but , the meaning in the hebrew is \u201cconfusion\u201c - - and it was called that after god scattered the people by confusing their languages . it is significant that babylon , that great empire so renowned for its great wealth , pride , pomp , and all that is the opposite of the kingdom of god , should have had its beginning in the evil heart of nimrod . \u201can evil man out of the evil treasure [ of the heart ] bringeth forth evil things\u201c [\nthankfully the internet age came along . museums and other institutions have posted many manuscripts online . better manuscripts are now available than the ones found in mpg . the ability to do digital searches with google\u2019s search engine reveals even more texts . the gift of tongues project is one of the direct benefactors of the digitization of libraries , museums , and institutions .\nbase of the ziggurat at babylon , thought to be the location of the tower of babel described in genesis 11 .\n\u2013 a term given for those who emphasize miracles , supernatural occurrences , and oftentimes speaking in tongues within the christian\u2019s everyday life . really , it is an umbrella term for pentecostals , charismatics ,\nthe renewalist faith , with its emphasis on holiness , mysticism , independence , and easy adaptability to different cultures , is the fastest growing segment of christianity in the world . their christian mystic framework along with its distinctive theology of speaking in tongues makes a historical study imperative .\nand with every living creature that is with you , of the fowl , of the cattle , and of every beast of the earth with you ;

did every inspired person speak in a single different language and together they were speaking the languages of all the nations ? was it one sound emanating and changed during transmission so that the hearers heard their own language ? if it was a miracle of hearing , what was that sound ? were the people conscious of what they were saying or were they completely overtaken by a divine power and had no comprehension about what they were speaking ? was it a heavenly , non - human or prayer language ? did this miracle continue after the first - century ? how did this tongues - event get passed down to the next generation ? did it become part of the church liturgy ?\nas a person who attends a charismatic church and involved in these type of communities for decades , i wanted the results to parallel their experiences . unfortunately , the findings did not allow for this . everyone who approaches the 2000 year narrative on speaking in tongues has to allow history to speak for itself \u2013 not to rewrite history to justify contemporary experience .\na more contemporary example is reinhard bonnke . bonnke is a german - born evangelist whose work in africa , especially nigeria has earned him the rank of one the top preachers of all time in respect to audience reach . the example here is his public speaking in tongues at a large indoor gathering somewhere in asia . his christ for the nations website claims over 55 million documented decisions for christ under his ministry .\nthese are the families of the sons of noah , after their generations , in their nations : and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood .\ndor\u00e9 based his tower of babel on the minaret of the great mosque of samarra , in present day iraq . the minaret is 52 m high and has a spiralling cone .\ni will ascend above the heights of the clouds ;

( 1 ) as to the preceding topics , what has been already said will be sufficient . we might next proceed to consider , and that in no slight or cursory manner , the philosophical account which moses gives us of the confusion of languages ; for he speaks in the following manner :\nand all the earth had one pronunciation , and there was one language among all men . and it came to pass , as they were moving from the east , that they found a plain in the land of shinar , and dwelt there . and one man said to his neighbour , come , let us make bricks , and let us burn them with fire ; and they had bricks for stone , and asphalt for mortar . and they said , come , let us build ourselves a city , and a tower whose head shall reach to heaven ; and let us make for ourselves a name , before we are scattered over the face of all the earth . and the lord came down to see the city , and the tower , which the sons of men had builded . and the lord said , behold , all mankind is one race , and there is but one language among them all ; and they have begun to do this thing , and now there will not fail unto them anything of all the things which they desire to do . come , let us go down and confuse their language there , so that each may not understand the voice of his neighbour . and the lord scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth , and they desisted from building the city , and the tower . on this account , the name of it was called confusion , because there the lord confused the languages of all the earth , and from thence the lord scattered them over the face of all the earth .\n{ 1 } { # ge 11 : 1 . }\nso the lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth : and they left off to build the city .\nif biblical archaeology is defined loosely as \u201cthe study of the ancient things related to the bible , . . .\nhe disappointeth the devices of the crafty , so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise .\nthis event sent by god was the ultimate cause of the early separation of mankind , their dispersal throughout the earth , and their division into races and nations .\none of the primary areas of the near east where civilization began is the tigris - euphrates river valley , comprising portions of modern syria and iraq . this region , the fertile valley between the two rivers , has been known since the times of the ancient greeks as mesopotamia , literally \u201cthe land between the rivers . \u201d this area of course was the home of many peoples familiar to us from general ancient history and the old testament , such as the assyrians and babylonians . before these peoples a group known as the sumerians , the creators of classic mesopotamian culture , inhabited the southern part of the valley . how and when did civilization start in this region ? in order to at least partially answer this question , we will need to examine both written and archaeological source material . the earliest of that archaeological material comes from cultures in the valley that did not as yet know the art of writing .\nmetaethicists have long been interested in the meaning of the words ' good ' , ' ought ' , and ' reasons ' . many are persuaded that , although we might analyze one or another of these words in terms of the others , there ' s no breaking out of the circle of normative concepts when explaining the meaning of such words . this has led to the prominence of three main kinds of metaethical view . nonnaturalists explain the irreducibility of the meaning of normative words by claiming that normative words denote sui generis normative properties , supervenient on but not identical to natural properties . a posteriori reductive naturalists explain this irreducibility by claiming that normative words express different concepts from words characteristic of description of the natural facts , but they propose ( or at least hold out hope for ) a substantive empirical reduction of the properties denoted by these words to natural properties . expressivists explain the irreducibility by claiming that normative words play a fundamentally different role in expressing our mental states to that played by words expressing representations of pieces of the natural world .\nstephen finlay is associate professor of philosophy at the university of southern california . he is the author of

apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the bible through archaeological and biblical research .\nthere is , however , a rich tradition in moral philosophy of insisting that moral ends aren ' t like this . aristotle argued that living morally isn ' t a state of affairs plausibly conceived as an outcome of actions like telling the truth , paying one ' s debts , helping the needy , etc . rather doing these sorts of things is , on the aristotelian view , the immediate actualization of the ongoing activity of living morally . can finlay ' s view make sense of that idea ?\nthe other records , transmitted orally for countless generations , are inconsistent . some speak of \u201cstrange speech , \u201d others of new languages .\nthis summary fills in

readers of sumerian . it must be remembered that these fields are highly specialized . e . a . speiser and b . landsberger , who insisted that many of the words in sumerian documents are not sumerian

rehearsals , where there was a lot of development of characters ( even a character name change ) . a good portion of the discussion was on the comedic elements of the film , where pace and timing of a performance can be the difference between a gag getting a laugh , or it falling like a lead balloon . in a 72 , time is restricted so honing in on those comedic performances can be stressful . however , the 72 seems to be benefiting from an extremely talented group of actors and actresses , and everyone seemed happy with their performances and the development of the characters .\ntherefore their

( 99 ) and it is very beautifully said by moses , in the form of a parable , when he speaks of the world as if it resembled a brick ; for the world appears to stand and to be firmly fixed like a brick in a house , as far as the vision of the sight of the outward senses can inform us , but it has a very swift motion , and one which is able to outstrip all particular motions .

page script ) , it does very little to encourage a mood of dread or suspense , emotions so key to a story like this . i found myself wishing that the menace at the film\u2019s center had been a bit more nebulous , or at the very least that the filmmakers had tried to string the mystery along a little longer . as the film stands , we get georgia working out her issues with specters of her dead parents , a recycled plot device that fails to work even in the more direct dramatic sense . this story isn\u2019t\ndirector \u0096 richard franklin , screenplay \u0096 everett de roche , producers \u0096 richard franklin & jennifer hadden , photography \u0096 ellery ryan , music \u0096 nerida tyson -

looking aliens in the background of the original movie . when star wars went to games , those games didn\u2019t just enact film events ; they showed us what life would be like for a jedi trainee or a bounty hunter .\nwith this thin veneer of medical ' therapy ' , or whatever , these films were being shown in these little underground cinemas and so on around the place . they were all essentially softcore , and we decided to make a kind of send -

the mantle of cinema then was taken up by some spirited directors and writers . films thus came out of the cocoon of drama and portrayed human emotions in a realistic manner .\nhow did john paul , one - time journalist and a bank employee , enter filmdom as a script writer ? john paul rules out the common expectations of a family lineage in cinema and attributes it to the sheer passion celluloid evoked in him during the seventies .\ni was working with the features section of the now defunct kerala times . dr . sebastian paul , present ernakulam mla , was in charge of the section . i used to write features and other articles on cinema . this was one factor which drew me close to the medium .\nthe mapping of human emotions in cinema and the immense potential it holds enthused me to enter the world of films . i was also an active member of the ernakulam film society ,\nhe says .\nenter i . v . sasi , a hitmaker of the eighties , and john paul was asked to suggest a story for his forthcoming film . the director took the young writer to veteran playwright , thoppil bhasi . the film\nnjan njan mathram\nwas the outcome of the meeting between thoppil bhasi and john paul .\nthere were times when he used to complete 14 films in a row and still continue to churn out films with a class of their own .\nthe characters he brought out through the excellent acting of bharat gopi in\normaykayi\nand nedumudi venu in\nvidaparayum mumbe\nstill remain fresh in the minds of the malayali audience .\nwith the prathap pothan directed , mohanlal starer ,\nyatramozhi\n, john paul took a temporary break from writing scripts . he then went on to build the malayalam cine technicians ' association ( macta ) with his friends in the industry .\nmacta has grown into a major association of malayalam cinema . it helped in evolving a sense of fraternity among the members ,\nhe says .\njohn paul turned producer with the m . t . vasudevan nair directed film ,\noru cherupunchiri\n. the film won the best director award for mt and bagged the award for the best environmental film at the national film awards .\noru cherupunchiri\nhas also been invited to participate in the munich

i just wanted to see where it would go . so eventually peter did kind of like , \u201ccome , \u201d and i waited the appropriate amount of time and then i yelled cut . and all of us just burst out laughing .\nparties launches weekend ideas and not to be missed nightlife fashion and arts events .\nthe aspiring comedian from houston , texas once performed alongside howie mandel and is now performing for all of america . \u00bb get the america ' s got talent app : . . .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nincludes unlimited streaming via the free bandcamp app , plus high - quality download in mp3 , flac and more .\nbeaumont , tx in early 2008 , they have been making the presence known ever since . there newest ep\nruin your weekend\nhas been receiving praise from critics all over the nation\nthe surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group red fang is a tip of the hat to the original \u201cpredator . \u201d\ninfectious sludge finally arrives after four years of furtive jamming , out on small stone recordings .\ngritty , psychedelic rock , full of crashing guitar riffs and lo - fi percussion .\npercussive , guitar - driven , psych - chaos from philly trio who never take their adrenaline - fueled feet off the gas .\nafter the death of jack , their father , two estranged brothers return to the family cottage to sort through his possessions . over the course of three days , they must learn to let go of the man they mythologized and accept responsibility for the men they have become .\ntoronto international film festival ( world premiere ) atlantic film festival st . john\u2019s international women\u2019s film festival whistler film festival\na graduate of the prestigious national theatre school of canada ( 2004 ) , peter mooney\u2019s most recently known for playing officer nick collins on rookie blue ( abc / global ) . previous to that he earned a canadian screen award nomination for his work in camelot ( starz / cbc ) opposite joseph fiennes and eva greene . he has guest starred in some of television\u2019s most popular series including csi : miami ( cbs ) beauty and the beast ( cw ) , republic of doyle ( cbc ) , heartland ( cbc ) being erica ( cbc ) and murdoch mysteries ( shaftesbury films ) . peter starred opposite ashley greene in the film summer\u2019s blood , and was featured in the tower ( cbs / paramount ) and zos : zone of separation ( tmn ) . he starred on the tv series falcon beach ( abc family / global ) for two seasons .\nequally at home on the stage peter has headlined several productions in his hometown at manitoba theatre centre including after miss julie , jitters , pride and prejudice , our town and the tempest . among his other theatre credits include tales from ovid ( centaur theatre ) and the canadian premier of the goat or who is sylvia ?

hour - long meditation on the nature and artifice of time ,\nthe clock\nconsists of thousands of film ( and to a lesser degree , television ) clips that feature clocks , watches and other timepieces , edited together so that the time you see on screen reflects the current time .\nbeginning december 21 , the museum will provide updates on visiting the clock , including live updates on the queue , via urltoken and moma\u2019s twitter account , @ museummodernart .\nlead corporate support for christian marclay : the clock is provided by the charles schwab corporation . additional support for the exhibition is provided by lionel conacher and joan dea .\nbut individual donors also stepped forward to fund particular artworks that moved them . with marclay ' s \u201cthe clock , \u201d hollywood film producer and new york giants chairman steve tisch , who became a lacma trustee last year , pledged the $ 467 , 500 needed to buy the work before voting began .\n' the clock ' is at the power plant in toronto until november 25 , and at moma , new york , from december 21 until january 21 .\nprecision f - strike : cooper gets one towards the end , especially noticeable as there honestly isn ' t much swearing in the film up until that point .\nthe film on the waterfront ( 1954 ) was partially intended as director elia kazan and writer budd schulberg ' s justification for cooperating with huac . the film ' s hero , played by marlon brando , wrestles with the question of whether to tell the police the names of the criminals operating on the docks , eventually determining that it would be immoral not to do so .\nthe black hole ' s complex appearance in the film is due to the image of the accretion disc being warped by gravitational lensing into two images : one looping over the black hole and the other under it .\nit never really did , although the film ' s cult status has arguably grown in the last 10 years : as he has become more elusive , so forsyth ' s legend has fortified . there was a palpable thrill in the air when the film ' s leads \u2013 sinclair , grogan , robert buchanan and dee hepburn \u2013 posed for photographs at the glasgow film theatre on sunday , together again for the first time since they made the film . but there was also something bittersweet about watching this frozen elegy for youthful innocence and optimism in a room with its now forty - something stars , a heart - jolting reminder that even daft , dreamy wee boys who have to be home by 11 o ' clock grow into older , wiser , more melancholy men .\nthus film and television history is co - opted into a promiscuously goofy hellzapoppin\u2019 - esque collage . but the clock is also a film of considerable philosophical density . it invites us to examine the way time \u2013 or the effect of time \u2013 is created and structured in film . we become aware of different intensities of film time . there are moments of heightened tension ( \u2018hot\u2019 time , you might say ) in which events happen , or are keenly anticipated : notably the run - up to midday , a moment awaited in the clock by a heteroclite mob including moritz bleibtreu , gene hackman and , of course , gary cooper in high noon . then there are the slow , seemingly vacant moments \u2013 \u2018cool\u2019 time \u2013 in which characters lounge around or emerge from late slumber ( 3pm , we learn , is a prime waking hour for artists and drunks ) . we too become acutely aware of time in the outside world ; emerging from the clock , you can expect your sense of the passing minutes to be curiously heightened for a good hour or so .\nsanjay suri served as a jury member at mami festival , 2012 ( mumbai academy of moving images ) and as muhr arab feature jury at the ( diff ) dubai international film festival , 2013 . onir served as a jury member for selection of india\u2019s entry for foreign film category at the oscars .\nwhen he finally saw the finished product at the 1981 london film festival , however , sinclair was\nmortified\n. he thought he looked terrible and gangly ( it suddenly dawned on him why forsyth had\nmade me exaggerate all those stretches and lunges when he was filming me exercising\n) , and he feared his performance\nruined the film\n. grogan was a little more level - headed , recognising the film ' s charms , and its\nsmart , progressive view of a girl ' s world\n. but even after the film was greeted rapturously , all involved thought the fuss would soon die down .\n17 ) the production costs came in at $ 2 , 777 , 000 \u2013 a vast sum for the time . on initial release , the film only earned $ 3m .\nthere is still a process of editing involved \u2013 many of the film clips are leftovers from the gargantuan catalogue that he and his assistants formed whilst working on the clock . it begins with a silent loop showing a disembodied hand , index finger tapping the velvet pile of a curtain , over and over . this is typical marclay \u2013 his eye for banal visual oddities was the making of the clock , and indeed all his other video works , which are photographic in a way .\nincredibly obvious bomb : marvin drives the secret service in the direction he wants by charging towards them while strapped with dynamite and a ridiculously large micky mouse clock .\nrt @ cairoscene : our resident film critic and cinephile @ waelkhairy88 gives his # oscar2016 predictions . brace yourself leo . urltoken 2 years ago\nbut that interpretation is only obvious if you know the film ' s background , and even then it ' s not inescapable . none of the contemporary reviews i can find describe the film as having any political component at all . ( here is the new york times review , which does allude to the question of whom to credit for the film ' s excellence ; here is variety ' s review . ) in the book showdown at high noon : witch - hunts , critics , and the end of the western , jeremy byman writes :\nmany non - astronomers also engaged with astronomy during the international year of astronomy 2009 ( iya2009 ) , the largest education and public outreach event in science . the iya2009 reached upwards of eight hundred million people , through thousands of activities , in more than 148 countries ( iau , 2010 ) .\nsome ten thousand clips were collected for marclay\u2019s video . \u201cputting the clips back into real time , \u201d he said , exposed \u201chow film is constructed . \u201d\nmarclay\u2019s monstrous creation needed a title . he thought of a few of his usual puns : \u201ctime piece , \u201d \u201cclock work . \u201d then he and burnett discussed the matter , and decided that the work was too grand to be trivialized with wordplay . better , marclay decided , to call it \u201cthe clock . \u201d\nthis precision yields several extraordinary effects , some of which may be fully evident only to a hypothetical viewer watching the film in its 24 - hour entirety . ( there have been 24 - hour screenings , but to marclay\u2019s knowledge , the longest stint by any viewer has been eight hours . ) one effect is a strangely addictive , mesmeric quality ; the first time i visited the clock , two hours slipped by like a breath . as happens when you watch any involving film , you lose your immediate sense of duration , and yet \u2013 here\u2019s the wonderful paradox \u2013 the clock constantly reminds you of the exact time . your watching time is metered by the piece itself .\none of the visual pleasures of the clock is that marclay and his team took a euro - centric approach to their film materials . while there are plenty of clips with bette davis and other hollywood notables , the viewer is offered a pleasing variety of films from germany and france\u2014with no subtitles ! \u2014and england . we\u2019re likely to be transported in film clips from berlin during the cold war to post - blitz - bombed london to an antic parisian nightclub\u2014and then to a hollywood studio .\nsince it premiered at their mason\u2019s yard site in 2010 , the work has been showing almost continuously : in new york , yokohama , jerusalem , plymouth , venice , los angeles , sydney , boston , paris , and zurich . it\u2019s about to open in toronto , but for the first time , marclay isn\u2019t going . having rigorously attended its every installation , he decided to step back and let assistant paul anton smith take over . \u201cit had stopped me from doing other things\u201d he says . \u201ci had a couple of small shows but it was the clock and still the clock and the swiss guy who made the clock \u2013 ha ha\u201d he says wearily . \u201cat last it\u2019s taking on a life of its own and freeing me to focus on other things . \u201d\n2 . anxiety the clock references the cinematic past through the recycling of known films . as viewers , we look for anchor points or moments of identification in the montage of clocks appearing before us . for cinephiles , to identify a known actor or the film from which the fragment of time is detached is to locate oneself as an informed viewer in a structure of familiar territory . as comforting as this is , the linear structure of the work and the rapid exchange of one temporal reference by another reminds one that time never stops . expectation comes to propel the film forward from one clip to another . the expectation is that a reference to time will be found embedded in the next clip . a \u2018where\u2019s waldo\u2019 of time ensues as we are conditioned by the film to look for clocks . finding the temporal signifier resolves the expectation but this resolution is short - lived , replaced immediately with the expectation that the next scene will provide another image of time . viewers are kept continually in a state of perpetual and anxious receptivity . the film\u2019s oscillation between anticipation and resolution burns out the continuous punctuality of our attention span . the clock is relentless .\n44 ) lux radio theater broadcast a 60 - minute cbs radio adaptation of the movie on christmas day 1950 with judy garland reprising her film role as dorothy .\n49 ) the film won two oscars for best original score and best original song , and was nominated for best art direction , best cinematography and best effects ."]}

dramatic ) direction and the coveted golden sheaf of excellence award for the top film of 2004 ) .\nhardwood\nwas also part of last year ' s official selection at the infact film series in los angeles .\ndavis\u2019s first film , hardwood , was nominated for an academy award for best short documentary . he received the don haig award at the hot docs festival for invisible city . davis also directed the short film aruba , the 2016 doc giants of africa and most recently the documentary short rivolta .\na film about the director ' s relationship with his father who was a team member of the harlem globetrotters .\nthe film also features never - seen - before dramatic archival material discovered in private and public archives in israel and europe .\nhardwood became a reality for me in 2000 when i read hubert ' s first funding proposal . it was seven oversized pages , each with a black and white photo or two and a few lines written beneath , describing the film . hubert ' s proposal was simple , elegant and poignant , so reflective of his completed film . all through the process of making\nhardwood ,\nhubert kept me involved . he asked me for feedback on what he wrote , got me to set up shoots in vancouver and chicago and research archival footage , and then he sent me rough cuts as he went through the process of editing\nhardwood .\nas a retired documentary filmmaker , i was deeply honored my son asked me to work on his first film .\ncurrently on tour throughout the us with the film , brody explained how the unrehearsed words he spoke from the heart upon beating the soviets are about much more than just basketball . his \u201con the map\u201d phrase entered the israeli vernacular because it resonated far beyond the hardwood court .\nhardwood began as an opportunity for me to support my brother hubert in his dream of becoming a filmmaker . the\nhardwood experience ,\nas i have now begun to affectionately describe the process of participating in the making and showing of hardwood , has been therapeutic and enlightening . as i contemplated organizing public showings of hardwood in atlanta , a close friend and mentor told me that\nour people ( black ) need this ; if one person decides to reconnect with their family , then sharing your family ' s story will be worth it .\nhe was right !\nread the full text of the poem \u00bb he shares in the film ,\nthere are some things i had to figure out .\n\u2018the film reflects a period of history that is still with so many israelis as they go to sleep and wake up every day . it\u2019s something they tell their kids and grandkids about\u2019\nas a human and civil rights activist for over a decade i have never experienced more\nintimate public discussions\nthan the ones that hubert and i engaged in after we premiered hardwood in atlanta community settings . sons , mothers , fathers and daughters openly cried in describing how they\nneeded this\nbecause now they can talk about what has happened in their own families . there is a universal message that hardwood offers to families of all races . but in a time when 70 percent of african - american children are born out of wedlock , and are twice as likely as white children to experience divorce , hardwood can become a powerful tool in the process of reconnecting and repairing our communities , family by family .\nwhile the surprise 1977 victory and brody\u2019s remarks are legendary among israelis of all ages , this astounding sporting accomplishment is little known across the atlantic . menkin , a lifelong maccabi tel aviv fan , decided it was time that americans became familiar with this miracle on hardwood .\nmenkin originally made a film about the story for israeli television , but realized after meeting executive producers nancy spielberg and roberta grossman \u2014 the team behind \u201cabove and beyond\u201d \u2014 that there could be a possibility of expanding it into a feature aimed at american audiences .\ni am currently living in toronto with my wife . i have recently completed production on my second short film , a drama called aruba , under the banner of my production company , shine . i also have a documentary in development called the invisible city about racial profiling .\nhardwood is a personal journey by director hubert davis , the son of former harlem globetrotter mel davis , who explores how his father ' s decisions affected his life and those of his extended family . elegantly structured into three chapters entitled\nlove ,\nrecollection\nand\nredemption ,\ndavis uses personal interviews , archival footage and home movies to delve into his father ' s past in the hope of finding a new direction for his own . at its core , hardwood is about the power of redemption and the healing of the bonds between fathers and sons .\nobviously , the highlight of the year was when hardwood was nominated for an academy award in 2005 for best documentary short subject . the best part of the experience was being able to share it with my family , who joined my wife kelly and me on the red carpet . i think the honor of being nominated was very validating for my family in having the courage to tell our story . the whole experience has brought me closer to my family and has given me a better insight into them as people . making hardwood has taught me so much about myself and has been the most rewarding professional experience of my life .\n\u201cthe film reflects a period of history that is still with so many israelis as they go to sleep and wake up every day . it\u2019s something they tell their kids and grandkids about . so much has happened in the world since then , but israel has stood strong throughout , \u201d brody said .\nmenkin is pleased with the release of \u201con the map\u201d just in time for the 40th anniversary of the game - changing championship . but more importantly , he is happy that he was able to get the film done while most of the former players are still able to recount their experiences for the camera .\n\u201cabove and beyond , \u201d is a 2014 film about american and other foreign former wwii airmen who volunteered to fight for israel in the 1948 war of independence and contribute to the nascent israeli air force . menkin saw a parallel in the maccabi team that won the european championship . it consisted mainly of american players recruited to elevate the team\u2019s playing .\nhardwood was presented to me as a request to participate in a project that would help bring closure to our family regarding the past . i was reluctant at first , not eager to relive the events that caused me so much pain and anguish , but i agreed after much urging from my son , mawuli . i hoped that this would finally put the matter to rest .\nin addition to brody , menkin got the full participation of the other surviving american - born members of the 1976 - 1977 maccabi tel aviv team , many of whom played numerous seasons with the team and ended up settling in israel and marrying israeli women . the film also features interviews with israeli former maccabi tel aviv star miki berkovich , former nba commissioner david stern , and american basketball icon bill walton , among others .\nas for me , i recently celebrated my tenth wedding anniversary with my wife , jana , and our two sons kobie ( 7 ) and khari ( 5 ) by renewing our vows on a cruise with family and friends . we now live in atlanta , georgia , where i have my own law practice , mawuli davis & associates . i am currently the co - chair of the atlanta chapter of the national coalition of blacks for reparations in america ( n ' cobra ) and of the state bar of georgia young lawyers division ' s minorities in the profession committee . i have been a youth basketball coach for both of my sons ' basketball teams for the last four years . i am looking forward to continuing to facilitate community discussions about the\nhardwood experience\nwith the hope that every family will find the courage to tell their story , and as hubert states in hardwood ,\nforever change the pattern\nof their lives .\nparticipating in hardwood on a personal level was also rewarding . answering hubert ' s questions as he delved into our past allowed me to go where i hadn ' t been in a very long time \u2014 to the beginning of my relationship with his father , when i was so very young . a time filled with joy and pain . i wanted hubert to know why i made the decisions i did in my life and his sensitive face showed he understood , and that comforted me . it is deeply gratifying now to witness how hubert ' s touching and honest story of our family is inspiring others to re - examine their family ' s relationships .\ni ' m often asked how i feel about my life being exposed in hardwood . my life has always been an open book . friends and family met mel in vancouver in the 60s . they knew i visited him on the road through the years . and everyone knew mel was married when i was pregnant with hubert . mel asked me to have his child and i said yes . it wasn ' t an easy decision to defend . my only regret was hurting mary etta . as the years passed i tried to talk myself out of my relationship with mel , to no avail . mel was my rock . one of the happiest days of my life was the day i married mel , 25 years after i met him .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nwith jurassic world : fallen kingdom now in cinemas , we take a look at how imdb users rated the films of the franchise . plus , browse exclusive lego\u00ae jurassic world playsets , presented by lego .\nenjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with prime video .\nsvg public\n- / / w3c / / dtd svg 1 . 1 / / en\nurltoken\nmel is my steady companion and best friend now . i support him as he works with young people , teaching them about life through basketball . i visit family and friends . my passion is the natural world around me and i try to spend a few hours of each day just enjoying it . any spare time is divided between working to save a small\nnature\npark in vancouver and writing a book with mary etta exploring our parallel lives with mel .\ni found that , while talking about the events that happened 20 years ago , i was still connected to the past by the present and the future . reliving those years has brought me to an understanding of a history that began long before my failed marriage . in telling the story , i was forced to relive it , reexamine it and experience it from a different perspective . many things i did not know were revealed and the origin of certain behaviors were made understandable .\nif , by telling my story and that of my family \u2014 and i mean my extended family although it ' s not the\ntraditional\nfamily \u2014 perhaps other families can face their past and move ahead to the future .\ni am now a retired public school teacher and catholic school principal , living a life filled with children , grandchildren , volunteerism , church and other activities . i have no regrets about the past , because if it had been any different , i would not be who i am today and i would not have my son and grandchildren . . . my family .\nharry and the hendersons official trailer # 1 -

out days , coz i know i\u2019m not planning to review them anyway , so it really doesn\u2019t matter if my brain\u2019s not all switched on . hot young bloods took me by surprise though . i had so many thoughts after the movie that a review really seemed the only way to get them all out ! xd i think that\u2019s possibly similar to what happened with you when you watched the suspect ! many thoughts together = review in the making !\nmr . sloan joined the bloods when he was 12 , but now considers involvement in gangs \u201cself -

gil wakes up first to go search for young - sook . he walks back to the town to look for young - sook while crying hysterically , but it\u2019s too late for she had already left to seoul . he suffers a mental breakdown upon learning this and continue to bawl at the disappearance of young -

sik and young - sook are hanging out with each other at a bonfire . gwang - sik pushes forth the idea that maybe he and young - sook can start making some progress in their friendship , but she doesn\u2019t seem to like it . he assumes it\u2019s because of another guy who he is willing to hurt so that young - sook will only be his . possessive much ?\ni was expecting kim young kwang to have a more significant role in this movie , but unfortunately he was greatly overshadowed by the two leads , lee jong seok and park bo young . lee jong seok ' s bumbling lover boy character did deliver some laughs , especially when faced with kim young kwang ' s gangster character . but the standout was park bo young - don ' t be fooled by her baby face , she can strike fear in the heart of any man with her punches and vulgarities . quite a transformation from her previous roles .\nrunning turtle director lee yeon -

keke ) . the two groups end up fighting one another and war breaks out .\nmr . sloan begins with a myth : that gangs like the bloods and the crips started in 1972 , when they formed in response to a dispute over a leather jacket . that\u2019s rubbish . the film shows that gang animosity in los angeles dates to the 1940s and \u201950s , when the police had set up an extortion racket on central avenue to bilk the black music clubs .\nyoung - sook escapes to her village and recalls memories of the past between her and choong - gil . they were childhood friends and classmates when they were younger so that\u2019s how they know each other . young - sook remembers the one time when choong - gil gave her his compass so that she wouldn\u2019t get in trouble for not having hers . he ends up getting in trouble for not having his compass later on at school that day , but he remains strong and reassures young - sook that he is fine .\ni absolutely love this movie and the fights were very good ! also jun soo jin looked super sexy and looked like a real bad girl i would love to see her in action movies . * spoiler * i loved the fact that joong gil ( lee jong suk ) could never really stand up to gwang sik ( young - kwang ) even when he wanted to fight him because of so hee ( se - young ) he tried but was still a wimp about it and did nothing but when it came to young sook ( park bo young ) he was able to actually fight without fear . i think that part is very meaningful because it showed how much she really meant to him .\na radio dj / entertainer in his 30s suddenly learns he may be a grandfather , thanks to a young girl who has a baby son and claims to be his daughter .\nall the students exiting off the train walks past the three friends , including the girl teacher that choong - gil landed on as well as young - sook and her sidekick .\nboth joong gil and young sook needed to sort out their inner turmoil and figure out who they were as people , before they were ready to come together as a couple .\neven when joong gil was chasing every other girl around , i believe that young sook knew \u2013 or at least , wanted to believe \u2013 that he was made of better stuff .\nthanks azure , i\u2019m glad you enjoyed the movie , and this review ! \ud83d\ude42 i really enjoy lee jong suk and park bo young as well . they\u2019re both such talented actors .\n\u201caegyo is how i live this world , \u201d he continued with his killing smile , making the audience laugh . \u201cmaybe it\u2019s because i started my model career when i was young . \u201d\noh . em . gee . . . . this movie was daebak hilarious !

! !\nso - hee confirms with choong - gil whether what she heard about young - sook liking choong - gil is true or not to which he responds , \u201cdon\u2019t say something so scary like that . \u201d lol . he adds that someone just made it up and that it holds no truth . ugh , really choong - gil ? ! you\u2019re just going to ignore young - sook like that ? tsk tsk tsk . meanwhile , young - sook finally lets her feelings out as she cries over the sight of choong - gil and so - hee together back at the restaurant .\nbefore the time skip , joong gil is a big hot mess of a character , with a lot of baggage to sort through . after the time skip , when we come back to him , he\u2019s clearly a more settled , mature version of himself . there\u2019s groundedness and resolve in his eyes . he has set his heart on what he wants to do , and it\u2019s gratifying to see him go for it .\nthe movie begins by following two high students riding on a bicycle . they continue to ride through the fields with the male student continually looking back at the female student in concern , but smiling when he finds her happy and content . the ride comes to an abrupt stop though when the couple notices young - sook ( park bo young ) , the bad - ass and frightening leader that harbors a crush on our male student . young - sook also notices the couple and grows annoyed at the sight of her crush with another woman , but she goes on to mind her own business .\neveryone is surprised and taken aback , but the one person that is probably the most infuriated at this point is young - sook who watches all of this unfold right in front of her eyes .\nafter eating at the hotel with her friends , young - sook returns home only to find visitors / customers there ( she sleeps at her restaurant ) . she waits for a while until they leave and then enters her house . young - sook cooks a small meal for a frequent customer even though it\u2019s late at night without saying a single word to him then leaves afterwards to enter her bedroom .\nif you would like to read my other thoughts on this movie , i wrote a \u2018what mary thinks\u2019 edition on this movie a few months ago so you can read that here . but all in all , although \u2018hot blooded youth\u2019 did provide me with laughter , smiles , and tears , i honestly admit that i wouldn\u2019t want to watch it a third time around . i think watching it two times is good enough for me .\nset in the 80s , a countryside high school teen named , joong - gil , is the biggest heartthrob in town . young - sook , the girlfriend of the school\u2019s toughest bully , has a crush on joong - gil , but he shows her no interest . one day , so - hee , an innocent looking girl , moves into town . young - sook thinks of so - hee as her rival and picks a fight with her . meanwhile , young - sook\u2019s boyfriend suspects ties between young - sook and joong - gil and harasses so - hee , whom joong - gil has a crush on . joong - gil tries to get revenge for so - hee\u2019s sake , but gets beaten down every time . at last , joong - gil decides to have his ultimate battle of revenge aboard a running commuter train .\nthe actress park plays \u2018young - sook ' , the school ' s top girl gangster , and the actor lee plays \u2018joong - gil ' , the school ' s legendary casanova at hongseong agricultural high school .\nin her bedroom , young - sook studies a small but cherished geometry compass that she\u2019s kept to this day . she caresses it while she holds it , reminded of all the memories that the compass encompasses .\nmr . sloan now says this was a \u201cghetto folktale , \u201d but it fractured the movement . the crips and the bloods , the gangs that formed in the 1970s , are seen by mr . sloan as the bastard children of the political organizations of the \u201960s . \u201cout of the ashes of the black panther party came the gangs , \u201d he says . the crips had a sketchy plan for social reform and inventive forms of pageantry ; they also had a constitution .\ni\u2019m not sure how others feel about our second leads , but i really disliked them . so - hee was pretty two - faced which was evident in the bathroom scene where she was fighting young - sook . young - sook didn\u2019t strip so - hee\u2019s clothes off ; so - hee took off her own clothes so that she could prepare to fight young - sook . then when choong - gil came inside the restroom , so - hee pretended to act like she was all innocent and faultless and like she was getting beatened up by young - sook when she herself was the person who initiated the fight . like seriously ? ! i mean young - sook isn\u2019t all that good either , but at least she doesn\u2019t pretend to act all cute and innocent and stays tough and bossy throughout the whole movie , displaying a consistent image and role . as for gwang - sik , he was just waaayyyy too obsessive over young - sook and way too possessive . it\u2019s funny how he didn\u2019t realize that young - sook never liked him until the end of the movie . he was too blind and delusional to realize that young - sook never cared for him . and plus , the majority of the scenes that we saw him in was of him either fighting or beating choong - gil up . the movie didn\u2019t really offer to introduce their background stories either which is why they seem hateful to me . we don\u2019t really know much about our second leads other than that so - hee moved to the countryside because of her health and that gwang - sik claimed young - sook who was never his to begin with . if the movie had given some background information on our second leads and the obstacles or problems they faced to become the tough and rugged person they are , maybe i would pity them a little , but because the movie didn\u2019t , i just ended the movie feeling bitter and hateful towards them , lol .\ni love this movies . . i love park boyoung the most one . . haha . . i love all the scene that boyoung unnie act . . all the gang scene . . haha . . its too live and natural acting i ever see . . all over it , i really love and i hope that bo young will have a character like this again . . haha lol ! park bo young fighting ! !\nthis is my second comment , i don ' t know why the first one didn ' t comes out . it looks funny movie , i wish blood boiling youth will be a memorable movie in early 2014 . yeeee . . . . ! ! ! lee jong suk , kim young kwang , long legs man collaboration . so sad kim young kwang will not going to promote this movie with others due his military duty .\nset in the 80s , a countryside high school teen named , joong - gil , is the biggest heartthrob in town . young - sook , the girlfriend of the school ' s toughest bully , has a crush on joong - gil , but he shows her no interest . one day , so - hee , an innocent looking girl , moves into town . young - sook thinks so - hee as her rival and picks a fight with her . meanwhile , young - sook ' s boyfriend suspects ties between young - sook and joong - gil and harasses so - hee , whom joong - gil has a crush on . joong - gil tries to get revenge for so - hee ' s sake , but gets beaten down every time . at last , joong - gil decides to have his ultimate battle of revenge aboard a running commuter train .\nhis two friends does relay to young - sook though that choong - gil\u2019s in danger because of gwang - sik so she goes to rescue him . choong - gil is able to leave gwang - sik with just a few injuries on his face because of young - sook who stops and threatens gwang - sik . she meets up with choong - gil f a few minutes later and they walk together back home , but choong - gil doesn\u2019t want young - sook\u2019s help or for her to be around him . he walks ahead of her to avoid her presence , but stops when she pulls out the compass asking him if he remembers it .\nyoung - sook can\u2019t stand to stay in the warehouse any longer so she walks back home . while on her walk home , she meets gwang - sik who questions her on where she\u2019s going and whether or not she met up with choong - gil . young - sook answers that yes , they met up and actually did something together too which pisses gwang - sik off even more . she walks away unaffected by his anger though .\ni definitely enjoyed the more serious , dramatic , and emotional scenes in this movie , with most of them revolving around the childhood memories and the past . it was only then that we were able to get a better understanding of our characters . the young - sook that was an elementary kid was not the same young - sook that was in high school . the same can be applied to choong - gil and their relationship which was not the same when they were in elementary school and when they were in high school . a lot of things changed between choong - gil and young - sook and i wished the film could have shown us on how they drifted apart instead of forcing us to watch choong - gil flirt and play around with girls ( which i understand is his main feature and characteristic , but it got really boring and tiring ) . i enjoyed watching young young - sook and choong - gil interact with each other as friends , because it proves that they were close at one point , but what i think the film should have done was show us how they became distant .\nbut the movie felt slightly directionless - probably due to a combination of the writing and the directing . the character and relationship development were half - hearted , especially between lee jong seok and park bo young ' s characters .\nthe principal meets up with so - hee\u2019s father and young - sook\u2019s mother so that they can talk about the fight and reach a consensus , but they themselves end up arguing . fed up and exhausted , young - sook runs out of the office to get her belongings in her classroom and walks out of the school campus . while she walks out , choong - gil watches her from inside his classroom and ponders over her attitude plus behavior .\nlater on that night , young - sook dresses up really nicely ( she\u2019s wearing a dress ! how cute ! ) and checks her make - up in the mirror while waiting at choong - gil\u2019s \u2018base . \u2019 young - sook grows happy at the sound of footsteps but becomes disappointed when it\u2019s not the person that she wants . it turns out that choong - gil had an emergency so he sent his friend instead to go to the base to relay the message . disappointed , she walks towards the door but is interrupted by choong - gil\u2019s friend who has other plans instead . he places his hand on young - sook\u2019s behind and puts on a creepy smile which infuriates young - sook and causes her to beat choong - gil\u2019s friend up pretty bad . ( yeah dude , you\u2019re messing with the wrong person . but it\u2019s okay choong - gil\u2019s friend ! i would have you anytime ! ) .\nhis efforts to capture so - hee\u2019s heart goes to waste though for young - sook always ends up ruining his plans and stealing the gifts he got for so - hee . lol . just acknowledge and accept young - sook\u2019s feelings already choong - gil ! haha . when he finds so - hee feeding some rabbits that she seems to like , he ends up getting her those rabbits without her knowing who got it for her and why , but she accepts it regardless . meanwhile , young - sook notices the sneakers that she originally bought for choong - gil being worn by gwang - sik and grows angry because she didn\u2019t buy it for gwang - sik in the first place .\nhere is a little quick summary for you guys before i go ahead and start on the recap . it\u2019s a version of my own summary for the movie since i\u2019ve watched it before . hehe . so i apologize if it sounds really funny and weird . \u2018hot blooded youth\u2019 takes place in the early 1980\u2032s and showcases the lives of our four main characters : young - sook ( played by park bo young ) , joong - chil ( played by lee jong suk ) , so - hee ( played by lee se young ) , and gwang - sik ( played by kim young - kwang ) . to put it into simpler terms , the movie revolves around a love square . gwang - sik likes young - sook who likes joong - chil who likes so - hee . young - sook is the jjang or iljin of her high school . she\u2019s basically like the bad - ass leader that most of the girls obey out of fear . she\u2019s tough , bad - ass , and can drop kick a guy twice her height . yeah , i would be scared of her too . joong - chil is this really witty guy who uses his own method to capture the fluttering hearts of girls . he\u2019s suave and smooth when it comes to girls , but not so much when it comes to fighting as many times in this movie , he always comes home with a bruised face . so - hee is that new student who transferred from seoul that many of the guys spazz over , including joong - chil . so he tries his own tactics to get at her and almost succeeds . last but not least , gwang - sik is the iljin or leader of his mob and he harbors this crush ( but more like possession ) over young - sook , claiming her to be his and when he discovers that there might be someone else interfering in their relationship , he gets super angry and scary . sooo basically you don\u2019t want to mess with him either . the movie ultimately showcases the complex relationships between all our four lead characters and the journey that they embark on together .\nher gaze betrays layers of hurt even though she never speaks of them . and even though young sook\u2019s first instinct is always to protect her pride , she\u2019s bold and gutsy and never shies away from tough situations or difficult decisions .\ncan you help me out with something though ? i had been frantically searching for the song that was used at the beginning of the movie . the one that was played in the background when joong gil was riding a bicycle . also there were more songs like this throughout the movie , like when joong gil was about to kiss young sook but gets caught by lee se young . can you please tell me the name of the song and the singer ?\nso fcuking good . . . so so good . . . you just can ' t even - - ugh . the parts towards the end was just damn . great performance from lee jong suk and park bo young : - )\nchoong - gil and young - sook\u2019s school have just returned from another trip and is heading back to school . while on the train , choong - gil\u2019s friends expose to him details they\u2019ve obtained of the new transfer student from seoul ( creepy much eh ? ) . her name is so - hee ( lee se young ) which means \u2018rain\u2019 in korean , so upon hearing this , choong - gil\u2019s friend asks if it\u2019s raining and looks outside the window . hahaha .\nso - hee confronts young - sook on how troublesome she is and they end up fighting each other . although the crowd that has formed outside of the girl\u2019s restroom just watches them fight in amazement , choong - gil comes to stop them from continuing on any further . he accuses young - sook of stripping so - hee\u2019s clothes off of her when he comes to rescue so - hee ( who feigns weakness and fear ) and takes her out of the restroom .\nset in the early 1980 ' s in heongseong , south korea . young sook is the feared leader of a female gang at the high school . although she is known for her toughness , she has a secret crush on joong gil . meanwhile , joong gil is the school ' s playboy . he attempts to woo all the girls at his high school except for young sook . that ' s because gwang shik , the feared leader of a rival school ' s male\npark bo - young and kim young - kwang are set to co - star in the upcoming romantic drama your wedding ( translated title ) . in the film\u2019s plot , soo - jeong ( kim ) receives a wedding invitation from his first love seung - hee ( park ) . the film chronicles the 10 - year relationship of the two , beginning with their high school years and following them into adulthood . your wedding marks a return to the silver screen . . .\nso - hee is dissatisfied at first , but roller skating with choong - gil turns out to be a great time for her . she gets to witness clumsy choong - gil make a fool out of himself by continually falling and trying to impress her by pretending like he knows how to roller skate when really he doesn\u2019t . their date continues when they visit the town to get something to eat . while walking and talking casually , they come across young - sook\u2019s who working at her mom\u2019s restaurant . young - sook notices choong - gil and so - hee together , but doesn\u2019t say a word . the hurt and sorrowful look in her eyes already conveys enough . ( aw , poor young - sook ) .\nhe goes to talk and chill with young - sook in hopes of maybe cheering her up . he takes notice of her injured and pale face , but she tells him to not worry . choong - gil allows her to sleep at his base for the night since young - sook doesn\u2019t want to return home , especially since her mom knows that she got into a fight . they discuss about graduation and college which then leads them to their next conversation which is about their childhood memories . we learn that choong - gil wasn\u2019t always ladies\u2019s man when he was younger and actually had good grades while our young - sook hasn\u2019t changed much . she would always copy choong - gil\u2019s homework and had bad grades . haha , too cute . young - sook encourages choong - gil to go home while she gets ready to sleep . he leaves her alone in his base , but goes back to bring her a bag of medicine since he\u2019s worried about her .\nkim young kwang ( once again ) is completely believable as a violent dumb jock . i found gwang sik so reminiscent of his character in white christmas , really , except this time he\u2019s rocking the slicked - back elvis - esque hair .\ni did not expect this movie to be as good as it was . the characters are so well written and well played . the end was so corny and yet so perfect . park bo young and lee jung suk are so good togerher .\nand that is how a boy becomes a man ! my poor little young sook t . t had given everything . one of the most epic moment in this movie is when joong gil realized what he lost and gained a shock that changed him forever . the bully - fightback scene is just karma , happens everywhere and its so normal in my eyes . i want to meet my young sook too , i will keep searching for her and will not live a coward like joong gil did ."]}

communist hearings . john berry , who directed the documentary , was blacklisted himself upon its release .\n( ironweed films )\ndisagreed : it found the so - called hollywood ten in contempt of congress , fined them each $ 1 , 000 and sentenced them to up to a year in federal prison . all 10 artists also were fired by a group of studio executives \u2014 and the era of the hollywood blacklist began .\nin 1933 , while writing b movies , including several in the charlie chan series , he co -

american activities committee ( huac ) , an investigative committee of the u . s . house of representatives , during its probe of alleged communist influence in the american motion picture business . these prominent screenwriters and directors , who became known as the hollywood ten , received jail sentences and were banned from working for the major hollywood studios . their defiant stands also placed them at center stage in a national debate over the controversial anti - communist crackdown that swept through the united states in the late 1940s and early 1950s . besides the hollywood ten , other members of the film industry with alleged communist ties were later banned from working for the big movie studios . the hollywood blacklist came to an end in the 1960s .\nlocation : camrose park -

its not the film ' sole survivor ' ! ! my family had a colour tv and that film was in black & white . the search goes on : = (\na bumbling us marine captain is assigned to retrieve a space capsule from a despotic african ruler .\nwhatever the name of this film is , one thing i remember is the ghosts of the departed crew being in awe of a helicopter that turns up at the crash site , with one of them remarking that it ' hangs in the air just like a bird ' or something like that . suggesting that when they died there were no helicopters in service .\nthe name of the film was sole survivor and if you go to you tube and type in sole survivor you can sit back and enjoy the movie .\nthe film in question isn ' t\nthe survivor\n( the film of the james herbert book ) . the plot for the survivor was that one man survives a plane crash ( i think totally unharmed ) and in his struggle to come to terms with this uncovers the fact that the plane was sabotaged / blown up . the twist is that he didn ' t survive . he is a manifestation of the will of all the lost souls and as soon as the truth is reveals he dies .\ni too remember a film ' sole surviver ' about a man that lost his wife and daughter in a plane accident . when he tries to investigate he is pursued by some black op federal agents . the main agent was played by billy zane . the plot was of mind control and child experiments in a secret lab where people ' s minds were remotely controlled . the pilot of the commercial aircraft purposely crashed the plane because of his mind being controlled by one of the kids . in the end the man rescues a young girl , his own daughter ' s age , who was the ' sole surviver ' of the crash . the film was a two - part tv film never reproduced for dvd or vcr . i have tried to obtain copies to no avail . if anyone does get a lead on this film and how to obtain copies , please let me now . it is an incredible film , not to be confused with ' soul survivor ' .\ni remember watching this film as well , way back in the 80s . i simply cannot remember the name of the film . however , i remember a scene from the film where a patrol came across the wreckage . all the airmen were standing to attention and then all of a sudden they realised that nobody could see them . they are all sitting around and one of time they disappeared as they were being buried . if i remember rightly , there was one guy left , i don ' t think his body was found though . damn good film , wish i could get my hands on it .\nthis page has just answered a quest i have had for over a decade - i ' ve asked all sorts , including those who title themselves film afficiondos its weird to see that so many other people have been trying to find the title of this film as well - a bit like our own episode of the twilight zone . i can rest easy now . thanks again .\ni disagree that it was\nsole survivor\n. that was a different story where a survivor of a crash became a highranking officer who had wrongly claimed that his plane had gone down in the mediterranean . the film ( definitely not a twilight zone story ) was set in the desert and consisted of the dead crew of the crashed aircraft not knowing they were dead until their colleagues suddenly began disappearing as their bodies were found . the final\nsurvivor\nwas almost left alone by the plane until his body was found and his ghost released . i still don ' t know the name of the film and would love to know it .\nsorry , dino , but the urltoken you quote is the one made in 1970 starring the same cast . ( see\nurltoken\nweb site ) however the film we are trying to find had no survivors . not a sole survivor . the film was about a crew who had all been killed in the crash and were all unknowingly ghosts around the plane . at the end of the film , all the ghosts had gone due to all the bodies being found . it certainly wasn ' t\nsole survivor\n.\nwow ! i remember this film , which i saw when it was shown on tv in the uk in the late 70s . i remember the plane ( it was a b24 or b25 ) and i remember richard basehart , recognising him from voyage to the bottom of the sea . i dont remember william shatner , which is odd as i was a real star trek fan as a young kid . i remember that one of the ghosts was not recovered . . . i think that the others had bailed out with a dingy , believing the navigator that they were over the water off the ( libyan ? ) coast . one stayed with the plane ) the pilot ? ) and had survived the crash ( the sole survivor ? ) he had taken shelter from the sun under the tail section , which broke off and crushed him . this is why the air accident investigation team didnt find his body . they couldnt understand how there were no bodies , until one of the investigators realised that the navigator ( who had survived - the other play on the ' sole survivor ' title ) had got the position wrong - but he bailed out first and survived the drop . as i recall basehart was the navigator . yes , i too wish i could get a copy !\nbill , however , is unaware of this snag until a former , elderly and wealthy resident of the establishment dies , bequeathing him the princely sum of \u00a310 , 000 in her will . long dreaming of escaping to the warm climes of the south of france from wet 1950s london , darling attempts to hand in his notice and is outraged when the manager points out that he cannot .\nsorry i too am unable to find the film or title most are looking for , black and white for sure . saw it as a kid and like the ghosts i too have been waiting ever since , best film ever .\ni was reminded of the existence of ' no secrets ' , a total turkey which inexplicably teams oliver reed , peter cushing and keenan wynn .\ni too have been trying to find this film for years - and am still confused ! i agree entirely with those that say there were no survivors , and particularly with what ray mitcham says - that is spot on . thing is i think the title was flight of the phoenix , but obviously not the film with jimmy stewart in , maybe a made for tv film with the same name ? but also - not an episode of anything , it was a full length flm . so - anyone out there know about the film ray and i are talking about !\nwow ! can ' t believe i ' ve found this thread , i ' ve wondered about this film for years . there are definitely two different films being discussed here , mind you , and the original answer to the question posed is not sole survivor . i can remember watching this film and i can also remember what it ' s called . there is a very good reason why no one can find it in any database and that ' s because it shares the name of a very famous film which will dominate any internet search results . the film is called catch 22 , not to be confused by the famous 1970 film of the same name . saw it listed sometime back so settled down to watch . of course it was the 1970 film i was watching . disappointment . hope this helps .\nthanks for all the information that has appeared here . i have also been trying to retrieve a copy of the film , and if memory serves , the title was\nsoul survivor\n, not\nsole survivor\n. this would also make more sense in light of the survival of the souls but not the actual flesh and blood crew members .\ni remember seeing a movie late one night many years ago where the crew of a ww2 american bomber are hanging around the wreck of their aircraft in the desert . every time they try to leave they always end up back at the wreck . i seem to remember too that they were very fastidious about where they left their equipment . i must have asked a hundred people if they remember the film , but no luck . this has been the only place where people have described the story the way i remember it . the film sounds like\nsole survivor\n1969 tv movie staring william shatner which used the wreck of a b25 - j mitchell bomber . i hope this is the same film your thinking of . is it available on video anywhere ?\nit ' s called sole survivor . . i remembered it as a kid . you can watch the film in its entirety at urltoken urltoken\nthere is a scene in which oskar ' s drum so confuses a nazi marching band that it switches from a nazi hymn to\nthe blue danube .\nthe crashing obviousness of this scene aside , i must confess that the symbolism of the drum failed to involve me .\nthe movie i ' m trying to find the name of is airliner crashes at airport and the pilot walks away from the crash in a daze . then end of the movie he is found strapped in his seat in the cockpit .\nit is sole survivor . i saw it once as a child and it stuck in my mind . the whole film is online here : urltoken\noh how disappointing , i was hoping there would be an answer for me here . i too remember watching this film as a child in the 1970 ' s an have been trying to find it for years . i ' ve seen sole survivor and flight of the phoenix . it is most certainly neither of these . the film i ' m looking for was black & white and the airmen did not know they were dead . that ' s the big twist at the end . i ' m fairly sure it was a feature film too , not an episode of twilight zone . it was shown on a weekend afternoon . i hope someone can get to the bottom of this one !\ni agree with the men not knowing that they are dead and remember the film as . so g in b & w ; for most of it and only being in colour at the end when the rescuers arrive and i think john wayne ' s son was in it . i so have been trying to find out the name of this film for years\nthe movie invites us to see the world through the eyes of little oskar , who on his third birthday refuses to do any more growing up because the world is such a cruel place . my problem is that i kept seeing oskar not as a symbol of courage but as an unsavory brat ; the film ' s foreground obscured its larger meaning .\nhow frustrating ! i was hoping by the time i had got to the end of the discussion that the film would have been found . i told my daughter that she must watch ' flight of the pheonix ' as i thought that it was this film , and i was so disappointed that it was the wrong film . i remember that they crashed because they thought the heat from the dessert sand was the sea , and they were trying to crash into the sea . and i remember the twist at the end being so good as i didn ' t have a clue that they were really all dead until the army came to clear the wreckage and they were invisible ghosts ! i would love to see this film again . . . has been a long time .\na sewage farm . in what way is it a farm ? is there a farm shop ?\n- jack dee\ni have just watched ' sole survivor ' on google videos and after only a few minutes realised it was crap and definitely not the film i remember . the film that was so good we were all moved by , began with the plane flying over what they think is the sea but is the rolling sands of the desert . they think they can jump out with a lifeboat . they do not know they are dead right to the end of the film , which is what makes it so good and definitely not like the weak ' sole survivor ' plot . i think it is ' flight of the ? ' because i was surprised when i discovered it wasn ' t ' flight of the phoenix ' as an adult . please stop telling those of us who have seen this amazing film , that it is sole survivor . it definitely isn ' t ! ! ! !\nthe responders with\nthe sole survivor\nas a cbs 1970 tv movie are correct . but there is a play on words in the title that nobody hit upon yet , although malcolm is close . while the cowardly navigator ( richard baseheart , in a post - voyage to the bottom of the sea role ) was the sole survivor of the downed bomber , the movie did , in fact , end with all but one of the crew - ghosts recovered ( disappeared ) . the movie did close with a scene of the remaining crewman playing baseball by himself - the sole\nsurvivor\namong the\nghosts .\nwilliam shatner , fresh from\nstar trek\nwas also in the film , as the investigating officer .\nwell , ive just watched ' sole survivor ' on dvd . its the one with william shatner playing an air force crash investigator . in this film it is clear that the crew know they are ghosts right at the start , and that its been seventeen years since the crash . the film i remember has the whole crew ( no survivors ) believing that they are still alive . it doesn ' t come to light that they are all dead until right at the end of the film when a helicopter turns up at the crash site and freaks the crew out ( no helicopters in general service at the time of the crash ) and the helicopter crew cant see the ( dead ) crewmen . there is a scene in sole survivor with a helicopter but this is half way into the film , long after the plane wreck has been found , and not the initial discovery .\ni am looking at the box of ' sole survivor ' a made for tv movie starring william basehart , william shatner and lou antonio . the synopsis reads . . . . ' shatner delivers a credible performance as lt . col . josef gronke , the head of a team of air force investigators that fly to the site of a wreck of a b - 24 bomber that crashed in the libyan desert , stunning the world with its discovery 16 years later . ' . . . . etc . the story starts with the crew awaiting rescue , not really believing they are dead . basehart is the navigator who baled out on them during an attack by fighter planes , surviving 36 hours in the waters of the mediterranean before being picked up as the sole survivor of the crew . the film was produced by cinema center 100 productions and also stars vince edwards as the major who is determined to get to the truth , which he does in the end .\nand here we are at the central problem of the movie : should i , as a member of the audience , decide to take the drum as , say , a child ' s toy protest against the marching cadences of the german armies ? or should i allow myself to be annoyed by the child ' s obnoxious habit of banging on it whenever something ' s not to his liking ? even if i buy the wretched drum as a moral symbol , i ' m still stuck with the kid as a pious little bastard .\ni am trying to name a film but no movie databases has the answer . a plane has crashed and the cast of the film turn out to be ghosts who ' disappear ' as their bodies are recovered . in the end there is one sole ' ghost ' until the searchers return and find his body under the tail plane . have i imagined this as no one seems to know what i ' m talking about ?\nthis rings a bell with me . i ' m pretty sure it was an episode of the twilight zone , though , not a film as such . if memory serves it may even have been directed by steven spielberg . the crew of us airmen had crashed their ww2 plane when a bomb got stuck in the bomb bay . they could not die properly until their remains had been found but their ghosts were accessible though some sort of time portal . the last scene was of the final guy being discovered beneath the wrecked tail plane .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\nshot in zambia as some kind of vanity project on the part of the director , ( although i ' m convinced that there also had to be some kind of tax write off involved ) , this supposed comedy is utterly dismal . to give you some idea of how bad it is , the above clip is actually one of the\nthe film is sole survivor and is available on ebay , i saw it last night for the first time in about 25 / 30 years . i remembered it clearly , it ' s the kind of movie that stays in your mind . there might be a few different versions of this film around due to commercial breaks some footage may be missing in some versions . let ' s hope it will get a proper official dvd release one day , fully restored and with plenty of extras .\nroger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success\u2026\ntwilight zone series 2 . episode 6a . king nine will not return . drove me mad for nearly 30yrs trying to find this . i had the memory of it but not the title . i thought it was a film too .\nthis film is not sole survivor . it was a black and white film . the crew did not know they were dead . it was only when each of them was discovered that it dawned on them and they disappeared . unfortunately there appear to be 3 films that have the same sort of plot . . . . . does anyone else remember this one ? ? ? ? ? ?\ni remember the film as well and have been trying to find the answer for years ( with no luck ) . a few more details of the film that i remember was that the crews ' only entertainment was with a baseball and glove which one of them had . i seem to remember that all the crews ' bodies were found except the captain ' s ( his body was under the plane ) leaving him ( his spirit ) all alone at the wreck . did not the film end with him playing with glove and ball on his own ? please , someone , for my sanity ' s sake , come up with the right answer ( it is not ' sole survivor ' ) .\nactually , i don ' t think little oskar is at all innocent in this film ; a malevolence seems to burn from his eyes , and he ' s compromised in his rejection of the world ' s evil by his own behavior as the most spiteful , egocentric , cold and calculating character in the film ( all right : except for adolf hitler ) .\nthis film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what\u2019s now showing\ni think the film you ' re thinking of is\nsole survivor\n. the plane was an american bomber which crashed in the desert . the crew spend their days playing baseball , not realising they ' re dead , until many years later a recovery crew locates their bodies .\nit is not ' sole survivor ' . william shatner was not in it . it was filmed in b & w . ; it was not an episode of the twilight zone . please , can anyone remember the name of the b & w ; version , and stop telling us we watched shatner in a colour version ? there is obviously more than one version of this film , and i am not after ' sole survivor ' . the ' survivors ' did not know they were ghosts until they started to realise that they could not leave the area of the crashed plane . they did play with a baseball . at the very end of the film one ghost was left alone in the desert as his body was never recovered . please help ? !\nthere are more than one sole survivor movie . the film discussed here - - a b - 25 crashed in the desert during wwii with the ghosts of the crew trapped near the plane - - is definitely one of them . i worked on the movie which was directed by my friend and mentor paul stanley and featured vince edwards , richard baseheart and william shattner . it was a great experience spending a month in the desert on the el mirage dry lake bed . see : urltoken this was the first of a series of tv movies made by cbs referred to as cc100s ( cinema center / 100 minutes ) . as far as i know , it has not been released on dvd .\nthis intriguing film is called\nsole survivor\n, and was a tv movie made in 1970 , directed by paul stanley and starring william shatner . this film had\nhaunted\nme for years until i finally tracked the title down after many , many lengthy internet searches . on at least two occasions when talking about films in the pub , someone has asked\nanyone remember that film where there ' s a crashed bomber and a crew that don ' t know there dead ?\nfor many years i have searched for the title of this film as i remember watching it as a young child so it definitely left an impression on me . all i can remember is there were no survivors , it was set in ww 1 or ww 2 and was a full length movie not part of a tv series . . i cannot remember william shatner in it and i think i would have as i was a star trek fan . it was not flight of the phoenix as they survived and soul survivor indicates there was a survivor . . they played baseball to pass the time until they were rescued . it was only , many years later , one by one , when their bones were found that the men started to disappear . i remember at the end of the film there is one man playing baseball with glove and ball in hand . his body i think was never going to be found for some reason , but it is only at the end of the film that they all realise they are dead . i think maybe it has the name of the plane in the title . .\nequally shocked and outraged , bill seeks out his old chums with a plan . he ' s not spent all of the inheritance , and there ' s just about enough left to buy the hotel ' s lease - now all they must do is convince a trio of northern investors to back them with the last of the funds they require .\ni started trying to find the name of this film after seeing\nking 9 will not return\nlast night on netflix and remembered how much i enjoyed the ghost story of the bomber crew . i watched sole survivor and it is definitely not the film . another reason i know it is not , is that i saw the film in the 1960 ' s while still living at home before going off to college in 1968 . sole survivor was made in 1970 . maybe the reason it is so hard to find , is that it wasn ' t a movie . king 9 was a 30 minute ( 22 actual minutes ) tv episode . sole survivor 1 : 36 minute movie . what i remember of the film , is that it probably was a one hour tv episode . perhaps of amaing stories , scifi theatre , outer limites or some such tv series . i hope someone comes up with the one so many of us want to find . the unknowing ghosts that disappear one by one as their remains are found till only one remains .\ni am trying to name a film but no movie databases has the answer . a plane has crashed and the cast of the film turn out to be ghosts who ' ' disappear ' ' as their bodies are recovered . in the end there is one sole ' ' ghost ' ' until the searchers return and find his body under the tail plane . have i imagined this as no one seems to know what i ' ' m talking about ? | notes and queries | urltoken\ndear me ! i wish any future contributors would have a very good read of the above comments before they say anything else .\nhi everyone . i watched the flight of the phoenix recently all the way to the end hoping it was the film i remembered - waiting for the twist ! course it didn ' t happen . the description of sole / soul survivor just don ' t seem to fit in with the fact no - one was alive and the twist definitely came right at the end . i just wish i could see it again . . .\nborgnine was not , i repeat not a flight engineer in flight of the phoenix . the movie i asked about is based on the true incident which took place in the everglades in the early 1970s . i believe it also had kim basinger as a stewardess who survived the crash .\nsole survivor is indeed the film in question , although you might not recognise it from its description in most databases . they tend to emphasise the come - uppance of the now senior aviator who was responsible for the crash , rather than the more interesting supernatural aspect that everyone actually remembers the film for . any similarity to the twilight zone episode is probably down to the fact rod serling also wrote sole survivor . it ' s likely that he drew inspiration from the discovery of the crashed wwii us bomber ' lady be good ' in the libyan desert during the late ' 50 ' s .\nthe movie juxtaposes oskar ' s one - man protest with the horror of world war ii . but i am not sure what the juxtaposition means . did i miss everything ? i ' ve obviously taken the story on a literal level , but i don ' t think that means i misread the film as it stands .\nthank you one and all ! i ' ve been trying to remember the name of this film for 20 years ! have now checked ' sole survivor ' on imdb and it is the right title . excellent !\nit is not sole survivor . i remember it on tv in the late 70s , and we had a colour tv , it was black and white and the crew did not know that they were dead . i remember it being a class film , but don ' t remember the name , ghost bomber rings a bell .\nnot looking good - reply to query to the american film institute : thank you for your interest in afi . we are sorry to report that we have been unable to identify the film you described . to continue your quest , you might wish to contact the following organizations with your question : library of congress motion picture and television reading room : urltoken academy of motion picture arts and sciences margaret herrick library : urltoken the reference librarians at these organizations may be able to direct you to the film you seek . we wish you success in your search . best , the afi staff\nthe film i ' m looking for is definitely a black and white film . i have been looking for this film for years . the characters did not know they were dead . i remember my my mum jumping up saying\nthey ' re ghosts !\nalthough a lot seems similar to sole survivor , it ' s not quite right . i think there must be 3 films that we remember . i remember that someone walked away from the plane only to find themselves back where they started . i also remember they disappeared as they were found . for years i thought it was flight of the phoenix . but having watched it recently is a very different film . i ' m sure it ' s\nflight\nsomething though .\nyep , almost certain you are talking about ' sole survivor ' . a great film - and i even have a copy on vhs ! can ' t track it down anywhere else as i ' d like a ' restored ' version if possible , ah well .\nan interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,\nsorry to bother you .\ni saw this movie . . . i ' m also trying to figure out the name . it streams instantly on netflix , and i can ' t remember the title , but thought the ending of lost was a rip off of the plot , lol . they have a support group of the survivors and each one disappears ( evidently as their issues are resolved ) and the psychologist leading the group is the last to figure out she ' s dead too .\nthe film has been adapted by the west german filmmaker volker schlondorff from the 1959 novel by gunter grass , who helped with the screenplay . it chronicles the career of little oskar , who narrates his own life story starting with his mother ' s conception in a potato patch . oskar is born into a world divided : in the years after world war i , both germans and poles live in the state of danzig , where they get along about as well as catholics and protestants in belfast .\n1956 british comedy film about a hotel porter who comes into money . stars frankie howerd , ruby murray , dennis price , dorothy bromley , katherine kath and others .\ni can ' t believe so many other people are trying to find the name of this film . i watched this on tv about 25years ago and have always remembered it and tried to find out what it was called . it definitely wasn ' t flight of the phoenix because it is on tv at this very minute and it has prompted me to start looking again . the description of sole survivor sounds similar but i was sure that the film i saw was black and white . i definitely remember the navigator surviving because he had told the crew to bail out over the sea but in fact it was the desert and the crew haunted him when they realised they were dead . maybe there are two versions of this film , the colour one and also the older b / w one , would love to know for sure .\ni started thinking about this film after visiting a ww2 aircraft crash site in the far north of scotland ( near gairloch ) . it is a war grave , and there is still debris from the plan scattered over the hillside and the loch . but back to the film . this is what i remember . it is black and white . the crew do not know that they are dead . as their bodies are discovered , they\nvanish\n. they do play baseball , and the guy with the mitt and ball does not get found . i don ' t think it was called\nsole surviver\n, i think the title was longer and might have had the name of the plane .\nwell , having posted this query . . . and not having seen sole survivor ( or not ) i would like to thank all those looking in and who have answered my query but i still think that the answer is buried under the plane . what is driving me mad now is that i also believe it is referred to in another film , mid 80 ' s possibly , where someone says , when seeing a movie on black and white tv , ' hey , i remember this . . . the guy is buried under the tail of the plane . ' so is this a case where the film is actually sole survivor , but the on - screen reference has sown a seed that is making us all think we have seen the film . . . but with a different ending ?\ni can confirm the film is not sole / soul survivor . the original black and white film was shown in the uk pre 1968 and followed a different plot to sole survivour . the b52 and crew crash land in the desert , try to walk away but always return , try to fix the plane , then start to disappear slowly . eventualy the remaining crew think they are rescued . however the rescue party find the remaining bodies and bury the surviours - who all disappear . it is not sole survior\nincredible ! i ' ve been thinking about this film since i was a kid ( i ' m 35 now ) . i think i only caught the end of the movie and it left such an impression on me i vowed to watch the whole film one day . every now and then it would pop into my head and i would think i must try to find the name of it sometime . so , tonight finally i type in a long - shot search into google and stumble across this thread ! i can ' t believe it ! i so agree with many of you who thought this film was a figment of their imagination . what was it about this film that hooked us so much - i mean , i was a little girl , my main joy was my cindy dolls , ballet and ponies - why would a movie about war , airplanes & dead pilots leave such an impression ? ! anyway , after reading all your posts i ' ve just been on ebay and bought a copy of sole survivor . i don\u0092t know if it ' s going to be the one i remember , but i ' ll let you know when i ' ve received it and watched it - fingers crossed .\neverybody please stop trying to guess the movie if : you think it is in color or you think that william shatner is in it , because neither of those things is true . it is a black and white film , and the crew of the crashed plane don ' t ever stray very far from it , nor do i remember seeing any other characters aside from them . i also remember a harmonica being in the mix . it was a slow paced film from what i can recall . i ' m glad i ' m not alone in this , but sad we can not figure it out ! doug\nonce again , i have to disagree with both eric and steve . this is not the movie we are talking about . the film , which we are trying to trace has no survivors . the final survivor out of the crew of ghosts , appears to have been left by the\nrescuers\nbut as they drive away after apparently finding no trace of him , they find his body several miles away . this enable his\nghost\nto disappear the same way as all the others . i say again in the film we are trying to trace there are no survivors at all . all the ghosts are released from their limbo .\nif we come in armed with the grass novel and a sheaf of reviews , it ' s maybe just possible to discipline ourselves to read\nthe tin drum\nas a solemn allegorical statement . but if we take the chance of just watching what ' s on the screen , schlondorff never makes the connection . we ' re stuck with this cretinous little kid , just when europe has enough troubles of its own .\nlets just make one thing clear the film is not soul / survivor , i watched this film for which we all seek on a colour tv in either 1977 - 78 , this film was black and white end off . i remember the brilliant twist at the end and i ' ve never forgotten it , i remember one of them saying its all going dark as 1 by 1 they where found and put into body bags with 1 left behind under the tail end of the plane and i ' m sure he shouts look under the tail but obviously no - one can hear him and the crash team leave and he is left with this baseball bat and ball . it ' s haunted me for over 33 years this film and its not the bloody twilight zone either , i ' ve searched everywhere for it but seems to have vanished !\nanother voice here confirming that sole survivor is not the film that many of us are seeking . i ordered that and watched it this afternoon , and , good as it is , it isn ' t the film in which the characters gradually realise they are dead as their bodies are found . the two films are so similar , though , it ' s seems likely that they are based on the same root story .\nno answer , but it isn ' t sole survivor . i saw it many years ago but we had a color tv and it was black and white and not a tv episode but a full feature film . hope someone comes up with it because i loved the movie and would love to own it .\nthanks , ray . the film definitely has no survivors and nothing to do with a navigation error - it definitely has baseball in it and there are no survivors at the end , all the ghosts are laid to rest . please keep insisting !\nof the film . reed affects a poor american accent in his role as a bumbling us marine , ( i ' m guessing that the director would have liked to describe the character as ' clouseau - esque ' - in his dreams ) , sent to an african dictatorship to recover a crashed us satellite . he has lots of ' hilarious ' encounters with various ' wacky ' characters , played by the aforementioned actors , taking time off from their paid holiday in zambia . the ' special ' effects are anything but - the budget was clearly miniscule , the script dreadful and the direction abysmal . really ,\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nthanks for your reply paul kennedy . i am not saying that you are not right , but i just want to find this film . like so many others , i have remembered watching it as a child and it never left me . some time ago i bought sole survivor and it didn ' t seem to be quite the film i remembered . as children though , i doubt that we would really know film titles . i find it hard to believe that a film can be made such as the catch 22 which you mention , and there not be one mention of it on the whole internet . so far , in my humble opinion , the most likely explanations are that we simply remember the film a little differently from so long ago , or there is actually another edit as someone has said . every version of sole survivor i have seen ( aside from the one i saw on tv as a child ) has been the u . s . version it seems . could there be a european / uk edit ? someone has mentioned on here that they have seen two versions . i have spent some time looking for catch 22 , and variants on that title , but nothing yet .\nallegories have trouble standing for something else if they are too convincing as themselves . that is the difficulty with\nthe tin drum ,\nwhich is either ( a ) an allegory about one person ' s protest against the inhumanity of the world , or ( b ) the story of an obnoxious little boy .\ni remember this film , but like so many others , do not know the name of it . i know it is not sole survivor or any other mentioned so far . this film was black and white and made in the 1960s . the story line was 6 crew members that played baseball around a crashed wwii bomber . they couldn ' t go very far away from the plane though and had to always return to it . they did not know they were dead . that was the twist , and the viewer never knew they were dead either . one by one the crew disappeared as each body was discovered until the last one was discovered under the tail of the plane ."]}

made for a film scenario with the major change being a happy ending to the thwarted central romance . the plot involves the arrest and imprisonment of an innocent sailor for alleged bonapartist scheming . languishing in the infamous island prison of chateau d ' if , edmond dantes barely clings to life but holds on to hope , driven by his thirst to get even with those who set him up . one day , hearing a tapping on his cell wall , he begins to dig with a spoon until he breaks through and discovers another prisoner , a saintly cleric who imparts to dantes information about a hidden treasure on the island of monte cristo . the two begin to dig a tunnel together , and when the other prisoner dies , dantes takes his place in the body bag . struggling free after being thrown into the sea , he makes his escape and sets about to find the treasure and execute his elaborate revenge plot .\nalexandre dumas ' s 1845 novel about the betrayal , imprisonment , and eventual triumph of edmond dantes is one of world literature ' s most famous stories of dogged revenge . there have been many productions over the years , in the u . s . and other countries , but most critics cite the 1934 version of\n. the picture was a critical and commercial success , named one of the ten best of the year , and big offers quickly came to the 29 - year - old actor . yet donat ' s distaste for the hollywood scene and the debilitating asthma that plagued him all his life led him to turn down the highly touted lead in the seafaring adventure story\nother early feature - length films of the silent era available on home video .\nedmond dantes , a young sailor in the service of the pharaoh , prior to a long voyage , takes leave of his invalid father and his sweetheart , mercedes . the tender farewell with mercedes arouses the jealous hatred of fernand , a catalan fisherman , secretly in love with mercedes . dantes gives mercedes a brooch ( which later again figures in the story ) and sails away . in mid - sea the captain of the pharaoh suddenly dies and entrusts dantes with a private letter from general murat to the exiled emperor , napoleon bonaparte , at elba . danglars , the supercargo , overhears the captain ' s dying request , and keeps the knowledge in the event of future need . when the vessel reaches elba , dantes delivers the letter to the deposed emperor , and promises to deliver napoleon ' s reply to noirtier , of the bonaparte committee . in dantes ' absence fernand urges his hopeless suit of mercedes . on the return of the pharaoh , morell , its owner , makes dantes captain of the vessel , a post which danglars had hoped to secure . . .\nduring the great depression , the company fell on hard times and many failed attempts were made to get rid of zukor . paramount - publix went bankrupt in 1933 , and was reorganized as paramount pictures , inc . he was then forced out as part of the reorganization , but after barney balaban became paramount president in 1936 , he appointed zukor chairman of the board . they served together 28 years , until balaban was forced out of paramount in 1964 , after the failure of the big - budgeted the fall of the roman empire ( 1964 ) . [ 8 ]\nsoon afterward , zukor learned of a french producer , louis mercanton , who wanted to make a four - reel movie starring the famous french actress sarah bernhardt , in her successful play queen elizabeth . mercanton ' s project was being delayed for lack of funds . zukor advanced mercanton $ 40 , 000 to secure the north american rights to the movie . it was the first test of his theory that american audiences sit through a film of this length .\nperhaps no weapon in america\u2019s media arsenal has proven as lasting as the hollywood movie . what began as a low - grade form of entertainment , a somewhat disreputable venture at the turn of the nineteenth century became the most powerful international tool of american cultural power . zukor was a pioneer in creating one of america ' s most enduring cultural legacies .\npart one . the first reel opens with the departure of the ship pharaon from marseilles , with dantes and danglars , the man who later incomes his deadly rival , as supercargo . during the voyage . . . see full summary \u00bb\nzukor orchestrated another major change in movie industry practice . it was not enough that the hollywood companies simply control all the movie stars and studios . their long - run economic security depended on the construction and maintenance of networks for national and international distribution . once a feature film was made , the majority of its cost had been accumulated . it then cost relatively little to market it throughout the world . if somehow the producer could expand the territory to include greater and greater world markets , the additional revenues overwhelmed any extra costs .\nby the mid - point of 1921 , he owned 300 theaters . four years later , he merged his theaters with balaban and katz , the most innovative theater chain in the united states . in 1927 , they dropped the name famous players - lasky and renamed the enterprise paramount , which up to then had been the name of his distribution arm . the theaters were called the paramount - publix theater chain .\n( 2005 ) , the title character claims it as his favorite movie , proving the enduring appeal not only of dumas ' s story but of the revenge motive as a driving force in literature . . . and life .\nthis late french silent tells the famous alexandre dumas tale . filmed at many of the actual locations mentioned in the novel it also includes captivating french impressionist techniques . 40 minutes\nthis early example of\nfamous players in famous plays\n- - the best known is bernhardt in queen elizabeth - - is interesting on several counts , and fails on other counts . james o ' neill , now barely remembered for being eugene o ' neill ' s father , was a well - known actor , famous for playing the count on stage for many years . he comes off as a fairly florid young man , within the realm of believability . however , other actors are clearly playing for the balcony . another problem is the short length of the movie : an hour in 1912 was an enormously long production , but it leaves out so much of dumas ' book that it can only hit the highlights if it is to maintain continuity . fortunately , by and large , it does , thanks in large part to edison veterans edwin s . porter and joseph a . golden . doubtless this must have been an exciting production in 1913 and an important step towards legitimizing films as an artistic medium . today it largely is of historic interest .\nthe early stars of their films were drawn from the stage , but soon zukor realized that he would have to create his own stars .\nnew world encyclopedia writers and editors rewrote and completed the wikipedia article in accordance with new world encyclopedia standards . this article abides by terms of the creative commons cc - by - sa 3 . 0 license ( cc - by - sa ) , which may be used and disseminated with proper attribution . credit is due under the terms of this license that can reference both the new world encyclopedia contributors and the selfless volunteer contributors of the wikimedia foundation . to cite this article click here for a list of acceptable citing formats . the history of earlier contributions by wikipedians is accessible to researchers here :\nwe would love to hear what you think . use the feedback button at the bottom right corner of any page to send us your thoughts .\nthey did give it a happy ending , but i still like the 2002 film . it ' s classy , the acting is good , and the important themes are present . i think the only thing that put me off was guy pearce ' s wig .

' beyond aids , ' says co - director peter friedman , ' there ' s a whole set of other issues the film deals with about gay relationships being . . . made invisible by society ' - latimes\nthen , in 1993 , i was on the sundance documentary jury and we screened silverlake life : the view from here . filmmaker tom joslin began to shoot the camcorder diary when he and his partner , mark massi , were diagnosed with hiv . when tom got too sick , mark took up the camera . in the end , one of tom ' s former students , peter friedman , completed the film . a portrait of enduring romance and impending death , silverlake life blew me away . it showed me what it means to be married , and the meaning of what we do as documentarians .\ndavid ehrenstein is the film critic for the advocate and the author of\nthe scorsese picture : the art & life of martin scorsese .\ntoday , my own teenage son recognizes homophobia when he sees it . there has been a tremendous cultural shift since i was his age , fueled by the lgbt movement and brought to life by films like silverlake life .\nthe continuing political significance of silverlake life is brought into clearer focus in the new\nepilogue\nby friedman and elaine mayes included on the docurama dvd . another friend of joslin and massi , mayes recorded footage of mark ' s decline after tom ' s death , which is where the original version ends . it ' s fitting that mark ' s own life , death , and the loss of his lover are here given the sort of attention afforded tom ' s experiences .\nthe happy fits take inspiration from alabama shakes on\ngrow back\nand transform it into an unforgettable pop song .\nthe result is a glory of documentary - making and an important addition to the defiant stockpile of aids - inspired art being created in these modern plague years : silverlake life : the view from here is intimate and dry - eyed , charming and powerful , idiosyncratic and wrenching . it\u2019s also , at times , blessedly comic and light . the grace of the film , which won the grand jury prize at this year\u2019s sundance film festival , is in its ability to mix dying with living - deftly , wittily , superbly - so that we come to know these men as full in - dividuals , and come to honor their 22 years together , mourn their loss , and give thanks for this legacy . all of which probably sounds dangerously high - falutin . but don\u2019t be frightened . the fact is , in silverlake life nothing human is alienating . a +\non 28 july of this year , the centers for disease control released new data that show a 2 . 2 percent increase in aids cases in the united states in 2002 . while this translates to only a little over 1 , 000 new cases , the social and political significance is huge . it ' s the first time since 1993 that aids cases have seen a significant increase , and suggests that many of our attempts to\nmanage\nthe disease ( through safer - sex education , for example ) may be failing . in the context of this resurgence , silverlake life : the view from here takes on added importance , as the film reminds us not only of the disease ' s personal effects , but also , the many other , ongoing costs of aids in america and around the world .\nsilverlake life was named\none of the 10 best films of the year\nby the los angeles times , usa today and the boston globe , and\none of the best films of the decade\nby utne reader and the village voice . the film is one of 15 films in the pov 20th anniversary collection , a dvd set produced in partnership with docurama and available at urltoken and urltoken .\njoslin was friedman ' s co - director on the project - - a fact that sets\nsilverlake life\napart from any film or video about aids made to date . for at the climax of the documentary , joslin dies . on screen . this event was not only anticipated by joslin , but was intentionally woven by him - - with the help of his lover and co - cinematographer massi - - into the fabric of the film .\nsilverlake life also taught me a thing or two about filmmaking . for one thing , even in the grimmest of situations , there is joy and humor . in one of the film ' s final scenes , mark makes a mess as he transfers his partner ' s ashes to an urn :\ntom , you ' re all over the place !\nsilverlake life took me inside tom and mark ' s lives and most intimate moments . that is documentary ' s transformative power .\ntied with children of fate : life and death in a sicilian family ( 1993 ) .\nat the same time , silverlake life isn ' t overly sentimental . what we can never forget is they are both dying . we watch tom at the doctor ' s office , getting cat scans , listing off his herbal and pharmaceutical drug regime , and we see their bodies always in decline . joslin and friedman never shy away from showing the physical toll of aids . and in this , the film launches its most direct social and political challenge .\nand so , in reflecting on my own work , racial diversity on - and off - screen means a lot more to me than proportionate numbers . i ' ve seen how films from the inside can change consciousness , and move history . silverlake life was not only my role model for marriage , it went a long way in teaching me how to be human .\na documentary about two gay men as they live through their last months of life with aids .\na close friend of joslin ' s , friedman is keenly aware of the precedents the film shatters , and the objections it is sure to raise from many viewers . still , the 35 - year - old filmmaker believes that the risks the film takes are both appropriate and necessary in the raising of public consciousness of aids as the epidemic enters its second decade with no end in sight .\nthe story of two coalitions - - act up and tag ( treatment action group ) - - whose activism and innovation turned aids from a death sentence into a manageable condition .\nwinner of the grand jury prize and the freedom of expression award at the 1993 sundance film festival , silverlake life had its national broadcast premiere on pbs ' s pov series on june 15 , 1993 , and was broadcast the same night in france and germany . the film drove home the devastation of aids to millions of viewers with no direct experience of the epidemic . while looking unflinchingly at death , this day - to - day video diary also makes it clear that life and hope go on .\nno one who sees [ the film ] through to its unexpectedly buoyant final scene will regret the time spent or be unchanged by the experience ,\nsaid los angeles times critic kenneth turan .\nsitting in a west hollywood cafe , speaking of the film with a mixture of professional pride and personal grief , friedman is well aware of the fact that the people he most wants to see\nsilverlake life\n- - those still indifferent to aids - - are going to be the toughest sell . he also knows that many of those at the epicenter of the epidemic may want to pass on it as well . still , friedman is not ready to write off any potential viewer .\n' silverlake life ' involves two things this society tries to keep out of view - - death and homosexuality ,\nhe says .\ni really don ' t know what can be done about that resistance except to fight it by being honest . there ' s so little honesty in this society when it comes to aids . on one level , there ' s been this almost obsessive talking about it . but all that talk is about fear . people want to keep the disease at arm ' s length . this film tries to break that down . this is a film about ordinary life . it shows what people have to go through on a daily basis with their illness - - going to the store , visiting the doctor , dealing with their parents , trying to keep their relationships going .\nsilverlake life details the quotidian difficulties of living with a disease that wastes you away from within . we are privy to how even the most mundane tasks are made nearly insurmountable by the ravages and exhaustion brought on by aids . at one point , tom films himself resting in the back of the couple ' s car while mark runs their errands . he ' s mightily pissed off at mark , who ' s been promising to take him home , but keeps making just one more stop . while tom is obviously agitated , it ' s also clear that he ' s primarily frustrated by his increasing physical limitations and the ever - present specter of his own death , and that he ' s displacing these fears into anger at mark .\nboxer joe pendleton dies 50 years too soon due to a heavenly mistake , and is given a new life as a millionaire playboy .\nyou know ,\nfreidman continues ,\nsundance was great , but i found it strange that the description of the film in the festival catalogue didn ' t mention the fact that tom and mark were lovers for over 20 years . they were just described as being ' two men . ' that misses the whole point of the film really , because ' silverlake life ' is a love story . beyond aids , there ' s a whole set of other issues the film deals with about gay relationships being unrecognized - - made invisible by society . that ' s one of the things tom and mark were fighting all their lives .\nset in the heart of los angeles ' silverlake neighborhood , the film follows joslin and massi through their daily triumphs and sorrows , struggling valiantly to comfort and care for each other as even the simplest activities become excruciatingly difficult . everyday chores , medical treatments and even a stroll in the park require what joslin jokingly calls\na brave effort of physical dynamism .\nbut silverlake life isn ' t an angry film . it ' s actually a traditional romance , though a tragic one . throughout , we get a sense of the pair ' s deep love ( in one scene , before turning off the lights for the night , joslin films the couple ' s goodnight ritual , as mark gently covers tom ' s face with kisses , saving his lips for last ; tom smiles , looks directly into the camera and says ,\ni bet you don ' t get goodnight kisses like that\n) and their 22 - year history together . this is suggested in excerpts from joslin ' s 1977 pbs documentary black star : autobiography of a close friend , chronicling tom ' s coming out to his family , their meeting mark for the first time , and their perceptions of the men ' s relationship .\nalthough the aids crisis has been examined with varying degrees of success in films , television shows , plays , dance , paintings and even symphonies , it is safe to say that it has never been regarded with the up - close intensity of this slice of hiv - positive life . shot on video ( and later transferred to film ) in a first - person diary style ,\nsilverlake life\nrecords the everyday struggles of lovers tom joslin and mark massi to keep body and soul together as long as they can , in a filmmaking style that conveys a gut - level intimacy that somehow avoids mere exhibitionism .\naccording to the centers for disease control statistics , 1993 marked the high point of number of aids cases in the united states ( 80 , 010 ) . it is hardly surprising , thinking back on the impact aids was having on u . s . culture and the controversies surrounding the epidemic , that 1993 was also something of a banner year for aids - related film . philadelphia and and the band played on were among the films released .\nthe\nepilogue\nalso , importantly , reminds us that the aids epidemic is far from over . it ' s a much needed wake - up call for the u . s . , where many can afford the pricey drugs necessary to slow the disease , and who like to think that aids mostly happens somewhere else , like africa or southeast asia . addressing an imagined\nwhy the ' epilogue '\nquestion , friedman and mayes assert that aids still affects their own and their friends ' lives . aids remains a global epidemic that is complicated by intellectual property laws and transnational pharmaceutical company money - grubbing .\nshortly after he and his lover mark massi were diagnosed with full - blown aids , filmmaker tom joslin began a film and video diary of their experiences , including their inevitable ( at the time ) decline from the disease . after joslin ' s death , longtime friend and former film student peter friedman was bequeathed the task of completing tom ' s project . friedman edited down hundreds of hours of footage into a tight , pointed , and immensely affecting 100 - minute documentary .\nwhen mark massi developed full - blown aids in 1989 , filmmaker tom joslin set out to document his lover\u2019s illness in a video diary . ( joslin had already produced the documentary blackstar : autobiography of a close friend in 1976 , about his homosexuality , in which massi appeared . ) then joslin , too , became sick and the diary expanded to record the inexorably ebbing lives of both men - lives in which a walk in the park near their home in los angeles\u2019 silver lake neighborhood or a trip to the market sapped their energy but not their love for each other . as joslin failed faster , massi took up the filming , recording the details - the feeding , the affectionate chats , the wasting flesh , the last visits from friends and family . he filmed clear through joslin\u2019s death ( in 1990 ) and cremation and memorial . then , as massi weakened ( he died in 1991 ) , peter friedman , a former filmmaking student of joslin\u2019s , inherited the project to shoot , edit , and complete . joslin and massi were both 43 years old when they died .\nthe experimental documentary is about the early years of joslin and massi ' s relationship and deals with joslin coming out to his family .\nlee mcintyre ' s ' post - truth ' is a history lesson and a call to action asking liberals to defend the concept of objective truth . but is it the best approach to the problem ?\nall products featured were editorially selected . urltoken may receive a percentage of sales for items purchased from these links . \u00a9 2018 meredith corporation all rights reserved . use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms of use and privacy policy ( your california privacy rights ) . | eu data subject requests\nthe clincher was a scene toward the end of tom ' s life . we hear mark\u2014the unwavering caregiver who is also in decline\u2014in tears off camera as he films , berating himself for giving tom food that he could not keep down . i always perceived the vows ,\nin sickness and in health ,\nto be knee - jerk and saccharine , most likely a guise for wives serving their husbands . but tom and mark ' s relationship embodied those vows in a profound and devastating way .\njoslin , a filmmaker and instructor at the university of southern california , had turned the camera on himself and his family in the past . thus friedman , his former student , was not surprised that a super vhs camcorder had become an observant fixture in the joslin / massi household .\nxolani , a lonely factory worker , travels to the rural mountains with the men of his community to initiate a group of teenage boys into manhood .\nextraordinarily moving . . . no one who sees it through to its unexpectedly buoyant final scene will regret the time spent or be unchanged by the experience .\nblack salvation is a band that works the psychedelia into the hard rock with skill , and it makes for a very listenable album in uncertainty is bliss .\ni met tom in 1976 . he was my film teacher in my first year of college\nsays friedman , who attended hampshire college .\ni know people always say that they had one teacher in their life that really affected them . for me , that person was tom . he was the first openly gay person i ever met .\nin a culture where sexuality and pleasure are strictly regulated , and where aids is overcoded with morality and metaphor , confronting a complacent public with the physical reality of aids is a political act . tom joslin and mark massi knew this . at one point , at a resort in palm springs , we watch the couple swimming . the owner of the resort asks mark if he will keep his shirt on , as the kaposi ' s sarcoma lesions that cover his torso , front and back , are disturbing the other guests . for a few more minutes , mark sits on a ledge by the pool , and flexes his back into the sun , further highlighting the lesions . tom asks what he is doing , and mark replies ,\ni ' m being political .\nwhen peter friedman ' s friends tom joslin and mark massi died , he accepted an extraordinary inheritance : 40 hours of videotape documenting the couple ' s bout with aids . after 15 months of additional filming and editing , friedman emerged with one of the most wrenching and candid documents on love , commitment and mortality in the age of the epidemic .\nthe film captures everyday moments , drifting between memory , medical exams , a tortured family christmas and , always , the love between the two men edging out the utter sadness . there is a long take as tom films mark dancing with abandon to\ntake my heart away .\ni couldn ' t take my eyes away , as if i was looking through tom ' s lens with the contentment of a parent gazing at her newborn .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

unlike\ndistant voices , still lives\nthe spectre of the father pervades the film , making it a peculiarly anguished and lugubrious rekindling of childhood . however , in comparison to terence davies ' s earlier trilogy , filmed in penumbral monochrome and steeped in sexual and religious guilt , isolation , and fear of death , distant voices , still lives is a positive romp . at least it has music .\nsadly , most of the time distant voices is a hit parade of father ' s swiftest punches played to the hit parade that he might have been listening to on the radio .\nfor those with satellite access to artsworld the trilogy is playing this week and was preceeded by an hour long doc . about douglas . distant voices plays on december 17th . too .\nterence davies ' s stunning debut feature film distant voices , still lives was instantly recognised as a masterpiece on its release in 1988 and the director hailed as one of britain ' s most gifted and remarkable filmmakers . re - released in april 2007 as part of a complete retrospective season of terence davies ' s films at bfi southbank , it was once again showered with critical acclaim .\nas bigger than life sounds like a film to own . . . and as criterion seems to have ended their relationship with fox to some degree . . . i ' ve just ordered the bfi disc . and since davies sounds like something not to miss , i ' ve also ordered distant voices , still lives as well . i expect that two disc criterion editions will be announced in two weeks .\npart nostalgia , part nightmare , the autobiographical distant voices , still lives is writer - director terence davies ' s bittersweet look back at his working - class upbringing in postwar liverpool . while it ' s beautifully photographed , davies ' s portrait of a house divided by a near - psychotic father ( pete postlethwaite ) - - loving one moment , brutal the next - - is . . . read more\ndespite not even glimpsing davies in the film , distant voices , still lives is a tellingly autobiographical work \u2013 his following film the long day closes ( 1992 ) is much more about davies\u2019 childhood with particular emphasis placed upon the exploration and cultivation of a young boy\u2019s burgeoning cinematic consciousness . despite the obvious continuity of distant voices , still lives \u2018 two halves \u2013 though they were actually shot two years apart using very different crews \u2013 there is a subtle variation of light and tone which marks each . for example , the second part of the film ( \u201cstill lives\u201d ) is much gentler , less mournful and more dream - like : as the family starts to die ( both literally and figuratively ) it takes on different formations and enters into a different time and place ( mostly of increasing isolation , and in relation to such compartmentalising media technologies as radio ) . the ties that bind , but also the tension of the film itself , loosen as the cultural and social landscape shifts , culminating in a flood of rain and tears .\nkatie , who has bipolar disorder , describes her experience of hearing voices when she is manic or depressed .\nwyeth , p . ,\nvoices from the past ,\nin stills ( london ) , march 1986 .\nhaving now seen the bfi ' s restored print of terence davies ' distant voices , still lives at a cinema , i thought i would make a few comments that some may find helpful when the dvd appears shortly . yes , the images are rather soft . yes , the film is decidedly grainy in appearance . yes , the colours are muted . any reviewer who complains about these qualties may well be asking for something that the original film never delivered !\nthis priority towards the \u201ctruly novel musical resources\u201d sums up the music of distant voices , still lives . it is however far more complex and less of a novelty than adorno would probably give it credit for . similarly to the use of sound , the use of music in distant voices , still lives is a deliberate evocation ; an exploration into the director\u2019s own personal nostalgia for past practices and memories . the use of music can be split into two different types with one notable exception . there is no composed score for the film in a normal sense for a period drama . instead , distant voices , still lives uses a variety of sourced music and specially recorded arrangements of songs , both used equally to evoke the era and the memories . everett ( 2004 , p . 176 ) is again the main investigator of this stating : \u201chowever , autobiographical discourse , as we have seen , is about the processes of memory and does not therefore seek the closure of nostalgia , so that , even when the nostalgic potential of popular songs is exploited , this is generally done ironically and self consciously . \u201d because of a lack of distinction between whether she is discussing diegetic or nondiegetic , we will see that this is only half true . the first of these uses is found in the nondiegetic section of the soundtrack and can be described as more classically orientated both stylistically and in its use .\ni ' ll most definitely be picking up those davies films . great to see that they ' re coming so soon . . . distant voices was a real revelation . doesn ' t bfi also own bill douglas ' s films ?\nthis is the first feature film of liverpudlian terence davies , obviously autobiographical , dealing with a family called davies and their lives during the 1940s and 1950s . the film is divided into two parts : distant voices ( 45 mins ) centers on the wedding of eileen , eldest of the three davies children , and the funeral of her father , [ \u2026 ]\nterence davies wrote in the introduction to the published script for distant voices still lives ( 1988 ) that he was ' trying to create ' a pattern of timeless moments ' . ' yet that picture has a stronger dramatic line than the long day closes ( 1992 ) . in distant voices family life eddies around an immovable rock : the father ' s violence to the mother and their children . he has furies , never explained . at christmas , sat down to dinner , he suddenly pulls the cloth off the table and roars at his wife to clean up . a man can die eventually , but that sort of timeless moment lingers . violence persists , like an old smell , and can make new nostrils mad again .\nthe latest addition to the venerable bfi modern classics series is dedicated to distant voices , still lives , terence davies \u2019 elegiac debut feature . set in \u2018a world before elvis , and in a liverpool before the beatles \u2019 , this intensely autobiographical meditation on a post - war working - class child hood remains one of the finest british films of the last twenty years , and its maker one of british cinema\u2019s most original voices . davies has not made a film since the house of mirth ( 2000 ) and his treatment at the hands of uk film bodies and financiers is evidence of a shameful and almost criminal neglect .\nmore generally , it still amazes me the number of classic films that are not available on dvd . it does make me wonder why companies devote time and resources to relatively obscure dvds and books when many classics still are not available .\ndistant voices , still lives\nis aesthetically distinguished by two radical choices that set it dramatically apart from other family - memory films of the era ( john boorman \u2019s\nhope and glory\n[ 1987 ] is an excellent concurrent example in the united kingdom ; while ettore scola \u2019s\nthe family\n[ 1987 ] and barry levinson \u2019s\navalon\n[ 1990 ] make for more sentimental evocations of similar themes of generational loss from other countries , italy and the united states , respectively . )\nwith the long day closes english filmmaker terence davies completes his second autobiographical trilogy . ( faber and faber has conveniently published the screenplays of the six films \u2014 all his films to date \u2013 with an introduction by davies , under the title a modest pageant . ) i haven\u2019t seen the first trilogy \u2013 children ( 1976 ) , madonna and child ( 1980 ) , and death and transfiguration ( 1983 ) \u2014 but the first two parts of the second , shot in 1985 and 1987 and distributed as a single feature , distant voices , still lives ( 1988 ) , still strikes me as one of the greatest of all english films .\ndrawn from his own family memories , distant voices , still lives is a strikingly intimate portrait of working class life in 1940s and 1950s liverpool . focusing on the real - life experiences of his mother , sisters and brother whose lives are thwarted by their brutal , sadistic father ( a chilling performance by pete postlethwaite ) , the film shows us beauty and terror in equal measure . davies uses the traditional family gatherings of births , marriages and deaths to paint a lyrical portrait of family life - of love , grief , and the highs and lows of being human , a ' poetry of the everyday ' that is at once deeply autobiographical and universally resonant .\nif distant voices was marked by its temporal leaps , then still lives seems marked by a static lack of progression\u2014perhaps appropriately , considering its title . even though the father is dead , the memory remains , and , in davies cinema , memory is as alive , real , and affective as any present . it also plays on the titles possible double meaning , ambiguously suggesting both its pairing as an adjective - noun and adverb - verb ( their lives have stilled , because the father still lives ) . the biggest time shift features a remarkable cut from eileen and daisy tearfully watching love is a many splendored thing in the theater ( with the title track swelling ) , to tony and masie\u2019s husband falling in slow motion and crashing through glass from a top - down perspective . as is typical in the film , we only find out what this is connected to later , as both were injured in a scaffolding accident .\nthe film is a diptych . distant voices was shot in the autumn of 1985 . at that time still lives , which was shot in 1987 , had not even been written . however , the narrative is elliptical . depicting various key moments\u2014wedding , christening , illness , war\u2014in the life of a liverpool family , it jumps from tableau to tableau : there is no jarring disjunction between the two halves . if anything , the gap between them helps to give a real sense of time passing and enables characters to age convincingly .\nwhereas other films potentially could work in narrative terms without its music , distant voices , still lives is at once completely reliant on both digetetic and nondiegetic music and sound ; \u201c\u2026 music is not being used as mere background support , surreptitiously shaping our emotional responses as we concentrate on dialogue and action , but is at least as important as these in creating the film\u2019s meanings . \u201d ( everett , 2004 , p . 172 ) . the argument between these two terminologies will become increasingly complex from scene to scene as it becomes more ambiguous and debatable as to where the sound comes from . this is a brief overview of a complex drama whose relationship with sound and music is the first to truly reflect the complexity of working - class life . though it also deals with a number of similar issues to the previous films , the power of nostalgia and memory ironically allows a truth to enter into the representation of the working - class in distant voices , still lives ; an obvious irony considering that it has the longest time between its production and period setting .\nthe film is divided into two parts : distant voices ( 45 mins ) centers on the wedding of eileen , eldest of the three davies children , and the funeral of her father , events which spark memories of the past , including the frightening war years when the city was bombed frequently ; still lives ( 39 mins ) actually was filmed two years after the first part , with the same actors but with a substantially different crew . it\u2019s a seamless continuation which climaxes with the wedding of another of the clan , son tony .\nthis is one of the key features that distinguishes the film from the other two and allows a breed of nostalgia to be born . whereas before the films were made to highlight problems and issues of the very present day , distant voices , still lives is a personal journey back into the past allowing the 1988 film to be set at roughly the same era as our other examples . this explains a number of the techniques on display that will be discussed later but it is too generalising to simply state that it is the main factor .\nwhat is most surprising about terence davies ' film adaptation of lewis grassic gibbon ' s sunset song is how close the director seems to his material . the novel , published in 1932 , is the story of a sensitive young woman growing up in a rugged , rural community in the north - east of scotland just before the first world war . it is a world away from the working - class liverpool of the director ' s own childhood in the late 1940s , so movingly depicted in his autobiographical distant voices , still lives ( 1988 ) , and yet the two films sit together as companion pieces . they are both deeply felt family dramas with the same mix of lyricism and extreme brutality . they both feature abusive father - figures who terrorise their wives and children . there is plenty of music and communal singing in each of the films . the interior of the little farmhouse in which the family lives in sunset song isn ' t so different from that of the home depicted in distant voices .\nthe filmmaker actually shot the film as two deliberately contrasting halves , each made with a different crew over a two - year phase ; distant voices peeks through pale - sepia tones while still lives abounds in ominous - ethereal fades to white just as painterly stillness alternates with gliding camera movement . the title may imply the stagnation of oppressed lives , yet the picture\u2019s lasting impression is one of concentrated , purified motion , of images poetically triggering images , and , above all , of waves of feeling flowing from screen to audience and back . never ignoring the characters\u2019 pain as the family dissolves in the course of the film , davies brings to their gatherings a heartfelt sense of emotional community struggling with the inescapable passage of time .\nthe songs , presented cold , clearly mean more to the director than they do to an audience that doesn ' t share his very specific feelings of loss and love . ' ' distant voices , still lives ' ' has the rigorous , studied look of advanced film - school work . the color photography has a soft , golden hue , and the camera movements are stately , with a lot of pans from right to left and , on occasion , a slow rise toward heaven , as if the film ( and the man directing it ) were looking up to god .\ndavies recently detailed with characteristic candour his struggles with organisations such as the uk film council but events seem about to take a turn for the better . a new film , an adaptation of lewis grassic gibbon \u2019s sunset song has been announced , and after its rousing reception at the recent 50th london film festival , the restoration of the magnificent distant voices , still lives will go on general release in february 2007 . time has done nothing to dim the film\u2019s beauty and power ; farley\u2019s book \u2013 to which davies\u2019 was a fulsome contributor \u2013 is a valuable and erudite companion piece .\nif you ' re living with any of the issues katie describes in her blog you may find our info on bipolar or hearing voices useful .\nthis is the first feature film of liverpudlian terence davies , obviously autobiographical , dealing with a family called davies and their lives during the 1940s and 1950s .\narthur miller professed surprise when death of a salesman , to him a quintessentially american play , was successfully produced in china . distant voices , still lives , despite being located in so specific a time and place , has a similar universality of appeal . it taps into british and american cultural memory ; in the way it recreates an era through its media habits , its cinema - going and wireless listening , it is akin to woody allen ' s radio days . but its themes , marriage , birth , death , memories of the anguishes and pleasures of family life , make it accessible to almost anyone , even to xenophobic continental critics who still find it impossible to link the idea of\ncinema\nwith that of\nbritain .\nmade in 1961 , when homosexuality was still illegal in britain , this drama sees a gay lawyer fighting against a blackmailer targeting gay london men .\neven if you weren ' t in a foul mood , this is still a completely valid point , this film should be on a fucking dvd .\nfullerton , j . and king , e . ( 2005 ) , \u2018local views , distant scenes : registering affect in surviving mexican actuality films of the 1920s\u2019 ,\nits narrative quirks are another hint that time has passed since the events in the film occurred . moving on from the clearly signposted backtracks of the loneliness of the long distance runner , distant voices , still lives is a more impressionistic look at the lives of a worn down post - war liverpool family and it is given this impressionistic view by its sound world . songs and sounds appear and disappear , moving from scene to scene , sometimes from the past , sometimes from a fixed present . it is a visual feast of a film with williams ( 2001 , p . 110 ) recalling davies\u2019 work ( among other directors ) to be of a heavily visual basis ; \u201ctheir work is so strong visually , it shows harrowing class experiences , but it\u2019s not didactic . it shows something from the inside . \u201d\nthe second film in terence davies ' s autobiographical series ( ' trilogy ' , ' the long day closes ' ) is an impressionistic view of a working - class family in 1940s and 1950s liverpool , based on davies ' s own family . the first part , ' distant voices ' , opens . . . read all\n58 the first attempt to blow up the concrete framework of the winnipeg arena did not succeed ; it was still standing after the explosion of dynamite charges .\nset in 1940s england , distant voices / still lives is a compassionate look at a radically dysfunctional family . the son and his mother must endure the casual and overt cruelties of the bull - necked father . the ongoing abuse takes its toll in the form of failed marriages and misguided attempts at seeking security outside the family unit . as was the case with his earlier short subject trilogy ( the children , madonna and child , death and transfiguration ) , director terence davies based much of the material on his own life , combining rheumy - eyed cynicism with soft - edged nostalgia ( the musical track , drawn from popular wartime songs , is particularly evocative ) .\nthis is another reason most of the media \u2014 including supposedly \u201cserious\u201d publications like the new yorker \u2013 feel ill at ease with such a movie , preferring just about any hackneyed plot to a piece of cinema without a paraphrasable story . similarly , some reviewers have argued that the absence of the brutal father figure in the long day closes means a certain loss in dramatic tension compared to distant voices , still lives . i can see what they mean , but only if drama and tension are defined solely in terms of character and incident . if consciousness itself is the subject of the long day closes , as i believe it is , then there\u2019s very little drop in feeling and intensity .\nterence davies\u2019 autobiographical second feature is the last film to be examined . unlike the other two examples , this film needs far more recontextualisation as its overall aesthetic choices for sound and music are greatly affected by differing factors . the first thing to note is that distant voices , still lives can be classed as a period film . williams ( 1993 , p . 241 ) argues that \u201cwhether conscious or not , davies attempts traumatic depictions using characteristic techniques of memory fragmentation and nonlinear representation involving his audience in the unpleasant realm . by doing this , he avoids the nostalgia inherent in any work dealing with the past . \u201d as we will see , the musical argument completely contradicts this reading .\nit would be impossible for davies to show working class life in all of its complexities without music and sound . everett ( 2004 , p . 171 ) believes this is instantly obvious because of the sheer volume of music in the film , stating \u201chowever , as soon as we move to distant voices , still lives , we become aware of a major shift in davies\u2019s treatment of music . this is obvious merely from noting the proportion of the film in which music is heard . \u201d the film is one whose soundtrack tells as much as its visual narrative , sometimes even more so . as we will see , davies is a director who is conscious of the powerful relationship between sound and vision ; one that when used in very specific ways can recreate that feeling of stumbling upon a memory . its haphazard jumping between time frames and reliance on sound worlds from different periods in the family\u2019s life speaks of the whole film being one long recollection with only an olivier voice - over missing to give it the obvious tell - tale sign . everett ( 2004 , p . 65 ) also argues that \u201cin distant voices , still lives , the camera glides through and between memories , twisting and turning upon itself in complex patterns which if not chronological or plot - driven may instead be recognised as musical and harmonic . \u201d even the very structure of the film seems quintessentially musical .\ndavies\u2019s film is an act of exorcism , but also one of redemption . \u201ci make films to come to terms with my family history , \u201d the director has said . \u201cif there had been no suffering , there would have been no films . \u201d distant voices , still lives is a far darker work than the long day closes , davies\u2019s luminous 1992 follow - up , where he could freely , lyrically recall the burgeoning awareness of his homosexuality , his joy for cinema , or , simply , the stupefying play of light on a carpet ; as armond white superbly put it , the difference between the two films is the difference between \u201cmemories davies can\u2019t get rid of and memories he won\u2019t let go . \u201d\nthe second way davies\u2019s film represents a radical move away from traditional forms of fictional narrative is in its use of music . the whole of\ndistant voices , still lives\nis constructed of seemingly disconnected scenes , threaded together by a complex series of voiceovers , popular songs and religious hymns , and , occasionally , synched dialogue that is used to sound - bridge disparate spaces . the most memorable sounds that bring together the film\u2019s many shards as well as create a more thematic harmony , however , are the popular radio tunes or ditties sung on - camera by its many characters . entire sequences are made up strictly of these songs , whether performed as solos or singalongs , in the family\u2019s parlor or in the neighborhood pub .\nhis film credits were extensive , but particularly notable were his work on john schlesinger ' s cold comfort farm ( 1995 ) , and his long association with the director terence davies , for whom he worked as musical director on the films distant voices , still lives ( 1988 ) , the long day closes ( 1992 ) and the neon bible ( 1995 ) . davies ' s meditative and elegiac films about a liverpool working - class family were appealing to lockhart , who was born and brought up in wigan and never quite adjusted to what he viewed as the terminal effeteness of the south - east . other film credits included andrew grieve ' s on the black hill ( 1988 ) and the thriller vicious circles ( 1997 ) .\nwhat is perhaps more interesting is that , by recalling this post - war era , davies has also recalled its reliance on music ; something that neither of the previous films acknowledged . \u201cthe first problem of reflectionism affects both classical and marxist schemes since they conceive of music as a primarily reactive phenomenon . \u201d argues flinn ( 1992 , p . 88 ) and though the musical reactions of the loneliness of the long distance runner reflect this problematic stance , distant voices , still lives shows a reliant music rather than a reactionary relationship . in the context of davies work though , many of flinn\u2019s general arguments are lacking ( through no fault of the writer\u2019s ) prompting everett to call them \u201cover - simplistic\u201d ( 2004 , p . 175 ) .\ndespite a career of critical acclaim , terence davies still struggles to get his films made . whose fault is that ? just about everybody ' s , he tells simon hattenstone .\nthere are lighting changes that signal the passage of time ( a carpet pattern seen at different times of day ) and transitions into and out of bud\u2019s daydreams . ( seated at his desk in the center of a classroom , lit by a spotlight , he looks out the window and sees a huge ship sailing past , gets sprayed with wind and rain , then is seen dry as the other boys in the surrounding desks become visible again . ) there are recurring architectural motifs \u2014 windows are as important here as doors were in distant voices , still lives \u2014 and recurring postures . ( looking out various windows in his house , bud often kneels on the floor , which recalls his prayers in church and his rapt leaning against the parapet in a movie theater balcony . )\nthe association accounted for variables like cohabitation , chronic physical and mental disorders , depressive symptoms , and emotional - social support . worries emanating from close relationships like partners or kids were more strongly related to mortality than worries from those more distant . but still , even if you are not overtly trying to kill your neighbor , it would seem that a duplicitous relationship could be ravaging you both .\nwith his next two films , davies continued to excavate his past , breaking up time in even more radical ways .\ndistant voices , still lives\n( 1988 ) and\nthe long day closes\n( 1992 ) , companion pieces of a sort , and the works on which the director\u2019s reputation largely lies , are woven tapestries of sounds and images , dreams and desires of a specifically working - class milieu that both evoke and fly in the face of the british school of realism that defined davies\u2019s national cinema , from john grierson and humphrey jennings\u2019s groundbreaking experiments in documentary in the 1930s and 1940s to the \u201ckitchen - sink dramas\u201d of the 1950s and 1960s to the \u201cheritage\u201d and new - realist films of the 1980s and 1990s , typified by merchant - ivory and mike leigh , respectively .\nthe film feels no need to shy away from the issues that were simply impossible to be put on screen during the 1940s and even the early 1960s but does use music to in some way account for the presence of darker themes . everett ( 2004 , p . 177 ) puts this down to a need to break the nostalgia : \u201cdavies allows nostalgia to develop and then to be destroyed from within . \u201d this is the main point on which we disagree . though great attention is paid to the music in her writings on both distant voices , still lives and the director\u2019s general use of it , it seems that the visual narrative has won over the writer rather than its sound - world which only breaks from nostalgia properly for one segment , even though the film has more than one unpleasant scene .\nin contrast to this elusive editing , the visuals provide concrete , tangible textures . dvsl has a supremely unique look and feel to it ; davies said it was due a bleach process in film development that desaturated the color , creating slightly washed - out tones . davies calibrated this to the range of browns and sepia colors , creating a film that looks like old - photographs without ever being obvious or one - dimensional . the art design and lighting adds to this , and it\u2019s certainly one of those films where you can almost feel the tactile quality of the surfaces , from the stones to the wood to the wallpaper . as the distant voices section gives way to the still lives section , davies consciously warms up the tone . even though it\u2019s still desaturated , there\u2019s now more angled , diffused , glowing light . the grays and blacks of the former give way to the golden reds of the latter . this is especially potent during davies\u2019 repeated fades to white , which envelop his characters in an angelic glow .\nthere is something indescribable about the very real pleasures of terence davies\u2019 breakthrough film , distant voices , still lives . it is a slippery , intangible work and its most beautiful moments ( of which there are many ) emerge from a combination of evocative sounds , more particularly music , the exactness of composition , and the vicissitudes of camera movement . most descriptions of the film and even the title itself suggest it embodies a kind of anti - cinema that is defined by notions of stillness , isolated sound and enclosed tableaux and yet this says little about the film\u2019s atmosphere or explicit textuality ( which are both self - conscious and felt ) . a film which can , in turns , effectively evoke the cinema of michael powell and emeric pressburger , bill douglas , yasujiro ozu , and the mgm musical must be considered in terms that respect its cinematic specificity .\nan impressionistic view of a working - class family in 1940s and 1950s liverpool , based on davies ' s own family . the first part , distant voices , opens with grown siblings eileen , maisie , and tony , and their mother arranged in mourning clothes before the photograph of their smiling father . soon after , the family poses in a similar tableau , but for a happier occasion - - eileen ' s wedding . while relatives sing at her reception , eileen hysterically grieves for her dad , and recalls happy times of her youth . tony and maisie ' s memories , however , are more troubled . . . . in still lives , set ( and filmed ) two years later , the siblings are settled in life , but not all happily . for eileen , relief from her drab existence comes only when singing at the pub .\ncommissioned as part of liverpool\u2019s 800th birthday celebrations in 2007 , the british premiere of of time and the city ( terence davies , 2008 ) in the city\u2019s philharmonic hall in 2008 was celebrated as a major european capital of culture event . hailed at cannes as a distinctly \u2018terence davies\u2019 film , of time and the city is a personal triumph for davies , returning after an eightyear absence from film making to the place of his birth and the memories that inspired his acclaimed semi - autobiographical films distant voices , still lives ( 1988 ) and the long day closes ( 1992 ) . a bitter - sweet love song to his native city composed of 85 per cent archive footage , most of it shot in liverpool between the 1940s and the early 1970s , of time and the city traces the exterior spaces and places of childhood and adolescence evoked but never seen in these earlier films .\nnot the least among its achievements , terence davies\u2019s wondrous distant voices , still lives offers a crystallization of the appeal of the musical . an odd linkage , to be sure , since the genre\u2019s trademark studio boisterousness would seem a world away from the kitchen - sink dreariness of the director\u2019s mood piece about his years growing up with his working - class family in post - wwii liverpool , dominated by his abusive ogre of a father . yet davies transcends the facile trap of misery - porn by tapping into the basic notion that could make musicals so enlivening\u2014music as direct expression , music as emotion felt . cinema is the most unashamedly emotional of arts , and the musical feeds in no small part on repressed , frustrated sensations , the better to explode them with bursts of melodious bravura ; what are musical numbers , after all , if not lyrically stylized declarations of feelings that could not be expressed any other way ?\nbut then i thought well , you can ' t , you know , you still can ' t go be an actor . i mean people from warrington don ' t go and be actors , really . so i decided to carry on - i ' d teach for a couple years and then see what happened after that and if i still fancied it after that i ' d follow - i ' d go and do it .\nif you combined the personalized art therapy of ingmar bergman with the formal ellipticism and familial focus of hou hsiao - hsien and the theme of an elusive , fractured , and free - association memory of tarkovsky\u2019s zerkalo you\u2019d have a perfect , if difficult , description of terence davies\u2019 aesthetic . davies had begun his career with his trilogy , three short , black & white films made between \u201976 and \u201984 . poetically fractal and challenging in their own right , the trilogy chronicled davies maturation as a filmmaker , beginning with the rawness of children , to the more studied and transitional madonna and child , and concluding with the masterful death and transfiguration . but if the trilogy was the herald , then distant voices , still lives ( dvsl ) is the second coming\u2014the ultimate testament of the greatest of post - war british filmmakers . this film retains all of the emotional and aesthetic power of its predecessors , while offering a sophisticatedly refined form and style to match .\ndistant voices , still lives delves into the mechanics of memory ( which it never conceives of as mechanical at all ) and the mechanics and possibility of representing this memory in cinema . in the process it investigates the capacity of fictional cinema to act as memory book or family album . the film illustrates an important tension between evocative , realistic and tellingly detailed portrayal and the inaccessibility of the material portrayed to us ( which can only be represented , distanced , voiced , stilled ) . essentially what it offers is an emotionally charged self - conscious cinema throughout which we can sense the presence of the camera as it isolates an empty stairwell , cranes up from a sea of umbrellas , lingers over a composition , or perfectly frames and situates character within space . in the end davies\u2019 film shows us duration , emotion , memory , the constructedness of space , and their interconnectedness . in the process it provides a heartfelt lesson in the nature , specificity and beauty of cinema itself .\ndvsl also contains a more ostensible link to its predecessors due to the fact its narrative is rooted in davies\u2019 autobiographical past . in the trilogy , davis had focused on his own life ( and imagined death ) , but dvsl removes davies the character from the equation . here , the canvas is much broader , trading the isolated suffering of the trilogy for a more communal one . what emerges is an impressionistic take of a working class family in england during the 40s and 50s . as the trilogy was made up of three , thematically connected short films , dvsl is made up of two , half - feature - length films itself . distant voices traces the sense - memory associations of davies\u2019 family\u2019s life through the period up until their father\u2019s death , capturing that life in brief snatches of scenes that flow into others like tributaries into lakes . still lives , however , takes us outside the oppressive home environment to focus on the marriages of davies\u2019 older sisters and brother , and the birth , christening , and party for the first child of the siblings .\nthe second film in terence davies ' s autobiographical series ( ' trilogy ' , ' the long day closes ' ) is an impressionistic view of a working - class family in 1940s and 1950s liverpool , based on davies ' s own family . the first part , ' distant voices ' , opens with grown siblings eileen ( angela walsh ) , maisie ( lorraine ashbourne ) and tony ( dean williams ) , and their mother ( freda dowie ) arranged in mourning clothes before the photograph of their smiling father ( pete postlethwaite ) . soon after , the family poses in a similar tableau , but for a happier occasion - eileen ' s wedding . while relatives sing at her reception , eileen hysterically grieves for her dad , and recalls happy times of her youth . tony and maisie ' s memories , however , are more troubled . davies intermingles and contrasts scenes like the family peacefully lighting candles in church with the brutal man beating his wife and terrorizing his young children . in ' still lives ' , set ( and filmed ) two years later , the siblings are settled in life , . . .\nthe story is divided into two parts , just like the title . distant voices is the frightening memory of the alcoholic and violent father , played brilliantly by the british actor pete postlethwaite , dictator in his family , where he seeks his revenge on a gray life , all set in a leaden and popular liverpool before the beatles era , in the ' 40s and early the following decade , a city photographed so impressionistic by patrick duval . the other part of the film , still lives , focuses on the attempt to turn the page of the family , after the death of the father , and the whole story revolves around the marriage of his son , the protagonist of the film , symbolic moment of a new beginning . a new beginning that the film shows us to be nevertheless always within the same mechanisms , as if the characters were been forced to repeat the mistakes which have been affected themselves , and to repeat in their family , the family of origin . to mark the difference , the fragments of memories are separate by black screens in the first part , and by screens white and full of light , in the second one .\nthe pebbles are the moments outside time , the shards of memory at the heart of the movement . these \u201ctimeless moments\u201d are positioned quite literally outside the flow of time by being depicted as still or frozen poses which disrupt the temporal and spatial movement of the film itself . 36\njust three floors below the impact zone , not a thing budged in steve mcintyre ' s office . not the slate paperweight shaped like a sailing ship . not the family snapshots propped up on a bookcase . mcintyre found himself in front of a computer that was still on .\nit is not often that british films win prizes at international film festivals . truffaut , despite his penchant for hitchcock , and satyajit ray have both remarked that the british are more or less temperamentally incapable of holding movie cameras . a low - budget , bfi - financed account of a working - class childhood in post - war liverpool hardly seems likely to set the continental critics alight . nonetheless , distant voices , still lives received the international critics prize at the cannes festival , and also shared the golden leopard at the locarno festival . perhaps as a result of its european reception , the film was apotheosized by british critics , who , while lavishing extravagant praise , insisted on writing about it as if it were a remake of a room with a view , as if it were yet another piece of cosy , edwardian nostalgia : terence davies , the\nproletarian proust ,\nhad , we were told ,\nwrenched high art from the lower depths of his deprived liverpool childhood .\nhis film was like\ncoronation street by bresson .\n( it is ironic that a film which recreates an era largely through its popular culture should be treated as a piece of\nart house\ncinema . )"]}

' well then , ' adolf zukor said finally , ' if he has to be killed , don ' t let him be killed by that little rat , mccall . at least let charles bickford kill him !

team all - american in equitation on the flat . knight also earned first team all - american honors as she enters the national championships with a 12 - 2 record in horsemanship .\ncomically inaccurate but wildly entertaining epic western that only cecil demille could make without being laughed out of town . his flamboyant style and tendency to melodrama are a good match for the larger -

putting , and luna ' s style can best be described as advanced grindhouse point and shoot . there is nothing here to distinguish it from other high concept indie efforts except the casting and the lifestyle choices involved . it ' s refreshing to know that gay -

off trannies with knives . \u201d\u201cnegative and stereotyped media portrayals of transgender people hurt the community because americans still need more education on transgender issues , \u201d said kim person , executive director of transyouth family allies .\nthe images in this film make a mockery of their lives . i want more for my child and all transgender people . \u201d\n\u201ci got way too big off views / back to the basics , i won\u2019t lose . \u201d\nluna\u2019s dreams have been realized . audiences have been literally cheering their support in sold - out film festival screenings in fort worth , dallas , new york , seattle , philadelphia , and san francisco . ticked - off trannies with knives has become an underground sensation . but the uproar has been fueled in part by some furious opposition to the film \u2014 coming not , as one might expect , from the right - wing anti - gay crowd but from a part of the transgender community itself .\nluna is now working on an hour - long documentary about transgender women and their complicated experiences , including violence . although he\u2019s thrilled that ticked - off trannies with knives has encountered so much unexpected success , it\u2019s clear he still feels hurt that some members of the lgbt community have vilified him for making what he sees as a movie with a strong pro - trans message . the fact that the transgender women portrayed in the movie are flamboyant , angry , vengeful , and even a little cartoonish is a plus in his mind . he draws comparisons to his own experiences as an ethnic minority with popular culture .\nas a crossover attempt by gay writer / director israel luna into the world of direct to dvd schlock , ticked off trannies with knives has its moments . the opening sequence , where we are introduced to the five fabulous ladies who will lead us through this comic nightmare , is brilliant . it highlights the personalities involved without devolving into cartoon or cliche . even better , when the quintet hang out for drinks and dishing , the vibe is electric - and then the plot starts to kick in . frankly , everything that happens with boner and his gang of hate - crime committing hombres is predictable , pointless , and painful to watch . we are never prepared for the juxtaposition in tone : the club material is so fun and boisterous that when we witness favored characters brazenly beaten to death , it really kills the mood . luna tries to revive it with a couple of cinematic in - jokes ( missing reels , unexplained narrative developments ) but it doesn ' t work . ticked off trannies takes a real risk with such a bold back and forth . it ' s a possibility , however , that never pays off .\ni\u2019m with luna . fighting hate with hate is what actually changes history . pious passivity is just loser talk .\nglaad finds it troubling that the respected tribeca film festival would give a film that sensationalizes anti - transgender violence and misrepresents the lives of transgender women , a platform that affords such great exposure . the tribeca film festival has a history of screening powerful lgbt films , such as the glaad media award - nominated quentin crisp biopic an englishman in new york , and the glaad media award - winning film transamerica , about a transgender woman reconnecting with her son . ticked - off trannies with knives does not meet , and in fact devalues , the standard of excellence established by the festival .\ni thought this movie was called\nticked - off grannies with knives\nwhen i bought it . i bought it on title only , i was thinking cool - grandmas going berserk . i realized it was trannies not grannies when i started to play it . this movie is great . a gay themed grindhouse movie that is very well made . it ' s a thriller , a comedy and a revenge movie all in one . a solid 5 star movie . i will put this dvd on my dvd shelf right next to my other grindhouse type movies .\nfor her part , busey doesn\u2019t regret one moment of the blog and street protests that she and transgender activists across the country have staged . she still believes that the movie\u2019s trailer is proof that ticked - off trannies is harmful to trans people , who have to endure the stares and comments of strangers and an ever - present , implicit threat of violence because of who they are .\nluna and miller knew nothing of busey\u2019s past , only that she and other bloggers around the country were relentless in trying to get as many people as possible to denounce ticked - off trannies . the filmmakers consulted with the gay and lesbian alliance against defamation , or glaad \u2014 the national gay media watchdog group \u2014 on the best ways to court transgender people as a niche audience and how to use inclusive language in the marketing campaign . as far as luna and miller could tell , their relationship with glaad was going well .\nsomewhere around the late ' 90s , drag kitsch went from agreeable taboo to television mainstay . with noted female\nillusionist\nrupaul ruling logo with his various impersonator enterprises and the\ntran\nprefix moving from the once scandalous\nvestite\nto dating show obvious\nsexual\nin pop culture commonality , the time seems ripe for a queer - ccentric horror romp where gay humor and genre contrivances go head - to - head . the result ? something called ticked off trannies with knives . while the title is relatively self - explanatory , the film itself is somewhat schizophrenic . on the one hand , it has enough glam girlfriend diva dishing to support such hilarious homo - witticism . on the other hand , the i spit on your grave - like revenge - angle is very nasty indeed , turning everything campy into something quite cruel .\nultimately and perhaps predictably , the efforts by glaad and national transgender activists have only fueled publicity about the film and helped it reach a wider audience . just last month , luna and miller signed a deal with the philadelphia - based breaking glass pictures to distribute ticked - off this fall as a midnight movie at art house theaters around the country and then release it on dvd with extras \u2014 including the footage that gibson shot in her home .\nisrael luna , the director of the film ticked - off trannies with knives , has promised to change the movie ' s trailer to remove references to victims of real - life anti - transgender hate crimes . the movie , which will screen at the tribeca film festival , has come under fire from the gay & lesbian alliance against defamation , who are troubled by its over - the - top title and gory depictions of violence against transgendered women . the director had intended the references to real victims to ground the picture in reality , but admits now that\nthe association between their brutal stories and the revenge / thriller content of the film in its entirety has been difficult to connect .\n[ artsbeat / nyt ]\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\nthe finished script was christened with a title that would make trash auteurs roger corman and jack hill proud \u2014 ticked - off trannies with knives . while miller went looking for financing , luna began to approach longtime friends and associates with roles he had written for them . he wanted fort worth set designer , fight coordinator , and actor tom zembrod for the role of boner , the scuzzy bat - wielding hillbilly villain . his friend krystal summers , who performs as a host and showgirl at gay clubs in dallas , was tapped for the lead role of bubbles cliquot , one of the hate - crime survivors . kelexis davenport , a longtime dallas drag performer , would play the \u201cmother hen\u201d character pinky la trimm . and after a series of casting changes , willam belli , a los angeles actor whom luna had met on facebook , drove to texas to play the wisecracking , scene - stealing rachel slurr .\nluna ' s motives may be noble - he has stated in interviews that he wanted to shine an irreverent light on all the crimes he sees against transsexuals - but his goal only make matters worse . instead of lingering on the punishment , showing us step by step how our ladies are lured to their horrific fate , he should have included more scenes of sensitivity . when bubbles comes out of her coma , pinky and rachel are there to provide some pointed ( and rather funny ) comfort . elsewhere , empowering words are spoken and supported . but then luna undermines it all again with a last act confrontation that plays right back into the film ' s flawed weaknesses . again , boner and this boys are just cardboard cutouts . giving them almost half of the storyline is antithetical to ticked off trannies with knives ' ideals .\nis about a group of trannies - drag queens , transvestites , or transgendered people ; in this movie , its more the first two - who go off on dates with a group of bio - gendered men , only to be drugged , beaten , raped and murdered , leaving one survivor . this survivor and two more of her friends set traps for the rapist - murderers in order to exact bloody revenge . much like\na group of trannies are violently bashed and left for dead . the surviving ladies regain consciousness , confidence , and courage ready to seek out revenge on the ones who attacked them .\ni agree with you fakename , john waters did do it better 40 years ago .\nget ready for prime day with the amazon app . no purchase necessary . learn more\nsmith was , to the say the least , in a difficult position \u2014 he was a board member of q cinema , but busey was also a member of his flock at trinity . she and other trans parishioners had convinced a small coalition of north texas mcc churches to take out a full - page , $ 1 , 800 ad in the dallas voice criticizing ticked - off tr * nnies with knives for its use of the \u201ct\u201d word and its \u201cstereotypical\u201d depiction of transgender women . as panel moderator , smith\u2019s goal was to stand squarely in the middle of the fracas and try to build a bridge between sides .\nsome girls are simply not to be messed with . and so it is with the fabulous heroines bubbles cliquot , tipper sommore , rachel slurr , and emma grashun . all respect is given to them in pinky la ' trimm ' s nightclub , but when they beome the victims of a psycho guy who just can ' t get over his conflicted desire for bubbles , the bruised - up babes shake it up grand diva style and transform into deadly vixens . an homage to the exploitation films of the ' 70s and ' 80s , ticked - off is a revenge fantasy flick that brews up a concoction of camp , slasher horror , and power - chick flick to create a radical new genre : transploitation ! inspired by the devastating increase in brutal hate crimes against people in the transgender community , writer / director israel luna , along with his dallas - based cast and crew , pour their hearts into creating the atmospheric ' 70s distressed aesthetic that glimmers with each woman ' s distinct brassy groove . loaded with kick - ass bodacious bods ticked - off makes it clear that it takes more than balls to get even .\nafter the movie wrapped , israel edited it himself over the following six months . if he was lucky , he figured , ticked - off trannies might be accepted by a couple of film festivals around the country and then get sold to dvd . but the game changer came earlier this year when new york\u2019s prestigious tribeca film festival \u2014 co - founded by robert de niro \u2014 accepted the film as part of its \u201cmidnight movie\u201d series . word spread quickly throughout the north texas transgender community , and then the shit hit the worldwide blogosphere .\ncampaign to taunt trump with \u2018american idiot\u2019 ahead of u . k . visit is actually working\nbooked cigna video project with partnercomm productions . completed filming in dallas , tx april 2014 .\nbooked privacy pete industrial with partnercomm productions . completed filming in dallas , tx november 2013 .\nthe newly rechristened ticked -

( a gay festival in philadelphia later booked it as well . ) q cinema artistic director todd camp has known luna for many years , and q had screened several of the writer - director\u2019s previous movies . camp even made a brief visit to the fort worth warehouse set while the bashing scene was being filmed .\neven audiences unfamiliar with crowley\u2019s story of eight gay friends at a birthday party gone - bad are in for a treat , as the documentary effortlessly weave\u2019s crowley\u2019s autobiographical narrative with the play\u2019s development and the energy of pre - stonewall new york . the play\u2019s run from small experimental theater to off - broadway to film is perfectly juxtaposed with the birth of the gay rights movement , as its reception was intrinsic to the revolution that resulted from it .\ncould you imagine if a film came out called\nticked off fagots with pink pistols\nthat mocked matthew shepard ' s death , and expressed gay men just want to get married to get tax breaks , but still have sex with multiple partners , and jokingly alluded to gay men being pedophiles ? the whole lgbt community would be up in arms ! we demand the same protections the gay and lesbian community receives ! crumbs are no longer acceptable . we need the gay and lesbian community , who have more access and influence in the media then we do , to stand with glaad and the trans community on this protest and call to action\nthe heart of this grindhouse - inspired effort remains in a happy place , committing to the screen a new breed of exploitation cinema vixen and , believe me , they ' re packing more than just knives .\nhe failed to give activists and leaders in the trans community his problematic film prior to this controversy - he knew from many warnings that it would not be well received by many trans people . as a person with many media / entertainment industry contacts , i was able to view the film through an associate . this associate asked i not have their name released , for fear of the\nwrath of luna and the ' ticked off ' supporters of his transohobic film\u201d .\nwith often engrossing dialogue , luna ' s characterization is rich and often times interesting . . .\nbooked role for american airlines with partnercomm productions . completed filming in dallas , tx may 2014 .\nbooked role for flu shot project with partnercomm productions . completed in dallas , tx november 2013 .\nbusey had known luna for a few years and was aware that he was writing a script called ticked - off trannies before it went into production last summer . busey and some others in the transgender community consider the word \u201ctranny\u201d to be an insult . at one point , busey had launched an internet campaign to get the dallas voice to stop the paper\u2019s occasional use of the word in its stories . ( other transgender people have reclaimed the word the way some women , african - americans , and gays and lesbians have embraced hateful slurs against them as streetwise badges of honor . )\n\u201ci wasn\u2019t there to condemn the film , \u201d said smith , who also declined to see it as a gesture of solidarity with the protesters . \u201ci was there to stand with members of the local transgender community who had problems with the film and wanted to voice their concerns about it . \u201d\nglaad hopes that an institution as respected as the tribeca film festival would be concerned about how this film trivializes violence against transgender people , concerns that the filmmaker has repeatedly shrugged off .\nto send an email with suggested text to the tribeca film festival contacts above , go to urltoken .\nin 1967 , a chemical plant near a discreet roadside restroom causes an outbreak of gay zombies . at a near by beach cottage a group of best friends must fight off the undead .\noddly enough , busey has never seen the movie she\u2019s so vehemently opposed to . on at least two occasions , israel asked her to watch the film and give him her opinions \u2014 good , bad , or indifferent . she declined . many people have asked her how she can passionately advocate , on the web and on the streets , against a film she\u2019s never seen . busey explains by describing some dark experiences from her own life and how they directly related to ticked -

time director who faced enormous obstacles in getting it made . that thumbnail version makes it almost impossible to root against the film , although some of soumik sen ' s obstacles were of his own creation . his claims that the film is fiction and that any resemblance to real people is coincidental strain credibility to the breaking point , as the pink saris worn by the title gang are the very ones worn by the real - life gulabi gang , whose name sen didn ' t even bother to change , and upon whose founder sen ' s protagonist is heavily based . this led to legal disputes that threatened to delay release of the movie . all of this is meant not to reignite the debates about poetic license in fictional films drawn from real life , but to make the point that\ngulaab gang\nis a movie whose director needs to get out of its way . which is a wildly delicious bit of irony , considering that it ' s about women taking charge of their own lives , and that sen is a man .\nan example of parallel cinema , company received critical acclaim at the austin film festival , new york asian film festival , and the fribourg international film festival .

woman stances are an elaborate and satisfying performance . jain is able to point this out with eloquent subtlety in her documentary . women like jahan accuse others of the weakness that they themselves exhibit when their own family members are implicated in violence against women . the sense of gulabi gang ' s public campaigns being a performance is perhaps most evident in the scenes where members are seen practicing combat using lathis . there ' s no gusto as the sticks strike . instead the moves are lackadaisical , as though the two ' fighting ' women are dancing a lacklustre garba . yet when the same women speak at meetings , their words are fiery and heartfelt .\nthe film highlights the economics behind running an indian mafia organization . in the opening , ajay devgan describes the modus operandi of underworld :\n\u201d the film is genuinely entertaining , shot through with wry humour and an unblinkered view of life in rural india . \u201d time out delhi\nwhile in the desolate and dusty badlands of bundelkhand in central india , an unusual group of rural women referred to as the gulabi gang offer a sign of hope . led by the charismatic sampat pal , these women travel long distances to fight for the rights of women and dalits . along the way , they encounter resistance , apathy , corruption , and even ridicule .\nenter the badlands of bundelkhand in central india and you have entered a place of desolation , dust and despair . and yet it is hope that we discover as we follow the pink sari -

production than to make the entire film , \u201d masurkar tells swissinfo . ch .\njain ' s documentary suggests that pal is bringing change to bundelkhand , albeit very tentatively and delicately . by the time we see pal in this documentary , she is less eager to follow the vigilante ' s path and instead urges victims ' families to use the law to their advantage and for justice . pal also encourages members of the gulabi gang to stand for local elections , which is perhaps the ultimate sign of gulabi gang becoming part of the system rather than countering it . it ' s heartening that some of the pink -

opt the gang to burnish her own feminist and populist credentials , the pace begins to dip rather badly .\ndespite the fact that sen takes an unconscionably long time to tell the central story without sufficient subplots or songs ( of which there are only a couple ) , there ' s plenty to like in\ngulaab gang\n. madhuri dixit is one of the all - time greats and getting to see her work is a delight regardless of the surrounding film ' s quality , but getting to see her wreaking havoc in the kind of wild action sequences usually reserved for the thick - mustached , bare - chested , and male is a particular joy .\ngulaab gang\ncould have stood the addition of at least a half - dozen additional sequences ; in fact , a whole movie of madhuri dixit doing flying spin kicks and carving henchmen in half with scythes would be welcome . although that would deprive the audience of the joys of seeing juhi chawla investing her villain with such melodramatic pathology . all chawla is missing , in her role similarly usually reserved for men in popular film , is a mustache to twirl .\nthe story revolves around a young man named chandu ( chandarkant nagre ) ( played by vivek oberoi ) joining the world of crime in the mumbai underworld to\nmake it big\nsomeday . gradually he learns tricks of the trade and increases the gang ' s earnings and profits . this leads to his affinity with malik ( ajay devgan ) who is the leader of the gang . the film features one cold - blooded murder scene wherein malik and chandu kill saeed and his brother anis in the rear seat of the car on a chilling rainy day . thereafter malik goes on a bloody rampage killing all his opponents , to take the reins of underworld in his hands . in this stage , malik says a prominent dialogue\nsaab ganda hai par dhanda hai ye\n( thing are dirty but its business ) .\nnew delhi : the 61st national awards is going to be announced on wednesday , 16th april 2014 , by the directorate of film festivals . this prestigious honour is awarded to celebrate the best of indian cinema , and many regional and mainstream movies are nominated .\nby putting a potboiler spin on his version of her story , and by casting two of india\u2019s best -

placed when pal helps soondhi register a case against rajrani ' s husband . when she bluntly and logically shreds rajrani ' s in - laws ' contention that girl killed herself , it ' s easy to see why pal is a hero in bundelkhand and that her feisty spirit has inspired the film gulaab gang , which is due to release in a few weeks . and yet , the silences remain and the crimes continue in bundelkhand . for all of pal ' s celebrity stature , she cannot prevent these crimes from taking place and she cannot inspire her followers to hold feminist principles over ties of blood .\n2016 instructor summerfuel international students u . c . berkeley , berkeley , ca visual storytelling 2008 -

office for its hard - hitting content .\n[ 9 ]\ncompany is believed to be an almost - true story based on depictions of the d - company split between mumbai crime lords dawood ibrahim and chotta rajan . it ' s said that the recruitment of chandu to aslam ali ' s gang by mallik was almost identical to chotta rajan ' s introduction to dawood after rajan ' s mentor and boss bada rajan died in the early 1980s .\nhis rival gang leader and colleague under aslam ' s umbrella sharma , who was in a meeting with police inspector rathod , is killed off . inspector rathod , who once tortured and abused chandu in jail in early days , is killed at malik ' s permission . however , both come at loggerheads during the execution of a contract killing . chandu stops the deliberate vehicle crash and falls from malik ' s favor . the contract was from a politician who tries to use malik ' s gang to eliminate a front - runner , a contender for home minister ' s post . the assassination ( a staged truck - car collision ) takes place in spite of chandu ' s emotional misdemeanor since malik , not relaying on chandu anymore , gives direct orders . the rift between chandu and malik widens due to misunderstandings . the commissioner of police , sreenivasan ips ( mohanlal ) uses the rift to bring the mafia under control . chandu and malik end up becoming bitter enemies . after chandu ' s retaliation of the assassination of his lifelong friend of one of lieutenants warsi , two factions of mumbai ' s once most powerful gang ' company ' went to a full - scale war .\nthe documentary is not typical , the shooting style is brisk and mostly the theme is poignant . the celebration of woman power in such obsolete regional extremes of india that has for years remained devoid of proper literacy and awareness for women\u2019s rights is inspiring . sampat pal and her gang is gutsy , fearless and celebrate womanhood is ways wider than ours . the story and its cinematic translation amazed me .\nfor choosing this material and these actors to play it , and for the terrific , organic camaraderie of the title gang , soumik sen is to be commended . he shoots interestingly , in the manner of a talented but raw newcomer . but he has a tendency to repeat himself , and there are long stretches of\ngulaab gang\nwhere nothing ' s happening at all , and there ' s no reason why the next thing that happens couldn ' t have happened before the preceding ten minutes of wheel - spinning . this can be written off to sen being a rookie director with an as - yet unrefined style . but sen ' s appropriation of a well - known , previously - filmed story , not changing much of anything essential , and presenting it as a fictionalization sits a little weird .\ngulabi gang is more about what sampat pal stands for in bundelkhand , rather than an introduction to the group that is on its way to becoming a political party . jain spends no time on pal ' s own story , focussing instead on showing pal ' s importance in present times . for many , including the local police , pal is a troublemaker . to some , like soondhi whose daughter rajrani is killed by at her in - laws ' home , pal embodies hope . while rajrani ' s father and brother are easily convinced to sign documents that state rajrani committed suicide , soondhi wants justice for her daughter . realising the men in the family will not pick a fight with rajrani ' s husband or in - laws , soondhi turns to pal for help . pal doesn ' t just listen to soondhi , she also champions the mother ' s cause and files a case against rajrani ' s husband .\nwriter : nishtha jain , torstein grude . camera : rakesh haridas , torstein grude . sound : peter schultz , niraj gera , mateen ahmed . editing : arjun gourisaria , nishtha jain , erik andersson . music : peter scartabello . production : piray film as . producer : torstein grude . length : 96 min . international sales : kudos family as .\nnow , it remains to be seen if cate blanchett was right in suggesting there\u2019s a lucrative market in woman - centric films like this one . gulaab gang certainly deserves a warm reception , and sentimental overseas indian audiences should revel in the chance to spend three hours in the company of two of india\u2019s most graceful , charismatic actresses of a certain age as they battle memorably onscreen . but sen ' s unconventional approach may put off traditional bollywood audiences .\nradford ' s style in the movie is an interesting experiment . like chaplin in\nmodern times ,\nhe uses passages of dialogue that are not meant to be understood - - nonsense words and phrases , garbled as they are transmitted over big brother ' s primitive tv , and yet listened to no more or less urgently than the messages that say something . the 1954 film version of orwell ' s novel turned it into a cautionary , simplistic science - fiction tale . this version penetrates much more deeply into the novel ' s heart of darkness .\nmichael radford ' s brilliant film of orwell ' s vision does a good job of finding that line between the\nfuture\nworld of 1984 and the grim postwar world in which orwell wrote . the movie ' s 1984 is like a year arrived at through a time warp , an alternative reality that looks constructed out of old radio tubes and smashed office furniture . there is not a single prop in this movie that you couldn ' t buy in a junkyard , and yet the visual result is uncanny : orwell ' s hero , winston smith , lives in a world of grim and crushing inhumanity , of bombed factories , bug - infested bedrooms , and citizens desperate for the most simple pleasures .\nthis story is , of course , well known . 1984 must be one of the most widely read novels of our time . what is remarkable about the movie is how completely it satisfied my feelings about the book ; the movie looks , feels , and almost tastes and smells like orwell ' s bleak and angry vision . john hurt , with his scrawny body and lined and weary face , makes the perfect winston smith ; and richard burton , looking so old and weary in this film that it is little wonder he died soon after finishing it , is the immensely cynical o ' brien , who feels close to people only while he is torturing them . suzanna hamilton is julia , a fierce little war orphan whose rebellion is basically inspired by her hungers .\nthe role of vilas pandit , the closest aide of malik who appeared to be the consigliere of malik ' s gang , is believed to be a depiction of real - life d - company aide , counselor and dawood ibrahim ' s confidant sharad shetty . after the split between dawood and rajan , shetty was one of very few hindus left in the mainstream d - company . here it can be stated that the fate of shetty was correctly perceived in company . company showed vilas pandit was shot to death by chandu in hong kong when pandit went to chandu ' s place for an unprecedented meeting ; chandu misinterpreted his appearance as an attempted hit . real - life d - company counselor sharad shetty , too , was killed outside a dubai nightclub , by a hit carried out by chotta rajan . ironically this real - life hit was carried out eight months after the release of company which depicted a similar incident in the adopted storyline .\nthe film opens with smith rewriting history : his task is to change obsolete government documents so that they reflect current reality . he methodically scratches out old headlines , obliterates the photographs of newly made\nunpersons ,\nand attends mass rallies at which the worship of big brother alternates with numbing reports of the endless world war that is still going on somewhere , involving somebody . into smith ' s world comes a girl , julia , who slips him a note of stunning force . the note says ,\ni love you .\nsmith and julia become revolutionaries by making love , walking in the countryside , and eating strawberry jam . then smith is summoned to the office of o ' brien , a high official of the\ninner party ,\nwho seems to be a revolutionary too , and gives him the banned writings of an enemy of the state .\nziya us - salam of idlebrain gave a\nthumbs - up\nrating and said ,\nwatch company for three reasons . varma . mohan lal . vivek oberoi . mohan lal in his maiden hindi film venture , is a class act . as a south indian cop , his accent comes in handy . nothing overboard , everything poised about him . limited dialogues limitless gestures . then watch company for vivek oberoi . a star son of sorts - character artiste suresh oberoi is his father - never once does he give you an impression that he is making his debut here . his gaunt frame , hollow cheek bones and restlessness go well with his role of a new entrant into the underworld who knows no fear , respects no reputations and lives only on some tacit principles .\n[ 10 ] in one of the post - release interviews , director ram gopal varma apparently referred to mohanlal as the robert de niro of indian cinema .

bob to fight against the big wave , and they are also forced to leave their ship because it was in flames and all are trying to swim for their lives . when the sea seems to be calm lord rogers regain consciousness in a mysterious island but he can ' t find alise . then suddenly the boggs appear and they try to eat him but lord rogers uses his brilliant mind by saying the he is a chef and they began to split in two groups : one is the starfish group and the other is the coconut group , by wearing kitchen clothes .\noddly , given that part of the film ' s moral is\nlooks aren ' t all that matters\n, the bad guys are ugly and the good guys pretty ( though the hag does a heel face turn at the end which extends to the sequels , thus proving the moral right ) .\nprincesses rule : in the first movie , uberta mentions that she intends for derek to become king as soon as he takes a wife , and derek calls odette his\nfuture queen .\nin the sequels , however , derek and odette are still referred to as a prince and princess even after they ' re married and derek has taken over running the kingdom completely .\nsmart people play chess : averted in that the only two we seeing playing are derek and bromley , the former , while not stupid , is not the sharpest sword in the armory , and the latter loses while cheating .\n: pulled off literally by zelda as she writes the ransom letter in the third movie .\namusing injuries : the animals , fairly often - after they steal the map from the tower , for example . the human characters generally don ' t get these , with the notable exception of one point in the opening montage where you have the main characters - including odette - as kids getting involved in a goofy and haphazard accident and cutting away to the group of them in the traditional amusingly exaggerated slings and bandages .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\nvillainous legacy : rothbart in the first two sequels , and the forbidden arts as a whole .\nit is not the case with alise and lucas . they take turns holding the smart ball .\nreptiles are abhorrent : rothbart ' s alligators . on the other hand , one of the good guys is a turtle , one of the\ncute\ntypes of reptiles often excempted from the trope .\ncommon sense is the nation ' s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information , education , and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century .\nwriters cannot do math : in secret of the castle , uberta is said to be 50 , but she looked exactly the same at the start of the first film where she would have been around 30 .\na group of smart - talking toddlers find themselves at the center of a media mogul ' s experiment to crack the code to baby talk . the toddlers must race against time for the sake of babies everywhere .\nin the second film , clavius lets one out when he finds out the magical orb has been stolen .\nremember the new guy : in the original film , rothbart was working alone . the sequels retconned this by introducing clavius and zelda as old partners of his .\nunfortunately , the animation isn\u2019t quite as strong as the story . the movie doesn\u2019t sink to the level of video - game cg animation , but it\u2019s closer to that than disney - level . however , i\u2019m willing to give the filmmakers the benefit of the doubt and attribute that to a low budget . the songs tended to jar me out of the story , and they seemed sloppily written . there aren\u2019t too many songs , however , so that\u2019s not a huge problem . ( i\u2019ll admit that the lizards\u2019 chant is catchy , though ! )\nsomewhere in a mysterious island strange creatures boggs are living there and a shipwrecked boy named lucas . although that the boggs didn ' t know that he ' s there . he tries to get some food , by distracted them with animal noises . far away from this island , odette and derek are on they way to help the people by building a bridge leaving alise in care of queen uberta and lord rodgers and they animals friends : speed jean - bob , puffin and the scullions . queen uberta begins to prepare alise to learn how to be a and act like a princess . but alise doesn ' t want to be a princess in this way , but what she really wants , is be a modern princess . lord rogers says that alise needs adventure but queen uberta disagree . while fighting once again , alise uses her chance to swim in the lake with her friends but quickly she ' s sent back to the palace to learn to be proper . queen uberta seemed to be strict with her and teaches alise everything but she falls asleep , and she is getting to bed . the same night lord rogers , jean - bob and speed are trying to get alise out of her room and go for adventure .\nsuspect is hatless : describing the thing that killed everybody and stole the princess as\na great animal\nis not much help . at least king william provides some help (\nit ' s not what it seems\n, which derek manages to deduce meant a shape - shifter ) , but it still leaves derek with no clue of where to start looking , and as such almost accidentally kills odette .\nplayed for drama in the first film - odette does this when derek professes his love to the disguised hag .\neveryone can see it : by the time they ' re teenagers , bromley is teasing derek about his feelings for odette , and the entire village around the castle is singing about how they can ' t wait for the wedding .\nwilliam telling : this is one of the training methods employed by prince derek , only the plucky comic relief shoots the arrow and derek is supposed to turn and catch it .\ndisneyfication : the script changes to allow a happier ending are understandable , given that the original ballet had a downer ending .\nin the second movie , uberta receives a modern - style greeting card , which wouldn ' t be invented until the 1850s .\nbat scare : puffin encounters a swarm of bats in the first film - and ends up losing his feathers in the process .\ncheaters never prosper : in the first movie bromley tries cheating twice , first while playing chess with derek , then during the training session with the band , and he still loses both times .\nno name given : rothbart ' s hag sidekick in the first movie . in the sequels her name is revealed to be bridget .\nsealed with a kiss : at least three of the five movies end with derek and odette kissing , then the camera zooming out .\nconvection schmonvection : in the second film , the villain ' s lair is in a volcano , with a moat of boiling lava surrounding it . the only way to cross the moat is in a small wooden box pulled along by a rope and pulley system - all parts of which should easily have been incinerated within moments of exposure to the heat rising off the lava . also , at the end there is a great deal of frothing , exploding lava being tossed about - sometimes within millimeters of the heroes , and filling up the space directly below them completely - and none of them get even slightly scorched .\nrothbart ' s initial plan to marry odette has one big plot hole in it . . . marrying a mere princess would normally strip her of her own royalty , not elevate her husband . even if the throne could be inherited by a woman , odette would normally have to already be installed as queen for her to marry beneath her station without consequence , and even then , rothbart would normally be a prince - consort , not a king .\nsony home video provided me with a copy of the film in order to facilitate this review . the opinions i share are my own .\nmissing mom : odette ' s mother is never seen . the only mention we get of her is the phrase\nand to him a daughter was born\n, so she may have died during the birth .\nduring the opening song , derek and odette are playing poker as teenagers , which didn ' t exist until sometime in the 1800 ' s .\nan adorable group of talking baby - detectives travel to the deserts of egypt to track down the naughty baby - criminal mastermind ,\nbig baby ,\nand his partner , the super - villain\nmoriarty .\nin the second film , jean - bob is killed , and odette tries to revive him under the power of the moonlight as she waits to reverse her transformation ;

between his completely inept answer to odette ' s question of his love for her , hunting random wild animals without any discernible means by which to identify them as the great animal , or his failure to burn the notes to the forbidden arts in the third film for no other reason than he wanted to wait until after a festival , it ' s a wonder how derek manages an entire kingdom .\nanimated musical : similar to disney - style , the characters tend to sing about plot events or their emotions .\nbeleaguered assistant : chamberlain in the first film , since uberta is such a genki girl with a motor mouth .\nmy god , what have i done ? : derek has at least one such moment in the first three movies ; 1 ) when he is tricked into professing his love to the wrong woman by rothbart and thus triggering odette ' s untimely death , 2 ) when he fails to be there for his mother before she is kidnapped by clavius in the second movie , and 3 ) when zelda steals the notes to the forbidden arts after derek fails to destroy them promptly , a mistake that again leads to odette ' s death at zelda ' s hands later .\ncomment : expedited shipping available on this item . your item will be previously owned but still in great condition . the disc will play perfectly without interruption and the case , inlay notes and sleeve may show limited signs of wear .\njean - bob ' s delusional claims of being a prince are clearly a homage to the frog prince ;

it fails miserably .\n: puffin as\nno fear !\nwhich even gets it ' s own song , which itself has reprises through the series . he most often says it to jean - bob , who constantly lampshades it throughout the second movie .\nspeed has fewer lines but is voiced by steven wright in the first film so deadpan one - liners are expected .\nderek : the vow i made was for her ! ! ! rothbart : there ' s no need to shout .\nspecies surname : lieutenant puffin . the almost - certainly - not - canon - but - still - extant bonus features on the most dvd claim that his parents were so proud of being puffins they simply named him\npuffin\n."]}

now that your brain has adjusted to conditions at sea as ' normal ' you may need another period of adjustment when you disembark and return to firm ground . the ' drunken sailor walk ' is a common sight amongst those returning from a cruise , and fortunately for most people it is short lived ( no more than 24 hours ) . however , a few people will have trouble readjusting to life on land , and experience more prolonged land sickness ( in other words ' reverse sea sickness ' ) . medically this is known as mdds (\ni ' ve had times where i get\nland sick\nso bad that i ' m about to barff on the docks . but back on the boat i ' m fine . . .\nwe are very proud of our rum . there . we said it . it is distilled in small batches using american cane sugar . the result is a classic puerto rican style rum\u2014smokey , rich , spicy\u2014perfect for making mojitos , daiquiris , caipirissima ( same as caipirinhas but made with silver rum ) or classic cuba libres ( rum and coke ) . although , if you asked us , as with all our spirits , land legs is delish just on its own .\n. . . we ' ve been back since sunday , it ' s now friday and all of us are still feeling a bit wobbly , it gets better by the day , but we had no idea that getting your sea legs meant giving up your land legs as much as we have . . . . . . how long does it usually take ? by the way , we ' re all first timers , so we don ' t have any previous experience to draw upon . . . . . . thanks . . . cheers , the imagineers ncl cruise on the wind -

savior film . much like matt damon with ancient china in the great wall or tom cruise in the last samurai , in la la land , the fate of a minority group depends on the efforts of a well - intentioned white man : gosling ' s character wants to play freestyle jazz instead of the christmas jingles he\u2019s been hired to perform because , damn it , if the people can\u2019t hear real jazz , then it\u2019s going to cease to exist .\nthat is what we around here call pcd : post cruise depression when we went on ncl dawn last year , i was holding onto walls while walking down the hallway for days . it didn ' t completely go away for 6 weeks ! ! ! i have vertigo so i ' m sure that compounded it . it ' s funny , though , it was completely gone after i booked another cruise . . . . . . hmmmmmm . . . . seriously though , some folks say to take an anti -

saving hardware . this became evident when a bad landing caused one of the landing legs of the drone to break rendering it useless ! although a factory manufactured replacement leg is cheap , only costing a few bucks , the material is a relatively flimsy plastic which would most likely break during the next bad landing . so , the carova land rescue team and the carova sea rescue team got together and decided we could make a drone leg better than the original .\ni certainly have mdds as well after living aboard for years . last winter on land , i noticed my sense of balance was off . it always felt like i was walking around on the boat . however ( luckily ) , once i started moving in any way other than walking , my balance was fine . so fortunately , my snowboarding wasn ' t affected !\ni took natural dramamine with ginger in it and i had a couple alcohol shots while i was on my cruise , but now i ' m here on land for 4 days and still feel like i feel the emotion of the boat rocking back and forth . that ' s what i feel like when i am walking . have i done something wrong by mixing the two things ?\n. . . . in mdds , the symptoms * may persist for a month ( or more ) , and possibly many years . this differs from the very common condition of\nland sickness\n( sea legs ) that most people feel for a short time after a motion event such as a boat cruise . * the symptoms most frequently reported include : a persistent sensation of motion usually described as rocking , swaying , or bobbing ; difficulty maintaining balance ; extreme fatigue ; difficulty concentrating (\nbrain fog\n) ; dizziness , headaches and / or migraine headaches , confusion , and anxiety . many patients also describe ear symptoms such as hyperacusis , tinnitus ,\nfullness\n, pain , or even decreased hearing . cognitive impairment (\nbrain fog\n) includes an inability to recall words , short term memory loss , and an inability to multi - task .\nthe way you move also can help you prevent knee injuries . if your sport involves a lot of jumping , make sure to bend your knees when you land , which takes pressure off of the acl . do you have to cut laterally or pivot frequently in your sport ? use your joints to crouch and bend at the knees and hips , reducing your chance of a ligament injury .\ndamien chazelle likes jazz music . but more than blaming his musical obsession for la la land , i suppose i can blame carl van vechten . it is , after all , van vechten ' s 1926 novel nigger heaven that fueled white interest in the harlem renaissance and led to the gentrification of the neighborhood\u2019s nightclubs and brownstones . white interest in harlem and jazz music became widespread and likely indirectly led to chazelle\u2019s father\u2019s interest in jazz . after a november screening of la la land , chazelle regaled a crowd at the chateau marmont with a story about how his father influenced his love for the genre : \u201che was a jazz obsessive and made sure that i listened to it . . . . i love jazz and i grew up playing jazz drums , so it\u2019s always been the music i\u2019ve felt most connected to . \u201d\ni don ' t usually have a problem adjusting to being back on land - what i do have a problem adjusting to is having to get my wallet out each time i buiy something . a person gets used to just signing their name ! i still remember my first cruise , getting off the ship , arriving at the airport , buying a candy bar - and it took me a full minute to realize the clerk wanted money ! boy was my face red ! ! ! made me want to get back on the ship !\nit certainly varies for me - - some times i feel the land rocking for days , and other times not at all . i kind of like it , since if i close my eyes i get to pretend i ' m back on the boat ( although i do remember waking up in a hotel bed in honolulu , holding the edge of the mattress in a death - grip and convinced that i was about to be pitched onto the floor ) . what is strange to me is that after a long passage i sometimes feel completely solid once on shore , but then motion starts up a day or two later .\ni took me a good 5 - 6 days to lose that feeling of the motion of the ocean . however , i wore the patch when i was on the ship , and took it off the second we were on land . i have since been told that it is best to leave it on for a few days so that the medicine can slowly leave your system as the patch loses effectiveness . some people wind up taking a bonine , dramamine , gravol or meclazine just to get rid of the wooziness . it will definitely disappear , but once it does , you know it is time to start looking for another cruise ! ! !\non our first cruise , i didn ' t feel any after effects . on the second one , i had that feeling for a day . it seems to get last longer after each subsequent cruise . after our last trans , it wasn ' t completely gone for about 2 - 3 months . toward the end of the time , the feeling comes and goes . i love the rocking motion of the ship and am not ill at all . since i am naturally clumsy on land and seem to be perfectly okay on the ship , hubby insists that my equilibrium is normally off - kilter so that on the ship with the swaying i am normal .\nnext , the two boxes are seperated and the object is removed . because the casting sand is sticky and will retain its shape , when the two box are brought back together a hollow cavity exist in the shape of the object we will cast . pour holes and vent holes are made and molten hot aluminium is poured into the pour hole and fills up the cavity . once the aluminium cools and hardens the aluminium can be safely removed from the sand . if all goes well then the new cast should be nearly identical to the original . many thanks to joe cloonan from the sea rescue team for his knowledge and casting skills ! ! as it turned out , land & sea rescue teams did quite an impressive job \ud83d\ude42\nfreeze : gather players in the shallow end of the pool . define the boundaries of play so that everyone can stand up in the water . adults should play on their knees ! one person is designated as the\nit .\nat the sound of the whistle ,\nit\nhas one minute to tag as many other players as he can . once a person is tagged , that player must stand still ( freeze ) and raise his hand . before a frozen player can return to action , an unfrozen player must thaw him out by submerging and swimming through his legs . a player cannot be tagged and frozen if he is underwater . at the end of the minute , blow the whistle and designate an unfrozen player as\nit .\nkeep this game going until everyone has had a chance to be\nit .\nthe winner is whoever has the most frozen players at the end of his stint as\nit .\ni ' ve had times where i get\nland sick\nso bad that i ' m about to barff on the docks but back on the boat , i ' m fine . . . the wife says its\npay - back\ntime for laughing at her while she had her head over the side . . she used to feel bad for being sick the first day out on a long trip but we stopped into the west marine ' s book store , in sausalito , a couple years ago and while talking to the woman who ran the place , the woman told her to be grateful as when she went out for a long passage , she was sick for the first five days . the wife dosen ' t feel so bad anymore . . . . . .\nif this sounds exceptionally nitpicky , my gripe certainly isn\u2019t eating me alive in a season populated by such great films as moonlight , hidden figures , and fences . but you should also know that la la land opens with a stunning and visually masterful dance sequence sung by an incredibly diverse group of los angeles denizens \u2014 but after the song concludes , we immediately cut to stone in her car on the way to an audition and her love story with gosling begins when he honks his horn at her on the freeway . those people of color who gave it their all in the opening sequence , perhaps to remind oscar voters of that hamilton musical they love so much , are quickly whisked away so the caucasian sing - along can begin . it\u2019s hard to be upset when the whiplash ( yeah , whiplash ) is so immediate . frankly , it\u2019s fucking hilarious .\nchazelle\u2019s aforementioned first film , guy and madeline on a park bench , actually stars a black man ( jason palmer ) and a latina woman ( desiree garcia ) . but that was the debut indie film of a harvard graduate , not a studio film with a $ 30 million budget . why tell the story more authentically when you can just try to recreate gosling and stone\u2019s film chemistry ( presumably from crazy , stupid , love and not the flop gangster squad ) ? according to variety , chazelle spoke to michael b . jordan about portraying gosling\u2019s role at one point , but that possibility imagines lionsgate either producing an oscar - contending film about two black people struggling through the world of jazz music rather than slavery or jordan courting a white actress for a modern update of save the last dance . both scenarios seem implausible . an advertisement for van vechten\u2019s 1926 novel in the new yorker once asked , \u201cwhy go to harlem cabarets when you can read nigger heaven ? \u201d perhaps now you could just watch la la land .\nupdate , 1 : 20 pm pt : alfonso cuaron \u2019s jury for the 72nd venice film festival spread out its prizes across several well - received titles tonight , but it also shut out some performances and critical favorites which had been among the most discussed . what\u2019s more , it made history by giving the first golden lion ever to a latin american film .\nthat drama , from afar ( desde alla ) , is also the first feature by helmer lorenzo vigas and the first ever venice entry from venezuela . the plot centers on a wealthy middle - aged man who falls for a street thug , changing both their lives . it\u2019s based on a story by 21 grams writer guillermo arriaga .\ncoming into the fest , chief alberto barbera had told me that latin america was \u201c one of the most interesting areas from the point of view of emerging talent . \u201d it was also well - represented in the awards with argentina\u2019s pablo trapero taking the best director silver bear for el clan . the film , about the murderous , kidnapping puccio family of the 1980s , has been a box office smash at home for fox international productions which also has u . s .\nin a post - ceremony news conference tonight , cuaron rejected a suggestion that his mexican heritage may have been an influence on the outcome of the jury\u2019s deliberations . \u201ci have as much sway as the king or queen of sweden . my role is more representative than anything else . even if i had wanted ( to support latin america ) it would have been a bigger conspiracy and i would have had to share the money , \u201d he joked .\ndespite widespread praise throughout the fest , the folks that didn\u2019t get lido callbacks for tonight\u2019s awards ceremony included the danish girl \u2018s eddie redmayne and alicia vikander ; along with a bigger splash \u2018s ralph fiennes . cuaron said of the jury\u2019s choices in general , \u201cthis is not a testament of a universal truth . this is just this decision of this group of people . you know if you put the same films with a different group of people , you would have a different result . an award doesn\u2019t prove much . the only thing that proves something is time and history . \u201d\nit might be worth remembering that birdman and michael keaton left the lido empty - handed last year .\namong the popular choices that did take a nod was charlie kaufman and duke johnson\u2019s stop - motion brainteaser anomalisa which scooped the grand jury prize . the existential musing is one of the hot acquisition titles in toronto and scored a huge round of applause from the press corps when its name was called here tonight .\nalso getting his fair share of applause was abraham attah , the beasts of no nation star who won the best new young actor award . in the film , netflix\u2019s first major feature attempt at awards season glory , attah plays the child soldier recruited by idris elba\u2019s warlord . in a press conference last week he was clearly shy in communicating with reporters . tonight on stage , he seemed far more polished , thanking the festival , the jury , the producers , his fellow actors , elba and netflix .\nfrench veteran fabrice luchini was named best actor for l\u2019hermine , which also took best screenplay . italy\u2019s own valeria golino was best actress for giuseppe gaudino\u2019s per amor vostro , a drama about a neopolitan woman struggling to overcome depression .\na standout in the horizons section was brady corbet\u2019s the childhood of a leader . corbet has been a longtime actor and this is his debut feature as helmer . the drama took the best first film prize as well as best director after falling apart several times in production and leading him to near despair , he said . he\u2019d already been back in upstate new york yesterday when he go the call to come back \u2014 looks like the trip was worth it .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 penske business media , llc . all rights reserved . hollywood\u2122 & design \u00a9 2018 hollywood chamber of commerce . the hollywood sign is a trademark and intellectual property of hollywood chamber of commerce . all rights reserved .\nurltoken unabridged based on the random house unabridged dictionary , \u00a9 random house , inc . 2018\nsometimes it depends on your length of your cruise . with us it usually takes 3 to 5 days to totally forget you aren ' t on the ship anymore . have a great next cruise .\n* 3rd time is not a charm . . . 5th time is ! *\nthe effects are different for every person . i get it after every cruise , even with very smooth ocean conditions . i just continue taking dramamine for a week after i return home . it ' s your inner ear readjusting to the lack of motion after having adjusted to the motion of the sea . i ' m the only one in my family who gets it . while some think it ' s not a big deal , it is very bothersome for me , it ' s not fun at all .\ni think it also has to do with the length of the cruise . my first 2 cruises were very short ( first one we missed the boat . . . caught up to the boat on the last day of a 3 night cruise 2nd cruise was to nowhere . . only 2 nights . . . . felt fine afterwards . . . 3rd cruise 4 nights to key west and cozumel . . . . was holding on to walls for 3 -

72 hours of boarding the boat or ship . some people will need longer for their symptoms to completely disappear , however . and an unlucky few will never fully adjust to the ship ' s movements . i ' ve read estimates that around 5 % of people are prone to severe and chronic sea sickness . nelson and darwin are both thought to have been chronic sufferers ( although neither can be said to have allowed sea sickness to have stood in their way ! ) .\nhow can you encourage your brain to adjust and develop tolerance ? well , unfortunately there isn ' t much you can do other than be patient and wait . do keep off alcohol and greasy and fatty foods , and follow the tips on the\npages . you can also experiment with trips on different types of boats and ships to see which you adjust to quickest and most easily . sailing boats , ferries , catamarans , hovercrafts and cruise ships all have different patterns of movement . your brain may well find it easier to adjust to some patterns than others .\nsee preventing motion sickness : overview of the options for more helpful suggestions on how to alleviate sea sickness , including remedies , treatments and medications .\nstephanie , i feel the same way . i just got home from a cruise . it will be one week on tuesday , please tell me you are fine now . thanks !\ncopyright \u00a9 2011 -

one could not fault him too much for choosing to give the audience what it both expects and enjoys .\n\u201cwomen of the night\u201d is one of the features included in the eclipse box ; the others are his twinned masterpieces of 1936 , \u201cosaka elegy\u201d and \u201csisters of the gion , \u201d and his final film , the anomalously bright , harsh \u201cstreet of shame\u201d ( 1956 ) . all of his major creative phases are covered : the romantic , expressionist - tinged work of the silent and early sound periods ; the politically engaged work of the postwar period , influenced by italian neo - realism ; and the final creative surge of the 1950s , in which a distanced , contemplative tone conveys an infinite solicitude for human suffering , balanced by a sense of its insignificance in the cosmic order .\nthe film i\u2019ve chosen is the one that authoritative sources , including mizoguchi himself , cite as his breakthrough into artistic maturity , osaka elegy , from 1936 . having perfected his technical chops for over a decade cranking out dozens of short features in japan\u2019s silent film era , mizoguchi found his voice in this story that depicts a modern , independent - minded woman\u2019s struggle with the burdens imposed upon her by cruel and manipulative men . among her exploiters are her own father and brother , oblivious to the sacrificial lengths she goes to in order to enable their security , as well as the corporate bosses who employ her , first as a switchboard operator , and later for their own carnal pleasures .\nperhaps osaka elegy introduces these themes in such a personal , universal way because it represents the first instance of one of mizoguchi\u2019s plots coming close to his own autobiography . in the film , ayako , a telephone operator , is bound by the codes of filial piety to sacrifice herself for the needs of the men in her family . her father arranges for her to become a mistress to his boss , asai , and to work towards cancelling the debts he has accumulated in a failed embezzlement scheme . ayako\u2019s earnings also help her brother hiroshi with his school tuition . mizoguchi\u2019s sister suzu was herself sold by their father into prostitution at 14 to cover for a failed business gamble . with the money suzu raised , young kenji was able to enroll in art school .\nbut rather than serving up ayako\u2019s downfall as a moralistic cautionary tale to warn young women about making the wrong choices at the formative stages of life , mizoguchi has a larger point to make about the society he was a part of and the corruption at the top of the class hierarchy that created the wretched scenario of osaka elegy . and so he begins his story by focusing on a sad and rather repulsive couple , the asais . sonosuke asai is the president of asai pharmaceutical company , a prominent businessman in the industrial city of osaka , who ascended to that highly respectable station in life by marrying his wife sumiko , heiress to her family business and considerable wealth . that crass motivation is about the only thing that holds them together , as we quickly learn over the course of a painful breakfast encounter where they shamelessly quarrel and mock each other in front of their guest , dr . yoko . you can tell that sonosuke is an evil corrupt man by the harsh light that flares off his lenses in the picture above , and the pained expression on dr . yoko\u2019s face as his supposedly respectable hosts do their best to humiliate each other in his presences speaks eloquently as well .\nnobuyuki was born blind but that did not stop him from learning to play the classical piano . nobuyuki developed a passion for music at a very young age , having played jingle bells at two and performed with the osaka century symphony when he was twelve . he went on to become the world\u2019s first blind pianist to win the van cliburn international piano competition in 2009 , in a tie with zheng haochen from china .\nboth osaka elegy and sisters of the gion could have easily slipped into\ncrime doesn ' t pay moralizing ,\nand had these been post - code american movies , they probably would have . what mizoguchi has done is progressive , but he ' s sly about it . the drama is nuanced enough that neither the women nor those who dismiss them are completely right or wrong , and that ' s all the more daring when you think about it . people love absolutes , and they love to be absolved . mizoguchi has taken a chance in confronting these cultural standards head - on and examining them honestly , putting blame where it belongs , including with some who may be watching . it ' s a gamble that pays off . both films continue to be relevant nearly eighty years later , which is a sad commentary all on its own .\ninstead , mizoguchi has ayako striding purposefully , not so much with confidence as with sheer determination , into a future certainly fraught with risk and with little promise of reward or lasting vindication . but ayako will face it on her terms \u2013 her abrupt turn and straight - on gaze into the camera at the end has a 23 - year jump on antoine doinel\u2019s similar move at the conclusion of the 400 blows . ( maybe if mizoguchi had gone with the freeze frame here he\u2019d get more credit ? i dunno . ) audiences of the time probably had little sense of how impressively mizoguchi would build upon this final flourish , or the magnitude of achievements yet to come . for those like me who mainly know him for his later award - winning masterpieces like ugetsu or sansho the bailiff , osaka elegy is an essential re - introduction to a phenomenal cinematic artist .\nas the plot grows more complex and ayako becomes ever more entangled in the web of exploitation , mizoguchi throws in other elements that add a touch of fascination to osaka elegy . part of the \u201cluxury\u201d that sonosuke offers to placate ayako , perhaps to obscure the extent that she\u2019s being used , is an evening\u2019s outing to the theater , where she accompanies him in the attire of a respectable married woman . the night\u2019s entertainment is a puppet show , featuring another squabbling couple , with a female manikin poignantly operated by a male puppeteer . tipped off that her husband is out on the town with another woman , sumiko arrives to create a scene aimed at shaming her husband , but once again a crafty man in charge steps up to improvise a false alibi on the spur of the moment , that at least buys sonosuke a bit of time before his house of cards inevitably falls .\ngregory - - you are , of course , free to read the film any way you prefer . but i think it is safe to say that both mizoguchi and his intended audience viewed the ending as\ngood\neven if not , strictly speaking ,\nhappy\n. is the ending of traviata\nhappy\n- - of course not . but it is as positive an ending as the poor heroine could have expected . female self sacrifice for problematic males is an operatic staple ( viz . both puccini and wagner , in particular ) . and both mizoguchi and his screenwriter were quite aware of these operatic precedents . mizoguchi ' s most genuinely feminist - ish films are probably osaka elegy , uwasa no onna and aien kyo ( straits of love and hate ) - - where male authority is ultimately rather thoroughly blown off . it is too bad aien kyo is unavailable in any decent version ( even unsubbed ) .\nin the osaka films mizoguchi almost seems reluctant to intrude on the privacy of his characters . his camera remains withdrawn , even abashed ; there is no cross - cutting to draw us into the drama , no tearful close - ups to solicit our sympathy . in \u201cstreet of shame , \u201d made 20 years later and set in the yoshiwara district of tokyo , mizoguchi\u2019s method has been reversed . even at night , this is a brightly lighted world , flooded with neon .\nin \u201cosaka\u201d the delicate , long - faced ms . yamada is a switchboard operator who is forced into an affair with her boss to repay the money embezzled by her worthless father ( a character said to be based on mizoguchi\u2019s own father ) . delicate and retiring at first , she emerges from the film a hardened , ruthless woman . in the famous final shot she strides directly into a confrontational close - up , as if she were about to denounce the public for its complicity in her plight .\nin addition to the conniving of her adversaries and the maddening series of desperate compromises to which she resorts in order to rescue her ungrateful family , mizoguchi pulls us into ayako\u2019s dilemma through forebodingly bleak visual compositions . this is indeed one of the darkest films i\u2019ve seen in a long time \u2013 not merely thematically in its portrayal of social relationships , but also in the utter absence of light . huge swaths of opaque blackness crowd in around the perimeters of most scenes , with most shots framed at a distance and only a few strategically placed close - ups to bring us near to the perspective of our protagonist . this video clip , an interesting fan edit of \u201cthe second film hidden between the moments , \u201d offers a good sampling of mizoguchi\u2019s technique , sans actors . some of the charcoal haze through which we view osaka elegy is undoubtedly attributable to the effects of time and minimal efforts at film restoration . while a more pristine print would be nice to have at our disposal , this is an instance where one could argue that erosion enhances the atmosphere mizoguchi intended to create .\nsonosuke asai ( benkei shiganoya ) is the owner of asai pharmaceuticals , a typical , bossy osaka businessman who prays for his own wealth and health , while finding fault with everyone around him . he badgers his daughters and treats them like servants . he criticizes his wife sumiko ( y\u00f4ko umemura ) for being independent and remarks there ' s no fun in their marriage anymore . but she calls him out and challenges him to take on a young mistress if he ' s so unhappy , knowing he doesn ' t have the guts .\n. filmed in the same year , both movies portray women who use their sexuality to gain power and money . in both films , the main characters are deeply disappointed with the actions of the men they become involved with . the films are deeply similar , with the women challenging why they must suffer for their families , the use of extremely long takes , and many close - ups of the protagonists . mizoguchi once said of the two films ,\nit is only since i made naniwa elegy and sisters of gion that i have been able to portray humanity lucidly .\nas in most of mizoguchi\u2019s films , women play a special role . more often than not , his films portray the role of women in society as tragic . women in mizoguchi films usually represent the backbone of society \u2014 they are expected to be loyal wives , good mothers , obedient daughters , dependant carers and models of purity . such expectations placed upon mizoguchi\u2019s women compel them to seek independence in society , but ultimately they end up succumbing to the hypocrisy of its moral expectations . ayako\u2019s role in naniwa elegy is a prime example of this thematic trait , and is one of cinema\u2019s strongest and most poignant critiques on the problems of patriarchal society .\nfor mizoguchi \u201cosaka\u201d and \u201csisters\u201d represented a radical stylistic breakthrough : the relatively conventional editing patterns of his earlier films vanish almost completely , to be replaced by long takes and slow , graceful camera movements . scenes are often illuminated by a single light source that isolates the characters in a pale , luminous pool surrounded by absolute darkness . the frame seems to lose its edges : all that exists is a cone of light at the center of the screen . the influence of german expressionism is apparent , but mizoguchi takes the style one step further . these are not characters threatened by or struggling with an encroaching darkness , but individuals trying to generate some light and warmth in a world that has long gone dead .\nayako murai ( isuzu yamada ) is a young woman working as a telephone operator in 1930s osaka . in order to pay the debts of her father , unemployed and threatened with arrest after embezzling 300 yen , she agrees to become the mistress of her employer mr . asai . after paying her father ' s debts she then continues working as a mistress , this time for another workplace admirer , mr fujino , in an attempt to help pay her brother hiroshi ' s university tuition fees . when she attempts to fool mr fujino into giving her extra money , so she can marry her boyfriend nishimura , he calls the police and she is arrested for soliciting . upon her return home she is ostracised by her family and her boyfriend and forced to leave home .\nnaniwa elegy is a bitter film . there is no other way to suitably describe it , especially in terms of its narrative effect . the story looks at ayako murai ( played by isuzu yamada ) , a young female telephone switchboard operator whose life progressively spirals downwards through her interaction with society . mizoguchi presents human interaction in the most clinical fashion possible . the relationships presented , especially between ayako and her male acquaintances , lack compassion , and their meetings are treated as a series of transactions , where ayako always seems to get exploited . for example , ayako\u2019s father tries to sell her off to settle his debts , her brother steals her money so that he may attend college , and her fianc\u00e9 refuses to see her as a suitable partner in society . finally , although she has done as much as possible for her family , she is still scolded as defiant , rebellious and ultimately immoral . as you can see through ayako\u2019s struggles , mizoguchi paints a rather scornful image of the problems with a capitalist patriarchal society .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ? enter your email address and we ' ll send you instructions on how to access your account .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\n( 1936 ) is one of two films that the japanese filmmaker kenji mizoguchi directed for the daiichi eiga studio in kyoto . the other was\n( 1936 ) , and both are considered among mizoguchi ' s most accomplished films . through the plight of asako murai , a young switchboard operator who is compelled to become a mistress to her boss in order to pay off her father ' s debts , mizoguchi comments on the precarious status of women in society , a frequently recurring theme in his films .\nat this point in his career , mizoguchi had already directed dozens of films - - his first feature was released in 1923 - - but most of them unfortunately do not survive . even so ,\ndemonstrates the considerable skill he had acquired with long takes and staging in depth . examples of these techniques include the lateral tracking shot that follows asako and her boyfriend nishimura when they walk through the department store , and the meticulously staged scenes when asako ' s boss asai propositions her and when asako finally confesses to nishimura .\nwas notable its use of kansai regional dialect . mizoguchi ' s scriptwriter yoshikata yoda later commented ,\nfor the first time in japanese cinema the kansai accent , which up till then had only been used in comedy , became an authentic dramatic language .\nkirihara further notes that the character of ayako is an example of a\n, a modern and assertive young woman in japan during the 1920s and 1930s , something equivalent to a flapper in the west , thus giving her character a distinct meaning for japanese audiences of that period .\n(\nnew school\n) , a genre of stage melodrama in japan that often focused on the sufferings of female characters . although it was influenced by romantic melodramas from the west , the\nstage tradition retained elements of kabuki theater , such as having male actors play women ' s roles . considering that mizoguchi himself began his career at the nikkatsu studio directing\nfilms , perhaps it is not surprising that he we would want to collaborate with her . yamada ' s first film with mizoguchi was\n( 1934 ) , though that film no longer survives . by the time she made\n, she was just nineteen . not only did yamada became mizoguchi ' s favorite actress during this time , but he fell in love with her as he did with several of this other lead actresses throughout his life .\nyamada writes about her experiences with mizoguchi in her 1953 autobiography :\nmizoguchi - san was always very nice but when work started he became difficult . physically too , the work was extremely strenuous . i am certain it was in the\n. in 2000 she received the order of culture from the emperor of japan .\nthe studio daiichi eiga ( number one film ) started in 1934 with financial support by shochiku and was headed by nagata masakazu , who had come from nikkatsu . mizoguchi ' s scriptwriter yoshikata yoda recalls that this group of men at nikkatsu frequently brawled with each other , even dumping men into the chemical bath for developing film . the studio ultimately made only a handful of films before closing down . masakazu later worked with mizoguchi again at daiei , in the later years of mizoguchi ' s career .\n' s ending was too abrupt . during a panel discussion , kotaro yamamoto commented ,\nthe public is shocked to be so brutally expelled from these stories .\nfuyuhiko kitagawa further said ,\nends with a scene in which people are simply walking out of the frame , and i think the public can ' t be satisfied with something so unusual !\neven mizoguchi expressed doubts in this regard , although the lengthy close -

respect . unfortunately for ayako , his path to that flimsy imitation of redemption crosses her own , as she finds herself in a vulnerable position not through any mistakes on her part , but because of her scoundrel of a father , who\u2019s gotten in trouble for petty embezzlement that is beyond his capacity to repay when suspicious company officials come around , offering him a last chance to avoid public exposure of his crime . instead of manning up and taking responsibility for his actions , he flatters himself with excuses and berates his daughter for confronting him ( bluntly , for sure , but deservedly so ) with the truth .\nsensing her vulnerability instinctively like the opportunistic vulture that he is , presuming a lack of virtue because of her unapologetic modernity , and clearly recognizing her beauty , sonosuke summons up what little charm he can muster to make a move on ayako , and backs it up with his undeniable advantage : money .\nthough she bravely thwarts his proposition at first , ayako\u2019s own predicament suddenly gets worse when her father all but kicks her out of the house after an unvarnished exchange of words brings them both to the boiling point . ayako has had enough . she leaves home , giving up her menial job , even disappearing for a short while from her young and genial boyfriend nishimura , in order to take matters into her own hands . she accepts sonosuke\u2019s offer of an exchange : if she resigns herself to the boredom and debasement of being his kept woman , he\u2019ll provide a discreet apartment and resolution of her father\u2019s legal crisis . ayako does this mainly for the sake of her younger sister who has no ability to care for herself , but also because she recognizes that there\u2019s no one else capable of managing the problem any better .\nthe whirlwind of deceit and hypocrisy continues to pick up speed , to the point where ayako herself gets caught up in the maelstrom , resorting to her own devices of trickery in order to gain a measure of revenge and , if they\u2019re willing to see it , reveal to the manipulative men around her just how depraved they\u2019ve become . turning the tables on fujino , to whom she became a mistress after her arrangement with sonosuke collapsed , ayako thinks she\u2019s achieved the upper hand in her dealings with men , especially now in her newfound confidence that nishimura will take her as his wife .\nbut that sense of optimism is so very short - lived , as ayako discovers that even the kind - hearted man she had confidence in is no match for the cynical determination of those in authority to crush any challenges to their rule . as fujino brings in the law , supremely assured of its willingness to side with him against a lowly and easily vilified woman in this dispute , whatever feelings of love nishimura once expressed for her quickly whither under the pressure of an investigator\u2019s reprimands . the tough cop , played by a young and only distantly visible takashi shimura ( years before he became a favorite lead actor of akira kurosawa\u2019s ) , demonstrates the pitiless severity of a patriarchal status quo that doesn\u2019t have to exert much effort in order to keep its citizens in line . even those who , like ayako , find it within themselves to rebel against injustice quickly find themselves isolated and without allies , however plain and morally defensible their cause might be .\ndavid and william provide a spoiler -

pleasing formulas providing melodramas that led to satisfying , expected resolutions . the plots of these films were usually based in the home and rarely referenced the wars outside , except in the simplistic and bloodless terms of honour and glory .\nayako serves as an illustration of the contradictory philosophies that , in mizoguchi\u2019s view , left japanese women few options but a life of ultimate misery . honouring the family led to misery because parents were often unworthy of and ungrateful for the sacrifices made by female family members , using their children as disposable resources , not individual lives . becoming an expressive individual led to misery because no japanese man would take a woman not supported by her family and the group - oriented society would not support an individual , leading to further isolation . as ayako continues to rebel and struggle to maintain dignity in her own way , she is forced out by the men around her \u2013 father , brother , boyfriend . these men are disgusted by her actions \u2013 even though they arranged and approved of them \u2013 while still taking the money and reaping the benefits . by the final exhausting close -

1956 ) was not a christian , this is a theme he often drapes in christian imagery : a woodcut of a madonna and child appears under the opening credits of \u201coyuki the virgin , \u201d a 1935 story of a geisha ( isuzu yamada ) who offers herself to an army officer to save the lives of a group of ungrateful bourgeois travelers . ( the film is based on the same maupassant story that john ford turned into \u201cstagecoach\u201d ) .\nin \u201cwomen of the night\u201d ( 1948 ) a band of prostitutes gathers in a bombed - out church to administer a brutal beating to fusako ( kinuyo tanaka ) , one of their own who has dared to dream of going straight . these women are not saints or martyrs \u2014 for mizoguchi , there is no next world in which they might receive their reward \u2014 but , more concretely and more movingly , mere human beings whose strength of character sets them apart , the true aristocrats of a fallen world .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nthe principal setting is dreamland , a tatty brothel with half a dozen employees living out the last of its days before prostitution is outlawed in japan . instead of darkness , the characters seem to be surrounded by mirrors , trapped inside multiple , dehumanizing images of themselves . the ruthlessness of the yamada character has been transferred to yasumi ( ayako wakao ) , the most beautiful of the prostitutes , as well as the most heartless . ( she augments her income by making small loans to her co - workers at high interest rates . ) her softer \u201csister\u201d is now hanae ( michiyo kogure ) , who works to support her invalid husband and young son .\nbut mizoguchi seems most fascinated by another figure , the flamboyant mickey ( machiko kyo ) . as her permed hair , toreador pants and western name suggest , she represents something new in postwar japan . her blunt , brassy sexuality contradicts the geisha\u2019s world of cultured illusion . yet mizoguchi expresses no nostalgia for the passing of that profession . he seems even to locate an element of hope in mickey\u2019s physicality and candor , which grant no quarter to traditional hypocrisies .\nbut if mickey represented something new in mizoguchi , the director was unable to explore it further : six months after the release of \u201cstreet of shame , \u201d he died at 58 , and an immense career was cut short .

woman possessing a keen sense of humor , \u201d safi faye believes that a structure must bear the signature of the film . although she is careful not to criticize her counterparts in other african film practice , she does allude to the differences separating her from them in matters of technique and ideology . this interview was conducted in french and translated by kathryn lauten . it has been extracted from the book : questioning african cinema : conversations with filmmakers by frank nwachukwu ukadike and teshome h . gabriel . also spoiler alert if you haven\u2019t seen the films and don\u2019t wish to know major details .\nyou have made history , then , in being the first black woman to make a feature - length film .\nactually , i am the first black woman to make any films - i did a short film in 1972 . the title of the film is la passante , and it is only ten minutes long . am i the only woman , the only active black woman in feature film making in africa today ? surely i am not ! a lot has changed .\nas a young woman i was very enthusiastic about documenting the lives of the peasant community , the farmers , where i come from . i wanted to film their preoccupations , to tell their stories . they live in this world like any other people ; they are happy , maybe , but not often . in their society , they can live only if they can cultivate their lands . but they face two handicaps\u2014 the problem of inadequate rainfall , which causes drought , and that of government exploitation . i felt i must tell their stories my own way\u2014 through film . when i was doing my fieldwork and examinations in ethnology for my second degree at the university , i gathered a lot of research materials and resources in the community .\nyou just mentioned your training as an ethnologist and anthropologist . that shows in all of your films through your careful observation and how you apply your research . your films are different from western ethnographic films about africa . in making your films , how do you stay back to let the action happen uninterrupted and to let the camera capture that action ? that is one of the greatest attributes that makes your films so powerful .\nactually , it is difficult to say . maybe it is my kind of writing , or my sensibility . each filmmaker has his own sensibility . for me a film has to have a particular structure or distinctive hallmark . sometimes it is hard to explain how that structure was realized or how the entire film was made . ideas come in a flash and so does the creative impulse that drives the whole initiative . it also depends on the circumstances surrounding the making of the film . i may be reacting this way because i had to fight a lot to save my last film , mossane , and now i have no more ideas . i am afraid to make films again . before i had a lot of ideas . i am sure , though , that all the films i made happened because i admired and liked the people and like to show that via the film medium .\nyou are a member of the village so you are looking from inside as opposed to other people who look from the outside , at what they call \u201cexotic cultures . \u201d that is the difference that separates your films from , for example , the films of jean rouch .\nyes , but also other african filmmakers could make films like me , but they are preoccupied more with cities and towns than the places of their origins . i don\u2019t like the city .\nit is because of how the farmers told their stories . they said it was true that governments cheat on them when they come to buy their produce . the government was embarrassed and did not like being exposed . so the criticism made the government censors intimidate me by ordering me to cut two segments of the film . one segment is the sequence where the children played . in one scene the children narrate how they saw the government officials arrive to collect money from their parents . for some parents , this is a humiliating experience , and when the government officials arrive to harass them they would ask the children to leave home and go elsewhere to play .\nanother part they asked me to cut concerns what happens when the government buys the goods from the peasants . they pay a certain compensation for the cash crops bought , but it is only when the farmer returns home that he finds out from others that the government took advantage of his lack of education and gave him less than the agreed - upon amount . the censors insisted that i eliminate these two sequences but i refused to comply . i make my films alone without government money , and i find it unacceptable to comply with government censors who want to cut my film so as to cover the atrocities they have committed against their own people . i believe in the stories my people told me and for me , that is the main issue . but this is all in the past , because for my last film never before has the government of senegal put up so much money to support an independent production . it shows how people and governments can change .\nwhen i met with you at the 1995 pan - african festival of film and television of ouagadougou , your first time at the festival , you said you stopped in senegal on your way to ouagadougou to receive an award . so the government finally recognized you after so many years ?\nyes , the award coincided with the preparations for the women\u2019s meeting in china , which started in senegal . they had to congratulate one woman , and it was i . the year 1995 marked the first time that i attended fespaco . i had not participated since its inception because of the choices i had to make\u2014 to be a filmmaker yes ; to be a mother , yes ; to pursue my work on anthropological studies , yes . and if i want to support my daughter who is now studying at a university in england , i have to be careful regarding how i manage my affairs . all these things control my life . i want to succeed at the choices i make . if i do these three things at the same time , i must eliminate certain things such as festivals and many other activities , which is why for twenty years i never attended any festivals . it was my choice not to attend fespaco . but in 1995 i received a special invitation to attend fespaco and to receive a meritorious award given to me by the organization of african filmmakers , which i was mandated to accept . it was a great honor .\nhow do you do everything you do\u2014 so well ? to combine motherhood with your other jobs ? the problem of shooting films and doing postproduction work must be very difficult for you .\nyes , it is . if i cannot do all the things that i plan to do , i am never satisfied . and i want to be satisfied . i try to be satisfied . for me there is no confusion making movies and all the rest . i am not lost inside . i always manage to a way out . when my daughter was three years old , she could read because i devoted a lot of time to teaching her . i was a trained teacher in senegal before i left my country for a temporary absence . it also worked to my daughter\u2019s advantage because she was always taking place in her classes . similarly , when i make films i also try my best to accomplish certain goals . i must state that choosing to make films before any other black woman was easy for me . first i studied at a very prestigious film school , louis lumi\u00e8re , in paris . after i received my diploma i realized that i had some expectations and i said to myself , \u201ci\u2019ll try . \u201d suddenly a black woman is making films . at that time it was less difficult because there were a lot of possibilities . i got a lot of attention and admiration because i was the first woman of my time to use the camera . the only film where i had problems is mossane . but before that i always got an immediate yes to my requests for funding .\nwhat is the problem you had with mossane ? i know it took a long time to make this film , and you were very angry about your working relationships when i asked you about it at the 1995 fespaco .\nyour films pay meticulous attention to womanhood ; how you foreground women\u2019s lives and how , through the characters , the viewer experiences vignettes of culture attests to women\u2019s contributions to society . i know you have said that your films are not only about women but about all of society .\nno , no ! because women alone cannot live in africa . women live in a community , and i cannot eliminate the community . this is a reflection on me : i cannot live without my people . i cannot separate out an individual . but this is typical of african cultures . you cannot live alone ; you can\u2019t do it because a big family , a big community , is all around you .\nin ferid boughedir\u2019s camera d\u2019afrique : twenty years of african cinema , you talked about your filmmaking experience while holding a muslim prayer bead .\ni don\u2019t remember that , but i am a muslim ; my father is a muslim , his brother is a catholic , and his uncle is an animist . all of the religions can live together\u2014 the most important thing is belief in one\u2019s faith .\ni think you are a bridge uniting all these differences . as a woman , carrying a camera , going to a village to film , how do you coordinate all of the things you do ?\nbecause i know what i am doing . when you cannot get what you want , it is because you do not know where you are going . before i say , \u201cshoot , \u201d i know where i am going , and i do it very quickly . it is just the way i approach my work .\n\u201clove\u201d is what i say to everyone who asks me this question . i wanted the most beautiful woman to be an african girl . in this case the girl is fourteen years old ; she is pure , she is innocent , and she looks as if she does not belong to this world\u2014 because she is too beautiful . the entire world loves her , including her brother . she is so pure and beautiful , but she cannot stay in this world because the spirits who died or departed long ago will come back to take her . the beginning point was a legend affirming that every two centuries a young girl is born whose beauty is such that she can only know fatal destiny . mossane belongs to this group of people .\nthe way you treated her brother\u2019s sexual advances toward her was not exoticized . that was cleverly integrated into the narrative .\nit is because i like punctuation in my films . the film is about mossane , which means \u201cbeauty . \u201d all of those things happening in the plot are punctuation , nothing else . and when you have those points of punctuation , you don\u2019t have to make the story about those points . my story follows mossane\u2019s development as an individual who is lovable . i love her . i created this character . her brother could also be in love with her , like i can be in love with her , because she is supernatural , ethereal . the point i make is that anybody , woman or man , can love her . i wanted to get that point across .\nyes , like i said before , she is supernatural . she does not belong on this earth . nobody knows why she is so supernatural . she has parents all right but she is still unique in this world . nobody can touch her . somehow she is inaccessible , and i like inaccessible beings . that comes also from my experience as an ethnologist .\nshe dies when she is kept from marrying the person she loves . is this a criticism of society ? are you suggesting that the practice of arranged marriages is outdated in africa ?\neverybody is free to make his own interpretation of the film . for me , i say that she doesn\u2019t belong to this world , and nobody can touch her . she has her destiny . i remember that in my script , i wrote that she is going to follow fara the student , and when the university reopens she attempts to meet him . the obstacle separating them is the river . she has to cross the river alone , but spirits live in the water , it is believed in my country , and a spirit took her to another destination . my sense of creativity , though , is to let the audience imagine what the images signify . it is not necessary to make everything explicit for the audience . they have to think . creativity invites such thinking ; that is why i create .\nis that why you didn\u2019t quite show clearly how she died ? we are left to assume many things , such as whether she drowned on her own or whether someone murdered her .\ntraveling alone , she heard some voices\u2014 voices of the spirits , which frightened her . she drifted into the woods and began to cry . in my conception it is the spirit that took her , because this girl didn\u2019t belong in this world . she had to go back with the spirit to become a member of the spirit world . and maybe she will come back one day looking for the most beautiful man on earth .\nanother interesting way you present culture is in your depiction of black sexuality . you depicted the lovemaking sequence in a way unusual for african films . i liked how it was shot , but it may be too controversial for some africans , including your colleagues .\nsome people may see the lovemaking scene as too explicit . i do not think there is anything unusual . every married man and woman makes love at home . when things are beautiful , when the body is beautiful\u2014 and , yes , mossane is beautiful\u2014 i show them as beautiful . as if it is expected to happen , and the audience knows it will happen , why can\u2019t the couple be shown having intercourse ? when i chose to present such a scene i aspired to present it as beautiful and as pleasing as possible . the president of my country saw the premiere of the in dakar and he told me that people make love and that there is nothing wrong in depicting lovemaking in especially regarding how i constructed the scene .\nthe scene was well shot . the lighting and the serene atmosphere contributed to its splendor . what kind of a crew do you use ? do you use african technicians ?\nthe technical crew is all german . i made my name in germany before france . i lived for a long time in germany , teaching at the university and so forth . when i wrote my script and sent it to my financiers in germany , they immediately suggested that j\u00fcrgen j\u00fcrges [ fassbinder\u2019s acclaimed cameraman , considered one of the best of his generation ] should film mossane . after he became interested in the story , j\u00fcrges pointed out to me that both of our daughters were thirteen years old , and we could put all of our affection for our children on mossane . that comment contributed greatly to the harmony of our working relationship . we filmed the little girl like a genie to inject into the character all of the mysterious aspects you can only see in a child at this age . a child changes a lot between thirteen and years old . you can experience those characteristics in mossane throughout the fifteen film .\ni think it is difficult to make now . i am no longer ready to make a like mossane . it is my last big because i do not want to be destroyed anymore . if something bad should happen to me , my child will lose everything . i was very depressed over this film because of a number of bad experiences culminating in a series of financial and legal disagreements . it was like a dream for seven years as i waited and waited for the justice system to rescue me . if i didn\u2019t have my whole family , my community with me during this painful period , i would have perished . they were the ones who knew how sad i was during those years and they were the ones who gave me the encouragement to keep going . i am sure i could not have taken all of those pains alone . they too shared a little part of that sadness . they saved me .\nno . it was shown at the cannes film festival for two consecutive years , but i still have a lot of production costs left to pay . i need money to pay for postproduction , including the costs of making internegative and interpositive prints , as well as some other expenses . at this time , we have only two prints made . mossane has not made me financially solvent as yet , as there is also a lot of lab work to pay for . i am expecting to settle all the bills and to be able to make more copies for distribution . however , trigon - film in switzerland , who contributed to the production fund , organized a commercial screening of in november 1996 that is still going on to this present day [ september i was there to present it . to make it worthwhile commercializing the trigon paid to make three copies . my distributor in africa is ousmane sembene , who is really great . he promised to begin the distribution and exhibition in october the german exhibition will also begin in october .\ni don\u2019t know . i won\u2019t rush into anything , because this has made me afraid . i had planned for the shooting of this film to be completed in and it wasn\u2019t until the film was ready for screening . destiny is at work , maybe . perhaps it is better for me to wait . people can inquire about the film or offer proposals for acquisition , but i will exercise some degree of restraint . remember that i created the story and invented the spirits ; nobody can see spirits or represent spirits , so when you show them in a film , maybe the spirit will find a way to bring something good for the future . for me , spirits do not belong to this world , and if they come , heads must bow .\nyes , but a spirit can also make us ascend to a level we didn\u2019t think possible before .\nyes , i agree ! i think that the spirit that i venerated in my film gave me back my rights .\nbecause of the energy and time of putting this film together , there must be a way to find a channel of distribution for it . you know haile gerima . his film sankofa made a lot of money because he organized its distribution through the help of many people . the film showed in major cities , and after that , he put it on video . i bought a copy myself . i think that strategy could also work in your case .\nyou are making a good proposal but i have to clear impending debts . i was glad that after the rough cut was shown to some guests last december [ 1995 ] it was predicted that this film would go to cannes , and it did . for that and other reasons , i think i should wait for the right distributor to handle the film . i will not give the to any distributor without getting a twenty - thousand - dollar deposit up front . i need this money to pay the bills . i am only asking for a fair amount . all of my are still out there in distribution\u2014 some of them twenty years after they have been made , and i am sure mossane will be universal and eternal . for that , i can wait .\nmossane was received as the official selection of the cannes film festival and for its world premiere . i was elated . i went to the cannes film festival with my daughter , and she witnessed the whole thing . she saw her mother destroy what i would call the myth of the stupidity of filmmaking . for me it was a special occasion and a special occasion for the government of senegal , who sent high - level government officials to witness this event . the government was glad that my film made it as senegal\u2019s official entry to the festival . the president gave me his full support . ousmane sembene threw in his weight , too .\ni don\u2019t have a specific influence . i work from my own sensation . i like to be alone . i like silence . it is only my child who cannot disturb me , but other people can disturb me .\ni cannot talk about that . sometimes when there is an african showing , i pay my way to experience the film . if i happen to meet the i don\u2019t admit i saw the film because i don\u2019t want him to ask me what i think about it . i think there are some differences demarcating my work from theirs . it could be that i have great self - confidence .\ni do not normally go to fespaco . the time i participated was in and the second time was this year , and only because sembene told me , \u201cyou must show your film , you must put your film in competition . \u201d as you know , i prefer to be alone ; i don\u2019t belong to any group . for me , three days here at fespaco is enough . if i could have changed my ticket today i would have left , but i was told it was not possible to change it . i like the generosity of the organizers . i appreciate that , but i don\u2019t like festivals . i do not envy the structure of the organization of fespaco . in short , i don\u2019t like festivals except in some exceptional circumstances .\nyou display a lot of rituals\u2014 matrimonial rituals , dances , ghosts , and sensuous feasts of young women\u2014 in the film that people who do not know much about senegalese culture may not understand .\nit is interesting how people marvel about all the things happening in this film . when i showed it in paris and invited my former professors of anthropology and ethnology to see the film , they admired the creative imagination involved in the realization of those images . of course , they understood them to be images which i invented , but some people think the story was real . one of the professors said to me ,\n\u201cms . safi , you know this is the origin of myths . in twenty years , people will still say this is the myth of safi faye . \u201d all the same , the images are not realistic .\nthis is again what is unique about your film structure . you have a unique way of juxtaposing fiction with documentary to create the kind of myth you are talking about .\nyes , you are correct . but if you make making films and you cannot create , then you must stop making films .\ni am not competent to comment generally on the issue because i don\u2019t see a lot of african films , but i think that in any one film a new image must be created . as they said in cannes in reference to my spirits , never before has a person created on this kind of vision of humans . critics also admired the music , the warm and lively colors , and the sensuous nature of the for me , the head must think and create . if not , you are like any other filmmaker .\ni saw that a number of agencies , including television , were involved in funding the project . doesn\u2019t it bother you that when the film is shown on television that you may not be able to control piracy , especially since it has not been widely distributed commercially ?\nthe will be shown on channel in england , arte in france , zdf tv in germany\u2014 all of whom financed the along with some other television networks . on the question of piracy and illegal duplication , i have a lawyer and a contract , but it is true that no television station can control satellite broadcasts . regarding my earlier problems , the mistake i made was that i did not have a lawyer when i started the production . at the time i was advised that it was not necessary to hire a lawyer because it would be too costly . actually that would have meant hiring three lawyers , each of them taking charge of the legal questions that might have arisen in france , germany , and senegal , respectively . i learned my lesson . if i had lawyers from the beginning , i would not have had the problems i had for these past or six years . but i learned a lot from these mistakes and from this film . when there is so much money involved , as with this project , there is a tendency that your trusted associate will try to steal from you . i will never make that kind of mistake again .\nthis kind of affirmation is frequently heard among african filmmakers . often they say they will never make films again because of bad experiences they had and the problem of working as an independent . but because of their reputation , they are forced to make more films . so i am hoping that pressure will come one day to say that the woman who made this beautiful film , mossane , cannot stop making films . she must be given full support .\ni will tell such a person to bring the money , take control of the legal aspects , give me my rights , and i will prepare the film\u2019s scenario and shoot it . all the people who gave me money to make mossane know me , and they know my work . i am grateful to them all . i am not planning to start looking for money for a new because money is dangerous . the more you find the money , the more a lot of people will come behind you and , believe it , you may not know who the unscrupulous individuals are .\ni talked to you before about selb\u00e9 , which is doing very well in the united states .\nthe film was commissioned . it was coproduced by unicef and faust films production [ munich ] . i directed it and it does not belong to me . people tell me i did a good job on that do get payment from it . everybody likes selb\u00e9 . it won a special prize at the leipzig festival in germany . the people who commissioned it wanted a woman to make the film , and i 1983 filmmaker film .\ni say , let mossane have its own way . i can\u2019t say i want this or want that , but i can\u2019t continue to suffer . i believe that after six years of uncertainty the time has now come for me to reap the fruits of my labor . for me , in my head , mossane is done , and you don\u2019t know how happy i am .\nsafi faye certainly has strong opinions and as you realize from this interview an integral part

( both super godzilla and space godzilla were designed by minoru yoshida . )\nin terms of the godzilla vs . gigamoth concept , several questions do arise . the foremost being why mana didn ' t stop murakami from completing his bacteria , especially since she was willing to sacrifice mothra to stop the effect ?

( the godzillasaur , the dinosaur godzilla was before being mutated by radiation , is introduced in godzilla vs . ghidrah . )\ngodzilla then fires his atomic ray at a nearby ferris wheel and attempts to collapse it onto mothra , but battra grabs the ferris wheel , and crashes it onto godzilla . eventually , godzilla is overwhelmed and has been defeated , and mothra and battra set to carry godzilla back into the ocean . over the sea , godzilla fires a blast at battra from point blank range , killing him . a tired mothra drops godzilla and the lifeless battra into the water below . the next morning , the cosmos explain battra had been waiting many years to destroy an even larger meteorite that would threaten the earth in 1999 . mothra had promised she would stop the future collision if battra were to die , and she and the cosmos leave earth as the humans bid farewell .\nthe shobijin ( mothra ' s twin fairies ) warn the japanese government that godzilla continues returning to japan because they used the original godzilla ' s bones in kiryu ' s design . if they return the bones to the bottom of the sea , mothra would gladly take kiryu ' s place in defending japan , but if they do not , mothra will declare war on humanity . soon enough , kamoebas , a giant sea turtle , is found washed ashore on a japanese beach . it is determined by the wounds on kamoebas ' neck that godzilla killed it . godzilla and mothra fight , but godzilla seems to have the upper hand . with the repairs finished just in time , kiryu manages to even the odds , but godzilla manages to knock out both monsters .\ngigan is the first monster to make godzilla visibly bleed . the previous godzilla special effects director ,\ngodzilla vs . destoroyah was originally intended to be the last japanese godzilla film until 2005 . however , toho saw an opportunity to produce a new film in the wake of the widespread negative reaction to tristar pictures ' 1998 american godzilla film , and brought the series out of retirement early with godzilla 2000 : millennium in 1999 .\ngodzilla vs . gigan is one of three godzilla movies in which the monsters talk at some point . the other two are ghidorah , the three - headed monster , where the monsters ' dialogue is translated by the shobijin , and all monsters attack , where minilla speaks inside of a boy ' s dream . in toho ' s international version of godzilla vs . gigan , the monsters ' dialogue is as follows :\nin godzilla : unleashed , battra is a model - swap of mothra , and has the same attacks in his imago form , with his prism beams substituted for mothra ' s antenna beams . however , in larva form , battra can fire beams from his eyes . like mothra larva , battra larva ' s energy can only be replenished if he hits a yellow crystal , but he regenerates energy normally in imago form .\nwhen the larva mothra bites godzilla ' s tail in the ocean , look closely at the base of the tail as it ' s tossing mothra upwards . you can clearly see the tail is a separate prop on some kind of support that has distorted it ' s shape - widening it unnaturally .\nmeanwhile , in the fuji area , gigamoth lays a few giant eggs of its own . shortly afterwards , godzilla appears , attracted by the gigamoth ' s radioactivity , and prepares himself to fight gigamoth again . before the creatures can fight , a fleet of jets appear and unload tens of rockets which contain murakami ' s recently finished antibody bacteria at the two kaiju . godzilla is not affected by the rockets , but gigamoth is weakened and made very vulnerable by the bacteria . suddenly , mothra arrives , in her imago form and merged with mana , ready to battle godzilla . mothra fires poisonous pollen that paralyzes godzilla just as godzilla fires his atomic breath and hits mothra , sending her to the ground . mothra and gigamoth make eye contact , and mothra goes right into gigamoth ' s horn , making her bleed , which dissolves gigamoth and its eggs . mana hoped that mothra contained a bit of mutated bacteria which would create a new creature which would be unaffected by murakami ' s antibodies . her plan works , as the two are covered by a bright light , from which mothra ' s true form comes out of .\nboth mothra and battra attain their imago forms and converge at yokohama cosmo world . godzilla interrupts the battle and attacks battra . the two moths decide to join forces against godzilla . eventually , mothra and battra overwhelm godzilla and carry it over the ocean . godzilla bites battra ' s neck and fires his atomic breath into the wound , killing him . a tired mothra drops godzilla and the lifeless battra into the water below , sealing godzilla below the surface by creating a mystical glyph with scales from her wings . the next morning , the cosmos explain that battra had been waiting many years to destroy an even larger meteoroid that would threaten the earth in 1999 . mothra had promised she would stop the future collision if battra were to die , and she and the cosmos leave earth as the humans bid farewell .\nonce mothra emerges from her cocoon , at times the plush , brightly - hued insect barely beats its wings . even worse , its legs remain immobile throughout , as though they are paralyzed . this is especially dismaying when you consider the wonderful articulation of the adult mothra in godzilla vs . the thing - - in that film , all aspects of the monster moth were alive with movement - - head , wings , body , and legs . but almost thirty years later , toho ' s spfx folk seem to have taken a giant step backward , creating a mothra that is , at times , even less life - like than the lovely but often stiff moth in the original 1961 mothra .\nneedless to say , the egg hatches before it ever reaches japan , and a larval mothra emerges just in time to battle godzilla , who has come to investigate the convoy of ships escorting mothra to japan . of course battra shows up as well , and the fun begins . although it ' s difficult to tell at first , godzilla is actually the bad guy in this movie . in a roundabout way , mothra and battra make peace long enough to fight their common enemy ."]}

picture memorabilia . it ' s a chance for audiences to revisit the political underpinnings that led to the film ' s creation in the first place . though it ' s easy to think of the film as a straight -

trial controversy . the present moment was also very much on my mind . i believed we needed a more historically informed debate about both interrogation methods and military courts . another purpose was to contribute to what i would call the \u201cuntangling\u201d of modern german history . for several decades now , german , north american , and israeli scholars have\u2014often in the face of considerable resistance\u2014revealed the extent to which our understanding of nazi germany has been shaped by former nazis and their sympathizers . yet another aim was to call attention to a strain of german and american anti -

term assignment . on december 29th , lane was contracted to play dodo for thirteen episodes ( encompassing the final part of the massacre as well as serials x , y and z ) , with an option for twelve more . wiles hoped that dodo could be made distinctive by having lane ' s long hair styled differently in every story . this plan had to be scuppered , however , when lane opted for a very short haircut soon after passing her audition .\ni think that whole scene was the most intense part of the movie and all of us were slightly insane by then .\n\u2014gunnar hansen ( leatherface )\njust before the release of her new film you were never really here , lynne ramsay spoke with us about her early moviegoing life in glasgow , the version of herself that emerges on set , and the mind -

day england . this introduced dorothea \u201cdodo\u201d chaplet , by implication a descendant of anne ' s ( which meant that she somehow escaped the massacre ) . dodo - - a character devised by wiles and tosh -

oriented tale .\ni think one of the major problems i had with this film is that it killed off one of the coolest characters in the series . crazy ralph ( walt gorney ) may have been made fun of when he warned the campers that \u201ccamp crystal lake has a death curse ! \u201d but it made for some of the most memorable scenes in the early parts of the series . killing off ralph in this one might have added to the body count , but it took out one of the characters that could have made for some nice continuity from one movie to the next and offered some of the local flavor as well . what did ralph know about the lake ? what made him crazy ? we\u2019ll never know .\nthe scariest sound i ' ve ever heard was last year , when i was lying in my bed reading when i heard the movement of something in the walls of my room . on its own this would not be that bad but i was right in the middle of reading hp lovecraft\u2019s\nthe rats in the wall\nand as i neared the end of the story the movement i heard in the walls got more and more frantic to the point where i left my house and crashed on my friends couch .\nit\u2019s the continuity that makes the first few friday the 13th\u2019s so special . the latter films forgot all of that . this one began where the first ended ; acknowledging the history that was just building . it made you want to seek out the original and watch it back to back . sure the storyline is almost identical , but the evolution of the killer from pamela voorhees to her son in this one felt like parts of a bigger story .\ndelta airlines was the first to end its sponsorship , announcing yesterday that it would no longer be\nthe official airline of the public theater ,\nthe organization that produces shakespeare in the park .\nhe feared that the threshold for \u2018acceptable service\u2019 may be something like receiving signal 90 per cent of the time which the service may reach , the issue being that the 10 per cent the stations are offline are peak viewing times .\nthe second chapter is lovingly referred to as lump . laurie ( laid to rest\u2019s nick principe in a role that some may consider offensive ) is a deformed , mentally challenged paraplegic on experimental steroids in an effort to treat her spina bifida . she is on the brink of death , but her bitch of a sister , kimberly ann ( lisa m . garcia ) , decides to speed up the process . while out in the woods with a group of friends , kimberly pushes the laurie\u2019s wheelchair off a cliff . the only problem is that laurie won\u2019t die . in fact , she can walk now , and she wants revenge . brinke stevens ( the slumber party massacre ) cameos as the girls\u2019 mother .\nfun fact : hooper deliberately limited the amount of onscreen violence in ( dashed ) hopes of getting a pg rating .

she represents the outsider mentality of the blair witch hysteria .\ngiven the fact that the internet is talking again about the blair witch films thanks to adam wingard\u2019s new entry on the franchise , i\u2019ve decided to take a shot on my own blair witch project and recut the 2000 sequel book of shadows , which i\u2019ve been a fan of since its original release .\nwhile it would be difficult to match the media mayhem that surrounded the release of the blair witch project ( 1999 ) , it ' s fair to say that book of shadows is one of the more eagerly awaited sequels for some time .\nbased on the \u201cparanormal 2\u201d trailers it\u2019s clear they\u2019ve already avoided a few of the pitfalls of \u201cblair witch 2 , \u201d most notably maintaining the original\u2019s docsploitation visual style instead of shifting to a more conventionally shot fiction film . but paramount has kept a tight lid on just about everything else . having enjoyed both \u201cthe blair witch project\u201d and the first \u201cparanormal activity , \u201d and having suffered through \u201cblair witch 2 , \u201d here\u2019s five lessons i hope \u201cparanormal 2\u201d writer michael r . perry and director tod williams learned from that unholy mess .\nit ' s 1999 and fans of a movie called\nthe blair witch project\nare flocking to the annoyed town of burkittsville , maryland . local resident ( and former mental patient ) jeffrey patterson is cashing in with blair witch merchandise and is taking four tourists on his inaugural ' blair witch hunt ' armed with multiple video cameras . once at the ruins of rustin parr ' s house , however , the group blacks out ( after a fair share of partying ) to discover ruined equipment , shredded book drafts , and several hours unaccounted for on their video in\nbook of shadows : blair witch 2 .\nfinally ! a new blair witch movie to wipe the taste of this one out of our mouths . book of shadows : blair witch 2 ( 2000 ) director : joe berlinger stars : jeffrey donovan , kim director , erica leerhsen a group of blair witch project fans venture in to the same woods and clearly learned nothing from the first movie . i imagine it ' s not easy making a sequel to something that was a legitimate . . . read more . . .\nwhat\u2019s scary once is rarely scary twice , whether a terrifying film\u2019s villain is seen or not . horror historians are still trying to discern what the hell happened with book of shadows : blair witch 2 , the 2000 follow - up to the record - breaking found - footage smash the blair witch project . since there\u2019s no actual witch shown in codirectors eduardo s\u00e1nchez and daniel myrick\u2019s original 1999 film , book of shadows filmmaker joe berlinger \u2014 the documentarian behind the paradise lost films \u2014 abandoned the supernatural altogether and tried mining psychological hysteria from a convoluted story about blair witch fans who lose their minds . berlinger\u2019s efforts were admirable , but also disastrously ill - advised . the blair witch project earned $ 250 million on a $ 60 , 000 budget \u2014 book of shadows cost $ 15 million and scraped its way to just $ 47 million .\nwhile director adam wingard ' s upcoming blair witch is technically the second sequel in the blair witch franchise , following book of shadows : blair witch 2 , the movie doesn ' t pay any attention to its predecessor . from an outside perspective , this makes plenty of sense , given that the 2000 film was a received tremendously poorly , but the real explanation for its exclusion is actually a lot simpler than that : the canon for the franchise only includes work made by or in coordination with the creative team responsible for creating the original , and that doesn ' t include book of shadows .\ntherefore , i recommend you all to watch the book of shadows : blair witch 2 , keeping in mind that was a fictional film that had no real basis , and decide on whether the film was truly shit as people say , or a flawed masterpiece that could ' ve been so much more , or actually better than the original blair witch project in terms of its theme .\nand , as with all highly successful pop culture entities , building a franchise to exploit the fan base was inevitable . in 2000 , book of shadows : blair witch 2 hit theaters , offering a different approach to deepening the mythology - instead of repeating the found footage format , director joe berlinger presented the sequel as a fictionalized retelling of real events that took place after the release of the blair witch project . book of shadows disappointed audiences who just wanted more of the same , and although the commercial and critical response would indicate otherwise , this sequel is not a failure .\na pale shadow of the diabolically clever piece of video hocus - focus that was the blair witch project .\nthe worst part about \u201cbook of shadows\u201d is that the references to the first \u201cblair witch\u201d are essentially window dressing for what is otherwise a very generic horror movie . after the first half hour in the woods , it\u2019s basically just a bunch of obnoxious people hallucinating and yelling at each other in a dumpy loft . it would not surprise me in the slightest to learn that \u201cbook of shadows\u201d began its life as an unrelated screenplay about hallucinating tourists that some producers found and sprinkled a few blair witch references on . because that\u2019s what it feels like . \u201cthe blair witch project\u201d was scary because it didn\u2019t look like a scary movie . \u201cblair witch 2\u201d isn\u2019t scary because it looks like every scary movie .\nsimon brew sep 20 , 2016 blair witch : book of shadows is renowned as a very bad sequel . its director has explained just where it went wrong\u2026 whilst the new blair witch sequel , from director adam wingard , hardly sent box office tills into overdrive over the weekend , we\u2019ve yet to meet anyone who even begins to argue that it\u2019s not a significant upgrade on the original follow - up , book of shadows : blair witch 2 . renowned documentary maker joe berlinger took on the job of the second movie , and he\u2019s been looking back at just what went wrong with the film . revealing that he couldn\u2019t bring himself to see the new blair witch , in spite of his respect for adam wingard , berlinger admitted \u201ci just couldn\u2019t bring myself to go see it and relive the trauma\u201d . what trauma ? that of the studio recutting book of shadows . they \u201cinserted scenes\n\u201cblair witch\u201d is currently in theaters . \u201c book of shadows : blair witch 2 \u201d is available on dvd , if you\u2019re thinking it\u2019s time for a critical reappraisal ( or at least a rewatch with some fresh eyes ) . you can also check out berlinger\u2019s very honest dvd commentary here , check out the chapter in his book all about it ( via download here ) and even read his original notes from the film ( via download here ) .\njoe berlinger , writer - director of the first blair witch sequel , 2000\u2019s book of shadows , took to twitter on monday morning to vent frustrations over the treatment his movie received , despite performing better at the box office than wingard\u2019s latest effort .\nwhen \u201cparanormal activity\u201d came out last year it was hard not to think about \u201cthe blair witch project\u201d : two heavily improvised , found footage horror films shot independently on shoestring budgets that became enormously profitable hits thanks to ingenious internet marketing campaigns . so with \u201cparanormal activity 2\u201d opening this week , it\u2019s hard not to think about \u201cbook of shadows : blair witch 2 , \u201d which , like \u201cparanormal activity 2 , \u201d was rushed into production to capitalize on its predecessor\u2019s surprising success and made by a different creative team than the original film .\ntristen : the blair witch ? i thought you embraced nature , not evil .\nas it follows the twisted path traveled by five people fixated on the blair witch project , book of shadows : blair witch 2 journeys into a dark and dangerous place where the line between truth and fiction blurs and perhaps vanishes altogether . individual perception grows increasingly untrustworthy as the film ' s protagonists find themselves caught in a vortex of unspeakable evil , the origins of which - human or supernatural - remain chillingly uncertain .\nwhat ' s surprising is that the official sequel to the film , the book of shadows : blair witch 2 , is actually a flawed masterpiece . despite the overwhelming hate of the horror community and cinephiles alike , what i found in that movie was the vision of a great storyteller that just went horribly wrong in post - production .\nwhile dismissing the legend of the so - called\nblair witch ,\na researcher delves into the truth or fiction of a series of killing often attributed to the blair witch in the 1940 ' s .\nthe continuity of the blair witch franchise was something i talked about at length with screenwriter simon barrett a few weeks when i had the chance to interview him over the phone . curious about the fact that book of shadows : blair witch 2 was in no way referenced in the new film , i asked the filmmaker what he considered to be part of the larger universe going forward , and he explained in great detail :\nsequel the original title : inverted ; the original title appears before the the\nblair witch 2\npart . also an infamous example of the title having no bearing on what actually happens , as no book of any kind is ever plot - important .\nthis weekend , \u201c blair witch , \u201d a sequel to \u201c the blair witch project \u201d and an attempt to reboot the franchise , arrived in cinemas and flopped . hard . earning $ 9 . 6 million , it was nearly double the budget of the $ 5 million movie , but it was the worst opening in the series history , and it also took a beating from critics and audiences ( who tagged it with an abysmal d + cinemascore ) . and the occasion led to filmmaker joe berlinger , who helmed \u201c book of shadows : blair witch 2 \u201d over fifteen years ago to equally disastrous results , to hit twitter with what some could perceive as a # hottake : read more : \u2018 blair witch \u2019 can\u2019t capture the mystique of the original [ review ] . continue reading joe berlinger dispels myth that \u2018 book of shadows : blair witch 2 \u2019 was a failure at the playlist .\nbook of shadows opens with real footage of tv hosts like conan o\u2019brien and roger ebert talking about the previous film . this story , we find out , takes place in our universe during the immediate aftermath of the original picture\u2019s release . in the world of book of shadows , the blair witch project was a fictional movie , and the characters themselves are fans of it , thus placing them on our level . how cool is that ? five protagonists take a tour of the woods where blair witch was shot , just as any cinema geek may want to visit the set of their favorite horror film . this ingenious premise would later be copied in similar sequels like grave encounters 2 . each of the characters in book of shadows represents a different reaction to the blair witch project , from those interested in analyzing its legitimacy to wiccans offended by their portrayal on screen to people who just want to capitalize on the whole ordeal ( i . e . the studio executives who funded book of shadows ) . berlinger pokes fun at everyone involved in this madness , including himself for profiting off of it .\nberlinger had a vision for the film that would become book of shadows : blair witch 2 . he wanted to use the hype and controversy surrounding the original film as a springboard to explore the slippery line between fact and fiction , reality and fantasy , and documentary and fiction film . artisan had ideas of its own , and according to book of shadows\u2019 audio commentary , berlinger and artisan embarked on a brutal , hard - fought war over the film\u2019s soul ( if a film this mercenary can be said to have a soul ) that everyone lost . book of shadows was such a flop that a planned third film to be released in 2001 was abandoned .\nall of this talk about success and failure dances around the fact that both joe berlinger ' s book of shadows : blair witch 2 and adam wingard / simon barrett ' s blair witch are being unfairly judged . the two films are being compared to eduardo sanchez ' s the blair witch project , and its micro - budget / mega grossing success . while neither film scaled the heights of the adventure that inspired them , they ' re not outright failures , they ' re merely failures by comparison . the financial trajectory of blair witch has the film on its way to being profitable , and book of shadows made some decent money over its theatrical and home video releases . if only someone had thought to make this argument back in 2000 , berlinger might not have felt so offended .\nfor those unfamiliar with the story behind the making of book of shadows : blair witch 2 , the film started moving through development shortly after the release of the blair witch project in 1999 , as artisan entertainment wanted to immediately capitalize on the success of their hit movie . as a result , haxan films - the production company made up of eduardo s\u00e1nchez , gregg hale , daniel myrick , robin cowie and michael monell , who made the first feature - was basically cut out of the process .\nfrom the director of book of shadows : blair witch 2 ! zac efron may be funny and super handsome , but up next he\u2019s going to have to flex a whole new set of acting muscles in director joe berlinger \u2019s extremely wicked , shockingly evil and vile . in the upcoming film , reports thr , efron will be playing ted bundy , one of the [ \u2026 ]\nthe stars of the blair witch project -

( the original film boasts an 86 % fresh rating . ) \u201cbook of shadows\u201d eventually made $ 48 million worldwide ( adjusted for inflation , that\u2019s about $ 70 million ) did $ 25 million in dvd sales .\njeff is the cynic - only out to make a profit from the blair witch hysteria .\naudiences and critics aren\u2019t the only ones feeling underwhelmed by adam wingard\u2019s new blair witch film .\nblair witch and its incredible filmmaker commentary are out now on blu - ray and dvd .\nin the movie theater . for book of shadows it worked in a certain way but to me my biggest gripe with artisan was you shouldn ' t have called it ' blair witch 2 . ' it would ' ve been fine to call it blair witch chronicles . it wasn ' t really a sequel to our movie . so it would be a direct sequel to our film living in that mythology of burkittsville , being possessed , haunted by something .\nhistorically , entertainment companies with small market caps don ' t interest investors . and artisan has the added handicaps of a ho - hum record at the box office and a muddled identity . the disappointing showing of\nbook of shadows : blair witch 2 ,\nwhich will be lucky to gross more than $ 30 million at the domestic box office , only adds to its problems .\nrobin : in 1999\nthe blair witch project\ncreated a movie - going tempest as one of the most profitable films in history . because of the enormous publicity and hype , tourists flocked to the tiny maryland town of burkittsville to learn more about the truth and legend of the blair witch . jeff patterson ( jeffrey patterson ) , a local resident with a questionable past , is taking advantage of the phenomenon with his blair witch store and the newly inaugurated blair witch hunt tour . four people from boston sign up for the tour and they spend the night on the sight of the house of the notorious child murderer , rustin parr . but , something happens during the night and five hours of their lives are missing . they soon realize that they encountered something evil in the woods and it is bent on vengeance in\nthe book of shadows : blair witch 2\nthe twilight saga : breaking dawn , pt . 2 ( original motion picture score )\nbut cause the protagonists to blackout and murder innocent people at the blair witch ' s influence .\nerica is a wiccan who wants to\ncontact\nthe blair witch and sympathizes with her .\nit\u2019s easy to see why audiences rejected book of shadows : blair witch 2 and the ring two . instead of giving ticket - buyers more of what they loved about the first films , the sequel - makers went too far left . the most successful horror franchises over the last 15 years have done the opposite \u2014 remaining firmly in the center , zigzagging ever so slightly tonally , but never wholly rebooting .\nthese 5 people led by a blair witch hunter called jeff venture out into the black hills forest to find whether the blair witch has any credibility , and whether all of it was\nhysteria or history\n.\nthe movies are deadly serious because they make the case that injustice is being done . lives are at stake . i wondered earlier why berlinger would want to make a fiction film on witchcraft and black magic , but suspended judgment : he is one of the best documentarians around . but now that i ' ve seen\nbook of shadows : blair witch 2 ,\ni ' m disturbed .\nthese characters who are already not completely mentally stable \u2013 jeff is established as having stayed in a psychiatric institution prior to the blair witch project even being released \u2013 begin acting out the very violence they have been supplied by film and television during virtually all hours of the day . no , r - rated fictional stories are not inherently irresponsible , nor are they even completely to blame for the events of book of shadows . rather , berlinger argues that the issue is when reality is not clearly differentiated from fantasy . this trend , in combination with the general public\u2019s thirst for blood , is precisely what drove audiences to the theater in 1999 . the monster of book of shadows isn\u2019t the blair witch . it\u2019s the blair witch project .\nbook of shadows : blair witch 2\nis a not a very lucid piece of filmmaking ( and contains no book of shadows ) . i suppose it seems clear enough to berlinger , who co - wrote it and helped edit it , but one viewing is not enough to make the material clear , and the material is not intriguing enough , alas , to inspire a second viewing . the characters are not strongly and colorfully established , there is no persuasive story line , and what planet does that hey - rube sheriff come from ?

in book of shadows , berlinger took his hatred of the first movie\u2019s dishonesty and made an entire film out of it , commenting on the danger of blurring the line between fiction and reality . had artisan stayed out of the edit bay and let the man do his job , perhaps book of shadows could have been something truly special .\nthe filmmakers of the blair witch project were blessed by the na\u00efvet\u00e9 and obliviousness of youth and inexperience . they weren\u2019t experienced enough to realize that films are made by artists , but cinematic product like book of shadows tends to be crudely assembled via a committee populated primarily by executives terrified of losing their jobs if a seemingly surefire prospect like a blair witch sequel under - performs due to an excess of audience - alienating \u201coriginality . \u201d artists aspire to break new ground ; executives tend to gravitate toward the tried and true .\nguess i ' m out of space here , okay a tad over my allotted space if i was honest , so wrapping up like a christmas elf . book of shadows stands the test of time and taken out of its franchise is a rock solid psychological horror . forgot to mention that erica leerhsen isn ' t averse to getting her kit off which adds to the festivities . if you love your dark genre bleak , grimy , and psychologically intense then you have the right movie . book of shadows uses the mythology from the blair witch project , builds on it , and takes things in a new interesting direction . if needing a road map for this movie then everything is working backwards , the clues are there , but don ' t expect the movie to give up its secrets on a single viewing , this one should definitely be on repeat . naturally i ' m going to be recommending this witchy outing , settle in for something unsettling folks , let book of shadows : blair witch 2 cast its spell over you .\nwell , there was no need to read anything into \u201cbook of shadows , \u201d because it conveniently spelled it all out for the viewer . \u201cif people believe something , isn\u2019t it real ? perception is reality ! \u201d a characters points out during one of the many arguments about whether \u201cthe blair witch project\u201d is real or not . the first \u201cblair witch\u201d was a phenomenon . you know how not to recreate a phenomenon ? by deconstructing that phenomenon onscreen during lengthy philosophical arguments .\n\u201cthis is fucking bullshit ! \u201d that is one of the final lines of book of shadows : blair witch 2 . it may not be the actual last line , but it\u2019s certainly the one that sticks with you the most upon the 2000 film\u2019s ending . it\u2019s said , or rather screamed , by stephen ( stephen barker turner ) , a would - be academic working on a book about the blair witch phenomenon with his wife , tristen ( tristine skyler ) . at least that\u2019s what he was doing when he decided to take a \u201cblair witch\u201d tour with amateur obsessive jeff ( jeffrey donovan ) in a group that included a wiccan witch , erica ( erica leerhsen ) , and a medium of sorts , kim diamond ( kim director ) . by the end of their overnight sojourn , two members of that party are dead and that , honestly , is the only confirmable events that i can say actually happen in the movie\u2019s narrative .\nbut who or what could be responsible for all this motherfuckery ? could it be the blair witch ? but that was just a movie ! as berlinger says throughout the commentary , book of shadows : blair witch 2 is all about blurring the lines between fiction and reality , but the film quickly grows uninterested in reality . skyler has a miscarriage , and while in the hospital , she sees a creepy , backwards - dancing demon - child that\u2019s been shoe - horned into the proceedings so that she will all but run out of the hospital and head back into the woods with a bunch of freaks .\nthere are interesting ideas throughout : by replaying certain characters ' actions on videotapes that show radically different versions of incidents we saw earlier ( in a conventionally shot sequence blair witch fan kim has an argument with a grocery clerk ; a security camera later shows the same scene , although this time she stabs the woman to death ) , the film unsettles some of the assumptions underlying the blair witch project . after all , if the witch can manipulate video and film footage , then what status can the material that made up the original have ? the sloppy but amusing opening of book of shadows , with burkittsville residents who live near the witch ' s stomping ground jeering at a flood of blair witch fans or trying to hawk them souvenirs , already blurs the film ' s status as a fiction - in the narrative universe of book of shadows , is the blair witch project a film by heather donahue , one of that movie ' s characters , or by credited directors daniel myrick and eduardo sanchez ? tellingly , the local sheriff complains about the unethical use of the word documentary . given this confusion , even what seems like a plain lapse ( the tapes contain footage of the tapes being buried ) might be another manifestation of the witch ' s influence , like the witch marks that sprout like poison ivy on the characters ' bodies .\nthe compromises berlinger had to make to satisfy artisan\u2019s ideas of a commercially viable horror film begin with a clumsy opening text\u2014included over berlinger\u2019s objections\u2014that reads , \u201cthe following is a fictionalized reenactment of events that occurred after the release of the blair witch project . it is based on public records , local maryland tv broadcasts , and hundreds of taped interviews . to protect the privacy of certain individuals , some names have been changed . \u201d it then cuts to a scream and , in rapid succession , kurt loder on mtv news , jay leno on the tonight show , conan o\u2019brien and andy richter on late night with conan o\u2019brien , roger ebert and gene siskel on siskel & ebert , and jules asner on e ! news , all commenting on the culture - wide frenzy whipped up by the blair witch project . this makes book of shadows : blair witch 2 the first horror sequel in existence to open with gene siskel and roger ebert reviewing the original , explicitly positing book of shadows as the most meta of horror sequels . rather than deny the mania that accompanied blair witch project \u2019s release , the film deliberately makes that excitement and ambiguity its primary focus .\nand here\u2019s the really sad part : it did make money . though not nearly the hit that the original was , and a reputation not unlike that of the room and troll 2 , book of shadows : blair witch 2 was made for about $ 15 million and made $ 26 million all told . even with marketing costs , the film made some change . still , while you\u2019re in the movie , the frustration and confusion is oppressive and consistent , and in a way , that\u2019s about as good as berlinger could have hoped for in all of this . the final scene of the film involves stephen looking at a climactic act on tape and refusing to believe that it\u2019s what happened . one can imagine that berlinger had a similar feeling when he was talking with artisan and looking at their changes to a film that he clearly had personal feelings about . by the end of book of shadows : blair witch 2 , the idea of simply yelling \u201cthis is fucking bullshit\u201d makes a lot of sense , but one has to imagine a much longer , curse - laden tirade came from the man who is labeled as creating it .\nat some point , someone decided this was what people wanted from a \u201cblair witch\u201d sequel : people acting bananas . so instead of three college kids , \u201cbook of shadows\u201d follows a former mental patient ( \u201cburn notice\u201d\u2018s jeffrey donovan ) , a witch who speaks to ghosts ( erica leerhsen ) , and a goth chick with vaguely defined psychic abilities ( kim director ) , plus a couple ( tristine skyler and stephen barker turner ) too dumb to survive in normal society ( who brings the only copy of their manuscript on a camping trip to the haunted woods ? ) . the keys to \u201cblair witch\u201d were believability and relatability , being able to accept that the events of the film could have happened , and that if placed in a similar situation , we in the audience might have done the same . unless you happen to be a psychic witch , neither is true of \u201cbook of shadows . \u201d\nafter a strong , suspenseful start , the recent blair witch sequel devolves into silly , supernatural nonsense and unnecessary cgi . but it\u2019s still a lot better than the original sequel to 1999\u2019s the blair witch project , which ditched the found footage format for a goofy tale of a group of annoying people obsessed with , well , the blair witch project . is \u201cthat\u2019s so meta\u201d still a thing people say ?\nthe director is one of the guys behind the amazing paradise lost documentaries . the issue is that he wanted to do a film based around media coverage of crime and violence , aka similarly to what happened with west memphis three case . the problem is that no studio would entertain his script , and instead got the blair witch script , so it ended up being a weird hybrid of his and movies ideas meshed together , satisfying nobody . book of shadows is a great example why you dont always need to do something\nfresh\nand its best to stick to what works . had this been just blair witch 2 : the return of the witch of 3 - 4 new people going into the woods and getting killed , it would have made tons of money .\nsimon : adam flew in from the last day of shooting death note to the official toronto premiere of blair witch . adam ' s been working non - stop .\nwe also tried to not do anything that directly contradicted it , because i wanted to be respectful to the fan experience , whatever it is . now , i think it isn ' t a huge number of people [ who are fans of book of shadows : blair witch 2 , but i want to be respectful to that . it ' s not like star wars , where everyone is like staring at you and waiting to see if you ' re going to include the ewok movie in your continuity .\nchuck scarborough : so now , blair witch fans are not only flocking to the multiplex , they\u2019re flooding a little town of burkittsville , maryland .\npcn : with your admiration for the original film , and the reception of book of shadows , obviously you guys were aware of how the cards were stacked against you . did you have conversations early on about how you were potentially creating a no - win situation for yourselves ?\nbecause the third time\u2019s the charm , a new attempt at making a follow - up to \u201c the blair witch project \u201d is in the works \u2014 this time on tv . as both 2000\u2019s \u201c book of shadows : blair witch 2 \u201d and last year\u2019s \u201c blair witch \u201d proved to be disappointments , this small - screen venture both does and does not have to contend with high expectations . eduardo s\u00e1nchez , who co - directed the original film , revealed the plans on the diminishing returns podcast . read more : life after \u2018 blair witch \u2019 : why the writer - director team waited years to make a studio movie \u201c for us , it\u2019s a very natural thing to go and say , \u2018hey , let\u2019s do a frickin\u2019 blair witch show , ' \u201d he said , adding that \u201cyou can say it\u2019s from the original creators and we can bring in a whole bunch of interesting directors to direct episodes . \u201d s\u00e1nchez and daniel myric effectively launched the found - footage genre\nnc ( voiceover ) : so cheech and chong\u2019s blair witch tour keeps on moving as they drop by a grocery store .\nread up on the mythos sometime , that ' s where the real horror is . i have the blair witch dossier .\nsuspense driven , rather than horror , the story contains very few chilling moments . one , where the spirit of a murdered child from the distant past appears before the hunt crew , actual brought a shiver to my spine , but the rest of this horror sequel isn ' t really horrific , just shocking at times . there is some confusion in the way the events are portrayed , which has caused some negative buzz for bw2 . it does require your attention and some contemplation afterwards , but , as sequels go , i ' ve seen worse , much worse .

' \u201d and all the nutters in the film make their way to burkittsville , maryland to take part in a tour of the film\u2019s shooting locations . that dumb couple is looking for evidence for their book , the witch wants to prove that witches are nice people , the mental patient is looking to profit from the \u201cblair witch\u201d craze . they all say things like \u201cnewsflash everybody ! that was just a movie ! \u201d but eventually they all get possessed , think they\u2019re having sex with each other , imagine they\u2019re being tormented by little children wearing eye shadow , etc .\nbook of shadows : blair witch 2 took the meta - sequel route , as it focused on a group of young people who saw the blair witch project , only to be inspired to travel to burkittsville , maryland themselves . of course , things don ' t turn out all that peachy for our film fans , as they eventually find themselves in a situation so twisted , it leads to a hell of a finale . sadly , the more cerebral and meta nature of joe berlinger ' s original vision has been widely documented , as well as it being overridden by the powers that were at artisan entertainment . keep that in mind as you watch the trailer for the finished product , included below ."]}

japanese american unit , lt . grayson spends much of the film trying to catch up with and rejoin his preferred unit .\nthe writer and director robert pirosh initially set out to research and write a love story about a young japanese american university student , but the more he learned the more he focused on the story of the 100th / 442nd rct . he ultimately decided to create a film that would accurately show the negative aspects of the incarceration but with the overall positive affirmation of the brave service of nisei soldiers . his partner on the project was producer dore schary , the son of jewish immigrants who was known for racial tolerance , the use of minority actors , and left - leaning tendencies in his films . ultimately , pirosh and schary , who was head of mgm studios at the time of the release , produced a very well - received film that transformed the portrayal of japanese americans in hollywood .\nthe film depicts the 100th / 442nd rct as they complete their preparations at camp shelby demonstrating their abilities and bravery even in training . they are transferred to the european theater and the film highlights some of their most famous exploits at monte cassino , hill 140 , and the rescue of the lost battalion . the loyalty , determination , and courage of the japanese americans gradually wins over lt . grayson , even to the point that he fights with a friend in their defense . though he has come to appreciate his own men , he is eventually transferred back to the 36th division just before they are trapped in the vosges mountains and surrounded by germans . the nisei soldiers rescue lt . grayson and the rest of his unit and return home as honored heroes receiving a presidential unit citation for their actions in the rescue of the lost battalion .\nmeanwhile , production was starting on bongo , a film based on the short story written by sinclair lewis for cosmopolitan magazine in 1930 . it was suggested that bongo could be a prequel to dumbo and some of the cast from the 1941 film would appear as supporting characters , however the idea never fully materialized . in earlier drafts bongo had a chimpanzee as a friend and partner in his circus act . he was first called\nbeverly\nthen\nchimpy\n, but was ultimately dropped when condensing the story . bongo and chimpy also encountered two mischievous bear cubs who were also dropped . originally , the designs for the characters were more realistic , but when paired for fun and fancy free the designs were simplified and made more cartoony . a nearly completed script was completed on december 8 , 1941 , the day after the attack on pearl harbor .\nthe musical cinema careers of both stars was almost at an end when this film was released . dick powell clearly knew that his time as a juve lead was nearing its natural end as he appeared in\nfarewell my lovely\nthe following year . mary martin made one more film in this era before returning to the stage . she made very few films so a musical such as this is of great interest . although she is quite delightful i do not think that she had the glamour of say rita hayworth or the brashness of betty grable to enable her screen career to really take off . all of her performances that i have seen have been engaging without being memorable . dick powell does what he had been doing for 10 years on screen . betty hutton , eddie bracken and rudy vallee all lend support in this very entertaining and colourful 40s musical .\nfilm . records by danny kaye of orig cast .\nanatole of paris\n( 1942 : alb -

caribbean , and american rhythms and melodic structures . as ralph ellison noted , \u201cblood and skin don\u2019t think . \u201d or to put it a different way : jazz didn\u2019t come into existence because black people were simply black . its creation was the result of history , geography , social conditions , and , most importantly , the will to create something of artistic human value . to believe anything else plummets us into the foul abyss of pseudo - racist demagoguery that still plagues us on so many levels today .\nit is possible to order a taxi transport to / from boat departing pier to hotel . we charge czk 300 for a party of 1 - 4 people ( one way ) , and 400 czk for a party of 5 -

mingled ? what was special about the mississippi delta co - mingling of various cultural backgrounds which sparked the creation of jazz ? even amidst a segregated , oppressive and divisive culture , what glimmer of hope for a free - and - equal society came out of the civil war ( and specifically the emancipation declaration ) which led to the creation of an art form which clearly blended different cultural styles ? i think an honest reckoning of issues behind many of these questions supports the \u201camerican cultural phenomenon\u201d argument and frames the analysis from a cultural vs a racial perspective . to me , that seems to be a represent a more accurate historical approach to the narrative on the evolution of jazz .\nnext , jazz as played by black artists who grew up in the deep south sound differently than those from northern solid middle class backgrounds like miles davis . similarly white musicians from , say , new orleans , sound different than bix beiderbeck .\nit ' s been more than eight decades since show boat -

american art form : blacks have gotten their due as the art form\u2019s primary creators . no credible critic , musician , or music curriculum would state otherwise . at the same time , it is equally true that white musicians have made and continue to make great contributions to jazz . while the role evans and other whites have played should not be exaggerated to move the music\u2019s black known and unknown bards to the back of the bus , giving caucasians appropriate acknowledgment does not threaten the african -

boy ' s care , and went out .\nconversely , everyone in shiraz loved dash akol - - even when drunk and forbidding , he would allow women and children to cross his path . in fact , he was kind to people ; if anyone dared harass a woman , or tried to bully people , dash akol made him pay for it through the nose . he could be counted on to help people in financial distress and sometimes even to carry their heavy parcels .\nas he calmly turned the ice in his bowl and viewed the situation from the corner of his eye , dash akol burst out laughing , suddenly and loudly . a set of pearly teeth flashed beneath his hennaed moustache .\nisaac the jew shook his head and headed down the cellar stairs . after a few minutes , he returned with a bottle . dash akol took the bottle from him , dashed its neck against the wall to open it , and quickly downed half the bottle . tears gathered in his eyes and he began to cough . he stopped himself from coughing and , with the back of his hand , wiped his mouth . isaac the jew ' s son , a sickly jaundiced child with a distended stomach , a gaping mouth and a crusted - over nose , stared at dash akol . dash akol reached up for the salt jar on the shelf above him and , with his finger , scooped up a bit of salt and licked his finger . isaac the jew came toward dash akol , tapped him on the shoulder and said ,\nlutis take their drinks straight - - no relish !\nsuddenly a man in a velvet tunic , large trousers and a felt cap hurled himself into the teahouse . he glanced about frantically . then he went up to dash akol and said ,\nhaji samad passed away .\nkaka rostam suddenly lunged for him . dash akol struck kaka rostam ' s wrist with such force that his cutlass flew from his hand . their litany had drawn a crowd , but no one dared come forward to break them up . dash akol laughingly said ,\ni let you retrieve it this time . but i warn you . . . hold your cutlass tight . this is the night for settling our account once and for all .\nhis only companion and confidante in nights of drunken loneliness is an old parrot . every night , \u201cwhen shiraz with its twisting streets\u2026and purple wines , was going to sleep\u2026the real dash akol , unashamed of his desires and passions , came out of the shell that society had wrapped around him . \u201d ( \u201cdash akol\u201d , p . 47 ) it is to the parrot that he confesses his love of marjan , reciting amorous poems , and confiding his sorrows .\ndash akol is greatly respected in shiraz as an honorable man who has lost his family ' s money through helping his friends . he has an enemy , however , named kaka rostam , a mean and spiteful . . . see full summary \u00bb\nfrom this point on , dash akol abandoned his usual nocturnal rounds and challenges and he ceased to mingle with his cronies . gradually his sense of adventure died . but the scoundrels and the louts who sought to rival him , egged on by the\nreciters and prayer - book dealers were quarreling over their wages . after a considerable delay by the pond , he was ushered into the main salon . its stained - glass - doors , which overlooked the garden , were open . haji ' s wife came up to the curtain separating the men ' s and women ' s quarters . she greeted dash akol warmly . dash akol sat down on a cushion and said ,\nwe all miss haji . may you and your children live a long life !\ndash akol recognized kaka rostam . he stood up and moved his hand to his waist . he spat and said ,\nson of a coward ! you consider yourself a luti ? let me tell you , you are about to meet your match now !\nwho had been deprived of haji ' s property , found some breathing space . they were the toughs now . and dash akol was reduced to a mere topic at the teahouses . at the pachenar teahouse , it was rumored that they had ridiculed him saying ,\nwho ? dash akol ? he is an old windbag ! where is the old dog now ? good riddance ! he ' s taking advantage of the old haji , thinking he ' ll come into something . when he reaches his corner , he turns tail and runs .\neverywhere he entered , people began to whisper - - they made fun of him . dash akol took this all in , but he seemed to ignore it . marjan ' s love was in his veins , so much so that his heart and mind were completely absorbed .\neven on his deathbed , dash akol recognized valikhan . with a trembling voice that choked in his throat he said ,\nin my life , i had only this parrot , only you . . . hold him dear . . . give him to . . .\nthe motif of an old man falling in love with a young inaccessible girl , recurrent in hedayat\u2019s stories , acquires a socio - ethical overtone in \u201cdash akol\u201d ( fischer , p . 196 ) . the protagonist of the story , like the title characters of \u201c\u0101bji \u1e35\u0101nom\u201d ( the spinster ) , and \u201cd\u0101vud -

boy smiled and glanced towards dash akol . clenching his teeth , kaka rostam spat out ,\nlet those who have the ga . . gall to face me come out tonight for a bi . . bi . . bit of man - to - man business !\ndash akol cast a threatening look at the tea - boy who , recognizing his precarious situation , decided to ignore kaka rostam ' s order . instead , he made himself busy taking the tea glasses off the large brass tray , dipping them in hot water and carefully drying each until it glistened and screeched .\nakol and kaka rostam were such bitter enemies that each would shoot at the other ' s shadow if he could . one day dash akol had crouched contentedly on the dais of the domil teahouse , his usual haunt . a delicately - wrought bird cage , covered with a fine red cloth , stood next to him . as he sat , he stirred the ice floating in a bowl with his fingertip . suddenly , kaka rostam stepped through the door . with one hand on the sash at his waist , he tossed dash akol a contemptuous sneer and stalked to a seat on the opposite dais . he then turned towards the tea - boy and stammered ,\nbo . . bo . . boy , bring me a cu . . cu . . cup of tea !\njust then , kaka rostam arrives and the two proceed to settle their old feud . dash akol places his dagger aside in an act of manliness , and it is with this very dagger that he is mortally wounded . he succumbs to his wounds the following day , but not before entrusting his parrot to marjan .\n\u201c d\u0101\u0161 \u0101kol \u201d ( translated as \u201cdash akol\u201d by richard arnt and mansur ekhtiar , 1979 ) , one of the eleven stories in se qa\u1e6dra \u1e35un ( three drops of blood , tehran , 1932 ) , the first collection of short stories by the eminent fiction writer sadeq hedayat ( hedayat , sadeq , 1903 - 1951 ) .\nhe put his hand down and drew his cutlass . kaka rostam , who looked like rostam painted on the wall of the bathhouse , also pulled out his cutlass . dash akol jammed the tip of his cutlass into the ground , stood by and ritually lowered his head to his chest saying ,\nwhoever considers himself a luti can try to pull this cutlass out .\n\u201cdash akol , \u201d like most of the short stories hedayat wrote from the late 1920s to the mid - 1930s , is full of local color , and depicts a traditional social setting . it weaves the tragic life and death of a man with the accounts of a fast disappearing era ( ette\u1e25\u0101d , p . 214 ; naficy , p . 244 ) . told by an omnipresent , third - person narrator , \u201cdash akol\u201d is recognized as a coherent , well - structured short story ( gol\u0161iri , p . 661 ; mir\u1e63\u0101deqi , p . 99 ) , and \u201ca minor masterpiece in its own way\u201d ( katouzian , p . 127 ) , in which dialogues are \u201cwell constructed and convincing\u201d and the \u201ccolorful idiom of ordinary people\u2019\u2019 is captured remarkably ( yarshater , pp . 321 - 22 ) .\nthe relationship between literature and film has been the subject of numerous reflections and analyses . most critics see art , literature and film in terms of a living mosaic , a dynamic intersection of textual surfaces ( sanders , 2006 , p . 3 ) . the very quality can be seen in a quite successful adaptation of the short story of\ndash akol\ninto a movie . there are debates around dash akol ' s success as a film and the degree to which it remains faithful to the source text . apart from all these controversies surrounding the dialectic between the two genres , one obviously based upon the other and borne from it , it goes without saying that the movie has brought the short story into the limelight , successfully targeting and winning over the attention of a wider audience .\nthe repetition of allegories , phrases , and expressions , like rhymes in poetry , creates a rhythm in the text . at the same time , the final ambiguity of the story implies a suspension of judgement , leaving the reader with uncertainty , and a choice . was marjan aware of dash akol\u2019s affections before the parrot\u2019s confession ? were the tears she shed tears of sympathy and sorrow , or love and affection ?\ntranslations . \u201cdash akol\u201d is translated into english by richard arnt and mansur ekhtiar ( sadeq hedayat : an anthology , modern persian literature series 2 , usa , 1979 , ehsan yarshater , ed . , usa , 1979 , pp . 41 - 52 ) ; by kimberly a . brown and iraj bashiri in 1995 ; by siavosh danesh ( sadeq\u2019s omnibus : a collection of short stories by sadeq hedayat , tehran , 1971 ) ; and also by kambiz parsai ( available at the official website of sadeq hedayat foundation , urltoken . a bilingual collection of hedayat\u2019s short stories , translated in korean by gyoseob shin , is published in two volumes . the first volume of the collection includes \u201cdash akol\u201d and several other short stories . the story is also translated in french by derayeh derakhshesh in l\u2019ab\u00eeme et autres r\u00e9cits , paris , 1987 .\nin 1971 mas\u02bfud kim\u0101\u02bei produced a film based on this story to great acclaim . he skillfully transformed into images some of the descriptive passages of the story , and recreated the ambiance of turn - of - the - century iran ( naficy , p . 246 ) . it featured many leading actors in the iranian cinema , including behruz vo\u1e6fuqi and bahman mofid , who played the roles of dash akol and kaka rostam , respectively .\nvalikhan took the parrot ' s cage to his home . that afternoon marjan put the cage in front of her and stared at the bird ' s multi - colored wings , hooked beak and round tired eyes . suddenly the parrot , in a voice that echoed dash akol ' s , said ,\nmarjan . . . marjan . . . you ' ve killed me . whom can i tell ? marjan , your love has killed me .\nanxiously the teahouse owner checked over the samovar and said ,\ndid he ever disarm rostam ! one old samovar ' s all we had , and he ' s done it in .\neven though the innkeeper said this in a sorrowful tone , his allusion to rostam fueled the laughter . frustrated , the innkeeper attacked his apprentice , but dash akol , smiling , pulled out a small money purse and dashed it onto the floor . the owner picked up the purse , weighed it , and grinned .\ndash akol remembered quite well that only three days before , in the domil teahouse , kaka rostam had threatened to take him on . but he knew kaka rostam well enough to know that the latter , along with emam qoli , had plotted to make him lose face ; he decided to ignore them . he , thus , went on his way . as he went , marjan dominated his thoughts . he thought of no one but marjan and could not erase her from his mind , hard as he tried .\nfrom that day forward , dash akol got caught up in haji ' s affairs . with the help of an expert dealer , two neighborhood toughs and a scribe , he made an inventory of haji ' s possessions . he disposed of what needed to be sold , and he locked and sealed the rest in a storeroom . he had the deeds of haji ' s estate read to him , collected what was owed the estate , and paid its debts . he took care of all of this in two days and two nights . on the evening of the third day , exhausted , he headed for home . reaching seyyed haj gharib intersection , he bumped into emam qoli , the smith . emam qoli said ,\nfor two nights now , kaka rostam has been waiting to take you on . last night he said , ' there ' s a fine way to keep a deal . it seems he has forgotten his promise .\n' dash akol ran his fingers through his moustache and said ,\ndon ' t you worry about that .\nhis father had been one of the notable landowners of the fars province . when he died , his legacy had gone to his only son . but dash akol , carefree and a spender , felt no allegiance to money ( or to other worldly things ) . he devoted his life to heroic deeds , restoration of people ' s lost freedoms and philanthropy . he was a simple man , attached to none other than these goals . the money that he took in found its way either to those who were in greater need or to his diversions . these were to sit drinking strong brands of\nit seemed as though this news shocked dash akol . again he looked the messenger over and rubbed his forehead , pushing back his egg - shaped hat and revealing a bit of the untanned head . then he shook his head , pulled out his gilded - stemmed pipe , filled it with tobacco , tapped it down , lit it and said ,\nmay god bless the haji . what ' s done is done , but he really shouldn ' t have . this will cause a lot of trouble for me . anyhow , you go on ahead . i ' m on my way .\nas he turned his head , through the slit of a curtain , he saw the flushed face and the ravishing black eyes of a young girl . for a moment their eyes met , but the girl , as if coy , dropped the curtain and left . could she be called beautiful ? perhaps . in any event , her stunning eyes had worked their magic and had turned dash akol ' s life upside down . his face flushed ; he dropped his head . this young girl was marjan , haji samad ' s daughter . bursting with curiosity , she had come to meet the town ' s hero and their protector in person .\nif one of haji ' s children fell ill , day and night he would hover over the child like a nervous mother . little by little , he found himself strongly attached to them , but his feelings for marian were something else - - no doubt it was his love of marjan that helped him remain so calm . little by little , the children were ready to leave the nest . and then , that which should not have come to pass came about : a suitor asked for marjan ' s hand - - and on top of it all - - who was the husband - to - be but a man older and uglier than dash akol himself .\nthen he slipped his hand under dash akol ' s tunic material and said ,\nwhat are you wearing ? this tunic ' s completely out of fashion . whenever you want to part with it , i ' ll gladly take it off your hands for a good price .\ndash akol smiled sadly ; he took some money from his pocket , placed it in isaac the jew ' s palm and left . it was almost dusk . his body felt warm , his mind was muddled and his head ached . the alleys were still damp from the afternoon rain and the smell of the straw in the mud covering the walls blended with the perfume of orange blossoms in the air . frozen in his mind were marjan ' s face , flushed cheeks , black eyes with long eyelashes , and soft curls framing her forehead . his past memories flashed before his eyes one by one . he remembered his trips with his friends to the tombs of sa ' di and babakuhi . sometimes a smile touched his lips ; sometimes a frown wrinkled his brow . the thing that was the clearest to him was that he was afraid of his own home ; his present situation was unbearable - - he had lost all interest in it . he wanted to go away , far away . the thought of drinking all night and pouring his heart out to his parrot crossed his mind . all of his life seemed useless - - shallow and without meaning . a poem came to mind - - in a fit of impatience , he murmured :\nof opium a day and who was always causing trouble . and now that dash akol had insulted him in the teahouse , kaka rostam sat back and chewed his moustache , smarting with anger . after a while , the laughter in the teahouse had died down , but the tea - boy , pale - faced , wearing a collarless shirt , skullcap and pantaloons , continued to twist and turn , laughing and making the others in the teahouse laugh . eventually , kaka rostam lost control . he grabbed the crystal sugar - cube container and threw it at the teaboy ' s head . the sugar bowl hit instead the top of the samovar , where a pot of tea was brewing ; the whole thing got knocked over , breaking a number of cups in the process . bursting with anger , kaka rostam left the teahouse .\na few days ago , the unlucky kaka had come into the neighborhood and , seeing no opponent , had begun to throw his weight around . suddenly , out of nowhere , dash akol had arrived to ridicule him ,\nkaka ? where ' s the man of the house ? did you smoke an overdose of opium ? man , it has affected you ! but let me tell you my friend , put these cowardly , dastardly pranks aside . you ' re behaving like a lout and you are not even ashamed of it ! is this a new method of begging ? why do you abuse people by stopping them on their way home night in and night out ? try it again and , by pourya the valiant , i shall teach you a lesson . i ' ll slice you in half with this cutlass .\ndash akol was a thirty - five - year - old man , robust but rather ugly . seeing him for the first time , most people would be repulsed . but once they sat and listened to his stories , or heard about his exploits from others , they would find themselves attracted to him . those who were able to ignore the scars on his face found him a noble and attractive man with coal - dark eyes , black , bushy eyebrows , prominent cheekbones , a slender nose and an ebony beard and moustache . what had disfigured his face were the many wounds inflicted upon it . on his cheeks and forehead were the traces of saber cuts - - cuts that had healed quite unattractively , exposing shiny pink flesh . the worst of these had produced a tuck under his left eye , disfiguring the left side of his face .\nhe recited the poem with grief , disappointment and bitterness ; then , as though losing patience , or because his mind was elsewhere , he fell silent . it was dark outside when dash akol reached his usual corner , sar - e dozak . here was the same square he had spent most of his time defending during his youth . no one had dared to come forward to challenge him . without thinking , he walked over to the front stoop of a home , sat down and pulled out his pipe . he felt that the place had deteriorated ; people , like himself who had become old and broken , had changed . his eyes swam in front of him and his head throbbed . suddenly , a shadow approached him . then he heard a voice ,\nc . . cowards sneak ou . . out at n . . night !\nhe tried not to let on the depths of his sadness . on the contrary , he tried hard to occupy himself with the gathering together of the dowry . for the evening of the marriage vows , he pulled together a great feast and brought haji ' s wife and children back to their home . the large entry hall with stained windows to the yard he assigned as a salon for receiving the gentlemen . and he invited all the important men of shiraz , including the merchants and the city fathers . at 5 : 00 p . m . that day , when the guests crowded ear - to - ear in the halls and covered the finest carpets and when sweets and fruit had been laid in front of them , dash akol appeared in the same way as before with half - tousled hair . he wore a quilted cashmere tunic that reached below his knees , cut across by the shoulder - strap of his cutlass , a cashmere belt , black - twill trousers , hand - woven cotton shoes and a brand new felt cap . three men carrying various - sized ledgers followed him . everyone stared at dash akol as with long strides he walked over to the imam jom ' eh and said ,\nyour reverence , haji - - may god rest his soul - - made a will and for seven solid years has kept me in no end of trouble . his youngest son who was only five is now twelve .\npointing to the three men with ledgers who had followed him , he continued ,\nthese show haji ' s assets and belongings . all the expenses to date , including tonight ' s , i have paid out of my own pocket . now it is time for each party to go his separate way .\nat this moment he could not go on for a sob choked his throat . without adding anything , nor waiting for an answer , he dropped his head and , with tear - filled eyes , walked out of the house . as soon as he was out , he took a deep breath . he felt he had been set free , that the burden of responsibility had been lifted off his shoulders . but deep down , his heart was broken . with long strides he wandered aimlessly until he recognized isaac the jew ' s house . without hesitation , he crossed over the damp bricks into the interior of the decrepit , polluted courtyard which , surrounded by filthy hovels and a myriad of small windows , resembled a giant beehive . a coat of green slime covered the small pond in the courtyard . a sour smell hung in the air . laughing artificially , isaac the jew - - thin , with a soiled skullcap , goatee and greedy eyes - - approached him . dash akol , not in the mood for small civilities , said ,\nupon both halves of your moustache , give me a bottle of your finest brew to refresh my throat .\nhe ' d also purchased a parrot to keep himself company . he would sit in front of the parrot and pour out his heart . if dash akol were ever to ask for marjan ' s hand , her mother would be delighted to oblige . but on the other hand , he didn ' t want to be tied down by a wife and family . he wanted to be free as he had been born and reared to be . besides , he felt that if he married the girl who had been his charge , it would be a betrayal of haji ' s trust . worst of all was his face . every night he surveyed himself in the mirror : the scars , the tell - tale marks and the permanently disfigured left side . sadly he would say to himself ,\nmarjan would never love me . most likely , she ' ll find a handsome , virile young man for a husband . . . no . this is far from chivalry . she ' s a mere child of fourteen while i ' m forty - years old . what ' s to be done ? this love will be the death of me . marjan , you ' re killing me . in whom can i confide ? marjan , your love is killing me .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out the latest videos and trailers , and see which spy movies topped the box office in our mission : impossible guide .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nreza motori , who has feigned madness , escapes from an asylum and robs a factory , with the aid of a friend . afterwards , a young writer , who looks exactly like reza , visits the asylum in . . . see full summary \u00bb\nwounded by the police , a thief looks up his old friend in order to leave the proceeds of his theft with him . instead , he finds that his friend is a drug addict . he sticks around to try and . . . see full summary \u00bb\nrecently have been released from jail , ebi makes a bet with his friend that he goes and drinks in seven bars without even paying any money .\ndesiderium lyrically charts the hapless loves of a three brother : majid , they young handicapped brother with a deformed head falls in love with aghdas , a prostitute hired by his eldest . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthis film , based on a well -

long impact on me . mary apick , a young girl herself , was fantastic , as usual . it is obvious that acting is in her blood . although the story takes place many years before the movie was made , it appropriately demonstrates certain aspects of the iranian culture that is still very much alive . if you don ' t speak persian , look for a copy of this movie with subtitles . you ' ll love it .\n15 of 19 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nmayabazar telugu full length classic movie | | mayabazar color | | n . t . r , a . n . r , s . v . r\nkiosk\nyarom bia\n( ft , mohsen namjoo ) , by mostafa heravi 2009\n( sergei parajanov 1968 ) .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\n\u2018kol\u2019 evokes association with \u2018kolu , \u2019 a respected local lu\u1e6di ( see lu\u1e6di ) group in shiraz that adhered to the virtues of jav\u0101nmardi ( ma\u1e25jub , pp . 121 -

up because they were simply too good to watch from afar .\nfollowing the release of up close & personal , dunne took some time out to document the rollercoaster ride that had been the previous seven years of endless drafts on the road to getting the film made . the result was the book \u201cmonster : living off the big screen , \u201d in which the author chronicles virtually every meeting and re - write he and didion did , resulting in what has been called one of the most incredible accounts of moviemaking ever written . while up close & personal is satisfying in its own right , it reaches a whole other level of entertaining after learning of the arduous journey in bringing two of the movies\u2019 most charismatic stars to the screen .\nthough the scene in\nup close\nhas been shifted from movies and music to a collateral branch of show business , the basic dynamic of a young female eagerly moving up , being both mentored and loved by a veteran male inescapably on the way down , has been lovingly retained .\nhe continued ,\neverything we ended up doing -

shaping what was meant to be savitch\u2019s life story into an old - fashioned romance . the film did enjoy some box - office success ; in part that\u2019s due to the film\u2019s introduction of celine dion\u2019s future classic \u201cbecause you loved me\u201d as its theme .\nby signing up , you agree to our privacy policy and european users agree to the data transfer policy .\nis here for all you quotes spouting fans of the robert redford and michelle pfeiffer movie . this script is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and / or viewings of up close and personal . i know , i know , i still need to get the cast names in there and i ' ll be eternally tweaking it , so if you have any corrections , feel free to\ninstead , he says , the approach he and hudlin have been discussing will be all about storytelling . \u201cthe godfather of sport has been the great [ abc executive ] roone arledge , \u201d he explains . \u201cand i\u2019ve never done anything in a production sense where i haven\u2019t thought , \u2018what would roone do ? \u2019 the classic thing that roone came up with was the simplest \u2014 it was the up -

writes , dunne personally went to studio executive jeffrey katzenberg and supposedly asked , \u201cwhat is this film meant to be about ? \u201d katzenberg replied simply , \u201cit\u2019s about two movie stars . \u201d how true that is . there isn\u2019t a single moment in this film which doesn\u2019t highlight both redford and pfeiffer\u2019s magnetic chemistry or their striking features . an extended sequence featuring the two playing at the beach and laying in each other\u2019s arms on a gently rocking row boat are is the film\u2019s greatest highlight of this fact . the film also takes great pains to showcase the two in as many different types of scenes as possible . this is especially true of pfeiffer , who does everything from singing \u201cmy way\u201d to surviving a prison riot throughout the course of the film . in some ways , up close & personal functions as a very expensive demo reel for its two endlessly watchable stars .\nmeanwhile , loved up megan mckenna and boyfriend pete wicks have also been busy filming with megan\u2019s family in essex .\nthe good news : up close and personal is a sumptuously old -

beat musical entertainer when action - packed movies with needless romantic scenes are the order of the day in the tamil filmdom .\nwith mammooty and nandhitha das in the lead roles , the director has brought out what she wanted to convey through the movie quite easily . their controlled emotions deserve appreciation .\nthe story is set in 1962 at a small village called sundarapuri . now and then , it goes back to 1942 and returns ( told in a flash - cut method ) . the story goes like this . a young girl falls in love with an heir of a big zamindar when he visits her house to learn music . however , fate separates both and she is forced to marry her relative .\nalmost after 20 years in 1962 , she grows up to become a classical dancer ( nandhitha das ) and returns to sundarapuri . she encounters the young boy , now the actual zamindar of the village ( mammooty ) . she comes to know that mammooty has not been married in his life .\nmeanwhile , soon after her marriage , her own husband disappears . helplessly , they take a trip down the nostalgic memory lane , wondering about what could have been . the helpless pair finds no way to get united again . meanwhile , an employee in mamooty ' s house , delhi ganesh comes to know of their predicament and arranges for their wedding with the help of mammooty ' s mother ( sukumari ) . but quite cinematically , at this point enters manoj k jayan ( nandhitha ' s husband ) . the rest is whether mammooty holds nandhitha ' s hands or not with manoj k jayan entering scene .\nas a story , there is nothing much to write home about . but its treatment and the strict adherence to artistic excellence deserve plaudits . mammooty and nanditha just ease through their roles .\nthe music is the cornerstone of this movie and hats off to music maestros for pulling off such heart -

the holly and ivy represented in human form ? - secrets tumble out , the family comes together , and peace and understanding comes to pass as it should in the festive season .\n9 .\nbamboozled\n( 2000 ) can we get away with negative portrayals of race when it ' s coming from a black director ? that ' s the very question that spike lee asked in his provocative 2000 film about a black , ivy league - educated tv writer who accidentally creates a minstrel show featuring characters in blackface . the idea was complex and brilliant ; unfortunately , the film was messy and disorganized , leading critics to pan the film .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\na lovely film from the early fifties , none of the sickly sentimentality which hollywood would have made of a family christmas gathering .\nwe have an annual christmas ritual of watching the movie ' the holly and the ivy ' every year . it is all about families , christmas , modern life and the place of religion in it . this radio play is the origin of the movie , so i particularly enjoyed hearing the original source . there are some differences , as would be expected , between the movie and the radio play , but the movie is faithful to the play and uses most of the same dialogue . christmas is the ' best of times and the worst of times ' for families and the play captures this beautifully .\nthe actresses playing aunt lydia and aunt bridget - margaret halstan and maureen delaney - originated their roles on stage . they are the only performers in the film to have been brought over from the play .\nas a fan of the film and of david lynch myself , i found that reading this pamphlet brought about a constant flow of triggered reminders , snap shots of memory of a film that i love and characters and scenes that i felt like i knew long ago . \u201cthe opening poem \u2018go somewhere with me\u2019 by collin kelley gives us the beginning and the end all at once in the first lines with :\nthis list collects every film from the starting list that became they shoot pictures don ' t they ' s 1000 greatest films . this\u2026\nthis is a wonderful production from 1971 of a delightful and moving play , made into a film starring ralph richardson , celia johnson and margaret leighton . this fully lives up to the film version with all performances just perfect for each role . i wholeheartedly recommend it - particularly at christmas when the play is set .\ni was delighted to find the holly and the ivy on dvd and looked forward to seeing it again after an interval of many years . one of the most cherished episodes in the film for me is the children ' s performance of the nativity play , which could hardly have been anything other than the real mccoy , so artlessly halting and unpolished is it . to my great disappointment the section has been edited out of the film on this disc : no room at the inn becoming no room on the dvd , clearly . so if , like me , you are after this particular highlight , forget it where this print of the film is concerned . of course , the rest of the production is wonderful , with superb performances from a very reliable british cast , led by ralph richardson . but it ' s just a pity that the icing is not on this particular christmas cake , and it ' s a bit off to sell an incomplete picture , to say the least . please put the missing scene back in !\nwhat does this say about our society , that the economy can improve and living conditions get worse ? i signed away my moral and intellectual rights to planet ivy , whose owner will probably float the company and sail away into the sunset , thanking us all for our \u201cvoluntary contribution\u201d .\n\u2018lip synching\u2019 by juliet cook is playful in its form and rhythm and dances around the lip synching theme which is a nod to the \u2018this is the girl\u2019 singing audition scene in the film . the lines change around in each stanza , until the reality has shifted to something else entirely .\n\u201cp . s . i love you\u201d is rated pg - 13 ( parents strongly cautioned ) . caution : this film may cause sniffles .\nthe holly and the ivy\nis the only realistic christmas movie of the 1950 ' s . it tells the story of an english minister , ralph richardson , and his three conflicted adult children : margaret leighton , celia , johnson , and denholm elliott . everybody in the cast does a great acting job . this is mr . richardson ' s last great role as a leading man in a movie . the story is like riding a roller coaster . christmas should be a calm time for families , but it is not for this english family . this movie is a forgotten gem .\nso blue and hot and doomy with her cream beginning to clot with geriatric insects floating to the top they clink her limbs sting her sickly sweet girl - on - girl mirage balloon the jitters the cryptic jitterbug contest dream in which her fingers spread her blue nails shed like dead sequins in a key - shaped can in another indiscreet screen test desperate suckling of the metal rim\u2019 karen head takes a slightly different approach in her poem \u2018amnesia\u2019 . instead of referring directly to the film she talks about the experience of watching the film in a cinema with older ladies tutting at the lesbian scenes . the image of watching this film at the cinema is itself a little play on the theme of people playing characters and she gets nicely meta as she refers to the actors themselves as she writes :\nak : i think it & apos ; s cool that one of the best and most popular cosplayers is an asian woman , considering how few asian characters there are to cosplay in american comics , film / tv and games .\ni love good films of all eras whether they are old and b & w ; or more recent and in colour . for me , this is a film that i would play while i ' m still in bed early one christmas eve / day or boxing day morning before guests arrive or before going out . though for some people who are used to faster paced movies there might not be enough going on in this film visually . in this respect the fact that there are scenes with snow and an understated christmas background is vital to the success of the film . if it was set at any other time of year it would be a harder film to sell . this is a good english film set at a christmas time and i am surprised that i have not seen it advertised on telly before , or maybe i have overlooked it in the listings . i bought it because there are not enough english old time christmas set films where you can enjoy the feeling of nostalgia , except in well known films such as scrooge . if i have a couple of minor quibles it is that the film ends abruptly and according to previous reviewers , a couple of scenes are missing . the picture and sound quality are good and this dvd is probably the only uk release that is likely to be made .\ni work for a magazine called planet ivy . the magazine has a pool of \u201cmore than 500 writers\u201d \u2013 the majority of whom work for absolutely nothing . this is in our contracts , which state : \u201cin the event that the contributor chooses to provide content to the company , the contributor does so of his own volition and without expectation of payment or compensation . \u201d and further on : \u201cthe contributor hereby assigns to the company all existing and future intellectual property rights . \u201d\nthe theme of illusion and dreams is fervent throughout but i cannot stress enough how jam - packed this little pamphlet is with everything in between these dreams too . every line is like a strobe that throws light on a scene you\u2019d forgotten about , but that\u2019s not to say that these poems don\u2019t stand up on their own merit . it\u2019s hard to tell what someone who has not seen the film would make of these poems , i\u2019m quite sure a lot would just go over the head but like the film itself , you don\u2019t necessarily have to understand what\u2019s going on ( indeed it took me about 4 viewings to understand the twist ) to appreciate the imagery and humour and tension . the film aside , parts of the last poem \u2018untitled\u2019 by esther johnson stand up alone :\nmaureen delaney , hugh williams , margaret halstan and john gregson have major parts , william hartnell , robert flemyng , roland culver and dandy nichols have walk - on roles , and the film is sensitively photographed in black and white by the skilled ted scaife ( camera operator on black narcissus and the third man ) . the director , george more o ' ferrall ( 1907 - 82 ) , worked largely in tv and made only six feature films , most famously the heart of the matter ( 1953 ) .\nbf : the tron dress that victoria and jinyo created was beautiful , fashion - foward , and looked absolutely wearable , plus i loved the heart - shaped identity disk . and as much as i got stressed out about crabcat splitting up for episode three , i also really loved holly & apos ; s liliari costume and alien prop ( from galaxy quest ) and jessica & apos ; s tank girl costumes . i think that it was really cool to see that cosplay ( especially as a duo or a group ) might not only be about having the proper skills to complete the costume , but finding the right balance of work and play ; with holly and jessica , they & apos ; re both extremely talented individually , but their relationship as cosplayers really resonated with me ( and with my cosplay partner - in - crime , ali kay ) .\n\u2018in the movies , everything is illusion . watts and haring play betty and rita , are diane and camilla , and in reality we can be anyone we want \u2013\u2019\nit is in this light , perhaps , that russell brand\u2019s recent call for political transformation gains its traction . when this is published , my work will be taken down from planet ivy media , all rights reserved . and i am glad it will be . please , spread the word , and don\u2019t forget to share .\nat planet ivy , we offer a way for writers to get exposure on our site as well as sending their work to the huffington post and guardian . we make it as flexible as possible to fit around other jobs \u2013 we\u2019ve even had a city lawyer write for us \u2013 and offer feedback and constructive criticism so that writers improve while they work with us .\nclassic post - war drama starring ralph richardson as martin gregory , a clergyman whose commitment to his religious duties leads him to neglect his family . things come to a head at the family ' s christmas gathering . the film also stars celia johnson , margaret leighton and denholm elliott .\ncorrection : a previous version of this article referred to\nbirth of a nation\nas the first feature - length film . it was not . a quote from downy cited to entertainment weekly has also been updated .\nand it\u2019s nice that throughout this pamphlet there\u2019s focus on characters outside of the main storyline such as the director and that scene where he comes back to find his wife in bed with someone else and his revenge is to pour paint into her jewellery box . the poems are playful and thankfully free of pretension . as a piece of fandom it\u2019s spirited and brimming with detail , especially seen in emilie zoey baker\u2019s numbered \u2018no hay banda . there is no band\u2019 , which charts our way from beginning to end of the film and had me smiling all the way through :\n5 .\nthe king and i\n( 1956 ) despite his penchant for exaggerating his exotic russian background , actor yul brynner was certainly not asian when he took on the role as king mongkut of siam on broadway and , eventually , the original film adaptation of\nthe king and i .\nbrynner would go on to reprise his role as king mongkut for the rest of his life , portraying the character over 4 , 000 on stage until his death in 1985 .\n6 .\nbreakfast at tiffany ' s\n( 1961 ) mickey rooney ' s cringe -

worthy set pieces , some involving mr . butler and a guitar . the film is not a beautiful object or a memorable cultural one , and yet it charms , however awkwardly . ms . swank\u2019s ardent sincerity and naked emotionalism dovetail nicely with mr . lagravenese\u2019s melodramatic excesses : together the director and his star create a swell of feeling that helps blunt your reservations about being played as an easy mark , a sap or , worse , a girl , even if that\u2019s exactly what you are .\nbeware . this is a cut version . two scenes are missing : the children ' s nativity and the scene where margaret and mick join carol singers in the village .\n10 .\nwhite chicks\n( 2004 ) otherwise known for their uninspired comedy , brothers shawn and marlon wayan flipped their blackface stereotype on its head when they appeared in whiteface drag as two\nwhite chicks\nwho are actually undercover cops . the critics weren ' t convinced ; the new york daily news reviewed the film as brimming with\nwitless racial clich\u00e9s , stale sexism and homophobia and enthusiastic celebrations of extreme flatulence .\nholmes , his friend watson ( or his brother mycroft ) work to solve the mysteries of the three gables , the dying detective , the golden pince -

year - old new yorker who , shortly after the story takes off , becomes a widow . her husband , gerry ( gerard butler ) , however , doesn\u2019t fully disappear . instead he visibly lingers in her apartment \u2014 he seems less like a ghost than like a manifestation of mad grief \u2014 and in the letters he left behind . these letters are full of bossy instructions for holly on how to grieve and live . they are , in essence , a primer on how to be a widow .\nbut the reason this rivalry is in the show at all is for the purposes of a conflict . for dramatic reasons , yaya can & apos ; t be the unchallenged matriarch , even if she actually is . we see her prot\u00e9g\u00e9 monika corrupted by the dark sexy side ! the truth is , based on what we & apos ; re shown , monika & apos ; s poison ivy cosplay wasn\u2019t really that scandalous at all , it just wasn & apos ; t a winner . but monika is nevertheless depicted as being punished for being too sexual and loses the contest and becomes despondent and ashamed . that\u2019s the feeling all reality shows want you to have about sex .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\nbf : yeah , over the past couple of years i & apos ; ve been aware of reality television & apos ; s growing interest in tapping into the cosplay market , especially with the success of project runway and face off and the growing popularity of nerd culture and cosplay in the broader popular culture .\n8 .\nsoul man\n( 1986 ) what ' s more outlandish : the idea that a white privileged college student could disguise himself as a black man in order to win a harvard law school scholarship , or that a film about that very topic would be financed ?\nsoul man\nis the unfortunate reality of the latter .\nmichael palin undertakes a journey by the most direct route possible with the most land to cross from the north pole to the south pole .\nheroes of cosplay is a docu - series that follows nine cosplayers ( yaya han , riki lecotey , monika lee , victoria schmidt , chloe dykstra , jessica merizan , holly conrad , becky young , and jesse lagers ) as they work on intricate , ambitious costumes and travel to compete in costume contests at conventions all around the united states . the show is the cosplay community & apos ; s most visible representation in the national media so far . unfortunately , heroes of cosplay has garnered a fair amount of criticism from within and outside the fandom , from speculations of\nfixed\ncostume contests to possible copyright infringement of cosplay photography .\nbut family tensions soon come to the fore , and as skeletons tumble from closets , the vicar finds his christmas spirit sorely tested and is forced to reconsider all the values he holds dear . . .\n2 .\nthe jazz singer\n( 1927 )\nthe jazz singer\nfollows jakie rabinowitz ( al jolson ) , who rejects his jewish heritage in order to pursue his dreams of being a popular jazz singer -

go . he puts her in the middle of the frame and in a succession of mostly flattering outfits , and smartly surrounds her with well - ripened second bananas , notably kathy bates , as holly\u2019s protective mother , and lisa kudrow and gina gershon , as her best friends . harry connick jr . swings in and out as a possible love interest , as does the temperature - raiser jeffrey dean morgan , a television actor ( \u201cgrey\u2019s anatomy , \u201d \u201cweeds\u201d ) who bears a striking physical resemblance to javier bardem . mr . morgan\u2019s appearance in \u201cp . s . i love you\u201d finishes off mr . butler ( last seen slaughtering persians in \u201c300\u201d ) far more effectively than does gerry\u2019s terminal illness .\nthe film stars hilary swank , a square - jawed beauty at once angular and bosomy , vaguely masculine and unequivocally feminine , whose greatest roles \u2014 in \u201cboys don\u2019t cry\u201d and in particular \u201cmillion dollar baby\u201d \u2014 have exploited her ambiguous physicality to enormous advantage . like some of the greatest sob sisters of the big screen \u2014 think of barbara stanwyck and joan crawford \u2014 she has a kind of working - class toughness bordering on hardness that makes the eventual cracks in her armature all the more effective . unlike stanwyck and crawford , though , ms . swank can come across as intensely , almost desperately eager to please , which invests her with tremulous pathos or makes you feel embarrassed on her behalf . stanwyck would have booted her offscreen . crawford would have eaten her for breakfast .\nwhen the latest heir to the baskerville estate seems to be threatened by a family curse , only the master detective , sherlock holmes , can find out the truth .\n10 . night winds blow the lovers and they land in red velvet . everything is a recording .\n) from the sideboard , it ' s a different one . the close up shot of the photo shows him in uniform as opposed to civilian dress on the sideboard .\nbf : yeah , i saw a lot of people who were really upset about what was\nsaid\nin regards to cosplay pet peeves and body types , and yaya and riki getting a lot of flack for voicing the harsher view . i think that it was clear that that the cosplay pet peeves discussion was artificially prompted and edited to create a rift between cosplay elite and cosplay amateurs .\nat christmas , a vicar ' s family gathers , ostensibly for a warm reunion , but long - simmering problems and conflicts rise up to drive away any holiday cheer . this is , on some level , the granddaddy of the dysfunctional family plot as it came to be used in soap operas , tv - movies , and film . i ' m sure it ' s not the first ( gone with the wind might well count as one ) but it feels like it set a template that is still followed . based on a play , it ' s very stagy but the acting is superb all around , and i enjoyed seeing a remarkably young denholm elliott as the youngest son . in some ways , christmas isn ' t really all that crucial to the plot , but there are several lovely holiday\u2026\ndavid attenborough discusses the biomass and life in a variety of eco - systems spanning many of the environments found on earth ( from tropical to polar ) .\nak : the crucial difference between heroes of cosplay and other reality series is that cosplay is a creative pursuit . the talents of these people are manifest and the focus necessarily remains on the costumes - - much more than i would have expected based on 51 minds\u2019 track record . the competition format makes it more of a reality show / game show hybrid .\nprime members enjoy fast & free shipping , unlimited streaming of movies and tv shows with prime video and many more exclusive benefits .\nat critical points , those hostages to fortune seemed about to be called in : notably when the brutal phoenix park assassinations ( by a fringe fenian group ) jeopardised his just - formed alliance with the liberals in 1882 . that the political entente survived the politics of the last atrocity was essentially a victory for parnell ' s and gladstone ' s leadership and imagination . the current relevance of this story for anglo - irish relations need not be spelt out , and robert kee tells it with a combination of passion and control which appropriately echoes his hero .\nak : the fear and awe with which the other cosplayers talk about yaya is also really intriguing . in episode two , monika lee even talks about becoming yaya & apos ; s apprentice and being\ndiscovered\nby her .\nak : finally , there was a doctor doom cosplayer in the first contest that was the best doom i\u2019ve ever seen . the costume was spot - on kirby and he even screamed , \u201crichards ! ! ! \u201d\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nak : jessica\u2019s tank girl was also fabulous and , as she explained , took tank girl cosplay to a new level by stripping out the cute and focusing on the badass qualities of the jamie hewlett character . victoria and jinyo\u2019s tron dress was also a favorite of mine . i really like cosplays that are cute twists on a familiar character or look but that still express the essential idiom of the source . in this case , victoria looked like a woman at a formal event or posh nightclub in the grid . great stuff .\nunemployed graduates are termed \u201cjob snobs\u201d by the same party that tripled university fees , and a truly vicious circle is engendered : forced to work for free in return for their jobseeker\u2019s allowance , the unemployed are corralled back and forth , adding value to transnational corporations without the hope of ever securing a job .\nak : by a wide margin my favorite is riki\u2019s rocketeer . as longtime ca readers know , we are huge dave stevens fans and have been really supportive of idw publishing\u2019s rocketeer adventures anthology , which is the source of riki\u2019s cosplay . cartoonist darwyn cooke came up with the maddeningly simple yet manifestly brilliant idea of having the rocketeer\u2019s girlfriend betty - - modeled by stevens after bettie page - - finds herself in the positioning of wearing the famous jacket and rocket pack herself and rescuing the rocketeer for a change . because this is a rocketeer story it naturally plays out in such a way that she happened to be wearing nothing but vintage lingerie at the time , which riki bravely made part of her costume along with the custom jacket , buttons and homemade helmet and jetpack . i can just imagine riki reading that story and getting struck by a lightning bolt of inspiration , and it really shows in her cosplay . it\u2019s one of the best cosplays of any character i\u2019ve ever , ever seen .\nkatharine ( never ' kitty ' except in the yellow press ) was a well - connected liberal englishwoman whose charm , vivacity and intelligence captured the ostensibly icy parnell from an early stage . through the 1880s they lived in domestic seclusion at eltham , while her husband willie came and went from his london flat , and her vastly wealthy aunt across the park subsidised the household . the latter ' s fortune provided the main reason for keeping the shaky menage on the road ; recent biographers have assumed that willie ' s connivance was a fait accompli from an early stage . kee presents the relationship as much more ambiguous , and the husband ' s resentment of his rival as correspondingly more vehement . letters often bear him out , though the evidence in katharine ' s bombshell memoirs in 1914 may have been doctored in the o ' shea interest ( very few of the letters therein are given in facsimile ) . but kee has , among many other adjustments , re - established o ' shea ' s political credentials more convincingly than any other biographer .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\n8 . the audition . there was so much breath in the room it would relax an asthmatic . \u2019\nbf : a lot of the show has felt very scripted , like it\u2019s deliberately creating drama between certain cosplayers . there has been some criticism of the editing of the show in terms of truncating quotes out of context . as both a fan of cosplay and as someone who has a major fascination with reality television and some insight into that business , how do you feel about the show in relation to the fandom ?\nat 23 , and writing for an online - only magazine , i am a part of this landscape of exploitation , an atavistic \u201cinternship\u201d culture that has been able to thrive in large part because of the global financial crisis , but that has been crucially aided in the uk by the conservative party\u2019s conclusive establishment of great britain plc . among the worst hit by welfare reforms are those between 18 and 25 . there are approximately 7 . 5 million neets across the eu , nearly 1 million of whom are in the uk , and it is to the young unemployedthat these exploitative media sites appeal most .\nfrom the early 1880s , much as parnell ' s domestic life revolved round eltham , his political life centred itself in britain ; he removed himself from continuing land agitation in ireland ( where the outcome of the land war had been to the advantage of strong farmers rather than subsistence tenants ) . the liberal commitment to home rule tied his hands ; he could no longer look for tory counter - bids ( more likely at the time than they appear in retrospect ) , and the treacly rhetoric of a ' union of hearts ' replaced confrontation politics . parnell continued to cast a cold eye on both british opportunism and irish sentimentality : kee conveys perhaps better than anyone the quality of royal remoteness that made him a great leader and eventually an icon for yeats and joyce . but he also analyses the irrationality of his passions , and his ' masterful talent for making the truth what he wanted it to be ' .\nperhaps because of this masculine - feminine ambiguity , ms . swank has not often been cast as a romantic foil opposite men . she wooed another woman beautifully in \u201cboys don\u2019t cry , \u201d and in \u201cmillion dollar baby\u201d played the adoring daughter to a surrogate father , a symbolic romance conducted principally inside the confines of a boxing ring . one reason she was so good in brian de palma\u2019s convoluted noir \u201cthe black dahlia , \u201d in which she crept around like poison ivy , is that her performance as a femme fatale is set inside quotation marks . she didn\u2019t register as a toxically dangerous woman but as an idea of that irresistible sexist clich\u00e9 . she filled out her character\u2019s snug gown as a drag queen would .\nit is christmas eve and the family are gathering at reverend martin gregory ' s norfolk vicarage . a soldier son destined for oxbridge , two elderly aunts with a passion for chatter , a cousin with a military background and a pair of daughters who are both hiding secrets join the vicar to celebrate the festive season .\nbf : yaya is someone who was at the forefront of bringing the cosplay scene more into the public eye . she & apos ; s someone who has created a lifestyle and a career out of this hobby . she & apos ; s someone who has clearly worked to perfect every costume that she creates , probably because she is so aware of her role in the cosplay community . to be judged and critiqued by someone like that in the community , whose attention to detail and craftsmanship is admirable and meticulous , i can see why some of these cosplayers were extremely intimidated .\nak : well , the primary function of a reality show is to create conflict and make people look like a - - holes . 51 minds , the company that makes this show , is one of the all - time bests at this . they did all the great vh1 \u201ccelebreality\u201d shows like the surreal life , flavor of love , rock of love , charm school and i love money . the whole point is to take people from certain lifestyles or scenes - - in the case of those shows , z - list celebrities , groupies , strippers , juiceheads - - and throw them in a thunderdome and make them fight for fame and / or money . that is essentially what & apos ; s gone on in heroes of cosplay , but with cosplayers .\n7 .\ntrading places\n( 1983 ) this hit eddie murphy comedy ( an ' 80s take on\nthe prince and the pauper\n) couldn ' t have been more un -

episode run now out there for all to see ( you can watch them on syfy & apos ; s youtube channel if you missed them ) , ca editor and reality tv obsessive andy khouri joined me for a discussion about the controversial show , the current state of cosplay fandom , and the nature of geek - centric reality television .\nit would be easy to dismiss \u201cp . s . i love you , \u201d about the agonies visited on a young married couple , as the big - screen equivalent of a paperback romance . certainly the refined critical mind understands that this is the kind of artful emotion machine that the movies have been making since the very first tear slid down an actress\u2019s face , the droplet seen \u2014 and experienced \u2014 around the world by audiences who answered that bead of dew with a grateful flood of their own . cry us a river , mary pickford !\nmichael palin embarks on another epic journey of exploration and adventure , this time 15 , 000 miles through 18 countries around the pacific rim .\nguarantee the perfect movie night with tickets from fandango . find theater showtimes , watch trailers , read reviews and buy movie tickets in advance .\nwell done ! very well handled family drama that is perhaps darker and more cynical than expected but balanced by an ending that , while pat , is appropriate given the hopeless of the middle section .\neach of them has a little secret to tell , even if , in the case of his son it ' s that the entire family felt as if they could never tell his the unvarnished truth about themselves . one daughter wants to get married and move away but can ' t bear to leave the old man and can ' t even tell him that she ' s in love , while the other has had an affair with a now dead american airman and had a son by him who has also died , all of which she\u2026\nbut i am not happy to continue participating in the condescending game of part - time service sector cultural capitalism , where i am told that it is a luxury to be able to \u201cchoose\u201d when i \u201cwant\u201d to work , and when i don\u2019t . i am far from unique . the zero - pay contract may be the jewel in the new - media crown , but almost every industry is exploiting those crippled by the cruel and post - digital economic pattern .\nbut his life was replete with ironies . an apparently ignorant young squire from a protestant ascendancy background , he commandeered the irish home rule party at westminster in the late 1870s ; he subsequently achieved national dominance by heading the struggle of tenant against landlord and delivering fenian - style language from parliamentary platforms . the home rule formula which he forced on to the british political agenda was far from separatist republicanism , but still radical enough to split the liberal party when gladstone accepted it . the controversial alliance between ex - revolutionary young turk and grand old man collapsed when parnell refused to stand down after being cited in the o ' shea divorce case in 1890 ; opposed by the majority of his party , he died very suddenly in 1891 , aged 45 . still , the magic remained ; and as an old opponent remarked long afterwards , ' if we had the voters , parnell had their sons ' .\nak : we mentioned this part before with the chloe\nhero edit ,\nbut we should get into the big , bloggable wtf moment of the whole show so far : the discussion about body types and how cosplayers should be conscious of how they will be judged online . the editing here is very obviously manipulative because nobody really says a complete thought . here & apos ; s how the conversation was cut together , including the one - on - one setups that are intercut as it happens :\nbf : yes and no . i think that a lot of people in the fandom ( whether they cosplay or not ) are naturally competitive due to the nature of geek culture , but with cosplay it & apos ; s a bit skewed and complicated . on the show , they emphasize the competition because all the contestants are entering\nweekly\ncontests at conventions , which of course will naturally lead to pitting the cosplayers against one another . however , i think it & apos ; s important to note that the majority of cosplayers at conventions aren & apos ; t entering costume contests or masquerades - - they & apos ; re just strutting around and taking photos .\nmovies that make you bawl were sometimes called five - hankie weepies , a sneery label calculated to insult the film and the teary filmgoer alike . there aren\u2019t a lot of these made anymore in america , mainly because most of our movies now are about men and not women . even so , there are plenty of covert male weepies , films that transform emotions into actions , including acts of violence . \u201cmichael clayton\u201d is a male weepy , as is \u201camerican gangster , \u201d which turns a duel between tough guys into a veritable drum circle of two . \u201cp . s . i love you\u201d is more obviously a weepy , but because it leavens sorrow with laughter , it probably requires no more than three hankies . i wouldn\u2019t know : i just used the back of my hand .\nexplore popular sci - fi movies and tv shows available to stream with prime video .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nandy khouri : from the non - cosplayer & apos ; s perspective , i think there was a point in history where cosplay was this derisive , undignified thing that people associated with comic book and sci - fi / fantasy conventions . those cheap cardboard costumes , the infamous\ntron guy\nin spandex . and then cosplay seemed to shift into the domain of seriously creative people who looked like models and created professional quality costumes . the biographical content of heroes of cosplay puts yaya han at the forefront of this shift . what & apos ; s her deal ?\nafter the other reviews , i came to this hopeful , but finished bored . this flat adaptation betrays its stage origins badly . the christmas setting is totally superfluous to the plot - it could be a wet sunday in april for all the atmosphere it adds . i know it is a different era , but would somebody be able to keep\nthe big secret\nfrom their family for four years ? the only plus was any chance to watch margaret leighton and celia johnson . one for the charity shop i think .\nreceive a free * exclusive ' ant -

held secrets and grievances are finally aired and brought to some sort of conclusion .\nthe o ' shea relationship was one tightrope parnell walked for a decade , oblivious to gossip , dempsteresque newspaper paragraphs and the mounting disquiet of his own party . there were other balancing acts , too , notably involving his apparent endorsement of separatist language in the early part of his career . kee has resurrected little - noticed speeches and shows parnell ' s adept use of fenian - speak for british as well as irish audiences ; it fits well with the theory , often reiterated but never proved , of a concordat between the fenians and the home rulers , in 1873 , which gave the parliamentarians three years to show what they could do . parnell ' s speeches from 1875 seem calculated to show the ' advanced men ' that one mp at least was keeping the faith . it conferred a heroic aura , distanced him from his background and helped him displace his leader butt ; yet it delivered vulnerable hostages to fortune .\nmore tickets = more points = more movies on us ! rack up vip + points for every ticket you buy to score streaming movies and discounts on tickets and movie gear .\nmichael palin owns what must be the most - used passport in britain . now it has been taken out of the drawer once again for the making of his new one - off documentary , around the world in 20 . . . see full summary \u00bb\nin fact , rather a lot . this book stems from decades of obsession , and a vast trawl of contemporary newspapers : for kee shows , better than anyone , just how far parnell ' s reputation was made by journalists . he also brings to the subject a genius for forceful narrative and dramatic effect . and he has made the decision , simple but very effective , to centre parnell ' s career where his priorities ( rightly or wrongly ) lay : his private life with katharine o ' shea , wife of a parliamentary colleague . thus the mounting excitement of the land war , and the speed with which parnell came to terms with gladstone , are related to this secret obsession . unintentionally , this replays many of the criticisms of his colleagues after the split ; but it is psychologically very convincing .\nbetty felon : yaya han is one of the biggest names in the cosplay world . she & apos ; s been cosplaying for over a decade and was one of the first cosplayers to develop a major web presence with her cosplay work . in fact , yaya han was one of the first people i looked up to when i started getting involved in the cosplay / convention scene when i was a teenager , so i totally understand if people also look up to her with both awe and pure intimidation .\nintelligently written and well acted , only marred by an ending that ' s too pat .\nfirst -

- his costume was outstanding ! i think one of the downsides of this show is that they don & apos ; t include any information on the other contestants of the contests . i would love more footage about some of the other cosplayers .\ni really enjoyed this audio cd similar in vein to dear octopus . family arrive for christmas and secrets are revealed and family values affirmed . a nice feel good ending , i liked it so much i bought the dvd which is still available on amazon .\nnothing provides more historiographical mileage than an enigma , and the 19th - century irish home ruler charles stewart parnell comes ready - made for immortality : a charismatic leader of irish nationalism who nearly brought off peaceable independence ( or at least autonomy ) , a man who stood for everything and nothing ; finally , a moses who was cast out by his people in sight of the promised land , and lost the world for love . no wonder that he subsequently ' deviated into literature ' , as conor cruise o ' brien put it ( an ironic fate for a man whose reading was largely limited to alice in wonderland and youatt ' s the horse ) .\nenter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email .\nfulfilment by amazon ( fba ) is a service amazon offers sellers that lets them store their products in amazon ' s warehouses , and amazon directly does the picking , packing , shipping and customer service on these items . something amazon hopes you ' ll especially enjoy : fba items are eligible for and for amazon prime just as if they were amazon items ."]}

action ' film . if it were submitted and nominated , though , i don ' t see it necessarily being the front - runner . as well - received as tjb was , zootopia had the better reception . plus , it doesn ' t really fit the pre -

television , canal + , who now has over 4 million subscribers .\nof the three digital bouquets , canalsatellite , controlled by canal + , shot first . canalsatellite was already an existing satellite platform , but was analog , carrying only the thematic channels that one could find on cable . the digital service was launched in april 1996 with additional channels , interactive services , multiplexing , of canal + most notably , and pay per view , making a total of 40 channels . already carrying canal j , as well as cartoon network , canalsatellite numerique was less in need than the other bouquets to create a children ' s channel . but aiming to present the best and widest reaching offer , the service worked out exclusive satellite carriage deals , as has been achieved with disney channel france . canalsatellite is to date the leading platform with 440 , 000 digital subscribers ( plus 130 , 000 using the older analog technology ) .\nkidscreen title , tagline and logo are trademarks of , and the events are produced by brunico marketing inc .\n) is an animated television series from croatia film andem . tv / haffadiebold , with animation by neptuno films of barcelona , spain . it is a spin -

running youth sitcoms . when the launch of ab sat established a competition with tps , their already sensitive relationship with tf1 , a shareholder of tps , became worse . in fact , tf1 has canceled all of ab ' s children ' s shows for september . sure of its frs 1 billion yearly turnover and its prominent catalogue , ab went to the ny stock exchange to finance its bouquet where it received frs 888 . 9 million . ab sat ' s concept is totally different than the previous two : it is cheap . whereas the others start at around frs 100 per month , ab starts at frs 40 per month which includes access to all 18 new niche channels with themes ranging from action to romance to erotic , to . . . cartoons . unable to enjoy the same megaforce financial backing as its two competitors , ab sat has not yet benefited from a consistent launch campaign , and its subscribership is low with only 11 , 000 by the end of june . ab sat does not have , however , such a high break - even level , needing only 400 , 000 subscribers compared to at least twice that for the others . because of their concept , the ab channels are not running after fresh programming . they rely heavily on ab ' s existing catalogue . 90 % of ab cartoon ' s programming comes from its ' library ( ab handles 15 , 000 animated episodes ) and as for the rest , the ab channels are known as the ones paying the lowest acquisition prices . ab cartoon ' s concept is to run the\noldies but goodies\nanimated series during the day and anime at night . though the budget is not unveiled , it is said to be in the frs 20 million bracket .\ni don ' t get it . why is the jungle book suddenly a top pick ? and why does that make zootopia ( or any other potentially good animated film that ' s coming out later in the year ) less likely of a contender ? i mean , the jungle book has some stunning animation , but the academy has already proven time and time again that they don ' t judge the animation category on a technical level . a lot of voters just pick the\nsafest\nchoice that will appeal to everyone , and the jungle book , as critically - praised as it is , does not carry as much of an emotional - impact as zootopia . all of the oscar - winning pixar films prove that , no matter what kind of beautiful masterpiece of an arthouse animated film you make , voters seem to like emotionally - effective morals . . . especially if those morals are relevant to modern - day issues ( and earn about a billion dollars in the box office ) .\nwhich will be released in the uk / ireland in 2016 has yet to secure u . s . distribution .\ndisney channel france has for its part managed to get access to most of the cable systems thanks to its strong label . operators figured they could benefit from disney ' s image and that it would help boost subscriptions . the disney channel is the only kids ' channel to have positioned itself as pay tv . they too are betting on its strong label , powerful in not only the kids ' minds , but also in the ones who have the wallet , the parents . it tries to establish itself as a french channel , appealing to families , and perfect for baby - sitting . launched in march , the first figures have proved far better than expected , with 200 , 000 subscribers registered by the end of june . this was their goal for the end of one year . however , these results are to be taken prudently . how much extra will people want to spend when they have access to an increasing number of children ' s channels ? disney channel ' s subscription rate is 35 francs per month . most of disney channel ' s current subscribers - 170 , 000 - come from canalsatellite , whose first subscribers , attracted by novelty , seem at this point to be in the mood to take a quasi complete service . 70 % also subscribe to canal + . the disney channel has only achieved 30 , 000 subscribers from cable to date . disney ' s animated features are a good asset . however , their broadcast is rare , probably so as to not hurt their healthy home video revenues . disney programming only makes up 50 % of the channel ' s schedule , and being structured as a french channel it has to meet certain quotas . even if they have negotiated a progressive deal with the regulatory body csa , the channel only has to air french programs 30 % of the time for this year . obtaining french shows is currently a headache , especially in the children ' s programming field . not only because of increasing concentration of catalogues , but also because , tf1 , france 3 and m6 are the biggest commissioners of animated series and of course , the cable and satellite rights often go to . . . teletoon . to enter the market , the disney channel practices higher acquisition prices and intends to do pre - acquisitions and a few co - productions to get fresh product . in order to succeed , the channel will have to prove it is offering an especially worthy product ; one that people will want to pay for and renew .\ntwo friends facing self -

' ' that ' s one of the good jokes .\na wall street investment banker who has been set up as the linchpin of his company ' s mob - backed ponzi scheme is relocated with his family to aunt madea ' s southern home .\na prosecutor ( mr . perry ) needs a safe place to stash george while he turns him into a star witness , so he sends george and his family to live with his aunt madea .\none of the most striking things about madea\u2019s witness protection , then , is that it hews more closely to the tone of a comedy than perhaps any perry film before it , largely because the typical struggling - black - woman subplot has been exchanged for one about a hapless white man named george needleman , played by eugene levy . levy brings a great deal of humor to the film ( as does denise richards , who plays his yoga - loving trophy wife ) , but his subplot , in which he\u2019s ushered into witness protection after taking the fall in a corporate ponzi scheme , has less inherent pathos than , say , the story of a young woman whose abusive fianc\u00e9e won\u2019t allow her to leave him , which was the robust plot of madea\u2019s family reunion . witness protection is the first madea film not based on one of perry\u2019s enormously successful plays , which , along with the introduction of a few recognizable white stars , has lead many to speculate that this is perry\u2019s attempt to open his franchise up to a broader audience . but make no mistake : his peculiar , distinctive approach hasn\u2019t been the least bit diluted , which is to say that perry fans will find as much to love here as in any of the films that came before it .\nwolverine publicity : madea initially . over the years , perry has begun to focus less on madea , even if her name is still in the title .\nlike the tragically insulated artist that is george lucas , perry being the master of his own madeaverse can serve not just as a boon , but as a creative hindrance as well . \u201cwitness protection\u201d is a light comedy of race , occasionally delving into good ol\u2019 fashioned themes of family values as well . such simple pleasures require a touch of brevity , something perry lacks . \u201cwitness protection\u201d doesn\u2019t need hedge clippers taken to its flabby story , so much as it needs a chainsaw to pair it down .\nso tyler perry\u2019s 4th movie of 2012 , the only madea movie of the year thank goodness , began production today at his atlanta studios .\nthat the film is slightly more streamlined as a comedy does , however , make it easier for perry to work more of his trademark madea gags into the proceedings , and as a result witness protection is the funniest madea film yet . its most memorable set pieces\u2014particularly a run - in with airport security that goes about as expected\u2014necessitate some slightly awkward narrative contortions , but the film moves ahead so briskly that it never quite feels like it\u2019s stumbling . how funny you find these one - liners will depend principally on your interest in perry\u2019s style of humor ( which is to say that if you disliked any of the previous films in the series , witness protection is unlikely to change your mind ) , but it should be clear even to the unamused that perry handles structure and pacing better than most comic filmmakers working\u2014and in a manner that\u2019s entirely his own .\nteam mom : madea always serves as these in both the films and plays .\nyet their romantic pairing makes about as much sense as the rest of madea\u2019s witness protection , which finally brings perry\u2019s madea character wholly into big momma\u2019s house territory with a plot that has her protecting people from the mob . levy plays a corporate executive set up as the fall guy for a ponzi scheme that bilked various charity organizations out of their investment money , while doubling as a money - laundering service for a crime family . the fbi offers levy a chance to avoid jail by cooperating in a case against the mob , but he , richards , and their family\u2014including two children and levy\u2019s dementia - addled mother ( doris roberts ) \u2014need protection until after the trial . for that , the agent calls on his aunt , the loveable bruiser madea , to take in the family and fend off any pesky gangsters . ( another weird thing about the movie : not a single one shows up . )\nstaying mostly on the comedy side of the equation , madea\u2019s witness protection leans on madea\u2019s usual brassy monologues , which fuse no - nonsense belligerence with a grandmotherly wisdom that keeps her flock in line . yet the plotting goes pleasantly far afield at times , for instance by having levy and madea go incognito as , respectively , a beret - wearing frenchman with a burgundy suit and curly mustache , and an extravagantly wealthy member of the jackson family . there aren\u2019t many laughs in this vaudevillian gambit , and fewer still in the fish - out - of - water comedy of madea hosting a rich white family that\u2019s chiefly concerned with yoga , wi - fi , and their carb intakes . still , perry remains a true outsider artist\u2014nobody makes movies like his . ( and please don\u2019t try . )\nsouth boston career criminal bobby batton , facing execution by the mob , is offered a deal by the fbi : immunity from prosecution for several serious crimes in exchange for testimony against his partners , after which he and his family will join the federal witness protection program .\nis this compared to its predecessor . instead of having madea scaring the fraternity students into going to jail for their recklessness , madea goes to a haunted campsite to retrieve her grandchild and her grandchild ' s friend from being killed by a\n\u201c witness protection \u201d is something less than waterproof when it comes to adhering to its own inner logic . although much is made of the need for the needlemans to maintain a low profile \u2014 and to avoid sticking out as white folks in a neighborhood where , as madea warns , \u201cnothin\u2019 ain\u2019t white\u201d \u2014 madea insists on enrolling both cindy and howie in a local school . ( perry wisely refrains from showing the siblings intermingling with classmates . ) late in the story , madea appears to pull off a profitable scam , but there\u2019s no pay - off narrative - wise for this plot twist .\nspotlight stealing title : many of the movies are titled after madea and are advertised as being about madea , despite the fact that she is usually not the main character .\nlighter and softer : madea ' s tough love , an animated parody of madea , is this . it is the first and , so far , the only madea film to receive a pg - rating and has managed to tone down madea ' s actions as compared to other films , such as diary of a mad black woman and madea goes to jail ( the former involving chainsawing a living room because her grandchild was kicked out of her own house by her own husband and the latter involving destroying someone ' s cars with a forklift truck all because the driver stole her parking spot ) . whereas , in madea ' s tough love , madea chases after children that were causing actual problems and just happened to cause damages in the process . she ' s also notably nicer than she is in the other films , even helping an old lady cross the street and try to get a bunch of unruly children to behave .\nin tyler perry ' s madea ' s witness protection , george needleman ( eugene levy ) thought he was successful as cfo of the charity arm of lockwise industries , a wall street investment bank . but then he discovers that his firm is actually a ponzi scheme and mafia money laundering unit . he can either be killed by the mob or make restitution with the help of a well - meaning district attorney ( tyler perry ) . but first , george needs a place to hide while he works with the government to catch the bad guys . and what better place to disappear than at the mighty madea ' s ( perry ) house , where the needleman family ' s big - city ways won ' t make the cut ?\nout with the good ( the oscars ) . . . in with the bad ( the razzies ) - celebrating , or is it shaming the worst of the year 2012 , i give you the razzie nominees announced this morning . of note , as the title of this post states , tyler perry dominates the list , picking up noms in 5 of the 9 categories , including for worst actress for his performance as madea in madea ' s witness protection , worst actor for his performance ( not in drag ) in alex cross and good deeds , worst director , worst screen couple ( himself and madea ) and worst ensemble cast . so he ' s nominated for razzies for the same work he ' s being lauded for by the naacp . . .\nin a scene of mildly cruel hilarity , madea messes with george\u2019s disrespectful daughter by falsely informing her in graphic detail about how her entire family had been murdered by the mob while she was at school , causing the daughter realize how horrible she\u2019s been to her family . it\u2019s a rare scene that deftly wraps up a subplot brilliantly , yet \u201cwitness protection\u201d is otherwise littered with side characters and half - baked plots that only serve to add calories to a light comedy dish . for every amusingly executed scene , there are five redundant ones that can\u2019t seem to make their point and just move on .\naside from that episode of the simpsons where the family has to go into hiding with assumed identities after sideshow bob threatens to kill bart , comedy still hasn\u2019t quite cracked the code on witness protection , despite many tries . ( my blue heaven , written by the late nora ephron , came close , while the larry the cable guy opus witless protection and the hugh grant travesty did you hear about the morgans ? , uh , didn\u2019t . )\nthe supporting cast will comprise of romeo miller ( jumping the broom ) , the son of rapper master p , as jake , a friend of brian ( an attorney who places the family in madea\u2019s care , also played by tyler perry ) who was affected by the scam ; and , revealed today , veterans john amos and marla gibbs will also co - star \u2013 amos as jake\u2019s ( romeo miller\u2019s ) father in the film , and gibbs appears as madea\u2019s neighbor .\nsony ' s inferno experienced an opening weekend meltdown as the third film in the robert langdon series fell $ 10 million shy of expectations . as a result , and thanks to a strong second weekend hold , tyler perry ' s boo ! a madea halloween scored a second weekend atop the box office , dropping just 41 % from its opening weekend . meanwhile , disney and marvel ' s doctor strange stormed the international box office . the latest entry in the marvel cinematic universe opened in approximately half the overseas markets where it brought in an estimated $ 86 million ahead of its domestic release next weekend . with an estimated $ 16 . 67 million boo ! a madea halloween took the # 1 spot at the weekend box office domestically for a second week in a row . the film ' s cume has now grown to $ 52 million as it fell just 41 % in its second weekend , a spectacular performance following the film ' s $ 28 . 5 million opening last weekend . as noted in our weekend preview , tyler perry ' s madea ' s witness protection\ni like pretty much all of tyler perry ' s movies . even when they get too melodramatic , they are still pretty entertaining .\nmadea ' s witness protection\nis his latest in a long line of movies about madea ( perry in drag ) . this time madea takes in a family from new york who are under an fbi investigation while they and receive death threats from the mob . this is a straight up over the top comedy , with zero drama like all of his other movies . while that ' s kind of a breathe of fresh air , the comedy falls flat a lot . the cast is pretty weak . eugene levy is ok , but he is just playing himself , and he ' s married to denise richards . yeh , it don ' t make sense to me either . there ' s a lot of plot holes , and the movie only really works when madea is on screen . even though too much of her ( or him ) , gets to be annoying after a while . this is probably my least favorite of the madea movies , and hopefully if they make more they get better . watch if your a fan , but skip otherwise .\nmadea goes to jail : behind the scenes ft . tyler perry , david mann , & derek luke\nmadea\u2019s witness protection is tyler perry\u2019s 14th feature film and the 17th to star madea , his most popular creation . madea , the linebacker - sized mammy performed by perry in drag , has always been either the sticking or selling point of the seven films in which she\u2019s featured , and even though she usually exists only in the margins of her own movies , she\u2019s the one element nobody forgets . most of the madea movies are framed the same way : a young woman , often a victim of some form of abuse , struggles to find a way out of the lifestyle that binds her , often with the advice , support , or physical backing of madea , who , much like mexico\u2019s cantinflas , functions as both comic relief and moral backbone . ( perry is an exemplary manager of tone , oscillating back and forth between seriousness and slapstick wildly ; that he manages to juggle laughs and feeling without mucking the two is one of his defining qualities as a screenwriter and director , and it\u2019s consistently the most interesting aspect of his work . ) this formula has served perry well , because it allows him to work a fully realized emotional center into films that might have otherwise played out as straight - up comedies\u2014and because the drama becomes just as important as the laughs , it never feels like an afterthought .\nmadea ' s message is clear : be a good citizen , old or young , and the world is a much better place . also , don ' t take any guff .\nit would be a fool\u2019s errand to think tyler perry might have been the one to finally pull it off . but still , madea\u2019s witness protection holds some initial promise , what with eugene levy playing a disingenuous wall street type who becomes the fall guy for his company\u2019s just - exposed ponzi scheme and has to go south with his beautifully dysfunctional family . of course , levy & co . have to live with the grotesque madea ( perry , cross - dressing as usual in the role that\u2019s made him a gazillionaire ) , and one hopes , for a brief instant , that in imagining this culture clash perry might be trying to break out of his comfort zone , maybe even taking on some of the assumptions made about his comedy \u2014 that it appeals mainly to african - american audiences , that its vulgar theatricality is an acquired taste , etc .\ndisproportionate retribution : perry ' s character madea loves to do this to anyone who is rude to her . good examples are in\nbig happy family\nwhen she destroys a window of a restaurant to get her food because of the manager being rude to her . another one is\nmadea goes to jail\nwhen she tows and destroys a woman ' s car because the lady not only took her parking spot , but she was rude to madea as well .\nwhat ' s on your mind ?

( we ' re not even getting into madea ' s witness protection ' s weak script or the wasted potential of the new york banker - in - relocated - down - south setup . )\nwhen i first saw madea in diary of a mad black woman , she had such a crazy , unreal vitality that , for all the broad , unpleasant comedy on display , i couldn\u2019t take my eyes off her . the movie was bad , but you weren\u2019t about to forget this creation . this time around , madea just seems spent . perry\u2019s delivery barely registers above a mutter , and the jokes , which have always been obvious , lack conviction . he\u2019s still a young guy , but all throughout witness protection i imagined perry sitting glumly at a dressing - room mirror , like the aging chaplin in limelight , forlornly rubbing makeup in his face \u2014 a tired , old clown stuck in a tired , old routine . i\u2019ve never cared for the man\u2019s shtick , but i kind of hope he regains his mojo someday .\ngeorge is an honest if dorky accountant who is given terrible news at the office one day . it turns out his company is a ponzi scheme with hard ties to the mafia , and with george ' s name signed on all the books , he is destined to go to jail for a very long time , if not killed by the mafia first to keep him quiet . he ' s willing to participate in a government investigation , but unfortunately , with the mafia on his tail , he and his family must go into the witness protection where no one will find them . one of the lawyers involved knows where they can go : to stay in georgia with madea , a sassy old woman , and her elderly brother , joe . in madea ' s hometown , unbeknownst to anyone , a young pastor ' s son named jake invested all of the local church ' s money into george ' s company , and all of it has been stolen as a result of the ponzi scheme . george and his family are unfamiliar and uncomfortable with black people , so several awkward interactions occur , especially involving george ' s mother , who thinks joe is a black man she slept with many years beforehand . george , while watching ghost one night , is inspired to come up with a plan to give the stolen money back to the victims , including the local church , by having madea go to new york and redistribute some of the account ' s funds . however , with the mafia looking for george , and with the church ' s future at stake , everything counts on madea ' s abilities to hold it together and fool these bankers .\ntyler perry ' s meet the browns - 6 .\nhe was a pimp\nnote : the views expressed here are only those of the reviewer ( s ) .\nsince 2005\u2019s diary of a mad black woman brought tyler perry \u2019s popular stage plays into the feature realm , tyler perry has been turning out movies with takashi miike - esque speed . but the secret is that perry never really changes . when you\u2019ve struck oil , why move the well ?

or on original research by jahsonic and friends . see art and popular culture ' s copyright notice .\nthe draughtsman\u2019s contract is the culmination of many themes that were developed in earlier films . amongst others , landscape features prominently in a walk through h ( 1978 ) , where the surface of a set of greenaway\u2019s paintings are treated not only as abstract maps of an unseen landscape , but simultaneously as the landscape itself .\nhe origin of the plot of the draughtsman ' s contract is autobiographical . i was very keen on drawing . i trained as a painter initially , and spent a lot of my time drawing from life . one of my particular interests was architecture .\nhis work is iconic . he\u2019s controversial . he\u2019s outspoken . he\u2019s ( arguably ) a visionary . artist - filmmaker ,\nwhile the draughtsman\u2019s contract was peter greenaway\u2019s first truly narrative feature , a follow - up to his mockumentary catalog film the falls , the filmmaker himself refers to the film in its dvd liner notes as \u201canother catalogue movie . \u201d his assessment of his own work is , of course , correct but in a way that may not be immediately evident to the viewer . the draughtsman\u2019s contract abandons the formal conventions of the documentary format of the falls for a different type of formalism , that of the english period drama . the rigid structure of society depicted in the film and perhaps the even more fixed structure of art depicting that society are greenaway\u2019s setting for a ribald and humorous tale of sex , murder , and art .\nneville discovers that there is something more going on in the herbert estate than he can depict visually and , indeed , there is something more going on in the draughtsman\u2019s contract than there initially appears . if the draughtsman\u2019s contract is , like the falls , a catalogue film , it is one of a different type . greenaway is expanding upon his short film the falls as an exploration of the english countryside . neville revisits the same areas for varying lengths of time in a manner similar to greenaway\u2019s in the short . what the artist finds is what the viewer finds in both works , that time and context change the perception of an image . one views herbert\u2019s estate in vastly different terms as the film progresses despite the fact the images themselves do not change . neville\u2019s contract stipulates that the subjects of his paintings must not be changed yet he sees this turned around on him in much the same way as the balance of power in his relationship with mrs . herbert .\nandrew , geoff ,\ncontract chiller ,\nin time out ( london ) , 18 may 1994 .\nthe result , the draughtsman ' s contract , is not as different to greenaway ' s previous work , however , as one might at first think . the draughtsman effectively acts as a traditional narrator when he outlines his drawing intentions ( alluding to a form of fictional ' making - of ' documentary ) , as do the party gossips at the very beginning of the film ; they do not talk to each other , they simply talk . as in his previous films , greenaway uses his creative works in other mediums to add to the overall text of the film , in this case the drawings as seemingly undertaken by the draughtsman .\nthe draughtstman ' s contract is the first film i saw of peter greenaway ' ' s on channel four television when channel four were an alternative film channel . the film is peter greenaway at his most inventive . the look , pace and feel beautifully out of step with the faultering british film industry of the early 80 ' s which is why it still stands up today . the period setting , the clever , knowing wink of irony and the wonderfully judged performances heralded the beginning of an original talent using film as art and producing art on film . greenaway may not have been to everyone ' s taste as the decade wore on but the draughtsman ' s contract remains his timeless classic . mark kilmurry\nwhile like many people i was startled and initially impressed by peter greenaway\u2019s the draughtsman contract , the more i\u2019ve thought about it , the more i dislike its spirit ; nonetheless , i\u2019ve decided to write about it because it\u2019s an intelligent costume drama ( one of my special interests ) , and one set in the early part of the \u201clong 18th century\u201d ( another ) .\n' ' the draughtsman ' s contract ' ' may well be cinema ' s first restoration comedy - mystery . it ' s a none - too - solemn , enigmatic tale of murder set in a great english country house in 1694 , when morals among the newly rich were as loose as absolutely possible and manners were mad mannerisms of dress , speech and behavior .\nfinally , i suppose the draughtsman\u2019s contract is absurd ( its description in various online websites ) , but only obviously so in comparison to so many movies . a couple of minutes\u2019 thought show so many movies are absurd ( and even silly ) , sheer dream visions .\npeter greenaway ' s dark comedy about power games between the classes is one of his easiest films to enjoy on a surface level . those unfamiliar with greenaway ' s work should be warned , however , that although the draughtsman s contract looks like a period mystery , it really isn ' t : if you spend too much time worrying about who done it , you ' ll miss the movie ' s . . . read more\narsenal gallery is located in the city centre of bia\u0142ystok ( poland ) , in a historic building of the branicki palace . between 1691 and 1697 the branicki palace was reconstructed into a baroque mansion by tylman gamerski . theoretically\nthe draughtsman\u2019s contract\nby greenaway could happen exactly here . in relation to the famous work of the british director and the context of the place , the arsenal galllery will sign a contract , not necessarily with draughtsman ( we are also interested in other possible techniques and media ) , to create an artwork / art project , where the branicki palace will be the main object of interest , that is the seat of the arsenal gallery .\nset in the 17th century , the draughtsman\u2019s contact focuses on the contract between mr neville ( anthony higgins ) and mrs herbert ( janet suzman ) to paint a picture of her husband\u2019s estate . as part of neville\u2019s preparation for his masterpiece , he dresses the house with sculptures and then instructs the household not to move any objects . but when the statues in the house suddenly start to move about and even shift shape , the very particular mr neville becomes increasingly upset .\n' ' the draughtsman ' s contract ' ' was shown as part of the 20th new york film festival at alice tully hall . following are excerpts from a review by vincent canby that appeared in the new york times on oct . 2 , 1982 . the film opens today at the cinema 2 , third avenue and 60th street .\nafter starting out with several experimental short films and the three - hour avantgarde film\nthe fall\n( 1980 ) , peter greenaway achieved his breakthrough with\nthe draughtsman ' s contract\n( 1982 ) . the movie that became an immediate box office hit established greenaway as an unconventional director who was courageous enough to distance himself from the mainstream .\nin the draughtsman\u2019s contract , we are given both \u2013 the landscape and its representation \u2013 but in circumstances that make the distinction between the two ambiguous . while the plot constantly reminds us of what is left in and what is left out of the drawings , the self - reflexive style of the film ( marxist new wave meets historical drama \u2013 the most aristocratic genre of them all ) constantly reminds the viewer of the similar processes at work in the film itself .\ngreenaway\u2019s first feature - length film \u2018the falls\u2019 ( 1980 ) established his interest in exploring new directions for cinema and introduced some of the themes that recur in his later work . \u2018the draughtsman\u2019s contract\u2019 may be greenaway\u2019s first attempt to work within the more conventional idiom of narrative cinema but it retains a refreshing air of experimentation and is much easier to watch than his uncompromising debut . greenaway explores themes of sex , power , language , art and his fascination with ciphers , puzzles and games . the text of the contract is designed to deceive but the draughtsman\u2019s images reveal the truth even though we lack the visual literacy required to read all the clues ; when the artist fails to grasp the full implications of everything he depicts the consequences can be deadly . greenaway develops this concept in his later work , particularly in \u2018nightwatching\u2019 ( 2012 ) , his study of rembrandt .\nnarratively , neville\u2019s curiosity proves to be his undoing . on another level , it is his attempt to capture natural , living beauty that leads to his downfall ; a slight allusion to his next film , a zed & two naughts . a puzzle in both plot and structure , the draughtsman\u2019s contract is an enticing and glorious beginning to greenaway\u2019s narrative films . though he shows contempt for the formalism of the period drama , he shows himself to be a master of it as well . here we see the beginnings of greenaway\u2019s attempts to meld narrative cinema and visual art , a defining characteristic of his work . the draughtsman\u2019s contract is both intriguing and beautiful and represents another step in the journey from shorts like h is for house to films like the cook , the thief , his wife & her lover and his more recent rembrandt films .\nat first there is a move to blame the draughtsman , but he manages to deny this . no one is in fact punished for this : ) , and the draughtsman comes back to resume his relationship with mrs herbert . who owns the pictures is a question ; they seem to be owned by mr . talmann ( hugh fraser ) the son - in - law , angry at his wife\u2019s adultery ( and possible pregnancy ) by said draughtsman .\npeter greenaway , the film ' s writer - director , hailed from a background in documentaries and experimental shorts . his cunning coup here was to apply a surreal sensibility to a thoroughly conventional genre format , the country - house murder mystery . yet , at the end , the draughtsman ' s contract remains a puzzle wrapped in an enigma , and no clever detective pops up to explain it all .\ngreenaway\u2019s interest in these themes began in the 1970\u2019s , with a fascination with landscapes and land art , as well as seventeenth century french landscape architecture ( which greenaway saw as \u201cnature rearranged to make a stage\u2026 a form of unconscious pre - land art land art . \u201d ( 3 ) in the draughtsman\u2019s contract we see a garden that has been grown as if it was drawn , and then documented in a drawing .\nwatch the draughtsman ' s contract once as a classy intellectual thriller , and again to savour fully the sensuous imagery , the outrageous wigs and costumes , michael nyman ' s intricate neo - baroque score , the witty screenplay , erotic sparring and splendid performances of janet suzman , anthony higgins and others .

the focus on framing of the drawings and of the film itself , on conversations that are as stylised as the images of architecture and formal gardens . in effect , the film uses all of these strategies to invite the spectator to consider different ways of visualising history , contemplating language , storytelling , and , above all , cinema .\nthe magician prospero attempts to stop his daughter ' s affair with an enemy .\nan index of the chicago reader ' s long reviews from 1971 to now .\nthe whole history of my life part 4 : u . s . go home\nmr . neville , a cocksure young artist is contracted by mrs . herbert , the wife of a wealthy landowner , to produce a set of twelve drawings of her husband ' s estate , a contract which extends . . .\nin an apparently idyllic 17th century wiltshire , an ambitious draughtsman is commissioned by the wife of an aristocrat to produce twelve drawings of her husband ' s estate and negotiates terms to include sexual favours from his employer . but when a corpse is dragged from the moat , the draughtsman ' s drawings may reveal more than he realised . extravagant costumes , a twisting plot , elegantly barbed dialogue and a mesmerising score by michael nyman make the film a treat for ear , eye and mind .\nat the start of ' ' the draughtsman ' s contract , ' ' mrs . herbert ( janet suzman ) and her daughter mrs . talmann ( anne louise lambert ) are pleading with mr . neville to stay with them at their country house to do a series of drawings to present as a surprise to mr . herbert , who will be away on business in southampton during that time .\nwhat comes through clearly by the end of the film is the act of one artist\u2019s eccentric generosity breathing new awareness into the life of another .\nnevertheless , this is the part of the film i liked least and it\u2019s what it is most famous for \u2014 the sexual contract . i feel that whatever the social critique presented , the scenes revel in pain inflicted on the women as the cook , the thief , his wife and her lover . this aspect of the film puts me in mind of nabokov\u2019s lolita where an ironic narrator ( villain protagonist ) provides cover for nabokov to let go his own fantasies . that it\u2019s respected anyway shows the domination of male film critics and present male hegemony .\nthe year is 1694 , and a smug draughtsman has been commissioned to draw the estate from 12 different angles at different times of the day . his fee : a modest stipend and 12 sexual favours from mrs herbert , the lady of the manor .\nthe purpose of the composer ' s cut series is to present music from my soundtracks in a state of continuous evolution . as i transferred particular cues from film to concert hall both musical structures changed and performance styles developed , enabling the music , perhaps , to realise its true potential . so these recordings represent the michael nyman band ' s state -

due to all he has seen , the social climbing draughtsman , mr . neville , must be disposed of , beginning with his eyes .\npeter greenaway\u2019s films tend to polarise viewers . his work can be viewed as either coldly pretentious or startlingly original . some will feel that this director is far too clever for his own good . cinema fans who like a clear plot and \u2018straight story\u2019 will find \u2018draughtsman\u2019s contract\u2019 utterly infuriating . there may be a hidden meaning in the \u2018disposition of linen\u2019 or greenaway may simply be having a joke at the audience\u2019s expense . the film is like an intricately carved puzzle . it can be admired as a thing of beauty in its own right , even if you are unsure how all the pieces fit together .\npeter greenaway announced his arrival with this elusive and elegant puzzle of a costume drama . art references and connoisseurship flit through a plot in which a cocksure draughtsman ( anthony higgins ) is hired by an aristocratic lady ( janet suzman ) to do 12 drawings of her house , the payment to include hospitality and access to her bed . but the contract enfolds a con trick designed to preserve class and inheritance , playing the draughtsman \u2014 and the audience \u2014 for a dupe . driven by michael nyman\u2019s parping baroque score it displays a ravishing eye for colour and composition , and an appetite for cruelty that is colder than death .\npublished on this site , organized by the director ' s last name . the links below jump to particular points in the index .\nthe draughtsman of the title is a certain mr . neville ( anthony higgins ) , an ambitious , handsome young man who makes his living by traveling from one country house to the next , executing bloodless drawings of the property in return for modest fees and the hospitality of the house .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nas this year\u2019s berlin film festival draws to a close , we bring you the weirdest and most wonderful moments from the red carpet , the most exquisite outfits , the hottest parties and the movies everyone\u2019s talking about . ( 20 . 02 . 2017 )\n\u00b7 this is an edited extract from the director ' s commentary on the dvd , to be released by the bfi later this year .\nmr . neville , a cocksure young artist is contracted by mrs . herbert , the wife of a wealthy landowner , to produce a set of twelve drawings of her husband ' s estate , a contract which extends much further than either the purse or the sketchpad . the sketches themselves prove of an even greater significance than supposed upon the discovery of the body of mr . herbert .\nmr neville ( anthony higgins ) , a young and arrogant artist , is contracted to produce a series of 12 landscape drawings of an estate by mrs virginia herbert ( janet suzman ) for her absent and estranged husband . part of the contract is that mrs herbert agrees\nto meet mr neville in private and to comply with his requests concerning his pleasure with me .\nseveral sexual encounters between them follow . later he makes a similar contract with mrs herbert ' s married , yet childless , daughter . in the second contract , however , he agrees to comply with her pleasure . a number of curious objects appear in neville ' s drawings , which point ultimately to the murder of mr herbert , whose body is discovered in the moat of the house . the drawings appear to implicate neville .\nthat\u2019s it for tonight . i\u2019ve been kicking my employment law essay around all day . so far i\u2019ve done the reading but must admit it was probably a mistake to stick \u201ca draughtsman\u2019s contract\u201d in the dvd player as \u201cbackground\u201d . it is not a background film . it is never a mistake to watch the film ; in fact , if you are not currently in possession of this peter greenaway film , go and order it now . it\u2019s more like a restoration play than a film . not a wine & chocolate affair but it is bloody marvellous . anyway , i digress ; which has been the problem with the essay . it\u2019s not 7 . 30pm and i reckon i\u2019ll be satisfied if i get the introduction done tonight . as the lady says , \u201ctomorrow is another day ! \u201d\nat the end of the film , it becomes apparent , rather like murder on the orient express , that the entire family was responsible for the death of mr herbert , the unpleasant and antagonistic owner of the house . the plan was that the women of the family could partake of the married woman ' s property act . so there ' s only one more thing to do , and that ' s to finally not only get rid of the drawings , but also to get rid of the architect himself . and now we have , or are about to have , a copycat murder . so this draughtsman is killed and disposed of and his drawings burnt in order to tidy up the whole story and destroy the final evidence .\nmr . neville , a cocksure young artist , is contracted by mrs . herbert , the wife of a wealthy landowner , to produce a set of twelve drawings of her husband ' s estate , a contract which extends much further than either the purse or the sketchpad . the sketches themselves prove of an even greater significance than supposed upon the discovery of the body of mr . herbert .\ngreenaway is apparently sympathetic to women in this film . mrs herbert who hires the draughtsman to draw her husband\u2019s house and gardens ( not hers , note , his ) looks ill and shattered after the encounters . she is bullied by her husband who is away having affairs . her , mrs talmann\u2019s daughter\u2019s failed arranged marriage is also brought out and sympathized with : she too goes to bed with the draughtsman ( who gets about ) as she\u2019s not only frustrated because her husband is impotent and the point of her marriage was to produce an heir for the estate . her husband does not bully and control her but not for lack of trying . a sexy teasing tantalizing stylized dramatizing of these relationships is presented within an outline of criticism of the male hegemonic order .\nartificial in the extreme , it may nevertheless be greenaway ' s most naturalistic and easygoing film .\nthe wife of an abusive criminal finds solace in the arms of a kind regular guest in her husband ' s restaurant .\nthe movie was originally inspired by peter greenaway ' s attempts to draw a house he ' d rented for a vacation and finding that the sun rising / falling changed the shadows and appearance too rapidly for a drawing to be completed in one sitting . he thus spent a specific period each day drawing the house from a specific angle ( like the draughtsman in the movie ) . see more \u00bb\nin a way the draughtsman ' s contract was vertical features remake with actors . and with its excessive straight - jacketing of the english landscape , it was another catalogue movie , but this time with actors walking the world , but actors deliberately behaving like statutes or mannequins , marshalled into a strict regime of times and places . the time is 1694 , the subject is a conspiracy of murder , more patricia highsmith then agatha christie , the characters are effete provincial aristocrats , the ambience bitter and sweet . sexual exploitation is paramount . a draughtsman demands sexual favours in return for practising his art on a country - house ; a contract for twelve imaginative couplings with the mistress of the house for twelve prosaic drawings , both to be taken at his predatory pleasure and with an eye to his rigid timing . we believe the draughtsman is in control and we watch his progress of gross sexual exploitation with some respect , for he is an unapologetic immoralist , he is handsome , well turned out , a disadvantaged outsider trying to get inside , and an artist of some talent if not a huge imagination . but the movie takes a reverse turn half way through and the predator becomes the victim , quite how and why , if not already guessed in a plot of women holding onto hereditary in a household of virtual eunuchs , is quickened in the last minutes with the freely commissioned thirteenth drawing and the thirteenth copulation . the artist is not employed afterall to draw but to sire . his prowess as a stud is more understood and valued that his prowess as draughtsman .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\nto match the film ' s 17th century setting , each of the pieces composed for the film took an element of a piece \u2013 some quite fragmentary \u2013 from english composer henry purcell as an inspiration or starting point . while this allowed the music to match the period portrayed , nyman ' s use of elements in the michael nyman band such as saxophones and electric bass , instruments that hadn ' t existed in purcell ' s time , along with his own compositional style gave the music a late 20th century modernity that resonated with the audience . the soundtrack became nyman ' s first international success in the area of film music and some of the pieces composed for this film remain hugely popular with concert audiences to the present day . as the composer notes in his introduction to the album , the music has altered and expanded in 23 years ' of concerts . most of the musicians in the michael nyman band are long - term members and their knowledge of every element of the music and confidence with the material is reflected in the quality of these performances recorded at abbey road studios in april 2005 . the music for the draughtsman ' s contract is familiar to a vast audience who ' ve almost certainly never even seen the film as it has been extensively used in advertising and is among the most frequently played contemporary music on classical radio stations around the world .\ni ' ve no work on hand at the moment , and the leaves are falling fast , but i have had some interesting talks with peter greenaway , a brilliant youngish film director , who made the draughtsman ' s contract . he now has some most exciting ideas about a possible fantasy version of the tempest which , of course , i ' ve always longed to do - especially if it is not a theatre version of the whole play which would , i think , be rather a bore . greatly hope something may come of it for next year .\nmr . neville , a cocksure young artist , is contracted by mrs . herbert , the wife of a wealthy landowner , to produce a set of twelve drawings of her husband ' s estate , a contract which extends much further than either the purse or the sketchpad . the sketches themselves prove of an even greater significance than supposed upon the discovery of the body of mr . herbert . written by paul kevin harm\nit shows the director at his best and most playful , and it ' s a strange delight .\nso these 12 days of painful draughtsmanship all go up in smoke . maybe for an artist it ' s more damaging not simply to be killed but to actually have one ' s works destroyed . i was the draughtsman of those drawings and i had absolutely no intention of destroying them . what you see burnt on celluloid are just extremely good photocopies .\nthe draughtsman uses an optical device constructed as a frame . recent publications by david hockney have suggested that artists after and during the renaissance resorted to all sorts of optical equipment in order to improve the artificiality of their medium . the notion of the frame as a filmic device , and also as a drawing device , is related very significantly to the notion of a frame - up . though we imagine the draughtsman rules the roost and governs the action , he ' s in fact slowly , scene by scene , being framed . so the notion of the subject matter of the film - to frame somebody , that is , to put them up as a victim of a conspiracy of some description - is also relative to the way the film itself is very self - consciously framed . the form and the content should ideally be brought closely together .\nto conclude , the essay in fires were started is by michael walsh and called \u201callegories of thatcherism : the films of peter greenaway\u201d walsh confronts and admits to the sadism of greenaway\u2019s films . his method\u2019s psychoanalytical & he did not persuade me there\u2019s any anti - thatcherism in this film \u2014 unless the mockery and send up of the commodified lush shows of costume drama can be read this way . but that\u2019s not particular enough . i find my own blog review of miles forman\u2019s valmont as anti - thatcherite a lot more convincing .\nthe final version provides fewer explanations to the plot ' s numerous oddities and mysteries . the main murder mystery is never solved , though little doubt remains as to who did it . the reasons why there is a living statue in the garden or why mr neville attaches so many conditions to his contract were also more developed in the first version . it could be said that , rather than make the film more confusing , it adds to the sense of mystery and wonder it provides .\nthe album was the fourth album release by michael nyman and the third to feature the michael nyman band .\nthe cook the thief the wife & her lover /\nthe anatomy lesson of dr . nicolaes tulp\nthe film centers on mr . neville , an artist . as the son of a commoner , neville is an outsider in the world of the aristocrats for whom he works . the film reiterates this visually ; neville dresses primarily in all black and wears a dark colored wig , a sharp contrast to the affected garb of the other characters . his outsider status also positions him as an avatar for the audience as he moves in what is essentially an alien world . but neville\u2019s position as the audience\u2019s stand in is a precarious one . greenaway purposefully makes him a difficult person to empathize with ; he is arrogant , stubborn and malicious . though neville is quick to recognize these characteristics in his benefactors , he seems blind to the same within himself and his inability to \u201csee\u201d himself reiterates the blindness he has to the true nature of the events transpiring around him . neville uses his art to capture this world visually but as the film progresses his understanding of the true world beneath the veneer grows . the draughtsman\u2019s contract explores this with him , pulling back the curtain on a society obsessed with outward appearances .\nruskin ' s venice , the stones revisited , by sarah quill , is published by ashgate at \u00a330 .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nanything by henry purcell ( 1659 -

media art installations . . .\na brilliantly intricate all - encompassing analytical essay that stands among your very best . but i know greenaway is one of your favorites , as he is one of mine as well . the draughtsman ' s contract is a maddening elliptical mystery , one where plot is used for the purpose of the director ' s compositions , and the film is a fascinating hybrid of social commentary and the aforementioned avante garde , filmed as i recall in 16mm . my favorite greenaway of them all happens to be the one that achieved the most popular success - the cook , the thief his wife and her lover , as that film showed the director at his most entertaining and didn ' t compromise on the physical beauty and had a buffo michael nyman score to boot . but i love a number of others , especially prospero ' s books , the pillow book and nightwatching . your discussion of the use of language in the film is fascinating . and yes , greenaway is a list obsessive , bless his heart . ha !\nparadoxically yet characteristically , these heavy - duty art references are accompanied by dialogue that is relatively meandering and formless whenever it steps away from the film ' s structural design . ( albert ' s minor explosion of grief over his and georgina ' s childlessness , for instance , registers as an awkward attempt to cover up the absence of psychology elsewhere . ) greenaway ' s obsessive reliance on structural systems - - perspective ( the draughtsman ' s contract ) , the alphabet ( a zed & two noughts ) , numbers ( drowning by numbers ) , and color - coding here - - never functions as a means of exploration or discovery in the way that ( for instance ) the systems in michael snow ' s experimental\nstructural films\nlike wavelength , back and forth , and la region centrale do ; they suggest the somewhat desperate tactics of a control freak who doesn ' t really believe in or feel comfortable with narrative , but has to use it anyway to get his pictures financed and shown . they become , in effect , recipes for filming by numbers .\nan extravagant , exotic and moving look at rembrandt ' s romantic and professional life , and the controversy he created by the identification of a murderer in the painting ' the night watch ' .\nthe sheffield civic trust ( sct ) aims to help shape the future of the city by encouraging wider public awareness of sheffield\u2019s buildings , heritage , places and spaces .\nthe draughtsman demands perfection . there must be no change , from day to day , in the view he paints . he aims for complete realism . but little changes do creep in . a window is left open . a ladder is found standing against a wall . there are things on the lawn that should not be on the lawn . the lady ' s daughter calls on the artist and suggests that a plot may be under way and that her father , the lord of the manor , may have been murdered . furthermore , the artist may be about to be framed for the crime . as a payment for her friendship , the daughter demands the same payment in\nintimate hospitality\nas her mother . now the artist is not only draughtsman but lover to mother and daughter and the possible object of a plot to frame him with murder .\ngreenaway ' s films , in which a formal concern with structures rubs shoulders with something decidedly more romantic and even absurdist , have been described as revolving around the contradiction between\nthe encyclopaedic minutiae of a constructed world - in - microcosm and the aleatory perception of a contingent nature ,\nand the draughtsman ' s contract is no exception to this schema . in particular , the way in which the businesslike , dispassionate mr . neville is constantly intruded upon by human passions and their visible traces on the landscape testifies to the impossibility of purely abstract systems of any kind\u2014systems of representation included . indeed , even the landscape in which compton anstey is set , and which forms the background to the drawings , is far from being simply natural or neutral . as both nikolaus pevsner and w . g . hoskins have repeatedly pointed out , the english landscape in particular always carries the traces of human activity upon it , and can thus be read as a kind of social and political map , as well as a simply geographical one . neville ' s mistake is to fail to\nread\nthe landscape in which he finds himself : narrowly limiting himself to what he can see in his viewing frame , to formal composition and to the formal terms of his contract , he fails to understand the relations of patronage and inheritance that are inscribed upon the landscape , or to see the signs of passion and intrigue which keep breaking through onto the otherwise orderly surface . this notion of landscape as something to be\nread\nbecomes abundantly clear after mr . herbert ' s death , when the various members of the household scrutinise neville ' s drawings for clues to the identity of the murderer ."]}

1 and battlestar galactica . since much of the series is set at corbulo academy , an actual , existing location was used to give the school a concrete identity . although many other locations around the world were initially considered to represent the academy , the sfu was chosen because of its rugged , decidedly futuristic architecture . [ 12 ] for the filming , the campus was decorated with additional embellishments , including various unsc propaganda murals and a statue of the academy ' s namesake , the roman general gnaeus domitius corbulo .

the facilities handling the requirements of modern distribution . they serve different purposes depending on the combination of fabrication , storage and distribution functions they perform within their supply chains . modern distribution centers tend to consume more space , both from the site they occupy and the building area . from a locational standpoint , distribution centers mainly rely on trucking , implying a preference for suburban locations with good road accessibility . they try to service regional markets with a 48 hours service window ( lead time ) on average , implying that replenishment orders from their customers are met within that time period . they have become one floor facilities designed more for throughput than for warehousing with specialized loading and unloading bays and sorting equipment .\nmajoring in english and creative writing , and being an avid reader all her life , boling always enjoyed writing but didn\u2019t immediately connect with it .\neric kohn and anne thompson discuss their favorite films of the year so far . they also debate several new releases and share some streaming recommendations .\nafter the first week of filming at the sfu campus , the second week was spent shooting the forest scenes , namely the cadets ' training exercises and the final battle sequence , including the warthog chase . the forest location was a woodland in a drainage basin north of vancouver . despite some logistical problems , the site attracted the attention of the crew because of its unique , almost otherworldly atmosphere . most of the interior scenes at the academy were filmed on set during the last three weeks of filming . while the sfu campus is recognizable as a real - world location , the sets were designed with an emphasis on giving the series a unique signature aesthetic . the largest of the three major sets was a single 25 - meter long hallway , which was used to represent many different hallways in the series , primarily the main corridor at the corbulo academy dorms . as part of the hallway set , a single dorm room was also created and was similarly used to depict several different rooms . the third major set was the cadets ' locker room and cryo training facility .

sometimes male , sometimes female . as he was a man of many disguises , and so many characters came out through the photos that are left behind , i thought you can ' t have just one person playing nijinsky .\nnijinsky portrays the dancer through the use of visual imagery seen from his point of view , reflecting salient moments of his life through the characters he was dancing at the time - petrouchka , the faun , the blue god , the golden slave , and others . as the voice of nijinsky , sir derek jacobi reads from the diaries .\nin december 1917 , vaslav nijinsky with his wife romola and three year old daughter kyra , retreated to a villa in st moritz to await the end of the war . his relationship with diaghilev ' s ballets russes had been severed and with war raging throughout europe , it was impossible for nijinsky to find other engagements . by the armistice in movember 1918 , nijinsky , the most celebrated male dancer of the western world , had suffered a severe mental breakdown . in notebooks he recorded his intense inner turmoil .\na collection of queer characters , representations , and sensibilities on film . from queer masterpieces to camp classics , documentaries to romantic comedies , \u2026\nthe film topped the british box - office for two weeks , but was not a hit in america\naccording to website wikipedia .\npublicity for this picture declared that the film was the movie acting debut of rudolf nureyev but nureyev had previously appeared in such feature films as don quixote ( 1973 ) , schwanensee ( 1966 ) , nijinsky : unfinished project ( 1970 ) , _ romeo and juliet _ , the latter being his motion picture debut .\nsays paul cox :\nnijinsky has really humbled me , because i agree with the sentiments he is expressing , about god , love , living , ageing and dying .\nrussian dancer turned actor rudolf nureyev underwent extensive dialect and dialogue coaching to portray italian silent film legendary actor rudolph valentino in this biopic about him .\ni made this film in the editing room ,\ncox said . out of his heart , not his head , i believe . it took him many months . although he is a director capable of making films that communicate with anyone ( such as his wonderful\ninnocence\nfrom 2000 ) , this film will baffle those moviegoers who expect to have everything laid out for them like a buffet supper . if you have never heard of nijinsky , this film is not going to function like a lecture . it is sensuous , not informational . those who have seen what we once called underground films will respond , as will those familiar with experimental films going back to the silent era . the structure of the film is musical , not dramatic , and attempts a sweep through nijinsky ' s psyche during a period in 1919 when he danced for the last time and then was institutionalized . his diaries commenced at just this time .\nborn in kiev , russia in 1888 , nijinsky entered the imperial school in st petersburg in 1898 , and upon graduation in 1907 became a soloist with the maryinsky theatre . moving in the aristocratic circles of st petersburg , he met sergei diaghilev . under his influence and dictation nijinsky became his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 , and ultimately one of the most respected dancers of all time .\nhighly theatrical and rarely revived film about vaslav nijinsky ( george de la pena ) considered to be the greatest male ballet dancer of the early twentieth century and a member of the imperial ballet . he grew up in imperial russia but considered himself to be a polish peasant . he later joined the ballets russes which was started by sergei diaghilev ( alan bates ) , an impresario who took the ballet to paris and presenting often outrageous theatrical events never before seen . nijinsky not only became the star performer but also the muse and lover of diaghilev . with ross as director and his wife norma kaye as producer the film is a feast of dance - the couple were\u2026\nthis was herbert ross ' second film to focus on the world of ballet , following the turning point in 1977 where he had worked with mikhail baryshnikov and other members of the american ballet theatre . baryshnikov turned down the role of vaslav nijinsky and returned to the american ballet theatre and was promoted to the role of artistic director .\nmusic is a very important element in every cox film , as he believes music to be at the basis of all creativity . quite often , he has the music in place at the start of a film . in this case , there was a lot of existing music from composers including debussy , weber and stravinsky , which was an integral part of nijinsky ' s performances . long time cox - collaborator paul grabowsky has woven these famous pieces together with his own original compositions .\nyet in his legendary performances in ballets like ' ' le spectre de la rose , ' ' ' ' sch\u00e9h\u00e9razade , ' ' ' ' l ' apr\u00e8s - midi d ' un faune ' ' and ' ' jeux , ' ' nijinsky commanded a stage presence that was deemed godlike . photographs and portraits of nijinsky in costume reveal a haughty , smoldering valentinoesque charisma .\nnijinsky was an ardent vegetarian , and the movie has scenes of animal slaughter that suggest both his loathing of the process and the movie ' s notion of the dancer as a kind of sacrificial lamb on the altar of art . as nijinsky ' s writing loses coherence and ecstasy gives way to doubt and terror , you can feel him rapidly shutting out the world .\nreportedly , the film ' s director ken russell walked out of a revival screening of this movie saying :\nwhat idiot made this ?\n.\nactor rudolf nureyev portrayed a character , silent film legend rudolph valentino , who had a similarly spelled and phonetically same sounding first name as his own .\nbaryshnikov first encountered the story of nijinsky when he was studying at st petersburg\u2019s vaganova school , in what was then leningrad . it was where nijinsky ( and nureyev ) trained , and his costume for le spectre de la rose , covered in faded petals , was on display in a glass case . \u201cyet at the same time in the 1960s and 70s , the legend of nijinsky and of the ballets russes was kept quiet because it was politically tainted . diaghilev took all the best dancers and they never came back \u2013 and he opened up ideas . \u201d\nissues of gay or straight , as we think of them today , don ' t come into play . nijinsky disparages his mentor ' s pederasty while castigating himself for frequenting female prostitutes .\nintended for dance students , teachers , scholars and researchers , this book presents nijinsky ' s ballet ,\nl ' apres - midi d ' un faune\n, as he himself recorded it in 1915 . it provides the historical background , the chronology of its performances and nijinsky ' s production notes and analysis of the choreographic style of the ballet . the book includes a comprehensive explanation of nijinsky ' s notation system , with examples from his score . the text is supplemented by photographs of the 1912 production , and the music placed adjacent to the dance phrases .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nafter the film had debuted the picture ' s director ken russell later said that his choice to make the movie was the biggest mistake of his career .\nmotion picture | feature film ( over 60 minutes ) . inc : dennis budimir , guitar .

released film i have seen , and will most likely make it on my worst of the year list . read the whole review at urltoken\nthere are certainly other ways the film squandered its source material , but the point is very clear : it feels like the people behind the dark tower film did not have any interest in retelling king\u2019s story . the film only uses small facets of the world to tell a different , much briefer story , when the real strength of the dark tower is that it\u2019s an epic . whether you\u2019re a fan of the books or not , this truncated version can\u2019t help but disappoint .\nthe project he\u2019ll be tackling ? the previously announced adaptation of paul l mariani \u2018s \u201c the broken tower , \u201d a biography of american poet hart crane , who gained popularity with his brooklyn bridge - inspired \u201c the bridge . \u201d his last poem was the eponymous \u2018broken tower , \u2019 inspired by crane\u2019s only heterosexual affair ( with peggy crowley ) that has now been widely interpreted as his death ode . crane controversially ended his life by jumping off the steamship ss orizaba while yelling \u201cgoodbye , everyone ! \u201d at the age of 32 .\nthe dark tower shows some meager promise , but as the first in a proposed series it leaves much to be desired .\nthis is the first and only film not to feature the title in clouds .\njody martin said he got to the scene just as the first fire engine was arriving at grenfell tower , in latimer road .\n[ the dark tower ] resembles nothing so much as a mashup of the lord of the rings and the matrix reimagined for the young adult crowd .\nuse the rose key and fleur -

goers as a new arrow in the quiver of apologetics , i doubt many serious biblical scholars will agree with its conclusions . indeed , those conclusions are widely connected to a historical theory which has been carefully negated in scholarship ( even among otherwise orthodox biblical scholars ) . because of this , i fear that the film\u2019s popularity with churches will wind up leaving the church ridiculed for trying to fire another broken arrow at the \u201cwhite tower establishment\u201d .\nmarcio and andreia gomes , parents of logan gomes , arrive for a commemoration hearing at the opening of the inquiry into the grenfell tower disaster , in london .\nwhich makes \u201cthe broken tower\u201d by no means an easy sit . the abstract structure is challenging and fascinating in equal measure . i\u2019m guessing you didn\u2019t make this with the intention of getting it seen by a wide audience ; it\u2019s a thesis project . were you wary of releasing this , in fear of polorazing your loyal fan base ?\nthe dark tower movie ends in a very perfunctory manner . again , jake and roland have destroyed dever -

house style : low on production - excellence , and high on experimentation . regardless of the outcome , franco has delivered a curious passion project worth experiencing at least once - if only to see for yourself what happens when an inspired performance becomes undersold by weak filmmaking . james franco might be an awesome workaholic and all around cool guy ( which i ' m positive he is ) , but he could use some fine tuning as a director and screenwriter - and hopefully soon . considering how many films he has now completed broken tower comes across as a decidedly uneven outing that never manages to grasp hart crane as if in full bloom .\n\u201clisten , people , my band and i are all crying backstage . we\u2019re too broken up to go on . but i just want to tell you , thank you and good night . \u201d\n[ idris ] elba alone can ' t make the dark tower worth watching . but he can make the case , yet again , that he deserves better material than this .\nin the first film , the entrance to gryffindor tower is on one end of a hallway . whereas in the film adaptation of harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban and the video game adaptations of harry potter and the order of the phoenix and harry potter and the half - blood prince , it is located on the seventh floor of the grand staircase tower . as the shape of the common room doesn ' t change , one explanation of this change of location may be that these particular stairs were not there in the first movie , and were built to replace the corridor during the summer of 1992 , before harry ' s third year started .\nhart crane sure liked to walk around . if there\u2019s an image you\u2019re going to take away from the broken tower , james franco\u2019s take on the modernist poet , it\u2019s crane ( franco ) stalking about new york , or paris , or cuba , or mexico , searching for\u2026something . artistic inspiration ? psychic respite ? a lay from one of the sailors with whom he found fleeting erotic connection ? the camera bobs behind him patiently , recording every step while refusing to speculate on the would - be destination of crane\u2019s multiple , solitary sojourns . franco deserves credit for attempting to understand crane\u2019s interior life by focusing on such interstitial moments . too often , though , the broken tower simply leaves us locked out of crane\u2019s subjective landscape , mistaking furrowed - brow earnestness for insight .\nthe broken tower is the latest project from james franco ( your highness ) . the film is based upon the autobiography of the poet hart crane as written by paul mariani . crane was considered to be one of america ' s most influential poets following his suicide . the story that is told is one that has revolved around crane ' s struggles to survive as a poet determined to write prose , while also emphasizing his homosexuality and self - destructive behavior . james franco wrote the screenplay , directs , and stars .\nwith \u201cbroken tower , \u201d crane knew his poetry was difficult . he wrote in a very dense way on purpose , i think because he wanted people to read in a different way . he didn\u2019t want a surface - level reading . i wanted the movie to be loyal to that side of crane , to let the structure and the tone of the movie reflect crane\u2019s work and his personality .\nfor john irwin , an english professor at johns hopkins , the timing of the movie couldn ' t be better . irwin is the author of\nhart crane ' s poetry ,\nwhich became the first major study on crane ' s work in a quarter -

toi\u2019s destruction is practically part of the climax\u2014something that happens in the middle of the seventh and final book , after roland has been on his grueling journey for , well , the first six books . it\u2019s the end of an incredibly long and arduous ordeal , and part of the climax of the entire series . if there is another dark tower movie , roland can literally stroll to the tower at his leisure .\nnight of the living dead was george romero\u2019s first feature film and its title has become almost inseparable from its director\u2019s name . this in itself is problematic in that it allows the film\u2019s author to overshadow and even determine the film\u2019s interpretation . night of the living dead certainly encourages auteurist interpretation : romero both wrote and directed the film and is therefore , like the cinema \u201cgreats\u201d alfred hitchcock , howard hawks , or john ford , an auteur par excellence . but since the film so clearly and insistently engages with its contemporary social and political milieu , we must also try to understand it in its historical context .\nin the film , hermione is with harry when he saves himself , and sirius from the dementors , instead of with buckbeak .\nwhenever a spell is cast in the film , a faint whistling can be heard . this is the only film in which spells make this noise and are mostly used to signal when simple waves of the wand are actually some kind of spell .\nin its complete , cobbled - together cut , the dark tower runs 95 minutes . with apologies to my colleague k . austin collins\u2019s shorter - movie movement , that\u2019s not enough time for a film that was intended to turn a sprawling series of books , totaling roughly 4 , 000 pages , into a tentpole franchise for sony . rather than follow the path traced by the first book , which would have yielded a self - contained story that promised much more to come , the movie is both a sequel to the series and a sweeping distillation of some of its events . adapting dark tower at all is a tall order . adapting dark tower in an hour and a half is impossible .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nin the book , sirius ( in animagus form ) had grabbed ron by the arm and that ron ' s leg was broken when he tried to use one of the whomping willow ' s roots to hold them in place to avoid being dragged off only for the pressure to break his leg . this was changed to ron being grabbed by the leg in the film likely for being too graphic .\nmost wands have taken different shapes . this is marked as the first film to start making the wands for each character uniquely decorated .\nas a critic , i know i\u2019m supposed to do my homework . so let me confess right up front that i did not prepare myself to review \u201cthe dark tower , \u201d the droolingly anticipated film version of stephen king\u2019s multiverse novel series , by consuming all eight books in the series . i had a go at \u201cthe gunslinger\u201d [ \u2026 ]\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\nstill , franco ' s version of\nthe broken tower\nisn ' t necessarily a perfect introduction to crane . it ' s filmed in black and white , its plot can be hard to follow and its pacing is much slower than most hollywood movies . there are many seemingly aimless silent scenes that follow the back of franco ' s head while he stalks around various streetscapes . some film critics have called these qualities flaws . irwin , though , said he sees them as a reflection of franco ' s desire to be faithful to crane .\nthe redneck hostility of this language here is reflected in later films about racial hatred in america , such as alan parker\u2019s 1988 film mississippi burning . finally , the way in which the zombies are hung from trees in the final scenes of the film inevitably invokes the racist lynchings of america\u2019s past .\nfrom focus features , the premiere global brand in original and daring cinema , comes focus world . charged with finding the most exciting voices in international and independent film , focus world is proud to bring you the broken tower , from writer / director james franco . hart crane was one of the most important voices in american poetry - but lived a life with as much turmoil as passion . from his early life to his journeys from new york , cuba , and paris , crane ' s story and that of the loves that defined him is told with imaginative empathy , and with a no holds barred performance - in a film as introspective , rebellious , heartbreaking , and honest as crane himself .\nwhile waiting in a holding area for james franco to discuss \u201c the broken tower \u201d ( currently available on dvd / vod and opening at new york\u2019s ifc center on friday ) , i can make out everything franco\u2019s saying to another journalist in the next room , despite a closed door and office chatter around me . franco\u2019s not in a shouting match ; he\u2019s just passionately discussing the subject of his first feature to get a theatrical release , the poet hart crane .\nthe whomping willow is in a different location than it was in chamber of secrets ; in the earlier film , the willow was very close to the school and inside the training grounds . in this film , the willow is a considerable distance from the school , on the side of a slope and amidst rocky terrain .\nformer chancellor and now editor of the evening standard george osborne tweeted : \u201cjust seen this awful tower block fire near my home in w london . my prayers with those affected & heroes tackling it . \u201d\nthere are no scenes in diagon alley , in the film , resulting in harry reuniting with ron and hermione in the leaky cauldron lounge .\nwhen harry rides on buckbeak in the film , they fly all the way to the hogwarts lake ; in the book , they fly only once around the paddock in the forbidden forest .\nthere actually is a point to discussing franco ' s workaholic lifestyle while writing about his latest effort , the broken tower . the film feels amateurish despite the fact that franco has so many directing credits under his belt by now . i was disappointed by his style . the camera - work was shoddy ( unsurprising given what must have been low quality handheld cameras ) . i would have hoped for more from a professional actor worthy of miles of admiration . this film is messy : the camera - shots are often chaotic in style with poor visual techniques and the editing is also weak . when one scene feels ready to end it often extends much further than expected and many scenes feel unfinished and end in a somewhat abrupt fashion .\nin the book , hermione is with harry and sirius when they are attacked by the dementors . in the film , she attempts to run after him , but is stopped by snape , forcing her to stay behind with ron , who is not unconcious but has a broken leg and would likely be unable to keep up with harry if he , himself , tried to go after him .\nalso in the book , harry falls off his broom and cedric catches the snitch . in the film , the hufflepuff seeker is struck by lightning and harry falls off his broom , leaving the snitch apparently uncaught . also in the film , angelina johnson crashes after her broom catches fire which never occurred in the book .\nthe hogwarts choir doesn ' t exist in the book and the director only added it for the film , however , it was later mentioned in the sixth film as well ( in the scene in which professor flitwick uses\nemergency choir practice\nas an excuse to escape a conversation with professor slughorn ) .\nin the book , harry sat at the table with aunt marge and the dursleys , but in the film , he is just busy at the kitchen counter serving the dursleys and aunt marge .\nin the film , after buckbeak\u2019s apparent execution , hermione starts crying and hugs ron while harry comforts her . this never happens in the book .\ngodard , playing lang\u2019s assistant director in the film , has the last word , heard over the final tracking movement across the sea , a final command to the film crew , \u201csilence , \u201d as the camera starts rolling \u2014 a command that\u2019s then translated into italian . godard\u2019s view of serenity and continuity is necessarily splintered , because the modern world is a tower of babel where languages and discourses compete for mastery over a purity that eludes our grasp . not even silence is unmediated . there\u2019s a french silence , an italian silence , a german silence , and an american silence ; maybe even a greek silence , which the film prefers to remain silent about .\nin the film , in hagrid ' s hut a jar of yellow powder breaks which appears to have been thrown by a kind of rock fossil and then another one hits harry on the back of the head . this causes harry to turn and show hagrid that dumbledore , fudge and macnair are coming . in the novel , hagrid just sees the party coming through his window and tells the trio to leave and there is no vase broken .\nin the film , this conversation is taken to a private room , with only harry , rosmerta , mcgonagall , and fudge present .\nin light of the above comments by fiske and clarke , the violence in romero\u2019s film can be viewed as metaphorical \u2014 it stands for the interracial violence of 1960s america and for the horrors of the vietnam war that were so shockingly revealed on american television screens in the late 1960s . in a certain sense , then , the violence of the film may be seen as \u201crealistic\u2019 ; that is , it reflects and comments upon the violence of the period in which the film was made . violence is a theme romero has worked with in all of his zombie films in order to highlight current social injustices . indeed there is in the film a sense of documentary - like verisimilitude , especially in the grainy photographic images of the zombie cull at the end of the film , which recall contemporary photographs of the carnage in vietnam .\nin the book the rain during the hufflepuff quidditch match makes it difficult for harry to see until hermione casts impervius on his glasses , in the film , the quidditch players wear goggles .\nbecause that\u2019s where this tower crumbles . \u201cthe dark tower\u201d is hollow . it is soulless . it is a film that never quite figured out what it wanted to be , and so elected to be nothing much at all . worst of all , it\u2019s clearly been chopped up by those reported reshoots and test screening edits . there\u2019s a scene with a demon in a house that just ends and much of the final act material features a jake who looks a lot closer to puberty than when the movie began . weird humorous bits feel like they have been spliced in , trying to find as big an audience as possible . and while some may criticize stephen king\u2019s more populist works , that\u2019s a charge that could never be lobbied at the dark tower . these books had vision . they created worlds . they used iconic imagery to explore timeless themes . \u201cthe dark tower\u201d plays it so safe and takes so few risks that its greatest sin is in being the one thing those formative books never were for so many people : forgettable .\nin the first film , tom , the bartender and landlord of the leaky cauldron was portrayed by derek deadman ; but in this film , deadman has been replaced by a different actor , jim tavar\u00e9 . there is also a sharp difference between these two portrayals : in the first film , tom appeared quite normal with balding brown hair but in this film , he looks like a hunchback , and is bald . the same is true for the console versions of both the lego games . from the in - universe part of it , one can say that tom simply got older and his mind was weakened by the ageing . it ' s also possible that the original tom was simply a bartender who worked at the leaky cauldron , whereas the one in this film is the one from the books .\nthe part of bem was created solely for the film , he explains to seamus finnigan what the grim is and also expresses his concern over the dementors effectiveness at catching sirius .\nthe film ' s cocteau - esque concept is harnessed to some x - files - style paranoia , but it is the dazzling martial arts work that gives the film its special lift . the directors , the wachowski brothers , were already having ideas above their station when they came up with the matrix ( their only previous film , after all , was the sweaty , claustrophobic thriller bound ) . it was the martial arts choreographer yuen woo - ping who helped them reach the next level .\nharsh . but it gets more confusing when you see the beast destroy a portrait in the beginning of the movie . this picture looks like the prince as he appears at the end of the film .\nthis piece contains spoilers for batman v superman : dawn of justice . don\u2019t read it unless you\u2019ve seen the film or don\u2019t care about spoilers\nthis film should have caused interest in the property to skyrocket . instead , it left this reviewer . . . disinterested in learning more .\n. . . an entertaining film that manages to adapt well something that simply seemed unadaptable to the cinema . [ full review in spanish ]\nand no wonder : crane ' s life , as it ' s depicted in paul mariani ' s 1999 biography\nthe broken tower ,\nupon which franco ' s movie is based , isn ' t exactly as hollywood - friendly as\nthe avengers .\nharold bloom , perhaps the most famous literary critic alive , has called crane one of the three or four best poets of the 20th century . but crane ' s work is less well - known than that of his contemporaries like william carlos williams and robert frost .\nsome comments i\u2019ve heard or read online\u2026\u201dit\u2019s a mix between art film and student film . \u201d to me , that\u2019s just a really easy way to try and describe what it is . i\u2019m an older student for film school . i didn\u2019t need to go to film school to get movies made . i went because it put me in touch with younger filmmakers . it gave me permission to just experiment and try things . you don\u2019t need to be guided by the commercial theatrical marketplace that i\u2019ve been working in as an actor .\nhowever , eyewitnesses have reported that people are still trapped at the top of the building which is believed to have broken out on the second floor and engulfed up to 24 floors above it . small lights that look like torches have been seen by those on the ground , with individuals claiming the building is \u201cclose to burning through\u201d .\nthe film makers included a highland cow during the christmas scenes , likely as a reference to the remote areas of scotland where the castle is supposed to be situated . it may also be as a reference to dufftown , which is mentioned by hermione at one point in the film , for which highlands are known to exist .\ni mean for a lot of those films , i worked for a day really as favors . like for \u201ccherry , \u201d i worked a day because stephen elliott directed it and i optioned two of his books . michael shannon did \u201cthe iceman , \u201d and he was in \u201cthe broken tower\u201d and had done one of my student short films , so he basically said to me , \u201cit\u2019s time to do one of my things ! \u201d so there\u2019s a few things like that , that are kind of misleading .\ni shall discuss night of the living dead in relation to the formal categories of genre , structure , and theme , with particular reference to the film\u2019s engagement with the politics of race , gender , and violence . while these time - honoured categories are hardly exhaustive of the film\u2019s meaning , i hope that exploring them will take us some way towards understanding the film\u2019s central concerns and its wider cinematic importance and influence . some of my wider claims about romero\u2019s ideological vision are unoriginal \u2014 the exposition of romero as a social critic , for example , has been magnificently achieved by robin wood ( 2003 ) , amongst others . moreover , close readings of the film already exist , most notably the analysis of the film\u2019s \u201ctextual and structural\u201d aspects first published in the early 1970s by r . h . w . dillard ( 1987 ) nonetheless , my discussion ( i might almost say disinterment and dissection ) of the film offers some original contributions to the film\u2019s generic , stylistic , and structural analysis and explores some of the reasons for its continuing popularity at a time of renewed cultural and cinematic fascination with zombies .\nin the book , aunt marge stays for a couple of nights before she gets blown up . the film makes it seem she blows up the same day she visits .\nprisoner of azkaban has the dubious distinction of being , as of 2018 , the lowest - grossing film in the series . it was far from a failure by any means : it generated worldwide box office of us $ 797 million and is currently ranked the 41st highest grossing film of all time . [ 5 ]\nby the end , the dark tower can\u2019t seem to decide whether it\u2019s positioning itself for a sequel or content to conclude here . if the movie\u2019s ticket sales match its review scores , a sequel may not be an option . hope for the dark tower faithful ( whose broken hearts will mend ) lies in hollywood\u2019s endless , rolandesque capacity to remake the same stories . this version reportedly cost only $ 66 million , which means that even in the worst case , it won\u2019t bomb badly enough to preclude the possibility of another adaptation attempt . and even if another dark tower movie never gets made , the tv series\u2014which will be written and run by former walking dead showrunner glen mazzara , and in which elba is also supposed to appear\u2014could be better than its big - screen cousin . early indications are that the show , unlike the movie , will wisely pick up at the start of the saga , and a 10 - to 13 - episode order will allow mazzara more time to linger on the rooms of ruin , stairways standing in darkness , and spinning spiders that make mid - world what it is .\nin the books , this is very explicitly laid out ; in the movie , it isn\u2019t , but that\u2019s a whole other issue . the issue here is this location is so close , figuratively and literally , to the dark tower itself that putting it in the film at all removes hundreds of pages of potential storylines . the books probably cover years of travel , and now it\u2019s a journey of a couple of weeks at most .\nunfortunately , those alternative positions are never fully articulated in the film , nor , for that matter , are any specific problems with the revised chronology . by short handing particular perspectives , the film becomes biased towards rohl\u2019s revised chronological solution , when other solutions could have been discussed . when i asked mahoney media why that was the case , steve law , the film\u2019s co - writer , indicated that test audiences wound up becoming fatigued by \u201cto much information . \u201d ultimately he indicated that \u201cto us , the emphasis given in the film to the general idea of chronological revision not only was more cinematically engaging , but also has the most explanatory potency . \u201d\nalso in the book , marge only floats up to the ceiling , while in the film she uncontrollably floats out of the house , later to be found circling a chimney in sheffield .\nhermione is also watching this with ron in the film . in the book harry and ron had not reconciled their problems with hermione yet so she was elsewhere .\njames franco ' s arty piece about maverick poet hart crane may serve better as his thesis film than as a commercial release . twitter\njames franco ' s\nsal ,\na film about the last day in the life of 1950s teen heartthrob sal mineo , was made in 2011 , and it is only now getting a token release . this is franco ' s fifth feature as a director , and in the two years since he shot it in nine days he has made four other features , two documentaries , and two shorts while continuing to act in movies and write short stories and put together art shows . in the fourth feature he directed ,\nthe broken tower ,\nfranco cast himself as the great american poet hart crane and made a dreamy black - and - white hash of crane ' s life , filled with student film visuals and dorm - room philosophizing . it was a disgraceful movie , disconnected from any but the most superficial understanding of crane ' s work and life , and franco has only somewhat better luck with\nsal ,\na film about a likable but minor actor and icon .\nby opening night , that string of postponements and portents had left series loyalists screaming , \u201cface me , \u201d too ; however ugly the finished film , at least the wait would be over . unfortunately , their fears weren\u2019t unfounded . while it\u2019s not quite as terrible as the prerelease timeline indicated it could be , the dark tower adaptation doesn\u2019t stand on its own or face its source material in a satisfying way .\nthe dark tower movie , like the dark tower books , is packed with connections to king\u2019s other works : the script goes so far as to rename the series\u2019 psychic ability , \u201c the touch , \u201d to \u201cthe shine , \u201d even though there\u2019s already a reference to the shining in an earlier scene . over the course of thousands of book pages , a sprinkling of self - references help impart an impression of interlocking worlds , all joined to the tower and serving the beam . in a 95 - minute movie , it plays as frantic fan service , a distracting scavenger hunt for king creations ; ooh , i spy a low man in a yellow coat . to make those moments more pointless , the viewers who are likeliest to catch all of those easter eggs are also the ones who\u2019ll be most upset by the corners\u2014hell , whole books\u2014cut along the way .\nwhen the gryffindors and slytherins go to their first care of magical creatures lesson in the book they visit the hogwarts hippogriff herd , but in the film buckbeak appears to be the sole hippogriff at hogwarts .\nwhen james franco first came up with the idea to make a movie about the life of american poet hart crane , he had no idea he would wind up writing , directing , producing and starring in it , as he eventually did in\nthe broken tower ,\nwhich is getting a theatrical release friday . he thought he ' d just want to act . he was fascinated by crane ' s legendarily difficult , brilliant poetry , as well as his personal demons , which led him to alcohol and eventually suicide at age 32 .\nin \u201cthe broken tower , \u201d a fragmentary screen biography of crane , written and directed by james franco , who plays the poet , mr . franco speaks those words accompanied by images of the brooklyn bridge . that is the central symbol in crane\u2019s epic poem \u201cthe bridge . \u201d there follows an ungainly simulated sex scene between crane and emile ( michael shannon ) , in which amid much grunting the camera studies the pimples on mr . shannon\u2019s back . the prosaic encounter is so completely antithetical to the rhapsodic mysticism of crane\u2019s love poetry that you wish another director , say kenneth anger , had taken on crane as a subject .\nthis isn\u2019t all to say future dark tower movies are unsalvageable . . . not that it matters , considering this film\u2019s dire opening weekend box office . but either way , the movie failed to bring stephen king\u2019s masterful storytelling to the screen , which is what fans have loved about this series since the gunslinger was first published in 1982 . and it was a change that benefitted no one and nothing ."]}

( as i noted a couple years ago about ozu ' s previous film equinox flower , the storytelling may\u2026\nas in many ozu films , the dwellings are characters in themselves . ozu frames much of good morning from his famous near - floor - level perspective , showing how much more one can see when surveying something from a fresh angle . ozu\u2019s astonishing deep - focus compositions render each home as a flat yet distinctive series of planes within planes ( and stages within stages ) , each with its function . we see a foreground , for instance , where an out - of - work translator completes freelance assignments while his sister does errands in the background , each engaged in the affirming concentration of their tasks , though the compression also emphasizes their closeness . good morning boasts a kind of x - ray hyper - tactility that\u2019s intensified by ozu\u2019s embrace of technicolor , which he uses for its bold emphasis , allowing objects to pop with a painterly intensity that highlights their extraordinary ordinariness .\nthe story , such as it is , concerns two brothers\u2014probably about nine and six years of age\u2014who decide to go on a speaking strike until their parents buy a new television set ( all the rage , apparently , in those days ) . the boys are also rebelling against the grown - ups\u2019 use of meaningless greetings to fill up air space\u2014\u201cgood morning , \u201d \u201chow are you , \u201d \u201ci\u2019m fine , \u201d \u201cnice day , \u201d etc .\na western audience will deem the comedy subtle ; cultural differences between east and west , especially when it comes to bathroom humor , decidedly determine how funny someone will think good morning really is . there are a lot of fart jokes in the film . in fact , ozu uses farting as a way that characters communicate , especially the children . the schoolboys assign status to how easily one can blow wind by pushing an imaginary button on a forehead . inability to produce a toot results in minor ostracization . it must be said that the children\u2019s farts don\u2019t sound like the real thing\u2014they are high - pitched and somewhat musical in tone .\nohayo ( good morning , 1959 ) was the first ozu film criterion released on dvd , back in 2000 . the dvd format , launched in 1997 , really took off only after the matrix disc was released in september 1999 . so it\u2019s not surprising to find the ohayo edition quite sparse . no extras , no booklet , just a brief appreciation by rick prelinger ( which can be read here ) . one note is charming : \u201cto switch between the menus and the movie , use the menu key on your remote . use the arrow keys to cycle through menu selections . press enter / select to activate the selection . \u201d\nperhaps more significant , though , is that criterion has chosen to include as a supplement ozu\u2019s acclaimed silent film from 1932 , i was born , but\u2026 sound films came late to japan because of the benshi \u2014narrators who performed during screenings of silent pictures , commenting on the film\u2019s narrative . they had a powerful hold on the industry . criterion had previously released this title as part of an eclipse box set of early ozu titles , but here they\u2019ve upgraded the movie as a blu - ray . also a comedy , born deals with similar social mores . in this case , the boys influence how their father deals with his boss , and also how they relate to their school mate , the boss\u2019 son . for my money , despite being a silent picture , i was born , but\u2026 is better than good morning !\nthe itv period drama came to an end on christmas day in 2015 , but it was finally confirmed by the sun in may that a full length feature film edition would be made .\nan experienced entertainment show host was asked to interview a kidnap at a coffee shop by the kidnapper . it ' s a threat on personal safety , but also a good chance to save the show from shutting down .\nthe fussbudget in me can\u2019t resist correcting something that comes up in the promotional materials and in some reviews . ohayo wasn\u2019t filmed in technicolor . ozu used what was called \u201cagfa - shochikucolor . \u201d i believe that\u2019s just agfa film with shochiku adding its brand name , the way \u201cmetrocolor\u201d was mgm\u2019s eastmancolor . why agfa ? ozu explains : \u201cred turns out magnificently on agfa film . \u201d\nthis film relates several disparate storylines , each representing a different type of lifestyle within italian society at the time , through their common impersonal relationship to a social . . . see full summary \u00bb\nwith a 2008 composed score by donald sosin but it only has lossy audio . in it ozu examines japanese society through the yes of two rebellious young boys , a narrative device he would return to 27 - years later . there is a new 9 - minute interview with film scholar david bordwell who analyzes the evolution of director yasujiro ozu ' s style by comparing the 1932 silent film\nhe said : \u201ci felt that i had to share this with the world\u201d . in fact , the book - which often reads like a film script - was originally meant to be a movie .\nmost people list those two kids ( played by koji shitara and masahiko shimazu ) as the film ' s main characters . i suppose that ' s fair : a major plot throughline involves those two deciding not to speak until their parents buy them a television . but that doesn ' t happen until nearly halfway through the movie . people remember minoru and isamu more than the rest of the film , because after a certain point , ozu stays with them . it also doesn ' t hurt that masahiko shimazu appears to have been cast in the film after winning the most adorable kid in the world contest .\n: [ movie posters ] ozu pays tribute to his cinematic influences by putting all kinds of film posters all over the wall in his films . in this movie , there are two posters , one of\nthe programme ' s stars have , by and large , been desperate to reprise their roles on the big screen , remaining hopeful of a film ever since the series came to an end in 2015 .\nthe time of ' ' good morning , vietnam ' ' is 1965 . adrian cronauer ( robin williams ) , an armed forces radio disk jockey previously stationed in crete , lands in saigon to breathe a little life into the local programming . until cronauer ' s arrival , the afr saigon station has depended largely on the music of mantovani and percy faith and helpful hints on how to withdraw books from the army ' s lending libraries , interrupted from time to time by sanitized newscasts .\nthe film starts with a long shot of the neighborhood , its rooftops and fence and washlines in the distance , all dominated by a tower . the film ends with a shot of wash on a line , paying off the gag of the boy who constantly shits his underwear . but the angle of the shot constitutes a reverse angle of the very first shot , since the towers are now in the distance .\nthis film is very much a docudrama which portrays the difficulties of italian life circa 1963 due to the absence of a divorce law . five scenarios with different actors portray realistic . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe film was mostly shot in bangkok , thailand , and at the time , several hundred male students from the international ( american ) school of bangkok ( isb ) were recruited as extras to perform in the multitude of shots showing american gi ' s throughout the film . as a courtesy , robin williams actually came to isb and put on a stand up routine for all students in the 10th grade and above .\nthis is available only in the ozu boxset . on the dvd cover is printed an apology -\ndue to the original negative film condition , you may find some passages uncomfortable , we are sorry .\nit isn ' t entirely clear to me why some styles of filmmaking should suit particular genres . obviously , some techniques can reliably produce particular results : cutting suddenly to a shot of the killer right behind the victim will always make an audience jump , point - of - view shots that don ' t appear to belong to any particular character give a sense of unease , and so on . shock cuts are not a learned association , they tap into the startle reaction . but the link between point - of - view shots and unease could be learned , because most times you see that technique , a shock cut is just around the corner . i ' ve never seen another film with as completely static a camera as good morning , but the closest things i ' ve seen have all been dramas . i wonder if there ' s something about ozu ' s style that is intrinsically better suited to drama than comedy , or if i could have associated ozu - like camerawork with comedy if , say , ghostbusters or airplane ! had been shot that way . but they weren ' t , and good morning didn ' t do much for me . i probably should have watched tokyo story first ."]}

[ \u2026 ] it is not a film for most people . it is certainly for adults only . but it shows todd solondz as a filmmaker who deserves attention , who hears the unhappiness in the air and seeks its sources . \u2019 ( ebert 1998 paras 8 \u2013 9 ) .\nsolondz had made a name for himself as \u2018one of the most lacerating , funny and distinctive voices in american film\u2019 ( maslin 1998 para 3 ) \u2013 at least in the eyes of the new york times \u2013 and as such , happiness received overwhelmingly positive praise from the critics , even though its content is anything but standard fare . widely lauded as being imbued with a sense of irony , the over - arching message that the film sends is \u2018that happiness is elsewhere , happening to someone ( everyone ) else\u2019 ( murray 2011 p 230 ) and this feeling motivates all the characters as they struggle to find their place in what appears to be quite a regimented world .\nin other words , universal dropped happiness solely because of its content . and while its content ( specifically pedophilia ) makes happiness an extreme case , the fact that such a well - praised film was so easily jettisoned by the parent company points to a new reality for many independent film distributors : they aren\u2019t as independent as they used to be . while they\u2019re enjoying the deep pockets of conglomerate owners , they also must be prepared to navigate the whims and concerns of overlords made nervous by dipping stock prices and potential boycotts . such a risk - averse environment makes happiness seem like a resonant cautionary tale . \u201dmy sense is that it could happen with any distributor that is owned by a larger company , \u201d says killer film\u2019s christine vachon , one of happiness \u2018 producers .\nin life during wartime , solondz revisits his greatest triumph , 1998 ' s happiness , a lacerating depiction of suburban malaise . happiness won the critics ' prize in cannes and earnt a golden globe nomination for best screenplay \u2013 remarkable when you consider its main talking -

winning ensemble drama happiness \u2013 are drenched in irony .\nto say that happiness had a tumultuous time getting distributed would be an understatement . originally slated to be distributed by october films , the film was later dropped because its content was seen as too \u2018morally dubious\u2019 ( schamus 2000 p 257 ) for october\u2019s parent company , universal , to put their name to . in a piece producer james schamus wrote for nation , reflecting on the distribution of the film , he says :\nprabhat is 16 and a student of aditya birla world academy . on top of his travel plans is a trip to scotland . his favourite film character is achilles , from troy . a good film is \u2026 \u201csomething that makes me think . \u201d\nthe dark -

up to his indie hit welcome to the dollhouse indeed presents a cross - section of modern american agonies as an interlocked selection of characters strive for happiness in all manner of doomed ways . it ' s a vision of hell , but it has a truthfulness and a humanity that renders it as moving ( and , in a weird way , entertaining ) as it is horrific .\ni , for one , would be thrilled to see solondz ' s heart open in his future work . but it would be a mistake to flinch from the greatness of happiness in the meantime .\nwith this in mind , along with the decision made by solondz to have the film be released as unrated , it\u2019s hardly surprising that happiness had a difficult time securing distribution . bingam ray , one of october\u2019s founders , is alleged to have said in response to the dropping of happiness from universal : \u2018my attitude to universal was , buyer beware . tough shit , sherlock , fuck you , you read the script , you knew the kind of company we were , this was the kind of film that you should celebrate not censor . you should be embracing us , you shouldn\u2019t be kicking us in the ass\u2019 . ( biskind 2005 p 334 ) in getting the film released , many toes were trodden on and promises broken . ultimately , a deal was done between universal and a company called good machine , which was founded by three of the film\u2019s producers , james schamus , david linde and ted hope . the company didn\u2019t have the money to buy the film for distribution and it\u2019s reported that universal even helped them with the bank loan necessary to make the payment . interesting that a film october had been so supportive of from the beginning ended up being a liability to them .\nstill , there ' s something about solondz and his work that suggests that , like his characters , he will always suffer . even his debut feature film was calamitous \u2013 so much so , he doesn ' t like to include it on his official cv . made in 1989 , fear , anxiety & depression \u2013 in which he starred \u2013 still evokes the title ' s emotions in him . the film was poorly received , and solondz quit film -

rated film . cutting one explicit gay sex scene ( featuring dawson ' s creek ' s james van der beek ) , he was also forced to place a red box over the genital areas in a graphic multi - racial heterosexual sex scene .\nhere is my take on todd solondz ' s darkly comical masterpiece known as ' happiness ' - a film that deserves and requires attention . obviously , this analysis contains a handful of spoilers , as well as two clips with slight audio synchronisation issues . . . for which i completely blame sony vegas . anyway , i hope you enjoy my monotone voice !\nsrishti arya was to the film industry born . daughter of producer ramesh behl and sister of filmmaker goldie behl , srishti made her production debut with angaaray ( 1998 ) . following this , sristhi produced goldie\u2019s directorial debut , bas itna sa khwaab hai ( 2001 ) , which she also co - wrote . apart from bollywood , srishti for herself on the small screen . her shows have been described as bold and new - age . currently rose has the mega scale show , aarambh , on air on star plus , and more shows in the pipeline .\nrona murray deconstructs the fine line that the film needed to walk when it came to the visual display of the film : \u2018posters , generally , will target audiences through the suggestions of genre , narrative or star value . solondz\u2019s audience was less definable than that of a mainstream film and many arthouse movies\u2019 ( murray 2011 p 228 ) . the poster , a cartoon re -

up film , happiness , takes a turn towards the darker side of the human condition . the film loosely follows the stories of three middle - class sisters from new jersey ( and their parents ) and their pursuit of happiness in what can be a harsh world without much understanding . trish ( cynthia stevenson ) , the first sister , lives in the suburbs and is married to a paedophile ( dylan baker ) , whose raping of a young boy brought the film under much fire from critics and the mpaa alike . another sister , helen , ( lara flynn boyle ) is a writer whose neighbour ( philip seymour hoffman ) begins an obsessive love affair from the other side of her apartment wall , while he himself is being chased romantically by a woman from down the hall ( camryn manheim ) . jane adams plays joy , the unlucky - in - love third sister , struggling to find stability and acceptance in new york city .\ni\u2019d seen most , though not all , of solondz\u2019s films and the only one that made me almost violently reject it was happiness . maybe i couldn\u2019t figure it out , or maybe i just didn\u2019t want to go there .\nbiskind , p 2004 , down and dirty pictures : miramax , sundance and the rise of independent film , simon and schuster paperbacks , new york .\naviva is nine . she studies in chatrabhuj narsee school , in grade five . her favourite film character is harry potter and she wants to go travelling through france . a good film is\u2026 \u201csomething that attracts the interest of the audience and for me , it is more about communicating through storytelling . \u201d\njohn philip madden is an english director of film , television , theatre , and radio . an alumnus of the university of cambridge with a b . a . in english literature , he began his career with theatre , before moving on to the bbc and entering the world of radio and television . with several prominent television titles to his credit , including prime suspect 4 and episodes of sherlock holmes , madden turned his focus to feature films in the early nineties . his film shakespeare in love won the oscar for best picture in 1998 as well as the silver bear at the 49th annual berlin international film festival . his recent successes include much -

dog\nalready has our vote for the festival ' s most charming movie , sight - unseen . it chronicles a dachshund that inspires the lives of several individuals , including dawn wiener , the ridiculed protagonist of todd solondz ' s grand jury prize winner\nwelcome to the dollhouse .\ngreta gerwig , who is joined by an all - star cast , plays adult dawn . solondz has a rich history with sundance , with\ndollhouse\njump - starting his career before festival rejected his second feature , 1998 ' s\nhappiness ,\nbecause of its tough depiction of pedophilia . we expect\nwiener - dog\nwill skip the controversy in favor of joyful tears . - -\nwhat surprises him , however , is that\npeople took a studio seriously when they said they found the film ' morally objectionable ' . the idea of attaching any morality to a studio is naive ,\nhe says . he complains that , contrary to the negative buzz that happiness generated , daytime talk shows are able to address subjects like paedophilia :\nthey offer entertainment under the guise of a serious discussion .\nthe film was offered up to the major indie festivals , riding on the coat tails of its success at cannes : \u2018the strategy was to release it to film festivals , thus capitalising on its critical success and gaining free exposure\u2019 ( murray 2011 pp 228 - 229 ) . interestingly , the film was not accepted to sundance ; a festival which had well and truly made a name for itself as the place for independent cinema to thrive , especially when it contained subject matter that might struggle to thrive in any other public forum .\nthe film was highly controversial for its heavy sexual themes , especially its portrayal of bill , a pedophile and rapist , as a three - dimensional human being with redeeming qualities .\nhappiness is about the people that movies usually banish to the far corners : the lonely and the depraved , the \u201dlosers\u201d trapped in neurotic , even sick dreams of pleasure and transcendence . at times , the film\u2019s intimacy is almost too lurid , too much , to bear , yet solondz , a scampish showman , has a gift for tweaking our curiosity , so that , like children waiting for a monster to leap from the shadows , we\u2019re left giddy with anticipation at whatever seamy private horror is coming next . for all its taboo - smashing bravado ( graphic ejaculations , a sex offender portrayed with something close to sympathy ) , the film\u2019s true shock is one of recognition . these characters are really us ; one way or another , we\u2019re all slaves to the siren song of sexual craving . solondz\u2019s last film , welcome to the dollhouse ( 1996 ) , was also a comedy of desperation , but an elegantly small - scale one . happiness breaks through to haunted levels of erotic compulsion that place it closer to the hypnotic artistry of blue velvet . it marks the emergence of a major american filmmaker .\nthe individual sessions 1 . the hollywood model : strangers on a train , 1951 , alfred hitchcock / case study : diarios de motocicleta ( the motorcycle diaries ) , 2004 , walter salles ( 18 jan ) 2 . the linear plot , european versus american : spoorloos , 1988 , george sluizer / case study : the vanishing , 1993 , george sluizer ( 25 jan ) 3 . the nonlinear plot : reservoir dogs , 1992 , quentin tarantino / case study : happiness , 1998 , todd solondz ( 8 feb ) 4 . the literary adaptation : wuthering heights , 1939 , william wyler / case study : the great gatsby , 2013 , baz luhrmann ( 15 feb ) 5 . the dream structure : belle de jour , 1967 , luis bu\u00f1uel / case study : dans la maison , 2012 , fran\u00e7ois ozon ( 22 feb )\n\u2018october [ \u2026 ] was readying the film for a fall release when executives of october\u2019s parent company , universal studios ( which is itself owned by the montreal - based seagram company ) , asked to screen the film in los angeles . while universal - executives were pleased with the overwhelmingly positive response to happiness at cannes , word of the film\u2019s potentially controversial subject matter was causing concern . seagram is a publicly traded corporation whose primary business at the time of the screening was in the \u201cconsumer goods\u201d sector - in this case , the tricky alcoholic beverage market . with significant regulatory legislation pending in the united states [ \u2026 ] executives were feeling vulnerable to the possibility that right - wing and christian organizations might target the company\u2019s products for a consumer boycott should the film incite much controversy . the negative publicity generated by such a situation could have far - reaching consequences for many of seagram\u2019s core businesses ; companies such as disney had come under fire in recent years for art - house films produced by its subsidiaries . \u2019 ( schamus 1999 p 35 )\nhappiness\noccupies the emerging genre of the new geek cinema , films that occupy the shadowland between tragedy and irony . todd solondz also made\nwelcome to the dollhouse\n( 1996 ) , about an unpopular 11 - year - old girl who defiantly improvises survival tactics .\nhappiness\nis harder to take , and yet equally attentive to the suffering of characters who see themselves outside the mainstream - - geeks , if you will , whose self - image is formed by the conviction that the more people know about them , the less they ' ll like them .\n\u201cyou hated happiness , \u201d he said . he wasn\u2019t sticking the shiv in me . he seemed genuinely bewildered and perhaps a bit hurt , still , after all this time . and curious . \u201cyou said it was adolescent . i think you said something about it having a high - school mentality ? \u201d\nin his review of the film , roger ebert wrote ,\n. . . the depraved are only seeking what we all seek , but with a lack of ordinary moral vision . . . in a film that looks into the abyss of human despair , there is the horrifying suggestion that these characters may not be grotesque exceptions , but may in fact be part of the mainstream of humanity .\nif the film is less overtly controversial than happiness , solondz reckons this is because the past decade has seen a considerable shift in attitudes to the material \u2013 in particular the issues surrounding paedophilia .\ni suppose when i made happiness , 10 years ago , the subject matter was more shocking . i don ' t think there ' s anything shocking about it today . it ' s shocking when you don ' t read about this stuff . it ' s in all the media and so forth . i went to the park recently back home . there ' s a little sign and it says : ' no adults may enter unless accompanied by a minor . ' that kind of thing never existed when i was growing up , and i don ' t even know if it existed 10 years ago .\nrajendra is the chief curator of film at the museum of modern art . he is also a member of the selection committee for new directors / new films and has served on numerous juries and selection committees\nsolondz\u2019s deliberate pacing and tendency to run all his scenes at length make the film seem every bit as long as it is ; at two hours , 20 minutes , pic feels a bit indulgent and overextended .\ndulquer made his acting debut in 2012 , with second show and won the filmfare award for best male debut . he has since garnered a following for his performances in award - winning films like kammatipaadam ( 2016 ) and charlie ( 2015 ) . over the past five years , he has acted in over 30 malayalam and tamil films , and is set to enter the hindi film industry with the upcoming film , kaarwaan .\nby far solondz ' s best film , an original exploration of american suburban angst , with three chekhovian sisters at the center and a gallery of\ndeviant\ncharacters that are presented with humor in non - judgmental way .\nnew york \u2013 last november , students at reed college in oregon were invited to a public screening of kimberly peirce\u2019s 1999 film \u201cboys don\u2019t cry\u201d in the presence of the director , an event intended to mark the . . .\nperhaps solondz ' s most daring film , it ' s also his most gimicky , as eight different actors , of differing race , weight and sex , all take turns playing the same 12 - year - old girl . jm\nthe dark dementia lurking beneath placid everyday life bubbles to the surface in todd solondz\u2019s \u201chappiness , \u201d a disturbing black comedy that , at bottom , is about all the trouble sex causes people . a skillfully made examination of the problems a host of intercon - nected characters face even approaching the ideal represented by the title , overlong pic sees [ \u2026 ]\nwith its stylistic emphasis upon the facades that enforce \u201cnormalcy\u201d and the codes of civilized behavior , combined with its urge to ex - pose the decidedly impolite , often warped impulses that variously stew or erupt in human beings , \u201chappiness\u201d often brings to mind \u201cblue velvet . \u201d david lynch\u2019s film may have drawn more directly upon an unmediated descent into its maker\u2019s subconscious , and also served up more striking visual images , but solondz\u2019s picture is unsettling for the similar reason that it explores taboo territory with moral ambiguity , acknowledging its forbidden nature while stressing a common , and undeniable , fascination with it .\ni ' m telling you , you get it all in\nhappiness\n- - masturbating adults , masturbating children , ejaculations splashing on bedroom walls , sexual predators getting chopped up and stuck in baggies , obscene phone calls , adultery , betrayal , and ( as a special bonus ) a pedophile father who drugs his young playmates and rapes them during sleep - overs .\nbased on brad land ' s 2005 memoir ,\ngoat\noffers a portrait of\nbrotherhood\ngone wrong in its depiction of a 19 - year - old college student who pledges his brother ' s fraternity and is brutally hazed . sundance touts the film as \u201cpart neorealism , part horror film , \u201d which is a description we can get behind , especially when it involves nick jonas in a key role . to top it off , james franco produced the movie . - -\nlittle wonder he ' s shocked by the fact he has a new film to promote , life during wartime .\nit ' s such an anomaly , particularly in these economic times . things are so grim for the non - studio film - maker . i ' m just lucky . it ' s just weird that this movie got financed , finished and so forth . i can ' t account for it .\nadmittedly , the financing failed several times before the film finally got off the ground . but given solondz ' s reputation and the\ndifficult\nmaterial contained within , that ' s hardly surprising .\nif i had wanted to do something that would be more marketable , i think i wouldn ' t have had the same struggle .\nwith : joy jordan - jane adams bill maplewood - dylan baker helen jordan - lara flynn boyle lenny jordan - ben gazzara vlad - jared harris allen - philip seymour hoffman andy kornbluth - jon lovitz ann chambeau - marla maples trish maplewood - cynthia stevenson diane freed - elizabeth ashley mona jordan - louise lasser kristina - camryn manheim billy maplewood - rufus read rhonda - anne bobby joe grasso - dan moran johnny grasso - evan silverbergcamera ( duart color ) , maryse alberti ;

you could certainly call him unsparing in the way that he showed people\u2019s deluded self - images in order to puncture them .\ntodd solondz ' s\nhappiness\nis a film that perplexes its viewers , even those who admire it , because it challenges the ways we attempt to respond to it . is it a portrait of desperate human sadness ? then why are we laughing ? is it an ironic comedy ? then why its tenderness with these lonely people ? is it about depravity ? yes , but why does it make us suspect , uneasily , that the depraved are only seeking what we all seek , but with a lack of ordinary moral vision ? in a film that looks into the abyss of human despair , there is the horrifying suggestion that these characters may not be grotesque exceptions , but may in fact be part of the mainstream of humanity . whenever a serial killer or a sex predator is arrested , we turn to the paper to find his neighbors saying that the monster\nseemed just like anyone else .\nhappiness\nis a movie about closed doors - - apartment doors , bedroom doors and the doors of the unconscious . it moves back and forth between several stories , which often link up . it shows us people who want to be loved and who never will be - - because of their emotional incompetence and arrested development . there are lots of people who do find love and fulfillment , but they are not in this movie .\nthis is a terribly difficult film to review because i think a lot of it works beautifully as a character study while remaining wholly distasteful when you consider that there are actual people being victimized in the real world while you ' re sitting there watching it . and they aren ' t snickering . everybody ' s talking about the pedophilia subplot , of course ( and it ' s certainly the most troublesome part of the film ) , but that ' s just the most obvious of solondz ' s over - the - top indulgences .\nfew enter the world of independent film expecting to get rich , but it doesn\u2019t hurt to do well . in a screen daily interview , longtime producer and indie stalwart christine vachon says that \u201c still alice \u201d is the biggest success story in the company\u2019s history . read more : metrograph & indiecollect announce world premiere of \u2018gems unseen , \u2019 featuring early films from todd haynes & christine vachon \u201c\u2018 still alice \u2019 is the movie that is sending my daughter to college , \u201d vachon tells screen daily from the glasgow film festival . \u201cit was a big success and an honest company . it\u2019s done very , very well for us . \u201d vachon co - founded killer films with pamela koffler in 1995 and has worked extensively with todd haynes , among many others . among her productions to receive critical praise but little in the way of financial success are \u201cboys don\u2019t cry , \u201d \u201c happiness \u201d and \u201c carol . \u201d read more : kickstarter campaign hopes to find lost\nmainland china \u2019s film market might be volatile and unpredictable for many hong kong filmmakers , but that does not stop andy lo from trying . the long - time scriptwriter and director of \u201chappiness\u201d says he wants the best of both worlds , and he\u2019s determined to achieve that . \u201ci do want my films to succeed in both hong kong and mainland china , but the harder and more obvious you are , the more likely you will lose , \u201d says lo . \u201ci think we should separate the two markets : you either make a film that is very hong kong , or one that targets mainland local culture . \u201d lo began as a scriptwriter for \u201c gorgeous \u201d ( 1999 ) , which starred jackie chan . he went on to co - write many titles including quirky crime drama \u201ccrazy \u2019n the city\u201d ( 2005 ) , which won the screenplay prize at hong kong\u2019s golden bauhinia awards in 2006 ;

' quite the contrary . they are trying to get as large an audience as possible . happiness is just a little movie . there was a lot of controversy and flak that they weren ' t anticipating .\nwhether solondz admits it our not , part of his films\u2019 disturbing appeal springs from their transgressive nature . they are , at times , like psychological horror films : one is scared by the sheer inappropriateness of what\u2019s on screen . happiness is probably still his best picture . it was followed over a decade later by a very interesting , but flawed , semi - sequel called life during wartime . todd is still out there . sleep uneasy in your beds .\nset mostly in suburban new jersey , the film takes its time revealing the ways its dozen or so characters are related , and that\u2019s part of solondz\u2019s design ; we seem to be discovering how their personalities complete each other . the nerd\u2019s next - door - neighbor goddess is a trendy writer of transgressive poetry ( lara flynn boyle ) who lords it over her two sisters : melancholy joy ( jane adams ) , a guitar - strumming waif who suffers from pathological niceness , and trish ( cynthia stevenson ) , a chirpy , passive - aggressive housewife . their parents ( ben gazzara and louise lasser ) are ending a loveless 40 - year marriage , and happiness , indeed , views domestic life as a snake pit of secrets . in the film\u2019s astonishing dramatic centerpiece , trish\u2019s blandly unsmiling husband , bill ( dylan baker ) , turns out to be a feverish gay pedophile . between weirdly kinky fatherly chats with his preteen son ( rufus read ) , he uses sleep - over nights to drug his family into unconsciousness and do unspeakable things to the boy\u2019s friends .\nlast month\u2019s hong kong film awards was on a special mission . in addition to the usual star - studded glamour , the event was literally a stage for newcomers . lesser - known young actors were given the opportunity to present awards as well as giving speeches to introduce the best film contenders to the audience . the event , with 37 years of history behind it , has never felt so young and refreshing . the special treatment given to the young actors was seen as a response to a crisis of the hong kong film industry . as established stars ranging from chow yun - fat and andy lau to international action heroes jackie chan and donnie yen age well into their 50s and 60s , there\u2019s no new generation of local younger stars to follow in their footsteps . \u201chong kong has a lot of great young talents but times have changed and they have less exposure and opportunities to practice their crafts in bigger ,\na few of the characters aren\u2019t as richly imagined . boyle\u2019s author vixen is a vindictive caricature , and there are winking throwaways like the deadbeat russian cabbie ( jared harris ) who offers joy a fleeting moment of amorous hope . yet all of the actors are inspired , and you\u2019d hardly want everyone to be as painful to watch as allen , the masturbating phone perv ( played by hoffman with fearless lived - in wonkishness ) . darting from the tragic to the farcical to the scarily salacious , happiness stares at its characters with a voyeuristic candor so unflinching it becomes a kind of twisted benediction . the film is really inviting us to meditate on the chasm between our public and private selves ( a notion that may have special resonance in the age of monicagate ) .\nperplexed , i watched happiness again 12 years after first reviewing it and thought it was amazing . not just the scene with dylan baker trying to drug and molest that kid \u2014 maybe one of the most notorious examples of how a filmmaker can twist an audience\u2019s identification since the heyday of alfred hitchcock \u2014 but the entire movie . it was funny , sad , sincere , ugly , tough , weird , occasionally horrifying . you could not watch it and feel nothing .\nbingham ray ( one of the founders of october films ) articulated the niche market that films such as happiness inhabit : \u2018\u201di always wanted to be able to try things that were not necessarily commercially viable . i\u2019m not some avant - gardist , i know the difference between something that\u2019s truly experimental and something that\u2019s wholly mainstream , but i\u2019d like to think that somewhere in the middle is a comfort zone where there\u2019s an audience . it might not be the largest , or the most lucrative , but for me the rewards there are the greatest ' \u201d ( murray 2011 p 234 ) . for him , at least , it\u2019s not necessarily the monetary return that a film earns , but more about bringing issues of societal importance up for debate and into the consciousness of the audience ."]}

as - tacks analyst , able to sum up , in a few lucid phrases , exactly what he was about and why .\nmy films are often about how families and other communities are built and fall apart . how one incident can break a community apart . this film is about such a community . it\u2019s also about how strangers relate to each other .\nfor me the mystery element came first , but there were other elements as well . another interviewer told me he didn\u2019t know which genre the film belongs to . that was my intention \u2014 it\u2019s like a horror movie in some ways . there are various elements in it .\nthere\u2019s a black humor that\u2019s almost british , like something hitchcock might have come up with .\nbritish people might think it funny . there\u2019s a hitchcock film called \u201cthe trouble with harry\u201d about an inconvenient corpse \u2014 if it\u2019s found there\u2019ll be trouble , so it has to be hidden .\nyour approach seems to be more distanced , though , more eye - of - god .\nyour casting of koji yakusho is interesting as well . he\u2019s got a warm , tom hanks quality that\u2019s at odds with everything around him .\nthat\u2019s what i paid the most attention to when i was writing the script . an ordinary guy like koji yakusho stands out , but he\u2019s also being absorbed into the group . there\u2019s an american sci - fi film called \u201cthe invasion of the body snatchers\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s as though he\u2019s having his body snatched .\nat the same time , i didn\u2019t want to make a 100 percent horror movie \u2014 i stopped just a bit short .\nin a mystery , the criminal and the dialogue are important . on the other hand , a film is not interesting when you explain everything with words , so i tried to get away from that . if you can create drama from points of view \u2014 from who is looking at whom \u2014 and from the conversations [ between the characters ] , the film becomes more interesting . that was the challenge i had , to create that drama . it\u2019s a story about ordinary people . at first they don\u2019t understand anything \u2014 then they find out little by little . there\u2019s no professional detective . everyone is an amateur . it\u2019s an all - amateur mystery .\nthey all seem like good people \u2014 but they behave as if they\u2019re living in the warring states ( sengoku jidai ) period , when any sort of savagery went .\nthat\u2019s japanese society . the wildness in the [ film\u2019s ] children is like a state of savagery \u2014 not at all like a supposedly advanced civilization . the savagery of human beings hasn\u2019t changed at all \u2014 that\u2019s the truth . people wear masks , but at heart they\u2019re still wild .\nthe one who best expresses that may be akira emoto , as the doctor .\nthe doctor is a real gentleman \u2014 but being a gentleman for him is like wearing a suit . in reality , he\u2019ll do anything . he\u2019s a symbol of this society .\nas you said , that\u2019s a major point of the film \u2014 that seemingly ordinary people can do that sort of thing . but the position of etsushi toyokawa\u2019s teacher is more ambiguous .\nhe\u2019s between the children and the adults . he\u2019s calmly watching what the adults are doing , but he\u2019s also seeing what the children are doing . he knows that the children do what they do as a result of the adults\u2019 actions . he\u2019s standing between the two groups .\ni know that you do both television and films . if you had made this story as a tv drama , would you have shot it any differently ?\nbecause it was a film , i could shoot it the way i wanted . because it was a film , i could do this sort of story and think about this sort of problem seriously .\nthere seems to be a trend now for indies directors from the \u201990s , including you , hirokazu koreeda and takeshi kitano and even takashi miike to make bigger , more commercial films . i suppose that\u2019s a natural process .\nwell , these are interesting directors , so there are producers now who will up their budgets and help them make films that people will come to see .\nyour producer on this film and other past works was takenori sento . he\u2019s known for thinking about the foreign market . what about this film ?\ni thought of it as being for the domestic market . there\u2019s a lot of dialogue , so you end up with a lot of subtitles . for people who only understand english , there are a lot of words to process . the characters speak fast .\nyes , but i don\u2019t really care which . if the producer can say , \u201cthis is going to cannes or berlin or venice , \u201d it\u2019s easier to raise money for the budget . once the money is raised , then i have to make a film we can submit somewhere .\nnow , though , i want to make a film we can take to cannes . cannes is interesting \u2014 something wild always happens when i go there . i enjoy that .\ni\u2019d like to try a melodrama . then a period drama . not a samurai film , but something that takes place in the recent past , during world war ii or the meiji era .\ni\u2019ve talked to several directors recently who said the same thing \u2014 they want to make a period drama .\nthat was the approach of tai kato \u2014 to comment on present -

or even \u00a550 , 000 , 000 . so if he only has x amount of money i ' ll give him this idea ; but if he has y amount of money then i ' ll give him that idea . for me , this is what helps choose what story we ' ll end up making . so , i ' ll have many ideas brewing , but what i set out to do depends ultimately on the budget .\nso how do you get from idea and script to choosing a location ? because it seems like your locations are deliberately and well chosen : for example the broken - down pachinko parlor in wild life , the large parking lots in both that film and eureka etc .\nfirst , i have the script , right ? and then i consult with the location manager about what i want . he then goes off by himself and finds places that he thinks will work . he then comes back and shows me what he ' s found . from there , i choose what i like . in fact , in wild life , this was a really time consuming activity but some of the locations that we found were so great , that i actually went back and rewrote some scenes to take advantage of what we had .\nadditionally , when we were making the film , i was really aware of continuity issues and , for example , when we were shooting in the parking lot , i wanted to be able to see everything in surroundings . nearby we found some emergency stairs from which we could view the whole scene and i liked what i saw , so we used it . but really , it was in large part thanks to the help of my film crew ."]}

a neighbor watching her friend\u2019s home while she was out of town helped police foil a burglary in progress early wednesday morning on seames drive .\n\u2018where is the friend\u2019s home\u2019 was the first kiarostami film to attract the attention of western critics and was the first of several masterpieces he directed over the next two decades . unlike most directors of his generation , kiarostami\u2019s career began during the reign of the shah . his early films were produced by the institute of the intellectual development of children and young adults , a body that he helped established , which were responsible for education films for children . shortly after , kiarostami moved onto directing films about more serious issues within iranian society , but \u2018where is the friend\u2019s house\u2019 remains not only one of this director\u2019s most affecting films but one of the most sympathetic films i\u2019ve ever seen about childhood .\nan 8 year old boy must return his friend ' s notebook he took by mistake , lest his friend be punished by expulsion from school .\nunfortunately for nematzedeh , ahmed accidentally takes his friend\u2019s notebook home , and now he has to return it , lest his mistake lead to someone else\u2019s expulsion . that means venturing to poshteh and hoping that someone can tell him where nematzedeh lives , preferably before dark so ahmad can get home early enough to prevent his mom from being too angry .\nabbas kiarostami made a bunch of films in the \u201870s and the early - and mid - \u201880s , but , on some unknown proportion of merit , accessibility , and initial acclaim / visibility ( it won an award at the 1987 locarno film festival ) , where is my friend\u2019s home , the beginning of the informal koker trilogy , is considered his first major work among a great deal of cinephiles .\nthe iranian cinema is abundant with films about children ( the white balloon and children of heaven being the two classic popular examples ) . where is the friend\u2019s home ? in many respects began the trend of iranian child - themed films and is the most culturally significant to date for a number of reasons . foremost , it was the first film in a few decades to garner attention outside iran . it is ostensibly a neorealist film in the style of bicycle thieves : a young boy must return his friend\u2019s notebook or his classmate will be expelled from school . shot on location , using non - actors , featuring an impossible - quest narrative ( to reveal the ambiguity of life , no less ) the film appears extremely straightforward as a social critique of iranian culture towards the treatment of children . but friend\u2019s home is so much more than a simple rehashing of italian neorealist traditions ; it is rich in symbolism and poetic form .\nat home ahmed\u2019s mother , busy with housework , continually gives her boy menial jobs and refuses to let him go outside and return mohamad reza\u2019s schoolbook . among the chores , though , is to go fetch some bread from the local bakery , and ahmed seizes this opportunity to rush outside with the schoolbook in search of his friend\u2019s home , whose location he only knows to be in the neighbouring village of poshteh .\nthere are some interesting moral issues in where is the friend\u2019s home ? . ahmed is always utterly sincere and instinctively honest towards everyone . but sometimes there are higher principles than literal honesty . his ultimate goal is one of compassion : to help his friend , mohamad reza , and this is manifested in part 1 when he helps his friend after he has fallen down and dropped his schoolbook . in so doing , though , he accidentally walked away with his friend\u2019s schoolbook , and now his primary goal is to return the book . this is not just to expunge his own guilt , but represents a continuation of his sincere concern for his friend\u2019s vulnerability of expulsion from school . adherence to this higher goal trumps more mundane rules that one follows . so although he is instinctively honest , ahmed , in pursuit of the higher good , does hesitantly make compromises with literal truth at several turns . in part 1 he is supposed to get bread and pretends to do so , but instead rushes off to poshteh with his friend\u2019s schoolbook . later in part 4 he effectively lies to the old man by implying that he has found his friend\u2019s house and returned the book . and there is still one further lie to come . \u2605\u2605\u2605\nas the film progresses , a deeper theme gradually surfaces : the boy ' s sense of \u201cdoing the right thing\u201d is almost always in struggle with the complicated world of rules and duties that are forced on the child by the unfair adult world . the film depicts a meaningful truth : a child learns that not all that his elders say is right and that sometimes it is alright to break the convention . \u201dwhere is my friend ' s home ? \u201d is a perfect example that a story does not need to be exciting to be meaningful , and that the best stories come from the simplest of stories . the movie is one of kiarostami ' s finest and surely one of those movies that should not be missed by any film enthusiast .\nhis notebook , which is apparently a big deal . from the onset , the viewer witnesses the ugliness that is the experience of the iranian child\u2014discipline through humiliation , negativity and corporal punishment . mohammad reza is told his next offense will result in expulsion , a needlessly harsh punishment that is doubtlessly typical in a real iranian schoolroom . having been put in a precarious situation of accidentally taking mohammad reza\u2019s notebook , ahmad must make a series of choices to ensure his friend does not get expelled . first he must obtain permission to leave home ; he must then prioritize his other chores ; and he must find his friend\u2019s home relying on the spotty directions of neighbors . having failed to find mohammad reza\u2019s residence by film\u2019s end , ahmad makes the best decision of the whole film : to simply do his friend\u2019s homework .\ni would normally only say\nin my friend ' s house\nif physically being in the house was particularly important , e . g .\ni was in my friend ' s house when the ceiling fell in !\nor , you can send a donation to an appropriate cause , charity or institution in memory of the friend . the obituary often mentions the family ' s suggestions ; if not , you can call the funeral home for such information .\nschoolteachers in abbas kiarostami\u2019s filmography are almost always intimidating , the first institutional authority figures presented to developing children and their first taste of rigorous punishment and enforced obedience . the first shot of where is the friend\u2019s home ? is trained on a door blowing open and closed with the breeze until the frame darkens with the spectre of a teacher ( kheda barech defai ) who emerges like a monster , returning to his classroom to berate his students . the man\u2019s presence is so unnerving , and he is so furious with one child , mohamed ( ahmed ahmedpour ) for doing his homework on loose paper instead of his copybook , that the boy in question is rendered almost catatonic with fear .\nplot : in order to stop his friend from being punished from school , an 8 -

ups the strains of lyricism he would only develop further with time .\nallow your friend to experience all the hurt , sorrow and pain that he or she is feeling at the time . enter into your friend ' s feelings , but never try to take them away . and recognize that tears are a natural and appropriate expression of the pain associated with the death .\n' it ' s too hot . okay , there i said it ' -

pressed flower lying in the notebook . only ahmad and the viewer understand its significance .\nthe first is most idiomatic in the us , though all might be used , depending on the circumstances .\nmore than that , though , where is my friend\u2019s home is a perfect piece of evidence that a plot need not be eventful to be worthwhile , and that sometimes the simplest stories are the most touching . at the beginning , we see a schoolteacher scold mohamed reda nematzedeh because he did his homework on a sheet of loose - leaf instead of a newspaper . this is now the third time he has been told to use a notebook and the next one comes with expulsion . a rather hefty penalty to impose on someone who does their homework , one might think .\nhobart ' s old zoo is famous as being where the last thylacine in captivity died , but in its heyday people could view elephants , zebras , monkeys and even see a girl walking her pet leopard . what happened to the beaumaris zoo ?\na christmas sauna is a must for many a finn , as is a family excursion to the church to sing christmas carols .\nnot alone did ballymote native gary milmoe travel all the way home from australia to best man for his best friend , he also found the time to create and perform a witty song inspired by the music luke kelly and christy brown .\nit is a setting ms steer is particularly proud of , and wanted to show off to some travelling musicians .\nwith millions of reviews and protected online payments , tripadvisor helps travellers book your home with confidence .\nas hot licks says , it depends . what you wish to convey will set which fits best . when you want to emphasize intimacy of the event , say , ' . . . in . . . home ' tops the chart . when you ' re simply seeing a scene where the details of the friend ' s place are incidental , the ' . . . at . . . house ' construction ranks high . et cetera .\nin a strictly plot - driven sense , all that really happens is that ahmad asks people where nematzedeh\u2019s house is and receives marginal help at best . what is happening beneath the surface is that ahmad is discovering some form of civic obligation to help . he must correct his own mistake and he must go the extra - mile to help out a classmate , because that\u2019s what good people do for one another . nematzedeh does his homework . his being expelled for not doing it in a notebook is silly . morality , ahmad learns , comes from within oneself , not from the rules someone else imposes on you .\n\u2018where is the friend\u2019s house\u2019 is an early indication of kiarostami\u2019s talents , which would be confirmed by the likes of \u2018close up\u2019 ( 1990 ) and the palme d\u2019or winning \u2018a taste of cherry\u2019 ( 1997 ) . a deceptively simple tale of friendship , the film functions on many more levels than this , demonstrating the everyday life of rural iran , a world that certainly not many in the west will have seen . showing the influence of the italian neo - realists , it would go on an influence numerous iranian film makers , many of whom would be under the patronage of kiarostami himself .\nthe film that established director abbas kiarostami ' s reputation outside his native iran , where is the friend ' s home ? tells a simple story in such a spare fashion , many critics found its impact to be almost subliminal . as the film opens ahmed ( ahmed ahmed poor ) , a grade schooler , watches as his teacher ( kheda barech defai ) berates a fellow student , mohammed ( babek ahmed poor ) , for repeatedly failing to use his notebook for his homework , threatening expulsion on the next offense . when ahmed returns home , he realizes he ' s accidentally taken mohammed ' s notebook . against his mother ' s orders , he sets out in search mohammed ' s house , encountering false leads , dead ends , and distractions as he attempts to enlist adults in his search . ~ keith phipps , rovi\nthis woman ' s story of learning her boyfriend was cheating from a delivery man is confounding . . .\nl\u00e1szl\u00f3 nemes ' s acclaimed debut feature re -

( chris\n( the other two variations substitute the word\nhouse\nfor\nhome\nin the two translations above ) . it ' s an important distinction .\nthe friend\nimplies more of a journey of responsibility while\nmy friend\nimplies something more personal . using\nmy\nimplies a real friendship and one that would obviously necessitate ahmed finding mohamed to return his notebook . still a moral and ethical act but one more expected of a true friend .\nthe friend\nimplies more of the actual situation in the film , a school friend that sits behind ahmed and has inter - school interaction but little else . risking all to help out a school acquaintance means more in this case , as it ' s a risk for someone not as close to ahmed .\nkeep in mind that your friend ' s grief is unique . no one will respond to the death of someone loved in exactly the same way . while it may be possible to talk about similar phases shared by grieving people , everyone is different and shaped by experiences in their own unique lives .\nkiarostami\u2019s cinematography is straightforward and intuitive in the film . the focalization is almost entirely that of the boy , ahmed , and we see everything from his anxious perspective , where things that may seem trivial for adults can have considerable magnitude . to maintain this sense of immediate involvement , kiarostami doesn\u2019t employ the long , fixed - camera takes that characterize his later films . here instead , the visual continuity is well motivated , and even the many shots of ahmed running across the countryside are smoothly and naturally executed .\nshrove sunday , or the finnish version of mardi gras , is celebrated in february seven weeks before easter on a tuesday . the finnish sleigh carousel or pole sledge , napakelkka , is not so common anymore but it is the quintessential laskiainen sledge .\nthe belmont rocks was one of the city ' s most significant public lgbtq destinations . now author owen keehnen is assembling an oral history of the dearly departed lakeside cruising spot .\nreview : like many of kiarostami ' s previous works , the movie is about a child ' s story , presumably due to the fact that such subjects are unlikely to include social constraints than would stories about more adult men and women . kiarostami ' s cinematography in the film is honest and innate , with the entire focus put on the boy , ahmed , showing the movie from his anxious perception .\nin finland , that magical christmas experience is not just something you see on television , it is something you truly experience .\nfinland\u2019s independence day on 6 december is all about commemorating those who lost theirs lives fighting for the country\u2019s independence , both in wwi and wwii . friends and family get together for a dinner at home or in a restaurant . watching the presidential independence day reception live from tv and critically examining the guests\u2019 clothes and demeanor is a much loved tradition these days . people also take part in a torch light procession or visit the soldier\u2019s graves at the cemeteries . white - blue candles are placed on the window sills .\nthere ' s a certain pleasure to life , the surroundings and the architecture that always comes across in kiarostami ' s work . it ' s difficult to put a finger on , but much of the reason it resonates is there aren ' t any big scenes to distract the audience from its presence . a hollywood picture is like taking a run on a nearly shoulderless main road with your diskman blaring , while a kiarostami picture is like taking a stroll on a nature trail . perhaps the best thing about iranian cinema is its calming and relaxing nature . there is no less urgency , in fact there ' s usually more , it ' s simply put across through more naturalistic means rather than an assault on one ' s senses .\nwow , he ' s really good ,\ndouglas said of the musician .\nthis is cool to have live music .\nuse the name of the person who has died either in your personal note or when you talk to your friend . hearing that name can be comforting , and it confirms that you have not forgotten this important person who was so much a part of your friend ' s life .\nin some ways one might compare kiarostami to luis bunuel . both of them were obliged to work in conventional commercial formats ( in bunuel\u2019s case , as an expatriate in mexico ) , and then both subsequently received accolades that gave them the latitude to try more intellectually adventuresome and personally expressive works . and yet , for both , those early constraining production circumstances may have somehow contributed to their producing their best work . in the case of where is my friend\u2019s home ? , what we have is a deceptively simple little story that seems trivial : an eight - year - old schoolboy has mistakenly taken his friend\u2019s schoolbook and has to return it to him . but this film benefits from not straying far from its straightforward goal that everyone can understand ; and that is what carries the narrative along . as the film progresses , though , we gradually detect a deeper theme : this boy\u2019s sense of \u201cdoing the right thing\u201d is almost continually in conflict with the confusing world of rules and duties that are imposed on him by the adult world . the film narrative proceeds in five parts .\nthis review is the subjective opinion of a tripadvisor member and not of tripadvisor llc .\nthe lutheran church who is commemorated . every year , on december 13 , a new saint lucia is crowned and she starts her parade through downtown helsinki at the main cathedral in the senate square . this kind of lucia tradition is also found in turku .\nthis is just my basement , pretty much almost everything here is getting recycled or tossed , i can\u2019t wait to feel the liberation . can\u2019t wait for the after photos .\nahmed travels to poshteh to find mohammed . a classmate only knows the approximate area mohammed lives in . he finds mohammed\u2019s cousin , who provides only basic details . arriving in the khanevar district , no - one knows where mohammed\u2019s house is . learning that mohammed and his father have traveled to koker , he follows but discovers it\u2019s a different mohammed altogether . aided by a slow , old man , ahmed finally returns home after dark , upset . at school the next day , mohammed expects to be expelled but as the teacher begins to mark his pupils\u2019 work , ahmed arrives in time with mohammed\u2019s notebook , in which ahmed has done his homework for him . mohammed finally wins the teacher\u2019s approval .\njustin martin , left , and kristina gosselin are charged with burglary of a seames drive home .

what then ? grandfather : i ' d find an excuse and give him a beating every other week . so he wouldn ' t forget . see more \u00bb\nmost viewers will note the friendship between ahmed and mohammed , and the sacrifices and effort made by ahmed to protect his friend . it\u2019s an incredibly natural and remarkable relationship the two boys show , first seen to devastating effect when mohammed weeps when the potential consequences of losing his notebook are made apparent . kiarostami constantly cuts between mohammed and ahmed , looking on with great empathy . babek ahmed poor ( who only seemed to appear again in film as himself in \u2018through the olive trees\u2019 ) , a non - professional , conjures up a stunning performance , but this is the boy at his most affecting . even before he discovers the notebook , ahmed is shown tending to his friend when he injures himself in the playground , cleaning his bleeding knee . at the moment when ahmed discovers the notebook , the look on his face reveals the entire story . there\u2019s no need for words . it\u2019s a scene set solely in silence .\nvictorious cast - all i want is everything ( video ) ft . victoria justice\nessentially the only thing conventional about the work , which uses non professionals and doesn ' t exactly have a script , is the persistence and resilience of the boy . and even that is shown in out of the ordinary ways that do treat him with uncommon respect but neither judge nor aggrandize him . this is a very humanistic work that gives you the child ' s perspective , but maintains enough distance that we never feel he ' s larger than life , that he is the world rather than a very small part of it . the barren landscape is ever present and there aren ' t many other characters or much dialogue , yet this slow moving quasi documentary\nreal time\nfilm manages to sustain our interest throughout largely because we are discovering the world along with the boy . it ' s a day in iranian life through the eyes of a child , showing how separated they are from the adults , among many other things .\nit ' s really growing , particularly in the eastern states , but there ' s a lot of room in sa for more hosts ,\nshe said .\nwhile the above guidelines will be helpful , it is important to recognize that helping a grieving friend will not be an easy task . you may have to give more concern , time and love that you ever knew you had . but this effort will be more than worth it . by ' walking with ' your friend in grief , you are giving one of life ' s most precious gifts - - yourself .\nthis launched kiarostami onto the world stage , heralded the arrival of iranian neo - realism , and set the prototype for iranian\nkid quest\nmovies . nominally the story of a young boy who must return his friend ' s notebook he took by mistake , lest his friend be punished by expulsion from school . on one level this reveals a society rooted in authoritarian demands , but on another this reminds us how kids can be easily damaged by the responsibilities of the grown - up world . this deceptively simple gem has the rigour and haunting resonance of kiarostami\u2019s best work .\nwilmington is a town of about 500 people , known in the region for its annual night rodeo and proximity to the picturesque alligator gorge .\n1 . using a computer with a high speed internet connection , please download the full setup of legacysetup . exe and save it to a jump drive , memory stick or burn it to a cd .

paced and complementary to the other subtle ( and not so subtle ) changes the film makes to the book ' s worldscape .\n2 . \u201cstardust\u201d ( 2007 ) based on a book by neil gaiman , \u201cstardust\u201d is a light -

tolkien english fantasy at a novelistic and prose level , the film doesn ' t even try to do the same . it would be a foolish attempt , after all , to try to mimick and subvert a style that lives so entirely in the pre - cinematic world . instead , the stardust film sets its sights on subverting and celebrating the three - act hollywood blockbuster .\n\u201cstardust , \u201d directed by brit filmmaker matthew vaughn , has been steadily climbing up the international chart in recent weeks . for the nov . 2 -

fi epic \u201cjohn carter\u201d will probably go down in history as one of the worst film flops ever , it isn\u2019t a bad film . it\u2019s not my favorite science fiction film ever made , but it\u2019s a fun , rousing adventure that did not deserve to perform as badly at the box office as it did . sometimes a film can be killed by poor marketing ( disney didn\u2019t seem to be able to promote \u201cjohn carter\u201d effectively ) or unfortunate timing ( \u201cjohn carter\u201d was , perhaps , released too close to \u201cthe hunger games , \u201d and it got lost in all the buzz surrounding that film ) .\nmtv : michelle pfeiffer , who ' s now the wicked witch in\nstardust ,\nwas originally going to be the other mother in\ncoraline\n. . .\nthe hollywood pecking order has a way of constantly reminding who fits where , but for now cox is more than happy with what\nstardust\nhas done for him .\nneil gaiman ' s tales of the mythic and eerie have long intrigued studios . now , with ' stardust ' and ' beowulf , ' they actually reach the screen .\nanyone who has read both the book and seen the movie will know that the stardust film , co -

meaning in her powers , pfeiffer\u2019s villainess in stardust , lamia , gives the film its bite and spark . ( the filmmakers actually expanded her role from that which is found in the novel once pfeiffer signed on . ) lamia is a cruel and wholly vain creature who would happily cut the heart right out of danes\u2019 beautiful yvaine in order to stay young and beautiful \u2014 and to pfeiffer\u2019s credit , her charm and beauty is part of what makes lamia so undeniably watchable . ( interestingly , another one of pfeiffer\u2019s eastwick sisters , susan sarandon , also returned to evil sorcery in 2007 \u2014 in the amy adams film enchanted , playing queen narissa . this only leaves cher , the last remaining witch of eastwick , to cast another magic spell . )\ni really enjoyed this film . kept me guessing all the way through and is now in my top ten favourite films of all time\nfalse soulmate : tristan wholeheartedly believes he and victoria are meant for each other . he learns better over the course of the film .\nbut as a matthew vaughn film which felt like a basic parody movie , i just can\u2019t give it the love that others do .\nso as we head into the final month of the summer of 2007 , the summer has been on a pretty solid run after a hot june and pretty hot july coming off a tepid spring . but as we head into this month , we might see things start to slow down with the summer coming to an end and school beginning . however , august 2007 managed to finish on a pretty good note as there were a few films that had success as opposed to the previous year where only one film broke out . the first film from this month that is included in this category is the action film the bourne ultimatum , the third installment in the bourne series where jason bourne seeks to learn more about his past while avoiding a fellow assassination group who are trying to kill him . coming out at the beginning of the month and carried by fantastic reviews from critics , ultimatum would end up outgrossing the previous two bourne films and would have a great run throughout the month while finishing at the top of the month by a significant margin . the next film on the list that makes it into this category is the teen comedy film superbad , a film which sees three friends try to get with the girls they like while trying to make their way to the girls\u2019 party . the raunchy film also received favorable reviews from critics and was a sleeper hit throughout the month of august and into september which made it one of the more successful comedies released this year . the third and final film released this month that makes it into this category is the remake of the classic horror film halloween , which sees the origins of michael myers and his path to becoming a serial killer . the re - imaging of the franchise directed by rock icon rob zombie was not well received by critics , but it would have a good run as it would set a record for a labor day weekend release that still stands to this day and is also the highest grossing film in the halloween series . while this month didn\u2019t have as many winners as last year did ( 6 last year compared to 3 this year ) , there was a lot more balance amongst the top 3 films in terms of money made as opposed to last year which was similar to how july 2007 performed compared to july 2006 .\nparamount put up half the $ 75 million production budget for \u201cstardust\u201d ; marv films , ingenious films and the melrose fund paid the rest . movie was produced by lorenzo di bonaventura .\nnot only are the actors and characters fun , the setting is beautiful . the kingdom of stormhold feels otherworldly and different from the other side of the wall . i also love the soundtrack for this movie . stardust feels epic . the music is used very effectively , helping the film come alive in a wonderful way .\nthe film has an all star cast that includes charlie cox , claire danes , robert de niro , michelle pfeiffer , and mark strong .\nthis film caught me by surprise . i didnt expect to like it . instead i ended up loving it tremendously . its a classic !\nthe daredevil star has plenty of fans from his marvel work\u2014but it\u2019s a smaller , weirder fantasy film that inspires the real die -

enough personality , but it won ' t set the world on fire .\nlorenzo di bonaventura , the former production chief for warner bros . and a producer of stardust , says he tried for a decade to make various gaiman tales into films but hadn ' t succeeded until now .\nfor three years in the 70s , bowie could do no wrong . he redefined the concept of the rock star , and made a host of milestone albums . cr tracks down the people with the stardust memories\nas it slowly comes to life , stardust the vacuum cleaner becomes fond of repeating the word\npeace\nover and over again . the father goes to jail rather than have his work used for war .\nlike many adaptations , the film changes quite a bit of the story . it doesn\u2019t have the issue that is often the case , where there is far too much crammed into the book to possibly convey in a conventional length feature film . instead , the film opts to take the easier way out with some of the more strange and dark aspects of the original story , and at other times tries to add colour and excitement for bit roles with big name actors .\namon packard has some major issues with the state of contemporary filmmaking . he is that rarest of creatures in today\u2019s independent film scene , a talented and hard - working filmmaker with a solid understanding and knowledge of world cinema history . packard\u2019s is a brand of film critic - turned - maker which , like that in france 45 years ago , is borne of the los angeles cinematheque , a childhood in front of the glowing tv\u2013\u2013the film - buff as student of history .\nstardust is a surprisingly complex story for a fairy tale adventure film that was also marketing as a family - friendly movie . the heart of the story comes in the quest of young tristan thorn ( charlie cox ) , who ventures out of his small town of wall into the magical kingdom of stormhold that lies just next door , on the otherside of a wall .\nlegendary british film editor anne v . coates has passed away aged 92 , with the british academy of film & television arts breaking the sad news on twitter : we ' re so sad to learn that british film editor anne v . coates has died . during her incredible career , anne was bafta - nominated four times for work including the elephant man and erin brockovich , and received the bafta fellowship in 2007 . she will be greatly missed . urltoken \u2014 bafta ( @ bafta ) may 9 , 2018 coates began her career in the 1950s , and received an academy award for her work on david lean \u2019s 1962 classic lawrence of arabia , which included one of the most famous edits in film history \u2013 a shot of peter o\u2019toole blowing out a match which quickly transitions to a majestic desert sunrise . coates would receive further oscar nominations for becket ( 1963 ) , the elephant man ( 1980 ) , in the line of fire ( 1993 ) and out of sight ( 1998 ) , while\nso as i just mentioned , while there were more winners last august as opposed to this august it was clear that the top 3 films released this month were far more balanced in terms of the money they made and there were a few more big winners as opposed to last year . however unlike last august where he had no losers of the months , this year we do have two films that had to be included in this category . the first film released this month that is included in this category is the fantasy adventure film stardust , based on the novel of the same name which sees a young man try to save a young woman from witches while having to deliver a star to his lover . despite having some pretty solid reviews from critics , the mainstream audience was not as impressed as it was buried amongst some of the other films released this month and ended up being a flop though not as big as some of the other flops released this year . the second and last film released this month that makes it into this category is the sci - fi horror film the invasion , a remake of the classic novel the body snatchers and the film invasion of the body snatchers . unlike stardust which was actually received well by critics , this film was panned pretty bad by critics and after being released a year later than it was originally planned , the film would also bomb as it couldn\u2019t even crack the top 10 of the month which is saying something considering what was ahead of it in the first few spots .\nvictoria is a stuck up snob , with a not much better boyfriend even before tristan sets out , and tristan now having grown a bit sees his crush as shallow and abandons her once the stardust is delivered .\nbut in the meantime there is something gaiman fans can do to while away the weeks until the new adaptations , with radio 4 also announcing a competition to find designs for official stardust artwork to accompany the drama .\n\u201cstardust\u201d is paramount pictures\u2019 bid to enter the \u201clord of the rings\u201d - harry potter sweepstakes with a splash . adapted from neil gaiman\u2019s four - book 1997 dc comics mini - series , which later became a novel , it is conceived by matthew vaughn , the director of the seedy british gangster film \u201clayer cake , \u201d as a full - blooded action - adventure fairy tale .\nbowie and pitt had already made an experimental film for \u00a37 , 000 based on an earlier song called love you till tuesday which included footage of the singer crawling around in a silver space suit to the prototype version of space oddity but the film was canned . the re - recorded single wasn\u2019t issued for nine months .\n, there ' s not a single film that has a serious shot at $ 100 million till october . . . maybe november . however , while everyone expects\nneil gaiman : i think the biggest example of that for me is the the flying pirate ship [ in\nstardust\n] . the flying pirate ship existed because i love pirate ships . everybody loves pirate ships .\nwhat is it about moving string lines , french horn and oboe solos , and tinkling piano that signals you \\ ' re entering a different , magical world ? with the use of these sounds , stardust \\ ' s\nprologue ( through the wall )\njoins the company of the time machine ( badelt ) , beauty and the beast ( menken ) , hook ( williams ) , harry potter and the sorcerer \\ ' s stone ( williams ) , and all three lord of the rings films ( shore ) . stardust , by sound here , is most similar to the time machine ; it differs from hook and lord of the rings in tone : hook is often fanfare - ish , and lord of the rings tends to be darker , while stardust is fairly lighthearted . also , both these films use this magical soundscape either to introduce or as part of a complex set of themes , which stardust as a film doesn \\ ' t require . lord of the rings is so thematic that once you are familiar with the score ( s ) , if you listen to a track randomly you can tell what is happening in the movie , or at least what the setting is , based on the theme and tone of the music . stardust \\ ' s story is simpler , not as epic , and doesn \\ ' t lend itself to such an intricate set of themes . but composer ilan eshkeri \\ ' s selection of a few themes for stardust works .\ncharlie cox as the film\u2019s tristan and claire danes as yvaine save the film from what is otherwise childish , shallow stupidity . every moment that it has where it could potentially have something interesting to say about fairy tales or the moral issues at play within the story it prefers showy appearances from well - known actors or tired fantasy clich\u00e9s .\nwhile stardust as a piece of writing is definitely worth your while when read alongside charlie vess\u2019s beautiful illustrations , it loses some of it\u2019s charm read as a novel . the film is disappointingly lacking in depth , though can be fun if you want something fluffy and predictable . this is one adaptation that does not live up to the source material and definitely not one of matthew vaughn\u2019s best films .\nso once again comparing this august to last august , this august actually had more than one film manage to make its way into this category as last august only had one film be included in this category . this was one of the times where i actually thought there were more films released this month that received award nominations , but i was wrong as only three films released this month end up getting included in this category . the first film from this month that earns a spot in this category is the bourne ultimatum which would win all 3 academy awards it was nominated for ( best sound editing , best sound mixing , and best film editing ) , giving it the second highest number of academy awards won this year . the next film released this month that gets in this category is the comedy daddy day camp , the sequel to daddy day care where the dads decide to buy a summer camp . it would be widely panned by critics and had one of the worst ratings of any film released in 2007 , and it would end up winning one golden raspberry award ( worst prequel or sequel ) and was nominated for four more ( worst picture , worst director , worst actor , and worst screenplay ) . the third and last film released this month that gets into this category is the film bratz , based off the popular dolls where four friends try to fit in with the popular cliques in school . much like daddy day camp , this film was also panned by critics and also bombed at the box office , and it would be nominated for five golden raspberry awards ( worst picture , worst actress , worst supporting actor , worst screen couple , and worst remake or rip - off ) though it wouldn\u2019t win any . as mentioned , i thought that there were more films released this month that would be included , but three is still a pretty decent amount for any month of the year .\n\u201ci remember talking to [ director matthew vaughn ] about the movie he wanted to make , and he kept on saying that he\u2019d recently had two young children , and he was tired of watching movies with them that they loved but he hated , \u201d cox , who will play daredevil next in marvel\u2019s the defenders ( out august 18 ) , recalls . \u201cthe way that he described it was , \u2018i want to make a kids\u2019 film for adults [ and ] an adult film for kids\u2019\u2014and i think that\u2019s one of the things he achieved really well with stardust . \u201d\nthe moon is always full : the film takes place over the course of a week , and yet the moon is full in every nighttime scene from beginning to end .\nneil gaiman ' s fiction doesn ' t always translate well to the big screen , but this film managed to capture the lighthearted tone and feel for parody really well .\nthe film also adds in an entire sequence around de niro ' s captain shakespeare that is barely present in the book . for me , this is actually an important decision . brushing past the potentially reductive depiction of shakespeare ' s marginalized identity , for me , this is where the film makes one of its smartest decisions : the montage .\nand so , it\u2019s with great pleasure that i report to you the joy of stardust , a film wholly cradling fantasy tropes while also skewing them just enough to avoid being overtly repetitive . based on the novel by modern fantasy icon neil gaiman , writer of neverwhere and good omens , the film has received comparisons to the princess bride , but i would argue that stardust has more emotional possibilities than that film\u2026 otherwise , the tonal comparison is sound . the film begins long ago in england , in a small , simple country village . our hero tristran ( charlie cox ) crosses a wall that , according to legend , marks the border between this world and another world . he does this to find a fallen star for the uninterested , cruel flirt - of - a - girl he believes to be his true love , victoria ( sienna miller ) . she\u2019s made a deal with tristran : if he brings her the fallen star by her birthday , she will marry him . traveling into the kingdom of wonderment , stormhold , tristran finds that the fallen star is a physical being , yvaine ( claire danes ) , a beautiful woman garbed in silver dress ."]}

' swades ' is one of the finest movies i ' ve seen . yes , it is a bit lengthy , the narrative is slow paced and the editing could have been better , but that doesnt take anything away from the overall gr8ness of the film . the director needs to be applauded for having the courage to go ahead and make a socially responsible film on such a budget , nd make a film true to its spirit , without succumbing to commercial pressures . to call it a ' giant moral science lesson ' is simply undermining its value as a film . it tells a story with utmost sincerity . can the writer xplain how gowariker could have conveyed such an important message , without ' preaching ' . . ridiculous . the movie is a wonderful amalgam of social relevance and artistic sensibilities . it has a beautiful literary resonance , which speaks both literally and metaphorically about a man ' s journey towards his homeland , the abode of the inner peace and harmony he seeks . the movie exudes beauty in many subtle ways . just for the record , mahesh aney ' s ' unimpressive cinematography ' won him a national award .\nswades is a great work by ashutosh . great performance by shahrukh till date . a meaningful cinema .\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\nsupport me on patreon : urltoken for educational purpose only . join me in analysing ashutosh gowarikar ' s swades and see how mohan bhargava ' s journey back to india leads to self - discovery , moulding him into a servant - leader . movie detail : director : ashutosh gowarikar screenplay : ashutosh gowariker , sameer sharma , lalit marathe , amin hajee , charlotte whitby - coles , yashodeep nigudkar , ayan mukherjee cinematographer : mahesh aney editor : ballu saluja cast : shah rukh khan , gayatri joshi , kishori balal script consultant for the video : alka hingorani and girish dalvi servant leadership : urltoken . . . servant - leader characteristics : urltoken . . . follow me here : facebook : urltoken twitter : urltoken instagram : urltoken help us caption and translate this video ! thank you ! and subscribe for more videos .\nencyclo . co . uk , online since 2007 , is a search engine for english meanings and definitions . the website aims to publish all wordlists , big and small , on the internet , making it much easier to find the word you need . follow us on facebook\nthe most controversial movie on this list . it takes inspiration from several erstwhile classic movies like pulp fiction and rashomon . however , it is a wonderful cinematic experience as the movie gets confusing with every scene folding on itself . an arrogant brash local goon is the focal point of the story as an unreliable reporter narrates us every incident which happens at its own leisurely pace . ambiguous climax , unresolved dilemmas is not frustrating for it is the journey that matters .\nadapted from a kannada novel , the \u2018original\u2019 on which swades was based upon . a student living in mumbai and just passed from a delhi college decides to visit his family village in rural , lush green karnataka . small cultural shock besides , he blends in with the folks and enjoys his time . hard reality strikes with petty politics . the climax is shot to please the audience , deviating from the tough - to - swallow ending of the novel . a reminiscent trip for the urban migrants .\neveryone knows how ex - pm rajiv gandhi was assassinated . this movie is from the view point of the perpetrators of the crime . not ltte top brass , but the pawns in the struggle . coming to live in the house of ltte sympathisers in bangalore to the point where they end up being killed by police or committing suicide by swallowing the trademark cyanide pill . a rough depiction of reality with raw , natural acting helped this movie make this list .\nhow best to describe this movie ? a forest guard whose wife has eloped with a city stud . he finds solace in moral policing until he meets a girl involved in an accident under the influence of alcohol . the movie asks philosophical questions about life , marriage , society , feminism , corruption , adultery and moral beliefs . it is easy to lose track with varied themes , but the movie addresses the most of the topics well . all this from a first - time director with a meagre budget of 35 , 000 rupees . a benchmark movie .\na rowdyism movie but with a conscience . riddled with metaphorical dialogues and a fluid plot , director suri grapples with the concept of rowdyism from a \u2018retired\u2019 rowdy and the unholy alliance of politics , real - estate and goons . but the protagonist is a poor man\u2019s chanukya trying to climb the upper echelons of power in a legally correct , morally corrupt way . when you kill a cancer element , another takes its place . savour the movie in all its glory . a movie sure to garner cult in the coming years .\nrecovering from loss is something which only the affected will know . it is a pain unexplained when something or someone dear is snatched from under our very eyes , leaving us helpless to do anything . be it a person or a dream , loss is a strong shot . . .\nralph fiennes is an english actor whose inventive and brilliant acting not only established him as a huge star in england but his sheer determination and grit made him a force to be reckoned with , whose charisma and charm won him american audiences . . .\ncode geass is about lelouch v . britannia who masquerades as zero after gaining a mysterious power in order save elevens and avenge his own father . what starts out as a heroic act soon becomes a drama of self centeredness and hunger for power . code . . .\n\u2018blue exorcist\u2019 is an anime that deals with a spawn of satan , rin okumura . but instead of going mental and causing havoc to the entire world , he decides to become an exorcist to fight against his own kind especially against his biological father . . .\n\u00a9 2018 cinemaholic inc all rights reserved . all images property of their respective owners .\n\u00a9 2018 the cinemaholic . all rights reserved . all images property of their respective owners .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nwhats wrong with secretary kim \uc601\uc900\uc774 \uc7ac\ub2a5\uad50\uc721 \uc2dc\uc791\ud588\ub2c8 ?

states . he keeps worrying about kaveri amma ( kishori ballal ) , a maid at his home in uttar pradesh who looked after him during his childhood days . after his parents\u2019 death , kaveri amma went to live in an old age home in delhi and lost contact with mohan . mohan wishes to go to india and bring kaveri amma back with him to the us . he takes a few weeks off and travels to india . he goes to the old age home but learns that kaveri amma no longer lives there and went to a village named charanpur a few years ago . mohan then decides to travel to charanpur , in uttar pradesh .\nmohan decides to rent a caravan to reach the village fearing that he might not get the required facilities there . upon reaching charanpur , he meets kaveri amma and gets to know that it was gita ( gayatri joshi )

the villagers through education . however , the village is divided largely by caste and religious beliefs . gita does not like mohan\u2019s arrival as she thinks that he will take kaveri amma back with him to the us , leaving her and her younger brother chikku alone . kaveri amma tells mohan that she needs to get gita married first , and that it is her responsibility . gita believes in women empowerment and gender equality . this attracts mohan towards gita and he too tries to help her by campaigning for education among backward communities and also girls .\nslowly love blossoms between mohan and gita . kaveri amma asks mohan to visit a nearby village named kodi , and collect money from a man named haridas who owes it to gita . mohan visits kodi and feels pity seeing haridas ' poor condition , which is such that he is unable to provide his family with meals everyday . haridas tells mohan that since his caste profession of a weaver wasn ' t earning him any money , he shifted to tenant farming . but this change in profession led to his ostracization from the village and the villagers even denied him water for his crops . mohan understands the pathetic situation and realises that many villages in india are still like kodi . he returns to charanpur with a heavy heart and decides to do something for the welfare of charanpur .\nmohan extends his leave by three more weeks . he learns that electricity inconsistency and frequent power cuts are a big problem in charanpur . he decides to set up a small hydroelectric power generation facility from a nearby water source .

.\nhowever , mohan is repeatedly called by nasa officials as the nasa project he was working on is reaching important stages and he has to return to the us soon . kaveri amma tells him that she prefers to stay in charanpur as it will be difficult for her to adapt to a new country at her age . gita also tells him that she will not settle down in another country and she would prefer it if mohan stayed in india with her . mohan returns to the us with a heavy heart to complete the project . however , in the us , he has flashbacks of his time in india and wishes to return . after the successful completion of his project , he leaves the us and returns to india with intentions of working at the vikram sarabhai space center , from where he can also work with nasa . the movie ends

checking these old films , it ' s hard not to see that coming . there ' s a plethora of up - and - coming films ( some dead , some still in development purgatory ) that have name - checked goonies , including the view -

ending rumors that the goonies and gremlins will both see revivals . ( if i were betting money based on columbus\u2019s body language , i would bet we see a gremlins movie before we ever , or never , see another goonies adventure . )\nthe goonies are a group of friends living in a village , the groups leader mikey walsh , his older brother brand and gang members andy , data , stef , mouth , and chunk are being evicted from their homes which are to be demolished . setting out to find a way of saving their homes , the goonies find a treasure map and they set off in search for the treasure of the legendary pirate one - eyed willy which is located beneath a abandoned restaurant . joined by a deformed gentle giant named sloth , the goonies embark on a great adventure through a underground maze filled with traps and skeletons , where they are pursued by sloth ' s mother , thief momma fratelli and his brothers jake and francis who are also after one - eyed willy ' s treasure and they willing to get the treasure first .\nbe the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the akas submission guide .\nto get a more naturalistic performance out of astin in the scene in which he tells his fellow goonies about the legend of one - eyed willy , donner had the child actor improvise in an offbeat way . donner simply told astin the story moments before they shot and had the actor tell it back to him as best as he could with cameras rolling .\nso what i am going to attempt to do is make some sense of the plot of the music video of cyndi lauper\u2019s \u201cthe goonies \u2018r\u2019 good enough\u201d \u2013 because there\u2019s such little sense in the world right now , but at least maybe we can try to find some sense in this . we need to do this . the world is counting on us .\nthe next patch of lego dimensions expansion packs are on their way and will arrive on may 9 in north america and may 12 in the uk . the biggest release of the bunch will be a level pack based upon richard donner\u2019s classic 1985 film the goonies . the other two expansions are fun packs , which includes a character and a vehicle , based off harry potter and lego city .\nthree were by konami . one was for the msx . it was a platformer game with some adventure elements . the actual connection to the movie was rather light . mikey ' s fellow goonies are captured instead of traveling with him , and the fratellis are basically individual mooks instead of the family chasing the heroes . then you have rats , bombs , and mikey using a kick attack .\nearlier this week , the makers of the still very far - off monopoly movie ( based on the board game of the same name ) made the tired comparison . in an interview with collider , producer randall emmett was prompted with the idea that the movie was similar to the goonies and he replied ,\nthat ' s a perfect analogy to what monopoly will hopefully be . there is a treasure map\u2026 it ' s a family adventure film .\nthe question is , do we really need a sequel to this beloved \u201880s movie ? some stories are just best left alone , especially when they stand the test of time . the goonies is one of those truly magical films that appeals to children today just as it appealed to their parents when they were children . in an era of remakes and reboots , the goonies remains an untouchable classic that should be appreciated as is , especially considering it\u2019s a film with a heartwarming story within a heartwarming story , as donner revealed to us .\n\u201cplayers can use sloth\u2019s super strength to smash through walls or play as chunk and use his infamous truffle shuffle . the rebuildable one - eyed willy\u2019s pirate ship will sail on water and can also be built into the fanged fortune and the inferno cannon ; while the rebuildable skeleton organ has sonar smash abilities and can also be built into the skeleton jukebox and skele - turkey for added game play capabilities . sloth provides access to a new the goonies battle arena , and also the adventure world where players can explore mikey\u2019s house , inferno cove and the goon docks . once the level is complete , players will be able to replay through the game and other levels as any of the seven other goonies characters to solve additional puzzles and access more collectibles in their journey through the lego multiverse . \u201d\nquan starred in\nindiana jones\nbefore\ngoonies\nand after the hit movie , he was featured in a couple of series , including\nhead of the class ,\nthen the indie movie\nencino man .\nafter the early 1990 ' s , he also stopped acting and his last known credit is in 2002 .\nbe the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the release dates submission guide .\nthe overwhelming majority of goonies fans are \u201clovely , friendly , warm people , \u201d he said . \u201cbut there are a few who are really abusive , and several have refused to leave the property when asked to . they\u2019ve offered to fight the homeowner . and those kinds of things are the things that make it really impossible for them . \u201d\nthe pirate ship that looms large in the goonies is called the inferno . as big as a real seaworthy vessel , it was modeled after the ship in the classic errol flynn swashbuckler the sea hawk . the inferno was more than 100 feet long , with sails made up of more than 7 , 000 square feet of fabric . some of the riggings were recycled from disneyland ' s pirates of the caribbean ride , which was being remodeled at the time the goonies was in production . it took two - and - a - half months to construct the inferno , so the hype about what it would look like was a feverish discussion topic on set . director richard donner made sure that none of the main cast saw the ship until the exact moment their characters did\u2014he wanted the reactions of excitement and awe he filmed to be genuine . josh brolin ( brand ) was indeed impressed\u2014when he saw the inferno for the first time , he broke character and said ,\nholy s\u2014 !\nthe take was ruined , and another not - quite - authentic reaction shot was filmed .\nthanks to the av club for bringing this to our attention . considering all the love for pinball there was in the 80s , not to mention the fact that plenty of unworthy movies have been given their own pinball machines , it\u2019s odd that there was never an official pinball machine made to honor the goonies . even tron legacy got a new pinball machine a few years ago .\nother fans waiting outside the armory thursday showed off their character costumes , including milo sidlo , who was dressed up as the character data carrying a jar with the message : \u201csave the goon docks . \u201d kevin kelley , who runs a theater in orlando , fla . , showed off \u201cthe goonies\u201d movie cover , which was tattooed on his forearm and printed on his custom converse sneakers ."]}

i didn\u2019t expect to make progress very quickly as i struggled to pick up languages in secondary school . the alternating between translating from english - german , german - english , listening and typing what you hear , choosing from multiple choice options etc . seems to be a very effective way to really help the information to sink in . differences between masculine and feminine ( der / die / das / den ) are difficult and sometimes involve a bit of memorisation but the structure of learning duolingo uses has resulted in me beginning to understand how and why words are used as well as memorising . as long as you frequently revise sections / practice , duolingo is a shockingly easy way to learn a new language !\n2 . academics \u2013 i am studying for gmat and i want to get a 750 + score but without 10 , 000 hours of study which most students do . how can i use your principles and apply them to studies . is there a way to score high but with minimum effort ( i am asking for the holy grail here ) ?\nbut there is great stuff out there . a wonderful and completely free course that keeps getting better is duolingo \u2013 which i highly recommend for its selection of european languages currently on offer , with more on the way . to really get you started on the many options available to help you learn your language without spending a penny , let me offer plenty of other ( good ) alternatives :\nthat way you learn the vocabulary you need , get to practice in a natural environment and get to play around . having fun should be a more popular goal while learning . another thing is that face - to - face will beat online lessons and resources every time in my opinion . you simply can\u2019t replace the experience of having a human being to interact with right in front of you .\nwhile we all might learn our first language regardless of what it is pretty much the same way and , unless there is a special problem , succeed in getting the basics in a couple of years after hearing thousands of hours ; learning a second language does not always follow the same path or have the same ease . thus , it can well be that rs is good for certain mixes of some languages and some people . let me give two short examples to explain .\nregistered mail is good for sending anything quite valuable . if you ' re simply interested in knowing for sure that what you send is actually delivered , there are cheaper ways of doing that .\ncertified\nmail will accomplish that goal . but the cheapest way is to request a\nreturn receipt .\njust ask the postal clerk to send your item\nreturn receipt requested .\nonce the item is delivered , you will receive a receipt signed by the recipient .\nthe surest way to make sure you reach your retirement goals is make your savings increases happen automatically . in many plans , you can simply choose an auto - escalation feature , and it all gets done for you . by making this feature more widely available , or setting it as a default , employers can help mint more 401 ( k ) millionaires .\ni purchased chinese ( mandarin ) one year prior to my travel to china . i found that this is / was a very difficult way to learn mandarin . this site is right on time regarding the difficulty and expense of rosetta stone . had i read this review prior to my purchase , i would have had $ 500 more to spend in china .\n$ 500 + is the listed\nretail price\nbut no one pays it , at least not now . i just got an offer for all of levels 1 - 5 for $ 189 . if it is a useful tool to help learning a language , less than $ 200 seems pretty reasonable where as $ 500 or more seems way too pricey .\ni have a simple question , i hope you can help me . i need to improve my vocabulary in english , i understand many words and also conversations but im really short in my own speaking because of my short vocabulary . im a visual man , so the best way to learnd for my is by watching , rosetta stone is good in that area .\na head table full of your wedding party ( and their dates if you\u2019ve got the room ! ) is a great way to acknowledge their special role , as well as surround yourselves with your bffs during dinner . opting for a sweetheart table ? have your wedding party host tables , instead . seat them with their dates and a group of other mutual friends . they should be seated at the third - best tables in the room \u2014 the first is your sweetheart table , the second - best tables are for your parents and the third is your wedding party . near the dance floor , natch !\ni used to have that exact same antenna . it ' s actually pretty decent , but it ' s definitely an outdoor antenna . there are better indoor options available . cheapest and easiest solution would be to put it outdoors and run a line in . when i bought my house , they had coaxial going to each room already and a forgotten digital satellite dish on the roof . i removed the dish and used the dish mast that was already there to mount an outdoor antenna . reception is great except for one iffy pbs station , but i don ' t worry about it too much because it is notoriously low - watt / power . very few people actually get it ota so i ' m kind of in the minority that it works at all . assuming you don ' t own your own house or have an apartment , the next cheapest and easiest solution would be to get a leaf - like antenna like this one : urltoken and then through trial and error , position it on the wall or window and scan for channels . if you ' re not getting the results , reposition , scan , and repeat . seriously , indoor reception can take some time and sometimes moving the antenna just a few inches can make a huge difference . before i put an outdoor antenna , i tried all over the living room wall , and all over the neighboring room before i found a spot where i got the best reception without drops . it ' s possible , it just takes time and effort .\nthe show about our founding fathers reawakened the united states to its own beginnings .\ni have to say i completely disagree with your contention that it is a good thing to completely exclude explicit grammar instruction . it may be true that it is possible to learn grammar inductively , but sla research indicates that it takes children years to master the grammar of their language . even if an adult had that much time , adult brains do not function in the same way as those of children .\nlaura , a young woman from an impoverished desiring to be an actress , finds achieving success to be more of a struggle than she anticipated . she meets the wealthy willard brockton , and seduced by his gifts , realizes she will no longer have to financially struggle if she takes\nthe easiest way\nand become his mistress . while living the high - life of luxury , she meets and falls in love with writer john madison , who forgives her past transgressions as she was so desperate to escape poverty . madison has to leave her to make his fortune to get enough money so they can marry , and while they are separated , laura falls back on hard times . she returns to her wealthy benefactor , brockton , and becomes his mistress . when a wealthy madison returns two months later , he finds out what she has done and rejects her . brockton also abandons her , repulsed by her greed . laura must now find another man to support her or commit suicide .\ni was trying to raise my intonation before pauses , which is a feature of french that occurs much more frequently than in english , but i was overdoing it and applying it to the ends of sentences as well . this made my sentences sound incomplete , and when my teacher trained me to stop doing this , i was told that i sounded way more french .\nstudents attending the school at the time of the accreditation loss face the school closing rather abruptly . this is due to the fact that the federal government does not usually provide financial aid to unaccredited post secondary institutions . the vast majority of these schools are heavily dependent on financial aid and the immediate withdrawal of all government funds guarantees that the school will quickly go bankrupt .\nthe most indulged of all the spoiled lovelies of hollywood during the golden age were the canine actors who worked in films . they had their own hotel\u2014 the hollywood dog training school \u2014where at one time , seventy - five of the best known dogs of the screen lived in tranquil comfort .\nthe very friendly ( also way cooler than me but it & apos ; s fine ! ) staff told me that the essential oil they burn in their muji diffusers is from aesop , just like their soaps and shampoos , which are still hiding in my medicine cabinet for a rainy day . i procured the diffuser and the oil ( maybe the same price per weight as high - end truffle oil ) and now , reader , my apartment smells much more like a fancy hotel room and much less like the anchovy pasta i cooked for dinner last night . bonus points for the fact that , unlike most essential oil diffusers , the muji model is not ugly .\nbut neither of those older generations began saving as early as millennials . transamerica center for retirement studies found that 71 % of millennials eligible for a 401 ( k ) plan participate and that 70 % of millennials began saving at an average age of 22 . by way of comparison , boomers started saving at an average age of 35 .\n3 . try the lottery entry shortcut \u2013 so you don\u2019t forget to enter for ultimate convenience in entering the digital lottery only , download the ham lottery app available from the itunes store . the app , created by lukas thoms , notifies the user when the lottery opens , auto - fills the user\u2019s information and sends a notification when the lottery is closed . it can also be used to enter the lottery for the chicago sit - down production of hamilton .\nwa production have some of the best samples and sounds in the world . the programing and kits are top notch and sound like tracks which are on the beatport charts . i also love the diversity in the samples and styles they have .\nthere\u2019s a very simple way to figure out if you\u2019re spending your time well : if you\u2019re enjoying yourself in your target language , then you\u2019re doing it right . in the end , language learning should be fun . it needs to be fun ; you retain information better when you\u2019re enjoying yourself , and the journey to fluency takes too much time to force yourself through using willpower alone . so enjoy yourself , and play around with new ways to think about the world . see you on the other side .\nthis project and all fastlane tools are in no way affiliated with apple inc . this project is open source under the mit license , which means you have full access to the source code and can modify it to fit your own needs . all fastlane tools run on your own computer or server , so your credentials or other sensitive information will never leave your own computer . you are responsible for how you use fastlane tools .\ngreat read !

racing thriller starring nayanthara , harish uttaman , nasser and thambi ramaiah , apart from the two leads . the music for the film was composed by hiphop tamizha . the film has so far received a good reception from critics and the audience as well .\neasily , thani oruvan is one of the best films from \u2018jayam\u2019 brothers . right from the word go , the film\u2019s crisp narrative seldom loosens its grip . you are on the edge of your seat for virtually the entire film and there are no compromises when it comes to unwanted romance , item numbers or comedy tracks . on the whole , thani oriuvan is a stylish action thriller , a rare genre in tamil cinema .\nconsidering that 25 per cent of his films have been with mani ratnam , a director not exactly known for making \u2018commercial\u2019 films , his decision to play villain in thani oruvan is rather surprising . director m . raja , after all , is at the other end of the spectrum .\nthough many filmmakers have embraced digital cameras , ramji , the cinematographer of thani oruvan , is not ecstatic about abandoning the analog form of filmmaking . in an article published in cinema vikatan , a tamil magazine , it is said that the cinematographer has expressed his distress over the changing scene .\nduring thani oruvan success meet , both jayam ravi and mohan raja could not control their tears due to humongous positive response the movie was able to garner from everywhere . here are some background insights on what director raja and jayam ravi had to go through prior to movie ' s release .\nthe most important reason for his agreeing to play the role of siddharth abhimanyu in thani oruvan is the freedom he gets out of playing a villain ; a liberty heroes don\u2019t quite have , on account of having to remain consistently noble and consequently predictable . it also helped that the film , unlike many others , isn\u2019t apologetic for its villain . \u201ci see so many films with backstories for the bad guy to show why he became evil . thani oruvan doesn\u2019t do that . \u201d raja , in fact , confessed to him that siddharth was his favourite character in the film . arvind has tried to portray him as a likeable bad guy . like \u2018assault\u2019 sethu in jigarthanda , i offer . \u201ci didn\u2019t think sethu was really a villain in the film . you didn\u2019t quite come out convinced he was evil . but in thani oruvan , you\u2019ll have no such doubts about siddharth . \u201d\nsummary : though thani oruvan is more of a script - centered soundtrack with little scope for experimentation , the composer makes this worth a listen with a couple of interesting tracks which will hit the marquee easily . hip hop tamizha ' s musical quality is slowly picking its pace with every album .\nswamy is playing a negative and powerful role in director m raja ' s tentatively titled thani oruvan , being produced ags entertainment . the film has jayam ravi and nayanthara in the lead . the new schedule of the film touted as a romantic - action entertainer is starting from july 30 in pudhuchery .\na key to thani oruvan\u2019s appeal is that it is a statement of style . aravind swamy as the villain is menacing and unlike your usual antagonists , even respectable . he has hubris without blindness , and he gets a certain pleasure out of his job , making his \u2018villainy\u2019 that much more disconcerting .\nwith \u2018thani oruvan\u2019 raja has not only changed his name to mohan raja but has made a completely new and refreshing thriller which is on par with any international films of its genre . probably he was dishing out remakes till now as preparation for delivering one of the best films in the past decade .\njayam ravi starrer thani oruvan gets a hindi remake , and the buzz in the industry is that it will be directed by sabbir khan . the two lead roles are likely to be portrayed by actors arjun kapoor and sidharth malhotra . official word on the same is , however , not out yet .\ntechnological advancements have made film a thing of the past . digital camera rules the industry these days . it seems that thani oruvan might be the last movie in the tamil industry shot on film . the thriller has turned out to be a blockbuster , and the editing and cinematography play major roles in its success .\nthe scenes are clearly there in the writing , and raja\u2019s script is the foundation on which the movie rests . the foundations are deep and sturdy , and the director has ensured that he has commanded his troops with meaning and precision . the end result is thani oruvan - a thriller that hardly misses a note .\nthe remake proved ram charan need not have to always rely on commercial potboilers to please his fan base and can also be part of slightly unconventional films that entertain as well tickle the intellect of viewers . if the industry grapevine is anything to go by , thani oruvan is all set to be remade in hindi .\nthe great reception and appreciation that 2015 blockbuster , thani oruvan received is an extremely important event of the previous year . this was immediately followed by big stars coming forward to remake the film in other languages . salman khan was the man who was touted to reprise jayam ravi\u2019s promising cop role , mithran in hindi .\nwe hear that the jayam ravi - arvind swami - starrer thani oruvan , directed by mohan raja , is going to be remade in five indian languages . while there have been reports of hindi and telugu remakes , mohan raja says that talks are also on for kannada , marathi and bengali versions . ' after drishyam ,\nafter surprising the fans with thani oruvan , mohan raja is all set to direct his next film . this time the director has roped in sivakarthikeyan for the yet - to - be - titled film . the film will be produced by 24am studios , and will mark the second film of sivakarthikeyan with the production house .\nyuvan was the first choice to compose music for the movie . yuvan was paid the advance to compose the music of thani oruvan . but yuvan was not in mood to deliver the songs and caused indefinite delays . the director had to reluctantly switch to hiphop thamizha knowing very well the loss in market value of the movie .\nwatch kadhal cricket making video from thani oruvan . kharesma ravichandran sings this peppy song about how love is like a game of cricket in hiphop tamizha\u2019s music & lyrics . song name -

mohan raja\u2019s thani oruvan ( originally starring jayam ravi ) and kaththi , the tamil film directed by ar murugadoss that entered the ` 100 crore club the fastest . khan\u2019s team has shown a keen interest in thani oruvan . it is believed that salman himself is impressed with the project and is keen on remaking the film . ram charan will be seen in the telugu remake of the same film . he also recommended salman\u2019s name to the director . however , the only hindrance seems to be the director\u2019s interest in making the hindi version as well . the other film kaththi revolves around farmers committing suicide . according to close sources , this issue has deeply troubled the actor .\nit is not ranveer singh and arjun kapoor , neither is it varun dhawan and sidharth malhotra \u2013 but it is arjun and sidharth who might be teaming up for the hindi remake of the hit tamil film thani oruvan ( one lone man ) . buzz in the industry is that the two young actors will be seen sharing screen space for this remake which is expected to be directed by sabbir khan . while one plays the protagonist , the other will play the antagonist and it will be interesting to see who will get to play what .\na big flaw of indian cinema is its tendency to stretch the script to a point where even suspension of disbelief becomes difficult . there are several such situations in thani oruvan which , however , gets glossed over by the life - and - death games which mithran and siddharth play , and till about the very end , the bad guy - - hiding behind a veneer of sophistication - - seems to get all his moves right . but then , india cinema has to follow the age -

detection mechanism ; actually , as far as i can tell , most of the error - detection methods are more or less pathetic compared to the cyclic redundancy check ( crc ) , which has clearly emerged as the dominant approach\u2014some big names in digital communication ( including can , usb , and ethernet ) use a crc as part of their data -

- the xorout values required for a particular length was always the same .\nthe bit operations change slightly : moving the input byte into the msb of crc requires now a shift by 24 . also the check for the most significant bit uses a different mask of 0x8000000 instead of 0x8000 .\nhigh - speed digital data can be transmitted on voice telephone systems such as autovon . autovon will pass digital data at 4800 b / s and 9600 b / s using the state - of - the - art codex modem at bit error rates of the order of 0 . 0001 to 0 . 00001 . errors on the autovon channel can be modeled by markov chains , and these models can be used for the design of cyclic redundancy check ( crc ) polynomial codes . the performance of three crc codes is calculated , and , within the limits of the data sample size , their performance is demonstrated to be consistent with results obtained from the raw - error - pattern data by simulation .\nwhen you select this check box , the block flips the input data on a bytewise basis prior to entering the data into the shift register . for this application , the input frame length ( and any current input frame length for variable - size signals ) divided by the value for the checksums per frame parameter must be a multiple of eight . when you clear this check box , the block does not flip the input data .\na crc error indicates that some data in your zip file ( . zip or . zipx ) is damaged . crc stands for cyclic redundancy check . it is a calculation made from all the data in a file to insure accuracy . when you add a file to a zip file , winzip calculates a crc value for the file and saves the value in the zip file . when you later extract the file from the zip file , winzip calculates the crc of the extracted file and compares it to the value stored when the file was zipped . if these two crc values do not match , the file that was extracted does not match the original file , and winzip will display a crc error message .\ncan data frames and remote frames contain a safeguard based on a crc polynomial : the transmitter calculates a check sum from the transmitted bits and provides the result within the frame in the crc field . the receivers use the same polynomial to calculate the check sum from the bits as seen on the bus - lines . the self - calculated check sum is compared with the received on . if it matches , the frame is regarded as correctly received and the receiving node transmits a dominant state in the ack slot bit , overwriting the recessive state of the transmitter . in case of a mismatch , the receiving node sends an error frame after the ack delimiter .\na backup storage read / write error has occurred . if the storage is tape based , this is usually caused by dirty read / write heads in the tape drive . clean the tape drive , and then try the job again . if the problem persists , try a different tape . you may also need to check for problems with cables , termination , or other hardware issues . if the storage is disk based , check that the storage subsystem is functioning properly . review any system logs or vendor specific logs associated with the storage to help determine the source of the problem . you may also want to check any vendor specific documentation for troubleshooting recommendations .\nadding special bits or symbols to the coded information , e . g . parity check , casting out 9 ' s or 11 ' s to protect a block of data words , e . g . crc or checksum\n0xe00084c7 -

[ show full abstract ]\nthere are two most common error detection techniques one is parity check and the other is cyclic redundancy check or crc . by this method we can identify that the received packet is correctly received without any error or received incorrectly with error . suppose we need to transmit k bytes , in this case , few of the bytes are appended to k bytes which say make up n bytes , these n bytes are transmitted instead of k bytes and at the receiver crc is calculated and compared with the transmitted crc and hence error detection decision is made at the receiver . there are many ways one can implement this , such as modulo 2 arithmetic operations , polynomial method and digital logic method . in modulo 2 method , modulo 2 sum of k bytes is calculated and appended at last as checksum and at the receiver the same last byte is compared with calculated checksum of received bytes . the most popular crc method used in today ' s wireless technologies are based on polynomial method . there are various crc polynomials as mentioned below such as crc32 , crc16 . they are used in wireless communication systems such as mobile wimax ( ofdma ) and fixed wimax ( ofdm ) implementations and in networking protocol implementations .\nstatus of this memo this memo provides information for the internet community . it does not specify an internet standard of any kind . distribution of this memo is unlimited . copyright notice copyright ( c ) the internet society ( 2002 ) . all rights reserved . abstract in this memo , we attempt to give some estimates for the probability of undetected errors to facilitate the selection of an error detection code for the internet protocol small computer system interface ( iscsi ) . we will also attempt to compare cyclic redundancy checks ( crcs ) with other checksum forms ( e . g . , fletcher , adler , weighted checksums ) , as permitted by available data .\ncheck value [ optional ] : this value is not required but often specified to help to validate the implementation . this is the crc value of input string\n123456789\nor as byte array : [ 0x31 , 0x32 , 0x33 , 0x34 , 0x35 , 0x36 , 0x37 , 0x38 , 0x39 ] .\nverdict : to check files in a zip archive against files on box using the crc in zip , we ' ll need to use a utility that can calculate the\ncrc32b \u201d variant for a file ( php ' s hash _ file ( ) would work , but it will load the whole file into memory ) .\nadvanced design techniques ensure reliable operation under extreme conditions while stripping away complexity and advancing ease - of - use , the gigepack provides three key elements : certified products , free drivers and copy - ready evaluation boards , and microchip\u2019s free lancheck \u00ae design check service . together , they ensure interoperability , rapid development and robust board design .\nin some protocols the packet header changes frequently . if the crc includes the changing part , the crc will have to be recomputed . this raises two issues : - the complete computation is expensive - the packet is not protected against unwanted changes between the last check and the recomputation fortunately , changes in the header do not imply a need for completed crc computation . the reason is the linearity of the crc function . namely , with i1 and i2 denoting two equal - length blocks of information bits , crc ( i ) denoting the crc check bits calculated for i , and + denoting bitwise modulo - 2 addition , we have crc ( i1 + i2 ) = crc ( i1 ) + crc ( i2 ) .\nyou do not need to download or install anything because the check disk utility is included in windows computer . this utility exists for scanning and repairing any errors affecting the drive . there is an alternative for mac computers , known as the disk utility but this error is a lot less common on mac computers , so we are just going to focus on windows machines .\na binary $ ( n , k ) $ cyclic code has $ 2 ^ k $ codewords , they correspond to a binary polynomial $ c ( x ) $ of degree less than $ n $ . a particular code is specified by a generator polynomial $ g ( x ) $ , which must be of degree $ n - k $ and must be a factor of $ x ^ n + 1 $ .\nerror correction goes way back in computing . one of the first things i ran into while understanding the ascii character set was parity . the seven - bit ascii character set in some computers used the 8th bit as a check bit to see if the character had been transmitted correctly . if the character had an odd number of ones in the lower 7 bits , the 8th bit was set to a 1 , otherwise 0 .\ncrcs are essentially systematic cyclic codes , in which the parity length $ n - k $ is relatively small ( typically 16 or 32 ) and $ n $ is large ( say $ n = 2 ^ { 15 } - 1 = 32767 $ ) ; however , one does not usually code the full length block , but a smaller message of arbitrary length , to which the computed parity bits will be appended . as explained here , this is mathematically equivalent to assuming that the unused bits of the total block are zero .\nif you decide to go ahead with the scan and repair you may find out that it does not work . if this is the case , you should try to access the check disk utility by looking for it under your programs and clicking on it ; or access it via the command prompt . in order to do this , you will need to find the command prompt program , usually under accessories . for this to work , however , you will need to have administrator privileges .\nbecause the left side is a multiple of $ g ( x ) $ , that must be one of the codewords of our cyclic code ( equivalent to the previous one ; but , mind you , it ' s not the same : it has the same codewords , but mapped to different input messsages ) . this code has the nice property of being the concatenation of the original raw message $ m ( x ) $ shifted $ n - k $ positions , and the\nparity polynomial\n$ p ( x ) $ ( degree less than $ n - k $ ) .\n] , which seems pretty good . but for a single additional byte , the crc technique is about 460 times less likely to let an error pass undetected . in practice , the difference is much greater because the crc will detect all cases of just a few errors , and these cases are most common . the cost is a 2 - byte crc value in every block . for example , the xmodem protocol sends data in 128 - byte blocks ; these blocks can be crc error - checked with an additional two bytes - - an error - check overhead of about 1 . 5 percent [\nif the problem is caused by an optical disk , such as a dvd or a cd , you should remove the disk and check it for scratches . if the disk does not seem to be scratched , then it is probably dirty , in which case you will need to dust it off . if you have never done this , grab a soft cloth and clean the disk gently but thoroughly ( make sure that the cloth is dry ) . if the disk is scratched , however , it is probably beyond repair , in which case you could just try buying a new one and disposing of the damaged one .\n. . . thereby , the hamming - code implementation can correct multi - bit errors , in particular , all burst errors up to the length of a machine word ( 32 bit in our case ) . besides burst errors , the crc variants ( seetable 2 ) cover all possible 2 - bit and 3 - bit errors in objects smaller than 256 mib by the crc - 32 / 4 code [ 29 ] . all implementations use the wait - free synchronization algorithm from section 4 . additionally , we integrated a check of virtual - function table pointers into the gop , similar to [ 30 ] . . . .\n] extended fujiwara ' s technique for efficiently calculating the minimum distance through the weight distribution of the dual code and explored a large number of crc codes with 24 and 32 redundancy bit . they explored several codes built as a multiplication of several lower degree irreducible polynomials . in the popular class of ( x + 1 ) * deg31 - irreducible - polynomial they explored 47000 polynomials ( not all the possible ones ) . the best they found has d = 6 up to block lengths of 5275 and d = 4 up to 2 ^ 31 - 1 ( bits ) . the investigation was done in 1993 with a special purpose processor . by comparison , the ieee - 802 code has d = 4 up to at least 64 , 000 bits ( fujikura stopped looking at 12 , 144 ) and d = 3 up to 2 ^ 32 - 1 bits .\nwe thought that we might be able to take advantage of these two pre - computed checksums , since we would be able to quickly tell if a file uploaded via zip - uploading was likely identical to an existing file in the same location ( note : it\u2019s not a good idea to rely on crc checks entirely , due to the possibility of collisions ) . we were going to check the crcs of files in the target location against crcs stored in the zip header as the files were extracted . we expected that unix cksum would generate the same kind of crc32 that zip does . however , this was not true - cksum says it generates crcs the way ethernet does in its man page , which is different than zip . the crazy part of this puzzle is that cksum actually generates crc32 checksums that match no crc specification at all , including ethernet\u2019s .\n] measured the weights of all words of all shortened versions of the ieee 802 . 3 code of 32 check bits . this code is generated by a primitive polynomial of degree 32 : g ( x ) = x ^ 32 + x ^ 26 + x ^ 23 + x ^ 22 + x ^ 16 + x ^ 12 + x ^ 11 + x ^ 10 + x ^ 8 + x ^ 7 + x ^ 5 + x ^ 4 + x ^ 2 + x + 1 and hence the designed distance of it is only 3 . this distance holds for codes as long as 2 ^ 32 - 1 . however , the frame format of the mac ( media access control ) of the data link layer in ieee 802 . 3 , as well as that of the data link layer for the ethernet ( 1980 ) forbid lengths exceeding 12 , 144 bits . thus , only such bounded lengths are investigated in [\nthat the sequence of powers of alpha , the root of p ( x ) , which are roots of g ( x ) , includes three consecutive powers - - alpha ^ 0 , alpha ^ 1 , alpha ^ 2 ) . hence , every 3 single bit errors are detectable . wolf found that different shortened versions of a given code , of the same codeword length , perform the same ( independent of which specific indexes are omitted from the original code ) . he also found that for the unshortened codes , all primitive polynomials yield codes of the same performance . but for the shortened versions , the choice of the primitive polynomial does make a difference . wolf [ wolf94j ] found a primitive polynomial which ( when multiplied by x + 1 ) yields a generating polynomial that outperforms the ccitt one by an order of magnitude . for 32 - bit redundancy bits , he found an example of two polynomials that differ in their probability of undetected burst of length 33 by 4 orders of magnitude . it so happens , that for some shortened codes , the minimum distance , or the distribution of the weights , is better than for others derived from different unshortened codes . baicheva , et . al .

marital sex and pregnancy were included . the film was still , as variety noted in its review , fairly cleaned up from the novel . while in cain\u2019s novel veda became a successful opera singer \u2013 and therefore profited from her hideous behaviour \u2013 in curtiz\u2019 film she ends up a low - rent cabaret act . a more significant difference is mildred\u2019s response to finding her eldest daughter veda ( ann blyth ) and mildred\u2019s second husband monte ( zachary scott ) in a compromising position . in cain\u2019s novel mildred is so enraged she attempts to strangle her daughter . such an understandable response is not present in curtiz\u2019 film , though . instead mildred\u2019s suffering sacrifice is played to the hilt . mildred\u2019s one refusal of veda\u2019s demands occurs when veda has shot monte dead . mildred soon reconsiders , however , and is prepared to take responsibility for the crime herself .\ni pity the screenwriter who had to adapt the novel , mildred pierce , from 289 pages down to an hour and 57 minute movie . the main character , mildred pierce , repeatedly steps out of the traditional role for women of that era , and challenges society\u2019s norms about class . significant changes were made to the plot while converting it from book to movie . these changes add up to a significant difference in the meaning .\n[ \u2026 ] talked about transliterations a while back in my review for mildred pierce and i would like to bring it up again . i haven\u2019t read the entirety of the original novel , but , [ \u2026 ]\nto audiences who\u2019ve read or seen the film version of \u201cmommie dearest\u201d \u2014 the story of the very unhappy childhood reportedly inflicted by crawford on her own adopted daughter , christina \u2014 however , the film resonates in a way that it did not when first seen seven decades ago , as \u201cmildred pierce\u201d is the story of a mother so self -

composers when dealing with indians and soon became cliche . he also composed a secondary theme for the sioux ( played by high woodwinds ) that could be utilised quietly and mysteriously as well as screaming over the entire orchestra during the final battle sequence . . . especially when orchestrated for six piccolos , two soprano saxophones and two e flat clarinets ! for custer ' s martial theme , steiner composed it in such a way that he could gently and subtly incorporate it as a secondary accompaniment to libby ' s theme , which musically and dramatically unites these two characters in a single bond .\nit was as i tried to recoup both mentally and on a physical level that i kept recalling the words of the sons of the pioneers song , \u201cempty saddles\u201d and trying somehow to integrate them to the symbolism of the cavalryman\u2019s fiddlers green . we had seen our comrade home and had paid all final and full respects . by way of symbol we had turned his horse out to rest in pasture and placed his saddle upon the corral fence -

commercial arthouse cinema . brilliant .\nfilled with idiosyncratic characters and eccentric scenes , this film is about these characters above all else . in a building where a butcher heads a group of people and invites tenants on his\u2026\nthe past couple of years , tankian focuses on creating musical scores and compositions for films and video game projects . he serves as the executive music consultant for the highly anticipated film \u201cthe promise , \u201d where along with the authentic light orchestra , his modern version of the armenian folk song , \u201csari siroon yar\u201d will be heard for the first time in the film .\ndelicatessen is gorgeously shot and so well imagined with terrific sets , atmosphere and world building , but it ' s a shame that the execution of its admittedly great premise is so weak with unappealing humor , forgettable characters and too much weirdness in its approach .\nthere are no characters to care about or remember afterward - - just a lot of flashy technique involving decor , some glib allegorical flourishes , and the obligatory studied film - school weirdness .\ndelicatessen at the art of the title sequence \u2013 see the excellent opening credit sequence , where the camera pans over a pile of junk on which the names of the crew are written ( the cinematographer\u2019s name appears on a discarded camera , the composer\u2019s name on a broken record ) .\nwhile delicatessen is dark and very adult , you can\u2019t help but feel that it\u2019s a child\u2019s nightmare , and the story is told from that perspective . the characters are broadly drawn , larger than life , and over the top . how the characters look and act play a more important role\u2026\nit ' s still different than film . it ' s not like film , but i take a really special pleasure in shooting with it , mainly because of the format . with 6k and big pixels , it ' s not compressed at all . it ' s very nice and sharp . it ' s got a smoothness at the center . it has a very nice touch in the skin tones . it ' s a new step into a better world of making quality images . when you shoot in the dark , you just push the sensor and it still beautiful . it doesn ' t have any of the low -

modified pet pig from becoming dinner , sees khondji perform some dexterous visual feats , such as a car chase that ends in a crowded underground mall . though khondji is a diehard film enthusiast\u2014prior to okja , he ' d shot only one feature film digitally\u2014netflix asked that khondji relinquish the celluloid . so the cinematographer picked up the only digital camera he will touch : the alexa 65 .\n\u2014 film directors frequently choose to work with the same actor or actress across several projects . such collaborations may span years or even decades . the following list has been alphabetized by the director s last name . a * jim abrahams / lloyd\u2026 \u2026\na sardonic satire on what happens when the dog - eat - dog world becomes a human - eat - human world instead , delicatessen is a film best left to older teens and adults . the movie comes across like a tim burton fantasy aimed squarely at grownups . there ' s a playfulness and whimsy to all the grotesqueries , but it seems geared more to adult attention spans and intellects , as the loose - jointed plot often turns to people doing ( or being ) puzzling things , like a weird old man in the building ' s flooded basement reigning over colonies of frogs and snails , or a last - minute revelation that a motiveless murder plot had been afoot all along amidst two minor characters . there are few easy answers - - and the ending leaves things a bit up in the air , in more ways than one . but the film casts a weird spell that is not soon forgotten .\nvoted one of the ten best films of all time , renoir\u2019s classic is rich in themes , complex in its handling of form . is this a war film ? or an analysis of class ? or a love story ? what do we learn about the human condition ?\n( 1995 ) was refused , because\nthe city\nwas too expensive for the , at the time , unknown directors to assume . for that reason , delicatessen ' s budget was cut very tight , with a very restricted set , many friends and family of both directors appearing in the cast , and most props being actually old scavenged stuff - again , to cut costs .\none of the most stylish and influential thrillers\u201d , \u201can international classic\u201d . in what ways is diva reflective of the new look cinema ? how much does the film adhere to traditions of french cinema , how much is original ? what is the contribution of the musical score ?\ndespite its dip into black comedy via the futile suicide attempts and the cannibalism subtext , delicatessen \u2018s comedy is surprisingly light and clownish , owing a great debt to the physicality of silent comedians and jacques tati . punchlines are few and far between ; instead , the film delights in creating clever and elaborate visual gags . the most famous of these is the two minute bravura sequence where the squeaking bed springs as the butcher pleasures himself on top of his mistress set the tempo for the entire house\u2019s activity : a bicycle pump , cello practice , beating a dusty rug and painting the ceiling all magically synchronize to the beat of copulation , and all end with a separate climax .\na graduate of the university of southern california film program , albert began his career as a producer on several independent feature films before moving into cinematography . after shooting a number of narrative projects , including a piece by director mike figgis ( leaving las vegas ) for the acclaimed shorts collection\ndilapidated french boarding house filled with insane tenants , most pleasantly eccentric , some downright creepy . you peer inside each room and find something unique and discomfiting . the film is filled with bizarre characters and absurd comic interludes , set in a decaying near - future universe that is artificially \u201coff . \u201d\nhip hop cafe is set in a new york style delicatessen in east london . it\u2019s an ensemble slice of life that intercuts between three separate character groups at different tables . there\u2019s jack and his ex jenny , who he\u2019s clearly cheated on and is trying to win back . there\u2019s marge and bonita , two elderly ladies who become increasingly drunk and attracted to the young waiter , and hove the eternally grumpy owner and his staff .\nthe filmmaking team of jean pierre jeunet and marc caro is a marriage of gilliam , burton , and lynch . together they created two of my favourite films , delicatessen and city of lost children . while i like most of jeunet\u2019s later work , it doesn\u2019t quite have the sensuous look and feel of these two films . if i were to draw a comparison , it would be like burton and lynch teamed up to make brazil .\nat the time of release some reputable american critics reported that the film was either co - produced or \u201cpresented by\u201d terry gilliam , although gilliam\u2019s name doesn\u2019t appear anywhere in the credits . it seems likely the monty python alum , whose early films are tonally similar to jeunet and caro , played some part the american distribution .\nthe original american trailer for the film simply presented the comic\nsqueaky spring\nsequence in full . the sequence depicts a montage of the butcher - landlord making love to his mistress on a noisy bed , while the rest of the building ' s tenants perform activities ( painting ceilings , knitting , playing the cello , assembling animal calls ) at an increasing pace , with the squeaks from the bedsprings dictating the tempo . the trailer ended with the butcher climaxing , each tenant ' s activity ending ( rather violently ) and then a sudden cut to the title logo and the ' swinging pig ' emblem from the film ' s opening credits .\nmaronian\u2019s current work is women of 1915 , a documentary film about the plight of the armenian women during the genocide scheduled to screen at the annual arpa international film festival in november 2016 . women of 1915 , is the first documentary ever to unveil the role of the armenian women of the era who lived through the horrors of the first genocide of the 20th century . the documentary highlights the integral role the armenian women played in their respective communities and the heroic , humanitarian women advocates who came to their aid from around the world , and some who even died at war - ravaged ottoman empire to empower the armenian women as pillars of war - torn , post - genocide societies . maronian\u2019s women of 1915 follows his highly acclaimed documentary , orphans of the genocide , on the plight of the armenian genocide orphans , selected by the hong kong world international film festival , and nationally distributed by the national educational telecommunications association to over 250 tv stations across the u . s .\nthe film ' s original french title was ' ' le fabuleux destin d ' am\u00e9lie poulain , ' ' and mr . jeunet deflates the self - mocking pomposity of the title by the last third of the movie . yet there is no denying that ' ' am\u00e9lie ' ' is , to paraphrase its title , fabulous .\nwill jack win jenny back ? will the drunken marge get lucky with the waiter ? will hove ever smile ? the unique and original thing about hip hop cafe as a film , is that all of these slice of life moments are told with the characters speaking the lyrics of golden age hip hop tracks as the dialogue .\nwhat gives darius khondji the ability to move fluidly between genres and collaborate with directors as distinctive as woody allen , david fincher , michael haneke , jean - pierre jeunet , and now bong joon - ho ? if you ask him , it ' s one quality : the ability to listen . delicatessen required khondji to create a gritty , absurdist world ; midnight in paris boasted a fantastical world , ever - expanding according to the outer limits of the imagination ; and the stark visuals of amour outlined a world collapsing in on itself in the final days of life . to create these varied aesthetics , khondji listened to his directors describe scenes in their films . embedded within these descriptions were the hidden keys to the film ' s cinematography , dictating everything from lighting setups to camera movement .\ndirected by jean - pierre jeunet ; written ( in french , with english subtitles ) by guillaume laurant and mr . jeunet ; director of photography , bruno delbonnel ; edited by herv\u00e9 schneid ; music by yann tiersen ; produced by claudie ossard ; released by miramax zo\u00eb . running time : 120 minutes . this film is rated r .\ndelicatessen begins in a dilapidated apartment building in post - apocalyptic france . food is in short supply , with grain used as currency . in the ground floor of the apartment building is a butcher ' s shop , run by the landlord , clapet ( jean - claude dreyfus ) , who posts job opportunities in the hard times paper as means to lure victims to the building , whom he murders and butchers as a cheap source of meat that he sells to his tenants .\nthis movie is one of the best ever made . . . even if this is a bad movies site , it ' s still good that it is recognized . it ' s brought to you by the same folks that made\ncity of lost children ,\nanother bizarre film . pretty damn sweet . the troglodytes are my heroes .\nmaking his major mark on international audiences , pinon\u2019s roles in jean - pierre jeunet\u2019s am\u00e9lie and delicatessen , playing the characters of joseph and louison , remain his most moving , and allowed for multiple generations and a worldwide audience to fall in love with his multi - layered acts and his presentation of the characters\u2019 many intricacies . breaching over to american cinema with his key role in alien : resurrection , also directed by jeunet , pinon has continued to crossover to multiple genres and marketplaces throughout his career .\nthe film was received well critically . the review aggregator rotten tomatoes gave it 88 % from a total of 41 reviews , and that of metacritic gave it 66 out of 100 out of a total of 17 reviews . variety called it\na zany little film that ' s a startling and clever debut\n, while empire called it\n[ a ] fair bet for cultdom , a lot more likeable than its subject matter suggests , and simply essential viewing for vegetarians\n. not all reviews were positive , however , with the new york times saying\nits last half - hour is devoted chiefly to letting the characters wreck the sets , and quite literally becomes a washout when the bathtub overflows .\n( wikipedia )\nshot in oppressive orangey tones and sometimes taking unexpectedly grisly turns ,\ndelicatessen\nworks best when simply allowing its characters to express their strangeness . the material ' s fun - house atmosphere is most effectively captured in simple interludes , like julie ' s rehearsed but bungled attempt to serve tea to louison or mrs . interligator ' s unsuccessful stab at doing herself in using a lamp , a sewing machine and a length of red satin . it ' s worthwhile finding out how this is supposed to work , and why it doesn ' t .\njeunet , one of three co - writers on the film , says that the idea for the story came to him because he used to rent a room above a butcher\u2019s shop and would be awoken by the sound of the butcher sharpening his cleaver every morning . his fiancee would joke that the landlord was killing his tenants for meat in order to convince him to move to a new apartment .\ncaro not only refused to participate a director\u2019s commentary , saying that he didn\u2019t believe in them , but also requested that footage of him not be used in the behind - the - scenes segments on the dvd . in his commentary , jeunet implies that caro is too self - critical , dryly suggesting caro thought the film a failure because a barely visible garden hose was unintentionally left in one shot .\nfrom the director of amelie ( jean - pierre jeunet ) comes a post - apocalyptic comedy that ' s both bitingly hilarious and absolutely one - of - a - kind . when meat becomes so rare that it is used as currency , residents living above a delicatessen must depend on a menacingly strange butcher ( jean - claude dreyfus ) for their supply . but when a new tenant ( dominique pinon ) arrives and takes a job as the building ' s handyman , he unknowingly steps into the butcher ' s trap . . . to serve him as the next meal !\njust how does one even begin to review this film ! i ' ve been pondering that question for the past hour and for some strange reason director wes anderson comes to mind so i ' ll run with that ! what does wes anderson and the directing duo of marc caro and jean - pierre jeunet have in common . . the trio place heavy emphasis on creating fantastical worlds where scrumptiously delicious visuals and quirkiness reign !\nurltoken is owned and operated by andrew borntreger . all original content is \u00a9 1998 -

ho asked me to shoot the film and then later sent me the script , i was very moved by the story , just like you . it had all this heart , this feeling of real love and friendship . and it ' s actually a very modern story .\nin delicatessen , jeunet and caro work hard to create a hermetically sealed artistic universe . like the convenient city services that function when the story needs them , reality world only intrudes into their fantasy universe out of necessity . the natural world is absent from these dreary interiors , except when the directors transform it to suit their own needs : the smoky yellow sky , the pond in an apartment , the staircase that becomes a waterfall . but in the very last scene , an exterior rooftop shot , nature is somewhat restored ; the smog dissipates , and we see sunlight and a blue sky . after all , when was the last time you saw a movie without any blue in it ?\nwith over 100 film and short credits , multiple roles in french television and over 40 performances in stage theater ( garnering him the moli\u00e8re award for best actor ) , pinon\u2019s ability to capture an audience and remain a pillar and reflection of french culture , especially to those outside of his home country with a curiosity for the romance that paris evokes , continue to take the viewer to a new world in which pinon plays their guide , comedic relief , representation of inner struggles and lovable oddity .\nshe has the innocent vitality of a silent - film star ; with her helmet of gorgeous brunet hair , she is posed to suggest louise brooks from some angles . mr . jeunet directs his protagonist so that even when she is a child ( played by flora guiet ) , each thought and impulse shines though her skin . ( ms . tautou addresses the camera as if she were looking each viewer right in the eye ; she has the cross - hairs focus of a movie star . )\nin one ridiculously off - point piece of slapstick , luison and a fellow tenet bounce on a bed to pinpoint a squeaky spring , sending reverberations that signal sex throughout the building . in this way , jeunet attempts the same awkward kinkiness that made his amelie redeemably cute ; just like amelie loves to submerge her hands in raw beans , luison takes great pride in his former career as a clown with a sidekick monkey . but delicatessen , in addition to suffering from the same preening preciousness that made amelie ultimately forgettable , also overdoses on its cartoonishly oppressive surroundings\u2014a rapist mailman , food - snatching neighbors\u2014all too repetitive of terry gilliam\u2019s brazil and far less meaningful . jeunet and caro stuff themselves with all their favorite obsessions and the result is both unfunny and very unappetizing .\nset in a futuristic paris , this stunningly designed , blackly comic french film reveals a city in ruins , where food is in short supply and the last taboo - cannibalism - is no longer considered an issue . louison , a retired clown , takes a room and a job at a lodging house run by the local butcher , unaware that he ' s being lined up as dish of the day . when he falls in love with the butcher ' s daughter they decide to join up with the radical underground vegetarian movement - and try to escape in one piece .\nfollowing the apparent death and butchering of an old woman , the troglodistes return , and mr . clapet , with the remaining tenants of the building , storm louison ' s room in an attempt to murder him . louison , aided by julie , resists by flooding the bathroom until clapet opens the door and he and the other tenants are momentarily carried away by the ensuing flood . louison is able to narrowly avoid death as clapet inadvertently kills himself with louison ' s weapon . the film ends with louison and julie playing music together on the roof of the now peaceful apartment building .\nthe film ' s pacing is athletic , though the pulse of the narrative is gradually slowed . by the climax , the movie segues into a rumination on loss and the perils of being too playful . when dufayel straightens am\u00e9lie out , we see it in a monologue on videotape . here mr . jeunet uses video as a device to demonstrate how am\u00e9lie has kept the world at arm ' s length , but the scene evokes ' ' krapp ' s last tape ' ' ; in close - up , dufayel resembles samuel beckett . by this point , the director brakes the action so that thought , and possibly regret , can filter through .\nthe story is centered on a microcosm of a post - apocalyptic society where food is so rare it ' s invaluable and is used as currency . the story centers on an apartment building with a delicatessen on the ground floor . the owner of the eatery also owns the apartment building and he is in need of a new maintenance man since the original\nmysteriously\ndisappeared . a former clown applies for the job and the butcher ' s intent is to have him work for a little while and then serve him to quirky tenants who pay the butcher in , of course , grain . the clown and butcher ' s daughter fall in love and she tries to foil her father ' s plans by contacting the\ntroglodytes\n, a grain eating sub - group of society who live entirely underground . the\ntrogs\nare possibly the most sensible of the lot , as they see food as food and not money .\njean - pierre jeunet and marc caro made their feature debut with this gloriously surreal comedy . rarely can a film have had so many disparate influences . in addition to the visual inspiration of french comic books and the eccentricity of heath robinson , there are references to the poetic realism of marcel carn\u00e9 and ren\u00e9 clair , as well as the darker visions of david lynch and terry gilliam . the gallery of grotesques gathered at butcher jean - claude dreyfus ' s tenement participates in some of the funniest set pieces of recent years , most notably the deliriously unerotic sex scene and sylvie laguna ' s preposterous suicide attempts . bizarre , brilliant , but wayward in its d\u00e9nouement .\nthe story is centered on a microcosm of a post - apocalyptic society where food is so rare it ' s invaluable and is used as currency . the story centers on an apartment building with a delicatessen on the ground floor . the owner of the eatery also owns the apartment building and he is in need of a new maintenance man since the original\nmysteriously\ndisappeared . a former clown applies for the job and the butcher ' s intent is to have him work for a little while and then serve him to quirky tenants who pay the butcher in , of course , grain . the clown and butcher ' s daughter fall in love and she tries to foil her father ' s plans by contacting the\ntroglodytes\n, a grain eating sub -

house above a butcher ' s shop , ex - clown louison ( pinon ) falls for the butcher ' s daughter . but her father , unhappy about the blossoming romance , deals in human flesh : will louison fall victim , or will the troglodistes , an underground group of vegetarian fanatics , come to his rescue ? on to this slim story , writer - directors jeunet and caro pile a wealth of delicious comic detail . each grotesquely larger - than - life inhabitant of the scrofulous tenement has his own little story ; visually , the film evokes gilliam , lynch , the coens and carn\u00e9 , but the allusions never get in the way of the nightmarish humour . the sets , special effects , photography , pace and performances all contribute to the brash comic - strip vivacity , and even the fairytale romance avoids sentimentality . increasingly inventive as it progresses , jeunet and caro ' s fast , funny feature debut entertains from sinister start to frantic finish .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

contains some cliches , ana hurra effectively puts forward social issues that still need to be addressed in a society that continues to struggle in finding both freedom and its meaning .\nas a storytelling group , ana el hekaya continue to weaves stories from old fabrics thought to have been past their prime , and bring them back in surprising new colours and shades .\nthe group first began work on naguib mahfouz\u2019s palace walk , which has become iconic with its characters el sayed ahmed abdel gawad and his wife amina . next , they selected taha hussein\u2019s do\u2019aa el karawan , which tackles honour killing . then they read al haraam by yousef idris and ana horra by ehsan abdel qudous . the stories produced in the workshops are witty and creative from a unique perspective ; some of them were published in a special feature in akhbar al youm newspaper .\nana horra is an egyptian drama movie directed by salah abu seif . the film , which is an adaptation of ihsan abdel quddous\u2019 novel , follows the story of amina ( lobna abdel aziz ) , a young egyptian woman living with her exceedingly conservative aunt and uncle , who struggles to break free from an oppressive male - dominated society . she stands up to her family as they try to force her into an arranged marriage at a very young age , and fights for her right to pursue an education .\nsalah abu seif\u2019s 1958 production ana hurra ( i am free ) was definitely ahead of its time . but then again so was the ihsan abdel quddous novel it was based on , published in 1952 .\nlaunching in 2009 with the core group of the four writers , ana el hekaya flourished as its members increased , and they performed in several venues . the core group asked about twenty new women to join ana el hekaya , all of whom have different professions , some have a background in writing and others don\u2019t . their first and major project in 2009 was to read major works of egyptian literature that have influenced our society , and write their own stories from a feminist and personal point of view .\nana horra is one of the great movies of a woman\u2019s fight to gain freedom . in this movie , amina , who is played by lobna abdel aziz , is a young girl who was raised by her aunt to respect the societal restraints on women , but she refuses to follow them , and demands to live freely by her own rules . so she goes to college and gets involved in politics , which put her in jail . that\u2019s what makes her realize that freedom is much wider than what she has always hoped for . throughout her journey , amina discovers that the ultimate freedom in which she wants to live is to be free as an individual in a free democratic country .\nbelieving that art is the best way to carry a message , and reviving a very old egyptian tradition , the founders of ana el hekaya ( i am the story ) began writing and telling tales with qalat el raweya ( the female storyteller said ) , a project initiated with the women and memory forum .\nana el hekaya has performed in important cultural venues such as beit el seheimy and the cairo opera house in celebration of international woman\u2019s day in 2010 . they have also conducted several workshops with young writers of both genders and performed the stories from these workshops in november 2010 , which was directed by caroline khalil .\nas the music from eman salaheddin\u2019s oud and the other instrumentalists introduced the first storyteller ; one by one , the members of ana el hekaya took the stage to tell their stories . the original storytellers were joined by younger members and they all told stories of egyptian women in our current times showing strength and resilience . humour , sadness and shocking elements are mixed with the lives of the characters in their stories .\nana el hekaya held a workshop for young writers and bloggers at the end of 2009 . with these young men and women , they read case studies about egyptian women and stories by feminist writers , after which the young writers wrote their own stories . the second part of the workshop took place in the summer of 2010 with a selection of writers from the first workshop . more reading of cases and writing of stories followed .\nin early 2009 , four of these storytellers formed their own group , ana el hekaya to further explore feminism and storytelling . the four are mona ibrahim , professor of poetry at cairo university and editor in chief of tiba , sahar el mougy , novelist , columnist and professor of poetry at cairo university and soha raafat ,

the gamal abdel nasser era and the new social dynamics that came with it .\nset in the years leading up to the 1952 revolution , i am free starts with protagonist amina ( lubna abdel aziz ) standing on a balcony , in her school uniform , looking at young men in the street making comments about her . her aunt comes out and yells at her for making a scene .\namina lives with her aunt and uncle , who are conservative , controlling parents to her and her cousin ( hassan youssef ) , thwarting his dream to be a violinist .\namina\u2019s whole struggle is to be free . she wants to do what she wants and be free of her conservative society . during the first half , her biggest aim is to go to university ( higher education was not common for women then ) and work to be financially independent .\ni am free is also a joy to watch , with its visually descriptive scenes : when amina strolls happily through downtown cairo , having skipped school , for example , or when she plays music with her cousin . both scenes are shot beautifully , with acting that accurately transmits the rebellious struggle for freedom of a generation trying to challenge their conservative upbringings .\ni am free is divided into four chapters separated by amina\u2019s dreams . in these dreams she is met with her conscience , represented by a man\u2019s voice . the image is captivating : a silhouette of amina in the middle of the frame with a spotlight behind her as she struggles with her thoughts .\nin the first dream she is confronted by what freedom is , and decides to rebel against her family and do as she pleases with no care for the consequences .\nthe first chapter is shot in two contrasting ways . when she is home , the camera is close to the characters placing them firmly in the frame . while when amina is out on her own with friends , she is filmed from a distance , allowing more breathing room . this contrast helps us feel for her as the plot develops .\nwhen amina takes control over her life , her reputation takes a nosedive in the neighborhood , with everyone talking about how improper she is . in one scene , she confronts the women with how hypocritical they are , saying she at least has the courage to do what she wants .\nin a series of encounters , amina proves she is a strong character who is unwilling to compromise her rebellious nature , in a way so firm it is almost spoon - fed to the viewer . but the social double standards toward women she speaks of continue to this day .\nin the second chapter , she has obtained her freedom but spends most of her time partying . realising she needs to take responsibility for the freedom she\u2019s earned , she then starts studying hard and succeeds with high grades .\nthe film highlights the patriarchal society of the time in several scenes , but one part in particular stays with me : although she\u2019s against marriage she agrees to meet a suitor and is taken by his intellect and interest in culture . quickly he starts to tell her how to dress and that she does not need an education , however , so she leaves him .\nat this point her dream conscience confronts her on marriage . while her biggest fear is to be trapped and enslaved by a husband , her conscience brings her attention to ideas of sacrifice and understanding .\nthis is the point when amina\u2019s definition of freedom is questioned , and when the film starts to conform to contemporary standards of cinema and society , diverting from its striking content on freedom . but we don\u2019t get a full sense of this dismissal of all her earlier struggles until the last chapter .\nwhen she\u2019s moved in with her father and starts working in marketing for a petroleum company , it\u2019s surprising and impressive to see the focus shift from her freedom as a woman in a conservative society to the freedom of an employee in a large company , a more gender - neutral issue .\nsurrounded by signs saying \u201cyour time belongs to the company\u201d and \u201cno personal phone calls during work hours , \u201d she is forced by her employer to take work home and has no time to enjoy the freedom she worked so hard for .\nabdel aziz does a good job portraying both amina\u2019s pride at having achieved her goal and her simultaneous frustration at the trap she is in . her father , played by mohamed abdel quddous ( the writer\u2019s off - screen father ) , also adds a strong comedic sense here , so it succeeds both in its message and in entertaining .\nthe fourth chapter is the weakest part of an otherwise profound and enjoyable film . her conscience tells her to find a cause to utilize her freedom for , to compensate for the emptiness she feels . instead of being true to herself , though , she follows her love interest ( shoukry sarhan ) in his political activism against british colonialism .\nthe shortcomings of the finale are in part due to the story taking a non - feminist turn , but also because both sarhan\u2019s over - the - top acting and the progression of the script ( by naguib mahfouz ) into the relationship fail to follow the tactfully presented themes of the rest of the film .\nin spite of this deterioration , what\u2019s really striking about this film is its depth in tackling the subject at hand . it\u2019s philosophical , with a moving story tackling women\u2019s emancipation , conservationism , workers\u2019 rights and the freedom of an entire nation from colonialism .\nabu seif made film adaptations of several of abdel quddous\u2019 novels during this period , resulting in al - wesada al - khalya ( the empty pillow , 1957 ) , la anam ( i don\u2019t sleep , 1956 ) and al - banat wal seif ( girls and the summer , 1960 ) . though not as progressive as i am free , all had female characters in the lead role .\nbut both abu seif\u2019s and abdel quddous\u2019 other works also tend to focus on women as leading the story . the same can be said for abu seif\u2019s al - zouga al - thanya ( the second wife , 1967 ) and shabab emra\u2019a ( a woman\u2019s youth , 1956 ) , as well as abdel quddous\u2019 al - nadara al - sawdaa ( the black sunglasses , film 1963 ) and

faced social challenges , broke norms , and were great role models , here are some great egyptian movies that left a unique mark in history .\nthe open door , released in 1963 , is a revolutionary movie that represented the egyptian woman taking empowering roles in society . it all started with laila , who challenged the outdated norms of her society , which restricts her to being a housewife , while men are destined to be free and express themselves through work . she believed that she could create success in both home and work , but couldn\u2019t fully express her thoughts due to suppression from her dad and her fianc\u00e9 . meanwhile , she meets her brother\u2019s revolutionary friend , hussein , who proves that not all men are like her father , which encourages her to start a journey to discover herself . played by the great actress faten hamama , laila decides to leave her fianc\u00e9 and travels with hussein to pursue her dreams . this is the first movie to show egyptian women joining protests and revolting against injustice . expressing her ideas and beliefs , discovering herself and going on an adventure to prove herself , laila opened the door for egyptian women to freedom and empowerment .\nthis is the story of esmat , played by the great actress shadya , who gets promoted at the same company where her husband works and becomes his manager . the husband feels proud of her and encourages her to succeed in her new post , but then his enthusiasm decreases as he discovers that she treats him differently at work than she does at home . the movie comes as a surprise as it breaks the norms of having the wife in a higher position than the husband . it also presents a unique role model of the hard working woman who succeeds in both personal and professional life .\nthis is another story about a professional woman who succeeded in a male - dominated field . fatma , played by faten hamama , became a lawyer after finishing her college education . she was living in the same building with adel , who was a lawyer too and graduated with fatma . although fatma had higher grades than adel , clients wouldn\u2019t hire her , just because she was female . so , her office was empty , while people lined up to seek legal consultations from adel . that was the case until adel was falsely accused of murder . then , fatma stepped in as his lawyer and used her knowledge , intelligence , and resourcefulness to prove him innocent . the movie breaks the stereotypes of women being less successful in certain fields than men , and proves their abilities to gain respect and professionalism in all they aim for .\nthis movie is one of the most controversial movies as it discusses a very sensitive issue . asmaa , played by actress hend sabry , is a widow with a daughter , lives with her father , works as a cleaner at the airport , and has aids . it is inspired by a true story of an aids patient who had to face that her society thought that aids was only acquired through wrongful doings . although asmaa tried to hide her hiv status , she didn\u2019t stop working or run away to hide when people found out . along with her struggle , it was how people treated her that hurt her the most . nevertheless , she decides to talk about her suffering in a talk show to correct people\u2019s misconceptions , and to give hiv patients some hope and to urge them not to give up . this is the first egyptian movie to discuss this issue , and to present the real facts of the disease through the story of a courageous simple egyptian woman .\nin this movie , we find three interesting stories played by three strong female characters , facing the problem of sexual harassment in egypt . the movie is inspired by real stories of women who suffered from harassment , and its name was taken from the name of a public bus , in which one of the characters often was harassed . the three characters are from different social classes , yet they suffer the same offenses in different parts of egypt . nilly , played by nahid al sebaee , is a middle - class young woman who decides to file a case in court for being sexually harassed , which has never been done before . seba , played by nilly karim , is a rich woman who gets assaulted publicly in one of egypt\u2019s squares , which causes her to lose her baby . her husband doesn\u2019t support her , so she decides to divorce him , and starts an organization that aims to stand against harassment and to call for support from society . the third character , faiza , played by boshra , is a young , poor , conservative wife , who can\u2019t afford any other mean of transportation except the public bus , in which she gets harassed daily . the three women get together to raise people\u2019s awareness about the struggles they face and to demand justice from the offenders .\nat the end of the 1990s , a group of academics , writers and researchers interested in feminism began a storytelling project . now , more than ten years later , these women continue to tell their stories with the magic of their soothing voices , exciting tales and the intoxicating music of the oud .\nthese stories were told in a recent storytelling event called \u2018fi intizar el nour\u2019 ( waiting for the light ) at the oriental hall at the american university in cairo to an ecstatic crowd .\nanother performance of \u2018fi intizar el nour\u2019 is expected to take place in the near future . this is a performance you wouldn\u2019t want to miss : for more information , visit their facebook page .\nget the latest news and reviews about restaurants , events , shopping , cinema , and everything else you need to know about the capital .\nas solange knowles wisely said \u201cvery often\u2026 the outspoken women are painted as angry and bitter spirits . the outspoken men are praised as revolutionaries and heroes . \u201d this often applies in the film industry ; however , you\u2019d be pleasantly surprised to see that some egyptian movies have been able to break the stereotypes and tell the stories of inspiring women . from vintage 70\u2019s dramas to modern - day productions , we\u2019d like to point out some out - of - the - box egyptian movies that feature strong female leads .\nthe story is quite controversial , as it tackles some sensitive subjects , and some scenes may have been considered explicit at the time . although the ending may seem a bit idealistic , the film never fails to capture the frustration of becoming a woman in a society that refuses to see women as anything more than potential wives or mothers .\nafwah wa araneb , directed by henry barakat , is an egyptian drama film that tells the story of neamat ( faten hamama ) , a single woman living in a rural village with her sister , her alcoholic brother - in - law , and their children . when her brother - in - law tries to forcefully marry her to a wealthy man , neamat runs away to mansoura where she works at a farm . she falls in love with the owner who brings back her hope , and they plan to get married . she goes home to inform her family , only to find out that her brother - in - law has found a way to legally marry her without her knowledge\u2026\nthe movie addresses a variety of issues , including social inequalities , social mobility , and divorce . the main character is one we can definitely look up to : despite having been lied to , mistreated and disrespected by the men in her life , she decided to take her own destiny in charge , and fought for her right to marry the man of her choice .\nthis egyptian drama , directed by mohamed khan , tells the story of two working - class women , hind and kamelia . hind ( aida reyad ) is a rural widow , who moves to the city after her husband\u2019s death and works as a maid to provide for her mother and sisters . kamilia ( naglaa fathy ) is a divorced woman who lives with her brother and also works as a maid to support him and his family . the story focuses on the growing friendship between the two women , their struggle , and the obstacles they face as they struggle to create a better life for themselves . the film also sheds light on some important societal issues like poverty and domestic abuse .\ndirected by mohammed khan , this painfully realistic egyptian drama follows the life of hiyam ( yasmin raeis ) , an impoverished 21 year old worker in a textile factory . hiyam falls in love with her supervisor , and soon finds out the attraction is mutual . when rumors of a pregnancy emerge , out of pride , she does not defend herself , but instead , sees an opportunity to free herself from a society which allows no deviation from traditions . but freedom comes at a very high price , and the young woman faces cruel consequences for her alleged misbehavior .\nthe film brilliantly captures the lives of working - class women , in an environment dictated by a strict and oppressive moral code , disguised as \u201creligion . \u201d it serves as an eye - opener , and reminds us that even though the privileged social classes have become more accepting of personal freedom , the less fortunate still struggle with extreme conservatism .\nin terms of how women are treated and perceived , egypt still has a ways to go . but as you can see , some filmmakers have had the courage to address the issues , and hopefully , films like those mentioned in this article might help get the message through .\nidentity is a monthly fashion and lifestyle magazine bringing you the latest and hottest trends in

muslim radicals and censors - may have a new enemy . a publisher is accused of tampering with the works of several famous authors , including nobel prize winner naguib mahfouz .\na suit charges the maktabet misr publishing house with slashing steamy love scenes and toning down the characters of women shown as independent with an eye toward sales in conservative saudi arabia . other supposed changes , particularly in mahfouz ' s works , were seemingly without reason .\nhelmy el - nemnem , a cultural reporter who first discovered the tampering , called maktabet misr ' s manager , salah el - sahar ,\na frustrated writer\nfor injecting his own words .\nmaktabet misr - arabic for\nlibrary of egypt\n- is charged with making changes in 36 books by the late ihsan abdel qaddous , three by mahfouz and one by the late youssef idris , known as the father of the egyptian short story .\na trial on the suit had been set to begin monday but was postponed until next month because the court was overwhelmed with cases . since cairo courts are notoriously slow , the trial could run on for months .\nabdel qaddous , who died in 1990 and whose novels were later adapted as popular movies , seems to have suffered the most . his two sons , outraged at the changes , have brought three suits against the publisher for three novels .\nusually if a book is not approved of , it is banned altogether - but never changed . this is a disgrace ,\nsaid one of the sons , mohammad abdel qaddous .\nel - sahar denied allegations that he modified the works of mahfouz and idris and called the changes in abdel qaddous ' s books\ncorrections .\nin previous interviews he said he had permission for the changes .\nhe was quoted in the magazine october as saying he altered abdel qaddous ' works to market them in\na gulf country ,\npresumably saudi arabia . moves to tone down writing are not surprising considering the growing constraints put on egypt ' s authors by religious conservatism .\nlast year , mahfouz , who is 83 and won the nobel prize for literature in 1988 , was stabbed by an islamic radical . his works and those of other authors have been censored by the government for touching on religious sensitivities .\neven egyptian movies , once known for liberal scenes , have gotten more conservative to satisfy conservative tastes .\nin maktabet misr ' s version , her words are followed

love advice about flaky married lover , kai . and fox likes the fact that many of them laugh about her obsession with being a free , hyper - sexual woman . there are other things to worry about \u2013 work , family , survival \u2013 not just orgasms , they remind her . researching the whole issue of sex trafficking , too , makes fox confront the fact that she herself was pressured into having sex by a sports coach when she was only 13 .\nthe irony is that in hating her as a child , i too had ended up with a bellyful of rage that i carried everywhere ! during the making of flying , i started to let go of my anger towards my gram . i thought if i could break free of some of the shackles passed down generation to generation by the women in my family , than i could actually change history backwards . suddenly i felt part of the tree of women in my family ; my gram was my roots , my mother and aunt the trunk , and i the branches . if any one part of the tree could be rejuvenated than the rest of the tree would become healthier . i think my journey towards liberation as a woman actually helped my grandmother , mother , and aunt become freer . although i suspect this idea must sound a little mad !\nhas written narratives in the tradition of stevenson , e . g . le chercheur d\u2019or ( 1985 , which includes a relationship between the narrator and the indigenous woman ouma , a name borrowed from \u2018fales\u00e1\u2019 ) , la quarantaine ( 1995 ) , and poisson d\u2019or ( 1997 ) .\nthis film premiers july 4th -

[ major spoiler ] for one , it ' s pretty clearly announced befo\ni ' d picked this up from reading the jacket information . sounded like a very intriguing work about missing children . the basic premise is , a woman in a car accident claims to be one of the bethany sisters , two girls who were abducted 25 years earlier and presumed dead . but is she , or is she pulling a scam ? and if she is , what happened ? unfortunately , this turned into a detective novel . it had a plot easily followed ( though the woman ' s character was oddly written , to say the least ) . but certain asp\nfans of the book know all about the epic adventures that happen next . . . or do they ? both of the previous films in the trilogy have been well - received by critics and fans alike , earning favorable ratings on sites like rotten tomatoes and hundreds of millions at the box office ; however , not all tolkienites agree with the creative liberties taken by director peter jackson in the adaptations .\nin an author ' s note , lippman explains that the idea for this novel came to her two years ago , when she and some friends drove past wheaton plaza and conversation stopped because they all remembered the case of sisters sheila and katherine lyon , who disappeared there in 1975 . she is quick to add that her fictional bethany family is nothing at all like the lyons .\nwhat the dead know\nis , in fact , a remarkable feat of the imagination . it contains echoes of other recent novels - - dennis lehane ' s\nshutter island ,\nwith its narrator who may or may not be reliable ;

s payment was originally intended to cover 90 % of the budget . by the time the cheque was paid , it covered barely 60 % .\nabsolute beginners may be long overdue a reappraisal but it is easy to see why its initial release was met by a torrent of critical scorn . the problem is that while the film makes a lot of its musical numbers and much of the film\u2019s original marketing rested on the fame of its musical stars , none of its tunes are all that memorable . it\u2019s not just that fashions have changed and that temple\u2019s film remains in an unhappy marriage to a now deeply - unfashionable moment in the history of popular music , it\u2019s that none of the songs ( with the possible exception of bowie\u2019s theme tune ) are any good and that the musical numbers are so unbalanced that they wind up wasting olivier stapleton \u2019s cinematography and david togurri\u2019 s choreography by shackling them to a succession of tedious tunes . the irony of absolute beginners\u2019 reputation is that while palace pictures made the film as part of a desperate attempt to appropriate the glamour and popularity of british pop music , it\u2019s the film\u2019s non - musical elements that ensure its continued relevance and vitality . colin wendell may have been right when he celebrated the success of chariots of fire by claiming that the british were coming , but if they were\u2026 they certainly weren\u2019t singing .\nhart house film board members who register in person get a discounted price of $ 30 for this workshop .\nfollowing the success of our technical drawing and six production design essentials programmes , this 6 - day course is aimed at beginners looking to break into the field of production design .\nabsolute ambition ;

s novel and drew on everyone in the press to maximise the publicity . in a way , this was the beginning of out undoing . by needing to get this level of publicity to validate absolute beginners as a film , we created this monster that by the time we had finished was out of control .\nin addition to making music videos , temple also directed and produced several full length films . in 1986 , he oversaw the production of absolute beginners , a film featuring david bowie as a fashion photographer . while a critical flop , it has now become a cult classic . in the same year , temple directed earth girls are easy . he went on to make other films , notably bullet , vigo , and pandaemonium , as well as feature length and serialized documentaries . temple has worked with the bbc , abc , australian opera , and numerous other organizations .\nbefore all you nolan fanboys start bombarding us with hate mail about this not being his first film\u2026yes , we know . he did make\nthe bfi regularly hosts cast q & as . more details here . this event was part of the bfi\u2019s london on film season .\nalong the way there ' s literally dozens of plot sideshows , from colin ' s fellini - esque lesbian neighbors , to the mindless creation of a ' teen scream ' star called baby boom . val guest and wolf mankowitz ' s expresso bongo is a minor masterpiece about the same teen phenomenon in london , but absolute beginners blows it all up into a fantasmagorical musical apocalypse . this picture could easily go by the title expresso bongo satyricon .\ncall for scripts : hart house film board seeks a script or detailed outline for a short film that is maximum of 5 - 6 minutes long ( 5 - 6 pages ) . all genres welcome ! the best script will be chosen for the next new filmmaker project .\nin this free seminar rick palidwor will present hart house membership options ;

t have considered it . screenwriter dan mcpherson brought me the book . it was a very hip book , like jack keroauc . not only is it enjoyable but it has a sting in its tail , the notting hill race riots . colin macinnes was one of the first people to recognise racism in this country .\nis reputed to be the film that helped soderbergh score investors for his oscar - nominated debut . if so , it was money well spent .\nstephen woolley : this is a bitchy business and you get used to the criticism . all i can say is that the film is unique .\nour film classes are part of the hart house creative classes , which includes photography , theatre and creative living & careers . open to everyone .\nit ' s easy to be driven to distraction by the pair , to the point where absolute beginners ' other pleasures fade into the distance . you could be forgiven for ignoring another of bowie ' s determinedly oddball turns or the wonderful little psycho essayed by graham fletcher - cook . there ' s also something really quite pleasing in the decision to cast lionel blair as a boy - hungry impresario , even if he does play it for laughs . indeed , it ' s the audacity of the entire venture which always gets underestimated as the attention tends to fall on the central miscasting . here was a british film that tried to be as big as the competition and do its own thing . there are so many idiosyncratic touches that it ' s hard to know exactly who this was all made for , but that ' s not to say that we can ' t appreciate the ambition , the determination and the sheer bloody - mindedness behind them . absolute beginners ultimately deserves its label as a failure - too much mess , too many poor decisions - and yet i cannot help being incredibly fond of it .\nabsolute beginners , the song - is in my opinion the most beautiful love song ever written . the moment when you stay open in front of each other . when you are more fragile , than you ever will be . carried just by an emotion - an emotion strong and beautiful . the , moment of absolute truth - when you truly understand each other - when you start to give up much of yourself - just to see someone else truly happy . this is the most beautiful gift one human being can give to another . if you listen to this song you immediately understand what true love is & that one , david bowie , is able to put it into one song - one melody beyond words - truly there .\nlike altman , kubrick\u2019s first film was a decidedly unlikely foray into the sporting world\u2014 a sixteen - minute documentary on boxing . included as part of the\nit\u2019s not perhaps what we were expecting and he explains that the film went over budget on its elaborate soho sets and temple was removed from it after shooting and took no part in its editing . he talks about the possibility of starting a crowd funding campaign to have the film re - edited .\njoin us in the hart house committees room ( 2nd floor ) to learn more about film board plans for the year and how to get involved .\ndetails : the annual u of t film festival is accepting short videos of any length , genre and topic . film / video installation art also welcome . we will look at everything but priority will be given to submissions from university of toronto students , staff , alumni and members of hart house .\nabsolute beginners is a musical . a british musical , but one made in the hollywood tradition of singin\u2019 in the rain or an american in paris . it stars , among others , david bowie , ray davies and sade and was directed by julien temple , maker of scores of music videos as well as the sex pistols film the great rock \u2018n\u2019 roll swindle . set in london in 1958 , against the background of a long , hot summer , the soho jazz scene and the u . k . \u2019s first race riots , it has a soundtrack arranged by gil evans and songs contributed by representatives of 20 years of british pop . simple as that ?\nkeith richards : i never wanted to be in that film . i & apos ; m not an actor . nor & apos ; s david bowie .\namerican kids need a guidebook , or a history lesson to find out what absolute beginners is all about . the rock ' n roll wave hit england every bit as hard as it did the states , and by 1958 or so , every corner of the media and commercial world was angling to get its piece of the pie . drippy novelty singers were promoted as new pop stars , and agents , producers and variety shows were trying to find ways to cram the newfound rock ' fad ' into marketable formulas .\nfilmjuice is an online publication , providing the latest film reviews , upcoming releases \u2013 plus news , interviews , features , competitions and shopping guides . located in london , filmjuice in 2011 , it has a remit to provide high quality , up - to - date easily accessible wealth of information for the film fan .\ndetails : join us for a swanky reception under the tent in the beautiful hart house quad for a meet and greet followed by an open - air screening of new films and videos from the u of t filmmaking community . always an entertaining night and a great opportunity to learn more about filmmaking opportunities at hart house . presented by the hart house film board and the u of t film festival . submit your own film for a chance to be part of the screening !\nit ' s this documentary quality which gives the novel its primary appeal , and also explains why it has since become something of a style bible to aspiring mod revivalists and the like . ( paul weller ' s long been a vocal fan with the jam scoring a top ten hit by the name of ' absolute beginners ' in 1981 . ) as a piece of narrative , though , it ' s a little slim . there are hints of romance , a bit of heartbreak and a finale set among the notting hill race riots , but these were mere diversions . it was macinnes ' ability to put london on the page that mattered , to guide us through its streets and characters , to situate us directly in the centre of its melting pot . if you were to adapt absolute beginners into a movie then those are the elements you would focus on . this realism demands a semi - documentary approach , with non - professional actors and a storyline consisting of deftly interwoven vignettes , because it ' s the real eye - opener and hook .\nyou\u2019ll also gain a vital insight into how an art department is organised , and how it relates to all the other departments on a film or tv production .\nthe film must include the specific dialog and prop that we will announce at the beginning of the challenge on fri . , dec . 18 , 6 pm .\ndavid puttnam : in 1985 , goldcrest embarked on the simultaneous production of three major movies , revolution , a historical epic starring al pacino budgeted at $ 15 million ; absolute beginners , a modern musical budgeted at around $ 8 million ; and one of my own productions , the mission , a period film starring robert de niro and jeremy irons , budgeted at $ 17 million . all three films were partly financed by international distributors . goldcrest , eager to reap the rewards of success , had been ready to shoulder a significant element of the risk . at these prices , the films would have to succeed in the usa if they were to have any real chance of covering their costs .\nthis film is clearly not for everyone , but it was a major step forward in the evolution of the movie musical , perhaps the first\npost - modern\nmovie musical , looking back to the history of musical film , paying tribute , but also rejecting and replacing many movie musical conventions . it ' s a brilliant , exciting film , without which we might not have moulin rouge today . and even if you don ' t get it , the music is terrific enough . . .\nkeith richards :\ni never wanted to be in that film . i & apos ; m not an actor . nor & apos ; s david bowie .\nmgm ' s dvd of absolute beginners is a stunner , with a bright & snappy enhanced picture that faithfully displays the show in all its prime colors . the movie begins and ends with solid fields of red , and for the first time on video , they don ' t turn into a buzzy red mess . there are two separate encodings on a flipper disc , but i doubt the flat version was necessary in this case . the stereo surround dolby digital track lets the music belt out . . . this is a good - sounding track .\nnow , my kids will watch anything , but they couldn ' t watch this . nor could their friends . i don ' t think i ' ve ever seen worse acting in a major british film . . . that song , in my opinion , was the only good feature of the whole film . . . amateurland .\nthe film may not be everyone ' s cup of tea , but it ' s hard to take a disliking to the soundtrack with its original songs by david bowie , gil evans , sade and the style council . sade and a tap - dancing bowie ( with a shudderingly strange mid - atlantic accent ) also appeared in the film .\nplot wise , the film uses macinnes\u2019 notting hill and soho backdrops but foregrounds the story of aspiring photographer colin ( eddie o ' connell ) and his wooing of the vapid crepe suzette ( patsy kensit ) . both leads are awful , wooden and show no evidence of either screen presence or an ability to act . as the evil vendice partners , david bowie ( pictured above right ) exudes presence but plays it so bizarrely he seems more ruritanian vampire than shady 1950s businessman . absolute beginners is about the whole . it is lurid , beautifully filmed , over - arch , has staggering production design , swoon - inducing sets , some ok dance routines and songs , thinks it\u2019s both west side story and expresso bongo and can\u2019t fail to dazzle .\nwith so many names attached it ' s hard to know where to the point the finger when it comes to absolute beginners ' fatal mistake . eager to make macinnes more palatable for a general audience , the film accentuates the relationship between the photographer ( now named colin , after the author of course ) and his\nspade - crazy\nex - girlfriend crepe suzette , though the miscegenation angle is massively played down . there ' s nothing wrong with this decision in itself , but when you cast eddie o ' connell and patsy kensit in the roles you ' re asking for trouble . they both look the part , certainly , with kensit coming across like a british bardot and o ' connell having the perfect cheekbones . in fact , absolute beginners has this wonderful freeze frame quality in which you could pause on any moment and be massively impressed . press play , however , and you ' re faced with the void these two non - performances provide . kensit emerged unscathed - the resilience of a former child star never to be underestimated - managing a brief pet shop boys - endorsed pop career , a supporting turn in lethal weapon 2 and plenty of tabloid interest over the next few years . o ' connell fared less well and managed just a few small roles in the likes of the bill and birds of a feather .\nthe production , in common with the rest of the british film industry at the time , had severe financial problems . shooting stopped for several weeks due to lack of funds .\nenough of a handful . then temple approached him just after that film finished production . temple was breaking up with his business partner and producer , michael hamlyn . would woolley take\njulian temple is an english film , documentary , and music video director . while studying at cambridge , he came across the works of french anarchist director jean vigo . this lead him to attend the national film and television school in buckinghamshire . after graduating , temple moved to london , where he encountered the burgeoning punk scene , notably the sex pistols .\n\u201cnow , my kids will watch anything , but they couldn\u2019t watch this . nor could their friends . i don\u2019t think i\u2019ve ever seen worse acting in a major british film\u2026 that song , in my opinion , was the only good feature of the whole film . \u201d so wrote jake eberts , whose company goldcrest films financed , and was sunk by , julien temple \u2019s 1950s - set musical \u201c absolute beginners . \u201d and by \u2018that song , \u2019 he means bowie\u2019s theme of the same name , obviously . eberts isn\u2019t entirely wrong \u2014 the film is a gigantic folly , one that didn\u2019t just destroy goldcrest , but came close to crippling the british film industry as a whole . but that doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t fascinating , and bowie\u2019s performance as well as his song , are one of the movie\u2019s major redeeming features . temple takes colin macinnes \u2019 memoir of the birth of the teen in london\u2019s soho in the 1950s and gives it an expressionistic , none - more - 80s music video veneer , a cross between alan parker , busby berkeley and amateur dramatics . it\u2019s a hot mess , dramatically and aesthetically , but it\u2019s entirely fascinating for it , and bowie has enormous fun as the near - satanic ad executive who takes lead colin under his wing . not enough of the star\u2019s film appearances let him flex his musical muscles , but both the title track and his lizardly seductive \u201cthat\u2019s motivation , \u201d atop a giant typewriter , are heads and shoulders above the rest of the movie .\nthe first surprise to everyone was that absolute beginners was to be a big , bold and brash rock musical ( of sorts ) , and the relatively inexperienced julian temple was to direct . stephen wooley , co - founder of palace pictures , stated it was the very idea of the film as a musical that attracted him . temple stated , \u201c i felt when i started making movies that music was a way of making british movies work worldwide because it was that thing at that time that fascinated the rest of the world about england . \u201d the director had already made several pop promos and filled roles and cameos in the film with artists he had previously collaborated with , such as sade and ray davies of the kinks . the style council also performed , paul weller having been highly influenced by macinnes\u2019 novel , a template for the resurgent mod scene . david bowie performed the major song of the same name , on condition he got a large part . although the film would be about the \u201950\u2019s , it seemed it wouldn\u2019t be altogether of the \u201950\u2019s . temple : \u201c i wasn\u2019t trying to please a few old jazzers . \u201d\nthe movie has picked up both the strengths and flaws of its source , colin macinnes ' s 1959 novel ' ' absolute beginners , ' ' which near the dawn of the rock era defined the teen - ager as a self - consciously new phenomenon . the hero , colin , portrayed with appealing matter - of - factness by eddie o ' connell , is determined to play throughout his last teen - age year . a sometime photographer , he loves the ambitious suzette , who chooses henley , the rich , homosexual ' ' dressmaker to the queen ' ' over colin in his poor neighborhood .\nmany veteran character actors peppered the film , often unsure of what was going on . lionel blair is a boy - mad impresario . steven berkoff plays oswald mosley in all but name ( \u201cthe fanatic\u201d ) , reeling off his speech in rhyming verse . irene handl told author christopher fowler , at the time a leading film marketer , \u201ci had no idea what i was doing on the film . i\u2019ve got one line of dialogue \u2013 \u201csmell my broom . \u201d \u2013 what does that mean ? \u201d it\u2019s hardly \u201c smell the glove\u201d is it ?\ngarth thomas : goldcrest held a press screening where they showed clips from the mission , revolution , a room with a view and absolute beginners . when the screening was over , the absolute beginners team were left at our table , rowing with each other . it was going full pelt . it was one of those classic scenes where the bottles of wine are puled up all round the table and there & apos ; s lots of & apos ; fucking this and fucking that & apos ; . fortunately , we were the only ones left when it got leery . alan marshall turned to [ palace suit ] mike brown and said :\nyou don & apos ; t know anything about fucking london ! you & apos ; re not a real londoner !\nthen brown said :\nhow dare you say that ! i live in brixton !\nyeah , but not real brixton . not with the blacks and all that .\nyes , i do ! i & apos ; m as much a londoner as you are !\nthat & apos ; s when brown took a swing at marshall . i tried to separate them but they wouldn & apos ; t have it .\nabsolute beginners mgm home entertainment 1986 / color / 2 : 35 anamorphic 16 : 9 & 1 : 33 flat pan -

and - coming film production company palace pictures should try to shake british film out of its malaise by borrowing a little music industry glamour in the form of a musical based upon the gritty post -

designed pop culture . if they could understand that , then our blackness wouldn ' t be a problem ; it would be an advantage . we ' re actually very mainstream . \u201d in that same article , reginald expanded on that : \u201cas much as i ' m interested in being positive , i ' m more interested in being authentic \u2014 and funny . people don ' t go to the movies to be preached at . they go to be entertained . if you ' re funny enough and real enough , you can reach out to anybody . \u201d\nthe cheadle house hotel was wonderful ! ! great staff who were friendly and helpful . beautiful quiet rooms . breakfast lovely and communal areas nicely decorated and comfortable . clean and in a lovely safe area with private car park . free use of the facilities at the leisure centre over the road which includes a spa , pool etc . walking distance to tgi fridays and other eating establishments . this was a godsend during our trip to manchester . loved it !\nafter more than their share of exploits , best friends kid and play ( kid ' n play ) are growing up : kid is marrying his girlfriend , veda ( angela means ) , and play is trying to survive in the music business . but they face major hurdles in their maturation process . while play plans a bachelor party , handles some raucous younger cousins and deals with the arrival in town of kid ' s ex - girlfriend ( tisha campbell ) , he also tries to bring success to a new female rap group called sex as a weapon .\nmichaele salahi , meanwhile , demonstrated that she also was a force to be reckoned with . facing a threat by county zoning officials to limit the number and kinds of money - making events the couple could host at the vineyard - - such as parties , tastings and weddings - - stemming from neighbors\u2019 complaints , michaele went to richmond , registered as a lobbyist and pushed for passage of house bill 2643 , legislation meant to strip power from county zoning authorities seeking to regulate\ncustomary or usual\nvineyard activities , the fairfax county times reported .\ninvite with class : while creating an event on facebook and sharing the link online is easy , be formal and send invitations in the mail at least a month prior to your shindig as well ( if you have no idea what the postal service is , ask an adult to help you ) . be sure to clearly print your full name along with the date , time , and address of your party . avoid using e - invites , as most people ( especially young people ) rarely check their email . it ' s important to have a guest list so you can prepare for how many people to expect , but don ' t ask for guests to rsvp - - you won ' t want to keep track of this information and it ' s likely that people who don ' t come will be supplemented by family and friends you forgot to invite that show up magically . don ' t write\ngifts or money welcome\non the invitation either ; it ' s rude and unnecessary !\nme and my hubby thought we would have a nite away working all week and it looked nice got a good deal on tavelzoo for only to get there and told no bar or resturant open due to a wedding but could have room service what a big joke so we didnt bother getting dressed up for our evening meal as we had to have room service menu too that was also a big joke we never got any extras for this they wouldnt even swap my free bottle of house wine for prosseco just no help what so ever so all in all a rubbish nite but the pub over road was way better and staff friendly so should of stayed at the premier inn . rooms were big but cobwebs all over walls , carpet was dirty and wall had spill marks on them so not all that at all i think this hortel should only be for weddings as other paying guessed didnt matter so all in all rubbish spoilt my nite away as soon as we walked in .\nmy friend and i got a last minute booking on the day of arrival on saturday and we were over the moon with cheadle house . we had had a terrible overnight stay at a manchester city centre hotel the night before and were desperate for a good nights sleep . the hotel is set in lovely grounds with lots of free space for parking . we had a warm and friendly greeting at reception ( although the alarms kept going off ! ) and the common area and coffee stations were clean and comfortable . our room was very spacious and had a lovely big bed . the tv was angled in a funny position and there was only one chair so we couldn ' t sit together to watch tv , but as we weren ' t there to watch telly it wasn ' t a problem . we were over the moon to find out that we had free access to the leisure facilities across the road , and had a very restful and relaxing afternoon there . we had a great nights sleep and weren ' t disturbed at all by the proximity to the airport . there was hardly any noise from the neighbouring rooms or other doors banging . we had a delicious breakfast this morning and the restaurant area was very clean and looked classy . this was a very reasonably priced stay with lots of benefits , and i ' ll definitely recommend it to others .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant -

eid and the new encrypted version of the previously available eddystone - tlm , we\u2019re also adding a common configuration protocol to the eddystone family . the\neddystone beacons are based on a new type of beacon technology . at the of this article you will find links to introductory articles that explain what eddystone is . the eddystone protocol was developed by google , and is an open and extensible standard for beacons . beacon vendors have embraced the standard and offer eddystone compatible beacons .\ncolumnist chris marentis believes that the future of personalized advertising is already upon us thanks to google ' s new , open ble beacon format , eddystone .\nthe google beacon platform enables you to manage your beacons remotely , integrate with google services and help users ' devices to discover content and functionality across android , native apps and the web .\ngoogle recently released an open source version of the software that enables bluetooth low energy ( ble ) beacon hardware technology to communicate with smart devices running either android or ios , called eddystone . google says the name comes from a famous uk lighthouse .\nin addition , the tutorial detecting eddystone beacons in javascript made easy introduces the library and provides background information about eddystone .\nwhether they are set up to accept your permission to manage beacons in your google cloud project .\nthe trademark is owned by google , but the project is open and driven by the community .\nyou should verify that your provider is able to configure beacons and associated services to deliver the functionality you want , including integration with google products . google does not endorse particular projects or business approaches from providers , but rather checks the capability of the provider to use the google beacon platform effectively .\nwe\u2019re excited to have worked with a variety of industry players as eddystone - eid develops . over the past year , eddystone\nthe proximity beacon api is a part of the bluetooth low energy ( ble ) beacon platform , which also includes eddystone , an open beacon format from google .\nmany beacons can be provisioned with several different frame types interleaved . in almost all cases , developers should choose one of the identifying frames ( eddystone - uid , eddystone - eid ) to ensure future compatibility with future google products , augmented by other frames used for particular purposes ( eddystone - tlm for diagnostics , eddystone - url for physical web ) .\nthe scanning is performed by google play services , and only at\nscreen - on\nevents .\ntoday i want to introduce faros , an open - source bluetooth low energy ( ble ) beacon supporting google\u2019s open beacon format eddystone implemented for the popular arduino platform .\neddystone is a ble format developed by google . it\u2019s open and multiplatform , so you can use it with both android and ios . there are four types of data a beacon can broadcast with eddystone , described by three frames :\neddystone - tlm : beacon status data that is useful for beacon fleet maintenance , and powers google proximity beacon api ' s diagnostics endpoint . - tlm should be interleaved with an identifying frame such as eddystone - uid or eddystone - eid ( for which the encrypted etlm version preserves security ) .\nan android app that can broadcast configurable eddystone - uid frames is available at eddystone - uid / tools / txeddystone - uid .\nthe eddystone library is implemented in a javascript source file called eddystone . js . this file is included with the cordova plugin .\nthe eddystone javascript library is packaged as a cordova plugin . cordova is a build tool that enables creating native apps you can publish on apple app store and google play .\nthe common frame pdu types and the individual service data byte layouts for the eddystone frame formats are documented in the eddystone protocol specification .\nan android app that performs non - exhaustive basic validation of the core eddystone frame types is available at tools / eddystone - validator .\nalternatively , you can use eddystone - uid / eid , and register your beacons with google\u2019s beacon cloud . you\u2019ll then be able to add a url notification to such beacons .\nadditionally , eddystone includes a configuration service and branding materials . to ensure that your deployment fully supports the google beacon platform , you should set up your beacons with eddystone - uid or - eid , and optionally add - url and - tlm .\neddystone for developers and techies due to the open nature of the protocol , eddystone can be used in a number of different ways . this write - up from google is a bit more complicated than that from apple , so casual perusers beware .\neddystone - eid and eddystone configuration service are only supported by location beacons . you can read how to enable them in their respective articles .\nthe current eddystone mbed example does not allow for combining the eddystone service with other services , this will be changes in a future update .\nyou may have come across the physical web without associating it with eddystone . eddystone - url is the ble format for the physical web .\nproviders on this page have passed a suite of checks that we have designed to help ensure compatibility with the google beacon platform , including beacons that can be set up to broadcast eddystone , as well as services that use the google beacon platform for app , web , and infrastructure related functionality .\ni try to use google nearby api but no beacon found . oficial google sample app also no beacon found . my own app found beacon but not working on background . i try switch between eddystone and ibeacon profil , but it is still the same . official app by urltoken find beacon . my own app which list beacons in area also works . these applications don\u00b4t use google nearby , but i can write app with background scanning beacons with google nearby . at the beginning i proceeded according to this manual : urltoken\nto get started with the google beacon platform , get a beacon and install beacon tools for android or ios .\nwith both eddystone - uid and eddystone - eid , beacons no longer broadcast a simple url , so getting from beacon id to url becomes more difficult . a mechanism is needed to translate between what the beacon is broadcasting , and the desired target content . this could be an app , or a web service . eddystone - eid in particular requires google services for key exchange to access the beacon data . for eddystone - uid , google services is optional , but it\u2019s either that or some other application .\ngoogle has a couple of companies as launch partners . samsonite has an eddystone suitcase that allows users to securely keep track of their luggage . the washington wizards and capitals use eddystone beacons to deliver customer rewards . standalone beacons are also available from several manufacturers .\ni am following the video from the google keynote ( urltoken ) . i also have the same beacon in the demo ( ibks 105 ) and managed to provision it to serve uid . by using google ' s beacon tools , i am able to detect and register the beacon in google beacon dashboard and add in my attachments and urls .\ntrimet is the first u . s . transit agency to use the google ble technology , which competes with apple ' s ibeacon . google installed the bluetooth transmitters at portland area train stations last week at no cost to trimet .\narvil , eddystone - url is almost fully compatible with physical web and therefore can be translated by browsers that support eddystone - url right now .\nin the meantime , another app , called beacon tool is used for configuring beacons to work with google web services .\nwith the invention of apple\u2019s ibeacon , ble beacons became very popular as a positioning technology . now google has released a new open beacon format called eddystone ( named after a famous lighthouse ) , which is more versatile . eddystone supports three frame types for broadcasting data :\neddystone - eid is a component of the eddystone specification for ble beacons . eddystone - eid beacons broadcast an identifier that changes every few minutes . the identifier can be resolved to useful information by a service that shares a key ( the ephemeral identity key , or eik ) with the individual beacon . any use of eddystone - eid requires both a beacon and a resolving service ( such as the google proximity beacon api ) .\nhow does eddystone work ? much of how eddystone works is the same as ibeacon . but there\u2019s extended functionality beyond that . eddystone exists as four different frames : eddystone - uid , eddystone - url , eddystone - tlm , and eddystone - eid . the uid works more or less exactly as ibeacon does : it broadcasts a short code at a regular interval . eddystone - url broadcasts a url that can be viewed by anyone with a bluetooth - enabled smartphone whether they have your app installed or not , and eddystone - tlm broadcasts some telemetry data about any attached sensors and the status of the beacon itself . this could easily be used to power data collection or triggers . in short , an eddystone beacon does nearly everything ibeacon does with some added features .\nregistration data , generally used for administration and lower - level integration with google products ( such as places api integration ) .\ngive your users better location and proximity experiences by providing a strong context signal for their devices in the form of bluetooth low energy ( ble ) beacons with eddystone , the open beacon format from google .\neddystone is an open beacon format developed by google and designed with transparency and robustness in mind . eddystone can be detected by both android and ios devices . the eddystone format builds on lessons learned from working with industry partners in existing deployments , as well as the wider beacon community . several different types of payload can be included in the frame format , including :\nanother component of google\u2019s beacon platform is the beacon dashboard . it\u2019s a web based interface tied to a google account , from which you can view and manage information associated with your eddystone - uid / eid beacons . you can attach specific pieces of data with each beacon , such as placeid s corresponding to real world locations from the google places api , and notifications to be triggered when the beacon is encountered . notifications can be url links or app intents .\nthis is the eddystone logo . it sure doesn ' t look very googley .\neddystone - tlm , telemetry data such as battery voltage , uptime , etc .\n1 ) a beacon under the eddystone beacon can broadcast a url . but :\nhello , joginder , we answered most of your questions ( and more ! ) in our eddystone faq . please check out section 2 : eddystone - url .\nstarting from right now , we\u2019re selling bluetooth beacons with support for eddystone , a new beacon format from google ! we\u2019ve been working with google on this project , and we\u2019re one of the very few companies that have been involved with the process for long enough to have native support ready for the new format at the day of launch .\nbut before we can get to this , we need to familiarise ourselves with some of the other technologies in google\u2019s beacon platform .\nalso , please remember that eddystone isn\u2019t equal to eddystone - url . eddystone - url is just one frame ( part ) of the format . apart from delivering links , it works with apps in the eddystone - uid frame and offers standard features that ibeacon does ( the ones you like more ) , dedicated to android .\nif you are using below 6 . 0 version android phone then you have to find google setting in your phone and turn on nearby . if you using above 5 . 0 then go to phone setting find google - > nearby - > and turn on .\neddystone is an open beacon format from google that works with android and ios . the process of setting up a beacon to broadcast ( sometimes called ' provisioning ' ) can be completed using google ' s beacon tools app for android and ios , using a tool from your manufacturer , or sometimes in bulk by prior arrangement with the beacon manufacturer .\nhello , joginder , we answered most of your questions ( and more ! ) in our eddystone faq : urltoken please check out section 2 : eddystone - url .\ngoogle may use registration data , including for example place id or latitude / longitude / level , across its full range of products .\nthis completes our exploration of google\u2019s ble beacon platform . we saw two different approaches to setting up your ble beacons , and noted the messaging dicohtomy of the eddystone - url physical web vs the nearby physical web . the eddystone - url approach is the easier of the two to get started with , not requiring google services to get up and running . on the other hand , informal testing during the research for this article suggests that the notifications from ble beacons set up as eddystone - uid via nearby and the beacon dashboard show up more reliably than when set up with the eddystone - url approach .\neddystone is developed in the open with the input and collaboration of a number of beacon manufacturers , with an emphasis on interoperability and long - term robustness that avoids dependency on any particular party . beacons that support eddystone can be provisioned using eddystone - compatible tools from any manufacturer , and can be registered with any eddystone - compatible service .\nto date , the widest implementation of these beacons has been apple ' s ibeacon tech , but now google is entering the fray in a more serious way with an open standard it ' s calling eddystone ( after the lighthouse , you see ) . eddystone isn ' t technically supposed to just be a google project , though , as the company is open - sourcing many of the necessary specs and elements that make up a beacon ecosystem .\nyou can learn more about the cryptographic approach of eddystone - eid from our preprint .\nlooking for the technical details behind eddystone ? take a look at our developer portal .\nlet\u2019s see how to set up an eddystone - url beacon for the physical web .\nwith eddystone , google is only offering integrators the beacon technology . it ' s leaving branding up to the companies selling the products , which could make identifying eddystone devices on the market a challenge . apps are also up to the companies selling the devices , so you would need separate apps for your suitcase , your car keys , your bike , and whatever else you buy with eddystone embedded .\nwhile eddystone - url beacons will appear in nearby notifications automatically , beacons in other formats , such as eddystone - uid , eddystone - eid or ibeacon need to be registered on google\u2019s platform before they will appear in nearby notifications . this is because since these other formats are not broadcasting a raw url , they need an intermediary , whether an app or web service , to interpret the beacon data .\nyou know , google can adjust its browser , but has no impact on other providers\u2019 apps . so as long as mozilla and apple don\u2019t implement support for eddystone / physical web to their browsers , i wouldn\u2019t count on it .\neddystone is cross - platform\u2014support is built into google play services ' nearby api on android , and it can be used via a library on ios . eddystone is also open source and is available on github under the apache v2 . 0 license ( we ' ll update with links later once this all goes live ) .\neddystone is a completely new method of broadcasting ble data from beacons , created by google but open to extension by the internet at large . it embraces what ibeacons can do , and adds even more real - world context to it .\nbeacons that meet the full eddystone specification can be provisioned to broadcast using any tool that implements the eddystone generic attribute profile ( gatt ) service . the google beacon tools app for android and ios can be used to provision a beacon , as well as to attach content to the beacon that can be exposed through your apps .\nmonitor the status of a fleet using the eddystone telemetry frame , and the diagnostics endpoint .\nany urltoken beacon can broadcast both eddystone and ibeacon formats interchangeably using our packet interleaving feature .\nload up a beacon configuration app . some manufacturers build their own configuration app , while other simply direct you to a eddystone - compatible third party app such as the eddystone app .\nthe name\neddystone\nmight sound a little weird , but google says it ' s named after the eddystone lighthouse in the uk . the motif is that beacons guide users and apps in the real world the same way lighthouses guide ship captains in the night . being an open source project , they wouldn ' t want to name it\ngoogle beacon .\nit fits in well enough with the other non - obviously - branded open source google projects like android , chromium , or dart . this also isn ' t something they need to sell to the general public , just beacon oems and app developers .\neddystone ' s other big differentiator is that it supports multiple\nframe types\n\u2014basically data payloads\u2014that can perform a variety of functions . previous solutions from apple ( ibeacon ) and google ( the physical web ) have only served one purpose .\nif you are setting up an eddystone - eid , eddystone - uid beacon ( or an ibeacon ) then you will need the beacon tool app to register your beacon with the platform .\nwhile the enhancements to eddystone are beneficial , and the beacon dashboard , and platform as a whole , provide many benefits over the eddystone - url physical web , it\u2019s also apparent that these also happen to serve google very well by keeping them involved all the way in the entire beacon stack , and in a position to track activities .\ncopyright 2012 -

platform bluetooth le beacon format . the internet of things initiative is a competitor to apple ' s ibeacon , but it ups the ante by working on both android and ios and offering a wider selection of data payloads . eddystone has been primarily focused on business and the enterprise , but today google is providing more details on the secure beacon mode that it hopes will find its way into consumer goods .\nit\u2019s a bit early for most businesses to run out and purchase ble beacons that will work with this cross - platform , open - source eddystone format that google has released . however , you could theoretically start testing the technology in - house .\neddystone , an open and extensible bluetooth low energy ( ble ) beacon format from google , supported by android , ios , and chrome . beacons mark important places and objects in a way that your phone can understand . to do this , they typically broadcast public one - way signals \u2012 such as an eddystone - uid or - url .\nwhen a client device sights an eddystone - eid beacon as a result of a nearby subscription , the current eid is sent to the google proximity beacon api along with the api key of the calling app . the google proximity beacon api establishes whether the supplied api key is authorized to fetch attachments that have been associated with the beacon . if resolution is allowed , the attachments are served back as nearby message objects in the normal way . otherwise , google proximity beacon api returns an empty value , as it would if the beacon had not been registered .\nas far as i ' m aware , the app - free solutions should only function with eddystone url and tlm . conserning the url - have you got the specifics covered : google chrome installed , physical web turned on , bluetooth and location on ?\neddystone beacons may transmit data about their own operation to clients . this data is called telemetry and is useful for monitoring the health and operation of a fleet of beacons . since the eddystone - tlm frame does not contain a beacon id , it must be paired with an identifying frame which provides the id , either of type eddystone - uid or eddystone - url . see interleaving telemetry for details .\neddystone simply has a different purpose . if your audience is more android - oriented , you go for eddystone . if they use iphones , choose ibeacon . we don\u2019t ingore the fact that eddystone can\u2019t wake up apps on ios\u2013we talked about it in this blog post : urltoken , where you\u2019ll also find out what\u2019s holding us back from enabling our beacons to broadcast ibeacon and eddystone at the same time .\ngoogle maps is working to support the technology for ios users too ,\nfetsch said ,\nbut no further details are available at this time .\nmanufacturers who wish to have their beacons checked by google engineers should send samples for testing . before sending your beacons , you can perform some basic validation checks using eddystone validator . note that your own use of this tool does not constitute any kind of certification .\nyou\u2019ve heard of beacons . then there\u2019s ibeacon , eddystone , and what else ? here\u2019s your primer to get started understanding ibeacon vs . eddystone , their histories , and what makes them each uniquely cool .\nwhat i have seen the eddystone beacons from kontakt always send the 3 different eddystone packets . if the url is not explicitly defined during ordering , the default url is linking to this page . i expect view count of this page to increase soon now that androids trigger local notifications from eddystone url packets \ud83d\ude42\nwhat do you need to work with eddystone -

this program recognizes eddystone beacons and will display the data for all frame types .\nthere\u2019s more to eddystone than we\u2019ve mentioned so far . eddystone - uid is a format where the beacon broadcasts an id instead of a url , and an app or service must decode or interpret the beacon signal .\n1 . is it the chrome browser on ios which can scan eddystone urls or chrome on any other os ( like android ) can also scan eddystone urls . 2 . it is said android support eddystone natively . what it means ? whether google provide an app like gmail , map to scan these urls or android generate any notification whenever it receive any url from a beacon ? 3 . how can we request the nearby beacon urls . is there will any place in setting in android ?\ntrimet and google have activated an array of low - energy wireless beacons at the agency ' s 87 light - rail stations to seamlessly beam the notifications to nearby commuters .\nthe google proximity beacon api will only return attachment data associated with eddystone - eid beacons when the request contains the api key of an authorized project . this means that , provided you take appropriate care of your api key , only your app can make use of the beacon signal .\nif you want to use beacon as a eddystone you need to update the beacon configuration through urltoken web panel ( kontak io web panel ) and you have to use kontakt io android app ( kontakt io google play store ) for update the beacon , because beacon will update via bluetooth .\nonce your beacon is provisioned and deployed , you should register it with google proximity beacon api to get the full benefits of the google beacon platform . the google beacon platform provides an abstraction between the beacon hardware or identifier and information associated with the beacon . this allows a single beacon to play a role for many different apps , services , and features . once a beacon is provisioned and registered , you should focus on attachment data , namespace and type s in order to take full advantage of the beacon platform ' s flexibility .\neddystone - url : a compressed url that , once parsed and decompressed , is directly usable by the client .\neddystone\u2019s specification is published openly on the web and driven by the community , so anyone can access it and contribute to it . have a brilliant idea on how to improve the eddystone experience ? go on and submit it !\neddystone - eid beacons can be integrated into devices that users carry with them without leaving users vulnerable to tracking .\nnearby notifications will display messages in the nearby section of google settings , light up the nearby quick settings tile on supported devices , and will promote the best performing attachments as notifications .\na lot has changed in a short time in google\u2019s beacon platform . perhaps not to be unexpected given that it\u2019s a relatively new technology . beacons that you can purchase today generally have several broadcast modes to choose from , including ibeacon , eddystone - eid , and eddystone - url . some can broadcast multiple modes at once , while others must be configured in one mode , and will stay there until reconfigured .\nunderstanding the signal means signing up with a\nresolution service\nlike the google cloud platform ' s proximity beacon api . this cloud - based service synchronizes your client and the beacon , making sure everyone changes ids at the right time and sets up rules about who can access what . if you don ' t want to use google ' s cloud service , it ' s also entirely possible to come up with your own resolution service and configure eddystone beacons to use it .\nthis option may be useful if you interleave eddystone - uid with other uuid - based frame formats . it allows you to relate your eddystone - uid namespace to the uuid in the other frames by deriving one from the other .\nthe google beacon platform , built on eddystone , allows you to deploy your beacons once and use them many times . build highly personalized features into your app , share your beacons to collaborate with other developers , or use nearby notifications to deliver web or app content , with no prior app install required .\nbluetooth beacons are one - way communications , so usually the goal is sending a notification that , when tapped on , will launch a more capable form of displaying or transferring data .\nbecause eddystone is comprised of these different frame types , you ' ll see different beacon vendors using eddystone for slightly different purposes ,\nthe eddystone team told us .\nthe eddystone - url frame forms the backbone of the physical web , an effort to enable frictionless discovery of web content relating to one\u2019s surroundings . eddystone - url incorporates all of the learnings from the uribeacon format from which it evolved .\nthanks for the info . what about browsers like safari and firefox ? can eddystone urls be translated by these browsers ?\nk11 is a hong kong museum and retail experience using sensoro eddystone - eid beacons for visitor tours and customer promotions .\neddystone eid is the secure variant of eddystone uid . it ' s to eddystone uid what estimote ' s own secureuuid is for ibeacon \u2014 a way of making sure that only your own app will be able to recognize the beacon and serve content based on its unique ( and changing ) namespace and instance . learn how to set it up here .\neddystone - eid ( ephemeral id ) is a more recent security addition to the eddystone format . it prevents beacons from being spoofed , and offers privacy and access control to beacons . if a bluetooth beacon constantly broadcasts the same id , it can be hijacked . so instead , with eddystone - eid , beacons can broadcast different rotating ids over time .\nibeacon ( created by apple ) and eddystone ( created by google ) are bluetooth advertising protocols . this means they define what data beacons broadcast over bluetooth , and the format of that data . you can think about it as the \u201clanguage\u201d that the beacons speak in . they\u2019re also commonly referred to as \u201cpackets\u201d .\nthe eddystone frames get swapped in and out depending on what frames you have enabled . the only required frame type is the tlm frame , all others are optional and you can have any number enabled . to disable the uid or url frames give their values a ' null ' in the eddystone constructor . the eddystone spec recommends broadcasting 10 frames a second .\nupdate the eddystone - url . many beacons offer multiple broadcast modes , such as ibeacon , eddystone - eid , as well as eddystone - url . find the correct field and set your url . note that only https urls will work here . in our case , we\u2019ll use urltoken . ( note that it\u2019s sometimes recommended to use a link shortener here )\ngoogle has a project called\nthe physical web ,\nwhich accomplishes a similar thing\u2014broadcasting urls from a bluetooth beacon . this has the same inflexibility problem as ibeacon , in that it only sends this one frame type . again eddystone is a more flexible , unifying standard that also covers this use case . the physical web project will actually be switching from its current\nuribeacon\nstandard to the new eddystone - url frame type .\nsamsonite and accent systems have developed a suitcase with eddystone - eid where users can securely keep track of their personal luggage .\nwhether or not eddystone will move any of those concerns in the right direction is obviously an open question , but it ' s worth noting again that google intends this to be an open - source , wide - ranging ecosystem \u2014 not simply a way for google to find another way to insert itself into your digital life . instead of talking about ads , the company says it ' s planning on using beacons to send non - interruptive notifications to google now so that it can show relevant information based on your location ,\nlike showing you menu items when you\u2019re inside a restaurant .\nwe won ' t know if eddystone beacons can supplant ibeacons anytime soon , much less make bluetooth beacons as common as wi - fi hotspots \u2014 but it ' s a good bet that they won ' t show up in an apple store anytime soon .\nso , if you want to use eddystone - uid beacons with the physical web , then things quickly get more complicated for your beacon project . let\u2019s see what it takes to get an eddystone - uid beacon set up on on the physical web .\noriginally , the official physical web app from google could be used to program beacons . a subsequent release removed this feature , leaving users with beacons that had been configured with this app unable to reconfigure them\nstarting with google\u2019s beacon platform can be daunting . while the physical web is simple on one level , once you dig deeper , things can get confusing quickly . it\u2019s easy to get bogged down in overlapping apis and services , without knowing which ones you might need . when google first announced eddystone physical web , things were very simple : press a button on a beacon , load up the configuration app on your phone , set the beacon url via the app , and that\u2019s it , the beacon broadcasts the url until it dies .\nthe uid frame is encoded in the advertisement as a service data block associated with the eddystone service uuid . the layout is :\nthe eid frame is encoded in the advertisement as a service data block associated with the eddystone service uuid . the layout is :\nthe eddystone - url frame broadcasts a url using a compressed encoding format in order to fit more within the limited advertisement packet .\neddystone - uid : a unique , static id with a 10 - byte namespace component and a 6 - byte instance component .\nagnieszka , \u201cif your audience is more android - oriented , you go for eddystone . if they use iphones , choose ibeacon . \u201d\u2013does this imply it might not be a bad idea to use both an ibeacon and an eddystone beacon in the same location ?\nthis is another advantage the nearby approach has over the eddystone - url approach : notification text is configurable for the nearby approach .\nurls , emitted by objects and devices are the backbone of the physical web , another project from google . instead of broadcasting unique strings of numbers and letters that are only recognised by certain apps , the eddystone - url frame type broadcasts information that can be natively used by a phone even if it doesn\u2019t have your app installed . that\u2019s a game changer , giving businesses a reason to switch to eddystone profile all by itself even if there weren\u2019t any other advantages .\nthe eddystone functionality is implemented as a cordova / phonegap plugin . this is an open - source plugin you can use to build a native app for publication on the google play store and the apple app store . this plugin is included with evothings viewer , so you don ' t need to do anything special to run an eddystone app when using evothings viewer . when your app is ready to be published , build it using cordova . more on this below .\nwell , we can\u2019t say that background scanning doesn\u2019t work at all , since corebluetooth enables it to some degree . when it comes to the future and possible improvements , i think it\u2019s better to ask google \ud83d\ude42\nmany beacons support both the eddystone universal configuration service as well as proprietary services specific to individual beacon manufacturers . for a simple getting started experience , choose a manufacturer that supports the eddystone gatt service . proprietary services may offer extra functionality targeted at specialized beacon hardware .\nwe often compare beacons to a lighthouse ; they\u2019re just simple objects constantly sending out a signal . perhaps that\u2019s the reason google named their beacon format after the eddystone lighthouse in the uk . more importantly , though strikingly similar to ibeacon , it is distinctly google ( or , at least , non - apple ) . the protocol is now known for being \u201copen , \u201d created with the input and collaboration of several companies . instead of being created to power highly specific user - facing apps , its key qualities are interoperability and long - term strength .\nmaybe someone can help me . url\u2019s broadcast by the uribeacon can only be translated by a browser that supports physical web urls . is this the same with eddystone urls ? or , can eddystone urls be translated by any browser ? ( i . e safari ) .\neddystone - tlm is a format for broadcasting telementry data such as battery level , temperature , and broadcast stats , at regular intervals .\ni have tried serving for eddystone url and successfully broadcasted the url . i would really like to get the uid to work also .\nif the notification has been dismissed on a device recently , that device may not show another notification a period of time . the backoff policy is also reset if the user opens the nearby section of google settings .\nas you already know , you can use eddystone - uid to deploy real - world context to your native apps . but if some of your customers don\u2019t use your app , or you don\u2019t have one , you can use another frame type : the eddystone - url .\nron is the reviews editor at ars technica , where he specializes in android os and google products . he is always on the hunt for a new gadget and loves to rip things apart to see how they work .\n2 : technically , it\u2019s called eddystone - uid ( or uid , for short ) . we recommend using proper names to avoid confusion \ud83d\ude42\nmonumental sports in washington , dc , uses radius networks eddystone - eid beacons for delivering customer rewards during washington wizards and capitals sporting events .\ntip : the ibeacon , eddystone , and other packets can also be consumed by other apis : ios\u2019s core location and core bluetooth , android\u2019s bluetoothlescanner , google\u2019s nearby notifications , etc . each api has its strengths and weaknesses , so you can pick one that suits your needs best . ( needless to say , we recommend the estimote apis ! : wink : )\nthe shared key between an individual beacon and a beacon registry is exchanged at the time the beacon is provisioned using an elliptic curve diffie - hellman key agreement protocol . this protocol is robust against an insecure channel between the beacon that is being provisioned and the service performing the resolution . the google proximity beacon api supports registration of an eddystone - eid beacon through two channels :\n2 ) & 3 ) eddystone - url broadcasts some metadata . if a user taps on a link , a browser opens , displaying a website you linked to . i explained the eddystone - url mechanics here : urltoken i think you\u2019ll find other answers to your questions there , too .\nin addition to beacon manufacturers , we\u2019ve been working with a range of innovative companies to demonstrate eddystone - eid in a variety of different scenarios .\nsparta digital has produced an app called buzzin that uses eddystone - eid beacons deployed in manchester , uk to enable a more seamless transit experience .\nwell , you have 3 options . 1 ) you can change the eddystone - url to redirect to your own website 2 ) you can turn on packets interleaving and turn the eddystone - url frame off ( and save some battery life ) . more details here : urltoken 3 ) if you set your beacons to broadcast a non - existent url , smartphones will not display eddystone - triggered urls . let me know if that helped .\nthe google beacon platform is designed to enable an extensible , broad range of functionality related to proximity and location . often venue owners and developers will wish to work with specialist providers to enable this functionality for their venue ' s visitors .\nan eddystone beacon is a bluetooth low energy beacon , that means it does all of its data transfer in gap advertising packets . eddystone beacons , unlike other beacons , broadcast multiple types of data . currently eddystone beacons have 3 frame types ( uid , url , tlm ) that will get swapped out periodically . this swapping of frame data allows eddystone beacons to send many different types of data , thus increasing their usefulness over traditional beacons . note that the uid frame type provides the same 16bytes of uuid namespace that ibeacons do and the url frame type provides the same functionality as a uribeacon .\neddystone defines a gatt configuration service to enable interoperability between hardware manufacturers and application developers . it allows the beacon to report its capabilities to apps , and for the beacon ' s broadcast data to be reconfigured . this service is also necessary for secure configuration and registration as an eddystone - eid beacon .\nin the beacon space have grown from 5 to over 25 . the following 15 manufacturers will be supporting eddystone - eid , with more to follow :\nin the following sections , we\u2019ll take a look at what\u2019s involved in getting your beacons set up and registered in google nearby , and we\u2019ll see how they can deliver notifications to ble devices . the first thing to do is configure the beacons .\neddystone - eid : a time - varying beacon frame that can be resolved to a stable identifier by a linked resolver , such as proximity beacon api .\neddystone - uid \u2014a beacon\u2019s unique id number . this frame type triggers push notifications or app actions , just like proximity uuid that you know from ibeacon .\nthe system isn\u2019t perfect , but eddystone is just at its beginnings . here , at kontakt . io , we believe it\u2019ll grow and bring more opportunities .\n1d : that\u2019s right . that\u2019s why we recommend developing a dedicated ( and responsive ) landing page for eddystone - urls , that contains dedicated meta title .\nyou could also get a head start on explaining how any existing apps that you\u2019ve already created for your customers will work when they get the eddystone upgrade ."]}

director john sturges ' 1963 film the great escape , featuring allied prisoners of war attempting to escape a german pow camp during world war ii , and featuring future icons of the action genre including steve mcqueen and charles bronson , is an example of an action film prototype .\nfollowing the main character through his trials and investigations you really get a feeling of the horror and turmoil the simple every man is going through . i also came away from this film with the quote\nconsciousness is an independent variable\n. of the two 12 : 01 movies i consider this the more impressive . as other reviewers have mentioned the film focuses on a 59 minute loop , and shows that if you only have one hour to live over and over again then you can ' t achieve very much . if you ' ve seen groundhog day and seriously got into the time loop , wanting to know more about why the main character was stuck then this movie might appeal as you here some science .\nwelcome back . i am sure many of you enjoyed your time with putney swope in our last chapter and his radical yet interesting ways of running an advertisement company . this week we shall look into the fun exciting world of time travel , even though if one stops and thinks about any plot that involves time travel plot holes can be found easily . yet it is something that is explored in film time and time again as it can open up so many different ideas and gives inspirational hope that we can alter the future or past to how we see fit . even more interesting is when a film dealing with time travel does not have an astronomical budget and therefore cannot rely on special effects to expand the scale of the film but rather come up with fresh ideas to drive the film forward . tv film 12 : 01 just does just that , and what it may lack in style and big names it makes up for it in the tension and idea department . also it boasts a cool cast and it is directed by jack sholder the man behind the horror sequel a nightmare on elm street 2 : freddy\u2019s revenge and sci -

known work today because of the oscar nomination it scored . and even if it did not win , then the topic similar to\ngroundhog day\nstays in people ' s minds , especially as this one came out 3 years earlier and is thus even more original . we follow a man who has to live through the exact same hour of the day again and again and , unsurprisingly , quickly descends into insanity , even if a beautiful woman makes things look good for a while . it ' s certainly much darker than\ngroundhog day\n, but if you loved the billy murray film , this one here is certainly worth checking out . i thought it was a pretty solid watch , especially the first half if the film . thumbs up .\nblown - away . that was the result of watching this 25 minute short film made almost 20 years ago . obviously , i ' m another one of those groundhog day fans that , out of curiosity , wanted to see this movie . and i thought it was absolutely fantastic . it was like a true shakespearean play ; fascinating , and original story ( it was adapted from a short story , but this was the first film of many that dealt with\ntime - loops\nand\nrepetition of time\n) , as well as a tragic and profound end . interestingly enough , after watching the movie , i felt it was one of the best shorts i ' d ever seen , and maybe only one or two were better , including\nthe lunch date\n, which i found out is the same short film that beat\n12 : 01 pm\nat the oscars in 1991 . so , for those of you who are gh fans , this is a must , and for anyone who is looking for an amazingly unique film experience in only 25 minutes or less , this movie is for you .\nwhoa , d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu : fruit loops , teal\u2019c repeatedly getting hit in the face by a door , the briefing room , the premature return of sg -

a kabbalist analyzed the significance of its numerology . philosophy students wrote dissertations about groundhog day and nietzsche\u2019s concept of the \u201ceternal recurrence . \u201d an economist published a column claiming that the film \u201cillustrates the importance of the mises - hayek paradigm as an alternative to equilibrium economics by illustrating the unreal nature of equilibrium theorizing . \u201d addicts told rubin that the film had helped them realize they were trapped in punxsutawneys of their own making .\nthe movie starts with barry waking up in an unbuttoned shirt and white boxer shorts . barry goes to work and witnesses the murder of lisa fredericks , one of utrel ' s head scientists for the super accelerator project ( a device designed for accelerating subatomic particles faster than the speed of light ) . for years , barry has had romantic feelings for lisa but only started to court her that day . after seeing lisa die , howard invites barry for a night of drinking to cope . when barry is at home ready to go to sleep he gets electroshocked at exactly 12 : 01 when he tries to fix a lamp . this is the exact time the\ntime bounce\nhappens ( a side - effect of utrel ' s malfunctioning super accelerator ) and causes barry ' s consciousness to be unaffected allowing him to remember events when the day repeats .\nsaw this years ago on showtime and have waned to see ever since . i love time travel / time bounce movies and books , especially groundhogs day ( just watched again with my son , his first time ) . anyway , great news , at least for now the short is on google video , so grab it if you can before the copyright police remove it . plot is simple , myron castleman - g - d - is trapped in a time bounce from 12 : 01 p . m . to 1 : 00 p . m . only his conscience doesn ' t reset , even his body reverts ( if he eats at 12 : 59 he is hungry again at the bounce . he learns that a professor at the tempus institute ( time in latin ) predicted that ( i ) matter and antimatter will collide causing the time bounce and that ( ii ) conscience is independent of the time bounce ( but apparently for only some , or one person ) . seems to me that this may be a form of punishment , i . e . hell . also , anyone who experienced this would likely go insane from lack of sleep . kurtwood smith gives a stellar performance as the\nvictim\nand by the end you feel frantic and sorry for him wondering how anyone could survive .\ni first caught this film in the same way as many of the reviewers here , by catching it as a featured film in the\n: 30 minute movie\nsegments on showtime , hosted by rob reiner , back in the early 90 ' s . my wife and i were both instantly captivated by the story , which was later remade into a terrible feature - length film , and later modified to become\ngroundhog day .\nkurtwood smith was an inspired choice to play the main character , and the limitations of the 59 - minute time frame made his frenzied efforts to escape his inescapable fate all the more terrifying . the ending , while old hat now ( since it ' s been remade again and again ) , was fresh and shocking for it ' s time . you ached for smith ' s character . the ending haunted me for a long time .\nsome historians consider the great train robbery ( 1903 ) to be the first action film . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] during the 1920s and 1930s , action - based films were often\nswashbuckling\nadventure films in which actors , such as douglas fairbanks , wielded swords in period pieces or westerns .\nboards , thermal insulating , polyester impregnated glass fibre , having all of the following : ( a ) temperature resistance of between 229 and 251 deg . c ; ( b ) conforming to specifications din iso 9001 ; ( c ) compressive strength at room temperature between 299 n / sq . mm and 601 n / sq . mm ; ( d ) thickness tolerance + / - 10 % unground ; ( e ) planparallelism ( ground ) + / - 0 . 01 to 0 . 05 mm / 1 m length\nit might not have been the first , but there\u2019s a reason why the phrase \u201cgroundhog day\u201d has become synonymous with this type of story . in the film murray ( still at the height of his comedic powers ) finds himself endlessly reliving 2 february in a snow - swept pennsylvania town , where he\u2019s reporting from the annual groundhog day ceremony .\nsci - fi action - sharing many of the conventions of a science fiction film , sci - fi action films emphasizes gun - play , space battles , invented weaponry , and other sci - fi elements weaved into action film premises . examples include g . i . samurai , terminator 2 , the matrix , total recall , minority report , the island , star wars , the men in black franchise , aliens , i robot , transformers , the hunger games , the maze runner , equilibrium , district 9 , serenity , akira , paycheck , predator , robocop , avatar , mad max 2 , divergent , they live , escape from new york and the fifth element . [ 30 ]\naction adventure - a subgenre of the adventure film genre as well . typically , these films take place in exotic locations and frequently involve the hero travelling to several locations around the world . there are a lot of films with this combined genre . examples include the indiana jones and james bond franchises , and most superhero films are action adventure , too .\nlike the western genre , spy - movies , as well as urban - action films , were starting to parody themselves , and with the growing revolution in cgi ( computer generated imagery ) , the\nreal - world\nsettings began to give way to increasingly fantastic environments . [ 13 ] this new era of action films often had budgets unlike any in the history of motion pictures . [ 14 ] the success of the many dirty harry and james bond sequels had proven that a single successful action film could lead to a continuing action franchise . thus , the 1980s and 1990s saw a rise in both budgets and the number of sequels a film could generally have . [ 15 ] this led to an increasing number of filmmakers to create new technologies that would allow them to beat the competition and take audiences to new heights . [ 16 ] the success of tim burton ' s batman ( 1989 ) led to a string of financially successful sequels . within a single decade , they proved the viability of a novel subgenre of action film : the comic - book movie . [ 17 ]\nthis is a thirty minute film i saw years ago on showtime . it was part of some kind of short film series hosted by rob reiner . this was the best of the three . it involved a man who is doomed to inhabit the same hour over and over . when we first see myron castleman he ' s standing in an intersection . he goes to the park to eat his lunch . he goes back to the office . then bam ! he ' s standing in the intersection again . he tries to change things within the hour . but an hour isn ' t enough time ; so he always ends up at that intersection . at some point he realizes that he may be able to do something . at this point everything takes on a frenzied urgency . myron must race against the clock to find a way out . kurtwood smith plays myron with so much depth and emotion . i can ' t imagine any one doing a better job . i ' m glad i taped this ; i ' ve seen it several times . it is a haunting film ; a minor classic .\nthis well - meaning film ( based on the best - selling , nonfiction book by jonathan harr ) also undercuts itself by concentrating too heavily on all the courtroom proceedings , such as the countless motions for dismissal and other legal wrangling . the result , of course , is short shrift for the more compelling human element , namely the clients who hired the main character .\nthis short movie was written and directed by jonathan heap and hillary anne ripps . it was nominated for an oscar as a best short film , live action movie . it is a super great sci - fi flick that was lensed in 1991 . i am the man walking in the park wearing a brown suit , with a blonde headed lady . it was my very first show and i sort of though maybe it just may be a good film . i never did actually think that it would be nominated for an oscar . i think i was very lucky to have been in a show for the first time , that got nominated for an oscar . i feel kinda proud of being in it , even if you can only catch a glimpse of me now and then walking round and round the park . i was not credited in it but i still managed to have it recorded in the internet movie data base . my screen and stage name is joe casino . after this short film , i went on to make several other flicks and they may be viewed on imdb . com ( joe casino )\naction film is a film genre in which the protagonist or protagonists are thrust into a series of challenges that typically include violence , extended fighting , physical feats , and frantic chases . action films tend to feature a resourceful hero struggling against incredible odds , which include life - threatening situations , a villain , or a pursuit which generally concludes in victory for the hero ( though a small number of films in this genre have ended in victory for the villain instead ) . advancements in cgi have made it cheaper and easier to create action sequences and other visual effects that required the efforts of professional stunt crews in the past . however , reactions to action films containing significant amounts of cgi have been mixed as films that use computer animations to create unrealistic , highly unbelievable events are often met with criticism . [ 1 ] while action has long been a recurring component in films , the\naction film\ngenre began to develop in the 1970s along with the increase of stunts and special effects . common action scenes in films are generally , but not limited to , car chases , fighting and gunplay or shootouts .\nsuperhero film - usually having elements of science fiction and fantasy , they focus on the actions of one or more superheroes , who usually possess superhuman abilities and are dedicated to protecting the public . these films are almost always action - oriented and the first film of a particular character often includes a focus on the origin of the special powers , including the first fight against the character ' s most famous supervillain archenemy . some superheroes are from marvel and dc , or they can be made - up . examples include batman , iron man , green lantern , spider - man , the avengers , x - men , thor , captain america : the first avenger , the incredible hulk , wonder woman , kick - ass , and superman . [ 37 ]\nafter the film groundhog day was a success , rubin started getting calls to work on scripts . he was now a known quantity \u2014 he was the guy who wrote groundhog day \u2014 and all producers seemingly wanted was for him to write the same movie again . a rom - com . something quirky . but not too quirky . maybe something with a time warp or a weatherman .\nincreasing numbers of films starring women as the action heroes are being produced . these are celebrated by artemis women in action film festival which honours women who work as actors , stuntwomen , and directors in action films . geena davis institute on gender in media works to document the onscreen time and representation in women in all film types with a view to improving the equality of work for actresses . analysis of the lines spoken in action films shows many recent films in this genre are dominated by male dialogue .

[ 43 ]\nin 2012 , they were fresh off the success of their first musical , matilda , and they wanted groundhog day to be their next adaptation . warchus knew that rubin had been tinkering with a musical version of the film for years ( partly for fun ; partly because that was one of the rights he hadn\u2019t signed away to columbia pictures ) . but they had a hunch that rubin had to be approached cautiously .\nbarry thomas ( jonathan silverman ) is a bored office worker that would rather be at the bar ordering shots than sitting at his desk trying to avoid doing any form of work at all costs . one day he gets up , his the snooze button on his radio alarm clock , brushes his teeth , has breakfast , stops his neighbour\u2019s son from getting hit by a car while playing basketball , late to work and berated by his uptight boss anne jackson ( robin barlett ) just like any other morning . he is very attracted to a fellow co - worker lisa fredericks ( helen slater ) , but never has the courage to talk or even make eye contact with her , something his best friend howard richter ( jeremy piven ) loves to bring up at any given moment . after work that very same day he sees lisa murdered outside the office building . he decides to go to the bar and drink heavily to deal with the shock . while at home asleep he receives an electrical shock at 12 : 01 . the next day however the events of the previous day are repeated and barry is the only one aware of this and must find a way to prevent the murder of lisa and figure out what is causing this time loop or be stuck in it forever .\nin august 2016 , the musical opened in london to mostly rave reviews . for rubin , the process of writing groundhog day for the second ( maybe third ? ) time was a kind of vindication , a do - over . where hollywood had mostly disposed of him by the time shooting began on the film , minchin and warchus saw him as a vital component all the way through workshops , rehearsals , and opening night .\nthis guy has shown up in so many things and perhaps best known from\nthat 70s show\n, but if you ever saw 12 : 01 pm , you would have a new appreciation for his talent . this short is extremely well written about the frustrations of going through a time loop over and over for an endless eternity . in the process , he experiences so many things that we may take for granted . during one of his hours , he falls in love with a young lady in the park , then as his hours begins anew , she no longer knows him . during another hour , he helps needy person who others prefer to torment . then during yet another , he sees a newspaper with an article that a scientist predicted this might happen . he calls him to discuss it , learns a little , then on the next loop he rushes to see him . when he finds that there is nothing he can do , he realizes there is no way out of his situation , so he wrestles a gun from a security guard and blows his own brains out only to find himself standing back on that same corner at the end of the hour as he has and always will . kurtwood smith delivers the pain and frustration like no one else could . this short made me a big fan of his . if you get a chance , watch this short ! it ' s truly a 10 .\nthe film had been a solid success when it came out but not a phenomenon ; roger ebert gave it three stars . but as years passed , it seemed to gain resonance . the idea of a time loop became a standard trope in movies and television , and the term \u201cgroundhog day\u201d itself became vernacular for any experience that seemed endlessly to repeat . rubin\u2019s friends would call him up excitedly whenever they heard someone use it , until it became so common that they had to stop .\ndisaster film - having elements of thriller and sometimes science fiction films , the main conflict of this genre is some sort of natural or artificial disaster , such as floods , earthquakes , hurricanes , volcanoes , pandemics , etc . examples include independence day , daylight , earthquake , geostorm , 2012 , [ 27 ] the day after tomorrow , [ 28 ] poseidon , the towering inferno , dante ' s peak , deep impact , volcano , the core , armageddon , twister , and san andreas .\ni found this one on youtube , parts 1 , 2 , and 3 posted separately . apparently it had been shown as a half - hour movie on tv . the story is very analogous to that of groundhog day . instead of repeating the same day , starting at 6am , in this one veteran actor kurtwood smith plays myron castleman , who repeats the same hour , starting at 12 : 01pm . but other than that , what he experiences is very close to the bill murray movie . you can do a lot less in 60 minutes ! so the frustration builds up a lot quicker . in the murray movie eventually he finds a way out , quite passively simply by becoming a better person with a normal ego . in this one , with\nonly\nabout 40 repeats so far , we don ' t find out if there is a way out . the other key difference is that an explanation of sorts is presented . something about a collision between matter and antimatter , as predicted by a scientist who coincidentally works a very short distance from myron . nothing really novel here , if you have seen groundhog day , and the acting and filming are of not particularly high quality . but for fans of groundhog day , as i am , an interesting film short ."]}

- about genetically designed twin siblings who discover each other at the age of 35 - - works out just fine , thanks largely to great chemistry between the two stars . despite a certain amount of rough action and tension , twins really gets a lift from the palpable innocence reitman develops , and the female costars ( chloe webb and kelly preston ) bring some interesting texture of their own . this is a film that walked the tightrope of a high concept and completely succeeded . to see how easy it is to stumble in a similar situation , check out devito and schwarzenegger in reitman ' s junior . -

winning actor who could coast this film if he had a decent script ; the idea isn ' t a bad one ; and even arnie has considerable charm \u0097 but producer and director reitman ( ghostbusters ) simply fails to make the most of what he has . there are some good jokes\u0097like when arnie sees a poster for rambo , tests his biceps against stallone ' s , and walks off laughing\u0097but one joke every half an hour simple isn ' t enough\na tall and muscular but mild - mannered man and a short , corpulent loose cannon discover that they are actually twins , their strange differences the result of a genetics experiment gone wrong . this popular comedy brings the brothers together and forces them to deal with their divergent personalities .\nthe money was not available to pay to the two main stars and the director their normal fees . they decided to split a percentage of the gross profits between the three of them and ended up making more than they would have made taking their fees upfront because the film was such a hit .\nthis film often regarded as arnold schwarzenegger ' s comedy debut - which is wrong . arnold starts as comedy actor in hercules in new york ( 1969 ) . happy anniversary and goodbye ( 1974 ) , scavenger hunt ( 1979 ) and the villain ( 1979 ) - also comedies that he made .\n\u201ctwins\u201d is not a great comedy - it\u2019s not up there with reitman\u2019s \u201c ghostbusters \u201d and devito is not as funny as he was in \u201c ruthless people \u201d and \u201c wise guys \u201d - but it is an engaging entertainment with some big laughs and a sort of warm goofiness .\nthe story , though not exactly original , has potential . genetic scientists , in an attempt to create the perfect human being , make a cocktail of sperm from six supermen and impregnate one superwoman . she has the baby , but then out pops another ! it ' s twins ! but the twins aren ' t equally endowed with beauty , brains , biceps etc . \u0097 no , one of them has the lot , the other has zilch . one is arnold schwarzenegger , and the other is danny devito : beauty ( if you like that sort of thing ) and the beast .\nby then , schwarzenegger was in high demand , and his earnings continued to rise . from the late 1980s until the early 1990s , he enjoyed a great deal of commercial success not only with action movies , but also with comedies like\ntwins\nand\nkindergarten cop\nalongside danny devito .\narnold schwarzenegger was the original choice for judge dredd ( 1995 ) , but schwarzenegger ' s former rival and best friend sylvester stallone was cast . in the film , judge joseph dredd and his brother and nemesis rico discover they were both created in a genetic experiment . julius and vincent were created in a genetic experiment .\nthen : & apos ; st . elsewhere & apos ; star bonnie bartlett played mary ann benedict , who participates in a genetics experiment to produce the perfect child . when she gives birth to twins , she is told that julius died , but not told anything about vincent & apos ; s existence .\nthen : arnold schwarzenegger , known best for his roles in action flicks like & apos ; the terminator & apos ; and & apos ; predator , & apos ; switched things up a bit for this comedy film , playing julius benedict , an intellectual man who discovers he has a very unlikely long - lost twin brother .\nhorror film , motion picture calculated to cause intense repugnance , fear , or dread . horror films may incorporate incidents of physical violence and psychological terror ; they may be studies of deformed , disturbed , psychotic , or evil characters ; stories of terrifying monsters or malevolent animals ; or mystery thrillers that use atmosphere to build suspense . \u2026\njeremy irons plays twins elliot and beverly mantle , brilliant gynecologists who specialize in fertility and are so unusually close that they routinely pretend to be each other . after they are visited by claire niveau ( genevi\u00e8ve bujold ) , a famous actress with a deformed uterus , elliot pretends to be beverly and seduces claire . she ends up falling for beverly , beginning a kinky love affair with him and sharing not only her body , but also her drug habit . the drugs release the madness that has always been inside the twins and although elliot tries to cover for beverly , the situation rapidly spirals into drug addiction , insanity and death .\narnold schwarzenegger had a lot of fun working on the film . the part he had the most fun filming , was when his character drives vincent ' s ( devito ' s ) car into the supermarket parking lot on two wheels . in the close - up shots of schwarzenegger , his reaction and the looks on his face were genuine .\nalongside co - star danny devito , schwarzenegger played the genetically superior twin brother of a small - time crook ( who also happens to be small ) . the film , which was directed by comedy master ivan reitman ( ghostbusters ) , was a huge box - office success and led the way for other comic roles later in schwarzenegger ' s career .\nthat this 1988 movie contains 2 sympathetic , non - stereotypical gay characters says a lot about the movie makers . there seems to have been some real care taken over what could ' ve ended up a cheaply made throwaway farce . lily tomlin and bette midler are simply superb in their roles as separated twins and in my view out - do jeremy irons in that year ' s other twin movie ` dead ringers ' - and he was fantastic . this film has been criticised for not delivering laughs where you would predict them based on the film ' s premise . but is that a fault ? big business builds comedic tension early on and sustains it throughout by clever use of supporting characters and the subtle way that from their scenes with them we learn about the 4 leads . the eternal dilemma of nature v nurture is portrayed in a fairly non - preachy way coupled with a similar approach to town v country . to do this in a farce containing 4 romances plus all the rest is a tall order for any moviemaker but this rich premise is cleverly negotiated by jim abrahams & the writers with only a handful of misfires . now i ' m not one for romances but the studly fred ward , who was unbelievably 46 years old at the time , as the whiter than white roone dimmick , manages an amazing feat - his meeting and courting of lily tomlin in the space of a few minutes is carried off quite plausibly by this accomplished and underrated actor and is a joy to behold . 10 out of 10 and a real shame that there is no more from these 2 writers .\nthe roadside cafe , with the beautiful valley in the background is on hwy 150 ( the road to taos ski valley ) , northeast of taos , actually in valdez / arroyo seco . it had been a gas station years ago , converted by film crew to ' cafe ' for the movie . the valley in the background is the entrance to taos ski valley .\nfollowing a few more flops , schwarzenegger became the terminator once again , bringing his heavy austrian accent to the now cult role . schwarzenegger claims that he kept up his accent on purpose in order to please his fans . after\nt3 ,\nhe retired from the film world for a while to serve as the governor of california for two terms from 2003 to 2011 .\ni don ' t have a whole lot to say about this film beyond that it ' s a fairly typical 80s / 90s zany comedy elevated by performances from arnold schwarzenegger and danny devito . what it lacks in its scattershot screenplay , it makes up for with charismatic performances from the leads and some amusing bits of goofy 80s comedy . the premise of arnie and devito ' s characters being twins who are reunited after being separated from each other and their mother at birth , following a dubious experiment to create a\nphysically , mentally , and spiritually advanced human being\nis fairly ludicrous , and the humor that stems from it is as well . the jokes are largely pretty cheesy and i didn ' t find the majority of the gags to\u2026\nthe twins forge a permanent bond , marry a pair of good - looking , good - hearted women and each gets a set of twins of their own . mary ann , having long believed her only son died at birth , discovers she actually has two and gets the chance to reconnect with them . meanwhile webster , a faux affably evil murdering bastard who killed the two men who hired him and offed beatroot , gets violently crushed by a chain - hook and a long length of metal chains . dr . traven , who isn ' t a villain but still acted like a bitter old crank and a jackass , gets sucker - punched for his own bad deeds ( because at least he didn ' t kill anyone ) .\ndanny devito and arnold schwarzenegger play twins ( the result of a government genetic experiment ) separated at birth . while one is the ' perfect ' human specimen , the other is a pint - sized car - thief . when reunited many years later , they both teach each other a thing or two as they set out to find their mother and avoid a hitman .\njames cameron ' s\nt2\nwas the first hollywood production to cost more than $ 100 million -

well , there aren\u2019t too many . however , if you live here ( or if you\u2019ve taken a film class at keene state college ) , you won\u2019t fail to hear about the state\u2019s several claims to fame .\ntime for more vodka . i\u2019m sick of diet 7 - up so i\u2019m mixing my vodka with club soda . i\u2019m drunk enough to the point where vodka does not taste like vodka , so really i\u2019m just drinking club soda that happens to have vodka in it . does that make sense ?\ni like how the italian family names in romeo & juliet weren\u2019t italian enough so they changed them . can\u2019t wait for more of this , hopefully i\u2019ll be off my no - alcohol - diet for the next one\u2026and hopefully i\u2019ll read it at night so i don\u2019t look like a sad drunk .\nmy first communion party in 1964 was at luigi\u2019s \u2013 that s what it was called - restaurant in white plains road . i remember it so clearly cause it was a special occasion restaurant for our family . i remember seeing it in the movie when it first came out . loved that place !"]}

fantastic actors ( led by dame maggie smith ) , brilliant scenery , a beautifully composed musical score and a thrilling plot . at some points it is funny , others sad or incredibly emotional , mysterious , and even a little spooky . mary lennox , a spoilt ten year old girl and daughter of a colonel and his wife leads an unhappy life in india , until all of a sudden she and all families connected with a calamity within india must leave the country . thus she is entrusted to the care of her emotionally disturbed uncle , and in his household and the wild outdoors she begins to turn into someone beautiful . that is essentially the main plotline within the book , so even though there are a few things missed out , this film is just right , and a lovely little treasure to keep for all time .\nhe then made his feature film debut in the indie flick the virgin ( 1999 ) , followed by a guest appearance in the hbo television series sex and the city ( 1998 ) . next , he played a college boy in the feature film super troopers ( 2001 ) , then landed small roles in three more indie films : love the hard way ( 2001 ) starring adrien brody , xx / xy ( 2002 ) and garmento ( 2002 ) . his career took off when he landed lead roles in two films given wide release : grind ( 2003 ) and cabin fever ( 2002 ) . kern has also appeared on abc\u2019s wonderland ( 2000 ) .\nwelcome to the gotham independent film awards press room , where you ' ll find materials and resources to enhance your coverage of the awards . for more information / press credentials to cover this year\u2019s ceremony , please contact : clare anne darragh : clareanne @ urltoken , lina plath : lina @ urltoken , stephanie davidson : stephanie @ urltoken\ngotham audience award \u2013 the nominees for this award are comprised of the films nominated for best feature , best documentary , and breakthrough director . the winner is chosen through online voting in november by current ifp members . the ifp gotham audience award will be presented to the film\u2019s credited director ( s ) and producer ( s ) .\nsanta barbara , calif . \u2014 it was a rare treat for those who managed tickets to thursday night\u2019s presentation of the maltin modern master award to johnny depp to kick off the 31st annual santa barbara film festival\u2019s roll call of fetes this year . after all , the \u201cblack mass\u201d star never does this kind of thing , [ \u2026 ]\nin 1990 , depp starred in the john waters & apos ; 50s - kitsch musical cry - baby ( 1990 ) , which became a cult hit and succeeded in changing his image . that same year , he received an opportunity to exhibit his versatility as an actor in the titular role of tim burton & apos ; s fantasy film , edward scissorhands . the movie not only established depp as an a - list actor , but it also grossed more than $ 54 million at the box office . following the film & apos ; s success , depp carved a niche for himself as a serious , somewhat dark , idiosyncratic performer , consistently selecting roles that surprise critics and audiences alike .\nhowever , the hearing was revealed to be a trap . ser loras swore he had never slept with a man \u2013 a claim supported by his sister , queen margaery . then the high sparrow unveiled his key witness \u2013 the squire with whom loras had canoodled in full view of margaery . both queen and knight had lied under holy oath and off they went to the dungeons .\ntommen , tommen ,\nmargaery cried to her king . cersei ' s little boy was too stunned to respond and the kingsguard watched in silence as the sparrows hauled his new bride away . a ghost of a smile danced around cersei ' s lips .\nas the film opens , two dinosaur experts ( sam neill and laura dern ) arrive at the park , along with a mathematician played by jeff goldblum whose function in the story is to lounge about uttering vague philosophical imprecations . also along are attenborough ' s grandchildren , and a lawyer , who is the first to be eaten by a dinosaur .\nscreenwriters ted elliott and terry rossio pitched the idea for the film 10 years before its 2003 release . one of the things that they made sure to include from the original pitch was the idea of cursed gold and ghost stories . according to producer jerry bruckheimer , the paranormal element is what really set it apart from previous pirate - themed films .\nfranco zeffirelli ( 70 ) was born in florence , the illegitimate son of a fashion designer . he fought as a partisan during the second world war ;

out war with the us forces will result in the land no longer being under sioux control ) . they murder and make it look like indians were responsible . man called horse helps maintain calm among the tribe , but when tragedy befalls him , it ' s left to his son koda and koda ' s lover , a crow named red wing , to devise a strategy to keep the argonauts at bay and the black hills sacred .\na man called horse\u201d is lord john morgan ( richard harris ) , an english aristocrat who is captured by sioux indians in the course of a hunting trip through the dakotas in the early 19th century . lord john not only survives his initial captivity but he goes on to prove his manhood so well that he eventually becomes a great white chief , the sort of superhero exalted by ameri can romantics from james fenimore cooper to edgar rice burroughs .\nto boil the plot down , the premise is\nwhite man gets bored with european life , goes to visit red brethren , only to find they ' ve lost their spirit and wildness . said white man then shows red man way back to former ways .\nrealistic ? seriously doubtful .\ngraduating to films in the 1960s , chambers built a reputation as a specialist , often working uncredited to produce ears and fingers for chopping off in dramatic scenes . he created false teeth for marlon brando in several films , a false chest for richard harris for the famous indian initiation ceremony in a man called horse ( 1970 ) , in which the actor is hoisted into the air with pins in his chest , and a whole series of disguises for kirk douglas in the list of adrian messenger ( 1963 ) .\ngeorgakas , dan .\nthey have not spoken : american indians in film .\ni remember this being a very popular film , you\u2019re right about how it seems to have slipped off the radar .\na story of an art dealer who , leads a double life as a martial arts warrior .\nthe booklet includes detailed notes on the film and its music by jeff bond and lukas kendall , film stills selected by designer joe sikoryak , and the original lp liner notes .\nsandos , james and larry burgess .\nfilm as mirror , film as mask : the hollywood indian versus native americans in ' tell them willie boy is here .

in this context , rosenman\u2019s score is a breath of fresh air , representing a sincere attempt to do justice to sioux culture . he uses the orchestra to drive and shape the native american - flavored vocals and percussion in a way that had virtually no antecedent in mainstream american films .\nwestern picture following the plight of a horribly wronged tribe of sioux indians - and the quest of the one man who would lead them to victory . lord john morgan ( richard harris ) , disillusioned with the ' civilised ' aristocracy of england , returns to the american west in search of the vital and rugged life he once led . but finding only destruction , the only way for the yellow hand tribe to fight back lies with morgan , a man they call horse .\ntouted at the time of its release as a comparatively enlightened western , a man called horse now looks like well - researched sensationalism\u2014and is , admittedly , all the better for it . after all , despite the plethora of savage inaccuracies to be imposed on north american natives in film ( the dubious scalping motif among them ) , tribal violence and mutilation were certainly not absent from these cultures . but what\u2019s dramatically omitted in the average ford , hathaway , or boetticher are the reverential niceties that might give the bloodshed context ; even the complexly explored motives of the searchers \u2018s comanches are tethered to european concepts of property ownership and vendetta .\nmany critics believe dicaprio\u2019s performance as glass in the new film will bag him his first best actor oscar .\nbenson , melanie r .\nthe native screen : american indians in contemporary southern film .\nin :\ni found a man called horse to be a very intriguing film . i can\u2019t say how accurate it is in its depiction of the sioux and their rituals , but it is still fascinating . i appreciated that we as the audience are left to decipher and interpret things right along with harris\u2019 character . once morgan is captured , the only english we get is the conversations between morgan and baptiste . there are no subtitles for us to understand the sioux language . we also don\u2019t get any of the sioux characters being able to miraculously speak and comprehend english in a very short time . in many ways we are discovering and learning to understand the sioux right along with morgan .\nby riding a dark horse into the history books , charismatic female jockey , arielle lasalle , spares her father from financial ruin , but in turn brings a killer to his door . bred true , former dubai racing celebrity , napoleon , should have been a prolific . . .\narrived on time and as described . a long time since i saw this film and i wasn ' t disappointed on seeing it again . wonderful .\nant - man and the wasp soars to $ 76 million on opening weekend . . . beating its prequel by $ 19 million\nwith unprecedented cooperation between the production and members of the rosebud sioux reservation , producer sandy howard tried to give the film an authentic cultural presentation ( although the lack of native american records prior to 1870 made it a challenging task ) . a corresponding attempt at authenticity was made in the film\u2019s musical score .\nboth movies were inspired by the real - life story of 19th century trapper and frontiersman hugh glass . pictured : a scene from harris ' s movie man in the wilderness\nstill , while the horse becomes a man , the man never becomes anything more than a fleshy construct for our pleasure . this crowd - appeasing simplicity , however , obscures how the male body is religion for a man called horse \u2014and how this piety often involves pain without practical purpose . when harris\u2019s character knifes and scalps a warrior from an enemy tribe , he takes no joy in it ; it\u2019s a survivalist mechanism . when he\u2019s raised to heaven by the manboobs , it\u2019s sublime exultation ; he \u201cblacks out\u201d and then wakes up , sated , as through from an orgasm coma . ( the sex scene with his squaw wife moments later is flaccid by comparison . ) and it\u2019s not the pain itself that\u2019s crucial to this ritual but the manner in which it underscores both the durability and pliancy of human flesh . harris will heal , but he\u2019ll always have grisly markings across his bare and otherwise supple chest\u2014like little loving and reminding bites from nature\u2019s dust -

changing collection of art from all over the world . my favorite section of the museum is the section devoted to western art . one painting that always draws my attention is one that is pretty small , but depicts an unusual image . it shows native american warriors suspended from the ceiling of a ceremonial hut by ropes which have been hooked into their chests . it\u2019s very painful looking . the description of the artwork points out that this may be one of the most controversial paintings in museum\u2019s collection . there was always something familiar to me about the image , though . i pictured a similar scene on the cover of a vhs box . the movie that was tucked in the back of my mind was 1970\u2019s a man called horse .\nthese sorts of jealous conflicts between ethnic or national groups can happen anywhere . the city of beijing banned the film memoirs of a geisha when both the chinese and japanese were offended by chinese actresses playing traditional japanese geishas . the actresses , gong li and zhang ziyi , were called traitors by both japanese and chinese people . i somehow think this reaction had little to do with the quality of their performances .\nafter a cavalry patrol is ambushed by the cheyenne , the two survivors , a soldier and a woman , must reach the safety of the nearest fort .\nwithout a lot of understandable dialogue , the film does a lot with the visuals\u2026which are both beautiful and brutal . of course , the centerpiece moment of the film is the sun vow ritual . though not particularly gruesome in its depiction , it\u2019s fair to say that it\u2019s not for the squeamish either . the atmosphere of the scene is quite haunting\u2026a dark , hazy room lit only by small blades of sunlight coming through slivers in the roof . even more ominous are the glances shared between harris and iron eyes cody ( yep , the crying chief from the keep america beautiful commercials ) in the sequence . that man had a very accurate name . somehow without speaking a word his amazing face seems to be communicating both comfort and foreboding to harris . then , as harris twirls suspended mid air , the film turns slightly psychedelic as he has a series of visions . strangely , this journey into a lava lamp doesn\u2019t feel at all out of place .\ni saw this film when it was first released and have watched it a number of times since then . gripping in it\u2019s story telling and very close to the heart . this is not s cowboy and indian story , it\u2019s a life story .\nmeanwhile , natty\u2014called throughout the film by his nickname , \u201chawkeye\u201d\u2014looks on , rooting for chingachgook , who raised him as his own son alongside uncas . natty has been educated in the ways of the settlers , speaking both english and delaware , but chose to live with his mohican family , making a living as a hunter and trapper . in cooper\u2019s novel , he describes himself as \u201ca man with no cross . \u201d no world is his by birth , which makes him believe all the more intensely in the one he\u2019s chosen . looking model - handsome and behaving with sensitivity and lofty principles to match his strength in combat , daniel day - lewis turns him into an example of perfected humanity , a blend of cultures that improves on both contributing vintages .\ncredit must also go to cinematographer owen roizman for the acclaimed look of the film . roizman earned a lifetime achievement award from the american society of cinematographers in 1997 for his work on such films as\ncut to the present day . though his raspy voice has provided the film\u2019s narration , we haven\u2019t seen aged jack crabb since the beginning of the film . he reappears looking even more exhausted than usual from his storytelling , and angry at having to relive it for a condescending academic looking for stories of life amongst the \u201cprimitive\u201d plains indians . \u201cget out , \u201d he rasps . and then the film shows him sitting there , amid the tile and metal of a nursing home , in a civilized world made possible by the military campaigns and broken promises of men who share his skin color , remembering again a lost moment of connection on the american frontier .\nthirty - five years ago , few a - list movie stars had the unbridled chutzpah of richard harris . one of eight children born to a limerick , ireland flour miller , harris made a splash in the united kingdom ( and was nominated for an academy award\u00ae ) for playing the angry young leading man of lindsay anderson ' s\na great step in that direction is that today , more american indian film makers are finding ways to tell their stories from their unique perspectives . a superb forum for these films is the american indian film festival , headed by the tireless and talented michael smith , which has been running for almost 40 years . it ' s the oldest and largest festival of it ' s kind in the world .\nby contrast , the sioux of a man called horse hack off their fingers and lance their muscle - y midriffs out of uncanny respect for their material selves ; both of these are grieving rituals that enforce the body as one\u2019s most holy and valuable possession , and thus the only object one can manipulate in order to express extreme emotion . granted , director elliot silverstein and writer jack de witt aren\u2019t exactly hip to the spiritual dimension of these acts . ( rather than invoking the great mystery , these sioux pray to the sun like druids . ) but there\u2019s something accurate all the same in their flimsily pornographic rendering of male - physique torture . the sioux gauntlet becomes an eerily hallowed , corporeal - for - the - sake - of - corporeal experience , one that perhaps mistakenly nails the vague , energetic dichotomy of body and spirit in native worship . ( and the myriad of creative ways the film finds for obstructing richard harris\u2019s man junk from view doesn\u2019t hurt the teasing rhythm either . )\nan old squaw acknowl edges the death of her son by slicing off several fingers . harris , whose performance is mostly one of endurance , shows himself worthy of an indian bride , by allowing himself to be suspended by ropes attached animal bones that are , in turn , stuck through the skin of his chest . i would thus hesitate to rec ommend \u201ca man called horse , \u201d which opened yester day at the astor and loew ' s orpheum theaters , to small children , the audience for whom it was probably in tended . on second thought , the children of my generation played with tomahawks , and i can ' t remember that we ever actually succeeded in scalping\nskinwalkers ( tv , 2002 ) directed by chris eyre . cast : wes studi , adam beach , saginaw grant , michael greyeyes , jon proudstar , alex rice , shiela tousey , misty upham , noah watts . the navajo tribal police investigate the murder of a medicine man . at the crime scene is a partially completed pictograph . one clue sends a chill through a young officer : the arrow used in the killing has a tip of human bone , a sign that a navajo spirit - - a\nskinwalker\n- - is at work . 97 min . dvd 2974 credits and other information from the internet movie database\ndreamkeeper ( tv , 2003 ) directed by steve barron . cast : august schellenberg , eddie spears , gil birmingham , sheila tousey , nathan chasing horse , chaske spencer , gloria eshkibok , kimberly norris guerrero , sean wei mah . teenage shane chasing horse is a member of the dog soldiers gang on the pine ridge reservation . his mom asks him to take his grandpa old pete chasing horse to the all nations storytelling powwow in santa fe , nm . as they drive across south dakota in a beat - up old ford , grandpa tells stories about magical lakota legends which are re - enacted with the help of computer - generated images . 180 min .

department of foreign affairs republic of the philippines | facebook\nhello , i just saw your post on adieu philipine . my mother is yveline cery and she is always surprised how often this film is mentioned in discussions , festivals ect . . . so nice to see the appreciation for it , after all these years . regards , laurent\nadieu philippine is on the one hand , chaotic and fun , and is a landmark film in many ways ; it is unfortunately , however , a bit sophomoric and rozier ' s inexperience as a beginning director shows . on the one hand , some of the visuals are beautiful and perfectly pitched : the lyrical interludes between scenes , such as the two girls walking along a summery paris street set to the rhythm of a tango , are nearly perfect . but often the soundtrack swings into the territory of the garish : too much pop , overly loud \u2013 you can barely hear the girls talking in the restaurant in a scene which should have been very naturalistic \u2013 and there are huge chunks of the movie , especially after they return from the \u2018adventure\u2019 hunting down the deadbeat producer \u2013 which seem badly edited and misplaced . what was up with that very long hula - esque dancing sequence with the two girls in the holiday camp , for example ? it didn\u2019t contribute to the atmosphere and seemed to me stylistically gratuitous , dull .\npositively sizzles with energy and authenticity throughout , and it genuinely does feel like rozier has somehow managed to distil the whole of the french new wave into a single , one hundred minute feature . the obvious technical imperfections add to the film ' s striking impressionistic feel - rozier ' s intention clearly was not to make a polished piece of cinema , but to seize life as it is , in a similar ' sur le vif ' manner to the painters monet and renoir , showing us not just the vitality and insouciance of youth but also its trepidations and uncertainties . the main characters ' sojourn in corsica is shot with breathtaking artistry and is devastatingly poignant as we see all too clearly what it signifies : the last days of youth slowly fading from view , never to return . the final shot leaves us mourning the fact that michel ' s sweet summer is over - he will soon be on his way to algeria , to face the horrible realities of war in a strange and hostile land . the bitterest adieu of all is the one which we must bid to our youth .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nmichel ( jean - claude aimini ) works as a technician at a television station where one day he picks up two starstruck teenage girls liliane and juliette ( yveline cery and stefania sabatini ) , and begins casual affairs with both of them . at first , neither realise that the other is seeing michel and they independently fall in love with him . the film follows several successive dates and experiences he has with them separately and together ; however when the girls discover that he has been seeing them both , jealousies and petty arguments begin to tear their triumvirate relationship apart .\nmichel goes to corsica to escape the girls and to his increasingly complicated life . they follow him , however , to his holiday camp and convince him to chase after a film director who owes him money , who also happens to be filming nearby . they travel by car to search for the film director , but their close proximity now only exacerbates their romantic situation and michel finds himself flip - flopping between the girls as their jealousy and arguments mount . however , like many youthful love affairs , the situation ends in limbo , with the girls standing on the quayside and michel aboard a boat bound for algeria and national service .\njacques rozier is one of the lesser known of the nouvelle vague directors , and this , his first feature , is probably his best - known work . using improvisation and a cinema verit\u00e9 approach , he endeavoured to bring a sense of realism to his stories , most of which , like this one , are concerned with the mixed up lives of teenagers .\noverall , though , an enjoyable effort and impressive for a first feature film . there are some gorgeous mis - en - scene , somehow simultaneously imbued with both a kind of quiet reflectivity and a buzzing adolescent energy . the scene with the wasps on the pebble beach is lovely \u2013\nis fantastic at capturing the naturalness and vibrancy of youth and at evoking a sense of real speech ( although perhaps because much of the script was improvised ) . in any case , this is real youth , not a nostalgic rumination on youth . i\u2019m not so sure i buy into the relationship between the two girls ( they seem quite quick to become chummy with each other , for no particular reason , only moments after fighting bitterly over the same man ) , but perhaps their fickleness is a perfect fit for the kind of lovely , chaotic , capricious spirit of this film .\nthis video is no longer available because the youtube account associated with this video has been terminated .\ni know this scene is already in youtube . maybe i could justify me on the quality here , but being really sincere : i couldn ' t care less because the whole youtube could be only this two girls walking . that ' s all .\nurltoken no longer supports internet explorer 9 or earlier . please upgrade your browser .\nthis hungarian film is a careful , compassionate and beautifully acted character drama with a social conscience .\nin this pitch -

spirited film that hasn ' t received anywhere near the acclaim of the contemporaneous early offerings of the more famous new wave filmmakers . it was the first film of jacques rozier , shot in 1960 and only finished in 1962 due to production difficulties . though rozier is far from a household name in comparison to the other new wave directors \u2014 indeed , after this film failed he didn ' t make another feature for over ten years \u2014 this debut deserves to be mentioned along with\nas a remarkably assured and joyous first leap into filmmaking . it ' s a loose and improvisational film , shot like many of the other early new wave films on the fly , in the streets and anywhere a camera could be quickly set up . frequently , in the outdoor shots , passersby openly gape at the camera , stopping to stare , and rozier mirrors this acknowledgment of the film ' s artifice in the metafictional , semi - documentary sequences that take place at a tv studio , where the film ' s central character michel ( jean - claude aimini ) works as a camera assistant . the film ' s credits roll , in staggering stop / start fashion , over a sequence set in the tv studio , where everyone is bustling around , rolling cameras frantically around the set , punching the sound in and out as they film a jazz combo performing . in the midst of this chaos , michel fixes on a pair of cute girls gawking outside , liliane ( yveline c\u00e9ry ) and juliette ( stefania sabatini ) , and invites them in to watch . indeed , whenever the tv crew is filming , there are always people standing by and watching , and at one point michel stumbles into a shot , walking across the frame of a melodramatic period costume drama , looking stupidly into the camera in his white t - shirt and jeans , an intruder from the modern era , from outside the narrative , like all the random people who rozier ' s camera captures in the streets around his protagonists .\nthat loose sensibility winds through the film , giving it a jazzy , spirited vibe as michel flirts with both girls , trying to decide who he wants more , as the girls , inseparable best friends , engage in a competition that ' s initially friendly and joking , but soon gives way to jealousy and hurt feelings . this love triangle drama , played lightly but with real feeling , plays out against the constant threat of the algerian war : michel knows that he will soon be summoned for the draft , and that promise of the future lingers over the entire film as an inescapable climax . the girls try to get him out of the draft , but their plans quickly peter out and michel , for his part , seems fatalist about the whole thing , viewing his future service as an unavoidable destiny . with this fate hanging over him , michel hangs out with his buddies , buys a car with them to pick up girls , plots to break into commercial filmmaking , and finally decides to go on vacation while waiting to be called up for the military .\nthe film has a casual , episodic feel that befits its amateur shoot and its mostly inexperienced cast of non - actors , the bulk of whom never acted in another film before or after this one . it feels like a film of observation , of documentary , observing the life of this young military - age man in the months before he ' s sent to war . the film ' s joyful tone and light sensibility thus seem fragile , subject to shattering at any moment , and there ' s a current of mournfulness running through everything that happens , as though the film is simultaneously a celebration of and an elegy for the freedom and serenity of youth . the film ' s characters are young and innocent , and their flirtations and their dalliances are inflected with that innocence ; michel genuinely can ' t decide which girl he likes best , and indeed he seems to like them best together , while the girls try to tell themselves that they ' re not taking any of this too seriously , that it ' s all just a game . in any event , their friendship and their affairs seem to have an expiration date as michel ' s impending enlistment approaches .\nnevertheless , rozier keeps the tone predominantly airy and fun , with a strong thread of humor . liliane ' s employer , the producer pachala ( vittorio caprioli ) , is especially humorous as a parody of the commercial aspects of the cinema \u2014 both literally , in the sense that he makes advertisements , and metaphorically as an icon of all the money - men and dishonest manipulators serving as middle - men in the film industry . rozier had his own troubles with producers \u2014\nlanguished unfinished for nearly two years due to conflicts over money , and only the intervention of rozier ' s famous friend godard could marshal the production support necessary to finish the film \u2014 and his mockery of pachala is a hilarious , biting commentary on the intersections of art and commerce .\npachala ( played , perhaps not coincidentally , by one of the few professional performers in the cast , an italian actor who worked with rossellini and fellini ) fancies himself an artist , but in fact he just makes lousy commercials and rips off his collaborators , disappearing whenever he owes some money . a shoot for an arctic - themed refrigerator commercial with a flimsy igloo is a comedy of errors , reflecting pachala ' s odd choices of details to get concerned with : he shrugs off the fact that there ' s a palm plant in the supposedly snowy set , but gets fixated on the store owner ' s refusal to remove his tie while posing as an eskimo . even better is the scene where he shows a detergent sponsor the rushes for another commercial the girls starred in , and there doesn ' t seem to be a usable take \u2014 one where the girls aren ' t giggling uncontrollably or knocking over detergent boxes \u2014 in the whole reel , as pachala sinks lower and lower in his seat next to his corporate sponsor . later , pachala shows up again as a producer of\nphoto - romans ,\nnarrative sequences of still photos , with a sleazy interest in baring the breasts of his actresses and a corresponding disinterest in the niceties of historical recreation ; he just shrugs it off when modern boats show up in the backgrounds of his photos of supposedly ancient subjects . he ' s a hilarious character , a target of rich mockery every time he shows up on screen .\nare contrasted against the joyful , of - the - moment attitudes of the young people \u2014 and against rozier ' s own partially improvised , free - wheeling methods . pachala represents the old ways , the tradition , the closed system of money and patronage in which young artisans like michel and his friends are simply exploited and cheated . the film ' s tribute to the young is thus a tribute to the new wave itself , in opposition to those vested interests , to the cheesy production values of the costume dramas that michel works on or the silly commercials and trashy quasi - porn of pachala .\nand the other early works of the new wave , films with life and energy in every frame .\nrozier ' s images are at times sweepingly romantic , particularly when the central trio go away on vacation to corsica \u2014 a last vacation , it seems , before adulthood and responsibility . there are so many great scenes here , so many wonderful moments , like the sequence where liliane is serenaded by a hitchhiker and slow - dances with him , silhouetted against a foggy valley with the moon a distant glowing coin in the hazy night . there ' s also a meditative boat ride with the three principals filmed from behind , their faces towards the sun . more often , they ' re facing the camera , and their faces say a lot , even in the scenes where rozier \u2014 who used primitive sound equipment and post - dubbed almost everything \u2014 omits the dialogue from the soundtrack . the faces of the girls , especially , are expressive and unforgettable , ranging from their giggly camaraderie and sly smiles of complicity to their moments of melancholy quiet and pensiveness . everyone gives endearing amateur performances , witty and vibrant , and there ' s a sense of playfulness in all of the actors , as well as in the jagged camerawork and uneven sound , which mixes on - the - street verit\u00e9 with studio dubbing . the film has a real sense of physicality and corporeality , whether in the tv studio sequences of the first half or the seashore idyll of the second half , in which rozier potently captures the feel of the sun and the ocean , the girls in their bikinis and one - pieces , the laughter and jealous rivalry during the car rides along scenic winding roads that crawl , serpent - like , towards no place in particular .\nstill , throughout this scenic and spirited movie , a troubling scene from earlier lingers in the memory : one of michel ' s friends has just returned from the army and from algeria , and when michel asks about it , the friend simply refuses to talk about it . it ' s just a single line , a momentary pause in the midst of the young man ' s joyous homecoming , but it reverberates with all the unspoken torment of the war , all the things that these characters are so intent not to address , to erase in pleasure and play . politics enter the film explicitly only in a single scene in which michel ' s family discuss technology , china and economics in a manner very familiar from any family ' s dinner table political discussions . it has that feel of real working class people glossing over these massive international topics with their rhetoric and their insistent if incompletely informed opinions . if the rest of the film never addresses politics explicitly , never discusses the algerian war in any detail , the war and its effects on generations of young french men remain the subtext of nearly every scene . the war makes the characters ' youthful games finite , sets an end date for their flings and their destination - free wanderings , and in that respect\nis about growing up into the world , about how the political affects even those who steadfastly ignore anything political , as these characters do . more than that , though , the film is about the joy of youth , about the joy of simply\nprovides a more complete rejection of the ethos of war and death than any more explicit commentary could .\ned , i love seeing that you ' re writing about this . i haven ' t tracked it down yet ( it ' s never been very easy to find ) . but it ' s always mentioned among the crucial early new wave works , some of which are still tough to find in the states - - a couple of rozier films , and then things by jean rouch , michel deville , jacques becker , and alexandre astruc .\nthanks , jeffrey , it ' s definitely worth seeking out . there ' s a nice set of rozier ' s films out in france ( with english subtitles ) and i ' m eager to check out some more of them now ; if his later works are anywhere near as good as this then i really don ' t get why he isn ' t better known .\ned , i saw david ehrenstein last night at the quad cinemas during the 9 : 45 p . m . showing of the making of the boys in the band . mind you i didn ' t see our friend in person , but rather he was featured in the documentary , briefly speaking about the period when the film was made , about one - fifth of the way into the film . i was shocked by teh revelations on stanley kauffmann , who has always been my favorite film scribe over the years . crowley was present at a q & a that followed the preceeding show . sorry for the diversion , i will get back on track with my next comment here .\nthe film has a real sense of physicality and corporeality , whether in the tv studio sequences of the first half or the seashore idyll of the second half , in which rozier potently captures the feel of the sun and the ocean , the girls in their bikinis and one - pieces , the laughter and jealous rivalry during the car rides along scenic winding roads that crawl , serpent - like , towards no place in particular .\ned , you have me salivating over this one , which i ' ve never seen , though have heard of . that remarkable comparison with breathless and the 400 blows as a maiden effort is telling enough , but your subsequent celebration of the film ' s bevy of buffo sequences further explores the exceeding excellence which reminds me of mike leigh in ways and bresson in others . ( episodic feel , amateur shoot , non - professional actors ) and the exhilaration you speak of reminds me of renoir ' s une partie de campagne . you ' ve really peeled off the layers of this film to produce yet another masterful essay that sits with your finest . i really must seek this out pronto . no lip service here .\ni figured you for a fan of this one , david . i ' m glad you mentioned the looong goodbye of the ending , a very moving sequence that really does make it seem like the girls are waving goodbye to their youth , to their innocence , and not just to the guy they spent the summer with . the ending just keeps going , with the girls running along the rock walls to keep the ship in view , as though they ' re reluctant to let go , to let michel \u2014 and their youth \u2014 slip out of view . it ' s very touching . interesting connection to celine and julie , i can definitely see it . i know both rivette and rohmer praised the film when it first came out , and it ' s easy to see why . in various ways it complements both of their aesthetics , with its improvisation and emphasis on femininity ( michel becomes very much a secondary character in comparison to the girls ) and its obvious affection for youth . sam , it ' s definitely one to seek out ( and i bet allan has seen it and / or has a copy ) . of the names you cite , there ' s not the least trace of bresson here , but renoir and leigh are pretty good reference points . really , though , it ' s very much a new wave film in every way , and as such it fits mostly comfortably beside the early works of truffaut and godard , as well as predicting in some ways the later films of rohmer ( the summery locales , the sensuality of youth , the deceptively light mood wrapped around deeper and more melancholy themes ) . ( and thanks for the info on the david sighting ! sounds cool . )\nso glad making the boys is finally coming out . they shot me for it several years back . haven ' t seen mart in quite awhile . he ' s a swell guy , and the film shows why . especially interesting are the home movies shot at roddy mcdowell ' s beach house with judy garland and rock hudson present . it just doesn ' t get any gayer !\nlaurent , thanks so much for checking in . it ' s an extraordinary film and your mother gave a wonderful performance in it , so much so that i was startled to see that she didn ' t go on to act more .\nbonjour , excuse delayed response . she is looking to do some vo work in nyc / boston area when not in france . also may do a special screening sometime this year where she will discuss this little film once we track down rest of cast . best , laurent\nthis is in response to the poster who was told untruths about stanley kauffmann . stanley kauffmann was a great champion and friend to the lgbt community . the slam against kauffmann is absolutely false , a lie that ' s made the rounds through retelling by acolytes of the alcoholic edward albee . kauffmann argued forcefully in the nyt that gay theater artists should have exactly the same rights as straight playwrights , including the right to have gay sex scene onstage . he was a great friend to to our community . too bad people are still spreading lies about a champion to our community , beloved by lgbts including susan sontag , martin duberman , eric bentlely , among the most brilliant minds of the 20th century . don ' t believe the lies . in his reviews he argued for transgendered kids to wear dresses or jeans , their preference to school , he championed the conccept of lgbt teachers being frank with their students about their lives as lgbt cintizens in this country , in theatre he is responsible , as the village voice reported from a writer who studied with kauffmann , for hundred of lgbts jobs in theatre and film over the decades . again , please do believe the lies spread by edward albee ' s acolytes who know the truth . edward albee even wrote a letter of congratulations after kauffmann wrote his piece . edward albee got furious because he , and other critics , hated his new play , including lgbt critics . albee , severely alcoholic , blamed kauffmann for his loss of standing . he never apologized for his drunken , disgraceful behavior , nor have his acolytes . just because someone is gay , it does not follow he tells the truth . i remember reading an article in the advocate that charged penelope gilliatt with being a homophobe what a damnable lie . she wrote an essay supporting lgbt rights , including marriage and adoption in the 1950s in england . her short stories included lgbt characters . she wrote the screenplay to sunday bloody sunday , most of her best friends were gay , including playwright joe orton . but the advocate called her homophobic . . another disgraceful lie against a straight supporter . don ' t believe albee ' s acolytes . on their side , it ' s all a dirty melange of lying and character assassination .\npublished on this site , organized by the director ' s last name . the links below jump to particular points in the index .\n0 . an introduction 1 . sans soleil 2 . mulholland dr . 3 . bonjour tristesse 4 . m\u00e9nilmontant 5 . the aviator ' s wife 6 . edvard munch 7 . sink or swim 8 . naked 9 . in a lonely place 10 . three crowns of a sailor 11 . i fidanzati 12 . equinox flower 13 . alone . life wastes andy hardy 14 . eyes wide shut 15 . only angels have wings 16 . underground 17 . the silence 18 . baby doll 19 . first name : carmen 20 . in a year with 13 moons 21 . play time 22 . kiss me deadly 23 . balance beams 24 . dead ringers 25 . sunset boulevard 26 . coup de torchon 27 . three colors : blue 28 . come to daddy 29 . vendredi soir 30 . asyl 31 . holiday 32 . a walk through h 33 . 8 1 / 2 34 . the angelic conversation 35 . cach\u00e9 36 . man with a movie camera 37 . little murders 38 . sex and lucia 39 . hiroshima mon amour 40 . 9 variations on a dance theme 41 . safe 42 . the set -

fran\u00e7ois truffaut , jean - luc godard or jacques rivette - but by an unknown , first - time film maker jacques rozier , who would always remain a peripheral , almost forgotten figure of the movement and aesthetic that his debut film so perfectly epitomised . the importance of\nisn ' t that it encapsulates the french new wave , but that it reflects so much of the character of the era in which it was made . with its spontaneous celebration of youth and life , it vividly evokes the joie - de - vivre and freedom of the 1960s , but there is also an underlying and unmistakable sense of melancholia through its discrete allusions to the algerian war . as in agn\u00e8s varda ' s\n( 1964 ) , rozier ' s film leaves us with a tragic awareness of the transience of youth .\n( 1960 ) . he envisaged making a film about the war in algeria but , this being too sensitive a subject at the time , he was steered towards a more anodyne story about a young man enjoying his last few months of freedom in the company of two pretty young girls before taking up his military service . with minimal resources , rozier encountered no end of problems whilst making the film and at the end of a gruelling twelve - month shoot he was shocked to discover that he had lost the entire soundtrack for the film .\nas virtually all of the dialogue had been improvised there was no script to fall back on , and so rozier had to painstakingly reconstruct the dialogue from scratch , trying to get as near a synchronisation with the lip movements of his actors as he could . meanwhile , de beauregard had totally lost confidence in the film and sold it back to rozier , to do with it whatever he chose . two years after beginning work on the film , rozier was able to present the completed film at the cannes film festival in 1962 , where it received a rapturous welcome . despite the critical acclaim that came its way ,\nwas not a great commercial success and rozier would have difficulty financing his subsequent films . his output as a filmmaker was modest in scale but it reaffirmed his standing as one of france ' s most committed auteurs . his later films\n( 1986 ) are all significant achievements and mark rozier out as an auteur apart .\nmichel is a young technician in the fledgling tv industry and is due for military service in two months at the time of the algerian war . juliette and liliane are inseparable best friends , . . . see more \u00bb\nmultimedia san paolo s . r . l .

2000 ) , descended from samurai , made a handful of classic samurai films that had subtitled prints in the us , canada , & hawaii in the 1950s & 1960s , seen almost exclusively in ethnic movie houses , & rerun periodically until those cinemas began dying off late in the 1970s .\nfrom place to place , through stunningly beautiful landscapes . this also sets samurai films apart from westerns , which are almost always populated with more horses than people .\nthe lord of the oshi fief is killed by his trespassing neighbor , the cruel and cowardly nariatsu , son of the former shogun . but when the oshi clan is blamed for the incident and sentenced to be abolished , eleven of their best warriors decide to trade their lives for justice !\ncherry blossoms , a . k . a . \u201csakura , \u201d are an important part of japanese life , and show up throughout samurai vendetta . the original japanese title of this film is \u201chakuoki , \u201d which can be translated as \u201ca chronicle of pale cherry blossoms\u201d ; \u201csamurai vendetta\u201d is the title under which it is best known in the west .\n\u2014 following a massively successful festival circuit , eleven arts has licensed north american distribution rights to yoshinari nishikori\u2019s award -

and scriptwriter kanao ikegami - brought a different perspective to the seven samurai story ; whereas kurosawa ' s film pitted lowly samurai against each other for the benefit of a despised class - namely , the peasantry - , kudo ' s film sees samurai fight merely among each for the benefit of samurai society - the bakuhan . in a way , kudo ' s film is darker than kurosawa ' s as it describes a corrupt world fostering unrewarding violence . in the great killing , kudo took more liberty and replaced the high rank samurai of 13 assassins with characters of a condition more suited to his social conscience : poor , marginalized samurai , whom he might have looked on as the students of the conflicted 1960s .\nsituated by the ocean , this hostel is steps from myall lakes national park and tomaree national park . samurai beach and toboggan hill park are also within 3 mi ( 5 km ) .\nlady nui ( eiko okawa ) with sword begs to join the plot against nariatsu . as swordswomen go , she is weakly cast & doesn ' t quite live up to the promise of her introduction to the story . but as stories go , it ' s nice that of the brave eleven of oishi is a woman .\nthe filming in taranaki coincided with a summer of many days without rain , to the benefit of the filmcrew . taranaki locals use the term samurai summer as reference for a summer with many clear days .\nmuch of the cast for \u201celeven samurai\u201d had appeared in the previous two films - two of them , satomi koutaro ( playing mitamura kenshin , leader of the hotheads ) and nishimura ko ( playing ronin ido daijyurou ) are probably best known for essaying the title role in the \u201cmito komon\u201d tv series . suga kantaro is the surly nariatsu , in effect reprising his role from \u201c13 assassins\u201d . while at times he goes a bit over the top in acting despicably , he certainly succeeds in making his character come across as an entitled , petulant and sadistic rich boy who takes everything for granted and treats even his vassals as disposable objects . this is one guy you really , really want to see get killed . otomo ryutaro played the evil lord\u2019s loyal samurai akiyoshi gyobu after being the prime baddie in \u201cthe great killing\u201d - he also appeared in the first example of \u2018samurai group assault\u2019 films , \u201cseventeen ninja\u201d . having a cast that was used to working with the director and each other gave the film solid performances even for the smaller parts .\nbanshu , also known as harima , was an edo period province of japan that included ako . its capital was himeji and it was also the home of the samurai miyamoto musashi , who wrote the book of five rings .\ncritical reception in japan was generally positive . tomomi katsuta of\nthe mainichi shinbun\nthought that the film was\na vast improvement over previous american attempts to portray japan\n, noting that director edward zwick\nhad researched japanese history , cast well - known japanese actors and consulted dialogue coaches to make sure he didn ' t confuse the casual and formal categories of japanese speech .\nhowever , katsuta still found fault with the film ' s idealistic ,\nstorybook\nportrayal of the samurai , stating :\nour image of samurai is that they were more corrupt .\nas such , he said , the noble samurai leader katsumoto\nset his teeth on edge .\nin one of the greatest films to come from japan , the lord of the oshi fief is killed by his trespassing neighbor , the cruel and despotic nariatsu , son of the former shogun . after a biased investigation , the oshi clan is blamed for what happened and sentenced to be disbanded . eleven of the best samurai of the clan refuse the sentence and are willing to give their lives for justice . noted director kudo eiichi reached the zenith of his career with this exciting film about the turbulent days of the oshi clan ! featuring an all -

but often desperate and unrewarding - guerrilla approach . ' he was a b - class moviemaker in terms of hierarchy ' , masaaki ito concludes ' but he certainly viewed himself as an auteur director . he had certain privileges which other toei directors envied . but on the set , he would do things which directors did not normally do , like clean up the set , carry spotlights , etc . all the actors and technicians truly loved him . he was a great director . '\ncomplications with the shikimori slow our heroes briefly but give them a deeper understanding of the relationships extant between the bandits , merchants , farmers and the shikimori themselves . combine it with the need to elude bandit scouts , who have heard rumours of samurai being hired to aid kanna village , and our heroes have an interesting trip to kanna . once there they find the reception less than cordial . here kikuchiyo ' s past comes to the fore and he proves crucial in letting the samurai and farmers understand each other .\nthe film superficially resembles the previous two \u2018samurai trilogy\u2019 entries , \u201c13 assassins\u201d and \u201cthe great killing\u201d , but in spirit is more akin to a chushingura / 47 ronin film . here the samurai are working outside the law to gain revenge for the death of their lord and the subsequent confiscation of their fief ( an insult compounded by having it awarded to the man who killed their lord in a fit of pique ) . it\u2019s particularly mirrored in the moral dilemma of whether to work towards revenge or the restoration of their clan .\nhistorically , the only westerners fighting in the japanese civil war were french military advisers under jules brunet who joined the shogun ' s army . even if most of them were fighting with french equipment , some did wear the samurai attire ( like eugene collache ) .\nthis is the story of\nthe forty -

grandfather went to hokkaido after the dissolution of the samurai class & became a horse rancher . horses remained a family business , & even in his films kudo was not apt to pass on a chance to place horses into a story .\neffort at a \u2018group assault\u2019 film . \u201c13 assassins\u201d was cold and calculating , precise and surgical in its planning and counter - planning . \u201cthe great killing\u201d was an exercise in chaos , from the opening that drew in a character totally unrelated to the plot to the closing assault that didn\u2019t look at first to have succeeded . \u201celeven samurai\u201d blends these disparate approaches and adds the hayato / orei relationship , an aspect that was somewhat missing in the first two films ( especially 13 assassins ) . there are some excellent shots and composition in the film , particularly in the massive , almost expressionistic imperial forest that the ambush is to take place in . light and shadow is used to great effect and there are nice flourishes , such as letting a billowing wave of fog effect a virtual wipe of the screen . kudo is also smart enough to give his leads a bit of screen time to flesh out their characters , not just the hayato / orei / nui angle but hayato\u2019s position as an outsider among the \u2018hotheads\u2019 , gyobu\u2019s travails as nariatsu\u2019s chamberlain , and daijyourou\u2019s scathing indictments of the samurai lifestyle .\ntoshiro mifune furiously embodies swordsman musashi miyamoto as he comes into his own in the action -

produced goraku ( entertainment ) jidai geki coincided with the career end of big pre - war stars of the genre like utaemon ichikawa and chiezo kataoka . what happened was that , like in the pre - war period , the jidai geki films became increasingly realistic and poignant in their content and messages . the camera became free from theatrical forms again while the message about the cruelties of the samurai society was more adamant . masahiro shinoda once commented that he felt the need to ' do away with the nonchalant flippancy with which toei jidai geki explored the historical background of the edo era ' , and set out to show how the bakufu period reflected the excesses of modern japanese society . eiichi kudo set out to break the toei mould from within in three major films : 13 assassins ( jusannin no shikaku , 1963 ) , the great killing ( daisatsujin , 1964 ) and 11 samurai ( juichinin no samurai , 1966 ) . these were all filmed in black and white , while their stories functioned as mirrors to the hot topics of the 1960s : rebellion and political assassination .\nsamurai vendetta is a chushingura side - story , which intersects with the main story at key points . the film was made for japanese audiences , who would be extremely familiar with the details of the story of the 47 ronin . western viewers are thus well advised to take a crash - course in 47 ronin lore in order to get the most out of the film .\nkazuo mori was born january 15 , 1911 , and had a prolific career as a film director from the 1930s to the 1970s . over his long career , he directed 131 films , including the blind menace , four zatoichi films , and three shinobi no mono films . samurai vendetta is regarded as one of his best films . kazuo mori died on june 29 , 1989 .\nthis revelation would seem to imply that the great killing is the triumphant expression of kudo ' s ideals . but the three films are far from that ; their revenge plots lead merely to chaos and despair . there is no triumph in killing . moreover , the great killing of the film will not change much about the social order . as dirty kudo puts it , ' the movie shows but mangy dogs nibbling at the political system ' . the pessimistic view of violence , once again , makes the great killing more than just another swordplay movie . it is also a nouvelle vague film with a political and moral bias . it may be seen both as a metaphor of student activism but also as the moral stance of a director who stemmed directly from samurai lineage and saw violence as the twilight of enlightenment . 11 samurai , as arai put it , ' shows human beings dazed and alienated by their own violence in a metaphorical environment ' . but the three films also follow a commercial formula along the lines of the traditional chushingura / 47 ronin story , especially the third film , 11 samurai , about a violent vendetta in the midst of existential uncertainty .\n\u201ctasuki\u201d are short , thin sashes worn with kimono which are wrapped around the shoulders in order to keep the long , wide sleeves of the kimono out of one\u2019s way when trying to do something with one\u2019s hands , like tidying up around the house , or slaughtering a group of rival samurai . tasuki are not to be confused with \u201cobi , \u201d which are longer , wider sashes also worn with kimono .\nthe swords used in the film are the folded steel orchid katanas by paul chen . originally blue , they were painted red to match the armor of the samurai that algren kills in his first engagement with katsumoto ' s men . it it the same armor that taka dresses algren in for the final battle . in all , 7 live blades were purchased for the production from ameurasiart in the united states .\nborn october 12 , 1898 , in uwajima , ehime , daisuke ito was one of the top directors and screenwriters of his time in japan . often regarded as the \u201cfather of jidaigeki ( period drama ) , \u201d he particularly laid his bricks in samurai cinema , building the foundation of modern jidaigeki from the era of silent film ( his first screenplay was produced in 1921 ) , to his final film in 1971 .\nhip hop producer rza is credited as music director , but due to time constraints , he was unable to contribute fully . instead he told the team how he went about scoring afro samurai , and put them in contact with various individuals to assist them in delivering a sound similar to what he created for the anime . he did , however , send the team a couple of tracks to use in the game .\nan episodic sequel was announced in june 2015 , called afro samurai 2 : revenge of kuma . [ 18 ] volume 1 was released on playstation 4 , and pc on september 22 , 2015 and the xbox one on october 8 , 2015 . in november 2015 , the game was removed from the playstation store , xbox marketplace and steam and volumes 2 and 3 were cancelled due to poor reception . [ 19 ]\nthe other character development of note is katsuhiro who is rapidly begining to understand the true costs of being a samurai . by volume end he is forced to grapple with the ugly reality behind the noble concepts and i am not entirely sure he likes what he has discovered . it is going to be interesting to see how he develops over future volumes . the stage is now set for the arrival of the oft referenced but infrequently seen nobuseri .\nnot all those directors were staunch believers in democracy . some , like gosha , were quite defiant , others , like shinoda , were more confident ; they all felt that they had been betrayed by the kokutai system - blind obedience to the emperor based on samurai ideology - but they could not always adhere to democratic principles which they felt formed merely a new system imposed upon the people . their jidai geki reveal both their pessimism and faith in the shape of individualistic rebellion against authoritarianism . to top it all , eiichi kudo ' s films sprang from the most improbable source : the toei kyoto studio , the realm of entertainment jidai geki for children and the masses . but the sheer strength of films like 13 assassins , the great killing and 11 samurai , although deemed b action jidai geki at the time of their production , deserves a brand new evaluation in the light of political history .\nthe relationship between hayato ( natsuyagi isao ) and orei ( miyazono junko ) . it\u2019s very affectionate and much more up - front than similar relationships in most chanbara films and is given a good chunk of time to play out as a subplot in the film . shots of hayato\u2019s hands lovingly caressing orei\u2019s face and his obvious sense of shame when she believes him to have taken up with another woman give a real sense of two people who care deeply for each other . someone at toei obviously thought so , as the two went on to appear together in \u201csamurai wolf\u201d and \u201csamurai wolf ii\u201d . miyazono later starred in \u201cquick draw okatsu\u201d , one of the best \u2018swordswoman\u2019 films to come out of japan ( not to mention costarring the awesome oshida reiko as a ninja babe ) . natsuyagi is still active in japanese film , recently appearing in the azuchi castle / nobunaga jidaigeki opus \u201c castle under fiery skies \u201d .\nduring his early filmmaking days in the silent era , he was known for his mobile camera style , and earned himself the nickname \u201cido daisuke\u201d ( \u201ci love motion\u201d ) , a pun on \u201cito daisuke . \u201d over his many years of filmmaking , he worked with such legendary stars as kinnosuke nakamura , raizo ichikawa , shintaro katsu , denjiro okochi , and tsumasaburo bando . the director of samurai vendetta , kazuo mori , was also a beloved student of daisuke ito .\nthe last film in kudo ' s informal samurai trilogy turned out to be the most enjoyable for me if not necessarily the best . it seems that , as running time for the films in the trilogy decreased , kudo became more efficient in his storytelling and the films gained upon it accordingly . the conclusion still is that the films are similar in style and in plot , but without being repetitive in any way . they are just variations on a theme and very well executed as such .\nin 2013 , discotek media released a dvd boxset of the original kyattou ninden teyandee in its entirety ( uncut and with subs , of course ) . discotek also released a boxset of samurai pizza cats in 2013 , and followed that up a few years later with a one - disc blu - ray release ( made possible by all the episodes being in standard definition , natch ) . and as of late december 2015 , the dubbed version is available on crunchyroll for viewers in the us and canada .\nthe characters of viggo mortensen ( frank t . hopkins ) in hidalgo and of tom cruise ( nathan algren ) in the last samurai have very similar traumatizing backgrounds . they both suffer from p . t . s . d . from helping , or aiding in the massacre of native americans , they lose themselves in alcohol , and work 1800s wild west - type shows , followed by receiving an offer to travel to a foreign land for a large amount of money , and are wholly changed by the experience .\njuichinin no samurai starring isao natsuyagi ( hayato ) , ryutaro otomo ( gyobu ) , kotaro satomi ( mitamura ) , kantaro suga ( lord nariatsu ) , koji nambara ( tatawaki ) , ko nishimura ( daijuro ) , kei sato ( mizuno ) , junko miyazono ( orie ) , eiko okawa ( nui ) , minoru oki screenplay by takeo kunihiro , noribumi suzuki and kei tasaka music by akira ifukube toei company , 95 minutes b & w ; , 2 . 35 : 1 scope ratio english - subtitled dvd : animeigo\n) leaves the clan to become a ronin , then rounds up ten samurai to help him . he starts be enlisting six retainers who are on the verge of taking revenge themselves before hayato intervenes . hayato orders them to commit seppuku for their plot , just as a test to make sure how serious they are . also joining the team along with those six is lady nui , the sister of an abe retainer who has just died from tuberculosis , and her commitment to the cause is as strong as the men ' s .\nthe real - life counterpart to katsumoto ( played by ken watanabe ) is takamori saigo , who led a samurai rebellion in 1877 . as in the movie , saigo ended up committing suicide in september 1877 after defeat in battle . the emperor ' s attitude in the film toward katsumoto ' s struggle and death reflects actual japanese popular sentiment toward saigo , who though defeated , was regarded as a hero ; a statue of saigo was erected shortly after his death , and can today be seen in ueno , in northeast tokyo .\nas a director , he\u2019s perhaps best known for his award - winning hangyakuji , a . k . a . conspirator ( 1961 ) , and benten kozo , a . k . a . the gay masquerade ( 1958 ) . as a writer , he\u2019s best - known for his adaptation of yukinojo henge , a . k . a . revenge of a kabuki actor , as well as his single contributions to long - running samurai series such as sleepy eyes of death 8 ( 1966 ) , and zatoichi and the chess expert ( 1965 ) .\nafter yattarou and karamaru ( aka :\nbad bird\nin the samurai pizza cats version ) return safely after destroying the comet that would have wiped out edoropolis ( aka :\nlittle tokyo\n) , omitsu is so happy to see yattarou alive that she lets out a mega huge missile , which heads toward edoropolis , blowing it up in the process ( ironically , the missile is labelled\nomitsu is so happy ~ ! !\n) the townspeople are seen rebuilding the city in the end of the episode , however , but still .\nelemental powers : the samurai pizza cats rescue team each represented one of these . meowzma ( gotton ) was earth , general catton ( rikinoshin ) was fire , bat cat ( mietoru ) was wind , and spritz t . cat ( nekkii ) was water . similarly , the three of the four rude noise members each represent the elements : cannonball battery ( bonkaa ) represents fire , ronnie geissmuller ( wokkaa ) represent water , and mojo rojo ( rekkaa ) represents wind . the lone exception is bad max ( zankaa ) , who represents the darkness .\nit is the early 19th century in japan . nariatsu , a high ranking official and son of the former shogun , is engaged in an animal hunt . in his reckless pursuit of the game , he crosses borders to a neighboring fief and kills a peasant who happens to be in his way . the lord of that fief also happens to be nearby , and witnessing the incident , calls him out on his ruthlessness . nariastu kills him as well . this murder is covered up by the government , and blame is placed on the dead lord and his fief is slated for disbandment , to be incorporated by the shogun . the dead lord ' s samurai will not accept this fate . reckless attempts are made against nariastu , who frequents a local brothel . a semi organized attempt by a group of samurai is thwarted by the dead lord ' s chamberlain , who through a contrived sentencing of his own men to commit seppoku , is looking for recruits himself . ten men and one woman are brought together , later , a ronin joins them , and they bide their time until the time to strike is ripe .\ngyobu\u2019s not the only one struggling with the contradictions of bushido . hayato\u2019s group takes refuge in an old dwelling where the hothead faction clashes with hayato over how things are being handled . they accuse him of being standoffish , happy to set up shop with lady nui and not taking the opportunities presented them . things seemingly get worse when it\u2019s revealed that a scruffy ronin , ido daijyurou , has overheard their conversation and deduces what their objective is , but he proves sent from the gods when a group of nariatsu\u2019s samurai suddenly attack . with his help , the oshi ronin make their escape .\nextras are light this time around - trailers for the three films in kudo\u2019s \u2018samurai trilogy\u2019 , a handful of historical notes , short bios of some of the cast and crew , and a small image gallery ( only five images ) . toei must not have had much archival material on the film since not only is there a lack of stills on the disc but the trailer is one that animeigo put together themselves . otherwise , the disc is what we\u2019ve all come to expect from animeigo - a top rate translation with cultural notes onscreen , the best possible transfer , and solid sound .\nthe conflicted sixties were a golden age for a few directors , who renovated an oft - criticized genre thriving on nostalgia and clear - cut depictions of the samurai tate - shakai ( vertical society ) . in japan , their films were either hailed as groundbreaking works or criticized as ' bastardized ' productions tarnishing the jidaimono tradition with impure blood . very often , those films would be reevaluated from 10 to 30 years after their release , as avant - garde or underground gems . although hideo gosha ' s delightful samurai wolf ( kiba okaminosuke ) movies and his potent reworking of tange sazen ( 1966 ) were produced by toei , the most commercially and critically successful films at the time were kudo ' s ' action jidai geki ' , as they were labelled . those films , parallel with the taisaku mono ( prestige productions ) helmed by tadashi imai , signified , like in the heavily politicized 1920s and 1930s , the introduction of more realism and social conscience into the sanitized and kabuki - esque jidai geki productions stemming from the kyoto movie studios , together with more experimental visuals ( keisuke kinoshita ' s absolutely masterful river fuefuki / fuefukigawa was both very realistic in feel and remarkably experimental ) .\nafro samurai is a video game for the playstation 3 and xbox 360 video game consoles , loosely based on the manga and anime series of the same name . it was announced in the february 2008 issue of play magazine [ 2 ] and released on january 27 , 2009 . [ 3 ] the game was developed by namco bandai games [ 4 ] and in north america , it was the first ( and would end up being the only ) game published under their western label , surge . in europe and australia the game was released under the namco brand instead and was distributed by atari europe .\neiichi kudo was born into a family of samurai lineage . in fact , his great grandfather had been sent by the government to hokkaido to cultivate the land , probably shortly after the hokkaido colonization commission was established , in 1869 , and started to promote ranching in the area . it was the time , after the meiji restauration , of the ' rehabilitation of samurai ' , and so the kudo family had a farm and bred horses . eiichi kudo ' s brother - in - law , masaaki ito , a production manager at the toei kyoto studio , explained how kudo ' s family actually raised race horses typical of the area , probably hokkaido washu horses , for the purpose of banei keiba races , that is , ' traditional draft horse races which involve horses pulling iron sleighs of a similar weight while racing each other ' ( quoted from yomiuri ) . so in his infancy , eiichi kudo became very familiar with horses and , according to his biographer dirty kudo ( the author of the book hikari to kage eiga kantoku kudo eiichi [ light and shadow : film director eiichi kudo ] , published by wise shuppan in 2002 ) : ' he was the one director who , at toei , started to use horses to better effect in action sequences . '\nfor younger directors like kudo , the opportunity to show their mettle came with the decline of that founding genre of japanese cinema , the jidai geki . this forced the studios to rejuvenate the genre and make it more violent and realistic to fit the times of social anarchy . the year 1960 , for instance , was the year inejiro asanuma , leading figure of the socialist party , was assassinated by a right - wing extremist , in front of tv cameras . it might be said that , to some extent , the extreme brutality of this murder set the tone for some of the most realistic jidai geki produced in the 1960s - not so much akira kurosawa ' s sanjuro ( tsubaki sanjuro , 1962 ) , which , despite its anti - violence message , remains quite playful , as films like the executioners ( bakumatsu zankoku monogatari , 1964 ) by tai kato or kudo ' s the great killing . those black and white films are also partly in the line of the zankoku - or cruel - jidaimono of the 1960s , in literature and movies , a line of works exemplified by the novel todaiki by norio nanjo in 1956 ( norio nanjo also penned tadashi imai ' s bushido : samurai saga / bushido zankoku monogatari in 1963 ) . todaiki is a novel about a mangled samurai abandoned in latrines . it is a very dark novel much appreciated by filmmakers including kenji misumi .\ni took a break from the zatoichi series for this week to check out this film from eiichi kudo . a young , brash , greedy , and violent daimyo , favorite son of the retired shogun , wanders into a neighboring fief while hunting , and in a fit of anger kills a peasant farmer and that clan ' s lord . not wanting to embarass the shogunate , the official story is rewritten and the injured clan is ordered to be abolished . a group of samurai defect from the clan and begin plotting the assassination of the offending daimyo . honestly the plot is pretty standard for this style of jidaigeki , but that plot is also plenty satisfying when well executed . i would say , for the most\u2026\nat the beginning the japanese soldiers , who are trained by the americans , are using american - made model 1861 springfield muskets and british - made pattern 1853 enfield muskets , no doubt surplus from the american civil war ( which ended eleven years before the beginning of the movie ) . at the final battle , however , the now better trained and better equipped army can be seen using prussian - made gewehr 1871 bolt - action mausers , a single - shot , bolt - action , black - powder cartridge rifle . this rifle , unlike modern bolt - action rifles , had no magazine ( the model 1871 / 84 would add a tubular magazine ) . this equipment update is also reflected in the dress of the japanese soldiers , which abandoned the american 1870s look of the first part of the movie and adopted a stern , militaristic prussian look ( dark blue blouse , white gaiters , the more military style cap of a professional army instead of a french - style kepi then used by the u . s . army ) . this is because the elite japanese units during this time were trained by prussia , and the model 1871 mauser was widely exported during the 1870s - 1880s and was not fully replaced even in prussian / german service until 1889 .\nwhen war broke out , kudo was too young to be drafted , but while at college , like his future toei colleague kinji fukasaku , he had to perform mandatory work to sustain the war effort . he found himself building , in the company of korean immigrants , a brand new airport near the port of tomakomai in hokkaido . nobody knows exactly how kudo felt after this tough period - although he once said that ' it strengthened the sickly kid i once had been ' - , nor how kudo actually felt about the fact that his family , like other samurai or agricultural families , was later labeled by the american occupation forces ' the enemy of democracy ' , on the grounds that they owned a vast amount of land .\nthese minor originalities do reveal one of kudo ' s talents : his ability to renovate the visual forms of jidai geki . he was one of the first - and maybe also the first - to introduce a lot of hand - held camera in toei ' s chanbara , as can be seen in the great killing . this hand - held camerawork may have served to evoke the tv coverage of streets demonstrations in the 1960s . kudo also appropriated the low - angle approach of his director friend tai kato and , according to misao arai , ' used it even more effectively than kato ' . he also tried to bring a twist to traditional jidai geki framings and compositions . dirty kudo reveals how kudo derived inspiration from toei ' s kyosho tomu uchida , the director of a bloody spear at mount fuji ( 1955 ) . ' in the kuroda affair ( kuroda sodo , 1956 ) , ' he explains , ' there is a notable reunion scene between samurai where uchida placed the top rank samurai not at the center but in one corner of the room . this original composition made kudo realize that he could try out new visual approaches in his jidai geki films ' . another japanese critic and film historian noted that kudo took a decisive counter - approach to tv filming . ' generally , tv jidai geki were much more brightly lit than their film counterparts . but kudo liked shadows very much . here and there , he would place his actors in shadows and hide their faces ' ."]}

based chaka studio , the quipu project relays the story of a recent and very dark moment in peruvian history . as many as 300 , 000 women in rural areas of peru were possibly hoodwinked into being sterilised during the mid - to - late 1990s , all in the name of bringing an end to poverty .\nbut , as putin spent hours answering questions from across the country in his recent televised q & a ; session , officers of the federal security bureau ( fsb ) and tax inspectors were conducting raids on several of prokhorov ' s businesses including the moscow headquarters of his holding company , onexim group , his investment firm renaissance capital , the power generating company quadra , and the international financial club ( ifc ) bank .\nduring the 1990s , hundreds of thousands of poor women in rural areas of peru were forcibly sterilised , often without their knowledge - and ahead of the next presidential election , artists are helping campaigners finally find justice .\nwhile the film would benefit from another round of disciplined editing - - there is apparently a punchy 32 -

on - year increase in its net profit to $ 8 . 7 million , up from $ 4 . 76 million for the same period in 2013 . onexim is a private investment fund with a portfolio that focuses on mining , financial services , real estate , media , utilities and technology . it owns shares in the bank vtb , several billions of dollars worth of the potash company , uralkali , and at the time of launching in 2007 has assets estimated to be worth $ 17 billion -

year - old businessman has barely muttered a political word .\nshe said the perpetrator had to be a miserably unhappy man , that every act of hostility and misconduct from him was a pre - determined , ill - fated , piteous attempt on his part to fill a bottomless pit inside himself , a place where love should reside but , because of some twist of fate or some twisted wiring , simply does not . like a heroine addict , he temporarily numbs the pain of his emptiness with another injection of human misery , but as soon as that short - lived euphoria wears off , which is as inevitable as the proverbial sunrise , he is off in search of another fix .\nthis collaborative solution was to create an online archive of women ' s voices , telling their stories in their native tongue . this would then form the basis of a multimedia documentary with the women to the fore . most importantly , the women could hear the voices of others like them as the project was happening -

answer seems to be ' no , karam dosa does not fit in one of those predefined patterns . reason ? it ' s planned to be totally driven by the story . a song or character kicks in only if there is a need to establish something better . team is not promising a roller - coaster ride for every 20 mins but one single point that gradually evolves and engages you . in short , with karam dosa its much smoother ride . also while first half builds up everything you would want to know it ' s the second half that sucks you in emotionally and makes karam dosa stand out . how do we know that ? we know the highlights of the story \ud83d\ude09\nmake the besan chutney thick so that it is easy to spread as well as the dosa does not get soggy . .\n' karam dosa ' may be best described as a light - veined film delivering a serious - minded theme , working at a certain level . if you are someone who revels in imperfect yet lovable characters , situations that are not dramatic yet carry weight , a certain type of developed telugu that is humorous / hard - hitting , then this is your - kind - of - film .\nthe soundtrack consists of three songs composed by siddarth watkins and written by sreeram samji . national award winner suresh who has worked for various hit movies like bombay , roja , and chandramukhi has edited this flick . recently , cinematography is handled by raja bhattacharjee . this film has completed the censor formalities and regional censor board awarded \u2018u\u2019 certificate . read on karam dosa movie review & story plot .\non the whole , karam dosa is a boring and dragged out drama which will leave you scratching your head big time . until the last fifteen minutes , the proceedings are so slow and boring that you feel suffocated big time . the subject of this film could have easily been apt for a good short film but sadly , the makers spoil it even more by making it into a film which is pretty upsetting .\nkaram dosa movie is a low budget film and to its surprise is trending well in terms of song . the synopsis and story of the film will be mentioned soon here . the makers of the film have shown a great team sits balancing all the fresh and experienced stars equally giving them with all the credit . talking about the comedy scenes expected in the movie , the timing , and the scenes goes along well and are said to be very entertaining .\nthis is the time that a dosa center owner enters their lives and changes things around by showing them some enlightenment . rest of the story is as to how these three friends plan something interesting and settle down in life .\nthe team of the karam dosa movie is all excited for the release and had put in great efforts in order to complete the shooting part of the film as per schedule and make it a new year release . the film also aims at hitting the chords on social media and the songs of the film are already a hit . the advance booking of the film has started and you can book the tickets online now and watch the film exclusively in the threats on december 30 th , 2016 .\ni have linked the detailed recipe for dosa and besan chutney , so please refer the individual posts for the recipes . otherwise i thought i should post this idea when my bil forwarded this recipe from a friend ( who had shared\nhi , i ' m a regular followers of your blog . great job . . in kara dosa , the flavours of the kara chutney is too strong for us . is it the flavour or i went wrong some where \ud83e\udd14\ud83e\udd14\ud83e\udd14\nhi raji . i tried this recipe last week . we loved the totally new flavours of the besan chutney . only issue i had was - the dosa was getting teared off as i tried removing from the tawa . so i just skipped spreading on the dosa and had it as side dish instead . where could i have gone wrong ? i used my regular idli batter to make it . but we totally loved the dish and i am sure to do it regularl .\nraja bhattacharjee , who has worked for number of shortfilms , is the cinematographer . with majority of roles played by talented , young new faces , the movie also has vankayala satyanarayana , adabala and viswanath kasi putting in their experience for other vital characters . music by siddharth watkins and lyrics by sreeram samji are sure to puff out new and refreshing spirits into the air . director trivikram g takes the driver seat by steering the departments of screenplay and dialogues as well . sarcastic humor all through and elements of drama inbuilt - karam dosa is all set to prove itself a clean and complete entertainer package .\nthe story takes place in and around kadapa district . there is a backwards village called pichchayya kona in kadapa which does not have any proper facilities . a 70 years old man ( vankayala satya narayana ) stays in satyanarayana patnam and runs a hotel which is special for karam dosa . he works hard to develop the village pichchayya kona . meanwhile , he comes across three people vemanna ( siva ramachandravarapu ) , ravi ( surya srinivas ) and bali ( anil ) who regularly visits his hotel . how the 70 years old man inspires the lives of this youth forms the rest of the film\u2019s story .\nlast question . is it going to be a very experimental movie ? we guess no because film language is not everything , content matters . a true experiment is where the presentation is out of box no matter it\u2019s a known or totally new story line . generally people feel the compulsion of making a thriller / sci - fi / horror when they think of experimental subjects . at least karam dosa doesn\u2019t fall in to that . this team is making a very authentic telugu or say indian movie and the characters , situations are very close to our world . we can call it a small scale experiment .\nstory plot : the story takes place in and around kadapa district . there is a backwards village called pichchayya kona in kadapa which does not have any proper facilities . a 70 years old man ( vankayala satya narayana ) stays in satyanarayana patnam and runs a hotel which is special for karam dosa . he works hard to develop the village pichchayya kona . meanwhile , he comes across three people vemanna ( siva ramachandravarapu ) , ravi ( surya srinivas ) and bali ( anil ) who regularly visits his hotel . how the 70 years old man inspires the lives of this youth forms the rest of the film\u2019s story .\nkaram dosa is a movie for youth . the film is like a lesson for all the young audiences . the intention behind the film was great ! the way message has been included in the script is impressive . a clear message has been given to all the youth who are struggling to settle in life . the film portrays lives of the old man and the youth simultaneously . the work that the old man does and the way he inspires the lives of youth has been conveyed very well in the film . the story is superb . but the screenplay is awful . the screenplay could have been much better , and it completely spoils the viewing experience .\nonly one small suggestion . . roast the dosa on both the sides and then apply bombay chatni along with onion chatni . . ( make that bombay chatni thinner so that u can apply both of them same time ) . . i belong to kadapa and so can tell u . . . thats how its done . . cheers\nlooks absolutely delicious raji ! ! the details in the recipe clearly show how much efforts you put forth for every post . . . hats off . . i have already tried your mysore masala dosa and loved it a lot . . . will definitely try this as well soon . . and now i have a list of recipes from your recent posts to try : )\nearlier , thank you smitha ) , as i was way too tempted by the name itself and the thing that i had dosa batter in hand . this is so easy to make too . i am sure many of you will be pushed to try this one soon . since writing all the recipes in one post will be too long and also i already have these recipes , i am linking to those posts .\npromises to deliver everything a family would wish to happily watch on a silver screen .\nhas been better known as a group in facebook -

( just to put another wrench in their odds of surviving . . )\nthere\u2019s a lot of opposition to this storyline \u2013 but there is some sense in it . let\u2019s go through the scenes one by one to try and sort it out :\n\u201cthere are a lot of not - easy times that they go through as teenagers , \u201d she says , \u201cand having music in her life , it\u2019s been a savior . \u201d\namc told fox news on thursday - - before bernecker ' s death was confirmed -

episodic melange of macabre folktales supposedly penned by the fictitious writer jonathan mallory sinus . an abandoned factory in brooklyn stands in for a decrepit village haunted by ghosts , superstition and disease , while threatening to buckle under rumblings of the apocalypse . soldiers are lost and found in endless woods , a child gravedigger is menaced by a shapeshifting physician , a syphilitic john bares all to a young prostitute and a disfigured outcast yearns for the affections of a tone - deaf cabaret singer .\ntake the right door , go left in the open door , use the elevator inside the maintenance room . taking this route leaves the narrator confused as to which direction to go . after opening and closing two doors in stanley ' s face , he opens a garage door that leads to the monitor room . in successive restarts , stanley will always end up in the monitor room .\n- a great emotional and spiritual write that emphasizes that death only leads to rest in the bosom of the lord jesus for his beloved souls and others living need not weep for this happy event .\nall news organisations will scramble to get films on air and obituaries online . at the guardian , the deputy editor has a list of prepared stories pinned to his wall . the times is said to have 11 days of coverage ready to go . at sky news and itn , which for years rehearsed the death of the queen substituting the name \u201cmrs robinson\u201d , calls will go out to royal experts who have already signed contracts to speak exclusively on those channels . \u201ci am going to be sitting outside the doors of the abbey on a hugely enlarged trestle table commentating to 300 million americans about this , \u201d one told me .\nthese well - laid plans have not always helped . in 2002 , when the queen mother died , the obit lights didn\u2019t come on because someone failed to push the button down properly . on the bbc , peter sissons , the veteran anchor , was criticised for wearing a maroon tie . sissons was the victim of a bbc policy change , issued after the september 11 attacks , to moderate its coverage and reduce the number of \u201ccategory one\u201d royals eligible for the full obituary procedure . the last words in sissons\u2019s ear before going on air were : \u201cdon\u2019t go overboard . she\u2019s a very old woman who had to go some time . \u201d\nneither of them have weight belts , if you have tried diving with even a slightly wrong weight in salt water you will know that if you go up a little bit the air expands making you go up faster , making even more air expand and you have an uncontrolled ascent . the blonde haired girl when going up to 40m to radio in would have shot straight to the surface if she hadnt put rocks in her bcd .\nwe just dove to 143ft , and many others do the same in the blue hole in belize . granted , we could only spend a few minutes at that depth , but it\u2019s by no means some instant death sentence .\nthe population will slide between sadness and irritability . in 2002 , 130 people complained to the bbc about its insensitive coverage of the queen mother\u2019s death ; another 1 , 500 complained that casualty was moved to bbc2 . the tv schedules in the days after the queen\u2019s death will change again . comedy won\u2019t be taken off the bbc completely , but most satire will . there will be dad\u2019s army reruns , but no have i got news for you .\ntake the right door , go into cargo room , take the lift across without jumping , unplug the phone in the phone room . the narrator shows stanley a hilarious video about choice . return to the two doors room .\nbernecker was working on the set of season 8 when he fell more than 20 feet onto a concrete surface , deadline reported . bernecker was reportedly treated at atlanta medical center , a level 1 trauma center , before his death .\nfever dreams can be scarring . however , if you\u2019re filmmaker aaron schimberg , you can take that harrowing dip into the subconscious and make it into the fine , singular work \u201c go down death . \u201d his debut film follows a few lives in a desolate village ravaged by constant bombing and unending trauma , changing character perspectives frequently \u2014 ranging from a child gravedigger to a disfigured gambler \u2014 but always maintaining its utter strangeness . it\u2019s also sort of an anomaly in the independent scene , having been shot on 16mm black & white and utilizing both sets and scale models . we saw it last year and raved about it , claiming it \u201cwill trouble and beguile the subconscious long after you\u2019ve moved on . \u201d\nobey everything the narrator tells you to do , but follow the escape sign instead of going in the mind control facility . you will end up in a long corridor . the narrator will continually say that the end of the corridor will lead to your death , trying to convince you to turn back . reaching the end causes you to fall into a death trap that slowly brings you towards a large crushing machine just before stanley meets his death at the hands of the machine , a female narrator takes over and frees stanley , giving him a chance to look inside a museum containing beta elements from earlier in the game ' s production , elements from other endings , and content that was cut from the game .\nmy daughter - in - law printed this out on the evening of my wife ' s death . it is an awesome statement . it reached the the deepest part of my soul . thank you james . would like to have known you .\nafter that , the female narrator tells the player that the only way to save stanley is to quit the game , but staying put will have the metal jaws crush stanley to death , leaving the screen blank and truly forcing one to restart .\nsome years ago\u2014never mind how long precisely\u2014my friend ashley was walking down the street , to get to her next mortuary science class at um - twin cities . it was a windy autumn morning . the wind blew this poem into her hands .\nthe film is quite aware that the more time the characters spend underwater , the lower their air reserves get . but what \u201c47 meters down\u201d completely and spectacularly ignores is that , with scuba , depth is incredibly relevant to the rate of air consumption . with increasing depth and increasing ambient pressure , the air you breathe on scuba becomes more dense . but because the volume of your lungs doesn\u2019t change , you end up using a greater volume of your overall air supply with every breath , the deeper you go . with every additional atmosphere of pressure , the air you breathe is compressed to half the original volume . so , at 2 atmospheres ( about 10 meters below the surface ) , your lungs take in air that is twice as dense as it would be at the surface , meaning you will go through your air twice as fast . at 47 meters down , a person is experiencing 5 . 67 atmospheres , which means they blaze through their air at nearly six times the rate they would at the surface .\nlisten to the narrator , but go down the stairs instead of up . stanley will enter a never - ending paradoxical loop of rooms . as stanley walks through the rooms without end , he begins to question everything , believing himself to be in a dream . he imagines himself to be a bird and to be flying through a star field in space , and then believes the narrator is just a voice in his head , but then he realizes that he is not dreaming and ends up screaming for help , dropping dead .\nin scuba diving , one of the first things you learn is how to combat this pressure upon descent using equalization techniques . this is particularly important for the ears , because if you reach a mere several meters down and fail to equalize any of that pressure pushing in , you can be dealing with a serious amount of pain , ruptured eardrums , and even irreversible hearing loss . the only real way to avoid discomfort is to descend slowly and equalize as you go , and by slowly , i mean half a meter at a time .\nmy favourite issue was when the second tank arrives and it has an a - clamp fitting . her tank has a din fitting yet when she swaps tank the tank is suddenly a din . maybe a kindly shark popped down with an allan key and removed the insert \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\nat that point , the entire ui layer was wiped clean and it was all hands on deck to get luna ready to show in january . late nights , early mornings . palm feared sprint ' s reaction to being told that it was abandoning and rewriting a significant portion of the platform with just a half year to go , so sprint executives were told that it was just a\nreskinning .\nwhen sprint had previously been shown prima , they ' d only seen a locked - down version of the phone application , so they were none the wiser .\nevery day for the month of april , we\u2019ll share a poem that speaks to us . to share your own favorite , email hello @ urltoken , and tell us a little bit about why you love it . and to read a daily poem from the atlantic archives , go here .\ngotta remember it is a movie , is for entertainment . there hasn\u2019t been one shark movie that doesn\u2019t exaggerate things if i wanted to see a real shark\u2019s behavior or learn how to dive i would watch animal planet or go to the classes . it\u2019s not realistic but that\u2019s the point .\ntoday , like every other day , we wake up empty and frightened . don\u2019t open the door to the study and begin reading . take down a musical instrument . let the beauty we love be what we do . there are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground .\nand yes , no need to go all the way to 47 meters ( not like most of the american watching public knows how deep that is anyway ) . the fact that they went into dive more than 40 - 50 feet when totally unprepared and surrounded by sharks would have been enough .\nlisten to the narrator until he reaches the boss ' s office . quickly enter and leave the boss ' s office , making sure the doors are closed . all doors behind stanley will be open ( including the executive bathroom ) ; go back towards stanley ' s office . a door will be open right in front of his office . ( if you go back to your office and close the door , you cannot reopen the door again ) . upon entering the door , you will be teleported to a long staircase . after you go far enough there will be a sign warning the player that both the narrator and the player need to be present in order for escape sequence to play out as intended . the narrator was disabled earlier on , so stanley couldn ' t escape . like in not stanley ending the narrator needed stanley but he wasn ' t controlled by the player .\n15 . cooper spends the entire movie trying to get back to his daughter \u2026 and his daughter spends the entire movie yearning to be reunited with him . he spends two minutes with her \u2026 and then then they both agree he should split to go have presumed only - guy - on - the - planet sex with brand ?\nthat\u2019s the number of months it took palm , inc . to go from the darling of international ces 2009 to a mere shadow of itself , a nearly anonymous division inside the hp machine without a hardware program and without the confidence of its owners . thirty - one months is just barely longer than a typical american mobile phone contract .\nhen people think of a contemporary royal death in britain , they think , inescapably , of diana . the passing of the queen will be monumental by comparison . it may not be as nakedly emotional , but its reach will be wider , and its implications more dramatic . \u201cit will be quite fundamental , \u201d as one former courtier told me .\ngreat poetry can do many things\u2014challenge us intellectually , show us beauty , allow us to inhabit the gray areas of language , entertain us . this poem does all those things for me , but it also gave me comfort in a time of loss , and in its ending lines i found wisdom on how to live in light of death and loss .\nwhen mcknight launched a video series on youtube , he did an episode called \u201cis taylor swift the next eddie van halen ? \u201d he wasn\u2019t talking about technique . he was talking about inspiring younger players . the video series , in the end , grew faster than guitar sales or lessons . earlier this year , mcknight shut down his store .\ndisobey the narrator to the end ; take the right door , go into the warehouse , take the lift and jump onto the catwalk . take the blue door 3 times . stanley will walk into a large room that the narrator had not finished building yet ; developer textures ( orange and white tiles ) can be seen along the walls around stanley .\non d + 1 , the day after the queen\u2019s death , the flags will go back up , and at 11am , charles will be proclaimed king . the accession council , which convenes in the red - carpeted entr\u00e9e room of st james\u2019s palace , long predates parliament . the meeting , of the \u201clords spiritual and temporal of this realm\u201d , derives from the witan , the anglo - saxon feudal assembly of more than a thousand years ago . in theory , all 670 current members of the privy council , from jeremy corbyn to ezekiel alebua , the former prime minister of the solomon islands , are invited \u2013 but there is space for only 150 or so . in 1952 , the queen was one of two women present at her proclamation .\na wonderful teacher once broke down the word \u201ctranslate\u201d into its latin parts : trans + latus , \u201cto carry across , \u201d to ferry meaning from one side to another . for me , this sparked an interest in how translations vary , how the shift of one word or an alternate choice of phrase can profoundly change the music of the poem , or its resonance .\n\u201che would burst open the screen door and try to do the dishes with you , \u201d carloss said . when her children played in their sandbox , ernie would plop his front hooves down next to them . carloss took ernie to compete in shows throughout the state , where he would strut around with a sequined browband . \u201che stole everybody\u2019s heart , \u201d she said .\nthe pre launched in the us on june 5th , 2009 , making good on the\nfirst half of 2009\nguidance issued at ces . just days later , longtime ceo ed colligan stepped down and made way for jon rubinstein , who ' d already been deeply involved with the company in his role as executive chairman . the changing of the guard was complete .\nthe parallels with the unease that we will feel at the death of elizabeth ii are obvious , but without the consolation of britain\u2019s status in 1901 as the world\u2019s most successful country . \u201cwe have to have narratives for royal events , \u201d the historian told me . \u201cin the victorian reign , everything got better and better , and bigger and bigger . we certainly can\u2019t tell that story today . \u201d\nbut that\u2019s what enthralls keats\u2014the eternal , resplendent pause . anticipating a moment , my teacher proposed , may be more of a thrill than the moment itself . it\u2019s the breath pressing in your ribs before a long exhale , the wait at the top of a coaster before the plunge down . keats revels in this instant before the end . he wishes he could linger there longer .\nshortly after kate escapes the cage , she swims towards the surface a bit ( up to 40 meters ) so she can get in range of the boat , allowing her to use her mask communications system to notify captain taylor that they are still alive down there . kate tells taylor that she has 55 bar left ( that\u2019s only one - quarter of a tank ! ) . taylor then advises kate and her sister stay down in the cage at 47 meters and wait until they can pull the whole thing up somehow , because if they go to the surface while fleeing the sharks , they will get the bends and they will die ! this is a ludicrous flipping of priorities . yes , decompression illness can be dangerous , even fatal in some cases . but you know what\u2019s 100 % fatal ? not having any air to breathe . taylor advising kate and lisa to sit tight at 47 meters and race through their air rather than take a risky ascent is like your doctor telling you to stop drinking any and all water because there might be lead in it . yes , technically lead poisoning is not ideal , but perishing from dehydration is quite a bit worse .\ntaking the right door will prompt further\nnarrative contradiction ,\nand when you enter the left door , the meeting room will have been destroyed and distorted . the narrator shuts down the game and goes on a rant about how stanley destroyed his work . he is cut off by a sudden restarting of the game , with stanley reappearing in front of the two doors after returning from the cargo room .\nonce the cage begins to plummet to the seafloor , lisa and kate begin to experience increasing pressure . as more and more seawater stacks up above them as they sink , the pressure exerted on their bodies by all this water goes up . every 10 meters or so of seawater produces the same amount of pressure as the entirety of the earth\u2019s atmosphere at sea level . so , at 10 meters down , a person experiences 2 atmospheres of pressure . 20 meters down , it\u2019s 3 atmospheres , and so on . all that squeezing doesn\u2019t do a whole lot to your solid , fleshy parts\u2014but it does a lot to air spaces . gas is compressible , and as the pressure mounts , the air - filled sinus cavities , interior parts of the ears , inside of the mask , and lungs are all impacted .\ni like learning to science and truth behind things occurring in movies and comparing them to what is shown in the movie\u2026but\u2026 this entire article is so negative and has such a snarky sanctimonious tone that it was hard to enjoy . it\u2019s a movie . it\u2019s supposed to be an escape and about impossibilities and fun to watch . there\u2019s a way to dissect fact from fiction without being so bitter lol simmer down .\ntake the right door , go into the warehouse , take the cargo lift across without jumping and answer the phone in the phone room . this teleports stanley in front of what appears to be his apartment , but when he opens the door , expecting his wife , he finds a robotic mannequin . attempting to leave instead of entering his apartment prompts the narrator to block stanley , forcing him to enter his apartment . as the screen tells the player to press a specific button , the apartment around stanley begins to change into his office ( in some cases the apartment will remain the same if you pressed other buttons than stated to push , however , there is still no way to progress through the story line meaning the player will still have to restart ) while the narrator tells stanley the story of the death of a man named stanley .\non the aesthetics , i love the way the poem moves . it starts with the commonplace idea that the people an older person knows begin to die off to the point that funerals take over their social calendar , much the way younger people seem to spend the summers of their late 20s and early 30s attending an endless string of weddings . the poem then pivots from its resigned stance toward the inevitability of loss and death :\ni think it\u2019s sarton\u2019s parsing of what \u201cdead center\u201d is\u2014a celebration of the blood that keeps on pumping , through loss and cold and \u201cleaps into the dark , lovers unkind , \u201d alongside an acknowledgement of mortality ( \u201ctemperature zero , and death on my mind\u201d ) \u2014that brings me back to these stanzas over and over again . there\u2019s a certain comfort in thinking about self - reliance as a matter of flesh and blood and breath .\n3 . cooper ( matthew mcconaughey ) gives his daughter murph ( mackenzie foy ) a soothing explanation of the origin of murphy\u2019s law . this isn\u2019t actually true . the term means pretty much what you thought it meant \u2014 if anything can go wrong , it will ( like , for instance , your dad taking off for 80 years , leaving you behind to eat corn with dust sauce ) . speaking of : cooper shows up randomly at nasa and suddenly he\u2019s piloting the craft ? if he\u2019s so ideal for this incredibly important earth - saving mission that\u2019s just about to happen , and even knows the professor , and is just a day\u2019s drive away , you would think they might have already known he was working the farm down the street and reached out to him . did nasa not have a pilot before he showed up ?\nit\u2019s only after arya and sansa\u2019s first staged argument that littlefinger asks winterfell\u2019s maester to find the incriminating message sansa sent to robb , where she asked him to bend the knee to her evil fianc\u00e9 joffrey baratheon , after her father was accused of treason and awaiting execution by the lannisters . by taking the \u2018bait\u2019 of this message , arya is tricking littlefinger into thinking she wants leverage with which to take down sansa .\nand indeed , the talent came to palm in droves . with the original iphone having already shipped , people were tempted by the prospect of a new challenge . rubinstein was selling his old industry contacts and co - workers on the opportunity to go out and make the next blockbuster consumer product . andy grignon , rob tsuk , and rich dellinger , to name a few . matias duarte , who ' d done stints at danger and helio , was hired to lead palm ' s ui design after considering and turning down a position at google with former danger boss andy rubin . from microsoft , ruby brought in mike abbott to run the software team . palm ' s acquisition of a startup called lampdesk , founded by manu chatterjee ( who ended up creating palm ' s touchstone accessory ) and former pixo employee greg simon , closed in early october .\nthe tulips are too red in the first place , they hurt me . even through the gift paper i could hear them breathe lightly , through their white swaddlings , like an awful baby . their redness talks to my wound , it corresponds . they are subtle : they seem to float , though they weigh me down , upsetting me with their sudden tongues and their color , a dozen red lead sinkers round my neck .\nkate goes back to the cage and tells lisa what taylor told her . after some time has passed , they see a flashlight in the distance , which they deduce is javier . since kate is running low on oxygen , lisa decides to go and bring javier to the cage . lisa swims out to meet javier but is suddenly ambushed by a shark . she is able to hide inside a small cavern of rocks , but the shark still tries to get her . the shark eventually leaves , and lisa continues swimming towards the flashlight . she reaches a drop - off point , where the ocean continues heading down . but , she continues heading out to the flashlight , even though she cannot see anything below her . she eventually reaches the flashlight but does not see javier . javier appears out of nowhere , but suddenly he is attacked by a shark and killed .\nbefore they go into the cage , taylor informs them of the equipment , which includes a meter that tells the user how much oxygen they have left . after louis and benjamin take their turn in the cage , kate and lisa get into it . they are lowered into the water . they don ' t see any sharks , so taylor has his first mate , javier , throw some fish blood into the water to attract the sharks .\nmeanwhile , the pre wasn ' t the blockbuster that everyone had been hoping for . the decision to launch as a sprint exclusive was frequently cited as a killer , but the situation may have been exacerbated by a bizarre ad campaign that featured a vaguely unsettling , ghostly woman urging viewers to\njust go with the flow\n\u2014 it was strange enough , in fact , that it inspired a string of parody videos that circulated the internet .\nthe company blew out remaining touchpad inventory for as little as $ 99 , a move that one employee we spoke to called a\njoke .\nat that point , it was nothing more than a dead tablet walking . ( demand for the $ 99 touchpad was so strong from internal sales to hp employees alone that it brought down the company ' s entire public e - commerce system , which shared the same infrastructure . )\non the conference calls and around the table will know each other . for a narrow stratum of the british aristocracy and civil service , the art of planning major funerals \u2013 the solemnity , the excessive detail \u2013 is an expression of a certain national competence . thirty - one people gathered for the first meeting to plan churchill\u2019s funeral , \u201coperation hope not\u201d , in june 1959 , six years before his death . those working on london bridge ( and tay bridge\nof course , it should go without saying that the depiction of shark behavior is all wrong , too . just as with \u201cthe shallows\u201d , there\u2019s no way great whites would behave like this , even if they were offered up a couple of completely clueless , tasty humans . but that doesn\u2019t even matter in the grand scheme of things ; if this movie were true to life , mandy would never have gotten the chance to worry about the sharks .\ngeidt will contact the prime minister . the last time a british monarch died , 65 years ago , the demise of george vi was conveyed in a code word , \u201chyde park corner\u201d , to buckingham palace , to prevent switchboard operators from finding out . for elizabeth ii , the plan for what happens next is known as \u201clondon bridge . \u201d the prime minister will be woken , if she is not already awake , and civil servants will say \u201clondon bridge is down\u201d on secure lines . from the foreign office\u2019s global response centre , at an undisclosed location in the capital , the news will go out to the 15 governments outside the uk where the queen is also the head of state , and the 36 other nations of the commonwealth for whom she has served as a symbolic figurehead \u2013 a face familiar in dreams and the untidy drawings of a billion schoolchildren \u2013 since the dawn of the atomic age .\ntaking the left door will allow the game to proceed as normal ( sans the option to go downstairs , with the railing blocking the entrance to do so . ) instead of a keypad to access the mind control facility , you are presented with a voice box in which stanley must speak the password . he is unable to do so , and the narrator launches on a tirade about entering the right door and\ndoing whatever the hell you wanted\n.\nthis is where the decision only to show us scenes of disagreement between sansa and arya comes to fruition . surprise ! littlefinger\u2019s been busted \u2013 he\u2019s done himself out of a job by trying to pit the starks against each other . not only have arya and sansa been working to take him down , but they\u2019ve also had bran to help . littlefinger\u2019s tricks don\u2019t work on the starks , and he\u2019s reduced to begging for mercy . he gets none .\nhaving plans in place for the death of leading royals is a practice that makes some journalists uncomfortable . \u201cthere is one story which is deemed to be so much more important than others , \u201d one former today programme producer complained to me . for 30 years , bbc news teams were hauled to work on quiet sunday mornings to perform mock storylines about the queen mother choking on a fishbone . there was once a scenario about princess diana dying in a car crash on the m4 .\nswitchboards \u2013 the palace , downing street , the department of culture , media and sport \u2013 will be swamped with calls during the first 48 hours . it is such a long time since the death of a monarch that many national organisations won\u2019t know what to do . the official advice , as it was last time , will be that business should continue as usual . this won\u2019t necessarily happen . if the queen dies during royal ascot , the meet will be scrapped . the marylebone cricket club is said to hold insurance for a similar outcome if she passes away during a home test match at lord\u2019s . after the death of george vi in 1952 , rugby and hockey fixtures were called off , while football matches went ahead . fans sang abide with me and the national anthem before kick off . the national theatre will close if the news breaks before 4pm , and stay open if not . all games , including golf , will be banned in the royal parks .\ni recently heard this performed by wintley phipps . amazing ! my precious husband went home to be with jesus on january 26 , 2009 and my momma on april 20 , 2006 . this describes so very well how i have felt about death since coming to know jesus christ as my personal savior . it is such a comfort to those of us who have said a temporary ' see you later ' to those whom we love so dearly . what a blessing to have found this !\na bar owner attempts to discredit the new preacher with whom he is feuding by framing him with a photograph showing him drinking with women with bad reputations . the bar owner ' s adoptive mother , a member of the minister ' s church , supports the preacher and gets the photographic prints . when the bar owner struggles with his mother for the prints , he accidentally kills her . after the preacher ' s funeral sermon , the bar owner ' s conscience drives him to his death .\noutside , news crews will assemble on pre - agreed sites next to canada gate , at the bottom of green park . ( special fibre - optic cable runs under the mall , for broadcasting british state occasions . ) \u201ci have got in front of me an instruction book a couple of inches thick , \u201d said one tv director , who will cover the ceremonies , when we spoke on the phone . \u201ceverything in there is planned . everyone knows what to do . \u201d across the country , flags will come down and bells will toll . in 1952 , great tom was rung at st paul\u2019s every minute for two hours when the news was announced . the bells at westminster abbey sounded and the sebastopol bell , taken from the black sea city during the crimean war and rung only on the occasion of a sovereign\u2019s death , was tolled 56 times at windsor \u2013 once for each year of george vi\u2019s life \u2013 from 1 . 27pm until 2 . 22pm .\nshe uses the spear gun to reach the oxygen tank . she eventually is able to get it and changes oxygen tanks , giving her more air . she begins hearing a voice on the radio and discovers it ' s kate , she ' s still alive . lisa decides to use her scuba gear to lift the cage , getting her free . she swims out of the cage and finds kate , with a very bloody wound on her leg . they talk to taylor and tell him that they are going to try to swim to the top . he tells them to go for it , but not to go too fast or else they will die , due to oxygen bubbles going straight to their brain . they use the flares to ward off the sharks , which works . as they get halfway , they have to stop to decompress for five minutes . as the flare burns out , kate grabs another one but drops it . lisa grabs the last flare , and as she lights it , four or five sharks are circling them . they continue to fend the sharks off with the flare . when they get to the top , they swim to the boat . taylor , louis , and benjamin begin to help them back into the boat . suddenly , lisa is grabbed by a shark . she starts picking at its eye with her fingers , which works and it lets her go . lisa and kate are helped back into the boat .\nin greek myth , eurydice is a tragic object of love . when a fatal snake bite sends her to hell , her husband orpheus won\u2019t let her go , so he leverages his musical talents into a deal with hades and persephone : he may take eurydice back to earth , and life , with him if he goes in front and doesn\u2019t look back at her along the way . but , afraid she is not really there , he does look back . and she is lost forever .\nnitrogen narcosis affects people differently , sometimes not at all . despite having gone down to 50 m myself ( both in the water and in a hyperbaric chamber ) , i can\u2019t really say i\u2019ve ever felt intoxicated ( or \u2018narc\u2019d \ud83d\ude09 ) , but i\u2019ve seen some people totally lose it . however , being narc\u2019d has led to a number of divers suddenly thinking they either don\u2019t need their reg , or the fish they\u2019re looking at could use it , and they end up drowning .\nin theory , everything is settled . but in the hours after the queen has gone , there will be details that only charles can decide . \u201ceverything has to be signed off by the duke of norfolk and the king , \u201d one official told me . the prince of wales has waited longer to assume the british throne than any heir , and the world will now swirl around him at a new and uncrossable distance . \u201cfor a little while , \u201d wrote edward viii , of the days between his father\u2019s death and funeral , \u201ci had the uneasy sensation of being left alone on a vast stage . \u201d in recent years , much of the work on london bridge has focused on the precise choreography of charles\u2019s accession . \u201cthere are really two things happening , \u201d as one of his advisers told me . \u201cthere is the demise of a sovereign and then there is the making of a king . \u201d charles is scheduled to make his first address as head of state on the evening of his mother\u2019s death .\nlast month , mcnulty \u2014 one of the last senior staff who ' d been around for several product release cycles after the departures in january \u2014 called it quits along with other key members of hp ' s enyo team to go to google . sources tell us they ' ll head to the chrome group , where they ' ll rub shoulders with many former co -

aware and brilliant , with a voice that\u2019s evocative , turbulent , and unflinchingly confrontational . like hundreds of other young women , i turned to plath , with her pure , fearless authenticity , to ferry me through the tangle of growing up .\nonce stanley reaches the baby game , he continues to press the button to save the baby . after 2 hours , the narrator will add another game , one where stanley ( you ) have to save a puppy from piranhas by pressing another button in front of the first one . in order to beat both games , stanley has to go back and forth to press both buttons . after a total of four hours playing , stanley will be brought to a white room where he will see the divine art .\nthe next morning , the two sisters meet up with louis and benjamin who take the two to meet taylor . taylor is the captain of an old boat , which houses a rusty shark cage . taylor asks the two sisters if they ' ve ever been scuba diving before , which both claim they have . louis and benjamin are the first two to get into the shark cage . they get in and are lowered into the water . lisa and kate go into another room and get fitted into scuba gear .\nfor several years , the palace has been discreetly trying to ensure charles\u2019s succession as head of the bloc , in the absence of any other obvious option . last october , julia gillard , the former prime minister of australia , revealed that christopher geidt , the queen\u2019s private secretary , had visited her in february 2013 to ask her to support the idea . canada and new zealand have since fallen into line , but the title is unlikely to be included in king charles\u2019s proclamation . instead it will be part of the discreet international lobbying that takes place as london fills up with diplomats and presidents in the days after the queen\u2019s death . there will be serious , busy receptions at the palace . \u201cwe are not talking about entertaining . but you have to show some form of respect for the fact that they have come , \u201d said one courtier . \u201csuch feasting and commingling , with my father still unburied , seemed to me unfitting and heartless , \u201d wrote edward viii in his memoirs . the show must go on . business will mix with grief ."]}

may 1949 .\nfor british cinema , 1949 was an annus mirabilis . it was the year of the third man and the year that ealing studios , under the watchful eye of sir michael balcon , released not one but three comic masterpieces : kind hearts and coronets , whisky galore ! and passport to pimlico .\nset in dublin and reminiscent of everything from classic ealing comedies like\npassport to pimlico\nand\nthe lavender hill mob\nto the roddy doyle adaptations\nthe commitments\nand\nthe snapper ,\nlife ' s a breeze\nremains its own film , and that ' s due to the spirit of irish writer -

that established it as a specialist in a certain kind of clever , whimsical and very british comedy . ealing ' s magic touch for comedy continued with the lavender hill mob , the man in the white suit ( 1951 ) and the ladykillers ( 1955 ) .\nto order this film you need to be logged in as a club leader .\nthe inspirational , thoroughly festive ending is guaranteed to bring tears to the eyes .\nto the trailer to give you a flavour of argento ' s 1975 film .\nit comes as a relief to all concerned when a solution that allows both sides to save face is found , and the burgundians are almost happy to see a brand new ration book awaiting each of them at the party commemorating their reunification . it might be set in the aftermath of the war , but in this age of austerity , political devolution and the big society , it\u2019s a matter of some surprise that passport to pimlico hasn\u2019t been selected for the remake treatment ; it\u2019s nearly as timely now as it was then .\nthis exploration of the british ( or specifically english ) character is at the heart of passport to pimlico . for all their dogged resistance , the burgundians never lose sight of their true national identity , as the film ' s most memorable line wittily makes clear :\nwe always were english and we always will be english , and it ' s just because we are english that we ' re sticking up for our right to be burgundian !\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\ncomedy of the consequences when the inhabitants of pimlico discover they are part of the duchy of burgundy and declare their independence from england and its post -

interested government bureaucrats , passport to pimlico demonstrates and endorses the utopia of a civilised community with consensus politics sustaining the ideological status quo .\ndocumenting a one - day collaborative art event held on 5 may 2014 , in pimlico ' s largest housing estate . featuring over 60 artists , led by art . . .\npassport to pimlico has the distinction of making pouring rain and the onset of cold weather the satisfying and suitably up - beat coda to its story . somehow the teasingly self - conscious shots of the mediterranean or latin american signifiers which open the film are indeed proven to be a dupe and a distraction from the reality that is britain in the late forties . what we see in passport to pimlico , however , is a singularly ealingesque version of reality , informed by producer michael balcon ' s pursuit of\nbritishness\nwithin the unique self - defining parameters of the\nbritish film .\nthe film becomes a vehicle by which the british may actually experience their fantasies and dreams only to find that they do not sit easily with the much more acceptable and comfortable aspects of merely trusting and enjoying the circumstances they have inherited . far from being a reactionary and conservative position , this is viewed within the film as progressive because it sustains particular kinds of values and behaviour which would be lost to misdirected aspirations unsuitable to a british temperament , defined it seems , by wartime consensus and a nostalgia for imagined communities and significant nationhood .\nwhisky galore ! was well - received on its release . it came out in the same year as passport to pimlico and kind hearts and coronets , leading to 1949 being remembered as one of the peak years of the ealing comedies . in the us , where whisky galore ! was renamed tight little island , the film became the first from ealing studios to achieve box office success . it was followed by a sequel , rockets galore ! . whiskey galore ! has since been adapted for the stage , and a remake was released in 2016 .\nbrace yourself for a shock - according to a recently - discovered and authentic legal document that is centuries old , brooklyn belongs to iceland ! consequently , people travelling to and from brooklyn must now carry a passport or visa , declare items of value at the brooklyn customs points , and perhaps even converse in icelandic ! it is a similar , mind - bending assumption ( with hilarious practical implications ) that british viewers have to make when watching\npassport to pimlico\n( a london district near buckingham palace , no less ) . in the film , much of pimlico ( or\nburgundy\nas it is now called ) looks like a bomb - site , which it probably was still at that time in the aftermath of world war ii . as one of the so - called\nealing comedies\n, it ranks alongside other films in this group like\nkind hearts and coronets\nand\nthe lavender hill mob\nwhich parody - but in an affectionate way - various aspects of british social life . conversation is always very parochial and petty . at the same time , this film preserves certain other conventions of the time - for example , there really was a restriction on how much money people could take out of britain which lasted until the 1970s . in\npassport to pimlico\n, people travelling on the underground railway have to declare there currency at the\nburgundy\ncustoms points . above all , margaret rutherford stands out as the unworldly history professor with sweeping convictions . this charming films preserves a way of life which , though long gone , is not forgotten .\nand of course , the ealing comedies are where so much joy comes from . barr continues : \u201cthe release in quick succession in 1949 of passport to pimlico , whisky galore and kind hearts and coronets seemed to inaugurate a cycle . of the eight or nine films which are still , like these , readily identified with the ealing comedy label , all except kind hearts belong very much to both the landscape and the mood of post - war britain ; it is from them that our whole image of ealing derives . \u201d ( barr , p 4 - 5 )\nof course , that also means that somewhere there ' s an original , wayne ' world 2 script that the world has never seen that is completely different than the film we got . passport to pimlico is a film about a region of britain that discovers that , due to a recently unearthed manuscript , they ' re actually part of the burgundy region of france . we can ' t begin to imagine how such a setup would be integrated into a wayne ' s world movie . maybe wayne and garth discover that their basement is legally part of canada ?\nin this fraught time when the british people in their wisdom ( or lack of it , depending on your point of view ) have decided they want no more of europe , there could hardly be a more appropriate film to show than passport to pimlico , a delightful ealing classic ( saturday , gold ) . directed by henry cornelius and written by teb clarke , it reflects in microcosm what the nation has just been through , a big difference being that it\u2019s played for laughs and i don\u2019t remember many of those during the referendum .\nthe words of betty warren , a fictional grocer ' s wife in the 1948 film comedy passport to pimlico [ 1 ] encapsulate the complexities embedded in notions of border in britain ' s immediate postwar years . if a border determines who it is you want to keep out , a clue to the british state of cultural ambiguity is found in russia ' s changing status . within the space of just ten years , russia went from foe , to ally , to foe , to ally , to foe again . churchill ' s speech in the same year that passport to pimlico was released , notoriously resolves this ambiguity by proposing the most immovable of all borders between us and them in the architectural figure of an ' iron curtain ' . despite this , in the light of russia ' s in - and - out running , it was surely difficult to define britishness simply as a state of not being russian . in architecture the influential editor of the architectural review , jm richards , was preoccupied with definitions of britishness , which explicitly reject such a fix . the magazine itself came to be associated with the forging of a new and peculiarly british hybrid version of picturesque modernism , most famously realised at the festival of britain in 1951 \u2013 which in itself required the merging of previously unassailable aesthetic borders , between the rigours of modernism and the vagaries of the picturesque .\nt . e . b . clarke was the master of taking an interesting situation , then stretching it beyond its logical conclusion . that\u2019s how we get a film like passport to pimlico , with its wonderful premise and the results that follow . clarke had actually begun the ealing comedies , writing hue and cry , which kicked things off in 1947 . clarke wrote several films that would be directed by crichton , including hue and cry , the world war ii drama against the wind , the lavender hill mob ( which would win clarke an oscar for best story and screenplay ) and the titfield thunderbolt . but he also worked with other directors . he earned an oscar nomination for writing passport to pimlico , which was directed by henry cornelius and he wrote the blue lamp for basil dearden , an ealing drama which would win best british film at the baftas . years later , after ealing , clarke would earn a third and final oscar nomination for his adaptation of sons and lovers .\nthrough the listings , you will also be able to use the genome search function to find thousands of radio and tv programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the bbc website .\nthe information comes from the upcoming biography of sherry lansing entitled leading lady ( via the hollywood reporter ) . according to the story , mike myers had always wanted to base a wayne ' s world script on a 1940 ' s british comedy called passport to pimlico . according to producer lorne michaels , myers believed that paramount knew this and had obtained the rights so that he could do it . however , this wasn ' t the case . when lansing discovered what happened , things got a little . . . let ' s go with heated . lansing apparently laid into mike myers in a meeting , threatening him and all his worldly possessions . according to the book , she said . . .\nthe british state\u2019s response to these transgressions provides the comedy\u2019s most disturbing , and surprising image : the cordoning off of pimlico by a barbed - wire fence , an imposition of a physical , national border complete with passport controls . the source of control and restriction of daily life is consistently shown as a bureaucratic , impersonal state . exactly who has propriety over definitions of nationality is questioned . nationality defined through delineation , the imposition of borders defining who is inside and who is the enemy , is particularly called into doubt . images of londoners throwing food over the pimlico barbed wire are a pointed reminder of the berlin airlift of the same year the film was released , when the non - communist zones of berlin were impelled to receive their supplies by air .\nthis website uses cookies . we use technologies , such as cookies , to customise content and advertising , to provide social media features and to analyse traffic to the site ( including the use of ad blockers ) . by continuing to use our website you consent to our privacy and cookie policy . read more\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\nand so , it came to an end . not with a whimper , but with a bang : passport to pimlico , one of the best known ' ealing comedies ' , one of the films that ( it is claimed ) speaks for the whole of the studio ' s output and thematic interests , and one of the films that first sparked my love of ealing many years ago . it remains a film of its time and place but , watching it during a time of british recession and austerity , it is also a film that can still provide a satirical edge to events , over sixty years on .\nthis very funny british comedy shows what might happen if a section of london , in this case pimlico , were to declare itself independent from the rest of the uk and its laws , taxes & post - war restrictions . merry mayhem is what would happen . the explosion of a wartime bomb leads to the discovery of ancient documents which show that pimlico was ceded to the duchy of burgundy centuries ago , a small historical footnote long since forgotten . to the new burgundians , however , this is an unexpected opportunity to live as they please , free from any interference from whitehall . stanley holloway is excellent as the minor city politician who suddenly finds himself leading one of the world ' s tiniest nations . dame margaret rutherford is a delight as the history professor who sides with pimlico . others in the stand - out cast include hermione baddeley , paul duplis , naughton wayne , basil radford & sir michael hordern . welcome to burgundy !\nin the aftermath of pimlico\u2019s transformation into burgundy , a series of established social borders are transgressed . the change to continental , sultry weather turns the squalid back yards into a site for romance . a female citizen of pimlico and the young burgundian duke kiss : a challenge both to the fixed character of british rectitude , and the body\u2019s own borders . the assailant is european \u2013 someone who had been quite literally out - of - bounds for the duration of the war . on becoming burgundians , after - hours drinking , free dancing and singing are instigated in pimlico : all social activities , then as now , previously contained by licence , and all associated not with britain but with the continent . rationing and trade restrictions are dispensed with .\ndespite its endearing qualities this is far from a perfect production . the play did not run like clockwork with the audience experiencing long and frequent periods of darkness between scenes and i was somewhat doubtful about the authenticity of the play when i witnessed a policeman wearing jeans . nonetheless there is certainly no need for a passport for the audience to be whisked away to a bygone era .\npimlico , a few years after the end of the second world war . london is suffering the torment of rationing and a record - breaking heatwave . meanwhile , the local people are informed that an unexploded bomb , buried in a local derelict site , is to be detonated .\nalthough it is a reaction to them , passport to pimlico is more than an amiable satire on austerity britain and cold war us dependency . the film projects an english ambivalence to both socialism and free - market capitalism \u2013 the two forces which would battle for the hearts and minds of post - war britain . more important , the text highlights the arbitrary nature of national identity and its narrative is designed to and does briefly liberate its english protagonists from the restrictions of their national identity . of all the ealing comedies \u2013 which \u201cpleased everybody by showing english people to be kindhearted , eccentric and inefficient\u201d [ 15 ] \u2013 this is perhaps the most subversive . as well as presenting an alternative to the image of the english as bumbling and deferential , it also allows for the possibility that such englishness is an invention and therefore capable of reinvention .\nthis is where things get really fun \u2013 with the town being barricaded , with british citizens coming in to shop and being stopped for not having their passports on the way back . and suddenly it becomes an international situation , one which has the people of pimlico and the government of britain both trying to figure out what comes next .\nthis last - mentioned , by geoff brown , is one of the highlights of the volume . brown considers the ealing scores of modernist composer georges auric , the youngest member of the 1920s parisian group of composers known as les six . auric composed the music for nine ealing films , including dead of night ( 1947 ) , passport to pimlico and the lavender hill mob , and the essay makes a convincing case that a studio which aimed ( in balcon\u2019s phrase ) at \u2018projecting britain and the british character\u2019 was also , as brown suggests , \u2018enriched by a european perspective\u2019 .\n1 . passport to pimlico , directed by henry cornelius , 1948 2 . reyner banham , the new brutalism , the architectural press ( london ) , 1966 , p13 . 3 . jm richards , the castles on the ground , the architectural press ( london ) , 1945 , p14 . 4 . ibid , p15 . 5 . ibid , p18 . 6 . ibid , pp55 -

set anxieties . \u201cthe rumour was that it was a bummer , \u201d she explains . the problem wasn\u2019t the story \u2013 a tale involving unexploded bombs , parchment mcguffins and a small corner of london that would be forever burgundy \u2013 so much as director henry cornelius\u2019s overruns . \u201cthere was an awful lot of friction between cornelius ( pictured ) and michael balcon , \u201d murray explains . \u201cit was supposed to take six weeks to make . i think it took six months . \u201d\ni commend pictures that try something different . many films just seem like re - treads of old ideas , so that is the big reason i so strongly recommend passport to pimlico . the movie is set just after ww2 and the post - war shortages and rationing seem to be driving londoners\nbarmy\n. the film centers on a tiny neighborhood in london called pimlico . they , too , are sick of not being able to buy what they want but can see no way out of it . that is until they accidentally stumble upon a hidden treasure and a charter which officially named this neighborhood as a sovereign nation many hundreds of years ago ! with this document , they reason , they can bypass all the rationing and coupons and live life just as they want , since it turns out they really aren ' t british subjects ! where the movie goes from there and how the crisis is ultimately resolved is something you ' ll need to see for yourselves . leave it up the brilliant minds of ealing studios to come up with this gem !\nthe wayne ' s world movies are such ridiculous fun to watch , one could easily assume they were equally fun to make . however , it turns out the sequel was a lot more stressful to produce , as the film had to be completely rewritten with little time to spare . according to a new biography of former studio chief sherry lansing , she had to force mike myers to rewrite the entire film movie because his original script was based on another movie , but paramount didn ' t have the rights to the underlying source .\npasspot to plimco is simply a wonderful little film about the residents of the london district of pimlico . after the accidental discovery of an early medieval treaty and some treasure , the residents find out that they are actually part of the duchy of burgundy . henceforth , they are independent from great britain . they organise a government , with the local shopkeepers and bank manager . and for the rest of london it is a godsend , as rationing does not apply to pimlico , and goods can be bought cheaply . so hundreds of market trader flood the streets . eventually it is decided to close the\nborder\nwith pimlico . the children are evacuated and food is stored away . meanwhile the duke of burgundy turns up and is procliamed the sovereign . eventually after several humorous adventures , the inhabitants faced with starvation , decide to rejoin britain . its a great film thats bursting with that great humour that ealing studios were known for . well worth a watch\npleasant story of the community of pimlico in london who , after an unexploded ww2 bomb explodes , find a royal charter stating that the area they live in forms part of burgundy . this movie works because it appeals to the fantasy a lot of us have about making up our own rules and not having to listen to them . a solid cast of british stalwarts , especially stanley holloway , makes this more believable . there are some very nice moments in the film , such as when the people have ran out of supplies and other londoners on the other side of the barricade start throwing food and other things over to them . even though you always knew pimlico would become part of the uk again , the people of pimlico and as a consequence the viewer doesn ' t mind when this happens , leaving a nice happy feeling . it ' s amazing to think that these low budget movies from a small studio in london still remain so popular over fifty years later . the producers must have got something right .\nplease tick to indicate that you understand the above and agree not to share any material from this version of genome externally .\nafter an unexploded bomb exposes a hidden treasure trove , the residents of post - war pimlico find an ancient document that declares they are officially part of burgundy in france . thinking it could be a good earner , they declare independence from britain , despite the best efforts of the british government to stop them .\nas part of this , rank decided to dedicate its highbury studios to the production of b movies . it intended to use these films to develop the careers of production staff and stars , particularly the lovely young things attending the rank charm school \u2013 another initiative designed to mirror hollywood . penny and the pownall case was the first film to come out of the highbury experiment .\nwhen an un -

time director , alexander mackendrick , was chosen from within ealing ' s workforce ; he was employed as a production designer . the film was produced at the same time as passport to pimlico and kind hearts and coronets ; all three comedies were released into uk cinemas over two months .\nalthough set in a distant day the play is surprisingly topical . from a mention of \u2018boosting the economy\u2019 to looting and rioting , there seems to be a foreshadowing of modern day events . marika mckennell gave a plausible performance - from pulling off a cockney accent to bursting into song and jamie webb who played mr . pemberton was perfectly cast for the role of an unassuming resident of pimlico who suddenly finds himself in the spotlight as prime minister of burgundy .\nthe scenario is this : in a postwar britain even more austerity - gripped than the brexiteers claim it is now , an unexploded german bomb finally explodes in a building in london\u2019s pimlico revealing a cellar full of treasures and , more importantly , a royal charter signed by edward iv ceding the area to the duke of burgundy .\nwith the state\u2019s jurisdiction temporarily removed whilst the two parties negotiate , pimlico\u2019s business community grasps its new found economic and political freedom with both hands : \u201cration books ? this is burgundy ! \u201d identification papers are \u201critually destroyed\u201d [ 20 ] in a gesture of defiance as the locals enjoy the spontaneously relaxed burgundian licensing laws . however , in little time , the district has become a magnet for black marketeers on a scale which threatens to unleash anarchy onto its streets . before the citizens can appeal to the state for help , they find their \u201cborders\u201d have been closed . their bluff called , the residents of pimlico have become burgundians , trapped in an england within england .\nwith its strong location work , including shots in piccadilly circus ( where several pimlico kids go to watch a gaumont - british newsreel about their street ) , the use of whitehall , and the underground ( the scenes where the pimlico brigade stop the tube to check passports and to check food stocks is a particular highlight ) , there is little doubt this is one of ealing ' s most obviously ' london ' films . but the comic treatment of more universal themes of british community , identity ( ' it ' s because we are english that we ' re sticking up for our rights to be burgundian ' ) and democracy ( a sign reading ' 3 % for , 3 % against , 94 % don ' t know ' seems particularly apt to the film ' s national vision ) shine through , and reassert the film ' s claims to classic status within ealing ' s 95 films , and british cinema more generally .\nalthough basil dean made films at ealing in the 1930s and the bbc bought the buildings and started producing there in 1955 , \u2018ealing films\u2019 \u2013 and most often people say \u2018ealing comedies\u2019 \u2013 are regarded as those made under producer michael balcon between 1938 and 1959 . ( there is a handful of \u2018ealing\u2019 credits at the end when he was working with mgm ) . these seventy or so features \u2013 which include passport to pimlico ( 1949 ) , kind hearts and coronets ( 1949 ) and the ladykillers ( 1951 ) are understood to be in some sense quintessentially british \u2013 or perhaps that should be english . these are also films that encapsulate much of what we think about the war and about the post - conflict world and its utopian aspirations .\nthis production sketch shows the \u2018pimlico\u2019 of the film starting to take shape on the ealing drawing boards . pictured is the fictional miramont place ( lambeth road and hercules road in real life ) . an unexploded bomb discovered in the wastelands beyond sparks the discovery of ancient documents that leads its denizens to declare themselves citizens of an independent burgundy . think of cornwall , only with more barbed wire and fewer pasties .\nthe new citizens of pimlico redefine britishness in their own terms . the state of britishness paradoxically occurs only when the district becomes ersatz france by becoming burgundy - a mythic place in between the two , neither france nor britain . britishness exists only when national borders are smeared .\nthis movie is set in the early post - ww2 years . rationing is a part of everyday life and ruined buildings after the blitz still pepper the cityscape of london . after a left over bomb detonates , a tomb with treasure and a parchment proclaiming that pimlico is a part of burgundy is found . being suddenly inhabitants of a piece of france in england , the inhabitants of pimlico no longer feel they need to ration or pay taxes to great britain . then it escalates . light in tone , this film deals with real problems facing the citizens of most countries post - ww2 . after the war , rationing was still in effect for many years and sometimes it was hard to make ends meet . this film addresses these issues with humour and wit .\nafter celebrating east end boy alfred hitchcock through the summer , the bfi is now looking to the west of london \u2013 to ealing studios .\nclassic british comedy directed by henry cornelius . when an unexploded bomb goes off in pimlico , documents are uncovered which reveal that this part of london in fact belongs to burgundy in france . an autonomous state is set up in a spirit of optimism , but the petty squabbles of everyday life soon shatter the utopian vision of a non - restrictive nation .\nin this description , the worlds of film , town planning and architecture are like a dreamscape in which the trauma and the possibilities of border absence and border imposition are more , or less , consciously played out . it happened here demonstrates with devastating effect the absence of transparency , clarity and moral rigour in the immediate postwar years which it was important for the next period of immovable borders to challenge . yet that moment of flux and uncertainty , where the cold war did not yet overwhelm decisions from the most politically strategic to the most personal , has a kinship with our own time . real architectural and social possibilities \u2013 suggested by the fantasies of both passport to pimlico and the temporary structures of the festival of britain \u2013 could , and can , be mooted . looking back , what is uncanny is the way , in the postwar decade , the ghosts of political borders inevitably came to haunt the more intimate territories of everyday life .\nmuch like passport to pimlico , whisky galore , part of that first way of ealing comedies to sweep across britain in the summer of 1949 and then come to the states , takes a very simple idea and stretches it beyond its logical conclusion . in this case , it\u2019s that a small island off the coast of scotland has just about run out of whisky in 1943 , as the war struggles on . into this problem step two soldiers and one very fortunate accident . the first office is captain waggett , desperate to get the correct ammunition for his rifles , and frustrated beyond belief at the islanders he is forced to deal with . the other soldier is islander sergeant odd , who is home on leave and hoping to propose to peggy , the shopkeeper\u2019s daughter ( peggy is played with sultry appeal by joan greenwood , whose smoky voice would also come in handy for her major female roles in kind hearts and coronets and the man in the white suit ) . these two men would likely be somewhat at odds normally . but what happens in the meantime is that a freighter runs aground just offshore \u2013 a freighter with 50 , 000 cases of whiskey .\narthur pemberton cherishes a plan to create a children ' s play area from the wartime ruins but is dismissed with the rebuff that\nthis borough is in no position to finance daydreams .\nthis moment alone distills some of the film ' s central premises about the tensions between pragmatism and imagination , forward - thinking and backward - looking , inhibition and liberation , and the role of the individual within the community . it is also a typically\nealing\nscenario , in that important issues in ealing movies were often explored through narratives involving children . these films include hue and cry and mandy . pemberton equates the children ' s play area with the future and the transition from post - war inertia into a new decade energised by the young . he sees this initiative as an opportunity to liberate a future generation into the freedoms fought for by his generation . passport to pimlico essentially examines the problems of this transition by demonstrating the possibilities inherent in having particular freedoms .\nit ' s time for the annual london to brighton antique car rally , and alan mckim and ambrose claverhouse are not going to let their friendship stop them from trying to humiliate each other . . . . see full summary \u00bb\npassport to pimlico captures england as it struggles to come to terms with the end of empire and the formation of the welfare state \u2013 whose ethos , to my mind , it affirms . although the text could be accused of espousing precisely the sort of inward - looking englishness which british airways parody to their advantage , in the context of the decline of the empire , it could also be seen as an honest recognition of the need to reconstruct england and reassess its position in the world order . the closure of the colonial chapter of its history and the simultaneous emergence of the new global super powers rapidly and drastically undermined britain\u2019s position as a world power . indeed , the film features an obvious parody of the berlin blockade as the citizens of london shower burgundy with food parcels . taken along with the film\u2019s general tone of moderation , the comparison with the cold war posturing of the super powers is pointed : intractable conflicts are the logical extension of entrenched ideology and dogma , whether at home or abroad . the film suggests \u2013 perhaps naively \u2013 that , whatever its shortcomings , england is capable of striking a balance between the individual and the wider community .\nat present this site reflects the contents of the published radio times bbc listings . we will retain information submitted to us for possible future use , to help fill in gaps in the data and to help us bring the bbc\u2019s broadcast history to life , but we will not be publishing it at this stage ."]}

forwards through several months of time from the car accident , strange ' s recovery , multiple attempts to regain the use of his hands , to finally his training at kamar - taj . then the movie shifts into a different mode .\nin rare instances , cagliostro can become flustered with those she is close to . the main character can get options that allow them to carry cagliostro or pat her head , resulting in the alchemist becoming embarrassed . clarisse can achieve at making her blush as well by calling cagliostro her mentor . she tries to cover with the fake adorable girl act or with cold words , though it\u2019s obvious that cagliostro was affected .\nhurricane matthew may have done a number on your roof , but it ' s nothing compared to the chaos it wreaked on spooky empire . the annual horror convention had the bad luck to be scheduled for the very weekend that matthew hit the area , and ended up having to cancel with barely any notice . many attendees from out of town were stuck in their non - refundable hotel rooms , deprived of their planned photo ops , zombie walks and parties . it was a big blow to spooky , which is a labor of love run by a small cabal of horror fans who lack the deep pockets of , say , informa , the multinational corporation that owns megacon . luckily , most of the biggest names for the canceled october con are returning for this make -

changing world around her , cagliostro pursues alchemic research with single - minded stoicism .\n\u2015 five years ago , i wrote a column about some of the works of nobuyuki fukumoto , a manga artist sometimes affectionately called fkmt by his fans . it was a celebration of milestones like akagi and kaiji , and several . . .\ncagliostro : heh . safe ? i wouldn ' t say that . the death you witnessed in there was real .\ncagliostro : me with that doll in my arms . . . just imagine the picture it would paint . . .\nlyria : i have to say , cagliostro . . . you ' re passionate about the strangest things . . .\none of the subtle messages of this movie seems to be that today ' s palermo is not much different from the palermo of 1947 . in many ways , of course , sicily has changed since 1947 . this movie offers some keen social commentary about the catholic church , the italian political establishment and the declining nobility as they then existed and , in a more updated guise , still do . in fact , there are some not -

cast burruano and scaldati , are professional actors , and it shows . as in their previous films , the directors prefer quick , satiric sketches to developed characters , a rather limiting carryover from their tv work .\n( captain ) and company manage to chase out the imperial soldiers occupying the village .\n( captain ) and company repel the agents and prepare to face the strange man .\nshe had the unfortunate experience of watching the empire steal away her sisters from her orphanage . so now she is determined to prevent other children from suffering .\nimperial soldier : do whatever it takes to find it ! there ' s record of the founder staying here .\nthe party arrives at the village and finds imperial soldiers seeking research materials that cagliostro may have left behind in her heyday . she shouts obscenities at the imperial soldiers , angering them and causing them to attack .\ncagliostro : what do you expect me to do but laugh ? dignity . . . for alchemists ? what sort of dignity can an alchemist have !\ncagliostro : so there you have it . i ' m kinda done with the whole being -

centric films and considering they have no all - girls school in china . needless to say this will no doubt be a radically different picture\u2026\nthe three subsequent sequels are only linked by the theme - hauntings at girls ' schools - not by directors , stars or characters . therefore , each film can be viewed on its own , and in any order . almost the only link that i noticed , was one scene in whispering corridors where two girls walk up some leafy steps to the old school building , which looked remarkably like the iconic setting of the wishing stairs , the third film . soon i ' ll cover the rest of the films in the series . voice , the fourth , was reviewed here , though the fifth film that was rumoured to be in production hasn ' t yet materialised . so far in the whispering corridors series . . .\nthe original whispering corridors was directed by park ki -

year old girl with a sharp knife is enough to give me the willies . whispering corridors knows a good thing when it sees one and it doesn ' t try and break out of the box , at least when it comes to the ghost .\ndespite the problems , whispering corridors is still worthy of a look from anyone interested in the burgeoning asian horror scene . i ' m the first to admit i ' m completely jaded to the ever - popular girl ghost films after having sat through what seems like a million of them in the past few years . however , fans who ' re less familiar with the tropes of this particular subgenre will definitely find a few good chills littered amongst all the teenage melodrama .\nthe sequel of whispering corridors brings a flashier , dramatized approach which , hats down , needed a good pair of cojones to pull off . hyo - shin and shi - eun keep a secret out of their love relationship ; the former is sweet , caring and slightly suffocating , while the latter is passive and cautious . like the first part of whispering corridors , where characters find the other ones\u2019 story , min - ah discovers a journal of the two lovers , gradually unraveling their best and worst moments . the accent drifts on the individuals , letting only three of the girls weave the narrative line . the critique is less sharp . the students are honorific bullies , taunting and stressing over people they don\u2019t even care about . the teacher - student relationship becomes an important part of the plot , as it leads to pregnancy and ultimately suicide . but the critique could be extended on society as well , like the shock the classmates have when the girls come out , choosing to isolate them for it .\nperhaps my biggest complaint with whispering corridors is that it never manages to become as good as it could have been . featuring an opening murder sequence that ' s surprisingly graphic for the new wave of asian ghost stories and a\nhaunted school\nthat just oozes atmosphere throughout its long , empty halls , i went into the film expecting something on par with the brilliant eko eko azarak : wizard of darkness & # array ; the first of the japanese misa kuroi films . that title ( made in 1995 & # array ; three years prior to whispering corridors ) was also set in the closed environment of a school , but never skimped on the gore , sleaze , and supernatural overtones . park ' s film could have been a korean variant on the same themes , but instead seems more content to play up the teenage melodrama over the spooky goings on . unfortunately , if i wanted to watch that sort of thing , i could just seek out re - runs of beverly hills , 90210 .\nobviously , the movie suffers for its story problems , but , strangely , they almost don\u2019t matter . the atmosphere created by park is simply astounding . the school location itself is conducive to creating an overall creepy vibe . shot mostly indoors , whispering corridors takes place almost entirely inside a school house , complete with blank walls and empty desks . the building seems to consist mostly of cramped , crowded classrooms and long corridors , giving the film an overall feeling of claustrophobia . this is particularly creepy , since so many of the really good scenes take place at night , the darkness heightening that closed - in feeling . when teachers are running through the halls from jin - ji , it\u2019s no surprise she\u2019s around every corner . there is nowhere to run . the walls feel like they\u2019re closing in , the very building trapping them inside .\nbut still falls short in providing a coherent storyline . i have no doubt that this film is more intelligible to those who speak korean but i was a bit lost at times and couldn ' t keep up with all the characters . the story is about the angry ghost of a dead student at an all - girl school who periodically turns up in the guise of someone new . . . or something . like i said , it ' s hard to follow . but the eerie photography and reliance on practical scares make it worthwhile . far too many horror films these days are too slick and well - polished for their own good . whispering corridors features a certain rawness in it ' s grainy film stock and editing that gives the film a rather unique atmosphere . the gore isn ' t terribly excessive , nor is the film extreme in any way . but if you ' re in need of something different and with a weird edge to it then go for whispering corridors . try hard to keep up though . the dvd is in 1 . 85 : 1 anamorphic widescreen with dolby / dts 5 . 1 sound .\nfour years after the b . o . flop of \u201cvoice , \u201d south korea\u2019s \u201cwhispering corridors\u201d franchise tries once more for resurrection with \u201cblood pledge , \u201d centered again on ghostly goings - on in a girls\u2019 high school . inexplicably roasted by local crix , this fifth entry , focused on a suicide club , still managed a moderate 700 , 000 admissions in its june release ( considerably more than \u201cvoice\u201d and \u201cmemento mori\u201d ) and ranks as solidly entertaining , if hardly original , horror fodder . ancillary , perhaps as part of a series boxed set , beckons in western markets .\nbullying , loyalty and cruelty play a role here too , but in the background ; the plot lines aren\u2019t coherently jointed to allow the social message to get through . the tone shifted completely from the moral critique to individual guilt . the pace is either too fast or two slow , and the suspense is replaced by cheap scary shots that ruin the possible mystery . the characters raise no empathy . the plot was full with potential , but the story became only a pretext for the happenings . wishing stairs was too commercial and graphic to keep up with the whispering corridors name .\nwhispering corridors is a korean horror movie , although the horror is more psychological combined with a dark atmosphere set in a school . so dont mistake this for some cheap horror , because in that case youll get sort of disappointed ( which unfortunately many people have done ) . the movie was a huge success in korea back in 1998 and now there has been made four detached follow - ups . director : je - yong lee ( bimil , acacia ) starring : mi - yeon lee , gyu - ri kim , kang - hie choi , jin - hie park , ji - hye yun\nthis is not to say that whispering corridors is a failure & # array ; just that it often finds itself at a point where it can go one of two ways : play it safe and stick with the formula or do something daring and original . it ' s disappointing that the film always takes the safe and easy way out of these situations . there are some genuinely creepy moments here ( wherein the camera prowls the halls while a moody score accompanies it ) and a few good scares . it ' s just hard to shake the feeling that this film could have been so much more .\nwhispering corridors is set in a fairly typical all - female school in korea , called jookran high school for girls , and the story begins on the night before the first day of the new school year . a female teacher called mrs park ( better known by her unaffectionate nickname \u2018old fox\u2019 on account of her nasty behaviour and treatment of the students ) , has discovered something mysterious and weird concerning a late pupil of the school called jin - ju . jin - ju had committed suicide in the school\u2019s art rooms nine years previously , and her ghost was said to haunt the art rooms which had been closed up after the incident .\nif viewing whispering corridors taught me anything , it ' s that going to school in south korea is scarier than pretty much everything the average horror flick can throw at you . when you ' re not stressing out over your grades ( which is something these girls do almost as often as the japanese ) , you have to elude the sexual advances of your teachers , or worse yet , be able to take a good verbal tongue - lashing or old fashioned beatdown from them . because of all this , a killer girl - ghost haunting the grounds in search of vengeance seems almost quaint . i ' d rather take my chances with her .\nin fact , it is only when the movie does poke its head out of the box that we start to experience real problems . whispering corridors is actually trying to do two things at once . on the one hand , we have the story of jin - ji , who is exacting ghostly revenge on abusive teachers and trying to relive the high school experience she never had . on the other hand , however , screenwriter jung - ok in is also trying to use this story as an indictment of the korean school system , exposing the harsh pressures and abuse suffered by students . unfortunately , whispering corridors fails at merging these two concepts together . in order to incorporate these two ideas , the fast - paced ghost story is interspersed with disturbing images of school violence , sexual harassment and bullying . while the message of the social commentary scenes is noble , they don\u2019t relate to the haunting at all , and they\u2019re too long and too numerous to just blend into the background . further , no matter how pure the intention , scenes of girls gossiping in an abandoned building or harassing each other in the bathroom just aren ' t that interesting , especially when you know there\u2019s a murdering ghost around . as a result of these combined writing interests , nearly 50 % of the film seems to drag .\nwhispering corridors takes place in a korean all - girls\u2019 high school . it\u2019s kind of a crappy place to be . the competition is fierce , the teachers are abusive and students are distant and passive . oh , and its haunted by a murdering ghost named jin - ji , a student who died in an accident about 10 years ago . jin - ji\u2019s then - best friend , eun - young , has returned to the school as a teacher to discover the truth behind the mysterious deaths . what follows is your typical haunting / mystery in which we try to figure out which of the four main girls ( ji - oh , so - young , jae - yi , and jung - sook ) is really the ghost .\nkorean horror classic franchise \u201cwhispering corridor , \u201d to which four loosely - connected sequels have been made , is receiving a chinese - language remake . it was announced sunday at the busan market . production will be handled by beijing - based beautiful creative force culture media , october pictures\u2019 seoul branch , and the original franchise\u2019s production house cine2000 . zhen qin , who studied film directing [ \u2026 ]\nand that\u2019s where the true horror is in whispering corridors : this film asks a lot of hard questions , to which the school board could only find an answer in attempting to have the film banned . it\u2019s a slow - paced , moody film with many resonant images and an eerie atmosphere , so if you\u2019re also looking for a fast fix of horror , you\u2019ve come to the wrong place . but it\u2019s probably the most essential film that has ever come out of korea , so if you feel frustrated by the slowness of the action and give up on it , you\u2019re really missing out on a gem . anyone who\u2019s ever looked back on their own school days with horror , revulsion or sadness will not fail to be touched and reminded of their own difficult past experiences by this film .\nkorean high - schools schools nest the territory of the living dead in the whispering corridors saga . with the ever - growing interest paid to the asian cinematography in the 90\u2019s , the horror world started anew , with the korean film industry being no exception . the first movie in the series came out after south korea abolished censorship ; park ki - hyeong ( acaccia , secret tears ) is incisive in attacking social themes and advancing critique of the educational system , although he only directed the first one . four other sequels followed its release , keeping some of its motifs : the nearly or entirely lesbian relationships , betrayal , competitiveness among students , the lack of solidarity between them and the setting : all - female high - schools . however , the action differs from one to another and each one has its particular message .\nthe whispering corridors movies , with its best and worst moments , are worth watching anytime and even more savory at a second or third watch . since most of the actresses were beginners when shooting , it\u2019s a chance to discover their roots . i strongly recommend the first two : they both bring awareness over some social issues and it\u2019s an opportunity to analyze a side of the korean culture , as they are set into an average school . the third one will give you the chills , though not exactly scary . voice will bring you to its own gracefully - crafted world and it\u2019s the most appealing movie in terms of visuals . last but not least , the final installment will take you through all the themes and make you emotional with one of the most dramatic ( and longest ) endings . so grab your popcorn and tell me what you thought of the movies !\nwhispering corridors is a korean horror film directed by park ki - hyung in 1998 about a series of unexplained murders committed by a ghost . eun - young , a former student turned teacher , investigates the murders after mrs . park , a fellow teacher calls her about jin - ju , a former friend of eun - young ' s . three students , ji - oh ( an art student ) , jae - yi ( a shy student ) , and jung - sook ( a strange and unpopular student ) , doing morning janitorial duties find her body hanging from a tree . although her death looks like a suicide , rumors fly around the school that jin - ju , an unpopular student who died years ago is back to take revenge on the teachers who tormented her . eun - young and the three students get caught up in the dark secrets of the school and must stop the ghost before she commits another murder .\nkorean horror . in an exclusive all - girls school , a former pupil returns to start a new job as a teacher and strikes up a friendship with two very different students . but when a teacher is found dead , apparently having committed suicide , circumstances that link the past and the present begin to unveil themselves . as the body count rises , the memories of past deaths begin to call forth a series of ghosts to haunt the corridors of this troubled school .\nand , to top all of this off , the camera work in whispering corridors is simply genius . park employs a lot of dolly shots , quick cuts and fast , wide - swinging angles . the camera , it seems , has a mind of it\u2019s own \u2013 a quiet , impartial yet active viewer of the scenes that play out before it . further , it doesn\u2019t just observe , it reacts . in the opening scene , when mr . oh , one of the worse teachers , is walking down the dark hallway with his flashlight , scanning the halls for any mischief , the camera rolls quietly behind him , following him and the path of his flashlight . when the light passes quickly across a particularly dark corner , revealing the ghost of jin - ji , it jerks back , as if it were surprised . later in the film , when mr . oh is trapped in the very same hallways , being stalked by jin - ji , the camera swings wide from one end of the hall to the other , freezing , as if in terror , when jin - ji is seen to be at both ends at once . when she attacks , she closes the distance without moving - - one second she ' s one place , the next somewhere much nearer . as if by reflex , the camera recoils , the same way a person would if a ghost suddenly launched at their face . by making the camera sentient , park creates an emotional bridge through which the audience can connect with the movie , making the experience intrinsically more personal .\nwith : with : oh yeon -

year - old fan of the game who responds to the suggestion the game may make him violent :\nthat ' s stupid , and besides i don ' t even know how to drive\n( harvey , 1977 ) . the issue is presented as somehow resolved , no longer a serious threat , even though children are still playing the offending game .\nthe advertisement featured the marquee picture from the game cabinet complete with muscle - car racing ghouls , and the first line describing the game is punctuated with tiny skull - and - crossbones graphics . the statement that the player will have to\n\ua78cget involved\ua78c in whatever way he wants\nsuggests a male audience , but more importantly , it suggests the game will provide an immersive , engrossing environment .\nthe film program is organized by christopher y . lew , mia locks , and aily nash .\nwhen exidy first began manufacturing death race , the company had not considered it as one of their more important designs . according to paul jacobs , who served as executive vice president for exidy in the 1980s , the game was\noriginally viewed by the company as nothing more than an intermediary piece with a limited run\n( brainard , 1983 ) . the game had been performing well , but had not attracted much attention and did not seem slated to become a hit when an associated press reporter based in seattle wrote a story raising questions about how child - appropriate the game was . the story captured public interest and triggered coverage in a variety of other outlets . in defending the game , exidy rarely addresses the game\ua78cs intended audience ; instead , the company seeks to minimize the games\ua78c violence and stresses that the publicity has been beneficial . jacobs repeated the belief that the publicity had been good for the company ' s image , had driven sales of the game , and had raised the image of the video game industry :\nin the book , each potter decoy carries a rucksack and a cage containing a stuffed owl . the decoys do not carry either of these in the film , and harry having his owl would serve as a give - away to the death eaters .\nthe cultural context into which exidy launched death race as an arcade upright in 1976 was shaped not only by the film that inspired the game , but also by a broader debate about media and amusement regulation and youth access in the united states . coin - op amusements had long been regarded with suspicion in the u . s . , and moral reformers had successfully influenced the regulation of film and comic books among other media . the comics code , in particular , resulted from efforts to curb the spread of materials deemed inappropriate for young readers . while u . s . video game manufacturers may have early thought of their machines as bar amusements intended for adult consumers , the appeal to and popularity among younger players fueled moral guardians anxieties around video games . arcade video games had no ratings system to indicate the intended or appropriate audience for particular machines . even the mpaa film ratings system was quite young at the time , and as roger ebert notes in his review of death race 2000 , that rating system was not entirely effective at keeping younger viewers away from adult materials . in the absence of a clear definition of appropriate audience for death race , moral guardians seem to have assumed that the game\u2019s accessibility to children meant it was intended for them .\nwhen , the british company stainless games released carmageddon , in 1997 , the public response bore striking similarities to the response to death race . carmageddon is a racing game with incorporated vehicular combat in which players gain extra time by damaging other vehicles , collecting bonuses , or striking pedestrians . like death race , the game featured vehicular violence that existed well outside established and accepted narratives of violence . in the united states , the entertainment software ratings board gave the game a rating of\nm ,\nthe board ' s second - most restrictive rating , intended to indicate that the game is suitable only for players who are at least 17 years of age . the game was censored in other countries , including the united kingdom , where censors insisted pedestrian victims\ua78c blood be changed from red to green to give credence to the claim that the victims were not human ( poole , 2000 ) . as in the case of death race , the controversy did not stifle sales and instead drove them . according to lead programmer and company co - founder patrick buckland :\nwe weren ' t known , the brand wasn ' t known \u2026 the game had to stand on its own two feet , and it might not have done that without the violence \u2013 though it did get fantastic reviews\n( the making of . . . , 2008 ) .\nin the final film in a three -

turn straight to the shaadi ka mandap .\nwatch it if you believe in love , and watch it if you don\u2019t . fact is , ok jaanu is probably one of the most heart - warming romances you will ever see in bollywood . and as for being a love story that portrays the meaning of true life partners , the last good one we saw was over a decade ago \u2013 baaghban ( 2003 ) , starring amitabh bachchan and hema malini .\n' ok jaanu ' stars adithya roy kapoor and shraddha kapoor in lead roles . leela samson who played in important role in tamil has been retained for the same role in bollywood version while naseeruddin shah has been roped in for the role played by prakash raj in tamil . ravi . k . chandran is handling the cinematography for the bollywood flick while its kollywood version had p . c . sreeram as its lensman .\ndirector mani ratnam ' s latest youthful romantic super hit ' o kadhal kanmani ' is presently being remade in hindi as ' ok jaanu ' . oscar winning composer and mani ratnam ' s regular music partner a . r . rahman had composed super hit songs for the tamil version . given the immense popularity of the composer in bollywood , tit was decided to retain the songs composed for tamil with hindi lyrics by gulzar .\n, ok jaau saw a limited growth at the box office . it collected rs 4 . 08 crore on friday , followed by rs 4 . 90 crore and rs 4 . 82 crore on saturday and sunday , respectively .\nthe non -

very unexpectedly she was diagnosed with an aggressive stage 3 cancer - after her surgery , she said to me quite chirpily , do you want to see my scars ?\nwade : that ' s correct . the owners , rachel and cynthia , they lost their mother to breast cancer at a time when people felt uncomfortable with shaved heads and watched their mother really withdraw from society and grieved over that . and women come through the doors once a month , women who are losing their hair , their eyelashes , their eyebrows , and they may get a makeover , they may get a facial , a massage , a pedicure , manicure , but ultimately it ' s a safe space where everything is free . they do it on a volunteer basis once a month . and it ' s a place where people can cry and laugh and connect with one another .\nbefore my time in\nchasing ice\nmusic and lyric by j . ralph\nbill westenhofer , guillaume rocheron , erik -

some were young women , some were older women - and followed the path of their illness and their fight against cancer . but it ' s really not a medical film . it ' s a film about their emotional lives and ultimately a film about their marriages and what the cancer does to their marriages .\ncornish : essentially , the heart of this movie isn ' t just how people deal with the cancer , but how women who are dealing with their sense of beauty and self - worth .\ncornish : you feel like you ' re being erased . i think that line really , really struck me when i was watching the film .\nwade : yeah , it ' s - why is hair so important ? that ' s really the central question in the film . in the face of a cancer diagnosis , in the face of potentially losing your life , does it matter that much that you ' re losing your hair ? and yet , it ' s such a defining aspect of how we look and how we present ourselves to the world and how the world perceives us . and it was very disturbing for many of the women who would be going into a store that they ' ve gone into five years prior with hair and they go in and they don ' t have any hair .\nthey don ' t have any eyelashes or eyebrows . and they ' re not recognized by the storekeepers . they ' re not recognized by the other customers . and it was so disturbing to them because , you know , who then am i in the world and how does the world see me ? and if these defining features are being taken away from my face , how do i navigate that and how do i navigate my place in the world ?\nmy immediate reaction was no . and she said , why ? and i said , i ' m scared . and then i realized , wait a minute , hold on . if i ' m making this film so that we can get to a place where scars are ok , if i , as the director , can ' t see her scars , there ' s something wrong . so i apologized to her and i said , you know what ? that ' s just - that was my fear and i need to get over it , and that ' s part of the reason i ' m making the film . yes , please show me your scars .\ncornish : as you said , this is also a movie about marriage and cancer ' s effects on people ' s relationships , kind of who deals with it well and who doesn ' t .\nwade : yes . there ' s so much pressure in that diagnosis that things really kind of explode open in many cases . and in the case of one woman who i followed , she ' d had cancer for 18 years , and the cancer really destroyed her husband first , emotionally . and it really driven them apart . and while i was filming , they broke up and he moved out of the house .\nnpr transcripts are created on a rush deadline by verb8tm , inc . , an npr contractor , and produced using a proprietary transcription process developed with npr . this text may not be in its final form and may be updated or revised in the future . accuracy and availability may vary . the authoritative record of npr\u2019s programming is the audio record ."]}

foot wall . a newsreel company later purchased the film and sent duncan a check for $ 350 .\n\u201cfinding rin tin tin\u201d has some good moments . of course it also has scenes of dog flatulence and belching , and the dog consuming alcohol . but overall , it is a pretty good one for the family as it doesn\u2019t contain strong language , and rin tin tin comes to the rescue on more than one occasion . corporal lee duncan ( tyler jensen ) takes a liking to the dog and persuades his commander to let him keep him .\nhereford , whose stand - alone garage on u . s . 287 long ago succumbed to a jam - packed , 8 , 000 - piece rin tin tin museum , is suing a hollywood studio over a just - released film that does not include her carefully bred rin tin tin descendants .\nrin tin tin x now does tv appearances and dog shows and will be a distinguished guest at the texas rose festival in tyler later this month .\nsoldiers drink alcohol in several scenes . the mean cook drinks to excess . rin tin tin inadvertently consumes a small bottle of whiskey and becomes drunk .\nhereford claims that the film companies knew she had the trademark but proceeded anyway . she says that the unauthorized use of the name rin tin tin \u201chas caused actual confusion , and is likely to cause further confusion\u201d as to the studios\u2019 affiliation with hereford or with her dogs descended from rin tin tin .\nat promotional events , lee would demonstrate how he worked with rin tin tin . audiences could see he used neither cruelty nor bribes , just his voice .\nin 1957 , duncan gave a puppy from rin tin tin iv to hereford\u2019s grandmother in houston and endorsed the breeding program to carry on the dog\u2019s bloodline . hereford helped her grandmother with the program and showed rin tin tin v for years , until hereford took over the operation in 1988 after her grandmother died .\nin reality , five puppies were found . and duncan kept two of them , a female he named nannette and a male - rin tin and tin .\nduncan continued breeding the rin tin tin line and he enjoyed training german shepherds . but , as orlean notes in the book , the dogs that appeared in subsequent films , on stage at personal appearances and on television may or may not have descended from the original rin tin tin . not all of the ancestors of the original rin tin tin grew into trainable dogs , so substitutes and even stunt doubles had to be brought in to do most of the work on a shoot . nevertheless , the public more or less bought the illusion that the dogs they saw on screen were related to the original rin tin tin .\nrecycling a title might be an invitation for litigation , even if the recycler ultimately prevails . ( see \ufeff rin tin tin , inc . v . first look studios , inc . , 671 f . supp . 2d 893 ( s . d . tex . 2009 ) ( holding that the film title finding rin tin tin : the adventure continues was fair use of the rin tin tin trademark ) . ) there are colorable arguments to be made that reusing a title runs afoul of state unfair competition laws , deceptive business practices and other torts , aside from trademark actions \u2013 so choosing a preexisting title could be risky for the recycler .\ni am deeply saddened and distressed to see this film company intentionally deceive the public by representing the dogs they used in the movie as rin tin tin .\ntop dog : a publicity shot from the 1950s television series , ' the adventures of rin tin tin . ' ( photo : globe photos , inc . )\n' rin tin tin is a remarkable book . . . a wonderfully entertaining account of one of the strangest partnerships in a very strange milieu ' john banville , guardian\nlee rubbed dirt in rin tin tin\u2019s fur to make him appear wolf - like , then convinced warner to let his dog have a go . he performed brilliantly .\nforty million americans watched the adventures of rin tin tin . it was exported to 70 countries . children loved the wild west adventures , chase scenes and gun fights .\nmeet rin tin tin the xxii , spokesdog for the american humane association , who recently presided over the ringing of the closing bell at the new york stock exchange .\nrin tin tin : the life and legend of the world ' s most famo . . . and over 2 million other books are available for amazon kindle . learn more\na new book chronicles the public fascination with the canine star and begs the question of whether we ' ve seen the last of rin tin tin on the big screen .\nduncan died the next year and , unfortunately , he never explicitly said what should happen to the dogs and the rin tin tin name . according to orlean , duncan gave the rights to the dog as a cinematic character to herbert b .\nbert\nleonard , the producer of\nthe adventures of rin tin tin .\nother than that , duncan did nothing to protect the copyrights , trademarks or other brand markings related to the rin tin tin legacy . orlean writes that he never had a lawyer .\neven so , the man who first found the dog in that bombed out shelter , lee duncan , said early on that there would always be a rin tin tin , and his words seemed prescient as the rin tin tin franchise has successfully reinvented itself following the initial success in silent films and then for several decades thereafter in\ntalkies ,\nradio and television . more recently , the rin tin tin name has mostly disappeared from the public eye amid a plethora of legal squabbles described in orlean ' s book .\nthe country journalist and breeder with rin tin tin vanity plates was hoping all copies of the offending film shot in bulgaria in 2006 and released here in 2008 would be destroyed .\n\u201cwithout evidence to the contrary \u2014 this court finds that defendants fairly used \u2018rin tin tin ' in the title of their motion picture about the historical dog , \u201d gilmore wrote .\nthe critics and the audience raved . rin tin tin became known as\nthe dog who saved warner brothers\n. . . and\nthe dog who saved hollywood .\nhereford takes offense at the movie finding rin tin tin , filmed in bulgaria in 2006 and previously released overseas but marketed on dvd in this country as of sept . 16 . she scoffs at the ears and the look of the pup in the movie and is offended by a scene in which a man drinks out of a cup in which the dog later urinates .\nalthough the series had been written for rin tin tin iv , lee\u2019s current dog , he was not clever enough to perform the role so another , unrelated dog was brought in .\nthe series ran until 1959 . there were several re - runs and in the seventies it was re - edited and shown again . another generation grew up loving rin tin tin .\nthe woman with the rin tin tin vanity plates on her 15 - year - old white van has spent years line - breeding generations of dogs to maximize the genetic input from rin tin tin iv , television star and sire of her grandmother ' s pups . the breeding started in houston , moved to pearland and then this country spot about 50 miles north of huntsville .\nfor this , hereford prays for monetary relief as well as a\npermanent injunction enjoining defendants from breeding and / or using rin tin tin line dogs in commercial promotion or advertising .\nbut u . s . district judge vanessa gilmore ruled thursday the movie producers ' use of rin tin tin in the title was a fair use and is protected by the first amendment .\nhe became inflamed with this passionate commitment to maintaining this legacy ,\norlean said .\nand he began saying , ' there will always be a rin tin tin . '\nluck and happenstance would reappear several more times in the lives of rin tin tin and his owner lee duncan . within a few years , the dog grew into an international sensation and brought millions of dollars to duncan , the movie studios and the television producers who made several films , a handful of television series and , of course , lots of rin tin tin merchandise .\nrin tin tin was cast in a few other movies before he began starring in his own films during an eight - year relationship with warner bros . the very first rin tin tin film released by warner bros . ,\nwhere the north begins ,\ngrossed $ 352 , 000 ( about $ 4 . 3 million today ) and propelled the dog to celebrity status .\nas orlean notes , it was really only a matter of time before leonard and hereford would collide . but , they weren ' t the only ones fighting over rin tin tin issues .\naccording to a lawsuit filed by daphne hereford in houston federal court , the original rin tin tin lived from 1918 until 1932 . lee duncan found the dog in france during world war i and brought him to america , where the canine\u2019s name and offspring became among the most famous television dogs of all time . duncan also began a dog breeding program based on rin tin tin .\nbut as far as warner brothers were concerned , rin tin tin could do no wrong . he was known as the \u2018mortgage lifter\u2019 because his movies were so profitable they always rescued their finances .\nduring world war ii , junior ' s son rin tin tin iii was used to recruit dogs for the war effort . by now there was a new canine star on the scene : lassie\nindeed , it ' s not hard to imagine orlean ' s book as the final chapter in the rin tin tin story . that would be a shame , but only time will tell .\nthis is a cute retelling of the classic rin tin tin story . adults beware , there are several corny scenes , but my younger children loved it ! considering it is a movie set in the midst of ww1 , i think they did a great job sheltering younger audiences from the horrors of war while telling the endearing true story of rin tin tin . our dog enjoyed it , too !\nhe was paid almost eight times more than his human co -

based lawyer , karen tripp , said the current case is about the dilution of trademarks .\ndaphne has a very strong trademark in rin tin tin . her registrations are incontestable ,\ntripp said .\nbased on the true story of rin tin tin , a german shepherd rescued by an american corporal , trained to aid wounded soldiers on the battlefield , and who eventually starred in a number of motion pictures from 1920 - 1931 .\nadding insult , the dvd release came just a week or so after the 90th birthday of the original german shepherd puppy rin tin tin , who was found by a world war i gi in the rubble of a kennel in france .\nrin tin tin went on the vaudeville circuit , with other big stars , and he did find some work in talkies , including the\nlone defender\nseries , which was panned by critics , although the public still loved rinty .\nthe story of rin tin tin begins in france , during world war i . lee duncan , who is never happy unless he has a pet , finds the puppy , along with its siblings and mother , in a bombed . . .\nhe locates nikolaus egger , an expert dog handler who has been captured as a pow . initially , egger is not eager to help duncan , but they soon bond through a common desire to help rin tin tin reach his full potential .\nof the two puppies duncan kept , one was a male and the other a female . he named them rin tin tin and nanette after a pair of dolls that had been popular in france as good luck charms during world war i .\nin one of the many strange components of this story , rin - tin - tin is supposed to be a half - wolf , half - dog mix . now rin - tin - tin was a great animal actor , but to paraphrase james thurber , rin - tin - tin looks no more like a wolf than calvin coolidge looks like the mgm lion . even so , friendly prospectors feel impelled to disguise him so his \u2018wolfness\u2019 won\u2019t bother the other animals . with a logic that only exists in the canine movie world , where dogs have iqs one hundred points higher than any of the humans , they glue a false beard to his muzzle and put gloves on his feet , so that no one will recognize him .\nat the time , bert [ leonard ] was suing the producers of ' rin tin tin k - 9 cop ' for cutting him out of the show ; the city of pearland , texas , where daphne was then living , was suing her to reduce the number of dogs she had on her property ; soon , bert would sue daphne again over her trademark for rin tin tin dog food , and columbia pictures would oppose her trademark on rin tin tin ' entertainment services , '\norlean writes .\nsony pictures , for arcane reasons having to do with copyright and the fact that bert owed them a fortune , was suing him for attempting to release the five colorized episodes of the television show as a film .\nhereford had been familiar with the riggins for several years through their association with the training program for lassie ,\nstates the newest complaint .\nin january 2014 , at daphne hereford ' s expense , carol riggins flew from california to houston , texas to pick up a rin tin tin line dog for breeding in accordance with criteria of the breeding and training program and policies of rin tin incorporated .\ni came to this book through glen david gold ' s book ' sunnyside ' , a plot strand of which fictionalised the war - time discovery of rin tin tin . i wanted to find out more about this phenomenon i had seen a little of , but knew almost nothing . susan orleans ' book provided more information than i had expected , and fleshed out the human stories of the people who figured they knew what rin tin tin ' s legend deserved . the intricacies of legacy , cinema , television and human - canine bonds all combine to give a fascinating view of this intriguing character - the conclusion seeming to be that there really is no end to ' rin tin tin ' . enjoyable , engaging and well researched . recommended .\nas hereford attempts to collar the breeding , kleven offers up his own version of a rin tin tin family tree of rights and is suing his former business partners and lawyers for fraud , elder financial abuse , legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty .\nevery hope and dream he had seemed to be focused on rin tin , and he felt there was something about the dog that was exceptional ,\nsaid orlean .\nbut a larger tragedy came in august 1932 . rin tin tin , at 13 years old , died unexpectedly . rumors began circulating that he had died in the arms of actress jean harlow , a neighbor , but orlean discounts that story in the book .\nthoroughly enjoyable , finding rin tin tin served a small story in a big helping . big movie production qualities showed throughout the film set in world war i . perhaps best of all , this tale brings a forgotten story to the forefront . from the time rinty was found and saved by lee duncun ( played convincingly by tyler jensen ) to where he becomes the best - loved dog ever in hollywood ( sorry , lassie ) , one is captured by his daring - do in times of peril and the warmth of his personality .\naccording to the new lawsuit , hereford ' s trademarks on the rin tin tin name include its use for live puppies , educational presentations , a mail - order fan club , magazines , playing cards , children ' s books , dog clothing and dog food .\nwhen lee finished his script , where the north begins , about a dog that rescues a child , he and rin tin tin went to \u2018poverty row\u2019 ( as the strip where small b - movie studios were located was known ) in hollywood and knocked on doors .\nlee , as rin tin tin\u2019s trainer , was also treated like a star . over the eight years with warner brothers he was paid the equivalent of $ 5 million ( \u00a33 . 2 million ) . he built a house in beverly hills and another in malibu .\nbut even the greatest can make mistakes . that\u2019s what i thought at first watching the scene when rin - tin - tin jumps and lands on the cactus . at first rinty is favoring his left foot , but in the next scene he is favoring his right . which foot was injured ? could rinty be guilty of a major continuity error ? then i realized that this \u201cfaux paw\u201d was done intentionally to see if the audience was paying attention . as usual , rin - tin - tin is way ahead of all of us .\nthe number of people who declared ' yo , rinty , ' which was the sort of signature phrase of the tv show , was heartening , said susan orlean - heartening enough to inspire her to write a whole book about the legend of rin tin tin .\nhe was probably the most profitable star warner brothers had ,\norlean said .\nevery time they got into trouble , they would release a rin tin tin film and bail themselves out . so they referred to him as ' the mortgage lifter . '\nthe book ' s publication underpins the continuing appeal of rin tin tin and , presumably , the dog character would still be a big box - office draw if a new movie were to come out . but , it ' s not certain that will ever happen .\none of the most acclaimed nonfiction books of 2011 , susan orlean\u2019s new york times bestseller rin tin tin is \u201can unforgettable book about the mutual devotion between one man and one dog\u201d ( the wall street journal ) . he believed the dog was immortal . so begins susan orlean\u2019s sweeping , powerfully moving account of rin tin tin\u2019s journey from abandoned puppy to movie star and international icon . spanning almost one hundred years of history , from the dog\u2019s improbable discovery on a battlefield in 1918 to his tumultuous rise through hollywood and beyond , rin tin tin is a love story about\nthe mutual devotion between one man and one dog\n( the wall street journal ) that is also a quintessentially american story of reinvention , a captivating exploration of our spiritual bond with animals , and a stirring meditation on mortality and immortality .\nthe carltons and riggins became officers of the company , a financial dispute arose , a legal war over rin tin incorporate commenced , and now , hereford is suing her breeders for taking possession of rin tin tin descendant dogs including\ndenali ,\ncaramello ,\nsnoopy ,\ngodiva\nand\nbabe ruth ,\nusing them in commercial promotion and advertising , and allegedly breaching contracts , fiduciary duty and trademarks as well as committing unfair competition and conversion .\nthe possible remedies are varied , tripp said .\nat the very least , there has to be a notice that these are not rin tin tin dogs but actors . her dogs are beautiful and well - trained , and she wants it clear in the marketplace ,\nthe lawyer said .\nhis incredible story is told in a new biography published just as another canine star appears on our cinema screens : uggie , the jack russell , whose antics in the silent movie the artist have captivated audiences . rin tin tin\u2019s story began on a battlefield in france on september 15 , 1918 .\nno , they ' re not saving lives or solving mysteries like rin - tin - tin . but for children lacking confidence in their reading abilities , the st . john ambulance therapy dogs are the kind of good listeners and non - judgmental audience they need to become self - sufficient wordsmiths .\na woman from crockett who says she owns the rights to the name rin tin tin is suing a movie studio that recently released a film about the famous german shepherd . she is asking the court not only for money in damages , but also that every single copy of the movie be destroyed .\nbased on the true story . corporal lee duncan , stationed in france during world war 1 , rescues a mother and her three german sheppard puppies . lee gives the mother and two puppies away , but keeps his favorite puppy , which he lovingly names rin tin tin . when the general warns that keeping a young , rambunctious dog is not permitted , duncan discovers a solution is at hand ; german nikolaus egger , rin tin tin ' s mother ' s original owner , is being held as a pow on their base . with his help , the dog soon learns amazing skills , such as bringing first aid to soldiers on the battlefield . after the war , rin tin tin returns home with duncan and goes on to star in 14 feature films from 1920 - 1931 and was considered to be one of hollywood ' s top movie stars . mpaa rating : pg for brief action / peril and mild rude humor cast : tyler jensen , ben cross and gregory gudgeon\nthe show succeeded almost immediately . orlean recounts how it became the second highest - rated program on abc , trailing only the walt disney show , and broke records for how fast it climbed the ratings charts . nine million of 30 million televisions tuned in to watch\nthe adventures of rin tin tin ,\norlean notes .\ninspired by the true origin of rin tin tin , early cinema ' s most famous dog , lee duncan ( tyler jensen ) finds\nrinty\nin the wreckage of a village in france during world war i . lee pleads with his superiors and the dog is allowed to join the american and french soldiers who live together . lee enlists the dog training expertise of a german prisoner - of - war and rin tin tin becomes a heroic , funny , and super - intelligent mascot , who plays a major part in the daily drama of the base . a special bond is formed between the dog and an orphaned french boy who is badly mistreated by the compound ' s cook .\nrin tin tin was born on a battlefield in france towards the end of ww1 . he died in 1932 , supposedly in the arms of jean harlow , the original ' blonde bombshell ' , epic in death as he was in life . in his prime , he was one of hollywood ' s the biggest stars . he received two thousand fan letters a month , had jewels , furs and a private driver , had his paw - print set for posterity on hollywood boulevard and was credited with saving warner brothers from bankruptcy - twice . his owner , lee duncan , was so completely devoted to him that when his wife sued for divorce she cited rin tin tin as co - respondent .\nstunning . . . calling rin tin tin the story of a dog is like calling moby - dick the story of a whale * boston globe * a marvellous achievement , not so much the biography of a dog as a fully realised exploration of 20th century america . . . fun , engaging , informative , passionate and authoritative , and mercifully unsentimental , rin tin tin is the very best kind of narrative non - fiction . one hundred percent pure reading bliss . - - melanie mcgrath * evening standard * fascinating . . . it is not only a story of fame , money and dogs , but also an engagingly written meditation on the things that survive us through singular obsession * sunday times *\nat one point rinty was said to be getting 50 , 000 fan letters a month . he and his mate were written about as a hollywood couple :\nmr . and mrs . rin tin staying in the bridal suite .\nthe amateurish special effects , wooden acting , and the simplistic - in - your - face messages , certainly don ' t help . the best that can be said is that the dog is lovable , the relationship between rinty and his master is heart - warming , and it ' s interesting to find out how the real rin tin tin came to america .\nfrom those humble beginnings , the dark - haired german shepherd rose to become an internationally recognized hollywood star . now , following several decades of subsiding public interest in the dog , new yorker staff writer susan orlean has written a new book ,\nrin tin tin : the life and the legend ,\nin which she chronicles the history and allure of the canine celebrity .\nthere are a number of clearly stated messages . rin tin tin enables an american soldier during world war i to bond with a german prisoner of war , emphasizing the commonality of man through concern for animals . training animals should be done with love and affection , not punishment . and finally , played throughout :\nwhen you have a good heart , you ' ll have good luck .\nwith the exception of one mean - spirited captain and a treacherous cook , the soldiers are portrayed as reliable , honest , caring , and brave . they all show concern for rin tin tin , illustrating man ' s responsibility to vulnerable animals in their care . reflecting the setting ( military compound in france ) and the time ( 1917 - 18 ) , there are no females and no characters of color .\nno swearing , but the army cook showers a young boy with insults throughout :\ncockroach ,\nlazy boy ,\nworm ,\ngood - for - nothing .\nlots of potty humor : farting on several occasions ; rin tin tin acts human as he poops in a toilet . the dog purposefully pees into the cook ' s drink and we watch the cook drink it and react .\nrin tin tin ' s story is a great yarn with a big heart and , in susan orlean ' s hands , it is also very funny . but at its core lies a profound and moving meditation on the idea of heroism : of what it means to dream of a figure who is brave and bold and strong , and why those ideals hold such power over our imagination . this book is set to become an eccentric classic .\nhereford , who is managing editor of the houston county courier , no longer does physical work with the dogs because of a pulmonary condition . but she has a rin tin tin disciple in jan hall , who works with the dogs . hall said the pups , including the newest litter born just last week , sell for $ 2 , 500 to $ 3 , 500 . some of the dogs have been placed as service dogs for the disabled .\ni thoroughly enjoyed this book . you could maybe pick holes in the structure and the style , but it would be churlish to do so . the warmth and enthusiasm for the subject is infectious . an amalgam of interesting historical background and an empathetic portrayal of the ' characters ' in the story of rin tin tin . if you love dogs and movies this is unmissable , if you just want a satisfying read you can ' t go wrong .\nother : dog flatulence and belching ; human flatulence and belching ; a thief steals something but is caught ; the cook promises to feed dog but lies ; a dog urinates in man & apos ; s drink and he drinks it ; gambling at cards but a man gives back the money he wins after having help in the game by rin tin tin ; the cook is selling some of the food rations ; a woman is nipped in the rear by dog .\nhe landed rin tin tin ' s first role in an unusual way : by walking around outside the studios , knocking on doors and seeing if anyone was interested in using a trained dog in a film . orlean notes in the book that this was not as implausible as it might sound , that the movie business in the early 1920s was still\nnearly homemade\nand\nbit players were often plucked from the crowds that gathered at the studio gates ."]}

from his film work . while i may not like the man , there\u2019s no denying his talent as a filmmaker . one of my favorite films of the 2000\u2019s was his exceptional jeepers creepers . his latest offering is dark house , but unfortunately it can\u2019t hold a candle to his 2001 hit . the film\u2019s writers seemed to be grasping at straws on what type of film they want it to be . is it a haunted house thriller , a demonic possession flick , angels vs . demons , or what ?\ndark house is a thrilling and horrifying road trip , full of twists and brutal surprises ; a suspenseful thriller about a young man and a chilling old house that has survived decades , awaiting the return of its prodigal son . . . a house that can escalate nick ' s gift to see death before it happens , but holds within its walls the origins of a dark family legacy so horrible it may have already reached out to nick ' s unborn child .\nthe house at the center of the horror film \u201c dark house \u201d is not just poorly illuminated \u2014 aren\u2019t they always ? \u2014 but also ill conceived . according to the wildly improbable screenplay , the ramshackle southern plantation home around which this tale

, victor salva is an accomplished filmmaker . dark house is shot amazingly well and looks gorgeous . the film has potential with some creepy moments here and there but whatever tension builds up is

salva fan . i enjoyed the first jeepers creepers but couldn\u2019t make my way through the sequel . his film rosewood lane was horrible but i was shocked to find his latest outing dark house to be a

film than the old dark house ? yes , there probably is . ranking films in such fashion is , of course , a mug\u2019s game . also , you might reasonably argue that james whale\u2019s extraordinary 1932 entertainment isn\u2019t really a horror movie at all . there is nothing of the supernatural about it . the picture leans towards camp mania as much as it does towards the ghost story . there\u2019s really nothing much like it in the canon .\nthe film works best during the first and third acts . the characters are introduced in an interesting fashion and we don\u2019t have to wait too long to get into the weirdness . the final act gives us a satisfying conclusion and the final twist was really imaginative . the cast is believable and it\u2019s always a pleasure to see guys like ward or bell pop up . the film is light on gore but a few moments do arise and may surprise you . the axe wielding maniacs hop along , crouched low to the ground , and hurl their axes . pretty creepy design and my

three relatively short scenes .\nthe film goes on , dredging up even more cliches about biblical , shape - shifting demons , paranormal progeny and the numerological significance of the number 23 .

intriguingly bizarre threads that it is almost impossible not to smile while marveling at the inventiveness of its amalgamated ideas and wondering how in the world all of these things will tie together . with so much for the imagination to chew on , it feels like \u201cdark house\u201d is leading towards something cleverer than what it ultimately delivers . so when the hump between lead - in and climax drags the momentum through a tar pit , it affords more time to recognize that most of the toys in the sandbox end up buried at the bottom , unused and unnecessary .\n\u201cdark house\u201d cruises effectively for a considerable amount of time on the strength of a strange mystery that steadily increases its intoxicating weirdness by piling on elements of haunted house suspense , angel versus demon mythology , and ax - wielding maniac mayhem . then once all of the cards have been dealt , the hand plays out as a round of flat action that tastes disappointingly stale in light of how many potent ingredients were in the mix .\ntwo other diner patrons join in the conversation . one introduces the house rumor : the house was called\nwormwood\n. it was despised by residents of the town , who were seriously spooked by it . then , more 20 years ago , a massive flood washed away the town with the house , but the house landed somewhere - - intact . the other , black haired white male diner snorts and doubts the rumor ' s authenticity while furtively keeping his eyes on his companion .\nwe find nicky on a road trip with ryo and eve on a quest to find the house from his childhood art .\nmeanwhile , surveyors and other people alike stare dumbfounded straight , realizing the creepy house is in front of them , again .\nthey all walk towards the house as

claire , who witnessed a massacre as a child goes back to the house in which it happens as part of a troupe of actors auditioning for roles within a haunted house attraction . as both new arrivals and old cast soon begin disappearing one - by - one , claire is left wondering if the house really hunted or is there a killer amongst them .\ndark house formerly known as haunted is a mishmash of horror tropes , some of which work and some don\u2019t . there\u2019s a lot going on in the film and much to sort out . the mystery surrounding nick\u2019s father is unclear . he\u2019s an evil force that seems to live in the basement of the house yet controls his evil doers by talking to them from inside walls via heating vents in other places . then we have seth\u2019s axmen with a different agenda , maybe good \u2013 maybe evil . why are they like a hunchback chorus line slinging axes all over the place ? is this a demon vs . angel standoff ? ultimately , there are more questions than answers in the finale leaving viewers scratching their heads .\nseth ( tobin bell with long , stringy dirty hair , and a rick owens outfit ) comes out of the creepy house .\nnow all axemen pop up in formation in front of the house , barricading the entrance with their bodies . they hunch down .\neve ( on the phone ) :\n. . . never going to find the house . i destroyed the deed .\na paranormal expert discovers a house that is at the intersection of so - called\nhighways\ntransporting souls in the afterlife .\nit is a mild letdown since \u201cdark house\u201d initially appears to be creating a fresh and fun original story out of tired tropes and well - worn plot devices . after it becomes clear that the mystery merely builds to an average good battling evil theme , the movie rushes to make pieces fit and whatever doesn\u2019t is left by the wayside .\nby next sunny golden morning , eve and ryo rush back to the house , and are stunned by the carnage in the yard .\nryo goes with lilith to go back to nicky ' s abandoned car to salvage some warm clothes . it is dark , and . . . romantic ( ? ) ? ? they glance at each other , and then start kissing passionately , stripping off clothes , and having sex . they don ' t notice the axemen suddenly appear around the house .\nthe movie falls just a pinch short from being great since there are several moments which drag on for far too long . salva grabs a few ideas from past genre films and mashes them together in a film which is almost always entertaining and might just give you a few goosebumps .\nthe friends are huddled near the cellar door ( coincidentally at the end of the hallway , with front door of house at other end ) .\ni really wanted to like dark house more than i did . it had an interesting look and feel to it with potential for success , but the writing doesn\u2019t make it over the hump of mediocrity . with an ending that left more questions than answers , it ultimately falls flat and doesn\u2019t work . genre die - hards may find this worth a watch but mainstreamers probably won\u2019t .\n\u201cdark house\u201d stands flapping in the wind with asides regarding numerology , foretold prophecies , and nick\u2019s \u201cdead zone\u201d ability that kicked off the whole story ending up in effect as inessential distractions . and when the script is backed into a corner with something it doesn\u2019t know how to handle , it lobs a hail mary pass that more often than not sticks out like a throbbing red thumb .\n) , lilith ( with dark short hair , pale skin , lacey anzelc ) , and lastly , sam ( red haired pudgy guy , reminiscent of jonah hill , played by ethan s . smith ) , who they almost hit .\nlucky later appears alongside a stalled car on the road , causing chris to swerve and to crash into a tree at the bottom of the embankment . everyone then discovers that they have mysteriously returned to the old house . with sundown approaching , the group decides to spend the night in the house .\nshort synopsis : a real estate agent finds himself trapped in a haunted house with a mysterious squatter and must learn to conquer his fear to escape .\nthis film proved to me that he still has a passion for the genre and he deserves to tell that final story . he has found the perfect writing partner in charles agron . this is his first foray and it seems like the two of them really worked well with one another . you couldn\u2019t ask for a better picture from the blu - ray though it lacks special features . it does include a short behind the scenes feature which is something . dark house may not be perfect but it\u2019s far better than most dtv features as of late . this is a return to form for victor salva and i hope to see this streak continue . * * * 1 \\ 2 ( out of 5 )\nwhen nick di santo

. what is the secret of the dark house and the creepy creatures ? written by claudio carvalho , rio de janeiro , brazil\nthe film does , however , draw a distinction \u2014 one of degree \u2014 between the comic horror we can see downstairs and something more wretched lurking upstairs . in a masterstroke of unheimlich , whale casts a woman , elspeth dudgeon , as the 102 - year old sir roderick femm , who knows something awful about another , unseen member of the family .\nnicky unwillingly leaves house with questions in his mind and finally notices the axemen . terror ! nick + gang all start running , axemen start lurching with clubfoot . . . .\nafter exploring and reminiscing and matching memories or flashback imaginations to inside of house , nicky touches a huge drapery against wall and drapery suddenly shakes briefly as if something is behind it .\nhe along with his friend ryan ( anthony rey perez ) and the now pregnant eve head out on a road trip to see the house and maybe nick can learn something about his father . once they arrive in the small town , they learn the house was washed away in a flood years ago . but there is a legend which says the house was

the\ngod\nflood , and the tree growing through wall has been used for lynching . . . horrible stuff .\nseth very adamant in telling them to go away . then nicky chimes with the fact that he has the deed to the house , and wants to know what happened to its previous occupants .\nmere minutes into \u201cdark house , \u201d it becomes depressingly clear that the deficit of imagination displayed by the title will not be made up for by the content . ( one wonders why the makers even bothered to replace the original name , \u201chaunted . \u201d ) grabbing off - the - rack ideas \u2014 the creepy - crumbly mansion in the woods , the \u201cdeliverance\u201d - style locals , the troubled young man with the weird psychic power \u2014 the director , victor salva , stuffs them into a plot of resounding silliness .\nsaucy lady tells other diners to stop spreading stories but nicky insists on knowing more so the black haired diner points to map on wall signaling that should be the approximate area house washed away to .\nnick takes ryan and eve with him as he goes in search of the mansion to learn the truth about his father and his ability . nick discovers that the house was located in a town called river\u2019s end , but the town washed away in a flood . a local named lucky tells nick that legend says the house known as \u201cwormwood\u201d could not be destroyed and only washed away to another location .\nfeaturing heavy doses of gore supplanted by ear - piercing , sudden loud noises to ratchet up the tension , the visually cluttered dark house - - its unimaginative title representing a slight improvement over its even more unimaginative original title , haunted - - fails to weave its numerous plot strands into a coherent whole . and while bell infuses his stringy - haired character with his characteristic creepy flair , it\u2019s not hard to imagine that the actor , who also co - produced , is merely biding his time until the saw franchise is inevitably resurrected .\nhaunted is a movie starring luke kleintank , alex mckenna , and anthony rey . when nick di santo learns that his father is not only alive but can possibly reveal the origin of his son ' s dark gift , he sets out on a trip that takes him to an abandoned mansion he thought only existed in his childhood imagination .\nthrow in some ominous biblical prophecies , a discourse on the cosmic significance of the number 23 ( a theme previously explored in the 2007 jim carrey film the number 23 ) , and some nasty twists involving several supporting characters who turn out to be not quite who they seem , and it soon becomes obvious that the screenplay co - written by salva and charles agron has bitten off far more than it can comfortably chew .\nthey stop at roadside diner , and meet a middle aged , saucy diner attender lady ( she ' s in tv series bones as marjorie , and turns out nicky also played a recurring role as an intern anthropologist in bones ! ) . nicky recognizes a large dusty gray / scale photo of the house in question in the center of a densely decorated wall . he asks the attender lady how to find the house .\nthe tree ' s branches cut into house so they can grow . this , mind you , is the tree from which people were lynched . nicky reaches out to touch the tree , and bam ! another hand from within grabs his .\nthe surveyors invite themselves into nicky ' s quest for his house , and they drive up to the approximate area , a raised road , of which both sides severely slope downwards and are densely filled with fall trees . it is a beautiful golden afternoon .\nchris , the surveyor :\nshut up guys !\nwhile eve has a mini tantrum , and refuses , with good reason ,\nthere ' s no way i ' m staying here\n. nick agrees with chris to stay in the house .\nprovided that person is destined to die in horribly violent fashion , nick has the ability to touch someone and see how s / he will meet the reaper . the origin behind his blessing / curse involves a father he never knew , an insane mother who speaks to a voice in the walls , and a dark mansion in the woods that literally fell off the map when a flood wiped out a small town .\nit turns out the house is still standing in the middle of nowhere , having been washed intact several miles into the isolated woods . the trio soon discovers the house is occupied by a grizzled , long - haired lunatic named seth ( tobin bell - saw franchise ) with unknown intentions . alarmingly , seth commands an army of axmen who shuffle crouched down side to side in unison like nightmarish gorillas . in trying to find answers about his father , nick and friends find themselves in a supernatural nightmare they might not make it out of\u2026alive .\nnaturally , the house is guarded by a menacing caretaker , seth ( bell ) , who attempts to warn them away . it isn\u2019t long before violent mayhem ensues , with the young interlopers pursued by seth\u2019s gang of ax - wielding troglodytes whose awkward gait makes them resemble escaped gorillas .\nback on the road , nick , ryan , and eve come across a trio of land surveyors named chris mcculloch , lilith , and sam . the surveyors help nick search for wormwood . while lilith waits behind with eve , the four men go into the woods to find the house .\nnick , ryan , and chris return to the women and everyone escapes in the surveyors\u2019 van . they drive back into town , but find it strangely deserted . as if in a parallel reality , lucky can see nick and the others searching for help outside the diner . lucky then tells a voice in the walls that he will lead nick back to the house .\nat one point , nick and company are run off the road by one of the \u201c deliverance \u201d - style locals , played by screenwriter agron . when nick proposes that they spend the night in a house so inhospitable it makes \u201cthe amityville horror\u201d look like \u201cdownton abbey , \u201d eve inadvertently asks a telling question : \u201chow am i the only one that thinks this is a bad idea ? \u201d\nchris , the surveyor man and nicky find the cellar , with its heavy , old door . they must pull it in jerks to open it . with the first pull - - all of a sudden , axemen are strung down from the trees in the forest / frontyard . pull - - the axemen ' s feet suddenly touch ground . pull - - axes thud the ground . ryo is still outside at the porch , oblivious , bat in hand . every time the cellar door is pulled a little more open , the axemen army makes an unnerving step forward to the house . with one more great pull , the cellar door is finally thrown half open , and the axemen start their run . ryo finally notices , and narrowly gets away into the house , yelling\naxemen everywhere !\nlaughton is one of several dissolute young people \u2014 all affected by the first world war , we feel \u2014 who , on an appallingly rainy night , end up sheltering at the house of the horrible femme family . the first person they meet is karloff as a towering , grunting butler named morgan . \u201ceven welsh oughtn\u2019t to sound like that , \u201d one of the party says upon hearing his efforts at speech .\nin one instance , once everyone is lost in the forest , trapped in an old house , and surrounded by murderous men brandishing tree - chopping blades , naturally no one\u2019s cell phone works . except when one of the characters needs a bit of background exposition about the unfolding drama . then he is suddenly able to google a few convenient references for plot - advancing purposes , even though making a phone call is still a no - go .\neight months later \u2013 nick meets with judge maxwell bing , who appears to be communicating with someone through a grate in the wall before nick arrives . bing goes over the details of molly\u2019s will and nick learns that he inherited an old mansion . nick shows a photo of the mansion to ryan and to eve , who is now pregnant with nick\u2019s unborn child . nick tells them that it is the same house he had drawn all throughout childhood , but never knew actually existed .\nthe men meet seth , the house\u2019s mysterious resident . seth tries to warn the men away from the property while referring to sam as samael , but ultimately allows nick inside . as seth gives nick more cryptic warnings , a group of long - haired axmen in trenchcoats surround the men waiting outside . ryan calls for nick and the four men then flee through the forest with the axmen in pursuit . a thrown ax hits sam and seth then puts his own ax blade into sam\u2019s skull .\nnicky opens files and recognizes a photo of a house complete with little round window above the door , that he has been drawing for his whole life , starting from when he was a child , and through his waning dreams as an architect . he decides to find it to answer his questions . from the folder given to him by bing , he has the deed to it and he wants to visit it to find out what happened to people in it , and perhaps find a link to his unknown father .\ninformed by the family lawyer ( max gail of barney miller fame ) that he\u2019s inherited an old house in the country that he\u2019s somehow managed to be able to draw since childhood without ever actually seeing it , nick sets off with his best friend , ryan ( anthony ray perez ) , and his very pregnant girlfriend , eve ( alex mckenna ) , to investigate its whereabouts . not dissuaded by some hayseed types who inform them that it was washed away in a torrential flood years earlier , the trio soon discover it , although not without nearly running down some friendly land surveyors along the way .\nlilith reveals herself as a demon to eve , but seth arrives to kill lilith before she can harm eve or the baby . nick confronts chris and learns that chris is part of the same league of demons to which nick\u2019s father belonged , as are lucky and the townspeople . as his father\u2019s half - human and half - demon offspring , nick\u2019s destiny is to release his father\u2019s trapped soul from the house using the blood of 23 beating hearts . seth and the axmen are actually the opposing force of angels in a battle of good versus evil . the townspeople arrive and engage in a bloody fight with the axmen\nlater nicky visits the attorney mayor bing who hands him the contents of his mother\u2019s will in the form of a stack of papers wrapped in a folder . oddly , there is no other present for the reading . behind his desk , the attorney , bing tells him there ' s no one else in the room as his mother indicated in the will that only nicky alone was to see the will\u2019s contents . nicky looks at stack of papers wrapped in folder . just then , bing appears behind him and shows him the way out . as he exits out , mayor waits until nicky is out of earshot and then turns to vent and tells him nicky will find the house .\nthe central character is nick ( luke kleintank ) , who on his 23rd birthday visits his mother ( lesley - anne down ) , who\u2019s been in a mental institution since he was a child . nick\u2019s ability to foresee how a person will die is signified by his vision of her dying in a fire , a prophecy that almost immediately becomes reality when the loony bin goes up in flames .\ncast : luke kleintank , anthony rey perez , alex mckenna , lesley - anne down , tobin bell , zack ward , lacey anzelc , ethan s . smith , max gail\nabout which the less said the better , so i will merely remark that the aforementioned young man ( luke kleintank ) , his heavily pregnant girlfriend ( alex mckenna ) and a few interchangeable sidekicks head into those woods and a showdown both biblical and bonkers . voices leak from heating ducts , bodies hang from a tree , and a three - legged dog makes a pointless appearance . none of which is as unintentionally amusing as the army of ax - wielding henchmen who advance in unison in a sideways crouch , like a chorus line of cave men from a mel brooks musical .\nfor mr . salva , this is a long way down from \u201cjeepers creepers , \u201d his respectable little 2001 frightener elevated by genuinely spooky moments and some semblance of logic . here , instead of terror , we have vapid leads and supporting players who pause to have sex while surrounded by homicidal demons . sadly , the only thing audiences are likely to find horrific is the acting . or the possibility that any of these people might make another movie .\nopens on friday in manhattan and los angeles . directed by victor salva 1 hour 43 minutes\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nnew york times ( 1 ( ejournal / emagazine ) [ worldcat . org ]\nyour web browser is not enabled for javascript . some features of worldcat will not be available .\nyour list has reached the maximum number of items . please create a new list with a new name ; move some items to a new or existing list ; or delete some items .\nnote : citations are based on reference standards . however , formatting rules can vary widely between applications and fields of interest or study . the specific requirements or preferences of your reviewing publisher , classroom teacher , institution or organization should be applied .\nthe e -

writer charles agron were on their way towards tapping into classic horror inspirations for a seemingly unique spin on familiar territory . and they still manage to create a fair share of tense atmosphere and entertaining set pieces . but the final direction loses its focus before buckling under the weight of characters , concepts , and side plots that do more to weigh down the core story than they do to enhance it ."]}

we come to the smoking gun i referred to in my review at\naround\nthe 20 : 39 point in the dvd . i was thinking specifically of the boy with blood in his mouth , and the shots on either side are also crucial . as the critic michael mirasol writes in his discussion of the film , a preceding shot\nrefers to the spot where georges ' house is being recorded ( the film ' s opening shot ) . it has to be a pov , but from whose ?\ntcm celebrates the 100th anniversary of a musical legend with three nights of programming devoted to some of leonard bernstein ' s . . . more\nwas better , but you rarely get an academy award for a film that isn ' t successful no matter how good your work on it .\n) shows up armed with all kinds of gadgets to help . using a camera and light meter , he ' s able to pick up on strange vibrations in the living room where most of the supernatural events have been taking place . a photograph of mark lemming confirms their worst fears : the dead man is the same man they ' ve been spotting around the house . burdon calls in psychic mrs . bucknall (\nin one way , it made her name . gillian flynn , in the book and the film that have made her name , perhaps pays silent tribute to the ingenuity of her literary heroine . . .\nmatt zoller seitz is the editor - in - chief of rogerebert . com , tv critic for new york magazine , the creator of many video essays about film history and style , a finalist for the pulitzer prize in criticism , and the author of the wes anderson collection . his writing on film and tv has appeared in the new york times , salon , new york press , the star - ledger and dallas observer .

rated film was a typical hollywood retreaded heist - thriller flick , specifically a tense hostage drama . it reflected elements found in serpico ( 1973 ) , dog day afternoon ( 1975 ) , the comedy heist film quick change ( 1990 ) , and die hard : with a vengeance ( 1995 ) .\nillustrator of comical pictures , watcher of too much television , erstwhile ne ' er -

- none of the above , but someone none of the characters is aware of . in the real world , that would be possible . the film itself would necessarily be unaware of this observer , and could see only the consequences . the chances of that are vanishingly slight , but with michael (\nyou can never know\n) haneke , it can ' t be completely ruled out . consider his current success with\nthe white ribbon .\nthe children did it ,\ni hear . how can anyone be sure of that ?\nattending hospital physician dr . newman [ revealed as mr . cable -

psychological horror film was adapted from henry james ' novella , the turn of the screw . the setting was in the 19th century in victorian england , at a gothic , bleak english country estate .\n. . . where i post examples of my artwork . you can find it by clicking on the picture of the\nthe film opened with a scene revisited much later in the film - cobb was lying on a beach where he was found delirious . he envisioned his children playing near him . he was taken by an armed guard to a beachside fortress where he was faced by wealthy , aged corporate executive saito ( ken watanabe ) . the japanese businessman had been cobb ' s latest employer .\nelise ' s immediate discovery was that otherworldly presences , including the blood red - faced , black - bodied demon , and other spirits or ghosts were definitely in the house to pursue dalton ' s spirit . she stated :\nit ' s not the house that ' s haunted . it ' s your son .\ndalton was astral - projecting himself ( his spirit had left his physical body ) when he traveled into a far - off dark world known as the further . but on one of his out - of - body journeys to the far - off spiritual world , he had traveled too far and become lost . elise said they must get the son back before the disembodied and tortured spirits of the dead and other malevolent entities with an\ninsidious agenda\ntook over ( or possessed ) his physical body ( an\nempty vessel\n) .\nin the not very surprising twist ending ( the very ubiquitous death -

of - bounds for an affair . however , as the film was being made , nikki did begin an affair with devon , in the role of her character - simultaneously , her loss of identity and its fragmentation started when she paranoically feared she would be discovered .\nthen , she realized he was dead (\nmiles ? miles ! miles ! oh ! oh , no .\n) . sobbing , she leaned over and kissed him , as the film ended .\nin gone girl , the book and the film end uncertainly , nick seemingly stuck with a pregnant amy , who is determined to stick by his side ; he may or may not stay with her for the sake of the child . of course , by then , the audience knows that amy is a psychopath and a murderess .\ncalled the film\none of the most elegantly beautiful ghost movies ever made . . . the filmmakers concentrate on the virtuoso possibilities in the material , and the beauty of the images raises our terror to a higher plane than the simple fears of most ghost stories . there are great sequences ( like one in a schoolroom ) that work on the viewer ' s imagination and remain teasingly ambiguous .\nthe film ' s plot , told in flashback , was about insurance fraud investigator john trent ( sam neill ) - now a violent and delusional asylum inmate in a padded cell (\ni am not insane\n) , who had been institutionalized after axe - murdering a reader of a popular horror novel , in the mouth of madness .\ndirector vernon sewell had a four decade career . his other films include supernatural comedy the ghosts of berkeley square and a trio of horror films that came at the end of his career \u2013 the blood beast terror , curse of the crimson altar and burke & hare .\nwhen the film ended with a slaughter at the asylum by monstrous creatures , trent wandered out into the world that was alarmingly empty after a bloody slaughter and civilization had seemingly been destroyed by cane ' s creatures .\nin this high - concept film with a well - constructed plot twist , each of the strangers that was being murdered , one - by - one ( each victim had a room key placed on or near their body , with each room number connected to the order of the deaths ) , was not a real person . they were specific personalities of the ' host ' malcolm rivers ( pruitt taylor vince ) .\nso why am i talking about the movie here ? is it just because i\u2019m a confirmed nanette newman fanboy ? ahem . heaven forfend . nothing of the sort . surely . the raison d\u2019\u00eatre of this entry is that the movie\u2019s a variant of latin quarter , which most certainly is of interest within the broadish parameters of this site .\nin the persona of nikki ( now dead as sue and reborn ) , she escaped from the trap of the film ( after the shooting was completed ) . she entered into a nearby cinema , where she viewed on high in blue tomorrows , and some of the events of the film . she entered the theater ' s projection room - and found herself in the\naxxon n\napartment building . she shot and killed the phantom with a gun in a hotel hallway ( as he died , his face displayed a hideous view of nikki ' s own clown - face ) . she eventually wandered into hotel room 47 ( which held the anthropomorphic rabbits in the tv sitcom ) , where she kissed the lost girl and freed her . nikki and the rabbits faded away .\na low - budget thriller with all the mystery and tension of a shelved thunderbirds episode . two petty crooks discover their consciences after their accomplice dies in a hit - and - run accident , and they decide to break back into the bank they have just robbed to prevent the manager and his secretary from suffocating in the safe . if the anxious expressions and banal utterances of the villains aren ' t bad enough , there are the glutinous exchanges between the stuffy boss and his assistant as they find love in adversity . director vernon sewell sets up this improbable story quite neatly , but it ' s hardly breathless entertainment .\nthe film concluded by being folded back upon itself - trent entered an abandoned movie theatre that was showing the latest movie adaptation of sutter cane ' s book - and slowly changed into a crazed , mutant creature that laughed maniacally as he sat down and watched himself on the silver screen .\nin the film ' s frenzied conclusion , first in the hot and humid greenhouse , she kept urging and suspecting that the ghost of quint was causing miles to frighten his schoolmates with vulgar language and behavior , and was teaching him to do and say things . behind miles , she saw an apparition of quint reflected in a window . but miles denied her assertions , screamed at her , and accused her of being mad :\nfor nearly 90 years , the story has been reinvented on the page and screen . michael apted directed vanessa redgrave in agatha in 1979 ( in which , electroconvulsive therapy given to her affects her brain ) . jared cade , in 1999 , wrote his convincing account , claiming that she disappeared on purpose . andrew norman , in 2006 , preferred the \u201cfugue state\u201d theory . laura thompson , a year later , agreed with christie\u2019s daughter that it was all brought on by shock , and wrote that personally , she preferred that the mystery of the episode stay ravelled .\n. all recommended it , but it was a very difficult film for me to track down for a number of years . understandable , what with no name stars , crew , or even easily - recognizable character actors to aid in marketing it , in addition to its very brief running time .\nthe film is based on the play l\u2019angoisse by celia de vilyars and pierre mills , and it\u2019s safe to say that sewell was rather fond of the story \u2013 he\u2019d already filmed it three times , as the medium ( 1934 ) , latin quarter ( 1945 ) and ghost ship ( 1952 ) .\nlet ' s pull back to consider the whole film . much of it involves the relationship between georges ( daniel auteuil ) and his wife anne ( juliette binoche ) . the tapes breed discord in their marriage . anne suspects georges , rightly , of concealing things from her . he cannot trust her with her his childhood memories . he doesn ' t want them himself . the film recalls an incident during the algerian war when the bodies of hundreds of algerian immigrants were found floating in the seine . among them may have been majid ' s parents , who went to paris to join a demonstration and were never seen again . this tragedy has been all but erased from the french public ' s memory . it doesn ' t want them .\nco -

boy chad ( aaron eckhart ) out to seek premeditated , retributive revenge on women , after he claimed he had broken up with steady girlfriend suzanne ( emily cline ) - and she had packed up , leaving him only a futon and his american gigolo poster . chad expressed his vile hatred of the fair sex :\nbefore sue expired , she vomited blood on one of the hollywood walk of fame stars ( labeled dorothy ) -

sounding scientific explanations , rather than the mystical hokum they were expecting . eventually , he brings in a genuine psychic ( molly urquhart ) , in an attempt to solve the mystery of the apparition . this leads to a further flashback , showing the ghost to be a rather brilliant electrical engineer ( peter dyneley ) , embroiled in research in his backyard workshop , whose adulterous wife schemes with her lover to murder him in a staged ' accident ' . . . but things don ' t quite go according to plan . . .\naccording to jared cade , this was an alibi for her amnesia , \u201ctwo years previously she had written a book in which a woman fakes amnesia\u201d , he says . she sent that letter to her brother -

south divide , which many people use it to utmost irritable debates , claiming supremacy over each others race , forgetting the very fact that both are fighting and pulling out each other of the same sect . anyways let us get back to the review . but just before that i\u2019d like to add a few points . if you look at my reviews in general , i try not to divulge its climax or talk unnecessary issues . i try to keep my reviews short , sweet and a bit hanging here and there , so it may peruse the reader to watch it than merely reading and visualising the whole movie in the screen inside his mind . i follow the principle of * kiss * [ keep it short and simple ]\nif there ' s one woman who sets stars dancing to her tunes , it is choreographer kala master . she holds a sway in kollywood with her award winning works .\nshe is a pint -

( and yes , it helps us pay our bills too ! ) click here for the free trial\nand of the people in it . he is quite rational about it . \u201ci admire a lot of them , but i have never been in awe , \u201d he begins solemnly , \u201cit affects your performance , and i think that applies to most of us . i am a very secure actor who is extremely happy in my space . i am game to work with anybody . \u201d\nhe leans forward , and sips the sugarless tea . it arrived at the \u201cright stage of his career\u201d , he says . he was looking forward to doing something different in life . he had ideas . but not the resources or market . \u201cwhen kamal said you should direct it , it gave me clarity . otherwise , you know , you are caught up in the muddle of daily things . \u201d\nhe didn\u2019t sign a single kannada film after that . and for an actor who loves to multi - task , it was a tough call . also , it happened to be the first film he was directing where he was not the lead actor . \u201cit was a big responsibility , \u201d he explains , \u201ci wanted to give it my all . it was a challenging script , and that was my best takeaway . \u201d\nkamal is more a mentor , he admits . so there was no typical hero - director relationship with him . but he did realise something , though : that being a co - star is pretty smooth , but when you meet as a director and an actor , \u201cit is possible the friction can escalate into something very unpleasant . \u201d there were creative differences with kamal , yes . \u201ci would be lying if i say it was a smooth ride . but then , there were two creative minds at work . \u201d\na lot of people had warned him against taking up uttama villain . their reason was quite simple : it might affect the personal equation he shared with kamal . \u201cbut then , \u201d ramesh interjects , \u201cboth of us are mature . i didn\u2019t want to miss that collaboration thinking about a possible change of equations . \u201d\nhe was the emcee at the 50th day celebrations of sagara sangamam when he first met kamal . ramesh was in engineering college then . \u201ci was always his admirer , \u201d he recalls , \u201crajini and kamal were the biggest stars of our time . you can\u2019t escape that influence . \u201d\nramesh was originally supposed to be the \u201cflashback hero\u201d for revathi , but his role was edited out .\n\u2013 a well - written screenplay , packed with detail , and dotted to precision .\nso much so that when he requested kamal to replace two lines in the script , he took a day to come up with a perfect set of lines .\nalso , ramesh would consciously stay away from the script for 10 or 20 days to get an objective view of it . \u201cwhen you are constantly on it , things start working against you , \u201d he shrugs , \u201ccrazy mohan would often drop by for discussions , otherwise , the script and dialogues are kamal\u2019s all the way . \u201d\naccording to ramesh , the movie has two aspects : there\u2019s a sensitive side , and \u201ca new type of comedy\u201d . essentially though , it is something that he has always been doing . but , on a bigger scale . the story is set in two centuries : 8th and 21st . while the early century deals with a lot of folk art from that era , there\u2019s also an amalgamation of theyyam , koothu and other folk forms .\nthankfully , ramesh suddenly exclaims , they had similar sensibilities . kamal and him . especially in humour . \u201ci used to tell him , avalo jerk vendam sir , ithu namma comedy kedayathu . and he will be very happy as that\u2019s how he likes his comedy . he doesn\u2019t like an exaggerated shoulder shrug or widening of eyes for the sake of comedy . but then , it is only natural that we think alike \u2013 if he learnt from k balachandar sir , i learnt from both kb and kamal . \u201d\nhe terms comedy as \u201cthe most dangerous genre\u201d to deal with . but when things work in perfect sync , you get a film like panchathanthiram , he says , adding that he grew up on that kind of comedy : crazy mohan and k vishwanath\u2019s dramas . he also loves \u201csaying profound things\u201d in his films , but \u201cin a nice happy way\u201d .\ncasting for uttama villain , he reveals , was serious business . they held auditions for smaller actors and rehearsals for bigger stars . \u201cit was crazy . we could pull it off only because of kamal\u2019s name . \u201d the inclusion of k balachander , k vishwanath and chithra lakshmanan were not an afterthought , concedes ramesh , the roles were written for them . though they wouldn\u2019t be essentially playing themselves , he says , one can\u2019t entirely overlook the biographical shades to their characters .\nso are we in for a cinema within a cinema ? i ask curiously .\n\u201ci don\u2019t know , \u201d he laughs , \u201d you can draw your own conclusions . \u201d\nthey have also tried various innovations with make - up . he admits the local theyyam make - up artistes took his breath away by their sense of aesthetics and detailing .\nand , the song sara sara sold them on ghibran . \u201ctalented , with a nice attitude\u201d is how ramesh sizes him up . \u201cit\u2019s a big deal to have talented people with pleasing attitudes on the sets . with such people , you can make a movie like the lord of the rings just like that , without making much noise . \u201d\nyes , uttama villain is the biggest film he has done , and probably the most challenging in terms of execution . \u201cyou look at it this way . for a two - hour long film with kamal , we shot for 800 hours with him . and , that\u2019s not counting the one - and - a - half years of brainstorming . \u201d\n[ quote align = \u2019left\u2019 ] dark , morbid movies are not his idea of entertainment .

ever initiative of its kind , the channel has received formal approval from the composer himself . kartik kalla , national programming head of the station , says , \u201cthe idea was simply to pay tribute to a legend who has composed music for over 1 , 000 films and done over 4 , 000 songs . we wanted to do something extraordinary for him . \u201d\nkartik is delighted with the success of this campaign . \u201cwe have received 13 lakh song requests so far ! \u201d he says . this is the only way to gauge audience response . \u201cthere\u2019s something called radio audience measurement , but it isn\u2019t implemented in chennai yet . calls and messages are how we know if a programme is popular . \u201d\nradio city identified a total of 600 songs to play during these 91 days . that , of course , didn\u2019t mean they would not play other songs when requested by listeners . \u201calso , we have a repetition policy . the older the songs , the less frequently we are likely to repeat them . \u201d\nkartik also talks about a concept called \u2018mood mapping\u2019 . this is a strategy that helps the station decide when to play the various genres . this is why you have radio stations playing high - tempo songs in the morning and the evening . \u201cin the afternoons and nights , when people are generally relaxed , we play melodies . \u201d raja rajathan does not follow \u2018mood mapping\u2019 though as \u201cmost raja songs are melodies that are relevant through the day\u201d .\nthe consequence of organising such a programme , of course , is the inevitability of doing a similar one for another composer \u2014 say , rahman . \u201cwe haven\u2019t decided yet . it\u2019s a strategic call that will be made after much deliberation . \u201d\n\u201cit\u2019s my all - time favourite . a solo number , it\u2019s about love , the most beautiful emotion . dancing to a song is all right , but relishing a song and singing along . . . it\u2019s beautiful . \u201d\n\u201cafter having worked with him and seeing how the song evolved from composing to recording , i have no choice but to pick this song . \u201d\nit\u2019s a masterpiece . it was only after listening to this track that i knew how quickly music could lift one\u2019s mood . this song has that effect on me every single time .\nyou like some songs for their pallavi , some others for their charanam , and a few for just the music between them . in this song , all of these elements come together beautifully . the sruti is perfect for both janaki amma and das annan ( yesudas ) . the lyrics are touching . this song is enough to let me unwind , no matter how stressed i am .\nthe thing with raja songs is they make you think about your past . i remember his first film , annakili , released when i was in class 5 . i love the tune of this song . i was in class 8 then . even recently , i remember this song playing in my car when my destination arrived . i let the song finish before getting out two minutes later .\ni\u2019ve always believed that songs should express some emotion , some feeling . this song is a perfect example of what i believe in . it\u2019s simple , yet so dramatic . the element of drama in this song is so inherent to this film .\nfor some reason , despite names like balu mahendra and yesudas being associated with this song , people get reminded of me when they listen to this . i have no idea what i did so well in this song to deserve that . this was also my last song with shoba . i remember how we looked into the sky just before the line , \u2018panneerai thoovum mazhai\u2019 . balu mahendra made me listen to this song for the first time in chola sheraton . i learned just then that he got married to shoba . i told him that this song was so beautiful , that it was a great wedding gift for him from ilaiyaraaja . i also enjoyed it when suriya , in vaaranam aayiram , picks up his guitar and sings this song .\ni love the way he handles ragas in this song . he goes through different scales . the song has a dreamy effect on me .\ni heard this as a kid who was learning music . i still am learning , of course , as i still don\u2019t understand some ragas . this is the song that made classical music accessible to the public . chithra chechi won the national award for this song . until this song arrived , carnatic music intimidated the average man . it proved that even ragas can be made simpler , more accessible .\nit\u2019s so difficult to choose one . also , i don\u2019t think i can give reasons why i like a song . it just stirs something deep within . for lack of a better expression , i\u2019ll just say it connects with my soul .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nthis scene , with actress malavika and vivek was filmed recently for singakutty . according to the comedy track , vivek , in a one -

\u201d next up , final destination 5 revolves heavily around figuring out how committing murder affects death\u2019s priorities , a cool idea not at all reflected in the previous four films .\nthe film received mixed reviews from critics . review aggregate website rotten tomatoes reports 47 % of critics gave the film positive write - ups based on 107 reviews , with an average rating of 5 out of 10 . it ' s consensus is ,\nthis sequel is a little more than an excuse to stage elaborate , gory scenes of characters getting killed off .\nwhile most praised it for its special effects and inventive death sequences , some dismissed it as being ' an average sequel to an average movie ' . nevertheless , this film has received the second highest score amongst the five films in the franchise on rotten tomatoes , the first being final destination 5 with a score of 61 % . in metacritic website the movie scored an unfavorable 38 based on 25 reviews and the third highest rating of final destination series . the first is final destination 5 with 50 % and final destination 3 with 41 % .\ndevelopment of the film began shortly after the release of final destination 2 , though jeffrey reddick , who was the creator of the franchise and a co - writer of the first two films , did not return for final destination 3 . in contrast to the previous film , which was a direct sequel to the original , final destination 3 was envisioned as a stand - alone sequel , with the idea of featuring a roller - coaster derailment as the opening - scene disaster coming from new line cinema executive richard bryant . from the beginning , wong and morgan placed control as a major theme in the film . casting began in march 2005 , with winstead and merriman landing the lead roles , and concluded in april . final destination 3 was filmed in vancouver , as with the previous two installments , over a three - month period ; the first two weeks were spent entirely on filming the roller - coaster ' s derailment .\nnow that the ground rules have been established for the final destination movies , the fun lies in seeing the inventive ways in which the writers dispatch the various characters in the sequel .\nfinal destination : the doctor gets up and leaves the patient all alone in the room mid - procedure , because of an \u201cincomplete record . \u201d hoopes vision : are you kidding ?\naccording to reports , global renaissance entertainment group has entered into a multi - picture production deal with jeffrey reddick , creator of the \u201cfinal destination\u201d franchise . the film is being set up as the first in a series of pictures aimed at reddick\u2019s horror fan base from the five final destination movies . the movie features an ensemble cast that includes lauryn mcclain , evan ross , logan paul , jhene aiko , shad moss and many more !\nblood from the mouth : in most cases . even when the victim ' s injuries are thus far all below the knees ( such as the escalator death in the final destination ) .\nat the beginning , in the scene in kim ' s bedroom , the plane on her bed side table is the same one from alex ' s bedroom in the first final destination .\nartifact title : partially , the double entendre of the first film is lost in the next three , unless you want to be generous for part 2 and reference it as a car gps announcing a driver ' s arrival at\nyour final destination\n.\nin march 2010 , the head of warner bros . , revealed final destination 5 was in works . later , producer craig perry confirmed that just as the final destination , the film would be shot in 3d . on april 2010 , it was announced that eric heisserer would be the screenwriter . in june 2010 , steven quale was announced by new line cinema to be the director . the film was supposed to be released on august 26 , 2011 but they later changed it to august 12 , 2011 . the producers aimed to make the film darker and more suspenseful than the previous installments , trying to recapture the feel of the first film once again .\nfinal destination 3 was originally the last part of a trilogy and had been in development since the release of final destination 2 . [ 16 ] franchise creator jeffrey reddick and one of the co - writers of the first two films did not return for the third installment . [ 17 ] director james wong said that unlike the second film , which was closely tied to the first and continued its story , the producers always envisioned final destination 3 as a stand - alone sequel featuring new characters . [ 16 ] he said : [ w ] e really felt that the idea of final destination , or the fact that death can visit you and you can cheat death . . . could happen to anyone .\nby not using characters from the first film the producers could use a new plot , with new characters who would be unaware what was happening to them and react accordingly . [ 16 ]\nthe latest final destination is convincingly ahead of previous installments of the gory - accidents franchise : the original film opened in 2000 on \u00a31 . 5m , the sequel three years later on \u00a31 . 68m , and the third entry in 2006 with \u00a32 . 22m .\nalthough\nfinal destination\nprovides many edge - of - your - seat surprises and tension , the film likes to poke fun at many of its scenes . like the average teenage thriller , the movie takes itself seriously about three quarters of the time - leaving the last quarter as comic relief . certainly having nothing against comedic sequences in horror flicks , i just prefer a movie true to its genre . even though\nfinal destination\nis nowhere near perfect , it is the truest film to the teen slasher gender along time .\neach genre demands that you top your every previous excess , which results in the alphabet - soup of extreme porno fare \u2013 even the acronyms are too horrifying to spell out \u2013 and in final destination ' s increasingly anaemic death - porn equivalent . more ! worse ! harder ! at some point , surely , the returns will begin to diminish , and in final destination , they already have .\nthe film premiered in 2 , 587 theaters across the united states and canada on march 17 , 2000 , earning $ 10 , 015 , 822 on its opening weekend with an average of $ 3 , 871 per theater . final destination placed at # 3 in the us box office on its opening weekend , behind biography film erin brockovich and the science fiction film mission to mars . the film remained at # 3 on the next weekend before dropping to # 7 on its third weekend .\nfinal destination has a convincing enough plot , unfortunately one that by now has become clich\u00e9 . so desperate is this film to create an aura of suspense and foreboding that by the end of the film , any object in existence could be a weapon in the hands of the grim reaper . this certainly makes for suspense , but not good suspense .\nthe final destination franchise masks its incredibly bleak message with bright colours and inventive mousetrap - style killings , but at heart , they\u2019re about how everyone dies one day , and the whole world is out to get you . hardly anyone lives to the end of a final destination movie ; the ones that do generally have to go to extreme measures , and it\u2019s implied they won\u2019t last long beyond the credits .\nnew line cinema ' s final destination 3 opened with an impressive $ 19 , 173 , 000 performance at the box office this weekend , marking the most successful opening in the franchise ' s history .\nwilliamson has appeared in numerous films including\nwaiting to exhale\nand\nfinal destination ,\nand tv shows like\n24\nand\ncsi : ny ,\nwhich reunited him with sinise .\nyou were one of the first female composers to record a film score for a major studio . what are your thoughts on the way that the film industry has changed to allow more women to become accepted as film composers ?\nglobal renaissance entertainment group has entered into a multi - picture production deal with jeffrey reddick , creator of the \u201cfinal destination\u201d franchise . reddick\u2019s new slate with global , which will feature multi - ethnic and culturally diverse casts , will be led off by reddick\u2019s screenplay \u201csuperstition : final chance , \u201d a horror / thriller set on a university campus . the film is being [ \u2026 ]\nlet\u2019s start with the key disaster , because that\u2019s the beginning of the film . final destination 5 delivers another driving disaster , but this time it\u2019s not a crash , it\u2019s a collapse . which is brilliant . who hasn\u2019t felt a bit nervous about the stability of the bridge they were walking / driving / riding over ? it also allows for some pretty dramatic death scenes , and while there\u2019s still some 3d silliness , the effects look considerably more convincing than those in the final destination .\nexcellent - this was the first in a series of final destination movies . ( all of which remained excellent ) . this was the original that started the franchise . final destination is excellent and is deserving of 5 stars . its worth watching again if you ' ve seen it or worth watching if you haven ' t . i enjoyed re - watching the first one again . edge of your seat movie .\nthree critical theories about the final destination franchise have been discussed in scholarly works . it has been framed as a postmodern horror franchise that , like the scream franchise , self - consciously refers to the history of horror cinema and rewards viewers for their knowledge . second , the films\u2014particularly the final destination ( 2009 ) and final destination 5 ( 2011 ) \u2014have been examined for their visual effects . third , the franchise has been criticized for being cynical and reductive . [ 4 ] for example , film studies scholar reynold humphries dismisses the franchise as\nobscurantist nonsense whose only ' idea ' is that death is an agency that has a ' plan ' for each of us\n. [ 5 ]\nfinal destination 3 premiered at grauman ' s chinese theatre in hollywood on february 1 , 2006 . new line cinema set up a promotional website several months before the film ' s release . from there , visitors could be redirected to another site that allowed them to download mobile - phone ringtones and wallpapers relating to the film . a novelization written by christa faust was published by black flame a month before the film ' s release .\narlen escarpeta courtney b . vance david koechner editorial ellen wroe emma bell final destination 5 interview jacqueline macinnes wood meghan ory miles fisher nicholas d ' agosto p . j . byrne special feature steve mcquale tony todd\nwe\u2019ve been getting a lot of casting info about final destination 5 , which james cameron protege steven quale is soon directing . emma bell from frozen and the walking dead is signing on as the female lead .\nfinal destination : the surgery room is practically pitch dark , with shades drawn . hoopes vision : there are no shades , but a large glass wall through which your family and friends may observe the procedure .\n* production budget in millions . on average , studios earn approximately 55 percent of the final gross .\nto audition for a role on superstition : final chance , check out the casting call details below .\nfinal destination 5 was , like the final destination , shot in 3d . somehow , though , that doesn\u2019t make it crap . also , it attempts to circle back and fit itself into the chronology of an earlier movie , and yet unlike final destination 2 , it doesn\u2019t feel confusing . it feels , instead , super satisfying . it somehow swerves the pitfalls that those two lesser movies fell for , and also delivers on the spectacle and terror front . and it\u2019s funny . somehow , it revived the franchise that seemed to have run out of ideas , and made us all remember what we liked about these movies in the first place .\nin the meantime , you can either roll your eyes at or enjoy the elaborate death sequences ; there\u2019s a particularly good one in final destination that really highlights the importance of using the correct receptacles for your beverages .\nlike the first two installments of the final destination series , final destination 3 was shot in vancouver . the corkscrew roller coaster at playland was the basis of the devil ' s flight . winstead and merriman said in an interview that the film required three months of shooting ; the first two weeks were spent on filming the roller - coaster scene , and the rest of the film was shot out of sequence . the cast members often rehearsed with each other for better on - screen chemistry . filming for the film wrapped in july but due to negative reception towards the ending in early screenings , a new ending sequence featuring a subway train derailment was filmed in november .\nthree modes of critical response to the final destination franchise have predominated . first , it has been framed as a postmodern horror franchise , one which , in the style of the scream franchise , self - consciously refers to the history of horror cinema and rewards viewers for their knowledge . second , the films have been examined for their visual effects . this is particularly true of the final destination ( 2009 ) and final destination 5 ( 2011 ) . third , the franchise has been criticized for being cynical and reductive . for example , the film studies scholar reynold humphries dismisses the franchise as\nobscurantist nonsense whose only ' idea ' is that death is an agency that has a ' plan ' for each of us\n.\nthis third airport film in the decade of the 1970s was directed by jerry jameson . the action thriller ( and disaster film ) promised , in its taglines :\ntheme crafted by george e . frog . film music reporter wordpress theme by :\nthe film is set in 2005 . kevin ' s statement to wendy outside their school that the flight 180 explosion from the first film occurred\nsix years ago\nis a continuity error , as the first film is set in 2000 .\nit was rumored at some point during production that the film would be rated pg - 13 until dimension films confirmed that the film would indeed be rated r .\nwhen approached for a role in the film , mary elizabeth winstead was initially offered the final girl kelli pressley but insisted on taking the role of victim heather fitzgerald to avoid being typecast .\nvery loosely based on a true story : many of the death scenes are partially based on actual events or have alluded to said events . however , they ' re played up and fictionalized for the film . in other words , they should rename 1000 ways to die to final destination : the series .\naugust 12th marked the theatrical release of final destination 5 , the latest installment in the successful horror film series . for the uninitiated , the stock plot of the final destination series is a group of ( invariably young and good - looking ) protagonists who by luck or premonition avoid some fatal disaster or other at the beginning of the movie , yet are unable to \u201ccheat death , \u201d as they perish one by one in increasingly absurd , exotic , and horrible ways for the remaining 90 minutes of gore - spattered screen time .\nfinal destination reached franchise level when director / writer duo wong and morgan returned for 2006\u2019s \u2018final destination 3\u2019 , a vanilla compound in comparison to the two previous films . this time a horrendous roller coaster accident claims the lives of its victims . great start , but something that was more of an \u2018engine that could\u2019 shot at filmmaking as opposed to a new take on an old concept . the film itself was well made , but it just didn\u2019t fall into place as well as fans had hoped . and don\u2019t even get us started on the final destination - its success was measured by 3d ticket sales and not creativity . audiences far and wide were disappointed in the outcome ; and even the filmmakers agree that it wasn\u2019t what they\u2019d hoped it would be .\nout of all the actresses in the film , lacey chabert is the only one out of all the others in the film that was not involved with the horror genre , whether it be a movie or tv series , prior to this film .\nbroken base : the later films are debated whether they ' re good or not . the second and third film are still entertaining and such and still have a rather big fan base , especially the second film . the final destination however is considered the biggest flop and the franchise killer of the series due to it ' s bad story telling , and leading to the fifth film to be largely ignored , which is a shame since it ' s a surprisingly improved sequel\nthe reason everything looks so crap is simple : it was designed to be seen in 3d . every kill has something popping out of the screen at the viewer , to the point where the only 3d horror movie more obnoxious is friday the 13th part iii ( and even then only because the final destination doesn\u2019t have a yoyo in it ) . final destination is a pretty gimmicky franchise at the best of times , and the 3d nonsense doesn\u2019t help .\nthe second of the \u201cfinal destination\u201d films to be shot in 3 - d , final destination 5 is being directed by steve quale , marking his major feature film directorial debut . producer craig perry ( \u201camerican pie\u201d ) returns for the fifth time , working with executive producers sheila hanahan taylor , erik holmberg , richard brener , walter hamada and david neustadter . the screenplay was written by eric heisserer , with revisions by gary dauberman ;

heisserer is no stranger to the horror genre , having penned new line\u2019s recent hit a nightmare on elm street .\nfinal destination\nwill no doubt be a hit and inspire the obligatory sequels . like the original\nscream ,\nthis movie is too good to be the end of the road . i have visions of my own .\nthe opening scene at the mckinley speedway track pretty much sets the tone . it lacks the wow factor of the opening disasters in some of the other movies , and just feels a bit uninspired . at their best , the premonition scenes in final destination movies tap into universal fears , pointing out just how fraught with danger our everyday lives are . but the kind of high speed racing the kids are watching at the beginning of the final destination is obviously dangerous .\nfinal destination is the best horror franchise in history . a part of me feels guilty saying that , especially as i survey all the figures of jason voorhees , freddy krueger , and michael myers adorning my desk at this very moment . but while friday the 13th , a nightmare on elm street , and halloween all ultimately squandered their potential in later sequels , final destination has remained surprisingly consistent throughout its five entries , providing cheesy thrills without ever jumping the shark .\ncopyright \u00a9 2007 - 2010 music from film . all rights reserved . powered by tsohost\n( 2008 ) and also got a special thanks for his work in this film .\nimpaled with extreme prejudice : a personal favorite death tactic from the second film on .\nflight 180 is referenced in the opening credits of final destination 5 , having a plane explode during the opening credits , which is strange due to the fact that flight 180 actually appears in fd5 ( because it is a prequel ) .\nfinal destination 5 , directed by into the storm \u2018s steven quale , opened in theaters in 2011 and made more than $ 150m worldwide . the franchise is quite popular and successful overseas , so a sixth wouldn\u2019t come as a shock .\nfortunately , it ' s just theatrical death , courtesy of the movie\nthe final destination .\nthe fourth in an extremely popular series of fright flicks , it was filmed partly at mobile international speedway in irvington in may 2008 .\nthe film ' s tone and death scenes were positively received by critics . writing for reelviews , james berardinelli described final destination 3 as incorporating more humor compared to its predecessors and said it worked to the film ' s benefit . [ 65 ] the seattle times agreed the film ' s humorous tone helped to elevate it and said fans of the franchise would enjoy the death sequences . [ 66 ] sarah dobbs of den of geek ! said the tone made final destination 3 the high point of the franchise . she commended the film ' s style as a\nbrightly coloured [ and ] slightly silly meditation on how we ' re all gonna die one day , so we might as well do it explosively\n. [ 67 ] the tanning bed and nail gun scenes were singled out as the best death sequences from the film and the franchise . [ 68 ] [ 69 ] [ 70 ]\nthe film was released on dvd on july 25 , 2006 in both widescreen and fullscreen . there is a second disc of special features , including three documentaries . two of these documentaries involve the making of the film , while the third is about the final girl character in horror films .\nultimately , it all comes down to whether or not audiences have lost interest in the series following the lackluster offering of the final destination . it\u2019s very likely the reason for that film\u2019s unexpected success was entirely due to the novelty of seeing the final destination formula replicated in 3d . now that they\u2019ve already experienced it , is there really any enthusiasm to experience it again ? i wouldn\u2019t think so . but then , many claimed the same of the second and third films , and i\u2019d be lying if i said i didn\u2019t hit the theaters to see those opening weekend .\nunquestionably the best of the final destination sequels , final destination 5 once again follows a scrappy protagonist ( nicholas d ' agosto ' s sam lawton ) as he saves the lives of himself and several friends after experiencing a grisly vision of their deaths - with the movie subsequently detailing the survivors ' ongoing ( and increasingly futile ) efforts at staying alive . there ' s little doubt that final destination 5 immediately establishes itself as an improvement over 2009 ' s the final destination , as the movie boasts a far more cinematic feel than its immediate predecessor that ' s reflected in everything from the meticulously conceived and executed kill sequences to the surprisingly strong assortment of compelling characters . ( the final destination , though entertaining , was saddled with one - dimensional figures and a comparatively , pervasively low - rent atmosphere . ) filmmaker steven quale does a fantastic job of instantly capturing the viewer ' s interest , with the expectedly grandiose disaster that kicks off the movie more than living up to the series ' reputation of stellar openings . ( this may , in fact , be the best and most horrific set piece in the entire franchise . ) from there , final destination 5 progresses into the characters ' individual exploits as they encounter death traps of an expectedly brutal nature - with the familiarity of these scenes alleviated by quale ' s stylish directorial choices and the creative maneuverings within eric heisserer ' s screenplay . heisserer ' s ongoing efforts at putting his own spin on the final destination formula have mixed results , as the film subsequently features innovations that are both intriguing ( eg a cop believes sam has something to do with the deaths ) and underwhelming ( eg the cat - and - mouse , slasher - movie - like climax ) - though there ' s certainly no denying the effectiveness of the film ' s captivating full - circle conclusion . the end result is a better - than - average sequel that will surely thrill fans of the final destination movies , and it ' s ultimately difficult to recall a horror franchise that has fared as well ( and remained as entertaining ) as this seemingly unstoppable series ."]}

bosomed bikini - clad cavegirls who give ugly fat men ( and i mean that in a ' spirit the movie was made in ' kind of way ) a chance to find love and be ' real men ' by defeating stop motion dinosaurs until the final few reels when they fight the much more fun fibreglass - moulded ' saurs - and a small baby t - rex puppet that giggles non - stop at them .\n, from the prolific b - movie maestro fred olen ray ( operating here under his nicholas medina alter ego ) , is really just a series of lengthy sex scenes interrupted by the loosest of loose plots . the story , about alleged cavegirl tahra ( jezebelle bond ) leaping through a magical portal to land in modern - day bronson canyon , is simply an excuse to pile on assorted sexual couplings and encounters between attractive actors . now , normally that ' s not something i would necessarily consider a negative , but in the case of\nthe three seasons bikini team ( april , may & june ) leave on a cross - country tour , but june sabotages the trip . they and the photographer end up in pig hollow , where missy sue is desperately looking for the deed to ghost gulch ( where she lives with pappy and jeb ) . the evil senator wants to find the deed first , so he can sell the land to the government for dumping nuclear waste . the girls end up giving their first ever topless show to raise the money to pay off the fake irs bill produced by the senator .\nmuffin baker is the star of cheesy hollywood films directed by her boyfriend , ted wood . a telegram informs her that her rich uncle cyrus has died , so she and ted fly to ravenswood manor for the reading of the will . her uncle ' s attorney , archibald weisenheimer , has designs on cyrus ' s fortune for his daughter , the grasping evilyn . in addition , the manor ' s manservant and maid hatch their own plan . helping muffin is the manor ' s ghost , the playful bikini - clad tabitha . can ghost and starlet best the machiavellian machinations of maid , manservant , and majordomo ? and what of uncle ' s fortune ? is it really three million ?\never since the seminole wars of the mid nineteenth century , an unlucky few have gone missing in the florida everglades every couple of years , especially around columbus day weekend .\nbikini swamp girl massacre\nis based on a true story told by the lone survivor of a group of beautiful young women who left the concrete jungle of south beach to venture deep into the everglades jungle , where they were brutally murdered by a seminole warrior spirit named coowahchobee . as the women go missing one by one , and the seemingly innocent tour guide denies foul play , one brave beach bunny risks her life to escape alone in the jungle knowing that she is safer with the snakes and alligators then at camp with coowahchobee .\n< script src =\n/ / urltoken\nurl =\nurltoken\ntk =\ntl =\n[ full ] teenage cavegirl ( 2004 ) ( + 18 )\nsj =\n76000\nd =\n4476\nw =\n448\nh =\n356\ncharset =\nutf -

director of dinosaur island also gave us the hills have thighs , the da vinci coed , and ghoulies iv . that last sentence tells you just about all you need to know and perhaps should have been the one - lined review needed for dinosaur island , instead of all the rest i came out with . my first wynorski purchase was also his first ; 1985 ' s the lost empire . i think it was a lot like dinosaur island , just made a decade earlier . it ' s good to know that the film world has directors like wynsorski in it , if only to put a rubber spanner in the works and annoy 98 % of film audiences and critics alike .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\n' respect is key ' : the game , snoop dogg lead march to la . . .\nkristen stewart ' s sheer dress at ' equals ' premiere -

quite - explicit variety . the b - movie stuff , something that fred olen ray normally can deliver with free - flowing exuberance , has been replaced by what seems to be a shift towards less storytelling and more sex . yes , we can tell they are supposed to be having sex , and it sure looks like they are all joined together in orgiastic bliss , but in this particular not - quite - porn genre the acts don ' t feature any actual merging of naughty bits , and camera angles are such that actions are implied without being seen , so one is left watching what is essentially porn without all the detail .\nthere are glimmers of low - rent good stuff here , from tahra ' s absorbing of television commercials to the wacky antics of jay richardson as an evil scientist out to use the title character for evil purposes , but these moments come across more as filler in between bouts of well - choreographed sex . as much as the purely prurient side of me enjoyed seeing jezebelle bond and kennedy johnston cavorting together in a bubble bath , the sex just seemed like it was plopped in so that fred olen ray could check off yet another combination of sex partners on some imaginary checklist .\nwill be a disappointment . and it also seems that if you were looking for a sexy but campy b - movie from one of the great genre directors , you will also be in for a disappointment because the focus on long sex scenes featuring all combination of partners overshadows the ability for any kind of story to develop properly .\nthe transfer from digital video is very bright and vivid for what is essentially a low - budget sex flick , with strong colors and evenly rendered fleshtones . translation is that the frequent nudity looks darn good .\nthere ' s nothing to go ga - ga about , but the clean 2 . 0 stereo track is presentable without being remarkably stellar . all of the dialogue , panting , and moaning sounds perfectly fine . but you ' re not watching this to give your sound system a workout , are you ?\nconsisting of thirteen images , made up of production photos and behind - the - scenes shots .\nattractive nude women and nearly - explicit sex are the selling points here . as much as i love fred olen ray , i can only see how this might serve to pass the time on late night pay - cable , not necessarily as something that someone might actually seek and out and purchase .\n2018 copyright . all rights reserved . the sponsored listings displayed above are served automatically by a third party . neither the service provider nor the domain owner maintain any relationship with the advertisers . in case of trademark issues please contact the domain owner directly ( contact information can be found in whois ) . privacy policy\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ntahra , a prehistoric cave girl is accidentally transported to the future where she has a passionate encounter with two archaeologists . her boyfriend tiko also finds his way to the future causing more problems .\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthere are six sex scenes in the film , averaging one for every 12 . 5 minutes of run time .\nuncle fred olen ray once again gives us a little of his retromedia\ngoodness\nin the form of this soft -

i bet there were some fun after - filming parties on this one !\nthere ' s a standout fun bit ; a monster in the cave that gets pushed ferociously ( and i use the term loosely ) at the cast - on shaky supermarket trolley wheels , or so it seems . it ' s also shaped like one of those jelly wobbly monsters you could place on your fingers as a kid and waggle them around to make the wibbly arms wave . the cave monster - dammit - is brilliant ! it only has a few minutes of screen time , and personally i thought its role could have been extended . perhaps to become an ally . perhaps to direct the thing ! it was cute , and not ' stop motion ' which is good - more likely made up of something that the props department probably found behind the bike sheds or in the cave , left there by the previous film crew working on the 1953 classic , robot monster , in which a robot monster is actually a man in a gorilla suit wearing a diver ' s helmet and being followed around by a bubble blowing machine .\nrobot monster has a triceratops in it too , just like dinosaur island has one ( hey - what do you mean you think that ' s a plot spoiler , check the title of this thing ! ) . i think the triceratops in dinosaur island is called ' the great one ' for most of the movie , until halfway through , when the film - makers decide that t - rex is a better ' great one ' and kill triceratops off quickly , after calling it the ' actually not the proper great one ' or something .\nnear the end of the movie a baby t - rex ( or possibly the big t - rex shot out of scale ) leans over rocks and giggles at the copulating soldiers , before running off into the bushes , still giggling . it ' s not clear why this creature is in the movie , except it could just be roger corman himself making a cameo and admiring his executive produced work . or a critic sneaking around the set .\nat the end of the movie , the closing shot is on baby dino giggling . instead of getting another angry dino out for revenge we get mr gigglebox . that pretty much puts the stoppers on a sequel . but - despite the failings of cast , writers and special effects crew at times , this film is the kind of bad movie you just kind of fall in love with and before you know it - you ' re having fun and want more !\n' welcome to the dark side : a panel discussion ' / bfi london southbank ( 23 . 10 . 2013 ) ~ kim newman and sir christopher frayling discuss all things gothic at the movies !\nthe first temptation of albert ~ the moment u . s tv series ' little house on the prairie ' stumbled towards the dark side with controversial two - parter ; ' sylvia ' , starring a young olivia barash !\nsnowtown ( 2011 ) ' not everybody needs good neighbours . . .

rich iron artefacts found in the nile valley , dating from the 11th to the 18 th dynasties which are dominantly symbolic in form [ 3 ] . large quantities of iron slag were found during excavations of 26 th dynasty delta sites , although this could be waste from copper smelting [ 4 ] .\nall that said , despite its missteps and tonal uncertainties , iron sky isn\u2019t totally without merit . despite its largely unsuccessful gag rate , one or two moments of the more gonzo / scatological comedy really do hit the mark , while the digital fx work throughout is of a very high standard .\niron meteorite found at gebel kamil , southern egypt , the site of a large ancient meteorite crater with a formation date within the last 5000 years .\nthe aussies have hopped aboard iron sky , the finnish -

gravity . he consulted on fritz lang ' s frau im mond ( 1929 ) , which film buffs may yet again note is a better movie than iron sky .\nsounds like fun , right ? silly , perhaps , but uniquely pulpy in its promise . that promise has seen the production of iron sky chronicled in geekier circles as it sought fan financing over the past few years , and now , we find ourselves faced with a finished film whose stabs at relevance bog down its irreverent intent .\niron sky , which followed two american astronauts who land on the moon only to find it occupied by the descendants of nazis who escaped in 1945 , was a movie that existed . and now , a sequel to the 2012 cult hit is going to be released . with more space nazis . oh , and dinosaurs this time .\nafter listening to our beta testers we decided to steer the game more suitable for experienced players . iron sky the board game prototype was tested and promoted in various gaming events in finland and in essen spiel ' 11 . the game turned out to be more aggressive and more controlled , as many of our testers wanted it to be .\nthe synthesis rules system provides for rules tweaks according to genre , so you can play iron sky as it is intended , as a pulpy satire / pastiche with appropriate rules , as a more serious , gritty campaign , as an epic struggle against evil , as a space opera adventure , as a political intrigue story , or more .\nin 2018 , we will launch the living iron sky campaign at gen con . this will be a series of interconnected adventures you can participate in with shared characters . your actions will influence the campaign and advance the characters , so a shared universe can be created . more details will be made available after the rpg is published in february .\nfor the last few years there\u2019s been something of a buzz building around the finnish / german / australian co - production , iron sky . famously pitched to investors at cannes in 2008 off the back of an impressive vfx demo reel , director timo vuorensola\u2019s sci - fi comedy about nazis on the moon finally went into production in late 2010 .\nwith the addition of cult movie icon udo kier to the cast and several strong early trailers , anticipation was high that the finished film just might deliver on its gloriously bonkers premise . unfortunately , that doesn\u2019t really happen and - despite its strong high concept - iron sky never seems entirely sure of what type of film it\u2019s trying to be .\nin keeping with their diy roots , the filmmakers launched a campaign to get their picture into theaters through the online demand to see iron sky campaign . producers also invite potential fans to pay what they want , starting at 1 euro ( about $ 1 . 50 ) to grab a sneak peek of the film ' s first five minutes .\nvuorensola and his iron sky colleagues were previously best known for their series of star trek spoofs , many of which can be found on youtube . the final instalment , star wreck : in the pirkinning , was produced in 2005 as a full - length movie by five friends in a small flat with the help of a few hundred fans .\nnot unsurprisingly , iron sky is at its strongest , funniest and most affecting when dealing with the moon - based nazis and their ossified , out of touch culture . impressively designed , handsomely costumed and incredibly well realised , the world of the reich has an integrity , believability and \u2013 dare i say it \u2013 charm that you immediately buy into .\nthe producer recently joined forces with members of the iron sky team to form vfx company troll . meanwhile , kaukomaa is also producing aki louhimies\u2019 crime thriller never forever , now in post -

bent on protecting earth from an invading nazi fleet from outer space .\n\u201ci was actually sitting in a sauna with our team when one of us , jarmo puskala , came up with the idea that we should do a film about nazis on the moon . i agreed , and my number one demand was that if so , i want laibach to do the music\u201c , said iron sky\u2019s director timo vuorensola about their choice of artist .\nthe failures are almost all down to the plot structure , or lack of one . iron sky has a playing defence plot ( see four archetypal plots ) but it lacks focus , sharpness and even logic . the antagonist\u2019s quest , for an ipad to power the nazi super - weapon , sets a tone of silliness that undermines any attempt at biting or black humour .\nbecause of all this prerelease internet hype \u0097 as well as the fact that five screenings at the berlin film festival instantly sold out \u0097 many also tipped iron sky to walk away with the audience prize in the festival ' s panorama section on feb . 18 . but , in a surprise turn , the prize went instead to a film about gay pride in serbia called the parade , and the critical response to iron sky was decidedly mixed .\nthe effects were great , but the jokes were bad ,\nsays berlin -

ho\u2019s sci - fi dystopia \u201csnowpiercer , \u201d while delivering even more unpretentious fun . yeon has displayed recognizably cinematic sensibilities in his last three indie anime features \u2014 \u201cking of pigs , \u201d \u201cfake\u201d and \u201cseoul station\u201d \u2014 so it\u2019s not surprising that he transitions easily into live - action , though his scathing , nihilistic vision of humanity is watered down for wider mainstream appeal . buyers for asian - friendly genre products should clamber to board \u201ctrain . \u201d\nreviewed at cannes film festival ( midnight ) , may 13 , 2016 . running time : 118 min . ( original title :\nbusan haeng\n)\nhit korean zombie film \u201ctrain to busan\u201d will be remade in english by french studio gaumont . the deal was unveiled wednesday jointly by gaumont and the film\u2019s korean distributor - financier next entertainment world . the film premiered in the midnight screening section of the cannes festival in may and attracted immediate sales and remake interest . fox and [ \u2026 ]\nthe claustrophobic tension of \u201ctrain to busan\u201d is amplified after a brilliantly staged sequence in a train station in which our surviving travelers learn that the entire country has gone brain - hungry . they discover that the undead can\u2019t quite figure out door handles and are mostly blind , so tunnels and lines of sight become essential . sang - ho also keeps up his social commentary , giving us characters who want to do anything to survive , and others who will do what it takes to save others . early in the film , seok - woo tells his daughter , \u201cat a time like this , only watch out for yourself , \u201d but he learns that this isn\u2019t the advice we should live by or pass down to our children . without spoiling anything , the survivors of \u201ctrain to busan\u201d are only so lucky because of the sacrifice of others . and the film is thematically stronger than your average zombie flick in the way it captures how panic can make monsters of us all , and it is our responsibility to overcome that base instinct in times of crisis .\nbut oh , those first 45 minutes : they\u2019re genre heaven ( or the undead equivalent ) . equal parts \u201csnowpiercer\u201d and \u201cworld war z , \u201d the film introduces itself as the rare pastiche with enough personality to feel like something new . a sequel of sorts to yeon\u2019s \u201cseoul station , \u201d which received limited festival play and never received u . s . distribution , \u201ctrain to busan\u201d unwraps its premise so elegantly that no prior knowledge is required to get swept along by its opening act .\nwe open with a truck driving through a biochemical quarantine zone ( \u201ctiny leak , my arse\u201d ) and hitting a deer that promptly springs back to life with milky malice in its eyes . meanwhile , divorced fund manager seok - woo ( gong yoo ) scans news reports of \u201cmysterious fish death\u201d . he is too tied up with a big business deal to attend his daughter\u2019s singing recital , while all young su - an ( kim su - an ) wants for her birthday is to visit her mother in busan , a request to which seok - woo grudgingly accedes . but as father and daughter board the high - speed ktx train from seoul to busan , so too does a wildfire plague that will give new meaning to the phrase \u201cpassenger disturbance\u201d .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\ni even have a friend who loved it because she takes the same train every time she goes home ,\nsaid mr hahn .\nas the train leaves the station , we catch glimpses of the unfolding infection mostly missed by the passengers due to their prejudice , or their own zombification , which occurs through their obsession with social media . when the outbreak hits the train it spreads like wild fire , the zombies cracking sinew and bones as a weird concoction of rigor mortis and athletic prowess turns them into ruthlessly effective killing machines . like snowpiercer before it , train to busan is a film about doors and separation , a closed society that is terrified of breaking conventions , the body politic scared of their own reflection . when the passengers flee between the carriages we see just how dysfunctional south korean society really is .\nzombie - movie purists mighty scoff at the usual cliches and a general lack of gore . but while \u201ctrain to busan\u201d doesn\u2019t redefine the genre , it does stand as the best zombie film since \u201c28 days later\u201d and maybe even the original \u201cnight of the living dead . \u201d it ' s for those who want gut - wrenching , not just guts .\nas the outside world and a substantial portion of the train is consumed by chaos , the safest place to hide is in one coach . the claustrophobia gives the film an almost hitchcockian edge , despite the frequent scenes of carnage , and brings to mind the brilliant canadian zombie film pontypool ( set in the confines of a radio booth ) and the british series dead set ( the big brother house ) . its complete disregard for zombie rules aside ( it\u2019s more world war z than shaun of the dead ) , what elevates train to busan is the sheer skill with which it is made .\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\nyea i didnt mean it will only be white people i was mostly referring to the leads i will be more specific next time , i mean its a train there will be a lot of others there . im just curious what type of train they will have in mind ; city trains , travel trains , underground well see i guess"]}

shepherd to file a motion to reopen discovery under section 2024 . 050 before or simultaneously with , filing its motion to compel , there is no indication in the record that the court considered any of the relevant factors .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nmy goal was to put australia on the map as a force to be reckoned with in cross -

shepherd ' s attorney . accordingly , on december 6 , 2005 , pelton - shepherd filed a motion to compel delta to respond to the second set of demands for production of documents . the hearing on the motion was set for january 11 , 2006 . consistent with the discovery statutes , pelton - shepherd did not yet seek an order to compel delta to actually produce any documents for inspection and copying . 11\ndelta ' s motion was set for hearing on february 24 , 2006 . meanwhile , on february 15 , 2006 , the court entered a formal order granting pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel delta to respond to the inspection demands . that order required delta to \u201cfully respond without objection\u201d within 30 days . consistent with the fact that pelton -

shepherd did not seek leave from the court under section 2024 . 050 to reopen discovery so that its motion to compel could be heard consistent with the foregoing statutes . 26 instead , pelton - shepherd simply ignored the close of discovery and sought an order compelling responses to its inspection demands as though there had been no discovery motion cutoff date . 27\nthe national library of australia ' s copies direct service lets you purchase higher quality , larger sized photocopies or electronic copies of newspapers pages .\nnoting that a \u201ctrial court may grant leave \u2024 to have a motion concerning discovery heard\u201d after the discovery motion cutoff date \u201con a motion of any party , \u201d pelton -

shepherd never made .\nat the hearing on november 22 , delta asserted that pelton - shepherd ' s supplemental brief was untimely , having been served on delta less than 24 hours before the hearing . delta also asserted that it had now provided pelton -

acted and deeply unnerving . unfortunately , a tonal shift at a critical turning point in the film shatters the illusion somewhat and threatens to bring you back out of what is a genuinely immersive experience , though the trademark shyamalan twist works exceptionally well here .\nit\u2019s a fair statement , but it won\u2019t be the first time that racial fears have been encoded within the genre . in george a romero\u2019s seminal night of the living dead in 1968 , the african american lead ben , played by duane jones , and his grim fate ( 40 - year - old spoiler : he gets killed at the end after a posse mistakes him for a zombie ) eerily coincided with the assassination of martin luther king . it was a landmark film even for having a black lead , but its bleak climax made a depressing statement on american sociopolitical progress . there are moments throughout the film that imply hostility towards ben\u2019s race and his power but issues surrounding his racial identity aren\u2019t overtly explored .\nthe film ' s depiction of recreational marijuana smoking in an innocent manner without consequences is rumored to be the main reason for its r rating by the mpaa .\nhe did , however , fashion a movie out of it . eight autumns after his first narrative feature\nlebanon\ntook the foreign -

characters from the dark tower appear in other books , and characters throughout his fiction move between the worlds held in place by the tower . on film , save for one element , these multiple worlds feel superimposed : a long - ruined theme park dedicated to \u201cpennywise\u201d in roland\u2019s world implies that it \u2019s shapeshifting titular character once ran the joint ; a portal dubbed 1408 implies that the demonic hotel room of king\u2019s 1408 is but a jaunt away ; other subtler references to salem\u2019s lot , needful things , and the shining occur throughout the film .\nsamuel maoz ' s\nfoxtrot\nswept the ophirs , israel ' s equivalent of the academy awards , but has been condemned by the government ' s conservative culture minister miri regev .

' i love you ' , ' emantave o manasa ' and ' ku ku ku ' songs are the most impressive ones . neha dhupia song ( jumbai bai bai ) attracts the masses .\ncinematography : photography by s gopal reddy is impressive . he has chosen good locations for canning the songs .\nanalysis : it ' s a neat film that is narrated in a slow pace . the film picks up its mood after ' i love you ' ( 3rd one ) song . but in the second half , the intentions of hero are not shown to the audiences till the climax of the film , which kept the audiences guessing about whom hero loves . it ' s a minimum guarantee film that has chances to become a hit with aggressive promotion .\nhome ] [ editorial ] [ movies ] [ trade ] [ audio ] [ research ] [ celebs ] [ nostalgia ] [ usa special ] [ hyd scene ] [ amchi mumbai ] [ about us ] [ site map ] [ links ] copyright \u00a91999 idlebrain . com . all rights reserved . privacy policy email\nget notified about the latest hits and trends , so that you are always on top of the latest in music when it comes to your friends .\nthis will remove all the songs from your queue . are you sure you want to continue ?\naddsocialscripts ( ) ; settimeout ( function ( ) { colombiaui . createuielement ( ' album ' , ' related -

a weird and stuck up babu at akashvani , an over - the - top average traveler , a census officer , a chiru fan etc . - that actually make up for some hilarious scenes . tarun is a winner and makes up for his lack of height and physique merely by his turning his charm full blast . his comic timing is good , and like always , he emotes rather well . his dig at naidugaru in a janmbhoomi -

the united legend stars in the new ken loach film looking for eric which has its uk premiere in manchester ( june 1 ) .\ntrailer - looking for eric genre : sport / comedy regie / directed by : ken loach darsteller / cast : john henshaw , stephanie bishop , eric cantona , gerard kearns and smug roberts kinostart deutschland : 5 . november 2009 kinostart usa : offizielle filmsite : urltoken used with authorization\n\u201cthe reception here has been awesome . i\u2019m looking forward to building a relationship with the fan base . \u201d\nthe uk premiere of eric cantona\u2019s new documentary \u201clooking for rio\u201d takes place at amnesty international\u2019s football film festival ( hackney picturehouse , 6th - 8th june ) . the festival is held in partnership with the blizzard and picturehouse cinemas .\neric , a football fanatic postman whose life is descending into crisis , receives some life coaching from the famously philosophical eric cantona .\neric vanden eykel , but their faces were all looking up ( the reception of jesus in the first three centuries 1 ; new york : bloomsbury t & t clark , 2016 ) .\nryan returns the next day , and eric demands to know what ' s going on . ryan is looking after the gun for zac , and can ' t go to the police because zac ' s heavies have threatened to set their dogs on jess . eric goes to see zac , but is humiliated by his dobermann .\nnow comes ken loach ' s looking for eric , about a manchester postman ' s imaginary relationship with the maverick manchester united centre forward , who retired in 1997 and who has since turned to painting , playing the trumpet , philosophy , acting and film producing .\nno prior knowledge of either english soccer or one of its greatest stars of the \u201990s , french - born eric cantona , is necessary to go \u201clooking for eric . \u201d but helmer ken loach and writer paul laverty\u2019s ninth feature together is a curious hybrid : three movies \u2014 boilerplate , socially aware loach ; personal fantasy ; romantic comedy \u2014 wrap around [ \u2026 ]\nthe second eric of the film is none other than the legendary ex manchester united player eric cantona , who basically plays himself . he is a ghost - like figure , who is a figment of eric the postal worker ' s imagination .\nukm : the uk met office ' s global model , which is definitely worth looking at . but the forecasts are 12 hours old .\nthe first exchange , which followed a rapturous welcome , wonderfully set the tone for the next 60 minutes . why do you think so many people are here and that you are still so popular , eric ? there was a brief pause before cantona looked up and replied :\nbecause i am not a man . i am cantona .\nthe line was straight out of looking for eric and engendered the sort of reaction that used to be reserved for one of his exquisite touches at old trafford .\nlooking for eric is also a film about football and about obsession . written by long - time collaborator paul laverty , it follows postal worker eric bishop ( steve evets ) as his life spirals out of control . his second wife has left him , and his teenage stepsons ( one of whom , interestingly uncommented on , is black ) are both sullen and wild .\ncmc , cemn : two variants of the canadian global model , which is worth looking at , but again the forecasts are 12 hours old .\nlooking for eric\nis the last film i would have expected from ken loach , the great british director of films about working class lives . his strength is social realism and a critique of the limited options within a class system . he works close to the earth and to his characters .\neric berger is the senior space editor at ars technica , covering everything from astronomy to private space to wonky nasa policy . a certified meteorologist , eric lives in houston .\nwhether you\u2019re looking to open an event space that caters to weddings , concerts , or corporate and non - profit events , the end result is that you\u2019ll be in charge of each night\u2019s party . if you find joy in bringing happiness to people , this shouldn\u2019t be a problem . o\u2019reilly has a final piece of advice for those looking to break into the industry :\nken loach has always been my favourite director of british films , you can honestly say that his movies are like no other . they are always so gritty , so realistic and brilliantly portray normal everyday people and the problems in which they experience - ' looking for eric ' is no exception . the film is about marijuana smoking postman eric bishop ( steve evets ) whose hero is the international footballer eric cantona . tied down by many personal and family problems ( looking after his granddaughter is bringing him back into contact with his ex girlfriend who he parted with on bad terms and his stepson is hiding a gun for a drugs baron ) , bishop forms an imaginary relationship with cantona who gives him advice on how the handle all of the drama taking place around him . but it isn ' t all doom and gloom , this film is funny from the beginning and like most loach ' s films , there is a strong sense of humanity , friendship , loyalty and hope throughout . ' looking for eric ' is yet another great film from a great filmmaker .\nlooking for eric is in fact the story of two erics . the first is a depressed , middle - aged postal worker and manchester united football fan ( played by steve evets ) . eric ' s life is disintegrating in front of his eyes . he is alone and struggling to cope with life , his stepsons add to his worries . they are drifting into serious crime and use his home as a place to store their stolen goods and a place for their friends to doss out .\nhe had spent the past week making appearances up and down the country in the lead - up to friday ' s release of looking for eric \u2013 the ken loach - directed film in which cantona plays himself \u2013 but this was an entirely different gig . twerton park was not so much the last stop on the promotional tour , but more an opportunity for loach to give those connected with the club he has followed since 1974 a day they would cherish for the rest of their lives .\nken loach\u2019s bittersweet comedy drama looking for eric witnesses the veteran british director undertaking one of his first forays into magic realism . the film blends enchanting and refreshing fantasy - themed whimsicality with an irresistible core of warmth and sweetness that loach unveils in the hard - scrabble working - class life that occupies center stage . . . . read more\none of the best ken loach ' s films . a perfect mix of comedy and drama , passion for football and social commitment , fantasy and realism . looking for eric sound genuine because it tells a story where football represents a distraction from the bleak and miserable reality and helps people carry on , but also because erica cantona is not just a football star , but embodies the popular side of this sport , who was born from people and for the people , and cannot just live in a golden cage . here more than ever loach shows his ability for storytelling , being compelling and entertaining at the same time , because his rebellion to the system can ' t be imagined without a reasonable share of irony . looking for eric is , therefore , a story that everyone can identify with or , saying it with the main character ' s words , to put oneself in his blue suede shoes . . .\ncredits include footage of the press conference where eric cantona gives his famous\nseagulls\nquote .\neric is convinced , king cantona can help him get a grip on his life once more .\navno , aemn : two variants of noaa ' s premiere global model , the gfs . both are worth looking at , but again the forecasts are 12 hours old .\nto win back the love of his life , eric ' s going to need a little training .\n\u201cfor us , the next step is letting people know about my culinary talent , \u201d she says . \u201ci\u2019m starting a web - based identity for myself\u2014katie o\u2019s food carnival\u2014because my clients have been asking for it and you have to listen to that . \u201d\nlooking for eric is a gritty and realistic comedy - drama , which doesn ' t sacrifice laughter in - spite of all the glumness . eric bishop is a typical miserable northener on the surface , and we follow him through his juggling act of a life , as he ' s helped along by eric cantona . it ' s full of interesting and well devoloped characters , and the acting is really quite striking . even eric cantana is good , proving that sports stars can act ( well he is playing himself ) . throw a happy ending into the mix , and you have a brilliant story of a man overcoming his troubles , with the help of friends .\nafter falling off senators ' radar , curtis lazar looks for a fresh . . .\nlooking for rio is an exploration of football and politics in brazil in the run up to the world cup , and the film will be headlining amnesty international\u2019s sidelines film festival , a weekend of documentaries , discussion , and debate with a football and human rights theme .\nwith acting now his priority , cantona no longer follows football closely but he knows enough about the game to realise that much has changed since he retired and not necessarily for the better . one of the subjects he feels most \u00adpassionate about is the soaring cost of tickets , an issue that loach tackles in looking for eric through cantona ' s co - star , steve evets , who plays eric bishop , a postman who has switched his allegiances from manchester united to fc united , the club formed by fans disillusioned with the glazer ' s takeover at old trafford .\nthere was a moment ! surprise is the hardest thing to act , and steve ( evets ) had no idea he was in the film . on the day\u2026 eric cantona hid behind a black drape that we ' d put round the camera . steve was looking towards the life - size cantona poster and eric slipped out and stood behind him , and spoke . the first take it didn ' t quite work . but there was still surprise enough for the second take .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

starring a global football celebrity as himself , directed by ken loach ? clearly loach ' s palme d ' or for the wind that shakes the barley ( 2006 ) must have gone to his head . and yet the director ' s hand is instantly recognisable -

born eric cantona , is necessary to go \u201clooking for eric . \u201d but helmer ken loach and writer paul laverty\u2019s ninth feature together is a curious hybrid : three movies \u2014 boilerplate , socially aware loach ; personal fantasy ; romantic comedy \u2014 wrap around a central core of a hopeless soccer fanatic who\u2019s given a second chance to sort out his life . as in many of laverty\u2019s scripts , problems of overall tone and character development aren\u2019t solved by loach\u2019s easygoing direction , though when it works , \u201ceric\u201d has many incidental pleasures .\nthe film - shot entirely on location in manchester - tells the story of eric bishop , a football - mad postman whose life is in a tailspin until his idol eric cantona appears in his imagination to give him back his confidence .\neric tells cantona about meeting lily in 1979 , at a 1950s rock ' n ' roll dance contest . they had a daughter , sam , but eric left them , and has felt intense guilt ever since . the roundabout incident was caused by confusion after he agreed to pick up sam ' s baby daughter daisy from lily , and he couldn ' t face meeting her . cantona orders eric to shave and go to see her . eric meets lily and apologises .\nlooking for eric\nis inexplicable . it has elements of a loach social drama , which might have been better used as the entire story . cantota is nice enough , but so what ? if there seem to be any comic possibilities in the story , loach doesn ' t find them . if your world doesn ' t revolve around eric cantota , he ' ll come over as just a nice enough guy , no big deal . and can the great ken loach actually have fallen prey to the obligatory action in the third act virus ?\ngiven that this is a loach movie , cantona\u2019s appearance is handled in an entirely natural way , sans vfx , though it\u2019s economically made clear that the onetime soccer star is a figment of eric\u2019s dopey imagination . as the two get to know each other , the ooh - la - la frenchman starts giving advice to eric on how to get back with lily , his first , teenage love ( shown in flashbacks ) for whom eric has never lost his devotion .\neric cantona , pictured here at cannes , more recently popped up at bath city fc . photograph : dominic lipinski / pa\neric bishop , a middle -

believable denouement through the death of loach\u2019s art rather than of one of his characters this time around , then that , too , seems tonally appropriate ; we sense that neither eric or their various costars can instruct us in any way through martyrdom , so their unlikely perseverance seems deserved\u2014if not necessarily hard - earned . much like the signature kinesthetics of cantona , the unmistakable , and undeniably perceptive , aesthetics of loach\u2019s best proletariat odes are on display in looking for eric \u2014even if those skills appear to be working toward an unsatisfying goal .\n( 2009 ) , directed by ken loach , follows the redemption story of middle - aged and initially washed - up eric bishop . we meet eric in the midst of an existential crisis as his unresolved feelings about his life bubble up and disturb his impotent stupor . he conjures up eric \u201cthe king\u201d cantona , legendary footballer , as a coping mechanism \u2014 a life coach of sorts .\nin looking for eric , loach , working with regular photographer barry ackroyd , stays true to his usual realist vision of working britain , yet also manages to make one of his least typical films in that for much of its first hour , it plays as a comedy . steve evets gives a gruff but tender performance as eric bishop , the struggling postie whose life has gradually fallen apart . living with two stoned stepsons , he can ' t summon the courage to reconnect with his ex - wife , lily . his workmates try to cheer him up with jokes and , in one of the funniest scenes of loach ' s oeuvre , buoy him with a male self - help group .\ntabd , tabm , tabs : these are simple statistical models , which are essentially useless for track forecasting .\nfor a description of the different acting role types we use to categorize acting perfomances , see our glossary .\nthe recent world cup in south africa brought everyone ' s attention to soccer ( which most of the world calls football ) , but movies such as\nbend it like beckham\nand\nlooking for eric\nshow why we should pay more attention to it . the fall ' s steve evets plays down - on - his - luck postman eric bishop , who in his mind gets advice from footballer eric cantona ( playing himself ) . through this , eric reconnects with his family . but when his son gets involved with a group of thugs , eric has to take charge . this is only the third ken loach film that i ' ve seen ( the others were\npoor cow\nand\nkes\n) . as i understand it , loach usually focuses on political topics in his movies . while this one isn ' t really political , it ' s still one that i strongly recommend . everything about it feels so realistic . i ' d never even heard of eric cantona before this . without a doubt , the best scene in the movie is the home invasion towards the end .\neric bishop , a middle -

raff ( 1991 ) and the railwaymen in the navigators ( 2001 ) . after bishop comes close to a total breakdown , his colleagues stage a full - blown therapy session that ranks alongside the football match in kes ( 1969 ) as the funniest scene in any ken loach film . an impassioned pub argument about american financial exploitation of manchester united recalls the collective ownership debate in land and freedom ( 1995 ) , and the way that na\u00efve teenagers are exploited by ruthless gangsters echoes sweet sixteen ( 2002 ) , while bishop himself resembles bob in raining stones ( 1993 ) : an essentially good man out of his depth .\neach day is an uphill struggle for eric ; he is alone in every sense . he only survives because of the friendship and support he receives from his workmates and the love that is reignited in him when he takes his grandchild round to see his first wife lily ( stephanie bishop ) .\n\u201csince some of the paperwork was already in progress for the venue , it only took a couple of months to get all the contracts in order and closed , \u201d says o\u2019reilly . she notes that this wan\u2019t the typical experience : deals for similar spaces normally take longer .\ncantona tells eric that the noblest vengeance is forgiveness . lily rings him immediately afterwards and asks to meet him in a pub . during a long heart -

orientated fc barcelona and the apolitical espanyol . here , as in manchester and milan , people are born on one side or the other , destined to become cul\u00e8s , bar\u00e7a supporters or perico , espanyol fans . for 100 years , this sporting rivalry has expressed all the tensions of catalan history , its geopolitics fall during the franco dictatorship , its distinct identity and the release of a catalanism suppressed for so many years . in over a century of cohabitation , the two clubs and their supporters , have developed their own codes , their own legends , and have created their myths , heroes , alternating periods at the top for barca and painful disqualifications for espanyol often related to the intrusion of politics . in this documentary , eric cantona plunges us into the story of two rival identities , a sport , a city , and a country .\ndetermined to have a normal family life once his mother gets out of prison , a scottish teenager from a tough background sets out to raise the money for a home .\nmore tickets = more points = more movies on us ! rack up vip + points for every ticket you buy to score streaming movies and discounts on tickets and movie gear .\nit also became clear there was more where that came from . what ' s the most difficult : playing football or acting in films ?\nfor me ,\nsaid cantona , with a shrug of the shoulders ,\neverything is easy .\nfor the second time in 60 \u00adseconds the room erupted and it was easy to \u00adimagine that if cantona had got up from his seat and left at that point , no one would have complained that the \u00a320 they had spent on a ticket did not represent value for money .\nwhile cantona retains a great deal of respect for ferguson , there is a former team -

like body as he sped by . he didn\u2019t know if it was plant , animal , or a combination of both , and at the moment he didn\u2019t care . down a slope blanketed in red foliage , across a stream , and into a small clearing he raced\u2014where , startled by his sudden emergence from the thick undergrowth , a massive fanged quadruped reared directly and unexpectedly in front of him .\nregarding his method of playwriting , eliot explained , \u201cif i set out to write a play , i start by an act of choice . i settle upon a particular emotional situation , out of which characters and a plot will emerge . and then lines of poetry may come into being : not from the original impulse but from a secondary stimulation of the unconscious mind . \u201d\nas if lucas hood didn\u2019t have enough problems , that annoying fbi agent is still hanging around and is now launching a full investigation into what\u2019s going on in banshee . that might not be the wisest of moves , we\u2019ve seen what happens to folk who get in the way in this town , but it\u2019s a storyline that looks like it\u2019s going to make hood sweat a bit .\nthe greatest threat to the survival of humankind is not co2 , ch4 , ww3 , the nwo or economic collapse -

he took the time to fabricate 72 fake humans and stuff them into the torpedoes ? all for when khan scans the torpedoes to see there are\npeople\nin them . but this completely ignores the fact that they have to open one up to find khan ' s crew member inside , specifically because they can ' t scan the torpedoes . it ' s also obvious that the author was working from an earlier version of the script than what made it into the movie . there ' s a lot of dialogue that changes a bunch of conversations between the characters , especially concerning khan towards the end of the film . the book also has thomas harewood as a visitor to the kelvin archive in london , when he actually worked there . i ' m pretty sure they wouldn ' t let a visitor onto the bottom level . there are a few other issues with the book , but on the whole , it ' s enjoyable .\nfirst and foremost the great darrell fancourt , just a year or two into the roles he would make his own and define . interestingly sounding lighter voiced than both his later deadeyes , and taking the upper alternative notes on ' ploughs the water ' at a time when these were not published in the vs . on his next recording he takes the low g , but reverts to the higher on his last rendition . i wish i could remember which he did on the only occasion i saw him play the part .\nit would have been far easier if spock could simply beam in and out with the ship\u2019s transporter . but while they could beam him into the volcano , it would be impossible to set him down on a safe , solid location . to do that would have required a preliminary visual fix : one they had neither the time nor the precise means to obtain . sometimes , despite the availability of the most advanced tech , nothing worked better than a pair of experienced eyes . . . and being directly on site .\nduring the whole of these several periods the many beautiful examples of fans produced in holland , italy , and spain may be easily recognized by the impress they bear of the art and style of those countries . all the finest skins , known as\nchicken - skin ,\nalthough the skin was kid ' s skin subject to peculiar treatment ( art lost since the time of louis xvi , when silk mounts came into fashion ) , were brought from italy . painted sticks also were in much favor for italian fans .\nnot that i was a gung ho patriot . i didn & apos ; t want to be inducted \u2014 i was drafted before we were at war \u2014 but it was unthinkable for me to admit my sexuality to anyone except a friend in the same leaky boat and i didn & apos ; t have such a friend until after i was in the army . my first year and a half in uniform , i went protectively numb . then i was put on detached service in new york and went hurling out into orbit .\ni have finally finished this almost 500 page boring crap , thanks to my cousin . expectations , expectations , i should seriously start lowering them . i went into this book expecting some badass , kickass action scenes with a strong heroine , but what i got was a boring ass long as fuck road trip story with some dun dun dun . when i think dystopian , this is what comes to my mind : \u2022evil government \u2022some sort of plague / disease \u2022group of teens that must take down the government \u2022some action \u2022butt kicking femal\nyes , uncle !

interesting to note that both of these film versions of the novel got mixed reviews when they came out . critics and audiences generally complained about a lack of accuracy to the book and overall entertainment level , though the 1974 adaption is generally considered a good historical costume movie . ok , then , let\u2019s compare the characters in the two great gatsby movies , head to head\u2026\nwhen a great book is turned into a film , lots of pedants ( including me ) immediately scrutinise the movie for deviations from the original . we regard the book as sacred , so the film

.\nbaz luhrmann took me by surprise four years ago when he confided over lunch that he intended to shoot \u201cthe great gatsby\u201d as his next movie \u2014 he explained that he had become obsessed with the \u201cgatsby\u201d story . i told him that i , too , admired the great f . scott fitzgerald novel but could never quite [ \u2026 ]\nmost people remember the 1974 version , starring robert redford , mia farrow and bruce dern , written by francis ford coppola the same year he wrote and directed \u201cthe conversation\u201d ( 1974 ) and \u201cthe godfather : part ii\u201d ( 1974 ) . \u201cgatsby\u201d seems small by comparison , living alone like hackman , but lacking pacino\u2019s ability to see the killer lurking behind blowing curtains . frankly , i\u2019m surprised at the number of folks holding up this \u201cgatsby\u201d as an untouchable classic . even coppola couldn\u2019t save the lack of chemistry between redford and farrow and the lack of imagination by director jack clayton .\nthe great gatsby is a standout novel that is brilliantly written with a simple story . this book adaptation captures the feel and tone of f . scott fitzgerald ' s classic work . i did enjoy the new version of the great gatsby , but i felt that this one was of course a superior film , a film that boasted some terrific performances and brilliant direction with wonderful storytelling . what makes the great gatsby such a great story is that it ' s a simple plot that is both poignant and dramatic , and these elements combine perfectly to create something quite wonderful . this is a superb picture , a film that is captivating from start to finish , and it ' s easily a classic . i really enjoyed the book , and it ' s one of my favorites as well , and with this adaptation , i felt that they managed to keep plenty of elements intact that has made the book so good . there are several great performances , and each actor brings something unique to the screen , which elevate the film significantly . if you ' ve enjoyed the book , then by all means , this adaptation is by far the best take on fitzgerald ' s material , and it ' s a film well worth your time if you ' ve enjoyed the book or if you ' re looking for a finely crafted drama with some fine performances . like i said , i did enjoy the current retelling of the great gatsby , and i do believe it ' s a bit underrated ; however , this is the film version to watch of f . scott fitzgerald ' s literary classic . give this film a shot , it ' s well worth your time , and it ' s a brilliantly acted and directed film that tells a great story .\nthe australian director ' s adaptation targets a younger generation who have never seen the 1974 version , which starred robert redford and mia farrow in the leading roles .\nleitch\u2019s piece is a good example of how this sort of misinformation can affect discussion of the film in question . expressing his displeasure with the news that baz lurhmann would be adapting fitzgerald\u2019s novel , leitch wrote : \u201cthe following three people worked on the script for the 1974 version of the great gatsby : francis ford coppola , philip roth , and vladimir nabokov . you\u2019re telling us that baz freaking lurhmann ' s the one who figured it out ? \u201d\nthe problem with the great gatsby in the united states is rather like the problem with brideshead revisited in england . people who film either story pick up , in each case , on the author\u2019s half - hidden attraction towards the excesses he depicts . what they miss is both his satirical and his tragic sense .\nthe film is faithful to the letter of f . scott fitzgerald ' s novel but entirely misses its spirit .\nsoundtrack . it makes the film infinitely more marketable , especially to the coveted younger crowds filling multiplexes this summer .\nexplain how the tension in james cameron ' s film ' titanic ' developed and contributed to the . . .\nthe film , which is not in competition at cannes

from a truly great novel ? i liked the recent anna karenina with keira knightley even if no one else did , but i wouldn\u2019t call it great . maybe the ice storm , if we\u2019re talking contemporary classics ? ( an oxymoron , but you know what i mean . ) generally , first - rank movies are built on pulpier foundations , like the godfather or gone with the wind or goldfinger .\nto paraphrase fitzgerald , luhrmann\u2019s gatsby dream seemed so close , but he did not know that it was already behind him . he believed in the flickering projector light , the orgastic film future that year by year recedes before us . it eluded us then , but that\u2019s no matter . tomorrow we will run faster , stretch out our arms farther , paint our pictures brighter . and so we beat on , gatsby film after gatsby film , boats against cinema\u2019s current , borne back ceaselessly into the past .\nthe sense of place is as pervasive as a character in \u201cmoss , \u201d a film by daniel peddle .\nfilmed for a mere $ 6 . 5 million \u2014 perhaps one - twentieth of the current film\u2019s budget \u2014 the film overcame its flaccid reviews and rolled up solid numbers at the box office . vincent canby of the new york times wrote that the film was \u201cas lifeless as a body that had been too long at the bottom of a swimming pool . \u201d\neven though the look and location of this house may have inspired f . scott fitzgerald , it was not used in the 1974 film starring robert redford and mia farrow , as jay gatsby and daisy buchanan . lands end would have served as inspiration for tom and daisy buchanan\u2019s house on east egg , where the \u201cold money\u201d lived .\nalso provided the dock with the flashing green light that gatsby is so obsessed with .\nroger ebert echoed similar sentiments with his assertion that\nclayton fails to give us a gatsby we care about .\nthese sentiments point to challenges within the acting in the film .\nand yet filmmakers continue to tackle the big ones , beating on like boats against the current ( or whatever ) ; enter baz luhrmann\u2019s the great gatsby , the marketing campaign for which is now careening down the turnpike like gatsby\u2019s \u201cgorgeous . . . monstrous\u201d cream - colored death car . but what of hollywood\u2019s most recent attempt to film fitzgerald\u2019s novel : the unloved 1974 version starring robert redford and mia farrow ? ( i\u2019m ignoring a tv version made in 2000 for a & e that starred the british actor toby stephens as gatsby , mira sorvino as daisy , and paul rudd\u2014 ! ! \u2014as nick carraway . )\nother critics echo these sentiments in various ways , making it safe to say the critical reception of 1974\u2019s the great gatsby was far less cordial than that of the novel . it\u2019s too early to say whether or not baz luhrmann\u2019s version will be held in a higher regard , but it\u2019s certainly safe to say he\u2019s not trodding on holy ground .\nthis hungarian film is a careful , compassionate and beautifully acted character drama with a social conscience .\nin the past seven days , i\u2019ve seen two film versions of the great gatsby : first i went to see baz luhrmann\u2019s cinematic spectacular ! \u2014i feel like every luhrmann film title should be prefaced with circus ring leader - esque embellishment\u2014in the theaters ( this is a big deal , guys , the last time i went to a movie theater it cost four dollars ) , and then my mom asked me if i wanted to watch the 1974 version starring robert redford and mia farrow . the two films are actually fascinating in contrast , and if anything each made me appreciated the other more .\nthis film has that classic feeling . even though it isn ' t as well received as you might believe , you could almost imagine this being a criterion release sort of film . the production design is one\u2026\nthe film will be something of a swansong for the 50 - year - old soderbergh , who has announced his retirement .\nyesterday , the mansion that likely inspired f . scott fitzgerald to write the great gatsby , in 1925 , was demolished . the possibility of demolition has had journalists and bloggers talking for a few months now .\nextract from 10 -

his - prime robert redford coming off his first academy award nomination for\nlook , neither of these movies are the definitive version of the great gatsby . that\u2019s still the book . on the colbert report , luhrmann said the difficulty in filming the great gatsby was capturing nick\u2019s inner monologue , but i have to disagree . movies are told from a single character\u2019s perspective all the time . no , what makes great gatsby adaptations difficult is that , like another one of my favorite books , jane eyre , it\u2019s about what the narrator\u2019s not seeing , all the stuff that happens off the page . it\u2019s not about the parties , it\u2019s about what built the parties . even worse , it\u2019s about what people don\u2019t want to see , because then the parties would stop .\nif f . scott fitzgerald had directed film . . . . . . . . . . .\ndoes he have the track record of a fincher , anderson ( wes or paul thomas ) , the coen brothers or other modern masters ? no . the great gatsby will be just his fifth feature , and only one of his previous four could be considered a masterpiece ( moulin rouge ! ) . i think even the most cynical luhrmann - basher , though , would admit he has the capabilities to make great films , and the attributes we\u2019ve seen him display so far line up perfectly with those needed to make a truly great gatsby .\nbaz luhrmann took me by surprise four years ago when he confided over lunch that he intended to shoot \u201c the great gatsby\u201d as his next movie \u2014 he explained that he had become obsessed with the \u201cgatsby\u201d story . i told him that i , too , admired the great f . scott fitzgerald novel but could never quite figure out its story \u2014 nor could the three directors who\u2019d made previous \u201cgatsbys . \u201d\nit\u2019s smart positioning ; i lived through paramount\u2019s 1974 effort to capture the \u201cgatsby\u201d magic \u2014 a project that turned out to be a new york fashion show in search of a movie . luhrmann clearly has a different \u201cgatsby\u201d in mind ( indeed , he built a period new york in australia ) .\nf . scott fitzgerald ' s classic novel is my favorite book of all time . it ' s been adapted for a summer release starring leonardo dicaprio , who i think is really miscast by the way . it doesn ' t help that i absolutely hate the director of the film . i ' m pretty worried for when the film comes out , but thankfully , the 1974 version seems like the most successful adaptation to date .\n[ video essay ] widely trashed by a cabal of critics who didn ' t know a good film when they saw it , jack clayton ' s 1974 rendition of f . scott fitzgerald ' s novel beautifully captures its romantic essence and caustic social indictments .\nfurther investigation shows the cracks in the film\u2019s seemingly - fine foundation . the two oscars it won were for costume design and music , and they were the only nominations the film received . coppola\u2014a staple of cinema and the oscars throughout the 1970s\u2014was nowhere to be found . redford was also missing from the nominations\u2019 list .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nbut it\u2019s the cinematic quality of the book that is exactly why we can\u2019t come up with a totally satisfactory gatsby movie , a great film to match the great book . because the fact of the matter is , fitzgerald\u2019s words paint the pictures and play the scenes so vividly that most readers have already seen the movie , in their heads . thanks to the skill of the prose , we\u2019ve already brought the story of gatsby and daisy to life , perfectly designed and impeccably cast and splendidly performed . and any movie version , hamstrung by unforgivable exclusions or peculiar additions or miscast actors or stylistic overindulgence , can only disappoint .\nit\u2019s hard to go too far off the rails with a story this true . it may not be a \u201cgreat\u201d gatsby , but it\u2019s at least a good gatsby , arguably better than the mediocre versions that preceded it and worth seeing if only to rediscover this powerful novel . as of 9 a . m . friday , \u201cgatsby\u201d was the top - selling ibook .\nhowever , the house that was chosen for the film as jay gatsby\u2019s mansion , was rosecliff , a mansion commissioned by nevada silver heiress theresa fair oelrichs , was completed in 1902 by architect stanford white .\ni think the film should have a golden look\u2026 i intend to keep going through the film a constant feeling of extreme heat\u2026 i want people to perspire all the time and i want even to see stains on people\u2019s dresses . it is a part of the story , the heat .\nan unexpected collaboration between joseph arthur and peter buck produces a great summer record of noisy , dark garage - pop .\nmore importantly , those who saw the film were less than ecstatic . it\u2019s metascore ( via metacritic . com ) comes in at 43 , implying mixed reviews ( but only three points away from being \u201cgenerally unfavorable\u201d ) . the great gatsby \u2019s tomatometer is a woeful 34 percent , and none of the \u201ctop critics\u201d give it a positive review .\njohn box production sketch for the pool at gatsby ' s mansion , c . 1972\nperhaps the oddest thing about the film is that it makes so little of the other subject of the book \u2013 america itself . it aspires to make a great american film of a great american novel , but does not locate itself observantly in the culture that fascinated and appalled fitzgerald . in the end , this is just a film about rich people behaving unpleasantly . secretly , it seems to me , it is surprisingly uncritical about that . it thinks that if you have enough waiters in tailcoats simultaneously opening french windows with a flourish , or carrying white telephones so that your boss can answer them by the swimming pool , you are being jolly stylish . it is crass .\nwe\u2019ve been cataloguing director jack clayton \u2019s papers since last year and they will soon be made available to researchers for the first time via the bfi reuben library . the scripts , letters , notes and other production papers that make up the archive offer fascinating insights into clayton\u2019s struggle to film f . scott fitzgerald\u2019s the great gatsby in 1974 \u2013 there had already been two previous attempts in 1926 and 1948 \u2013 and hints at why even the talents of robert redford , mia farrow and a script by francis ford coppola had trouble making it third time lucky .\nthis is surely no coincidence , being built in the same year and by the same architect as lands end . but , i do wonder why the production designer , john box , of the 1974 film chose not to , or was unable to use lands end . another oddity is that while lands end was in \u201ceast egg , \u201d jay gatsby lived in the nouveau riche \u201cwest egg . \u201d somehow , i think , the house chosen to portray gatsby\u2019s mansion would have been an even better replica of the buchanan mansion .\nluhrmann also ups the ante in depicting myrtle\u2019s car crash . the 1949 film cross - cuts the crash in a dated special effect collision , showing right away that it\u2019s daisy driving with gatsby in the passenger seat , missing an opportunity for the mystery of the driver . the 1974 version admirably keeps the mystery of the driver , but does so by avoiding the scene entirely , only showing the aftermath . now , luhrmann takes the best of both , showing the suspense of the crash in slow - motion horror , while maintaining the mystery of the driver by controlling what we see .\nif you choose to ignore all that or baz somehow botches the retelling , the misunderstood romance at the film\u2019s center should still resonate with lovelorn theater patrons everywhere .\ncritics praised how the novel stayed true to its novel roots , though said it lacked the passion and emotion of the 1920 ' s age which it set in . there is also a 2013 remake of the great gatsby , the study guide for which can be found here .\nleonardo dicaprio and his gatsby co - star carey mulligan on the red carpet at cannes .\nmy only casting quibble with the great gatsby 1974 is bruce dern as tom buchanan . he\u2019s supposed to be an former polo star , not necessarily burly , but sturdy and a strong contrast to gatsby . bruce dern isn\u2019t as typically handsome as redford ( at least here ) , but otherwise , dern\u2019s tom is just another guy in a tux . that said , his acting is top - notch , especially during the uncomfortable confrontations . those are straight from the book , and just as intense .\nthis list collects every film from the starting list that became they shoot pictures don ' t they ' s 1000 greatest films . this\u2026\nagain , just to be sure , i wrote to someone who would know , emailing authorized philip roth biographer blake bailey to ask if the novelist was involved with the 1974 film . \u201cactually it was roth who advised baz luhrmann to shoot it in 3 -

occupy gatsby .\nin addition to the non - period costuming , the 2013 great gatsby seems to think the audience is kind of stupid . everything must be spelled out in big , bold letters , underlined three times , with an exclamation point . not that anyone who\u2019s seen another baz luhrmann film might expect layered subtlety , but jayzuz , this great gatsby knocks you over the head with every point . nick carraway is telling the story with words . jay gatsby is magnetic but makes his money illegally . daisy is sad about her marriage . tom is a jerk and cheating on his wife . myrtle is a tramp who will end tragically . this movie hits you over the head with the plot again and again so much i got a headache .\nwith baz luhrmann ' s gatsby on the way , coppola tells how the last one came together on paper .\nwhen nick meets gatsby in his private office , the cord to the lamp on the desk changes location between shots . in shots facing gatsby , the cord goes from the lamp to the end of the desk to his right . in shots facing nick , the cord goes from the lamp to the side of the desk facing nick .\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\nthe 2013 version seems to be little more than an mtv music video complete . tries way too hard . the 1974 is not perfect but it\u2019s a lot better even though mia farrow can\u2019t act to save her life .\nnick is played by sam waterston in the 1974 version and tobey maguire in 2013 , and i swear to god they look exactly alike . seriously . are they related ? because they definitely could be .\nthe great gatsby is narrated by nick carraway , neighbor to jay gatsby , a wealthy businessman who is known for the extravagant parties he throws . nick becomes enamored with the lavish life gatsby leads , seeking to decode his personality and lifestyle . nick gradually begins to realize there is much more beneath gatsby ' s successful , confident exterior , revealing a complicated past and secret love for daisy buchanan , nick ' s cousin who is married to tom buchanan . throughout the movie , nick observes the events and complex relationships of the socialites , and becomes deeply entrenched in their matters .\nmarlon brando turned down the role of jay gatsby because producers would not submit to his salary demands .\nq : in the great gatsby ( 1949 ) did alan ladd wear lifts or stand on raised platforms to increase his height ? he appears to be a similar height to other male characters but we know he was very small in real life .\nwilson who believes redford has run over black on the road when it was actually farrow . the film is really a disgrace to fitzgerald ' s wonderful novel . director clayton was all wrong for this film , a british helmsman whose sole thrust was to cover the story with a heavy blanket of hot jazz , bootleg\nalthough the picture chokes a bit in the clutch ( you don\u2019t wanna know what luhrmann does with 3d in that auto accident scene ) , truth be told , this may well be the best gatsby adaptation we\u2019ve yet had . but that\u2019s rather a low bar , and the fact that a film with this many problems is still at the top of the heap speaks volumes about the trouble with making a good gatsby movie .\npal is a sponsor of the upcoming ri preservation celebration & rhody awards being held at rosecliff in newport , rhode island on sunday october 16 , 2016 from 4 : 00 -

known are undoubtedly the 1974 movie directed by jack clayton and the 2013 movie directed by baz luhrmann . pour yourself a cocktail , slip into something more comfortable , and let\u2019s compare the two films , shall we ?\ni usually haven\u2019t liked dicaprio until he got older & out grew his baby faced looks . the great gatsby is one hell of a depressing story , even tho i\u2019m a sucker for depressing period pieces a la anna karenina , wuthering heights , etc .\nas for the 2013 gatsby , i\u2019d forgotten that luhrmann\u2019s films always overwhelm me when i first see them . i left the theater with a massive headache and a general reaction of \u201cmeh , \u201d but i\u2019ll probably like it more when i rewatch it . and it does have its redeeming qualities , especially in comparison to the 1974 version .\nnick\u2019s reaction to gatsby the man echoes my reaction to \u201cgatsby\u201d the movie , \u201crepresenting everything for which i have an unaffected scorn ( style over substance ) , but ( the film ) turned out alright in the end , it\u2019s what preyed on ( luhrmann ) , what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams ( pomp , circumstance , 3d glasses ) , that temporarily turned out my interest . \u201d\nthe film won oscars for costume ( theoni v . aldredge ) and music ( nelson riddle ) and did well at the box office , but critical reaction on both sides of the atlantic was mixed . there was praise for clayton\u2019s direction , for his actors and for the film\u2019s exquisite \u2018look\u2019 , but it was widely felt there was just something missing .\nthat\u2019s why , even though clayton and coppola made more of an effort to turn the great gatsby into an actual movie , it winds up being boring , because the meaning of the book isn\u2019t in it . despite luhrmann\u2019s comment , i think he does he understand what the book is about ; and even though his version feels at times more like a recreation of the novel than a film adaptation of it , i can appreciate that he tried to show the things that are only alluded to in the book . i loved how he preserved the absolute awkwardness of the novel and , even though the line about daisy\u2019s voice sounding like money isn\u2019t in the film , luhrmann shows us that gatsby doesn\u2019t just want daisy . he wants daisy , and the house , and the car , and the pool , and the shirts . so many shirts ! and daisy damn well knows it .\nit ' s hard to adapt a novel as fantastic and classic as the great gatsby . there ' s so much to analyze in that novel , as my grade 12 english class showed me , and it ' s just so much fun to do so .\nthe great gatsby is a clunky adaptation of f . scott fitzgerald ' s classic high school reading list novel that really lacks any sort of inspiration . though handsomely shot with excellent costume design , while capturing the extravagance of gatsby ' s lifestyle , as well as nicely handling its portrayal of high society and the green light , there are flaws here . from being stodgily paced and being over - written , as well as some sketchy acting , jack clayton ' s take on the great gatsby lacks the impact that the novel has and , as a result , is largely quite dull to watch unfold and feels simultaneously rushed and too drawn out . this is an odd feeling and the end result is an odd\u2026\ndirector jack clayton seems overawed by the opulence of the production as well as by the mythic presence of fitzgerald - - and the result is a film of shimmering surface brilliance and almost complete lack of focus or substance .\nanywho , i think we all know baz luhrmann can direct a party . but i have to disagree with kit ( from her post am i the only person on the internet who liked the great gatsby movie ? ) that he nailed the party scenes here . they seemed more disneyland than debauchery . although the party scenes in the 1974 version weren\u2019t a spectacle by any stretch of the imagination , i could believe the people in them were actually partying . they were very nights - at - max\u2019s - kansas - city . like i said , no one\u2019s jumping into a pool , but they were convincingly bacchanal .\n[ the film ] moves spaniel - like through f . scott fitzgerald\u2019s text , sniffing and staring at events and objects very close up with wide , mopey . . .\nthis is the best movie of gatsby . i use it in my teaching and it correctly portrays the characters and the time period that fitzgerald wrote about .\nbeyond casting or direction , the 1974 film\u2019s biggest fault lies in treating gatsby as a grand , doomed romance when the novel is really a shrewd , streamlined near satire about a group of characters who are either nasty pieces of work or foolish or both . it\u2019s wised up and funny and tough , more neil labute than nicholas sparks . true , there\u2019s a bruised heart at the bottom of it all , but it\u2019s fitzgerald\u2019s , not gatsby\u2019s ; the tragedy is almost outside the story , in inference . francis coppola , then at the height of his powers , is credited with the screenplay , but he and the former paramount executive peter bart both say his script was paved over during the shoot ; i\u2019d love to read the original someday and see what he really made of the book .\nfrom hollywood\u2019s point of view , the great gatsby might be as emptily , ruinously alluring as the title character\u2019s parties . it\u2019s got a great setting , big emotions , bad behavior , and a lurid ending , but its essence might be unfilmable , or at least uncommerical . i like baz luhrmann\u2019s films , but i wonder if the director of romeo + juliet and moulin rouge ! will capture the anti - romantic shiver at the heart of gatsby\u2019s romance . judging from the trailer , he seems to be going for something pop - operatic , which doesn\u2019t bode well . frankly , i\u2019m also worried about dicaprio\u2019s accent\u2014and more acutely , his \u201cold sports . \u201d\n\u201cthe great gatsby\u201d was published , on april 10 , 1925 , f . scott fitzgerald , living high in france after his early success , cabled max perkins , his editor at scribners , and demanded to know if the news was good . mostly , it was not . the book received some reviews that were dismissive ( \u201c\nin roger ebert\u2019s two - and - a - half star critique , the late legend says the great gatsby is \u201ca superficially beautiful hunk of a movie with nothing much in common with the spirit of f . scott fitzgerald\u2019s novel . \u201d vincent canby of the new york times writes , \u201cnothing . . . comes close to catching the spirit of fitzgerald\u2019s impatient brilliance . \u201d\ni probably first saw this version soon after reading the great gatsby in high school , and i\u2019ve seen the movie a few times since . when i realized it was on netflix , i had to watch this gatsby again ( a few times ) because it so perfectly captures the novel , the language , the mood , everything . also , it\u2019s vintage robert redford at his dreamiest ( and he\u2019s not usually my type ! but damn , those blue eyes ! ) .\nthe 1974 film , like the new one , arrived amid a gusher of hype , especially surrounding the genuinely gorgeous costumes , designed by theoni v . aldredge ( who won an oscar ) , with assistance from then tyro ralph lauren . a paramount marketing executive bragged that \u201cthe entire country will be gatsby - ized . \u201d and it might have been , but then the movie itself was released . like many films that are extravagantly promoted , it did well enough at the box office , though no one was particularly enthusiastic about it\u2014critics or audiences . vincent canby , writing in the new york times , offered a pretty good summary :\nclayton admired fitzgerald , but felt the great gatsby had some flaws in its dramatic construction . he thought truman capote\u2019s first draft screenplay \u2013 by faithfully adhering to the book \u2013 was overlong and needed variety of pace . it lacked detail about daisy and gatsby\u2019s past relationship and crammed too much action into its final pages . \u201cit is like a great fish that is all head and no tail\u201d , he told capote in his notes . capote was replaced by francis ford coppola \u2013 who had already won a screenwriting oscar for patton ( 1969 ) and was about to release his directorial masterpiece the godfather ( 1972 ) .\nwhat is the most reliably unfilmable novel of the 20th century ? some might argue for joyce ' s ulysses , or nabokov ' s pale fire ; pynchon ' s the crying of lot 49 or burroughs ' the naked lunch ( although cronenberg made a decent fist of that one ) . me , i ' m tempted to go for the great gatsby , if only because it looks so straightforward , so reassuringly high concept when it is actually a fiendish will - o - the - wisp ; a deadly honey - trap for all but the shrewdest , most sensitive film - maker .\nat its heart , the great gatsby is a ruthless attack on materialism and corruption brought on by devotion to the almighty dollar . anyone thinking these inapplicable to modern day american living isn\u2019t taking part in it . gatsby\u2019s gaudy get - togethers will never appear as wasteful or hollow , while his misunderstanding of requisite social conventions will be more endearing than ever . the divisions between his new , illegitimate money and the buchanans\u2019 old , inherited wealth should spark vital conversation about the distribution of wealth today .\nluhrmann ' s gatsby has left critics in the united states and britain divided on whether it amounts to inspiration or a turkey .\nover the many months leading up to this week\u2019s release of baz luhrmann\u2019s hotly - anticipated literary adaptation of the great gatsby , much has been made about the anticipated accommodations , additions , and outright alterations to f . scott fitzgerald\u2019s classic story . has mr . luhrmann\u2019s obsession with modernization gone awry , or is he aptly adjusting an 88 - year - old book ( and a 39 - year - old film ) for the very different expectations of today\u2019s audiences ? we won\u2019t know for sure until friday , but here\u2019s why at least one writer thinks he\u2019s the perfect man for the job .\nnick carraway , a young midwesterner now living on long island , finds himself fascinated by the mysterious past and lavish lifestyle of his neighbor , the nouveau riche jay gatsby . he is drawn into gatsby ' s circle , becoming a witness to obsession and tragedy .\nnick carraway , a young midwesterner now living on long island , finds himself fascinated by the mysterious past and lavish lifetyle of his landlord , the nouveau riche jay gatsby . he is drawn into gatsby ' s circle , becoming a witness to obsession and tragedy .\nwhat is it that makes gatsby such a difficult book to adapt ? part of the problem , i suppose , is the old tone - and - content conundrum : the task of marrying the author ' s cool , refined style with his wild , ritzy settings . the most obvious hurdle , however , is gatsby himself .\ndirector reportedly worked on the script . the film cost $ 13 million to produce and vanished with box office receipts that barely inched over the break - even point . winner of two academy awards : best scoring and best costume design .\nso what of this 3d fourth screen version of the great gatsby ? it is , you might say , a story of three eggs . the mysterious central character is the self -

ss foreign volunteers ) . \u201d\ni\u2019ve always been fascinated by the fact that here was a relatively small country that from a strictly military point of view accomplished incredible things . i mean , they took over most of europe and russia , and it really took the combined effort of the free world to defeat them . from a purely historical military point of view , that\u2019s incredible .\nrecent events have ignited passions in this country surrounding the civil war and the symbols representing it ,\ncity officials said in a press release , opting to shut down the event for the safety of residents , visitors and re - enactors .\nthe fort mchenry guard is nationally significant . they reenact the battle of baltimore that occurred in the summer of 1816 , which inspired the star spangled banner . visitors can come and see the everyday activities of 19 th century citizens in the fort , watch the battle reenactment , learn historical interpretations of the events , and watch demonstrations . sponsored by the national parks service , the reenactors are carefully selected to provide a window into our nation\u2019s past .\nbut regarding the question whether or not the waffen s . s . was \u201celite\u201d unit , at least in terms of fighting skills compared to the wehrmacht , the answer was probably not . and that became increasingly the case as the war went on .\nwhat happened in ( charlottesville ) virginia is that you had morons of the modern - day ( ku klux ) klan associated with neo - nazis , neither of which have anything to do with civil war re - enacting ,\nhe said .\nthe fort norfolk garrison works to educate the public about the war of 1812 . consisting primarily of two family - friendly units , this unit is set on authenticity . depending on the level of membership a certain reenactor has , he must be willing to abide by authenticity standards to ensure that reenactments done by the unit are as authentic and realistic as possible . we had to include them on our list because of their dedication to authenticity and providing the public with an accurate depiction of the war of 1812 .\nin order to form the defensive flank , i got a second unit an s . s . battalion , that is , it wasn\u2019t much more than a glorified company . the company consisted of about a hundred and seventy - five men , a few heavy machine guns and two mortars . there was one hauptsturmfuehrer von benden , a grand fellow who had also been in the world war . these fellows had been acting as a protective division in the rear and had engaged guerrillas . they were then withdrawn and sent up to the front . i gave them orders to take the village of volchanka ( ? ) .\nrabbi moshe saks , of the congregation b ' nai israel in sylvania , ohio , a suburb of toledo that sits in the 9th district , disagreed .\nany kind of reenactment or glorification of nazi germany , to us , would be something unacceptable and certainly in poor taste , if not offensive ,\nhe said .\ni think the reaction here will be very negative . and not just among the jewish community , but the broader community .\nthe santiago campaign ninth infantry re - enactors , c - company , are dedicated to bringing the spanish - american war to life . they use period - accurate clothing , weapons , and maneuvers to educate the public on this crucial chapter of american history .\nmr . kruger\u2019s former commander wrote that the officer should have known that a plaque honoring \u201ca waffen ss member and the commander of a battalion responsible for a large - scale massacre of prisoners of war could alarm a member of the public familiar with these historical events . \u201d\nchristopher browning , a professor of history at the university of north carolina - chapel hill , said ,\nit is so unhistorical and so apologetic that you don ' t know to what degree they ' ve simply caught up innocent war memorabilia enthusiasts who love putting on uniforms .\nregular army soldiers would also single out the waffen s . s . for atrocities . but in some cases , the regular soldiers appeared to be trying to distance themselves \u2014 and the wehrmacht \u2014 from war crimes which were pervasive on the eastern front and in which they were complicit .\ncurrie likened the controversy to holding a civil war re - enactment that glorified confederate maj . gen . nathan bedford forrest , whose troops in april 1864 massacred surrendering black union soldiers at fort pillow in henning , tenn . forrest later became the ku klux klan\u2019s first grand wizard , he noted .\nthe cumberland plough boys , sons of confederate veterans , is a unique organization . membership is open to male descendants of veterans who served with honor in the confederate forces during the civil war . members receive many benefits , including participation in organization events , a confederate veteran magazine subscription , and more .\n\u201cany person or political group who believes there is some bizarre hidden nazi agenda by reenactors is not only ignorant of the facts but using false representation to foster their own political ambition and beneath contempt . would these same accusers point a finger at civil war confederate reenactors and say they are all racially prejudiced ? \u201d\niott , a member of the ohio military reserve , added ,\ni ' ve always been fascinated by the fact that here was a relatively small country that from a strictly military point of view accomplished incredible things . i mean , they took over most of europe and russia , and it really took the combined effort of the free world to defeat them . from a purely historical military point of view , that ' s incredible .\nthe annual wwii reenactment held at buckley homestead in lowell indiana is an amazing living history event . reenactors recreate wwii american gi ' s , german soldiers , us marines , russian soldiers and more . it ' s one of the best wwii reenactments in the mid -

enacting is living theater , not promotion of moronic causes . we are not a political entity . we ' re outdoor theater , that ' s all we are .\nas soldiers died , were wounded or taken prisoner , the waffen s . s . loosened recruitment standards from the much stricter requirements earlier in the war . there\u2019s also no evidence the s . s . , in general , took higher casualties than the wehrmacht \u2014 perhaps reflecting the regular army\u2019s bias . although the allies captured fewer s . s . prisoners .\nstill , a few reenactors grumble that while ss guys may not adhere to the insidious ideology that led to mass extermination of jews and the deadliest war in the history of human civilization , they nevertheless reflect that less - than - congenial nazi personality . as an example , rival reenactors note that their ss counterparts often refuse to play dead when they\u2019re shot during tactical contests .\nthere are , of course , cultural boundaries that we felt we needed to respect ,\nhe adds ,\nand we also wanted to be authentic in our approach to game design . it\u2019s a fine balance of not glorifying the symbolism , while also not ignoring or shying away from this dark moment in human history . there\u2019s certainly a line that we are very conscious not to cross , while still honoring the sacrifice of those who fought to push back the world from the brink of tyranny . in short , it ' s not something we take lightly .\nthe national civil war association is dedicated to \u201ckeeping history alive by living it ! \u201d the ncwa reenacts the famous battles of the eastern front , as well as the lesser - known conflict in the pacific theater , which was instrumental in directing the development of california . the ncwa welcomes new members , and it offers individuals , couples , and families the option of attending one event for free as new members .\nthe great war association seeks to recreate the sights and sounds of \u201cthe 20 th century\u2019s most significant conflict . \u201d on a 100 - acre site near newville , pa , the gwa has created an accurate representation of the western front as it was c . 1917 - 1918\u2014complete with trenches and a bombed - out no - man\u2019s land . clothing , food , trenches , and more\u2014this experience is totally immersive to the time period .\nthe royal sussex living history group was founded by john a baines ( 1952 - 2012 ) . though he has passed on , the group continues his work in educating the public about the experience of the great war . specifically , the group demonstrates what it was like to serve in the royal sussex regiment . the group will hold a centenary 100 th anniversary commemoration on june 30 , 2016 , at 17 : 00 hours .\nthose last letters stand for adolf hitler , for whom that unit was formed in 1933 to serve as his personal bodyguard , said currie , a military historian . soldiers with the ss ( or schutzstaffel , which is german for \u201cprotection squadron\u201d ) rounded up jews in berlin and sent them to death camps ; killed nearly 100 american prisoners in malmedy , belgium , in 1944 ; and murdered about 5 , 000 russian prisoners of war , he said .\npeople are also visual learners . a demonstration of a period trade or military tactic will be easier to understand than reading a book or article on the same topic . doing these things correctly is also the best way to combat the ( sadly more common ) incorrect portrayals usually seen in tv and the movies . if most rev war historians seem to have an unhealthy obsession with the patriot , it ' s because that movie enshrined every dumb myth about the revolution to a huge audience .\nmultiplayer , however , is another beast altogether . in both competitive multiplayer and zombies mode , the swastika was left out . in many ways , sledgehammer has ditched historical accuracy and created something that they view as accessible to everyone , with the horrors of that specific war - - - and the nazi ' s fascist , racist regime - - - left out altogether . it ' s an interesting approach , and a tricky decision to make . but condrey says there were several deciding factors .\nbut few reenactors face the kind of social stigma suffered by those who join the infamous waffen - ss . considered to be the best of the best of hitler\u2019s ground troops\u0097a dubious distinction if there ever was one\u0097the waffen - ss had special weapons , uniforms , privileges , and , most of all , expectations . at the end of the war , it had 600 , 000 soldiers in its ranks . the waffen - ss was part of the nazi party and was more ideologically driven than the wehrmacht .\nbut mendonsa wasn ' t so sure . a friend of his recognised the sailor ' s picture on the iconic cover but mendonsa took some convincing . ' he says ,\ni know it ' s you ,\n' mendonsa said . ' i said ,\nyou ' re crazy !\nthis was 1980 , 35 years after the war ended . . . . so he brought the magazine over to the house and , the minute i looked at it , i said ,\ndamn . that is me !\n'\nand maybe it ' s just my biases , but some groups of reenactors are more prone to transmitting myths than others . civil war confederate reenactors often know a shit ton about uniforms , supplies , food ( or lack thereof ) etc , but they aren ' t going to be quoting\nthe fall of the house of dixie\nor indeed , acknowledging the centrality of slavery at all . the less said about wwii germans , the better ( by my experience , few of them - seem - to be nazis , but the ' good german ' wehrmacht soldier myth is repeated ad infinitum ) .\nthanks for the massive generalization of something i do . yeah , ss reenactors can be a bit weird and some are closet nazis , but a huge majority of us ( german reenactors ) understand that the german military ( all branches ) engaged in war crimes , even by the standards of the time . part of what we do is understand how otherwise reasonable people get to the point where they were willing to destroy whole villages full of people . it is wrong to paint them as monsters , because it over simplifies what happened , allowing us to fool ourselves into thinking that\nit could never happen here .\ni mentioned aspects of daily life rather deliberately - - accurate clothes can show a lot about what a time ' looked like ' ( no , not everyone in medieval england wore brown ) , and foods can really hilight the differences between life in the past and the present ( heavily spiced medieval foods vs . subtler modern flavors ) . i think this is the biggest strength - - the little things . but keep in mind that a lot of people going to reenactments are tourists who have little inclination to pick up a work of academic history , and may never have read a word about the war of 1812 since high school . what i say about the american navy in 1812 to a passerby might be the only thing they ever hear about it ."]}

( hide spoiler ) ]\nyes , they do shine ,\nsaid karen . they fitted her , and were bought . but the old lady knew nothing of their being red , for she would never have allowed karen to be confirmed in red shoes , as she was now to be .\nand all the people inside looked at karen ' s red shoes , and all the figures gazed at them ; when karen knelt before the altar and put the golden goblet to her mouth , she thought only of the red shoes . it seemed to her as though they were swimming about in the goblet , and she forgot to sing the psalm , forgot to say the\nlord ' s prayer .\none day the queen was travelling through that part of the country , and had her little daughter , who was a princess , with her . all the people , amongst them karen too , streamed towards the castle , where the little princess , in fine white clothes , stood before the window and allowed herself to be stared at . she wore neither a train nor a golden crown , but beautiful red morocco shoes ; they were indeed much finer than those which the shoemaker ' s wife had sewn for little karen . there is really nothing in the world that can be compared to red shoes !\na most unusual combination of classic italian red bitter liqueur , bianco vermouth , cr\u00e8me de menthe and lager combine brilliantly in this refreshing aperitif .\nmercy !\ncried karen . but she did not hear what the angel answered , for the shoes carried her through the gate into the fields , along highways and byways , and unceasingly she had to dance .\nkaren received the shoes and wore them for the first time on the day of her mother ' s funeral . they were certainly not suitable for mourning ;

but karen thought only of her red shoes . in the afternoon the old lady heard from everybody that karen had worn red shoes . she said that it was a shocking thing to do , that it was very improper , and that karen was always to go to church in future in black shoes , even if they were old .\nat the church door stood an old crippled soldier leaning on a crutch ; he had a wonderfully long beard , more red than white , and he bowed down to the ground and asked the old lady whether he might wipe her shoes . then karen put out her little foot too .\ni don ' t think clockwork angel is the most horrible book which i have ever read - - it isn ' t , the action scenes and part of the plots are enjoyable to an extent . but oh boy , clare ' s writing and her characters annoy me , the book as a whole annoys the freaking hell out of me , here ' re the reasons :\nnow the old lady fell ill , and it was said that she would not rise from her bed again . she had to be nursed and waited upon , and this was no one ' s duty more than karen ' s . but there was a grand ball in the town , and karen was invited . she looked at the red shoes , saying to herself that there was no sin in doing that ; she put the red shoes on , thinking there was no harm in that either ; and then she went to the ball ; and commenced to dance .\nbut when she wanted to go to the right , the shoes danced to the left , and when she wanted to dance up the room , the shoes danced down the room , down the stairs through the street , and out through the gates of the town . she danced , and was obliged to dance , far out into the dark wood . suddenly something shone up among the trees , and she believed it was the moon , for it was a face . but it was the old soldier with the red beard ;

off from budesh - - dawood spent over rs 5 million for his brother ' s release . similarly , abu salem ' s month - long incarceration at the uae ' s al - rafa detention centre following the gulshan kumar killing last year , was said to be budesh ' s handiwork .\n\u201cthis is my second short film , and i wanted to try and make it non - linear , as that is not a concept which has been explored often in this format . despite our limitations , the film has been shot in as professional a manner as possible , \u201d says 23 - year - old anand , who has also penned the dialogue for the film and is now working as an assistant to sajid yahiya in his upcoming film idi - inspector dawood ibrahim .\na title which made a wave in the social media\nidi\ninspector davood ibrahim , the movie is all set to start shooting . the movie is expected to start rolling from this september . asif ali is the hero in the movie . correctly the actor is working in the movie kohinoor and after that\nidi\nwill start .\nibrahim ' s association , it is said , helped him learn the ropes in the world of crime . but budesh fell out with his mentor and went on to lead the latter ' s foes against him . ibrahim ' s rivals became budesh ' s friends , including vasai - virar ' s dreaded goon , subhash singh thakur , who is currently lodged in new delhi ' s tihar central prison . another former ibrahim aide , dilawar khan , became budesh ' s man friday . the gangster ' s new alliances have succeeded in causing major upsets to ibrahim ' s declining empire .\nas per early reports from kerala , both jayasurya films , pretham and inspector dawood ibrahim opened to very good reports at the box office . a good opening for both films was always on the cards as their trailers were hits . pretham is an out and out horror comedy , which also marks the third collaboration of director ranjith sankar and jayasurya after successful films punyalan agarbattis and su . . su . . sudhi vathmeekam . the film has been praised for its good comedy and jayasurya ' s performance as a talented mentalist .\n\u2018idi , \u2019 the sound of the movie title itself gives a big - bang effect , and the khaki - movie is sure to keep your spirits high . the season of high - action police movies has bounced back along with new talents , and this time jayasurya is the lead for idi aka inspector dawood ibrahim which is directed by debutant director sajid yahiya . the movie was originally planned to be directed by sajid yahiya and arouz irfan together . but arouz stepped back to writing the screenplay , leaving the direction completely to sajid .\nthe second jayasurya - starrer of the day , idi , stars the national - award winning actor in a never - seen - before avatar as inspector dawood ibrahim . the film marks the directorial debut of actor sajid yahiya . like pretham , idi is also carrying positive reports , thanks to the ' mass - content ' with all the commercial trappings , including top action scenes and excellent comedy . however , it can ' t be denied that releasing two films of a profitable actor like jayasurya on the same day could have been avoided .\nidi in the title stands for inspector dawood ibrahim and this is his story , with the character played by jayasurya . though from a wealthy family , all dawood desires is to become an honest cop and succeeds in becoming an inspector after some struggle . he gets posted at the remote kollanahalli , a place near the kerala - karnataka border . what he expects in his capacity as a police officer is blazes and guns . his time there as the inspector is what the movie is all about . the movie doesn\u2019t have much of a plot and the story line is very thin . what is different is the treatment given to it . clich\u00e9d and formulistic sequences are given a boot . but again , \u2018idi\u2019 is not really a satire as there is a steady does of high end heroism . jayasurya does look good in those and this is perhaps the first time that he is doing something like this . the weekend was his , with two of his films releasing . on the other side , the cast including joju george , gokulan and sudhhy kopa were funny . saiju kuruppu and sunil sukhada were impressive . sshivada did not have much to do , but had ample screen presence .\nit has been over half a decade since the last reliable public sighting of dawood ibrahim , the closest we have in the world to a real - life ernst blofeld , james bond ' s fictional nemesis . but despite this vanishing act , mr . ibrahim ' s myriad commercial enterprises continue to flourish . it is a testament both to his business acumen and the loyalty he generates that he still controls the largest criminal operation in india , despite having not set foot there a quarter of a century .\nyet his affection for bombay did not prevent ibrahim from becoming involved in a terrorist attack that struck the city in march 1993 . indian authorities say ibrahim used his network to smuggle a huge amount of explosives and other weapons into the city for a series of deadly bomb and grenade attacks , which resulted in 257 deaths and almost 1 , 500 injured . according to indian authorities , ibrahim agreed to participate in retaliation for a series of anti - muslim riots and atrocities in bombay and other parts of the country .\nfor now , ibrahim must remain in hiding - - and the d - company is likely to remain one of the world ' s most impressive business and commercial networks .\nreveals a deputy inspector general of police in bombay . budesh ' s targets are builders , diamond merchants and film people . his demands from builders include an annual ' fee ' or a few flats in their projects . from diamond merchants , he seeks deposits in numbered accounts in swiss banks . however , film folk remain the biggest contributors to budesh ' s coffers , as they were in ibrahim ' s heyday .\nhe had backed pakistan to win all four of their games . but a rival consortium had paid key players so that pakistan would win their first two matches , then lose the others . dawood and his associates stood to lose millions of pounds . ' cancel the bets , ' dawood barked . his visitors looked crestfallen . they told him that if they did that their reputations would be ruined and they would go bankrupt . this was last april , and the cricket world cup - an opportunity to earn serious money , they argued - was starting a month later in england . but dawood barely listened .\nidi narrates the story of a person named dawood ibrahim , whose dream since his childhood days , has been to become a police officer . the character who is fascinated by police roles seen in films , decides to take up the job against the wishes of his family . he gets posted to a place called kollanahallu near kerala - karnataka border and what happens rest forms the crux of the story .\nalthough unseen , ibrahim ' s whereabouts are no great mystery . if you ask a karachi taxi driver to show you the highlights of his city , he will happily drive you past\nthe white house\nin the fashionable district of clifton , where\nthe don of bombay\nlives . in its latest most wanted posting on ibrahim , interpol even gave this as his address .\nhe gets his first posting as a sub inspector in kollanahalli , a sleepy village in the kerala - karnataka border . and as we are aware by now , from all those movies that have been set in the area , there is no rule of law in these territories .\nthe five men from bombay sweated nervously as their plane passed over the arabian sea en route to dubai . they did not relish the task ahead : pleading for mercy from one of the most merciless figures in the violent and lucrative vortex of asian sports betting . dawood ibrahim , godfather of a criminal underworld whose corruption threatens to destroy the integrity of cricket worldwide , was not going to like what his associates had to say .\n' do it or die , ' he insisted , before abruptly ending the meeting . the violence of dawood ' s gang , known as d company , is notorious . hours later hundreds of thousands of bets were suddenly cancelled .\nsenior inspector inmadar of bombay police ' s special unit targeting bookies likens sports betting to a huge pyramid . ' at the bottom you have a vast number of people betting a vast sum of money . at the apex you have very few people and a vast sum , ' he says .\na natural leader , by his late teens ibrahim had created d - company . he was charged with murder as a result of his audacious bid to destroy the near monopoly enjoyed in the underworld by the competing lala clan . d - company emerged victorious after an intense period of blood - letting , but ibrahim was forced to flee his beloved bombay , and by all accounts he has never overcome his melancholy at leaving .\nthe five bookmakers explained the problem to dawood , the man nicknamed the ' dubai don ' . he had been out - bribed in his attempt to profit from the triangular champions cup tournament in the desert state of sharjah between india , pakistan and england .\ntill last year , bombayites were familiar with names like dawood ibrahim , arun gawli , chhota rajan and ashwin naik who - - sometimes in league with each other and most often against - - divided the city ' s riches among themselves . however , with the murder of builder natwarlal desai at nariman point on august 18 last year , for which budesh owned up responsibility from his bahraini hideout in a television interview , it looks like bombay ' s ongoing turf war will get more intense .\nthe film has been produced by dr ajas ibrahim and arun under the banner of magic lantern productions and eros international . idi , which is touted to be an out - and - out mass entertainer , has been jointly written by sajid yahiya and arous irfan .\nibrahim , a muslim raised in bombay , was forced to flee his hometown on murder charges in 1984 . he spent the next the two decades living the high life in dubai . but in 2003 , the dramatic assassination of one of his associates in the lobby of dubai ' s swanky india club proved the last straw for emirati authorities . already under international pressure to do something about a top criminal with links to terrorism , dubai discreetly suggested to mr . ibrahim that it was time to end his luxury exile in the gulf .\nand since then , nothing . ibrahim was not even spotted when dubai ' s hyatt hotel hosted the reception for his daughter ' s marriage to the son of javed miandan , the legendary former captain of the pakistani national cricket team . this was the celebrity event of the decade for high society from all around the arabian sea . but despite dozens of paparazzi , covert journalists and a coachload of international intelligence agents , ibrahim was nowhere to be seen ( in fact , he watched the event via a video - conferencing facility ) .\nin the sajid yahiya directorial movie , jayasurya plays the title role of a sub - inspector , who worked hard to become a cop . soon he realises the struggles of a police officer and how he faces the pressures and duties assigned to him is said to be the gist of the action thriller , which also has comedy elements in it . the film marks the reunion of jayasurya and sshivada nair after the superhit family entertainer\nsu su sudhi vathmeekam .\nidi ,\nwhich is co - produced by eros international in association with magic lantern headed by dr . ajaz ibrahim and arun , also has joju george and sunil sukhada in significant roles .\nthe story follows dawood , who wishes to don the cop uniform right from his childhood . he grows up to be a straight - laced , passionate policeman , who is sent off to a sleepy border suburb kollanahalli for his first posting . an unexpected turn of events presents him an opportunity to prove himself .\nwashington \u2013 the u . s . department of the treasury today announced the designation of two indian nationals and one entity in pakistan as specially designated narcotics traffickers pursuant to the foreign narcotics kingpin designation act ( kingpin act ) due to their ties to d company , a south asian criminal organization led by dawood ibrahim . as a result of today ' s action , all assets of those designated that are based in the united states or are in the control of u . s . persons are frozen , and u . s . persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them .\nthe young scriptwriter said he didn\u2019t aim to bring in a superstar for the role . \u201cwe didn\u2019t start the film considering the artiste ; we only had a character developed in our mind . there are different shades to the character . the story is about a man named dawood ibrahim and the movie shows the life of the character from his birth to a turning point as he grows up . to show this , we wanted someone who didn\u2019t have the weight of an image . son we approached jayasoorya . he heard the story , was convinced and he responded very positively . that\u2019s how things became easier , \u201d explains arouz .\nactor sajid yahiya is all set to make his directorial debut with idi \u2013 inspector dawood ibrahim . he , along with arouz irfan , who also makes his directorial debut , has scripted the film and the duo will direct the film . the lead actor , however , is a \u2018secret\u2019 which will be revealed in a couple of months , says sajid . \u201cthe film , \u201d he says , \u201cwill be a fun -

~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ -\nby contrast , ibrahim ' s businesses in the legitimate world are flourishing , helped chiefly by a continuing boom in parts of india ' s construction industry , where he holds significant interests through a series of front men and front companies . several of the vast shopping malls and multiplex cinemas that follow indian boom towns have been financed and built by businesses with covert links to d - company , according to indian and foreign intelligence services . ibrahim ' s role in financing bollywood movies , a particular passion of his second - in - command , chota shakheel , has also been ramped up in recent years .\nthe incident , recounted here for the first time , illustrates the power of the men who run a racket that starts with poor punters waging small sums in backstreet gambling dens across asia , ends with big - name cricketers throwing matches for cash and makes fortunes for those with the right information and right contacts . dawood has plenty of both .\ndawood ' s base in dubai is an ideal place from which to influence the countless games that take place in neighbouring sharjah , a kind of monaco of the middle east . it stages a large number of the insignificant ' noddy games ' - matches meaningless in sporting terms but highly - valuable to television - which often attract the bookies ' attention .\nmeanwhile , there ' s no end in sight to ibrahim ' s exile . he may once have had the opportunity to negotiate a deal with the indian authorities , and even engaged in backdoor talks about possible amnesty . but his involvement in the bombay bombings and his support for pakistani - based militant groups closed that door .\nhis first posting is in godforsaken kollanahalli on the kerala - karnataka border , which has no proper police station or amenities . crimes there are livestock or vegetable thefts by a gang of three petty thieves , led by joju george , who acquits himself well . sunil sukhada and molly kannamali , who play dawood\u2019s subordinates , bring on comic relief through their dialogues and actions .\ntoday , ibrahim ' s empire stretches across south asia into africa , and it has outlets in several european capitals . in many respects , his business interests differ little today from those of the great oligarchs of russia , south africa , china and india . the origins of the business , however , lie explicitly in large - scale transnational criminal activities .\nibrahim ' s forced departure from the emirates did not , however , impinge on his ability to do business . his organization , the d - company , still controls vast swathes of mumbai ' s underworld from its headquarters in the central district of dongri . its influence stretches north through gujurat and into delhi , and covers large swathes of nepal , bangladesh , pakistan and beyond .\nthe cbi ( india ' s special police force ) and the raw ( the country ' s intelligence agency ) frequently stumble across major industries that are backed by ibrahim : his traditional organized criminal sectors such as the smuggling of drugs and arms , the more recent manufacture of counterfeit currency in india , nepal and bangladesh , and in legitimate businesses like construction and financing bollywood movies .\n. ' it ' s going to be a mass entertainer in which i play a police officer named dawood and i will be romancing sshivada again , ' says jayasurya . interestingly , like the character of jayasurya in sudhi vathmeekam , sshivada will be playing a bank employee in this film . revealing more about her character , the actress says , ' i play nithya who is bolder than my character kalyani of sudhi vathmeekam . '\nthe bombings led to the splintering of not just d - company , but most of the bombay underworld . chota rajan , previously ibrahim ' s key lieutenant , entered into a deadly feud with his former boss . but so stretched are law enforcement resources in india and so propitious the economic boom for underground activities , that all the major gangs in bombay , delhi and elsewhere continue to expand at a breathtaking rate .\nthere is a rather funny sequence in the beginning , where dawood imagines how kollanahalli would be , while travelling in the train to that place . but in reality , it\u2019s a horrible place and the police station is in a pathetic state . evidently to tickle the funny bone , there is a head constable named kuttan pillai ( sunil sukhada ) and a lady constable called angel mary ( molly kannamaly ) , besides some weird looking baddies , who are also there to play jokers .\ndawood\u2019s dreams of big bang bust of hardened criminals and crime cracking , aided by a police contingent , are shattered . but soon things begin to hot up with the sleepy town of kollanahalli waking up to the news of a theft for the first time in 15 years . the script accommodates a dreaded overseas don , played by yog japee and three hi - tech thieves . how jayasurya deals with these characters and takes things to a predictable end form the rest of the story .\ndawood , 44 , fled to dubai in 1987 to escape the attention of the bombay police after a courtroom shoot - out left a rival gangster dead . despite all that , he lives openly in dubai , travels freely , throws lavish parties and has high - level political connections in pakistan . crucially , he also controls a network of bookies and has links with some of the world ' s best - known cricketers . like the other south asian betting kingpins , he operates with virtual impunity .\nunsurprisingly , interpol ' s notice provoked outrage from pakistani authorities , who vehemently deny that they host the man once described as the most dangerous in the world . ibrahim is a major player in the criminal - terrorist business network that has deep roots in pakistan , but despite his financial clout and d - company ' s long reach , he is personally dependent on the goodwill of pakistan ' s government . there are few other countries in the world where he would be safe .\nhis reluctance to appear in public is explained less by his criminal activities and more by complex judicial and geo - political circumstances . good relations with the u . s . and india were a crucial part of dubai ' s efforts to transform itself into the new regional financial hub . and while the emirate refused to go so far as to hand over ibrahim to either delhi or washington , his presence threatened its ballooning business ties with india and its political friendship with the u . s .\nthe makers have announced the release date of the thriller , and it will hit screens across the world on aug . 12 .\nhello folks , we ' re back with a bang ! team idi is proud and happy to let you know that our movie was co - produced by eros international in association with the production house , magic lantern which is ventured by dr . ajaz ibrahim and arun . idi will be distributed worldwide by eros international on the 12th of august , 2016 [ sic ] ,\nthe makers wrote on the movie ' s facebook page .\neven here , things have recently proved increasingly difficult for the bombay don , and he has had to abandon the white house in karachi . the u . s .

and the undercurrents of society where almost everyone uses other people for personal gain .\nthe aforementioned professionalism is evident in the way ordinary people looks , with director of photography bineesh viswam\u2019s long sweeping shots adding a visual splendour to the intentionally tangled web that the story weaves . anand\u2019s characters paint contrasting pictures , with the poor couple that pushes carts of clothes and snacks radiating a simple happiness while the youngsters in a new relationship unabashedly admit to each other the shallowness of their relationship , all this while the casually aloof sex worker goes about her business with more than one of the committed men in the story . the harsh realities in the lives of ordinary people , it would seem .\nthe film , produced by k . k . sudarsan , stars sree nath , chithira lakshmy , samarth ambujakshan , sreelakshmi sreekumar , manu thomas , sruthy madhavan , manmadhan and lakshmipriya menon in the main roles .\nin 2010 , sooraj harris completed his acting course at barry john acting studio in mumbai . five years later , he landed in his first role in rani padmini . for those who probably wonder , it wouldn\u2019t be so hard to recollect his character which was named after a superstar \u2014 shahrukh khan . \u201cit was when i was a part of the production team that writer shyam pushkaran came to me and said that he wanted me to do the shahrukh role . he said i was the most apt one for the role . as a writer , if he frames a character in mind , he wouldn\u2019t change it . \u201d\n\u201cas a debutant , it was a great experience to work with aashiq abu and i was multi - tasking for rani padmini , \u201d says sooraj . son of producer p . m . harris , sooraj says he doesn\u2019t mind waiting to get a deserving role and is extremely uncomfortable with the tag \u2018producer\u2019s son\u2019 . \u201ci clearly want to state that i don\u2019t want that privilege . i want to get a role only if i deserve it . \u201d\nbefore his acting stint , sooraj was working with ace ad director sreekumar menon . \u201csreekumar is my mentor in everything . starting as an assistant director , my purpose was to learn more about cinema and then get into acting . i started my career as a flight dispatcher and soon , i understood that this was not my future . one day , i told my father . he asked what i want to do and i said i want to act . despite having a film background , my dad insisted i learn cinema and understand the whole process . he has never recommended for me , so i only owe him for his advice . he asked me to do the necessary preparation to be an actor and thus i joined barry john . \u201d he\u2019ll also be seen with vinay forrt , asif ali and unni mukundan in avarude raavukal , directed by shanil muhammed .\nking liar has dileep sporting a new and sleek get - up - one that makes him look different . it\u2019s unlike anything we have seen on him - blazer and turtle neck , a sharp beard and the works . the designer behind the look is praveen varma , a film industry veteran of 10 years and an almost equal number of films , who swears by \u2018design basics\u2019 .\n\u201cinches and centimetres are all i have to express myself as designer , \u201d he says . manipulate the measurement , combine it with design basics , work around an actor\u2019s physical limitations and show their best on film .\nit is tempting to call praveen varma\u2019s take on his craft cerebral . as costume designer for films he firmly believes that his job is to contribute cohesion and depth \u2013 a sense of wholesomeness \u2013 to a character .\nto illustrate the point he uses a detail \u2013 a gun patch \u2013 from prithviraj\u2019s get - up in the 2012 film bachelor party , directed by amal neerad ; many would remember the film\u2019s edgy look .\n\u201cit is a tiny detail ; but one which tells something of the character and his circumstances . negligible details such as this complete the picture while adding something extra to the film . and the film was able to communicate that . \u201d these details would , obviously , be irrelevant if a film fails to communicate their presence . communicating through his work , therefore , is important .\nthis explains why in the last 10 years , starting 2006 when he began doing films , he has picked only a handful . he made his debut with amal neerad\u2019s big b . he counts amal , along with directors such as lijo jose pellisserry and lal , directors he can depend on to communicate his \u2018art\u2019 .\n\u201ci agree that costumes don\u2019t make a film , but i , consciously , choose to associate with filmmakers with whom i can work sans doubts . be it amal or lijo , for example , who are brilliant technicians . i need that confidence to work . \u201d\nhe is not comfortable with labelling his approach as just cerebral ; it is too layered for that . \u201cit is art too , as \u2018design\u2019 could be defined as a controlled form of art . so there is definitely art and emotion . design treads a fine line between art and commerce and rational thinking . i walk that line . it\u2019s simple and pleasurable if you know how . \u201d\nof the many labels that define him \u2013 designer , film stylist , entrepreneur and teacher \u2013 it is the teacher\u2019s he feels passionately about . his grandfather , mother , aunts , cousins , sister are all teachers ;

uses both labine and punch in excruciating , disappointing fashion .\ntodd ( tyler labine ) dreams of making the perfect marriage proposal to longtime girlfriend cammie ( malin akerman ) at his family ' s cottage , but fate takes a new direction .\nit ' s actually not all bad . i love black comedies and this one does not shy away from violence and i also like labine and akerman a great deal . you might not know it from her film output , but akerman is a\u2026\nif cottage country has a flaw , it may be that it is too many things to attract too many people . horror fans will want more blood ; comedy aficionados may find the laughs too spread out . but if you have even an inkling of appreciation for either genre , and you like the idea of a story that doesn\u2019t tell you where it\u2019s going in the first five minutes , tag along . it\u2019s worth the drive .\ncottage country sports a twist in its third act which completely reworks the nature of todd and cammie\u2019s nature relationship . it\u2019s one that , had the movie shown a little restraint , would build logically off the painful deterioration of cammie\u2019s morality . the movie shows zero restraint and dives in whole hog , taking the twist to a degree that it never earned . it cheapens everything that came before it and removes any weight from what comes after .\nou can probably see where this is going even if you haven\u2019t seen ang lee\u2019s adaptation of annie proulx\u2019s gay cowboy story brokeback mountain \u2013 a film to which god\u2019s own country owes an immediately obvious debt , even if the ways in which the two productions chew over their stories of unconstrained love on the open pasture turn out to be markedly different . johnny is suspicious of gheorghe as soon as he collects him from the station \u2013 he calls him \u2018gypsy\u2019 in a tone of voice that\u2019s not obviously affectionate .\ncottage country tells the story of todd and cammie who go to todd\u2019s cottage so that he can propose . some unwanted guests cause todd and cammie to cover up multiple murders in a very dark comedy . the movie is morbidly funny and mixes the horror with the comedy in a way that not everyone\u2019s pallette will be able to handle . sometimes the mixing of the two genres is a little uneven , and i would\u2019ve liked a bit more comedy in there , but the movie remains funny enough to not lose sight of its goal . there are standout moments that are very very funny , but the movie would\u2019ve benefited from having some smaller laughs sprinkled in throughout .\n\u201ci have a feeling this will be our best trip to the cottage ever , \u201d says a hopeful todd before all heck breaks loose . he\u2019s about to be disappointed , along with the rest of us .\nsam kench is a high school film fanatic who moonlights as an amateur filmmaker himself . following in the footsteps of martin mcdonaugh , darren aronofsky , and quentin tarantino . also has an aspiration for art and produces many drawings , paintings , and noire art revolving around movies and actors\ntodd and cammie are off to the family cottage and part of the program is to formalize the couple\u2019s endearing love \u2014 she calls him \u201ctoodles , \u201d he calls her \u201csnuggle bum\u201d \u2014 with a proposal and a ring .\ntodd and cammie are clearly in love . i almost don\u2019t want to say anything more about cottage country , for fear of ruining its sundry devious surprises . many movies feature a twist or reveal in the final act : i am your father ! he\u2019s a ghost ! one direction is not an actual direction ! ( was i the only one who didn\u2019t see that coming ? ) anyway , this one caroms down the narrative highway like an out - of - control hearse late for its own funeral .\ntyler labine is great as todd . he pulls off the comedy and handles the dramatic moments just as well . the cast of characters is surprisingly varied and everyone does their jobs nicely . the female lead cammie ( played by malin akerman ) is great and her character , that at first seems generic , is actually rather interesting . spoiler her character actually becomes the antagonist of the film near the end and while the writing on her transition wasn\u2019t particularly good , the actress manages to make it work fairly well . the climax of the film went in an unexpected direction , but i think it works for this particular movie . end spoiler .\nfrom here , the movie lists from comedy to horror , from thriller to police procedural , from the taming of the shrew to macbeth . in its best moments it touches down in coen brothers\u2019 country , although i may be projecting because of the presence of folksy police sergeant mackenzie , played by sabrina grdevich .\n\u201clet people feel the soul and the heart there , \u201d robert bresson once advised aspiring directors , \u201cbut let it be made like a work of hands . \u201d god\u2019s own country , the superb debut feature from the 47 - year - old english filmmaker francis lee , could slip seamlessly into the austere french master\u2019s bristlingly tactile world .\necareanu brings wells of unspoken feeling and a quietly imposing presence to what could have easily been a flat - pack heartthrob role , and the two actors\u2019 chemistry is genuine and grapefruit - sharp . the film has a cumulative power that sneaks up on you even as you think you\u2019re keeping track of it , and a twilit afterglow that hasn\u2019t faded yet .\nthe dramatic and horror aspects are surprisingly effective . i love horror comedies , and what usually ends up happening is that the comedy takes center stage while the horror is merely a backdrop . most horror comedies simply use the horror as the setup and fail to deliver on actually being frightening . cottage country , while never being scary , does manage to competently build tension and even manifest a creepy vibe in a few scenes . the way these different elements are mixed could have been handled better , but i found that they still worked . these elements work especially well given the excellent acting and the good musical score .\no\u2019connor is probably best known for his work on television \u2013 he played larry , brother of gerald , in the itv comic - drama series the durrells \u2013 and he portrays johnny\u2019s steady maturation here with extraordinary delicacy and deftness . ( by the end of the film , it feels like you\u2019re looking at a completely different person , without having actually noticed him changing once . )\nbut todd ' s overbearingly free - spirited brother salinger didn ' t consult the cottage - occupancy schedule , and shows up with girlfriend masha ( lucy punch ) just as the romantic getaway begins . he may have invited a few dozen friends to show up tomorrow night , in fact .\nwhen todd takes his girlfriend cammie up to the family cottage for a reclusive proposal , the last thing he expected to be doing was dealing with was his slacker brother and his hippie girlfriend . but in this comedy of errors , todd and cammie , have to deal with his accidentally murdered brother in order to live happily ever after .\nafter watching the movie i was somewhat shocked to see all the negative reviews for it . this film has a bad reputation and seems to be getting a lot of undeserved flak . is this movie perfect ? not at all , but it is not bad by any stretch of the imagination . it\u2019s an enjoyable flick that doesn\u2019t deserved to be labeled as trash as it has been . i\u2019m expecting it to actually gain a cult following in a few years .\ncammie\u2019s arc is another instance where the film drops the ball . sure , the movie is a horror comedy , a subgenre not known as the domain of complex characters . however , the moment she hears the news of salinger\u2019s untimely passing , cammie takes a hard right , becoming this manipulative , selfish she - devil . todd gets a few quiet moments following the kill where you can see his brain is struggling to catch up with what his body did . cammie ? she jumps right into a speech about sunk relationship costs , her unrelenting need to have kids , and sweeps todd into how the pair can blow passed all this and still have a great week . it\u2019s a cheap character development , one that the film tries to make up for later with a brief scene showing she has indeed been affected by what happened . it\u2019s too late by then and even her guilt is colored entirely by how the murder could impact her dream wedding .\nhe film begins with what might be the most unmistakably yorkshire dawn imaginable , the sky over johnny\u2019s farmhouse inching imperceptibly from grey - blue into grey - green , while clouds lour impatiently overhead . but up on the moors , it\u2019s as if he and gheorghe have entered into a temporary state of grace , until they return home to johnny\u2019s father and plain - spoken grandmother ( gemma jones ) , the sigh and tick of her steam iron , and the crackle of kindling in the grate .\none element which is absolutely on point , besides labine , is the criminally underrated lucy punch . she\u2019s clearly having a blast burying herself behind an almost unintelligible and unquantifiable eastern european accent . her masha gets these moments of clarity where a demented sense of humor shines through . masha nearly totally buries the forgettable salinger as a foil for todd and cammie , almost to the point where the film might have been better served ditching him entirely and just doing some sort of triangle with the three others .\not that the film labours the point , or any other . in the style of andrea arnold\u2019s extraordinary poetic - realist adaptation of wuthering heights ( 2011 ) , it lingers in the moment and lets nature take its course . even the lambing sequences themselves are all the lovelier for being so eye - wateringly frank \u2013 and a scene in which an orphaned animal is \u2018grafted\u2019 onto a new mother is later harked back to for maximum symbolic impact . ( gheorghe too comes into johnny\u2019s life in sheep\u2019s clothing . )\ntodd ( labine ) wants everything to be just perfect at the family cottage where he plans to propose to cammie ( akerman ) . but things go awry with the arrival of todd\u2019s slacker brother salinger and his free - spirited girlfriend masha ( lucy punch ) . when todd accidentally kills his annoying brother with an axe , cammie is determined not to let a murder stand in the way of their happiness .\ntodd and cammie blame a drifter they saw earlier who gets arrested . after cammie insists their wedding be held in the same cottage all the murders have happened in and she makes him yell at his mother , todd realizes he doesn ' t love her and needs to turn himself into the police . he takes off in his car with cammie ( who agrees she doesn ' t love him ) in hot pursuit .\ntodd ( labine ) wants everything to be just perfect at the family cottage where he plans to propose to cammie ( akerman ) . but things go awry with the arrival of todd ' s slacker brother salinger ( petronijevic ) and his free - spirited girlfriend masha ( punch ) . when todd accidentally dispatches his irksome sibling with an axe , cammie is determined not to let murder stand in the way of their happiness .\nso now we have a dead body in the movie . given the woodsy - cabin locale ( plus the fact that mortality loves company ) , you can expect more to follow . seemingly just to broaden the pool of victims , salinger has invited all his friends up to the cottage for the weekend , and so the murder scene quickly becomes party central , complete with one reveler named dov ( benjamin ayres ) who fancies himself an amateur sleuth .\nut when they camp out close to the flock in the remains of a long - deserted cottage , the gently poaching tension between them ramps up to a rolling boil , and the hands that until recently ran themselves over animal flanks find other things to paw and grasp at . the sex scenes are muddy and vigorous , verging on explicit \u2013 but they\u2019re also struck through with the same flinty , unsentimental beauty as the terrain that stretches to the horizon on all sides .\nthe supporting cast all do a very good job . horror movies in general get a bad reputation as having terrible acting , but that is not always the case . the acting in cottage country is good all around . there are some standout characters that manage to be fully developed even though they may only have a couple of scenes . there is a hasidic jewish man named dov who goes all detective on the disappearance of todd\u2019s brother salinger who he murdered earlier ( not a spoiler it\u2019s in the trailer ) . this character is delightfully strange and his outcome is gleefully funny . the one character i found underdeveloped was the vagrant . he is only seen twice and a little more action from him would\u2019ve been appreciated . there are two other standout characters i want to mention . the female cop and todd\u2019s father both manage to be terribly cool , despite having little screen time . the cop is a bonafide bamf and really goes out with a bang and todd\u2019s father might actually be the funniest part of the whole movie when he starts screaming at his wife .\nbit of a disappointing black comedy starring tyler labine and malin akerman as todd and cammie , a sickly sweet couple who go to todd ' s parents cottage for a romantic weekend but get rudely interrupted by todd ' s slacker brother and his russian girlfriend . things take a turn for the grisly when during a fight with his brother todd manages to lodge an axe in his neck and we watch as the body count rises as he tries to cover up the murder . this films main problem is for a black comedy there just aren ' t enough laughs , the humour is based on the stupidity of the lead characters and for me it just wasn ' t that funny . the characters also come across as\u2026\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nwhen a man accidentally kills his brother with an ax , his fianc\u00e9e is determined not to let even murder stand in the way of their happiness .\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

defunct and much - missed scala cinema in kings cross ( the london equivalent of a grindhouse theatre . they used to show double bills of warhol , waters , russ meyer , kenneth anger , etc in its heyday ) . it made a vivid impression . some of the images are seared in my brain ! hadn\u2019t seen it in over twenty years and the hip gay bar the glory here in london recently organised a screening of it \u2013 so i finally got to re - visit daughters of darkness . what a truly great and original art movie ! they did an unusual thing at the glory : they screened daughters of darkness with no audio and the subtitles on , and the musician helen noir provided a live eerie electronic soundtrack as the film unfolded . it was mesmerising ! delphine seyrig is truly spectacular in it .\ni can\u2019t attest as to what a horror / vampire film fan makes of daughters of darkness ( my sense is that it\u2019s too slow and lacking in scares and gore to be satisfying ) ; but everything about this movie is as suited to my tastes as a ken russell - roman polanski film festival .\n\u201ca classy genre of vampire film follows a style i call psychological high gothic . it begins in coleridge \u2018s medieval christabel and its descendants , poe \u2018s ligeia and james \u2018s the turn of the screw . a good example is daughters of darkness , starring delphine seyrig as an elegant lesbian vampire . high gothic is abstract and ceremonious\u2019 .\nthere were giants on the earth in those days , and also afterward , when the sons of god came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them .\njude speaks about the same rebellion as peter and genesis . sometime during the times of noah , angels \u201cleft their own habitation\u201d and went after \u201cstrange flesh\u201d , after the daughters of\nof the servants of the lord , and their righteousness is of me . \u201d\ndirector harry k\u00fcmel talks about daughters of darkness in the excellent bbc documentary horror europa ( 2012 ) by mark gattis . he ' s the first director interviewed , and he sheds fascinating light on the reasons behind his choices for the look of the countess and the dominance of the colors red , black , and white . available on youtube here .\nthid sort of behaviour is not an islamic quality or injunction . daughters are a way to paradise . may allah help us muslims to change our behaviors .\nhis example still carries on to this day as a legacy because my sisters and other relatives treat their daughters the same way .\n4 authors will each take a different daughter born from the prince of darkness , vlad montour . ( also known as vlad the impaler , an evil villain from history )\ndaughters of darkness is not going to be everyone\u2019s cup of tea that is for sure . but if you are a lover of the vampire as the erotic there is going to be some appeal . the film had a strong feminine feel to it with the female cast outnumbering the male , and the distinctly feminist portrayal of the countess . to quote from wikipedia camille paglia writes that ,\nthere was something that happened when man started multiplying . the \u201csons of god\u201d saw the daughters of men and took wives from them . see that verse 1 puts in contrast the men and the\nwhile the sight of jerry brought cheers , it was her daughters from her marriage to mick , georgia may and elizabeth , who almost stole the show . also in blue , they were among the bridesmaids , along with mr murdoch\u2019s daughters grace and chloe from his marriage to third wife wendi deng .\nan eye - opening article . let us go back to the time of the jahiliyah . daughters are looked down upon and buried alive upon their birth . from this article and from my observation , we are now returning to that era with the exception that daughters are not being buried alive , yet .\ndaughters of darkness [ dvd ] : urltoken paul esser , john karlen , delphine seyrig , daniele quimet , george jamin , joris collet , fons rademakers , andrea rau , eduard j . r . van der enden , harry kuemel , paul collet , alain c . guilleaume , pierre drouot : dvd & blu - ray\nmurdoch , 84 , has four daughters from three marriages ; prudence , 57 , elisabeth , 47 , grace , 14 , and chloe 12 . hall , 59 , has two daughters , lizzie , 32 , and georgia , 24 , from her relationship to sir mick jagger .\nshock : my goodness ! such turmoil behind the scenes of such a controlled film . looking back on daughters as both a movie and an experience , what are your thoughts ?\nall of this makes\ndaughters of darkness\na fairly stylish adult vampire movie , and delphine seyrig ( last seen wandering about a resort hotel in\nlast year at marienbad\n) is a most satisfactory vampire . the movie ends on a note of divine retribution , which is always nice in this sort of enterprise . the moral is , never take on a vampire with a car if all you ' ve got is a bicycle .\ngreat blu ray release of daughters of darkness , a film that is so beautiful to look at helped by it ' s desolate seascape locations , elegant costuming & set design & wonderful cast with d . seyrig stealing every scene . blu ray also includes some interesting interviews with cast . also includes blood splattered bride as an extra that is uniqe in it ' s own demented way .\none word , wtf . let me start by saying that i picked daughter of darkness up with the expectation and acknowledgment that it would be a very weird story . i figured it was a scrungy sort of book about a vampire \u201cdaddy\u201d who adopts daughters for retrieval purposes . meaning , the daughters picked up poor suckers ( being perverted guys looking for a one night stand ) at a club , brought them home , and handed them to the vampire for his immortal needs . sounded original enough and i needed a new read . eeeks !\na while back i collaborated with a couple of bloggers on an article called 16 unusual vampire movies where we came up with a list of vampire films that break the norm of what we\u2019ve come to expect from a vampire film . many interesting films where mentioned on that article , amongst them daughters of darkness which i\u2019ve only recently had the pleasure of watching , and i say \u201cpleasure\u201d because i really enjoyed this film ! i wasn\u2019t expecting to , but damn it , i loved it !\n. \u201cthe sons of god saw the daughters of men\u201d , we read . who were these sons of god ? although the believers in the new testament have been given authority by believing in the lord jesus christ and in his resurrection from the dead to\nbook 2 of the night world series , daughters of darkness , shifts focus to a new set of characters of the secret society . relatives of james from the first book , we meet rowan , kestrel , and jade . they are three vampire sisters who snuck away from home . tired of the secret society , they want to try to live as humans out in oregon . they move into a dilapidated old home , next to mark and mary - lynette carter . as jade and mark get closer , their brother ash comes to town to bring his sisters back . of co\nthis topic is very important for all of us . i am a mother of three daughters . i am trying my best to educate them both morally and spiritually so they can stand on their own feet and can fight for their rights .\ndiscouraging the christians from reading and studying the word of god , and thereby making them ignorant of their authority and of the promises of god .\nit ' s not clear just how long k\u00fcmel has had the idea of making a sequel in his head , but when he presented several potential projects to producer tomas leyers of the production company minds meet , the first draft of the mothers of darkness screenplay was part of the presentation . when leyers read the script it\nsparked the fire immediately to work on this project .\nwhen i was a little girl , daddy told me never to fear the dark . \u201cwe exist because of the darkness , \u201d he told me . \u201call of you are daughters of darkness . \u201d beloved bestselling author v . c . andrews\u2019s passion for vampires comes to spellbinding life in a long - awaited novel of dark desires as all - consuming\u2014and forbidden\u2014as in flowers in the attic . one night , with the sound of a young man\u2019s scream , high school senior lorelei discovers that her stern but loving father , who adopted lorelei and her sisters as infants , is no ordinary man . he has raised his beautiful girls for one purpose : to lure young men into their world of shadows . like her sisters , lorelei has been trained in the art of seduction and warned never to fall in love . but when she meets a handsome and charming classmate , she boldly defies her family and follows her heart\u2014even if love is a poison . . . . dangerously enticing and deliriously intoxicating , v . c . andrews\u2019s daughter of darkness will leave readers thirsting for more .\nif confronted with the fact that khadijah , ( peace be upon her ) , wife of the prophet had only surviving daughters , and that indeed , ultimately muhammad ( peace be upon him ) had no male offspring , what does that say to this tradition ? is there not also a hadith that a person who has 7 daughters is blessed ? these things should show us the better way of equality and appreciating all things male and female .\nan exotic , erotic re - working of the legend of vampire elisabeth bathor .\nin daughters of darkness bathory is portrayed as a vampire , though not in the traditional way . we never see fangs , they don\u2019t melt in the sunlight and they don\u2019t sparkle when the moonlight hits them . no , the vampires in daughters of darkness are too \u2018chic\u2019 for that sort of thing . these vampire vixens worry more about how they\u2019re going look and what they are going to wear before they indulge in their bloodlust . i liked that about this movie , these vampires ladies really play it cool . in a way they are closer to the way count dracula would behave in the old hammer dracula movies . you know , really polite , really pleasant , then when you\u2019ve been lulled into a false sense of security \u201cwhamo ! \u201d they attack ! this elizabeth bathory as played by actress delphine seyrig , starts out like a pleasant lady , kind of sexy , kind of charming with her sultry whisper of a voice , but after a while she\u2019ll really get under your skin ! delphine seyrig really steals the show on this film as the countess ; she\u2019ll charm the hell out of you before you know it .\n. we published it in all the dailies and all the public media . all the forces of darkness were mobilized and we were very confident that nothing was going to interrupt this meeting . in fact everything was well planned and there was no loophole .\nin spite of their vast number and long history , i\u2019m not sure i can name even five vampire movies i like . there\u2019s andy warhol\u2019s dracula ( 1974 ) , werner herzog\u2019s nosferatu the vampyre ( 1979 ) , the hunger ( 1983 ) , and\u2026 ok , looks like i hit the wall at three . well , make that four ; for topping this very short list and ranking # 1 as my absolute favorite vampire movie of all time is belgian director harry k\u00fcmel\u2019s sleek , sexy , and exceedingly stylish daughters of darkness .\nmany converts backslide because of lack of proper follow - up . if you love jesus , take care of his lambs !\nmy father loved my sisters equally without any regard for their gender . he would lovingly refer to my sisters as his sons . he always said that allah had blessed him with these daughters .\nthis is an anthem to all girls out there ! it says on their official website , \u201cdaughters of darkness is an admission that women , like men , have their dark side . ' even with the sweetest woman in the world , you click a switch somewhere , and she\u2019s a little bit crazy or she has her secrets , ' hale says . ' and a lot of times you see these girls let all that stuff out at our concerts , which is really gratifying . '\nsource : i own a bind up of books 1 , 2 and 3 in this series . cost : free gift title : daughters of darkness series : night world # 2 author : lj smith overall rating : 4 stars this one is my favourite for sure , i loved the family element of it . i really love how the sisters stuck together throughout this one , and i want to know more about ash ! i really did like how this was an almost separate story from the previous one but set within the same world .\nroman catholic bishop fulton scheen used to state as his motto , that it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness . it is so . truth , can break the cycle of fear and ignorance that holds women in bondage in all religions .\nreview courtesy of all things urban fantasy this whole book made me\u2026uncomfortable . the incestuous overtones that are present throughout daughter of darkness vary from subtle to overt . it\u2019s big time creepy , and not in the fun paranormal way that we all love . more like dracula meets sister wives . the main characters were also somewhat off - putting : daddy for the obvious reasons , lorelei for her sheep - to - the - slaughter mentality that was so na\u00efve and worshipful of daddy that i cringed constantly when she went on and on about competing with her other sexpot sisters for the position of being daddy\u2019s best daughter . and we can\u2019t forget the uber boring and needy romantic interest who was declaring his undying love on the second date . there were a couple of redeeming aspects of daughter of darkness . the question of who / what daddy is and the nature of his kind along with the mystery of his daughters ( where did they all come from & what is their \u2018final destiny\u2019 ? ) was genuinely intriguing and well plotted . despite there being no love lost between me and any of these characters , i had to know how the story ended . i had some suspicions , but the last chapter was truly shocking and very v . c . andrews . if you\u2019re a fan of the books published under the andrews name , you\u2019ll probably like the unsettling nature of daughter of darkness , but itwasn\u2019t for me . sexual content : a couple brief , non graphic sex scenes . discussion of incest .\nchrissy peebles takes on one of the daughter ' s of vlad . this is the story of blair , his hybrid daughter .\n1 . confession of the lordship of christ . 2 . confession of faith in the word , in christ and in god the father . 3 . confession of sin .\nthe name of jesus or the blood of jesus in the mouth of the believer sends out fire etc . the scripture says :\nstylistically , daughters of darkness is a knockout , making subtle visual reference to other genre films and cinema in general . among them : hitchcock\u2019s psycho , garbo , louise brooks , the horror tropes of f . w . murnau and tod browning , and dietrich\u2019s von sternberg collaborations . it ' s a film so comfortable in its self - awareness that at one point a character ( the detective ) breaks the fourth wall , looks directly into the camera , and identifies the film ' s tone and wry perspective .\nwhether considered an arty trash film or a trashy art film ( i personally think it\u2019s a special kind of high - style pop masterpiece ) , daughters of darkness is a great deal of campy fun . i know next to nothing about harry k\u00fcmel , but were i to go by the way this film makes me feel and how it engages me with its visuals , its sharp screenplay ( credited to k\u00fcmel , jean ferry , pierre druot , and manfred r . k\u00f6hler ) , and seyrig\u2019s knowing evocation of the film sirens of yesteryear ; i would say he is a man who not only loves movies but understands them . it\u2019s evident in every frame .\nthis review is part of miscellaneous foreign horror week , the last of five celebrations of international horror done for our shocktober 2008 event .\ncondemn . this is the heritage of the servants of the lord , and their righteousness is of me , said the lord . \u201d\neight police motorcycles escorted three stretch limousines carrying mourners to the church ahead of the service . a procession of dozens of cars followed .\ni wish i could remember what kind of theater played\ndaughters of darkness\nwhen it was first released in sf in 1971 . it ' s just as likely it opened oat one of the grindhouses on market street as one of the arthouses which showed warhol and john waters movies . the silent screening you describe really sounds kind of marvelous . i have yet to see this beautiful film on a big screen , but would love to have seen it in such a unique way as you describe . it must have been mesmerizing ! since posting this piece , i ' ve become re - infatuated with seyrig and acquired several of her films that slipped by me in the past . spectacular is the word !\nsaw the daughters of men , that they were beautiful ; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose . and the lord said ,\nmy spirit shall not strive with man forever , for he is indeed flesh ; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years .\ni strongly disagree with the fact that men remarry to have sons . islam allowed men to marry up to 4 wives for a reason , for instance , if his wife can ' t get pregnant . but the problem is that some men want to have sons rather than daughters . what ' s that for ? a child , whether he ' s a boy or a girl , is a gift from god , why do some think of it as a tragedy ? women are really suffering in our societies because of polygamy , and because of having daughters instead of having sons to rejoice their spouses .\nhaving sisters and a daughters is a blessing . i was spoiled and pampered by my sisters . i miss that because allah has blessed me with three sons . i wish i had a daughter like my sisters .\nshe wrote : ' i was very upset when i was told about the incident that was witnessed by [ my daughters ] when the door to the room [ jessa and ben ] were in was accidentally opened .\noverall i enjoyed this book . i hope that there will be a sequel to explain more of the plot . daughter of darkness was in the spirit of most v . c . andrews books . the main character was not much of a role model until the end of the book . she was meek , weak , naive , childish , and boy crazy ( instant true love ) . but , by the end of the book she had found her strength ! pro : a great amount of mystery that kept me reading the book even through all of the things that annoyed me . an original take on vampire cu\nnear the end of the insistently weepy \u201cfathers and daughters , \u201d aunt elizabeth ( diane kruger , aged up with makeup ) tells her niece katie ( amanda seyfried ) , with a weariness that can only be cultivated by a life of disappointment , that \u201cmen , they can survive without love\u2014but not us women . \u201d\ni agree with you whole - heartily . we must look inside ourselves and practice the true islam and the message of prophet mohammed ( pbuh ) its odd to see the people who pray five time a day and fast but reject there wife and daughters and deem them to be\nuseless\n, surely prophet mohammed ' s ( pbuh ) greatest asset was his wife and daughter ( bibi khatija and bibi fatima - ul zahra ) . as a society we can be more successful with the help of our wives and daughters . your essay is a step in the right direction of dialogue .\nthere\u2019s a kind of predictable , to - be - expected adherence to form and structure that comes with the territory of genre films . filmmakers deviate from it at their own risk . as a movie fan , i can\u2019t help but give historical credit to horror films in general for their vast stylistic influence on the art form , as such . but as a non - fan of vampire films , it helped a great deal that i came to daughters of darkness with little in the way of expectations and devoid of an awareness of any vampire film\ntraditions\ni longed to see upheld . i simply hoped the film wouldn\u2019t live up to its limp u . s . ad campaign and that cheesy title , which made the film sound like a made - for - tv movie starring donna mills and kay lenz .\nto conclude therefore : when in i peter 3 : 19 we read that jesus went and preached to the spirits in prison , we should not read into it dead people living in a prison , without resurrection , and jesus going to them to preach the good news . what the word of god is speaking in i peter 3 : 19 is not about dead people but about spirits , angelic beings that are in a prison , in the tartarus , bound in everlasting chains under darkness . why ? because of what they did in the times of noah , leaving their own habitation , giving themselves over to fornication and going after \u201cstrange flesh\u201d , after the daughters of men .\none for the goths daughters of darkness just oozes an understated gothic charm which instantly captured my heart . in a movie which my co - blogger described as \u2018too arty\u2019 for his tastes , i found that the stylistic quality of this film really made it for me , and i can see why it has become a cult favourite in recent times . directed by harry kumel this is a belgium horror affair with a strong european cast . the film was originally released in france under the title les l\u00e8vres rouges , and in belgium as le rouge aux l\u00e8vres , both which translate to \u2018red lips\u2019 , titles befitting the erotic nature of this film .\nimagine living in a small town where nothing happens , and then suddenly becoming involved in something beyond your wildest dreams . welcome to mary - lynnette ' s life in * daughters of darkness * . in this book , she sees the nieces of her neighbor burying what appears to be a bagged body , and she decides to investigate . but , she gets caught . in true l . j . smith fashion , this leads to the sisters -

eye and the radio - ear . \u201d at one point he described the film as a \u201csymphony of noises . \u201d \u201ci would never have believed it possible to assemble mechanical noises to create such beauty . one of the most superb symphonies i have known . dziga vertov is a musician . \u201d \u2013charles chaplin\ndalen\u2019s rarely -

profile festival exposure , including the new york film festival in 1978 , the film all but disappeared , resurfacing briefly in the 1980s for a vhs release under a different title . owing to this slipshod release pattern , it\u2019s come to be regarded as one of the lost masterpieces of the canadian tax shelter era . \u201ca downbeat film set in a seedy \u201870s version of vancouver where ubiquitous construction sites signal the oncoming wave of gentrification , the film falls between a noir and a western in tone \u2013 the latter especially fitting given that dalen had abandoned an unproduced oater script to focus on skip tracer . \u201d \u2013kier -

friendly , [ this film ] tells the story of the endless breakups and makeups of a highly unstable yet apparently indissoluble couple . it\u2019s a sort of love story told in inverted terms , depicting the protracted end of a five - year affair , with its arbitrary disagreements , sudden mood shifts , moments of irrational anger , and displays of stinging contempt , presented with a genuine , unmeasured violence . \u2018you\u2019ve never succeeded at anything and you never will\u2019 , says jean , a 40 - year - old married filmmaker , to his younger , working - class lover catherine . \u2018and do you know why ? because you are vulgar , irremediably vulgar , and not only are you vulgar , you are ordinary . \u2019 these are the film\u2019s most celebrated lines\u2026a sort of brutalist alternative to the famous line from love story : \u2018love means never having to say you\u2019re sorry . \u2019\u201d \u2013dave kehr , film comment\nromantically speaking , the heartbreaker comes in the film\u2019s final seconds , in which the tramp\u2019s identity is finally revealed to his love interest , who can now see . on chaplin\u2019s face , we see shame intermingling with fear and , ultimately , euphoria . cribbed by federico fellini and woody allen for similar endings , it\u2019s the greatest close -

than - flattering light , behold zulawski\u2019s possession , in which the psychic violence of the other two films in the series erupts into literal violence of the most outrageous and over - the - top variety . a nihilistic , no - holds - barred portrait of a disintegrating marriage , featuring highly stylized , career - best performances by isabelle adjani and sam neill , possession starts as psychodrama , develops into queasy supernatural horror , and ends up exploding all known genres . a film of rampant and astonishingly sustained hysteria , its craziness equaled only by its fecund imagination and deep conviction , possession is the definition of a film that\u2019s not for the faint of heart . it may just have the power to annihilate valentine\u2019s day once and for all .\nwith albert brooks , kathryn harrold , bruno kirby , george kennedy , and james l . brooks . mint condition print courtesy of sony pictures . modern romance may be albert brooks\u2019s least - known film , but arguably it\u2019s his greatest \u2013 the most uncompromising and consistent , and , as restrained as it is on the surface , ultimately the most personal and unforgiving in its self - criticism . brooks is robert cole , a film editor who breaks up with his girlfriend only to spend the rest of the movie desperately trying to erase his mistake , and even more desperately trying to contain his jealousy , neediness , and paranoia . still the great comic portrait of male neurosis , and of emotional and psychological dysfunction , modern romance lays bare its protagonist\u2019s insecurities with an honesty few dramatic films have achieved . only brooks could make a deadpan comedy about a man who\u2019s very nearly psychotic . painfully funny , with the emphasis on \u2018funny . \u2019\na film , also called a movie , motion picture or photoplay , is a series of still images which , when shown on a screen , creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon . this optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession . a film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera ; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques ; by means of cgi and computer animation ; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects . the word\ncinema\n, short for cinematography , is often used to refer to the industry of films and filmmaking or to the art of filmmaking itself . the contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences to communicate ideas , stories , perceptions , feelings , beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving images along with other sensory stimulations .\nboy meets boy this british film , shot on a shoestring , captures in a lively and fresh style the first throes of attraction , passion and maybe even love between two men , glen ( new ) and russell ( cullen ) , who meet one night in a bar and spend a couple of days and nights together . they talk , they have sex , they size each other up . glen is open and chatty , while russell is more guarded and defensive .\nyet there\u2019s a rare authenticity and sincerity to this intimate miniature that never so much as grazes the gag reflex , from the gentle chemistry of the non - professional , refreshingly non - pretty leads ( collaborators and lovers in real life ) to the naked emotional candour of their songs ( one of which won a deserved oscar ) to the heartbreaking matter - of - factness with which the film resolves their ambiguous relationship . a wisp of a love story , but a perfect one . gl\nlooks like we made it to the end \u2018what will survive of us is love , \u2019 wrote philip larkin , a poet equally known for being a cuddly old romantic as michael haneke , the writer and director of \u2018amour\u2019 . in his paris - set film , haneke examines what love means when we\u2019re reaching the end of our lives . haneke gives us georges ( trintignant ) and anne ( riva ) , a couple in their eighties who struggle to cope when anne falls ill from a stroke .\nthis informal black -

of - the - century vienna but shot in 1948 hollywood by max oph\u00fcls with a gorgeous , swooning camera , joan fontaine stars as lisa . over decades lisa has had three brief meetings with womanising concert pianist stefan ( louis jourdan ) \u2013 who fails to recognise her every time . her aching letter gives the film its voiceover as she tells the story of her unrequited , borderline masochistic love : \u2018my life can be measured in the moments i have had with you . \u2019 a heartbreaking masterpiece . cc\non the face of it , it\u2019s hard to say why the aggressively sentimental \u2018the notebook\u2019 is any different . but there\u2019s something so earnest about the way this star - crossed teen romance \u2013 he\u2019s a common country boy , she\u2019s a beautiful heiress , you do the math \u2013 hits its clich\u00e9d marks that the film itself takes on the unassailable , idealistic purity of first love . magic casting , too : here\u2019s where the world\u2019s love affair with ryan gosling started , before he got way too cool for this sort of thing . gl\n\u2018west side story\u2019 is like no other musical : sure , it\u2019s sappy ( \u2018mariaaaaaaaaaa\u2019 ) and slightly ridiculous , but it\u2019s also brazenly political ( \u2018if you\u2019re all white in a - me - ri - ca ! \u2019 ) , sneakily self - mocking ( \u2018hey , i got a social disease ! \u2019 ) and ferociously , aggressively emotional : the operatic finale is a masterclass in three - hanky audience manipulation . also , the film contains perhaps the single best song ever written for the musical theatre : \u2018somewhere\u2019 , the ultimate romantic ballad for trapped and dreaming lovers . th\nmy heart will go on\u2026 and on\u2026 and on\u2026 few films inspire as much passion as james cameron\u2019s epic would - be folly . following a troubled production , when the film finally splashed into cinemas , it became the biggest money - spinner of all time , provoking an ocean of housewives\u2019 tears and one of the biggest oscar hauls in history . then the backlash hit , like an iceberg in arctic waters : wait a second , people pointed out , the dialogue\u2019s godawful , the depiction of social class is farcical , and the romance is just join - the - dots mills and boon nonsense .\nit\u2019s a golden age \u2013 a long - lost arcadia \u2013 that can never be recovered by this unlikely romantic pair as the years go by and jack and ennis live separate lives ( though they occasionally meet up for secretive fishing trips to rekindle their passion ) . as they age , jack is more successful at holding down an everyday life with a job and family , but ennis seriously struggles , and his story is all the more tragic for it . it\u2019s a brilliantly acted film , and lee finds time to celebrate and explore the love at the core of his story as well as creating space to mourn its fallout . dc\n( chelovek s kino -

making to the logic of production . made without titles , the movie is at once a documentary portrait of the soviet people , a reflexive essay on cinematic representation ( as dazzling as it is didactic ) , and an ode to work itself as a process of transformation . \u201d \u2013j . hoberman , village voice\nwith taylor mead . \u201cbeyond cassavetes\u201d returns with this edgy , long -

- often in the medical profession - - who learned to resolve conflicts on her own . similarly , montgomery herself prospered and matured in the industry so that she was able to make the most of the opportunities presented to her , without having to experience the pitfalls that so many of her peers , who also started at a young age , dealt with . after more than 30 years in the business , montgomery took time off to focus on caring for her elderly parents , as well as resume her studies and develop a new reputation for herself as an accomplished painter and artist . her artwork can be seen on her website ,\n. while she has not completely turned her back on acting - - she still maintains an agent and appeared on the big screen in 2010 in\ntron : legacy\n- - montgomery now enjoys focusing her time on mastering her other talents and abilities . she graciously consented to an interview with hill place blog to discuss her acting days , as well as share insights about her current work as a painter . in our conversations , montgomery comes across as warm and likable as expected from her screen image , but with a tough , assertive edge that underscores how she does not suffer fools gladly . i would like to extend my sincere gratitude to belinda montgomery for opening up her heart and memories for this interview . a special thank you is also in order to her husband jeff stillman , who demonstrated the utmost patience while i kept his wife busy on the phone with my numerous questions about her acting career .\nbelinda montgomery was born in winnipeg , manitoba , canada , the daughter of accomplished actor cecil montgomery , who was active in television , radio and theater in canada . montgomery recalls how her father ,\nwas an irishman who came to canada in 1948 . he had a couple of different jobs and then a friend of his was an actor going to a reading for something and invited my dad along . he said , ' we ' ve got radio here in manitoba that ' s going to broadcast across canada and they want to do a weekly series . ' the radio series was called ' the jacksons , ' and it was about a family on the prairies . for a lark , my dad auditioned and got the role of this irascible old irishman named tim murphy . and because this was a radio show , you know , nobody knew what he looked like . just like \u201ca prairie home companion , \u201d the show was broadcast , live , from various canadian towns , now and then . and because this was a radio show , you know , nobody knew what he looked like . so before the show began the announcer would introduce the cast and people would applaud when the actor would come out . and then they ' d say , ' here ' s cecil montgomery as tim murphy ! ' well , they loved tim murphy , and they couldn ' t wait to see him , and my dad would come out and he was like this , i don ' t know , 32 year old guy . tall , handsome , young guy with a thick head of black hair and was met with an eerie silence . ( laugh ) and then the cast would start to do the show , and as soon as my dad would talk everybody would go ' oh ! ' recognizing his voice and they ' d start to applaud !\nbecause of her father ' s success in radio , montgomery eventually followed in his footsteps and became an actress as well .\nhe would go in three or four times a week to do these live broadcasts and sometimes i would go with him into the cbc studio . it was just this fascinating world . so i ' m there this one time and we ' re waiting for them to start to record the show , and the director is in a panic because this kid who was supposed to play a little boy hasn ' t shown up . they don ' t know what happened to him and it ' s live . so they look around and the director says , ' what about belinda ? do you think she could do this ? ' my dad says , ' do you think you want to be in the show ? ' and i said , ' yeah ! ' ( laugh ) so they gave me the lines to read and i did them a couple of times and went off into a corner with my dad to rehearse and then they started to record . i had a very husky , gravelly voice as a kid , ( lowers her voice ) ' like this , ' so i could easily play little boys . and so that ' s how i started as an actress ! i started by playing little boys on the radio ! ( laugh )\nbecause of her natural talent and mature professionalism that belied her youth , montgomery soon made a name for herself as a prolific child actress working in radio and television throughout canada . she recalls how ,\ni never performed in school plays because i was already doing them professionally . my sister and i did a couple of television shows that went right across canada that were live on the cbc . one was called ' brandynose , ' it was a christmas story that was a play on ' rudolph . ' it was a big fiasco from the moment it started . sets started to move on their own in the background , actors forgot their lines and walked off and came on again , windows moved , just strange things occurred on - air . and my dad and helene winston , who was a wonderful canadian actress , were standing there helpless and trying to hold back laughter . and this was dreadful because it was going live across canada . so they all pulled it together anyway and it looked like a surreal ' i - don ' t - know - what ' but the audience loved it . everybody just kept going : i was supposed to make an entrance coming through a front door . the door wouldn ' t open and i ' m trying to get it open and my sister ' s standing right beside me and we ' re supposed to go in and say some line and it ' s a cue for other things to happen in the scene . so i thought , ' well , there ' s a window and it ' s open ! ' so my sister tanis and i climbed through the window , just as the camera panned over and they catch us coming through the window , which was totally bizarre , since i had just been knocking at the door , so now i ' m crashing into somebody ' s house through the window . and we started to say our lines and i could see the other actors off in the side with tears coming down their faces , because they were laughing so hard , it was so ridiculous . but we somehow got through it . after that i thought , ' well , who wouldn ' t want to be an actor ? ' ( laugh )\neven though she was already laying the groundwork for her acting career , starting at an early age , and continuing throughout her life , montgomery always painted . she readily acknowledges that she would have focused on a career as an artist if she had not pursued acting as her professional vocation . montgomery recalls that\nas a kid , a van gogh exhibit came through town and my dad took me and that was it . i was just inspired by the colors and the magic of his paintings . i always painted on my own throughout my acting career . when i was 10 years old , i drew a portrait of a face that was 3 feet by 4 feet and it was black and white . it was black down one side , and white down the other side . a newscaster in canada , warren davis , bought it . he was a friend of my father ' s and he said he had to have it so he bought it and put it up prominently in his living room over his fireplace . it was my first sale , for $ 50 . 00 . to me , that was a lot of money . ( laugh )\nwhen montgomery was 11 years old , her father moved the family to england , and she lived for a period of time in london . during those years , montgomery focused more on her schoolwork , but acknowledges that ,\nsomebody saw my sister tanis and i when my dad was doing some show and he said , ' oh , we ' d love to have them for a commercial ! ' so tanis and i did a chocolate tv commercial and we had fun doing that . but we didn ' t really do any acting over there . we were primarily in school during that time , and trying to understand the language . ( laugh ) we were in london for two years and dad did work on the bbc . we moved around london quite a bit . as a kid , i was not fond of that because i was very , very shy . going into new schools , being introduced into new classes - - oh my god , i thought i would die ! i didn ' t like being over there only because i felt like the odd one out . and different teachers would say , when a question would come up , ' oh , let ' s ask the yank ! ' i mean , i didn ' t know these people . i didn ' t know what they were talking about half the time , and so i ' d sort of stand up there and try to get through answering their question . a couple of times i ' d say under my breath , ' i ' m not a yank ! ' it was pretty much rainy and moldy and damp for the two years we lived there and my dad couldn ' t stand it . he said , ' what the hell ? ! what was i thinking coming back overseas ? ! we ' re leaving ! ' so my poor mom had to bundle everything up together . there were three kids - - my brother , my sister and myself - - and we took a ship back to montreal , quebec . we had our little english accents by that time . i just absorbed it , you know how kids do . i came back sounding all breathy like hayley mills , and my sister came back , oh god , sounding like a cockney . we don ' t know where she got it from . it used to drive my father insane . i think that ' s another reason why we came back . my sister would wake my parents up in the middle of the night and say , [ cockney accent ] ' daddy ! may i have a drink of water ! ' and he ' d say [ canadian - american accent ] ' if you ask for it properly in english ! ' ( laugh )\ni was thirteen when we returned , which was a really awkward age , you know ? you ' re so self - conscious and you ' re in adolescence and early puberty . i was glad to be going back , but we didn ' t go back to manitoba because my dad wanted to move to toronto . so we spent the next several years in toronto . i went to high school there and i did a lot of modeling there . i was shy , so my mother thought ' ok , i ' m going to send belinda off to modeling school . ' so she enrolled me in a modeling school run by a wonderful woman . they had deportment classes where you ' d learn to keep your head up and photography , etc . , and my mom thought , ' oh , that ' ll be nice for her ! ' the career sort of took off with modeling and my sister tanis joined in and we used to do a ton of modeling for magazines and catalogues . when twiggy came to town , i was in a show with her . i have a front - page newspaper clipping of me , with my hair really short , and there i am with twiggy in the same show . we had a lot of fun . she was such an icon at the time - - this must have been 1966 maybe ? - - and she was lovely . she was really sweet and very , very shy . we just kept staring at her , you know , because we all wanted to look like twiggy , although some of us were not destined and i was one of those . ( laugh ) i wasn ' t going to be a stick no matter what i did .\nbeing back in canada ultimately provided montgomery with further career opportunities as an actress . she landed the lead role in the cbc television special\nhey , cinderella !\n( 1968 ) , an adaptation of the classic fairy tale .\ncinderella\nwas notable for being directed by jim henson and featuring early appearances of his legendary muppets , especially kermit the frog . as she recalls ,\ni ' d go to the cbc to visit my dad , because he was doing a couple of series there , and somebody said , ' you know , belinda would be really good for this show ' barney boomer . ' what do you think ? ' and i don ' t know if i even auditioned for it , but the show was a kids\u2019 show in the afternoon and it was a lot of fun . so i did that for , i don ' t know , a year or a year and a half and then i was working with jim henson in his tv special ' hey , cinderella ! ' he came in from new york , i think , or from l . a . i was 17 years old when i did that . there was a big audition for it and every actor my age went down there to read for it . i was lucky enough to get it . it was so much fun and he was such a lovely man . he was just charming and laid - back and there was never any stress on the set . i believe that that show was where he introduced kermit the frog and the character really developed from there . and so kermit was sitting there espousing what he had to say in such a tongue - in - cheek manner that the dialogue also spoke to adults on a different level , which was unheard of in children ' s programming back then . and the wonderful frank oz was my dog rufus in that show ! he was so delightful and sometimes , when the camera would stop , we might be sitting there and rufus would be saying something to me and i ' d be sitting there talking to rufus and then , ' wait a minute ! frank ! what are we doing ? i ' m talking to a muppet here ! we ' re having a conversation ! ' frank would stay in - character and just kept the conversation going through rufus and it was lovely . he was just a delightful man and , of course , he went on to complete anonymity ! ( laugh )\nwhen i was working on ' hey , cinderella ! ' i found it very easy to maintain that suspension of disbelief and really believe in the muppets as real characters and as actors in the scene , especially with the evil sisters in the show . they were also muppets and they were just so funny . joyce gordon was a wonderful fairy godmother , she was a well known canadian actress , she was just terrific . pat galloway played the evil wicked stepmother and she had been a great theatrical actress . we just had the best time ever . jerry nelson played featherstone and he also did the voice of stepsister # 2 . he was a brilliant guy . we had such a wonderful time shooting it . we shot this show at laurence productions in toronto . i remember having a meal break or something where they couldn ' t take the time to get me out of my cinderella costume . so i said , ' why don ' t i just go like this ? ' so i took my wand and i had my diamond tiara on along with my ball gown - - it was after the fairy godmother had changed me into the princess in the storyline - - and there i am going down the street with frank oz and jerry nelson to a cafe with me dressed up as cinderella . when we walked in , it was like an apparition had walked in . people sort of did a double - take like ' am i dreaming ? have i had too much to drink ? ' i loved doing that , of course , being a teenager and startling people , so that was a lot of fun ."]}

union payroll situations , but some will apply to union cast and crew as well .\nmatthew keller didn\u2019t notice the undercover ice agents until they had his client , antonio garc\u00eda , in handcuffs . as soon as he realized what was happening , the attorney with the meyer law firm pulled out his cell phone and started filming the arrest , which occurred on may 5 .\nthis is part of a series of book excerpts from the independent filmmaker ' s law and business guide : financing , shooting , and distributing independent and digital films designed to introduce filmmakers and others interested in creating content on the legal issues involved in the filmmaking process .\non the other hand , if the size of the project increases or if investors are brought in , it is very important that the filmmaker switch to a formal business entity . the worst choice is to ignore the problem and have the law treat the project as a general partnership . the decision to switch need not be made immediately . tax laws allow the sole proprietor to exchange the business for the assets of a new entity without paying a tax penalty . 2 but from the outset of the film project , the filmmaker should have the business management in mind , and she should work with a lawyer and accountant as early as possible so that the necessary business entity can be created when the filmmaker is ready .\nif you think you are likely to cause an obstruction then you need to apply to film via the appropriate local authority , however we strongly recommend that you always inform the relevant borough film service if you are filming on their streets . if the local authority is not aware that you will be filming in the area then you can be asked to stop . if a member of the public complains and you don ' t have permission to film , then you may be asked to move on by police . some local authorities provide notices of no objection for small crew filming .\nthe required filings\u2014the articles of organization\u2014are often one - page fill - in - the - blank forms that must be submitted , along with a tax payment , to the secretary of state in the state in which the film company will be located . while simple to fill out , the articles of organization provide no information about how the business should be run . so in addition to this certificate , a film company llc should have a written , signed operating agreement that serves as the articles and bylaws of the organization .\nmulti - tiered audience : an audience of different types of people who find the film attractive for different reasons , and who must be reached by different publicity , promotion or ads .\nslicks : standardized ad mechanicals , printed on glossy paper , which include various sizes of display ads for a given film , designed for the insertion of local theater information as needed .\nin many states , the operating agreement may simply indicate that the manager\u2014the filmmaker\u2014has sole management authority , that there will be no meetings , and that the profits and losses will be shared in a specified manner between the manager and the other members of the llc . investors in the film company , however , may not wish to give such unbridled discretion to the filmmaker , particularly over the raising of capital or other financial decisions . one of the primary benefits of the llc is the opportunity to shape the business entity to reflect the nature of the investors\u2019 interests and the filmmaker\u2019s needs . because the filmmaker needs to encourage investment in the film\u2014a very risky investment\u2014the filmmaker should provide operational protections for the investor as a way of encouraging investment and demonstrating responsibility regarding the enterprise .\ntest marketing : pre - releasing a film in one or more small , representative markets before committing to an advertising campaign . the effectiveness of the marketing plan can thereby be assessed and modified as needed before the general release .\nbreak : to open a film in several theaters simultaneously , either in and around a single city or in a group of cities , or on a national basis .\nwesterns are the major defining genre of the american film industry , a nostalgic eulogy to the early days of the expansive , untamed american frontier ( the borderline between civilization and the wilderness ) . they are one of the oldest , most enduring and flexible genres and one of the most characteristically american genres in their mythic origins .\nmcgovern was approached by the mother of a teenager campaigning against the law who believes it has led to many injustices . his tv drama , about the stabbing murder of a teenager , has a fine cast , including jodhi may , robert pugh , sir michael gambon and daniel mays .\ngeneral partners : management side of a limited partnership ( the position usually occupied by the film ' s producers ) which structures a motion picture investment and raises money from investors who become limited partners . general partners make the business decisions regarding the partnership .\nin the us , a notice was required to retain copyright on works published before january 1st 1978 , but this was the exception not the norm , and is certainly no longer the case . also , once the us signed up to the berne convention , us law was amended , and the use of copyright notices became optional on work published from march 1st 1989 .\nplatforming : a method of release whereby a film is opened in a single theater or small group of theaters in region and later expands to a greater number of theaters .\npeople described above who also perform promotional or advertising work , or provide promotional or advertising services ( on - set or off - set ) in relation to the film or video game production .\ncommon law wife ,\na made - in - texas drive - in quickie directed by exploitation maestro larry buchanan (\nmars needs women ,\netc . ) has it all : inept cinematography , bad acting , dubbing that ' s reminiscent of a sir run run shaw production , and , best of all , twisted , hate - filled characters like lusty old uncle shug , who wants to get rid of his aging common law wife , a shrieking harridan played by anne mcadams ( who would go on to have a lengthy career ) , so he can shack up with his niece , jonelle , who wants to get rid of him - - permanent - like ! jonelle ( stripper name : baby doll ) has been takin ' it all off in new orleans , and damn if they didn ' t cast a real stripper in the part ! no nudity here , just your garden variety sleaze and down - home depravity . they don ' t make ' em like this any more , which is either a good thing or a bad thing . . .\nlondon is divided into 33 separate boroughs and each has its own borough film service ( bfs ) to deal with filming requests for all local authority managed locations . these include :\ni love usa network . i mean lets face it , psych , burn notice , suits , white collar , etc . but they ' ve also had a few horrible shows . covert affairs anyone ? horrible ! i forced myself to watch that and still couldn ' t pay attention to its horrible plot . either way , i ' m getting off topic . common law is an amazing show . not too many shows / movies can make me bust out laughing while i ' m watching them by my lonesome . this , however , does an amazing job at that . of course the overall plot has been done before ; what hasn ' t , it ' s tv . you ' re bound to run out of ideas sooner or later . the white guy with a black sidekick or vice versa has been already , but regardless of that , this does a great job at entertaining . i can ' t wait to see more . overall , common law is a great show , great characters , as far as i can tell from the first 2 episodes , great relationships between the two main characters and the couples counseling thing is just hilarious . definitely worth the time !\nalmost all the essential elements or conventions of typical westerns were included : good guys vs . bad guys , a robbery or wrong - doing , a chase or pursuit , and a final showdown , all in a natural setting . the film ended ( or began ) with a stunning close - up ( the first ! ) of a gunman ( george barnes ) firing directly into the camera - and audience . it was the most commercially successful film of the pre - nickelodeon era .\nthe operating agreement establishes the rules for managing and operating the business . many of its provisions are common to every llc , and these provisions will be found in virtually every form book . they establish the name and place of business of the llc , regulate the admission and removal of participants , and provide for maintenance of capital accounts , terminations , and transfers of interest . nonetheless , there are a few additional issues of particular concern for the filmmaker .\nletterbox : a process of film - to - video transfer that maintains the original film aspect ratio by matting the top and the bottom of the screen with black bars . standard tv\u2019s have an aspect ratio of 1 . 33 ( 4 / 3 ) , while contemporary feature films have such aspect ratios of 1 . 66 , 1 . 83 , 1 . 85 , 2 . 33 and 2 . 35 . the more conventional transfer process is called pan & scan .\nbut the tone of city officials quickly changed when the meyer law firm published a video that captured undercover ice agents stalking the hallways of the lindsey flanigan courthouse on february 16 . after the video was released , city prosecutors had to drop nine domestic - violence cases after witnesses , presumably undocumented , said they were afraid to show up to court .\ncolor temperature : the color in degrees kelvin ( k ) of a light source . the higher the color temperature ; the bluer the light , the lower the temperature , the redder the light .\ndouble distribution fees : occurs when a distributor uses a sub - distributor to sell a film . if multiple distributors are allowed to deduct their full fees , the filmmaker is less likely to see any money .\nfor many independent filmmakers , the llc is the best choice for forming a film production company . it can be taxed as either a corporation or a partnership , and its operating agreement is more flexible than corporate bylaws for structuring the film company\u2019s operations , but it limits personal liability as effectively as a corporation . another advantage of the llc and partnership forms is the ability to allocate gain , loss , deductions , and credits to participants in a way that maximizes their value to investors .\nattorney advertising : the information provided in this new hampshire law firm web site is for informational purposes only and does not offer legal advice . use of this web site or e - mail does not establish an attorney - client relationship . past performance does not guarantee future results .\nthe terms of the film project llc should establish that the company\u2019s activities are limited to the particular motion picture . the company is managed by the umbrella llc , so the operating agreement should be very clear regarding the authority of the manager\u2014the managing company must have sufficient latitude to make the movie and clear direction regarding its authority to operate , and the role of the investor - members should generally be limited . this does not mean that the filmmakers are not obliged to update investors regarding finances , production , or distribution plans .\nyou should also ensure that you have the right to exploit secondary rights . for example , when you acquired permission to use a song in your film , did you also get permission to include it in a soundtrack ?\nthe introduction of characters , the facts of the murder and its defence , the arrest of the accused , the implausibility of a wife\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s testimony in support of a husband and the ammunition to be used for the defence are all prologue to the final 30 minutes of the film . however , the final 30 minutes are what make this movie a classic . \u00e2 it can be enjoyed by anyone who may be frustrated with the modern phenomenon of criminal investigations resolving everything without a trial .\nto maximise revenue the distributor is likely to want the right to sell the full range of media . this will include standard tv , pay tv , interactive tv , online transmission and video / dvd . the distributor may also look for secondary rights in the programme or film , such as merchandising , soundtrack etc .\nstills : photographs taken during production for use later in advertising and / or publicity . stills should be in a horizontal format , and should list such information as film title , producer / director and cast below the photo .\nretroactive pay is a delayed payment for work which has already been completed . the most common reason is ongoing labor negotiations . while negotiations are being reached , the employer continues to pay the employees at their established rate . when the negotiations are over , and there is a clause that entitles the employees to a wage increase on a set date , the employer is required to make up the difference with a retroactive pay check . media services calculates all retroactive payments for its clients , based on union agreements .\nnot long into the common low , constance bennett strips just off screen in a memorable expression of pre - code sexuality . the display is relatively tame , but under joseph breen , even suggested nudity was unwelcome in hollywood . director paul l . stein titillates the audience with a shot of bennett\u2019s naked leg just before pulling the camera back far enough so that he can show her figure using only distance and clever blocking to obscure her body . beyond the scene\u2019s appeal in its unabashed eroticism , it is a fitting entrance for a woman who is wrought to be modern and appealingly unapologetic . she has live - in relationships with at least two separate men over the course of the film , which was undoubtedly worthy of\u2026\nusually , the central plot of the western film is the classic , simple goal of maintaining law and order on the frontier in a fast - paced action story . it is normally rooted in archetypal conflict - good vs . bad , virtue vs . evil , white hat vs . black hat , man vs . man , new arrivals vs . native americans ( inhumanely portrayed as savage indians ) , settlers vs . indians , humanity vs . nature , civilization vs . wilderness or lawlessness , schoolteachers vs . saloon dance - hall girls , villains vs . heroes , lawman or sheriff vs . gunslinger , social law and order vs . anarchy , the rugged individualist vs . the community , the cultivated east vs . west , settler vs . nomad , and farmer vs . industrialist to name a few . often the hero of a western meets his opposite\ndouble ,\na mirror of his own evil side that he has to destroy .\nmeyer suspects that the data represents only a fraction of all ice arrests in colorado that occurred over those seven months . \u201cmy suspicion is that it\u2019s not even close , \u201d he says after reviewing the foia documents . \u201cwe\u2019ve probably represented thirty people in detention in those seven months , and we\u2019re just one law firm . \u201d\na key provision in any composer agreement is the section that addresses the ownership rights in the music . in a typical composer agreement , the producer and the composer agree in a signed writing that the music created and recorded by the composer is deemed to be a\nwork for hire\n, and that the producer owns all rights in such , including both the underlying music and the recording . this provision also states that , if for any reason the music created and recorded by the composer is not deemed a\nwork for hire\nunder federal copyright law , the parties agree that the composer has transferred all rights in and to the music , as well as the recordings of the music , to the producer .\nwith feature films , first time producers are often shocked by the tiny percentage of revenue they actually see from distribution . the exhibitors ( cinemas ) will deduct almost half of the revenue off the top and then from the balance comes off the distributor ' s commission and costs before any of the investors in the film start to recoup their investment . only after the investors recoup does the producer see any profit . most low - budget feature films in the uk never reach the stage of generating a profit .\nthe first feature - length western was lawrence b . mcgill ' s six - reel arizona ( 1913 ) . the first film to feature an all - native american cast was hiawatha ( 1913 ) , made by the colonial motion picture corporation and based on longfellow ' s poem .\nthe undersigned further acknowledges that in the event of any breach by company of this certificate , the undersigned will be limited to the undersigned ' s remedy at law for damages ( if any ) and will not have the right to terminate or rescind this certificate or to enjoin the distribution , exploitation or advertising of the picture or any materials in connection therewith , that nothing herein shall obligate company to use the undersigned ' s services or the work in the picture or to produce , distribute or advertise the picture , and that this certificate shall be governed by the laws of the state of new york .\nthe second agreement is much more composer - friendly . it is not a work for hire agreement . instead , the composer merely grants the filmmaker the right to use the music in his movie and retains all other rights , except that the composer agrees not to license the music for another full length film for a period of time . in addition , the second contract limits the time that the filmmaker can make the composer make changes to two days after the composer delivers the final mix . it also provides for a\nkill fee\nif the filmmaker decides that the music delivered by the composer is unacceptable .\nunder the ccpa ( consumer credit protection act ) earnings , for the purpose of defining disposable pay include salaries , commissions , bonuses or other compensation . they also include payments to a retirement and pension program . disposable pay is not net pay . net pay is the result of subtracting all deductions from gross pay . disposable pay is derived by deducting from gross pay all deductions required by law , including federal and state taxes . not included is deductions for health insurance , retirement plans , credit unions , bonds , other wage attachments and voluntary deductions . the computation for disposable pay varies from state to state . where state and federal differ , employees are protected by whichever law is the most protective of the employee .\nforeign sales : licensing a film in various territories and media outside the u . s . and canada . although canada is a foreign country , american distributors typically acquire english - speaking canadian rights when they license u . s . rights .\nfinally , the operating agreement should set forth all the structures for recoupment of investments and profit participation , as well as the fees paid to the umbrella llc for the management of the film project . while the operating agreement does not take the place of financial disclosure documentation , the two documents will closely resemble each other in many regards . this should allow the attorney to draft the two documents together , saving time and money . and since the operating agreement works as a blueprint for the operations of the company , it should also make it easier for the filmmakers to meet their obligations to their investors .\nwindow : period of time in which a film is available in a given medium . some windows may be open - ended , such as theatrical and home video , or limited , such as pay television or syndication .\n' bad films ' : one - and - a - half - star ( out of five ) film ratings by ' the motion picture guide ' ( jay robert nash and stanley ralph ross , cinebooks , inc . ; 1927 - 1983 )\nopportunities have never been greater for generating revenue from the exploitation of film and television rights . producers have more media than ever over which to deliver content to consumers . it is important to get distribution deals right so that exploitation generates rewards for the producer as well as the\nmiddle men .\nthe key terms of a contract between a film producer and a composer are : ( i ) whether the composer will be responsible for recording as well as writing the music ; ( ii ) the fee payable to the composer ; ( iii ) the time schedule for the delivery of the music ; ( iv ) the composer ' s credit ; ( v ) how a composer would be compensated if there is a soundtrack album ; and importantly , ( vi ) the permitted use and ownership of the music itself .\na second risk flows from the need to draft an operating agreement for each llc . as with a corporation , standardized llc operating agreements found in form books may not be appropriate for independent filmmakers . each company will have its own investment strategies , distribution plans , and expectations regarding sequels and other projects , and these specifics should be reflected in the operating agreement . some productions , for example , will restrict the movement of additional capital into the llc to protect the original investors . ( more often , however , film investors are not concerned about the size of other parties\u2019 investments , as long as all the funds raised are used exclusively to make the film . )\nfinal cut : the last stage in the editing process . the right to final cut is the right to determine the final version of the picture . usually the studio or the financier of a picture retains final cut .\nfilming the exterior of a building does not infringe its copyright . this means that you do not need copyright from the building ' s owner to film its exterior but you may need to get permission from the relevant authority or property owner based on where you have physically placed your camera in order to shoot .\ncompletion bond : a form of insurance , which guarantees financing to complete a film in the event that the producer exceeds the budget . completion bonds are sometimes required by banks and investors to secure loans and investments in a production . should a bond be invoked , the completion guarantor may assume control over the production and be in a recoupment position superior to all investors .\n70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the last remaining author of the work dies . *\ni bought this because it contains some rare films , at least on dvd . it is the only version of\nthe common law\ni have come across , for instance . however , the picture quality on these dvds is not good . focus is soft , and they lack details . don ' t know if they were taken from video tapes , or 16mm prints , if they used a soften / unsharp filter to compensate other quality problems , or they just did a 2nd rate job with the scans . but regardless of why , these do not have the video quality i expect from dvds . not alpha video bad , but not warner archive acceptable either . if this were a discount set , i would have given it a better rating . but the set is not cheap , and i expect more when paying for more . buy this only if the softness of the video is acceptable to you at this price ."]}

, however , it has always bothered me that shohei\u2019s relationship with his wife did not take a more central role . of course , their marriage is shown as important to the story , and hideko hara gives a good performance as the rather spurned wife masako . however , she seems almost always to be pushed aside for the centrality of dance , or shohei\u2019s relationship with mai or toyoko . at the end of the film , the main tension is not about shohei reconciling with masako , but rather whether shohei will go and see mai one last time . the impression , then , is to make it seem as if shohei\u2019s fleeting relationship with mai is actually more important than the lifelong commitment he has made to his wife . further , masako is mostly cut off from shohei\u2019s dance activities throughout the film , and she is treated more as someone who exists in order to ultimately encourage shohei to live his life rather than someone whose feelings really matter very much . shohei never confesses to masako that his dance passion was initially enflamed by an extramarital lust for mai , and when he \u201cmakes up\u201d with his wife towards the end , the main purpose of the reconciliation seems just as much to be a means to reignite shohei\u2019s interest in dance ( which he gives up for a time ) as it is to reconnect with his wife . the blas\u00e9 way in which shohei and masako\u2019s relationship is treated in the film is the biggest flaw in the film , in my opinion .\nour family doesn ' t go to the movies until we go online and check out your assessment of a given film . i think this is the best christian media review website that i ' ve found , and i recommend it to my family and friends . keep up the good work !\nit takes an awful lot of fancy footwork from mr . suo to sustain the idea that the main source of his characters ' excitement is the rhumba . but the cheery , squeaky - clean ' ' shall we dance ?

most of us , i suspect . shall we dance ? is not a movie about dancing . it is about learning about ourselves , recognising what we are looking for in life and having the courage to go in search of it . mr sugiyama is a middle - aged member of a japanese society where ballroom dancing is viewed as unsuitable behaviour . one day mr sugiyama sees a beautiful girl leaning out of the window of a dancing acadamy . he is fascinated by her and eventually signs up for dancing lessons . he is ashamed of his dancing and afraid of ridicule . he hides the fact that he is attending dancing classes from his colleagues and family . there is a hilarious scene in the mensroom at the office when sugiyama and watanabe , a workmate who also dances , are interrupted practising some dance steps . there are many other funny and warm - hearted scenes . the ending is not a fairytale , but it leaves the viewer feeling good . this movie helped me to understand the japanese people a little better . it is a warm and very worthwhile film to see .\nthe dancers in the film get together at a local watering hole after their lessons and discuss what they ' re doing as if they ' re training for guerrilla warfare . this is dance as an act of nonconformity , and they ' re exhilarated that they have the guts to take part in it .\nside # 1 - - 1 . to dance or not to dance [ 2 : 34 ] 2 . mr . suglyama , workaholic [ 6 : 19 ] 3 . two left feet [ 11 : 35 ] 4 . group lessons [ 3 : 58 ] 5 .\none - trick rumba\n[ 7 : 31 ] 6 . free consultation [ 4 : 59 ] 7 . sensei [ 3 : 43 ] 8 . not giving up [ 4 : 04 ] 9 . too good to dance [ 8 : 40 ] 10 . toyoko ' s breakdown [ 1 : 05 ] 11 . no hesitation [ 6 : 34 ] 12 . reason to dance [ 6 : 06 ] 13 . amateur competition [ 3 : 40 ] 14 . waltzing for an audience [ 10 : 00 ] 15 . letter from mai [ 6 : 09 ] 16 . apologies accepted [ 7 : 14 ] 17 .\nshall we dance ?\n[ 8 : 54 ] 18 . credits [ 4 : 02 ]\ni tend not to be drawn to films described as ' heartwarming ' .

night storm cancels trick - or - treating , urkel cheers up a disappointed richie by playing pass the ghost story . everyone takes turns telling a story about 19th - century vampires ( carl and harriette ) licking their chops over the wayfaring sir steven ( urkel ) .\nbeing a huge fan of movies such as ,\nthe old dark house\nfrom 1932 , with charles laughton and boris karloff , and\none body too many\nfrom 1944 with bela lugosi , i was anxious to see how the director would pay homage to those films and others in it ' s genre . i found the movie entertaining , with lots of quick witted dialogue , great atmosphere and a respectful spoof of the great classic murder mysteries from the 30 ' s , 40 ' s and 50 ' s . if you are a fan of more recent murder mystery movies with a comedic dark side , such as\nclue\n,\nmurder by death\nor\nthe cheap detective\n, then you will enjoy this film . the dvd offers the film in both black and white and in color , however , in my opinion , much of the allure and chemistry of the film is lost in the color version . a good film overall and one that i would recommend for anyone looking for a fun little night of murder in an old dark house .\nthere ' s comfort in over -

dark and stormy night is my favorite of larry blamires movies ( although you should definitely watch all of them - they are all great ) , one of my favorite movies period , and at very least deserves for you to check it out .\ndown -

- - seventies superstar rajesh khanna and the actor destiny had singled out to be his successor , amitabh bachchan .\nmay talk a lot about the clash of opposing economic ideologies , but it works essentially because of the ever morphing human relationship between its two pivots .\nthe film begins with the promise of a prolonged flashback : vicky ( amitabh ) , sporting a dash of grey in his hair , has been just released from jail . he is received by a sympatico nisha ( simi ) who , we learn as the spools unravel , was born with a golden spoon but propagates socialism .\non reaching home , vicky meditates over somu ' s ( rajesh khanna ) garlanded photograph . it does not leave you with much guess work about his character ' s culmination , but it is the perfect cue for a flashback .\nsomu , a middle - class youth , and millionaire vicky belong to two different strata of society . they are held together by their friendship . they wear identical shirts , share a whiskey bottle , lust after the same courtesan , and even do a stint of work for the same firm .\nunfortunately , the short - tempered vicky gets embroiled in a spat with his moneybag father ' s ( om shivpuri ' s ) employee bipinlal ( a k hangal ) . bipinlal , a union leader , announces a strike . at his dad ' s insistence , a seething vicky reluctantly apologises to bipinlal .\na disturbed somu hatches a plot to avenge vicky ' s humiliation . he poses as a labourer called chander , lives in the workers '\n, and starts working in vicky ' s factory , to displace bipinlal as the leader .\nhereafter , the story takes what one could possibly call a commercial break . somu gets sentimental about a song penned by the cynical\nsomu then wins the workers ' confidence after vicky concedes to somu ' s demands for a bonus . bipinlal loses the union election to somu . an elated vicky wants to celebrate the momentous occasion with a glass of chivas regal . but somu is too busy contemplating the morality of gulping down a\nsomu ' s sympathies are now genuinely with the workers . vicky , subconsciously influenced by his father ' s views that the middle class is ambitious and unreliable , begins to see somu as a\nvicky ' s father , the master puppeteer , now delivers two blows . he blows somu ' s cover and later gets him mowed down by a truck . revolted by his father ' s ruthlessness , vicky claims he masterminded the killing and hands himself to the police .\n' s dialogue makes abundant references to the class distinctions , the greedy capitalist , the role of politicians in encouraging discord and appeals for a more orderly world and a more even distribution of wealth , albeit without offering any concrete solutions .\nit may ostensibly be a story about the class war but it is no dry economic treatise . the film is juiced up by its exploration of the mercurial yet binding relationship between the two friends .\nsomu ' s pain at his divided loyalties and the conflict of interests are well brought out by hrishikesh mukherjee . so is the blend of love and hate that defines vicky ' s relationship with his father . after destroying his father ' s dreams , vicky says with all sincerity :\ndad ,\nmukherjee does take his time to get the story off the ground . the development of the friendship and the boisterous scenes could have been more interestingly portrayed . also , the shifts from scene to scene is puzzlingly old fashioned . the women sadly remain on the fringes .\nrajesh khanna plays the conventional hero with charm and a sense for the grand gesture .\nbut amitabh has a definite edge over him in this closely fought clash of the titans .\nthe film offers an early glimpse of amitabh ' s intensity and his ability to play a role with uncanny authority . watch him thunder at om shivpuri when he first gets to know of his attack on rajesh :\njo kuch bhi hua , woh mere aure uske beech mein hai , koi teesra beech main aaya toh [ whatever happened , that is between him and me . if a third comes between us ]\nif i were to single out one amitabh scene , it would be his expression of impotent anger as he relives rajesh ' s humiliation at the hands of the union leader . there are tears when he turns around and rarely have tears seemed more real on the hindi screen .\n* most of amitabh ' s solo portions were shot before busy star rajesh khanna began shooting for the film .\n* hrishikesh mukherjee worked for the first time with the anand bakshi - r d burman combination and was rewarded with three hit kishore kumar songs . though gulzar didn ' t get a chance to pen the lyrics , he wrote some easily accessible and scathing dialogues .\n* it was the rare occasion when asha ' s sister usha mangeshkar got an opportunity to duet with asha .\nkai kodutha deivam -

club production . he enjoyed the experience so much that he decided to become an actor .\neli wallach , who died on tuesday at the age of 98 , was an actor whose working - class demeanor often led to typecasting and character parts on the big screen . onstage , where he began his career and continued to work well into old age , his career was considerably more diverse , with significant roles in plays by tennessee williams and clifford odets .\n\u201ci used to like to come into the room when eli was being interviewed and say , \u2018i have very sad news , \u2019 \u201d annie says as we sit down to dinner . \u201c \u2018our relationship is not going to work out . we\u2019re finished . \u2019 \u201d\nnew york \u2013 as a masterful character actor and early product of postwar , method - style theater , eli wallach wore countless faces , disappearing into them all . but he was always propelled \u2013 in acting and in life \u2013 by a mischievousness and an abiding playfulness that made him a tireless performer , an enduring family man , and , of course , one immortal scoundrel .\neli wallach , the award - winning american actor who helped bring the method to the movies , has died at the age of 98 . his death on tuesday was confirmed to the new york times by his daughter , katherine . in a career spanning six decades , he remains best known for his roles in the magnificent seven and the good , the bad and the ugly .\nwallach also graced tv with various roles , both on dramatic specials and such series as 77 sunset strip .\nnew york ( ap ) \u2014 as a masterful character actor and early product of postwar , method - style theater , eli wallach wore countless faces , disappearing into them all . but he was always propelled \u2014 in acting and in life \u2014 by a mischievousness and an abiding playfulness that made him a tireless performer , an enduring family man and , of course , one immortal scoundrel .\nit\u2019s worth remembering the comically long list of crimes read to eli wallach \u2019s tuco ramirez in the opening scene of the good , the bad and the ugly , as he stands with a rope around his neck waiting to be hanged . although wallach took on the role in sergio leone\u2019s classic spaghetti western without knowing that he would be named as the ugly in the title , that cavalcade of misdemeanours left the movie audiences of 1966 in no doubt just how cut - throat this character really was .\nmost of the villains uncle eli played were considerably more hot - blooded , like the bandit calvera in \u201cthe magnificent seven , \u201d shot dead in a scene that mortified his young son , peter \u2014 \u201cdad , how could you not outdraw yul brynner ? \u201d \u2014 and that , at least according to wallach lore , displeased his father , abe , when it drew cheers from the audience .\nwallach died tuesday evening from natural causes after 98 years of life , 66 years of marriage and some 100 films , including several he made in his 90s . his son , peter wallach , confirmed his death wednesday .\nwallach died tuesday evening from natural causes after 98 years of life , 66 years of marriage and some 100 films , including several he made in his 90s . his son , peter wallach , confirmed his passing wednesday .\nborn in december 1915 , wallach grew in brooklyn to become an instantly recognisable hollywood star despite his humble beginnings .\nfrom his 1956 film debut in\nbaby doll\nto his small , scene - stealing performance in 2010 as an elderly banker with a long memory of financial doom in\nwall street : money never sleeps ,\nthe character he was building wasn ' t eli wallach on the public stage . he was too absorbed in the project of animating a part to concern himself with his own celebrity standing .\nthe holiday\n( 2006 ) : wallach didn ' t always play tough guys . in nancy meyers ' christmasy romantic comedy , he played a kindly old man who was once a famous screenwriter during hollywood ' s golden age . wallach ' s costar kate winslet would later declare wallach her\nvery own sexiest man alive\nat a gala honoring him .\nborn on december 7 , 1915 , eli wallach served in the u . s . army during world war ii . he made his broadway debut in 1945 . he won a tony award for 1951 & apos ;

[ at this juncture wallach asked osborne if he could share something . ] the music in movies always impressed me . ready ? [ he pulled out a birthday card that\u2014when opened\u2014played morricone ' s theme song to the good , the bad and the ugly . ] osborne : that ' s great . wallach : [ coyly ] you ' re a treat .\neli wallach was born in red hook , brooklyn , on dec . 7 , 1915 , the son of abraham wallach , who owned a candy store in the neighborhood , and the former bertha schorr . he graduated from erasmus hall high school in brooklyn and attended the university of texas at austin ( \u201cbecause the tuition was $ 30 a year , \u201d he once said ) , where he also learned to ride horses \u2014 a skill he would put to good use in westerns . after graduation he returned to new york and earned a master\u2019s degree in education at city college , with the intention of becoming a teacher like his brother and two sisters .\nhowever despite his glittering movie career wallach admitted his most popular role was playing baddie mr freeze in two episode\u2019s of batman on tv in 1967 .\nalthough he is best known for playing mexican characters in westerns , wallach was actually a polish jew in real life and had no hispanic ancestry .\nit was on the small screen that i learned to recognize him , and shout , \u201chey , it\u2019s uncle eli ! \u201d at the screen . ( though i did the same thing the first time i saw \u201cmystic river , \u201d in which his single - scene cameo as a loquacious liquor store owner is uncredited . ) my youthful eli epiphany , after seeing him in a few plays that i didn\u2019t understand at all , came when i saw him as mr . freeze , scheming against burt ward and adam west on the old \u201cbatman\u201d television series . ( i suppose it is my scholarly duty to note that otto preminger also played that role , and of course arnold schwarzenegger did too , but in my entirely dispassionate judgment they hardly measure up . )\nwallach and his wife , anne jackson , were married in 1948 , \u201cwhen israel became a state \u2014 and we\u2019re still here 56 years later . \u201d\nhe , his wife anne jackson and their daughter , roberta wallach , all made guest appearances in different episodes of law & order ( 1990 ) .\nwilliams provided wallach with some of his best roles in the theatre , and wrote the screenplay for baby doll ( 1956 ) , in which wallach made his film debut , aged 40 . wallach even turned down the part of maggio in from here to eternity ( 1953 ) , which won frank sinatra an oscar , in order to do williams ' s camino real on stage , directed by elia kazan . conversely , in 1990 , wallach took over the role of altobello , the close friend of the corleones , in the godfather part iii , when sinatra could not fit it into his schedule .\nthe volatility that characterized much of ms . jackson and mr . wallach\u2019s stage work often carried over into their dressing rooms . the couple in 1973 .\neven wallach ' s characteristic smirk had range : it was equally perfect for a devious villain or for an underdog who had just beaten the odds .\nthe news of his death is sad , but in recalling names like these , wallach knew he had enjoyed a great life with his brilliant talent .\nafter two years of army service during world war ii , wallach debuted on broadway in 1945 and won a tony award for tennessee williams\u2019s 1951 the rose tattoo . williams also wrote the script for wallach\u2019s movie debut , the 1956 baby doll , costarring carroll baker and karl malden and directed by elia kazan .\nwallach brought an unnerving angst to the ranch hand guido , who pines for monroe ' s beautiful divorc\u00e9e despite her involvement with gable ' s aging cowboy .\nwallach ' s personal life , he added , was more placid and law - abiding : he loved collecting antique clocks , watching tennis and telling stories .\nnoticing his stirring performance at the martin beck theater in the rose tattoo , kazan cast wallach in baby doll , whose screenplay also was written by williams .\nvitale : sitting in his upper west side apartment when he was 95 - years - old , eli wallach recalled growing up in brooklyn where his parents owned a candy store . during world war ii he served as an army officer in hawaii , casa blanca and france . after the war she studied method acting as an original member of the actor studio in new york . he met his wife actress anne jackson while he was auditioning for the role of a teenager in another williams play . 65 years later they still finish each other ' s sentences .\nit didn ' t take long for wallach to achieve a sort of immortality by playing the villain , again , in the magnificent seven . this landmark western , adapted from akira kurosawa ' s seven samurai , had wallach as the bandit leader , calvera , from who the seven aim to protect the hapless mexicans .\n\u201ci\u2019ve played more bandits , thieves , killers , warlords , molesters and mafiosi that you could shake a stick at , \u201d wallach said , accepting the award from eastwood . wallach\u2019s personal life , he added , was more placid and law - abiding : he loved collecting antique clocks , watching tennis and telling stories .\nwallach lost the sight in his left eye as a result of a stroke which in his 2005 autobiography , he described the incident as happening \u201csome years ago\u201d .\noddly , wallach often played mexican bandits in movies , most memorably in 1960\u2019s the magnificent seven , in which his ornery character threatened steve mcqueen and yul brynner .\nwallach is survived by his wife , anne jackson , and their three children peter , roberta , and katherine , five grandchildren , and several great - grandchildren .\nin 2010 , wallach received an honorary oscar for a 60 - year career that included a memorable role as a mafia don in the godfather : part iii .\nat the neighborhood playhouse school of the theatre in 1938 , his fellow students were tony randall , gregory peck and efrem zimbalist . during a rehearsal for g . b . shaw\u2019s \u201cmajor barbara , \u201d charles laughton admonished wallach : \u201c\u2018no stanislavsky crap from you ! \u2019\u201d berkowitz asked : \u201cwhat\u2019s the [ stanislavsky ] method ? \u201d wallach replied : \u201ci wish i knew . \u201d as for his father\u2019s reaction to his becoming an actor , wallach recalled : \u201cfrom this you make a living ? \u201d\nlike most people in their 90s , he tends to reminisce a lot , and to revisit certain themes and stories . if he drops a word or forgets a name or a title ( \u201cthe picture i did in cambodia , with peter o\u2019toole . . . \u201d ) someone will fill in the blank ( \u201clord jim\u201d ) , either a visiting film critic or one of eli\u2019s children or , most often , aunt annie .\nwallach followed this up with the misfits , for john huston , which turned out to be the last film for both monroe and clark gable . wallach ' s supporting role , as guido , saw him carry a torch for monroe ' s rosalyn .\ni ' m out of my mind with waitin ' . . .\nwallach played sakini for a year in the london cast of\nteahouse of the august moon .\namong the aspiring young actors from the royal academy of dramatic arts who worked backstage with scenery were alan bates , peter o ' toole , and albert finney . wallach later succeeded david wayne in the part in the broadway production .\nboth kazan and wallach were founder members of the actors studio in 1947 , among whom were marlon brando , rod steiger and karl malden .\nwe were like converts to a new religion ,\nwallach recalled .\nwe didn ' t understand anyone else ' s acting except our own . everyone else was a pagan .\nionesco ' s rhinoceros and murray schisgal ' s absurdist comedy luv were further examples of wallach ' s enthusiasm for the off - beat rather than the safe choice .\nas usual , wallach brought nuance to what could have been a one - note role , infusing the silk - shirted , gold - toothed villain with menacing charm .\nwallach was associated with the character so deeply that passersby would whistle the film ' s musical theme ( by ennio morricone ) in his presence for decades to follow .\nlord jim\n( 1965 ) : wallach starred opposite another big star , peter o ' toole , in richard brooks ' three - hour epic based on the novel by joseph conrad . o ' toole played the disgraced english seaman of the title , and wallach once again portrayed a villain , the warlord known as the general .\n\u201cwe were the only jewish family in red hook in a sea of italians , \u201d said wallach , who was born in new york\u2019s little italy . when the director of the [ 1967 movie ] \u201cthe good , the bad and the ugly\u201d told him to \u201ccross himself , \u201d he was mystified by wallach\u2019s peculiar arm choreography . wallach explained that his shorthand execution of this rite ( which he demonstrated for the audience ) was based on \u201cseeing my italian neighbors cross themselves in little italy in the 1920s . \u201d\nfrom whatever source , i grew up with stories about uncle eli : the little kid who was always getting into mischief ; the army medic who served in the european theater in world war ii ; and , most of all , the star of stage and screen . the highlights of his early career , as a vital figure in the postwar blossoming of american theater , were always a particular source of family pride and can still raise goose bumps among aficionados with long memories . he was in the original stage productions of \u201cteahouse of the august moon\u201d and \u201cmister roberts , \u201d though not in the films they eventually became . uncle eli\u2019s first film was \u201cbaby doll , \u201d in 1956 , directed by elia kazan from a script by tennessee williams \u2014 a movie that earned him a british academy award , and golden globe nomination , and that was condemned by the roman catholic church .\njackson , 87 , survives wallach , as do their three grown children : peter , a film animator , and daughters roberta and katherine , both actors like their parents .\nwallach died tuesday at the age of 98 . the news was first reported wednesday by the new york times , which confirmed his passing with the actor ' s daughter .\nwallach is survived by his wife of 66 years , anne jackson , their three children , and grandnephew a . o . scott , a new york times film critic .\nwith kazan directing , and featuring wallach , malden and carroll baker , all from the actors studio , the film baby doll had\nmethod\nspread all over it . wallach was splendidly sly , sensual and funny as silva vacarro , a moustachioed , vengeful latin seducer of the virginal child bride married to a sexually frustrated cotton - mill owner .\nthe hunter\n( 1980 ) : wallach reunited with\nmagnificent seven\ncostar mcqueen in what would be the latter ' s final movie , a thriller based on real - life bounty hunter ralph\npapa\nthorson . mcqueen played thorson , while wallach stole scenes and injected some humor as a nearsighted bail bondsman who enlists his services .\nvitale : critic david thomson says it was probably the longest show business marriage of the 20th century . and wallach ' s career was also one of the most prolific . he acted in more than 90 films and dozens of plays and tv shows . thomson says wallach will be remembered for the quality as well as the quantity of his work .\nrobert osborne : tell us a little bit of how you first got involved with this ? eli wallach : the good , the bad and the ugly ? osborne : yeah . wallach : well , i didn ' t know i was going to wind up as the ugly ! i was in california doing a film and sergio leone came and said he wanted to meet me . i said ,\nall right . what for ?\nhe said ,\nit ' s for what they call a ' spaghetti western ' .\ni asked him ,\nwhat is a ' spaghetti western ' ?\ni had no idea what the hell a\nspaghetti western\nwas ; but , he showed me the credit at the beginning of his movie . he comes across and then a gun comes in and shoots him right off the screen and i thought ,\nanybody who can do that , i ' ll work for him .\nosborne : what was that experience like ? wallach : with leone ? osborne : yeah . wallach : i ' ll tell one little quick story . osborne : you tell as many stories as you want .\nwallach appeared in a number of plays by odets , including his last broadway outing in a 1994 revival of odets '\nthe flowering peach\nfrom the national actors theatre .\nthe first movie in which mr . wallach acted was also written by williams : \u201cbaby doll\u201d ( 1956 ) , the playwright\u2019s screen adaptation of his \u201c27 wagons full of cotton . \u201d mr . wallach played silva vacarro , a sicilian \u00e9migr\u00e9 and the owner of a cotton gin that he believes has been torched . karl malden and carroll baker also starred .\nother documents they purchased from the wallach / jackson estate include playbills , clippings , posters , professional and candid photographs , correspondence , scrapbooks , home movies , awards and interviews .\nduring shooting in spain , wallach was almost killed when a galloping horse carried him for a considerable distance while his hands were tied behind his back . later , leone positioned him in the dirt , where a speeding train\u2019s protruding iron steps missed the actor by inches . wallach refused to do another take , a decision that surely contributed to his longevity .\nmarried 66 years and the parents of three children , wallach and jackson were able to translate their personal chemistry and dynamism into their roles whether on screen , stage and television .\nmarried for 66 years , wallach and jackson ' s partnership mirrors similar relationships between actors alfred lunt and lynn fontanne , jessica tandy and hume cronyn and anne bancroft and mel brooks . wallach and jackson , who met while performing in a 1946 production of tennessee williams '\nthis property is condemned ,\nappeared multiple times together on broadway and off broadway .\nwallach gave one of his best -

something confirmed by a long run back home , where the film opened in december .\nan overlong but oddly magnetic melodrama , peppermint candy excels in its main aim : using scenes from a life to build a convincing portrait of a complex , ordinary , not particularly likeable man . the scenes run backwards in time from the tragic end -

dictatorship south korea . while ostensibly a citizen kane type morality tale about an evil man , it is really a mirror held up to a country whose two main pillars were military / police brutality and worship of mammon .\npeppermint candy ( \ubc15\ud558\uc0ac\ud0d5 ) starts with a crazed man \u2013 the main character , yong ho \u2013 crashing a picnic by a river of a group of middle -

ho is not a likeable character . lee allows us to understand the external forces and disappointments that he has suffered in making him the man he is , but it is difficult to forgive him for his terrible behaviour . in some ways , the film\u2019s overarching national metaphor overwhelms a deeper understanding of the characters . they all symbolise something about south korean social reality and do not fully breathe as three - dimensional people or characters . peppermint candy is a compelling and powerful work and a necessary to any introduction to the korean new wave . lee quit filmmaking after the film to become south korea\u2019s minister of culture for reformer roh moo - hyun \u2013 one of the planks of roh\u2019s platform was more humane treatment of student protestors \u2013 for two years . after his stint in government , lee\u2019s filmmaking became less strident and philosophical and perhaps , more mature . peppermint candy is a work of deep conviction , passion and anger .\none might notice something unusual about peppermint candy straightaway : it\u2019s backwards . it affects a non - linear structure , forcing the viewer to witness the lead\u2019s story in reverse chronology . we start with a broken maniac ready to commit suicide on some train tracks , and end with a starry - eyed youth , happy and in love . what must have happened between these two points to result in such a drastic change ?\nchang -

dong ' s peppermint candy presents backwards , on the polarising end of the spectrum of genre , an epic character study .\nwhen i finished watching the film , the first thing that went through my mind was \u201ci\u2019m not sure what to think so this will be a hard review to write . \u201d and even after a little time has passed , i have to agree . it was both a well - acted and thought - provoking film and one that i didn\u2019t enjoy . sound contradictory ? well , so are my thoughts about peppermint candy . it\u2019s such an intense film that once it was finished , i was incredibly drained emotionally .\nit wasn ' t always this easy . in 1984 when he was a rookie cop , he was initiated into the art of torture . after a trade unionist prisoner shits on him during a session , he rushes into the bathroom to wash himself off . while peeing , another more seasoned cop casually mentions to him that he will not be able to forget the smell . that is what\npeppermint candy\nis about mostly , a man learning how , but never successfully so , to get over the smell .\nas part of the moon so -

dong , called bakha satang ( peppermint candy ) , is going to be shown in retrospective of a foreign author selection . this movie drew attention already after its initial projections , especially in film festivals . the first projection of the movie was in 1999 , and it was at the opening of international film festival pusan . after that , the movie was multiply awarded in karlovy vary festival , and it won grand bell award in grand bell festival in south korea .\nwearing rubber gloves , pull off 1 / 3 of the mixture , place it flat on the baking sheet , use your thumb to indent a small crevice , and add several drops food coloring into the crevice . quickly pull candy and fold it into itself until the red food dye is thoroughly incorporated . stretch the remaining candy until it ' s a foot long , fold it in half , and continue pulling and stretching in the same manner until it whitens in color . pull both pieces into 12 - inch - long ropes .\nif you manage to not be annoyed during its opening act which features a deranged asshole with suicidal tendencies putting up an extraordinary display of overacting before killing himself by getting run over by a train , you just might be able to enjoy peppermint candy & even end up being impressed by it too . told in reverse chronology , this film covers the past 20 years in the life of that stupid maniac & depicts the events that eventually led to his suicide while also showing that he was not such a weirdo from the beginning but was slowly transformed into one by the korean ' system ' .\nat the beginning of lee chang dong ' s ' ' peppermint candy ' ' a well - dressed man , possibly drunk and visibly distressed , stumbles into the reunion picnic of a group of men and women who had worked together in a factory 20 years before . they remember him from the old days , but he seems to have fallen out of touch . after alarming the group with his erratic behavior , the man , whose name is yongho ( sol kyung gu ) , climbs a nearby railroad bridge and , as the train approaches , screams into the camera , ' ' i want to go back . ' '\nliberally spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray . alternatively , line a rimmed baking sheet with a silpat . in a 4 - quart saucepan , bring sugar , corn syrup , and water to a boil , stirring frequently with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves . cook mixture until it reads 305\u00b0f on a candy thermometer . quickly remove the pan from heat , and stir in lemon juice and peppermint extract ; be careful , because it will bubble up . pour hot sugar mixture onto prepared sheet , but do not scrape the pot clean ( the sugar will already begin to cool ) . let mixture cool until bubbles subside .\npeppermint candy relies heavily on visual motifs , particularly moving trains and the namesake sweets themselves . trains appear at pivotal moments , usually during ( or after ) an unfortunate action taken by the lead . when i noticed this happening , the effect chilled ; my stomach automatically dropped and i almost felt cold . because the story segments are also broken up by footage taken from the back of a train , the effect is twofold . note also the pensive string music which accompanies these instances . other details become apparent over the course of the film ; names and objects which make no sense in one part suddenly burst with recognition in another .\ni ' m always intrigued by all the wonderful candies and confections that make their way to grocery store shelves during the holiday season . every time i buy a bag of peppermint candies , i can ' t help but wonder how they are made , which is why this season i became determined to make them as an edible gift .\nis your mouth feeling drab ? wake it up with urltoken ' s huge selection of mints ! from traditional after dinner mints like peppermints , andes mints , and nonpareil mint candies , to decorating mints like starlight mints and so many more , you can keep your mouth feeling fresh with these bulk size mint bags for days , weeks , and maybe even months ! if you ' re getting ready to stock up your office candy dish , then these would be a great selection to throw into the mix . or if you know someone who can ' t get enough mint candy , then surprise them with a special order . whatever you do , you ' ll love popping these mint candies into your mouth .\nhowever , even if one does not have a passing knowledge of south korean politics ,\npeppermint candy\nis still a compelling film with its stirring portrayal of a man ' s disintegration . with his moving portrayal of yongho , sol exhibits tremendous dramatic range , from the film ' s opening scenes , as an unsympathetic and volatile boor , to the very end , as a poignant and tragic figure whose dreams will never come true . given his unsavory introduction , as well as a number of scenes that underscore his volatility ( such as how his temper ruins a celebratory get - together with friends ) , there is a constant threat of yongho exploding in violence at any time , which adds an added level of tension to the film .\nyou ever watch a film just for it to cut off your balls and shove them down your throat ? peppermint candy is the condensation of sadness into a film . the story is told reverse chronologically . we ' re introduced to a main character who ' s completely broken and then we go back to the past bit by bit to see all the damage done to him and all the damage done by him . it ' s a tragic tale of loss of innocence . it ' s heartbreaking at times and horrifying at others . we see him break bit by bit . it ' s agonizing even though he ' s a complete and utter asshole . yet we still sympathize , regardless of being unaware of the true cause of his insatiable grief\nit ' s difficult to say how differently peppermint candy would come across if re - edited to run chronologically ; quite possibly , the sentimental excesses - stressed by some theatrical night - lighting and the tendency of the main character to weep uncontrollably when things go wrong , as they usually do - would seem merely over the top . there are moments of humour and moments of tenderness along the way , especially touching when see marital breakdown followed inexorably by the courtship that preceded it . though this is a film of some substance , it will not be easy to market abroad , where its commercial ambitions will be shackled by subtitles and by the difficult - to - shift perception that any south korean film released in the west must be strictly arthouse .\nreviewed below : peppermint candy ( jan 1 ) - - lies ( jan 8 ) - - chunhyang ( jan 29 ) - - the foul king ( feb 4 ) -

ho\u2019s story begins in 1999 at the 20th reunion of a youth social club where he first met sun - im , his first and only true love . he crashes the party , completely distraught and incoherent , unable to connect with the other people there . eventually , he breaks away from the group and climbs a railway bridge to commit suicide by standing in front of an oncoming train . the last shot of the scene is a freeze on yong - ho\u2019s face just before the locomotive is about to crush him . the rest of the film takes us back in time in order to understand how yong - ho reached this desperate moment .\nin the following sequence , set in 1987 , south korea is in the midst of massive student demonstrations over the announcement that general roh tae - woo \u2013 the principle commander behind the 1980 gwangju massacre where over 100 young demonstrators were shot by the army \u2013 was announced as the ruling party\u2019s next presidential candidate . yong - ho is revealed as a policeman who sadistically tortures a student activist . the cruelty of his work extends to his home life , where he is already becoming a spiteful husband to hong - ja . he spends much of his time with his policeman friends and secretly yearns for sun - im . it becomes apparent that yong - ho\u2019s ability to blindly adhere to the ruling ethos of the time is his only defining characteristic . the next three sequences take place at the end of his mandatory military service in 1984 , during his service in the gwangju massacre in 1980 and , finally , at the picnic in 1979 where he meets sun - im . lee provides cues and hints in each section that are further elaborated and given nuance as the audience journeys further back into yong - ho\u2019s past . the last three time periods complicate his idealisation of his relationship with sun - im , revealing it to be far less romantic than we first imagined . even the titular peppermint candy , associated with his early days with sun - im , is shown in a new and much less nostalgic light . in the army , yong - ho loses his innocence . he is dehumanised and learns ruthlessness , violence and selfishness there . by the time we see the young and shy yong - ho spiritedly singing with his teenage companions , our understanding of the destruction of his character is complete .\nthere are so many unique , interesting and engaging points to this film . the way this film is structured is one of these things . a lot of films , when they do flash backs , go right to the beginning of the timeline and progress to the present . in peppermint candy we follow the story as it starts from the present and reverses to the beginning of the timeline by looking at snippets of yong - ho\u2019s life from the present to the past . using this technique , yong - ho\u2019s life is revealed in such a way that some of the most tragic parts of his life are kept until near the end of the film . the use of train imagery to signify the turning back of time was great way to link each section of the story together , creating a thread that ran through the whole film . connecting yong - ho\u2019s life together is also done in another way , where each section is presented as a chapter , with it\u2019s own title , like \u2018the prayer\u2019 . using the train and chapters together smoothly helped the progression back in time and helped separate the chunks of plot . the way the film begins and ends is another well thought out part to the structure . the film begins at the picnic spot yong - ho met sun - im at years ago , and the film ends at this same spot . at the end of the film , the young yong - ho remarks he feels he\u2019s been to the picnic area before even though it\u2019s his first time there , and this line immediately makes the audience think back to the beginning of the film where yong - ho ends his life at the same spot . there\u2019s a great symmetry to the plot by finishing the film where it started .\nthe ' ending ' of the story begins in the spring of 1999 , where a group of former high school friends gather at a riverbank for a 20 - year reunion picnic . a well - dressed but emotionally - erratic man wanders into the sedate setting , whom the picnickers recognize as yongho ( sol kyung - gu ) , a member that they had lost contact with long ago . unfortunately , before they can catch up on old times , yongho climbs onto a railroad bridge , seemingly with the intention to jump . in the last few seconds of his life , just before he is hit by an approaching train , yongho defiantly declares ,\ni ' m going back !\n. . .\n. . . which he does , in a way , as the story jumps back three days before , filling in the holes as to who yongho is and why he ends up killing himself . unfortunately , yongho is not in much better shape - - he has lost all his money to a stockbroker , he is heavily in debt with a loan shark , and his wife has left him . with his last bit of savings , he has purchased a handgun to put himself out of his own misery . however , before he can do so , he learns that his first true love , sunim ( mun so - ri ) , is on her deathbed , and he has been asked to see her one last time .\nthe story then continues to jump back through time , gradually revealing more about yongho , his relationship with sunim , and the circumstances that end up unraveling the tapestry of his life . as the story moves back through yongho ' s life , director lee chang - dong segues each segment with film of a train moving backwards . in addition , the action of each segment prominently features railroad tracks and a passing train , emphasizing that each of these vignettes comprise the same thread of history , permanently linking yongho ' s past with his destiny .\nthe next stop is 1994 , where we find yongho juggling his small business , his unhappy marriage to hongja ( kim yejin of\ngirls ' night out\n) , and an affair with his one of his employees . a chance meeting in a restaurant , where yongho runs into a figure from his past , then leads into the film ' s next sequence , set in 1987 . in this time period , yongho is a policeman who is willing to use any means necessary , including torture , to extract confessions from government dissidents . in addition , hongja is pregnant with their daughter , and it is already apparent that the seeds for the marriage ' s dissolution have already been sown . when we catch up with yongho in 1984 , he is a rookie cop who ends up being traumatized when he beats his first confession out of a suspect . but the defining moment for yongho comes in 1980 , when as a soldier , his unit is called on to quell a civil disturbance and he ends up accidentally shooting an innocent bystander .\nwhen the film reaches its end at the beginning of the story , the year is 1979 and the setting is the same riverbank seen at the beginning of the film . the picnickers are twenty years younger , and among them are yongho , a young man full of hope and innocence who aspires to be a photographer one day , and the love of his life , sunim . unfortunately , because of what has come before this , we know that none of his dreams will come true , the love of his life will slip through his fingers , and he will end up a tragic figure , lonely and heartbroken on the same riverbank twenty years later .\nthe most important turning point in the development of yongho ' s character , when he accidentally shoots a student on her way home , is set against the backdrop of the kwangju massacre . this important landmark in the south korean democratic movement , in which a clash between government troops and student pro - democracy demonstrators resulted in 200 dead ( mostly civilians ) , was a specter that would haunt korean politics for the next two decades , and ultimately result in the arrest and imprisonment of two former south korean presidents . furthermore , the kwangju massacre also triggered the rise of anti - american sentiment , as it was widely believed that the reagan administration had strongly endorsed the use of force in quelling the riot .\nduring much of the eighties , we see yongho ' s character being hardened by the brutal tactics employed by the police . similarly , the eighties were a turbulent period for south korea under the leadership of general chun doo hwan , whose iron - fisted regime kept the country in a state of martial law and blocked all efforts towards constitutional reform . finally , in the nineties , we see a battle - scarred yongho initially riding the wave of economic expansion brought about by the new constitution of 1988 , only to come crashing down during the economic crisis of 1997 , when investors abandoned the debt - ridden south korean economy , the currency rapidly depreciated , and the country was ravaged by soaring unemployment and bankruptcies .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nn terms of box -

priced market of big budget genre films . although many of these blockbusters have drawn large numbers of viewers , high production costs means that film companies will likely need to sell these films abroad as well to turn a profit . early returns indicate that there is growing interest in korean films particularly in asia , with japan being the most important market .\n* includes tickets sold in 2001 . * * joint security area drew an estimated 5 . 8 million admissions nationwide . market share : korean 35 . 1 % , imports 64 . 9 % ( nationwide ) films released : korean 59 , imported 342 total attendance : 64 . 6m admissions number of screens : 720 ( nationwide ) exchange rate ( 2000 ) : 1139 won / us dollar average ticket price : 5 , 355 won ( = us $ 4 . 70 ) exports to other countries : us $ 7 , 053 , 745 average budget : 1 . 5bn won + 0 . 65bn p & a costs source : korean film council ( kofic ) .\nthese are some reviews of the features released in 2000 that have generated the most discussion and interest among film critics and / or the general public . they are listed in the order of their release .\n, was chosen to be the opening film of the 1999 pusan international film festival . some people viewed this as a coming of age : both for lee , the novelist - turned - director whose debut feature\n( 1997 ) took home the top prize from the vancouver international film festival ; and for korean cinema in general , since this was the first time in piff ' s four - year history that a domestic film was chosen for this honor .\nthe festival opened with fireworks , speeches , and a bit of rain , and when the film began to roll it clashed somewhat with the festive atmosphere .\nis the personal history of a man whose troubled experiences leave him greatly disturbed . the film asks of its viewers a fair amount of concentration and emotional energy ; some scenes are upsetting , while others give us mere hints of beauty : the undeveloped potential that lies dormant within our hero .\n, in that we first witness a tragedy , and then progress backwards in time to learn the events which led up to it . the film contains seven episodes from our hero ' s life , each of which reveal him in a different stage of development . these segments are linked by a series of shots taken from the back of a train , as if to suggest that the train itself leads us back into his past .\nmany of the episodes in our hero ' s life echo the contemporary history of korea : serving in the military , torturing political dissidents as a policeman , and losing money in a failed business venture . these symbolic events mingle with the personal aspects of his life : an early love affair , which continues to haunt him years later , and his subsequent failed marriage .\nultimately the main character remains out of our grasp . lee denies us any easy explanations for our hero ' s character , or excuses for his behavior . the film frustrated me as i was watching it for the first time ; i wanted greater access to the hero ' s feelings . nonetheless , i felt shattered upon reaching the end of the film , and it has beckoned me back for a second viewing . (\nfinally reached the theaters . with a scalped ticket in hand , i pushed my way past the crowds and tv cameras into dansungsa theater to find my seat . when the film began to roll , the mark left by the censor was clear : a couple scenes were screened without sound , leaving an eerie silence in the theater ; the naughty bits had all been blurred ; and other scenes had been completely removed , including a particularly lewd conversation about sex between two high school girls and a scene involving coprophilia ( look it up in the dictionary ) . in all , five minutes of footage had been removed from the 113 - minute film .\nthe film itself left many disappointed . jang has established such a high standard in his works of the past decade that this rather simple tale of a sado - masochistic affair left some of his fans perplexed . some of jang ' s old themes are revisited in this work , namely the complex and at times savage power relations between men and women ( cf . the husband and wife in\n) , but on the whole it seemed to devote more energy to pushing buttons , setting up scenes that were certain to shock and infuriate conservative viewers .\nmuch can be read into the film ' s title . jang originally intended to use the title of the novel on which the film is based ,\n, which can more easily be directed at society in general . jang has long ridiculed the hypocrisy of korean society , whose outwardly conservative sexual mores mask a thriving sex industry and widespread exploitation of minors . this double standard has ironically has been reflected in the film ' s reception . the sex we see in\ndoes not feel in any way enticing ; the protagonists are left seeming pathetic by the end of the film , and few viewers are likely to go scavenging for sticks after leaving the theater . nonetheless some groups have labeled even the edited version as dangerous pornography , while turning a blind eye to the far more subversive pornographic videos and cd - roms that are available in department stores , street corners and video shops across the nation .\njang has had enough experience with censorship and controversy that he must have known exactly the reception his film would receive . in many ways i consider the lawsuits , the rejections by the ratings board , and the protests by citizens groups as much a part of this work as the mise - en - scene and cinematography , for they were clearly planned and anticipated by the director . jang ' s experimentation with documentary form in recent years has blurred the distinction between the space inside the film and the world outside ; in many ways"]}

up . romeo and juliet is a masterwork of irony and this movie took it out completely . it was so rushed in a way that felt distant and just trying to push through it . it never settled at moments and it pains me to watch it . the only good scene was at the end when they killed themselves because of paul giamatti ' s performance . god , and i thought the 1998 version was bad , this one is even worse . watch the 1968 version for the good romeo and juliet .\nwhen you board an airplane , you put your life in the hands of the pilot and co -

laden romance comes both joy and tragedy for all .\nbut mention of zeffirelli reminds me of a great production he did at the old vic in 1960 : all seething crowds and veronese colour . john stride and joanna dunham ( replacing judi dench ) were the lovers when i saw it , but my abiding memory is of alec mccowen ' s brilliant mercutio : he died unforgettably by maintaining , until the last second , the mocking tone of the sardonic jester . easily the best version since then was rupert goold ' s sensational 2010 rsc production . by putting mariah gale ' s juliet and sam troughton ' s romeo in modern dress while everyone else wore renaissance costume , he emphasised the lovers ' isolation . add in jonjo o ' neill ' s manic mercutio and eruptions of scalding heat , and you had a production that caught the play ' s intemperate wildness and disguised its narrative defects .\njio institute picked as an ' institute of eminence ' . selection panel head explains why\nhollywood superstar arnold schwarzenegger ' s ' terminator 2 ' harley -

year ! the film was launched some 4 or 5 years back and now it looks very outdated one . the story is very interesting , but the way the director give the final product is very poor and not even worthy to write a review !\nbefore the release , dr . kalidoss has stated that he had been in the film industry for the past 15 years and that he completed a film titled \u2018thunichal\u2019 with arun vijay in the lead in the year 2008 . he also stated that though the censor board had cleared the film , arun vijay had \u2018purposely\u2019 delayed the release of the film by not completing his portion of the \u2018dubbing\u2019 work . as he had spent rs . 2 crores till date , the producer told vijay that he couldn\u2019t continue to shoot the film . meanwhile , he was asked by the actor to release thunichal after his \u2018malai malai\u2019 released . due to his non - cooperation , instead of releasing \u2018thunichal\u2019 in 160 theatres , i could release the film only in 16 theatres on 1 january this year , said kalidoss . due to this , i incurred a loss of rs . 1 . 5 crores , he added . \u201cdue to the mental harassment i had to endure because of arun vijay , i couldn\u2019t continue my profession as a doctor for the past 4 years . vijay has to pay me rs . 1 . 5 crores and till he does so , the release of his \u2018maanja velu\u2019 should be stayed till the 19th of this month , \u201d he had stated in the petition\nmuch as a second thought . if any part of the movie impresses , it has to be the final few portions which has a couple who feign love for each other with the real intention of killing each other with neither of them having a clue about the other\u2019s ideas . arun vijay seems to be in a lost plot after his malai malai high . but , ramana impresses with his cold villainy . other performances don\u2019t count for much . director majeed , who also has the story and screenplay to his credit , must have thought long and hard about the plot . this one fails to hold the viewers\u2019 attention right from the start . the \u2018lovers out to kill each other\u2019 thread could have been better used to give a few interesting scenes which would have enhanced the quality of the film . technically , there is nothing much that stands out and music by premji amaran fails to make any sort of impact . thunichal is a pretty low way to start 2010 for kollywood . it looks a jaded and unrefined product , the type that one won\u2019t be too pleased to watch . verdict : watch it if you have the \u2018thunichal\u2019\nramana is a mimicry artist who owned a studio also . he falls in love with shiva munjal , sister of his personal assistant , but unfortunately she is engaged with arun vijay . so ramana wants to take a revenge and murder shiva munjal ' s sister and arun vijay ' s brother , who also planned to get marry soon . after the murder , ramana cooks up a different story that turns shiva munjal against arun vijay . the misled minds then go about damning each other\ns lives . does the truth ultimately come out or does the crookedly cunning mind get the pleasure of seeing his plans work ? that is what thunichal is all about .\nnew year , new hopes , new beginnings , and new movies ! we have the first set of releases of this year , not anything big . thunichal starring arun vijay , ramana and new heroine shiva manjal is a tale of the havoc that a sadistic mind plays in the lives of many people . the owner of the sadistic mind has a very unique philosophy \u2013 what he cannot get , nobody else should and the object of his desire should self destroy . and , when he fails to get the lady of his dreams , he cooks up a devious plan to destroy everything in her life and drive her to self destruction . the plan involves a couple of murders and then misleading people about who is responsible for the deaths . the misled minds then go about damning each other\u2019s lives . does the truth ultimately come out or does the crookedly cunning mind get the pleasure of seeing his plans work ? that is what thunichal is all about . first , this is not the way we wanted 2010 to begin . there are seldom movies where murdering has appeared so easy . and then , the murderer so easily convinces people that someone has actually done it . all this seems to happen in some lawless land where there is no police or anyone to look into a murder . most characters in the movie seem to believe in an \u2018eye for an eye\u2019 method of life and that is why they set off to murder each other without so\nanbae ithu nijamthaanaa . .

saying ' we should not broke the friendship and he is the one who neglected girls in their gang . so , its wrong to say he loves gowri ' . guru and krishna kept lots of arrears in their academics . so , shiney slapped krishna and its bad for him to join with guru and krishna got angry . guru fought with shiney to slap him . thus the gang split as boys and girls . due to this gang didn ' t reunite

sidekick comedy line has been built on this strategy , they keep doing this over and over starting on a funny note until it gets tiresome . with a simple plot , the director could have dealt it in a simplistic way , instead he tries to force in comedy desperately making the whole affair look flimsy . there is this scene when the whole business man\u2019s family is gathered to see karunkaran\u2019s nunchaku stunt , the placement is completely ridiculous . reshma rathore is just another average kollywood heroine who appears only in hero\u2019s duet dreams .\nthambi ramaiahs son umapathi makes his debut in am ( the title is too long , without a reason to the story ) . along with him is comedian karunakaran , as they try to bring the film alive with the duos comical antics . the film which was completed almost 2 years back hits the screens finally today , lets see how it has panned out .\nby using www . bookmyshow . com ( our website ) , you are fully accepting the privacy policy available at urltoken governing your access to bookmyshow and provision of services by bookmyshow to you . if you do not accept terms mentioned in the privacy policy , you must not share any of your personal information and immediately exit bookmyshow .\ncopyright 2018 \u00a9 bigtree entertainment pvt . ltd . all rights reserved . the content and images used on this site are copyright protected and copyrights vests with the respective owners . the usage of the content and images on this website is intended to promote the works and no endorsement of the artist shall be implied . unauthorized use is prohibited and punishable by law .\nsubscribe to our free newsletters to be the first one to know about all things entertainment .\nthe phone number associated with your bms account has been verified via a different account . please reverify your phone number .\nyou are about to change your phone number for my wallet . verify otp to confirm\n\u201ci have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner , its agent , or the law . \u201d and \u201cthe information in this notification is accurate , and i am the owner , or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the owner , of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed . \u201d\nstep 2 . on receipt of your smart band , register and activate the band online through the link that will be emailed to your registered email id .\nstep 3 . arrive at the event and walk in without waiting in the queue .\nin case of any unavoidable circumstances , like an issue in receiving inventory from the concerned / taxation authority , you will have to pickup your smart bands from bookmyshow box office at the venue on the event day .\nin case of office address if courier person is not allowed inside than please note that bands might be delivered at reception or mail room .\non receipt of your entry band , register and activate the band online through the activation link that will be sent to you along with your band .\nin case of any unavoidable circumstances , like an issue in receiving inventory from the concerned / taxation authority , you will have to pickup your entry bands from bookmyshow box office at the venue on the event day .\ndue to some technical issues your address has not been updated . we request you to please try again .\nyou have exceeded the maximum number of mp3 items in your mp3 cart . please click here to manage your mp3 cart content .\nget 4 months for $ 0 . 99 of amazon music unlimited . play any song , ad -

called\nprodigious beings\nin the occult tradition . david soon discovers that their goal is to channel the moon ' s energy into a child yet to be born , robbing him of his rightful place as the son of the moon . two women , victoria , a member of the center , and georgina , the future mother of the supposed moonchild , will help david fulfill his destiny . after several attempts david manages to escape the center and undergoes a series . . .\nfilm , in which simian roddy mcdowall attempts to peacefully coexist with conquered humanity . but not everyone goes along with the plan , especially with an impending nuclear threat .\nas the 1989 film tongues untied \u2013 still so relevant today \u2013 points out , it is common for black gay men to internalize a fear of one another and to buy into a push that we ought to flee into the arms of a white gay man . like worshipping a brad pitt - like portrait of jesus christ in church , it is easy for black gay men to internalize society\u2019s pressure to idealize white men and believe that salvation can be had by being closer to whiteness .\nthis is a good movie this it is about this one boy . he is called the moon child and he has the power of the moon he can move things with his eyes . that may not be word for word what that call it . later this boy and girl go to africa and there is this boy one thing that puzzles me i do not know if it is an african thing or not but the two boys tap each others tongues to each others . i missed a bit i had to read the subtitles and some times i was to slow just warning you there are about 2 nudity parts in it . on his voyage he does not use his powers much .\nspain\u00eds augusti villaronga followed up his fearsome masterpiece in a glass cage with this highly ambitious mystical fantasy . the film has many shortcomings , but its nightmarish aura is quite arresting .\nplot : a television series based on the explorations of colonel ed mccauley . the show attempted to show the real qualities of space , instead of the typical characteristics of a science fiction film .\neddie murphy was considered to play the villain this low budget horror film that ended up being a surprise success . i doubt the filmmakers would have even been able to afford murphy , as his salary at the time was likely almost double the film\u2019s shoestring $ 8 million budget . playing a bad guy in a horror film would have shown off murphy\u2019s diversity as an actor , but his own efforts in the horror genre \u2014 vampire in brooklyn , the haunted mansion \u2014 rank amongst his worst - received films . it\u2019s probably for the best that murphy only made two horror movies ; a third could have killed his career .\nplot : semi - sequel to the 1956 film . this one is set in san francisco , where the\nseeds\nfrom outer space are duplicating and destroying the bay area residents at an alarming rate .\nanother gift jenkins gives not just to american cinema , but to american culture , is that he depicts black boyhood as something worthy of rooting for to succeed . it is not especially difficult to make white boyhood precious . in the 2014 movie boyhood , director richard linklater encouraged the audience to hold as precious and unique mason , a banal and totally average white american child who existed in an imaginary nearly all - white texas . mason and his friend engage in petty vandalism , and also drink and drive \u2013 and yet , mason , \u201cno angel\u201d , was excused and held dear in a way a black child never would be .\ncasting is one of the most important processes in movie making . placing the right actors in the right roles can determine whether or not an entire film rings true . thus , casting directors and filmmakers consider a variety of possibilities before going into production . lost roles is a weekly series that examines the missed opportunities \u2014 the roles that could have been \u2014 and explores how some casting choices that almost happened could have changed the film industry and the comedy world , at large .\ncasting is one of the most important processes in movie making . placing the right actors in the right roles can determine whether or not an entire film rings true . thus , casting directors and filmmakers consider a variety of possibilities [ . . . ]\nparamount bought the rights to this pulitzer prize - winning august wilson play in 1987 at eddie murphy\u2019s urging , with the understanding that he would produce and act in the film adaptation . murphy , then 26 , wanted to play the main character\u2019s son , a high school athlete . he ended up leaving the project , and a film version of the play has yet to come together . like malcolm x and driving miss daisy , this was another chance for murphy to establish himself as a respected dramatic actor and a potential awards contender .\nplot : considered to be the worst film ever made . hilariously bad , it attempts to deliver an antiwar message as well as thrills and chills , but does not succeed . i watched the whole thing , and i ' m still not sure what the plot is .\njenny lewis started acting at a young age , appearing in commercials and tv movies , and making her television debut in a 1985 episode of the twilight zone . she acted throughout the late \u201980s and early \u201990s , with projects including episodes of the golden girls , growing pains , and roseanne , and the 1989 movie troop beverly hills . lewis successfully pivoted to music in the late \u201990s as a part of rilo kiley and continues to lead a successful solo career , seeing critical acclaim with her 2014 album , the voyager .\neven in the film\u2019s uplifting moments , it is depressing that everyone in chiron\u2019s life is either dead or living under some form of state surveillance . jenkins deals with this deftly , without being heavy - handed or dismissive , and makes the characters no less worthy of our support .\nplot : the most highly regarded sci - fi film of the 1950s . a futuristic space mission lands on the planet altair - 4 and finds a doctor and his daughter , who are all that remain from a previous colonization attempt , and an unseen force that does not welcome them .\nplot : the third film in the alien trilogy . ripley ( sigourney weaver ) crash - lands on a planet where an old mining facility is used as a penal colony for madmen and rapists . the evil alien has once again stowed away on ripley ' s ship , and battles ensues .\nwhen this film was originally conceived in the mid - 1980s , it was set up as a project for david bowie and mick jagger , who had wanted to do a movie together . jagger and bowie dropped out and eddie murphy was briefly attached before he passed and steve martin signed on .\nin 1985 , a young sean astin made his big - screen debut as mikey walsh in the goonies . then an unknown 14 - year - old actor with just tv movie credits to his name , astin led the film that would later become a cult classic . he kept busy with film projects throughout the \u201980s and \u201990s and earned acclaim for his turn as samwise gamgee in the lord of the rings series . in recent years , astin has filled his resume with voice work , lending his vocals to tv shows such as sofia the first , teenage mutant ninja turtles , and bunnicula .\ncorey feldman started acting when he was a child , appearing in commercials and making tv cameos . he got his big break in 1979 however , when , at the age of 8 , he debuted as regi tower in the bad news bears . feldman filled his resume with tv and film roles throughout the \u201980s and \u201990s , and branched out with an attempt at a music career . in recent years , feldman released a book , coreyography : a memoir , which followed his friendship with the late corey haim , feldman\u2019s public struggle with substance abuse , and his life growing up in the spotlight . he still acts , lending his voice to teenage mutant ninja turtles as slash and appearing in indie movies .\nit\u2019s the story of a love quadrangle , a child , a theater troupe , and a long winter . nathalie is pregnant , but the baby\u2019s father , stefane , leaves her for sabine , a set designer for the theater . sabine has just left bruno , an actor in the same troupe . nathalie tries to kill herself and is saved by her friend leni , as stefane then follows sabine on her theatrical tour . . .\nwhile picking beverly hills cop over ghostbusters was a smart decision on murphy\u2019s part , if he had somehow been able to balance the shooting schedules of these two films , it would have turned him into the biggest movie star in the world . taking part in ghostbusters would have also secured him a role in 1989\u2019s ghostbusters ii . although the sequel isn\u2019t held in high esteem by fans and critics , it was still a financial success . adding these two hits to his resume would have helped eddie murphy to better withstand the career slump he went through in the early \u201890s and kept him a first choice for casting agents , directors , and studio execs .\ngaining experience through tv movies and small - screen cameo gigs , kirk cameron became a household name thanks to his turn as mike seaver on growing pains from 1985 to 1992 . the child star then got his own spin - off with the short - lived kirk and soon turned his focus to religious work . the star , who is an evangelical born - again christian , largely restricts his on - screen work to projects that align with his faith , such as 2008\u2019s fireproof and 2014\u2019s saving christmas .\ntracey gold started appearing on the small screen when she was just 7 years old . at the age of 16 , she became a star with her role of carol seaver on growing pains . she starred on the sitcom for seven years and continued her tv work throughout the \u201990s and 2000s . gold wrote about her experience as a child star , as well as her well - publicized battle with an eating disorder , in the 2003 book , room to grow : an appetite for life , and has made recent appearances in tv movies .\nwhile she picked up early roles in the dean martin show and gunsmoke , melissa gilbert is best known for her 1978 debut as laura ingalls on little house on the prairie . she appeared on the original series for nine years , also reprising the role for tv movies . gilbert is still acting decades later \u2014 recently appearing as lisa daly on secrets and lies \u2014 but has shifted her focus as of late . the former child star announced in august 2015 that she was running for u . s . congress in michigan\u2019s 8th congressional district in the 2016 election .\nwith a career lasting over three decades , eddie murphy has his fair share of film parts he came close to playing . i know what you\u2019re wondering , and yes , there are roles eddie murphy has turned down . every major actor has a roster of missed opportunities and close calls , even \u2014 how shall i put this \u2014 those who are \u201cless selective . \u201d here\u2019s a rundown of eddie\u2019 murphy\u2019s lost roles .\nthe first time i saw moonlight , i was worried that it could create a dangerous takeaway message : that if black gay men want to lead full lives , they should try to escape from the violence of other black men and into the arms of whiteness . a reading of the film to that point could be saying that chiron\u2019s precious boyhood could not be trusted to other black boys and men and might better be nurtured elsewhere .\nfollowing appearances in two episodes of the twilight zone , danica mckellar snagged her second onscreen gig as winnie cooper in the wonder years . the child star played winnie for five years , going on to spend her late childhood and teens in front of the camera . mckellar , whose recent credits include voice work on transformers : rescue bots and phineas and ferb , earned a bachelor of science in mathematics from ucla in the late \u201990s and authored four books on math in recent years , including 2009\u2019s kiss my math : showing pre - algebra who\u2019s boss , and 2012\u2019s girls get curves : geometry takes shape .\nviewers first met ricky schroder in 1979 , when the then - child star appeared alongside jon voight and faye dunaway in the champ . after a handful of other big - screen turns , schroder hit the small screen as ricky stratton on silver spoons . he grew up in front of the camera , spending five years on the sitcom from 1982 to 1987 . he filled his filmography over the next two decades , playing dr . dylan west on strong medicine and mike doyle on 24 . he made a cameo as himself in 2010\u2019s get him to the greek and stepped behind the camera with directing and production company work .\nafter picking up early gigs in tv movies , soleil moon frye became a bona fide star at the age of 7 , when she nabbed the lead role in punky brewster . frye played the title character from 1984 to 1988 and continued to spend her childhood acting with cameos in tv shows like the wonder years and saved by the bell . decades later , frye still occasionally acts , lending her voice to animated series like planet sheen and robot chicken through 2014 . now the mother to three children with a fourth on the way , frye also co - founded moonfrye , a kids crafts company .\nthe same week moonlight opened , a sign commemorating emmett till , murdered for whistling at a white woman , was riddled with bullet holes \u2013 a 14 - year - old still considered suspect , six decades after being lynched . but white boys , like boyhood\u2019s mason , are considered innocent by default . as we saw the same actor , ellar coltraine , grow up on film over 12 years , we were encouraged to see him as the future of america , worth protecting .\nlukas haas spent his childhood in front of the camera , making big - screen turns in 1983\u2019s testament and 1985\u2019s witness , in addition to other tv and film projects . he filled his filmography with dozens of roles in the \u201990s and 2000s and , in recent years , was featured as a part of critically acclaimed films . haas appeared alongside leonardo dicaprio , joseph gordon - levitt , ellen page , and tom hardy in 2010\u2019s inception , and reunited with dicaprio for the 2015 release of the revenant .\nthe film moonlight is extraordinary for many reasons , but to me it is most so for two . first , it considers black boys to be precious , at a time when news stories perpetually make it seem as if the united states considers them to be utterly expendable . second , it acknowledges the effects that the stalking ghosts of premature death and incarceration have upon gay black masculinity \u2013 and it manages to do so without ever diminishing the lives full of complex humanity that black gay men still manage to have in america while navigating that reality .\neddie murphy admitted to passing on roger rabbit , saying he had thought it would be a disaster . he now regrets the decision and says he \u201cfeels like \u2018an idiot\u2019 every time he sees it . \u201d although murphy missed out on a major hit , i don\u2019t think roger rabbit would have worked as well with him playing eddie valiant . considering murphy\u2019s r - rated persona in the \u201880s , i was surprised disney offered this to him . eddie murphy\u2019s presence couldn\u2019t have hurt the film too much , though , as he was much more famous than actual star bob hoskins at the time , and he could have given roger rabbit an extra boost at the box office .\nthe film\u2019s director , frank oz , managed to pull two great performances out of murphy a decade later in bowfinger . if oz could get murphy to do so well in the late \u201890s , there\u2019s no doubt the two would have worked together well during murphy\u2019s \u201980s heyday . although steve martin replaced murphy in the role , i think this really could have worked with martin as the stuffy character that michael caine ended up playing and murphy in the role that went to martin . it could have been a big hit and it would have certainly been more satisfying than the unnecessary beverly hills cop and 48 hrs . rehashes that populated eddie murphy\u2019s filmography in the late \u201880s and early \u201890s .\nif eddie murphy had landed the grinch part , it could have thrown jim carrey\u2019s career off track . the grinch was a huge hit for jim carrey , proving he still had it and that his movies could still attract big crowds . the grinch was jim carrey coming up for air to make a sure - fire hit in between endangering his career with risky roles in man on the moon and the majestic . neither of those films ended up being commercial successes , and without the grinch to back himself up , carrey might have seen his career take a downturn . studios likely wouldn\u2019t have felt confident enough to cast him as the lead in bruce almighty , if his most recent hit had been in the 90s , and another actor could have taken that part . bruce almighty was the gasp for commercial air that kept carrey\u2019s career breathing while he plunged back into the less - commercial depths to make eternal sunshine of the spotless mind . without that part , his career may have been dead in the water .\nmurphy , a close personal friend of richard pryor\u2019s , who cast pryor in his directorial debut harlem nights , seems like he would have been a solid choice to play the comedian . it\u2019s going to be hard to please us pryor fans with any actor playing him , but i feel like murphy was a respectable selection and he showed in his stand - up film raw that he has pryor\u2019s voice , cadence , and mannerisms down . i\u2019m dubious about the marlon wayans casting , but he reportedly gave a 13 - minute screen test that impressed the producers , with some claiming he \u201ctransforms into pryor . \u201d time will tell if this project ever sees the light of day , as bill condon recently put it on hold to direct parts one and two of breaking dawn , the final two installments in the twilight franchise .\nstudio executives considered casting bette midler and eddie murphy as the leads in this oscar - winning film . this is perhaps the most shocking entry in murphy\u2019s cache of missed opportunities , and it\u2019s a part i don\u2019t think he was ready to pull this off at the time . morgan freeman\u2019s age is a big part of his character , and one of the reasons i can\u2019t imagine murphy in this role is that he was so much younger at the time . he was still in his 20s while this one was in production . slotting bette midler in the lead role is another odd notion , although she\u2019s done better with dramatic roles than murphy has . the midler - murphy version of miss daisy would have lacked the critical appeal and effectiveness of the jessica tandy - morgan freeman one that actually came to exist , but if murphy and midler\u2019s performances ended up being good , this may have still been a success and not the disaster that it sounds like .\nmurphy\u2019s four - year stint at snl was arguably what saved the show from the jaws of cancellation during the non - lorne michaels years , and every cast member and comedy writer who has used the show as a springboard to fame since owes their career to eddie murphy . he dominated the show , appearing in nearly every sketch and introducing a bevy of hilarious characters and impressions . his comedic persona was surprisingly well - formed for someone who was only 19 when he joined snl . murphy\u2019s first few movies , too , were just as strong as his snl work . 48 hrs . , trading places , and beverly hills cop were all massive blockbusters and critically - acclaimed comedies too , each one funnier and more financially successful than the one before it . murphy\u2019s early career had some real momentum going , more so than any film comedian i can think of at the start of their career . can you name someone who starred in three great movies right off the bat , without a slip - up ? if eddie murphy\u2019s entire career had gone as well as those first five years did , then he would without a doubt be deserving of icon status .\ndriving miss daisy was well - received at the time , scoring a boatload of oscars and nominations , including a best picture win . while this wouldn\u2019t likely have happened with midler and murphy as the leads , i doubt the presence of those actors could have steered the project too far off course . driving miss daisy may have still ended up acclaimed by critics and this could have been a transitional role for eddie murphy , allowing him to take on more highbrow and dramatic fare and helping him to bypass his fart - heavy mid - \u201990s family film comeback . hell , driving miss daisy was so beloved that murphy\u2019s trading places costar dan aykroyd even received an oscar nom for best supporting actor for his work here . it was the first - ever oscar nomination for an ex - snl star , long before bill murray\u2019s turn in lost in translation or murphy\u2019s own in dreamgirls . maybe murphy could have earned himself a nomination if he had been cast in this role . tom hanks and robin williams both pulled off the tricky comedy - to - drama transition around the same time , and if murphy had given it his all in driving miss daisy , he may have been able to follow their paths .\nback in 2005 , before inglourious basterds went into production , actor michael madsen announced to a reporter that quentin tarantino\u2019s cast for the film was to include himself , tim roth , eddie murphy , and adam sandler . while this sounds completely unbelievable and like madsen was just making this up , it is confirmed that roth and madsen were at one point attached and tarantino has said he wanted sandler to play the part that went to eli roth . but eddie murphy\u2019s casting sticks out most , and he\u2019s the one actor madsen mentioned whose involvement hasn\u2019t been confirmed outside of this one interview . tarantino has made a habit of casting forgotten actors and reviving them out of career dry spells ( john travolta , pam grier , david carradine , etc . ) , but eddie murphy still seems a strange choice for this one . tarantino has proven he has a strong eye for casting , and i doubt he would consider murphy unless he had the perfect role for him . it sounds absurd on paper , but maybe tarantino had figured out a great way to use him . this is something that could have revitalized eddie murphy\u2019s career and introduced a new side of him to audiences , but chances are this was just michael madsen feeding the press some misinformation .\nyou accept cookies being used and saved on your device , notably for promotional and / or advertising purposes , within the limits of our privacy protection policy .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nafter spending a night with a sensual prostitute , the king of spain decides that he wants to see his wife naked . his decision causes a real revolution amidst his subjects .\na fencing master in pre -

headed attitude . in dubai post the london stint of shamitabh\u2019s promotion , the actor may have been tired but his body language and his quick - witted answers belied his age .\nwe all know about r . balki\u2019s love for ilaiyaraaja and the cinema he grew up on . there would be no shamitabh without the punnagai mannan influenced irony and there\u2019s nothing wrong with the plot per se \u2014 it\u2019s easily one of the best endings . but the execution\u2026 right from script to the edit is an epic contrived mess .\nshamitabh is the sole notable release of the week and should take a decent opening at the box office . while the promotion hasn\u2019t gone overboard , the kind of brand value that the combination of amitabh bachchan and r . balki carry , courtesy paa and cheeni kum , ensures that this would be yet another quality film in the offering .\nthe film is dhanush ' s second hindi project , after the critically - acclaimed and commercially successful\nranjhanaa ,\nwhich hit the screens in 2013 . dhanush ' s performance won him accolades from all quarters and it remains to be seen whether the actor will be able to impress the audience once again with his role in\nshamitabh .\nhow does shamitabh pull this off , you might ask ? through some clever writing , is the answer . danish grows up in the small town of igatpuri , only 120 kms away from mumbai , the home of bollywood . what he lacks in vocal cords , he more than makes up for in curiosity , especially when it comes to the movies .\ndid he have any reservations about the title echoing his name ? \u201cno , because it is part of the script . its not because his name ( dhanush ) and my name match that we put up this title . it adds value to the script and when you see the movie you will understand why it is called shamitabh , \u201d he explains .\nso when a movie like shamitabh comes along , which in director r balki\u2019s words is an \u201code to the bachchan baritone , the voice of india , \u201d one would perhaps expect the actor to revel in his success . but bachchan seems very reluctant to play up to the gallery when we meet him during his brief stopover in dubai last week to promote the movie .\nbalki added ,\nthis film is my third collaboration with eros . we had partnered in cheeni kum , english vinglish and now shamitabh . rakesh jhunjhunwala , radhakrishnan damani , abhishek bachchan , gauri and myself are glad to have eros as the co producer on this project too . the film couldn ' t have got a better marketing and distribution team to back it\n.\nq . the rumour mill in tamil cinema is that the story of shamitabh is based on the real life story of 1980\u2019s tamil romantic hero popularly called \u2018mike\u2019 mohan , a kannadiga by birth for whom surendra , a tamil dubbing artist was his voice . surendra\u2019s voice made him a craze but due to ego problems they fell out and mohan lost his stardom . please comment .\nthe plot of shamitabh revolves around a wannabe star who becomes famous by imitating amitabh bachchan ' s legendary voice . this is dhanush ' s second hindi film with ranjhanaa being the first . when he was asked , if his hindi speaking skills had improved , the actor broke into a laugh and said ,\nit ' s much better than it used to be .\neros is giving the film an optimal release , which means opening day occupancy of around 40 % would ensure that good word of mouth results in decent momentum over the weekend . since it is a solo release of the week and the only competition at the multiplexes would be baby ( which is still doing strong at premium properties ) , shamitabh should bring in cheers at theaters .\nilaiyaraaja doesn\u2019t dole out hindi songs very often but when he does , they are special . shamitabh \u2019s music in ishq - e - fillum , the first song from the film , has a very bold composition as a tribute to films . filum is the way suraj jagan calls out to films as he adds witty prefixes to describe the love and effort put into making a film .\ndhanush ' s stock continues to rise with every passing movie . after notching up a blockbuster success in tamil , with velai illa pattadhaari , an exciting news comes out now that dhanush would be sharing the screen space with yesteryear sensation and an evergreen beauty rekha in his second hindi film , shamitabh . raanjhanaa , his first in hindi , has already made him a sensation across the country .\nmuch of what constitutes stardom , the way it is constructed in the world\u2019s largest film industry , is part of the film . the connection between how a person looks and how he sounds , and how that contributes to the making of a star , fashions the two halves of ` shamitabh\u2019 . and the predictable face - off between the two provides some of the film\u2019s most alive moments .\n\u201cand if they don\u2019t want to see something which they feel is already played out so many times they will not patronise it and if they don\u2019t patronise it then we don\u2019t want to make that film . we are really happy that fresh ideas and thoughts , which is what shamitabh boasts at this point of time , are coming through and there are people who want to see it . \u201d\nbut\nshamitabh\ndebuted with below average response . the movie registered an average of 25 % occupancy in both multiplexes and single screens in the morning shows on its opening day . the film got positive reviews from everyone and the word of mouth took its business upwards in the afternoon and evening shows . it collected \u20b93 . 5 crore nett at the indian box office on the first day .\nabhinaya is elated . she is back in the city after completing four - days of shoot with actor dhanush for r . balki\u2019s shamitabh which also stars amitabh bachchan in a pivotal role . but then this isn\u2019t the real news . the hearing and speech impaired actor who made her debut in telugu film industry is soon going to shoot for a hollywood movie under award - winning director rupam sarmah .\na reedy , scrawny , voice - less wannabe actor rides piggyback on a hypnotic , heavy baritone to super success in bollywood : the premise of \u2018shamitabh\u2019 is fabulous on many levels . because of the cross - connections it makes with real life and reel life . because of what we already know about the actors , stored in our memory banks . because of its sheer degree of meta - ness .\nthe only saving graces of shamitabh are the competent and sincere performances from dhanush and debutant hassan , saddled as they are with the most ridiculous script this one - line idea could ' ve spawned . that aside , the supporting cast is uniformly bad , with special mention for the actor who plays anay verma , a film director with the ( re ) acting skills of a third - rate tv actor .\na paparazzi reporter meanwhile has unearthed the secret that daanish was born mute . he threatens to expose the duo but they decide to tell the truth and wow the world . ' shamitabh ' accept akshara ' s script and daanish tells akshara that he loves her . on the way to akshara ' s film ceremony , the two stars have a terrible car accident . daanish is killed while amitabh loses his voice .\nhaving his name as pasrt of the film\u2019s title , bachchan revealed how it is more than just a name of a film , \u201cthey ask me why this title shamitabh and i have no words to express other than if i do i shall have to reveal the story and that is a problem , for , if the story goes out , then the film is known and the element of surprise has left us and gone .\nfrom playing a young boy obsessed with the neighbourhood beauty in the sonam kapoor starrer raanjhanaa in 2013 to a young actor who is catapulted to stardom when he takes on someone else\u2019s voice in shamitabh , dhanush has definitely chosen roles to showcase his versatility . \u201cit\u2019s true when it comes to the selection of roles i have chosen to do different things , \u201d he tells city times . \u201ci am not restricted by any particular type . \u201d\ntags : abhinaya , abhishek bachchan , akshara haasan , amitabh bachchan , anurag basu , bollywood , boney kapoor , dhanush , ekta kapoor , eros , gauri shinde , hindi films , ilaiyaraaja , javed akhtar , karan johar , mahesh bhatt , r . balki , r . k . damani , rajkumar hirani , rakesh jhunjhunwala , rakeysh omprakash mehra , rekha , rohit shetty , rukmini vijayakumar , shamitabh , shobha kapoor , sunil lulla , sunil manchanda\n\u2018shamitabh\u2019 had the potential to use irony and knowingness and a self - awareness , and the presence of the most durable star in bollywood whose velvet - and - iron rumble has become part of the national soundtrack , to give us an unforgettable story of ego and identity , rejection and acceptance , success and failure . there are a few moments which sparkle , and we laugh in acknowledgement . but the rest of it is overpowered by unabashed reverence .\nin r . balki\u2019s shamitabh which has amitabh bachchan and dhanush in the lead , it is heard that bachchan will give his voice to dhanush who plays a deaf and mute junior artiste . when asked if the reports were indeed true , director balki reverted that the film is \u2018progressing well\u2019 . the film will also introduce kamal haasan and sarika\u2019s younger daughter akshara haasan . the film which took off in february has been shot in locations like mumbai and goa .\n\u201cthese are informed promotion acts by authorities that make them\u2026they may all come out true or may just fade away with some drastic last minute changes\u2026beware\u2026but i do sincerely hope they do not , \u201d he added . the 72 - year - old is excited to experience different cultures by the jaunts . \u201cthe next few days till the end of the month and the release of the film shall see many moods and places and promotions for shamitabh , \u201d he added .\nsummertime in lapland offers impossibly fresh air , wonderful colours , endless daylight and the occasional herd of reindeer clopping leisurely down the middle of the road . in 2014 saw a very different burst of activity in the area , however , when a bollywood film crew set up shop here to shoot scenes for its latest blockbuster , shamitabh . not only did the region host the largest producer of films in the world , but also its biggest star : amitabh bachchan .\na perfect teamwork put into play achieves a kind of synergy which the individual players without the teambuilding process can not be expected to match . shamitabh team of director r . balki , actors amitabh bachchan , dhanush and akshara haasan and the music composer ilaiyaraaja and all others seem to have achieved the synergism . in your blog you have beautifully drawn the lesson regarding the preeminent role of teamwork in superior accomplishment of the stated goal . from bhudeb chakrabarti kolkata 13 february 2015\nthe rest of the story is too tantalising to give away . to writer - director r balki ' s credit , the writing is fresh and witty , and the film is never boring . bachchan plays amitabh sinha like his life depends on it and dhanush is palpably brilliant . ultimately , shamitabh ends up exposing the hypocrisy and mediocrity of bollywood while subtly recalling a simpler era when movie magic actually meant something ; when acting was more about passion and less about biceps .\nso dhanush gets to play a mute bus - conductor from humble origins ( and play to his strengths \u2014 he wouldn\u2019t need to speak , he can ride on pure charm of being ordinary and pay tribute to the paa and his paa - in - law ) and amitabh bachchan gets to once again play everything he\u2019s not . in shamitabh , he plays a bitter old failure whose voice came in the way of his fame . what\u2019s this ? his falter - ego ?\nmy question is why not ? and so far the combination has worked . ilayaraja sir knows everything about music and is the real maestro . he has done a lot of experimentation in shamitabh , especially in the background scores . and pc sreeram is one of the best cinematographers in india . yes in a way i can only have thoughts ; it can only get a voice on screen through the work of these three artistes ( big - b , ilayaraja , sreeram ) .\nit\u2019s not everyday that maestro ilaiyaraaja composes a hindi film music album . for this reason itself shamitabh is special . the album\u2019s first song ishq - e - phillum like its title , makes an effort to make it sound as hindi as it gets . an ode to cinema , it\u2019s not a regular joyous anthemic song . generally speaking , suraj jagan\u2019s voice is an odd choice for a song like this . but maybe the straight melody lines needed jagan\u2019s deep - throated grunge .\nask about her role in shamitabh and abhinaya mischievously nods a \u2018no\u2019 i can\u2019t tell and says , \u201cthis is all i can share for now . balki asked us not to speak about it till the time is right . so , this is all what i can tell , \u201d she says . talking to abhinaya isn\u2019t difficult because she has been trained to read lips . and she is quick at that . \u201cplus with gadgets , i am more than fine , \u201d she says .\nalso , so much of suspension of disbelief ( how possible is it for an actor to be voiceless and not be rumbled within a moment ? ) needed to have been balanced by the sort of flourish , which makes us say okay , i buy into this , but only because you are showing it to me with quirk and smartness . \u2018shamitabh\u2019 swings between being intelligent and banal , the latter more so when it begins worshipping at the altar of the nation\u2019s most beloved voice .\nbefore i rant further , it must be said that the first fifteen minutes of shamitabh are just lovely . so richly detailed , beautifully performed and full of love for cinema . dhanush and the actors playing the younger versions of him are just too endearing for us to even imagine the slow car - wreck of a film lying ahead of us as the screenplay unfolds with a ridiculously contrived technological conceit and frustratingly lazy , convenient excuses that labour hard to manufacture willing suspension of disbelief .\nshamitabh makes bachchan play an amplified version of himself wherein he and the film are constantly making meta references to his own legend to the point of embarrassment . a case in point is an astonishingly indulgent sequence set outside a pub in london , which involves an inebriated amitabh doddering around and chewing scenery in the worst manner possible - which is basically his entire performance . if anthony gonsalves were to watch this scene , he would have only one response :\npakka idiot dikhta hai , idiot !\ndanish ( dhanush ) and amitabh ( amitabh bachchan ) are like \u2018whisky\u2019 and \u2018paani\u2019 : the former is an unprepossessing runaway , like a million others , who fetches up in mumbai in order to become a star ; the latter is a wasted alcoholic with a voice that we have known and loved , on and off screen . the coming together of the two\u2013 the \u2018mixture\u2019\u2013 becomes \u2018shamitabh\u2019 , super - successful bollywood hero , aided and abetted by a bright young thing akshara , a small cog in the big movie business .\nsha sha sha mi mi mi is a curious , retro hybrid . it starts with what sounds like an orchestral cue for the dramatic entry of a film hero and goes all techno till it segues into one of ilaiyaraaja\u2019s signature symphonic interludes . the pulsating disco beats are hard to not like , but what makes it sound so special is the way the composer plays with the phonetic break up of shamitabh , syllable by syllable . kausar munir\u2019s lyrics , \u201cdekhoon tujhko jabse jabse , zoom e camer - e - tabse tabse\u201d , are fun .\nfinally , there\u2019s a terribly staged car conversation that proves there is a god to put an end to this endless farce . while r . balki has lofty ambitions of giving us a poignant ending full of irony , a cautionary tale of what ego can do and poetic justice for all characters \u2014 all of which this story could have delivered \u2014 he botches it up with over - written contrived exposition and even more recklessly staged execution . we can bet mrs . balki ( gauri shinde who made the fantastic english vinglish ) smacked him in the head after watching shamitabh .\nthe shame is that shamitabh can\u2019t hold to a coherent line . balki muffles his most compelling ideas : the notion that the increasingly resentful amitabh might eventually withdraw his consent by keeping quiet as the cameras roll is floated in one scene , and then forgotten about in the next . having recruited bachchan with the apparent aim of making a statement , balki instead settles for taking silly , scattershot snipes . spoof musical number a piddly thing , for example , extends beyond comic breaking point to the idea that a heroine might want to relieve herself while twirling around on a mountaintop .\ndanish and akshaara stumble upon an unlikely candidate to provide these words : amitabh ( bachchan ) , an alcoholic itinerant renting space in a graveyard \u2013 the symbolism is clear \u2013 who rather resembles erstwhile doobie brother michael mcdonald dragged through a hedge backwards . amitabh is a failed leading man whose basso profondo was deemed more suitable for villains than heroes , and he can\u2019t resist the idea of getting one over on the industry that rejected him . a promise of 10 % of all future profits seals the deal , and thus the legend of shamitabh \u2013 desirable face , voice of an undesirable \u2013 is born .\nthe tone is affectionate enough for several prominent bollywood directors to cameo as unwitting dupes , but there are glimpses of a far less forgiving attack on this industry\u2019s credulousness . it\u2019s a satire engineered by a director - star pairing who\u2019ve surely seen their fair share of fakers come and go . here , producers incur \u201cnumerology issues\u201d during casting , and one nice slow - burn gag reveals just how shamitabh\u2019s more than faintly preposterous - looking action flick lifebuoy got its title . indeed , the plot relies on us buying that bollywood could go gaga for a guy with a pretty face but nothing to say for himself .\nshamitabh - hindi movie review directed by balki . casting : amitabh bachchan , dhanush , akshara haasan music : # ilayaraja cinematography : # pcsreeram # anegan movie review , # anegan review . # anegan songs yennai arindhaal movie review , ajith fans celebrations at jothi & kasi theatre , yennai arindhaal release day , ajith kumar , yennai arindhaal , anushka , trisha , gautham vasudev menon , harris jayaraj , yennai arindhaal celebration , yennai arindhaal full movie , yennai arindhaal online , yennai arindhaal , yennai arindhaal box office , yennai arindhaal collection , yennai arindhaal songs , yennai arindhaal online , yennai arindhaal , ennai arindhaal , ennai arinthaal\nwhy is r . balki regressing into this gimmick filmmaker he showed signs of becoming with paa ? if paa was the heights of fanboy filmmaking ( solely made to showcase a tall , old , handsome , baritone amitabh bachchan play everything he\u2019s not \u2014 a progeria - afflicted , young , ugly , squeaky - voiced zoozoo ) , shamitabh is yet another star - obsessed indulgence where the sole objective is to pay tribute to all things south , starting from the script which is usually written primarily as a star vehicle with a lot of self - referencing about their real - life personalities and an all - south principal cast and crew ."]}

[ 3 ]\nthe mangler 2 ( also known as the mangler 2 : graduation day ) is a 2002 film and a direct - to - video sequel to the 1995 theatrical release the mangler , which was based on a short story of the same name by stephen king . it stars lance henriksen and chelse swain . while the original was about a demon - possessed industrial laundry - machine , this film places the demon in a private school ' s computer network , where it manifests as a destructive computer virus with some of the same abilities as a ouija board .\nfingore : lin ' s hand is caught by the mangler and loses one of her fingers . it turns out to be a part of the initiation to be one of the rich and powerful people of the town .\nis one of the worst dungpiles ever committed to film mean nothing to the fine folks at barnholtz entertainment . the outfit must have picked up the\nmangler\nlicense for about $ 4 . 50 , which is quite the worthwhile investment for the distributor behind\nthe world needs another mangler sequel like it needs another leprechaun , hellraiser , or children of the corn . and somehow these things make just enough money to warrant subsequent installments , which i find sadly hilarious .\nthe mangler , in gartley ' s blue ribbon laundry service , is a laundry press owned by bill gartley ( englund ) . the trouble starts when gartley ' s niece , sherry ( pike ) , accidentally cuts herself on a lever connected to the machine and splashes blood on the mangler ' s tread while trying to avoid being crushed by an old ice box some movers are clumsily carrying past . sparks and light streams occur when both the blood and the ice box come into close contact with the mangler . later , mrs . frawley , an elderly worker , struggling to open a bottle of antacids , spills them on the moving tread . when she attempts to collect them , the safety shield inexplicably lifts up and traps her hand inside , followed by her entire body getting pulled into the machine , crushed and folded like a sheet .\napparently the plot is this : a repairman is trying to rebuild the original\nmangler\n( aka\nhaunted laundry press\n) up in his attic . he apparently becomes possessed by the evil machinery , and spends the next hour bopping people on the head with a mallet before feeding the shrieking asses into a conveyer belt surrounded by knives , saw blades , and tiny cleavers .\nwhile waiting to hear news on sherry , john receives a letter from his departed friend and confidant , photographer j . j . j . pictureman ( crutchley ) , who warns him not to trust anyone in the town missing a body part as they are possessed by the mangler . time passes and john goes to check up on her . however , to great dismay , he discovers the machine has returned to its place on the floor and resumed its duties as a speed ironer and sherry , now missing her ring finger from her encounter with the mangler , has taken her uncle ' s place as the new tyrannical owner of the blue ribbon laundry . he throws the flowers he brought her away and leaves the factory for good .\nthere are even more ridiculous aspects of the plot that i haven ' t mentioned , like the possessed refrigerator that bumps into the laundry press at one point , apparently transferring a demonic spirit in the process , or the fact that the mangler breaks free and begins chasing our heroes at the climax because it is fed some antacids ( i ' m serious ) . this is a movie impossible to describe with a straight face even though it never tips itself as being deliberately comic .\ndeal with the devil : mr . gartley got his power thanks to the beast in the machine .\nder techniker hadley findet die teile des originalen manglers und baut diese in seinem haus wieder zusammen . zusehends ger\u00e4t er in den besitz der d\u00e4monischen kr\u00e4fte der maschine und geht auf streifz\u00fcge um dem neuen mangler menschliche opfer zu besorgen . als sich zwei einbrecher ausgerechnet das haus des technikers f\u00fcr ihren n\u00e4chsten bruch ausgucken , ist hadleys dunkles geheimnis in gefahr . . .\nthe cinematographer on over the top was david gurfinkel , who also shot the movies american samurai , teenage mutant ninja turtles iii , america 3000 , the delta force , enter the ninja , and the apple .\nnow that the video has loaded , you need to close the ads before you play the video ( the close button looks like [ x ] ) .\nthe second terrifying sequel to stephen king\u0092s original yarn focuses on washing machine repairman , hadley watson , and his affinity for restoring vintage antiques . as he unknowingly purchases parts from the first mangler machine , hadley grows an unhealthy obsession with his latest contraption , an industrial apparatus boasting mechanical arms with blades , and a mouth , sporting rotating saw - like teeth . as he accidentally cuts himself on one of the machine\u0092s gears , it roars to life . . . literally . possessed by his deadly creation , the man is transformed into its living form . now the only way for him to survive is to feed on the machines fresh victims .\nif the video doesn ' t load , refresh the page and try again .\njoanne ' jo ' newton , a girl desperate for attention from her workaholic father , ends up going to an upper class private boarding school after a break in at her dad ' s computer company . the school is getting ready to install a new security system . jo and several others students are to remain behind while the others leave for spring break , as punishment from the school ' s dean , headmaster bradeen ( lance henriksen ) . however , jo , with her knowledge of computers , has hacked into the school ' s mainframe and unleashed a super virus called\nmangler 2 . 0\nin the security system .\ninappropriate hunger : the morgue worker is eating cherry tomatoes when hunton visits the place .\nthe street fighter video game series debuted in arcades in 1987 , but became huge in the 1990s with the release of street fighter ii , and cemented the franchise as one of the elite fighting video games , alongside the more violent and graphic mortal kombat .\nduring the introduction of the character of travis redfish , the house shown to be his home is the same one prominently featured in the texas chain saw massacre , which is a nod to his character\u2019s texan origin .\nsylvester stallone has reportedly claimed that he agreed to do the movie based on the pay alone , and is generally unhappy with the way that the film ultimately panned out .\nvomiting cop : officer hunton after seeing the remains of a woman caught in the machine .\nit will enhance any encyclopedic page you visit with the magic of the wiki 2 technology .\ntoday\u2019s feature is the finale of the darkman trilogy : darkman iii : die darkman die .\nthe plot of mortal kombat : annihilation picks up right where the previous movie left off , following the surprising appearance of shao kahn after the conclusion of the mortal kombat tournament . for vague reasons , the evil leader given the human heroes six days before he permanently merges the dimensions and conquers earth , which gives them time to train and come up with a plan .\nthe most evident visual problem with the movie is the effects work . while the writing is bad , that would have been forgivable if the movie had provided decent action and special effects , but unfortunately it doesn\u2019t deliver in either category . it is hard to blame this on the workers particularly , as both time and the budget were clearly shackled with unreasonable constraints . still , the product on screen looks like something from the mid 1980s , not 1997 , which particularly evident in the \u201canimality\u201d fight during the climax .\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out the latest videos and trailers , and see which spy movies topped the box office in our mission : impossible guide .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\npart of the central plot of over the top is a \u201cslobs vs . snobs\u201d scenario that is fought out internally in the mind of mendenhall\u2019s character , mike hawk ( heh ) . throughout the movie , he is caught in the crossfire between the high - class influence of his wealthy grandfather and the blue - collar style of his long - absentee father ( stallone ) , and visibly transitions between the two throughout the story . while the \u201cslobs vs . snobs\u201d conflict is hardly unique , it plays out interestingly to have the battle waged inside the psyche of a kid .\nthe martial arts movie legend sonny chiba had an unrelated franchise of films in the 1970s similarly called the street fighter , which included the sequels sister street fighter , return of the street fighter , and the street fighter\u2019s last revenge . these films are lauded as grindhouse action favorites , and are hailed by die - hard fans of the genre .\nover the top was directed and produced by menahem golan of the cannon group , who worked extensively with his co - producer cousin , yoram globus , to bring the world such movies as enter the ninja , revenge of the ninja , ninja iii : the domination , breakin\u2019 , breakin\u2019 2 : electric boogaloo , the delta force , the apple , bolero , and american ninja , among many others .\nthe cinematographer for the movie was william a . fraker , whose list of credits include spacecamp , the island of doctor moreau , wargames , 1941 , the exorcist ii , vegas vacation , and tombstone .\nthe character of sheeva , a multi -

in - law mark ( matmor ) , investigates the incident and the ones that soon follow . as the plot progresses , mark tries to convince hunton that the machine may be possessed , especially after seeing the possessed ice box , and the only way to stop the deaths is to exorcise the machine to dispel whatever demon is inhabiting it . they also come to learn gartley and the town elders have all sacrificed their virginal daughters to the machine on their 16th birthdays in exchange for wealth and power , with gartley planning to do the same to sherry to complete his end of the bargain .\n: gartley doesn ' t make a direct appearance in the original short story and isn ' t hinted to be involved with the possession of the speed ironer .\nthe one thing i do wish was incorporated into the movie was some of the music from the street fighter game , which is outstandingly memorable , particularly guile\u2019s theme . how awesome would it have been for an orchestrated version to have been included in one of the battles ?\nthe musical score for roadie was composed by craig huxley , who also provided the music for the movie alligator , wrote the theme song for walker , texas ranger , and provided sound work on motel hell and thriller .\nthe team of producers for the film included tim zinnemann ( the running man , pet sematary ) , kenzo tsujimoto ( street fighter : the animated series ) , akio sakai ( final fantasy : the spirits within ) , edward r . pressman ( judge dredd , masters of the universe ) , grant hill ( jupiter ascending , titanic ) , and sasha harari ( the doors ) .\nmeanwhile , a military unit led by curtis ( morgan freeman ) , seeks to contain everyone exposed to the aliens . curtis sends owen ( tom sizemore ) to lead an air strike against the aliens crashed spaceship . the aliens use telepathy to distract the pilots , but the four apaches and curtis ' little bird massacre most of the aliens with miniguns and missiles . the alien ship then self -

violent program on creating new lives , featuring snowflakes . then , she stabs him and pushes him against the supercomputer that he now no longer controls . the virus himself is destroyed as bradeen dies . jo managed to end the carnage and escape with her bodyguard paul , the chef , and her father .\nfor bad movie fans , i think the whole darkman series is worth checking out . both of the sequels have some upsides that justify viewing , and the original is simply a fantastic cult movie .\nroadie received a number of alternate titles for international markets , given that the slang term \u2018roadie\u2019 doesn\u2019t translate well . the spanish - language title was los locos caminos del rock ( which translates to the crazy roads of rock ) , while the italian title was similarly roadie : le strade del rock ( the road of rock ) .\nthe first thing that i noticed when watching driven is that the music absolutely does not work in the movie : it doesn\u2019t seem to sync up with what is going on in the story , and seems like it is more there to fill in space than serve a purpose . it is kind of like if the rhythm section in a rock band is trying to drown out the lead guitar : it just doesn\u2019t work , and throws the whole situation off balance .\nvisceral that audiences seemed to think that the failure of his every subsequent film to achieve that level of verisimilitude was a mistake . the misconception has colored the way the rest of hooper ' s filmography has been received , which is ironic because even when he was making\nthe editor for darkman ii was daniel t . cahn , who has done extensive editing on he small screen for shows like the young and the restless , cheers , and 7th heaven , and also cut the high - tech creature feature how to make a monster .\nthe music in over the top is terrifically iconic for the late 1980s , integrating synth , rock , country , and blues into a fantastic backdrop for this odd psuedo - action movie , sounding like what i assume a dingy truck stop in the 1980s would have .\nthe musical score for over the top was provided by giorgio moroder , who also composed music for movies like scarface , flashdance , american gigolo , midnight express , and the 1984 remake of cat people .\njonesy sees duddits beckoning him to cross the street , but as he does so jonesy is hit by a car . his injuries heal with mysterious speed and 6 months later he is able to make the group ' s annual trip . jonesy and beaver meet a man lost in the forest named rick mccarthy ( eric keenleyside ) . he is very ill so the group lets him rest inside their cabin nearby . military helicopters fly over the area and announce that the area will be quarantined . jonesy and beaver return to the cabin to find a deceased rick in the bathroom , the room covered with moss and gore . a large worm tries to escape from the bathroom after being excreted into the toilet by rick before he died . beaver attempts to trap the creature under the toilet lid , but the lamprey - like worm , with multiple rows of razor - sharp teeth , kills him . jonesy escapes from the cabin but runs into a large alien called mr . grey , who possesses jonesy ' s body .\neven though i l did a dorky bad 7 word review about the mangler i loved it when i was a kid and still love the style and madness . i was super frustrated as usual with the hoops movies with how they ' re just never scary or even unsettling , and too often feel like he ' s just kind of tone deaf . this obviously isn ' t true with texas chainsaw massacre or poltergeist , but the brilliance of those movies adds to my frustration . i have similar feelings about terry gilliam ; it ' s like their both stuck in their own imaginations going balls out 100 mph all the time . i can always watch me some liferorce , texas 2 , and funhouse , but i wish hooper had hit more home runs . he ' s like a utility baseball player that that bats . 200 , but you remember that game winning hit and that diving catch , and you fucking love him for it . he ' s my brian daubach . any advice ? i want to get over my hooper hangup .\ntrivia tidbits : horror fans will recognize reggie bannister from the phantasm series , while the true hardcores will spot director jeff burr as a lawnmowing imbecile . meanwhile , anyone with a pair of working eyeballs will recognize the dvd case as a blatant copy of the saw vibe .\nthe editor for the film was tom walls , who also cut surf ninjas , mac and me , bachelor party , and mortal thoughts .\nthe screenplay for darkman ii was written by steven mckay , who also penned diggstown and hard to kill . the story credit , meanwhile , was given to the duo of robert eisele ( the great debaters ) and larry hertzog ( hardcastle & mccormick , la femme nikita ) .\noverall , driven is a platonic ideal of a poorly conceived box office bomb . the actors are a mix of past - their - prime veterans and unbankable rookies , the story is based on a sport that isn\u2019t particularly popular in the united states , and the production budget ballooned out of control in a way that almost doomed it out of the gate . driven just about destroyed stallone\u2019s career , which was only salvaged in the end by the reboots rocky balboa and rambo a number of years later , which paved his return to action with the expendables franchise .\nthe editor for darkman iii : die darkman die was daniel t . cahn , who has done extensive editing on he small screen for shows like the young and the restless , cheers , and 7th heaven , and also cut the high - tech creature feature how to make a monster .\nthe effects team on roadie included mike moschella ( hook , wild in the streets ) , joyce rudolph ( teen wolf , hider in the house ) , john frazier ( white dog , war of the roses , hesher ) , and howard jensen ( ed wood , rocky iv ) .\ncame along one year later and revitalized the genre . stephen king horror adaptations were largely out of favor ; this was the era ( era ) of\nbut what nobody knows is that this virus literally has a mind of its own , and it controls everything around the school . at first , everybody thinks it is a blessing , but when the virus starts killing everyone in sight , the remaining students and staff attempt to escape from the building , which proves very difficult , as the virus is watching their every move . unfortunately , jo ' s friend , bradeen , has been captured by one of the computers , with wires being planted into his head . the virus controls his movements , and turns him into a walking computer . with bradeen at the virus ' bidding , he is forced to go after the students .\ni wasn\u2019t able to dig up an estimate of the production budget on darkman ii , but the low - rent cast would certainly indicate a low budget . however , the lack of a theatrical release still makes its profitability questionable .\nwrote ,\nhardly a sequel to the tobe hooper version , [ . . . ] which wasn ' t all that good in the first place ,\nthe cinematographer for driven was mauro fiore , an academy award winner with credits including avatar , southpaw , smokin\u2019 aces , training day , and the equalizer .\nthe effects workers for street fighter included zoltan elek ( leviathan , timecop , double team ) , maggie fung ( the island of doctor moreau , mission impossible iii ) , brian cox ( ghost ship , razorback ) , suzanne m . benson ( spy hard ) , dean sadmune ( the 6th day , tammy and the t -

wielding lunatic . that ' s pretty much the long and the short of\none of the other problems with this film is that it tries to crunch too much content into the movie , particularly in the form of characters . it is one thing to try to appease a fan base by including favorite characters from the source material , but there is a point where there are so many characters that none of them have the time to get fleshed out . fans of the games certainly love ermac and noob saibot , but they ( and many other characters ) are wasted in the movie , as they are too prominent to be background characters , but not important enough to be real members of the cast .\npoints for trying to neophyte filmmakers erik gardner & matt cunningham , who obviously had a moronic concept and a skimpy budget to contend with , but the kids are at the mercy of the in - name - only sequel machine , which means that any horror title with only the slightest amount of name recognition will , eventually , yield two or three sequels . the facts that tobe hooper ' s\nbloody handprint : sherry leaves one on the icebox when she hurts her hand .\ni like the concept behind the plot here : inevitably the clandestine research done by darkman would continue to mount expenses , and his vigilante activities would draw a lot of attention from both police and criminals . the concept of manufacturing his power and distributing it as a drug adds a great little commentary about capitalism and drug use to the story , which is a nice new dimension to it as well .\nas you would expect of just about any cannon release from the era , over the top is a completely ridiculous movie , and a whole lot of fun at the same time . to say the least , it lives up to its name : the arm wrestling sequences in particular can only be described as \u201cover the top , \u201d in just about any way you can imagine : they are a chorus of lights , grunts , music , facial expressions , and large , angry truckers .\nthe screenplay for roadie was written by michael ventura and big boy medlin , the latter of whom was a journalist who conceived of the central character , and went on to be an executive at e ! entertainment . story credit for the film was also given to director alan rudolph , who helmed movies like breakfast of champions , the secret lives of dentists , and afterglow , and executive producer zalman king .\nanother street fighter film adaptation was made in 2009 , called street fighter : the legend of chun li . the goal was for this movie to contrast with the 1994 effort by being far more serious in tone . however , it proved to be even less well - received , and even had lower grosses than the original .\n) and ends up going underground for the climax , again relying on his favorite trope of\nthe bad place .\noverlong , unevenly paced and cartoonishly broad ,\njohnny cage\u2019s very limited role in mortal kombat : annihilation was possibly due to the original actor , linden ashby , refusing to sign on to join the sequel\u2019s cast .\nthe cast for the movie includes writer / producer sylvester stallone ( over the top , rocky iv , rhinestone , tango & cash , the expendables , cobra , judge dredd ) , burt reynolds ( cop and a half , boogie nights , smoky & the bandit , shark , deliverance , fuzz ) , kip pardue ( remember the titans ) , stacy edwards ( superbad ) , til schweiger ( far cry , inglorious basterds ) , gina gershon ( face / off ) , estella warren ( the cooler , kangaroo jack ) , brent briscoe ( the green mile ) , and robert sean leonard ( dead poet\u2019s society , house , m . d . ) .\noutside of zalman king , the producers for roadie included john pommer , who was a production manager on the great santini , walking tall , and paths of glory , and carolyn pfeiffer , who also produced the vanilla ice vehicle , cool as ice .\nthe plot of the movie is also a bit of a problem for me : it kicks off with the young racer already having won a number of races on his own , and hitting a backslide over the course of an opening montage . stallone is brought in to reinvigorate him to make a final push in the season . the combination of a green rookie and a washed - up veteran is a good combination , but the fact that the kid is already an established winner when the story begins takes away from some of their potential dynamic . the kid already knows how to win : he isn\u2019t totally wet behind the ears and in need of mentorship , he\u2019s a professional in a slump who needs someone to pump his tires . this just isn\u2019t as compelling of a scenario to work with . for instance , a movie where stallone discovers a young racer while enjoying his retirement would be far more interesting , because there would be a deeper dynamic between them and a clearer end goal for the story .\nthe cast of die darkman die includes arnold vosloo ( 24 , the mummy ) , jeff fahey ( the lawnmower man , machete , body parts , planet terror ) , darlanne fluegel ( lock up , once upon a time in america ) , roxann dawson ( star trek : voyager ) , and nigel bennett ( the skulls ) .\na decade after the original massacre , a man obsesses over and is ultimately possessed by his machine . eventually , he finds he must feed the machine with several murders .\nand that you own all rights to the image or have authorization to upload it .\ni use wiki 2 every day and almost forgot how the original wikipedia looks like .\nof perfecting techniques ; in live mode . quite the same wikipedia . just better .\na third mortal kombat movie was already in planning when mortal kombat : annihilation came out , but the overwhelmingly negative reception to the movie effectively forced those plans into cancellation .\nthe team of producers for the movie included alison savitch ( foodfight , mortal kombat ) , joshua wexler ( foodfight , beowulf ) , brian witten ( detroit rock city , dark city , spawn ) , kevin reidy ( ever after ) , lawrence kasanoff ( foodfight , class of 1999 , chud ii : bud the chud , blood diner , mortal kombat ) , carla fry ( the mask , the long kiss goodnight , lost in space ) , and gerrit v . folsom ( queer eye for the straight girl ) .\ntrying to nail down what the problem was with this movie isn\u2019t easy . i think the failure had more to do with the world not knowing what it wanted from this movie than anything else . were fans expecting a serious , gritty action picture ? that wouldn\u2019t be at all in the spirit of the cartoonish video game , with has distinguished itself from mortal kombat by being more colorful and flamboyant , as opposed to gory and brutal .\npersonally , i don\u2019t hold any ill feelings towards this movie whatsoever . it doesn\u2019t take itself very seriously , and there are some solid humorous moments interspersed with the naturally over the top and ridiculous action story , which i welcomed . the fact that the video game is basically plot - less left a lot of wiggle room for how to construct this movie , and what they came up with is something that i don\u2019t think is half bad . some fans were clearly unhappy with some character changes that were made to fit them into the confines of the story , but at the same , there was a lot of attention put into making sure the characters at least looked their parts , which i appreciated .\na young hot shot driver is in the middle of a championship season and is coming apart at the seams . a former cart champion is called in to give him guidance .\noverall , the movie is on the edge of being entertainingly terrible . some bad movie fans are much higher on it than others , but i\u2019m in the camp of people that finds it to be a little too boring to be elite . there is certainly some amusing incompetence across the board here , and it isn\u2019t unwatchable , but it is far from the top of my bad movie list . it is still worth giving a shot for bad movie fans , and definitely a must - see for fans of the video game franchise .\nas the movie opens , a portly and dim - witted repairman named hadley ( weston blakesley ) has just finished restoring an antique machine in the spare bedroom of his house . what hadley doesn ' t realize is that he is actually under the control of said machine , which is demonically possessed and now in the process of merging itself with the hapless sap . in a twist straight out of little shop of horrors , hadley is forced to serve up living victims to the machine after discovering that it requires human sacrifices to keep operating .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nred right hand : machine ' s followers have a piece of themselves inside the thing .\ndo not upload anything which you do not own or are fully licensed to upload . the images should not contain any sexually explicit content , race hatred material or other offensive symbols or images . remember : abuse of the urltoken image system may result in you being banned from uploading images or from the entire site \u2013 so , play nice and respect the rules !\ninterestingly , the production of street fighter happened almost concurrently with the film adaptation of its key rival franchise , mortal kombat , which released in 1995 . reportedly , van damme even turned down the role of johnny cage in that movie due to his involvement with street fighter .\nthe cast of over the top is made up of sylvester stallone ( judge dredd , rocky iv , rhinestone , tango & cash , demolition man , the expendables , death race 2000 ) , robert loggia ( big , scarface , holy man ) , susan blakely ( concorde : airport \u201979 , the towering inferno ) , and rick zumwalt ( batman returns ) .\nfirst off , arnold vosloo is by all accounts a big step down from liam neeson in the lead role . neeson\u2019s portrayal really seemed cracked and generally unhinged in darkman , and he wasn\u2019t afraid to look visibly dis - shelved or frantic . vosloo , on the other hand , is way too calm and collected for what his character is supposed to be . outside of a couple of outbursts , he seems to be functioning just fine . there is an argument to be made that this is because the story takes place some time after the first movie , but it is far less entertaining at the end of the day regardless of the rationale .\nthe film was critically panned for , among other things , its similarity to another king adaptation , the lawnmower man ( whose producers king sued to remove his name from the marketing , given its threadbare connection to his original story ) , and lack of relevance to its predecessor .\ndarkman iii was directed and shot by bradford may , an experienced television director who worked on shows like dallas , hawaii five - o , jag , smallville , and supernatural , and also helm the previous entry in the darkman franchise , darkman ii : the return of durant .\n, but it might help contextualize it for viewers who would otherwise take it at face value . this is , in many ways , his most absurdist film , which is saying a lot when he also made the movie about the family of cannibals turning people into chili and the other movie about the naked vampires from space . tobe hooper has a high bar for crazy and\ndarkman iii : die darkman die was written by the duo of michael colleary ( face / off , death wish v ) and mike werb ( the mask , face / off ) .\nthe primary love interest of the movie is a 16 - year - old aspiring groupie with an obsession with alice cooper , and an apparent psychic ability to detect rock songs in radio waves . she is at times purely manipulative , but in other moments a child - like , naive , and honest character . much like the problem with meat loaf\u2019s travis redfish , she seems like an entirely different character in any given scene , to the point that the interactions between the two of them are essentially a crapshoot of personalities that could interact in any variety of ways .\nask the tropers trope finder you know that show . . . trope launch pad reviews live blogs\nif the video keeps buffering , just pause it for 5 -

faced . however , i think the good performances go beyond just him : i actually like jcvd in this picture as well . he looks on top of his game , and gets a couple of hammy moments of his own in the movie . the rest of the cast is a bit of a mixed bag , though i personally loved the comic relief portrayal of zangief and the duo of ryu and ken , which were all criticized by many .\nin its first week , it underperformed and took in $ 1 . 1m on 800 screens at the us box office .

like , down a creaky dingy corridor . like many of the other scenes in the film , this has an overtly military overtone , and in spite of the social changes against the regime which might be happening outside , the authorities of this school are eager to maintain power in this closed community .\n\u201cwhat happens when you win a war is the eradication of the pockets of resistance which are left . \u201d\n\u201cthe history of the school and the history of the country go hand in hand . \u201d\nand so we are then entitled to interpret the happenings in the school as symbols of the greater political narrative . though i don\u2019t think the film needs to be seen in this way . maria\u2019s perverted sexual awakening is a story in itself and the director , diego lerman , only allows the outside events to fully intrude during the credits when real footage is shown from a nationalist rally about the falklands / malvinas conflict .\none really clever and unique device is that the director plays tricks on us with smells . at first we think that the eager maria is leaning in to detect cigarette smoke in the boys\u2019 hair . this changes when we see her buying aftershave to secretly sniff in her bedroom . the scenes where maria lingers spying in a boy\u2019s toilet cubicle become weirder and weirder . we can almost smell the damp , amongst other more pungent things , and become more and more unsettled , disgusted and confused by her behaviour .\nwhat the film does especially well is probe dark and uncomfortable moral areas in a similar vein to the work of pablo larra\u00edn and michael haneke ( specifically post mortem and the piano teacher respectively ) . their films have little dialogue and rely on the viewer to do much of the work . quirky events turn more and more sinister until a horrifically brutal ending forces you to think back over the story to find the character\u2019s motivation .\nhowever , you don\u2019t always feel that the scale of the graphic scenes in these films is justified , and sometimes you wonder if they are pointlessly extreme or just plain gratuitous . but perhaps suspension of at least some disbelief is needed with all stories , especially the dark and creepy ones , to stop us from being genuinely disgusted or outright offended .\nmaria\u2019s problem was probably a kind of naivety . perhaps she was a little over - mothered by the two generations of women she lived with :\nor maybe she was deeply affected by the absence of her father . someone who the family simply don\u2019t talk about . it is left open as to why , and could equally be a family problem , or taking the film as an allegory , a political one .\nthe invisible eye is showing as part of \u00a1viva ! festival 2012 at cornerhouse , machester . see urltoken for screenings .\nfollow sounds and colours : twitter / facebook / google plus / mixcloud / soundcloud / bandcamp subscribe to the sounds and colours newsletter for regular updates , news and competitions bringing the best of latin american culture direct to your inbox .\nnew music : \u2018old cuba new cuba vol . 2\u2019 by gu\u00e1mpara music\u2019s dj jig\u00fce\nsounds and colours began its life in 2010 . back then it was a simple blog looking at underground culture in south america . since then it has become one of the world ' s # 1 sources for information on the topic , printing specialist books as well as maintaining this website , with collaborators based around the world . find out more about sounds and colours here .\nbook and cd offering an alternative guide to argentine culture , focusing on marginalised movements and underground scenes .\na weekend before leaving for on concert tour around latin america , gardel and lepera decide to take a break and chill in the house in the company of beautiful girls , good liqueur and tango records .\na strange virus is spreading . since the state of emergency was decreed in the country , a young couple comes to the house to take shelter . the woman is pregnant with her first child and paranoid about the contagion . as soon as the couple settles , her sitster arrives and a love affair takes place\u2026 the apocalyptic and betrayal atmosphere couldn\u2019t be edgier\u2026 when the last occupant arrives : the mother of the two , who starts to show weird health symptoms .\nlucio is a lonely man who lost his beloved wife many years ago . one night he spots a strange flashlight and suddenly a appears a spectre that resembles his wife . the neighbors gather to eliminate these creatures that haunt the area . but lucio prefers to hide her , even thought he can\u2019t avoid the threaht that represents her presence .\nit\u2019s ironic that in this road movie , it\u2019s a domestic space that offers the most possibilities for personal and interpersonal transformation .\ncollapse onto your couch and turn on your tv after a long day at work and you\u2019re greeted with ads demanding that you get off your ass and do something spontaneous . call in sick tomorrow and go to seaworld ! buy a harley and join tim allen on the open road !\nmarcia ( tatiana saphir ) , the main character in the surprising and imaginative suddenly , is just the sort of person these advertisements are aimed at . she\u2019s a lonely , heavyset shop girl who eats dinner alone while watching cooking shows and whose idea of a whim is buying a pair of sunglasses during her lunch break . when marcia\u2019s claustrophobic routine is shattered , it won\u2019t be at the behest of a marketing campaign , however , but at the point of a switchblade wielded by a woman named mao ( carla crespo ) .\nas mao and her partner , lenin ( veronica hassan ) , sweep marcia off the streets of buenos aires and drive off into argentina\u2019s flatlands , suddenly takes up the familiar call for spontaneity and makes it profound , imperative , and political . like its punk - rock kidnappers , the film is , in its own twisted way , deeply and sincerely compassionate . although marcia is terrified when mao first crudely propositions her , it becomes apparent that being swept away is the condition of her freedom . \u201cyou clearly have fantasies , \u201d a blank - faced lenin tells marcia , who doesn\u2019t disagree .\nsuddenly owes much to early ' 60s godard . in his directorial debut , diego lerman shoots in grainy , high - contrast black and white ; the effect is startling , if sometimes visually obscure , in the age of digital video . like godard , lerman likes to move but will take time out for a shot of rain hitting a windshield or a dog running on a beach . less like godard , lerman uses small movements of eyes and facial muscles , rather than dialogue , to convey meaning : a quick glance establishes dominance ; a downturned mouth tightening into a horizontal smile suggests a flowering of self respect .\nshares godard\u2019s impatience with bourgeois convention and antipathy towards the deadening effects of workaday life . early in the film , mao , lenin , and marcia sit down to smoke in a burger king . a cheerful employee , whom we first see in profile next to her employee of the month plaque , comes over to ask them to put out their cigarettes . mao and lenin ignore her . \u201ci hate these people , \u201d says lenin , when the worker leaves . it\u2019s not the usual contempt with which people treat uniformed service workers \u2013 it\u2019s harsher . the person who agrees to become a smiling automaton eight hours a day occupies a particularly debased spot in mao and lenin\u2019s world .\nmarcia defends the employee of the month . \u201cwhat makes you think she\u2019s different from me ? \u201d she asks mao . \u201chave you ever had a job ? \u201d in fact , as we saw earlier , mao and lenin make their money by stealing and reselling mopeds , while marcia sweeps , invoices , and stares into space at the lingerie shop where she works . at this point , suddenly risks slipping into a glorification of \u201clifestyle\u201d anti - capitalism couched in a godardian clich\u00e9 : the moped thief as ultimate anti - bourgeois heroine . thankfully , the movie is too good and too complex for that .\nwhile trying to make their way back to buenos aires from the coast , the trio ends up at the door of lenin\u2019s aged aunt blanca . blanca , played wonderfully by the late beatriz thibaudin , brings the movie down to earth at the same time she opens it up , just as mao and lenin opened up the movie earlier . tolerant and generous , blanca is an example of a life that is rooted but open to everyday meanderings . she keeps a chicken coop , and when she takes lenin along to sell a few eggs to her neighbor , the neighborly visit turns into an afternoon of dog bites and drinking songs . we see lenin smile for the first time .\nblanca\u2019s is a life that feels , to use a tricky word ,\nauthentic\n; miles away from both the employee of the month and from mao . it is in blanca\u2019s house , also populated by an artist ( mar\u00eda merlino ) and a student ( marcos ferrante ) renting rooms there , that the relational dynamics between the three girls shift in surprising and affecting ways . it\u2019s ironic that in this road movie , it\u2019s a domestic space that offers the most possibilities for personal and interpersonal transformation .\nthe dvd extras are sparse : a director\u2019s bio , a collection of stills , and some trailers . the bio does include a telling quote from lerman , however . the director says that it\u2019s important to \u201ccreate a world\u2026 [ where ] anything can happen at anytime . \u201d it\u2019s an interesting suggestion that a fully lived life is not only an individual imperative , but also a social one .\nbut after watching suddenly , one feels the need for a rear - guard defense , rather than a utopian building project . in argentina , as in many places in the world , free time , time spent not working , is under attack . and it\u2019s time , more than anything else , that made blanca\u2019s rich life possible . trips to seaworld are all well and good , but a chicken coop and wide - open afternoons truly define freedom .\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\nit ' s a testament to zevin ' s understanding of multiple age groups that she ' s able to capture a variety of women at various life stages . her portrayals feel honest and true .\nvisual artist / silos frontman walter salas -

professional actors , siddiq barmak ' s film is about a widow ( zubaida sahar ) who disguises her 12 - year - old daughter ( marina golbahari ) as a boy so that at least one family member can earn money . the child however is dispatched to an all - male taliban training school , where she ' s named osama and where her life depends on keeping her true identity disguised .\nfrom the opening shots , barmak immerses us in the horrors of everyday life under the taliban , with burka - clad women who are protesting for the right to work being hosed down by watercannons and herded into trucks . kabul resembles a post - apocalyptic nightmare : shattered buildings billowing black smoke , hospitals without even the most basic of supplies , and a government that forbids women from working outside the home or from walking anywhere without the company of a male relative .\naided by golbahari ' s remarkably convincing lead performance , barmak generates considerable suspense over the fate of osama and her female relatives . he also demonstrates real talent for creating images which vividly convey their chilling story . rituals are shown to be both oppressive - the emphasis amongst the true believers on prayers and cleansing - and , in some cases , comforting ( such as the secret wedding ceremony , which is attended by women behind closed doors ) .\nmotifs of entrapment abound , whilst close - ups of shoes highlight the taliban ' s fanatical repression of femininity : a woman must cover not just her face with a burka but also her feet lest they prove sexually arousing . given that the taliban systematically banned films , including those of barmak himself , it ' s fitting that osama should provide such an unflinching denunciation of its nightmarish regime .\nthese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors . this process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves .\nalvaray , luisela . 2008 . national , regional , and global : new waves of latin american cinema .\nalvaray , luisela . 2013 . hybridity and genre in transnational latin american cinemas .\nandermann , jens . 2014 . exhausted landscapes : reframing the rural in recent argentine and brazilian cinema .\n, ed . sara brandellero , xix\u2013xxxi . cardiff : university of wales press . print .\nbueno , fernanda . 2007 . motorcycle diaries : the myth of che guevara in the twenty -

redeeming grossness , such as film critics , will be likely sickened by some of taxidermia ' s excremental excesses . narratively , screenwriter zs\u00f3fia ruttkay seems to have shot his thematic wad just past midsection , as the barn - yarn oozes downward into a bloated and juvenile heap . for a film so pessimistic about mankind , taxidermia erupts with some lighthearted technical inspiration : cinematographer gergely poh\u00e1rnok ' s compositions are wickedly hilarious , while production designer adrien asztalos ' concoctions are peculiarly gross .\nurltoken taxidermia : csaba czene , gergely trcsnyi , marc bischoff , istvn gyuricza , piroska molnr , gbor mt , gza hegeds d . , zoltn koppny , erwin leder , adl stanczel , va kuli , lajos parti nagy , gyrgy plfi , zsfia ruttkay : movies & tv\nyet , in its crudity there are brainy bursts . with a brazil - like midsection that lampoons the brutish culture of the former communist bloc , taxidermia churns with some delicious dollops of social and psychological satire . there ' s some shrewd monty pythonish satire , with scads of mordantly nutty images .\ngyorgy palfi ' s new picture , taxidermia , started out as a straight family saga . it quickly warped into a grotesque parable of central europe , complete with fiery ejaculations and curly pig ' s tails .\nthe film had a life of its own ,\nhe tells phil hoad .\ncineastes will conjure up recollections of early bu\u00f1uel and wertmuller : bloodied slabs of meat and huge flabs of female buttocks . such is the visual poetry of the pungently graphic assault on the viewing senses in taxidermia , which is likely to be viewed in its bloody entirety by only thoracic surgeons and maniacs .\nwhile working on taxidermia , p\u00e1lfi won the 2004 sundance / nhk international filmmakers award , a $ 10 , 000 grant intended to be used to help the filmmaker create his next project . the grant includes a promise for japanese distribution for the completed film ( estimated value : $ 90 , 000 ) .\ntaxidermia is a hungarian film that is , at its core , simply the story of three generations of hungarian men and the events that shape their lives ( based off short stories by lajos parti nagy ) . it\u2019s what\u2019s in their lives that\u2019s so bizarre , so taboo , and what makes this film the kind the viewer remembers forever .\ntaxidermia is an art film for horror fans . it won\u2019t scare you but it will visually shock you and blow your mind . i really wish i\u2019d been at cannes in 2006 so i could have seen the looks on the intelligencia\u2019s , both horror and otherwise\u2019s , faces when this pure , unadulterated slice of artistic insanity unspooled before their eyes .\nthere is obvious intelligence , imagination and craft in taxidermia . that makes it a bit disappointing when we experience the movie\u2019s the apparent lack of purpose . it does not even seem to be about purposelessness ; it plays instead like a collection of scenes that intend to shock us with their repulsiveness , novelty and weirdness , which are redeemed by the director\u2019s skillful ability to weave these threads into a strange kind of beauty . it\u2019s curiously empty , and seems to have even less heart than it\u2019s final exhibit . is the movie recommended ? those with strong stomachs , who want to see sights that they have never seen before , have already made up their minds long before they\u2019ve reached this point . those hoping for an encounter with something deep , existentially resonant and mysterious are likely to be disappointed , and view taxidermia as little more than a well - staged geek show . the best thing that can be said for taxidermia , i think , is that the thrill of the strange , forbidden sights p\u00e1lfi delivers might ignite a lifelong obsession with weird cinema .\ntaxidermia is a grotesque triptych following three generations of a hungarian family . a sex - starved second world war orderly hallucinates fiery ejaculations . his illegitimate son , sans tail , goes on to become a champion speed eater under the communist regime . finally , his grandson , an ascetic taxidermist looks of a piece with his own specimens in present - day budapest .\nif you wanted to sum up this film , you\u2019re best bet would be the the \u201clittle match girl\u201d scene . in that scene , our \u201chero\u201d imagines himself into a stunningly rendered pop - up book set - piece that tim burton probably wishes he could still pull off . the scene then immediately devolves into an uncomfortable pedophilic fantasy . that\u2019s taxidermia in a nutshell .\ngrotesque . absurd . profane . hilarious . revolting . when searching for words to describe hungarian director gyorgy palfi ' s hyper - bizarre follow - up to his award - winning 2002 feature debut , hukkle , these are just a few of the colorful adjectives that spring immediately to mind . as difficult as taxidermia may be to review , however , to give the impression . . . read more\ntaxidermia is an art house movie , released in february 2006 . it is a story about a family .\nthe literary definition refers to the kind of story of a family which thomas mann created : three generations - grandfather , father , son - integrate the world . the grandfather bases the family , he starts the world ( progenitor ) . his son , the father takes the family to the top so that the son would waste the values obtained with difficulties while he puts down the past , makes it a whole , raises it to a level of different value . in taxidermia the son ' s scale of values , this very strong subjectivity turns the classical story of a family upside down and adds some wonders to it making the stories straight with the not everyday position of the perspective .\n[ source urltoken ]\nas such , those who reveled in such cinematic synapses as the eyeball being slit in un chien andalou will gravitate toward this outrageous , and frequently hilarious , piece de film . similarly , those whose delectations run toward defecation will be perversely tantalized by its aberrant abstractions . it will be hardly anyone ' s cup of tea , but for those with a cinematic stomach for huge bowls of vomit and innards , taxidermia should sate the aesthetic appetite .\nof course , palfi - the son of a taxi driver and a secretary - is a part of this history himself . in this respect , he shares something with the last link in taxidermia ' s chain .\nthe third one denies everything that went before . but he transforms everything into a story and a gesture that the whole world can understand . by some sort of artistic creation , the family is put under the spotlight .\nthe themes of copulation , consumption and preservation are studied in perverse , visceral and controversial detail in one of the most outlandish and exceptional tales of a family\u2019s history ever to grace the screen . this is no fanny and alexander , although , magic realism does intervene from time to time , taxidermia is a much darker and more desperate , yet is infused with an elusive lightness of being , an otherworldly zest for life , even at its grimmest .\ngyorgy palfi ' s taxidermia tells the stories of three generations of hungarian men ( one a sexually frustrated , low - life , peeping - tom soldier , his son who is an obese communist champion speed eater , and the grandson , a twisted taxidermist who is trying to invent a machine so he can embalm himself ) while at the same time satirically mocking hungary ' s struggles as it passes from imperial servitude , through soviet authority , to independent lethargy .\nto spare our gentle and highly desirable reading demographic from the tawdry minutiae of the plot ( such that it is ) , suffice it to say that taxidermia bursts along via a series of bodily functions : rutting , vomiting , slogging , farting , copulating and every other\ning\ntoo impolitic to print . after a while , you tend to get the feeling that filmmaker gy\u00f6rgy p\u00e1lfi views mankind with the same level of regard he holds for barnyard animals .\nsports fantastic production design , costume , and special effects , the performances are brave and compelling , and the camera work and mise - en - scene is frequently brilliant ; taxidermia has to be seen to be believed . think hans christian anderson , gael garcia marquez , david lynch , dusan makavejev , jan svankmajer and david cronenberg all in the same dark room listening to each other\u2019s strange and sordid secrets and finding ways to make each other chuckle and gross each other out .\ngy\u00f6rgy p\u00e1lfi was interested in taking the shock tactics of porn and horror , and incorporating them into a dramatic , blackly comic narrative so they become less about the self - serving machinations audiences are used to perceiving them as , and become integral parts of a real world , albeit one that still appears surreal and fantastical to a cinema audience . taxidermia is hard to categorise , which makes it all the more intriguing ; it\u2019s essentially a tenebrous comedy , black as midnight on a moonless might .\nafter seeing clips of taxidermia on youtube , i thought i had found a really powerful ( if somewhat tasteless ) movie . unfortunately , it turns out that most of the best parts were those clips . the story of three generations starts out strong enough ( think wozzeck ) , but quickly deteriorates ; the ending is a unsuccessful attempt to be shocking for the sake of being shocking . rent , but don ' t buy . the soundtrack ( by amon tobin ) is another matter entirely : excellent !\nbut with his fabulist ' s flair , palfi has more obvious attractions for hollywood than the grime - smeared mittel - european naturalists . he admits that taxidermia , after the quirky bucolic rhythms of his graduation feature hukkle , was an attempt to prove he could handle dialogue and broaden his scope . his next project , a fairy - tale , is building in the same direction . if he is being squeezed along his own predestined passage towards los angeles , here ' s hoping that his inner pervert stows along , too .\nthe score takes an old school approach to music for cinema with recurring themes set in various contexts guided by the narrative . a musical depiction of some truly bizarre imagery , this album includes previously unreleased full - length versions of music from the film alongside short pieces made for specific scenes . as a bonus , we included the epic ' here comes the moon man ' heard here in its original context . the music for taxidermia was written during the making of foley room and shares elements from the albums lovingly crafted source material .\nthere are four erect penises in the first thirty minutes of taxidermia ( possibly five ; i\u2019m not going back to check ) . that\u2019s probably more erect penises than you\u2019ve seen in the last five movies you\u2019ve watched , unless you have hair on your palms . it\u2019s two and a half times as many erect penises as in the entire 109 minutes of lars von trier\u2019s controversial antichrist ( 2009 ) . among movie nudity taboos , the erect penis is the gold standard ( the sequence goes buttocks , breasts , pubic hair , flaccid penis , erect penis ) . not only do taxidermia \u2018s viewers get to see an erect penis , they see it in live rutting action ! even more novel is a magical realist , computer generated ejaculation . due to flagging censorship , it\u2019s only been possible to slip an erect penis into even the most daring of art films in the last decade , and p\u00e1lfi plays with the image of the erect penis as if he\u2019s found a new cinematic toy . but they\u2019re really slipped into the narrative quite naturally , so you hardly notice them at all .\ntaxidermia is continually squalid , but also shot through with the salty humour palfi displayed in his acclaimed debut feature , hukkle . plus there is a kind of queasy release in watching the three characters giving way to each other and to time , squeezed out by the peristalsis of history . oreg , the speed eater , embodies the crude gigantism of communist ambitions . his son balatony , forced to care for his blob of a dad , is emaciated by way of reply , but - hyper - restrained - can ' t participate in the pleasures of capitalist living .\nthe heroes of taxidermia are three men . three generations of a family , who happen to live in eastern europe , in hungary . the story of the grandfather , the awkward batman of a ruthless captain in the 2nd world war ; the father , who is a professional sports man , a competitive eater during the socialist era ; and the story of his son , who is a taxidermist , the sculptor of organic material , is told by the youngest member of the family . surrealism and historical facts get mixed up in his imagination , creating a kind of\nfairy realism\n.\nin this sense , the separate generations of the family in taxidermia perform their belonging to the group and their relations to the historical forces they have no control over by caricaturized incorporate gestures . in the following , i will try to show what \u201cmaster narrative\u201d is practiced by the characters across the various political systems of twentieth - century hungary . ultimately , by connecting these different performative rites through the classical novelistic grandfather - father - son structure , the film turns the progression of the male bloodline ( here represented as history ) into a comedy that ironically revisits and criticises the idea of causative historical progress .\noverall , structurally , this is a big mac of a film : a bloated glutinous middle dwarves the two ends of an undercooked bun . i could go on , but i don\u2019t want to give too much away . the film is certainly well worth seeing for the good bits . p\u00ed\u00a1lfi has lots of flair , but i hope he works out what is really important to him next time . taxidermia has been lavishly praised elsewhere , but art - house directors with an eye to cinematic trickery are especially ill - served by an over - grateful , uncritical response that potentially allows them to slip into mannerism .\nmovies break & csekk ii ( 1994 , short ) a hal ( 1997 , short ) valaki kopog \u2013 hetedik szoba : \u00f6rd\u00f6glakat ( 1998 , short , cottbus 1998 ) k\u00f6rbe ( 1999 , short , cottbus 1999 ) hukkle ( 2002 , audience award , special prize , best debut film , cottbus 2002 / 2005 ) taltosember vs . ikarus ( 2002 , short , cottbus 2003 ) taxidermia ( 2005 , cottbus 2006 ) nem leszek a bar\u00e1tod ( 2009 , doc , short ) nem vagyok a bar\u00e1tod ( 2009 , cottbus 2009 ) magyarorsz\u00e1g 2011 ( 2012 , segment ) final cut \u2013 h\u00f6lgyeim \u00e9s uraim ( 2013 , cottbus 2012 )\np\u00e1lfi ' s universe is multifaceted , mysterious and disregards logic behind just as willingly as one might abandon an old pair of shoes . his camera , often close up to his protagonists , makes visible the traces of time ; whether these are a reflection of a life well lived is left for the viewer to decide . the latest production from the director of taxidermia , whose final cut opened the filmfestival cottbus in 2012 , provides renewed evidence of p\u00e1lfi ' s ability to devise absurd reflections of everyday existence . the visual experience is one you won ' t forget in a hurry , neither on the way home , nor within the safety of your own four walls .\nhe genre known as body horror has largely fallen out of favour with film - makers since the century turned - overtaken by such upfront , extrovert threats as terrorism or pending environmental meltdown . yet all that may be about to change with the release of taxidermia by the 33 - year - old hungarian director gyorgy palfi . the film ' s first chapter features a sour - faced snipping a curly pig ' s tail off his newborn son , and that ' s just for starters . by the time the last section wraps up with a mighty act of surgical self - destruction , you know you ' re in the grip of a full - blown cronenbergian imagination .\nthis \u20ac2m - budget movie is produced by eurofilm studio ( hungary ) for 50 % , by memento films ( france ) for 25 % , and by amour fou filmproduktion ( austria ) for 25 % . taxidermia also received 200 , 000 euros from the european fund eurimages , as well as the support of arte france cin\u00e9ma , not to mention the prize won at the sundance film festival . the reason why the film got so much support from all these different sources is that gy\u00f6rgy palfy proved very talented with his first film hic ( from crime to crime ) which won several prizes such as european discovery at the 2002 european film awards en 2002 , and a special distinction as best young director in san sebastian .\ntaxidermia\ncontains three generational stories , about a grandfather , a father , and a son , linked together by recurring motifs . the dim grandfather , an orderly during world war two , lives in his bizarre fantasies ; he desires love . the huge father seeks success as a top athlete \u2014 a speed eater \u2014 in the post - war pro - soviet era . the grandson , a meek , small - boned taxidermist , yearns for something greater : immortality . he wants to create the most perfect work of art of all time by stuffing his own torso . historical facts and surrealism become intertwined as magical realism , like in the works of gabriel garc\u00eda marquez or the hungarian writer lajos parti nagy ; the script is based on two of the latter ' s stories . palfi added the third story , that of the grandson the taxidermist .\ndisgusting at times but also beautiful in the way it is presented . a great visual style , wonderful lighting and an imaginative series of events leads to a film unlike most others . one scene involves a pop - up book come to life . a whole film should be shot this way as that single moment was fantastic . another great thing about this film is that you will see things you will never see anywhere else , such as a man shooting fire from his penis and a man having sex with a pig ' s carcass . this will be hard to stomach for some , and keeps it ' s comments on humanity buried beneth the surface . if you want to see some great vomiting sequences i suggest you watch taxidermia . foul , gross and weird , just like life . well maybe a bit fouler , grosser and weirder than life .\nin my analysis of the individuals\u2019 strategies to deal with the historical totality surrounding them , i will rely on henri lefebvre\u2019s notions of the quotidian and the festival . the dialectical interplay between connerton\u2019s framework of collective remembering and identity formation , and lefebvre\u2019s descriptions about the function of the festival allows me to approach taxidermia as a meta - historical text . through a symptomatic - thematic reading , i will try to reconstruct another text that lies at the bottom of p\u00e1lfi\u2019s film , which appears to be criticizing the idea that we can explain the present by pointing out its historical causes in the past . the question about the linearity or causality between the past and the present has significant political implications , and the pro - and contra arguments are part of the rhetoric of different political platforms that surround many important ideological questions in contemporary hungary about race , sexuality or class issues .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant -

his triumphant copulation scene is a mixed - up blend of crude sexual fantasy and uncertain reality , and although his superior takes vengeance on him for the tryst , the ambiguous shots suggest it\u2019s as possible he was punished for ruining a feast as for despoiling one of the lieutenant\u2019s women .\nk\u00e1lm\u00e1n returns for the third segment , only now he\u2019s grown into an immobile blob who spends his days watching sports eating on television , fattening his cats , and berating his rail - thin son , lajoska . the third generation is a cadaverous taxidermist . lajoska looks like a walking corpse with thinning wisps of blond hair , and he\u2019s especially repulsive in the harsh artificial light of the grocery store , where he understandably grosses out the female cashier as he tries vainly to flirt with her . he and his obscene father have a domestic squabbles , but lajoska has a secret plan to escape this world , embodied in an elaborate contraption in the basement of the taxidermy shop . the clinical portraits of meat and organs in this final segment seem tame compared to the perversion and vomit that has come before .\n\u201c\u2026p\u00e1lfi\u2019s followup to the startlingly original \u2018hukkle , \u2019 this widescreen exercise in the confrontational continues his fascination with the mysteries of nature but substitutes an oddly skewed sense of wonder with a full frontal sensory assault\u2026 the total is much less than the sum of its parts . rather , the pic is more like a bigscreen equivalent of children pulling wings off live flies . \u201d\u2013eddie cockrell , variety ( contemporaneous )\n\u201c\u2026only for fans of the bizarre and certainly not for those with even a faintly weak stomach . but for those meeting both qualifications : welcome to a devious little nightmare . \u201d\u2013matthew sorrento , film threat ( contemporaneous )\n\u201c\u2026a brilliant , often grotesquely bizarre allegory on life in hungary from world war ii to the present , a surrealist fantasy exploring the limits of the body and its desires and altogether a darkly funny comedy on the human condition in extremis . \u201d\u2013kevin thomas , the los angeles times ( contemporaneous )\n( this movie was nominated for review by reader \u201crob . \u201d suggest a weird movie of your own here . )\na bizarre and aggressively unpleasant film . i think my brother best summed it up when he turned to me halfway through the film and said , \u201cthis has been bugging me for a while , but what the hell is this ?

( 2017 ) review cannibals and carpet fitters ( 2017 ) review\nfirst , we meet morosgov\u00e1nyi ( czene ) , a hungarian soldier in world war ii with a harelip . morosgov\u00e1nyi is many things . first and foremost though , he is a man with an active imagination . most of his mental journeys revolve around sexual pleasure . he fantasizes about the pretty women in the barracks and the rather large older woman who also lives there . much of his life is predicated around sex , whether it be peeping at women bathing , imagining himself transported into the fairy tale \u201cthe little match girl\u201d and using it to masturbate , and , the first thing one sees in the movie , imagining that his penis can shoot fire .\nthrough one of the more bizarre sequences in the movie ( that simultaneously touches on a form of bestiality in addition to general sex ) , morosgov\u00e1nyi manages to impregnate the older woman , seemingly immaculately . the woman then gives birth to a happy boy\u2026with a pig\u2019s tail . after the tail is removed , the boy grows up and we enter the film\u2019s second act , following k\u00e1lm\u00e1n ( tr\u00f3cs\u00e1nyi ) , who has grown up to become a rather large man and a competitive speed eater . in this movie\u2019s reality , competitive speed eating has become a worldwide pastime and sport , watched by large crowds of cheering fans who revere the competitors like gods . the \u201csport\u201d includes both the eating of vast quantities of food\u2026and the profuse vomiting of said food back up ( usually during scenes that also feature regular dialogue in between the puking ) . k\u00e1lm\u00e1n falls in love with an equally large woman , also a speed eater , and elopes with her in the middle of what was to be a rival eater\u2019s wedding to her . they have a child as well .\nin the third act , this child of two very large people has grown up into lajoska ( bischoff ) , a scrawny , thin , near - albino man who has quite the talent for taxidermy . in addition to his daily renowned life in that field , lajoska also takes care of his father\u2019s cats ( who are being \u201ctrained\u201d to be speed eaters ) and his father\u2026who has reached a level of obesity that makes jabba the hutt look like richard simmons . k\u00e1lm\u00e1n is perpetually disappointed with and disgusted by his thin son and was left by his wife who went to coach the hungarian national team in olympic speed eating . lajoska is growing rapidly disenchanted being continually insulted by the man who he has devoted his whole life to caring for and has an angry falling out with his father . while he relents later , it may be too late to rebuild the bridge .\ndoesn\u2019t sound like horror , does it ? that would be because , rather than being a \u201cstrict\u201d horror film , this is actually more of a\u2026deeply insane artistic vision . we are talking about a film that in some way or form covers : sex addiction , masturbation , pedophilia , bestiality , suicide , obesity , overeating , vomiting , celebrity culture , taxidermy , and\u2026art . somehow , undeniably , this film is a work of art . whether it be the sequence where morosgov\u00e1nyi thinks about all the people who have used a bathtub ( and the film shows each person in it , flipping the screen up down and around ) or the final sequence of the film , which i won\u2019t spoil , but which takes an idea that could be done in any gory horror movie and turns it into a true work of art in more ways than one , this film shows how to take some of the most disturbing , taboo , and even disgusting visuals and make them beautiful ."]}

(\nbittersweet\n, page 71 hardback version ) . susan states that after her appearance ( perhaps her premier ) on broadway , anderson had given her a piece of family heirloom jewelry as a gift .\nsaid :\nthe sudden death of anderson lawler , an occasional broadway producer at flower - fifth ave . hospital the other day grieved his friends - - and surprised them , too . there was no chance to pay their respects ; his body was taken to lynchburg , va . for burial , accompanied by a daughter they never knew he had .\nit ' s possible this\ndaughter\nwas susan strasberg who would have been 20 or 21 at this time .\ng ' which also starred my favorite male actor of all time : gary cooper . they dated together , even though cooper ' s mother rejected the relationship from the beginning . she thought of lupe as vulgar and tasteless . lupe was indeed a hot mess . she loved to act low - class characters and give parties with\nstag films\n. lupe was extremely jealous by nature and was especially angry over gary cooper ' s friendship with anderson lawler who was known as a swisher\na guest lecturer at boston university and boston college on internet strategy and e - business , tom anderson is vice president for corporate communications at millipore , a bioscience / biotech multinational company . he resides in needham , mass . , with his wife , janice .\nand does not mention lawler , she also states that she was\neight years an exile\nwhen she returned to new york in 1931 . however lobenthal ' s biography of tallulah does mention that lawler ,\n. . . who had been playing a small role , now replaced douglas gilmore as tallulah ' s errant fiance . . . . ' very funny and very dirty ' , sam jaffe recalled . ' he and bankhead were marvelous friends . '\n(\n. in dec 1939 we find that :\nanderson lawler accompanied the jack warner ' s to new york for a holiday .\nevidently he accompanied them on other occasions as well , as i find , in oct 1938 , all three arriving in southampton on the\nqueen mary\n. in feb 1940 we see that :\ncountess dorothy di frasso celebrated her birthday with a buffet dinner at her beverly home .\nsome of the guests listed there were :\n. . . jack warner ,\ni remember tom lawler was always prepared and enthusiastic about class and encouraging , a model for anyone doing anything at any time . he knew his subject excessively well , and he made it come alive . he had a big impact . i had great\nwhen cooper eventually took his own apartment on argyle avenue , anderson casually moved in . . . . pn [ patricia neal - wj ] confirmed in conversation with sms [ the author - wj ] that she knew of this relationship .\napparently 1929 is the crucial year here in figuring out the exact detailed timeline to see if it ' s possible that the reports of lawler ' s involvement with cooper have any evidence . certainly we ' ve seen that they hung - out together at least once , since dorothy herzog reported them together , as i ' ve already reported above .\non oct 1957 , the new york times is running the advertisement ,\nlyn austin and thomas noyes , in association with anderson lawler , present nancy walker , in a new musical comedy copper and brass\nat the martin beck theatre . critic brooks atkinson , destroys it , in a column a week later ,\nunfunny . . . uninteresting . . . unlovely . . . banal and routine .\nhe gives a nod however to alice pearce as\nan amusing school principal\n.

'\nand as every gay and lesbian individual knows , that ' s all the difference in the world - - both personally and publicly . dietrich and garbo , whose sapphic dealings are far better - known , didn ' t use it either . ultra - butch director dorothy arzner ( who , mann tells us , once had a fling with billie burke ) took grave exception to it . and when he was living with character actor anderson lawler , gary cooper would doubtless have been shocked to have been referred to as\nbi .\nteachers before and after : rev . william healy , s . j . , john mayer ; stephen teichgraeber , john dorenkamp , and others . but tom lawler was a trigger , and he catalyzed a radical change in my direction , thinking and writing . he had career advice and back - up career advice , which came later when i was a senior , advice which helped me adapt and survive the fat belly of the baby boom .\n. in jan 1934 , lawler is mentioned in the cast of the acclaimed film\nbeloved\nwhich is there called\na remarkable demonstration of the flexibility of the motion picture\n. in aug 1934 , he is mentioned in the cast of\nlet ' s fall in love ( 1934 )\nstarring ann southern . in mar 1935 , he is mentioned in the cast of\nlet ' s talk it over\nstarring chester morris , mae clarke and frank craven .\nin oct 1931 , we see lawler ' s mention in the cast of george cukor ' s\ngirls about town\n( 1931 ) :\nthe paramount expose of big - time gold - digging among the haute monde of new york .\nin this film he plays the husband of kay francis who is on the verge of cuckolding him with joel mccrea . i ' ve just discovered that the film\ngirls about town\nexists in full - length on youtube , so i ' ll be compiling it soon into my article\nactor , producer . appeared as a stage actor throughout the 1920s , entering in the motion picture business in 1929 and appeared in about 35 films . his last film appearance was 1939 . he was a talent scout first for warner brothers until 1938 , then with the sam jaffe agency before going with 20th century - fox as an associate producer . in 1945 , he was promoted to producer and produced the film , ' somewhere in the night ' with john hodiak and nancy guild . he was transferred to the new your office in late 1946 and remained there until the late 1940s . during the 1950s , he produced a number of plays , including ' oh men , oh women\n, which was later made a movie by 20th century - fox . he was thr godfather of susan strasberg .\n, citing spring hill cemetery , lynchburg , lynchburg city , virginia , usa ; maintained by find a grave .\nthank you for fulfilling this photo request . an email has been sent to the person who requested the photo informing them that you have fulfilled their request\noops , something didn ' t work . close this window , and upload the photo ( s ) again .\nmake sure that the file is a photo . photos larger than 8mb will be reduced .\nall photos uploaded successfully , click on the < b > done button < / b > to see the photos in the gallery .\nthe sponsor of a memorial may add an additional 10 photos ( for a total of 30 on the memorial ) .\nyou are only allowed to leave one flower per day for any given memorial .\nthe email does not appear to be a valid email address . verify and try again .\nthis flower has been reported to site administrators for review . the flower will remain visible until an administrator has reviewed it .\nquickly see who the memorial is for and when they lived and died and where they are buried .\nfor memorials with more than one photo , additional photos will appear here or on the photos tab .\nall photos appear on this tab and here you can update the sort order of photos on memorials you manage . to view a photo in more detail or edit captions for photos you added , click the photo to open the photo viewer .\nflowers added to the memorial appear on the bottom of the memorial or here on the flowers tab . to add a flower , click the \u201cleave a flower\u201d button .\nuse the links under \u201csee more\u2026\u201d to quickly search for other people with the same last name in the same cemetery , city , county , etc .\nremove advertising from a memorial by sponsoring it for just $ 5 . previously sponsored memorials or famous memorials will not have this option .\nsave to an ancestry tree , a virtual cemetery , your clipboard for pasting or print .\nthanks for using find a grave , if you have any feedback we would love hear from you .\ngreat news !

graciously allowed us this preview of a complementary article from their november issue . we hope you enjoy it .\nver the past three decades , the french philosopher pierre manent has published a series of works on the destiny of the west and our modern political condition that are both profound and\u2014atypical of parisian intellectuals\u2014expressed in luminous prose . in books that include\n( 2010 ) , manent engages with the west\u2019s greatest political minds , from aristotle and cicero to machiavelli and montesquieu and beyond . these thinkers aren\u2019t prisoners of time , manent insists ; if studied attentively , they speak truths\u2014often explosive truths\u2014across the ages .\nmost of manent\u2019s major books are now available in english translation . until now , though , no single - volume introduction to his thought has been available to englishspeaking readers . seeing things politically , a series of interviews with manent , conducted by b\u00e9n\u00e9dicte delorme - montini , covering his major influences , spiritual life , and intellectual career , solves that problem . ably translated by ralph c . hancock ( the french original appeared in 2010 , to accompany the metamorphoses of the city ) , with a helpful introduction by daniel j . mahoney , the book can be read in one or two sittings . it is a small masterpiece .\nmanent makes his ambition clear to his interlocutor in his very first responses . since he reached adulthood , he tells delorme - montini , he hasn\u2019t been attracted to the left , which pursues fantasies\u2014new political and moral orders that it can conjure and create . \u201cwhat i want instead , \u201d manent says , \u201cis to understand\u201d : society as it is , he maintains , is more

' an engaging tale about a contemptible , rebellious cop whose life takes a continuous downward spiral as he struggles to keep his position on the police force .\nafter initially saying the department couldn ' t afford to buy more film until the new fiscal year begins in july , department officials this week scraped together $ 40 , 000 to replenish the supply . but police officials concede that is only a temporary solution .\nadvocates for battered women agree . patty giggans , executive director of the los angeles commission on assaults against women , said :\ni think it ' s absolutely ridiculous that they ' re driving around with cameras , proven successful , and no film .\nwoody harrelson , who portrays a corrupt police officer and vietnam vet in the oren moverman - directed drama rampart , talks to the hollywood reporte r ' s executive features editor stephen galloway about training for the intense role , and getting into trouble in his youth .\nbut you don\u2019t have to wait until \u201cthe hunger games\u201d spring debut to see a truly stellar woody harrelson performance . \u201crampart\u201d opens in new york and la for an oscar - qualifying one - week run starting on wednesday before opening wide in january . don\u2019t miss it .\n\u202arampart - this cop drama has a great cast and good central performance from woody harrelson . but even with this great ensemble it doesn\u2019t elevate it above mediocre . on analysis it really feels too much like a movie version of \u2018the shield\u2019 ! ( b - ) \u202c\nthere is an acrid , pessimistic , despairing wit in rampart sometimes , especially when brown reveals his specious fluency in legal casework , easily coming up with a legal precedent that justifies the latest brutality \u2013 which he may or may not have made up . perhaps this nightmare can still end in some kind of deal for brown . but it is when he has to face the incomprehension and contempt of his children that the blank despair shows on harrelson ' s face . rampart is a gripping movie , and a great addition to the ellroy canon .\nmovie review - ' rampart ' - a dissolute centurion , on his last legs director oren moverman and woody harrelson ( the messenger ) team up again for a complex account of a corrupt los angeles cop and his a final desperate bid to cash in .

( i ' ll describe the real - life\na\nstory in a moment . ) according to the movie notes , when rampart division gets mired in the corruption scandal , officer brown becomes an easy scapegoat for murdering his daughter ' s rapist ( maybe he did , maybe he didn ' t ) , as corrupt cops try to shift the blame to innocent ones , or , in this case , a not - so - innocent one .\nrather than go into detail about users & apos ; varied inquiries \u2014 as is typically standard with the ama (\nask me anything\n) format open to anyone visiting the site \u2014 harrelson chose to supply non - detailed answers that almost always referred back to his new film .\nafter a february opening , the reviews are mixed . some people hate the movie , saying it makes no sense , has no point , and has nothing to do with the rampart scandal . others say it is a spectacular movie with some of the best acting they ' ve ever seen .\ndave\u2019s graver troubles ignite after he\u2019s caught on video beating a suspect nearly to death . the episode turns up the heat in an already simmering city . protesters start massing outside dave\u2019s station , rampart , and politicians and the district attorney\u2019s office ( whose numbers include an excellent sigourney weaver ) start circling .\nas part of the press junket for the upcoming rampart , harrelson participated in one of the social news site\u2019s popular \u201cask me anything\u201d ( ama ) threads . almost immediately , one user asked the former cheers star about a time he supposedly crashed a high school prom and slept with a female student :\nwho would have known that woody harrelson is going to become a dependable actor ? i mean , look back 15 years ago , who would have thought he would make these really interesting indie dramas . he ' s like the nick nolte of his generation or something . rampart is tailor made for his talents . his way of talking , his sexy gestures and his careless charm . this is a police drama but it ' s a character driven film . the character being that of a cop whose moral compass is just too unpredictable . woody embodies the lack of direction of his character and he is mesmerizing .\nhe reminds me of one of the most evil characters in american fiction , judge holden in cormac mccarthy ' s blood meridian , a man who likes to torture and kill for no other reason than simply to cause pain . the harrelson of\nrampart\ncould play judge holden , and not many actors could .\nhe shows up at depositions red - faced and sweating from the previous night ' s debauchery . his ex - wives and daughters grow immune to his charms . in the movie ' s red - lit , chaotic centerpiece , a long night of sex and drugs ends with a disgustingly gluttonous food binge \u2014 significant because there ' s constant comment early in the film that brown never seems to eat . this is a man breaking down in spectacular fashion , and moverman ' s hallucinatory use of color , paired with disorienting cuts in the sound and images , makes the film seem to be stylistically disintegrating along with him .\nafter a splashy preview last june , the los angeles police department ' s fleet of polaroid cameras has become a victim of its own success . the state - of - the - art cameras , originally bought to assist in domestic abuse cases , are so popular the lapd has run out of the costly color film .\nokay , so the movie has a great group of actors whose performances keep you riveted to your seat . but does the movie have any resemblance to what actually happened in the rampart division in the 1990s ? does it matter - - since it conveys the flavor , attitudes and violence of what happened if not the actual facts ?\nin fact , the city attorney ' s office is asking police to shoot more photos from crime scenes , contributing to the demand for film . besides a bruised cheek or choke marks on a victim ' s neck , prosecutors also want pictures of the hole punched through the wall , the shattered lamp or the ransacked bedroom .\nwith 375 , 000 units sold , but in terms of revenue , it was in second place with $ 7 . 50 million . its opening week blu -

known screenplays and film clips the lecture explores the various forms of the visual mindscape such as ; withholding , discovery , the law of contradiction , location as allegory , visual metaphor , the absolute present tense , narrative pacing , atmosphere , triggers and anchors , visual expressions for time , tense and flow of location .\nrampart could actually be described this way . the movie ' s scenes often feel like separate vignettes , overlapping with sound and texture . once they ' re all crammed together they display a rude , naked and uncompromising portrait of a very difficult man . rampart is opening in limited release after a failed oscar run and though it ' s basically a character study - - fans of challenging performance and ensemble acting will like it most - - it ' s the kind of movie they probably should ' ve sold like a pure cop thriller just to get asses in seats . it ' s not that it ' s without shootouts , it ' s just that woody harrelson is the gunpowder . b / b +\nharrelson plays dave brown , a uniformed policeman of 24 years ' standing , himself the son of a cop , and he ' s an emblematic figure in this culture of corruption , though precisely what he represents remains undefined . he ' s at the centre of every scene in the film , and we meet him driving his patrol car through rampart , physically trim , his head shaven , his uniform neatly pressed , a cigarette permanently dangling from his lip . he ' s apparently woody the barman working for the lapd , with the familiar high cheekbones , the roman nose , the mr punch - like jaw , the half - smile that might be vacant , searching , mocking or hinting at violence .\noren moverman is obviously someone to watch . i ' ve now bought both of his feature length movies and been impressed by both .\nrampart\n, his second film to feature both woody harrelson and ben foster is a controversial look at a lapd police officer whose about as dirty and corrupt as they come . woody harrelson in the last few years has gone through a bit of a renaissance with some impressive turns in everything from bit parts to headline star . little roles in the likes of\nno country for old men\nhave elevated his persona as a guy you can rely on . moverman has obviously got a lot of faith in what harrelson brings to his roles and with a script here\u2026\nthe ending : immigration issues resolved , young lovers anna ( felicity jones ) and jacob ( anton yelchin ) finally reunite . it ' s not exactly magical . they take a tentative shower together at jacob ' s l . a . loft while the film flashes back to more innocent times . the final shot of jacob indicates resignation but no resolution .\nan ever - evolving process is the way that harrelson describes the majority of his \u201crampart\u201d experience . the script was originally written by the self - proclaimed mad dog of american crime fiction james ellroy , but \u201csubstantially rewritten by oren . \u201d and that loose sense of play continued throughout the shoot . \u201cthat\u2019s just the nature of how we work together \u2013 there\u2019s a lot of play , a lot of spontaneity , a lot of improvisation , inside the structure . \u201d one of the more fascinating aspects of \u201crampart\u201d is that it suggests a much larger universe , with whole plot threads that could be spun off from the central narrative , but is mercifully free of such clutter . harrelson told us that originally there was much more .\nrampart doesn\u2019t end up having as much emotional punch to it as the messenger did mainly because it feels as though the idea was not thought out to completion . moverman and his co - writer , author james ellroy , set up an interesting scenario in which any number of things can happen , but it never really develops beyond everything going wrong in david\u2019s life .\nfirst choice or later decision :\nwe had an extra scene that was on top of that , kind of a double beat with anna and jacob in the loft space on opposite ends of the frame ,\nsays writer - director drake doremus .\nbut the shower scene ended up being so strong that we just ended the film right there .\nan award - winning , independent creative agency based in new orleans that thinks globally and acts locally . they build brands and companies alongside our clients , pushing creative boundary to turn ideas into reality . their tools are as varied as our clients . from graphic design to film , apps to animation , they use design to create opportunities and communicate with the world .\na quickmeme [ 2 ] page for\nscumbag woody harrelson\nwas created shortly after the ama thread was submitted . many of the image macros parodied harrelson ' s attempts to focus his answers on his new movie rampart and the allegations that he took a young girl ' s virginity after crashing a prom several years before . the page accumulated over 50 submissions in 3 days .\ni like the angle that this film takes in its approach to the crooked cop story , that of humanism and emotion . woody\u2019s character , david , is portrayed as a violent , self - absorbed , deeply flawed man , though in his interactions with the women he loves and his daughters , we also see him as a tragic , lonely figure . he is on the outside looking in , as the world slowly yet steadily passes him by . he is helpless to change , cursed by mistakes both past and present , and is doomed by his own hatred and resentment . it\u2019s a sad portrait of a broken man . and while i appreciate this multidimensional picture , for some reason it all just didn\u2019t add up for me . the film plays\u2026\nin 1999 , in los angeles , the brutal , racist and womanizer police officer david\ndave\ndouglas brown works at the rampart division . he lives with his dysfunctional family composed by the ex - wives catherine and barbara and his two daughters margaret and helen in the same house . dave frequently goes to single bars to have one night stand with lonely women . he was accused in the past of executing a rapist but was considered not - guilty . when his police car is crashed by a mexican driver , the man runs and dave brutally beats him but is filmed on video . now the rampart division is being prosecuted while the internal affairs is investigating dave . he spends his savings with the lawyers and needs to raise money . what will dave do ?"]}

man attacks larkin\u2019s bull , its eye is gouged out by the bull\u2019s horn , in oozing detail . this particular scene was actually cut from many television prints of this film .\nthe family also later recreates the final scene of the film during the couch gag .\nif history records this flying saucer landing , it may also record the visit of another saucer in the red springs area last fall . that one is reported to have hovered six feet above the ground before taking off at a couple of thousand miles an hour . evidently these saucer pilots are from the same place , and the first one to visit robeson county liked what he saw , describing this is a good place to land .\nit is doubtful that any large segment of the american press will go along with the suggestion of managing editor herbert hames of the ottawa , ill . , republican -

shaped craft . the behaviour of the aliens is very professional and businesslike and they are dressed in somewhat military style . they are not frightening per se . this is very much in keeping in tone with keyhoe\u2019s speculations that aliens were making a scientific study of the planet out of \u201cneutral curiosity\u2019 or as a prelude to a mass landing .

the fact that just about every movie of the time , no matter how serious - - no matter how grim , even - - somehow found itself saddled with characters that served no narrative purpose at all , but instead were included solely to bludgeon the audience with unfunny jokes ? what about all those beach party movies - - have you ever tried to watch one of those things ? i bring this up because if you took the comedic sensibility that produced pajama party and applied it to a monster movie , you\u2019d come up with something very much like invasion of the saucer men .\nfeaturing some of the most iconic movie characters put on film . beast wishes chronicles the story of how\nthe aim , say organisers , is to celebrate a genre \u201cthat has been responsible for some of the most dramatic and indelible moments in the history of cinema\u201d . these include a world poised between destruction and salvation at the end of the day the earth caught fire , a spaceship flying through space to the strains of the blue danube waltz in 2001 ; and the flickering images of the alien hunting down the last of the crew of the spaceship nostromo .\nfurther , now that she has seen one , the observer declares that this saucer , at least , was something never touched by the hand of man but a\nspiritual\nthing .\nthe object , whatever it was , meteor , fireball or flying saucer , appeared to be southwest of her west side home , about in the area occupied by carbide , she said .\nfuller , john g . , the interrupted journey : two lost hours aboard a flying saucer , dell , 1966 , pp . 45 . keyhoe , donald e . , the flying saucer conspiracy , fieldcrest , 1955 , pp . 63 - 64 , 204 - 5 .\ncoming out of the ground , a morlock from the 1960 movie the time machine .\npint - size aliens emerge from a saucer outside the town of hicksburg and start killing people using their hypodermic fingernails . the only witnesses are a group of teenagers hanging out at the nearby lover\u0092s lane but the authorities disbelieve the teens\u0092 story . the only hope is for the teenagers to band together to defeat the menace themselves .\nthe illusion of water on a desert is due to bending of light rays in a way that a portion of the sky appears below the horizon , giving an impression of a blue lake .\nwhen the warmer air is closest to the surface of the earth , the light rays are thrown upward . the greater the difference in density , the greater the bending .\nthe airport commission and the city council have approved a fee schedule for flying saucers wishing to use the boise airport . the landing fee has been fixed at $ 50 per saucer for non - scheduled flights and the fee must be paid in u . s . currency . interplanetary greenbacks will not be accepted . if the saucer radios in for a scheduled landing , all fees will be waived . if the saucer merely desires to hover over the field at an altitude of less than 100 feet , there will be a standard fee of $ 10 for the first three minutes of hovering and $ 10 for each additional minute .\nanother flying saucer has been reported here , this time by a west side hills woman who says she has been\nscanning the heavens\nnightly for weeks in the hope of seeing one .\nhorror film about sideshow performers . the chorus of\none of us , one of us\ncomes directly from that movie .\nan illinois editor has banned\nflying saucer\ntales from his newspaper . may he not suffer the misfortune to be struck down by one .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nand that is the crucial attraction of days of fear and wonder , say its organisers . each decade uses science fiction to create a future that mirrors the particular fears and obsessions of the day . sci - fi films may claim to be visions of coming events , but are really a record of the past obsessions of society . hence the importance of the festival .\nrump believes they might have been reflections on clouds from the midway ' s spotlights . midway officials said the lights were on about the time the rumps saw the objects in the sky . the play of the spotlights on clouds brought about 60\nflying saucer\ncalls in des moines county , they added .\nother sf illustrators also utilized the disc form long before 1947 . [ 5 ] but these are inevitable coincidences in a large body of artistic creativity . the saucer form was not the dominant shape of spaceships in the culture ; it was the rocket . in this larger sense jacobs is correct that one would expect an outbreak of ghost rockets over america if the images of sf were the determinant of what people should be imagining . they weren\u2019t .\nafter the crime wave / the obsession of billy botski show wednesday at the grange you will have one last chance to see mr . lobo host on stage before he and his wife dixie move to the tinsel plated east coast for gleaming pastures . be at the crest saturday 7pm for a double bill of men in suits and beast wishes !\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\ntoday ' s myths become tomorrow ' s realities . newspapers don ' t cook up flying saucer yarns ; they merely report them .\nshe estimated the time at between 9 and 9 : 30 o ' clock . the saucer was moving much faster than any airplane she had ever seen , she concluded .\nbecause the object was at great height , jones said he was unable to describe it except that it was saucer - shaped and silver colored , glistening in the sunshine .\nmaggie terrorizes milhouse behind the wheel of the evil 1971 lincoln continental mark iii from the car .\nwhen they arrive at johnny\u2019s car artie gets the proof he needs by seeing the disembodied alien hand that is now trapped in the car . when he tries to take a picture of it , the light of the flash causes the hand to disappear in a puff of smoke . the secret to defeat the aliens is now apparent : light kills them ! johnny rounds up all of his friends at lover\u2019s point and they lure the aliens there . when they are in position everyone turns on their car headlights , shining them at the aliens , killing them instantly . the invasion is thwarted , through no help of anyone in authority .\nthe title of the third vignette ,\nfreaks no geeks\nis a pun of the title of the tv series freaks and geeks . in addition , geek is the term for a sideshow performer of repulsive acts , such as biting the head off a live chicken .\npart - ii of this report is the translation of an article appearing in the 9 july 1952 issue of the german newspaper\nberlin volksblatt\n. this article describes the discovery of a\nsaucer - like\nobject on spitsbergen island by the norwegian air force . the object , according to the newspaper report , was a circular disk 48 . 88 meters in diameter , remotely controlled , and had instruments with russian symbols .\nwith an airdate of october 6 , 2013 ,\ntreehouse of horror xxiv\nis so far the treehouse of horror episode that has aired the earliest in the calendar year .\nmrs . alva earl smith told the story for the group , relating that the five were in a cotton field about 12 p . m . when a plane flew overhead . the three women and two men looked up as the plane passed and sighted another shiny object far in the east .\nin studying the 1893 editions of our four predecessors - - the mattoon journal , the mattoon gazette , the mattoon star , and the mattoon commercial - - we had a feeling of humbleness and pride . we saw the progress of both the community and the press and yet realized how little the individual really makes his mark in the annals of time .\nscientists and military experts have been trying for five years to bring\nflying saucer\nrumors down to earth , but it took a little 30 - inch man to do it , right here in the yard of a home on the outskirts of lumberton .\npictures of the music class refer to ( from left to right ) : starships poopers from\ntreehouse of horror ix\n, the island of dr . hibbert from\ntreehouse of horror xiii\n, the raven from\ntreehouse of horror\nand milhouse and the great pumpkin from\ntreehouse of horror xix\n.\nthe man standing next to him is stephen king , author of the shining .\na\nmore prosaic explanation\nprobably will be forthcoming on the nature of saucers , he said in an article in the catholic standard , weekly newspaper of the archdiocese of washington .\nthis sounds like the first flying saucer report for anderson . . . and it involves a bright blue object flying through the nocturnal heavens . . . none of the yellow or red saucers that reportedly grace the skies of other parts of the country . . . the reporter is dolph stephenson , a watchman at the barber manufacturing company . . . and he maintains he saw the object tearing across the sky the other night at quite a clip . . .\nthe illinois editor , moreover , is much more sure than are we that there is no such thing as a flying saucer . we don ' t know .\nan abductee in the 1954 movie killers from space has a strange scar and a missing memory of the alien encounter that caused it . the mysterious impregnation of women , including virgins , and the subsequent birth of intelligent hybrid children is the theme of the 1960 film village of the damned . brain implants are featured in the 1953 movie invaders from mars [ 15 ]\nthe growing list of those who have reported seeing flying saucers was augmented thursday night by the addition of four lima women .\npart of the mystery is solved by a careful reading of the interrupted journey \u201d it is on record that betty hill had read donald keyhoe\u2019s book the flying saucer conspiracy shortly before she be an having nightmares of abduction . keyhoe\u2019s book cites nearly a dozen occupant cases . most of them are outright rejected by keyhoe . these include such farces as zebra - striped spacemen , an elephant - faced entity , 6 - armed , 13 - ft tall entities , space - man monster tales and contactee hoaxes . keyhoe practically endorses , however , a pearl harbor report of a flyer who frightfully proclaimed \u201ci actually saw him\u201d \u2013 the saucer pilot . note the pronoun is him , not it . no doubt this would have impressed betty as similar to barney\u2019s experience of seeing the saucer\u2019s occupants . [ 23 ]\nhe has become an informal clearing house for saucer news and magazine reports from the four corners of the globe . it is a big mistake to believe that flying saucers have been seen only over this continent , arnold said .\nthe stories span the decades from the 1950s to the present day and explore the many contradictions and quirks that define the city\u2019s unique character . the cover of the book reflects these contradictions . it depicts the fa\u00e7ade of the city\u2019s once elegant astoria cinema which is currently the subject of controversial demolition plans . the derelict state of the building is offset by its glowing neon sign , a cheeky photobombing seagull and a bigger - than - life copy of banksy\u2019s iconic kissing coppers .\nthis takes us up to the saucer , but it doesn\u2019t give us much idea what should take place inside . neutral curiosity would probably lead to some sort of examination or questioning and this pretty much does happen . yet there is that terror of the needle in the navel and the business with the star map . nothing in keyhoe predisposes one to those sorts of things .\nmy favorite pic has to be the drinking buddies one with paul blaisdell ( in saucer - man costume ) and bob burns . love candid shots like that one \ud83d\ude42\nwe of the atomic age can ' t imagine what mattoon will be like in another 60 years , but the thought creates a sense of excitement in us . we seem to be on the verge of great new explorations in every , field of knowledge , particularly in the sciences . we of 1952 take the advancement of electrical and mechanical achievements for granted . we have seen new forces of warfare come into existence in the last 10 years that would have been beyond the comprehension of the people of 1893 . we talk of rockets and space - ships as they must have thought of the possibilities of electricity . we worry about\nflying saucers\nfrom other planets as they too must have been concerned with unknown phenomena of their time .\nkeyhoe also expresses a measure of acceptance of a series of ufo stories from venezuela involving hairy dwarfs . one of these serves as a closer starting point of betty hill\u2019s nightmares . two peasants first spot a bright light like a car on the nearby road . hovering a few feet from the ground is a round machine with a brilliant glow coming from the underside . \u201cfour little men\u201d come out and try to drag jesus gomez toward the object . there is a struggle and the evidence of that struggle gives it a special credibility in keyhoe\u2019s eyes . keyhoe next cites the experience of jesus paz who was found unconscious after being set upon by a hairy dwarf . he follows this with jose parra\u2019s sighting of six small hairy creatures by a saucer and their transfixing him with a bright light . [ 24 ]\nbonn . writing in the german magazine\nder flieger\n, dr . waldemar beck says that a flying saucer which recently fell at spitsbergen has been studied by eminent norwegian and german rocket experts . he writes that dr . norsal , a norwegian expert in rocket construction went to the place where the flying saucer had fallen a few hours after it had been discovered in the mountains of spitsbergen by norwegian jet planes .\nthe methods and customs of our predecessors have greatly changed , but not their ambitions . we inherited the ambitions , fulfilled part of them , and then hand what is left undone to other generations of the future . it is rather apt that a record of our achievements be preserved in the cornerstone of an institution dedicated to the task of educating those future generations .\na leading chicago psychiatrist believes it can be attributed to the temper of the times .\nin his sermon rabbi michels will emphasize the religious significance of the current phenomenon with special reference to the hebraic concepts of man and his relation to the universe . . .\nthe dead raven landing on the tire fire is a reference to planet of vampires .\nwhen the police arrive , johnny and joan are brought to the station under the suspicion of drinking and driving , since the air is full of the smell of alcohol thanks to the aliens . at the station , johnny and joan find out that joe had a roommate , artie . since the police will not believe their story of little green men they feel that reaching out to artie is their only chance . they escape the police station and meet with artie , who agrees to go with them out to johnny\u2019s car so that they can prove their innocence .\nwhether the saucer landing here becomes a historic event depends on future developments . unless the saucer had an unlimited fuel supply , presumably it has had to return by now to its original take - off point and its 30 inch pilot has reported seeing a giant on the earth . this might discourage future visits to this planet and keep the saucers from being seen or heard of from now on . if so , the\nflying saucer age\nwill be put off for awhile , at least until the\natomic energy age\ndevelops a little more , and if no more landings are made on earth the historians may decide not to record this event , for lack of substantiating evidence .\n, the film itself contains plenty of pleasures for both fans of cheesy , low - budget fare and soused cinema enthusiasts . of course , your enjoyment of the film may be improved by knocking a few back yourself .\nmight be remembered for many things , large and small . the election of dwight eisenhower as president of the united states . fifty thousand american families afflicted by polio . the british a - bomb . the first issue of\nthis paradox is especially bad news for abduction reports . by bullard\u2019s tally 82 % of craft descriptions fit the flying saucer stereotype . [ 7 ] this is far in excess of the approximately one - third portion saucers and discs make up in a more general population of ufo reports . [ 8 ] if imagination and cultural expectations play a larger role in abductions than in more reality - constrained misinterpretations of mundane stimuli , then this fact makes sense . the flying saucer mythos perfectly predisposes us to include flying saucers in our fantasies and nightmares about extraterrestrials .\nsince they now have a flat tire , johnny and joan must go to larkin\u2019s farmhouse to call the police . while they are doing this , joe gruen ( frank gorshin ) , who came to town that day with his drifter friend artie burns ( lyn osborn ) , who saw the saucer - men\u2019s spaceship land , finds the dead alien body under the car and immediately realizes that if he were to put this body on display , he and artie could make a lot of money . while trying to figure out how to get the body back to the boarding house where he is staying at , he is attacked by more saucer - men who saw their companion get killed . using their needle fingers , they inject joe with alcohol , which when mixed with the alcohol he had already been drinking , kills him . the smart aliens then replace the alien\u2019s body with joe\u2019s , making it look like johnny and joan hit him with their car instead .\nthis is the first treehouse of horror episode since\ntreehouse of horror ix\nto have a chalkboard gag .\ni am indebted to al lawson for calling attention to the fact that the needle - in - the - navel motif owes its origin to imagery appearing during the martian operating room episode . shortly after the operation begins , the camera cuts to a high - angle view of the surgical theatre . at least , that is what it is supposed to be . the image has an ambiguous character in terms of scale and content . you are supposed to interpret it as a view of the architecture of the interior of the saucer with the dominant structure being a tubular metal beam or conduit connecting ceiling to floor . it bears a stylistic similarity to the neck implanter in having a clear plastic sheath surrounding the upper half of its length .\nalbert glasser , described by tom servo as\nthe man who holds you down and pummels you with music ,\nwas one of hollywood ' s most prolific movie score composers . of the some 200 movies he scored , 11 were msted : 201 - rocketship x - m ( arrangement only ) ; 309 - the amazing colossal man ; 313 - earth vs . the spider ; 315 - teenage caveman ; 317 - viking women and the sea serpent ; 319 - war of the colossal beast ; 409 - the indestructible man ; 414 - tormented ; 517 - beginning of the end ; 602 - invasion usa ; and 611 - last of the wild horses . some other cheesy movies which he scored are : gordon ' s the cyclops and attack of the puppet people ; and the giant from the unknown .\nas he and starkey watched , the flat , saucer - shaped object hovered in one position for a considerable length of time . jones said the object\nwobbled about for awhile , then took off at terrific speed in a northeasterly direction .\nthe cultural source of the ufo lies in a journalistic error . kenneth arnold\u2019s report of mysterious supersonic objects flying near mount rainier was a sensation that made front - page news across the nation . the speed was far beyond that of the planes of the era and no one publicized the flight in advance . it was an exciting puzzle .\nthese fifties paranoia films were fantastic . if you can get over the fact the aliens are all large bug eyed rubber legged toys with men inside this is a film for you . i loved them as a kid and doubt that will ever change .\nin the case of a crash landing , it would be hard to improve on the first question ever asked a saucer pilot and that is whether he got hurt . but if a saucer lands safely around here any time soon , and a little 30 - inch man steps out , it may be hoped that somebody will ask him who ' s going to win the november election , before he takes off in a whiff .\nthe monster which picks bart with its tentacles is cthulhu from at the mountains of madness .\nthe unnamed beings which landed a flying saucer near the american city of hicksburg in the 1950s are a species of small ( approximately four feet tall ) green humanoids with disproportionally large heads and bulging eyes . they also have extra eyes on the backs of their hands , and their fingers are armed with retractable needle - like hollow claws which are used to inject victims with a concentrated dose of pure alcohol , enough to kill humans and cattle .\nthe editors of the paper will not select or omit the news that they as editors want the readers to read or not to read .\nthe ambiguity of the image , however , admits an alternative interpretation . the tubular metal beam and plastic sheath becomes a hypodermic needle . lighting of the floor suggests the curvature of an abdomen . the place where the floor and tube intersects is surrounded by a round indentation . it\u2019s the navel . in the brief snatch of time the image is seen , some people will miss the intended interpretation and see a huge hypodermic needle has been thrust into the woman\u2019s navel .\namsterdam , august 7 , 1952 - - dutch papers this morning are full of flying - saucer reports . telephones at the editorial offices and at the meteorological institute of de bilt are constantly ringing with new reports or with requests for information . conversations on street - cars and buses deal with little else .\nlayers of air can be of unequal density . warm air is less dense than cool air .\nthe pants that the fat in the hat pulls down are the scary green pants from the story what was i scared of ? from the sneetches and other stories by dr . seuss .\nreview : this science - fiction picture is intentionally funny . terrell and castillo are newlyweds who accidentally run over a martian . the vengeful little green men plot to get back at the lovers by turning them into alcoholics . this is accomplished by injections fr\u2026 ( more )\nexamination , as the peril , is the downer part of the story and would ruin a happy ending if sequenced late . even in deviant cases the examination is never put near the end . pragmatically , putting theophany before examination might instill trust in the abductee and make testing go better . dramaturgically , however , such an order would be stupid since it ruins the intensity of the peril and spoils the joy of the ending and the sense of closure .\nit has only been in the last 150 years that the phenomenon of mirages has been understood .\nrod serling , author and host of the tv series the twilight zone , smoking a cigarette .\ngreat review , like all the others so far , nightowl . i think\ninvasion of the saucer men\nis a film you ' ve had to have grown up with , whether that means having seen it when it first debuted at the cinema , or on a black - and - white tv that only received seven channels ( not counting uhf ) . my own anecdotal evidence comes from a number of younger - generation acquaintances who i ' ve tried to show this flick to , but were quickly bored or distracted . however , guys in my generation ( mid - 40 ' s ) all seem to have the same fond memory of the bull ( and that other unfortunate guy ) who get literally needled with the alien ' s hypodermic - like fingernails . that ' s still awesome . by the way , my wife got the movie poster matted and framed in glass for me a few years ago , and it now hangs over our bed alongside robby the robot . the bug - eyed aliens are a great way to start every day !"]}

knowing how ill joanna was , did you feel a sense of urgency when filming her story ?\n\u201cjoanna\u201d flips the equation , centering on a mother with only three months to live who\u2019s determined to maximize the time she has left with her young son and husband . in this case , director aneta kopacz didn\u2019t know her subject personally , but was touched by joanna salyga\u2019s blog , \u201cchustka , \u201d in which she shared her experiences with readers , a number of whom stepped up to sponsor the crowd - funded short . almost none of this information comes across in the film itself , which serves as an artsy portrait her son can use to remember her by in the future , shot in shallow focus ; cobbled together with jumpy , impressionistic cuts ; and composed of seemingly mundane moments between joanna and her family . \u201cjoanna\u201d is melancholy in the extreme , but reminds how much we take for granted , from seeing rainbows to teaching our kids to ride a bike .\nyou can catch joanna at docuday la , the ida ' s annual celebration of the feature and short documentary films nominated for oscar\u00ae . the film will screen at 3 : 35pm on saturday , febrary 21 at the writer ' s guild of america theater as part of shorts program ii with fellow nominee la parka ( the reaper ) .\nachievement in film editing american sniper joel cox and gary d . roach boyhood sandra adair the grand budapest hotel barney pilling the imitation game william goldenberg whiplash tom cross\nshot in a v\u00e9rit\u00e9 style over the course of just a few months , joanna remains primarily inside the rooms of the family\u2019s home and in the surrounding woods , where joanna seems to be insuring that many a sun - kissed memory is literally planted for her son and his future self . neither joanna nor her family ever directly addresses the camera , and we never linger on a sit - down interview between filmmaker and subject . instead life plays out in its small yet important moments , with stunning cinematography reminding us of the beauty found in life ' s everyday simplicity .\njoanna hogg is an artist and film - maker who entrances and enrages . after the first wave of praise from fans ( such as me ) , her movies tend to get a backlash of incredulity and scorn from those who would prefer the envelope unpushed and unmolested . in the runup to its release , this latest film has already provoked some giggles and putdowns online . some of the tweets i ' ve been getting have felt like seat - bangs from some derisive digital walkout . it only makes me love her more .\nin 40 short minutes , aneta kopacz ' s oscar\u00ae - nominated short documentary joanna invites us in , embraces us unconditionally , and reveals a brief portrait of a woman facing the realities of a terminal illness . the titular joanna , a woman slight of stature but substantial in wisdom , copes with the reality of her condition by sharing as much as she can with her brilliant son janek , a boy of roughly 8 years of age who asks questions as deep and important as any learned philosopher . she publishes her thoughts and succinct life lessons on her blog , where thousands of readers join her in the legacy of her final days . the times spent with her son are interspersed with tender moments between joanna and her adoring husband , whose patience and calming presence adds to the film\u2019s deep warmth .\nthe look of joanna is very impressionistic , which somewhat belies her straightforward writing style on her blog and the way she raises her child . what helped you decide on the final visual aesthetic for this project ?\nbest documentary short subject crisis hotline : veterans press 1 ellen goosenberg kent and dana perry joanna aneta kopacz our curse tomasz sliwinski and maciej slesicki the reaper ( la parka ) gabriel serra arguello white earth j . christian jensen\nhow was it working with joanna\u2019s son janek ? neither he nor the rest of the family ever seemed to notice the camera in the room . was it just you and cinematographer \u0142ucasz \u017cal with the family at all times ?\nwhere joanna seems hyper - sensitized to every moment that she has left , efrain jimenez garcia \u2014 the slaughterhouse worker profiled in gabriel serra\u2019s \u201cthe reaper\u201d \u2014 seems totally desensitized to life . according to an info card flashed at the end of the film , efrain has been killing 500 bulls a day , six days a week for the past 25 years . such a job must take it toll on someone , and sure enough , the man we see appears virtually numb to the world around him \u2014 though it might just be the way the film presents him , following efrain into the abattoir , staring unflinchingly at the cattle\u2019s faces as they are led into the pen and killed . characterized by its stark , high - impact imagery , yet far from objective in its portrayal , the film displays a photographer\u2019s eye , a sociologist\u2019s curiosity and a vegetarian\u2019s agenda .\nit was a long and hardworking road . for nearly the past two years i traveled the world at festivals and have promoted joanna . i was constantly on my way . my life partner , tomasz sredniawa , who is cowriter for the movie often travels with me , sometimes we take our little daughter . now she is also with us in los angeles . so the film is present in our life all the time . being honest , our whole life revolves around the film ; there is nothing else . i am really tired and i am missing such a relaxing and carefree time with my daughter . i am really looking forward to it after oscars . can ' t wait !\nwe reached out to director aneta kopacz via email to ask her how she came to the film ' s visual style , about crowdfunding in poland , and how she will spend her time after the oscars\u00ae are over .\nyour film is very lyrical , shot in a true v\u00e9rit\u00e9 style . i appreciate that you get such intimacy without ever interviewing your subjects , but just by allowing them to live their lives . do you always work this way ?\nexhibition is her third feature \u2014 her last , archipelago , was released in 2010 , to near - blanket critical acclaim \u2014 and it establishes her as our preeminent pryer into the affairs of the english haute - bourgeoisie . the film is set almost entirely in a modernist des - res in west london , where its married owners are reluctantly preparing to move out . ( tom hiddleston , who made his film debut in unrelated and starred in archipelago , has a fun cameo as their gloopy estate agent . )\ni went to the bookseller club , where a radio reportage about joanna was going to be presented . i knew she would be a special guest there . during the reportage emission , when her son ' s voice appeared , joanna couldn ' t control her emotions and left . after a while , i went for her . barely visible , she was standing with her back to me in a dark , empty room . a thought came to my mind that she is very petite . i walked over to her and introduced myself . for a moment we just looked at each other in silence and tears came to our eyes . i felt the incredible mutual intimacy then , like we knew each other forever . i told her that i wanted to make a film about her . she looked at me and said ,\nno , that would interfere with my privacy .\nthen i learned that she had film proposals from well - known film directors and she refused to all of them . i asked her for just a minute to express how i would like to keep her story in the image . i said that if after this one minute she would say\nno\n, i will never bother her any more . she actually never said\nyes\n, but after this one minute , she didn ' t say\nno\n. so two days later , we had the first shooting day .\nthe english director joanna hogg has a knack for making us squirm . her new film , \u2018exhibition\u2019 , is an experimental at - home - with drama about two london artists , d ( viv albertine ) and h ( liam gillick ) who have lived together in a modernist house for 18 years . now \u2013 for reasons unclear \u2013 they\u2019re about to move . in some ways this is a departure from hogg\u2019s previous films , \u2018unrelated\u2019 and \u2018archipelago\u2019 , both of which were portraits of unhappy , posh families on holiday . it\u2019s urban . it\u2019s less talky . it offers a hint of the surreal . it even has a whisper of horror about it .\nwith acute sensitivity , brit writer - helmer joanna hogg\u2019s third feature , \u201cexhibition , \u201d explores the difficulty of telling inside from outside , intimacy from estrangement , and revelation from concealment . it seems entirely appropriate , then , that the whole thing teeters between very boring and completely fascinating , like being stuck on a plane in business - class seats next to a bickering couple [ \u2026 ]\nmostly you need to apply to polish film institute for money for your project . if you are accepted , then you start ; if not , you need to find another way , which is not easy . polish public tv produces documentaries as well , so this is also an option . i didn ' t have time to apply my project and wait for the decision . i had to start immediately . so i went to wajda studio , that i had known before as i graduated from wajda school . they gave me a small amount of money for the start . during the whole time of making joanna i was constantly looking for more funding . i found the co - producer , [ then a ] sponsor , and at the end i used crowdfunding . joanna was pretty popular among internet users , due to her blog . people wanted a movie about her very much . so as soon as they found out about the initiative of collecting money , we didn ' t have to persuade them to help . the needed amount of money we collected in just three weeks , even though the expected time was two months .\n( u . k . ) an artificial eye release of a bfi , bbc presentation in association with rooks nest entertainment of a wild horses film co . production .

recording mixer , ajder ; assistant director , paolo guglielmotti ; casting , olivia scott - webb .\ni was recently a new mom , so i was staying at home taking care of my little daughter . one day i came across an article about joanna on the internet , from which i learned she was leading a blog . it was the only blog on the internet i ever read . it completely consumed me . i was absolutely delighted with the way she described her daily life . she reached the point , in one remarkable , slightly ironic sentence , where she could capture everything . i was fascinated . i decided to make a movie about joanna because she was unusual , beautiful , intelligent and wise , with an interesting point of view . because she loved life and she could touch it , derive from the ordinary everyday life and relationships with other people . for me there is nothing more precious . i am very much interested in such people and such films .\nthanks to her blog , for many people joanna has become an icon of a thoughtful and joyful life . the blog describes her daily life honestly and accurately : her goals are as simple as a family trip to the polish lake district ; her planning as short - term as witnessing her son ' s first successful bike ride without training wheels . she starts the blog when she finds out she has cancer and is given three months to live . then she promises her 5 - year - old son , jas , that she will do her best to survive for as long as possible . and she starts writing for him . the documentary shows the everyday existence of joanna , her husband piotr , and little jas . it is as discreet as it is moving . through few well - chosen words and observations it manages to be both essential and sensuous . a story of thoughtfulness in death , life and love .\ntruly one of the best documentaries i ' ve seen . ultimate ending . i have no idea how can you make such a sad film with an optimistic feeling . . . scenes are cut short , to never fully let you soak in the depth of her condition until the end , and even then the future has been created already with her presence via the messages . i guess everyone is aware of the cancer , what it does physically and mentally , in this film , we can also see what it does to the family , the son and the ultimate aftermath . your own problems will not seem the same once you will watch this . prepare yourself for some crying , even you think you are a tough cookie . life and a movie has never been this close , or this real . masterpiece , worth an oscar .\nthe selection of two polish docus , both about people coping with fatal conditions , comes as pure coincidence , but a compelling one given the country\u2019s frontrunner status in the foreign language race with \u201cida . \u201d made in film school , tomasz sliwinski\u2019s autobiographical \u201cour curse\u201d depicts how the helmer and his wife magda struggle to raise their newborn son , leo , who has been diagnosed with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome , or ondine\u2019s curse , an extremely rare disorder in which the body ceases to regulate breathing during sleep and therefore requires the support of an elaborate machine . there aren\u2019t many sounds more heartbreaking than a child\u2019s cries distorted through the tracheotomy incision in his throat , and one can only begin to imagine what the parents must be going through \u2014 which is precisely what sliwinski aims to capture , turning the camera on himself and magda , in what proves to be an uncomfortably personal film .\nthere is something disturbing in the way these feelings and alienated emotions have been displaced outwards . the house could be their prison , or their refuge , or their private exhibition space for emotional pain . as for d ' s mental state , is she losing it \u2013 or gaining it ? it could be that , in her impossibly rarefied way , this contorted figure is absorbing the unspoken distress and is evolving into a butterfly of creativity . exhibition is challenging , sensual , brilliant film - making .\nwith acute sensitivity , brit writer - helmer joanna hogg \u2019s third feature , \u201c exhibition , \u201d explores the difficulty of telling inside from outside , intimacy from estrangement , and revelation from concealment . it seems entirely appropriate , then , that the whole thing teeters between very boring and completely fascinating , like being stuck on a plane in business - class seats next to a bickering couple you can\u2019t stop eavesdropping on . formally more ambitious but even more spare , brooding and oblique than her uncompromisingly rarefied previous pics , \u201cunrelated\u201d and \u201carchipelago , \u201d \u201c exhibition \u201d could divide hogg\u2019s small but loyal pool of fans .\ngiven how deeply embedded hogg\u2019s previous films felt in a particular kind of english , well - bred , urban - sophisticate world , it almost comes as a shock to realize this is her first film to be set in london itself . it was so palpably obvious \u2014 to british ears , based on accent alone \u2014 that blighty\u2019s capital was where those characters from \u201cunrelated\u201d and \u201carchipelago\u201d lived most of the time , even if the films themselves were set in vacation homes in , respectively , tuscany and tresco , one of the isles of scilly .\nanother big difference between \u2018exhibition\u2019 and hogg\u2019s earlier films is that here she\u2019s more comfortable exploring the gaps between conversations and interactions . talk recedes , and instead we\u2019re asked to concentrate on other noises \u2013 the roadworks outside or the internal sliding doors opening and shutting . for a lot of the film , we\u2019re observing these characters , alone or together , not necessarily engaging . it\u2019s a compelling study of a relationship , but one that demands patience . it\u2019s curious and mysterious , as if we don\u2019t have enough information to make a judgement call on them .\nit\u2019s a bit of a shame , then , that viewers aren\u2019t allowed a bit more emotional access due to the pic\u2019s fundamental lack of drama . some will feel there\u2019s just too much time spent watching these characters do hardly anything at all , and at times we can\u2019t even see them directly , just their reflections in windows , precisely aligned and framed by ed rutherford\u2019s painstaking lensing . all in all , it\u2019s an exquisite , chilly film about an exquisite , chilly couple with a very acute set of first world problems , like a richard curtis movie filmed by andrei tarkovsky , without the one - liners .\njudged on artistic merits alone , \u201cwhite earth\u201d would be the category\u2019s winner , but it has stiff competition in ellen goosenberg kent\u2019s \u201ccrisis hotline : veterans press 1 , \u201d which grips us from the get - go with its opening statistic \u2014 \u201camerica\u2019s veterans are killing themselves at a rate of 22 a day , nearly one every hour\u201d \u2014 and never lets go . like a white - knuckle tv procedural , the docu takes us behind the scenes of the veterans crisis line center in canandaigua , n . y . , where trained pros team up to talk post - traumatic stress cases off the ledge . on the other end , troubled vets sit with loaded guns in hand or razor blades within reach , having taken the trouble to call the number before taking drastic action \u2014 or , in one case , while waiting for the pills to take effect ( a chilling real - world version of the scenario dramatized in live - action short nom \u201cthe phone call\u201d with a far different outcome ) . clearly , something must be done to help vets cope with their experience , an idea the film addresses obliquely , emphasizing the call center\u2019s day - to - day struggle to keep these survivors alive . for patriots and anti - war objectors alike , the film demonstrates the consequences of military service and brings the abstract idea of war back home in a powerful way , recognizing those who protect the men and women who fought to protect us .\nit\u2019s annoying , especially to women viewers , that every time a female actor over the age of 40 takes her clothes off in a film she\u2019s called brave , but albertine\u2019s willingness to expose herself here , physically and emotionally , is nevertheless impressive , especially since she\u2019s not a professional thesp . a scene in which d masturbates in bed beside a sleeping h is astonishing , simultaneously quietly erotic , stridently sad and brutally honest about femme sexuality , exactly the opposite of pornographic convention . albertine deserves kudos , as does gillick and above all hogg , whose skill at coaxing spontaneous performances from semi - improvised dialogue has never been better showcased than it is here . audiences will never be in doubt that she and her cast members know these people from the inside out .\nd and h aren\u2019t on vacation , but it might look that way to anyone who\u2019s not a self - employed creative type who works from home . she\u2019s a performance artist , and he also does something in the arts \u2014 maybe architecture \u2014 although , like so much here , it\u2019s not explained what exactly . they spend most of their time and the movie padding from their individual home offices to the bedroom to the living room of their lushly glazed modernist house ( designed by architect james melvin , to whom the film is dedicated ) , somewhere in the borough of uber - wealthy kensington and chelsea , and they . once in a while , he calls her on the phone\u2019s intercom system , indirectly proposing a bout of sex to break up the day . mostly , she declines .\nexhibition is a superbly glacial and composed experiment in fictional cine - portraiture ; a refrigerated study in domesticity and sophistication , mysterious and preposterous \u2013 a movie that might claim its lineage from rachel whiteread ' s cast sculpture house , or david hockney ' s painting mr and mrs clark and percy . hogg uses her characteristic long takes from fixed camera positions ; she uses available light , and a kind of middle - distance sound design ; it ' s a film - making technique that makes you expect people on screen to start speaking not english but austrian - accented german . this is a movie quite uninterested in the structural conventions of narrative , though there is a story \u2013 of a sort . it is also uninterested in the conventional tonal imperative of irony , though there is comedy , and tragedy \u2013 of a sort .\nmeanwhile , in the snowy north dakota depicted in \u201cwhite earth , \u201d director j . christian jensen chronicles the influx of opportunity seekers to a quiet oil - drilling town , ignoring the laborers in favor of their families . terrence malick would love the kid jensen finds wiling away his days in a crowded trailer park \u2014 a still - innocent witness to this grim , impermanent living arrangement , where oil - field workers have extended their rvs via makeshift plywood walls , suggesting a ramshackle 21st - century version of the california gold rush . it\u2019s obvious why the men have come , so the film wisely privileges their kids , who sometimes go weeks without seeing their parents , describing the pungent gas smell that permeates their clothes when they come home . this year , all five noms are chasing some ineffable sense of poetry , but only jensen achieves it with this stanford master\u2019s thesis project , collecting and arranging details in a way that makes it feel as if we\u2019re experiencing the scene in person , fending off the cold and chasing the dream .\nthe leads are non - professionals . the former lead singer of the slits , viv albertine , and the turner - nominated artist liam gillick play a childless couple , identified as d and h , both contemporary artists and evidently of considerable private means , able to follow their vocations without worrying about money . they live in a handsome modernist house in london , with huge rectilinear spaces and its own eccentric lift . it was once home to its real - life architect , the late james melvin , to whom the film is dedicated . there is some tension between them : h is considerably more successful than d , whose performance art has not yet found acclaim . they have tense conversations about her work ; their sex life is stalled and , in fact , the whole house seems to exist in a miasma of thwarted , introverted eroticism . when on her own , d does a great deal of masturbatory squirming and fantasising ; she dictates her dreams into a machine on waking and often falls asleep hunched against walls or on window sills , like a cat . her behaviour becomes progressively more disturbed and we are gradually introduced to her inner life ; the scenes hogg conjures have a mesmeric , hallucinatory quality .\nthought the entire category is must -

get lucky ( official audio ) ft . pharrell williams , nile rodgers\nwe were kind of similar to each other : [ of ] the same age , with a similar sense of humor , similar way of perceiving the world , loving life in the simplest things of its manifestations , tasting life with great sensibility . it certainly helped to get closer to each other and gain confidence , which then translated into a movie .\ni try to work in this way . i prefer to find out about people from their behavior and relationships and build the story on that . there is nothing more interesting than to be able to get into somebody ' s life , stay there for a while and have a chance to watch their daily life . i need to have the honest picture that later on the audience could believe ; would really feel and would be emotionally connected . i am really fascinated in that kind of movie . i am fascinated by the human being . their emotions , relationships , weaknesses , strengths , temptations they cannot resist , masks they put on , hidden and revealed aspects of their conscious and subconscious . i love to absorb , to watch and to see , to listen and to hear .\nthere were three of us : the cinematographer , the sound man and me . when the scenes were very intimate , only \u0142ucasz was with the family .\nthe crew had to be invisible as much as possible . therefore we were often shooting while hiding behind the trees , behind the house . we shot through a window , a mirror , a reflection . we used long lenses to reduce the distance and achieve the feeling of closeness and intimacy . we did not want to destroy the intimacy and privacy of the family in the time spent together . we had to behave with extraordinary sensitivity and discretion .\nday after day we all became more and more friends , and my protagonists familiarized themselves with the crew and the camera so that they behaved normally . but of course , at the beginning of shooting janek was constantly looking in to the camera . every time i asked -\njanek , please take care of what you do and do not look in to the camera\n- he looked even more . so one day i ran into a simple but such a brilliant idea ! i asked him to keep looking directly into the camera . so he stopped .\ni knew it from the very beginning . i just felt it like that . while reading a blog i imagined the movie to be exactly impressionistic . the only difficulty was to find the right cinematographer and explain my vision to him . it wasn ' t easy to find the one who really felt what i was talking about . fortunately \u0142ucasz \u017cal understood what the movie is about and how i [ wanted ] it to look . we were talking for hours about the visual aesthetic . and finally i had no doubt , and during the the whole process of shooting i was comforted in the belief that \u0142ucasz was the perfect choice . i was so lucky .\nour next project will be the feature - length documentary , also very intimate and emotional . we are also in the process of writing a feature fiction screenplay based on a true story .\nkatharine relth is the digital communications manager for the ida . she has interviewed dozens of documentary filmmakers and written extensively about contemporary documentary and independent filmmaking for documentary . org , documentary magazine , indiewire and urltoken\nthe strange fact is that d and h want to move out of this extraordinary house , in which they have spent most of their adult lives , and on which they have lavished such care . they have presumably already found somewhere new ; where they are moving is never mentioned , and neither is the asking price of the current place . tom hiddleston has a cameo as a sleek , courtier - like estate agent . why are they moving ? because , as artists , they feel in some sense that they have outgrown the house and need to develop further , in a new context ? or is it because something terrible has happened to them there , something they can never mention ? this could be at the root of their dysfunction , somehow fused with the eerily calm house itself ; something that can only be expressed or reclaimed by being tacitly transformed \u2013 into art .\nit is an enigma manipulated and maintained with mastery . hogg ' s approach is something that might be called asatirical : the anxieties of the bohemian classes are held up for stringent inspection , but not ridicule . d and h are a world away from , say , alan bennett ' s stringalongs , and they are also subtly different from daniel auteuil and juliette binoche as the troubled couple in michael haneke ' s 2005 drama hidden , who like d and h live high - status lives almost barricaded inside a gorgeous modern home in the middle of a capital city .\nd and h ' s comfortable existence is not there to be tortured and lacerated , although at one point there is a very hanekerian confrontation with a man who has had the bad taste to park in h ' s private slot . this clash is not the point . these are tremors and after - shocks to something that has already happened .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nviv albertine , liam gillick , tom hiddleston , harry kershaw , mary roscoe , christopher mcwatters .\nthe two protagonists of \u201cexhibition\u201d are known only by their initials , d ( musician viv albertine , guitarist for femme punk band the slits ) and h ( conceptual artist liam gillick , a contemporary of the now - not - so - young british artists who came to prominence in the 1990s ) . they could easily be friends , relatives or , at the very least , neighbors of the characters in hogg\u2019s other films . indeed , d and h\u2019s unnamed neighbor ( mary roscoe ) , a barrister\u2019s wife who\u2019s in a permanent fret about her children , could be virtually the same character roscoe played in \u201cunrelated . \u201d\nwith its crisp right angles and clanging spiral staircase , its complex system of sliding doors and whispering garden of wind - ruffled foliage , the house is a third protagonist in the story , the pampered and adored child substitute for d and h . for reasons also never explained , they have decided to sell up and move out after 18 years ( perhaps the house is going off to college ) . in negotiations with the real - estate agents ( one of whom is played by tom hiddleston , who made his bigscreen debut in \u201cunrelated\u201d ) , d and h try to ensure that no one buys the house planning to tear it down or even change it .\nclearly , the thought of moving has disturbed the couple\u2019s equilibrium , and a great weight of resentment and ennui is discernible beneath their testy verbal exchanges . d is possibly the one who\u2019s more attached to their home ; the striped shirts she frequently wears echo the horizontal lines of the venetian blinds . she\u2019s imprisoned herself there , and seems frightened of going out for an evening stroll with h , who comes and goes more easily . the house is her stage , and she literally makes an exhibition of herself , like one of those lingerie - clad prostitutes who sit in cozy amsterdam windows , as she plays erotically with her semi - naked body ; at one point she wraps herself in fluorescent tape in front of her office\u2019s open window . there\u2019s no dire consequence to this , as there might be in a more melodramatically minded movie , but the superbly crafted soundtrack of source noises makes it clear that the outside world \u2014 of passing pedestrians and cars and , at one point , a screaming ambulance \u2014 is just beyond the glass .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nhogg\u2019s films are so fearlessly intelligent , and are built with such steel -

camera , as if the film is mimicking the character\u2019s stunned state of denial . it is a profoundly disturbing , quasi - inexplicable crisis that cracks the carapace of bourgeois calm and reveals seething , brutal emotions underneath . it is a meteor that lands arbitrarily on an existing situation from without , but it is also a convulsion from within , a trauma that was waiting to happen . farhadi is a gimlet -

communism and the weakness of the european policy of appeasement were cause for enormous anxiety . stalin\u2019s increasing paranoia and the search for traitors resulted in the great terror of 1937 . socialist realism had become enshrined as the appropriate working method and style and was intended to produce \u201cimages that are made with the purpose of helping along a desirable reality\u201d ( 1 ) , having put an end to the artistic experimentation of the early years . highlighting the direct connections between medieval times and the present , the film provided dramatic commentary about contemporary conditions and how to correct them .\nabandoned stuff to a new location , came into the apartment thinking that rana was his clandestine lover , swears he never entered the bathroom , yet can\u2019t explain how he cut his foot . under duress from emad ' s constant , harsh interrogation , he ambiguously yet sincerely begs for the angry man ' s forgiveness only to find himself locked in when emad rushes off for the impending performance of death of a salesman . right after the end of the play\ndid the people involved even watch this blaring pos before they shipped it ? i feel horrible for the audio and photography pro\u2019s on this , and the heroine , her father and the aunt because frankly their acting was very well done ( especially the aunt ! ) , because the rest of the elements in this hack of a film are not worthy if their efforts .\nbut the iran of his youth is changing . despite years of economic sanctions , some of which were lifted after the nuclear agreement struck between tehran and washington in 2015 , farhadi said the country is feeling the ripple of globalization and the reach of capitalism . he compared it to the upheaval that buffeted willy loman , the tragic protagonist in\ndeath of a salesman .\nit is another manifestation of the struggle between modernity and tradition in a society that has produced great poets and architecture along with terrorism and persistent intrigue .\nthe salesman is a film about personal tragedy , but it is also a film about the role of machismo in iranian society . it questions whether emad\u2019s vigilantism is truly justice or merely self - indulgent revenge . though emad claims to be doing everything he does for the sake of his wife , she repeatedly begs him to stop and instead stay with her and help her through the feelings of instability and vulnerability that she feels as a result of the attack . so is this quest of his really protecting her interests ? or is it his own feelings of vulnerability that he\u2019s trying to sate by finding the culprit ? is it his own feelings of helplessness , born out of an inability to protect his wife , that drive his actions ? what does it truly mean to be a strong man and a good husband ? these themes are mirrored in the namesake play that emad and rana are acting in throughout the course of the movie , arthur miller\u2019s death of a salesman . emad plays conflicted blowhard , willy loman , a man who struggles with concepts of strength , \u201cwinning , \u201d and how to properly head his family . rana plays willy\u2019s always supportive but often disappointed wife , linda . those roles are mirrored and complicated in the relationship between emad and rana , and though at the beginning of the film , emad is a mild - mannered schoolteacher who seems to have nothing in common with willy loman , by the end the parallels become uncomfortably clear .\nwith willem dafoe . \u201cbigelow\u2019s first feature immediately reveals her canny talent for simultaneously fulfilling and deconstructing popular film genres . set in the 1950s and starring a young , pomaded willem dafoe in his screen debut as the charismatic leader of a leather - clad and immoral bike gang , the loveless deliberately uproots the genre\u2019s traditional embrace of youthful rebellion by introducing a notably noir shading and sharp feminist perspective into its story of generational and gender conflict . bigelow\u2019s training in painting and experimental cinema informs the film\u2019s ( relatively ) slow pace , meticulous framing , and sparse , deliberately iconic dialogue \u2013 not to mention the evocation of kenneth anger\u2019s scorpio rising in the camera\u2019s close attention to the bikers\u2019 gleaming chrome and leather . \u201d \u2013harvard film archive\nfarhadi ' s new movie ,\nthe salesman ,\nslips into the lives of emad and rana , husband and wife actors whose notions of each other are redrawn after a stranger enters their tehran apartment and attacks rana in the shower . the sacred has been spoiled . rana grows withdrawn , emad plots vengeance , and their sense of home \u2014 that delicately constructed illusion \u2014 turns from refuge to menace .\nreally enjoyed this film . realitically done . terrific photography of ireland . well acted . good digital effects . quality product . i\u2019d like to see more .\nparked , which is byrne ' s feature film debut , stars hell on wheels actor colm meaney as an unemployed man who returns home to ireland but has nowhere to live but his car . when a dope - smoking 21 - year - old , played by merlin \u2019s colin morgan , parks beside him , the two develop an odd friendship . sweden\u2019s the yellow affair is handling world sales for the film .\nthe movie\u2019s grandiloquent and drawn - out final sequence , which ultimately discloses a thumpingly obvious parallel with miller\u2019s play , is for me its weakest moment . actually , this might be the aspect that nailed down the oscar . here is where the movie becomes a little strident , and self - consciously tragic in that milleresque sense . the salesman shows farhadi\u2019s ideas are in danger of becoming mannerisms , though it is a potent , disquieting piece of work .\nstill , from the first epic shot of ireland\u2019s coast to the final romantic image , it\u2019s clear that real love and attention was put into dawn of the dragonslayer . there\u2019s a film here bigger than its budget , and i hope it finds an audience .\nwhy do i get all these sad movies ! this one is set in a small quebec town ( ahuntsic kept coming to mind ) where the economy is going down the tubest due to the closing of the major employer . it ' s all seen through the eyes of a 67 year old car salesman . he is quite likable and soft - spoken . sad things happen and you wonder what the hell is worth living for . one kleenex . ps if you like moose , don ' t watch the beginning scene . it repeats near the end as well .\nscreenplay by john sayles . with burt reynolds and casey siemaszko . the second american film by scottish director bill forsyth ( gregory\u2019s girl , local hero ) portrays the relationship that ensues when professional thief burt reynolds and the younger , inexperienced casey siemaszko break into the same house . reynolds decides to take the amateur crook under his wing , and the result is a charming , unexpectedly affecting comedy . \u201ca subtle , masterly film , a series of life lessons which never ducks the moral ironies , no less precious for their simplicity . \u201d \u2013time out john sayles in person following the screening on friday , february 24 !\n( holunderbl\u00fcte ) a journey into the land of childhood , to that magical place where past , present , and the future meet \u2013 where everything is still possible , still thinkable , and where longings and expectations are still part of one\u2019s experience . the film deals with the lives of children in and around kaliningrad , the russian enclave that belonged to east prussia before the second world war .\nthe first american film by the great raul ruiz ( who passed away in august 2011 ) features appearances by a host of ny underground luminaries , including jim jarmusch , kathy acker , annie sprinkle , and several of the wooster group\u2019s actors : kate valk , michael kirby , michael stumm , and anna k\u00f6hler . \u201cstars michael kirby as a creepy , logorrheic derelict and compulsive slasher \u2013 modeled according to ruiz on kojak \u2013 who leaves a trail of unquiet corpses around lower manhattan as he leads a young village voice rock critic on a quest for god , or maybe a mexican soap opera star . \u2026 in addition to [ its ] impossible camera angles and loop -

1980s era of the federal republic , in which both men featured as prominent representatives of diametrically opposed ideologies .\nnow i don\u2019t know who is responsible for the rough continuity , the drwn out shots and video editing , or the story staying in period and characters in context . but aside from competent visuals and camera work , this film totally belongs in the mystery science theatre collection as taken as a work in whole , it is laughably horrible .\nan iranian movie is being screened in london on the same night as the oscars , following the news its director has boycotted the ceremony due to his theoretical ban from the us by donald trump .\nmy feeling was this was a film that would only be seen in iran . my friends were , like , ' isn ' t it a shame . ' i remember we didn ' t even budget for subtitles because we thought this isn ' t a film that ' s going to make it abroad . but it turned out to be the opposite , and i came to realize the people the world over resemble each other far more than they differ from one another .\nfarhadi ' s characters are less concerned with the world ' s political questions than dwelling in a realism driven by foibles and transgressions and marked by forgiveness and repudiation . they are small lives cast against big , often self - inflicted dramas that test love , friendship and force them to stand flawed and unadorned before one another , much like the cracks in willy loman ' s veneer . the attacker in\nthe salesman ,\nfor example , ends up with both our sympathy and our condemnation .\nwith eric mitchell , patti astor , and deborah harry . \u201ca year later i made the foreigner , a film about a european coming to ny . in this case max menace ( eric mitchell ) , a german terrorist who is trying to find a place to hide . but you can\u2019t hide in jungleland ! he is terrorized , and ripped to bits . this is the story of the other side of the american dream ; the foreigner who doesn\u2019t make it . a nightmare film in an existential philosophical context , a world where less is more . \u201d \u2013a . p .\ncompletely agree with your review of this movie and enjoyed this film . just wanted to mention one thing about this movie . it has some truly remarkable similarities to the man from snowy river , at least in the story line so if you found this good might want to check out the other , lol .\ninstead of involving the police , emad , perhaps affected by his role in the play , wants to take matters into his own hands , finding the man and shaming him . the consequences are painful \u2014 and , in a reversal of identities , perhaps it is not emad who is most like poor willy after all . the salesman ( for which farhadi also won best screenplay ) profits from the strict decorums of iranian cinema , and indeed of iranian life , to mount serious reflections on guilt and shame , trust and forgiveness . although compelling , it is not quite his best work .\nlike other examples of socialist realism , alexander nevsky sets up the clearly unacceptable but earnestly expressed policy of appeasement , as well as the \u201creality\u201d of german superiority , early on so that it can dramatically expose this proposition to be false throughout the rest of the film . after the sacking of pskov , the townsfolk of novgorod meet in the town square to hear a wounded knight\u2019s story of the german attack . his passionate appeal to defend the sacred soil of russia is ridiculed by the city\u2019s lords who argue for appeasement and surrender ( it becomes clear later that they are the traitors who have aided the german attacks ) . but colourful and reasoned oratory from peasants and seasoned warriors offer the correct solution . they demand that alexander nevsky be summoned to lead them into battle against the invaders . resonant political themes of the 1930s were clearly pronounced and connected effortlessly with such folkloric elements as the essential unity of the peasants with the land and its protection , and the need for a strong leader to deliver the people from their fear and immanent destruction and courageously face the enemy who dares to invade russia .\n( \u00fcberleben in new york ) print courtesy of the reserve film and video collection , the new york public library for the performing arts . the successes , trials , and tribulations of three young german women trying to conquer the new york city jungle . claudia , uli , and anna have very different backgrounds and deal with big -

class mother growing in political consciousness through participation in revolutionary activity , this film established pudovkin as one of the major figures of the soviet cinema . a student of kuleshov and an admirer of griffith\u2019s films , he was writing his first book of film theory at the same time he was making mother . his expert cutting on movement and his associated editing of unrelated scenes to form what he called a \u201cplastic synthesis\u201d are amply demonstrated here . although in direct opposition to eisenstein\u2019s shock montage , pudovkin used a linkage method advanced far beyond kuleshov\u2019s theories .\nfarhadi ' s best films are layered collisions of conscience and consequence .\na separation\nis a morality tale in a struggle over past and present ;\nabout elly\n( 2009 ) explores the dangers of deception and the constraints of tradition ;\nthe past\n( 2013 ) shows how elusive truth is against jealousy , resentment and conflicting agendas . in each , as in\nthe salesman ,\nhis characters are universal but also portraits of a young iranian generation steeped in cosmopolitanism while navigating the confines of an ancient culture and a rigid islam that adheres to blood money and arranged marriages .\nscreenplay by john sayles . with robert forster . \u201ca very funny meditation on the old \u2018what happens when you flush the goldfish down the john ? \u2019 nightmare . it is also a formula film that simultaneously demonstrates the specific requirements of the formula while sending them up with good humor . lewis teague , the director , and john sayles , who wrote the screenplay , know exactly what they\u2019re doing . \u2026 though alligator is done straight , not as parody , it never for a minute loses its sense of humor . \u201d \u2013vincent canby , new york times\nouttakes with fiore [ 2 ] ( this is fiore ' s new review site , beginning in feb . 2016 ; we still don ' t agree much but i respect his opinions about film if not always about politics )\nan advertising film promoting safe and comfortable meat consumption : \u201cnutritious wholesome food will keep our nation strong [ . . . ] meat is a favourite with almost everyone \u2013 everywhere . \u201d guest : sch\u00e4fer christian winz ( landgut krosigk )\nrehearsals will soon enough occur , this film progresses through a very specific set of circumstances about human tragedy , opening itself up for speculations , interpretations , contemplations by offering us no easy answers for the characters ' motivations or even full clarifications of plot events . while it\u2019s clear that something happened that fateful night between rana and the man\nhe said censorship remains an issue \u2014 it ' s referred to in\nthe salesman\n\u2014 but\nday by day it ' s growing more open .\nothers may disagree , but farhadi is a man who does not want to complicate his career with an errant comment to a journalist . after discussing censors and his country ' s restrictive politics , including the recent death of former president ali akbar hashemi rafsanjani and the battle between conservatives and reformists , farhadi looked up and remarked :\nwe ' ve talked about sensitive topics . please report exactly what i said .\nall this makes dawn of the dragonslayer , an indie fantasy film directed by anne b . black ( and not , let me be clear , connected in any way with syfy ) , that much more extraordinary and interesting . it couldn\u2019t have cost much more than most syfy movies , yet the things that don\u2019t depend on money\u2013talent , the desire to do good work , and belief in the project at hand\u2013nudge it into the realm of real cinema . it\u2019s low budget , but not low rent .\ni completely agree . i was just watching this movie and thought the same thing . it is almost identical to \u201cman from snowy river . \u201d from the death of the father ; the man coming down from the hills ; the other men don\u2019t get along with him except the quiet one ; the early fight with the dragon ; the girl runs off ; and so on . as far as i can tell , the only difference is the time it\u2019s set in and there is a dragon and not a horse . this movie , although pretty good , is a rip -

paced and action - packed , the salesman is not one of them . farhadi instead presents the audience with a slow burn . a sense of looming dread starts to build as viewers learn about the complicated human relationships that drive this story , and when events start to spiral out of control in the last act of the movie , those same relationships provide an explosive finish . the story is as well - written and well - acted as one might expect from one of farhadi\u2019s films , if perhaps a bit less subtle in its messages than a separation . those messages are more relevant than ever as we contemplate the ramifications of the ban that is preventing farhadi from entering the united states . what are the dangers of a tough guy attitude , and who are the innocent victims of revenge ? what does it mean to protect your family , your wife , or your nation ? to provide for them ? is it possible to do these things and still keep them emotionally , intellectually , and physically whole ?\n\u201cwhen the trilogy was performed together for a two -

d film and live actors is pretty cool and unique . with that said , i still think t2 should be on the chopping block after shrek . then there is transformers right behind shrek that is a full blown 3 - d ride that mixes simulation and dark ride . i get that it is family friendly , but so is despicable me . i think they can find better use for the land shrek takes up .\nthis chart shows you roughly how long you ' ll wait for shrek 4 -

d wait times .\nsince its inception as a theme park attraction , the film was released onto dvd as shrek 3 - d , and has even been released in 2 - d when it was shown on nickelodeon in 2007 under the title shrek ' s never before seen adventure , and has since been made available on netflix and online , now titled , the ghost of lord farquaad .\ntechnicalities aside , shrek 4 - d is a mixed bag . it\u2019s frantic , laugh - out - loud funny , and iconoclastic . concerning the last , the film takes a good poke at disney , with pinocchio , the three little pigs , and tinker bell ( among others ) all sucked into the mayhem . but the video quality is dated by today\u2019s ultra - hd standards , the storyline is incoherently disconnected from the preshow , and the franchise\u2019s relevance has faded since the lackluster fourth film . on the upside , in contrast to disney\u2019s it\u2019s tough to be a bug ! , shrek 4 - d doesn\u2019t generally freak out kids under age 7 .\nthe theme park today looks very different from santiago\u2019s previous visit . despicable me minion mayhem joins such \u201cveteran\u201d attractions as shrek 4 - d , and waterworld . the park has expanded rapidly in the past five years as part of a plan that president and coo of universal studios hollywood , larry kurzweil , calls an \u201cepic transformation . \u201d\nuniversal claims it can move about 2 , 400 guests per hour through shrek 4 - d , but the show\u2019s location at the front of the park and directly across from despicable me minion mayhem translates to heavy traffic in the morning . if you see lines longer than 20 minutes , try visiting during mealtimes or in the last 2 hours the park is open . there\u2019s not much in the film or preshow to scare small children . stationary seating is available upon request . be aware that shrek 4 - d shuts down one of its two theaters in the fall to hold a haunted house for halloween horror nights , greatly increasing wait times during an otherwise slow season .\nthe shrek sensibility fits the universal attraction mold : loud , wild , and in - your - face . where disney excels at establishing or rekindling warm , fuzzy childhood memories , universal is the rebellious adolescent that wants to blow everything up . for all of the theme park conventions it blows up , however , shrek 4 - d doesn ' t stray too far from the tried and true .\nthe same folks that created the enormously popular shrek movies , dreamworks and voice actors , mike myers , eddie murphy , cameron diaz , and john lithgow , lent their talents to universal studios ' winning attraction . the eye - popping computer animation and laugh - a - minute style translates well to the\n4 - d\ntheater experience .\nhuman shrek & stallion donkey ' s character bio in shrek 2 ( video game ) with all upgrades equipped .\nwith regards to a bug ' s life , it should be worth noting that as a 4 - d movie , it ' s tough to be a bug could have been easily swapped if the movie didn ' t work out . a dark ride would take more time to reconfigure .\nif you ' re a fan of the shrek movies , you ' ll like shrek 4 - d . the attraction incorporates much of the same action and humor . however , if you ' re a really big shrek fan , there ' s a good chance that you have seen the ride movie already , which has been released in multiple forms in years past ( on dvd with the first shrek film , on netflix where it is billed as the ghost of lord farquaad , and as a dvd sampler in kellogg ' s cereal boxes - just to name a few ) . of course , you do get the benefit of the seats , which move up , down , and around in sync with the movie action , and the 4 - d special effects , which definitely can ' t be obtained from a cereal box .\nguarantee our current prices and spread the cost of your orlando tickets , with a deposit of just \u00a325pp . balance due 4 weeks prior to your departure .\nguests then move into the main theater , don their 3 - d glasses , and recline in seats equipped with \u201ctactile transducers\u201d and \u201cpneumatic air propulsion and water spray nodules capable of both vertical and horizontal motion . \u201d in english , that means the seats move , bump and vibrate along with the action , like the d - box seats now found in local cinemas . the film ' s 3 - d effects aren ' t bad , and the 3 - d glasses you ' ll wear do a good job even if you ' re putting them over prescription glasses , but it relies on older polarized 3 - d projection instead of the newer dichroic system used by despicable me . as far as the phrase\n4 - d\ngoes , physicists may object that the earth ' s fourth dimension is time , but as far as theme parks go , the fourth dimension is water . expect to get a mild spritz or three during the show . guests are also subjected leg licklers and smells relevant to the on - screen action ( oh boy ) .\nas part of the famed universal studios hollywood studio tour , king kong 360 3 - d created by peter jackson is the largest , most intense 3d experience on the planet . king kong 360 3 -

humous since lord farquaad ostensibly died in the movie , and it\u2019s his ghost making the plans , but never mind .\nsea - bands : because most of the rides at universal studios hollywood , even the movie studio tour , are 4 -

d has been around for over 13 years without any substantial changes . disney ' s best\nclassic\nattractions are not based on any films , and i ' d argue that aside from peter pan , none of the film based attractions have been around for\ndecades\n. snow white ' s scary adventures at disneyland is probably the only exception , but line lengths would suggest its popularity waned long ago . even with the snow white films over the past few years - snow white and the huntsman , mirror mirror , and winter ' s war ( none from disney i ' ll note ) , there as now been any increase in interest in the aging attraction .\ntwo sentence insider summary based on the classic shrek films , this attraction takes place between shrek 1 and shrek 2 ( call it shrek 1 . 5 ) . it is a standard 3d movie experience with 4d \u201cin the theater\u201d special effects , similar to disney\u2019s the little mermaid show at hollywood studios or mickey\u2019s philharmagic at magic kingdom .\nthe ride begins with a short preshow that reminds everyone about the plot of the first shrek movie . guests are then hustled into a theater , where they don their 3 - d glasses . the premise of the ride film is simple : lord farquaad , back in ghost form , has kidnapped princess fiona , and it ' s up to shrek and donkey to save her .\ngiven the age of the franchise , i somewhat question whether shrek would be popular if there aren ' t more films in development . according to recent rumors , shrek 4 - d is closing at ush in the next couple years ( not sure about the florida installation ) and there are no future shrek attractions under development . therefore , assuming it would be at least 5 years before a new shrek attraction would open , i just don ' t see it being a lucrative option . universal is probably better off focusing on dreamworks attractions based on madagascar , kung fu panda , and how to train your dragon at this time . all that said , if there are more shrek feature films in development , a shrek land would be an excellent choice for inclusion in a 3rd florida park or 2nd california park . it ' s just one of those properties that really doesn ' t connect well if you don ' t know the source material .\nthe shrek meet and greet had a beautiful upgrade just last year and looks wonderful .\nshrek ( regally known as sir shrek ) is the titular protagonist of the shrek franchise . he is fiona ' s husband , donkey and puss ' best friend , the ogre triplets ' father , and the son in law of queen lillian and king harold .\nshrek appears in mega challenge as an opponent in challenges 30 , 32 and 35 and in tournaments 2 , 6 , 9 , 13 , 14 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 and 27 . he is required to be used in challenges 4 , 6 , 7 , 23 and bonus 1 , 5 and 7 .\njoin gru , his daughters and the mischievous minions on a heartwarming and thrilling 3 -

in london , england which ties the companies\u2019 shrek and kung fu panda franchises .\nsince marrying fiona , shrek had been deathly afraid of the prospect of having children , possibly due to his own upbringing as an ogre . by the end of shrek the third , however , he overcomes this fear and proves to be a loving father .\nstorytelling : shrek has adept knowledge of fairy tales and ogre lore , such as the stories of throwback and bloodnut the flatulent .\nshrek the musical is the only instance of donkey and dragon ever singing a duet together ( i ' m a believer ) .\nin shrek forever after , to the audience that it was the first time to see dragon and donkey share a brief kiss .\nlast summer i went with a couple who had never been to universal before . shrek was their favorite atraction in the park .\nyes , shrek is literally surrounded by 3d attractions that most would consider better than shrek . however , not everyone can withstand or enjoy the intensity ( yes , there are people out there who consider despicable me and terminator intense ) of those other attractions .\nshrek 4 - d is a newly opened ride at universal studio ' s in orlando florida and i believe also universal hollywood . you are taken into a room prior to entering the movie theatre and are given a brief overview of what happened in shrek , the original movie . the attendant in the room continually threatens your with a flogging . this is fun the first time you see it , but by the third time , it is pretty tedious . i do not normally like 3d , the effect makes me feel sick and i tend to have to keep taking my 3d glasses on and off , yet i eventually managed to sit through the whole of this ride with my glasses on . so where does 4d come into it ? this is where you get squirted with water when donkey sneezes , your chair moves in time with the action and you get to feel lovely ` spiders ' running under your legs . shrek is an excellent ride , worthy of several attempts , regardless of age . however my favourite universal ride is still mib !\nin shrek 2 , when he was transformed into a human after drinking the happily ever after potion , shrek became a tall and muscular man with short dark brown hair with a single fringe sprouted on the left side . he also gained a cleanly shaved beard .\nas the sun rises , shrek begins to fade from existence , but fiona , having fallen in love with him all over again , kisses him just before he disappears completely , which nullifies the contract and restores shrek to his world just before he originally lashed out at everyone . shrek embraces his friends and family with new - found appreciation for everything he has , truly living happily forever after .\nwe founded attraction tickets direct in 2002 in order to add happiness to holidays and make it easier for you to buy attraction tickets to the world ' s leading attractions . since then , we have served over 4 million happy customers and the values and customer promises are the same today as they were when we started . read more . . .\nshrek is bored on halloween , and wants to have something scary . the power of thriller gives him more than he bargained for .\nfiona and shrek both go tumbling over the waterfall . it looks like they ' re goners for sure . when suddenly . . .\n: after donkey and dragon leave to\ngo home and make some waffles !\n, this exchange happens between shrek and fiona .\ntheme music power - up : plays just before shrek , donkey , and dragon dive into the canyon to defeat the stone dragon .\nan original story you can only experience here , born from dreamworks ' academy award\u00ae winning film\nshrek\u00ae .\ngo on a new thrilling adventure with shrek and donkey ! it is a world of 4d , created by adding new dimensional special effect to a 3d movie .\nprincess fiona ' s parents invite her and shrek to dinner to celebrate her marriage . if only they knew the newlyweds were both ogres .\nafter the pre - show , thelonius is able to make it from duloc to shrek ' s swamp in a remarkable amount of time .\ncertainly , said mr . katzenberg , noting that the \u201cshrek\u201d attraction will be built next to the london eye , one of europe\u2019s most heavily visited tourist sites . \u201cshrek is the torchbearer of our company , \u201d he said . \u201cthis keeps him fresh , fun and relevant . \u201d\nshrek , fiona , and donkey are on their way to the hotel where shrek and fiona will spend their honeymoon when they encounter lord farquaad ' s ghost ! farquaad sends his henchman , thelonious , to bring princess fiona to him where he will force her to become the queen of the ghostly world . now , shrek and donkey must save the princess in this timeless tale that ' s filled with spooky - good fun\nso what ' s the story .\nshrek 4d\npicks right where the original\nshrek\nmovie left off . shrek and princess fiona are off of their honeymoon . only they ' ve somehow lost their way en route . in order to get to their honeymoon hotel , should they follow the road that takes them through the pleasant green glade . . . or the one that takes them scary , scary woods .\nshrek realises that the day rumpelstiltskin erased was the day he was born , meaning he never existed in this world before and is unrecognized by everyone he knows . furthermore , when the day ends , shrek will fade from existence . shrek escapes rumpelstiltskin ' s castle with the enslaved donkey who , initially terrified of shrek , sympathizes with his situation and reveals that the only way to render his contract null and void is through\ntrue love ' s kiss .\ndonkey sees some waffles and is tempted to eat them but shrek says no , accidentally donkey dribbles on them and is cast down a hole with shrek running after him . after speaking to many ogres who seem to live down the hole , they find fiona who , still cursed after escaping from the tower where she was held captive , is the leader of an ogre resistance against rumpelstiltskin and keeps the retired and overweight puss in boots as a pet . shrek does everything he can to gain fiona ' s love , but she is too busy preparing an ambush on rumpelstiltskin during his nightly ogre hunt . however , the ogres are caught in a trap instead and captured . shrek insists fiona kiss him , saying it will fix everything , but because fiona doesn ' t love him , it is ineffective . upon hearing that rumpelstiltskin is offering anything desired by the one who captures shrek with no strings attached , shrek turns himself in in exchange for all ogres being released , but fiona remains in custody because she is only an ogre by night due to her curse . shrek and fiona are set to be fed to dragon , but donkey , puss and the ogres raid rumpelstiltskin ' s castle , allowing shrek and fiona to subdue both dragon and rumpelstiltskin .\nafter his swamp is filled with magical creatures , shrek agrees to rescue princess fiona for a villainous lord in order to get his land back .\nshrek can be spotted as general monger ' s medal of order on his right chest in one of the scenes in monsters vs . aliens .\nshrek forever after , the most recent instalment in the series , made more than $ 750 million at the worldwide box office back in 2010 .\nthe latest universal orlando attraction , shrek 4 - d , has some major spoofs off walt disney attractions and characters . first of all , is a picture of a dwarf wearing a shirt saying ,\ni ' m not with dopey .\nnext are two attraction posters that look nearly identical to the disneyland versions ( edited for theming , of course ) : donk - o ( flying donkey - spoof off dumbo ) and the enchanted tick room . tinkerbell is a real victim . in the queue , there are several hollywood - style footprints / signing . shrek , donkey , etc . are featuerd with feet and signature . however , a very pathetic and disoriented version of tinkerbell ' s body fills the concrete . tink is later ( in the show ) , nearly eaten by a frog ( being stuck to its tongue ) after doing a ' disneyland ' style introduction , splatted on to a map , and thrown across the theater , crashing into a light . kinda disturbing for the kids , i think ! : lol :\nalthough construction barriers obscure parts of hollywood\u2019s potter world , at the moment , the area looks nearly complete . \u201cwe are absolutely on target , \u201d kurzweil confirms . in addition to the immersive landscape , it will include two main attractions : a family - friendly coaster called flight of the hippogriff and a 3 - d dark ride called harry potter and the forbidden journey .\nin a parody of dating shows , the mirror introduced three different princesses for lord farquaad to choose from : cinderella , snow white , and princess fiona . at thelonius ' suggestion , farquaad chooses princess fiona , who is locked away in a castle guarded by a ferocious dragon . despite the mirror ' s attempt to warn him about what happens at sunset , lord farquaad decides to plan a tournament to see which knight would be worthy enough to embark on a quest to retrieve fiona . however , shrek , who had traveled from his swamp to duloc accompanied by donkey to ask farquaad to move the fairytale creatures off his swamp , interrupts the tournament . farquaad then changed the tournament , as the knight that ends up killing shrek will be named champion . however , despite the knights ' best efforts , they were all defeated with relative ease by both shrek and donkey . faarquad ' s archers take aim at shrek , but faarquad , seizing a golden opportunity , declares shrek the champion of the tournament and gives a proposition to shrek : if shrek successfully completes the quest to rescue fiona , faarquad will restore shrek ' s swamp back to normal , before the fairytale creatures took refuge .\ni ' m an ap but the show type attractions still draw me , i just think shrek is the worst one remaining . especially when it is completely surrounded by better 3 - d attractions . but i do agree that the shrek ip is something universal isn ' t going to just get rid of , it ' s still somewhat popular and i still see shrek ' s face associated with usf a lot . hell , my 2013 pass holder had shrek and donkey on it . i just think from my standpoint , the attraction is outdated and outclassed by multiple attractions within feet of it at it ' s own park . but i can understand that tourists may enjoy it and it still serves a purpose as a people eater . i just hope by the time universal ' s big spending / building spree is over this will have been replaced with something unique . i still don ' t see this legoland thing having an effect on the usf attraction though .\nye olde butcherede englishe : in florida ' s version of the attraction , the exit gift shop is called shrek ' s ye olde souvenir shoppe .\nyou fool ! : farquaad uses the insult against the magic mirror in the pre - show as well as shrek and donkey in the main show .\nthe experience will be themed around the shrek movie series , after merlin signed a deal with creator dreamworks animation . the london version , dubbed shrek ' s far far away adventure , will be located close to the london eye , the sea life london aquarium and the newly - relocated london dungeon .\npc version , while not physically appears in the game , farquaad ' s face is seen on a training dummy that shrek uses to practice fighting .\ndon ' t forget merlin ' s shrek adventure in london . there ' s supposed to be another 5 or 20 on the way . . .\nshrek 4d has recieved some updates in the past week . a new shorter pre - show replaces the old recap of the original shrek movie . donkey joins in and actually interacts with the audience !

colored traditional half - saree with jasmine adoring their young and long tresses and the whole atmosphere was gala at its best . it was the perfect traditional wedding set - up one could ever wish for\u2026\npreethi was getting married to her distant relative prem . prem was not only a distant relative but also a childhood friend of preethi . the marriage was nevertheless an arranged - marriage . prem was working for a small company as an engineer . preethi had just finished her graduation in commerce and was full of dreams of a happy wedded life .\nwhen the muhurtham time arrived , the archakar shouted getti - melam - - - getti - melam and with the perfection of a symphony , all the musicians sitting across started trumpeting their nadaswaram and tabla with a high pitch and prem tied the \u201cthali\u201d around preethi\u2019s ever - inviting neck . while preethi was all smiles and tears , prem was all smiles whilst bundle of nerves . the rituals went on for another hour and the couple was set free to move around .\npreethi went into the bride\u2019s room in the mantap and met with all the relatives who had arrived from near and far - off places and hours flew by the minutes and days flew by the hours and months flew by the days . any progress ? any progress ? questioned near and dear ones started asking preethi . did you check - up with a doctor ? and what not \u2013 all sorts of assumptions were being made adding to the mental agony for preethi .\nit was prem and preethi who knew the reasons . prem mentioned that since he was not very well off \u2013 they could have a child when he was fit - enough meaning when he gets into a good job with a good salary . preethi agreed .\nafter a year or so , prem moved into a better job with a better salary . their happiness knew no bounds . they went for their real honeymoon to ooty for a week . preethi went to all those temples which she had visited earlier , to pray for a better break for prem , to thank all those gods now .\nas months passed by , preethi felt it was the right time to get into a new home of their own ; de - linking prem\u2019s aged parents all alone . she justified saying it was the right time to set up a family of their own \u2013 disconnecting the dependence of prem on his father . for this proposal to go nuclear , prem disagreed saying he wanted to have a fat bank balance . preethi never agreed to this \u2013 saying a small loan at this stage would not seem such a big burden .\npreethi instead of convincing prem and father - in - law , protested vehemently . neither prem nor his father could understand her motivation to go nuclear . preethi confided in me that she enjoyed very little freedom at home ; she could not understand prem the extent she liked ; she mentioned that even to go for a weekend movie , prem would invite his parents ; she had to labor at home with the daily chores ; she felt constrained when her college friends wanted to visit her for a day or two \u2013 because her in - laws protested ; never a day passed by without a stinker of a comment on her cooking ; in short she felt out - of - place . she never felt the homely feeling that she enjoyed at her parents home .\non repeated pleadings by prem , preethi mentioned that prem\u2019s brother and his wife were making nasty comments about them being dependent on his father . in actual , prem was the one who was taking care of all the household expenses . so the impression of prem and mrs . prem depending on prem\u2019s father\u2019s pension was just a false - notion . despite prem\u2019s pleadings for couple of month\u2019s time , preethi , never agreed .\non getting a loan from a bank , prem and preethi , moved into a rented apartment . as days passed by , life in the new nuclear home became monotonous . preethi lost zest in life for unknown reasons and that reflected in her cooking and other household chores . despite prem asking for reasons , she never replied straight . she started yelling at prem . prem was confused . prem adjusted to the new scenario with the greatness of a true sage and moved on . when there was food at home , he had \u2013 without protesting on poor - taste or poor - quality of preparation .\ni wondered what else prem could do . now when i asked preethi \u2013 she was my schoolmate and we have been together for more than a decade now \u2013 she never replied straight . but with me and our other common friends , she showed no change . she was as bubbly as she has ever - been . but the problems in marriage showed up in her sharp reactionary comments and attitude in life . but she did mention that the way she chatted for hours with prem before marriage , was missing now . she mentioned that she had expected that she would be chatting more with prem after marriage and the quality and content of chats would be much more deeper and more meaningful . she wondered whatever happened to that . words were not there to blurt out ; neither were they finding any topics of mutual interest to discuss .\nwhen i asked prem , if there was any problem in marriage \u2013 \u201cproblems ? no , no way . \u201d prem was as charming as he has ever been . but for some strange reasons , the charm between prem and preethi , vanished for reasons not known to the outside world .\npreethi , are you upset that you don\u2019t have a kid ? - i asked mildly but in the straightest possible manner . she kept mum and never replied . when i fired the same question to prem \u2013 \u201cno . no way . when i cannot take care of my own needs and dreams , there is no way can i have a child\u201d \u2013 was the straight reply . did you convince preethi on this aspect ? \u2013 \u201cyes\u201d was another straight reply . i wondered the reasons for the chemistry to vanish between them . all the elements of normal marriage were missing between them .\nprem was getting all the more frustrated seeing his friends and colleagues happily married and having fun in life . he felt that there was no fun in life without a good marriage and that there was an end to all problems . in this case , he thought the best was to get a divorce . preethi also , apparently , felt the same \u2013 but never opened her mind on this contentious issue called \u201cdivorce\u201d .\n\u201cpreethi , will you accept a divorce ? \u201d \u2013 i asked her . she thundered \u201cwhat the hell ? are you trying to break my marriage ? do you have any vested interest in breaking my marriage ? - and all hell broke loose . i did not pursue further in this matter and left her alone .\nprem was fed up with the marriage and he felt that there was no way he could continue like this forever . hence he approached his dad saying he wanted to divorce . to his dismay , his father replied straight \u2013 \u201ctake a vacation and come back . everything will be alright\u201d .\nwhen prem approached his mother \u2013 she passed away with a massive heart attack .\nbehind prem\u2019s charming smiles were hidden all the dejections that one could ever have in a failed marriage . but none in the outside world could ever guess this .\nprem\u2019s dad stuck to his position and said that problems in marriage are all common . divert your attention from this issue for few days and everything will become ok . prem was disgusted with this reply and vowed that he never would come back to his father seeking help or guidance .\nthough embarrassing , very reluctantly he approached his aunt to help him . but in vain . when he approached his elder brother , he just laughed away the matter , saying \u2013 \u201cbaby , c\u2019mon you are too young to talk big things like divorce . it will be a shame on our entire family if you even mention the word divorce outside these four walls \u2013 imagine the depths of shame if you divorce \u2013 go go . take a vacation and come back ; everything will be alright . \u201d\nprem , a shy and god - fearing person by nature did not have the guts to rock the boat , in a single mighty stroke .\nmonths passed by and the chemistry that existed between prem and preethi before marriage never returned \u2013 according to both prem and preethi . prem felt highly disgusted and even thought of committing suicide .\nprem was cheerful as ever and when he invited me for a dinner \u2013 i agreed reluctantly . he took me to a five star hotel . \u201cwhy did you not invite preethi ? \u201d \u201cto hell with her . don\u2019t get her name here . i just came to relax and wanted to have a peaceful dinner \u2013 sans crowd . \u201d \u201cok\u2026 cool down . i bet you will have the dinner of your lifetime tonight\u201d i cheered him . while having food\u2026he cribbed \u2013 \u201ci have cleared the personal loan ; acquired a car ; acquired all the fancy items that i had dreamt for many years now ; also acquired a small apartment of my own ; but i am getting frustrated in life despite all these positives . i did not buy all these on my own volition \u2013 it was preethi who egged me to each one of these . now still she is not content and i don\u2019t know what else she wants . apparently she herself is confused . i feel like killing her . none in the family are coming to my rescue \u2013 no one wants to help me . i am frustrated . \u201d seeing him in a very dejected and charged up mood , i thought it was better he stay away from preethi for the weekend for a change . so i invited him to my apartment .\nin the apartment , passions ran high when prem was narrating his sad stories . i was completely overwhelmed listening to his tragedy in life \u2013 when i came back to senses we were on the sofa au - naturel . i saw prem deep in sleep . i slept back . the next morning , with a sense of guilt , i had my longest bath ever . a while later\u2026\u201cprem\u2026prem get up \u2013 it\u2019s already nine . \u201d finding no response from prem , i shook his head\u2026but his head was hanging with saliva out and\u2026he was gone forever .\ni was shattered to the core ; carrying the unbearable pain in the heart and confusion in my mind ; i went back to kerala to be with my ever - loving parents ; and stayed there for few years .\nwhen i came to chennai on an occasion , i thought of calling - on preethi . there she was\u2026sitting alone in a dark room , playing with a doll . \u201cpreethi , do you recognize me ? \u201d staring at me like a wounded tiger , she whispered \u2013 \u201cwhy am i alive . kill me\u2026kill me\u2026\u201d . clutching the doll she cried , \u201cthis is my daughter . her father is prem . do you know ? \u201d\ni called out \u201csada . . sada\u2026\u201d came running my 9 year old daughter sada\u2026with tears rolling down my eyes , i was shattered beyond control and comprehension . sada is the living memory of that portentous day with prem\u2026\nsixthsenseman : thanks for stopping by . . . i agree . . . expectations growing exponentially and level of patience spiralling downwards - i feel , is the root cause of all problems / discord in current day marriages .\nit was a masterpiece . you have rightly thrown light on the problem faced by the majority of couple . one can find many preetis and prems in the modern world . the nuclear families had added fuel further to the breaking marriages . expectations are very high from each other in married couples and patience is much lesser . further the sense of insecurity is there ! one longs for more and more . important decisions like , having a child or marrying is deferred in the name of settling or in the name of career . divorce seems to be the only solution . in fact , one should give enough breathing space to other spouse so that there is no suffocation in the married life .\nthe emergence of sara is the most impressive part of your story . what a tragic end to the marriage of prem and preeti ! but we should try to peep deep into ourselves to find the answers !\nwow ! an excellent analytical comment - i suspect you beat even google - analytics software .\nchanging partners frequently as in the usa - where about 60 % of the marriages ends in divorce urltoken - is not desirable in indian context , for the simple reason that about 80 % of the girls here are dependant on husband for a living . the divorced women may fall into wrong traps like prostitution , etc .\nin todays ' indian metros divorce rate has increased tremendously [ actually doubled in 2006 in chennai as per a report in deccan chronicle couple of weeks back ] because the expectations are not only very high but skewed . every guy [ expressly wishes ] wants to see an aishwarya in his wife and every girl [ implicitly desires ] wants to see a sharuk khan or amir or some other hero in her husband . that is the reason while guys / gals go through 100s of profiles during the match - making process - and after marriage - within a couple of weeks they realise that the dreams were one thing and actuality is something very different - resulting in discord . it is said that guys imagine the\nstuff\nbeneath the saree and girls imagine\nstuff\n[ the heart ] beneath the skin - during the match making ceremony - which [ imagined calculation ] i personally feel in most cases will go awry . coming back to the report , it also mentioned that divorce rate was very very high among employed females - in this highly materialistic world relationship also has become a commodity - which is a sad thing that is happening to fast growing indian metros .\nanyway it is a complex topic to be debated , but very interesting . why don ' t you come out with a blog on this and i guess will be a sure fire hit in sulekha .\nin arranged marriages , there are many benefits . besides matching horoscopes of both , they see character , status and everything before marrying . in such marriages , relatives get together and share happier moments , elders bless young couples and life starts smoothly . some marriages end in failures which cannot be avoided .\nin this case , preeti got frustrated because of no issue of children and prem was not interested in having child till he is financially secured . he was solely responsible for the precarious situation of preeti . in india , elders start enquiring bride ( within few months ) as to whether she has become pregrant or not ? at one stage , it becomes a head ache and if she remains childless for few years , then the lift becomes horrible . in this case prem did not want to become father and the marriage went into rocks . though he had all comforts , preeti could not be satisfied mainly for this reason and he remained admant which caused his life .\ntrue , life becomes boring at one stage without children . after all , how long one can see each other ' s face . we have a proverb in tamil , ` mogam muppathu naal , aasai arubathu naal ' . couples indulge in sexual pleasures for some days . after few months , it too becomes boring . that ' s why to carry on life , children are needed . children not only make parents happy , but they make grand parents also happy and keep them engaged .\nprem ' s option of getting divorce was not approved by their parents and elders for flimsy reasons is appreciable . in india , parents do not approve divorces for flimsy reasons . for them , life would have been more pleasant , had he listened to preeti ( of having child ) .\nin metros , couples start living on mutual understanding ( without the botheration of bearing and rearing children ) . as long as mutual understanding exists between them , they live together . once misunderstanding creeps in , they opt for separation and go for another partner ( like western culture ) .\ni failed to get an apt title for this piece - finally after about 15 minutes of pondering , i thought of this title and placed it . - the title means\nwish you a long married life\nbut in this case , it turns contrary - to that extent the title is in direct contrast to the end ! ! !\nthe point i was trying to make was that the\ngroup dynamics of elders\nneed to radically shift .\ndoes the title old some significance ? . . . . did not zctully get its meaning .\nthe story on the whole begings well . . . it has a direction , the end though seems to have been made up with limited choices . . . as you said the start was a reality you could see and the end . . seems to have been made up , well . . it shows .\nthe good part is the narration , the pointers towards elders leaving things at\ngo get a vacation\n, and the materialistic endevours instead of the spritual kinds . . . nice write uips on the whole\ncultural restrictions are only as strong as we let them to be .\n- i like this and it is very apt .\ni was not looking for that explicit explanation that you have give : that was quiet understandable . there can be several interpretations . but no , i was not bothered by the lack of the explicit conclusion in the story . i was talking about the problem between prem and preethi .\nabout your two questions , 1 > elders do come to\nhelp\n. 2 > no they do not have to stick together .\ni have seen the two things happen so many times . so they are not some exceptions .\ncultural restrictions are only as strong as we let them to be . usually , we use them as excuses to cover our own inadequacies or lack of personal strength . one has to stop questioning\nthem\nand start questioning\noneself\n.\nthanks for stopping by . . . i agree these things never happened in the past . . .\nstorywise well written , backgorund well portrayed , the build up to the issue was fine . . . but where is the issue . issue itself missing . . . answer is found towards the end . . . childlessness . . . whose fault is that . . . why did nt they check out it out with a doctor ?\nwhat prompted preethi to distant herself from prem ? it is her urltoken is her upbringing . may be she is upset with herself ? the guilt that she can ' t give birth to a baby . . . the guilt that she cant bear his child . . . therefore she created a racket . . . rather pre -

- he ' s a ghost , a spirit , the last scion of a long line of english mariners who managed to die at sea in every battle england ever fought . this particular finchhaven , however , died of a booze - induced stroke just before his first battle , and the german ship he had hoped to engage sailed by unmolested ; his furious ancestors decide to send him back to the curmudgeon until he can redeem himself by sinking an enemy ship .\n\u201cgareth , that moment you dreamt about as a kid is now a reality . you are now at the most demanding club in the world . \u201d no pressure there , then .\nsign up to get the latest and greatest about saint clement parish delivered to your inbox .\nan english couple and a deposed ruler head for the border during a south american revolution .\nlt . commander finchhaven , a ghostly relic from the first world war , he had fallen down dead drunk on his first assignment and been consigned from the great beyond to sail the seas until a further opportunity arises to redeem his actions . during the second world war , he is encountered by a quartet of american seamen that includes lt . morton krim and cook w . j . oglethorpe . a deal is completed whereby the men will help re - float finchhaven ' s command in return for a passage to australia . they raid a village to secure batteries for the engine and come upon the feisty jennifer winslow who offers them aid in return for a passage with the crew . eventually they reach the open sea . finchhaven ' s ghostly status is revealed and lt . krim and jennifer help him to sink a japanese cruiser .\nwhich is really sad , because it could have been a much better film if they hadn ' t tried to go for\nexperimental satire .\nmade in 1969 , this may have been intended as a parody of all the flag - waving , glory - mongering ww ii films with the stock footage inserts that had been so popular for much of the preceding two decades . maybe they had only a short story that they needed to puff up to feature length , or maybe the editor or producer or some guy who swept the floor in the studio had watched too many\nmony python\nbits and thought the extra footage would be funny , i don ' t know , but it ruined the film . my husband , who has a soft spot for both war pictures and one - star films , thought it was so dreadful that he fast - forwarded through most of it ; and i only watched the last fifteen minutes of it after listening to it from the kitchen , which is why i don ' t know the name of alan alda ' s character , or what faye dunaway was doing on the ship , or how they and toole and oglethorpe and lightfoot got to be marooned in the first place .\nnow , as i said , there ' s nothing wrong with the story - - it ' s a pretty good concept , and i likes me a nice ghost story . david niven looks elegant as finchhaven , but then david niven has a patent on british elegance . and the segment where he tells his history to the lieutenant is amusing , because the visuals don ' t match the words - - his family are not a long line of noble sailors , but a bunch of clods who keep getting killed in battle shortly after knocking up their women and thus ensuring the succession .\nbut now it was back , decorated with pictures of bale as a 10 -

toting grease - monkey of a trading post operator given passage in exchange for supplies . frankenheimer underplays the romance angle , letting the slapstick complications throw them together time and again while the chemistry of two attractive young people in a crew of old eccentrics did the rest . it ' s a wartime comedy of a misfit unit and a captain of questionable pedigree , a military farce , a slapstick romance and a crazy ghost story all in one strange package .\nthey give him an unlimited amount of time to do so . and although the curmudgeon had been decommissioned , stripped of its guns , and sold after the war , finchaven has a bundle of very irritable -

) . i was always interested in advaitam and had read quite a few material about his life but seeing it on the screen left a big impact on me . it portrays what a sacrifice shankaracharya had done to lift vedic principles and save the country from corrosion .\nperhaps ishti being an art film could have something to do with the lack of wide interest ? prabha disagrees that it\u2019s an art film , and calls it a \u201cserious film\u201d . \u201cin between all these star - driven commercial films , i guess i can see why people would be interested in films like ishti , \u201d he says . that\u2019s why he\u2019s now sending ishti to film festivals across the country . \u201cif it meets with good response there , perhaps the distributors will show more interest ? \u201d\nthis list collects every film from the starting list that became they shoot pictures don ' t they ' s 1000 greatest films . this\u2026\na month ago , though , things were a lot rosier . the hope that the film could win a national award was still alive\u2026 until it was quashed by the announcement that priyamanasam , the only other contender in the sanskrit category this year , had won it instead . but ishti wasn\u2019t made in sanskrit just for the awards , prabha says . after all , he is a retired sanskrit professor , and a former head of the oriental languages department at loyola college . \u201csanskrit isn\u2019t dead , as many people think . i\u2019ve always wanted to make a sanskrit film , if only to show that the language needn\u2019t just be used only for biographical films . \u201d he\u2019s making a reference to the 1983 sanskrit film , adi shankaracharya .\nadi sankaracharya by ayer is a poem is in celluloid without any doubt . the film successfully traces the growth a brahmin boy from kerala into one of the great teachers the world has known . the camera has copied the beauty of nature , especially the rain . every one who is serious about serious movies must posses one .\nit was an evening of surprises at the m m preview theatre in t . nagar , last sunday . the first surprise was that a sanskrit film , ishti , was being screened . arguably the country\u2019s first - ever sanskrit film with a social message , ishti , starring nedumudi venu , played to a packed audience . the director , dr . g . prabha , says he was astonished that so many people turned up for the screening . \u201ci wanted this preview exclusively for members of the press , as i wanted to spread word about my film . for all the money i put into making it , i was worried that the film could simply vanish without getting its time in the sun . \u201d\nthe movie is the biography of shankaracharya . born in the state of kerala , he becomes a monk at an young age and travels north , in search of knowledge and truth . it was a time period when hindus were giving importance to rituals and forgetting the all prevailing , one god . it was also the time period when buddhism was on the raise . shankaracharya forms a new school of thinkers preaching the adhvaitha philosophy . through his new philosophy and teachings he changes the views of many scholars and religious people .\ni remember watching the film on a sunday afternoon . doordarshan would telecast regional films , and they had telecast this . i was probably around 10 years old or so , but i was deeply attracted to the movie .\nby the end of the 8th century , hindu thought and philosophy had acquired several obscurities and inconsistencies and faced a challenge from other heterodox sects and buddhism . born in kerala , shankaracharya arrived on the religious scene around this time . as a boy , he was instructed in the religious life by his father and made to practice the prevalent rituals . his father ' s death , however , compelled him to think deeply about life and death , the body and the soul . with his mother ' s approval , shankaracharya decided to lead a life of truth , a journey which would take him across the sub - continent . shankaracharya furthered the school of vedantic thought and propagated the advaita ( monism ) philosophy , eventually leading to the establishment of the four famous learning centres in the far corners of india .\nfollowing the screening of ishti , several guests took to the stage to talk about the film . among them was b . lenin , an editor and director who has to his credit as many as five national awards . he created a stir when he said that he had reason to believe that the central government had a part to play in ishti being ignored at the national awards , and that the film wasn\u2019t even watched by the national awards jury members .\nishti is about a conservative namboothiri family in the early 1900s , when \u201cit was the norm for the head of the family to practise polygamy , and often marry women at least 40 - 50 years younger than him . \u201d the film ends with the heir of the family burning his sacred thread in anger , and the old namboothiri\u2019s third wife walking out of the house in rebellion , after flinging away her thaali . but prabha doesn\u2019t agree that the film is anti - namboothiri . \u201ci\u2019m simply showing the evil practices of society in the past . even during those days , there were progressive namboothiris . \u201d\ni\u2019m a japanese learning india . a sanskrit movie . the spiritual journey of adi shankara - san . # i hope calling him so does not offend anybody . learned his life and philosophy searching for the truth . btw , this movie shows lots of beautiful places in india . music is also nice . i enjoyed this .\nbut not everybody shares his opinion that ishti is harmless . sivadasan namboothiri , the president of brahmanakshema sabha in muvattupuzha , has filed a case against cbfc for granting the film a u - certificate , and the director for tarnishing the reputation of the namboothiri community . prabha reacts , \u201cthe case is ongoing ; so , i can\u2019t make any comments . i\u2019m told though that the plaintiff is a man from a little - known organisation ; i\u2019m not really worried about this case . \u201d but prabha wishes it hadn\u2019t come to this . \u201ci know there are those who probably think that this is publicity for the film , but as a retired professor , i\u2019ve never wanted such cheap publicity for my work . \u201d\nwhen asked about this controversy , prabha , the director of ishti , said he didn\u2019t know enough to make an informed comment . \u201cbut if it\u2019s true that the awards are manipulated by the government , then i\u2019m really pained . \u201d prabha also said that he hadn\u2019t yet been able to catch priyamanasam , the sanskrit film that won the national award this year .\nadi shankaracha by gv iyer is one of the best movies i have ever seen . the most wonderful narration of the life of the immortal master . it took 25 years after the creation of this classic for me to see the movie . anyway , a lovely wonderful classic . every indian must see this movie . we had and have such a wonderful tradition and culture .\nfor example two children\u2019s join shankara when

more latest movies subscribe @ urltoken\nit is a great movie on jagadguru sankara . the movie in sanskrit with english sub titles is very good . everybody can see this movie and know about adi sankara . it is a true and real story of sankara . i have recently watched a movie in telugu about sankara but there were many number of deviations in the story of sankaracharya . this particular movie is a true story and there no changes made in the story part . every indian irrespective of religions should watch this movie .\nthis is a movie for spiritually inclined people . others might be terribly bored with it as it all about hinduism and one of the greatest saints of hinduism . the movie has the credit of being the first one to be taken in sanskrit . a language that is thousands of years old , but it has taken so long to make a movie in it .\nthe movie as i said before will be boring for non - spiritual people . the most interesting thing that i found in the movie was the usage of symbols by g . v . iyer . the movie is filled with symbolism .\ndirector g . v . iyer ( ganapathi venkatrama iyer ) is a known philosopher . he had put in lots and lots of efforts into the movie . apart from telling the story of a great saint without any commercial selling points in mind . he has also tried to tell his teachings in the most simplest way . he not only tells the story of the saint , he breaks up the big philosophy ' s and truth ' s told in the upanishads and vedas and has tried to give them in a way , even a lay man can understand . and off course his usage of symbolism in the movie is great .\nin a scene where shankara is walking with his followers and a untouchable comes before them . all his followers ask the untouchable to move aways . he does not move . shankara asks him to keep off\nduring this scene where shankara and the untouchable are on opposite sides .\nwisdom\nhis friend movies aways from shankara and stands next to the untouchable , symbolically conveying who is wise and who is ignorant on that case .\nthe movie has very good subtitling . apart from good translation , an explanation of the rituals that are being carried out and symbolic meaning of objects are also subtitled .\nmusic is by dr . balamurali krishna himself . he also sings many of the slogams in the movie .\nmadhu ambat has done a very good job in the movie . the movie has excellent cinematography ( remember this was taken in 1983 ) .\nthe movie won the covetted national award for best picture in 1983 . it also won the national award for best cinematography , best audiography and best screenplay .\nshankara ' s father fore sees his death , his funeral pyre . he then walks inside his house , next to the yaga fire . the camera does a low angle shot , which almost makes him look like as if he is on fire .\ncrow and dove . crow is the doer , the active one . the dove is the passive observer , the atman ( inner self )\nshankara goes to watch a play . the story is that of nachiketha who asked yama to tell him the secret of atma . yama tests him and tells him the truth only after knowing that he is steadfast on attaining that knowledge . shakara sets on with his travel to attain knowledge from govindapada .\nshankara goes to take bath and death is sitting on the banks . shankara asks what are you doing ? .\ndeath\nreplies\niam waiting for you\n. shankara goes to take a swim in the river . he almost drowns , his mother prays saying that she will make him into a monk , if he survives . shankara some how escapes and comes out with a saffron ( symbol of renunciation ) cloth that was floating on the river , covered over his body .\nat the end of the movie when shankara wants to attain moksha . he is all set to reach god , he goes on to the top of the himalaya ' s leaving all his followers . death leaves him saying he cannot follow him anymore and wisdom embraces him .\nshankara ' s journey which starts from the flat lands of the southern most state of india , kerala , ends at the northern part in the summits of the himalaya ' s . he is ready to leave the materialistic world and reach god . he has reached the peak .\nthis movie is one of my favorites , for the reason you summarized so well . though not a hindu , not even an indian , i can still understand well the religious message through its rich symbolism and ascetic photography . hauntingly beautiful and unassumingly profound .\nwas able to like the movie , is a success to g . v . iyer ' s effort to present the movie in simple and symbolic way .\ng . v iyer made another movie called mahabharatha ( also in sanskrit ) .\ni believe so . . i saw it in some indian video sotre in d . c .\nis the dvd available ? ? i checked a couple of online stores , but they dont have it .\ni

pierre leaud , gets totally owned by his girlfriend colette in the last scene of the 1962 short ' antoine et colette ' . antoine and colette was part of a small collection of films called\nl ' amour a vignte ans\n.\nsince my adventures of antoine doinel reviews began on a personal note , i ' ll keep it going by mentioning i had a similar experience to the one antoine has when he runs into colette in stolen kisses . in the years that have passed , colette has gotten married and had a child . the husband / father is the guy she jilts antoine for at the end of antoine and colette , no less . seeing her this way only serves to irritate antoine , and not just because he ' s on a stakeout .\n] , and an affirmation of the classic cinema that informed a young antoine and inspired his author .\nthat was it . it was the last communication between either of us . not unlike some of antoine ' s angry letters to colette and christine , i might add .\nsome time after\nbaisers vol\u00e9s\n, antoine doinel ( jean - pierre l\u00e9aud ) and christine darbon ( claude jade ) are married and antoine works dying flowers , and christine is pregnant and gives . . . see full summary \u00bb\nas their favorite by a mile , but antoine et colette - - the only short in the bunch - - gets its fair share of love too .\nthe meaning becomes clear early on when antoine is spied sprinting from the courthouse by his one - time object of affection , colette ( co - writer marie - france pisier ) . he has just finalized his divorce to christine ( claude jade ) , and antoine is running to get to work . the destination is immaterial , however ; as colette says , same old antoine , always on the run .\nlouise , known for her roles in no angels , torchwood , the chatterley affair and waterloo road , will play holby\u2019s new director of nursing , colette sheward . tough - talking , politically incorrect , funny and loyal , colette is unfazed by arrogant doctors and fiercely protective of her team .\nstolen kisses joins a bumper crop of truffaut blu - rays on august 25 th . as for antoine et colette , artifical eye marketing boss paul diment tweeted to tell me it\u2019ll appear as an extra on the next antoine doinel film , bed and board .\nnow aged 17 , antoine doinel works in a factory which makes records . at a music concert , he meets a girl his own age , colette , and falls in love with her . later , antoine goes to extraordinary lengths to please his new girlfriend and her parents , but colette still only regards him as a casual friend . first segment of \u201clove at twenty\u201d ( 1962 ) .\nantoine et colette , which was originally made as an episode in the series l ' amour \u00e0 vingt ans , was a sequel to truffaut ' s the 400 blows . in the film , antoine doinel ( jean - pierre l\u00e9aud ) works at the philips record store and courts the elusive colette ( marie - france pisier ) . the story of antoine doinel continues on in baisers vol\u00e9s / stolen kisses ( 1968 ) , bed and board ( 1970 ) , and love on the run ( 1979 ) . ~ rovi\n) is so like colette , we ' d think that truffaut just swapped the girl ' s name when he swapped actresses if it wasn ' t for the colette cameo midway through the picture . whatever relationship she and antoine had before the army , he has been relegated to the friendship zone , no matter how hard he pushes . antoine doesn ' t know what to do .\nthis is an exciting time for holby city and louise joining the cast as colette sheward only adds to the buzz of what\u2019s coming up in the show . colette\u2019s unquestionable loyalty will lead to some intense showdowns as she stands by her team no matter what the cost . but as the drama unfolds viewers will find out that everyone at holby has an achilles heel \u2013 and colette is no exception !\nshortly after finishing his great film , jules et jim , fran\u00e7ois truffaut went to work on an omnibus project with a short film of his own and other short films by roberto rossellini , shintaro ishihara , marcel ophuls , and andrzej wajda . the film , as an entire project , was evidently a complete failure , and has seldom been shown as a five - star cinema . but truffaut\u2019s own contribution to the larger work , antoine et colette ( antoine and colette ) was an important development in his career , namely because it represents the second in his ongoing antoine doinel series .\ncast : jean - pierre leaud ( antonie doinel ) , marie - france pisier ( colette ) , patrick auffay ( rene ) , rosy varte ( colette ' s mother ) , jean - francois adam ( albert tazzi ) .\ntruffaut didn\u2019t plan the adventures of antoine doinel , until a short film antoine and colette in love at twenty , where he depicts doinel now as a teenager having his first love and professional experience . truffaut settles more obstacles and psychological crises on the character . antoine lingers on nostalgia , unresolved matters , and thus reflecting this on his lovers and decisions . he has the mind and soul of a child ; the child we once saw in the 400 blows . here is a character who persists on personifying the end of childhood and truffaut\u2019s adulthood and his more joyful years . the character antoine is part of truffaut , but not entirely ; a part of lead , but not wholly , it\u2019s a piece of you , me , and everybody .\nit is , instead , a series of sequences in which everyone takes stock - - the now serenely self - aware christine , the beautiful , sensitive , funny colette , as well as the perplexed antoine . they take stock in great swatches of flashbacks lifted from\nthe 400 blows\n( black - and - white ) ,\ncolette\n( sepia ) , and\nstolen kisses\nand\nbed and board\n( both in color ) .\nperon , didier , and antoine de baecque . \u201cleaud , retour \u00e0 doinel . \u201d lib\u00e9ration 31 august 2001 .\nthat same evening antoine runs into colette , again played by marie - france pisier , who is now a lawyer and still a woman with a mind of her own , which is to say that she has antoine & apos ; s number . by one of those coincidences that tie such comedies together , colette & apos ; s lover , a librarian , turns out to be the brother of antoine & apos ; s sabine , which leads to a certain amount of misunderstanding of no real importance .\nafter\nthe 400 blows ,\nwhich introduced antoine as the 13 - year - old juvenile delinquent , there were the\ncolette\nsequence from\nlove at 20\n( 1963 ) , in which antoine courted the spirited marie - france pisier but won only the affection of her parents ;\nstolen kisses\n( 1969 ) , in which antoine , discharged without honor from the army , pursued the music student , christine ( claude jade ) ; and\nbed and board\n( 1971 ) , in which the marriage of antoine and christine fell apart as the self - interested antoine sought a literary career and extra - marital affairs .\nlouise delamere said : \u201cit ' s great to be joining holby city as part of the team . colette is a surprising and funny character and i look forward to starting my ward rounds ! \u201d\n. his move , if nothing else , brings him even closer to colette\u2019s parents , who now invite him over regularly for dinners ; but his shift of living conditions does little to assure him of colette\u2019s love . and by the brief film\u2019s end , he finds himself sharing a bowl of tangerines with the old folks , while an older boy stops by to collect colette for a date . antoine may have gained a new set of parents , but he has lost the object of his love . obviously , he is seen by colette , as she describes him in the last of the doinel series ,\nis deceptively simple and was largely improvised by truffaut and his cast . when we first meet our main character , antoine ( jean - pierre leaud ) , he works as a stock room boy in a record publishing firm in paris and lives in a furnished room in place clichy . one day while attending a berlioz music program he is instantly smitten by a beautiful young woman in the audience . he begins to notice her at other concerts he attends and eventually works up the nerve to speak to her . a friendship develops between them ; they have coffee together , exchange favorite books and records , but all the while antoine is harboring a secret love for colette . antoine ' s infatuation spurs him to relocate to an apartment directly across the street from colette ' s home where he can more carefully monitor her activities . even though he befriends her parents and insinuates himself into their household as if he were a member of the family , his possessiveness towards colette ends up driving her away from him . in the final scene , a gentleman caller arrives to take colette to the cinema , leaving antoine to watch television with colette ' s parents .\nthis short film is the first segment of five in the multinational feature love at twenty ( 1962 ) , all five segments on the theme of first adult love . after indulging in much delinquency in his youth , seventeen year old antoine doinel , having been provided opportunity to get out of that delinquent life , is now an upstanding member of society working for philips records , which allows him to indulge in his love of music . at the youth concerts , he has noticed the same young woman at several performances , she who he would like to get to know . she is colette , the two who do begin to date . colette treats antoine like a buddy , while antoine has fallen in love with her . his pursuit of getting colette to be his exclusive girlfriend is helped on the surface in the fact that colette ' s parents like him and encourage their dating . he uses grand romantic gestures to try and prove his love . will colette ultimately fall under antoine ' s romanticism ?\nantoine doinel . he ' s got four ladies . . . nine lives . . . and plenty of alibis !\noliver kent , executive producer , holby city , said : \u201cthis is an exciting time for holby city and louise joining the cast as colette sheward only adds to the buzz of what\u2019s coming up in the show . colette\u2019s unquestionable loyalty will lead to some intense showdowns as she stands by her team no matter what the cost . but as the drama unfolds viewers will find out that everyone at holby has an achilles heel \u2013 and colette is no exception ! \u201d\na podcast network and website for fans of quality theatrical and home video releases .\nantoine and colette\ncatches up with antoine doinel as a solitary 17 - year - old who works at phillips manufacturing lps to support himself . he meets colette , a high - school student , at a concert and falls in love for the first time . the film traces his awkward courtship of the icy colette , who never reciprocates . l\u00e9aud gives a mature , knowing performance , establishing antoine as a universal figure , an everyman \u2014 or in this case , an everyboy - man \u2014 whose joys and pains can be felt by everyone . truffaut continues the soft , moving style he employed in\nles quatre cents coups\nto great effect , painting a poetic portrait of young , unrequited love . doinel ' s adventures follow with\nthe second entry in the antoine doinel series is actually a short segment from an anthology film featuring directors from around the world telling stories about first - time love affairs . made in 1962 and running just thirty minutes , antoine and colette picks up with antoine a few years after the 400 blows ( and it ' s included as a bonus on the 400 blows dvd [ review ] ) . he is 17 and on his own . he has developed a love for classical music , and he works at a record company , first inserting the platters in their sleeves and then hand - pressing the albums himself .\nantoine et colette was originally planned as two things : a ) as a continuation for curious followers of antoine doinel ' s life after his harsh childhood anecdotes of delinquency , lack of parental figures and scholar abuse , and b ) the first of five segments of the multinational feature l ' amour \u00e0 vingt ans ( 1962 ) , where the legendary directors shintar\u00f4 ishihara , marcel oph\u00fcls , renzo rossellini and andrzej wajda also participated .\nsome time after\nbaisers vol\u00e9s\n, antoine doinel ( jean - pierre l\u00e9aud ) and christine darbon ( claude jade ) are married and antoine works dying flowers , and christine is pregnant and gives private classes of violin . when christine is near to have a baby , antoine decides to find a new job , and he succeeds due to a misunderstanding of his employer . in a business meeting , he meets the japanese kyoko ( mademoiselle hiroko ) and they have an affair . when christine accidentally discovers that antoine has a lover , they separate . but later they miss each other and realize that they do love each other .\nantoine doinel is now more than thirty . he divorces from christine . he is a proofreader , and is in love with sabine , a record seller . colette , his teenager love , is now a lawyer . she buys . . . see full summary \u00bb\nseems to be truffaut ' s way of telling us not to worry about antoine .\nwhile antoine , christine and colette relive their earlier entanglements , mr . truffaut makes it clear that his identification with antoine / leaud has grown from one based on concern , fondness and superficial likenesses to one having to do with a philosophy of life and art . antoine & apos ; s stories - - the ones he acts out in these films as well as the ones he wants to writer as a novelist - - are so totally concerned with the processes and emotions of falling in love that he & apos ; s continually surprised when the affairs are suddenly over .\n] ) . she is a fidgety girl and doesn ' t really seem focused on the performance , but rather than see that as a red flag , antoine is drawn to her . he starts to look for her at shows , and eventually talks to her and befriends her . truffaut captures the excitement and confusion of young love , both in success and failure . antoine spends much of\nantoine et colette , truffaut ' s second feature about the frequently - aimless antoine doinel , has the virtue of being compact in its theme , content , and length . it ' s the natural follow - up for the character from what we last see in the 400 blows . self - sufficient and working for a record company in paris , his problems have shifted from school and parents to girls . his relationship with his friend colette ( whom he wants to be more than friends with ) is the focus here , and it ' s depicted with the same realistic awkwardness that truffaut depicted so well in the previous movie .\nthe vicissitudes of antoine\u2019s relationship with christine are somewhat difficult to follow , as acknowledged in the first treatment : \u201cas the picture progresses , we will see that the relationship between antoine and christine , who studies violin at the conservatoire national de musique , is so uneven and complex that her parents and his friends are never quite sure where these two stand with respect to each other . \u201d in part , it was based on the liliane litvin episode . christine , not colette , is behind antoine\u2019s rash decision to join the army ( along with his reading of military servitude and greatness ) , and he writes to her while he\u2019s away , just as truffaut continued to write to litvin in the vain hope that she would fall in love with him at some point . \u201cyou wrote so many , i couldn\u2019t answer them all . i counted once . nineteen letters in one week , \u201d christine says , and later adds , \u201cand they weren\u2019t always nice letters . \u201d also , like colette\u2019s parents before them , the warmhearted darbons become a substitute family for antoine , inviting him for meals and sending him vitamins so that he doesn\u2019t get sick while working nights at the hotel . christine\u2019s father even owns a garage , as liliane litvin\u2019s stepfather and colette\u2019s stepfather both did . ( the fact that christine calls him \u201clucien\u201d might suggest that he\u2019s actually her stepfather , though that\u2019s not stated , and they do have the same last name . initially , darbon was supposed to be colette\u2019s surname , but truffaut appears to have dropped it somewhere between the first treatment and the final screenplay of antoine and colette , and her surname is never revealed . he may have taken it from the actor who played her stepfather , fran\u00e7ois darbon . )\nlove on the run\npicks up antoine and christine on the morning that their no - contest divorce becomes final . neither antoine nor christine is especially upset by this development . christine has learned to live without antoine and antoine is busily involved in a new affair with sabine , a pretty , bright young woman played by dorothee , a new actress who looks a lot like the younger claude jade and like catherine deneuve , who has also figured in mr . truffaut & apos ; s career .\nde baecque , antoine , and serge toubiana . truffaut : a biography . trans . catherine temerson . new york : knopf , 1999 .\ntruffaut , fran\u00e7ois . the adventures of antoine doinel . trans . helen g . scott . new york : simon and schuster , 1971 .\ntruffaut gave revon and de givray a few starting points \u2014 one of these was the title , baisers vol\u00e9s ( stolen kisses ) , which was derived from charles trenet\u2019s song \u201cque reste - t - il de nos amours\u201d \u2014 and after much research , input from the director and subsequent revision , they produced what truffaut described as \u201ca loosely written chronicle in which improvisation would have the final word . \u201d in addition to l\u00e9aud , marie - france pisier and jean - fran\u00e7ois adam would appear briefly as colette and her now - husband albert ; fran\u00e7ois darbon , who played colette\u2019s stepfather in antoine and colette , was also brought back , but in the role of an army officer . ( ren\u00e9 , notably , disappears without a trace . antoine was going to have a new best friend named didier in stolen kisses , but the character and his girlfriend , juliette , were cut shortly before shooting began . ) truffaut assembled the rest of the cast in january 1968 , and he started filming on february 5th .\nthis same technique is used once in the second full - length doinel picture , 1968 ' s stolen kisses . this follow - up makes for a more natural double feature with antoine and colette , as our hero is suffering from the same romantic maladies that plagued him six years prior .\nthe most 400 blows - like of the antoine doinel series . watching antoine fumble through this doomed courtship is both fun and painful . it\u2019s a testament to how great truffaut really was at portraying romances . . . especially failed ones .\nfrancois truffaut is no stranger to romance . one can feel traces throughout his filmography prior to antoine and colette that he is an individual who views the world through a romantic lens , and he reflects on screen his personal emotional experiences , captured with amplification but without losing trace of its honesty . this was certainly the case with the 400 blows , the first of his antoine doinel saga , as its autobiographical nature allowed truffaut\u2019s audience to easily connect with the character , reaching beyond the doorway of antoine\u2019s emotions , enduring through his experiences as if we ourselves are present and triggered .\nantoine is in love with sabine ( doroth\u00e9e ) , but she breaks things off when he ditches her to go see his son at the train station . while he is there , he impulsively joins colette on a train ride where they recall their past and go through his recent autobiographical novel .\nfinally , monsieur lucien ( julien bertheau ) also re - enters antoine ' s life and they visit his mother ' s grave at montmartre .\nantoine and colette is a short starring jean - pierre l\u00e9aud , marie - france pisier , and patrick auffay . this short film is the first segment of five in the multinational feature love at twenty ( 1962 ) , all five segments on the theme of first adult love . after indulging in much delinquency in . . . see full summary \u00bb\nas it is the first no - fault divorce of its kind in france , the press surrounds them . in the crowd is also antoine ' s past love , colette ( marie - france pisier ) , who is now a lawyer and in love with xaiver the librarian ( daniel mesguich ) .\neach series have a rather aimless , yet never frivolous plot . six years later , truffaut directs stolen kisses , where he comments on the cin\u00e9math\u00e8que fran\u00e7aise incident . the may of 1968 marked henry langlois\u2019 , the director of the cin\u00e9math\u00e8que fran\u00e7aise , substitution with pierre barbin\u2013 the change was orchestrated by the government and the ministry of culture . kisses is dedicated to the everlasting film preservation made by langlois . in other words , dedicated to the love of cinema . two years later , bed and board , then love on the run nine years later . and as we witness truffaut\u2019s comedic and meticulous character development , we know that france is changing too . antoine\u2019s mischievous charm leads him to incredibly comical , whimsical , and melancholy circumstances that survey his morality . truffaut makes antoine take different jobs and fail at each one of them . he works at a record company in antoine and colette . he is a detective , shoe salesman , and tv repair man in stolen kisses . antoine is pure magic , even a magician himself on - screen , justified by his first job in bed and board as he transforms white flowers into different colors . he toys with work and love as if it were magic . antoine\u2019s love affairs are ironic , dismal , and childish . after being released from the military , the first thing he does is seek emotional refuge in a prostitute . in stolen kisses , antoine falls in love with the wife of his boss . in bed and board , a japanese women seduces antoine , and antoine has no choice but to cheat on his wife christine .\nsince the beginning , the antoine doinel of truffuat\u2019s emblematic first feature would only be a frozen image of childhood in post - war france . the 400 blows ends with an ambiguous tracking shot of antoine at the beach . it was a detailed sketch of truffaut\u2019s young and damaging years . each antoine doinel film personifies a historic moment , and the 400 blows marks the beginning of a new cinema . in contrast with his french colleagues , who crafted characters rather political and revolutionaries , truffaut focused on designing his political character as a misfit in society . antoine doinel doesn\u2019t move along the societal waves , he moves to his own current . in two decades , antoine never grows up emotionally or mentally , only physically . leaud maintains intact the innocent image of antoine and the symbol of french new wave , no matter its apparent physical change . one may be ambivalent of these series\u2013 if utterly obsessed and seduced by the ambiguity of the 400 ending\u2013 as truffaut easily destroys audience\u2019s imaginative future of older antoine . in the end , the series naturally work because antoine is a representation of luck , charm , and ingenuousness .\nfrom the very beginning , this final chapter in the antoine doinel series feels superfluous . once again , the focus is on antoine ' s love life and he is pretty much the same character he was in the past two films - and any charm he exuded in those films is running out here . the same can be said for the films . the first film in the series - the 400 blows , and the short film follow - up , antoine and colette , are the two best and most interesting films in the series . everything after is a slow descent . stolen kisses is fine love on the run feels even duller . even worse , there is a lot of rehashing -\nremember when this happened ?\n- and then we see a\u2026\neven though this makes it sound as if antoine was merely l\u00e9aud mimicking truffaut , both men acknowledged that antoine became a mixture of the two of them , and that l\u00e9aud\u2019s influence on the character increased over time . in their biography of truffaut , antoine de baecque and serge toubiana cite stolen kisses as the film where the actor really started to have an impact : \u201cincreasingly , the character\u2019s gestures , attitudes , anecdotes , and even memories belong to l\u00e9aud himself . truffaut was fully aware of this and encouraged it , never curbing l\u00e9aud\u2019s inspiration and improvisations . \u201d\n, a noble effort with great acting and beautiful cinematography , but overbearing music and a muddled script .\nthus dishonorably discharged , antoine finds himself at loose ends . after stopping by a brothel , he returns to his old room ( not either of his rooms from antoine and colette , for the record ) and then goes to see the darbon family . christine darbon ( claude jade ) \u2014 the girl behind antoine\u2019s \u201cpersonal reasons\u201d \u2014 is away on a ski trip , but her parents ( daniel ceccaldi , claire duhamel ) welcome him warmly . through christine\u2019s father , antoine becomes a night clerk at a hotel , but he\u2019s soon fired after he unwittingly lets a private detective and a jealous husband enter a woman\u2019s room to obtain proof of adultery . to make up for it , the detective , monsieur henri ( harry - max ) , gets antoine a job at his company , the blady agency . before long , the owner , monsieur blady ( andr\u00e9 falcon ) , becomes frustrated by antoine\u2019s incompetence . \u201ci don\u2019t know what to do with you , \u201d he says after antoine botches a simple assignment . \u201cyou mean well , but\u2026 it\u2019s discouraging . \u201d\nis among the most beautiful things truffaut ever committed to film . there is something bracing about its swiftness alone , and about the way truffaut slices confidently through his material , both expository ( antoine ' s modest living situation , his job , his determination to land colette ) and emotional ( a love of paris , a deep attachment to music , and a burning desire for women , all three traits shared by the director and his alter ego ) . . . he also shifts\nto antoine , fabienne is \u201can apparition\u201d and the real - life embodiment of madame de morsauf from balzac\u2019s the lily of the valley . fabienne herself visits him in his room and sets about to correct his overly romantic view of her and of women in general :\nis a cinematic clip show , a review of all that has come before . we see the pieces of antoine ' s past laid out like a romantic puzzle , complete with memories added by both colette and christine . it has an analogue in the here - and - now puzzle antoine has been trying to put together : he found sabine because of a torn - up photograph . the identity of the mystery girl that he reassembled demanded to be answered . is it fate that has brought all these people together ? has all that has happened truly been to push antoine toward sabine ?\na wonderful bookend to the antoine doinel saga that is not given nearly the amount of credit it deserves .\nafter being discharged from the army , antoine doinel centers a screwball comedy where he applies for different jobs and tries to make sense of his relationships with women .\nis agile and entertaining enough to keep that from mattering too much . the maturing antoine doinel is every bit as charming as he was when young , and there is a looseness and unpredictability to truffaut ' s plotting that keeps us wanting to know what happens next .\nafter the 400 blows , we are given antoine and collette . it ' s a film glowing with youth and growing passion for romance . it ' s exciting to be in love , it ' s boring and just cruel if who you wanted to be with is disinterested af .\n, which was truffaut ' s debut feature . that film has a huge emotional impact on me whenever i watch it , and i know i ' m not the only one who feels this way . the ending is iconic for its ambiguity ; after the film takes us on such an emotional journey , we don ' t even get unequivocal proof in the end that antoine is going to be\nok .\nthe whole purpose of antoine and colette ( and continuing on the antoine character in general ) seems to be truffaut ' s way of telling us ( and perhaps himself ) that we don ' t need to worry , antoine ' s life will continue on in its same haphazard way , and he will always be able to make it through whatever situation he finds himself in . i ' m reminded of a quote from felini that has always stuck with me , about the titular character in his film\nwhen trying to sort out director , actor and character , it should be noted that stolen kisses relies much less on truffaut\u2019s personal history than the earlier entries in the series do . in 1965 , he and jean - louis richard had started writing a sequel to antoine and colette in which antoine begins working as a journalist , but he abandoned it after a few months because he felt that it was too autobiographical . thus , instead of becoming a music critic , as antoine and colette might suggest to viewers with a basic knowledge of truffaut\u2019s life , antoine tends to take whatever job comes his way . his interest in music is all but forgotten , although the fact that christine is a conservatory student may be a subtle nod to the previous film , and he says that he likes music in the memorable \u201coui , monsieur\u201d scene ; at any rate , he no longer has a passion that corresponds to truffaut\u2019s cinephilia . for the most part , he takes his various jobs seriously , but he\u2019s just not very good at any of them \u2014 a far cry from truffaut , a star critic in his early twenties and an award - winning director a few years later .\naimlessly yearning , wandering the streets and waiting for colette to come home , waiting for her to notice him , waiting for his attentions to be rewarded . he makes progress , but also makes a fatal mistake in moving into the apartment building across the street from her family and befriending her parents .\nbut the very girl - next - door christine lacks the comparative mystery and exoticism of fabienne tabard , a woman who\u2019s older , married and cultured enough to speak fluent english , and once he meets her , antoine spurns christine . \u201clove and friendship go hand in hand with admiration . and i don\u2019t admire you ! \u201d he says . \u201ceven when i thought i loved you , i didn\u2019t admire you , and that\u2019s the truth . \u201d christine , who can\u2019t figure out how she offended him , is baffled and irritated .\nif antoine as a character and l\u00e9aud as an actor are somewhat subdued in antoine and colette , stolen kisses goes in the opposite direction . this time around , antoine\u2019s clumsiness in love spreads to his work and his life in general , and l\u00e9aud\u2019s performance reflects this in a very physical manner . the actor had played a high - energy comic role the year before in jerzy skolimowski\u2019s le d\u00e9part , and although he\u2019s comparatively restrained in truffaut\u2019s film , he spends a good bit of his screen time in motion : gesticulating , running , bumping into signs , falling headlong . ( his fall appears to be accidental , as the screenplay only says that antoine \u201csteps aside , \u201d but it fits in perfectly with the rest . ) in 1970 , he told the new york times that he was \u201cmad about buster keaton , \u201d and keaton may well have influenced his work in stolen kisses , much of which wouldn\u2019t be out of place in a silent comedy . however , l\u00e9aud is considerably less deadpan than keaton , like in the scene where antoine is being discharged from the army . as the adjutant chastises him , telling him that he won\u2019t be able to work for the civil service and that his best career option is peddling neckties on the street , \u201cthough god knows you\u2019ll never need one yourself , \u201d antoine alternates between holding back laughter and making sardonic faces .\nantoine doinel returns to find he\u2019s grown up \u2013 and so has the french new wave , practically mainstream as truffaut engineers a lovely , light comedy for his alter - ego .\nmore top - notch detective work . later in this scene , when antoine is spotted by the man he\u2019s tailing , he just puts on a hat and keeps following him .\nsign up for a fanalert and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nant - man and the wasp , starring paul rudd and evangeline lilly , took the top spot at . . .\ncolette was of more interest to me . unlike the typical hollywood female roles of the time ( i\u2019m thinking of marilyn monroe in some like it hot ) , colette ( played by marie - france pisier ) is an independent , educated girl . she weilds all of the power in her friendship with antoine , and whether or not she is purposefully toying with his emotions is unclear , though probable . even though she\u2019s the reason the film does not have a \u201chappy\u201d ending , i can\u2019t help but like her . i also cannot help being reminded of a more recent film with the same themes , 500 days of summer ( 2009 ) , starring joseph gorden - levitt and zooey deschanel . the female lead in that film , summer , fosters a relationship with the male lead while spurning his romantic advances , just as colette does with antoine . independent female aside , the trials of young love are obviously a theme filmmakers return to continually and explore in a myriad of personal ways .\nin francois truffaut\u2019s film bed and board , antoine doinel ( jean - pierre leaud ) attempts to write a book about his tumultuous childhood , seeking the advice of his wife christine darbon ( claude jade ) . all she can say is \u201ca work of art can\u2019t be a settling of old scores ; if it is , then it\u2019s not a work of art . \u201d francois truffaut\u2019s semi - autographical series of antoine doinel , chronicled in five segments , the 400 blows ( 1959 ) , love at twenty : antoine and colette ( 1962 ) , stolen kisses ( 1968 ) , bed and board ( 1970 ) , and love on the run ( 1979 ) , are marvelous works of art . truffaut slowly came to settle old scores through the colorful canvas of leaud\u2019s ingenious features and superb acting ; truffaut\u2019s cinematic alter - ego . the series are downright absorbing , funny , romantic , and historic . truffaut carried out a constant theme and emotion : how a character may cope in a flourishing france , crystallizing an entire movement up to the 80\u2019s . just think of the antoine doinel series as the original and talented version of richard linklater\u2019s boyhood idea .\ntruffaut had first reunited with the young star of the 400 blows , jean - pierre l\u00e9aud\u2019s antoine doinel , in antoine et colette , a short devised for portmanteau movie love at twenty ( and sadly not included here , although it is on the way : for more on that , read on ) . you can feel , though , that the itch hadn\u2019t gone , hence this feature - length sequel , an expansion of the short\u2019s theme of relationships that now takes in the difficulty of getting on in life and in work in a man\u2019s early twenties .\nfirst truffaut gave us\nthe 400 blows .\nthen\nstolen kisses\n. . . and now bed and board\nen este caso se recuperan personajes que no ve\u00edamos desde la segunda entrega , como es el caso de colette , que juega aqu\u00ed un papel preponderante en la trama despu\u00e9s de haber sido completamente olvidada .\ni only found out about the adventures of antoine doinel recently . and it ' s a real thing . it ' s a five part story on fran\u00e7ois truffaut ' s fictional persona .\nthings take a turn for the better when antoine joins a detective agency . though the cases tend to involve mainly following other people around for ludicrous and selfish reasons , it gives antoine a sense of purpose . ironically , it ' s when he got embroiled in an adultery case while working the front desk of a hotel that antoine got the investigator job , and it ' s also adultery that will be both his undoing as a private eye and allow him to succeed as a lover . while undercover in a shoe store in hopes of finding out why everyone hates its owner , antoine is enchanted by the boss ' wife , an elegant older woman played by a radiant delphine seyrig (\n, but criterion recently extracted truffaut ' s segment and released it as a stand - alone piece in their adventures of antoine doinel box set . that ' s how i first came across it , and i still haven ' t seen the rest of\nis the second of five films francois truffaut made about antoine doinel , a semi - autobiographical and perpetually hapless character played by jean pierre leaud . you ' d be hard pressed to find someone who ' s seen all five films and wouldn ' t name\nit ' s hard to say what someone just happening on bed and board randomly would make of it . while the 400 blows [ review ] and stolen kisses can stand on their own independently of the other doinel films , bed and board is nowhere near existing in a vacuum . there is an assumption that you know who antoine is , and though truffaut could have easily made a stand - alone film that relates the newly married experience in much the same way stolen kisses conveyed the travails of dating and early adulthood , he does less to establish antoine and christine as characters separate from what came before . this is a chapter for the initiated only , and is without a doubt lesser for it .\nshe does nothing to discourage his attentions , often joining him at concerts and inviting him into her home . colette\u2019s mother finds the young boy \u201cromantic\u201d ( perhaps because of his long hair ) , and her affable father enjoys the young boy\u2019s company . the only problem is that colette seems , at best , diffident about her would - be suitor , inviting him to drop by without promising him that she will be at home . in one instance he discovers that , despite her commonly expressed insistence that she needs to study , that she has stayed out most the night with friends . another time , she simply fails to show up to a lecture on electronic music she has hinted she might attend , and antoine leaves in frustration .\nl ' amour en fuite ( love on the run ) is presented in flashbacks from the previous four movies as antoine doinel ( jean - pierre l\u00e9aud ) meets up with people from his past . as the fifth and final film in the series , antoine is over 30 years old and meets with his wife , christine ( claude jade ) , to sign the papers for their divorce .\nguy , lauren , jimmy and ty will be on screen until later this year and over the coming months viewers will see their characters involved in nail - biting and life - changing individual storylines .\n, who is quite effective here as the mayor . he is stopping by the precinct to question charges of unfair behavior and examine pope ' s methods . the frank and unscripted manner in which the cops and the crooks interact transcends most similar genre pictures , and unlike\nit ' s in the third antoine doinel film , 1970 ' s bed and board , that francois truffaut ' s series of films becomes a series proper . now there is a set style and tone , the happenings vacillating between romantic drama and whimsical comedy , the loose narrative only reflecting traditional plot structure in an overarching sense . in relating the life of antoine doinel , small moments are equal to the big changes any individual encounters in his or her worldly progress .\nas he walks away , he adds , \u201ci am very happy . \u201d christine tells antoine , \u201cthat man is crazy ! \u201d and though antoine agrees ( \u201cyes , i\u2019m sure he is\u201d ) , he looks far more perturbed than she does . the fact that christine has a stalker is reason enough for concern , of course , but the \u201cdefinitive man\u201d comes across as a more extreme version of antoine himself , or a more assertive version who says what antoine merely thinks and feels . antoine may also be wondering if he is , in fact , a \u201ctemporary person\u201d ; at the very least , his job record would suggest as much . the encounter , brief as it is , casts a foreboding shadow over his future with christine . truffaut must have considered it important , because it was one of the few starting points that he gave revon and de givray , along with the title , the army material and the \u201coui , monsieur\u201d incident .\nbeginning with\nthe 400 blows ,\ndirector francois truffaut made a series of films about the impetuous antoine doinel , in which this is the last . antoine is now 30 , working as a proofreader and getting divorced from his his wife . it being the first\nno - fault\ndivorce in france , a media circus erupts , dredging up antoine ' s past . indecisive about his new love with a store clerk , he impulsively takes off with an old flame .\nantoine\u2019s romantic exploits , meanwhile , lack the autobiographical directness of his doomed infatuation with colette \u2014 that is , truffaut\u2019s doomed infatuation with liliane litvin \u2014 but the director\u2019s busy love life must have provided plenty of material . \u201ci may lack balzac\u2019s genius , but my love life is just as complicated as his , the objects of my affection being either sixteen or forty years old , with a few ambiguous relationships between those 2 ages , \u201d he wrote to his friend robert lachenay in february 1951 , a line reminiscent of antoine\u2019s dilemma with christine and the significantly older fabienne .\n, a surprisingly action - packed remake with colin farrell . go watch the punching and the shooting and don ' t worry about it .\nen esta entrega antoine est\u00e1 completamente perdido en su laberinto sentimental . tiene una relaci\u00f3n con su ( sorpresa ) nuevo\namor\n, sabine , y afronta su divorcio con christine , mientras ambos se debaten sobre si queda algo que salvar de su relaci\u00f3n o no . colette , su\namor\nde la segunda entrega , reaparecer\u00e1 como una abogada colega del jurista\u2026\nthe job is a funny , apt choice , giving truffaut an excuse to fill the film with unusual characters and narrative tangents , while serving to educate antoine in the ways of the world \u2013 specifically , the importance of finding somebody faithful when everybody has their hidden agendas . in fact , antoine already knows her : the lovely , tender - hearted christine darbon ( claude jade ) , a newcomer in the film but already immersed in an on - off relationship with antoine . it\u2019s an interesting choice to give them a history , underlining the sense that antoine exists beyond the parameters of the screen , the continuation of a life witnessed as junctures but in fragments .\n, he works for a japanese businessman and attempts to woo his daughter . they ' re good films , though i don ' t like them as much as antoine and colette , and i think their length has something to do with it . i ' m not sure that truffaut would be able to make a feature out of the plot of this short . it ' s so much a slice of life , a fleeting glimpse into the day - to - day of antoine as a young adult . aside from his ill - fated romance with colette , the film is much more about creating an overall atmosphere than focusing on a gripping plot . since it ' s hard to sustain a the slice - of - life atmosphere over a 90 minute feature , the latter three films in the series don ' t have the same effect as this short . for this reason , perhaps the series as a whole would have been stronger if truffaut had kept the last four films as shorts rather than features . all we really want is a glimpse into antoine ' s life to know that he ' s staying out of trouble ( though that ' s rarely the case with him ) , and that is all\nstolen kisses was francois truffaut\u2019s third exploration of the character antoine doinel , to whom we were introduced when he was a child in the 400 blows and was glimpsed a few years later in a short segment antoine and colette that was part of an omnibus film titled love at 20 . here we see antoine as a young man , as he stumbles into adulthood working a variety of unskilled entry - level jobs , impulsively falling in love and gliding from one scrape with authority into another as he seeks to find his way through the world . the tone of this film is lighter , more overtly a romantic comedy , and seemingly inconsequential in terms of enduring substance and social commentary when compared to the 400 blows . it could have been easily plausible to make this same movie with a lead character of a different name , even if truffaut had still cast jean -

scares , blasts of static and long shadows , yet the film\u2019s at its strongest when the three characters are talking and pondering the nature of what they\u2019re investigating - it\u2019s the stumbling around in the dark and screaming that feels more by - the - numbers . this in itself marks the film out as something slightly unusual , since most found - footage films - see , for a recent example , devil\u2019s due - feature leads so generic and unremarkable that it\u2019s almost a relief when they do stop talking .\neliot goldner \u2019s film refutes the rulebook when it comes to the modern day found footage rulebook , in that every handy - cam film must have gobby teenage characters ( in fact that stereotype is literally punched in the face here ) . the borderlands is not only good because it breaks new ground or because it is scary ( which it genuinely is ) but it is the strength of the characters and acting that enthralls . there are few horrors where you hope there will be inactivity to listen to more of the character\u2019s unashamedly british banter but this is one of them . on top of that it is an excellent horror film too . a film thats influences span as wide as tv\u2019s the league of gentleman and peep show to the annals of hammer horror and h . p . lovecraft .\nthis out -

horror genre in recent years , with ben wheatley \u2019s films , and most recently in fear . did you consciously try to make the film fit this sub - genre ?\nthoroughly enjoyable found footage horror film , with a lot of decent scares . i ' ve seen it 2 times since getting it the other day . the performances were excellent and the scenery and location of the film and how it was shot really impressed me . it ' s like a remake of the blair witch with an actual script and fleshed out plot . the big problem i had with it is the high amount of unanswered questions in the film . even the dvd packaging has a picture on it that leaves me wondering whether it ' s supposed to be a comment on one of the characters in the film . the idea that these mysterious\nwhy the hell did that character do that\nmoments are up to the interpretation of the viewer are not properly earned by the filmakers in my opinion . still it ' s a fairly small criticism on an otherwise great and frightening horror film .\nit ' s important to note , also , that borderlands didn ' t always look this way . once upon a time , it looked like this :\nif you ' re a film enthusiast and enjoy writing , we need you . become a roobla writer , now - urltoken\nelliot : the title , that\u2019s interesting , we didn\u2019t really talk about it until a very erudite journalist at fangoria picked up on a book called house on the borderlands which is a victorian horror novel about a guy finding a diary that contains stories about stuff that happens . it\u2019s very different to our film but it was one of the early inspirations for it and the borderlands title saw its way through to the end . it felt kind of relevant even though it\u2019s not clear immediately why the film is titled that way ; it has a lot of resonance to a number of things . it\u2019s definitely worth checking out , it\u2019s quite an interesting piece which was written in the late 1800s\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\nbefore borderlands , the studio had developed a number of brothers in arms games , some half - life spin - offs , and a number of other titles , but it wasn ' t until borderlands caught fire that the company really staked out its place as a major game developer doing important - - - some might say groundbreaking - - - work .\ni honestly think this is the best british horror film in ten years . it ' s simple , original , thought provoking and truly scary .\nthe found footage film has become colonised and almost completely overworked by the horror genre in recent years to the point that one greets yet another attempt to mine the form here with ennui . the greatest success among these was\nit is far from perfect and there are some flaws in there , but the borderlands is a really good found footage movie as it puts more emphasis on character than scares , at least for the first two thirds . the final act could have done with a bit more refinement and there were a few unanswered questions , but the borderlands is easily one of the better found footage movies produced in recent memory and could rival frankenstein\u2019s army for the best of the year .\nthe film will be introduced by program curator ashish rajadhyaksha , senior fellow at the centre for the study of culture & society , bangalore and co -

conscious hint that t he borderlands is conjuring the spirit of robin hardy\u2018s woodward - starring the wicker man , which also features smalltown conspiracy and heathen heterodoxy . meanwhile , the opening sequence of the borderlands , in which catholic investigator deacon ( gordon kennedy ) , is shown looking into an unexplained incident abroad \u2013 in this case in belem , brazil \u2013 has pointed instead to the structure of another 1973 picture : william friedkin\u2018s the exorcist .\nthis course introduces 20th and 21st century literature and film featuring real and fictional comanches in the comancher\u00eda and u . s . - mexico borderlands . from silent films to hollywood and independent productions , from historical fiction to literary analysis , we will compare texts and their diverse portrayals of comanche identity and intercultural relations . goals of the course include placing the readings and films into historical and cultural contexts , comparing comanche , indigenous mexican , and anglo representation in literature and film , and strengthening critical reading and viewing skills .\nthe borderlands is a game changer . elliot goldner shifts through the gears as action ranges from the utterly hilarious to the devastatingly terrifying . underpinned by an important religious subtext , the borderlands has reinvigorated the found footage sub - genre . fine lead performances from robin hill ( down terrace , kill list ) and gordon kennedy ground proceedings with a gritty realism . the tonal shift is expertly built into the church investigation ; the setting is inherently creepy which lends itself to the deeply haunting and often startling moments of shock . the memorable ending is bold and will send shockwaves through the genre . a must see .\nmuch of this may sound familiar , but the borderlands ' crafty virtue is that it understands that hand - held camerawork and boo scares aren ' t an excuse to neglect plot , dialogue or characters .\ninstead of drawing so much on folklore , old ghost stories or menacing hoodies ( although all these things play a part ) , the strongest element of the borderlands \u2019 identity as a british horror film is its central relationship . deacon and grey\u2019s bickering , boredom and bonding has the easy chemistry of a flat - share comedy in the best possible way ( the head - cam shots are occasionally a little reminsicent of peep show ) , and if we didn\u2019t like the characters so much , their fear in the face of the unknown would be far less affecting . as it is , the borderlands is a tense , atmospheric chiller that will send a shiver down your spine and definitely make you jump .\nsome classics are timeless solely for their quality , but the great gatsby carries remarkable relevancy for today ' s audiences . can baz luhrmann make a film worthy of the great gatsby name ?\nyou have to watch this film to the end to truly appreciate it . the ' found footage ' genre is rightly criticised but sometimes little gems come through . this is one of them . a lot has been made of the ending , but the rest of the film is quite good as well . i don ' t want to say too much regarding the film as several others will have done so before me , but you should perservere with the irritating ' techie ' and the scottish priest . the vatican team leader is an irritation . watch it with an open mind and appreciate the ending . . . . . . . . . .\nthe sort of god would be chthonic . of the earth or underworld , took sacrifices . . . not quite lovecraftian , but the beast in the borderlands reminded of chthonians , which have been added into lovecraft ' s mythos by other authors . the tone of the rest of the movie has very much a traditional lovecraftian worship vibe .\nplano , tx based game developer gearbox has been in the game - making business for a long time . in fact , this past february marked the developer ' s 14th anniversary . but prior to the release of borderlands in 2009 , gearbox flew largely under the radar .\nthe sudden overhaul of the game was a brash gamble that ultimately paid off , with borderlands selling well over 4 million copies since its release . the combination of rpg elements and a very unique art style led to a welcome critical and consumer reaction .\n( 1988 ) you keep thinking . this quasi - lovecraftian ending leaves the film ending on a question mark where you are never sure what is happening or what the agency behind everything is .\nelliot : that\u2019s right , that\u2019s the number one ! i mean i\u2019m sure there are faults in this film but i\u2019m sure there not the usual ones . i wanted to get past that .\nthe works presented in this exhibit were all created between 2011 and 2013 . a seemingly disconnected range of\nemotional states\n, as the artist calls it , has led to the creation of each of these . nonetheless , the viewer is drawn in by recurring patterns and motives , sometimes articulated to varying degrees and translated into multiple moods . bhaduri views her rapid shifting and transitioning between varying media and color themes as exemplary of her current personal response to the complexities of modern life .\nas his comic gray plays against kennedy\u2019s straight man deacon , hill brings an earthy humour here that\u2019s reminiscent of his r\u00f4le in ben wheatley\u2018s down terrace , grounding the borderlands \u2018 weirder narrative byroads in absurdly mundane hilarity . this , combined with the shakicam and the banal ordinariness of the wiltshire village , with its \u201cbetting shop , fish bar , laundry\u201d , and of course pub , lends the film a low authenticity that soon clashes with its more unsettling elements .\na film for the ages may appear an impossible task . just look at gatsby himself : an in - his - prime robert redford coming off his first academy award nomination for\nhe\u2019s just a funny person who\u2019s wandered into a horror film as opposed to it being a comedy film . the situations aren\u2019t funny and the lines aren\u2019t . as my character becomes progressively involved in the events of the story , there aren\u2019t any more jokes . he doesn\u2019t say anything funny after a certain point in the film , i mean he\u2019s genuinely scared and you see the character go from being quite light hearted to being terrified . the progression is hopefully reflected by the audience , from when you can be more laissez fare and then gradually becoming increasingly serious and terrified . this is not pick myself up but the idea is to continuously play it seriously . you play the jokes and horror in the spirit of the character and it\u2019s all the same essentially .\nfound footage movies are nothing new and ones based around religious / paranormal events are even more clich\u00e9 . but the borderlands manages to do something that all the others have failed at doing \u2013 it\u2019s entertaining , tense and incredibly well put together .\nin 2013 america\u2014depending on who you talk to\u2014we\u2019re either living in a continued recession or recovering from the worst economic collapse since the one so close to gatsby \u2019s original release . the various causes to america\u2019s latest recession have created a furthering of the class divide . occupy wall street . a fierce hatred of corporations . anything ostentatious being scaled back to avoid reproach . the american dream has become something modest . it\u2019s closer to just getting by , with many afraid to hope for the lavish lifestyle that seems so far out of reach .\na huge thank you from hmz film to mayhem festival and jennifer , elliot , robin and gordon for taking the time out to engage in such a fascinating interview . you guys will\na film can be horrible , but there ' s a difference between that and it searching for a purpose . if a film can ' t grab my interest or attention in the first 40 minutes , i may give up on it . even if , pretend , the last 50 minutes are brilliant . that ' s not better in my eyes , quality for me means that it ' s well planned even when badly done . this film plays like a brainstorm , akin to some stories that i saw in undergrad .\nthis all came to light when moss expressed his disappointment over the artwork via twitter :\ni ' m a huge gearbox fan so i was really disappointed to see this image inside the borderlands 2 box ,\nhe said , including an image of the box art .\ncritical reception for the borderlands has been predominantly positive and the film holds a rating of 80 % on rotten tomatoes , based on 15 reviews .

[ 9 ]\nfalters when it comes to the pay off . this smacks of not really knowing how to end the film more than anything else . we get the two principal characters following the path of patrick godfrey who has disappeared down under the church , finding a vast labyrinth of tunnels . [ plot spoilers ] this is followed by several minutes of the two characters running / crawling through tunnels by torchlight \u0096 the point where the film starts to travel into more standard found footage territory . finally the characters become trapped in a narrow defile , finding that it is organic matter that starts to close in around them before it would seem ( the film is never very clear ) that they are inside the gullet of a creature \u0096 some giant worm a la\nelliot : i felt quite bad for aiden ( who plays mark in the film ) actually . i think it worked really well for the dynamic of the film , you two had been on set and had been acting together . aiden turns up a little bit later and he\u2019s like the antagonistic . he was doing some really funny improvisation but i had to tell him sorry ! just don\u2019t be funny ( laughs )\nnot exactly a\nlovecraftian\nfilm in the sense of being based on any of lovecraft ' s work or containing references to his creations , though some viewers may find the location and atmosphere suggestive of lovecraft ' s work ( an\neldritch location\nfilm ) ; the addition of cultists and gothic buried secrets push this a little further into lovecraft ' s genre than many such films .\ngreat found footage horror film that feels like a dogme film at times due to it ' s naturalistic setting . the alternate title\nfinal prayer\ni think was better suited to this especially since i saw this at necronomicon conference which celebrates the works of h . p . lovecraft and the incorporation of pre - christian religious rituals and it is as startling as one of his weird stories .\nand this was only possible because the film manages to build well a tense and believable atmosphere and maintain it until the final moment . the beginning is slow , but in the second act we have the first moment of impact involving an act of pure cruelty . really fucked up stuff .\nand why didn ' t gearbox follow through with hibon on directing cut - scenes or working on the borderlands project in some other faculty ? i would love to answer that question , but gearbox has declined to comment on this story .\n6 - this film was very clearly made within the very strict and troubled guidelines of modern found - footage horror , but it ' s effective and entertaining enough to be credited as a superior specimen of the former .\nsoon the characters will abandon the carefully erected structure of their , and our , modern belief systems for something more atavistic and appetitive that lies beneath , dormant yet undeniable . the borderlands might dramatise the precarious footing of catholicism \u2013 and science \u2013 or the ultimate failure of colonialism , or the return of the repressed , but mostly it takes the viewer to a deep dark place of nightmares , where reason is devoured by the primordial shadows .\ngoldner is plainly working in the shadow of ben wheatley , the young director who has revitalized the british horror scene in recent years , mixing nightmarish shocks with visceral violence and savage humor in films such as kill list and sightseers . he even borrows wheatley\u2019s regular editor and occasional actor , robin hill , to play a leading role here . but the borderlands is a much more conventional film than any of wheatley\u2019s work to date , lacking their stylistic brio , visual sorcery and creeping menace .\nthe borderlands\n, also known as\nfinal prayer\n, has one of the most surprising and horrifying endings i ' ve ever seen in a horror movie . even though it has been spoiled to me by a goddamn list on a site , the final scene is still shocking .\nthere is understandable fatigue with the found - footage genre , conjuring memories of countless films where a camera shakes in the dark whilst someone screams for sixty minutes . thankfully [ rec ] , lake mungo and the bay have shown that done well the medium can be effective and , whilst it may not be ground breaking , the borderlands is a welcome entry to the genre .\nhaving lived for many years , only a few miles from where this was filmed , i fully appreciate the atmosphere and sense of isolation this film manages to evoke . do not be put off by the \u2018found footage\u2019 nature of the film , it really works as there is still a lot of fixed footage as well . the cast is excellent and again shows how well comedy actors can take on serious roles . this will not suit anyone of a sensitive disposition but if you enjoy a solid , psychological horror film , you should give it a try . finally , as many other reviewers have said , make sure you watch it all the way through to the climactic ending .\nit ' s unclear whether gearbox wanted to credit timegate for their hard work or in order to deflect criticism over the game ' s shoddy release . that may sound uncharitable , but no similar credit was given to ben hibon for codehunters for the much more successful borderlands .\nwith last year ' s release of borderlands 2 , gearbox firmly cemented its place on top of the gaming world . the critically acclaimed sequel was better than the original in almost every way , offering up a more colorful , better written game full of diverse environments and enemies and even more guns .\njennifer : it was the brief really . the brief was bought to elliot that it should be a found footage film that involved a country church and there were a few more details beyond that . truth be told , we got to the edit and some of the notes from the executives were \u2018can you make it any less found footage ? \u2019 obviously trends change . over the course year and a half it takes to make a film , what was hot when you started isn\u2019t necessarily hot when you finish\nthe film does sadly turn into your average found footage affair as it reaches the movie\u2019s climax and they can only use their headcams , which is disappointing as all the build up to it is great and it never relied on cheap tricks to unease its audience . director elliot goldner chooses his angles wisely and he only resorts to the genres tropes every now and again to produce a couple of scares . you could never say that the borderlands is scary , but it can at times be very unnerving and you\u2019re never quite sure where the movie is heading .\nelliot goldner\u2019s debut as writer / director uses a lot of the familiar found - footage tropes , but where the borderlands succeeds is in understanding that handheld camerawork , \u201cwhat - was - that ? \u201d boo scares and panicked off - screen voices aren\u2019t an excuse to neglect the plot , dialogue or characters .\nconstructed as found footage ( or is it ? ) , this film recalls the likes of the blair witch project and , especially , the last exorcism . what makes this much better than the latter ( though not the former ) , is the relationship between the two lead characters and the strength of the performances , and an especially claustrophobic and genuinely unsettling final act that is up there with the likes of the descent for squirm inducing nastiness . really very good indeed ,\nwe didn ' t want to be considered a poor man ' s rage ,\nsaid gearbox chief creative officer brian martel at gdc 2010 in his talk borderlands & the 11th hour art style change ( don ' t try this at home . )\nmuch of its content may be common to the genre but the borderlands does boast occasional moments of originality , including a lovecraftian conclusion that will be unbearable for those troubled by the claustrophobic caves found in the descent . the movie is built on a solid story and entertaining characters so when a dark tunnel is discovered beneath the church even a found - footage cynic may be tempted to explore below .\nthe premise is a familiar one , but the borderlands\u2019 setting and tone is refreshingly different . for one thing , the gloomy , drizzly british town actually feels like a real british town ; father clerrick\u2019s congregation is dwindling out of existence , the pub\u2019s low - lit and unfriendly , and a gang of hooded youths hang around the local bus stop , drinking and muttering .\nit is also tempting to read the claustrophobic final chase sequence as a sly homage to the blair witch project , but that may be crediting the film - makers with too much knowing subtext . after all , what kind of idiot ventures into demonically possessed tunnels in the dead of night ? are they insane ? haven\u2019t they seen any horror movies ? damningly , even this chilling climax misses the target , never delivering the nerve - shredding adrenaline rush required by genre rules . neither as scary , as original or as funny as it needs to be , the borderlands is a cultish curiosity for indulgent hardcore fans only .\njennifer : i think so too , despite the fact it was in the original brief , there was a technical plus a financial reason to do it in that format . from a storytelling and creative reasoning , found footage makes sense in context of the story , in many ways is about judging the veracity of what you see and whether or not the image is truth . if you really want to get university cinematic film thesis on it , it\u2019s what the characters are doing : judging whether or not they can believe their eyes and that\u2019s a theme throughout the film\nvery slow , dull and boring . . . . . could have been a very good spooky film but instead it was just 2 men in some house that did nothing but talk talk talk . . . then a 3rd chap joined in and ( yes you guessed it ) . . . talk talk talk ! . . . . . lacked so much in excitement , i thought i ' d persevere and let the film run to the end ( even though i was nodding off ) then , low and behold . . . . it started to pick up . . . . . . . . . about 5mins . before the end of the film . definitely a no no from me and then let ' s not forget the\nshaky camera job\nand torches blinding your eyes while you try to watch the film . . . . . . very disappointing . . . . . save your money ! ! ! ! !\nthe recent glut of found - footage horror has made it easy to be snobby about the sub - genre , but there\u2019s never been anything inherently wrong with it , as independent british horror the borderlands proves . by combining the wobbly - cam technique with a strong script and excellent central performances , this is a chilling reminder of how good found footage can be .\nthe end of the world is just the beginning in geoff murphy\u2019s the quiet earth from 1985 . urltoken 1 week ago\nat ut , he serves on the advisory council of the native american and indigenous studies program . he also serves on the editorial board of cinema journal , the official journal of the society for cinema and media studies . tahmahkera consults on film projects , curates indigenous film series , and writes curriculum guides ( e . g . , ladonna harris : indian 101 ) for vision maker media and pbs . he also has delivered invited talks , such as the 2017 annual shaw lecture in american studies at dickinson college , and recently completed a three - year term on the community advisory board of klru , the austin - based affiliate of pbs .\ngordon : what\u2019s quite positive is that everyone starts by saying \u2018i know this is another found footage but\u2026\u2019 and i think the style is becoming its own separate genre . i think for people to complain about that now is redundant . it\u2019s a style of film like you might make a black and white or in a documentary format , found footage is just another style / genre or whatever you want to call it . there is a real reluctance to like that style at the moment because there have been a few poor ones since paranormal activity . so the reviewers are saying this is found footage but it\u2019s ok don\u2019t worry ! as with any film : the beginning , middle and the end of it depend on you being interested enough in the characters that you won\u2019t get bored no matter what the journey is . in this film , most people genuinely care . it wouldn\u2019t matter if you made it in swahili , it\u2019s been interesting that there\u2019s been a knock back on found footage . cloverfield has been and gone , that was the action found footage film which worked .\nthe above video isn ' t a trailer for borderlands , but no one would hold it against you if you thought it was . after all , the art style is remarkably similar - - - disconcertingly similar , one might say - - - and even the silent plot appears to share some similar elements with gearbox ' s first - person shooter .\nto be absolutely clear ,\nhibon told gather your party ,\ni have never created or designed anything for gearbox or borderlands . gearbox saw my work and decided to reproduce it \u2013 make it their own \u2013 without my help or my consent .\nwhatever happened behind the scenes during the development of aliens : colonial marines or during the transition from a\npoor man ' s rage\nin the 11th hour borderlands art - style overhaul to a rich man ' s codehunters , gearbox has set itself up both as an accomplished and obviously talented developer , and as a studio apparently willing to push the boundaries of acceptable ethical use of other peoples ' creative property .\ni thought the ending had something to do with\nthe belly of the beast\nquote / verse from the bible .\ngoldner\u2019s own faked recordings are full of half truths half - glimpsed , which will amply repay a rewatch without ever giving away the whole magic trick . much of the film\u2019s insidious impact derives from his studied refusal to connect all the dots , so that by the end we , no less than the priests , become lost in the circling labyrinth , or trapped in the holes , of this worm - that - turns story .\nso the borderlands isn ' t going to change too many people ' s minds but it is going to satisfy those of us already fans of the format . while not being a particularly revolutionary attempt , what it lacks in originality it earns back points in chills , characters , a good set - up and a hugely tense finale .\nbeyond that , jay - z has long been known to blend musical styles and also has a proven track record of using films as inspiration for compelling creativity . his album american gangster ( brought on by the 2008 film of the same name ) may have eclipsed its cinematic predecessor in relevancy , even if you agreed with jay\u2019s high regard for the film\u2019s quality ( i do ) . knowing what can happen when jay gets energized adds a whole new level of possibility to the picture , especially when you think of pairing him with a director known for producing impeccable soundtracks .\nmeanwhile deacon\u2019s attempts to debunk a video as fraudulent also serves to deconstruct the naturalistic fictions of the very found footage we\u2019re watching . deacon\u2019s arguments with grey and mark introduce a dialectic of faith and fakery that is key to our reception of the borderlands itself , as scientific rationalism must compete with both manipulative chicanery and the ineffably , monstrously divine \u2013 and superstitions , once dismissed , have a habit of biting back .\nthe borderlands succeeds in giving logical reasoning as to why there are cameras on all the time as both the house and the church are rigged big brother style and all the team members wear headcams to record first person perspectives . you could argue the case of \u2018who has edited this together\u2019 , but in a medium that has produced lazily put together farces , it\u2019s commendable that they at least tried and succeeded . the camera set - up creates a very tense atmosphere and are much more preferable to the headcams which produce the annoying shaky shots we\u2019ve become accustom to with this genre .\ntim bowman here from west texas a & m university . the following is a \u201ccall for book reviews\u201d that i write in my capacity as book review editor for the west texas historical review . our journal is published annually , so any completed reviews of the following titles will be published in next year\u2019s edition of the journal . scholars of the u . s . west , texas , native americans and the u . s . - mexico borderlands should find some of these appealing .\nthis is a creepy feature that chills your spine solid but the characters are what stick in the mind . deacon is likable but sympathetic , with an interesting back story and thankful moral fibre . gray is blunt in how he speaks occasionally but a real stand - up guy that might remind a few viewers of one of their own mates whilst the avid religious member of the group , priest mark ( aidan mcardle ) is reliably no nonsense and surprisingly cynical . the dialogue veers from hilarious to actually quite serious and goldner\u2019s grasp of the proceedings is pretty impressive . perhaps some will be left irritated by the film\u2019s lack of answers but more will be left intrigued by what goldner does next and if we might ever see a return to the world of the borderlands , which would be welcome on this evidence .\njennifer : it\u2019s worth noting too , that for a short time the film was actually called \u2018the devil lies beneath\u2019 which was a bit more of a commercial title , maybe a bit more on the nose but ultimately we went for the more artistic version which was great . we\u2019re always happy to go with something subtler and not quite so in your face .\nit really is . a lot of that is the sound design . martin pavey , who is ben wheatley\u2019s sound designer , did it all , he\u2019s an incredible artist . he added a lot of life to the church , with creaking rafters , and wind , adding things to make it a proper character in the film .\n\u201cthe housemaid\u201d is an elegantly eerie thriller with the grand gothic style of \u201cdark shadows\u201d before barnabas collins became the star of the show .\nmore importantly , those who saw the film were less than ecstatic . it\u2019s metascore ( via metacritic . com ) comes in at 43 , implying mixed reviews ( but only three points away from being \u201cgenerally unfavorable\u201d ) . the great gatsby \u2019s tomatometer is a woeful 34 percent , and none of the \u201ctop critics\u201d give it a positive review .\nthe beginning of this film is a little bit meandering , but after about twenty minutes the plot starts to move forward at a speedy pace , and it ' s not particularly unique , but it ' s executed very well . and it also has one of the scariest third acts in the found footage genre . the only people this will really appeal to are big fans of the found footage genre , but it ' s a worthwhile watch .\nfollowing the priest\u2019s death , deacon and gray find themselves ostracized by townspeople at the local pub . mark terminates the investigation with the vatican\u2019s approval .\nit ' s always satisfying when a new found footage film is a critical success considering all the shite thrown at the sub -

( 2010 ) , which saw the upwardly mobile lala navigate a workplace love triangle , this latest adaptation of author li ke\u2019s bestselling series goes through the same motions with a new writer - director , andrew chien , and an all - new cast .\njoon lee , the chief of fic ' s original production in mainland china , said :\nwe are particularly grateful to work with ncm to both co - produce and distribute ' go lala go 2 . ' this collaboration is definitely a good foundation for both parties to engage a step further in the chinese movie business .\ngo lala go ! begins with scenes of job hunting . when asked why she left her previous job , du lala answers that she is searching for her dream job . the image , however , cuts to her previous boss attempting to play footsie with her during a business meeting . like tess , lala is forced to find a job in order to avoid sexual harassment . lala successfully enters a global fortune 500 company called db , where over the course of six years she works her way up to hr manager for the company . in the process , she also falls in love with the sales director , wang wei , but breaks up with him partially out of jealousy ( wang had a previous relationship with rose , lala\u2019s boss ) and partially to focus on her career . at the end of the film , lala visits thailand , where she is reunited with wang wei .\npay - tv group , fox international channels is to invest in and co - produce mainland chinese movie \u201cgo lala go 2 , \u201d which will get a theatrical release in december . the picture has been developed at chinese production house new classics media . the romantic drama movie is based on a well - known novel that covers the different stages of the [ \u2026 ]\ngo lala go ! disregards issues of class and gender , rejects quick promotions and questions fairytale endings . in fact , there is so little conflict or romantic escapism in the film , that it is not terribly compelling . the film is directed by chinese star xu jinglei , who also plays the lead character . unlike nichols , xu chooses to limit the female conflict in the film and play down the rivalry between lala and rose . wang wei and rose break up amicably long before lala and wang wei begin a relationship . when there are issues at work , rose tends to call in sick or resign , thereby removing herself from competition . rose is gruff and intense with lala , but she behaves similarly with both her male bosses and with wang wei . rose , receiving the promotion she fought for , says , \u201ci used to care so much about promotions . i thought only promotions could prove my value . the title\u2019s different . so what . i\u2019m not happy at all . \u201d interestingly , the lack of rivalry means that go lala go ! has little dramatic tension . however , xu appears to be making a subtle commentary on the meaning of success . rose , as the \u201ckatherine parker\u201d hard - nosed businesswoman has , after reaching the pinnacle of success , discovered that it is not fulfilling . thus go lala go ! , while lacking the entertainment value of sensationalistic cinderella tales like working girl , shows pragmatic and adult skepticism about the american / chinese dream .\nas someone who frequents spa resorts , i absolutely loved ni ' lala spa . it was comfortable and . . .\nhowever , newer chinese narratives like go lala go ! have taken the foundational ideology of the american dream ( upward mobility , materialism , universal accessibility ) and adapted them to chinese society . from the popularity of du lala among audiences , it would seem the reworked american dream is now widely yearned for and accepted . indeed , with china\u2019s burgeoning economy and vastly expanding middle class , the atmosphere of opportunity and potential in many ways mirrors the confidence of the american 1980s . many chinese television series now depict scenes of upward mobility and financial success , such as the television version of du lala and the shanghai tv show , dwelling narrowness ( 2009 ) .\ngo lala go ! is an adaptation of du lala\u2019s promotion , an immensely popular series of novels written by female writer li ke , a former employee of ibm . the first novel quickly sold over half a million copies and inspired various sequels and media adaptations . the book and films relate the meteoric rise of du lala , a hard - working young woman who manages to ascend from secretary to hr manager in the narrative\u2019s fictional fortune 500 company , db . like working girl , du lala\u2019s promotion largely ignores issues of gender . however , the story also rejects class struggle , strictly focusing on issues of globalization , the attainment of wealth , and the question of balancing both career and romance . also unlike working girl , the film slightly questions the value and meaning of job success .\nbased on what i\u2019ve been reading regarding this film , \u201cgo lala go 2\u201d centers on du lala ( ariel lin ) , a career woman in her 30\u2019s who is set on finding love and getting married to the perfect man . we have heard of this kind of plot so many times already especially that greater china actually calls unmarried career women in their 30\u2019s as left - over women . such a harsh and anti - feminist term if you ask me but that\u2019s how it is in their culture so i won\u2019t dwell on that anymore .\n\u201cgo lala go 2\u201d will be released in china , singapore , north america , australia and new zealand on dec . 4 , hong kong and macau on dec . 10 , and taiwan on december 11 this year . it will later be exclusively screened on fic\u2019s chinese movies channel , scm ( star chinese movies ) linear , vod and online catch - up service ( scm play ) in asia pacific , as well as north america .\nmoreover , go lala go ! takes a different approach to romantic love . whereas working girl posits that love and business can be compartmentalized and attained concurrently , lala has to give up wang wei to keep her career . after their one - night - stand in thailand , she ends the relationship because of the company\u2019s policy of no dating . she tells her brother and confidante , \u201ci would rather focus on my career . \u201d however , chemistry beckons and lala and wang wei begin a secret office romance . the film makes it clear that they are still immaculate professionals at work . but when lala is informed of wang wei\u2019s impending termination , she chooses to protect company information and does not notify him before the official termination date . that , added to her misguided jealousy of rose , leads to their break up . although the film ends with lala finding wang wei in thailand , it does not resolve the question of whether she can find a balance between work and love .\nas someone who frequents spa resorts , i absolutely loved ni ' lala spa . it was comfortable and relaxing - exactly what a spa should entail . however , what is normally the most important for me whenever i go on vacation is the place ' s customer care , and i . . .\ni stayed at fiesta resort for 4 days and saw the ni ' lala spa business card with the room key so decided to give it a try . i ended up going to ni ' lala spa three times . i did the wave massage , facial and foot . . .\nbeijing\u2014chinese audiences generally don\u2019t go wild for movie musicals , tending to be put off by scenes in which actors burst into song and dance for no apparent reason .\n\u201cthis collaboration is definitely a good foundation for both parties to engage a step further in the chinese movie business , \u201d said joon lee , evp of north asia and head of original production mainland china at fic . \u201cwe believe that \u2018go lala go 2\u2019 will help build a more consistent and closer partnership between fic and ncm , and lead the charge in pushing forward this wave of chinese content to reach more audiences , \u201d said cao huayi , chairman of ncm .\nxu jinglei ' s fourth self - directed movie go lala go ! will be released on april 15 , a day before her birthday . but the talented director / actress doesn ' t get a break . not only is she busy promoting for the film , plans for a sequel are being finalized as well . it surely sounds like the production team is getting ahead of themselves but the quality of the trailer suggest that they might have a good reason to .\nlala\u2019s salary and material possessions also mark her upward progress . the film is organized into chapters by du lala\u2019s promotions . each time she receives a promotion , we see lala removing her shoes at the entrance of the company . first , she changes from sneakers to flats . the screen flashes to a text animation , revealing her position and salary - - she begins as a secretary earning a few thousand rmb per month . then , she switches to heels , the text on the screen revealing both a higher position and - - more importantly - - a higher salary . it is important to note that , like tess , lala\u2019s physical transformation also demonstrates her upward progression . however , lala\u2019s clothing marks material status , not class status . brands and shiny jewelry are presented as indicative of earnings - - the more lala earns , the more she can buy . and not only is lala exchanging cheaper clothes for increasingly expensive clothes , but like her position in db , her heels also grow higher and higher .\nother than the names of the two protagonists and the name of the company , the sequel \u675c\u62c9\u62c9\u8ffd\u5a5a\u8a18 ( go lala go 2 ) ( blu - ray release 2016 - 3 - 3 ) has absolutely no continuity from the previous movie . the entire cast is replaced and their personalities are different , the company no longer looks like a traditional office building as before . the new cast is far more good looking , so i cannot say having no continuity is completely bad here .\nwe left a the visit to ni ' lala spa for our last day in saipan . since we had a very late flight we . . .\nxu jinglei announced the major plots and actors of her upcoming film qin mi di ren ( intimate enemies ) at a press conference in beijing on march 28 , 2011 . intimate enemies is xu ' s fifth directorial work , and she will also take on the leading role . set in the finance world , xu jinglei will costar with actor - singer stanley huang again after their successful cooperation in last year ' s go lala go ! . xu had huang in mind as she was thinking of possible male leads for intimate enemies , as she enjoyed acting alongside him and credited the box office success to his involvement and their collaboration . an updated version of go lala go ! , intimate enemies will be more dramatic and complicated , promises xu , who is also in charge on the film ' s story , she invited several high - ranking bank managers to help her develop the script . the film will begin production on april 27 in hong kong and is aiming for a new year release .\nthere hasn\u2019t a single misstep so far with rom - com c - movie go lala go 2 , a movie sequel that totally eclipses the hype of the original thanks to the addition of three of taiwan\u2019s top acting talent . ariel lin takes over the role of office girl lala , with vic zhou as her stalwart photographer boyfriend and bolin chen as the sexy dangerous new guy in town . the set up is basically my catnip \u2013 it finally pairs ariel and zai zai as an onscreen couple fourteen years after she starred in his mv back in 2001 , and it refreshes ariel and bolin\u2019s pairing by turning the character tables and letting him be the aggressive one .\nmartyn ' s voids is reflective of an artist who has survived a life - changing trauma and , in doing so , visited the very darkest places a mind can go .\nhe gets the johns , who are usually stigmatized , to unload on camera .\nmany people go to brothels - - and they ' re not the kind that rape young girls or are horrible people . the only huge injustice is it doesn ' t work both ways , [ except ] in thailand . young men in the subcontinent want to brag , be manly . . . either they do some gay stuff or go to brothels . as a young man in bangladesh you can go nowhere , the house is full of family ; the park is full of policeman . you can only have sex when you ' re married . they go in and the conquest costs 50 takas . [ u . s . 60 cents ]\ngo lala go 2 has that driven almost obsessed eagerness to be professionally successful at a high profile or high end job , believed to bring satisfaction but that type of satisfaction is like coffee , addictive at first , creating a vibe of can do it all , want to do it all , achieve it all , need it all but ultimately comes the realization that triumph like coffee can be bittersweet in the long run and that love well . . . love is love and what is life without love ? an ocean of emptiness .\nindeed , xu peiqing , in her article on du lala , argues that the narrative makes its characters \u201cprisoners of development . \u201d ( xu , peiqing . \u201ctechnical age and bureaucratic society - - to experience modern life from du lala ' s promotion . \u201d journal of ningbo radio and tv university ( 2010 ) . as lala rises higher and higher in db , perhaps she will eventually echo rose\u2019s disillusionment with the chinese / american dream : \u201cthe title\u2019s different . so what . i\u2019m not happy at all .\nworking girl and go lala go ! display similar narrative and structural elements - - the spunky upwardly mobile female \u201cworking girl , \u201d the non - threatening male co - worker / romantic interest , the hostile female boss . they are also both similarly disinterested by the questions and complications of female empowerment . however , the two films have disparate views in terms of the meaning of success . whereas working girl portrays class struggle , it does not question the underlying issue of the american dream - - i . e . , are there limitations and problems within the dream itself ? the chinese dream portrayed in lala ! , while disproportionately shallow and materialistic , suggests that the chinese dream is not as unrelentingly optimistic . there are confines to upward mobility .\nin a twist that should delight this chick flick\u2019s target audiences , lala soon finds new sparks in her professional and private lives : after she\u2019s given a precious chance to impress in her supervisor\u2019s sudden enforced absence , lala is also seriously courted by the wealthy bachelor ( chen bo - lin ) who\u2019s negotiating to join her company as a major business partner .\n\u675c\u62c9\u62c9\u5347\u8077\u8a18 ( go lala go ! ) ( blu - ray release 2011 - 5 - 26 ) is adapted from a popular chinese novel after being adapted for a tv series . the first half of the movie focuses on a woman moving up in her career , then it shifts to romance . at the beginning of the movie it states that if the company finds out two staff having a romantic relationship , one of them needs to be fired as per company policy . the protagonist happens to take a career path in human resources , and she falls for her boss . guess what happens .\nperhaps this could be because success in go lala go ! is measured strictly by material possessions . helen wang , in a recent forbes blog entry , notes , \u201c [ this ] is the picture in most chinese people\u2019s minds of \u201cthe american dream\u201d - - owning a big house , driving a nice car , and having a comfortable life . the chinese middle class wants it all\u201d ( wang , helen . \u201cwhat is the chinese dream ? \u201d forbes 10 dec 2010 . 24 march 2011 ) . indeed , money plays a central role in denoting success in lala ! . on her first day of work , the head secretary tells lala , \u201cby the way , this company has really different personnel levels . people below manager are small potatoes . that means they\u2019re poor , making less than 4 , 000 . the managers are middle class ; they have their own cars , and an annual salary of over 200 , 000 . directors are upper class . their annual salaries are over 500 , 000 . the older ones take their vacations abroad\u2026the ceo makes more than a million a year . typical upper crust . \u201d\na boss of a toy corporation , chenggong li , tries to head back to chan sar to celebrate the chinese new year with his family . however , plans don ' t go as smoothly after he crosses paths with a stranger , geng niu .\nin many ways , the \u201camerican dream\u201d is also an adaptation of the cinderella story . both go lala go ! and working girl feature the basic cinderella narrative . there is a lower class cinderella / plucky \u201cworking girl\u201d ( du lala / tess mcgill ) , a prince charming / male love interest / male boss ( wang wei / jack turner ) , and an evil step - sister / sinister female boss / romantic rival ( rose / katherine parker ) . the evil female character is rejected by prince charming , who helps raise the \u201cworking girl\u201d from obscure poverty to a life of unimaginable riches . however , as opposed to cinderella\u2019s passivity and reliance on sheer luck , the american dream demands a puritan work ethic and dogged tenacity . in both films the female protagonists must persevere to achieve both job and personal happiness . yet there are distinctions between the chinese and american processes - - the films differ greatly in their approaches to female conflict , female empowerment , and class struggle .\nthey even go way back as ariel lin was zai zai\u2019s leading lady in his \u201cmake a wish\u201d music video . this honestly surprised me because i remember always watching and singing to this song when i was a kid but i never realized that it was ariel until recently .\nwe are the only spa in saipan that promotes health and wellness through traditional massage and yoga . adopting elements and spa techniques from various cultures , we use these as the foundation for our wellness treatments . ni ' lala spa saipan is . . .\nwe left a the visit to ni ' lala spa for our last day in saipan . since we had a very late flight we indulged ourselves before going to the airport with a couple package . the advantage of it was that we could pick the treatments we . . .\nultimately , the chinese dream may be more complicated because it is tied to the process of globalization . globalization - - literally \u201cwalk to meet the world\u201d in chinese - - is a marker of both success and of widening economic gaps in chinese society . lala ! is a text of globalization . db is a foreign company . wang wei speaks fluent american - accented english ; rose speaks fluent british - accented english and peppers her chinese with english phrases . even lala\u2019s bosses , two english - speaking caucasian foreigners , speak excellent mandarin chinese . meanwhile , beijinger du lala clearly speaks some english , but it is limited enough for her to be the \u201ceveryman\u201d in whom chinese society can see itself reflected , a nation \u201cwalking to meet the world . \u201d thus du lala\u2019s tale is not just a story of individual success , but also that of china\u2019s global success . however , since the 1970\u2019s , globalization has made many of china\u2019s rich richer and many of the poor poorer - - the harsh urban / rural divide is the country\u2019s main social concern today . thus the less optimistic chinese dream may be questioning the \u201csuccess for all\u201d tenant of the american dream .\ni ' m a regular visitor to ni ' lala spa in fiesta resort . the spa rooms are very comfortable and hygienic , the massage therapists are very welcoming and friendly . the price is a little high , but the service and quality is great - - every minute is relaxing . i really . . .\nbolin chen\u2019s chen feng is a ceo of a big company who\u2019s in love with ariel\u2019s lala ( can i be her please ?

( this song went on to win an oscar for its writer / singer , carly simon ) the lyrics beckon for \u201cthe new jerusalem , \u201d telling us that it is \u201cfor the taking\u201d and that the sky is \u201cthe color of blue you\u2019ve never even seen in the eye of your lover\n. here , with the opening song , the film clearly lays out tess\u2019 priorities : she must actively pursue success , and romantic love is secondary to her almost religious devotion to the attainment of success ( \u201cthe new jerusalem\u201d ) .\nhowever , the film\u2019s message of female empowerment is undermined by several factors . first , there is no female solidarity in working girl . tess\u2019 number one obstacle is her two - faced female boss , katherine , who steals tess\u2019 idea and constantly ridicules tess\u2019 style choices and class background . additionally , mike nichols , the male director , frequently objectifies tess / the actress melanie griffith . for no explicable reason in terms of narrative , tess / griffith appears in underwear in many scenes - - rushing to clean katherine\u2019s home towards the end of the film , tess vacuums topless , in heels . even the title of the film - - \u201c working girl \u201d - - brings to mind a prostitute , undermining the powerful message of tess\u2019 strategic rise by sexualizing and debasing her . the film also makes tess\u2019 success contingent on her physical appearance . tess cuts her hair , borrows katherine\u2019s clothes , and tells her friend , \u201cif you want to be taken seriously , you need serious hair . \u201d finally , as emmett winn notes in his article on working girl , jack and the male ceo of trask enterprises must validate tess\u2019 final success - - thus patriarchal paternal support further undercuts the film\u2019s tenuous message of female empowerment ( winn , emmett . \u201cmoralizing upward mobility : investigating the myth of class mobility in working girl . \u201d southern communication journal 66 . 1 ( 2000 ) : 40 - 51 ) .\ncertainly , female empowerment is not the focus of working girl - - it is class . tess takes diction lessons to hide her working class accent and borrows katherine\u2019s expensive clothes to fit in at business parties . her physical makeover , from over - teased hair and trendy make - up to expensive wall street suits and subdued haircuts , is necessary for her corporate success . as winn notes , she needs the \u201cpedigree\n. in addition , the film compares tess and her working - class friend cynthia to further establish the differences between the classes . tess has a clear elocution - trained accent ; her best friend speaks loudly and nasally . tess adapts to the subtle and conservative styles of the upper crust ; cynthia wears flamboyant and trendy clothing . most damning , tess dreams of \u201cmore\n, cynthia attempts to persuade tess to settle for \u201cless\u201d ( i . e . , tess\u2019 cheating boyfriend and a life as a beleaguered secretary ) . thus , through cynthia\u2019s narrow hopes and dreams , the film establishes the limitations of the lower classes .\nhence , working girl reveals a few intriguing views on the american dream . first , the ends justify the means . although tess combats social and gender prejudices through deception , she is rewarded for \u201cthinking outside the box\n. secondly , class is a more important obstacle than gender in this process - - or at the very least , gender is largely sidelined in the film . tess spends more time battling her class background and katherine than dealing with chauvinist male co - workers . thus , the us version of the american dream narrative emphasizes ruthless business practices and class struggle .\nin the early ' 90s , china criticized the limitations of the american dream . the successful novel / tv series a beijinger in new york ( 1991 ) portrayed the american dream as inaccessible and morally contaminating , as the wangs , an immigrant family from beijing , lose themselves both financially and ethically . the wangs move to new york in the hopes of upward mobility , but instead work for sweat shops , clean dishes in chinese restaurants , get divorced , sleep with prostitutes , and lose their daughter to drugs and an unsavory motorcycle - riding american boyfriend . geremie barm\u00e9 says , \u201cto an extent , the series was a reprisal of the boxer mentality , but one bereft of any belief system . it also represented , perhaps , the coming of age of chinese narcissism and bespoke a desire for revenge for all the real and perceived slights of the past century\u201d ( barm\u00e9 , geremie . in the red : on contemporary chinese culture . new york : columbia university press ( 1999 ) : 255 ) . however one looks at it , beijinger revealed chinese distrust of the american dream .\nkasser and ryan question the american dream , arguing that such materialism does not help individuals reach true self - actualization , and in fact has many negative repercussions .

in - law ) fixation . it is against its peers that deswa comes up as a pleasant surprise . the film has its heart at the right place and the director manages to tell the story of the fall of bihar in an effective way . the helplessness of the bihari youth , their trials and tribulations , the frustration of not being able to secure a livelihood in their own homeland ; the compulsion to get insulted , beaten up and even killed when they try to earn their daily bread in other states is all so vividly captured . the desperation which drove thousands of youth towards crime and the rampant hooliganism and gradual rot in the society has been portrayed very honestly . for someone like me , who was unfortunate enough to grow up in the lost years of the lalu - rabri\u2019s jungle raj , the film has many moments where one can\u2019t help but get choked up . deswa effortlessly manages to touch all the right chords\u2026\ni thought of getting into production because i want to bring sensibility and sensitivity in bhojpuri films . i have invested all my savings in\ndeswa\n. it ' s a revolutionary film . there is no violence or nudity , which is typically related to bhojpuri films , and when you make something which is not a part of the norm , not many people stand by you . but i believed in this film from day one and have done everything , including an item song , to promote the movie . the movie has been received very well in international film festivals .\ncoming to the drawbacks , the film has very few . the acting from the supporting cast could have been more polished . background score is a little loud at places and some dialogues sound clich\u00e9d . the ending could have been better . however , these trivialities do not take away from the makers of deswa , the credit they deserve . it is a powerful film , a brave effort which needs to be discussed , applauded and take inspiration from . at the very least , it should shame those so - called filmmakers of the bhojpuri cinema who are bringing a bad name to the region with the filth they are creating .\nneetu , who has a guest appearance in the movie , says deswa is not a hardcore bihari film .\nits a story that can be seen by kids and elders of the family together .\nkranti jha , a well - known name in the world of theatre , plays the role of rajiv kumar in the film . along with him , deepak singh , a native of siwan , is essaying the role of sankar pandey . ajay kumar , a national school of drama graduate who is associated with a number of prominent national - international theatre groups , and arti puri too have a major role . it also stars ashish vidyarthi .\ndirector nitin chandra says it is sad that despite a huge market in india and abroad , bhojpuri films , being frowned upon for its c - grade content , have not grown and that it\u2019s time to revive it .\n\u201ci totally agree with bhojpuri cinema being b and c grade and i don\u2019t mind that , \u201d he added .\nchandra , elder brother of bollywood actress neetu chandra , says if the content is good , bhojpuri films can flourish in international market .\n\u201cso , far the kinds of films being made in bhojpuri are not even sold in bihar . bhojpuri has failed to create an inclusive audience for itself , \u201d chandra told ians .\n\u201cthere are countries where bhojpuri is spoken . fiji , suriname , mauritius , trinidad and many other countries have millions of bhojpuri speaking people . market is created , it\u2019s not god gifted . i am trying to create one , \u201d he said .\nthe content of films are being looked down upon , thanks to excessive skin show , raunchy item numbers and double meaning dialogues that titillate front - benchers and drive away family audiences .\n\u201cbhojpuri film industry is killing both cinema and language . it needs revival , \u201d chandra told ians in an interview .\n\u201cwhen i passed from the university in 2005 , i saw the plight of bhojpuri films . i was aghast at the kinds of films being made in my mother tongue . that time i decided that i would make a bhojpuri film someday and finally i could make it , \u201d he said .\n\u201cno , my film didn\u2019t have a commercial release . it was released in just a token of five theatres for national award , \u201d he said .\nthe industry started on a high note in the early 1960s with family drama \u201cganga maiya tohe piyari chadhaibo\u201d and later paved hits like \u201claagi nahi chhute ram\u201d , \u201cbidesiya\u201d and all - time favourite \u201cnadiya ke paar\u201d .\nbut from the 1990s onwards , the quality of bhojpuri cinema went downhill and chandra says that now it is tough to find distributors for meaningful bhojpuri movies .\n\u201cthere are a few hindi films and bhojpuri , i hope i find investor for them , \u201d he said .\n\u00a9 biharprabha . com ( 2010 -

making , as pawan started visiting prithvi theatre and making contacts there . he worked for five years in mumbai , but then quit his job in 2005 to return to bihar . while in bihar , he made three documentaries on social issues for different clients .\npawan says he penned down the story of \u2018naya pata\u2019 in just 15 pages . when he met some people to discuss the story and seek financing , he did not meet with much enthusiasm . \u201cpeople told me there is not much plot in my story . but i thought a movie can also be made without a plot . in one evening nothing special happens in our lives , there is no plot but still there is a story , \u201d he reasons .\nonce pawan realised that raising money through film financers would be tough he started approaching friends he had made in the industry who could work for him for free . and thus he put together his team of art director , cinematographer , director of photography and the rest of the crew .\nthe first corpus of funds came from pawan\u2019s brother and ex - colleagues who were encouraging of his passion for film making . \u201cwhat i was making was rural cinema , it is independent cinema , which is evolving day by day . there are independent movies coming up these days , but those are still urban centric . in fact , in a debate on tv , prasoon joshi asked independent moviemakers like anurag kashyap and srijit mukherjee that though they are rebellious why aren\u2019t they making rural - centric content ? urban content is safe ; it has a market in the multiplexes . whereas \u2018naya pata\u2019 was not like that , it didn\u2019t have any good visuals to look at , nor were things flashy , \u201d says pawan .\npawan nevertheless embarked upon his journey . he brought down his crew to patna , they did a recce of the shoot location and uploaded pictures on the facebook page created for \u2018naya pata\u2019 . pawan sent mails and reached out to people \u2013 known and unkown explaining the concept of the movie and the need for funds . he sent mails to 1 , 500 people of which 30 - 35 people responded and he managed to collect rs 2 lakh before the film went on the floor .\nwhile crowdfunding helped pawan take care of the finances for the film , he was also lucky to have met people who encouraged him at different steps through the journey . one such person was his friend from bihar who let him shoot the first schedule of his film in his house for free . another friend from mumbai gave him lenses for shooting at over 50 % discount from the market rate . people from faraway lands like australia and finland sent money to help pawan fulfill his dream .\n\u201cwithin a few days of shooting the funds would get over , i used to talk to friends , post on fb and people would send money . then i would send my friend to the city with the atm card to bring the money and we continued shooting this way . people were contributing from rs 500 to rs 35 , 000 . because i was shooting simultaneously , it helped me raise funds because people were seeing online the progress of the film and how the funds were being utilized , \u201d says pawan .\ngenerosity continued touching pawan when pawan sharma , an old contact for whom he had made short films , met him in mumbai . pawan had completed shooting the movie , but had to wait again to raise funds for post - production . he met several corporate organizations requesting them to be co - presenters for \u2018naya pata\u2019 , but it did not yield any result . for four months after shooting nothing much happened until pawan sharma came along . \u201che was very inspired seeing the short films that i had made and he knew about \u2018naya pata\u2019 and how things were moving . so when i told him that i am still waiting for funds to do post production work , he very generously gave me rs 2 . 5 lakhs and helped me complete the film , \u201d says pawan .\nluck smiled again when india habitat centre in delhi let out their auditorium for free to \u2018naya pata\u2019 to do the preview screening . pawan invited more than 500 people to the screening and among them was the top boss at pvr director\u2019s rare who told pawan they were willing to release his movie .\nthe entire \u2018naya pata\u2019 movie has been made on a lot of goodwill and pawan does consider it to be a blessing . \u201cmy music director , sound engineer , and everyone worked on goodwill basis , they supported me . i have not paid them anything . as an individual i was doing many things , making the film , collecting money , setting up catering and everything for my film . so you need to have lots of patience , be ready to do anything and yes raising funds is always tough , \u201d shares pawan .\nfrom the time he put down his idea on paper to the completion of his film , it has been a long journey of four years . this is , however , less than the 17 years that filmmaker imitiaz ali took , and 13 years that anurag kashyap took to make their first movies , and that motivates pawan to do better . \u201cthings have been comparatively easier for me , but yes there are still many hurdles that i have to overcome as an director , \u201d says pawan .\nunlike a startup where there is continuity in what an entrepreneur does , pawan\u2019s maiden venture has reached fruition . but as a director , \u2018naya pata\u2019 was only his first step . pawan says he has already written the synopsis for his second movie and will start work on it soon . while crowdfunding will continue to be a source of funds , pawan has decided that for the next movie he will seek at least 60 % funding from financers , and he is optimistic that \u2018naya pata\u2019 will help lend him the credibility that institutional financers are looking for .\n\u00ae < \u00f5\u0095\u0081 } \u001a\u00be\u00f6\u00f5m\u0003\u00ed l\u00be\u00d7\u00f5e\u00f4 ' \u00e6\u0087 * 0\u001a\u00b6 \u00e3\u00fb / \u00a9\u00f2\u00bdpy\u00bd\u0006\u00e8n\u00f2 % \u00af\u00d7\u00df . \u00e0d\u0017a \u0087\u0083 ? u\u0091 ` , \u0006\u0015\u0092 > !

film ' s plot concerns two young american men , david kessler ( played by naughton ) and jack goodman ( played by dunne ) , attacked by a werewolf on a backpacking holiday in england . with jack killed , david is taken to a london hospital , where his disturbing apparitions of his deceased friend informs him that he is a werewolf and will transform at the next full moon .\nan intermittently captivating snapshot of the road not taken towards a more scientific and urbane werewolf genre than the one we ultimately got .\nthe hospital to which david is brought after being attacked by the werewolf was a disused hospital , princess beatrice hospital , in london ( room 21 , floor 4 ) . the building is now used as a homeless clinic .\nthough worthy of it ' s status as a bona fide horror classic , werewolf of london is far too genteel to be overtly frightening . stuart walker is no james whale , henry hull is no boris karloff and warner oland is no bela lugosi . still , it ' s a landmark film that , for it ' s time , revolutionized special effects and elevated the werewolf to screen infamy .\ndavid naughton and griffin dunne wondered why john landis never used warren zevon '

remembering ' an american werewolf in london ' ( 2009 ) documentary , that the howl had been played backwards . john landis also stated in the documentary that the howl was a combination of seven or eight different animals .\njohn landis initially wanted to keep the werewolf ' s screentime to a minimum , having it only appear in a couple of scenes , just enough to give an impression of something huge and ferocious . the long shot of the werewolf cornering gerald bringsley on the underground escalator was an example of this . landis ' decision to show the werewolf , as much as it was shown , was based on the fact that landis loved rick baker ' s design of the monster .\ncarol reed\u2019s adaptation of lionel bart\u2019s dickens musical is a great london film \u2013 despite not actually

brothers ( 1980 ) by directing a weird comedic horror script he had been trying to make for over a decade . an american werewolf in london starred david naughton as david kessler , a young american

werewolf in london are the most effective , beating out those in the howling by a snout ( wolfen isn ' t even in the running ) . there are a lot of similarities , which should come as no surprise , since both were supervised by makeup man extraordinary rick baker ( who was also responsible for changing jack nicholson from man to beast in wolf ) . baker , working with\nold - fashioned\ntools like

collection however werewolves legacy collection probably would have been a more fitting title because only 2 of the 4 movies included feature the wolf man , the others are unrelated to the lon chaney

( this may actually be the earliest - - it depends on whether an american werewolf in london came out earlier in 1981 than the howling , or vice versa . either way , this movie\u2019s transformation scene scores extra points for happening in a much better - lit room than the howling \u2019s . )\n[ 2 ] that is , the only genuine werewolf character , since a staged werewolf ( in the sense that both the audience and the players onstage are aware that it is merely a theatrical device ) appears as part of the \u0091masque of melancholy\u0092 in john ford\u0092s the lover\u0092s melancholy ( london , 1629 ) , 66 . similarly , shakespeare portrays characters with \u0093wolfish\u0094 desires ( mv . 4 . 128 - 38 ) or \u0093wolvish visage [ s ] \u0094 ( lr . 1 . 4 . 263 ) , but these figurative descriptions are not developed to suggest lycanthropy .\n2007 \u2013 meanwhile , at death camp 13 rob zombie ' s werewolf women of the s . s . faux trailer for grindhouse tells of a nazi camp where fiendish experiments are being performed to create an army of werewolf soldiers . the usual assortment of zombie performers star including wife sheri moon , udo kier , tom towles , bill moseley and a cameo by nicolas cage . wayne toth provides the machine gun - firing werewolves their make - up .

( avoid paris , however . the sequel is a horrible bust . )\ncampbell : the universal monster movie novels were commissioned by piers dudgeon of star books in london . the original idea was that i should write all six , but two werewolf novels would have been one too many , and since i can\u2019t swim , i wouldn\u2019t have been much use to the creature from the black lagoon . at the time i didn\u2019t know to suggest david schow . we therefore needed a house name , and i originally suggested carl thunstone , but manly wade wellman felt people might think it was hiding him . dreadstone was the compromise . for the record - and no matter how many times i say this , i seem to need to repeat myself - i did not write the mummy , the werewolf of london or the creature from the black lagoon , and even piers can\u2019t recall who did .\nnot very . werewolves have been part of folklore for centuries , but much of what we think of as\ntraditional werewolf lore\nis an invention of hollywood . this movie invented the idea that lycanthropy could be passed via a bite or scratch , and that one changed involuntarily into a wolf / man hybrid upon the full moon . in real folklore , one became a werewolf by being cursed or making a pact with the devil , one changed into a wolf , and could change at any time .\nit ' s a transformation the director has witnessed first - hand . when he was in the process of writing his seminal monster movie an american werewolf in london in 1970 , he asked computer - generated graphics pioneer john whitney if it would be possible for his werewolf ' s transformation to be done with cg . the answer was ,\npotentially .\nby the time he began making the movie in 1981 , whitney had passed away , so landis asked john whitney jr . if it could be done . the answer was ,\nsoon , soon .\nexclusive : an american werewolf in london is officially getting a remake with the walking dead \u2018s david alpert and robert kirkman producing through their skybound entertainment for universal pictures . the remake of filmmaker john landis \u2019 classic 1981 comedic horror film will be written by his son max landis , who also is attached to direct . the news comes after the elder landis and filmmaker anthony waller ( an american werewolf in paris ) sealed a deal with the studio on the rights . the younger landis\u2019 deal is being negotiated . skybound has a first - look production deal with universal .\nif , then , the only intrinsic difference between man and beast is our capacity for reason , is our humanity forfeit upon our loss of that capacity ? it is on this basis alone that animals , unlike man , are not capable of sin . the werewolf therefore threatens the identity of being human and the precarious boundary between man and beast , as well as undermining the theological framework of sin and salvation ; since the werewolf , as an animal ( or non - human ) , is excluded from divine judgment and the possibility of salvation that stems forthwith .\ngriffin dunne as jack goodman , david ' s good friend who gets killed by a werewolf and becomes one of the undead and tries to help david to kill himself in order to prevent him from killing innocent people and making them one of the undead .\nthe picture was released during an early - mid 1980s cycle of werewolf movies . these included wolfen ( 1981 ) , the howling ( 1981 ) , teen wolf ( 1985 ) , howling ii : . . . your sister is a werewolf ( 1985 ) , full moon high ( 1981 ) , teen wolf too ( 1987 ) , the company of wolves ( 1984 ) , and howling iii ( 1987 ) .\nat st . martin ' s , doctor hirsch hears the news reports and tells alex about the\nwild animal\nsighting . they both fear that david might be involved and hurriedly leave the hospital . when they arrive , they see that armed police men have barricaded off an alleyway in the hopes of trapping the werewolf . alex breaks through the barricade and runs down the alley . she sees the werewolf and knows that it is david . tearfully , she mouths the words\ni love you\n. the werewolf appears to understand the sentiment and looms forward , at which point , the police officers gun him down . the werewolf , now dead , turns back into david kessler .\nan american werewolf in london is a priceless curio that came about through a series of unlikely events . can you imagine the remake ? how do you top the scene at the slaughtered lamb without the legend that was brian glover ? could any modern - day actor equal the demure loveliness of the young jenny agutter as naughton ' s luckless nurse lover ? and is any director going to get the sort of free rein that allowed landis , off the back of the hugely successful blues brothers and animal house , to bring such a strange concoction to the boil ?\nthe british botanist wilfred glendon goes in an expedition to tibet to search the rare phosphorescent wolf - flower that is located in a cursed place . while collecting the flower , glendon is bitten by a strange creature . he returns to london and makes research with the flower . during an exposition , the mysterious dr . yogami tells him that there are two werewolves in london and the flower is an antidote to the lycanthropy that avoids the transformation into werewolf . further the creature would seek out his love to kill . glendon discovers that he has contracted the disease and when he seeks his flowers in the full moon , he finds that someone has stolen them from his laboratory . now glendon wants to protect his beloved wife lisa from himself , but he begins a murder wave in london .\nhelping david through this crisis is a nurse named alex price . alex develops a personal interest in david and spends a lot of time with him on his road to recovery . the next morning , david is visited by the ghost of jack goodman . jack ' s face is completely mauled , and he confirms that what attacked them was a werewolf . david , of course , doesn ' t believe that he is actually seeing jack and thinks he is having another nightmare . jack tells him that he is forced to wander limbo as one of the undead until the bloodline of the werewolf who killed him is destroyed . he warns david that he has become infected with the werewolf curse and unless he takes his own life , he will become a werewolf and killer others . david ' s anxiety and intensified and he calls for the nurse . when alex comes into the room , jack is gone .\nthe term lycanthropy carried multiple meanings in the early modern mind , due to the overlap of the subject into the discourses of theology , demonology , medicine , and folklore . on the one hand , lycanthropy referred to the reality of the werewolf , that is , the phenomenon of metamorphosis from human form to wolf . simultaneously , the term also referred to the delusion that one was capable of such transformations , whether this delusion was the result of madness , melancholy , hallucinogenic drugs , illness , or the diabolic exacerbation of any number of these causes . in our present time , these two diverging definitions are distinguished : the former , relegated entirely to the domain of fiction and folklore , as werewolf ; and the latter located within the discourses of medicine and psychology as lycanthropy . however , this distinction was foreign in the early modern period , since \u0093at this point in english linguistic history the words werewolf and lycanthrope seem to be interchangeable\u0094 ( otten 8 ) . transformation , metempsychosis , and theology"]}

' chiththira vaanam ' gives the flavour of vasanta in the prelude itself . however , the charanams and the interludes deviate a lot . that silly mirchy is of course a very big distraction . 2 . ' nee nee ' seems to have a somewhat different start but except for the pallavi - where the ' thanthai ' and ' pillai ' parts use alien swaras - some phrases in the first interlude , and a few phrases in the charanams - i do not find much of vasanta here . especially , the second interlude totally follows a different scale . 3 . ' thaye enge ' has left me confused . it sounds a lot like pantuvarali . but for that matter , even ' andhi mazhai pozhigirathu ' sounds both like pantuvarali and vasanta . in any case , a different attempt though i would ' nt say it is a great album . i would also recommend you to listen to ' manmadha ragangale ' ( bala nagamma ) where vasanta makes an appearance as part of the ragamalika . .\nkiran says\n' ore kadal ' has all the songs tuned in shubhapantuvarali . and from what i read seems even the background score is in shubhapantuvarali\nneed to check this out . .\nyeah . . wikipedia confirms the shubha pantuvaraali concept of ore kadal , which is according to me one of shyama prasad ' s best , with stellar performances from mammootty and meera jasmine . . music was by ouseppachan .\nnow that the raavanan fever has abated , its time to start welcoming other tamil movies . and tomorrow , we are welcoming two films , in two very different genres , that have some good things going for them and promise to be unique and interesting in their own ways .\nthe first and more high - profile of the two is madharasapattinam , a big - budget , period film about the romance between a poor dhobi / wrestler and a british woman in pre - independence madras . that is new ground for its director vijay , who has so far made the serious , star - driven drama kireedam and the lively , small - budget film poi solla porom . not only is the period setting new for him , madharasapattinam will also be his first original film after 2 remakes . but his choice does attest to his versatility and willingness to take risks and those are admirable attributes for any director . the film stars arya , who has earned a name as a dedicated actor after naan kadavul . he\u2019s starred in some high - profile films with good directors ( bala , vishnu vardhan ) but hasn\u2019t had a big hit in some time now . amy jackson plays the british woman . the film has a strong technical team . a period film demands a lot of the cinematographer and there\u2019s no doubt that nirav shah is capable of that and g . v . prakash has done a good job evoking the mood of those times with his soundtrack .\nneither mp nor av boast of a big star cast . that said , maybe you might get to see av next week . they are hoping that mp can rake its money this week and av maybe next week . we\u2019ll just have to wait and see ! my expectations for both mp and av are both pretty low . i don\u2019t see either earth - shaking us or the box office ! \ud83d\ude00\ni have to admit , i agree with sandya on her comments . only hard core tamil movie fans tend to watch these low profile movies in the big screen , at least here in the us . rest of us commoners are content on watching them on the small screen\ni read an article ( i think on sify ) that said that if av flops , shankar might close down s pictures . that will be a shame\u2026he does encourage filmmakers with different ideas ( even if they don\u2019t always make for entertaining viewing ) and i hope that , as you put it , \u201cfor the sake of thamizh cinema\u201d that these kinds of movies do well\u2026my mind goes back to kamal\u2019s comment that \u201cdevar magan\u201d was 10 years late , that if \u201craja paarvai\u201d was accepted by the masses in 1981 his career wouldn\u2019t have stagnated in the early \u2013 mid 80s\u2026\nbalaji , based on reviews so far , it doesn\u2019t look like av will make it next week . there are some rare instances that even bad films do make it to theaters based on the production company , director or even just one great song ; ) . . who knows what will happen in a week ? ! \ud83d\ude09\ngoing by the reviews it looks like at least mp has some impact ( in the making , mostly ) but av seems to be not so good \u2013 which is a shame as i am a huge fan of naga\u2019s vidathu karuppu ( marma desam ) and sidhambara ragasiyam .\ni am actually looking for \u201ckalavani\u201d \u2013 to see it on big screen if somehow it gets released here \u2013 as i am hearing all good things about that film .\nsandya , yeah av doesn\u2019t seem to be getting the reviews or word - of - mouth that would\u2019ve brought it to the us next week . very few movies have managed that ( i think \u2018thamizh padam\u2019 was the last one ) .\nkk , i was hoping i was one of the hardcore fans but looks like i\u2019ve to be satisfied with the small screen for both the movies .\nram , yeah i read that in a couple of places too . and like u , that was my biggest reason for hoping that av would be a big hit .\napala , haven\u2019t seen those 2 serials but have heard lots of good things about them . so was looking fwd to av too . i\u2019ll be absolutely thrilled if \u2018kalavaani\u2019 released here but i don\u2019t think its gonna happen . yeah i read that news too . and audio release end of this month . the time is near\npisaasu ( english : devil ) is a 2014 tamil supernatural drama film written and

an accident where a teenage girl ( prayaga ) is lying in a pool of blood . he rushes her to the hospital with the help of an auto driver and a couple . however , he is too late and the girl passes away holding his hand . traumatized by the whole episode , siddharth comes home with one of her slippers . he then drives around the city aimlessly with his red car while helping homeless people ,

friend . when siddharth ' s mother ( kalyani n ) comes to visit him , she is hit by a drunk neighbour ( harish uthaman ) who is abusing his wife ( kani kusruti ) . the neighbour is then attacked by a mysterious ghost . the following day , siddharth ' s mother meets with a freak accident in the bathroom and is saved by the ghost who alerts the neighbours . but siddharth mistakes that the ghost had attacked his mother and threatens the ghost that he would kill himself and come as ghost to take revenge on her . many rituals of various religions to drive the ghost away were performed by siddharth but everything is proven futile and the ghost continues to stay . also , a petty thief is also stabbed while trying to steal from siddharth ' s apartment .\nsiddharth is assured that the ghost of the

siddharth . when the ghost appears as expected , her father begs her to come home with him but she continues to remain at the apartment . siddharth understands that bhavani ' s spirit never meant him any harm .\nrealizing that the only way bhavani can rest in peace is by bringing her killer to face justice , siddharth and his friends attempt to solve the mystery of her death themselves . they track down the auto driver that helped siddharth save bhavani and he tells them that he saw a green car driving away after the accident . they then manage to track down the green car at a shady workshop . the driver turns out to be a young man who stole an orphaned child from the hospital since he and his wife cannot have children of their own . the driver ' s cousin who was in the car that day tells siddharth that she saw the actual car that hit bhavani that day and that it was not green but red . siddharth then goes back to the auto driver and asks him to differentiate between red apples and green ones , which he cannot since he is colour blind .\nfinally realizing that he is the killer , siddharth goes to tell bhavani ' s father the truth . the ghost tries to stop him but he still reveals the truth . overridden with guilt , siddharth tries to commit suicide . bhavani ' s spirit saves siddharth from committing suicide by cremating her own body that her father had preserved all this time in the ice , thus moving on to the next world . the girl ' s father comforts siddharth saying that he is a very kind hearted person and he would have never done that intentionally and that is why his daughter fell in love with him and stayed with him .\nthe team released a teaser trailer on 15 november 2014 , revealing that production had been finished in fifty two days and the

[ 1 ] music was scored by joshua sridhar and lyrics were written by na . muthukumar . the film was dubbed in telugu language as kalasala . [ 2 ] the film received positive reviews from the critics and the audience . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] the film was inspired on a real life of incident of three college girls of the tamil nadu agricultural university being burnt alive in the 2000 dharmapuri bus burning incident . [ 5 ]\nin the classroom they see a beautiful girl shobhana ( played by tamannaah ) , who is strikingly different . she looks depressed and sad and aloof . the friends are puzzled by her in the beginning and later they learn she lost her mom recently in an accident . the group sympathizes for her and brings her into its fold . shobhana soon becomes a member of their group and ditches her plans to pursue her course in delhi . she simply does it to be with these friends during college .\nmuthu who initially had a crush on shobhana later abandons the feeling due to the respect of the friendship they have developed among their group . the movie goes on to narrate the college life with fun and colour . it shows the strength of the friendship and the backgrounds of the friends ; most of them are from poor families . muthu has an aim in his life . being an athlete , he wants to excel in sports and get a good job through sports quota to give his poor family a new lease of life .\nshobhana , who is from a wealthy family background , feels sympathy for muthu after she sees the conditions he and his family lives in and is really moved by his perseverance and helps him achieve his goal by encouraging him in every chance . in fact as true friend many do the same and so does shobhana . she even advises him that there is more he has to and capable of achieving in life so he should take her encouragements as a way to improve his career and nothing else . but eventually her encouraging stance turns into some sort of special attachment with him . slowly love develops in the minds of both but they chose to put it on the back seat for the sake of the larger friendship they share with the group . in fact the poor lovers don ' t even share their feelings .\nthe last scene flashes back to the beginning of the movie where a group of people are clearing the weeds . it has been eight years since the incident and every year the group of friends come to pay respects to their lost friends and muthu still keeps the handkerchief of shobhana ' s in the remembrance of their love . [ 6 ]\nbehind woods stated that the movie works but its lack of action and dance numbers might affect its prospects at the box office . [ 9 ] indiaglitz said out that the climax scene was credibly portrayed but didn ' t fit well into the script . [ 10 ]\nafter the film was released , sakthivel changed the climax because of the negative reaction to a scene in the film which was reminiscent of a real life incident where girls were burned on a bus .

[ 3 ] the film ' s story revolves around a scientist ' s struggle to control his creation , an android robot whose programme was upgraded to give it the ability to comprehend and generate human emotions . the plan backfires as the robot falls in love with the scientist ' s fianc\u00e9e and is further manipulated to bring destruction to the world when it lands in the hands of a rival scientist .\ndr . vaseegaran ( rajinikanth ) , a professor specialized in robotics , creates a sophisticated android robot in his own likeness after a decade of intensive original research . his mother ( revathi sankaran ) suggests naming it chitti babu .\nat the international robotic conference in india , vaseegaran introduces chitti ( also played by rajinikanth ) to the delegates . later it is revealed that vaseegaran ' s mentor , dr . bohra ( danny denzongpa ) was pre - occupied in a botched research project to create a similar superintelligent android robot .\nchitti endears himself to vaseegaran ' s girlfriend , sana ( aishwarya rai ) and helps her cheat in her medical school exams . they are caught , but sana , fearing rustication , lies to the investitors that she does not know chitti . chitti learns that humans may choose to lie for self - preservation . chitti ' s superhuman talents soon gain him a large number of fans , especially in the women ' s hostel housing sana .\nvaseegaran prepares chitti for a panel evaluation by the artificial intelligence research and development institute ( aird ) , which is headed by dr . bohra . the panel enquires whether chitti ' s build conforms to the three laws of robotics of isaac asimov . vaseegaran replies in the negative . during evaluation , chitti almost stabs vaseegaran at bohra ' s command . bohra convinces the evaluation committee that chitti could not be relied upon in the battlefield because he could be easily manipulated to turn against his owners . later , chitti tries to rescue a bathing girl from a building fire emergency . chitti carries her nude into the public and media focus . as she tries to run away from the tv cameras , she is fatally hit and run over by a truck .\nvaseegaran decides to modify chitti ' s neural schema and embeds a positronic brain to allow him to understand human behaviour and emotions . later chitti successfully applies his text book knowledge of symphysiotomy to handle the complicated labour of latha ( devadarshini ) , sana ' s friend . the procedure is covered live by the media . dr . bohra arrives to congratulate dr . vaseegaran on the achievement . he also lets chitti pass the aird ' s evaluation . but problems have only begun for vaseegaran . chitti begins to see sana as its romantic interest and makes advances . this triggers a confrontation between vaseegaran and chitti at sana ' s birthday party . sana tries to explain to chitti that she can love him only as a friend and asks him to forget her . bohra tries to take advantage of the situation and tells chitti that vaseegaran is using him only for his personal benefits , and that he does not value chitti ' s feelings . bohra ' s words do have their effect on chitti , who deliberately fails in an evaluation conducted by the indian army . vaseegaran chops chitti into pieces and throws it away in a landfill site .\nbohra , who had already struck up a deal with a german underground terrorist group through an indian agent named shah ( sabu cyril ) to sell them superintelligent robots , had failed to meet the deadline and is given an ultimatum by the group ' s leader . he retrieves chitti ' s parts from the junkyard and fixes it up . he gives chitti a new appearance , and embeds a\nred chip\ninside chitti , thereby converting him into a ruthless terminator . chitti gatecrashes vaseegaran and sana ' s wedding , kidnaps her , imprisons her in aird and threatens her with rape and creation of a cyborg by artificial insemination .\nvaseegaran establishes remote communication with chitti via holographic projection and instructs chitti to return to his lab . chitti refuses to oblige and disconnects the transmission . calling himself\nversion 2 . 0\nnow , chitti begins to create replicas . dr . bohra is killed by chitti . soon chitti ' s army of robots cause mayhem in the city , and take over aird . vaseegaran undertakes the responsibility to stop chitti . disguised as one of the robots , he successfully infiltrates the aird headquarters . vaseegaran instructs the police to cut the power supply in the entire city , and sana distracts chitti from the problem by pretending that she had finally fallen in love with him . when chitti and his army are about to run out of power , they find an alternate solution : they seize vehicles on the road and use their batteries to recharge themselves .\nchitti finds vaseegaran , but as chitti is about to kill him , the police force strikes aird . the robots assemble themselves into a sphere , snake , tower , and drill bit formations to defend themselves . one of the robots is immobilized by a grenade explosion , and is taken into custody by vaseegaran . he uploads a computer worm into chitti ' s network which temporarily brings down the robot army . chitti identifies the source of the worm and sends a\nself - destruct\ncommand to the robot . the robots assemble in the shape of a giant and chase vaseegaran ' s armoured bus . vaseegaran uses the data he had backed up from the destroyed robot to de - magnetise the robot army , collapsing the giant formation . chitti is pulled into the bus by a huge magnetic wall , allowing vaseegaran access to chitti ' s internal control panel , through which he instructs all the other robots to self - destruct . he then removes the red chip thus calming down chitti .\nin a court hearing , the jury rules capital punishment for vaseegaran , citing the large number of casualties and damages to public property caused by the robot army . chitti , explaining to the court that the law allows it to be treated as material evidence , if not as a witness , explains that it was dr . bohra who caused chitti ' s deviant behaviour . he shows the court , using his eyes as 3d projectors , the video footage of dr . bohra installing the red chip inside him . the court decides to drop all charges against vaseegaran , while concluding that chitti should be dismantled in order to avoid further mishaps of the same kind in future . back at the lab , in the presence of bureaucrats and police officials , an emotional vaseegaran tells chitti to dismantle itself . while taking off its parts one by one , chitti apologizes to sana and vaseegaran for the problems it caused . a smiling chitti then dismantles himself , with vaseegaran , sana , and all others around him , crying .\ntwenty years later , in 2030 , students in a science museum are escorted by a guide towards a showcase that has chitti ' s body parts arranged . the guide tells the students that chitti was the most advanced humanoid robot created , but it was dismantled due to\ncertain reasons\n. a curious student ( shriya sharma ) asks why , to which chitti ' s head responds ,\ni started to think\n, implying that chitti had not dismantled himself completely , and that he has been alive for 20 years .\nafter completing nayak : the real hero in 2001 , shankar announced a project with kamal haasan and preity zinta titled robo , [ 11 ] to be produced by the now - defunct production company media dreams . [ 12 ] [ 13 ] [ 14 ] despite announcing the project , due to a lack of backing , the project was canceled and shankar began work on boys . in 2005 , shankar made another project , anniyan , which was mistaken to be the renamed title for robot . [ 15 ]\nin early 2007 , shankar stated that his next project would be produced by his production house , s pictures . [ 16 ] several websites claimed that he was set to take his maiden telugu language film with chiranjeevi , [ 17 ] while others claimed that it was set to be with mahesh babu . [ 18 ] tabloid gossip columns reported that ajith kumar was considered for the film . [ 18 ] finally , in july 2007 , shahrukh khan was signed on to be the male lead of robot as well as the producer of the film . [ 19 ] however , in october 2007 , shahrukh khan and shankar officially called off the project due to creative differences . [ 20 ]\nafter further media speculation about aamir khan and hrithik roshan being roped in , official reports surfaced in early january 2008 , that rajinikanth was finalized for the project . [ 21 ] later in january 2008 , ayngaran international and eros entertainment agreed to become the producers of robot . the film was unable to keep the name robot in tamil nadu due to the english title . the government there exempts entertainment tax to films with tamil titles . [ 22 ] it was confirmed in september 2008 that the film has been renamed as enthiran . [ 23 ] the film ' s storyboarding and scripting was going on as told by shankar in two interviews . it was subsequently announced that all those who have been committed for robot should sign an agreement accepting that they will not commit themselves to any other project for the next two years of its production , with an exemption to the female lead , aishwarya rai .

would the government of the day agree that chahine\u2019s wisdom was on par with averroes ?\nlinklater\u2019s additional credits include the 70s cult hit dazed and confused ( 1993 ) ; before sunrise ( 1995 ) , for which linklater won the berlin film festival silver bear award for best director ; suburbia ( 1997 ) ; the newton boys ( 1998 ) , a western / gangster film set in the 1920s ; the animated feature waking life ( 2001 ) ; the real - time drama tape ( 2001 ) ; the hit comedy school of rock ( 2003 ) ; $ 5 : 15 an hour ( tv ) ; before sunset ( 2004 ) , which earned him an academy award nomination ; bad news bears ( 2005 ) ; a scanner darkly ( 2006 ) ; fast food nation ( 2006 ) ; inning by inning : a portrait of a coach ( 2008 ) ; me and orson welles ( 2009 ) ; bernie ( 2012 ) ; up to speed ( 2012 , hulu ) ; before midnight ( 2013 ) ; boyhood ( 2014 ) ; everybody wants some ! !

( i was reminded of woody allen ' s\neveryone says i love you , ' ' which was equally direct in the way ordinary people moved from speech to singing . ) there are places in the world where\ndestiny , ' ' directed by the veteran egyptian filmmaker youssef chahine , would be controversial - - even dangerous . in those places , the music and romance will help find a wider audience for a charged message . the interest in this country is more indirect . the film is naive and simple at times , even clumsy in its musical sequences , and yet lurking beneath its story is a conflict between rationalism and fundamentalism that is as fraught today as it ever was .\nwarner bros . did concede that it had no formal sign - off on using the footage . furthermore , the white house did not seek to pull the film , or even have it re - edited . rather , president clinton ' s administration wanted to raise the issue of unauthorized use of his image\u2014presumably to dissuade others from trying something similar in the future .\nthe prop recreators at chronicle collectibles have collaborated with universal studios to make the canisters as faithful to the original as possible . just like the prop used in the film , the vessel resembles an unassuming can of shaving cream from the outside . but screw off the bottom and you ' ll find a secret compartment filled with vials the perfect size for storing prehistoric genetic material .\njurassic park ( 1993 ) is known for having some incredible props . the fake shaving cream can dennis nedry uses to smuggle dinosaur dna out of the cold storage unit may not be as iconic as the life - sized t . rex , but it still plays a colossal role in the film . now , io9 reports that an official replica of the prop can soon be yours .\nbenjamin guggenheim : no , thank you . we are dressed in our best and are prepared to go down as gentlemen . but , we would like a brandy .\ncollide with destiny\ntitanic is a movie i ' ve seen countless times since i was a little kid and it came out . this movie is one that seems to polarize people to extremes . some love it and will call it one of the best movies they ' ve seen and others will hate it and label it one of the worst . as far as where i stand on it today , i still believe it is a very good film that benefits from marvelous special effects . jack wins his way onto the titanic in a poker game and runs into first class rich girl , rose , when she is hanging off the end of the ship , apparently about to commit suicide . jack saves her and they start spending a lot of time together , which really pisses off rose ' s rich , but unpleasant fianc\u00e9 , cal hockley . the story is told by the 102 year old rose , as treasure seeker brock lovett searches for a diamond that was given to rose by cal on the boat . the movie has its share of problems . the dialogue , at times , can be corny , as can the actions . the acting , while serviceable most of the time , has some terrible moments , especially from billy zane and bill paxton . also , the film suffers slightly from its long run time . it ' s not something that bothers me a great deal , but had the film been cut by something like 20 or 30 minutes , it would have flowed a lot better . titanic isn ' t james cameron ' s best film , but it is a majestic and epic one . i like leonardo dicaprio and kate winslet as jack and rose , and i also really liked kathy bates as a first class passenger that has just come into her money . this isn ' t one of the best films ever , but it ' s , at times , fun , sad , infuriating , and joyful . there ' s an emotional rollercoaster going on here .\nspielberg got his start directing for tv at the age of 21 , helming episodes of such shows as night gallery and marcus welby , m . d . but the aspiring filmmaker was desperately searching for a property he could turn into a feature film . it was spielberg ' s secretary , nona tyson , who found matheson\u2019s story in playboy and first sent it to her boss to potentially adapt into a movie .\nlargely constructed as a passionate melodrama , the film ' s interest comes from historical details . it is a historical epic : we hear of the great arabic contributions to mathematics , and we see a fascinating invention , a telescope that uses the magnifying power of water in order to work . we see a society that is part european , part arabic , in which islam is as much a political movement as a religious one . and the film explicitly alludes to the role played by european leaders in fomenting support for fundamentalist cults in arab - occupied spain . european monarchs broadly opposed the then social , cultural and national heterogeneity , scientific progress , and intellectual freedom and openness of muslim - arab andalusia , and chahine refers to the colonial politics of divide and conquer , by highlighting the collaboration between european leaders and islamic fundamentalism , forces opposed to a modernist renewal .\ni visited cordoba , spain this year for the first time , attending the 9th african film festival cordoba as a panellist and international guest . here i came across the statue of an arabic scholar born 1126 in cordoba , and died in 1198 in marrakesh . ab\u016b l -

minute series premiere episode of columbo , \u201cmurder by the book . \u201d eckstein was impressed , and gave spielberg the job to direct duel after a follow - up meeting where the filmmaker laid out how he envisioned the film from matheson\u2019s screenplay in full .\ngood movie . one big complaint . the film doesn ' t really explain the influence of the writings of the philosopher averroes on almohad culture . we can only tell that averroes is a good and intelligent man because of the advise he gives or teaches to others . the major story is of a planned coup d ' etat against the caliph . averroes is definitely caught up in this struggle between the caliph and sheik riad . the reasons are not given why the muslims rejected the ideas of aristotle , for whom averroes was the greatest exponent .\nthe most courageous frontal attack on islamic fundamentalism to come out of the arab cinema to date , \u201c destiny \u201d is both an entertaining historical biopic of the influential 12th century philosopher averroes and a blunt allegory condemning the politically driven fanaticism of present times . the two - hour - plus tale by the dean of egyptian directors , youssef chahine , makes scant concessions to western cinema , and pic will pose a challenge to western auds not used to some of its conventions , like having the story interrupted by egyptian song - and - dance production numbers . this should be one of the major arab films on the fest circuit this year , while theatrical prospects will be subject to local auds\u2019 curiosity about the topic . the reaction of viewers in the arab markets will no doubt swing strongly in both positive and negative directions .\ncasper van dien of starship troopers stars as james dean , whose remarkable talent and rebel attitude took hollywood by storm . but as dean ' s star begins to rise , his passionate affair with italian ingenue pier angeli ( carrie mitchum of the bold and the beautiful ) angers her disapproving mother ( academy award nominee diane ladd ) and studio chief jack warner ( mike connors ) . how did a broken heart , reckless behavior and his relationships with natalie wood , sal mineo and director george stevens ( the legendary robert mitchum in his final screen role ) lead to dean ' s ultimate race with destiny ? connie stevens , joseph campanella and casey kasem co -

one man . and he wants this assailant captured . averroes says that these barbarians he is talking about are threatening the almohad culture . he pleads that the caliph should have the assailant captured , but more importantly , he should have the man questioned so that they may be able to find out what ' s ailing the country . he adds that there is a conspiracy behind the assault .\nthe assailant is captured . nasser comes in and slaps the face of the already bloodied captive . averroes tends to benhar ' s wounds , while talking with him . the philosopher wants to know who told the assailant that marwan was an enemy to god . the guy just keeps repeating the same lines over and over again .\naverroes finds out that the assailant has a brother who left a cult they both were a part of and the assailant tried to kill his brother . averroes now wants to meet with the brother . the brother says the movement people fill the initiates with all kinds of praise and flattery . once they have the trust of the initiates , they then begin to wear the new fellows down . they are taken out into the desert where they must walk and pray endlessly in the hot sun . this weakens the men both mentally and physically . and it is this way that the initiates become slaves to the will of the emir . the initiates are told to go out among the people and tell them that people have become impious and they must turn back to the real truth . the brother remembers when benhar told him :\nevery throat i cut takes me one step closer to paradise .\naverroes holds court for the assailants . his judgment is that , because the young men were led astray by others , he will sentence the accused to five years in prison . marwian ' s wife is very happy about the judgments , but the caliph is not . he tells averroes that he defied his caliph by handing out such light sentences . the caliph adds that the whole council is angry about his light sentences . averroes gets disgusted and leaves .\nlater averroes visits the jail where the three men sentenced to five years have been hanged and still dangle from the rafters . averroes says that they must find the brother saad and hide him or else he probably will face the same fate .\nsheik raid is the one behind the plot and the cult . his right hand man , the emir , who arranged the attack on marwan , says that he would like to become a judge again . averroes had caught him accepting bribes and removed him from his office . sheik raid is willing even to give the man averroes ' s position .\naverroes writes out a letter of resignation . he is incensed that the caliph ignores what is really going on in andalusia and he does not want to contribute to a system that is corrupt . nasser and a friend tell him the good things that the caliph has done for averroes personally . he built him a library and encouraged him to write commentaries on the greek philosopher aristotle . so averroes tears up his resignation letter . nasser tells him to forget about the caliph and concentrate on this sheik riad .\nabdallah tells marwan , who is still healing , to get up and pray to allah . for if he is to die , he should do it in a state of pureness . marwan ' s wife manuela gets after abdallah for asking her husband to get up . abdalla says thank goodness there are others who know what is wrong . the wife asks who are these geniuses and what do they say ? abdallah says they say the real culprit is in the palace . manuela asks abdallah if he has gone crazy ? abdallah leaves . manuela asks what ' s gotten into that man ? sarah , her sister , says this happened because he is running away from her due to the fact that she is carrying abdallah ' s baby . manuela gets upset about this because she says that if the caliph knows that abdallah has a gypsy heir , he will surely cut the baby ' s throat . her brother - in - law says that she should just forget abdallah . but that is not easy for her to do .\njoseph seeks a hiding place for the complete works of averroes . he puts the books into a big barrel of flour down in the cellar of averroes ' s home . at dinner at the house , marwan comes over to greet the men and women . he goes around the room thanking people for saving his life . all of a sudden they realize that the home library is on fire . averroes is devastated by the damage caused by the fire ( that is put out by the rain ) . his happiness is restored when joseph shows him that his books are all safe and sound .\naverroes believes that the fire was the work of shiek riad . he tells nasser that the sheik wants all the power . later nasser tells his father about this , but the caliph won ' t listen . he tells nasser that the council wants to burn all of averroes ' s books and that riad opposes this fatwa ."]}

debut film hrudaya kaleyam opened to a thundering response .\nif people like hrudaya kaleyam , i will try doing more crazy projects . otherwise , i will go the regular commercial way .\nfor once hrudaya kaleyam isn\u2019t a poor boy - meets - rich girl story . nor is it a triangular love story or story of faction heroes . hrudaya kaleyam is an out and out spoof on the hero - worshiping culture that exists in our film industry .\nhrudaya kaleyam , is a seriously made senseless scientific comedy love story . anyone who is habituated to leave their brains out at homes can resist and survive this comedy film . but others who seriously feel storytelling and film making needs to be sensible , a statuary warning - hrudaya kaleyam is seriously injurious to health !\nhrudaya kaleyam is said to be a parody of bad filmmaking in the telugu film industry . the film stars sampoornesh babu who became an overnight sensation after the poster of this film was released .\nhrudaya kaleyam is first straight film in telugu in this genre ( sudigaadu was little similar , but was a remake ) . one has to be tuned to sampoornesh babu and hrudaya kaleyam teasers in order to enjoy the film to fullest . the theater i have seen ( inox , gvk ) is full with people who came to theaters after getting impressed with trailers . they started chanting sampoo name and going through the motions of hero throughout . few of them dances in the songs and a few of them jumped out of chairs in the climax . hrudaya kaleyam is a film that should be watched in theater to enjoy it because the shouts and chants of fellow moviegoers are as entertaining as the content on the screen . watch it on a big screen and watch it with crowds . if you liked the trailers of hrudaya kaleyam , it\u2019s a must watch film for you in theater !\nrecovered the investment i have sold all the areas including overseas . when it\u2019s a tough going to sell satellite rights to tv channels , maa tv has picked up hrudaya kaleyam satellite rights . i am happy that we have recovered all the costs .\nwatch the latest trailer of burning and sensational star sampoornesh babu ' s debut movie hrudaya kaleyam . co - starring kavya kumar & ishika singh among others . produced by sai rajesh neelam on amrutha productions and vss creations jointly in steven shankar ' s direction .\ngenre : the idea is to make a stupid film with a funny hero . that\u2019s why i titled with a weird name \u2018hrudaya kaleyam\u2019 and gave a tagline of \u2018a kidney with a heart\u2019 . if you notice , the telugu translation of kaleyam is liver , but gave it as kidney in the tagline just to tell the movie lovers how funny / stupid the film is going to be .\nsai rajesh credited as steven shankar , the master mind behind this outlandish scientific lovestory and the eccentric character ' sampoornesh babu ' needs a standing ovation for his sheer brilliance and marketing technique . keeping the story and narration aside , he and his team behind hrudaya kaleyam needs a\noverall , hrudaya kaleyam has no story , but promises to entertain you for two plus hours . though it has been promoted as action comedy film , the film has all commercial elements and appeals to masala audience . it is a good time pass film for this weekend for those who only look for fun .\ncontrary to what lot of people think , hrudaya kaleyam is not a spoof film . hero does his work seriously , but the situation and orientation gives us entertainment . sampoornesh is acting as a petty thief who robs parts in electronic shops . the main story is all about why this intelligent guy robs electronic shops .\nwhat is going to be your next project ? singeetham srinivasa rao used to say that percentage of failure is 90 % for a routine film . but you will get appreciation if you make a different film irrespective of results . i made hrudaya kaleyam from a position of \u2018nothing to lose\u2019 and we managed to release it with profits .\non the whole , hrudaya kaleyam is a mad cap over the top masala film , which will be liked only by the multiplex audience . sampoornesh babu\u2019s hilarious act is the only drawing point of this film . those who are into social networking sites , and aware of sampoornesh babu , will like it . others can stay out of it .\ndirector steven shankar said he had no major expectations from the movie but the mystery kept the hype on . hrudaya kaleyam \u2019s online sneak - peek was not a case of momentary excitement over the trailer . curious movie - goers kept a close watch on the release of the movie and when it released , it reflects the logic - defying scripts and scenes with powerful dialogues .\ninspiration for hrudaya kaleyam i saw several serious videos of big heroes on youtube that give unintentional humor . these are pretty serious scenes in the film and people watch those videos to laugh their hearts out on youtube . i realised that people are looking for fun . i decided to make a film where hero is doing it seriously , but people get entertainment out of it . if i make such kind of film in a budget of 15 lacs , i am sure that i would make revenue from youtube and satellite rights .\nnever worked in direction department for a complete movie i got to know vn aditya and he was supposed to direct mugguru . just when i started work in pre - production of that film , vn aditya decided to direct tooniga tooniga for ms raju . after 1 and half years of work , vn aditya came out of project and decided to direct mugguru again . i didn\u2019t work for that movie and i joined vn aditya again for his latest film \u2018park\u2019 . i got the idea of hrudaya kaleyam after working there for a few days and came out to start it .\nhrudaya kaleyam rerelease / re release /

it went viral on social media .\ndear sai rajesh , a small doubt . . . isn ' t ' kaleyam ' means ' liver ' in telugu ? if so , why is the hero operated at the back where usually kidney ( ' moothrapindam ' in telugu ) is operated ? if not , how is the tagline ' a kidney with a heart ' justified ?\nif there is one man who has become the talk of the town , it is none other than sampoornesh

from nellore and am a huge fan of chiranjeevi . i used to watch loads of movies and wanted to make my career in film industry . i used to visit discussion board of urltoken and used to express my opinions on films . that\u2019s how i earned a lot of like - minded friends . i had networking with fans of various heroes across world . when i came to hyderabad to search for career in film industry , i stayed with a few of the friends i made through idlebrain discussion board .\nbut i had opportunity to meet and work with ms raju , paruchuri brothers , satyanand and singeetham srinivas during this period .\nwhen i was looking for such a hero , i found sampoornesh babu who came to prasad labs to watch a short film . i found him to be perfectly suitable for the role of hero . i narrated him the concept and asked if he would like to act in it . he replied me by saying that even if he is asked to act wearing only underwear in a busy road , he would do it .\nused red epic camera i have started shooting movie in guerilla warfare style . we had a very little as budget . we can\u2019t afford shooting location charges and police permissions . we used shoot the film in places where we don\u2019t need to spend money . i have started with 5d camera and found it to be time - taking as we need to spend a lot of time to adjust lenses for right focus . the quality of 5d camera is also poor . red epic is twice effective though costs more . in an hour , i managed 10 shots on 5d camera and 22 shots on red epic . i changed the camera in midway . we used to shoot for double call - sheets ( morning 7 : 30 to midnight 2am ) on alternate days .\nmaruthi invested and advised me to scale it up that is when director maruthi met me and said that i should scale it up with good production values in order to have a good theatrical experience . he has also invested in the film and asked me to shoot it in a budget of 50 lacs . by then i had invested 20 lacs and shot around 40 % of the movie . with an increased budget and increased confidence , i reshot the 5d part of the film again using red epic camera . i shot the initial 40 % of the film without heroine . i came to know about kavya kumar through mutual friends and signed her . by the time we finished the film , the budget shot up to 90 lacs .\nhowever , i have a script ready for sampoornesh babu\u2019s 2nd project .

health . \u2019 from there on there isn\u2019t a dull moment in this movie which is full of a debut cast . the hero sampoornesh babu , or sampoo as he is fondly called , is a thief the city and the state police are on the lookout for . the mastermind criminal leaves no clues behind . when they go to break a shop , the group is shocked to see a lock \u2018made in thailand . \u2019 enter sampoo and he says \u201cit could be made in china or made in thailand , the brain of an indian can crack anything . \u201d the theatre reverberates with claps and whistles .\nfor some reason he and his gang utilises electricity to break open shops and departmental stores and steals ready - to - eat food packets , pickles , mosquito coils etc . the siren of the police jeeps alerts the group and they disperse . in the meantime sampoo suspects a breach of trust and reels off heart - wrenching dialogues . the group member who has leaked the information falls at his feet and says , \u201ci gave information to black mamba , not to police , because black mamba first caught me , then caught my collar and then my throat . \u201d black mamba happens to be a contract killer whose target is sampoo . sampoo tells his accomplice : \u2018 mamba nannu vethakatledu , chaavu ni vethukuthunnadu . \u2019\nthis unfolds a flashback and it turns out that sampoo the thief , was originally an electrician , an orphan living on the railway platform , drinking water to quench his thirst and begged for toothpaste from people saying he would brush his teeth but in reality that\u2019s his food .\nsampoo falls in love with nilu , does a song and dance complete with robot steps but only to be spurned by his ladylove for not respecting indian culture and glorifying western dance . she says she would love a man who is 99 . 9 percent a \u2018real man . \u2019 dejected , he hangs out in a place where a few men are discussing their problem with software and computers . sampoo comes to their rescue and discovers samputer 1 . 25 that is powered by turmeric whose antiseptic properties kill viruses that corrupt software and hardware . sampoo\u2019s dance steps with two left feet too come with a \u2018statutory warning\u2019 , and the audience loves it . after a few more scenes and breathless dialogues , sampoo\u2019s lover is almost killed by black mamba and needs a new heart . the director doesn\u2019t disappoint us , sampoo takes the challenge after offering his own heart . but the doctor responds : \u201c gunde arigina gundi kadu . \u201d\nwhile the audience laughs and claps at the spoof , the movie disappoints in the acting skills . the audience seemed oblivious to it though . all actors appear very raw . some scenes looked straight out of a low budget slow telugu tv serial . the director seems to have handled the situation well , with one after another clich\u00e9d scenes comimg with a pun . the director has smartly avoided making the movie a spoof to belittle the telugu movie industry and larger - than - life heroes . it\u2019s just a fun take on typical masala movies .\nbottomline : go for a few good laughs without expecting any great acting skills .\nsome parts of

theater watched : screen 1 , inox , gvk one , hyderabad\nstory sampoornesh babu ( sampoornesh babu ) is a thief who steals various items from electronic shops and provisional stores . a battalion of cops headed by bhairav rathore ( mahesh kathi ) are searching for this mysterious thief who leaves no clues . a dangerous looking black mamba is frantically searching for sampoornesh babu . the rest of the story is all about why sampoornesh babu is stealing and what happens when cops catches him .\nactors : sampoornesh babu has funny looks . but those funny looks are not enough . he needs a good characterization and a director who can project him well . the image and following created for sampoornesh babu in social media has so much influenced the viewers that whatever he does on screen turned out into a great performance . this film will create a new genre and sampoornesh babu should nurture his career by acting selectively in films where the director can produce magic with him . if he accepts a couple of mediocre projects , he will be forgotten as hero . he has the special talent of dancing in a funny way as well as in a professional style as well .\nothers : new actress kavya kumar has a bit of features of actress roja ( pouting lips and similar eye / eyebrows ) . she does a decent job and her dubbing is cute . kathi mahesh is impressive as a short and funny police commissioner bhairav who has a thing for smelling . guru charan played the role of doctor . most of the actors in the film are new . ishika singh did a glamorous role .\nthe entire police department is clueless about one person ( sampoornesh babu ) who is behind huge robberies in the city . higher officials deploy a special team to nab sampoornesh babu .\nthey work hard towards the case , and finally get a clue and manage to catch sampoornesh babu . here comes the real twist in the tale . the officer who nabs sampoornesh babu , knows him and his love life from the past .\nthe officer asks babu , as to what situations have led him to do all these robberies . rest of the story is as to how sampoornesh babu reveals his past love story , and also the reason as to why has he has done all these robberies .\nundoubtedly , sampoornesh babu is the biggest and the only asset to this film . as expected , sampoornesh does not disappoint at all . he dances , fights and the most hilarious part is he even invents a computer by his name samputer .\nthe moment he lands up on screen , the crowds go crazy . his dialogues and they way he has shown crazy expressions are hilarious . punch dialogues mouthed by sampoo are highly entertaining .\nthe way certain satirical sequences have been executed look good on screen . the actor who did the police officers role performed well .\nfirst half of the film is high on comedy and so is the climax . female lead kavya kumar , looks good and performs well in her role .\nas expected , logic goes completely missing for a large part of the film . even though this film is satirical , a number of scenes go a little over board .\nother than sampoo\u2019s efforts , there are major issues in this film . a number of scenes are left unanswered through out the movie . clarity on the first heroine\u2019s role , and several other characters lack justice .\nafter a decent first half , the second half is dragged at least by 10 to 15 minutes and makes us to loose the excitement . those who are not aware of sampoornesh babu , and cannot handle over the top emotions will not enojoy this flick .\ncamera work is decent . even though it is a low budget film , the visuals look rich . production values are good and so is the rest of the cast .\nthough songs are just average , they do not spoil the flow of the film . dialogues need a special mention here . the one liners written for sampoo are hilarious and will remembered for a long time .\nediting is ok , but at least five to ten minutes in the second half , should have been easily chopped off . screenplay of the film is pretty good , as it holds the audience with just sampoo\u2019s screen presence .\ndirector stephen shankar has done a decent job for his debut flick . he has nicely amalgamated stories from blockbuster films and has cleverly set it in a satirical way .\nclick on the menu icon of the browser , it opens up a list of options .\nhere click on the \u201cprivacy &

deserves a special mention . he has heaved each and every scene from cellar to ceiling with his back ground score .\ncinematography and editing were good . they have upped the standard of the film .

spiderman and jurassic park . \u201d he asks rhetorically . \u201cthose are called \u2018vittalacharya - films\u2019 here . the movie - literacy level of this group is very low . \u201d\ndirectors cv sridhar , bhimsingh and bimal roy catered to \u2018group b\u2019 . \u201cthe works of these directors speak to the audience\u2019s heart . they tap their sentiments . bharathiraja\u2019s and k balachander\u2019s movies too fall under this category , \u201d he says . the last group comprises films that were made by filmmakers like satyajit ray . \u201cthey engage with the mind . \u201d\n\u201ca filmmaker should be clear about his target , \u201d says rajeshwar . the financial viability of a project is also determined based on who receives the movie . \u201cif a film is made for the majority of the audience , then one can play with the budget . but if it is experimental , it has to be limited . those who can afford to produce a film regardless of the return can explore . the government could also provide funding based on the merit of the artistes . \u201d\nrajeshwar , who has been observing tamil cinema for long , reckons that films have gone through \u201ccosmetic changes . \u201d but content - wise , the industry hasn\u2019t kept pace . \u201cit might even go worse . i was told that if aval appadithan were made today , it would be a blockbuster . i don\u2019t agree , for it\u2019s still taboo for a woman to talk about her sexual encounters . the profile of the audience should change . \u201d [ quote align = \u2019left\u2019 ] \u201di often state that writers should be paid 2 to 2 . 5 percent of a film\u2019s budget . but writers are neither paid well nor respected well . they are the first ones to be forgotten . \u201d [ / quote ]\nalso , the films that had initially seemed progressive succumbed to societal beliefs . \u201ceven in the so - called progressive films of balachander or sila neragalil sila manidhargal of jayakanthan , the chastity of women is preserved sacredly . in balachander\u2019s arangetram , lalitha becomes insane with guilt . \u201d\nrajeshwar points out that telugu and tamil fans worship the stars . \u201cdoes that happen in kerala and bengal ? literacy , social and political consciousness reflect on art . art is the reflection of culture . \u201d\nbut , a filmmaker\u2019s success lies in the way he works within , and manipulates the established boundaries , he says . \u201cdirectors make a lot of compromises , i do too . however , filmmaking is a business . we have to get our investment back . rudhraiya made two films . the second one bombed , and he couldn\u2019t make another one for 35 years . \u201d even when a film is made in a conditioned environment , the creative freedom won\u2019t be curbed , he observes .\n\u201cwhat is excellence ? it is all about how one creates something better despite all the limitations , with available talent and technical support . \u201d still , there will be highs and lows and one must stay positive , he points out . rajeshwar has only made a handful of films in the last four decades . but , he continues to write stories regularly . he would always tell his students that a story takes wings as soon as the writer finishes . it flies on its own accord , reaches a producer , and comes back at the time when it has to be made into a film , he grins . \u201ca writer has to be optimistic and imaginative like that . \u201d\n\u201cit took me about 10 years to complete kovilpatti veeralakshmi . and when it released , there were mixed reactions . critics panned it . \u201d but rajeshwar isn\u2019t the one to take criticism seriously . \u201cfirstly , there are no critics like roger ebert here . some still write reviews using phrases like , \u201c olipadhivu kulkuluvena irundhadhu ! \u201dbut i do take some into consideration . and i was slightly low after the release . commercial fallout of the film did affect me . \u201d\nand , it paid off . for around that time , a friend introduced him to rajkumar santhoshi . over dinner at taj , the duo discussed cinema and books for hours . rajeshwar was invited by rajkumar to join him in mumbai if he had a story to spare .\nrajkumar , who had been making films with big stars , was advised by rajeshwar to make one with upcoming artistes .\n\u201ci wish you could become a brand yourself , \u201d rajeshwar had told him .\n\u201cyou give me a script . i will make one , \u201d was santhoshi\u2019s response . and that\u2019s how , ajab prem ki ghazab kahani took shape . the premise was based on a telugu movie , soggadu , but rajeshwar wrote it afresh for santhoshi .\nrajeshwar has now written the script and the songs for the tamil remake , which will be directed by one of his sons .\nbesides writing and direction , rajeshwar has also been busy translating vairamuthu\u2019s songs into english . he was introduced to vairamuthu by bharathiraja , with whom rajeshwar had worked on scripts and story discussions . \u201ci learnt the nuances of commercial cinema from the discussions i had with bharathiraja , \u201d he recalls .

playing plays of jean genet ( whose the maids and the balcony can be seen as sources of a sort for the film ) to the organized anarchy of the living theater . even those less politically or culturally au courant could take pleasure in the film , its action frequently taking the form of the sort of pageant common to campus \u201crush week\u201d activities , holiday parties , or \u201cspring break\u201d gatherings .\ndisc # 1 -

paul belmondo . this brought him to the attention of united artists , one of the hollywood studios most actively searching for new talent to import from among europe ' s growing stock of daring young directors , among them truffaut , michelangelo antonioni , louis malle , and costa gavras . after a french premiere late in 1966 ,\nbut there\u2019s yet another route through film history , one that\u2019s taken every now and then by a movie that somehow\u2014without any special pleading or prodding\u2014has been discovered by moviegoers all by themselves . more than merely admired , these films are loved with a passion bordering on the fanatical . devotees will gladly see them again and again . for these films have been placed well beyond the pale of ordinary entertainment\u2014they are \u201ccult\u201d objects . and among movie \u201ccults , \u201d none is quite so special as the one that has grown up around king of hearts .\ntwo decades of posters from the career of the \u201caffable angry young man . \u201d\nwhy was a film first thought pass\u00e9 so suddenly , and so dramatically , in vogue ? a quick look at its plot supplies the answer .\ndavid ehrenstein has been writing about film and gay politics since 1965 , for a wide variety of publications . his books include the scorsese picture : the art and life of martin scorsese , open secret : gay hollywood 1928\u20132000 , and masters of cinema : roman polanski .\nthe film\u2019s theme and message\u2014who\u2019s crazy and who\u2019s sane\u2013are familiar from other works . on one level , the movie illustrates the notion that the certified insane of this world are a lot saner , or less lunatic , than the madmen who persist in making lunatic war . among other counter - mainstream ideas , the film depicts the revenge of patients on their stuffy and pretentious shrinks .\nstylish and offbeat , \u201cking of hearts\u201d became a cult favorite on campuses across the united states , because it was released during the height of the vietnam war and the flower children . the movie enjoyed a five - year run in a tiny house in cambridge . the reason for that , as one critic suggested , is that cambridge , home of harvard and mit , has more psychiatrists per capita than other cities in the u . s .\n( 1966 ) , french director philippe de broca ' s comic anti - war fable , was not a commercial hit upon its release , but it soon became one of the most enduring cult favorites of its time , and its popularity continues in many circles to this day . even considering the somewhat heavy - handed obviousness of its message and the whimsical approach de broca took to the story , the film resonated with a generation of non - conformists and opponents of the viet nam war . the notion that those deemed insane by society may actually be saner than the people who put them away was , of course , a highly romanticized view that glided past the painful realities of mental illness . still , the questioning of authority and senseless brutality was reflective of the counter - culture movement in much of the literature and drama of that era , and it reached a peak of mainstream acceptance with the multiple academy award - winning\nswiping its titular character\u2019s name from a 1966 spaghetti western directed by sergio corbucci , tarantino utilised his trademark flair for ultra - violence and nihilistic humour to create the perfect meeting point between revisionism and classicism . django channeled brutality in the name of righteous fury , allowing the freedom fighting slaves of a pre - civil war deep south their own legendary cowboy of the john wayne or clint eastwood type . - cl\ni guess you could say i didn ' t appreciate the style of the film , it was visually very well done , but the story was just a little too silly for my . . .\nwhile named hearts in atlantis , the novella ' s 2001 adaptation -

of - your - seat stuff , and succeeded by not patronising his audience - trusting that even if they didn\u2019t understand the music theory detail , they would still be able to revel in it . unfortunately , it might just be too small a film to be remembered as a \u2018classic\u2019 , but will certainly be circling the top of \u2018best movies about music\u2019 lists for some years to come . - ch\nstill for all its carnival airs , there\u2019s a level of poignancy to king of hearts that comes through most clearly . the sequence of the mad people\u2019s arrival in the town ( chapter 5 ) in which a series of carefully choreographed actions is played off against one of georges delerue\u2019s loveliest scores , has a gracefulness comparable to the best of ren\u00e9 clair . and there\u2019s a real emotional charge to the scene where plumpick ( chapter 13 ) discovers that the bomb is set to go off in three minutes . he\u2019s horrified , but his lady love coquelicot seems unperturbed . \u201cwe still have three minutes ! \u201d she says matter -

called\nreal - world\nis even crazier if not equally as crazy as the world of an insane asylum . the conclusion of the film really illustrates this well , that an insane asylum is much preferable to fighting in the trenches of wwi ( aka hell on earth ) . if you can handle the fellini -

- i was the cinematographer , cameraman , editor , producer , writer and director of my movies . it ' s tiring , but fun , and this school helped me learn the process of filmmaking . after all of this i can now make real movies .\nloris curci , the producer , whose story this is first told me about his idea maybe three years ago when he asked me if i could make a teaser poster for the project . we were working together on hidden in the woods , but he was still looking for investment from a production company at that time .\nit\u2019s a difficult question for me . i think that for many years filmmakers and artists established the genre , and then a lot of filmmakers have made movies because the genre has influenced their lives . influences in my childhood were music , such as metal , thrash and death metal with all their cover and poster art and lyrics . and of course , there are a lot of genre movies that i picked up on and which inspired and influenced me to try to make genre films .\nspeaking with british genre filmmaker christopher smith , he remarked :\ni think horror has become utterly boring . that\u2019s not to say that the horror genre is tiring to me , but everybody has got to pull their socks up a bit and start to dig a bit deeper . the stuff that is being churned out and that people are turning into blockbusters is mostly utter shit and it\u2019s just about finding a way to move on from that .\nwhat are your own feelings towards the horror genre ?\nfirstly , i ' m a fan of christopher smith\u2019s work . this question about horror and if it ' s difficult to create something original today - - yes , i feel that ' s true . there are a lot of talented people working in the movies , comics , and music , in this \u2018media world\u2019 , and filmmakers need to take time with an idea . i like to shoot , edit and market my movies in a way that is different and original .\nby the way , the big problem for me is that the audience likes to see these movies with very fast and simple stories . for example , with my previous movie downhill , that screened at frightfest in 2016 , a lot of people were bothered by the fact that i left things in the plot without explaining them . but why do we have to explain everything ? i love to watch experimental movies and imagine for myself those things that are not in the story .\nof course , and i\u2019ve made movies and i can say to you that i\u2019m not the same person that i was before . you\u2019re learning about the creative process , and taking away an experience that will help you to shoot a better movie , and you could be learning about a new culture . i\u2019m a chilean director who shoots movies in the us , turkey , and bulgaria , and that informs you .\nit ' s a testament to zevin ' s understanding of multiple age groups that she ' s able to capture a variety of women at various life stages . her portrayals feel honest and true .\nvisual artist / silos frontman walter salas -

up background check , and eventually got the casino license .\nmelania is definitely a beautiful brunette . but he ' s had several blondes in his life \u2014 his exes are blonde . . . and he likes my look . he loved it when i would wear my scarves , and he would comment ,\nlook at miss oregon , the way she wears the scarf , she looks like grace kelly .\nat his interview with a series of people , ben reveals that he used to work for a company that made phone books . the interviewer ( nat wolff ) also asks him where he see himself in the next ten years and then realises the question really doesn ' t apply . he tells him that he did great in his interviews and video and is quite overqualified for the job .\ntrump , in his phone call to me , said he \u201chardly knew\u201d weichselbaum .\nwith the show first premiering more than a decade ago , and with its successful celebrity spin - off still on the air , the apprentice was a televisual juggernaut , at its peak watched by close to 30 million people . it did wonders for the trump brand , and the stakes were arguably just as high for those competing for his approval , with professional reputations and careers on the line . urltoken interviewed 18 former candidates \u2014 those on the apprentice were candidates , not contestants , because it was a classy reality tv experience , thxvm \u2014 for insight into their would - be boss ( and , in one case , actual boss ) as he remains the gop front - runner , with a campaign largely based on his business expertise and no - holds - barred brash talk . below , their thoughts :\nchristian sets out to see lamar ' s sister , believing her to be behind the plot . as he pulls up to her home , he sees a suspicious man exiting her building . he follows from across the street , and we see that it ' s the assassin . the assassin seems to know someone is following him though he never turns and looks . he then quickly pulls out his gun and fires two shots at christian , who ducks behind a car . when he peers out , the assassin is gone . christian enters the building and finds that lamar ' s sister is dead .\nhe ' s a big personality on and off screen , [ but ] he was less intimidating than i was expecting . i definitely feel like he appreciates strong women \u2014 but he wants women to be strong in a way that ' s traditionally\nfeminine .\ni mean , i ' m a feminist through and through . i think he wants women to act like women in the stereotypical sense , and i believe that he has very specific views on gender roles and that he thinks that women can be powerful and strong , but in the context of acting the way that , quote unquote , a woman should .\nhe is to cut it into pieces . . . including the head and the fat . and the priest shall arrange them on the burning wood on the altar .\nnow , in an extra negative note , i wouldn ' t at all be surprised if neither one of you end up with a promotion at the end of this year . but because you ' re going to be working on developing your relationship with your boss , you ' ll know what he values and you ' ll be in a much stronger position than you were last time around .\nhe does not hear from her for a few days . nonetheless he makes himself productive , getting to know the ropes around the place and learning how to deal with the technology . he helps whomever he can and is referred of \u2018mr . congeniality\u2019 by cameron . in addition , he also gives old school sensible advice to the youngsters when they need it , such as telling jason to talk properly to becky for cheating on her since his evasive text messages did not get any response .\nafter he took christine hostage , guards opened fire on them and they retreated to the roof . she told him that everything was a hoax , but he didn ' t believe her :\nthis business connection proved useful when trump began work on what would become trump tower , the 58 - story high - rise where he still lives when he\u2019s not at his florida estate .\nin the six months before serving his prison term , he resigned from the magazine when he was hired by aging , reclusive , brooding and obsessed 82 year - old industrialist henrik vanger ( sven - bertil taube ) . he was commissioned to find the truth about the disappearance ( was she dead or not ? ) of henrik ' s favorite 16 year - old niece harriet vanger in the fall of 1966 , 40 years earlier , from a family reunion / board meeting at their retreat on hedeby island . harriet was the daughter of henrik ' s brother gottfried . mikael was chosen to find out about her , because he was often baby - sat by harriet . it was known that a crash of a fuel tanker truck on the only bridge from the island had blocked access for 24 hours , causing henrik to believe one of the detestable vanger family members was responsible .\nchristian drives to his home , which is very bare . he has no art or photos or any decorations in the house . he owns exactly one plate , one fork , one knife , one spoon , and prepares himself dinner . he is highly ritualized in the way he prepares his food . he continuously shows small tics , like blowing on his fingers before picking up his fork . later in the evening , he goes into his bedroom and turns on a strobe light and loud , heavy metal music . he picks up a small , wooden rod and uses it to roll on his leg muscles . he is trying to remain calm , subjecting himself to the stressful stimuli until his alarm beeps and it ' s time to take his zoloft .\nonce again , cole and dylan sprouse have reminded us why twitter is their world and we ' re just tweeting in it . over the weekend , cole shared an inaccurate\nnews\nheadline about why hollywood won ' t work with the sprouse twins after years of childhood stardom . instead of just looking at his computer screen and muttering\nwtf ,\ncole did what he does best : tweet like an absolute boss .\nas a matter of fact , if you quote me saying ,\noh , he would be a terrible president ,\nwhich i believe he would be , then he would probably mean - tweet me , you know ? i ' m certain that would be the response .\nthe next day , her meeting with the ceo takes longer than most of her meetings so far . when she is done , she tells ben that she hired him on the spot , though the ceo told her to sleep on it . back at home she informs matt and tells him she thinks it will be great for \u2018us\u2019 . he asks who the us refers to , and she clarifies that she meant jules and matt , not about the fit . however , she breaks down as she is taking a bath that night , showing she is clearly unhappy with her decision .\nray tells this story to marybeth and then tells her that he planned to retire right away and give up the job , but on the way out the door , he gets a phone call . he picks it up and it ' s the voice , tipping him off to a human trafficking ring . he gets the credit for the case . he later gets another tip about drugs coming into the country , and he is again credited for the case , raising his profile and success at the agency . marybeth realizes that all of ray ' s successes came from the voice . ray then reminds her that he ' s retiring soon , so someone else needs to take the voice ' s calls . at first , marybeth refuses . then the phone in christian ' s house rings . she answers it , and the voice tells her to tell ray to get his feet off the coffee table .\ni felt like the reason we got along so well is because i ' m a really strong , powerful women . there were other women [ on the show ] who he was clearly attracted to and who didn ' t have the same kind of business attitude that i did ; he treated me quite differently than he would treat . . . a beauty queen . he treated me so respectfully . and i think he treated them very well too , but i don ' t think he really looked at them in terms of their business [ credentials ] . he would joke around with them more \u2014 you have to have beautiful people on tv if you want your show to work !\nthere are two of us in equal positions at my office . the excuse our manager used for not promoting either of us was that there could only be one promotion and therefore it would not be forthcoming this year because if one was promoted the other would make too much fuss . since that time this other employee has been determined to undermine me with our boss by finding fault with everything i do , even to point of saying i am not qualified for my job , lied about my number of overtime hours and quoted me as saying i thought he was an idiot . i find my boss is buying everything she says . what can i do at this point to help save my job and bring attention to fact she is deliberately trying to get herself promoted by sabotaging me .\ndonald trump , as busy as he is , he took the apprentice very , very seriously . i do not exaggerate when i tell you that some of the boardroom deliberations lasted several hours . donald knows what ' s going on . he makes really , really thoughtful and insightful decisions . when i worked for him for that year after i won the show , i oversaw the renovation and marketing of a home on palm beach that ultimately sold for $ 95 million . even in that experience , donald trump was really involved in everything when it came to the house \u2014 i mean , what fixtures would be used in the bathroom , what type of marble or stonework . he made a lot of the day - to - day decisions . and i think that ' s ultimately why he is successful . he was never a micromanager , but he knows where he should step in and be involved , and he knows when to let other people take the ball and run with it .\nhe strangled her as he forcibly held her over the car hood . during the strangulation , there were two views of the victim - one of jessica being killed , and one of annie who was envisioning the murder . afterwards , collins deposited jessica ' s body in the misty swamp water .\nif you haven ' t met donald trump [ in person ] , you have this opinion of him from the media as this scary guy who fires people , you ' re like , o h my god , it ' s donald trump , he is going to eat me alive . but he really surprised me ; he is really personable [ and ] he puts you at ease . i felt very comfortable around him . and he remembers the little things , like the names of my kids , where i lived in texas , it was just weird that there were so many of us , but he just remembered everyone .\nultimately i did a great job on the show , so when donald fired me , he called the day after said he still wanted to hire me . [ he said ] that he would be willing to offer me a job , he was very impressed with me , but the producers wouldn ' t allow him to technically do that until the day after the finale .\nthe next day [ after the finale ] ,\nhe said ,\ni ' d like for you to come to my office and meet with me .\nso that ' s what i did . he had his son and daughter give me a tour of his offices , and i was able to meet with lots of his staff , people that had been with him for years . and then i went back into his office and he gave me two job offers . i ended up [ turning him down ] . i wanted to pursue a career in entertainment . he was shocked , but then i think he also respected my decision . he said ,\nyou know what , i am surprised , because these would have been big moneymakers for you , but you need to follow your heart .\na shy bookkeeper accidentally discovers that the company where he works is targeted in a series of late - night robberies .\nas he was walking along the deserted , blackened beach , he was whistling and relieved that his killing days appeared over . he was contemplating ending a life of brutality and violence ( by throwing his shotgun into the water and moving abroad ) . but then he was shockingly and depressingly assassinated by a single shot in the forehead from sniper fire - from a man named\nj\n( identified from his signet ring near the trigger , in close - up ) .\nclaire underwood invited meechum into the house for coffee and while he was inside a vandal threw a brick into the underwood home . meechum ran outside to try and catch the vandal . when meechum saw him running away , he fired one shot at the vandal . meechum came under fire for the incident and it was presumed he would lose his job because he fired his gun in a residential area . meechum then appealed to frank underwood to help him save his job . frank decides to call meechum ' s boss , cardiff , to save meechum ' s job . frank ' s reasoning was that it required so little of him to do something so big for meechum . meechum resumes his duty with frank ' s detail . come to find out it was actually stamper who threw the brick as per frank ' s direction to lure the teacher ' s union into a deal .\nthey take off for san francisco the next day . jules tells him she knows there ' s something he isn ' t telling her since he doesn ' t look directly at her and blinks little . he admits to being a softy despite his manly exterior and suggests they enjoy their first class plane ride .\nafter he fired me , he offered me a job in real life . when the cameras stopped rolling , he said ,\nyou tried really hard , you did great , i tried to defend you , but your team just wanted you gone . . . majority rules .\nbut [ he said ] he was very impressed with my intelligence , my drive , and that i ' d be more than welcome to come work for the trump organization . i actually thought the contestants were worse to deal with than he was \u2014 most of my teammates were a nightmare to deal with . he was not that bad . is he harsh in the boardroom ? absolutely . [ but ] the american people that he ' s tapping into , they respect his toughness . again , it ' s not my brand of politics , [ but ] i think many of the republicans , those who underestimated him are , i think today , after south carolina , realizing what a huge mistake that was .\nand here was my current beau \u2014 an actual relationship prospect , so i thought \u2014 sitting in the dressing room chatting happily with the model we ' d hired to be his stage girlfriend . i busted in on the two of them getting their hair and makeup touched up and , hands on hips , scolded them :\ndo not go up on the roof . it is not safe , it is not legal and if i hear about anyone doing it again , our production is shut down .\nmartin admitted he left behind no bodies like his father had , by dumping his corpses in the sea . when he was found out , martin almost killed mikael by hanging him in his underground torture cellar , but was saved by lisbeth at the last minute . she watched as his fleeing vehicle crashed , overturned down an embankment , and caught fire , and his immobilized body was incinerated in the blaze . she had no sympathy for him , unlike mikael :\nhe was a killer and a rapist and he enjoyed it . . . he wasn ' t a victim . he was an evil motherf - - ker who hated women .\na humble heart always goes a long way , and the one thing that we very rarely see from donald trump is a humble heart . that ' s not a part of his brand . i will say he is smart and i do believe that he does know what he ' s saying and i do believe he does know why he ' s saying it . he knows exactly the audience he ' s going after . trump is a person who spins and reframes things because he ' s focused on being perceived as victorious , as perfect . [ it ' s about ] how to make what ' s imperfect work for you \u2014 i did learn that from being a competitor on the apprentice , and i ' ve used that throughout my life ; however , i won ' t use it to the detriment of other people . that ' s a difference .\nbraxton challenges christian to fight back , asking him why he ( christian ) didn ' t turn to him for support , and he ' s always been there for him his whole life . christian does fight back and they finally end up on the floor , both tired . lamar enters the room and asks what the hell is going on . christian abruptly shoots lamar , and then offhandedly apologizes to braxton , saying he had to finish what he started .\nfrom the beginning , trump tried to have it both ways . while he leveraged roy cohn\u2019s mob contacts in new york , he was telling the fbi he wanted nothing to do with organized crime in atlantic city , and even proposed putting an undercover fbi agent in his casinos . in april of 1981 , when he was considering building a new jersey casino , he expressed concern about his reputation in a meeting with the fbi , according to an fbi document in my possession and which the site smoking gun also posted . \u201ctrump advised agents that he had read in the press media and had heard from various acquaintances that organized crime elements were known to operate in atlantic city , \u201d the fbi recorded . \u201ctrump also expressed at this meeting the reservation that his life and those around him would be subject to microscopic examination . trump advised that he wanted to build a casino in atlantic city but he did not wish to tarnish his family\u2019s name . \u201d\ntrump mused that he might run for president in 2016 , and he thought he ' d probably be running against hillary . wolfgang encouraged him , as did most of my team and his wife , melania . melania is ridiculously hot , by the way . and smart . so is ivanka . people say trump is a misogynist \u2014 and who knows , maybe he is \u2014 but he ' s definitely not afraid to be surrounded by some badass women . well , as long as they ' re badass and attractive .\ni would really characterize the apprentice as donald trump ' s baby . he took an enormous amount of pride in the show . he was more involved than i thought he would be \u2014 one thing that t he apprentice reinforced for me is that donald trump is , is a brilliant marketer . a brilliant brand evangelist \u2014 for his own brand . there ' s a fundamental misunderstanding of just the amount of xenophobia within the republican party . and i think that donald trump has picked up on it and he ' s tapped it . that ' s what he does . what a brilliant marketer does is they tap into people ' s concerns , desires , and they speak to them .\nthe ' ghostwriter ' wrote the sentence on a piece of paper , passed through a number of hands to ruth , and shortly after , as he stepped outside with the original manuscript , he was run - down ( off - screen ) in the street ( the same thoroughfare in the film ' s opening ) . he was murdered like mcara , in order to silence him - or were both deaths just an accident ? his manuscript papers blew down the street in the wind as the film faded to white before the credits .\nbut trump was not clean as a whistle . beginning three years earlier , he\u2019d hired mobbed - up firms to erect trump tower and his trump plaza apartment building in manhattan , including buying ostensibly overpriced concrete from a company controlled by mafia chieftains anthony \u201cfat tony\u201d salerno and paul castellano . that story eventually came out in a federal investigation , which also concluded that in a construction industry saturated with mob influence , the trump plaza apartment building most likely benefited from connections to racketeering . trump also failed to disclose that he was under investigation by a grand jury directed by the u . s . attorney in brooklyn , who wanted to learn how trump obtained an option to buy the penn central railroad yards on the west side of manhattan .\nlater on , he would call me \u2014 after a miss universe pageant , or a miss usa pageant .\nwhat did you think of the winner ?\nhe ' d ask .\ni don ' t know , i thought maybe the runner - up or , you know .\nit was just , you know , normal conversation . and so we got to know each other a little bit more . i just always feel like he cared . when i got married , he gave me a really great deal on his country club in palos verdes ; access hollywood decided to film the wedding and he flew out . i ' d said ,\nhey , do you want to come out and film something at the club ?\nhe said ,\nall right , i ' ll be in the area . i only have about 15 minutes though .\nwell , once he was there and once the cameras were going , it was like , he was there as long as was needed . i will say , he does not mind the cameras ."]}

39 would have set in a year earlier . true , german forces and defences in autumn 1938 were nowhere near as strong as they were by spring 1940 . but britain ' s forces were at that time proportionally still weaker . given the pressure to act , the weakness of his adversaries , and his own temperament , hitler would probably have invaded france in 1939 , which would have necessitated some ( temporary ) deal in the east with the poles or the russians . the french may well have caved in as they did in 1940 .\n, a screwball mystery featuring glenda farrell and otto kruger as the detective couple . unfortunately , the screenplay gives the couple\u2019s relationship no time to develop , and the mystery gets short shrift until the very last part of the film . based on an unpublished story by george l . bilson called \u201ccandid camera girl , \u201d it\u2019s an odd little film that doesn\u2019t seem to have a narrative center . ostensibly the film is built around farrell\u2019s character , a wisecracking magazine photographer reminiscent of the reporter she played in\nan interesting period picec showing us what was amazing in 1938 . gosh , ma , a fake accident ring suing for $ 25 , 000 ! ! ! i guess projected into the 21st century it would amount to a lot of money . the acting would amount to pure 21st century ham . nice to see the president as a hard -

feet of drop - load kodachrome ii super 8 film housed in a black plastic cartridge known as a\nkodapack .\nthis cartridge was extremely easy to load , as the film no longer had to be threaded in the camera or flipped . each super 8 camera also had a built - in filter allowing\ntype - a\n( tungsten ) film to be used in different kinds of light , eliminating the need for both\ndaylight\nand\ntype - a\nfilm forms . notches on the front edge of the film cartridge would automatically indicate whether the filter was needed . these notches also indicated the speed of the film . the cameras themselves had a die - cast metal body and were operated by a battery - powered motor , which replaced the need for a hand - crank . kodak ' s different models - - the m2 , m4 and m6 - - had different lenses , with the top - of - the - line model including a 12 to 36mm zoom lens and reflex through - the - lens viewing . the models were priced at $ 46 . 50 , $ 69 . 50 and $ 174 . 50 , respectively . while bell & howell offered competing super 8 models , kodaks were unquestionably the most popular .\nbut there are many other newspapers covering the story , and with kruger is back in the district attorney\u2019s office the truth is bound to come out . what farrell doesn\u2019t put together is the fact that , if the wrong man was executed for murder , then the real murderer must still be out there and could also have something to do with the daughter\u2019s death as well . director harold schuster began his career in the sound era as a film editor , and this was only his sixth film and his second for universal . frankly , his style is not very good . he uses very few close ups , but almost all of the film is two shots and full frame exteriors that are reminiscent of poverty row productions . glenda farrell and otto kruger are tremendous actors and if there is any value in the film at all in this film it is because of them . herbert mundin does fine for what he\u2019s given , but it\u2019s nothing that any good character actor could have done . the rest of the cast is decidedly sub - par , and the screenplay doesn\u2019t help . the mystery and the romance should both have been amped up and made the driving force of the film . as it is ,\nif you\u2019ve never seen this film , please , please find a copy and watch it this year . i promise you won\u2019t be disappointed . and the dvd is only $ 5 from amazon ! it\u2019s even available on blu -

split 8mm film to produce an even more compact , lightweight camera . in 1938 , the universal camera corporation put out an incredibly inexpensive single 8mm camera for only $ 9 . 95 , with a companion projector for $ 14 . 95 . the overall reduction of size and cost , and increased accessibility made 8mm the favorite format for hobby amateur filmmaking , a format that would remain essentially untouched for nearly 30 years .\npotassium iodide oz 3 resublimed iodine oz . 1 water oz 64 the film is allowed to remain in this solution for five minutes or more after which it is washed and dried and is ready for use .\nbefore 1938 there was no incompatibility between hitler ' s long -

producing ultimately the moral and physical ruination of his country .\ni agree that mgm mounted an amazingly good adaptation in 1938 . the only other version that i\u2019m truly fond of , in fact , is the 1984 one with george c . scott . it\u2019s very faithful to the book , and scott did an impressive job bringing scrooge to life without overplaying him ( as many less talented actors are apt to do ) . the \u201938 one is a nice , economical version of the tale , but it feels rich . it hits all the most important aspects of the story , and as you point out , it\u2019s so perfectly cast . with so many legendary actors , and such marvelous photography and direction , this film is the golden age of hollywood in a nutshell .\nsolidification should preferably commence about ten ' feet from the knife 4 and at this point the temperature of the cement under the surface of the film may preferably be about 120 f .

since his okkadunnadu , a film about a rare blood group , got an encouraging opening and impressed the city crowd .\nworst review , best movie i ' ve seen in the last 10 months . fullhyd seems to uplift films like dor , but fails to recognise good and catchy themes like okkadunnadu . okkadunnadu is a brilliant attempt by our telugu director and thoroughly engrossing fare , it was . he ' s for sure the ace director in tollywood now .\ni am not sure whether the hollywood guys have seen our movies while writing the plot but here is a movie which is very similar to a telugu movie called okkadunnadu .\nokkadunnadu is a telugu movie , directed by chandrashekhar yelet , starring gopichand , neha julka along with others . here , on the movie page , you will find every thing that you need to know . get the up - to - date news updates of okkadunnadu , as it happens . check out what others are saying about the movie on twitter .\nfrom one of the most underrated directors of south india , chandrashekar yeleti , came one of the most underrated movies , okkadunnadu . the novelty of the concept of \u201cokkadunnadu\u201d failed to reach the audience as it was supposed to . the movie revolves around protagonist with a rare blood group and the ironically , the movie is one of those rare attempts where all the usual norms of indian thrillers were broken . till date , the movie is not even well appreciated even among telugu audience . \u201cokkadunnadu\u201d is a rare cinematic experience and deserves to be watched and recognized .\ndon\u2019t you think there is void in okkadunnadu due to lack of contribution from gangaraju in the writing department ? it is a tricky question . yes . i would have had more creative discussions with him . he would have suggested me better scenes .\npeople are commenting that music of the film is not up to the standard of keeravani . what do you say ? i feel that okkadunnadu music is appealing . i personally liked adugadugu and i say enjoy songs . the masses are liking \u2018obbo veedento\u2019 song .\nchandrasekhar yeleti seems to be out to prove a point , namely that he too is capable of making a standard masala movie . the question that pops to mind is ,\nwhy ?\nthat being said , okkadunnadu works pretty well as a run - of - the - mill flick . thanks to yeleti , . . . .\nfive minutes into okkadunnadu , the villain makes his mark ( literally ) by trying to pull off a henchman ' s ear . literally tear it off , in the manner in which one tears off a leg from the rest of the chicken in your biryani . this somewhat funny yet ominous scene should give you an inkling of how the rest of the movie will shape up .\nokkadunnadu , undoubtedly my all time favorite telugu film , i ' ve seen this film twice in the theater , on the same day and countless number of times on tv and youtube . gopichand is fantastic in the film , his histrionics , body language and performance were of top notch . he excelled in the action episodes . okkadunnadu is not a regular commercial telugu film , entertainment levels are less , but still bramhanandam & giribabu were hilarious at times . the movie sticks to the point and never deviates , the story becomes clear once the actual thread is revealed . there is a reason behind every move that gopichand makes . the dialog ' s made lot of sense specially when mahesh manjrekar says\nnee gunde dhairyam chavali kaani nee gunde bathakali\nclearly reveals the intentions of the villain , and that ' s what makes gopichand invincible . chandrasekhar yeleti , who earlier gave aithe & anukokunda oka roju , now comes with another different concept . the direction and the screenplay were great . his direction specially for the ruthless action scenes was awesome . i loved this film to the core , a perfect 10 / 10 . thanks to chandrasekhar yeleti , thanks for being in tollywood , thanks for making okkadunnadu . . . kudos ! !\nwhat is the feedback you are getting about this film ? i got appreciation from film industry a lot for the film anukokunda oka roju but not many phone calls from the public . i did not get any appreciation from film industry for okkadunnadu , but getting good response from the public and they seem to be liking it . i did not make this film for critical acclaim . i wanted producer to make money .\nmahesh vaman manjrekar is an indian film director ,

complete action film sans the entertainment though the telugu film makers always fall short of good stories , creative directors like chandrasekhar yeleti were able to present a little different from routine subjects and his films like aithe and anukokunda oka roju prove this statement . he prepared a tailor made story for gopichand who had earned a mass image with films like ranam and yagnam . cherry , who had worked as executive producer for some films , has produced through this film . the story had a good action backdrop and a major part of the film was shot in mumbai .\ngauthami ( neha jhulka ) is a real estate agent in mumbai . she brokers deals with the buyers and sellers and gets paid commissionwise . she arranges a deal between gowri shankar ( suman ) of sri venkateswara bank , hyderabad , and a seth ( raghubabu ) in mumbai , for the sale of a guest house in mumbai . as per the agreement , there is three months time for registration . however , gowri shankar ' s son kiran ( gopichand ) comes to mumbai and demands the money immediately . though gauthami tries very hard to convince kiran that it may not be possible to complete the deal early , the latter did not listen and want to complete the deal saying that he needed urgently needed money .\non the other hand , there is a mafia don called sonu bhai ( mahesh manjrekar ) , who needs an urgent heart transplantation and looks for a person who has a typical blood group called mumbai group . despite several efforts , the entire mafia gang was not able to get a person with that rare blood group . incidentally , kiran has the same blood group and the goons catch him . however , kiran escapes as he was alerted by the nephew of sonu bhai ( rahul dev ) , who eyed his property . from then on the chase begins between kiran , gauthami and sonu bhai ' s men . in fact , kiran ' s father gowrishankar who started a private bank suffers losses .\nthe customers attack the bank on learning about the losses demanding the return of their deposits . in order to recoup from it , he needs urgent deposits from other banks to safeguard the interests of the customers . kiran and gowrishankar approach a finance secretary janakiram ( tanikella bharani ) in the central government who could influence the rbi and he demands rs 4 crore as bribe . so kiran reaches mumbai to collect the sale proceeds which could be given to him . now , sonu bhai ' s friend jayadev ( nazar ) calls up chandrasekhar and promises rs 200 crore deposit . following a call from his father kiran meets jayadev and sonubhai , who agree to deposit the money but in return wanted kiran ' s heart . after a lot of mental struggle , kiran decides to take away the money as sonubhai is threatening the seth against buying his guest house . finally , kiran goes to sonubhai ' s hotel and takes away rs 100 crore by thrashing all his goons . he also destroys the lifesaving machine arranged to sonubhai . the film ends with the death of sonubhai and jayadev ' s suicide as he could not stop kiran .\nplus points the macho man physique of gopichand , his ease in action scenes and histrionics are the major plus point of the film . the choreography of action scenes is another highlight . cinematography by jayakrishna especially in action scenes and the use of digital intermediate technology in action scenes and in a couple of songs was also appealing .\nminus points though the villain is said to be a big mafia don who threatens the entire mumbai was portrayed as a puppet . there are several loopholes in the characterization of the villain . an ordinary man thrashing the men of a mafia don and taking away of rs 100 crore looks like a joke . in an attempt to elevate the hero ' s image , the director let down the villain ' s role in the film . despite a gripping screenplay , the poor portrayal of the villain spoiled the entire film . music by keeravani is just okay . but for the gopichand ' s solo song shot abroad , no other song is worth watching . the heroine ' s role was also downplayed . there was no scope either for performance nor a good choreography in songs to highlight her glamour .\nfinal remarks : when compared with the earlier films of chandrasekhar yeleti , this film looked a little poor as he looked compromised in certain scenes to boost the image of the hero . the director tried to rewrite the medical science by creating a rare blood group . lack of comedy is another major minus in the film . there is absolutely no comedy track and the 5 - minute comedy bit involving giribabu , brahmanandam is not appealing . it is not known why the director had kept a brother to the heroine and the scene could be totally avoided . it is just an okay film for those who like action films . the film might run well in b , c centres because of its mass appeal with good action scenes . can be recommended to watch once only if you are interested in action films .\ncast : gopichand , neha jhulka , mahesh manjrekar , nazar , giribabu , suman , raghubabu , rahul dev , tanikella bharani , brahmanandam , hema , rupa and others .\ncredits : dialogues - siva cinematography - jayakrishna gummadi music -

anukokunda oka roju ' have a tint of difference , came up with a good script , which fits gopichand to the ` t ' .\ncherry who worked as executive producer , ventures into production with this film . the backdrop of the film is perfect for action , and a major part of the film was shot in mumbai .\ngautami ( neha jhulka ) is a real estate agent in mumbai , helps gowri shankar ( suman ) of hyderabad to sell his guest house in mumbai . as per the agreement there is three months time for registration . however , gowri shankar ' s son kiran ( gopichand ) calls on gautami and demands the

chase sequences between kiran , gautami and sonu bhai ' s men .\nkiran reveals to gautami that his father started a private bank and filed bankruptcy . in a bid to save his self - respect , he needs urgent deposits from other banks to safeguard the interests of customers . they approach finance secretary janakiram ( tanikella bharani ) who could influence the rbi , but the latter demands rs 4

and sonu bhai , who agree to deposit the money but in return demand kiran ' s heart . kiran falls in the classic dilemma of his life or his father ' s self - respect .\ngopichand with his histrionics and action timing is the highlight of the film . the action scenes by allan ameen and ram laxman , keep the audience on the edge of their seats . cinematography by jayakrishna and the use of digital intermediate technology in action sequences and a couple of songs was quite appealing .\nchandrasekhar yeleti , a champion of gripping screenplay passes yet again with flying colours . music by keeravani is okay . lack of a separate comedy track can have a negative effect on the film . the director was able to carry the whole film on action and was able to cater to the masses .\ncredits : dialogues - siva , cinematography - jayakrishna gummadi , editing - mohan - ramarao , music - keeravani , producer - chiranjeevi ( cherry ) , story , screenplay and direction - chandrasekhar yeleti .\nthere are few young directors in tollywood who have created their own brand with just two films . chandrasekhar yeleti has created his signature style with his earlier films\n. unlike them , his third offering is more of a commercial film though he has chosen a rather different subject hitherto unexplored element of a villain hunting for a guy who has ' bombay blood group ' . based on this theme , the director has a perfect hero in gopichand as the man fighting for vengeance .\nis a regular commercial film but shot in eye - catching manner with superb visuals and adrenalin pumping action sequences . in fact , the film largely focuses on these elements , thereby loosing the grip on the content especially in the second half . but the film presents hero gopichand as a new poster boy .\na bankrupted bank owner ' s son kiran ( gopichand ) comes to mumbai to sell off their house . he approaches a real estate agent gowthami ( neha julka ) to clinch the deal . while he is on that deal , mumbai mafia don sonabhai ( mahesh manjrekar ) learns that kiran has what he is looking for - a heart with the rare blood group , bombay blood group .\nsonabhai has the same group and he suffers from cardiac problem and has to undergo heart transplantation urgently . sonabhai wants kiran ' s heart by hook or crook . now it is our hero ' s mission to survive himself and also get money as quickly as possible . how would he achieve this forms rest of the film !\nthe first half is racy and holds the interest with some amazing action scenes . but soon it peters out to an ordinary commercial potboiler as there is not much substance . even the climax is abrupt . lack of entertainment and romance between the lead pair does not go well with the common audiences .\nthe film is perfect vehicle for gopichand to get new image . he does it with ? lan as he looks so urbane in chic dresses and excels in the action sequences . newcomer neha julka is okay . mahesh manjrekar is the real scene stealer . he looks awesome in the villain role . nazar plays villain ' s aide while brhamanandam ' s comedy is a saving grace .\nis brilliant with gummadi jayakrishn ' a excellent photography , and editing is slick . mm keeravani ' s music is not great but he scores in re - recording . in a nutshell , the film is an average flick which caters to urban audiences .\nwelcome

to help him out in getting the money soon instead of the agreed time of six months . sona bhai ( mahesh manjrekar ) is an influential mafia don in mumbai who needs an urgent heart transplantation . his blood group ( bombay blood group ) is rare as very few people in india belong to the same blood group . as sona bhai runs out of options , his men desperately search for a healthy man from whom the can get heart for their boss . apparantly kiran also belongs to the same blood group . and the rest of the story is all about the tussle between kiran and sona bhai .\ngopichand : kiran role in this film adds a new addition to gopichand\u2018s arsenal . he changed his dialogue delivery and body language to suit the role of a city - based guy , brought up in sophisticated environment . he looks extremely flexible and comfortable in lethal action sequences .\nothers : neha julka is adequate as female lead . she looks more beautiful without a bindi ( bottu ) . mahesh manjrekar is good as mafia man suffering from health problems . nassar played a vital role of villain\u2019s close associate . rahul dev is extremely good in a different character . giri babu plays heroine\u2019s father . the comedy bit by brahmanandam in second half deserves special mention .\nstory - screenplay - direction : story of the film is different . though the storyline is very thin , director chandra sekhar yeleti made sure that there is enough logic behind every move hero makes . he also created the screenplay in such a way that hero has a strong reason behind staying in mumbai though hounded by the villain\u2019s gang . at the same time , goons can\u2019t be ruthless on hero as they want him alive and healthy . that gives hero the power of invincibility . chandra sekhar canned action sequences extremely well , but the romance thread between the lead pair is under developed . one unappealing thing about the narration of the film is that the subject is too serious and the director did not try to mix some humor in narration of the film the way he did for his earlier two films .\nother departments : cinematography by jaya krishna gummadi is neat . we definitely expect better music from keeravani for this film . the songs shot in dubai by krishna vamsi offer some relief . dialogues by koratala siva are good . there are some intelligent dialogues in second half like \u2018nee gunde dhairyam chavali . kaani gunde bagundali\u2019 . artwork by ravindar is realistic ( especially heroine\u2019s house set by the bay ) . fights composed by allen amin , ram lakshman & vijay are first rate . production values by clap entertainment are good .\nanalysis : first half of the film is neat and it lays very good foundation for the battle between the hero and the villain . second half is filled with series of action sequences which makes it redundant . the way gopichand takes 4 crores from villain is good ( it\u2019s more of psychological than physical ) . the climax of the film appears little abrupt . the plus points of the film are taking of chandra sekhar yeleti and action sequences . the main draw back of the film is lack of relieving entertainment . chandra sekhar made sure in his earlier films ( aithe and aor ) that however serious the subject is , the narration is in lighter vein with nice humor . that humor is missing in this film . violence is excessive . the fate of the film depends on how family crowds take it .\nhome ] [ editorial ] [ movies ] [ trade ] [ audio ] [ research ] [ celebs ] [ nostalgia ] [ usa special ] [ hyd scene ] [ amchi mumbai ] [

was inspired a lot from our ' swathi mutyam ' . there are many other hollywood films , which were inspired from our films .\n) was a 1986 telugu film written and directed by k . viswanath . the film stars kamal haasan and raadhika in the lead roles . the movie won accolades at asia pacific film festival in both\nbest film\nand\nbest actor\ncategories . the movie is about an autistic person who defies existing social customs and traditions for a good cause . the film was sent by india as its official entry for the best foreign language film for the academy awards in 1986 , but was not nominated .\nroku has just about every app you can imagine ( youtube , pandora , netflix , amazon , hulu , hbo now ) .\nbollywood and hollywood are two lowly terms for the global idea of cinema . but one very vital example of an english film borrowing material from indian cinema is this . . .\nv shantaram ' s classics were among the first indian films to make an impact abroad .\nboth the films are masterpieces in their own ways . the english film came 10 years after the hindi one . both are humane tales of leadership , and moral evolution .\nanother example , though not hollywood and bollywood , is an english film loosely based on a bengali film . satyajit ray ' s ( the greatest auteur of indian cinema ) ' charulata ' was remade into ' forty shades of blue ' .\navatar from malayalam film

.\n: mohanlal finally joins hands with the colony residents and fights against his company .\nfinally through some research based on the comments - i have realized that this could just be a universal theme coincidence . thank you guys . it was fun though\nand both the movies are directed by telugu movie director s . v . krishna reddy\n, thinker , reader , iitian , coder , writer , salsa dancer and a pretty good bluff . . .\nwhich gained huge popularity . this was later planned to be made into a movie\nwhich was to be directed by himself and produced by columbia pictures . however this did not materialize ( as could be seen in the link ) .\nthere are many articles on the internet which give a lot of insight on this . . . one of the articles read :\nthis may be news to many and surely an interesting one . it is said that it was the master film - maker\nwho was originally responsible for the ' friendly alien concept ' to be filmed later . he also had a complete outline of a script ready which was based on one of his own short story titled\nthe famous spielberg movie , \u201ce . t . \u201d is actually said to be based on the plot penned by the great ray . the outline and the rough script of the idea kept roaming into several production houses in hollywood before it was made as \u201ce . t . \u201d and there are many detailed stories associated with this . however the fact is not officially accepted .\nhere the interesting thing is that after many years our own film makers found their inspiration from spielberg ' s \u201ce . t . \u201d for making their \u201ckoi mil gaya\u201d ( 2003 ) talking about a friendly alien .\nor just search \u201csatyajit ray & spielberg\u201d and there are numerous references on the web .\nwhen i seen this question , in a fraction of that second i recalled 2 movies . obviously hindi movie and copied by english movie as stated in question .\nso first i checked whether anyone has covered it or not . but to my surprise it is not . ( that\u2019s why i got to answer this question . : )\nbut looking at the plots of both the movies , they are totally same .\na group of people are sent to some strange place as part of their training as agents or something like that ( watched a long back ! ! ) . there when they start to settle , they start being killed one after the another . a great suspense thriller .\nthe thing to notice is if you think that this is a hero , he would die next . if you think that this is the villain who is doing these murders , he would die next . ( this is not a spoiler ! ! so if you want to watch the movie , go ahead . this information will enhance your experience of suspense . )\nthe biggest thing hollywood copied from the bollywood is the theme music for the movie mission impossible .\nthis theme music which we remember as the tom cruise music has been exactly note to note copied from the bollywood movie blackmail .\nyes exactly copied all the music - right from the siren at the start to the end music .\nbut if you care to validate then go to youtube and search for the movie blackmail . come to the climax of the movie where the bad guys are trying to capture the actress ( rakhi ) and the hero is saving her . you will see the same music track of mission impossible\nedit : i had no clue regarding the mission impossible television series . sorry . lot of guys have suggested and thus i came to know that the theme music is inspired from the mission impossible television series which was aired from 1966\u20131973 . the film blackmail ( 1973 ) , clearly has copied this theme from the tv series .\nthere ' s not a hollywood movie i have heard as completely copied or inspired from an indian movie . it ' s often vice versa . however there ' s this one sequence from kill bill .\nit seems tarantino was inspired by the animation sequence in the 2001 tamil film\naalavanthan\n( hindi : abhay ) . the kill bill\no - ren ishii japanese\nanimation sequence was adapted from that .\napparently tarantino admitted in a private conversation with anurag kashyap that the celebrated animation - action sequence in kill bill was inspired from 2001 tamil film , kamal haasan starrer , aalavanthan .\nwhen contacted , kashyap says , \u201cyes , sight and sound critic naman ramchandran first told me this . so when i met quentin in venice i asked him whether the manga sequence in kill bill was inspired from an indian film and he excitedly remarked , \u2018yes , i saw this indian serial - killer film which showed violence as animated . \u2019\u201d\nkashyap explains , \u201cthere is only one indian serial - killer film which was made before kill bill where violence was animated , and that was abhay / aalavanthan . \u201d\nkamal haasan , who starred in aalavanthan , has his own take on the compliment . \u201cwhen i did the animation action sequence 12 years ago it was seen as self - indulgent and odd by a lot of people . now that it has been endorsed by a filmmaker of such brilliance , critics will be kinder to some of the things i attempt in my films . \u201d\nthe hollywood movie was heavily critisized for its misleading name as it was based on a love triangle rather than on the incident of pearl harbor itself .\nin both the movies , protagonist has a rare blood group type and incidentally meets the villain who has the same blood group type . villain suffers from some disease and needs the blood from the protagonist . so the rest of the movie is whether the villain gets that blood from the protagonist or not !\nas per the question and it ' s comments goes , plot is something very basic as i have told in three lines above . the movie can be made in various ways . for example using the same plot above\nget the gringo\nis made completely different as a crime movie inside a prison . the characterizations of the actors can also vary . in the original the protagonist is a very soft spoken guy who comes to mumbai to sell his plot whereas in gtg , mel gibson is a badass character with lot of negative traits .\ni have read the comment on the question which basically says some of the answers are wrong here . i am sorry but the question is so loosely asked . you could have asked what are some of the hollywood movies which are remakes of indian movies rather than asking about the plot being copied !\ni don ' t know much about copying or being inspired by the whole plot , but there ' s a telugu movie called ' athadu ' .\nin the movie , the protagonist mahesh babu plays the role of an assassin who is hired to injure a politician in such a way that he gains sympathy from people . but someone else kills the politician and he is framed for it .\nthat part of the movie was taken in a hollywood movie called ' the international ' where a politician in shot in the same way in a meeting in brussels .\ni believe hollywood doesn ' t have time ( at least these days ) to watch movies of an entirely different language group , that too indian languages , let alone copy them , as most of them are money spinners lifted or inspired from other foreign movies . i bet most hollywood filmmakers have watched satyajit ray ' s works at best . . . that too ends with the apu trilogy for most among them ! they have more relevant languages with relevant cultural similarities ( such as french , spanish , italian , etc . ) at their disposal , if they are intent on ' copying ' a movie . most indian movies had officially started remaking ( and later copying ) foreign films from the late 60 ' s . prior to that , i don ' t think indian films had that much foreign exposure ( except for satyajit ray ' s works ) . having said that , many instances have been taken inspired , so to speak , from indian movies , but most were limited to ' copying ' certain scenes and loose plots or subplots . but i can only coin et as a copied movie , based on satyajit ray ' s abandoned script ,\nthe alien\n. no matter how much spielberg denies the allegations , there are just to many proofs against him . because of that scandal ( and numerous others around that time ) , hollywood has become sly and wealthy enough to remake movies rather than wasting money on court cases and mutual settlements . i am personally looking forward to the english remake of kahaani and rumored remake of munnabhai mbbs as trendsetters for official hollywood remakes of indian movies . that would inspire more script writers and directors to work with original concepts ( and induce confidence among producers to support such projects ) , rather than following a set of ' masala movie ' formulas , just to earn money at the box office . only time will tell what ' s in store for us !\nthough not ' bollywood ' , there are a few indian films ( which is different from bollywood ) which have been adapted to hollywood & american indie cinema ( which are also quite different entities ) . the most significant example is satyajit ray ' s script of ' the alien ' which was usurped by the same studio to whom he submitted it and was converted into spielberg ' s ' et ' . another example , also of ray , was that of ' charulata ' , that was transformed and adapted to a contemporary american context and made into ' forty shades of blue ' which the director ira sachs has proclaimed is a tribute to the ray film . mira nair is also making a hollywood film based on ' munnabhai ' . there is an entire 15 minute closing scene in the american film ' my family ' which is a shot by shot copy of the last scene of ray ' s ' apur sansar ' ( the world of apu ) ."]}

( reuters / aly song )\nwhile \u201cunder the dome\u201d called for action , the action the chinese government took wasn\u2019t what chai had in mind . after the initial surge in viewers for the documentary , the government blocked access to the online video .\nbut most have welcomed her initiative in producing the documentary with her own money . despite the criticism of government policy the video was not blocked . the website of people\u2019s daily , the main communist party newspaper , was one of the first to post under the dome . by sunday evening , however , popular chinese websites had removed prominent headlines and links about under the dome from their front pages .\n' under the dome ' by chai jing hasn ' t been banned , which suggests the government is allowing debate on environmental issues ahead of the country ' s annual parliament session in beijing .\nbut , before the end montage offered most of the main players a relatively quiet dome - free life ( for now ) , they endured an expectedly bloody , illogical end to the dome .\nbeijing \u2014 \u201cunder the dome , \u201d a searing documentary about china \u2019s catastrophic air pollution , had hundreds of millions of views on chinese websites within days of its release one week ago .\nafter a week of passionate public discourse over the film , the central propaganda department told websites on friday to remove \u201cunder the dome . \u201d mr . zhan , the journalism and media studies professor , said officials had waited through the week \u201cto see what would happen , in sort of an opportunistic strategy . \u201d\nanti - pollution film offline , \u201d bbc . com , 7 march 2015 ,\nproduced and narrated by chai jing , a former investigative reporter for chinese state television , the film\nunder the dome\nis in the style of a ted talk or an activist al gore documentary , looking at the grim state of air pollution in china and what can be done to remedy it .\nanother weibo user quoted by reuters wrote :\nsome people have the power to completely smother chai jing ' s under the dome on the internet but don ' t have the power to smother haze in this country .\nas resources dwindle , big jim holds a census in order to forecast how long chester ' s mill can continue to exist under the dome , while chaos ensues when a rainstorm turns into acid rain .\nas of saturday , the film was no longer available on popular chinese mainland video sites .\nfounded in 1999 , senses of cinema is one of the first online film journals of its kind and has set the standard for professional , high quality film - related content on the internet .\nthis is a personal grievance between me and the smog ,\nchai says in the film .\nunder the dome , a slick production by a former reporter for the state broadcaster , has gripped a public accustomed to griping about the smog . but perhaps the most striking thing about chai jing\u2019s film has been the sympathetic response that it has elicited from at least some in authority , despite its relative boldness on a potentially controversial subject .\ncalled\nunder the dome ,\nthe film released online by former china central television reporter chai jing cites weak enforcement of environmental laws and poor fuel standards among the causes of the smog . it was the most searched topic on search engine baidu early monday , and was played 21 million times on video - sharing site youku . com .\nfor a show that practically winked at the screen every other scene , under the dome didn\u2019t end in such a ridiculous fashion . all things considered , the last moments of \u201cthe enemy within , \u201d are unpredictably\u2026 simple , maybe even a little expected .\nsince its release online on saturday , under the dome has notched up some 100m views on major chinese video portals such as tencent and youku . it has also prompted 280 million posts on sina weibo , a microblogging site .\nthe above paragraph , in the context of virtually any other political subject ( democracy , constitutionalism , human rights ) would have gotten the film scrubbed from china\u2019s internet . but \u201cunder the dome\u201d is still readily available online , although china digital times reports that chinese censors have ordered media outlets not to \u201cfurther promote\u201d the documentary and to carefully \u201cregulate\u201d public opinion .\nmany western news reports compared under the dome to the al gore - narrated climate change documentary an inconvenient truth ( davis guggenheim , 2006 ) 3 , with both films drawing on the format of \u201ctedx\u201d talks by notable thinkers and innovators , sponsored by the non - profit organisation the sapling foundation . these talks have achieved widespread popularity through their dissemination online since 2006 . 4 another frequent point of comparison with chai\u2019s film was rachel carson\u2019s 1962 book silent spring , a bestseller that drew attention to the toxic effects of unrestrained pesticide use in the post - war period . 5 while the influence of al gore\u2019s tedx - style film in particular is obvious , these international analogies elide under the dome \u2019s relationship to a range of chinese documentary traditions little known in the west , including a long - standing expository documentary lineage and a more recent history of personalised , activist work . chai jing\u2019s film is notable for its online release , viral impact and the sheer scale of its viewership , but it is not without local precedent . understanding the local context from which under the dome has emerged helps us grasp the long , complex and ongoing interplay between documentary images , state controls and public opinion in china during the post - mao reform era \u2013 an interplay in which under the dome is but the latest instalment .\ntitled \u201cunder the dome , \u201d the film is an impassioned production by chai jing , a well - known journalist who left china central television last year shortly after the birth of her first child . since its release online on saturday , it has racked up some 100 million views on major chinese video portals such as tencent and youku .\nrenowned investigative journalist chai jing has been widely praised for using her own money - more than 1 million rmb ( $ 159 , 000 : \u00a3103 , 422 ) - to fund the film , called under the dome . she first started the documentary when her infant daughter developed a benign tumour in the womb , which ms chai blames on air pollution .\nafter finding themselves outside the dome , barbie turns to his estranged father for help , and sam reunites with pauline .\na potential exit from the dome is revealed just as the walls begin closing in on those trapped in chester ' s mill .\nin one particularly harrowing scene in \u201cunder the dome , \u201d a doctor pulls out pieces of lymph node from a female lung cancer patient in her 50s . they are filthy and blackened from breathing the air , though the woman has never been a smoker .\nbut interest in chai ' s film chafed a bit for some longtime players in environmental circles .\nunder the dome\nalso debuted just a day after china named a new environment minister , chen jining , who was plucked from his post as president of the prestigious tsinghua university . the move was a rare example of china appointing a minister who didn ' t come up through the bureaucracy , and chen reportedly sent chai a text message congratulating her on the film .\nabove all , under the dome hooks viewers with chai\u2019s account of learning that her unborn baby had a tumour and might not survive surgery to remove it . though the girl is thriving , her story conveys the human cost of pollution as perhaps nothing else could .\nviewers commenting on the film on the sina web portal expressed both approval of chai ' s efforts and frustration at the government .\non sunday , at the closing press conference of the national people\u2019s congress , a reporter from the huffington post asked chinese premier li keqiang what the government was going to do about some of the accusations in the film . rather than attack the film , he replied :\nthough most of the facts presented in\nunder the dome\nhave been widely presented in foreign and chinese media , chai ' s celebrity and her approachable style ( she uses a cartoon to illustrate what pm 2 . 5 means , for example ) resonate .\nin the past three weeks , an online documentary about air pollution in china called \u201cunder the dome\u201d has done exactly that for the peoples\u2019 republic . made by a well - known china central television newscaster chai jing , the film drew more than 150 million viewers in the first days after chai posted it online . in the film , chai , dressed casually in jeans and a white blouse , paces back and forth on a stage in what is essentially a 143 - minute ted talk \u2013 with devastating effect .\nthe film generated a huge , emotional response online , including angry comments directed at china ' s political authorities .\namong those interviewed in\nunder the dome\nare xie zhenhua , deputy director of the powerful national development and reform commission ; han jun , deputy director of the communist party ' s central finance affairs office ; and xiong yuehui , director of the science standards office at the ministry of environmental protection .\nthe support from state media is especially interesting given that the film dips a toe into the dangerous waters of public activism , something china\u2019s government is generally quick to censure . in the film , chai predicts that china\u2019s people will grow tired of a poisoned environment :\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nalthough river elegy and the story of its reception has been suppressed in china since the military crackdown that ended the tiananmen movement , as a senior journalist at cctv chai jing is likely aware of this history . certainly under the dome resembles river elegy to the extent that it was timed to influence government policy during a period of rising social tensions and uncertainty over future directions within the ruling elite . under the dome was released online just six days before the opening of the annual session of china\u2019s parliament , the national people\u2019s congress ( npc ) , on 5 march 2015 . although the npc\u2019s main role is to rubber stamp decisions made in advance by the ccp , its annual meeting places the spotlight on the party - state\u2019s policy directions and provokes a certain degree of discussion amongst the media , academics and the general public . under the dome was clearly intended to be a high profile intervention in these debates , advancing the case for the enforcement of environmental regulations and a more sustainable approach to economic development .\nwhile the local documentary context from which under the dome emerged has been outlined above , the film\u2019s precise relationship to the state remains a more open question . in one sense the film sits in a growing tradition of critical chinese documentary work concerned with exploring fault lines in the country\u2019s stressed social fabric . yet the circumstances of its release and apparent endorsement in some official quarters also suggest its imbrication in power plays within the ruling elite . whatever the state\u2019s relationship to this particular work , however , the staggering 300 million clicks the film inspired demonstrates the ongoing importance of documentary in china\u2019s public discursive field , especially in an environment where official media and television remain so tightly controlled . the audience size also speaks of deep societal anxieties the authorities would be ill advised to ignore .\nunlike the cctv - produced river elegy , chai jing made her film independently , but she does appear to have enjoyed some very high level assistance , including support from the national broadcaster , where she worked until she became pregnant in 2013 . 12 there was backing from another key state - owned media outlet as well \u2013 in addition to being posted on major commercial chinese video hosting sites like youku , chai\u2019s film appeared on the website of the communist party\u2019s official newspaper people\u2019s daily , along with an interview with the director . the day after the film\u2019s release , china\u2019s newly appointed minister for environmental protection , chen jining , praised under the dome at his first press conference and compared it to silent spring . 13\nthen on friday afternoon , the momentum over the video came to an abrupt halt , as major chinese video websites deleted it under orders from the communist party\u2019s central propaganda department .\nthe film\u2019s extraordinary success owes much to promotion on the website of the official people\u2019s daily and other state - run media . the environment minister has also praised it .\nthe second season of under the dome , a science - fiction tv series based on a stephen king novel of the same name , consists of thirteen episodes . it premiered on cbs on june 30 , 2014 and concluded on september 22 , 2014 . filming of season 2 again took place in north carolina , usa .\nmade by renowned investigative journalist chai jing and funded with her own money , the film sharply criticises the chinese state ' s lax environmental laws .\nalvin lin , the beijing - based china climate and energy policy director of the us - based environmental group the natural resources defense council , said :\nthey ' ve made a big deal about air pollution in the last couple of [ legislative meetings ] . under the dome made it so they really really have to talk about it .\nunder the dome ,\nmade by a popular former reporter from china central television , was released online saturday . by monday , it had been viewed more than 150 million times on video portals , dominating social media such as wechat and weibo in the way the blue - black dress phenomenon recently swamped the internet in the u . s .\nthe fact that the film was not censored and was posted on the website of the people ' s daily , the communist party mouthpiece , indicated a substantial degree of official support .\nultimately , \u201c under the dome \u201d would have been much better off , in hindsight , if it had built toward and delivered a genuine ending in its first year , following the limited - series format that has been adopted elsewhere . that certainly would have allowed for a more direct adaptation of king\u2019s lengthy novel .\nat that point , the government came rushing in , determined to sweep the whole aliens - among - us thing under the , er , rug . that allowed for a one - year flash forward , and the fleeting possibility that the dome\u2019s captives might really move on with their lives , with barbie and julia ( rachelle lefevre ) finally settling down .\nin\nunder the dome ,\nchai admits that for years she was not worried about pollution and never wore a face mask . but she became concerned about china ' s dirty skies after discovering during her pregnancy that her unborn child had a benign tumor . she reportedly financed the $ 160 , 000 project herself .\njust after the chinese new year \u2013 and only a few days before china\u2019s \u201ctwo sessions\u201d meetings of the national people\u2019s congress and chinese people\u2019s political consultative conference \u2013 a new documentary has caught fire on china\u2019s internet . the film , titled \u201cunder the dome , \u201d investigates china\u2019s pollution problem , providing visceral evidence of the inescapable problem of smog . the documentary , released on saturday , had over 147 million views on the chinese video site tencent by monday evening . it\u2019s available on youtube , with a rough english translation .\nchai has said concerns about her daughter\u2019s health prompted her to quit her job and invest her own time and money to make the film .\n\u201cdespite the censorship of \u2018under the dome , \u2019 there are still reasons to be hopeful about the future of china\u2019s environment , \u201d said georgetown\u2019s lewis . \u201cchina has become far more confident on the international stage in its environmental diplomacy , and this will hopefully lead to increased confidence in allowing for difficult conversations about the tradeoff between environmental protection and economic growth at home . \u201d\nin terms of the chinese documentary context , there are also important differences in the way films of the 1980s like river elegy and under the dome construct their expositional voices . where the former uses a disembodied address claiming to represent the views of a whole social group desiring to lead china\u2019s future , chai employs a more embodied , individualised form of address to talk to her audience as fellow citizens . it is here the film echoes developments in another important component of china\u2019s contemporary mediascape \u2013 the activist strand of filmmaking that has developed over the past decade .\nremember those initial reviews of \u201cunder the dome , \u201d most praising its considerable promise ? and what about the gaudy ratings , giving cbs a rare summer hit ? that all seems a lot longer than three seasons ago , much less the four weeks that actually transpired within the show\u2019s universe . after running in increasingly preposterous circles ( somewhat appropriately , [ \u2026 ]\na small new england town is sealed off from the world by an enormous transparent dome that inexplicably appears and forces the area ' s inhabitants to deal with the post - apocalyptic situation .\nthis brief overview of local precedents to under the dome shows that the film , in addition to being inspired by foreign works such as an inconvenient truth and the tedx talks , has emerged from several decades of documentary activity aimed at influencing both state leaders and public opinion inside china . the film\u2019s didactic verbal address , carefully timed release , and support from certain sections of the official media and state bureaucracy echoes river elegy \u2019s earlier deployment of the documentary form to intervene in public debates . more recently , an activist strain of filmmaking within china\u2019s independent realm has foregrounded a personalised documentary \u201cvoice\u201d embodied in the filmmaker\u2019s onscreen presence , to forge emotive representations of public issues frequently excluded from official media . the influence of this contemporary lineage is evident in the way chai constructs the voice of her own film in a personalised manner to achieve its rhetorical effect , and her bypassing of traditional broadcasting and film exhibition by rapidly disseminating her work on the internet to generate online public commentary and debate .\nnow though , perhaps alarmed by the massive popularity of the film , the government has stepped in to muffle it , with the film removed from video sites like youku and tencent ( it is still available on youtube , which is blocked in china ) . an interview with chai on the website of central news organisation people\u2019s daily has also been removed along with a posting of the film itself , and earlier last week there had been directives to media prohibiting reporting on it .\nremember those initial reviews of \u201c under the dome , \u201d most praising its considerable promise ? and what about the gaudy ratings , giving cbs a rare summer hit ? that all seems a lot longer than three seasons ago , much less the four weeks that actually transpired within the show\u2019s universe . after running in increasingly preposterous circles ( somewhat appropriately , given the shape of its otherworldly enclosure ) , the dome came down , along with the curtain , in what turned out to be the series finale . although the last hour didn\u2019t exactly provide closure , it\u2019s hard to argue the end came prematurely .\nwhile laws may be stringent in china , enforcement is another question : to date no manufacturers of such lorries have yet been punished under the law , ms . chai says .\nunder the dome also highlights the trade - off that china has made between economic growth and protecting the health of its people . when chai asks an official why they cannot close factories that break environmental laws , he replies : \u201cyou must be kidding \u2026 how many people are employed by virtue of 10 million tons of steel ? one hundred thousand people . \u201d\nunder the dome opens with a graph charting beijing\u2019s horrific air pollution in january 2013 , and chai jing\u2019s voice explaining the chart\u2019s content . we then see her strolling across a stage in front of a screen as the lights come up , intercut with overhead shots of a large studio audience she is addressing . throughout under the dome , chai uses the screen to display various other graphs , charts and quotes to support her verbal claims about china\u2019s shocking levels of pollution , its myriad causes and some possible solutions . the screen also punctuates her talk with what are essentially a series of short films within the feature documentary , explaining particular points through news - style reportage , narrated animations , and interviews with various academics , industrial chiefs and government officials .\nthe film\u2019s release comes just days before the start of china\u2019s most public annual political event \u2013 the meetings of the national legislature and a government advisory body . the environment is expected to figure prominently among the topics discussed .\nli yan , the climate and energy campaign manager at greenpeace east asia , said the hundreds of millions of hits generated by the film and the subsequent public discussion were \u201ca huge step forward\u201d .\nbig jim rallies the town against barbie after framing him for the murders and the shooting of julia . joe and norrie move the mini - dome to ben ' s house but it soon begins to act strangely .\nstill , he said , it was a\ngreat thing\nthat the film was raising awareness \u2013 though he questioned how long the\nfever\nmight last .\nmoreover the film\u2019s director , journalist chai jing , had input from chen\u2019s ministry , with officials explaining how little leverage they have with public and private industry to enforce anti - pollution laws . prior to the film\u2019s release she sent this interview footage to other government teams , and began a dialogue with them .\nthe film drew hundreds of millions of viewers after it was posted online last week , and there were government officials amongst its admirers . the environmental protection minister , chen jining , had said in a news conference as the film was launched : \u201ci think this work has an important role in promoting public awareness of environmental health issues , so i\u2019m particularly pleased about this event . \u201d he compared it to silent spring , the film that kickstarted a backlash against pesticide use in the us .\nimportantly , china ' s censors have done little to stifle the conversation surrounding the film , and in some sense it has received the government ' s imprimatur . chen jining , the country ' s new environment minister , praised chai and the film on sunday , saying it reflected\ngrowing public concern over environmental protection and threats to human health .\nthrough these examples , we can see that under the dome contains clear traces of the young , activist strain of documentary making that has developed in china on the heels of hu jie\u2019s pioneering work . chai jing\u2019s film draws on some of the methods used in these activist documentaries to construct a personalised , embodied form of address from a chinese citizen ( the filmmaker ) to a wider public of fellow citizens ( the audience ) . she marries this personalised voice with an overtly expository approach in the shape of a fast - paced , engaging lecture , also placing the film within china\u2019s longstanding tradition of using didactic , expository documentary films to impart ideas to a broad audience , sometimes with a view to influencing top leaders and their policy formulations .\nin \u201cunder the dome , \u201d heavy truck makers don\u2019t install pollution control devices and use phony compliance stickers instead . self - regulating oil refiners produce diesel with high sulfur content . steel manufacturers lack pollution controls while many coal - fired power plants turn off scrubbers that reduce soot and acid rain because the scrubbers use a little bit of power that could otherwise be sold .\nyet for all this apparent official endorsement , a week after its release under the dome was methodically removed from all sites hosted inside china , and discussion about the film in the chinese media ceased . long - time china watcher isabel hinton argues that these events indicate a carefully calibrated governmental plan to generate \u201cpublic support for policies that are already developed . \u201d 14 while this is possible , it seems unlikely the state would use a film with the potential to provoke fundamental questions about china\u2019s whole mode of development to garner support for moves that would almost certainly be popular anyway \u2013 public concerns about the state of the environment have been steadily growing for years , often despite state - imposed restrictions on media reportage . it is more likely that official support and subsequent censorship reflects factional conflicts and power plays within the party - state , as was the case with river elegy \u2019s production , release and subsequent banning back in the late 1980s . under the dome\u2019s timing , content and public praising by the new environment minister certainly appeared calculated to strengthen the position of china\u2019s chronically disempowered environmental protection agencies , against entrenched and powerful environmental abusers like the massive state - owned oil firm sinopec .\nding yan , director of the vehicle pollution department at the ministry of environmental protection , says in the film that he is\nembarrassed\nabout his work because his agency is so toothless .\n\u201cif the film had been this way , it would have been long , heavy and depressing , \u201d mr . yuan said . ms . chai cut that material .\nwhen a new threat from the dome intensifies , the residents of chester ' s mill find themselves at risk of being crushed to death . meanwhile , melanie ' s health continues to deteriorate as the fate of the egg remains unknown .\nthe film also provides a detailed look at how powerless china\u2019s environmental bureau really is . in one telling scene , mep officials are flatly told they have the duty to investigate for broken regulations but not the power to do so . it\u2019s no wonder minister chen was elated by the film ; in effect , it provides an impassioned argument for giving his ministry more power .\nfew documentary makers anywhere the world would dare dream of attracting 300 million viewers \u2013 especially for an exclusive online release . fewer still would imagine reaching an audience of that size within a week . yet according to some news reports , that was the scale of chai jing\u2019s audience for under the dome ( qiongding zhixia , 2015 ) , a self - funded documentary on china\u2019s chronic air pollution released across multiple websites in the people\u2019s republic on 28 february this year . 1 these figures are based on the number of \u201cclicks\u201d the video received online , which is of course not necessarily the same thing as the number of discrete viewers . we also do not know how many people watched all 104 minutes of the film . the click rates certainly suggest , however , that tens of millions , perhaps hundreds of millions , of chinese people watched at least part of under the dome in a very short period , before it was systematically removed from websites inside china\u2019s great firewall around 7 march ( the english - subtitled version is still available on youtube , which is blocked in china ) . 2\nthe film shows ms . chai showing a sonogram of her unborn baby daughter , who was diagnosed with a benign tumor at birth and had to be swiftly operated upon .\nthere are so many startling aspects to \u201cunder the dome\u201d : the fact that someone , especially a media - savvy former state television personality , would think of doing it ; the use of the internet to spread information very quickly ; the way in which middle class chinese , once obsessed purely with economic gains , are outraged about the quality of life ; the way some well - intentioned government reforms open a pandora\u2019s box of previous neglect ; and the suggestion that people are angry enough to step forward .\n] two weeks ago , an invisible dome crashed down on chester ' s mill , cutting us off from the rest of the world . why the dome is here or what mysteries lie ahead , we still don ' t know . every day it tests our limits , bringing out the best and the worst in us . some say we ' ll be stuck here forever , but we will never stop fighting to find a way out .\nas barbie ' s fate lies in big jim ' s hands , the dome presents a new threat when it becomes magnetized . meanwhile , julia seeks out the help of a stranger to save the life of a mysterious girl .\nin its reliance on the spoken word and use of images to support and substantiate the narration\u2019s claims , under the dome draws on some aspects of what bill nichols calls the \u201cexpository mode\u201d of documentary , an approach that \u201cgives priority to the spoken word to convey the film\u2019s perspective from a single , unifying source\u201d in order to \u201cfacilitate comprehension . \u201d 6 although the expository style is typically associated with disembodied \u201cvoice - of - god\u201d style narrations , rather than chai\u2019s more personalised approach , in constructing her film as an illustrated lecture chai is drawing on a very long history of didactic verbal address in chinese documentary . during the maoist era of the 1950s , \u201960s and \u201970s , for example , the expository mode was employed to the exclusion of almost any other , to convey \u201cauthoritarian government declarations , deceptions and formulations\u201d via hectoring , monological voiceovers carefully aligned with the position of the chinese communist party ( ccp ) . 7\nsome have compared her film to rachel carson\u2019s book \u201csilent spring , \u201d the 1962 book on pesticides that led to a ban on ddt and\u2014along with the santa barbara oil spill off california and ohio\u2019s cuyahoga river catching fire in 1969\u2014helped spur the creation of the environmental protection agency . others compare chai\u2019s work to al gore\u2019s film \u201cinconvenient truth , \u201d his wake - up call about climate change .\nafter the video\u2019s release , other officials , including some at state - owned enterprises that often bridle at stricter environmental regulations , came out strongly against the film . the battle lines reflected those in the broader conflict over the environment in china .\nwhen barbie is apprehended by a group of mysterious men , he is relentlessly interrogated about his connection to the dome . meanwhile , big jim makes a deal that could seal the fate of the residents of chester ' s mill forever .\nin 2011 , another activist work appeared in china that provided a smaller - scale , but very direct precedent for under the dome \u2019s release and impact \u2013 wang jiuliang\u2019s beijing besieged by waste ( laji weicheng ) . wang is a photographer by trade , and was prompted to make his film after witnessing the appalling state of local rubbish dumps photographed for another project . although large sections of his confronting documentary on beijing\u2019s waste management practices are observational in style , wang also conveys information through a voiceover narration , anchored by his own presence in many shots before the mountains of rubbish accumulating on beijing\u2019s outskirts .\nmarkets data delayed by at least 15 minutes . \u00a9 the financial times ltd 2018 . ft and \u2018financial times\u2019 are trademarks of the financial times ltd . the financial times and its journalism are subject to a self - regulation regime under the ft editorial code of practice .\nit is still common to see people exercising outdoors on heavily polluted days without protection , as the film shows . chai says she too was blase about pollution before her daughter\u2019s birth .\nearly this week , propaganda officials issued a directive telling chinese news organizations not to report on the film and ordered video websites not to play it on their home pages , though those sites could keep it online . editors at global times , a populist newspaper under the management of people\u2019s daily , had to kill articles and opinion pieces that separately criticized and supported ms . chai\u2019s documentary , newspaper employees said .\nbut in a poll conducted by phoenix tv after the film ' s release , 33 . 5 % of the 27 , 240 respondents said they have no faith in the government and do not expect the smog to be cleaned in the near future .\n\u201cthe fact the people\u2019s daily [ website ] released information on the film was really significant ; that could only have had the highest approval , \u201d suggested brady , though she also noted that sometimes state - run news outlets took risks .\ncbs deserves some credit for having kept the lights on in the summer with its serialized dramas , although \u201cextant\u201d ( another steven spielberg - anointed sci - fi project ) and \u201czoo\u201d haven\u2019t exactly adorned themselves in creative honor either . whether that means simply tinkering with the formula or a more dramatic overhaul , one thing seems as clear as the dome itself : it was time to officially turn out the lights on this dimming \u201cdome , \u201d which really was a bad egg .\n\u201cunder the dome\u201d was produced by chai jing , formerly a journalist at the state - run china central television ( cctv ) . chai explains how she came to take a personal interest in the pollution issue after the birth of her daughter . before then , she had never paid much attention to the smog ; afterward , she was frightened as to what the pervasive exposure to pollution would mean for her child\u2019s health . the resulting documentary has been compared to silent spring , the book by environmental activist rachel carson often credited with jump - starting the u . s . environmental movement .\nli predicted that the film ' s\nunusual\npopularity would help empower the environment ministry .\nthe timing of this is really unique , coming ahead of the ' two meetings ' and with a new environment minister coming on the job ,\nshe added .\nwhen barbie enlists his father \u2019s help to reach out to julia , he realizes that don may know more about the dome than he is letting on . meanwhile , big jim appoints himself sheriff of chester ' s mill .\nthroughout under the dome , chai is casually dressed and talks to her audience in a chatty , relaxed manner , interspersing her serious talk with moments of humour . she requires no introduction , since she is one of china\u2019s best known and most trusted investigative journalists , and was a constant presence on local television screens until her pregnancy in 2013 . she builds on this pre -

the only group that seems to be missing is single sri lankan gay men . everyone seems to co - exist just fine , even though it ' s not clear if anyone in the town actually has a job , except for beth broderick , the local diner waitress who pours coffee all day , natalie martinez , the most incompetent cop ever to make it onto the force , and the dreadful rachelle lefevre as the local hard - as - nails journalist who spends most of her time skulking around through open fields and taking pictures of air . no wonder she lost her big city newspaper job and ended up under this plexiglass shield . once that darned dome comes down , chester ' s mill becomes a modern day peyton place and everyone ' s deep , dark secrets begin to surface . the problem here , though , is that none of the characters is compelling or sympathetic . we just wanna find out what ' s up with that dome , but instead , we ' re forced to watch these poorly conceptualized folks interact with each other with eye - rolling dialogue like ,\nso they say you ' re passin ' through town . what are you runnin ' from ?\nevery now and then , someone mentions they ' re worried the dome may collapse onto chester ' s mill . frankly , my fingers are crossed that ' s exactly what will happen . no town this boring should be allowed to stay on the map . dome = 1 chester ' s mill = 0\nthough she refrains from making a direct causal link between smog and the tumor in the film , she says ,\nwhen you carry a life inside you , what she breathes , eats and drinks are your responsibility , and you feel fear .\nall this is not to suggest that river elegy and under the dome are not very different in important respects \u2013 indeed , divergences in the arguments they present and the manner by which the films were distributed point towards some of the profound changes that have taken place in china since the late 1980s . where river elegy forcefully put a case for continued opening up and market reform of the economy to break the hold of old - time communists wedded to central planning and tight social controls , chai\u2019s film presents a more complex argument . she believes further market reform is necessary in certain areas to break the monopoly state - owned corporations have over parts of the economy . but she also argues for restraint on the part of individuals and businesses alike , and greater regulation to protect china\u2019s seriously degraded environment after two decades of explosive economic growth . unlike the 1980s , many would argue that contemporary china\u2019s key problem is not too little , but too much , industrial development .\nalthough critical official publications and programs have endured sustained governmental pressure and lost much of their investigative edge since the 2000s , the rise of the internet since the turn of this century has played a crucial role in the ongoing dissemination of views , stories and cultural objects not sanctioned by the authorities . 18 for example , the circulation of vast amounts of chinese and foreign filmic content both online and via pirate - dvds from the early 2000s led independent documentarian ou ning to write of \u201can unprecedented image democracy\u201d in contemporary china . 19 ) , urltoken ] although the online space , like the more critical official chinese media , has been increasingly circumscribed by state - sponsored voices and outright censorship in recent years , the internet not only permitted chai jing to disseminate under the dome to a massive audience without relying on older forms of broadcast media , but also provided a space for public discussion of the issues raised by the film outside officially sanctioned channels . 20 in addition , the internet provided the kind of instant international exposure for both the documentary and the subsequent public debate that would have been impossible in the pre - internet era ."]}

existent and training in filmmaking was acquired through assistantship , no one could have been better prepared for a brilliant career than marcel carn\u00e9 . he worked as assistant to ren\u00e9 clair on the first important french sound film , sous les toits de paris , and to jacques feyder on the latter ' s three great films of 1934\u201335 . though he had also made a successful personal documentary , nogent , eldorado du dimanche , and a number of publicity shorts , it was only thanks to the support of feyder and his wife , the actress fran\u00e7oise rosay , that carn\u00e9 was able to make his debut as a feature filmmaker with jenny in 1936 . if this was a routine melodrama , carn\u00e9 was able in the next three years to establish himself as one of europe ' s leading film directors .\nin 1976 , he made what turned out to be his last film , a documentary called la bible , which was released both theatrically and to television .\narmes , roy , french film since 1946 : the great tradition , new york , 1970 .\nthis is a classic , and i consider it one of the best family films evermade . it is moving and says a very great deal about life and about art .\n, directed by john ford and starring donald crisp . clark made the jump to director for the small screen first ; he directed a number of television episodes of\ntheir collaborative film works would dominate the french film industry for ten years . but the professional relationship did not survive long after world war ii , and the team ended their working relationship in 1947 .\nthe collaboration of pr\u00e9vert and carn\u00e9 was sustained during the very different circumstances of the german occupation , when they together made two films that rank among the most significant of the period . since films in the mode of 1930s poetic realism were now banned , it is hardly surprising that carn\u00e9 and pr\u00e9vert should have found the need to adopt a radically new style . remaining within the concept of the studio - made film , but leaving behind the contemporary urban gloom of le jour se l\u00e8ve , they opted for a style of elaborate and theatrical period spectacle . the medieval fable of les visiteurs du soir was an enormous contemporary success but it has not worn well . working with very limited resources the filmmakers\u2014assisted clandestinely by trauner and the composer joseph kosma\u2014succeeded in making an obvious prestige film , a work in which frenchmen could take pride at a dark moment of history . but despite the presence of such players as arletty and jules berry , the overall effect is ponderous and stilted .\nthe film daily felt the film was a\npleasing human interest story nicely suited for the family\n, although they felt it might be at a disadvantage due to the lack of well -

six and at the height of his fame when the war ended . younger than most of those who now came to the fore , he had already made masterly films in two quite different contexts and it seemed inevitable that he would continue to be a dominant force in french cinema despite the changed circumstances of the postwar era . but in fact the first post - war carn\u00e9 - pr\u00e9vert film , les portes de la nuit , was an expensive flop . when a subsequent film , la fleur de l ' \u00e2ge , was abandoned shortly after production had begun , one of the most fruitful partnerships in french cinema came to an end . carn\u00e9 directed a dozen more films , from la marie du port in 1950 to la merveilleuse visite in 1973 , but he was no longer a major force in french filmmaking .\nwhen world war ii ended , and les enfants du paradis was released , carn\u00e9 was still a young man\u2014he was only in his late thirties\u2014and his future seemed bright . however , his first post - war film , les portes de la nuit , which returned to the pre - war concerns of poetic realism , was an expensive failure , despite a script by pr\u00e9vert .\nthe film also marked the start of ongoing collaborations with set designer alexandre trauner and composer joseph kosma . previously , carn\u00e9 and the hungarian - born trauner worked together on feyder ' s la kermesse heroique .\ncarn\u00e9 ' s masterpiece is les enfants du paradis , shot during the war years but released only after the liberation . running for over three hours and comprising two parts , each of which is of full feature length , les enfants du paradis is one of the most ambitious films ever undertaken in france . set in the twin worlds of theatre and crime in nineteenth century paris , this all - star film is both a theatrical spectacle in its own right and a reflection on the nature of spectacle . the script is one of pr\u00e9vert ' s richest , abounding in wit and aphorism , and carn\u00e9 ' s handling of individual actors and crowd scenes is masterly . the sustained vitality and dynamism of the work as it moves seemingly effortlessly from farce to tragedy , from delicate love scenes to outrageous buffoonery , is exemplary , and its impact is undimmed by the years .\ncarn\u00e9 ' s second feature film , dr\u00f4le de drame ( bizarre , bizarre ) , a crime / comedy / fantasy released in 1937 , was a great improvement over jenny , due in large part to pr\u00e9vert ' s contribution . the film itself has been described as peculiar , and it initially confused french audiences . it reflected pr\u00e9vert ' s taste for the absurd and the surreal . the story is set in england in the early 1900s , and the filmmakers took aim at the bourgeoisie . today , its blend of\nscrewball comedy\nelements and dark humor seem ahead of its time .\nin between quai des brumes and le jour se l\u00e8ve , carn\u00e9 released hotel du nord ( 1938 ) , with a script written by jean aurenche instead of pr\u00e9vert . still , it was a fatalistic romantic melodrama , like the other two films .\nthe acting in this version of ouida ' s sentimental story of a poor young boy who wants to be an artist definitely has its issues in terms of speaking lines ; even o . p . heggie , usually a very reliable talent , is poorly modulated . this i lay solely at the feet of the director , edward sloman , who had been directing for twenty years . however , even though a dialog director might have aided some of the performances , the visuals in this are outstanding - - a hallmark of sloman ' s work and veteran cinematographer j . roy hunt . the voice direction may be poor , but the physical acting is just fine . given the story - - and the dialog - - references to rubens , it should come as no surprise that the images refer to the artist , and make the point of the story thereby : that beauty is everywhere for those who can see it , and that faith hope and charity will be rewarded . this may seem a naive sentiment in this day and age , but when was there a day and age where these virtues were not threatened ? surely a simple story is the place to begin to tell a simple tale .\nmarcel carn\u00e9 was an unfashionable figure long before his directing career came to an end . scorned by a new generation of filmmakers , carn\u00e9 grew more and more out of touch with contemporary developments , despite an eagerness to explore new subjects and use young performers . his failure is a measure of the gulf that separates 1950s and 1960s conceptions of cinema from the studio era of the war and immediate prewar years . he was , however , the epitome of this french studio style , its unquestioned master , even if\u2014unlike renoir\u2014he was unable to transcend its limitations . while future critics are unlikely to find much to salvage from the latter part of his career , films like drole de drame and quai des brumes , le jour se l\u00e8ve and les enfants du paradis , remain rich and complex monuments to a decade of filmmaking that will reward fresh and unbiased critical attention .\n) she has a romantic partner with good looks , modest charm and considerable ability .\n. interestingly marie louise de la ram\u00e9e ( otherwise known as\nouida\n) and not a dutch writer . this is arguably the most famous story about a dutch boy and it telling that it was written by an english and not a dutch writer . ( hbc has commented in the\nby this time , carn\u00e9 ' s career had fallen victim to changing film fashions . his brand of studio - anchored film had been replaced by the\nnew wave\ncinema , advanced by young directors such as francois truffaut and jean luc godard . the works of these new directors took filmmaking outside of the studio and into the streets . their films were low - budget productions made on location and featuring relatively unknown or non - professional actors . this combined to create a greater sense of reality . further , the films possessed a spontaneous and improvisational feel that made older , studio - bound films feel artificial and pass\u00e9 . the emergence of this new style provoked carn\u00e9 to comment ,\nthe new wave assassinated me . but then it assassinated the cinema , too .\nhowever , his condemnation was far too harsh , as the\nnew wave\nbrought new life into the cinema .\nthe film had a pungent atmosphere developed , in large part , from carn\u00e9 ' s characteristic careful attention to detail . carn\u00e9 and set designer trauner created an apartment set as a single unit without movable walls . in addition , carn\u00e9 , seeking realistic effect , insisted that real bullets be used for the scenes when the police fire upon francois ' apartment .\nin 1953 , he filmed th\u00e9r\u00e8se raquin , an adaptation of the emile zola novel . the film was a popular success , but critics were less enthusiastic than the public . his next four films , l ' air de paris ( 1954 ) , le pays d ' \u00f2u je viens ( 1956 ) , les tricheurs ( the cheaters , 1958 ) , and terrain vague , had nowhere near the impact of his earlier work .\ncarn\u00e9 issue\nof cahiers de la cin\u00e9math\u00e8que ( perpignan ) , winter 1972 .\nthough their previous films were banned during the occupation , carn\u00e9 and pr\u00e9vert were allowed to continue working together . in addition , carn\u00e9 continued working with trauner and kosma , but the collaborations had to be conducted in secret , as the set designer and the composer were both jewish . however , carn\u00e9 was limited in what he could depict on film . contemporary events were off limits under the german occupation , and films reflecting the pessimistic poetic realism were forbidden , so carn\u00e9 and pr\u00e9vert turned to historical subject matter . this resulted in a new visual style . instead of working in the gray shades of urban , working - class despair , carn\u00e9 turned to the more ornate and theatrical look of the period - film spectacle . made in 1942 , les visiteurs du soir ( the devil ' s envoys ) , a costume romance - drama , was an allegory about love and death set in medieval times . though the film was successful at the time , it has aged badly .\ncarn\u00e9 was born on august 18 , 1906 , in paris , france . he was the son of paul and maria ( recouet ) carn\u00e9 . he was educated at the education ecole d ' apprentissage du meuble in france , and worked as an apprentice cabinet maker and an insurance clerk in the mid - 1920s . in the late 1920s , he broke into film . in 1928 , he worked as an assistant to cameraman georges p\u00e9rinal on les nouveaux messieurs , for director jacques feyder , who would influence both carn\u00e9 and the direction of french cinema . the following year , carn\u00e9 made his first film , a short documentary entitled nogent , eldorado du dimanche . he also made a number of publicity shorts , but his documentary so impressed rene clair that , in 1930 , the great french director hired carn\u00e9 as his assistant director on sous les toits de paris ( under the roofs of paris ) .\nthe various advocates of either pr\u00e9vert or carn\u00e9 have sought to make exclusive claims as to which brought poetry to the nebulous and ill - defined\npoetic realism\nthat these films are said to exemplify . in retrospect , however , these arguments seem over - personalized , since the pair seem remarkably well - matched . the actual differences seem less in artistic approach than in attitude to production . from the first , carn\u00e9 , heir to a particular mode of quality filmmaking , was concerned with an industry , a technique , a career . pr\u00e9vert , by contrast , though he is a perfect example of the archetypal 1930s screenwriter , able to create striking star roles and write dazzling and memorable dialogue , is not limited to this role and has a quite separate identity as surrealist , humorist and poet .\nhistorical / mythological / devotional less popular socials diversified -

rate lacking the same morale - breaking power as a horde of men charging at you to stab you ) . the earlier plug bayonet fit the trope even more starkly - troops had to place their bayonet into their musket ' s barrel , preventing them from shooting , making it especially blatant their two main weapons were the musket and bayonet .\ngreat britain lead germany heading in to the cross country phase in the fei eventing nations cup . . .\nthe prototype was first flown in september 1974 with the first production version flown on 24 may 1977 . deliveries to the beech aero centers commenced early in 1978 .\nthe model 76 incorporates engines that turn in different directions to eliminate the critical engine from single engine operation .\nthe duchess is no longer in production but large numbers remain in use in flight schools around the world .\nd ' artagnan , a young gentleman from gascony , france , heads to paris to find his fortune in life . he goes to see m . de tr\u00e9ville , who is the commander of the king ' s musketeers . d ' artagnan ' s goal in life is to become a musketeer . while in paris , he meets porthos , athos , and aramis , musketeers who quickly become his friends , and constance bonacieux , who steals his heart .\nby midnight he had rewritten the episode , which was published . when , the following day , the dumas\nrewritten\ntext was found ,\nonly 30 words from 500 lines were not absolutely the same\n.\nfor the weekend , the top 12 films grossed an estimated $ 62 . 6 million \u0097 an increase of 38 . 9 percent over the same weekend last year .\nin the last witch hunter , when fighting the witches , kaulder alternates between his cool sword and hand cannon .\nhong kong inspired action sequences take center stage in this latest three musketeers adaptation . unfortunately , the oversimplification of the story and an uncharismatic lead character leave the movie flat .\nin the halo series from halo 2 onward , the player can wield a plasma sword in addition to their ranged weapon , with halo 3 adding in the gravity hammer .\nduring the climax of the sin city tale , hell and back , the main character duel wields a pair of colts and has a machete available . incidently , he eventually throws the machete to kill a mook from a distance .\nthe marvel comics elseworld the 5 ronin transplants familiar marvel characters to japan under ieyasu tokugawa ' s rule . the series ' version of the punisher is an expert swordfighter and an ace gunman , but depending on the situation he will only use one weapon , his rifle or his katana .\nthe three musketeers do this , though they ' re better known for using swords . since swords were the standard sidearm of the day , most of the book isn ' t spent in line combat , and guns of the day were single -

handed claymores . against armies who held ranks they tended to get massacred though . in fact , the dreaded highland charge helped lead to the development of the socket bayonet , which unlike the previous plug bayonet , fit over the barrel of the musket and allowed it to shoot and stab all at once . therefore , the english units were able to enter the battle with already fixed bayonets instead of having to equip them while a horde of screaming scotsman with bfs bore down on them . the swords of this period were one - handed light swords similar to a later broadsword . it was certainly not the claymore most people envision when they hear the word . by the 17th century , gunpowder had completely dominated the battlefield and any heavy infantry with armor and a bfs was a relic waiting to be slaughtered . the charge relied on a light targe , a broadsword or dirk , momentum , and a movement which left the english infantry helpless just long enough for them to be cut down .\nan earlier chase sequence involves an attempt by febre to capture the coach containing the queen and the comely d . , where d ' artagnan single -

writer belinda mcclory . mcclory , who is best known as an actor for her work in film ( t he matrix ) , tv and on stage , also stars in turkey shoot as meredith baxter , a tv executive desperate for ratings .\nbelinda\u2019s first professional job as an actor was at the age of 14 opposite geoffrey rush and john wood in jim sharman\u2019s production of sunrise for the sa theatre company .\nbelinda mcclory was born in 1968 in adelaide , south australia , australia . she is an actress and writer , known for the matrix ( 1999 ) , x ( 2011 ) and mullet ( 2001 ) . she has been married to jon hewitt since january 30 , 1999 .\nwith mcclory in the limo were husband hewitt , and matrix co - star hugo weaving with his partner kirsty .\nbelinda has also written and script edited numerous feature films and was the recipient of the seaborn - walford - foundation award for the screen adaptation of patrick white\u2019s \u201cthe eye of the storm\u201d .\nhewitt didn\u2019t realise then that mcclory was the daughter of a cop and knew all about police lives being shattered by the work .\njohn hewitt was watching janus , the police drama series on abc , back then in 1994 , and was struck by belinda mcclory\u2019s on screen presence and her overall acting skills . effortless , natural , vulnerable , sensitive , strong\u2026his mind ticking off the qualities . he set about writing the screenplay for his intended \u2018police revenge fantasy\u2019 redball , with belinda playing the central role of homicide detective jj wilson . she was to portray a frustrated detective \u2013 one of several \u2013 who is hamstrung in her efforts to bring a criminal \u2013 a child killer - to justice .\nnow , five years later , with the film releasing ( finally ) and being launched internationally at the 1999 cannes film festival , mcclory and hewitt are married , and have spent two of their eight married weeks in america , specifically for the premiere of the matrix , in which mcclory plays switch , a revolutionary in the company of morpheus ( laurence fishburne ) .\nwe are sitting in one of the smallest cafes in east sydney , a new place with about eight small tables shuffled into a wedge shape space adjacent to a tiny kitchen . mcclory is still jet lagged and tired from the los angeles trip , which included a side - trip to las vegas so they could reenact their wedding in the \u2018elvis\u2019 chapel . for fun . mcclory orders chicken done in green tea and i go for the cold rare roast beef salad .\nit was a bit scary ,\nsays mcclory of the west hollywood premiere .\ni hadn\u2019t been warned how vocal the american audiences can get\u2026when we got out of the limo there were a couple of thousand people and they just screamed !\nand that\u2019s why mcclory is concerned that the film is upsetting some police ( particularly the victorian police ) with its brutal honesty about police procedures , the temptations and the ugly side of law enforcement .\ni did it for other motives \u2013 and john wrote it as a revenge fantasy for cops ; he loves the police .\nthe contrast between these two films in which mcclory appears could not be greater . redball is a low budget thriller shot over a few weekends in melbourne ; the actors had to turn up in their own clothes and they got paid late . the matrix is a big budget sci fi action drama with hundreds of special effects , shot over five months in sydney .\nmcclory thrived on working with hewitt ( but she hastens to add that it was not an on - set affair .\ni was very irish about it \u2013 i didn\u2019t sleep with him until a year later\u2026\n) .\nit was great \u2013 john let us do what we felt ; the camera just followed us . it was very free and organic , to coin a wanky phrase .\nmcclory thinks she has been na\u00efve about this ;\ni thought people would see it on a human level , perhaps with some understanding of what these people go through . they have to shut off half of themselves to do the work . i never expected the film to be seen as an indictment . and i though the police would at least privately acknowledge the struggle involved in dealing with the job\u2026 .\nbut that freedom clearly worked for mcclory ( indeed , all the cast ) because her performance is sensational .\nat the time ,\nshe says matter of factly ,\ni knew i was doing something but i didn\u2019t know what that was . it wasn\u2019t until i saw the finished film that i realised i was doing a good job .\nshe says this with no sign of self - aggrendisement , but clearly some pride .\nadjusting to married life , mcclory and hewitt have also teamed up professionally \u2013 as writers . they are working on several projects , but one that stands out is called grim .\njohn is writing this one on his own . we\u2019re hoping to shoot it later this year . it\u2019s a one take movie , shot in two hours over one weekend . it\u2019ll take a lot of co - ordination but i think it can be done .\nmcclory overcomes her jet lag and talks amicably , occasionally animated by the subject ; no doubt about it , she has an emotional investment in her role and in the film .\nlook , at 30 , i am very happy to be doing this kind of role . there aren\u2019t many scripts with big female roles like this . here is a detective doing her job \u2013 and i want people to be clear that she\u2019s cracking up not because she\u2019s a chick but because of the work .\nhewitt gathered a lot of his material like many writers do \u2013 just living his life . he once worked in a melbourne pub where the major crime squad gathers to drink and unwind .\nhe heard their stories , and there is also stuff that comes from the papers . but what doesn\u2019t come across in the papers ,\nsays mcclory ,\nis the cops\u2019 humanity . we both love cops \u2013 so much so ,\nshe says ,\ni took a role in blue heelers as a good cop just to show the victorian police i was an actress \u2013 i could play good cop , too .\nmy father was a cop until i was 12 ,\nshe says .\nhe was in plain clothes cib\u2026he adored the job but it changed him and he brought that home . no - one but police understand it\u2026it made him an insomniac and an alcoholic . our home was violent\u2026 . because police carry around the horror perpetually . you can\u2019t not be effected by what you see every day . that\u2019s why this character of jj wilson appealed to me .\nglossary of police slang redball \u2013 a high -

catalogue and narrowed it down to turkey shoot and thirst . we already have our own vampire project ( avampyr ) in development , so we chose turkey shoot .\nsimplistically , i think the lone person stepping up and making a difference / changing the world story is a direct response to a world constantly at war . people feel smaller and less connected in the world , our technology is running us ragged 24 / 7 . people are tired and want change , that\u2019s why the hero / survivor stories are so strong at the moment . it\u2019s cinematic political fantasy .\nthis is the fourth screenplay i\u2019ve co - written that has been produced \u2013 darklovestory , x , turkey shoot and acolytes ( uncredited ) . since making redball in 1996 , jon and i have written maybe 20 screenplays together . not all of them see the light of day !\nwriting is always a challenge , but collaboration helps me overcome the tyranny of the blank page . writing with jon is always fun . sure we fight sometimes , but that only pushes the work into a rigorous , more detailed place \u2013 we keep each other on our toes .\nhaving confidence in the strength of your material in the face of the constant evaluation and intervention that is script development ; whilst also being open to the good ideas that come with it .\nyou can\u2019t do either on your own , film just involves a lot more people . in the theatre , a production could involve 50 people in order to tell a story . on the matrix it was over 400 ! at script level on turkey shoot we were lucky enough to work with hollywood script editor sheila hanahan taylor . her knowledge and insights into the action / adventure genre were invaluable to us . i feel very lucky to have worked with her \u2013 she loves genre and was tough but fair !\ni\u2019ve always believed that a film script is a blueprint for something else , and if you choose your fellow storytellers well , it\u2019s exciting and exhilarating to see it transform in a way that is sometimes beyond your wildest dreams . you\u2019re only as good as the people you work with . i think in theatre the emphasis is very much on the spoken word , it\u2019s central with images or stage pictures assisting audience imagination , whereas there\u2019s so much more in the toy box in film than the script to tell the story . don\u2019t get me wrong \u2013 a film script has to be rich and detailed and completely water - tight , but it doesn\u2019t have to be king .\nyour films as an actor have included the matrix and redball \u2013 action / violence films - but this is a long way from your more rarified theatre work . is that a conscious choice ?\ni don\u2019t think so . i\u2019m attracted to strong , interesting female roles period . regardless of the medium , i enjoy playing women with dramatic story arcs ( hopefully with a dark side ) that also embrace some sort of social commentary . i have been extremely lucky in the diversity of work that has presented itself over the years . and i haven\u2019t been afraid to say no .\ni don\u2019t . in fact i\u2019ve never been attracted to the action / adventure genre , bond and bourne and the original mad max aside \u2013 which is why i agreed to do turkey shoot . it was a challenge to try and write in this style , to inject great female roles and a social conscience into a male - oriented genre that is usually just content to kick ass and blow shit up .\nwe didn\u2019t want to do an homage to campy schlock which a straight remake would have been , but the central story trope of humans hunting humans for entertainment has a long history in the action / adventure genre \u2013 most dangerous game , running man , battle royale , etc . a major influence for me was a reality tv show i saw on us television whose subject was child cage fighting . it was like the voice , but instead of singing , these children were literally fighting each other to get into the next round . it was so disturbing and macabre . i thought , how far can this go ? where are we going as a society when this is entertainment ? the premise in turkey shoot is simply an extension of that \u2013 live death on tv for ratings supremacy .\ni think audiences are as adventurous now as they were 30 years ago , it\u2019s just mainstream filmmaking that has become more conservative . could last tango in paris be made today ? also , the way audiences consume movies is completely different now \u2013 challenging and adventurous films ( including most non - english language films ) are mostly experienced outside of a traditional cinema release these days .\nyou\u2019ve got to remember what your target audience wants and deliver it in a fast moving and entertaining way . but that doesn\u2019t stop you from sneaking - in a rich and challenging sub - text . we wanted to make a serpentine thriller that had some meat on it\u2019s bones .\nthe fabulous thing about my work is that one thing sort of leads into another . acting is my first love , i\u2019ve been working professionally since i was 14 and hopefully i will always find some sort of work , especially in the theatre . but jon and i continue to work on our own film projects and i do enjoy script editing too . i have just been approached to write and direct a short film that will be part of an all - female horror anthology . if i throw enough mud , hopefully some of it will stick ! i want to do it all .\ndaily review is australia ' s go to source for engaging arts and entertainment news , reviews and commentary .\nmore tickets = more points = more movies on us ! rack up vip + points for every ticket you buy to score streaming movies and discounts on tickets and movie gear .\nget your swag on with discounted movies to stream at home , exclusive movie gear , access to advanced screenings and discounts galore .\ncollect bonus rewards from our many partners , including amc , stubs , cinemark connections , regal crown club when you link accounts .\nwe know life happens , so if something comes up , you can return or exchange your tickets up until the posted showtime .\nown all of the previous ' mission : impossible ' movies to watch at home for just $ 3 . 99 each with ticket purchase . buy tickets\nreceive a free * exclusive ' jurassic world : fallen kingdom ' poster with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nchoose 1 of 2 free * posters with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nreceive a free * exclusive ' ant -

paced , from conventional horror to \u201cpostmodern\u201d and from less gore to more . equipped with feminist theories , students become deeply absorbed in these films while maintaining an enjoyable engagement .\nthe problem with extreme cinema is finding the balance between extremity , context and story \u2013 on one end you\u2019ve got a film that\u2019s really great but confronts an audience a little too much ( irreversible ) or on the other , a film that\u2019s so concerned with being extreme it forgets to have a story , or in the end confront its audience too much ( the human centipede ) . but somewhere in the middle lies martyrs , a film that , in terms of content is probably more extreme than a serbian film or irreversible \u2013 but in execution takes that content , wraps it up in one hell of a mystery and metres out its extremity over the course of one solidly good movie .\n( 2004 ) , the main character is called anna jurin . in martyrs , anna is one of the female leads ' character names , whilst lucie jurin is the other .\nsome authors have speculated that martyrs\u2013 like other french horror films of the past 20 years , such as xavier gens\u2019s frontiers \u2013 deliberately evokes deep - set trauma from france\u2019s past .\nthe film took in about $ 1 million globally before moving to dvd in 2009 . it has drawn fans ever since . featured on the covers of the horror magazines fangoria and rue morgue , it\u2019s a film devotees know about even if they haven\u2019t seen it .\nunfortunately , in goosing the momentum , the creators of the film have lost the soul of what was essential to this horrific tale .\nfirst of all , great article ! martyrs is one of those films that really stays with you . it is physically affecting , watching the creatures painfully move around and anna withstanding her torture . unlike hostel or a serbian film though the torture is not for anybody else\u2019s pleasure but for anna\u2019s own transcendence into martyrdom .\nso it\u2019s no surprise that the film\u2019s partisans are wary of a new \u201cmartyrs , \u201d which opened jan . 22 . one of the film\u2019s backers is blumhouse , the red - hot production company behind the popular but hardly hard - core horror franchises \u201cparanormal activity\u201d and \u201cinsidious . \u201d as with recent remakes of \u201challoween\u201d and \u201cthe evil dead , \u201d fans of the original are wringing their hands over an american remake that might water down carnage or sanitize content .\nit\u2019s hard to ignore the undercurrent of misogyny in the third act , but martyrs is arguably a modern horror classic from the new french extremity movement . if you\u2019re cool with extremely disturbing gore and violence then check it out ! if not , i recommend staying at least 300 feet away from this film at all times .\nin all of the reviews i have seen of this film , no - one , not one has understood why mademoiselle removes her wig , head - scarf and make - up at the very end of the film before saying , \u201ckeep doubting\u201d and blowing her brains out .\neight years ago , the horror community was electrified \u2013 a term that implies both a shock and an excited , skin - prickling awakening \u2013 by the release of a resolutely bleak french - language film named martyrs . directed by the hitherto obscure pascal laugier and starring unknown actresses morjana alaoui and myl\u00e8ne jampano\u00ef , the film , a low - budget french - canadian production made for just under three million euros , quickly began to assert its place in horror movie history .\nthere really was only one possible ending for the film and that\u2019s the one we were given , regardless of how unsatisfying . if madam . had lived to relate anna\u2019s experience , the film maker would have had to speculate on the nature of the afterlife of which he clearly has no better idea than we do . any imagination he might exert would bring the film into the genre of fantasy or pseudo - mystical rather than horror .\nhe ' solved ' his wife ' s rape / murder - again - by killing\nteddy\n- the film ' s opening sequence .\ncopyright \u00a9 2005 - 2018 / film . privacy policy / cookie policy . web design by pro blog design . logo concept by : illumination ink\ngreat article ! i\u2019m not sure if i have the stomach to seek out the film , but your words will definitely stick with me for a while after reading your piece , much like it seems the film has stuck with you . something to think about certainly \u2013 the glorification of violence .\nperhaps this is the point . we , like anna , must earn the revelation the film offers us . the film hasn\u2019t offered us cheap visceral thrills , but a contemplative treatise on how we think of violence . the victim , the sufferer , is no longer disempowered , but may be the most spiritually powerful being possible . as an audience we are invited to suffer rather than enjoy the cheap , visceral thrills of another torture porn film .\nmartyrs is a film that has never left me , that i was unsure if i was enjoying or not until indeed my mouth was open for the entirety of the second half . it certainly separates itself from other films within the torture porn sub - genre , as it attempts to justify the heavy visual elements of its plot \u2013 and i believe does so extraordinarily well . i\u2019d agree with your observations of the film and its place within french extremism , but i think at times the creators weren\u2019t seeking to make as much meaning as we can derive . there are some parts of the film there for shock and gore , left suitably unsubstantiated .\nyes , martyrs \u2013 which tells the story of a young woman ( lucie , played by jampano\u00ef ) who tracks down the people responsible for torturing her as young child \u2013 is notoriously difficult to watch .\nthe kind of person who ' d be inclined to seek the film out is probably not the kind of person who ' d regret that decision .\nlinda williams , \u201cwhen the woman looks\u201d in the horror film reader , ed . mark jancovich ( london : routledge , 2001 ) , 61 . \u21a9\ncarol clover men , women and chainsaws : gender in the modern horror film ( princeton , nj : princeton up , 1992 ) , 53 . \u21a9\n: martyrs are exceptional people . they survive pain , they survive total deprivation . they bear all the sins of the earth . they give themselves up . they transcend themselves . . . they are transfigured .\nthe fact that there is now a remake of martyrs is no surprise , laugier sold the remake rights as soon as his film got international release . the surprise is that , after several years of development hell , blumhouse productions , the safran company , and directors kevin and michael goetz ( scenic route ) managed to shoot the low budget remake in total secrecy . we didn ' t know about it until it was already in the can . this weekend , it will be released into the world to answer the question ,\nhow can you possibly remake martyrs ?\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\ni really liked this film , i found it incredibly disturbing and i don ' t think that it was an effective horror film , more of a psychological thriller . i did really enjoy it and i would recommend it to anyone who likes horror films , but it is not for the faint of heart .\nvery interesting dissection of martyrs ! i\u2019ve seen a smattering of new french extremity , but this film i\u2019ve struggled with for a while . i love the first half , the comfortable familiar narrative , as you described ; i assumed that lucie was unhinged on my first viewing and didn\u2019t want her to be correct in her assumption about the family she killed being her torturers .\nmartyrs are exceptional people . they survive pain , they survive total deprivation . they bear all the sins of the earth . they give themselves up . they transcend themselves . . . they are transfigured .\nthe story in the remake looks more or less the same : a young lady seeks revenge against those who tortured her as a child . this isn\u2019t a red - band trailer , so either there\u2019s a lot this trailer isn\u2019t showing or they made a pg - 13 version of martyrs . pg - 13 or not , though , there was never a chance the american version of martyrs would be half as violent as the original .\nvery detailed article on an astonishing horror film . a friend asked if i would recommend it , and i gave him a resounding yes . excellent work here .\nthe men in black of the film ' s title originally referred to a sci - fi comic book series , first published in 1991 , about a top - secret organization of agents that monitored , regulated and policed paranormal and alien activity on earth . there were two film sequels to the 1997 release , in 2002 and 2012 .\ncontinuing the trend in 21st century french extremism ( following the likes of xavier gens \u2019 frontiere ( s ) ( 2007 ) and alexandre bustillo and julien maury\u2019s inside ( 2007 ) ) , pascal laugier\u2019s martyrs raises the bar even higher by offering a nauseating , ruthless indictment of and reflection on the violence , hatred and pain that fuels our modern day world . cheery , this film is not .\nalthough american audiences have their fair share of bloody fanatics , martyrs has to date only managed a small cult following due to its highly graphic nature . the film is a risky choice for any studio to tackle . depending on the mpaa rating , we will soon know how extreme the studios are willing to take it . this is one horror flick to watch out for as the news progresses .\nthe film takes you through a journey , first depicting shocking violence with an understandable but morally questionable motive , moving to the visceral , torturous aftermath of violence with no motive , though committed against a figure that is slightly removed from the audience . it is only in the final third of the film that its raison d\u2019\u00eatre is revealed .\nunfortunately , reeling in that younger target audience means sacrificing much of the exaggerated , disturbing material , resulting in a lack of the vicious grit that made the original so iconic . mostly though , aside from creating a much tamer version , the 2015 martyrs headed by the goetz brothers feels too similar to the first film , bordering on a shot - for - shot remake that doesn\u2019t really bring anything new or worthwhile to the table in order to justify its existence . overall , this is a decent film , but it\u2019s not much more than that . hopefully , this depiction will arouse curiosity for the much harsher original , and encourage fans to seek out the french cult classic , which sadly , proves to be a much impactful film .\nmademoiselle : martyrs are exceptional people . they survive pain , they survive total deprivation . they bear all the sins of the earth . they give themselves up . they transcend themselves . . . they are transfigured . see more \u00bb\nthis is almost as bad as david gordon green declaring that he would remake suspiria into\nsome classy shiat\nrather than a\nlow budget italian gore film\n.\n, then you\u2019re in for a trip when the u . s . remake hits theaters . the original french language film is the most notorious entry in a radical shift of\nfeaturing morjane alaoui ( marock ) and mylene jampanoi ( valley of flowers ) , martyrs promises to be an indulgent journey into the heart of darkness of a human soul , set against the backdrop of child kidnapping , torture and revenge .\nmartyrs is a groundbreaking work - it challenges the audience to endure heinous acts yet to emerge spiritually cleansed ; to witness man ' s willingness to abuse , degrade and manipulate , yet leave the theatre more enamoured with humanity than ever .\nciting the slasher antagonist of \u201cfriday the 13th , \u201d stacie ponder , the writer of the horror - themed blog final girl and author of a coming monograph on \u201cmartyrs , \u201d said : \u201cin your typical horror movie , when jason punches somebody\u2019s head off , you might laugh or get a thrill . there are no thrills in \u2018martyrs . \u2019 it\u2019s about the pain , not the torture . there\u2019s no space between us and the pain that these characters are enduring . \u201d\ni would beg to differ with the review of this film - it seems that most of the uk press have missed the point of this film . it ' s deeply complex and amazing to watch . everyone i know that has seen it and understood it ( most people - but clearly not the press ) has been deeply moved and amazed .\nbut the cruelty of the film is a bit like the torturers themselves ; it\u2019s not malicious . it\u2019s not a film trying to shock you and repulse you , like any number of torture - porn films of the current ilk , an obvious case being hostel or a more obvious example in the malignant a serbian film . its cruelty is naturally derived from the intensity of the story ; toning the violence down would make the mystery in the story less effective . it\u2019s full on , but it\u2019s contextual , and never exploitative .\nremaking a film that reigns as one of the most disturbing ever would challenge any director . the original \u201cmartyrs\u201d begins as a home invasion film , as lucie and anna , young women who met as children at an orphanage , seek revenge on the family that imprisoned and tortured one of them 15 years ago . but as their plan takes a merciless turn , anna plummets into a world dominated by a shadowy organization with bloodthirsty ideas about divine suffering . in one bloodcurdling scene anna is immobilized and her back is flayed ; the camera lingers on her face as she reacts to the pain .\nboth narratives played separately and alternately until the film ' s climactic conclusion when the two strands merged into a color sequence - at the time of the strangulation of jimmy grantz .\ntime to take the cenobites serious again . not a fan of remakes but i think hellraiser is a perfect candidate for one and laugier can bring a great vision to it . i also loved st . ange . i cant wait for martyrs .\nthey also point out that the vast majority of women become victims , not martyrs . they succumb to the torture , and die . and , as the creepy mademoiselle makes clear , anna is going to be subjected to all of this now .\ntechnically , the film is also incredible . it\u2019s beautifully shot , which helps make the violence so unpalatable , because it\u2019s contrasted well against the otherwise glossy film . the modern set of the house is also utilised well . it does feel homey when the family are still alive , pre - lucie , but afterwards , it becomes cold and sterile , and torturous .\nthe film ended with a tear - jerking , fireworks - filled conclusion , set at bill ' s 65th birthday party celebration . parrish delivered a heart - warming speech to everyone :\nwilliams , \u201cwhen women look : a sequel\u201d in freud\u2019s worst nightmares , accessed online at urltoken . see also williams , \u201clearning to scream\u201d in the horror film reader , 168 . \u21a9\ni watched the film but i would have to agree with katie . if you need food for thought this film is a bad excuse . plato is sure better . the only challenging intellectual puzzle is at the end and it\u2019s not that good . and you know that all these justifications are only there for the shock value so the director can get a little attention .\nmartyrs is a movie of three acts , which makes it both difficult to summarise ( without spoiling the experience ) and categorise . the dizzying , nauseating and frenetic pace of the first two - thirds of the film creates a remarkable intensity thanks to the unflinching violence and fierce music score . indeed , the narrative becomes so disorientating , that we\u2019re never quite sure what kind of genre flick we are watching and what direction it will take .\nkevin and michael goetz , the brothers who directed the new \u201cmartyrs , \u201d say they understand fans\u2019 apprehension . but their job was \u201cto focus on the script that was given to us , \u201d kevin goetz said . their hope is that their reimagining , as they call the version written by mark l . smith , a co - writer of \u201cthe revenant , \u201d will shine a light on a film still largely under the public radar .\nmademoiselle believed they could discover the secrets of the afterlife through their experiments by finding a true martyr - a subject who would achieve a state of euphoric transcendence :\nmartyrs are very rare . a martyr is something else . martyrs are extraordinary beings . they survive pain , they survive total deprivation . they bear all the sins of the earth . they give themselves up , they transcend themselves . . . they are transfigured . it turns out that women are more responsive to transfiguration . young women .\nthroughout the course of the film we see lucie suffer gruesome hallucinations and self - mutilate due to past trauma , and witness the bloody massacre of a family of four \u2013 children included .\nin a film filled with savagery and horror , it\u2019s a moment that shocks to the core : a reminder that unexpected tenderness can be as viscerally , skin - shiveringly affecting as torture .\nyes , this is a relentless and disturbing film and certainly not for everyone . i never found it gratuitous , however , which often isn ' t the case in films like this .\nthis much can be said for the new remake of martyrs : it\u2019s efficient . clocking in at under 90 minutes , the film proceeds at a rapid clip , never lingering too long on any one scene , or dragging out a single shot beyond the minimal time needed to achieve its purpose . unfortunately , in goosing the momentum , the creators of the film have lost the soul of what was essential to this horrific tale . indeed , the original movie might be the only film lumped under the banner of \u201cextreme horror\u201d ( or , less charitably , \u201ctorture porn\u201d ) to truly and narratively justify the argument that extending brutal scenes of violence and abuse is the whole point . ( the a . v . club previously referred to it as \u201cthe torture - porn movie to end all torture - porn movies . \u201d )\nmartyrs is very nihilistic . . . the american approach [ that i ' m looking at ] would go through all that darkness but then give a glimmer of hope . you don ' t have to shoot yourself when it ' s over .\nmartyrs & high tension , both french are very refreshing to a long time horror buff like myself . seriously r . zombie fliks r total rip offs . nothing new , i guess , us as horrific talented fans should voice our ideas more . ( =\nwhen horror fans dare horror rookies to watch a movie , it\u2019s usually a classic frightfest like \u201cthe exorcist\u201d or a more recent white - knuckler like \u201cit follows . \u201d when horror fans dare other horror fans to watch a movie , it\u2019s \u201c martyrs . \u201d\nyou paint such a harrowing picture of this film and this is my second experience with french extremity , irreversible i found to be truly disturbing if you can class it in the same genre .\nfamed writer / director woody allen ' s first r - rated dramatic - erotic thriller , and his first film set and shot in england . the film , without allen ' s typical humor , recalled elements of a place in the sun ( 1951 ) , body heat ( 1981 ) , fatal attraction ( 1987 ) , allen ' s own crimes and misdemeanors ( 1989 ) , his future film cassandra ' s dream ( 2007 ) , and similarities to dostoyevsky ' s crime and punishment 1866 novel . its main tagline was :\npassion , temptation , obsession .\nmodleski , tania . \u201cthe terror of pleasure : the contemporary horror film and postmodern theory\u201d in studies in entertainment : critical approaches to mass culture . ( indiana university press ) , 1986 . \u21a9\ncertainly one of the smarter horror films to come along in awhile ( and leagues above that saw and hostel trash ) . im not a fan of torture porn but martyrs isnt really a part of that genre . it has an agenda far more significant than simply freaking its viewer out via the graphic violence . it does come across a tad pretentious though in the end . i dont enjoy leaving a film feeling more a test subject than a viewer .\nthis seems to be the question of the most interest , so let\u2019s get right to it . if you\u2019ve seen the first , or to put it more bluntly , are a huge fan of the first film\u2019s violence ; this film will certainly not shock you . the first film pretty much knocked it out of the park with how far you can push torture and pain cinematically : it was literally breathtaking . but for as many people that loved it ; it alienated just as many . this version is definitely a bit more accessible graphic - wise : but still pushes boundaries nonetheless .\nconsidering how great his newest movie is , it really is a bummer that we ' ll never get to see what daniel stamm would have done with martyrs . 13 sins is one of the smartest remakes i ' ve seen in a good while , proving stamm is the kind of director who really understands how to update source material so fans aren ' t just getting an identical retread with no identity of its own . we just hope that whoever inherits this new , low - budget version of martyrs has those same instincts .\nthe goetz brothers ( scenic route ) have directed the u . s . version of pascal laugier\u2019s 2009 french horror film that challenged religion , and played a cathartic role in his real life loss .\nlaugier first came to public acclaim in france in 2004 with his debut film house of voices , which went on to have a spectacular success at the spanish box office in the summer of 2005 .\nwith its story told in reverse , it was challenging in itself just to watch due to its non - linear , backwards narrative structure . a crucial fact about the smoothly - edited film was :\nhe sells out to blamed , evil hollywood as well by doing a remake to\nmartyrs\n( at least he will be involved with the script and obviously will make a lot of cash with it ) . so that guy sold out twice . talk about capitalism .\nbut the biggest achievement of the film is most certainly its two leads . i\u2019ve read reviews accusing the characters of being one - note , but that\u2019s ridiculous . these girls are frightened , traumatised , panicked and heart - racing the entire time they\u2019re on screen . acting those emotions for the length of time it takes to shoot a film is an incredible feat , especially because they do it so convincingly .\nand reconsider their position . this isn\u2019t my way of chastising people with different opinions than myself but rather my way of saying : \u201cthis film is a good example of what\u2019s wrong with the term . \u201d\n[ note : at the end of the film ,\nteddy\nequated leonard with sammy jankis :\nsammy didn ' t have a wife . it was your wife who had diabetes .\n]\nlike the worst real - world monsters ( josef mengele is the obvious example ) , the movie\u2019s torturers , whose true motivation is revealed in the final act , are also convinced that they\u2019re doing the right thing . they see themselves as experimenters , explorers , brave pioneers \u2013 and , disturbingly , martyrs manages to temporarily put its audience into their blood - stained shoes . even as we wince for the film\u2019s victims , we find ourselves simultaneously desperate to know what their abusers will uncover .\nmartyrs is very nihilistic ,\nhe told 24 frames .\nthe american approach [ that i ' m looking at ] would go through all that darkness but then give a glimmer of hope . you don ' t have to shoot yourself when it ' s over .\nand when it comes to\nbarking up the wrong tree :\num , no . if people can analyze symbols and structure of an art film , i don ' ; t see why the horror film should be off limits . so perhaps you should go read something else if you think that my writing is a waste of time . posted by simon abrams on 2009 - 11 - 14 17 : 54 : 46\nand martyrs\u2019s final section , which focuses on lucie\u2019s friend and would - be lover anna ( alaoui ) , is almost entirely composed of sustained , dispassionately clinical scenes of torture \u2013 all of which build to a famously grim conclusion ( game of thrones villain ramsay bolton would probably approve ) .\nsmith and the goetzes have taken liberties with laugier ' s plot , shuffling the order of events and changing which characters live or die . and while the violence is relentless in the final third of the new\nmartyrs ,\nit ' s much less explicit than the french version .\nfor a film that ' s really personal such as this , it ' s far better for yourself to decipher these things on your own . no one gets any meaning or learns from art through asking\nwhat is it\n, but a different method would be pure discussion from the basic philosophy of the film , something in which you can derive your own personal meaning from instead of being given an answer . just sayin\nlaura mulvey , \u201cvisual pleasure and narrative cinema\u201d in film theory and criticism : introductory readings , eds . leo braudy and marshall cohen . new york : oxford up , 1999 : 833 - 44 , 837 . \u21a9\nfans of the original will probably see it as fairly pointless , but when you\u2019re plugged into the horror community , it\u2019s easy to forget that most people have never seen the french martyrs . whether it be the fact that they couldn\u2019t track down a copy , they heard about the gratuitous violence and decided to avoid it , or , probably most likely , they just didn\u2019t want to read subtitles , many people have never been exposed to the 2008 nihilistic genre mash up that combined three sub genres into one : supernatural , home invasion , and horrifying torture porn . in fact , removing some of the more abusive moments from the feature may actually play out well , with blumhouse now announced to produce , sticking to the bare minimum plot points while holding back on the barbaric antics will attract just the kind of crowds they\u2019re looking for \u2014 young adults who have never seen the original .\nultimately , horror movies can frighten us in lots of different ways , combining their inherent darkness with sly humour , adrenalin - fuelled scares , or with painterly splashes of gore . but martyrs is a rare creation : a 21 st - century film that subtly elicits all the sorrow of the preceding century , imbues its scenes of torture with a sense of vivid , heart - breaking pity , and forces us to really feel . is it painful to watch ? very much so . but worth the suffering ? absolutely .\nthe original french film , written and directed by pascal laugier , has attained cult status as one of the most grueling and upsetting of the recent era of horror cinema that nonetheless deserves critical plaudits\u2014more audition than a serbian film , in short . laugier is a provocateur with a fondness for narrative twists coupled with weighty political and philosophical themes , as demonstrated ( to solid but lesser effect ) in both his debut house of voices and more recent english - language thriller the tall man . his martyrs is in part an endurance test , a film that dares you to look away from its disgusting images even as it invites you to grapple with a story in which suffering plays a pivotal role . in reworking it for the no - subtitles english audience , that element of endurance is gone , and with it , the gut - punch of an ending which felt so earned is excised , in order to hurriedly wrap up a plot that now feels more trashy than weighty ."]}

tom\nnovels 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\nuncle tom\nhas 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 .\nbut edited back in for the fantastic fest audience , that last reel makes farewell uncle tom \u2019s 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 .\nthe 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\u2019s intent was to show how far blacks had progressed\u2014or regressed\u2014since 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\u2019s 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 .\ninstead , 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\u2014a film about the systematic dehumanizing of a people that subjected its cast to the same shocking acts it condemned .\nin 1973 , jerry gross\u2019 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 \u201ca betrayal . \u201d [ 17 ]\nin 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 .\nuncle 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\u2014and its numerous stage adaptations\u2014continued 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 .\nlate 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 , . . .\nbanned 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 . \u201cthe vile little crud - squad of jacopetti and prosperi\u201d has produced a \u201cvomit - bag of racism and perversion - mongering\u2026 the most disgusting , contemptuous insult to decency ever to masquerade as a documentary . \u201d he called the employment of haiti\u2019s poor in the film \u201ccruel exploitation . if it is tragic that the barbarism of slavery existed in this country , is it not also tragic \u2014 and enraging \u2014 that for a few dollars the producers of this film were able to reproduce and reenact that barbarism ? \u201d if the film is recalled fondly today , it is for ortolani\u2019s rapturous score ; the movie\u2019s theme song , \u201coh my love , \u201d appears on the soundtrack of the new ryan gosling film drive .\nthe 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\nfarewell uncle tom\n; 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 .\na still from goodbye uncle tom adorns the front cover of mark goodall\u2019s 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\u2014the blacks , their quarry . the camera flashes . the \u201cdead\u201d 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 \u201ctruth\u201d constructed out of clever fictions . nowhere else in the film are jacopetti and prosperi\u2019s intentions more unmistakably or brilliantly communicated .\nbut 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 , \u201coh my love , \u201d 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 .\nwhen 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 .\nbill 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\nvictim art\nby the new yorker critic arlene croce , but is now widely accepted as one of the most powerful artistic comments on the aids crisis .\none 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\u2014all while a jaunty period score plays in the background .\ni 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 .\nuncle 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\u2019s 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\u2019t 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 .\nanyone 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 .\nthere 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 .\nor as roger ebert wrote , \u201cthey have finally done it : made the most disgusting , contemptuous insult to decency ever to masquerade as a documentary . \u201d yet to be fair , one might point out that the \u201cmockumentary\u201d genre the film pioneers\u2014watkins 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 \u201cdocumentary\u201d\u2014was still an almost totally unfamiliar lexicon . ebert is arguably making a contemptuous insult to his readers\u2019 intelligence by thinking anyone would take uncle tom\u2019s claim to documentary at face value .\nsome of the footage in\nafrica addio\nwas 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\nfarewell uncle tom\nout of town .\nworks include : 1973 pas de deux for two ; ' 75 everybody works / all beasts count ; ' 78 baby doll ; ' 79 monkey run road ; ' 80 blauvelt mountain ; ' 80 valley cottage ; ' 83 intuitive momentum ; ' 83 naming things ; ' 84 freedom of information ; ' 89 forsythia ; ' 89 absence ; ' 90 last supper at uncle tom ' s cabin / the promised land ; ' 92 last night on earth ; ' 94 still / here ; ' 97 we set out early . . . visibility was poor ; ' 99 the breathing show ; 2003 reading , mercy and the artificial nigger .\nwith 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\u2019s music , is absolutely beautiful and also horrifying in its wrong - heaedness . it is addio zio tom summed up .\naddio 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 .\nbloody 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\u2019s candide . 1975\u2032s mondo candido is a sprawling psychedelic version of an alejandro jodorowsky movie . cun\u00e9gonde\u2019s ravagement by dozens of armor - clad soldiers is visualized as a bawdy comedic skit . in a scene that predates mel brook\u2019s 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 .\naccount of mrs . beecher stowe and her family , by an alabama man . - - uncle sam ' s emancipation . -

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\u2019s no question of his involvement in the depravity here , visited upon barely paid poverty - stricken haitians . even though there\u2019s a lot of movie magic on display there is a sense of despair and humiliation coming from these people that seems beyond acting ."]}

( maybe , in his next novel , brown could have robert langdon decode the opera for us ? )\nmozart showed amazing talent from early in childhood . already competent on the keyboard and violin , he started composing from the age of five and performed before european royalty . at 17 , he was enlisted as a court musician in salzburg , but grew restless of this and decided to travel in search of a better position , always composing abundantly . the requi\u00e8m mass in d minor was composed in vienna in 1791 and was left unfinished when mozart died on december 5th 1791 . a completion dated 1792 by franz xaver s\u00fcssmayr was delivered to count franz von walsegg , who had anonymously commissioned the piece for a requiem mass to commemorate the february 14th anniversary of his wife ' s death . a facsimile sheet of music from the dies irae movement of the\nrequiem mass in d minor\n( k . 626 ) in mozart ' s own handwriting . it is located at the mozarthaus in vienna .\nafter developing an interest in classical music , beethoven was , for many years , my musical hero . at the same time , i was being told\nsooner or later , there will be mozart .\ni resisted him and his music until i was given two recordings - his 26th and 27th piano concerti , and one of his wind concerti . suddenly , beethoven took a back seat . oh , if only mozart had lived to beethoven ' s age , how much richer our own lives would now be . while bach composed some absolutely thrilling short pieces , my overall taste in his music is limited .\ntake a quick look at the latest fiction bestseller list , and you ' ll find a familiar author topping the charts . it ' s dan brown with his latest blockbuster novel , the lost symbol \u2014 a grimly portentous book with an interesting connection to mozart ' s shrewdly playful opera , the magic flute .\nthen go and invert mozart or beethoven , reverse , upscale , hop step and jump the music and wow - - - you ' d be a musical genius - - - - only you wouldn ' t ! ! ! ! ! because you ' d be doing nothing more than rearranging someone elses genius . . . .\nmusic is and has always been a matter of preference when placing one composer over / beneath another . putting them into a top three list really equates them when considering them against all the other composers that have been or will be . unless you gave mozart a third placing because his music has\ntoo many notes .\n; - p\nthe length could have been shortened ! three hours of bad acting and constant reminders of how shitty fashion used to be in 1700 ' s is overkill . but , wonderful telling of mozart ' s personal life and accomplishment . were those love letters his words , verbatim ? how charming , not only was he a musical genuis , but a true romantic .\non world of opera , host lisa simeone presents mozart ' s the magic flute in a buoyant performance from the 2009 aix - en - provence festival . it features conductor rene jacobs and the academy of ancient music , along with tenor daniel behle as tamino and soprano anna - kristiina kaapola in the famously high - flying role of the queen of the night .\nmozart gave the queen of the night one of the most treacherous arias in all of opera :\nder hoelle rache\n\u2014\nhell ' s revenge .\nit ' s heard in act two , as the queen ( soprano anna - kristiina kaapola ) is asking her daughter pamina to murder sarastro , and includes four , famously stratsopheric , high f - naturals .\nan enlightening and enveloping reconstruction of wolfgang amadeus mozart ' s ( 1756 - - 1791 ) life . masterfully written and directed , every aspect of the film has been given thorough thought in order to ensure an accurate historical reconstruction . inspirational performances from the main actors and actresses foster captivation , while regular narrative interjections from the popular composer and conductor charles hazlewood brings an insightful , educational dimension .\nmozart ' s opera is in two acts , set in an unspecified time and place . as act one opens , we see a young prince , tamino , running for his life from a terrifying serpent . he ' s rescued by three ladies who serve the local ruler \u2014 the queen of the night . they go off to tell the queen about the young stranger they ' ve encountered .\nbut there was another facet to mozart - the adult thinker aware of the bigger picture , passionately attached to the progressive values of the enlightenment - impressively well - read , a speaker of most european languages ( even a little english ) , an austrian catholic , a freemason and above all a composer at the height of his formidable powers , determined to succeed in the most difficult and lucrative area of all - opera .\nopera lovers have long been in the same position when it comes to the magic flute . both mozart and the opera ' s librettist , emanuel schikaneder , were devoted freemasons , at a time when the masonic order was frowned upon by the authorities and mistrusted by the public . its meetings were mysterious to outsiders and the order was believed to be connected to the principles of the enlightenment , so established political leaders were a little nervous about it . the emperor of austria even restricted the number of masonic lodges allowed to operate in the country .\nmeanwhile , pamina endures trials of her own . she again has to escape the rapacious monostatos . she must also refuse her own mother ' s order that , to restore their family ' s power , she must murder sarastro . ( this command from the queen of the night is delivered in one of mozart ' s most famous arias \u2014 complete with four high f - naturals that seem to defy gravity , not to mention vocal chords . ) to top it off , pamina is falsely led to believe that tamino has rejected her . at one point she ' s on the brink of suicide , but is rescued by the three boys .\ni have the strong impression that\npure composing facility\ncounts for a very great deal in your estimation of these chaps , and also that you ' re too prone to letting books tell you what your opinions should be . did music history have its hands over its ears for the entirety of the 19th century ? because if influence over subsequent composers counts for anything , beethoven is greater in that regard than either bach or mozart . but this is apples and oranges , as they say . all three men were clearly the summit of their eras , and in that respect all were the greatest . anything beyond that is useless quibbling , and missing the point of the music .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\nwith jurassic world : fallen kingdom now in cinemas , we take a look at how imdb users rated the films of the franchise . plus , browse exclusive lego\u00ae jurassic world playsets , presented by lego .\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\nairsoft gi - $ 150 - $ 300 mid - level m4s . jg , elite force , airsoftgi g4 custom , and g & g\nbeethoven lives upstairs - 1992 [ greek subs by vas mous . ] _ arc . avi\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\ncongo : white king , red rubber , black death describes how . . .\nsave my name and email in this browser for the next time i comment .\nyeah , uh huh . . . you must have been damn well gassed when you posted that piece of horse manure .\nbach . . . is not a brook , but an ocean .\n- beethoven\nleopold was clearly not the only person able to perceive the depth and profundity of amadeus ' s genius . he was hailed far and wide by men and women of letters , and most conspicuously by franz joseph haydn who , writing to leopold , said ,\ni declare to you before god that your son is the greatest composer i know , either personally or by name .\ni like the simplicity and clarity that charles hazlewood explains music . i absolutely love it . many thanks .\nmr . kanamori , a teacher of a 4th grade class , teaches his . . .\nthere are several ways to be notified about new content on tdf . combined , there are more than 200k people following us through these channels :\nyou should sign up for our newsletter . it ' s a free compilation of all documentaries posted each week , straight to your inbox .\nthe subject who is truly loyal to the chief magistrate will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary measures .\nwelcome to the globe and mail\u2019s comment community . this is a space where subscribers can engage with each other and globe staff . non - subscribers can read and sort comments but will not be able to engage with them in any way . click here to subscribe .\nif you would like to write a letter to the editor , please forward it to letters @ urltoken . readers can also interact with the globe on facebook and twitter .\nwelcome to the globe and mail\u2019s comment community . this is a space where subscribers can engage with each other and globe staff .\nwe aim to create a safe and valuable space for discussion and debate . that means :\ndue to technical reasons , we have temporarily removed commenting from our articles . we hope to have this fixed soon . thank you for your patience . if you are looking to give feedback on our new site , please send it along to feedback @ urltoken . if you want to write a letter to the editor , please forward to letters @ urltoken .\ncomment : good condition . . . . canadian seller !

old mysteries of an ancient order . this time , it ' s the freemasons \u2014 a fraternity famous for secret rites and rituals , which in the novel threaten to bring down the entire u . s . government .\nof course , writing about masonic ceremonies can be a little bit dicey . the only people familiar with them are masons \u2014 and they ' re all sworn to secrecy . so the rest of us are kept guessing as to how much actual fact might be present in dan brown ' s fiction .\ntamino falls asleep , and wakes up to meet papageno \u2014 a funny - looking man dressed in colorful feathers and playing the panpipes . papageno says he ' s the queen ' s bird catcher . the two characters have virtually nothing in common . when papageno simply describes himself as\na man ,\ntamino is skeptical . still , the two quickly develop a bond .\nafter tamino and papageno finish sizing each other up , the ladies return and show tamino a picture of pamina , the queen of the night ' s daughter . tamino takes one look and falls in love . but pamina has been captured by sarastro , the queen ' s arch enemy , who is described as an evil fiend . when the queen of the night arrives in person , with her signature clap of thunder , she asks tamino to rescue her daughter . she gives him a flute with magic powers , and sends papageno along to help , with a magic instrument of his own \u2014 a set of chimes .\nthe scene changes to the realm of sarastro , where pamina is being held . she ' s alone with the treacherous monostatos , who seems intent on raping her . just then , papageno wanders in . he and monostatos scare each other half to death , and monostatos runs off . papageno leaves with pamina , to look for tamino .\nmeanwhile , three mysterious young boys have guided tamino to a temple with three doors . one of them , marked\nwisdom ,\nopens to reveal the temple of the orator . tamino asks about pamina , and the orator tells him that she ' s still alive . but to find her , tamino must first join the temple ' s holy order .\ntamino plays his magic flute , and in response he hears papageno ' s panpipes . papageno appears with pamina , and they ' re both running from monostatos . he ' s about to catch them when the mighty sarastro appears . he reprimands monostatos for his evil designs on pamina , and monastatos slinks off . sarastro then offers pamina and tamino the chance to be together . but first , he says , they must endure rituals of purification , and they ' re led into the temple .\nact two begins near a temple that ' s surrounded by palm trees . after a brief processional , sarastro and his priests say that tamino will be permitted to undergo the trials required to join their brotherhood . he will then be allowed to marry pamina . papageno also wants a wife , and may also undergo the trials , though he ' s more than a bit reluctant .\nby the end of the opera , both pamina and tamino have faced trials of fire and water , and have survived them together . papageno finally earns a wife \u2014 his female namesake , papagena . she turns out to be a real peach , though she first appears to papageno as a wrinkled hag who claims to be only\neighteen years and two minutes\nold . the queen of the night and her ladies make a desperate attempt to bring down sarastro ' s temple , but they ' re defeated amidst frightening storms and the queen vanishes into darkness .\nas the opera ends , sarastro ' s mysterious but apparently benevolent order has prevailed , granting all power to beauty and wisdom .\nthe documentary room 237 has been called a\ndiy mashup\nof the many theories put forward over the years as interpretations of stanley kubricks ' s 1980 horror classic , the shining . and there is good reason for viewers to puzzle over the film 33 years after its release : the shining tends to be opaque , even though its corridors are well - lit . i recently found what is arguably the most exhaustive examination of how kubrick adapted stephen king ' s novel into the script he wrote with diane johnson . click below to read the post and see how kubrick took king ' s novel and made movie history !\nunlike kubrick ' s famously unrealized biography of napoleon , the shining got made . stanley kubrick wrote and directed the shining with the intention of turning out a blockbuster , after the lush but relatively financially unsuccessful barry lyndon . the shining , more than any other of his films , has inspired hundreds of thousands , if not millions , of words devoted to finding the meaning behind the film , even though , or , especially because , kubrick himself was reluctant to discuss possible interpretations of his films , leaving it to the viewer to make up their own mind . ( allow me to say that i do not favor any of these theories over any other . i don ' t want to get pilloried in the comments ! ) none of which stopped blogger jonny53 , whose epic post ( it took me almost 12 hours to read ) is certainly the most exhaustive shining analysis on the internet . it will definitely , as jack torrance promised wendy ,\nbash your brains in ,\n( with exacting attention to detail , of course ) . prepare to go through the looking - glass , people .\nthe problem with criticism of the shining is that almost every interpretation tends to go off the rails at some point , i . e . , the film is really about native american genocide , or kubrick ' s guilt over faking the moon landing :\nthis one is no different . jonny53 ' s final conclusion seems to be that the numbers in the film point us towards 12 / 24 / 11 , which apparently was the date of the mayan apocalypse back in the 70s , before cooler heads prevailed and it was moved to the far more accurate date of 12 / 21 / 12 . he does make the excellent point that most of the people who have put forth interpretations of the film over the years have never actually read the novel , and that what kubrick did with the novel , and what he did with all of the novels he adapted to the screen , was to alter the content so that the story would be cinematic rather than literary . this is a challenge facing all filmmakers who are adapting someone else ' s work ( or even their own , from a different format ) .\ni can\u2019t think of any other movie where reading the source novel was so enlightening . . . many writers skim the surface when trying to compare the novel with the movie and then simply give up . you absolutely cannot have a thorough understanding of stanley kubrick\u2019s shining without looking at what he did to stephen king\u2019s story . ignoring the novel is crazy . . . [ he ] didn\u2019t randomly alter things from the novel as many readers think . he\u2019s inverted them .\nin the novel they\u2019re brought to the overlook in a red vw and have a yellow snowmobile up at the hotel . in the movie they\u2019re brought to the overlook in a yellow vw and have a red sno - cat up at the hotel . they ' re also saved in a red sno - cat . in the movie jack throws his yellow ball and in the novel danny plays with his red ball . stanley kubrick didn ' t just change the colors , he inverted the colors stephen king uses in the novel for these major props . look once at the vw in the opening credits of the movie ; you\u2019ll never forget that yellow color . ask anyone who\u2019s seen the film , they will be able to tell you what color the vw is . ask anyone who\u2019s read the novel and they probably won\u2019t .\nin the novel , the scrapbook containing the overlook ' s sordid past is a major plot device , and jack becomes obsessed with it and possessed by it . in the movie , it ' s seen only in passing , but has the same effect . when jack discovers the scrapbook , he loses interest in writing anything but that one phrase , and becomes obsessed with doing the\nduty\nof hotel caretaker , even if that means killing his wife and child . this is how , according to jonny53 , jack\nshines\nthe apparitions of lloyd and grady : he has seen them before , in the newspaper clippings in the scrapbooks . but we barely see the scrapbook , an element from the novel kubrick made subtly cinematic and almost subliminal without the heavy exposition of the novel , in which the provenance of the scrapbook is related in exacting detail .\neven better for kubrick , who was always playing games with the viewer , the first - time viewer will probably interpret lloyd and grady as ghosts , even though kubrick has made his\nghost story\nabout anything but , at least according to jonny53 . to him , it ' s a film about esp and telekinesis ( note the number of calumet cans behind jack and halloran ' s heads , respectively , while they are\nshining .\n) the first scene occurs precisely : 27 minutes into the film , and the second precisely : 27 minutes from the end of film , in the us version : the parallel edits jonny53 finds in the shining are remarkable . jack torrance has four more cans than halloran , meaning he\nshines\nmore , which is why halloran isn ' t able to predict his impending death at the hands of jack :\nit goes on and on . in the novel , wendy is a smart , independent blonde ; in the film , she is shelley duvall ' s mousey doormat ; in the book , there is no hedge maze , but rather hedge animals which move constantly ; in the novel , the overlook hotel wants danny for his power , but in the film , the hotel has no power at all , only a sort of\nshining\nwhich affects the whole torrance family , even though danny is the only one to know about it . in the film , both jack and wendy have the power of\nshining\n( jonny53 ' s basis for this is the line , delivered by halloran ,\nbut there are other folks , though mostly they don ' t know it , or don ' t believe it .\n) visually , kubrick shows us this by subtly giving the characters telekinesis , even if they themselves aren ' t aware of it . they can move furniture , and even make chairs appear and disappear at will ( also note the scrapbook in the foreground ) :\nfor many viewers , the question of whether or not we are dealing with the traditional cinematic supernatural is answered in the scene where jack is released from the freezer , evidently by the ghost of grady , the former caretaker . this is never made totally explicit ( in the novel , we see that it is a ghostly grady who leaves a drink and mallet for him outside the door , while in the film , the opening of the door is deliberately ambiguous ) :\njack and dick hallorann both have the same supernatural ability . it\u2019s no stretch of the movie ' s reality to see that jack also \u201cshines\u201d when he\u2019s locked in the storeroom . it\u2019s obvious that his ability to supernaturally move things ( telekinesis ) , and not the ghost of delbert grady , is what unlatches the storeroom door releasing him . . . this is what the shining is about , people with an unusual ability . there\u2019s no law that says stanley kubrick can\u2019t change , or hide from the audience , which cast members have this special ability , and just exactly what that ability is .\nin the novel , halloran lies in order to get up to the overlook . in the movie , he always tells the truth ( which means , if we believe what he says to his friend larry durkin , that ullman can\nshine ,\nsince he called halloran and told him to get up to the overlook . ) this is a very out - there theory , but is actually somewhat confirmed by the deleted scene cut by kubrick a week into the film ' s u . k . run . for any shining fanatic , or anyone interested in how a master filmmaker took a classic novel and adapted it into a classic film , this is required reading . i personally think jonny53 goes off the rails at the end with his theory that kubrick is subliminally encoding the date of the impending mayan apocalypse ( that ' s called apophenia ) , but jonny53 has done all fans of the shining , and moviemaking , a great service with his incredible eye for detail .\nthe best theory movie on the shining that i ' ve seen was\nkubrick ' s gold story\n. it ' s about american currency switches off the gold standard .\nkubrick was ' ait starting out , cut his teeth on some ok no - budget work , then got good fast . his reputation has also improved over time .\npeople deify him and put out documentaries like this , where every little drip of information is assumed to be motivated by his genius , then they use every drip to prove said genius . it ' s like when people use the bible to prove the infallibility of the bible .\nsk was most certainly one of the great directors , but i totally disagree with the notion that the quality of filmmaking is worse off now than it was then .\nnonsensical conspiracy theory run amuck . maybe room 237 was intended as a parody . entertaining yes , based on any fact no .\ni saw this at sundance and more than half the audience walked out before they could hear the theory that kubrick helped nasa fake the moon landings and the shining was his secret confession . i stayed through the whole thing , fascinated that this even got into the festival , and as a reward i got to hear the real truth behind the shining : it is a movie that was meant to be watched backwards .\nit was really a documentary on the online community of kubrick conspiracy theorists which to me actually was interesting . on the way out i heard another audience member say ,\nonce i realized they were crazy i actually enjoyed the film .\nmaybe that is the secret of room 237 . . .\ni saw it at afi and afterwards they actually did a screening of it backwards & forwards simultaneously , overlayed .\ni ' m surprised people didn ' t catch on right away . room 237 was pretty funny right from the start and got more so as it went along . i was wondering if the interviewees were upset when it came out and they realized they weren ' t being taken seriously .\ni ' ve read the reason there weren ' t any moving hedge animals in the film ( as were in the book ) was because kubrick just wasn ' t satisfied with the cgi technology at the time that would be required to create them .\nas for these overanalyses , you could probably find people who will dissect twilight or the hangover and come up with a comparable amount of nonsense .\nlike i said , this blogger goes off the rails , as do all of these other theories . the interesting thing to me was how kubrick changed the source novel .\ni get the impression kubrick cares more for the shot than continuity . i keep finding myself responding to discontinuities by noting that the composition of one or more shots involved would be compromised by adhering strictly to spacial continuity . i imagine a process where you do a take ; then some element of the background bothers you so you fix it and continue . then in editing you feel free to choose the best takes because you know people won ' t notice the discontinuities . you try it out on people .\ni feel the movie is about schizophrenia . this is reflected in wendy as women ' s intuition , a staple of cinematic devices . and danny represents innate childhood imagination and it ' s suppression , which is also a fairly common observation . ( my son is a tiger literally 75 % of the time . i saw an art show of 5 year olds recently and about 10 % of the paintings could sit along art in galleries and sell for thousands of pounds , assuming the painter could be constructed as the possessor of a career , history , development , personality , genius , godly vessel , madman , etc . i just realised how old - fashioned the art world is . and similarly , how old - fashioned this sort of critique is , which reads literally * everything * as an intentional act of often hidden communication . )\nclarification : jack ' s schizophrenia and psychosis , ie . hallucinations . which is contextualised and reflected . . .\nthe esp theory makes a lot of sense . except that in an interview with michel ciment ( linked to by another nofilmschool article ) stanley kubrick is asked :\nso you don ' t regard the apparitions as merely a projection of his mental state ?\n- to which he replies :\nfor the purposes of telling the story , my view is that the paranormal is genuine . jack ' s mental state serves only to prepare him for the murder , and to temporarily mislead the audience ."]}

( dwm 406 )\nas captain jack comes into the doctor ' s life again , the tardis is thrown to the end of the universe . as the last remnants of humanity struggle to reach\nutopia\n, unknown to all , the doctor ' s greatest enemy is about to rise again . . .\nthe tardis arrives at cardiff to refuel at the rift . the tenth doctor notes in surprise that the rift has been active , and so refuelling should only take 20 seconds . martha asks about the earthquake that happened in cardiff , to which the doctor replies ,\na bit of trouble with the slitheen .\na figure suddenly bolts toward the tardis screaming\ndoctor !\nfrom the distance . . .\nthe doctor , shocked , sees jack harkness running towards the tardis on the monitor and takes off . jack leaps onto the tardis as it dematerialises , and the tardis console sends out sparks , knocking the doctor and martha to the floor . the doctor is astonished that they are accelerating towards the future , ending up at the year 100 trillion \u2014 the end of the universe . jack holds on tightly to the tardis , screaming for the doctor as they hurtle through the time vortex . . . somewhere else , a humanoid face with fangs turns and announces that\nhumans are coming !\nin a desolate area , a human is running from the futurekind . within his laboratory , professor yana notes that there is movement on the surface : a\nhuman hunt\n. his assistant , chantho , asks if she should alert the guards . yana tells her not to , as they can ' t spare them . the professor is asked for a progress report over the radio but evades it by having chantho answer . while she speaks , he is unable to focus due to the sound of drums in his head . chantho gains his attention to show him that the surface scanner has now detected the tardis . he remarks ,\nit would seem something new has arrived . . .\nthe doctor tells martha that he doesn ' t know what is outside \u2014 none of the time lords ever came this far . gleeful at seeing the unknown , they leave the tardis . outside , they find jack on the ground . while martha rushes back into the tardis to get a medical kit , the doctor says to jack ,\noh , i ' m sorry .\nrealising that jack hung on all the way through the vortex , the doctor remarks that it is\nvery him\n. martha says that jack is dead , but just then he takes a deep breath and sits up , grabbing a shocked martha by the arms . jack immediately begins flirting with martha , and an annoyed doctor tells him not to start .\nthe doctor and jack greet each other tersely . the doctor playfully asks if jack has had any surgery , which jack scoffs\nyou can talk\n, as jack had not seen this incarnation yet . jack accuses the doctor of abandoning him , which the doctor shrugs off . jack asks after rose , having seen her on the list of the dead after the battle of canary wharf . the doctor happily tells jack that she is safe and sound on a parallel world along with mickey and jackie . jack and the doctor embrace in relief , while martha shows subtle resentment over the mention of rose again .\nthe futurekind are once again seen chasing the same man as before . jack tells martha of being stranded in the year 200 , 100 a . d after the doctor had left without him , much to her indignation . in response , the doctor coolly claims that he had been\nbusy\n. jack shows martha his vortex manipulator \u2014 which an unimpressed doctor considers a space - hopper in comparison to his\nsports car\ntardis \u2014 and explains that he had used the manipulator to try to get back to the 21st century , but ended up in 1869 and had to live through the following decades , basing himself at the rift until his life coincided with one of the doctor ' s incarnations that would know who he was . martha asks if the doctor just gets bored of his companions . jack says ,\nnot if you ' re blonde\n, to which martha displays sarcastic surprise at the fact rose was blonde , causing the doctor to become irritated at their complaining .\nthey come across a city - like conglomeration . when martha asks about humanity ' s fate , jack spots the man running from the futurekind . jack catches the man , and pushes him towards the doctor , drawing his service revolver . the doctor stops jack from killing the futurekind , and jack fires into the air , scaring them . the doctor plans to head for the tardis , but they are cut off by more futurekind . the four head for\nthe silo\n.\nthey approach the gates , with the futurekind closing the distance . the guard yells at them to show their teeth , admitting them to the silo once they show their normal human teeth . a soldier fires an assault rifle at the futurekind to force them back ; when jack remarks that the doctor didn ' t tell him to put his gun down , the doctor points out that the soldier is not his responsibility . the futurekind leader reluctantly orders his minions to fall back ; they retreat a short distance where they can keep watch on the silo . the man asks the soldier if he can be taken to utopia , which the soldier happily responds to affirmatively .\nprofessor yana learns that the doctor , who claims to be a scientist , is in the silo , and rushes upstairs to find him . the doctor asks for the men to help retrieve the tardis . the doctor is happy when he discovers that humans have survived to the end of the universe , remarking that though they\nspent a million years evolving into clouds of gas\n, they revert to the same form eventually .\njack flirts with a male refugee , with the doctor once again telling him to stop . jack helps the doctor open a deadlock seal , and the door opens to show a deep rocket shaft , into which the doctor blindly steps and nearly falls down before jack yanks him back . they see a large rocket in the shaft , with neither the doctor or jack recognising the engines . the doctor muses on what\nutopia\ncan mean if the universe is collapsing .\nthe professor arrives , dragging an amused doctor away , followed by martha and jack , but the four pass a woman whom nobody notices baring her teeth , revealing her to be one of the futurekind . back in the lab , jack immediately flirts with yana ' s alien assistant while the professor shows the doctor all the machines within the rocket . however , the doctor can ' t help , as the technology is unknown to him .\nmartha is shocked and disgusted to find the doctor ' s hand ( which jack describes as his\ndoctor detector\n) in a glass case in jack ' s backpack , and the doctor explains how he lost it\nchristmas day , in a sword fight\n. yana enquires as to the doctor ' s species , and the doctor is saddened that the time lords have never been heard of in this time . he then adds somberly that the end of the universe is a bit humbling for his species .\nchantho reveals that like the doctor she is also the last of her kind , the malmooth , and yana says that this was originally the malmooth homeworld malcassairo , before the humans took refuge . in response to jack ' s query about who the\nbeastie boys\nupstairs are , yana tells them of the futurekind , which in themselves are a myth . it is feared that they are what the humans will become , unless they reach utopia .\nyana shows the doctor the co - ordinates of utopia , supposedly a project of the science foundation to find a way to save mankind from the end of everything . yana once again hears the sound of drums . the doctor surmises that the rocket will not fly , but yana hasn ' t told the others to keep them from losing hope . impressed by this , the doctor applies what knowledge he has and uses the sonic screwdriver to get the system working . the passengers board the rocket , the outside guards secure the gate against the futurekind and retreat into the silo , and the doctor , yana , and jack work to speed up the launch process .\nthe doctor notices that some of the wires are odd looking . yana tells him they are crafted from gluten extract . he remarks to yana that he built the system of\nfood and string and staples\n, calling yana a genius who would be revered in a different time . yana admits wistfully that some admiration just once would have been nice . the doctor has also realised that yana must stay behind to launch the rocket , which the professor admits \u2014 chantho has refused to leave , and he considers himself too old for utopia , instead wishing for rest ( death ) . a message comes over the radio that the tardis has been found . the doctor gleefully remarks he may have a way for yana to go too , though yana barely hears him , for as he looks at the picture of the tardis , the sound of drums grows louder in his head . . .\nthe doctor uses the tardis to provide extra power . the professor tells the doctor of the sound of drums and how they are growing louder , as if they are getting closer ; he says that he has heard them all his life .\nchantho tells martha she has been with the professor for 17 years , letting slip her unrequited love for him , something martha sympathsises with . martha asks about the sentence structure she uses , starting sentences with\nchan\nand ending with\ntho\n. chantho replies that it would be rude not to , before trying once with a fit of the giggles .\natillo communicates with yana , who gives him instructions as the communication line fails and then gets martha to reboot the system every time the picture goes . atillo sends jate into the couplings room , which is flooded with stet radiation , to enable the launch with a gravity footprint .\nthe female futurekind damages the system , and jack and yana furiously try to correct the radiation levels . finally , jack sends a massive ( and lethal ) current through his body in order to jump - start the override system , but jate is vaporised by the stet radiation . as the doctor points out , no one can enter the room without dying , but as jack comes back from the dead , remarks he has got just the man for the job .\nthe doctor and jack race down to the couplings room \u2014 ordering atillo to board the rocket \u2014 and jack asks the doctor how long he has known that he is immortal . the doctor grimly replies ,\nsince i ran away from you\n, as jack enters the couplings room \u2014 unlike his predecessor , he just winces instead of disintegrating . as they watch the process , martha tells yana and chantho of the doctor ' s ability to travel through time and space . yana has new sounds in his head , including the reverberating word\ntardis\n.\njack explains that it wasn ' t until 1892 that he found out he was immortal after getting killed in a fight on ellis island , then waking from death . his past deaths included falling off a cliff ; getting trampled by horses ; world war i ; world war ii ; poison ; starvation . . . even a stray javelin . the doctor tells jack that to him he is\nwrong\n\u2014 a fixed point in time and space , a fact . just looking at him is an effort for the time lord . even the tardis knew what jack was \u2014 it had travelled to the end of the universe to try to shake him off !\njack recalls facing three daleks and his death at their hands , and the doctor explains about rose and the bad wolf entity , remarking that if a time lord had done what she did , they would have become a powerful and vengeful god . the doctor then tells jack that because of her humanity and compassion , rose used her new - found power to bring him back to life , but unable to control the power , the transformation was irrevocable ; the doctor muses that\nthe final act of the time war was life\n. when jack asks if rose could reverse the process , the doctor replies that not only did he remove the power from her , but she is trapped in the parallel universe and can ' t return home . jack says that he went back to the powell estate in the 1990s , never letting rose see him ( to avoid temporal contamination ) but watching her growing up . when asked if he still wants to die , jack admits that he isn ' t sure anymore . the doctor points out that jack has the potential to meet other incarnations of himself across time \u2014 and that he might still be around in this time \u2014 joking that\nit ' s the only man you ' re ever gonna be happy with\n. as jack says that this new regeneration is a cheeky one ,\nregeneration\nis another word added to those reverberating around yana ' s head . . .\nyana is in tears , remembering stories of time travel from the old days that he never believed . he pulls out a fob watch , remarking that he was always late with time and the watch never worked . martha is shocked , recalling the doctor having a similar watch which he used to become human to avoid the family of blood . she asks where he got it , and yana remarks that he was found with the watch ,\nan orphan in the storm\n, on the coast of the silver devastation . yana says it is broken , and martha asks how he could know if he has never opened it . martha turns over the watch and finds gallifreyan inscriptions on it .\nmartha rushes to find the doctor , having inadvertently piqued yana ' s interest in the watch . the countdown for launch begins . martha tells the doctor of the watch , and the doctor dismisses the idea as impossible . jack says he may not be the last time lord , and martha says it should be brilliant news \u2014 though the doctor says it depends just which time lord yana is . the doctor yells at martha , desperate to know exactly what yana said .\nas yana inspects the watch , malevolent voices call to him from it , demanding that he open it . jack remarks that the end of the universe is the perfect place to hide , and martha recalls the dying words of the face of boe :\nyou are not alone\n\u2014 for which\nyana\nis an acronym \u2014 and the professor opens the watch . a burst of golden energy swirls into the professor ' s face and radiates through the laboratory , which astonishes chantho . the rocket launches , and the futurekind watch in frustration as it leaves . chantho tries to speak to the professor , but the look in his eyes has changed \u2014 they are now dark and sinister .\nyana deliberately closes all the doors , barring the entrance of the doctor , martha and jack to the laboratory , then coolly opens the front gates , allowing entrance by the futurekind to the silo . chantho frenetically attempts to reason with him , but he fails to yield . she holds a gun to yana to try to stop him , but he advances on her with high - voltage cable in hand . as the doctor and the others try to get back to the lab \u2014 having to double back after running into the futurekind \u2014 yana blames chantho for never asking about the watch and spitting that her constant\nchan\nand\ntho\ndrove him insane . chantho begs\nthe professor\nfor his forgiveness , but he shouts that it is not his name \u2014 merely a disguise so perfect he forgot his own identity . when a terrified chantho asks who he really is , he replies ,\ni . . . am . . . the master ,\nbefore electrocuting her with the cable as the doctor , martha , and jack reach the lab and try to get in . as the master pulls the cable from the tardis , chantho shoots him before dying . jack finally smashes the control panel to open the door , but the master retreats into the tardis , putting the catch on the lock to prevent the doctor getting in with his key as well as deadlocking it against the sonic screwdriver .\nas the doctor shouts desperately that everything ' s changed , jack and martha struggle to close the lab ' s door against the futurekind . fatally injured , the master fumes on being killed\nby an insect . . . a girl . . .\nand then proclaims that if the doctor can be young and strong , so can he . with a deranged wail , the master explodes in a spectrum of regeneration energy , his eyes glow violently , and he changes into a younger form , collapsing to the floor as the pain of his regeneration overwhelms him . the doctor stands outside his tardis aghast and helpless while martha and jack desperately block the futurekind from gaining entrance . now a new , even more psychotic version of himself , the master springs up from the tardis floor . laughing in triumph , the master uses the tardis ' intercom to speak to the doctor \u2014 sarcastically remarking about his past propensity to tell the doctor his plans and remarking that he won ' t do so this time \u2014 and martha realises that she knows his voice . the doctor begs him to stop , to which the master demands that he use his name . the doctor then says ,\nmaster . . . i ' m sorry .\nthe master pauses and shouts ,\ntough !\nas he prepares the tardis for launch . the doctor uses the sonic screwdriver and stops the launch momentarily . the master overrides it and gleefully bids the three a sarcastic goodbye . the tardis dematerialises as the doctor looks on in horror , while the futurekind pound at the door . . .\nnot every person who worked on this adventure was credited . the absence of a credit for a position doesn ' t necessarily mean the job wasn ' t required . the information above is based solely on observations of the actual end credits of the episodes as broadcast , and does not relay information from imdb or other sources .\nthough not credited in the original broadcast roll , simon c . holden was depicted in con : ' ello , ' ello , ' ello as a visual effects supervisor , and appeared to have been particularly involved with the john simm / derek jacobi regeneration sequence \u2014 which logically would have made him an on - set visual effects supervisor . it ' s unclear why the credited on - set visual effects supervisor , barney curnow , did not represent the visual effects crew on confidential for this episode .\nrose tyler is mentioned , including reference to the battle of canary wharf and that she lives now in a parallel world with mickey smith and jackie tyler .\nthe tardis rushes through the vortex trying to escape jack harkness , who clings to its side .\nthe doctor lists the years 1 , 000 , 000 , 000 , 5 , 000 , 000 , 000 , 5 , 000 , 000 , 000 , 000 , and 50 , 000 , 000 , 000 , 000 as the tardis accelerates into the far future until it finally settles at the end of the universe .\nthis episode is part of a continuous arc ( the end of one episode immediately leading into another ) that begins in the torchwood episode captain jack harkness , develops in the torchwood episode end of days , switches over to doctor who in this one , continues in the sound of drums and concludes in last of the time lords .\n. his first line in the role , as\nprofessor yana\n, was :\nthere ' s movement on the surface . another human hunt . god help him .\nhis first line as the master proper was :\nnot to worry , my dear . as one door closes , another must open .\nthough brief , this was the debut performance for john simm as the master . his first line in the role was :\nnow then , doctor . ooo , new voice . hello , hello . hello . anyway , why don ' t we stop and have a nice little chat while i tell you all my plans and you can work out a way to stop me , i don ' t think .\nthis episode marks the start of the first 3 - part story since survival , which also featured the master . in terms of actual screen time , it is actually more the equivalent of an old - style 6 - part episode , making this the first story of that sort since 1979 ' s the armageddon factor ( shada would have been this length if completed , but in its official release is much shorter ) . in terms of its overall time slot , it is the first story to span three hours since the two doctors .\nthis episode was not originally promoted as being connected to the finale two - parter .\nthis episode shows flashbacks from the parting of the ways , the christmas invasion , gridlock , and human nature .\neach sentence heard from the watch were spoken by derek jacobi and roger delgado respectively , the latter taken from an audio clip from classic series episode the d\u00e6mons , and the chuckle is anthony ainley ' s trademark laugh from his classic series appearances , though it is not ( currently ) known which specific episode the audio clip is taken from . delgado and ainley ( both now deceased ) portrayed the master . eric roberts gave permission to use audio of him as the master from the doctor who tv movie but fox refused permission , so the clip was cut .\ngraeme harper ' s penchant for including a distorted image of a main character is present in this story . though not included in every single story he ' s directed for bbc wales , it ' s seen often enough to be considered something of a directorial\nsignature\n. similar distortion is achieved through the use of other magnifying glasses in the unicorn and the wasp and army of ghosts , a curved window in journey ' s end , and with mirrors in turn left . this time , it ' s the master that ' s under the magnifying glass .\nfor the first time , three names are presented in the opening credits ; prior to this only the doctor and his\ncurrent\ncompanion ' s names were ever displayed , even when the series featured other actors as companions , such as barrowman and noel clarke . hereafter , most guest companions ( such as the returning martha jones in the sontaran stratagem and the multiple companions of the stolen earth / journey ' s end ) receive similar credit treatment .\nthis story features the second regeneration scene in which the time lord subject is shown to be standing , and the first time in the revived series where a time lord other than the doctor visibly regenerates .\nthis is the sixth televised doctor who story which actually shows a regeneration occurring within the doctor ' s tardis . it was preceded by the tenth planet , destiny of the daleks , the caves of androzani , time and the rani , and the parting of the ways . additionally , spearhead from space implies , and comic : the night walkers confirms , that the regeneration resulting in the third doctor actually occurred in the tardis as well . since then , the day of the doctor , the time of the doctor and twice upon a time showcase the beginning of the regeneration in the war doctor ' s regeneration into the ninth doctor , the eleventh doctor ' s regeneration into the twelfth doctor and the latter ' s regeneration into the thirteenth doctor respectively .\njust before the start of the opening credits , the scene shifts from showing jack clinging onto the tardis as it flies through the vortex to the futurekind preparing for a human hunt . according to the dvd commentary , this had to be done , otherwise the opening credits \u2014 showing the tardis flying through the vortex \u2014 would have felt out of place without jack being seen clinging to the outside . david tennant and russell t davies joke that they could have re - made the titles with jack clinging onto the tardis and that a\nspecial edition\nmay be released in the future with a computer - generated captain jack attached to the tardis .\nthis is the first episode to identify the severed hand jack possesses as belonging to the doctor .\ncaptain jack last appeared in torchwood episode end of days . this episode continues directly from the end of that episode , which had been first broadcast six months earlier . he last appeared in doctor who itself in the parting of the ways .\nthis is the first time in the revived series that the doctor uses his sonic screwdriver in a vertical fashion , reminiscent of his old sonic screwdrivers .\nin doctor who adventures issue 22 it mentions the doctor and martha\ndiscovering\nutopia , suggesting that it is a real place .\njohn bell ( who played creet ) won his role on the british children ' s television show blue peter during a doctor who special that aired the same night .\njack ' s immortality is finally explained : when rose tyler as the bad wolf resurrected him , she couldn ' t control the power and brought him back forever as a living fixed point in time .\nif you ' d like to talk about narrative problems with this story \u2014 like plot holes and things that seem to contradict other stories \u2014 please go to this episode ' s discontinuity discussion .\nwhen jack goes through the time vortex , he clings onto the tardis . at the start the windows are clearly blue , reflecting the vortex , but when zoomed out , they are white .\nwhen martha asks about the cardiff earthquake , the doctor claims that he\nhad a little trouble with the slitheen .\nadditionally , he claims he was a\ndifferent man\nback then . ( tv : boom town )\njack scoffs at the doctor for asking if he ' s had any cosmetic work done , referring to the doctor having regenerated since he last saw him . ( tv : the parting of the ways ) cassandra made a similar remark when she saw the tenth doctor , ( tv : new earth ) believing the ninth doctor underwent plastic surgery since their last encounter . ( tv : the end of the world )\njack refers to the human race as\nfantastic\n, to the delight of the doctor . ( tv : rose - the christmas invasion )\nyana tells the doctor that he hears\nthe sound of drums .\n( tv : the sound of drums , last of the time lords , the end of time )\nyana states that he was found naked on the banks of the silver devastation , which is also where some believed the face of boe was from . ( tv : the end of the world )\nyana hears a phrase in the voice of a previous incarnation of the master whilst being tempted by the chameleon arch biodata module . ( tv : the d\u00e6mons )\nthe doctor had also previously referred to the human race as\nindomitable\nduring his fourth incarnation . ( tv : the ark in space )\nthe doctor previously referred to himself as a doctor of\npractically everything\nduring his third ( tv : spearhead from space ) fifth ( tv : four to doomsday ) and ninth ( comic : the cruel sea ) incarnations . here , he apparently drops the word\npractically\n.\nthe doctor says that not even the time lords had ever travelled this far into the future . the fifth doctor revealed that there was a rule among the time lords that they mustn ' t travel beyond a certain time . ( tv : frontios )\njack isn ' t the first to grab onto the exterior of the tardis as it dematerialises . father kreiner also managed this in prose : interference - book two .\nthe doctor states that the rift had recently been active . this was due to owen harper activating torchwood three ' s rift manipulator in hopes he would find diane holmes and fracturing the rift in the process , the repairing of the rift , and the following chaos wrought by abaddon and bilis manger . ( tv : captain jack harkness / end of days )\nchantho would become the first of three women to kill the master : chantho , lucy saxon , ( tv : last of the time lords ) and missy , the master ' s own future incarnation . ( tv : the doctor falls )\nthis story has been released along with the sound of drums and last of the time lords on the series 3 volume 4 dvd .\ncontrary to common belief , season 10 kicked off in the last week of december 1972 \u2014 not in 1973 , as would be expected . season 10 actually began nine years after season 1 started . in fact , the three doctors began nine years to the week after the daleks first aired .\nin 2013 , mcgann reappeared as the lead in the mini - episode the night of the doctor .\nfor the purposes of this list ,\nseries 4\nis considered to be the production series 4 , which ran all the way from time crash to the end of time ."]}

[ 5 ]\nthe first half of this book is almost as good as valnir ' s bane . what made me put down the series altogether though was the length of the climax . it ' s a 2 - part climax and , if you look at them both together , it ' s 70 pages long . 70 pages of blow - by - blow fighting , with tiny font . it gets boring after a while . another thing that annoyed me a little , not just with the broken lance but with the series as a whole , was that everything was so conveniently timed . they * small spoilers * find franka seconds before she ' s killed , they just happen to be under the bridge when the cannon is crossing over it , the sorceress just happens to be planning to attack the fort when the group gets there , shaedar just happens to be in the cave talking with the ratmen as reiner and giano were leaving , reiner just happens to report to gutzmann just as abel is ratting him out , it ' s all too convenient . i haven ' t yet read tainted blood , but i hope that ' s not the case in there as well . * spoilers over * the new blackhearts are rather forgettable . they show up when it ' s necessary to and have a very small amount of dialogue and three of them just seem like plot devices than actual characters . while the last 1 / 4 to half of the book isn ' t the best and is a little boring , the first half is nearly as good as valnir ' s bane . if you ' re going to buy this book , maybe just skim the final battle rather than read it word for word .\nbest historical album * * * winner : the cutting edge 1965\u20131966 : the bootleg series , vol . 12 ( collector & apos ; s edition ) \u2014 steve berkowitz and jeff rosen , compilation producers ; mark wilder , mastering engineer ( bob dylan ) music of morocco from the library of congress : recorded by paul bowles , 1959 \u2014 april g . ledbetter , steven lance ledbetter , bill nowlin and philip d . schuyler , compilation producers ; rick fisher and michael graves , mastering engineers ( various artists ) ork records : new york , new york \u2014 rob sevier and ken shipley , compilation producers ; jeff lipton and maria rice , mastering engineers ( various artists ) vladimir horowitz : the unreleased live recordings 1966\u20131983 \u2014 bernard horowitz , andreas k . meyer and robert russ , compilation producers ; andreas k . meyer and jeanne montalvo , mastering engineers ( vladimir horowitz ) waxing the gospel : mass evangelism and the phonograph , 1890\u20131900 \u2014 michael devecka , meagan hennessey and richard martin , compilation producers ; michael devecka , david giovannoni , michael khanchalian and richard martin , mastering engineers ( various artists )\nactor : jose ferrer in\ncyrano de bergerac\n, louis calhern in\nthe magnificent yankee\n, william holden in\nsunset boulevard\n, james stewart in\nharvey\n, spencer tracy in\nfather of the bride\nactress : judy holliday in\nborn yesterday\n, anne baxter in\nall about eve\n, bette davis in\nall about eve\n, eleanor parker in\ncaged\n, gloria swanson in\nsunset boulevard\nsupporting actor : george sanders in\nall about eve\n, jeff chandler in\nbroken arrow\n, edmund gwenn in\nmister 880\n, sam jaffe in\nthe asphalt jungle\n, erich von stroheim in\nsunset boulevard\nsupporting actress : josephine hull in\nharvey\n, hope emerson in\ncaged\n, celeste holm in\nall about eve\n, nancy olson in\nsunset boulevard\n, thelma ritter in\nall about eve\ndirector : joseph l . mankiewicz for\nall about eve\n, george cukor for\nborn yesterday\n, john huston for\nthe asphalt jungle\n, carol reed for\nthe third man\n, billy wilder for\nsunset boulevard\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ?

gun and his own style of justice to preserve it . now those days are over .\nnot only do folks prefer due process in settling disputes , but three of his four grown sons are giving him troubles . they resent the old man\u2019s rough fathering , and the oldest ( richard widmark ) has ideas about modernizing the family\u2019s operation . they also hate him for the affection he gives to his youngest son , joe ( robert wagner ) .\na twist in the plot is that joe is a half - breed . the boys\u2019 father married the daughter of an indian chief after the death of his first wife . this may have been common in the time of the frontier , but not anymore . joe\u2019s mixed parentage also makes him unacceptable marriage material by the father of the girl he\u2019s fallen for ( jean peters ) .\nthe film is about the fall of a patriarch . his fortunes turn after some of his old - style intimidation of those who cross him get him dragged into court . a copper mining outfit sues him for damages over a disagreement about use of water rights . the older sons reject the settlement deal and joe ends up spending three years in prison .\nstruck down by a stroke , the old man spends his last days in the care of his wife ( katy jurado ) , while the older sons do what they want with the ranch . out of prison , joe has scores to settle with his three brothers . their differences are finally resolved with the assistance of an indian employee of the ranch .\ncomes at a time when the hollywood stereotype of the bloodthirsty savage indian was changing . the film makes a point of dignifying them , though only as pacified members of a subdued race . prejudice against them and objecting to intermarriage are regarded by the film as narrow - minded , if not racist .\nlike the lone ranger ' s tonto , however , their function is to be faithful retainers . they come to the aid of spencer when he ' s outnumbered by the angry copper mine workers . they show up at his funeral to play their drums in respect for the departed . the appearance of a wolf at points in the film suggests the continuing of animist culture and traditions somewhere off camera . but for hollywood , it\u2019s indian lite .\nrobert wagner is a bland presence in the film . he seems to remember his lines but delivers them with a flatness that always makes me wonder about his appeal . spencer tracy , on the other hand , fully inhabits his role . he commands every scene he is in , whether scolding the plaintiff\u2019s attorney from the witness stand or trying to dissuade his oldest son from selling off part of the ranch .\nthis latter scene with widmark is played out in a single five - minute take , each man on one side of the cinemascope frame . spencer is sitting , recuperating from a stroke ; widmark stands , declining to take a seat and fiddling with a leather glove . the pacing , performances , and delivery are a simple yet masterful portrayal of the shifting dynamic between the two characters .\nin secondary roles are hugh o\u2019brian and earl holliman as the two other brothers . o\u2019brian , who had not yet gained fame as tv\u2019s bat masterson , seems always to fade into the background , probably for that reason . the talent least appreciated in the film is mexican actress katy jurado , playing a native american . the script provides her with few lines , and she\u2019s rarely given more to do than offer a worried look when there\u2019s something to be worried about .\ncredit is due to the stuntmen for some breathtaking stunt work near the end of the film as one character pursues another over a rocky terrain . both take long dives into a stagnant pool of water that seems surely to harbor brain - dashing boulders under the surface . also , the costumers get a nod from me for tracy ' s lbj - style stetson . it ' s perfect for him .\naccording to imdb . com , director edward dmytryk had an abusive father and left home at an early age . you wonder how much of this finds its way into the complexity of spencer\u2019s character . the man is likable but capable of violent outrages against his older sons . that he has alienated them is his own fault , and their grievances are clearly justified .\na member of the communist party briefly during wwii , dmytryk ended up doing time for refusing to comply with the huac hearings . later , agreeing to name names , he resumed what became a long directing career in hollywood , though like elia kazan , he lost friends as a result of the whole blacklisting ordeal .\n) . ironically , his credits show him to be a \u201cfront\u201d for a blacklisted screenwriter during the 1950s .\ni thought wagner was miscast in this , like you i also thought he lacked any ability ? however , widmark and the great spencer tracy !\nkeep the film alive . not one of the best films .\ni saw this many many years ago but truth be told , it was never one of my favorites . like you , i thought robert wagner was lost in the role . ' bland ' is a good word to describe wagner ' s early career . he had zero charisma . but as he got older , he seemed to acquire charisma . not everyone of these early mr . blandings ever did . richard widmark was not the best actor in the world , certainly , but he was born with charisma and that carried him through . that and the gorgeous blond hair , of course . i ' m fond of actors with blond hair . : ) hugh o ' brian did achieve charismatic status as wyatt earp - no question . i think it was the profile . : ) i always liked katy jurado , i wish she ' d been given more to do in her long career . she always played similar roles . i remember her in a very similar role in one eyed jacks where she played karl malden ' s long suffering wife . i enjoyed reading your post very much . if i ' d been in the audience when elia kazan showed up at the oscars i ' d have booed too .\naccording to my notes in brian garfield ' s western films , i first saw this as a kid in 1954 , then again in 1988 , and finally a few months ago . not a big favorite but i enjoyed it . garfield mentions this is a remake of house of strangers starring edward g . robinson as the father , and then remade again as a circus movie , the big show .\nrobert wagner made one great film . a kiss before dying . he ruined a lot of other ones . but anything with spencer tracy is worth a look .\nrobert wagner didn ' t seem lost in the role to me . i don ' t know what many of you were expecting . theatrics ?\nfarm -

make of house of strangers , the joseph l mankiewicz crime drama that was also re - made in the big - top setting of the big show . still , despite the claims for akira kurosawa ' s ran , this is the definitive screen version of the bard ' s celebrated work , and the western setting provides a dimension of grandeur : it ' s no accident , surely , that this was one of the first subjects used to show off the then new cinemascope process .\na cattle baron ' s son seeks revenge on his three wayward stepbrothers for driving their father to an early grave and then seizing control of the family business he worked tirelessly to build up . epic western loosely based on shakespeare ' s king lear , starring spencer tracy , robert wagner , richard widmark and earl holliman .\nwebsite is owned and published by immediate media company limited . urltoken \u00a9 immediate media company ltd 2018 .\nurltoken no longer supports internet explorer 9 or earlier . please upgrade your browser .\nwe are continually improving the quality of our text archives . please send feedback , error reports , and suggestions to archive _ feedback @ nytimes . com .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nspencer tracy stars in this fine western of a tough cattle baron who is not above taking the law into his own hands to deal with rustlers and trespassers . the film also dwells on the internal strife within the family as three of the rancher ' s adult sons quarrel over the old man ' s mistreatment of them and resent his marriage to an indian woman . the story is told in flashback and begins with the release from prison of robert wagner , tracy ' s son from the union with his younger wife . the film is a quest for revenge by wagner who blames his half brothers for tracy ' s death while he was behind bars , with richard widmark being the leader and instigator against wagner . jean peters appears as wagner ' s love interest and katy jurado is tracy ' s comanche princess . tracy ' s destruction of mining property gets him into big trouble and it is wagner who takes the blame for tracy and goes to prison instead of his father , which is the final break between the four brothers . the film was shot in cinemascope and captures the beautiful expanses of the old west .\nwhen this film came out , the main attraction was that it was in cinemascope and i cannot remember where this system was better used . this is a great film , one of the best westerns ever made . it starts with a wolf running in the giant landscape and finishes with a wolf howling and kathy jurado smiling because she knows what it means . robert wagner is called joseph , and has a lot in common with joseph in the bible , because of the way he is treated by his brothers from a different mother , and specially on the issue of forgiveness , which in this case will be represented by whether he will seek revenge or not . spencer tracy is the patriarch , he also has in common with the biblical jacob the fact that he worked so many years . richard widmark is the son who cannot forgive tracy for having married jurado , and for having treated him so hard . when he tries to explain to tracy why he hates him , tracy gives a great answer telling him that the gates were always open , he could have left like tracy did in his youth , and the fact that he did not leave reveals widmark ' s blind ambition . tracy and sons fight the people on a copper plant which is polluting the river in a scene very reminiscent of the family going against the railroad in\nduel in the sun\n. make sure to see this film on widescreen .\nthis was a little bit different of a western in that a significant segment of the film deals with a trial . spencer tracy is excellent as always , this time playing a rough patriarch , head of the\ndevereaux\nfamily . in fact , he ' s the main attraction of the movie despite a bunch of well - known actors and actresses in here . of the rest of that crew - robert wagner , jean peters , richard widmark , katy jurado , hugh o ' brien , earl holliman , eduard frans and e . g . marshall - only widmark plays a memorable character . if the story was a memorable as the cast this would have been super . as it was , it was pretty forgettable , and i am a big fan of westerns . irs disappointing .\nsuperb cast with actors of stature in minor roles . probably the most notable performance of spencer tracy ' s career . great plot seething with bitterness . the emotional climax is reached when spencer tracy finds himself being stabbed in the back by his friends .\ni put you in that governor ' s chair and i can pull it out from under you ,\nhe rages . this is followed by a pathetic scene where he rides out to seek revenge only to collapse with a heart attack .\nthis movie has a great cast with spencer tracy as the father and owner of a large ranch and and his sons played by robert wagner , richard widmark , and hugh o ' brian as his sons . tracy has been in charge a long time and has a lot of power that got e . g . marshall elected governor . but everything starts going downhill when two of his sons are caught stealing cattle and tracy kicks them out . the sons don ' t think they are being paid enough and richard widmark is the first one to turn on his father when he goes on trial for destroying a rival ' s property . robert wagner is the only one to stand up for his father and he winds up going to jail . katy jurado plays tracy ' s wife and also was in high noon and one -

one that may bring him home .\nbut , like the movie , let me start at the beginning . we are introduced to a glamorous lady , a british dude and their son . the lady turns out to be gillian anderson , who has retired from the x - files to go be a suburban housewife and the british dude is a theoretical physicist , a profession which is apparently back in fashion in the movies , despite the fact that , following the post - cold - war funding cuts , most people doing theoretical physics can\u2019t afford to own a home , certainly not one in the posh suburbs of toronto .\nthe british dude ( gabriel ) goes for a conference and never returns . before he leaves for the conference erol , their son , pulls an old fashioned pocket watch out of his dad\u2019s waistcoat . we know this pocket watch is going to be a major plot device later because when something so inconsequential is commented on at the beginning of a movie , it usually turns out to be very important later on . plus , the pocket watch is on the dvd cover .\ngillian deals with the disappearance of her husband with medication , erol deals with it by being wooden . gillian\u2019s father , also a physicist , studies gabriel\u2019s notebooks and comes to the conclusion gabriel has built a time machine and gone into the past to speak with albert einstein .\nerol goes to grandpa and woodenly asks him if all this time machine thing is on the level . grandpa , his eyes full of tears , says yes , the time machine story is real . erol woodenly begins work on the time machine . erol is wicked smart . we know this because he comes to class late , doesn\u2019t do any home work , but still aces every test grandpa ( who\u2019s his high -

travel using a stabilized wormhole . sal believes that gabe traveled back to 1946 to meet with albert einstein . sal asks for erol\u2019s help in recreating the science so that they can prevent gabe\u2019s disappearance and alter their current timeline for the better . erol dismisses the idea .\nbecause the work consumes all of his time , grace eventually learns of erol\u2019s intent to go back in time . she worries that if he changes the past , they may not end up together in an altered timeline . as the argument between them escalates , grace reveals that she is pregnant . when she threatens to leave , erol agrees to abandon the wormhole research to concentrate on his relationship with grace and start a family .\ngrace loses the baby . convinced that the universe is guiding him towards realizing an idealized life instead of the crumbling one he has , erol decides to complete the time travel research with sal . from an archived newspaper clipping , erol discovers a story about an unidentified man found shot in an alley in 1946 . erol assumes it was gabe since he sees his father\u2019s pocket watch lying on the ground beside the body in the photo . sal and erol reconstruct the time machine and erol goes back to 1946 .\nerol confronts his father in 1946 and reveals his identity , along with what the consequences were of gabe having disappeared in 2000 . gabe agrees to return , but only after meeting einstein and finishing his research . to motivate his father to choose family over his work , erol suddenly shoots himself in the head . gabe returns to the year 2000 and greets his wife and son on the doorstep of their home .\nin the year 2000 , theoretical researcher gabriel whyte says goodbye to his wife marika and his nine - year - old son erol as he leaves for a three - day visit to princeton university . no one ever sees him again . by 2012 , erol has grown into a gifted young scientist himself and goes on to a relationship with his childhood sweetheart grace . meanwhile , marika still grieves for her lost love with a regular cocktail of prescription pills and persistent depression .\nwhen tragedy continues striking at what remains of the whyte family , erol\u2019s university professor grandfather sal posits a possible solution . having discovered gabe\u2019s research secreted away in a dim basement , sal comes to believe that gabe neither died nor disappeared . he went back in time to visit albert einstein in 1946 . as crazy as that sounds , sal needs erol\u2019s mathematical mind to puzzle out the physics involved in recreating the wormhole experiment and bringing gabe back to change the present .\nlike many time travel stories , the script asks viewers to close their eyes and hum during certain scenes . a key detail involves a newspaper clipping from 1946 showing a dead man from behind in possession of the whyte family pocket watch . it is dubious that a news story about an unidentified man would specifically not show the man\u2019s face and of course , if the photo did , the entire plotline would go up in a smoke . it is just one of those necessary conveniences that a story like this has to cheat in order to make things work .\nother clich\u00e9s vary in how forgivable they are . frankly , the ending is too abrupt to be fully satisfying , even though it absolutely works story -

assured and sensitive direction by prasanna vithanage and an extraordinary performance by veteran actor joe abeywickrama as vannihamy , the film ' s main character , combine to produce an intensely dramatic story about one man ' s struggle with the tragedies caused by the war .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthe writer of this review was only able to see this film by attending the festival of recent sri lankan films ( 14 - 18 february ) held at the alliance fran\u00e7aise\u2014an institution connected to the french embassy in sri lanka . at this festival a video of the film was projected onto a larger screen , and it has to be stated here that this manner of viewing the film prevents this writer from doing it full justice . despite this disadvantage it is clear that vithanage ' s film is a powerful work and one that will resonate with all those confronting the escalating number of tragedies produced by a war that has claimed at least 55 , 000 lives and left many more maimed , homeless and poverty stricken .\nthe film tells the story of vannihamy , an elderly farmer from one of the sinhala villages in the northern dry zone of sri lanka . in the opening sequences we see a land parched by a long drought , and the villagers , including vannihamy , undergoing great hardship due to the scarcity of water . vannihamy , even though he is blind , is an experienced farmer and predicts that rain can be expected within four days . he enlists the help of his future son - in - law to reinforce his mud hut ' s decayed thatching to withstand the monsoon ' s downpour .\nvannihamy has two daughters and a son . the elder daughter , sumana ( nayana hettiarchchci ) , has married and moved away from home . sunanda ( priyanka samaraweera ) , the younger daughter , lives with the father in expectation of her marriage to a young man in the village . vannihamy ' s only son has joined the army fighting in the north .\nthe film begins with the sound of gathas\u2014buddhist doctrinal verses that are rhythmically chanted . the influence that buddhism wields over people comes in for sharp criticism later in the film . clearly this chanting is intended to give the film viewer an awareness of the great disparity between buddhism ' s manner of comprehending life and the reality of a country ravaged by war . the doctrinal verses chanted here signify that the \u201ctriple - gem\u201d ( buddha , his doctrine and his disciples\u2014the monks ) will bless the believer and protect him from evil . the chanting of the stanzas merely as an accompanying background rhythm at the beginning of the film does not have the potential to convey to the viewer any other meaning than the traditional one . one may even say that the chanting , which is carried by the wind and reverberates in the distant horizons of the village , could have their age - old traditional effect on an unwary viewer\u2014to lull man into unthinking acceptance of any social atrocity perpetrated on him .\nfull moon day\u2014a day of immense religious significance to buddhists\u2014arrives . buddhists consider this a day in which \u201cuniversal ahimsa\u201d ( no harm perpetrated on any living being ) should prevail . it is on this day , when serenity is supposed to reign supreme in the thoughts , deeds and words of mankind , that the coffin said to be carrying vannihamy ' s son arrives in the village .\nthe film deals principally with vannihamy ' s reactions to his son ' s death , especially his refusal to believe\u2014against all evidence to the contrary\u2014that his son has been killed in the war . vannihamy also rejects the money given by the state as compensation to members of a dead soldier ' s family .\nthe idea , which provides the film ' s essential foundation , is that the war raging in the north is not considered by the people to be their war . none of the characters representing ordinary people speak passionately about either taking part in the war or winning it . it is certainly something outside the pale of their deep - felt needs , but which at the same time has insidiously managed to become a \u201cnecessary evil\u201d\u2014a way to earn a living , when conditions of life are extremely difficult and problematic .\nthe only character we see making a pro - war , patriotic speech is the buddhist monk from the village temple who , accompanied by a few villagers , visits the bereaved vannihamy . the monk suggests that the villagers should honor vannihamy ' s son , a soldier who has laid down his life for the motherland , by building a bus shelter in his name . vannihamy off - handedly replies that a bus shelter would be beneficial to people no matter why it was built .\nthe film makes clear that the villagers only consider joining the army when they are in desperate economic straits . vannihamy ' s future son - in - law , for example , says that the way things are he too will have to join the army . vannihamy ' s son had enlisted with the sole aim of providing for his family\u2014building a better home , ensuring a decent marriage for his younger sister . a letter the young man sent from the front , which the family receives after his death , expresses his desire to return home soon so he can set to work on those tasks .\nvannihamy hangs on to this letter because it reinforces the belief that has taken root in him that his son is not dead . the coffin arrives sealed by the authorities , and the fact that no one can see the soldier ' s mortal remains also strengthens the old man ' s conviction . vannihamy ' s refusal to believe in his son ' s death is also bound up with his own attitude to life . he has , to all appearances , triumphed over his terrible physical handicap , blindness . only once do we see him as an enfeebled man\u2014when he falls in the field and is carried home by the villagers . at other times his agility , alertness and confidence are such that the spectator forgets that he is blind . he easily stands out as the strongest character in the film . vannihamy ' s belief in his ability to triumph over difficulties leads him to believe the same about his son . he says that the blood which ran through the veins of his family ' s forefathers runs through his own and his son ' s veins too .\na few days before an alms - giving ceremony is to be held in memory of the dead young man , two soldiers emerge from the darkness at night and approach vannihamy , seated in front of his hut , to tell him that they ' ve brought a donation towards the alms - giving . they explain that members of his son ' s army unit have contributed to the donation . we see the old man struggling to face up to this new and irrefutable proof of his son ' s death . this is the most emotionally powerful moment in the film .\nearly next day , as the eastern sky glints coldly with streaks of morning light , we see vannihamy shouldering his mamoty ( spade ) and apparently heading towards the fields . we wonder whether he has finally brought himself to accept the fact of his son ' s death , but something unexpected takes place . vannihamy makes his way to his son ' s grave and starts digging it up . a young woman who comes to the village tank to fetch water sees vannihamy and informs the villagers . they rush to the scene and take on the job of unearthing the coffin themselves clearly with the intent of laying to rest the doubts assailing vannihamy . they retrieve the coffin , break the seal and open it . vannihamy , who is alert to everything going on , eagerly fingers the contents . all that is in the coffin are some pieces of wood and a large stone\u2014nothing that could prove the death of vannihamy ' s son . as he leaves the graveyard vannihamy is neither a defeated man nor spiritually broken . it is clear that he still believes his son is alive .\nvannihamy ' s stubborn refusal to believe that his son is no longer among the living evokes strong feelings in the spectator . the old man ' s refusal to believe in his son ' s death becomes completely plausible only when it is viewed as the result of an unconscious protective mechanism operating against the unbearable reality of his son ' s death .\nit should be emphasized , however , that vannihamy is not merely a tragic figure . there is a nobility to his character that the other villagers find almost impossible to understand . this quality expresses itself above all in his refusal to accept the money handed out by the state as compensation for his son ' s death . vannihamy ' s deep attachment to his son makes it impossible for him to face up to the latter ' s death . this same love and a keen sense of spiritual dignity stands in the way of vannihamy ' s accepting the money . \u201cwhat if my son comes home after we accept the money ; how can we face him ? \u201d he asks .\nthough vannihamy may even appear to the others as slightly mad , there is a profound humane logic in the stand he takes . the young man had gone to war seeing it as the only means through which his dreams could be realized . it was his son ' s dream of happiness . to accept the money paid as compensation for his death would be a betrayal , not only of the young man , but also of the dreams he cherished .\nonce the coffin has been opened vannihamy is no longer nagged by his relatives or harassed by the village ' s government officer to accept the compensation money . after breaking the official seal on the coffin it is no longer possible to apply for the money .\nin the final sequences of the film we see vannihamy as we saw him at the beginning\u2014a confident man at peace with himself . he comes to the village tank to fetch water , and listens eagerly to a ripple of laughter coming from the children bathing in the river . a scarcely perceptible smile comes to his lips\u2014perhaps he remembers how his son used to play in the river . here the expectant yet deeply melancholic mood , which had till then had gripped vannihamy as well as the spectator , seems to slacken as an unexpected downpour patters on vannihamy ' s shoulders .\nthis deceptively simple film , which has been widely praised at many international film festivals , makes clear that the war has no popular support but has been unexpectedly and forcibly foisted by the sri lankan state onto the people , including the poverty - stricken sinhala farmers living in the north . it should be seen by all those seeking to understand the human consequences of sri lanka ' s civil war .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nthe book also contains reviews , notes on the government\u2019s controversial banning of the film and the supreme court\u2019s subsequent verdict .\nreproduction of articles permitted when used without any alterations to contents and a link to the source page .\n\u00a9 copyright 2010 | wijeya newspapers ltd . colombo . sri lanka . all rights reserved . | site best viewed in ie ver 6 . 0 @ 1024 x 768 resolution\nyour browser not compatible with some features of our website . so we recommand you to update your browser version or switch to another browser .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nafter an explosion kills a man ' s ( joe abeywickrama ) son , the government offers him compensation , but he refuses it .\nthere are currently no user reviews for this film . be the first to rate it below !\ngrieving over the death of his son , a blind and superstitious sri lankan brickmaker causes family conflict when he refuses to accept government compensation for his loss .\nlogline : a young reporter dares to cover press freedom in one of the world\u2019s most dangerous places for journalists \u2013 sri lanka .\nsynopsis : despite the dangers involved in working for the tamil newspaper uthayan in jaffna , young journalists like thadsa still join their ranks . apart from the chief editor , uthayan does not have a single news journalist over the age of 40 . as they grow older , young journalists come under family pressure to find a safer job . thadsa is passionate about reporting and wants to cover a story on a journalist who disappeared in 2007 , and look into the ongoing restrictions to press freedoms in sri lanka today .\nkannan arunasalam , director kannan is an award -

encouragement that awards bring he said\nawards are not to be kept in showcases but they give stability to filmmakers to stand independently and bring out their creative talent .\nwhen went to madawachchiya to find locations for this film i had to mould the script according to what i saw there .\nthe half built houses started by the youths who had joined the army and were killed in battle ; the parents who are waiting for their sons and the gramasevakas who has lists of people who had joined the army are part of the scenario . when i was going there for three years there had been no rain to cultivate in the area and youths had no other job than joining the war .\nof filmmakers who thinks only about its commercial benefits , prasanna withanage said ,\nthe film is not a commodity for

and it ' s certainly an original and ground breaking adaptation in which the recreations of victorian london more than compensate for the film ' s shortcomings .\nin all honesty , this scene just doesn ' t work , and you begin to realise the restrictions of computer generated wizardry . this scene required a pathos that , at present at least , only human actors can portray and the animated characters are more annoying than poignant .\nthe look that scrooge shoots towards the front door says it all . but , it ' s too late , there ' s no escape . he ' s trapped , hemmed in by the stepford cratchits and , as the orchestra strikes up , and tim takes a deep breath , scrooge ' s left hand closes in on the back of the boy ' s neck and you can see the torment etched into his features as he fights the urge to drive tim ' s face hard into the table and end the torment once and for all .\nlasting just over 13 minutes , this adaptation , made in 1910 and directed by j . searle dawley for thomas edison ' s film production company , this version makes a reasonable go at presenting the important aspects of dickens story , and the ghosts themselves are well attempted .\nthere may be no movie that better epitomizes the bond of female friendship than\nsteel magnolias .\nreleased 25 years ago this week , it ' s become a touchstone - - mothers share the film with their daughters , teen girls turn to it as a sleepover staple and men of all ages find themselves taken with the tale of six brassy southern ladies ( sally field , dolly parton , shirley maclaine , daryl hannah , olympia dukakis and julia roberts ) faced with one grave tragedy . initial reviews were mixed , but it became 1989 ' s 14th highest - grossing film nonetheless . today , you can ' t turn on a television set without finding it somewhere . we caught up with robert harling , who adapted the movie from his 1987 play , to learn just how much\nsteel magnolias\nmeans to him .\n\u201crun all night\u201d is also subtly elevated by a top - notch team behind the camera , especially editor craig mckay , a two - time oscar nominee for \u201c reds \u201d and \u201c the silence of the lambs . \u201d for at least an hour , \u201crun all night\u201d hums\u2014to be fair , there\u2019s a bit of a sag in the middle and the entire piece runs too long at nearly two hours . but take note of the way mckay and collet - serra orchestrate a great sequence in a subway station , creating a rhythm between the cops trying to find mike and the bad guys coming after jimmy . or look at the great car chase scene , which is shot in a bit too much close - up ( as are a few of the fights ) , but has a visceral pace to it that makes it impossible to look away . or watch one of the final sequences in a train yard and the way it perfectly fits together to build tension . there\u2019s a tempo to \u201crun all night\u201d that really serves as the entertaining foundation of the whole film , and it\u2019s what so many boring action films lack .\nin april 1963 , the un announced that its new foundation would be producing a series of six movies , each of which would air simultaneously on all three us television networks without , thanks to an investment of $ 4 million from the xerox corporation , the need for commercial breaks .\nscrooge then leaves the counting house , pausing to retrieve his top hat from his long - suffering assistant , and informs cratchit that , in lieu of the fact he ' ll be taking christmas day off , he ' d better be at work all the earlier the next day .\na strong supporting cast backs george c . scott ' s fantastic portrayal of scrooge and , i have to say , i consider this to be one of the all time great versions , and one that certainly has the right mood and feel to both the settings and the performances .\nalthough i ' ve not been able to track down a full online version , there are several clips from the film that can be viewed at the turner classic movies site here . if you would prefer to watch the full uncensored version ( ! ) it is available on amazon .\nour appeal hasn\u2019t always turned up film material , but we have also received a lot of information and related material on several of the titles . alan rothwell , star of linda ( don sharp , 1960 ) , sent us some images scanned from his own collection ;

obomsawin honours that approach , which often makes the film ponderously discursive . so , although the government argued that evidence about the residential schools would be prejudicial to its case , that topic was admitted , and we hear both a scholar ' s lengthy history of the schools and one survivor ' s detailed experience . some editing would have brought the film more dramatically to the point : that foster care is now replicating the residential school trauma .\nwe can ' t make the same mistake twice ,\nsays robert joseph , hereditary chief of b . c .

numbingly bureaucratic approach to a human crisis . if there was any strong argument to be made in the government ' s favour , obomsawin doesn ' t show it : in her film , the lawyers and bureaucrats defending federal policies mainly look sheepish .\nwhen i grow up , i want to be alanis obomsawin . at 84 years old she has the same energy and spirit as person a quarter of her age . during a lecture given at mount royal university on tuesday , she passionately articulated her reasons for making documentary films as vehicle to change the world and provided an example of where this was true in alberta . we watched a film called richard cardinal : cry from a diary of a m\u00e9tis child . this film from the 1980s helped open up a conversation about aboriginal child welfare in alberta and as a result policy changes were made . fast forward 30 years to alanis\u2019s latest film we cannot make the same mistake twice deals with same issues of aboriginal children being removed from their homes due to chronic lack of funding rather than other measures being taken first .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nwe aim to create a safe and valuable space for discussion and debate . that means :\nyou have to be patient and a good listener of someone else\u2019s story . you can\u2019t go in thinking you know the story in advance because it wouldn\u2019t be true . the people themselves know the story and you have to be willing to listen for hours . i never get tired of hearing people\u2019s stories \u2014 how they live and survive .\nwelcome to the globe and mail\u2019s comment community . this is a space where subscribers can engage with each other and globe staff .\nce film est d ' un tr\u00e8s grand int\u00e9r\u00eat public . quand sera -

aboriginal children and aboriginal children off the reserves . furthermore , the federal policies were encouraging child welfare authorities to place first nations children in foster care because they didn ' t have the resources to intervene with the families .\nnever once in the nine years of this trial did they [ the federal government ] ever advance an argument about the best interest of the kids .\ni just think that her ability to tell that story , and for the public to see this story being told , not just through her lens , but to see the government witnesses themselves ,\nexplains blackstock ,\ni ' m hoping it really awakens the canadian consciousness in ways that we ' ve never seen before .\nmuch of this documentary while in the context of the tribunal gave insight into the history of first nations people ; from experiences in residential schools to culturally significant ceremonies regarding children . alanis does a fantastic job of providing archival images and footage to accompany some of the testimony provided by the various witnesses . giving the viewers a chance to read the highlighted sections of the documents in question , keeps them engaged in the proceedings as well as provide tangible proof that the canadian government has in fact known about these issues for decades but hasn\u2019t done anything to solve the problems . i particularly enjoyed the footage towards the end of film when dr . robert joseph , hereditary chief of the gwawaenuk first nation , spoke about the ceremonies regarding a child\u2019s place in his community . alanis followed up his voice with images he described .\nthe federal government fought the case every step of the way , at one point having the complaint dismissed . but that decision was overturned , and the tribunal case dragged on , with a decision coming nine years after the complaint had originally been filed .\nin this documentary , distinguished filmmaker alanis obomsawin focuses her lens on the landmark discrimination case filed by the assembly of first nations and the child and family caring society of canada against indian affairs and northern development canada in 2007 . obomsawin exposes injustices to the community by showing how the child and welfare services provided to them are vastly inferior to the services available to other canadian children , while giving voice to the childcare workers at the heart of the battle .\nthe subject who is truly loyal to the chief magistrate will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary measures .\nthe tribunal issued a further compliance order due to the lack of action on the earlier ruling , and blackstock expects another order to be issued this autumn .\nobviously , many people feel there ' s a repetition of the model of the residential schools in terms of removing the children ,\nsays obomsawin .\nthis is the reason why there is so much sickness of the mind and physical sickness in our indigenous population \u2014 because of the way they are treated .\n\u201cthe distant barking of dogs may very well be one of the most haunting films of the year . it certainly is one of the best films at the # hrwffny . it probably is one of the best films about children and war i ' ve seen . \u201d unseen films reviews the powerful and moving \u201cthe distant barking of dogs\u201d . . \ud83d\udd1b if you are in # nyc , don\u2019t miss it at the # hrwffny today and tomorrow @ filmlinc & @ ifccenter + q & a \ud83c\udf9f urltoken . . # children # childrensrights # ukraine # war # conflict # childhood # humanrights # lincolncenter # ifccenter # thingstodoinnyc # documentaryfilm # newyork # humanrightswatch # nycity # nylife # movies # filmmaking # films # filmmaker # filmmaking # trailer # newyorkcitylife # movielovers # cinemalovers # documentary # playingnow # movienight\nwhy jimmy connors ' run at the 1991 u . s . open is one of the greatest of all time\nblackstock first took her complaint before the canadian human rights tribunal in february 2007 . the case ended nine years later , on january 26 , 2016 , when the tribunal ruled that the federal government does discriminate against first nations children .\nao : the main reason for making the film is to educate . it\u2019s for the public at large to understand what the real story is about : the fact that our children living on reserves do not have equal rights in relation to other canadian children when it comes to education and health services .\nlast night we were honored to host the # nyc premiere of the powerful coming of age drama\nwhat will people say\n\ud83c\udfac director and writer iram haq joined the post -

pinching motivations . the house of commons had voted unanimously to adopt jordan ' s principle , so named for a seriously ill child who spent the entire five years of his life in a winnipeg hospital because no one could agree which level of government was to pay for his care if he was discharged . but the federal bureaucrats applied the new principle so narrowly that an $ 11 -

english - irish derivation who enjoys the full privileges of citizenship and moans about paying taxes . over the course of nearly three hours obomsawin chronicles blackstock ' s tireless mission to advocate for the rights of first nations children , arguing that the lack of funding allocated to these communities essentially functions as a modern reproduction of the historically abusive and shameful residential school system , which ex -

held camera work , moments of apparent off - the - record candor , overlapping sound , chaotic composition and a general sense of episodic unpredictability ( golfman 30 ) . although the chaotic nature relates to postmodernism\u2019s penchant for the unreal , this same element of chaos also makes hard core logo actually seem more realistic . mcdonald once called hard core logo , \u201cspinal tap\u2019s mean little brother\u201d ( anderlini 43 ) . however , hard core logo goes beyond the grass roots of spinal tap . whereas spinal tap gives the viewer a comical look at heavy metal band parody , hard core logo dances between the logic of documentary and narrative . by keeping the movie stars out of the film and using canadian ensemble - style casting , macdonald creates a sense of edgy reality . maclean\u2019s magazine notes that \u201calthough hard core logo is an affectionate parody , this parody is undercut by the raw nerve of realism\u201d ( 89 ) . while bruce mcdonald views hard core logo as a story about growing up and growing apart , hugh dillon , who plays joe dick , sees the film as \u201ca hard core destruction of masculinity\u201d ( anderlini 44 ) . the book by michael turner shows the band\u2019s road trip as a process of a punk band\u2019s demise , as well as a unique reading process for the audience . throughout these processes , one thing is clear . although both forms of storytelling play with many elements of postmodernism , neither can be labelled as precise examples of postmodernism . in fact , both the book and the film are hybrids , a combination of genres , pulled together to create there very own style , unique entities . while turner\u2019s book playfully explores different genres to tell a story , mcdonald\u2019s film uses the parody of the documentary structure to create a conventional realist feel to his film . so , how can one describe the book and film hard core logo ? only four words need come to mind ; it\u2019s an experience , man !\nbruce macdonald follows punk bank hard core logo on a harrowing last -

up feature style and picks up roughly six months later . it was written by canadian playwright daniel macivor .\nhard core logo is a strong cinematic work by mcdonald . it takes place in a world were the 4 band members are interviewed , tell each other stories and lies , make candid confessions on camera , stab each other in the back , and communicate best when performing onstage . it was named best canadian feature of the year by the fledgling toronto film critics association in 1996 , and it won a genie award for best song . mcdonald was also nominated for best director . at the vancouver international film festival , hard core logo was named best canadian feature and best canadian screenplay .\nthis film just goes to show what the much - ignored canadian film industry is capable of . a small - budget but still very impressive film like hard core logo makes one wonder what could be coming out of canada if canadians would actually support their own film industry , instead of running out to spend their hard - earned cash on mass - market pulp like\narmageddon .\nappropriately , the members of spinal tap are depicted as bombastic and buffoonish , deluded about their place in the world , but also charming , and a little sad , in their dysfunction . where spinal tap are , ultimately , harmless despite cultivating an image as hard rock bad boys , the members of hard core logo are , largely , marginal misfits , edgy to the point of violence .\ndirector bruce mcdonald , a frequent mckellar collaborator , chimes in at # 4 with hard core logo and with highway 61 . while mcdonald has tried for years to mount a film version of chester brown\u2019s underground comic book yummy fur , he has found it easier to raise funds for the kind of road movie which established him . but the elements all gelled in hard core logo , a mock - rockumentary about a punk band\u2019s last gasp reunion tour through western canada . while neither it nor highway 61 set the box office ablaze , their strong showings in the poll speak to mcdonald\u2019s cult popularity .\nmcdonald , or\nbruce the filmmaker\nas he is credited in the present work , is one of two returning characters , the other being music producer and joe dick mentor / rival , bucky haight ( julian richings ) . however , filmmaker bruce has a new band to focus on , die mannequin , but while hard core logo 2 teases with the idea that die mannequin is the new hard core logo and frontwoman care failure , credited as herself , is the new joe dick , this time , the filmmaker , and not his subjects , is placed at the center of the story .\nhard core logo can be summed up in three words , metafiction goes punk . it ' s the prose medium at its most hybrid . to take it out of shorthand and give it an elaborated review , however , you can read hard core logo a few different ways : firstly , as its metaphor , secondly , as metafiction and finally , as mockumentary posing as prose . let ' s look at how the book is formed first . it ' s a mix of john ' s ( bassist ) near - scrutinising journal entries , our protagonists side of phone calls in transcribed form , r\nbruce macdonald follows punk bank hard core logo on a harrowing last - gasp reunion tour throughout western canada . as magnetic lead -

fated reunion tour in 1996 . despite the dire ending of the original film , the possibilities for sequels are endless , mcdonald insists .\nmcdonald says the real - life billy talent were hard core fans of the film , and sent him backstage passes to an arena show last year as thanks for inspiring the group ' s name .\nas a director , mcdonald gained fame for a trio of road movies ( preceding hard core logo were roadkill and highway 61 ) , in which the forward momentum was built into the plot . that kind of push is simply not available in a drama based around the repetitious business of making a record .\nthe new blu - ray\nall access edition\nof hard core logo includes the sequel and two sets of extra features . related to the original film are : a commentary track with mcdonald , hugh dillon , and writer , noel baker , a video for hard core logo ' s biggest\nhit\n,\nwho the hell do you think you are ?\n, the original trailer , and an excerpt from paul mcewan ' s book - length critical treatment of the film published by university of toronto press ( 2011 ; the disc also includes a discount code for purchase of the book ) .\nearlier this month at a revue theatre , fans held a hard core logo tribute night featuring a screening , a q & a with mcdonald and others involved in the film , and a live cover band . fans were invited to sing along to the soundtrack and mcdonald says he was astounded by how many actually knew the words to songs like son of a bitch to the core and edmonton block heater .\nwhile postmodernism is reflected in turner\u2019s book , hard core logo , what makes this story postmodern is ironically also what makes this story not postmodern . the idea of making the book like a collage , or fragments of a story , is postmodern , yet this approach also challenges postmodern ideology . turner\u2019s story is about memories . these memories reflect the history of the band and the different perspectives of all involved , much like a diary or an interview would . memories are fragmented , non - linear versions of reality . this makes turner\u2019s book more realistic then one may think . yet , one aspect of postmodernism is to deconstruct reality . turner takes fragmented genres , and turns them into memories , a collaboration of thoughts and ideas that a creative collective genius has gathered . hard core logo becomes a road story scrapbook of pictures and writings by the band . the compilation of entries in this book make the story of the band , hard core logo , seem less fictional and more realistic . postmodernism strives on breaking down realism , becoming fictional , almost dreamlike , unreal and deliberately hazy . hard core logo lacks the linear structure a traditional novel is based on . this non - linear aspect is found in life as well . the style in which hard core logo is written creates a realistic snapshot of daily life by taking journal entries and other writings and turning them into a story that has anything but a narrative structure . lyrics , invoices , and photos make the book non - fictional , which in fact , challenges the postmodern penchant for non - reality .\nin fact , according to charlie shrem\u2019s tweet above , the hope of segwit2x is that the hard fork changes would simply be accepted into bitcoin core . of course , some signers of the new york agreement have explicitly stated they don\u2019t want core to control the reference client , so this is an open question .\nhard core logo is one of the better canadian independent films made . i liked hard core logo and i do not like indie style films which says a lot . another fake documentary which gets across as so real ! hugh dillon , who is the lead singer of the headstones , added many real life experiences in the movie . one experiences what a van ride / tour for five days would be like ! the winnipeg meltdown , and the stage performance memorable . when hard core logo plays , there is an real life performance . ( authentic ) the movie ' s foreground is about a friendship between john dic and billy talent . john is a real friend and is a in your face does not care guy . john hates phonies , and is self - destructive . billy is angry at john for wrecking his career , and wants to grow as a musician . one experiences a real friendship in the movie between the two protagonists , but as the movie progresses the past strains the relationship . hard core logo show everyone uses everyone , and getting back stabbed . john the guy who does not actually care , does care and the unbreakable breaks . john gets broken and one experiences real pain / tears and a horrible ending . seven out of ten stars .\nhard core logo : live is entertaining ( if occasionally silly ; the acid - trip scene was pure spoof ) , and scene - stealer jennifer walls is fun in a variety of the roles she plays . ultimately , however , beyond its rugged charm , the production is under - nourishing and puzzlingly lacking in intensity .\nthis movie totally rocks . i was in vancouver in the early 80s at the time that hard core logo would have been breaking out it they had been a real band - - spent lots of time at the smilin ' buddha watching pointed sticks and doa and whoever - the - hell was on stage . re this movie , watch it and enjoy it , but do not miss the book\nhard core logo\nif you can help it . it is a sort of\nmnaking of\nbook by screenwriter noel baker , whom i knew both as a child when we were at school when we were , oh twelve or so , and then met briefly in vancouver during the punk heyday . the book is his narration of being on set as the movie filmed and is hilarious , insightful , and very well written . even if hard core logo had never existed , or if you have not seen it ,\nhard core roadshow\nwould be worth reading . the book is hard to find now , but * damn * it is worth it . it lives up to the spirit of the movie and the 80s vancouver punk scene , but it is also touching and very funny . bravo noel if you ' re out there dude . i wish you all the best .\ncarlson , tim . \u201c rebel to the hard core : novelist , poet , and songwriter michael turner has little time for anything conventional . \u201d vancouver sun 13 nov . 1996 , final ed . : c5 .\ndespite the conventional -

ray is a new transfer , supervised by mcdonald , and the side - by - side comparison of the two films on the disc allows for an appreciation of the different media used for each , analog in the case of the original , and ( mostly ) digital in the case of the sequel .\nwhere the original hard core logo looked outwards , to the bygone landscape of canadian punk rock , ii turns in , bringing mcdonald ( in his fictional and real incarnations , though the film is keen to blur the distinction ) to the centre . hard core logo ii is a punk rock barney\u2019s version , an unflinching analysis of its maker\u2019s move from sneering rock \u2018n\u2019 roll filmmaker to chubby old dude in a trademark straw cowboy hat . it\u2019s this introspection that impresses , proving that mcdonald has not only aged , but matured , while also channeling the flair and polish of his earlier features . and more than all this , it\u2019s genuinely , strangely affecting : something a bruce mcdonald film hasn\u2019t been since , well , ever .\nsegwit2x branched off the bitcoin core 0 . 14 release and has a diff of less than 500 lines as of this writing from bitcoin core 0 . 14 . about half are related to bip91 ( orphan blocks that don\u2019t signal segwit ) and the rest is split between testnet5 ( new testnet ) , change of name ( bitcoin core = > segwit2x ) and bip102 ( 2mb blocks ) . it\u2019s within the realm of possibility that this code can get merged into core , for example .\nhard core logo is frequently compared to this is spinal tap ( 1984 ) , and , as a matter of form , the comparison is apt . both films are faux documentaries about fictional rock bands , each of which lend their names to their film ' s title . neither group is shown at the height of their reputed powers . not surprisingly , given the nature of the mockumentary , both films work as absurdist comedies . both rely on the tour as a narrative device . the two also share the conceit of having the director of the actual movie also play the role of the director of the film within the film ( rob reiner as marti dibergi in spinal tap and bruce mcdonald as\ndocumentary filmmaker\nin hard core logo ) .\nboth satire and bittersweet life quest , his new hard core logo ii \u2014 opening this weekend at tiff bell lightbox \u2014 picks up from the radical flameout of hugh dillon\u2019s rock lifer joe dick at the end of the first film . it then heads into something resembling a rock \u2019n\u2019 roll ghost story , starring mcdonald and care failure , the singer for punk band die mannequin .\nmost people are going to buy this cd just for the hard core logo tracks , but there is some excellent additional music after that . swamp baby without hugh dillon provide a cover of \u201chawaii\u201d by the young canadians . short n\u2019 sweet , and then on to some actual punk classics : teenage head ( \u201cbonerack\u201d ) , the ramones ( \u201ctouring\u201d ) , and chris spedding ( \u201cwild wild women\u201d ) . i can always go for some teenage head , and you can hear a lot of teenage head in hard core logo\u2019s tunes . as for the ramones , joey had a brief cameo in the film , lending it some extra authenticity sauce . although i find many ramones tunes to have a sound - alike quality , \u201ctouring\u201d just makes me smile .\noften characterized as a more elegiac and dark version of this is spinal tap , the film was a cult hit both in canada and the united states , where it was released under the auspices of quentin tarantino . hard core logo ended with dillon ' s character , joe dick , committing suicide on camera by shooting himself in the head , which made an orthodox sequel impossible .\nbip102 is a flag -

making is uncommon , but well chosen to represent turner\u2019s uncommon book . mcdonald layers the film hard core logo with postmodernist elements . the idea of filming a mockumentary is postmodern in itself . the style in which mcdonald films this movie , much like the way turner wrote the story , interrogates truth claims . by making this movie a fake documentary , mcdonald takes the truest form of truthful filmmaking , the documentary , hence interrogating the truth origins and history of the film . the mockumentary , much like punk music , is a revolt on the genre from which it originated . this genre uses the power of capturing reality , and deconstructs it by using fiction as the basis of the film .\nnovember 18 \u2014 this is around when we can expect block 494784 , which is when segwit2x should hard fork to 2mb blocks .\nlet ' s get it over with right from the beginning : the only thing that\nthis is spinal tap !\nand\nhard core logo\nhave in common is the documentary set up . while spinal tap was a comedy that - as the name of the genre\nmockumentary\nsuggests - mocked the heavy metal scene ,\nhard core logo\nis a character study that takes an honest look at a band and life on the road . actually , the whole framework is rather unnecessary in this movie as it serves no real purpose and characters didn ' t act like they were in front of a camera ( unlike say\nthe office\n, where people behaved as if they were aware of being filmed ) . besides , the pictures are shot too beautifully anyway for this to feel like a real documentary . that ' s not to say\nhard core logo\nisn ' t realistic , though . the movie gives us a quite real impression of being in a punk band , caught between different agendas , personalities , power struggles and the sheer need to survive . this is why , apart from a few moments that will make you chuckle ,\nhard core logo\nisn ' t really trying to be funny , either . just like real life the tragic moments outweigh the comedic ones by far . the acting is great and the soundtrack is accurate , two very important things to make a movie about punk rock work . apart from maybe the drummer the band members aren ' t over - subscribed and you can really see guys like joe dick or billy talent playing in actual bands ( guess what , hugh dillon actually was the singer of his own band , the headstones ) .\nhard core logo\nworks on every level and is very entertaining to watch , too . there are quite a few details in the story hinted at rather subtly , which you ' re probably not going to get the first time around , so a second or third viewing is recommended .\nthe book\u2019s growing audience set it on a course that mirrored a typical band\u2019s career . the original release , a glorious , rough debut , was followed by a more mainstream version , in this case bruce mcdonald\u2019s 1996 faux - documentary , which was successful even as it conceded some of what made the original book great to the realities of filmmaking . both were followed in 1997 by the graphic novel hard core logo : portrait of a thousand punks , a sort of return to what made the book good , like a band trying to shake off the compromises of mainstream success without alienating their new , wider audience . hard core logo spinoffs have continued since , with a play , an opera and a second film moving us firmly into the \u201coh , they\u2019re still putting out albums ? \u201d phase of the franchise .\nhard core logo helped to establish director bruce mcdonald as one of the leading filmmakers in canada , and he has continued to have a close relationship with the canadian music scene in the years since . he\u2019s been behind several recent films about canadian music , including the broken social scene concert film this movie is broken and a series about toronto\u2019s 1960s rock and soul scene titled yonge street : toronto rock & roll stories .\nleggere solo questo libro non basta . dentro ci sono tanti spunti , tante atmosfere , ma non \u00e8 sufficiente . dopo aver letto il libro \u00e8 essenziale guardare anche il film , il mocumentary hard core logo del 1996 ( diretto da bruce mcdonald , con callum keith rennie e hugh dillon ) , per capire personaggi e situazioni , per\nrespirare\ngli anni ' 90 e la musica del tempo . comunque ottima idea ."]}

standing and treacherous enemy .\nin pictures - the story of love and romance : from adam and eve to tinder and chemsex . compiled by martin chilton\nblucher arrives with gustav to aid justin and defeat heraclio . gustav scares the army away , while heraclio and blucher engage in a duel . heraclio takes the underarm and stabs blucher . justin then duels with heraclio . the two then get stuck on a water mill above a waterfall where they fight over sir roland ' s sword . heraclio slips and falls to his death in the water and justin retrieves the sword . blucher is on the brink of death due to the wound and justin , talia and lara attempt to save him . justin then uses some cool leaves to sooth the wound . just as it seems as though it was too late to save blucher , it turns out that the leaves worked on him and he recovers .\nwith the color grading phase of the project , kandor graphics used mistika to carry out color , brightness and contrast corrections of the shots so that the appearance of each sequence corresponded to its dramatic intention .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nshot on location over the course of three years , the movie follows the lives of four individuals whom are caught in the web created by the avoiding eye of government and the collapse of villages into treacherous slums . vandenberg and beck introduce the role of village unity early on with the first spoken words of \u201ci massage you to give you strength . \u201d a woman is looked after by the village elders during childbirth and a new child of kenya appears in a deceptive but tasteful scene . the intimacy of the opening is only a prelude to the social disconnect that is to follow .\njustin lives in the kingdom of gabylonia , where bureaucrats rule and knights have been ousted . his dream is to become one of the knights of valour , like his grandfather , sir roland . but his father reginald , a widower and the chief counsel to the queen , wants his son to follow in his footsteps and become a lawyer . after an argument with his father , justin seeks comfort from his grandmother who encourages him to follow his dreams . justin notices that his grandfather ' s sword is missing , so he decides to go and find his grandfather ' s sword as his quest . his grandmother gives him a key which originally belonged to his grandfather and tells him to go to an abbey where three wise monks would train him . before justin leaves on his quest , he visits his crush , lara , who is a spoiled brat . he went to say farewell to her , though she wasn ' t really listening . justin then slips out of home and embarks on a quest to become a knight .\nthe three abbey monks are all rather reasonable , all things considered , but it ' s made clear that sir blucher is the most hopeful and receptive of justin from the get - go .\n, until he notices justin ' s unconscious , breathless form moments later . he ' s very quick to hug justin once he comes to .\nsweet - natured justin dreams of becoming a knight just like his legendary grandfather , sir roland . however knights have been banished from the kingdom by the queen and replaced by lawyers and their strict rules . but after an inspiring visit to his beloved gran , justin ' s mission becomes clear . he bids farewell to his sweetheart lara and embarks on the ultimate quest : to train to become a knight . along the way he meets the beautiful , but feisty , talia a quirky wizard called melquiades ; the handsome , but misguided , sir clorex and upon reaching the tower of wisdom is mentored by the three wise monks ; blucher , legantir and braulio . however justin soon learns that banished knight sir heraclio is putting together an army , with his faithful sidekick sota , to overthrow the queen and take the kingdom . justin must quickly rise to the challenge and find the courage to become the knight he truly wishes to be . join the unlikeliest of heroes and his friends on the journey of a lifetime that promises nail biting adventure , oodles of magic , heaps of fun , oh and a flame throwing toothless crocodile . . .\n: justin doesn ' t have this problem , but braulio is quick to point this out upon first meeting justin , and even checks his biceps while shaking his hand .\n: one of the primary reasons justin undergoes his knight ' s training . needless to say , it works like a charm .\nsir roland was the noblest knight in the kingdom and protector of the king until they were both betrayed and killed by the evil sir heraclio ( mark strong ) . against his father\u2019s wishes , justin runs away in search of his dream and begins his quest to become a knight . at the broken eagle inn he meets talia ( saoirse ronan ) , a beautiful , feisty and independently - minded girl , who shares his aspirations and whom he eventually falls for . he also meets a quirky wizard called melquiades ( david walliams ) who tells him where he can find the magical abbey where the knights of valour once trained . at the abbey , he is mentored by three ancient monks .\nkandor graphics was founded in 1992 by a group of talented young engineers and innovative technical experts with the vision of bringing that magic into the animation world . the uniqueness of this company and the team can be felt in their films . kandor graphics\u2019 work environment is a perfect combination of incredible creative and aesthetic animation talent who utilise state of the art technology and software developed in house .\njustin , an ordinary young man , learns that he is capable of greatness . his good intentions and ultimate belief in himself enable him to be brave and resourceful . lawyers and\nthe law\nare particularly targeted in this movie , blamed for ruining the preferred\nold\nway of life - - of knights and valor and chivalry and beauty - - because they instituted rules and laws . of course , the key lawyer who initiated the changes finally learns the error of his ways . lots of stereotypes are included : a very effeminate ( but still lethal ) accomplice of the primary villain prances around eyeing\ncolor\nand\ndesign ;\na vain , self - absorbed rich girl dismisses a worthy suitor ; and a preening knight believes he is a supreme gift to humankind .\njustin , though an unlikely candidate for knighthood , is determined to pursue his ideals . called upon to prove himself when heraclio and his minions , lead by sota ( rupert everett ) , return and threaten the kingdom , justin saves the day .\ntsundere : talia . justin ' s strict code of chivalry doesn ' t help him any better , either .\nis expected to be completed by the end of the year and will be released in theaters in 2013 .\ndon ' t kill the army of ants and wasps invading your home . . .\na boy\u2019s dream is important even if it is not what his father wants . justin\u2019s father wants him to be a lawyer like himself but only justin\u2019s grandmother knows the real truth and what needs to be done . so an adventure begins as the young boy leaves on a quest to return the knights to the kingdom . the first thing he must do is learn to be a knight and the second is to find his grandfather\u2019s sword .\npress j to jump to the feed . press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts\n15 years on . . . pirates of the caribbean : the . . .\njustin ( freddie highmore ) lives in a kingdom where bureaucrats rule and knights have been ousted . he wants to be a knight but his father , reginald ( alfred molina ) , the chief counsel to the queen ( olivia williams ) , wants his son to follow in his footsteps and become a lawyer . in need of guidance , justin visits his grandmother ( julie walters ) , who tells him the story of his grandfather , sir roland .\n. he ' s fine with lying and bumbling his way to fame with schemes , as opposed to honesty and hardwork like justin .\njustin is a wonderful young boy and remembers all the stories that his grandfather told about being a knight for the royal kingdom . it also is his wish to become a knight but there is one thing keeping him from it , the law that the queen and his father signed . knights are outlawed and that is just not right because who will keep the kingdom safe ?\njustin bieber is the perfect gentleman as he handles the bags . . . while crop top -

tied and submerged in a creek . the shocked community quickly pointed their fingers at three teenagers whom appeared to be the perfect suspects . suspicions of satanism captured the interest of the police force and the trio of damien echols , jessie misskelley , jr . and jason baldwin were taken into custody .\nbanderas helped produce this dreary animated feature and voices conceited lounge - lizard sir clorex . plucky justin ( freddie highmore ) would rather revive his kingdom\u2019s tradition of noble knights than follow in dad\u2019s footsteps as a stuffy lawyer . his quest needs dedicated training at the hands of three monks and the courage to cross swords with exiled knight sir heraclio ( mark strong ) .\n: braulio suffers from nervous twitchie fits ever sense an experiment of his failed in the past . though he sweared a vow of patience , he constantly comes close to losing it throughout justin ' s training , until justin ' s\ndragon test\ninadvertently causes the destruction of the live display of the generations long wargame that theirs and a far - east order have been playing for over 450 years . when this happens , he\nsaoirse ronan as talia , the film ' s heroine and a feisty woman who works at the broken eagle inn . justin eventually falls in love with her in the end .\nthe woman wearing the queenly mask : an interesting and subdued deconstruction . after losing her husband , the queen of gabylonia fell into a state of depression . she relied heavily on reginald to handle the day - to - day affairs of the kingdom . not long after this , and likely around the same time as losing justin ' s mother , reginald proposes the abolishment of knighthood in the kingdom . the queen signs this proposition into law in the hopes that no other may suffer the same fate as her king did ( who fell in battle ) . the events of the present day show that she has deep and serious regrets on doing this .\nthe queen then gives justin the title of sir justin and praises him for his bravery . she decides to abolish the outlawed knights by signing a contract . reginald is hesitant at first , as he fears that his son would follow the same fate as what had happened to his father . seeing this , justin attempts to not make change to appease his father , but reginald signs the contract . when it seemed as though justin still has feelings for lara , he turns her down much to her disappointment and surprise , as she was starting to like him . he then turns to talia and tells her that he wants her to continue accompanying him on quests , as he has realized that she is the girl whom he truly loves . talia happily accepts and shares a romantic kiss with justin .\nthe script gets off to a poor start by positing a medieval kingdom where knights have been banished in favour of the rule of law , which the film says is a bad thing \u2014 a view parents may consider strange to be teaching young children .\ntough bond is essential viewing , but not so the viewer can be temporarily moved . one should not be distressed by the content matter , but rather attempt to understand the psychology of the kenyan youth . the absence of a community bond and stress of street life is the complex of the \u201csurvivors . \u201d intimacy is only a fairy tale .\njustin ( freddie highmore ) lives in a kingdom where bureaucrats rule and knights have been ousted . his dream is to become one of the knights of valour , like his grandfather , sir roland . but his father reginald ( alfred molina ) , the chief counsel to the queen ( olivia williams ) , wants his son to follow in his footsteps and become a lawyer . after an argument with his father , justin seeks comfort from his grandmother ( julie walters ) who encourages him to follow his dreams . justin notices that his grandfather ' s sword is missing . he decides to go and find his grandfather ' s sword as his quest . his grandmother gives him a key which originally belonged to his grandfather and tells him to go to an abbey where three wise monks would train him . before justin leaves on his quest , he visits his crush , lara ( tamsin egerton ) , who is a spoilt brat to say farewell to her , though she wasn ' t really listening . justin then slips out of home and embarks on a quest to become a knight .\nit doesn ' t look bad , but the spark of originality and interest is lacking .\njavier expands further\nalso , i felt so fortunate to have mistika for justin and the knights of valour . with dual - roles as dop and colorist , i had complete control of the process , which made my job so much easier . the \u201call in one system\u201d philosophy of mistika resulted in us using its unrivalled toolsets and capabilities for many more tasks than we initially intended to from the start . we also utilized mistika as a display tool as well as for \u201cchecks , \u201d including dcp outputs as well as a compositing tool . the learning curve has been so fast that i was able to proceed from the first week of production . furthermore , it\u2019s been a pleasure to work with the sgo team throughout the production and post production phases and they were always available to meet our needs .\nthere appears to be four distinct types of animation movies being made en masse at the moment . first , there are the visually dazzling but essentially hollow animated movies that hope to coast by on the star power involved , see : shark ' s tale , madagascar , megamind . secondly , there are the visually dazzling but hugely funny and / or smart and / or involving animated movies that are instant classics of the genre , see : 90 % of pixar ' s output , how to train your dragon . thirdly , there are the movies that manage to mix the star power of the first and the entertaining nature of the second , see : despicable me 2 , kung fu panda 2 . and finally , there ' s the kind of animated movie that fails in almost every department , no real mega - star names attached , no real visual inventiveness , no real humour or intelligence or heart . unfortunately , justin & the knights of valour falls ass - first into this category .\nthe spanish animators are uninspired and haven\u2019t a clue how to make the most of 3d . it is easily the year\u2019s dreariest animated film .\nimportant haircut : an inversion . as a subtle showcasing of his development , justin leaves the abbey with the sides and back of his humble , page -

over stars , i was hoping this would be good family entertainment .\nfor a darker spin , it is both shown and implied that hiraclio ' s bitterness and resentment about knighthood being outlawed in gabylonia stems from this trope . with all of his self - worth tied up into the glory of being a knight , knights being outlawed came as a rude new status quo for him , causing him to lash out ( which ironically further justified the act of outlawing knights ) . in addition to revenge , hiraclio ' s goal of becoming king is primarily a bid to satisfy his ego and sense of self - worth that he felt he ' d lost .\nsplit personality merge : the two decide to work together to call for help for justin and talia . the viewer is left to decide on whether blucher and gustav showing up was a coincidence or not .\nwith the design of backgrounds and characters kandor graphics started the library work , carrying out color studies and obtaining basic volumes or proxy\u2019s for the animatics , when the film was viewed for the first time in stereo 3d using mistika . the perception of space at this stage allowed the team to define timings , framing and camera movements . \u201cgiven the story\u2019s complexity , number of characters and the different locations where it occurs , previsualisation became a key process in defining the film - making . \u201d confirms joaqu\u00edn catala . a revision of the right and left cameras also took place for the first time in order to check the stereoscopic 3d . the animatics were then approved by the director following a review with everyone involved , which the team calls \u201cthe point of no return , \u201d then the production department registered the 43 final breakdown of sequences , shots and assets . with the final scenes , props , characters and cameras the layout process commenced . the scenes were optimized to speed -

camera police officers , and\nflashbacks\nthat are 90 % derived from lommel ' s 1980 film the boogeyman , which the boogeyman 2 was a sequel to . the original version of the boogeyman 2 did consist of a lot of flashback footage from the first film , but it did have some new content , whereas the 2003 version of the boogeyman 2 is 90 % footage from the boogeyman , 10 % newly filmed content .\nyeah i think it is but avoid the sequel boogeyman 2 as it is atrocious , it reuses basically all the scenes in the first film wrapped around a very thin plot involving a film crew .\nunless you want to watch the boogeyman three times in a row . to each his own .\nthe boogey man \u2013 or the boogeyman on promotional material \u2013 and the bogey man in the uk \u2013 is a 1980 american supernatural slasher film written , produced and directed by ulli lommel . it stars his wife suzanna love , nicholas love , ron james and horror veteran john carradine .\nlommel can probably be credited with first bringing the legend to the sliver screen with his 1980 film , the boogeyman . although it was panned by critics during its limited theatrical run , the vhs mainstay spawned two sequels in 1983 and 1984 that were padded with flashbacks to the original film . this new outing seeks to reboot the boogeyman franchise , following the same concept of a mirror possessed by a murderous being that quite possibly has a nylon fetish :\nin 1980 lommel moved to los angeles , where he started his hollywood career with the no . 1 box office hit \u201cthe boogeyman\u201d , followed by 51 successful filmproductions , including twenty motion pictures made for lionsgate , currently the leading studio in hollywood . in 2004 sony produced a remake of \u201cboogeyman\u201c , which again became no . 1 in the usa .\nthe boogeyman superstition has made its way on screen numerous times : the clown -

budget serial killer movies and straight - to - netflix zombie films in the last fifteen years . he is also famously responsible for putting out daniel der zauberer , a 2 . 0 rated film on imdb\u2019s list of the top twenty worst films . like uwe boll , also german , this guy deals with constant critical hatred . i am here to review what is , in my eyes , his best film . however , after looking at his catalog of films , one would realize that this is not a difficult task to accomplish .\ni found this dvd at a pawn shop for one dollar . it has the boogeyman and return of boogeyman , so i can definitely say i got my money\u2019s worth . i felt like this was a decent little ghost / slasher film . it is fairly bland though . the kills are nothing special and there aren\u2019t really any clever scares . there is one memorable kill where the guy takes a knife through the back out his neck . it comes out of his mouth and his girlfriend\u2019s face gets pushed into it by an unknown force . this was a pretty sweet death , but the originality of this film really ends there .\n4 . despite grossing more than $ 600 million worldwide , the film failed to turn a profit by the end of 1994 .\ntogether with frank dragun ( producer ) and colin j . mccracken ( writer ) , lommel is currently in production for an eight 1 -

issued in various formats ( vhs , dvd ) . due to the film ' s graphic nature , it has been banned from several countries and remains banned in some countries to this day . in 1992 , the australian classification board banned the film for\nexcessive sexual violence\nand the film remains banned in australia to this day . the film is banned elsewhere too , such as the united kingdom where it was originally prosecuted as a video nasty .\nthe boogeyman , while occasionally faulty , is based on a premise that sets it apart in the slasher subgenre . disjointed editing makes for clumsy cadence at times , but the compelling story and fever - dream - like atmosphere make up for the odd pacing . its hazy , spectral quality unifies the film along with a cohesive plot that doesn\u2019t rely on those components borrowed from horror hits of the past so much as it utilizes them right where they respectively fit . as a supernaturally - charged story about a household objecct , the boogeyman would make a solid double feature pairing with the more recent haunted mirror tale , oculus ( 2014 ) .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\ntoxic zombies -

close - and - personal shots of penetration during the death scenes , particularly in a bathroom suicide ( \u201dsuicide\u201d being used loosely here ) . tricks of the editing trade allow for the audience to see the actor\u2019s face before , during , and after the moment of penetration , with buckets of blood for maximum viewer satisfaction . craig harris ( toxic zombies , 1980 ) gets credit for the hokey but entertaining kissing couple shish - kabob scene , which lommel enjoyed so much that he brought the special effects artist back for revenge of the boogeyman 3 years later . the movie\u2019s climax offers a bombastic confrontation between good and evil that culminates in a glistening , bloody orgy of sharp phallic implements and unholy possession , all the things that would make your average one million moms zealot quake with fury , even today .\ncinematographer n\u00e9stor almendros was nominated for his work on the film , and while he eventually lost out to geoffrey unsworth and ghislain cloquet for tess , he already had one oscar at home for his contributions to terrence malick ' s days of heaven ( 1978 ) . the skilled dp was also nominated in 1980 ( for kramer vs . kramer ) and in 1983 ( for sophie\u2019s choice ) .\nthe beyond -

edited version was quickly released on video by thriller video .\nbetween 1971 and 1977 ulli lommel directed and starred in 22 films in europe , two of which are represented by the fassbinder foundation . in 1973 lommel had two films in the top 10 box office charts in germany , \u201charlis\u201d ( which he starred in ) and \u201ctenderness of the wolves\u201d ( directed by lommel , the film also opened the berlin film festival ) . in total his films garnered eleven of the prime german film prizes .\nand some footage of lacey being tied up and threatened with a knife . the film was later passed fully uncut in the uk in 2000 .\nthe bogeyman was first released in uk cinemas uncut in 1980 , and then vipco released it on vhs in november 1981 . in october 1983 the film was listed as a video nasty and removed from shelves . the bogeyman never had the chance to build the reputation the true notorious video nasty\u2019s gained due to it being dropped from the list in july 1985 . vipco then re - released it in 1992 with 44 seconds of cuts , however the film was later released uncut in 2000 certified 18 . better still , an extended cut was released in 2004 by hollywood r2 dvd and this too was uncut and passed as 18 .\nstill , the boogeyman is high art compared to its second sequel ( packaged , inexplicably , with the first film on opposite sides of a flipper ) , the excrescent the return of the boogeyman . it ' s hard to even call it a film , as it consists mainly ( 90 % ) of scenes lifted from the first two boogeyman pictures , strung together as the psychic experiences of narrator annie ( kelly galindo ) in sessions overseen by shrink dr . love ( omar kaczmarczyk ) . it ' s like an anniversary clips show for a long - in - the - tooth sitcom , filmed with the same sort of production values as a backyard porno and scripted ( by an uncredited writer ) with almost exactly the same kind of ear . you might be curious that it offers a few gratuitous , gauzy tit shots , which were conspicuously lacking in the original , but really , it ' s the kind of crap any chimp could put together on imovie given a little time and a handful of peanuts . i wouldn ' t trust my drink on it if it were a coaster .\nbrooke shields was just 14 years old when she filmed the blue lagoon , the infamously sexy and slightly salacious island - set romance that capitalized on burgeoning hormones in a big way . the film was shocking when it debuted in the summer of 1980\u2014but even more than three decades later , it can still make jaws drop . here\u2019s a look at some of its more compelling tidbits , complete with undiscovered iguanas and a nifty trick to cover up nudity .\nhowever , this film currently holds a 59 %\nfresh\nbased off 49 reviews at the movie review website rotten tomatoes .\nfor my phd , karel generously let me read for a full year , so that i could appropriate all the film - historical and theoretical literature . not until my second year , i left for the archives and started writing chapters . in addition , karel coached me in teaching the so - called a - workgroup , a second - year course where students in addition to literature studies ( film history : theory and practice by allen & gomery was regular fare ) also learned to conduct archival research in the collected cinema reviews in the press archive from the amsterdam city archive . until the release of the dutch online newspaper database delpher , this was a gold mine . of course , after five years ( 1989 - 1994 ) of film archiving and film identification at the film museum , and first articles about silent italian and dutch film , i had already gotten familiar with the archive world , but the fascination for research into film exhibition and reception came to a good start at the above course .\nwith over 32 songs on the official soundtrack and more used in the movie\u2014including one song from the doors on the soundtrack and four others in the film\u2014all of the bands featured in the film were american , and that was not a coincidence . \u201call the material in there is american , \u201d joel sill , the film\u2019s executive music producer , told the los angeles daily news . \u201cbob [ zemeckis ] felt strongly about it . he felt forrest wouldn\u2019t buy anything but american . \u201d though formed in england and not in the u . s . , fleetwood mac contributed a song to the film and the 2001\u2019s special collector\u2019s edition soundtrack . fans liked the soundtrack so much it went on to sell 12 million copies worldwide .\nwhenever the action moves outdoors - to the beach , or to a different house , for example - it improves immensely . the boogeyman is a definite horror classic , but it struggles to escape from its stifling setting . nonetheless , i enjoy it more each time i watch it .\nreleased with 1 minute 41 seconds cut in 1994 . this movie was prosecuted . though hardly convincing , the violence is extremely graphic and helped to propel the film ( released on video in the uk by iver film services ) onto the video nasties list . the film remained banned until 1993 , when vipco resubmitted it to the british board of film classification , who agreed to pass it with an 18 certificate as long as one minute and forty - one seconds ' worth of gory mayhem was deleted . almost all of the violent scenes were trimmed , but the castration of the biker and the removal of a student ' s intestines ( for use as a flail ) were removed completely . if the film were submitted to the bbfc now , however , it would most likely be passed uncut .\nmr . zeman and ms . brancaccio , a deputy commissioner of the new york city human resources administration , have found supporters of their film . \u201ci think it\u2019s done very well , and i think it tells the truth , \u201d said donna cutugno , a staten islander who founded the volunteer search group friends of jennifer for missing children during the schweiger case . \u201cwe still have those other missing children . the boogeyman wasn\u2019t a myth . \u201d\nnot that what i\u2019m about to tell you is going to make you drop your monocle into your champagne or anything , but the boogeyman lacks any sort of story consistency . it\u2019s almost as if it was two scripts that got bisected and then fused down the middle .\nfor all its shoddiness , the film manages , just barely , to achieve its ignoble goals - - it delivers what it promises .\nthe boogeyman opens on a truly disturbing and sleazy note , with a reminiscence of carpenter ' s halloween if it was more focused on a norman bates character played by a young ( and blonde ) joe spinell . the scene of the two kids looking through the window is going to stay with me forever .\nlacey travels to hollywood , to the home of a film director , where she brings along the last surviving haunted mirror shard from the end of the first movie as proof to her horrifying experiences .\nlater on , retrospective reviews were much more positive regarding the film , with praise mainly towards its score , make - up effects , and betsy palmer ' s role , while it drew criticism for its script and lack of character development . dave kehr said that\nfor all its shoddiness , the film manages , just barely , to achieve its ignoble goals - - it delivers what it promises\n. james kendrick gave the film a 3 out of 4 , calling it\na campfire boogeyman story designed to do little more than build tension and deliver a few well - timed shocks , which it does with precision and even a bit of artistry\n. kevin carr said that\nwhat makes the movie work is that the slasher genre hadn ' t been set in stone yet , and some choices that director sean s . cunningham makes in the film that work against type\n. the film was nominated for afi ' s 100 years . . . 100 thrills .\nkarel dibbets has contributed significantly to the scientific study of film history in and about the netherlands . karel graduated at the dutch film academy in the section of camera and editing in 1971 , and in 1982 also at the university of amsterdam at economic and social history , at a time when departments of media studies in the netherlands didn\u2019t yet exist . his ma thesis from 1980 , bioscoopketens in nederland : economische concentratie en geografische spreiding van een bedrijfstak , 1928 \u2013 1977 ( cinema chains in the netherlands : economic concentration and geographical distribution of an industry , 1928 - 1977 ) , was a systematic empirical research that , afterwards , paved the way for digital humanities at large , and more specific his now - known and widely used cinema history database , an exhibition and distribution database of film in the netherlands , which originated from a research project supported by the national research council nwo in the years 2003 - 2007 . after his thesis , karel continued to focus on film exhibition and distribution . he wrote about it in the film magazine skrien in 1981 - 1983 , where he also served as editor - in - chief in that period . with the late frank van der maden he set up an authoritative volume in 1986 : de nederlandse film en bioscoop tot 1940 ( the dutch film and cinema [ theatre ] until 1940 ) . that \u201cand cinema\u201d in the title was very important to the editors : film was not just a story on the canvas , a medium , or \u201ctext\u201d in semiotic sense , but it was also a place of exhibition and an object of trade . that recognition was in line with the so - called \u201chistorical turn\u201d in film studies from the late 1970s onwards , even if in general mostly focused on exhibition and reception rather than on distribution .\neagle - eyed viewers will catch the word \u201cflammable\u201d scrawled across the back of the truck , yet when it careens off the cliff at the end of the movie it doesn\u2019t go boom . the studio wanted a big explosion , but the director wanted a slower demise for his film\u2019s villain .\npassed uncut in 2003 . this movie was prosecuted . snuff is a 1976 splatter film , and is most notorious for being marketed as if it were an actual snuff film . this picture contributed to the urban legend of snuff films , although the concept did not originate with it .\ni was checking through my r2 dvd of the boogeyman ( 1980 sony pictures ) and around the 45min mark a scene where a young woman is about to be killed by a pair of scissors ( anyone know of that scene ? ) the scissors appears to go towards her pink top to cut the pink top in a downward type way but this scene is missing ( i could swear this scene was in the old vipco video ) the camera just goes outside to the boy and the camera goes back to the bathroom scene again and then the scissors enter the throat and she ends up in the bath , now has this been cut due to titilation purposes ( ie blood on breasts a bbfc no no in their book ) because it does jump to the scene very badly as if their is footage missing from it .\nfriday the 13th was produced and directed by sean s . cunningham , who had previously worked with filmmaker wes craven on the film the last house on the left ( 1972 ) . cunningham , inspired by john\nalthough the film closely follows the events of the first book in stacpoole\u2019s series , also called the blue lagoon , the film\u2019s sequel ( 1991\u2019s return to the blue lagoon ) breaks with the storyline presented in the 1920s - era trilogy to essentially re - tell the original story ( read : more tanned teens falling in love on a tropical island ) . stacpoole\u2019s books were far more concerned with the culture of the south seas population , particularly as it was being further influenced by the arrival of european cultures .\nfans of the final destination franchise are already accustomed to the concept of an incorporeal entity wreaking havoc on anyone unfortunate enough to gaze upon it ( in final destination \u2019s case , the gaze is an ominous second sight ) . the notion holds origins in mythology and is widely used in horror . just as popular but often confused with the disembodied spirit ( which was always part of the spirit realm ) is the discarnate entity , which once held an earthly body before death . from the latin for \u201cwithout flesh\u201d , the discarnate entity often uses earthly objects as channels through which it conducts its malevolence ; such is the case in german director ulli lommel\u2019s 1980 slasher , the boogeyman , in which a condensed evil spirit uses a mirror as a conduit to wreak havoc on a rural american family .\n\u201ccropsey , \u201d named for the mythic boogeyman of hudson valley campfire stories , is the cinematic version of peeking under the bed and not breathing a sigh of relief . two parts true crime and one part folklore , the documentary examines a string of child disappearances on staten island during the \u201970s and \u201980s , including two for which the onetime willowbrook worker andre rand is serving time .\nthe werewolf and the yeti , night of the howling beast \u2013 no uk re -

series , lommel goes back to the year 1861 , when the spirit of the boogeyman was born , after a lynch mob killed an innocent native american from the apache tribe . the bible for the tv - series was written by colin mccracken , ulli lommel and david bond . frank dragun , omar kaczmarczyk and david bond are slated as producers with peter davis ( highlander ) as executive producer .\nvariety claimed the film was\nlow budget in the worst sense - with no apparent talent or intelligence to offset its technical inadequacies - friday the 13th has nothing to exploit but its title .\nwhat makes the movie work is that the slasher genre hadn ' t been set in stone yet , and some choices that director sean s . cunningham makes in the film that work against type .\nre - released with 10 seconds cut in 1992 . this movie was not prosecuted . in the uk , the film was deemed to be a video nasty , most probably because of the drill killing sequence , and for the cover artwork which depicted the spiked bat . it was assumed that the bbfc had worries that because the killing weapon was depicted clearly , it was imitable . however , the film was not successfully prosecuted , and was removed from the list .\npassed with over 4 minutes cut in 1988 ; re - released with 33 seconds cut in 2001 ; released uncut in 2009 . this movie was prosecuted . in the united kingdom , the film has had a history of problems with the bbfc over the years . the original cinema version was heavily cut with edits to the poker murder and the slashing of ann ' s throat , and this print was later released on video prior to the uk ' s video recordings act 1984 and subsequently banned as a video nasty . the film was made officially available in 1988 , though the print had been pre - edited by 34 seconds ( removing the cinema cuts ) and then additionally cut by 4 minutes 11 seconds with further cuts to the opening stabbing , the bat attack , norman ' s throat being torn out by freudstein and tracking shots of mutilated bodies in the basement . the film was again released in 1992 though this print had been heavily pre - cut by the distributors and removed 7 minutes 27 seconds of footage , thus rendering much of the film unintelligible . the 2001 vipco dvd issue restored nearly all of the film ' s prior edits but was cut by 33 secs by the bbfc with lesser edits made to the poker murder and a throat cutting . although willing to release the movie uncut , the film had recently been prosecuted under the obscene publications act following the discovery of bootleg copies of the uncut version , leaving the bbfc no choice but to cut the film . all the cuts were finally waived for the 2009 arrow dvd . the anchor bay dvd version was later released uncut , containing all the gore and violence from the original version . the film was released by blue underground on blu - ray ( as well as a new dvd edition ) on 25 october 2011 with a new 2k transfer .\ngerman - born director , ulli lommel has had a few standout horror films in a sea of straight - to - video serial killer movie crap . in the beginning there was tenderness of wolves , the boogeyman and then the criminally underrated , the devonsville terror , what has happened to his body of work since then is not something i can explain .\nif there was ever a film that didn ' t need a sequel , it was ulli lommel ' s the bogey man . this follow - up would have been more understandable if it were a personal project from the same director , but for some reason ; someone called bruce starr has taken up the reigns ( i neither know , or care , the reasons for this . or if bruce starr is a ulli lommel pseudonym ) . well . . . he sort of has , as this film is at least half a retread of the first film with direct ' flashback ' scenes making up a large proportion of the runtime . the plot this time focuses on some people in hollywood who want to make a film based on the events of the first bogey man film ( groan ) , this gives brucey starr an opportunity to stick a load of scenes from the original together with the stuff he directed . the main problem with the revenge of the bogey man is that it ' s mind numbingly boring ! i have to admit that even though it was merely a couple of months ago when i saw the first film , i can ' t remember most of it - and even that didn ' t stop the film being completely boring . the idea of a killer coming out of a mirror is more silly than frightening anyway , and while it doesn ' t surprise me that this film ended up on the dpp video nasty list , as the first one did and this is essentially the same film ; i for one wish it didn ' t because then i wouldn ' t have seen it . recommended ? nope !\nthe remake of friday the 13th is in development , with freddy vs . jason writers , damian shannon and mark swift , currently hired to script the new film . the film is reported to focus on jason voorhees , and that he will keep his trademark hockey - mask . the film is being produced by michael bay , andrew form , and brad fuller through bay ' s production company platinum dunes , for new line cinema . in november 2007 , marcus nispel , director of the 2003 remake of the texas chainsaw massacre , was hired to direct .\nso , the boogeyman , a video nasty that is very very nasty , but is actually very very good too . this is a film that should be seen by all horror fans , young and old as it is , in my mind anyway , a genre classic that does everything it can with what it has , and delivers a clever , sinister and creepy little violent horror that can stand proud with the best of what the 80\u2019s horror had to offer !\ni expected this film more originality from this film , with the whole haunted mirror idea . the problem is that pieces of this mirror traveling through the world stuck some kid\u2019s shoe , just didn\u2019t do it for me . the ghost in this mirror was also apparently very distractable . he went after people wherever the reflection shined . so while a piece of glass was stuck to the kid\u2019s shoe as he fished from a dock , the reflection went all the way across the lake and killed people who had nothing to do with the plot . i thought the ghost was pissed at specific people until this scene . despite this absurdity , there were still a couple early scenes where the mirror idea worked . in the bathroom , for instance , when the girl stabs herself in the throat , the mirror idea makes sense . it just seemed like halfway through the film they needed to find more deaths and ran out of main characters to kill . you will know what i\u2019m talking about when you see it , because it gets to a point where the whole focus of the boogeyman changes for about a half an hour .\nas children , lacey ( suzanna love ) and willy ( nicholas love ) murdered their alcoholic mother\u2019s abusive lover ( howard grant ) . ya know , like ya do . twenty years later , willy has withdrawn and become a mute while lacey is still haunted by the memories of that night . hoping to put her inner demons to rest , lacey revisits her childhood home where the murder happened and in a fit of rage , destroys an old mirror . little does she know , trapped within the mirror was the soul of the man they killed , or as she calls him , \u201cthe boogeyman\u201d . now , wherever a shard of the mirror falls , the boogeyman\u2019s spirit is free to roam and murder whoever gets in his way .\nin 1923 , director w . bowden crafted a silent version of the story . more than a quarter - century later , british filmmaker frank launder made a very well - received version for the big screen in 1949 , starring jean simmons and donald houston . the film was immensely popular , becoming the seventh - highest grossing domestic film at the u . k . box office that year .\noutside of the flashback , the boogeyman only appears as an invisible entity that levitates objects or causes lots of wacky green and red lighting effects ( which seem to lommel cribbing the style of dario argento because this man has no original ideas to speak of ) . when you * do * see the boogeyman , he\u2019s a guy with a woman\u2019s stocking stretched over his head . you know , like when people rob banks in movies . if lommel\u2019s intention was to create a classic masked slasher , ala michael myers , he really should have put more effort into the actual mask part ( admittedly , prom night had the same problem , but at least that movie had leslie nielson to take the edge off ) ."]}

offs ? the first two - issue mini - series is quite good even though they get a few of the rules from the film wrong and carpenter has said that if he ever did a sequel he ' s use them as a basis . i also thought that the video game sequel was very well done . they really captured the claustrophobia and paranoia of the film as well the mood and atmosphere to a t . at any rate , as someone who is a huge carpenter fan i really dug your post . great stuff .\naward -

in - law ' s business .\nwhile jarman cast nigel terry for his talent \u2014 and he gives a career - making performance in the title role \u2014 he also bears an uncanny resemblance to the historical caravaggio , as he painted himself in several works and as depicted in ottavio leoni ' s 1621 painting , the only documented portrait by another artist . this boded well for the entire production , that on september 2 , 1985 at long , long last began to film .\nat only 24 years old , burton apprenticed for walt disney productions working on storyboards , animations , and concept art . his dark , abstract style clashed with disney\u2019s established aesthetic . fortunately , disney\u2019s head of creative development recognized burton\u2019s strong , unique talents and gave him $ 60 , 000 to produce his own film . with the money and two months of production , burton wrote , directed , and designed vincent . upon completion , the film received limited distribution and was rumored to have never existed until it was added as a special feature to the nightmare before christmas in 2008 and added to cinema 16\u2019s american short films .\nthe film opened with leading members of the faculty of herrington high school in ohio being taken over by murderous aliens . the first to be possessed was menacing hornets football coach joe willis ( robert patrick ) , and then drama teacher mrs . karen olson ( piper laurie ) who used a pair of scissors to murder and also infect briskly efficient principal miss valerie drake ( bebe neuwirth ) .\nwas the recipient of many in a no less formidable age of quality and innovation . at the brussels fantasy festival it picked up both best film and critics ' prizes , at san remo it added prizes for best first feature and best actress for mary ryan to the cabinets , while in geneva it garnered the ' prix du publique ' . at fantasporto 1984 it took both ' premio especial ' ( special prize ) and the juri da critica ( jury prize ) for ireland , in a year when films in competition from the british isles stood at\njarman was a genius at getting maximum emotional , and thematic , effect from the fewest possible elements . he worked closely with art director michael buchanan , costume designer sandy powell , cinematographer gabriel beristain , and his longtime friend christopher hobbs as the production designer and head of the four - person art department . hobbs also painted the caravaggio canvases seen in the film , although the budget allowed him to create only a few fully realized reproductions , such as\nthe lute player .\nas jarman intended , most of the canvases accurately reflect caravaggio ' s so - called\nunderpaintings ,\nrough sketches that he later painted over to create his finished pictures .\nshot in stark black and white , the film\u2019s stop - motion animation is surreal and exaggerated as characters have big round eyes , tiny arms , and abstract faces . slanted walls , abstract shadows , and stylized sets establish malloy\u2019s inner world filled with horror and isolation . barely over six minutes in length , burton\u2019s vincent reveals the inner imagination of a child and relishes in the beauty of horror .\nmyles the matchmaker is involved because the younger of maura ' s two sisters janey ( bairbre ni chaoimh ) is pregnant and the father is eamonn farrell ( martin o ' flathearta ) , son of conor ( tom jordan ) , and the respective family patriarchs have famously not met one another on anything remotely approaching favourable terms for quite some time . the day of celebrations arrives and musicians in masks made of oat - straw appear and play , but it is not their tune that stops the proceedings momentarily . sailing in on the merriment is a quick and haunting fiddle from outside , the player scarf michael ( mark lally ) , a magical figure tainted by talk of evil association . as the hearth fire tale at the beginning of the film spins it :\nhe ' s the one plays a fiddle with a bow made of dead men ' s hair .\nthat search for the modern in the historical \u2014 through anachronism \u2014 is perhaps the boldest aspect of jarman ' s visual strategy . yet as noted above , it ' s also precisely what caravaggio did with his biblical subjects : there were no 1600 - style doublets or feathered caps at the martyrdom of matthew ( if , indeed , he even died that way : the bible and history are both mute ) . he also employs anachronistic sounds \u2014 like offscreen cars honking , a train whistle , a phone ringing \u2014 to expand further the limits of the film . as in so much of jarman , there ' s more here than meets the ear or eye .\nin light of this , it is good to be able to report that at least one of the festival ' s key figures , werner herzog ( ' ' fitzcarraldo ' ' ) , is still going strong , and that he appears to be a film maker of persistent , enduring imagination .\nin caravaggio , jarman brings together life and art in a manner that ' s both comical ( who hasn ' t gotten bored trying to hold a pose ) but revealing . thematically , this reintroduces both the body and the notion of time into paintings that are otherwise , by their nature , frozen . jarman reveals not only the messiness of life behind the pictures \u2014 from folly to violence \u2014 but , through this film , how they come together . is this the achievement of what haunted his fictional caravaggio : the joining together of flesh and blood , with canvas and paint ?\nthe narrative ' s flip side \u2014 or is it ? , jarman might ask \u2014 to the religious layer is , unexpectedly , film noir . admittedly , this is an unorthodox take on caravaggio , but know that jarman discussed noir directly with cinematographer gabriel beristain ( as recounted in the latter ' s video interview on the dvd ) , suggesting that caravaggio ' s chiaroscuro helped invent noir style , with its ( melo ) dramatic , selective lighting and shadowy backgrounds . a classic example of the style can be seen in jacques tourneur ' s noir landmark , out of the past ( 1947 ) . in one shot , that bears a rough compositional similarity to\nthe martyrdom of saint matthew ,\ntwo benighted characters sit huddled in a car , surrounded by pitch blackness \u2014 an impossibly blinding shaft of light ( from the dashboard ! ) illuminates just their faces : it doesn ' t get more chiaroscuro , or film noir , than that .\nas caravaggio ' s noir plot elements become unmistakable \u2014 during the scene in which jarman recreates\ndeath of the virgin\n\u2014 he uses , for the first time , a staple of noir lighting , the slatted pattern cast by venetian blinds ( previously , jarman and his designers had gone to great pains to use only authentic period oil skin - covered windows ) . and this film ' s end credits are an homage to perhaps the greatest noir , robert aldrich ' s kiss me deadly ( 1955 ) , whose world is so horrifically out of balance that even the credits run backwards .\ngrafton books , 1988 .

( jarman later parallels this scene with one in which ranuccio and lena , lying in a hammock at a 180 degree angle to each other , cascade each other with the florins he ' s earned \u2014 but lena herself will soon be in the money ; and note that this ' head to toe ' configuration parallels jerusaleme ' s position on the floor in relation to the dying caravaggio , whom he ' s watching over : the more closely you look at this film , the more there is to see . )\n[ beware of spoilers ] to put the matter bluntly , the triangle ( 2016 ) may just be the picnic at hanging rock ( 1975 ) of found - footag . . .\nas for the most enthusiastic audience reaction thus far , it has either been the wildly enthusiastic response to ' ' say amen , somebody , ' ' george t . nierenberg ' s documentary about gospel music , or the cheers that greeted the press screening of ' ' koyaanisqatsi , ' ' godfrey reggio ' s psychedelic compilation of images , with a philip glass score . why ? well , because mr . reggio ' s film is genuinely effective , and because it ' s a good deal less pretentious than any description would make it sound .

makers and the earliest celluloid version of vipranarayana was a silent movie in 1931 by peninsula film company , madras , with t . k . rukmini and t . s . bhaskaran in the lead . six years later came the first talkie on the saint , made in telugu by ahindra chowdhary for arora film corporation with kanchanamala and kasturi narasimha rao , playing the heroine devadevi and vipranarayana respectively . it was a hit . in 1938 director a . narayanan made \u2018vipranarayana\u2019 in tamil for sound city productions with tanguturi suryakumari and kothamangalam seenu .\np . ramakrishna and bhanumathi of bharani pictures decided to go in for a devotional subject for their sixth production and selected the story of vipranarayana . while bhanumathi herself was the natural choice for the role of devadevi , ramakrishna signed anr to play the saint despite severe criticism from his well - wishers that the artiste , being an atheist , was a misfit for that role . similar criticism had been thrown at anr earlier too when ramakrishna took him to play majnu in laila majnu and when vinoda pictures signed him for devadasu . on both occasions , anr proved his critics wrong . anr is believed to have prepared for the saint\u2019s role by having regular dialogue practice sessions with samudrala raghavacharya ( who wrote the dialogue and lyrics ) and also watched nagaiah\u2019s movie bhaktha pothana four or five times to get the feel of the brahmin devotee\u2019s character . his superb performance answered his detractors that an actor\u2019s personal beliefs do not come in the way of his screen portrayal .\nincidentally , anr was perhaps the only actor to play both devadevi and vipranarayana , one on the stage and the other on the screen . when anr used to don mostly female roles in his early days of acting on stage , he played devadevi in the drama \u2018vipranarayana\u2019 , training under popular theatre personality of the time , oddhiraju sriramamurthy .\nthe story : a staunch devotee of lord ranganatha , viparanarayana ( anr ) lives , along with his disciple rangaraju ( relangi ) , in an ashram on the banks of the cauvery at srirangam . devadevi ( bhanumathi ) , a devadasi , after performing a dance recital at the chola king ( v . sivaram ) \u2019s court on her way back along with her elder sister madhuravani ( sandhya , mother of tamil nadu chief minister jayalalitha ) , passes through the ashram . when viparanarayana does not even throw a glance at her , devadevi\u2019s vanity is hurt and she vows to entice him with her charm .\nshe enters the ashram making vipranarayana believe her sorrowful story . very soon vipranarayana surrenders to her charm . once her ego is satisfied , devadevi begins to regret her act . she leaves for her home and vipranarayana follows her , but devadevi\u2019s mother ( played by rushyendramani ) drives him out . unable to see his devotee\u2019s plight , lord ranganatha ( r . nageswara rao in a guest appearance ) assumes the form of rangaraju and gives a golden vessel to rangasani , saying that it has been sent by vipranarayana . soon it comes to light that the vessel has been stolen from the temple . the chola king orders the hands of vipranarayana to be amputated as a punishment . finally the lord appears and reveals the truth , saying that vipranarayana is none else than the human form of vyjayanthi , the garland that adorns him and devadevi is a gandharva kanya . vipranarayana assumes his real form and adorns the lord .\nin the movie , ramakrishna gave prominence to spiritual lyricism over romantic sensuality . his deft handling both as director and editor coupled with sevaraj\u2019s brilliant cinematography , samudrala raghavacharya\u2019s dialogue and lyrics tuned by saluri rajeswara rao contributed greatly to the film\u2019s huge success .\nif anr was subdued , bhanumathi as devadevi dominated the screen with her effortless acting . in the song sequence , \u2018saavirahe thava dheena\u2026\u2019 her melodious rendition and brilliant acting sent the audience into a trance . trained by popular bharathanatyam exponent of the time , kancheepuram ellappa of thanjavuru ( who composed a couple of songs for the film ) , bhanumathi\u2019s classical dances were also a revelation .\nvipranarayana was happened to be a rare movie in which ghantasala did not sing for anr . it was also being rumoured that for some unknown reasons differences cropped up between bhanumathi and ghantasala . however his absence in vipranarayana benefited the upcoming singer a . m . raja , who did not betray the trust reposed in him by rajeswara rao . raja , a student of pachaiappa\u2019s college , madras , used to meet the maestro frequently . he mesmerised the viewers with his soft melodious voice in \u2018paalinchara ranga\u2026 , \u2019 \u2018choodumade cheliyaa\u2026 , \u2019 and the duet with bhanumathi \u2018madhura madhuramee challani reyi\u2026\u2019 bhanumathi is also credited with the background score for the film .\nreleased on december 10 , 1954 , vipranarayana turned out to be a big hit and won the certificate of merit at the first national film awards , for its all -

like in the case of a folklore story of prince sarangadhara where his young stepmother got him be headed with false accusation .\nunlike the saiva mutts - where a brihmachari sanyasi takes over as the head of mutt - in south india vaishnava mutts chief becomes a sanyasi only after asrama sweekaram - who are from grihastramam - leading a normal married life . udaya bharathi wife of mandana mishra disqualified adi sankara himself at one stage to discuss\nmany gurus in ramayan and mahabharat period had their guru patnis - of course we know the story of sage vishwamitra seduced by maneka .\nnityananda issue may be an arranged seduction plot by interested parties to defame him .\nat the end it was she who reformed herself to join him in serving the lord . his story is\nthis biography is about thondaradippodiazhwar , who called himself as\nthedust at the feet of bhagavatals\n, was born to a vedic brahmin by name , vedavisarathar in thirumandangudi ( near kumbakonam ) in the month of margazhi and in kettai nakshathram , in the family of sozhiya vaishnava ( who had their\nkudumi\n( tuft ) on the top front portion and not behind ) ; he was an incarnation of vanamala ( divine garland of lord maha vishnu ) and he was named\nvipranarayana\n. he was taught tamil , sanskrit , vedas , upanishds , etc . , atan early age and he mastered them with no effort and shone like a bright tejasvi . he was also well versed in writing and singing tamil poetry and was fully well versed in\nshekar sir , yes indeed - even i had the good fortune of knowing couple of vedantic scholars whose interpretations of upanishads and vedas was a treat to hear . those days in temples we had regular meaningful discourses from scholars who lead normal family life observing all dharmas attributed to a grihastrami . upanyasam ( religious lecture ) accompanied by music or otherwise was an art - at the same time - giving insights into religion for a lay man and an introduction to spirituality . it was entertaining and relevant to modern social issues too . thanks for the input . nkr\nnityanandas are the products of our corrupt society . i agree that there are genuine gurus . i happened to hear somgiri maharaj during a function of mining industry in bikaner . i was very much impressed by the depth of his knowledge . i came to know that he was a lecturer in civil engineering before his voluntary renunciation . he opted for living in secluded hermitage . on the invitation of the royal family he accepted to head shiv mandir [ shiv baady ] at bikaner . he is respected by one and all . he is open for discussion . he did not like pomp or publicity .\ndear sekhar , of course they have a lot of things to hide - as they have projected an image to attract crowds - not in conformity with his private behavior . thease guys are not sanyasis - they have commercial interests . but there are mutts which are run fairly efficient keeping their private followers happy according to their tradition - they have a job to do and an agenda of promoting their sect of religion - the mutt chief is an appointment like pope or any other clergy . but these ( like nityananda ) are self proclaimed - promoted gurus thriving on ignorant masses who have confused ideas on religion and believe these guys are intermediaries to god - by their costumes and lecturing ability with little knowledge acquired from scriptures . the only aim of these so called swamis is to make money for themselves and those who sponsor them . regards . nkr\ndear nolife , the problem is if i am a guru with a pant and shirt - lecturing on spirituality and religious philosophy - myself leading a normal family life - i am likely to be rejected - people won ' t accept me as a guru what ever may be knowledge i have acquired of vedanta . so when certain restrictions are imposed on mutt chief he might as well be recruited at an relatively old age from among the scholars ( that is what the vaishnavite mutt like ahibuila muutt does ) - only after his past life , deeds and qualifications in the required field stands public / devotees and deciples ' scrutiny in order to run the mutt effectively and his body ready enough to accept the life / food habits / daily routine that is expected of him . after all every mutt needs an administrative head from the religious beck ground . thank you . regards . nkr\nthanks for this eye opening blog . right ! the guru and the cheli are both right . when the lord vishnu himself had goddess laxmi with him , why not the gurus have the chelees ? but then what is that they are trying to hide ? and why the guru is under ground ? we should agree that a guru is a man too and nothing wrong if a married women wants him . i remember a telugu song \u201c govindudu andari vadele \u201d meaning govinda belongs to all .\nphilosophy is a deeper science than the physical sciences that we study for 16 years in school and college . while so , not having a proper guru for it is really sad . that is possibly the reason why people go hunting for one . with no set rules laid out for the gurus , it is a difficult game . i partake on your idea , mr ravi . the media in its hurry , generally , passes judgments which are one sided . one of the fundamentals in communication that we have all learnt is there are always two sides to any coin . we have seen only one and we are all coming to a conclusion based on this one eyed view . it is like the blind men trying to know the elephant . media is always generous in this respect . they never try to provide you the other side of the game . may be because , the sensationalism will be lost and they cannot sell it any more . may be it is true . may be it is false . we cannot conclude with the evidences presented . on the story of our alwar , though i have read his story earlier , your thought provoking presentation and view is commendable . it is my humble opinion , that this story and many others that do the rounds ( so many manekas and thilothammas ) does not show the women in good light . however this story is highly plausible , men being so weak at heart . i used to remember a site called urltoken run by ladies for ladies . i remember a statement made once in it .

inspiring portrayal gives rajiv menon a whole different dimension on screen . when he tells nedumudi venu \u2013 \u2018thommiye eniku tharumo\u2019 or tells karamana janaardhanan \u2013 \u2018njan avanu oru adi kodukatte uncle\u2019 , mohanlal amuses us with his innocence .\nfrom tamil star surya to malayalam actor ganesh , one common thing a lot of them use to say about mohanlal is that even his fingers and fingernails can act . in dasharatham\u2019s climax , when mohanlal rests his hand on sukumari\u2019s shoulder and tells her - \u201d annie mone snehikunna pole maggieku enne snehikaamo\u2019 , you could just watch his fingers and you would understand what they all mean . mohanlal\u2019s terrific acting quite ably supported by the ever versatile sukumari and a hauntingly beautiful background score makes sure lohitadas\u2019s well scripted climax is one that viewed by many of us multiple times and which stays with you for long anytime you watch it .\nthere is a general notion that even if you don\u2019t have a great script or character for mohanlal , if you can cast him as a drunkard throughout a movie , you could have wonderful returns . hello is a fine example of this where the makers produced a huge hit just at a time when mohanlal was having flops and siddeeq too tried the same with the recent \u2018ladies and gentlemen\u2019 . there are few actors in the business who could match up to mohanlal\u2019s flamboyance when he acts drunk . in dasharatham too , he just sizzles on screen as you see in several instances like his introduction scene where he asks random people in the bar to give him a company , when he gets out and walks into the glass door and when he gets into the jeep and searches for the steering .\ndasharatham movie is all about rajiv menon ( mohnalal ) who is born into riches and who is an alcoholic womanizer with absolutely no aim in life . with no parents to guide him and with the family business being run by a trusted manager pillai ( karamana janardanan nair ) , rajiv is free to waste his life and money on drinks and debauchery . a close friend scariah ( nedumudi venu ) with his wife and children come over to stay at rajiv\u2019s palatial house for a week . soon rajiv gets attached to one of scariah ' s children and decides that he wants to have a child of his own , but neither does he want to get married nor does he want to adopt a baby . good friend , guide and philospher dr . hameed ( sukumaran ) advises rajiv to rent a womb . they come across a former football player chandradas ( murali ) who is in dire need of money for an operation , his wife annie ( rekha ) agrees to give birth to rajiv\u2019s child through artificial insemination . both charandas and annie aren\u2019t happy about the decision \u2013 it\u2019s clearly a desperate solution to their financial needs .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nrajeev , an orphan eccentric millionaire , has his own strange taste towards everything . with less knowledge about family relationships , he struggles hard to achieve his aim to become a father without marrying .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

sibi - lal were at the helm of affairs it was destined to stand out as a jewel in indian cinema .\nwatching the movie for the first time , i was blown away by the audacity of lohi to even come up with a story that could well have had the conservatists demanding for his execution ! i am pretty certain that the movie would have met with a fair amount of consternation at that time but eventually it prevailed over these impediments to give us one of the most touching films . clearly the golden period of malayalam cinema also meant that lohi was at his writing peak and thank goodness for it .\nthe most telling aspect of ' dasaratham ' is the treatment rendered to the script by lohi and sibi . had the same movie been made in tamil , i am certain it would be vulgar , obscene and highly objectionable . there is not a moment in the movie where you sense any vulgarity or obscenity and that according to me is perhaps the usp of the movie performances notwithstanding . in this sense i feel this also sibi ' s best directorial venture to date . he could have easily crossed the line and made it crass but instead he decided it should a classic ! kudos to sibi .\ncoming to the performances - lal is just phenomenal . he underscores his genius in this cult classic . he brings to the table his entire repertoire of acting skills and displays the whole range of emotions in his own inimitable restrained style . to show case comic skills and the ability to emote they way he did in the climax is just top notch . the body language of lal especially in the climax just before he asks sukumari to be his mom is brilliant , the trembling hand before he asks sukumari the question is etched vividly to this day in my mind . lal shines like an incandescent light throughout the movie .\nmurali ( expected ) and rekha ( surprisingly ) have turned in performances that would leave the movie goers at the end of the movie on their feet and clapping . murali is without doubt a jewel in the actors guild but highly underrated for reasons beyond my comprehension . the helplness portrayed by these actors in varyiing degrees of the movie is highly commendable . nedumudi venu is brilliant as usual .\nthe film is to be watched , admired and celebrated as a classic for a long time to come .\nupload photo files with . jpg , . png and . gif extensions . image size per photo cannot exceed 10 mb\nan otp has been send to your mobile . please enter otp to verify your mobile number\nan otp has been sent to your email address . please enter otp to verify your email address\nella mai \u2013 boo ' d up ( remix ) ft . nicki minaj & quavo\nurltoken is the second highest transacted travel website in the country , next only to irctc .\nomewhere in 2006 when phanindra sama and his friends approached the indus entrepreneurs ( tie ) for support to incubate their raw business solution as a venture , it introduced them to their first mentor , anand rajaram , himself a successful entrepreneur and a seed investor .\nthe first advice he gave to sama and his teammates made a lasting impression on the minds of these aspiring entrepreneurs and led them to build one of the most successful ecommerce ventures in the country .\nrajaram told them he often felt surprised and laughed at people who spend a lot of money on t - shirts with logos of well - known brand to earn respect from others . instead , they should buy clothes that give comfort .\nthe moral of the story for the team was to be careful about their spending habits . it should be need - based , instead of massaging egos and earning respect . till date , not just sama but most of the team management prefer to travel by buses when going to neighbouring cities to do jobs that can wait for the time spent on a night\u2019s travel .\nrajaram , who spent his initial years at wipro working closely with its founder chairman azim premji , used to tell the redbus founding team stories on how the latter never compromises on the value system and never takes short - cuts like bribery to get work done .\naybe , we could have grown a little faster by getting work done by paying a bribe but that was never meant to be long - lasting , \u201d says sama , the co - founder and chief executive of pilani soft labs , which owns the redbus platform .\nthe company , recently acquired by south african media giant naspers through its indian subsidiary , ibibogroup , for around $ 120 million ( around rs 790 crore today ) , has since grown at a scorching pace to establish a virtual monopoly in the bus ticketing market in india .\nit commands a whopping 65 per cent market share in this segment , issuing 12 million bus tickets a year , with a gross merchandise value ( gmv ) of around rs 600 crore . the platform developed by sama and his two other colleagues , charan padmaraju and sudhakar pasupunuri , initially as a not - for - profit initiative , today supports 1 , 200 bus operators belonging to 24 states , apart from the road transport corporations of five states .\n\u201credbus is the dominant online bus ticket aggregator , with a well - recognised brand among bus travellers , as demonstrated by its market share , growth , quality of traffic and conversation rates , and with deep relationships among major luxury bus operators , \u201d said nitin nayar , managing director , warburg pincus india .\n\u201cfurther , redbus is developing proprietary data to strengthen its long - term lead . user reviews on the consumer side , and custom analytics to help operators plan routes and offer dynamic pricing will ensure all participants continue to be engaged with the platform , even as the market becomes more competitive , \u201d nayar added .\nhat made redbus grow at such a past pace ? sama says there are many factors . from the external point of view , it could be the sheer luck of identifying the right opportunity at the right time .\n\u201cwhen we started this , internet was not that big . we were perhaps slightly ignorant , because nobody else believed that even so many number of bus tickets could be sold though internet . otherwise , somebody else would have started , \u201d says sama .\nfor sama and his friends , the idea of developing an online bus ticketing platform came out of their personal need , to address an issue most bus passengers face .\nit started after sama failed to get a bus to his home city during the durga puja time in 2005 . when he proposed an idea to develop this platform , his other two co - founders who were staying in the same flat liked it very much . they started taking the help of a few other techies ( in fact , initially seven of them had started working on developing the platform ) , who were staying in the same flat . the idea was to empower bus operators by providing this as an open source platform . but it never clicked , as not many were ready to take it even as free . at this juncture , someone suggested they approach tie .\ns advised by their mentor , sama and his team had to first identify the market opportunities for their venture . they decided to start with karnataka . there was no study done to evaluate this industry . at that stage , they did not have funds to appoint anybody to do it . so , they decided to do it themselves .\n\u201cwe went to kalasipalyam ( a place in bangalore from where most private buses operate ) and checked shop by shop . they gave some information but that was based more on guess . so , we tried to find the most repetitive number . that\u2019s how we did the survey , \u201d recalls sama .\nthus , the team gave shape to a company known for its flagship redbus platform . sama virtually built a sector that was almost non - existent and created the market and the demand .\nedbus created a huge market for online bus ticketing , which was not even seen as a market by the big players and helped create several other companies along the way , \u201d he added .\nredbus and sama never looked back since then . with an initial funding of just rs 2 . 5 crore from seedfund in 2007 and a subsequent round by inventus of around rs 8 crore ( rs 80 million ) , the company started growing at a scorching pace from the first year .\nfrom just rs 50 lakh of gmv in the first year ( it\u2019s for six months as the company started in august ) to rs 5 crore ( rs 50 million ) in the second year and rs 30 crore ( rs 300 million ) in the third year . the gmv had hit rs 600 crore ( rs 6 billion ) in 2012 , when the company last publicly disclosed the figure .\napart from giving birth to the online bus ticketing industry , redbus engine today runs on most of the competing online bus ticketing platforms . the bus ticketing platforms of the competitions such as makemytrip , expedia and urltoken share the revenues with it for every ticket booked using its platform .\nand that is what sama believes in . \u201cin internet , there is space for only one company in every field of internet . for example , we only have one popular search engine , one popular social platform . so there is always a big race to become that large company because all of them know that unless they become large , they will become smaller and smaller and die one day , \u201d concludes sama .\nthis new site reveals so much more . enter a name and state to begin .\nthe feedback you provide will help us show you more relevant content in the future .\nonly the genius of mohanlal could pull this off ! the complexity of the lower caste kathakali artist kunikuttan ' s character earning for his father ' s acceptance and grieving over his estranged son has been performed extremely graciously by him . this is perhaps one of the greatest characters he has ever performed ! and rightfully so he received his 3rd national award for best actor with this !\nthis particular scene is considered as one of the most heart wrenching scenes in malayalam movie history . a distraught rajiv menon ' s emotions have been brought to life by mohanlal to create an extremely emotional climax to the classic .\nsethumadhavan is perhaps one of the most unforgettable performances by the stalwart ! the angst of shattered dreams as well as the gravity between the father ( brilliantly portrayed by another maestro - thilakan ) and the aspiring police officer son is showcased brilliantly in this sibi malayil masterpiece . this movie fetched him his first national award !\nmanichitrathazhu is a landmark movie in malayalam cinema on many fronts . the look of fear is evident on dr . sunny ' s face as he tries to comfort a worried nakul is depicted with ease by mohanlal . to stand out considering that shobhana has provided one of the best performances as a mentally unstable ganga in this technical masterpiece is a feat in itself . dr . sunny is as fondly remembered just as ganga is feared by the malayalis all around the world .\nthis movie shows the versatility of mohanlal . gifted with one of the finest comic timings , he makes you laugh clinching your stomach and then he makes you cry .\nensure your application gets content from any user , any device , anywhere in the world with filestack .\nsethu madhavan in chenkol . one of the best movies in which a character grows and matures in front of your eyes . i consider this as mohanlal ' s the most powerful character in malayalam . not poetic , not heroic , but the simple frustration of a common man due to the circumstances he is thrown into . just watch the below scene . the first time i saw this , i was mesmorized . i didnt see\nlalettan\n. i only saw sethu . i dont know if there exists one with english subtitle though . if anyone wants to know , i will translate when free : )\nthe film revolves around t . p . balagopalan ( mohanlal ) , a middle class post -

( i got badly carried away by innerfidelitys - wall - fame ) .\nit is for my tastes , overall . but it ' s apples and oranges really .\nwhat do you think would suit my tastes tho ( my reply to op has what i love for now ) ? and i kinda love headphones that demolish autotune / huge modulation in voice in exchange for magic when it comes to acoustic and 70s and a little bit of synthetic music . i do like electronic and pop , but the daft punk and backstreet boys kinda stuff . and if i am right , minority by green day should sound better on elear than 800 or is it the other way around ?\nand eager about the hd598 review . i have one , just curious to learn what i ' m missing out from high end headphones . . if possible please compare the 598 against hd600 and hd800 , ( i know mine is gonna be crushed , but still curious )\nall the ones you mentioned are better on the elear , especially if you like indian soundtracks by the likes of ar rahman where there ' s a lot going on .\ni ' ll review the hd598 in the near future , need to do an iem on loaner first . i can already tell you that it ' s warmer than the hd800 . the soundstage is comparable to the elear and hd600 in my view , even though i heard from people that the 598 has a wider soundstage than the hd600 .\nno doing ar rahman well is not a criterion for headphones for me . my favorite arr albums are not very popular ( ayutha ezhuthu , new , uyire / dil se , may maadham , kangalal kaidhu sei , boys , guru , shivaji the boss ) . as a matter of fact i hate most ar rahman songs that came after 2007 ( but it ' s nice to see him being popular abroad ) . his songs are played around here often and just kinda know them well , so i use it when testing my headphones . but i do love indian voices like shreya ghoshal ' s ( especially barso re ) , hariharan and chitra and indian classical music and instruments like sitar , mridangam , etc . .\nmy major preferences are pink floyd , michael jackson especially those 2 albums i mentioned , followed by the songs i specifically mentioned for testing like summertime sadness , alphabeat , minority , that soundstage bubbles song , those sound tracks and artists like sarah jarosz ( especially ring them bells ) , mariah carey , daft punk , etc . . so yep quite a lot of genres . in your elear review , i guess you mentioned hd800 does focused songs like pink floyd better and that kinda got me , but i do listen to chunky songs like minority as well . i do listen to other electronic / dubstep but they are hardly a priority for me .\nmy tracks kept changing with new gear . my first one was kryptonite , the sound magic e10 did that song some real good justice , drums were very punchy . then when i got my vsd3s , i knew songs with lots of female vocals , dubstep and 70s classics . three particular songs i thought i knew end to end was bet my life by imagine dragons , dreams by beck and the right time by the corrs . but now hd598 s came and my current test tracks ( including what i obtained from my vsd3s ) are\nmichael jackson - man in the mirror ( emotion , feel , mids and highs . . became my most favorite after hd598 came )\nenrique iglesias - why not me , disclosure ft sam smith - latch , the script - walk away ( bass quality and coherence with rest of spectrum ) .\nmichael jackson - blood on the dance floor . ( the chorus around 3 . 15 ) michael jackson - butterflies ( the backgroud female vocals that come around the later part of the song ) - ( both for testing if any mids is being submerged / compressed and fighting for room , and testing choruses brings out the best in mids )\ns . o . a . d - b . y . o . b , and some raps like eminem - lose yourself ( check how effortlessly i can make out the lyrics , lesser the effort better the headphones . they flow like butter out of my hd598 )\nnorah jones - don ' t know why , bjork - quiet , cranberries - zombie , lana del ray - summertime sadness ( extremely quiet masters , show how contrasting sounds your headphone can produce especially when it played after alphabeat ) . . will show if your source is under driving your headphones .\nmetallica - nothing else matters , avenged sevenfold - hail to the king , mariah carey - always be my baby ( coherence , ease of understanding lyrics especially in hail to the king , feel and continuity ) . i also use always be my baby as sub bass nsturality / existence if any test ( 12 to 22 seconds )\nthe corrs - toss the feathers , cma - fragments of the past , audiomachine - breath and life , baptiste thirty - dreams ( non vocal music ) .\nsoundtracks - hans zimmer ( especially inception ) , thomas newman , james horner ( this guy ' s my most favourite ) , james newton howard . . american beauty soundtrack is pretty amazing to test stuff .\nquite a bit of v shaped , bass head or dubstep tracks . skrillex - bangarang ( feat . sirah ) , benny benassi ft . gary go - cinema ( skrillex remix )\nsennheisers test tracks of hd800 or orpheis . . found them somewhere on youtube and they were damn impressive even on my vsd3s .\nthis malayalam song is one of my favorites , so i kinda know it pretty well .\nsome videos from the net like ads ( they have some really epic music ) and some live stage performances like world of dance for testing emotion , stage feel , realism and sub bass quality / existence . soundstage as well to an extent , but realism > too much soundstage in this case .\ni listen to a looot of genres - vocals , instrumentals , orchestras , live videos , short films , lots of ads and adventure videos like devinsupertramp and music from 70s classic 8 / 90s pop to modern hip hop , dubstep , electronica , metal , etc and am open to trashing my old collection and moving to newer ones . fortunately i ' ve never had to trash much other than some chris brown , justin bieber and the likes stuff . but my favorites wavered a lot before settling on the 70s greats of pink floyd ( shine on you crazy diamonds , crying song , us and them , brain damage ) , the doors ( the end , riders in the storm ) , eagles and queen . so much feel , coherence and complexity , yet simple . and exceptional talent . if these felt spot on on any headphone , it ' ll be my end game . and i also find michael jackson ' s invincible ( especially speechless , heaven can wait and break of dawn ) and dangerous ( could there be anyone who doesn ' t like this album ? ) albums to be incredibly good for enjoying and testing . they have all tests in one package . they sound good on anything decent , but they keep scaling as the equipment quality increases . none of my headphones keep me contended with these and give me one big reason to go down the rabbit hole .\ni wouldn ' t be surprised if all other songs got replaced from this list with my next headphone , except those 4 70s greats and invincible and dangerous . the soundtracks i mentioned are pretty deep as well .\ni also listen to some ar rahman music on new headphones , not because i ' m a fan or anything , just because i know them pretty well and his songs are mastered very well . they are decent but nothing special to test for me .\nand sometimes you can confirm your headphone is excellent if it shows how horrible some music / mastering is . lot of people say rhcp sounds bad on good headphones , but to me songs like scar tissue and hey oh sound just fine on all my gear . . i haven ' t tried californication yet tho ! ! . i have certain youtube tracks that have pretty bad mastering , random jumping and popping of music and my hd598 show them clearly well , like a magnifying gslass . kinda makes me feel very good about them .\ni think quite a lot of songs above could be used for testing imaging and timbre , but i ' m newbie when it comes to audio , and i don ' t know musical instruments any good . so can ' t comment on that .\nand yes , one song will never make it for me . i never get excited for reviews stating about 10 - 15 minute experiences , except if for pink floyd , doors or eagles .\ni like your style man - also i like your comments on the songs , im only 1 quater through but lovin most so far .\nthey ' ve put out apologies with albums for not sounding as good as they wanted , albums that years later are still held in exceptional regard for their quality . they ' re studio perfectionists . . ."]}

( when one emissary returns with a report of yet another fruitless search , the prince impatiently shoves him backward , knocking down a row of other attendants like dominoes ! ) and the dynamics of the early scenes are sweetly reversed at film\u2019s end , when the stepsisters , arriving at the wedding , are once again surprised to receive cinderella\u2019s forgiveness .\na fairy godmother magically turns cinderella ' s rags to a beautiful dress , and a pumpkin into a coach . cinderella goes to the ball , where she meets the prince - but will she remember to leave before the magic runs out ? m\u00e9li\u00e8s based the art direction on engravings by gustave dor\u00e9 . first known example of a fairy - tale adapted to film , and the first film to use dissolves to go from one scene to another .\ncinderella was m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s first major cinematic success . it did well both in french fairground cinemas and at european and american music - halls , and inspired m\u00e9li\u00e8s to create other lavishly designed storytelling films with multiple scenes . his next film with multiple scenes , joan of arc ( 1900 ) , was his first to surpass 200 meters of film in length , and was also a marked success . according to the film historian lewis jacobs , cinderella ' s use of spectacle on screen also influenced the films of cecil b . demille .\nseen in the film , as these devices are highly unusual in m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s style .\ncinderella appears in the pilot movie sofia the first : once upon a princess , where she helps sofia make friends with amber , her stepsister .\nfounded in 1999 , senses of cinema is one of the first online film journals of its kind and has set the standard for professional , high quality film - related content on the internet .\ncendrillon ( cinderella ) by georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s is the oldest known film adaptation of the homonym charles perrault ' s 1697 fairy tale . the film was extraordinary then for having multiple scenes , using six distinct sets and five changes of scene within the film ; it is also the first movie to utilize a dissolve transition between scenes . cendrillon was shot in the\nglass house\nstudio designed by m\u00e9li\u00e8s himself and located in montreuil , seine - saint - denis , france . in 1912 m\u00e9li\u00e8s made another adaptation of the story ,\ncendrillon ou la pantoufle merveilleuse\n( cinderella or the glass slipper ) .\nthis film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what\u2019s now showing\ndavid thomson , a biographical dictionary of film , london , deutsch , 1994 , p . 504 .\nanother cinderella story was a modern re - telling of the original featuring the likes of selena gomez and drew seely . this version was retold as a modern story that was deemed as more of a romantic comedy and a thematic sequel to the 2004 film , a cinderella story , which was widely hated by both fans and critics . the follow - up was met with praise , which led to a third release in the ( unconnected ) series titled , \u201ca cinderella story : once upon a song , \u201d which was also deemed a flop by critics and moviegoers .\nthe best introductions to m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 biography are david robinson , georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s : father of film fantasy , london , museum of the moving image , 1993 , and jacques meny\u2019s film la magie m\u00e9li\u00e8s ( 1997 ) .\nthe first credited ( short ) film in the history of the story was a french piece produced by georges meiles . the film met with little critical review and was deemed a complete failure at the time .\nalong with its imaginative technique , this film is notable for its storytelling . the plot of \u201ccinderella\u201d familiar to most of us today stems from the french version published by charles perrault in the late 17th century , and most of the silent films discussed above are clearly based on that model . but in the meantime the brothers grimm had published a very different \u201caschenputtel\u201d ( \u201ccinderella\u201d ) in 1812 , and reiniger\u2019s film , produced in germany , preserves some elements from their version . here we see cinderella forced to pick lentils out of the fireplace ashes ; the birds that help her with these and other tasks ; the heroine praying at her mother\u2019s grave ; the tree that magically provides cinderella with her ball gown ; and the stepsister who hacks off a large chunk of her own foot to fit it into the slipper\u2014which is then drenched with blood !\nlouise lagrange , who would later appear in many french and hollywood films , plays one of cinderella ' s sisters . in a conversation with the writers of a\nbut this is a m\u00e9li\u00e8s film , after all , and the plot takes a back seat to a spectacular display of screen - and stagecraft . the scene of the fairy godmother preparing cinderella for the ball\u2014transforming the pumpkin into a coach , continuing through the assembly of cinderella\u2019s retinue of footmen and servants , and climaxing with the appearance of her gown\u2014is the centerpiece of the film , a sumptuous banquet of stage and movie magic that occupies about a third of the total footage . true to m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 background , it\u2019s staged like a conjurer\u2019s performance : beginning with a nondescript staging area outside the house , cutting away as cinderella gathers the mice , rats , and lizards that will be transformed by the godmother\u2019s magic , then returning to the \u201cstage\u201d as more and more layers of extravagance are added , culminating in a lush theatrical tableau as cinderella prepares to leave for the ball .\none camera effect may be overlooked by the modern viewer : m\u00e9li\u00e8s incorporates several cross - dissolves in the course of the story . the picture follows cinderella\u2019s progress by dissolving from her cottage to the royal ball , and dissolves back again when she returns . after the prince finds her , we dissolve again to the church exterior to see their wedding procession . in 1899 , of course , these dissolves had to be performed in the camera , multiplying the complexities of m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 stagecraft in producing this film . one always hesitates to use the word \u201cfirst\u201d carelessly , but cross - dissolves were undeniably an innovation at this point in history , and charles musser has ventured the claim that this was perhaps the first film to use them .\nfor example , in cinderella there is a dance number by old father time and a chorus of girls who transform back and forth between human and clock [ see video above ] . i guess it could be argued that this enhances the fantastical theme of the film ; nonetheless , it is clear that these prolonged dance sequences are an opportunity for the demonstration of m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019s film techniques .\nthe cinderella castle is an attraction at walt disney world ' s magic kingdom and tokyo disneyland at the tokyo disney resort . both serve as globally recognized icons for their respective theme parks . cinderella and the other disney princesses have a meet and greet attraction called princess fairytale hall at magic kingdom .

era filmmakers couldn\u2019t resist the idea of updating the cinderella theme to their own time . georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s , in addition to his faithful adaptations , produced in 1909 a contemporary comedy about a girl who buys a pair of shoes and loses one of them . the man who finds the shoe places a classified ad , and he and the girl meet and eventually marry\u2014the attendant publicity prompting a new craze : shoes bought and deliberately lost by women seeking romance ! vitagraph\u2019s a modern cinderella actually did transpose the cinderella tale to a contemporary setting , with the heroine ( mary fuller ) and her stepsister rooming together in a boarding house . here the fairy godmother was a fellow boarder , an older lady , apparently of some means , who took an interest in cinderella , bought her a new wardrobe , and provided her own limousine to take the girl to the ball . there cinderella met the kind lady\u2019s grandson , who later discovered her misplaced shoe , traced it to her through the shoe store , and was reunited with her for a happy ending . this picture survives today , and\u2014although the stepsister\u2019s suppression of cinderella is a little harder to accept in the egalitarian context of twentieth -

[ 44 ] according to the spokesman - review , woods once said in an interview with starlog that\ni love the idea that after i\u2019m gone , children will still be hearing my voice [ as cinderella ] . \u201d [ 45 ] in 2013 , film school rejects recognized woods as one of\n7 no - name actors who had iconic roles\n, ranking the actress first and writing ,\nwoods . . . really set the bar high , as she managed to audition for the part of cinderella without even realize she had done it .\n[ 46 ]\nher fairy godmother appears to make her dreams come true and transforms her torn dress into a beautiful shimmering silver gown . before cinderella leaves , her godmother warns her that the spell will be broken at midnight . at the ball , cinderella dances with prince charming and they immediately fall in love with each other . as twelve o ' clock approaches , she hurries to leave , hoping to prevent the spell from breaking at the ball , which could cause her to get caught by her stepmother or stepsisters . in her haste , she loses one of her glass slippers on the staircase but fails to retrieve it in time . cinderella hurries into her coach as it prepares to leave . the spell breaks and cinderella is in rags once more before reminiscing her dance with the prince and thanking her godmother for all she ' s done for her . the next day , the prince announces he will marry the woman whose foot fits into the glass slipper . lady tremaine hears cinderella humming the same song that had played at the ball and figures out cinderella was the girl prince charming fell in love with . cinderella is locked in the tower by her stepmother , who refuses to let her have the opportunity to try on the slipper , but her animal friends help her escape . she hurries downstairs to try on the glass slipper . knowing the slipper will fit , lady tremaine plots revenge by causing the footman to trip and shatter the slipper , causing a fire when it hits the ground . cinderella reveals that she has kept the other slipper . she tries it on , and it fits perfectly . she and the prince are married soon after . [ 15 ]\nthough it ' s the condensed version that would be expanded in 1912 , this short film captures the overall plot of the movie quickly .\nthe tiff cinematheque series the enchanted screen : fantasy in silent film begins saturday , august 5 , with many screenings featuring live piano accompaniment .\nit is a classical story about cinderella , her evil stepmother , and the prince , but told with caustic satirical undertones by the soviet writers evgeny schwartz and nikolai erdman . many phrases from the movie became aphorisms .\nlike the reiniger film discussed above , this other german film preserves some elements from the brothers grimm , along with some of the perrault standbys and some delightful inventions apparently hatched by berger himself . the fairy godmother ( frieda richard ) plays a strong and proactive role here , not only providing the magic that enables cinderella to attend the ball , but stepping in on numerous other occasions to help her out of some difficulty . the scene of cinderella\u2019s escape from the ball , just before the stroke of midnight , demonstrates the film\u2019s charm and cinematic invention : as she nears the palace doorway , her coach , visible just outside , suddenly explodes and is replaced by a clock tower reminding her of the time . she evades the pursuing prince and crosses a lovely little bridge with an ornate covered section in the center and breakaway sections at either end . when the prince reaches the bridge , the godmother causes the outer sections to swing away from the center , stranding him there , then tosses a cloak of invisibility over cinderella , who uses it to disappear and make her escape .\nm\u00e9li\u00e8s modeled the film ' s visual style on the engravings of gustave dor\u00e9 , who had illustrated the story for an edition of perrault ' s fairy tales . ( dor\u00e9 was stylistically influential across m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s career , especially in this film and in his film adaptations of four other works dor\u00e9 had illustrated : red riding hood , blue beard , the wandering jew , and baron munchausen ' s dream . ) the direct inspiration for the film of cinderella was probably a stage adaptation premiered in 1896 by the th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la galerie - vivienne and played by the troupe raymond at m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s own theatre of illustions , the th\u00e9atre robert - houdin , at christmastime of 1897 ; m\u00e9li\u00e8s may also have been inspired by the th\u00e9\u00e2tre du ch\u00e2telet ' s lavish 1895 stage production of the story .\nthat zecca had\nmassacred\nthe film , cutting out the best scenes , including one in which pumpkins race each other across a garden .\nonce thought lost forever , this is the earliest known film of any shakespeare play . derived from the her majesty\u2019s theatre production of king john , this surviving fragment contains only one scene , although the original presented four scenes and ran at four minutes in duration . courtesy of eye film institute\nthe american biograph at the palace \u2013 an advertising film for biograph films ( which were billed in the uk as american biograph ) at the palace theatre , london , highlighting films of the dreyfus trial . from richard brown and barry anthony , a victorian film enterprise . ( 1999 ) .\nthe iconic\nbibbidi - bobbidi - boo\nmusical sequence in which cinderella ' s fairy godmother magically transforms the character ' s tattered rags into a beautiful ball gown has garnered widespread critical acclaim , receiving positive reviews , accolades and recognition from several entertainment critics . allmovie described the sequence as\nsplendidly done ,\n[ 35 ] while hitfix deemed it the film ' s best moment . [ 60 ] according to urltoken , the transformation of cinderella ' s dress into a ballgown remains a common favorite and\none of the most iconic pieces of disney animation because of what it means for the titular character .\n[ 61 ] stylecaster wrote that the scene is responsible for introducing the common\nmovie makeover ,\nwriting ,\never since cinderella ditched those rags and threw on a ball gown and a pair of glass slippers , movie audiences have fallen for the beloved transformation storyline .\n[ 62 ] featuring cinderella in its list of\n13 movie makeovers that still totally rock our socks off\n, glamour summarized the scene ' s role in the film as\nthe movie makeover that sees a merry band of rodents help cindera [ sic ] lla to make the perfect dress , eventually go to the ball and ultimately win the heart of a prince .\n[ 63 ] urltoken also included cinderella in its\nfavorite movie makeovers\nlist , accrediting the film and disney with\nfirst introducing us to the head - to - toe makeover ,\nconcluding ,\nunrealistic expectations are born .\n[ 64 ]\ngus and jaq , with help of the other mice , and , of course , the fairy godmother , set off to make a new book to narrate what happens after the ending of the previous story by stringing three segments of stories together , resulting in three individual stories :\naim to please\n,\ntall tail\n, and\nan uncommon romance\n. in the first story , cinderella and prince charming return home and a party begins shortly afterward . in the second story ,\ntall tail\n, cinderella works on planning to build up a festival . the mouse named jaq in the previous film has become a human named sir hugh . and in the third story ,\nan uncommon romance\n, cinderella helps her younger stepsister anastasia reconcile with the baker , even though her stepmother lady tremaine has forbidden it . near the end of the film , she reads the book that the mice made for her . [ 16 ]\nwould be better if it weren ' t for the weird pacing\u2014we ' re only two - thirds of the way through the film when cinderella tries the slipper on and is reunited with her prince . compared to the brisk pace with which the rest of the story has been told , the final wedding and dance scene feels like it was meant for a longer movie .\nthough it may be something of an inappropriate speculation , given dreyfus\u2019s jewish faith , there is something of the christian stations of the cross in the early dreyfus films . each illustrates the key stages in the victim\u2019s noble passage to the point where false justice is executed through a series of tableaux . in each the victim is noble , passive , and wronged . the narrative does not develop in a form that is understandable to anyone new to the story , but instead represents passages of suffering told through tableaux that the faithful will recognise as having special meaning . it is interesting that the main multi - scene film narratives made in the 1890s are the two l\u2019affaire dreyfus films , assorted lives of christ ( by lumi\u00e8re , path\u00e9 and others ) , and m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 cendrillion ( 1899 ) , or cinderella \u2013 another episodic tale of suffering and redemption .\nthe film\u2019s detailed synopsis indicates that this was a lavish and mostly faithful adaptation of the tale\u2014with another variation . here the prince ( t . j . carrigan ) , to avoid being forced into an arranged marriage , fled his father\u2019s castle in disguise , and he and cinderella met in the first reel , each unaware of the other\u2019s identity . this led to a plot complication later on , when cinderella was \u201cheartbroken\u201d to discover that her romantic ideal was the prince\u2014apparently under the impression that he had forgotten her in the meantime . needless to say , the two were reunited and all ended happily .\nhistory has shown a fond interest in the generational retelling of great stories , fables and fairy tales , and cinderella is just the next in a long - line of successful refreshes of classic tales . a quick search of previous cinderella movies leads to the conclusion that this refresh might be slightly different from most , as the imdb page alone credits over 100 previous attempts at retelling the story , or tailoring it to fit new audiences , or generations .\nin 1965 , the rodgers and hammerstein musical was again produced and released as a direct - to - television film , this time starring an 18 - year - old lesley ann warren in the leading role . this film was re - broadcast ( in color ) annually for the next 10 years .\nfor extensive background information on the dreyfus affair , the personalities and the issues involved , see the generally excellent dreyfus rehabiliated website . unfortunately its section on the films of the affair is muddled . for a concise and informative book acount , see eric cahm , the dreyfus affair in french society and politics . for an atmospheric eye - witness account of the second trial itself , read g . w . steevens\u2019 the tragedy of dreyfus ( 1899 ) , available from the internet archive .\nafter its musical adaptation , rodgers and hammerstein had their go at a remake ( their first of three ) in 1957 . this made - for - television film featured julie andrews as cinderella and was the most successful adaptation to date . the 1957 version boasted the largest audience in history ( at the time of its premiere ) with a total of 107 , 000 , 000 people having seen the film . to put that into perspective , that was a full 60 percent of the population in the united states at the time .\nlest we forget , walt disney himself produced a version of \u201ccinderella\u201d during the silent period\u2014although his version was , by definition , about as loose as an adaptation can get . this cinderella was one of the laugh - o - grams , the series of \u201cmodernized fairy tales\u201d that walt and his friends produced in kansas city at the very beginning of their animation careers . here the traditional tales were deliberately satirized and used as springboards for a series of contemporary jazz age gags , and cinderella was no exception . in fact , considering the playful satire of the young laugh - o - gram artists , it\u2019s surprising how much of the traditional romantic mood of the tale survives in this reel . as subsequent decades of cartoon production would reveal , something about the \u201ccinderella\u201d story beguiled the most mischievous cartoon - makers who set out to lampoon it . even that inveterate prankster tex avery indulged in a fleeting romantic interlude in his 1938 warner bros . short cinderella meets fella . in this laugh - o - gram version , walt and company interrupt their irreverent gags and non - sequitur puns long enough to allow cinderella and her prince a brief moonlit moment on the balcony , their silhouetted figures outlined against the night sky . it\u2019s a nice moment , achieved with the most basic of production resources\u2014modestly suggesting the charming fantasy worlds that walt would later create on the screen in the sound era ."]}

in a post - episode interview that aired in hbogo , david benioff placed great emphasis on daenerys , \u201can unarmed little woman , \u201d taking care of herself . she didn\u2019t have a dragon fly in to do her dirty work for her . but the bigger audience aside , does this really feel all that different from season 1 ?\nthis was my first gayle forman novel . i ' d been seeing her name pop up frequently , so when this became available on the library overdrive , i picked it up , not knowing much about it . hmm , talk about relating to a character - in this case , it almost felt like too much , especially since maribeth , the protagonist of this short novel , and i are of a similar vintage . there were many things i liked about this novel , besides its relatability . i appreciated forman daring to write about a mother -\nthe sain\n3 . 5 immensely readable and entirely easy to relate . how many times when all my seven children were growing up , when i was ferrying them back and forth to school , outside activities , trying to keep up with housework , cooking , laundry , did i feel like getting in my car and running away ?

if dany fails and re - focuses her attention on westeros , that means tyrion and varys failed as well . that\u2019s not the dynamic duo we came to know and love in season 2 . tyrion is a fool who can\u2019t speak the language this season and while that might be an effective way to undermine a white savior storyline , it\u2019s not the best use of peter dinklage .\ntvline | what has this past week been like in terms of the reaction from fans ?

\u201d the fan asked . \u201cprobably not , \u201d he replied . since daenerys freeing herself from the dothraki hasn\u2019t happened in the books yet , we have no way of knowing if martin plans to bend that fire - proofing rule .\nin the original planned series , daenerys killed khal drogo in order to get vengeance for her dead brother viserys . she fled from his faithful dothraki bloodriders into the wilderness , stumbled across a clutch of dragon eggs , and a \u201cyoung dragon will give daenerys the power to bend the dothraki to her will . then she begins to plan for her invasion of the seven kingdoms . \u201d she invades by the second book and is fighting ice zombies by the third . so , yes , all this slaver\u2019s bay stuff was never supposed to happen . if george had stuck to his plan , daenerys would be squaring off with the night\u2019s king instead of moping around meereen . and while that\u2019s probably still on the menu , we\u2019ll have to wait a few more seasons to get there .\ntvline | are you at all bummed that sweets and daisy reunited during the time jump ?

' there ' s too much music , ' they whined . that ' s because it ' s a film about gilbert & sullivan ' s music .\nthe most puzzling question about this film is - it ' s not clear who stole the story from whom . the film looks like a low budget clone of ' citizen ' . but , the powerful flashback that was seen in ' citizen ' doesn ' t exist in ' samurai ' even for formalities sake .\nkurosawa ultimately scrapped that story , and instead pitched the idea of a film that would cover a series of five samurai battles , based on the lives of famous japanese swordsmen . hashimoto went off to write that script , but kurosawa ultimately scrapped that idea as well , worrying that a film that was just \u201ca series of climaxes\u201d wouldn\u2019t work . then , producer s\u00f4jir\u00f4 motoki found , through historical research , that samurai in the \u201cwarring states\u201d period of japanese history would often volunteer to stand guard at peasant villages overnight in exchange for food and lodging . from that , kurosawa and hashimoto developed the idea of a group of samurai hired by peasants to protect them from bandits , and seven samurai was born .\nwhen kurosawa first set out to make a samurai film , he sat down with screenwriter shinobu hashimoto and outlined the idea of a \u201cday in the life\u201d story about a single samurai . the film would be an intimate portrayal of a warrior who got up in the morning , had his breakfast , went to work at his master\u2019s castle and then , after making a mistake , would be so disgraced that he would return home and commit ritual suicide .\nthe movie star is here to film mission impossible 6 in the remote rees valley , otago .\n, for the care with which zwick researched details of japanese culture for that film . trailers for\nthe filming of a song sequence for the film\nsamurai\ntook the cast all the way to exotic syria . amid hectic shooting schedules , lead player anita and director balaji found time to talk about their experiences . . .\n1 . originally , the film was going to be called \u201csix samurai\u201d although it\u2019s now the genre with which he\u2019s most associated , kurosawa had never made a samurai movie before this point . his original conception for the project was to follow the day in the life of a samurai , ending with the protagonist\u2019s suicide , but he wasn\u2019t confident enough in the level of research he\u2019d need to do . instead , he decided to adapt a story he\u2019d found about a group of samurai defending a village of farmers . the 500 - page first draft ( co - written with regular collaborators hideo oguni and shinobu hashimoto ) was titled \u201c six samurai , \u201d but on reflection , they found that having six responsible , sober samurai heroes was a little dry . as a result , they created the pretender samurai kikuchiyo , who\u2019s more empathetic and emotional , and cast toshiro mifune , who was originally going to play badass swordsman kyuzo ( later taken by seiji miyaguchi ) , in the new role , giving the actor free rein to improvise .\nwhile it might be a push to describe red sun as a samurai film per se , this oddball french -

and third - run theaters in the country . the film was re - edited for the venice film festival with the second half remaining mostly untouched , while the first was cut substantially , leading some to complain that the film was confusing , a charge that kurosawa agreed with . nevertheless , he still won the silver lion for best director . when taking it abroad , toho cut a full 50 minutes off , fearing it that it would be too long for u . s . audiences , and the longer version took a surprisingly long time to resurface . in 1991 , a 190 minute version was theatrically released in the u . k . , and a 203 - minute cut finally made it to the u . s . in 2002 . soon after , the criterion collection finally released the original cut on dvd , with a digitally - remastered version following in 2005 , and a blu -

leaning yamada \u2019s affable take on the samurai as low - ranking everyman , twilight samurai stems from a similar political standpoint as the director\u2019s earlier comedy dramas . its hero is a petty bureaucrat forced to react against the personal and wider historical circumstances he finds himself beset by in the twilight years of the feudal era preceding the meiji restoration of 1868 .\nk . b . madhu , who started his career as an independent director with chitrashalabham and then made deepasthambham mahaascharyam and then vinayapoorvam vidyaadharan , is all ready to do his fourth film . the film , to be produced by unni poonkunnam under the banner of krishnakripa films will have vijayaraghavan in the lead . jagathy too would be doing a major role . it is being said that a major star of malayalam cinema , whose name is yet to be disclosed , will also be doing a major role . to be scripted by suresh pothuval , the film will have lyrics by kaithapram and music by ouseppachchan . cinematography will be by tony and g . murali will do editing . the film will be shot mainly in kochi and ootty\nthe 90 minute film , the director of which is yet to be finalised , will also be released on the internet . and while on the topic , pentamedia , as well as\nis a big draw . mani ' s mimicry has brought the children there . but there is something beyond that . but it ' s nice to be wanted after this film .\na bit spanish , a bit north african , a bit weirdo , a bit holst , this is unlike the music you ' d expect in a film set in imperial rome .\nnoted film director , jayaraj has been conferred with this year ' s bharathan award for the best director , by the bharathan cinema academy . jayaraj has been selected for the award for his film\nkarunam\nbased on the ' navarasas ' . the award carries a citation , a sculpture and a cash prize of rs . 10 , 000 . kavya madhavan bagged the best debut actress for her excellent performance in the film ,\nchandranudhikkunna dikkil\n. the award comprises of a cash prize of rs . 5000 , a citation and a sculpture .\nlet\u2019s hope we\u2019ll see some of these missing milestones being released for home viewing in the future . for now , the new blu -

shifting of the story lines up well with les claypool\u2019s soundtrack contributions to make this trip to the wilds of boonville feel heterodoxical to most hillbilly inclusive horror romps . in my mind this makes it worth at least one pass through your dvd player , even if i still think i could write a better tagline .\nthe special youth and disabled hunt will be open in the safety zone above the p u\u2018u lani subdivision on weekends and state holidays for the month of august 2016 . only youth ( children who are 15 years of age or younger ) and disabled hunters may hunt in this area . only one adult licensed hunter may accompany each youth hunter and one licensed , non -

typical ram , and three ( 3 ) goats per hunter per day . this is also the season limit . deboning and skinning is allowed . the tail and genitalia of harvested animals must remain attached for species and sex identification purposes .\nthe makai muzzleloader season will take place during the three weekends following the archery season , and during any state holidays that occur during that time ( i . e . september 4 , 2017 ; labor day ) . the bag limit for this hunt is one ( 1 ) pig , one ( 1 ) non - typical ram , and three ( 3 ) goats per hunter per day . this is also the season limit . deboning and skinning is allowed . the tail and genitalia of harvested animals must remain attached for species and sex identification purposes .\ntejon ranch provides me the opportunity to teach my son how to hunt as my father taught me . from the initial shot , to caring for the meat in the field , to processing the meat at home , nothing beats wild protein .\nwhen john takes his friends to a remote ranch for wild pigs hunt , it seems like a typical guys weekend with guns - despite the presence of john ' s sexy girlfriend . but as john and his crew trek deeper into the forest , they learn of a legendary - murderous three - thousand - pound black boar ! their pursuit leads them into the muddy landscape of big wallow , involving violent and unpredictable rednecks , a machete - toting hippie stranger , and throat - slitting cult girls who grow marijuana by day and worship the giant killer pig by night .\nthe makai archery ( below mamalahoa highway ) season will take place during the first four consecutive weekends in august , and during any state holidays that occur during that time ( i . e . august 18 , 2017 ; statehood day ) . the bag limit for this hunt is one ( 1 ) pig , one ( 1 ) nontypical ram , and three ( 3 ) goats per hunter per day . this is also the season limit . deboning and skinning is allowed . the tail and genitalia of harvested animals must remain attached for species and sex identification purposes .\nthe makai archery ( below mamalahoa highway ) season will take place during the first four consecutive weekends in august , and during any state holidays that occur during that time ( i . e . august 19 , 2016 , statehood day ) . the bag limit for this hunt is one ( 1 ) pig , one ( 1 ) non - typical ram , and three ( 3 ) goats per hunter per day . this is also the season limit . deboning and skinning is allowed . the tail and genitalia of harvested animals must remain attached for species and sex identification purposes .\nholy sh * t - what a f * * * ing crazy flick ! pighunt is one of the few films i ' ve seen lately where i honestly did not know where it was going from one scene to the next . going into the film - i thought it was a mutant pig film , but then it turned into a rural action flick like deliverance & the hills have eyes . they all of a sudden , we had a wacky lesbian hippie cult that seemed right out of soft core euro porn from the seventies , and then all of a sudden the mutant pig makes his entrance - and it becomes a horror flick .\nbut\npig hunt\nhas several things going for it that lift it , if not out of its class , into the pretty - good - for - what - it - is category . director james isaac has visual flair and imagination , and he seems either to be working with a decent budget or to be making a little go a long way . the movie looks good . moreover , the script has the wit to play off the most familiar of northern california stereotypes , namely that everyone 100 miles north of san francisco is either a redneck or a hippie in the marijuana trade .\nnow before we get too far into assuming this is \u201cjust\u201d another killer pig movie , it\u2019s not . in fact the prolonged final appearance of the \u201cripper\u201d isn\u2019t revealed till the 3rd act which is a nice use of tension buildup . i was reminded of the 80\u2019s film , \u201cprophecy\u201d which travled down a similar path using monolithic beasts .\nhilo \u2014 the department of land and natural resources ( dlnr ) division of forestry and wildlife ( dofaw ) announces the opening of the hunting season in the pu\u2019u wa\u2019awa\u2019a forest reserve ( pww ) youth and disabled hunt and makai sections pursuant to title 13 , chapter 123 , \u201crules regulating game mammal hunting . \u201d\nentries are open now and close wednesday 1st june 2016 at 6pm approx 4 . 30 -

nude cult girls , assorted other human miscreants and a savage , 3 , 000 - pound flesheating boar right out of razorback . critic zack smith of urltoken calls\n9 . redbone \u2013 the redbone hound is a classic hunting dog used for years to track and tree wild game . famous in the book \u201cwhere the red fern grows\u201d , the redbone was used to hunt raccoons . redbones are very athletic dogs that are intelligent , with great noses to track down scents . redbones are considered bay dogs\nhunters will need to purchase 2017 goat and ram tags to legally hunt these species in these areas . tags may be purchased from any hawai\u2018i island division of forestry and wildlife office and at the pww hunter check station during the hunt . exact change of $ 10 / tag ( resident hunters ) and $ 25 / tag ( non - resident hunters ) is required when purchasing tags at the hunter check station . the harvest tags will be non - transferable and non - refundable and must be placed through the hind leg of the animal immediately after each kill , andremain tagged until the hunter checks out of the hunting area and arrives home or to their final destination .\nby now , ralph and piggy ( both rather ravenous ) are attending ( with all the other boys ) a big feast / party that jack ( decorated like an idol ) is throwing . it ' s all a frenzied reenactment of the pig hunt until simon , still bloody , sweaty , and covered in puke , stumbles down into the center of the crazed boys . he tries to tell them about the beast , but he is unrecognizable and the boys jab at him with their spears until he ' s dead . oops . simon ' s body is washed out to sea that night , and the wind carries off the body of the dead parachuting man , while ralph and piggy convince themselves they didn ' t take part in murdering simon .\nwhen john takes his friends to his deceased uncle ' s remote ranch to hunt wild pigs , it seems like a typical guys weekend . but as john and his crew trek deeper into the forest , they begin tracking the awful truth about his uncle ' s demise and the legend of the ripper - a murderous three - thousand - pound black boar !\nmuch of the film follows suite in the same way \u201cpredator\u201d did . with most of the film being set into the wilderness , director james isaac relies on tension and drama within the team who bicker , showoff and encounter alot of false alarms in their hunt for game . as the carcases stack up\u2026 . . the evidence begins to point to larger prey .\ngenerally , you have 2 sets of dogs that work as a team . they are the bay dog , and the catch dog . a bay dog can almost be any breed , so long as their tracking ability , and scent detection are superb enough to track a wild boar . these dogs are released to pick up the scent , follow , and locate the pig . as soon as they have located the wild boar , they will let out a distinctive howl or \u201cbay\u201d that alerts the hunter that they have a boar cornered and to release the \u201ccatch\u201d dog . the catch dog is the biggest , burliest dog you can find that has massive jaws capable of holding down a full size boar . their job is to meet up with the bay dogs , and take hold of the pig by the face or ear , and to hold it until the hunter can come and dispatch the pig , or tie it up . all dogs need to be trained on how to handle a wild boar , and need to all wear a cut vest to protect their vitals and neck . it is very dangerous work for the dogs , and the hunter needs to be trained in advanced first aide for dogs , including the use of needle and thread to sew up a dog that got to close .\nhunters that are not selected for the pww mauka ungulate control program , or those that were selected but are unable to hunt on their designated day , may stand - by on a first - come - first - serve basis as space is available in the hunting area . all hunters in the pww mauka ungulate control program will be limited to one ( 1 ) trip throughout the entirety of the program .\n11 . plott hound \u2013 although the north carolina state dog since 1989 , the plott hound is a little known breed by only the deep south , and big game hunters . plott\u2019s have been raised for generations to hunt wild boar , bear , and raccoons . they are extremely loyal to their master , and one of the best hunting companions . plott hounds are considered one of the very best bay dogs .\n\u201cpig hunt\u201d begins with a panicked hunter meeting a tusky end and quickly moves us onto a protagonist roll call . the group is a feckless phalanx of four weekend sportsmen : john , quincy , military reservist ben , and wayne . they are joined , to the chagrin of the ben and wayne by john\u2019s girlfriend brooks . this suv of fools leaves the cozy squats of san francisco for a boar hunting weekend on property owned by john\u2019s uncle ( who is the hunter we saw killed at the outset ) . quickly we learn that john has some demons in and around his ancestral hunting grounds . two of these demons come calling in the form of old redneck shooting friends jake and ricky . the crass and cantankerous duo forges an uneasy alliance with john\u2019s band of huntsmen in order to bag more boars , and with their inclusion the group morphs into a sort of continuum of testosterone that bears little chance of avoiding a violent dispute .\na good chunk of the running time is spent walking around in the woods hunting the big pig . there ' s also a blatant political subtext involving the iraq war that looms heavy during the first half ( beginning with the credits sequence ) , but disappears later in the picture . it ' s only when a fight breaks out resulting in the death of one of the deranged hillbillies that things pick up considerably . the rednecks pursue the hunters leading to a nicely done action set piece for an independent feature .\ncast is at least adequate to the genre . however , tina huang is a charismatic standout as brooks . whether firing off rounds or needling john\u2019s idiot friends , she is just what the doctor ordered for a bloody horror - actioner . she completely outshines the rest of the cast , including the bland travis aaron wade as the characterless john . also noteworthy is a small but effective cameo by blues mouth - harpist charlie musselwhite as the general store owner who issues the fateful warning about the big pig in the woods .\narriving at his late uncle\u2019s cabin , they discover it has been defaced with weird , menacing graffiti . also adding to their anxiety is the sudden arrival of two of john\u2019s former hick friends , who seem to harbor a lingering resentment against him . still , they seem to have a knack for finding game , so everyone heads out into the woods together . after all , what could go wrong ? besides encountering the legendary ripper , a three - thousand pound wild pig they were warned about in town , that is .\nwhen john takes his san francisco friends to his deceased uncle ' s remote ranch to hunt wild pigs , it seems like a typical guys weekend with guns - despite the presence of john ' s sexy girlfriend brooks . but as john and his crew trek deeper into the forest , they begin tracking the awful truth about his uncle ' s demise and the legend of the ripper - - a murderous three - thousand - pound black boar !\nonly one adult licensed hunter may accompany each youth hunter and one licensed , non - hunting assistant may accompany each disabled hunter . the bag limit for this hunt is three ( 3 ) nontypical rams and one ( 1 ) typical ram per hunter per day . this is also the season limit ( see table 1 ) . deboning and skinning is allowed . skull with attached horns must remain intact and genitals must remain attached to the carcass .\n12 . dogo argentino \u2013 one of the most feared catch dogs to wild pigs is this not so famous \u201cbully breed\u201d\u2026 . the dogo argentino . with its massive jaws and muscular body , this breed is highly capable of taking down a full size wild boar . the dogo argentino makes an excellent guard dog , and will protect his master to the death . this dog was bred to hunt big game in argentina , specifically cougars and wild boar .\nhistory \u2013 hunting with dogs is a tradition in our history since the birth of our great country . dogs were considered a working animal first , that helped provide food to the settlers , protect their livestock , as well as protecting their families . while hunting , dogs were used and trained to track wildlife , as well as protection from bears and cougars in the wilderness . they are truly mans best friend , and to most wild hog hunters , are essential to a successful hunt .\n13 . rhodesian ridgeback \u2013 bred and originated out if south africa , the rhodesian ridgeback was used to hunt lions , and distract them while the hunter took their shot . the ridgeback has a long strip of fur that runs the other way on its back creating its ridge . they are very good at tracking wild pigs , as they are highly intelligent . while training ridgebacks , keep in mind that they can not be roughly treated for correction . the rhodesian ridgeback is considered a bay dog .\nhilo \u2014 the department of land and natural resources ( dlnr ) division of forestry and wildlife ( dofaw ) announces the opening of the hunting season in the pu\u2018u wa\u2018awa\u2018a forest reserve ( pww ) youth and disabled hunt and makai sections pursuant to title 13 , chapter 123 , \u201crules regulating game mammal hunting . \u201d dlnr - dofaw also announces a special ungulate control program for the pww mauka section pursuant to title 13 , chapter 123 , \u201crules regulating game mammal hunting , \u201d \u00a713 - 123 - 9 .\nright about this time a dead man attached to a parachute blows in mary - poppins - style to the island . the mysterious parachuting creature is mistaken for the beast , and the boys begin a massive hunt to kill it . only simon ( and , let ' s face it , the audience ) is skeptical , believing instead they ' re really just afraid of themselves . he goes off into the woods to contemplate the situation while jack and ralph ascend the mountain and find the beast\u2014but don ' t stick around long enough to see that it is in fact only a dead man .\nay much to reveal the ripper turns out to be quite real and very much worthy of his name . needless to say things go very bad , very fast . isaac builds the tension quite effectively , leaving clues that there may well be more threats out there than just the killer hog . as is usually the case in horror films , the less the audience actually sees of the ripper , the scarier he is . unfortunately , the periodic attempts to draw an analogy between the hunt for the ripper and the war in iraq are clumsy , ill - conceived distractions from the gory business at hand .\njohn ( travis aaron wade ) , his sexy girlfriend brooks ( tina huang ) , and a bunch of his san francisco buddies take a trip to his deceased uncle ' s remote cabin to hunt wild boar & deer . they end up hooking up with john ' s childhood buddies - the unpredictable tibbs brothers . soon - things come to a head , and john & his crew end up being hunting by a bunch of murderous hunters who look like they drove out of the road warriors . to make matters worse - they also have to contend with a hippie cult , and a three thousand pound mutant boar dubbed the ripper .\nthe pww mauka ungulate control program ( above mamalahoa highway ) , will be a non - typical ram and feral goat hunt , and will take place concurrently with the makai muzzleloader season ( during the three consecutive weekends following the makai archery season , including state holidays ) . the bag limit will be one ( 1 ) non - typical ram and two ( 2 ) goats ( either sex ) per hunter per day . this will also be a season limit . during this program the whole carcasses ( entrails can be cleaned but with attached genitalia on carcass ) need to be inspected at checkout . for safety purposes , a maximum of 30 permittees will be allowed per day .\naction horror . starring travis aaron wade and tina huang . directed by james isaac .

( mensch is a yiddish word that means \u201ca person of integrity . \u201d ) the film provides disarmingly forthcoming interviews with gordon himself , as well as a parade of celebrities including tom arnold , michael douglas and sylvester stallone , who line up to sing his praises ( although douglas does joke that gordon can be a motherf\u2014 - at times ) . sure , it is a fun romp through a thrilling era of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll alongside one of the biggest bands of the time . but at its core , supermensch is an ode to friendship , a sober reflection on what happens when the party is over and , more than anything , a think piece on what is really important in life .\nso what has the 50 - year - old been up to , exactly ? apparently preparing for his directorial debut . on monday , a & e ; indiefilms said it had partnered with myers on\nsupermensch ,\na documentary about talent manager shep gordon .\ntoronto \u2013 making his debut as a documentarian with a subject obviously close to his heart , mike myers plants a sloppy kiss on an entertainment industry maverick whose management savvy boosted the careers of an eclectic range of artists in supermensch : the legend of shep gordon . as the title suggests , this lively portrait is as much about the subject\u2019s humanity as his skill at making deals or shaping careers . that duality explains how the same guy who sent a live chicken to its death onstage at an alice cooper concert can also end up brewing tibetan yak butter tea for the dalai lama .\nsupermensch has been on our radar for a long time and we were blown away by it in toronto .\nthe amazing , incredible , unlikely - but - true story of the man who ' s done everything , been everywhere , and was at seemingly every important moment in musical and culinary history . he ' s a one - man history of cool . and through it all , he ' s somehow managed to remain a mensch . shep gordon is a legend .\n\u2013anthony bourdain\nthis documentary portrait by mike myers ( of wayne ' s world and austen powers fame ) of his friend shep gordon comes close to hagiography but is just about saved by great anecdotes , stylistic inventiveness and the low - key charm of the man himself .\ngordon also partnered with ellman to open maui tacos and mala wailea . currently , the pair is working on what gordon calls the \u201cnext wave\u201d of hrc with the launch of migrant at the wailea beach marriott , headed by chef sheldon simeon ( of top chef fame ) . while the hrc of the 1990s relied primarily on european tastes , gordon feels the next wave will offer a wider range of influences .\nit helps immensely that shep gordon himself is a witty , warm and genial character with a wealth of stories ( the truth of some he even doubts himself sometimes ) and a roster of a - list showbiz friends . he also clearly has a great relationship with myers , who he met in 1991 when negotiating to use a song by alice cooper \u2013 one of gordon\u2019s first clients \u2013 in wayne\u2019s world . years later a depressed myers asked gordon if he could stay at gordon\u2019s house in maui for a few days , and ended up staying for two months and being looked after by gordon . the terms \u2018supermensch\u2019 comes very much from gordon\u2019s sense of generosity and kindness .\nmike myers ' documentary debut supermensch is a flawed and unsatisfying biography about entertainment mogul shep gordon , whose astonishing career spans the music , movie , and food businesses . gordon was directly involved , on a grassroots level , in the success of such diverse pop -

( c ) radius\nmost of the buzz around this documentary comes from its director : mike myers . out of the spotlight for many years ( following several box office bombs ) myers has turned his energy to the world of directing , and in particular to a giant in the industry : shep gordon . a man who has managed everyone from alice cooper to emerill lagasse , this famous manager has a buttload of stories , and is finally given a way to tell them . read more at urltoken\nhe\u2019s been grappling with early signs of becoming recognizable : recently , on his way to an interview in new york , he was approached by a woman who said she had seen supermensch . she had a question for gordon she hoped he could help her out with . gordon cut her off . he had to go . he was late for his interview .\nthat supermensch has its origins in that type of closeness makes sense in the no - holds - barred type of stories that gordon shares . tales about dealing pot at landmark hotel . creating a traffic jam just to show off a giant poster of a mostly naked alice cooper . the truth behind cooper\u2019s infamous \u201cchicken incident . \u201d gordon , now in his late 60s , is open about expressing the potential consequences of maintaining the exploits of a freewheeling lifestyle paired with a propensity to work all the time . he bares all in his desire for a family , for a child , for something that will mean he won\u2019t wake up from surgery alone in a hospital room .\ngordon is never less than honest when talking about his relationships , boozing , drug taking , though the film gets it real sense of depth and warmth when he talks about the more compassionate side of his life .\nthe stories are great . . . the kind of crazy hollywood tales that could ' ve only happened in the ' 70s .\ncelebrated snl alumnus and austin powers star mike myers steps behind the camera for this documentary examining the life and legacy of beloved hollywood insider shep gordon . a music manager whose chance run - in with jimi hendrix and janis joplin back in 1968 led to an enduring career as a manager for the likes of alice cooper , blondie , and raquel welch , gordon later reinvigorated the culinary - arts industry as the driving force behind the concept of a\ncelebrity chef .\nin addition to exploring those aspects of gordon ' s impressively multifaceted career , myers ' film also reveals how his subject ' s involvement with the tibet fund led to a close friendship with the dalai lama as a host of celebrities , including sylvester stallone , emeril lagasse , willie nelson , michael douglas , and cooper , reflect on the man who helped to build countless careers in the entertainment industry .\nevidence surfaces throughout the film of gordon\u2019s compassion and personal integrity . this is underscored by his eventual fatigue with the \u201cwhat you are , not who you are\u201d aspect of los angeles culture . there\u2019s a sad irony in the fact that after working most of his life to increase the fame of his clients , he comes to reject fame as something fundamentally unhealthy .\nmyers had wanted to make a film about him for years , but gordon always declined the request . then , in 2012 , gordon was in the hospital recovering from surgery , unsure if he was going to live or die . when myers called him to check in , gordon agreed to the idea of a documentary : \u201ci don\u2019t really know ( why ) , but instead of \u2018no\u2019 coming out of my mouth , \u2018yes\u2019 came out . \u201d\n\u201ci have been on the road for 10 weeks . i haven\u2019t been home since then , \u201d gordon says over the phone from l . a . \u201chome\u201d these days for gordon is largely kihei , maui , where he has had a house since the 1970s . he has been touring with supermensch , hitting the film festival circuit for screenings in san francisco , london , austin and a blur of other cities . it was released last week in new york and l . a . and played june 4 at the maui film festival , where gordon was recognized with the event\u2019s maverick award . it is tentatively scheduled to play at kahala theatre starting july 2 . supermensch has been garnering a generally favorable critical reception , and gordon is happy it\u2019s doing so well . still , he\u2019s looking forward to his next stint at home on maui , which will be just a few days before he takes off again to promote the film .\ngordon , seemingly as likable a prolific wheeler - dealer as you\u2019re ever likely to encounter , rose from abject stoned hippiedom to starmaker at the end of the age of aquarius . chance meetings with hendrix and joplin led to an introduction to rock rotters alice cooper ( the group ) and a verbal contract between gordon and that band\u2019s eponymous singer . a kind of innate showbiz acumen leads gordon to great innovations on his client\u2019s behalf ( he was the guy who planted the live chicken on stage at the infamous alice cooper gig that got the artist tagged as a poultry slayer ) , and by the 40 - minute mark of the movie he\u2019s working the same magic for anne murray and teddy pendergrass . director myers is pretty deft at getting his aforementioned talking heads , which range from stallone to legase to the personal attach\u00e9 to the dalai lama , to make sense of gordon\u2019s eclecticism .\n\u201cthere are certain moments in your life where your instincts sharpen and tell you what to do , \u201d cooper says . \u201cwhen i met shep , i knew he was one of us . \u201d\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nnow , thrust into the spotlight for the first time , gordon is becoming a star in his own right . what will that mean ?\nif gordon has been on the sidelines of the spotlight , it\u2019s because he prefers it that way . for all of those years he spent making people famous , gordon remains surprisingly skeptical , if not downright critical , of fame itself . early in supermensch , he shares a warning he would give prospective clients before taking them on : \u201cif i do my job perfectly , i will probably kill you . \u201d when i ask him about this later , he elaborates : \u201ci will make them very famous , and fame kills . \u201d\nthis tribute to legendary jazz drummer buddy rich -

day branding , for better or worse . the movie\u2019s nutritional value , documentary wise , is pretty dubious in other respects , though ; youngsters watching this are likely to come away with the impression that alice cooper was always a solo act rather than the front man of a band , none of the other members of which make an appearance here .\ngordon said that the film triggered \u201ca wide range of emotions\u201d for him : while he was humbled by all of the kind commentary , it was tough for him to talk about his mother , and awkward to discuss the value of his maui home . he also clarified , \u201cit\u2019s mike\u2019s story of me \u2013 and it\u2019s sort of a love story , so none of the blemishes are really there , \u201d noting that he had a card added at the end for his early manager partner joe greenberg and that douglas was the key hollywood boldface in launching the celebrity chef category , after gordon fell in love with cooking due to a meal from roger verge . \u201cone of the things i wanted to mention tonight is in this movie , i get credit for everything , but everything i get credit for was part of a team effort . \u201d\nnew boss warns staff of challenges ahead as cable channel looks to boost viewers\u2019 \u2019hours of engagement\u2019 .\nshep gordon has managed many huge acts , first in the music business , and then in other areas ranging from film to cooking . he has also befriended just about every heavyweight in hollywood . and yet it seems he ' s managed to do so while still being a good guy , a nice guy , an honorable guy . there are on camera interviews with alice cooper ( who was shep ' s 1st client , and who he has managed for 45 years ! ) , mick fleetwood , michael douglas , tom arnold , emeril lagasse , anne murray , mike meyers , willie nelson , sylvester stallone and steven tyer . but the best interview subject is shep himself , who has tremendously entertaining , often funny and occasionally tragic anecdotes about his many years in show business . among the most interesting are the various clever , and sometimes amusingly devious ways shep would raise his clients ' public profiles and help make them stars . there ' s a genuine wisdom and even a spiritual side to shep , who befriended the dali llama , and spent a week cooking for him as a way of giving back . ultimately shep realized , sadly late in the game , that there was more to life than work , and that he was missing out on having kids and a family . not a ' change your life ' film , but it ' s always engaging , like listening to the most fun and intelligent guest at a great party .\n\u201ci think the more i would\u2019ve known , the more scared i would\u2019ve been to make the journey - - not knowing was a huge advantage , for what i ended up doing , \u201d gordon told the hollywood reporter of his career , upon arriving at new york city\u2019s sva theatre on saturday for the tribeca film festival screening of supermensch , adding that \u201cit\u2019s bizarre\u201d how the cameras are focused on him for once . for those stepping into the manager role today , he advised , \u201cdon\u2019t chase fame for the sake of fame . work really hard , and if you get famous from how well you do your craft , it\u2019s a burden that\u2019s worth taking on . but if all you care about is fame , then you\u2019ll destroy it . \u201d\nmike myers makes his directorial debut by chronicling the fascinating life of one of hollywood ' s most fabled raconteurs and charismatic talent managers .\nthe film , which premiered at toronto screened again recently at the miami international film festival , is a pacy , funny romp through a very individual life . shep gordon is a rare man who thrives on a challenge , has an innate warm humanity and a glorious mass of contradictions . an easy watch and packed with great anecdotes , it is a film that would work well in formal distribution along with the film festival circuit .\nso what is the retired gordon up to lately ? \u201ci\u2019m on the harvey weinstein rat wheel of festivals and questions and interviews ! but i\u2019m living in maui and cooking a lot , trying to be happy . \u201d\nscreen international is the essential resource for the international film industry . subscribe now for monthly editions , awards season weeklies , access to the screen international archive and supplements including stars of tomorrow and world of locations .\nif the film is often pure hagiography , it ' s rescued by the huge charm of its subject , whose present -

pleaser at festivals . at each premiere , people come up to gordon and tell him that the film has inspired them to be more giving in their own lives . one couple at the sun valley film festival , for example , told him that it reminded them to be more generous . and they wanted to start with him . they gifted him some fresh elk , which made delicious elk sausage the next morning .\ncutting from outrageous performance moments to the aging rock icon in a polo shirt , sitting on a boat with gordon or sauntering around the golf course together , yields some gentle laughs , with cooper clearly in on the joke .\nnow considered one of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time , smokin ' joe frazier ( 1944 - 2011 ) lived a truly remarkable life . though he was born into the most disadvantageous of circumstances , surrounded by poverty in the pre - civil rights era south , frazier . . .\nthe scale of that disappointment is impossible for me describe here , even if i had time .\ngordon laughs a lot , and his famous pals relate memories of him fondly . we\u2019re told he tells great stories\u2026and from what\u2019s seen in the trailer , it\u2019s hard to imagine otherwise . take a look :\ngordon was instrumental in busting teddy pendergrass out of dreary suits and into sexier attire as he was molded into \u201cthe black elvis , \u201d playing women - only concerts . one of the most emotional clips here shows pendergrass\u2019 return to the stage at the historic 1985 live aid concert in philadelphia , three years after an auto accident had left him a paraplegic . less time is spent on luther vandross , another r & b vocalist who rose to superstardom during his association with gordon , but took it personally when his manager quit the business .\ntwo other\nbroken men\nare the focus of first -

month season , hunters can earn thousands . dosa , who had learned about chemult as a graduate student in cultural anthropology , followed several hunters during the season , but ultimately concentrated on two : roger higgins , a vietnam veteran who suffers from ptsd , and kouy loch , a cambodian refugee who survived the horrors of the khmer rouge . how the two men bonded over their shared experiences is at the core of\na search for healing , meaning and family in the wake of profound violence ,\ndosa wrote in the festival ' s blog . fittingly , the last season had its world premiere at the festival , where dosa worked before leaving to make the film .\nwhile the film could easily slide into more melancholic territory , it\u2019s myers\u2019 comedic instinct , and moreover gordon himself , who keeps it from going there .\ngordon stumbled into music management when he checked into the hollywood landmark motor hotel and was decked by janis joplin and got some early advice from jimi hendrix . an early client was alice cooper\u2026though the challenge was finding a way to break his unique stage show of sex and violence . strategic use of a chicken in one act \u2013 thrown onto stage by gordon claims cooper \u2013 led to headlines and serious bookings for cooper .\ngordon is never less than honest when talking about his relationships , boozing , drug taking , though the film gets it real sense of depth and warmth when he talks about the more compassionate side of his life . he became the de - facto family to four orphaned children - grandchildren of a former girlfriend - whose upbringing he financed after their mother died ; moved to maui where he developed a famous open - house lifestyle and developed a spiritual sense of life and still continues to yearn to have a child of his own .\n\u201ci do , \u201d he said . \u201cbut it\u2019s mike\u2019s vision of me , more than my vision of me . \u201d\nprofiling author laura albert , who found success publishing stories under the guise of a transgender . . .\nfrom jody shapiro ' s burt ' s buzz . courtesy of swstudio and the san francisco film society\nyou may relish the gossipy , dishy stuff myers serves up . for a while , you can feel like a part of the golden circle .\nmyers recaps gordon\u2019s entry into chef management . this was undertaken more out of an interest in the culinary arts and as a favor to friends in a then - underappreciated field than as a moneymaking venture . but with emeril lagasse as his breakthrough client , he helped usher in the era of celebrity chefs on television .\nshep gordon - - in his storied career as a talent manager , agent , and producer - - has worked with , and befriended , some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry , from alice cooper to bette davis , raquel welch to groucho marx , blondie to jimi hendrix , sylvester stallone to salvador dal\u00ed , luther vandross to teddy pendergrass . he is also credited with inventing the \u201ccelebrity chef , \u201d and has worked with nobu matsuhisa , emeril lagasse , wolfgang puck , roger verg\u00e9 , and many others .\nlocally , alongside moffatt , gordon has produced concerts including ub40 , the who , aerosmith and willie nelson . but perhaps his most visible and lasting contribution to hawaii has been his work with local chefs in creating the hawaii regional cuisine movement . gordon , who has been to culinary school and often traveled with renowned chef roger verge , had been cultivating the concept of celebrity chefs \u2014 and wanted hawaii to also benefit from that .\nhe had checked into the landmark motor hotel without knowing that it was a low - key gathering place for the rock elite . gordon was relaxing in his room when he heard what he thought were sounds of distress by the pool . he ran down there and attempted to save joplin , whom he thought was being attacked . he was just trying to help . only joplin wasn\u2019t being attacked . she was having sex , and gordon broke up the action . so she hit him .\nthe movie is like sitting at a restaurant with a guy who\u2019s got some of the best stories you\u2019ve heard in your life\u2014provided , that is , that you\u2019re into stories about showbiz . gordon , it can never be said enough , has met and / or done business with anyone who was ever anyone , and in some peculiar ways\u2014he and cary grant had a joint custody arrangement concerning a housecat . gordon\u2019s genius at showmanship\u2014among other things , he pioneered the\nfor ladies only\nconcerts that shot r & b love man pendergrass\u2019 career into the stratosphere\u2014is , per this portrait , matched only by his menschiness . gordon , who has a distinct speaking style and infectious laugh , speaks of his philosophy of\ncompassionate business\nas he recounts , with confidence but some modesty , how he put the business affairs of groucho marx in order . the recounting of some literally astonishing acts of generosity makes you like the guy quite a bit , in spite of his having sported a\nno head , no backstage pass\nt - shirt for a good portion of his drug - fueled \u201870s heyday . ( and while his taste in music was all over the map , his accomplishments as a movie co - producer were refreshingly daring ; he had a hand in bringing such pictures as\nkoyaanisqatsi\nand\nkiss of the spider woman\ninto theaters . )\n\u201ci just try to have winners and winners , \u201d gordon says . \u201ci try to do an extra little bit of work to make sure that everybody sort of wins , and there is not a winner and a loser . you can\u2019t do it all the time , but i try . \u201d\ngordon\u2019s involvement in movies is touched in cursory fashion and seems marginal compared to his influence in music . but the whirl of hollywood celebrities in his orbit is well documented . effusive testimonials to his qualities as a wildly unconventional character , a generous host and loyal friend come from michael douglas , sylvester stallone and tom arnold , among others . ( sharon stone , whom gordon dated for a couple of years in the early ' 90s , is a no - show . )\neven when it comes to the paparazzi . he\u2019ll often try to strike a deal with them : they can take their photo , the star gets to choose it , and he gets a cut of the money that he donates to the maui food bank .\n\u201ci had no real reason to be in the spotlight , \u201d gordon says . \u201cand there is nothing i find attractive about it \u2026 i enjoy having my anonymity . \u201d\nboth those anecdotes are shared on - camera , and the loquacious gordon is an inveterate raconteur whose interviews benefit from his warm rapport with myers . the two met in 1991 while negotiating the use of a song by cooper in wayne\u2019s world . myers reveals that when he fell into a funk some time after , he asked to go stay a few days at gordon\u2019s house on maui ; he ended up being cared for there by his friend for two months ."]}

( jaimie trueblood / universal pictures )\nthis feels like the new york city of right now , where brooklynites deal with gentrification as best they can , trying to stay true to their roots while admitting that artisan coffee shops and yoga spots aren\u2019t all that bad . not unlike justin simien\u2019s superb dear white people ( which premiered at sundance in 2014 ) , douchebag seems to speak to a continually - budding generation of twitter - philes that are equal parts socially - aware and self - obsessed . ray falls decidedly into the latter category , too often coming off too much like , well , a douchebag with little in the redemption department .\ndirector carmen marron says that financing her first movie \u201cwas hell . \u201d granted , she was a high school guidance counselor with no actual film background . \u201cmy own mother wouldn\u2019t even give me financing , \u201d she says .\nthe film , which includes robert de niro , edgar ramirez and ruben blades , is part of a group of limited release films . , it will not be in as many cinema complexes in north america as others like\nfor much of its 79 minutes , tahir jetter \u2018s how to tell you\u2019re a douchebag feels like the type of raw , diy and impressive indie picture that barely stands a chance of getting in to the 2016 model of the sundance film festival . if that sounds like a back - handed compliment , that\u2019s more - or - less the intention . after all , it is a talky rom - com set in new york with no recognizable faces , no real visuals to showcase or even edgy subject matter to mine through .\nat the time of writing , warcraft holds a freshness rating of 22 % on film review aggregator rotten tomatoes based on eighteen reviews , and 37 % on metacritic based on eleven . excerpts from some of these reviews read :\ni know some people are going to hate it , \u201d he says of douchebag .\nbut if you add up the amount of people who will see it at sundance , more people will have eventually seen it than any of my other films . not enough people saw spooner to hate it . \u201d\nstarts with a scene that actually takes place in the middle of the film ; it has a voiceover narration , shows men living a life of excess and as well as having a subplot involving the main character ' s troubled relationship .\nsausage party is the exception . sausage party is dumb and pointless and i hated it , although i am \u2014 to be fair \u2014 in the minority among critics who have delighted in what is the first r -

but the real david packouz has a cameo , so he probably wouldn ' t have wanted to get involved with a film that portrayed him so poorly .\nsimilar struggles abound , as many filmmakers of color are dealing with the typical headaches of being a newbie filmmaker . first -

4 minutes later i would still be looking at the same shot . really ? it was supposed to be a comedy too , which made it even worse .\nbing bar . park city , utah . friday , jan . 22 , 7 p . m . snow flurries have fallen all day on this former mining town . it\u2019s pretty to look at\u2014from inside a toasty room . thankfully for sun -

- as a result , we don ' t flinch when the brothers seem to be enjoying each other ' s company and don ' t find it impossible to believe when the script grants sam some abrupt insights . in the end , the douchebag isn ' t the star of the show , but he ' s an essential part of making it work .\nthe premise of trying to find a fifth - grade sweetheart , although outlandish , has potential . the idea of two brothers taking a road trip in search of a childhood crush could have made for some hilarious moments . but the film fails to deliver .\nto that end , a new category called next was added for 2010 , reserved for indie films \u201cstretching a low budget to create big art . \u201d doremus ( pronounced dor -

unknown precious .\nahir jetter\u2019s first feature opens with one hell of a gambit . this funny relationship film ( i hesitate to call it a rom com ) starts with some postcard shots of new york city , just like woody allen\u2019s masterpiece manhattan . but this isn\u2019t in black and white and even out - of - towners will recognize that these aren\u2019t the usual landmarks . how to tell you\u2019re a douchebag ( yes , that\u2019s the actual title , unfortunately ) is 100 % brooklyn , but it doesn\u2019t make a big showing of it , shouting \u201crepresent ! \u201d or \u201c718 ! \u201d or anything like that . brooklyn is just the borough where the filmmakers of the next generation live .\nwhilst albania was filmed with a drab , grey look [ how hollywood generally sees eastern europe ] . an action set - piece where david and efraim try to smuggle guns into iraq could have fitted in a bay film if it had more explosions . despite being marketed as a comedy\ncharles brice plays ray livingston , a freelance writer trying to attract attention with a blog , occasionally dating black women , whose self - pitying tone doesn ' t jibe with the cavalier way he treats the women he takes to bed . he ' s a douchebag , all right , no matter how much he claims to be looking for love and blames his emotional unavailability on new york city .\nit kind of does , in theory . and maybe it will be for you . i thought it was moronic . and often offensive . for instance , the villain in the movie is a douchebag \u2014 a literal douchebag \u2014 filled with vodka that tries to flex its muscles and drunkenly rape a hot - dog bun . but it\u2019s comedy , right , so it\u2019s \u2026 ok ? and there\u2019s a lot of ugly racial stereotypes , but it\u2019s only hot dogs , and cans of beans , and a gay twinkie and firewater \u2014 which is obviously a native american stereotype \u2014 so we shouldn\u2019t take offense , right ? well , why not ? because if the \u201cfirewater\u201d were played by an actual native american , or if a live - action craig robinson was playing an actual african - american stereotype banging the \u201ccrackers\u201d that wouldn\u2019t be ok .\nthe 26 - year - old filmmaker squints as he tries to make out the people filling nearly all 608 seats of the temporary cinema space . he asks douchebag cast and crew members to join him up front for audience questions . eight people who have worked on the quirky slacker dramedy off and on for two years\u2014and who also managed to make it to park city\u2014surround their director . the remaining two crew members are back home .\nthe romantic leads are both writers . language is very specific in the film , particularly when one of ray\u2019s ladies asks him \u201chow do you feel about me , \u201d which he understands as \u201cwhat do you think about me . \u201d can you talk about how you used words so precisely ? rochelle is particularly verbal .\nwhile editing spooner , doremus had told dickler he was too funny not to be in a movie . to the amazement of doremus , dickler went for it . somewhere along the way , the director got the idea of playing the strong - willed editor off his mellower friend jones . a 30 - page outline for what would become douchebag was shot with the newbie actors . jones and dickler supplied all the dialogue as it came to them .\ncontrary to their name , slow motions are often anything but slow . they are generally characterized by short , jerky movements . when done properly , they often appear erratic and involuntary . achieving this seemingly spasmodic display takes years of practice , the difficulty of which is often underappreciated . rather than coming off as slow , individuals untrained in these motions usually just look like a giant knobber . the description\ndouchebag\nhas also been used by others .\ni\u2019ll be nervous friday night , \u201d doremus says .\nit\u2019ll be the first time anyone has seen it . the la times will be there . it\u2019s so nerve - wracking . it\u2019s not like slamdance , where you\u2019re showing the film to 100 people . this is the biggest stage for movies in the world besides cannes . \u201d\nalthough director / co - writer drake doremus cues us initially to view tom as the eponymous douchebag - - he ' s an adult sponging off his parents and makes excuses so lame they hardly merit the name when first invited to the wedding - - actor ben york jones doesn ' t let us harbor that illusion for long . moist - eyed and vulnerable , jones projects an endearing willingness to reconcile with his brother even though he clearly fears some kind of mistreatment .\nif tv looks far more diverse today than film , it\u2019s due in large part to the work of nogales and his colleagues . in 2000 , they forced the networks to sign memorandums of understanding saying they are committed to diversity . since then , the networks have counted the number of minorities they hire and have created various diversity - pipeline programs .\nwhile the film isn ' t scheduled to be released in north america until june 10th , the long awaited warcraft already started to roll out internationally earlier this week . the movie adaptation of blizzard entertainment ' s hit gaming franchise of the same name was first announced a whole decade ago as a collaboration between the developer and media company legendary pictures .\nwritten and directed by jetter and based off of his blog \u2018occasionally dating black women , \u2019 douchebag tells the story of womanizing blogger ray livingston ( charles brice ) and the comeuppance he receives at the hands of quasi - famous internet writer rochelle marseilles ( dewanda wise ) . filled with self - reflective voice - over and extended musings on things like cat - calling and its virtues or the expectations following a hook - up , jetter establishes an insightful - if - familiar aesthetic .\n\u201ci dreamed that someday i\u2019d have a film playing in this room , \u201d he says , still amazed at what a short , strange trip it has been . he had no idea in january 2009 that his \u201cvery personal\u201d picture\u2014shot in 20 days with a minuscule budget , unknown lead actors and a tiny crew\u2014would fulfill his dream a mere 12 months later .\nbut , for the next two years , jones co - directed music videos in la with fellow chapman alum joseph armario under the pseudonym jurassic technology . jones did perform a small walk - on part in spooner , and while that film was being edited , doremus called to say there was a guy he had to meet : spooner \u2019s editor , dickler .\nand where young people live they fall in love , or at least try to fall in love , and how to tell you\u2019re a douchebag tells the tale of aspiring writer ray ( charles brice ) eventually realizing that maybe his womanizing ways won\u2019t lead to happiness . he discovers this when he first hollers at rochelle ( dewanda wise ) while trying to impress his buddy jake ( william jackson harper ) . little does he know that rochelle is a powerful woman in media and more than a match for his wits .\nthere was just one problem : after about half the film had been shot , jones suffered what he called a\nmini midlife crisis\u201d and retreated to albuquerque , new mexico . the official reason was to learn carpentry from his father , but the more he talks about it , the more it is obvious he needed to find himself after he discovered he hated directing music videos .\ndoremus recalls that 10 years ago , in this very same room , he and jones hosted a screening of the bum .\nwe projected it onto a big screen , and we had 70 folding chairs set up , \u201d doremus says . once the lights came up at the end , the teens solicited donations from friends and family members for the just for laughs film festival entry fees .\nthat was more of a troll question meant to suggest ray is a douchebag . he\u2019s mocking rochelle in a way that even he doesn\u2019t believe , but he\u2019s confident that he can get a rise out of her in that scene . it speaks to how black men get on black women\u2019s nerves . we can see how black women bring up causes , and black men will troll them for it . that scene is a representation of that tug - of - war that we experience . we are our privilege to a certain extent . ray is aware that he\u2019s good looking , a ladies\u2019 man , and well - spoken , but that\u2019s his charm to a fault . i wanted to see the paradigm of this man not getting what he wants , what that means and feels like , but in a larger sense , the film is about how everyone doesn\u2019t get what they want in the modern dating milieu . sometimes things don\u2019t go your way .\nwe had ridiculous expectations , \u201d jones says .\nwe thought we were going to make a 90 - minute feature film . . . . we pieced it together into an hour version , and then a 13 - minute version . we showed it to people for fun . it was our first foray into filmmaking together . it\u2019s the first time we made something together and realized people liked it . \u201d\ndespite being directed by duncan jones and having a cgi budget seemingly the size of a small country ' s gdp , warcraft the movie never quite manages to come together as enjoyable . while fans of the franchise can most likely derive some satisfaction out of seeing the faithfully recreated video game settings , the wooden acting , breakneck pacing and excessive amounts of fantasy jibber - jabber mostly renders the film nonsensical to everyone else .\nthe film was trying to start a conversation on male masculinity , feminism , our current technology , and blogging , yet while there were many points made about the subjects , i left wishing they delved more deeply on the critiques . the funny thing about their biggest critique , which was on our current state of technology ( especially blogging ) , is that the characters the filmmakers decided to focus on were at extremes . everyone sounded like\u2026\nthis movie is real . these situations are real . street harassment is real , entitlement is real , people get possessive and demanding even with new relationships and encounters . they get petty and when things don ' t go their way they cross boundaries . this happens all the time and this film isn ' t here to preach about it , it ' s just telling a satisfying story about how people can grow and learn and better themselves .\na womanizing blogger gets put in his place in how to tell you ' re a douchebag , tahir jetter ' s feature debut . not funny enough to call a rom - com , though it borrows many of that genre ' s tropes , the movie plays like a technically proficient , very expensive substitute for going into therapy after a painful breakup . heartfelt but lacking some key ingredients , the pic has limited commercial potential ; in any event , it ' s certainly much too conventional for sundance ' s next section , meant to showcase titles with an\ninnovative , forward - thinking approach to storytelling .\nwhen she came home at 2 : 30 p . m . one day after doremus had earned his diploma and found him lying on the sofa in his boxers , eating ice cream and watching movies on tv , she threatened to kick him out of the house if he did not find a job . he instead applied to the american film institute ( afi ) in los angeles and , at 19 , became the youngest member of his class .\nnot necessarily incendiary and diabolical , this relatively innocuous indie film , shown only in a few select theaters , still had the ornery temperament of a relentless curmudgeon and the razor sharp guile of a confident screenwriter . two estranged brothers apprehensively join forces to find a lost love . emotional indigestion follow . a cool , remarkably airy score by goddamn electric bill make this one of the most sentient , blue - in - the - face road films in the past decade .\nthat\u2019s a silly premise , especially for a movie that doesn\u2019t take a silly approach to the material . at times , doremus and company seem to be struggling to force a narrative arc onto douchebag , when it\u2019s clear they\u2019d rather be watching the characters just hang out . doremus has a good eye for the varied landscapes of california , and dickler creates such a distinctive type\u2014a self - centered man - child who covers his preoccupation with toys , games , and girls by feigning a detached , scholarly expertise\u2014that it\u2019s a shame they slip so easily into conventionality . these people and the world they inhabit are vivid enough to sustain something much more original .\nin the end , neither character is extremely likeable , but they are not utterly detestable either . in fact , audience members don\u2019t have strong emotions about the characters either way and remain indifferent about them throughout the film . because audience members lack interest in the two characters , it is difficult to remain invested in the story . on the surface , the characters\u2019 differences make for an interesting story and good material for dialogue , but the characters fail to capture this potential .\ni do think the likability comes from the fact that despite his looks and charm , he\u2019s a bumbling person and that makes him endearing and human . i wasn\u2019t worried about making him unlikable ; he was interesting . i gravitate to films that are about [ flawed ] characters . i know a lot of men who saw the film who said they acted just like that , and saw a lot of themselves in ray . or women who said they were one of those women .\nsuch a cute romantic comedy : ) justin long & drew barrymore were just amazing & christina applegate was great as drew barrymore ' s sister & charlie day & jason sudeikis were great as justin long ' s best friends . just a great movie about love & how by going the distance your love will survive : ) just watch this adorable film : ) you won ' t regret it ! : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : )\nthis time around , the nervous - laughter factor comes from the movie ' s barely printable title instead of its premise , which is hardly as outrageous as two straight men trying to make a gay porn film : brothers sam and tom , estranged for two years for reasons we don ' t know , are brought together by the former ' s fiancee , who arrives unannounced at tom ' s door and all but insists that he come back with her to be at the wedding .\nmarauders is like a sophomoric college essay : it\u2019s full of interesting ideas that get bungled in the execution . interspersed with some well - done robbery set pieces , the film as a whole strives for unearned depth , dropping an entire thesis about the nature of legality and ethics into a straightforward crime flick , thereby making the latter elements needlessly confusing while the former get watered down into lackadaisical platitudes . attempting the profound when you\u2019re out of your depth is the definition of pretentious , and marauders succumbs to this temptation .\nthe racquet club . park city , utah . friday , jan . 22 , 8 p . m . the temporary , ascending rows of theater seats quickly fill up . if it\u2019s not a full house , it\u2019s pretty darn close . after a brief welcome from doremus , the film begins . it\u2019s funny and better - paced than spooner , although that could also be because of the things coming out of the titular character\u2019s mouth . you\u2019re on the edge of your seat wondering what dickish thing dickler will say next .\nthe main character , ray livingston , has a job that seemingly only exists in film . he runs some dating blogs , and somehow makes a living from it . scenes predominantly feature young people who seemingly have nothing but free time to walk around and talk to each other , and eat with each other at fancy restaurants . this is the type of movie and characters i frequently hate , so why did i find myself loving it so much ? why did it feel fresh , original and unique , like something i had never seen before ? because these were roles and depictions always reserved for white actors .\nthe problem at this juncture is this : we have no reason to care about ray ' s wounded pride . nothing in the script has given us a reason to think there ' s more to him than we see , and brice doesn ' t project enough personality here to make up for the screenplay ' s failings . we ' d much rather spend time with jake ( william jackson harper ) , the wry best - friend character who routinely takes the air out of his puffed - up pal (\nyou ever think you might hate women , ray ?\n) and who gets most of the film ' s intermittent laughs .\nmarauders wants us to ask difficult questions about the value of staying within the confines of the law , and to its credit , it does so by explicitly rejecting the reactionary dirty harry ideology that drives so many cops - vs . - robbers stories . rather than endorsing the fast - and - loose \u201cfuck the law\u201d attitude of heroes we\u2019re meant to laud for their internal moral compass , the film suggests such ethical compromises end up doing more harm than good . even better , it ultimately leaves judgment in the hands of the viewer , refusing to grant either legitimacy or condemnation to well - intentioned criminality . if only marauders didn\u2019t have such difficulty wrangling its own contradictory intentions .\nthe social network\nexplores the moment at which facebook , the most revolutionary social phenomena of the new century , was invented - - through the warring perspectives of the super - smart young men who each claimed to be there at its inception . the result is a drama rife with both creation and destruction ; one that audaciously avoids a singular pov , but instead , by tracking dueling narratives , mirrors the clashing truths and constantly morphing social relationships that define our time . drawn from multiple sources , the film captures the visceral thrill of the heady early days of a culture - changing phenomenon in the making - - and the way it both pulled a group of young revolutionaries together and then split them apart .\nray\u2019s friendship with jake ( william jackson harper ) allows for the strongest scenes in the film . the two have a great chemistry , harper finding comedy in moments that would otherwise play dry , even obnoxious . wise\u2019s turn as rochelle is also a highlight . tough and beautiful with a penchant for snappy delivery , the young actress is at her most engaging when she\u2019s dressing down ray for his childish , navel - gazing thoughts on love and sex . when the movie works \u2013 and it works just enough \u2013 it\u2019s gleefully aware of ray\u2019s asshole - ness . the man\u2019s got good friends and the charms to find the right woman ( not to mention a nice brooklyn apartment ) , but an inability to get out of his own way and get over himself .\ni looked at a lot of woody allen and \u201chigh fidelity , \u201d which is precise and particular of how the main character describes his perception of the world . it\u2019s a low -

small town sheriff wilfred teasle . however , in making his stand , rambo becomes the most wanted man in the state . rambo uses the skills he was taught in the green berets to fight teasle and his deputies , but neither man will allow his pride to let him stop , to admit defeat , despite mounting losses . first blood is a novel about war , about choosing sides , and about the gray areas that

blood\u2014 he only severely wounds the people trying to hunt and harm him . this was a conscious effort on stallone\u2019s part in his script to change the character into an underdog from the character in the book who , due to his ptsd , goes on a wild killing rampage , which stallone felt would alienate the audience .\nblood and its expansions were made available for purchase from the digital distribution service urltoken under the one unit : whole blood name on april 10 , 2010 . this was followed by a release on valve software ' s steam service on july 14 , 2014 alongside blood ii

does not specify a specific year , and the developers described the game as not having a set time period , but the game ' s sequel blood ii : the chosen takes place in 2028 and states that it has been one hundred years since the events in blood . although the backstory was not delineated within the game itself , the monolith website , the blood manual , and an accompanying text file presented the few facts known about the precursory events , such as caleb ' s relationship with ophelia .\nsequel to the awesome first blood , first blood part ii revolves around john rambo is sent into vietnam to take pictures of a supposed abandoned pow camp . when he finds that the camp is still operational , he liberates a pow and subsequently gets betrayed by the men who hired him to get the job done . after this , he takes matters into his own hands and takes on half the vietnamese army and a squad of russian troops and attempts to rescue the other pows ' s . first blood part ii follows the events of the first film and the mission that rambo goes on is a chance for him to get pardonned over the events of the first . first blood part ii is a solid sequel that offers everything you ' d expect from a rambo film . sure some aspects of the film are silly , but the key words you need to remember is \u00e8rambo film ' ehen this is a rambo film , you should expect something over the top . the film delivers the usual top notch action thrills with decent acting , but as usual it ' s not anything great . but what do you expect in the acting department of a rambo flick . though lacking in some aspects of the picture , the film more than makes up for it with it ' s action . thats the reason why rambo films are excellent , the nonstop action . the filmmakers know how to craft a solid actioner , even at times if it ' s not truly perfect , there are a lot of things going for this film that surpasses the low points . as far as action films are concerned , first blood part ii delivers everything you ' d expect and more . first blood part ii is an underrated film that doesn ' t deserve the flack it has received . sure it ' s totally different , but theres an interesting plot to keep you entertained . even if the plot is average , the action is flawless and its what makes this film a blast to watch again and again .\nfirst blood\nmay have signalled the beginning of the incredibly lucrative\nrambo\nseries but for sylvester stallone it represented his first success outside the\nrocky\nfranchise . the the heavily dramatic\nfist .\n( 1978 ) , the critically acclaimed\nnighthawks\n( 1981 ) , or the risible\nescape to victory\n( 1981 ) were among the notable flops stallone starred in between the\nrocky\nfilms .\nfirst blood arrived in theaters in october 1982 , some seven and one - half years after the end of the vietnam war . veterans ' rights were still a significant issue , although their prominence was waning . with its message about how returning soldiers had been marginalized by a divided country in desperate need of healing , first blood sought to bring more to the table than the story of an unhinged survivalist lashing out at a bunch of close - minded bigots . based on david morrell ' s novel , the screenplay by michael kozoll , william sackheim , and stallone sought to mix politics with action . as established by the movie , rambo wasn ' t merely the target of a group of small - minded local law enforcement officials , but the pawn of a system that created him then set him adrift and , in a larger sense , of a society that had no use for him beyond the soulless business of warfare . in first blood , rambo is a victim . in the three sequels , he is\nredeemed\nand transformed into a hero . first blood has a moral compass ; the subsequent entries in the series do not .\n1959 max perutz of cambridge university deciphers the molecular structure of hemoglobin , the molecule that transports oxygen and gives red blood cells

death strugg\nthe road to the first rambo movie being released in 1982 was a long journey . the novel first blood was published in 1972 and reports are that the property went through three studios , 16 scripts , and a lot of high - profile actors and directors before it became sylvester stallone\u2019s second franchise character ( after rocky ) . and though stallone had become a superstar after the 1976 release of rocky his other non - rocky films ( f . i . s . t . , nighthawks & paradise alley ) hadn\u2019t faired so well . nor was the topic of vietnam a popular one in \u201982\u2014the last u . s . troops pulled out of saigon in \u201975 . there weren\u2019t strong indicators that first blood was going to be a hit film .\nearly blood processing program for relief of english war

the chance to read this amazing book . now , there were some drastic changes from film to print or print to film more like . and that ' s okay . i never expect the movie to be just like the film . there have to be differences , so long as the essence remains intact . and for the most part , the essence of first blood , be it sylvester stallone or just the\nssg : spy / spec - ops . . . : in your opinion , what books kicked off the spec / ops genre in the first place ?\nmost people will come to first blood having seen the film first , as well as the three sequels . while the book does contain the thriller aspect and some of the action of the film , it is also a kind of dark character study into how a person can be affected by military training and the traumas of war . in terms of the influence of this novel on me as an author , i would say that the protagonist , john rambo , has a number of similarities to my own john kennedy character . these will become even more apparent as the drug gang series continues . first blood is both a fascinating and an exciting read , probably more reminiscent of the film the deer hunter , in many ways , than the actual rambo movies .\nat the bottom , it\u2019s not all resets and adoration stacks . tanky supports ( taric , alistar , leona ) and traditionally full tank solo laners ( trundle , sion , shen ) reap comparatively small benefits from first blood , likely due to their power scaling expressing itself as \u201cbeing real good at not dying\u201d rather than \u201cbeing real good at killing other stuff . \u201d what i\u2019m trying to say is if you\u2019ve gotta feed , feed the tank . it\u2019s also worth mentioning that the solo queue blitzcrank in your game who is \u201cdefinitely gonna carry\u201d is one of the least effective at translating first blood into a juicy\nsylvester stallone is one of the great physical actors in the movies , with a gift for throwing himself so fearlessly into an action scene that we can ' t understand why somebody doesn ' t really get hurt . when he explodes near the beginning of \u201cfirst blood\u201d , hurling cops aside and breaking out of a jail with his fists and speed , it ' s such a convincing demonstration of physical strength and agility that we never question the scene ' s implausibility . in fact , although almost all of \u201cfirst blood\u201d is implausible , because it ' s stallone on the screen , we ' ll buy it ."]}

planning .\nin 1994 captain eo disappeared in epcot and the other disney parks followed ( disney resort paris was the last one in 1998 ) . eo was replaced by \u2018honey , i shrunk the audience\u2019 . reasons for the disappearance of eo include the fact that the special effects had become too old but the fact that jackson was accused for the first time in 1993 of sexual harassment may have been the main reason . one can understand that this was not at all to the liking of disney .\nto make way for this new offering , \u201c captain eo , \u201d the current occupant of magic eye theater will say its final farewell december 6 . hope many of you are able to come out to see them change the world one more time .\nwe are visiting disney world later this year and are very excited for this attraction . although we also love honey i shrunk the audience\u2026 why not have both ? some showings of captain eo and others of honey i shrunk the audience ? thank you !\nadds to the greatness of michael jackson . this was closed at disneyland when i was a kid , so i didn ' t really remember it that well , but it was brought back after michael jackson ' s passing . captain eo is an amazing short 3d film the great minds of francis ford coppola and george lucas behind it . aside from having mj , his dancing , and singing it it , this film has a good message behind it . captain eo will never get old to me .\nthe comic book was actually published in two sizes , the normal comic book size and this huge , 17\nx 11\nsize which is the most collectible one . in both cases the cover was captain eo ' s famous artwork . . .\nthis film was always my achilles heel i love both captain eo i ' ve come to dream xd , draw . . . i love it . i ' m too in love with him . it ' s my dream , my inspiration . .\nthe film for captain eo is really a mix between the two remaining concepts . the first was for a pan -

headed navigator and pilot idey ( debbie lee carrington ) and ody ( cindy sorenson ) , robotic security officer major domo ( gary depew ) , a small robot , minor domo ( who fits like a module into major domo ) , and the clumsy elephant - like shipmate hooter ( tony cox ) who always managed to upset the crew ' s missions . dick shawn played captain eo ' s boss , commander bog .\nwhen eo finally reaches their destination they fall under attack from patrol cruisers . the can evade the enemy fire but crash on the surface . since hooter has eaten the map , they have no idea where they are . guards immediately surround eo and his crew so it seems they have landed in the right place after all . the evil queen ruler , who looks like a metallic spiderlike witch , convicts eo to severe punishments . eo apologises but wishes to present her with a gift before his punishment begins . eo asks her not only to see the gift but listen to it as well . major and minor turn into a drum and guitar that are being used by hooter and the geex . de queen sees what\u2019s happening and orders her guards to intervene but eo\u2019s power turn them into dancers . the queen then sends her whip warriors who are far stronger than the regular guards . the warriors corner eo but fuzzball saves the day and eo can transform the warriors into allies as well . when all her guards are defeated , the queen is without a proper defence . eo uses all his power and turns her into a beautiful woman . the metallic environment of her fortress and the planet transform into a lush paradise . eo\u2019s mission is a huge success ."]}

passion . the team that went to baghdad were willing to place everything aside just to capture the story . they went as far as risking their lives to deliver stories and news ; to discover the truth and unravel the mysteries within the problems abroad . every single one of their actions were driven by passion . the work of the cnn team depicted in \u201clive from baghdad\u201d is extremely admirable ; without teams such as theirs , our country would not be nearly as informed as we are day by day . t motivated me to continue pursuing journalism , and to push myself to take risks like those depicted in the film .\ncnn producer robert wiener , his colleague and their crew venture to the iraqi capital to cover the gulf war . i knew that live from baghdad was going to win me over just from that epic opening in the movie theater , the characters that we get introduced to such as robert wiener played by the amazing and talented michael keaton who does an extraordinary job or ingrid formanek played by the also amazing helena bonham carter and the rest of the cast that goes on and on every single character and actor in this film is fantastic . the direction that the film takes is terrific and there ' s intense threw out every scene from interviews to even just simple conversations between our characters . the soundtrack also brings a much more dramatic vibe to this already black and white film that you ' re introduced to . beautiful dialogue , a terrific based on real life events and a extraordinary and talented cast make live from baghdad a must see for every fan out there . it ' s also a very inspiring film about a few brave souls that chose to even ' sacrifice ' their lives for the truth .\nlive from baghdad was definitely an interesting flick . robert weiner \u2018s desire for finding his story , although probably glamorized slightly by hollywood , paid off in the end , which is what every journalist wants . he was also an example of sheer determination , unrelenting investigation and passion for journalism .\n\u201clive from baghdad\u201d is one of those movies that made history ; the media world was changed and will never be the same . this movie is about a group of ambitious and courageous journalists and a producer who were the first ones to bring audiences , people sitting in their living rooms all over the country , live tv correspondence from behind enemy lines . these journalists , along with the producer , reported on the conflicts in the persian gulf and essentially made cnn what it is today .\nlive from baghdad is an hbo movie starring michael keaton and helena bonham carter . it follows the true story of robert weiner and ingrid foremanek ( keaton and carter , respectively ) , both cnn reporters who traveled to unstable iraq in hopes of landing an interview with saddam hussein . after navigating baghdad\u2019s strict rules , they get their interview with saddam , but it\u2019s not as groundbreaking as they had hoped . however , when the bombs start falling , cnn was the only news station to break the story live .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\ni have always wondered what drives journalists to cover wars . \u2018why put yourself in such a dangerous position , and for what ? \u2019 live from baghdad helped me understand what drives journalists to cover wars and the kind of mindset they have . robert wiener wants the big story . forget living , he would choose death if he could be the only news network on the air during the iraqi invasion . and when he is given this opportunity during the bombing of baghdad , his crew airs the news and manage to cheat death . from the first moment you see wiener it becomes apparent quickly that he and other journalists who cover wars are bold , courageous , and willing to risk their lives in order to get the perfect story . live from baghdad also exhibits an interesting situation . the morning after the bombing , robert wiener and his crew congratulate each other while peering over their hotel balcony at bombed out buildings and chaos . i think it is fair to say that they were the happiest people in baghdad after that night of destruction . live from baghdad gave me a perspective of a type of journalism i have never done , and probably will never do .\na hilariously outrageous story based on real events , this film recounts the making of the . . .\nbased on a genuinely moving true story , this film undercuts the realism by pushing its . . .\na victorian thriller with rather heavy echoes of jack the ripper , this film struggles to . . .\n' ' live from baghdad ' ' was filmed in casablanca , and its ending may remind you of the fade - out of , well , ' ' casablanca .

( full disclosure : hbo and cnn are both divisions of time warner . ) the romance between keaton and carter is believable but a distraction - - the film really should have been about the war , not the reporters . much of the film is about wiener ' s personal growth as he supposedly learns not to be quite such an egomaniac , which is something journalists often have a hard time with . . . ahem . unfortunately , since live from baghdad was adapted by wiener from a self - penned autobiography , i ' m not convinced that his egomania is completely under control .\nin his discussion of construction principles of films which are assembled from ready - mades , william wees distinguishes between the formats of compilation , appropriation and collage . his categories reflect a scale of uses that ranges from the deployment of footage as unproblematic evidence to the investigation of the semiotics of representation itself . drawing on jay leyda\u2019s writing on compilation film , wees offers a definition of the compilation film . this\nexcellent teleplay , exemplary performances . riveting and thought - provoking . a top - notch production all around . beyond what else has been said , live from baghdad hails those who , as late as 1991 , stood up for the freedom of the press , the battles waged , the compromises made , their failures as well as their successes . bush the elder had ordered the press out of baghdad , but failed , as this teleplay depicts . when bush the younger reentered iraq , he offered the press corps a leash instead , which most agencies snapped up . live from baghdad , a brilliant bit of reporting done by an extraordinary cnn team , but also a subtle homage to those who help preserve one of the most vital proponents of liberty - - a free press .\nthis film may be based on rj palacio ' s fictional bestseller , but it approaches its story . . .\nrehearsals for the film , which is likely to be a big box office hit in the way the beauty and the beast live - action remake is set to be , begin in april , with principal photography taking place between july 2017 and january 2018 .\ncontroversial at the time of release , the film deals with the topic of miscegenation . check out the trailer below :\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nthe 2002 hbo original film , \u201clive from baghdad\u201d , was about cnn reporting during the gulf war . the gulf war started on august 2 nd 1990 , when iraq invaded the neighbor country of kuwait . in january of 1991 , the united nations coalition , which included over thirty countries and was led by the united states , invaded iraq . from the time of the initial invasion of kuwait and the un - coalition taking action , there was great tension between the iraqi government and the reporters from the west . multiple times in the movie cnn reporter , robert wiener ( played by michael keaton ) and his staff we ordered to stop the filming of their show .\nin noujaim\u2019s film different accounts of the conflict are shown to be shaped by a \u201cweave of limitations\u201d .

. the reporters were reporting events as they saw them , without trying to appease a political party , a network , or even a country . they were talking to the people . the response to this kind of

showed me that journalists sometimes have to make crucial decisions that can change their lives for ever . what do you do when your life is at risk and your country is depending on you to provide them with news ? do you stay or do you go ? the reporters from cnn who were reporting live from baghdad were on a mission to report the truth and provide their audience with real stories . when baghdad was at war only cnn reporters decided to stay and report what was going on . they risked their lives and became journalism heroes . sometimes i stop and think to myself that people don\u2019t appreciate everything that journalists do . they don\u2019t know how much hard work and dedication it takes to give a story . our job is to think and care about the audience even though the audience doesn\u2019t care about us . we do what we do because of our passion and desire of providing people with the truth .\nbut not all iraqis were cheering on\nchief\nkyle ' s kills . wael , a government ministry

1 ) patience is a virtue . sometimes waiting hours and hours ( and hours ) for an interview with someone important can earn you a great story , and a great friend\ntonight , i watched the film , live from baghdad . this was a great film , i really enjoyed watching it and it made me think about journalism and our role as journalists . i really got to see in this movie all the work that goes on behind the scenes in order for us , as united states citizens , to see what is going on in another country especially one as controlled as baghdad . it was also interesting to see how one event such as the filming of the bombing in iraq can change a second rate news - organization at the time , cnn , into one of the biggest , most trusted and biggest news organizations today . i was very excited to see this film and this helped me a lot to see what being a reporter really means and how much a seemingly routine news story to use as the public really means to a reporter and how much it can change the persona of a network .\nthis was an interesting look behind the scenes of cnn ' s efforts to bring the 1991 bombing of baghdad into the homes of tv viewers . it brings to light the heroic sacrifices made by journalists , camera crews and producers to keep us informed while working in hostile dangerous areas . a good effort from keaton , & carter , help make this a really decent film . .\nthe ashkenazim are the jews who emigrated to palestine from europe , the sephardim from arab or north african countries . although immigration from arab countries was continuous from the late 19th century , the largest waves of immigration by far between 1881 and 1949 were from european countries . these eastern - european jews founded the state of israel : indeed during the first 20 years of israel\u2019s existence , cabinet meetings were held mostly in yiddish . then , in the 1950s and 1960s , a huge wave of jewish immigration from iraq , morocco and yemen changed the face of israeli society . both were traumatised , each finding it near - impossible to build bridges to the other\u2019s mentality .\ngiven the thematic concern of noujaim\u2019s film with the construction and constructedness of audiovisual records of the iraq war , how does she , in turn , make fragments of these records contribute to the rhetorical project of her film ? this is the central question which will be investigated .\nlive from baghdad , was a gripping and exciting movie to watch . it really made me think about the dangers of the job , but also how rewarding the journalism career can be . i personally am a thrill seeker , so a job like that of the reporters in live from baghdad would be right up my ally . also , the fact that they got to see the beginning of the war in iraq is remarkable . any movies that portray historical events are always moving and inspiring . my favorite part had to be at the end when the war erupted and the army started shooting into the sky . i never imagined what it would look like to watch open fire . if i had been in their shoes i would have been torn between the fascination of the beauty of the destruction and the fear of war .\nit is not only in

inter - titles structure an extended exposition which sets out the film\u2019s narrative baseline and introduce us to the main characters . but this overt authorial commentary soon dwindles to captions with the name and function of characters , and rare instances of temporal or narrative anchorage . it is from a weave of materials and a more dispersed narrative agency that noujaim\u2019s

to be perfectly honest i thought it was just going to be a waste of two hours of my night . however , as soon as the first few scenes played , i was immediately proven wrong . this movie opened my eyes to what true journalism could really be about . my father always told me that most journalists would die for their stories . i never could quite understand why journalists would be willing to die just for a story , or what would even make a story worth dying for . however , live from baghdad , showed me that there are stories out there that are worth risking everything for . getting the story

that the movie was going to be edited shots or streaming footage that was \u2018live from baghdad\u2019 . in my naivet\u00e9 , i did not even consider that the movie would be so moving and relatable . as the movie progressed i grew more and more attached to the main character . his ability to mold his character to fit every journalistic situation reminded me of my own persona . his stubbornness in the scene where he waits an entire day to speak with the minister of information to attempt to make an appointment for an interview with saddam hussein reminded me of my stubbornness . i am also stubborn in the way that i would wait as long as it takes to get what i need . overall , the main character reminded me of myself and he made me feel more confident in being a journalist .\ni was

racial angle in the end . but still , a movie worth looking for .\njournalists are warriors . this is the message that was woven into every second of the film live from baghdad and the message that rang through my mind as i left the first amendment forum last night after the movie had ended . after watching the incredible story of a cnn team that endured horrific ordeals and succeeded in telling the story of a lifetime to the public , i have a new respect for journalists and reporters everywhere . i never realized how the truth was something that often must be fought for , and i now know that if being a journalist means joining the ongoing battle between integrity and corruption , i want to be a part of it .\nalthough based on a true story , the film is not a documentary . many events have been condensed or eliminated and even some characters have been condensed or eliminated .\nwatching the movie live from baghdad gave me a picture of what true commitment looks like in journalism . the team of journalists in the movie risked life and limb in order to deliver the news to their viewers . even as the reckless protesting mobs in baghdad screamed and held signs reading \u201cdown usa , \u201d the team pushed their way through with cameras to continue reporting . with limited technology available in the foreign country , members of the team had no choice but to sprint back and forth through the hallways in order to make the news report perfect for viewers . after a story failed because of lack of cooperation from an interviewee , hope seemed to be lost . despite the setback , the team kept pushing through and ended up getting an important interview from saddam hussein himself . at the end of the film , bombs began to explode as a war erupted , yet the team continued reporting and did whatever possible to keep the news stream going . this movie showed dedication to the extreme , and i admired the great lengths each team member was willing to go in order to make a difference .\nwhat moviegoers in baghdad think of ' american sniper ' when gaith mohammed , a young man in his twenties with a degree in accounting , went to see\namerican sniper\nduring its opening week at baghdad ' s mansour mall , he says the theater was full and rowdy .\nsome check out this story on urltoken urltoken\n\u201clive from baghdad , \u201d an action movie depicting the true life story of cnn\u2019s struggle to prove themselves as a worthy telecast station , played tonight in the first amendment forum . amongst the many television networks , such as cbs and abc , cnn\u2019s team struggled to cover the main stories that were happening in baghdad and kuwait . after many discouraging events , such as the sadaam hussein interview being offered exclusively to cbs , and the fear of being harmed that stopped interviewees from disclosing the truth , the group from cnn didn\u2019t back down . once all foreigners were offered one last escape from iraq before the war erupted , many of the other journalists fled back to the united states . the group at cnn stayed , providing the only live link on the war from iraq to the united states , meaning many of the other networks cited them for information . they proved themselves to be worthy journalists , and boosted cnn\u2019s credibility indefinitely . before starting school here , i was honestly questioning whether i wanted to persue a career in journalism . i wondered if it would present enough of a challenge , or if i would grow tired of it , but this movie made me realize all of the important things i can do in this field . and it honestly gave me the drive to try harder , because one day , i could be solely reporting on a matter just as controversial and just as important as the war in iraq .\nroessner stressed the film , helmed by director fernando coimbra and shot on location in jordan , is not entirely autobiographical , but it does mirror his own experience in iraq .\nguarantee the perfect movie night with tickets from fandango . find theater showtimes , watch trailers , read reviews and buy movie tickets in advance .\ni had never seen live from baghdad before this time . i have to say it was an experience ; i truly enjoyed it . it was such a fascinating movie . the way the crew from cnn never gave up . they took risks and it paid off . they put everything they had on the table and they were extremely successful . it was incredible the way they put their lives on the line to report to the world what was going on . throughout the movie we were able to see how the crew in baghdad were able to spot the smallest things that told then something was off . as a journalist it is important to be able to spot those small things that tell you something seem strange . this is a prime example of going all in and leaving nothing behind . cnn had everyone at the palms of their hands ; everyone was reporting the news that the crew from cnn had found . i would definitely watch this movie again .\nthe film , directed by mick jackson from a script credited to mr . wiener and three others , does simplify history in the cause of drama . the canny viewer will remember that hbo and cnn are both children of aol time warner , which no doubt hopes to supply your updates on the next gulf war .\ni saw an interesting made for hbo film called live from baghdad staring michael keaton and helen bohnam - carter . i remember when it was happening in college , so it ' s an interesting look at an insider ' s view of the action . it also displays the journalists ' view of the action that i sometimes come across in other journalistic accounts in books and magazines . it was made before the current war on iraq , which gives the current conflict some perspective , but not much , it doesn ' t analyze about the war so much as give the story of how cnn broke out to become a giant in the journalism industry with it ' s exclusive coverage of the war .\nit\u2019s surprising how confident i am in what i would or wouldn\u2019t do for a story . when dean gilger described an incident where a interviewee ( who was also running for public office ) asked for a story to be held because of his previous alcohol problems , i immediately thought it was not alright to hold the story . it\u2019s our job to expose these kind of things . like in \u201clive from baghdad\u201d , it is our duty as journalists to make certain practices known to the public . in the movie , wiener is criticized for his crew\u2019s interview techniques ; yet , i believe , it is always the interviewee prerogative to say , \u201cno . \u201d in \u201clive from baghdad\u201d , i initially thought they were overly critical on the judgment calls of wiener and his crew . upon a second examination , i understand the judgments on the cnn crew . this movie highlights the ethical line we all must walk as journalists . do we expose the over - protective government or do we keep promises to our network ? it seems we may have to do both .\nin baghdad , where much of the film is set , the movie drew full crowds at one of the city ' s new upscale cinemas . dressed in a fur - collared coat and loafers , mohammed says many of the showings were sold out , and he knows of people who had to book their tickets a day in advance during opening week .\ni found the movie live from baghdad extremely interesting because it portrayed a side of journalism that isn\u2019t always publicized . there was a part of the movie where the main character , robert wiener , is experiencing internal conflict over an interview he gets from an american hostage in iraq . he is very aggressive in getting the interview , which he believes is important for americans at home to see in order to understand what is going on in iraq , but at the same time he feels guilt at possibly putting that man in danger by exploting his situation . this is a repercussion of journalism that isn\u2019t as widely known , or at least one that i had never thought about before .\n\u201clive from baghdad\u201d showed me both the exciting and scary parts of journalism . i\u2019ve listened to and watched war reports , but somehow in movie form it made it that much more real . i don\u2019t know if i could be the one to go into a country and tell the story for the audience back home , especially if i were from the enemy country . it was interesting to see how much persistence is needed to be a really good journalist . you have to wait and be patient , even if you have to drink lots of mint tea . waiting is not always fun or entertaining . but it can get you the best results . it also sets you apart from the rest . your editors and producers will have more faith in you and will give you those assignments that you\u2019ve been waiting for . i also paid attention to how much robert wiener noticed the details . those details are what truly tell the story . it\u2019s also what kept cnn in baghdad , even when the other networks were kicked out . overall , i very much enjoyed the film . it gives me a better apprectiation for what i\u2019m learning in class and for what the job of a journalist is .\n\u2022 \u201cmargins to center\u201d is concept i was recently introduced to in my history class . it describes how people who live on the margins of society tend to , have to , pay more attention to those in the center of it ( those in power ) . in the film , people in iraq seemed to have a much better idea of what was going on in america than vice versa .\nroessner said the water pump mission in the film has often been compared to the myth of sisyphus , the greek tale of a man rolling a rock up a hill for eternity .\nbradley cooper plays chris kyle , a navy seal sniper , in ' american sniper . ' the film is based on kyle ' s autobiography detailing his time serving on the battlefield .\nit ' s impossible to distinguish whether live from baghdad is a completely true story , but the cast and the location shooting ( done in california and morocco ) is excellent . the most interesting part is when cnn reporter robert weiner ( michael keaton ) goes to interview the head of iraq ' s ministry of communications , who later became the iraqi minister of propaganda ( something like that ) and gained the nickname\nbaghdad bob\nbecause of his televised tirades against the u . s . during the recent 2003 gulf war . he kept insisting to the iraqi people that u . s . troops were not in control of iraq , even after they made their way into baghdad . he was later arrested by u . s . forces , but the charges were eventually dismissed , and now he ' s another civilian caught up in his homeland ' s ongoing chaos . rating : * * *\nand so it continued : every time a film portrayed the hardships of the north african immigrants , the public wanted to see it , while the critics warned of stereotypical images . slowly , though , it became clear that whenever a film critic ( usually an elderly ashkenazi male ) screamed \u2018racism ! \u2019 he was really hiding his own racism . from sallah to avi nesher\u2019s turn left at the end of the world 40 years later , the maladjustment of the moroccan jew drew huge crowds while the intellectual elite frowned .\ngreat hbo film that tells the story how cnn was the only news network to be able record live from iraq during the usa iraqi war . michael keaton does a stellar job portraying cnn producer robert wiener who ran the show with helena bonham carter as co producer ingrid formanek , along with many familiar faces including bruce mcgill who almost steals the movie with portrayal of correspondent peter arnett . the screenplay written by wiener himself gives insight on the give and take involved when dealing with a foreign government who wants to be portrayed in the best light possible .\nas a grad student , it was somewhat eerie to me to watching \u201clive from baghdad\u201d , especially since i remember the events of the persian gulf war like it was yesterday . as a seven - or eight - year - old boy , i remember watching the tv with my parents in a small , single - wide mobile home in northern idaho , and wondering why my parents were glued to the tv , when all i was seeing was a map of iraq and pictures of a few men who were describing radio - style what they\u2019re seeing .\ndramatized version of the story of cnn ' s gulf war coverage featuring\nthe boys from baghdad\n: the battle over access , the fight to keep the technology up and running . . and the decision whether to risk their lives behind enemy lines once the bombing starts , in order to get the story of a lifetime .\nbut \u201csand castle , \u201d according to roessner , could be the first film about the war in iraq penned by a veteran who served there and released by a well - known studio .\n\u201clive from baghdad\u201d was an eye - opening movie about the beginning gulf war from a journalistic point of view . it was so intriguing for me to watch because there are countless more factors that go into producing international news than i ever imagined , especially in the years before technology was every improving , as it is today . now i can say that i have definitely taken the reports from across the world for granted . even as little as ten years ago , people had to anxiously wait for the few minutes of airtime showing the correspondence of the foreign reporters . i was amazed by the courage and bravery of the crew in the movie . their selfless determination to capture all the breaking news they could sometimes meant putting their life on the line . that is the true example of being a great storyteller , as aaron brown talked about on monday . the cnn crewmembers in \u201clive from baghdad\u201d were willing to do whatever necessary to report the truth , even when iraqis where threatening them . whether that was stepping into a crowd of protesting people to get that perfect shot or standing in front of a window while guns were firing into the sky , they forgot about themselves and thought only of their viewers back home . this demonstrated to me that journalism is about transporting your audience to a place where they might not be able to go and enabling them feel as if they are right in the heart of the action .\nin 1990 , the producer robert wiener ( michael keaton ) convinces the direction of cnn to go to iraq with his crew due to the increasing tension of this country with usa . when baghdad was bombed and iraq invaded in 1991 , cnn was the unique television broadcasting the events , being worldwide projected as a great news channel . i liked very much ' live from baghdad ' , mainly because the story is very decent and engaging and stays politically neutral , trying not to manipulate the viewer with any political crap , and limiting to show the hard work and difficulties of the cnn team to work in country under the pressure of an eminent war and with a totally different culture . the direction and the performance of the cast are excellent , but michael keaton , helena bonham carter and david suchet ( whose name i have not found in the imdb credits ) are superb . the original title of my review was ' a decent movie ' , and for my surprise there is another review with this title . once there is a very interesting line about the karma of a country with oil fields , which would be a cemetery of forest and dinosaurs , i decided to highlight this uncommon reference . my vote is nine . title ( brazil ) : ' ao vivo de bagd\u00e1 ' ( ' live from baghdad ' )"]}

just think royachan is 25 years old or i am 25 . \u201d stung by jealousy , she does not think twice before declaring herself pregnant with roy\u2019s child to his former lover and friend , dr elsie ( seema ) .\nroy is the epitome of an m & b hero \u2013 stern , charismatic , pragmatic and kind . he struggles to hide his love for shirley , overtly anxious over whether he is too old for her . to hide his own conflicting feelings , he tries hard to match her up with baby , his friend\u2019s brother . he gives baby a job in his office , hikes his salary and even allots him a separate cabin . \u201cnow you are ready for marriage . any rich girl will be impressed , \u201d he tells baby . of course , baby is taken with shirley , dreaming of a duet between them ( \u201corumadhurakinavin\u201d ) .\nbaby ( rahman ) is the third angle in the love triangle . the minute his eyes rest on shirley he thinks he is in love , and he throws caution to the winds and proposes to her straightway . he barges into her college on his bike to declare his love , but shirley never takes him seriously . not one to be cowed easily , there\u2019s that memorable scene where she goes off on a tangent hearing his proposal , and he warns her , \u201cathikam kalichal njan premichangu vashathakkum , paranjekkam ( do not try to throw attitude . i will make you mad with my love ) . \u201d\nbut what makes the film beautiful are those little romantic vignettes between roy and shirley . you have to love the scene where shirley barges into royachan\u2019s office to complain about baby on the pretext of seeing him . after soundly admonishing her , royachan asks her curiously , \u201cwhy aren\u2019t you scared of me ? \u201d shirley smiles shyly and responds , \u201cwhy should i be ? \u201d\nthen there\u2019s the time she makes him rush to her , only to offer him achappams . \u201cis this the emergency you told me about ? \u201d asks an exasperated royachan . \u201coh yes , it is crisp now , best way to eat it , \u201d is her immediate response . a reluctant smile tugs at the corners of his mouth as he picks up an achappam and bites into it . and shirley responds , \u201cenikkariyam royichanenney ishtamanennu ( i know you like me ) . \u201d\nbut my personal favourite is the scene where he confronts shirley about her \u2018pregnancy\u2019 . after the initial anger subsides and he mockingly threatens to beat her , she quickly turns her back to him and says , \u201cah , adicho , dhaa njan inganey ninnu tharaam ( sure , beat me . i will just stand ! ) \u201d . romance between the man - of - the world royachan and the innocent shirley never looks convoluted at any point .\nthe other memorable scene ought to be the one where royachan gives baby advice on wooing a woman . \u201ctut tut , i thought you are an old hand in this . is this how you do it ? you just lay the bait and wait for her to pick it up . \u201d in the next scene , baby vents his anger at shirley for tom - tomming about his proposal to all and sundry . but all shirley wants to know is roy\u2019s reaction . \u201croyachan enthu paranju ?

[ 4 ]\ni don ' t think there ' s any mystery to that . i think that was also the case in the past in the u . s . , say in the 1940s / 50s , where people churned out many more films . the other factor is that budgets in japan are so low that in order to survive as a filmmaker , you have to work on several films a year . with such a low budget , the director ' s fee is also low . there are times when i wish i had more time where i could work on and create a good film , but on the other hand , i think when you very quickly churn out a screenplay and film it over the course of a few weeks and just complete the film very quickly , it may be a little slip - shot in technique , but i think you are able to retain a primitive strength of that uninhibited creative impulsive . it ' s directly translated into the film without a lot of rewrites that may make a film more polished , but i think sometimes , in the course of polishing a film , the basic idea , a strong idea , can lose some of its power .\nwhen ring and all these horror films became such a hit in japan and the horror boom started , i took the chance of making this film . i ' m not sure of course if it ' s going to be a success . if it ' s not , it might mean the end for this type of film , because i think audiences are getting a little bit tired of them .\na bit of a lost classic that slipped between the cracks despite the oscar nomination for lead actress kim stanley , this story of kidnapping and madness in the savage household starts off with a first hour so expertly paced , nuanced and beautifully photographed that you begin to think the 8 . 4 score it has on imdb isn ' t a stretch at all . the way forbes handles the exposition , withhelding information from the audience long enough to keep them guessing , releasing them in an ambiguous fashion to maintain an aura of mystery , all the while not forgetting those little casual moments that don ' t advance the plot but allow the material to breathe and the characters to emerge thridimensional and human instead of drab caricatures drawn as plot devices , is a masterclass in storytelling that one would expect from a master of bergman ' s calibre . the second half steadily accelerates , building up tension between the kidnappers and between them and the police , with some absolutely riveting pieces of suspense such as the cat and mouse game in the subway or the mother of the kidnapped girl making a sudden appearance at the house her daughter is being held to participate in a seance where the medium foreshadows her daughter ' s fate while she remains unaware , right down to the brilliant conclusion around a seance table where stage actor patrick magee has a cameo ( mr . alexander from a clockwork orange ) , seance is a terrific piece of film - making that will particularly appeal to horror fans . kim stanley deserved that oscar and so did richard attenborough ( who would go on to sweep the oscars with gandhi ) , both of whom give electrifying performances as husband and wife .\nyes , the actors in japan understand the situation . so even if they also appear in higher budget films , if they like the script they ' ll appear in the film for very little money .\nthe end leaves even more up in the air as the second - to - last song \u201cif you die ( in sf ) \u201d moves away from some of the more fully fleshed uptempo material for a spacey country tune of sorts . lastly , the 57 - minute ( ! ) instrumental closer not only alerts the listener to the fact that seance school have ventured into prog - conceptual territory , but that their follow - up could split off into another hundred different directions at any given moment .\nhere are plot pieces that i remember : group of kids ( girls and boys ) standing in a circle holding hands . they ' re in a building , likely a church or cathedral . one boy is speaking ; they ' re performing some kind of ritual or seance . a girl stands in the middle of the circle , blindfolded . loud noise / earth shaking occurs and a giant bell , like from a cathedral , drops on top of the girl standing in the middle . she disappears .\nin my films i don ' t like to use sound to elaborate the story . the story is the story and sound operates on a slightly different plane . as i mentioned , film to me is somewhere in between reality and fiction and i think of sound as defining the world that i ' ve created in that film . sound is what defines the place that is neither story nor reality , but in between .\ndid education play a part in the style you chose for the film and how you shot ? because you use some very classic camera effects , like the dissolve of the boy who sits in the window sill .\ni think that kind of disappearing , in a non - visual medium it won ' t work . you can ' t do it in a novel , it ' s almost impossible to do on stage . so those kinds of very simple techniques that belong only to film , even though we now have a lot of computer graphics , i like to treasure and value those expressions that can only be accomplished in the film medium .\nsome part of me is pleased that my film is being remade in the u . s . , but i think , frankly , as long as it ' s being remade in the hollywood system , i have a sense of anxiety and dread that it will be very difficult for the film to be fused with the same sensibilities that i made my original film with . i think that , in general , it ' s impossible for the sensibilities that these japanese films have to be remade inside the hollywood system . i find this sad , and i don ' t care to participate in such ventures . however , i understand that there are many americans who bring to films a lot of intelligence and thoughtfulness . if there were a way , outside of hollywood , to remake my film in the english language for that kind of audience , then that would be wonderful .\ni ' m not sure what i ' d do given the same circumstances and that ' s what makes s\u00e9ance a good film . like life - to be trite - there are no easy answers ; only ' what ifs ' and ' should haves . ' the film isn ' t only about the scares , though there are some really classy ones , but about the complexity of an outcast ' s social problems . while it can be argued that the film is bleak , i feel that it is accurately portraying the outsider ' s plight in a different and smart manner . ( i have purposely avoided the fascinating doppelganger metaphor , to leave you something to ponder . )\nlate one night , jon ( corey feldman ) throws a party for his college buddies and his sexy sweetheart silvia ( mikki padilla ) . looking to liven things up , jon tells the tale of a child ghost , michael miller , who died a long time ago while desecrating a church . intriqued , jon ' s friends coerce him to hold a seance and raise the blasphemous boy from the dead . little did they know it would work , and michael miller would rise from the grave , mad as hell . . . and out for revenge !\n( smiles ) i ' ll tell mister yakusho that . certainly that dirty long coat in blade runner is a very memorable film costume . over the years i ' ve asked my costume department to recreate that kind of a look .\ni believe i made that film in 1999 , but the script i had written almost ten years prior to that , back in 1989 . it was an original story that i devised that related to a theme that i was very interested in at the time , which is the environment . so , although the narrative is important , the critical question in the film is whether a single tree will be chopped down , i . e . will we protect the forest or not .\ni think there weren ' t a lot of differences . i didn ' t have a big budget and the shooting only took two weeks , so it ' s the same as with a low budget film . i shot on film , so that ' s the same too . the only thing was that i couldn ' t use shocking scenes . it has to be more quiet . there aren ' t a lot of people dying , because that ' s not allowed .\ni haven ' t made them recently , but i used to make a lot of yakuza films . these are shot on film and they have a very limited theatrical release , but in fact they are intended to recoup their cost on video .\nfilm screenwriter jake armitage and his wife jo armitage live in london with six of jo ' s eight children , with the two eldest boys at boarding school . the children are spread over jo ' s three . . . see full summary \u00bb\nat first , laura thinks the idea is absurd\u2014she isn\u2019t the one with the powers , after all\u2014but before long , she takes to her new career in ways that propel her into stardom and its usual trappings while at the same time separating her from her beloved sister . as for kate , she goes off with andre to an institute for the paranormal that he believes will help him recreate the earlier seance and film a genuine spirit with the aid of a collection of bizarre machinery straight out of a ken russell movie . andre plunges so much money into pursuing this obsession that his entire company teeters on the edge of bankruptcy . while all of this is going of , of course , the winds of war are beginning to blow , bad news under any circumstances but especially bad for andre , who has a secret regarding his heritage that threatens everything .\nsome of your early films where made with the nikkatsu studio , japan ' s oldest film studio , and you had a much publicized falling out with them . can you discuss what they wanted with your work and why you didn ' t think you could compromise ?\ni ' m very familiar with that famous shot at the end of nosferatu . there ' s no direct relationship between barren illusion and nosferatu , but that kind of very simple , fundamental film technique i think can still have a very powerful effect if you use it intelligently .\ncait carvalho is an experimental artist based in brooklyn . she tinkers in analog forms of media making , as well as the latest digital techniques . she has created hand - painted + and animated films , as well as surreal fiction and non - fiction pieces . by day , cait is working on her mfa in the ima program at hunter college . at night , she\u2019s managing screenings at anthology film archives . during the summer , she\u2019s hanging out upstate teaching film / video at the new york state summer school of the art ' s media arts program .\nwell , i won ' t go into all the details , but there was a time where there was an aspect of a branch of japanese filmmaking called the nikkatsu romance porn genre , and i made one of them right about the time it collapsed , right at the end of the 1980s . i was still young at the time , and i wanted to sink my teeth in this opportunity to make a film ( vertigo college ( shigarami gakuen ) ) , and wanted to have a lot of freedom in what i made . i thought that i had fulfilled the porn aspect of the film , but according to them , what i didn ' t fulfill was the romance aspect of the film . i didn ' t have a love story story - line , which i completely ignored . instead , i choose to portray a university that was best with various factions who were in - fighting amongst themselves . the studio decided that my film didn ' t qualify as romance porno and decided that they weren ' t going to release it . i said , in that case , let me buy it and release it myself . that was the end of that .\nin japan even if you make a strictly entertainment film without any exploration of theme at all , a low budget is around us $ 200 . 000 or 300 , 000 and a high is maybe 2 or 3 million . like i said , it ' s completely removed from hollywood levels .\nthe appearance of someone like yakusho - san helps to get a little bit more money , but he ' s not exactly like a hollywood star . just that he ' s in the film is no guarantee that it ' ll be a hit or that there will be a large audience .\n. . . i didn ' t answer your question . . . walt did . . . but i ' m glad that you ' ve found the film you ' re looking for . please thank him by clicking on the check mark on the answer to show that it is correct .\nyes it ' s true , my film feature very passive characters , but i think that ' s a very japanese way to be . that ' s a very average way to be in japan , and i ' m not portraying someone special when i ' m showing that kind of character .\nthe film ' s opening is slowly and deliberately paced , as we see myra and bill exchange increasingly strained and sinister dialogue while making rather mysterious and methodical preparations around their house . strong character scenes between the submissive husband and the increasingly unbalanced wife play effectively alongside the suspenseful kidnap and ransom sequences . this approach is seen at its best in the film ' s central twelve minute section , in which bill ' s frantic collection of the ransom at piccadilly circus underground station is intercut with a sedate policeman ' s interview with myra back home . the scene effectively juxtaposes big city anonymity with suburban familiarity .\nharun mehmedinovic took up photography as a hobby during his road trips across america . years later , his project bloodhoney * became one of the most successful kickstarter photography campaigns of all time . he is a regular contributor to bbc earth , and has contributed photographs to vogue italia , national geographic , and blindfold magazine . mehmedinovic ' s work has been featured by wired magazine , la times , npr , la weekly , vice , washington post andthe boston globe , and they have also been a subject of a tedx talk . mehmedinovic is the author of two books , seance and persona , and his astrophotography timelapse videos have been used at various events , most notably by the rolling stones on their zip code tour in 2015 .\nthe film returns to 1991 , and chrissy goes into labor and gives birth to a girl . later , in their old tree house , it is revealed by roberta that crazy pete had died the previous year . they then discuss how happy they are in life and make another pact to visit more often .\nduring holiday break , girls in an empty dorm building hold a seance to contact the ghost of a little girl that haunts their room . unfortunately , they also bring back a murderer who lived in the building , too . for the most part you can forget any comments about this movie being creepy . ( reviews from someone involved in the production ? ) it has a few lackluster moments , and it tries , but ultimately fails . mostly because scenes that are supposed to be set in the dark seem to have as much ambient light as your average daytime soap opera . and the slow fade effects of the ghosts are more cheesy than spooky . the actors playing the students all are very good , with a . j . lamas a notable standout . kandis erickson is also a more than capable lead . bridget shergalis is a good silent ghost . unfortunately the ghostly whistling maintenance man killer is about as scary as a carton of oatmeal . ( i . e . not at all scary . maybe partly due to the overstrong lighting and sometimes laughable fade effects . ) this film could have been so much more if only better choices had been made in respect to lighting and special effects .\nloft is completed , but it hasn ' t been released in japan yet . i think they are exploring the possibility of an early release next year , and it may be possible that it finds its way into a film festival abroad in 2006 . i can ' t tell you much about the story at this time , but what i ended up making is kind of a strange love story with many horror elements . that ' s the film i wanted to make , but that ' s a bit of a hard sell in the japanese market . apparently , i should have made a less unambiguous love story or a more ambiguous horror . we ' re struggling a bit to find the appropriate release .\nit ' s actually more like three films a year . i ' m just a very fast filmmaker . i usually take about two to four weeks to shoot a feature . also , there ' s not a lot of money for filmmaking in japan , so if you only make one film a year , it ' s very difficult to stay alive .\nyes , it certainly is a detective story , but it ' s also a sort of american - style indiana jones / two - teams - vying - for - a - treasure film . that ' s how i started it . but instead of a box of treasure i decided to make the treasure a tree that ' s in a forest . then you start to imagine\nwhat value does the tree have\nand\nwhat is the condition of the forest it ' s growing in ?\n. then you start to realise that you ' re not making an indiana jones movie at all , but you ' re making a much more complex film . that ' s the process of my filmmaking .\nto put dear johnny ' s soul to rest , the girls go to the cemetery to perform another seance . johnny ' s tombstone suddenly rises surrounded by bright light . a figure appears from behind , but it is only the groundskeeper who explains that the stone was damaged and is being replaced . the groundskeeper explains he was the one who cracked the tombstone . realizing they never resurrected dear johnny , they agree to stop the seances . while leaving , they notice crazy pete , and samantha follows him back to dear johnny ' s grave . realizing that he is dear johnny ' s father , she comforts him , while he advises her not to dwell on things . some time after , the tree house is finally bought , and samantha narrates ,\nthe tree house was supposed to bring us more independence . but what the summer actually brought was independence from each other .\nnext , s\u00e9ance organises film - related events \u2014festivals , special screenings , lectures , conferences etc . \u2014in saint petersburg and other russian cities . we have run several retrospectives , starting with the highly successful stanley kubrick festival attended by jan harlan ; the latest one was the retrospective of roy andersson who presented his latest film pigeon sat on a branch reflecting on existence in person . our most important project in 2015 so far was the first balabanov conference \u2014an academic forum on aleksei balabanov accompanied by a series of screenings , a contemporary art exhibition , and even a guided tour . the conference\u2019s events were held in saint petersburg and moscow ; they involved a large number of notable critics , theorists , artists and filmmakers from russia and abroad and received a huge feedback .\nthe film was co - written and directed by rebecca zlutowski and the opening scenes are intriguing as we are introduced to the two sisters and their bond and observe kate\u2019s otherworldly abilities and laura\u2019s tentative first steps into the french film industry at a time when it was beginning to change to catch up with what was going on in the states . before long , however , the narrative devolves into a series of subplots that , with one exception , do not work on their own , and which never pull together into a satisfying whole . laura\u2019s adventures , which include a romantic entanglement or two , are profoundly uninteresting and never address her feelings about her separation from kate . the war element doesn\u2019t really come off either and just appears to have been tossed in at random to lend the story more dramatic heft . ( we even get a moment where everyone at a garden party stops to sing an inspirational rendition of \u201cla marseillaise . \u201d ) the most interesting stuff involves kate and andre and all the strange gadgets employed to hopefully put a ghost on film but it winds up getting the short shrift to make room for the more conventionally melodramatic moments .\nhome vision has recently released two of your films in the united states , s\u00e9ance ( korei ) and charisma ( karisuma ) , and i ' d like to talk a little bit about s\u00e9ance . s\u00e9ance on a wet afternoon was originally adapted into a film in 1964 in the u . k . what was your interest in working with the subject matter ? what ' s the evolution of s\u00e9ance ?\nthe yakuza films were more or less around us $ 300 , 000 to 400 , 000 a piece . charisma had twice that , about us $ 800 , 000 . barren illusion was very low , about us $ 200 , 000 . my latest film pulse took a lot of money - well compared to hollywood movies it ' s nothing , but still it ' s twice the budget of cure .\nit was filmed largely in the country walk subdivision off coffee bluff road in savannah , georgia , although called shelby , indiana in the movie , using the gaslight addition and old town cemetery , highlighting the downtown area . additional filming was done in statesboro , georgia in locations including the bulloch county court house ( also featured in the film 1969 and the building now housing the averitt center for the arts .\none of the big differences between american filmmakers and japanese filmmakers is the quantity of work , while being able to maintain a high level of quality . why is it that so many japanese filmmakers are so prolific - you yourself make two or three films a year - while in the u . s . we ' re lucky if the good filmmakers can make a good film once every two or three years ?\nfundamentally , the use of metaphor and allegory in horror is nothing new ; an exhaustive number of critiques and analyses have been written at length about this . in kurosawa ' s case , by weaving the violent horror threads with social commentary , the audience gets a thrilling and chilling ride that leaves us pondering the larger implications of his stories . kurosawa ' s 2000 made - for - tv film s\u00e9ance is a prime example of this .\nit ' s true that whenever i make a film , i ' m interested in the thematic issues , but basically , as we know , if you ' re going to make a film that going to be commercially released , there a time limit , somewhere between 100 and 120 minutes that defines the form of expression called films . in order to tell the story within that set time frame , i really do like to rely on the strength of genre . i think if you just make movies set to convey a certain theme , they have a tendency to get a little too long . the truth is that it had a ten year gestation period from writing the script to shooting the movie , so i had a lot of time for all kinds of confusion and doubt to fester . charisma is an extreme case where genre and theme are put together in a hodge - podge fashion .\ni took some of his film classes in college and was really affected by them . what he taught me was how to watch films , how to perceive them , not how to make them . how to make them is very much self - taught . the core of what he taught me is that films aren ' t just about entertainment , but films are so vital and exciting that they are worth spending your whole life exploring and examining .\nand that ' s it . no explanation of what it is or why it has occurred . but this moment is something that is rooted in good background research on paranormal phenomena : purportedly , room temperature drops dramatically where there is a paranormal event . i didn ' t know this while watching the film , but i found the visual striking . it seemed to be an elegant touch of there literally being something mysterious ' in the air . '\ni didn ' t come to a clear conclusion myself in the film , but i ' m certainly happy to have you take that interpretation . it ' s not far from my own . i would like to say that accepting life as it is , is not a weak or a pressured or a pessimistic thing . i think it ' s quite the opposite . it ' s a strong , aggressive , positive stance that can sometimes include elements of violence .\nnow and then is a 1995 american coming - of - age film directed by lesli linka glatter and starring christina ricci , rosie o ' donnell , thora birch , melanie griffith , gaby hoffmann , demi moore , ashleigh aston moore ( no relation to demi ) , and rita wilson . the supporting cast features hank azaria , janeane garofalo , cloris leachman , and bonnie hunt , among many others . the plot follows four women who recount a pivotal summer they shared together as adolescents in 1970 .\nit ' s hard to feel detached while watching this film . on the one hand , the fact that junko represents such a helpless minority who is not only marginalized but basically is mocked by society makes us immediately sympathize with her . in an allegorical sense , it is about any people who have ever been maligned by society and denied any chance to clear their name and prove themselves . they live behind the stamp of stereotype and any efforts made to improve , merely exacerbates the situation and the existing stigma .\none of the major themes of my films is individual life in the metropolis called tokyo . i ' m not sure how this plays out in the u . s . , but what we have in tokyo is individual human beings living completely cut off from traditional , regional communities that had supported them in the past . the theme is that of a human being , isolated amidst a huge aggregation of people and information systems , but the individual remains entirely entirely alone within this metropolis . cure is the film that most clearly illustrates this theme .\nit was a very precious and special time for me . it was my first exposure to the international film community , but it was a time that i realized how completely different japanese and american movie making systems are . in a way , part of the result of being exposed to sundance was that some part of me thought ,\nwell , maybe if the americans like it , i can make charisma in the united states .\nbut actually , being at sundance made me resolve that i must make this film in japan . my understanding of american cinema is that the protagonist must be taking actions towards a clearly defined goal . in my screenplay , there are many moments where my protagonist has no goal . he is just existing . many of the americans there kept bothering me , kept saying ,\nwhat ' s going on with this character now ? what ' s his intent ? what ' s his motive ?\nand i would have to say ,\nhe doesn ' t have any intent . he ' s just being .\nthey found that very strange and odd .\ncertainly mainstream audiences want the slasher killer . that ' s what they and the people who produce these films want , because it will make them jump . when a preview audience sees a horror movie , there are people that actually count how many times an audience does physically jump , and that is an indication of how effective a film is . that moment of adrenaline is actually being quantified to show how scary a film is , but your films are much more complex than that . for example , in america , when we have a theme of evil technology , the technology itself has to be given human qualities . a computer is given the ability to learn to think and kill on its own , or some monstrosity that we ' ve created to benefit us will somehow turn on us . in your films , you use technology as a tool which human use for evil needs or the dependence of technology is a symptom of a much larger problem , like in pulse , where the internet is a piece of technology that is isolating us from one another . can you comment on this difference ?\nthat ' s a theme that ' s in a lot of your films , where your main character is like a blank slate where he has no ultimate goal , and he can become an analogy for change or whatever theme you want to comment on , and by the end of the film , how ' s he ' s changed is the ultimate comment of how an individual ' s actions affect the whole of society . because the character is a blank slate , we can see the evolution of why the character becomes who they become . it ' s a very effective technique .\nfinally , i want to draw attention to what is turning out to be a defining kiyoshi kurosawa film trait - perhaps , this is what my friend was implying with his answer to my initial ' respected director ' question ? kurosawa repeatedly focuses great attention on the unique and subtle ( understated ? ) moments in his films . he rarely forces a moment and confidently allows his situations to unfold at their own pace , using his precisely placed edits to reveal information . ( ironically , i feel that this is in direct contrast to his favorite directors ' films . ) here ' s an example :\nit makes me very happy to hear someone from the united states say that they find my film very scary , but , at the same time , it feels a little strange because the ghost in pulse does almost nothing . it ' s basically an inactive ghost . to me , i find a ghost who does nothing terrifying , but my understanding of many american scary films such as alien or films about pathological killers is that what considered scary in the states is something that attacks us . the ghost in pulse doesn ' t really do that . for me , that seems a natural object of fear .\ndavid hall produces / writes / directs films , music videos , and live visuals for bands . through his former company handshake inc . , hall worked with today is the day , wolves in the throne room , brutal truth , portal , agoraphobic nosebleed , melvins , misery index , dragged into sunlight , pig destroyer and many other underground / extreme metal bands . he is currently in post production on his first feature film \u201cthe church of the red candle , \u201d a dark , psychiatric love story featuring an original soundtrack by luc lemay , and is currently in production on \u201cgod of thunder : the billy anderson story\u201d about legendary engineer / producer billy anderson .\nthe weinstein brothers have had a remake of pulse in the works for some time now . there was even a point where there were some rumors you may direct the film , but wes craven came aboard , and you stepped aside . now , the project looks like its back on with a new director and a young , hip cast . you had mentioned earlier during your trip to sundance that you thought your storytelling was incompatible with american moviemaking , but we ' ve had some recent success , at least box - office wise , with american remakes of ringu and the grudge , and even hideo nakata directed the sequel to the american ring . do you think the situation has changed ?\ni don ' t know if i feel influence from that particular experience now , but at the time i was certainly considered kind of a dangerous character within the studio system , kind of a persona - non - grata that couldn ' t be relied upon to deliver what they wanted . at the same time there were young people and critics who supported my idiosyncratic approach to filmmaking who really appreciated my work . at this point it ' s hard to say whether it was a good experience or bad experience , but the way i like to think of my self is that i somehow bridge the distance between a creative filmmaker and a craftsperson who can deliver a commercial film . i like to think of myself as somewhere in between those two ."]}

stop from roosevelt field in new york across the entire north atlantic to le bourget field in paris , a distance of three thousand six hundred and ten miles . in this triumph of mind , body and spirit , charles a . lindbergh influenced the lives of everyone on earth - for in the 33 hours and 30 minutes of his flight the air age became a reality . this is the story of that flight .\nseveral flashback sequences are interspersed throughout the film . most of the flashbacks are introduced by the voice - over narration of james stewart , who as\nlindbergh\nprovides intermittent narration throughout the film . as noted in the\nunder the agreement , the missouri civil war museum will oversee the removal of a 32 - foot granite and bronze monument from its location in forest park , where it has stood for 103 years . the museum will pay for the monument\u2019s removal and store it until a new location can be found . while the agreement stipulates that the monument cannot be publicly placed in the city or st . louis county , it can be redisplayed at a civil war museum , battlefield , or cemetery . though the deadline to remove the monument is june 30 , the structure could come down even sooner : the st . louis post -

media superstar\u2014as recognizable in india as in indiana . overnight , his plane became the most well - known conveyance since noah\u2019s ark . after suspense had built for a day and a half , 150 , 000 people stormed the barriers at le bourget airfield . while lindbergh eluded the crowd and found safety in a hangar , the mob ripped his aircraft for relics .\nthe documentary -

ww2 actives with nazi germany .\nsaid of stewart ' s performance :\n. . . . stewart , for all his professional , 48 - year - old boyishness , succeeds almost continuously in suggesting what the world sensed at the time : that lindbergh ' s flight was not the mere physical adventure of a rash young ' flying fool , ' but rather a journey of the spirit .\nin spite of the obvious age difference between stewart and the young lindbergh , it is nonetheless difficult to imagine anyone else who could carry the film single - handedly the way he does for its 135 - minute running time . stewart also succeeded in accurately recreating the technical aspects of flying throughout the film ; lindbergh himself was particularly impressed by the moment when stewart taps the oil gauge while starting the engine , the sort of passing detail only an experienced pilot like stewart would know ."]}

time favourites \u2013 and i would like to apologise to the makers because i grumbled to a friend this week that the quality of the writing in svu has declined since season 1 . i apologise because svu exists on the same planet as oozham and i was still finicky enough to fuss about it .\ndileep is the darling of the masses but his onam release welcome to central jail disappointed almost everyone . but the janapriya nayakan\u2019s popularity among kids and family audiences ensured the film a good opening . welcome to central jail , opened on saturday two days after oppam and oozham , which proved to be a disadvantage . anyway along with satellite rights it would be a profitable venture .\nthere is also an untitled film by joe eshwar waiting kishor . but with all the film projects , he has not left television . \u201cthere is the serial karuthamuthu on asianet , i do only one television project at a time . \u201d and kishor also has his cricket to take care of , he is the team captain of atma ( association of television media artistes in malayalam ) .\ni was excited that prithviraj\u2019s onam malayalam release oozham [ turn ] was coming to chicago , but i was forewarned that it wasn\u2019t his best film . i didn\u2019t care . i was still excited to see prithviraj on the big screen for the first time . i have not yet seen writer director jeethu joseph\u2018s previous films drishyam ( mohanlal ) or memories ( prithviraj ) . from the reviews i\u2019ve read , and especially this savage 1 / 2 star take down by anna vetticad , the disappointment in oozham is particularly acute because jeethu joseph\u2019s previous films have been so great .\nit has been pretty long since filmmaker priyadarshan ruled the box office like the way his latest offering oppam fared . he teamed up with his lucky mascot , superstar mohanlal , in this crime thriller . the hero , who had no other malayalam releases in 2016 before oppam ( both vismayam and janatha garage were telugu films ) , played a blind man . the script had quite a few loose ends , but oppam set the cash registers ringing .\njust finished watching oozham excellent first half with crisp editing and average second half , technical side it ' s top notch the tempo goes down in the second half . prithviraj delivers a decent performance\n\u201cthat\u2019s again come through ansar , and also prithviraj who recommended me after james and alice . \u201d the fourth film vella kaduva sees him in a smaller role . \u201cbut that\u2019s by my guru jose thomas who introduced me in films through youth festival . i would accept any role he gives , even if it is a passing shot . \u201d ansar too is making a film where kishor will play a guest role .\nlet this be clear . oozham is no drishyam by any means . this one has its moments but one gets the feeling that it could have been better scripted . now decide on your own .\nthere is no real suspense here and it is evident quite early on who the baddies are . how surya and his friends give them back the pain that they suffered , is what the film talks about .\noozham ,\nwhich also stars divya pillai , rasna pavithran , balachandra menon , neeraj madhav , seetha and pashupathy in key roles , is one of the most anticipated onam releases of the year .\nmeanwhile , revenge thriller\noozham\nhas earned a total of rs . 4 . 45 crore within four days . the gross collection of the jeethu joseph -

hit ' drishyam ' , versatile jeethu has been eager not to become pigeonholed as a director of straightforward thrillers . indeed , his previous release , ' life of josutty ' , was an inspirational entertainer . while keeping plot details under wraps , he ' s described ' oozham ' as a revenge drama with plenty of fights and action , but not one that qualifies as a generic action film . shot in locations that include hyderabad , coimbatore , chennai and ernakulam , the film ' s female lead is divya pillai , who was first seen opposite fahad fazil in \u2018ayal njanalla\u2019 . rasna pavithran makes her movie debut alongside neeraj madhav in key roles as the siblings of busy , multiple award -

starrer . his 2015 film with shankar , i minted rs 19 . 75 crore at the kerala box office .\nnow , here\u2019s the coolest bit of the film . and it does kind of scan . prithviraj and neeraj and divya had been split up for a bit by this point , so they wouldn\u2019t know the details of his plan because he couldn\u2019t have shared it with them . and i suppose he could have figured out how to fight just enough to make the capture look real , and make it look like desperation when he finally threw the bomb , but at the same time do it in such a way that they could easily grab him before he set off the detonator . and then just assume that at some point they would strap the bomb to him and detonate it ?\noozham begins with prithviraj ' s character surya krishnamoorthy being chased by a couple of well - built men wearing similar clothes . surya works in the us as a controlled explosion expert and has come down to meet his family in coimbatore . his family comprises of his father krishnamoorthy , a health inspector ( balachandra menon ) , mother lakshmi ( seetha ) , sister aishwarya ( rasna ) and foster brother ajmal ( neeraj madhav ) . they are a happy family , but an unexpected turn of events leads surya to take drastic steps in order to avenge the wrong done to his family . the entire story is about surya hunting down the baddies one by one .\nright at the opening , there is an interesting pattern established , with us watching a massive action chase fight explosions sequence with prithviraj being chased by like 3 dozen guys , that cuts back to \u201chappy past\u201d on clever little moments like a photo of his face fading into his face , or looking through a window at a happy family reminding him of his own happy family and so on and so on . it\u2019s a nice idea the first , say , 5 times it happens . especially in the first half of the film , when there are no real action scenes in the \u201cpresent\u201d , cutting to the chase serves to get the adrenaline going and remind you it\u2019s an action movie after all . but then it just keeps going and going and going and we keep cutting back to it even when the stuff in the \u201cpresent\u201d is much more exciting .\nprithviraj again delivers a top - notch performance once again . the film has rasna and divya pillai as the female leads . rasna does absolute justice to her role as a sister - cum - friend to her brother surya . divya pillai who plays the role of gayathri does an okay job with her role . neeraj madhav as the foster brother of surya is seen in a very different role . balachandra menon as krishnamoorthy , a simple government employee and a father never fails us with his performance . the other supporting roles are played by pasupathy , jayaprakash , kishor satya , anson paul and tony luke . model - turned - actor tony luke ' s character of a spoilt rich brat andrew marquez , was tailor - made for him . captain ( pasupathy ) , the man chasing surya has his own unique style , which fails to impress in some scenes .\nthe director has tried a non -

or is that what gives the film so much of its charm ?\nthe world ' s greatest sinner is the story of the mysterious transformation of insurance salesman clarence hilliard into a\nrockabilly messiah .\nclarence quits his job , changes his name to god , and exhorts his followers to become\nsuperhuman beings ,\nworking the crowds at his pep rallies into a frenzy ! urged on by a sinister image - maker , god hilliard parlays his rock stardom into a career in national politics , founding the superhuman being party . his followers wear jet - black uniforms with god ' s name inscribed on their arm bands . at this point , sinner becomes a souped - up , low - budget version of all the king ' s men ( 1949 ) , a fictionalized account of the rise and fall of louisiana governor huey long .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ndirected by romeo carey , i fear that carey ' s son may be too close to the project when it comes to presenting a complete portrait of his father . instead of being behind the camera , the eloquent romeo would be better in front of the lens , relating the untold tales of his father ' s passion and wild life . as it stands , the rough cut of making sinner was a rather disjointed assembly of a handful of interviews and abrupt clips punctuated with stock photos . i ' m not sure if these pictures were meant to be funny but i couldn ' t help but laugh when something mentioned by an interviewee always came accompanied by a loosely - related image . someone would say\njesus\nand we ' d see\njesus\n. or , a rather happy latino fellow wearing a sombrero appeared whenever mexico was mentioned .\n. he wanted to combine religion and politics in a film and do something a little different about a self - made type of person who becomes a big celebrity . he had a production book . i wonder if it ' s still around . it explains the plot in quite a lot of detail .\nabove , top : carey ( left ) co - starred with sterling hayden in stanley kubrick ' s the killing ( 1956 ) . center : in one eyed jacks ( 1961 ) , carey was directed by another distinctive actor , marlon brando . bottom : one of his most memorable roles was as the doomed private maurice ferol ( with emile meyer ) in stanley kubrick ' s masterpiece paths of glory ( 1957 ) .\ni have a big crush on 1970s sissy spacek . she had the amazing ability to look strange , average , and beautiful simultaneously . if there ' s a certain wildness that ' s missing from her features now , she is still a great actress . she has enormous range and a completely unpretentious way of inhabiting her characters . she deserves as much , if not more , of the accolades showered on meryl streep .\nsteve allen : and a partridge in a pear tree . well that ' s a very interesting uh , inventory .\nyou won ' t believe his performances . he just starts shaking and his hair falls down . . . he must have watched jerry lee lewis or something . he starts rolling around on the stage , he ' s just shaking all over . it ' s a live performance and he ' s just smashing his guitar , he ' s really beating on it real loud . this is one of the greatest rockabilliy movies ever made . if you get a chance to see it , it ' ll just change your life . wow !\n( lux interior )\nthe concert performances that carey unleashes in sinner are genuinely exciting . goateed and with dangling oil - slicked hair , carey looks great and has the rock gyrations down pat ; he radiates boatloads of charisma and exhibits genuine showmanship . it ' s also great to see this excellent actor ( so often relegated to uncredited bit parts ) in a lead role . frank zappa ' s music is deft and compelling , not some fake rock ' n roll soundtrack a la les baxter . despite its limited distribution , sinner ' s reputation spread far and wide . in 1969 , while carey was shooting his scene for elvis presley ' s last film , change of habit , the king approached carey and asked for a copy of sinner . he ' d heard good things about it .\nfrom : patrick neve ( splat [ at ] darkwing . uoregon . edu ) an edited 12 minute section of the soundtrack was released on various bootlegs , including\napocrypha\n. look over there for a transcription of that selection . also , the orchestra that ' s heard on the soundtrack was the pomona valley symphony .\nthat ' s where our friendship stopped . steve [ allen ] asked him what films he did . he said ,\ni did the world ' s greatest sinner , the world ' s worst film and all the actors were from skid row .\nit wasn ' t true . the press said i was the world ' s greatest ham , and that the world ' s greatest sinner was a travesty of the arts . zappa didn ' t like that and he started to get on their bandwagon . the opening night at the directors guild , he was in complete awe . he walked into the window and banged himself in the head . he didn ' t even know there was a window there .\nfor two nights the american cinematheque is screening timothy carery ' s ultra - rare the world ' s greatest sinner ( 1962 ) . i first caught this flick back in january of 1996 , when it got screened once at the new beverly cinema . someone told me it was john cassavettes ' favorite flick . maybe they meant\nfavorite comedy\n, since this is one of the strangest moviegoing experiences i ' ve ever had . i felt like the be - wigged gentry , paying a few shillings to view the maniacs at st . guy ' s back in the 17th century .\nin motion picture language , it ' s called a\ndeferment .\nyou defer payment until the sale of the picture , and you agree on a price for the score . the price was dirt cheap . it was a $ 2 , 500 score ; which is really peanuts for a film score when you think of these guys getting anywhere from $ 15 , 000 up . i figured the $ 2 , 500 would be good . if i made it , i made it . if i didn ' t , i would still get to hear my music . but in that particular instance , i didn ' t get a tape of the music . i ' m still trying to get a tape of the score from that film . it ' s called the world ' s greatest sinner .\nben watson , frank zappa : the negative dialectics of poodle play , 1996 , p . 16 - 17\nthe film\u2014directed by tim carey \u2014featured many songs which were to reappear later on other zappa releases . he eventually dropped out of his junior college classes and began devoting himself almost full - time to writing the film ' s score . zappa , who was then twenty - one years old , later called it ' a rancid period of my life . '\nit ' s also nice to see the burgeoning dvd\nbonus goodies\nmentality starting to infect live screenings . saturday night ' s screening ( 6pm ) is introduced by romeo carey , who ' s showing a 30 - minute work - in - progress documentary about his father . then , at 9 , they ' re showing the killing ( 1956 ) and the outfit ( 1973 ) .\nchoose 1 of 2 free * posters with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\naround the same time [ fz ] was on [ the steve allen show ] . that ' s where our friendship stopped . steve asked him what films he did . he said , ' i did the world ' s greatest sinner , the world ' s worst film and all the actors were from skid row .

old widow for her cash , and the final , climactic\nmiracle\n. trust me , you have to go see this flick .\nit ' s about a guy who decides to form a religion . he calls himself god and gathers all these followers . then one night , he wonders whether or not he really is god . so in order to check himself out , he breaks into a supposedly catholic church , steals a communion wafer , runs home and sticks a pin in it to see if it ' ll bleed . it leaves a trail of blood all the way across the lawn and he repents and . . . oh , it was stupidity .\nmaking sinner demonstrates the need for the definitive documentary of timothy carey . this needs to happen soon , while people that worked with him are still alive . in making sinner the interviews with carey ' s youngest brother and ray dennis steckler are great , yes , but a carey doc needs interviews with people like peter falk , bob rafelson , robert blake , and ben gazarra ( to name a few ) . as it stands , making sinner is an ambitious idea that isn ' t quite ambitious enough in its scope ( and not cohesive in its presentation ) .\nzappa studied music and art at chaffey college . he wrote the score for the world ' s greatest sinner , a low - budget tale about a sacrilegious imposter who repents . sinner had its premiere at vista - continental theater , hollywood , and opened wednesday [ march 20 , 1963 ] at the ken theater , san diego .\nmy personal opinion is that sinner is very unusual ,\nbarreto observes .\nnobody else but tim would have dared to make a movie like that . very controversial , especially when tim pierces the host ( to make god cry out in pain and reveal himself ) . tim ' s acting was good , but it was very strange .\nat the premi\u00e8re at the vista - continental theater in hollywood on 30 january 1963 , carey , ever the showman , appeared in his silver lam\u00e9 preacher suit with god stitched on the sleeves and got the evening off to an exciting start by firing a . 38 over the heads of the audience .\nin the summer and fall of 1961 . i was interested in film work then . i had gone to nyu graduate school in communications . timmy was doing that film and i decided to leave new york for los angeles and see how things were in the film business . so off i went to california to work on\ni remember that day . timmy was positioning all the people . they were just local people who were acting in the scene . timmy had a few professional actors working on the picture with him , like the guy who played his campaign manager ( james farley ) and gil barreto ( who played clarence ' s disciple ) . i don ' t think anybody other than timmy had any significant credits , though .\nthe plot could politely be called\nepisodic\n, unraveling like a vaguely sinister acid trip , only you ' re laughing too hard to start clawing your eyeballs out . the soundtrack is by frank zappa ( billed in the credits as\nzappa\n) and it churns along like a forgotten garage rock band recorded in an echo - ey sewer\u2014and that ' s a compliment ! the scenes of hilliard performing in\nconcert\nmake the shaggs look like rush . the band basically bangs and crashes and farts out this proto - punk spew , then stops dead silent so hilliard can yawp ,\nplease , please please take my hand !\nthen the band starts up again , with hilliard doing this creepy / hilarious shimmy dance , jangling around in his weird silk blouse / shirt .\n. well , timmy never got to the phone . he stayed out there , brushing his horse . i don ' t know what that was all about . timmy was a little erratic at times . i think if timmy hadn ' t been quite so extreme in some of his efforts to get publicity for himself , he would have been in other kubrick pictures after\nit took fz 2 months to write 15 minutes of music for the soundtrack . the recording session took 11 hours with the pomona valley symphony . frank conducted and one mic was used . it was placed above the podium . aside from al sarratt [ surratt ] and myself , i don ' t remember who else played . maybe ronnie , but i can ' t be sure .\nwhile fz was writing the soundtrack , he would dip his pen in the ink and then wipe the excess off on his pant leg . he always wore the same pants , gray with thin black stripes . it ended up looking pretty cool . he told me that he cut out the section of pant leg with the ink on it and framed it and sold it for $ 500 .\ni think i may have written this sentence last night :\ni ' m not going to tell you how highly i value this movie , mostly because anything i recommend seems to underwhelm almost everybody else ( not because i ' m some kind of supercool movie hipster , mostly because i value plot and dollar bills so much less than most , much to my continually frustrating dismay ) .\n[ . . . ] the recording location listed isn ' t where he recorded , but there were probably multiple recordings going on .

positive comments about chennai ungalai anbudan varaverkirathu from legendary directors and new age movie makers from tamil cinema . but sadly , the movie is not even 10 % of what these directors are boasting about .\nm marudhupandiyan , who has directed and produced ' chennai ungalai anbudan varaverkiradhu ' , said he roped in bobby simha for the film even before the release of ' jigarthanda ' .\ndirector m . maruthupandian has no doubt chosen five emotional stories and in fact given a lot of good scenes in \u2018chennai ungalai anbudan varaverkirathu\u2019 and it is unfortunate that the film does not work as a whole . but we can surely wish him better luck next time .\nchennai ungalai anbudan varaverkirathu is a 2015 indian tamil drama film directed & produced by maruthu pandian ,

varaverkirathu . had , the film got better dialogues , better actors , better screenplay , better production value , better technicalities , better theme and better climax ; maybe it would have been a great pleasure for us to appreciate the movie as cult classic but now we see this as another amateurish film from a wannabe film maker .\nthe script goes on like this depicting the lives of these youngsters in chennai city .\nthe story moves on like this , without any particular theme . it shows what all happens in and around chennai and what kinds of people are living there . everyone who comes to chennai , did not get success , instead learns some lessons for their lifetime .\nbobby simha , who plays the role of chellapandiyan performs in a mind blowing way . his performance shows that he is the real national award winner . linga , who performs as karthik did justice to the role which he had undertaken . this film , technically receives a setback , as it is a low budget movie . director alphonse putharen , who is the director of the bilingual hit neram , is also in this movie , performing as bobby\u2019s friend . maruthu pandiyan , the director of his movie , also had performed a role . chennai ungalai anbudan varaverkiradhu is a watchable movie and the people who settled in chennai understand the story deeply , as they have suffered similar problems .\nthree bachelors , who have come to chennai to make a living , realize that life in a metro is fraught with difficulties , both external and self - inflicted .\nyes , we agree that the director marudhupandian has tried to make an authentic portrayal of what is happening with some bachelors in chennai but at many places he has gone overboard that the film gives an experience of watching a b grade movie .\ndirector maruthupandian has chosen to tell the lives of youngsters who are struggling to get a grip on the life . they come to chennai with lot of dreams . while some get chance to get a decent livelihood many struggle to get anything to take care of their daily routine . the boys depend on their friends . these youngsters help each other even though none of them are settled . the life becomes troublesome to those who come to chennai with the dream of making it big in dream world called cinema . the problems of these persons revolve around a place to live and food .\nanthologies or movies that deal with multiple protagonists are rare and the ones that succeeded in tamil are \u2018marina\u2019 and \u2018idharkuthaney aasaipattai balakumara\u2019 . debutante maruthupandian in \u2018cuav\u2019 attempts to tell five stories with the central theme being what lies in store for people who come to chennai to make a living or chase their dreams .\nprabanjeyan has another predicament . his brother\u2019s ten year old son back in the village asks him to come with a bicycle . prabanjeyan , bereft of money to do so avoids going to the village . as if these stories are not enough the director introduces two more characters later in the tale . maruthupandian himself appears as a drunkard from bobby\u2019s village . he comes to chennai to make a living depending on bobby . director alphonse puthiran ( \u2018neram\u2019 fame ) is one of bobby\u2019s friends , loves a girl who is loved by his friend .\nmaruthupandian shows the status of this kind of life in a realistic manner . he makes the viewer empathize with the characters . the environment , mental pressure , and daily struggles are well portrayed . the problem with the script is that it doesn\u2019t have any coherent story to sustain the length of the movie that runs near two and half hours . the stray incidents fill the script and hence the viewers cannot involve much into the proceeding . the movie looks like a realistic and documentary - like portrayal of the lives of youngsters who come to chennai with dreams . it fails to evolve as a feature film as it lacks any story to sustain .\nbobby simha as chellapandian is an aspiring film director who struggles to make ends meet and keeps shifting bachelor rooms because of problems created by friends especially prabanjeyan who is a jobless assistant director dependent on bobby . then there is karthik ( linga ) , who works for a software company and is an expert in taking girls to bed and uses bobby\u2019s room for the same and he finally gets into big trouble when he cheats and impregnates a divorced girl vino . prabanjeyan\u2019s brother\u2019s ten year old son back in the village asks him to come with a bicycle and prabanjeyan avoids going to the village because he cannot afford it . much later in the film two more stories are introduced one involving director maruthupandian himself as a drunkard from bobby\u2019s village who comes to chennai to make a living depending on bobby and there is also director alphonse puthiran of \u2018neram\u2019 fame who plays one of bobby\u2019s friends who along with his roommate love the same girl and the girl too \u201cloves\u201d both of them ! ! !\nthere are of course scenes which hit us hard , especially when one of the protagonists , karthik prefers to make out with his girl friend instead of looking after his sick mom who later passes away , his guilty mindset has been well registered but the problem with the film is that there is no proper screenplay and all we see is some random scenes at random locations with new characters popping out all of a sudden .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthe

'\nsome initial impressions : for what little it matters , the\nnew\n60 drk feels quite empty compared to the\nold\n60 drk , to say nothing of 50 and below . however once you have most of the blood gauge kit on the road to 70 it becomes pretty fun . lot of buttons , lot of spamming dark arts . blood gauge strikes an interesting balance with dark arts and mp management ( simplified now that darkside doesn ' t drain mp ) . gauge is gained by : 10 for every souleater ( combo ' d , of course ) . 1 per tick , per target , for salted earth . 3 per physical attack landed during blood weapon ( requires trait at 66 ) . 1 per hit taken during blood price ( w / 66 trait ) . 4 per tick while blood price is active ( w / 66 trait ) . the tooltips for gauge gain with salted and blood price are pretty misleading . delirium is a really nice cooldown as it gives extra duration on blood weapon or blood price ( 8s and 16s ) as well as giving you a mp\nchunk\n. the timer extensions generally make up a good chunk of delirium ' s blood gauge cost as well . quietus is a decent aoe spender for blood gauge ( and notably you can rack up a lot of refunded mp if you use this in a pack with blood weapon ) . bloodspiller needs no real introduction . both of these ws also do not break your combo . neither does grit or unleash , if those were not new changes . the blackest night seems like a very interesting way to gain blood gauge and good utility besides , especially given the low cooldown of tbn itself , however making the trade of mp for blood probably needs to be weighed with the situation as tbn costs the same as dark arts and dark arts further enhances bloodspiller and quietus . dark arts potency gains : + 350 - carve and spit + 175 - bloodspiller ( grit ) + 140 - bloodspiller ( no grit ) , syphon strike , souleater + 110 and blind effect - dark passenger * + 50 - quietus ( aoe ) increased enmity - power slash hp drain effect - abyssal drain 15 % - > 30 % magic vuln down - dark mind * passenger ' s mp cost is extremely high , same as dark arts , which makes it virtually the worst use of dark arts and even the base skill isn ' t that great now .\nit was on october 31st 1993 when the main actor river phoenix ( 23 ) died during the shooting of dark blood\u0094 . \u0093his unfortunate death\u0094 brought the production to a complete stand still . studio fine line hollywood believed back in 1993 , after seeing great rushes and the unusual quality of the acting , dark blood would be the independent surprise of the year . now , in 2012 , george sluizer is finally able to start editing the never finished movie .\ndirector george sluizer had held onto the dark blood footage for close to 14 years . in 2007 , when he was told an aneurysm would limit his remaining years , he decided to complete the film , glossing over the unfilmed scenes with voiceover narration . the result is still an unfinished product , but one whose dark story , striking imagery , and intense acting have produced critical acclaim on the festival circuit . the phoenix family has declined to comment on , or be involved in , the film ' s release . dark blood will be available on demand later this year .\nthe third book , dark blood , in the new trilogy is a lycan hunter by the name of zev who is lifemate to bronnie , tatijana ' s sister . it is scheduled to be coming out in septembe of 2014 .\nit ' s fascinating to watch the feature after all these years of rumors and leaked clips , finally able to grasp the last images of river phoenix before his untimely death . for that alone , dark blood is worth a look .\ncologne , germany - - dutch director george sluizer has finally finished dark blood , the movie actor river phoenix was working on when he died at age 23 of a heart attack on halloween night 1993 outside the viper room in west hollywood .\ndark blood was shown for the first time on september 27th 2012 at the netherlands film festival . although the phoenix family offered no support to this movie , it is reputed that river phoenix ' s mother wished the makers all the best .\ndark blood quickly announces itself as pure folly -

financing site cinecrowd , which promises a limited - edition dark blood dvd to donors who pledge more than \u20ac50 ( the site no longer accepts donations for the project , saying the goal has been met ) .\nwildfire has pre - empted a debut thriller , blood orange by harriet tyce , exploring the power of desire , jealousy and betrayal .\ndutch production house eyeworks helped sluizer navigate the legal issues surrounding the film . after phoenix ' s death , sluizer confiscated the dark blood footage and took it back to the netherlands . he kept it hidden , fearing , he said , that it otherwise might have been destroyed .\nconventional 2d carotid plaque imaging is done with transverse orientation . recently , it was shown that longitudinal views provide additional complementary information ( 18 ) . the t2w - space sequence always comes with longitudinal views of the vessels , thus reducing the need for slice repositioning and shortening scan times . the technique also provides several advantages over other dark blood 2d or 3d mra techniques . t2w - space is more efficient than previously reported 2d and 3d dark blood sequences used to image the carotid arteries in terms of speed and spatial coverage ( 19 ) . compared to ssfp based dark blood 3d techniques , t2w - space is insensitive to magnetic field inhomogeneity and can be used at high field strengths ( eg , 3 t ) where improved signal - to - noise ratio favors higher spatial resolution imaging . the variable flip angle used in t2w - space also reduces the specific absorption rate ( sar ) relative to comparable 3d fast spin echo methods , an important consideration in high field imaging . moreover , t2w - space is an intrinsically dark blood technique\u2014flowing spins dephase along the readout ( frequency encoding ) direction ( 20 , 21 ) .\nso sluizer scoffed at the relatively mild deprivations of dark blood : the production booked a local motel and rented some nearby houses . the theme of hollywood people being unable to cope with the real world is a major aspect of dark blood : a hollywood couple drive their bentley into the desert on a second honeymoon , and get in big trouble when it breaks down . the couple , harry and buffy , were played by british actor jonathan pryce and australian actress judy davis ( oscar - nominated for her work in david lean\u2019s a passage to india and woody allen\u2019s husbands and wives ) .\ndark blood\nwas not an easy production . the material was heavy , they filmed in desolate locations and davis was difficult to work with and was often hard on phoenix . he also had dyslexia and struggled to remember long segments of dialogue , which he occasionally asked sluizer to shorten .\nsources say that festival organizers felt pressure to drop the george sluizer - helmed drama , which continues to draw the ire of the late actor\u2019s family . in 1993 , a 23 - year - old phoenix was in the final three weeks of shooting dark blood when he died of a drug overdose .\ni ' m very pragmatic and reasonably cool about things ,\nhe acknowledges , when asked about the circumstances surrounding his uncompleted 1993 film , dark blood ,\nbut i must admit river had a very strong charisma . he had something special which you do not find with other actors .\nphoenix ' s character in dark blood , a disturbed young man living in the wilds and waiting for the apocalypse , was difficult to play , but sluizer saw no signs that the role was getting under the actor ' s skin . as far as he was concerned , phoenix was a model professional .\nwildfire has pre - empted a debut thriller , blood orange by harriet tyce , exploring the power of desire , jealousy and betrayal . . . .\nin the case of dark blood , there are ways for the insurance company to recoup some of its losses : the wardrobe and props may be sold , and exterior shots can be converted to stock footage . in the future , a producer could also buy the script from the insurance company and attempt to start from scratch . but more likely , dark blood will simply stay on the shelf , maybe someday going the way of two other uncompleted movies \u2014 orson welles\u2019 it\u2019s all true ( 1941 ) and marilyn monroe\u2019s something\u2019s got to give ( 1962 ) , which have been the subjects of documentaries about the makings of the films .\nthe film\u2019s footage remained fallow for 14 years . in 2007 , doctors told the dutch director that he didn\u2019t have long to live due to an aneurysm , prompting sluizer to tackle his unfinished opus . miff marks the third festival to screen dark blood ( the netherlands and berlin fests also showed the completed film ) .\nit ' s just vampires vs werewolves for the next 90 blood -

image of malcolm - as - he - really - is forms on a window - pane against a backdrop of violent lightning , to emphasize illumination as trauma for malcolm , and for us too , since we begin to understand , in that flash , that none of what we have seen so far in the film was as it seemed . within this dialectic of the real and unreal in insanity , overexposure is most often associated to other cinematic techniques , such as the hard cut or jump cut which can aptly imitate the disjointed syntax of dreams or delirium , and translate a split sense of reality or self\nhairstylist / makeup artist / photostylist with 40 years experience providing makeup and hairstyling services for print , film , television , digital production and fashion industries . i am a team player who is production friendly and who can operate within tight time limits under all types of conditions . i have a very natural style of make up application and can also accomidate whatever the need is including some fx . aleta wolfe dept head / makeup artist member iatse local 798 1010 . grace @ urltoken aleta wolfe , was born and raised in southern california . she has been a professional makeup artist for the 15 + years , working in tv , film , print and runway . she has worked on several feature films over the years , dept head on several independent films , andasan additional makeup artist on too many to list . her television experience includes saturday night live , today show , the early show , 60 minutes , dateline , nightly news , cnn , to name a few . production assistants\nthis film tells ( using modern day interviews and archival footage and sound tapes ) the story of how in 1967 , while his band the beach boys triumphantly toured abroad , brian wilson was trying to push the boundaries of conventional pop music with a new follow -

mates when they returned . the project was shelved and wilson ' s well - documented decline into depression , drug abuse , recluseness , and obesity had begun . thirty - odd years later , wilson announced that in 2004 , smile would be performed live in its entirety in london . this film tells the story of a damaged but healing artist bringing his greatest work to light .\n, and in an endless mirroring of the concrete and the figurative \u2014 the screen is our mirror , the gaze is like a camera , and the necessary apparatus to film and to screen a movie is itself made of reflectors , mirrors , lighting , etc . ( metz 1977 , 72 ) \u2014 overexposure is the ultimate heightening of this \u201cpresence - in - absence , \u201d and films that use overexposure to show the dead , or life beyond death , play doubly upon ghosting . alan ball\u2019s cult series\nof overexposure , and reflexively keeps us in the dark because disclosure would literally kill not only the photosensitive children but the film itself , most romantic ghost stories bathe ghosts in overexposure from their very first appearance on screen . this double symbolization of presence and absence that the combination of overexposed images and fade - to - white allows is the hallmark of films of haunting , but also , of tales of derealization , or dematerialization , such as time travel . these various significations can be combined : darren aronofsky\u2019s\n( 2003 ) , which plays on the disappearance of the setting itself into the whiteness of the screen ( as if the screen were a gigantic landscape of clouds or fog from which the characters could emerge and into which they could disappear ) , and which takes the de - realization of the illusion inherent to film as far as it can go . in more popular films , such radical debunking is unthinkable ; but overexposure as a sign of alienation is a constant . an interesting example is michael bay\u2019s\nin 2015 , a blip , as snowy flop everest failed to make it a hat - trick , but this year , the choicest launchpad seems back in the good books . la la land won the spot this year , and reception to damien chazelle\u2019s follow - up to whiplash has been nothing short of rapturous . its world premiere drew raves ( the guardian\u2019s peter bradshaw declared it a \u201c sun - drenched musical masterpiece \u201d ) . the same occurred at the telluride film festival days later , where it received its north american debut .\n\u201cthey\u2019re short of timeless in the sense that you can buy them as a 1940s sort of old movie , old hollywood pairing \u2013 like a fred astaire and ginger rogers , or a katharine hepburn and spencer tracy , \u201d says chazelle of his famous twosome . \u201cyet at the same time , they feel , at least to me , completely contemporary . they have a way of grounding everything that they do in a very believable way . once we were able to cast them in the film , it\u2019s like the whole thing sort of woke up . \u201d\nawful is not a strong word in the case of this messy soap opera . while i ' m not divulging any secrets of the movie plot ( there is no plot to mention ) , you won ' t get to see this movie on any wide release or even a small release in the theaters . if they are lucky , a tv sale on lifetime tv might land in the director ' s backyard . this movie is like a damaged plane made of parts that cannot fit and it simply doesn ' t take off . the writer hasn ' t stop for a second to think of his writing , basically writing the movie and perhaps reading a book on how to write movies at the same time . the director is childish to think she can direct , since any good director would change lines , direct actors to react a certain way and frame the shot so that is not in a constant 3 - shot . while the cinematography is beautiful , the story tries very hard . i was actually impressed with the producing because the movie looks very good for a small budget ( under $ 1 mil ) . but then again , who cares about that when the movie is a total waste of your almost 2 hours , hours that will never come back .\n14 scorsese\u2019s adaptation of shutter island ( 2010 ) plays on this ambiguity . not only does the film begin in overexposure , with a phantom ship of sorts emerging from a prolonged white screen of fog , but protagonist teddy daniels ( leonardo di caprio ) is quickly shown bathed in intermittent and too - bright bursts of lightning as he suffers from a head - splitting headache during the violent storm which batters the island . overexposure , lightning , and teddy\u2019s particularly horrible nightmares combined indicate that the psychiatric prison is not so much the haunted house we take it to be , than the projected haunted house of teddy\u2019s ( broken ) psyche .\nin terms of the magical , the transcendent , the other - worldly ; used \u201csubjectively\u201d , it connotes altered states of consciousness ( dreams , coma , madness ) . at its most extreme , it consists in exposing both the characters and the viewers to light as an actual source of , and metaphorical expression for , searing pain . if such films deliberately make gazing unbearable , sustained overexposure in contemporary film can also function on a more metafilmic level , drawing our attention to the blind spot within our gaze . in a contemporary spin on the baroque allegory of life - as - dream and of life - as - stage , and in a play on the\nmonica michlin est mcf en \u00e9tudes am\u00e9ricaines \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9 paris - sorbonne o\u00f9 elle enseigne en litt\u00e9rature et civilisation am\u00e9ricaines contemporaines . ses recherches portent surtout sur la litt\u00e9rature africaine - am\u00e9ricaine contemporaine ( toni morrison , toni cade bambara , phyllis alesia perry , sapphire , langston hughes ) , le cin\u00e9ma am\u00e9ricain contemporain , et sur les s\u00e9ries t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9es am\u00e9ricaines contemporaines entre utopie et dystopie . monica michlin is an associate professor of american studies at paris - sorbonne , where she teaches contemporary us literature and civilization . her research is mainly in african - american literature ( toni morrison , toni cade bambara , phyllis alesia perry , sapphire , langston hughes ) , contemporary american film and contemporary american tv series between utopia and dystopia .\n4 \u201cfilm only gives [ the audiovisual data one perceives ] in effigy , inaccessible from the outset , in a primordial elsewhere ;

realist drama , and yet it is also unapologetically concerned with redemption - a theme that is just a style accessory in many movies , but is here absolutely authentic . it is a spiritual and even religious story , though religion of any sort is quite absent . in some scenes , it even had this unbeliever fearing for the lead character ' s immortal soul .\n, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics , the film received an average score of 81 , based on 19 reviews , indicating\nuniversal acclaim\n.\nthe dardenne brothers are religious men , but their detached style is so munificent their films defy easy categorization ; these works of art can just as easily be read as christian allegories or visions of socialist - humanist daring . indeed , every remarkable composition and movement in l\u2019enfant exudes compassion and remorse , evoking a profound sense of transcendental , existential , spiritual , or emotional unease ( take your pick , or take them all , because the brothers\u2019 vision is nothing if not absolute ) , and its incredible , gut - punching finale\u2014which follows what may be the most exciting and revelatory chase sequence the movies have seen in many moons\u2014can be looked at as a male pieta or , more simply ( but just as powerfully ) , an eruptive demonstration of a child finally becoming an adult . either way , the film is nothing short of a miracle .\nthe child , a belgian drama about a petty thief who sells his baby son , won the cannes film festival ' s prestigious palme d ' or on saturday at a red -

satisfied finger - wagging . rather , what interests the dardennes - - what invests their work with such terrific urgency - - is not only how bruno became the kind of man who would sell a child as casually as a slab of beef , but also whether a man like this , having committed such a repellent offense , can find redemption .\nl ' enfant ,\nwhich won the golden palm at cannes 2005 , is the new film by the dardenne brothers , jean -

eventually recovered by her father , who the authorities mistakenly believe had died at war . but of course it is really about how greedy and poorly humans can treat each other . since there are few inter - title cards used the viewer must pay close attention to the screen , at times the pace of the plot moves along an amazing pace and can be tough to follow . but it is worth it .\na little later he takes the baby for a walk in the fancy new pram he has bought with his recently acquired money . he does a little begging just for fun , and then he has an idea . we know he has an idea , because he makes a phone call . in all of these movies , people act as soon as they think , and this is why the movies become so fast and ironic . the characters in l\u2019enfant , as in la promesse and rosetta , are always busy , never at a loss . they have always already decided what to do , and are on their way to do it . that\u2019s what we see , that\u2019s what the films consist of : people on their way somewhere , not reflecting , not agonising , just getting on with it , whatever it is . there is just enough dialogue to clarify what\u2019s happening , but the dialogue is an explanation , not part of a decision or a thought process . when the boy in la promesse makes his promise to look after an african immigrant and her child , we scarcely hear his words and the words scarcely matter . later , when he helps the woman to escape from his father , who\u2019s running an illegal immigration scam , he says he can go against his father for her sake , but he can\u2019t inform on him : \u2018je ne suis pas d\u2019accord avec mon p\u00e8re , mais je ne suis pas un mouchard . \u2019 he\u2019s not looking for grace but he has found , and is acting on , a fragile but real sense of honour .\nin each film , deeper philosophical soul - searching happens . is it acceptable to confine the child in wild child if freedom is all that he\u2019s known ? can such a child learn the nuances of moral order , justice , right and wrong ? and is it ok to put fake dog poop on the ground at a presidential inauguration if it gets some laughs , as sinbad once did in first kid ? robert guillaume would seem to think not , but i would disagree with the former star of benson .\nanother point in favor of first kid is in character development , which is driven home by the sharp , cutting wit , such as when taylor calls the president\u2019s kid \u201cthe first wuss\u201d ( this tells us that the kid is not held in high esteem by his peers , and that the film was made when \u2018wuss\u2019 was still a socially acceptable word ) ; or when sinbad keeps wearing wacky ties , which establishes for us that sinbad\u2019s character shuns authority and also that he is wacky . truffaut failed in this regard .\nit seems to me essential that we don\u2019t know why bruno is crying , that we can\u2019t moralise this ending into some comfortable stuff about remorse and learning a lesson and the value of human life . perhaps he\u2019s crying because he\u2019s sorry for himself . perhaps he\u2019s just bewildered by the evaporation of his old ingenuity , by all the risk and fun running out when he thought they would go on for ever . sonia may be crying because bruno is , but she has plenty of other reasons too ; and the only good explanation for any of these tears is the whole film we have just seen .\nthe heartstopping vulnerability of this tiny baby is almost unendurable throughout the film . in a world where the safety of children now exceeds almost every other ethical consideration , it is stomach - turningly scary to see sonia riding on the back of a motor - scooter clutching little jimmy to her chest . extended , wordless scenes of people riding on bikes and scooters are a cliched mainstay of a certain type of european arthouse cinema , yet this sensationally upsetting image gives it new life . it sums up the danger and the rootlessness of sonia ' s existence ; it conveys her inability to imagine the future , yet also her poignant faith that things will be all right .\nthe ambiguity and irony of the film ' s title run further than this . bruno has a kind of parental role that he does take seriously ; he is a fagin figure to a gaggle of schoolkids who snatch purses and pick pockets , and he sells the goods to a fence he meets in a bar . and it is this fence , a well - dressed woman , who asks him if he is happy to be a father and if he knows about the big money to be made in the adoption black market . so bruno one day casually volunteers to take beloved little jimmy off sonia ' s hands for an innocuous\nwalk\n- to meet his contact .\nwonderfully subdued tale of a father ' s ( eventual ) love . in many ways a latter day oliver twist , focusing more on the pickpocketing aspect . it shows how far people will go for money and how it can also blind their common sense . bruno may be a bit naive in his actions but unfortunately we never see the real bruno until the last few frames . he only does the right thing when pushed into it due to very harsh circumstances . it ' s excellently shot , capturing the realistic harsh nature the film sets out to achieve . slow in some places and not so well developed in others it is for the most part a truly affecting tale that doesn ' t sentimental .\nfew other questions - - how we live and whether our lives have meaning - - are as important , which is why it ' s unsettling that few filmmakers bother to raise them . the dardennes started out making documentaries about strikes and factories , and that may help explain why they are so comfortable asking such basic questions . some of their critics are rather less comfortable with their subject matter , and it ' s instructive that the brothers ' work is often lumped under the rubric of the social - issue film , probably because their characters are working class or poor . implicit in this thinking is that poverty is strictly a social problem , an abstraction you read about in the papers or gingerly step over on the sidewalk , rather than a collective falling down on the job of being human .\ni just didn ' t feel enough for the main character to be that invested in his plight , especially considering he brought all of his drama on himself through his own actions . maybe that ' s the point of it , but if i want to watch an idiot make stupid decisions that effect other people ' s lives negatively , i ' ll keep watching reality television . and here ' s the other thing about italian neo - realism vs . the french style of the same thing ( yeah , i ' m getting all film schooly on your asses ) : at least the italians new how to frame . i get it , it ' s part of the slice of life thing , but try the camera on the tripod once and see what it looks like . paris is too beautiful of a city to be seen of out focus .\nthe mobile phone is important as an image and an instrument . it allows the people in this film to make their dodgy deals and connections , and it also links them to their harebrained wishes , allows them to realise their first ideas without time for second thoughts . this is just what happens to bruno , master , as he imagines , of adventure and survival in the grubby modern city . the place we are in is the belgian steel town of seraing , near li\u00e8ge , recurring scene of the dardenne brothers\u2019 movies . when people are not on the phone , it seems , they are on a bus , or whizzing around town on a moped . the high whine of the moped becomes something like the theme music of all these movies . heavy traffic , lorries and cars pounding across the screen , is another returning image . you begin to feel that just getting across the street is a deep skill , probably available only to people in their teens and early twenties .\nthese first impressions are not all wrong , and the dardenne brothers , belgian filmmakers who first received international notice with their devastating la promesse ( 1996 ) , make no secret of their cinematic debts . they usually throw bresson into the mix , and critics seem to feel some mention of the brothers\u2019 background in documentary film is obligatory . but they also have a background in theatre , which may help to explain why the first impressions don\u2019t tell the whole story , and why one\u2019s memories of the films make all quick and loose descriptions seem slightly off . the films turn out not to be grim , for example . their touch is too light for that , and the ironies too carefully managed . the characters don\u2019t brood over their misery \u2013 they are too busy inventing the wrong solutions . the programme notes for a recent austrian season of the dardennes\u2019 films say they are \u2018not just precise portrayals of society , they are also fables about the struggle for grace . \u2019 this is a bit too theological but it\u2019s a move in the right direction .\nhere follows the second long walking scene in the movie \u2013 the earlier one was bruno pushing the pram , first with and then without the baby , up and down the streets of seraing , past the shops , across a bridge , through the traffic . now bruno pushes his friend\u2019s moped through a similar scene . the thing is heavy , and i seem to have missed the reason why he is not riding it . as ever , he has made up his mind and knows what he is doing . but we shan\u2019t know what it is until he does it . in fact , bruno , like the boy in la promesse , has found a sense of honour he didn\u2019t know he had , and is on his way to the police station , because he can\u2019t let his juvenile friend take the rap alone . the movie ends with bruno in prison , and sonia visiting him . he asks how the baby is and sonia says he\u2019s fine . they don\u2019t have much to say to each other , and bruno starts to cry . sonia cries too , and the film is over .\nbruno takes a while to get there . his idea , and the subject of his phone call , is obviously to sell the baby ; and he does . the great scene in the movie occurs when he tells sonia about it . we expect some wily , picaresque explanation , another example of bruno\u2019s talent for improvisation , but he just tells sonia the truth . partly , we imagine , because he likes her and doesn\u2019t want to lie to her , and partly because he doesn\u2019t think there\u2019s a problem . we can have another one , he says : \u2018on en fera un autre . \u2019 sonia passes out and he takes her to the hospital . the plot of the film becomes quite tricky at this point , and totally undoes any idea of simple documentary sequence or observation . sonia tells the hospital staff what bruno has done ; he manages to get the baby back , but is still in trouble with the police . he talks his way out of that , but now owes the baby - dealing crooks for their \u2018additional expenses\u2019 . sonia won\u2019t talk to him , and throws him out of the flat . he gets one of his juvenile friends to snatch a purse for him , and both of them are pursued by respectable belgians eager to make a citizen\u2019s arrest . bruno escapes , but they catch his friend .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release

bruno cries , and that ' s that .\nbruno and sonia share an addiction to mobile phones , and this too is a part of their transient , uncommitted , provisional attitude to everything . the cellphone is a vital possession , the only possession that appears to mean anything , and a vital facilitator of their unmoored existence . one of the very first things sonia does is demand the return of her mobile phone charger from the people to whom bruno has illegally sub - let her welfare apartment . mobile phones are vitally important to making discreet contacts in the world of receiving stolen goods , and ultimately in the cloak - and - dagger world of black - market adoption . bruno has to use his cellphone to arrange a drop - off for his priceless merchandise without seeing his buyers ' faces ; the phone is a symbol of moral void , and makes possible an extraordinary scene in which the baby is left alone in a shabby room , and is then , through a horrible anti - miracle , revealed to have been transformed into a shameful wodge of euros . it reminded me , in reverse , of a novel i hadn ' t picked up in years : george eliot ' s silas marner , in which the miser ' s savings are stolen and replaced with a baby .\nthe child has what many movies of all genres lack : a satisfying and ingenious ending . bruno ' s desperate situation with jimmy leads him into a frantic criminal endeavour with one of his artful dodgers . the final scenes with the police and the authorities are subtly but profoundly moving : they show how it is possible for bruno , however incorrigible he appears , to change . even though his motives for doing this are ambiguous , the choice he makes and the price he has to pay are both very real . the child has nothing to do with miserablism , and

blowing effect on people that bonnie and clyde\u2019s gory violence had or the dirty dozen\u2019s indictment on religion , simple cinematic techniques that are taken for granted today . all crime films that followed point blank owe a debt to it , a film which pushed the boundaries visually and technically , informing us of the importance of artistic production design and the impact of onscreen violence .\nin the article below we may give the impression that director john boorman was responsible for the screenplay of point blank . the credited screenwriters are alex jacobs with david and rafe newhouse .\nvisually arresting , incredibly intelligent and genuinely influential on the craft , john boorman\u2019s point blank deserves its title of being an american cinematic classic , a film which dared to push the boundaries of what could be done with the genre and doing so successfully , though sadly overshadowed by the mainstream success of bonnie and clyde . a violent punch to the face of generic crime cinema , point blank is one film that deserves a new generation of film - watchers to look back on , not only to reflect on its craft but also because it\u2019s just damn entertaining .\nmuch like the great train robbery , point blank has had a subtle but revolutionary impact on cinema , most notably the american crime genre and introducing french new wave tactics into mainstream narratives .\nfar be it from yours truly to take issue with another writer\u2019s opinion of a film \u2013 as if i\u2019d ever do such a thing ! \u2013 and in fact i for the most part agree with tom huddleston\u2019s very favourable assessment , in time out , of the bfi rerelease of john boorman \u2019s classic point blank ( 1967 ) . but i mention his review here because , intriguingly , it raises as its one reservation something which i happen to feel is one of the film\u2019s great strengths .\ndirected by the crown prince of schlock , william castle , ( 1967 ) was an adaptation of westlake ' s mafia caper of the same name . the film starred sid caesar and robert ryan and gave a young richard pryor his movie debut\nthe other film is herk harvey\u2019s carnival of souls , another movie which explores a protagonist who has escaped death and now exists in a hazy unreliable reality . point blank\u2019s dream logic is backed up by the film\u2019s plot \u2013 a simple revenge story where lee marvin tears through his enemies , surviving death and getting the ladies .\nif you\u2019ve watched payback , you might yourself quite surprised about where this story goes . payback was content to finally give its antihero a happy ending , but the ending in point blank is much , much different and if the remake had tried to replicate it , i\u2019m sure the studio would shot them down . point blank \u2018s ending left me pretty surprised and bewildered at first and it wouldn\u2019t shock me if many viewers found themselves seriously pissed off about it . however , it was only after thinking over everything and watching the film a second time that i figured out what they were trying to do . if the film\u2019s ending makes you hungry to watch the film again and discover what you may have overlooked the first time , then i\u2019d say it\u2019s done its job . point blank may be a first - rate crime movie first and foremost , but it\u2019s also a very complex and multi - layered film . that may explain why some people didn\u2019t know what to make of it in 1967 and why the film\u2019s reputation and legacy has only increased at a very slow and gradual pace over the years . today , point blank is considered a classic by some , but it took a really long time for it to get there . so , in the end , point blank is one of those rare films you watch just for the purpose of being entertained , but then you find yourself surprised by just how many different interpretations you can make of the whole thing .\nas soon as justus d . barnes fired point - blank at the audience in edwin s . porter\u2019s influential the great train robbery , the idea of violence to control an audience was introduced .\ninspirations and influences : coming at a turning point in hollywood history as the studio system was breaking down , point blank is generally credited with kicking off the entire american neo - noir movement , taking its cue from the french new wave ' s interest in the genre , notably godard ' s alphaville ( 1965 ) . along with films like bonnie and clyde ( 1967 ) and bullitt ( 1968 ) , point blank also echoed a new mood in us cinema for fetishising blood and violence . its vision of organised crime as a shadowy corporate operation was , however , swiftly eclipsed by the godfather ( 1972 ) and the idea of hoodlum as\nfamily\n.\nwhat is the best way for a film to show the power of a character ? is it to retain the power within the narrative world and show it be all encompassing , or is it better to show it to have control over specific qualities of the medium itself ? one of the best examples of this debate to be realised in cinematic aesthetics is in john boorman\u2019s 1967 film point blank . this isn\u2019t just an excellent example because of how effectively brutal the lead character is shown to be , but how the way his power is presented hints at questions about the film\u2019s narrative reality far beyond that of the norm of the film\u2019s genre .\nfilm inquiry is a progressive , independent film magazine that aims to redefine film journalism . we publish in - depth , high quality articles written by a diverse group of people ; without falsely baiting your attention , we offer genuine , passionate insight into the world of film .\nthere are many questions left unanswered at the conclusion of point blank . however , the surreal atmosphere of point blank , as well as its disorientating narrative structure certainly suggests that the entire film , from the moment walker is shot by reece at alcatraz , until the very last frame , has been the dream of a dying man , lying wounded and convulsing on the floor of a dank prison cell . indeed , the last scene in point blank seems to reinforce the notion of \u201cit was all a dream\u201d . shot from fort point , the camera pans up and across to the shadowy ominous spectre of alcatraz . the camera continues to press closer to alcatraz as the end credits start to roll . is this shot the final indication that walker has now ceased to exist ? has he died in that prison cell at alcatraz ?\nwhat boorman and veteran cinematographer philip h . lathrop do with the story , however , is what makes \u201cpoint blank\u201d so bewitchingly indelible . they treat the film\u2019s plot like the revenge hallucination of a dying man , where walker\u2019s past slips into and out of his present via sights and sounds .\npoint blank ( 1967 ) is a early feature by john boorman who would go on to direct deliverance ( 1972 ) , excalibur ( 1981 ) , and the general ( 1998 ) . it is an excellent noir about a man who ' s betrayed and left for dead who goes after the outfit that owes him money . point blank is a tightly constructed thriller with brillient montage and mise - en - scene . the film does a good job at showing the phychodelic colors of late 1960 ' s san fransico . lee marvin in this movie shows why he is one of the best hollywood tough guys of all time . it is much better than the remake payback ( 1999 ) because of lee marvin ' s presence and the masterful editing and camera work of the film .\nlike most great films that fared poorly upon initial release , point blank has become a definitive cult classic , a film whose reputation has grown incredibly over the years due to its groundbreaking avant - garde techniques that it introduced into mainstream american cinema , and just for how incredibly unique it is .\nafter point blank , boorman and marvin remained close friends ( until marvin\u2019s death in 1987 ) . the film boorman made after point blank , hell in the pacific , also starred lee marvin . set during the second world war , hell in the pacific is a film that echoes marvin\u2019s own traumatic war experiences . marvin plays an unnamed american pilot who is marooned with a japanese navy captain ( toshiro mifune ) on a small - uninhabited island in the pacific ocean . in addition , boorman also made a television documentary in 1998 about marvin entitled : lee marvin : a personal portrait by john boorman .\npoint blank , at 46 years old , is still harsh , affecting and peculiarly under - seen . it\u2019s a classic of the crime genre , a streamlined revenge tale that possesses unforeseen power and features one of hollywood\u2019s hardest leading men playing probably his meanest role . john boorman\u2019s film is a masterpiece .\na monumentally important screenplay . dear every screenwriter / filmmaker , read alexander jacobs\u2019 screenplay for point blank [ pdf ] . ( note : for educational and research purposes only ) . the dvd / blu - ray of the film is available at amazon and other online retailers . absolutely our highest recommendation .\nera but exhibits several of its classic themes . referred to as the movie about a hit man with a serious case of antonioni - itis , it cleaned up in 1967 alongside warners ' other popular bloodbath ,\nbonnie and clyde shocked and thrilled the world when it was released in 1967 . but the legacy of this savage classic is that it opened the floodgates for all forms of screen violence over the next 40 years\npoint blank ( john boorman , 1967 ) is a crime film that centres on walker ( lee marvin ) , a violent criminal who seeks vengeance when his friend and partner in crime mal reece ( john vernon in his first feature film role ) double - crosses him after a robbery at the old disused prison on alcatraz island in san francisco bay . reece shoots walker at point blank range , leaving him for dead , convulsing in the corner of one of the prison cells . reece then takes walker\u2019s share of the robbery money ( $ 93 , 000 ) . he also takes walker\u2019s wife lynne ( sharon acker ) . yet walker somehow manages to survive the gunshot wounds . seemingly recovered , walker rampages through the remainder of the film seeking revenge for the betrayal of his friend and his wife . he also wants to retrieve the $ 93 , 000 he is owed from the robbery .\nthe most notable aspect of point blank is its dream - like erratic editing style , which gives the film its fluid european feel and delivers its narrative in an unconventional non - linear fashion . the film is delivered in a linear motion , yet the frequent flashbacks / callbacks to previous scenes gives quite a disorientating feeling that makes it feel like it is being delivered via clashing timelines .\nalso notable in this scene is the colour of the set design . both the clothes worn by walker and lynne , as well as the colour tones of the furniture and the curtains in the lounge room of the apartment consist of various shades of grey . boorman points out that he decided to begin point blank by using cold colours , with each scene incorporating one particular colour scheme . as the film progresses , these colours gradually warm up . [ 17 ] for example , later in point blank there is a scene that takes place in the office of the organization . the organization\u2019s henchmen all wear suits in various shades of green . the d\u00e9cor in the office is also in a range of green hues . towards the end of the film there are scenes in which walker wears a brown suit and a dark yellow shirt , with the sets also containing variations on the same colour scheme . by the end of point blank , walker\u2019s suit jacket and shirt are a reddish colour . boorman emphasizes that , while these various colour schemes within scenes provide point blank with a sense of unity , they also give the film a kind of stylized look ; the impression that the events taking place are not quite real . [ 18 ] significantly , boorman has cited italian director michelangelo antonioni\u2019s red desert ( 1964 ) as a major influence on his use of colour for the set designs in point blank . [ 19 ]\nand there\u2019s very little in his filmography that\u2019s skippable . his 1965 debut film \u201c\nwhich means , of course , that point blank , for all its expertly staged action sequences , is no ordinary crime thriller . indeed , it has at least as much in common with citizen kane ( 1941 ) or last year in marienbad ( 1962 ) as it has to do with crime films like little caesar ( 1931 ) , the maltese falcon ( 1941 ) , kiss me deadly ( 1955 ) or even bonnie and clyde ( 1967 ) .\nin a famous scene from the film , marvin walks through a deserted terminal at lax airport , the sound of his footsteps magnified on the film\u2019s soundtrack . in boorman\u2019s words , the \u201cpolished brogues beat a knell on the concrete floor , the rhythm of the reaper\u201d . after marvin died in 1987 his widow pam invited boorman to choose a memento from his belongings . boorman selected marvin\u2019s point blank brogues .\nthe success of catch us if you can took boorman to hollywood . starring lee marvin , point blank tells the story of walker , a criminal who goes on a quest for revenge after being shot and left to die by his partner .\nsince his first bbc bristol television documentary programmes in the early 1960s , john boorman \u2019s work has been characterised by its originality , ambition and stylistic invention . his first american feature , point blank ( 1967 ) is a landmark crime movie that reworks the conventions of the genre by fusing hollywood action with a european stylistic sensibility , while deliverance ( 1972 ) , the visceral story of a weekend canoeing expedition that takes a decidedly dark turn , is another modern classic .\ncleveland , ohio -

guess everyone to his own advantage . it could give a reason for why point blank plays out in a high reality , always conscious of its own existence as a movie . a death - dream would also be appropriate for a film so obsessed with memory , one that\u2019s structured so oddly , like a frenzied mind firing off in numerous directions at once . point blank is a tough crime thriller , yes , but it\u2019s also a weird and unsettling one .\nsharon acker receives a special\nintroducing\ncredit on the film - exactly as she had on the british film\nlucky jim\n, a full ten years earlier .\nthe editing in point blank is extremely important , as the dream logic that it creates gives the film its mythical feeling . usually in films , dream sequences are a cheap way for filmmakers to either explore a character\u2019s psyche or backstory , as they allow the director to throw away any logic / basis of reality , allowing them to pull in any setting , character or prop without any organic setups or subtle storytelling . this is not the case here , and to highlight my point we should look at another film which nailed cinematic dream logic .\nalex is a 24 year - old west australian who has a slight obsession with film . when he ' s not frowning at australia ' s slack attitude towards film and film - making , he ' s attempting to crack into the prestigious business of show , by making amateur comedies with his friends . with his dvd collection and wealth of film knowledge in tow , alex continues to write about film , something he knows gets the ladies .\nthis gives point blank a vague sense of existing in alfred hitchcock\u2019s vertigo image of san francisco ( where much of point blank\u2019s action takes place ) , its main character trapped in a weird unreality that constantly reflects his own damaged psyche . johnny mandel\u2019s eerie score , which sounds as though it belongs in a psychological horror rather than a hard - boiled noir , only adds to the disturbing vibe . the colour scheme , too , has a pop arty edge that breaks out at unexpected moments ( one striking shot set in lynne\u2019s all - grey house sees walker staring down into her bathtub , where smashed shampoos and scents are coagulating into a swirling rainbow soup ) . bright contrast colours are seen creeping into lifeless surroundings , matching for visual splendour point blank\u2019s greatest achievement : its editing .\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\nand when lee marvin kills a mattress , that mattress remains fucking killed . \u201cpoint blank\u201d arrived during a particularly violent hollywood year , when \u201cbonnie and clyde , \u201d \u201cin cold blood , \u201d and another marvin vehicle , \u201cthe dirty dozen , \u201d made onscreen murder return critical and box - office dividends . boorman\u2019s contribution has more in common with other 1967 efforts : the insurgent mythos of \u201cthe good , the bad and the ugly , \u201d the political cynicism of \u201cla chinoise , \u201d and the modernistic chill of \u201cle samoura\u00ef . \u201d this odd combo of pulpy plot and european experimentation is what makes \u201cpoint blank\u201d the \u201clast year at marienbad\u201d of renegade hard - ass flicks and a wonder it ever got made in the first place , and why its elliptical , fugitive potency can still intoxicate .\npoint blank follows a wronged criminal who seeks revenge for a job that he was betrayed over . on his journey to finding the money he is owed , he visits different people from his past and resolves the underlying issues surrounding their double - crossing nature . unlike other films of this ilk , the reality of the film ( a hazy san francisco in the late sixties ) is ambiguous and daringly so . walker , played with robotic precision by lee marvin , is extremely violent but is also knowingly aware of the questions surrounding his very existence . point blank is therefore one of the few crime films that openly questions existentialism .\nthe national film registry has added 25 more titles to their list of film classics that will ensure they are preserved for generations to come . as usual , it ' s an appropriately eclectic mix of titles spanning from the silent era to recent years and includes some admirably quirky choices . among them : ridley scott ' s\nblade runner\nand john boorman ' s\npoint blank\n. click here for more ( and the full list . )\nwhen the first cut of point blank was submitted , executives at metro -

cool killers .\na ferociously sexy fever dream of fragmented memories , point blank is 60s post - modernism dressed up as crime film . possibly an inspiration for the terminator , lee marvin ' s walker is a specter with no feeling or human trace , except the mission to recover exactly $ 93 , 000 . if cinema ' s power lies in the bending of time , boorman like resnais coerces multitudinous interpretations in this mesmerizing , extraordinary work .\nin point blank , director john boorman keeps lee marvin\u2019s silent terror walker in the shadows , right up until the unforgettably haunting last shot . you fear for walker\u2019s opponents , a cowardly john vernon among them \u2013 he\u2019s the bogeyman in his own film . he\u2019s a stylised mythical spectre of whom his own wife lynne ( sharon acker ) doesn\u2019t know his first name , a potentially comical conceit if it weren\u2019t for one thing : there\u2019s a strong possibility walker dies in the opening minutes of the film , and what follows is his exaggerated revenge fantasy .\nin john boorman\u2019s 1967 crime film \u201cpoint blank\u201d lee marvin \u2019s walker ( just walker ) gets left for dead in the opening minutes . his partner mal ( john vernon ) shoots him to abscond with the score from a recent heist , and he makes off with walker\u2019s wife lynne ( sharon acker ) too . sometime later , a recuperated walker heads down to los angeles , where mal was bought back into the criminal organization ( just the organization ) . walker\u2019s gonna kill his way up the underworld corporate ladder until he finds the head white guy in charge willing to give him his money\u2014even if it means using his wife\u2019s leggy sister chris ( angie dickinson ) as bait . first stop : lynne\u2019s place , where he expects to find mal .\nover the years , john boorman has emphasized that point blank is very much a study of lee marvin . born in 1924 , marvin joined the marines as an impressionable 17 year old and fought in the pacific war . marvin was to be brutalized by his war experiences . the japanese ambushed his platoon during the battle of saipan in 1944 . marvin was shot and wounded in the buttocks by japanese fire . as boorman explains , \u201chis whole platoon was wiped out , except for one other person . and he felt himself to be a coward lying there , and he never lost that . it was survival guilt \u2013 and it didn\u2019t help that he had been shot in the arse . not because he was running away , but because he was lying down when he was wounded . \u201d [ 8 ] boorman maintains that , in one sense , point blank is about lee marvin . a connection can be made between the brutality of marvin\u2019s traumatic war experiences and the way in which he expresses himself through violence on the screen in point blank . boorman points out that marvin was always trying to recapture the humanity he felt he had lost during his war experiences . the story in point blank is all about marvin trying to recapture this humanity . in the film marvin ( walker ) is a dead man . he comes back ( or appears to come back ) from the dead and tries to find his humanity .

[ 5 ] as boorman explained , \u201c\u2026 . i met the producer , judd bernard ; he showed me a script , which was dreadful , but whose hero fascinated me . he\u2019d also given it to lee marvin . a few months later , i met marvin in london , where he was filming\nthere ' s something preternaturally destructive about lee marvin , something dangerous . \u201cyou\u2019re a very bad man [ . . . ] a very destructive man , \u201d spits a threatened carroll o\u2019connor , with the sweaty haste of a hypochondriac , in john boorman \u2019s point blank ( 1967 ) , a split - second after marvin blasts a telephone into oblivion with his hand cannon . o\u2019connor could be describing any of marvin\u2019s roles , from the stoical hitman in don siegel \u2019s the killers ( 1964 ) to his gun - for - hire in richards brooks\u2019s the professionals ( 1966 ) to his sergeant leading a gaggle of undisciplined men sentenced to die in robert aldrich \u2019s the dirty dozen ( 1967 ) . he exuded an odd kind of menace , a disciplined minatory authority . the six - foot - two actor possessed a weathered , world - weary malaise and uncalculated brutality that suggested internal turmoil , an indignation that manifested in abrupt bursts of violence . for all the pain he inflicted on screen , he seemed to be carrying his own , an ineffable kind ,\nnone of which is to say point blank doesn\u2019t get to have its gangster movie cake , too . you get lee marvin in your film , you also get macho posturing and efficient bursts of violence , like the moment walker invades lynne\u2019s home looking for vernon\u2019s mal reese ( the best friend that betrayed him ) , blasting his six - gun in slo - mo before wordlessly settling on the couch . part of point blank\u2019s initial appeal is that walker\u2019s unrelenting prowess means he simply cannot be defeated \u2013 he evades sniper bullets and police attention , only to go on and get his man . there\u2019s a brilliant sequence where walker coolly strolls past security into reese\u2019s fortified home , effortlessly taking out hired goons before facing off against the big boss himself . it\u2019s a remarkably assured moment , so assured that it doesn\u2019t quite make sense that this is only boorman\u2019s second feature .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\n) , and had praised the film in a review . moreover , such was the influence of kael that her positive remarks about\nhowever , one scene in particular sticks out from the film visually and aurally in presenting its main character as someone so undeniably powerful that he affects the aesthetic logic of the film . it also enhances the idea that walker is someone who is more unusual and unnatural as a living person in the narrative world of the film ; perhaps even a ghost or someone sent back from purgatory .\nthe common interpretation of the bizarre journey of point blank is that we\u2019re witnessing walker\u2019s death dream , with the idea that he died in alcatraz prison and everything we see is a fantastical revenge fantasy dreamt by the dying protagonist . the film backs up this theory quite frequently with its narrative and stylistic choices , such as the impossibility of walker surviving the gunshots and being able to swim back to shore , his lack of ability to communicate with those around him , and the disjointed narrative that frequently contradicts itself .\nrationally speaking , the story makes no sense , as walker is twice shot point - blank in an alcatraz cell . he then hobbles painfully into the currents of san francisco bay that routinely sweep even strong swimmers out to sea . but our walker unaccountably turns up a year later with a variable wardrobe of undefined origin , to make short work of one mob functionary after another .\nboorman\u2019s original intention was to make point blank entirely in san francisco . however , after visiting san francisco for the first time boorman realized it wasn\u2019t the kind of locale that he wanted for the film . as he explains , \u201ci\u2019d never been there , but when i saw the city , i realized it wasn\u2019t at all the kind of setting i was looking for . it was all soft , romantic , pastel shades \u2013 a very beautiful place \u2013 but the complete opposite of what i wanted for the film . i wanted my setting to be hard , cold and , in a sense , futuristic . i wanted an empty , sterile world , for which los angeles was absolutely right . \u201d [ 10 ] but boorman had to fight against the studio , against the producers , and even against the screenwriter alexander jacobs to get his way . he finally won out because filming in los angles was going to be less expensive . [ 11 ] ultimately , point blank was made for a modest 3 million us dollars .

provoking , and overwhelmingly sad , jean - pierre melville\u2019s 1969 army of shadows was released theatrically for the first time in the united states in 2006 , to nearly universal critical accla\u2026\narmy of shadows was the third and final film melville made that directly involved the german occupation of france , but it was also made during the middle of his gangster pictures as well and if looking closely army of shadows blends a little of both of those themes . the film was adapted by joseph kessel ' s book army of shadows which was an account of the author ' s experience in the french resistance which was published in london in 1943 . at age 20 melville was drafted in the army in 1937 , and changed his name from grumbach to that of his favorite american writer and kept the name after the war . melville was involved in the resistance between 1941 and 1943 , was jailed in spain and his brother was killed trying to reach him . he then joined the free french in north africa in 1943 and took part in the italian and french liberation campaigns in 1944 . even though service with the free french has never been disputed some have been skeptical on melville ' s connection to the resistance .\njean - pierre melville ' s\narmy of shadows\nis about members of the french resistance who persist in the face of despair . rarely has a film shown so truly that place in the heart where hope lives with fatalism . it is not a film about daring raids and exploding trains , but about cold , hungry , desperate men and women who move invisibly through the nazi occupation of france . their army is indeed made of shadows : they use false names , they have no addresses , they can be betrayed in an instant by a traitor or an accident . they know they will probably die .\nand his memories of those times were clearly draped in the dark noirish shadows of those desperate circumstances . in any case melville had the right idea about movies [ 8 ] :\nfor more on melville ' s career , see : diane christian and bruce jackson ( eds . ) , \u201cconversations about great films : army of shadows / l\u2019arm\u00e9e des ombres\u201d , goldenrod handouts , buffalo film seminars , xv : 6 , the center for studies in american culture , state university of new york .\n) , a civil engineer and one of the leaders of\narmy of shadows\n( the french resistance ) , is sent to a concentration camp where he meets a young communist who offers to help him escape . he accepts the offer . shortly after , philippe is arrested and transported to hotel majestic , the gestapo headquarters in paris .\nmelville ' s film army of shadows was very faithful to the novel and melville realized that many of the resistance fighters who he based his characters on in the film have died probably not knowing their actions contributed to their side winning the war . gerbier is the main character in army of shadows and even though you hear other character ' s first person voice over during the story it usually is from gerbier . the actor lino ventura who plays gerbier creates a remarkable and subtle character who is intelligent , mysterious , calm , and full of intensity . melville once said that no one taught ventura how to say lines , but he said them more convincingly than anyone else .\nby then he had already directed two other films about the war , along with some of the thrillers for which he is justly renowned , like\nbob le flambeur .\nbut he clearly wasn ' t finished with the fight of his life and not long after making\narmy of shadows\nhe exclaimed ,\nthe war period was awful , horrible marvelous .\nmade four decades after the release of melville ' s movie , robert guediguian ' s the army of crime makes for a fascinating comparison with army of shadows . guediguian ' s movie employs a much more colorful palette than shadow ' s monochromatic hue , and is considerably more blood - thirsty , featuring an escalating range of violent range of set - pieces depicting resistance attacks on german occupation forces . both movies depict the resistance as weakened by internal tensions and betrayal from within . in fact , guediguian is much more explicit in his portrayal of the pervasiveness and effectiveness of collaboration during the war . both movies are concerned with the corrosive effects of danger and violence on their protagonists .\nafter a quiet december , criterion will kick off the new year with renewed energy , as five very varied titles have been announced for blu - ray release in january . on january 11 , the army of shadows ( l ' arm\u00e9e des ombres ; jean - pierre melville , 1969 ) and robinson crusoe . . .\nit ' s certainly true - as has been often pointed out - that army of the shadows owes much to melville ' s gangster films , in the particular attention it pays to the same stately codes of loyalty , sacrifice and honour that the director put to such brilliant effect in le samourai and le cercle rouge , the two films he made either side of this . melville makes no concession whatever to the tide of nouvelle vague - inspired realism that was sweeping world cinema in the late 60s , and in some ways army in the shadows is as stiffly arranged as any of the old black - and - white films that melville himself idolised . but in its devotion to , and forging of , the mythology surrounding the french resistance , it remains a work of moving ideological commitment as well as beautifully detailed orchestration .\nin a welcome surprise criterion releases jean - pierre melville\u0092s army of shadows on blu - ray after many feared it would be the next dvd in the collection to fall victim to \u0093oop\u0094 status after the last couple of waves of studio canal titles criterion lost . criterion again presents the film in its original aspect ratio of 1 . 85 : 1 on this dual -

pierre melville discusses what inspired him to shoot army of shadows , how he interacts with the actors he likes to work with , etc . in french , with optional english subtitles . ( 5 min , 1080i ) .\nin kessel\u2019s book , ger\u00adbier , who believes he\u2019s going to be killed by a firing squad , thinks , \u201ci am going to die . . . and i\u2019m not afraid . . . it is because i\u2019m too limited , too much of an animal to believe it . but if i don\u2019t believe it until the last possible moment , until the ultimate limit , i shall never die . what a discovery ! \u201d melville uses the entire text as a voice - over , one of many spoken by gerbier and other characters . as much as kessel\u2019s concept of fiction as disguise , this idea affects the shape of army of shadows and the late gangster films that bracket it . the extreme elasticity of subjective time , particularly in the face of death\u2014of subjectivity defined by that elasticity rather than by conventional point - of - view shots\u2014is what makes melville\u2019s films , and army of shadows in particular , not merely exquisite abstractions or exercises in style but graphs of human consciousness grappling with mortality .\nnotwithstanding what vincendeau refers to as \u201ccontradictory testimony\u201d around melville\u2019s resistance activities , army of shadows has the quality of lived experience like no other film in the director\u2019s oeuvre . by comparison , even the most dazzling and affecting of the gangster films\u2014 le doulos ( 1962 ) , le cercle rouge , le samoura\u00ef \u2014seem like game playing . they transcend genre but not their own fetishistic defenses . ( this criticism is , of course , relative . one has only to compare melville\u2019s genre excursions to quentin tarantino\u2019s to understand the gravity of melville\u2019s project . ) and while melville told nogueira that the attack on army of shadows by some french critics for presenting the resistance fighters as if they were characters in a gangster film was \u201cabsurd , \u201d he himself made another kind of connection : \u201ctragedy is the immediacy of death that you get in the underworld or in a particular time such as war . the characters from army of shadows are tragic characters . you know that from the very beginning . \u201d those who come to the film with expectations of romantic heroes and daring action sequences that culminate in uplifting endings , that is , will be bewildered and disappointed by melville\u2019s rigorous focus on process rather than action , and by the pessimism that tempers his characters as individuals and comrades in arms .\nmelville ' s world is a world of broad shoulders and heavy burdens , shaved and grizzled faces , the civilized and the savage . it is a world in which a man ' s hat is an emblem of his professionalism , part of the armor he dons for battle . when a resistance member walks into a bo\u00eete in\narmy of shadows ,\nand melville shows us a row of nazi caps neatly lined on a shelf , it ' s as if he were showing us a cache of weapons .\nas someone who was never able to play the early fire emblem games , shadows of valentia seems more than just a retread of familiar ground , and with fun little changes to the formula to challenge the tactician in me .\narmy of shadows was the third and final film in which melville dealt directly with the german occupation of france\u2014 le silence de la mer ( 1949 ) , his first feature , and l\u00e9on morin , pr\u00eatre ( 1961 ) were also set during that time\u2014and his only film devoted to the resistance . but it was made in the middle of his stunning late run of gangster films , preceded by le deuxi\u00e8me souffle ( 1966 ) and le samoura\u00ef ( 1967 ) and followed by le cercle rouge ( 1970 ) and un flic ( 1972 ) , and it has more in common with them , formally , narratively , and philosophically , than with the earlier war films . even if you do not conclude , as so many now do , that army of shadows is melville\u2019s most significant film\u2014his signature work\u2014and certainly one of the greatest films of the sixties , it will at least change the ways in which you make meaning of his surrounding work .\nthe film is adapted from joseph kessel\u2019s army of shadows , an account of the author\u2019s experience in the french resistance , published in london in 1943 . born in argentina , to a lithuanian jewish family , and educated in france , kessel was a journalist , novelist , and screenwriter ( he also famously wrote the source novel for luis bu\u00f1uel\u2019s belle de jour ) , and army of shadows reflected this multiple training . \u201ceverything had to be accurate , and at the same time , nothing must be recognizable , \u201d kessel wrote in his preface . in other words , fiction , as a protective strategy , was applied to a work of reportage . in rui nogueira\u2019s melville on melville , the director says that he read kessel\u2019s book when he , too , was in london in 1943 , and immediately wanted to film it . he also seems to have taken kessel\u2019s method as the guiding principle for his entire oeuvre , explaining to nogueira , in a different context : \u201cwhat people often assume to be imagination in my films is really memory , things i have noticed walking down the street or being with people\u2014transposed , of course , because i have a horror of showing things i have actually experienced . \u201d the filmmaker whose subject was underground man assumed as a creative artist the strategies of secrecy , subterfuge , and masquerade that were life and death matters for his characters , whether gangsters or r\u00e9sistants . the meshing of this method of constructing story and identity in film ( and perhaps in life as well ) with the behavior of characters as seemingly different from each other as gerbier in army of shadows and corey in le cercle rouge largely accounts for the surprising emotional resonance and profound sense of unease across all of melville\u2019s films , but most powerfully in army of shadows and the late gangster cycle\u2014works that are as precise , distanced , and abstract as a game of chess .\nthe timing of army of shadows\u2019 s initial french release , in the fall of 1969 , could not have been worse . most serious french critics , including those of the influential cahiers du cin\u00e9ma , savaged the film for what they saw as its glorification of general charles de gaulle , who , then president , was despised as the betrayer of the may 1968 student uprising . de gaulle , in fact , is a marginal figure in this french resistance saga , and melville depicts him with an irony that makes it clear his heroism would not outlive the extreme circumstances in which the war had placed him . given the enormous sway cahiers du cin\u00e9ma held over american art - film programmers and distributors during the heyday of the french new wave , it\u2019s not surprising that the film was ignored here for so long . in the midnineties , however , cahiers du cin\u00e9ma published a reconsideration of melville , and particularly of army of shadows , which led to a restoration of the original 35 mm camera negative by studiocanal and a rapturously received rialto pictures release in the united states .\njean - pierre melville\u0092s masterpiece about the french resistance went unreleased in the united states for thirty - seven years , before its triumphant theatrical debut in 2006 . atmospheric and gripping , army of shadows is melville\u0092s most personal film , featuring lino ventura , paul meurisse , jean - pierre cassel , and the incomparable simone signoret as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their own brand of honor in their fight against evil .\ndark as pitch and utterly without compromise ,\narmy of shadows\ntraces the harrowing feats of a small band of resistance fighters operating during the occupation . melville first read joseph kessel ' s slim novel of the same title in 1943 , the year it was published , and for the next quarter - century nurtured a desire to turn it into a film . ( cinephiles will appreciate that kessel also wrote the novel\nbelle de jour .\n) he finally did so in 1969 .\nwhen french director jean - pierre melville ' s movie about the french resistance , army of shadows , was released in 1969 , it was met with critical and box - office indifference . its languid pace , long set - pieces , bleak tone and sombre style made it unpopular . politically , the movie ' s reception was controversial and hostile . for melville , himself a former resistance member , had daringly upturned the conventional view of the resistance that had dominated france since 1945 - a national movement of brave men and women unified in their determination to overthrow nazi occupation , supported and admired by the french population at large . it wasn ' t until the end of the century - decades after melville ' s death in 1973 - that army of shadows at last received the acclaim it deserved , and the recognition that it was probably the best film ever made about the resistance movement .\nwhy people chose to join the resistance is a question that historians must strive to answer , and they do so with caution and trepidation because there is no simple answer . if fiction offers far greater freedom to speculate on the motivations of resisters , two of the most potent films to grapple with this issue , army of shadows and lacombe , lucien , jettison a psychological approach . the first presumes that resistance was necessary and focuses on the moral dilemmas such engagement posed for participants ; the second famously proposes that the decision to resist or to collaborate was the result of circumstances rather than ideological commitment . whether one agrees with this proposition or not , lacombe , lucien just like army of shadows , raises the important question of choice and what it entailed , as our two specialists demonstrate . students like to imagine how they would have responded and need sophisticated ways to think about it . the resistance continues to attract writers and film - makers , as witnessed by the release of ismael ferroukhi\u2019s les hommes libres ( free men ) in september which , like other recent films , seeks to highlight a little - known aspect of parisian resistance . michael lonsdale plays si kaddour ben ghabrit , rector of the paris mosque , who saw it as his humanitarian duty to hide jews and resisters , and tahar rahim , of the prophet fame , a young algerian who drifts , somewhat lucien lacombe - like , into collaboration before experiencing moral qualms and a change of heart . unlike the despair of army of shadows or the cynicism of lacombe , lucien , and without being maudlin , the film offers a psychologically credible depiction of engagement .\nthis masterpiece by jean - pierre melville about the french resistance went unreleased in the united states for thirty - seven years , until its triumphant theatrical debut in 2006 . atmospheric and gripping , army of shadows is melville\u2019s most personal film , featuring lino ventura , paul meurisse , jean - pierre cassel , and the incomparable simone signoret as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their conception of honor in their battle against hitler\u2019s regime .\nworld film directors , vol . ii . , john wakeman ( ed . ) , wilson , co . , ny 1988 , quoted in \u201cconversations about great films : army of shadows / l\u2019arm\u00e9e des ombres\u201d , diane christian and bruce jackson ( eds . ) , buffalo film seminars , xv : 6 , the center for studies in american culture , state university of new york , buffalo , ny ( 2 october 2007 ) .\npierre lhomme - in this interview , cinematographer pierre lhomme , who supervised the restoration of army of shadows , discusses the various obstacles that had to be overcome to reproduce as best as possible the original look of the film . a collection of stills from the film is also included . in french , with optional english subtitles .

the german occupation - i excluded all realism .\nathough the movie , as ebert notes , is primarily about the state of mind of those working under extreme psychological pressure and constant danger , it is in many ways one of the most realistic of all films about the resistance in its emphasis on the necessary details and routines of resistance work . these range from apparently mundane aspects as arranging clandestine meetings and issuing orders , to the problems posed by new neighbours near a safe house - which leads to the issue of deciding how best to execute an informer with the minimum of noise .\nthe hideous mess in iraq , the sense that we are enmeshed in a situation in the middle east where all options are bad , may partly account for the embrace in 2006 of melville\u2019s depiction of the tragedy within even the \u201cgood\u201d war . in their pessimism about the inevitability of war and its cost in individual lives , clint eastwood\u2019s admirable and moving world war ii films letters from iwo jima and flags of our fathers , released late in the same year , have something in common with army of shadows . all three films show that in the worst of circumstances , human beings can act with courage and honor , but that there is a larger tragedy in the fact that war is the realm in which such heroism comes into being . perhaps a line from roger ebert\u2019s review best accounts for the contemporary power of this emissary from 1969 : \u201crarely has a film shown so truly that place in the heart where hope lives with fatalism . \u201d amy taubin is a contributing editor for film comment and sight & sound . she also writes frequently for artforum . this piece originally appeared in the 2007 dvd edition of army of shadows .\nthere may be psychosexual explanations for why this is the case , but the war and france ' s shame were reason enough . melville , a jew , was serving in the military when france capitulated to germany , and he subsequently joined several networks in the resistance . decades later , while discussing\narmy of shadows ,\nhe pointedly noted ,\ndon ' t forget that there are more people who didn ' t work for the resistance than people who did .\nit ' s no wonder\narmy of shadows\nfeels like a cold rejoinder to the cherished romance of the french resistance fighter , wearing a beret and a sneer , and holding back the nazi tide that had already swept the country . kessel writes :\ntoday it is nearly always death , death , death . but on our side we kill , kill , kill .\nthat is melville ' s war .\njean - pierre melville ' s masterpiece about the french resistance against the nazi occupation went unreleased in the united states for thirty - seven years , before its triumphant theatrical debut in 2006 . atmospheric and gripping , army of shadows is melville ' s most personal film , featuring lino ventura , paul meurisse , jean - pierre cassel , and the incomparable simone signoret as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their own brand of honor in their battle against hitler ' s regime .\nhowever , melville ' s chief interest , as in most of his films , was in examining the self - imposed codes of honor and behaviour that his main characters tried to maintain . philippe gerbier , like most of melville ' s protagonists , ( frequently thieves or gangsters ) takes pride in his professionialism : the careful , studious application of personal expertise . army of shadows reveals melville ' s fascination with the choices that people have to make under extreme pressure , and by how his protagonists accept the consequences of those decisions . what melville admires is the stoicism , even fatalism , of his ' heroes ' as they abide by their code of honor . his film is not concerned with the morality of otherwise of their actions , but with their loyalty to a particular group and adherence to a personal ethical code .\nalthough kessel\u2019s book ends hopefully , it was written during the war , so understandably the novelization focuses on hope rather than despair . melville\u2019s army of shadows is quite the reverse . for the director , the film was a historical marker , signifying his generation\u2014the pre - may 1968 generation . it does not highlight the past or future but instead remains in the film\u2019s present : the sad mental state of necessary maquis cells operating during wwii . for every procession of german soldiers marching on the champs - elys\u00e9es , there was a small company of everyday frenchmen , working in the gloom of their eventual deaths to stop them .\ncommentary - in this audio commentary , recorded for the british film institute in 2006 , film historian ginette vincendeau discusses jean - pierre melville ' s involvement with the french resistance , joseph kessel ' s novel , the various similarities between the french director ' s gangster films and army of shadows , the mixed reviews the film received from various critics after it premiered in france , its main characters , the unique use of color , unorthodox message , etc . in english , not subtitled .\nhe second stunning revival of the week comes by way of jean - pierre melville ' s 1969 war movie , which tells in typically sombre , deadpan style , of the french resistance and their operations against the nazi occupation forces . forget about the bullet - ridden hell - storms or raffish derring - do of your conventional second world war picture : this is a world of cold , grey - painted rooms , as often as not containing immobile figures dripping with blood . melville ' s own history with the free french is well - known , and army in the shadows , an adaptation of joseph kessel ' s novel was his third time with the subject .\nif army of shadows is a tragedy rather than a melodrama\u2014and i believe it is\u2014this is its first act . the narrative will come full circle , and the theme music will be heard again , in the last sequence , when once more gerbier , this time with his commander , luc jardie ( paul meurisse ) \u2014the character partly modeled on the legendary resis\u00adtance hero jean moulin\u2014decides it is necessary to kill one of their group . but now it is one of the most valued members . after the damning deed is done , melville shows us , one by one , the agonized faces of those remaining and , through the windshield of their car , the arc de triomphe . a second later , a series of title cards briefly describe how each of them was executed by the germans . one expects that an image or two from a film as powerful as this one will stick in one\u2019s memory , but in the months since i\u2019ve seen army of shadows , it\u2019s these words , which originate not with kessel but with melville , that will not leave my mind . all the bleak beauty of the film\u2019s drained color palette and the nearly impenetrable blacks , which are a tribute to the title , lead to this series of filmic tombstones\u2014white letters on black grounds .\nthis film is a sad and tragic film and after the murder of madame mathilde ; the film shows the unfortunate endings of each member of what was left of the resistance .\narmy of shadows barely received acknowledgment in france upon its initial release ; the critical response was polarized , and the film did not perform well at the box office . ginette vincendeau attributes the film\u2019s failure to poor timing . it was considered a gaullist picture . by the time it was finished , general de gaulle had been voted out of politics after the student strike of may 1968 , at which time gaullist theory was suddenly unpopular . and so the film never obtained u . s . distribution . melville , however , did receive a number of letters from real - life resistance members praising him for his affecting film . while in france army of shadows was remembered fondly over time , even the most devout american cinephile could not place it within melville\u2019s oeuvre ( unless having seen it in france during its initial theatrical run ) . in 2006 , rialto pictures circulated a print around art house and minor revival theaters in america , introducing this forgotten classic to new audiences . the film received massive critical acclaim , with many calling it the best film released that year .\nfilm historians and melville scholars have noted that army of shadows bears a \u201cfuneral tone\u201d throughout , as if mourning the resistance fighters either already dead or soon to die within the picture . melville\u2019s films often brood , and in many cases , preemptively grieve for the hero\u2019s death . then again , his filmic moods could be interpreted as simply pensive\u2014a stylistic trait creating atmosphere through silent protagonists . except , such an explanation is perhaps too simple when looking at his career . in le samoura\u00ef and le cercle rouge , for example , his male narcissistic heroes harbor the same meditative disposition as army of shadows \u2019 lead philippe gerbier ( played by lino ventura ) \u2014in each of these three films the tone reaches levels of almost ceremonial defeatist stoicism , and in each the \u201chero\u201d dies in the end . ( whereas in bob le flambeur , the hero\u2019s attitude is relatively blithe , allowing the protagonist to live . ) melville adds the tone , the lack of dialogue and humor , as part of his minimalist style . the result crafts an appropriately poetic feel ( both poignant and harrowing next to bob le flambeur ) given this comparatively serious subject matter .\nif melville wished , he could have added action into army of shadows , making scenes like the escape attempt from the gestapo prison in lyon more about brute force than suspense . when maquis member lepercq is captured , tortured , and imprisoned , gerbier allows a break - out attempt where three resistance fighters go undercover as medical transports . but rather than grandiose music and fluid camerawork , melville shoots this scene like many of his finest sequences\u2014with no music and patient concentration on detail . this scene compares to the robbery from le cercle rouge or the train heist from un flic , as all are virtually silent , meticulously paced , and with little focus on dialogue . his approach is intellectual rather than physical , making us ponder frame of mind . recognizing the process of decision making becomes more important than action or suspense . melville , having fought in the resistance , understands such a state of mind more than any other filmmaker , which is why army of shadows emerges as a meditation more than a historical account . the film\u2019s events are not realistic , save for their psychology . it contemplates the type of person required to expect betrayal around each corner , to prepare for any unforeseen event , and to survive , all by means of melville\u2019s own romantic penchant for masculinized storytelling .\nthe hideous mess in iraq , the sense that we are enmeshed in a situation in the middle east where all options are bad , may partly account for the embrace in 2006 of melville\u2019s depiction of the tragedy within even the \u201cgood\u201d war . in their pessimism about the inevitability of war and its cost in individual lives , clint eastwood\u2019s admirable and moving world war ii films letters from iwo jima and flags of our fathers , released late in the same year , have something in common with army of shadows . all three films show that in the worst of circumstances , human beings can act with courage and honor , but that there is a larger tragedy in the fact that war is the realm in which such heroism comes into being .\nthis film , which was never released in america and will now be making its way across the country in limited release , has been immaculately restored and features new subtitles . you can get lost in the blackness of its heart and its shadows . you might never come back .\njean - pierre melville ' s\nl ' arm\u00e9e des ombres\na . k . a\narny of shadows\n( 1969 ) arrives on blu - ray courtesy of criterion . the supplemental features on the disc include an audio commentary with film historian ginette vincendeau ;

in army of shadows , she is one of the boys , showing but a glimmer of femininity only once in the film\u2014in her glassy eyes after failing to free their comrade from the lyon prison . melville has often been criticized for his depiction of women , who are regularly only set - pieces to the director\u2019s male hero . here , though she is void of cinema\u2019s stereotypical feminine qualities , namely sexuality , but she is nonetheless a strong female hero . by the end of the film , melville asserts that mathilde may be the most valuable member of the film\u2019s resistance group .\nbooklet - a 44 - page illustrated booklet containing amy taubin ' s essay\nout of the shadows\n, originally published in the may / june 2006 issue of film comment ;

to - make - it - big - in - bollywood ' story ends like that of dharam , big b or srk . thousands die a frustrating death every day . this is what first - time director k d satyam brings on screen : the desire , the hunger and the ' will - go - to - any - lengths ' attitude , to get noticed .\nin an age of cut - throat competition in bollywood , where a film which under - performs at the box office is taken off after a week\u2019s run , is it feasible to make a film with little or no pr budget in the hope that word of mouth will suffice to ensure success ? some films have had no promotional expenditure yet managed to reach audiences and fill cinemas ; others have sunk without a trace .\nhow far can one go to achieve their bollywood dreams ? daily around 1000 people come to the city of dreams - mumbai to fulfil their dreams of dazzling on celluloid . some run from their house , some fight with family and friends , while others fight their inner battles in the hope of becoming a superstar one day . director k . d . satyam beautifully narrates this struggle in his two hours and two minutes feature film .\nthe film shows the actual struggle behind the glory and glitter that one sees through movies and stardom . it emphasizes on the fact that , it is indeed difficult to be a someone in bollywood , either you don\u2019t have talent or you don\u2019t have luck in the crowd of million dreamers . but again , the story is not something one hasn\u2019t heard or seen before and that\u2019s the point where film suffers although having its heart in the right place .\nbollywood star kajol to venture into film production . kajol is all set to launch her home production in september and hopes to come up with a film early next year . the actress , who is currently gearing up for the release of her tamil film \u201cvip 2\u201d , says she was planning to foray into production for sometime but it got delayed . \u201cmy home production is finally starting . we\u2019ll most probably be starting in september . and i\u2019m excited about it . \u201d\nok , so she has an advantage being married to aamir khan , one of bollywood\u2019s biggest stars , who is her star and co - producer here . ( american audiences may remember him from the oscar - nominated lagaan , which he starred in and produced . ) but dhobi ghat is no vanity project ; rather , it is a fully realized art film with european sensibilities that intertwines the stories of four characters from different worlds but the same lonely , overcrowded city .\nnine out of ten indians would have dreamt of making it big on the silver screen . such is the impact of bollywood on our lives [ which is so ingrained in our psyche with the lives of actors and actresses over - riding our daily dose of editorial intake ] , that , inadvertently , one starts thinking of becoming another success story on screen like that of dharmendra , amitabh bachchan or shah rukh khan - outsiders who made it big , with name fame and money !\ndale bhagwagar , bollywood\u2019s pr guru , describes these brutal times . \u201cif the film does not catch on in the first week , exhibitors and distributors are likely to pull it out . if the producer does not spend on pr , advertising , marketing and a whole gamut of exercises under the publicity umbrella , it\u2019s tough to get the initials in today\u2019s time . everything is a game of initials [ the returns of the first weekend ( friday , saturday and sunday ) ] nowadays . \u201d\nall three are set up for heartbreak , yet director kd satyam ( wrote ' gattu ' ) explores their psyche with an unrelenting gaze . throughout , you can ' t shake off a disturbing thought - that they ' re one rejection away from suicide . but none of them are inherently that fragile of spirit . it already takes an extraordinary kind of strength to even consider being any kind of artist . the illusion of bollywood and fame is far removed from the reality of breaking in .\nwell defined and cleverly positioned , this film aims to tell it succinctly . the background score is haunting , the performances are very good and the treatment is smartly affective . the melodrama is minimal . the bollywood dream may be alive and thriving for a few but there are so many more who fail to strike it anywhere close . the poignancy of the heartburn experienced by the three lead characters emblematizes that . this one sure has what it takes to make good . the rest is up to you .\nin early 2010 or 11 , udayan mitra , publisher -

broken after losing her investment in bollywood . her move to dubai , resigning herself to her fate , going through the motions in life is portrayed with underplayed emotions . raima sen starts off hesitantly , but as the movie progresses she immerses herself into her character to give out a fine performance . her transformation in looks and performance as a prostitute in kolkata to her scorching new avatar in dubai also displays her mind - set . the problem with raima is that , at most times ( in her movies ) , she lets her character be . she needs to ' be there ' like she is in the latter half of the film to do justice to her talent .\nthe result ? \u201cromancing with life\u201d , one of the first -

it wouldn\u2019t be surprising if he became involved , and the same goes for the film\u2019s leading lady carano . the girlfriend experience star sasha grey isn\u2019t returning for the starz show , but i could see carano playing kane again .\nthough not among soderbergh ' s best \u2014 those would be out of sight , traffic and king of the hill \u2014 haywire and its fight scenes jangle the nerves and do it with panache .\nis built upon this . the only film of his to get any respect from critics is\nfilm , after all . what makes this example notable is that its amazon rating is at\nwhile it would be unfair to say that haywire was widely disliked by audiences across the country ( cinemascore , much like nielsen ratings , can\u2019t gauge everyone ) , is it another case of moviegoers feeling mislead \u00e0 la drive , or was the film simply a letdown ?

little is known about the project at this point , but it\u2019s an exciting prospect , to say the least . read more about the potential haywire show after the jump .\nhaywire was well - received by critics ( 80 % on rotten tomatoes ) , who are usually familiar with steven soderbergh ' s films , but hated by audiences ( a d\u0096 on cinemascore ) who expected a more hollywood - style action film ( the film was even promoted as being like the director ' s ocean ' s eleven ) . the same thing happened with the director ' s contagion , which has an 84 % on rotten tomatoes but a c\u0096 on cinemascore ( but at least was profitable with over $ 135 million worldwide , unlike haywire , which barely recouped its budget ) .\nfund , which has raised $ 5 million , was launched in the wake of the indie film biz bouncing back with structured financing available to invest into film and international buyers actively acquiring films .\nbox office : fourth ' underworld ' film is no . 1 on strong weekend [ updated ]\nthere has always been an eclectic nature to steven soderbergh\u2019s career , so it should come as no surprise that he has made an action film . if anything it seems odd that it took him this long . he\u2019s done plenty of crime films , which feature some action in them , but haywire is the first time that soderbergh has really tackled a film whose heart lies in the kicking and the punching .\ncalling attention to the heterogeneity of the film experience , altman offers a film - historical approach that removes the need to refer to the film as a single phenomenon . instead , we should embrace the multiplicity of spaces and versions of the cinema experience . to put this another way , altman worries that by homogenizing film as a singular , unchanging text we miss an opportunity to explore the diversity of spaces in which films are presented and the various \u201csocial contexts in which the film is seen . \u201d specifically , he is pointing to silent film exhibition where feature films were shown with differing musical accompaniment or different ticketing and seating policies , thereby contributing to an altogether different experience of the same film .\n( where the film has a more reasonable 5 . 9 score ) denounced this as a case of\nif you ' re tired of the same old action movies with nauseating shaky - cam and even more nauseating editing , then you should give ' haywire ' a try . soderbergh has created quite the genre film here by staying away from all the clich\u00e9s that come with action movies . he ' s also taken an mma fighter and put her into a believable role . she isn ' t a great actress , but this is the right role for her . ' haywire ' is hard not to love . it ' s recommended on all fronts .\njanuary seems to be an increasingly reliable time of year to find a great , if perhaps trashy , genre movie , so it was with great enthusiasm that i snatched up the chance to go to a screening of haywire .\nthe men of ' haywire ' ( hd , 5 min . ) \u2013 this is a promo reel of interviews featuring the famous male faces of the movie like fassbender , mcgregor , banderas , channing tatum , and michael douglas .\nto help facilitate a broader discussion of this phenomenon , i believe we need to consider altman\u2019s \u201ccinema as event\u201d thesis . even if we do not engage with the social dimensions of his platform , it is important to ask if a film text is a singular entity . we are conditioned to speak about films as singular texts . we tell our friends that we went to see this film or that film , not a version of that film .\nlet me in got rave reviews from film critics , but did so - so at the box office . some people believe that the low turnout was due to people who refused to go see it out of sheer bitter spite ( or on simple principle ) because it ' s an american remake of a foreign film . but what really killed let me in was distributor relativity media ( who acquired the film from starz due to buying the overture distribution outlet from them ) giving the film the invisible advertising treatment . there were few trailers or tv spots released and the film wasn ' t even listed on relativity ' s website . not helping the film was that the company chose to open it the same day as the social network ( a film relativity co - financed with sony ) .\nso when director steven soderbergh caught mixed martial arts fighter gina carano on tv by chance one night \u2014 and saw in her the sort of charisma and physical talent of a great action hero \u2014 the seed of haywire was planted just like that . this is a film built around its star , just as surely as any of its cheesier ' 80s forebears .\nit may seem like this is merely an exercise in style and to be honest , it is . soderbergh ' s clearly fascinated by the physicality of carano as a fighter and haywire ' s sole reason for existence is to highlight those skills .\navc : there are certain subtle gestures in that film , just involving things that are touched , and how a disease like this would spread , that are as far from an irwin allen film as you could get , though .\nin this psychologically tense slice of hallucinogenic eco - horror , a land surveyor on a secretive mission in a remote and unnamed irish forest begins to have strange visions after his equipment goes haywire , leading him suspect that someone\u2014or something\u2014is lurking in the woods .\nthr reports that into the blue director john stockwell is directing , the film and i hope that means one thing : someone gets their face blown off underwater . ( don\u2019t know what i\u2019m talking about ? find a clip of josh brolin\u2019s wonderful final scene in into the blue . ) the haywire stunt team 8711 is in talks to work on this one , too .\nhaywire ( * * * out of four , rated r , opens friday nationwide ) is a vigorous spy thriller that consistently beckons the viewer to catch up with its narrative twists and turns . bordering on convoluted , it works best when in combat mode .\nin haywire , an electrifying tale of espionage and betrayal , a female covert ops specialist ( carano ) , who works in the deadly world of international operatives , strikes back after discovering she\u2019s been double - crossed by someone close to her in the agency .\none for the money . a whopping 2 % on rotten tomatoes and bombed at the box office , but fans of the book series the film was based on generally enjoyed it and the film did considerably better once it reached home media .\navc : do you make a lot of decisions based on locale ? this is a film that jet - sets from one place to another . how in a film like this one were you trying to evoke the cities you were in ?\nso , the story goes that steven soderbergh hit on the idea for haywire while he was loafing in front of some saturday night telly . starting up on cbs was a female - only ultimate fighting gala . up stepped the formidable gina carano . it was , for soderbergh , love at first strike , but the question he asked was this : \u201chow come angelina jolie\u2019s the only woman allowed to run around with a gun and beat people up ? \u201d haywire is his answer , and jolie better renew her gym membership .\nin a sense , the film becomes a slave to technology when stylistic concerns are motivated by technical standards . strangely , a . o . scott in the times praises the cg work in this film as building on previous models of cinematic illusion :\nit\u2019s incredibly hard for me to actually decide where to stand on haywire . even as the credits were rolling and i was asked if i enjoyed the film , my response was , \u201ci think so\u201d . nothing in the film made me hate it , while the likes of tatum and paxton did help to elevate the slightly lifeless narrative . i can\u2019t help but feel that it was one of the few soderbergh films that would have benefitted from a bigger budget , as there was no real spectacle outside of carano\u2019s encounters .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nto this end , i support what rick altman has already called for in his \u201cheterogeneous\u201d approach to film study , whereby film is understood as a experience or event that is mediated by various factors . altman suggests that by \u201costensibly analyzing the film , cinema critics have been at pains both to homogenize the lived experience of film - viewing and to avoid undermining that homogeneity . rather than recognize the legitimate existence of multiple versions of a film , based on diverse social and industrial needs ( censorship , standardized length , colorization , foreign - language dubbing , etc . ) , critics have regularly made a fetish of locating the \u2018original\u2019 version . \u201d\nthis is a question plagued by many film scholars who give themselves the job of historicizing the technical and aesthetic qualities of cinema . to study early technicolor ( as scott higgins has admirably done ) or sound design in the 1970s requires a caveat : material conditions change . can we productively analyze technicolor stock qualities based on a remastered dvd of gone with the wind ? how about the study of mise en scene using a full frame copy of blow out ? if we tow the party line of film studies , then there is no real difference . a film is a film is a film . but we know better , don\u2019t we ?\nthat is , i would like to consider how the visual effects technology of the film undermines the structural and emotional arc of the narrative . my comments are still fairly fresh since i have just seen the film and am responding rather quickly to something that will no doubt require a little more thought . for those who have yet to see the film , there are serious spoilers ahead .\nthis appears to be the working hypothesis behind \u201chaywire , \u201d a cold and kinetic experiment in high - impact , low - concept genre filmmaking directed by steven soderbergh . starting with a brawl in a rural roadside diner , the film , written by lem dobbs , proceeds through a series of expertly choreographed , meticulously edited scuffles and chases , set pieces threaded around a plot that seems almost defiantly preposterous and uninteresting .\ntransformers age of extinction continued the tradition , also making over $ 1 billion worldwide ( and actually becoming the highest - grossing film of its year , the second time a bay film accomplished this feat after armageddon ) despite opening to near - universally negative reviews .\nwith inception , zimmer may have composed a thoroughly contemporary film score that rejects the \u201cbullshit heroism\u201d of an earlier era , but it would be a mistake to conflate the suitability of a particular approach to all film with its applicability to a composer\u2019s particular working style .\nin that early george clooney vehicle , everything felt fresh and exciting , with its perfect blend of stylistic visuals and soothing sounds , whereas in haywire it seems dated and massively inappropriate . when someone\u2019s being chased down in the street , smooth retro jazz doesn\u2019t really get the adrenaline pumping .\nhaywire is essentially a novelty , a great director trying his hand out something that might be considered outside of his wheelhouse . of course even as a novelty , haywire is better than most of the action films released in any given year . it\u2019s incredibly entertaining , and the parade of cool actors adds a definite level of badass . what it really does , though , is show how good soderbergh\u2019s instincts are : while gina carano may never be a truly great actor , she\u2019s got remarkable screen presence and charisma . she\u2019s got that ineffable something you see in movie stars .\nrelativity has made a few movies that could work on television , like battle los angeles or immortals . haywire is an interesting choice to start with , that is if they actually follow through on the show . to make it as fun as the movie , the series would need a style as dynamic as soderbergh\u2019s . he\u2019s currently busy on season two of the knick and executive - producing a tv adaptation of the girlfriend experience . regarding the latter , soderbergh said , \u201cwe didn\u2019t want to just remake the film . we were intrigued with the idea of going to a new location with a new character on a new trajectory , \u201d and that approach would probably be best for the haywire project as well .\nbox office : fourth ' underworld ' film is no . 1 on strong weekend [ updated ] | company town | los angeles times\nthe realism in ' haywire ' is its crowning achievement . let ' s forget about the tightly wound espionage plot simmering underneath , because we all know soderbergh will tie it all up at the end anyway . no , this movie isn ' t about finding out anything . this movie is about watching carano in action , directed by a director who knows how to film that action and get the most out of it .\nmovie review - ' haywire ' - a star is born , fists flying the genre - hopping director takes on the action flick in a smart , forceful showcase for newcomer gina carano \u2014 whom critic ian buckwalter says is a magnetic marvel of a big - screen badass . ( recommended )\nhaywire is more tense than it is exciting , or explosive , with some well employed moments of silence , especially when a violent outcome seems just around the corner . it\u2019s a pity , then , that soderbergh decided to use david holmes\u2019 music throughout , as it really does jar quite badly with the rest of the film\u2019s content , especially when i loved the pairing of them in the excellent and effortlessly cool out of sight .\ncritics were mixed towards were the millers , some outright hating the film , but it was a financial success and scored better with audiences .\nit would seem that in the weeks since i\u2019ve seen the film , the dominant conversation has shifted away from knight \u2018s technical and stylistic achievements to a more interpretive , if not totally reductive , schema that aims to set in relief the political overtones and undertones of nolan\u2019s film .\ni remember hearing about the film a dozen years ago when i was just getting acquainted with kubrick\u2019s works . back then there was still hope that he might mount a return to the film , but that sadly never happened . there was also the aryan papers , which receives some attention in the archive . it\u2019s rumored that kubrick abandoned the film in the early 90s after he learned that spielberg was producing his own holocaust drama .\nin an arrangement very unique to the industry , soderbergh will forgo his upfront salary , and retain ownership of the film , along with rml .\ncopyright \u00a9 2005 -

sampling background and blues - and - jazz techno orientation yield many different flavors to occasionally jarring but overall bouyant effect .\nearlier this summer i found myself wondering how i could best describe the work of film composer hans zimmer . in many respects , zimmer\u2019s contribution to modern film scoring is extensive as it is expansive . with this post i\u2019d like to discuss the constitutive elements of the zimmer \u201csound\u201d and how it works with the image .\nthe movie appealed largely to an african american audience this weekend , and 66 % of the crowd was over the age of 25 . those who saw the film loved it , giving it an average grade of a . like the new\nunderworld\nfilm ,\nred tails\nhas received overwhelmingly negative reviews .\nsteven soderbergh has mashed , fermented and distilled a range of familiar seventies revenge - movie tropes into a cask - strength action thriller . haywire , his 25th feature as director , features a wronged woman out for payback , an ever - deepening conspiracy and a raunchy brass and wah - wah soundtrack , but it\u2019s no mere exercise in pastiche .\nit also includes the company\u2019s minority stakes in a sports management group , the for - profit relativity education and a joint film marketing and distribution entity with europacorp .\nthere have been at least two points in history where critical dissonance got to such a point that it led to a paradigm shift within film criticism in general .\nwhich leads me to my next point regarding zimmer\u2019s sound . the power anthem may be the most recognizable and disseminated technique popularized by the composer , but it says nothing of his art . there is a much more instinctive scoring technique that zimmer continues to employ in film after film that has evaded considerable focus and attention .\nto come to the rescue . when you see a woman gamboling in the nude in a meyer film , you stay gamboled with . . . i return to\n, took top spot on the chart . the film sold 510 , 000 units / $ 10 . 19 million giving it an opening week blu - ray share of 52 % . at this point , any action film that doesn ' t open with a 50 % blu - ray share should be considered a disappointment .\nafter all , despite the unknown quality of its former mma fighter turned actress , gina carano , haywire looked like a straight to video action gem , only with an elite cast and the artistic eye of director steven soderbergh . all of which i assumed would make for a near perfect action flick . this , however , is not the case .\n\u201chaywire\u201d is lovingly lighted and filmed , its action as sparingly edited as old hollywood musicals , so that the painstaking fight choreography can be appreciated . as the double - crossed freelance agent mallory kane , ms . carano gives \u201chaywire\u201d jolts of energy with her arsenal of explosive moves : pushing off walls , slinging sheet pans , twisting arms until they break . in one memorable scene michael fassbender , playing a suave colleague , engages mallory in a furniture - smashing brawl in an expensive hotel room in dublin . mr . fassbender recalled ms . carano needling him to hit her harder . \u201ci kept telling her , \u2018gina , this is called acting , yeah ? it\u2019s pretend . i don\u2019t have to hit you , \u2019 \u201d said mr . fassbender , who in \u201chaywire\u201d tosses ms . carano , dressed in black herve leger , into a flat - screen television . \u201ci\u2019m going to make myself look like a real wuss , but i was wearing padding . but she wouldn\u2019t . she was stubborn like that . i think she likes the bruising . \u201d\nbatman v superman dawn of justice is incredibly polarizing . the vast majority of critics panned the film , with one memorable headline calling it\na crime against comic book fans .\naudiences well , it ' s actually hard to tell . many sites were review - bombed with perfect scores about a day before the film came out , but the voices and user reviews since then haven ' t been anywhere near as vitriolic as the critics , finding it a flawed but entertaining film .\ngina carano is not an actor by trade , and there are a few times during ' haywire ' where that ' s pretty apparent . she delivers her lines flat , with little embellishment , but the thing is , that ' s the point , because soderbergh has expertly crafted a movie around her that can only be described as action movie minimalism .\nbut the storied superhero and super - spy movies that hit theaters each summer , which comprise most of the action roles available to men , are based on properties that are decades ( and sometimes centuries ) old . by contrast , the three best - reviewed female - led action movies in recent years\u2014 salt , hanna , and now haywire \u2014are completely original properties , with strong , well - written female leads to match . these movies have a contemporary , refreshingly progressive tone that speaks to the changes in the genre . salt was originally intended as a vehicle for tom cruise ; the script was successfully rewritten for angelina jolie when she commented to a sony executive ,\ni want to be bond !\nhaywire ' s star , gina carano , is known primarily not from the red carpet but from the mixed - martials arts octagon .\nyou want me to be eye candy ?\nasks carano in haywire ' s trailer , with a skeptical tone that indicates that a night in an evening gown is the worst assignment she ' s had in ages .\nchristmas eve , a forgettable 2015 film starring patrick stewart , has a rare 0 % on rotten tomatoes , but audiences gave it a barely - fresh 61 % .\nlooking to cast a new film sensation ? then visit a prison , look at instagram or head to a station . because that\u2019s where these future stars were hanging out\nhaywire will inevitably be compared to action - woman romps such as kill bill , salt and lara croft : tomb raider , but it\u2019s genetically closer to nicolas winding refn\u2019s pulp - literate neo - noir drive . for the first time since his ocean\u2019s eleven films , soderbergh seems to be relishing cinema\u2019s potential for fun \u2013 and that means we do , too .\nthe second approach rests on the expressiveness of film music . i am particularly drawn to noel carroll\u2019s theory of \u201cmodifying music , \u201d whereby music helps to clarify mood , setting , character , or dramatic import of a scene . jeff smith has noted that carroll\u2019s theory represents \u201can aspect of musical cognition , a means of enabling spectators to gauge the emotional qualities of a scene\u201d ( \u201cunheard melodies ? a critique of psychoanalytic theories of film music\u201d ) . by acknowledging the emotional currency of film music , we can begin to understand its affective qualities beyond both musicological and abstract psychoanalytic frameworks . \u201ca cognitive account of film music , \u201d writes smith , \u201cwould not only more directly address the issue of the spectator\u2019s awareness of film music , but would also address the spectator\u2019s mental activities in utilizing cues that musically convey setting , character , and point of view . \u201d\navc : you talked about critical perception . what do you feel is your most underrated film ? is there an orphan in your filmography that you\u2019d like to see adopted ?\nif you had a schwarzenegger , you crafted a film that required raw power , little agility , and ( particularly early in his career ) a bare minimum of speech .\nvideo : comic - con 2011 gina carano , michael douglas in ' haywire ' trailer soderbergh and scenarist lem dobbs , who previously wrote kafka and the limey for the director , seem keen to admit that the action scenes are the point of the film , content to construct a plainly generic story around them . it\u2019s a straight revenge tale , with mallory fighting her way through assorted muscle - bound , well - armed and otherwise formidable obstacles in order to find out who set her up for assassination after she pulled off the barcelona job .\nnot one of my favorite soderbergh films , it is one hell of a film , and one that should be seen by as many people as humanly possible . shot digitally for only $ 2 million , the film stars david duchovny , julia roberts , catherine keener , david hyde pierce , blair underwood , brad pitt , rainn wilson , rashida jones , and even david fincher , and is best described as a film about the day in the life of a collective of people in hollywood , prior to a birthday .\nthere is no doubting mr . soderbergh\u2019s skill or the sincerity of his interest in some of the technical problems of postmodern cinema . and \u201chaywire\u201d explores interesting questions about the nature of acting . ms . carano does , strictly speaking , very little of it . her expressions run the gamut from glower to pout , and her features give little indication of her character\u2019s inner state .\nmallory kane , the heroine of\nhaywire ,\nis a splendid example of the character type . her first name springs from a latin root for evil , and her last name evokes associations with british pornography (\nstrict instruction for naughty schoolboys . call miss kane\n) . steven soderbergh ' s latest film is a thriller that has next to nothing to do with sex , except as an implement of distraction , but under the surface , there ' s an appeal coiling to that part of many men that feels kinda needy about lara croft .\nfor example , in blood simple , abby shots through a door at the end of the film believing that she is wasting her nasty husband . alas , he was already dispatched , buried alive by the roadside . the audience knows what abby does not , that she is actually shooting the sleazy private detective visser . similarly , the extensive cross - cutting in fargo enables the audience to generally know what its ensemble of characters do not ; to wit , the kidnapping plot , a heinously bad idea to begin with , is going tragically haywire . [ \u21a9 ]\nwell , this is a kick in the pants . ( and the face\u2026 and pretty much anywhere else gina carano could knock you on your butt clear into next week . ) in addition to a less - than - impressive opening weekend at the box office , steven soderbergh\u2019s well - reviewed action caper haywire earned a dreadful , if not entirely baffling , d + grade from cinemascore .\nin haywire , there\u2019s nothing to really cling on to from the outset . we gather that \u2018something\u2019s gone bad\u2019 on a mission and that carano\u2019s character , mallory kane , is on the run , but we\u2019re never really given any reason to care about her , have no idea what her thoughts or feelings are towards anyone , or anything , beyond ambivalence and a dislike of wearing dresses .\nhaywire is a pared - down , almost simplistic action movie . director steven soderbergh has a wide - ranging filmography , though it can be argued that his\nfun\nentries ( out of sight , ocean ' s eleven , etc . ) , are overall better than his\nserious\nmovies . this one is mostly designed to showcase the beauty and power of soderbergh ' s new star , female mixed martial arts fighter carano . haywire features many fine , recognizable actors in small roles ; their dialogue is spare and never divulges too much information or panders to the audience . ( that said , the story itself is a fairly old one in this genre , and aside from the fact that haywire is told in a non - linear fashion , it doesn ' t have much to add . ) soderbergh presents the fight scenes cleanly and simply , often without a music score , though he uses a funky brass score for chase scenes . however , in stripping away the fat , soderbergh has also taken away some of the movie ' s emotional content ; though it ' s a thrilling experience , it ' s also a somewhat surface one .\nshe\u2019s wary when it comes to speculating about her future in movies , but she\u2019ll allow that she\u2019d love to play someone more light - hearted than the tough customer she portrays in \u201chaywire . \u201d \u201cshe\u2019s very serious . i laugh a lot , \u201d ms . carano said . \u201cthere\u2019s only one time in the movie that she smiles , and that\u2019s when she\u2019s pretending to be drunk . \u201d\nhaywire gets right down to the business in the opening scene , a very rough tussle between mallory and an agent ( channing tatum ) with whom she has history . escaping in a car with a freaked - out young man named scott ( michael angarano ) , she relates what\u2019s led up to this tense moment , beginning with the barcelona caper , which mallory pulled off with great panache .\ncritics looooove the horror film it follows . audiences are much more mixed , though generally positive . ( a 65 % on rotten tomatoes isn ' t bad , after all . )\nbut then understanding entirely what ' s happening isn ' t really necessary , because much of that jargon - heavy complexity is really a decoy \u2014 a device supporting the first - act notion that haywire is a complicated machine in the mold of ocean ' s eleven . ( that film ' s composer , david holmes , heightens that perception with the same sort of jaunty , jazzy lounge music that defined ocean ' s . ) in reality , it ' ll turn out to be a deft , single - minded revenge story that shares dna with the thoughtful , darkly funny the limey .\nchris hemsworth kicks off filming for the star - studded men in black spin - off as he cuts a sharp figure in london . . . 21 years after the first film hit screens\nthe steven soderbergh film is being adapted at the unit \u2014 soon to be an independent company following its purchase by a group of senior lenders in relativity\u2019s ongoing bankruptcy process , reported thewrap .\ndavid lynch is very popular among film critics and intellectuals for making innovative cinema that at least tries to do something different . other moviegoers literally hate his pictures for being bizarre and arty .\nss : here was my plan : my way of trying to keep the film in a commercial zone was to treat it like a genre film , to treat it like a horror movie , and not make it feel important , and not make it feel like oscar bait . i wanted it to move . i really looked at it like a genre film . at the same time , i wanted not to indulge in a lot of the tropes that genre films trade in . but it was an irwin allen movie , as far as i was concerned .\nthe movie got off to a far worse start than soderbergh ' s last film ,\ncontagion ,\nthe global pandemic thriller that debuted with $ 22 . 4 million last september .\ncarano\u2019s acting was her weakest skill in haywire , but it didn\u2019t help that she was working with some of the best actors in the business \u2014 doing scenes with michael fassbender can make anyone look like a rank amateur . but is john stockwell the guy to bring out her acting talent ? not sure about that , but carano is a good screen presence regardless , so i\u2019m willing to see what happens .\nimagine an entire action film dedicated to the proposition that every fight possesses the intensity of the classic sean connery - robert shaw to - the - death scrap in from russia with love and you\u2019ll know what haywire is all about . with all the feel of a vacation from more high - minded and ambitious projects , steven soderbergh celebrates making his 25th feature film within 22 years with a kick - ass international action romp toplining mixed martial arts star gina carano as a covert operative who proceeds to whup a succession of macho leading men in addition to assorted anonymous foes ; she\u2019s pepper to angelina\u2019s salt . world - premiered as a surprise sneak preview at hollywood\u2019s afi fest , this relativity release should enjoy a solid commercial career with action - seeking male and female audiences upon its jan . 20 release .\nexecs from the london - based banner , who are heading to cannes next week , have already invested in \u201cqueen of diamonds , \u201d a 1960s london gangster movie to be helmed by catherine hardwicke ; black - list script \u201cblood mountain\u201d ; inferno\u2019s and chuck russell \u2019s \u201carabian nights\u201d ; and action pic \u201cin the blood . \u201d \u201cin the blood\u201d will shoot this fall in puerto rico and star \u201c haywire \u2019s\u201d gina carano .\nhow the grinch stole christmas is a very divisive film , especially in terms of this trope . it received a 53 % on rotten tomatoes and a 46 % on metacritic , but spent four weeks as the # 1 film in the us , and was the highest - grossing movie of 2000 domestically , with $ 260 million . the film was nominated for three academy awards , winning for best makeup ( which , if you ' ve seen the behind - the - scenes footage , is very well - deserved ) , and was nominated for two razzies , but won neither .\nas for genre , james mottram ( 2000 : p . 124 ) has neologized fargo as a film blanc ( \u201cwhite film\u201d ) . in this vein , fargo opens with a blinding haze of white as jerry\u2019s car traverses the austere upper midwest winter in one of many moments that emphasize the harsh environs . however , the film presents slipperiness that extends further than its relation to genre , as i discuss below . this article attempts to parse what fargo says , mainly with respect to identities ( particularly as they are gendered ) and in its posture toward the structuring logics of capitalism .\ni really liked\nhaywire\nand gina carano is one tough cookie with an ax to grind . the film has a very independent feel about it , along with a very retro style . carano is great in her role , totally believable and the girl does her own stunts ! the story is a bit hard to follow so you do have to pay attention and have a normal adult attention span . if you are expecting\nfast and furious\nor some other schlock like that , this is not the movie for you . there are intense action scenes and slower parts where the story really unfolds . all of the male stars in this film are simply backdrop for gina ' s kick ass , don ' t f * * k with me fellows attitude . a very unique and intelligent story worth seeing .\ndie hard with a vengeance was somewhat divisive to critics ( though its reputation has improved since then ) , but was still the highest - grossing film of 1995 and well - received by fans .\ndarren aronofsky ' s film mother got fairly positive reviews from critics with a 68 % rating on rotten tomatoes , but in manner similar to killing them softly , audiences gave it an f cinemascore .\nout cold was panned by reviewers giving it an 8 % on rotten tomatoes . but the film immediately gained a small cult following , as it has an 85 % user rating on that site .\nthe 2009 canadian sci - fi / horror film splice was a critical hit because it was different from most horror films . audiences , meanwhile , got turned off by it for the same reason .\na few years ago , two other approaches to the study of film music struck a chord with me . the first is exemplified by robert faulkner\u2019s 1978 essay in qualitative sociology , \u201cswimming with sharks : occupational mandate and the hollywood film composer . \u201d faulkner distills the working relationship between the composer and director in hollywood and argues that the composer may have artistic license on a project , but ultimately the producer and / or director will negotiate the role and function of music in the film . faulkner writes , \u201conly the craft really belongs to the craftsman . the product belongs to someone else . \u201d\ni call the plot nonsense . ask yourself this : how could any organization or\ncontractor\nsurvive for long with the death rate we see here ? at the end of a year , no one would be left alive , except a few mail - room clerks . soderbergh seems to be amusing himself with the variety of his locations : barcelona , dublin , new mexico , new york state and executive offices in unnamed cities . a film like\nhaywire\nhas no lasting significance , but it ' s a pleasure to see an a - list director taking the care to make a first - rate genre thriller .\nin another sense , though , nothing is really in doubt , and very little is at stake . unlike the \u201cbourne\u201d films , whose baroque webbing of plot and counterplot suggested an allegory of global paranoia , \u201chaywire\u201d goes to great lengths to avoid being about anything beyond its immediate situations and effects . it is self - consciously and aggressively trivial , a feast for formalists who sentimentalize the gloriously cheap b - movies of the past .\nthough her mixed martial arts career has been put aside for 2 \u00bd years , ms . carano still thinks of herself as a fighter . time and the \u201chaywire\u201d experience have allowed her to view her loss to cyborg differently . \u201cit put me in a very humble and honest place , \u201d ms . carano said . \u201clike : \u2018gina ?

toned shoes but have yet to hear back .\nhe is a a trained ballet dancer and choreographer and admitted he was initially reluctant to take on the role that led to him being sent fan mail from adults as well as children and feeling like a member of the beatles .\nthe \u201cnormal color , \u201d of course , is a shade similar to the essie nail polish titled \u201c ballet slippers . \u201d like the beauty and fashion industries , dancewear companies tend to use the term \u201cnude\u201d to refer only to pale tones .\nprecision f -

toe and heel of no more than 1 . 5 inches , these are shoes to get things done in ( praise be ) . it started with the celine spring / summer 2015 show when designer phoebe philo showed low pumps in butter - soft leather .\nhigh street brands including topshop , cos , office and asos have all produced their own take on the low heeled pump , which means there is zero need to shell out on a pricey pair . these shoes are so wearable and so comfortable you may want to buy a couple of pairs .\nit is 1919 . sylvia is now grown up . gum brings her back an orphaned baby girl , who has been rescued from a shipwreck . he names her pauline fossil . sylvia and nana reluctantly take her in . two years later , in 1921 , gum brings back another orphan , a russian baby girl called petrova . in 1923 , gum sends a third baby , posy , with ballet shoes that her mother owned and necklaces for the three girls . he also left some money in the bank for sylvia , enough to last five years . that is the last the family hears of him .\nwhen megastars like misty copeland , \u201c a little brown - skinned girl in a sea of whiteness , \u201d are still regarded as \u201cunlikely\u201d ballerinas , the simple act of painting a shoe to make convention conform to you becomes something more potent . it becomes a reminder that ballet has a long way to go .\nset in thirties london , ballet shoes tells the exhilarating tale of orphans pauline , petrova and posy fossil , who are adopted by an eccentric explorer , gum , and raised as sisters by his selfless niece . the timeless and uplifting story revolves around each girl ' s struggle to fulfil her dreams : pauline longs to be an actress , petrova yearns to be an aviator , and posy seems born to be a ballerina . but when gum disappears , the money runs out - and the girls have a fight on their hands . their struggle to balance personal ambition with the need to survive physically , emotionally , and financially , proves moving and comic by turns .\nin a world where ballerinas are expected to know how to pull their hair back in pristine buns , sew their pointe shoes into perfection , and otherwise manipulate their bodies and accessories to adapt to predetermined ideals , painting tutus might read to outsiders as but another dance ritual . if everyone had to do it . but in a world simultaneously dominated by white bodies , a world that has only recently witnessed the rise of american ballet theater\u2019s first female african - american principal dancer ( misty copeland ) and harbors a history of subtle racism within its institutions , the act of painting a \u201cneutral\u201d tutu becomes a reminder to those inside and outside studio halls of the specific obstacles ballerinas of color face today .\ni loved the book\nballet shoes\nas a child and still read it from time to time as a\ncomfort book\n. this bbc adaptation is disappointing . it has cut out chunks of the book and altered other parts of it considerably and some characters have been eliminated . there ' s not enough dancing and frequently when there is , the feet are cut off . there are no scenes either of the children ' s actual theatre performances . why ? some characters are exactly as i would have imagined from the book - dr jakes , mr simpson and mme fidolia are excellent and little posy is delightful . however , sylvia is even sillier than in the book - a complete ninny , helpless and ineffectual , yet stubborn and narrow - minded with big watery blue eyes and an insipid smile . poor angela thorne having to portray such a profoundly irritating character !\nin a scene from the ballet documentary \u201c first position , \u201d the camera focuses for a moment on the mother of sierra - leone - born dancer michaela deprince . tutu in hand , elaine deprince performs a seemingly innocuous task \u2015 the painting of her black daughter\u2019s tutus and straps . she carefully applies brown dye to every inch of the formerly pale costumery , making sure to touch up the remaining white bits with a dark sharpie .\nposy runs away to manoff ' s ballet . she dances for him and he wants to teach her . pauline signs the contract so that posy can go to czechoslovakia with nana , and garnie will go to hollywood with her . unexpectedly , gum comes back , and agrees to teach petrova to fly planes . the movie ends with pauline and posy vowing to get petrova into the history books , while petrova flys over garnie and mr simpson ' s wedding .\nfentroy , who is currently nursing an injury , wrote in her photo\u2019s caption : \u201ctoday is paint day , \u201d including the hashtag # keepingbusyformysanity . when asked why she posted the image , she explained to the huffington post over email that she wanted to give fans a glimpse of her process as a professional dancer . a part of that process , she noted , involves applying a flesh - colored acrylic paint \u2015 created specifically for her by the dance theatre of harlem\u2019s wardrobe team \u2015 to her pointe shoes .\nthink of them as a more flattering , smarter ballet flat . they look best contrasted with more boyish pieces - i ' ve been wearing mine with a boxy knit and levi 501s or dungarees . avoid wearing anything too pretty or smart and bare feet are essential to avoid any granny connotations . people often talk about items being wearable , but having worn mine from dawn till dusk without needing to carry an extra pair of flats , i can vouch for this .\nset in 1930s london , this made - for - tv production , based on the novel by noel streatfield , tells the tale of pauline ( emma watson ) , petrova ( yasmin paige ) and posy fossil ( lucy boynton ) , who are adopted by an eccentric explorer , gum ( richard griffiths ) , and raised as sisters by his selfless niece ( emilia fox ) and her nurse ( victoria wood ) . each of the girls has a dream to fulfil ; pauline longs to be an actress , petrova yearns to be an aviator , and posy seems born to be a ballerina . but when gum disappears and the money runs out , the feisty and devoted fossils find they must fight to survive .\ndelightful film of the book which is a perennial favourite with young girls and was a favourite of mine in the 1960s . the acting is spot - on with a young emma watson acting a far cry from her harry potter role . emilia fox is perfect as the harrassed guardian of the three precocious and talented girls , victoria wood the perfect foil as nanny -

star centrepiece to bbc england ' s christmas schedule . listings names such as emilia fox and richard griffiths as well as british stage stalwarts , the programme instantly glared of lazy and pretentious direction . the start was tenuous , almost ridiculous , and descended into the depths with wooden acting - the cameo from victoria wood must go down as one of the worst performances in living memory . i read about six months ago that emma watson had turned down handfuls of roles for the chance to perform in this tripe , and did herself no favours with a supposed sympathetic role of burdened orphan that came across as nothing more than an arrogant , sycophantic spoilt brat . just when you thought the film was building up to a resurrecting finale , it just faded out - perhaps reflecting the team equally saw how horrific this was and just gave up . this wasn ' t bad , it was a disgrace .\n16 of 67 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\ncomment : from europe ' s no . 1 in used books & media articles .\ninstantly receive a \u00a310 urltoken gift card if you\u2019re approved for the amazon platinum mastercard with instant spend . representative 21 . 9 % apr ( variable ) .\ncredit offered by newday ltd , over 18s only , subject to status . terms apply .\nthis shopping feature will continue to load items . in order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading .\ni remember this film from when i was a little girl and have been wanting to watch it again for years . i would definitely recommend it to people to watch for that reason , but if you are coming to it for the first time you may not love it quite so much . all the acting is solid and the story is of course delightful ; i think little girls would still like it very much ! it ' s certainly much better than the recent bbc version , on account of everyone in it can act .\ngood service and so happy with my purchase . i love it . yes , i say five stars . shalom\ni have very fond memories of this adaptation of one of my favourite childrens books . i used to look forward to watching the series on a sunday evening . i know that some of scenes have been cut out and i too would have loved to have seen more dancing and theatre scenes but all in all i much prefer this version to the new version starring emma watson . i wanted to enjoy the new version but found that some of my favourite characters were missing and the added romance between mr simpson and garnie was just plain ridiculous . plus emma watson seemed to be either be playing herself or another version of hermonie granger . the 1975 version may have had a smaller budget but in my eyes it is far superior .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\nregion : region 2 ( this dvd may not be viewable outside europe . read more about dvd formats . )\nsylvia brown is guardian to three young girls , pauline , petrova , and posy fossil . money is tight for sylvia , who opens her home to provide board to three others ; a retired english professor , a garage owner , and a dance teacher . the later , theo dane , has the girls accepted into her school by the formidable madame and the children help to raise some money through a stage show .\nall 6 episodes from the classic bbc series starring angela thorne , jane slaughter , elizabeth morgan , sarah prince , barbara lott , and terence skelton .\namazon ' s choice recommends highly rated , well -

movie movie\u2014and it\u2019s a remarkably precocious entry : fassbinder was twenty - six when he made it . the rapidity , consistency , and diversity of his movies\u2014added to their sheer cinematic inspiration\u2014combine to make one of the great wonders of the time . he relied on a repertory company of actors and crew members , and he worked sometimes with virtually no cash in hand , sometimes with producers , sometimes with tv money . he lived furiously and channelled his experience ( as here ) into his films , but he also built films from classic genres , tabloid headlines , and political events , and invested them all with a sensibility\u2014and a visual style\u2014that is one of the most distinctive and protean in the modern cinema . \u201ci can sleep when i\u2019m dead , \u201d he said ; he died at thirty -

sex relationships : the lesbian and bisexual women in the bitter tears of petra von kant , a transsexual in in a year of 13 moons , and the gay men in fox and his friends ( in which he starred ) and querelle . of course , many of his films include same - sex experience in the magins , whether it is actually crucial ( as in love is colder than death , where the action arguably hinges on the unspoken desire of the two male leads , played by fassbinder and lommel ) or more peripheral ( for instance , in chinese roulette there is the sexually ambiguous philosopher cum handyman , gabriel ; and the silent governess , traunitz , and even her machiavellian charge , angela , are possibly lesbian or bisexual ) . in beware of a holy whore , fassbinder has the relative freedom of exploring same - sex relationships in the insular world of moviemaking ; although on another level the characters \u0096 and we \u0096 all know that this is not how things are outside of these confines .\nfassbinder was an extraordinary artist , but he was also a great showman on both sides of the camera . people who come to this film hoping for a peek into fassbinder ' s tumultuous private life will not be disappointed ; but the film offers much more than self - satire , as we will see . although most of his films were compassionate studies of outcasts and loners , fassbinder cultivated a controversial , even notorious , public persona . as a filmmaker , he was often accused \u0096 even by friends and lovers \u0096 of being demanding and almost impossible to work with ; yet most faithfully continued with him on film after film . he was also proudly and defiantly gay , an artist , a leftist , and an intellectual ( of the non - pedantic sort ) in a society which rarely prized those qualities ; and he did not hide the fact that he enjoyed living on the edge , and that included alcohol , drugs , and some tempestuous affairs \u0096 all of which was lapped up by the tabloid press . but as titillating as those aspects of his life may be to some , fassbinder emerges , through his works , as a fantasticallly complex individual . all of those qualities can see in beware of a holy whore , whose tongue -

ness intensifies the almost incestuous nature of this overly tight - knit group , who are hundreds of miles from home , frustrated in a myriad of ways , and all stewing together in what feels like a giant pressure cooker . but in addition to all of the angst , fassbinder also mines a rich , sometimes sardonic , vein of humor . with the exception of his wicked farce satan ' s brew ( which is his other great self -

action even as we engage on a deeper level with the characters .\n. there are 25 speaking roles in this film , and as such it presents those characters in a superficial way because the 100 minute running time of the film does not allow enough time to fully develop some of the more interesting minor characters . these minor characters are symbolic of real -

- in a film about filmmaking , where the actors are often arranged flatly across the frame , as though in a proscenium , before a stationary camera - - as in the famous final shot ( a zoom ; no camera move ) , which dissolves into the quote from thomas mann :\nand i say to you that often i am weary to death of depicting human nature without partaking in human nature .\na devastating statement for an artist to make , but not an uncommon sensation -

hero became a trend in indian cinema with the unusual success of the hindi film kismet ( 1943 ) produced by bombay talkies . ashok kumar played a pickpocket in the film which was probably inspired by john cromwell\u2019s algiers ( 1938 ) . premapaasam ( tamil , 1956 ) , bhale ramudu ( telugu , 1956 ) and kanaka chilanka ( malayalam , 1966 ) were remakes of kismet . similar films with the anti - hero concept followed in various languages . o . p . ralhan\u2019s phool aur patthar ( 1966 ) with dharmendra in the lead , and its tamil remake oli vilakku ( 1968 ) with mgr as the anti - hero were huge hits .\none of the best works of dharmendra and meena kumari . it is a shame that dharmendra never received a film fare award . phool aur pathar is evident that he could meet the class and skill level of a legend meena kumari . dharmendra starred in number of critically acclaimed and box office successes and he was one of top actors at par with some of industry ' s legends . however he is never respected the same way and reduced to an action star . dharmendra is a living legend , handsome as ever , and one of the best industry has seen .\nunfortunately the review does not do justice to a super - hit movie may be because sometimes it is hard for non - indians to accept the dogmas of indian culture . look , in the 60\u2019s , widow remarriage was not very common . so , if ralhan showed a widow moving in with a goonda , that itself was something that was way ahead of its times . granted that dharmendra had hits before , but this was his first solo - hit and this could not have been achieved without meena kumari . to give due credit to her , her image as a weepy heroine helped the movie . i do not think mala sinha or waheeda rehman or sadhana or vyjayanthi could have done this role . it was a deglamorised role and most actresses in the 60\u2019s were too concerned with their make - up and look . the real life chemistry between the lead pair helped the movie\u2019s success . reports say that dharmendra did not take too kindly to ralhan\u2019s arrogance and almost walked out of the movie . meena kumari\u2019s personal life was in shambles \u2013 almost a real life version of chotti bahu in \u201csahib biwi aur ghulam\u201d . this explains why we could never see the meena of 50\u2019s [ baiju bawra , magroor , kohinoor , yahudi , footpath , azad ] in the 60\u2019s . she had a neighbour called janki doss and as per reports , he was the one who spread rumours about her !\nafter nearly a decade the same story was remade in malayalam as puthiya velicham , which was released on october 12 , 1979 . the unusual success of this action - packed film has been attributed to jayan\u2019s performance in the negative role .\nproduced by subramaniam kumar for sastha productions , the film was directed by sreekumaran thampi , who also wrote the script , dialogues and lyrics . the colour film was shot at vahini , arunachalam , prakash and balaji gardens . cinematography by n . a . thara , editing by narayanan and music by salil chaudhary were commendable .\njayan , jose prakash , sankaradi , jagathi sreekumar , sreevidya , jayabharathi and meena played significant roles in the film .\nthe story focussed on widow remarriage pivoting around the life of a thief . circumstances force venu ( jayan ) to turn into a criminal . he falls prey to a blackmailer , johnson ( jose prakash ) who uses his hotel as a cover for all his fraudulent activities . venu is in love with lilly ( jayabharathi ) a dancer in this hotel .\nvenu then meets lakshmi ( sreevidya ) in a mansion which he breaks into . a widow , lakshmi has been locked up inside the mansion by her husband\u2019s parents . suffering from typhoid , lakshmi is looked after by venu . timely medical care saves her life and she leaves the mansion .\nlakshmi\u2019s in - laws , panicker ( sankaradi ) and maheswari ( meena ) return from madras and find that their house has been looted . lakshmi is accused of the crime . she is beaten up and her brother - in - law balan ( vijay raj ) attempts to molest her . venu reaches in time to save lakshmi . and when she is thrown out of the house venu gives her refuge . lakshmi succeeds in reforming venu . he begins to work as a labourer and promises lakshmi that he would never go back to his criminal ways .\nin his attempt to save a young girl from fire venu sustains severe burn injuries . lakshmi\u2019s loving care brings him back to full health .\nnow , johnson sets a trap to bring venu back to his fold . he sends his men to lakshmi with the false news that venu is injured in an accident . lakshmi rushes to meet venu but is accosted by johsnon who attempts to rape her . she is saved by the timely intervention of lilly . in the ensuing fight , lilly is shot dead by johnson . the police appear on the scene and arrest johnson . the film ends with the marriage of venu and lakshmi .\nthe film made full use of jayan\u2019s macho image putting him through numerous fight sequences . sreevidya also did well in her role .\ndeviating from his usual character roles , thikkurissi sukumaran nair as lohithaksha bhagavathar did full justice to his comic role . jagathy sreekumar as a pick pocket , \u2018parippuvada\u2019 kuttappan , sreelatha as his lover and poojappura ravi as a doctor created moments of laughter .\nthe songs written by sreekumaran thampi and set to tune by salil chaudhary became hits . most of them were repetitions of his bengali film and non film tunes . jhil jhil jhil chilampanangi \u2026 .

! ! the film is saved by the presence of numerous character actors in all their glory ( and occasionally in drag ) , beautiful songs by ravi and the aforementioned dharmendra and famous dog bhairon . fun for everyone !\ni\u2019ve decided that another reason i love hindi movies is because all the people in them show up over and over for decades and become like family .\nshaka ( dharmendra ) has been a criminal from his orphaned childhood : in and out of jail , familiar with the police in his town , and the object of scorn and insults from the people he lives among . he works for \u201cboss\u201d ( madan puri in a red wig ) , who owns a hotel ; and he is loved by bad girl rita ( shashikala in a platinum blonde wig ) , a dancer at the same hotel .\ni must note here that in spite of numerous fashion don\u2019ts , shashikala is quite wonderful . she\u2019s yet another actress whose lack of stardom i don\u2019t understand . and the music by ravi is just fabulous , especially if you are a big fan of the \u201cindian twist\u201d like i am .\nboss has a new target for shaka , the zamindar of a nearby town named jeevan lal ( jeevan ) . he is very rich , but so kanjus that he refuses to put his wealth in the bank , but keeps it in the house where he can maintain a close eye on it .\non the way to jeevan\u2019s village shaka meets an old friend ( from jail no doubt ) sadakram ( played by director op ralhan ) and his gang of pickpockets working a crowd . one of them is ram avtar ( most famous as the fat guy laughing uncontrollably on the train at the start of teesri manzil ) . i love him . he is just so\u2026fat !\nsadakram tells shaka that jeevan\u2019s town is infested with the plague ( another theme i encountered recently , in dhoop chhaon ! ) . the inhabitants have all fled , leaving their homes ripe for the picking . shaka is pleased to hear this : his job will be easy .\nhe reaches the deserted village and goes into jeevan lal\u2019s house . sadly , jeevan and his family have taken all their valuables with them . but\u2014they\u2019ve left their widowed daughter - in - law shanti ( meena kumari ) , who is bedridden and ill , to die . they haven\u2019t even left her with any water . of course , she\u2019s not one to complain .\nshaka takes pity on her and forces the neighboring town\u2019s doctor ( sundar ) to treat her . shanti slowly gets better . when the plague ends and jeevan , his wife ( lalita pawar ) and son kalicharan ( ram mohan ) return to find her alive , kalicharan attempts to rape her . shaka returns just in time to save her , and takes her home with him . she has come to represent something to him .\ni don\u2019t know that i could stand her weeping and self - pity , but maybe i am one of those worse people .\nshe moves into his house , and of course asks him for a krishna murti that she can pray to . she cleans up the place , too . and finally stops crying ! but only for a minute : the prying and curious neighbors unfortunately don\u2019t treat her any better than they do shaka .\nmeanwhile , back at jeevan lal\u2019s , a lawyer for shanti\u2019s uncle has shown up . the uncle has died and left her 6 lakhs in his will , but the lawyer will only deliver the papers to shanti herself .\nthey tell him that she\u2019s gone on a pilgrimage , and then come up with a plan . they bury their wealth ( which appears to consist mostly of large pieces of gold jewelry ) in the back yard , and then call the police to report that they have been robbed and shanti has been kidnapped .\ntheir plotting is overheard by the doctor , though , and he steals the jewelry from the yard and gives it to his wife ( the one and only tun tun ) .\nshe is probably the only woman large enough to carry off wearing it all at once ! shaka\u2019s friend sadakram is passing by , though , and manages to steal a bangle off her wrist .\nwhen shaka finds out that the townspeople taunted shanti , he beats up one of them . she gets angry at him ( and she already disapproves of his profession ) . he tells her about his sad childhood , how he was forced to steal in order to eat , and then he starts crying .\nat this point i am fed up with both of them and decide that shaka falling in love with shanti is just not believable , and i stop caring much about the plot . if you want to know more you\u2019ll have to watch it .\ndharmendra saves a little girl from a burning house , thus redeeming himself in the eyes of his neighbors . they love him now . yay ! ( and he comes out unscarred and still beautiful ) :\nposted on april 23 , 2008 at 4 : 07 pm in hindi movies | rss feed you can skip to the end and leave a reply .\numm , wow . that was quite an ambiguous review . still seems fun though , especially since it has hijras in it .\ni think it was dharmendra\u2019s first hit . the two went on to make several forgettable films after that . i was always under the impression that the movie was b & w \u2013 guess the tv channels show it in b & w to make it a \u201cclassic\u201d !\nnot really . this was the movie that made dharmendra a star . however , he did have hits like haqeeqat ( 1964 ) , kaajal ( 1965 ) , aaye milan ki bela ( 1964 ) and others before this .\ni really want to see this \u2013 and not just for dharmendra \u2013 the english subtitles look really funny , and i always enjoy that . and the songs look like good fun too \u2013 especially the one with the crooks in drag .\nyes , it was all good except for meena and her constant weeping : - ) i really loved the songs but can\u2019t find them anywhere\u2026might have to resort to extracting them from the dvd .\ni wonder how bhairon got famous - and where he was famous at \u2013 rofl .\niftekhar had maybe two lines in this film , and did some standing around but not much else .\nmanmohan krishna makes me think of one of snow white\u2019s dwarves or something . he\u2019s just so cute . love those eyes . he usually is a kindly character too .\nexcellent images here memsaab ! eventually i will see it . i especially agreed with youre statement here : \u201ci\u2019ve decided that another reason i love hindi movies is because all the people in them show up over and over for decades and become like family . \u201d\nor maybe they used a dummy\u2026although i don\u2019t think so . looked pretty real , and i don\u2019t think animal safety was a big concern back then\u2026i prefer not to think about it : - )\ndon\u2019t you watch the latest bollywood movies like krazzy4 , om shanti om , etc . ? the latest ones are completely different and you will like them too .\nsome of them make you cringe . watching some of new film with young kids ? nah ! it shows unnecessary skin & smooching .\nhey\u2026\u2026 quick question\u2026 . how do you get such fantastic stills from the vids you watch ? i have tried everything\u2026 but they are so poor , that half the fun is gone . . do let me know . . thanks\ni play the dvd on my mac and use a dashboard app to capture them ( screenshot ) , then resize them in photoshop ( any image editing application would do , though ) \u2026i do spend time making sure the picture is as clear as it can be before i screen cap it too .\ni just watched this film 2 nites ago on dvd . i enjoyed it , but you could be right about meena kumari in this one . all the supporting actors were great , manmohan krishna cuddly as ever , iftekhar ( what can be said about him ) & shashikala like ive never seen her before . i went around the house twisting all the next day .\npoor meena . i just find her so hard to take in the 60s . she was beautiful and scintillating in the 50s before heartbreak and alcohol did her in though .\nand i really liked this film , except for the whole weepy thing . shashikala was awesome and bhairon the dog too : - )\nim thrilled to have found your website . i have loved hindi films for most of my life & i have a dvd collection of over 150 films from 1948 to 1980 . i will need to spend so much time on this site & im very excited about it . ive only had my computer for 2 months & i look forward to being able to share my feelings & opinions on these films & actors & songs with others . i not only love these films , i am in love with them .\ni must say i find this site pretty interesting too and am so glad to have found people watching and actually discussing these old films . like eva , i too , am in love with hindi films ( and the old songs ) even when they\u2019re silly ( i like that too ) . true about meena k being a tragey queen with too much tears but i haven\u2019t this film yet \u2013 pakeeza is one of my absolute favourite ones , it\u2019s awesome and raaj kumar very attractive in it .\n\u201cshashikala is quite wonderful . she\u2019s yet another actress whose lack of stardom i don\u2019t understand . \u201d\nshe didn\u2019t understand that herself . she had to play even mala sinha\u2019s mother ( or in - law ) in paisa ya pyar . she was just great in sujata and anupama . i remembered reading the paisa ya pyaar incident somewhere . she started crying at the sets , whereupon dadamoni console dher and said \u201clook at me , i\u2019ve played mala sinha\u2019s hero and now i play her father\u2019s role\u201d .\nmeena kumari in the 60\u2019s played only herself or atleast her projection of herself . the nadir of this evolution line is i think in chandan ka palna . just obnoxious !\nit is great fun to read your review immediately after seeing a movie because the film is fresh in your mind and you get a \u201cmemsaab take\u201d on the film which you can immediately relate to the film .\nagree with your review to a large extent . except that i am so used to meena kumari in her weepy roles that it did not surprise or bother me too much here .\nshashikala was fabulous . i readily join the group of \u201cpuzzled fans who never shashikala not becoming a bigger star\u201d .\nyou have not said much about dharam here . to be honest , he looked a bit old and tired to me . and even looked like he had put on weight . this was 1966 \u2013 he should have looked young and fresh . i have seen later movies of his where he looks younger and fitter . maybe he needed a hema or sharmila or asha pairing to bring out some freshness in him .\nall in all , i liked the movie . had heard a lot about it \u2013 now i have seen it .\nin fact for his performance , he was nominated in the filmfare best actor category . however , dev anand won it ( and rightfuly ) for guide ( 1966 ) .\ni liked it too , but truthfully just wanted to give meena a tight slap . self - inflicted misery is intolerable to me , and she needed it . dharam was fine , but he spent too much time with her and i preferred all the other good stuff going on . : ) he probably looked old and tired because he was dealing with meena both on and off - screen ! i\u2019ve said it often on here , but i find her so sad\u2026she was so gorgeous and lively in the 50s , and i hate to watch what happened to her .\nslap * her * ? not the people around her who were mistreating meena kumari and were causing her misery ( in the movie , that is ) ? it\u2019s not like she cried for fun in the movie . i can understand you wanting a more proactive heroine , but your frustration is misplaced . it\u2019s cruel and callous to take your anger out on the victim rather than those around her who deserve it .\ni just watched this one this afternoon , and completely agree with you about mena kumari\u2019s incessant weeping . there was something touching about shanti and shaka that made some of the more lugubrious stuff bearable for me . the crook reformed by the love of a good woman\u2013a favorite plot , so perhaps i am too generous . they were a real life couple for a while ? hard to imagine . especially since she looks older than him due to the ravages of her illness . as always , thanks for naming the character actors\u2013but which dancer is saroj khan ? shashikala\u2019s outfits were super hideous , and not in a good way , although the white chiffon she wore in the drinking song is a bit enviable .\ndharmendra by himself can pretty much make up for anything in my book : - ) shashikala\u2019s blonde hair made my head spin . i loved her outfits\u2014they were eye popping 8 - d\nok , i have to ask , this is the movie where dharmendra takes off his shirt for the first time . it is supposed to be the most sensual moment in the movie and in bollywoodom in general . i saw a clip of this from the dharmendra biography on youtube urltoken and maybe there is some context i am missing but him covering up meena with a blanket is supposed to be sensual ? ?\nwow , shashikala looks really different in this . i think she didn\u2019t become a leading lady because she was type - cast as the mean sister - in - law ( i . e . aarthi ) in a lot of her movies . that\u2019s a hard image to escape .\ndespite her steady decline in the 60\u2019s , you have got to credit her for the success of movies like pakeezah , dushman , a jeetendra starrer & the legendary gulzar classic \u2013 mere apne before she passed away into a zone that offered her eternal peace from all prying eyes .\nif you look at the movie chandan ka palna , it becomes clear that she would not live long . heavy drinking had already taken a toll on her . it is so sad that she died in penury and only good souls like nargis and sunil dutt helped in performing her last rites .\nshashikala too had a disastrous personal life , poor lady , she suffered a lot in life and you know that for you to succeed in bollywood , you have to compromise a lot , fight hard to change your image and network aggressively .\nbut the truth is that this was a big hit in the 60\u2019s and though this melodrama may not be watchable today due to changing times , it at least had a progressive streak in its screen play .\nto be fair , it\u2019s sometimes hard for south asians as well , particularly the ones in the western countries . thankfully , the movies of today are moving away from sati - savitri tragedy and pity ( well , for the most part ) . your balanced , informed comment is appreciated though . it gives the movie more perspective . : )\nthe best thing about this movie was meena kumari\u2019s performance . dharam was a horrible actor . this movie was a hit because of meenas performance .\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\nshaka is a robber whose boss gives him 50 % commission for each robbery . shaka is in love with a club dancer rita . the boss assigns one new contract to shaka -

has urged all treasure hunters to come forward and report their finds .\nthe official ' receiver of the wreck ' , veronica robbins , says she is considering an amnesty for people who did not declare found treasures .\neven if the finder is the owner , all wreck must be reported to the receiver of the wreck , who is responsible for dealing with wreck and salvage .\noperating on behalf of the department of transport , the receiver works within the coastguard agency . if you find a wreck , contact the receiver of wreck or your local coastguard station .\nwreck is flotsam , jetsam , derelict and lagan found in or on the shores of the sea or any tidal water . it can be a ship , aircraft , or hovercraft , their cargo or equipment . it may be of antique or archaeological value such as gold coins , or items such as drums of chemicals or crates of foodstuffs .\nare vessels or cargo , which were abandoned at sea without any hope of recovering it .\nowners have a year and a day to come forward and prove that it is their property .\nnormally , the coastguard agency will offer items of historic wrecks to institutions such as museums close to the site of the find , so that they are accessible to the public . the finder ' s wishes are normally taken into consideration .\nin cases like the devon treasure , the finder will be given the cash equivalent of the value of the wreck .\ntreasure found on land is governed by the treasure act which came into force in september 1997 .\nif you find treasure you are legally obliged to report it to your local police station within 14 days . the police will pass it on to the coroner who will decide whether it is defined as treasure .\nif a museum wants to acquire your treasure , you will probably be given the market value price . if no museum wants it , you may be entitled to keep it .\nthe definition of treasure falls into four categories : coins that are older that 300 years old ; other objects that contain at least 10 % gold or silver and are at least 300 years old ; associated objects that are found in the same place as treasure ; and other objects containing substantial amounts of gold and silver whose owners cannot be traced .\nif a museum wants to acquire the treasure , an independent valuation committee will value the treasure , to determine the reward paid to the finder .\nwhere the finder has permission to be on the land , rewards are paid in full .\nif the finder makes an agreement with the occupier or landowner to share a reward , the government will be prepared to follow the terms of the agreement .\na finder who has been trespassing may expect a reduced award or none at all . landowners and occupiers will be eligible for rewards when this happens .\ninternet links the coastguard

ever wondered what ever happened your personal property that the moving company \u201clost\u201d during your military moves ? over the course of 20 years in the army i certainly have . spoiler alert : to at least one auction house , gene daniels auctions , your personal property is \u201chidden treasures\u201d that should be auctioned off to the highest bidder .\ndon\u2019t believe me ? check it out yourself . in case you can\u2019t read the text in the screen shot , it says\nantique furniture . collectors items . \u201cunique\u201d items . i\u2019m sure those crates contain all of that , and more . you know what else they probably contain ? essential household items , important military gear , and irreplaceable family heirlooms . these are things that people need , that are expensive to replace , and may not be replaceable at all . and they\u2019re all sitting there in that warehouse , waiting to be sold off , with the proceeds benefiting\u2026 whom , exactly ? definitely not the people who incurred the lost .\nthe advertisements for the auction say that these crates have never been opened . to me , that means that no one even tried to find the owners and return their property to them . to me , that is inexcusable . in addition to the stress and hassle of having moving companies \u201close\u201d your shipment , this kind of thing is particularly concerning given the threat to personal information security . what if those crates contain personal information such as birth dates , ssns , bank records , or other sensitive info ? this is identity theft waiting to happen .\ni know many of you are probably saying , \u201cbut the service members were reimbursed for the lost property ! \u201d you\u2019re right\u2026 partially . but as any service member who has tried to file a claim will tell you , reimbursements are a huge hassle , and usually only provide a portion of the actual value of what was lost . in all my time in the military , i\u2019ve yet to meet a single person who was like \u201chell yeah , the moving company lost an entire crate of my personal property ! score ! \u201d i think everyone would much , much rather just have their stuff back .\nwith all of the things military families have to deal with , the thought of their \u201clost\u201d personal property auctioned off and the possibility of their personal belongings or personal information out there for the world shouldn\u2019t be one of them . if you agree , let someone important know .\nthe havok journal is a participant in the amazon services llc associates program , an affiliate

( if the long axis of the plots runs across the slope , the lower slope treatment will be in a different environment than the upper slope treatment . ) similarly , if soil characteristics gradually change across the study site , run the long axis of the plots parallel to the gradient of soil variability .

differences between the samples .\nthe ideas discussed in this post can be used for any similar asynchronous operation where you would like to test completion blocks \u2014 we took api calls as an example since they are a very common case ( for the case above , you can also use ohhttpstubs \u2014 but the point we\u2019re trying to illustrate still stands ) . nsinvocation and ocmock form a powerful combination and prove to be a great asset , especially in the scenarios described above . hopefully , this blog post has shown you another option for testing asynchronous code .\nthere are only two ways the levels can be ordered ( 1 then 2 or 2 then 1 ) . so the probability of one block being ordered 1 then 2 is 1 / 2 . the probability of all six blocks showing 1 and then 2 is : 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 = 1 / ( 2 6 ) = 1 / 64 = 0 . 02 .\nsgs has issued the first csc certificate in spain to heidelbergcement spain for the responsible sourcing of concrete .\nsgs has

factors that influence the outcome of the experiment that are not part of the treatment ) are the same for each of the pairs . in this example it is assumed that factors such as soil fertility and

pretoria , south africa .\nwe mocked the api calls with ocmock , a fantastic mocking library that\u2019s also available as a pod . however , since we wanted to test the blocks that we pass in as completion handlers , simple mocking is not enough . most of the code that uses the results of the calls is in the completion blocks . ocmock is very helpful here as well .\nin order to test the library without hitting the web api for every call , we store sample responses ( good and bad ) locally . calling the api with good and bad requests provides us with that sample data . the nytcommentsmanagertest has a method to read and parse the json data from the sample files we store and provide it back to us as a dictionary .\nkeep in mind that the purpose of an experiment is not only to answer a question , but also to provide some indication of the range of circumstances to which the answer applies . for example , if you want to know which of two herbicides to use to control wild oats , it makes a difference to the experimental design whether you want the answer to apply to only one field on one farm or across the entire district . the intended range of generalization tells you how to set up your sample of plots , since the sample o f plots must be representative of the conditions over which you want the answers to apply .\nat its core , the pod makes calls to our comments api and parses the responses ; then it calls the completion handler that was passed to it and uses nsurlconnection sendasynchronousrequest to do the actual fetching . this is great for fetching data from the remote apis without blocking , but it can be tricky to test cleanly .\nall of the data that was fetched from the api was made available via model objects . the manager ( nytcommentsmanager ) class exposes these objects via simple method calls \u2014 one per api call :\nthe values stated in either si units or inch - pound units are to be regarded separately as standard . the values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents ; therefore , each system shall be used independently of the other . combining values from the two systems may result in non - conformance with the standard .\ntreatment is usually either a common practice or no practice . for instance , in a crop variety trial the usual variety grown in the area might be used as the control . in a fertilizer trial , the control treatment might be a strip with no fertilizer applied .\nthere are two advantages to using an rcb design over the replicated measurement t - test design described above . one is the ability to compare numerous treatments using one analysis ( the f - test ) . the second is the ability to separate out differences between replicates caused by environmental gradients ( e . g . , changing topsoil depth ) .\nto compare the results from different treatments , you first compare the results from each treatment with the results from the adjacent control . for example , figure 2 shows a replicated control design with each of the seven treatments adjacent to a control ( c ) . assume treatment 6 yielded 8000 kg / ha and treatment 2 yielded 6000 kg / ha of grain . if you simply compared the two treatments you would conclude that treatment 6 outyielded treatment 2 . however , if the control ( c\nthis standard does not purport to address all of the safety

sets of conditions , and can be integral in making scientifically informed decisions about your business . for example , a web site that wants to increase visitors ' time on its site might consider redesigning its home page . by showing option a to one group of visitors and option b to another group , they have a set of data to compare and can more easily understand how best to meet their goals .\nthe statistical analysis is similar to that used with the rcb design . that is , an anova set up for a split plot is followed by a means comparison test such as the dunn ' s test or dmr test .\nin the following plot for factor 1 , the response for level 2 is higher than the response for level 1 in each of the bars . the level ordering in plot 2 is inconsistent ( sometimes 1 is above 2 and vice - versa ) , so factor 2 is not statistically significant . to figure out if factor 1 is statistically significant , you first have to calculate the probability of that particular level ordering to happen . if you\u2019re rusty on how to find probabilities , start here : what is the probability of a and b .\nin a factorial design , you can simultaneously observe the effect of two or more factors . that is , the design provides information on the average effect of the individual factors as well as the interaction between these two factors . for example , if nitrogen and sulphur fertilizers are the two factors being studied , you could determine if there was an additional effect of nitrogen and sulphur applied together that would not be accounted for by nitrogen or sulphur individually . this design type also allows a wider application of the conclusions reached on the effect of each factor because each factor is tested over a wide range of conditions of other pertinent factors . the statistical analysis used is anova followed by a dmr test .\nthe tough outlaw ' sierra ' bill falls in love with the traveling girl violinist nelly gray . sierra forces her into marrying him . they

there is one treatment and a control condition , or two treatments . suppose that you wish to find out if a new canola variety ( a ) is superior to an older , more commonly used variety ( b ) . you want the study ' s results to apply across a region , so you recruit 20 farmers from across the region to participate in the study . each farmer is prepared to plant either a or b in one field . the farms are then randomly assigned to a or b so that there are 10 f arms in each group . a simple way to randomly assign would be to put the farm names on a list , then take a deck of cards and pick out 10 hearts and 10 spades . shuffle the deck of 20 cards , and then turn them over one at a time as you go down the list of names if a heart is turned over then the farm is assigned to variety a ; if a spade is turned over then the farm is assigned to variety b .\nother test options are\nwilks\n,\nhotelling - lawley\n, and\nroy\n. use summary . aov ( ) to get univariate statistics . tukeyhsd ( ) and

variables in the model and rerun the analyses . for example , fit y ~ a * b for the typeiii b effect and y ~ b * a for the type iii a effect .\nyou can get tukey hsd tests using the function below .

case scenario led flu experts to express concern that the film was sensationalist and could needlessly panic viewers . but\nfatal contact\nis not harebrained science fiction . as many as 50 million people died in the 1918 spanish flu epidemic . there are plenty of experts who say that the strain of avian flu known as a ( h5n1 ) could mutate and spread efficiently among humans . in real life , scientists have said publicly what one movie epidemiologist says to another after the first human case is diagnosed :\nit ' s not a question of if , but when .\na highly contagious , rapidly killing hemorrhagic mutation of bird flu slaughters people in hongkong . preventing its spread is virtually hopeless , as soon is proved in a us country village , which is strictly quarantined by the military . the white house prefers to ' prevent panic ' , even overrules zealous governor mike newsome and reneges earlier emergency plans .\nan outbreak of avian flu mutates into a virus that becomes transmittable from human to human .\nfatal contact\nportrayed a number of difficulties and dilemmas that public health planners are envisioning now as they prepare for a pandemic . some examples include the necessity of rationing vaccine and ventilators , overwhelmed hospitals , the use of overflow hospitals , shortages of healthcare workers as staff members stay home to care for their families , shortages of ordinary drugs and medical supplies , such as insulin , and food shortages caused by disrupted transportation systems .\nan american businessman on his way back home to virginia from hong kong becomes infected with a mutated bird flu strain which is now transmittable from human to human . american authorities attempt to contain the virus before it ' s too late . starring joely richardson , scott cohen , justina machado\nok , we need a protagonist , someone who can stand toe -

sounding name . the doctor , as she will be known , is at the top of her game , fully knowledgeable in all things bird flu and well connected in political circles . she ' s also a frigid control - freak with intimacy issues , spurning lasting relationships for casual sex and distancing herself from any displays of empathy or care .\ncorpse management will be a real concern [ in a pandemic ] , but i can ' t imagine under any condition we would put bodies in the back of a truck and dump them in ,\nsaid osterholm .\ni have been researching the avian h5n1 flu for quite a while now , and was impressed with this film ' s accuracy .\nsecretary stacy keach now dies from the flu . gasp ! even rich and powerful white men can die ? oh no , this\nwe\u2019re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think .\nfirst off , i am fighting a cold today , so this movie done scared the poo out of me . by the time it was over , i was sure i had bird flu , and after spending the next three hours on webmd trying to find out if my persistent cough was the first sign of my lungs liquefying , i had just made myself sicker . i guess that ' s what makes for a powerful film , something that causes such a visceral reaction in the viewer , so in that respect this movie was awesome .\nsmilin ' bob then goes back to his idyllic suburban family in richmond , virginia and proceeds to infect everyone around him with this incurable killer virus . he eventually dies a horrible , blood - splattered death on the sales floor of a wal - mart , but not before he ' s spread his germs around town , to his family , his friends , his coworkers , even his mistress with the big hooters down in yorktown . smilin ' bob is patient zero , the typhoid mary of bird flu , and ground zero is the commonwealth of virginia .\nbut , sadly , that evil little chinese girl will have the last , cackling , blood - curdling laugh , stabbing us through the heart one last time with her jonas brothers pencil . the stinger is the doctor in sweltering equatorial angola , where the bird flu has mutated into a 100 % killer strain that snickers in the face of any vaccine , and now the fate of the human race is sealed . the closing credits roll with the ominous sight of a flock of infected birds flapping over the verdant jungles , surely heading off to kill off the rest of humanity .\nin the early days grocers scandalously increase prices : a pound of coffee sells for $ 19 . within a few weeks supermarket aisles are as barren as russian stores in soviet times .\nmore bad news as the governor ' s child dies from the flu , even though he was sequestered in the bunker . the governor now sees the error of his ways and lifts the ( pointless ) quarantines in his state . he then visits a dumping ground for corpses , a powerful scene staged late at night ( though stolen from\nthe doctor goes to rural china to check on reports of the initial outbreak there ( this is before smilin ' bob comes home ) . quickly , her fears of a killer global flu are realized as it ' s learned that the virus has jumped from animal to human and on to other humans ( which means that this new strain is unknown to medical science and therefore ultimately dangerous to us all ) . she suggests rigorously isolating the town where it started , to cut off all contact with the residents , and hope that maybe this will stop the virus from spreading ( in vain , it seems ) .\nin new york a nurse named alma ansen ( justina machado ) finds herself overwhelmed working at a makeshift flu center consisting of tents erected at the bottom of a subway station . her husband , curtis ( david ramsey ) , a national guardsman , is redeployed to new york from iraq to maintain order in the panic - stricken city . in richmond denise connelly ( ann cusack ) , the widow of patient zero , becomes a community organizer , helping stranded neighbors find scarce help and provisions .\nthe illness in the american businessman who has the first us case in the film clearly resembles the illness that struck many in 1918 . after fits of violent coughing , he suddenly collapses on the job , blood streaming from his nose . he later dies of acute respiratory distress . at his autopsy , a cdc doctor says ,\nhe coughed so violently he tore apart his abdominal muscles . he basically drowned in his own blood .\nmeanwhile , in fort lauderdale , fla . , the country ' s top epidemiologist , dr . iris varnack ( joely richardson ) , is in a black slip , smoking a post -

hoc hospital set up in a subway station ( a stunningly great visual image as the camera follows her down the escalator into the teaming morass of blood and mucus below ) . this is third world medical service , with no medicines , no machines , no sterilization , just helping hands and tearful eyes . the doctors and nurses can do little but try and comfort the dying and remove the dead .\nour show starts in rural china with a young girl hiding her infected chickens from local cops who are rounding up everyone ' s roosters and hens to contain a suspected bird flu outbreak . as it turns out , little peggysue ' s chickens have the dreaded h5n1 bird flu virus and it ' s mutated where it can jump from animals to humans for the first time . as such , the first prime carrier is this seemingly innocent little schoolgirl , and all of what we see next is clearly totally her fault . her conscious decision to shack up with poultry will be the cause of a wave of untold death and destruction like the world has never seen , and she may very well be doing it on purpose for some nefarious reason known only to that unique demographic that likes hannah montana and pepperoni pizza rolls . i believe that she is the fifth horse ( wo ) man of the apocalypse , though as a ten - year old girl i ' m sure she ' ll be riding a sparkly talking unicorn with chiffon wings and a rainbow saddle , and beneath her quaking , paisley pink hooves humanity will be ground into dust .\nin the drama , h5n1 avian flu begins to spread from person to person in china , signaling the start of a pandemic . an american businessman contracts the virus and brings it back to his home in virginia , where he spreads it to others before falling desperately ill . soon , cases are spreading across the united states . as panic spreads , the governor of virginia quarantines neighborhoods where cases have cropped up , and federal officials confess they have no vaccine and scant supplies of antiviral drugs . major socioeconomic disruption sets in , with shortages of food and medical supplies , power outages , and riots in the streets of new york . eventually ( after countless numbing commercials ) , the pandemic begins to subside . but in the final scene , the discovery that the entire population of an angolan village has died heralds a new mutation of the virus and a second wave of cases .\nthe bird flu is really beating up the world hard now , tens of millions are already dead , that number increasing at an insane rate daily . society is breaking down , economies are collapsing , and the very fabric of civilization is unraveling rapidly . the general mood is despair and terror , as everyone is sure this is the end of days . but , hey , relax , we ' ve been through this before , right ? the black death took away half of europe , but they survived , right , hell they even prospered . sure , the spanish flu killed 50 mil , but medical science back then was primitive , with today ' s technology that 1918 outbreak would have been easily contained .\nhe dies not long after he returns to his wife and children in richmond , va . , and becomes patient zero in a public health emergency so vast that no federal agency , state or community is even remotely prepared to handle it .\nthe doctor goes to see the governor of virginia in his command bunker to talk with him about the flu outbreak in his state and his response . she preaches to him about how his harshly - imposed isolation of infected neighborhoods in richmond is a terribly bad idea because it ' s a violation of peoples ' basic human rights to live free , make their own choices , and count on each other for help . hmmm . . . wasn ' t she all gung - ho for isolating that chinese town back in the beginning ? seems odd that she ' s now all\nprotect human rights\nwhen before she was all\nsurround the town with an electric fence\n.\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\nby now , the bird flu is popping up in isolated outbreaks all over the usa ( thanks , smilin ' bob ! ) . it ' s shaping up to be the worst case scenario of all worst case scenarios , the epidemic sweeping away all the carefully laid - out contingency plans and earnestly crafted operational guidelines . there ' s no vaccine , no hope , no time to react , no pause to allow the huge , ungainly machine that is the medical and pharmaceutical communities to come to grips with the fact that people are dying by the thousands hourly and there ' s nothing in their arsenal to fix it . governors band together to call for their national guard troops to return from overseas deployments ( best bit ) . did i mention that this is all that girl ' s fault ?\nthe 200 - plus human cases of h5n1 that have occurred over the past 3 years have been severe as well , of course , but just how closely the movie portrayal resembles them is not clear from our perspective . in any case , in depicting a 1918 - like illness , the producers deliberately chose a worst - case scenario . while disease experts agree that a flu pandemic is inevitable sooner or later , they don ' t believe it will inevitably be as severe as in 1918 . even if the h5n1 virus is the pathogen , in acquiring the ability to spread from person to person , it could become less virulent . the other two 20th century pandemics , in 1957 - 58 and 1968 - 69 , were far milder than 1918 . the fact is that no one knows how severe the next pandemic will be .\nthis is an excellent , well acted well thought out film . the scenarios are very real . i cannot help but surmise that when a major flu pandemic hits , we will react much the way . . .\na good movie that shows how pandemic diseases spread expotentially . as the movie progressed it became rather unrealistic and inconsistent in certain areas .\namazon giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz , reward your audience , and attract new followers and customers .\ni felt this was very well done , it did not pull any punches . it show what could very well happen if , not if but when a flu like this happens . a lot can be learned from this film .\nu . s . officials scramble to maintain order and confront catastrophic results when a deadly strain of avian flu mutates into a global pandemic . joely richardson , stacy keach , justina machado , ann cusack . directed by richard pearce .\nthe end of the film , in which an entire angolan village appears to have been wiped out , is another example of sensationalism . osterholm , who previewed the film but was not involved in it , commented in a news conference this week that the scene\nlooks like the jonestown massacre , not something caused by infectious disease .\na 100 % fatality rate would be highly unlikely with any virus . in fairness , the producers told the new york times that the scene was meant to show a village that was emptied by a combination of evacuation and disease .\nthe governor of virginia , mike newsome ( scott cohen ) , decides he wants to be\nproactive\nand puts endangered neighborhoods in quarantine and barricades his staff and family in a guarded , bio - secure location that dr . varnack dismisses as a\nfortress of solitude .\nforget about hitchcock ' s birds , because in this made - for - television disaster film an outbreak of the dreaded avian flu mutates to cause a worldwide pandemic that will shake the very foundations of modern society . the worst case scenario has finally become a reality . born in hong kong and gradually adapting the traits which allow it to transfer from human to human , the avian flu causes mass panic as tens of millions of men , women , and children rapidly succumb to the its ravaging effects . as panic sweeps through the streets and entire cities are quarantined , humankind will discover that the dreaded black death of the 14th century was merely a minor precursor to the virus that would decimate the entire planet as it threatens the very existence of the human race .\n[ editor pam : i ' ve heard medical experts say that in both those cases , the majority of deaths could have been prevented by modern medicine . of course , if modern sanitation had been in effect at the time of the black death , it probably wouldn ' t have happened . ]\npremise : u . s . officials scramble to maintain order and confront catastrophic results when a deadly strain of avian flu mutates into a global pandemic . joely richardson , stacy keach , justina machado , ann cusack . directed by richard pearce . ( more )\nthe disease shown in the film , aired may 9 , bore a strong resemblance to the illness that killed an estimated 675 , 000 americans in 1918 and 1919 . and a good many of the issues raised came straight out of the us government ' s pandemic preparedness plans and recent news stories about possible pandemic scenarios . but some scenes and details went well beyond what happened in 1918 or what is plausible today . and along the way , important medical details were left out .\nthis one is right on the money . we have already seen this happen but not to the extent thats shown in the movie . it is a very real possibility\nthe governor , by the way , will end up playing a major role in this movie , getting just as much screen time and meaningful dialogue as the doctor .\nthis shopping feature will continue to load items . in order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading .\ni watched this movie for the first time as a requirement in a microbiology class . i was pleasantly surprised how well made the movie was . my son was small at the time & hated shots - 3 hrs in the dr office to try to get them . he watched this movie with me and at the end said\nmommy can i get my flu shot tomorrow\n. this movie explains & showcases how easily a pandemic can happen , what could happen even with emergency preparedness , and leaves you with a sense of\nwow . . .\nto realize that once you think you have a hang on things - viruses mutate . all these years later i ' m still telling people about this movie . i was disappointed it ' s not offered in digital format but was thrilled i could still find it .\nthe production also gave birders and conservationists reason to complain . it began and ended with scenes of wild geese in flight , implying that wild birds are the main carriers of the h5n1 virus around the world . this question is hotly debated , but most experts would probably say that both wild birds and poultry handling practices play a role in spreading the pathogen .\na virus with no cure . a threat with no borders . a nation with no chance of escaping h5n1 , the avian flu . when a mutation of the virus is discovered in a local marketplace , china sends an emergency summons to dr . iris varnack ( joely richardson ) of the epidemic intelligence service . when she arrives , she discovers her efforts may be too late - an american businessman has become the first victim of a strain that is passed from human to human . as the flu begins its insidious spread , secretary of health and human services collin reed ( stacy keach ) races to combat the ensuing chaos . the victim ' s wife , denise connelly ( ann cusack ) , does what she can to help other infected people . it wasn ' t supposed to happen this way - until it did .\nwith jurassic world : fallen kingdom now in cinemas , we take a look at how imdb users rated the films of the franchise . plus , browse exclusive lego\u00ae jurassic world playsets , presented by lego .\nan american businessman flies to hong kong . in guangdong province in southern china , soldiers storm an outdoor market , forcibly confiscating chickens from terrified peasants . the american visitor negotiates production rates with a manager on a factory floor ; a worker on the assembly line coughs . by the time the american is relaxing on the long flight home , his germs are spreading from paper napkin to martini olive to sleeve .\nlet ' s meet the nurse ' s husband , a big strapping soldierboy called back from iraq to do homefront duty in flu - ravaged nyc . they have some genuinely sappy couple - moments as they reconnect and share their fears and concerns about their uncertain future . there is some real on - screen chemistry here , and it wouldn ' t surprise me at all if they ended up dating after the film wrapped ( i hear that sort of thing is common in hollywood ) . the soldier wants his wife the nurse to stay home , worried that her job at the hospital is too dangerous , but she ' s dedicated to saving lives . as is he , clearly , and he knows she ' s only doing what he himself would do .\nfrance is the first country to develop a vaccine , but its leaders refuse to share the patent ; finally , after the international community threatens sanctions , the french surrender . however gratifying , that fantasy is one of the sillier conjectures in the film . france would have no reason to prevent other countries from reproducing the vaccine , and even if it did , nearly all countries have laws that allow them to violate patents in emergencies .\nfor those interested in medical and epidemiologic details , the film left some major questions unanswered . there was no indication of the case - fatality rate , for one thing . it appeared that only two characters who had the disease survived ( the son of the businessman , and a soldier who got sick while in iraq ) , which implied a very high fatality rate . but no clear information was given . nor was there any indication of the age distribution of cases . was it the typical pattern , with the very young and very old most affected ? or did the illness hit young adults the hardest , as occurred in 1918 ? it wasn ' t clear .\n[ editor pam : it ' s a dramatic movie , but in real life , plagues that kill people this quickly also tend to burn out quickly , because their carriers die too fast to spread the disease effectively . ]\nanother example was the film ' s grimmest scene , in which dump trucks back up to a large pit and dump mounds of shrouded human bodies into it . this too may have been inspired by the 1918 experience . in that pandemic , the city of philadelphia was overwhelmed by the number of corpses , and mass graves were used for a time . but there is no record of bodies being unceremoniously dumped , and such a scenario seems inconceivable today .\nthe 1918 pandemic produced similar reports : people collapsing suddenly , coughing up blood , and autopsies revealing lungs clogged with fluid , the imprint of the\ncytokine storm ,\nor immune system overreaction . the businessman ' s copious nosebleed might have seemed sensational , but it had a basis in fact .\nthe nosebleed was described in 1918 ,\nsaid michael t . osterholm , phd , mph , director of cidrap .\nthey made it fairly extreme .\nyou know , i have to agree with the governor on this , he should totally isolate any infected areas while he still has some semblance of order in richmond . i don ' t have any problem with the government taking over in a crisis situation , this is why we pay taxes , and i have an expectation that my duly - elected representatives will do whatever needs to be done to preserve the union , even if it means sending troops into the streets and ringing an infected housing complex with barbed wire and claymores . in almost every situation imaginable that involves large - scale organization and execution of plans , the government / military do a vastly better job than us regular citizens ( suck it , ron paul ) . soldiers have the leadership , training , and material wherewithal to handle mega - crisis situations , plus they get inoculations by the gallon every year and their immune systems are surely better suited to survive in a flu outbreak . the government , both state and national , has the authority and command and control systems needed to do everything needed better , be it routing supplies to hard - hit areas to keeping the lights on and the trains running . i ' m all for temporarily giving up my constitutional rights if it means keeping society from collapsing . hell , stamp me with the mark of the new world order right now .\nit is true that it showed almost like a documentary ; and i liked that about this movie . many disaster movies focus on several troubled relationship and the main theme of the disaster is only a back drop ; not so with this film . after watching this movie , i actually felt that i knew more about avion flu and how various government agencies might deal with the problems that develop .\nthe sex and tobacco are sweeps red herrings , however : once her pager goes off , dr . varnack is on her way to china to check out reports of human - to - human transmission of the avian flu . by the time she is summoned to washington by the secretary of health and human services , collin reed ( stacy keach ) , she has no good news to share .\nvisiting that very factory that very day is an american businessman , who looks frighteningly like smilin ' bob , the guy from all those enzyte male - enhancement commercials . smilin ' bob rolls in and throws his import company - given weight around , talking down to the chinese managers , issuing vague threats of cancelled orders and un - reimbursed warehouse expenses , and has the audacity to explain the just - in - time inventory system to them like they are children . thankfully , he gets infected by the dad .\non the vaccine front , the movie made a bad situation look even worse . it depicted the government as having no vaccine at all at the outset of the pandemic . in reality , the government is stockpiling a\npre - pandemic\nvaccine based on the h5n1 virus . the supply is small , and studies have shown it takes two large doses to generate an adequate immune response , which occurs in only about half of those vaccinated . but this vaccine would probably be better than nothing if a pandemic began today .\nher dad gets the flu but still does his shift at the local bottle factory . he is hacking and coughing all over everyone , not even having the common courtesy to cover his mouth with his sleeve or keep his germy egg salad sandwich off the break room table . this is why you have sick hours , so that you don ' t give other people your illnesses , in the long run you ' ll be saving the company much more costs from lost man - hours if you just stay home and get well before coming back to work ( i have this conversation all the time . . . ) . but if he did that , i suppose we wouldn ' t have much of a movie .\nanother scene in the film has armed men trying to seize a van carrying a supply of vaccine , only to be shot by soldiers . that looked extreme , but osterholm found it conceivable .\ni don ' t think that one was necessarily unreal ,\nhe says .\nserious now ! before , when it was just poor people and minorities ( and . . . shudder . . . foreigners ) , it was bad , but you know , not too bad , but now the flu is killing off well - connected princeton - educated white men who sip brandy and attend charity balls at the met . all is indeed lost ! the doctor even sheds a tear , the first actual sign that she ' s not a cylon cyborg .\nthe doctor then flies back home and meets with health and human services secretary stacy keach in washington to discuss the flu outbreak ( which she predicts will be here soon ) . it ' s a media circus , as a worried public is demanding both answers and solutions from the government , and they can ' t offer anything more constructive than\nremember to wash your hands !\n. i really thought this movie was going to make the government the bad guys , cardboard cut - outs of evil power - hungry politicians with unscrupulous agendas , but much to my surprise the majority of the governmental officials we see really truly care about what happens to the citizens of the country . they are shown as sympathetic and proactive , if understandably concerned about their own districts as well .\npeople were , you know , not white americans . having the heroine be a racist would certainly add an original note to a tv movie , but i bet this movie isn ' t going to go that far . this attitude of hers is probably just a sop to civil libertarians in the audience . ]\nfulfillment by amazon ( fba ) is a service we offer sellers that lets them store their products in amazon ' s fulfillment centers , and we directly pack , ship , and provide customer service for these products . something we hope you ' ll especially enjoy : fba items qualify for free shipping and amazon prime .\nthe film begins with a flock of migrating geese in flight , their wings flapping to ominous hitchcockian music . ( this is not your parents '\nbirds .\n) the film then locks on to a handful of central characters whose entwined experiences define and track the pandemic . some survivors are more resilient than others , but most overcome despair and rise to the occasion .\nin some scenes , the movie clearly went over the top . one was the governor ' s decision to quarantine some neighborhoods behind chain link and barbed wire , an obviously futile measure with the pandemic well under way .\ni can ' t imagine any elected official doing that ,\nsaid osterholm .\ni think pressure would be brought to bear by other government leaders\nto prevent it .\nmeanwhile , the rest of world is beginning to die , though it ' s only seen through tv news reports playing in the background of scenes . i do appreciate the small - scale focus this movie takes , concentrating just on the outbreak ' s effects on richmond and new york city . it gives us a more intimate feel for the apocalypse than if they had tried to do location shoots scattered all over the place .\nthe long and lean ms . richardson (\nnip / tuck\n) looks terrific in a white hazmat suit , but her low - key , almost blank affect is a bit odd for the role . the stilted dialogue does not help .\nthere ' s going to be a long and brutal ordeal that will rip apart the fabric of society ,\nshe warns . dr . varnack is on the front line of the worst crisis of the 21st century , but most of the time she seems stoned .\noff to new york city now to meet the nurse , a cute latina woman who will be our secondary female lead . her hospital is swamped under with sick / think - they ' re - sick people , they are out of everything , and half the other nurses have quit , but she ' s still trying to do what ' s right , still clocking in everyday and saving lives the best she can . her very human reactions to the death and dying all around her serve to balance out the cold , analytical detachment of the doctor . and she has pretty hair .\n) . maybe i ' m heartless , but i ' m still of the ( admittedly unpopular and possibly heinous ) opinion that what the world needs is a serious thinning of the population if the environment is ever going to be allowed a chance to heal itself . i ' m a closet eco - terrorist and a firm believer in overpopulation being the number one danger to our planet ' s long - term survival , and i ' d be out there on the frontline of the fight against mankind raping mother nature if i didn ' t have to be at work at seven tomorrow and if i didn ' t have tickets to\nto further swell our hearts with hope and encouragement , we hear that the nurse and the soldier are going to have a child ( yay , though who would want to have a baby in such an environment of loss and devastation ? ) . she surprises him with a book of baby names , and he surprises her with a candlelit dinner and an impromptu salsa dance on the rooftop while sappy music plays and strands of christmas lights twinkle . and this little ray of sunshine , this little green shoot of life , is the scene this movie should end with . a tear - stained reminder that , no matter what troubles befall us , love and family will endure .\n\u00a9 2018 regents of the university of minnesota . all rights reserved . the university of minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthis tv movie is well worth watching especially if you are a disaster movie fan . the movie shows events from several points of view ( a nurse , soldier , politician , a family and a pandemic expert ) and builds on most of the characters quite well . the acting is acceptable as is how the story flows , the ending is clearly left that way to allow for a follow - up tv series which obviously did not go ahead , so does have a feeling of wanting it to continue to conclusion but the movie does progress far enough to make this a stand alone story . certainly thought provoking and one of the more believable and credible potential disasters that could occur .\n0 of 0 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\nfree 5 - 8 business - day shipping within the u . s . when you order $ 25 of eligible items sold or fulfilled by amazon .\nor get 4 - 5 business - day shipping on this item for $ 5 . 99 .

[ 16 ]\nthe film is at its best as blackthorn is forced to rethink things as a result of his uneasy alliance with eduardo , with noriega excellent as a reflection of the bandit ' s earlier self . stephen rea turns up as mackinley , a pinkerton man and a javert to blackthorn ' s butch , who never believed the last of the wild bunch died . he ' s an old drunk , long disgraced , whose path once again crosses blackthorn ' s , bringing with it the possibility of redemption .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nfantasia film festival reviews : ' return to nuke ' em high vol . 1 , ' ' antisocial ' & ' discopath '\nin 2003 , the film was selected for the united states national film registry by the library of congress as being\nculturally , historically , or aesthetically significant .\nthe american film institute ranked butch cassidy and the sundance kid as the 49th - greatest american film on its\nafi ' s 100 years . . . 100 movies ( 10th anniversary edition )\nlist . butch cassidy and the sundance kid were ranked 20th greatest heroes on\nafi ' s 100 years . . . 100 heroes and villains\n.\nthat allure of the old west is hard to resist . the film reminds just how arresting an actor shepard can be .\nthis list collects every film from the starting list that became they shoot pictures don ' t they ' s 1000 greatest films . this\u2026\nit ' s a perfect part for shepard , and\nblackthorn\nprovides considerable pleasure just in watching him ride a horse and bark around .\ntesis has generated much critical analysis due to its study of the fascination of violence . film critic leora lev discusses angela ' s ethical rejection and simultaneous attraction to violent images as this film ' s primary conversation . lev states that angela ' s psychosexual conflict with both the snuff film and the murderer , bosco , is emblematic of the culture that consumes violent films and reality television series .

[ 2 ] although tesis fits the suspenseful mold of a hollywood horror flick rather than its symbol - rich european counterpart , according to european film critic marguerite la caze , tesis has a thesis :\nhuman beings , no matter how well - meaning , are attracted to violence and death in all its forms .\n[ 3 ]\nbutch cassidy and the sundance kid also won numerous british academy film awards , including best film , best direction , best screenplay , best cinematography , best actor ( won by redford though newman was also nominated ) , and best actress for katharine ross , among others .

[ 23 ]\nstill , there is that allure of the old west that is hard to resist , and there ' s plenty of grist in the story worth milling and mulling . if nothing else , the film reminds just how arresting an actor shepard can be . like blackthorn , he ' s only gotten better with age .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nthough gil is primarily known as a screenwriter , most often in collaboration with spanish director alejandro amen\u00e1bar (\nthe sea inside\ntheir best known work here ) ,\nblackthorn\nis a film of few words . silence stretches across the movie like the plains and salt flats blackthorn crosses . he ' s left his house and the girl behind , and is on his way to see the now - grown boy who was raised as sundance ' s son but may be his own .\nthe film , blackthorn , is a spanish production with mostly english dialogue , written and directed by screenwriter mateo gil ( open your eyes , the sea inside ) . much of it was shot 15 , 000 feet above sea level in bolivia , which provided stunning landscapes . it was , shepard recalls , a unique experience .\nthe song that blackthorn sings when the two of them finally get horse , is the same song that clint eastwood sings in two mules for sister sara when he is drunk .\nthe role of sundance was offered to jack lemmon , whose production company , jml , had produced the film cool hand luke ( 1967 ) starring newman . lemmon , however , turned down the role ; he did not like riding horses , and he felt he had already played too many aspects of the sundance kid ' s character before . [ 8 ] other actors considered for the role of sundance were steve mcqueen and warren beatty , who both turned it down , with beatty claiming that the film was too similar to bonnie and clyde . according to goldman , mcqueen and newman both read the scripts at the same time and agreed to do the film . mcqueen eventually backed out of the film due to disagreements with newman . the two actors would eventually team up in the 1974 disaster film the towering inferno .\ntesis ( thesis ) is a 1996 thriller spanish film . it is the feature debut of director alejandro amen\u00e1bar , and was written by amenabar and mateo gil . the film was made while he was still studying at universidad complutense in madrid [ 1 ] the movie won seven 1996 goya awards ( the spanish equivalent of an oscar ) , including the award for best film , best original screenplay , and best director . it stars spanish actors , ana torrent , fele mart\u00ednez and eduardo noriega .\nblackthorn follows the oft spoken myth that the legendary outlaw butch cassidy didn\u2019t die at the hands of the bolivian army in 1908 , but instead made it out alive to live out the remainder of his days in hiding . the film is set in 1927 , almost twenty years after his outlaw days alongside the sundance kid ( who did meet his maker in south america ) , and follows the traditional elegiac and somewhat revisionist path in its depiction of a folkhero of the west , his day long passed , now reaching the twilight of his years . but apart from that , blackthorn is a film which seems to be equally as much about how the western genre itself is a relic out of time in\u2026\ni am not quite sure why this movie has such a bad viewer rating . i looked at the poor reviews for this film and they are all written by people who lack any kind of film sense , because all they could say about it is that it was\nboring\n. let me apologize for the film makers for the lack of gratuitous violence , explosions , chase scenes , sex scenes , and all other kinds of plot fillers that in the end really do make an\nawesome\nmovie ( that was major sarcasm for those of you who didn ' t smell what i was stepping in ) . this movie is non - fiction so for those complaining about its lack of historical accuracy need to learn to read a little about a film before watching . the plot was great , but like many have said it is a sobering , medium pace film . the acting was great , and so was the scenery . i truly do appreciate a film that makes it difficult for me to predict the plot or outcomes during the film , and this is one of those . it also does a fantastic job of provoking emotional attachment and sympathy / hatred for many of the characters .\n\u201ci thought the film might be different from other american westerns , especially as it was spanish and shot in bolivia . and i think it turned out that way . \u201d\na spiritual successor to butch cassidy and the sundance kid , blackthorn takes a look at where butch cassidy has been after the end of the first . the story follows the same general structure as the original film , and shares some of the musical scenes . this film is much more grim than the original as it lacks paul newman ' s charisma and wit . sam shepard does a good job at portraying an old , grizzled version of the character . the dialogue is sometimes stiff , but isn ' t enough to ruin the movie .\nblackthorn is still another butch cassidy and sundance kid movie . it is very good because of the acting by sam shepard who is always good in all his films . the plot is alright .\ntime magazine said the film ' s two male stars are\nafflicted with cinematic schizophrenia . one moment they are sinewy , battered remnants of a discarded tradition . the next they are low comedians whose chaffing relationship\u2014and dialogue\u2014could have been lifted from a batman and robin episode .\n[ 12 ] time also criticized the film ' s score as absurd and anachronistic .\na classically minimalist western , mateo gil ' s\nblackthorn\nproposes that butch cassidy did not die in bolivia in 1908 , but instead spent the next 20 years there turning into sam shepard .\nalthough shepard is perfectly cast as a world - weary outlaw reluctantly drawn into one more adventure , the movie doesn ' t quite justify the resuscitation of classic film characters for another outing .\nty burr , boston globe :\nplaying the aging outlaw butch cassidy , sam shepard is the nominal star of ' blackthorn , ' and he\u2019s fine - grizzled and laconic in the best western tradition .\nblackthorn started out a little slow but paid off in the end . in this film , butch cassidy survived the gun fight where he famously died and is now known as james blackthorn . he is hiding in bolivia as a rancher . it is a good story , though a little slow as it builds but in the end caught me by surprise with how it ended . shepard was a good choice to play the lead role . he added a humble and believable quality to the outlaw . i also really liked the setting . from the scenery to the the bolivian people the location gives a different look to this otherwise traditional western .\nin bolivia , butch cassidy ( now calling himself james blackthorn ) pines for one last sight of home , an adventure that aligns him with a young robber and makes the duo a target for gangs and lawmen alike .\na classic old - fashioned western , every bit as good as ' butch cassidy and the sundance kid ' . a beautiful and powerful film . sam shepard gives the performance of his career .\nliving under the alias james blackthorn , while sundance\u2019s fate is detailed in wistful flashbacks , he is roped into one last escapade by young spanish prospector eduardo ( eduardo noriega ) , on the lam after stealing from a magnate .\nperhaps it\u2019s the rich variety of his life that allows him to treat today\u2019s film industry with scepticism : \u201ci don\u2019t do much screenwriting anymore , because everyone tries to tell you what to do . on every film , there are producers all over the place , and everyone\u2019s got to have an opinion . i think the screenplay is a beautiful form with great potential , but the environment around it is awful for a writer .\nmatt singer , urltoken :\nthe simple but effective ' blackthorn ' casts playwright and actor sam shepard in the title role , and if ever a man deserved the nickname\nbutch ,\nit ' s sam shepard . gruff and silvered but still handsome at age 67 , he looks every bit the badass cowboy in the autumn of his years . the film puts most of the dramatic load on shepard ' s grizzled shoulders ; his understated line readings carry most of the film while beautiful frontier cinematography by juan ruiz anch\u00eda does the rest . shepard ' s worldweary performance and anch\u00eda ' s stark camerawork elevate the material beyond your standard revisionist western fare .\ndustin j trost , montgomery news :\nthe driving force behind \u201cblackthorn\u201d is definitely sam shepard . he brings to life the lonesome old man who is tired of living in solitude and is ready to come home . . . even with its minor flaws and disappointing ending , ' blackthorn ' delivers a western worthy of the genre . sam shepard delivers an award - worthy performance as the legendary butch cassidy late in life , and definitely lives up to the reputation .\na western in possession of a social conscience , but without lapsing into preaching or patronising , this is an unassuming film in some ways , but ultimately it ' s self -

frame of jean - pierre l\u00e9aud on the beach that concludes truffaut ' s les quatre cents coups . such a finale should preclude a sequel . but long before the 1969 picture it was believed that butch and sundance might have survived the shootout in san vicente and secretly returned to the states , just as some believe that fletcher christian , the leader of the mutiny on the bounty , returned to england from pitcairn island . there is little hard evidence for this , but then there is no specific proof of their deaths , and in blackthorn , mateo gil , the spanish film - maker best known for his screenplays for alejandro amen\u00e1bar , offers a fascinating imaginary sequel to the story of butch and sundance .\nit ' s been said ( but unsubstantiated ) that butch cassidy and the sundance kid were killed in a standoff with the bolivian military in 1908 . in blackthorn , cassidy ( shepard ) survived , and is quietly living out his years under the name james blackthorn in a secluded bolivian village . tired of his long exile from the us and hoping to see his family again before he dies , cassidy sets out on the long journey home . but when an unexpected encounter with an ambitious young criminal ( eduardo noriega ) derails his plans , he is thrust into one last adventure , the likes of which he hasn ' t experienced since his glory days with the sundance kid . -

in - the - bone way the human figure inhabits the [ \u2026 ]\nthe film for the most part serves to increase the legend of butch cassidy . it is a film contains all the inherent staples of the western genre , and as such it has to be considered at least a minor success . of course , as in any western , the atmosphere has to at least be passable , and in this respect the south american landscape is more than capable . the story itself finds butch crossing paths with robber eduardo . it is through this relationship of with eduardo that butch ' s nostalgic musings on the past can be found . it is also through eduardo that we see that while the times may have changed , the character of butch has stayed the same .\nblackthorn is a thoroughly decent western that takes up where butch cassidy and the sundance kid left off . there ' s no newman or redford , of course . instead , actor / playwright sam shepard is a grizzled , bewhiskered butch , who somehow escaped the bolivian shoot - out in which he was reportedly killed . twenty years later , he goes by the name of james blackthorn and is living quietly on a remote bolivian ranch . but he has to take up his guns again when he crosses paths with a sundance - style kid ( eduardo noriega ) with stolen money in his saddlebags , and half of bolivia hard on his heels to get hold of it . stephen rea plays a hangdog ex - pinkerton detective , and nicolaj coster - waldau , from tv ' s game of thrones , portrays the young butch in brief flashbacks that link past with present . the film plods at times but , by and large , it ' s a gripping watch . with westerns rarer than hen ' s teeth , and decent westerns even rarer , this is certainly one that genre fans should seek out .\nthe engineer , however , is a devious charmer , treacherous and deceitful in ways that blackthorn cannot understand . and along the way there are violent encounters , deprivations and puzzling moral decisions that contrast with the playful flashbacks to the time blackthorn / cassidy was travelling with the sundance kid and their shared lover , the beautiful etta place ( dominique mcelligott ) . it ' s in the first of these flashbacks that we encounter mackinley ( stephen rea ) , a pinkerton detective and stern upholder of the law who has come out of drunken local retirement to join in the pursuit of the newly notorious butch . the outlaw and the lawman realise there ' s an ambiguous bond between them in this radically changed world . butch gradually discovers that , like the gang in peckinpah ' s the wild bunch , he ' s been lured into working with the wrong side in linking his fortunes to the engineer . his instinct for and trust in friendship has betrayed him . gil ' s sinuous film is cleverly plotted , and it ends with a flashback and final freeze - frame of butch , sundance and etta in their happy , earlier days in america .\nwe meet in paris . he approaches me among the crowds on boulevard saint - germain , a celebrated man who has mastered the trick of going unnoticed in public . he walks alone , without a retinue . as a film actor , he excels at playing soft -

screen is perfect for this aging cowboy . he speaks volumes within his silence , and when the words do arrive he is undeniably charismatic in butch cassidy\u2019s skin . he carries the film on his capable shoulders and we , the audience , are able to connect and sympathize with his loss and desire to return home . this is a stunning , understated performance that should be remembered .\ncalvin wilson , post dispatch :\ngil keeps things interesting , pursuing a vibe that owes as much to the spaghetti western as it does to the classic american variety . but what really makes the film must watching is shepard , whose mug should be in the dictionary next to\ngrizzled .\nindeed , the pulitzer prize - winning playwright is a woefully underrated actor .\npaste magazine :\nthe great sam shepard invests the role with an understated dignity and gravitas . perhaps too much so to be historically accurate , but historical accuracy isn\u2019t what gil is after here . ' blackthorn ' is a character study , and shepherd is one of the most interesting actors of his generation . his silences are fascinating , and his clipped ( and infrequent ) speech escapes his lips only reluctantly .\n. featuring two young actors , tom berenger and william katt , with uncanny resemblances to newman and redford , the film took a quirky but generally realistic look at frontier life as it related to the pair ' s early criminal life and friendship , ending in the 1890s at the point where they were becoming aware of being legends , leaders of a gang called the wild bunch . by this point robert leroy parker was styling himself butch cassidy and harry longabaugh was known as the sundance kid . the film was advertised as\na prequel\n, one of the earliest uses of this neologism , and in my 1979 review i rather pedantically objected to what i called\nan etymologically meaningless term\n, suggesting it was unnecessary when prelude , prologue , preamble and prolegomena remained available .\nblackthorn imagines what would have happened to butch cassidy if he had miraculously survived his famous last stand in bolivia . it is an intriguing idea ripe with possibility as we follow an ageing , and now ex , outlaw pining for home . yet there is a familiarity to the themes here ; the old grizzled criminal struggling to find a place in a world that has long since moved on whilst looking back at his glory days .\nnick shager , slant magazine :\nshepard plays the role as\na crotchety ex - badass with a no - nonsense attitude and a resignation to his potentially dire fate at the hands of a six - shooter . . . he ' s a grizzled old loner who periodically indulges in memories of happier times alongside his famous compatriot . . .

- the killing fields and city of joy - - is one of the few directors who can make a gripping film while respecting the moral integrity and purpose of his characters . whether in the da vinci code or camino , the portrayal of opus dei usually has almost nothing to do with the reality . there be dragons looks set to put that right .\ni worry about the other settlements in the hold . unwalled , lightly manned -

life events underlying the film \u2014 say , featurettes on st . josemar\u00eda , opus dei or the spanish civil war \u2014 it might have been worth checking out more for those than for the actual film .\nintriguing title aside , the mythical fire -

day catholic saint josemaria escriva against the backdrop of the spanish civil war . what\u2019s changed in the quarter - century since \u201cthe mission\u201d is the fact that such a classically styled david lean - like vision now finds itself relegated to arthouse screens , while comicbook heroes and cg dragons crowd the venues where this epic - scale opus might have found a mainstream following .\nthere be dragons is one of those few faith - based films that knows what\ncinematic\nlooks and sounds like . it is photographed by gabriel beristain with a clear eye for decadence . spain , whether it ' s 1911 , or the 1980 ' s , comes alive here . the action sequences and the level of historical detail would make stanley kubrick proud .\npfr : i appreciate your time , and it will be interesting to see how the movie does .\ngreater use of data . table . however , the syntax is quite different from base r and the tidyverse so there\u2019s a small learning curve . additionally , there is the issue of vector vs . data . table return types mentioned above .\nhere be dragons . the words supposedly contain every difference between ancient maps and our own . where old maps were illustrated and incomplete , ours are accurate and photographed from the sky . old maps were pricey and precious ; ours are nearly free and ubiquitous .\nmaybe it\u2019s this : those famous words served as a warning to the map\u2019s original users and a kind of flourish from the map\u2019s artisan makers . to us , they seem to comment both on the travails of the terrain ( \u201cwe don\u2019t know what\u2019s here ! \u201d ) and about the dangers of ignorance ( \u201cthere might as well be dragons in this unknown spot ! \u201d ) .\ndragons breathing fire in the sky . vampires brazenly attacking people on the street . it ' s the end of the world i tell you .\njaime ' s charge at dany and drogon might be one of my favourite moments of the entire show .\nyou fulfilled your promise to catelyn stark my lady .\n=\nthere has never lived a more loyal squire .\n' tis a wicked axe you wield there , friend . that blade looks sharp enough to cut through a god .\nword is the college of mages is back to normal . if there ' s such a thing for that lot .\ntwitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup . try again or visit twitter status for more information .\ni ' d be a lot warmer and a lot happier with a bellyful of mead . . .\nno matter what else happens , the guards will always be grateful for everything you ' ve done .\nall right , but you just watch yourself . next time , i might not be so lenient .\ni agree that this is perhaps one of the show ' s best episodes , and i think this episode is going to be talked about a lot . personally , this beats hardhome for me . the tension , the sounds from the dothraki to the dragons , absolutely incredible .\nthere be dragons ,\nwritten and directed by twice oscar - nominated roland joffe (\nthe killing fields\nand\nthe mission\n) , is not a biopic of st . josemaria escriva . instead , joffe set aside the original script and wrote a fictional story based on themes of love and forgiveness that he gleaned from reading more about escriva and watching video tapes of him speaking with people .\nthere be dragons is particularly frustrating because the spanish civil war is so seldom dealt with in any depth by films . guillermo del toro \u2019s magical duo , pan\u2019s labyrinth and the devil\u2019s backbone , and ken loach \u2019s land and freedom come to mind . yet this is still fertile ground for a filmmaker anxious to explore issues of morality in war , forgiveness , matters of conscience and families riven by civil strife .\n\u2014 there\u2019s one nut we have not been able to crack : anchoring bespoke data visualization as a full fledged profession in corporate settings .\nyou don ' t seem to realize there ' s a war on . what you are is a damn imperial spy !\nthere was some ruckus over by that weird black door . you weren ' t involved in that craziness , were you ?\nthe st . josemaria institute is collecting comments and anecdotes from all over the country in response to the film \u201cthere be dragons\u201d . several friends of the institute are contributing in depth , personal reflections on the film and have allowed us to post them on our blog . if you would like to share your \u201creflection\u201d with the friends of the institute , please forward your ( one -

) and smiling approvingly at josemar\u00eda\u2019s assessment ( cinnamon ! ) , honorio upbraids manolo , not for guessing wrong , but for \u201cscoffing at what he can\u2019t experience . \u201d\nseems like capturing riften is turning out to be more of a hassle than a benefit . but what do i know ?\nbeen a murder , over in riften . some old lady who runs an orphanage . those poor children must be heartbroken .\nthere is the old plot trick where characters ending up in a river can resurface many miles away - having apparently been carried away by the current off camera .\nmy heart goes out to clan shatter - shield . kin murdered , family warhammer stolen . . . there ' s no fairness in all that .\nthere ' s no mistake . you ' re a wanted man / woman . . . and it ' s time to pay for your crimes .\nwatercutter : would it be awful if i said the answer was \u201cpatriarchy\u201d ?

, 2011 . but aside from kamilah willingham\u2019s assertions in the hunting ground , there is no evidence to suggest he is dangerous or a predator . nor do willingham\u2019s claims of institutional indifference hold up ; harvard twice delayed winston\u2019s education while its own and later middlesex county\u2019s adjudication processes unfolded . neither found evidence to substantiate

which illuminates in damning detail the prevalence of sexual violence at american universities - are ramping up their attacks just in time for the hunting ground ' s prime time debut on cnn this sunday , november 22 . and if they aren ' t careful , their aspersions might dovetail with the massive audience cnn commands to result in a spectacular backfire : for the film ' s central premise is that whistle blowers on campus sexual violence are demonized and delegitimized by the very same universities who are going on the offensive in advance of sunday ' s screening .\n\u201cthe reason i participated in the law professors\u2019 press release is not that a student came forward and complained about sexual assault , nor that she complained in the criminal process , \u201d halley said . \u201cit is that \u2018the hunting ground\u2019 has profoundly misled the public about the ensuing processes which came out decisively against those claims . \u201d\nchiding cnn for deciding to screen the hunting ground , fsu president john thrasher excoriated the film for its \u201cmajor distortions and glaring omissions . \u201d its producers have fallen into the same trap as rolling stone \u2019s editors did with their discredited story about gang rape at the university of virginia , wrote thrasher .\nin short , the hunting ground relies on false statistics and twisted accusations in order to convince its audience of a preferred narrative that rape is around every corner of college campuses . this wouldn ' t be necessary if the problem was as real and as rampant as they claim .\nannie e . clark is the executive director of end rape on campus and is featured in the documentary ,\nthe hunting ground ,\nwhich airs on sunday , november 22 , 2015 , at 8 p . m . est on cnn . the opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author .\nwhat is the subtle profit ? it arises at the end of the ' documentary .

despite the added value of color , silents were already old news .\n\u201cthen , after having learned how to make gelatin relief matrices of good quality , we tackled the problem of making adequate transfers from those matrices . we had to learn how to prepare the blank film so as to permit imbibition without diffusion . we had to devise a transfer machine capable of handling film in long lengths and in quantities , and in which blank and matrix could be brought into registered contact and held there for several minutes while the dyes transferred .\n( ruedel , ulrich ( 2009 ) : the technicolor notebooks at the george eastman house . in : film history , volume 21 , number 1 , 2009 , pp . 47 - 60 , on pp . 49 - 50 )\nthe pinbelt design was a breakthrough in the development of the i . b . process . the metal belt , dyed matrix film , and blank film came into contact simultaneously , and remained in continuous motion together for several minutes until separated . 16 the blank was then run through an additional pass , this time in contact with the dyed matrix film for the second color record . the pinbelt was joined in a loop , and formed part of a large printing line . rows of pins along each edge of the metal belt held the blank and matrix taut and in register . while moving continuously the matrix film was unrolled , submerged in a dye tank , partially rinsed to remove excess dye , and pressed into contact with the blank . it was then washed of all remaining dye , dried , and prepared for the same procedure again . the crucial point where all three came into contact was dubbed the \u201croll tank\u201d .\nin addition to the slick scenario from elizabeth pickett , redskin benefits from the natural beauty of its new mexico and arizona scenery . the movie also enjoyed cooperation from the navajo , as shown by the scenes of sand painting . the very fact that both the pueblo and navajo are portrayed as distinct and separate cultures with different dress , customs , housing and economies is a refreshing change from the generic tomahawk / tipi / war - bonnet portrayals of american indians that were all too common during this period of filmmaking .\nas an actor , dix was a powerhouse . he had natural screen presence that allowed him to quietly take control of his scenes . however , unlike many other equally forceful stars , he was able to dial things back to convey softer emotions . redskin called for all of his versatility . he needed to be able to show his love for his father but also the stubbornness that prevents their reconciliation . he had to face down his childhood tormentor and project exhaustion , inner rage and dignity . it\u2019s all very impressive ,\nalso during this period , technicolor increased film speeds between two and three times that of process number two . this was accomplished by hypersensitizing the panchromatic camera negative by bathing it in ammonia or some other mildly alkaline solution prior to exposure .\nguerin , p . j . , mack sennett color film co . ltd .

blue image produced by the other matrix . the transferred print was then washed and dried and was ready for projection . 31\nthe rights to the film have changed hands and have been licensed to multiple distributors , so it has been released under at least three distinct covers , making it look as if there were several animated features out there , rather than just this one , the disney film , and one other . the names attached to this production include children ' s video of america , pulse distribution and entertainment , bei bogner entertainment , gaiam americas , genius entertainment , nutech digital , and payless entertainment .\npeter pan is an australian 50 - minute direct - to - video animated film from burbank films australia , part of a series of low - budget adaptations of classic literature . it was originally released in 1988 , taking advantage of the lapse of the original play ' s copyright in australia , 50 years after j . m . barrie ' s death in 1937 . the story was adapted by paul leadon . the film was produced by roz phillips and featured music composed by john stuart .\nthe 510 reels discovered by the construction crew were in different states of decomposition , and all were damp . the national film archive of canada rescued them , salvaged what they could , which came to about 425 reels , and began transferring the survivors to safety stock . 190 reels of us productions were transferred to the library of congress for conservation , including this only surviving copy of bliss . with so many silent films lost , each reel is an invaluable piece of the puzzle that is film history .\n\u201cdr . troland : there is no absolutely prerequisite intensity , but we favor one of about 10 millilamberts , which is about equivalent to a 10 foot - candle illumination on the average screen . the measurement is made with the shutter running and is the apparent brightness of the screen under these conditions . regarding the relative non - inflammability of technicolor positive , this is due to the fact that the film contains no metallic silver to absorb the heat rays and raise its temperature to the ignition point . the coloring materials which are used are almost wholly transparent to infra - red radiation , and they have about the same absorption as gelatin or film base . of course , the nitrocellulose base is just as inflammable as ever , but the heat passes through instead of being taken up by the film . we have found it possible with a mazda lamp source to stop the film in the gate indefinitely without its being ignited . however , this is not recommended with a high intensity or other arc lamp . \u201d\nbut americans are not quick to describe our treatment of the indians as genocide , and even a somewhat revisionist film like\ngeronimo\nis careful to describe the conflicts between the u . s . government and indian\nhostiles\nas a war .\nthis complicated moral tapestry is what keeps the film fresh and modern . the characters are not bad or good because of their skin color or national loyalties . they are , first and foremost , people . some basically good characters cause harm without meaning to .\n( neale , steve ( 1985 ) : the beginnings of technicolor . in : angela dalle vacche and brian price ( eds . ) : color . the film reader . new york : routledge , 2006 , pp . 13\u201323 , on pp . 14\u201315 . )\namerican me . edward james olmos reveals the prison drug scene and los angeles street gangs in a stark , bleak film . 1992 . mca / universal . $ 94 . 98 . ld , $ 39 . 98 . 2 : 05 . cc . r .\ntechnicolor was fully aware that dye - transfer was a viable and potentially lucrative manufacturing technique for black & white release prints . this potentiality was not lost on kodak , either . in an off - the - books arrangement technicolor agreed with the film manufacturer not to pursue further development . despite promising good results , a black & white i . b . printing process could have been detrimental to one of kodak\u2019s main sources of income if it came into widespread use . \u201cthere was a supposed agreement with eastman kodak not to print black and white , \u201d remembered edward estabrook . \u201cthe matrix system allowed you to make black and white prints for a fraction of the normal cost . the cost advantage was based on the use of blank film instead of film with emulsion which eliminated the silver . \u201d 44\nd\u2019haeyere , h .

green . imbibition processing improved the method by dyeing each negative\u2019s relief - image print ( its \u2018matrix\u2019 ) and immediately stamping it onto another film ; the process resembled half - tone lithography . \u201d\nacoma pueblo ( where corn blossom lives in redskin ) contains the oldest continuously inhabited homes in the us . native americans have lived here since 1150 ad . the pueblo people settled the top of this mesa , 367 feet above the valley , at 7000 ft above sea level to escape marauding bands of navajo and apache ( a conflict echoed in the plot ) . in 1929 , the only way to the top was a series of hand holds carved out of the rock , and the movie company asked permission to cut a dirt road to the top to transport their equipment . this is still the only road , unpaved until 1993 .\nil film contribuiva cos\u00ec a dimostrare come l\u2019intera tradizione passata della colorazione potesse essere agevolmente annessa al nuovo regime del colore analogico , con gli innumerevoli vantaggi che avrebbero potuto derivarne . questo ritorno in forza delle attrazioni rivelava anche il grande potenziale di energia che il colore era in grado di liberare sullo schermo . \u201d\nthe new mexico film office facilitates location usage of many state buildings and properties throughout new mexico owned by the general services department . certain restrictions apply , and in some instances , security and personnel fees may be required . click the link to our database above to search for state owned buildings and properties .\nin the early 1970s the national film theater in london asked langlois for a loan of the cinematheque ' s print tod browning ' s 1927 feature the unknown . langlois agreed . months passed , and then suddenly , the print turned up in london . after thanking langlois the director of the nft expressed surprise at the length of time it had taken to fill his request . langlois reply was ,\nah , but you see , we have so many cans of film marked\nunknown\nat the cinematheque .\n- - glenn myrent and georges p , langlois , henri langlois , first citizen of cinema\neven as process no . 3 was being rolled out commercially , kalmus continued his research to figure out a way to use three colours , thus making possible the rendering of the full colour spectrum . the dye - transfer process had effectively solved one of the problems of three - colour cinematography , which was that even by using double - sided film there was still the challenge of how to register the third colour on the print . imbibition allowed two or more colour images to be transferred via the matrices onto the print , provided that the images were in precise register . kalmus therefore focused on producing a working three - colour camera . initial experiments with a successive - frame system were abandoned in favour of a camera which used a beam splitter to split the light from the source through filters , the green record passing straight through a green filter onto a film strip , while the red and blue records were captured on a bipack film through a magenta filter . the camera therefore produced three negatives , one red , one blue , one green . as with the two - colour process , gelatine relief matrices were made which were then dyed complementary subtractive colours and pressed one after the other against a blank film which absorbed the dye .\nparamount , m - g - m and universal are making three prints of the color product\u2013one on the film , a second on the disk and a third silent . radio and tiffany , using rca photophone system , are sticking strictly to two , while warners , using vitaphone , is doing the same . 50\nthe most glaring example of\u2019 delay in color product is a film which is just now about to be released . the picture was completely cut , edited , and ready for release last august as far as the studio was concerned . the seven - month delay has been spent waiting for sufficient prints to come back for general distribution . and the business is moving too fast for any \u201clot\u201d to mark time for 28 weeks while a finished feature is being processed . point is that some other studio with a similar story beat the color film to screens by doing it in black and white\u2013and that\u2019s a burn - up for the studio boys addicted to color . . . . film execs state they appreciate the national ad campaigns by tech , but point out the delays are causing them to lose the advantages of the publicity . . . . studio heads figure possible delays due to color is one worry they shouldn\u2019t have to shoulder . 55\nat one time the extremely delicate process of printing film was being carried on in a building of which one wall had been torn away to make room for enlarging the structure . a job that requires virtually laboratory conditions was being performed amid the debris of falling bricks and the roar of the riveter\u2019s gun . 61\nstrike three came in the form of a continuing nationwide depression . kalmus found that motion picture executives \u201cwere suddenly confronted with the necessity for drastic curtailment of their own budgets because of a sharp drop in motion picture theater attendance . \u201d 62 the 1951 film daily yearbook of motion pictures summarized the situation as follows :\ncoates , p . ( 2008 ) \u201con the dialectic of filmic colors ( in general ) and red ( in particular ) : three colors : red , red desert , cries and whispers , and the double life of v\u00e9ronique , \u201d film criticism vol . 32 , no . 3 , 2 - 23 .\nin redskin , his character can be seen as the complete opposite of richard dix\u2019s . dix plays a man who no longer has a home . marshall\u2019s navajo jim , on the other hand , has effortlessly bridged that gap . part of the reason for his success is that he is a classic slacker . he is perfectly happy to nap his life away and he is not one to make waves . however , he has a good heart and he is willing to help out wing foot . navajo jim is the only person in the trading post who will still speak to wing foot after his exile and he is ready to jump in and save the day when our hero\u2019s claim is jumped .\n\u201cwhile technicolor ii marked a significant achievement , it was not free of problems due to the nature of the cemented positive . irregularities associated with cupping ( bending and curving of the film which interfered with proper focusing ) and emulsion scratching marred the process and motivated technicolor to introduce a third core technology , the imbibition process ( covered in a notebook of the same name ) . imbibition ( ib ) , or dye transfer , aimed to unite two colour records on a single layer of emulsion in order to overcome the problems of the cemented positives . in this system , the matrices did not form the projection positive itself ; instead , the gelatine relief images would be soaked in a dye solution and used ( as in a printing process ) to transfer the dye onto another piece of film . this \u2018blank\u2019 film served merely as a recipient of the dyes and provided a single colour projection print with one emulsion , establishing the process known as technicolor iii ."]}

fashioned love story . the film is based on my novel cholliyattam . it is about cultural conflict . the main plot of the film involves a french woman , played by german actor irina jacoby , who comes to kerala to study kathakali , and her relationship with a kathakali actor called unni ( vineeth ) . meera nandan plays the other prominent role of sethulakshmi , a student of music , \u201d says the director .\ngenesis1986 , mrigya 1976 , sadgati , ( very good series ) kaurya . gaman the perfect murder sanshodhan dharm mati maay ( marathi film ) shorts .\nart films , also known as parallel cinema , form an integral part of bollywood . they are an alternative to the mainstream commercial cinema especially for the people who use their brain while watching movies . art films are not considered to the part of mainstream cinema due to their serious content , realism and naturalism . the culture of art films first started in bengali film industry by critically acclaimed filmmakers such as satyajit ray , mrinal sen , ritwik ghatak and others and then gained prominence in the other film industries of india including hindi film industry .\ntarpan ( english title : the absolution [ 1 ] ) was a 1994 indian hindi drama film written and directed by k . bikram singh , and starring om puri , revathy , dina pathak , manohar singh and mita vashisht in lead roles . this directorial debut film was jointly produced by nfdc and doordarshan . the film set in the 1940s , in a fictitious village in the shekhavati region in rajasthan , where no girl child survives beyond the age of seven . it deals with larger issues of communalism and caste system through four inter -

\u2014a pyramid in egypt .\n\u2014why are there no fatal falls in the fiendish plot of dr . fu manchu , the mummy , or lolita ? no shattered glass in eyes without a face ? perhaps the template is flawed . like freud , \u201cwe must be prepared to admit that there are other elements besides those which we have so far laid down , \u201d and that we\u2019ve overlooked some denominators shared between mummies and the uncanny .\nfu manchu was always a problematic character in this respect . the fu manchu films were the subject of protests and petitions as early as 1932 . during world war ii , with china joining the allies in the fight against imperial japan , rohmer\u2019s publishers suspended the series , leading to a seven - year gap between books , and the us state department shut down production of a republic pictures film featuring the character . even when the franchise was revived in the late 1950s , there was a sense that fu manchu had become an embarrassment ; christopher lee played fu in five films in the 1960s , but these have rarely been shown on tv because of pressure by anti - defamation groups . by the late \u201870s , the character\u2019s reputation had become so toxic that even the fiendish plot of dr . fu manchu \u2014 a blatant satire starring peter sellers \u2014 was greeted with protests .\ncloud cuckoolander : as a result of years of torture at fu manchu ' s hands , nayland smith insists on keeping a lawnmower with him at all times . fu manchu is even able to take him out of commission for a large portion of the movie by stealing the mower .\n\u2014the beginning of the film doesn\u2019t necessarily coincide with the beginning of the cycle .\nand , for that matter , they ' re not so funny anyway . the movie has some good moments ( what peter sellers comedy could not have ? ) , but the story never really involves us , the characters aren ' t all that interesting once you get beyond the makeup and the funny names and it ' s a bit disappointing that\nthe fiendish plot of dr . fu manchu\ndoesn ' t grab the obvious opportunity to satirize all the old boris karloff lateshow specials .\nchristiane\u2019s body rejects the face graft ; meanwhile , the police become suspicious at the uncanny resemblances between the discovered victims , and ( as in the fiendish plot of dr . fu manchu ) dispatch a decoy to dr . genessier\u2019s office to ensnare him . the decoy is captured , but in the final scene , christiane saves her , and releases genessier\u2019s laboratory doves and dogs , the latter of which tear genessier\u2019s face off . christiane , with a dove perched on her arm , wanders off . doves are homing pigeons , so if it\u2019s guiding her anywhere , it\u2019s probably returning somewhere it\u2019s been before .\ni would like to be able to say that the megawatt tackiness and jaw - dropping bad taste of that sequence is indicative of the film as a whole , but the \u201crock a fu\u201d sequence has a vulgar , shameless energy that\u2019s largely missing from the rest of the film . it\u2019s egregiously awful , whereas the remainder of the film is overwhelmingly , unintentionally sad . and incredibly , incredibly dull . the fiendish plot of dr . fu manchu offers the sad spectacle of a great artist ( and deplorable human being ) prostituting his tremendous gifts for one last mercenary paycheck . listen closely , and you can hear the muted sighs of a dying man\u2019s disappointment and regret in sellers\u2019 every scene .\nthe fiendish plot of dr . fu manchu premiered after sellers\u2019 death , and was panned by the critics mercilessly and regretfully , as if he ought not to have survived long enough to make it . there is a certain poignancy in the central story - line : his minions attempt to locate a life - giving elixir while the aged fu manchu is kept alive by increasingly violent electric shocks . unfortunately , sellers\u2019 touching , finely detailed performance as dennis nayland - smith \u2013 an \u2018old - school\u2019 englishman in flannel trousers , houndstooth checkered jacket and wool tie \u2013 sadly went unnoticed in the rain of adverse criticism .\nwhen fu manchu drops the sword , terry picks it up and hacks him to death . while terry frees sheila and carries her away , nayland smith and von berg incinerate fu manchu ' s followers using the same weapon . safely aboard a ship bound for england , nayland smith tosses the sword over the side so that the world will be safe from any future fu manchu .\nthe mask of fu manchu is a 1932 pre - code adventure film directed by charles brabin . it was written by irene kuhn , edgar allan woolf and john willard based on the 1932 novel of the same name by sax rohmer . starring boris karloff as fu manchu , and featuring myrna loy as his depraved daughter , the movie revolves around fu manchu ' s quest for the golden sword and mask of genghis khan . lewis stone plays his nemesis .\nfu manchu ' s 168th birthday celebration is dampened when a hapless flunky spills fu ' s age - regressing elixir vitae . fu sends his lackeys to round up ingredients for a new batch of elixir , . . . see full summary \u00bb\nvillain protagonist : the film is very much fu manchu ' s story , with nayland smith just being a bystander for the most part .\nduring its initial release , the mask of fu manchu was criticized by the chinese government , and the chinese embassy in washington launched a formal complaint against the film for its hostile depiction of the chinese . the speech where fu manchu tells his followers to\nkill the white man and take his women !\nwas singled out for strong criticism . [ 2 ]\nmcleod is killed by one of fu manchu ' s men during a robbery attempt , after mcleod kills one of fu manchu ' s men . when that fails , an emissary offers to trade barton for the priceless artifacts . despite terry ' s misgivings , sheila persuades him to take the relics to fu manchu without smith ' s knowledge . however , when fu manchu tests the sword , he determines that it is a fake ( nayland had switched them ) . terry is whipped under the supervision of fah lo see , who is attracted to him . meanwhile , fu manchu has barton ' s corpse delivered to sheila . when nayland tries to rescue terry , he is taken captive as well .\nthe name of the rare canary diamond was\nthe star of leningrad\n.\nbefore master of kung fu \u2014 one hundred years ago , in fact , in 1913 \u2014 a trashy pulp novel called the mystery of dr . fu manchu became an unexpected bestseller on both sides of the atlantic . in mystery , the english writer arthur sarsfield ward ( using the pen name sax rohmer ) created the character who would introduce a new archetype to popular fiction : the world - conquering criminal mastermind .\nknown for playing multiple characters in movies , peter sellers plays four roles in this movie , two of them cameos . the characters included dr . fu ' fred ' manchu , sir dennis nayland smith , a mexican bandito and an antique dealer .\nthe mummy is an ingredient in fu manchu\u2019s longevity elixir , which restores his youth , with a side effect : the face - clutchingly awful finale has fu manchu inexplicably possessed by elvis . thus fu manchu , the west\u2019s caricature ( ( as long as we\u2019re on fu manchu , we can also contemplate his archetypal inverse : the obsequious charlie chan , most famously played by a yellowface warner oland , who\u2019d also played fu manchu . bruce lee was screentested for the part of charlie chan\u2019s \u201cnumber one son\u201d\u2014a role he would\u2019ve inherited from keye luke . luke would go on to become the first asian actor to play charlie chan , the same year he played david carradine\u2019s mentor master po in kung fu , and one year before overdubbing the voice of the lead villain in enter the dragon , who fights by hiding in a hall of mirrors . ) ) of asian supremacism , assumes a caricature of white culture\u2014yellowface in whiteface .\naround seventeen years prior to this film , peter sellers once appeared in an episode of the telegoons ( 1963 ) in 1963 called the telegoons : the terrible revenge of fred fu - manchu ( 1964 ) .\non dr . fu manchu ' s 186th birthday , someone spills his age - reversing elixir , and the evil doctor sends his minions off to find the ingredients to make more . the first item they need is the star of leningrad diamond which they steal while it is on exhibition in washington . the fbi needs help in solving the crime so they send for nayland smith , a retired scotland yard investigator and an expert on his nemisis fu manchu .\nthe name of the hot -

mad fu manchu ( boris karloff ) intends to use the sword and mask to proclaim himself the reincarnation of the legendary conqueror and inflame the peoples of asia and the middle east into a war to wipe out the\nwhite race\n. sir lionel is kidnapped soon afterward and taken to fu manchu . fu manchu tries bribing his captive , even offering his own daughter , fah lo see ( myrna loy ) . when that fails , barton suffers the\ntorture of the bell\n( lying underneath a gigantic , constantly ringing bell ) in an unsuccessful attempt to get him to reveal the location of the tomb .\nthe fiendish plot of dr . fu manchu consequently doesn\u2019t feel directed so much as assembled , then grudgingly completed because that seemed a slightly preferable alternative to shutting down production and calling it a day . no one seems to be steering the ship . a handful of quirky , engagingly weird gags die at the hands of listless execution , like a sequence where the motley crew of international crime fighters decide they need a female constable to impersonate the queen as a decoy , so they hold open auditions of lady constables performing the kinds of acts that would get laughed off the gong show . helen mirren wins , of course , with a performance of \u201cgood ship lollipop . \u201d who is better suited to playing the queen ? but the tone is all off ; instead of raucous and irreverent , this sequence of mirren auditioning comes off as airless and grey .\npeter sellers doing accents and talking dr . strangelove on nbc ' s today show interview ( 1980 )\nworthy opponent : fu manchu acknowledges nayland smith as this near the end of the movie , and even gives him his own supply of elixir vitae so that they can continue their rivalry for decades to come .\nfu manchu ' s 168th birthday celebration is dampened when a hapless flunky spills fu ' s age -

mashing chopsockey western starring david carradine . tasked with creating a vehicle for fu manchu , writer steve englehart and artist jim starlin essentially combined the two properties , bringing the contemplative tone of kung fu into rohmer\u2019s lurid pulp world . they chose for their protagonist a na\u00efve young man , raised in a monastic setting , now adrift in a western world that he little understands . like kwai chang caine , he possesses remarkable fighting skills , but seeks only to live in peace ; yet he is continually drawn into conflicts not of his choosing \u2014 conflicts , in this case , with the forces of fu manchu . and just to give the conflict a personal stake , the protagonist is , in fact , fu manchu\u2019s own son .\npeter sellers\u2019 ferociously uneven career should have ended with his idiot saint of a gardener - turned - guru in being there walking on water , having transcended this corrupt spiritual realm and evolved into a higher state of being . after all the bad movies sellers made , and all the turmoil and unhappiness that characterized his personal and professional life , it would have been glorious for his career to end on a note of absolute peace and tranquility . instead , sellers ended it by donning an elvis - style blue - and - white , rhinestone - studded jumpsuit , a goatee , and a pompadour , and singing the following lines from \u201crock a fu\u201d as the title character in 1980\u2019s the fiendish plot of dr . fu manchu : \u201cfrom san francisco to peking / confucius say this cat\u2019s the king / the cops they tell you i ain\u2019t nice / fu knows how to fry that rice . \u201d\nbut don\u2019t bother to go looking for it , because you won\u2019t find it . though it was one of the first mainstream comics to be deliberately conceived and executed in long story arcs , perfectly suited for collection , you can\u2019t buy it in paperback . no part of master of kung fu \u2019s classic ten - year run has ever been reprinted . unless you\u2019ve got the original issues , you\u2019re out of luck . and it\u2019s all because of that criminal genius , dr . fu manchu .\nthe cameo : burt kwouk , who co - starred with sellers as kato in the pink panther films , makes a brief appearance at the start of the film , during which fu manchu tells him ,\nyour face is familiar .\n\u2014mummies tend to have counterparts of the opposite sex : billy lo and ann miller , eric draven and shelly webster , fu manchu and helen rage , imhotep and helen grosvenor , humbert and lolita , quilty and vivian , beatrix and bill , christiane and dr . genessier . the actors who played them were all married .\nagain there are telltale resonances between this film and others in our expanding mummyverse . the film opens as fu manchu , whose ludicrous weeping - willow hair resembles the geezered - up billy lo\u2019s , is about to be administered a longevity elixir by one of his si - fan ( ( \u201cthe most diabolical secret oriental organization in the world , \u201d and a near - homophone of bruce lee\u2019s original genderqueered birth name , sai fon . ) ) dacoits . \u201cyour face is familiar , \u201d fu manchu tells him for no reason ( ( no reason within the movie , i mean . it\u2019s most likely a reference to the fact that the extra , burt kwouk , acted alongside sellers in the pink panther and appeared in two fu manchu films . this is another example of the phenomenon of the uncanny double vision that marks a mummy sighting : fu manchu can apprehend kwouk\u2019s familiarity , but not his identity . ) ) ; when the bumbling servant accidentally destroys the elixir , an enraged fu manchu commands his other servants to \u201cbury him alive in the red ant hill\u201d\u2014which resembles imhotep\u2019s punishment .\n\u2014mummy movies tend to be parts of series , sequences , or revivals : polanski\u2019s apartment trilogy , the game of death series and its imitators , kung fu , the ring , the dozen - or - so installments of the mummy , the half - dozen fu manchu films , lolita and its remake , kill bill \u2019s two volumes ( with others possible ) , and so on .\nok ! maybe it is not the best film making but it is fun , and is the last hurrah for one of the great comic actors of all time . a gentle spoof of all of those fu manchu films over the years , ( and frankly better than many of them ) it contained many of the hallmarks of sellers films such as playing multiple roles ( fu manchu and nemesis nayland smith ) using comic actors of similar stripe ( sid caesar ) re - uniting with bert kwouk ( his man - servant in many of the pink panther movies . ) this was also the farewell film of actor david tomlinson and john le messeur both of whom retired from films after this . the movie is a fun romp with a mix of the absurd slapstick and the witty dialog of the characters . one of my favorite lines happens after a line of dacoit assassins appear in front of fu manchu and he says\nyou can ' t fool me with a cheap cinematic trick .\nthis was very fitting farewell to a great comic genius .\nthe project must have been just the kind sellers loved to work on . he plays two of the major roles in the movie , the ancient fu manchu and the unflappable nayland smith of scotland yard . he also turns up in a variety of other disguises , as a chinese chef , a foppish antique dealer and the young fu . the roles required complex makeup jobs ( as old fu , he looks like one of madame tussaud ' s bad dreams ) ; then sellers plays around with accents , props , all the schtick he can dream up .\n\u2014the curse\u2019s cyclical nature is betokened by annular objects : a shot of a roulette wheel introduces the game of death \u2019s title sequence ; a spiral staircase leads up to trelkovsky\u2019s room in the tenant ; eric draven fights to reclaim his wedding ring ; the mummy was based on the hg wells story \u201cthe ring of thoth\u201d ; freud exemplifies \u201cthe ring of polycrates\u201d as uncanny ( ( the title alludes to a ring that polycrates threw into the sea but returned to him in the body of a fish . ) ) ; nathaniel in \u201cthe sandman\u201d seeks a ring to offer to olympia ; a mysterious millstone sits in nayland smith\u2019s yard in the fiendish plot\u2026 ; and then there\u2019s the ring and circle of iron .\ngainax ending : things get very strange in the last fifteen minutes or so , which has nayland smith ' s house suddenly sprouting a hot air balloon , flying to china , and then smith for some reason just giving fu manchu the diamond he needs to finish the elixir vitae . the strangeness then gets turned up to eleven in the final moments , when the rejuvenated fu manchu suddenly performs a rock musical number .\ncaptured by fu manchu , the party is sentenced to death or enslavement , but not before sheila manages to bring terry back to his senses . sheila is to become a human sacrifice , nayland smith is to be lowered into a crocodile pit , and von berg placed between two sets of metal spikes inching toward each other . terry is prepared for another dose of the serum , which will make him a permanent slave of the whims of fu manchu ' s daughter .\nyellow face : surprisingly enough , played completely straight . the film never once lampshades or even acknowledges the fact that fu manchu is being played by a white man in heavy make -

regressing elixir vitae . unfortunately , an incompetent henchman sets himself on fire and uses the elixir to douse the flames , leaving the supervillain with only a few months to gather enough diamonds to create a new elixir . fu manchu soon targets the crown jewels of the british royal family , and scotland yard calls his old rival , nayland smith ( also sellers ) out of retirement . smith has gone a little . . . odd as a result of a previous period of being captured and tortured by his nemesis , but he comes up with a plan to save the jewels , including having a talented policewoman , alice rage ( helen mirren ) impersonate the queen .\nthe movie ' s original director was richard quine who had directed peter sellers ' previous film the prisoner of zenda ( 1979 ) . quine was the film ' s director during pre - production . however , the two fell out over that movie prior to\nfu manchu\nstarting filming .\nthe plot , in hindsight , is also just a little morbid , given sellers ' recent death . as fu manchu , he plays a 168 - year - old man who starts fading fast after a clumsy assistant spills the vial containing his youth potion . manchu has to reassemble the secret ingredients , including a precious jewel , and so he stages an international crime wave . but his life force is ebbing low , and there are scenes where his assistants feed him jolts of electricity to keep him turning over . it is just a shade hard to laugh at some of these scenes so soon after the funeral .\nfu manchu was certainly one of the big names , but \u2014 for a number of reasons \u2014 presented a problematic figure around which to build a franchise . foremost of these was the inherent storytelling problem of having a baddie as the name above the title . the powers at marvel decided early on to use fu manchu in an antagonistic role , and to build a book around around a protagonist opposing him . not nayland smith \u2014 who to be frank was never a particularly interesting character \u2014 but someone new , and modern ; someone without the baggage of smith or petrie , through whom a new audience could find an entry point for a sixty - year old franchise .\njean hill of hill irish dance school brings the culture of ireland to oklahoma dancers .\nbut if fu manchu was not the first fictional villain to embody these simmering racial anxieties , it was in him that all the storytelling possibilities came together . the character became wildly popular , and remarkably durable . rohmer wrote about fu manchu off and on until 1959 , and he appeared in many films ; but his true legacy is in the many , many subsequent villains of fiction to be modelled \u2014 in whole or in part , consciously or not \u2014 on the devil doctor of limehouse . there were legions of outright knock - offs , most of them lost now to obscurity , and deservedly so . but some were as memorable as the good doctor himself . flash gordon \u2019s ming the merciless , marvel baddies the mandarin and the yellow claw , the shadow \u2019s shiwan khan , james bond\u2019s enemy doctor no \u2014 all straight - up homages to fu manchu . but elements of the character show up even where the ethnic signifiers are absent , in the likes of doctor doom , or in the batman\u2019s immortal arch - enemy ra\u2019s al - ghul , even in star trek \u2019s khan .\npress j to jump to the feed . press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts\nfrankenstein is a resurrected mummy , so we know just what kind of curse the curse of frankenstein delivers . this film was the first of hammer films\u2019 occult classics , the third of which was , naturally , a reboot of the mummy , starring christopher lee .\nthere are some amusing exchanges , for instance , when fu manchu is informed of a new disaster befalling his organisation , he says \u201cthat is good news . \u201d \u2013 \u201cwhy is it good news , master ? \u201d \u2013 \u201cbecause i\u2019m in no condition to receive bad news . \u201d in another scene fu manchu\u2019s minions attempt to kidnap queen mary at the botanical gardens by disguising themselves as englishmen\u2026and flowers . but the script lacks discipline and the supporting cast \u2013 including helen mirren , david tomlinson , sid caesar , john le mesurier , steve franken and burt kwouk \u2013 lacks direction , suffering irrevocably from sellers\u2019 tampering . by the time the film finishes with a rejuvenated fu manchu impersonating elvis presley for no particular reason , it becomes painfully obvious that all involved had run out of both steam and ideas .\nmaster of kung fu is the story of shang - chi \u2014 a name which means \u201cthe rising and advancing of a spirit\u201d \u2014 raised by his nefarious father in the isolation of a fortress compound , where no western influence could penetrate . shang - chi\u2019s upbringing is a perverse experiment in using innocence as a tool of evil . he is raised with a reverence and respect for all life , and grows into a youth of near - superhuman martial prowess and impeccable moral character . but he has been lied to , since birth \u2014 taught to idolize his father as a paragon of all that is good and righteous . when shang - chi comes of age , fu manchu orders him to travel to london , and to kill his father\u2019s enemy , dr . petrie . shang - chi , believing petrie to be evil , willingly undertakes the mission , and heads off into the big world for the first time , like candide recast as an assassin . but nayland smith intervenes and confronts shang - chi with evidence of his father\u2019s villainous career . realizing the monstrous deception that has deformed his entire life , shang - chi rebels against fu manchu .\nbefore the closing production number sends the film out on an appropriately horrifying note , fu manchu has another moment of unexpected pathos in which the famously self - loathing sellers acts out his internal war through his dueling doppelg\u00e4ngers . for reasons i\u2019m not sure anyone involved in the production even understood , sellers\u2019 evil doctor ends the film by giving his ostensible nemesis smith the secret to eternal youth as part of an image makeover .\nclockwise from top left : christiane\u2019s \u201cface\u201d ; dr . genessier\u2019s first victim , disguised and reflected ; a masked christiane regards herself in the mirror ; edna gruber , faceless and bandaged .\nnone of this was precisely new . there\u2019s more than a little of professor moriarty in the doctor\u2019s makeup , and the honorable - adversary relationship between fu and smith cannot help recall that between the great detective and his nemesis . ( smith even has a sidekick , dr . petrie , who narrates his adventures . ) nor was fu manchu popular fiction\u2019s first would - be conqueror of asian extraction . that dubious honor one goes to one kiang ho , a harvard - educated warlord who featured in an 1892 \u201cscientific romance\u201d called tom edison jr . \u2019s electric sea spider , or , the wizard of the submarine world , which i mention here primarily for its irresistible title . for kiang ho , you see , was just a warm - up act for dr . yen how , from m . p . shiel \u2019s the yellow danger , a hysterical racist screed from 1898 ; a half - chinese / half - japanese military strategist , yen how unites the two countries and unleashes all the limitless hordes of asia upon the unsuspecting west .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nburt kwouk : as fu manchu ' s servant . kwouk worked with peter sellers on four pink panther movies . upon seeing him in this film , seller ' s character says ,\nyour face is familiar\n. this can be interpreted as both a reference to them having appeared in those four films as well as a reference to kwouk ' s uncredited appearances in two\nfu manchu\nfilms which starred christopher lee .\n\u2014lee , kubrick , nabokov , polanski , tarantino ( ( in a 2009 interview , tarantino claimed he isn\u2019t religious but believes in \u201cpast lives . \u201d ) ) , and humbert were all atheists . many of the narratives concern tampering with the occult or playing god : dr . genessier , imhotep , fu manchu , top dollar , and those seeking revenge ( contra romans 12 : 19 ) . our word for \u201cuncanny\u201d derives from the scottish for occult . linking mummyism to divine retribution seems reductive , but it\u2019s telling that many religions promise a remission of the cycle of death and rebirth .\nin this episode of the bloody pit brian lindsey and i discuss the character ' s various film incarnations with special concentration on karloff ' s scenery chewing villainy in mgm ' s lavish the mask of fu manchu ( 1932 ) and christopher lee ' s 1965 to 1969 five film run as a more accurate version of the character for producer harry allan towers . we also touch on the novels , the 1940 republic serial and the last ( so far ) big screen attempt to use fu in peter sellers ' final film in which the star plays both fu and his nemesis sir nayland smith . we both fear that the possibilities of a modern adaptation of these sax rohmer stories are next to nil but we do give a few suggestions about what would be necessary to accomplish such a difficult ( and probably financially ruinous ) task .\nchristopher frayling , quoted in\nfu manchu\n, in newman , kim ( ed . ) , the bfi companion to horror . london , cassell , 1996 , pp . 131 - 32 ; isbn 0 - 304 - 33216 - x\nunfortunately , the movie itself gives him little support . the screenplay doesn ' t seem to have been thought through on the level of small details , and details are what make movies like this funny . the hazard in these enterprises is that the story sounds so funny ( fu manchu needs secret youth elixir , stages raid on british crown jewels ) that the screenplay is never pushed to the next level of detail . by contrast , the inspector clouseau movies always felt meticulously thought - out .\nbut even if the legal issues were somehow resolved , it\u2019s doubtful that master of kung fu would ever be reprinted \u2014 because fu manchu has become an untouchable character . the devil doctor is now a symbol of attitudes that were once all too prevalent , attitudes that we would prefer to forget . such a character can never again be played straight ; the only way to approach the archetype is through a protective layer of irony \u2014 as was done with the mandarin , in iron man 3 \u2014 and even then you risk giving offense . ( the fact that china is now the biggest overseas market for us films only compounds the irony \u2014 and the risk . )\nconsider the name of the game of death . neither bruce lee\u2019s original project nor the final product had anything to do with games . games are abstract , constructed metaphorical systems bound by rules , experiences that are also doppelgangers of experience . the game of death is a fake death , but the death of what ? and for whom is the game of death a game ?\neven in master of kung fu , there\u2019s some visual stereotyping . there are none of the slitty - eyed , buck - toothed caricatures that make ( say ) the 1940s blackhawk so excruciating to read , but the inconsistencies of the coloring are troublesome . the jaundiced yellow skin tones of fu manchu and shadow - stalker , seen above , are pretty horrific , especially given that most of the other asian characters are colored more realistically . ( oddly , shang - chi\u2019s unnatural orange pigmentation doesn\u2019t \u201cread\u201d as stereotypical , as he is the only character , asian or western , to be so colored . it marks him out , giving a unique visual signature as a literal and metaphorical \u201cgolden boy . \u201d )\nit will enhance any encyclopedic page you visit with the magic of the wiki 2 technology .\nthe latest releases on dvd of this movie by warner bros have restored the above scenes .\n. due to such criticism , the 1992 vhs release of the film removed several scenes containing the most criticized lines of dialogue , such as the\nkill the white man\nspeech , and the scenes of myrna loy in an orgiastic frenzy while witnessing a torture whipping .\nfu manchu is offstage for long stretches , but he casts a shadow over the entire series \u2014 so that when he does occasionally emerge , he gains a renewed grandeur . his periodic appearances , in massive , intricate story arcs unfolding over a year or more\u2019s worth of issues , feel truly epic .\nmany of the issues we\u2019ve discussed appear in wittgenstein\u2019s posthumous writings , like his notion of \u201cfamily resemblance\u201d ( which resembles our idea of paratransmission ) , or his famous analogy between language and games , but maybe nowhere more than in the regard of the face , his incessant analogies between faces and intrinsic meaning\u2014\u201cthe face is the soul of the body , \u201d he wrote .\nthere\u2019s even a real - life connection between the two films , as with the crow : bruce lee personally instructed roman polanski in kung fu ( yes , really ) .\npeter sellers had such a weak heart , that he was advised not to make this film at all . he ignored that advice and did the movie anyway . chillingly prophetic was part of the film ' s storyline where fu manchu keeps his heart beating by intermittently giving himself electric shocks . the movie was sellers ' final film . the picture debuted about a month after sellers ' passing .\nthis is complex , provocative stuff , even for 2013 . for all its occasional missteps , master of kung fu is not only beautiful , ground - breaking comics storytelling \u2014 it advances the conversation on race with a candor and fearlessness not often seen in pop entertainment . it reclaims the fu manchu archetype from the realm of camp , only to slyly interrogate and eventually dismantle that archetype over the course of its run . that these stories are only available in moldering back - issue bins seems criminal ; it is sad to think that one day they shall be gone forever , as the ravages of time render their pages brittle and discolored \u2014 another sort of yellow peril \u2014 before turning them to dust .\nis this reputation deserved ? certainly fu manchu , as originally conceived , is a vile caricature , and rohmer\u2019s early books are filled with casual anti - asian slurs and nativist rhetoric . rohmer \u2014 who had once been a newspaper reporter , covering the limehouse crime beat \u2014 offered the the mealy - mouthed \u201chey , some of my best friends are chinese\u201d excuse so typical of the bigot . in his autobiography , he wrote : \u201cof course , not the whole chinese population of limehouse was criminal . but it contained a large number of persons who had left their own country for the most urgent of reasons . these people knew no way of making a living other than the criminal activities that had made china too hot for them . \u201d\nwhile we reflect on a moment of poignancy , what happens next is bizarre in the extreme . smith is left to ponder as to whether to take the elixir ( which fu has already taken and is now once again young and virile ) and is questioned as to \u201cwhat on earth\u2019s going on nayland ? \u201dsmith simply says , \u201ci\u2019m not entirely sure\u201d while looking lost and confused . fu reappears and sings us out with a questionable faux - rock number called \u201crock a fu\u201d . we then get a few moments of smith still looking confused while the song plays out and we end on a freeze frame of sellers\u2019 fu - manchu miming to a rather poor song . as endings go it isn\u2019t a classic . in fact it surely smacks of a lack of any clear idea of what to do with the film . that is the last moment of sellers on film we are left with . not chance on that lake , walking on the water as sellers slipped off into the unknown . instead we are left with sellers dressed up in \u201cyellow - face\u201d in an elvis costume miming to a terrible song .\n\u2014theft and trespass are recurring motifs : billy lo , beatrix kiddo , quilty , humbert , edna gruber , trelkovsky , fu manchu , imhotep , nina sayers , and eric draven either have important things stolen from them or orchestrate thefts themselves . and billy lo , beatrix kiddo , quilty , humbert , trelkovsky , fu manchu , imhotep , and eric draven all commit some b & e or inveigle themselves into someplace forbidden . kidnapping is also common . these crimes are all built into the archetypal raid of the mummy\u2019s tomb ; with respect to identity , possession constitutes theft , trespass , and kidnapping .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nwriter doug moench is a white liberal , and he works to give even fu manchu a certain dignity , portraying his anti - western xenophobia as a reaction to occidental racism , \u201cthe hate that hate produced\u201d \u2014 malcolm x as supervillain . but from our contemporary viewpoint , where race is understood as primarily a social construct , we still find in master of kung fu some jarring notes of racial essentialism . certainly a panel such as this one ( at right ) must give us pause .\nthe bad guy wins : fu manchu steals all the diamonds , rejuvenates himself and even manages to snag himself a hot girlfriend , with nayland smith only managing to temporarily inconvenience him . having said that , smith does succeed in retrieving everything else that the doctor stole . . . mostly because he decided to just give back all the stuff he didn ' t need .\nmost remember carradine , if not for his comeback as bill in kill bill ( in which his face is mostly concealed ) , then as the actor who launched a career in yellowface as kwai chang caine in the tv series kung fu . carradine ate bruce lee\u2019s lunch in all sorts of ways : lee originally conceived kung fu as the warrior , but was rejected for the lead role because warner brothers deemed american audiences unready for an asian man playing an asian man\u2014they favored the more \u201cserene\u201d carradine ( ( ed spielman , the credited creator of kung fu , disputes this account . i guess it\u2019s possible they independently pitched movies about a wandering chinese martial artist exiled in the american west to warner bros . at the same time\u2014but , hmm . at any rate , regarding the decision not to cast an actual asian , abc\u2019s vice president reportedly said , \u201cif we put a yellow man up on the tube , the audience will turn the switch off in less than five minutes . \u201d ) ) . caine\u2019s grandfather is played by dean jagger ( who played dr . land ) , and in kung fu : the movie , carradine starred alongside brandon lee , who played caine\u2019s son . ( that\u2019s right : carradine played the role of brandon lee\u2019s father while playing brandon lee\u2019s father\u2019s role . ) brandon lee then went on to play his own grandson in kung fu : the next generation , while carradine played his own grandson , also named kwai chang caine , in kung fu : the legend continues . in his memoir years later , carradine wrote : \u201ci was a fake . when i left the series after four years i knew nothing about kung fu . \u201d ( though he spawned fakes of his own\u2014an asian caine impersonator stars alongside the bruce lee impersonator in the dragon lives on . )\nif you\u2019ve never read one of the man of bronze\u2019s adventures this podcast can serve as an introduction to him and his world . although the character is not very well known these days , doc savage has a long and storied history . born out of the fertile imagination of the great lester dent in the depression of the 1930\u2019s he is the perfect heroic man meant to exist as a beacon of nobility for people to aspire to emulate . an adventurer and righter of wrongs with an unbreakable code of ethics , savage was the type of pulp fiction hero that could be enjoyed by readers of any age looking for fast action and wild plots . yes , the violence often gets brutal in a doc savage novel but the bad guys will always be the ones that end up on the unfortunately placed sharp stick or at the bottom of that undiscovered deadly pit ."]}

- i haven ' t decided ,\nshe says noncommittally . will it be in hollywood ? ms . armstrong , whose hollywood experiences have not been an unmitigated joy , won ' t say .\ndespite such challenges , armstrong ' s husband , john pleffer , is her rock , who comfortably performed the role of father and house husband before the term became mainstream .\narmstrong , g .

hard to imagine her as the young , inexperienced director that broke onto the scene with my brilliant career . during her first screening at cannes , armstrong was so certain her film would bomb that she bolted out of the theatre . since then , she has established herself as a successful working director .\nwith my brilliant career ( 1979 ) , gillian armstrong became the first australian woman in 50 years to direct a film . let ' s just pause and hold onto that statistic .\nthere were three sisters in the 1930 ' s who used family money to do society dramas . one was a producer , one was a

grip , starstruck made a splash at the box office \u2013 but has been all too hard to get a hold of in the post - vhs years .\nfollowing the success of my brilliant career , armstrong directed the australian rock - musical starstruck ( 1982 ) which proved her ability to tackle more contemporary and experimental subject matter and styles .\ngillian\u2019s five documentaries on three adelaide women ( kerry , josie and diana ) , starting with smokes and lollies in 1976 and now with love lust and lies , symbolises the change to australia since the 70s . a thematic cousin to the british seven up ! series of documentaries that began in 1964 , gillian\u2019s is the only set of australian films that has gone back to the same people five times to capture not only a snapshot of those people at the time of filming but also the changes to them , their lives , lifestyles , attitudes , children and partners between each film .\narmstrong ' s last film was the 2007 british - australian co - production , death defying acts , which starred guy pearce as harry houdini and catherine zeta - jones as mary mcgarvie .\ngillian armstrong : well , the first thing was when damien approached me and i said , \u201cwho\u2019s orry - kelly ? \u201d he gave me this outlet and i saw the list of wardrobe he had made in films . my first reaction was , \u201coh my god , i can\u2019t believe it\u2019s the same person who did all these iconic films . yes , i\u2019ve seen them but i put them somewhere in the back of my mind\u2026 42 nd street and casablanca , auntie mame and so on .\nsince then i have seen all of armstrong\u2019s films as they were released and have run retrospectives of her australian films for my friends and family , though i was unaware of her work in documentary or that she has worked extensively in the us . this research is an opportunity to revisit films of my childhood and to explore the influence armstrong has had on australian cinema and culture .\n. \u201cone of the key things about being a visual artist is actually trying to remember , or to not lose , what you had in the beginning , \u201d armstrong told filmink in 2006 .\nis , well , pretty much brilliant . based on the epochal book by miles franklin , the film tells of sybylla melvyn ( judy davis ) , an early 20th century burgeoning female writer who chooses her career over marriage . the film remains gillian armstrong\u2019s best and most fully realised work , while its feminist themes ( coupled with the fact that it was the first australian feature film directed by a woman in nearly fifty years ) set the tone for the director\u2019s own groundbreaking career , which includes fine australian works such as\nin 1975 , armstrong began the first in a series of documentaries following the lives of three working class girls from adelaide over several decades \u2013 a concept similar to michael apted ' s seven up films .\n1910 - 1969 , an american in paris , behind the screen : how

collinson .\nit is easy to imagine that armstrong was filled with a similar feeling as she crafted her debut film . women filmmakers today still face an uphill battle having their work financed and distributed . at this point in time , gender parity for directors , at least in the u . s . , seems like an unrealistic dream . but at the time in which armstrong was filming , it wasn\u2019t even a matter of a few women directors fighting to get in the room to pitch their ideas to studios or struggling for financing . in armstrong\u2019s case , there was very little australian cinema to speak of and a gap of nearly 50 years separating her from the last feature length australian film directed by a woman . like her audacious main character , armstrong carved her work out of pure ambition , uncertain of the future but willing to try .\nin 1994 , armstrong achieved her greatest hollywood success with little women , starring winona ryder , susan sarandon , gabriel byrne , christian bale , claire danes and kirsten dunst . this adaptation of louisa may alcott ' s novel of the same name was one of the most popular films of the year , and emphasises armstrong ' s focus on portraying the intimate lives of strong female characters and their relationships with one another .\nms . armstrong was unimpressed with the accolades and unimpressed with herself :\ni know that making a film is a team effort , and it was only my second film . why would i want the stress and strain with a whole lot of strangers ?\nms . armstrong turned down every hollywood offer , staying in australia to make a deliberately small film about a teen - ager trying to become a rock star .\nof course , i was 11 or 12 then , but the novel seems to have grown up in the meantime - - or maybe director gillian armstrong finds the serious themes and refuses to simplify the story into a\nfamily\nformula .\nlittle women\nmay be marketed for children and teenagers , but my hunch is it will be best appreciated by their parents . it ' s a film about how all of life seems to stretch ahead of us when we ' re young , and how , through a series of choices , we narrow our destiny .\nas high - tech companies start offering women the chance to put their fertility on ice , christine armstrong talks to a range of high - flying mothers about whether it ' s best to have children early or late .\narmstrong : right . she was a woman who would throw off her hat and gloves and run outside , getting her dress dirty . and that was somewhat true of judy davis\u2019s character in my brilliant career as well .\noscar and lucinda is based on the book by australian writer peter carey and celebrates , yet again , the collaboration between armstrong , beauman , turnbull , arrighi and simpson . armstrong describes it as \u201can epic and odd love story that also deals with faith and fate and chance . \u201d ( 14 ) it begins with the lush production values of little women , demonstrating the breadth of experience these filmmakers bring to their collective craft . the cast support the story well , and armstrong once again shows her intuition for picking stars by casting ralph fiennes ( before he became famous for the english patient [ anthony minghella , 1996 ] ) as oscar , and cate blanchett as lucinda .\narmstrong\u2019s films demonstrate a diversity and breadth of story - telling . she has alternated between shooting in australia and the us , between period and contemporary drama , films for theatrical release and television and also between documentary and drama .\nwhen i made my first feature film , being a woman was all anyone ever asked me about . it really , really annoyed me and i found it quite sexist in the end . i thought , \u2018you know what \u2013 i\u2019m just me and this is a gillian armstrong film\u2019 . not all women are going to do the same films and the same stories , and i was really put in this box , because it was a feminist story in a lot of ways , they thought that\u2019s all i ever wanted to talk about . so yes , initially it was frustrating to talk about .\narmstrong ' s first feature length film , my brilliant career ( 1979 ) , an adaptation of miles franklin ' s novel of the same name , was the first australian feature length film to be directed by a woman for 46 years . armstrong received six awards at the 1979 australian film awards ( previously the australian film institute awards , or afi ' s ) , including best director and the film was nominated for an academy award in best costume design .\nher research interests are in the use of big data consumer analytics and have been supported by a range of research funders ( daera , invest ni ) . gillian has published in a range of academic journals , including the international small business journal , the journal of small business and enterprise development and was part of the ref 2014 business and management studies unit of assessment .\narmstrong has directed eight feature length dramas , two feature length documentaries and many short films . i will briefly describe the feature films of most importance to the australian film industry . further information is available through references listed in the bibliography .\nthe scones appear , finally . ms . armstrong scoops up some strawberry jam and a bit of whipped cream and sighs .\nthere ' s nothing like a fresh scone ,\nshe says before returning to the business at hand .\nwhat ' s happened to drama in the last 12 years , is that all the drama writers have left the feature industry and gone to tv and [ are ] writing for hbo , showtime and netflix ,\narmstrong says .\n\u201cif they\u2019d had an oscar for costume design before 1949 , he definitely would have outdone catherine , \u201d armstrong bets . \u201call those early films he did with bette , they would have been ringing it in . that was bad luck . \u201d\ngillian is currently head of the department of accounting , finance and economics within the ulster university business school . the department has a strong professional practice focus , whilst also ensuring active engagement in applied research . it has a staffing complement of 30 academic staff and works closely with the professional and financial services sectors to actively support the supply of skills and the attractiveness of northern ireland as a location to do business . the department\u2019s professional accreditations and reputation for high quality teaching and student support continues to secure long standing partnerships with overseas universities , particularly in china . long standing partnerships have been established with dongbei university of finance and economics ( dufe ) , south china agricultural university ( scau ) and more recently , with hebei geo university ( hui ) , where gillian is a visiting professor .\nit turns out that the pedigree behind the footage is rather illustrious . gillian armstrong of my brilliant career , oscar and lucinda and charlotte gray fame helmed the women he ' s undressed . while exploring her current concentration on documentaries , talk led to the many minor infringements that women directors endure that can accumulate to become unseen hurdles in their quest to direct film . at a time when only 6 % of films are directed by women and only one woman has won a best director oscar , ( kathryn bigelow ) , the conversation resonated , and may help to shine a light on entrenched mindsets and issues that have nothing to do with gender .\nwill the success of\nlittle women\nmean that she now has that power ? ms . armstrong answers carefully .\ni haven ' t spoken to my lawyer so i don ' t know . but certainly promotional success gives artistic power .\nwhilst mainly known for her feature length work , armstrong has also had considerable success as a documentary film maker . unfolding florence : the many lives of florence broadhurst ( 2006 ) , earned armstrong a nomination for the grand jury prize at the 2006 sundance film festival . additionally , her series of films that have documented the lives of three women she first met as teenagers in adelaide in 1975 for smokes and lollies has continued with four subsequent documentaries , all of which have been met with positive reviews .\ndespite the difficulty and randomness of this film , armstrong presents a warm , compassionate view of the lives of these women and their daughters . by the final film , she has started interviewing the next generation of children , who are by now teenagers , and the film is so emotionally compelling that one wonders how she can stop here . armstrong says this film is the final part of the series , but perhaps one day her own daughters will continue the story of the teenagers and their lives . ( 9 )\nborn in melbourne in 1950 , armstrong attended her local high school before going to swinburne technical college , originally intending to study theatre design ; however she soon found her passion in film . after completing her degree at swinburne , armstrong moved to sydney to pursue work in the film industry . despite some early setbacks she gained valuable experience as an assistant editor at kingcroft . her further education was completed when she was one of 12 students selected as the inaugural class at the australian film and television school in sydney .\n\u201cat the end of the ' 60s , suddenly there was easy rider and midnight cowboy , \u201d armstrong says . \u201ceverything was gritty , with ripped blue denim and handheld cameras . the golden age was gone and dead , bette davis and barbara stanwick were pass\u00e9 . \u201d\narmstrong was always modest when discussing her achievements but there can be no denying that she was a trailblazer for women in the film industry . prior to her success , many women were encouraged towards continuity or administrative roles . armstrong herself had to battle with many in the male dominated industry in the 1970s and 1980s . she has spoken of her frustration at all the males in her graduating class at swinburne receiving job offers from film australia and the abc . when she asked the abc for work they were only interested in her typing speed .\nkelly ' s personal life and career were each fascinating in their own right . armstrong would struggle to pack it all into a 99 - minute film .\nthe amount of work he ' s done was also extraordinary ,\nshe added . for her film , armstrong had the unenviable task of narrowing down kelly ' s 300 film resume - - including casablanca , some like it hot , and les girls - - to a few movies that best represent him .\nso to really choose the top , i think we chose , finally about 20 - 25 films ,\nshe said . throw in kelly ' s celebrity relationships - - bette davis and cary grant to name a few - - and his battles with drinking and you have what armstrong describes as ,\na very rich story .\nembarking on a detective - like mission to uncover every detail of orry - kelly\u2019s life , armstrong and her team poured over letters , interviews and biographies from contemporaries including davis , with whom he forged an enduring relationship . she considered him her right arm at warner bros .\nperhaps best known for her 1994 adaptation of little women , armstrong continues to work in film to this day , and has directed cinematic luminaries like cate blanchett , catherine zeta - jones , kirsten dunst , and diane keaton . by anyone\u2019s standards she has had a brilliant career .\narmstrong ' s research wasn ' t limited to dusty old books . she also watched countless hours of classic films in search of imagery that best represents kelly ' s talents . armstrong stated ,\ni had to start selecting clips that i thought , ' well this would be great to show his talent in this area or that area . ' i did a lot of movie watching and finally caught up with a lot the classics of the golden age . a lot of them i had never seen all the way through . that was very enjoyable .\nmade on a tiny budget and heavily subsidized by the australian film commission , the award - winning the singer and the dancer was a precocious study of the toll men take on women ' s lives that marked the onset of armstrong ' s mature style . on the strength of this and one hundred a day , producer margaret fink offered armstrong the direction of my brilliant career . daunted at first by the scale of the project and a lack of confidence in her own abilities , she accepted because she\nthought it could be bungled by a lot of men .\nthe movie may leave sybylla and the audience forever waiting and wondering as to whether she was able to write her way to a better life . but in terms of armstrong and her career , the answer is much clearer . my brilliant career became a seminal part of what was later termed the australian new wave ( a movement that also included george miller and his mad max series , the first film of which coincidentally was also released in 1979 ) . armstrong and the film went on to play in competition at the cannes film festival , something that to this day is exceedingly rare for women directors . the film would go on to be nominated for an oscar , a bafta , a golden globe and win several awards at the australian film institute ( afi ) awards including best director for armstrong making her the first of many female best director afi winners .\narmstrong , g .

well , actually , that hasn\u2019t changed . \u201d\n( 1973 ) , with its striking , well - composed black - and - white images and an atmosphere that compellingly drew audiences back into the sydney of the early 1930s . out of all 12 students , i think that gillian was always the most thorough when it came to preparing for a shoot . her attention to detail was highly impressive , and i remember one veteran cameraman telling me he had never before worked with a director so decisively able to express what they wanted .\narmstrong and her team were thrilled with the discovery , quickly polishing them up to shoot for the film . but the director confesses they\u2019d hoped to find a much - gossiped about memoir the costume designer was rumoured to have been writing . in it , kelly was said to spill the beans on his long - standing but secret friendship with actor cary grant . their relationship is at the heart of the film . \u201cit\u2019s a story about friendship and loyalty , \u201d says armstrong . \u201cit\u2019s a story about two young mates starting out and helping each other , it\u2019s about fame , money , power and homophobia . \u201d\nher quest not to be seen as more or less , but simply to be able to demonstrate her talent , reflects kelly\u2019s story . an openly gay man at a time when studios demanded that their heads of costumes departments be married , orry never hid his sexuality . that he was close friends with archie leach \u2013 the two arrived in new york together and shared an apartment for years \u2013 has led to much speculation . gillian doesn\u2019t back away from the implications that some may draw .\nso there was something , as we started to explore and find out about who was orry - kelly , he kept reminding me so much of my oldest best friend . we met at swinburne in the dark room when we were both learning photography , when we were both 18\u2026 . he died too young , four years ago . he was a wonderful photographer , an exhibition of his work was at the national portrait gallery .

hour - plus running time . but whether this adulatory biopic of egypt ' s charismatic postwar leader , president gamal abdel nasser ( in office from 1954 - 70 ) , has much to say to westerners is another matter .\nno less a figure than jawaharlal nehru said , \u201cpresident nasser is one of those men who gave a new turn to history . \u201d that sentiment is well captured here .\nwith : gamal abdel nasser . . . ahmed zaki his wife . . . fardous abdel hamid mahmoud younis . . . ahmed maher old woman . . . amina rizk\nwith : gamal abdel nasser . . . ahmed zaki his wife . . . fardous abdel hamid mahmoud younis . . . ahmed maher old woman . . . amina rizk\nfamily man nasser ( played with great charisma by star ahmed zaki , a cross between nasser and humphrey bogart ) has a cloying wife and five adorable kids , but running the nation takes up most of his time . when pic opens he is already a national hero , having abolished the monarchy and ended britain\u2019s 72 - year occupation of egypt .\nthere are also humorous touches . a specialist on the canal who is summoned by nasser is on vacation . when he is found in his pajamas and bathrobe in his country house , he is not allowed to change before being rushed to the capital . only upon arrival at the president\u2019s office are his entreaties for clothing so as to present a dignified persona before nasser finally heard , but he is given only five minutes to dress .\nlater , the two men charged with planning the takeover of the canal are called before nasser . both are already short on sleep , but are forced to stay awake for several more days to formulate the plan , present it to nasser , and then finally carry it out . one of the two constantly reminds his colleague of the accumulating sleepless hours , but it is the second who falls asleep instantly when their job is done .\nit is interesting to note that what precipitated the crisis , beyond the normal instinct of the egyptians to control their own resources , was interference from the western powers over the possible involvement of soviet funding for the high aswan dam project . once the dam was in fact completed with soviet assistance in 1958 , life magazine called it , \u201cone of the noblest possible justifications of co - existence . \u201d prior to those lauds , however , came the crisis of \u201956 , in which the egyptian people and their president were viewed in quite a different light by the bourgeois press and the capitalist powers .\nnasser was barely 36 years old in 1952 when he burst upon the world stage , having overthrown the corrupt egyptian monarchy declaring , \u201cthe spirit behind the egyptian revolution is represented by the ideal of creating a new national consciousness in egypt , based on the staunch belief in democratic socialism and the fullest realization of social justice . \u201d nasser was a complex , contradictory figure , whose reign later came to include harsh repression of communists and other progressives , helping lay the seeds of many of the problems wracking the region today .\nmost important period of his rule and his greatest political achievement . the film depicts nasser\u2019s dealings with his ministers , his working habits , his speeches , his relationships with members of the revolutionary council , also with his father , his wife and his four children .\nthe film sees as the most important period of his rule and his greatest political achievement . the film depicts nasser\u2019s dealings with his ministers , his working habits , his speeches , his relationships with members of the revolutionary council , also with his father , his wife and his four children .\nportrayed in this film by ahmed zaki , nasser was charismatic and bold . at the time he embodied the ambitions of the arab world in general and the egyptian people in particular . fortunately this film is not one of nationalistic bombast , but instead offers real insight , some occasionally comical , regarding the buildup to the so - called \u201csuez crisis . \u201d in preparation for the daring step of nationalization , one thing nasser\u2019s government had to do was examine if they even had the personnel capable of operating they canal once they got it , and this is well illustrated in the film .\na key scene takes place in nasser\u2019s study late at night after he has learned of the world bank\u2019s refusal to fund the aswan high dam . he takes the first of three calls from an old woman who is trying to reach her son in a rural village . her calls instead have been misdirected to the presidential residence . when in the third call nasser offers to contact her son himself she asks with whom she is speaking . upon learning it is the president she says , \u201cmay god grant you victory , my son . \u201d\u009d suddenly , a light ignites in his eyes as he makes the fateful decision to nationalize the canal .\nnasser has long been a hero in the arab world . however , over the years many of his policies have been discredited , and his reputation tarnished . there are those who criticize his sympathetic portrayal in this film .\nit shows him being kind and loving when we have read otherwise ,\nscoffed one moviegoer .\nwestern audiences will have to adjust to the more subtle , less in - your - face style of arab filmmaking . however , this is not to say that the film is in any sense boring . zaki\u2019s portrayal of nasser as mild - mannered is because that is the way the charismatic egyptian president was in real life .\nin the most poignant scene of the movie , an old woman presents nasser with the cloak which her grandfather was wearing when he died while digging the suez canal , saying that the egyptian president is not only avenging the death of her grandfather , but also the deaths of the thousands of egyptians who perished while building the canal .\nduring the summer of 1956 , egypt under president gamal abdul nasser became embroiled in a conflict with great britain , france and israel over the decision by the egyptian leader to nationalize the suez canal in the wake of the refusal of the united states , and consequently the world bank , to fund the construction of the aswan high dam .\nin summation , the film is a revealing portrait of the historical backdrop to the nationalization , the views of the arab world toward the west , and western treatment of the indigenous people of the region . the final scene showing nasser addressing his compatriots in a packed cairo mosque as british and french bombs rain down on their country is extremely moving .\nthe arab perspective from which this film was made is very much in evidence . to those whom he has picked to carry out the nationalization plan , nasser explains his reasoning that the united states and the world bank have denied funds for the dam in order to keep egypt from increasing its electricity supply and to condemn the country to backwardness and continued colonialism .\nbut in 1956 a crisis is brewing : britain and the u . s . have withdrawn their support of the aswan high dam project on the nile . nasser makes the bold decision to nationalize the suez canal ( still run by the brits ) to finance the dam with canal tolls , thus precipitating israel\u2019s invasion of the sinai peninsula , and france and britain\u2019s invasion of egypt . end of film .\ndirector mohamed fadel and writer mahfouz abd al rahman , who shrewdly film in black and white so as to match vintage newsreel footage , present nasser ( an effectively understated ahmad zaki ) as a modest , selfless paragon dedicated to his nation ' s self - determination and devoted to his family . they pull off the necessary trick of making suspenseful a pivotal incident , the outcome of which is part of modern world history .\nas a slice of history filmed from an arab point of view , the film is fascinating . its insistence that 120 , 000 egyptian workmen died building the suez canal , for instance , is a point worth making . but while local audiences identify with its pan - arab patriotism , other viewers are unlikely to find that side of the film emotionally exalting . at best , its uncritical glorification of nasser may rouse interest as a curiosity item .\ngives an idea of what it means for a small middle eastern nation to dare to defy the world ' s superpowers , the usa and its western allies in particular . that ' s exactly what egypt ' s then - president gamal abdel nasser did in july 1956 , when he boldly orchestrated the nationalization of the suez canal , the construction of which had cost the lives of 120 , 000 egyptians from a population of only 4 million a little more than a century earlier .\nin general , the film is paced well to build the tension and examine the dynamics of the various intrigues \u2013 and there were plenty \u2013 associated with the event . a notable aspect of this narrative is the portrayal of each moment when nasser brings another confidant into the conspiracy . they react with a combination of pride and fear , uncertain of the outcome but resigned to taking the gamble . they are tapping into a deep reserve of resentment at the historical injustice and atrocious exploitation by the western powers that make up the history of the construction and operation of the canal .\nthis black - and - white reconstruction of a hugely important era in egypt\u2019s history broke every egyptian box record when it came out there . with seamless integration of newsreel footage , the film reconstructs the period of 1956 when president gamal abdel nasser ( ahmad zaki ) , a hero in the arab world , nationalized the strategically situated suez canal , the construction of which had cost 120 , 000 egyptian lives when it was built during the previous century . an international crisis involving the us , israel , britain , and france ensued , but egypt retained control of the strategic waterway .\nahmad zaki was born on november 18 , 1949 in zaqazeeq , egypt as ahmed abdullrahman zaki . he was an actor and producer , known for\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\non parties : i may give the impression of being a loner , but , in fact i love people . . . it ' s not the gathering that counts it ' s who you ' re with that counts . you may enjoy yourself as much in a small gathering , it ' s not the quantity of people that counts , it ' s the company that counts .\non february 2004 , he was diagnosed with lung cancer after undergoing tests in france . french doctors have concluded that his condition is not terminal , and can be easily treated .\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nra ' fat rostom becomes a minister by mistake , since then he gets more and more powerfull everyday , and that ' s when he starts having hilarious and weird nightmares about his corruption and his family .\nafter his discharge from prison , mansor take his revenge and become hunted by the police .\nwhen mona marries the seemingly decent police officer hisham , she finds out there is more into him than what he shows to the people .\na story about a police officer who was assigned to a secret mission as an undercover drug dealer , with the license to kill , deal in drugs , and do whatever is required for his identity to . . . see full summary \u00bb\na simple minded peasant was recruited in the egyptian army where he was deceived to believe that political activists are his homeland enemies , but not for so long .\na family man frustrated by the bureaucracies of the egyptian public system as well as difficulties of life finds himself inadvertently accused of terrorism and decides to maintain this role . . . see full summary \u00bb\na philosophy teacher finds himself and his ethics surrounded by a corrupt society , and as he ' s mistaken for an exorcist / fortune -

what if drona had trained both arjun and ekalavya together ? what if arjun and ekalavya were pitted against each other due to jealousy ? the answers to these questions can be found in the film . just like how ekalavya belonged to the lower caste , here , siddharth is shown as a beggar who gets into nassar ' s drama group because of his impeccable singing skills .\nnevertheless , kaaviya thalaivan makes you want to cheer for vasanthabalan for extracting some of the best performances from actors whose talent we ' ve always underestimated . you also want to cheer for the makers for being gutsy and backing this offbeat attempt .\nwith great music and a competent cast , kaaviya thalaivan promises a great feast but fails at the final hour . the story that burrows liberally from the epic mahabharata and weaves in the independence movement into its narrative , doesn ' t offer much .\nkaaviya thalaivan works in parts like rahman ' s music , which doesn ' t do full justice to the period in which the story is set . in a beautiful scene , vedhika ' s mother requests nassar to take his daughter as one of his mentees . nassar explains that there ' s no room for a woman in his all - boys ' company . but he ' s subsequently impressed by the girl ' s singing and dancing skills . she joins the troupe and becomes its crucial member . in this scene , vasanthabalan ' s intent was to show that this ( cinema ) is not a male - dominated industry , and occasionally , even a highly talented woman is welcomed . scenes like these are a treat to watch in the film , which is otherwise let down by its writing and the urge for a melodramatic end .\nthere ' s heavy reference of mahabharata in kaaviya thalaivan , which is the story of drona ( nassar ) and his gifted students arjun ( prithviraj ) and ekalavya ( siddharth ) . in the epic tale , ekalavya never learnt under the mentorship of drona . he learnt by secretly watching drona ( who was also his spiritual guru ) teach his students .\nat the end of kaaviya thalaivan , there ' s a side in you that wants to laud the effort of auteur g vasanthabalan , who has always strived to give us good cinema , especially for recreating a bygone era in grand style on screen . then , there ' s another side that will ask why all his films with great potential don ' t get their due .\nthe life of a human being is examined in this film . from the beginning of life , humans have needs and wants . a baby wants toys , a child wants playmates , a teen wants a partner , an adult wants a spouse . . . the wants never ends . the human here is padmini who after getting married to sivaji ganesan , yearns for a child . barren for a long time , they make special arrangements with their maid to adopt her unborn child . but their happiness is short - lived when the new born baby dies . their sadness is overtaken soon , when padmini becomes pregnant . the child is born and is healthy . does padmini ' s wants end there ?

( imdb lists the original running time at 105 minutes and this one comes in at 101 . ) but the transfer to dvd is pretty good and the strange and even shocking turn of events is otherwise preserved .\nbut the film is essentially the story of a jerky guy recalling how his mom was kind of crappy and how that ' s the reason why he is shitty to women these days ( but he ' s trying to change ) . not interested .\nsuddenly voiced : elisabet , who spends most of the film in silence , speaks in three instances , though it may not have happened . it ' s interesting to note that the camera avoids showing elisabet ' s mouth moving in the first two instances .\nin 2016 , an animated feature film named batman : return of the caped crusaders was released to celebrate the show ' s 50th anniversary with adam , burt and julie reprising their classic roles , as well as a sequel ; batman vs . two - face .\njuxtaposed halves shot : alma and elisabet in the climax of the film . their faces are juxtaposed to show that their individual identities have become indistinguishable from each other ( or they ' ve melded , or they were each other all along , or something ) .\nshe had the child star\u2019s built - in self - destruct mechanism \u2014 what had seemed peachy in a moppet became arch in adolescence . attempts to extend her career into young womanhood were unsuccessful and she made her last film in 1949 \u2014 washed up in hollywood at 21 .\nnicholas ray ' s astonishingly self - assured , lyrical directorial debut opens with title cards and lush orchestrations over shots of a boy and a girl in rapturous mutual absorption :\nthis boy \u2026 and this gir \u2026 were never properly introduced \u2026 to the world we live in \u2026\na shriek of horns suddenly obliterates all other sound \u2013 their shocked faces both turn toward the camera , and the title appears : they live by night .\nthe film opens under a moonlit sky in the middle of the night on a small new england college campus ( in the town of new carthage - an allegorical name ) . under the credits , an academic couple walk through the deserted campus - george ( richard burton ) , a 46 year old , bespectacled history professor , and his 52 year old wife martha ( elizabeth taylor ) , a large , boisterous , blowsy woman with heavy wrinkles . martha ' s drunken laugh acutely punctuates the title\nwho ' s afraid of virginia woolf ?\nafter drunkenly weaving their way home , they enter their home and switch the lights on . martha looks around the living room discontentedly and parodies bette davis ' mannerisms , exclaiming :\nmr . freeze ( george sanders , otto preminger , and eli wallach ) - featured in 6 episodes . he is very different from the way he is in the comics , though the later batman and robin film based the arnold schwarzenegger version of the character on the tv show .\nkiss me deadly is the black - hearted apotheosis of film noir , and a key film of the 50s , embodying the profoundest anxieties of eisenhower ' s america : it ends with the detonation of a nuclear device on malibu beach and , presumably thereafter , the end of the world itself . robert aldrich ' s moral universe is so violently out of kilter that even his opening credits run upside down . his hero , mike hammer , is an amoral , proto - fascist bedroom detective and 1 , 000 % scumbag , but the villains he encounters are far , far worse .\ntwo - face / harvey dent ( william shatner ) - eastwood was cast to play two - face in 1968 , however the show was cancelled before any appearances . he is the main villain of\nbatman ' 66 : the lost episode\nas well as the feature film batman vs . two - face .\njamie ( well sketched by young iain armitage ) is a quiet boy glued to the games on his cell phone . ( the fact that the oldsters don\u2019t own these new - fangled contraptions is a bit unlikely , but becomes a plot point later on . ) his stay with grandma while gene tries to get his life together introduces the first real challenge to addie and louis\u2019 arrangement , and their way around it is both sensible and amusing . the dynamics between the three characters is gently engaging rather than dramatic , and you can feel the energy shifting as rom - com is put on the back burner to family life , train sets , a new dog . opening the film up beyond the sleepy neighborhood and the house on cedar and 12th street , batra sends the trio on an idyllic camping trip in the colorado mountains , beside a breath - taking river . jamie and the dog in one tent . addie and louis in another .\ncameron crowe called double indemnity\nflawless film - making\n. woody allen declared it\nthe greatest movie ever made\n. even if you can ' t go along with that , there can be no disputing that it is the finest film noir of all time , though it was made in 1944 , before the term film noir was even coined . adapting james m cain ' s 1935 novella about a straight - arrow insurance salesman tempted into murder by a duplicitous housewife , genre - hopping director billy wilder recruited raymond chandler as co - writer . chandler , said wilder ,\nwas a mess , but he could write a beautiful sentence\n. noir ' s visual style , which had its roots in german expressionism , was forged here , though wilder insisted that he was going for a\nnewsreel\neffect .\nwe had to be realistic ,\nhe said .\nyou had to believe the situation and the characters , or all was lost .\nparental neglect : one of the reasons for elisabet ' s condition , recounted by alma in the film ' s climax , is having a son she didn ' t want and who she can ' t bring herself to love . it ' s said the son lives with relatives and elisabet only sees him sporadically and unwillingly .\nunlike the earlier movie serials of the 1940s , this was the first batman project to feature batman ' s rogues gallery of villains . cesar romero made numerous appearances as the joker , while burgess meredith reinvented the image of the penguin , with his crooked smile and trademark\nsquawk\n. julie newmar provided catwoman ' s rolling\nr\ns , only to be replaced later by lee meriwether for the 1966 movie , and again in the final season by eartha kitt . two men provided their talents to the role of the riddler - frank gorshin ( in the first and third seasons ) and john astin ( in a one - off second - season appearance ) .\nlouis malle ' s first fiction feature , based on noel calef ' s 1956 novel , occupies a very interesting space . it qualifies as film noir for its appropriation of us postwar cinema in its tale of lovers gone bad , but also heralds the imminent arrival of the french new wave . the director was in his mid - 20s at the time and clearly using the crime - thriller genre ( something he never returned to ) as a testing ground and not a strict template . perhaps that explains why his film is such a melting pot of influences , drawing not only on hitchcock but also the master of suspense ' s overseas admirers , including henri - georges clouzot and his les diaboliques .\none of the most dramatic , riveting moments of the film blurs fantasy and reality . martha brings up another embarrassing wound from the past , questioning george ' s manliness . she describes a public boxing match incident which her daddy orchestrated in his back yard . when george told his father - in - law that he didn ' t want to box , martha got into the pair of gloves herself and punched george pow right in the jaw , sending him crashing into a huckleberry bush . during her story telling , george finds a shotgun in another room , stalks his prey , and takes aim at the back of martha ' s head . when honey notices the gun , she screams in fright . martha turns her head to face him as he pulls the trigger - out blossoms a brightly - striped umbrella , a symbolic display of his weakness and sexual impotency in another of his games . he adds sound effects :\npow . you ' re dead !\nthey laugh , mostly from relief and confusion .\none of the amazing things about the third man ,\nsteven soderbergh once wrote ,\nis that it really is a great film , in spite of all the people who say it ' s a great film .\nhe ' s right . it ' s one of the greatest , in fact : a witty , elegantly shot and steadfastly compassionate thriller suffused with the dreadful melancholia of the finest noir . it ' s set in allied - occupied vienna , where writer holly martins ( joseph cotten ) pitches up at the invitation of his old chum harry lime . except that when martins arrives , lime turns out to be dead . at least that ' s the prevailing wisdom at his funeral .\nit\u2019s fascinating as well as heartening to see that their chemistry and sex appeal are still intact as they circle 80 , and one imagines this netflix original film will prove irresistible to the older demographic . premiering on the big screen in venice , it made an appropriate , historic salute to the ageless pair who are being awarded twin gold lions for their career achievements .\nwhen they get back , trouble is waiting in the shape of gene . schoenaerts brings deep - rooted resentment and brooding to the film\u2019s sole dramatic role , creating some much - needed motivation for the final scenes and the choice addie makes between louis and her family . given the lightness that has preceded it , the thoughtful ending feels like reality has brusquely broken in .\nthe robert e . parilla performing arts center is the hub of cultural activity at the montgomery college rockville campus . for the 2018 \u2013 2019 season , patrons can select from a wide variety of performances including music , drama , dance , and art - house films . discover the guest artist series , children\u2019s series , college performing arts series , music series and film series .\nin his screenplay , robert towne develops two dominant metaphors ; the first centres on water . during a period of drought someone is dumping water from local reservoirs , and it becomes clear that this most precious of human resources is being manipulated by land speculators in their own interests . the name of evelyn ' s husband , hollis mulwray , evokes william mullholland , the los angeles engineer responsible in the 20s for the deals that , in the old western phrase ,\nmade water flow uphill in search of the money\n. the name noah cross suggests the protective old testament patriarch played in the 1966 blockbuster the bible by john huston , but here reprised in a less benevolent mode as a self - righteous plutocrat who has harnessed the flood in his own interests .\ngainax ending : alma and elisabet packing up to leave , a ghostly elisabet caressing alma in the mirror , alma leaving alone as elisabet seems to have disappeared , brief shots showing alma seemingly acting out the memory of a stage play that was elisabet ' s . then a shot of ingmar bergman filming the movie , and a shot of film running out of the camera and the arc light going out .\nperhaps that was because the film ' s hero does not care for himself . the story concerns a young man who brings his fianc\u00e9e back to live in the gloomy manor where he spent his own childhood . the house is saturated with the presence of his late mother , a domineering woman who smothered his emotional development . his idea is to return to the scene of his crippling and try to break through his hang - ups .\natmosphere from bergman , psychology from freud , pictures from fellini , and politics from marx coalesce into this , a piercing psychological drama about confronting your past as the only way to reinvent your future . zetterling pushes her film forward like a mad symphony , simultaneously dissecting both the oedipus complex and the decadent upper class . and the clever one - liners ( which , by the sheer number of them , seem to have been shot onto the manuscript page through the barrel of a shotgun ) !\nkiss me deadly opens with a woman , naked under a raincoat , fleeing headlong and barefoot down a highway at night . rescued by hammer , then un - rescued by her faceless original captors , she dies screaming under gruesome torture with pliers ( aldrich was always at the vanguard in his use of violence ) . thereafter , hammer finds himself on a terrifying hunt through the criminal underworld of los angeles , from his gleamingly modern office in posh brentwood to the dilapidated flophouses of bunker hill , as he bludgeons , browbeats , blackmails and brutalises his way inch by inch towards a resolution that will destroy everyone and everything , all in search of the elusive\ngreat whatsit\n\u2013 a deadly , molten , much sought - after package that ' s grandfather to the suitcase in pulp fiction and the chevy nova in repo man .\nsomehow all the planets aligned for ray , a novice director with an achingly poetic - realist vision of depression - era texas and the determination to implement it wholesale : a perfect source novel , edward anderson ' s thieves like us ; and exactly the right combination of producer ( john houseman ) , studio ( rko ) and sympathetic studio head ( dore schary ) . the result is luminous in its imagery , highly sophisticated in its musical choices ( the folk song i know where i ' m going succinctly and repeatedly stresses that they don ' t know anything at all ) suffused with romantic fatalism \u2013 they ' ll die by night , too ; you know it from the start \u2013 and enriched by ray ' s total identification with his characters ' doomed trajectory . ray ' s first masterpiece , and a pinnacle of poetic noir . john patterson\nit ' s set in a castle in sweden and it features the kind of depraved upper - class partying at which the question\ndon ' t you wish you were dead ?\nis answered by\ni ' m dead already .\na jazz ensemble plays as ingrid thulin gives birth ( to a dead child , of course ) , and at a wedding -

starred , aged 20 , with her husband .\nmetaphorically and cinematically , it ' s a picture about crossing over \u2013 in one sumptuous camera setup we track the characters over the border . that shot is famous , but it ' s no richer than the single setup in a cramped motel suite that proves how hank quinlan ( welles himself ) plants dynamite on the man he intends to frame . these scenes were a way for welles to say ,\ni ' m as good as ever\n, but they are also crucial to the uneasiness that runs through the picture and the gloating panorama of an unwholesome society . the aura of crime has seeped into every cell of ordinary behaviour : the city officials are corrupt , the night man ( dennis weaver ) needs a rest home , and the gang that come to the motel to get susie are one of the first warnings of drugs in american movies . not least , of course , quinlan \u2013 a sheriff gone to hell on candy bars .\nshe was born on april 23 1928 in santa monica , california , the daughter of a bank teller . like many a proud mother , gertrude temple enrolled her child in dancing classes at the age of three and promoted her vigorously . a talent scout from educational pictures , a small company specialising in shorts , spotted shirley and invited her for a screen test , which led to her appearance in 1932 - 33 in a string of film spoofs known as baby burlesks . among them were the incomparable more legs sweetrick ( as marlene dietrich ) , the pie - covered wagon and polly - tix in washington .\nhowever , with studio boss jack warner ' s insistence on keeping the integrity of the play , and the teaming of real - life husband and wife mega - stars elizabeth taylor and richard burton , the film was guaranteed success . the two portrayed an on - screen couple : a sharp - tongued but ineffectual professor ( burton ) and his complaining wife ( taylor ) , in the company of a new professor ( segal ) and his mousy wife ( dennis ) . [ note : the couple had originally been teamed in the mega - flop cleopatra ( 1963 ) . robert redford rejected the role played by george segal . ]\nas in so much film noir , the crux of the story is a case of cherchez la femme . in this case la femme is abby marty ( frances mcdormand ) , wife of texas bar owner julian ( dan hedaya ) . julian suspects abby of having an affair with one of his staff , and when private eye loren visser ( m emmet walsh ) confirms this to be the case , julian sets a murder plan in motion . for most directors this would be enough , but the coens embrace the full - on complications of the genre to create a genuine sense of an\neasy\ncrime spiralling out of control .\nas in that film , the story concerns a conspiracy to murder . ex - foreign legion soldier julien tavernier ( maurice ronet ) , a veteran of french military misadventures in algeria and indochina , is planning to kill his boss , who is also his lover ' s husband . on paper , the plan is seamless \u2013 tavernier secures his alibis and enters his victim ' s office unseen , by means of a rope \u2013 but things soon get messy . on returning to the crime scene to retrieve a key piece of evidence , tavernier finds himself trapped in the elevator , leaving his car parked outside with the keys in the ignition .\ntaking its atmospheric title from a line in dashiell hammett ' s hard - boiled novel red harvest ( an allusion never explained ) , blood simple is perhaps the coen brothers ' most straightforward movie , even though it is , ironically , not at all simple . in a manner that would come to be their stock - in - trade , the film is a cacophony of cross - purposes , in some ways a rehearsal for their breakout effort fargo , which also depicts a nefarious plan gone wrong . it also marks the use of literary genre elements in the\nreal\nworld , a formula that would later be refined by quentin tarantino .\nbut its gorgeous form makes it worth a watch nonetheless . the beautiful tones of the film , the playful shot compositions and the way jan slides from one time into another , going seemlessly from the present into the past and vice versa , solely changing his form from adult to child . it reminded me of juraj herz\u2019s the cremator where kopfrkingl is sometimes like a hinge of two different spaces that pass around him in such a quiet manner that the viewer takes notice of it only after a while . with jan , on the other hand , the time change is obvious right away as he becomes a child again , while the space stays the same .\nthe screenplay was adapted by daniel mainwaring from his own novel , build my gallows high ( the film ' s uk title ) . but the sharpened splinters of dialogue also bear the mark of cain \u2014 james m cain , that is , the legendary author of noir landmarks the postman always rings twice and double indemnity , who performed vital but uncredited rewrites . according to mitchum ' s biographer , lee server , it was cain who expunged kathie of any traces of lovability .\nshe can ' t be all bad \u2014 no one is ,\none character remarks of her . to which jeff shoots back :\nshe comes the closest .\nrg\na netflix presentation of a wildwood enterprises , wildgaze films production cast : jane fonda , robert redford , bruce dern , matthias schoenaerts , iain armitage , judy greer director : ritesh batra screenwriters : scott neustadter , michael h . weber , based on the novel by kent haruf producers : robert redford , finola dwyer , ted sarandos , erin simms coroducer : scott robertson executive producer : pauline fischer , sarah bremner , ben ormand director of photography : stephen goldblatt production designer : jane ann stewart costume designer : wendy chuck editor : john f . lyons music : elliot goldenthal casting director : avy kaufman venue : venice film festival ( out of competition ) 101 minutes\none of the first films to cement the nascent sundance film festival ' s reputation , blood simple isn ' t so much neo - noir as neo - neo - noir , using postmodern flourishes that still seem bold today . the most vivid is walsh as visser , presented more like a cold - blooded universal studios monster than a gumshoe , and the non - naturalistic lighting is often at odds with noir tradition , with the brothers allowing brilliant shafts of bright light to puncture the neon - lit dark . best of all is the use of the four tops ' it ' s the same old song as a motif \u2013 a neat touch that expresses genre familiarity with affection rather than cynicism . damon wise\nswedish oddity , because 20th century swedish cinema has to be more than just bergman . when a boy is looking for his mother he visits the numerous rooms of a large mansion and finds odd groups and individuals ;

few , if any , serious relationships before they make their big decision . there\u2019s just not enough time . and given that a person\u2019s partnership persona and relationship needs are often quite

minute running time for stan and ollie to get there . this is mostly due to a pair of standalone gags executed along the way .\n. \u201cshe had a real intuition about me , and not since my own mom had anybody really had my number . she really understood my tastes , and my ambition , and my fear , my anxiety about wanting to do everything by thursday morning . \u201d\ni read quite a few mysteries so the believability of the characters and the plot are important to me . that is one reason i have virtually given up on cozies . however , i have also noticed that even procedurals are starting to add more and more about the private lives of the detectives involved . i don ' t mind some information , but too often they go overboard so the mystery is lost in the problems of the detective . in fact , one plot device that seems to be current is the death of one of the team members . one other thing that bothers me is that some authors seem to feel that their detectives need to be perfect , with abilities that ' astound ' their colleagues or hunches that always prove to be right , but i prefer the detectives who can admit to being wrong occasionally . i am sure authors do this to move the story along , but as stories ( regrettably ) become longer and longer , i tend to lose interest and just want to get to the end . in fact , i sometimes just look at the end , and call it a day .\nwhen the detectives realize the slasher is in the house , stan repeatedly jumps on ollie\u2019s back in fear , preventing him from leaving the bedroom . when ollie finally manages to get the door open stan ends up missing ollie\u2019s back and jumping right through the door and on top of the judge\u2019s wife !\nsusan wrote :\ni enjoy nordic noir , but they often have some of the most angst ridden detectives , in my opinion .\ni ' ve just listened to the episode of the podcast a stab in the dark where mark billingham talks to anne cleeves and yrsa sigurdardottir where they discuss nordic noir .\nthe bowlers appear here because they were traditional headgear for detectives at that time , almost a badge of authority like a sheriff ' s stetson . i think i even remember some private eyes wearing bowlers in the stooge shorts ( i can ' t pin down any specific titles ) even though by the ' 30 ' s men ' s fashion in general had moved to the fedora . l & h ' s keeping the derbies forever after was a stroke of genius that made them iconic , motivation unknown , though by the ' 40 ' s they were wearing a lot of fedoras as well .\nwhat ' s the plot ?\nthe tipton slasher\nplans an evil plot to escape from jail and stan and oliver , detectives , are supposed to get the tipton slasher with violent , disastrious results . when the slasher pulls out a very violent knife , you know that this isn ' t a comedy .\ni think it depends what mood i am in . i like dark , depraved crime as well as the more gentle type . i enjoy european crime - not only nordic noir , but there is a lot of good crime fiction coming out of france , germany , etc . at the moment .\ni think fusco knows a little bit . but he probably assumes harold does a lot more than he actually does . the rest of the team probably figure he ' s safer the less he knows about it . especially since samaritan came online and would pick out fusco in a heartbeat if he were overheard .\nthat dress viola richard is wearing doesn ' t do much to hide her cleavage in certain shots . in one shot when she welcomes the boys into the house , she is standing on the right of the frame and leaning slightly forwards . this shot reveals a pretty good look at her backside too !\noh , and for my overall rating , i ' m going to go just a bit under metal ' s rating and rate this movie a 6 . 5 . in other words , i do not recommend watching this movie , except for the historic value , because at times this movie drags slow .\nhe knows they ' re doing good and helping people and there ' s another group of people out opposing them , if not their mission / goals , i think he ' ll be a little pissed , but will ultimately see that keeping him in the dark about the big picture let him stay under the radar .\nthough they were a few films away from becoming an official team , stan and ollie are here closer to being stan and ollie than ever before . they are a bit more well - groomed than their familiar selves ; but as this film marks the first appearance of the derbies and the traditional costumes , many fans think of\nso , as the title might suggest , in my opinion these things are all related . there ' s a very fine line between plagiarism and the rest of them , and i was wondering if anyone has some guidelines to follow . i ' ve always liked reading literature that would tastefully reference something obscure that i ' ve read or seen in the past . the question is , how do you do it tastefully . when does it become excessive ? i really like putting subtle and quirky shout - outs and homages to obscure things , but it seems like references can be closer to plagiarism . when does it become plagiarism ?\n) who sentenced him . laurel & hardy , inept employees of a private detective agency , are assigned to guard him . waylaying the judge ' s new butler , the killer gets into his house in that guise . prowling the house with huge knives and swords , young misses several opportunities to kill his intended prey , and adds the detectives to his list of victims when they continually get in his way . eager only to avoid him , and by now totally unconcerned by their mission to protect the judge , the boys do , by a fluke , capture him after all and after turning him over to the law , leave , bowing modestly and gracefully as they exit .\n\u201cwait , there is one way to find out . we set up a sting . you know like abscam . like abscam jerry . \u201d \u2014kramer \u201cwhat are you gonna do ? you gonna put on a phony beard and dress -

' i told george why that was such a terrible idea . i\u2019d worked so hard to give the truck a long and painful death and i thought that\u2019s what the audience wanted out of the resolution . i said , \u2018if the network does force you to blow the truck up again , you get another director to do it because i\u2019m not going to do it . ' george fought for me , and for himself because he agreed with me . \u201d\nhis missing - persons investigation has just turned up a body in the woods \u2013 naked , hands tied behind its back , and a bin bag duct -

- such as the golden age and like ellery queen were focused on the murder ( s ) itself . there wasn ' t much of a background on the detective . i like the leaphorn / chee mysteries because get to know the detectives and the mysteries they solve become intertwined with their lives . on the other hand , i don ' t mind a pure mystery with fair play and everything that is expected because then it is a puzzle to me . good mysteries can be literary . i just read\nred harvest\nagain by dashiell hammett , which must be blueprint for every private eye novel , and event though are several mini - mysteries in the book , the detective does undergo a change in the book which to me is closer to literary . i think ross mcdonald ' s lew archer books are both mysteries and literary because of the observations he makes and the people he encounters .\nthat\u2019s what laurel and hardy play this time : detectives . \u201cferdinand finklebery\u201d and \u201csherlock pinkham\u201d ( thankfully , the names are mentioned only once ) . they\u2019re charged with guarding the home of judge foozle ( jimmy finlayson ) and his dishy wife ( viola richard ) against a throat - slashing escaped con bent on revenge . finlayson , a regular foil for laurel and hardy , looks a little like chester conklin here . the killer ( noah young ) looks like mr . hyde . the wife looks just right .\n\u201ci think it\u2019s time that chappy got read in , the fusco got read in , \u201d plageman says . \u201cgiven the circumstance of where we ended up in the finale , where he was involved in the t - bone accident where dominic and elias were both shot , there\u2019s going to be a lot of questions for detective fusco . when the heat starts turning on him , then he\u2019s going to start to ask his own questions and want to know what\u2019s going on . \u201d\nbetsy wrote :\none other thing that bothers me is that some authors seem to feel that their detectives need to be perfect , with abilities that ' astound ' their colleagues or hunches that always prove to right ,\nperfect in their intuition and deductions , but so very imperfect in their own lives . i don ' t want every detective to be an alcoholic loner , with ptsd and a shady romantic liaison . . . who , as you say , will probably be fridged to raise the stakes .\nrather than being a star vehicle , jimmy finlayson and noah young are afforded nearly as much screen time as stan and ollie . both are excellent in their roles , and leave more of an impact than supporting players in l & h films usually do . it ' s more a good film than a good laurel and hardy film . but as it marks the first real appearance of the boys , it was the most important film they had made to date .\ni don ' t think plagiarism must necessarily be intentional , though . certainly it ' s at its worst and most obvious when it is . but if you know a novel or story very well , and it inspires you , and have read it enough that it lies in your subconscious . . . i think it ' s perfectly possible that you could accidentally write a passage that ' s almost word - for - word similar to something you ' ve read and admired before without realizing it . it ' s never happened to me before with novels , but i write songs in my spare time off from writing , and i ' ve certainly written a lyric that i later realized i ' d lifted from a song i ' d heard before ( and changed it , of course ) . or a composed a melody that i thought was good and original , only to listen to a song and realize crap ! that ' s where it came from !\nplot : when judge foozle ( james finlayson ) sentences \u201cthe tipton slasher\u201d ( noah young ) for his heinous crimes , the murderer vows revenge . when the slasher escapes prison , the judge hires two private detectives ( laurel & hardy ) to guard him . the pair must survive an encounter in a graveyard on the way to the judge\u2019s house , and then must face the judge\u2019s butler \u2013 who has been knocked out and replaced by the slasher ! can stan & ollie bring this killer to justice without being scared to death ?\nas you ' ve probably surmised from the marketing , tracy morgan and bruce willis are partners , detectives who don ' t do things by the book . cop out doesn ' t have opening credits ( a move which i give extra points for ) , we ' re just delivered instantly to an interrogation where t - morg is doing his thing . it should be said ( and so i ' ll write it ) that mr . morgan is one funny fellow . he ' s transcendent in 30 rock and of the 20 total laughs the movie contains , a good 75 percent come from morgan just riffing . the script itself seems relatively unfunny , and if they hadn ' t cast morgan my guess is they just would have given up on the project altogether . bruce willis comes off less great - - replacing him with a statue or inflatable doll might have provided more oomph - - and seann william scott is largely unused in what amounts to a cameo ( regardless of what the trailers indicate ) .\nwritten and filmed may , 1927 . released by pathe , july , 1927 . produced by hal roach . directed by fred guiol . story by hal roach . two reels . cast : stan laurel , oliver hardy , james finlayson , noah young , frank brownlee , will stanton . story : a murderer ( young ) vows revenge on a judge ( finlayson ) for sentencing him to death , so the judge hires two private detectives ( laurel and hardy ) for protection . the gumshoes bungle their way along , but manage to capture the criminal .\nthat\u2019s a great image . it\u2019s the quintessential cowboy . it also does not fit the actual story at all , for one simple reason : roland ( pictured above ) never wears a duster . but the image of the badass gunslinger is so prevalent in the minds of the audience that everyone ( including me ) thinks of him as wearing one . throughout most of the series , however , he wears either a deerskin vest or a blue chambray shirt . we think of him in the duster because of the cowboy myth .\nguardians of the galaxy vol . 2 picks up right where its predecessor left off both story - wise and in regard to its timeline . just a few months or so after the a - holes saved the galaxy and became a family , peter quill , drax , gamora , rocket , and groot embark on a new adventure that does something most sequels don\u2019t really do . rather than go bigger and double down on beloved set pieces of the first film , guardians of the galaxy vol . 2 goes smaller and more introspective .\nflagging a post will send it to the goodreads customer care team for review . we take abuse seriously in our discussion boards . only flag comments that clearly need our attention . as a general rule we do not censor any content on the site . the only content we will consider removing is spam , slanderous attacks on other members , or extremely offensive content ( eg . pornography , pro -

season run , which may not make sense to younger viewers who are only now discovering the iconic series via reruns or streaming .\ndo be consistent . one of an editor\u2019s favourite axioms is \u2018consistency is king\u2019 . minor inconsistencies are to be expected and can be fixed at copyedit stage . however , huge plot holes can be seriously disruptive and are harder to fix down the line than avoiding them in the first place . everyone approaches plotting in different ways ; some writers spend ages mapping it out , others find too much planning obstructive \u2013 it\u2019s whatever works for you . just remember , if you get in a bind , switch off , make a cup of tea , and revisit in an hour or so .\nif the goal of a series is to surprise and thrill its audience , binge - watching seems like a good end run around the self - defeating frenzy surrounding these kind of puzzle series , wherein we desperately want them to surprise us while making it all but impossible for them to do so . ( a thing i\u2019m not looking forward to in 2017 : having to watch twin peaks along with a clue - crazed internet , which theoretically has the power to spoil even bob . ) then westworld premiered , and i realized that making your audience feel smarter than and superior to your show is a perfectly viable strategy too .\nback at the judge ' s house he is sitting at the dinner table with his wife ( viola richard ) when she picks up the newspaper . the judge sees the headlines on the reverse which reveals the defendant has indeed carried out his courtroom threat and has escaped . foozle freaks , spitting out his drink and panics . outside the escaped convict heads towards the house with an accomplice and tells him his only intention is to get revenge on the judge for sending him down . the judge , having seen the newspaper is straight on the telephone to the detectives agency demanding the two bravest men they have . stan and ollie are hired by their boss ( frank brownlee ) to protect the judge .\nthat\u2019s probably vol . 2 \u2018s greatest asset . it exists solely to exist on its own terms , not as a crowd - pleaser or recapturing of previous success . despite releasing in may , it still aims to be an \u201caugust movie . \u201d it does what most sequels should aspire to accomplish in the same situation , especially when following one of marvel\u2019s best films , period . vol . 2 is technically a better film and a must - watch for marvel fans , but more importantly , it\u2019s a great example of how successful a film can be when put in the loving hands of a trusted visionary who doesn\u2019t really care what detractors may think .\noverall key laurel & hardy character traits on display in the graveyard scene : both have a na\u00efve childlike innocence , ollie has an inflated opinion of himself and is deluded that he is \u201cthe smarter of the two\u201d ( when in reality he is just as dumb if not dumber than stan ) , stan treats ollie like an older brother who will protect him ( jumping into ollie\u2019s arms ) , ollie is insistent on having stan do his dirty work ( forcing him retrieve their bowlers from the graveyard ) , stan does his famous \u201ccry\u201d that would become a trademark throughout his career , as well as various childlike facial expressions and body language that would become standard for the \u201cstanley\u201d character .\nof course , the main attraction in the film is the pair of detectives hired by the judge to protect him . they are ferdinand finkleberry ( stan laurel ) and sherlock pinkham ( oliver hardy ) . laurel and hardy are at their cowardly best trying to apprehend the villain\u2014or at the very least , stay alive . there\u2019s a lot of slapstick , and the pace is very quick , as the slasher ( having impersonated the butler ) is lurking abound the judge\u2019s home with a large dagger , which he later \u201cupgrades\u201d with a scimitar off the wall . there are several funny moments when stan and ollie try to apprehend the slasher , ending with stanley putting the handcuffs on oliver by mistake , and after a \u201cghost scene\u201d locking the slasher in the closet where oliver is hiding .\nwhat stan and ollie don\u2019t know is that the slasher and his henchman have jumped the judge\u2019s new butler ( as he walks to the judge\u2019s home for his first day on the job ) and the slasher is now masquerading as the family servant . the scenes where the slasher tries to exact his revenge on the judge are simultaneously horrifying and hysterical . the slasher gives the judge a drink from behind ( so that the judge can\u2019t see him ) and as the judge indulges , the slasher pulls out an absurdly long knife and threatens to do away with the judge , but quickly re - pockets the weapon and ducks out of the room when he hears the judge\u2019s wife coming . the slasher is truly scary in this scene , but both the ridiculousness of his knife and the fancy flourishes that the judge employs in the enjoyment of his drink acts as humorous counterbalance to the terror .\ni ' m curious what people consider most important in a mystery . of course , many things are needed to make a good mystery , but how do you rank them ?

adaptation of the opera without the music ( and hocus pocus ) makes for a solid film . - it ' s easy for people to immediately jump on the orientalism bandwagon , but they tend to forget that this film is a tragedy and the actions of the characters are justified in the film ( not to say that said ' s cultural theory is wrong ) . there are definitely issues with this , but it ' s not like the big ol ' racist boogeyman was unconsciously behind every move like the invisible hand .\ntotentanz ( 1919 ) as screenwriter in this apparently lost film , a beautiful dancer ' s sexual allure is used by an evil cripple to entice men to their deaths . falling in love with one of the potential victims , she is told by the cripple that he will set her free if her lover , actually a murderer himself , survives and escapes a bizarre labyrinthe which runs beneath the cripple ' s house .\nmetropolis ( 1926 ) as director in this silent film , a city of the future is threatened with destruction when a wealthy corporate leader enlists a mad scientist to put down labor reformers .\nmetropolis ( 1926 ) as screenwriter in this silent film , a city of the future is threatened with destruction when a wealthy corporate leader enlists a mad scientist to put down labor reformers .\ni was already very familiar to this story having seen the 2 silent adaptations in the 1915 version with mary pickford and fritz lang ' s harakiri 1919 . this is the first talkie of madame butterfly and it ' s got sylvia sidney as the asian lady cho - cho san . sidney ' s eyes are so unique that she can almost pass for a japanese . at least by hollywood caucasian standards of the time . much more believable then pickford years earlier .\nan adaptation of\nmadame butterfly ,\nthe tragic romance harakiri indulged lang ' s fascination with asian culture and orientalist design . filmed on the outskirts of berlin , lang strived for authenticity , and obtained sets and costumes from the hamburg anthropological museum .\nharakiri is problematic . as an adaptation of the great madame butterfly it is strongly lacking but creates its own space . my real qualms with this movie is that i din ' t like it . it was slow and whitewashed and simplistic . i do think , however , it is important .\nlilith und ly ( 1919 ) as screenwriter in this apparently lost film an inventor uses a strange jewel to bring to life a statue of lilith , and falls in love with her . soon , however , she begins to appear on a screen , also developed by the inventor , which reveals her to be a vampire who is slowly sucking his life essence from him , causing him to gradually fade away . he realizes the situation has become even more drastic when he notices his new love , ly , is being possessed by lilith and has also begun fading away .\nearly fritz lang film with some great production design behind it . beyond that it ' s an impersonally told story that only occasionally shows genuine emotion . the whitewashing of the story ( lang seems to like buddhist culture without really understanding it ) doesn ' t help its case either . he ' d make better films later in his career .\nthe script for this early fritz lang includes a backstory for the beautiful o - take - san , the central character in the puccini opera madame butterfly . in this film an evil buddhist priest who lusts after her spreads lies about her father . he tells the emperor her father , the diamyo , returns from his travels with foreign objects and is no longer loyal to japan . the emperor sends two men to see the diamyo , they hand him a knife , and tell him he must commit harakiri to prove his subservience . once he is dead , the priest takes o - take - san to the forbidden garden where she will be made a priestess , but she still refuses his advances . around this time she meets a european naval officer\u2026\ni have about zero familiarity with madame butterfly so this film really has to stand on its own for me . in that relative vacuum i liked it well enough . certainly it isn ' t as good as the films lang would be making in even just a couple of years , but as a formal piece of observation it is fairly nice with a story i could imagine working as a truly amazing film in the hands of someone like wong kar wai . lang ' s , a bit like brecht with the chinese opera , love of japanese culture is spread throughout making it much more charming than if someone who just used japan as a window dressing would likely have it . though in the same\u2026\nponderous film version of puccini ' s opera that features none of its music until the final credits . sidney is good as the tragic cho -

town superstition and religious paranoia , though \u201c red riding hood \u201d lacks the earlier film\u2019s visual mastery and rich sense of time and place . seeming willfully anachronistic one moment , distracted and fuzzy - headed the next , the film unfolds in what looks like a medieval european village populated by characters with names like valerie and roxanne , played by actors who make no effort to hide their flat american intonations when they say things like , \u201cyou\u2019d better watch yourself . \u201d\nwhen the wolf in one of carter\u2019s red riding hood stories explains to the girl why he has big teeth \u2014 \u201call the better to eat you with\u201d \u2014 she bursts out laughing . \u201cshe knew , \u201d carter writes , \u201cshe was nobody\u2019s meat . \u201d her insouciance is thrilling . ms . hardwicke wants to have her feminism and fairy tale , but carter\u2019s no - prisoners bad attitude is too far out for an entertainment like \u201cred riding hood , \u201d where only the appearance of girl power will finally do . given this , it\u2019s worth noting that ms . hardwicke , who is deeply enamored of aerial photography , sends the camera repeatedly soaring over the landscape where sometimes a woman in a red cloak as vivid as blood walks with a man across the snowy expanse . it\u2019s a striking image suggestive of freedom , though perhaps it\u2019s really just the guy who this little fairy - tale fugitive needs to escape from .\nsuch themes certainly seem to have helped attract hardwicke to the red riding hood story . in a recent interview with newsweek , she said :\nwhy did she get in bed with the wolf \u2026 it represents a dark animal nature which is close to sexuality . in the traditional story , the wolf cross - dresses and lures her into bed . that ' s pretty kinky right there !\nis distinguished as the only film on my list which was sarcastically applauded and howled at by disparaging critics as we sat in a soho screening room watching it ( though season of the witch very nearly broke out into a fervour too ) . this film held my number one spot for a long time , its badness running deep to its core , all the more disappointing given the film ' s ripe comic potential . taking herman melville ' s literary classic\nin this case the project is clearly aimed at a teenage audience obsessed with awakening sexuality and the supernatural . its director is catherine hardwicke of the hit vampire movie twilight .\nthis little red riding hood looks completely made for the twilight generation . it looks like it is teenage angst and very pale people ,\nsaid professor jonathan gray , a popular culture expert at the university of wisconsin - madison .\nthe novelization which includes a forward by red riding hood director catherine hardwicke has omitted the ending and is telling readers to go to a specific website once the film is released where the final pages will be posted . are they kidding ? first of all the book becomes useless once warner bros . decides it no longer wishes to maintain the site . second of all this is a total ripoff to fans everywhere . selling an incomplete book in order to drive up movie sales is a cheap , underhanded way to improve your box office numbers . this is low .\nhardwicke , you see , also brought twilight to the screen , becoming the most successful female director ever in the process . and if there\u2019s an unmistakable twilight - y whiff to the whole thing , it\u2019s thanks to her pedigree coupled with two none - too - subtle casting maneuvers : twilight dad billy burke plays red\u2019s father in red riding hood and shiloh fernandez , the also - ran who famously came this close to portraying edward cullen in the twilight saga , appears here as a wolf - battling character named , ahem , peter .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nthe film\u2019s heart - aches and lupine maulings exist in a nowhere land of bad genre clich\u00e9s ( hot girl - on - girl action ! a rave ! ) , quasi - medieval mise en sc\u00e8ne and\u2013most bafflingly\u2013emo posturing . which has resulted in a movie with considerably more violence and less romance than its storybook milieu would have you believe . more problematic still , red riding hood may ultimately end up trashing its director catherine hardwicke \u2019s hard - earned credibility as an oracle of adolescent interests\u2013as a filmmaker singularly capable of spinning the libido - driven chaos of budding teens into box - office gold .\none image shows red and her mother in a palatial mansion in pre -

tastic son of the village\u2019s reigning plutocrat . but valerie and peter\u2019s elopement gets the kibbosh when they discover the wolf\u2013who has kept an uneasy peace with this forest hamlet for generations thanks to regular pig sacrifices\u2013has viciously murdered valerie\u2019s sister . eventually famed werewolf hunter father solomon ( gary oldman , who doesn\u2019t so much chew scenery as gnaw entire soundstages to shreds ) is enlisted to battle the beast . bodies pile up while red finds her heartstrings plucked by the two young studs , either of who would gladly take her hand in marriage . or more to the point , owing to the fact that every character is potentially a werewolf in father solomon\u2019s view , either suitor could as easily bite red riding hood\u2019s hand off in the glare of the full moon .\nin red riding hood , valerie is being courted by the village\u2019s two hottest young lads , but rather than reveling in what must be every teenage girl\u2019s dream ( as evidenced by the ubiquity of this particular plot device in this new giant of a genre ) , she\u2019s forced , instead , to spend all her time worrying that one of them might be a werewolf\u2014while also dodging accusations of witchcraft and dealing with some dark family secrets . the ultimate revelation of the werewolf\u2019s identity and motives is annoyingly tidy , revealed in a half - assed series of flashbacks which finally answer the question of why valerie is the central figure of this story . but the film\u2019s final image is so decadent and haunting\u2014combined with highlights such as julie christie\u2019s performance as the aloof and mysterious grandmother , along with the rich opening and closing montages of breathtaking landscape shots punctuated with gothic touches\u2014that you sometimes realize you\u2019re enjoying yourself despite your better judgment . in the end , red riding hood is sort of like a hook - up that you remember more or less fondly but still would never tell your friends about .\nso , for seyfried\u2019s romantic interest in red riding hood , hardwicke called in what she labels the \u201c80 hottest guys from around the world\u201d \u2014 and narrowed them down to eight . she then instructed seyfried ( \u201cquite the trooper ! \u201d ) to make out with each of them . \u201ci\u2019d say , \u2018you don\u2019t have to kiss them all if you don\u2019t want to , \u2019 and then i\u2019d look over there and think whoa ! , \u201d she says , laughing .\ni actually enjoyed the original version of the film , thought it was a great twist to the tale . however the extended blu - ray version is better by far . this is an adult story , not for children . suitable for people who like romantic comedies , dramas and fantasy . i enjoyed the interplay between the characters . they all showed chemistry , especially amanda and shiloh . amanda seyfried works for me as ' red riding hood ' , though she is not addressed as such in the film . amanda is not playing an atypical victim , but a young woman who is comfortable with who she is and what she wants . shiloh fernandez was a good casting as the brooding would be love of red . he doesn ' t go over the top , but plays the part just right . max irons character was also a good casting . he is your typical male lead and a fitting counterpart to shiloh . all in all the three leads do a very good job and play their roles responsibly . this is not a tale for children to watch but more an adult version of the film . the supporting cast led by gary oldman , who is brilliant in every role he takes , are great . we are kept guessing as to who the wolf is with good scripting and acting . i enjoyed the music and ambience of the film . they helped weave the story . many people have criticised this film , but i enjoyed it and will happily watch it again .\nthe rare actress who can appear angelic and devilish in the same frame , the luminous seyfried would seem ideally cast as a sweetly corruptible red riding hood , but the film is loath to jeopardize the viewer\u2019s rooting interest by making her an especially rich or complicated heroine . oldman , playing an obvious caricature of fire - and - brimstone hysteria , nonetheless brings some declamatory showmanship and an interesting quasi - slavic accent to the community\u2019s otherwise bland diction . there\u2019s something to be said for allowing actors to speak and emote in their natural patois in a fairy - tale context , but here it serves merely to point up the general absence of magic .\nis a film that never really stood a chance as soon as its trailer was released ; giving away the main plot twist of the film - that its protagonist , played by daniel craig , is batshit crazy - is the most asinine marketing calculation seen in years , and makes for an utterly joyless , unsurprising cinematic experience . after spending 45 minutes waiting for the trailer twist to reveal itself , the rest of the film is spent getting increasingly ridiculous , resulting in an unsatisfying , shockingly dull thriller which serves as an embarrassment for all involved . in fact , stars daniel craig and rachel weisz disowned the film and refused to do publicity for it after taking issue with the studio - mandated cut of the film , and it ' s widely documented that director jim sheridan - who has endured a few duds as of late - had control taken away by the studio , who argued with him about how to shoot several scenes . it ' s hilarious to think that six months ago , oscar prognosticators were considering the merits of this film , and now it ' s topping many\nworst of . . .\nlists . the ultimate feel is that of a film by committee , not a singular , unique vision as one might expect from a talented director like sheridan ; it is clunkily put together , and frankly one feels the most productive result of it is that craig and weisz became a couple off the back of it . the film also serves as a crucial lesson in film marketing ; how could anyone think it was a good idea to essentially spoil the entire film from its first trailer . it ' s little surprise that daniel craig and rachel weisz disowned this turgid , woefully inept thriller which idiotically gave away its big reveal in the trailer .\namanda seyfried ' s big eyes are mesmerizing . her blond hair falls in pretty waves . she looks wonderful in red . those are the only good things to be said about this grotesque version of the classic fairy tale , which was directed by catherine hardwicke . in keeping with hardwicke ' s twilight past ( she helmed the first film ) , red is ripe with twisted messages about sexuality and beckoning werewolves , but , hard though it may be to believe , it ' s much , much sillier than twilight . seeing what hollywood did to this fairy tale is a reminder to not get too excited about the prospects of next year ' s snow white & the huntsman and mirror , mirror . on the other hand , the movie is proof that gary oldman , who chews the scenery as a witch - hunting priest in red riding hood and stars as the perfectly reserved george smiley in december ' s tinker tailor soldier spy , can rebound from anything .\nseyfried has as much fun as she can with valerie ; she relishes her passion in a way kristen stewart ' s bella never would . (\ni know good girls aren\u2019t supposed to go into the woods , \u201d says a wide - eyed valerie , shortly before flirtatiously playing with the woodsmen ' s phallic axe . ) she wears her red hood with hester prynne pride , and she does get to strike a fatal blow . but the shadow of bella can ' t be escaped . similarly , red riding hood has virtues ( the stark , stylized visuals ; a scenery - shredding turn by gary oldman as a religious werewolf hunter ) , yet it ends with such a naked attempt at launching a franchise , that any good evaporates . you might say that twilight has sucked the life right out of it .\nfairy tales are an easy thing for hollywood to adapt , since you don ' t actually need to pay licensing fees for ips or anything . which is why there was that whole fad of\ngritty fairy tales\n, like snow white and the huntsman and red riding hood and such . now , it seems , that fad has died out . but there ' s a subversive take on the way about the fairy godmother called . . . fairy . . . read more . . .\nwas red riding hood masterminded by a cadre of particularly silly 11 - year - olds undergoing withdrawal from twilight ? that\u2019s the only excuse for a movie this dopey . david johnson\u2019s screenplay is amateurish and tone - deaf , and director catherine hardwicke , best known for the perfume - commercial tone of that first twilight movie and thirteen , must have actively encouraged her fleet of able supporting actors to embarrass themselves . julie christie , virginia madsen , lukas haas and gary oldman couldn\u2019t have reached these depths on their own . the best performance in this movie is by a garment \u2014 the hooded red cape itself \u2014 which swirls and billows fetchingly in the snow .\noscar - nominated british actor andrew garfield will be honored this year with zurich ' s golden eye award , a lifetime achievement honor . garfield , whose career spans from the gritty brit noir of the red riding hood trilogy to acclaimed performances in mel gibson ' s hacksaw ridge , david fincher ' s social network and martin scorsese ' s silence to donning the tights for marc webb in the amazing spider - man , will attend zurich to receive his award . garfield will present his latest film , breathe , at the festival , together with actor andy serkis , who makes his directorial debut with the real - life drama based on the life of robin cavendish , who was . . .\ni was looking forward to this film as i thought that the trailer looked good and i liked the director from previous films she has done but although the mood was good throughout the film i thought that it just kind of seemed flat , a bit like an extended tv episode of a poorly written show . gary oldman was terrible in this as well , usually he is fantastic but i just don ' t think the part did him justice at all . wouldn ' t suggest you buy this but if twilight etc is your thing then you will probably enjoy this film .\n\u201ctwilight\u201d helmer catherine hardwicke has been tapped by sony pictures to direct its remake of \u201c miss bala , \u201d sources confirmed to variety . the film is an adaptation of the mexican entry for best foreign - language film at the 84th academy awards in 2011 . it centers on a woman named laura guerrero who , along with her friend , enters a miss baja beauty pageant . she witnesses during rehearsals a gang killing drug enforcement administration agents and nightclub - goers , which turns her life upside down . she\u2019s then kidnapped by the men and forced to work for them in the deadly drug war . related why catherine hardwicke started to fight back against hollywood sexism stephanie sigman starred in the original movie , directed by gerardo naranjo . kevin misher and pablo cruz will produce the remake , while andy berman executive produces . gareth dunnet - alcocer will write the adaptation . no talent is currently attached to star in the film . sony had\n\u201ctwilight\u201d director catherine hardwicke is set to helm the sony remake of \u201c miss bala , \u201d as reported by deadline . according to the site , \u201c jane the virgin \u201d star gina rodriguez is the front - runner to topline the film about a beauty pageant contestant who witnesses various drug - related crimes and is dragged into the gang\u2019s dangerous business . read more : \u2018the handmaid\u2019s tale\u2019 : margaret atwood expands her legendary novel for audible special edition the original drama premiered in the un certain regard section at the 2011 cannes film festival . and was mexico\u2019s submission for best foreign language film for the 84th academy awards . it was directed by mexican filmmaker gerardo naranjo , who also co - wrote it alongside mauricio katz . \u201c spectre \u201d actress stephanie sigman starred as the lead role . read more : \u2018the divine order\u2019 clip : swiss women fight for their rights in incredibly timely tribeca drama \u2014 watch the script for the english - language remake is\nso little red riding hood ' s real name was valerie . who knew ? it ' s one of the many minor tweaks to this grimms ' fairytale made over for the young teen movie market . think of it , in fact , as twi - lite - and that ' s not just because its director , catherine hardwicke , presided over the first instalment of the vampire franchise . it ' s also because of the heightened , cheesy special effects , brooding atmosphere and tale of a girl caught between two moody guys .\nprepare for a fairytale invasion . hollywood movie studios , in their constant quest for remakes and modern spins on old stories , are about to unleash a new wave of film versions of ancient european folktales .\nthe level at which red riding hood borrows from twilight is not just limited to the dueling suitors and the werewolf component ( oversized and able to move at lightning speed , this wolf would fit right in with jacob\u2019s crowd ) . the actor who plays valerie\u2019s father , billy burke , even plays bella\u2019s dad in the twilight series . and valerie has a special bond with the creature : she can talk to it , which causes her to worry about her own nature . \u201cmaybe there was something dark inside me , \u201d she speculates , shortly after father solomon commands her to put on her \u201charlot\u2019s robe\u201d and prepare to be offered up to the wolf . oh , red , what purple prose you\u2019ve been given .\nonce upon a time , a small girl in a red cloak scurried through the dark forest to deliver pastries to her worryingly lupine - looking grandma . now the girl in question is valerie , played by amanda seyfried , a totalicious babe , who lives in a quaintly imagined medieval european village , menaced by a werewolf that lives in the outlying forest . my ideal casting for red riding hood would have been justin bieber , but there you go . she is in love with sexy bad boy peter ( shiloh fernandez ) but promised in marriage to equally dishy posh henry ( max irons ) , who is supposed to be rich , and yet seems to have the somewhat pleb job of ironmonger , presumably to show us his sweaty pecs ."]}

and it was quite unnecessary for the targum carefully to eliminate all such expressions as seem to give the almighty bureau shape . in so doing it merely changes poetry into prose . but even more dull and commonplace is the explanation given by some modern commentators , that all that is meant is that david was once saved by a thunderstorm from some danger or other . really this glorious imagery , taken from all that is grandest on earth , is intended to magnify to us the spiritual conception of god ' s justice coming forth to visit the earth and do right and equity . in ver . 8 for\nthe foundations of the heavens ,\nwe find in\nthe striking contrasts between the hills and the plains are highlighted continually by the archaeology of palestine in the iron i period , as the wealth of canaanite and sea peoples material culture is compared with the poverty of the highland settlements of the israelites .\nwe appreciate the messages of support , hope , and solidarity that came from intellectuals , collectives , and peoples in response to our proposal entitled \u201clet the earth tremble at its core , \u201d which we made public during the first phase of the fifth national indigenous congress . we also acknowledge the critical voices , many of them making fundamentally racist arguments , that expressed indignant and contemptuous rage at the idea that an indigenous woman would aspire not only to contend for presidential election , but would propose to truly change , from below , this broken country .\nhe had barely time to post the letter before the mail - stage left the little hamlet in which it was written . he was soon dissatisfied with himself and the missive , and regretted having written it . before an hour had passed he muttered :\ni never wrote such a letter to a woman before , and i won ' t again . i put myself in the worst light , in fact was unjust to myself . how differently i would write to mara ! is it the difference in women which inevitably inspires different thought and action ? at any rate , there is a touch of coarseness in this masculine persiflage which grates . when i return we must become friends as man and woman . i wonder if she will feel as i do about it ?\nin contrast to meroz , however , the israelite tribes who declined to respond to the muster are only chided for remaining aloof from the fray with the canaanites . perhaps the poet recognized the ameliorating economic circumstances in the predicament of the israelite tribes who sat out the battle .\nthe foundations of the hills .\nthe former is the grander metaphor , and signifies the mighty mountain ranges , like those of lebanon , on which the skies seem to rest .\n- - the sudden burst of the storm is the divine answer to the sufferer ' s prayer . for similar manifestations comp .\npart one : extreme makeover . this heavy thing ;

studded men in black spin - off as he cuts a sharp figure in london . . . 21 years after the first film hit screens\nmy 10 - year - old son turned to me during the movie and asked whether the brain people in riley ' s head had brain people inside their heads , too . and later on , showing even more insight , he suggested that the problem with the movie was that nothing much happened .\nthis is where sadness comes in . when we get a glimpse into riley\u2019s mother\u2019s head at the dinner table , we can see her own sadness is in charge of operations , and that\u2019s why , even though yellow joy is generally in charge of riley\u2019s hq , she has sadness\u2019s blue hair and aura . perhaps worried that riley might take after her , riley\u2019s mother wants her to be a \u2018happy girl\u2019 , but as things go from bad to worse , the pressure to be happy begins to seem like the real problem . indeed , recent studies by social psychologist dr brock bastian and others confirm that negativity is often our most useful companion when times are tough \u2013 it helps us anticipate problems , find solutions and empathise with others when things are going badly . it\u2019s not negative emotions that are bad for us , but the suppression of them , especially when they are healthy , functional responses to difficult situations .\njoy is not the default emotion for everyone , either . in riley ' s father , anger is in control , and sadness is in control of her mother . the\ncool girl\nhas fear as the main emotion , and the bus driver ' s emotions , aside from their colours , all look exactly like anger .\nthe character quickly developed a life of her own . sitting in a cafe having lunch one day , arthur , who when out of costume was quite unrecognisable , overheard two women at the next table . they were discussing that week\u2019s bill at the local variety theatre . \u2018are you coming to see old mother riley tonight ? \u2019 one woman asked her friend . \u2018i\u2019ll not bother , \u2019 the other replied , \u2018i\u2019ve heard it\u2019s just some man called arthur lucan , taking her off . \u2019 the character had an irish name , riley , and had previously had the even more obviously irish name of o\u2019flynn . mother riley was , moreover , always represented not just as a washerwoman , but as an irish washerwoman . kitty played the role of the daughter in a very pronounced irish accent ( which was , in fact , her natural speaking voice ) . with all this , and despite his adopted irish surname of lucan , arthur always played the part with an english accent !\nchris woodward has written a book about the palladium , entitled \u2018the london palladium - the story of the theatre and its stars\u2019 . he tells me the book mentions nearly every act which ever appeared there , including lucan and mcshane . page 146 has a photo of arthur on stage , in character . and the book also includes reproductions of posters , including a couple showing old mother riley ' s billing . this is not a book about arthur lucan , but it does include him . \u00a335 from jeremy mills publishing .\ni ' m inserting reviews for films i ' ve seen that lack one , review . . . . weaker entry in the series , here the daughter gets kidnapped in portugal by wine thieves . not much of a review i ' m afraid , but it ' s not much of a film , the copy i saw in nov -

argument - section\n, suggesting that that island is powered by a joy / anger core memory ) . meanwhile , sadness is finally treated as an equal among the other four emotions , and joy solemnly remembers bing bong ' s sacrifice as things begin to return to normal and riley , now twelve years old , adapts to life in a new city . finally the five emotions now have a larger , more complete console wherein they can act at the same time and help riley better . disgust also notes a large red button labelled\npuberty\nand questions what it does , joy dismisses it as\nnot important\n. meanwhile , at a hockey game , riley picks up a water bottle belonging to a boy , and inside his mind we see his own emotions freaking out , with a large klaxon alarm shouting\ngirl !\n, possibly hinting at what is to come for riley ' s own emotion in the coming years .\nalso , all the emotions in riley ' s mom are all female and resemble her , and the emotions in riley ' s dad are all male and resemble him , but riley has 3 female emotions and 2 male emotions who look nothing like her . in this aspect she is unique , as everyone else ' s emotions ( including those of people the same age of her ) are all the same gender and clearly resemble their human\nhost\n.\nhe retreated within himself . he lost a lot of weight , bags formed under his eyes and ' he looked like death itself ' , riley said .\nthis image shows how the island appears in the film . inspired by oil refineries , the filmmakers included tubes , pipes and scaffolding on each island . because the islands are roughly seven miles from the headquarters , from which audiences first view them , each of their major attributes had to read clearly , hence their large scale . and each is powered by one of riley\u2019s core memories .\nmaureen lipman , the well known jewish comedian , was a surprising choice for the part of the fiery irish catholic girl , kitty mcshane . but maureen grew up in hull , and remembered old mother riley\u2019s connection with the city . brian told an amusing account of his first meeting with frank seaton , who was understudying him in the play . \u2018have you ever done any understudy work before ? \u2019 , he asked innocently . \u2018well , \u2019 came the reply , \u2018i actually was arthur lucan\u2019s understudy , and went on for him the night he died . \u2019 \u201ci fell off my chair backwards , \u201d laughed brian .\nup to this point , the act was still billed in the theatres as \u2018lucan and mcshane\u2019 , and arthur\u2019s character of the old woman went under the name mrs o\u2019flynn . it was con west , screenwriter of their\nsustaining marriage for the 44 - year - old billionaire entrepreneur and innovator is almost as challenging as developing his electric car tesla , designing rockets that deliver supplies to the space station - spacex , or founding paypal .\npixar\u2019s filmmakers and designers have always worked their imaginations to create their films\u2019 original worlds and narratives . but they might have met their biggest challenge in tackling the well of imagination itself \u2014 the mind . that\u2019s mainly where pixar\u2019s latest movie , \u201cinside out , \u201d takes place : in the head of an 11 - year - old girl , riley , at a major moment of change .\nalthough the other emotions beg her to stop riley from running away and fix the relationship between her and her parents , joy turns control over to sadness , which surprises the others , because they need her to help riley . sadness decides to pull the idea bulb out of riley ' s mind . this makes riley , under the command of all her main emotions again , give up on running away , and she decides to return home , to her worried parents . joy gives sadness the happy memories and they turned into sad ones . sadness takes control of the panel and riley finally reveals her true feelings to her parents as she begins to cry , telling her parents that she hates san francisco , misses the good old days in minnesota , and that she was pretending to be happy and was afraid of making them mad because she has always been their\nhappy girl\n. riley ' s parents admit they feel the same way , creating a new core memory - only this one is a mixture of yellow and blue ; both joy and sadness . it creates a new\nfamily island\nthat is visibly more complete , and allows for the various aspects of her personality to return in full .\nbing bong discovers that his rocket had already been dumped into\nthe memory dump\n, a seemingly , never - ending pit of darkness beneath headquarters where obsolete memories go to be erased from existence for good . meanwhile , in riley ' s mind , anger , disgust and fear are doing their best to guide riley through her new surroundings . anger accidentally instigates a confrontation with riley ' s friend meg when video chatting her , which causes the island which controls this part of her personality ,\nfriendship island\nto collapse into the abyss . the emotions realize that tampering with riley ' s personality will cause it to further be erased , with potentially disastrous results .\nthis sketch is a storyboard for goofball island . it was drawn by the film\u2019s co - director , ronnie del carmen . in their efforts to lock down the script and shape the film\u2019s structure , the filmmakers drew the entire movie almost like a comic book . they put it together with music , sound effects and dialogue to approximate what the movie would be like . the idea for the islands came late in the development process , and the filmmakers needed a sketch that would resemble their idea .\nriley\u2019s main problems \u2013 growing up , and moving away from her childhood home \u2013 are identical to those of pixar\u2019s first feature film , toy story . in the latter , andy\u2019s fear and distress is played out by the toys , the whole story enacting the kind of imaginary play we might expect to see in a child\u2019s psychological evaluation , with woody and buzz vying as male role models ( the implication being that the family is downsizing following a divorce ) . when inside out treats the same topic , the adventure is the emotional journey itself : will joy reign over riley\u2019s head once again ?\narthur joined a family act called the musical cliftons , and later toured with the comedian will pepper . while he was appearing in ireland in 1913 , he met and married a young irish girl named kitty mcshane , with whom he developed a double act . arriving in dublin , he found he needed an irish surname in order to obtain work . legend has it he saw a milk cart go by from lucan\u2019s dairy ; and lucan he remained ever after . with kitty he created his most famous routine , the sketch brigettes night out . for this he dressed in a frock for the first time , taking the appearance of an old woman . he modelled the costume on the old - fashioned clothes his mother used to wear , and he based the character on gossipy irish women he\u2019d seen while on tour . the fame of the sketch led to them appearing in the 1934 royal command performance . this royal appearance gave them celebrity status , and launched them into their first film .\nin this latest film , pixar are not just putting us through the mill . they\u2019re showing us that , somewhat paradoxically , the way to be really happy is to experience a whole range of emotions . when riley is born , there is only joy , standing in front of a laughter button , but as riley grows older , she is joined by anger , disgust , fear and sadness . when life gets really tough , sadness is not the antagonist she first appears , but the unsung hero . that\u2019s the real lesson : joy might be fun to hang around , but wellbeing is a team effort .\nriley herself never comes into focus as a person ; her parents , teacher , school mates , past life and new environment , are sketched in the most simple , generic terms .\nin the teaser trailer , riley and her family are eating from chinese food boxes of the same type as the one seen in a bug ' s life and several other pixar films .\nthere are currently 2 versions of the film ' s first official trailer , and there ' s only one major difference : in the uk version of the official trailer , the dad ' s emotions were watching soccer , but in the us version , they were watching hockey .\nemotions are personified as characters who direct riley\u2019s feelings from a control center , and memories are tactile spheres to be collected and stored . extending from the control center are places that guide riley\u2019s actions . with few hard reference points for how to portray these interior aspects of psychology , the filmmakers had the freedom to go anywhere with the look . eventually , they were guided by light .\nhere is a closer look at goofball island , powered by riley\u2019s moments of silliness and her enjoyment of the playful . the director pete docter and mr . eggleston provide commentary on its development .\neach emotion has a defined purpose in riley ' s life : joy attempts to keep her happy , anger keeps her life fair , disgust keeps her from being poisoned both physically and socially and fear keeps her safe . sadness , however , doesn ' t think she has a purpose in riley ' s mind , or that of the other emotions , and is ignored as a result .\n\u201cthe idea ultimately was the word \u2018electrochemical , \u2019 \u201d the production designer ralph eggleston said in a telephone interview . \u201cit meant thinking of things as energy or energy - based , excitable . \u201d that idea led to light - filled characters , and translucence in many of the objects in riley\u2019s mind . the filmmakers met with neurologists and scientists to better understand the mind\u2019s inner workings and came up with places like the islands of personality , powered by riley\u2019s most significant , or core , memories . with names like family island and hockey island , each has recognizable structures that correspond to riley\u2019s memories .\noblivious to sadness ' crisis , the other emotions focus on organizing riley ' s memories , which are housed in luminous spheres known as memory orbs . the most relevant memories , known as core memories , power up five\nislands\nin riley ' s mind , each reflecting a different aspect of her personality : family island , friendship island , goofball island , hockey island and honesty island .\n' hi . i ' m linda o ' keefe . . . 45 years ago today , i disappeared and my killer was never found ' : police tweet as the 11 - year - old girl who was murdered in 1973 in a bid to publicize the cold case\nthe old mother riley series was certainly an interesting concept . heterosexual british males really relish dressing up in drag ( dame edith , monty python , benny hill , etc . ) , and this series may well have started more modern comedians on their way . unfortunately , the films have suffered in quality over the years , and are faded or spotty . some that i have viewed have such poor sound quality that i lost a goodly portion of the jokes as well as the plot !\nheadmistress\nhas survived somewhat better , probably because it was towards the end of the series , but lucan ' s physical comedy has become automatic and predictable in this one . still , if you are a lover of brit humor , as i am , you ' ll find this a pleasant pasttime .\non riley ' s first day of school , joy orders sadness to not touch anything and let the other emotions do their job . but sadness touches a memory that makes riley cry in front of her new class which creates a new core memory . joy desperately tries to dispose of the new core memory by using a vacuum tube that leads to the mind world , but a struggle with sadness leads to the core memories being knocked out from the container . before joy can put them back , she and sadness are carried off with the core memories , leaving disgust , fear and anger to deal with riley .\nat night , joy and her fellow emotions finally reach the loading dock , although it is now so late that the train of thought will not arrive until morning . they give riley a nightmare by awakening a monstrous clown named jangles , from her subconscious and fear , being on dream duty that night awakens her , jump starting her train of thought . joy , sadness and bing bong are nearly at headquarters when the other bunch of emotions put their plan in action , instructing riley to steal from her mother ' s bag and pack it to run away to minnesota . this action causes riley ' s\nhonesty island\nto crumble , destroying the train of thought . joy finds a way back to headquarters through a broken recall tube , but after sadness almost turns the core memories sad , joy decides to leave her behind . she starts up the tube , but as riley gets on the bus , family island begins to crumble , destroying the tube and causing joy to fall into the memory dump . bing bong tries to get her , but the ground he was standing on falls , while sadness barely escapes the same fate .\nin a way , that ' s the movie ' s real point . life ' s true dramas , it is implied , are internal and there ' s little more to dad or mom or place than the role these play in triggering events inside of riley \u2014 or inside each of us . and that , finally , is where the movie falls flat . it purports to the be the story of a girl , but in fact there is no girl character in the film . riley is not a person , she is a robot , a complicated vessel whose actions and intentions are controlled by persons \u2014 emotions and memory workers \u2014 inside of her . riley is no more an agent in her own right than is , say , a ship an agent in its own right . or , to change the image , she is like a puppet controlled by the team working in headquarters : s he is empty .\ninside out begins with a question , posed by the movie ' s narrator , joy , who is an emotion living inside of riley : did you ever look at a baby or a person and ask yourself what ' s going on in there ? a good question , but the movie ' s playful answer unfolds more like a textbook presentation of the awkward synthesis than by providing any insight into what it is like to be riley or any other person . headquarters is staffed by five emotions ( joy , sadness , anger , fear and disgust ) . these compete among themselves to operate the joysticks and dashboard that control the person whose emotions they make up . they handle , store , protect and disregard memories and experiences . at night they do\ndream duty ,\nprojecting film clips ( memories ) onto the screen of riley ' s consciousness . each of them , driven by their own dominant disposition \u2014 sadness tends to be sad , joy tends to be optimistic and happy \u2014 participates in a kind of give and take , a negotiated peace in which they manage riley ' s states and cause her to react to events in the world around her .\nkitty protests that she loves the man and wants to marry him . she plays her ace . \u201cafter all , mother , you know what it\u2019s like to be in love . you\u2019ve been married yourself . \u201d but arthur effortlessly trumps her : \u201cyes , but i married your father ; you want to marry a stranger ! \u201d eventually kitty decides to stay , and mother celebrates . \u201ci\u2019ll give you a party : i\u2019ll open a tin of sardines ! \u201d the sketch has double - talk comedy , moments of pathos - and pure slapstick as a furious row develops in which lucan as the old woman destroys every piece of china on the set , hurling plates , cups and jugs until only one piece remains intact . until , of course , he forgets he\u2019s holding it , and smashes it . the moment when he realises , not daring to look , holding just the handle as he feels for the non - existent jug , is pure theatrical magic .\njoy and sadness venture the various islands and a labyrinth - like place called long term memory , where riley ' s past memories are restored . they are soon assisted by riley ' s childhood imaginary friend bing bong , a scrappily - dressed pink cotton candy - elephant - cat - dolphin creature . bing bong was hoping to reconnect with riley via a memory of his song - powered wagon\nrocket\n. although initially , bing bong is happy and cheerful , the pair discover that he is secretly miserable , having been out of a job since riley was four , he desperately wants to feel loved again , reasoning that , if he has no purpose , he will cease to exist . although joy attempts to keep this revelation positive , sadness comforts a crying bing bong ( which leaves joy more confused than ever as to how being sad could help bing bong ) .\nthe playground seen in riley ' s memory orb is taken from sunnyside daycare from toy story 3 , with the only difference being that the slide is not coiled but straight . the setting is also different from sunnyside .\nwhen the story was being developed , it was originally going to be joy and fear who get lost in riley ' s mind . according to the developers , they thought it was\nlike the funniest choice .\nsilicon valley tycoon , elon musk , called the thomas edison of our time , remains married to his second wife , talulah riley , after divorcing her once , marrying her twice and tearing up the second set of divorce papers .\npixar have never shied away from presenting everything that life can throw at you . perhaps the most famous example is in the montage of carl and ellie\u2019s life together at the start of up , which , taken alone , stands as perhaps the greatest short film of all time , not just for its miracle of condensation , but for the emotional impact of their childlessness , which has reduced audiences of all ages to tears . ( careful viewers may even spot scenes from this sequence in the great bowling - ball alleys of riley\u2019s long term memory . ) equally , on the death of riley\u2019s imaginary friend , who sacrifices himself to save joy , the cinema erupted with the sound of children crying , which is just as well because i think a number of the adults were sniffing too . the whole audience left the cinema elated .\nrobert kenny\u2019s new book on the lives and films of lucan & mcshane was published by bearmanor media books on 31st october 2014 . the book is entitled \u201cthe man who was old mother riley - the life and films of arthur lucan and kitty mcshane\u201d by dr robert kenny . it corrects many errors of fact concerning the biographies of lucan & mcshane . and it includes the first serious full - length analysis of arthur lucan\u2019s films , which have previously been sadly neglected . it contains hitherto unknown reviews and interviews from the hull daily mail in the 1930s , which reveal the depth of public affection for the dame who could make ' em cry as well as laugh . as dr kenny puts it :\narthur lucan at his best provoked thought as well as laughter . . . to the intense annoyance of the establishment , working - class audiences adored this screechy - voiced virago . . . always the underdog , shaking her scrawny fist at the world in defence of the downtrodden .\ninside out follows 11 - year - old riley and the five emotions \u2013 joy , fear , anger , disgust and sadness \u2013 that live in the control room of her head . when riley\u2019s family moves away from her childhood home in minnesota to san francisco , she loses sight of the core memories that tell her who she is , prompting joy and sadness to go on a journey deep into her mind to get them back . the topography grates : having to catch the train of thought home because honesty island has crumbled sounds like the worst allegory since pilgrim\u2019s progress , if you think about it too hard . but as ed catmull , pixar\u2019s co - founder and president , wrote in his book creativity inc . , \u2018if you give a good idea to a mediocre team , they will screw it up . if you give a mediocre idea to a brilliant team , they will either fix it or throw it away and come up with something better , \u2019 and in the hands of pixar\u2019s story artists , the landscape of riley\u2019s mind becomes the battleground for a new way of looking at wellbeing .\nregular readers of my comments know that i take each movie as a special challenge . some movies are rewarding in themselves , they intrinsically enrich or give value . most are less than that and require work to make the experience valuable or at least interesting . sometimes the challenge is significant . readers have been sending me movies to test my ability , sort of like audience members throwing chain saws to jugglers . there ' s a really challenging batch in my pouch right now , some abbott and costello nuisances , and all of the mother riley things . of them , this is the most challenging , which is to say that it has nothing in it that by itself is remotely interesting . there ' s none of the ordinary leverage you can get with bad movies : nothing in the badness is comically bad . its quite simply unsuccessful in its two goals . the setup is mrs riley , played by a man and his on screen daughter played by his wife . she ' s so much younger that early in their careers they were advertised as father and daughter . she ' s alarmingly unattractive . mrs riley is nauseatingly unfunny . usually when jokes don ' t work , it is because there ' s a certain ticklish spot that some folks have and you just fall out of the demographic . so you can dismiss it as bad humor , but in doing so you acknowledge that it is humor . the funny bit with mrs riley is rooted in the bristish class system and a specific niche . this is a lot like eddie murphy playing a fat black mama . we all know the type . we all recognize what murphy is playing with . but in 50 years , that stereotype will be gone , the class structure will have mutated and the riff will be completely incomprehensible because its center will have evaporated . well , that ' s what happened here . the joke about a specific type of old bag may have had resonance in its time and place \u0097 it surely did . but now , it is fossilized humor . the story is unique for the riley serious , i think . it tries to have the old family lost and regained plot . well , that i can be sure of is merely incompetent . ted ' s evaluation - - 1 of 3 : you can find something better to do with this part of your life .\njoy , sadness and bing bong hatch a plan to ride the\ntrain of thought\nback to headquarters , and begin their trek through various parts of riley ' s mind in order to reach the loading dock ( areas such as imagination land , dream productions , and so on ) . meanwhile , with disgust , anger and fear in control , riley ' s life begins to crumble . she alienates her former friends from minnesota , fails to connect with her parents , and struggles in the new school . as joy and company close in on their destination , anger , disgust and fear finally reason that , if riley was only happy in minnesota , there is no choice but to tell her to return there , and prepare to run away from her own family .\nand , then , it ' s hard to know what to make of the fact that riley ' s emotion controllers are made of three females in dresses ( joy , sadness , disgust ) and two men in male garb ( fear and anger ) . are fear and anger male emotions ? are disgust , joy and sadness female ? and then there ' s the fact that riley is the only character we meet whose internal chorus is made up of male and female characters . mom is all female within . and dad is all male . is riley bi - sexual ( in the relevant sense ) because she ' s pre - pubescent ? is there a biological theory of gender at work here ? ( another interesting question : why is there no racial variation in our internal population ? )\none notable occurrence is when anger is referring to the fact that riley ' s happy core memories were created in minnesota and uses the console to call up that memory , but is instead met with the commercial . he then yells ,\ndid i ask for the gum commercial ? !\n11am - 4pm . talk by dr robert kenny ,\narthur lucan and the hull connection\n. round table , q & a ; ' s . showing of thames tv ' s 1969 lucan documentary . visit to the lucan memorial in orchard cafe , paragon street , on the site of the old tivoli theatre . 3 : 30pm . wreath - laying at arthur ' s grave in hull eastern cemetery .\ni don ' t mean to be humorless about this . i get the joke . it ' s an old joke . recall the sperm people in woody allen ' s everything you always wanted to know about sex who live and die by the motto\nfertilize an ovum or die trying !\n\u2014 or the taste buds in the 1979 budweiser commercial who complain about the dry mouth that accompanies the munchies ."]}

the reception of the film , the first ruminating on whether the film addresses the complexities of communal mobilisation adequately ; and the second inquiring in the context of social media and particularly facebook , what constitutes the \u2018liking\u2019 of an image or idea . the idea of posting these comments is as much to give space to these arguments as it is to make a larger point that the \u2018sickular left\u2019 voices that are presumably behind the film love discussion , critique and disagreement . that to my mind is the way forward , not pre - empting the always - already hurt sentiments of the bhaiyya log whosoever they may be .\nby casting kunchacko boban and biju menon ( a pairing with proven track record ) , as if that is enough to guarantee success .\nthe film written by benny p nayarambalam follows the formulaic path trodden by its two heroes in the past . biju menon is once again a dim - witted but sturdy bengali fellow who can take on any opposition single - handedly reminding us of marykkundoru kunjaadu ( 2010 ) that came out of the pen of the same writer . kunchacko boban too has very similar role as the one played by dileep in marykkundoru kunjaadu where he takes advantage of menon ' s physical strength to settle scores with his adversaries . here boban makes him do the work while he himself enjoys playing angry birds on his phone .\nthere are efforts to make social comments here and there but they are subdued by the laughter that ensues them . for example , the film begins with an ambulance ride from kerala to bengal , carrying the mortal remains of a labourer who had worked in a construction site and boban starts narrating the back story sitting in the passenger seat , while the ambulance is driven by menon . everything that happens in the story can be guessed beforehand as if we have seen this before and now we are watching it all for the second time .\nmenon provides impetus to humour by mispronouncing malayalam words . he has the responsibility of carrying the thrills by fighting streetwise goons . boban has to support him through out . innocent , who has lost his mental balance due the loss in his business of supplying labourers for construction sites , is supposed to be funny . suraj venjaramoodu , as a typical malayalee worker who desires to be paid wages without really working , does get a couple of interesting lines . tezni khan as the loud sex worker goes unintentionally overboard . vijayaraghavan and shammi thilakan as the father - son politicians are the villains of the piece but ,

quality humour . he has managed to make many films with simple stories to greater hits , mainly due to soaking them in lighter vein . his one latest attempt for this onam is \u2018bhaiya bhaiya\u2019 directed by johny antony . a movie which tells a relatively fresh story in the backdrop of migrant workers , the movie has plenty of ordinary jokes planted in a relatively fresher narratives .\nthe movie is told as a monologue by babumon ( kunchakko boban ) , who is currently travelling to bengal with the dead body of a migrant worker . in the driver seat of the ambulance is babulal chatterji ( biju menon ) affectionately called \u2018bhaiya\u2019 by babumon . since the arrival of babulal to their home at the age of ten , both of them has grown together just as brothers , taking intense care of each other . also travelling with them is angel ( nisha agarwal ) , who is eloping from her house to get married to her childhood friend babumon . another tamil migrant worker shanthi ( vinuthalal ) has alighted the vehicle so that she can save her money for travelling to her home town near salem . adding to them is soman , a construction worker from kerala who is taking it as a chance to see bengal . how they happens to be together in this eventful journey forms the rest of the story .\nthough the basic tale by benny p nayarambalam is not that elaborate , it has elements that could have worked pretty well . added to that the return of comedy artists like suraj venjaramoodu and salimkumar . but apart from the wits that makes you laugh at intervals , the movie doesn\u2019t offer much to carry home . it seems to have been directed in a lighter mode , not taking anything seriously enough . so the maoists\u2019 in the tale to the \u2018planned filmy fights\u2019 in the climax doesn\u2019t make sense and the necessary impact . had it been treated more wisely , the movie could have got scenes like those in the league of \u2018ramjirao speaking\u2019 . the coincidences galore in the climax also doesn\u2019t work well for the movie .\nthe actors in the fray has not much to do , though biju menon impresses with his one liners and carry on his fine chemistry with kunchakko boban who is another cakewalk role . suraj manages to crack some wits but salim kumar appear totally lacklustre . vinutha lal as shanthi and nisha agarwal as angel does their parts as per demand , though they have nothing too demanding to do . vijayaraghavan and shammi thilakan are in their usual roles while sudheer impresses as the goonda leader .\nin the technical sides vinod illampilly\u2019s shots are fine and adds to the quality of the movie while ranjan abraham has also evenly paced the narratives . the three songs by vidyasagar are good of which the first couple are

as of now it may not be a painful onetime watch .\n, it will be a crime even to compare the two films . while the former is a sheer delight to watch , the kunchacko boban ? biju menon comedy is a colossal bore .\n? bengali ? babu ( kunchacko boban ) is a supplier of labourers , while the other babu ( biju menon ) is a bengali by birth . the two have grown up together and share a bond of brotherhood that is quintessential for masala movies .\na series of events follow and actually it is a tough ask to recollect it in order , by the time the end titles start rolling . a baddie , who yells his dialogue at top volume , comes at times . then a corrupt politician and his son , who is forced to marry a prostitute is there . the heroines and the hullabaloo that ensue don ? t help things either .\nafter a while , all the important characters are on a trip to kolkata .\nwith a script that is shaky from the word go , director johny antony is on a weak ground here . the film has perhaps been churned up to make use of the popularity of kunchacko boban and biju menon as a pair . but of all the things , you need a credible storyline and script to make it all engaging , right ?\nkunchacko boban sleepwalks through the role and so does biju menon . the latter tries in vain to come up with a new style of dialogue delivery to evoke laughs , maybe like ordinary . among the heroines , nisha aggarwal seems to have no acting bones whatsoever and vinuda lal makes only a limited impression .\nhave just mixed melodrama , crass comedy , song n dance routines and some action

.\nbabu and babu are brothers ( not by blood ) . the elder babu ( biju menon ) was adopted by younger babu\u2019s father from bengal . both babu\u2019s are very much attached to one another . younger babu is a labor supplier and the movie basically focuses on the journey of these brothers to bengal for a purpose .\nby this bengali babu title , i expected some elements in the film that are related to the recent development in our state were too many bengalis are coming here for labor . but except for the job title of the character played by kunchako boban , there isn\u2019t anything in the film that has any contemporary relevance . the script is a disjoint canvas where benny p nairambalam has written unbaked scenes taken from his own filmography . the romance reminded me of marykkundoru kunjaadu and sound thoma . rest of the sequences was also somewhat familiar through many films we have seen in the past . some scenes still doesn\u2019t make any sense . and those climax chaos made me laugh at many points but if i rethink why those scenes were there ? i have no idea !\non screen kunchako boban is okay as the younger babu . senior babu played by biju menon was funny but that was kind of a used out idea ( again sound thoma reference ) . nisha agarwal\u2019s dubbing and facial expressions had no connection . somewhat a better role for vinutha lal compared to her till date films . dracula fame sudheer may get more chances after this film . suraj and salim kumar were nice . nice performances from shammy thilakan , vijayaraghavan and thesni khan . a lot of irrelevant characters are there in film .\njohny antony doesn\u2019t show any improvement in his making . a large portion of the movie is dull and the humorous section is isolated from the film . the script would have been a hit if the same actors presented it in any award shows or television comedy skits . disappointing music and satisfactory cinematography . bgms were really poor .\nsave my name , email , and website

is a powerful political symbol against the sectarian social engineering , manufacturing of communal tensions and state sponsored violence that litter the path of the bharatiya janata party\u2019s ( bjp ) recent political ascendancy . the film\u2019s success lies in rubbishing the development sans communalism claim of the new - age hindutva . it is a film that will compel those who have chosen to accept the above - mentioned claim , particularly young voters with weak memories of the post - godhra gujarat carnage ( 2002 ) , to rethink their positions . the film also cautions those who have used the claim as a cover to express their hindutva sympathies more freely than ever .\nthorough in its portrayal of the anatomy of the violence , the film highlights the essentially manufactured nature of the muzaffarnagar \u201criot\u201d . three pillars of indian democracy \u2013 election - oriented political parties , administration , and media \u2013 had converged on muzaffarnagar with sinister intentions , the film points out . it is sensitive to the way communalism translates itself into existing tensions around caste and gender and in turn reconfigures them . the pathetic effects of sectarian violence on the lives of existing communities \u2013 their men , women , children and elderly \u2013 are granted the attention that they deserve .\ndespite the thorough reading of that anatomy , however , some questions linger . one can hardly disagree with the director nakul singh sahwney\u2019s key observation : shrewd strategic manipulation has been central to the outbreak of the violence and to the upswing in the bjp\u2019s political fortunes . but are people innately so passive and readily susceptible to political manipulation ? what were the long - term processes within the village communities of muzaffarnagar that made them susceptible to communal provocation ? how did a union as powerful as the bharatiya kisan union fall prey to communal polarization ? or was the famed communal unity of the sugarcane farmers of the region indeed so fragile ?\nthe film excels in the anatomy of the communal violence as it happened but tells us little about the long - term trends that made such violence possible . trends that perhaps escaped our eyes , until they suddenly boiled over in the form of massive communal polarization all over the country over the last two years . why did the bjp\u2019s machinations coincide with the samajwadi party ( sp ) and even the bahujan samaj party ( bsp ) turning their back , even if temporarily , on the muslims who have served them so well electorally ? were these political miscalculations ? or did an already - rising tide of hindutva put them on the back - foot ?\npolitics , after all , is more often about drawing on existing social tendencies and enhancing them , rather than creating new tendencies . the hindu right has stolen a march over secular forces in identifying the social currents that could be potentially receptive to hindutva and have repackaged hindutva accordingly . could these currents have been given non - sectarian , democratic directions ?\nas the secular camp basked in the glory of defeating the bjp during the days of united progressive alliance \u2013 i & ii , the rashtriya swayamsevak sangh quietly expanded its operations to new social and cultural terrains all over the country . it has , over the last decade , seemingly done enough to produce hindutva as an identity that is flexible yet stable ; suited to fulfil a diverse set of cultural roles . it can , at one and the same time , provide an identity to a socially uprooted and globally mobile work - force , rally the unemployed rural youth for corporate - championed industrialization , hold out the promise of social recognition for economically upwardly mobile lower castes , and reinvigorate the missionary zeal of the hindu fundamentalist . what were the currents in muzaffarnagar that lent themselves so readily to hindutva ?\nstriking an affirmative note , muzaffarnagar baaqi hai implicitly suggests possible antidotes to sectarian politics instead of limiting itself to an expose . but in this case too , some questions linger . the film laments the way the class unity of the peasants has been fractured by divisions along religious lines , and in turn posits class unity and humanist ideals as potential unifiers . is religious faith \u2013 that inseparable element of life in south asia \u2013 then necessarily divisive ? do the vast traditions that pass by the name of \u201creligion\u201d have no democratic potential whatsoever ? is there nothing that can be mobilized from within them to counter hindutva ? the paltry presence of secular forces within the domain of faith gives the communal forces a free hand to convert faith into sectarian ideology . unless we integrate questions such as these into our anatomy of communalism , the deep - rooted causes of the massive communal polarization of our times will probably not come to the fore . neither will the roads towards democratic futures .\nfor the past one month various images related to the protest screenings of the documentary film \u2018 muzzafarnagar baaqi hai \u2019 by nakul singh sawhney are being circulated on facebook after the screening of the film was interrupted by members of the akhil bhartiya vidyarthi parishad ( abvp ) at kirorimal college ( kmc ) in delhi university . some of the images floated on my \u2018newsfeed\u2019 as well but i didn\u2019t know what to like and share in these images . i began to ask myself ; what do i like here ? or to be more precise what would my liking the image signify ? would it seem that i like the event that took place in muzzafarnagar or would it present me as liking the event that took place in kirorimal college ? do i like the fact that the image expresses concern or symbolizes the resistance against what happened in kmc ? it took me time to like or share the images and in the next few pages i have tried to communicate the way through which i got there .\none functionality that i don\u2019t like on facebook is that the timeline and the newsfeed is delimited or restricted by the size and borders of the screen , in fact it\u2019s a problem of \u2018virtual reality\u2019 in general ; whatever we view and read is carried out within a frame . the problem stares right into my face on facebook as i scroll down on my for moments of virtual life that i might have missed but most often the internet connection is too bad and it takes too much time to load . however , even when the connection is better , the virtual life or the timeline is not available to us all at once . virtual life in this way is mimetic of actual life , the only difference being that in virtual life i can scroll down for \u2018old stories\u2019 and scroll up for \u201cnew stories\u201d but in actual life though we reflect back upon things and plan ahead as well , there is no readymade availability of old and new stories . the facebook timeline traces our life back to the time we were born . the birth is symbolized through a plain graphic faceless image of a child in nappies . if i consider myself and people of mine and older generations then we can say that , for all good and bad reasons , our birth was not an event which generated \u2018likes\u2019 and \u2018shares\u2019 on facebook but the kids who were born after 4th february , 2004 and most of whom were \u2018shot\u2019 into the virtual life as soon as they \u2018came out\u2019 into the real life by their parents , siblings or relatives who opened facebook accounts for them . it is a common practice to have parents opening accounts or posting pictures of their young ones or opening full pages dedicated to them . thus for these kids the virtual timeline mimics and can be a record of the actual timeline of their life because every event in actual life is marked by a \u2018post\u2019 or an \u2018image\u2019 on the screen . thus , the virtual replicates the actual ; it becomes an identical twin of the life we choose to believe as \u2018actual\u2019 and not the virtual , without even realising that most of the time we are moving as a blue dot on gps , traversing the two dimensional space of a screen , taking a right here and a left there or circulating as an image of ourselves or our activities on facebook , switching between screens , \u2018liked\u2019 here and \u2018shared\u2019 there or not being viewed at all because the \u2018timeline\u2019 is delimited by the frame for the screen .\nthe question that emerges then is ; how does this delimitation affect our virtual life , which is most often the life we live . according to data , if facebook were a nation it would be the third largest in the world . it reflects the extent of the virtual life . however , more than being a problem of the frame and the consequent delimitation , the problem is of the speed at which the timeline is filled with posts or the speed with which circulation of images happens in the virtual world . these speeds are too huge and so is the corresponding flow of stories , then what is left for us to \u2018like\u2019 , \u2018share\u2019 , \u2018comment\u2019 or act upon in general is what we see right in front of the eyes that which grabs and somehow holds our attention , that which has voyeuristic potential .\ni have been paying close attention to my \u2018timeline\u2019 for quite some time now particularly in the time post bjp\u2019s victory in the general election and have been , called a \u2018facebook activist\u2019 at times , so are my other friends who share posts which are critical or informative of the state and society in its oppressive and coercive avatars . i spent time thinking about it and realized that the discourse which builds around the statement i . e . \u201cfacebook activism\u201d misses or rather highlights some very important points . first of all , the division between \u2018user\u2019 and the \u2018activist\u2019 here doesn\u2019t stand when every \u2018like\u2019 and \u2018share\u2019 is telling of the person that you are or the way you present your \u2018self\u2019 in the virtual world . infact , according to a study the \u201clikes\u201d on facebook can predict personal attributes such as \u201cpolitical leaning , age , gender and sexual orientation\u201d ( ehrenberg 2013 ) . in this light \u201csocial networking sites provide different possibilities for both revelation and concealment of aspects of personhood and social reality\u201d ( dalsgaard 2008 ) . so essentially we are all users here who present themselves in different ways on the screen like goffman argues for a \u201cpresentation of self in the everyday life\u201d ( goffman 1959 ) and like we have activists in the world outside the screen we have them here in the virtual world as well . \u2018facebook activist\u2019 becomes then one of the different modes of presenting our being . in other words , while presenting our \u2018self\u2019 in the virtual world we behave quite similar to the way we do in actual life . we maintain and cultivate an image which we hold as ideal .\nthere are times when i am sitting in the library and some interesting thought strikes me , i type it down and put it up on facebook for a simple reason that it\u2019s convenient and there are not many people who would want to listen to me otherwise , so the best way to convey a message and have someone listening to you is through facebook or other social media . some of my friends who are not or choose not to be loud and vocal about their political standpoints are very straightforward or make it clear through their \u2018activity log\u2019 on facebook . thus a facebook account more than a presenting of our self becomes an extension of our actual self . we mould it according to our needs and \u2018usage\u2019 which is reflected in the stuff we share . someone may choose to share or like a photo of a god for fear of some warning about bad luck and disease that may befall if it is not shared or liked and someone may share articles and news expressing concern about a social issue or the sad political scenario . the range is indeed baffling like it is in actual life .\ni keep sharing news pieces and articles related to state sponsored violence in kashmir or anywhere else and i noticed that there are people who \u2018like\u2019 these posts , similarly one can see people even liking gory images of violence e . g . the recent image of the muslim man who was stripped naked in mangalore . most of the time i try to look for people who have liked the image and if i know that person then i rest assured that what is being liked is not the image but perhaps a \u2018concern\u2019 for something which affects that person . but if i don\u2019t know the person then it\u2019s quite confusing sometimes . we like an image of violence on facebook whereas the same image generates repulsion in actual life e . g . the image of the man with folded hands and tears in his eyes during the gujarat riots shakes and stirs us up and infact has a destabilizing effect but if the same picture is put up on facebook it will generate likes and shares . this is telling of the behavioral changes that a technological object , facebook in this case , can produce or create . firmly supported by an \u2018economy of likes\u2019 , where images are circulated at high speeds the violent image gets normalized and becomes one more among the many that are already there .\nin my opinion what facebook along with the images that are circulated does is that alongwith \u2018cathexis\u2019 , where one invests energy and emotion into an object , it also triggers a process of \u2018de - cathexis\u2019 where that energy and emotion is lost in the flow images which momentarily stare at you through the screen and then disappear into the unknown under the borders of the screen . in other words the banality of violence as it exists in actual life is also reproduced in the virtual through the circulation of images .\nin this light the recent images of the \u201cprotest screenings of the movie muzaffarnagar baaqi hai \u201d proved to be very innovative as they gave a way which circumscribed the logic behind liking images on facebook to a certain extent and infact made an attempt to escape the schema . the images of the protest screenings were not out of the usual or full of awe , these simply showed people sitting and watching the movie on a screen . it is simply image of an event where moving images are displayed on a screen . but it attains immense symbolic value and produces a series of likes and shares on facebook because it expresses concern about the event at kirorimal college . it becomes a signifier of protest and rallies people around it . it sets itself apart from so many other images because here the image in itself becomes a mark of protest and holds testimony to the fact that freedom of speech was violated in the event in kmc and also claims back that freedom . so a like on this image can\u2019t be confusing , here you are indeed \u2018liking\u2019 the event , unlike my kashmir news stories .\nthus , both the event at kmc and the multiple private screenings afterwards are reproduced and relived on screen as well . the image can\u2019t escape a fleeting life because the screen is delimited and scrolling down is a task but because of the inherent symbolic value of the image it need not be a particular image that has to be found by scrolling down , with every screening in actual life there is an image up on facebook which repeats the same message . thus the image lives and sustains by repetition and not by a voyeuristic logic of facebook . but what is missed , if not lost in this series of repetitions is the \u2018event\u2019 i . e . \u2018muzzafarnagar\u2019 itself . it lives as a remnant symbolized by the distant screen in the image , the screen which holds testimony to the event . it continues to be \u201cbaaqi\u201d in a chain of circulation of images where the screen which is its signifier slides under the signifier of the event that took place in kmc . perhaps we also need to realize that it is time to shift focus from the event to the event because facebook or social media might have made conveying a message easier but as far as conveying the meaning is concerned that has been complicated further .\ndalsgaard , steffen . \u201cthe presentation of self in virtual life and its role

film is completely fresh and new . however , when going to the real hero of the film , the story , there is the rehash of the same bollywood storyline . an extremely different setting does not give an excuse to use the same conflicts that we have seen over and over again ( boy meets girl , dad against their union , etc . ) . john ' s character was different and rather self - centered . songs were

) , taste of cherry \u2019s strongest poems introduce candito as something rare : a writer brave enough to confront what\u2019s emotionally terrifying and true . writing from her gut , candito strives \u201cin bright , carnal letters\u201d to prove that even in \u201clast happiness\u201d\u2014\u201cbrief , brutal\u201d\u2014there is a degree of happiness still . \u201d\nthe tongues of most mammals hold taste receptors\u2014proteins on the cellular surface that bind to an incoming substance , activating the cell ' s internal workings that lead to a signal being sent to the brain . humans enjoy five kinds of taste buds ( possibly six ) : sour , bitter , salty , umami ( or meatiness ) and sweet ( as well as possibly fat ) . the sweet receptor is actually made up of two coupled proteins generated by two separate genes : known as tas1r2 and tas1r3 .\nwhere to begin with abbas kiarostami ' s taste of cherry - maybe i should eat a mulberry ? perhaps go walk outside and stand in the sun ? take in all that nature has to offer ? see all the young children happily playing ? or generally stated : enjoy life in all it ' s simplicities and bare essentials . no matter our place in this world , we all have our problems to sort out .\ntaste of cherry\u2019s resolution is a startling one ; kiarostami has had to defend its seeming illogic and eeriness in several interviews . he usually does so with another shrug :\ni did think this was a really big risk , but it was a risk worth taking . even when i hear people arguing about the ending of the film , i like it because it means the movie hasn\u2019t ended . . . that the film has a life in their minds .\nwith more than 40 films to his credit , most filmed in iran , kiarostami is best known for his so - called koker trilogy from \u201987 to \u201994 ( where is the friend\u2019s home ? , life , and nothing more\u2026 , and through the olive trees ) , 1990\u2019s close - up , 1999\u2019s the wind will carry us and taste of cherry , the 1997 film that won the palme d\u2019or at that year\u2019s cannes film festival .\nnjss members welcomed our 2013 cherry blossom princess , hannah rimar , and the other state princesses at the annual cherry blossom congressional reception on april 10 and the taste of the states dinner at fort myer , va on april 11 . at the congressional reception in the cannon house office building , our princess , hannah rimar of califon , nj , was introduced and escorted by lautenberg chief of staff dan katz . hannah is a staff assistant for the senator . also present were officials from nj - based pharmaceutical company otsuka , the top sponsor of the ncss ' s national cherry blossom princess program . these included molly ryan , tami carten and chad ozbecki . also in attendance was njss vice president steve oriol . the next night , at the taste of the states event at fort myer , guests enjoyed food and beverages from every region of the united states . thank you campbell soup company and your pepperidge farm division for donating the gourmet ecce panis rolls , made in east brunswick , nj . they were a big hit ! at our new jersey table , we had a display honoring the garden state as a center of agriculture . we reminded guests that the jersey shore is open for business this summer and that new jersey is a center of us - based manufacturing . in addition to campbell soup and otsuka , thanks also go to daiichi - sankyo , panasonic and prudential for supporting us and ensuring that new jersey could participate in this event and the cherry blossom festival in general .\nis it a cake ? is it a pie ? no matter ! it ' s wonderfully sweet and brings the taste of summer directly to your plate . try the recipe using other fruits , depending on what ' s in season . enjoy !\na tip for cannes competition watchers is that while the big names are usually favourites for the palme , the unmissable films often turn out to be the outsiders , the ones that many critics use as an excuse to bunk off and catch up on their sleep . two years ago , that was exactly what happened when the competition jury gave the palme d ' or jointly to imamura ' s the eel and kiarostami ' s a taste of cherry .\npeople seem to enjoy this movie to the extent that they fill in the long , slow shots with thoughts of their own . i suppose that this is a fitting response to taste of cherry , a languidly paced meditation on the unbridgeable distances between people . i think kiarostami takes boredom as a narrative strategy about as far as it can be taken , however , and although i liked the movie , it ' s an exhausting experience and not one i would recommend to most people .\nbagheri talks of how he had felt trapped and depressed but was able to recognize the beauty of life and the fulfillment of living for others . in bagheri\u2019s case , it was his wife , children and the taste of a ripe cherry that brought him back . he was able to appreciate the beauty of life and it gave him a desire to teach that recognition to others . he shows badii a world filled with life . he sings about cherries and the glories of nature , a nature that is foreign to the world badii has been driving through all day . bagheri\u2019s words and the world he introduces begin to affect badii .\njohn & neville , those are both fascinating readings of the film ; the quote from kiarostami re : the ending is great . ( although : taste of kiarostami ? really ? ) neville , good call on the use of the windows - - i wonder if i would have noticed that if i saw the film again now .\nthe brand represented the first flavored extension of the company ' s flagship trademark , and reception was strong . according to bottlers in test markets at the time , acceptance of the new product by both consumers and the trade was\nphenomenal .\nbuilding on that initial energy , the coca -

cola bottler .\na majority of a taste of cherry takes place in mr . badii\u2019s car , with the camera either focused on the driver or his passenger . the camera is locked ; it does not move . the world outside blurs by . sheets of glass sit between the characters and the exterior creating the impression of two linked but separate worlds . to mr . baddi , there is a danger in the outside world and his car acts as a protective bubble of glass and metal . the occasional shot from the hood of the car shows the protagonist through the windshield , boxed in by the steel frame of his vehicle . at times the sun reflects off the glass , obscuring the occupants from view . the film expresses badii in the moment , blind to others\u2019 points of view and trapped inside his own depression .\nany moral to the story is so tacit as to be almost unnoticeable . if there are any ' lessons ' to be learned they are almost immediately subverted . if mr . badii is kiarostami\u2019s alter ego , if the life he finds in film , the sense of hope , the taste of cherry , has been torn from him , buried by the oppressive government , then he too is trapped . each carefully planned frame of the movie resonates the sense of weariness , separation and entrapment that we have all experienced . there is an escape , a world beyond , but we must be willing to change our plans and take the road less traveled .\nin this documentary , kiarostami asks a number of students about their school homework . the answers of some children shows the darker side of this method of education .\nthe sensation of being trapped pervades abbas kiarostami\u2019s a taste of cherry ( 1997 ) . the film tells the story of a mr . badii ( homayon ershadi ) and his quest to commit suicide . without giving any background to his character , the film illustrates badii as a man trapped in a society that is continually closing in around him . the film\u2019s carefully controlled style conveys how an orthodox iranian society can trap its protagonist , director , and audience . claustrophobic imagery of repetition and burial permeates every sequence . the choice of shots , framing , production locations and colors allows the audience to experience badii\u2019s personal entrapment , even if we do not know his reasons for suicide . in acknowledging the burden of this society , kiarostami also offers an inkling of hope , a sense that despite life\u2019s trials there ' s a remarkable sense of beauty in nature and humanity .\nit is clear that kiarostami has , in fact , chosen his subjects carefully . taste of cherry is the story of man ,\nmr . badii ,\nwho , in the face of personal and social pressures , is contemplating , indeed planning , an elaborate suicide . the film is his quest for an accomplice . through the arid , dusty hills of tehran , at a strange , allegorical construction site , he searches for a partner in this act of supreme egoism , his own self - destruction . a soldier , turks , afghans , prisoners , a seminary student , a museum employee , all are enlisted . but one by one , those he approaches turn him down . religious scruples , fear , and optimism deny him a confederate .\nas a painless alternative to traditional ear piercing , why not hang a pair of fresh cherries from your ear ? no ? well luckily , this sweet fruit tastes as wonderful as it looks . after you buy your next batch of cherries - or pick them from a tree ! - why not try making this classic french dessert : cherry clafoutis .\nit has been a struggle , but abbas kiarostami has found a way , even under the eyes of the iranian regime , to say exactly what he wants to say . that many of his films seem like elaborate , essentially wordless , parables is not coincidental . for all their seeming otherness , believes kiarostami , post - revolutionary iranians are walking a universal path . theirs is the same slow , painful trudge across the forbidding mountains and into an ever - receding middle distance that all modern souls have to make . thus , the journey of taste of cherry is less an iranian one than a human one . and by taking it , we may find commonality with a culture whose ways westerners have yet to come to grips with .\na ray of sunshine in a vale of tears : saluting those we lost in 2016 .\ntcm celebrates the 100th anniversary of a musical legend with three nights of programming devoted to some of leonard bernstein ' s . . . more\nthe successful events held by the tennessee state society ( tss ) are made possible by the generous donations and support from our corporate partners . your corporate membership will help the tss host annual events such as the tennessee inaugural ball , the annual tennessee state society congressional reception , cherry blossom festival reception , taste of memphis and moonshine . there are three levels of partnership : tri -

aged man drives his truck in the outskirts of tehran looking for someone to help him out with a very specific and unusual request . iranian auteur abbas kiarostami \u2018s minimalist philosophical film engulfs the viewer in it\u2019s atmosphere and raises the most simple , yet complex questions about life , death and the human condition . filmed in a series of long takes , well composed and precisely timed . unexpected and memorable ending . won the palme d\u2019or at the 1997 cannes film festival . despite this , the film was met with a polarized critical opinion . most critics praised taste of cherry greatly , calling it a masterpiece , others , however dismissed it as being boring due to the slow editing and minimalist directorial method . it has since been reevaluated and praised more , considered by many to be one of the greatest films of the decade and of all time .\ni agree with kiarostami that there are films that\nnail you to the seat and overwhelm you to the point that you forget everything , but you feel cheated later .\ni think a lot of stylish , visually interesting , narratively dead films are that way ( oldboy , to name a recent example ) . but i also think that the best films , my favorite films , are the ones that nail you to the seat and overwhelm you , but for a purpose . and even a slowly - paced film ( andrei rublev ) can do that . but taste of cherry is more of a rorschach blot than a movie ; what you get from it depends on what you bring to it , more than any other film i ' ve seen .\nthis book is set at a prestigious theater camp , allerdale , and takes place over the course of the summer . our main character , brooklyn , is a mediocre actress at best and much prefers writing musical theatre pieces to singing them , but she feels pressured by her family full of broadway royalty to continue their legacy . as a former theater kid ( and current music student ) who has been to countless summer programs like the one portrayed in look both ways , i thought cherry nailed the setting . at programs like allerdale , there ' s almost always a strange duality : the entire cast of a production bonds and becomes almost like family during the process of putting on a show , but there ' s always a slight undercurrent of competition and jealousy there that can boil into drama at any moment . cherry perfectly portrayed this tension , and she captured the different types of people that you meet at arts programs perfectly in this cast of characters .\nthere ' s no getting around the fact that the movies of abbas kiarostami divide audiences - - in this country , in his native iran , and everywhere else they ' re shown . even in france , where his work has probably been celebrated longer than anywhere else , a couple of his earlier features reportedly flopped , though subsequent ones gained a passionate following - - a pattern that resembles my own mixed reaction when i first encountered his work about five years ago at the toronto film festival . i can no longer recall which film of his i saw first , but one that i now regard as profound and mysterious ,\nwhere is my friend ' s house ?\n, initially struck me as bland and pedestrian , a comedy about schoolchildren that seemed to be aiming for the charm of minor truffaut - - cute at best . and it wasn ' t until a few days after i saw\nlife and nothing more\nthat the full richness of it began to settle in . lately i ' ve come to realize that what i regard as the most wondrous thing to happen in cinema in many years , kiarostami ' s movies , strikes a few friends and colleagues as boring and empty , even predictable - - enough of them to make me realize that recognition of kiarostami ' s greatness can ' t be taken for granted , even though his\ntaste of cherry\nshared the palme d ' or at cannes last year . and some colleagues who share my reverence for\ntaste of cherry\npart company with me over its startling final sequence - - which they see as a blemish on an otherwise masterful work and i see as the element that makes it a masterpiece .\ntaste of cherry starts slow , with a man driving around in circles , stopping every now and then to talk to people on the street . after the title card , he gives a lift to a young soldier walking back to his barracks . they talk . badii , the driver , has a job offer . the soldier insists he needs to be back before six o\u2019clock . at the twenty - three minute mark , the film\u2019s story finally shifts into focus : badii is going to kill himself , and he wants the soldier to bury him . this opening feels strangely protracted , and it will take longer still for the film\u2019s themes to cohere . the most fascinating and frustrating elements of abbas kiarostami\u2019s film are its elusiveness .\nwhat ' s become clear over the years is this : people love cherry coke . from its start , the brand grew organically . it found an early following and continues to attract both youthful consumers and those who are old enough to remember fondly the old - fashioned soda fountain favorite for 30 years .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nupdated director martin scorsese released this statement on the death of abbas kiarostami : \u201ci was deeply shocked and saddened when i heard the news of abbas kiarostami\u2019s death . he was one of those rare artists with a special knowledge of the world , put into words by the great jean renoir : \u2018reality is always magic . \u2019 for me , that statement sums up kiarostami\u2019s extraordinary body of work . some refer to his pictures as \u2018minimal\u2019 or \u2018minimalist , \u2019 but it\u2019s actually the opposite : every scene in taste of cherry or where is the friend\u2019s house ? is overflowing with beauty and surprise , patiently and exquisitely captured . i got to know abbas over the last 10 or 15 years . he was a very special human being : quiet , elegant , modest , articulate , and quite observant \u2013 i don\u2019t think he missed anything . our paths crossed too seldom , and i was always glad when they did . he was a true gentleman , and , truly , one of our great artists . \u201d\nso glad i found your blog . i was searching for an explanation of the end of this film , taste of cherry , and you gave me a nice one . actually , i had to watch this movie over two nights because it was just too stressful for me . i did not find it boring at all , but was on the edge of my seat and my stomach was tied up in knots . i have done a lot of hitchhiking and come upon curious drivers like him . he gave me the creeps . not knowing what he was all about , he could have been on the prowl for sex with strangers , or trying to kill someone randomly . it was too creepy to watch all in one night . one question , do iranians talk to each other so easily , and at such length ? or is this a peculiarity of our hero ? watching criterion movies is like reading a book published by penguin , you just know it ' s gotta be good .\nbrand and his colleague xia li first discovered the pseudogene after decades of anecdotal evidencesuch as cats showing no preference between sweetened and regular water , unlike other animals\u2014testifying to their indifference to the sweet stuff . of course , there are also plenty of anecdotal accounts pointing in the other direction : cats that eat ice cream , relish cotton candy , chase marshmallows .\nmaybe some cats can use their [ tas1r3 receptor ] to taste high concentrations of sugar ,\nbrand says .\nit ' s a very rare thing but we don ' t know yet .\nif we ' re to feel sympathy for badhi , wouldn ' t it help to know more about him ? to know , in fact , anything at all about him ? what purpose does it serve to suggest at first he may be a homosexual ? ( not what purpose for the audience - - what purpose for badhi himself ? surely he must be aware his intentions are being misinterpreted . ) and why must we see kiarostami ' s camera crew - - a tiresome distancing strategy to remind us we are seeing a movie ? if there is one thing\ntaste of cherry\ndoes not need , it is such a reminder : the film is such a lifeless drone that we experience it only as a movie .\nyasha - yasha is the young manservant who has been traveling with ranevsky ever since she left for france . he is always complaining about how uncivilized russia is when compared to france , exploits dunyasha ' s love for him for physical pleasure , and openly tells firs that he is so old he should die . most of the characters besides ranevsky regard him as repulsive and obnoxious . he has a strong taste for acrid - smelling cigars .\nwhat kind of queerbaiting bullshit was i just tricked into reading ? i ' ll start with the positives . the writing was okay . i thought alison cherry really captured the feeling of being involved in theatre ; it ' s a bubble where competitiveness and affection exist alongside one another in weird harmony , and everything that happens , big or small , feels magnified or more important then it would otherwise . i enjoyed reading that and i enjoyed brooklyn discovering her passion for songwriting and storytelli\n\u201cin kara candito\u2019s remarkable first collection , we feel in the presence of a sure , authoritative voice , an intelligence and sensibility capable of registering the complexities of the sensual life . \u201d\nroger ebert became film critic of the chicago sun - times in 1967 . he is the only film critic with a star on hollywood walk of fame and was named honorary life member of the directors ' guild of america . he won the lifetime achievement award of the screenwriters ' guild , and honorary degrees from the american film institute and the university of colorado at boulder .\nsugar and spice and everything nice hold no interest for a cat . our feline friends are only interested in one thing : meat ( except for saving up the energy to catch it by napping , or a round of restorative petting ) this is not just because inside every domestic tabby lurks a killer just waiting to catch a bird or torture a mouse , it is also because cats lack the ability to taste sweetness , unlike every other mammal examined to date .\nthe french films of marker , goddard and truffault encapsulate a sense of alienation and entrapment with regards to social norms . the works of herzog , fassbinder and von trotta in germany look at a culture that , in the mistreatment of outsiders , is in danger of repeating its terrible past . decades later , the directors of the iranian new wave would examine a post - revolutionary culture where freedoms have been limited for a large portion of the population .\nscientific american is part of springer nature , which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications ( many of them can be found at urltoken ) . scientific american maintains a strict policy of editorial independence in reporting developments in science to our readers .\nin tribute to the late , legendary iranian director abbas kiarostami , siff presents the distinctive palme d ' or - winning film taste of cherry on its 20th anniversary . mr . badii , a middle - aged man in tehran , is intent on killing himself and seeks someone to bury him after his demise . in this quest , he drives around the city , meeting with numerous candidates . the first is a shy , young kurdish soldier who refuses to do the job and flees from badii ' s car in alarm . his second recruit is an afghani seminarian , who also declines because he has religious objections to suicide . the third is an azeri taxidermist ; he is willing to help badii because he needs the money to care for a sick child . but as their conversation continues , the azeri begins to try to talk him out of his plans . the film , considered by many to be kiarostami\u2019s masterwork , is narratively simple and emotionally rich\u2014the distillation of a philosophical inquiry into those things that make life worth living , including , for one of the great directors of our time , the cinematic form itself .\ngetting a major film made in fundamentalist iran requires an appropriately theological attitude : the work has to be parochial enough to satisfy the mullahs who monitor state culture at a dozen different points , yet it must also be a work of widespread and universal meaning if the film is to have international success . abbas kiarostami has negotiated this narrow path with extraordinary success . his taste of cherry ( winner of the palme d\u2019or , cannes film festival , 1997 ) had to survive a tortuous three - level censorship process . first , cast , crew , and script had to pass scrutiny for the film to receive a production permit . then , the finished film had to be screened for the purity of islamic cultural ideals , in order to receive a screening permit . and finally , state authorities had to decide whether the film would receive status as a \u2018quality\u2019 film , which would allow it to be advertised on the state - owned television network and get the best playing times at the nation\u2019s most prestigious theaters . throughout the process , the representation of women and of sexual desire is strictly regulated . the 1979 revolution was hard on the iranian film industry in other ways , including the wave of arson that destroyed hundreds of theaters in the name of anti - western purification . thousands of films which had been previously shown in the country were reevaluated by state censors , and only a few hundred survived to be certified for screening again , a deep blow to the nation\u2019s film culture .\nthe vast majority of the movie is one of the two shots above , or a wide shot of the range rover winding through the hills , as badii and his passengers converse about suicide . kiarostami does have an eye for interestingly framed shots , like this one , of workers converging on badii ' s car to push it out of a ditch :\nthis might be my favorite alison cherry book yet .

searching of all of the character ' s involved , and in so doing , finding some more meaning to the idea of what life is all about . from the beginning to the end , kiarostami gives us a complex script of characters that we come into contact with , and as we learn about each one , we learn more about the idea of life . what makes the film very interesting for a western viewer is that i find closer to kiarostami ' s iran after each of his films that i watch , and become more informed to it . we learn intimate details about the lives of several iranians . throughout the film i found that , although like many of his films it was quite slow - paced , it contained the extraordinarily rich dialog that is expected of a kiarostami film . his films advance through their rich dialog while using the dusty iranian landscape as their backdrop . i found a lot of the cinematography to be terrific , viewing the city from a distance and looking into the dusty foot - hills on the outskirts of tehran . it is more than poetic to see a man at the end of his rope searching through the dust and faces of tehran ' s poor laborers for answers about life and death . in many ways , the film is a large metaphor for the human state of affairs . the film culminates very well , and we all eventually find our own taste of cherry in the film . i always feel as if kiarostami ' s films are a very philosophical experience , and are quite personal . in this sense , kiarostami ' s films are amongst the best that i have seen . however , they are undoubtedly slower paced than other films , and they require the viewer to detach himself from any western stereotypes that he has about film . this would not be a good film for somebody expecting action or a typical western film , but rather , this would be a film that i would recommend only to those who are in the mood for an insightful , philosophical film that shows an alternative view of life . overall , it was an emotionally powerful film that will stick out in my memory as all kiarostami films do ."]}

\u201d she shouts at a nun who insists she won\u2019t violate her vows of celibacy . another aunt drags a screaming girl to the dinner table after torturing her bloodied feet , while aunt lydia chastises the girl for\ndefiling\nherself . with the women doing the dirty work , the men can afford to be generous . compared to the chilly serena , robert duvall\u2019s commander is half benevolence , half menace , alternately inviting kate to his study for strawberries and scrabble , and then violently kissing her as she writhes in protest .\nbesides this historical acuity , the film gives us a fascinating pair of matched archetypes in its main characters , which are realized in two exquisite performances . as the aspiring nun who\u2019s suddenly tossed into the ugliness of the world , newcomer agata trzebokowska proves a poised icon of luminous quietude and awakened curiosity , discovering herself as she painfully uncovers her past . and as the embittered , nihilistic \u201cred wanda , \u201d a woman driven both by the horrors inflicted on her and those she\u2019s inflicted on others , veteran polish actress agneta kulesza creates the astonishing impression that some of history\u2019s most wrenching conflicts are being played out in a single human soul . like much about\nida ,\nthese actresses\u2019 work not only pays homage to masterpieces of the past but revivifies current cinema in doing so .\ndiderot\u2019s novel la religieuse started life as a series of joke letters to a friend , purporting to be from a nun wishing to leave her convent . nicloux\u2019s classily conceived film , too , is hard to take seriously at times . the opening scene is ushered in by atmospheric organ music . in a softly candlelit bed a young woman lies sleeping , surrounded by sumptuous red drapery , while an old man watches her and slowly lifts a hand to stroke her hair and outside we hear a carriage approaching . out of context , it could almost be the start of a hammer horror . in fact , it\u2019s the framing device the director uses to introduce the manuscript containing suzanne\u2019s memoir of her suffering , which tells the story that follows .\n\u201cil divo\u201d won the jury prize at cannes , a vindication for mr . sorrentino and his producers , who had met significant resistance in finding financing for the film in italy because of its critical take on mr . andreotti . ( he died in may . )\nonce suzanne escapes the clutches of christine , she\u2019s transferred to another convent headed up by a much friendlier mother superior ( isabelle huppert ) . but if this seems like summer camp compared to before , things are not so simple , and the new mother has some funny ways of having her girls prove their devotion . compared to the rest of the movie , these late scenes are played more for laughs , which bring some pep to the proceedings but also throw the movie off balance . in the least , huppert can now add the role of \u201chorny lesbo nun\u201d to her long and illustrious resume .\nprobably unaware of these sterile polemical reactions to the movie , foreign critics , with a few exceptions , have been from the start much more favuorable , if not outright enthusiastic , as in michael atkinson\u2019s praise for the movie : \u201c the great beauty is one of the greatest films about modern social dissolution\u201d . curiously , though , many cin\u00e9philes and ordinary viewers \u2013 perhaps intimidated by the exuberance of the film and by the complexity of its signifiers \u2013 have eluded the puzzling question of the title\u2019s meaning . carlo verdone has recently advanced that\nthe key change \u2013 modernisation ? nicloux has made to the anti - clerical original is that suzanne is no longer the passive victim of the 18th century novel . she really does have faith , and is deeply and conformingly religious , but her rebellion is to preserve her own individuality and freedom in the face of the authoritarianism of the catholic church and her enforced cloistered life . if the film was not so overblown , you could perhaps have accepted one girl\u2019s story as an allegory of the oppression of women in religion or even state repression . pauline etienne is perfect as an innocent who surprises us with unexpected depths of determination and gradually learns to take some control of her life , yet somehow without ever losing that innocence . unfortunately , the film descends from the potential drama of her initial incarceration in the first convent into the sub - porno absurdities of her lascivious victimisation in the second and the obsessive sexual pursuit and hysteria in the third .\nmarlow - mann a . , \u201ccharacter engagement and alienation in the cinema of paolo sorrentino\u201d , 161 - 174 , in hope , w .

( berlinale . de )\nthe most subtle moment in the film comes in the opening scenes , as kate exits the driver\u2019s seat and lets her husband take the wheel as the two approach the border . it\u2019s a quiet nod at gilead\u2019s oppressive regime that\u2019s soon forgotten as the movie enters the realm of melodrama , lighting scenes in vivid shades of blue and green , and incorporating a moody synthesized score better suited to a 1980s horror film . the moment where offred dispassionately describes taking part in a \u201cceremony\u201d with the commander and his wife\u2014in which he has sex with her while she lies in his wife\u2019s lap\u2014becomes a violent rape scene where kate sobs while shrouded in a red veil . afterwards , kate runs to her room , pulls off her nightgown , and presses her breasts against the window while gasping for air\u2014as witnessed by the household chauffeur , who motions her quickly away , since it\u2019s a deranged move she\u2019d almost certainly be executed for if caught .\nfew recent films can claim a visual approach as striking as that which cinematographers lukasz zal and ryszard lenczewski give\nida .\nfilmed in the unusual , boxy aspect ratio of 1 . 37 : 1 , and most often deployed in static long shots , the film\u2019s images sometimes suggest vermeer lighting with the color taken away , and the compositions manage to seem at once classical and off - handed , with the subjects often located in the screen\u2019s two bottom quadrants . as in bresson , the effect is to draw the viewer\u2019s eye into the beauty of the image while simultaneously maintaining a contemplative distance from the drama .\nnevertheless , the film was panned . \u201cthe movie seems equally angry that women have to have children at all , and that it is hard for them to have children now that men have mucked up the planet with their greedy schemes , \u201d wrote roger ebert . rolling stone \u2019s peter travers described the\nceremony\nas \u201cabout as erotic as a gynecological exam , \u201d and complained that the movie had \u201cnarrowed the focus to [ male chauvinist pigs ] who like to put women in their place . \u201d the film\u2019s vision of the future , entertainment weekly \u2019s owen glieberman wrote , \u201cis so poisonous and mechanical that you have to wonder : is this really what our society is threatening to turn into , or is atwood just exorcising her own fear and loathing ? \u201d\nalthough this is nicloux\u2019s tenth theatrical feature , he\u2019s yet to achieve auteur status in europe , and is known more as a capable director of thrillers ( the key , cette - femme la ) . while nothing in the nun feels inspiring or truly groundbreaking , it\u2019s certainly a well - handled package , and the strong performances are abetted by superb technical contributions , including crisp color photography by bruno dumont regular yves cape and , most notably , a series of gorgeous period costumes by anais romand ( holy motors ) . the habits may not make the monk , but they definitely make these nuns look fabulous .\n\u201cthe great beauty\u201d is not a political film per se , but while other contemporary italian directors have looked to the past or produced more prosaic dramas , mr . sorrentino is one of the few to engage fully with the culture of excess that has come to characterize the italy of mr . berlusconi , prime minister , most recently , until 2011 . ( two notable examples are nanni moretti\u2019s 2006 \u201cil caimano , \u201d about a director unable to make a film about an unnamed media mogul , and matteo garrone\u2019s 2012 \u201creality , \u201d about obsession with reality tv . ) mr . sorrentino\u2019s fresh , timely response is rare even beyond italy , as artists have largely not yet addressed the economic crisis and social shifts that have swept across europe over the past several years .\npawlikoski and lenkiewicz\u2019s scripting proves similarly lapidarian . besides its look ,\nida\nmost recalls the manner of bygone art films in the modernist spareness and thoroughgoing obliqueness of its writing . very little is stated directly ; instead , we glean things from casual remarks and subtle suggestions . somehow , this technique of inference makes the film\u2019s eventual revelations feel both more integral and more powerful .\non a warm late august afternoon , mr . sorrentino , who at 43 has already become one of italy\u2019s most important directors , sat in his high - ceiling study in rome and reflected on what compelled him to make the film . what he wanted to convey , he said , was a general atmosphere .\nthese early sequences , where suzanne\u2019s spirit is caught between true faith and the hypocritical nature of the church , are among the film\u2019s strongest , and nicloux finds some clever visual metaphors to express his character\u2019s submission , most notably in a botched vow - taking ceremony that has her literally buried beneath the cloth . when she eventually does agree to accept the order , she only learns about it after waking up in a haze two days later , as if the whole conversion was some sort of bad trip .\nthe russian film a long and happy life , directed by boris khlebnikov , based on the gary cooper classic high noon , was too bleak in its story of russian farmers in an age of austerity to be an award contender . similarly , an episode in the life of an iron picker marked a low - budget interlude for bosnian director danis tanovic , admirable as a stark docudrama , but probably outside the prize - giving .\nmr . sorrentino\u2019s film , which has been described as a technicolor \u201cla dolce vita\u201d for the berlusconi era , doesn\u2019t confront the question directly . instead , it follows jep on a kaleidoscopic orphic journey on which his fellow travelers include an aging stripper , a struggling playwright , cash - poor aristocrats , a vacuous cardinal and a would - be saint \u2014 set against the photogenic backdrop of rome .\ncomplexly motivated , intriguing female performers helped raise the profile of the films they appeared in and the front - runner at festival midpoint is , by critical consensus , pauline garcia , who is strongly tipped to win best actress kudos for the chilean film gloria . but another contender might be romanian actress luminita gheorghiu as the domineering mother in child\u2019s pose - - not to mention an extremely strong juliette binoche , captured in close - up in bruno dumont \u2019s disturbing camille claudel 1915 .\nmr . sorrentino welcomes the debate . \u201cthe film makes you face questions that might be irritating , \u201d he said . \u201cthere\u2019s a tendency among italians to say : \u2018we\u2019re not part of that , \u2019 \u2018i\u2019m not part of that . \u2019 many people went out of their way to say that they weren\u2019t a part of it , and they were the ones who were most a part of it . \u201d\nan image in a government briefing book helped a state department official see \u201cthe forest for the trees\u201d in the west bank\u2014and then was shared with the president .\n\u201cobviously , it\u2019s not only like that , \u201d he continued . \u201cthere are lots of people who work and do wonderful and commendable things , but there\u2019s still a sense that the nerve centers of the country had fallen asleep on their couches at home . and so i tried to turn that into a film \u2014 that everything had become a bit of a salon . \u201d\nthis french historical drama is a mournful , modern - feeling adaptation of a late eighteenth - century denis diderot novel about a strong - willed teenage aristocrat , suzanne ( pauline etienne ) , forced to become a nun when her family decide to make her someone else\u2019s responsibility . a welcoming mother superior soon becomes a distant memory when the sadistic christine ( louise bourgoin ) takes charge of the convent and institutes a campaign of physical and mental torture against her wilful charge . when suzanne is moved to another institution run by the lusty and maybe even demented saint - eutrope ( isabelle huppert ) , she\u2019s faced with different problems . all the while , she tries to free herself by writing letters to the outside world .\n\u201cthe conjuring 2 , \u201d in which patrick wilson and vera farmiga play husband - and - wife paranormal investigators , debuted to $ 40 . 4 million domestically last june on a $ 40 million budget . worldwide , its total has come to $ 320 . 3 million . the first \u201cconjuring\u201d film had a production budget of $ 20 million and earned $ 318 million worldwide .\nif the film remains compelling up to this point , it\u2019s perhaps less for the slick and straightforward storytelling than for etienne\u2019s engrossing performance . the belgian actress has excelled in some minor roles to date , including in joachim lafosse \u2019s private lessons , but this is the first time she\u2019s been given the chance to really display her chops , and she movingly portrays suzanne\u2019s combination of dignified virtue and subtle beauty , not to mention her defiant , bordering - on - hostile attitude and sly sense of humor .\nmoreover , the same split of high or standard speech and vernacular reflects the multiple dichotomies informing the film : the music ( church music and techno or pop music ) , the characters ( cultured and ignorant , young and old , upper - class and lower - class ) , interior design ( the d\u00e9cor of the aristocratic palaces and the contemporary furniture of the rich and trendy ) , art ( renaissance paintings and roman statues vs . performance art and action - painting ) , camerawork ( the sweeping tracking and panning shots interspersed with jittery montage sequences ) . one is tempted to read the juxtaposition of these contrasting images and sounds as a technique that emphasizes \u2013 not so subtly \u2013 the beauty of all that is \u201cold\u201d , and casts a negative light , or even ridicule , on all that is \u201cnew\u201d , seemingly purporting a conservative authorial discourse ( one of the recurring critiques directed at sorrentino\u2019s cinema in italy ) . in fact , the contiguity of opposites , with its implicit openness , its moral and aesthetic challenges , is what makes the film a powerful , emotionally and intellectually stimulating cinematic experience . it does not want to provide definite answers or role models , and cannot be labelled \u201cpolitical\u201d in the revived tradition of a specific socially - committed genre , but it strikes at the heart of a culture that needs to look at itself in the mirror as the necessary premise for change .\nthe feature film debut of director leigh janiak didn ' t make a ton of money , but it ' s secretly a strong , spooky horror movie about the people you think you know best . a recently married couple head out to a cabin in a small town for their honeymoon . then the evil stuff starts happening , as husband paul discovers wife bea wandering and disoriented in the woods . things go from bad to worse as bea becomes more distant and weirder .\nobserve . there is not a sad character who moves us to compassion . for everyone , everything is going fine , even if it is going terribly . everyone is full of energy in managing to survive , even if burdened by death and insensitivity . i have never seen a film in which all the characters are so full of the joy of being . even the sorrowful events , the tragedies , take shape as phenomena charged with vitality , like spectacles . ( 4 )\nin many ways , the movie adaptation was ill - fated from the start , even with the wide acclaim the book had received . in 1986 , atwood sold the rights to the producer daniel wilson , partly because wilson had tapped pinter and the director karel reisz to lead the project . the playwright had previously worked with reisz on the french lieutenant\u2019s woman , which starred meryl streep as a strong - willed woman condemned as promiscuous by a repressive society , and was nominated for five academy awards . but despite the talent attached and the success of pinter and reisz\u2019s previous collaboration , no studio wanted to touch it . \u201cduring the next two and a half years , wilson would take the pinter script to every studio in hollywood , encountering a wall of ignorance , hostility , and indifference , \u201d writes the canadian journalist sheldon teitelbaum . movie executives declined to back the project , stating \u201cthat a film for and about women \u2026 would be lucky if it made it to video . \u201d\ni love matt damon . i love sci - fi . not sure i like them together , however . didn ' t hate this , but i sure wouldn ' t recommend it . not all his fault , though . there were a couple people in this that really brought down the film with their sad acting . . . jodie foster , included .\nthe film opens at the janiculum , a terraced - square overlooking the city , where a japanese tourist is taking a picture , gets suddenly overwhelmed by the spectacular sight , and dies from a heart attack . is the filmmaker making fun of the compulsive recording of visual memories , of the stendhal syndrome that plunges sensitive tourists into a delusional , though temporary state , or is his a tragically funny way to set the tone of the movie ? this perplexing opening shot smoothly transitions to one inside the fountain of acqua paola nearby , where a female choir is singing heavenly church music . then a cut abruptly terminates the quiet and beautiful symmetry of the scene , as we are now in the midst of a very loud , very smashed , very drunk party . as the director explains , \u201ci wanted to emphasize the sense of emptiness to which we are irremediably attracted . parties are the epitome of this void , they\u2019re beautiful but senseless\u201d ( 1 ) . the pulsating techno music is deafening , almost a cruel opposite to the inspiring music of the female singers . jep is finally introduced , apparently enjoying himself , but with a funny smirk on his face ( \u201ci didn\u2019t just want to take part in the parties , i wanted to have the power to ruin them\u201d , he will shortly tell the audience ) . some of his closest friends are also revealed through quick , lugubrious brushes , as the tilts and whirling shots are chopped by the frantic editing that the music\u2019s beat dictates .\nshould you find yourself wanting your faith in humanity buoyed up a little , may i direct you to gardening with soul , a lovely , gentle study of a year in the life of sister loyola , the 90 - year - old chief gardener of wellington ' s home of compassion . you will not encounter a more energetic person on film this year : a generational icon of pragmatic , cheerful , can - do kiwi virtues .\nin a majestic convent , an orphaned young woman\u2014a novice named anna ( agata trzebuchowska ) \u2014is ordered by her mother superior to visit her aunt in lodz before she takes orders . a beautiful eighteen - year - old with a broad slavic face , a composed , devotional manner , and a tantalizing dimple , the girl has never left the convent before and knows nothing of her family . in lodz , wearing her habit , anna enters the apartment of a forty - five - ish woman , who is puffing on a cigarette and waiting for the guy she picked up the night before to leave . a minor state judge and communist party member , wanda gruz ( agata kulesza ) tells her niece that her real name is ida lebenstein , and that she\u2019s jewish\u2014a \u201cjewish nun , \u201d she says . abrupt and dismissive , wanda enjoys attacking the girl\u2019s ignorance . but wanda has mysteries of her own and scores to settle : ida\u2019s mother was her beloved sister . the two agree to go to the village in which the parents were hidden by christians and then betrayed\u2014the village where wanda grew up .\nbetween 1939 and 1945 , poland lost a fifth of its population , including three million jews . in the two years after the war , communists took over the government under the eyes of the red army and the soviet secret police , the n . k . v . d . many poles who were prominent in resisting the nazis were accused of preposterous crimes ; the independent - minded were shot or hanged . in the movie , none of this is stated , but all of it is built , so to speak , into the atmosphere : the country feels dead , the population sparse , the mood of ordinary conversations constrained by the sure knowledge that many who survived have committed acts of betrayal or indulged willful ignorance .\nthe adaptation and the remake : from john m . stahl\u2019s when tomorrow comes to douglas sirk\u2019s interlude\nthis revelation triggers a journey in which aunt and niece drive back to the village of anna\u2019s parents in an effort to discover how they died and where they were buried . although this quest is central to the narrative ,\nida\nis anything but plot - driven . it\u2019s a film of moments , observations and moods , with a lyrical unfolding that recalls such atmospheric monochrome road movies as wim wenders \u2019\nkings of the road .\nand when the two voyagers pick up a hitchhiking tenor saxophonist ( dawid ogrodnik ) and end up watching his gigs , the music of john coltrane and similar artists adds an engrossing aural dimension to the odyssey .\nand what about the main characters ?

by making every shot as definitive as an icon . \u201ci\u2019m not emotionally excited by the power of cinema\u2019s tricks anymore , \u201d pawlikowski has said . the director and his fledgling cinematographer , lukasz zal , shot the movie in hard - focus black and white ; they have produced images so distinct and powerful that they sharpen our senses . \u201cida\u201d might be called static were it not for the currents of emotion from shot to shot , which electrify the women\u2019s relation to each other throughout . clearing away clutter , pawlikowski almost never moves the camera ; many of the scenes are just long - lasting shots , fed by a single light source that often puts the faces in partial shadow ( what we understand of these two women will always be limited ) . sometimes the figures are positioned at the bottom of the frame , with enormous gray polish skies above them , as if the entire burden of a cursed country weighed on its people . both beautiful and oppressive , the bleakness of the landscape in winter suggests something uncanny in the air , as if we were watching a horror film without ghouls .\nwhere reisz was dedicated to realism , schlondorff was a pioneer of the new german cinema movement who was eager to break into hollywood . the handmaid\u2019s tale as he interpreted it was a thriller\u2014a sexually charged and vivid drama without the nuance or emotional depth of the source material . without her interior monologue ( richardson later complained that pinter \u201chas something specific against voiceovers\u201d ) , offred becomes considerably more enigmatic and less human , even though the movie , unlike the book , identifies her birth name as kate . although the book is told entirely from offred\u2019s perspective , the film barely gives her more lines than other characters . initially , after her husband is shot at the border and her daughter is taken as the family tries to flee from the repressive republic of gilead , kate seems oddly blank , staring vaguely out a window as she watches infertile women get loaded into a truck labeled \u201clivestock . \u201d there\u2019s little sense , as is made explicit in the book , that she\u2019s being drugged so that she doesn\u2019t erupt in grief and rage at the loss of her child .\nthe\nsaw\nmovies are best known for being about people getting murdered gruesomely . while there is a fair amount dismemberment , the better part of the series is how each of the movies continually expands the lore and each one captures the powerful dread of being caught in a deadly trap with no way out .\nin 1988 , the actress sigourney weaver\u2014a huge star following the release of alien and ghostbusters \u2014committed to the project , and although reisz was no longer available , the film finally found a studio ( cinecom ) and a new director , the german auteur volker schlondorff . but weaver had to drop out when she became pregnant , and schlondorff and wilson found it increasingly difficult to find a star willing to play offred , the book\u2019s narrator ( named literally \u201cof fred , \u201d for the commander she belongs to ) . although offred is an astonishing character with a rich interior monologue incorporating fierce intelligence , compassion , and violent fantasies of revenge against her oppressors , many actresses feared the stigma of being associated with such an explicitly feminist work . \u201cschlondorff is reported to have approached almost every american actress to take over the part of offred \u2026 yet every one of them declined , \u201d writes the academic reingard m . nishick . eventually , the british actress natasha richardson accepted the part . richardson , a daughter of the actress and socialist vanessa redgrave , had activism in her blood , but even she was reportedly wary about taking on the role .\nfrance , in the 1760s . born to a bourgeois family , suzanne ( pauline etienne ) is a beautiful young girl with a natural talent for music . despite her faith , she is dismayed when her parents send her off to a convent , expecting her to become a nun . suzanne first resists the rules of the convent , but soon finds out that she is an illegitimate child , leaving her no other option than to pronounce her vows and suffer the consequences of her mother ' s sin . she soon wants to escape the religious path and is trying to revoke her vows when the mother superior , who had brought her comfort and solace , dies . her successor , sister christine ( louise bourgoin ) , turns out to be a sadistic and cruel mother superior , inflicting the worst forms of humiliation upon suzanne , such as depriving her of food and clothing . suzanne is finally transferred to another convent , where she discovers another kind of mother superior ( isabelle huppert ) , who develops an inappropriate affectionate bond with her . . . adapted . . ."]}

( though some of the musical numbers , including\nwedding of the painted doll\nand\nthe boy friend ,\nare encapsulated sound shorts , introduced by close - up inserts of the turning pages of the playbill . ) beaumont carefully pointed out that the labor - intensive talking pictures demanded extra rehearsals . bessie love ' s ukulele - playing scene alone took more than three hours to film . the film was a smash and\nearned the best gross since the big parade [ 1925 ] , and twice as much as any other film of its season .\n57\nat the present time i believe we have reached a point where an entirely new creation is being perfected\u2014a form of entertainment combining some of the best elements of stage and screen , but distinct from either . i look upon real human interest stories with a natural musical setting as the most fertile field for progress here . \u2026 the direction of talking pictures demands much closer attention to detail than the silent film . a sound picture is virtually\nmade\nbefore its scenes are photographed , for every sequence must be rehearsed until it is perfect before the filming begins .

talking film program was presented at the roxy during the week of 15 november 1928 . it comprised the newsreel and two movietone comedies , including john ford ' s three - reeler napoleon ' s barrer . this all - dialogue film told the story of a barber who regales a customer with stories of what he would do if he met napoleon . needless to say , the customer is napoleon . ford later claimed that , against the wishes of the sound crew , he innovated exterior dialogue scenes . film daily took note :\nsound effects well handled , talking clear , especially in two outdoor sequences .\n29 since the movietone trucks and the crew to operate them were readily available , and since fox managers encouraged shooting outdoors , one wonders why ford would have encountered so much resistance . hall found himself forgetting\nthe novelty of audible productions ,\nan important new criterion for judging sound excellence . 30\nfirst national tried to recover by casting moore in a\nmature\nrole in the musical melodrama footlights and fools ( dir . seiter , 1929 ) . she plays a cabaret performer leading two lives as betty murphy , ordinary girl , and as fifi d ' auray , star of\nthe sins of 1930\nrevue . the notices were less devastating . the evening journal said ,\ncolleen does better work in this one than she has ever done before .\nbut most found her fifi character ' s accent unconvincing . an\nembarrassing attempt to appear and sound gallic ,\nreported the morning telegraph . film daily advised exhibitors ,\nthough her french accent isn ' t so hot , she gets over the story to make it click as a good program offering\u2026 . it can be sold as something entirely different for colleen , but don ' t promise too much .\n16\nthe sign of the cross ( 1932 ) was the first fully integrated sound film . every shot counted . every transition was assured . demille\u2019s use of symbolism , crowds , crane shots , dialectical montage , contrapuntal sound , music cues , sound effects , and even silence was masterly . it was truly a moving picture .\nmost new york critics rated the film excellent . of special interest , though , is the intensity with which jolson ' s charismatic personality impressed them . mordaunt hall of the times pinpointed the appeal of the film ,\nnot in its transparent narrative , but in mr . jolson ' s inimitable singing . one waits after hearing a selection , hoping for another .\nanother commentator called the story\nfamiliar hokum\nbut gushed over jolson ' s\nsincerity and genuine feeling .\ninitial reviews set the tone for the general opinion concerning the movie ' s significance :\nthe talking picture is practicable , inevitable and , in this case , at least , powerful . the singing fool justifies the vitaphone and all the experiments that have hitherto passed as talking pictures .\n8 although the jazz singer ( dir . alan crosland , 1927 ) has entered the history books as the film that started the sound revolution , it was the one - two punch of the lights of new york ( dir . bryan foy ) in july and the singing fool in september 1928 that proved beyond doubt to producers and exhibitors that a feature sound film with a big star had the potential to make millions . simultaneously , the popular press , which had showed little interest in talking features after the jazz singer , now passionately embraced the concept .\nthanks to the unique market conditions of the transition era , dynamite was both cecil b . demille\u2019s first all - talkie sound feature as well as his last silent film . packed with class conscious , never - quite - consummated scandal in demille\u2019s inimitable style , the overheated story centers on cynthia ( johnson ) , a pampered society girl who will lose her trust fund if she isn\u2019t married and living with her husband by a certain date\u2014unless he dies before , in which case she keeps the cash . with the deadline approaching and her current beau , a polo playing playboy ( nagel ) , tied up in a marriage to her best friend , cynthia marries a hardscrabble coal miner on death row ( bickford ) . when bickford\u2019s miner is freed at the last minute , the honorable tough guy arrives at cynthia\u2019s penthouse to live up to his vows , turning her world upside down . narrative differences between the versions are minor but stylistic differences abound , particularly in the handling of the story\u2019s recurring song\nhow am i to know ?\nfeaturing lyrics by dorothy parker .\nsociety girl cynthia crothers marries hagon derk , a miner sentenced to be executed for murder , to fulfill the terms of her grandfather ' s will . the miner is found innocent at the last minute , dashing cynthia ' s hope of marrying her lover , roger , a man whose wife refuses to divorce him . advised by her lawyers that she should live with her husband so as to obtain her money , cynthia goes to the mining town and lives the life of a miner ' s wife . there she realizes the futility of her former life when a mine disaster threatens to take both hagon and roger away from her . after roger is killed in a dynamite explosion while helping them escape , cynthia finds happiness with the miner .\ncomic pair of jimmy durante & lupe velez ! the snout and the spicy chihuahua ! adorably zany ! they are the eccentric show biz pair . fixing their material is the straight pair norman foster & marian nixon . and there ' s a host of other great characters . the script wasn ' t as funny as the cast , but come on ! it ' s durante & velez ! so there are enough laughs to satisfy most . and i felt foster did a real good character here , even doing a good durante imitation at one point . and watch velez like a real vixen twist foster around her little finger . wonderful flirt while wearing ridiculous dresses ! this might not be strictly dynamite , but there are plenty of firecrackers !\nin fact , most warners ' sound specials performed extraordinarily well at the box office ( see appendix 1 ) . the singing fool did good business , but nothing came close to lights of new york , an astounding return on investment in any epoch . yet the studio seemed slow to pick up the ball on the talking gangster film .\nphotoplay quipped that melody of love , with walter pidgeon , was\nvaluable because it shows how not to make a talkie .\n83 its story was weak . jack ( pidgeon ) lost the use of his arm while serving in france during the war . when he encounters a girl he met over there , madelon ( mildred harris ) , who is now a showgirl in the states , the limb comes back to life and they vow to get married . despite the film ' s\nlung power ,\nit was not\naided by its audible accompaniment .\naccording to hall ,\na little of this dialogue offering goes a long way .\nthe daily mirror mused that it was as if a gang of children playing in the backyard had said ,\nlet ' s make a talker .\n84 indeed , that ' s a fair description of the film ' s production , except that it was shot by grown - ups . the reception of this film shows that the novelty of sound was no longer sufficient to save a bad movie .\nas many studio executives did during 1928 - 1929 , schenck regarded sound as a kind of spice to be sprinkled on judiciously , as needed . irving thalberg shared that opinion , and as a result , mgm was the most conservative studio where sound was concerned . it tested the waters in november 1928 with a short subject featuring some stars . ernest torrence is supposedly calling from london ( on at & t transatlantic equipment , naturally ) to announce the opening of the empire theater . george k . arthur , joan crawford , norma shearer , and john gilbert ( who keeps gushing\ncolossal , amazing , and wonderful\n) take turns at the mike . 50\ncritics were eager to carve out a special place for foregrounded sound . interesting effects were acceptable if\nnatural\n( unlike the excessive shrieking in the last warning ) . crazy fake accents and loudmouth talking were acceptable ( for some listeners ) if confined to marx brothers comedies . acoustic spectacle and flashy musical numbers were appropriate in the genre of the musical . in fact , it might be speculated that the rise of the musical comedy and operetta film during this season and the next was the result of public impatience with hollywood showing off its sound - film prowess too expressively . while the consensus was that sound should be dispensed gradually in other genres , in the musical , on the contrary , the prevailing attitude was : anything goes ."]}

brainstem death , more recently referred to diagnosis of death by neurological criteria , has three essential components : the new guidance from the aomrc builds on the original codes of practice and provides greater clarity over various elements of both patient assessment and the performance of the tests themselves . clinical interrogation of the brainstem serves to demonstrate the absence or otherwise of brainstem functions , but it is the initial phases of assessment that indicate their irreversibility .\ndeath consists of the loss of capacity for consciousness and the loss of the ability to breathe .\ncommercials or in episodes of tv series , like this one ,\ndrill for death .\ntwo sets of criteria for the diagnosis of brain death have been of particular influence . the landmark harvard code of practice sets the standard for \u2018whole brain\u2019 death that dominates opinion in north america and beyond , and which underpins the requirement for ancillary testing that sometimes accompanies contemporary criteria . 3 in contrast , the original uk criteria were based upon a conviction that the key elements of brain death\u2014namely irreversible loss of the capacity to breathe combined with the irreversible loss of the capacity for consciousness\u2014could be satisfied through loss of brainstem function alone and that such a state could usually be diagnosed on clinical grounds . 4 regardless of the details , acceptance of the concept of brain death had two consequences . first , there emerged an understandable belief that there were now different kinds of death\u2014brain death and cardiorespiratory or somatic death . secondly , because transplantation outcomes from organs retrieved from heartbeating brain dead donors were superior to those from asystolic donors , brain death has become inextricably linked with organ donation .\nformer detective constable delroy , 56 , said : \u201cyou feel as if someone has pronounced a death sentence .\nalthough it is important to recognize that death is a process , there is a clear societal and professional demand for a reliable means of identifying the moment of death . although the criteria for the diagnosis of death should be separated from matters relating to subsequent organ donation as far as possible , it is nevertheless necessary to consider the criteria for the diagnosis and confirmation of death using cardiorespiratory criteria as it relates to donation after cardiac death ( dcd ) since it is in this context that guidance is most required . guidance from the aomrc advises that death can be diagnosed and confirmed after 5 min of continuous asystole . asystole refers to the absence of mechanical cardiac function and , although it can be identified in a number of ways ( which will in part be dependent upon the monitoring modalities that are being used or are available ) , in practice , this will involve a combination of continuous ecg and intra - arterial pressure monitoring . within the context of dcd , the starting point for the determination of cardiorespiratory death should be the loss of circulation as demonstrated by the absence of pulsatile flow on a correctly functioning arterial line or alternatively with echocardiography where the expertise exists , rather than electrical silence on an ecg . however , in the absence of an arterial line , asystole on the ecg is the only reliable way of confirming 5 min of absent circulation . this diagnosis should only be made by a clinician who is familiar with the specific implications of confirming death by cardiorespiratory criteria in this fashion .\nin infants younger than 2 months of age , the diagnosis of brainstem death becomes difficult . coma in this age group is often multifactorial . although hypoxic encephalopathy remains the most likely cause of devastating brain injury , it is often difficult to demonstrate structural brain damage and thus the preconditions are rarely met .\ni

with the continuing recognition of the medical benefits of cadaveric organ donation present the clinician working in critical care with specific challenges . although these can largely be overcome ,

repeated in the hospital where she is attempting to start over , the whispers turn into a\nas noted above , aspects of modern critical care have placed new demands upon the diagnostic criteria for death and even challenged our very understanding of it . declaration of death in a corpse in an advanced stage of decay and decomposition requires little in the way of diagnostic acumen . however , the possibility of successful resuscitation in a patient who has recently suffered a cardiac arrest , together with the maintained circulation and somatic physiology in an individual who is brainstem dead , highlights the inadequacy of using cardiorespiratory criteria alone in the diagnosis of death . furthermore , some philosophers and ethicists speculate that the loss of capacity for thought , reason , and feeling may indicate a state of death of the person that could be distinguished from the biological death of the organism as a whole . however , there remains a professional and indeed societal conviction that death occurs as a single phenomenon that marks the end of the biological existence of the organism and that its timing can be identified with a reasonable degree of accuracy . recent statements from both the uk and the usa give professional credibility to these convictions . for instance , guidance from the academy of medical royal colleges ( aomrc ) in the uk\ndiagnosis death is written by richard mabry , a qualified doctor who specialises in ent ( ear , nose and throat ) , and has practiced in several major hospitals in texas . since retiring he has turned his hand

death of her husband on icu a series of phone calls accuses her of performing a mercy killing . when the\ntwo appropriately qualified clinicians are required to diagnose brainstem death after exclusion of reversible causes of unconsciousness , confirmation of the absence of brainstem reflexes , and completion of apnoea testing .\ndiagnosis death is pulsing with action , suspense , mystery , and one very big question that dr . elena gardner is desperate to know - - is she a mercy killer ? having no memory of what she did around the time of the patient ' s death , she doesn ' t know . starting out with a prologue that will intrigue and pull you into the story , you won ' t be able to put it down ! what a compelling book ! elena lives a very hectic life as a doctor . as the story

standard for death are considered to be the simultaneous and irreversible loss of both the capacity for consciousness and the capacity to breathe . the criteria required to confirm such a state will vary according to the precise circumstances in which death has occurred and the extent to which this has resulted in the collapse of normal biochemical processes , although it is clear that neurological criteria are in most direct alignment ( fig . 1 ) .\nstill ,\ndrill for death\nis a fun little nod to m * a * s * h and , considering that almost all the cast is still with us , it ' s

exactly the same manner as in the adult . also as in adults , the tests must be undertaken by two competent clinicians of whom one should be a consultant . one , however , should be a paediatrician and one should not be directly involved in that patient ' s care .\nany return of cardiac or respiratory activity during this period of observation should prompt a further 5 min observation period after asystole develops again . at the completion of 5 min of continuous asystole , the clinician should confirm the absence of pupillary reaction and motor response to corneal stimulation and supra - orbital pressure . death is recorded at the time these observations are completed .\nthe historical record is littered with countless examples of failures to distinguish deep coma from death , and accounts of the obsession with premature burial and the use of phrases such as \u2018saved by the bell\u2019 and the \u2018graveyard shift\u2019 . although the scientific foundations of modern medical practice have largely allowed these issues to be resolved , they have been replaced by even more challenging circumstances that are primarily the result of techniques of advanced resuscitation . for example , the demonstration of the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in maintaining cerebral perfusion has challenged the axiom that cardiac arrest is inevitably associated with death ( at least temporarily ) . similarly , interventions in patients with terminal respiratory arrest secondary to an intracranial catastrophe has led to the emergence of a state of profound and irreversible apnoeic coma in patients whose heart continues to beat for as long as mechanical ventilation is continued . this second group of patients , originally described as being in a state beyond coma ( le coma d\u00e9pass\u00e9 ) , 2 has proved particularly challenging for both the medical profession and society as a whole , although eventually led to the emergence of widely accepted criteria

lost .\nthe uk code recognizes that there may be circumstances where clinicians feel unable to confirm death using neurological criteria based on clinical assessment alone . such circumstances include : provision is made in the guidelines for a number of confirmatory tests to be performed in order to confirm the clinical suspicion of brainstem death . these tests are generally aimed at confirming the presence or absence of cerebral blood flow or cerebral function . eeg is the most popular and best validated ancillary test worldwide , but is of little value in cases of drug intoxication since sedative drugs suppress neuronal and therefore eeg activity . confirmation of the absence of cerebral blood flow by angiography establishes the irreversibility of coma in such circumstances , but may be more difficult to organize . ct angiography may be more readily available , but has yet to be properly validated . expert advice should be sought from a local neuroscience unit if necessary .\nthe tests have two components\u2014an examination of the integrity of a number of brainstem reflexes that are mediated by afferent and efferent components of various cranial nerves , and the apnoea test (

widow\nelena gardner is a young doctor , just finishing her residency in a ditinguished dallas hospital . she ' s also a young widow , whose husband mark suffered an aneurysm that caused brain death . after struggling with the decision for weeks , elena violates protocol by writing a do not resuscitate order on his chart herself - - and shortly thereafter , someone turns off mark ' s respirator . elena thinks she may have done it herself , but she doesn ' t remember doing so . this is merely a private grief and mystery ,\nthe summary above makes this book sound far more religious than what it really is . i was more than halfway through the book before anything more religious than having a preacher as a character came forth . basically the religious part of the book is that when elena loses her husband , she loses her faith . a whole lot of bad stuff happens and while most of it happens she is living in the spare room in the preacher ' s house . at some point the preacher ' s wife reminds her that god is looking out for her , even if she doesn ' t feel him . she sees a friend and fellow doctor praying for a patient . after the climax , she she goes to church and hears a sermon about the resurrection . in short , the book is far more romantic medical thriller than christian . like mabry ' s other books ( click link for my review ) medical error and code blue , diagnosis death moves quickly and is hard to put down . mabry ' s medical background shows in his descriptions of medical center life and illnesses . his characters are likable and not too good to be true . i ' d like to thank the publisher for providing a review copy via netgalley and i think most folks would enjoy this book . grade : b +\npersonal drama and spooky circumstances permeate this third and final installment of the physician - author ' s\nprescription for trouble\nseries . when her husband is taken off life support in the hospital where she works , elena gardner becomes a grieving widow who must still perform her duties as doctor . a procedural blip complicates the circumstances of her husband ' s death and , to make matters worse , the emotionally devastated gardner cannot recall her actions at the time of his death . did she pull the plug on her husband ? her colleagues seem understanding , but when another patient in her care mysteriously dies , the hospital staff become suspicious . all the while , gardner gets cryptic , threatening phone calls that follow her even when she relocates to texas . is gardner at the center of these mercy killings or is someone close to her trying to sully her name ? mabry ( medical error ) crafts a tight medical drama that will have readers guessing . for fans of the gory , gritty details of patient trauma and hospital gossip , this book certainly will be an enjoyable page - turner . ( apr . ) ( c ) copyright pwxyz , llc . all rights reserved .\nwhile i enjoyed the story line and the plot , i wasn ' t completely immersed in this story and that is why i had to give this book a 3 star rating . the story is interesting , but for some odd reason , there are several points within this book where the story seems to drag on a bit before picking back up and getting interesting . and while elena is a likable character , she ' s sort of set up as a one dimensional character . she ' s a woman that just left a residency job after the death of her husband . that ' s\nthis book is the third in a series . however , this was the first one that i read . thankfully , the author did such a superb job that i did not feel lost or like i was missing something . having worked in the medical field since the late 80s , i can be a little overly critical of medical dramas and mysteries . i know what is possible and what is just over the top . this book was so well written that i enjoyed every minute and can honestly say that there were no head shaking moments because of medical errors . since the author is a physician himself , he was able to accurately write this story . yet , he doesn\u2019t bog the reader down with over use of medical terminology . i know many of my friends who get frustrated by not knowing what things mean . this book will surely not cause that type of frustration in the reader . this was a fast paced thriller that i did not want to put down at all . i kept me on edge . the few times that i had to put it down , i was just itching to run over and pick it back up . i just had to find out what happened next . you can see the book trailer at diagnosis death on animoto . in conjunction with the wakela ' s world disclosure statement , i received a product in order to enable my review . no other compensation has been received . my statements are an honest account of my experience with the brand . the opinions stated here are mine alone .\ndr . elena gardner has been getting threatening late night calls ever since her husband mark died . she is trying to work through the grief , and struggling with mounds of unpaid medical bills . her only glimpse of hope is working with a well respected doctor at zale university hospital where her husband died . when that hope is dashed , she is offered another job a few hours away ; the only problem is that there are some questions about her husbands ' death from an intracranial bleed . right before he was taken off life support , she had signed the dnr , but that opened up a controversy about the timing and if she personally ended his life . haunted by his death , she questions her actions whenever she is with someone with a similar condition in the er . will she be able to function as a doctor , or will the threatening phone calls and self doubt follow her where ever she starts a medical practice ? this is an excellent medical suspense novel , written by a doctor , who gives insights into the medical professions struggle with ethics . i didn ' t realize that this was the 3rd book in a series called prescription for trouble , it reads like a stand alone and it wet my appetite to read the first two . the last page really spoke to me , and brought tears to my eyes . i read it on kindle and gave 4 stars .\ndiagnosis death\nis a medical suspense novel with a romance . while i was able to figure out whodunit before the big reveal , the answer to the last mysterious bit was a surprise . while the reader wasn ' t told from the beginning who was behind the calls , etc . , the story wasn ' t really about investigating the mystery . the mystery wasn ' t solved earlier only because elena was terrified that she might be the killer . she avoided investigating what was going on though she hated what not knowing as doing to her and what the rumors were doing to her career . she had to find the courage to face the truth . the suspense was created by wondering who was behind the calls , what was going to go wrong next , various medical emergencies , and some physical danger to the characters near the end . the characters were complex and acted in realistic ways . the details about the job and setting brought the story alive in my imagination without slowing the fast pacing . many of the characters were christian . elena struggled with why god didn ' t answer her prayers to heal her husband . she wasn ' t on\nspeaking terms\nwith god during most of the book though she still believed in him . the story had a christian theme running throughout it . there were frequent mentions of\ni ' m praying for you ,\na brief sermon summary by a pastor ' s wife , and a bible verse that impacted elena . this book was the third in the series , but you don ' t need to read the previous novels to understand this one . however , the characters from the first novel ,\ncode blue ,\nshow up in this one , so reading this novel out of order will spoil the romantic outcome of\ncode blue .\nthere was no sex and no bad language . overall , i ' d recommend this suspenseful novel . i received this book as an ebook review copy from the publisher , provided through netgalley

by dr . chuck swindoll .\nwhile i enjoyed the story line and the plot , i wasn ' t completely immersed in this story and that is why i had to give this book a 3 star rating . the story is interesting , but for some odd reason , there are several points within this book where the story seems to drag on a bit before picking back up and getting interesting . and while elena is a likable character , she ' s sort of set up as a one dimensional character . she ' s a woman that just left a residency job after the death of her husband . that ' s about it . we see her slowly work through her grief of losing her husband a few months prior but even that plot seems to take a back seat to the story after several chapters . the mystery portion was a good idea but for some reason , it just didn ' t play out well . it seems like it was just put out there , it was over with quickly and we don ' t get a lot of explanation except for a few spoken words at the end while everyone is at a public restaurant . also , there is one small plot portion where we don ' t hear a lot more about it . this character was turned into the cops , we find out it wasn ' t their first time and that ' s about it . the book is a fast read however . it ' s not filled with too many boring details or situations that have no relevance to the plot . it ' s just the story and nothing else . not a bad read but not exceptional

whether an organism remains a whole depends upon recognizing the persistence or cessation of the fundamental vital work of a living organism\u2014the work of self - preservation , achieved through the

work , then the conclusion that the organism as a whole has died is warranted .\nthe ability of an organism to interact with the environment to selectively obtain what it needs for survival , and an

formal demonstration of coma , apnoea , and the absence of brainstem reflex activity .\nthe tests should be carried out by two qualified doctors who are competent with the procedure , one of these should be a consultant and both should have been fully registered with the general medical council for at least 5 yr . the tests must be undertaken by the two doctors together and completed successfully on two occasions .\nclinicians must be sure that a patient ' s apnoeic coma is not the result of , either completely or in part , reversible influences such as sedative drugs , endocrine and metabolic abnormalities , hypothermia , or cardiovascular instability ( table 1 ) .\npotentially reversible causes of coma and guidance for testing . note that these limits are not prescriptive and do not replace clinical judgement when assessing their contribution ( and therefore importance ) to the overall condition of the patient\ndrug intoxication represents a clinically significant reversible cause of coma and may complicate assessment on occasions where the patient has received infusions of sedative drugs as part of their critical care treatment and when their brain injury is a result of drug - induced self - harm . the most problematic of circumstances are those where the identity of the intoxicating substances is unknown , where drug elimination is impaired by reduced hepatorenal function , or where agents with long half - lives have been used . possible approaches include :\na period of observation that approximates to four times the elimination half - life of the agent involved to allow effective drug elimination . this approach is best suited to circumstances where short - acting agents such as propofol and alfentanil have been given to patients with normal hepatic and renal function .\nthe administration of specific antagonists such as flumazenil or naloxone in circumstances where the residual effects of opioids or benzodiazepines is suspected .\nplasma analysis to confirm that a suspected sedative is either not detected or at a subtherapeutic level . this option is particularly suited for agents with long or unpredictable half - lives such as thiopental or phenobarbital .\na confirmatory test to demonstrate the absence of cerebral blood flow / perfusion , for example , cerebral angiography .\ndespite this general guidance , the revised aomrc code remains permissive and gives a clinician the latitude to dismiss the influence of sedative agents in circumstances where there is independent evidence to suggest that the patient is brainstem dead , for example , on the basis of the computed tomographic ( ct ) head scan or a prolonged period of malignant intracranial hypertension .\nother causes of apnoea are rare but should be actively sought if the history or clinical examination suggests their presence . severe neuromuscular weakness of any cause can produce apnoea . after head injury , it is necessary to exclude cervical spinal cord injury as a cause of respiratory paralysis . it is also sensible to routinely use a nerve stimulator to confirm the absence of residual drug - related neuromuscular block .\nformal testing can take place once clinicians are satisfied that the patient has satisfied the essential preconditions and that there are no significant reversible contributions to the comatose and apnoeic state .

just back as the 2000 ' s rolled into double digits - that hong kong ' s dante lam made the transition from being a journeyman jobbing director into one of the world ' s finest purveyors of large scale , hyper kinetic action cinema . 2008 effort beast stalker led the charge with 2010 releases fire of conscience and stool pigeon seeming to seal the deal to the point that he was being regularly name dropped in the company of john woo and johnnie to and not feeling at all out of place .\nthe stool pigeon is a dante lam directed hong kong undercover action thriller starring kwai lun - mei , nicholas tse and nick cheung . it has a bunch of really sweet action set pieces , but it also takes every single element out of the beginner\u2019s handbook for melodramatic filmmaking .\nthese changes within the film and the actors may not reform the current downturn situation of hong kong films , but at least it\u2019s a refreshing break .\ntai fung ( tsu ' s ) co . ltd . ( film stock supplied by )\nviewers who are searching for the next great action movie out of hong kong may find themselves slightly disappointed by \u201cthe stool pigeon . \u201d the film is nearly two hours long but the script favors melodrama over action . towards the end of the movie , a subplot involving nick cheung and his ex - wife takes center stage and injects the film with an almost overbearing amount of emoting . the unpredictable plot twists that follow during the final thirty minutes attempt to recall the bygone era of early 90\u2019s hong kong crime films , but what\u2019s missing is an innovative or tensely - staged shootout . the story\u2019s denouement is an exercise in brutal stabbings and bludgeoning that goes for a primal rather than choreographed feel .\nhong kong - - smarting with as much psychological as physical bruising ,\nthe stool pigeon\nis an action film with a grave , melancholic strain . it ' s a conventional yarn , slightly dragged out and belabored by director dante lam , in which a beleaguered cop and his desperado informant develop loyalties in spite of themselves but are forced into betrayals against their wishes . nevertheless , the performances nick cheung and nicholas tse deliver make one agonize with their quandary .\nin a prologue , police stakes out a factory to round up a gang of ice dealers . senior inspector don li ( nick cheung ) jeopardizes the life of his stool pigeon jabber ( liu kai - chi ) in his urge to nail the big boss marco . marco escapes anyway , but jabber , seriously injured and traumatized , has to go under .\none critic said the film wiped away the recent years of love stories , as it recalls the classic gang themes from hong kong crime films . there are definitely a few violent scenes which stimulate the senses and gets the adrenalin flowing .\ndon lee ( nick cheung ) , a police detective in kowloon whose reliance on informants leaves him struggling with a guilty conscience . lee ' s previous stool pigeon ' s cover was blown and was attacked , leading him paranoid and driven from his wife and home . lee begins to doubt his own methods . lee recruits a street racer named ghost ( nicholas tse ) as his latest stool pigeon who is assigned to infiltrate a gang lead by the notorious armed robber barbarian ( lu yi ) . ghost accepts lee ' s offer so he can rescue his sister from a life of prostitution as well as help his father ' s one -

hate relationship with every hongkong crime film that came out after infernal affairs but this one was great .\nthe china - taiwan - hong kong cast helps in varying degrees . oddly , lu yi is dubbed into cantonese while guey lun - mei speaks in her own mandarin . they , along with keung ho - man and miao pu ( as inspector lee ' s crippled dance instructor crush ) deliver solid performances , and liu kai - chi chews scenery in his gloriously inimitable manner . this is really the nick and nic show , however , with both outshining the whole cast in screentime and performance . the action and acting carries the film such that it compensates for quite possibly stool pigeon ' s biggest problem : the curse of the china co - production . more specifically , everyone gets what ' s coming to them , making every character ' s fate easy to guess . still , the filmmakers and actors infuse the situations with enough emotional resonance and kinetic surprise to make the whole package work . if the challenge facing hk filmmakers is how to work within sarft ' s confines , then dante lam and jack ng succeed in a strong , if not completely stellar fashion .

( nicholas tse ) in hopes of bringing down jewelry thieves tai ping ( keung ho - man ) and barbarian ( lu yi ) . as most criminals would , ghost jr . wants nothing to do with the fuzz , but lee has some powerful tools : money and leverage . he can help ghost jr . in ways that his old gang pals can ' t , and if ghost jr . says\nno\n, lee can force his cooperation . eventually , ghost jr . has no choice but to become lee ' s latest stool pigeon .\nthe first dante lam film i viewed in 2010 provided me with a real roller - coaster ride of a movie experience . filled with highs and lows , it opened with a scene that left me slack - jawed in amazement - - it was that astoundingly innovative and good . unfortunately ( and this is a good part why it is only at number seven on my list ) , it ended with a whimper as far as i ( and quite a few other people i know ) are concerned . if only the last quarter or so of the film had lived up to what had preceded it . . . including some visuals that had excellent special effects and others that made use of the kind of stunt work and dedication to physical acting duty that contributed quite a bit to what made many of us fans of hong kong cinema .\nas an observer of the hong kong cinema scene , it ' s been interesting to see the reception that this nostalgia - tinged derek kwok and clement cheung movie revolving around an unlikely group of old school kung fu exponents and youthful followers has gotten in various spheres . at the hong kong international film festival screening that i attended ( and which was graced by a number of its stars and derek kwok ) , the film received the kind of rave reception that many a filmmaker and actor can but dream of . but although it appears to have become quite the film festival favorite overseas as well , it had but a modest commercial run in hong kong - - indicating that this is the kind of movie that appeals only to a certain ( as opposed to truly wide ) audience .\nfirst day of domestic release in hong kong bodes well with $ 112 , 000 worth of tickets sold . overseas ancillary looks hopeful . reactions from major festivals however , have been lukewarm , possibly due to the emotionally overcooked ending and familiarity of the police - mole relationship in hong kong cinema . indeed , despite reuniting the same main cast and mapping out neat symmetries of character and plot with lam ' s critically lauded\nbeast stalker ,\npigeon\nfalls short in tension and stylistic brio if judged as a sister film .\none thing that became very obvious over the course of the conversation ( that took in the works of tsui hark and john woo as well as their own ) was how much they really are film buffs ( and not\njust\nfilmmakers ) . and there ' s a wonderful scene in\nadheres more to the tried and true , with characters never breaking from conventional expectations . some details and subplots are more labored than they should be , with inspector lee\u2019s backstory reaching particularly egregious heights ( or depths , perhaps ) in order to make his character exceptionally and unnecessarily tortured . furthermore , some of the film\u2019s biggest twists are handed to characters who lack the same generous development as inspector lee and ghost jr . that uneven focus hurts the film ' s momentum , but lam ' s execution compensates nicely .\n\u201chong kong offers an efficient and skilled environment for producers , a gateway to mainland china and filmart , the region\u2019s only global film market , \u201d wolf said . \u201cwe are thrilled to have the hong kong trade development council join with us at afm . \u201d\ndon learns that a jewelry heist gang led by a man known named barbarian ( yi lu ) is back in hong kong and setting up for their next score . word on the streets is that the gang is in need of a getaway driver . don then attempts to recruit ghost jr . ( nicholas tse ) , an ex - con supremely talented at street car racing , as his next stool pigeon . when ghost jr . discovers that his sister works as a prostitute to pay off their dead father ' s debt , ghost jr . decides to work for don . . .\nfilm looks suitably large scale , but that is some terrible cgi . it seems that chinese movie companies are still using special effects that were available in the 90 ' s . sometimes they totally ruin an otherwise excellent action movie .\ndon ' s story starts off promisingly as a police procedural , but then morphs into the most dire , wrong - headed kind of melodrama , complete with uncontrollable weeping , hysterical mental illness , and syrupy love songs . we learn a couple of things about the serious , incredibly straight - laced don as the movie progresses , but they fail to illuminate him in the context of the story in which he inhabits . the losses that he suffers outside of the job are so contrived , pulled so thoroughly from the\nbigger emotions are better\nplaybook , that they effectively derail much of the stool pigeon ' s third act in an orgy of unearned tears and drama . in particular , there is a revelation about his wife that we learn which is so dumb ( there ' s no better word for it ) that you would suspect it was pulled from a script parodying this kind of silliness .\nthere are a couple of well - staged and tense action sequences peppered throughout the film - - in particular a car chase through the city streets which ends in a more realistic way than many film car chases do , then becomes a pretty interesting foot chase through a market that works in spite of not really answering how the characters are finally able to make their escape . again , these scenes are part of a much more interesting movie that has a recognizable shape and would be easy to recommend were it not grafted onto the terrible other half which should be avoided like the plague .\nnick cheung brings a heightened level of authenticity to his role , seeing as how he was an actual member of the royal hong kong police officer for five years ; and the rhkp\u2019s most beloved actor , danny lee , was the one who helped cheung get his start in films . nicolas tse delivers a dependable performance , even if the script calls for him to smoke more than act . the real revelation here is taiwanese actress kwai lun - mei . i was shocked to read online that lun - mei has a \u2018good girl\u2019 image in the press because in \u201cthe stool pigeon\u201d she comes across as a smolderingly sexy and dangerous criminal who isn\u2019t afraid to open fire at a moment\u2019s notice . it\u2019s a shame that the screenplay gives her character so little backstory or motivation ; kwai lun - mei appears to have created this interesting but troubled woman out of thin air .\nhong kong offers an efficient and skilled environment for producers , a gateway to mainland china and filmart , the region ' s only global film market ,\nwolf said .\nwe are thrilled to have the hong kong trade development council join with us at afm .\nthe upcoming edition is the 15th anniversary of filmart to be held march 21 - 24 , 2011 at the hong kong convention and exhibition centre in the downtown wan chai district .\nwhat with 2010 being the 70th anniversary of bruce lee ' s birth , it was almost inevitable that there would be a hong kong international film festival programme commemorating the man who may well still be hong kong cinema ' s internationally most recognizably personality even after all these years . less predictable - - at least to me - - was that there also would be a biopic made of the individual known to cantonese - speakers as lee siu lung ( little dragon lee ) , that the biopic would actually have far more drama than action , and that it would turn out to be a watchable movie even for someone who ' s not been that big a bruce lee fan for decades . ( confession : as a child , i was a big fan - - and remember having been in utter disbelief as well as devastated at the news of his death . )\nplays like a procedural on the cop - informant dynamic , with lam showing us the compromises and moral issues involved in using bad guys to catch other bad guys . inspector lee can apply police pressure to get his way , making the stool pigeon less of a partner and more of a pawn coerced into betraying his kind . then , if lee wants a little more , he can always change the deal . after all , who cares about the well being of a three - time loser when seeking justice ? on the flip side , if you betray someone who trusts you for your own ends , what does that make you ? these are worthwhile themes and dante lam and jack ng\u2019s script tackles them smartly , making both inspector lee and ghost jr . into strong and involving characters . both cheung and tse are excellent in their roles , with cheung once again edging tse as the efficient yet tortured inspector lee .\nhaving already reviewed this chan hing ka and janet chun movie on this blog , i don ' t see much reason to write much more about the film . instead , here ' s taking the opportunity to recount that some years back , i had the privilege of meeting chan hing ka and his frequent collaborator ( including on this movie ) , producer amy chin . the official reason was to interview the director about a previous movie of theirs (\nfilm fan , culture vulture , foodie , and independent travel and hiking enthusiast who has lived and worked on four continents . i moved to hong kong in 2007 and still do love it after all these years .\nunbeatable was a pretty unmitigated success both critically and commercially . and i wouldn ' t worry about zhang and peng : whether one likes them or not , they ' re two of china ' s most charismatic actors . the trailer does look a bit rough ( kind of like footage quickly put together for early film market exposure ) , but it looks pretty enticing to me ! to the fore was indeed a puzzling misfire ( and i ' m saying that only after having seen the film , mind you ^ ^ ) , but this should at least be entertaining .\n\u201cgiven our long -

- both memoirs : this boy ' s life and now in pharoah ' s army . these two works have left me with an impression of him as a writer that strikes me as similar to my impression of writers like jack london , john steinbeck , and ernest hemingway . similar , but not the same . in ways , he has that\nman ' s man\nthing about his writing that they have . in other ways , he is much more gut - wrenchingly honest and allows himself a vulnerability that i can ' t imagine someone lik\npharoah ' s army , based on a supposedly true kentucky legend , is a war movie without the war . for those who don ' t fight the battles but still have to take sides , the inner struggles can be as heartbreaking as the war itself . director robby henson ' s stark , unsentimental telling of the story has a powerful emotional impact . looking for enemies , a group of . . . read more\nno frills or fancy camera work , but an effective and moving film none the less . pharaoh ' s army is an intimate look at the civil war and how on a small scale it was waged without being on a battlefield . yankee cavalry led by chris cooper stumble upon the kentucky farm of a confederate wife played by patricia clarkson . from the get go there is tension between the troops and clarkson and her son . an accident forces the soldiers to stay and a forced bond between cooper ' s character and the farm is forged . the film has very beautiful scenes of nature and farm life . the interaction between the main combatants is very well done , along with a strong script . the plot\u2026\nwith director and writer robby henson on national public radio ' s\nmorning edition ,\napril 5 , 1996 .\nsometimes , it ' s all in the acting . cooper and clarkson . . . well , just settle in . they crackle with confused attraction as enemies in unfortunate circumstances . cooper ' s captain just wants to do the unpleasant necessary of raiding supplies and go on his way , but now he ' s in a hostage situation with no one to offer a ransom .\nwolff continues in the self -

related incidents cause mounting difficulties and shifting loyalties . sarah ' s young son draws the local preacher ( kris kristofferson ) into the situation , and , after a galvanizing sermon , a bloody confrontation is at hand .\n\u201close faith . pray anyway . persist . we are made to persist , to complete the whole tour . that ' s how we find out who we are . \u201d\nin this extraordinary memoir of wolff\u2019s vietnam experience , there is a haunting scene that reveals the major cultural differences between the american soldiers and vietnamese culture . wolff was a first lieutenant ( he was a special forces member ) assigned as an adviser to a south vietnamese unit . he had spent a year at language school in the united states and was fluent in vietnamese . he and some arvn ( army of the republic of vietnam ) soldiers are hanging out when two of the arvn find a small pup\nwhen the israelites saw the egyptian army coming , they became afraid and cried out to the lord for help . they said to moses ,\nwhy did you bring us out here into the wilderness to die ? is it because there weren ' t any graves in egypt ? it would have been better to stay as the egyptian ' s slaves than to die out here .\nthen moses said ,\ndon ' t be afraid . stand still , and see how god will save you .\na gentleman goes to war . this boy ' s life by tobias wolff is a classic . in that book he does a brilliant job capturing the ugliness of class prejudice in america , and the twisted strategems people use to rise in class . unfortunately , this book is not so much about vietnam as it is about wolff ' s presence in vietnam - - in other words , what ' s really on display is not his courage or patriotism but his , shall we say , genteel powers of detachment . he ' s always saying ,\nlook , most of the grunts were low class brutes , i was different . sensitive , perceptive - - i didn ' t really belong there at all !\nit gets tiresome .\ntobias wolff has a knack for finding extraordinary truths in the mundanities and absurdities of everyday life . his 1989 memoir about his adolescent years , this boy\u2019s life , still ranks as one of my all - time favorite reads . in this subsequent memoir of his years as an army officer in the vietnam war , wolff\u2019s powers of perception are again on full display . i found it easier to think of each chapter in this book as a short story rather than as parts in a linear narrative . some stories resonated with me more than others . in those , i found turns of phrase so potent that they were like gems . so sad and funny all at once . no one does the human condition like wolff .\nwolff ' s leadership skills , intelligence , and abilities were noted by his commanders in recruit training , even though he did not see those same qualities in himself . he was tapped to join special forces and attend language school in washington , dc . he went on to officer ' s candidate school and parachute training and eventually was dispatched as a lieutenant to vietnam where the war was raging .\ni ' ve read a lot of books about vietnam over the years , but i still enjoyed wolff ' s fresh perspective as a first lieutenant . his willingness to more or less describe himself as a coward in the face of danger and his attention to detail in describing his year in my tho in the mekong delta at the time of the tet offensive make this a good read regardless of how much you know about the vietnam - u . s . war . although best known as a short story writer , i ' m looking forward to reading his memoir a boy ' s li\ni ' ve read a lot of books about vietnam over the years , but i still enjoyed wolff ' s fresh perspective as a first lieutenant . his willingness to more or less describe himself as a coward in the face of danger and his attention to detail in describing his year in my tho in the mekong delta at the time of the tet offensive make this a good read regardless of how much you know about the vietnam - u . s . war . although best known as a short story writer , i ' m looking forward to reading his memoir a boy ' s life next .\nwhen i describe wolff ' s work to people , i say he ' s probably the most emulated short story writer in america . you have to read one of his stories and have read a lot of american creative writing work to know what i mean . and these are memoirs , which is pretty indicative of american fiction . he has the clarity of a baldwin , the structures of carver , and seems to have lived a life like hemingway . i don ' t recognize his tone , which is often a little cruel , so i ' ll say it ' s distinctly wolff . this is p\nyou must only upload images which you have created yourself or that you are expressly authorised or licensed to upload . by clicking\npublish\n, you are confirming that the image fully complies with tv . com\u2019s\ntalk about getting out of the frying pan and into the fire . tobias wolff joined the army because he thought it would be safer than ships . as an 18 - year - old , he was working on a survey vessel in the north atlantic when , one day , a red - haired mechanic tried to kill him . wolff was sleeping with his head on an idle propeller ; he heard a noise , woke with a start , and sat up just before the silver blades roared into life . they would have minced his head . he weighed up his chances of surviving a renewed assault , figured they were small , and signed up for the army on the grounds that most of the writers he admired - mailer , remarque , hemingway - had at one time been soldiers .\nhenson ' s script is based on a kentucky legend about a boy who killed a yankee soldier and buried him in a sinkhole . henson came across it while researching one of his documentaries about southern history and culture .\na man who abandoned his family callously returns with his new girlfriend to sign the divorce papers and see his daughter who ' s getting married . his arrival reawakens old family wounds and pushes his distraught wife to the brink of sanity .\ntobias wolff provides us with a memoir that captures his experience of serving in the vietnam war . every human emotion , including the lack thereof , gets it ' s due . wolff captures that war as deftly as tim o ' brien .\nwhen i describe wolff ' s work to people , i say he ' s probably the most emulated short story writer in america . you have to read one of his stories and have read a lot of american creative writing work to know what i mean . and these are memoirs , which is pretty indicative of american fiction . he has the clarity of a baldwin , the structures of carver , and seems to have lived a life like hemingway . i don ' t recognize his tone , which is often a little cruel , so i ' ll say it ' s distinctly wolff . this is probably his best collection of stories , overall - - but with nothing as perfect as ' bullet in the brain . '\ni found this surprisingly compelling . it ' s competently acted and directed and it brings up some provocative ideas about the internal conflicts folks went through during a time when they had to turn on their own countrymen . i thought it was pretty good .\nso this woman ' s acting career isn ' t really going as planned or whatever . she finally gets a role on this heart break hospital soap opera because this movie is so meta har har har . then she . . . see full summary \u00bb\ni really like memoir , and this was no exception . vietnam era stuff sometimes gets to me because of my dad ' s experience and the resulting psychological trauma , but this was really well done . wolff is an honest storyteller who didn ' t shy away from painting himself in a less than stellar light . this isn ' t really a\nfront lines of battle\nkind of war memoir , though clearly we get some of that . it ' s more about the situation he found himself in , constant struggle he felt throughout , his platoon , frien\nit stars chris cooper ( matewan , lonesome dove ) as a union army captain who leads his rag - tag cavalry up a misty creek on a foraging mission . they come upon the small , remote farm of sarah anders , played by patricia clarkson ( the untouchables , the dead pool ) . anders is a proud , defiant woman whose husband is away fighting for the confederacy . she also harbors an intense and justified hatred : yankees dug the body of her infant daughter out of the community graveyard for being part of a confederate family .\nwhether he is evoking the blind carnage of the tet offensive , the theatrics of his fellow americans , or the unraveling of his own illusions , wolff brings to this work the same uncanny eye for detail , pitiless candor and mordant wit that made this boy ' s life a modern classic .\nwar stories are really my brother ' s forte , but i thoroughly enjoyed this book . it ' s a memoir of vietnam , and because i read it for a creative non - fiction class , i ' m left wondering whether a few things actually happened . is truth crazier than fiction ? i also really loved the interjections of writerly advice within the narrative , and wish wolff would have given us more . a young man overseas , always with a novel in the back of his head . in many ways , i related . in many ways , i found truth within his\ni really like memoir , and this was no exception . vietnam era stuff sometimes gets to me because of my dad ' s experience and the resulting psychological trauma , but this was really well done . wolff is an honest storyteller who didn ' t shy away from painting himself in a less than stellar light . this isn ' t really a\nfront lines of battle\nkind of war memoir , though clearly we get some of that . it ' s more about the situation he found himself in , constant struggle he felt throughout , his platoon , friends , family and personal growth . highly recommend .\nburns used it as a bible for his series . i did , too . i tried to make the language as historically accurate as the events . for instance , the phrase ' meeting the elephant ' was a term that came from shelby . it means going into a day ' s battle .\nin the finished film , the boy , played by newcomer will lucas , stays mostly in the background . the murdered yankee is an injured soldier , the boy ' s mother ( patricia clarkson ) is defiantly anti - union , and the union captain ( chris cooper ) who takes over their farm is a reluctant leader .\na lot of people in kentucky have this background ,\nhe said .\neveryone assumes if you ' re from kentucky , you fought for the south , but that ' s not necessarily true . i only realized it when i was doing research . many of us don ' t even know where our ancestors fought in the war .\n: by the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread until thou return unto the ground , for out of it we was taken . dust thou art , and unto dust shalt thou return . heavenly father , pick this child up on heaven ' s side . put the grave behind for the promise on the other side , that she might live and abide with you .\na good , not great book . there is a lot of introspection of tobias wolff ' s time in vietnam without a lot of stories . mostly about his life before , in training and after . i read this because of a reference to it in\nthe road not taken : edward lansdale and the american tragedy in vietnam\n, and i happened to have the book .\nthe book is only incidentally a portrait of the war , which is perhaps just as well : there is no shortage of those . but wolff is a high , clear writer - one of the best - and this is , in effect , volume two of the autobiography he began in this boy ' s life . even under fire , wolff was self - consciously having an experience , giving himself something to write about one day . and quite a large part of what is only a small book is taken up with memories of the author ' s father , an ex - convict whose indisciplined life fostered in wolff the desire for order . so far as combat goes , we are offered , in clean and suggestive lines , a choice sequence of pregnant incidents .\na lot of my past nonfiction work has dealt with how you never know what the facts really are ,\nhe said .\nthis is based on oral history . who knows what the actual history was ? harry caudill told me this story . the rest of the script is imagined fiction . it ' s a pretty barebones little legend that we spun into a story .\nthis was on a list of movies i made years ago after reading a book about the civil war in film . it ' s a nice overlooked movie , but does get slow in places . gives a good look at how the war affects those behind the front lines , and how hard it is to be civil and neighborly in a land where it literally was neighbor against neighbor . 3 .\nthen moses lifted up his stick over the sea and god made a path dry up through the middle of the sea . the water stood up in walls on both sides and a wind made the ground dry . that night the israelites walked through the sea on dry ground to the other side . in the early morning before sunrise when the cloud lifted , the egyptians started to follow the israelites through the sea . but god made the chariot wheels fall off . so the egyptians said ,\nlet ' s get out of here ! jehovah is fighting for the israelites .\nthen when the sun came up , god told moses ,\nlift up your stick again over the sea .\nwhen moses did so , the walls of water fell down and the sea returned to its place . all the egyptians drowned , and the israelites saw the dead egyptians on the seashore . then they feared and believed in god . and the israelites sang a song praising god . miriam , the sister of moses and aaron , led the israelite women in singing and dancing for joy . that day god had saved the israelite people from the egyptian army .\ngood book but not long enough to go as deeply as i would have liked . while chronicling a year ' s military tour in vietnam , wolff renders that hazardous and appalling situation in as clear a way as i have ever read , offering up with stark clarity the dehumanizing aspects of war , the terrible compromises that must be made , and the sacrifices of conscience that go along with being a soldier .\nway too many rewards from reading this book to even mention . his sentences , both in fiction and non fiction , are some of the best i ' ve ever read . it ' s like listening to a smarter person than you ' ve ever known , speak with a poetic frankness absolutely void of sanctimony . and there are several passages / lines in this one that ' ll keep you thinking for days .\noriginal story took place at meshack ' s creek , kentucky , in 1862 ; the town no longer exists . tompkinsville is the nearest town officially recognized by the us postal service , roughly 6 miles to the west of the creek . the general area ( cumberland gap ) , during the civil war , experienced some of the most brutal clashes of the war ; not only battles , but brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor .\nit ' s a film about people who are always reacting to events . they ' re fully realized , they have their own agendas , but pretty soon they ' re drawn towards this point . the mother reminds me a lot of people who grow up in that area . she has a stubborn scots - irish sternness , she has a chance to melt but she really doesn ' t . you see a hardening of her attitudes .\nknown for his expressive brushwork , brilliant color , and hazy , atmospheric effects , renaissance painter tiziano vecelli , called titian , along with giorgione , was the founder of arte moderna , a nuanced style characterized by dynamic asymmetry and non - hierarchical compositions that broke from the work of his master , giovanni bellini . after giorgione and bellini died , titian introduced many innovations and was the considered the master of venetian painting . titian ' s 1548 painting equestrian portrait of charles v established equestrian portraiture as a new genre that referenced both the roman tradition of equestrian sculpture and the medieval representations of christian knights . one of titian\u2019s most famous paintings is the rape of europa ( 1562 ) , which introduced a powerful diagonal structure\u2014almost baroque in its blurred lines , swirling color , and vibrant brushwork . after a very successful career with many prestigious commissions , titian died of the plague that swept venice in 1576 .\ninspired by a true story of union soldiers that are headed south during the civil war ( 1862 ) with captain john hull abston played by chris cooper they stumble upon a home while traveling up a creek in southern kentucky . that home happens to inhabit the wife and son of a confederate soldier that ' s gone to war himself . a really good cast with a solid story , some shotty camera work that is expected in some indie films . overall worth a watch .\nthis is one of those rare books ; a memoir written with unflinching honesty . in turns funny , brutal and melancholic , i found this an altogether different take on the vietnam experience . wolff ' s initial description of his entry into the military and subsequent deployment to vietnam was quite amusing to read however it is the misery of command that he endures that held my attention . he finds cruelty , misogyny and distrust everywhere he turns and struggles with his conscience as he attempts to come to\nthe vietnam war memoir has been harder than expected to find . tim o ' brien is probably the famous name of the genre , but as it turns out , he is writing fictionalizations . guns up ! is strong and full - throated in its one way . enter tobias wolff . at first echoing will manchester ' s ( ww2 vet ) seemingly distant / dissociated / even perverse confrontation with the absurdities and hollowness of war , wolff quickly gets involved in a slightly mournful but at times mordant dissection of military realities . he\nalthough always keenly aware of d\u00fcrer ' s example , titan forged for himself a new kind of graphic vocabulary . he seems to have drawn across the entire surface himself , either in a full - size cartoon or , more probably , on the block itself , this is most clearly suggested by the great pen strokes of which the cloud is constructed . his use of cross - hatching , literally fluid in in its effects in the rendering of rippling waves , achieves an extraordinarily abstract richness in the synthetic structures of the great rock .\nanders understandably is the most unwilling of hostesses , but abston is an uncommonly decent man who joined the union forces specifically to free the slaves . a farmer himself , he is soon plowing anders ' field and chopping her wood . although anders remains wary , she and abston find themselves relating to each other like human beings rather than enemies . indeed , abston , three years a widower , is clearly longing for a wife and his home , so like anders ' place . inevitably , abston ' s kindness to\nthe enemy\nis not going to sit well with all his men , and suspense develops as to just how long this brief time out from war will last and how it will play out .\nso much of the life - and - death part was just luck , though . wolff explains how swiftly the military certainties dissolved . ' despite the promise implicit in our training - if you do everything right , you ' ll make it home - you couldn ' t help but notice that the good troops were getting killed right along with the slackers and shitbirds . ' he describes his close calls - a hand grenade under his truck that by some miracle didn ' t explode , a howitzer that fell from a helicopter , a fateful hand that fell on another man ' s shoulder - and winces . there just isn ' t a way to make them mean anything , apart from that he was lucky , and the others weren ' t .\nas a child , i sometimes watched the news , at least when passing the old television with the big antenna atop the house which picked up two stations - - the nbc and cbs affiliates . almost every night , at least from the age i remembered anything i saw , we heard news stories from some strange place with jungles where a lot of americans engaged in war . the place , of course , was vietnam . tobias wolff provides a first - hand look at his experience as an officer both before and during his being stationed there . the majority deals with time spent in the my tho region . i enjoyed his sincere narrative which showed his development as an individual and as a soldier . he offers keen observations on both the vietnamese and american forces . i want to read more of wolff ' s work in the future .\nbut the chaos of war was not the first time that wolff was forced to deal with the challenge of uncertainty in his life . he did not do well in school and his home life was in shatters . he had a supportive mother but his father was a liar and a con man and was serving time in prison when wolff was in the process of deciding what to do with his life . after having dropped out of high school , wolff was working as a crew mate on a coast and geodetic survey ship . a night of too much partying caused him to miss his ship ' s departure . since he had disappointed his mother too many times in the past , he decided he had to do something to make her proud and prove his worth . those feelings and the fact that many writers he admired\u2014especially ernest hemingway\u2014had served in the military , led him to enlist .\nthis is one of those rare books ; a memoir written with unflinching honesty . in turns funny , brutal and melancholic , i found this an altogether different take on the vietnam experience . wolff ' s initial description of his entry into the military and subsequent deployment to vietnam was quite amusing to read however it is the misery of command that he endures that held my attention . he finds cruelty , misogyny and distrust everywhere he turns and struggles with his conscience as he attempts to come to terms with not having the courage to change things . a particularly nasty act in the bush forces him to stand his ground and halt the activity . just as he is coming to terms with this minor success , he is completely downcast when rather than thanks , the victim willingly returns to the perpetrators . this scene , to my eyes , was a microcosm of the whole book . very few little victories and even then , usually a price to pay . this is a short book but a riveting read and will particularly appeal to anyone interested in the realities of command during conflict .\nif you ' re looking for a civil war film with a capital\nc ,\nfeaturing the panoramic battle sequences of a nation divided , rent\ngettysburg\nor\nglory .\nthe film - - the first feature - length film by robby henson - - is set in the remote cumberland mountains of kentucky . here , loyalties vary from homestead to homestead and the war is fought by roving bands of marauders interested not in lofty ideals , but food and shelter .\nas the riders approach , sarah and her young son ( will lucas ) attempt to hide their meager belongings , particularly a musket , a milk cow , and a photograph of the absent husband and father dressed in confederate gray .\nthe yankee detail finds it all anyway , but before they can leave , the youngest soldier , newt ( huckleberry fox ) falls on a hay fork and is critically wounded . the detail decides to hole up at the farm until newt is well enough to be moved .\nthe close quarters of the farmhouse force sarah and the captain to interact as they care for the injured man . slowly they begin to speak not as enemies , but as people . the capain eventually reveals that the war has taken on of his family members as well - - his wife .\nthe conflict between the rebel - hating troopers and the relationship between sarah and the captain , played out on a backtgrop of hunger and desperation , illustrates the personal wars that were fought away from the battlefield .\nthe sullen beauty of the cumberland mountains - - brooding sky , barren trees and muddy farm yard - - provides a haunting backdrop for the personal conflicts . henson , a native kentuckian , shows an understanding not only of the civil war , but of the physical and emotional terrain upon which it was fought .\ncooper and clarkson give their characters the depth they deserve , the ensemble cast of union troopers lend authenticity to the mission , and a cameo by kris kristofferson gives this small film a little extra star power .\non march 22 it will be screened in three areas of north carolina ; raleigh , durham , and chapel hill . other play dates will be booked through april .\nbut the best chance to see the film will be on video . it is scheduled to be released on cassette in may .\na kentucky native who got his filmmking education at new york university , henson has ancestors who fought on both sides of the war , though he wasn ' t aware of this past until he started doing documentary research .\nthe movie was shot quickly in the rainy spring of 1994 , on a budget of less than $ 500 , 000 , about half of it provided by government grants that no longer exist for filmmakers .\ni relied on having grown up around that countryside , so there were short cuts in finding locations ,\nhe said .\nwe picked a location that had the perfect creek , pasture and hillside , but there was no cabin or barn , so we had to bring those in . we relocated an existing log cabin , an authentic 200 - year - old cabin .\nwe really had a tremendous cast for a film that cost this little ,\nsaid henson .\ni ' ve got robert joy as the fourth or fifth lead in my cheap movie ! but actors will do something for love if the script is sufficiently character - driven .\nif you grow up around them , sinkholes are mysterious places ,\nhe said .\ni liked that title . but everyone outside of kentucky would look completely glassy - eyed if you mentioned it .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nduring the american civil war , two friends join the bushwhackers , a militant group loyal to the confederacy .\nwhen a posse captures three men suspected of killing a local farmer , they become strongly divided over whether or not to lynch the men .\na coach with a checkered past and a local drunk train a small town high school basketball team to become a top contender for the championship .\na former slave affects peace between native american tribes and homesteaders in 1860s around western texas .\na drama based on the experiences of kathryn bolkovac , a nebraska cop who served as a peacekeeper in post - war bosnia and outed the u . n . for covering up a sex trafficking scandal .\nin the future , a kickboxer and a robot lead a revolution against ruling cyborgs .\na wealthy american quaker woman rebels and marries a french baron for love . a plan to start a parisian salon with a distinctively democratic air brings conflict with her new surroundings . . . see full summary \u00bb\nset in california the story traces the intense summer romance between middle - class katie ( megan wilson ) and cute and very cool juvenile delinquent boyd ( brian vaughan ) .\ndoc jenkins is a singer / songwriter who tries to leave his singer / songwriter roots to be a music\nmogul\n, and gets tangled up in a bad publishing deal . he enlists a team of cronies , . . . see full summary \u00bb\nbrothers , sean and tommy donnelly live and work in modern day texas . tommy has always been troubled and sean has always been there to help him but when tommy gets himself $ 6 , 000 in debt . . . see full summary \u00bb\nno , it was not good . i like chris cooper very much , he is great in the patriot , he can do a great job , but here the whole film is so plodding , so gooey and so slow that yawns creep in almost immediately . i understand the intent of the director , but he failed . the tedious , slow , ineptly weak drama drags almost seemingly endlessly for 90 minutes , and even some shooting at the end does not revive this tomb of nature . bleak , vapid , bland and sepia - tinted tonality is miserable , the performance is at times basic of almost all other actors , and the whole thing is very very dull . i watched this film by force and self - discipline . it never helped , and even the very reality of the whole plot did not help to make this work a bit livelier . no , this one does not work , i am sorry , but this is my impression"]}

based material that can be engineered with specific elasticity , contractility , adhesion , tensile strength and occlusivity . xpl can be topically applied , rapidly curing at the skin interface without the need for heat - or light - mediated activation . in a pilot human study , we examined the performance of a prototype xpl that has a tensile modulus matching normal skin responses at low strain ( < 40 % ) , and that withstands elongations exceeding 250 % , elastically recoiling with minimal strain - energy loss on repeated deformation . the application of xpl to the herniated lower eyelid fat pads of 12 subjects resulted in an average 2 - grade decrease in herniation appearance in a 5 - point severity scale . the xpl platform may offer advanced solutions to compromised skin barrier function , pharmaceutical delivery and wound dressings .\nwe used head space solid phase micro -

based documentarian made run ricky run , a documentary about former saints and miami dolphins star ricky williams in 2010 for espn films ' popular series 30 for 30 . pamphilon approached gleason in the spring of 2011 about collaborating on a film and contributing to gleason ' s growing video archive \u2014 which the father -

time videographer . that summer , 22 - year - old ty minton - small , just out of college , responded to a craigslist ad and prepared for his first assignment : recording the birth of rivers varisco gleason .\ni ' m biased , but i have to say that ' gleason ' will break your heart and make it more whole than ever before ,\nduplass said .\nit will kill you and resurrect you with new life . it ' s hard to exaggerate the beauty and impact of this film .\n( l -

( yahoo ! sports reported at the time that the contract did not specifically prohibit either gleason or pamphilon from releasing audio or video prior to the completion of the film . )\nit was pamphilon , tweel says , who captured one of gleason ' s most devastating moments : the sight of michel crying on the banks of bayou st . john as gleason struggles to complete the last leg of their miniature\njazz fest triathlon ,\nfour months after his diagnosis .\nfor lee and minton - small , who ' d spent years caring for gleason , playing with rivers and helping michel around the house , gleason ' s gathering momentum came with mixed feelings . on the one hand , according to minton - small , it was exciting , after so many false starts , to see the film begin to crystallize . on the other , lee says , reconciling with new voices and viewpoints after being so close to the project was challenging .\n\u201cgleason\u201d centers on the former nfl player who revealed in 2011 that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis , also known as lou gehrig\u2019s disease . the disclosure came five years after gleason had memorably blocked a punt on the night the louisiana superdome reopened for the first time after hurricane katrina .\nby the time gleason entered post - production in march 2015 , the combination of gleason ' s worsening condition , the growing number of caretaking duties and the consistent presence of cameras had worn down this small\nentourage ,\nas michel calls it , until the idea of continuing seemed untenable .\nwith any luck the film will raise awareness for a horrendous disease , and it ' s well worth a watch for its honest portrayal of a man fighting back against tremendous adversity .\none night , while traveling with gleason and michel in peru , lee declined to film the former saints star being showered off after soiling himself , because he felt that doing so would have been\ncrossing some sort of line .\nminton - small also began to question whether it was appropriate to shoot footage of certain events .\nafter the film ended , there was silence . for michel , watching gleason was an\nout - of - body experience\n\u2014 nerve - wracking but ultimately cathartic . paul , on the other hand , was\ntaken aback\nby its raw , unflinching portrait of two people \u2014 husband and wife , patient and caretaker \u2014 facing the rapid advance of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( als ) , with which gleason was diagnosed in 2011 , while raising their young son , rivers .\nthis is the best documentary i have ever watched . steve gleason is an inspiration and a hero . his wife michel is amazing too . wow !\nthe documentary chronicles the heartbreaking and inspiring story of steve gleason , a gonzaga prep and washington state university alum who became a defensive back for the new orleans saints . gleason immortalized himself in team history in 2006 , when he blocked a punt the saint ' s first home game after hurricane katrina .\ngleason , who has relied on assistive technology known as augmentive / alternative communication ( aac ) since losing his ability to speak , needed only four words .\n\u201cgleason\u201d is incredibly frank about gleason\u2019s physical suffering and the toll his terrifyingly implacable physical deterioration takes on his marriage . while the director\u2019s vision never strays too far from the positive message that he and the gleasons doubtlessly wish to impart , the movie winds up being most effective at doing what cinema cannot avoid doing .\nwe had two guys pretty much living with us who would film any events we went to or any trips we went to ,\nvarisco said .\nand at the house , steve has a vision - he ' s got big vision - - and he would let them know what he wanted to film . . . . it became a part of our lives .\nit was the latest stop , but by no means the last one , on what has been a long , often difficult road for varisco , gleason and their little film that could . but as\ngleason\nprepares for a staged national rollout beginning july 29 , which is when it opens in new orleans , as well as in a handful of other select cities , including new york , los angeles , san francisco and seattle - - it ' s also one that has brought its own rewards .\nbut in january 2011 , when gleason called fujita from san francisco with the official diagnosis of als , the outlook was grim \u2014 so much so that fujita and former saints tight end eric johnson , both of whom reside in california , drove together to northern california to see gleason , taking him on a sunrise hike .\nhe film - making might not be particularly polished , but the subject matter of this documentary is wrenching . shortly after he retired from professional american football , steve gleason was diagnosed with als or motor neurone disease . this brutally candid film is partly an account of his response to the disease \u2013 he founded a charitable organisation to help other sufferers \u2013 and partly a collection of the messages he composed for the son who was conceived just after the diagnosis . the resulting movie is an unabashed tear - jerker that juggles themes such as religious faith , marital stress and the toilet - based indignities of the disease \u2013 the latter an earthy strand of humour as crucial for gleason and his family as it is for the audience .\nthe moment was the culmination of a process that had begun in october 2010 , when gleason , exhibiting the first symptoms of als . he decided to document his experiences in a series of video diaries . in time , the project evolved into a record for rivers , a fraught family album , a feature - length documentary and a sundance film festival selection , but at the time no one knew principal shooting on gleason had commenced \u2014 or that the tale of its making would be a compelling drama in its own right .\nit paid off . in january ,\ngleason\n- directed by clay tweel (\nmake believe ,\nfinders keepers\n) and featuring an original song by pearl jam ' s mike mccready - - made its debut at the prestigious sundance film festival . it was immediately embraced by those who saw it , with some declaring it an oscar contender .\ndespite the twists and turns of its long gestation , gleason is what gleason envisioned in october 2010 : a record , a document , of a family fighting through unimaginable circumstances to emerge , changed but closer than ever , on the other side . only now , audiences will be able to see that experience through their eyes .\nas lee and minton - small continued to collect new footage , gleason and michel entrusted culp and fujita with shepherding the film forward . in the coming months , the pair hashed out countless ideas over pizza and beer at culp ' s los angeles home , scrawling each one on whiteboard to see what stuck . they even formed a production company , dear rivers productions .\nif\ngleason\nmakes one thing clear , it ' s that living with als isn ' t easy . it ' s not easy for gleason , and it ' s not easy for varisco , who abruptly went from becoming her husband ' s travel partner on their globe - trotting adventure vacations to his full - time caretaker .\nhave you participated in a program or had a film in one of our festivals ? then you ' re part of our alumni community . learn about the on -

jig stomps . and to titillate grown - up listeners the musical allusions also pay homage to everything from purcell , stravinsky and britten to wagner\u2019s ride of the valkyries . with amar muchhala , wyn pencarreg and andrew slater revelling in mercurial cameos , and the conductor geoffrey paterson keeping this charming score buzzing along , two hours pass joyously .\nnow david bruce and glyn maxwell , composer and librettist , have realised the book ' s operatic potential in a captivating chamber piece for five singers , two puppeteers and small ensemble .\n. . . the same resourcefulness extends to the performers : five singers and an orchestra of nine . bruce uses an unusual band \u2013 including horn , accordion , harp and two percussionists \u2013 to create a wonderfully varied world that feels like many more players , and imitates the sounds of other instruments \u2013 banjo , gamelan orchestra \u2013 as well as the natural noises of the jungle . eastern scales and the hieratic sounds of temple bells complete the picture in an amazingly deft score , which finally lets itself off the leash for the firework show featuring a comedy german and italian , set to workshop - pastiches of wagner and neapolitan ice - cream music .\nbruce ' s vivid music , skilfully played by chroma and conducted by geoffrey paterson , mixes the colours of snake - charmer piccolo , gamelan and folk - inspired accordion to delicate effect . the vocal writing . . . . has moments of strong emotional truth .\na wonderful entertainment . . . . david bruce ' s score is a constant delight\nurltoken \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\na great introduction to opera for young people .\nthe stage \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\nat last : a first -

telling of the story , which will enhance pullman ' s wonderfully imaginative world in ways only opera can . the story has huge scope , taking in intimate personal moments - for example , lila ' s battle with her own self - belief as she struggles up the mountain ; contrasted with large operatic set pieces such as the fire - fiend ' s grotto and the elephant parade . topping it all of course , there will need to be musical fireworks , with lila ' s culminating ' display ' an extraordinary musical and visual climax . having set both a solar eclipse ( has it happened yet ? 2002 ) and childbirth ( push ! 2006 ) to music before , these are the kind of ' impossible ' musical challenges i relish\n.\nbruce ' s vividly coloured chamber score [ combines ] gamelan crashes and plunky pentatonics with the incongruous wheeze of an accordion to create a beguiling , imaginary hybrid of indo -

which , mirroring pullman\u2019s non - specific exotic setting , enchantingly combines eastern influences ( pentatonics and gamalan timbres ) with western folksiness ( an accordion supplies a salty tang ) . conductor alice farnham and chroma ensemble ensure plenty of zip .\nfor me - as i think for pullman - there is a direct connection between the sense of fantasy that can be created in the theatre and a sense of spiritual and moral questioning . in the theatre we allow ourselves to wonder - to question ' what if ' - and the question can sometimes be absurd or comical in nature , but other times be something much more profound . in a largely secular society , the theatre is one of the few places where we can still ask ourselves the big questions , and still feel wonder in all its aspects . my instinct as an artist is to set those big questions in a context that allows us to laugh , smile and relax . and this is one of the things that attracts me most about pullman ' s story - it contains both the absurd and fun elements that make theatre such a delight - talking elephants , a fire - fiend in a grotto , etc . - whilst at the same time making some fairly profound points about the creation of art , the need for self - expression , friendship , courage and love . to quote pullman again :\ningersoll , luther a . , ingersoll ' s century history santa monica bay cities , los angeles , 1908 , p . 352\nbruce has woven together scintillating timbres and scales from various \u2018oriental\u2019 traditions , be it chinese , indian and indonesian , in a crafty weave using bass , harp , violin , winds , accordion and well - chosen tuned percussion subtly realised by chroma ensemble . as he says himself , he\u2019s unashamedly interested in the \u2018surface\u2019 of the music , and this comes across in a teeming , tingling fantastical score that wittily references other operas ( a lovely wagner moment when the german firework - maker comes on , and a cod - neapolitan song for signor scorchio , his italian rival ) .\nlantern slide the furnace ( 1920 ) , julia crawford ivers ( w ) . cpldg\nwarning ! to get all of the features imdbpro offers , you must enable javascript .\nthe result was mesmerising , a simply brilliant piece of theatre which mixed a wide variety of media into a charming and dazzling whole . no wonder the audience was pleased .\nthis page is dedicated to the brickmakers who helped to build our cities and towns .\nthere are conflicting reports on authorship of a number of ivers\u2019 films . afi lists maclyn arbuckle and edgar a . guest as screenwriters on the reform candidate , while spehr lists her as screenwriter . afi lists alice von saxmar as a screenwriter on the stronger love , while spehr again lists ivers as screenwriter . fiaf lists ivers as the producer on the bond between , a kiss for susie , and lost in transit , while afi only lists her as the copyright holder . finally , the call of the cumberlands ( 1916 ) is believed to be directed by ivers , but is sometimes ascribed to frank lloyd .\n. . . bruce ' s nine - person instrumental ensemble included an interesting mix of instruments ( violin , bass , flute , clarinet , horn , accordion , harp and two percussionists ) , with a large amount of tuned percussion ( plus one or two imaginative touches such as crumpling plastic bags ) . his sound world evoked java , gamelan and the east ( the rough location of the production ) , without being slavish . his orchestrations were magical and the sound world highly evocative .\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\nsince my own childhood i have thought of the theatre as a colourful place of magic and fantasy and as i ' ve grown older i am still attracted to those same aspects -

and secondly , home - made ' folk ' instruments - pullman mentions that in his original production , a home - made ' gamelan ' was used on stage , made out of scrap metal . i have long had an interest in such home - made instruments - for example piosenki , my song - cycle of polish children ' s poems includes a 6 foot ' lagerphone ' made from bottle tops attached to a large pole - so the idea of revisiting pullman ' s original idea is very appealing to me .\n. . . . i devoured more than my own weight in maltesers , and loved it . . . . even better is david bruce\u2019s score , ingeniously coaxed from a nine - strong ensemble ( chroma ) that strongly features an accordion and lashings of chinese - opera style biffs and bangs in the percussion department .\nbetty compson ( a ) the green temptation ( 1922 ) julia crawford ivers ( w / d / p / o ) . momi\nhawkins , charles s . , fort point history , 1977 , p . 5 ;

i have had many hangovers . i would describe them the same way i would describe a maths test \u2014 some are easier than others but there\u2019s always a formula that can help you out !\nso i\u2019m stuck in this dilemma where i can\u2019t merely like both , but personally like the former more over the latter or visa - versa . i have to love one and hate the other . actually , forget that . i think they\u2019re both fine stories . i might not like edge of tommorrow as much as all you need is kill , but i\u2019m not going to hate it . no , i hate what edge of tomorrow stands for . it stands for hollywood , and hollywood sucks .\ninitially , my impressions of edge of tomorrow after having watched the film were fairly positive . for a plot that revolved around a time loop , it\u2019s always a congratulatory thing for such media to avoid demonstrable tedium , nicely paced and balanced between epic action spectacles and hilariously morbid slapstick .\nalcohol is of little or no interest to me . i drink with food and little more . it is not part of my social life . if i drank any less i would be teetotal . two pints of stout would render me insensible . wine is certainly my favourite tipple and i enjoy a glass with dinner but i am just as likely to drink a pint of milk .\nedge of tomorrow also enjoyed financial and critical success upon general reception . it made me excited , considering the movie was adapted from a light novel , from japan , of all things . what with ( at the time of this post\u2019s ) the recent theatrical releases of pacific rim and godzilla and an upcoming western live - action adaptation of monster , i was excited . i fervently hoped it opens the door for more mainstream western acceptance of the medium of anime . having said that , my feelings towards the film , or rather , the people who produced the film , who i will generally refer to collectively as hollywood , are now a lot more ambivalent after reading the manga for all you need is kill , which was also adapted from the same light novel .\non a scale of 1 to 10 ( with 10 being the most important ) , i reckon drink is a 2 for me . i\u2019d be perfectly fine without it and could easily not drink .\ni don\u2019t drink to get drunk , i actually like enjoying a beer every now and then . but then again , ask me on a hangover sunday and i will tell you i\u2019m never drinking again !\nan acupuncturist has since told me that my system is fire , and hence spirits fire me up too much . this i find to be true . still , my favourite drink is captain morgan , and the odd time i will drink it , just to enjoy the tomfoolery of being drunk . the next morning the cure is another drink . sometimes we can take life too seriously and getting drunk can be a great stress - buster .\ni would never drink the night before going on air , so it quickly became the norm and it never bothered me . i realised i could still stay out dancing and chatting and have a laugh , without the hangover !\ndo i ever get drunk ? honestly , not often enough for my age . i think it was the pain of hangovers that turned me off drinking regularly . my hangover cure would be orange juice , bacon and fresh air .\nbut i\u2019ll always try to ward off the hangover by having a pint of water beside me and i\u2019ll drink that . then i\u2019ll have my alka - seltzer , berrocca , and honey and lemon tea and just get on with the day .\nthe clich\u00e9 of bond\u2019s eternal survival and , more pertinently , his enemies\u2019 refusal to kill bond when such opportunity is presented , has become so established the audience rarely quibbles . simply taking the last three films : why doesn\u2019t koskov dispose of bond privately rather than jail him in afghanistan ? surely zorin could shoot bond and then burn down city hall ? ( zorin is a multiple offender ) . does kamal khan really need bond\u2019s company at dinner , and does the monsoon palace not have any cells ? hey , you roll with it . so ultimate respect for licence to kill for forging a narrative in which failure on bond\u2019s part wouldn\u2019t mean a twisted ear and a spot of dinner .\nnot a good candidate for this line of questions as i have been a pioneer since taking the pledge at 12 years of age . lucky me , as being in the hotel business means drink is readily available , so i may have had a weakness !\nwine is the devil when it comes to hangovers for me , so i avoid it at all costs . a lot of my days off are spent minding / chasing my nephews and nieces , so on those days a hangover is totally out of the question .\nactually , when you think about it the movie\u2019s ending is pure nightmare fuel , first of all , there is no guarantee that cage actually scaped the loop actually is heavily hinted that he got caught in an even worst one than the first time . also the war is still going at the end , which means they have to kill god - knows how many of those \u201cbrains\u201d .\nthe kids of this tomorrow are a lot cooler than the daggy country teens of the 2010 film ; kevin ( andrew creer ) , a true - blue country boy played in the film by the corn - fed lincoln lewis , now sports a man bun and a permanently pensive / moody expression . lee ( jon prasida ) , violinist son to vietnamese - australian restaurant owners , is now an aspiring electronic music producer .\ni drink far less than i used to in my twenties , i\u2019m happy to say . when i think of the hours i wasted talking gibberish ( and listening to it ) in the pub , i weep . i dislike being around drunks . they bore or frighten me .\na jaunty country - pop song tinkles over pastel - filtered shots of teens frolicking in the bush , gentle shots of ferns and rose petals\u2026 armed soldiers on watch , curls of barbed wire and overturned trucks set ablaze . by the time the bold , broken letters of the title card appear , i\u2019m confounded by the mixed messages . from the very beginning , the abc\u2019s tomorrow series employs tonal inconsistencies startling enough to give you whiplash .\na wonderful , non - judgmental doctor . he told me i\u2019d such an endless amount of creative energy that i needed to focus it , and channel it into my paintings . this i did and in doing so i drink less . i guess some drinks suit us and some drinks don\u2019t .\nalexus ' s depression is eating her alive . she longs for an escape from the prison of her life . one day she accidentally witnesses a mass murder and she soon finds that she might get exactly what she wished for . devastatingly handsome , artus is a vampire that relishes a good kill . his newest victim is a girl that saw what no human was meant to . to his surprise , she ' s recepti\nas i\u2019ve got older i have less of a taste for drink . since enda died 15 years ago i have lived on my own and so i would never take a drink on my own . the enjoyment of a drink for me is the chat , it\u2019s the to and fro with people .\ni wouldn\u2019t really use drink as a reward . i don\u2019t seem to get that same unwind from alcohol that i hear people talking about . if i was told i could never drink again today it really wouldn\u2019t bother me . if you took my coffee away though , that would be another story .\nperhaps the best example of the tonal discord is this : a key moment in the book involves ellie turning an unassuming ride - on mower into a deadly bomb . the bomb saves her and her friends from capture by the enemy ; it also kills two soldiers , one who , she notes , isn\u2019t much older than her . in tomorrow , they show the scene twice \u2013 at the end of the first episode , as a tense , well - crafted action scene , and to begin the second episode , where they replay it as a bit of fun pyrotechnics with some \u201chip\u201d , energetic electro - rock scored underneath , stripping the scene of its gravitas . this is the moment ellie realises that she will kill to protect herself \u2013 and worse , that she\u2019s naturally good at it \u2013 and this becomes yet another creative choice that begs the question : what were they thinking ?\n\u201cthis is in no way a sociological novel . it underlines no cause . it answers no programs , \u201d he said in a july 1960 review . \u201ccasually , on the side , as it were , \u2018to kill a mockingbird\u2019 is a novel of strong contemporary national significance . as such it deserves serious consideration . but first of all it is a story so admirably done that it must be called both honorable and engrossing . \u201d\nfar from impressed , fox\u2019s rivera tore in incredulously : \u201cthis is why i say hip - hop has done more damage to african - american youths than racism . \u201d kendrick responded on tmz live : \u201chow can you take a song that\u2019s about hope and turn it into hatred ? the overall message is \u2018we\u2019re gonna be alright . \u2019 it\u2019s not the message of \u2018i wanna kill people\u201d but would wait till \u201cdamn\u201d to lecture back elaborately .\nmy favourite drink is probably lager . but i drink everything . i drink red wine , white wine , gin , everything except whiskey . i think that whiskey , for me anyway , is too much of an emotional drink . whatever part of your brain whiskey taps into it\u2019s certainly not the crack .\nif somebody said to me today , for whatever reason , you can never drink alcohol again for the rest of your life , i wouldn\u2019t be upset . i would just say , \u2018ok , fine\u2019 . but if they said you could never have a piece of cake or chocolate ever again , i probably would cry .\nis there really a cure for hangovers ? i don\u2019t think so , and i don\u2019t think it\u2019s at the top of the medical agenda . but , for me , i always cure a hangover with brunch , lunch , food , anything i can eat really . i also think a good laugh with friends helps a lot !\nfrom spirited responses to police brutality and gang violence like \u201calright\u201d , \u201cthe blacker the berry\u201d and \u201csing about me\u201d , and black self - love anthems like \u201ci\u201d and \u201ccomplexion ( zulu love ) \u201d , to coming - of - age stories like \u201cfear\u201d , \u201ccartoons and cereal\u201d and \u201cmoney trees\u201d , kendrick\u2019s literary mantle stretches to the floor .\ni gave up drink at 17 . an older man , observing me take a flute of champagne at an rte reception \u2014 i was just about to present my first radio series \u2014 commented that i was planning to go into the two lines of business ( showbusiness and journalism ) which allowed you to be an alcoholic for free .\nlike most teetotallers , i swamp food in alcohol . my grand marnier souffle is to die for . and you might die waiting for it because i\u2019m too nervous to make it for others , too guilty to make it just for me , and the man in my life is contemptuous in roughly equal measure of souffles and grand marnier .\nif i\u2019m at a social occasion , you might see me being photographed with a glass of wine in my hand \u2014 nine out of 10 times i\u2019m holding that because i\u2019m not really sure what else to do with my hands . i think it\u2019s nice to use a prop . getting drunk is something that i have no interest in .\ni believe our drink culture is changing . i think we are becoming more european in our approach to drink . it\u2019s about moderation . our generation should be leading by example . it worries me that it is still acceptable for a teenager to drink in this country way before the legal age limit : it\u2019s like their rite of passage .\nthe only problem with that was how not drinking revealed how mind - bendingly boring most of the social events i had to be at were . so i stopped socialising , too . which got me out of smoke - filled pubs long before the smoking ban . saved money . giving up booze was a lifelong liberation in one easy move .\nsmall things annoyed me , like the disparate filming locations , which lack the specificity that would give wirrawee and its surrounds a real sense of place , and are guaranteed to rankle anyone with even basic knowledge of the victorian countryside ( the kids go from barwon heads , to clunes , to hanging rock in a fairly unconvincing space of time ) .\nafter a stellar 2015 at the australian box office ( with strong showings from mad max : fury road , the dressmaker , holding the man and paper planes ) , confidence in australian filmmaking is higher , and it seems a smart bet that young viewers will take to a locally produced teen drama as they have done with nowhere boys and ready for this . i\u2019m just not sure tomorrow , a series that misunderstands its target audience and fails to harness the distinctive voice of australian teen tv , is the best show to bet on .\nin tomorrow , ellie ( molly daniels ) , her best mate corrie ( the glorious madeleine madden ) and a group of friends set off from their small town , wirrawee , for a camping trip in the mysterious hell , an isolated , hard - to - reach pocket of the bush . while they are away , australia is attacked by a foreign power , and when the kids return to find their families captured by the invading army , they decide to fight back guerrilla - style , using their knowledge of the local landscape to their advantage .\nalexus suffers from acute depression after living a life full of abuse and heartache . her father and her older brothers thomas and brian were the worst offenders when it came to alexus\u2019 abuse . they tried to control every aspect of her life , tried to make her conform and fall in line . and now she wants to kill herself . she doesn\u2019t know how until she meets a vampire named artus who could easily bite her neck and drain her dry . things take a much different direction when artus can\u2019t bring himself t\nwhen \u201cmockingbird\u201d was published , several of the most inciting moments of the civil rights movement had yet to occur ; white supremacists had yet to kill four girls in a church bombing in birmingham , alabama , and the police brutality against the voting rights marchers of selma , alabama had yet to be televised . months before martin luther king , jr . gave his \u201ci have a dream\u201d speech on the steps of the lincoln memorial , gregory peck gave his acceptance speech for his portrayal of southern lawyer and moral compass atticus finch .\nmy drinking has changed . i really hate the feeling of being hung - over , so i try to limit what i drink when i go out . don\u2019t get me wrong , i\u2019m still happy on a night out when i go a bit crazy with my friends , but usually if i have had a really long day at work i will have a glass of wine with a friend .\nyet no villain matches sanchez for menace . if he uncovered bond , he would kill bond . simple as that . not quite \u2018why don\u2019t you just shoot him\u2019 because sanchez wouldn\u2019t just shoot him . he\u2019d exact a far nastier retribution . but exact it he would . no locking bond in a windowed room , no escorting bond round the pad and feeding him dinner , no leaving bond in a perilous situation and then departing for tea . if sanchez wanted bond dead , bond would be killed . thoroughly . such ruthlessness is refreshing and admirable on the writers\u2019 behalf .\ni think drink can affect me actually quite quickly because i am quite slight . i can\u2019t afford to get out of control . i don\u2019t think i have that much tolerance for alcohol because i\u2019m not that used to it . i never want to get myself into that position . i don\u2019t like it . i suppose i\u2019m really busy as well . i don\u2019t have time to have a hangover the next day .\ni try to drink water during a night out because i do get quite bad hangovers . for me the hangover cure , depends on the level of the hangover . i would sleep as long as i could because sleep is the only thing to cure a hangover . but when you\u2019re hung - over you never sleep in , so i would usually be up about 9 . 30am and i\u2019d have bacon and eggs on toast .\nalexus ' s depression is eating her alive . she longs for an escape from the prison of her life . one day she accidentally witnesses a mass murder and she soon finds that she might get exactly what she wished for . devastatingly handsome , artus is a vampire that relishes a good kill . his newest victim is a girl that saw what no human was meant to . to his surprise , she ' s receptive to the idea of him draining her dry . even more surprising is the dawning realization that he doesn ' t want to . a novel of the some by day , some by night series .\nlike the resulting film , the pre - credits is woefully underrated \u2013 perhaps \u2018ignored\u2019 is a more accurate term . ( at least people take the time to slag the film off . ) licence to kill doesn\u2019t have a true beginning . we burst into the middle of several stories : felix\u2019s wedding , lupe\u2019s lover and the dea pursuit of sanchez , all separate yet fatally intertwined . this is rather brilliant narrative economy , setting up the whole film in barely ten minutes . we know sanchez is a big deal because felix ditches his own wedding ; we realise this might be the climax of a long and arduous chase .\nbetween from russia with love , goldfinger and the spy who loved me , connery and moore shared three films both great and personally definitive . each perfectly showcase their actor\u2019s vision of bond . ( connery being connery , he made two : the gritty and the flashy . ) a signature film is rare . brosnan never quite managed it , craig hasn\u2019t yet \u2013 both wonderful bonds but neither produced a masterpiece that could only be their masterpiece .\nand you know what ? i was actually fine with these changes . i\u2019m of the belief that adaptations don\u2019t have to follow their source materials that strictly . it\u2019s not like edge of tomorrow didn\u2019t have its own strengths , most notably present in the two main characters not being overpowered as all hell . to be honest , i\u2019m well . i really am so long as they follow them at least in some general spirit . it might not stand up as hot to some other iteration , but movies in general should be judged by their own merits . and through it all , as aforementioned , they made a pretty well executed and pretty entertaining movie in the end .\nwhile he places his name among the genre\u2019s immortals , nas , pac and eminem , in the ungenerous verse , his ambition overlaps hip - hop . speaking on \u201cto pimp a butterfly\u201d , he said he wanted the album to be talked about \u201cthe way bob dylan or the beatles or jimi hendrix are talked about . when my time has come on earth , i want it to live longer than me , for the grandkids and their kids . \u201d\nwell , rip out my heart and shove it down my neck , this adaptation ripped the soul out of the source material . never mind not keeping the themes , the movie didn\u2019t even keep the source material\u2019s general tonal orientation . the movie ends with everyone surviving , the world being saved , and the guy likely getting the girl . cliche , sure , but not egregious to me . the manga , on the other hand , ends in tragedy .\ni live in small town north carolina and i enjoy writing adult novels of varying genres . music is a huge part of my life . it inspires me to write and there is always a song in my head and in my heart . dreams also influence my work tremendously . if i ' m not writing an exciting story , i am certainly reading one ! i like to escape in books to worlds beyond reality , and create my own worlds as well . i ' m a\ni never feel hung - over after a night out , so i continue as normal with my day . my rule is that if i do have a few drinks , it can\u2019t affect my ability to function the following day . that\u2019s where drinking lots of water and drinking moderately is the best approach for me . i feel that drinking starts to become a problem when it affects your brain and body the next day . i really enjoy a glass of champagne on special occasions , though .\nif i did drink , i\u2019d never drink gin because gin drinkers age quickly and gin drinkers who smoke develop a powdered pumice - stone look like a battered prehistoric statue . i\u2019d never drink stout because my uncle dermot introduced me to it at christmas when i was six and i\u2019m still not fully over it , because i expected it to taste of chocolate with cream on top and it so didn\u2019t . i might go for cider , because one of the women i most admire is a cider drinker .\nnow the internet is a one - stop shop for tv from around the world , it\u2019s much easier for teen audiences to find entertainment that works for them beyond the 5 . 30pm slot on abc kids . if you like adult - skewing shows about shirtless paranormal hunks , or a series with a razor focus on youth mental illness or a saccharine musical comedy , there is an abundance of options online . creating a more traditional teen drama , like ready for this or degrassi \u2019s new netflix incarnation , next class , can therefore be a gamble . as tv\u2019s growing accessibility allows teenagers to explore more diverse viewing options , how does an earnest , younger - skewing series like tomorrow fare among the myriad delights that age up content and cater for every ya niche ?\nmanagement : unlike more formal entries , this post is just me kind of freewheeling some hate i\u2019ve worked up on something or other . i intend they be civil , but they are rants . they are demonstrably more passionately accusatory towards something or someone , but the points i\u2019ll make will at least be coherent . i won\u2019t do these on a regular basis . they\u2019ll just spontaneously spring to life one day in a conversation , and i\u2019d rather at least the reasonableness , if not the rhetoric , of my sentiments aren\u2019t forgotten .\ndon\u2019t get me wrong \u2014 on a very special occasion it\u2019s nice to have a big night out , but i do everything possible to avoid a dreaded hangover the next day . i have noticed a major difference in my skin and body since i cut my alcohol intake . i feel so much better about myself . alcohol is one of the worst factors for cellulite , plus it dehydrates you . i like taking care of myself , my body , and my skin . dehydration is one of the major causes of wrinkles .\ni never drink before i go on stage because i think i was always warned against it . all the older comedians warned me : \u2018never get into the habit of drinking before you go on stage . . . we got into the habit of it and we all ended up with problems . it became a crutch . \u2019 i never drink before i go on stage , except for maybe coffee and water , but after a show you\u2019ve got this huge adrenalin high and there\u2019s no way you could go home and watch netflix .\nbut what worries me the most , both in the movie and the manga , is that apparently as long as a \u201cbrain\u201d ( or \u201cserver\u201d as they\u2019re called in the manga ) exist , the \u201clooper\u201d can\u2019t scape the loops and will go back whenever he dies , which means that even if they manage to clear the earth of brains / servers , surely somewhere on the universe there are more of them . and the main character goes back regardless of how they die , which means you can\u2019t scape even by winning the war and dying from old age .\ni was drunk once , almighty drunk . it was in athlone . i can\u2019t remember everything . all i remember is how bad i felt the next day . i vowed that never again would i do that . i think i was in my thirties \u2014 it was a festival occasion . i don\u2019t know what made me do it but it\u2019s the only time ever and i can remember the feeling of not being in control of myself and then i remember feeling so rotten the next day . but i never again felt like that . no , thank god !\neven though i consider myself someone who does not drink often , i feel it takes a good amount for me to get drunk . i have been told i handle my liquor well . i never ever like being sloppy , so i know what my limits are and i don\u2019t cross them . there is a difference between having fun and just being plain trashy and sloppy . it\u2019s one of my biggest pet peeves . don\u2019t be that girl with filthy barefeet waiting on a cab because your feet hurt from heels and you\u2019re too drunk to stand ! no . no .\nwentz says ,\ni was talking to a very old friend of mine in the northwest about the book , saying i needed to get some blurbs together and she told me she

\u201d \u2013 and my word . of the many , many , many unpleasant deaths flaunted throughout the bond series , literally popping someone\u2019s head in a decompression chamber is surely the worst of the lot . krest screams , his head swells like a balloon , then explodes . give me piranhas any day . if anybody can nominate a more hideous demise the floor is yours .\ni have no idea [ how we do it ] , but it all somehow keeps happening ,\nwentz says .\nmaybe because i don ' t know how to do anything else and the alternative is transience . we just work on all of it at the same time , letting the mediums bleed into one another . i prefer it that way . . . . i had fairly severe insomnia growing up , but it seldom hits me now . if it does and it ' s bad , my brain begins composing several

the feeling of being drunk , and i couldn\u2019t tell you the last time i actually got drunk . i have a very clear switch - off button , so the minute i feel tipsy , i move straight on to the water

as i am to leave the car at home and have a few drinks . again , i can\u2019t remember the last time i had a hangover either . i don\u2019t drink wine because i find it quite sugary , or cocktails ,

based dramatic science fiction indie film about the possible existence of an afterlife . the film hits theaters this week and its not the type of movie that is an easy sell from watching a trailer ( in fact , the trailer gives away far too much , but this is coming from someone who feels the first sentence of this post probably reveals too much already ) . after walking out of the movie , i had a lengthy conversation with a few journalist friends about the film . one thing i said was i\u2019d love to see a film which shows a continuation of this story and the implications it may have ( the film has a scene during the credits that points in this direction ) . as it turns out , i origins was actually written as a prequel .\ni rarely write reviews here , but as a fan of science fiction , i am compelled to warn potential viewers about this movie . in the first half of the movie i was able to suspend disbelief and enjoy the ride , but eventually the movie became\nspiritual\n. this not necessarily a bad thing , but it is not handled well at all here . i expect that any true science fiction fan will also be sorely disappointed , but those who need their religious views supported will probably find the movie enjoyable .\nalmost too ambitious for it ' s own good ,\ni origins\npulls off the impossible in creating this belief that human eyes can be produced through science and that they have a way of regenerating and used by life and death as they are passed on . most of the film will be scientific mumbo jumbo to viewers who do not have an open mind for stories such as this , but i opened my mind as much as i possibly could , resulting in a perfectly flawed film . i do not believe this has ever happened to me before . i fell in love with this film right from the start , and by the end i was in tears , but most of the events in between , you kind of just have to go with . each scene in this film sets up the next scene and the scene after that , and so on , but you really have to be intrigued in order to fully appreciate the story at hand .\ni origins\nis one of the most flawed films of 2014 , because the sole beliefs about the human eyes is what keeps the film moving along , and if you do not buy into it you will have a pretty depressing viewing experience . although it is extremely flawed by it ' s premise , it kind of finds the right groove and creates something beautiful . after reading this you may not expect me to say this , but\ni origins\nis one of the best films of 2014 . thought -

- an obvious ploy to undercut the film ' s run in the theatres .\nand the aftermath ? shihan hussaini , karate exponent par excellence , film artiste , television actor and head of a high profile security firm - - named , appropriately enough , high profile - - is hired to provide security for the film in which the above dialogue appears .\nhis people flood madurai and other parts of tamil nadu , to seek out pirated videos of the film . posters appear all over town , threatening action against any cable operator airing the film , and asking the public to report instances of such screenings .\nmeanwhile , in every theatre screening the film , a hussaini - provided security guard lives , eats and sleeps on the premises , mounting a 24 - hour vigil over the print in order to prevent further copying .\nin front of the three theatres showing the film in madurai , goons gather , to harass legitimate theatre - goers . once the film fans run their gauntlet and seek to enter the theatres , they are stopped by the police who claim they have bought their tickets in black and are subjected to further harassment .\nhussaini ' s men approach the local cops . who refuse to register their complaints . hussaini approaches the anti - piracy cell in madras . the commissioner is , he is told , ' unavailable . ' the junior officers say they cannot do anything without the commissioner ' s say - so . in other words , a stalemate .\nmeanwhile , the owners of three theatres in madurai which screen the film in question are told by officials to pull the film out - - or face action from tax authorities and such .\nthe muvender munnetra kazhagham , a socio - political outfit in madurai , jumps into the fray . their cadres arrive en masse at the theatres to protect the citizens from harassment .\nthreatening calls are received by the private hospital run by dr sethuraman , head of the mmk .\nwe will plant bombs in your hospital if you do not end the opposition ,\nthe doctor is told by anonymous voices .\nthe mmk head promptly announces that his cadres will buy tickets in bulk and flood the theatres , filling the seats to defeat the attempts to end the film ' s run .\ncut and thrust , action and riposte -

territory rate that no one will disclose , but which , the industry agrees , is the highest price ever paid , outdoing even a rajnikanth film in this regard .\ntell each other in hushed tones , that a film has commanded such a high price on the strength of the director ' s name alone .\nthe film deals with politics and politicians . and with how one man , with his heart in the right place , can upset the political applecart , and bring about change for the better .\nthe buzz around town is that the dravida munnetra kazhagham , now ruling tamil nadu , is upset with the film . that in the view of the dmk , the film suggests its rule is even worse than that of aiadmk supremo j jayalalitha - - who , significantly ( remember that dialogue ? ) , has cases of malfeasance amounting to rs 300 - plus crore pending against her name .\nthat raghuvaran , who plays a venal chief minister and whose dialogue is delivered in a raspy voice , was taking off on state cm muthuvel karunanidhi ( having seen the film , this reporter begs to differ - - but that is another matter , for another time ) .\nand therefore , it is the ruling party that is now backing attempts to defeat the film by any and all means at their disposal .\ninterestingly , while the tamil nadu ruling party reportedly views the film as an attempt to slur their ' thalaivar , ' in neighbouring andhra pradesh , the reaction is the polar opposite . in andhra pradesh , thus , arjun - - who by force of circumstance becomes chief minister for a day and who , in those 24 hours , manages to do enough good to create a public outcry demanding that he enter active politics and take over as chief minister for good , is seen as a mirror image of chandrababu naidu .\nthus , the andhra chief minister invites director shankar as his special guest , requests a special screening of the film and lauds the ideals the director has expressed in his film .\n- - is already declared a hit in andhra , and gathering even more momentum on the wings of positive publicity .\nthe furore continues unabated . and , in the process , brutally spotlights a problem that has had the tamil nadu film industry reeling for a while now .\nthat video piracy is rife in various parts of the country is a given . that nowhere else has it reached the levels obtaining in tamil nadu , is unarguable .\nand saw it become a superhit - - sought to introduce his son ebby opposite simran , one of the most saleable female stars of tamil cinema .\na highlight of the film is a dance sequence which reportedly cost rs 1 crore to film , featuring karisma kapoor as an alien from another planet .\nthe film has been lying , complete in every way , in the cans for almost a year now , with no buyers in sight . however , word is that your friendly neighbourhood video parlour will provide you with a video cassette ( with the title of some old , black and white film on its spine by way of camouflage ) , in case you don ' t have the patience to wait for the day , if ever , that the film hits the marquee .\ndirected by v c ramani , the film has mammootty , napoleon and nasser in lead roles , the last named playing a character based on sandalwood smuggler veerappan .\nsixty days before the film ' s scheduled release on april 14 , tamil new year ' s day , the video was out in the market and being openly aired .\nwhy just cable operators ?\nasks director ramani , speaking to\non the telephone from madras , says ,\neven video coaches were showing the film .\nhe adds ,\nmy film was badly affected , absolutely . a film ' s fate used to be classified in three categories - - hit , mediocre and flop . these days , there are only two categories - - hit or flop .\nthe reason , according to the director , is simple enough .\ngenerally , a film takes three , four weeks to build the kind of momentum that makes it a hit . it takes that long for word - of - mouth to spread and the general audience to begin flocking to the theatres . but if , within a week of release or even earlier , the video is freely available , then the film is generally dead and buried by the third week itself .\nhis logic is that cinegoers are of two kinds . the hardcore fans , who go to see their favourite stars and who , thus , contribute what in the trade is called the ' initial , ' and the average cinegoer , who is not particularly hooked on any star , but who will go to the theatre if the reports filtering through are good .\nit is this second type of moviegoer who gives the film legs , and makes it run the proverbial mile - - but if he can see the film on his local cable network , then chances are he won ' t bother to make the trip to the theatres .\nwhat really hurts ,\nsays ramani , now recovering from a more real hurt - - an injury through accident - -\nis that making a film is a creative process involving the hard work of many different people . an entire team contributes its ideas , skills , into making a film - - and then someone comes along and quite simply , steals all that work , that creativity . . .\nand that , in sum , is what is happening in tamil nadu . it is a situation that has the industry in a ferment and which has created an atmosphere of suspicion and mistrust that has touched some of the biggest names in the industry .\nthe reported case of k balachander , acknowledged doyen of tamil nadu film - makers , is an instance in point . balachander ' s son is working on a documentary on movies , and as part of his project , decides to film audiences in a real live theatre and their response as a movie is in progress .\na film starring vijay and isha koppikar . vijay , in tamil nadu , goes under the sobriquet chinna rajni - - little rajni - - a pointer to the fact that he is seen in the industry as the heir apparent to superstar rajnikanth ' s mantle .\nbalachander ' s son , sitting in the projection room , films the audience reaction . meanwhile , word reaches s a chandrasekhar - - father of vijay and a director in his own right - - that balachander ' s son was seen illicitly video - taping the movie , supposedly with a view to piracy .\nthe resultant storm assumes ugly proportions . k balachander , hugely upset that anyone would think he - - the man who , in his time , set standards for the industry and who introduced , among others , kamal hassan , rajnikanth , sridevi , jayaprada and chiranjeevi to filmdom - - was capable of such a petty act , announces he will henceforth not appear at any film function .\nthat particular episode has now cooled off , with both parties reportedly clearing up their misunderstanding . by way of aside , vijay is slated to appear in a film under balachander ' s kavithalaya banner , a very visible sign of the\nthat those found indulging in video piracy , or caught in the act of screening pirated films , will be proceeded against under the terms of the goondas act .\nare reportedly circulating in tamil nadu . balakrishna pictures , which bought the distribution rights for the madurai - ramanathapuram territory , has lodged a complaint .\nbut for the law to take its course , the police have to take cognizance of the complaint , and act . and that , at least in madurai , in the case of\ncopyright disclaimer under section 107 of the copyright act 1976 . all the songs at starmusiq . com are for listening purposes only . making duplicate audio cd ' s from mp3 files is illegal . allowance is made for\nfair use\n. therefore please kindly support us by buying original version of audio cd ' s from your local retailer . all the rights are reserved to the audio company . the owner of this website cannot held liability for any illegal usage of the contents . any disclaimer , please click here to contact us .\nclick on the menu icon of the browser , it opens up a list of options .\nhere click on the \u201cprivacy & security\u201d options listed on the left hand side of the page .\na pop up will open with all listed sites , select the option \u201callow\u201c , for the respective site under the status head to allow the notification .\nonce the changes is done , click on the \u201csave changes\u201d option to save the changes .\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . this includes cookies from third party social media websites and ad networks . such third party cookies may track your use on filmibeat sites for better rendering . our partners use cookies to ensure we show you advertising that is relevant to you . if you continue without changing your settings , we ' ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on filmibeat website . however , you can change your cookie settings at any time . learn more\nwe ' ve detected that javascript is disabled in your browser . would you like to proceed to legacy twitter ?\ntwitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup . try again or visit twitter status for more information .\nyou can add location information to your tweets , such as your city or precise location , from the web and via third -

cutter norm that we have come to accept with some animated films . because of this , it possesses a degree of unpredictability which proves to be original and much more enjoyable . the voice acting is terrific , and the action scenes are fun and the film ' s versatility to all age ranges cannot go unnoticed . this is a stellar , near -

musical music box being hunted by various parties , with the saint trying to keep it out of their hands long enough to figure out what makes it valuable enough to kill . this was a bit shorter movie -

drawer eight ! available ( coupled with\nthe saint ' s vacation\n) on an excellent warner archive dvd .\ngeorge sanders shall always be my favorite saint ( followed a distant second by roger moore in the 60s and warren william while on break from perry mason ) , yet hugh sinclair ' s portrayal is not too far off and fits well with my 30 ' s - 40 ' s collection of crime - solving amatuers and pro ' s , alike . the saint ' s vacation is closer to the sanders version while tiger seems a bit too thin and likely ended sinclair ' s saint career . yet , i ' ll likely watch them both as often as my favorites !\ntranslates to ' the saint lies in wait ' in english . this film was not distributed in any english - speaking country .\nthe saint meets the tiger is the second film rko made in britain with a british cast with hugh sinclair in the title - role . the plot is a familiar one : the saint ( hugh sinclair ) travels down to cornwall to uncover a smuggling plot involving in which one million pounds of gold will leave the country . what makes this thriller worth watching , however , is its incidental pleasures : although much of it is shot in the studio , with quite obviously phony backgrounds , there are occasional sequences shot on location in cornwall , where we get an authentic impression of what british seaside life was like during the middle of world war ii . there are some notable performances from wylie watson as horace , the saint ' s faithful butler with a penchant for listening to gangster thrillers on the radio . when he is drawn into the action he takes every opportunity to assume the tough - guy role , pointing his loaded pistol at the villains . the eponymous tiger / tidemarsh ( clifford evans ) comes across as a very clever mastermind - on the one hand he is more than willing to look after pat holm ( jean gillie ) and ensure that she comes to no harm ; on the other hand he shows his true nature while trying to deal with his gang . the members of said gang are cleverly delineated , ranging from crooked financier lionel bentley ( dennis arundell ) , whose facial expressions seldom change , even when he is holding the saint at gunpoint ; to bittle ( charles victor ) , a tough - guy with an accent combining south african clipped vowels and a chicago twang . needless to say they are outwitted at the end , leaving the saint to walk off into the sunset with pat on his arm , but one has to admire their ambition .\nan enigmatic gang leader known as\nthe boss ,\nwho is a dead - ringer for simon , puts\nthe saint\nunder suspicion of murder .\nthe saint meets the tiger\nfeatures competent british acting circa 1940 ' s but is just not up to the high expectations you might have after seeing the george sanders\nsaint\nseries . there is nothing really wrong with hugh sinclair ' s acting but it seems he would be more suited for one of those tough british wartime roles as a heroic commander or something like that . he is more in the strong military or policeman mold rather than the suave saint type as personified by the smooth , charismatic sanders . jean gillie is cute and youthfully energetic as the female lead and does a fine job of perking up this movie . the overall story is outstanding as the saint is on the trail of a crime ring and coyly infiltrates the inner workings of a small coastal town to look for stolen gold . i don ' t regard this movie as slow , but you could consider it methodical and geared for mystery / crime fans , and competently directed and plotted to showcase the well - conceived story . if you are expecting an example of beautiful 1940 ' s black - and - white cinematography you won ' t find it here . the movie seems more\ngrey - and - white\n, at least the print of it i saw on tv . a shame . die - hard saint fans should be satisfied as the movie seems to make a great effort to remain true to its book - series roots .\nthe criminal - turned - sleuth finds a dying man whose last words provide a clue to the whereabouts of the loot from an unsolved gold robbery . following the trail to a cornish village , he is drawn into a showdown with a criminal mastermind known as the tiger , who has a plan to smuggle the ill - gotten gains out of the country . detective adventure , starring hugh sinclair and jean gillie .\nthe supporting cast is mostly weak , though jean gillie isn ' t bad as the love interest , and charles victor has a fair scene in which he tries to frame the saint for murder .\nafter a two - year gap , rko continued its wildly inconsistent saint series with this feeble story of smuggled ingots and worthless gold - mine shares . hugh sinclair is simply dreadful as simon templar in a cheapskate mystery directed by paul stein , an austrian who spent 25 years churning out insignificant programme fillers in both britain and hollywood . the studio bosses were so embarrassed by this penultimate film in the series , that they passed it to poverty row company republic to distribute in the usa . the sole interest comes from the fact that the tale was based on leslie charteris ' s first saint novel . eleven years later , louis hayward - the original saint in 1938 was tempted back to the role for the final film in the series , the saint ' s girl friday .\nover in europe , dunstan meets a jesuit priest named padre blazon , an eccentric whose attitudes on religious are devout but questioning . through long conversations , he encourages dunstan to become more active in his own life , and to embrace his natural dark side .\nthe eighth and final saint film from rko . well , technically it was released here by republic but it was produced by rko two years earlier and sat on the shelf while the studio worked out its legal issues with saint creator leslie charteris . it ' s also the worst movie of the series , although still perfectly watchable . the plot has the saint up against a villain called the tiger . that ' s pretty much all you need to know to realize this isn ' t going to be much more than a generic programmer . returning as the saint is charmless hugh sinclair . his comic relief sidekick this time is valet horace , played by wylie watson . he ' s an improvement over the last sidekick but not by much . pretty jean gillie is the would - be love interest pat holmes . apparently this character was a bigger deal in the saint books but is just now making an appearance in this series . gillie does a fine job and arguably has the most personality of anyone in the cast . but her banter and romance with the dull sinclair is never very believable or interesting . everything is very 1940s british , staid and mannered and leisurely paced . the story isn ' t particularly strong but they shove enough humor and action in to keep it your interest .\nval kilmer stars as simon templar , alias the saint . elisabeth shue stars as the leading lady . other cast members include valery nikolaev , rade serbedzija , and evgueni lazarev .\ni became a saint fan in my teens and collected all the books eventually up to about 1980 but this one was one of the hardest to get - no internet then .\ni have really enjoyed watching the saint movies today . simon templar has been so busy catching the bad guys . love too see charlie chan , boston blackie , . . .\nthis movie is fast on action as the saint finds out about stolen gold from a man murdered on his door step . it has low budget rko written all over it during this wartime release . because of this , there was no follow up to what could have enriched this film series . that is the addition of jean gillie as a love interest for the saint . this is her only time as pat holme who is a character in the novels . it actually looks at times that there are some real sparks between her hugh sinclair who is taking his second turn as the saint here . this followup to the saint takes a vacation is actually a pretty much standard detective film other than that . because of a dispute between the creator of the saint , leslie charteris and rko , this movie completed filming in june , 1941 and was not released until 1943 . it is also rko ' s last actual saint production as rko ' s the saint returns was actually produced by britains hammer productions . sadly jean gillie would die a few years later on pneumonia at age 33 .\na highly entertaining movie - adaption of the first adventure of simon templar ! hugh sinclair performs for the second time as\nthe saint\nand gives a nice performance . great plus of this movie - adaption ( presented in very good picture - quality ) is the appearance of templar ' s love - interest pat holm ( she appears only in this movie ) and templar ' s butler horace . and we can watch how\nthe saint\nuses his infamous knife ! that ' s very rarely seen . because of that this dvd is a great addition for your personal\nthe saint\n- collection ! thanks to\nodeon entertainment\nfor releasing the\nsaint\n- movies !\nultra lightweight movie almost floats away . jean gillie is fine as pat holm ( borrowed from the very early saint novels ) , but hugh sinclair suffers compared to the more magnetic george sanders and lacks the vocal charm of vincent price ' s radio saint . one of the appealing things about the simon templar character was the suspicion that he was only on the side of the good guys for as long as it would prove profitable . none of this comes through in this republic effort , though the production values are reasonably high .\nwhen boy , as head of colborne ' s board , asks dunstan to step down after the war , dunstan asks for a sabbatical , and with it travels to mexico to conduct some saint research . there , he meets paul again . paul has excelled even more as a magician , and has re - branded himself as magnus eisengrim . his show amazes dunstan . he spends time with the troupe at the behest of liesl , the bearded lady who manages the show ' s finances . she is a brilliant woman , and commissions dunstan to write a fictional biography of the great magician .\ni enjoyed this saint double - feature and expect to do so again in future . the stories move along briskly ( at just 61 and 69 minutes long , respectively ) , the actors are all very capable , and there ' s plenty of excitement and humor . hugh sinclair is no george sanders , and i much prefer the latter in the role of the saint , but mr . sinclair isn ' t bad and he has two pretty solid screenplays to work with . in fact , the stories are better than those for a number of the george sanders\nsaint\nfilms , so these hugh sinclair ones are worthwhile viewing . recommended for fans of\nthe saint\n, british classic films , and light murder mystery or crime capers .\n( in the south of france , the saint thwarts a new plot by greta morgan , who steals famous paintings and threatens to destroy them unless insurance companies pay her ransom money . )\nat the geographer\u2019s suggestion , the little prince visits earth , but he lands in the middle of the desert and cannot find any humans . instead , he meets a snake who speaks in riddles and hints darkly that its lethal poison can send the little prince back to the heavens if he so wishes . the little prince ignores the offer and continues his explorations , stopping to talk to a three -

he ' s charming and competent enough the plot is weak like most saint movies . i don ' t care really as long as the dialog entertains , and it does . i admit to having a real love for the early saint movies for their totally relaxing experience - the violence is comic when there is violence , and you always just assume the saint will manage to come out alive . even though the violence is comic , the body count is high in this movie . heck , i can ' t even remember how many people get killed ( or one assumes their wounds are fatal . ) i would say , if you liked the sanders saint movie , this one might appeal to you . if you like comic - mysteries from this era and don ' t mind weak plots you will like this . i think most people just have to like jean gillie here , what ' s to not like ?\ni enjoyed the clever way the original stories are re -

shot saint films they kept the second from u . s . screens for two years after\naltogether not too bad a saint entry , the big problems being it was low budget and the annoying decomposition of the film when the ' 50 ' s tv dupe was made . unfortunately this can give you the feeling that by mistake you ' re watching dick barton , another ( ultra ) cheapo british sleuth series i like . i take it the original is lost ? to make up for it they did their british best with some atmospheric sets , nice templar repartee and a competent story . i haven ' t seen this film for over 20 years now or read meet the tiger for over 30 but it seemed familiar ie faithful to charteris ' s first saint story written in 1929 . i can ' t remember inspector teal in it however but all of the stalwart british cast work well together in an effective potboiler . the incidence of a man murdered on the saint ' s doorstep leads him and valet ( mr memory from the 39 steps ) - and teal - to a nest of savage gold smugglers in a quaint english seaside town . there ' s a pretty frank love interest and many twists and turns and multiple plot lines going on to keep you guessing how it will all turn out , although if you know your saint you know the ultimate outcome with the opening titles . hugh sinclair was not my idea of simon templar - he was chunkily adequate - but at this distance i wish he ' d gone on to make a dozen or so more i ' d yet to see ! so , imho well worth watching for fans and completists alike , especially if you can get over the bad condition of the print .\nthis entry begins with an intriguing opening -

s toughest fishermen : tuna wranglers . the mighty southern ocean has long been a shipping graveyard , with monstrous waves powering across the remote seascape . but each year , the fishermen take up a unique challenge : to spend two months rounding up , caging and dragging home millions of dollars worth of live southern bluefin tuna to fatten up , and sell to the lucrative japanese market .\nmany of the southern bluefin tuna raised by australia\u2019s aquaculture industry end up at the tsukiji market in tokyo , japan .\nso i ' m flipping through the channels and land on the discovery channel . some show called tuna wranglers . i settle in and listen to them describe one of their jobs , you will not believe it . apparently , sharks love to get into tuna nets . the tuna nets are these giant nets that are positioned in the ocean . the nets are static and just sit there for a while , until they fill up with tuna . anyways , how do you think these tuna wranglers get the sharks out ? these crazy - looney - stark - raving - mad people jump into the nets and wrestle the sharks . that ' s right , man vs sharks . the sharks are approximately the same size as the man , give or take a hundred pounds here or there . usually it is two men vs one shark but occassionally it is one on one . these men ( and i thought i was manly ) grab the sharks by the torso , then pull up on their snouts , and manhandle the sharks forcing them out of the nets . i ' m watching these crazies right now . in a word . holy f - ing shit batman ! has anyone seen this show ?

pretty interesting stuff .\ni agree tuna wranglers is a bit of an over the top american documentary , but you should suss out the award - winning kiwi doco made for the national geographic channel , tuna cowboys , as it is far more down to earth . southern bluefin stocks are still depleted in aussie waters , but strict quota levels are seeing them slowly beginning to recover . i ' ve worked as a commercial fisherman , as well as being a recreational angler , and it ' s the latter that needs more regulation because at present there is little information availble on how many sbt are taken by rec anglers . a pdf you might find interesting . urltoken\ntoday , tuna aquaculture is one of australia\u2019s fastest growing sectors ; about 15 tuna ranching companies operate in south australia , bringing in between $ 114 and $ 227 million annually .

( in 2013 , one fish that was considered auspicious reportedly sold for $ 1 . 76 million . )\nbut while aquaculture typically has a lower environmental footprint than traditional commercial fishing methods , tuna is an exception . the species\u2019 feed conversion ratio is exceptionally low compared to other farmed fish ; a tuna needs to chow down on as much as six times more food than a salmon does . australia catches more than 38 , 000 tonnes of sardines every year just to satiate the demands of port lincoln\u2019s fisheries , making sardines the most heavily fished species in the country .\nand this just in : seafood industry consultants predict that u . s . per capita seafood consumption will hit a record 16 . 8 pounds per person when 2007 numbers are officially released later this year . doesn\u2019t seem like anyone is doing too much sacrificing\u2013for mercury content or otherwise . but if i was a tuna , i would try to eat as much mercury as i could . seems like that might be the only way to keep some tuna in the sea .\nthe little tour boat idles outside one of the many mansions in south australia ' s port lincoln marina . this particular waterside palace stretches across three blocks and belonged to tony santic , tuna millionaire and owner of champion horse makybe diva .\nim a tuna lover , eat it , fish it . i think what these guys are doing is kinda wrong , i know it makes there living and all but i feel like they get very greedy . does anyone else agree ?\nthe question of the scarcity of bluefin tuna , and the impact that the current fishing practices are having on these incredible fish is not dealt with in this series at all . i imagine it\u2019d put a serious damper on all that australian enthusiasm\u2026\nthis is a fascinating look at the tuna fishing process , and eye - opening as far as the amounts of money that are spent to find , catch and rear these incredible fish . in comparison to the crab fishermen of alaska , the fishing process is child\u2019s play in terms of safety and working conditions . the deck hands on the bait boat don\u2019t seem to do anything more physically strenuous than toss handfuls of sardines overboard once the tuna have been located . boredom seems to be the biggest challenge .\n( discovery channel , 2007 ) gives you a lot of useful information about the bluefin tuna fishing industry in australia . but with an american - accented narrator and a goofy cowboy theme , the film does a pretty fair job of alienating an australian viewer .\nsouthern bluefin tuna are thus caught on the continental shelf south of australia when they weight 15 - 20 kilograms ( at an age of about 2 years ) . they are transferred from the giant purse seine nets into holding pens while out at sea , and the pens are then towed back to port lincoln in south australia \u2013 very slowly . there the tuna are transferred to farm pens ( ranches ! ) , and fattened up for a couple of years until they weigh 30 - 40 kilograms . the fish are then caught \u2013 by hand , by divers , to avoid damaging them \u2013 in the pens , flash frozen , and shipped to japan . this is big money \u2013 a large , perfect tuna ( unbruised and unmarked ) fetches thousands and thousands of dollars in japan .\n\u201cwe\u2019re actually getting increases in quotas because the population is so robust , \u201d says kirsten rough , a research scientist with the australian southern bluefin tuna industry association . just last december , port lincoln\u2019s fishing industry was awarded sustainability accreditation by the ngo friend of the sea .\nwho would have ever thought tuna fishing was such an interesting and complex process ? the premier episode of the 2 - part mini series aired august 9th at 1opm eastern and the second episode airs on the 16th . there will be repeats towards the end of this month .\nnow visitors to port lincoln \u0097 on south australia ' s eyre peninsula \u0097 can tour the marina and swim with bluefin tuna in a pen not unlike those the fishermen use to fatten their stocks ( after the fish are caught in the ocean in nets and towed carefully back ) .\nbehind the boy\u2019s snorkel mask is a look of sheer glee . it\u2019s the kind of look stehr and dyer hope to elicit from many more people when they launch their swim - with - tuna operation in victor harbor , a small coastal town and tourist hub over 700 kilometers away .\nit should . the film is ultimately a lost opportunity . given a less sensational tone and a more challenging script , it could have advertised the downside of harvesting tuna from the southern ocean . instead , it merely glorifies a bunch of very ordinary guys who just happen to be fishermen .\na handful of sardines is tossed into the water . and another . the little fish vanish as other , much bigger fish rocket up from the murky black depths to gobble them . the tuna slice through the water with the precision and speed befitting their nickname , \u201cferraris of the ocean . \u201d\nto the average bystander , oceanic victor may seem as bizarre as it is controversial . sure , we swim with dolphins , sharks , rays and a whole host of other marine creatures\u2014but tuna ? dip your head in the water and watch an 80 - kilogram fish whip toward you at highway speeds and you\u2019ll quickly understand the appealing mix of terror and exhilaration . australia\u2019s tuna industry may be poised to change at the same breakneck speed , but one thing will always hold true : for as long as south australia is located by the sea , the livelihood of its people will depend on fishing and tourism . balancing the demand for one species with the negative ripple effects of that demand will always be a challenge . critics and proponents will be waiting for the final ruling on oceanic victor\u2019s fate in victor harbor later this month to see which way , this time , the tuna scales will tip .\n\u201cthey went through the process and got a tick box for an aquaculture license\u2014even though it\u2019s in \u2026 a habitat protection zone . so what\u2019s to stop it from happening in the future ?

\u201d he screams from the floating fish pen . it\u2019s a weekday in port lincoln , australia , and bluefin tuna purveyors yasmin stehr and michael dyer are playing hooky with family and friends . they\u2019re testing out their latest commercial venture , oceanic victor , which focuses on the coveted bluefin\u2014not as food , but as entertainment .\nbefore stehr and dyer took over the floating tuna tank and made plans to relocate it , a similar operation ran without objection in port lincoln for years . the polarity in public opinion boils down to this : the people of port lincoln were naturally more open to the attraction because it\u2019s emblematic of their livelihoods . as many as 4 , 000 of the 14 , 900 or so residents work in the fishing industry .\nthe ccsbt claims the quota system is working . evidence from aerial surveys , tagging and data projections suggests that tuna have rebounded to about 9 percent of their original spawning biomass , up from the low of 3 percent . by 2035 , ccsbt predicts , the wild stock will have returned to 20 percent of its original spawning biomass . that estimate may seem underwhelming , but it\u2019s enough to make the commission reassess its policies .\ncomplete aquaculture of tuna ( rearing them from larval stages to adult ) has proved difficult for several reasons . tuna are extremely active \u2013 they have incredibly fast metabolisms , eat prodigiously , and swim long distances ( their bodies are maginficently put together for swimming ) . simulating their natural environment in a pen is almost impossible ( much like rock lobster ) . they require high - energy food , and lots of it , making farming them an expensive proposition . they are also notoriously reluctant to spawn in captivity , which defeats the purpose of farming them ! the fish are delicate and manhandling them to extract eggs manually or check their state of sexual maturity decreases their value on the open market . finally , there are concerns that fish that escape from captivity may act differently to wild fish , and carry parasites and viruses that could decimate wild populations should they become exposed to them .\nresearchers at kindai university in japan have demonstrated that industry can be a powerful driver of conservation , too . with the financial support of the domestic fishing industry , they\u2019ve recently developed the technology to breed pacific bluefin tuna , closing the lifecycle . in due time , the technology will likely be adopted in the port lincoln area , reducing the industry\u2019s reliance on wild - caught fish\u2014and potentially affecting the entire industry\u2019s balance of supply , demand and valuation .\ntuna can only be spotted when the sea is flat , and while the ocean south of australia is cold and temperamental , in general the bering sea where the crab fishermen make a living makes it look like my bathtub \u2013 before i climb in ! the most dangerous part of the whole trip is entering lincoln bay with the incoming tide , site of dangerous reef where peter gimbel and company found great white sharks during the filming of blue water , white death .\nyou probably know what happened . marian burros wrote an article about mercury in sushi tuna that got on the front page of the january 23rd new york times . blogs ( including this one ) peddled it . later nytimes articles espoused its findings , though said sushi - lovers would ignore them . the fishing industry cried factual errors ( they wrote a letter to the new york times citing five ) and indeed , this correction is now appended to the original article :\nit ' s in the waters of the great australian bight that the action takes place . all the main elements of fishing are described on video , from the bait boat which attracts and herds the school of tuna , to the spotter plane , to the divers who manage the catch in enormous nets that are towed out to sea and back , and that contain the juvenile bluefin before they are unloaded to holding pens off the boats ' home town of port lincoln .\nfor critics of oceanic victor and the industry at large , such as nisa schebella , a protestor from victor harbor , putting people into a pen to swim with the species is overexploiting an already beleaguered species . it\u2019s one thing to keep highly migratory animals in a pen for food\u2014it\u2019s another to do it solely for frivolity . \u201cthe more i research , the more i\u2019m bamboozled by the whole fishing industry at large and its dismissal of tuna\u2019s critically endangered status , \u201d she says .\nduring a shoot in 2007 , however , one researcher gave fischer a frightening reality check :\nwhile we were helping these scientists , one of them looked at me and said , ' man , if we lose our giant sharks , we ' re not gonna have any billfish or tuna or anything else because they ' re the balance keepers and we don ' t know enough about their lives to create their future . they ' re just too big to catch . '\nit ' s a documentary , but it ' s not a great documentary . drama here is very often manufactured for effect , an unfortunate measure which ultimately devalues the material and makes you regret the hokey , down - home narrative that drives the story forward . tuna fishermen make good money . they ' re not in it for the love of it . it ' s not\nin their blood\n, as the narrative imputes at one stage near the end of the film .\nthe proposal oceanic victor presented in 2015 was an easy sell for the victor harbor council . worth $ 2 . 4 billion , tourism in south australia is even bigger business than tuna , but victor harbor has been struggling to attract its share of attention . so council fast - tracked the application and oceanic victor received its aquaculture license and approvals from both the victor harbor council and the state government to lease a section of water in the encounter bay marine park , a protected area .\nwhen compared to the fishing practices that nearly decimated the tuna population , it\u2019s undeniable that aquaculture is a necessary alternative . industry spokespeople are justified in boasting about how they\u2019ve reduced by - catch by eliminating longlining , yet they overlook an important point\u2014pens take a toll on the environment , too . ranches collectively release 1 , 946 tonnes of nitrogen every year\u2014a common stressor in marine ecosystems , known to promote algal growth and smother marine life\u2014making them the largest industrial contributor of pollution to the spencer gulf .\nthe solution was floating feedlots . each year , the fish travel from their spawning grounds off northwest australia in the indian ocean south and then east to the reefs of the great australian bight to feed , making them an easy target . between december and march , fishermen capture around 5 , 500 tonnes of wild juvenile tuna\u2014roughly 367 , 000 fish\u2014using a purse seine method , which involves encircling a school with a weighted fishing net and then cinching it closed at the bottom , like an underwater drawstring bag .\nonce on the brink of bankruptcy , the community is reveling in its good fortune . the southern bluefin tuna , a highly migratory fish found in the atlantic , indian , and pacific oceans , has been heavily targeted since the 1950s . just 20 years ago , both the species and the fishery were staring down extinction . australian fishermen had begun to reel in as little as 5 , 000 tonnes annually\u201420 , 000 tonnes less than just three decades earlier . as little as 3 percent of the original southern bluefin population remained .\nevery year , endangered migratory southern right whales use the bay as a nursery . any increase to predators means that whales may pass by , putting both their population and the town\u2019s main tourism draw at risk . while experts think it\u2019s unlikely that sharks from outside the local area will be attracted to the pen , the same can\u2019t be said of long - nosed fur seals , which have a taste for tuna meat . if attracted to the area , the seals are also likely to hunt and decimate the vulnerable population of little penguins in the area .\nwithin a few months of stehr and dyer applying for permits , there was public uproar in victor harbor . in december 2015 , the same month oceanic victor was scheduled to open , 83 objections were lodged against the proposal , citing concerns that the pen\u2014identical to the kind used in tuna aquaculture\u2014would cause danger to other species and environmental degradation . local businesses hung protest fliers in their windows , opponents circulated a petition , and the lifeguards erected a massive banner across their watchtower . by mid - february , protesters had filed four separate appeals against oceanic victor , stalling its launch .\na chart with the continuation of a front - page article on wednesday about high mercury levels found in tuna sushi in new york stores and restaurants referred imprecisely to what the environmental protection agency deems to be an acceptable level of mercury consumption over a period of several months by an adult of average weight . the agency uses the phrase \u201creference dose\u201d to refer to the daily level of mercury consumption it considers acceptable for a long - term diet ; it does not use the phrase \u201cweekly reference dose . \u201d ( to find the acceptable weekly level of consumption over the long term , the reference dose is multiplied by seven . )\ni had sushi for since when i was age of 7 , i never ever had any problem at all . it was tuna and about mercury thing ! ! ! in japan , no death from eating sushi since year of 1822 for over 150 years ! please do not get too sensetive about it , but you much find out where it was caming from and where it was cought first . see , we japanese still have a longest human life avarage rate in the world . because myabe we drink hot green tea after every meals we have in japan . that is the main reason , we do not have much of over weighted person in entire japan , see .\nhi , i would love to someday work at sea as a tuna wrangler . watching these guys do what they do looks extremely fun and exciting ! i have no idea how to obtain such a position . i love scuba diving , spearfishing and have had years of experience being in the ocean and handling all kinds of marine life . i\u2019m not afraid of sharks and being in the water with a wet suit on and carrying a spear gun would be a dream come true . especially when you get paid for doing something you love ! if i could have some information on how i can apply for a job such as this , or anything that would help me reach this goal that would be greatly appreciated ! i bet there are many people who love to have this sort of career but to me it would be a dream come true ! thanks !\nthe pens are essentially giant nets , closed at the bottom , with floats around the rim . divers have to check the nets for breakages , monitor the conditions of the fish , and ( occasionally ) deal with sharks who bite their way in , understandably attracted to a giant floating lunchbox of tuna goodness . they either shoot them ( last resort ) or wrestle them out of the pen by hand . bronze whalers are the most common invaders . the underwater footage of the pens and of the divers working in them is magnificent \u2013 crystal clear water , thousands of incredible , sleek fish , and a sense of space yet security . the divers are tethered to the surface so that they can maintain radio contact with the boat ( they wear full face masks ) and for air supply , or free dive . there are many ways to get tangled on things , so if they\u2019re on scuba they wear their cylinders ( for emergencies ) upside down with the pillar valve pointing downwards to minimise that risk . as some of the divers said , they can\u2019t believe they get paid to dive , because they enjoy it so much .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nwelcome to the age . skip directly to : search box , section navigation , content . text version .\ni reckon he had room to stable his horses in there ,\nsays tour operator graham daniels , before zipping off to point out the other delights of australia ' s wealthiest fishing port : multimillion -

dole and stevenson - wylder acts is another legal gray zone . in any case , the definition of research should not be left to the individual negotiation between one company and one nih institute . the nih could play a key role in developing this norm by convening a meeting of interested parties to develop the principles by which individual actors can determine how to apply the norm .\npaul rudd , evangeline lilly and a host of other familiar faces join this latest marvel adventure .\nfrom a producer of \u201cyour name , \u201d \u201cfireworks\u201d doesn\u2019t realize its potential , our critic writes .\nschissel a , merz jf , cho mk . survey confirms fears about licensing of genetic tests .\nmixing narrative and documentary filming in a unique way the story is autobiographical and is about a date rape dissecting the characters and circumstances around it . by following the . . . see full summary \u00bb\none prominent example of disputed norms is the controversy between myriad genetics and the university of pennsylvania genetic diagnostic laboratory ( gdl ) . while myriad states that it is generally supportive of research , it nevertheless sent gdl a cease - and - desist letter since it did not consider gdl ' s activities to be research . to myriad , gdl ' s provision of testing services to researchers was commercial , not a research service . 14 gdl took the position , however , that its activities , which supported others ' research , fell within the norm of tolerated research use , and much of the contested testing was part of clinical trials funded by the national cancer institute , which is clearly clinical research . much debate ensued , leaving many researchers with the ( wrong ) impression that myriad would not tolerate any form of research .\nhe said new cars were not only made up of mechanical parts , but\nover 10 million lines of computer code\n, more than that used to operate on - board support systems of modern airliners .\nuniversities that provide diagnostic testing services face private genetic testing companies that enforce patents against university genetic testing services and national reference laboratories 5 \u2013 in contrast to the situation for therapeutics , where universities are often the plaintiffs . the story often begins with publicly funded academic or non - profit research that is either patented and licensed exclusively to a private company or forms the basis for a spin - off company that attracts further investment and develops an invention that is patented . whether exclusive licensees or spin - offs , these companies then develop genetic testing services based on a business model that relies not only on patenting sequences and mutations \u2013 not objectionable in itself \u2013 but also on preventing other institutions , including universities from offering those genetic tests .\nit\u2019s a ridiculous movie , but jackie chan is still the most talented and witty athlete in cinema .\n\u201cthis is congo\u201d aims to deliver a portrait of the democratic republic of congo from the ground up .\ndespite their brevity , these sort of commercials give us a sense of who these characters are . hawley writes such good dialogue we only need to hear a single line from a character to know what they\u2019re all about . you can see more of his latest characters in some new photos from fargo season 3 :\nmerz jf , cho mk , robertson mj , leonard dg . disease gene patenting is a bad innovation .\ntall enough to protect his pocket sized other half in comparison , liam hemsworth is a giant 6ft 3 .\npatent incentives may induce investment in genetic diagnostics , but in none of the case studies did this lead to new availability of a test that was not already available , at least in part . this is in stark contrast with the role of patents in therapeutics and scientific instrument development , where the benefits attributable to private r & d and new products are much clearer . the case studies thus reinforce the wisdom of the nonexclusive norm for licensing genetic diagnostics , unless an unusual situation arises in which exclusivity is needed to get a product to market for the first time . the cases also highlight deviations from the nih best practices , oecd guidelines and nine points . exclusive licensing practices consistently reduce availability , at least as measured by number of available laboratories offering a test , and thus reduce competition in genetic diagnostics , but with little evidence of a public benefit from services not otherwise available .\na . i . friedman\u2019s store and warehouse closing will put 27 people out of work , according to a state filing . the store didn\u2019t return calls for comment . industry insiders say it\u2019s been struggling to pay vendors .\nit highlighted a dominant\nculture of repair ,\na focus on warranty obligations in place of consumer guarantees and widespread use of non -

exclusive misses important nuances . not only would more transparency help researchers better understand the scope and ownership of intellectual property rights but it would also allow policy makers , academics and ttos to determine in what cases exclusive licensing is justified as opposed to a blanket norm of non - exclusive licensing .\nwhile most industries tolerate a broad range of research activities and most researchers ignore patents when deciding whether to do research , 56 such blithe ignorance is not an obvious option in human genetic diagnostics where threatened enforcement is common , laboratory directors and clinicians tend to respond to threatened enforcement by ceasing those activities and where workarounds in the case of method patents are not always available . 49 norms over what research is to be tolerated are unsettled despite the existence of research exceptions 57 in many national laws ( including an exemption in the united states with respect to products that may eventually lead to the filing of an application with the food and drug administration 58 ) .\nmuch university research relates to basic research , including research into scientific principles and mechanisms of action\u2026 , and universities may not have the resources or inclination to work out the practical implications of all such research , i . e . , finding and identifying compounds able to affect the mechanism discovered . that is no failure of the law ' s interpretation , but its intention . patents are not awarded for academic theories , no matter how groundbreaking or necessary to the later patentable inventions of others . \u2026 that research hypotheses do not qualify for patent protection possibly results in some loss of incentive , although ariad presents no evidence of any discernable impact on the pace of innovation or the number of patents obtained by universities . but claims to research plans also impose costs on downstream research , discouraging later invention .\nuniversities argue that if they are forced to disclose the terms of prior licensing agreements , it will undermine their negotiating position with a new potential licensee . if , however , public companies must disclose the contents of their license agreements in order to protect the interests of those funding them ( i . e . , shareholders ) as a matter of public policy , then it is not clear why a university should not be required to disclose the contents of its license agreements in order to protect those who fund it ( i . e . , the public ) . the question of human resources needed to ensure transparency is very real and needs to be taken into account , but the principle of public disclosure should be entrenched within public institutions , particularly when the licensed inventions arise from publicly funded research , and especially when data are being collected and reported already . government and nonprofit research dollars should come with public accountability .\ntaken as a group , these decisions suggest that some of the potential obstacles to innovation that patents cause in diagnostics may not be as high , nor the amount of intellectual territory enclosed and enforced as expansive as some had feared . a clear research exemption , simplified method for challenging patents ( e . g . opposition proceedings or inter partes re - examination requests ) and improved examination procedures to avoid overly broad patent claims could help quell concerns over blocked research and overly broad patents . 55 overall , the problem does not lie wholly in patent law but in how decisions are made about what is patented ( methods v . products ) and how patents are managed and used . with one or a few successful challenges to broad patents enforced for diagnostic purposes , the business models of enforcing monopolies on genetic testing for specific conditions would likely give way to more cross - licensing , more competition , and faster innovation in testing methods .\nthe draft report also made the case for a mandatory scheme among manufacturers , obliging them to share technical information and parts with independent repairers .\nlast week the accc accepted a court enforceable undertaking from holden , in relation to findings that it misrepresented consumers ' rights under consumer law .\nas noted above , some ttos are expected to be self -

in rights under the bayh - dole act - - to curb industry behavior even when it is problematic . ttos with limited funding , limited staffs and unreasonable expectations to be sustainable , cannot be expected to resist intransigence by licensees .\nof course , one of the main reasons why we are so interested in the islands is because of the wealth they hold in the form of their beautiful evergreen rainforests . wholesale logging and plantation in the past has played havoc with the islands\u2019 ecology\u2014until it was stopped by the courts . but like everywhere else in the country , it\u2019s the same old story of laws not being implemented and court decisions being ignored .\nmethod claims in patents related to diagnostic testing , however , bear special mention . while many pharmaceutical patents claim products as chemical entities , universities and biotechnology firms also tend to patent ways of using knowledge , including method patents that affect genetic tests . in fact , huys et al . conclude that thirty percent of method claims relating to genetic testing are difficult if not impossible to circumvent . such claims tend to be broad , often to the point of vagueness , and many cover all conceivable ways to conduct genetic tests on a gene or for a clinical condition . in the 15 of 22 conditions that huys et al . found had at least one \u201cblocking\u201d claim , most such claims were to methods . in the diagnostic realm , blocking patents thus appear to be common , present in 68 percent of the clinical conditions studied .\nmany concerns originate in the following context : currently , universities frequently seek patents over early stage inventions 9 and license patents exclusively half the time . 10 - 13 a study by mowery et al . notes the following : \u201ca relatively high fraction of all inventions that are licensed - - as high as 90 % for uc licenses and no less than 58 . 8 % for stanford licenses of \u201call technologies\u201d during this period - - is licensed on a relatively exclusive basis , and these shares are similar for biomedical inventions . \u201d 10 many of those licenses will endure for many years , including licenses on university patents relevant to dna diagnostics .\nimplementation of licensing guidelines and best practices is difficult when interests and goals are not aligned . participants at a workshop held at duke university in april 2009 addressed the role of universities in dna patents and diagnostic testing and noted that those at the front line of implementing these guidelines , technology transfer offices ( ttos ) , face many hurdles to implementation . many university administrators view patents as a means to secure revenues ( to subsequently reinvest in research ) and believe that exclusive licenses generate the most revenues . while the evidence 59 is quite clear that most ttos either break even or lose money on technology transfer and that many of the most lucrative university patents have entailed nonexclusive licensing , this view persists . compounding this problem , universities expect ttos to generate sufficient revenues to be sustainable . despite usually being unrealistic , such expectations can lead ttos towards licensing strategies that promote short - term income over dissemination and broad availability .\nanother major threat comes from immigration ( from the mainland ) and unbridled tourism which force the islands to support a population far beyond their carrying capacity .

write of the implementing regulations to change interpretation of the confidentiality clause of the bayh - dole act . the confidentiality provision in the bayh - dole act was intended to protect agencies from being forced to disclose proprietary data but its implementing regulation is so broad that it , in effect , restricts government action to use data without permission of the relevant licensee . current nondisclosure practices lead to data being unavailable for research aimed at improving knowledge about patenting and licensing practices . many studies could be undertaken on aggregated reported data , and there are many precedents for using census data , health statistics and other very private information in government databases . the original rationale for the bayh - dole act was that government - owned inventions were languishing for want of effective patent incentive to grantees and contractors ; the current problem is that data on licensing practice are languishing in a government database that is not mined for valuable insights into patenting and licensing practices .\nthe date on your computer is in the past . if your computer ' s clock shows a date before 1 jan 1970 , the browser will automatically forget the cookie . to fix this , set the correct time and date on your computer .\nsacghs may have judged that ttos are failing to respect existing norms and in the absence of any credible compliance measures , the simplest legal solution is to address the problem through exemption from infringement liability . if autm and bio want to preserve the option of exclusive licensing when needed to get genetic tests to market , then compliance with guidelines needs to be credible . criticizing deviations when they come to light , with the long - term goal of increasing compliance with stated norms would go a long way to reducing the need for a diagnostic use exemption . moreover , enforcing nonexclusive licensing norms can preserve revenue streams , using the cystic fibrosis and huntington ' s models , whereas a diagnostic use exemption would eliminate those revenues because the patents would be unenforceable for diagnostic uses .\nwhile the biotechnology industry tried to portray myriad as an outlier , a series of detailed case studies 15 , 18 - 24 conducted by duke university ' s center for genome ethics law and policy reveal that in fact , myriad ' s business model is not unique . as these studies illustrate , diagnostic companies such as athena diagnostics and pgxhealth , have adopted similar or even more aggressive business models , and shut out university laboratories from offering genetic testing for diseases such as long qt syndrome and alzheimer ' s disease . in the case of alzheimer ' s disease , genes and method patents for diagnostic testing were initially patented by duke university ( and other academic institutions ) and licensed exclusively to athena diagnostics . athena diagnostics then used its patents aggressively to prevent others from carrying out the test .\nislands by their very nature are hothouses of endemism as species evolve quicker on them in order to fit snugly into special niches found there\u2014 and the andaman and nicobar islands are no exception . thus , they need a greater degree of protection\u2014and more research to enable that .\nmany of the longstanding mom -

run isn\u2019t unprecedented , and there\u2019s always the chance that hawley , who also ran the first season of legion , is spread too thin . but until we see otherwise , there\u2019s little reason to expect anything but greatness from the third season of fargo .\none month earlier , on february 10 , 2010 , the secretary ' s advisory committee on genetics , health and society ( sacghs ) , 4 after a careful study of current knowledge on the effects of patenting genes on research and accessibility to genetic tests , found that there is no convincing evidence that patents either facilitate or accelerate the development and accessibility of such tests . on the other hand , the committee found that there was some , albeit limited , evidence that patents had a negative effect on clinical research and on the accessibility of genetic tests by patients . further , most gene patents relevant to diagnostics were held by universities on the basis of research funded by the public money . given this , the committee recommended that universities be more cautious in patenting and licensing human genes , that there be more transparency and accountability for university licensing practices and that an existing exception protecting medical practitioners from patent infringement when they undertake surgery or treat a patient ' s body be extended to include the provision of genetic diagnostic testing .\nwhile myriad genetics ' patents over genes related to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer \u2013 the subject of the decision in association for molecular pathology et al . v . the united states patent and trademark office et al . \u2013 were among the first to generate intense public controversy , others followed . athena diagnostics ' exclusive licenses to patents covering genes and methods of testing for alzheimer ' s disease and other neurological and metabolic conditions , as well as other entities ' screening for canavan disease , hemochromatosis and other single - gene conditions has also generated fierce debate . in the case of canavan testing litigation resulted from licensing restrictions that inhibited freedom of action among those seeking to get genetic tests . these concerns have existed for over a decade without resolution . 5 - 6 the maturity of microarray technology that allows for multi - allele genotyping and now the prospect of full - genome sequencing deepen these concerns . 7 a legacy of exclusively licensed gene patents casts a shadow of patent infringement liability over the future of multi - allele testing and full - genome analysis .\na note about relevant advertising : we collect information about the content ( including ads ) you use across this site and use it to make both advertising and content more relevant to you on our network and other sites . this is also known as online behavioural advertising . you can find out more about our policy and your choices , including how to opt -

shot : his whole career started with a fake . the film ' s most powerful moment is his meditation on the glories of chartres cathedral , an achievement that doesn ' t need a dispute about authorship . f for fake is a minor work in some ways , but there is fascination and poignancy in seeing welles ' s elegant retreat into this hall of mirrors .\na mixture of documentary footage shot by others ( some of it featuring welles himself ) , archive footage , photos , and footage welles shot specifically for the film , f for fake offers as its ostensible subject a scandalous case concerning dubious authorship : clifford irving\u2019s allegedly bogus biography of his friend elmyr de hory , himself best known as a forger reputedly responsible for many of the world\u2019s most prestigious paintings .\nmuch of\nf for fake\n' consists of footage originally shot in 1968 by francois reichenbach for a documentary about de hory . after irving ' s hoax was exposed , welles bought reichenbach ' s footage and re - edited it with new scenes he directed . it reportedly took a year working seven days a week to edit the film .\nif citizen kane was just slightly ahead of its time in 1940 , f for fake , which came out in 1973 , now looks more than three decades ahead of the curve . nobody knows that better than tony zhou , creator of the popular cinema - focused video essay series every frame a painting .\npurchasing reichenbach\u2019s outtakes , welles set out to create an essay film that dealt with all of these questions , and it\u2019s small wonder that the resulting work raises questions of its own . f for fake is every bit as much a \u201cwelles film\u201d as citizen kane ; it\u2019s also equally , in terms of script and title , a coauthored one : just as the title of kane came from the film\u2019s producer , george schaefer , and much of its script was by mankiewicz , the final title of f for fake was supplied by its lead actress , oja kodar \u2013 - welles\u2019 companion and major artistic collaborator for the last quarter - century of his life \u2013 - who also wrote a story that supplied the basis for the film\u2019s \u201cpicasso episode\u201d .\nas finnegans wake was for joyce , f for fake was for welles a playful repository of public history intertwined with private in - jokes as well as duplicitous meanings , an elaborate blend of sense and nonsense that carries us along regardless of what\u2019s actually being said . for someone whose public and private identities became so separate that they wound up operating routinely in separate households and occasionally on separate continents , exposure and concealment sometimes figured as reverse sides of the same coin , and welles\u2019s desire to hide inside his own text here becomes a special kind of narcissism . when welles made his never - released nine - minute f for fake trailer three years later , he even avoided having his name spoken or seen ( \u201cmodesty forbids\u201d ) \u2014except for when gary graver , his cinematographer and partial stand - in as host , prompts him with , \u201cten seconds more , orson . \u201d\norson welles\u2019 two major documentary forays stand roughly at opposite ends of his film career : it\u2019s all true ( 1942 ) and f for fake ( 1973 ) , and together the two projects\u2019 very titles express a dialectical relationship to the documentary . both belong to a form of documentary known as the essay film that interested welles throughout his career . notwithstanding some wellesian hyperbole , it seems safe to say that both titles accurately convey the overall essence of their respectiive projects : most of the never - completed it\u2019s all true , as welles conceived and shot it , was true ; most of f for fake is fake - \u2013 a fake documentary about fakery , with particular attention devoted to art forger elmyr de hory , to author clifford irving , and to welles himself . as welles put it in a 1983 interview , \u201cin f for fake i said i was a charlatan and didn\u2019t mean it . . . because i didn\u2019t want to sound superior to elmyr , so i emphasized that i was a magician and called it a charlatan , which isn\u2019t the same thing . and so i was faking even then . everything was a lie . there wasn\u2019t anything that wasn\u2019t . \u201d\nthere are amused rumors to the effect that mr . welles did not actually direct a large part of \u201cf for fake . \u201d this part is an extended se ' suence set in ibiza involving interviews with elmyr de hory , the well\u2010publicized art forger , and clifford irving , who wrote mr . de hory ' s biography ( \u201cfake\u201d ) and later went on to make his own name by attaching it to howard hughes ' s .\nnow comes welles ' latest work , forthrightly titled\nf for fake .\nit ' s a film about fakes and frauds , including the art forger elmyr de hory , the biography forger clifford irving , the mystery man howard hughes and even the young orson welles of the famous\nwar of the worlds\nhoax .\nthe criterion collection is a distribution company that specializes in \u201cimportant\u201d classic and contemporary films . through hulu , many of these films are made available to stream . once a week , i like to illuminate a criterion movie \u2014 to deepen one\u2019s understanding of filmmaking and film history . this week\u2019s movie : \u201cf for fake\u201d ( 1975 )\nfor an ankle cast , this will be around your shin ; for a wrist cast , this will be around your forearm .\n* * * next will always be a dash . . . after the dash you will sometimes see an\nf\n( see below )\ntrickery . deceit . magic . in f for fake , a free - form sort - of documentary by orson welles , the legendary filmmaker ( and self - described charlatan ) gleefully reengages with the central preoccupation of his career : the tenuous lines between illusion and truth , art and lies . beginning with portraits of the world - renowned art forger elmyr de hory and his equally devious biographer , clifford irving , welles embarks on a dizzying journey that simultaneously exposes and revels in fakery and fakers of all stripes\u2014not the least of whom is welles himself . charming and inventive , f for fake is an inspired prank and a clever examination of the essential duplicity of cinema .\nf for fake\nis also notable , he said , as the only film for which oja kodar is known . as the co - writer of\nthe other side of the wind\nand other unfinished and unreleased projects , she was one of welles ' closest collaborators in the last 25 years of his life . she is currently working on a compilation film comprising excerpts from these projects .\nall of which brings us to f for fake , the last feature film welles would ever complete , and one that is quite unlike any other film he ever made . its genesis was serendipitous , but the circumstances that saw this multilayered tale of fakery fall into welles\u2019 lap offered him his first chance to make a real break for freedom since citizen kane . with f for fake , welles set out to make something entirely new , and while many fans of the director were ultimately disconcerted by how little this felt like \u201can orson welles picture\u201d , that was all part of his design . as he told cahiers du cinema in an interview after the film\u2019s release , he deliberately avoided any shots that might be regarded as \u201ctypically wellesian . \u201d for a director who still had the bitter taste of failure and rejection in his mouth , this was an opportunity for complete reinvention .\nwelles\u2019 delight in getting one over on the audience with his final twist is evident , and perhaps the most valuable thing f for fake offers us almost forty years on is simply orson welles himself , a great artist and born storyteller who is in his element here . his sheer force of personality is the anchor that holds the movie in place . he guides us through a complicated web of deceit with that inimitable voice \u2013 charming , authoritative , humorous and wistful by turn \u2013 and he pops up on screen every few minutes with a glint in his eye and a smile on his face , as if to say , \u201care you really buying this ? \u201d welles was happy when he made f for fake , his creative juices were flowing once more , and he felt confident that he was standing on the verge of exciting new possibilities ; that the success of his experiment would open doors for him in the twilight years of his career . \u201ci know he wanted to do a whole bunch of new essay documentaries , a new form\u201d his friend and collaborator peter bogdanovich recalled , but the failure of this film soon killed that notion . sadly for welles , and for all of us , the bright future he envisioned for himself after f for fake turned out to be just another illusion .\napollo 15 astronauts went up to those mountains and walked on hadley delta . how could they enter a fake backdrop ?\nthe video release of\nf for fake\nmakes accessible this mischievous film , which like much of welles ' work has a spotty distribution history . it was completed in 1973 and premiered at the san sebastian and new york film festivals . it was released in europe before it received limited art - house play in the united states in 1977 .\nthere are interviews with people in the know with elmyr de hory\u2019s work that are standard documentary scenes . however , welles cuts between the interviewer and himself \u2014 in a separate room addressing the camera \u2014 with \u201cwitty\u201d responses to the information . one can see the roots of michael moore\u2019s documentary style in f for fake . perhaps moore was a fan ?\nfor a filmmaker who studiously avoided repeating himself and sought always to remain a few steps ahead of his audience\u2019s expectations , thereby rejecting any obvious ways of commodifying his status as an auteur , welles arguably found a way in f for fake to contextualize large portions of his career while undermining many cherished beliefs about authorship and the means by which \u201cexperts , \u201d \u201cgod\u2019s own gift to the fakers , \u201d validate such notions .\nindeed , the first time that i saw f for fake - \u2013 at a private screening in paris in 1973 \u2013 the cryptic press materials at the time identified the film as ? , listed welles and reichenbach as co - directors , and assigned the script to olga palinkas ( kodar\u2019s given name ) . the previous year , when i had been fortunate enough to have interviewed welles while he was still editing the film , he told me that the title was hoax and that the film was \u201cnot a documentary\u201d but \u201ca new kind of film\u201d . the irrelevance of labels and assigned credits to most works of art is , after all , largely what f for fake is about . - \u2013 jonathan rosenbaum\nsome call what we do experiential marketing or event marketing , others interactive design or new media art . we call it fake love .\nwhen we get to a late film in welles\u2019 career , the documentary f for fake ( 1976 ) , he formulates his most explicit statement about contemporary reality , leaving little room for greatness , let alone tragedy . and if f for fake seems a superficial film , we will then have experienced the first lesson of postmodernism : playfulness , conscious illusions , and an undisguised reflexiveness about making movies . put another way , what is seen in the film that seems real is not as real as it appears \u2014 but most especially we can\u2019t trust the filmmaker welles himself , he will lie to us and deceive us , if only to get at the heart of the movie\u2019s main contention : you cannot trust anyone , especially anyone who asserts his or her authority without any basis or proof .\nas fun as it can be to float along welles\u2019s stream of consciousness , it\u2019s the film\u2019s editing that will amaze you . its rhythm is fast and unexpected , and it\u2019s an altogether refreshing experience to watch welles work so buoyantly . ( for all its apparent breeziness , the editing process was intense and extended . in an interview that appeared in dominique villain\u2019s le montage au cinema , f for fake \u2019s chief editor reported that welles worked on editing the film seven days a week for a year . )\nf for fake\njoins on video other recently rediscovered welles rarities , including his uncompleted documentary\nit ' s all true\n( paramount home video ) ,\norson welles ' ghost story\n( the retitled oscar - nominated short subject\nreturn to glennascaul ,\navailable on mpi home video ) and\nothello\n( currently on moratorium ) .\nf for fake is the from the man who brought us one of the biggest live events in history and , arguably , the greatest technical film ever made : orson welles .

june 13 , 2017 israel has approved a request by palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas to cut by roughly a third the electricity it provides to the gaza strip . the move is aimed at undermining the islamic militant group hamas , which has controlled gaza for the last decade . israel and egypt have been tightly controlling access to the gaza strip for years to weaken hamas . the palestinian authority has moved to further isolate the militant group . in addition to funding for electricity , abbas has also cut salaries for civil servants . everything else posted is fake news , yosef . . . steve f\norson welles reinvented the cinema with \u201ccitizen kane , \u201d and then kept going , though the industry itself hardly helped : most of the movies he made thereafter were the work of an outsider who scrounged financing where he could\u2014including , sometimes , his own earnings as an actor . many of his films remain unfinished . with \u201cf for fake , \u201d from 1973 , which i discuss in this clip , welles made a film seemingly out of the uncollected fragments of his life and his work . one of the many distinctions of \u201ccitizen kane\u201d is its editing\u2014welles was fanatical about it , which renders all the more poignant the numerous instances of studios recutting his films . \u201cf for fake\u201d is a masterwork of montage , a breathlessly frenzied collage of disparate sources that conjure the unholy tempest of a great man and a great mind at full gallop . it\u2019s also a film that highlights the artifice of performance even as it affirms the sometimes tragic , sometimes tawdry authenticity of a life devoted to it . the movie is a love story , a crime story , a comedy , a picaresque travelogue , and a paean to art . in short , \u201cf for fake\u201d is as grand , multitudinous , and original as welles himself .\nas much as welles\u2019 is revered in the film and entertainment world , he comes off unlikeable in f for fake . he is the all -

up and what is not ? his point hits right on the nose . f for fake has you guessing what is real and made up \u2014 from hory\u2019s world and beyond . welles does not hide that fact , which makes the film incredibly frustrating to watch . basically , welles wants us to think : yeah , i\u2019m going to watch and enjoy your movie , even though i know you are going to lie to me .\nif nothing happens , download the github extension for visual studio and try again .\nsubscribe now for exclusive offers and the best of cinema . hand - picked .\ni do not like this movie . though , understanding what welles was trying to do and the film being his last hurrah , elevates the film to a level it does not deserve . it is incredibly experimental . f for fake will leave you empty and wanting a whole lot more . thankfully , it is only 88 minutes . sometimes you have to put up with a challenge to enjoy the beautiful things in life .\nbut welles being welles , for whom form and content were always closely connected , the subject is also orson himself , and his own controversial history as an artist and / or charlatan . with its wholly fresh approach to the role played by editing in the building of a narrative , and a sly , quizzical attitude that anticipates abbas kiarostami \u2019s claim that in order to get at the truth an artist has to tell lies , f for fake is as exhilaratingly witty , mischievous and imaginative as it is philosophically profound .\nalas , welles revealed f for fake in 1974 to an unready world : audiences didn ' t quite understand it , and what distributors showed interest in buying it didn ' t quite offer enough money . the feature finally came out in america in 1976 , and for the occasion welles put together the nine - minute\ntrailer ,\nnever actually screened in a theater , at the top of the post , a short essay film in and of itself possessed of a similar style to but consisting of no footage from the full - length f for fake . as with the picture to which it ostensibly offers a preview , welles made it in collaboration with b - movie cinematographer gary graver and his girlfriend oja kodar \u2014 the one you see posing with the tiger \u2014 hoping to tantalize with a suggestion of the dance of truth and falsity the film does around such storied figures as pablo picasso , howard hughes , and infamous art forger elmyr de hory .\n10 the artifice of realism and the lure of the \u201creal\u201d in orson welles\u2019s f for fake and other t ( r ) eas ( u ) er ( e ) s catherine l . benamou 11 forgotten silver : a new zealand television hoax and its audience craig hight and jane roscoe 12 the truth about no lies ( if you can believe it ) mitchell w . block 13 screen memories : fakeness in asian american media practice eve oishi\nalthough intended to be a documentary , f for fake is considered a \u201cfilm essay\u201d . the film attempts to delve into the word of fakes and forgery \u2014 specifically art forgery . at the heart of this film is the story of elmyr de hory\u2019s history as an art forger . sadly , as a viewer , the film deviates from that premise on multiple occasions . there is a lot of welles monologue and speedy cuts to different scenes .\nget ready for prime day with the amazon app . no purchase necessary . learn more\nwait for the cast to dry . you can sign it with markers after this .\na category for locations , they can be real or fictional places or filming locations .\nnever miss a story from cinenation , when you sign up for medium . learn more\ncitizen kane ,\nfor example , is a film so brilliantly packed full of special effects , deceptive shots , double exposures , trick lighting , background animation and back projection that perhaps only a third of the film actually records what we think we ' re seeing . in\nf for fake\n, welles plays with the film more obviously , presiding over a ghostly editing room , running shots back and forth in the movieola as he invites us to take a closer look ( pick a look , any look\u2026 ) .\nthis image of welles as the baroque storyteller is apparent in both his fiction and non - fiction films , although even that distinction would seem a bit misleading as the director\u2019s fiction works are filled with many emotional truths and his non - fiction works\u2014of particular note the fragments of it\u2019s all true , the series of documentary shorts he made for british television in the 1950s , and f for fake , a portrait of master art forger elmyr de hory\u2014are composed , in part , of artfully elaborated and sculpted \u201cfacts . \u201d f for fake is one of the more wistfully humorous of welles\u2019s wrestlings with reality . roguishly comic yet profoundly bittersweet and edited in seizures with a deliberate , manic grace , the film represents the most flamboyant of its director\u2019s magical acts , with welles himself acting on screen as the narrator / conjuror , pulling the curtain back again and again , each time only to reveal another stage and another curtain in a series of dizzyingly self - reflexive meditations on fakery .\nno f . . . if there is no f after the dash , you will just see 5 numbers ( some of the older styles will only have 4 # ' s ) . this set of numbers are considered the style # . meaning every coach bag with this number will look the same . . . maybe a different color , but always the same design and style .\nhalfway into the film , french director fran\u00e7ois reichenbach , whose documentary footage on de hory and his biographer philip irving was used by welles , tells a story that coincidentally sums up the deceptive nature of f for fake . de hory had , supposedly , sold reichenbach a few fake modigliani\u2019s , which the latter then sold for double the price . unaware of that , hory offered to reimburse the director with a check that turned out to be false . \u201ca false check for a false painting , \u201d adds welles amusedly . deliberately deceiving and drawing our attention to one aspect of the narrative while planting in our minds , like a cuckoo\u2019s egg , another , perhaps more profound one , welles builds his hall of mirrors in which concepts of fakery and originality bounce off one another as reflections .\nthe film : though considered something of a personal folly upon its limited release in 1973 , \u201cf for fake\u201d seems now to be perhaps welles\u2019s crowning achievement , his most fully realized late - career work at a time when he could hardly get one finished and released . it\u2019s heady , dense , and unabashedly intellectual , but part of welles\u2019s sophistication as a thinker and stylist is in how smoothly he works his ideas into the fabric of his entertainments .\nit would be comforting to say my early appreciation of f for fake included an adequate understanding of just how subversive it was ( and is ) . but leaving aside the critique of the art world and its commodification via \u201cexperts\u201d\u2014which is far more radical in its implications than the critique of william randolph hearst in citizen kane ( 1941 ) \u2014it has been only in recent years , with the rewind and stop - frame capacities of video , that the sheer effrontery of many of welles\u2019s more important tricks can be recognized , making this film more home - video - friendly than any of his others . it has also taken some time for us to realize that his methodology in putting this film together gave him a kind of freedom with his materials that he\u2019d never had before or would again . for a filmmaker who often avowed that the art of cinema resided in editing , f for fake must have represented his most extended effort . according to dominique villain , who interviewed the film\u2019s chief editor for her 1991 book le montage au cine ? ma , the editing took welles a solid year , working seven days a week\u2014a routine suspended only for the length of time that it took michel legrand to compose the score\u2014and required the use of three separate editing rooms .\nf for fake is not a documentary . this \u201cnew kind of film\u201d escapes definitions by mixing fiction , duplicitous meanings , self - referentiality , historical background and elaborate visual trickery . francois truffaut believed welles made the film as a \u201creposte\u201d to the controversy created by film critic pauline kael , whose claims that welles had not written a single line of citizen cane have later been proven untrue ( the entirety of the script was supposedly written by his co - writer mankiewicz ) . welles gives a somewhat reconciliatory final note on his turbulent career as a film director \u2013 an epitaph celebrating art in its anonymity . nevertheless , welles\u2019 off - screen and on - screen persona permeates all his work . in f for fake he exposes himself as a charlatan , a faker , but we can\u2019t avoid feeling that the true orson welles is hiding and probably does so in a typically mischievous wellesian way , in plain sight .\ni have some minor reservations about \u201cf for fake . \u201d i don ' t share mr . welles ' s affection for either mr . de hory or mr . irving . unlike the generous mr . welles , they are small potatoes . when mr . welles asks , \u201cdoesn ' t it say something about our time that cliff [ irving ] could only make it through trickery ? , \u201d my answer is no . it says more about mr . irving , who as far as i can tell , hasn ' t made it at all .\nlooking for any more historic pictures . seems camp obama released scarce few to begin with .\nmust be a popular bench there on the edge of central park , ny for commies .\ndon ' t cover your fingers for w wrist cast . just wrap around the palm .\nthanks to all authors for creating a page that has been read 104 , 822 times .\nif you prefer to pay for your phone in cash at the time of purchase , you can buy an iphone for $ 650 . apple makes money when you buy your phone .\nif you want to give your fake cast the proper thickness , you can cut two or three socks to the same size and layer them to give it the proper bulk .\nhe ' s not saying hey i ' m gonna try and fake a half dozen satellites using a swarm drones or something hovering around him and his phone . . . .\nfake documentaries mimic documentary genre expectations , unraveling the documentary\u2019s authority and dismantling understandings of identity , history , and nation . the interdisciplinary essays in f is for phony discuss a broad scope of works and explore issues raised by \u201cfake docs\u201d such as the fiction / documentary divide , the ethics of reality -

( wink , wink ) giving the surprise away would ruin all of the fun . what i can say is that you should find this somewhat rare film and watch it with a clock close by .\norson welles ' s final completed movie deals with fakery , and in particular with two of the most notorious forgers of the twentieth century .\nf is for fakes\n( also called\nf for fake\n) is not really a movie or documentary as much as a look at how we interpret art , and what we want to interpret about anything that is essentially fake . welles proudly calls himself a charlatan while performing magic tricks and coming up with all sorts of ways to play with the audience . i personally had never heard of elmyr de hory until watching this , but welles turns him into a very interesting person . all in all , the director known as a boy genius had a fine end to his career . welles created a truly mind - bending look at the concept of art . the fact that the movie came out around the time that clifford irving ' s scandal broke ( he wrote a forged biography of howard hughes ) certainly adds to the documentary ' s quality . can there truly be any more definite reality left in the world ?"]}

if i was to give notice of one week to someone i would give them one week ' s notice , not one week notice . in that one statement i have proved that the apostrophe is there because of the possessive . if you are giving more than one week of notice it is still a possesive and an apostrophe is still required . the rule about plural possessives comes into play and an apostrophe is required after the\ns\n; two weeks ' notice . end of argument . don ' t listen to anyone who says differently ; they have a twisted , illogical , and muddled mind . one more time for the record ; two weeks ' notice . thank you and good night .\nif you have decided to resign from your job , it is customary to provide your employer with two weeks notice . whatever your reason for leaving , two weeks gives an employer enough time to come up with plans to cover your absence . for example , an employer might need time to hire someone to fill the position , or they might need time to reassign your tasks to other employees .\ntwo weeks notice is basically saved by the really good actors in it , especially grant and bullock . there are some laughs here and there , but there ' s nothing remarkable about the film so this is standard rom - com entry .\ni have just been having a prolonged argument with people at work about whether it is correct to write\nthree weeks notice\nor\nthree weeks ' notice\n. my view is that , since a week cannot possess the notice and it is not an abbreviation with an absent letter , it is incorrect to use an apostrophe . the notice , is anything , is possessed by the person to whom it is given ( i . e . she gave him his notice ) . merge , purple dragon , i see that you agree with this . do you know of any printed source which would verify it ?\neverywhere one looks , there are signs of ignorance and indifference . what about that film two weeks notice ? guaranteed to give sticklers a very nasty turn , that was \u2013 its posters slung along the sides of buses in letters four feet tall , with no apostrophe in sight . i remember , at the start of the two weeks notice publicity campaign in the spring of 2003 , emerging cheerfully from victoria station ( was i whistling ? ) and stopping dead in my tracks with my fingers in my mouth . where was the apostrophe ? surely there should be an apostrophe on that bus ? if it were \u201cone month\u2019s notice\u201d there would be an apostrophe ( i reasoned ) ; yes , and if it were \u201cone week\u2019s notice\u201d there would be an apostrophe . therefore \u201ctwo weeks\u2019 notice\u201d requires an apostrophe ! buses that i should have caught ( the 73 ; two 38s ) sailed off up buckingham palace road while i communed thus at length with my inner stickler , unable to move or , indeed , regain any sense of perspective .\nor , to avoid any possible confusion in punctuation :\na sentence of two years in prison\nor\na two - year sentence of imprisonment .\nshe takes the job and is at his beck and call for over 18 months before she goes bananas and gives her two weeks notice . in that time , she must find a replacement and then she has to fight off her feelings of love for hugh .\nwhat an interesting read . . . one that took me away from my project for an hour ' s time . ; - d first , to stephanie , it would actually be a\nfive - minute warning\nfor reasons i will point out below . to end the debate , if there continues to be any , in the example ,\nin two weeks ' time , i will be resigning ,\nthe apostrophe is correct , if one could also say ,\nin the time of two weeks , i will be resigning .\n( ostensibly\nof\ndenotes possession of time and\ntime\nis ascribed to the 2 weeks , hence it acts as a plural possessive . ) if you are going to leave off the word\ntime ,\nthen the statement must revert to ,\nin two weeks i will be resigning .\nthe only other correct way to say this would be to say ,\na two - week notice\nin which case , as in\nfive - minute warning ,\nthe words ' two ' and ' week ' would be acting as an adjective modifying the word ' warning ' and would need to be hyphenated . such as in my 2 - year - old son , vs . my son is 2 years old . in the case of the original question about the title of the movie , using these criteria we have discussed here and throughout the thread ,\ntwo weeks ' notice\nwould be correct , or , if anyone in hollywood had given it any serious thought ,\ntwo - week notice .\nnow , i must go back to work as i do not want anyone giving me a two weeks ' notice of a two - week notice on this project . ; - d\nthe comedy stars sandra bullock and hugh grant , and marks the feature directorial debut of marc lawrence , who previously wrote bullock vehicles forces of nature and miss congeniality for her production company fortis films . two weeks notice scored a strong weekend average of $ 9 , 672 .\nit does seem a bit odd i know . we use the possessive apostrophe with phrases that refer to \u2018worth of time\u2019 \u2013 so two weeks\u2019 ( worth of ) notice , six months\u2019 ( worth of ) time , three days\u2019 ( worth of ) hike and so on .\nin a perfect world , you\u2019re going to politely give two weeks notice , suggest a reasonable amount of time during which you\u2019ll stay to wrap up projects , and perhaps train a replacement . and your soon - to - be - ex - employer will embrace this plan joyfully .\nyet , george is more interested in her decision - making regarding what are otherwise trivial matters in his life and eventually treats her like his personal assistant . she puts up with that for a rather long while , but eventually becomes fed up and announces her two weeks notice .\n[ . . . ] more movies out there missing their punctuation , namely two weeks notice . ( though according to this ridiculously in - depth debate , that might not necessarily be true . and here\u2019s where my brain starts to cave in and the [ . . . ]\ni\u2019ve got a question about the use of apostrophes in notice period provisions . i was rather surprised to see that section 8 . 96 of the mscd includes apostrophes after the number of days / weeks / months in your example provisions . shouldn\u2019t such provisions simply refer to \u201cdays\u201d , \u201cweeks\u201d or \u201cmonths\u201d without the apostrophe ? as i read it , including an apostrophe indicates a possessive ( i . e . , that day / week / month owns the notice period ) and i always thought the reference should simply be to the number of days / weeks / months ( i . e . , the \u201cs\u201d is there because the reference is typically to multiple days / weeks / months ) . do the days / weeks / months really own the notice period or am i thinking about this wrong ?\nwhere reference is made to lynne truss ' s book\neats shoots and leaves : the zero tolerance approach to punctuation .\nin which she cites the example of the film title\ntwo weeks notice\nas incorrectly punctuated because there should be an apostrophe after the\ns\n.\nsorry , i meant to say\ntwo years ' imprisonment\n. . . oops !\nthe arguments of two years ' imprisonment or one day ' s leave are not pertinent to this case because both refer to continuous time frames . rather ,\ntwo weeks notice\nis more like saying ,\ni will give you a five minute warning before your time is up\n- - it is an single , instantaneous event ( at least one would hope you don ' t have to notify your boss of resignation continually for two weeks ) . arguably , i suppose our colloquial language of\nfive minute warning\nshould actually be\nfive minutes warning\n. . .\nit\u2019s easy to get trunky once you\u2019ve put in your two weeks\u2019 notice at a job . but it\u2019s important to dig in and finish strong . not only is your company still paying you , but you want to leave on a high note . first impressions get a lot of emphasis , but psychologists have found that people remember best both the first part of an experience and the last part\u2013 which is to say your final two weeks will constitute much of what your former colleagues remember about you .\nas to why you use the possessive at all , i think it\u2019s because five days\u2019 notice is an alternative to notice of five days . that\u2019s analogous to david\u2019s hat being equivalent to the hat of david .\nit is not a possessive , although the rule for plural possessives is still applied here .\nnotice\nobviously does not belong to\ntwo weeks .\nthe correct term is a\ngenitive\nor more specifically to this case , it is a genitive of measure ( as achille marra indicated ) .\ntwo business rivals who despise each other in real life unwittingly fall in love over the internet .\ni ' m not a mother tongue speaker but i ' m pretty sure that the correct form is ' two weeks ' notice ' , genitive of measure . if , as i believe , in this case ' notice ' is countable a possible alternative is ' a two week notice ' like ' a three day ticket ' or ' a stone merchant ' but the form in the title of the film doesn ' t make sense because it would be a compound with the first part - grammatically an adjective - treated as a noun : consider the difference between a twenty - year - old boy and a twenty years old .\napostrophes are used in phrases such as two days ' time and 12 years ' jail , where the time period ( two days ) modifies a noun ( time ) , but not in three weeks old or nine months pregnant , where the time period ( three weeks ) modifies an adjective ( old ) . you can test this by trying the singular : one day ' s time , but one month pregnant .\nit\u2019s important to provide your employer with two weeks\u2019 notice if you can . this is a standard practice when resigning . it provides enough time for you to transition out of the office and to finish up any projects you can . it also gives your employer time to begin to hire ( and possibly train ) your replacement .\ntwo icons of romantic comedy team up for the first time , and the result is a fizzle .\nmerge was correct as , indeed , is the film title . it should read\ntwo weeks notice\n. the word ' weeks ' is a plural of the noun week , hence the terminal ' s ' . joachim : this is not the genitive case . it is not the notice of ( or belonging to ) the weeks in question ; thus no apostrophe is required . selkie : there is no necessity for the word ' of ' in this sentence . moreover , even if that was the case , an apostrophe , when used to indicate omission , signifies a missing letter ( or letters ) not a missing word . so , again , no apostrophe is required .\nanother thing just occurred to me in the case of the movie title . . . knowing how they think in hollywood , having lived in the world of movies for 25 years , this is likely rendered two week notice because they are simultaneously speaking of 2 things . . . and actually intend a pun . that is to say , that the 2 - week notice julia roberts gives hugh grant give his\n2 weeks to notice\nhe loves her , before she is out of his life for good . so . . . given the nature of titles to stand for multiple things , i think what hollywood and the writers were wanting to leave you with , ultimately was his 2 weeks to notice her and say something to her . . . . wonder if anyone else out there would agree .\nshe writes for those who winced at the posters advertising the film two weeks notice and who felt real pain when they saw in print the name of the pop group hear ' say . its absurd apostrophe ,\nhanging there in eternal meaninglessness\n, was , truss says ,\na significant milestone on the road to punctuation anarchy\n.\nhorror sequel ' final destination 2 ' debuted at number two on the chart , outperforming the original film .\nthree major new openers stormed the uk box office this week , led by warner bros ' romantic comedy two weeks notice . the strong combination of the three debutantes , a host of other new titles and continued strength of holdovers , such as catch me if you can , led the box office for the top 15 titles to a 10 % jump on last week .\nthere\u2019s a certain etiquette involved when , for whatever reason , you decide to quit your job . it ' s best to tell your boss in person , if possible , that you are resigning from your job , and then follow up with a formal resignation letter . it is also best to give your employer at least two weeks notice\u2019 when you are planning to leave .\nwithout wishing to blow my own trumpet , people say i ' m an authority on english grammar and punctuation ; i ' ve been teaching little else for 46 years ! i can confirm that the above posting is absolutely and unequivocally correct ; it ' s\ntwo weeks ' notice\n. just apply the plural -

do opposites really attract ?\neven if you work in a small , casual office , solidify your intention to resign in writing . clarify your desired departure date , and then outline how you propose to use your final days or weeks . got a project to finish ? lay out how you\u2019ll do that here . offering to train a replacement ? spell it out . need to make a couple of final customer visits ? state your intentions in this letter .\nare you willing to stay longer if asked ? your boss may ask you to stay on a week or two longer for more help in wrapping things up . is this a possibility for you ? even if it is , is it something you\u2019re willing to do ? again , make sure you think through this question beforehand , so you don\u2019t get guilted into something in the moment .\nit\u2019s true that at a big corporation , once you put in your resignation , they may immediately and unceremoniously escort you out the door . it\u2019s also true that many companies , although they ask you to give them early notice of your resignation , would not afford you the same privilege when giving you the boot . this leads some to adopt the attitude of , \u201cf that ! i don\u2019t owe them anything ! i\u2019ll quit and walk away the same day . \u201d\nimpressed with lucy , he agrees not to destroy the center but on the condition that she works in his company as chief counsel . lucy accepts the deal but soon realizes that her boss is a selfish ungrateful irresponsible playboy . little did she know that she would have to aid her boss in daily chores that of choosing a tie to picking up stationery , and she literally becomes a personal assistant to george . george does not hesitate to call her up at odd hours of midnight for his minor needs and working like that for a year , lucy becomes indispensable for george . his need for her gets comically obsessive . but lucy is extremely distressed and a day arrives when she finally decides to give up the job . she gives a ' 2 weeks notice ' to george in a bid to quit office . but george asks her to find a replacement . lucy manages to find a replacement : a beautiful lawyer from harvard - june carter ( alicia witt ) .\nsandra bullock , who produced the film , knew just what she was doing , and how to do it . hugh grant knew just what he was getting into . some critics will claim they play their\nusual roles ,\nbut grant in particular finds a new note , a little more abrupt , a little more daffy , than usual . and they bring to the movie what it must have : two people who we want to see kissing each other , and amusing ways to frustrate us until , of course , they finally do .\nwhile truss says that\ndespair gave this book its impetus\n, she does not sound despairing either in print or in person . the title itself is a joke , about an irate panda who walks into a cafe , orders a sandwich , eats it , draws a gun and fires two shots into the air . the waiter finds the explanation for this erratic behaviour in a badly punctuated wildlife manual which the bear leaves behind :\npanda . large black -

workers second .\nto be fair , many people who couldn\u2019t punctuate their way out of a paper bag are still interested in the way punctuation can alter the sense of a string of words . it is the basis of all \u201ci\u2019m sorry , i\u2019ll read that again\u201d jokes . instead of \u201cwhat would you with the king ? \u201d you can have someone say in marlowe\u2019s edward ii , \u201cwhat ? would you ? with the king ? \u201d the consequences of mispunctuation ( and re - punctuation ) have appealed to both great and little minds , and in the age of the fancy - that email a popular example is the comparison of two sentences :\npunctuation has been defined many ways . some grammarians use the analogy of stitching : punctuation as the basting that holds the fabric of language in shape . another writer tells us that punctuation marks are the traffic signals of language : they tell us to slow down , notice this , take a detour , and stop . i have even seen a rather fanciful reference to the full stop and comma as \u201cthe invisible servants in fairy tales \u2013 the ones who bring glasses of water and pillows , not storms of weather or love\u201d . but best of all , i think , is the simple advice given by the style book of a national newspaper : that punctuation is \u201ca courtesy designed to help readers to understand a story without stumbling\u201d .\ni am at a loss for words to adequately express how much it means to my husband and me to know that there is an organization like focus that is rooting for us . just today i was reading psalm 37 and thinking about how your ministry provides ways to ' dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture .

suffering secretary , nad\u00e8ge ( ms . viard ) , is also his longtime mistress \u2014 pujol almost too neatly personifies the shortcomings of his class and sex . his wife , suzanne ( ms . deneuve ) , whose father started the factory and is occasionally invoked as the embodiment of a benevolent , bygone paternalism , seems resigned to her lot in life . first seen in a red track suit and white adidas , with curlers tucked under a matronly kerchief , suzanne scribbles verses in a notebook , endures her husband\u2019s grouchiness and keeps a doting eye on her two grown children , jo\u00eblle ( ms . godr\u00e8che ) and laurent ( mr . renier ) .\n7 : 33 p . m . : on the red carpet , terrence howard\u2019s wife , mira pak , said the actor \u201cquite often\u201d channels his \u201cempire\u201d character , lucious lyon , at home . okay then . howard , whose co -

manuel miranda , the creator of \u201chamilton . \u201d\n\u201csay you start your mixtape with one single video clip of bill gates getting a pie thrown in his face , but it needs some music in the background . so you start looking for a song that fits the clip . maybe you just type in \u201cpie\u201d in emule or limewire , or google for lyrics that contain the phrase \u201cin your face\u201d . maybe that song makes for an excellent link to the next clip . you\u2019ll be amazed with where your search can take you . \u201d\nthis new found ability for individuals to take control of their own distribution coupled with the availability of cheap and even free audio and video editing packages , gave mixtapes a new lease of life . but p2p wasn\u2019t just used for the distribution of completed projects , it was to became a prime source of raw material .\nmixtapes , in their original form , were also something much different . the form of mixtape we know and love today was more than likely started as a result of djs , such as new york\u2019s dj clue , breaking from the traditional norms of the mixtape industry , and creating compilation tapes of new artists looking to break into the scene . as the mixtape became bigger , djs became both gatekeepers and authorities for new music , and as the internet\u2019s rise spawned websites like datpiff , rappers now had a new outlet for their music that didn\u2019t necessarily have to involve a record deal .\nnetwork for hip - hop , an alternative to mainstream forms of radio and studio recordings . in the mixtape & apos ; s heyday , rappers could move raps and push their brand without having to make\n\u201ci think the industry realized the power of the mixtape , and they realized they had to play and be a part of it from a financial standpoint , \u201d drama says . \u201cnow you can barely tell the difference between what someone ' s mixtape is and what someone ' s album is . you still have to technically go to apple music and spend $ 9 . 99 , even if it ' s not their debut album . \u201d\nseems a little flat . it sounds like a classic mixtape , but mixtapes in 2013 don & apos ; t sound like they did in 1990 \u2014 they sound like albums . and often , they sound even better .\nthe internet age , for everything that it did to create the sensation of the freestyle mixtape , is also responsible for its demise . the concept of the freestyle mixtape is one that spawned out of necessity , whether that was a newcomer , a struggling artist stuck in the middle , or a great rapper looking to destroy his peers . however , that necessity all but dissipated with the proliferation of professional and label - sanctioned streaming platforms , the rise of social media , an overabundance of information , and therefore an overabundance of music . the anticipation of a freestyle mixtape from your favorite rapper didn\u2019t seem to matter as much when the competitive stakes weren\u2019t as high .\n\u201cthese things were called mixtapes , and were a great source for discovering music . getting new and unknown songs from all kinds of obscure sources was only part of the fun \u2014 making your own mixtape was even better . \u201d\nthis talk relates the creation of frkn wknd , a video game mixtape that ' s made up of a collection of autobiographical vignette games . without an explicit narrative , a variety of games and their relative order are used to convey a story . this approach relies upon the principles of montage . for example , the first chapter features slices of life that go from coding to testing a game to checking social media and getting harassed , to finally meditating to come back down . each of these games / levels on their own is a specific kind of experience , but in this order , you begin to see the perspective of the phone ' s owner as the player performs as them . overall , alejandro thinks using the game mixtape approach and mobile phone interface allows for some really creative possibilities for level design and flow .\nthe video features contemporary scenes of immigrants working in sweatshops , as farm laborers and other physically challenging jobs , as well as scenes of federal immigration raids and . the song , which features the refrain \u201cimmigrants \u2014 we get the job done , \u201d was inspired by a line from the song \u201cyorktown\u201d in the musical that remains a blockbuster two years after its opening on broadway .\nfor others , such as chamillionaire and his mixtape messiah series , freestyles were an outlet to maintain relevancy that had begun to dwindle after a hot start . in cham\u2019s case , mixtape messiah was an opportunity to stay connected , and without it , his career would have likely died out several years earlier than it finally did in 2009 . with freestyles over everything from \u201ci get money\u201d by 50 cent to \u201ckick , push\u201d by lupe fiasco , chamillionaire\u2019s freestyle mixtapes not only helped him stay relevant by having him try to out - rap the song\u2019s original artists , but by also letting him attach his name to the notoriety of theirs . the freestyle mixtape , for many artists , was communalistic .\nthe encyclopedia of the video mixtape genre , containing almost every notable clip that exists . complete recaps of individual entries can be found at the 5 minutes to live website and most of the clips come from videos they sell 9 . the series has very few instances of extreme footage and is very well edited though most entries lack a theme . footage includes : crispin glover weirdness , tardspasm clips , steve vai\u2019s biggest fan in near entirety , mr . t\u2019s be somebody or be somebody\u2019s fool , bollywood clips , sex -

- and the economics of the mixtape game shifted along with it .\n\u201cit hurt us solely on the fact that it ' s caused confusion amongst fans when they see a mixtape is out but it ' s not on datpiff , \u201d reilly says . \u201cand that ' s been a hard barrier to break .\nnow , 10 years after the raid of dj drama\u2019s studio , a decade removed from the \u201cmixtape martyr\u201d monikers and the first death of the tape , another era and another business rose up and is dying down , while mixtape culture again re -

written material , as each emcee tries to outmatch the other . despite the lack of true improvisation , the competitive aspect is there , and the end result is just as magical . even if the rappers\u2019 bars weren\u2019t completely new to them in the moment , they were to anyone watching .\nbetween then and thursday night , when the chicago artist\u2019s follow -

2007 mixtapes cite retard - o - tron in their credits , proof of its influence . retard - o - tron is one of the more extreme mixtapes apart from those that are explicitly compilations of extreme footage , featuring ( un ) healthy doses of feces and vomit alongside music videos and cartoons .\nof course , porn aside , many of these mixtapes can hardly be considered legal . who knows how many instances of copyright infringement there are in each one \u2013 dozens would seem conservative \u2013 but since the mixtape scene is still fairly focused and most of the source material so obscure , the creators seem to be largely left alone .\nas the star of the hbo show ,\nthe night of ,\nor maybe from his role in\nrogue one : a star wars story .\nas it turns out , the actor is also a rapper and he lent his talents to the\nhamilton mixtape\nfor the track ,\nimmigrants ( we get the job done ) .\nour memories of the golden age of freestyles and the freestyle mixtape shouldn\u2019t lie in its originality , but in its value to the struggling rapper as a lifeline to their fans . when clipse decided to release their infamous we got it 4 cheap mixtape series , it was in the midst of an ongoing battle with their label following the release of their hit album lord willin\u2019 . the tapes not only offered fans the chance to hear pusha t rap over songs like ghostface killah\u2019s \u201cdaytona 500\u201d or common\u2019s \u201cthe corner , \u201d they provided fans the chance to hear pusha t rap . . . period . if a particular rapper couldn\u2019t push their music through the proper channel , then why not just spend time recording over music that already had ?\naav starts with an intriguing television segment detailing a failed bob crane special in the hawaiian islands . apparently , crane and crew offended the gods by taking pieces of lava and disrespecting idols , and it is posited that crane\u2019s death was the result of a curse . the clips that follow continue this focus on mysticism and incorporate footage from television psychics and haxan . other notable inclusions are a segment from the amazing wally george show , classic horror cartoons from the twenties , and a religious video detailing the sins committed by the eighties\u2019 cartoon she - ra . repeats the same budd dwyer footage found in tv sphincter .\nby the time of the raid , mixtapes had grown from homemade mix cassettes sold on street corners and barbershops to an underground , semi - legal marketplace where album - quality releases from high - profile rappers generated between 30 million and 50 million sales each year , according to the riaa , working out to a conservative estimate of $ 150 million to $ 250 million annually by the end of 2006 . the music industry generally looked the other way , exchanging lost royalties for the promotion and buzz that artists could build from the streets up with multiple \u201cunauthorized\u201d releases per year . if the raid that day just over 10 years ago wasn\u2019t quite the day the mixtape died , it was the day the mixtape , and the industry around it , changed forever .\nthere\u2019s a network of things an artist has to have to be viable , so if you got the right position on worldstar , the right position on the mixtape websites , you can gain a fan base , \u201d says one manager . but , he adds ,\nyou gotta pay to play , because the game is now is an artist - consumer type of thing . \u201d\nthe feeling that coloring book is a mixtape by a hip - hop fan , for hip - hop fans is even further cemented as chance still personally posted the release on reddit\u2019s popular hiphopheads forum late on release night with the simple message \u201cenjoy\u201d . by working outside the system , chance has managed to stay closely in touch with his city , his community and his musical and lyrical inspirations .\nin addition to clipse , chamillionaire and crooked i , whose hip - hop weekly freestyle series spanned a whopping 52 weeks in an attempt to gain notoriety after label troubles at death row kept him out of the spotlight for years , the freestyle mixtape was also an important part of lil wayne & apos ; s rise to superstardom in the mid & apos ; 00s . da drought , dedication and no ceilings were all freestyle mixtape series that allowed weezy to assert his dominance over other rappers . especially on da drought 3 , where wayne utterly eviscerated nearly every popular song at the time\u2014from beyonc\u00e9\u2019s \u201cupgrade u\u201d to dj unk\u2019s \u201cwalk it out\u201d\u2014making it known that he was , in fact , the greatest rapper in the world , and if anyone disagreed with him he would just rap over their beat and prove it .\neventually , with a premium placed on individual songs , surprise albums , and the idea that anyone and everyone can release music to the internet , the freestyle mixtape became nothing more than white noise ; a drop in a pond that sits under a perpetual rainstorm of new releases . the competition of rap transformed itself into something else entirely , and that new dna shows almost no traces of the freestyle in it .\ncompare the traditional freestyle with that of lupe fiasco\u2019s \u201cfreestyle\u201d over a \u201cdead presidents\u201d instrumental . the lyrics are clearly written , refined and calculated to fit perfectly over the beat . although it isn\u2019t a freestyle in terms of the original definition , this type of remix would become what rap fans obsessed over for years , with every artist attempting to best their fellow artists over their own songs . with that , came the freestyle mixtape .\n\u201ca mixtape , at its core , is rapping over other artists ' beats that ' s already out and known , \u201d says styles p , a member of the lox who came up in the 1990s and has released more than a dozen mixtapes in his career , taking the purist\u2019s point of view . \u201cand it ' s a free project . you don ' t charge for it and it ' s not original music . \u201d\nat the time , mainstream hip - hop was nearing the end of the ringtone rap era , when tracks like mims \u2019 \u201cthis is why i\u2019m hot\u201d and soulja boy \u2019s \u201ccrank that ( soulja boy ) \u201d spent weeks atop the hot 100 . but as the mixtape world was changing , it was rescued , and ultimately re - shaped , by the next crop of rappers on the rise as the decade wore on and turned over .\nlos angeles & apos ; dubb has had a long journey to reach this point in his career . from cyphering in nickerson gardens alongside a young kendrick lamar to being featured on nipsey hussle & apos ; s highly buzzed about crenshaw , he has been steadily building up his relevance . yesterday , he released his latest mixtape , never content . included on the 16 - song tape are collaborations with nipsey , rickie jacobs , and iamsu ! , among others .\nat the same time , labels\u2019 stance on tapes changed once again ; having come around to their value in building an artist\u2019s independent brand , labels slowly began re - releasing mixtapes to digital distributors and streaming sites once a signing became publicly official , packaging them as retail mixtapes or eps . that had the effect of turning the promotional product back into the retail product - - and permanently blurring the line between a promotional street mixtape and an official retail album .\n\u201cit was like , \u2018wow , if drama can get locked up for this , nobody ' s safe , \u2019\u201d drama remembers . \u201cmixunit was the biggest mixtape website ; [ the raid ] shifted their whole way of doing business and they stopped selling mixtapes . various djs went on to find other avenues to structure their career and move on . a philly bootlegger who used to make cds told me , just last night , after the raid happened he left the game and did something else . \u201d\nthe new generation\u2019s rise bolstered these mixtape sites and transformed them into gatekeepers themselves . offering projects to registered and non - registered users for free , datpiff and livemixtapes independently developed a new business model for the industry , one based off advertising , exclusive partnerships and behind - the - scenes payments to and from artists in exchange for exclusive hosting rights and prime site placement . a business once based on cash transactions and back - door deals moved into the digital age with only the format truly changing .\nfor artists who already have a fan base , the pay - to - play model is flipped on its head . one artist , when asked how he decides which mixtape site to upload his projects to , responded ,\ndepends on who wants to pay more ,\nputting the amount on offer in the\nthousands .\none indie label owner said an artist on his roster with a couple mixtapes under their belt was paid $ 40 , 000 for a project by my mixtapez ; a tour sponsorship ran an additional $ 15 , 000 . multiple sources estimated the payment to a powerhouse mixtape artist like lil wayne or future to be around $ 50 , 000 for the right to be the tape ' s exclusive host , despite the fact that tapes are almost guaranteed to surface on every major site within a matter of hours ( or minutes ) after a release . reilly said in 2014 that datpiff had exclusive deals with djs like drama , cannon and holiday to host every tape they put out .\nover the next several years , artists like j . cole , drake , big sean , meek and kendrick lamar emerged from this digital mixtape circuit to become forces of that new generation and spark major label bidding wars ; wiz khalifa has said that datpiff specifically aided his rise to multi - platinum recording artist . their album - quality tapes , distributed for free online , came with mastered audio quality , allowing them to build fan bases while labels stayed behind the scenes and allowed grassroots followings to build organically .\nthe freestyle mixtape was its own tour de force . it didn\u2019t ascribe to any regulatory notions of what rap should be , and instead , artists decided for themselves how best to compete in an industry run by labels looking to gain an upper hand on their fame before they could . it was its own entity ; a culmination of both the rise of dj - hosted street albums and the increasing demand for rappers to out - rap their biggest rivals on their own songs , and it was saving careers .\nwould not have had as brilliant of a reception \u2014 and would not have pushed the man & apos ; s career as far \u2014 if it had been released for sale . the combination of that core creative freedom \u2014 which mixtapes have always afforded \u2014 and the new serious artistic effort going into mixtape production ( which is only encouraged by the broad availability of high quality studio software like pro tools ) is pushing hip - hop music as a whole to the next level . it & apos ; s keeping rap fresh .\nwhile the use of mix tapes in hip hop music can be traced back to the mid - 1970s in new york city , when local artists like kool herc and africa bambaataa began recording their live performances on audio cassette tapes , the term \u201cmixtape\u201d in its contemporary sense has been used since as early as the 1990s to describe any full - length hip hop album that is released for free or for promotion of an artist\u2019s upcoming official release , whether it be made of written verses or freestyle set to original composition and remixes of popular tracks .\nthe raid changed that . before drama and cannon were arrested on rico charges - - shorthand for the racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act , more commonly associated with mobsters than djs - - the riaa\u2019s focus had been on piracy , particularly digital file sharing , and shutting down small , local record shops that traded in bootlegs and mixtapes . a high - profile target like drama , whose gangsta grillz mixtape series includes installments from lil wayne , gucci mane , meek mill and jeezy and is widely regarded as the most influential ever , sent shock waves through the system .\n\u201ci don ' t think it ' s dead - - it\u2019s definitely evolved - - but it ' s also not my place to decide that , \u201d drama says . \u201ci ' ve made my mark . looking back on it 10 years later , from the raid , where it was almost like , \u2018wow , the mixtape game is over , \u2019 it was like a phoenix arose from that . mixtapes are the veins of hip - hop culture and they always have been . and who knows if there ' s another young budding superstar on the way ? \u201d\non the afternoon of jan . 16 , 2007 , just over 10 years ago , dj drama and dj don cannon were arrested on federal racketeering and bootlegging charges related to the alleged sale of mixtapes . authorities , backed by the riaa , confiscated more than 80 , 000 cds and thousands of dollars worth of assets and recording equipment from the duo\u2019s atlanta studio during the raid , as drama and cannon were dubbed \u201cmixtape martyrs , \u201d taking the fall for a scene that had fostered the early rap careers of 50 cent , t . i . and young jeezy , to name a few .\nthe freestyle mixtape would eventually die out , and there are ample reasons for its death . today , the industry that was once dominated by major labels has transformed into smaller , independent pockets of artists , who maintain more creative control over their music than ever before . it feels as though the industry has split itself into two parts\u2014the artists who strive for quality and the artists who strive for quantity . each has their own distinct version of creative control , and there are now fewer artists stuck in the middle waiting out some label deal , hoping to record anything even if it\u2019s over another rapper\u2019s beat .\nto cope , datpiff has been leveraging its relationships with artists and labels to be included in digital - first releases ; for dc4 , for instance , reilly was able to cut a deal with meek\u2019s label atlantic to stream the project but replace the download option with a \u201cbuy\u201d option ; reilly says datpiff sent 100 , 000 people to the purchase link , resulting in 25 , 000 sales . but , he says , it\u2019s been \u201cmore of a pain\u201d as labels take these marquee releases out of their original forums and place them in the mainstream eye . it\u2019s caused sites like his to re - assess once again their place in the mixtape ecosystem , as both platform and library .\nby january 2014 , three top mixtape sites - - datpiff , livemixtapes and audiomack - - were pulling in a combined 7 million unique visitors per month in the u . s . alone , according to comscore data , with datpiff leading the way at 3 . 1 million uniques . but soundcloud , which that month boasted 250 million monthly users and raised $ 60 million on a $ 700 million valuation , largely based on its appeal in the dance music space , was becoming attractive . rising mcs like chance the rapper and the migos , whose growing local and blog buzz meant they no longer needed a larger stage to host their projects , gravitated to soundcloud\u2019s open platform , devoid of gatekeepers .\nif you look hard enough , you can still find plenty of individual freestyles floating around the internet on a daily basis . the same radio shows will invite rappers on to spit a few bars over the latest beats , and at times , you might even come across something special , lyrically speaking . there\u2019s a component missing , though . one that almost feels indescribable . each freestyle now feels like a puzzle piece separated from its contextual box , and we , the listeners , have no way to discern how one freestyle is better than the next . hip - hop\u2019s competitive nature has always been what\u2019s made its dominance over recent pop culture so fascinating , and the small but important iteration that the freestyle mixtape was to that dominance can never be forgotten .\nthe raw , diy hustle of the mixtape has had such a profound influence on hip - hop culture that the style and the terminology have persisted even though the mixtapes of today sound and feel nothing like those of the past . mixtapes still serve their original purpose \u2014 spreading the word and freeing rappers from the constraints of making marketable music \u2014 but now it & apos ; s just being done with new layers of effort and polish . free albums now have studio - quality sound , but are governed by none of the traditional studio conventions like poppy hooks or simplistic radio - structures . the result is that many recent mixtapes are miles beyond studio hip - hop in quality , intricacy , and artistic value . the critics have eaten it up \u2014 check out any\nin 2011 , benjy grinberg of rostrum records , which fostered the careers of khalifa and mac miller , said the only difference between mixtapes and albums was \u201cyou don ' t make any direct money off\u201d tapes ; just three years later , even that line had been erased as the practice became widespread . goldlink \u2019s the god complex became available for sale in the itunes store , for example , months after its initial release . mixtape singles like rich homie quan \u2019s \u201ctype of way\u201d were remastered and began regularly making their way onto the hot 100 chart . drake\u2019s if you\u2019re reading this , it\u2019s too late , was released in february 2015 directly through the itunes store and debuted at no . 1 on the billboard 200 , disregarding a free period of any kind in its entirety . datpiff\u2019s traffic , according to comscore data , would never pass 3 million uniques in a month again .\nmixtapes are also known for the strange and unusual material they can contain . from weird b - movies to sporting accidents and dramatic news footage , through to unintelligible tv shows and rare pilots from countries far and wide , they contain all types of mind boggling clips that most people never knew existed . the heavy doses of porn and various stomach - churning activities and curiosities turn some of these tapes into controversial items , even on the underground .\n\u201cbefore the internet was available in every household , many people around the world used to trade music with each other by taping stuff from their collections onto audio cassettes , and sending them to each other by snail mail , \u201d zxql told torrentfreak .\n\u201cp2p offers you a nearly unlimited library of digital media : there\u2019s no song obscure enough for you not to find it , \u201d says zxql enthusiastically . \u201ceven better : there is so much stuff out there that still needs to be discovered , the chase is as much fun as the catch . mixtapes help you show what\u2019s out there . \u201d\nfinding the source material can be entertaining in itself , zxql explained . \u201cthere\u2019s so much about today\u2019s availability of media that makes this so much fun : hunting for that perfect clip to end your sequence , exploring new music by just typing in keywords and seeing what comes up . \u201d\nhaving laughed , cried , been bemused , shocked and sickened all within the space of a few minutes at retard - o - tron 2 \u2013 i can see what zxql meant by \u201cbe amazed\u201d at the kind of footage available . while a lot of the footage is suitable for everyone ( and some of the b - movies and obscure footage is amazing ) , overall it is definitely one for the over 18\u2019s . actually , better make that 25 , with a very broad mind too .\nto be honest i would have preferred fewer sex scenes , as i think i would\u2019ve watched more of it . we understand rot1 is more of an easy ride . \u201crot3 is in the making , and it will feature less porn , \u201d zxql reassured me . \u201cor at least easier to view with a group of people , so it won\u2019t be as explicit . rot2 kinda went overboard with the porn , i think so myself , \u201d he added .\nfor those wanting rot1 or rot2 on dvd , one is available from the site , but there are other ways to watch . rot1 was already ripped and released by a group specializing in releasing cult and b - movies called pimprippaz . rot2 was ripped by a similar group called videocult who zxql says did a much better job and delivered a high quality , scene - standard compliant rip . he\u2019s happy for people to grab these rips of course , adding ;\n\u201cin the end , i just want the ultimate thing i can create . not held back by copyright , censorship , good taste , a commercial drive or other barriers . i wanted a dvd for when my buddies and i chill on the couch with a beer and a bong . i love making my mixtapes , and i love watching them . it\u2019s a hobby , it\u2019s underground and it might even be considered art \u2013 but it isn\u2019t about money . \u201d\ni kept this on the under for too long . . . . . enjoy !\nactivate autoplay for your embedded videos so people with eyeballs can start watching immediately .\nsubscribe to the all -

blank range every day . but they shoot first . ben foster plays staff sergeant will montgomery , a decorated soldier recovering from injuries sustained in iraq . with three months to go before his enlistment period ends and he returns to civilian life , montgomery is redeployed to the casualty notification team under the formidable command of captain tony stone , played by woody harrelson : they will be a two -

full of dramatic moments , all handled exquisitely by moverman , but one scene in particular toward the end of the film will grip you like nothing you\u2019ve seen before , and it\u2019s worth the price of admission alone . it is a scene in which montgomery shares his experiences in iraq with stone , who eventually breaks down in tears . foster is astonishing here and in my opinion , this scene alone should net him an oscar .\n48 year -

( ethics on film , august 2013 . article )\nwhen watching the film and trying to figure out who has agency over whom it seemed difficult because of the fact that there are several characters that are involved .\naunt millicent clearly indicates what role she believes wendy should possess in society with her reply , \u201cbut child , novelists are not highly thought of in good society , and there is nothing so difficult to marry as a novelist . \u201d\nthe film misrepresents , through the use of footage four decades old , that seaworld takes a cavalier approach to safety and qualifications of its trainers . this is completely untrue . the path to becoming a killer whale trainer is rigorous and lengthy : it takes years to be qualified to work with killer whales . the film ignores all the steps and protocols trainers must take in order to be promoted through the ranks .\nhowever , her desire to fly could also be attributed to interpellation\u2014she wants to be able to do what everyone else is able to .\nto take the pig to a cottage in the forest to keep her safe .\nunfortunately , those alternative positions are never fully articulated in the film , nor , for that matter , are any specific problems with the revised chronology . by short handing particular perspectives , the film becomes biased towards rohl\u2019s revised chronological solution , when other solutions could have been discussed . when i asked mahoney media why that was the case , steve law , the film\u2019s co - writer , indicated that test audiences wound up becoming fatigued by \u201cto much information . \u201d ultimately he indicated that \u201cto us , the emphasis given in the film to the general idea of chronological revision not only was more cinematically engaging , but also has the most explanatory potency . \u201d\nanya is a strong willed , brave , and intelligent girl . through out the film she is learning to become russian royalty , all the character surrounding her expect her to become the princess anastasia .\n5 . to advance both its anti -

changing , \u201dmahoney opts to change everything we think we know about egyptian history in order to get it to match more closely with the biblical chronology . but , contrary to what the filmmakers would have you believe , there is nothing new here , just a dejected theory . indeed , most of the scholars interviewed in the film , even those who believe in a traditional biblical dating of the exodus , reject this revised chronology and opt for less - sensational , less provocative , less game changing , more accurate and more nuanced descriptions of the archaeological evidence of the exodus .\nfamily is portrayed as poor and unhappy . nothing seems to go right for them , mainly because of the fact that they don\u2019t have any material wealth . the rich family holds the happiness of the poor family in its hands . the rich family has\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nthough there may be some sarcasm meant by the writers of the film it still says to society that it is okay to have your own opinions as a women but when it comes to her husband she better be obedient and believe what he says .\nlike far too many comedians - turned - actors , cook mistakes a dour expression and permanent frown for a dramatic performance . cook is miscast and unconvincing as a husband , therapist , and inveterate brooder , but his incongruous presence is all that sets this film apart from the never - ending flood of everything - is - connected crash / magnolia / amores perros knock - offs littering undiscriminating film festivals . answers to nothing \u2019s thinly drawn characters orbit one another like fading satellites until their stories intersect and overlap in arbitrary ways . it doesn\u2019t build to a climax so much as it winds down with a halfhearted shrug and a few feeble false shots of hope . ( maybe we aren\u2019t so different after all ! ) films like these have taught us that suffering is the incontrovertible existential fate of attractive los angeles residents . must these dour exercises in alienation make audiences suffer as well ?\nit is something used to make the readers rethink how they are conditioned to react to books .\nin the 2003 universal pictures version of \u201cpeter pan , \u201d the children are depicted as strong , independent individuals with their own agency throughout a great portion of the film .\n2 . the film relies on former seaworld employees , most of whom have little experience with killer whales , and others who haven\u2019t worked at seaworld in nearly 20 years .\nand what\u2019s it all about ? oh , you know : a bunch of depressed and sinful people are seeking redemption in the big city , occasionally affecting others while learning lessons they probably don\u2019t deserve . built around lackluster \u201ca - ha ! \u201d moments that are sprinkled throughout a laborious 123 - minute running time , the movie skips from scene to scene , intro to intro , dropping breadcrumbs with the nagging promise that all will come together . but rarely have the ends of such a structure felt so daft and unrewarding , and it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess what one asinine moral or random affirmation has to do with the other . why does ryan observe that , \u201cintellectually [ he ] knows what love is , but emotionally [ he ] forgot\u201d ? why is his estranged , overseas father stringing his lonely mother along ? why is the nerdy gamer prone to kumbaya vigilantism ? speculation is futile , as plausible , worthwhile answers are the last things answers to nothing is prepared to give . not that you really cared anyway .\nas the story the progresses the boy\u2019s age drastically changes from child to teenager to adult to elder to a frail dying old man .\nis significant because it remains the oldest surviving example of african american feature filmmaking . it is also critical to understanding micheaux ' s oeuvre because of the many ways he reworked the film after its original release .\nthe film similarly trades in fictional theories about the circumstances surrounding the death of daniel dukes , an intruder who broke into the back area of shamu stadium after hours and jumped into tilikum\u2019s pool . the film claims there was a \u201cpublic relations version\u201d of the death and that mr . dukes\u2019 death was somehow caused by an act of aggression by tilikum . a review of the official sheriff\u2019s report reveals that virtually nothing said in the film about our conduct that day is true . in fact , naomi rose , ph . d . , an outspoken critic of seaworld who actually appears in the credits to blackfish , was quoted after the incident as saying \u201c since the body was found on tilikum\u2019s back , it\u2019s unlikely the whale was behaving aggressively\u2026\u2026 . the whale was probably playing with the man and continued to play with the body after the man died . \u201d\nthe film falsely suggests that seaworld \u201cblamed\u201d ms . brancheau for her death . we have never done that . she was our colleague and we mourn her loss to this day . the film , however , does blame ms . brancheau , and it accomplishes this through former trainers with little or no relevant experience . these trainers were not present on the day she died , and callously presume to critique her interaction with tilikum .\nafter twelve years of work , filmmaker tim mahoney is finally releasing , for one night only ( tonight ) his documentary , \u201cpatterns of evidence , \u201d about the archaeological and historical evidence for the biblical exodus . i had the opportunity to view a pre - released version of the film back in november and can attest to the production value that twelve years of work creates . the film has already won awards for its craftsmanship .\neventually attracted the attention of george p . johnson , booking manager of the lincoln motion picture company , a successful black film production company . the lincoln company expressed interest in filming the novel but during negotiations micheaux decided he should supervise the motion picture production in los angeles . this was not acceptable to the lincoln management and ultimately led to the formation of the author ' s own firm , the micheaux film and book company .\non the plus side , it doesn\u2019t seem like cook is the problem . it\u2019s impossible to judge his performance from these brief clips , but from here he looks no better or worse than any of the other actors in the movie \u2014 all of whom have much more dramatic acting experience than cook does . answers to nothing may not be the ideal start for this new period in cook\u2019s career , but if he does well here , who knows ? he probably won\u2019t become the next tom hanks , but maybe he could be the next dax shepard . that guy used to star in things like let\u2019s go to prison , and now critics are always going on about how surprisingly good he is in parenthood .\n, however , decides to go off on his own to try ( again ) to help his colony .\nthe readers have to be conscious to how they respond to such material , as opposed to a conservative book that reinforces old ideas or beliefs .\nseaworld was aware of keltie byrne\u2019s death when it acquired tilikum . we adopted special precautionary protocols regarding work with tilikum , including prohibition of performance in - water work . these protocols were impressed upon all trainers who worked with tilikum , yet the film falsely implies that important safety information about tilikum and his background were withheld . this is untrue . nothing was ever concealed from tilikum\u2019s trainers . during the osha trial surrounding ms . brancheau\u2019s accident , seaworld provided more than 35 hours of testimony concerning our killer whale program and topics such as our detailed safety protocols and how they are communicated to our trainers . all of this testimony was in the possession of the filmmakers , but ignored by the film .\ngerald butters

interpreted as to never take advantage of a mothers love , but there is nothing funny about the mother figure in the book being used up at the end and the so called \u201cboy\u201d as an old man near death . it could be seen that the old man came to the tree to die ; he says that he needs \u201cjust a quiet place to sit and rest .\nthis is the problem with the documentary format . it is not the best format to put forth and test supposed \u201cnew\u201d ideas and solutions no matter how much they are qualified by \u201cperhaps\u2019s\u201d and \u201ccould\u2019s . \u201d time constraints mean that creditable opposition is never addressed . in \u201cpatterns , \u201d all scholarship becomes flattened in a \u201cthem\u201d vs . the revised chronology paradigm . the film lumps together traditional biblical maximilists and secular minimalists in a gang of \u201carchaeological giants\u201d that the revised chronology will take down with nothing but a sling and a prayer .\nseparation : the film highlights two separations . in one instance , involving a whale named takara , the film leaves you with the impression she was a calf when separated . in fact , takara was 12 years old when she was moved . in the second , involving a whale named kalina , the film misleadingly shows footage of a calf that is only days old . kalina was moved when she was 4 \u00bd years old because she was disruptive to her mother and other whales . we do not separate killer whale moms and calves , and in the rare occurrences that we do move whales among our parks , we do so only in order to maintain a healthy social structure .\none of his most provocative and scandalous . released shortly after a summer of race riots in 1919 and criticized by segments of both the black and white communities , the film had numerous problems with the censors .\nto continue on , this book has a very similar layout to that series .\nmuch more responsibility and has to learn to believe in himself before others will .\nwhile i think the film will be popular among many church - goers as a new arrow in the quiver of apologetics , i doubt many serious biblical scholars will agree with its conclusions . indeed , those conclusions are widely connected to a historical theory which has been carefully negated in scholarship ( even among otherwise orthodox biblical scholars ) . because of this , i fear that the film\u2019s popularity with churches will wind up leaving the church ridiculed for trying to fire another broken arrow at the \u201cwhite tower establishment\u201d .\nafter viewing product detail

blatantly mischaracterizes the events that led to the death of trainer keltie byrne at sealand of the pacific , a park that was never owned or operated by seaworld . tilikum was one of three whales in the sea pen at the time ms . byrne drowned , and the jury in the coroner\u2019s inquest ( the canadian investigation of the incident ) , which considered the testimony of 19 witnesses , did not identify any one of the three whales as the leader in the incident . nevertheless , the film claims that tilikum was the instigator , relying upon an interview given by two local residents . another key fact never disclosed in the film : david duffus , who is featured in the film numerous times as an \u201cexpert\u201d , was the foreman of this very same coroner\u2019s jury that investigated the sealand incident . mr . duffus testified that it was inconclusive that tilikum was primarily responsible for the death of ms . byrne .\n1 . blackfish employs false and emotionally manipulative

to her home with her parents .\n, in that the other ants try to force him to act like everyone else .\ncauses us to challenge all that we have known to be true about educational books .\nshe is introduced in the film as a women\u2019s rights activist and how she protests all the time and is incredibly active in things that could easily get her arrested ; when mr . banks is home she is extremely submissive .\nwe object to blackfish because its two central premises are wrong : ( 1 ) that life at seaworld is harmful for killer whales and for trainers working with these animals , and ( 2 ) that seaworld has attempted to cover up the facts surrounding the tragic death of trainer dawn brancheau in 2010 , as well the history of tilikum , the killer whale involved in that accident . nothing could be further from the truth .\npurely for shock value , the film includes a recording of an emt technician , subsequently proved to be mistaken , suggesting that tilikum swallowed ms . brancheau\u2019s arm during the incident . this is false . this fact was readily available to the filmmaker in the documentation she obtained from the secretary of labor , yet was not included .\nlisa , a little girl , has to explain an extremely important concept to her father .\nthis factor does make the book more appealing to children by appealing to the imagination but uses this to bring about more serious themes which many wouldn\u2019t assume to be in a children\u2019s book .\nin children\u2019s film anastasia ( which is not a disney movie ) there are a lot of forms of interpellation , which i have never noticed before . interpellation is when a film or book works to make certain social values more important . these can be values of race , gender , class , or any other values society thinks are important . in the video \u201cmickey mouse monopoly\u201d they look at how disney tries to portray values within their films . some watch this and can\u2019t believe they did not see it before but that is why interpellation is so important , it is mostly done unconsciously .\nin six hundred theaters tonight , viewers will come away from the film with no idea that they have just picked up a broken arrow . they won\u2019t know that the revised egyptian chronology is not a new theory and has been shown to create as many problems for biblical chronology as it solves .\nis a controversial character because of her ability to do as she pleases even around men but she still plays right into the stereotype that the male should be in the dominant seat . the film does seem to have a hint of sarcasm about the role of the women as stated earlier but in the end it seems to be just a bit of humor that does not disprove the interpellation .\nrather , they wait in ambush for peter pan and wendy to attempt to rescue the boys .\nthey show kindness to the dwarf throughout the story even though he was not nice to them .\nis forced to show him where the cauldron is to save both his life and the pig\u2019s .\ntries to defend herself and fight back , but eventually gives in to her emotions and cries .\n, but she never asks him to , or orders him to , or even suggests it .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\nthe text does not wish for children to challenge the things that their mother tells them to do .\nshe allowed agency to be taken when there was a lesson to be taught in letting them go .\nto bring him back and help the rest of the colony\u2014and this time she is able to fly .\nthe morrow of his wedding would mean death to her to foam on the sea\u201d ( 69 ) .\nbook series used to be my absolute favorite book to read for the very same reasons listed above .\n2 . the film relies on former seaworld employees , most of whom have little experience with killer whales , and others who haven\u2019t worked at seaworld in nearly 20 years : these individuals , who speak with apparent authority , have little or no firsthand knowledge of the incidents they describe . most of them had no experience with tilikum , and several never even performed with killer whales in the water . the film\u2019s \u201ccast\u201d is completely unfamiliar with current conditions and techniques at seaworld , and are certainly in no position to critique a trainer of dawn brancheau\u2019s caliber or her last interaction with tilikum .\nthis would allow the archaeological remains associated with earlier egyptian dynasties to coincide with a 1450 date for the exodus . fantastically depicted in the film\u2019s best feature , an imaginary expanding \u201cwall of time\u201d shows how the different levels ( biblical chronology , egyptian chronology etc . ) are aligned by rohl , bimson and mahoney\u2019s chronological shift .\nbefore finally admitting to his parents that he found the answers to the iq test , cory takes a second intelligence test . this test reveals that he has the iq of an average sixth grader . cory proudly says , \u201cyep , that\u2019s me . the lights are on but nobody\u2019s home . \u201d by saying \u201cnobody\u2019s home , \u201d the writer indicates that someone of sixth grade intelligence is brainless . it is this common assumption that adds to the adult - centeredness of the episode because adults like mr . feeney are portrayed with high intelligence , while the child is not corrected when calling himself a moron .\nwhen wendy begins to talk of her dreams of adventure , her aunt millicent puts a stop to it .\nby , having the ability to outsmart the adults , hansel proved to have a great amount of agency .\nafter mary has accomplished what she came to do , which would be to show the family how to be a family and how to have fun and take the time they have and cherish it , she allowed the agency to be taken back by mr . banks .\nall of the falsehoods and misleading techniques in blackfish are employed in the service of the film\u2019s obvious bias , one that is best revealed near the end of blackfish by a neuroscientist with no known expertise in killer whales . she claims that all killer whales in captivity are \u201cemotionally destroyed , \u201d and \u201cticking time bombs . \u201d these are not the words of science , and indeed , there is not a shred of scientific support for them . rather , they are the words of animal rights activists whose agenda the film\u2019s many falsehoods were designed to advance . they reveal \u201cblackfish\u201d not as an objective documentary , but as propaganda .\nthe scene then changes to cory\u2019s home . his mom and younger sister , morgan , are discussing when morgan can get a halloween costume . the mom tells morgan that she is very busy with work but that eric , the oldest son , will take her shopping . eric enters the room and asks morgan , \u201cwant to learn how to be a big girl ? \u201d morgan with great excitement answers , \u201cyeah ! \u201d this sends the message to the children viewing the show that being a \u201cbig girl\u201d or grown - up is more desirable than being a child . eric responds to her excitement by saying , \u201cbecause big girls know how to take out the trash so their brothers don\u2019t have to . \u201d morgan knows better than to fall for this , but the scene exemplifies interpellation in the sense that eric has been given a typical male job . morgan becomes impatient and again announces her desire for a halloween costume . eric agrees to help but can not do it unassisted . he still needs his mom to take them to the store and his dad , when he gets off from work , to then pick them up .\nby dr . and mr . doris haggis - on - whey to assess how it relates to other books .\nthe mere appearance of the book is shockingly similar to those i have read as a tool to induce learning .\nthe book is just too progressive and turns how we would normally react to a story from natural to unnatural .\nthere are many possible reasons why the mbti is so entrenched in workplaces and promoted so enthusiastically . there ' s the expense and training involved , mentioned above . it may be because everyone uses it , so people conclude it must be reliable , and thus its success becomes self perpetuating . also , any personality type you get assigned is invariably positive . there is no combination of answers you could give on the mbti which says ' you ' re an arsehole ' .\nin that kind of book , the author usually wants to the reader to think for her or himself , to understand that some things are difficult , even for adults .\ndot is very rebellious and attempts to gain agency in a few ways , the first of which is trying to use her wings to fly before they were fully grown .\n3 . the film also relies on animal rights activists masquerading as scientists : the film relies heavily on the dubious reflections of scientists who have aggressively campaigned against marine mammal display for decades , and have no expertise with killer whale behavior in captivity . these scientists include howard garrett , lori marino and ken balcomb . mr . garrett , along with cast members samantha berg and carol ray , joined with peta in a previously filed lawsuit against seaworld . in this lawsuit , they equated seaworld\u2019s work with killer whales as slavery under the 13th amendment . although their case was promptly dismissed by the court , their anti - captivity bias is obvious . likewise , the film relies on the statements of david duffus , a professor of geography and purported expert in the area of killer whale behavior , whom occupational safety and health administration\u2019s ( osha ) judge kenneth welsch found \u201c has no expertise in the training of captive killer whales . \u201d\nis free to say and do what he pleases , to whomever . this scene depicts the role reversal of authority .\nit seems as if in this case interpellation coincides with agency which seems to put the happy ending to the movie .\nshe seems very rule - oriented and unable to function unless she knows what it is she is expected to do .\nshe seems to be unable to simply observe a situation and come up with an answer\u2014she has to know what was done in the past , what her mother did , etc .\nthis is a way for authors to pass on their ideals without observably stating the idea they wish to pass on .\n, the big he tends to , is an oracular pig , he is pushed to take on a new role .\nthe film includes a seaworld video of a female trainer riding a killer whale , while one of the cast members , samantha berg , talks about her \u201cexperience\u201d at shamu stadium . this segment misleadingly implies that ms . berg had relevant experience when , in fact , the video used in the film was shot 10 years after ms . berg had left seaworld . the trainer depicted in the video is not ms . berg but rather is a current seaworld employee . of just the 3 years ms . berg spent working at seaworld , she spent only one year working with killer whales and she never conducted direct training with tilikum .\nthe original english intertitles were lost , except in four cases . the film has since been restored by the library of congress but the intertitles on the restoration only approximate micheaux ' s originals . translated back into english from the spanish translations , the original african american syntax and slang were lost in the new version .\nthat said , epstein ' s concerns about spielberg ' s emphasis should not be dismissed entirely . the danger that schindler ' s list will be interpreted as a story of triumph and exceptionalism is absolutely real . at the same time , it is hard to imagine a film about the holocaust reaching an audience of this size without giving the viewer some cause for hope and optimism .\nfor a while , wendy realizes that she does not belong there and chooses to return to the safety of her family .\nhe uses the spaceship ( which shrinks to a microscopic level ) to go in peter\u2019s body and terminate all his sperm .\nparents are usually the ones to teach these lessons to children ; however , lisa is the true \u201cparent\u201d in this scene .\nus to think that the men are supposed to be the ones acting on their feelings and saving people and even thinking .\nhe acts as a free agent in that sense\u2014it was his idea to leave , although he did have to get permission .\nget your swag on with discounted movies to stream at home , exclusive movie gear , access to advanced screenings and discounts galore .\nhe first half of the film centers on piney woods ,\nfar from all civilizations and in the depth of the forests of the south where ignorance and the lynch law reign supreme .\nmicheaux clearly points out the geographic distinctions in racial prejudice in the united states . while micheaux encouraged african americans to migrate west rather than north , he clearly illustrated the racial hostility blacks faced in the south .\ngains total agency in this film . he no longer has any parents to tell him what and what not to do . before his family left , kevin was punished because he was fighting with his older brother and was getting in everyone\u2019s way . now , kevin can run around the house and jump on beds , while having no one to tell him to stop . he also takes his brother buzz\u2019s toy rifle from his room and plays with it , something that would have been totally forbidden if buzz were there . a perfect example of kevin displaying agency is when he makes a total mess in the\nin its opening sequence , the film misleadingly cobbles together separate pieces of innocuous training and performance footage , synched with the actual 911 calls , to mislead the audience into believing it is viewing the actual footage of ms . brancheau swimming with tilikum prior to the fatal incident . in fact , the opening sequence does not depict either ms . brancheau or tilikum , or an attack of any kind . from the date tilikum arrived at seaworld , no one was allowed to swim in the water with tilikum , and ms . brancheau never did so .\nrole . in the film , this role is played by the elderly neighbor , who kevin is afraid of for the majority of the movie . however , after talking and the old man admits that he has become a different person because of lost relationships in his life , kevin provides him with advice as well as takes it himself . kevin becomes aware that he needs his family and does not want to lose them like the old man lost his . so the two agree to change and do something about their unfortunate situations . after this conversation , kevin returns home but once he has used up all of his traps to mislead the two burglars , he runs next door to call the police . the men are aware of his game this time and catch him before he is able to . then , when it looks like there is no escape for kevin , the old neighbor hits both burglars and saves kevin , taking him out of the house and away from danger . the adult character coming in at the end to save the child is typical of many children\u2019s texts and also relates to the child and adult centered notion also featured in this film .\namazon giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz , reward your audience , and attract new followers and

and sacrifice her own hunger .\nthings seem to all fall into the stereotypical place that society likes for them to be in both in terms of agency and interpellation .\nnew students are turned away every day because of the lack of funds . sylvia decides that she must raise money for the school . with her bags packed , she tells wilson ,\nit is my duty and the duty of each member of our race to destroy ignorance and superstition .\nthe film then introduces dr . v . vivian ( charles du lucas ) , a man\npassionately engaged in social questions ,\nwho is about to meet sylvia while rescuing her from a thief .\nthe pictures tell the story of everything that is going on , which makes it more or less unnecessary for a child to be able to read in order to understand what is going on in the story

his films , micheaux attempted to demonstrate the qualities needed to be a successful black man . he had written , in\nwatchers of the sky : film screening & conversation with luis moreno - ocampo

effective ? former icc prosecutor moreno - ocampo explains . ( carnegie new leaders , march 2014 . audio , transcript )\nat the beginning of the book , annabelle wanted to be in charge of her own life , and wanted to know why nobody told her mother what to do , and that she wanted the same rights . so , annabelle\u2019s mother switched them to teach annabelle a lesson , so that annabelle could understand exactly what she was saying , and to learn for\ngoes out to investigate and tells anastasia to stay where it is safe . this is saying that it is the male\u2019s job to protect the female and make sure she is safe . there are two events in which\nmrs . banks opinions are totally contradictory to things that mr . banks says but when she talks to him she agrees with everything he says .\nbooks seem to revel in it . but rather than being the simple creatures that we are used to seeing in so many children\u2019s books , the\nseems to resent his human blood because it makes him weaker than other demons , and takes offense to being mocked for his heritage . one of\nsaves her , but after he saves her , she stands up to rasputin and it is her who kills him . throughout the movie anastasia is under great pressure to become the lost princess . at the end of the movie she chooses not to be the princess but instead to be with\ndisclosure of material connection . i was given the opportunity to view an advanced version of the film mentioned above for comment and review . some of the links above are affiliate links . that being said i only promote things which i thoroughly believe my readers will benefit from and that i use myself . i am disclosing this in accordance with the federal trade commission\u2019s 16 cfr , part 255 : \u201cguides concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising . \u201d\npartially right , since \u201cida\u201d is certainly a story of identity ; it\u2019s certainly a spiritual journey , too . his irritation may be caused by a certain hostility in poland to an exiled filmmaker who returns bristling with ideas about the country .

is it , in fact , a controversy worth getting worked up about ? or is nadzam and partridge\u2019s story just something different ? partridge has some ideas .\npartridge , too , is a regular chauvinist , who describes his first sexual encounter with his new wife in painful detail .\ni was a virgin ,\nhe says .\nwhereas carol had been hymen - free for the best part of six years .\non this evidence , the farage who said on lbc that women who wished to breastfeed should\nperhaps sit in the corner , or whatever it might be\n, might well enjoy a pint with partridge .\na dangerously unclassifiable relationship between two lost and lonely individuals is the focus of \u201clamb , \u201d writer - director - star ross partridge\u2019s beautiful and troubling sophomore feature . in adapting bonnie nadzam\u2019s novel about a middle - aged man who befriends a young girl and coaxes her into joining him for a week at his rural hideaway , partridge navigates risky material with assurance , delicacy and a deepening sense of intimacy that can turn , without warning , into complicity : the more at ease we feel in the characters\u2019 company , the more disturbingly questionable the situation becomes . superbly shot and movingly acted , especially by young oona laurence , this arthouse - ready item should prove a potent conversation - starter at festivals , where even naysayers may be hard pressed to deny the film\u2019s cumulative emotional impact .\ni try to be as objective as possible in my interviews , but it should be noted that not only am i a raving fan of ross , of jenn , and of ross & jenn , they also appear in my upcoming movie , 6 love stories . so i could in no way be objective about my love for them when we sat down to discuss their background , their relationship , and the ups and downs of being an indie film couple . but i do hope you\u2019ll find our conversation interesting and inspiring\u2014and be sure to stick around until the end for a special surprise guest appearance !\nread article :\nhappy days\u2019 cast : where are they now ?\nthe\nhappy days\ncast ( clockwise , from top left ) : henry winkler , tom bosley , anson williams , marion ross , ron howard , erin moran , and don most .

[ laughs ]\npaste : please tell me you all have tracked down the employee who picked it and sent them a thank you note . lafleur : that is a great idea ! we haven\u2019t . partridge : i tweeted at the store and they did tweet back , but we should find out who it was . lafleur : ross was like , \u201ci don\u2019t know if i\u2019m crazy , but i think i want to make this into a movie . \u201d i read it that night and was just like , \u201coh , for sure this is what were doing . \u201d we had been bouncing around all these different ideas , and it was just 100 percent crystal clear that this is what it should be . ross went about getting the rights , connecting with the author and building a relationship with her . by december 2013 , we had the rights , and by february 2014 he had written an amazing version of the script that needed very little editing and rewrites , so we just tweaked it a little bit here and there . we were in preproduction by may and shooting by june .\nlamb \u2014 played by the movie\u2019s writer and director , ross partridge \u2014 first meets tommie ( a solid oona laurence ) when she toddles up to him in a parking lot clutching a pink purse and almost falling off her high heels . she\u2019s a stick figure with a curtain of lank hair , but she has grit , watchful eyes and friends who have dared her to bum a cigarette . for reasons that are never altogether clear , including , apparently , to lamb , he gives her a smoke and then hustles her into his suv , insisting that he\u2019s teaching her a cautionary lesson . this abduction turns out to be a practice run for the extended snatching that consumes much of the story .\npaste : that actually suggests another good question . jenn , jumping forward , what is the biggest difference between the way you thought about ross then and the way you think about ross now , as far as who he is ? if you have gone from a breath of fresh air to a hurricane of fresh air , he has gone from what to what for you ? you don\u2019t have to match it in romanticism , you can just be honest . lafleur : i don\u2019t know that it\u2019s changed all that much . i think . partridge : old dog . lafleur : that\u2019s definitely true , there have been moments where i\u2019ve said \u201cpeople don\u2019t change , do they ? \u201d and he\u2019s an old dog . that\u2019s okay , i think that the ways that we are different are what makes it work . i don\u2019t know if ross would be able to operate in this world with someone who is exactly like him , and i don\u2019t know if i would be able to operate in this world with somebody who operates the same as me . i think that if i was with someone just like me , we would run each other to the ground by never stopping . we would go , go , go , go and ross and that other person would run each other to the ground . [ laughs ] he is so incredibly bright and creative and soulful and inventive . he\u2019s always thinking about new things , and i help him harness those things and bring them into a reality . in a lot of ways , he is the creative force behind a lot of the stuff we work on together while i work in the beginning part to get it going and then i grab it and run with it and drag him along with me on the adventures or misadventures , however they may turn . luckily there have been far more adventures than misadventures . i don\u2019t know if that answers your question or not .\npaste : as your relationship progressed , what was the first project you two initiated together ? not just as actors on someone else\u2019s projects , but the first that was yours , that you did together . lafleur : well , after we did bash together , my friend justin ball and i created a small theater company called the great theater , and the first play that we did was called things beyond our control by a playwright i went to grad school with named jesse kellerman , and we knew that we wanted ross to be a part of that . ross\u2019s title was an actor but he had come from a production background and really just came on as producer and made it happen . we were this scrappy little theater company making productions working with new playwrights . we did a couple of plays together doing that . so it really started in the theater , both working as actors . ross had met mark and katie duplass at the nantucket film festival right before he and i met , and they really hit it off . mark encouraged his brother jay to come and see the play that we were in together , to come see bash and after he saw ross in bash , they cast him as the lead in baghead . he said to me , \u201cyou\u2019re wonderful , we don\u2019t really have a role for you , but do you want to come out and play this small little role ? \u201d i had never done a film before , so i was like \u201cyeah , let\u2019s go to austin , texas , let\u2019s do it . \u201d but i think collaborating with the duplass brothers is how we started to work in film together . ross went on to then produce their next film , the do - deca - pentathlon , which i acted in . then we made wedlock together . so we started with them , then peeled off and started to develop scripts . ross would primarily come up with the ideas and bounce them off me , and we would hash them together and go back and forth , and then we would write the script and i would edit them , and then he would do a rewrite . he found the book lamb when he was at skyline books . it was a staff pick , and he kind of just picked it up and started reading it . and an hour later he was just standing there like \u201ci should probably buy this . \u201d\nthe friendship between a middle - aged man and a young girl is at the heart of \u201clamb , \u201d a drama from the director ross partridge , who also stars as the lead character david lamb , and adapted the screenplay from the novel by bonnie nadzam . the character , adrift and searching for meaning , meets an 11 - year - old girl , tommie ( oona laurence ) , in a parking lot when she asks him for a cigarette . this begins an unlikely friendship , one that may raise eyebrows and cause discomfort for many viewers . the film , and book from which it is adapted , looks at the not - easily - definable contours of the relationship in compelling ways , but the subject matter is tricky to say the least .\npaste : [ laughs ] i\u2019m not going to touch that one . partridge : that story has been nearly perfected of how that went down , and every time i tell it , i\u2019m immediately edited with \u201cno , no , no , you\u2019re telling it wrong . \u201d lafleur : [ laughs ] well ross is the one to always kind of downplay things . i , i , have a small\u2014 partridge : and jenn\u2019s always the one to want to embellish things . [ laughs ] lafleur : it is not embellishment . [ laughs ] just a little flourish here and there . partridge : it kind of goes back to how different our paths are . she comes from this beautiful type of background where her parents love her , they adore her , they have video footage of her singing when she was four , five six , seven , eight , nine , 10 , 11 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 . lafleur : i mean , i\u2019m still sending them videos . partridge : the first time i went over to her house , her dad was like \u201chave you seen the dvds ? \u201d and i\u2019m like \u201cwhat are the dvds ? \u201d and it is literally chronologically organized from every month of jenn\u2019s life since she was like five . [ laughs ] it\u2019s her singing , every month of her life since she was five . so i come from a background where we\u2019d move around and have a family get - together and look at each other and wonder \u201chow the hell are we related ? \u201d [ laughs ] we come from completely different upbringings . so i\u2019d say one is light , one is dark and somehow we find it in the middle . so yeah , jenn is better at telling happier stories , that\u2019s not my natural tendency .\nnow in her 80s , ross continues to perform on the small screen , acting in a variety of series and tv movies . she has enjoyed recurring roles on such shows as gilmore girls and brothers and sisters . her trademark red hair and warm smile have been seen on everything from medical drama grey anatomy to the family sitcoms the middle and hot in cleveland . she also has provided the voice of grandma squarepants on the popular cartoon , spongebob squarepants .\npaste : do you have \u201cwork ross & jenn\u201d and \u201chome ross & jenn\u201d and you have to toggle between the two ? or is it pretty much a very similar dynamic both ways ? lafleur : i think it\u2019s probably a pretty similar dynamic . if anything , we have to challenge ourselves to differentiate them a little bit more . you know , almost create business hours and outside of business hours where you\u2019ve got to just drop it and not talk about the movie for a little bit . because we definitely went down rabbit holes where , you know , it\u2019d be , like , two o\u2019clock in the morning and we\u2019re still talking about a certain scene and whether to use this take or that take and what we need to do for the story arc and going on and on and on and finally it got to the point where i needed to start saying , \u201ci can\u2019t talk about the movie anymore today . starting at 9 a . m . , i\u2019m reopen for talking about the movie , but for tonight i\u2019m done . \u201d especially when it is , you know , an indie film and ross is writing and directing and producing and going on location scouts and starring in the movie . you know , i was producing . which again , on an indie film means that i\u2019m , like , helping out with catering and craft services and locations and casting . so when you\u2019re wearing so many hats , it feels like it takes every single second of every day . so you\u2019re just supposed to keep working on it no matter what the time and i think that , you know , we had to just kind of create boundaries there . partridge : jenn was better at it than i was . for sure . lafleur : yeah . he wouldn\u2019t shut up about it . [ laughs ]\npaste : that\u2019s awesome . and ross , what were you thinking at this time ? besides , obviously , \u201chubba hubba ? \u201d partridge : originally when i saw her i was like wow , she was so\u2026i am 11 years older , and i had been living in la and i\u2019d been dating a bunch . i felt a bit sullied by the time i met jenny , and i just felt a bit downbeat , like this is never going to work out . she was just a breath of fresh air , she just had such a spirit . and i immediately was like , \u201cthis is such goodness in people\u2019s lives . \u201d she was new start\u2026i think i said to her at some point , \u201cyou\u2019re like my last shot at doing it right . you\u2019re a good person in people\u2019s lives . \u201d she\u2019s such a good human being that you just have to hold on to .\nmr . partridge , a character actor who looks like he auditions for dermot mulroney types , has a relaxed , pleasant presence ; what he doesn\u2019t have is a grasp on the story\u2019s ugliness , its viewpoints or how his nice - guy vibe is at odds with the self - deluded exploiter he plays . in the novel , lamb is a fantasist who uses tommie as a blank ( pure ) slate on which to write a new life story . mr . partridge never figures out how to complicate his version and its voices , or maybe doesn\u2019t want to . he softens lamb and tommie with tears , safe hugs and averted looks and , once they land in the countryside , mires them in sentimentality . he tries to turn lamb into a sheep in wolf\u2019s clothing , but it\u2019s a bad fit .\nthe cigarette is a ruse , a macguffin really , which triggers some latent impulse in david to seize the chance for some highly unusual , if highly stigmatized , unspecified , uncategorizable form of bonding . the bottom line , as partridge tells stephen saito in urltoken , is \u201c ( david\u2019s ) need for love is so much greater than his logic . \u201d conventional filters dissolve in a jumble of mental shakeup and surfaced repression .\npartridge : yeah , it\u2019s a great show . i just did , like , a small little arc on it . but it\u2019s really cool\u2014it\u2019s kind of one of these shows you can watch with your whole family . i\u2019ve actually seen a couple of the episodes already and i think it\u2019s going to do really well . it\u2019s a really fun , clever world , so i look forward to it . yeah , it was great .\npaste : and ross , tell me more about where you were born and grew up ? partridge : i was born in morristown , new jersey . i lived there very briefly . my father was involved in radio . he was kind off a big radio disc jockey , and he was on the radio in manhattan with a station called wnew , and has a radio show called milkman matinee , which was kind of big for early morning commuters . i\u2019ll talk to people\u2019s parents and they\u2019ll know about my dad . he had a booming radio voice , and he was the quintessential spokesperson . he did commercials , and did radio . that\u2019s kind of how i was around it . my mom worked in traffic , and was in the traffic department of the radio station , and that is basically how they met . my mom was his third marriage , for my mom , my dad was her second marriage , so she had two sons prior , and my dad had four children prior .\npaste : beautiful . well the last question i have for you guys is that , given you two are individually\u2014like , every single person who knows either one of you , individually each of you is one of their favorite people . people hold you\u2014each of you\u2014very near and dear to their heart . and then together you\u2019re , like , just this unbelievable couple . so , since this is the valentine\u2019s issue and we\u2019ll have some lovers reading , why don\u2019t you give your best advice for the lovers out there ? how to be a couple as awesome as the two of you . [ laughter ] lafleur : you go . partridge : aw , come on . lafleur : ross is actually really blushing right now . he\u2019s full - on blushing . he doesn\u2019t do well with compliments . [ laughs ] wait . we\u2019re gonna get some advice from mark duplass here . partridge : hey , mark , what\u2019s the key to keeping , uh\u2014 lafleur : to being a good working relationship and personal relationship . he\u2019s the master . partridge : mark\u2019s the master . mark duplass : um . i would say proper grooming is very important . don\u2019t let yourself go . [ laughs ] um . i would say , what i call 98 percent honesty . don\u2019t lie 98 percent of the time ; that\u2019s very important . and then i would say make sure you pick someone whose smell you really , really like , because that will get you through it . that\u2019s my top three . partridge : actually , one of marks\u2019 favorite pieces of advice that he gave a long , long time ago is when you were talking about when you were planning the wedding and you were like , \u201cyou know , when your wife is planning the wedding you basically just have to say , \u2018uh huh , uh huh , uh huh , \u2019 and you agree to , like , five out of the seven things she\u2019s bringing to you on a daily basis , but on the sixth time you basically , just have to be like , \u2018no ! \u2019 no matter what it is , you just have to say no so they know you\u2019re paying attention . \u201d [ laughs ] lafleur : see , i was going say something sweet , like , \u201ckindness and patience . \u201d ( laughs ) but really it\u2019s just about , you know , proper grooming and telling mostly the truth and picking somebody who smells good to you . [ laughs ]\npaste : i\u2019m here . keep going ! partridge : i mean , when you work on something , you know , it\u2019s two years of your life so you have to , i think , be very specific and be aware of the fact that it\u2019s going to be this much all - consuming and you have to\u2014it\u2019s almost easier because , you know , you lay your head down at night and you\u2019re with the person who\u2019s working on it with you the most and they understand .\ngary and tommie may get hugsy , but whether he crosses the line into pedophilia is an unresolved question , at best , for the viewer . is his behavior towards her sexual , predatory ? or is it an expression of platonic affection ? lacking the two astonishing lead performances , the film\u2019s courageous forays into relatively untapped territory might bypass credibility . bonnie nadzam\u2019s 2011 novel , on which the film is based , is equivocal about gary\u2019s motives : he wants to rescue tommie from a life of mediocrity , but he also owns up to her sexual effect on him . in the film , partridge restrains himself from digging too deeply into either impetus , enabling us to calculate results for ourselves . all of the cuddling with tommie , whom he\u2019s wrapped in a blanket , his caressing her face and assuring her how beautiful she is : david goes up to the edge of transgression . crossing the line or not , partridge , unlike nadzam , maintains an air of ambiguity .\npaste : well , i mean there is a certain element of that kind of , uh , andre agassi / steffi graf thing . right ? where\u2014 partridge : you couldn\u2019t have picked a better quote for me ! could not have picked a more right quote for me . you know i\u2019m obsessed with tennis ? lafleur : he\u2019s obsessed with tennis . he\u2019s obsessed with andre agassi . we\u2019re here at a pool party and he\u2019s feeling sad because his favorite tennis player lost today . [ laughs ]\npaste : so you became one of seven , the youngest of seven between them\u2026wow . partridge : yeah . we didn\u2019t see a lot of them often . my brothers came in and out , so it was kind off a very transitory place . my dad , being in radio , eventually got out of new york and then we bopped around the east coast for a while , pennsylvania , new jersey , new hampshire and then we ended up in massachusetts . ironically , 20 miles from jenn\u2019s hometown .\nthe film , which has played around the festival circuit since first debuting at sxsw last year , even has a poster that boasts of its hard - to - pin - down nature , including pull quotes that hinge on its \u201cintensely provocative\u201d nature and even a rallying cry to \u201clet the controversy begin . \u201d but that\u2019s not why partridge was compelled to the make the film , which he wrote , produced , directed and starred in . he just loved the story , and maybe that will be enough for audiences to take a chance on it .\npaste : but no , there is a sense in which , you know , any of us can appreciate how good either one of you are , but there\u2019s also a sense in which , from the inside as a great actor , ross , you can better appreciate just how good jenn is and vice versa . jenn , as a great actor yourself you can better appreciate just how great\u2014that would make you fall for each other more than it would make any civilian fall for you , i would think . lafleur : for sure . partridge : for sure . i mean , yeah . i think that\u2019s still a matter of opinion , but i aspire to be as good as jenn . i don\u2019t know how she feels about me ; i\u2019m actually much more complicated in the sense that , like\u2014jenn also knows that she\u2019s really good . i think she\u2019s great , but i think jenn also is pretty confident that she\u2019s damn good . i don\u2019t think that goes the other direction . i think jenn\u2019s great and i just usually most of the time think that i\u2019m pretty bad . [ laughs ] but yeah , and at least i aspire to , like , wow . i actually am inspired for other people to realize how great she is , too .\npaste : yeah , i guess it\u2019s kind of a good - news - bad - news thing . like , that thing you\u2019re thinking about all the time ? the good news is your partner\u2019s thinking about it all the time too . the bad news is your partner\u2019s thinking about it all the time too . lafleur : [ laughs ] exactly . partridge : but there\u2019s a point where , like i said , i think it\u2019s easier for them\u2014for jenn especially to kind of put it away , i guess , when we were finished with the movie . then the real work started beginning , when i was trying to get the movie out into the world and then that becomes a whole other beast of conversation . lafleur : yeah . partridge : so for the production of it for a year was one thing , but then it\u2019s the year after where you\u2019re still in this world of trying to get it out there and how to go about doing that and , you know , that can be an all - consuming thing as well , so\u2026she was better at shutting it down , and i still had to live with it pretty much all the time .\nin the mid - & apos ; 70s , ross took on the role for which she is now best known : starring as marion cunningham on the sitcom happy days , set in the 1950s and & apos ; 60s . her character quickly became one of the beloved tv moms of all time . her character , also known as mrs . c , supported and guided her two youngest children richie , played by ron howard , and joanie , played by erin moran , through the perils of the teen years . she also doted on her husband howard ( tom bosley ) . mrs . c looked after richie & apos ; s friends , too , including arthur\nthe fonz\nfonzarelli , played by henry winkler .\npaste : sure . lafleur : also , when you\u2019re in a relationship together and you\u2019re working on the same thing , there\u2019s none of those professional filters that you put on when you\u2019re working with colleagues . or , you know , when you\u2019re talking to the distributor you talk a certain way and stay calm and don\u2019t freak out . you get off the phone and we start , not yelling at each other ; just basically yelling to each other about what needs to happen and how it\u2019s going to happen and if it\u2019s going to be able to happen . partridge : or at each other , too . it\u2019s definitely the trigger for some greater things , for sure . lafleur : well i don\u2019t think we ever yelled at each other ; it often felt like we were . it often felt like you were yelling at me , but i knew that it wasn\u2019t . it was just you expressing concern and talking it out . partridge : i\u2019m an alarmist and jenn is not . lafleur : but me as a producer to you and as a girlfriend to you , i want to be able to provide what it is that you want and feel like you need . and so then it feels like it becomes my burden to take on . partridge : that\u2019s the personal side of trying to manage this stuff in a professional way . sometimes the two go hand - in - hand . i think that\u2019s the thing with also making art of any sort is that it is a personal thing . it brings forth all your most personal sides of who you are : your own psyche , your own insecurity , your own feelings of love . all these things that come into play because you\u2019re making something that you\u2019re passionate about . it\u2019s not like a pragmatic thing ; filmmaking is based on feeling and emotion . so how do you really separate the two ?\npaste : that\u2019s crazy . so before we start talking about you all meeting , let me just go back for a second . ross , you felt that you wanted to study film studies in college . were you thinking of going on to be a critic , or an academic , or did you not think it through and just wanted to study cinema ? partridge : no . i knew i wanted to study cinema and make movies if i could . in high school i had a great english teacher who encouraged me in creative writing . i didn\u2019t have that much confidence . i wasn\u2019t quite into school all that much . i was actually working a lot during high school . i was actually worked almost 30 hours a week all the way through high school . from selling waterbeds to making pizza , to doing whatever i could in order to make some money . so it was kind of like a dream that i would get into film . i loved movies , but i was also not so focused until college . my main goal was to get into college and when i did , everything else like getting into theater just kind of happened , with my roommate and so forth . i had an idea that i wanted to make movies , but at that age it was kind of like if i could do anything , why not make movies ? without realizing there were so many more important things to do [ laughs ] .\npaste : that\u2019s crazy . partridge : yeah , basically my dad bought a radio station in this small town called auburn , massachusetts . my parents bought it together . and then my mom , we ended up moving to this place from pennsylvania . my father was from worchester mass , so it was like coming home for him . he wanted to be this big fish in a little pond , and boy did he get it . my mom arrived in this town and was basically like \u201cwe have to get out of here . \u201d my parents split up . i moved all over the place . i lived with my mom for some time in upstate new york\u2026"]}

the - scenes footage .\nthere are so many ways that found footage 3d could have imploded , as evidenced by the self - aware cynicism of its title . but steven degennaro and his terrific cast have instead crafted a movie that is the opposite of cynical , as it takes two of the cheapest marketing scourges currently blighting the horror landscape\u2014the found footage film and 3d exhibition\u2014and instead turns both into some of the movie\u2019s biggest assets . this isn\u2019t just a movie that makes lemonade out of 3d , found footage lemons . it\u2019s one of the best 3d and one of the best found footage movies i\u2019ve ever seen . found footage 3d is really something special .\nfound footage 3d doesn ' t exactly have great box art , nor does the premise sound all that interest . after all , as pitched it ' s a pretty straight forward 3d found footage , and the very fact it ' s in 3d adds an extra layer of stupidity to the mix .\na found -

found - footage flick in 2d . i ' m not sure how good it will look in 3d , but there is supposedly a 3d version coming out soon .\nthis one tells you what it is right up front . titled found footage 3d this one promises to do for the found footage sub genre what scream did for the slasher genre back in the day . pretty hefty shoes to fill .\nfound footage 3d is a 2016 horror american film written and directed by steven degennaro and co - produced by degennaro , charles mulford , and kim henkel ( co - writer of the texas chain saw massacre ( 1974 ) . it is the first found footage horror movie shot natively in 3d .\nconceived as the antidote to the common found - footage film , found footage 3d entered production in january of 2014 . degennaro , a former sound designer and no stranger to the film business teamed with charles mulford ( producer , two step ) and kim henkel , the co - writer and producer of tobe hooper\u2019s the texas chainsaw massacre and writer - director of texas chainsaw massacre : the next generation , to bring the world\u2019s first 3d found - footage film . on paper , a 3d found - footage film makes no sense whatsoever , a fact the filmmakers are quick to smartly address and quickly move on from . in practice , this 3d found - footage film works like gangbusters .\naptly titled found footage 3d , the innovative film is the brain - child of steven degennaro , who had previously directed the 2011 short first date .\na refreshing stab at the found footage genre . the film could have easily made itself standout by just telling a story in 3d , but by adding the film crew element they add something unexpected . in an over saturated genre , found footage 3d holds it\u2019s own \u2013 scream meets the blair witch project .\nthe biggest surprise out of wizard world\u2019s bruce campbell horror film festival was steven degennaro\u2019s found footage 3d , which held its world premiere this past friday night .\nwriter / director steven degennaro is excited , he states the following : \u201cthe 3d aspect isn\u2019t just a marketing ploy\u2014it\u2019s integrated into the story in a very scream - esque sort of way . there are things that we can do , as a found footage movie shot in 3d , that no found footage movie or 3d movie has ever been able to do before . \u201d\npart of the issue with found footage 3d is that it\u2019s not as clever as it thinks it is , nor does it fully take advantage of its post - modern setting . it talks about the tropes of found footage movies in several scenes , but it doesn\u2019t push the satire . worse still , as the film comes to its conclusion , it becomes everything the characters hate about the genre . steven degenerro writes throughout the entire script that found footage has become predictable and every movie is the same , but found footage 3d ends up being \u2018just another found footage movie\u2019 . \u201cwhat can we do to separate ourselves from every other shitty found footage movie\u201d asks one of the characters . the answer appears to be \u2018very little\u2019 .\n' found footage 3d ' is an absolute riot that ' s also quite scary , setting up a multitude of payoffs that deliver a flurry of satisfying punches .\nin the end , found footage 3d is an exceptional addition to the found footage family of films . while it will certainly be known for the immersive 3d aspect , its ability to seamlessly move from an almost satirical take on the style to an outright horror movie is what it should be lauded and , ultimately , remembered for .\ninstantly , weinberg replies , \u201ci said i\u2019m in ! i said it because i like found footage and i hate 3d . i think it\u2019ll be a fun challenge . \u201d\nalso working for the movie are its horror moments as there are some sequences in found footage 3d that are genuinely terrifying , and degennaro directs with a brilliant flow . with such a glut of found footage films released each and every year , it\u2019s impressive to see one that\u2019s directed this well . it may not get its tone or satire right , but it\u2019s mostly effective in its execution of being a found footage movie . there\u2019s a line where andrew says there\u2019s only ever been two and a half good found footage movies and one of those came out fifteen years ago . well , found footage 3d isn\u2019t bringing that number up by much , but it\u2019s better than most .\nthere ' s a twinge of recognition with any found - footage horror movie : filmmakers getting slaughtered before their own lenses . found footage 3d apes that convention , with a crew making a found - footage movie , spectre of death , as well as their own documentary about making their own mockumentary . under duress from their dictatorial producer ( carter roy ) , they ' re doing both in 3 - d . but what happens when they start finding evidence of something really evil in their fake found footage ?\ni ' m a sucker for found footage movies , especially when they ' re self aware like this one .\nsteven degennaro ' s found footage 3d is hilariously scary ! doing what scream did for the slasher genre , ff3d plays to every trope of the found footage subgenre and exceeds thanks to a tight script and fantastic performances . strap yourselves in for the ride as the outcome is truly remarkable !\nsg : found footage 3d is a movie people are definitely going to want to see in a theater . this will be the first found footage horror movie in 3d , which is reason enough to see it . the 3d aspect is not just some lame marketing gimmick . it\u2019s integrated into the fabric of the story and it\u2019s an important part of the way we plan on shooting it . there are things that we can do , as a found footage movie shot in 3d , that no found footage movie or 3d movie has ever been able to do before . as a director , i really want to explore the boundaries of the 3d medium and do something unique and original , and this story is the perfect forum for doing so . so people will need to come see this in a theater to really get the full experience .\nwhat i didn\u2019t realize , and what i was soon informed of , was that pre - production had at the time already begun on the first ever 3d found footage horror movie .\nfound footage 3d just screened at bruce campbell\u2019s horror fest , where it won the jury award , and it can next be caught at london\u2019s frightfest this coming monday , august 29th .\ncoming just before the release of blair witch , the second to the creator of this sub - genre , found footage offers a new and refreshing perspective . fans and haters of the found footage film will all find something to enjoy .\nfilms within films are always tricky to get your head around , but found footage 3d is on a whole different level . this film has more layers than the end section of inception .\n\u201cfound footage 3d\u201d is among the better \u201cfound footage\u201d films , although it is not among the best . charming characters carry momentum for miles and a shockingly graphic climax reinvigorates energy for the film\u2019s final breaths . the route taken to get there just isn\u2019t quite creepy enough and could use some more bite behind its bark .\nthe guide for frightfest says that found footage 3d hopes to do for the genre what scream did for slashers . it\u2019s the first post - modern found footage movie that isn\u2019t afraid to play within the genre conventions while also poking fun at them , and for the most part it works . but not everything does .\nfound footage 3d has been bought by amc networks for their horror streaming service shudder , which has been called\nthe netflix of horror\n. the movie will be available on their streaming platform starting october 26th , just in time for halloween ! and best of all , it will be available in 2d , 3d side - by - side ( for 3d televisions and vr ) , and red - blue anaglyph 3d . indiegogo backers : dust off those 3d glasses !\nhalloween love : one of the most noteworthy aspects about found footage 3d is that texas chainsaw massacre co - creator kim henkel is attached to produce . how did henkel become involved with the project ?\nand thus concludes found footage 3d . it ' s such a great watch that understands how to poke fun at itself while still remaining superior to the majority of its competitors . # shudder # ff3dlive\nso , as far as these things go , found footage 3d is sufficiently entertaining , and tailor - made for horror movie buffs . there ' s no real reinventing found footage at this point , i think we can all agree on that , but degennaro and company have admirably delivered a satisfactory new title to the mix .\n\u201cshot natively in 3d\u201d . many big budget hollywood productions are converted into 3d after shooting . generally , they look horrible as a result . urltoken\ndon ' t forget : if you want to see the movie again , or share with your friends , it is available on @ shudder in four different versions , including 2d , 3d for 3d tvs , red - blue 3d , and a director ' s commentary . also available on itunes under the title\nfound footage\n. # shudder\nthe surrounding story they are plugged into could use a swig of that spirit . where \u201cfound footage 3d\u201d runs into roadblocks , particularly with that last number and letter , is that it isn\u2019t terribly exciting .\nbased on his love for the blair witch project , scream and paranormal activity , director steven degennaro unleashes a sharp , scary and smart comedy horror that he hopes will do for the found footage genre what the wes craven franchise did for slasher flicks . a group of filmmakers sets out to make the first 3d found footage horror movie , but find themselves actually in the first 3d found footage horror movie when the evil entity from their film escapes into their behind -

production costs , adding 3d visual effects and festival entries .\nit\u2019s not about stuff popping out at the audience or anything cheesy like that . it\u2019s about immersion in the world , which is what makes found footage and 3d such a natural fit in my opinion . found footage is about tricking your senses into thinking you are watching something real , even if you know it isn\u2019t . and 3d is about putting you inside the world of the story , physically . so doing them both together seems like a natural fit .\nfound footage 3d does attempt to do something different with the found footage genre by filming it as the making of a found footage film . we follow a group of people who are making a found footage film in an old abandoned house in the country . the film does a good job of turning the cliches of the genre in on it\u2019s self . one great example has a girl scream and all of the plates and cups flying out of the cupboards in the kitchen . we\u2019ve of course seen this before , but we the viewer at first think that it\u2019s something supernatural , but we then learn it\u2019s an effect for the film in the film . but then it\u2019s revealed the\u2026\nthere are moments throughout found footage 3d where we get to watch the crew edit footage , while a webcam screen is open showing what\u2019s behind us . there\u2019s no doubt filming this was as confusing as it sounds , but these sequences were essential in order to deliver some of the best scenes in the movie .\nanna biller\u2019s the love witch , tim reis\u2019 bad blood : the movie , steven degennaro\u2019s found footage 3d , ali abbasi\u2019s berlin hit shelley and shelden renan\u2019s controversial documentary the killing of america are among the films in the discovery screen strand .\nsteven degennaro : anyone interested in more info about the film , or to keep up with the latest developments , can visit the found footage 3d website or any of our various social media pages ; facebook , instagram , twitter and youtube .\nfound footage 3d had its world premiere at the bruce campbell horror film festival last week , where it won the jury award . it will screen at frightfest in london on august 29th . it does not yet have a formal release date .\npete barnstrom ( film editor ) was an editor on the found footage film exists by blair witch project creator eduardo s\u00e1nchez , which premiered at sxsw 2014 .\nso blair witch is the best ff feature , but for my money , the best found -

of documentary , and to top it all off it\u2019s all going to be in 3d . andrew immediately derides the idea as absolutely ludicrous , and derek says they\u2019ll figure out how to make it work , because in order to get the big press , you\u2019ve got to be the first to do something . meta .\n, a film that is a brilliant sendup of the subgenre , a loving tribute to found footage , and one of the best surprises in horror this year .\nfound footage fans can claim rewards that include digital downloads , 3d glasses , props from the film , signed texas chain saw massacre memorabilia , and private screening invitations . full fan and rewards information can be seen on the indiegogo campaign page here : urltoken .\nplot : a small crew of filmmakers head to a remote countryside in texas to make a 3d found footage horror movie . little do they know the cabin they ' re shooting in is haunted - or has the apparition in their own movie bled into reality ?\n\u201cit doesn\u2019t quite know who its pitching too ( those who hate found footage or those who love it ) and so it ends up a bit bland . a very nice cameo from scott weinberg ( who also produces ) is a funny addition and allen perry has some real laugh out loud moments , but found footage 3d just feels like every movie you\u2019ve ever seen from the genre . a shame . \u201d luke owen , flickering myth\nthe true surprise hit of the festival was the world premiere of found footage 3d , a meta comedy / horror film that is , in fact , a 3d found footage movie written and directed by steven degennaro . even more than any of the repertory screenings , found footage played best to the packed - house crowd of any movie during the weekend . it ' s a modest film , about a small group of filmmakers who go to a remote cabin to make a movie until life starts to imitate art , which , in turn , imitates life . while i ' m no real fan of found footage movies , degennaro and the cast found a way to have their cake and eat it , too ; the film is both a critique of found footage and one of the best found footage movies ever made - - the rare sendup that works as both a goof on the thing and as a great example of the thing itself . there are really funny observations about the horror genre and the filmmaking process , but a handful of terrific scares as well . while horror movies - - and in particular found footage movies - - aren ' t known for great character work , that ' s what ' s best about found footage 3d . degennero and the cast ( who are , to a person , terrific ) understand that we have to care about these people in order to give any kind of shit about what happens to them , and the film has an amazing ability to shift tones and sympathies multiple times in the course of a single scene . i don ' t think the movie has distribution yet , but keep an eye out for it and hit up social media saying you want to see it if you can . it really is something special .\nbut it would only work if we could shoot in 3d and do it properly . so we looked into what it would take to shoot the movie in 3d and we discovered that it was not at all prohibitive , financially or logistically . in fact , the price of 3d camcorders has dropped so precipitously in the last few years ( the camera we shot on costs less than 2 grand to buy ) that it suddenly seemed inevitable that someone would shoot a found footage horror movie in 3d in the next few years , and it may as well be us .\nah , found footage . the bad penny of mid - naughties horror that turned a brutally realistic storytelling device in cannibal holocaust into countless low - rent , inc . . .\nan entertaining watch despite its missteps , and it ' s still far better than most found footage films as it delivers solid performances , smart observations , and a fun ride .\nin the same way that scream deconstructed the slasher sub - genre in the 90\u2019s , ff3d takes a found - footage horror movie and populates it with people who are aware of all of the rules , tricks , and clich\u00e9s of the genre . they know how to make a found - footage movie . but do they know how to survive one ?\none of the fun aspects of found footage 3d is that we get some great special effects gags and even a blood bath of a third act . jessica perrin , who plays lily , gets pretty beat up throughout the movie , including one of the movie\u2019s first jump scares .\nweinberg : \u201cfound footage really constrains you on what you can do editorily . you shoot a traditional movie and shoot five takes , you can mix and match what you want . \u201d\nbut as goofy as the idea of a 3d found footage movie may sound , director degennaro fully leans into the concept and delivers one of the best 3d experiences i\u2019ve had in a theater since the format had its resurgence in 2009 . this isn\u2019t a slapdash post - conversion ; the depth and clarity have clearly been thought through , and the movie offers a number of sequences in which the 3d is used in new ways to brilliant effect . it\u2019s one of the few theatrical experiences i\u2019ve had in a long time that i won\u2019t just suggest be seen theatrically in 3d , but demand it .\nthere is a lot to like about found footage 3d however . unlike a lot of films in the genre , the movie features a cast of very likeable characters from the struggling director andrew and the loveable sound guy carl ( played brilliantly and hilariously by scott allen perry ) . production assistant lily adds a real sweet quality to the cast , and this is countered perfectly by writer and all - round asshole derek ( perfectly portrayed by carter roy ) and flip - flopping amy . in a really smart move , the plot of found footage 3d mirrors the film they\u2019re making , titled spectre of death . the film within the film surrounds a couple escaping to a cabin in the woods to help their marriage , which reflects derek and his co - star amy\u2019s failed marriage . it\u2019s all surface level stuff , but it adds a lot to found footage 3d .\nwhy would anyone make , or want to see , a found footage movie in 3d ? that ' s the question posed to pompous actor - writer - producer derek ( carter roy ) , whose bright idea it is to travel , along with a small band of very patient friends , to an isolated location and knock out a quick and dirty thriller called spectre of death , which is basically the blair witch project meets paranormal activity . derek is the kind of guy who only thinks in big picture terms , content not to worry about little things like sensible plotting or character motivation ; all he knows is that 3d movies make more money than 2d ones , so their cheap found footage movie might as well utilize the format . the director of spectre of death , andrew ( tom saporito ) , asks the obvious questions : why would a couple vacationing in the woods have 3d cameras ? who has ever heard of 3d security cameras ? and , the most common issue for a found footage movie , why haven ' t they dropped the camera yet ? derek - and found footage 3d - never really comes up with a satisfactory answer for this , but the true reason is clear : don ' t matter , it ' s a movie .\nas writer , producer , and star of the horror movie \u201cspectre of death , \u201d derek james surprises director andrew reed , sound operator carl , and new p . a . lily by announcing that theirs will be the first \u201cfound footage\u201d film to shoot in 3d . derek\u2019s brother mark is also given a 3d camera to use for shooting the behind - the - scenes \u201cmaking of\u201d documentary .\nif you consider that the found footage horror film really found its footing in 1999 with the release of the blair witch project , then you understand just how bold a claim ,\nfirst found - footage horror film to . . .\nreally is . doesn ' t really matter what follows those first six words . we ' re talking about a sub - genre that ' s beyond exhausted , and approached in seemingly every way possible . over 18 years of making excuse after excuse as to why the camera must keep rolling .\nfirst found - footage horror film to . . .\ncouldn ' t possibly mean anything today . could it ?\n\u201c found footage 3d is destined to become a franchise , and for once \u2013 i am rooting for such a thing . it\u2019s clever , smoothly - produced with a constant wink to the audience ( perhaps not the dumb ones \u2013 the film\u2019s words , not mine ! ) and it contains an exceptional excuse \u2013 one to beat all others in the found footage world \u2013 as to why they continue to film\u2026 because they\u2019re filming a movie . duh ! \u201d michael klug , horrorfreak news\nconsider , for example , the very \u201chook\u201d of the movie , which is to be the first - ever found footage movie shot in 3d ( at the time it went into production , this was the case ; paranormal activity : the ghost dimension technically beat this one to the punch , but that\u2019s a movie destined to be forgotten ) . on the one hand , it\u2019s ludicrous and completely at odds with the found footage aesthetic , which is to provide as \u201creal\u201d and immediate an experience as cinema allows . by putting the idea in the brain of cynical , opportunistic derek , found footage 3d stays a step ahead of the audience by openly admitting to all of its own potential faults\u2014it beats us to the critical punch , at the same time mining satire about the way artistic decisions are made in the movie business .\na small production team are hard at work on their latest film project , a found footage horror . worried that the genre has been done to death , star and producer derek ( carter roy ) comes up with an ingenious idea , to film it in 3d . to further set it apart in the crowded market he also decides that the behind - the - scenes documentary should also be filmed in that format . however , unbeknownst to the crew they have just become the stars of their very own found footage film\u2026\nthe film is well shot , perfectly replicating the style of footage one might find in a low budget making - of feature . the plot is whip crack smart and the performances are all organic and believable . one of the easiest way to screw up your found footage horror film is bad acting and found footage 3d deftly avoids that pitfall . every character feels real and grounded in our world , which is key when shit starts hitting the fan . the entire cast is strong ; roy\u2019s derek is every inch a schlock film maker , o\u2019brien\u2019s mark is the shy technical wizard , perrn\u2019s lily the charming if unremarkable easy target .\nthis is a prime example of a movie that tries way too hard to be a satire , kind like how scream was a satire of slasher films ( only that scream was actually incredible ) . this movie tries to be a satire of the found footage genre , but there is so many problems with this movie it ' s not even funny . first off the acting is terrible there ' s so many moments that are so out of left field , the writing feels like someone who ' s trying to be funny but really isn ' t . also this is one of those found footage movies , idiots argue for like 80 minutes and then something not very interesting happens at the last 10 - 15 minutes . i will say there were some moments that made me laugh so i guess that counts for something , but overall found footage 3d is a terrible satire on the found footage genre which is dying . . . . .\nnow available on shudder and itunes .\na near - perfect horror experience\n- - bloody disgusting .\none of the best found footage movies i ' ve ever seen .\n- - daily dead\nfrom the description above , \u201cfound footage 3d\u201d might sound like it has the potential to be cartoonishly off kilter in balancing its kook with its kills . it does have that potential , but immense credit goes to the film\u2019s complete cast and director steven degennaro for keeping comedy tuned with subtlety so it doesn\u2019t detract from the drama .\nsteven degennaro\u2019s short film first date was voted \u201cbest of fest\u201d by five festival audiences , won a jury award for directing , and was given a special commendation by united states senate majority leader harry reid . he currently teaches sound design and mixing at the university of texas at austin . found footage 3d is his first feature .\nin case you haven\u2019t heard yet , found footage 3d surrounds a group of filmmakers who set out to utilize their budget limitations and create the next big found footage movie , spectre of death 3d . the director of the movie within a movie , derek ( carter roy ) casts himself as the lead in a vain attempt to exploit his own failed relationship with amy ( alena von stroheim ) , even casting her as his female lead . their characters in spectre feel a trip into a cabin in the woods might help solve their problems and he wants to document the experience\u2026in 3d . of course , strange things start happening and a supernatural force seems to feed off their negative energy and familiar devices ensue . derek\u2019s crew decide on what kind of gimmicks they\u2019re going to use , including filming with 3d cameras in order to capitalize on ticket surcharges so the movie is a guaranteed financial success . his feelings towards the people he hopes will pay to see the movie aren\u2019t the most passionate , but greed is what motivates him and begins to create tension amongst the crew . this leads to the spirit from their movie to transition into reality and everything they were making fun of becomes what drives the terror in found footage 3d .\nthe way that steve degennaro and his team have striven to make found footage 3d as much of a behind - the - scenes dramatisation as possible , has resulted in almost a documentary feel . this is exactly what you want in your found footage horror . above all else it has to seem real , otherwise it won\u2019t have the desired effect . if you think back to the blair witch project \u2013 the film that started the genre \u2013 you forgot that you were watching fiction . similarly , at times , you get the same experience here .\nas promised by the premise , a meta aspect exists where the movie criticizes the current state of \u201cfound footage\u201d and its associated clich\u00e9s . a big chunk of that lamentation isn\u2019t incorporated into either plot , however . a lot of it is simply \u201cdid you ever notice ? \u201d dialogue reflecting the same sentiments shared by everyone fatigued on the first - person format . satire isn\u2019t simply identifying tropes through a character\u2019s open rant . \u201cfound footage 3d\u201d makes moves to turn certain ideas on their ear , though it misses opportunities to be as clever as it can .\nin brief , producer derek ( carter roy ) wants to shoot a found footage flick that does what no other film in this overcrowded realm has done before . he turns up one day with a couple of suitcases full of cutting edge tech that would allow them to shoot their film in 3d . we all know that every found footage movie should have a reason why people would keep on shooting when supernatural shit starts hitting the fan so everyone just laughs the 3d gimmick idea off at first and this provides for a great bit of raillery as to why on earth anyone in their right minds would be heading off to the woods to shoot something sinister , let alone in 3d . but boys will be boys when it comes to new toys and once they get their hands on the equipment , the whole idea seems to make perfect sense so they load up the car and set off to shoot \u201cthe spectre of death 3d . \u201d\ni don\u2019t have a favorite 3d horror film , to be honest . my favorite 3d films are all non - horror : gravity , avatar , and hugo spring to mind . the 3d for those films was innovative and immersive in a way that most 3d features aren\u2019t . gravity , in particular , was absolutely riveting in imax 3d . i\u2019m as big a critic of the \u201clet\u2019s convert every big - budget film to 3d\u201d as anyone . if you are going to use the tool , use it wisely and not just because it will let you charge an extra three bucks . it would be the height of hubris to compare ff3d to any of those films , but at the same time , like those movies , i want people to come out of the theater and tell their friends : \u201cyou have to go see this in 3d ! \u201d that\u2019s my goal .\nreview : before i start in earnest , full disclosure : i did not see this movie in 3d . i know , seems as though that would negate at least part of the novelty of found footage 3d , which aims to tease - and honor - the trappings of both found footage and 3d horror movies , but the truth is , the film is only just now barging out of the gates at a handful of horror film festivals , ones that i ' m not able to attend , but i was not about to allow that to dissuade me from seeing it early . the good news is , i liked it ( for the most part ) , more than enough to want to check it out in the theater with those damn glasses on when the time comes , just to give it its full due .\nurltoken -

genre the bad rep it has right now . although the plot is a bit more bare bones compared to the aforementioned leslie vernon , found footage 3d\u2019s ace up its sleeve is the deftly written dialogue and inspired humor , all buoyed by a completely committed cast who really make the whole thing all the more palpable and , accordingly , you can\u2019t help but get sucked right in . and despite the film being a comedy at its core , it also manages to include a few well devised shit - your - pants scares that i honestly wasn\u2019t expecting to see before heading into this one .\nplays with the tropes and the medium of found footage in ways that are genuinely funny and entertaining in its most memorable scenes . unfortunately the majority of the movie devolves into a grating stream of arguing and mumbling that just drags .\ndegennaro and his cast and crew have brought to life the ideal love child of multiple gimmicks and the end result is much greater than the sum of its parts . smartly written , believably acted , and deftly crafted , found footage 3d is funny , smart , and scary as hell . when you get the chance , you need to see this movie .\nday 7 \u2013 derek forces andrew to rig a 3d surveillance camera using two gopros , even though it makes no narrative sense .\nmidway into the movie , i forgot i was watching in 3d . not because it became a naturally seamless part of the presentation , but because there ceased to be anything of import occurring within that third layer . outside of obligatory first act goofs like water spray , items , and hands making accordion moves toward the lens , \u201cfound footage 3d\u201d neglects that last part of its title as the movie rolls forward , which wouldn\u2019t be too big of a deal if it wasn\u2019t the whole hook .\nthat said , i did see some great stuff , mostly at festivals ( of which i attended 10 this year , thanks to found footage 3d ) . i like to include festival movies on my list because i think it\u2019s good to make people aware so that you can catch them in their general release . here\u2019s the best of what i saw in 2016 :\nsteven degennaro : the original idea , which didn\u2019t involve 3d at all , was born when i realized that in 2012 ( when i wrote the first draft ) , the found footage genre was rapidly heading toward the same morass of mediocrity that the slasher genre had been mired in in the early 90\u2019s when kevin williamson wrote scream . and yet , despite a number of ( absolutely terrible ) straight - up spoofs of found footage , no one had yet attempted the post - modern , scream - esque version of the genre . so i decided i was going to take a crack at it .\nas always , screening info and tickets can be found on our screenings page . enjoy the show ( s ) !\nat this point , horror has gotten so\nmeta\nthat there ' s nowhere to go but where found footage 3d goes , which is meta upon meta . ( a character even remarks ,\nnice , that ' s very meta .\n) if that sounds annoying , thankfully it is not . the film , in the early going , is cute with its exploitation of cliches and horror movie tropes without going too far overboard . that said , once the real horror of the story kicks in , this angle doesn ' t exactly matter anymore . found footage 3d ultimately reveals itself to be all too faithful to the genre it ' s initially satirizing ; it ' s not too meta to avoid the found footage characteristics we ' ve gotten so used to . it ' s like scream or behind the mask in that sense ; it ' s a send - up of a subgenre while also quite responsibly checking off all the required boxes . only problem with that , for me , is that i like slasher movies a lot more than i like found footage movies , but if you ' ve got room in your heart for at least one more paranormal pov flick , this one should suffice .\nwhen he ' s hired to document the behind - the - scenes action of the low - budget horror movie spectre of death (\nthe first 3d found - footage horror film\n) , an aspiring filmmaker packs up his camera and travels with the film ' s crew to a creepy cabin in the woods . but as interpersonal issues threaten to topple the endeavor and the production spirals out of control , the fictional evil presence in their film begins appearing in the behind - the - scenes footage . if he can ' t figure out how to stop it , it just may find its way into the real world . they know how to make a found footage movie , but do they know how to survive one ?"]}

segmented journey of self discovery more akin to\nsiddhartha\nthan\nrapunzel .\nevery young girl should watch princess arete at least once . while it will hardly rank as any child ' s favorite , it is an important film that respects their cognitive skills and that they will certainly learn to appreciate in adulthood . more than an amazing role model , arete is a relatable character with whom girls will surely identify themselves with \u2013 and maybe , like she did , they will be able to find the magic inside too .\nit ' s mentioned that royalty often have to marry for their countries over love , such as arete and sumeragi ' s first marriages .\narete is so strong . she told that i also can use that magic\u2026 and the pictures were sophisticated ! this is an underrated anime !\nanime limited has picked up a new feature to add to their library with the acquisition of the princess arete work . the film saw distribution through netflix recently , though that ended earlier this year , alongside with several other studio 4\u00b0c projects . anime limited will be detailing their release plan in the coming weeks .\nwhile not without merit , princess arete is slow - paced and feels about 20 minutes longer than it needs to be to tell the story . because of this , its themes of empathy and looking beyond outward appearances may get lost for younger kids . children who aren ' t anime fans already may feel bored .\nsynopsis : confined in the castle tower by her father , princess arete spends her days watching the world outside her window . while she looks out at the common people working , the knights of the kingdom compete for her hand in marriage by searching for powerful magical items from a race of long - dead sorcerers .\nprincess arete cares more for the goodness of a person rather than their appearances . she shows empathy and concern for everyone she observes from afar in her kingdom and wants nothing to do with the thieving and lying knights who pretend to be in love with her to win the throne and the riches that come with it .\nuptown girl : a male version , for mikoto ; he ' s the king of hoshido , and she ' s a fallen princess masquerading as a commoner and his concubine .\nprincess arete ( houko kiwoshima ) lives a lonely life , made to live in a tower at the behest of her strict father . to win arete ' s hand in marriage , suitors compete to win treasure for the king . while this is happening , arete yearns to experience the outside world , to live as an ordinary person , and to travel the world . after getting caught trying to escape the kingdom , the king matches arete with the wizard boax ( tsuyoshi koyama ) , who enchants her and takes her to his faraway castle , where his only companion is a frog - turned - lackey named grovel ( minami takayama ) . as arete now lives a lonely life locked in the wizard ' s basement , her only friend is ample , who hails from a nearby village and cooks food for boax in exchange for the water he hordes . arete must find a way to break boax ' s spell , get all the water out of the castle and toward the village , and follow through on her desires to travel the world .\nfairy - tales have been universally used as a way to educate children and pass forward values through the generations . by adopting a fairy - tale format , princess arete is making a point : there are certain traditional values that have no place in modern day society , and should be replaced at once . it wants to pass on its own values , but does it appeal to its target audience ? modern media geared towards younger viewers is often the polar opposite of what princess arete is . fast - paced , loud and brightly colored , it tends to reinforce the worrisome belief that children are not capable of introspection and should not be challenged intellectually and emotionally . arete ' s story does not need dragons and magic to be stimulating . all it needs is a relatable heroine facing a relatable conflict .\noriginally released in 2001 , the film was written and directed by sunao katabuchi with character designs from satoko morikawa . it\u2019s based on the original work the clever princess from diana coles .\nsecond princess of valla , and later queen of hoshido . she can be pretty manipulative when she wants something , but is ultimately a good person who just wants a happy ending .\noutside context hero : subdued cases in mikoto and arete , in that they can only do so much to prepare either side for the true enemy .\nby andrew osmond . the film princess arete is the tale of a little girl growing up in a castle , refusing to resign herself to being married to a hunky prince charming . then a sorcerer , frightened by a prophecy about the girl , effectively buys her from her father and imprisons her in his remote castle\u2026 but [ \u2026 ]\na pilot , despite being advised not to , bonds with a princess when he is tasked with escorting the royal subject overseas and across enemy territory to reunite her with her future husband .\nit\u2019s now the year 2016 , new challenges and obstacles awaits us in this following year and let me start the by introducing you guys the movie princess and what i think about it .\ni cant believe a guy like you would notice me : due to their differing social backgrounds , he ' s absolutely shocked when he finds out princess mikoto reciprocates his feelings towards her .\nthe japanese cast includes houko kuwashima as arete , tsuyoshi koyama as boax , minami takayama as ample , satomi koorogi as witch and y\u00fbsuke numata as grovel .\ndoomed by canon : as a prequel fic to fates , the reader knows that mikoto , arete , sumeragi , and garon are all doomed to die .\nboax has a deal worked out with a village that he will supply water if the village feeds him . the one who work for him is a lady named amble . amble tries to free arete but can\u2019t seem to break her out . this sparks arete to break out of her enchantment and reverts to being a child . boax then gives arete a impossible task to free himself of her . however arete decides to go back to boax\u2019s liar and learns that he has jewel that makes water . she steals the jewel and floods the barren land so it will be green again . boax then loses his magian crystal that makes so he can use magic thus ending his immortal life and fulling that pesky prophesy . arete then goes off on to see the world , the end .\nin a magic fantasy setting , music and animation of the setting is very important in hooking the viewers to care . but for fairytale scenery princess arete loses for it doesn\u2019t have any appealing atmosphere . the animation is just very gray and gloomy . as for the music it\u2019s doesn\u2019t have any good bgm and the other song are just plain forgettable .\nrussian -

bore charm of early 90s cg .\nis at its best when its heroine is free to do as she pleases . she truly is a clever princess , and kuwashima houko does such an earnest job of it that you really have to root for her .\narete by creating and giving her sister the barricade staff , mikoto by using it to raise the barrier around hoshido , delaying the hoshidan - nohrian war until the time of fates .\nwhen looking back at the entire journey our main character , arete undergoes , it ' s quite epic . this in no way changes the fact that some stretches are completely starved for plot development , using the time instead to flash some scenic shots and play with arete ' s diatribes on her predicaments . which brings me to one of the biggest problems with this film :\non the one hand i respect this angle but on the other it means that arete herself has no character development . she doesn\u2019t grow , she reverts and then goes back to herself .\nwhen anankos ' troops surround mikoto and arete , they both think they are about to be killed . one discussion with anankos later , the soldiers let them go , to their surprise .\narete opens with an act detailing young arete ' s rapunzel - like cloistering in preparation for marriage . establishing her necessary independent spirit , she frequently sneaks out of her castle to see how the commoners live , and is awestruck by the kind of magic we all can understand - those of artisans and skilled crafters . it ' s here that she starts to descend into a malaise that , as a noble princess , she ' ll never be able to perform that kind of everyday magic , and resolves to run away forever . enter a menacing sorcerer , boak , who essentially kidnaps arete through legal means and imprisons her in his castle . to do so , he casts a spell on her which transforms her physically into a more ' traditional ' princess ; older , more beautiful , and utterly without ambition . while imprisoned , arete ' s malaise ( assumedly exacerbated from her depression in the first act ) keeps her docile so she cannot fulfill the prophecy boak fears - that she will end his eternal life . it ' s here that the film starts to pick up , as a local villager incites arete to action - by telling her to imagine what she ' d like to be in a fairy tale of her own making . here , things get a bit metatextual , as arete imagines the life she previously lived , making the film self - aware that it is a fairy tale itself . it never becomes overtly or annoyingly so , but still : i loved the fact that it admits to using cliches because , well , that ' s what the audience wants .\narete ' s first husband , theophilus , is killed in the very first chapter after a failed attempt to talk down anankos . it ' s only made known after the murder has happened .\none would assume studio ghibli has an unspoken monopoly - at least in japan - on the plucky young heroine genre , with kiki , the girls from totoro , and san from princess mononoke being the standard bearers , but miyazaki & co . shouldn ' t rest on their laurels too placidly , as it ' s clear from princess arete that they ' re not the only ones that can do it right , and do it well . arete is by no means a perfect film , suffering from jarring act transitions and a dearth of much action in the first hour , but is animated crisply , provides a wonderful metatextual plot device to open the third act , and leaves the viewer with - if not a sense of wonder - at least a sense of satisfaction in a story of the death of supernatural magic and the quest for meaning and identity .\nin conclusion princess arete is not a bad show for it has good message that can be thought provoking and inspiring but it will take a lot of patience and tolerance for one to get the message fully which is not very rewarding if you take account the time you invested on it . there are other good deconstruction of fairytale out there worth the check like the movies of studio ghibli made i highly recommend you check it out .\nthis is somewhat of a departure for animation house , studio 4\u2103 , who are better known for their bold , inventive and frenetic movies rather than this quiet and deliberately paced fairytale . based on a diana coles novel , princess arete , is about a young princess locked away in a tower by her father to protect and preserve her innocence . suitors visit her at night but she sees through their lies and simply dreams of experiencing the world outside her window . when a sorcerer tricks her into marrying him she substitutes one prison for another . the film is interesting for subverting traditional fairytale convention , there is no white knight or dashing prince to save our heroine instead she must find the strength from\u2026\ndramatic shattering : when using a crystal ball to see the truth behind hydra , mikoto drops and breaks it when she sees the image morph from hydra - her beloved husband - into anankos , the silent dragon himself . needless to say , neither mikoto nor arete , who saw this at the same time , take this well ( arete less than mikoto , as anankos had killed king theophilus in a fit of rage ) .\n: mikoto has a moment of this at the end of chapter 2 , when she realizes that while her manipulations paid off and allowed her to marry hydra , they also hurt her sister , queen arete , deeply .\npolitically active princess : mikoto has been involved in the politics of valla ' s court since she was twelve , and is actually her sister ' s chief adviser . she keeps it up after she flees to hoshido , working her way onto sumeragi ' s council .\nachieve by determination and prior knowledge than relying on fairy god mothers and epic level wizards to turn the tables . the show became anti - escapism for arete resolve her troubles by herself which is impressive for me because most princess stories i ever read or watch are mostly saved by the prince or by their magical spell caster guardians . but the biggest weak point of the story is the characters in general ; they are presented in a overly dry manner that it\u2019s hard for me to take any care or sympathy for them . characters lack actual depth in the story . the interaction is unappealing and not interesting . the characters are not exciting or dynamic . arete should be dynamic given the role of a smart princess and the wizard boax is not very intimidating given he\u2019s presented to be the antagonist of the story . sadly to say he is one the dries fearsome wizard i ever known even the wizard in the smurf looks more interesting . nice presentation of message but very shallow on character presentation .\nnevertheless , fantasy stories about being a princess - like figure - - twilight\u2019s bella is a more contemporary ( and stupider ) version of the generic princess archetype - - are still popular . us cool kids don\u2019t like that kind of mainstream crap ; we want aversions , subversions , and different settings ( aka what made twilight oh - so popular ) . reinventions , especially the darker and edgier types , are fascinating to us . think revolutionary girl utena , a work that changed the shoujo demographic forever . grown - up people are like so mature ~\nrebellious princess : mikoto , in her early years , would sneak around outside the palace to consort with\nhydra\n, volunteered to go on adventures , and manipulated or broke the rules to suit her own ends . she matures out of it as the fic goes on .\nmikoto and arete decide to arrange for azura and kamui to get married as part of a deal to help hoshido and nohr to get along . although circumstances nix the idea , mikoto sees that it could have worked out regardless .\nevil gloating : anankos likes to brag about his superiority and how doomed the human race is when he talks with mikoto and arete . garon also partakes in it in cheve , to further drive a wedge between hoshido and nohr .\nmysterious past : since the vallite curses mean that a . ) no one remembers valla , and that b . ) arete and mikoto can ' t speak of their pasts there , they have to present themselves as having this .\nmaking a splash : valla as a whole is associated with water , with natives possessing the ability to travel through it as a gift from anankos . naturally , this ability extends to mikoto and arete , which they use to escape .\nmeaningful name :\ntheophilus\n, the chosen name for arete ' s husband and azura ' s father , means\nfriend of god\n, referring to his close friendship to anankos before his death at anankos ' s hands .\ni must admit that i have quite the soft spot for studio 4\u00b0c . they brought to life one of my favorite manga works , tekkon kinkreet , in 2006 . along with making other visually stunning and complex works such as their shorter films noiseman sound insect , sweat punch , and digital juice , they ' ve always been an anime studio i ' ve held in very high regards . on those notions alone i decided to finally check out some of their earlier theatrical works , starting with their 2001 release princess arete .\nparents need to know that princess arete is a 2001 anime about a princess kept locked up in a tower who longingly observes the goings - on of the common people below as she avoids the overtures of marriage from unscrupulous knights and a wicked wizard . while the slow pace might pose the biggest challenge to younger viewers , there is also a scene in which rats attack a wizard ' s lackey and two instances of profanity (\ns - - t\nand\ndamn\n) . while it isn ' t the best anime in terms of the quality of the animation and the story itself , tween fans of the genre - - as well as their parents - - will respond to the movie ' s themes of seeking the reality underneath the appearances , empathy for others , and yearning for travel to faraway lands .\ni ' ll leave the third act alone , but , suffice to say , the action ramps up considerably here with arete ' s escape , and studio 4\u00b0c really saves the picture with its resolution - magic abounds , lessons are learned , redemption is tasted , and happily ever after is established . as for what it saves the picture from - the second act deals with the boredom of boak and arete ' s malaise . the film does a great job evoking these feelings in the audience , as it ' s pretty boring and slow . it does a not so great job mainly because it ' s pretty boring and slow . still , that ' s not enough to hinder the picture too much , and it makes up for that in the end . princess arete is a shot fired across ghibli ' s bow - though they don ' t have too much to worry about from this film alone , a few more of this quality from studio 4\u00b0c or anyone else ought to get them a little nervous .\nis an interesting piece of work . beautiful in its simplicity , it tells a tale of a princess who doesn ' t want to be saved by a knight in shining armor , but rather to live life by her own terms . i wouldn ' t exactly call it an opus of girl power , seeing as arete never once runs into men who remotely equal her in intellect and wisdom , but on the other hand it ' s refreshing to see a film starring a girl who uses her brains instead of fan service to get herself out of tricky situations .\nforegone conclusion : the fic is in - line with the canon of fates , so the reader knows that mikoto and arete ' s attempts to stop anankos and unite hoshido and nohr are ultimately doomed to failure . the best they do is stall for time .\noverall , it ' s the titular character who manages to keep this movie interesting and somewhat engaging . her desire to see and experience the world , to live and work as those she observes while locked away in her tower , makes her a princess much different from the archetypal princesses seen in so many kids ' movies . for kids beginning to come of age and starting to see and imagine a larger world outside their usual surroundings , these qualities alone make arete a relatable character , one the viewer can ' t help but root for as she struggles against characters less interesting than she .\n- long pans of the countryside , long journeys , this film is rife with scenes that simply take too damn long . one of the worst sequences involves the sorcerer and the princess almost competing to see who is more bored . i ' d have to call that one a truly inspired moment of animation , right there .\narete hime takes off from the heart of a medieval city depicted placing special attention on the trades , the clothing and the buildings , holding a closeness to the atmosphere of arthurian tales that was to me unseen in japanese animation . with that sober though colourful tone , the protagonist goes on to introduce her adventurous charms as a princess who prefers to risk her life by jumping the voids that separate her from the outside over choosing to stay in her tower and hear , unbelieving , the concoctions that suitors recite to her about either her beauty or their heroism , traits not present in either case .\nrussian - born origa first came to japan in 1991 on a home - stay program , and made her major debut in japan in 1995 under the emi music japan label . she performed theme songs for ghost in the shell : stand alone complex , ghost in the shell : stand alone complex 2nd gig , ghost in the shell : stand alone complex : solid state society , fantastic children , and princess arete . she also performed the hymn singing voice for the character kanon in gust and koei tecmo games ' ar nosurge playstation 3 and playstation vita video game , which shipped in japan last year .\narete is a curious little girl , who also happens to be a princess . clever and resourceful , she is the epitome of cool , and a truly inspirational role model . she is empathetic to the core , and tries to understand the reasons behind other people ' s actions before judging them , though she has her own problems to worry about . deprived of freedom and objectified as a prize for men to win , she never lets her circumstances dim her bold soul . she is obstinate and refuses to accept what she doesn ' t believe in ; her love of life is what keeps her ever hopeful , and because she never feels sorry for herself , we don ' t either . the sight of such a rich spirit confined in a cage is certainly sad , and is undoubtedly what gives the first half of the film its air of melancholy . but we never pity arete \u2013 we root for her . her character development is beautiful , and seeing her grow from a timid but intelligent princess into the brave adventurer she becomes is extremely satisfying . we are often teased with the notion that she will be saved by someone else eventually , but she ultimately puts an end to her misfortune using no magical object or outside help , but with her wits alone .\nwhat amazes me is that this work is old - school allegory . arete symbolizes the feminist and existentialist aspects of the work ; she feels timid , but she wants to find her own meaning of life . stuck in the towers and objectified as a treasure , she is sick of becoming a princess - - a twist on the archetype and an attack on the disney princess culture . there is a gradual progression of her character development : from an isolated figure afraid of having a meaningless life to a braver and maturing female . she is logically the person you will add to your favorite characters if you liked the movie a lot . boax , the villain , also controls a number of themes as well : the role of magic ( or technology if using the work to compare and contrast today\u2019s society ) , male superiority , and the villain archetype . other supporting characters reflect the wickedness of fairy tales in a realistic lens . anyone interested in writing or reading inventive tales will rejoice .\nspeaking of character , they don\u2019t have much personalities . arete just wants to sees the world and is curious . boax is a meanie - pants , really half is dialogue is just yelling . boax\u2019s servants grovel and amble are there though amble has a backbone and grovel is a frog .\nthough arete is the focus of the film for the most part , that is not to say the supporting cast is devoid of value . in fact , the main antagonist boax is done quite brilliantly . a wicked wizard on the outside , he has the soul of a spoiled and simple - minded child . he insists on glorifying a past long gone , and cannot deal with the sight of his world crumbling around him . his own long and enduring existence is soon coming to a halt , and that thought terrifies him . to say he is an allegory for patriarchy would be an understatement . he represents a whole set of values which slowly but surely are losing their influence over societies around the world . and yet , he remains a relatable and charismatic character with a whole lot of individuality . while ample is not as charismatic , she is an important ally to arete . both are forced into a submissive position ; nevertheless , while she never actively helps the princess , though she tries to , it ' s their mutual empathy what makes the cook share the precious piece of knowledge arete uses to save herself . by joining forces , these two competent , empowered female figures weaken others ' influence over their lives .\nsadly , the point of the film is that she must overcome prisons , both mental and physical , in order to attain that freedom , and it is in these sequences that the screenplay just drags and drags . it is almost a shame that boax turns out to be merely selfish and petty rather anything greater . . . the\nvillain\nin this piece is never really sympathetic , but never really more than an outside threat , you realize very quickly that princess arete can and will outsmart him even with her proverbial hands tied . the outcome almost seems to be a foregone conclusion , and that ' s what the children ' s audience is going to be looking for here .\nuptown girl : for her first husband , anankos . this ended up being a plot point when she had to manipulate her sister into letting them marry , much to arete ' s anger . later , her second husband sumeragi was the uptown boy for her , since she was supposed to be just a commoner .\nset years before the game ' s present setting , it follows mikoto ' s life as a princess of valla , before eventually becoming the queen of hoshido . while most of the fic ' s story is original due to how the time frame is largely unexplored , it follows the canon laid down by the game and tries to fill in the blanks of some unanswered plot points .\ntruth serums : the throne in valla is enchanted so that anybody sitting on it cannot lie . when hydra remembers his identity as the soul of anankos , he ' s able to prove it ( along with his non - hostility ) to arete and mikoto because he sat down on the throne sometime during their conversation .\nwhen vallites lose loved ones , it is customary for family members to cut off their hair , with the amount cut off being proportional to how close they were to the deceased . arete shaves down to the scalp after her husband is killed by anankos , and mikoto does likewise after sumeragi is killed and kamui is kidnapped .\nhe decides arete and mikoto aren ' t a threat to him and lets them go when they ' re in his grasp ; the sisters go on to delay his plans long enough for corrin , azura and the royals to grow up . had he simply killed them when he had the chance , he would have won .\narete is at once adorable and inspiring , in that fairy tale heroine manner , so all is not lost with this movie . lectures on philosophy are one of my greatest peeves , and she throws a couple out there , but thankfully , most of her character development focuses on her perspective . arete is not only starved of human contact , but also just the general gratification of being able to live . her yearning for things so gosh darned basic , things as simple as friends or everyday emotions , illustrates the degree to which she is sheltered and makes her pitiful in a heart wrenching way . she ` s even more affecting because she doesn ` t just cry and accept the pity . instead of lamenting her own misfortune , she always keeps her hope and her wits about her through tough situations to get the freedom which she so desires . arete ` s mild mannerisms are a break from the utter exaggerations of most anime characters , and is a benefit to her cause for sympathy . emotional understatement is much more effective than rampant bawling . her rounded personality makes her more complete , more nuanced . her timid demeanor and slight build serve to contrast and highlight her internal fortitude . when all is said and done , arete stands side by side with the best animated heroines targeted towards children in any feature , japanese or otherwise .\njapanese animation in recent years saw the rise of younger directors such as makoto shinkai ( your name , 2016 ) or mamoru hosoda ( wolf children , 2012 ) . if you like european\nhigh - blow\nmovie , katabuchi is for you . you will soon find that his understanding of classical movies and literature is extraordinary . princess arete is his first full - length movie and has many good points . however , the slow development of the story might bore the viewers . my suggestion is to watch his more recent mai mai miracle ( 2009 ) or in this corner of the world ( 2016 ) first , since these movies are more entertaining . if you like these movies and want to know more about katabuchi , you will enjoy this one .\nmikoto ' s first husband and kamui ' s blood father , whom she finds as an amnesiac man and nurses back to health . after he regains his memories , he learns he was actually anankos ' s soul given physical form , and helps mikoto , arete and their children escape . he then vanishes as his evil half takes over as the main antagonist of the story .\nsort of ; the letter was sent by the real garon as a genuine offer of peace , after arete died trying to warn him about anankos . but he was killed and replaced by anankos ' s familiar shortly after sending it , and anankos took the opportunity to further divide hoshido and nohr . the lost king elaborates on the events surrounding garon ' s\nreplacement\n.\nhowever , the aesthetics are ultimately unimportant , as this film is about several very interesting themes that are cleverly woven together . as i\u2019ve mentioned , the first thing that struck me was the commentary on gender roles common in fantasy stories . there\u2019s a real sadness about arete\u2019s fate , the fact that she\u2019s objectified and essentially caged to preserve her preciousness . she\u2019s smarter than her potential suitors , and sees through them for the power hungry pillagers that they are . she\u2019s sensitive to the lives of the peasants that she observes but can never influence , and when she escapes her tower to experience the real world , the people of the court conclude she\u2019s become cursed . the build up is very slow ( but never monotonous ) and it\u2019s forty minutes into the film that the conflict really begins when she\u2019s pawned off by her father to be married to an evil wizard ( the \u201cevil wizard\u201d part isn\u2019t a traditional fairytale trope , but the \u201cpawning off by her father\u201d is ) . when the wizard imprisons arete again , there\u2019s an interesting parallel between the princess\u2019s trapped state and the wizard who essentially isolates and imprisons himself , and another parallel between the wizard and a witch character that appeared earlier\u2026 one of whom is prepared to foolishly wait for something which will probably never happen , the other not .\nshotgun wedding : invoked by mikoto . she knows that she cannot get married to hydra due to him being a commoner , but she also knows that arete would be forced to allow a union if they have sex out of wedlock so as to preserve the family ' s honor . mikoto then sleeps with hydra and purposefully gets caught by one of her gossipy maids , leading to a quiet and hastily thrown together wedding .\ntraditional fairy - tale model . it uses clever metaphors and sensible story - telling to address its primary underlying theme : the reaching for freedom through self - discovery . arete must face her journey alone \u2013 no one will come and save her . the only way she can be set free from her predicament is by her own hands . she must re - discover the magic inside to shake off the shackles that bind her .\nthis is just the tip of the iceberg of the ideas that the film explores , but the pacing prevents anything from feeling crammed or overcooked . arete\u2019s actions during the final arc of the movie are both ironic and admirably heroic . i\u2019m nitpicking by naming this film\u2019s flaws , but the plot occasionally relies on convenient coincidences and the pacing probably severely limits its appeal . but anime that are as insightful and meaningful as this are a rarity .\nstudio 4\u00bac is well known for its smooth animations and appealing visuals , and it does not disappoint with princess arete . the relaxed pacing allows the movie to take its time and layer each scene so that they all feel dimensional . movements all look fluid , whereas the minimalistic character designs are cute and fitting of the fairy - tale premise . while the color scheme complements the medieval setting , the faded colors do make the movie look a bit dated , though everything else looks so pretty this detail can be easily overlooked . backgrounds seem as if they came right off a storybook ; outside environments look like oil paintings , and the interiors are all very detailed . on the sound department , it is equally superb : the theme song krasno solntse by origa is breathtakingly beautiful , and it complements the melancholic feel of some scenes perfectly . the ending theme kin ' iro no tsubasa sounds nostalgic , yet heartwarming . as for the rest of the ost , it is consistently solid , with some tracks more memorable than others ."]}

[ 7 ]\nthe year after bonanza was canceled , landon went on to star in the pilot of what would become another successful television series , little house on the prairie , again for nbc . the show was taken from a 1935 book that was published by laura ingalls wilder , whose character in the show was played by then - unknown actress , melissa gilbert . in addition to gilbert , two other unknown actresses also starred on the show : melissa sue anderson who appeared as mary ingalls , the oldest daughter in the ingalls family , and karen grassle , as charles ' s wife , caroline ingalls . landon served as executive producer , writer , and director of little house , making him a driving force in hollywood . the show , a success in its first season , emphasized family values and relationships . little house became landon ' s second - longest running series . above all , the entire cast shared a close bond with landon , especially gilbert .\ndirk blocker , the son of dan , turns up in a cameo as a tenderfoot reporter . the strapping leckner actually bears a stronger resemblance to the elder blocker , however , and emerges as the pic\u2019s best , most underused asset .\nthe show centers on the cartwright family , who live in the area of virginia city , nevada , bordering lake tahoe . the series stars lorne greene , pernell roberts , dan blocker , michael landon , and later , david canary .\nthe publisher of this book allows a portion of the content to be copied and pasted into external tools and documents .\n, he played the first master of kunta kinte , john reynolds . greene was also popular as the spokesman for alpo beef chunks dog food commercials through - out the 1970s .\na community building at malibu ' s bluffs park was named the michael landon center following the actor ' s death .\nif i\u2019m at home during the afternoon i will watch the waltons , little house on the prairie and then bonanza . i think because those times represent something we are lacking today in this world . peaceful , simple days and family togetherness . i think down deep inside that\u2019s what we all yearn for and maybe that\u2019s why we watch . i will continue to watch as long as they are on . little house just started over again with them leaving their home and heading out for new opportunities . watched \u201ccountry girls\u201d last night . lol that nellie\u2026one in every bunch .\nthe \u201creal\u201d ponderosa ranch house was a hollywood set . a theme park in incline village near lake tahoe had a house , but it was never used for the series . the theme park is closed but the buildings are still there and maintained by the owner ; they are used occasionally for special events .\noriginally , the cartwrights tended to be depicted as put - off by outsiders . lorne greene objected to this , pointing out that as the area ' s largest timber and livestock producer , the family should be less clannish . the producers agreed with this observation and changed the cartwrights to be more amiable .\ndan blocker was 6 - foot - 4 , 320 - pounds [ 11 ] when chosen to play the gentle middle son eric , better known as hoss . the nickname was used as a nod to the character ' s ample girth , [ 12 ] an endearing term for\nbig and friendly\n, used by his swedish mother ( & uncle gunnar ) , [ 13 ] or a rib to his humiliating , failed attempt to break a horse .

[ 2 ] it largely relies on creating a mood and fear of terrorism . its focus is on the aftermath and social consequences of terrorist attacks rather than on reveling in portraying explosive fireworks , bloody massacres or detailed killings of villains . the film does portray one bus explosion as it happens and some minor counterterrorism attacks in new york city , but it also addresses the emotional impact of terrorist attacks by showing the after - attack destruction of the film\u2019s terrorist attacks . this includes showing the attacks\u2019 human toll and how that impacts society and some of the film\u2019s main characters .\n, though only a fraction of it derives from the original short story . the film was both a box - office and a critical success , though complaints about the somewhat pat ending were not uncommon .\nrarely has a veteran filmmaker rejuvenated his career to such startling effect as john boorman with \u201cthe general , \u201d a fresh - off - the - slab biopic of maverick irish crime lord martin cahill that both challenges and entertains the audience at a variety of levels , as well as reviving the vitality of the helmer\u2019s earliest , mid - \u201960s pics . though the movie [ \u2026 ]\nbased on a legend from medieval china , mulan is the story of a girl who disguises herself as a man and goes to war in place of her father . at the time of the film\u2019s release in 1998 , it was widely rumoured that the chinese government banned it because they were so insulted by disney\u2019s interpretation . in actual fact , they were in a sulk because miramax had backed a film about the dalai lama , and refused to distribute any disney films at all . ironically , mulan was used as a bargaining chip by disney to help smooth over their relations , and while this succeeded , the film didn\u2019t . despite taking $ 300 million elsewhere , mulan proved to be a substantial flop in the country of its heroine . the reason ? other than it having a rubbish release date , it seems that disney was just as adept at disguising the title character . so , how different is their version from the source text ?\nthere is a certain honor in sticking to your guns , even if they are the wrong guns . martin cahill , the subject of john boorman ' s\nthe general ,\nwas for many years the most famous professional criminal in ireland , a man who copied robin hood , up to a point : he stole from the rich and gave to himself .\njesus and his disciples are going to be portrayed as homosexual in a soon -

over has partially become established reality . some of the players whom we meet in russian films are not actors in our sense but people who portray themselves and primarily in their own work process . in western europe the capitalistic exploitation of the film denies consideration to modern man\u2019s legitimate claim to being reproduced . under these circumstances the film industry is trying hard to spur the interest of the masses through illusion - promoting spectacles and dubious speculations .\nas wasko ( 1994 ) points out , hollywood films are foremost commodities and have been recognized as such for a long time . in today\u2019s extremely competitive market economy , media conglomerates , whose subsidiaries film studios are , fight against losses by investing in products and formulas that have brought profits in the past , such as films of the action -

cultural film project to date . the balanda and the bark canoes ( molly reynolds , tania nehme and rolf de heer , 2006 ) that takes us behind the scenes of this film to provide invaluable insight into the extraordinary processes of collaboration between balanda ( \u201cwhite - fella\u201d ) , director rolf de heer and the yolngu people of ramingining .\ncassandra truth : general devereaux himself warns his superiors not to use him or his troops in new york city , as he knows that extremely strict martial law and the extreme force the military requires to carry out its operations would result in human rights violations , if not worse . they ignore his protests and everything goes to hell .\n, to wreak havoc on the populace after having been interred underground for thousands of years ( a touch unique to spielberg\u2019s version ) \u2014the film\u2019s approach to the story rarely generated excitement in its audiences , who may have been primed for more action than watching cruise hiding in a farmhouse with a nutty survivor ( tim robbins ) . the film was a box - office success , though some critical dissent was registered .\nthe distracted person , too , can form habits . more , the ability to master certain tasks in a state of distraction proves that their solution has become a matter of habit . distraction as provided by art presents a covert control of the extent to which new tasks have become soluble by apperception . since , moreover , individuals are tempted to avoid such tasks , art will tackle the most difficult and most important ones where it is able to mobilize the masses . today it does so in the film . reception in a state of distraction , which is increasing noticeably in all fields of art and is symptomatic of profound changes in apperception , finds in the film its true means of exercise . the film with its shock effect meets this mode of reception halfway . the film makes the cult value recede into the background not only by putting the public in the position of the critic , but also by the fact that at the movies this position requires no attention . the public is an examiner , but an absent - minded one .\n. in : film analysis : a norton reader . editors : geiger , j . and rutsky , rl . , . norton . 43 - 62 . 9780393979831\nthe fbi , cia , nypd and u . s . army all become involved . the plot portrays conflicts and distrust among these agencies ' representatives , reflecting real life trouble among the country\u2019s some fifty counterterrorist agencies . the film\u2019s protagonist , anthony \u201chub\u201d hubbard ( played by denzel washington ) leads a joint fbi / nypd antiterrorist force . he works in partial co - operation with a cia operative , elise kraft / sharon bridger ( played by annette bening ) , who first introduces herself as elise kraft , hiding her real name as well as her own close connections to the suspected arab terrorists . general devereaux ( played by bruce willis ) further complicates hubbard\u2019s efforts when the general implements martial law . the narrative emphasizes the unsavory aspects of devereaux ' character , especially showing that he has no respect for the u . s . constitution , that he is over - zealous in trying to resolve the matter his own way , and that he had been the brains behind the muslim religious leader\u2019s capture , which he has kept a secret from the president .\nthis piece about an upcoming \u201cgay jesus film\u201d is one of those examples that demonstrates a good petition never goes away , even when the issue it addresses has long since been settled ( or was never really an issue in the first place ) . the \u201cgay jesus film\u201d petition first hit the fan in 1984 , and by the end of 1985 more than a million christians had written protest letters in an attempt to have the non - existent movie it referenced banned .\n. in : new takes in film - philosophy . editors : carel , h . and tuck , g . , . palgrave macmillan . 154 - 170 . 9780230294851\nfor the film , what matters primarily is that the actor represents himself to the public before the camera , rather than representing someone else . one of the first to sense the actor\u2019s metamorphosis by this form of testing was pirandello . though his remarks on the subject in his novel si gira were limited to the negative aspects of the question and to the silent film only , this hardly impairs their validity . for in this respect , the sound film did not change anything essential . what matters is that the part is acted not for an audience but for a mechanical contrivance \u2013 in the case of the sound film , for two of them . \u201cthe film actor , \u201d wrote pirandello , \u201cfeels as if in exile \u2013 exiled not only from the stage but also from himself . with a vague sense of discomfort he feels inexplicable emptiness : his body loses its corporeality , it evaporates , it is deprived of reality , life , voice , and the noises caused by his moving about , in order to be changed into a mute image , flickering an instant on the screen , then vanishing into silence . . . . the projector will play with his shadow before the public , and he himself must be content to play before the camera . \u201d this situation might also be characterized as follows : for the first time \u2013 and this is the effect of the film \u2013 man has to operate with his whole living person , yet forgoing its aura . for aura is tied to his presence ; there can be no replica of it . the aura which , on the stage , emanates from macbeth , cannot be separated for the spectators from that of the actor . however , the singularity of the shot in the studio is that the camera is substituted for the public . consequently , the aura that envelops the actor vanishes , and with it the aura of the figure he portrays .\nthe artistic performance of a stage actor is definitely presented to the public by the actor in person ; that of the screen actor , however , is presented by a camera , with a twofold consequence . the camera that presents the performance of the film actor to the public need not respect the performance as an integral whole . guided by the cameraman , the camera continually changes its position with respect to the performance . the sequence of positional views which the editor composes from the material supplied him constitutes the completed film . it comprises certain factors of movement which are in reality those of the camera , not to mention special camera angles , close - ups , etc . hence , the performance of the actor is subjected to a series of optical tests . this is the first consequence of the fact that the actor\u2019s performance is presented by means of a camera . also , the film actor lacks the opportunity of the stage actor to adjust to the audience during his performance , since he does not present his performance to the audience in person . this permits the audience to take the position of a critic , without experiencing any personal contact with the actor . the audience\u2019s identification with the actor is really an identification with the camera . consequently the audience takes the position of the camera ; its approach is that of testing . this is not the approach to which cult values may be exposed .\nas a deadly russian agent and ray winstone as a british agent who secretly is in the pay of the soviets and double - crosses indy . deliberately made with a retro style , the film found favour with audiences , becoming the third biggest movie at the box - office that year .\nessentially , disney\u2019s enemy comes from outside and is an invading force , whereas wei\u2019s is an uprising and a threat to the emperor\u2019s ego . in addition , the film shows us the huns attacking the great wall and the emperor\u2019s reaction ; the play simply sees mulan stand in front of the audience and give a monologue . which brings us to the title character .\nboorman ' s film is shot in wide - screen black and white , and as it often does , black and white emphasizes the characters and the story , instead of setting them awash in atmosphere . and boorman ' s narrative style has a nice offhand feel about it . instead of explaining everything in neat little simpleminded setups , he lets us discover for ourselves that cahill is living with both women . as the general unfolds his devious criminal schemes , we see them as they develop , instead of getting those cliched crime movie chalk talks .\nalthough the action - adventure classification as a film genre did not become part of the popular culture until the 1980s , the 1960s had already introduced spectacular non - stop action with the screen arrival of james bond . the bond films , which at very first were considered to be b - films in the u . s . , set the standard for big - event action - adventure films which have repeated ingredients , including a simplified characterization of villains , usually foreign and to some degree insane . at the end of each film the white hero returns the balance of power , the last shot showing bond\u2019s departure from the screen with his latest female conquest .\na talented team of hollywood directors and writers enlisted in the armed services and were assigned to the film units that created them , including frank capra , john huston , john ford , george stevens , and william wyler .\nclassic , which had already been adapted into a highly regarded film in 1953 . despite a number of effective set pieces , including the opening scene\u2014in which giant alien tripods emerge from underneath the streets of modern - day newark ,\nthanks for the comment and tip ! i actually have this film and i agree , especially the end decision . it could have been really cheesy at some points but they kept it just right . the editing was a bit hap - hazard though !\nfrom an alluring appearance or persuasive structure of sound the work of art of the dadaists became an instrument of ballistics . it hit the spectator like a bullet , it happened to him , thus acquiring a tactile quality . it promoted a demand for the film , the distracting element of which is also primarily tactile , being based on changes of place and focus which periodically assail the spectator . let us compare the screen on which a film unfolds with the canvas of a painting . the painting invites the spectator to contemplation ; before it the spectator can abandon himself to his associations . before the movie frame he cannot do so . no sooner has his eye grasped a scene than it is already changed . it cannot be arrested . duhamel , who detests the film and knows nothing of its significance , though something of its structure , notes this circumstance as follows : \u201ci can no longer think what i want to think . my thoughts have been replaced by moving images . \u201d the spectator\u2019s process of association in view of these images is indeed interrupted by their constant , sudden change . this constitutes the shock effect of the film , which , like all shocks , should be cushioned by heightened presence of mind . by means of its technical structure , the film has taken the physical shock effect out of the wrappers in which dadaism had , as it were , kept it inside the moral shock effect .\n3 . james agee ,\nreview of guadalcanal diary ,\nthe nation ( november 13 , 1943 ) . reprinted in agee on film ( boston : beacon press , 1958 ) , p . 59 .\n[ guest speaker ]\ncross -

out performance . the story is fairly basic - - a crime drama in which the criminal cleverly eludes his pursuers - - and i can ' t say that by the end of the film i cared about the characters . the film is so evenly presented that i wondered what it was saying . what is unique about this criminal that we haven ' t seen before besides his physique ( compare gleeson to george clooney ' s danny ocean ) ? overall , there ' s not a lot to feel strongly about in this film except gleeson ' s superb performance .\nmy opinion of the film has changed over the years and i appreciate it for what it is . my two year old grandson watches it several times a day and enjoys it because of the music and animation / artwork . one of the things i find interesting is , it remains one of the few disney films where the villain\u2019s end is the direct result of the hero\u2019s actions rather than the classic disney \u201cfall\u201d to his death .\ncrime drama about irish gangster martin cahill ( brendan gleeson ) who became known as ' the general ' after co - ordinating a series of armed robberies in dublin during the 1980s . hailed in some quarters as a folk - hero for his defiance against the authorities , martin pulls one job too many when he steals paintings belonging to the beit collection . with the police , headed by ned kenny ( jon voight ) , closing in , cahill ' s problems are multiplied by the increasing interest of the ira in his activities ."]}

alpha 2 ] is deeply offended since it is tradition that the family elders choose the youngster ' s spouses . to make things worse , saktivelu reveals his plans on opening a chain of restaurants in chennai which saddens periya thevar as he wanted his son to help the villagers improve their lifestyle with his level of education .\nperiya thevar is a well respected village chief . his younger half - brother ( kaka radhakrishnan ) and nephew maya thevar ( nassar ) hold a huge grudge against him over a falling out . the entire village suffers from a spillover of this longstanding family feud as most of the village and its surrounding areas that fall within its jurisdiction is divided between the brothers . since maya thevar always tries to one up periya thevar , it puts them at loggerheads with each other .\nsaktivelu spends time in the village with his girlfriend by re - visiting his childhood memories . they come across an old temple which has been closed off on maya thevar\u2019s instructions . he insists on entering and his friend and servant esaki ( vadivelu ) breaks open the lock for them to look around . maya thevar hears of this and a brutal riot is started among the two village factions . periya thevar , in order to quell the situation , contemplates on apologizing to his opponents . sakthivelu feels it should be him or esaki who should apologize . when saktivelu asks for esaki , he learns that maya thevar has amputated esaki\u2019s hand for opening the temple . in order to prevent further escalation of the situation saktivelu , with permission from his father , enlists the help of his friends in the government and opens the temple for all legally . slighted by this , maya thevar hires goons to break a dam protecting a part of the village faction that supports periya thevar . although one of the villagers spots one of the goons near the dam , he does not think much of it .\nthe dam is damaged by explosives used by the goons which results in flooding of half the village . this results in numerous deaths including infants which deeply saddens saktivelu . he spots the goon who placed the explosives again in the village and gives chase . after capturing , he hands the goon over to the police but the goon does not speak of maya thevar ' s involvement due to fear for his own family ' s safety .\nlater maya thevar closes a portion of his land , preventing the public from reaching the main road easily . sakthivelu and his father invite them for talks at village panchayat to resolve the standoff due the riots and flooding . in the village panchayat [ lower - alpha 3 ] , accusations fly from both sides . with no evidence backing up the truth , maya thevar accuses periya thevar for orchestrating various attacks on his brother ' s family . disrespected and broken , periya thevar returns to his home and passes away due to a heart attack later that night . saktivelu takes over his father\u2019s duties as the head of the village .\nas time passes , this incident dies down . the villagers express concern to saktivelu about going around the piece of land belonging to maya thevar\u2019s side of the village everyday to work in their farm which causes a much longer travelling time . saktivelu reasons with the owner of the land to open it up for all villagers to pass so that their long commute is shortened . although understanding and willing , the land owner ( played by kallapart natarajan ) who actually is maya thevar ' s maternal uncle , is afraid of maya thevar\u2019s backlash especially since he has a daughter ( revathi ) . saktivelu assuages his fear by arranging marriage between a well - to - do person from his village to the land owner ' s daughter . everybody involved happily agrees and the land owner opens up the land for everyone .\non the day of the wedding , the groom runs away , fearing maya thevar . the landowner and his daughter are distraught over this claiming that it is a huge disrespect to his family . he opines that even if someone marries his daughter , they have to live in constant fear . saktivelu then gets permission from the landowner and weds his daughter . although saktivelu still has feelings for his girlfriend and his new bride is very shy , they overcome their awkwardness and move on . soon , his girlfriend returns and learns the truth . although saddened by the turn of events , she understands the situation and leaves . saktivelu , too , closes the chapter about his girlfriend and starts his new life with his wife .\nmaya thevar , agitated by the opening of the land , plants a bomb during the village festival . this results in deaths on both sides of the village . both factions of the village , wanting revenge , go after maya thevar and his family . saktivelu protects the innocent family and helps them get away from the villagers . appreciative of saktivelu ' s efforts to protect them , they give away maya thevar ' s hiding location .\nsaktivelu goes to meet maya thevar and asks him to surrender to the police before the villagers kill him . maya thevar\u2019s rabid hatred for saktivelu makes him reject his offer of help . maya thevar , blaming saktivelu for all his problems , tries to kill him . in the struggle that follows , saktivelu accidentally decapitates maya thevar . although other villagers are willing to take the blame for maya thevar ' s murder , saktivelu gives himself up to the police .\np . c . sriram and n . p . satish took care of cinematography and editing respectively . cameraman tirru worked as p . c . sriram ' s assistant and actor tinku worked as assistant photographer respectively .

an article about vincent gallo ' s\nthe brown bunny\nin wednesday ' s calendar section said the theatrical version of the movie was 26 minutes longer than the one screened at the cannes film festival in 2003 . the theatrical version is 26 minutes shorter .\nbad bunny never took formal music lessons , nor studied any instruments . he is a singer ,\nresponsible , i never lacked food or anything material , \u201creveals bad bunny about his personal life .\nit\u2019s possible to attach a lot of big thoughts to this film . the brown bunny can be viewed as a depiction of the neediness and alienation at the core of traditional masculinity . its final scene is perhaps best read as a critique of pornographic imagery , and a demonstration of how disturbing real live sex onscreen can be when human feeling isn\u2019t forcibly removed . but more than anything , the brown bunny is a movie about a person who spends a lot of time staring out of car windows , and it intends to evoke the feelings one has when spending a lot of time staring out of car windows . it\u2019s the opposite of pretentious \u2014 the brown bunny is exactly what it purports to be .\ntoday , bunny resides in kingston and on a farm located in the interior of jamaica ( saint thomas ) , according to bob marley ' s official website . bunny wailer and beverley kelso are the only surviving members of the original wailers .\nactress chlo\ufffd sevingy ( r ) is shown in a scene with co - star vincent gallo in the new film\nthe brown bunny\nwhich tells the story of a professional motorcycle racer who heads from new hampshire to california . . . more\nand though merideth finn , director of acquisitions and producer for fine line in new york , said the film was not right for her company , she found the brown bunny a \u201creally interesting film\u201d that came from \u201ca good place . \u201d\nthe album is now released and is doing very well in europe . the taste of jamaican life was invigorating to bunny who threw himself into recording , production and promotion and quickly became a jamaican household name for the second time . among his projects since his return home has been the production of an album \u201cfather and son\u201d with daniel brown , the son of the late superstar dennis brown .\nchloe sevigny is the subject of playboy ' s january 20q feature , and in the interview she talks about the final season of ' big love , ' her infamous oral sex scene in ' brown bunny ' and her frustrations dating in new york .\nbunny wailer toured with the wailers in england and the united states , but soon became reluctant to leave jamaica . he and tosh became more marginalized in the group as the wailers became an international success , and attention was increasingly focused on marley . bunny subsequently left the wailers in 1973\nif staring at landscapes while listening to sad songs is something you do all the time , then you already \u201cget\u201d the brown bunny . this movie might even end up being a good friend that you can hang out with without speaking to all that much .\ngoing by the standard playbook of movie publicity , these initiatives may seem ill - advised , even crazy . but ' ' the brown bunny ' ' is , of course , not a standard film . and mr . gallo is not a standard filmmaker .\nmaybe this is just an impossible movie to talk about . merely describing it sounds like criticism . just trust me when i say that the brown bunny is a comfort when you\u2019ve been maimed and drugged , and i mean that as a compliment .\n\u201cit happened ,\nshe says .\ni wish i had the confidence i had now . i was insecure . everyone says , \u2018what do you regret ? \u2019 and i know that they want me to say the brown bunny , but i won\u2019t . \u201d\nin spite of the fighting talk , gallo seems devastated by the hostile reception to brown bunny . the viciousness of the attack on ebert ( made all the more unpleasant by ebert ' s announcement that he did indeed have cancer ) seems less like gallo ' s humour than a sign that the man is unravelling .\ngallo spoke about taking the film to cannes , changes that were made to the final cut , the sex scene , and the brown bunny billboard that he designed for sunset blvd . , which was taken down less than a week after it went up because of the reaction by some to the advertisement\u2019s graphic content .\nit fills me with great sadness that the incredibly harsh reception this film received effectively killed vincent gallo\u2019s career and desire to work again in the film industry . between buffalo 66 and the brown bunny he\u2019s proven to be one of my favourite filmmakers , and his command of material and\u2026\npity\nthe brown bunny ,\nvincent gallo ' s cinematic meditation about emotions that just won ' t die . early screenings were disastrous . gallo has been pilloried for his self - indulgence and self - promotion , charges inflamed by a controversial sunset boulevard billboard showing the writer - director receiving oral pleasure from co - star chloe sevigny . in short ,\nthe brown bunny ' s\nprerelease hype has been bad enough to be good : who doesn ' t want to see a movie that evokes such extremism ?\ncad never got back to me , but out of the blue i got an email from gallo saying he would be interested in the doing the film , but\nplease , could you wait until i ' ve finished editing my movie\n. the rumour in la was that the editing of brown bunny was not going well . bitchy stories on the internet referred to the film as brown turkey , and gallo was tearing his hair out trying to turn the film around in the edit .\nthe soundtrack has previously been issued on cd . there was also a vinyl version credited to a company called brown records , but according to\nbunny also recorded \u201cstrawberry letter 23\u201d as a solo artiste . this recording went to the top 30 on the british charts . it was following this success with emi records , that bunny was featured in the village voice and went to america to promote the single . while in america bunny brown toured with heatwave , performing with earth , wind & fire , the o\u2019jays , billy joel , evelyn \u201cchampagne\u201d king and yoko ono . in the studio he worked with luther van dross ( recording commercial jingles ) , curtis blow , the main ingredients , lisa fisher and manhattan transfer\u2019s kenwood dennard and delmar brown . he also recorded an album \u201cfunky weekend\u201d produced by tony sylvester of the main ingredients which was never released because of contractual agreements .\n\u201ci was with chlo\u00eb every minute , \u201d mr . gallo said . \u201cand i never saw her cry . \u201d ms . sevigny\u2019s publicist , amanda horton , concurred and also pointed out that the brown bunny received a standing ovation that she put at 10 minutes .\nand it gets better - harper collins are already hard at work republishing ted ' s original bing bunny titles , as well as new multi - format tv tie - ins . bing bunny producer and ceo of acamar films mikael shields said that :\nactor and musician vincent gallo takes on the role of writer , director , editor , cinematographer , and star with his second filmmaking effort , the brown bunny . motorcycle racer bud clay ( gallo ) drives his van across the country in search of his lost love , daisy ( chlo\u00eb sevigny ) . he stops at her parents ' house and sees the brown bunny she left behind . along the rest of the way , he stops for gas , rides his bike , and makes out with a woman at a roadside rest area ( cheryl tiegs ) . he meets up with daisy when he finally arrives in los angeles , leading to the revelatory conclusion in his hotel room . the brown bunny premiered in competition at the 2003 cannes film festival in a working cut of 119 minutes that was widely panned ; a 93 minute final edit was shown at subsequent festivals and premiered in the united states in the summer of 2004 .\nactor and musician vincent gallo takes on the role of writer , director , editor , cinematographer , and star with his second filmmaking effort , the brown bunny . motorcycle racer bud clay ( gallo ) drives his van across the country in search of his lost love , daisy ( chlo\u00eb sevigny ) . he stops at her parents ' house and sees the brown bunny she left behind . along the rest of the way , he stops for gas , rides his bike , and makes out with a woman at a roadside rest area ( cheryl tiegs ) . he meets up with daisy when he finally arrives in los angeles , leading to the revelatory conclusion in his hotel room . the brown bunny premiered in competition at the 2003 cannes film festival in a working cut of 119 minutes that was widely panned ; a 93 minute final edit was shown at subsequent festivals and premiered in the united states in the summer of 2004 .\nchloe sevigny has received strong backlash towards her recent film ' the brown bunny ' , after critics attacked her over an oral sex scene . the actress is upset by the critical response to the scene between her and vincent gallo , defending it as\nromantic\nand\nbeautiful\n, as opposed to gratuitous .\nthere were other , more positive reactions , too . according to a urltoken translation of france\u2019s le monde , the paper\u2019s film critic wrote that though the brown bunny was not \u201ca masterpiece , \u201d it was a \u201cbeautiful film , dense , courageous , singular , inventing its own form . \u201d\ncritics who saw the film last autumn at the venice and toronto festivals walked in expecting the disaster they ' d read about from cannes . here is bill chambers of film freak central , writing from toronto :\nebert catalogued his mainstream biases ( unbroken takes : bad ; non - classical structure : bad ; name actresses being aggressively sexual : bad ) . . . and then had a bigger delusion of grandeur than ' the brown bunny ' s ' gallo - centric credit assignations : ' i will one day be thin but vincent gallo will always be the director of ' the brown bunny . '\ncannes is the place where chlo\u00eb sevigny gained notoriety in 2003 , when the brown bunny featured the actress and vincent gallo in an unsimulated fellatio scene . how times have changed in the intervening period ; this week i met with the 41 - year - old in cannes , where kitty , the short film that she directed , is closing the critics\u2019 week section of the festival .\n< p > < a href =\nurltoken\n> blow job scene < / a > for < a href =\nurltoken\n> the brown bunny < / a > on < a href =\nurltoken\n> traileraddict < / a > . < / p >\non friday , i had three wisdom teeth pulled out of my skull and was subsequently prescribed vicodin for the pain . a few days later , i decided to revisit the brown bunny , vincent gallo\u2019s hugely divisive , deeply weird , and conspicuously bugs - splattered road movie . you could say these things were related .\nthe brown bunny is definitely not the worst movie i ' ve seen ( that honour goes to another sevigny film , gummo ) , but it certainly is the most controversial i\u2019ve seen in recent memory . at the very least , gallo should be commended for offering something brash and new - even though the film may never see the light of day at a theatre near you .\n' ' i think that was the scariest three days of my life , ' ' mr . gallo said , of the sex scene , filmed in a motel room , adding : ' ' if people are sitting there watching ' the brown bunny ' and waiting for the motel scene , then i just can ' t relate to them . ' '\nhere ' s the rub . the edited version of\nthe brown bunny ,\nroughly 30 minutes shorter than the one that sparked audience mayhem at the cannes film festival , is a good film . self - indulgent ? sure , but it ' s equally self - loathing . an idiosyncratic document of sexual obsession and guilt , it alienates as easily as it mesmerizes .\nirony . no matter how bad a rabbit is , it must be tender . i\u2019m not bad or good , just a bad bunny . \u201c\nmr . ebert also e - mailed me a copy of a piece he wrote for the sun - times , which was scheduled to run on june 4 . in it , he wrote : \u201ci had a colonoscopy once , and they let me watch it on tv . it was more entertaining than \u2018the brown bunny . ' \u201d\nacamar has also revealed that various key global broadcasters are already on board while the firm is developing a global publishing , licensing and digital campaign for the property with the licensing company representing bing bunny around the world .\navailable year -

looking attempt by mr . gallo to reproduce the kind of loosely structured mood pieces that found american and select foreign - language cinemas of the 1960 ' s and 70 ' s often at their most adventurous , with monte hellman ' s 1971 ' ' two - lane blacktop ' ' the most obvious touchstone . like mr . hellman ' s laid - back masterpiece , ' ' the brown bunny ' ' begins with a race ( mr . hellman ' s driver wins , mr . gallo ' s motorcyclist loses ) and quickly tries for an air of cool detachment . but while mr . hellman ' s directing remains consistently detached no matter how hot the cars or emotional entanglements , mr . gallo is happy to lavish his lead performer with love , perhaps because in addition to serving as the director , writer , producer , editor and director of photography on ' ' the brown bunny , ' ' mr . gallo is also the film ' s star .\nprofound and deep melancholy filtered through a meandering and fragmented lens . the first hour of the brown bunny drifts along hypnotically through highways and sunsets , and our protagonist bud clay appears directionless and empty as the roads he drives . until of course we eventually settle in on the inevitable final half hour where he is forced to confront the thing he has been simultaneously running from and ploughing headfirst towards .\nthe only british hope , peter greenaway ' s the tulse luper suitcases , which will be shown today , is a 50 -

ups with detached distance , effectively inviting the viewer into the character ' s alienated mind . it ' s a sad and lonesome place , and it gets sadder and more lonesome as the movie progresses .\nhey folks , harry here . . . wow . . . ya know , i don ' t believe i can remember reading a single review of the brown bunny from this year ' s cannes that said the film was a blow - up from a vhs copy and unfinished . that ' s a pretty major detail to not include in the slams . it ' s odd , from this review , it sounds like brown bunny is a remake of girl on a motorcycle , but guy on a motorcycle . i ' m very curious to see this film now . also , i don ' t know if chloe sevigny has ever been as adorable looking as in these pictures below .\ngallo doesn ' t have an agent . he uses a trusted friend who lives on sunset boulevard called cad to field requests for him . cad told me that vincent was deep in editing his new movie brown bunny , the long - awaited follow - up to buffalo 66 .\nhow much you paying him ?\ncad asked .\nin may of 2003 i walked out of the press screening of vincent gallo ' s\nthe brown bunny\nat the cannes film festival and was asked by a camera crew what i thought of the film . i said i thought it was the worst film in the history of the festival . that was hyperbole - - i hadn ' t seen every film in the history of the festival - - but i was still vibrating from one of the most disastrous screenings i had ever attended .\nthe negative reaction had little , if anything , to do with the brown bunny \u2018s fabled sex scene . mr . ebert wrote in one of his dispatches from cannes : \u201cthe film consists of an unendurable 90 minutes of uneventful banality . \u201d in another , he wrote that if \u201cgallo had thrown away all of the rest of the movie and made the sevigny scene into a short film , he would have had something . \u201d\ncontroversy is nothing new to gallo ' s\nthe brown bunny ,\nan unfinished version of which elicited boos at the 2003 cannes film festival . film critic roger ebert called it the worst picture ever to be screened at the event . dismissing the possibility it could land a distributor , entertainment weekly ' s lisa schwarzbaum wrote :\nno one in america will ever see a frame of this film .\nbut then a funny thing happened . gallo went back into the editing room and cut 26 minutes of his 118 - minute film , or almost a fourth of the running time . and in the process he transformed it . the film ' s form and purpose now emerge from the miasma of the original cut , and are quietly , sadly , effective . it is said that editing is the soul of the cinema ; in the case of\nthe brown bunny ,\nit is its salvation .\n' ' if you go to see ' the brown bunny ' without hating me - - or resenting me as a filmmaker - - then there ' s a beautiful film there , ' ' he said . ' ' but if you can ' t get past your feelings about me , then you can ' t see that . ' '\nthe brown bunny ,\nthough , is pretty in its own way . it ' s a somber poem of a film sure to frustrate those who prefer resolution to ambiguity . controversial hype aside , that indeterminacy is its primary draw . what ' s unsolvable makes us think , and , like an inscrutably bad dream , lingers on .\nthe movie was howled out of cannes last year . filmmaker vincent gallo and his leading lady , chloe sevigny , were practically led to the film critics ' equivalent of a scaffold . it wasn ' t pretty . people hated , just hated\nthe brown bunny .\nof course , everyone managed to fit the movie into their schedule , since the movie also had a graphic sex act in its final section .\ni was pleasantly surprised to discover that vincent gallo ' s notorious the brown bunny isn ' t a horrible film . though the film may be surprising , it isn ' t by any stretch pleasant . gallo ' s effort\u2014which he wrote , directed , edited , and produced ( among other duties ) \u2014is a sincere one , and arguably a good one : a psychological snapshot of a damaged loner as seen in contrast to the girl who means everything to him . eagerly defiant of audience expectations , gallo takes the long way around to his physically and emotionally raw\nclimax .\neven the brown bunny ' s defenders will have to admit it ' s a vanity project ; the film ' s detractors\u2014and who but the director would blame them ? \u2014can ' t get on gallo ' s trip .\nto dispatch with the obvious : as movie newshounds and numerous los angeles drivers know , ' ' the brown bunny ' ' features a sexual act between the director and his co - star chlo\u00eb sevigny that ' s generally found in bedrooms and wherever else people have sex as well as in those disposable entertainments shelved in the back room of your local video store . earlier this month , a blurred image from the scene in question , branded with a lurid ( and spurious ) xxx rating , loomed in a billboard above los angeles ' s sunset boulevard , causing a teapot media tempest during an otherwise slow movie - news month . the sign was taken down after several days , but its provocation lingers , principally because a budget - conscious movie like ' ' the brown bunny ' ' needs manufactured controversy as much as the entertainment media does .\na \u201cfat pig with the physique of a slave trader , \u201d and ebert responding with , \u201cit is true that i am fat , but one day i will be thin , and he will still be the director of \u2018the brown bunny . \u2019 \u201d it was all settled when gallo entered a new cut of the film at the toronto film festival ( 26 minutes shorter , but blowjob scene intact ) , which ebert respected much more . while\nurltoken was present at the 2004 press roundtable for filmmaker vincent gallo ' s controversial film , the brown bunny . infamously , famed film critic roger ebert called the original version , which played at the 2003 cannes film festival ,\nthe worst film in the history of cannes .\ngallo cut the film by 25 minutes , which was enough for ebert to then give the re - edited version a positive review . the film stars gallo and chloe sevigny , and features an unsimulated sex scene that drew outcry and was released unrated .\nin the next few days , mr . ebert may help mr . gallo\u2019s film even more , though probably not intentionally . the day after mr . gallo strafed the film critic on page six , the same column reported that mr . ebert was \u201ccrafting a reply\u201d to mr . gallo that he would air on the nationally syndicated tv show that he co - hosts with film critic richard roeper - a response that is sure to draw even more attention to the brown bunny .\n' ' the brown bunny ' s ' ' path to public ignominy began in earnest at the 2003 cannes film festival , where it received a hostile , noisily rude reception from the press at its premiere . merit aside , the larger trouble with that fateful screening wasn ' t mr . gallo ' s artistry or his ego , both in evidence and subjected to attack , but context . shown in competition rather than in one of the festival ' s less prestigious , less visible programs , ' ' the brown bunny ' ' was savaged by a media all too happy to give the dregs of hollywood and official art - house cinema a free pass . the hullabaloo did furnish the bored press comic relief , always a good thing during a lackluster festival . and now , many months later , it has inspired mr . gallo to claim that the much - derided version presented at cannes was , in actuality , unfinished .\npeople are grossly offended by that one scene , dismiss the whole idea of the film and unbothered to give a fair criticism to the film itself . if anything that ending is the most exciting part of the movie after a long tedious \u201cride\u201d . it\u2019s mostly misunderstood , and rejected by many due to the infamous exchange of insults between vincent , the director , and roger eberts . nonetheless , the portrayal of a psychologically broken man is quite intense . what\u2019s hard to grasp was the the decision making the brown bunny into a feature length , it would\u2019ve been utterly fine as an hour short film .\nthe brown bunny came to international attention when critics blasted a rough cut of it at last year ' s cannes film festival . it was essentially a movie where a guy drove around for a long time , then got a blowjob . even more famous was the mini - war of the words between writer / director / star vincent gallo and film critic roger ebert , which ended with ebert calling a film of his colonoscopy more enjoyable than the brown bunny . later , to keep the flames of self - promotion burning , gallo put up a billboard of co - star chloe sevigny fellating him in hollywood , with the actual act just out of view . he recut the film , allegedly trimming close to half an hour of him driving around , and the final result is not as bad as what initially screened . there is decent amount of emotion in the film , but it still comes off as self - indulgent and boring .\nthe year was 2003 and people thought chlo\u00eb sevigny ' s acting career was over almost as soon as it had begun . the former downtown it girl and sassy magazine intern rose to wider fame thanks to 1996 ' s kids , picked up an oscar nomination in 2000 for boys don ' t cry , gained status as a queen of indie cinema , and then took a part in 2003 ' s brown bunny .\nnot that the film was lacking a profile . even before mr . gallo had set foot in the south of france , the brown bunny had become a topic of much discussion once word leaked that the film culminated in a scene in which mr . gallo\u2019s co - star chlo\u00eb sevigny , whom he once briefly dated , gives him a very real - looking blowjob . but by the time mr . gallo and ms . sevigny traversed the red carpet at the grand theatre lumiere - capacity 3 , 200 - for the film\u2019s official may 21 premiere , the advance word on the brown bunny had grown much uglier . the first press screening of the film , which had occurred the previous evening - mr . gallo was not there - \u201cwas remarkable for the unrestrained hostility of the audience , \u201d wrote new york times film critic a . o . scott , who noted among the reactions to the film that \u201cevery time\u201d mr . gallo\u2019s \u201cname appeared in the end credits ( which was often ) , they whistled some more , and gave voice to that french form of abuse that sounds like a cross between the lowing of a cow and the hooting of an owl . \u201d\nshe could have gone hollywood then . she could have gone romcom , happy endings , sides of buses , but instead , after a handful of critically acclaimed roles in leftfield ,\ndifficult\nfilms including american psycho and lars von trier ' s dogville , she agreed to perform unsimulated oral sex on co - star and director vincent gallo in 2003 ' s the brown bunny . the film was panned , loudly , with sevigny ' s scene the punchline to many critics ' jokes . the new york times , however , asked readers to\ngive the woman credit\u2026 she says her lines with feeling and puts her iconoclasm right out there where everyone can see it . she may be nuts ,\nwrote manohla dargis ,\nbut she ' s also unforgettable .\nher agents saw things differently , and after the brown bunny ' s release at the cannes film festival dropped her as a client .\nundaunted , we track gallo down to the cannes film festival a month later , where he has flown in with the finished cans of film for brown bunny . he believes that if he entrusts them to anyone else , he will be screwed over in some way or a copy will appear suddenly on the internet . he is in a foul mood , we are told by a publicist . this is not a good time to approach him .\ntheir reaction has been chronicled endlessly , filling a new chapter in the gallo legend : they hooted and hollered ; roger ebert afterward called the movie the worst in the festival ' s history . mr . gallo later called mr . ebert a ' ' fat pig ' ' and said that with the help of the filmmaker kenneth anger he had put a curse on the critic ' s prostate or maybe his colon . mr . ebert responded that he had enjoyed watching a video of his own colonoscopy more than ' ' the brown bunny . ' '\n\u201ci felt like , on a certain level , he wanted to remove himself from calling [ the brown bunny ] the worst film ever made , \u201d gallo told the a . v . club in 2004 . \u201cand the new version gave him an opportunity , because it was different from when he saw it . so he could say , \u2018the film got a lot better . you made some really important changes . \u2019 the truth is , those changes could not possibly take the film from that extreme to another extreme . it just couldn\u2019t . \u201d\nwe might only imagine how peeved some republicans are that vincent gallo has named himself one of them . the former calvin klein model and recent guest star in jay - z and mark romanek ' s music video ,\n99 problems ,\nmade something of a hubbub in may when his second film , the brown bunny , screened at cannes , to catcalls and walkouts , and roger ebert ' s much - quoted declaration that it was the\nworst film in the history of the festival .\nvincent gallo ' s self - indulgent experiment that succeeds on some levels and fails on others . controversial because of the\nreal\nsex scenes , the brown bunny has limited mainstream appeal and a growing cult following . the problem here is that gallo has about 30 minutes of good material and about 90 minutes of screen time to fill . characters take literally minutes to say two or three words . the end result is a film that ' s sometimes interesting and often excruciating .\nbunny continued to tour and record , and also worked as a producer and arranger . he toured with \u201celectric avenue\u201d and \u201cliving on the frontline\u201d star , eddie grant as well as on solo concerts . in 2003 , bunny was offered a production deal by sir coxsone dodd of studio one and returned to jamaica ( moving from atlanta his base for some years and where he introduced reggae to rapper \u201clittle john\u201d ) to record the album , \u201cready for the world\u201d .\nmr . ebert , who pointed out that he\u2019d recently lost 30 pounds , then looked up his reviews of mr . gallo\u2019s acting performances and said he\u2019d never given him a bad review until the brown bunny . \u201ci look forward to giving him another review , \u201d mr . ebert said . \u201che\u2019s a good actor , and as a director he\u2019s batting . 500 right now . lots of directors don\u2019t do that well . \u201d\nfor all his speed on wheels , bud can ' t move beyond the past .\nthe brown bunny\nopens with a motorcycle race emblematic of bud ' s emotional stagnation : round and round he goes across the same terrain , only to lose in the final lap . later , during his drive toward los angeles , he tries to outrun his memories by riding to the vanishing point - - only to turn around and come back . he ' s a loser , but he can ' t lose himself .\nthe list of films that have been booed at the cannes film festival is long and illustrious : inglourious basterds , twin peaks : fire walk with me , antichrist , the brown bunny , the tree of lif e and even martin scorsese ' s taxi driver , which was jeered when it won the festival ' s palme d ' or in 1976 . now you can add nicholas winding refn ' s the neon demon to that list , which premiered to a chorus of \u201cresounding boos\u201d following its premiere at the festival on thursday . now i want to see it more .\ni can\u2019t help but wonder what would\u2019ve happened to gallo\u2019s career if ebert had been a little more charitable early on to such an obviously deliberate , uncompromising film . make no mistake : i don\u2019t blame ebert for the implosion of gallo\u2019s career . gallo is a narcissist , and ebert calling the brown bunny the worst film to play cannes fed that narcissism . it encouraged gallo to embrace the worst , most bombastic sides of himself in the press , which ran contrary to ( and played a primary role in suffocating ) the slow , meandering movie he made .\nhowever , he also had a dancehall / rockers edge that was best exemplified by the album bunny wailer sings the wailers in which he re - interprets some of the wailers material as a solo roots singer backed by a solid sly & robbie based roots reggae grouping . the album produced by bunny wailer , was recorded at harry j studio . some of these tracks are re - worked classic wailers tracks ( e . g .\ndreamland\n\u2014 a cover of el tempos '\nmy dream island\nwith slightly reworked lyrics that became bunny ' s signature song . this was first recorded in 1966 by clement coxsone dodd , and later in 1970 with lee\nscratch\nperry , then , released as a 7\nin 1971 with a u - roy version on the b - side ) . another classic is\ndancing shoes\n, first recorded in the mid - 1960s as a driving ska / soul classic with bunny wailer as lead vocal .\nit ' s the kind of question mr . gallo has been wrestling with over the last year or so , since his second movie , ' ' the brown bunny , ' ' had its premiere at the 2003 cannes film festival . he says the movie - - which is finally being released , on aug . 27 , in new york and los angeles - - is ' ' the most beautiful thing i ' ve ever done in my life . ' ' but during a now - notorious press screening at cannes , viewers found little beauty in it .\nbing bunny is a very special project for us here in brown bag films ; we helped develop and design bing\u2019s supporting cast in the early development stages , and are now in full swing of episodic production . working with acamar and tandem has been a thoroughly collaborative and rewarding endeavor . to bring bing to the screen , we are utilizing high end cg and have an incredibly talented and committed team putting their extensive experience into creating a series we believe bing\u2019s audience will truly love .\n\u00b7 it has never happened before , and we may have to wait another 40 years for it to happen again . vincent gallo , the outrageous actor - director who fired both winona ryder and kirsten dunst before they even stepped onto the set of his film brown bunny , has apologised . not to them obviously , nor to christina ricci , anjelica huston and just about everyone else he has worked with in hollywood whom he insulted in the space of one , short press conference - but to the critics for his interminable film .\nfaithful readers will know that i admire long takes , especially by ozu , that i hunger for non - classical structure , and that i have absolutely nothing against sex in the cinema . in quoting my line about one day being thin , chambers might in fairness have explained that i was responding to gallo calling me a\nfat pig\n- - and , for that matter , since i made that statement i have lost 86 pounds and gallo is indeed still the director of\nthe brown bunny .\nnot surprisingly , the film immediately acquired a sort of cult cachet . it became the rocky horror bunny show . since then , gallo , best known for his self - made indie\nbuffalo ' 66 ,\nhas shaved off a good half - hour from the movie . there was a heck of a lot of driving in the original . and a large number of self - absorbed shots of gallo in this virtually one - character movie . now there ' s just a lot of driving , and the plot gets to its points quicker . it ' s hard to say if\nthe brown bunny\nis any better . but it does roll by faster . the result : a strangely watchable oddity , whose deeper mysteries are known only to gallo , who wrote , directed , edited , produced and even co - filmed the indie film .\nwhether this payoff is enough for viewers to appreciate the brown bunny is questionable . but it certainly was ample for me to give it a recommendation . gallo effectively introduces a complicated character that certainly has his demons . his film style of deliberately misframing shots and using real - time sequences are deliberate attempts to depart from conventional filmmaking . indeed , his boldness is certainly punctuated when he captures sevigny actually performing felacio on him ( one sneaky audience member even took a still shot of the act ) ."]}

drained and aerated soils with a healthy population of microbes can accelerate the metabolic decomposition of juglone . where sensitive plants may survive outside of the canopy of a black walnut , highly sensitive plants may not tolerate small concentrations where decaying roots from a removed tree may still be releasing juglone . juglone toxicity may persist for years after a tree is removed . so , impatience in replanting an area with juglone -

heroic that it seems even a socialist society cannot redeem the man : quite an ornery vision in a cinema marked by utopian plots . fresh out of prison , egor seeks a\nholiday for the soul .\nhe is hungry for the excitement of the city , but he is not nourished by what it offers . egor ' s only recourse is to travel to a small village where lyuba ( lydia fedoseyeva ) awaits him . there , in the pure russian countryside , away from the corrupting force of the city , he will regain his morality and faith . the vast birch forests of the steppes , where he walks among the slender trees calling them his\nbrides ,\noffer him a poignant but temporary escape , for soon his cohorts in crime come to pay their respects . shukshin plays his anti - hero with the flinty bitterness of a man who cannot find volia , the old - fashioned russian word for freedom . it is not to be found in the drunken revelry of the criminal life , nor in the virtuous monotony of official kolkhoz work . but the film is by no means all gloom . there is a fortuitous store of humor uncovered as the tough city rogue mingles with simple peasants . richard pe\u00f1a observes :\none of the very few soviet films to deal with a ' social deviant ' -

- and it shows .\nthe death and life of bobby z\nis a story that goes where it wants when it wants at a furious pace . the setup for the story is fairly simple . a big - time loser of a prison inmate kills another inmate in order to prevent the same thing from happening to him . as it happens , he resembles the notorious drug dealer bobby z . so the feds offer him a deal . they want to trade the dealer to a mexican drug kingpin in exchange for an agent , but bobby z happens to be dead . so if the loser will take the place of bobby z , they ' ll trade him and let him fend for himself . but the real bobby z , it turns out , has fathered a child , whom the imposter bobby z takes under his wing while fleeing from just about everybody and fleeing across mexico and california . one of the most compelling aspects of\nthe death and life of bobby z\nis the style in which winslow writes . the novel is almost conversational , and winslow includes liberal doses of california surfer and mexican jargon . to his credit , winslow aptly pulls off what could have been an abysmal experiment . the style works with the plot to make this novel one of the fastest reads in a long time . on an unrelated note , there is a don winslow who writes what can politely be called\nerotic\nnovels . these are two entirely different people . the winslow who wrote\nthe death and life of bobby z\nis the author of the neal carey series (\nthe trail to buddha ' s mirror ,\na cool breeze on the underground ,\netc . ) . in addition , he wrote\na winter spy\nunder the name mcdonald lloyd .\nbobby z . and keyboardist brown mark left the revolution along with wendy and lisa . dr . fink stayed on until 1991 . the full group hasn\u2019t performed together since 1986 .\nbobby t k yim email address : bobby @ urltoken office room no . : 4161a office phone no . : 2358 -

of - the - mill crazy cat person when his pet parrot polynesia remarked that animals are capable of talking to one another , with each species conversing in a distinct language . dolittle re - dedicated his life to learning every animal language he could . over the years , he has amassed a repertoire of some 497 such languages ( with matthew proposing they have a party when he reaches 500 ) .\nwhile treating the island animals , dolittle is surprised by the arrival of the great pink sea snail , also suffering from a cold due to the island\u2019s wanderings . the snail offers to give matthew , tommy , and emma a ride back home ( the doctor has opted to stay on the island to continue his studies of the plentiful wildlife ) . emma objects to this , as she has developed feelings for the doctor , resulting in an awkward love - triangle in which the oddly sexless rex harrison doesn\u2019t really belong . before it can get too awkward , however , dolittle succeeds in shooing his friends back to england .\nan important distinguishing factor in this film is the nature of animal communication . yes , doctor dolittle can speak to animals , but are they speaking to him ? this issue is one discussed in a review by charles taylor on salon . com , in which he says : , ' he ' s the man who discovers animals talk to him , which makes his life crazy ' . whereas many films , born free for example , present humans dominantly invading animal territory , this films shows the opposite . the animals seek out dolittle and engage with him . they are the power behind the plot and the humans follow their lead . the dvd sleeve reiterates this , displaying dolittle listening to the animals , not speaking to them .\nmusical numbers : \u201cmy friend the doctor , \u201d \u201cthe vegetarian , \u201d \u201ctalk to the animals , \u201d \u201cdoctor dolittle , \u201d \u201cyou\u2019re impossible , \u201d \u201ci\u2019ve never seen anything like it , \u201d \u201cbeautiful things , \u201d \u201cwhen i look into your eyes , \u201d \u201clike animals , \u201d \u201cafter today , \u201d \u201cfabulous places , \u201d \u201cwhere are the words ? , \u201d \u201ci think i like you , \u201d \u201csave the animals , \u201d \u201csomething in your smile , \u201d \u201cthe voice of protest . \u201d\nat 32 %\nfresh\n, this is the film with the lowest rotten tomatoes score to get a best picture oscar nomination .\narthur p . jacobs tried to get the sherman brothers to write songs for the film , but they were tied to walt disney .\n\u2026as a circus owner in doctor dolittle ( 1967 ) . after a lengthy acting hiatus , he returned to the screen in american director steven spielberg\u2019s jurassic park ( 1993 ) , playing the obliviously hubristic owner of a dinosaur theme park , a role he reprised in the 1997 sequel . he then played kris kringle in\u2026\nmaya dolittle , who can talk to animals like her father , is placed on special assignment by the president of the united states of america .\n\u201ciron man\u201d star robert downey jr . will be playing the lead role in the upcoming \u201cthe voyage of dr . dolittle\u201d ( via variety ) .\nthe film , which starred rex harrison and was a musical , was not well received at the time , but was nominated for an oscar for best picture and won for best original song and visual effects . another dr . dolittle pic was released in 1998 and starred eddie murphy in the titular role . the fox film was a success and resulted in four sequels , although several went direct -

loving philanthropist leads him to meet a plethora of animals , all with their own highly developed identities and whose influence unites his somewhat disconnected family . the animals are given the most influential position in the film : even the narrator is a dog ! dolittle ' s gift initially lands him in a mental institution , but this family film works hard to prove that , as eddie murphy professes as the credits start to roll :\nit ' s not a big thing ; we ' re all basically the same\n.\nlike bonnie and clyde , but don\u2019t consider it a landmark film . the ny times critic was not wrong to point out that a moronic gang is turned into something full of fun and frolic like thoroughly modern millie . entertaining , yet a sentimental film and anything but hard edged .\nthen there is the ending . blasted by bosley crowther , but hailed by so many now , it\u2019s surprising how quickly it is all over . it is one of the finest made scenes in all of film history and dede allen should have won the oscar for that scene alone ( that doctor dolittle was nominated and allen was not is one of the worst mistakes the academy ever made ) . that scene alone justifies the nighthawk awards for editing , cinematography , sound , visual effects , sound editing and makeup . i struggle to think of any scene of pure violence that matches it for pure poetical expression on film .\nall goes swimmingly until the doctor takes pity on a circus seal named sophie . sophie claims to be homesick and to \u201cmiss her husband , \u201d a seal still at large in the wild . dolittle dresses sophie in women\u2019s clothing to smuggle her out of the circus , then pauses to sing a touching love ballad before hurling her off a cliff into the ocean . nearby farmers see the doc throwing what appears to be a woman\u2019s body into the sea , and dolittle is arrested for murder .\ncopyright \u00a9 2005 -

i\u2019m not interested in being the oddball again this week but i enjoy brain - nomming stories . * shrug * however , being that summers\nhowever , i was ultimately unsatisfied . i didn\u2019t really connect to the characters . i was curious about what would go down , but not affected by any of it . i felt very disconnected to sloane , who is disconnected to herself in many ways . sloane is just as messed up ( if not more ) than any other of summers protagonists : abused , broken , closed - up , suicidal , distanced from other characters .\nthe last chapter was just as intense as the first . i was feverishly turning the pages wanting to know what was going to happen next . this chapter was action packed and seemed to fly by so quickly my head was spinning at the end . i am so happy about sloane ' s personal ending\nthroughout most of her career as the slayer , buffy functioned as a reluctant hero . she constantly wished for nothing more than a normal life , an attitude that was particularly prevalent during her high school years . however , as time moved on , buffy slowly became more accepting of her slayer duties , particularly after kendra helped her to understand that being the slayer was part of who she was and not simply a burden forced upon her shoulders against her will . after her meeting with the first slayer and battle with dracula , buffy finally came to terms with her role as the slayer . despite her ever - present reluctance to be the slayer even in her later years , buffy has been depicted as having an incredibly strong sense of responsibility with the people she saved and the world as well . this was shown in her disagreements over faith\u2019s impulsive and careless attitude and her self - righteous stance on many other things .\nother important relationships of buffy\u2019s have included pike , parker , riley finn , and satsu . pike was her friend and love interest when she first began her journey as the slayer , but the pair broke up before she moved to sunnydale . in college , she dated riley in the hopes of having a \u201cnormal\u201d relationship , only to discover he was an initiative soldier . satsu was buffy\u2019s fellow slayer , as well as her first and only same - sex liaison\nhe\u2019s constantly hot headed , but the only reason he\u2019s not lashing out as much is because he still has his twin sister grace . grace , despite just\nbuffy then led her classmates in a climactic battle against the ascended mayor and his minions , which culminated in an explosion that destroyed the mayor as well as sunnydale high school . after the smoke cleared , angel left for los angeles so that buffy could try to have a more normal life without him . [ 45 ]\nbuffy became a supernatural consultant to sfpd , working alongside spike and dowling . she assisted in jean anthony \u2019 case , who was attacked by an incubus . this made buffy revisit spike\u2019 attempt rape , as well as many difficulties through her life , and the couple finally talked and came to terms about their turbulent past . [ 139 ]\nbuffy anne summers was a slayer that was activated in the late 20th century . born on january 19 1981 , she was called to be the slayer in 1996 at the age of fifteen . buffy was originally living in los angeles ; but , due to an incident involving a gang of vampires at hemery high school , she moved to sunnydale with her mother . there , she acted as guardian of the hellmouth for seven years before the town\u2019s destruction in mid - 2003 . initially a reluctant hero who constantly wished for nothing more than a normal life , buffy eventually grew to embrace her destiny . buffy is unique as a slayer in many ways ; she refuses to sacrifice her ordinary life for her supernatural destiny , often operates as part of a team with her friends the scooby gang , and has maintained several romantic relationships , two of which were with notorious vampires angel and spike .\nas the mayor relied on faith to help him prepare for his ascension , buffy worked first to thwart his plans , then to organize a resistance . faith impeded these efforts by\nbuffy\u2019s relationship with riley slowly began deteriorate as she repeatedly failed to give him the emotional intimacy he craved . riley began visiting a vampire brothel where he would allow vampires to bite him ; when buffy discovered this as a result of spike\u2019s interference , she destroyed the brothel and confronted riley , after which he left her and returned to the military . [ 64 ] buffy dealt with riley\u2019s departure as best as she could , but remained emotionally sensitive . buffy\u2019s pain over having had two failed relationships caused her to take an interest in ben wilkinson , a handsome medic . however , an encounter with the love - struck robot girlfriend of one of her former sunnydale high classmate warren mears made hers realize that she was overly dependent on men and decided she needed to be by herself for a while . this proved to be greatly fortunate as ben was secretly glory\u2019s human vessel . [ 65 ]\ni don ' t know how i ' m going to do this , move through the hours like someone who wants to still be breathing when i had so firmly made up my mind to stop . wow . this little book has completely floored me . i was not expecting something so deep , so very melancholic yet shot through with the irrepressible human need to hope . not just irrepressible , summers shows us that hope is irreducible . stripped to its basest core , hope just might be the evolutionary urge that has kept us going as a species for\nif counting archive footage as an appearance , buffy , cordelia and angel are the only characters that appear in both the first and final seasons of buffy the vampire slayer and angel .\ni feel as happy reading a book all day as i am happy staying all afternoon with a dear friend . i could tell you 11 / 02 was a normal day , that i went to college , talked to friends , drank coffee , studied a little , played just dance and slept . but what i will remember of today is this wonderful book .\n3 - 1 / 2 stars , rounded up . but i ' m really not sure how to rate this book . as everyone probably already knows , this is courtney summers ' zombie book , and on the surface it ' s got the familiar elements : zombie apocalypse occurs , nearly everyone is infected almost immediately , small bands of survivors hole up and hope for the best while knowing they ' re probably going to meet their doom . sloane price is one of those survivors . by sheer accident , she ' s fallen in with a group of five students who make it\nshe and her friends were able to move to a haunted building in tenderloin , with discount on their rent after exorcising the place . [ 136 ] buffy shared the apartment with willow and dawn , while neighbors to xander and spike\u2019s , as well as giles\u2019 apartment . both in a better place than their previous encounters , buffy and spike began a relationship . [ 137 ]\nmeanwhile , a younger sister , dawn , had mysteriously appeared in the summers\u2019 household ; her existence had been seamlessly integrated into the memories of all those she had ever known . [ 61 ] after casting a spell on herself in the hopes of discovering the mystical source of an illness she believed her mother was blighted by , buffy discovered that dawn was not her sister at all , but rather a ball of magical energy known as the key capable of opening interdimensional portals . a group of monks had influenced the key to take human shape in order to protect it from a mentally unstable higher power known as glorificus ; they had chosen to put the key in the slayer\u2019s care , as a sister , in the hopes that she would protect it with her life . though buffy was understandably skeptical of dawn when she learned that she had been fabricated and integrated into her life without her prior knowledge , she quickly came to accept her responsibility as dawn\u2019s protector , not because she felt obliged to carry out the monks\u2019 wishes , but because she slowly realized that she truly did love her sister , regardless of the circumstances of her existence . [ 62 ]\nharrowing . i sincerely never thought that i could ever be so fascinated by a zombie post - apocalyptic story before , but there\u2019s a first to everything , isn\u2019t there ? however , it\u2019s definitely more focused on the psychological elements than the world - building , since it underlines the theme of survival and how precious and fragile life is . courtney summers , you\u2019re writing terribly tearful stories . please don\u2019t stop .\nhello ! we have selected english as your language preference . if you would like to browse in a different language , please choose a language using the dropdown . deutsch english espa\u00f1ol fran\u00e7ais italiano \u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\nhaving moved back in with dawn and xander , she realized that she had recognized this strong vampire that had bested her but could not remember where she had seen her before . buffy hangs out with dowling and billy as well as xander and dawn , seeming to be somewhat happy that she had finally managed some semblance of an average night . however , she was ripped away from it just as quickly and teleported to the magic council , courtesy of none other than the old one , illyria . she abruptly forced her to join this council , much to buffy\u2019s great confusion and indignation .

[ 67 ] in order to fully take up her role as dawn\u2019s legal guardian , buffy was forced to drop out of college , though she faced difficulties as a result of dawn\u2019s increasingly rebellious behavior . [ 68 ]\nas she grew up , she came to idolize olympic ice skater dorothy hamill , and practiced the sport herself . [ 14 ] her father took her for trick - or - treating until she was twelve . [ 15 ]\ncurrently there is also ' ' please remain calm ' ' which is marked as ' ' this is not a test 1 . 5 ' ' and only has 96 pages . it is the continuity of book one , \u2026more\ni think it was interesting to read about a zombie apocalypse through the eyes of someone who wants to die . this book is written so beautifully and at times it made me want to cry . i love how each of the five teenagers all had their own stories and their own things to contribute to the story . i liked the brother and sister relationship between grace and trace , and seeing how that affected their decisions . i also absolutely adore rhys , and i totally ship him and sloane so hard . they had some really cute scenes in this book that made me smile .\nbuffy was aided in the battle against hus by angel , who had returned to sunnydale without her knowledge . when xander accidentally revealed that angel had reappeared , buffy immediately traveled to los angeles to confront him as she was hurt that he had spoken to everyone but her . buffy and angel agreed to remain apart ; just as she was about to leave , they were attacked by a mohra demon . they tracked the demon down into the sewers and succeeded in wounding it before it escaped . the demon\u2019s blood had mixed with angel\u2019s during the confrontation , causing him to become human again . buffy and angel reveled in finally being able to be together , but angel soon discovered that the powers that be had not yet offered him redemption . when angel was almost killed by the regenerated mohra demon , buffy managed to slay it . after angel discovered that buffy would die much sooner if he remained human , angel had the the oracles rewind time to reverse his transformation into a human . buffy was left with no memory of the incident . [ 50 ]\nbuffy briefly joined forces with the initiative , but her relentless questioning of the organization\u2019s motives , as well as her relationship with riley , began to unsettle professor maggie walsh , who tried to have her killed in action . [ 52 ] walsh was subsequently murdered by a creature of her own creation , the monstrous half - human / half - demon cyborg , adam , who then escaped and began his plan to create an army of super soldiers like him . [ 53 ]\nthis story has a lot going on for how short it is , but it never feels cluttered . we know that sloane was abandoned by her sister , lily , but the details of what was supposed to happen and how that has affected her come out slowly throughout the book . the main focus of this book is each person ' s will to live . lily was all sloane had left so once she left her she has none . sloane wants desperately to just die . i thought the author wrote this very well . we can feel sloane ' s desperation and hopelessness , but she never seems emo .\nset in a sleepy southern louisiana town in 1959 , a lawyer , searches for justice as he volunteers to help a black woman whose property is being threatened by the holts , the first family of the town , after she refuses to sell her valuable land . nobody thinks willie can win the case , but behind its polite facade , the town is waiting to explode , as willie enlists the aid of eccentric hannah loftin and her niece , whitsey , relatives of the holts .\nbuffy and the others went to santa rosita to deal with the last zompires , and was assisted by vicki and a group of a new breed of vampires , discovering the consequence from the return of magic . as soon as the zompires were extinguished , the vampires turned against the slayer . the scooby gang then counted on the sudden assistance of deepscan , with kennedy , faith , leah , holly , and giles , who revealed himself resurrected in an emotional reunion . [ 134 ]\nthere comes a time in everyone ' s life when we finally\nwake up\nand figure out that we don ' t need to be a product of our screwed up past . for some , it takes months , for other ' s it takes years ( i should know ) . if you don ' t come to this realization , there are consequences . . . for some drugs , for others . . suicide , or other forms of escape . sloane wants to die . not because of the zombies . before there were zombies , there was a scarier monster in sloane ' s life . she was being abused by her dad , and was abandoned by her sister . sloane lives through the initial zombie attack but still wants to die . this story is about sloane , and the journey she takes , and the decisions she makes . she has the perfect weapon to kill herself , just walk outside and she ' ll be bitten . so why doesn ' t she do it ? or does she ? some people don ' t ever wake up , maybe this is sloane and maybe not . very emotional read for me , maybe because i can relate but i think even without it being personal to me , it was a great story .\nto give summers credit , this is one of the more remarkable first - person stories i ' ve read in awhile . traumatized for years , forced into a controlled shell of a person by her survival strategies , sloan is conflicted between acknowledging her emotions and staying safe in her fatalistic landscape . and what an idea - - take a zombie / apocalypse story with a narrator who doesn ' t want to survive , but has just enough conscientiousness that she doesn ' t want to pull anyone into her death with her .\nbuffy\u2019s individualistic and rebellious tendencies culminated into developing an extreme distaste of being manipulated and\nlosing control\n, [ 148 ] particularly when it revolved around her life . this was made most apparent in her initial request to have the monks erase her false memories of dawn , [ 62 ] her forced destiny as the slayer , her brief loss of her abilities through giles\u2019 betrayal , [ 40 ] her rejection of twilight , [ 149 ] anger over angel \u2019s decision to keep his presence hidden while in sunnydale , [ 49 ] as well as deciding to turn himself into a vampire again without her knowledge . [ 50 ] kendra , who had been trained as a slayer from early childhood , told buffy that a slayer did not have the luxury of emotions . buffy responded that her emotions gave her power and she considered them\ntotal assets\n. [ 30 ] spike once stated that buffy\u2019s improvisational fighting style was much like that of nikki wood , the second slayer he killed . [ 150 ]\nwere originally in the running for the role of buffy in 1996 . holmes was joss\u2019s first choice for buffy but she was turned down as she was deemed too young for the role . many others who auditioned for buffy instead got other roles , including\nas the senior prom was closing in , buffy expressed excitement in having her prefect high school experience with angel as her date . however , realizing he could never give her a normal life , angel broke up with buffy the day before . despite being extremely saddened , buffy still made it her duty that she and her friends enjoy themselves at the event . she went forth and killed a group of mind - controlled hellhounds released by a dateless nerd before attending prom dressed in formal wear . to her surprise , she was presented with an award , acknowledging the countless times she saved the student body . just as it couldn\u2019t get better , angel arrived in a tuxedo , not wanting to take her back but give her the slow dance she desired . [ 43 ]\nafter the explosive events of her high school graduation , buffy experienced difficulties adjusting to life as a college freshman at u . c . sunnydale . she was injured during an encounter with a group of on - campus vampires , [ 46 ] and came off as unstable to her friends when she suspected her overly compulsive roommate to be demon ( which she was eventually proven correct in her assumption ) and she began rooming with willow after kathy\u2019s departure . [ 47 ] her troubles were only worsened by angel \u2019s recent departure . she sought comfort with fellow student parker abrams , and slept with him only a few weeks after meeting him . he then brushed her off as a one - night stand despite making her believe that this was the start of a new relationship .\n) because that ' s the reason i have read this one . i loved it with all my heart and i never read a book like this one . it is sad and heartbreaking but mesmerizing and captivating as well . i recommend this a lot !\nthere comes a time in everyone ' s life when we finally\nwake up\nand figure out that we don ' t need to be a product of our screwed up past . for some , it takes months , for other ' s it takes years ( i should know ) . if you don ' t come to this realization , there are consequences . . . for some drugs , for others . . suicide , or other forms of escape . sloane wants to die . not because of the zombies . before there were zombies , there was a scarier monster in sloane ' s life . she was being abused by her dad , and was\nnow is not about gathering courage , it ' s about staying one step ahead of my fear .\noh my goodness gracious ! what did i just read ? ? ? i have this basic concept about how any story that has to do with zombies is old and funny . sorry i don\u2019t watch walking dead . but i am now completely eradicating that concept from my mind because of this dark but masterfully written prose . this is my first courtney summers read and i am instantly and immediately captivated by the unique writing style via her use of\ni get the hype . this is not a test reminded me of lord of the flies meets the walking dead - - the first season when you ' re actually cheering for the humans and not the zombies - - with a dash of the breakfast club . not only was this my first courtney summers book , this was also my first zombie book . verdict ? i ' d like more of both please . sloane , a physically and emotionally abused girl , finds herself barricaded inside her high school along with five other students . while they know each other , they\n\u201cyou should use it , \u201d my roommate tells me . she\u2019s an astute , outspoken woman in her early 30s who works as a journalist for one of mexico\u2019s most well - known liberal magazines . \u201cit\u2019s meant to get rid of or prevent infections , \u201d she said .\ncurrently there is also ' ' please remain calm ' ' which is marked as ' ' this is not a test 1 . 5 ' ' and only has 96 pages . it is the continuity of book one , but from rhys ' perspective this time . ( less )\nupon learning that if she were to continue being invisible her molecule structure would break down , buffy sought to stop the trio and made herself visible , not wanting to die despite her current grime state of life . the trio\u2019s scheme\u2019s finally reached breaking point when their leader , warren mears , accidentally killed his ex - girlfriend katrina after a mystical date - rape attempt . with the use of jonathan levinson \u2019s magicks and andrew wells \u2019s demon summoning , he manipulated events to make buffy think she killed katrina . convinced , buffy was ready to confess to the police , although this was thwarted when spike dumped the body to save her . in an encounter of grief and denial in her relationship with spike , buffy beat him severely . luckily for her , buffy discovered that she wasn\u2019t actually the perpetrator of the crime and the death was ruled as a suicide ; nonetheless , buffy realized that the trio were becoming too dangerous for her to ignore and resolved to bring them to justice . [ 75 ]\nin the ensuing fight , severin told buffy that he had to kill all those vampires because buffy destroyed the seed and that she didn\u2019t deserve her power . eventually , severin overpowered buffy and began to drain her powers , as well as spike\u2019s when he arrived to help her , but just before he could drain the two completely , detective dowling , having been anonymously tipped off , arrived and made the save by shooting severin four times in the chest . having discovered that severin was the real culprit , buffy was subsequently cleared of all charges . [ 115 ]\nit only took me a few pages to remember how much i love summers ' unique style of writing : punchy , direct , achey , intense . minimal words conveying maximum impact . it took me only one chapter to be hooked . by the end of chapter one , i needed to read chapter two . by the end of chapter two , i needed to read chapter three . by the end of \u2026 and so on . this is not a test is compulsively readable . tightly plotted . intense . addictive . the drama in the pages never seems melodramatic , in spite of the premise .\nmystical protection \u2014 after becoming leader to the activated slayers , xander commented that buffy had some degree of mystical protection over her now , at least while she slept . to that end , her protection meant even daggers split apart so as not to pierce her skin . [ 191 ]\nthough she was normally quite aware socially , buffy had proven to have a few lapses in judgment that cost her and others as well . her destructive relationship with spike , for example , was attributed to her own feelings of vulnerability , self - loathing , and unworthiness after the death of her mother as well as her abrupt descent from heaven . despite her powerful sense of responsibility , when in a state of depression or ill humor , she had been shown to procrastinate and put off or otherwise ignore things she should be dealing with . this was most prominently seen in her exile out of heaven , ignoring her role as guardian of dawn and forcing giles to both take care of her [ 158 ] and pay the bills she couldn\u2019t afford . [ 159 ] another example was when she had smashed the seed of wonder and remained indifferent over willow\u2019s pleas of returning magic , hardly thinking of the consequences of the action because she did what she had to do ; in this case , she was finally forced to face the negative consequences of the seed\u2019s destruction when she discovered that without magic , dawn was fading away . [ 160 ]\nthere are ' breakfast club ' moments where the teens bond as they linger in the school , hoping for rescue , but the infighting is wearing them down . one of the underlying themes is the loss of family , their coping , and whether or not the survivors create their own .\ni honestly don ' t know what to review . thank to may , i ' m officially courtney summers trash . this book is not about zombies , why they mutated , finding a cure , or having some badass fighting scenes with them . it just has zombies in them . this book is about survival , difficult decisions , loss and heartbreak . this is the second book i ' ve read by courtney summers and i wasn ' t dissapointed . her first book i read was a realisitic contemporary about rape and bullying and this book is totally different from that . whenever i think of reading some zombie novel , i ' m always like\noh there ' s going to be some fucking zombies , people are going to fight them and they will survive ! yay ,\nbut this book was nothing like that . i was able to feel emotion while reading this . i was able to feel the panic . i was able to feel their loss . i was able to feel their fear . i was able to feel their need to make it out alive . i was able to feel what they felt . and that says a lot because i ' m a heartless bitch . take all the goddamn stars .\n4 1 / 2 stars because i\u2019m a fancy creative post writer , i thought i\u2019d start this off with a quote from someone whose opinion i really trust : \u201c can you imagine what she ' s going to do with zombie survival ? ! ! i bet it ' s going to be gruesome . : d \u201d you know what ? i really do love the sound of my own voice . you are so , so right , me of approximately five months ago . of course , this is courtney summers so the \u201cgruesome\u201d part of this book doesn\u2019t arrive with the zombie apocalypse ; it takes place within the grasp\n4 . 5 i owe a huge thanks to courtney summers for giving me a second chance to read and review this after my netgalley rejection . it made my day and i ' m so glad this is not a test was all that i ' d hoped it would be . i ' m going to say what i said at the start of my reviews or before i started reading : feed , the forest of hands and teeth , the other life and even the one i was sure would be the exception to the rule - the reapers are the angels , and that is that zombie novels have never been my thing .\nthat ' s the best description of sloane . but while grace admires her ( as noted in the quote above ) , sloane admires grace , harrison admires trace and it goes on and on . they are just trying to survive the best way they can . they are in a supposedly safe place\nbuffy\u2019s parents , who had been experiencing marital troubles for years , finally divorced , and buffy moved with her mother to 1630 revello drive in sunnydale , a small town in california . little did they know that the town was located on a hellmouth , and that buffy\u2019s presence there was predestined . buffy enrolled at sunnydale high where she became friends with xander harris and willow rosenberg as well as meeting her new watcher , rupert giles . she also met cordelia chase , a superficial cheerleader reminiscent of buffy before she became the slayer , and angel , a mysterious and handsome stranger who aided buffy with cryptic advice . [ 22 ] buffy at first rejected her slayer duties in favor of a normal life , but was forced into action to stop the vampire ritual known as the harvest by the order of aurelius , a vampire cult under the rule of ancient and power vampire the master , who was trapped underground in sunnydale .\nbuffy gradually developed an attraction to angel , and was horrified when she came to realize that he was a vampire . though initially reluctant to slay him , she ultimately decided to do so when it appeared that angel had attacked her mother . she relented upon discovering that he had a human soul as a result of being cursed by a gypsy clan as punishment for his vicious crimes . additionally , she found out that angel had in fact been set up by the vampire darla of the order of aurelius , angel\u2019s sire and joyce\u2019s true attacker , who was staked by angel in the ensuing confrontation . [ 25 ]\nwhat an outstanding . . . . odd book . to be honest , i ' m not even sure how to rate it . on the one hand , i just want to praise it , recommend it , tell you it ' s amazing and give it 5 stars . on the other hand , the aspect i didn ' t like is so macroscopic that i can ' t give it what it theoretically deserves . this is the first book by courtney summers that i have read but rest assured i will soon get my hands on her other ones - one i actually already own , cracked up to be . there ' s something really powerful in\nif i could give this book more than 5 stars , i would . when my brother asked me what i did today , i told him i started this amazing book at 4 p . m and finished it 10 minutes ago and that today was a perfect day . i feel as happy reading a book all day as i am happy staying all afternoon with a dear friend . i could tell you 11 / 02 was a normal day , that i went to college , talked to friends , drank coffee , studied a little , played just dance and slept . but what i will remember of today is this wonderfu\nreturning to san francisco , the scoobies discovered the new magic of this world was still undefined , with buffy\u2019s allies learning that they could write new rules for magic in the vampyr book , such as preventing the vampires from using their new powers in daylight , or clem making unicorns real for harmony . [ 135 ]\nbuffy returned home , only to discover that xander and dawn were at the hospital . arriving there , illyria noted that mystical energy was leaving dawn\u2019s body , continuing on to explain that mystical energy was used to hold the body together and without it , she would die . later at andrew\u2019s , xander admitted he blamed buffy for this . she explained that she had to destroy the seed , but then he blamed her for sleeping with angel and creating all of this . despite her attempts to explain , xander didn\u2019t listen . guilty and miserable , buffy insisted that dawn was still her sister and she would do anything she could to help her . [ 128 ] willow then reappeared in san francisco , and , for much of her relief , buffy realized that the witch had managed to regain her magic . [ 110 ]\n\u201ci use it because i\u2019m afraid of getting an infection or some kind of disease , because i\u2019m dating a few different people right now , \u201d says daniela . two friends told me they use it just because they like the \u201cclean feeling . \u201d which made me curious as to what , exactly , that feeling was .\nset in a sleepy southern louisiana town in 1959 , a lawyer , searches for justice as he volunteers to help a black woman whose property is being threatened by the holts , the first family of the town , after she refuses to sell her valuable land . nobody thinks willie can win the case , but behind its po\nwhen someone sees a zombie book there are two reactions : 1 ) oh zombies , scary and gory ! awesomesauce ! or 2 ) ewww zombies ! icky ! - pass . so this is a warning : as far as zombie books go , this is not a test has to be one of the tamest . it ' s not gory , nor is it an adrenaline filled story . yes there are zombies and it can get intense at times , but funnily enough , it is not about the zombies . it ' s about a girl who doesn ' t want to live in this world anymore . she can ' t keep going with a dad that beats h"]}

series . it is slightly too slow and it concentrates too much on close up shots of characters or faces , and . . .\nlater , her films covered more political and social issues , beginning with incident at restigouche ( 1984 ) , a film about the two controversial raids by a battalion of 550 quebec provincial police of a small mi ' kmaq reserve on the restigouche river . the reason given for the raids was that the quebec ministry of fisheries needed to investigate alleged salmon overfishing on the reserve . this film was an important one for alanis because it was one of the first to demonstrate her strength of character . gittings calls alanis ' confrontation of the then quebec minister of fisheries , lucien lessard , one of the\nstrongest scenes\nof any documentary film because she points out the\nhypocrisy and short - sightedness of his position on national sovereignty\n:\nobomsawin traces the cycle of life from birth to childhood , puberty , young adulthood , maturity , and old age , through introducing the viewer to girls and women from many different first nations across the country . it is a family album of native womanhood , portraying a matriarchal society which has been pressured for centuries into adopting different standards and customs . . .\nalanis obomsawin is the best known of many aboriginal canadian documentary filmmakers , perhaps because she is one of the first , having started with the national film board ( nfb ) in the 1960s . however , she is also well known because of her monumental undertaking of creating an educational film that delves into the complex and historical circumstances surrounding the\noka crisis\nin the summer of 1990 . this film , entitled kahnesatake : 270 years of resistance , has been shown at many film festivals and other venues and is studied at schools and universities across the country . it is effective not only because of her style \u2014 using interviews that render a sense of subjective sensitivity and integrity \u2014 but also because alanis was the only filmmaker allowed\nbehind the scenes\nand able to provide the point of view of the mohawk people . her reputation as an advocate for social justice for native people in canada through her filmmaking certainly garnered the trust necessary to enter into this sensitive and dangerous situation , yet she is much more than a filmmaker or an activist .\nyet it was not just the minister of fisheries that alanis took it upon herself to confront . it was also necessary for her to challenge certain people at the film board , who thought she shouldn ' t be interviewing\nwhites\n. she responded to these individuals :\nthe first time the film showed in edmonton . . . i saw many people i assumed were social workers . their faces were severe and some took notes . they looked very unfriendly . i understood . i knew how they felt . after the film , i ' ll tell you , it was dead silence . but when i started to talk the atmosphere changed totally . i said to them , ' i know some of you think i ' ve made this film to point the finger at you . i didn ' t do that . i want all of us to look at what has happened to this child . i want to force the government to change the rules \u2014 to find better foster places for these children . ' . . . i wanted the feeling that this must not happen again .\nwhere are those parts ?\nshe asked . she was referring specifically to characters like maerose prizzi , the mafia princess of the 1985 film\nprizzi ' s honor ,\nand lilly dillon , the scheming and ultimately tragic gambler and gangster of\nthe grifters .\ngittings adds that\nby the end of the interview and the end of the film , lessard makes a personal apology for any problems his actions may have caused .\n( gittings , p . 218 ) this is one of the prime examples of alanis\nfighting back\nin her adult life .\n* variety , music or comedy special :\nthe 67th annual academy awards ,\nabc ;\namerican film institute salute to steven spielberg ,\nnbc ;\nbarbra streisand the concert ,\nhbo ;\na comedy salute to andy kaufman ,\nnbc ;\neagles hell freezes over ,\nmtv .\nemmy - winning , star - studded television movie looking at the legend of calamity jane ( anjelica huston ) , the hard - living , bull - whip cracking heorine of the american west . she teamed up with some of the great female legends of the west as well as starred in buffalo bill ' s ( peter coyote ) wild west show and became the lover of wild bill hickock ( sam elliott ) .\none reason , she said , is her background . not her famous show - business background as the daughter of the great film director john huston and granddaughter of the actor walter huston . ( in truth , she said ,\nmy father did not direct many westerns ; they were not his signature stuff .\n)\nalanis obomsawin is a woman of complexity . her native culture is rooted in the beauty of her early childhood on the odanak reserve and the fight against discrimination and injustice of her teenage years . as a young adult , she became a singer , educator and activist . her work with the national film board , though not without its challenges to a woman and aboriginal filmmaker , has allowed her to further her role , through film , as an educator and advocate for social change , thus living up to her name as a\npathfinder\n. she is a fighter who resonates with compassion and an understanding of the imperfection that underscores what it means to be human :\nobomsawin calls film a ' place ' where native people can talk to each other about their losses , their memories of injustice , their desire to share what is good about their way of life , and with that sharing as viewers of her documentaries perhaps arrive at a better appreciation of how the dispossessed , dislocated , and disoriented try to come out of the abyss . this social realism is what makes obomsawin narratives potent and cathartic ; they are like the axiom which says one has to deal with the poison before a process of healing can begin . to her as director / producer / writer , film must attempt to transform people and society ; it must be an artifice of social reform .\non sep . 11 , 1995 , members of the kettle and stony point band bury anthony dudley george . the 38 - year - old chippewa man was shot and killed during a confrontation between police and a group of indigenous protesters at camp ipperwash . first nations leader ovide mercredi has just attended george ' s funeral . in this television clip , he speaks to cbc ' s hana gartner about how to resolve land claims . mercredi says the events at ipperwash and gustafsen lake made him realize indigenous people have to resolve land claim issues differently .\nwe don ' t want to walk any more of those distances up the hills to bury our dead ,\nhe explains .\nthis film follows the aftermath of the oka crisis , which brought indigenous rights into sharp focus . after the barricades came down , the royal commission on aboriginal peoples was created , and travelled to more than 100 communities and heard from more than 1 , 000 representatives . for two - and - a - half years , teams of indigenous filmmakers followed the commission on its journey .\nfrom this film , obomsawin went on to create another important work , richard cardinal : cry from a diary of a m\u00e9tis child ( 1986 ) , a poignant look at the short life of a m\u00e9tis adolescent who committed suicide after having been shuffled in and out of 28 foster homes and institutions . alanis felt very strongly about what happened to richard , saying ,\ni tell the kids to look at the loss that we have , what a poet he was . he ' s gone . it ' s too bad nobody realized , what happened , how he got there .\n( steven , p . 182 ) the film also provided a penetrating look at the child welfare system in alberta at the time , and it brought about change . says alanis :\nit is this combination of strength and courage to challenge intermingled with compassion that define her as a filmmaker of substance and integrity . similarly , alanis has never wanted to publicize her own challenges as an aboriginal woman filmmaker in the male world of film . rather than speak out on her personal struggles , her priority is to advocate for social change and to bring the voices of aboriginal peoples to the forefront :\nms . huston wanted to be an actress .\ni always wanted that , from the time i was really small . i wasn ' t particularly encouraged .\nstill , when she was just 15 , her father took the risky step ( for both of them , as it turned out ) of casting her in the lead role in a 1968 film called\na walk with love and death .\nsince then , alanis has made several other films , including one on an addictions recovery center near edmonton , one on homeless people in montr\u00e9al , and a film about a day care center in montr\u00e9al \u2014 all about aboriginal institutions serving aboriginal people . then came the events at oka , and the series of films that evolved from behind - the - scenes film footage , including the arrest of one of the individuals involved in the stand - off and a personal look at one of the\nwarriors\n, an iron worker who had worked on high rises in new york city . more recent films include is the crown at war with us ? ( 2002 ) , which depicts the violence and racial tension evident in the political events concerning the new brunswick fisheries near the mi ' kmaq community of esgenoopetitj ( burnt church ) .\nthis western is my favourite western of all time . an epic and loosely based on facts , this entertaining trip through the chnging of the west is just fantastic . all of the actors fit the characters perfectly . anjelica huston and melanie griffiths are superb . . . and reba mcintyre as fantastic . and you would never know that gabriel byrne was irish . the american accent is spot on . and the bonus is buffalo bill cody . this is a must for anyone who enjoys a good western . ( or just for the time capsule )\nobomsawin ' s films represent a corrective to the historical exclusion of native image in film , the vast majority of it has been created without the consent and most often without the control of the native person whose image is being taken and utilized in media . i really believe alanis is using a medium to provide a voice and a story for a lot of people who historically have not had that opportunity .\nover four hours and locations ranging from santa fe , n . m . , to bath , england , ms . huston takes calam , as she calls her , through a near miss with the doomed command of gen . george armstrong custer , through an equally doomed romance with wild bill hickok , to a painful parting with a baby daughter she felt she could not care for , to adventures with mythic western figures like buffalo bill cody , sitting bull and annie oakley , and finally to a trip to england with cody ' s famous wild west show to perform for queen victoria .\nalanis continues to work for the national film board and has also continued singing and visiting schools , prisons and communities . her best - known recording , bush lady , was released in 1988 . on a more personal note , she has raised her daughter , kisos , who is now in her thirties . she also does etchings , some of which she exhibits publicly from time to time , to help de - stress from the work of the day .\nin 1965 , the canadian broadcasting corporation ( cbc ) made a documentary on her performances and her social activism for their telescope program , which brought her to the attention of two national film board producers , wolf koenig and bob verrall . they were working on a documentary on activists and invited her to consult on this and several other projects . by 1967 , she was working on her own projects , including multimedia educational kits for the manowan and l ' hawat tribes .\n. . . nobody is going to tell me who to interview or not interview . and if you feel that i , as a native person , cannot interview white people , we ' ll go through everything the film board has done with native people , and see who interviewed them . and i ' ll tell you something else , not you , nor any other person could have faced the minister the way i did . you ' ve got a long walk to do before you can do that .\nobomsawin has said that the most important part of her making kahnesatake was that ' there had to be a document that came from us . . . that was crucial . ' less than an attempt to be the definitive voice , kahnesatake was a distinct voice , one among many , and one that , finally , would allow the people under siege and their compatriots to give their side of the story . going so far as to call the film ' s approach demagogic shows a lack of clear understanding of the uses to which obomsawin ' s subjective voice is put .\nthis movie pulls out the two sides of me . on one hand it is entertaining . on the other hand , it is nearly completely historically inaccurate . wild bill , calamity jane , dora dufran , buffalo bill cody , annie oakley and sitting bull were all real people . there are some portions of this movie that are as close to historically truthful as they can be . if i am being honest , no one really knows the whole truth about these famous people . my love for stories of the old west and the people in them makes this an entertaining show to me . the acting is very good and the sets interesting if again , looking nothing like the actual deadwood and black hills . if you are going to watch this show , watch it for the love of westerns and a decent story , not for the history that you can learn . enjoy it purely for enjoyments sake .\n[ she also ] went to see the worst place richard had been and i met the foster father there . the man was very upset and angry and wouldn ' t cooperate . i told him that i was going to make the film anyway . richard ' s diary had already been seen publicly . he said that it ' s all lies . but i also saw that man as human , for who was to know back then when he had richard what would happen ? many native children and white children were in bad situations . then you expose that situation twenty years later . some of these people just didn ' t think . so much has gone on unknown to the public .\nthree years after alanis arrived in trois - rivi\u00e8res , her father died and she began to rebel against the prejudice and racism :\nmy life changed when i was 12 . . . my father died and i decided i wasn ' t going to get beat up at school every day by the other girls in the classroom . it was just a decision \u2014 just like that i said , ' no more ' . and that ' s all there was to it . it stopped the next day\n( monk , p . 60 ) . she also fought against the\nindian\nstereotype :\ni never believed what i was told i was . i knew that there was a lot of wrong there . every time i tried to do something they would tell me , ' oh you can ' t do this , you ' re an indian ! ' the more they said that to me , the more i said , ' well i am going to do that anyway ' . i was just a fighter . i just wanted to make changes .\n( harewood , p . 14 )\n[ . . . ] the white imagination of hollywood has come to see the american indian as a social victim in much the same way as canadian literature did decades ago . from the cardboard villainy of indians in old westerns from the fifties , to the noble martyrdom of a socially minded effort like little big man , and more recently to such homages as dances with wolves and geronimo , we can see hints of revisionism taking hold , nudging americans into a less divisive and slightly more humble perception of national self vis - \u00e0 - vis the native peoples who were destroyed in its creation . . . . the most obvious \u2014 and most important \u2014 improvement is that we now have a body of film work created by aboriginals , instead of white people telling aboriginal stories , in the context of the identity process , this development cannot be undervalued because it puts the power of creation back in the hands of those who are being represented . . .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nselect subject matter : all subject matters action / adventure addiction story american indians animal story biblical biography black story buddy story children / teens cops / detectives / law enforcement courtroom drama cross - cultural story disaster drug smuggling / dealing environmental family drama family violence farm story forbidden love foreign / exotic location historical piece holiday special hollywood / show biz homosexuality horror iraq war love story mafia / mob man against the system medical / disease / mental illness murder and murder mystery nazis period piece political piece prison and prison camp prostitution psychological thriller rape / molestation romantic comedy sci - fi / supernatural / fantasy series pilot ( 2 hr . ) sex / glitz social issue sports suspense / thriller true crime true story vietnam western woman against the system woman in jeopardy woman ' s issue / story wwii youth comedy\nclick ' enable ratings filter ' box above to see movies or miniseries listed from highest to lowest rated . cable ( hbo , a & e ; , tnt , usa , etc , ) shows are not rated and will not appear in search results .\nbased on the novel by larry mcmurtry . hard - drinking frontier free spirit calamity jane and her best friend brothel proprietor dora dufran face adventures and romance in the rugged dakota territory of the 1870s .\nall data is checked with on - screen credits before being entered into the database .\nuse tv tango to search for and discover television shows , made - for - tv movies & miniseries , full - length free videos , paid downloads , and dvds . if you are looking for a specific video or dvd or if you just want to browse available titles , tv tango can help you find exactly what you ' re looking for .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

respected filmmaker . an article in take one presents a captivating description of the enigma that is alanis :\nthe 70 - year - old writer , director and member of the abenaki nation is considered one of the country ' s most distinguished filmmakers . a pioneering artist , singer , educator , community activist , member [ now officer ] of the order of canada , obomsawin is to her legion of admirers a legend in her own time . obomsawin \u2014 one of only three remaining staff documentary filmmakers at the nfb \u2014 has moved from the margins to the center of institutional power in canada . while her work is now officially embraced by the repressive state that she lombasts [ sic ] , obomsawin has retained the instincts , sensibility and posture of the eternally alienated outsider . . . . in person , obomsawin is the epitome of dignity , grace and fine manners . she is humble and without affectation . . . . as an interlocutor she can be mischievous , playful and wildly funny . belying her gentle , nurturing nature , she is a formidable force when challenged . able to shift her mood at a whim , she possesses a wholly unique quality that allows her to disarm and charm at the same time . her piercing dark brown eyes host a swirling sea of emotion , at times compassionate , inquisitive , earnest , defiant and wise .\nlater , when she was nine years old , she moved with her mother and father to trois - rivi\u00e8res , located only 48 kilometres from the odanak reserve . this proved to be a difficult adjustment , as she was the only native child at school and was not fluent in french or english . as well , she experienced prejudice and racism on a daily basis and was regularly beaten up by her schoolmates . in history classes she was forced to listen to\nteachings\nabout\nmartyred priests being tortured to death by indians .\n( alioff and schouten levine , p . 10 ) people often looked down on her and her family . her parents , however , remained true to their native traditions and spiritual beliefs , and often even treated many of their neighbours with traditional herbal medicines .\nthis fighting spirit is something she brings to her work although she uses more strategy now , which comes with maturation . it was because of her experiences at school that she has become active for social change :\nthat was my fight from the very beginning , to fight for changes in the educational system concerning our people , and i wanted to see our history being taught and to try and do our own programs and get it in there as part of the curriculum .\n( tallon , p . 12 )\nalanis left trois - rivi\u00e8res at the age of 22 and , after having learned to speak english in florida , moved to montr\u00e9al in the late 1950s , where she became part of a circle of artists . soon after , she emerged as a singer ( often traveling the folk music festival circuit but also performing in schools , museums and prisons ) and a storyteller , primarily to help instill a pride in native oral histories and hence a sense of self - esteem in native children .\nobomsawin ' s first love centres on aboriginal youth .\n( steven , p . 176 )\nwhen you came to restigouche , i was outraged by what you said to the band council . it was dreadful . the chief said ,\nyou french canadians are asking for sovereignty here in quebec . you are saying it ' s your country and you want to be independent in your country . we are surprised that you don ' t understand us indian people and our sovereignty on our land .\nand you answered ,\nyou cannot ask for sovereignty because to have sovereignty one must have one ' s own culture , language and land .\nincident at restigouche also gave the people of the reserve a sense of dignity and a chance to express themselves . it also created a better understanding between members of the community .\nfor alanis , it was one of the most painful films she has made . she travelled to richard ' s home town of fort chipewyan and visited the cemetery where he was buried .\nit is easy to see alanis ' compassion for others , including the foster parents . it wasn ' t her intention to point fingers at people who were struggling , such as social workers , but more to change an ineffective system :\ni attended the inquiry into richard ' s death and by the time the last social worker came into the box , i began to feel for him too . he told the judge he had a hundred cases and had to travel two hundred miles . the rule was that they had to see each placement once a month . now , nobody can do a good job with that . . . the government ' s whole system was so bad . but when you look at the immediate situation you blame the first person you can . i didn ' t want to do that .\nseveral writers have offered the analyses of alanis ' distinctive filmmaking style . one strong element is the issue of the authenticity of voice , or the need for aboriginal people to tell their own stories :\nthe interview , used to shape point of view , becomes a valuable instrument to validate individual biography , make intelligible the ongoing struggles for native self - definition , and contest eurocentric narratives of first nations history . . . . her work subverts the objectifying tendencies of the social documentary by revealing a heartfelt respect for the past and present of the people she has filmed .\nher work displays little in the way of stylistic flourish or excess , and usually features explanatory voice - overs . . . however , this apparently simple aesthetic is peppered with a pronounced subjectivity . further , obomsawin ' s work displays a tendency towards lyricism and massive narrative digressions . . . describing her style , obomsawin has said that ' i like to make it as plain as possible , so that the attention has to be on the work and what the people are saying . . . i don ' t like to do fancy things where your attention is on other things ' . . . even though she draws on a semi - minimalist form , obomsawin ' s films are extremely subjective . this subjectivity is most clearly expressed by her own voice . . . the voice - over is far from the voice - of - god variety . . . ; instead , it has the effect of identifying whose eyes are seeing the action .\nalthough alanis has been taken to task for her subjective stance , in general , these criticisms have demonstrated a lack of understanding in what she is trying to do . white further explains :\nthese passages indicate that alanis has developed her own style , using the interview format and subjectivity in a powerful way to accomplish her role as an advocate for social justice for aboriginal peoples .\ni would never even stop going to prisons , and skid row , where you find a high percentage of our people . you watch the drinking , the people sleeping on the sidewalks , being abused , and you hear terrible language . it ' s a snake pit . but i cannot divorce myself from them . there was a time when i was told that ' s where i should be . i fought back and fought back . that ' s why i understand and love all the people down there . they ' re not separate from me . . . . there ' s lots of people that somehow have managed to be strong and do something . i don ' t mean to say that the people who are down there on the street are not strong . but how much can you take and how long do you go on until you finally believe what they ' re telling you : that you ' re no good , . . . that you don ' t have a culture that you don ' t belong . you see your parents who are drinking , who are in a terrible state . and you look in the mirror , and you don ' t like what you see , so you end up fighting your own people . . . and it took me many , many years before i could understand that .\nthe basic purpose is for our people to have a voice . to be heard is the important thing , no matter what it is that we ' re talking about \u2014 whether it has to do with having our existence recognized , or whether it has to do with speaking about our values , our survival , our beliefs , that we belong to something that is beautiful , that it ' s o . k . to be an indian , to be a native person of this country .\nalanis obomsawin .\nnational gathering on aboriginal artistic expression . ottawa : canadian heritage conference june 17 -

based cinema , menon has now created a new box - office record with her film .\nthe film however belongs to priya bapat . as the bold and outspoken girl who yearns for the attention of her brother , she is outstanding and undeniably holds the film in an author backed role . from playing minor roles in both the munnabhai films to playing secondary but important roles in films like mee shivajiraje bhosle boltoy and now to happy journey , she has indeed matured well as a performer . it would be interesting to see the kind of roles she does from hereon .\nnot just that , she has broken the myth that in malayalam cinema only a male director can deliver a commercial success at the box - office . in the past , yesteryear actresses vijaya nirmala ( kavitha - 1973 ) and sheela ( yakshaganam - 1976 ) and recently revathy varma ( mad dad \u2013 2012 ) tried their luck with directing films , but failed to create an impact . trade sources say that menon\u2019s film has been able to attract the youth as well as family audiences , which is rare for a malayalam film .\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . if you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it .\nthe film , which released last friday ( 30 may ) in 98 screens in kerala and 105 screens across the rest of india ( mainly metro cities like mumbai , chennai , bangalore ) , has earned nearly rs 10 crore at the all india box - office , with a distributor share of rs 4 to 4 . 5 crore in the very first week . this is phenomenal by any yardstick , as usually , malayalam films release simultaneously only in a dozen screens outside of kerala . the film has opened up new markets for malayalam cinema . menon has come out with a film which is young , vibrant , colourful and peppy and is attracting youth as well as family audiences .\nthe interest quotient in boban samuel ' s ' happy journey ' remains the minimum , and at the end of it , its nothing more than a series of disparate scenes that try their best to hold together . it ' s a bit sad , since the source material that the maker had in his hands could have evolved into something infinitely better , with perhaps a bit of a shift in perspective .\nactors siju wilson , sharaffudeen , justin john and soubin shahir , all of whom rose to fame with their standout supporting acts in last year\u2019s blockbuster romedy premam , star in the lead in happy wedding .\n, the first feature film to be shot in the local language of sikkim .\nwith film scholar richard misek , creator of the feature length essay film rohmer in paris : urltoken . see his short video essay mapping rohmer here : urltoken .\na man comes home when his sister dies , and realizes that he has missed her life , and in many ways his own . he will literally be haunted by his loving sibling until he makes the journey back to happiness .\nartist traces the journey of two artists michael agnelo ( fahadh faasil ) , son of a goan businessman , and gayatri ( ann augustine ) , who hails from a conservative brahmin family . gayatri . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe second essay raises the pertinent question of why so many films in malayalam given the fact that in 2012 more than rs . 300 crores was spent on making cinema for what biju calls a miniscule state with a population of just 3 . 33 crores .\nbesides exploring the brother sister relationship , the film in parts is a road movie , which is yet another genre that has been pathetically explored in our films . the only notable exceptions to this are perhaps films such as kacche dhaage and north 24 kaatham . road movies are essentially movies concerned with the idea of self - discovery , wherein often the premise of the physical journey undertaken by its protagonists serves as an excuse for them to overcome their demons and rediscover themselves in the process . but given the fact that we , the indian audiences are suckers for emotional manipulation and shallow melodrama , such films often resort to same and end up being preachy too . happy journey thankfully avoids resorting to such clich\u00e9s or melodrama , though it occasionally resorts to some of it .\nmenon , born and educated in kozhikode , had moved to dubai and is now settled in mumbai . she started her career in 1997 with television and worked on various documentaries . her first film as a writer and director \u2014 manjadikuru ( 2008 ) , the story of a 10 - year - old boy who returns to his village to attend the funeral of his grandfather \u2014 won her critical acclaim and awards . later , she was part of the anthology film kerala cafe ( 2009 ) . she also directed the short film happy journey which got her recognition as a story teller . but it was with ustad hotel ( 2012 ) that she proved that she had the potential to make a commercial entertainer . she won the prestigious national award for \u2018best screenplay\u2019 in 2012 for the film .\nprasad and sreeja enter wedlock and move to a new place to continue the rest of their lives . unfortunate events begin to take place after prasad , a small -

the stories , songs , and stars - without spoilers .\nso have i lost it ? why am i getting nostalgic instead of sharing my thoughts on a film ? don\u2019t worry but if you end up watching alphonse putharen \u2019s premam , there is no way that you can escape going back to your days in school , college and even beyond , most importantly remembering the various occasions when you probably were in \u2018love\u2019 in some form or the other . with his debut film neram ( based on his own short film of the same name ) alphonse putharen had created quite a stir by making a fun entertainer which worked equally well both in malayalam and tamil . so when his second film premam was announced with nivin pauly in the lead once again automatically the expectations were bound to be reasonably high . nothing much was revealed about the film as such during the making . and later from the promos and songs that were unveiled we could only gather that it could be a fun film and that nivin was playing the part of a teenager , nothing more than that . considering that even in a film like 1983 nivin had easily pulled off a role which saw him age gradually from 15 to 40 so wonderfully , this seemed to be quite in his zone indeed .\nraindance has been delivering film training since 1992 . a wide range of open classes to a 2 year hnd level 5 btec in moving images to a postgraduate film degree are delivered to students on five continents , both in person and online .\nshe spent two years serving as the ceo of jtpac kochi , and designed shows involving many celebrities . during her tenure there , she coordinated the biggest show for kochi city police called \u201caspirations\u201d in addition to the \u201ckochi music festival\u201d . she also directed the 1 billion rising \u2013 a fight on atrocities against women and included participation from malayalam playback singers and other personalities from bollywood and cricket .\n, although she remembers him fondly and misses his presence . often putting his family first and not being able to fulfil his personal desires has also made niranjan cynical and bitter . several years later , niranjan and janaki meet under some unusual circumstances giving them a chance to rediscover their relationship . they decide to embark on a roadtrip with the intent to mend their relationship and have an adventure of their own . what happens along the journey forms the crux of the film .\non his 50th birthday , we wish the musical magician a very happy birthday and hope to hear more of his soulful music for many many years to come ! here\u2019s a lovely interview of rahman from 1992 , from the hugely popular dd series surabhi , which aired before he won his first national award for mani ratnam\u2019s roja .\nthe deeply ironic essay on the relevance of cinema in film festivals , while offering a scathing criticism of the carnivalisation of film festivals , the vested interests of selection committees and flawed state machinery , puts forward opinions in a rather uncivil and individualistic tone .\n\u2018basha\u2019 went on to become a huge blockbuster and gained cult status , making him a demigod to his fans and followers . his film \u2018muthu\u2019 was the first tamil film to be dubbed into japanese as \u2018muthu : the dancing maharajah\u2019 became very popular in japan .\non her casting coup of bringing together the hot and happening young guns of malayalam films , menon said ,\nall my actors were fabulous to work with as each of them knew their roles and there was terrific chemistry between them which showed on screen . i think i was able to package it well with the aid of a good technical team like music director gopi sundar and cameraman sameer thahir .\nthe honeymoon period continues for director omar lulu . his debut movie , happy wedding , for better or worse , is the sleeper hit of the season in mollywood . the no - brainer comedy is still running to packed houses across the state a month after its release and that\u2019s without a star actor to push up the stakes at the box office .\ndp : i think everyone has their own journey , their own ups and downs . everyone has their own challenges and i don\u2019t know what it would be like for someone who has come from the film industry . i think i\u2019ve been really fortunate . i\u2019m glad that i was patient and waited for the right kind of films to come my way . shah rukh and gauri [ khan ] offered me on om shanti om at a point on my life and career that i thought i was ready to do films .\nhowever , music soon became the only source of joy for rahman . dedicated and hard working , he learnt how to play several musical instruments under the guidance on m k arjunan ( malayalam composer and close friend of his father ) and began spending several hours with his musical instruments . as a kid , he was seen in doordarshan\u2019s wonder balloon where he got popular for being the kid who could play four keyboards at once .\ndirector boban samuel\u2019s film , starring jayasurya as a visually challenged sportsperson , is a story of courage and resilience in the face of adversity .\nshepitko\u2019s last film before her death was this black and white soviet drama film\u2014winner of the golden bear award at the 27th berlin international film festival in 1977 . said to be one of the finest war films ever made , the ascent is set in the bleak winter of 1942 , during world war ii , and follows two young soviet partisans as they search for food in a belarusian village , which was occupied by nazis .\nsince their first film together , rajinikanth and amitabh bachchan have shared a great friendship and worked together in hindi films such as \u2018geraftaar\u2019 and \u2018hum\u2019 .\na propaganda film considered by many as one of the best documentaries ever made , leni riefenstahl chronicles the 1934 nazi party congress in nuremberg , which was attended by more than 700 , 000 nazi supporters . riefanstahl won instant international fame with this and the other propaganda films she directed in the 1930s . she was considered a pioneer of film and photographic techniques ; after she filmed triumph , she was labeled by many as the greatest female filmmaker of the 20th century . her personal association with hitler ( who actually commissioned this film ) ruined her film career after germany\u2019s defeat in world war ii .\nfilm studies for free ' s author interviewed film studies writer and thinker extraordinaire adrian martin . our conversation took place in the quietest spot we could find in the historic center of milan late on a world cup match night . we were both visiting that city for the conference of the network of european cinema and media studies ( necs ) , and had been part of a workshop panel that day on videographic film studies , or\naudiovisual approaches to audiovisual subjects .\nwe discussed adrian ' s turn to audiovisual essays ( many made with cristina \u00e1lvarez l\u00f3pez ) as well as his work more generally , and talked about his new book mise en sc\u00e8ne and film style : from classical hollywood to new media art ( forthcoming from palgrave macmillan , later in 2014 ) . adrian ' s latest de filmkrant column ' serve yourself ' offers an extract from the book as a preview of it : the column is on -

( the u . s . supreme court , however , has prohibited the court - martial of any civilians accompanying the armed forces in the field during peacetime . in addition , certain punitive articles of the ucmj , by their express terms , may only be used to punish members of the armed forces . )\nin its report on the los angeles police department in the aftermath of the march 1991 beating of rodney king , the christopher commission confirmed a long held suspicion : a small number of officers were involved in an extraordinarily high percentage of use - of - force incidents . ten percent of the officers accounted for 33 . 2 percent of all use - of - force incidents . the commission was able to identify 44 such officers who were not disciplined despite the fact that they were the subjects of numerous citizen complaints .\nyour community ' s principal aim here should be to get the police department to adopt and enforce a written policy governing the use of physical force . this policy should have two parts \u2014\npolice executive research forum ( perf ) 2300 m street , n . w . washington , d . c . 20037 tel : ( 202 ) 466 - 7820 professional association of police chiefs from the big cities in the united states . conducts research and management consulting . issues position papers and policy statements on important issues in policing .\nwhen war broke out between north and south korea , the united states once again found itself thrust into an international conflict thousands of miles from home . backed by china and the soviet union , north korea was on the brink of victory when america entered the fray and turned the tide . the war ultimately ended in a stalemate , but the u . s . reconfirmed its role as a global military power .\nthe fact that an accused is subject to trial by court - martial does not eliminate the possibility of trial by another jurisdiction , either in addition to or in lieu of court - martial . under the united states constitution , a person may not be tried for the same misconduct by both a court - martial and another federal court . such an act would violate the constitution\u0092s double jeopardy clause .\nfrench soldiers , assigned to task force wagram , fire a french ceasar in support of operation roundup , in al qa ' im , iraq , may 16 , 2018 . as a non - permanent force the coalition aims to enable the iraqi security forces to be self - sufficient . ( u . s . army photo by spc . zakia gray )\nas the 20th century came to a close , the u . s . cemented its role as the most advanced air force in the world with its display of air power during the liberation of kuwait , the activation of the gps system and the launching of the first unmanned aerial vehicle , which would once again change the way battles are fought from the skies .\nbreaking the\ncode of silence\nby making it a crime for a police officer to fail to report criminal wrongdoing by another officer . this provision would also protect a reporting officer from retaliation ;\nalternatively , since it isn ' t essential that officers be identified by name , demand that they be identified simply by a code number , which can focus public attention on the problem of excessive shooters .\nr . s . \u00a7 1999 provided that : \u201cwhereas the right of expatriation is a natural and inherent right of all people , indispensable to the enjoyment of the rights of life , liberty , and the pursuit of happiness ; and whereas in the recognition of this principle this government has freely received emigrants from all nations , and invested them with the rights of citizenship ; and whereas it is claimed that such american citizens , with their descendants , are subjects of foreign states , owing allegiance to the governments thereof ; and whereas it is necessary to the maintenance of public peace that this claim of foreign allegiance should be promptly and finally disavowed : therefore any declaration , instruction , opinion , order , or decision of any officer of the united states which denies , restricts , impairs , or questions the right of expatriation , is declared inconsistent with the fundamental principles of the republic . \u201d\nit was a time of relative peace , but not idle times . the lessons learned during the global conflict of wwii propelled the u . s . to push the envelope of what was possible both technologically and organizationally , including the separation of the air force into its own branch of the military . in the process , the u . s . became a leading superpower .\nunited states soldiers are to always oppose the enemy in every way possible and only surrender when at the point of certain death . as prisoners of war it is their duty to try to escape and if escaped return to fight ; a parole would violate duty . during the american civil war paroles were common . the soldier could go home with the promise not to fight . but all too often it was a false promise and the soldiers would continue to fight in some capacity , some as state militia to defend from invasion . eventually the union stopped offering paroles because it only helped the confederate effort , only if the paroled soldier went back to contributing to the faltering economy of the confederate states .\narticle 15 , ucmj , and regulations . njp is permitted by article 15 , ucmj ( section 815 of title 10 , united states code ) and is governed by part v of the manual for courts - martial and by service regulations . prior to imposition of njp , a servicemember must first be notified by the commander of the nature of the misconduct of which he or she is accused , of the evidence supporting the accusation , and of the commander\u0092s intent to impose njp . the member may then be allowed to consult with a defense counsel to determine whether to consent to a njp proceeding , or to refuse njp and demand instead a trial by court - martial . the major difference among the services with regard to njp is that servicemembers attached to or embarked in a vessel may not refuse imposition of njp .\nafter unification of the armed services under the department of defense in 1947 , secretary forrestal , the first secretary of defense , decided that there should not be separate criminal law rules for the different branches of service . he desired a uniform code that would apply to all services . his efforts set the stage for a new uniform system of discipline .\nthe defense is given wide latitude in cross - examining witnesses . if the commander details an attorney to represent the united states , this government representative will normally conduct a direct examination of the government witnesses . this is followed by cross - examination by the defense and examination by the investigating officer upon completion of questioning by both counsel . likewise , if a defense witness is called , the defense counsel will normally conduct a direct examination followed by a government cross - examination . after redirect examination by the defense counsel , or completion of questioning by both counsel , the investigating officer may conduct additional examination . the exact procedures to be followed in the hearing are not specified in either the uniform code of military justice or the manual for court - martial . the investigating officer , however , will generally :\nconsiderable progress has been made in the area of police misconduct in the use of deadly force . although the rate of deadly force abuse is still intolerably high , national data reveal reductions in the number of persons shot and killed by the police since the mid - 1970s \u2014 as much as 35 - to 40 percent in our 50 largest cities . this has been accompanied by a significant reduction in the racial disparities among persons shot and killed : since the 1970s , from about six people of color to one white person , down to three people of color to one white .\nunited states court of appeals for the armed forces . five civilian judges , appointed by the president and confirmed by congress , comprise the court of appeals for the armed forces ( caaf ) and serve for a term of 15 years . caaf is responsible for overseeing the military justice system . in all but death penalty cases , which it reviews automatically , and cases certified by the judge advocate general , caaf chooses upon petitions for review which cases it will consider , similar to federal courts of appeal .\nthe 4th of july celebrates the birth of our nation , which was founded on the principles of liberty and freedom . on this # independenceday , we send thanks and wishes to our troops at home and overseas as they continue to protect our nation . u . s . army central | u . s . air forces central command | u . s . naval forces central command / u . s . 5th fleet | special purpose magtf -

323 . the first and still the most important study of the impact of restrictive shooting policies on police use of deadly force .\nunquestionably , a rigorously trained , professional police force is a desirable goal that should be pursued depending on local conditions . if citizens in your community feel that this is an important issue \u2014\nin tucson , arizona , a citizens ' police advisory committee was incorporated into the city ' s municipal code in july 1990 . composed of both civilian and police representatives , it has the authority to initiate investigations of controversial incidents or questionable policies , and other oversight functions .\nin the short term , the recruitment of more women and minority officers may not result in less police abuse . several social science studies suggest that minority and white officers do not differ greatly in their use of physical or deadly force , or in their arrest practices . ( female officers , on the other hand , are involved in citizen complaints at about half the rate of male officers , according to the new york city ccrb . ) still , in the long term , an integrated police force is a very important goal for these reasons \u2014\nin addition to the enumerated punitive articles of the uniform code of military justice , article 134 , ( 10 usc \u00a7 934 ) , makes punishable acts in three categories of offenses not specifically covered in any other article of the code . these are referred to as\nclauses 1 , 2 , and 3\nof article 134 . clause 1 offenses involve disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces . clause 2 offenses involve conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces . an act in violation of a local civil law or of a foreign law may be punished if it constitutes a disorder or neglect to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces or it is of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces .\nno person subject to the uniform code of military justice may interrogate , or request any statement from a person suspected of an offense without first informing him of the nature of the accusation , that he does not have to made a statement regarding the offense , and that any statement may be used against him as evidence in a trial by court - martial .\nwhile some types of influence are unlawful and prohibited by the uniform code of military justice ( ucmj ) , other types of influence are lawful , proper , and in certain circumstances a necessary part of leadership . the prohibition against uci does not mean that a commander may abdicate responsibility for correcting disciplinary problems . rather , the commander must vigilantly insure that the command action does not encroach upon the independence of the other participants in the military justice system .\nintegration will break down the isolation of police departments , as they reflect more and more the composition of the communities they serve . a representative police force will probably be less likely to behave like an alien , occupying army . the visible presence of officers of color in high - ranking command positions engenders public confidence in the ability of police department personnel to identify , on human terms , with community residents .\nsherman , lawrence w . and ellen g . gohn . citizens killed by big city police , 1970 -

1970s , police departments began developing restrictive internal policies on the use of deadly force . they adopted the\ndefense of life\nstandard : the use of deadly force only when the life of an officer or some other person is in danger . in 1985 , the supreme court finally upheld this standard in the case of tennessee v . garner ( see table ) . however , the majority of policies adopted by police departments go beyond the court ' s garner decision , prohibiting warning shots , shots to wound and other reckless actions . most important , these policies require officers to file written reports after each firearm discharge , and require that those reports be reviewed by higher - ranking officers .\nclause 3 offenses also involve offenses made applicable to the military through the federal assimilative crimes act . these are referred to as crimes and offenses of local application . the federal assimilative crimes act is congress\u0092 adoption of state criminal laws for areas of\nexclusive or concurrent\nfederal jurisdiction , in so far as the federal criminal law ( including the ucmj ) has not already prescribed an applicable offense for the misconduct committed . for example , if a person committed an act on an exclusive jurisdiction area of a military installation in the united states , and it was not an offense specifically defined by federal law ( including the ucmj ) , the military person committing the act could be punished by a court - marital . the additional requirements would be that the misconduct was not specified as an existing ucmj offense and that the offense was not a capital offense under the law of the state where the military installation was located .\ncommanders are given significant roles in the military justice system because discipline is essential to mission readiness . at the same time , there are extensive safeguards to protect against abuse of authority . in the opinion of many legal scholars , the ucmj has not only kept pace with innovations in civilian criminal jurisprudence , but has actually led the way , establishing more safeguards to protect the rights of those accused of criminal offenses . the ucmj and mcm are primarily kept current with the basic principles of american jurisprudence through two standing committees , the code committee and the joint service committee on military justice .\n( b ) the voluntary enlistment of any person who has the capacity to understand the significance of enlisting in the armed forces shall be valid for purposes of jurisdiction under subsection ( a ) and a change of status from civilian to member of the armed forces shall be effective upon the taking of the oath of enlistment .\nthe time is august 1988 ; the place , new york city . manhattan ' s lower east side is rocked by one of the most serious outbreaks of police violence in years . declaring a curfew , the police begin to eject homeless people and their supporters from tompkins square park . fifty - two people , most of them innocent bystanders , sustain serious injuries at the hands of the police in the ensuing violence . much of the violence is recorded on video . yet the officers who are guilty of misconduct go virtually unpunished ; only one receives more than a 30 - day suspension from the force .\nthe accused member is not entitled to be represented by a military attorney , but may hire a civilian lawyer at his own expense . [ in rare cases , military exigencies may preclude the reasonable availability of civilian counsel . ] as a matter of air force policy , all accused at summary courts - martial are afforded representation by military counsel .\n6 \u2014 strive to strengthen and ensure throughout the community the application of the principle of equal protection under the law for all persons .\nwith this information , you can evaluate the use of deadly force in your department . you can also evaluate the long - term trends in shootings . are shootings increasing or decreasing ? has there been a recent upsurge ? how does the department compare with other departments \u2014 are officers shooting at a significantly higher rate in your department than elsewhere ?\nin 1981 , the u . s . civil rights commission found a similar pattern in houston and recommended , as a remedy , that police departments establish\nearly warning systems\nto identify officers with high rates of citizen complaints . patterns in the use of physical force reveal a lot about the\nculture\nof a particular police department . clearly , a department whose officers repeatedly engage in physically coercive conduct needs reform . police officials often deny that their personnel are prone to using force inappropriately , so if your community believes it has a problem in this area citizens must be able to support their claims with existing data , or data they have gathered themselves .\na parole would generally be given while hostilities are ongoing , and would almost always require a promise not to continue fighting . that ' s incompatible with the obligations the service member has to serve in the armed forces and fight alongside them . it is expected , rather , that the service member will attempt to escape or help others to escape , and will continue to resist in any way reasonably possible while a pow . that doesn ' t mean mindlessly attacking heavily armed guards who will just easily kill them , but it does mean to do what they can .\nu . s . army gen joseph l . votel , commander , u . s . central command , meets with members of the french ministry of foreign and european affairs may 17 , 2018 . votel was in france to meet with senior leaders to discuss topics of mutual interest .

we will be here for a few more days soaking up the films , the people , and this beautiful town .\nit seems odd that a mountain lion would break into a second floor motel room , but the city of pasadena does warn that the wild predators frequent the city . the imagery in the neon demon is often times not so subtle but in your face . the image of the mountain lion tearing up the motel room is surreal , and i think this is one way that refn is setting up audiences for what is to come .\nultimately , it really doesn\u2019t matter whether the comedy in the film is intentional or accidental . wiseau always planned for the room to provoke a reaction and entertain , and it has certainly done both those things . and how many other independent filmmakers can claim to have entranced \u2014 and even influenced \u2014 such a roll call of comedic luminaries ? \u201danything that i\u2019ve seen that many times seeps into my subconscious , \u201d says david wain . \u201din the same way that steve martin or woody allen movies became part of my vocabulary , that\u2019s what happened with the room . i\u2019m laughing just thinking about it ! \u201d\nthe room opened at a handful of cinemas in l . a . on june 27 , 2003 . the director , who self - distributed the movie , offered a free soundtrack cd for ticket buyers , and promoted the film with a tv and print campaign that compared the room to the work of tennessee williams . wiseau rented a billboard on highland avenue , which featured a close - up of his glowering visage , and submitted the film to the academy awards , without success . cast member robyn paris recalls the film\u2019s premiere screening as \u201da big deal . tommy rode in a limousine . there was a spotlight set up . it was pretty packed . everyone in the theater was crying with laughter . \u201d not everyone found the film so amusing , however . variety critic scott foundas noted that it \u201dmay be something of a first : a movie that prompts most of its viewers to ask for their money back \u2014 before even 30 minutes have passed . \u201d foundas also called wiseau \u201da narcissist nonpareil whose movie makes vincent gallo\u2019s the brown bunny seem the apotheosis of cinematic self - restraint . \u201d\noh , what a room ! thank you so much for this series set inside burghley house , julie . i\u2019m enjoying it immensely , and you\u2019re making it swiftly move up the list of \u201cplaces to visit next . \u201d\nearly in the film , there ' s a striking image . we see a vast empty room , with rows of what look like abandoned lunchroom tables . then we see the room when it was enron ' s main trading floor , with countless computer monitors on the tables and hundreds of traders on the phones . two vast staircases sweep up from either side of the trading floor to the aeries of lay and skilling , whose palatial offices overlook the traders . they look like the stairway to heaven in that old david niven movie , but at the end they only led down , down , down .\na man gets violently drunk and is chained to the wall in a police station . his friend comes and bails him out . while the friend is making a telephone call , the man disappears from an empty city street in the middle of the night . the man regains consciousness in what looks like a shabby hotel room . a bed , a desk , a tv , a bathroom cubicle . there is a steel door with a slot near the floor for his food tray . occasionally a little tune plays , the room fills with gas , and when he regains consciousness the room has been cleaned , his clothes have been changed , and he has received a haircut .\nhenry ' s film is beautifully shot and extraordinarily well acted by williams , whose face alone says everything about the plight of working mothers who can no longer make ends meet .\ncentury , the global staging of a wedding last spring reminds us of the popular fascination that this particular royal dynasty continues to hold . the ensemble of the film : acting ,\nif the room is the citizen kane of bad movies , that makes tommy wiseau the orson welles of crap . wiseau \u2014 who speaks with a thick , schwarzeneggerian accent \u2014 directed , wrote , and produced the film . the muscled auteur also plays the cuckolded johnny , and , when not exposing his ivory rump in the film\u2019s sex scenes , gives a performance that\u2019s both heartfelt and berserk . in one scene , a vein - poppingly distraught wiseau howls the line , \u201dyou are tearing me apart , lisa !

set love triangle involving a banker named johnny , his friend mark , and johnny\u2019s fianc\u00e9e lisa , who is sleeping with both men . the film does seem to be beset with problems . various subplots are inadequately resolved or simply disappear altogether , including the throwaway revelation that lisa\u2019s mother is suffering from cancer . the film\u2019s many rooftop shots feature an unrealistic san francisco backdrop , thanks to some less -

loving ten - year old . he has simple wishes , like wanting to sleep beside his father , dine with him . but he cannot , because his father is a drunkard . he always comes home drunk , fights with his mother , and slaps sanatomba for going to school . the father himself doesn\u2019t work , but he wants his son to work in a hotel and bring home some money so that he could waste it on alcohol .\nthe house runs on the shoulders of his mother , but even she cannot put up with the antics of the father . one day , she leaves them . she hopes that her husband would come to his senses in her absence . meanwhile , sanatomba is distraught at his misfortune and compares it with that of thambol , the daughter of a rich , well - to - do family next door . thambol tells him that she could sleep beside both her mother and her father , and that they both love her very much .\nlater in the movie , the problems associated with adoption are shown , when a childless couple come across sanatomba and wish to adopt him . not only is the acceptance of both the mother and the father sought , but more importantly , of that of the child , sanatomba , who wants to see his mother .\nit is a simple movie which shows how domestic violence can trouble a child , and shows it from the child\u2019s point of view . i personally feel that because the movie has been produced by women , it does show its effect on the final product . for once , in a movie , women take up center stage , and men are put behind . this movie kind of shows how it would be if women take up filmmaking .\nconsidering the peculiar state of film production in manipur , women coming forward to produce films is all the more remarkable . there is no state support for filmmaking , and there are no cinema halls that project on celluloid in manipur . many of them have turned into shopping malls and schools . so , to actually make a movie , in a place where there are no cinema halls , is quite daring and for women to come together and do that is totally something .\nenter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email .\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\nthis video is no longer available because the youtube account associated with this video has been terminated .\nurikhinbam devita devi is home after a week - long shoot in tripura . but the manipuri superstar can\u0092t put her feet up yet . she has to get up at the crack of dawn for another bout of filming at kakching , 60 kilometres from imphal . devita , 25 , is racing against time to finish work on her second home production \u0097 gobrindage sarikmakhal ( sound of bells ) .\nthere is a reason devita would rather make her own films than work in others\u0092 productions . \u0093i want to make meaningful cinema with women - centric roles , \u0094 says devita who shot into fame as an actor in the 2008 film lakhipurgee lakhipyari ( lakhipyari of lakhipur ) .\nlike devita , more and more manipuri women are producing films . the manipuri film industry \u0097 locally known as mollywood \u0097 has so far been dominated by men . but in recent times , women have been seeking a toehold \u0097 and they are doing so by becoming producers .\n\u0093in most of our films , the protagonist is a man , \u0094 says devita . as a film producer , she feels she can change that . her 2008 hit echan , produced by her banner , ibhudhou thangjing film productions , also had a woman lead .\nmore than 20 of the 65 producers registered with the all manipur video film makers and producers association ( amvfmpa ) \u0097 a federation of filmmakers \u0097 are women . and most of them are also successful actors .\nsome of the actors believe that film production is financially more viable than acting . \u0093new faces pop up every day and the bitter truth is that lead roles don\u0092t come after a point of time , \u0094 says actor - producer saikham kamla , 24 . \u0093the best option is to become a producer to keep the cash registers ringing , \u0094 says kamla , who formed her production house \u0097 sai media productions \u0097 two years ago after starring in over 120 films in five years . her debut production \u0097 nagsu mouni ( you are a woman too ) collected rs 6 lakh \u0097 almost double the sum she invested .\nin some cases though , production is the way to finding fame as an actor . marina laihingbam was only 20 when she borrowed rs 4 lakh from her father to produce radha rani , six years ago . \u0093the film was a big hit and i earned six times the sum i had invested , \u0094 says laihingbam , who has played the lead in eight other films she has produced so far .\nanother reason women are turning producers is that it doesn\u0092t take much to fund a film . compared to the big brothers \u0097 tollywood or the much bigger bollywood \u0097 the rs 4 - crore manipuri film industry runs on a small scale .\nlocal film production picked up after the outlawed revolutionary people\u0092s front banned the screening of bollywood films in 2001 by branding them \u0093obscene\u0094 . more than 150 manipuri films are released every year . most are shot on digital tapes with budgets as low as rs 3 - 6 lakh .\nin the initial years after the ban , manipuris focused on producing music albums . \u0093but in 2004 , a similar ban was imposed on music albums . since then , film production has boomed , \u0094 says cinematographer l . surjakanta . \u0093though a large number of movies flop , youngsters still want to try their luck as even a moderately successful film can fetch them a profit of 20 to 30 per cent . in this poverty stricken state , filmmaking has become an option for earning quick fame and easy money . \u0094\nthe rs 18 - lakh film was critically acclaimed but a commercial dud . \u0093we couldn\u0092t earn more than rs 1 . 5 lakh , \u0094 sighs saroja .\nmany of the women producers deal with issues that trouble manipuri society . sunitibala points out that the six producers\u0092 future projects include films on issues such as militancy , drug abuse among youngsters and aids .\ndevita is planning a film on manipuri activist irom sharmila , who has been on a fast for the past 10 years demanding the repeal of the armed forces special powers act . but the film forum , a regulatory body that vets every project , has not given her permission yet for the film , she says .\nanother woman producer , bandana , complains that the state doesn\u0092t encourage filmmakers to focus on \u0093real\u0094 issues . \u0093i wanted to make a film on growing prostitution in manipur but i didn\u0092t get permission to shoot in the red light area , \u0094 she says .\nwhile film production has become a career for young women in a state plagued by unrest and unemployment , the government has not been of much help to the industry . the 30 - year - old manipuri film industry , which has produced such gems as matam gee manipur , supports at least 10 , 000 families . but the film sector has been striving for a studio , film laboratory and post - production equipment . \u0093the lack of support from the government has led to a fall in the quality of films . more than 58 cinema halls are defunct now , \u0094 says filmmaker salam birendra .\nthe women filmmakers also complain of gender bias . \u0093in this male dominated and conservative film industry , the sudden surge of women filmmakers is not welcomed , \u0094 says diana potsangbam , a producer and the sole woman director in mollywood .\nsociologists say it will be a while before female producers are accepted by their male counterparts as able professionals . \u0093even though women from all economic strata step out of their homes to earn a livelihood , there is barely any respect for them in our society . the film industry is no exception , \u0094 says n . vijaylakshmi brara of the centre for manipur studies at manipur university .\namvfmpa chief ningthouja lancha says steps are being taken to encourage participation of women in filmmaking . \u0093we are organising special workshops . we would also like to propose to the state government that it provide them financial aid , \u0094 he says .\nfor the present , the women are happy with the promises \u0097 and hope that they will lead to bigger dreams . \u0093i want to produce a bollywood film one day and get national recognition , \u0094 says devita .\nbollywood had better look out . in manipur , dreams often merge with reality .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nto preserve integrity , urltoken allows ratings / comments only with a valid email . your comments will be accepted once you give your email , and will be deleted if the email is not authenticated within 24 hours .\n\u00a9 copyright 1999 -

day festival which was inaugurated by bollywood superstar shah rukh khan here on november 23 .\nthough this year iffi had its share of controversies , it was still acknowledged as a smooth event and marked improvement over the previous years , both in terms of the arrangements and quality of films selected for various sections of the festivals and overall atmosphere .\nthe directorate of film festival received praise from no less a person than celebrated filmmaker adoor gopalakrishnan for giving ' a sort of character ' to it .\nhe , however stressed the need for handling it more professionally and promoting it more intensively to give it an international reputatiion .\nin this context , it was learnt from official sources that the government was actively considering floating a body with members drawn from the dff , esg and other bodies concerned like the nfdc and films division , to handle the affairs of iffi throughout the year .\nthe new computerised ticketing system for delegates introduced this time was a success and helped in avoiding large queues .\nhowever , friction betwen the dff , which is under the union ministry of information and broadcasting and the state government backed goa entertainment society in certain spheres , was evident .\nthe festival began with the screening of palme d ' or winning romanian film ' ' four months , three weeks and two days ' ' by c istian mungiu . malyalam film ' ore kadal ' directed by shyamaprasad had opened the feature films section of the indian panorama while ' bagher bacha ' ( bengali ) directed by bishnu dev halder was the inaugural film of the non - feature section of the festival .\nduring the festival , films by celebrated filmmakers from all over the world were screened .\namong the highlights of the festival was the premiere of the amitabh starrer ' the last lear ' ( english ) dircted by noted bengali filmmaker ritupurno ghosh . the film has already been premiered in the toronto film festival .\npakistani film ' khuda kay liye ' in which naseeruddin shah makes a guest appearance , also evoked great interest among the delegates .\ndirected by shoaib mansoor , the thought - provoking drama focused on the dilemma of progressive muslims in the country because of their modern approach towards life .\napart from the first pakistani entry in the iffi in the competition section , georgia also made its debut in the prestigious event with its film ' svani ' .\nthis time 14 films , including two indian , from 13 countries , competed for the prestigious golden peacock award , which carries a medal and rs 10 lakh . the best director award went to pongpat wachirabunjong of thailand for his film ' me myself ' . a special jury award was shared by bangladesh film director golam rabanny biplab for his film ' on the wings of dreams ' and child artiste urbili for ' more than anything in the world ' .\nthe competition section had films from asian , african and latin american countries . they were ' on the wings of dreams ' by golam rabbany biplab ( bangladesh ) , ' me myself ' by pongpat wachirabunjong ( thailand ) , ' the debt ' by assaf bernstein ( israel ) , ' the satanic angels ' by ahmed boulane ( morocco ) , ' a ton of luck ' by rodrigo triana ( columbia ) , ' the postmodern life of my aunt ' by ann hui ( china ) , ' the wall ' by lin chin ju ( taiwan ) , ' olga , victoria olga time without time ' by mercedes farriols ( argentina ) , ' mas que a nada en el mundo ' by andrs leon becker ( mexico ) , ' cruel embrace ' by anuradha jaisinghe ( sri lanka ) , ' svani ' by soso and badri jachvliani ( georgia ) and ' ek nadir galpo ' by samir chanda and ' rathrimazha ' by lenin rajendran ( both from india ) .\nthe hindi cinema was represented by ' dharm ' directed by bhavna talwar and ' gafla ' directed by sameer hanchate .\nas a special tribute to noted film directors tapan sinha and vijay anand special retrospectives of their films titled ' lest we forget ' and ' an eternal romantic - - vijay anand ' , were screened , besides retrospectives of ingmar bergman and three landmark kannada films by a generation of filmmakers inspired by a literary movement ' navya movement ' in kannada languages , also called the ' literary modernism will ' .\nthe festival also screened films as a homage to veteran music director op nayyar , marathi actress vanamala devi , renowned cinematographer k k mahajan and veteran manipuri director aribam syam sharma ' s film ' ishanou ' .\ncelebrated malyalam director adoor gopalakrishnan ' s films featured in the master classes section of the festival .\nin addition , three films curated by the goa government and four by the films division were screened in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the country ' s independence .\nthe festival also had four films on aids awareness directed by noted filmmakers mira nair , vishal bhardwaj , santosh sivan and farhan akhtar in the film india worldwide sectiion introduced in the festival for the first time .\napart from this , aribam syam sharma ' s 58 - minute documentary ' ' rajarshi bhagyachandra of manipur ' ' and haobam paban kumar ' s 19 - minute short fiction ' ' ngaihak lambida ' ' were among the 15 non - feature films .\nsimilarly , the absence of bollywood megastar amitabh bachchan at the special screening of his first english film ' the last lear ' also raised eyebrows renewing speculations about the continuing reported confrontation between the legendary actor and the central government . however , information and broadcasting minister priya ranjan dasmunsi wondered why the issue was raised in the media .\n' ' amitabh is an icon and the face of the indian film industry in india and abroad . he was honoured with a national award for his performance recently , ' ' he said .\nwhile the dff maintained that the cast and crew of participating films in the festival were always welcome and did not need special invitations .\nthe festival passed off peacefully except for a women organisations ' demonstration in goa against the sale of liquor on the festival premises including setting up of a media lounge by a well known liquor brand for making available hard drinks free of cost to journalists . the media lounge was closed after protests from the goa union of journalists ( guj ) .\nthe\noneindia\nword mark and logo are owned by urltoken digitech media pvt . ltd .\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . this includes cookies from third party social media websites and ad networks . such third party cookies may track your use on oneindia sites for better rendering . our partners use cookies to ensure we show you advertising that is relevant to you . if you continue without changing your settings , we ' ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on oneindia website . however , you can change your cookie settings at any time . learn more"]}

predictably enough - unlike any of the other film attempts made last year to remind the world of the one step into folly taken by mankind at the beginning of the last century which somehow .\nas the son of a wwi vet , ermanno olmi has a personal connection to the \u201cwar to end all wars . \u201d perhaps that\u2019s why his \u201cgreenery will bloom again\u201d is so reverential \u2014 reverential to the point of being frozen . beautifully lensed scenes in the snow - covered trenches of northern italy testify to the master\u2019s 55 years in the director\u2019s chair , yet this unexpected return to feature filmmaking , set among a company of soldiers battered by austrian shelling , lacks the fullness of vision that graced \u201cthe profession of arms . \u201d local play and reviews in november were respectable , but \u201cgreenery\u201d is unlikely to bloom outside scattered fests and retrospectives .\nlast year\u2019s world war i centenary produced a number of commemorations and special events but few films . one filmmaker who found inspiration in a war his own father fought is ermanno olmi . showing once again that he is among italy\u2019s most masterful and humanistic directors , he evokes the terror of combat in the short but effective greenery will bloom again ( torneranno i prati ) . the nonsensical english title doesn ' t do justice to this rigorous story and would sound far better in a more literal translation like \u201cthe meadows will return . \u201d completed last fall , the film enjoyed a brief release in italy and had some playdates in the us and uk before landing in berlin as a berlinale special . positive critical response could help bring it to more international audiences .\nbut somehow , next to the horrors served on a daily basis by every single audio - visual channel in the world , this impressively stylised plea to put a stop to the self - destructive madness humanity seems bent on , looks almost like civilized reminiscences of another time and place , which may seem almost exotic to a younger audience . as for the film\u2019s motto , \u201cwar is an ugly beast that wanders the earth and never comes to a halt\u201d , it suggests the acceptance of this madness as a kind of divine curse we\u2019ll never be rid of . and the only thing that will not be affected is the nature that will bloom again , until the next war breaks out .\nthis shopping feature will continue to load items . in order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading .\nthis will not play on most dvd players sold in the u . s . , u . s . territories , canada , and bermuda . see other dvd options under \u201cother formats & versions\u201d . learn more about dvd region specifications\nauteur ermanno olmi , whose six decade career spans masterpieces like il posto and the tree of wooden clogs , again demonstrates he is among italy\u2019s most masterful directors , as he evokes the terror of war in this short but stunningly effective and hypnotising film , reminiscent of terrence malick\u2019s the thin red line .\nthe most powerful elements of \u201cgreenery\u201d come from the contrast between the darkly lit trench interiors and the vast white landscape around them , punctuated by shells striking the unit\u2019s position . at first just heard in the distant valley below , the mortar blasts inevitably hit much closer to the soldiers\u2019 coordinates , and the staging of the explosions is particularly well handled ( though the nonstop muted din of bursting shells in \u201cjourney\u2019s end\u201d created a more effective state of claustrophobic madness ) . inevitably , olmi fans will make comparisons with \u201cthe profession of arms , \u201d yet these are two very different conflicts , and the previous film offered a more complete picture of character and period .\nthe fuse is lit by the arrival of a major , who tells the feverish captain that he must follow a senseless , suicidal order . in the tense face - off that follows , the captain disdainfully strips himself of his own rank . the bunker is bombarded , and a retreat is ordered . the dead are buried in the snow , where they will wait for the spring thaw .\nworking , as he always prefers to , with non - professionals whose anonymous but eloquent features are more effectively striking than anything a famous face might convey , olmi\u2019s austere restraint and slow pace underline the dread hovering every moment of the proceedings . a strangled scream of anguish controlled by a master , this is bound to be appreciated by audiences that will not be scared away by the theme .\nfor auds well versed in history , \u201cgreenery\u201d not only brings no new insight , but also recycles the common perception of a senseless war in which officers sent foot soldiers out to die ( in fact , there was a higher percentage of mortality in the officer class than among the rank - and - file ) . viewers with little background knowledge \u2014 the film is available to all high schools interested in screenings \u2014 are unlikely to get involved emotionally , largely because the characters mostly remain nameless , and while the pressures of a certain type of trench warfare are felt , the movie takes an entirely too respectful , slowed approach to truly grab the uninitiated .\nolmi , who will soon be 84 , may have never been a great storyteller , but very few filmmakers can hold a candle to his talent as a mood setter . he chose his locations in remote corners of the wintery alto adige mountains , shooting mostly at night , using for background the vast , spectacular stretches of snow - covered slopes , sprinkled with dark shadows of the pine forests spread over them , a pale moon and the occasional flares sent up life brief comets across the sky , the only lights shed over the scenery .\nphotographed by the trusty fabio olmi in such drained color that most ( not all ) of the shots seem to be in black and white , the story is set in a cold mountain bunker on the northeastern front , so close to the austrian trenches that the italian soldiers \u201ccan almost hear them breathe\n. their outpost is buried in deep snow and the dirty , bedraggled men are forced to sleep on boards in the freezing cold .\nthough lacking the dazzling narrative complexity of his two previous anti - war films , the profession of arms about the fervent papal commander giovanni de\u2019 medici and the chinese fantasy singing behind the screens , this harrowing drama follows the minimalist path to devastating effect . the tension rises palpably scene by scene . there is nothing new here , no great insights into the suffering of soldiers at the front that hasn\u2019t been shown elsewhere , but the intensity of the central scenes is riveting , almost shocking .\nthe actors are so bundled up and swathed in wool that only their smudged faces are visible , yet each is highly individual and communicates a different reaction to the god - forsaken situation he finds himself in . many of the enlisted men are simple farmers ; one is a miner . several share a bit of their lives in an aside to the camera . olmi\u2019s screenplay foregoes the standard division of characters into good and evil , friends and foes , as when a neapolitan soldier stands on a hill at night singing piercing love songs for both armies to hear .\nthe film also avoids allotting easy blame . the relationship of deep friendship and respect between the bad - news major , played by the film\u2019s only star claudio santamaria , and the exhausted captain ( francesco formichetti ) is surprisingly human . no voice is raised . when the major leaves behind his young , inexperienced lieutenant ( alessandro sperduti ) to take the captain\u2019s place , it seems like the boy is being set up for disaster , but olmi doesn\u2019t waste precious screen time on cliches . the film lasts just a concise 78 minutes .\nthe final tagline , \u201cwar is an ugly beast that wanders the earth and never comes to a halt , \u201d sums up the spirit of it all .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ntorneranno i prati is a movie starring claudio santamaria , camillo grassi , and niccol\u00f2 senni . a group of soldiers face the difficulty of war during one night at the italian front .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nwhen a group of african immigrants builds a cardboard village between the pews of a church soon to be closed , an elderly priest must choose between his calling and his orders .\nthe history of the first victim of modern artillery and its moving agony , amidst conspiracies and betrayals of the powerful . life and death of giovanni de ' medici , a young brave captain in . . . see full summary \u00bb\nan italian professor seeks refuge in the quiet , peaceful ruins of an old building .\nthe assuming of responsibility by individuals , the use of science for man and not against him , the duty of truth to increase the stature of people , all together : these are the important . . . see full summary \u00bb\na young man enters a brothel and sees a staged narration of a chinese folk tale concerning a female pirate .\nthere are five reasons for drinking : a friend ' s arrival , the excellence of the wine , present and future thirst , and whatever else you care to add\n. ermanno olmi has returned to documentary . . . see full summary \u00bb\ntwo middle -

fi movies and tv shows available to stream with prime video .\nin this seventy - two - minute feature , the octogenarian ermanno olmi depicts the physical and emotional torment of italian soldiers enduring combat in subterranean barracks beneath snow - packed fields during the first world war . his anecdotal narrative\u2014based on tales he heard from his father , a veteran\u2014sardonically reflects the randomness of death , as well as the unforeseeable displays of courage and outbursts of revolt at moments of crisis . life hangs on the strength of a telephone wire , rampant disease ravages esprit de corps , and the enemy\u2019s espionage inspires paranoid anxiety . over - all , the movie offers little of the visual poetry and analysis that made olmi\u2019s name , but , in a remarkable scene near the end , a literary soldier composes a letter to his mother and recites it directly to the camera , followed by a montage of archival footage . the sequence delivers an aesthetic shock , and launches the film beyond the narrow confines of the action . with an intimate simplicity , olmi evokes the decades of political and social upheavals throughout europe that followed the fragile peace , suggesting the colossal toll of all wars . his story points past the second world war and into modern times . in italian .\nermanno olmi delivers an overly reverential glimpse at trench warfare in the italian alps .\nclaudio santamaria , alessandro sperduti , francesco formichetti , andrea di maria , camillo grassi , niccolo senni , domenico benetti , andrea benetti , andrea frigo , franz stefani , igor pistollato , carlo stefani , giorgio vellar , roberto rigoni stern , davide rigoni , sam ursida , niccolo tredese , francesco nardelli , brais vallarin .\nthe film world has been distressingly sluggish in acknowledging wwi\u2019s centenary , so while it\u2019s encouraging to have someone of olmi\u2019s stature address the horrors of the conflict , the result adds little to the list of superb pics \u2014 \u201cthe big parade , \u201d \u201cwooden crosses , \u201d \u201call quiet on the western front , \u201d et al . \u2014 to deal head -

maundy thursday always takes place on the thursday before easter sunday \u2013 the day on which christians celebrate jesus ' last supper . the queen marks it by giving out special silver coins , known as ' maundy money ' to local pensioners .\neaster is christianity\u2019s most important festival , and some will visit churches to mark maundy thursday , though most people in iceland will stay home and relax .\nthe yeomen of the guard carry in trays of maundy money during the traditional . . .\nthe film is about a convicted murderer awaiting execution , and the bond he forms with a suicidal young woman who starts visiting him in jail every thursday .\nthe royal maundy was traditionally about giving alms to poor pensioners . the number chosen reflects the monarch ' s age .\nthe queen has handed out commemorative maundy coins for the 60th time as she undertook the pre - easter tradition in sheffield cathedral .\nthe queen will visit leicester cathedral for the annual maundy service . accompanied by his royal highness the duke of edinburgh , her majesty will observe the tradition of handing out maundy money to 91 men and 91 women . the maundy service begins at 11 . 00am and will be preluded by a convoy around the city centre beginning at humberstone gate and ending at jubilee square . big screens on jubilee square and beside the clock tower will broadcast the service and parade .\nmaundy thursday can be easily missed , as it\u2019s not the most romantic story out there nor the most complex psychological account but it\u2019s one of those little ones that can make quite an impression on the viewer if given the chance . it also teaches the lesson of getting to know someone before judging them , as eyes really can be deceiving , and that\u2019s the most important thing you can gain from film ; a lesson in life .\nimpending death is often the impetus for romance in korean films , but maundy thursday is a bit different from the rest . based on kong ji young ' s famous novel , maundy thursday is both a tender love story and a sensitive look at the capital punishment system . the title refers to holy thursday , or the feast day before easter commemorating the last supper , and the film makes use of the stolen time between uncertain life and certain death to present an unlikely romance about a suicidal young woman and a death row prisoner . director song hae sung ( failan ) and actors kang dong won ( duelist ) and lee na young ( who are you ? ) paint a delicate portrait with compelling characters , subtle political undertones , and commentary on the value of life . university lecturer yu jung ( lee na young ) does not trust her surroundings and does not believe in love . troubled by a traumatic past , she has attempted suicide many times . at her aunt ' s urging , she reluctantly enters therapy and meets convicted murderer and death row prisoner yun su ( kang dong won ) . drawn to each other , two people with no will to live find a new motivation for life : a meeting every thursday from 10 a . m . to 1 p . m .\nmaundy money as such started in the reign of charles ii with an undated issue of hammered coins in 1662 . the coins were a four penny , three penny , two penny and one penny piece but it was not until 1670 that a dated set of all four coins appeared . prior to this , ordinary coinage was used for maundy gifts , silver pennies alone being used by the tudors and stuarts for the ceremony .\ngrowing up , who do we tend to lend our hearts to ?

( much of the screen time that passes before her appearance feels like wasted time , to be honest ) . originally appearing mostly on tv , na ' s first film role was in kim jee - woon ' s\nwhenever a great film is made by a pair of co - directors , it is tempting to wonder who among the two is the truly talented one . was the real genius behind\naround drama rather than gore or technique . the film ' s emotional kick emerges from its claustrophobic setting , and the young actresses are good enough to keep us interested in the story as it unfolds . pleasingly enough , however , the film also makes sense from a logical and dramatic point of view - - something not to be taken for granted in most korean horror films .\nwe know from genre conventions that thunder will return and that certain sports genre tropes will intrude . even nationalism , a common motif in sports genre films , rears its horse ' s rear end since much is made of the fact that thunder ' s ability is doubted since he is a korean - bred horse . the occasional cliched feel of these requisite moments , particularly the meet - cutes , keep this film from being a great film . but the fact that the genre - demanded male love interest is jettisoned and si - eun ' s character exhibits several shining moments of nicely flowing , feminist agency ? the most powerful being her intrusion into the privileged male space of the locker room to confront a colleague whose ( lack of ) sporting ethics put another colleague in danger ? make this a film that expands the genre enough to placate both those who insist on genre demands and those who insist on something original . although i can ' t say the film is a stellar piece of work , i resolve to let the film be what it is , a decent film within the young adult , coming - of - age genre . (\nmay not have been what teenage fans were expecting , but director e has nonetheless given us a highly original and satisfying film , assuming you go in with the right expectations . basically , he has taken the original comic ' s spirit of transgression and transformed it into a film that defies the mainstream in other , quieter ways . if korean society often portrays itself as being homogenous ,\nin the movie ' s monumentally unexciting climax . i am going to echo djuna ' s sentiment in this regard : korean filmmakers , if you are embarrassed about making a horror film , then\nis a different sort of action film , one that largely avoids impressive displays of physical movement , and instead focuses on the gritty , sensual aspects of fighting . set in a grim , ugly - looking town where the people seem motivated by boredom rather than any enthusiasm for life , the film is most memorable for its black humor and the great presence shown by its two lead actors .\n) is a struggling film director whose last film failed at the box office . some soft - spoken gangsters use this as an opportunity to force man - soo into using his director skills to create a faux - north korea with a haphazard collection of actors . the gangsters will fund this endeavor because the gang boss wishes to provide this facade for his dementia - stricken father . the film begins with a nice use of text , ( a common enough presence in south korean cinema to warrant its own dissertation ) , that would ruin the joke if i said any more about it . along with providing film industry insider commentary within the film , the gangsters ' misunderstandings about the film funding process begin the underlying theme of misunderstandings of memory and history that are present throughout the film . man - soo is mistaken for the gang boss by the gang boss ' s grandfather when they meet and man - soo begins to take on this identity for the grandfather , a grandfather who alludes to all the\ngrandfathers\nand\ngrandmothers\nwho have memories of the northern homes of their youth that they will never be able to reinforce and question by returning to the north before their deaths . scenes are enacted and re - enacted based on ambiguous and questionable recollections of the historical past and questionable conceptualizations of the hermit country to the north , all while trying to avoid the intrusion of the realities of the present from disrupting what is believed to be grandfather ' s wish . the importance of place and space to our memory is wonderfully portrayed throughout the film .\n, was never released in theaters ) . tv stations like mbc have not been much involved in the film industry to date , but the start of broadcasting in hd format has created a new demand for these type of films . son picked two well - known but not particularly in demand actors , park yong - woo and choi gang - hee , and quietly set about shooting his film .\n) does not star in this movie . she is prominently featured in the trailer but her screen time is much shorter than that given to blofeld ' s persian cat in a james bond film .\nas my favorite korean film of this decade . every scene of the latter work is golden , and the more you watch it , the more it resonates as a haunting , brilliantly - shaped composition .\nlike the earlier film , it seems to say more than one ever expects to hear in popular revolutionary literature , where ideas and feelings are supposed to be recognized and accommodated by even the dimmest minds .\n. and perhaps nothing supports leesong ' s film of hope more than the smiles on the faces of many of us who watched this ground - breaking film , smiles shared on the faces of su - min and jae - min ( lee han ) as they survive the tragedy that surrounds them , reminding us that until we can live honestly with ourselves in all countries , such tragedy surrounds us all . (\nbegins with an actual news montage chronicling the explosive rise of meth use in the busan area following the 1997 imf crisis . the film then introduces two protagonists : sang - do ( ryoo seung - beom from\nr : what distinguishes it from any other run - of - the - mill japanese or korean horror film ? ymk : nothing . um , okay , that ' s not quite true . this movie is\nthe film itself is directed with an earthy appreciation for korea ' s half - developed , concrete - filled countryside . the polar opposite of the bright colors and glossy cinematography that characterize most contemporary korean films ,\nfor me this is not the sort of synopsis that inspires great confidence , and the first 20 minutes of the film seemed only to confirm my worst fears . the fetching young actress kim a - jung (\nis well acted and capably put together , with a mostly predictable but engrossing narrative . yet the film leaves you with an odd sense of emptiness . part of this may be due to the inherent pessimism in the work , and its portrayal of a town where life is bleak and unlikely to improve . yet on a cinematic level too , one wishes that there were just a bit more substance to the film . ultimately\n, is a difficult film to talk about spoiler - free . you just have to expose the first surprise to make any sense and even the advertising blurbs know this and do just that . but knowing this surprise doesn ' t ruin the film because this is a melodrama and certain things are ' known ' to happen within the genre . it ' s the getting there that ' s more than half the fun .\n, a film he would also direct . that film was released in 2005 and , from what i ' ve been told , is apparently , similar to becker ' s film . however , due to its time of origin and the unlikelihood that becker and jo kick it together , jo ' s script should not be seen as a copycat but as an example of parallel evolution . both germany and korea have been divided . ( do i need to state the obvious that germany isn ' t now and korea still is ? ok , i just did . ) so it makes complete sense that the creatives in each country might come up with such a scenario as having to fake the memories of their estranged twin nation to appease the minds of an elder . as for yeo ' s film , that arose from mutual conversations he had with jo back in 1997 and in no way was inspired or copied from becker ' s film . becker does not own this theme of divided memories anymore than yeo or jo do . that said , let me summarize the plot .\n, and over $ 16 million worth of tickets sold . this from a film that was expected to earn back maybe half of its little budget . hopefully this will encourage korean producers to keep trying new things . (\nis not a horror film . it ' s way scarier than that . shin presents a moral dilemma most of us , thankfully , will never have to face . but for those who do , i don ' t know how they could possibly survive . but that is exactly what shin explores in this film , how to survive extreme moral tragedy , pondering if forgiveness is indeed ever possible considering the nature of certain humanly - wrought calamities .\n, which world - premiered at piff ' s 11th edition . telling you what i fear most would cause me to reveal the all too important and too horrifying plot twist of this film , so let me just clarify that\nin 2010 he scored an acting coup by being cast opposite acclaimed veteran actor song kang - ho in jang hoon ' s spy film secret reunion . [ 22 ] [ 23 ] [ 24 ] it became one of the biggest korean box office hits of 2010 , with over 5 million tickets sold . he then joined the busan - centered omnibus camellia , starring in jang joon - hwan ' s short film love for sale . [ 25 ]\nthe film ' s soft and fluffy setup outlined above is ultimately overwritten by darker and more interesting plot developments - - like a romantic comedy left out on the counter that starts to turn black . park plays his role , as he is meant to , like a cheerful and stupid puppy who can ' t see what he ' s got coming . in contrast , choi gang - hee , whose only major film role before this was in the original\n( 2005 ) , had a huge summer blockbuster opening , commanding more than 550 screens in the opening week . while it was by no means a commercial disaster , the film ' s final tally of box office tickets sold was around 3 , 880 , 000 tickets nationwide , falling short of the film ' s break - even point of approximately 4 . 5 million tickets and trampled flat by the monster - tadpole - from - han - river movie\nsuffers from serious budgetary constraints and a general lack of visual imagination . asian horror fans looking for some outrageous , gymnastic scare tactics will be sorely disappointed by the film ' s low - octane ( timid ? ) approach . yet , for a low - budget , hd - lensed quickie , essentially a made - for - tv movie , the film manages to retain its dignity , and is in many ways superior to ahn ' s higher - profile\nthat it is well - acted and always engaging , if awkward and uneven at times . i also found it refreshing to watch a film from kim that was neither outrageously misogynist nor out to make a deep philosophical point . the ending doesn ' t quite work , but strangely i find myself left with good memories of watching this film . am i going soft on kim ki - duk , or was i just in a good mood that day ? (\nabout a convicted murderer awaiting execution , and the bond he forms with a suicidal young woman who starts visiting him in jail every thursday . yu - jung ( lee na - young ) has now attempted her third suicide attempt . her disdain for her mother and indifference to the rest of the world , isolates her from any chance for happiness . yu - jung also has an aunt named sister monica . her aunt often goes to prison to meet with death row inmates . sister monica meets a new death row inmate , who asks sister monica if he could meet her niece yu - jung . sister monica asks yu - jung if she would counsel this death row inmate and yu - jung reluctantly agrees to do so .\nthe context of the film is the recession south korea was experiencing at the time this film was made . ho - jun struggles with his masculinity and his entitlements along with his general asocial tendencies that his immersion in film only exacerbates . there ' s a compelling scene in a multiplex theater that is screening , of all things , an obscure turkish film , where ho - jun ' s attempt to recover from economic wounds only makes him more pathetic . he lambastes the manager for not supporting independent cinema when in fact it is . hell , the theater he ' s kicked out of is packed and its packed capacity is partly responsible for getting him kicked out , since he tried to sneak into a better seat other than the one he was assigned . ( south korean movie theaters require you to purchase tickets where you are assigned a specific seat . ) ho - jun is a character who is clearly his own worst enemy .\n. first , there is how everyone appears to move listlessly through the film , as if walking through a viscuous liquid , or as if carrying a heavy burden , such as soon - hee ' s ( ji liu lian ) excruciatingly slow pedalling of her kim - chee cart across the screen . and second , there is the prevalence of frames within frames , the centering of a doorway within the film frame where we watch what happens on screen and infer what happens beyond the border of the doorway . for those unfamiliar with film theory terms , what happens within the frame is called\ndiegetic\nwhile that which happens outside the frame is\nnon - diegetic .\nwhat is lovely about zhang ' s\n, the cult horror film from 1999 that is well remembered for its nuanced and haunting portrait of a girls ' high school . yet we may have to get used to the idea that min kyu - dong , who went on to direct\nthat\u2019s the whole purpose of the film : forgiveness . by the end of it , one cannot help but question over the controversial subject of the death penalty . i appreciate it for not being one of those works that is created with the sole purpose of delivering one definite message or belief across \u2014 but rather gets you thinking about what your honest opinions are . does it really define justice ? is it fair to them ? what if they\u2019re truly regretful over what they have done ? that is all up to the viewers to judge for themselves . the film doesn\u2019t dictate to us what is right and what is wrong , which is a decision that i appreciate ; it certainly adds a sense of profundity to the film .\n\u201cthe last supper , \u201d which opens today at the 68th street playhotise , is not an easy film . it has something of the haunted , guilt\u2010ridden manner . of the count , the character who dominates the film and who remains forever mysterious . it ' s not , i think , that the director or nelson villagra , who plays the count , withhold information . it is , rather , that the truth of human behavior can never be more than action observed . the rest is speculation .\nwon over critical praise to go with its commercial success ; and the 11th pusan international film festival boasted a large number of independent films that stirred up excitement among critics . a number of films shot in a more commercial vein , such as gangster movie\nthe film also treats narrative in the same relaxed way it engages moral issues . largely episodic in nature , it will linger on one character ' s concerns and actions for a certain period of time before dropping it and moving on to another character . although most screen time is spent on kim ok - bin ' s\ngirl who carries poverty on her back\n, attention is also paid to other characters who have little or no relation to her . even in the latter part of the film , there are few signs of the plot coalescing into a decisive conclusion ; instead , the film takes its time exploring the corners of its world and the characters that inhabit it . the director even throws in a few catchy song - and - dance numbers .\n- - the final screenplay has ended up differing quite a bit from the source material . it ' s tempting to try to tease some sort of social insight out of the film , given the rage for plastic surgery among young koreans ( for men as much as women ) . i ' m not sure the film really supports this , however - - ultimately it ' s just an entertaining comedy with nothing particularly new to say . nonetheless , korean audiences were certainly charmed , as they bought a stunning 6 . 5 million tickets , for a box office take of about $ 45 million . it may be\nhard to be a beauty\n( the original korean title of this film ) , but it certainly doesn ' t hurt ticket sales . (\n' s debut film picks up momentum and develops into one of the season ' s most enjoyable comedies . much of this can be credited to the decision to cast actor bong tae - gyu in the lead role . after injecting similar life into romantic comedy\n. i think a korean filmmaker can legitimately criticize the right - wing turn in japanese politics and tie it to the undealt - with legacy of japanese imperialism of a half - century ago , and still make a thoughtful , persuasive , even entertaining film .\nsometimes it seems that western film critics look down on asian films that take family issues seriously , compared to ( for example ) the hip , ironic portrayals of family breakdown seen in many u . s . independent films . when im sang - soo ' s\nedited by anne l . bower . and his slow , lumbering style is not just for show , for it is syntonic with the environment and lives of the characters on screen . equally congruent is zhang ' s stationary camera , because even though the characters are moving , albeit slowly , they still appear to remain in the same place , further underscored by the kim - chee cart peddling and dancers parading in one direction early on in the film and then later in the opposite direction . we can add to this the non - diegetic diegetic space of the doorways and windows , for both are entry and exit ways , underscoring the feelings of inevitability that trap soon - hee . and the overall pace of all inactive actions of the majority of the film provide a stark contrast to the speed with which soon - hee moves at the end of the film . all this amounts to a powerful film about the sisyphean uphill climb of flat , false assumptions about who we are and can be and what we ' re capable of when all hope is lost . (\nfeels like an expanded version of a student thesis film that ' s a little too much in love with its own cleverness . in particular , the screenplay , for me , did not live up to its reputation . a handgun makes an appearance only at the requisite\n. at this point , professor kim is wishing that this summer ' s horror film crop turns out to be at least a moderate improvement over the 2004 fiasco . fat chance , like his tummy , but who knows ? me , i would rather wait for another\n, like many korean films loved by certain critics , is ultimately a rather formulaic film , overly concerned with the mechanics of plotting and symbolic representation : you can readily whip up an academic essay , based on this film , on the systematic perpetuation of violence in korean society as driven by capitalist consumption ( nicely\nsignified\nby the professor ' s white mercedes ! ) and oppressive social institutions ( police ! military ! ) . i think truly great films , bloody violent or not , tend to resist this type of pat analysis .\nbut its utter , complete and thorough indifference to any quality we associate with good cinema . ( i won ' t even go into the film ' s historical mindset that directly connects the fall of the joseon monarchy to the film ' s fictional\ncrisis\nfaced by the rok , and pretends that the vast span of korean history between 1895 and 1990 simply\ndid not happen\n- - except to note that it is profoundly wackoid even by the usual\nnationalist\nstandard . when will self - identified\nnationalists\nrealize that\ni really enjoyed the plot line of this film because i felt that it was different to what i usually watched . there was so many sentimental and sweet scenes in this that draw you back to reality . i liked the fact that his love for her was based all because of his childhood and it almost seems as if they were tragic star crossed lovers . the ending scene was so sad but it makes you remember the film more . all his words were so cute and everything he wanted out of the lady was all for his brother\nthe omnibus is a well - meaning , nicely put - together showcase of typical low - budget , indie - film sensibilities . its low - octane , soft - in - the - heart approach and lack of cinematic razzle - dazzle will likely disappoint some viewers . nonetheless ,\n( 2005 ) , bong is emerging as a successor to song kang - ho and ryoo seung - beom , who proved they can be top - notch actors in both comedy and drama . charismatic and funny , he is 80 % of the reason to watch this film .\nnonetheless , e j - yong seemed the perfect choice for such a project , given his demonstrated flair for scandalous topics and his new - generation attitude towards moral issues . a young cast was quickly assembled , headed by actress kim ok - bin ( from the 2005 horror film\n) , a jehovah ' s witness who comes to ho - jun ' s door a second time in an improbable scenario to save ho - jun from being trapped naked in his bathroom , ready to rest him on his bed sprawled out all christ - complex - y . both searching for something beyond their human existence , ho - jun and kye - sang become forced friends and we witness several moments of ho - jun ' s anger at the world , contextualized within an elitism and entitlement that present some nearly hong - ian discomforting moments . the film evolves into a discussion of family , faith , nationalism , war , and film , each of which i found myself appreciating , even if i ' m not able to really say what , if anything , i ' m supposed to\nget\nfrom this film .\n) is the owner of this door . well , he may not be the owner , just the renter , because things aren ' t going well for ho - jun . he ' s a divorced father with a little boy , he ' s out - of work as a film professor , and he ' s never made a film . he ' s also quite irascible , so it ' s compelling that he ' d meet his opposite , the incredibly understanding kye - sang ( kang ji - hwan , who debuted in musical theatre , receiving recognition in\nthough \u201cmemories\u201d looks at the cuban revolution through the eyes of a middle\u2010class intellectual who can ' t bring himself to participate , the film itself is passionately committed . \u201cthe last supper\u201d is about death resurrection , not only about the death and resurrection of freedom , but also of repression .\nwas obviously enhanced by the crowd and their positive reactions to what they were watching . i almost missed this film , but thankfully ran into italian film critic ( and urltoken contributor ) paolo bertolin in the maze of streets in haeundae that confound one ' s sense of cardinal directions . he insisted i get a standing - room ticket for the sold - out show . so i did just that and was one of the lucky standing - room - ers who was able to snag a seat from the late ticket holders . ( piff is notorious for its strict time schedules .\nchoi jung - woo ( born february 17 , 1957 ) is a south korean actor . he began his acting career in theater , then became active as a supporting actor in film and television , notably in the sitcom standby and the procedural dramas god ' s quiz and dr . frost .\n( the original korean title is\ncreature\n) without inserting puns on the word\nmonster .\nthe temptation arises not only because of the subject matter , but because everything about the film - - its scale , its budget , its record - breaking performance at the box office , its overseas potential - - is huge within the context of the local film industry . it is a monster movie - - about a truck - sized mutant that crawls out of the han river and unleashes terror upon the citizens of seoul - - and yet , it is not one . part of\npitches the sappy ending right out the window . the film never labors to provide melodramatic justification for our heroine ' s behavior , due to a troubled childhood or whatever . it doesn ' t transform her into a soft , passive kitten at the story ' s end . korean romances and comedies tend to be loaded with emotional and narrative baggage , but there is none of that here at all . as a viewer it ' s tremendously refreshing . it makes me wonder if this film ' s agnostic attitude would have survived if it were set up as a mainstream , normal - budgeted production .\nin english , tripped out of the gate . viewers familiar with the comic were clearly expecting something far more racy - - to be honest , the film is a bit of a tease ( it ended up being given only a mild 15 + rating ) . it also opened just as monster movie\nbut kim a - jung is the reason to watch this film . i have to say it , kim a - jung is the bomb . not only does she look great , but she does all of the singing on her own and she displays a nice instinct for comedy . when hanna transforms herself , she becomes beautiful but doesn ' t really\nact\nbeautiful , having grown up as someone almost universally looked down on . kim manages to capture this element of the role nicely , even when it gets rather heavy - handed towards the film ' s end . when this film was in the casting stage , quite a few established actresses turned down the role , including ha ji - won , kim ha - neul , kim hee - sun and ko so - young . it ' s hard to imagine the movie doing nearly as well if any of these other women had been cast .\nmixes more than a few political barbs into its genre cocktail : a bit of sars here , a bit of iraq there . yet it ' s with a black sense of playfulness and absurdity that these satirical quips are delivered to the audience , suggesting that the film ' s chief concerns lie elsewhere .\nin 2014 , kang returned to the big screen in yoon jong - bin ' s period action film kundo : age of the rampant , playing an illegitimate nobleman ' s son who attempts to destroy a group of robin hood - like outlaws in 19th century joseon dynasty . [ 34 ] [ 35 ]\n' s tragic romance is almost entirely carried forward by the film ' s ridiculously attractive stars : directorial help is not quite forthcoming , especially in the second half . particularly groan - inducing is the clumsy montage connecting seon - ho and young - hwa ' s trips to the northern and southern amusement parks .\nnoh dong - seok ' s short\na tough life\ntackles korean racism towards people of the african diaspora . a grade - school - aged boy returns late to a party held at his house where all his friends are waiting . he arrives with his schoolboy crush , a girl who is black . childhood innocence and parental anxieties abound , including a humorous display of internet use in an effort to attempt to resolve a moment of motherly ignorance and childhood inquisitiveness . unfortunately , the impact of his film is reduced somewhat by the occasional moments of less than adept child actors , but noh ' s film still holds itself together well .\n' s reputation overseas will chiefly rely on its action scenes . the film ' s extended climax , featuring four beautiful , white - clad bodyguards beating the bejeesus out of our scrappy heroes and an audacious , beat takeshi - meets - sam peckinpah sequence in which they have to pass through a gauntlet comprised of about two dozen\nexplodes that notion in favor of diversity . hierarchical social structures , too familiar in real - life korea , crumble within the world of the film . social outcasts may still exist at musseulmo high , but interestingly enough it ' s the\nnormal\nstudents who are more often made to feel uncomfortable and unsure of themselves .\n, my favorite film from the 10th anniversary of piff in 2005 . here shin is limiting his scope to the three points of this triangle . although i found the film to drag initially , once the turning point arose , i found myself returning to the beginning with respect for its gradual pace with which to develop the relationships between the characters . and although there are moments that are more surreal than shin appears to intend , such as during the moment when the characters are obviously dealing with a prop rather than something livingly lifeless , the demanding attention of the bigger picture allowed me to ignore where shin ' s technical knowledge and skill failed him .\nfilm momentarily endearing - si - eun ' s trials have nothing whatsoever to do with pursuing a boyfriend . it has everything to do with realizing her agency , specifically jockeying for her position within this male enclave while retaining her ethical tenets of fair play and mutual respect . fellow jockey cheol is misunderstood as a love interest by si - eun ' s roommate , but cheol is clearly a rival ( therefore her equal ) in the vein of any other male sports genre film . yes , the set - ups of si - eun and thunder reuniting after a long absence present them looking longingly at each other as if torn straight out of a romantic comedy , so it can be argued that the genre demands of a male love interest have been displaced onto a horse . ( and this is an area where many could make fun of the film , since these classic hollywood\nmeet cutes\nare overdone and regurgitated often . ) but this love interest is that of the type of love felt between family members , including the family pet , not of the erotic kind . i may not relate to the feelings some have for their animal companions , but i don ' t doubt that love is felt between them , and felt intensely , especially amongst young people , who are the primary target of a film like\n) sinks into a bowl of second banana pudding . lee jung - hwan ' s live - wire primary villain seems to think he is juan peron and his wife evita . at least that goes in sync with the film ' s mortifying reference to tango and its cringe - inducing use of the dance tunes as background music .\nmay warrant a spark of optimism . a co - operative effort between leading production company sidus fnh and broadcaster mbc , the film was conceived as sort of an experiment . its comparatively low budget of $ 800 , 000 meant that neither side was risking a lot of money , so not much pressure was placed on writer / director\nis an omnibus consisting of three short stories and hilariously bizarre opening and closing sequences , taking the stale genre of comedy momentarily away from ' funny ' gangsters and feisty lovers . bizarre is the operative word when describing the film and the characters running through it , and most of the movie takes on the atmosphere of a light - hearted\n, my expectations are hoisted way up for his next film , said to be the final installment of the\nstreet violence\ntrilogy . perhaps in it the older protagonist will finally learn how to either fight back against the system , or renounce violence and stop living as the peculiarly noxious species known as the macho korean male . (\n, drags us deep into the pysche of an emotionally shattered gangster in the hopes of uncovering a hint - - but perhaps only a hint - - of human warmth . in this sense , it ' s a work that relies more than anything on the performance of its lead actors . in this , the film has been fortunate .\n. otherwise , the film presents some wonderful images , such as this white aura that resonates from certain characters and window panes at the beginning , and awkward dialogue throughout that carries you across scene after scene . i don ' t mean that the dialogue is awkward , but that it causes awkward feelings in the characters and , if debut director"]}

budget moviemaking\naccording to mr . mekas , he and warhol joked during the shoot that with the building\u2019s phallic shape , the whole film might be censored as pornography . but \u201cempire\u201d is more like endless foreplay .\nwithout a happy or sad ending , \u201cone night\u201d left audience members with a story to be told and open for interpretation making the film a movie for everyone not just a \u2018rom -

year - old self - taught michigan native who writes , directs and produces an astonishing number of movies each year . he balances his film - making career with a series of $ 395 two - day seminars on how to write , produce , fund and distribute movies . these workshops might also double as a story - finding scheme , since in 2012 he produced a film called mary\u2019s buttons , which was written by a seminar attendee .\nfor all of its foibles , \u201cgood kids\u201d does manage to hit a few poignant emotional beats . a scene where a baked andy accidentally stumbles into the wrong house while searching for his \u201ctennis\u201d client leads to having a heart - to - heart with one of his bro - y peers , conch ( dayo okeniyi ) . conch opens andy\u2019s eyes to the reality that the quartet were never really outcasts , but rather they isolated themselves from the other kids . it\u2019s one of the few interesting scenes in the film , addressing a grey area as to whether those who view themselves as misfits are actually outsiders , or whether they sub - consciously exclude themselves out of self - preservation . the film\u2019s final scene with andy and nora saying their goodbyes is also surprisingly poignant , evoking a denouement of new lost chances and endings , with the promise of new beginnings on the horizon .\nthe four main characters are decently portrayed throughout the film . braun acquits himself adequately to the role andy , and most of the film\u2019s antics revolve around this character , in particular his unexpected summer job as a gigolo / tennis instructor and his online relationship with a girl from india , whom his friends think is a catfish . andy\u2019s shenanigans are mildly amusing at best , and include a montage showing how he serves his \u201ctennis\u201d clients , an unexpected nude escape , and subsequent streaking charge . the best gag involves yogurt , and it will make any woman who\u2019s had a uti clap their hands with vindictive glee . for the most part however , the gang comes off as \u201c american pie \u201d lite . the romance is also something left to be desired . andy\u2019s supposedly long simmering attraction to nora comes out of nowhere , and it feels rather like a plot point that\u2019s been added because it\u2019s an expected trope of the genre , rather than organically weaved into the story . the worn out shtick of \u201cguy is jealous of female friend\u2019s new relationship , tears down and belittles girl\u201d leaves a sour taste , but thankfully nora calls andy out on his behavior .\nandy warhol was a genius , but he could be mean . he loved to make his acolytes squabble . he\u2019d torture visitors by blaring the same pop song over and over .\n\u201candy warhol is the most revolutionary of all filmmakers working today , \u201d jonas mekas , the village voice critic and film pioneer , wrote less than a month after \u201cempire\u201d was shot . last week , over lunch at a bar a few blocks from fuentes , which represents him , mr . mekas , 91 , still voiced the same views on warhol . \u201che was the avant -

anniversary year , the film is being projected by the james fuentes gallery from start to finish .\none of the most magical scenes in steven spielberg\u2019s classic is when e . t . makes elliott and co\u2019s bikes fly . the glowy - fingered alien has telekinetic powers . so why doesn\u2019t he levitate himself at the start of the film and get back on the spaceship before his buddies leave him behind ?\nthere ' s a glimmer of hope for andy when tommy , a new inmate , arrives at the prison , and it turns out he has information that could exonerate his new friend . the warden learns about it , and is none too keen to release into society someone with so much dirt on him . he has tommy murdered , throws andy into solitary for two months , and only releases him once he agrees to keep doing his dirty work .\nthe son of armenian immigrants , richard caspar sarafian was born april 28 , 1930 , in new york city . he attended new york university but \u201cwas a rotten student , \u201d he told the armenian reporter in 2008 , until he took a course in film writing and directing : \u201ci got an a ! \u201d\n\u201cmy first marriage didn\u2019t work out but i definitely identified with what elizabeth was going through , \u201d camp said . \u201ci was going through my divorce when we made this film and i wasn\u2019t planning on getting married again when i shot this . it was emotional for me to watch this and to shoot . \u201d\n\u201cman on the moon\u201d remains one of the most misunderstood great movies of the \u201990s ( a lot of people just saw it as carrey doing kaufman\u2019s greatest hits ) , because it\u2019s really about how andy kaufman sacrificed his identity to showbiz \u2014 and , in doing so , became a herald for the age when entertainment would consume everything in its path , from our dreams to our identities . when kaufman wrestled women , coming on like bobby riggs on steroids and taunting the redneck crowds who turned out to see him , was it a put - on or was it a deep - down reflection of \u201cthe real andy\u201d ? actually , it was the real andy pretending to be what he hated , and realizing that he loved being that way , but mostly because of the reaction it provoked .\nthe warden learns the shocking truth : for almost two decades , andy has been chiseling away at the wall with a rock hammer and hiding his handiwork behind a series of pinup posters procured by red , finally making his escape through the sewer pipes the night before .\n\u201cisabelle was actually the one who advocated for ( allen ) , \u201d baig said . \u201cwe let him read and we knew he was our guy but we played it off like \u2018yeah he\u2019s alright\u2019 and then went into another room and were like \u2018yes he\u2019s ( andy ) \u2019\u201d .\nafter another ten years , red does just that . he discovers that andy left him some spending money , as well as instructions on how to find him . the two friends are reunited on the beach in mexico , with one of most yearbook quote - worthy lines ever :\nwhen i saw the film , i became one of its greatest champions ( it wound up being my movie of the year for 1999 ) , and carrey\u2019s extraordinary performance vaulted over all my doubts . in \u201cman on the moon , \u201d he nailed every nuance of andy kaufman \u2019s spirit , and he used his own mercurial quality as a comic to tease out the secret of kaufman\u2019s genius , which is that he wasn\u2019t just some dada tv art prankster crafting stunts to mess with your head . and he didn\u2019t just want to make you laugh , either . he wanted to leave you amazed . he was , in that way , the very soul of showbiz .\nanyway , he ' s sent to shawshank prison , where he ' s befriended by some total sweethearts , including a convicted murderer named red who eventually becomes his best bud . red ' s a guy who\nknows how to get things ,\nand andy asks him to get him a rock hammer to collect rocks\u2014he ' s always been an amateur geology fan . red ' s glad to oblige . andy ' s also befriended by some guys who are . . . well , let ' s just say they don ' t want to examine rocks with him .\nwhen reid tweeted the andy the talking hedgehog poster on friday , the internet went nuts . that was partly because the poster featured a hedgehog , two cats , dean cain , tara reid\u2019s twitter profile pic manipulated to look slightly more wholesome and an unattributed quote calling it \u201ca magical good time\u201d . but it was also because the imdb plot summary for the film read \u201ctara reid brings her oscar award - winning prowess to this documentary about a hedgehog that dean cain farted on giving it the ability to talk . it\u2019s a fun - loving family movie that will for sure make you say \u201cwowza . that\u2019s a stinky fart ! \u201d\u2019 that summary , incidentally , was attributed to scott baio .\nthe orlando bloom - esque ben winchell stars as max mcgrath , a shy 16 - year - old who\u2019s sick of moving from town to town with his widowed mother , molly ( maria bello , whose mere presence is the only reason this movie gets half a star ) . at the film\u2019s start , the two have just come back to the hometown of his late father ( mike doyle , seen in flashbacks ) , a scientist who died long ago in a mysterious , explosive accident . dad\u2019s former partner , miles ( andy garcia , hamming it up big - time ) , who\u2019s now in charge of the company the two built together , arrives soon afterward to help them get settled .\nthose glimpses feel especially important as you watch the film . they give a sense of the duration of the shooting of \u201cempire , \u201d and of real people endlessly gazing out the window at the actual skyscraper \u2014 perfect avatars for those of us wallowing in the movie version . it\u2019s the fact of that endless , parallel staring , by the filmmakers and us , that\u2019s the real subject of this art work .\ncarrey , a jaw - dropping comic trailblazer of his own , grasped all that ; that\u2019s why he captured kaufman so profoundly . but it wasn\u2019t until i saw chris smith \u2019s ticklish and captivating documentary \u201c jim & andy : the great beyond \u2014 featuring a very special , contractually obligated mention of tony clifton , \u201d that i realized what the two comedic visionaries actually had in common . andy kaufman\u2019s comedy emerged from his pathological role - playing , which was built around his weak sense of identity and his consuming need to create one . it turns out that jim carrey overlapped him in that department quite a bit .\none summer day in 1964 , he recalled , when he was out on the streets with a young warhol hanger - on named john palmer , they found themselves looking up at the empire state building . \u201ci said to palmer : \u2018this is a perfect warhol movie . why don\u2019t you tell this to andy ? \u2019 and he did . \u201d\nwhen it was announced in the late \u201990s that jim carrey had been chosen to play andy kaufman in a major hollywood biopic , my gut reaction was skepticism . carrey , then at the height of his star power , was a brilliant comedian who had more than proved his acting chops ( in \u201cthe truman show\u201d ) , yet both [ \u2026 ]\nhaving cleared out the funds set up under randall stevens , andy absconds with over $ 300 , 000 of the warden ' s money , forwards the cooked account books to the local newspaper , and makes a bee line for mexico . the police come for the warden , who takes the coward ' s way out with a bullet to the brain .\nthat was fine ; she\u2019d spent most of the interview revealing that she\u2019s been the victim of bullying , so it would have felt cruel to directly follow that up with a sneery \u201chey tara , tell me about your dumb hedgehog movie\u201d . but now andy the talking hedgehog is one of the hottest films on the planet , and i\u2019m kicking myself a little .\nin \u201cjim & andy , \u201d we watch carrey submerge himself in the cantankerous , growly clifton mystique . on the days when they\u2019re shooting tony clifton scenes , he refuses to break character , forcing milo\u0161 forman to give direction to this stunted , exhausting man who will not listen to a thing he says . carrey , like andy , revels in taking the joke too far . we see priceless footage of the night that tony showed up at the playboy mansion and partied with hugh hefner , who thought that he was in on the joke ; he presumed that he was hosting jim carrey . and then , after two hours , into the party walks\u2026jim carrey ! hef turns white as a sheet , and tony clifton gets booted out of the party . but at that moment , he lives .\nin the film , ex - cop , ex - racer and vietnam vet kowalski , played by barry newman , bets his drug dealer he can deliver a supercharged 1970 dodge challenger to california in 15 hours . the reasons for the wager are unclear , but it triggers 90 minutes worth of screaming police cruisers and an excited , crash - by - crash radio narration by super soul , a blind disc jockey played by cleavon little . kowalski also encounters desert hippies , a rattlesnake wrangler and an alluring , naked blond woman on a motorcycle .\nafter 20 years at shawshank , andy doesn ' t seem like himself . his buddies are worried , and he asks one of them for a length of rope . he seems to be telling red . . . goodbye . one morning , he doesn ' t make it out of his cell for roll call . red fears the worst , but astonishingly , he isn ' t in there at all .\nyou\u2019d expect that after hour 3 or 4 of \u201cempire , \u201d you\u2019d be ready to slit your wrists , but the movie turns out to be gripping . if great works of art can be thought of as machines for thinking , triggering ideas by the dozen , then \u201cempire\u201d is a rolls - royce : it keeps us thinking about what film is and does , what great buildings are all about and even how and why we look at things . jotting down my thoughts minute by minute , i ended up writing more than 5 , 000 words .\nthe level on which to take\nandy ,\na drama of a mentally deficient man , written and directed by richard c . sarafian , which opened at the beekman yesterday , is that of the small , special picture that doesn ' t pretend to the large amenities , but aims to tell only a modest story and to do it sensitively and well . on that level , which view full article in timesmachine \u00bb\nafter being horribly bullied throughout high school , a mistake at a party leads andy into getting back at an old friend of his . . . by outing her relationship with a teacher . . . andy add me on snapchat : whatsamikey i hope that you guys enjoyed this video ! click here to subscribe -

practised wrap - up speech .\ncarrey\u2019s comedy , too , erupted out of him like an alternate personality , and he grew up riddled with insecurities ( like a lot of performers ) . but once he got famous , something inside him snapped . nice , grinning , friendly canadian jim divided off from dark , weird , troubled , who - am - i ? jim . channeling andy kaufman was a catharsis for him , because it put him in touch with his inner split personality .\nproduction : andy warhol films ; black and white and eastmancolor , 16mm ; running time : 195 minutes , other versions are 210 and 205 minutes . released 15 september 1966 ; uncut reels were projected side by side ; in the general release version , the 1st reel appeared screen right , and a few minutes later , the second appeared screen left . filmed 1966 in the chelsea hotel , new york city ; other parts of new york city ; and cambridge , massachusetts .\nexcept that he cherished that reaction more than anything , so maybe it was the real him . or maybe there was no real him . in one of the greatest scenes in \u201cman on the moon , \u201d carrey , as kaufman , as tony clifton gets up on stage and does his unspeakable rendition of \u201ci\u2019ve gotta be me . \u201d it\u2019s bottom - of - the - barrel sentimental showbiz hooey , but it\u2019s all built around a conundrum : who , exactly , is me ? \u201cjim & andy : the great beyond\u201d shows you that the answer is a grand illusion .\non the set of \u201cman on the moon , \u201d he went full daniel day - lewis , staying in character when the cameras were turned off . this meant , much of the time , that he was sweet , mild , tentative andy and therefore easy to deal with . but it also meant that when the salty - tempered professional wrestler jerry lawler showed up to do his scenes , carrey - as - andy would harass him in the same way that kaufman used to \u2014 except that as we see , the mockery was even more scathing . in the \u201980s , kaufman and lawler went at each other like a blue red / red state nuclear meltdown , but lawler was in on the joke ; off camera , as he explains on the set , kaufman was nice as pie . that\u2019s what he expected from carrey , but instead carrey would push lawler\u2019s buttons , asking him if he\u2019d stolen his bejeweled cape from elvis or saying \u201conce again , proving darwin\u2019s theory\u2026\u201d he kept pushing them , even after he\u2019d crossed the line , provoking lawler to fits of rage . to stay in character , carrey , as kaufman , became a method pest .\nthe remaining passengers are now waking up\u2014including the captain , inexplicably played by andy garcia ( he has zero lines and perhaps six seconds of screen time . ) after emerging from their pods , they notice the ship has been transformed into a forest of sorts\u2014as jim and aurora have stayed together and planted vegetation and raised animals and lived happily ever after on the ship because love always wins and that a man can get away with being a creep to a woman as long as he saves that woman\u2019s life at least once . and now they\u2019re dead . stockholm syndrome is real , and it is spectacular .\nwhen it was announced in the late \u201990s that jim carrey had been chosen to play andy kaufman in a major hollywood biopic , my gut reaction was skepticism . carrey , then at the height of his star power , was a brilliant comedian who had more than proved his acting chops ( in \u201cthe truman show\u201d ) , yet both temperamentally and ethnically he seemed wrong for the part : kaufman was a doughy nerdy jewish space cadet , carrey a hypomanic string -

term contract at warner brothers .\nthe beginning of the 1940s in hollywood sees the loosening of genre conventions as different movie formats began to interbreed . in particular a kind of gangster - flick meanness began to shove its way into regular drama , eventually producing the style we now call film noir . they drive by night is an odd little transition movie from this period , one of those awkward little steps in an evolutionary process .\nthey drive by night shows the realities of life for women scraping by selling sex , whether on drummond street , lisle street or the great north road . they are the victims of abuse , poverty , sexual assault , murder . while the novel is a fast - paced , exciting read that stands out for its use of language and its shifting locations , it is much more , the author\u2019s subtle social commentary adding another , deeper layer to the story . john king\nof course the device of slightly barmy yet beautiful women bumping off their husbands would become something of a film noir staple . but here is where they drive by night shows its primitiveness alongside later noirs . raft resists lupino like a saint , and stays true to goody - goody anne sheridan ( and on the subject of sheridan , why is she suddenly transformed from smooth - talking floozy to prim housewife - in - waiting ? ) over the next two decades fred macmurray , orson welles and even jimmy stewart would be getting suckered in by the \u201cwrong kind of woman\u201d and being dragged down to a sorry end . and perhaps this is the final flaw in they drive by night . in pictures like this , we don\u2019t want perfect morals and cosy endings . we want the hero to take the bait hook , line and sinker .\nridiculously , i\u2019ve never watched hell drivers , though i have a copy here . i think that one would make a good double with the us they drive , or with jules dassin\u2019s thieves\u2019 highway .\ndespite his politicised criticism of the justice system , his anger at the way he saw the legal machine working for the rich in a capitalist system , curtis avoids preaching in his novels . his ideas act as props for his sentences , fuel the energy of his narratives . they drive by night is packed with observation and sense of place \u2013 whether london or the major roads of the north . it is also full of his trademark use of slang and working - class dialogue . as jonathan meades shows in his introduction to the new london classics edition , they drive by night is a dream come true for anyone interested in this sort of language . while curtis captures the speech of ordinary men and women , by moving into the margins of society he is able to record its more outrageous use . this ability alone makes james curtis a true cult author .\nsources : bazin , andr\u00e9 . orson welles : a critical view . foreword by fran\u00e7ois truffaut ; profile by jean cocteau ; translated from the french by jonathan rosenbaum . new york : harper & row , 1978 .\nit was after the release of bringing up baby that the independent theatre owners of america included hepburn on a list of actors they called \u201cbox office poison . \u201d the list , published in the independent film journal in may 1938 , also included such legends as joan crawford , fred astaire , and greta garbo .\nin the course of more than 50 films , miss lupino was a spiteful cockney in\nthe light that failed\n( 1939 ) , a crazed wife in\nthey drive by night\n( 1940 ) , a loyal girlfriend in\nhigh sierra\n( 1941 ) , an escaped convict in\nthe sea wolf\n( 1941 ) and a steely murderer in\nladies in retirement\n( 1941 ) .\nafter holiday was released in june 1938 , audiences had to wait about eighteen months before seeing grant and hepburn in their fourth and final film , the philadelphia story ( 1941 ) . i wish that grant and hepburn had made more films together . it always looks as though they are having a marvelous time onscreen .\nrunyonesque broadway gamblers turn patriotic when they stumble onto a cell of nazi saboteurs .\nin they drive by night shorty recognises molly from the caffs on the edgware road , and this busy street leading into central london seems to have been similar to the tottenham court road of the day , full of wide boys and chisellers . the edgware road is more upmarket these days , though still known for its middle eastern food , the greasy spoons of curtis\u2019s time replaced by eateries dealing in cheap meze , felafel and coffee . curtis wouldn\u2019t have minded . spaghetti was still considered exotic in the thirties .\ndavid and susan head off into the night to try and catch baby before the zoo does . george ran off while they were on the phone , so david keeps an eye out for the terrier , too .\nwhen this film was released in early 1938 , variety called bringing up baby \u201cthe most frantic and whirligig of recent film funnies\u201d with \u201cgeneral ludicrous hullaballoo . \u201d ( its \u201cwhirligig\u201d nature is due to the fact that the movie contains all the conventions and tropes of screwball comedy bundled into 102 minutes of nonstop nuttiness . )\nthe locations mentioned in they drive by night will interest london lovers , both for the fact they can be identified today and also for the way in which they have changed since the thirties . drummond street , where alice lives and dies , is now lined with south indian diners in a somers town that is largely asian . but it isn\u2019t hard to imagine the area in the thirties , when it housed a different population \u2013 transient , verging on criminality perhaps , a short walk into soho or camden town , the old boozers full of characters from patrick hamilton\u2019s trilogy twenty thousand streets under the sky , which was based around a local pub .\nthe promoter immediately shifts his sights to a rival tennis player , and millie is rebuffed by her husband and her daughter . the final shot of the film shows millie at night , alone , sitting in the now empty bleachers of the championship tennis court , her plans for vicarious stardom smashed .\nbut aunt elizabeth and major applegate stumble on baby first as they stroll around the house .\nnot to be confused with either nicholas ray ' s melancholic 1949 crime tale they live by night or raoul walsh ' s 1940 action -

up waitress cassie hartley who ' s just quit her job at a truck stop . the three of them witness the death of a mutual acquaintance when he falls asleep at the wheel . this has a profound effect on paul and joe and they become determined to find a way to make the business pay so they can quit .\njust before the boys pull into haig ' s truck stop there is a night scene of the truck on the highway with two cars behind it , and a road marker showing . after they leave haig ' s the same scene is shown again with only a cloud slightly different .\nthe bigamist was the last of lupino\u2019s films under her rko deal , which was not renewed . for the first time , lupino appeared in a film that she directed . the production is surrounded by considerable irony , inasmuch as it was joan fontaine\u2019s involvement with collier young ( and lupino\u2019s corresponding association with actor howard duff ) that precipitated the divorce between lupino and young . young and fontaine were then married , as were lupino and duff . the film was distributed by the filmakers group after rko passed on the complete film . without the necessary national distribution mechanism afforded by a major studio , the film failed to obtain adequate bookings and the filmakers went out of business .\nestablished in 1938 , lvn was among the big three studios whose output accounted for 65 % of the films produced from 1946 to 1960 , a period roughly coextensive with the golden age of filipino filmmaking . 6 the commercially profitable star vehicles crafted by executive producer do\u00f1a sisang 7 at lvn were an admixture of nationalism , commercialism , and escapism . director lamberto avellana recalls her saying , \u201cwhy remind audiences of their hardship ? \u201d 8 studio era escapism was most often achieved by predictable happy endings . yet in gregorio fernandez\u2019s 1955 melodrama higit sa lahat [ above all ] 9 , the obligatory narrative resolution is undermined by the film\u2019s trenchant critique of postwar materialism .\nit is possible that author james curtis served time in prison . much of his life remains shrouded in mystery , but his descriptions of life behind bars , his knowledge of procedure , suggest this is more than speculation . it is safe to say that he didn\u2019t trust the justice system . his non - fiction work , a guide to british liberties , published as part of the fact series in september , 1937 , is clear evidence of this , but it is in his fiction where his beliefs are more flamboyantly revealed , novels such as they drive by night and the gilt kid being obvious examples .\nand that\u2019s not all that\u2019s wrong with the story . they drive by night sets itself up , quite promisingly , as a gritty action drama about the lives of bottom - rung truckers . then , halfway through , the plot is hijacked by lupino and turned into some femme - fatale murder wotsit , and all the business about trying to scrape a meagre profit and stay awake on long hauls ( not to mention bogart\u2019s character ) is forgotten . it\u2019s not that this is confusing , as both parts are fairly straightforward , it\u2019s just that neither of them is fully developed . each bit looks like half a movie , the first one trailing off into nothing , the second boiled down into forty minutes of clich\u00e9s .\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\nwith the headline : ida lupino , film actress and director , is dead at 77 .\nunexpectedly , the \u201ckung ako\u2019y mahal mo\u201d was an enjoyable and well -

star ronald colman , and her advisors , who assured her that the unsympathetic cockney girl she played in the film would alienate audiences . instead , lupino walked away with the film and emerged as a major star as the year drew to a close . signing with warner brothers , lupino commanded star billing in such gritty classics as they drive by night ( raoul walsh , 1940 ) , high sierra ( walsh , 1941 ) , the sea wolf ( michael curtiz , 1941 ) , and ladies in retirement ( charles vidor , 1941 ) . in 1943 , ida lupino received the best actress award from the new york film critics association for her work in the hard way , but , in truth , she was becoming disenchanted with her career as an actress .\nfounded in 1999 , senses of cinema is one of the first online film journals of its kind and has set the standard for professional , high quality film -

putting moments of the film were the scenes with the cgi version of grand moff tarkin . the actor who originally played tarkin in the original films , peter cushing , passed away in 1994 . this would have been a good reason to either a ) not include tarkin in the film ( which would have been fine and easy ) or b ) find some other way to include him that wasn ' t so glaringly digital . while the special effects are remarkably good , tarkin still looks fake compared to the real humans around him , fake enough to make his inclusion puzzling .\npeople like watching movies where the hero wins , appreciate films that make us think , and feel enriched by stories that make us ask big questions . what makes the science fiction film genre so amazing is that it\u2019s capable of achieving all of these goals in one story . a trip to the moon wasn ' t just an enjoyable experience ; it made audiences reflect on the possibilities of spaceflight and dream of what would happen if we met an alien life form . you can connect the dots between this film and the apollo 11 moon landing .\nphotographed in suitably muted tones by the gifted pasqualino de santis , the film was both a commercial and critical success , and perhaps the highlight of scola\u2019s long career , winning the golden globe award for best foreign language film , nominated for academy awards for best actor in a leading role ( marcello mastroianni ) and best foreign language film , winning three nastro d\u2019argento awards for best actress , music and script , along with two david di donatello awards for best actress and best director .\nyou as a production will get log ins for all departments when using our system that works online & offline . you can sign people in and out , add additional fee ' s etc with just the touch of a button .\ntricking your eyes into seeing motion isn ' t enough to create a good film though . m\u00e9li\u00e8s pioneered film editing for the purpose of telling visual stories rather than just documenting reality . he wasn ' t the first to do so ( see alfred clark ' s the execution of mary , queen of scots ) , but his films popularized cinema in a way no other filmmaker had ever achieved up to this point in history because m\u00e9li\u00e8s created stories that could only be told in film .\nafter that , the opening credits proceed through a list of the most important contributors to the film , starting from the least important , ending with the most important .\ncamera obscura suffering from post -

quality entertainment is available to more people on the planet than ever before . at the same time individuals across the globe can find an audience much more easily than was previously possible . the ability to access whatever entertainment people want digitally and on demand has transformed diversions in societies both rich and poor , changing the lives of billions .\nthe evening begins when chamber music on the fox presents a live performance of a new score to accompany the screening of charlie chaplin ' s silent film ,\nthe tramp ,\nat 5 : 30 p . m . the film festival ' s red carpet reception is at 6 : 15 p . m . , and the film screening of the top six finalists is at 7 p . m . tickets to the elgin short film festival ( including chamber performance and red carpet reception ) are $ 7 and may be purchased at the hemmens box office , online at urltoken or by phone at ( 847 ) 931 -

effects heavy exorcism was tacked onto the film ' s end .\ndominion : prequel to the exorcist director paul schrader :\ni had a different film in mind , more one about merrin ' s journey than strictly a horror vehicle .\nlucky lucky , played by the film\u2019s writer and director , bari king , is an undocumented immigrant who gets enmeshed in a crime web and has to fight his way out .\nultimately there were simply too many characters and all the new ones were created just to be killed off in the end . the combination makes it both hard to care about these people , and hard to want to go back and watch it again .\nof course , retaining control is much easier if the hits keep coming , which is why working with netflix , which refuses to give out viewing figures , was appealing . ricky says there was a ' feeding frenzy ' among hollywood studios when his agent put out his plans for special correspondents , based on a french film about a radio journalist and his sound man who are unable to reach a warzone so make up all their reports from a hideout above a restaurant across the road from the radio station .\nif this credits guide hasn\u2019t answered all your questions , i encourage you to try something that i do with most of my indie film credits ordering . find a recent and similar film of the same genre , and look at its end credits as a guide . art of the title is a great resource to study great title sequence designs that spans television and films .\nwe had such a good experience here with respect to the craftmanship , the spirit , the work ethic and all of that , there was absolutely no dearth of trained experienced people at all levels of production , we just look forward to doing it all again .\nchris hemsworth kicks off filming for the star - studded men in black spin - off as he cuts a sharp figure in london . . . 21 years after the first film hit screens\nwhen harold ramis died in 2014 , many thought the \u201cghostbusters\u201d franchise would die with him . after all , not only did he help dan aykroyd write the original script , but he played dr . egon spengler in the 1984 film . as it turns out , not only do we get a new \u201cghostbusters\u201d film , but we get a ramis cameo , too \u2013 sort of . early in the film , when kristen wiig\u2019s character is being upbraided by a university official , watch closely as he leaves her office . in particular , check out the bust in the hallway \u2026\nthe story might sound simple now , but audiences back then loved it . we don ' t know much about the film ' s early reception ( there ' s a story about how its first audience applauded for hours after seeing the film ) but we do know the film was in high demand . so much so that negatives were stolen and pirated across the world . nearly all of the copies shown in america were illegally duplicated by thomas edison and removed any mention of m\u00e9li\u00e8s . rival studios made similar films about trips to the sun and jupiter . then there ' s \u201c an excursion to the moon \u201d which is a complete plagiarism of m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s work . sadly , m\u00e9li\u00e8s never saw any of the profits from the illegal duplicates of his film .\nmiss peregrine ' s home for peculiar children is a movie starring eva green , asa butterfield , and samuel l . jackson . when jacob discovers clues to a mystery that stretches across time , he finds miss peregrine ' s home for peculiar children . but the danger deepens after he gets to know the residents and learns about their special powers .\nin all , scola was responsible for some 87 screenplay or writing credits on both his own films and those of other directors , including the script for dino risi\u2019s memorably acidic comedy / tragedy il sorpasso ( 1962 ) . as a director , he has at least 42 credits , both short films and features , starting with se permettete parliamo di donne ( let\u2019s talk about women , 1964 ) , but without a doubt , his relatively late film una giornata particolare ( a special day , 1977 ) is one of his most transcendent and trenchant films .\n11 . the sound design in the exorcist is really an essential part of the film , equally important to the special effects and the performances , so one more sound tidbit is necessary . friedkin writes ,\nduring a recording session , [ music producer jack nitzsche ' s ] girlfriend was sleeping facedown on a couch . he placed a microphone on the floor next to her and ran across the studio and jumped on her back , landing with both knees . her shocked reaction is the sound we used when regan throws up on father karras . \u201d\nthe deeply flawed film version of frank herbert ' s novel was universally hated when it premiered 30 years ago , but it still successfully brought much of the classic sci -

dead serial killer .\nover the years , it was reportedly murray\u2019s reluctance to do another \u201cghostbusters\u201d that kept a new movie featuring the original cast from going into production . after all , murray ' s peter venkman is the face of the franchise . producers eventually decided to move on , rebooting the film with a new cast \u2013 but murray did agree to play a role , portraying a professional debunker who tangles with the new crew about midway through the film .\ndean demetri martin , a former fixture of \u201cthe daily show , \u201d directed , wrote and stars in this film , playing an illustrator who , after his mother\u2019s death , works through a complicated relationship with his father ( kevin kline ) . from last year\u2019s tribeca film festival , mike hale wrote in the new york times that mr . martin \u201cdelivers a winning combination of winsomeness and rue . \u201d gillian jacobs and mary steenburgen also star .\nand yet . . . something was missing , both as a film on its own merits and as a star wars movie . the more i went over the movie in my mind , the more problems i uncovered .\nthe smaller characters were all more interesting . the droid k -

footage collage \u201cdecasia\u201d ) uses those clips to tell a story that interweaves film history and a sociological history of dawson .\nto sum it up , the only way to fully understand a visual story is by either watching a lot of television and movies or being very familiar with the ideas in the story . for a trip to the moon , most of the audience didn ' t have much experience watching films , but they were very familiar with the ideas in this film . jules verne ' s from the earth to the moon , released 37 years before this film , had popularized the idea of space travel . h . g . wells ' s the first men in the moon expanded on verne ' s work by introducing a race of insect - like moon aliens called\nselenites\n. the tone of m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s film mirrors that of jacques offenbach ' s a trip to the moon operatic parody of verne ' s novels while the structure of the film follows that of an attraction at the 1901 pan -

the theatre was rollicking at some gory and vicious things at the screening , which were understood to be deliberate exaggerations and tongue in cheek . the referential and cynical style that rules today\u2019s humor is better for enjoying liquid sky than the purist authenticity of the early punk 80\u2019s .\nthe plot isn ' t the film ' s greatest asset , nor are its insights into margaret , larry and the brave new world of affectless androgyny that they inhabit . instead , it ' s the overall resourcefulness of mr . tsukerman and his talented colleagues that gives ' ' liquid sky ' ' its high style .\nliquid sky provides lighting production for wedding , djs , bands , performers . our team is among the leaders in dance lighting production , providing unique shows to surprise and delight the audiences . with our original vision , and sophisticated approach to lighting production , the team has earned a reputation of excellence and unparalleled shows . only a few months after the formation of liquid sky productions , our team is already established among the best in the industry . our team also provides : . up lighting . low fog for the first dance . lasers and beams for the dj / band lighting . lasers to write the newly weds ' names . uv party\n\u201cliquid sky is one of the most visually ambitious films ever made about fashion , heroin , new wave clubs , ufo saucers , ordering chinese food and having them put it on your tab , the empire state building , androgyny , neon and tin foil . the 1982 cult classic may be the perfect embodiment of camp . \u201d\nliquid sky\nis fiske ' s name for our mind - bending , psychedelic music and abstract art shows . featuring carefully selected music set to some of the most amazing digitally - generated realtime graphics anywhere in the world . fiske ' s 8k digital theater delivers perfectly blended beats and graphics that will transport you to another world .\nliquid sky is a 30 - acre private estate located along scenic highway one south of san francisco . the estate and ceremony site are perched on the bluff tops overlooking the magnificent pacific ocean providing stunning 180 - degree views of the northern california coastline . surrounded by cypress and pine trees , wild flowers and native grasses , liquid sky offers dramatic beauty as you wind down the private driveway towards the house . ceremonies are performed on the front of the lawn , facing the ocean and the cliffs so that all can enjoy the lull of the crashing waves , the rugged coastline views and the gentle ocean breezes . the estate provides is one of the most romantic and secluded ceremony sites on the northern california coast .\nliquid sky is one of the most visually ambitious films ever made about fashion , heroin , new wave clubs , ufo saucers , ordering chinese food and having them put it on your tab , the empire state building , androgyny , neon and tin foil . the 1982 cult classic may be the perfect embodiment of camp . unlike contemporary low - budget cinema , which prizes an aesthetic of apathy , liquid sky makes its efforts visible . judgmental fashion reporters cackle straight into the camera . catwalk scenes take place in rooms both comically small and accurately sized to real new york spaces . and the slang - heavy dialogue , which the director slava tsukerman credits largely to the main actress and co - screenwriter anne carlisle , is bold and delightfully stilted :\ni have to admit that what attracted me most about liquid sky was a specific scene : when margaret ( played by anne carlisle ) gets really intimate with adrian ( played by paula e . sheppard ) . the scene would have risked getting the movie an x rating if slava had not decided to release the movie as unrated . without a rating , the movie would only be shown to adults , but would avoid being labelled pornographic . after all ; liquid sky , though having a strong erotic art element to it , is by no means a porno . nevertheless : i , myself , would have wanted to be ravaged by both adrian and margaret ; as i am sure would many others who consider this movie to be especially memorable !\nin contrast to all the weird quirky - ness , wildness , of almost everyone and everything in liquid sky ; the flying saucer , designed by gennady osmerkin , was the epitome of simplicity and perfectivity ! i consider the flying saucer worthy of being reproduced as a die - cast metal memorabilia and toy , fully equipped with its own lighting . even when i first saw it , i hoped to be able to own my own one .\nliquid sky , directed by slava tsukerman ;

' ' ) . but this isn ' t quite a comedy , since its wit is so very dry , and since there is such a lot of viciousness to accompany the droll touches .\ncarlisle , who played both a nefarious male role and a tragic female one in the film , was at the screening , looking amazing and unaged . it turns out that lately tsukerman has been working with ann on the script for a sequel . he noted that with the recent popularity for all things 80\u2019s and the frequency of remakes , it has been offered to him to re - do liquid sky with modern cgi and better lighting . he would like 3d ; tsukerman believes the medium would be good for the film .\nand , just to help keep things in perspective , here are just a few legendary new york city artists who watched liquid sky : jean - michel basquiat . keith haring . andy warhol . kenny scharf . marcia resnick . quentin crisp . woody allen . sinead o ' connor . kurt vonnegut jr . isaac asimov . ray bradbury . all are people i have met and known in person . many have since departed . one wonders what subconscious impact the movie may have had on their lives , thoughts , and creations .\napparently . at the bam screening , most shades of hair color that are chromatically possible were in evidence . some of the audience were people who had been at the 1983 premier , now in their 80\u2019s . but many had not even been born in 1983 . i asked a particularly dashing fellow why he was there , and he explained that the film influenced him as a 13 year old to aspire to be an artist . he was 13 about 20 years ago , so i also questioned how he knew about liquid sky at all , since this was before the long tail of the internet appeared . he told me the same thing that tsukerman said earlier when i asked a similar question . word of mouth . old vhs tapes passed around , watched on vcr\u2019s when parents were not home . that is how liquid sky survived the period between its release and the rise of the web . when tsukerman first searched for the references to the film , in the days of netscape , five million results showed up . only spielberg films had as many .\ni asked tsukerman how an immigrant from the soviet union , who came to the united states after a stay in israel , ended up making the film that epitomized the new wave punk ethos and is beloved for that reason to this day . he started out in documentaries , and filmed many features and other films on russian topics , dealing with the end of the soviet union and karamzin\u2019s poor liza , to name just a few examples . but until his current plans come to fruition , liquid sky is his singular contribution to the cult genre .\nliquid sky ' s music and sound - track is also very unique , and was mostly\ncomposed\nand produced by slava tsukerman , clive smith and brenda hutchinson played on the keyboard of the fairlight cmi . almost all of it was totally original , but also included interpretations of baroque composer marin marais ' s sonnerie de ste - genevi\u00e8ve du mont - de - paris , carl orff ' s trionfo di afrodite , and anthony philip heinrich ' s laurel waltz . combined they formed a series of ominous - sounding dissonant arrangements and nightmarish trances .\nour team of industry professionals are highly trained in all aspects of photographic production in order to deliver total support throughout the image - making process . if you would like to know more about working with big sky or wish to find out more about our facilities , please get in touch .\n\u201cwhat connection can there possibly be between ufos and heroin ? \u201d asks a character in slava tsukerman\u2019s cult classic from 1982 , liquid sky . it\u2019s not really a question i pondered myself during my own years of addiction , but apparently enough people find it intriguing to attend screening after screening , in many countries , wearing makeup and outfits in homage to the specific style of the film , for the last 31 years . before attending friday\u2019s screening at the bam , i had a long talk with the director at his manhattan apartment , where part of the movie was filmed back in those dark and distant 80\u2019s .\nliquid sky was a catalyst . few understand its true significance , but future historians will surely credit it as being an emotionally powerful exploration of the mystery of emotional sensualism and part of an effort to liberate humanity from senseless dissonances . will the world become the day after tomorrow + mad max + waterworld + the hunger games , etc . , or will the world become a place where we all truly have our rights respected and where robots , computers , and other technologies truly serve us all , liberating us from the horrors of modern - day slavery , new poverty , and a final era of horrific wars over mismanaged resources ?\nat the time you made the movie , did you consider yourself a new yorker ? i think so . but most new yorkers are people from different places . that\u2019s one of the quintessential qualities of new york , being an international place . but it has many sides which , after the release of liquid sky , i could see were known very well all over the world . things that make it a global center of culture . like , cbgb was a center of world music , and every japanese singer dreamed of coming here to see cbgbs . while for us , it was a small room where people drink beer and listen to singers .\nslava tsukerman is a soviet emigre who has lived in new york city since 1976 , apparently long enough for him to get the lay of the land . mr . tsukerman ' s ' ' liquid sky , ' ' which opens today at the waverly , presents a vision of the city that is genuinely startling . his film , with a heroine who is sometimes a hero and who is apt to show up in a red corset with matching red - and - blond skunk hairdo , can hardly be for everyone . but the right audiences are bound to appreciate the originality displayed here , not to mention the color , rage , nonchalance , sly humor and ferocious fashion sense .\nthank you for your interest in big sky studios . please fill out the fields below and one of our producers will be in touch as soon as possible . alternatively , please call our office on + 44 ( 0 ) 20 7619 6600 . if you ' re interested in working for us , please check our news section for current opportunities .\none of the things that also makes liquid sky so unique is how anne carlisle managed to play both main characters , the androgynous male character of jimmy ' the junkie ' ( drug addict ) and margaret the exotic erotic bisexual fashion model whose childhood innocence was obviously lost as a result of big city life after moving from the connecticut country - side ! anne ' s sophisticated emotional performance , in both characters , is truly worthy of an oscar ! my initial impression was that jimmy and margaret were twins . this effect was achieved by yuri neyman , asc\u2019s use of long forgotten special effects techniques of the 1920s - 30s which included operation of the special camera\ndebri\u2013parvo l\ndesigned in 1925 .\nliquid sky is a sci - fi art film that seems to be about a simple story of substance abuse , sexual abuse , sexual desire , sex , more substance abuse , more sex , death by micro - aliens seeking endorphins from people who have achieved orgasm , more substance abuse , more sex , more deaths . and it is full of bisexuality , lesbian intimacy , and heterosexual acts and desires . but none of that has anything to do with what the movie is really about ! because the movie is not really about anything at all . it ' s just a movie meant to evoke certain subjective emotional responses to situations which are realistic , but which become surrealistic . the main characters are margaret , jimmy , and adrian .\nbut by 1983 , at least in new york city , and soon enough , thereafter in london , berlin , and tokyo , among the subcultural new wave , electro - pop , and progressive punk , avant - garde music and arts scene\nliquid sky\nbecame known as the title of one of thee most culturally influential avant - garde independent sci - fi art movies . with its fashion and make - up style , which became the basis for the electroclash subculture , and its quirky weird alternative exploration of human sexuality and political nonconformity , its socio - psychological impact significantly defined much of the rest of the 1980s high - end avant - garde culture , art , intellectual life and . . . yes . . . politics too .\nwas it your intention to portray them accurately as people , or where they representations of an idea ? no , they are pretty accurate . they are accurate to the last extent , i think . anne considered it very personal even after shooting \u2014 she was living in this apartment but she moved out because she couldn\u2019t stay here for psychological reasons . and she wrote a novel after that , because she thought she knew more now about margaret than what was in the film . so she really identified herself completely . still identifies , because we\u2019re now working on liquid sky 2 . but it\u2019ll be very difficult for her , the fact that somebody else will play margaret . update : mr . tsukerman clarified that in fact , anne will return to reprise the role of margaret .\nmost movies are superficial in their overall impact , but liquid sky was and will always be emotionally catalytic in a way that is somehow subjectively unique for each person ! it ' s a movie that defies easy answers to complex personal questions about our relationship to the world around us , and towards our own selves . of course , some of you will read all this and think :\ncome on man ! it ' s just a totally wacky art movie , and you ' re ascribing all kinds of incredible nonsense to it for which there is no real basis ! it ' s just a freakin movie man !\nto which i can only say this :\nyou are right ! for you that is the truth ! but for others it is not . no one can force you to think differently !\nhowever , computerized music was so new in 1982 that tsukerman had to reserve slots on a system called pass , which afforded him synthesizer time . he sang and plucked out the tunes he wanted computerized , and with the help of two young composers he managed to create the music that has survived in the public ear to reappear in today\u2019s hits . in particular , the genre of electroclash , of which fischerspooner are the best known exponents , is aesthetically influenced by tsukerman\u2019s film and music . larry tee , who is so deeply involved with the genre that one can call him its overseer , has said that it was the look , feel and sound of liquid sky that informed his style . he also frequently spins electronic music with samples from the film . lady gaga has been accused of drawing her costume inspiration from the movie . did tsukerman , a soviet immigrant , expect this kind of legacy ?\nsaw this film today at the san francisco international film fest . slava ( the director ) was there in person , as was a\nwho ' s who\nof the s . f . art / music / film / dance scene ( jon moritsugu , i am spoonbender , metallica , etc . ) . i think that most of you who don ' t like liquid sky have very little sense of irony and should just accept your force - fed hollywood movie fate . yeah , l . s . isn ' t f * * king ' alien ' ( or perfect ) but then again it had 1 / 50th the budget . also , it should be commended for the realistic approach to the subject matter alone . no one in hollywood would have ever made a real new wave urltoken many of you thought nicholas cage ' s\nnew wave\nmovie was great ? thought so .\ntsukerman and i spoke in russian , so i\u2019m somewhat paraphrasing , but he prepared me well for the spectacle of a liquid sky screening . the music is eerie and disturbing , and it is easy to imagine how revolutionary it sounded in 1983 . tsukerman explained that synthesizers were barely available at that time and he had a lot of trouble getting exactly what he wanted . brian eno was the first one invited to do the soundtrack ; after all , the film was intended as an homage to andy warhol . in fact , tsukerman noted that warhol agreed to star in a production they had planned that never came to fruition . but in any case , eno was not the appropriate composer for the score . tsukerman had conceptualized exactly what he wanted , and it was an electric , modern interpretation of symphonic music , specifically the fugues of carl orff , as well as some lesser - known 19th century compositions .\ndoes the term \u201ccamp\u201d apply ? a film like liquid sky , it\u2019s consciously postmodern . that\u2019s what people say now , it puts together a lot of different elements . they are consciously put there , and camp is just one of these elements . i wanted to put together all the myths of the time , and all the stylistic elements as well . and that\u2019s why i was very impressed by new wave . they were punks , but according to themselves they weren\u2019t punks , because it was so stylistic and complicated , and people don\u2019t usually understand it was complicated . it combined everything : the american 50\u2019s , kabuki , german styles . all of that was mixed together , but the people creating it probably did so unconsciously . but that style was the reflection of the complexity of the mentality of a new generation . so it\u2019s not just camp \u2014 camp is one of many elements in the film . and that\u2019s why it lives so long \u2014 a lot of camp films from that period , nobody remembers .\ntaking the incidental as subject matter , the work of hattan , leonard and fran\u00e7ois , introduces a new preoccupation at the si : looking at what happens in the time and space \u201cbetween\u201d , so that this exhibition is portrayed as a sort of intermission . this theme of intermission or entr\u2019acte will recur unexpectedly in the si\u2019s programming this year , challenging the accepted notion of an exhibition having defined beginning and end points . the repetition and incidental beauty of the works in liquid concrete will serve as a kind of trailer , introducing the idea that exhibitions do not begin or end , but rather flow and linger .\nlighting production hasn ' t developed as quickly as audio / midi software , and roumen had to do pioneering efforts to achieve his goals . without much knowledge of lighting , back in 2013 , he connected his computer board to a daw , creating some notable animations . with a firm belief in his art , and without any connections in the industry , he leaped forward , and by mid 2016 he officially began his business . in the first few months , he did lighting for weddings / festivals / raves / band gigs , and started a lighting production tv show . he believes that when one is true to their artistic expression , the sky is the limit .\nremember ; the early 1980s was a time when america still had fresh memories of the vietnam war years ( 1955 to 1975 ) , america had just celebrated its bicentennial year ( 200th anniversary ) in 1976 , jimmy carter was denied a second term as a result of events in iran , and ronald reagan was talking about\nthe evil soviet empire\nand joked\nwe begin bombing in five minutes\n\u2026 scaring the heck out of many of us ! so : the early 1980s in new york city was a very special time for alternative culture , music , and arts ; with it came the first mass produced digital electronic devices , computers , and the new technology and the new sounds helped generate a whole new sense of futurism ( mtv , hbo , sony walkman , commodore 64 , delorean dmc 12 , etc . ) , and a desire for total freedom , for a clean start - over , a new era of possibilities ! the 1980s began with the subconscious effect of the magical number\n8\n, which mostly sub - consciously conveyed the infinity symbol for most ; and for those of us at the forefront of the new wave of futuristic wonderment ; the leminiscate ( symbol of infinity : \u221e ) gave the decade special meaning ! it was in that sense quite natural that something as surreal and quirky as liquid sky would arise out of the minds of some very bright - minded , hyper - creative people .\nof the many , many bad films i ' ve watched and admired , this film is special . plan 9 from outer space ? the rocky horror picture show ? waterworld ? at least these films produce derisive laughter . it is with the utmost confidence that i can label liquid sky the worst film ever ! ! there are so many bad things about this film that it ' s easy to point to them and say they aren ' t so bad . but the movie isn ' t just a scene about a junkie model arguing with her male counterpart outside the door , or the bizarre scenes of lovers disintegrating so little alien voyeurs can harvest their hormones . on no . the movie is a whole , and the pervasive element of the film is self - indulgent yet apathetic self - examination . the culmination of the film , where margaret laments to a crowd of her\npeers\nabout how the underground fashion scene forced her to abandon her identity and become androgynous , is gauranteed to drive sensitive viewers into smashing their skulls into the nearest concrete surface . tears , vomiting ( and subsequent dry heaves ) , cold sweat , and involuntary waste elimination are simply not enough to psycho - somatically purge your system of this film . massive , self - inflicted head injury is the only possible release . the only good thing that can be said about this movie is not that it ends ; if you ' ve watched for that long , it ' s too late for anyone to help you . the only good thing about this film is that the damned synthesizer music stops ! ! tabby\ntapered : very fitted cut all around the body . the arms and legs have some room for drag , don\u2019t think its a lot , when we say tapered we mean tapered , not recommended to wear layers thick layers under this suit . lycra under layers is recommended . keep in mind that we cannot go super tight at the cuff area because you still need to fit your foot thru the hole , the tighter the harder it is to fit . tapered liquid original suit will have some restriction due to less neoprene articulation parts ) order at your own risk . straight : the most popular fit for this model , it has a comfortable fit around your torso and straight cut arms and straight cut legs , this fit is determined on the size of your arms and legs , it will run approximately 4 inches wider in diameter than your calf measurement and approximately 3 inches wider in diameter around the forearm both going straight down to the cuff .\ntapered : very fitted cut all around the body . the arms and legs have some room for drag , don\u2019t think its a lot , when we say tapered we mean tapered , not recommended to wear layers thick layers under this suit . lycra under layers is recommended . keep in mind that we cannot go super tight at the cuff area because you still need to fit your foot thru the hole , the tighter the harder it is to fit . tapered liquid original suit will have some restriction due to less neoprene articulation parts ) order at your own risk . straight : the most popular fit for this model , it has a comfortable fit around your torso and straight cut arms and straight cut legs , this fit is determined on the size of your arms and legs , it will run approximately 4 inches wider in diameter than your calf measurement and approximately 3 inches wider in diameter around the forearm both going straight down to the cuff . baggy : the large , heavy and fast falling jumper might consider a baggy fit . although its an old school style some people still go for it . the fit around the torso area will still be nicely fitted but we add extra arm and leg drag . somewhere between 6 - 8 inches around the calf and 4 - 6 more around the forearm . baggy suits have a shorter life if used in the tunnel due to the wear and tear cause by high velocity winds . orbit option : prefered suit of coaches or aff instructors . this suit cut allows you to choose a variation of drag from a straight cut to a baggy cut by simply zipping up or zipping down the sleeves or legs of your suit . its awesome , super powerful and makes your suit even more perfect and versatile . this model does not include shirt laterals . ( clean cut options are not available with this fit . )\nso i was taught that i should come to new york , become an independent woman . and my prince would come , and he would be an agent , and he would get me a role , and i would make my living waiting on tables . i would wait \u2014 till thirty , till forty , till fifty . and i was taught that to be an actress , one should be fashionable , and to be fashionable is to be androgynous . and i am androgynous not less than david bowie himself . and they call me beautiful , and i kill with my cunt . isn\u2019t it fashionable ? come on , who\u2019s next ?\nwilliamsburg\u2019s spectacle theater screens the film this coming friday at 8 p . m . \u2014 with tsukerman in attendance .\nyou don\u2019t think there are places like that today ? probably in the late 70s or 80s it was more active , more alive , more interesting . maybe it\u2019s because we were there . but really , every big off - broadway production was a big world event . now , you wait for theater to come to the brooklyn academy of music . times square and 42nd street had whorehouses mixed with art galleries . my friend was living on 42nd street in a building occupied by whorehouses . all the prostitutes were his friends , they\u2019d come to his loft if they needed to borrow something . that was new york life .\nhave changes in the city affected the reception of the movie ? it\u2019s not only new york , because we\u2019ve screened the movie all over the world \u2014 in siberia \u2014 but a lot of young people are coming . not just people who saw it in \u201983 , for whom it\u2019s nostalgia . it\u2019s a bunch of young people , and i can\u2019t figure out how they learned about the film , because it\u2019s not advertised . not only is it not advertised , but i\u2019ve taken really bad care in releasing the film , for many reasons . but it\u2019s not easy to get the tape . maybe they go through the pirates ?\nbut the reaction is what\u2019s important to me , and the reaction is raving . it\u2019s better than it was in \u201983 . in 1983 , one critic said all the laughs were non - intentional . it just happened , but the writers didn\u2019t think it was funny . which is complete bullshit ! we never laughed more than the time when we were writing the script . today\u2019s audience doesn\u2019t have this doubt , they understand that from the first moment , it\u2019s supposed to be funny .\nyou\u2019ve said you became friends with the real life inspirations for the characters of jimmy and adrian \u2014 were you going to clubs with them and stuff ? yes , we did go to clubs from time to time . we were spending a lot of time with the girl here [ at the apartment ] , drinking scotch and improvising music together , it was fun . and though her character was very close to what\u2019s in the script , when the boy and girl read the script , they were shocked . they didn\u2019t recognize their portraits . which is natural , i think . and for many different reasons , i decided it was better not to try to push people who don\u2019t like it to play it .\ndoes it take place in new york ? yes . i had a lot of suggestions to shoot it elsewhere because it\u2019d be much cheaper , but i think for most audiences around the world , it\u2019s a quintessential new york story . so it would be wrong to move it out of new york . but in doing research for the subject , i discovered that the most outrageous nightlife moved from new york , it\u2019s not in new york anymore .\nwas there a japanese influence to the film ? well , kabuki . and when the movie came out , i spoke with a japanese guy who said that because of the kabuki influence it would be hated by all the young japanese kids . because for them kabuki was for old people . but what do i know about japan ?\nhow was the reception in russia ? after perestroika happened , in 1989 they had a program called \u201csex in american film\u201d in moscow . and the first day , one of the organizers of the program came to me and said , listen , there\u2019s a club here that wants to show the film very much , would you permit them to borrow the print ? and i said , what kind of club ? he says , oh a film club , a club for film fans and film lovers . so he gave them the print , and we were going to the club after the screening to speak with the audience \u2014 it was sold out . and i asked the person out front who was in the club , and he said , oh , it\u2019s some police and kgb . it was a police club ! and i thought , my goodness i\u2019m going to go on stage now and speak with them , and they\u2019ll lynch me ! but an audience member stood up and said , \u201clisten , i read an interview where you said you thought russian audiences wouldn\u2019t understand this film . but i don\u2019t know how american audiences understand it \u2014 that\u2019s about our life ! \u201d that\u2019s a russian policeman ."]}

feeling relationship between shahaji and his father - in - law jadhav that tore jijabai apart , having to choose her loyalty between her husband and her father . her father eventually left the kingdom to join forces with the mughals of delhi , against the nizamshahi and revenge against shahaji . jijabai remained with her husband at the fort of shivneri , devotedly standing by his side ; however , she was disappointed with the fact that both he and her father served under other rulers , while she longed for freedom under a kingdom founded by the marathas themselves . together they had eight children , of whom six were daughters and two were sons , shivaji being one of them . praying earnestly to the gods for a son who would become an independent ruler of the maratha clan , her prayer was answered and shivaji grew up to become the founder of the maratha empire .\njijabai was known to be an influential and determined woman who was an embodiment of self - respect and virtue . famed for her fore - sight , jijabai was herself an able warrior and administrator . she passed down her quality traits to the growing shivaji , and instilled within him a sense of duty , courage and fortitude to overcome any hardship arising . under her guidance and care , shivaji developed within him a human touch that saw him harbor a great respect for all women , religious tolerance , and justice , along with the love for his country , his religion and his quest for freedom of maharashtra . shivaji owes his greatness to the inspiration of his mother who dedicated her life to bringing up her son to become one of the greatest rulers of the maratha empire .\nafter jijabai became the queen regent , she moved to poona to manage her husband\u2019s jagir there , taking shivaji with her . in 1666 however , shivaji left for agra , leaving jijabai to manage the affairs of the state . since then , innumerable events in history went on by in jijabai\u2019s life , some good , some tragic and painful , yet she silently bore them . the death of her husband brought her great sorrow . her eldest son sambhaji being slain by afzal khan , whom shivaji later avenged with jijabai\u2019s blessings . however , shivaji\u2019s great conquests like his capture of the fort of thorangadh , his several gallant escapades with the mughals , along with the valiant achievements of heroes like thanaji , baji prabhu , suryaji , who were also inspired by her , brought a unique feeling to her heart as that of a proud mother . jijabai\u2019s dream was fulfilled when she witnessed the coronation of her son , shivaji , as he ascended the golden throne in 1674 , to become leader of the legendary marathas .\nshahaji bhosale . she supported shahaji in making a hindu state on the land which was formerly known as nizamshahi sultanate .\nshe died on 17 june 1674 , just after 12 days of shivaji\u2019s coronation . her samadhi has been built at village \u201cpachad\u201d near fort rajgad .\nthe flyover in bhosari is constructed by pcmc is a median constructed on dighi road besides barricading the dighi road and chandani chowk for streamlining the traffic . with rapid residential and industrial development in bhosari occurring on the outskirts of pimpri -

year of life \u2013 are important risk factors for infant and childhood morbidity and mortality that are only compounded by inappropriate complementary feeding . the life - long impact includes poor school performance , reduced productivity , and impaired intellectual and social development .\nmanagement of severe malnutrition : a manual for physicians and other senior health workers pdf 1 . 2 mb -

third of children in the developing world are underweight or stunted , and more than 30 percent of the developing world\u2019s population suffers from micronutrient deficiencies . moreover , new malnutrition problems are emerging : the epidemic of obesity and diet - related noncommunicable diseases is spreading to the developing world , and malnutrition is linked to the hiv / aids pandemic . repositioning nutrition as central to development : a strategy for large - scale action makes the case that development partners and developing countries must increase investment in nutrition programs . this case is based on evidence that the scale of the problem is very large and that nutrition interventions are essential for speeding poverty reduction , have high benefit - cost ratios , and can improve nutrition much faster than reliance on economic growth alone . moreover , improved nutrition can drive economic growth . the report proposes to the international development community and national governments a global strategy for accelerated action in nutrition .\ncounting on communication : the uganda nutrition and early childhood development project -

term consequences of impaired growth and psychological development . noting that the physiology of malnourished children is seriously abnormal , the manual gives particular attention to aspects of management - whether involving the interpretation of symptoms or the use of specific interventions - that differ considerably from standard procedures for well - nourished children . details range from the reasons why iv infusion easily causes overhydration and heart failure , through a list of treatments that have no value and should never be used , to the simple reminder that underarm temperature is not a reliable guide to body temperature in a malnourished child during rewarming . further practical guidance is provided in eight appendices , which use numerous tables , charts , sample recording forms , instructions for preparing feeds , and examples of easily constructed toys to help ensure that management is thorough , safe , and in line with the latest knowledge .\ncover [ pdf 45kb ] | english [ pdf 400kb ] | french [ pdf 1 . 42mb ] | spanish [ pdf 687kb ] | to order a hard copy\nfull course under preparation in arabic and dari . flyer available in different languages .\nenglish [ pdf 146kb ] | french [ pdf 1 . 18mb ] | spanish [ pdf 1 . 18mb ] | portuguese [ pdf 1 . 18mb ] | russian [ pdf 235kb ] | arabic [ pdf 186kb ]\nthis is a pocket -

vegan diet is just the beginning . the diet portion of \u201ccrazy sexy diet\u201d recommends an alkaline \u2014 versus acidic \u2014 diet , which in more plain terms boils down to eating at least 60 percent raw , with a huge chunk of that raw diet coming from raw greens . the book also recommends an astounding number of supplements \u2014 though the fda has not backed the multitude of vague wellness claims made about many of these . many doctors would question whether the body really needs so many greens ; many more have argued that the body doesn\u2019t require fasting or detoxing , yet the \u201ccrazy sexy diet\u201d recommends an occasional liquid cleanse . the book also recommends colonics \u2014 another medically controversial practice \u2014 and even suggests shooting wheatgrass juice up into your lower bowels . i kid you not .\ncrazy sexy diet is a must - have if you\u2019re ready to take control of your health . kris carr takes a serious topic and makes it fun , engaging and informative . she is an incredible and tireless advocate for health , and she\u2019ll be your coach , confidant and companion page after page .\ncrazy sexy cancer is a documentary filmed and directed by kris carr , which premiered in 2007 at sxsw . kris began her journey with cancer at the age of 31 , in 2003 and decided to brave the elements and share her story with the world . carr\u2019s specific type of cancer was so rare that literally 0 . 01 % of the population has it . during her epic journey to recovery , carr allows viewers to witness her impending emotional expedition , which brings an array of different emotions and stages into view . not only does she showcase her remarkable , awe - inspiring chronicles , she manages to tell the accounts of four additional women fighting cancer , as well .\nper my brilliant friend , she suggested that i watch a documentary made by kris carr , called crazy sexy cancer . immediately after melis made the recommendation , i began researching the documentary . you see , i have a wonderful team of doctor\u2019s that is behind me , ensuring that all of the necessary measures are taken to cure me of my stage 4 colon cancer , to rid me of all of the cancerous cells remaining and ultimately put me back together ; physically . but , what about mentally ?\ncrazy sexy cancer , the documentary film i wrote and directed ( and my loving husband edited ) , premiered at the sxsw film festival and then later aired on tlc and own : the oprah winfrey network . in 2003 , when i was a 31 - year - old actress and photographer , i was diagnosed with a rare and incurable stage iv cancer . weeks later i began filming my story . taking a seemingly tragic situation and turning it into a creative expression , i share my cancer journey with courage , strength and lots of humor . this is truly where my mission , passion and work began\u2026\nher next move , however , is her most audacious , as she looks to make the leap from \u201ccancer person\u201d to \u201ctotal wellness\u201d guru . her third book , \u201ccrazy sexy diet , \u201d which came out in january , became her first new york times best seller , and for the first time for carr , the word \u201ccancer\u201d isn\u2019t on the cover . she is also in the process of consolidating a couple of her various web sites , including crazysexycancer . com , into one megasite under the name crazysexylife .\nkris carr : so the journey started in 2003 on valentine ' s day , when i was diagnosed with a very rare cancer with no cure . because i couldn ' t do treatment options , i went about creating and investigating and experimenting and finding the best diet and lifestyle out there . i talk about it a lot in crazy sexy cancer and my book of the same title , but really , crazy sexy diet is the bible . it ' s an enormous resource filled with everything i ' ve learned for people who are interested in getting well and staying well . we have an outstanding posse of contributors and doctors and wonderful smart people . i think the genesis started with sickness , and now it ' s turning into kind of a wellness revolution that i ' m happily penning from my home in new york .\nkris carr ' s outlook on cancer isn ' t for everyone , but for me it was a perfect fit . being in your 30s with your whole life ahead of you when diagnosed with cancer is shocking , and people react differently . for me , my diagnosis has helped me see with more clarity what ' s important in my life . kris carr ' s positive attitude in this book is exactly how i found myself reacting to my cancer , yet many people around me were skeptical . crazy sexy cancer tips not only helped me see that it wasn ' t wrong of me to feel the way that i did , and also gave me great tips to get through the tough parts and live life to the fullest .\nrio ferdinand jokes he ' s ' coming home ' from his world cup pundit duties in russia . . . after kate wright teases him with very sexy ' belfie '\nkris carr is a filmmaker who was known to her friends for her daring , adventurous and upbeat personality . in february 2003 , carr began feeling ill , and thinking she may have injured herself during yoga class , she went to see a doctor . on valentine ' s day , she got the unexpected word that she was suffering from a rare and virulent form of liver cancer , for which there were few treatments and no known cure . rather than give in to illness and depression , carr decided to make a film about her journey through treatment , determined to use her art to help keep her focused and sane through this profound challenge . carr ' s documentary crazy sexy cancer is her visual record of her struggle to regain her health and how she found a new life along the way as she faces a battery of treatments and therapies with irreverent humor and take - no - prisoners attitude . crazy sexy cancer was screened in competition at the 2007 south by southwest film festival .\nbefore \u201ccrazy sexy cancer\u201d had even been on tv , carr found a way of getting copies of it to a few influential people . \u201ci already knew that people were seeing me as awake , \u201d she says . \u201csomebody who had life force . and if i had that , with this cancer , it became a reflection of how their life could go . \u201d the day donna karan \u2014 the fashion designer who set up a wellness institute called the urban zen foundation after losing her husband to cancer \u2014 received carr\u2019s film , she watched it twice , phoned an assistant and said , \u201cfind this girl . \u201d karan ended up giving carr the launch party for \u201ccrazy sexy cancer\u201d at her house in the hamptons . katie couric , christie brinkley , christy turlington and ed burns attended . the event was covered by vanity fair . the morning after the film was on tv , carr woke up to thousands of e -

based offering ) . she is also a great speaker and magnetic personality so check out her you tube channel , and her other talks online including her interview with oprah .\nbut enough about me . there ' s someone i really want you to meet : kris carr , one of my favorite fellow cancer survivors , whose autobiographical documentary , crazy sexy cancer , airs august 29 on the learning channel . we met three years ago through kris ' cousin suzanne , glamour ' s photo director . kris , who ' s 36 , has epithelioid hemangioendothelioma ( ehe ) , an extremely rare vascular cancer that ' s invaded her lungs and liver . like my cancer , hers struck out of the blue : four years ago she was coming out of a yoga class and felt a searing pain in her side . unlike me , though , there is no proven treatment or cure for kris . and doctors can ' t say how long she has to live .\nwith a disease that has a 100 % fatality rate , kris claims to be a fan of \u201cspontaneous remission . \u201d that girl\u2019s got some strength . seven years later she still has cancer , or what she calls \u201cbeauty marks\u201d which lie dormant . she asserts cancer has been her guru , food her pharmacy and that if she hadn\u2019t made these shifts the cancer would have killed her 4 years ago . but why wait for cancer ?\nin a nutshell : embrace gorgeous greens , beans , legumes , nuts , seeds , whole grains , sea veggies , fruits and vegetables galore . crowd out inflammatory , hormone - filled dairy and other animal products ( even when organic ) by filling your plate with plant - strong , whole foods . and while you\u2019re at it , dump the processed white stuff , especially sugar ( it feeds cancer and other bullshit ) . speaking of sugar , choose low - glycemic fruits and desserts . if you\u2019re not interested in going full tilt vegan , make plants your main dish and lean animal products the side dish . reduce your consumption to 2 - 3 times per week and avoid factory farm products at all costs . for delicious recipes , check out our recipe section at urltoken , crazy sexy juice and crazy sexy kitchen .\nat the same time , she began to record her own journey of dealing with her diagnosis . \u2018i turned the camera on myself just to have somebody to talk to about it , to help me process what was going on in my life , \u2019 she says . \u2018the camera was totally neutral \u2013 it was like having a therapist in my bedroom . \u2019 the therapeutic endeavour eventually became a documentary : crazy sexy cancer . \u2018it took me four years to make the film , and it put me into debt , \u2019 she groans , rolling her big green eyes . but in 2007 , she took the finished film to the south by southwest music and arts festival in texas , and made sure copies found their way into the hands of some influential people . the fashion designer donna karan , who had lost her husband to cancer , threw a launch party for crazy sexy cancer at her house in the hamptons , with a guest list including models christie brinkley and christy turlington , and there was a write - up in vanity fair .\ni wrote a narrative of my cancer story that was therapeutic as well as enlightening for me . i chose to call it \u201cthe good cancer , \u201d and i\u2019m sure all of us with hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma could guess why .\ni began writing about and filming my journey , documenting my interactions with friends , doctors , alternative \u201cquacks , \u201d blind dates and other women with cancer , which is , sadly , a growing group . i compiled my cancer tips into a fun cancer resource book for people who want to navigate their wellness journey with humor and love .\nyes . lung cancer , inoperable \u2013 best case scenario with chemo , i\u2019ll live maybe another couple of years .\nwe\u2019d love your help . let us know what\u2019s wrong with this preview of tropic of cancer by henry miller .\ni agree , kris carr had the resources for her film and activities her unrealistic journey , not realistic to the masses . others are on state funds not actresses . she is glamorizing cancer . nothing about it is real life like . she makes kids without resources feel bad they can\u2019t eat or juice cancer out of themselves . this is like magical positive thinking your cancer away . she should document real children\u2019s and adult death due to cancer instead .\ndearest kris\u2026 . . your book crazy sexy cancer and the documentary was the first time i actually smiled and knew i was on the right track ! that was almost five yrs . ago and although a lumpectomy and then a double mastectomy followed\u2026the love and so smart info i have followed from you my dear has made a huge difference in my continuing thriving\u2026\u2026 . thank you thank you you help so many of us and we love you big time ! ! ! ! ! ! !\nher latest book , crazy sexy kitchen , is the natural follow -

conquering hero \u2013 whereas the pastoral is a sort of musical and biographical cul - de - sac . and whatever its veracity , the image of beethoven the nature - loving hippy has proved a much less enticing idea for historians to appropriate than beethoven storming the gates of revolution in a blaze of c major glory , as he does at the end of the fifth .\ntwo german -

and struck gold . the film was called\nsaturday night fever\nandhas the best - selling soundtrack of all time . a tribute from billy joel\nwritten in three movements , each offers filmmakers many inspiring sections , from quick action to mellow contemplation . the opening of movement 2 , the\nadagio cantabile\nis particularly popular , especially for highly dramatic moments in a film .\ncool old lady : if she wasn ' t so criminally negligent , the babysitter in the first film could come across as this . her idea of entertaining the kids is to play\nlady marmalade\non the piano for them .\nthis recent addition to top dog films is as warm as the colour of marley ' s yellow coat . an easy and engaging film , it is funny and sentimental in just the right places , making its box office success unsurprising .\nf\u00fcr elise is a solo piano that beethoven wrote around 1810 , but it was not discovered until 1867 , 40 years after his death . you will also hear it with an orchestral arrangement in the background .\nmany others simply go for the quick buck and mass produce new movies . though a huge flop or critically panned film can halt the sequel frenzy , there have been cases when sequels continue to be made long after audiences and critics gave up .\nprior to beethoven , grodin was offered the lead in the graduate but because of money issues the deal fell through . since then he has starred in zach braff\u2019s the ex alongside jason bateman , but not much else .\neven if it does contain cgi enhanced puppy dog eyes \u2013 like a strange bulging nietzschean abyss - it was never anything approaching hateful , even if it wasn ' t exactly gripping . if you have a tiny human creature to look after , and have run out of absolutely every option apart from a nearby pound shop , this is the film for you . if you like a script that tries really hard to avoid using the phrase ' santa ' s sack ' , this is also for you . if you can tolerate the fact that beethoven gains the power of flight at the end of the movie for the knowingly silly moment that it is , then yes , this film is sufficiently diverting for its duration .\nin to joy bergman dedicates his full attention to a theme that will recur in smaller filmic moments throughout his career : the idea of music ' s redemptive power . in a frenetic performance , actor stig olin plays an ambitious concert violinist of mercurial temperament who ends up sacrificing nearly everything for his career . the fact that his orchestra conductor is in turn played by victor sj\u00f6str\u00f6m , the grand old master director of the swedish silent cinema ( and bergman ' s main cinematic mentor as well ) , only adds to the resonances of this film as a personal parable of bergman ' s own filmmaking . beethoven ' s music , the source for the title , is equated by film ' s end with the momentary but intense joy of the swedish summer , leading bergman biographer peter cowie to cull from this film an artistic manifesto of sorts : ' there are brief instances in life that are of such exquisite beauty that they compensate for all the misery and unhappiness .

dimensionality of the jewish - american \u201cbasterds . \u201d indeed , though inglourious basterds is ostensibly about them , they are in fact barely more than extras in the film . when they are not slicing and dicing their german victims , they are only rarely on screen and they have hardly any dialogue \u2014 especially when compared to the german - language gab fests . only eli roth\u2019s skull - crushing \u201cdonowitz\u201d plays a marginally more substantial role .\nmaking $ 3 . 8 million for a $ 110 . 1 million 31 - day haul , inglourious basterds surpassed pulp fiction to become quentin tarantino ' s highest - grossing movie , but it will never reach that picture ' s level of attendance .\nthe first moviegoers to see inglourious basterds on friday night were quick to tweet positive messages about the second world war adventure . that helped the film to keep up momentum over the weekend , said the hollywood reporter , despite lukewarm reviews from professional critics .\nwith a $ 37 . 6 million opening weekend , the spaghetti western - flecked world war ii epic\ninglourious basterds\nhas become the biggest box - office debut of quentin tarantino ' s career . but it almost turned out to be quite a different movie , and if it had , there ' s no telling how\nbasterds\nwould have fared .\n\u201cinglourious basterds\u201d takes its cue from films tarantino loves ( nothing new there ) . but this time around he mixes anti - establishment war films like \u201cthe dirty dozen\u201d and \u201ckelly\u2019s heroes\u201d with sergio leone\u2019s spaghetti westerns to deliver a spaghetti war drama that rewrites history .\nhow can history have allowed hitler to dispatch himself so miserably and furtively in a dreary bunker ? only a spectacular armageddon of jewish revenge of the kind inglourious basterds delivers could possibly have provided a fitting end for the f\u00fchrer . reality got this one wrong .\nafter years of on - and - off writing the script and a fourteen - week pre - production , filming of quentin tarantino ' s \u201cinglourious basterds\u201d began on october 9 , 2008 in the small german town of bad schandau , near the czech border .\nthere ' s an intriguing haiti benefit coming up this thursday in los angeles centered around popmatters # 1 film of 2009 , inglourious basterds . quentin tarantino and the weinstein company are partnering with upper playground to present\nthe lost art of inglourious basterds\nfrom 6 : 00 - 9 : 00pm . artists were commissioned to create 13 limited edition posters that will be signed by the director and sold for haiti relief . only six reproductions of each poster will be made , so these will be highly collectible indeed .\nwith inglourious basterds , quentin tarantino has managed to create something entirely new : a story of emotionally uncomplicated , physically threatening , non - morally - anguished jews dealing out spaghetti - western justice to nazis . it\u2019s a film no jewish director could have made .\nbut the main weakness in \u201cinglourious basterds\u201d is the supporting cast . tarantino normally packs his film with a brilliant supporting cast , even people with a single line prove memorable . but here , only waltz , pitt , and schweiger make a real impression . the women \u2013 diane krueger as a german actress and melanie laurent as the vengeful french resistance fighter \u2013 are lovely but bland . you don\u2019t feel that depth of casting that has marked every other tarantino film to date . unlike \u201cthe dirty dozen , \u201d \u201cinglourious basterds\u201d doesn\u2019t give us a whole unit of memorable soldiers . once you see \u201cthe dirty dozen\u201d you\u2019ll always remember john cassavetes or jim brown or telly savalas because the actors made the parts vivid . in \u201cinglourious basterds , \u201d everyone except hugo and the bear jew blur together .\ni found inglourious basterds , like most of tarantino\u2019s films , to be highly entertaining , with the entertainment primarily derived from the brilliantly written dialogue . engaging dialogue has long been a great strength of tarantino . nevertheless , the film could have been so much more .\nbut does\ninglourious basterds\n\u2014 and the german public\u2019s reaction to it \u2014 really tells us anything about germany today , about the germans\u2019 earnest attempts to atone for their past ? have the decades of earnest soul - searching come to an end ? after all , yet another generation has come of age since reunification , one even further removed from the nazi era\u2019s crimes . does the reception of\ninglourious basterds\nmean germans are open to thinking in new ways about the nazis and the crimes of the third reich ?\nwhen \u201cinglourious basterds\u201d had its german premi\u00e8re in berlin , after one particularly nasty scene , in which christoph waltz plays the s . s . man hans landa , an old - school murderer , sadist , and middle - brow intellectual , spontaneous applause broke out .\ni disagree that the point was to use film as an opportunity to simply take revenge on the nazis . the scene where hitler expresses anger at the inglourious basterds mimicked the kind of dialogue that the allies expressed against hitler - it felt as if tarantino deliberately switched the roles that the two parties played , explored and made evident that the\nbad guys\naren ' t the only ones who are violent , gruesome , cruel - even the\ngood guys\n( the inglourious basterds ) can be just as unnecessarily heinous .\nthe 2010 bafta nominations have been announced , and three films boast a whopping eight nominations , with avatar , an education and the hurt locker leading the pack . just behind is district 9 with seven , followed by up in the air and inglourious basterds with six .\naccording to seesslen , the genius of\ninglourious basterds\nis that it \u201chas the audacity to ignore history . \u201d in some cases , he argues , pure cinematic fantasy can do a better job of getting to the truth than historical authenticity : fiction trumps reality .\nat cannes some questioned the tastefulness of \u201cinglourious basterds , \u201d a violent revenge fantasy that , as mr . tarantino excitedly put it at his news conference , uses the power of cinema ( and the flammable properties of celluloid ) to \u201cbring down the third reich . \u201d\n2000s : brokeback mountain ; crash ; the hurt locker ; inglourious basterds ; juno ; lord of the rings : fellowship of the ring ; million dollar baby ; monster ; the pianist ; slumdog millionaire ; ( honorary mentions : bowling for columbine ; memento ; twilight . )\ni finally ( holidays ! ) caught up with your comment on my inglourious basters blog . thanks for agreeing . try the current one on horror movies .\nby my count , there were originally nine basterds . wicki dies in the bar , aldo and utivich survive , and donny and omar die in the theater . this means there are four basterds unaccounted for by the end of the film .\nthe major\u2019s interaction with the basterds in this scene provides us insight into his character . for example , major hellstrom\u2019s ability to recognize simple gestures is indicative of his keen observance and heightened reasoning skills . in addition , the use and misuse of foreign language in this scene facilitates conflict in inglourious basterds ; it is the catalyst for the downfall of the basterds as a group and for the death of bridget once colonel landa discovers her shoe at the bar and recognizes that they were involved in the deadly actions that transpired .\ninglourious basterds is a film written and directed quentin tarantino and released in 2009 . it is based in world war ii and tells a fictional alternate history . without giving away too many spoilers to people that have no seen the movie as of yet , here is a synopsis :\nwhile is no news surrounding a broadway revival of our beloved inglourious basterds ( although that would be something , wouldn\u2019t it ? ) , tarantino has already stated that he wants his most recent production , \u201cthe hateful eight\u201d , to have a broadway adaptation by the end of 2016 .\nand as only tarantino can , with unmatched audacity , the film ' s last line is as loaded with self - referential meta - commentary as a line can be - - and i must admit , it ' s right . inglourious basterds is quentin tarantino ' s masterpiece .\nwhy aren ' t the basterds surprised when the theater catches on fire ? that wasn ' t part of their plan .\ni was already half way out the door when the weinstein company put a little new year\u2019s eve gift out for us . their website ( they now allow linking to indivual movies , yay ) lists august 21 , 2009 ( mark your calendards , you basterds ! ) as the official us release date for inglourious basterds . now go and party ! ( thanks to joblo and comingsoon for the heads up )\nit\u2019s not enough to say that \u201cinglourious basterds\u201d is quentin tarantino\u2019s best movie . it\u2019s the first movie of his artistic maturity , the film his talent has been promising for more than 15 years . the picture contains all the things his fans like about tarantino - the wit , the audacity , the sudden violence - but this movie\u2019s emotional core and bigness of spirit are new\u2026 . \u201cinglourious basterds\u201d provides exhilarating release , but it\u2019s also a deeply sad film . it leaves the audience suspended in a tangle of strong and conflicting thoughts and feelings , the hallmark of great art . \u201d\nazoury\u2019s notion of tarantino\u2019s movie - centricity echoes critics here , as , for instance , j . hoberman , who writes , in the village voice , \u201cin a sense , \u2018inglourious basterds\u2019 is a form of science fiction . everything unfolds in and maps an alternate universe : the movies . \u201d\nhe first sensed pitt could be a strong contender for the role of aldo raine , the\nfast -

movie director eli roth\u2014his film hostel is the most repulsively violent movie i\u2019ve ever seen twice\u2014plays a basterd known as the \u201cbear jew , \u201d whose specialty is braining germans with a baseball bat . roth told me recently that inglourious basterds falls into a subgenre he calls \u201ckosher porn . \u201d\nunless indicated otherwise , the text in this article is either based on wikipedia article\ninglourious basterds\nor another language wikipedia page thereof used under the terms of the gnu free documentation license ; or on original research by jahsonic and friends . see art and popular culture ' s copyright notice .\neli roth told me that tarantino came to his home for passover just as he was wrestling with the final act of basterds .\nwith an opening gross of \u00a33 . 6m , inglourious basterds defied sunny skies and england ' s ashes cricket triumph to post the biggest ever uk debut for a quentin tarantino film . that ' s the simple version , anyway . of course , it ' s a bit more complicated than that .\n[ t ] oo often in\ninglourious basterds\nthe filmmaking falls short . mr . tarantino is a great writer and director of individual scenes , though he can have trouble putting those together , a difficulty that has sometimes been obscured by the clever temporal kinks in his earlier work .\ninglourious basterds won its actor christoph waltz an academy award , a golden globe , a bafta , a sag award , and a critic ' s choice movie award , marking him as the 14th actor , the 8th male actor , and the 3rd male actor in a supporting role to do so .\nthe scene takes place toward the end of quentin tarantino ' s rollicking world war ii action -

ever mobile commerce ad campaign .\nquentin tarantino \u2019s \u201cinglourious basterds\u201d is a big , bold , audacious war movie that will annoy some , startle others and demonstrate once again that he\u2019s the real thing , a director of quixotic delights . for starters ( and at this late stage after the premiere in may at cannes , i don\u2019t believe i\u2019m spoiling anything ) , he provides world war ii with a much - needed alternative ending . for once the basterds get what\u2019s coming to them .\nwalking out of the theater , i was buzzing : like every tarantino film , inglourious basterds delivers zippy entertainment , masterful filmmaking , and intelligent dialogue . this one , however , injects the fun with larger questions about revenge and national character . for me , the extra layer makes this tarantino ' s best movie .\nthe\ntalking with your mouth full\nis a common theme in a lot of sergio leone ' s work , which inglourious basterds is clearly inspired by . one of the opening scenes in a fistful of dynamite is literally nothing but rich people eating rich food , the camera panning in on their open mouths .\nthat leaves story . inglourious basterds doesn\u2019t really care about that , either . it just blasts ahead , full of its own energy , resisting categorization . it is not a boring film . saving private ryan has a very simple story , but its inexorable unveiling feels deep and rich . it is not an easy film .\nother crucial actors in the inglorious basterds are christopher waltz acting as col . hans landa . he has been up to plenty , including acting in more of tarrantino\u2019s movies ( like django unchained ) , as well as being one of the top 10 liked actors of inglorious basterds ) .\nmany reviewers in the united states have called the film a jewish revenge fantasy against the third reich , which , undoubtedly , it is . the last scene of the movie indulges this fantasy in a fantastic , yet unbelievable way .

they couldn ' t have not noticed it , because the whole audience was running to the doors and the actors playing those two basterds said they almost collapsed from the heat in that scene .\nthe use of various foreign languages is significant throughout inglourious basterds . characters that are multilingual , particularly colonel hans landa , posses sly personalities that are used to manipulate others for their own benefit . simultaneously , a lack in multilingualism leads to the downfall of characters . however , in the end , the movie also displays that multilingualism can only aid one so much ; landa is eventually cornered by the basterds and they carve a swastika into his forehead so that he may never use his abilities to manipulate others again .\nin other words , torture porn ' s poster boy - - the filmmaker who committed to celluloid such images as a cheerleader jumping into the air and doing a split onto a gigantic hunting knife - - and the guy who ruthlessly bludgeons , bombs and machine guns every nazi in his path in\ninglourious basterds\nfinally got to taste the pain himself .\n( entertainment weekly ) - - score a personal best at the box office for quentin tarantino this weekend .\ninglourious basterds ,\nhis revisionist take on wwii starring brad pitt , grossed an estimated $ 37 . 6 million , besting the reigning box office champ\ndistrict 9 ,\nand giving beleaguered studio the weinstein co . a little financial relief .\nmoreover , to the extent there is anything in inglourious basterds that is recognizable as an intended joke , it is the germans that tell the jokes and the americans / jews who are the butt of them . these include , for instance , a snobbish gag about the americans\u2019 lack of knowledge of foreign languages and even a \u201cjoke\u201d about the small stature of one of the \u201cbasterds . \u201d the tongue - tied americans attempting to pass themselves off as italians cut sorry , buffoonish figures as compared to the sophisticated and multilingual landa .\nin the case of quentin tarantino\u2019s inglorious basterds , the film doesn\u2019t just have greatness in it , there\u2019s mighty rivers of greatness simply leaking out of the thing .\ninglourious basterds is a 2\u00bd - hr . period piece \u0097 a war movie with no battle scenes and lots of talk , most of it in french or german . except for brad pitt , all of its main actors are unknown to the mass american audience . its writer - director ' s last film , grindhouse , earned only $ 25 million in its entire domestic run . and harvey weinstein , whose troubled company is distributing basterds , was widely quoted as telling gq ,\nit isn ' t funny ; it isn ' t exciting . . . it isn ' t emotionally involving . . . brad pitt gives the worst performance of his life .\nactually , those words weren ' t weinstein ' s ; they were from peter bradshaw ' s early review of the movie in the guardian . but the appearance of the misquote on so many websites spread the idea that basterds was an iffy business proposition , and that its friday opening might prove to be a night of the long knives .

there are a variety of actors that acts as casts in the inglorious basterds include the following : brad pitt is the main cast or actor in the inglorious basterds . he is an actor who has been brought out as the first lieutenant aldo \u201cthe apache\u201d raine . his main role as the main actor in the inglorious basterds is to enhance or implement all the recruitment drives aimed at propelling forward . for instance brad pitt acting as the first lieutenant aldo \u201cthe apache\u201d raine recruits jewish americans with the aim of ensuring that they win the war while utilizing the determination of the jewish - american soldiers .\nquentin tarantino and robert rodriguez joined forces for the faux double bill \u201cgrindhouse\u201d just a few years ago . now they find themselves with separate and very different releases going head to head at this weekend\u2019s box office . tarantino\u2019s serving up \u201cinglourious basterds\u201d ( opening august 21 throughout san diego ) and rodriguez delivers another one of his family films \u201cshorts\u201d ( opening august 21 throughout san diego ) .\ni think tarantino knows that . the way i see it , if inglourous basterds isn ' t about nazis , then it can ' t explore its larger theme .\nmaybe the basterds shot at them first , and then they were just returning fire indiscriminately at the officer ' s table , because nobody was rational at that point .\nit ' s been suggested that we ' re expected to take brad pitt ' s final line in inglourious basterds as the director ' s comment on his film .\ni think this just might be my masterpiece\ncertainly seems over the top for the routine ( for the movies ) bit of nazi - mutilation it apparently refers to . quentin tarantino worked on basterds for a decade . he ' s said he wants it to sit alongside pulp fiction in people ' s dvd collections . yet at first glance , such an ambition looks eccentric .\na tarantino film resists categorization . \u201cinglourious basterds\u201d is no more about war than \u201c pulp fiction \u201d is about \u2014 what the hell is it about ? of course nothing in the movie is possible , except that it\u2019s so bloody entertaining . his actors don\u2019t chew the scenery , but they lick it . he\u2019s a master at bringing performances as far as they can go toward iconographic exaggeration .\n\u201cthe wide variety of perspectives with which the articles in this anthology approach quentin tarantino ' s inglourious basterds account for the film ' s large - scale significance as one of the grand works of cinematic art in the twenty - first century . therefore this book is an important contribution to the controversies tarantino ' s ' masterpiece ' launched all across the globe . being the first collection of scholarly essays solely dedicated to inglourious basterds , it provides an excellent overview of the film ' s complex and often provocative stands toward history , gender , war movie genres , violence , victimization and the representation of nazi aesthetics , as well as of the range of cinematic techniques by which the film achieves its drastic effectivity . - - mimmi woisnitza , university of chicago , germanic studies\u201d \u2013\nso it was nazis vs aliens at the box office . in terms of negative cost , the two pics are $ 72m vs $ 30m . but i\u2019ve learned that while district 9 only has a small gross participation for peter jackson and nobody else associated with the film , inglourious basterds has a big gross participation for both tarantino and star brad pitt . film financing circles tell me the film has to make more than $ 60m , and others say it\u2019s $ 80m , in north america in order to earn out . but they also expect a 70 % drop for inglourious basterds next weekend because most college campuses around the country will be back in session \u2014 and that\u2019s bad for biz . which is why the weinstein company\u2019s release of halloween 2 that weekend is so inexplicable .\ninglourious basterds has nothing really to say about war \u2014 its purpose is essentially to be a quentin tarantino flick . as such , it\u2019s excellent , probably one of his best or at least his best entertainment since pulp fiction . but i\u2019m not looking for a revenge fantasy when i pay my admission to a movie set during the years of the holocaust . i\u2019m looking for understanding and insight . for me , saving private ryan serves it up in a way that not only honors the men who gave their lives to defeat the nazis , it lets me feel their loss . i didn\u2019t feel anything about inglourious basterds except sadness that a generation is now going to think aldo raines & his men ended the war by killing hitler . our smackdown winner now is saving private ryan .\ninglourious basterds , the new film written and directed by quentin tarantino , has caused much fanfare , but also controversy . perhaps the principal reason for this is that the film deliberately re - writes history . indeed , last week the australian centre for jewish civilisation in association with the research unit in film and cultural theory at monash university held a well - attended panel discussion on this topic .\nthis movie was brilliant . brad pitt doing an tennesee accent of an eye - talian accent was fantastic . i also dare you to look at a bowie knife or a baseball bat in the same way . if only reality could have played out inglourious basterds style and we would have ( spoiler alert ) taken hitler out in a burnt down , blown up , machine gun riddled theater ."]}

[ read the whole post on screenanarchy . com . . . ]\nwritten and directed by ermanno olmi , this is a fine example of italian neo - realist cinema . the tree of wooden clogs was taken from stories olmi ' s grandmother told him and is set in lombardy around the turn of the century . this 1978 film uses people from the area as actors , and is not only an attack on an outmoded social system but an almost mystical affirmation of the relationship of man to nature , for instance , the tree of the title is cut down by a father to make a pair of clogs for his son . there are ravishing depictions of the changing seasons in a stunning part of lombardy . this is a documentary that isn ' t a documentary .\ncritic dave kehr of the chicago reader calls the tree of the wooden clogs\nless an advance over the standard film festival peasant epic than an unusually accomplished rendition of it ,\nand speaks of a\nmarxist sentimentalism\ninherent in its subject matter and approach . this seems to me misleading . olmi\u2019s film may be best thought of , not as an attempted advance over the typically marxist neorealist peasant epic , but as a redemption of it .\nliving on a farm in the italian province of bergamo , a group of peasant families scratch out a living . advised that his son should be educated , batisti ( ornaghi ) sacrifices the help in the fields and sends him to school six miles away in a pair of wooden clogs .\nthese films offer an implicit critique of the working world that would come to the fore in the tree of wooden clogs . viewed today , the film is so gravely critical of the ruling class of landowners that it is hard to believe it was reviled by some critics at the time of its release as a defense of feudalism , a sort of catholic - populist vision idealizing resigned humility in the face of oppressive power . and it\u2019s true that the family and the church are uncontested seats of moral values in tree . the film\u2019s great and undeniable religious intensity was considered reactionary and mystifying by some left - wing critics , who accused olmi of being an enemy of modernity and an apologist for an unchanging natural world .\nthe lives of the peasant families in the tree of wooden clogs are hard , but also rich and full of joy . they are free of modern existential dilemmas regarding who they are and what they should do , and take pleasure in the most basic aspects of life : a warm fire , a good meal , the love of family and a close sense of community . rites of passage , like marriage and childbirth , loom large in their world , as do the rituals of catholicism , which are as much a part of daily life as breathing .\nthe beginings of the algerian revolution as seen through the eyes of a peasant .\nthe title comes from a small incident that has vast consequences , bringing to mind that old rhyme about how a kingdom was lost \u201call for the want of a horseshoe nail . \u201d in the tree of wooden clogs , the chain of events starts with the village priest telling a peasant family that their son minec ( omar brignoli , like most of the cast a non - professional from the bergamo region where the story is set ) is bright and should attend the village school . the father is reluctant because he was planning to put the boy to work ; the family has a new baby on the way . but the priest says it\u2019s god\u2019s will , so it\u2019s off to school for little minec , who must walk the eight - mile round trip each day , through all kinds of weather , in his handmade wooden clogs .\nbut olmi has a tendency to grow too sentimental about those lives . the film ' s central image is of the peasant batisti cutting down the poplar tree to make the sandal for his child . as he sits in his kitchen shaping the clog shoe , organ music by bach plays on the soundtrack . and later the peasant family will be thrown off the land for stealing the tree .\nin a world of absolutes and cruel consequences , if an entire family\u2019s future is destroyed due to the cutting of a single tree , then that\u2019s simply how things are .\ntwo european classics are also heading for release in october . ermanno olmi ' s the tree of wooden clogs ( 1978 ) won the palme d ' or at cannes ; it ' s described as a neorealist look at italian farm life in the 19th century . dating from 1963 , meanwhile , the exectioner is described as\na darkly comedic and fiercely subversive political satire by luis garc\u00eda berlanga , regarded by filmmaker pedro almod\u00f3var as ' the true father of spanish cinema . '\nermanno olmi , the italian director best known for winning the palme d\u2019or at cannes in 1978 with his drama \u201c the tree of wooden clogs , \u201d has died at 86 . the director passed away in asiago , northern italy , not far from where he ran the ipotesi cinema film school since the 1980s ( via variety ) . olmi had reportedly been ill for some time , but the exact cause of death is not known at this time . olmi received his breakthrough with his 1961 drama \u201c il posto , \u201d an italian neorealism riff that made him a name at the venice film festival and won him the best director prize at italy\u2019s david di donatello awards . \u201cwooden clogs\u201d took home the palme in 1978 , in addition to winning the c\u00e9sar award for best foreign film . olmi\u2019s other notable work is \u201c the legend of the holy drinker , \u201d starring rutger hauer , which won the golden lion at the 1988 venice film festival .\nermanno olmi , the master italian neorealist director who received the palme d ' or from the cannes film festival in 1978 for the tree of wooden clogs , has died . he was 86 . olmi died saturday in asiago , italy , a hospital spokesperson told the hollywood reporter . no cause of death was given .\nwith ermanno olmi we lost a master of cinema and a great example of culture and of life . his enchanted gaze told us and made us understand the roots of our country ,\nitalian prime minister paolo gentiloni tweeted monday . olmi ' s body of work is revered within the film industry . his 1961 . . .\nbut it could be none of the above . or some of the below .\ni can understand those reactions without sharing them . olmi is going for broke in this film - he obviously intended it to be great , to dare everything - and because we are in sympathy with him we want to say he succeeds . but\nthe tree of wooden clogs\ndemands a more complex response than that . if it is indeed very good , let ' s not dismiss it with routine humanist overpraise .\nwe grow devout in the presence of poverty , particularly when it is not our own . we find an ennobling dignity in the lives of poor people , especially if they lived long ago and far away and don ' t make any present demands on our time and money . there ' s a natural tendency toward overcompensation when we see a movie like ermanno olmi ' s\nthe tree of wooden clogs .\nwe say the movie is a masterpiece when we mean that it is about people we pity and respect .\nin every crisis , she snatches a few minutes to pray for help , and it always comes . olmi would return to the theme of divine providence ten years later in another famous film , the legend of the holy drinker , starring rutger hauer as a devout but weak - willed vagabond in paris who seeks to repay his debt of 200 francs to saint th\u00e9r\u00e8se of lisieux . this captivating fable , which won the golden lion in venice , has many of the same emotional contact points as the tree of wooden clogs : the anguish of poverty , the helplessness of outsiders and the oppressed , and the assurance that a benign force exists in the universe that will always come to the aid of those who have faith . the holy drinker is as much a beneficiary of this force as the widow runk and her neighbors , who recite the rosary together every evening after enjoying a good round of ghost stories .\nthe script , he has said , was in his head for some years and was largely composed of remembered incidents from his own childhood ; however , an overblown sequence such as the loss of pinard\u2019s coin ( he hides it in a horse\u2019s shoe ) , and the subsequent visit of the \u2018sign woman\u2019 to the distraught peasant , would have been better left in the recesses of memory . nevertheless , the film as a whole contains enough images ( and sustained sequences ) of tranquillity , harmony and dignity \u2013 the boat ride to milan , the communal storytelling in the stable , peppino\u2019s affirmation that his mother will not be separated from her youngest children \u2013 for the tree of wooden clogs to stand , in these unoptimistic days , as a haunting testament to both the inevitability of temporal change and the persistence of the roman catholic faith .\nitalian drama written and directed by ermanno olmi . on a turn - of - the - century farm in italy , various families work for the farm owner and are paid according to their productivity . one particular family has a gifted young boy , who they decide to send to school rather than force into manual labour . however , with the child having to walk many miles to get to the nearest school , the family are forced to make him some wooden clogs made from tree branches while also risking the wrath of the strict farm owner . the cast includes luigi ornaghi , francesca moriggi , omar brignoli and antonio ferrari .\nthe brand of janus films means a hell of a lot in the art and repertory film world . be it their promotion of new releases like the stunning cameraperson or their support of touring film series like that devoted to charlie chaplin or the wim wenders road pictures , one sees the name janus films and the gorgeous logo and instantly an understanding of either the quality or the cultural import of what one is about to watch is instilled . and that\u2019s what makes janus throwing support behind a seemingly forgotten film , an award winning picture that\u2019s all but disappeared in the public eye , is so important . that\u2019s exactly the case when talking about their latest repertory offering . a palme d\u2019or winning epic , director ermanno olmi saw great success with his gorgeous and sprawling the tree of wooden clogs in 1978 , but as is the case with much\n, is a prime example . originally made as a three - part television series , it is the very essence of\nslice of life\nfilmmaking , focusing on a year in the lives of several peasant families working as tenant farmers in northern italy ' s rural lombardy region at the end of the 19th century . the title refers to a peasant father who chops a tree down to make clogs for his son so he can go to school , and the consequences of his actions . the film won the palme d ' or as best film at the cannes film festival -

century european warfare , made in 2001 by ermanno olmi ( the tree of wooden clogs , il posto ) , a post - neorealist whose name recognition in the united states probably exceeds his viewership . i have a nagging suspicion that i myself have never given the man his proper due . in watching the profession of arms , the first things a viewer learns about political life in the europe of . . .\nalthough olmi\u2019s films shine with the light of his strong christian faith , they are never sectarian and never exclude the nonreligious viewer from their luminous storytelling and fablelike powers of fascination . he has set out on a lifelong quest to find a deeper truth in humble , everyday characters and settings , a search strongly influenced by the humanist work of the neorealist masters roberto rossellini and vittorio de sica , who just preceded his arrival on the cinema scene . it is a search that has taken him on a very different path from that of his fellow directors . though he has walked down a few blind alleys in his over - sixty - year career , he has also authored some of italy\u2019s most memorable films . among them , the tree of wooden clogs is widely considered his masterpiece .\nthe assuming of responsibility by individuals , the use of science for man and not against him , the duty of truth to increase the stature of people , all together : these are the important . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe tree belongs to the landlord ( as he does nearly everything on the tenant farm where minec and his family live ) , and when he discovers the \u201ctheft\u201d , the family is evicted . the last scenes show them loading a cart with their possessions , in the dim moonlight , while the other tenant families watch from behind closed their curtains . there\u2019s no discussion and no explanation because these peasants live in a world of absolutes and cruel consequences , and if an entire family\u2019s future is destroyed due to the cutting of a single tree , then that\u2019s simply how things are .\nquite strangely , the names of the actors are listed as\nlast name first name\n, while the names of the rest of the crew are correctly listed as\nfirst name last name\n.\nan in -

thirds of the harvest and whose dire justice is untempered by the slightest mercy or compassion . olmi\u2019s film may be devoid of violent revolutionary spirit , but his stark refusal in any way to soften or mitigate the catastrophic consequences of a morally justifiable but socially unacceptable act make resignation an impossible response for the viewer , if not for the characters .\nin the development of television ,\ncolor wars\nare analogous to the adoption of vhs over betamax and blu - ray over hd - dvd technologies . murray ' s study shows how the adoption of standards in media technology directly impact audiences to this day .\n, olmi spent an entire year editing the film .\nthe editing is the moment when all the emotions i felt when i began to think about the film , to conceive it , to choose the locations , the faces - - all these things - - the editing is the moment when everything comes together ,\nhe told cardullo .\nolmi has frequently focused on the dignity of labour , yet he was accused of sentimentalising poverty by critics who questioned his marxist catholic credentials . some mocked the edenic references and the miraculous recovery of widow runk\u2019s cow , while others noted the protests that the newlyweds witness after their thrilling barge trip to milan ; they damned olmi for not having the peasants similarly rise up against injustice .\naway from the mud and mists , however , the interiors have a spartan cosiness , as the neighbours end their back - breaking days with the rosary or a ghost story . as the characters become more familiar , olmi makes greater use of close - ups , which only makes the climactic detachment all the more harrowing .\non a northern italian farm in the late 19th century , a group of sharecroppers eke out a threadbare existence . a priest advises batisti ( luigi ornaghi ) and his wife , batistina ( francesca moriggi ) , that their young son , minec ( omar brignoli ) , should be formally educated , so they sacrifice his help in the fields and send him to school . when minec ' s wooden shoe breaks one day , batisti - - in an act of desperation - - puts the family ' s future at risk to replace the clog .\nrmanno olmi is a director who has raised the moral bar for contemporary italian cinema . the sacredness of life , the dignity of work , and the human yearning for contact with god are themes that deeply color his work , but nowhere so movingly as in\n. all conflicts had been resolved as the crowd cheered them , and they cheered their\nteacher .\nfor the class of\nthe style of this long , solidly acted film is no more than efficient . what sticks in the mind is the numbing information imparted : that the camorra is a gangster empire that earned 150 billion euros just last year ; that in addition to dealing in drugs and arms it invests in legitimate businesses around the world , including the reconstruction of the world trade center ; that in the past three decades the camorra has murdered more people than al qaeda . it is these statistics , rather than the movie ' s ordinary craft , that hold the real power and horror of gomorrah .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\n. also taking as its subject the rigors of peasant life , this time in the emilia - romagna region , that film chronicles the birth of the class struggle between those who worked the land and those who harvested the profits of their labors . the two films are fascinating as companion pieces , creating a dizzying contrast between bertolucci\u2019s ambitious essay on italy\u2019s social , political , and cultural history and olmi\u2019s humble realism fraught with miracles .\nwere towering figures of cinema\u2019s first two decades . by 1920 , each found it harder and harder to get projects off the ground .\nshe then turns to the careers of two women who broke into the directors guild ,\n| a details the life of three peasant families in 19th century italy . evokes the time and place rather than telling a narrative .\nsince any new york city cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options , we figured it\u2019d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list . displayed below are a few of the city\u2019s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings \u2014 films you\u2019re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon , and many of which are , also , on 35mm . if you have a chance to attend any of these , we\u2019re of the mind that it\u2019s time extremely well -

limits to canine superstar uggie - with a spokesperson for the weinstein company revealing earlier today that\nuggie has not been asked to participate or appear at the oscars\n- but that didn ' t stop the pooch from stealing the show at the inaugural golden collar awards at a ceremony in los angeles , california on monday evening . devised by dognewsdaily in order to ' recognise canine excellence in hollywood films ' , the golden collar awards saw uggie receive two nominations for best dog in a theatrical film for his work in the artist and water for elephants , taking home the gong for the former and adding to a growing list of accolades for the acclaimed silent feature that includes the prestigious palm dog at the cannes film festival , not to mention a few others for its human cast and crew . other stars attending the ceremony included the artist\na sequel to the greatest christmas film of all time is finally being made , without its original star . it ' s turbo time again . but not the turbo time you remember . that turbo time is gone forever , like a a fart from ted the reindeer in the winter wind . admit it : jingle all the way is a guilty pleasure that is best consumed in secret every holiday , like cheap boxed wine . even now , the classic lines from that film are running through your head with a bad austrian accent tied to it . if you felt a great disturbance in the force today , it was because millions of jingle all the way fans screamed out in terror , and were suddenly silenced . it came as news broke that twentieth century fox and wwe studios ( yeah , there ' s a movie studio for a fake sport ) were teaming up on a jingle all the way sequel . it\nmy family enjoyed the first in this\nseries\n, but this one fell far short of the first . the acting is poorly done , the type one envisions in soap operas ( i don ' t watch them , which is why i say envisions ) . there is the now too usual disney stpudity of things like the\nfather\ndog urinating on paperwork from a bank to stop the bank from using the paperwork . why disney has stuff like that in its products i will never understand . at the end of the day this movie will mostly please little ones , which makes it all the more of a shame they have stuff like that in the movie . i ' m glad i got this through amazon ' s new / used option and paid very little . it wasn ' t even worth that .\nuniversal pictures has found its director for its planned reboot of the little rascals , handing the reins to alex zamm . now , be honest . raise your hand if you knew that universal had designs on an our gang reboot . and keep them raised if urltoken ever heard of zamm . not too many of you out there , it seems . zamm . s directorial credits include . are you ready for this ? . carrot top . s chairman of the board from 1998 , as well as the straight -

close shots of the parts of the ritual de lo habitual album cover . the front of the singles , and the disc of the three days promo include close up shots of the golden baby doll sculpture found on the left side of the parent album cover . the backs of the singles , and the disc of the stop ! promo include a close up shot of the crucified doll hanging to the right of the main sculpture on the parent album cover .\n* * this piece originally ran in 2013 , and engaged with topics central to soundgarden\u2019s work , including depression , addiction , and suicide . at the time , these seemed to be issues of their past . we\u2019re publishing this list again today with an updated intro in tribute to chris cornell and the work he did with soundgarden , but some of the song descriptions may read as unusually morbid after his death . * *\nradio song written by bill berry ( as william berry ) , peter buck , michael stipe and mike mills performed by r . e . m . courtesy of warner bros . records inc . by arrangement with warner special products\nstevie ray vaughan ' s texas blues put the austin music scene on the map in the 1980s .\ntexas flood\nis the title track from the 1983 album from vaughan and his band double trouble . the band recorded the whole record in just two days . the resulting sound is pure vaughan , no overdubs . more \u00bb\nnot so for resilient jane ' s addiction . with amiable chatter and manner that was to foreshadow later , beneficent but mesmerizingly awful hopi - tahitian mysto - babble , farrell preened the feathers of the ruffled crowd in its raucousness ( and i almost got to see a grown woman take her shirt off - - naked as a babe ) .\nbut the music of jane\u2019s addiction reflected a much different reality . like the doors two decades earlier , the band \u2014 vocalist perry farrell , guitarist dave navarro , bassist eric avery and drummer stephen perkins \u2014 drew upon the darker , druggier and more exotic aspects of the city of angels to create songs that were both viscerally immediate and shrouded in poetic mystery . jane\u2019s addiction rocked hard , as well ( harder than many of their sunset strip contemporaries , in fact ) , but they did so while mixing elements of funk , goth and world music into the equation , resulting in a deeply personal sound that struck a resounding chord with alternative music fans of the late eighties and early nineties .\n\u201craising money for cancer is a reminder that every day , people are struggling with the disease and need the support to maintain their dignity and fight , \u201d said kyle stefanski , ceo of rhonda\u2019s kiss . \u201cwe are blessed to have strong support from artists such as jane\u2019s addiction , the public , and hospitals like cedars -

part interactive experience with the prequel saga to be published as three separate 90 - 130 page graphic novels , each written by kelly . the graphic novels will be released over a six month period early in 2007 leading up to the film ' s release with the feature film comprised of the story ' s final three chapters . in addition , the film ' s official website will be one of the largest and most elaborate ever designed for a feature film . richard kelly describes the graphic novels as a\nwork in tandem with the website , creating a more epic multimedia experience for those interested in taking the plunge .\na pioneer of rock ' n ' roll , chuck berry ' s\njohnny b . goode\nis a classic by any standard . the song was a top hit in 1958 when it was released as a single and it also appeared on berry ' s third album ,\nchuck berry is on top ,\nreleased the following year . more \u00bb\nflea and dave navarro perform with perry farrell , stephen perkins and peter distefano at the premiere of howard stern ' s movie private parts at madison square garden . the seeds of a jane ' s addiction reunion were set . when the band was unable to bring eric avery back into the fold , red hot chili peppers ' bassist flea , a longtime friend and fan of the band , stepped up to fill the void .\njane ' s addiction plays their final concert before breaking up at the aloha tower in honolulu , hi . due to the immense heat , perry took off his clothes and performed most of the show in the nude . while perry drew all the attention , little did many realize that stephen perkins was the first to undress , playing the entire concert in the buff !\nwe had perry\u2019s dog venice with us in the studio , and we threw him in the booth and got that dog bark . it\u2019s not really a sample \u2014 we just recorded perry\u2019s actual dog ! i don\u2019t know that we thought of it as being that obscure or outrageous ; he was just barking in the studio while we were playing that song , and we said , \u201coh , that sounds kind of cool ; let\u2019s put him in there ! \u201d and the next thing we know , we\u2019re the \u201cdog -

string acoustic . more \u00bb\njane ' s addiction performs three nights in a row at the hollywood palladium . during the band ' s performance on the 18 , perry complains about the crowd throwing things on stage , including at one point a dr . martin boot . the following night , at a tapped show , someone throws a birkenstock on stage and perry responds ,\noh , there ' s that same asshole again . i thought it would never come to this . but the guy threw a birkenstock ! i mean this guy is a real moron . he doesn ' t even understand fashion !\nthe show on the 19th would be released in its entirety on the\na cabinet of curiosities\nbox set . the live\nain ' t no right\nmusic video was also shot during this show .\nbut the end came unexpectedly , after\nted , just admit it . . .\n: suddenly , after bringing the audience to a climax jane ' s addiction had left the building . people wandered about , waiting for another announcement about some other structural deficiency of the gosman , but none came . milling about , the crowd stared at the flowery tahitian motifs of the stage .\ntogether with the expert riffs of dave navarro and , here , the now seductive , now speedy bass plucking of flea , the meaning of\nsoundscape\nand\nintegrity\n- - in the literal sense of fullness - - becomes clear . with the exception of something like\nbeen caught stealing ,\nwith its eminently marketable dog barks and mtv mock - shock video , jane ' s addiction has always had the ability to make one forget about the asphyxiating , essentially d . o . a . verse - refrain structure of the rock song . the proof is in the aural pudding - - smooth , textured , not strung together .\nfarrell : i had a very incredible , brief time in my life where i had not one but two girlfriends . i was a young man ; i was experiencing things . it was a rite of passage . there i was , in bed , with two beautiful , exotic chicks \u2014 my girlfriend casey [ niccoli ] , who i lived with , and xiola [ blue ] , who came to visit . you can see all of us on the cover of the album . it was so much fun , and it felt so good \u2014 and at the age we were , staying up for three days was nothing !\njane ' s addiction releases their live self - titled debut on triple - x records . while the record is presented as a\nlive\nperformance , and a recording of the band ' s jan 26 , 1987 show was the basis of this album , the band re - recorded most of the album at the edge studios in los angeles . the crowd noise heard on the album is apparently from a recording of a concert by the band los lobos .\nband ( which now consists of original jane ' s members perkins , perry farrell , dave navarro , and red hot chili peppers bassist flea ) with 13 tracks , but more may be added before the album hits shelves in october .\njane ' s addiction releases their major label debut\nnothing ' s shocking\n. despite early fractures in the band and several changes in band management , producer dave jerden understood the band enough to help them craft an amazing album . despite 9 of the 11 major record retailers refusing to carry the album due to its cover leading to it being sold in some stores wrapped in a paper bag , and scathing reviews in industry magazines such as rolling stone ,\nnothing ' s shocking\nwould go on reach gold , and later platinum status .\n\u201cthe day i tried to live\u201d is a quintessential example of almost everything that made soundgarden great and unique . it features one of their weirdest alternate tunings ( eebbbb , compared to the traditional eadgbe ) and alternates between 7 / 4 and 4 / 4 . each move is characteristic of their writing style , but \u201cthe day i tried to live\u201d is maybe the best example of how soundgarden could subtly incorporate odd tricks into rock music , giving their music a slight exoticism without descending into gimmickry . in this instance , they give the song a dissonant , hypnotic pull . it\u2019s still a bit heavy , but doesn\u2019t sacrifice the hooks . it\u2019s some of the band\u2019s best songwriting , strengthened by some great vocal melodies that have ensured that the song has aged particularly well . the poppy qualities might\u2019ve struck some fans with another sort of dissonance , given that many have interpreted \u201cthe day i tried to live\u201d as a suicide note of a song . rather , it turns out it\u2019s one of the few hopeful moments in soundgarden\u2019s catalog . like so much of superunknown , it does deal with themes of depression and alienation , but the idea behind the phrase is a man trying to move past his tendency to withdraw from other people and the world at large , and even though he keeps failing , \u201cone more time around / might do it . \u201d there\u2019s a lot of darkness on superunknown , and in soundgarden\u2019s career in general , and this glimmer of brightness feels not only earned , but crucial . \u201cthe day i tried to live\u201d might not be the band\u2019s most famous song , but it has everything that soundgarden excelled at , with less characteristic flourishes for added depth . it\u2019s still one of the most rewarding songs they\u2019ve ever recorded .\njane ' s addiction releases their second studio album ,\nritual de lo habitual\n. that same day , the owners of\noff the record\nin royal oak , mi are arrested and charged with\ndistributing obscene material\nfor displaying promotional posters of the album . as was the case with their first major label album , many retailers refuse to carry the original album ' s artwork . in response , the band provided an alternate album cover , quoting article 1 of the united states constitution .\nwallace shawn told film critic nathan rabin he did not understand the film after initially reading the screenplay , but signed on as he was impressed by richard kelly and flattered that the part was written specifically for him ; ultimately , he said that he still found the film mostly incomprehensible after three viewings , but\nliked it very much\n."]}

' ' the man finds murali what seems to be a day care baby - sitting job , but when murali opens his pay envelope , the only thing inside is a metrocard .\nactually the whole movie is a slightly more sophisticated application of the same formula . the frenchman , played by gerard depardieu , needs a green card if he is to stay in america . the woman , played by andie macdowell , needs a husband if she is to rent a desirable manhattan apartment . they are introduced by a friend , they go through the fiction of a marriage ceremony , and then when immigration comes sniffing around they have to put on a convincing show of really being married .\nbharathi is not the film ' s central character . what ' s important are her changing feelings about murali ( vikram dasu ) , a recent indian immigrant whose visa has expired and who is struggling to get his green card so he can stay in the united states . before the birthday party incident , bharathi looked down on him ; afterward she feels a cultural bond that evolves into romance . the two meet at a dot -

( c ) sony worldwide\nhistorically , the battle of stalingrad was one of the worst in terms of civilian and military casualties and was also an iconic turning point in the war . stalingrad is at times both historically accurate and fictionalized to make the movie more appealing . the statistics displayed in the film and the statistics of the actual battle were very similar . the movie stated that over a million people died in the conflict , starved to death , or froze and the actual statistics say that 1 . 7 - 2 million casualties were actually suffered by the axis and the soviets . reasons behind the immense amounts of deaths was because of the close combat situations that w . . .\nan american military advisor embraces the samurai culture he was hired to destroy after he is captured in battle .\nnarrator : the bombing continued for days . the civilian death toll exceeded 200 , 000 . more civilians died in the battle of stalingrad , than in the nuclear attacks on hiroshima and nagasaki combined . the city was reduced to rubble .\nin july of 1942 , soviet resistance was crumbling , and hitler\u2019s troops were driving towards stalingrad .\nthe german film\nstalingrad\nand sam peckinpah ' s\ncross of iron\nuse many sh trademarks though ( and they are both far superior to\nwheels of terror\n) .\ndavid glantz : the soviets suffered appalling casualties at the battle of kotluban , both in terms of personnel and in terms of tanks , however , the net effect of this was that paulus\u2019 6th army now faced the dismal prospect of reducing stalingrad city primarily with infantry since 14th panzer corps\u2019 tanks were tied up elsewhere .\nthe english subtitles on the print screened at the rome film festival ( out of competition ) often verged on the incomprehensible .\nthe battle of stalingrad had a different character since most noncombatants were evacuated across the volga before the worst fighting began . therefore , any book on the subject would tend to be focused on the battle itself rather than the texture of everyday life under siege . this is certainly the case with antony beevor ' s\nstalingrad , the fateful siege : 1942 -

documents ,\nsaid the movie could also serve an educational function . the photo leading into exhibition is emmanuil yevzerikhin ' s iconic shot of 1942 stalingrad , showing a statue of children playing around a crocodile juxtaposed with burning buildings in the background . sviblova has hopes that the attention given to the film will communicate the battle to a new generation \u2014 and to those abroad who do not know about russia\u2019s large part in the war \u2014 in a language they understand . mamm , which hosted an exhibition of both russian and german photographs from the battle earlier this year , has teamed up with the moscow house of photography and\nstalingrad\nto show pictures of the actual battle from their archives at museums and theaters in the regions .\npeople will see the difference between the reality and the cinematic reality ,\nsviblova said .\nrussian directors , this time , steal the spot light with their own version of the war . but while scenes in the movies are directed , rehearsed and artificially simulated , the real war was a real carnage . a woman soldier fancied the war to be a scene of fire , crying children , scampering cats but when she got to stalingrad , the sight was worse . russians consider stalingrad one of the most famous battle in their history . the 3d film inspired by the battle is one of biggest box office hits in the country of all time . with the film , audiences can get to see the war as experienced by the russians . the three dimensional effects do well in making the war scenes including fire fights , close encounters , bombings more real life .\nthe story of the first major battle of the american phase of the vietnam war , and the soldiers on both sides that fought it , while their wives wait nervously and anxiously at home for the good news or the bad news .\ninspiration and sources for the final segment of the film came largely from steven pinker ' s the better angels of our nature . buy at amazon\nthe battle of stalingrad , which cost the lives of at least a million german soldiers , red army troops and soviet civilians , was the bloodiest of the decisive battles in the\nwar of extermination\nwhich hitler had unleashed . the annihilation of the german sixth army brought home to many germans with a terrible shock the fact that , despite the propaganda which filled their ears , the war would inevitably be lost in the end . for both germany and russia , stalingrad signified the psychological turning point in world war ii . this three - part documentary , employing previously unreleased film footage and brutally frank statements from survivors on both sides , explains exactly how the catastrophe came about and describes the gruesome consequences of the battle for the soldiers and the inhabitants of the city .\nthe film ' s epilogue gives some stark statistics for the battle for stalingrad . more than a million people were killed in action , starved or froze to death . out of the sixth army ' s 260 , 000 men , 91 , 000 were taken prisoner . out of those , only 6 , 000 returned home years later .\nnarrator : by late afternoon , the 6th army gazed down upon the volga from stalingrad\u2019s northern suburbs .\nthis is the first russian production to be presented in imax 3 -

' it was an important battle , the turning point of world war ii . the germans thought they would cut through russia like a knife through butter and move on into india . unfortunately for them , after a three -

manager . in 1878 he ran the theatre , and employed ellen terry as his leading lady . his shakespearean productions meant that the lyceum was constantly sold out , and several times he would tour not just this country , but america . his knighthood in1895 was the first ever given to an actor .\nin 1996 , magnificently restored to its former glory , the lyceum theatre opened its doors once again to \u201cjesus christ superstar\u201d . the royal national theatre ' s oklahoma with hugh jackman and disney\u2019s \u201cthe lion king\u201d followed , and is still packing the theatre to the present day .\nthe present theatre stands on the site of its predecessors . in 1772 a building opened as an exhibition rooms and concert hall . in 1794 it was converted into the lyceum theatre , only to have several other names during the early part of the 19 th century . it was the theatre royal lyceum , ( 1809 ) , the theatre royal , english opera ( 1815 ) and after major rebuilding , the theatre royal and opera house . ( 1816 ) . the architect was samuel beazley .\nin 1957 , he was appointed a commander of the most excellent order of the british empire , c . b . e . , by her majesty the queen .\nan edited extract from\nthe scout ' s pathfinder annual\noriginally publish in 1969 by the scout association .\nfrom 1817 the lyceum was the first theatre to be lit by gas . this novel innovation led to lectures and demonstrations being held in the theatre illustrating the ( relatively ) clean . and attractive mode of lighting . unfortunately the building was burnt down in 1830 , and rebuilt , it was called the royal lyceum and opera house ( 1834 )\nonce the home of some of london\u2019s finest pantomimes , the lyceum theatre has been many things in its long history .\nnowadays the outside of the lyceum theatre is thronging with coaches dropping off hundreds of excited children ( and excited parents ) who go there to see disney\u2019s \u201cthe lion king\u201d . at the end of the performance the streets are again thronging with bicycle rickshaws , hoping to carry said children and parents home . it is vibrant and alive . this has not always been the case . up until fairly recently it was closed and boarded up , its stage invisible , and its stalls removed awaiting the bulldozers to knock it to the ground .\nfortunately disaster was averted on the closing night of \u201ccinderella\u201d , and they \u201cbecame friends again\u201d . the lyceum remained open .\nthe pantomime had a famous guest in the audience : it was the young princess elizabeth\u2019s first pantomime . she visited it on january 26 th 1934 , and joined in singing \u201cwe all went up the mountain\u201d , and at one point leant over the box to ask george jackley for an encore .\none of the scenic specialities was known as the collapsing house of cards . they were to use this set many times over the years - especially in their productions of \u201cqueen of hearts\u201d . the audiences would wait for the palace of cards to come tumbling down amid great cheers and gasps ! this scenery was used in the 1927 , 1933 & 1938 productions .\ngroup of young territorials was standing at the back . they had been listening and watching the rehearsal . so again we let it rip , with the terriers joining in . they were the first\noutsiders\nwho ever sang\nwe ' re riding along on the crest of a wave .\n\u201cfirst the story , then the ballet , and finally the comedians after , it must be said , a very long interval in which teas , orangeade and ice - creams were sold - all melville\u2019s own brand - to the overheated audience\u201d .\nin 1945 the theatre re - opened as a dance hall , much needed in wartime for morale both of the troops on leave , and for londoners living nightly with the blitz .\nthe giant was named \u201cgobbywobbly\u201d , and the dame was \u201cdame dimple\u201d . jack returned from market to find his mother waiting :\nthis pantomime , for the first time in a long while did not have either george jackley or naughton and gold in the company . this was noted by \u201cthe observer\u201d newspaper which wrote :\nithin the next month i started on the next production . each year the\nhouse full\nboards have gone up , and sometimes the demand for seats has been so terrific that as much as a hundred thousand pounds has had to be returned .\n\u201c the long first half of the entertainment exhausts itself , after the lyceum manner , in an ecstacy of scenic display , but at the beginning of the second half , when we have resigned ourselves to the funny men , we are startled ( and enchanted ) by the fall of the house of cards , into a dark and turbulent ocean . here then , safely caught , is one essential of pantomime - splendour , and for another , which is humour , we have not far to look .\non february 28 th 1937 walter melville died at the age of 62 . the long partnership with his brother frederick was over .\nfrederick melville made an error of judgement when he instructed bert hammond , his manager to equip the theatre as a cinema . a rebuilding of parts of the interior was underway to install the projectors , and the auditorium floor had to be lowered , involving reseating and recarpeting . the cost ran to around \u00a312 , 000 .\n1937 - 38 beauty and the beast the panto starred clarkson rose and johnny kavanagh as beauty\u2019s \u201csisters\u201d , with albert burdon as \u201cpickles\u201d the page . the o\u2019gorman brothers appeared alongside anne leslie as beauty and jill esmond as prince , with betty bucknell as principal dancer .\n\u201c it is open to doubt if the london stage has ever seen such a christmas play of the kind conceived and executed in such faultless taste . it is hardly fair to call this dainty and charming \u201ccinderella\u201d a pantomime , for the modern pantomime is associated in the public mind with rough and tumble fun , wild dances and music hall songs . nothing of the kind is found at the lyceum\nthis is mr george jackley , to shake the roof with the blast of his witticisms , to whistle his way cleverly and amusingly through a game of cards and ( the crowning glory of his performance and perhaps the true climax of the pantomime ) to make us all sing an extremely silly but extremely cheerful song about going up - up - up and down - down - down the mountain\u201d .\nin 1924 the pantomime was \u201c the forty thieves \u201d , written by leedham bantock with music by guy jones . george jackley again appeared , along with the hengler brothers . it ran for 122 performances .\nin 1844 on easter monday the lyceum presented a burlesque - \u201c open seasame , or a night with the forty thieves\u201d . around the same time the management - mr . and mrs . keeley presented a novel attraction to london : the famous midget general tom thumb in \u201c hop o\u2019my thumb , or the ogre and his seven league boots \u201d . so popular was \u201cthe general\u201d that he was requested by queen victoria to appear before her majesty at windsor to repeat his performance .\n1928 - 29 beauty and the beast - this time written and produced by the melville brothers . the cast included dick tubb , dorothy seacombe and jean colin . .

dated their seasons at drury lane which did not start until 1869 . see further article on this pantomime , including an extract from the script .\nthe death of frederick melville left the lyceum pantomime in the hands of manager bert hammond , with frederick\u2019s younger brother andrew melville as acting manager . this enabled bert to make a few much needed improvements and modernisations .\nhe lads soon picked up the song , but without any special enthusiasm . they sang it again and again , and although i waited patiently for someone to express an opinion none was forthcoming . so we turned to the other songs and soon were busy on the floor with the production .\n\u201cmy opinion is that the part of a principal boy should always be played by a girl . what can be more charming than a dainty and pretty girl playing the part of a boy ? the introduction of male persons to play principal boys is not incentive to the best traditions of pantomime\u201d\nin 1939 the lyceum was finally closed , and was due to be demolished in preparation for a major road widening scheme . the construction of large \u201croundabouts\u201d and transport changes threatened the building and surrounding area . that scheme ( fortunately ) never happened . the outbreak of war prevented any plans .\nwe\u2019re 50 % sold out and the clock is ticking , not long left to grab those early bird tickets . \ud83c\udfab\u23f1 the scores are com\u2026 urltoken\napplications to join the cast in 2018 are closed . the process for 2019 applications will open in july 2018 and close on 31 october 2018 .\nto enhance planche\u2019s scripts , the designer william beverley created some spectacular scenic effects in the 1840\u2019s . for planche\u2019s \u201cisland of jewels\u201d in 1849 he created what would be the very first \u201ctransformation scene\u201d , which caused a sensation .\nduring this period , between 1914 and 1919 one of the pantomime dancers was ninette de valois - later dame ninette , she founded the royal ballet .\n1933 - 34 saw the queen of hearts return to the lyceum . the cast included george jackley , ( knave of hearts ) dick tubb , ( as queen of hearts ) , naughton and gold , dick henderson , molly vyvyan , the o ' gorman brothers , nancy fraser and eve benson .\n\u2026 . . none of the new songs seemed to have quite the authentic popular ring , but how grandly miss florrie forde \u201cput across\u201d that one about the moo -

he never performed in a pantomime there , but in 1811 he appeared in a short scene from \u201c mother goose \u201d singing his song \u201ctippety wichet\u201d at a benefit .\n1931 - 32 cinderella kitty reidy played prince charming , and constance carpenter the title role . the comics as before were george jackley and naughton and gold .\nmadam vestris appeared her as an early principal boy in a production written by planche . the author j . r . planche was responsible for presenting some beautiful lyceum pantomimes in the 1840\u2019s onwards . he was praised in the press because :\nplease ignore the crime stoppers references on the application site \u2013 our pd works for them and we are using their secure systems for our applications . thank you .\nthe melvilles took pantomime back to its story - telling roots , but invested their productions with excellent scenery and a great deal of \u201cslap - stick\u201d . the comedians they employed - especially naughton & gold , specialised in plate - smashing , messy cake - making in the palace kitchens , and very messy \u201cpapering the parlour\u201d scenes .\nin 1902 the theatre closed , and , apart from the portico and rear walls , was rebuilt as a music hall in 1904 . this almost total demolition was due to new and improved fire and safety regulations . the architect was bertie crewe .\n\u201c\u2026the first part of this pantomime happens largely under the aegis of miss florrie forde . . this great favourite , of an older day , still holds us in the hollow of her hand , and it is good to hear the old songs reminiscently sung , even when the singer , discarding boyish livery , presents them from a matronly ambuscade of puce and gold draperies surmounted by a confection of obsequious and heliotrope plumes\u2026\nfree from the confines of her traditional upbringing , summer finds herself swept away on the adventure of a lifetime in a steampunk realm of mechanical wonder and endless possibility .\nif over 18 or turning 18 during the season \u2013 obtain a positive notice for working with children ( blue card ) , which must remain current throughout the season .\n\u201cnot to be outdone , the following year was princess margaret\u2019s first pantomime -

nominated screenwriter scott frank ' s (\nout of sight\n) , directorial debut . the intelligent crime drama is centered around chris , a once promising high school athlete whose life is turned upside down following a tragic accident . as he tries to maintain a normal life , he takes a job as a janitor at a bank where he ultimately finds himself caught up in a planned heist .\nthe heist scene itself , two - thirds of the way through the film , is the first time frank actually induces any of the scenes with a modicum of tension , and the film stops spinning its wheels in the mud and starts to move forward . a resulting gunfight explodes with the kind of frenetic action that steven spielberg brought to frank\u2019s screenplay in minority report , and it\u2019s good to see that frank at least knows how to engineer a suspenseful sequence , even if he never avails himself of the talent more than once in 100 minutes . the british - born goode is completely believable as a midwestern thug , and even imbues gary with a ( very ) small amount of charm . fisher doesn\u2019t have much more to do than walk around half - dressed and disappear when frank runs out of things for her to say , but she\u2019s still got this bubbly verve that makes the character appealing . gordon - levitt , who was so wonderful in brick , also does a good job rocketing between chris\u2019 alternate moods of sour aloofness and a longing to be accepted : the look on his face when he thinks about luvlee is almost uncomfortably honest .\nsuffering from memory problems due to a head injury caused by a car crash in which he killed his friends , chris ( joseph gordon -

of - age story of a migrant . yet , the overly simple approach it takes to give the experience of living in a chawl , is only skin deep . heavier on visuals than emotions , it delivers no message nor answers any questions . too thin to be a slice of life , this one .\nthe story of the movie is not that new . we have a few classics of 70s that have highlighted the plight of young coming in to mumbai and living in cramped spaces . the amol palekar era movies have talked about this , the awkwardness of small - town immigrant before too . fuddu brings the same kind of entertainment in a new avatar to suit the audiences of the new millennium .\nfuddu movie is a romance - comedy set in mumbai . the film is scheduled to release on 14th october 2016 . the movie follows life and story of mohan who has come to mumbai with dreams of grandeur and luxury . however , he soon realizes that the stories he has heard back home from people living in mumbai are a farce and every day living conditions are much tougher than his home .\nshubham is a simpleton from banaras who travels to mumbai in search of employment and to fulfill his life long desire to live in the city of stars . but reality dawns as he tries to adjust to the cramped living quarters of a chawl where both space and privacy is a luxury that common man cannot afford . most of the first part of the movie goes into painting the picture of bumbling shubham who is equally at loss when it comes to love and ways of life . hence the name fuddu , which roughly means confused and dumb in the ways of this world .\nfuddu , is a emotional turmoil face by a boy who has just arrived from banaras to mumbai city . he is disturbed to see how so many people live in cramped houses . after his marriage he finds it difficult to accept the reality as to how an entire family shares only one room . his entire world turns upside down when his wife , whom he had loved the most , leaves him for reasons which are untrue . his family too discards him and disrespects him . will he succeed in getting his love back in his life ? will he succeed in getting back the respect from his family who had once loved him unconditionally ?\nthe cause of the girl child is dear to me . sri is the best platform to condemn female foeticide : manasa joshi\n' , the upcoming romantic comedy film that stars shubham and swati kapoor in the lead role has various special appearances by biggies from the industry . so while\nfor another number . according to reports in a daily , gauahar ' s performance in ' ishaqzaade ' s ' song , ' chhokra jawaan re ' won her accolades and according to sources , the makers feel she will bring in some good luck to the film .\nrefrain from posting comments that are obscene , defamatory or inflammatory , and do not indulge in personal attacks , name calling or inciting hatred against any community . help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines by marking them offensive . let ' s work together to keep the conversation civil .\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\netimes is an entertainment , tv & lifestyle industry ' s promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 hungama digital media entertainment pvt . ltd . all rights reserved .\nreza noorani , tnn , updated : oct 17 , 2016 , 07 . 00 pm ist\nmohan comes to mumbai from banaras with big dreams , but is appalled at the conditions in the chawl he has to share with his brothers . he tries to adjust and gets married , but cannot consummate his marriage . his troubles multiply when his wife leaves him . crestfallen , mohan is left with two choices . which one will he make ?\nfresh off the train from banaras , mohan ( shubham ) thinks life in mumbai will be about glamour and comfort . however , the south mumbai chawl he shares with his brothers is not like that . life , for him , turns out to be five adults sharing a room , queueing up at the public bathroom every morning , traffic sounds for ambient music and zero privacy . yet , he tries to adjust .\nin a secure job , he marries shalini ( swati kapoor ) , but can\u2019t consummate the marriage , with his two brothers and sisters - in - law sleeping in the same room . his wife thinks he is impotent and leaves him . a broken man , mohan has two options \u2014 take things lying down , or prove to the world what he is made of .\nshubham is believable as a small - town boy jaded and bogged down with his condition . while swati kapoor is convincing in her debut , the supporting cast is over the top . sunny leone and sharman joshi appear in a song at the end , which has ranbir kapoor reciting a romantic couplet . gauahar khan , too , appears an item number .\nthere ' s hardly any buzz around the film , so i went without any expectations . and guess what ? i wasn\u2019t disappointed when i walked out of the theatre .\nin fact , it was fun watching this rom - com even though it starred newcomers .\nthe film\u2019s story revolves around mohan ( shubham ) , who shifts base from banaras to mumbai and has a hard time adjusting to the city\u2019s lifestyle .\nhe arrives with certain expectations but is disheartened the moment he reaches his elder brother\u2019s home .\nthe match - box sized home is cramped and mohan has a tough time getting used to it . he also has to deal with culture shock .\nbut all these elements take a backseat as mohan quickly manages to get a job and then gets married to shalini ( swati kapoor ) .\nsince mohan is shy , he has a hard time getting intimate with his wife . as if that\u2019s not enough , they live with six family members in the cramped mumbai house .\nwhile shalini tries her best to get close to her husband , the latter not only fails to recognise her hints , he doesn\u2019t even express his love .\nthis creates misunderstandings between the two and finally shalini loses her cool and leaves .\nmohan ' s life gets turned upside down . how he rights his life again is the rest of the story .\nthough the other actors lend good support to the story , shubham plays his part beautifully . at no point does he seem out of character . you empathize with him when he cries and you have a smile on your face when he appears confused and innocently tries to figure things out on his own . he has a good screen presence .\nswati kapoor is good in whatever little screen time she has in the movie .\nhow middle class people in mumbai adjust and live in their small houses is quite a relevant topic .\nthe end is silly but overall , the film was fine . it would have been better if the makers hadn\u2019t added songs , including the special number with sunny leone and sharman joshi at the end .\nwhat is a r rahman doing at a dubai mall ? reader talib sends us a picture .\nrealistically portrayed , the film looks into the life of mohan mishra who comes to mumbai from benaras for greener pastures and soon realises that the shimmer of this glitzy city is all fake . reality hits him when , in the city , he has to live with his two older brothers and their families , in a chawl and is advised , \u201cadjust karna seekh le tu\u201d , which means \u2018learn to adjust\u2019 .\nadjust to his new life , he does . but , the problem arises after he gets married . being shy , conservative , considerate and dense on the uptake , with eight members of the family crammed in a ten - by - ten room , he is unable to consummate his marriage and is taunted about it .\nhow he overcomes this difficult situation , forms the crux of this rom - com . though there are not many twists and turns in the plot , what keeps you glued are the unfaltering performances by the fairly new cast and a well - contained script with well - etched characters .\nthe dialogues are colloquial , witty and laced with the right amount of humour that is relatable .\nthe film is shubham\u2019s canvas and he is convincing as manoj . he brings the right amount of energy and realism to his character , playing his role with convivial ease and flourish . he has a pleasant screen presence and has the audience one with him in empathy .\nswati kapoor as mohan\u2019s wife shalini is equally convincing . she matches shubham in histrionics , but unfortunately , she does not have much screen time . vicky ahuja as his older brother shyam , and the others , in supporting roles perfectly complement mohan on screen .\nthe songs with the lyrics , \u201cno she ain\u2019t coming for you mere bhai\u201d and \u201cpinjre se tota udaa\u201d pepper the narrative with the right amount of enthusiasm and cheerfulness .\nthe beginning credits thank a list of stars that include ; katrina kaif , ranbir kapoor , sunny leone , sharman joshi , gauahar khan and a few more . and , throughout the film , you wonder when they would pop onto the screen .\nyou won\u2019t be disappointed , if you patiently wait till the very end , when the end credits roll . not all , but a few would definitely make their guest appearance .\nmounted with decent production values , the film is a pleasant surprise and worth a watch for every mumbaikar .\nclick on the menu icon of the browser , it opens up a list of options .\nhere click on the \u201cprivacy & security\u201d options listed on the left hand side of the page .\na pop up will open with all listed sites , select the option \u201callow\u201c , for the respective site under the status head to allow the notification .\nonce the changes is done , click on the \u201csave changes\u201d option to save the changes .\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . this includes cookies from third party social media websites and ad networks . such third party cookies may track your use on filmibeat sites for better rendering . our partners use cookies to ensure we show you advertising that is relevant to you . if you continue without changing your settings , we ' ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on filmibeat website . however , you can change your cookie settings at any time . learn more\nunable to consumate his marriage , mohan becomes a social pariah in mumbai ' s cramped living conditions , where privacy is a luxury not everyone can afford .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 \u00b7 rightmix technologies llp \u00b7 built on the genesis framework . privacy policy\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\n3 peg -

reason , they didn ' t mention this version , although they didn ' t mention any movie version , which they usually do . i guess whomever is keeping the macbeth page up to date distains the movies .\ntwo shakespeare anthology films featured scenes from macbeth . famous scenes from shakespeare ( 1945 ) , directed by henry cass , showcased duncan ' s murder and the sleepwalking scene , and starred wilfrid lawson ( macbeth ) , cathleen nesbitt ( lady macbeth ) , felix aylmer ( doctor ) and catherine lacey ( gentlewoman ) . the world ' s a stage ( 1953 , d . charles deane ) drew on the young vic theatre players to perform similar excerpts .\n\u201cwe are thrilled to present a selection of work from a tour of classic british feature films to a programme of newly commissioned shorts by female creative teams that all demonstrate shakespeare\u2019s enduring relevance as source material . the shakespeare on film tour will be the most ambitious touring film programme that the british council has ever offered and our aim is to ensure that shakespeare lives in each of the 110 countries in our network . \u201d\never wonder what macbeth would be like if it was a screwball comedy set in the 1970 ' s . . . . . . watch this and you ' ll know\njacqueline bisset a once and still magnificently beautiful and talented actress is regrettably the most notorious name in the cast . it is so unfortunate that she allowed herself to become a part of its ensemble since the film has little , if any , value at all . as can be expected , the film attempted to ride on the coattails of the enormously successful , titanic , but fell far short of its expectations . most importantly , it is not historically correct . the same argument could be made regarding titanic , as the characters were fictional . however , in the case of the brittanic , not only are the characters fictious , so is the plot . in addition , the rating is decidedly incorrect , as the film is full of violence and should have received an r rating for its violence alone . i surely regret having to pan a film starring ms . bisset . however this film does not deserve to have been distributed and certainly not under the guise under which it was . hopefully , having received as little publicity as it did , it will not reach a much larger audience than it has to date .\nian will attend the shanghai international film festival\u2019s opening night on 11 june and take part in a special on stage event at the festival on 12 june . plans for ian to travel to other countries as part of the tour will be announced soon .\nthe latter titanic was not the epic film about the perilous disaster that the ship beheld when it crashed into an iceberg . no , titanic was a mediocre love story written around the ship ' s disaster . and , this film made the pathetic mistake a few years ago , to try and rip off the success of that first movie with making a tv\nspecial\nabout the tragic journey of titanic ' s sister ship ( this tv special also included about a zillion commercials ) . the characters are even less interesting than they were in titanic , and the special effects and camerawork and not nearly as good . and this is not a good thing , especially since the producers obviously made sure that everyone knew this film was coming , so that they would watch it . and when it finally arrives , it is a complete and total flop . this did not keep me from buying again for my video collection when i saw it at hollywood for under five dollars . all together , the storyline is slightly more interesting , as there are several gunfights and thrilling moments in which people are chased around . the film is not the thriller that it says it is . it is just another average film based on your true story ( with the facts altered of course ) and tries to rip off of the success of its predecessor . britannic gets 2 / 5 .\nthe bfi national archive holds the world\u2019s greatest collection of moving image material relating to shakespeare , the world\u2019s greatest playwright . now , thanks to national lottery funding through the unlocking film heritage project , many rare and exciting shakespearean film and television titles \u2013 some unseen for decades \u2013 have been digitised and are being made available to audiences nationwide for viewing online , often for the very first time , on bfi player . these include : animations including oh\u2019phelia a cartoon burlesque ( 1919 ) , vintage travelogues , musical novelties , newsreels , adverts and rarely seen fiction shorts and features inspired by the bard\u2019s works , ranging from period drama the immortal gentleman ( 1935 ) to contemporary comedy romeo of the spirits ( 1976 ) .\nthere have been numerous documentaries about the play , with most high - profile stage and television productions at least being mentioned in an arts magazine programme ( for instance , bbc2 ' s review ran an item on a zulu version of the play in 1972 ) . more intriguingly , tony robinson presented the real macbeth ( channel 4 , 2001 ) , an attempt to dig out the truth behind shakespeare ' s multiple layers of legend . there have also been several broadcasts of giuseppe verdi ' s first shakespeare - sourced opera macbeth , two of them involving british productions .\ndocumentaries review , bbc2 , tx . 7 / 4 / 72 , excerpts from zulu

audiences around the world for centuries . as the bfi undertakes the most extensive film programme ever to celebrate his work , i\u2019m delighted that even more people will have the opportunity to enjoy the legacy of shakespeare . from new adaptations , to events and a tour through 110 nations , this bold new project will help us remember one the greatest writers of all time . \u201d\nthis was pretty strange . a modern day take on macbeth . the idea for it is actually pretty smart . i love the fact that the characters in this all have the same names as the play . couldn ' t get enough christopher walken . check this out some time if you ' re bored .\nthe initial idea is a goofy one - take the\nmac\nof macbeth and apply that to the hideous moral vacuum of the perfidious golden arches . hey . . . suddenly this sounds like a good fit after all . this version is set in the real life scotland , pennsylvania of the title in the 1970s , \u2026\na modern , comedy macbeth set in a american diner , called ' duncan ' s ' sharp and funny in places , this starts off in a promising way but loses a bit of steam along the way . you don ' t necessarily have to know your shakespeare to find something to enjoy here , but it definitely helps .\nnew year ' s day 2001 saw channel 4 broadcasting the second rsc - sourced television macbeth , this time drawn from gregory doran ' s acclaimed late - 1990s production with antony sher and harriet walter as the macbeths , supported by joseph o ' conor ( duncan ) , nigel cooke ( macduff ) and ken bones ( banquo ) .\nthis film isn ' t a top movie exactly but its history is interesting . the titanic is world famous for its destiny but her sister the britannic who followed the same fate is almost forgotten . i think it was very interesting to learn about the britannic and it ' s destiny . it ' s important not to forget such incident . i really recommend you to see this movie even if it isn ' t the best made .\nthe shakespeare - told version , scripted by peter moffat , has a very promising first half and a genuinely original premise : the play is set in the high - pressure world of celebrity restaurants , with macbeth ( james mcavoy ) the fiercely ambitious prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of tv chef and restaurateur duncan docherty ( vincent regan ) , while the ' witches ' become three philosophical dustmen . despite some effective blood - drenched dream sequences , moffat ' s script ultimately fails to live up to its promise : the second prophecy , revolving around the phrase\npigs will fly\n, turns out to herald a feeble pun rather an expansion of an early scene in which macbeth demonstrates the most efficient way of carving a pig ' s head .\nabout : very bad things meets shakespeare ' s macbeth review : it ' s a very black - humored retelling of macbeth in rural pennsylvania in the 1970s . the very 1970s . it runs from kooky to evildark and back again throughout . you know the story , but adapt it to a drive - through diner and a bunch of pa rednecks . if you like insane but creepy , spiraling - out - of - control , hokey movies , this is a great choice . to make it even better , it ' s got christopher walken in it at his frankly - frank best . it ' s got crazy carnies , gay sex , burgers , and fried hedz ! and it ' s a love story .\nit ' s such a clever premise , i wish the execution had been a little better . namely the witches , which are borderline insufferable . anyway , most of it is pretty good , and i really like how the filmmakers were able to see a classic noir story in macbeth . also , the movie gets about ten times better when christopher walken shows up .\ni ' ve been looking forward to seeing this very bold adaptation of\nmacbeth\nfor about a year , ever since i first became aware of its existence . but first i saw roman polanski ' s 1971 version , and tonight i watched rupert goold ' s 2010 updated interpretation . of the three , i knew this would be the most challenging for good reason .\nian\u2019s illustrious career spans six decades and he has been performing shakespeare on stage and screen for the majority of it : from breakthrough performances as henry v and edward ii at the edinburgh festival ( 1969 ) to the title role in trevor nunn\u2019s acclaimed production of macbeth with judi dench in 1976 and the opening ceremony of the london paraylmpics ( 2012 ) when he portrayed prospero from the tempest .\ncontrary to my expectations this was probably the most original and effortlessly enjoyable shakespeare adaptation i ' ve ever seen . having a strong grasp of the plot and characters of\nmacbeth\nwill definitely help your overall enjoyment as you ' re more likely to appreciate some of the ingenious things that writer / director billy morrissette does with the original play , but no knowledge at all would still make this a comically surreal experience .\nthe programme launches on 31 march with the premiere of play on ! shakespeare in silent cinema with the score performed live by the shakespeare\u2019s globe musicians . april will focus on the classics , including laurence olivier\u2019s hamlet ( 1948 ) , kenneth branagh\u2019s henry v ( 1989 ) , roman polanski\u2019s macbeth ( 1971 ) and franco zeffirelli\u2019s romeo and juliet ( 1968 ) brought to life with a new 4k restoration and presented in a special event and extended run at bfi southbank and a uk - wide release by park circus .\nat the end of this fox family channel original movie , you find out that titanic ' s sister ship , the britannic , actually sank in 51 minutes - - twice as fast as titanic . unfortunately , the movie sails for two hours and the plot begins taking on water long before the ship does . it becomes tiresome and plodding at times and , although a few scenes are compelling , the film fails to generate the excitement that one would expect from a\nbased on fact\nsea tale . the good news is that only 30 people lost their lives when the real britannic went down . far more died of boredom while watching this slow - moving flick .\nthe first feature - length british adaptation came in 1954 with joe macbeth , which is discussed later . the first ' straight ' feature - length british version was made in 1960 by george schaefer , and was originally intended for american television ' s hallmark television playhouse , though it also got a limited theatrical release . maurice evans and judith anderson played the macbeths , with michael hordern as banquo and ian bannen as macduff . the colour cinematography ( by the great freddie young , who would shoot david lean ' s lawrence of arabia two years later ) tended to prettify the material , partly shot on location in scotland , though it was well received at the time and won numerous emmy awards for both the production and the lead actors .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ncheck out highlights

filmed on location in scotland and occasionally shows flashes of genuine inspiration ( in the dagger scene , a church cross casts a misleading shadow ) , but for the most part it fails to rise above the merely competent , and the obviously tiny budget ( like the 1960 production , it was primarily intended for television ) is a major drawback .\ntelevision adaptations of the play run into double figures , and date almost from the dawn of the medium . on 25 march and 3 december 1937 , the bbc broadcast selected scenes from the play ( the second broadcast was sourced from an old vic production ) , while the first complete broadcast came on 20 february 1949 in a version staged by tv shakespeare veteran george more o ' ferrall that starred stephen murray and bernadette o ' farrell as the macbeths , esmond knight as banquo and patrick macnee as malcolm . all were unrecorded live performances , and have consequently not survived .\nthe next three television productions ( in 1960 , 1965 and 1966 ) were all made for schools and broadcast during the day , usually in serial form . the first colour television broadcast of the full play came on 20 september 1970 , in the bbc ' s high - profile play of the month slot . a conservative but often effective production , it starred eric porter and janet suzman as the macbeths , with john thaw as banquo and john woodvine as macduff , and briskly directed by john gorrie . two months later , itv broadcast its own colour version , a five - part serial aimed at schools that starred michael jayston and barbara leigh - hunt .\nanimation shakespeare : the animated tales , bbc2 , tx . 23 / 11 / 1992 , d . nikolai serebriakov\nlol . some of the previous\nreviewers\nseem to have forgotten that this tv movie wasn ' t intended to be a history class ! if you ' re looking for a documentary on the britannic this isn ' t it . if you ' re looking for a well acted , entertaining hour and half than you might like this movie . i do agree with the person who mentioned the cheesy special effects and some of the cringe - inducing dialoge .\nwhile this is one of the better sort of ' made for tv movies ' , it did contain one mistake that made me cringe . during a conversation between the german spy and an irish accomplice , the accomplice states that many of the irish seamen aboard will be glad to take part in the seizure of the ship because ' they ' ve had family killed by the black and tans ' . this is supposed to be 1916 . the black and tans weren ' t founded until 1920 . its just a pity that that small element wasn ' t properly checked out first .\ntoo far from the facts , too close to cameron ' s titanic . . .\nthe\nspecial effects\nare nothing to write home about , and there is some corny dialogue , but it is entertaining to watch . the acting is terrific by all the actors , but the two kids got on my nerves . if you ' re a fan of ryan , than you ' ll love it ; she is wonderful in the role of vera campbell , and she is in practically every scene .\ni believe this movie was made for tv , and i think that i have seen better special effects in an older video game . but i don ' t think that those things make this a bad movie , the plot is interesting and the movie never gets boring . if you are looking for a historically accurate story of the britannic , then you might not like this movie . it is true that the britannic was the sister ship of the famous titanic , that it was suppose to be even safer and grander , and then the ship was commissioned by the british government as a hospital ship during world war one . but the story about spies on board , and that they were the ones that made the ship sink is not true . the ship was really sunk by a mine , or torpedo and i really doubt that there were any spies . the movie is not rated ; i don ' t remember any swear words , or crude language . there is some violence , but it is not bad . but i was disappointed that the movie does have a nude / sex scene , in which amanda ryan shows off her stuff . this scene really disappointed me because the movie had been so clean and family friendly until that point . but i really do think that this movie was interesting , and if cheesy special effects , and nudity ( you can always hit the skip button ) do not bug you i would suggest watching this movie .\nthis movie was defanately far from the truth . there were not german agents onboard who tried to blow up the ship and sink it and the ship didn ' t get hijacked and crew members were not shot by german spys . the britannic was torpedoed off of greece . so , this movie was extremely fictional so if you are looking for something historical acurate , this will not make your list . but , the story , i personally thought , was very neat and the effects and settings were very well done and looked very true to life . it ' s worth the time watching but this is fiction !\nhere ' s some facts . improved safety features included raising 5 bulkheads from e to b deck ( it could stay afloat with 6 compartments flooded , dia instead of the titanic ' s 4 ) , making it 904 ft . long , 94 ft . wide , compared to 883 ft . and 93 ft . of titanic , and weighed ( est . ) 48 , 000 tons , the titanic 46 , 000 tons , so britannic was the longest , widest , heaviest , and largest of the 3\nolympic\nclass ships ( olympic , titanic , and britannic ) . because of ww1 , it never hauled a revenue passenger , it was used as a hospital ship . it ' s sinking was similar to the impress of ireland in one crucial fact : many port holes were left open . had the port holes been closed , it probably wouldn ' t have sank . some say a torpedo sank it ( there was a u - boat in the area ) , but it was more likely a mine ( the u - boat had laying mines in that path ) . here ' s a mistake in the movie : the explosion was from a bottle of ether in a coal bunker .\nit would seem from the reviews to date that\nbritannic\nis either a movie you love or hate . i thought it was superb . in fact , it ' s hard to believe that such an elaborate production was designed for television . admittedly , i watched it on dvd and it ' s quite possible that if i had been forced to watch its action undercut by television commercials , i would not be nearly so enthusiastic . i hate commercials and for that reason , have not watched any movies on tv for at least twenty years . for me , all aspects of this movie were one hundred per cent entertaining . perhaps i should say\ngripping\nrather than entertaining . the acting from all concerned , but especially the stars , jacqueline bisset , edward atterton , john rhys - davies , amanda ryan and bruce payne , i would rate as absolutely perfect . the same goes for all the technical credits , especially the inspired direction , superb photography and gripping special effects .\nwhile this is an obvious made - for - tv follow up to titanic ( cameron ) it does draw attention to a signficant shipwreck that has been largely forgotten . bollards relatively recent expedition has shown that the ship was sunk by torpedo ' s as shown , but sunk because the portholes were open and the bulkhead doors were not closed . it is indeed fortunate that it happened on an inwards transit because on an outwards one the loss of life would have been enormous . yet again we have intrigue and romance fictionally built into a disaster movie but the truth of the matter is that the sinking of britannic was an act of war with minimal loss of life . with what had happened in galipoli and the western front it was hardly newsworthy . the movie for all its slights of hand might have just made its sinking more noteworthy than has otherwise been the case .\nmy review of the plot of britannic would only mirror other reviews , it ' s a good movie and does well with it ' s budget . it is a little to similar to titanic for my liking in that there is unexpected romance aboard a large ship that sinks . it ' s still very watchable until right at the end when the ship actually sinks . it switches from real footage of the characters to a computer animation of the ship sinking . the ship then topples over and sinks in all of about 10 seconds . the fact that it ' s animated couldn ' t be more obvious . it ' s such a let down , they coped well with the low budget throughout , then at the climax of it all they cheap out with some very nasty cgi .\nwith no other writer impacting so greatly on cinema , this programme explores on an epic scale how filmmakers have adapted , been inspired by and

old songs that i like and maura tierney walks into a pharmacy and says :\nthanks , frank\n, which is great because shakespeare didn ' t put a frank in his original play . i ' m not sure what the point

life hero who risked his life to do the right thing . rabe , a nazi german industrialist stationed in china , is credited with saving the lives of more than 200 , 000 chinese during the infamous 1937 massacre in nanking ( now nanjing ) in the second sino - japanese war . in a matter of weeks , the japanese slaughtered at least 200 , 000 civilians and prisoners of war and committed mass rape .\nteruyuki kagawa says :\nwhen faced with this film , many people will be shocked [ to learn ] the japanese carried out such cruel acts .\nnot that it will matter to most audiences . who the heck is john rabe ? \u201ci hadn\u2019t heard of this guy , \u201d gallenberger admits . but it\u2019s not the same in china : credited with having saved 250 , 000 people during the so - called rape of nanking , rabe is revered there , even though the entire incident \u2014 in which invading japanese troops in 1937 committed wholesale atrocities \u2014 has long been problematic on a multinational level .\nletter from lewis smythe to dr . g rosen , german embassy , mr . e . w . jeffery , british embassy and mr . john m . allison , american embassy\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nas sharply as it delineates an america of spotty , informal economies , the film avoids articulating most of the people who live and work in these spaces .\nfor the most part , though , the film\u2019s story is one of heroism in the face of potentially deadly circumstances . in itself , this is not necessarily an objectionable premise for a film and my point is not to suggest that rabe and his compatriots weren\u2019t heroic , but when the film ends with the chinese people cheering that man\u2019s final advance , while his colleagues toast him with a round of \u201cfor he\u2019s a jolly good fellow , \u201d it\u2019s easy to lose sight of the fact that as many chinese lost their lives in nanking as were saved , while rabe was free to sail comfortably home\u2014even if his future remained uncertain and his heroism wasn\u2019t always recognized . there are , as always , a nearly infinite number of possible lines of inquiry to pursue when crafting a film about a historical event and rabe as a real - life figure certainly deserves his recognition . but a movie that sentimentalizes that figure\u2019s heroism while presenting the chinese as ciphers defined only through their victimhood is probably not the strategy likely to yield the most salutary cinematic results .\nwritten and directed by florian gallenberger , based on the diaries of john rabe ; director of photography , j\u00fcrgen j\u00fcrges ; edited by hansj\u00f6rg weissbrich ; music by laurent petitgirard and annette focks ; production designer , tu juhua ; costumes by lisy christl ; produced by mischa hofmann , jan mojto and benjamin herrmann ; released by strand releasing . at the quad cinema , 34 west 13th street , greenwich village . running time : 2 hours 10 minutes . this film is not rated .\nafter 28 years building and managing a vast siemens plant in nanking , john rabe is ordered by the new nazi regime to close it down . before he can pack , the japanese army , lead unofficially by a bloodthirsty imperial uncle , lays siege to the city . rabe accepts , as prominent representative of japans ' major european ally , to head the western ex -

the director pulled far too many punches in regards to the violence of nanking . maybe i ' m a little hardened by watching films , but there was nothing about this movie that jumped out at me and drove home the lawlessness and violence of the japanese occupation of nanking . there is no way to show this and be discreet . the middle of the film was crying for a lurid montage of gang rapes , flies on corpses , and the worst depravities you can think of . john rabe ' s own diaries describe many of these , you wouldn ' t have even had to think up any of your own and you could have had his character narrated the whole thing . the film fails in depicting the rape of nanking , but it also fails in depicting the good nazi too . the movie needed a moment , several years later , with john rabe confronting the nazi atrocities in wwii and comparing them with the japanese atrocities in nanking . we need to see him understand what his own people have done and what his membership in the nazi party truly means as a stain on his character . we needed to see him understand that and tear up his membership card or something . we , however , do not and the movie is much the poorer because of it . despite this , the movie is still beautifully shot , with good production value , limited but effective cgi , and wonderfully acted . the movie is ultimately frustratingly incomplete and is not the best that could have been done with the material , but it was enjoyable while it lasted .\nproduction : hofmann & voges entertainment / eos entertainment / majestic filmsproduktion in association with zdf / pampa prods . / huayi brothers media corp . / lunaris film und fernsehproduktion\nthe chinese authorities eventually approved gallenberger ' s project , although they pushed ahead with their own film on the nanking massacre ,\ncity of life and death .\nrabe returned to nanjing , in a way . his remains were not preserved at his burial site in berlin , and all that remained was his tombstone . in 1997 , it was removed to china and given a place of honor in the nanjing massacre memorial hall , where gallenberger saw it as he researched his film .\nbruhl ' s character feels like it was slipped in to deliver a german - jewish viewpoint , which leaves him less involved in the developing storyline . the same goes for dagmar manzel as rabe ' s loyal wife , a character designed to up the fictional ante - - as if the film really needed more emotionalism .\nwhen gallenberger ' s film opened in china , it was the biggest release ever for a german film outside germany , he says . but the film has not been seen in japan , where the facts of the nanjing massacre - - including the number of victims , the size of the area in which killings are counted , even the number of days to be included by those measuring the massacre - - are still hotly debated among academics , politicians and political activists . gallenberger says he has been told that his film is banned in japan , but he thinks it ' s just that\nno distributor really has the guts to take it\nbecause of the potential protests .\nnow with historical distance , the 37 - year - old director hopes the film will trigger a new dialogue and help japan also come to terms with its own past .\nflorian gallenberger\u2019s \u201cjohn rabe , \u201d an award - winner in germany , is not a great film , but it tells an affecting story of the second world war , and one virtually unknown in america . gallenberger\u2019s hero , john rabe ( ulrich tukur ) , was a german businessman and nazi party member who ran the siemens plant in nanking , china . in december , 1937 , as the imperial japanese army approached the city , rabe , trading on his party membership and on the german - japanese alliance , and aided by a few other foreigners , including the american doctor robert wilson ( steve buscemi ) , set up , with the imperial army\u2019s grudging permission , a three - and - a - half - square - mile safety zone within the city . ( before the invasion , some of rabe\u2019s workers had literally hidden from an air raid under an enormous nazi flag spread out flat on the ground . ) during the \u201crape of nanking , \u201d beginning in mid - december and continuing for six weeks , at least two hundred thousand chinese sheltered inside the zone , while the japanese occupiers murdered as many as three hundred thousand people in the city , many of them civilians .\nrabe even wrote to adolf hitler asking for his intervention in the violence , as he believed the nazi leader would not have condoned japan ' s actions .\nthis is an excellent film about one of the main persons who sought to prevent parts of the nanking massacre , perpetrated by japanese in late 1930 ' s and which is denied to this day by the japanese . they claim that the whole series of horrible events is a propaganda fiction set forth by the chinese government . one odd element in the film is that the persons who set up the\nsecurity / safety zone\nwere shown wearing armbands with a simple cross or x on a white background , when the reality is that john rabe was a nazi and invoked the protection of hitler and the arm bands worn carried the swastika . censorship or revisionism does not hurt the story of these evil events at all . definitely a\nmust see\nalong with the film , city of life and death : the nanking massacre , released in 2009 . joseph mcgrory , philadelphia , usa\njohn rabe ends with its title character ' s exit from nanjing in early 1938 . the industrialist returned to germany , where he was arrested by the gestapo and forbidden to speak of the massacre . he died in 1950 , lost to history until his china diaries were rediscovered by the late iris chang , doing research in the mid - 1990s for her book the rape of nanking . ( gallenberger wrote the character of a young nanjing student photographer into his film as a tribute to chang ' s fervent desire to document the massacre . )\nbased on actual events , john rabe tells the story of a german businessman who rescued more than 200 , 000 chinese during the nanking massacre in china by courageously negotiating a safety zone to protect innocent civilians from the japanese army . drawing from john rabe s 1937 diaries as source material , academy award\u00ae winner florian gallenberger has crafted a portrait of a man revered as a saint in china to this day and yet never rewarded for his courage during his lifetime . ulrich tukur ( the white ribbon , the lives of others ) heads an all - star cast including daniel bruhl ( inglorious basterds ) , anne consigny ( the diving bell and the butterfuly ) and golden globe nominee\u00ae steve buscemi ( ghost world , the big lebowski ) .\nafter living in china for 30 years , rabe had a naive image of germany ' s national socialism as a humanistic workers ' movement , says mr gallenberger .\nrabe , a german businessman and nazi , was part of a group of expatriates who set up a safety zone for chinese refugees in the japanese city of nanking during the slaughter of at least 150 , 000 chinese civilians and the rape of tens of thousands of women . filming of rabe ' s story is expected to begin in the next few weeks and will be directed by german florian gallenberger , a student of director wim wenders and the winner of the best live action short film oscar in 2001 . the film will be a chinese - german co - production between huayi brothers and hofmann and voges entertainment . there is no news at present as to who will play rabe in the screen adaptation of the german ' s extensive diaries , which will be filmed in shanghai and nanjing , the modern name for nanking . hundreds of thousands saved\nnow we have the first fiction film about this event by one of the leading chinese directors , who contrives to tell it through the experiences of a drunken american mortician named john miller ( christian bale ) . this man finds himself in nanking at the time , misses a chance to escape the city and ends up hiding out in a huge catholic cathedral , which is theoretically neutral ground .\nuli edel ' s golden globe and oscar - nominated terrorist drama\nthe baader meinhof complex\npicked up four lola noms , including best film and best actress for johanna wokalek ."]}

of - view , rewarding the viewer with a deep and multifaceted depiction of the inner life of an immigrant woman . nazneen lives quietly day - by - day , never fully aware of the fact that her loyalties are gradually shifting in tiny increments from the past ( as embodied by her spouse ) to the future ( represented by her children ) . although the filmmakers always respect their source material and do their best to portray the real brick lane neighborhood , the core of this story is universal .\nthe bbc and the british film institute ( bfi ) are hitting the road together again . following the success of their collaboration on\nchannel 4 begins selling its own advertising . this year also sees the release of gurinder chadha\u2019s bhaji on the beach , a film about the experience of asian women in the uk . it is the first feature film to be directed by a british asian woman .\nmonica ali is a british writer of bangladeshi origin . she is the author of brick lane , her debut novel , which was shortlisted for the man booker prize for fiction in 2003 . ali was voted granta ' s best of young british novelists on the basis of the unpublished manuscript . she lives in south london with her husband , simon torrance , a management consultant . they have two children , felix ( born 1999 ) and\nshallow grave ( danny boyle ) is released to critical acclaim in the uk . crucially , the film also secures trust in film on four on part of channel 4 executives , who had doubts about its capacity to achieve success and ratings in the new commercial broadcasting environment .\nmonica ali\u2019s novel brick lane runs 415 pages , a substantial percentage of which contains letters from hasina ( nazneen\u2019s sister in bangladesh ) . since ali always punctuates nazneen\u2019s story with updates from hasina , the reader understands that nazneen is actually \u201cthe lucky one\u201d long before nazneen is able to appreciate this fact for herself . in deference to those who have yet to read ali\u2019s wonderful novel , i won\u2019t say any more here about the tragic dimensions of hasina\u2019s life .\ni met shafiq when i was 15 . i was at boarding school in brighton and was back home on holiday . we lived near brick lane in the east end . a friend and i went to the wimpy in aldgate . shafiq was the chef - he ' d emigrated from bangladesh a few years earlier . it was his looks that attracted me to him , in particular his hair . he had mobs and mobs of jet - black hair .\nduring the 1990s , led by david aukin , an increasing number of these productions enjoyed theatrical release , but it was the channel\u2019s broadcast seasons of film on four which , arguably , established the distinctive identity of its contribution to british film culture for a generation of television viewers .\ndavid rose , formerly head of english regions drama at bbc pebble mill , is hired as commissioning editor for fiction , including film on four .\nfilm four ceases to exist as a stand - alone company with its own distribution arm , and is relaunched as ( reverts to ) an in - house production unit within its parent channel 4 . tessa ross becomes commissioning editor for film four . she has a budget of \u00a310 million .\nthe first film on four , walter ( stephen frears , 1981 ) , is broadcast on the channel\u2019s opening night of transmission ( 2nd november ) . opinions and reviews were polarized about the controversial film , featuring a remarkable performance from ian mckellen in the titular role , as a mentally disabled young man .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nnazneen is a bangladeshi village girl who has just come of age when her marriage is arranged to an older man living in the distant fantasy of london . brick lane chronicles the story of her marriage , her children , the public housing complex she lives in , and her struggle to make sense of her role in a world very different from the one she was raised in . among the more interesting parts of the book were the outlines of the cultural challenges of bangladeshis living in england . i learned a lot about\nthis book impressed me because of its immersiveness . not only in terms of time and place , although that was very well handled , but mostly in terms of character . there are few modern human experiences that could be farther from my own than those of a woman born and raised in bangladesh relocating to london after an arranged marriage to a man already living there . but i found the main character of brick lane , nazneen , to be very relatable , to the point where i ended up totally immersed in her stor\nthe reasons there are few women protesting about a book and a film which is centred around a woman ' s life , he said , is more mundane .\nthis year also saw the end of the eady levy , a tax on box office receipts which was set up in 1957 to support the british film industry .\nthe last temptation of christ attracted the largest number of complaints ever , and oscars were received for the ( film on four funded ) madness of king george .\nthis book left me with quite mixed feelings to be honest . i wanted to love it , it\u2019s been compared to white teeth by zadie smith which is one of my all time faves , but i thought it lacked the vibrancy and liveliness of white teeth , despite both of them portraying the lives of immigrants in london . . brick lane follows nazneen , a bangladeshi woman who moves to london for an arranged marriage . i think the slowness of the book comes from the passivity of nazneen , as she doesn\u2019t really do much for much\nremarkably , dan also shows footage to people who actually appeared in the films as children and are seeing themselves on film for the first time , 80 years later .\nbrick lane is a real place , and it\u2019s been the center of the british garment district ever since huguenot refugees brought their looms from france in the early 18th century , followed by waves of poor irishmen and ashkenazi jews . when chanu leaves his position on the district council , a friend helps nazneen connect to the neighborhood\u2019s thriving underground economy , and her new job as a home - based pieceworker brings her into regular contact with \u201ckarim , \u201d ( christopher simpson ) the young man who brings her materials and takes her finished goods back to the factory .\nwhat i liked most about this book was the view it offered into a whole other culture . i have been to brick lane and tower hamlets many times , and have actually spent some months in bangladesh , but i obviously don\u2019t have any real understanding what it is to be part of the bangladeshi community , or indeed an immigrant to these shores . the main strength of this book for me , was bringing that world alive . spanning the eighties to the start of the 21st century ( building up , inevitably , to 9 / 11 ) this c\nbrick lane is an interesting book . the central character , nazneen is totally passive , almost too passive . it should be noted , however , that monica ali does a good job of setting up that passivity . from the very first page of the book , the reader is shown and told that nazneen is passive , that she was raised to leave things to fate . the problem with the passiveness of the central character is that it can make the book insufferable , you want her to do . it is here that i have to give ali points . th\ni did enjoy this novel ; it goes at a good pace and there is a warmth about it that i appreciated . the structure of the novel is interesting . nazneen is born in a village in bangladesh ; when old enough she is married to chanu , a much older man who lives in england . she goes to england as a bride in her teens in 1985 . the story follows her over the next years ( until 2002 ) as she has children and mixes with the bangladeshi community around brick lane . the novel also cuts to her sister hasina back i\ni ' ve never felt much compulsion to read brick lane but found it on a recent second - hand shop search and picked it up cheap . widely praised on publication i can understand why but it didn ' t do much for me . this may be as i read it while flying from costa rica to new zealand ( finishing it in lax ) so brain wasn ' t entirely working at full power . i found it difficult to keep my concentration on the story . immigration and alienation and a clash of cultures pervade as a young bride moves to england from\nfilm crew in tow , dave and si are off on six quests that take in namibia , the isle of man and ireland , transylvania , turkey , vietnam and mexico .\nbut the attempts of ruby films , makers of the forthcoming movie adaptation , to film exterior scenes in the street itself have re - opened wounds that have never really healed .\nbottom line : novel and film are completely complementary , and if i ruled the world , gavron would make a sequel in which hasina\u2019s pov was punctuated by letters from nazneen .\nfrom 1998 the channel\u2019s film production , distribution and video interests were incorporated into filmfour , to be run separately from the main channel under the leadership of paul webster . webster\u2019s remit was to run filmfour as a mini - studio , funding larger budget features through filmfour productions while continuing to fund low - budget , innovative film - making through filmfour lab .\n. . . where bangla town meets bollywood . award winning short film from 2003 . dir . paul makkar feat . surinder duhra , foyzal islam , hassan rahman , fagun thakrar .\ncould it take me longer to read a book ? i made myself read this book everyday so i could be done with it and properly hate it . look at what the ny review of books said :\nali succeeds brilliantly in presenting the besieged humanity of people living hard , little - known lives on the margins of a rich , self - absorbed society .\nwho is this crazy nut ? you need to read a book like brick lane to understand\nbesieged humanity\nor what it ' s like to live a\nhard , little - known\nlife ? the protaganist moves around\nthere ' s a good reason that brick lane was short - listed for the man booker award , and was nominated for a whole slew of other prizes too . it is just brilliant . that doesn ' t mean that it is necessarily fun to read . ( a 16 year old bangladeshi girl is married off to a 40 year old guy in london , and goes there to start a new life in almost poverty . no , not exactly a\nfun\ntopic\u2026 ) however , the descriptions are brilliant , and the story itself is mesmerizing . the subplots are rich and believable . you re\nhe threatened mass protests if the company attempts to film on the streets of tower hamlets , saying that\nthe community feels strongly about this . we are not going to let it happen .\nit wasn ' t that we were deterred by that , or not brave . we always absolutely believed that we would carry on making this film and that nothing would stop us - but , you know , the film crew was unwieldy and we had children on - set , and we weren ' t going to expose a child , or anyone , to any kind of threat .\nmonica ali read my book and the stories of these women spoke to something in her experience . she too was an immigrant but one that had left bangladesh as a child and grown up in britain . her novel is about two particular women \u2013 sisters working in the garment industries in britain and bangladesh \u2013 not about women workers in general . it is the stories of these women , their personalities and relationships that give the novel its appeal rather than the novel\u2019s geography . bangladesh appears largely through a series of letters written by the sister who stayed behind but the setting of the novel in brick lane is not particularly essential to its narrative .\n$ 9 . 99 kindle my favorite quotes from\nbrick lane\nby monica ali amma said to her daughters :\nif god wanted us to ask questions , he would have made us men\n( 53 ) .\nrazia waved the lollipop in front of raqib ' s [ the toddler ' s : ] face . he watched it devotedly . he became its disciple . for its sake , he would sacrifice everything\n( 65 ) . hasina on corruption in bangladeshi education :\nuniversity is also close down . all students hold protest . they rallying for right to cheat . in my heart i support . some who af\nalthough the idea of film funding wasn\u2019t directly discussed in the annan report which led to the creation of channel 4 , it was a passion of the channel\u2019s first chief executive , jeremy isaacs . in europe film and television had long enjoyed a symbiotic relationship \u2013 in germany and italy broadcasters co - funded films which were screened in cinemas and later on television \u2013 and isaacs was inspired by this example .\nhe was pulled to one side and given a bit of a talking - to by the policeman . dan later said he was annoyed the film - makers were\nthwarted\nby the bangladeshi community .\nmore importantly ,\ndistrict b13\nis probably best remembered for introducing the dazzlingly acrobatic practice of parkour to a larger audience .\nbrick mansions\nis nearly identical to the gritty , stylish original , down to character names and plot points , small details and big chase scenes . but it will be remembered as the last film paul walker completed before his death in a november 2013 car crash . ( walker already had begun shooting the seventh movie in the\nfast and furious\nfranchise , which is now scheduled for release in 2015 . )\ni am a promo producer / shooting ap with over 8 years of industry experience across a number of genres and sectors - from broadcast to film , to producing community filmmaking projects , corporate videos and charity promos .\nin retrospect ,\nbrick mansions\nis a great example of what walker did best all along . once again , he serves as the strong , stoic center in a sea of larger - than - life villains and weirdoes\u2014a thankless job , and one that\u2019s easy to underestimate . but clearly he recognized that was his strength : to use his california - surfer good looks , quiet calm and strong physicality to project the image of an appealing and reliable action hero .\nbrick mansions\naffords him a bit more range than he\u2019d enjoyed in his previous films\u2014he gets to be funny , kinda , as one half of a mismatched buddy duo\u2014but it\u2019s also the most physically demanding movie of his career .\nat the edinburgh film festival jeremy isaacs states his intention , if chosen as chief executive of the new fourth channel , to make , or help make , films for broadcast on television here , and in cinemas abroad .\nthis year also saw the release of paddy considine\u2019s harrowing feature debut tyrannosaur . funded by film4 and warp x , it was an expansion of dog altogether , a short film for warp films that considine wrote and directed .\nsarah gavron takes one of the other recognisable truths in monica ali\u2019s novel and makes it the heart of her film . as a result , the film is far more about different kinds of love , those that sustain and those that can destroy . we hear the voice of the sister who stayed in bangladesh , defying fate in a desperate quest for love through a series of encounters with men . we sense it may be a hopeless search .\nin the mid - twenties , film - maker claude friese - greene made a series of films during an intrepid drive from land ' s end to john o ' groats , in the early days of the motor car .\nsixteen of the twenty - one new british films screened at the london film festival ( which ran from november 11 -

financed and produced in partnership with other companies , and many of which would give opportunities to talented new writers and directors . david rose was the first senior commissioning editor responsible for guiding this innovation . between 1982 and 1998 channel 4 directly funded over 270 productions , which provided a major boost to the british film industry and created an unprecedented bridge between television and film .\nproduced by widei and agg team , the show brings the vibe of the most happening city london . be it film premieres , fashion events , current fads , asian viewpoints or the red carpet , aag tv takes you wherever it\u2019s happening .\nmeanwhile , 2010 spelled good news for film4 . firstly , with the arrival of the new chief executive , david abraham , channel 4 increased film4\u2019s annual budget by 20 % to \u00a310m , returning the budget for film development and financing to the level it was before the economic downturn . secondly , channel 4\u2019s commitment to funding uk film -

making doesn ' t box you in . there are precedents - shekhar kapoor making elizabeth , ang lee making sense and sensibility . film hasn ' t been dogged by the sort of problems that seem to affect literature - what hanif kureishi calls\nliterary apartheid\n- where you ' re only allowed to write about what you know , or are . i think it ' s part of a director ' s job to go into different worlds and find human stories and connect with them .\nin the beginning of the film , nazneen is the one who wants to go back home to bangladesh . she has all these images from her childhood , and she feels so claustrophobic . the only outlet she has is through her letters to her sister who lives in bangladesh , and she\u2019s always trying to go back home . but through the film and through her story , we realize that she finds home . she says : \u2018i didn\u2019t know that i was searching for a place which i\u2019ve already found . \u2019\nkatherine butler is appointed to head up channel 4\u2019s development slate , reporting to tessa ross , who takes on the joint drama brief across film and television in the new year , after the key players of the channel 4 drama team decamp to the bbc .\neast is east ( damien o\u2019donnell ) released . originally commissioned by david aukin in 1997 , the film becomes a huge success in the uk , partly thanks to filmfour\u2019s new , more aggressive marketing practices . it also breaks new ground in reflecting british multiculturalism on screen .\nmr salique raised the spectre of a worsening in community relations if filming goes ahead on location .\nwe are living in a multicultural society ,\nhe said .\nwe are in a peaceful situation . this film will make a lot of problems for local people .\ngavron was initially\nfilled with trepidation\nwhen asked to take on the \u00a33 million project . it is her first full -

story by bram stoker , who has evidently allowed his imagination full play in its wild and weird incidents . the book has met with favour in england , and is now published in book form in america . it will soon appear as a newspaper serial .\nthe ruins of dracula ' s fortress , poenari . photograph : catalin petolea / alamy / alamy\ndracula ' s curse abandons the adventure game elements of its immediate predecessor and returns to the stage based action platform style of the first game . unlike castlevania , however , dracula ' s curse is not strictly linear . after completing the first level and at several other points throughout the game , the player is given a choice of paths to follow . the choices made by the player in these circumstances can have a profound impact on how the game unfolds . there are fifteen levels in total .\nherodotus of judah : a coptic priest and healer in cairo , egypt . possesses the knowledge but , due to his old age , not the ability required to release the curse dracula has put upon mina .\nthere are four different endings to dracula ' s curse . which one the player receives depends on which additional character they beat the game with , if any . each ending will start with the line\ntrevor made many sacrifices . the long fight is over . dracula is dead and all other spirits are asleep .\ncastlevania iii : dracula ' s curse is the first game in the series to lay an explicit connection with dracula and the real life vlad iii . the game draws inspiration from bram stoker ' s novel and states that dracula is an evil sorcerer which was also brought forward in the novel . the only difference being that in the novel he became a vampire after his death whereas in the game he got his powers from an evil deity . this is further implied by the setting which is the 15th century , implying to take place in 1476 , the year that the real \u0163epe\u015f died ; this is also the official date given in the series ' timeline which was published later .\nbased on bram stoker ' s classic 1897 novel , this film from francis ford coppola and screenwriter james victor hart offers a full - blooded portrait of the immortal transylvanian vampire . the major departure from stoker is one of motivation as count dracula ( gary oldman ) is motivated more by romance than by bloodlust . he punctures the necks as a means of avenging the death of his wife in the 15th century , and when he comes to london , it is specifically to meet heroine mina harker ( winona ryder ) , the living image of his late wife ( ryder plays a dual role , as do several of her costars ) . anthony hopkins is obsessed vampire hunter van helsing , while keanu reeves takes on the role of jonathan harker , and tom waits plays bug - eating renfield . bram stoker ' s dracula was the winner of three academy awards .\ndracula ' s final form in this game bares a striking similarity to statues of the sumerian demon pazuzu .\nupon learning of an antediluvian manuscript detailing a strange rite alleged to return souls from the dead , dracula seeks to revive his former lover ' s soul . johnathan harker , a disciple of van helsing , sets out to combat the terror of dracula ' s power . he sends a letter to his professor detailing dracula ' s intention regarding the manuscript and his plan to resurrect his lover ' s soul into the body of johnathan ' s fianc\u00e9e , mina murray , chosen for her remarkable resemblance to his lover . johnathan ' s letter arrives but johnathan does not return , implying that he succumbed to dracula ' s power .\nanother supposed contradiction is that the game intro states that dracula was able to revive dark gods from the underworld and borrowed their powers for his evil goals , supposedly overwriting the statement previously given in the instruction booklet . the dark gods and the evil deity were most likely never supposed to be the same character ; however , a castlevania comic that chronicled the timespan between dracula ' s curse and curse of darkness once again makes references to these dark gods ( being referred to as\nthe evil lords\n) and states that dracula merely used their power to get even stronger .\n\u2018dracula , \u2019 by bram stoker ; hutch in son and co . , london , per george robertson and co . \u2014 this book is positively unique . we confess to not having conscientiously read every page ; for , after having perused the passage which will be presently transcribed , sampling the remaining two o r three hundred proved equally paralysing .\ncastlevania iii : dracula ' s curse is the sixth installment in the castlevania series and third to be released on the nintendo entertainment system . it was published by konami in japan in 1989 , and in north america in 1990 . in europe , it was published by palcom software in 1992 .\na canadian edition of bram stoker\u2019s \u201cdracula\u201d will appear this month . the author has produced a strong and dramatic story of a human vampire , which has attracted wide attention in england and america . many competent critics have pronounced it the most daringly successful work of imagination that has seen the light for some time . it is not a story for people with weak nerves , who are afraid of the gruesome .\norlok | marja z . tepes | elizabeth b\u00e1thory | blacula | daddy dracula | dracula ( batman ) | draculaura\nduring his stay in the castle , his host ' s nature soon becomes obvious to jonathan harker . he realizes that count dracula does not reflect on the mirror and he watches dracula escape his castle through the walls , like a beast . he also feels dracula ' s great strength and finds out that dracula himself was the driver that took him there ; harker notices dracula has no servants at all .\nthe music for castlevania iii : dracula ' s curse was composed by hidenori maezawa , jun funahashi and yukie morimoto . the original japanese version contained a specialized sound chip . this chip added an extra two square waves ( each with eight pulse width settings instead of the standard four ) and a sawtooth wave .\nalong with the big screen , dracula has appeared in a multitude of books and comics as well . dracula was integrated into the comic universe with his first appearance coming in historical suspense # 7 , which was published in march of 1951 . this version of the famous vampire is directly based off the very famous novel , bram stoker ' s dracula . dracula ' s popularity had eventually earned him his own title in marvel comics titled tomb of dracula , which first appeared in april of 1972 . the famous vampire had finally reached mainstream comics , causing him to be a formidable supervillan throughout his years in the marvel universe . the reason dracula was not adapted to comics for so long was due to the comics code authority , which prevented characters from other literary works being implemented into comics . to this day dracula is still being written about in the marvel comics in the death of dracula series .\nin 2006 konami released a port of castlevania iii : dracula ' s curse for cell phones . the port is faithful to the original in terms of graphics , being almost identical . the biggest difference is that the game contains an easy mode , similar to the 1993 japanese re - release of the original castlevania .\nwhat\nbram stoker ' s dracula ' s curse\nis putting out for us is in one way very much like\nblade\n. there ' s a whole society of vampires out there in the night , and they ' re not hungry for pasta . no , they ' re going after people blood , which is pretty much what you ' d expect . and of course , as long as there ' s a dracula involved somewhere in this , there ' s naturally a van helsing that follows shortly after . this particular van helsing has founded a pocket unit of vampire - hunting mercenaries ( on what , monopoly money ? ) that tracks , pursues , and ultimately kills every vampire that so much as breathes in their direction . this unit is called the nine , and the nine and the vampires , represented by a cabal called the vampire council , are about to set up peace talks , which go off with surprising ease .\ndracula is a horror novel about the ancient count or\nboyar\ndracula from the mountain slopes of transylvania . the novel is written in first person and some scholars say that it is based on hidden knowledge by stoker himself ; he was a follower of occultism and was part of the golden dawn ' s rosicrucian secret society .\n. mina describes the doctor as of medium height , strong build , with red hair , and eyes that change along with his mood ( stoker , 259 ) . van helsing is used in this narrative as a foil character to dracula . his kind and goodly nature as described by doctor seward is the counter to dracula ' s dark and manipulative characteristics\nin the chapel where he renounced god , dracula lies dying in an ancient demonic form . he asks mina to give him peace . they share a kiss as the candles adorning the chapel light up , dracula turns back to his younger self , and mina shoves the knife through his heart . the mark on her forehead disappears as dracula ' s curse is lifted . she decapitates him , and finally gazes up at the fresco of vlad and elisabeta ascending to heaven together .\nthe son of count dracula . he changed his name to alucard as a sign that he opposed his father ' s way of life , and infiltrated the underground of wallachia when dracula dispatched his armies .

gardens , is a series of extremely interesting papers and diaries , arranged in sequence by the author . one of the most curious and striking of recent productions is a revival of a mediaeval superstition , the old legend of the \u201cwere - wolf , \u201d as illustrated and modernised by mr . bram stoker , in the book which he entitles \u201cdracula . \u201d there are two things which are remarkable in the novel \u2013 the first is the confident reliance on superstition as furnishing the groundwork of a modern story ; and the second , more significant still , is the bold adaptation of the legend to such ordinary spheres of latter - day existance as the harbour of whitby and hampstead - heath . \u201cdracula , \u201d at all events , is one of the most weird and spirit - quelling romances which have appeared for years . it begins in masterly fashion in the wids of transylvania , and introduces to us an ordinary solicitor\u2019s clerk , engaged on a mission to a count who lives in its most remote fastness .\ncoppola ' s remake throws so much fancy technique at its story that the usually foolproof drama at its core gets drowned in a tide of images . it ' s not scary , it ' s not suspenseful and its eroticism is largely theoretical .\ncastel dracula is a 1970s brick block , with a\ndracula\nsign above the door . there ' s a bust of bram stoker in the car park , and a stuffed wolf in reception .\nthis hotel ,\nsays the guide ,\nis the only hotel in romania with a reception on the first floor .\ni think he hates this hotel . the manager is terrifying , but in a very dull way . he is young and thin and his eyes bulge over my shoulder , at something i cannot see .\nthis hotel is about the dracula from the novel , not the real dracula ,\nhe says .\nwe get passing trade from businessmen who don ' t want to stay at an ibis . nobody thinks we are a normal hotel .\npack your beach blanket for a bittersweet tale of love and summer ' s magic .\nbram stoker , sir henry irving\u2019s manager , is engaged in letters as well as in theatrical matters , and has written a blood - curdling romance of vampires and black magic , called \u201cdracula , \u201d which is published by the doubleday & mcclure company . it belongs to the order of \u201cflames , \u201d \u201cthe statement of stella maberley , \u201d \u201cthe carissima , \u201d etc . , not to mention such masterpieces as \u201ca strange story , \u201d \u201cthrawn janet , \u201d and \u201cthe horla . \u201d no doubt mr . stoker\u2019s fiends are very horrible and obscene , but the story lacks the touch of imagination which is indispensable for producing shudders . moreover , it is far too long and although the author has obviated this fault as far as possible by an ingenious use of the wilkie collins composite style , the interest is not maintained through so long a stretch of supernaturalism .\nbased on bram stoker ' s classic , this epic horror follows a team of elite vampire hunters led by colonel rufus king and jacob van helsing as they infiltrate the dark underworld to battle the ruthless vampire clan led by countess bathorly . starring : tom downey , eliza swenson , rhett giles , christina rosenberg produced by : david michael latt , david rimawi , sherri strain , rick walker directed by : leigh scott written by : leigh scott cinematography by : steven parker edited by : leigh scott music by : eliza swenson\nhundreds of published novels can attribute their aspirations to that of dracula . one such novel is titled the historian , in which a professor named paul and his daughter go on a search for the tomb of vlad tepes , otherwise known as dracula . the novel is unique in which it uses oral accounts and letters to form a cohesive story . the historical context also offers a different perspective in which vlad tepes was a real prince in the 15th century . due to the fact that the main character is a professor , parts of the novel delve into the myth and folklore of tepes and dracula . peter and his partner helen travel all throughout the world , uncovering mysteries such as the order of the dragon and several other relations to dracula . although this adaptation is far different from the original myth , elizabeth kotsova ' s novel is heavily influenced by bram stoker ' s vampire , with both endings resulting in a puncture of the heart .\nwilhemina \u201cmina\u201d harker : young woman who lives in london as a school teacher . she is engaged to jonathan harker and after nursing him back to health , she marries him . mina is the one who fits the pieces around dracula\u2019s mystery and helps the crew to understand and destroy him . after lucy , mina becomes dracula\u2019s object of interest and is fed on as well as feeds on dracula . a curse is put upon her to do whatever the count pleases . she is seen as an innocent and typical well -

four pages , which give the journal of jonathan harker after leaving vienna until he makes up his mind to escape from castle dracula , are in their weird power altogether unrivalled in recent fiction . the only book which to my knowledge at all compares with them is \u201cthe waters of hercules , \u201d by e . d . gerard , which also treats of a wild and little known portion of eastern europe . without revealing the plot of the story , i may say that jonathan harker , whose diary first introduces the vampire count , is a young solicitor sent by his employer to castle dracula to arrange for the purchase of a house and estate in england .\nafter jonathan and mina return to london , jonathan and van helsing lead the others to carfax abbey , where they destroy the count ' s boxes of soil . dracula enters the asylum , where he kills renfield for warning mina of his presence . he visits mina , who is staying in seward ' s quarters while the others hunt dracula , and confesses that he murdered lucy and has been terrorizing mina ' s friends . a confused and angry mina admits that she still loves him and remembers her previous life as elisabeta . at her insistence , dracula begins transforming her into a vampire . the hunters burst into the bedroom , and dracula claims mina as his bride before escaping . as mina changes , van helsing hypnotizes her and learns via her connection with dracula that he is sailing home in his last remaining box . the hunters depart for varna to intercept him , but dracula reads mina ' s mind and evades them . the hunters split up ; van helsing and mina travel to the borgo pass and the castle , while the others try to stop the gypsies transporting the count .\nafter jonathan and mina return to london , jonathan and van helsing lead the others to carfax abbey , where they destroy the count ' s boxes of soil . dracula enters the asylum , where he kills renfield for warning mina of his presence . he visits mina , who is staying in seward ' s quarters while the others hunt dracula , and confesses that he murdered lucy and has been terrorizing mina ' s friends . a confused and angry mina admits that she still loves him and remembers her previous life as elisabeta . at her insistence , dracula begins transforming her into a vampire . the hunters burst into the bedroom , and dracula claims mina as his bride before escaping . as mina changes , van helsing hypnotizes her and learns via her connection with dracula that he is sailing home in his last remaining box . the hunters depart for varna to intercept him , but dracula reads mina ' s mind and evades them . the hunters split up ; van helsing and mina travel to the borgo pass and the castle , while the others try to stop the gypsies transporting the count .\nthe recollections of this weird and ghostly tale will doubtless haunt us for some time to come . it would be unfair to the author to divulge the plot . we therefore restrict ourselves to the statement that the eerie chapters are written and strung together with very considerable art and cunning , and also with unmistakable literary power . tribute must also be paid to the rich imagination of which mr . bram stoker here gives liberal evidence . persons of small courage and weak nerves should confine their reading of these gruesome pages strictly to the hours between dawn and sunset .\nit is said of mrs . radcliffe that when writing her now almost forgotten romances she shut herself up in absolute seclusion , and fed upon raw beef , in order to give her work the desired atmosphere of gloom , tragedy and terror . if one had no assurance to the contrary one might well suppose that a similar method and regimen had been adopted by mr . bram stoker while writing his new novel \u201cdracula . \u201d in seeking for a parallel to this weird , powerful , and horrorful story our mind reverts to such tales as \u201cthe mysteries of udolpho , \u201d \u201cfrankenstein , \u201d \u201cwuthering heights , \u201d \u201cthe fall of the house of usher , \u201d and \u201cmarjery of quether . \u201d but \u201cdracula\u201d is even more appalling in its gloomy fascination than any one of these .\nand it ' s on to castel dracula , the dracula - themed hotel . my guide isn ' t keen . he ' s not exactly crucifix - waving , garlic - tossing unkeen , but he does mutter something about\nexpectations\n. but i beg , and we drive through more mountains . eventually i see an enormous neon crucifix . romania invented the neon crucifix . they are everywhere , even at traffic lights . on the next mountain is castel dracula . the presence of the crucifix , my guide says , is a co - incidence .\nno interview during this week would be complete without a reference to the jubilee , so i asked mr . stoker , as a londoner of nearly twenty years standing , what he thought of the celebrations . \u201ceveryone , \u201d he said , \u201chas been proud that the great day went off so successfully . we have had a magnificent survey of the empire , and last week\u2019s procession brought home , as nothing else could have done , the sense of the immense variety of the queen\u2019s dominions . \u201d\nreaders of \u201cdracula\u201d will remember that the most famous character in it is dr . van helsing , the dutch physician , who , by extraordinary skill , self - devotion , and labour , finally outwits and destroys the vampire . mr . stoker told me that van helsing is founded on a real character . in a recent leader on \u201cdracula , \u201d published in a provincial newspaper , it is suggested that high moral lessons might be gathered from the book . i asked mr . stoker whether he had written with a purpose , but on this point he would give no definite answer , \u201ci suppose that every book of the kind must contain some lesson , \u201d he remarked ; \u201cbut i prefer that readers should find it out for themselves . \u201d\none source of triumph of mr . stoker\u2019s triumph is to be found in the good faith with which he advances his terrible situations . he sets forth slowly , carefully , with due attention to every little detail and thus weaves around his hideous central figure a tissue of perfectly natural things . the honest men who are fighting the vampire may do incredible deeds ; they may visit burial vaults at midnight and go through scenes which we must leave mr . stoker to describe ; but they and their performances are treated with a calm particularity that is in itself impressive and convincing . then he has considerable ability in the representation o f in the representation of objects and happenings , so that the reader really sees them . witness the account given by jonathan harker , one of the characters , of count dracula\u2019s mode of going about the castle in which the englishman is temporarily a prisoner .\nthe latest additions to messrs . hutchinson\u2019s colonial library include stories grave and gay , sensational and domestic . pre - eminently striking is bram stoker\u2019s \u201cdracula , \u201d notwithstanding that it is in great part a reversion to old - fashioned methods . its plot is unfolded by letters and diaries in regular painstaking fashion , after the manner of wilkie collins . as for the plot itself , it is ghastly beyond belief . not even sheridan lefanu in his wildest moments ever conceived anything to equal it for haunting horror . it is a story of human vampires and demoniacal possession , of midnight apparitions and life - in - death . the book must be carefully kept out of the way of anyone with weak nerves ; but for those who can stand it there is a fearful joy in the gradual making clear of the tremendous mysteries involved . the art of the author is of quality high enough celare artem . there is no attempt at fine writing , and the simple details almost bring conviction . if they quite brought it , farewell to the reader\u2019s peace of mind !\nin the final stage , after losing to dracula , instead of starting back at the level ' s second section , the player begins right outside of the castle keep . this is another factor said to make the japanese game easier .\nin reply to further questions , mr . stoker said that he was born in dublin , and that his work had laid for thirteen years in the civil service . he is an m . a . of trinity college , dublin . his brother - in - law is mr . frankfort moore , one of the most popular young writers of the day . he began his literary work early . the first thing he published was a book on \u201cthe duties of clerks of petty sessions . \u201d next came a series of children\u2019s stories , \u201cunder the sunset , \u201d published by sampson low . then followed the book by which he has hitherto been best known , \u201cthe snake\u2019s pass . \u201d messrs . constable have published in their \u201cacme\u201d library a fascinating little volume called \u201cthe watter\u2019s mou , \u201d and this with \u201cthe shoulder of shasta , \u201d completes mr . stoker\u2019s list of novels . he has been in london for some nineteen years , and believes that london is the best possible place for a literary man . \u201ca writer will find a chance here if he is good for anything ; and recognition is only a matter of time . \u201d mr . stoker speaks of the generosity shown by literary men to one another in a tone which shows that he , at least , is not disposed to quarrel with the critics ."]}

linear techniques dilutes the emotional intensity of the story . yet with a great performance by lee yeong - jin , as well as some truly beautiful sequences involving potent water symbolism , dear dolphin is a thought - provoking film on the nature of life , death , and spirituality .\nthere ' s no denying kang ' s natural ability as both a storyteller and a stylist . but for all of dear dolphin ' s merits , and there are many , it is slightly undermined by a pervading sense of familiarity . the film ' s well - rendered elements have all appeared elsewhere before and there ' s a certain lack of conviction in its conclusion . kang has the makings of a great director but it may take another feature until she can harness her enormous talent behind a more gripping story . until then , dear dolphin is an impressive example of filmmaking with just the faintest twang of a hollow core .\nthe bottlenose dolphin shake the octopus in their jaws before slamming it onto the water ' s surface to wear out the creature ' s suckered arms .\nthe most anticipated film of the jeonju international film festival ' s korean competition this year , kang ji -

gun ( lee hee - joon ) and cha - kyeong ( han ye - ri ) are deeply in love , and we instantly sense their mutual affection as they warmly and playfully interact with each other . their life is a bit hard as both of them have to work to support their household , but they are happy in spite of that , and it looks like nothing can possibly separate them .\nhyeok -

the problem is that the film ' s deeply personal subject matter is about failing to come to terms with grief . it ' s about as painful an emotion as i can think of , and if the film ' s goal was to impart this despondency onto my own person , i had to admit that it succeeded . as much as i would like to , i can ' t fault any individual aspect of the film as being insincere to its characters or larger story , . . .\ndear dolphin excels when dealing with the subject matter of grief , and the variety of forms which it takes . the emotion is a problematic one to portray , yet director kang succeeds in capturing the different complexity of each protagonist . hyeok - geun\u2019s internal strife is articulated through his continual self admonishment and his self - imposed alienation , while the insomnia inspired hallucinations of cha - kyeong reveal his inability to accept her death . gi -

kyeong , . . .\nto stop the film from sinking beneath the increasingly fraught emotional tension , director kang employs a non - linear structure that harks back to when the threesome were happy . the technique certainly brings levity to the story , as well as further conveying the sense of loss through the contrast between the past and present . indeed , the director utilises her wonderful sense of colour and composition during the flashback sequences that feature vibrant warm reds and yellows , in complete opposition to the washed - out palette following cha - kyeong\u2019s death . yet it also serves to usurp the character development in the here and now , as plot threads that took time to establish are often dumped only to later reappear , or to never return at all . the confusion that arises as a result of narrative jumping through time frames results in a distancing between the characters and the audience as it becomes difficult to fully engage and empathise with their respective situations . this is ultimately dear dolphin \u2018s downfall , as in a bid to keep the film \u2018light\u2019 with traditional melodramatic conventions , the powerful emotional resonance of each character becomes lost .\nunable to get over the loss of his dear departed , hyeok - geun imagines his bubbly young wife has returned to him . his fragile state has prompted him to delude himself , or has it ? the deceased cha - kyeong also appears in her own scenes , which exist outside of the man ' s imagination . during these segments she interacts with a middle -

kyeong floats through a larger body of water , symbolically present in the film as a gateway between the here and hereafter .\nwith her short - cropped hair and lively personality , han ye - ri , as cha - keyong , is reminiscent of carey mulligan . following her death , she appears in the same blue dress throughout the rest of the film . this visual clue reminds us of her passing but the blue color of her garment is also important . it has a calming effect on her husband and also matches the bodies of water she frequently finds herself beside , be they fish tanks , aquariums or pools . she is of course the dolphin of the title .\nhyeok -

ok ( lee yeong - jin ( \uc774\uc601\uc9c4 ) , cha - kyeong\u2019s best friend , who simultaneously hates herself for her involvement in the accident and also for secretly coveting hyeok - geun . as their grief becomes ever greater , and reality and fantasy become difficult to separate , gi - ok and hyeok - geun must learn to overcome their emotional trauma lest it consumes them .\nas empathy becomes increasingly diluted , it therefore falls to the actors to keep the emotional intensity sharp in the present . in this respect it is lee yeong - jin who gives the standout performance as gi - ok , as the actress appears evermore fraught with guilt , stress and grief . the anguish on gi - ok\u2019s face as she reaches out to hyeok - geun for emotional and physical support is sincere , while the continual rejection of her advances become heartbreaking as she sinks lower and lower . lee hee - joon and han ye - ri give competent performances as hyeok - geun and cha - kyeong , but they are lacking the chemistry and passion that are sorely required when exploring the death of a loved one . as such the film quickly becomes gi - ok\u2019s story as it is her emotional distress that is the most fully developed , and is her resolution rather than hyeok - geun\u2019s fragile mental state that takes precedence .\nluckily director kang also injects the film with some stunning cinematography in relation to scenes involving cha - kyeong and hyeok - geun , particularly when employing the water symbolism that is so inherent to the narrative . the scenes are absolutely gorgeous and appear more like a painting than a film . ironically the surreal and otherworldly sequences further complicate the narrative , but when scenes are this beautiful it\u2019s hard to complain . often accompanied by an ethereal soundtrack , the conveyance of water as a source of life , death , and even purgatory are lovely to behold , and it is these scenes that resonate long after the film and provide thought -

kyeong goes to her close friend gi - ok ( lee yeong - jin ) because of her floristic work she has to deliver to gi - ok and then returns to the home by gi - ok\u2019s bicycle at night , she is killed in an unfortunate car accident , and her death is a devastating blow to both gi - ok and hyeok - geun .\na year has passed . although they try to move on with their respective daily lives , gi - ok and hyeok - geun do not seem to recover from their loss at all . hyeok - geun looks particularly troubled ; as the people around him begin to notice from his blank face , he always looks tired and deprived of sleep , and that sometimes affects his work at the physical rehabilitation center . the memories with cha - kyeong always hovers over his mind , and he is tormented by the fact that he could have prevented the accident if he had just let cha - kyeong stay at her friend\u2019s house during that night .\nand then , he begins to see cha - kyeong around him . he knows it is not real , but he willingly accepts this hallucination because he has missed her so much . is she just a hallucination or a real ghost ? we see cha - kyeong going around a local aquarium for watching dolphins at one point , and she comes across a maintenance guy who later functions as her therapist listening to her in his office . the movie does not tells us what exactly is going on , but han ye - ri and ki joo - bong , who plays a maintenance guy , make their scenes engaging , and we listen to them even while we feel baffled about what the hell they are doing .\nmeanwhile , the movie slowly reveals an odd triangle between its main characters . like hyeok - geun , gi - ok feels lots of guilt about her best friend\u2019s death because she was also indirectly responsible for the accident . she casually lent her bicycle to cha - kyeong even though she knew it needed repair due to a brake problem , and that fact has been gnawing her heart even though she had admitted her fault during the investigation . to make the matters worse , cha - kyeon\u2019s frigidly gentle elder sister ( lee eun - ah ) still cannot forgive her ; she frequently visits gi - ok to remind that to her , and that hurts gi - ok a lot \u2013 and she has no one to talk with about her pain .\nwhen gi - ok visits the cemetery for remembering her friend , she happens to meet hyeok - geun . they are pretty awkward to each other at first , but , when they later have a dinner together with several glasses of alcohol , they begin to open their mouth , and they talk a lot about cha - kyeong while sharing their feeling of loss . in the end , they find themselves having sex in a hotel room during that night .\nnow you may think you know where the story is going , but the movie defies your expectation , and it does not push its characters into predictable plot . because they have no idea about how to deal with their difficult situation , they continue to struggle with their respective problems , and the lack of communication between them brings more troubles and hurts to each of them . hyeok - geun keeps being haunted by his hallucination , and his \u2018affair\u2019 with gi - ok makes him all the more miserable . as watching hyeok - guen haunted by his wife , gi - ok feels frustrated about the lack of response from a man she has secretly loved for long years , and , with the increasing guilt of her own , she also begins to feel what hyeok - guen has been seeing .\nthe movie is based on the director kang jin - a\u2019s short film made in 2009 . i have not seen it , but i can say its feature version is a good film to be appreciated . there are dreamy moments occasionally appearing in the movie , but there is always the realistic atmosphere of mundane daily life , and lee yeong - jin , lee hee - joon , and han ye - ri all give convincing performances . their characters come to us as the real people dealing with the real problems we can identify with , and their human behaviors remind that we are sometimes not that wise in case of handling the matters of heart .\nthis entry was posted in movies and tagged car accident , friend , romance , south korean film . bookmark the permalink .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthis site javascript must operate are available for your convenience . currently the script does not work properly .\nplease enter your name and e -

owned newspapers ( and other media outlets ) pressured theatres to boycott the film and also threatened libel lawsuits . hearst also ordered his publications to completely ignore the film , and not accept advertising for other rko projects .\nunsurprisingly , the apogee of bergman\u2019s idiosyncratic modernist explorations also comprises the work in which his particular authorial intensity is at its strongest . in an ambivalent article in the january 2002 issue of sight and sound , peter matthews suggests bergman\u2019s critical fate rests on authorial markers that are almost uniquely \u201coverdetermined\u201d . all bergman\u2019s mature work exhibits what is both the most appealing and disconcerting about his films ; no one has enunciated a clearer and more intimate authorial voice through cinema\u2019s mass -

acclaimed film from debut film director / actor orson welles ( 24 years old ) is usually regarded as the greatest film ever made . the film , budgeted at $ 800 , 000 , received unanimous critical praise even at the time of its release , although it was not a commercial success ( partly due to its limited distribution and delayed release by rko due to pressure exerted by famous publisher w . r . hearst ) - until it was re - released after world war ii , found well - deserved ( but delayed ) recognition in europe , and then played on television .\nthe face of ullmann , anguished performer of so many bergman subjects , has never been more chillingly open than in scenes from a marriage as we almost embarrassingly watch it up close for v ery long periods without a cut . forced upon us through such extended looking , the face has never been more confrontingly interior , our relationship with it more disturbingly intimate \u2013 as we watch the material communicative nerve ends of our giant onscreen companion as it seeks to look \u2018inside\u2019 itself , by means of a gaze ultimately directed straight out at us .\nbergman immediately followed the huge success of fanny and alexander with a much more characteristically small film called after the rehearsal ( which i have not been able to see ) . like marionettes , it was intended only for tv , but was nonetheless then sold for theatrical release . this was the last film written and directed by ingmar bergman to be commercially distributed \u2013 although in late 2002 he has completed shooting a new film possibly to be released in 2003 .\npressure was also brought to bear by the roman catholic archdiocese to revoke the film ' s license on the grounds that the work was\nblasphemous\nand\nsacrilegious .\ncatholic leader francis cardinal spellman , with the catholic -

up shots of big - busted russell rolling around in the hay had the desired effect at the box office ( especially among wwii gis ) . one of the film ' s most vulgar stunts , also orchestrated by birdwell , was to have skywriting planes fly over san francisco where they spelled the film ' s title followed by two giant circles -

picture\u2019 yet also so accessible and burlesque as bergman\u2019s most famous film . this is at least in one sense odd : for all its preposterous thematic reach and blatant theatricality , the film achieved its immense cultural impact ( still being shown twice daily somewhere in the us four years after initial release ) through a reflexively coded intertextuality \u2013 something not so unfamiliar to attuned postmodern minds after all .\na long period away from bergman\u2019s cinema should allow serious film culture to look afresh at a body of work that is today one of film history\u2019s best - kept secrets . faced with new uncertainties and doubts about a turn - of - the - century world , our role in it and what we want out of images , as well as perennial problems of subjectivity that are far from overcome , fresh eyes and minds could really open up bergman\u2019s most challenging work .\nbergman has written and directed around fifty feature films , and for over twenty years from the late - \u201950s his work was canonical to \u2018art - house\u2019 movie culture , academic cinema studies and film clubs all over the world . today , a young film enthusiast or student is most likely only to have seen the seventh seal or perhaps wild strawberries ( both 1957 ) , or in some countries , persona . however , they are just as likely to have seen no bergman at all .\nduring this very active twenty - year epilogue to one of the most remarkable careers in world cinema , ingmar bergman has been a specter haunting film history . although not often invoked in film culture , he is still in some quarters thought of as an important figure that asked of cinema what it is \u2013 and what are the beings that invent it . during ullmann\u2019s press interviews for faithless , half the questions were about bergman . there was curiosity about his script for the film , as well as his personal and creative relationship with ullmann . but there were also questions about bergman per se as if to simply acknowledge one of the not so often mentioned masters of world cinema , and to gesture towards the corner that shrouds an already dark oeuvre .\ncurrently book and film still enjoy wide - ranging popularity . any surviving repertory theater can screen gwtw without fear of angry demonstrations . in 2011 , scribner issued a 75th anniversary edition of mitchell\u2019s novel , with a new preface by author pat conroy , who claims that gwtw inspired him to become a writer . how many high - profile filmmakers today would voice the same soft spot for griffith\u2019s film ? and in 2016 , there are more people watching gwtw on blu - ray than bfi\u2019s new edition of birth .\nbut if the birth of a nation had been , during its 100 years before us , simply a delivery system for its melodramatic thrills , or for a racist ideology , we\u2019d not be discussing it now . the film survives as something far more complex and compelling than either of these elements would allow . griffith , man and artist , was complicated , too . placing the confusion of griffith\u2019s ambitions , inner struggles , and intuitive vision alongside the ideological and aesthetic turbulence of his film only deepens our perceptions of it .\nin his monograph , stokes conjectures that , if some african americans managed to see birth upon its release in 1915 and , like the white audience , were entertained , even awed , by the experience \u2013 despite the film\u2019s depiction of blacks \u2013 it may have been because the sight of whites playing blacks \u201cemphasize [ d ] the film\u2019s character as fictionalized entertainment . \u201d 17 stokes goes on to wonder if blacks may have discounted the relevance of the events they saw on screen because they depicted those from a distant past .\nbut as much as the film gone with the wind may appear to distance itself from the birth of a nation , it still talks the same talk of southern victimhood . indeed , selznick\u2019s gwtw , as much or more as birth , helped extend the legend of the old south and the exquisite pathos of its demise \u2013 all of which mitchell\u2019s novel had honored wholeheartedly \u2013 into the middle of the 20th century and beyond . the film also retains mitchell\u2019s version of slavery as the same beneficent institution we see in birth .\nit is a misreading that extends to the film as a whole , namely that scarface is an illustration of hollywood glorification of crime and violence . anyone familiar with this film will remember it as an unequivocal critique of the falseness and emptiness of the american dream when it is a ) reduced to wealth , image and status , since even when the character has it all , happiness eludes him ; and b ) built on crime and violence , since he who lives by the sword will inevitably die by the sword .\ntoday , shown elsewhere than in the us , the film\u2019s race to the rescue would likely be received differently , to say the least , and with less post - screening soul - searching . in the discussion williams recalls a recent , non - controversial public showing of birth in italy \u2013 no protests feared there \u2013 where the audience sprang to its feet at the klan\u2019s ride and gave it an ovation . in the us , you\u2019d have to screen the film to an audience of white supremacists to get that kind of reaction .\nthe oscar - nominated film ( with four nominations , but no wins , including best actress and best adapted screenplay ) was called notorious , salacious , revolting , dirty , steamy , lewd , suggestive , morally repellent and provocative . time magazine was noted as stating :\njust possibly the dirtiest american -

- they simply expressed their disapproval of the portrayal of african - americans in the film , and their concern about its potential to present an image of an idyllic master - slave relationship .\nbut then , linda williams\u2019 response does seem to grant permission \u2013 but with a condition . \u201cof course you should enjoy it , \u201d she says , before adding , \u201cyou should think about it afterwards . \u201d where stokes describes his students as millennials who can only be coaxed from their phones by an action - packed film , williams speaks in a tone of parental admonishment to those less thoughtful in the audience . she\u2019s right , of course , but she\u2019s demanding a given . i\u2019m not sure about millennials , but most people in the us who see this film today ( and enjoy it or not ) will do a lot of thinking afterwards without any finger - wagging prompting . has any other film in the history of the medium caused more thinking ? and bfi\u2019s edition gives us a goodly , worthwhile sample of current critical thinking about birth .\n[ t ] he filmmaker who still best exemplifies to a large part of the public the serious and difficult artist is often ignored by critics whose stated concern is the art of film . to them , bergman represents only a stage in film history that has been bypassed in the inexorable progress of the avant - garde . as a modernist who is no longer new , bergman falls prey to the danger identified in one of oscar wilde\u2019s sayings : \u201cnothing is so dangerous as being too modern ; one is apt to grow old - fashioned quite suddenly . \u201d ( 6 )\nnot mentioned anywhere in the release is exactly what kind of event made up this conference , other than , i assume , a showing of the film , with this roundtable perhaps following it . speaking in bfi\u2019s southbank in london , linda williams of the university of california , berkeley , makes the point that the film could not currently be shown publicly in the us without attracting protest in the form of demonstrations or even violence \u2013 a stricture that has held fast for decades . indeed , the only way anyone in this country can see birth these days is on home video .\nthe stark , controversial , black and white film was so viciously denounced by the legion of decency upon its release with a\nc\n( or condemned ) rating that many theaters were forced to cancel their showings , but it still did moderately well at the box office despite the uproar .\none local judge in baltimore , maryland was quoted as saying that russell ' s breasts\nhang over the picture like a summer thunderstorm spread out over a landscape .\nhowever , it appeared that the publicity pin - up shots were much more revealing , sultry and suggestive than the film itself .\nwithin minutes of screen time , gus is caught , \u201ctried , \u201d and , though not shown , executed by the klan . swept along by griffith\u2019s splendidly visceral cross cutting , you might not pause to consider the abhorrence of the proceedings until the mounted , robed riders toss gus\u2019s corpse onto silas lynch\u2019s front porch like a sack of meat . it\u2019s perhaps the ugliest moment in the film \u2013 the real climax of the story\u2019s racial hatred \u2013 and for anyone who attempts to admire the film , the toughest to negotiate . and it\u2019s a climactic juncture that griffith encourages us to forget in the gathering heat of the final rescue .\nelia kazan ' s film ( based on tennessee williams ' play ) told about a thumb -

gin owner silva vacarro ( eli wallach in his film debut ) . in the opening scenes , baby doll was crib - bound in nursery furniture , spied upon through a wall by her ' peeping tom ' husband , and given no privacy while taking a bath .\ni\u2019ll admit it : i enjoy the birth of a nation . how do i manage that ? be assured , it\u2019s complicated . after watching bfi\u2019s new release , it became clear that any pleasure i take in this film involves an increasingly troublesome process , a maneuvering of my sensibilities and aesthetics around and about my social awareness and historical perspectives , however narrow and limited these latter two may be . and what role does my race ( caucasian ) play in my ability to enjoy it ? i doubt that many african americans , lacking the ability to dodge or compartmentalize the film\u2019s racism , can enjoy , respect , admire griffith\u2019s achievements in birth .\nover the years , boutique labels like britain\u2019s bfi and the u . s . \u2019s kino international can\u2019t seem to stop issuing video editions of the birth of a nation because , apparently , they sell \u2013 perhaps not like hotcakes \u2013 but for a 100 - year - old silent film , i\u2019m guessing , very well indeed .\nduring the writing of this film , bergman was arrested mid - theatre rehearsal for tax evasion , and while the matter was being investigated ( bergman was cleared years later ) , he flew into another deep depression , spending a period in a psychiatric ward . he then left sweden to live and work in germany for many years .\nitaly has its own societal woes , of course , and most likely within these its own varieties of racism , but it doesn\u2019t share america\u2019s unique racial legacy . so , if a few of their citizens are willing to take in a screening of a 191 - minute , century - old silent film and end up enjoying it without self - examination , it\u2019s because they need not process , as any us viewer must , how they experience birth \u2019s racial polemic . what we must necessarily view as hateful , demagogic propaganda , a non - us audience can accept as the background for a tale of epic sweep in which racist dynamics are merely fuel for the film\u2019s thrill machine .\nthe film engendered controversy ( and efforts at suppression in early 1941 through intimidation , blackmail , newspaper smears , discrediting and fbi investigations ) before it premiered in new york city on may 1 , 1941 , because it appeared to fictionalize and caricaturize certain events and individuals in the life of william randolph hearst - a powerful newspaper magnate and publisher .\ndixon\u2019s fiction offers more than one actual rape , but griffith , for the purposes of his grand rescue finale , only allows its threat , which has the effect of softening dixon\u2019s dedicated polemic by making the film adaptation concerned more about entertainment than avenging stowe\u2019s book and reconstruction , a need not shared by the average moviegoer , even in 1915 .\nthis is a handy , though nonscholarly , guide to all aspects of kubrick\u2019s work . entries are included not only on the films , but also on the various people who worked on them as well as peripheral figures such as sound effects artist jack foley and topics such as film noir ; includes a moving afterword by kubrick assistant leon vitali .\npretty spectacular , nothing less than a complaint from the american that french support for their film industry violated the principles of the free market . tavernier\u2019s reaction had been explosive . he pointed out that france had only a fraction of its own market , which was swamped by american product . tavernier was a formidable adversary . ( mcdonald 2001 : 65 )\nnaval officer and his wife try to make money by smuggling brandy from france . christopher craig age 16 was convicted of murder of a policeman ( with derek bentley ) bentley said ' let him have it chris ' and bentley was hung . craig saw my death is a mockery that afternoon and it was said that the film egged him on the violence\nthe film ' s philosophical theme was about the prospect of remaining a virgin , in order to remain respectable , and the efforts of two aging playboys attempting to score in a love triangle with an attractive young virgin - wholesome ( or virtuous ) and chatty 22 year - old heroine and struggling beer - commercial actress patty o ' neill ( maggie mcnamara in her film debut ) . the two lotharios were successful 30 year - old architect and wolfish bachelor donald gresham ( william holden ) , donald ' s upstairs neighbor - 41 year - old divorced , martini - drinking , charming david slater ( david niven ) , the father of cynthia slater ( dawn addams ) , donald ' s ex - fiancee .\nin fighting back : responding to the birth of a nation \u2013 the opening essay in bfi\u2019s booklet \u2013 \u201cfilm curator\u201d ashley clark shares the thrust of stokes\u2019 book by summarizing the naacp\u2019s decades - long protest before closing with mention of the blasting critical response to birth by two current black filmmakers , spike lee and paul d . miller ( aka dj spooky ) . 9\nas he began work on birth , griffith believed he was still inventing what a movie could and should be , and while entertainment was uppermost in this burgeoning definition , griffith the pioneer , the self - proclaimed cinema artiste , had those other qualifications in mind when imagining an epic historical film like birth : education , edification , and the truisms of history . 19\nearlier in the film , a union deserter , after discovering tara is bereft of valuables , appears to have similar designs on scarlett , but before these can be clarified , she blows a hole in his skull with a concealed pistol . scarlett\u2019s feistiness in the face of male violence is a nice antidote to mae marsh\u2019s passive suicidal response to it . [ \u21a9 ]\nperhaps most importantly , dvd allows bergman\u2019s peak modernist work , in which the thorny issues of demonic subjectivity and authorship are most thoroughly explored and intertwined , the possibility of a fresh position within contemporary film discourse and history . in his excellent 1982 book ingmar bergman and the rituals of art , paisley livingston hones in on the problem of bergman\u2019s particular modernism , saying that already :\nin 1936 , when david o . selznick bought the film rights to margaret mitchell\u2019s novel gone with the wind \u2013 before it was published \u2013 he knew full well what the public was prepared for , and what they would consider a grand night\u2019s entertainment . and by then , the realities of reconstruction , fully disregarded by an indifferent nation at large , were even further in the past .\nsuch criticism exemplifies problems swedish film writers would intermittently continue to have with bergman\u2019s work throughout his career . this quote and the copious writing that followed over forty years ( perhaps most notably the criticism he received from the swedish left in the 1960s ) suggests this filmmaker\u2019s position as a pebble in the shoe of a hyper - enlightenment culture , loudly articulating repressed aspects of a highly rationalist modernity .\nsome folks , too , may have elitist , gourmet tastes for censured films like triumph of the will and birth , the ugly content of which they savor as if it has a sort of inverted coolness . in the late \u201970s i remember being at a party held by young art school students where a video of riefenstahl\u2019s film was played as visual background to the hip gaiety . [ \u21a9 ]\nwith the svensk filmindustri phones ringing hot for sales of bergman\u2019s international hit comedy , the filmmaker slipped his most personal script yet onto the producer\u2019s desk . drunk with the success their cannes - crowned auteur was bringing the company , a cheap shoot was approved . the outcome was the seventh seal \u2013 a genuine landmark in film history that would exemplify \u2018art cinema\u2019 the world over for years to come .\nthe pca ' s joseph breen complained about the film ' s unacceptable , comedic\nlight and gay treatment of the subject of illicit sex and seduction .\nit was subsequently rated condemned by the catholic legion of decency for vulgarity , in part because of its offensive use of prohibited words such as\nvirgin ,\nseduce ,\npregnant ,\nand\nmistress\nin the dialogue .\nhughes ' picture was notorious for leering camera views of statuesque and formidable jane russell ' s ample , buxom cleavage - displayed to the fullest and greatest effect to anger hays code censors . she was often pictured with an oft - unbuttoned , low - cut peasant blouse . the film was denied a production code administration seal of approval for the exploitative use of young star jane russell ' s prominent , bulging breasts and cleavage .\nas the novel opens in the antebellum south , mitchell\u2019s use of \u201cnigger\u201d in her novel is limited mostly to blacks speaking of fellow blacks \u2013 an interesting but uneasy parallel to its current use among african americans in the same context . until reconstruction begins , the whites of southern gentry refer to blacks consistently as \u201cdarkies . \u201d the only whites to use the term without hesitating are poor whites . the word occurs nowhere in the film . [ \u21a9 ]\nfew people in 1915\u2019s white america saw anything wrong with gus\u2019s lynching , the klan\u2019s ride to the rescue , or with the brief scene at the end of the film in which the klan terrorize blacks out of voting . in woodrow wilson\u2019s history of the american people ( 1901 ) , the author had written of the need for the kkk as a \u201cveritable empire of the south , to protect the southern country\u201d \u2013 a passage quoted in one of birth \u2019s intertitles .\nwith their abrasive intimacies , there was always something a bit too public , too \u2018shared\u2019 , about watching films like through a glass darkly ( 1961 ) , persona , or scenes from a marriage ( 1973 ) with strangers or friends in the cinema . at home , with a film preserved in almost hyper - real fidelity , one has the undistracted opportunity to experience and reflect upon the awkwardly close power of our singular encounter \u2013 face to ( onscreen ) face .\nrather than philosophical explication , the silence \u2018s almost wordless images generate our experience and reading of a very open film , concluding the loose trilogy in an unexpected way . the complex combination of an uneasy realism with stark formalism makes for clean and complex deep - focus shots matched with an immaculate hyper - diegetic soundscape . so little is literally said here that the formal affect and hermeneutic generativity of bergman\u2019s sound - image compositions are given space to speak louder than ever .\nvon sydow and ullmann are again the couple in 1968\u2019s the shame . sometimes seen as concluding a trilogy about the artist\u2019s ethical relationship to social reality with the previous two films , it also takes a step back in formal complexity . this is a war film without action , heroes or oppositional clarity , concerned with the basic responses of the human subject \u2013 in this case , two na\u00efve ex - concert violinists \u2013 to the sheer existential un - understandability of war .\nthe dramatic plea of these battleground meetings may have the flavor of 19th - century theater or fiction , but griffith largely keeps part one free of what linda williams , as quoted in stokes\u2019 monograph , calls \u201clinking melodramatic form to the dialectic of racial pathos and antipathy . \u201d 24 the heart of this film beats truest within the modest confines of the camerons\u2019 front porch , which , as it faces that small - town street , begins and ends birth \u2019s first part .\nfollowing her breakdown in the attic karin is penetrated again , by the all - too - real cold fluid of science as her doctor / husband calmly applies a sedating needle , to which she responds with only marginally more displeasure than to the benign and genuine ( but to her , meaningless and perfunctory ) words of love he offers throughout the film . meanwhile , outside awaits the giant spider shape of a helicopter in which von sydow will accompany her to his secular sureties of institutionalised care .\nany socially aware american viewer , in feeling the excitement of the klan\u2019s ride , must pay the price of thinking about it . that is , in the wake of the film , he or she would have to consider what it means to be a 21st - century us citizen cheering \u2013 however inward and silently \u2013 a horse - mounted army of white - sheeted vigilantes that calls to mind repulsive but culturally embedded images of massed klan marches like the one in washington , dc , in 1928 .\nhay\u2019s reading of the bait \u2019s protagonists is that \u201cthey have been anaesthetised by their cultural diet\u201d . for cultural diet , read american - driven consumerism . for american - driven consumerism , read american cinema , namely , violent action and horror movies and noir - inspired thrillers like scarface . but scarface , as we have seen , is not a film that would anaesthetize in this way , unless misread by spectators already in some way lacking in knowledge and / or moral values . as tavernier explains :\nif cries was the lush color masterpiece for those who found bergman\u2019s more radical ( and monochrome ) \u201960s cinema too extreme , like seventh seal , the film is also one of his prism works . it looks back at themes more thoroughly essayed in earlier films , and glancing toward a more accessible \u2013 though difficult \u2013 humanist tonality . yet despite its more prosaic form and thematic concerns , it is the following scenes from a marriage that more relentlessly and radically continues bergman\u2019s diverse engagement with modernity\u2019s crisis of belief .\ntelevision seemed the best means through which to fund new projects , and in 1974 bergman staged , directed , and filmed a version of mozart\u2019s magic flute . the film recreates a 17 th century swedish theatre in which a modern audience watches the opera . the camera also shows us behind - the - scenes moments during the performance , amid a subtle essay on the mediation of art forms and the constant presence of other textual realities ( perhaps no less revealing ) beneath that of the \u2018primary\u2019 text / performance .\nadditionally , to bring the film\u2019s characters up close to the fighting , there are two sequences in which the younger and elder sons of each family meet in battle . in contrast to the brady - like images , these scenes are couched in the theatrical , sentimental device made popular by 19th - century romantic fiction , in which separated and far - flung relatives , lovers , or friends meet in highly coincidental and often ironic circumstances . in such meetings , emotional coals theretofore banked in distance and longing suddenly flare .\nthe studio system , an industrial , factory approach to moviemaking , had been in place at least since mgm\u2019s emergence in 1925 , killing off independent filmmaking for decades to come . and griffith had been an independent , more so than selznick , who certainly attempted to act like one , but who was held in place by what the american public expected , especially in the adaptation of a nationally revered novel , which needed to be , as a completed film , a nearly one - to - one equivalent of mitchell\u2019s text .\nadapting another book whose southern characters are caught in the same mesh of war and defeat as the birth of a nation , selznick played it safe . birth may have been a cautionary tale for him . although mitchell\u2019s romantic historical brought the author a pulitzer instead of notoriety , the producer , before commencing principal photography , vetted the screenplay with black leaders to eliminate possible offenses . among these was reportedly the use of the \u201cn\u201d word \u2013 although it seems unlikely a major film of its time would use the term anyway . 20\nout of a genuinely avant - garde prologue emerges a story in which an actress refuses to speak , while a nurse is assigned to her \u2018recovery\u2019 . most of the film takes place in and around a beach - house on the windswept coast of f\u00e5r\u00f6 . but the women\u2019s experience of space and time , along with the viewer\u2019s grasp of these forms and persona \u2018s narrative , suffers increasing interruptions as fragmenting layers of formal - thematic stimuli build into one of the most difficult , open and generative feature - films ever made ."]}

times amusing actor who adores alliteration . * mega - serial = tear - soaked soaps where the utterance of every line is followed by reaction shots from everyone else in the cast . * \u201cfigure\u201d = slang for chick , who in the eyes of the tamil - cinema hero , is hopefully modeled after the well - rounded figure 8 . * family sentiment = see \u201cmega - serial\u201d above .\nsara : i disagree about one being more tolerable than the other simply because to me they\u2019re both misogynistic . sometimes , in the latter cases , the woman is told where to get off by the male before she is attracted to him , like in sivakasi where asin falls in love with and stalks vijay till he relents , after he lectures her about modest clothing , which doesn\u2019t spell like a healthy attraction . endrendrum punnagai was another colossal exercise in misogyism , where the very unlikeable male lead character has two woman wanting him for his sexist behaviour .\nvenkatesh : endrendrum punnagai was god - awful and misogynistic . andrea being sexually aggressive with jiva for the sole reason that in the first five minutes that she knows him , it\u2019s clear that he doesn\u2019t respect women , is astoundingly implausible . he then slaps her for doing so and continually refuses throughout the film to apologise to her , which can at best be described as hyper - inflated male ego . trisha apparently sees something in him that none of us watching the film ever do when all he does is trash all his loved ones despite continuing to live off some of them , like his father . the back story is that he hates all women because his mother ran out on his father ? we\u2019re never even presented with her perspective and considering that the father was even quick to forgive her , she probably had good reasons to do so . then of course , we have all the other side - track stories of jiva\u2019s friends portraying marriage as a universal hell where the wife is the devil . frankly , endrendrum punnagai seemed like a mish - mash of all the different sexist elements of films from previous decades , which i thought we had seen the last of , put together in one film in a modern upper middle class setting .\nendrendrum kaadhal starring by vijay and rambha . vijay is the managing director of a large shipping corporation . he lives in a joint family with his father ( nambiar ) , two brothers ( radharavi and dhamu ) , their wives and children and a spinster sister ( banupriya ) . he goes to switzerland to stipulate a contract with ' nizhalgal ' ravi and raghuvaran . there he meets rambha , ravi ' s sister . the two fall in love . ravi approves of vijay but when he expresses the condition that vijay should stay with them after the marriage because india is not good , he refuses his offer and returns home . . . .\nspoilers ahead\u2026 walking out of idhu kathirvelan kadhal , i wondered if anyone attempting to make a romantic comedy these days should first be handed a dvd of galatta kalyanam , which , forty - five years after its release , is still unparalleled in its fabrication of comic obstacles on the way to happily - ever - after . the director of this film , sr prabhakaran , seems to be after a similarly lighthearted romp , at the close of which kathirvelan ( udhayanidhi stalin ) ends up with pavithra ( nayantara ) . but instead of manufacturing funny situations , he settles for sometimes - funny one - liners by santhanam ( who plays kathirvelan\u2019s best buddy mayilvahanan ) . and the rest of the narrative is filled with disposable subplots with mega - serial levels of melodrama .\nnote : this is a graphics - intensive page . please be patient , while the page is loading .\nmeena is trying to act costly these days . earlier she had signed a movie called\nvandaanga jeyichanga\ndirected by guru dhanapal . initially she easily spared a huge chunk of her dates for this satyaraj starrer . but all in a sudden , she stopped cooperating , with a firm demand to hike her rate . she argued that she has been giving consistent hits in tamil and so she would not settle for anything less than rs . 21 lakhs . but as a result of her stand , finally meena is out of\nvandaanga jeyichanga\n.\nbesides , in her interviews meena always expresses her desire to act with vijay , the most successful tamil hero of today . but when she was approached to act with vijay in\npriyamudan\n, meena declined the offer for some unknown reasons . similarly due to unavailability of dates , meena had to lose\nyendrentrum kaathal\n, another vijay - starrer too .\nin her losing spree of movies ,\nmaavilakku\nis another one .\nmaavilakku\nhad both meena and jayaram as the leads . but when jayaram lost his popularity in a short time , he was promptly replaced by ajeet . as soon as he became the hero of the movie , ajeet demanded and got meena out of\nmaavilaku\n. the inside story is , during a stage - performance in singapore , ajeet did make some unwanted passes at meena . but infuriated mother of the actress , scolded ajeet in front of everyone .\nwhile she is ready to lose movies after movies in tamil , meena\u0092s telugu market seems to be promising again . meena once popular in telugu , soon lost her place to ramyas and soundaryas . but her new movie in telugu with venkatesh , the remake of tamil\nsuriyavamsam\n, is declared to be a box - office hit . with this success in hand , meena is trying to stage a come back in telugu . in the process , she probably does not mind losing a movie or two in tamil , where star compensation is said to be much lower than telugu .\ntamil movie industry is in dire straits . in 1997 , some 70 movies were released . this year it looks like this number won\u0092t cross 50 even . there are 25 movies on the floor and out of them only 8 are said to be actively under - production .\ngemini color lab has declared a 3 day a week schedule , because they do not have enough work . a dubbing theater , which used to gross rs 3 lakhs a month , got only rs 1 , 000 in june . four major preview theaters in chennai , which used to make over 60 shows a month , did not have even 30 in june . prasad studios did not have a single film unit working there , except for an odd tv commercial maker . obviously , the industry that entertain millions is in deep trouble . hope it is just a passing phase and the industry will be resilient enough to recover from this ugly predicament .\nsoundarya is the numero uno actress in telugu . she is the one lady who debunked the telugu industry\u0092s norm of expose - and - succeed , a rare feet which could make even sridevi envy . this fully clad beauty is said to demand a cool rs 25 lakh per film and that too without any hitch !\nsubsequent to\narunachlam\nand\nkadhala kadhala\n, there is a great demand for her in tamil too . but the busiest lady in telugu does not accept any tamil projects for the lack of time .\nrecently soundaraya is keen on entering the national market with a new hindi movie , a remake of the tamil original\nsuriyavamasm\n. in the hindi version , soundarya is doing devayani\u0092s role and she is paired with abishek bachan , the big b\u0092s son .\nsimran is the heroine of the new movie\nkannedire thondrinaal\nproduced by shiva shakti pandian . pandian\u0092s earlier movies\nvaanmathi\n,\nkaadal kottai\n,\nkallamellam kadal vazga\nand\nkaadale nimati\n, were all family - oriented movies with no scope for glamour or titillation . on the contrary the heroine of his current project is non other than the\nkavarchi - pooyal\n( translated roughly as glamour - cyclone ) simran herself .\nno way . .\nsays pandian . he maintains , like his other movies even\nkannedire thondrinaal\nwill also be a family entertainer with very little scope for glamour or exposing . may be she would appear in modern dresses , but nothing more than that !\nbut the next question we have is , why simran . . . why not devayani or suva luxmi kind of heroines ? this apparently looks like a total misuse of simran\u0092s talents ! with simran fully clad for\nkannedire thondrinaal\n, no wonder prashant the aiswarya - stuck hero of the movie , is reported to be voraciously reading\nmahabharat\nin the sets !\nramki , a hero of several low - budget movies , has finally come out open on his clandestine affair with nirosha . though there were several stories published in many magazines , he never bothered to accept or deny his relationship with her . for late - comers , nirosha is a tamil heroine of late eighties and character actress radhika\u0092s sister . among her movies , notable ones are agninakchatrum , surasamhaaram and mainthan .\nresponding to a report about their alleged secret marriage , published in a local daily , ramki maintained that there is no truth in that story . however , he revealed that their marriage is definitely on the cards , probably sometime next year . since both his family and nirosha\u0092s family approve of their marriage , ramki asserts that there is no need for them to go for a secret marriage .\nmeanwhile it is reported that nirosha is already staying in one of the houses owned by ramki . but when a reporter from a tamil daily , tried to contact her at that house , nirosha was indifferent and curtly drove the reporter away !\nduring the making of the movie\nengineer\nat kaaraikudi , looks like madhuri dixt , the heroine of the movie , had special privileges like a room with air - conditioner , attached bath - room etc . when there was a question about such special treatment for the heroine only but not for the hero aravindswamy , soon he too got all those amenities for himself . but the pity is aravind\u0092s salary in engineer is much less than what is paid to madhuri , the ex - queen bee of bollywood . well , this time . . . it is going to be difficult for aravindswamy to claim parity with la dixit , when it comes to his salary .\nafter a dull start of\njeans\n, people predicted prashanth would have no future in tamil movies . even sivashakthi film wanted to fire prashant out of their project\nkannedire thondirinaal\n. but prashanth soon responded and reduced his compensation to retain his role . currently ,\nkannedire thondirinal\nis rapidly progressing . also , as soon as he got some positive feedback on the box - office performance of\njeans\n, ashok amirthraj has decided to retain prashanth for their next venture too . besides , agathiyan , kavithalaya and\nchinna vadiyar\nfame tns are the other people who have signed prashanth for their next movies . after his long absence from tamil movies due to\njeans\n, finally prashant seems to enjoy the fruits of his patience .\nbeing jinxed in tamil , ramya shifted to telugu movies to become one of the most successful actresses of that industry with her oomph , generous exposures and not to mention about her erstwhile mentor raghavendra roa . once her competition in telugu has become stiff with the new arrivals like soundarya , saakchi and raasi ( manthra ) , ramya tried to get an entry into bollywood with her david dawan connection . but when her\nbanarasi babu\nwith govinda turned out to be a damp squib at the box - office , there are no takers for ramya in hindi too .\nso now this tamil girl is trying to come back home with the new tamil movie\nathai mahan\n. ramya will be one of the heroines of\nathai mahan\na karthik statter with the other heroine being swathi .\nwhile working for his recent release\npriyamudan\n, vijay had an accident and hurt his spine . later he and his parents ( s . a . chandrasekar and shoba ) visited uk to treat his ailment . in the process they have also found a girl for vijay now !\non june 22 , vijay was celebrating his birthday in london . during this occasion , chokalingam an industrialist was visiting them with his wife and daughter sangeeta . when vijay\u0092s parents saw sangeeta , they were very impressed with the way she carried herself and instantly decided that she alone would be the future bride for their son .\nlike an obedient son , vijay has also agreed to marry sangeeta , but after two years . because he is currently concentrating more on his career .\nincidentally sangeeta , a student of medicine , is a srilankan tamil , whose parents migrated to uk long back .\nit is a well known fact that maestro illaya raja and kaviyarasu vairamuthu cannot stand each other and won ' t work for any film together . recently director cheran had a song for his\ndesiya geetham\nwritten by vairamuthu . but when raja came to know about it , he was upset and said he won\u0092t work in the project , provided vairamuthu\u0092s song won ' t make into the movie . subsequently the disputed song was dropped and raja had his own way !\nramba always denied that simran\u0092s arrival has not hurt her career even a bit . however at the moment , she seems to have lost the race to simran with not that many tamil projects in her hand . also with her telugu market less promising , she is slowly expediting the possibilities of entering into malaylam movies . it is to be noted here that ramba made her debut as an actress first in a malayalam movie .\nknowing that her glamour would not fly in malayalam , this sexy siren is already concentrating on her acting skills rather than her diminishing costumes .\nincidentally , ramba counts largely on her new hindi movie ,\ngharwali , bhaharwali\n. in this anil kappor - raveena starrer , ramba is the second heroine and if it succeeds it could enhance the prospects of ramba\u0092s sagging bollywood career .\ninitially the mega budget movie\njeans\nfrom shanker was thought to be a fiasco . many blamed prasanth for its believed failure . so much so , a gang of people stormed into prasanth\u0092s home with rotten eggs and tomatoes to show their disapproval !\nnow the scene has completely changed with the movie fast approaching towards its hundredth day and shanker seems to have gone beyond his hat trick with a clean double double .\ninterestingly , the dubbed hindi version of\njeans\nwent belly up . hardly within few days after its release , the movie was taken out of the bollywood circuit . in this connection , here is a comical reference to its failure , quoted from a popular bollywood magazine :\neven aishwarya\u0092s finely rounded bottom could not save the film (\njeans\n) from ripping at the seams . people just were not interested in the film . may be it has got to do with the new swadeshi movement in the country . may be the film should have had an indian name . how about langoti , khadi , dhoti , chaddi , lungi , etc . ? sounds as good as any ol\u0092 jeans !\njokes apart , basically the audience in the north failed to recognize anyone else in the movie other than ash . bad dubbing , confusing double roles and flaky story line are the other attributes for its failure in hindi . nonetheless , financially it was not a great loss because the hindi version of this film , costing over rs 20 crores was sold only for a meager rs 80 lakhs !\nalso , with\njeans\nsongs in hindi losing ground , it is yet another set - back to a . r . rahman in bollywood . it is to be remembered that he was not that successful with his earlier hindi movie\nduad\ntoo .\nas for aishwarya , it is her second consecutive flop in hindi since her debut in\naur pyar ho gaya\nand this has made her rivals like manisha gleeful .\ncurrently , both manisha and aishwarya are not in talking terms , because eariler aishwarya had stolen many good projects that were specially slated for manisha . but after the failure of\njeans\n, it is manisha who is having the last laugh ! she openly goes around telling that her jeans are not washed out . also manisha believes that all her directors would realize her worth only after they have worked with other girls . probably , director shankar could be one of them , who had worked with manisha in ' hindustani ' but did not repeat her in his next film . may be he too would realize her value by now , like mani ratnam who took her again in ' dil se ' after his close encounter with ash in ' iruvar ' .\nthe glamour wave created by simran has a definite impact on many tamil heroines . from meena to less known\nkaruthama\nrajasri , everyone in the industry is ready to bare their heart and soul . rajasri particularly is all out to wipe out her village girl image , with her exciting photo sessions filled with liberal exposures .\nanother one who is desperate to expose for success is easwari roa , the\nraman abdulla\ngirl . in her forthcoming movie\nguru paarvai\n, easwari appears in a titillating bathing scene under a water fall , clad in a transparent sari with nothing else to cover her top . well , don\u0092t have too much hope on this scene guys , because it is doubtful it could escape the hungry pair of scissors from the censor board !\nrecently a popular tamil weekly , exposed sarath kumar and a famous movie couple about their attempts to threaten and coerce nagama to marry sarath .\nbut nagma managed to get out this predicament with the help of a high level political source in tamil nadu and moved back to her original head quarters , mumbai . from mumbai nagama is now on an interview spree to bollywood magazines , talking a lot about her broken relationship with sarath .\nincidentally it\u0092s nagama\u0092s second failure in her relationships , with the earlier one being with rajeev kapoor son of the greatest showman raj kapoor .\nas an aftermath of their split , nagma is replaced by kanaga in sarath\u0092s new movie\nsimma rasi\n.\nsimma rasi\nis directed by erode sounder and it also has kushbu , vineeth , manivannan , ananda raj , r . sundar rajan , manorama , ' thalai vaasal ' vijai and others . music for the movie is scored by s . a . raj kumar .\nlast month actress gowthami got married to sandeep bhatia an industrialist from mumbai , under thrilling circumstances . like it happens in movies , while gouthami was eagerly looking forward to sandeep for the muhurat , the johnny - come - lately groom showed up pretty late , guess what ? . . during\nyemagandam\n, an inauspicious hour !\nlooks like bhanupriya too is married now ! . recently , bhanu was in the us to visit her sister nishanti ( remember her in\nenga oru pattukkaran\n? ) .\nas it turned out to be , she met this handsome six - foote , adarsh keshav and got attracted to him . subsequently , the couple got married at the sri venkateswara temple in malibu california on june 14 .\nright now , bhanu is in the usa with her husband adarsh , who is a hyderabadi , settled in the united states as a computer digital graphics\u0092 engineer .\nbesides bhanu\u0092s mother , her sister nishanti , her husband and a handful of the grooms\u0092s relatives , nobody else was present during this wedding .\nyoung actress , revealing her behind the screen ordeals and adventures . with each episode turning cruder than other , the story of this actress is nothing but a soft - porn , exposing various popular movie personalities and their bedroom secrets .\nthese days sivakumar willingly agrees to play fatherly roles in movies , but with a restriction - he does not want to play father for surya ( his real son ) in movies ! recently he refused one such role in\nsandipoma\n, leaving prakash raj to play that role . sandipoma ' s heroine\nis preetha vijayakumar , who is causing ulcers to many of her rivals by grabbing prestigious projects with many leading men like vijayakanth and sathyaraj .\nmonisha\u0092s lead girl mumtaj has started speaking in tamil , thanks to t . rajendar . how did he managed to do that ?\nhey . . . i have made even amala to speak tamil in my movies . making this girl speak tamil is a peice of cake\nsays t . rajendar .\nin monisha t . rajendar appears in a character called\nkaadal dasan .\nfor this role , his job is to sing an eve -

radha and radhika - nirosha in eighties and now the trios nagma , roshini and jothika .\nthe latest addition to such star sibblings are simran and her sister monal . but for her nose , monal is said to be a look alike of simran .\ninitially monal had no interest in acting in movies . however when she was visiting her sister simran from mumbai , she has landed into a tamil movie pairing her with none other than prasanth !\ntamil full length movie | nilave vaa full hd movie | ft . ilaiyadalapathi vijay , suvalakshmi\nsuperhit family entertainer -

running feud between kathirvelan\u2019s brother - in - law and the latter\u2019s neighbour , who happens to be pavithra\u2019s father ( jayaprakash ) . kathirvelan has to end this animosity if he wants to marry pavithra .\nthis last subplot is all that\u2019s needed \u2013 that\u2019s the plot , really . it begins to play out well into the second half , and that\u2019s when the film really perks up , with all sorts of cheerful nonsense like a mimicry artist and the ability to overhear conversations in a house across the street . in the last half - hour , we finally get something close to the romantic comedy we were promised . why , then , the sluggish couple of hours earlier ? and why the weepy lectures , from fathers and sons and sisters and brothers - in - law , about love ? when , early on , kathirvelan is given the brush - off by pavithra , mayilvahanan instructs him about the \u201ccockroach theory . \u201d however much you try to ward off the insect , it keeps coming back \u2013 and that , apparently , is how kathirvelan should continue with his stalking persevere . one wonders if that theory isn\u2019t applicable to the \u201cfamily sentiment\u201d that infests our films . however much you want it gone , it will probably survive a nuclear holocaust .\nan edited version of this piece can be found here . copyright \u00a92014 the hindu . this article may not be reproduced in its entirety without permission . a link to this url , instead , would be appreciated .\nsanthanam = at -

hearted . what a load of baloney .\nthe cockroach example is more reminiscent of udayanidhi\u2019s grandpa \u2013 yevlo seruppadi vizhundhaalum \u2013 uyir pozhachi nadappaaru \u2026 .\ni had no intention to watch this garbage and reading your review has only reinforced my stance . it says a lot about our society when a powerful , wealthy person resorts to such archetypes as a success formula in films . sure , he has artistic freedom , but i\u2019m concerned that such misogynist & irresponsible behaviour will validate what\u2019s already going on as something acceptable , and over time , go unquestioned . what a fall from grace for tamil cinema from the galatta kalyanam days . ok , now i\u2019ll go back into my cave .\nthis \u201ckey\u201d thing that you\u2019ve recently incorporated is quite welcome ! kudos for digging yourself a hole ( through the sub - titles post ) and then climbing out of it even stronger .\nbr : good question ! i don\u2019t have a concrete answer ( my guess is some film in 80s ) because \u2014 like evolutionary adaptation , it\u2019s been slowly but surely creeping in . every generation has to rediscover the devadas template : nenjil or alayam , vasantha maligai , vazhve maayam , etc . it started fairly innocuously with protagonists demonstrating \u2018sincere love\u2019 by refusing to marry after their failed romance leading to the glut of one - side - love stories in the 80s . and since happy endings make up for better box office collections than sad ones , some wise guy conceived of a twist in the tale where the heroine\u2019s marriage turns out to be a failed one . and given the tamil obsession with karpu , this disillusionment should either occur after the wedding but before they get to consummate it , or even before the wedding itself .\ni understand if you\u2019re a two - bit director looking for an easy hit and going with such a story . what disappoints me is when established stars like rajini in sivaji ( the whole vanga pazhagalam bit was a big wtf ) resort to this . i don\u2019t buy that it was done for comic relief . firstly , it wasn\u2019t funny at all , and secondly \u201cidharkuthane aasaipattai\u201d vijay sethupathi shows how a comedy on this topic is done right .\n@ br : can\u2019t think of the first but from the classics that i remember : vaazhve maayam , singaara velan , thambikku ends ooru , kaadhalan , to name a few . the trend has probably been around for a long time and i think it\u2019s just becoming more obvious in recent times , partly thanks to globalisation . these films also portray a sense of \u2018taming the arrogant woman\u2019 , by stalking and harassing her into eventually relenting to their charms ."]}

atlantic movie set in bruges ? perhaps it is the work of a diasporan initiating new cinematic parameters or subverting old ones within a self - conscious postmodern global age . whatever the criterion , the same hit -

narrative , a self - reflexive use of violence or outright emotional deflection , the distinctive film codes exercised in in bruges make evident mcdonagh\u2019s adeptness for challenging established concepts of art .\nin a similar vein , in bruges makes an indelible connection between class , ethnicity and conflict . on the one hand the underworld of ken and ray highlights the social disparities that perpetuate ethnic conflict on the ground ; on the other hand , harry\u2019s desperation to belong to a particular rank or category , to be part of an imagined living standard and to obtain it at any expense , indicates a certain critique of the organised system and demonstrates how the exclusivity of the latter perpetuates the former . in this sense , in bruges is not only presenting a humourous tale of gangsters and their path of redemption ; it is also drawing on the freedom of fiction to document social concerns .\nthe irish hit -

partisan basis on the general election ballot .\nno word on when we could see a district 9 sequel on the horizon , but that film did leave us with a bit of a cliffhanger and more than a few science fiction fans would be interested to see a district 10 . so it ' s encouraging to see that there ' s still life in that project .\nwhile\ndistrict 9\ndoes not have the built - in box - office appeal of behemoths like the\nstar trek\nand\ntransformers\nfilms , it does share their affection for loud noises and shiny objects . but\ndistrict 9 ,\nby first - time director neill blomkamp , also has the cautionary plausibility more commonly associated with genre works of social commentary , like the less -

picture experience before he signed on for district 9 included such vfx - heavy movies as the core and poseidon as well as invisible - fx projects like ocean ' s thirteen and leatherheads .\nneill blomkamp\u2019s district 9 was a sci - fi tour de force . after an alien ship arrives in johannesburg in 1982 , district 9 tells the story of wikus van de merwe - a mild - mannered bureaucrat who is in charge of dealing with the city\u2019s alien occupants . a mixture of sci - fi and body horror , blomkamp\u2019s breakout movie was a huge hit . but will he ever get around to the sequel he\u2019s been promising us ?\nin an interview with ign , neill blomkamp talked about how much he wants to make district 10 ( the would - be title for the district 9 sequel ) , but he\u2019s currently busy getting elysium in theaters for august . blomkamp is also getting chappie together and he can only do so much in one day . blomkamp explained :\ndistrict 9 has too many gory vaporizations to qualify as a serious statement on race relations , but it does outclank transformers : revenge of the fallen by a wide margin , and you thrill to the cleanly cut action sequences .\nat the start of that film , \u201cdistrict 9\u201d ( which sony\u2019s tristar pictures division will open on aug . 14 ) , an alien spacecraft stalls out in earth\u2019s atmosphere , not over new york or washington but over johannesburg .\nlos angeles \u2014 the low -

of - factly that many south african slums are in fact dominated by nigerian gangs as district 9 is in the film .\ndistrict 9 is , of course , the highly acclaimed modern cult classic 2009 science fiction thriller film directed by neill blomkamp , written by blomkamp and terri tatchell . the film stars sharlto copley , jason cope , and david james .\n28 years ago , aliens landed in johannesburg , south africa . a powerful corporation known as multi -

46 , opening the lion ' s den on friday afternoon .\nit\u2019s often easy for south africans to imagine they live in an alternative reality . maybe that\u2019s why district 9 , driven by the south african experience of its director , neill blomkamp , who lived here until his late teens , works so well .\ni was reading about this a couple of days ago . i bookmarked it as it ticked all the buttons for me . . . let ' s see . got it . it was the urltoken website and the article for district 9 was urltoken\nthere ' s a lot more to district 9 than just exploding tesla guns . did you know one actor played all the aliens , plus some major scenes were improvised ? we list the top things you should know about the new alien epic .\nsouth african ufo drama district 9 is one of the most anticipated films of the summer . but had it come out of hollywood \u2013 and to the attention of the us government \u2013 it might never have made it to the big screen in tact\nblomkamp is good at mustering speedy action and posting grisly sight gags in the background , carnage always hovering comically at the edge of your vision . but i ' m not sure that district 9 entirely gets the earthling racism out of its own system .\npretty much every feature film that i ' ve done is not a straight piece of filmmaking . district 9 is entirely metaphor , allegory , and partially satire . elysium is satirical , and chappie is completely mental . it fits into its own genre .\nanyway , that\u2019s one way of interpreting what has happened in district 9 . as the film opens , the space ship is there . we are told by various commentators , in earnest documentary style , complete with talking heads , that we kind humans rescued the debilitated aliens from the space ship and quarantined them in a resettlement camp , known as district 9 , in soweto . now there are social problems to do with the aliens\u2019 presence , so they have to be moved to a camp outside of town .\nwatching the film which is about alien refugees who set up home in a south african shanty town called district 9 , one cannot but submit that the science fiction film remains an extension of the frequent\u00e2 negative attack on the black nations by the western world .\ndistrict 9 is not a pretty movie . it doesn\u2019t look pretty . its message isn\u2019t pretty . it hurts the eyes to watch . in fact , district 9 is an outright ugly movie , but it is an ugly that is perfectly crafted and takes ugly to the heights of a new aesthetic . the screen is full of unflinchingly realistic ugly slums , banal ugly interiors of institutionalized spaces , and ugly people whose entire lives and bodies have been corrupted by the ugly greedy powers that dominate everything in the landscape .\ncan someone explain to me why there were alien weapons in district 9 , where did they come from and why there wasn ' t stricter enforcement of the nigerian camps ? they knew the nigerians had them , but didn ' t do anything about it .\ngreat review andries , one of the best i\u2019ve read . i wrote a premise for district 10 , check it out here :\nproducer peter jackson planned to produce a film adaptation based on the halo video game franchise with first - time director neill blomkamp . due to lack of financing , the halo adaptation was placed on hold . jackson and blomkamp discussed pursuing alternative projects and eventually chose to produce and direct , respectively , district 9 . blomkamp had previously directed commercials and short films , but district 9 was his first feature film . the director co - wrote the script with terri tatchell and chose to film in south africa , where he was born . [ 7 ] in district 9 , tatchell and blomkamp emulated the world explored in his short film\nalive in joburg\n, choosing characters , moments and concepts that they found interesting , and fleshing out these elements for the feature film . [ 8 ]\ndistrict 9 is a gritty , groundbreaking sci - fi thriller that highlights the sheer brilliance of peter jackson and neil blomkamp . from the stunning visuals to its emotionally gripping tale , the film keeps you on edge and provokes the graphic nature of survival . 5 / 5\nas you may know , district 9 was inspired by neill blomkamp ' s short film alive in joburg . but what many people don ' t realize is that he created alive in joburg ' s footage of people being interviewed about aliens , by using real interviews .\ndistrict 9 existed because it was an allegory directly connected to apartheid . and just for argument ' s sake , look at something like alien . alien exist as an freudian exploration into this psycho - sexual nightmare , and playing on those elements inside the human mind .\nwith district 9 , i plan on making another film in that world . to go back and work with weta , and make the film would be cool , but anything that preexists like that may not be the best fit for whatever we ' re trying here .\nwith district 9 , i plan on making another film in that world . to go back and work with weta , and make the film would be cool , but anything that pre - exists like that may not be the best fit for whatever we\u2019re trying here .\nreview : district 9 - a perspective from america it ' s very difficult not to have an opinion about district 9 so we thought we ' d write two , independently , from different sides of the globe . in this review we feature the perspective from a member of the audience for which the movie was created , america , although other nationalities are certainly welcome to read it and are encouraged to comment ( though they are also kindly asked to accept that the inadequacies of the film are an attempt to appeal to american audiences ) .\ntwo images of the giant image that was painted on a wall in the meat packing district near west 14th street , new york .\nwe are pleased to present the 2018 accolades award winners . they were honored at the district ii conference in national harbor , md .\nacademic magnet high school ( amhs ) and charleston county school district are proud to accept a $ 100 , 000 grant . . .\ni remember\u2026 stoning police vans ( only \u2013 our mothers travelled in buses ) , being beaten and thrown into jail for walking home from school \u2013 some other school\u2019s kids violently disrupted classes and we had no choice but to leave , teargas ; it\u2019s all in district 9 .\ngoldtooth creative produced several hologram shots for district 9 , farmed out to the newly formed studio by image engine . these included a shot of little christopher johnson looking at a hologram of his home planet system and the holograms and heads up displays shown inside the drop ship .\n\u201cwith district 9 , i plan on making another film in that world . to go back and work with weta , and make the film would be cool , but anything that pre - exists like that may not be the best fit for whatever we\u2019re trying here . \u201d\nfilmed almost entirely on a giant south african rubbish dump , district 9 spins human trash into extraterrestrial gold . charging through a three - day story arc with end - of - the - world intensity , its characters dare us to quibble over their unpronounceable names and unintelligible accents .\ni rewatched a bunch of district 9 recently after seeing elysium , and it actually seemed noticeably worse than i remember it being . the problem was mostly with the prawns and the battlemech at the end , they looked a lot more added - in than i remember them being .\non friday night detectives were examining a mass of cctv footage from the underground rail network , and from businesses around some district line stations .\nthe blu - ray disc and region 1 code widescreen edition of district 9 as well as the 2 - disc special edition version on dvd was released on december 22 , 2009 .

perhaps later ) except to say this is the essay on district 9 i\u2019ve been waiting for , and that it\u2019s well past 2 a . m . but i had to read the whole thing and the comments through . thank you .\nlloyd sixtyfive is a high - end development located in high - end district 9 , where it benefits from a quiet and peaceful area that is surrounded by a throng of convenience amenities , while being less than a 10 - minute walk from somerset mrt station and therefore , orchard road .\nperhaps because of mr . blomkamp\u2019s lack of directing experience and the film\u2019s budget , hollywood saw \u201cdistrict 9\u201d mostly as an also - ran , a little fan - boy picture that was overlooked as the pack focused on behemoths like \u201cg . i . joe : the rise of cobra . \u201d\nour heartfelt condolences goes to the family and all who have known this student ,\nthe school district said in a release on sunday .\ndistrict 9 is a sci - fi spectacle with a giant spaceship , stranded extraterrestrials and plenty of alien technology , but it\u2019s also an allegory about segregation . it\u2019s a subject director neill blomkamp ( pictured ) understands on a visceral level : he grew up in south africa during the apartheid era .\nsummer may be running on empty , but the sci - fi - themed trend at the box office shows no signs of abating . in fact ,\ndistrict 9\nmay be a case of saving the best for last - if\nbest\nis a measure of vision and ingenuity .\nas \u201cdistrict 9\u201d is prepared for a worldwide release mr . blomkamp said he was unsure how certain portions of the film would be received in the united states , particularly a sequence in which mr . copley\u2019s character is pursued by nigerian gangsters who want to cut off and eat his alien parts .\nthe humour makes a huge difference ; it gives district 9 a satiric edge that works a treat . it means we shouldn\u2019t take this too seriously , or see the apartheid echoes as more than backdrop . wickus himself is a very funny character , an ordinary doos trapped in circumstances beyond his ken .\nas the top post in this discussion pointed out , a lot of what helped them do the cgi in district 9 so cheaply were a number of stylistic choices meant to hide how cheap the cgi was . things like giving the aliens exoskeletons instead of soft skin and / or fur , shooting it shaky cam\ndocumentary style\nto add in motion blur , and many other tricks . basically , if you wanted all cgi heavy movies too look this good for this cheap , they would all have a similar look and feel as district 9 , and that could get very boring very quickly .\nfans have been asking for a district 9 sequel ever since the movie released , so it ' s a wonder why district 10 hasn ' t happened yet . the film was a tremendous success , both critically ( earning a 90 % score on rotten tomatoes and four academy award nominations , including best picture ) and financially ( grossing $ 210 . 8 million on an estimated $ 30 million budget ) . blomkamp has previously said he has every intention of making district 10 , though he has to find the right time to do it . his last movie , chappie , released in 2015 ; he is now working on developing the long - awaited alien 5 . perhaps after his alien sequel releases , he ' ll consider making district 10 .\nnigeria ' s government is asking cinemas to stop showing a science fiction film , district nine , that it says denigrates the country ' s image .\nthe director was quoted as saying \u2018with district 9 , i plan on making another film in that world . to go back and work with weta , and make the film would be cool , but anything that pre - exists like that may not be the best fit for whatever we\u2019re trying here . \u2019\nit is an honor to represent the residents of district 9 . i believe that our central broward community is at the beginning of a great renaissance . my vision for the future is to maintain and enhance the quality of life that attracts people to our community and supports a business friendly environment that encourages employers to bring jobs to the district while providing security and safety for our residents . the success of central broward regional park , the promise of the lauderhill performing arts center and the recent transformation of the cities within district 9 provides the nexus for economic development in the immediate future . in the long term , continued development of the sr - 441 corridor and re - development of our residential and business centers will move us forward in the future . more . . .\nurltoken not only streams the movie ' s trailer ( which has been viewed 21 million times since may 1 , another indicator of robust viewer interest ) but also serves as a primer to the self - contained world of\ndistrict 9 ,\ndetailing security guidelines for humans and\nnon - humans .\nthe nigerians live in district 9 with the prawns , and sell cat food to them ( the prawns are cat food addicts ) in exchange for weapons . in addition , the nigerians run a prostitution ring ( renting out their women for sex with the aliens ) and occasionally murder prawns to use for juju .\n\u201ci very purposefully wanted all of district 9 to feel as real as possible , even though , you know , 50 percent of the film is presented in a cinematic way , \u201d director neill blomkamp told urltoken in a video interview . \u201cthe environment is 110 percent real . it\u2019s pure , pure johannesburg . \u201d\ndistrict 9 \u2018s creative team then inserted the movie\u2019s giant cgi aliens into the live - action background , using creative camerawork to turn the movie into a persuasive piece of science fiction . a conscious decision not to put the special effects on a pedestal adds to the movie\u2019s gritty , realistic feel , blomkamp said .\ndespite initially appearing powerless , the nigerians exert a tremendous amount of power over the aliens by controlling their weapons and food supply . these power struggles are an everyday reality in district 9 ' s slums , emulating the country ' s real - life problems during the same period in which the film is set .\nalien nation thus provides an instructive counterpoint to district 9 . in the latter film , the alien - immigrants are a little further from human physiognomy ( especially , and importantly , when it comes to their faces ) and a lot further from sharing human desires . what is dramatized is not integration but its impossibility ."]}

fi ' s airing were more interesting than the movie itself .\nif there ' s a downside to search for vengeance it would be that the similarities to the original film are at times too strong . there ' s a wisecracking mentor , as in the original & # array ; there ' s an evil nemesis who was responsible for the death of our hero ' s beloved wife , as in the original & # array ; and there ' s even a scene of scotsmen driving an immortal out of the town because they think he ' s possessed by a demon , as in the original .\naccording to the great john mosby ,\na matter of time / the french connection are the watershed episodes for the raven , the moment where the series fully embraces its highlander heritage . . . in more ways than one .\n- fearful symmetry : the essential guide to all things highlander\nkevin and norman wanted to personally thank carmel macpherson , john mosby , the highlander celebrities and highlander fans for making this a once of a lifetime experience . so please enjoy this special episode of kevin and norman ' s fan interviews at the highlander worldwide gathering convention recently held in los california , october 20th -

they all pretend that highlander ii never happened . they all also have to retcon the ending of the first highlander as well , though , but that\u2019s a given . in fact , retconning the previous entry became a highlander tradition , as highlander iii retcons highlander ii , and in turn the highlander tv series retcons the whole lot . in fact the only thing that is constant about the franchise is that it continuously retcons itself . so the upcoming reboot is hardly anything new .\nconclusion : while the first 10 minutes were cringe - inducing , this ended up being pretty damn interesting ! i never watched the highlander sequels , but most people think this is better than everything but the original highlander movie .\nim no highlander fan , im just a geek . . . i ' ve never been interested in highlander as a franchise , . . . let ' s just get it on .\nalso , kevin and norman wanted to personally thank carmel macpherson , john mosby , and all of the highlander celebrities and highlander fans for making this a once of a lifetime experience . so please enjoy this special episode of kevin and norman ' s blood of kings exclusive celebrity interviews at the highlander worldwide gathering convention recently held in los california , october 20th - 22nd .\ndo you know what the really sad thing is ? highlander ii isn\u2019t actually the worst highlander film . not by a long way . but i\u2019ll tell you this , i might have bought the blu - ray for this , but i\u2019m not buying a blu -

minded in his search for marcus , it ' s telling that he doesn ' t want to kill anyone needlessly .\nhowever , not all went according to the general highlander fandom ' s expectations . all of the pieces were in place for this film to succeed where the sequels highlander 2 : the quickening ( and its subsequent versions ) and highlander 3 : the final dimension stumbled and many times failed to extend the legacy of what the first film achieved , cementing the epitaph\nthere can be only one . . . film !\n. with several mis - fires in the theatrical version , highlander endgame , could have changed the paradigm for the future . however , fan expectation for this film in particular was incredibly high and the internet was becoming a viable tool to share much of the fans concerns . . . especially where the\nrules of the game\n- a staple element of the highlander universe - were forcibly changed to usher in a\nwhole new ball game\nas one of the characters stated .\nthe 80s really wasn\u2019t the time of the movie franchise , especially with a decidedly quirky fantasy film like highlander , so really there was no need for a sequel . highlander was never going to sell toys , although admittedly that might be to do with the insane accents that would have made the talking dolls a difficult production job .\nplease join your co -

cracking ghost amergan in search of the immortal despot marcus octavius , who killed colin ' s lover on the celtic plains centuries earlier . the once great city of new york is now submerged under water , with only one dominant fortress towering over the sea , the fortress of marcus octavius . macleod is torn between saving the survivors of new york and hunting down his nemesis .\nyour blood of kings hosts , kevin and norman wanted to thank and show their appreciation for the time that f . braun mcash , james horan and david abramowitz gave them as they visited the blood of kings booth for interviews . f . braun , james and david each described their own experiences working on the highlander tv show , and their shared their thoughts on attending the highlander gathering convention .\nmethos fiddled with the dishes . \u201cit\u2019s always the price we pay for loving a mortal . \u201d\nover 60 episodes later - starting with the fpn highlander 30th anniversary commentary and the fandom flashback 5 part series , your blood of kings team worked incredibly hard to bring the highlander community - thoughtful and insightful commentary to all things highlander . please enjoy our year in review and stay tuned because as good as 2017 was for blood of kings . . . 2018 ' s season three is going to be even better !\n: unlike the movies and tv series , search for vengeance is able to show how strong and fast the immortals are as they age , gain more quickenings , and train without having the limits of a special effects budget . colin rips out a parking meter and throws it hundreds of feet into the air to destroy an outdoor television screen . both colin and marcus trade blows that resonate with superhuman power and both are able to move incredibly fast and leap great distances into the air to do combat . colin attacks many of his enemies with such blinding speed , you do not see the cuts . for all intents and purposes , colin is the immortal equivalent of a high - speed blender .\nfor this special cimoli ' s choice episode , the blood of kings team has made special arrangements with watcher ' s headquarters to bring in an expert in the subject for this week ' s podcast . with norm on this episode of blood of kings , is fellow highlander expert and the main editor for blood of kings . . . mike sellers .\nthis epic anime makes good use of the once groundbreaking highlander - style flashbacks ; the kind of cool interwoven character flashbacks that were later such an influence on tv shows from the silly ( like forever knight ) to the sublime ( like lost ) . at points in the story vengeance takes us to the clan wars on the highlands of scotland , to the glorious debaucheries of ancient rome , and to dogfights in the airspace over world war ii era england .\nall in all , highlander may be good for a single viewing to kill time , but it ' s not something to race to best buy and shell out twenty bucks for . at best this is a rental from blockbuster for a rainy night to kill time , but most likely there are better movies out there to watch . i ' ve heard the original highlander movie is very good - how about giving that a try ?\n[ picks up his katana ] god . . . please give me the strength . . . for them . . . for her . . . .\ndeceived that he had won the prize , connor macleod awakens from a peaceful life when an entombed immortal magician comes seeking the highlander .\nyour blood of kings highlander podcast co -

i really have to get ahold of the highlander dvds , they ' re not released in the uk for some reason . what i saw i liked . i wonder why its never repeated on tv as well .\ntom cruise has been linked with the sean connery mentor role in the new take on highlander . . . here ' s one from our never - saw - that - coming - dept . the planned reboot of the highlander movie series , that summit entertainment is working on , is targeting tom cruise for one of its leading roles . the wrap reports that cruise is being earmarked for the mentor role in the new highlander , the part that sean connery took on in the original film . one of cruise ' s representatives admitted that highlander is\none of many projects that come to him and he discusses\n, noting that the actor is\nfar from talks\n. furthermore , cruise has been\noffered tons of projects\n. which doesn ' t sound quite so promising . given that tom cruise is still taking on pretty much exclusively leading man roles - he ' s currently filming mission : impossible 5 with director christopher mcquarrie - it seems unlikely that the part in highlander is something that would appeal .\nas the gathering approaches , sit back and enjoy , as we dive deep in inside the character of the kurgan , and discuss what makes him one of the most feared immortals and formidable foes in the highlander universe .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .\nproducer h . galen walker said in an interview :\nthere ' s about seven or eight additional scenes in the japanese version that we cut out in the u . s . \u2014one , just for timing , and just for pace of story . that was the big issue . i ' m sure mr . kawajiri was really unhappy about the cut , but this was what the other producers thought was best for everybody .\nan opening exposition text - sequence , which is traditional for highlander films , was also added for the american version . walker said that kawajiri ' s original cut\nwill probably be out later this year ,\nin an interview conducted in june 2007 .\nin 3 weeks , on october 20th to the 22nd at the crowne plaza hotel outside of the los angeles airport\u2026a convention of epic proportions will be held to mark and celebrate the 25th anniversary of highlander : the television series .\nonce again , our beloved elizabeth gracen takes center stage as amanda , our favorite mischievous cat - burglar from highlander : the series . along with her intrepid co - star paul johansson as the relentless nick wolf , and in the very best of the highlander : the series ' traditions , they return to the city of paris and a location that is very near and dear to the hearts of highlander fans all over the world . also returning is the legendary valentine pelka in a completely new role as the charismatically evil\njames bond level\nof villain . . . andre korda .\nbut it wouldn ' t be a highlander interview unless we talk to elizabeth about her experience working on the original highlander tv series . norman and kevin discuses the episodes that amanda appeared in , and their favorites . elizabeth also talk about her favorite episodes and moments from the highlander tv series . and last but not least , we talk to elizabeth about the many projects she ' s currently working on including the documentary about lee meriwether , cat woman from the 1966 batman movie and former miss america in 1954 , the year of the first live telecast .\nboth kevin and norman wanted to personally thank both carmel and john for all of their very hard work and effort they put into the recent highlander worldwide tv show 25th anniversary convention . we are proud to welcome them back to blood of kings !\nthis episode of blood of kings is 100 % dedicated to this amazing thread and the passion that it stirred up amongst all of the blood of kings community of fans who prove to kevin and norm time and time again . . . that this is the absolute best highlander fanbase out there today ! ! ! thank you cleaver crawford for such an amazing topic for discussion .\ndespite the gift that colin had been given he chose to squander it on vengeance against marcus rather than make something of himself . over the centuries he has tracked the roman down only to be met with defeat time and time again . it was only sheer luck that allowed him to escape with his head attached but when he sees marcus ' image in nyc he naturally becomes incensed . as the druid persists , colin has a fetish for getting his ass kicked .\nninja scroll is considered something of a classic among anime fans , and the highlander franchise has been entertaining goobers since the 1980 ' s . so take the director of scroll and hand him a project to make a highlander movie with the insane animation talents of madhouse at his disposal , and you should get an instant classic , right ? right ?\nrarely do kevin and norm take the opportunity to discuss the highlander television series at such length and detail , but your blood of kings hosts wanted to take a very specific look at highlander season one with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective and weigh - in , per episode , on whether you should see it - or skip it ! this is part one of our review and we cover the seacouver first half of the season from the gathering to band of brothers ; the episode that changed everything in highlander season one .\nduende is an episode of highlander that is also extremely special because friend of the show anthony de longis created the indelible otavio consone ; an immortal who ' s morality was as complex as his fighting style of la verdadera destreza . anthony also introduced highlander fans to the beauty and the allure of the mysterious circle and a fighting philosophy that he introduced to many through this episode of television , for the very first time . please join us as we take an incredibly in - depth look at what is easily in the top 10 if not top 5 episodes of most highlander fans and discover a few new things about this beloved story .\nand i bought the us version ? fuck ! but it is pretty entertaining with some badass moments ! i ' ve never even seen any of the highlander films . . .\ni highly recommend watching spoonyone ' s excellent series on highlander . he covered every single film in the series ( apart from maybe the first one ) from the perspective of a mega - fan .\none of the things that kevin and norm love most about having created the blood of kings podcast , is the growth of the amazing highlander fan community on facebook and social media . listener and fan interaction is incredibly important to promoting new discussions in all aspects of the highlander universe . one bok fan in particular , lee fillingsness , won our very first itunes review contest and chose duende as his fan - pick to be covered in this very special\ntwo - parter\npodcast deconstructing one of the most famous episodes in highlander the series : duende .\ni liked the story and the new characters were pretty cool . it is a nice addition to the highlander mythos without stepping on the toes of the other movies and tv show . the battle between the two immortals as it stretches over time was really cool to see and the film flowed well . i ' m not a huge fan of the art style but it lent itself well to the feel of the story . i reccommend this one for fans of the series and even for the sci fi fans . you don ' t need to have seen the movies to get into this one .\nthe chateau lemartin has been in marina ' s family for generations , but now the slimy carlo capodimonte threatens to foreclose on an old loan and take the chateau for himself . desperate to save the family heritage , marina kidnaps an american millionaire in order to pay off the loan . unfortunately for marina , the rich and charming\nrichard redstone\nshe has tied up in the cellar is none other than richie ryan ."]}

ignore everything i just wrote , then .\nthe first two scary movies , written and directed by the wayans brothers , were r - rated , cheerfully raunchy , and cheekily politically incorrect parodies of popular movies , including scream and its sequels . scary movie 3 is rated pg - 13 and the wayanses have been replaced by david zucker , director of both wildly funny comedy classics ( ruthless people and airplane ! ) and painfully un - funny flops ( my boss ' s daughter ) . this movie is somewhere in the middle , not as good as the naked gun series but better than baseketball .\nas a critically acclaimed composer and music supervisor , frank fitzpatrick has created the soundtracks for over two dozen feature films ( scary movie 3 , queen of the damned , friday , in too deep , nuns on the run ) and scores and themes for several television shows including the renown larry sanders show . recent original works include scores for two . . .\nat one point , james woods was set to appear as his character , father mcfeely from scary movie 2 ( 2001 ) , but for some reason didn ' t and darrell hammond was cast instead .\nit\u2019s challenging to break this rule since , from a marketing perspective , it tells the customer in a heartbeat that it\u2019s a scary movie . here are some alternative approaches that stand out from the crowd :\nbasically , any movie that suffers from a lack of charlie sheen has got problems .\ncharlie sheen ' s first parody movie since\nhot shots ! part deux\n.\nlike a friday the 13th movie , if the teens kept killing themselves by accident .\nsuch a simple but really clever idea . as the third movie of the series , the title treatment had the famous metallic \u201cx\u201d with wolverine\u2019s claws on top to create the number 3 in roman numerals\u2014another title treatment worthy of a full teaser poster .\nwhen cindy and the rapper guy are fighting the ring girl , the president walks in and says ,\ni just want to wish you both good luck . we ' re all counting on you .\nand then he walks out . this is a joke from\nairplane\nwhere leslie nielsen is the doctor . he says the same line . the reason it is in the movie scary movie 3 is because the director of airplane also directed this .\nthe funniest sequence is a strenuous group effort to revive a corpse , first through some alarmingly aggressive artificial respiration , then through slapping and slamming the body until it breaks apart . a running subplot that ' ' scary movie 3 ' ' makes only a token attempt to integrate into the story involves a homicidal videotape that sentences everyone who watches it to death in seven days .\nthe challenge in movie poster design is to accomplish both : a title treatment that makes it easier for the public to understand what the movie is about without compromising your creativity .\nwhile star anna faris returns for the third film in the scary movie series , the power behind the camera has shifted from the wayans brothers to one of the zucker brothers . the zucker in question is david zucker , and he ' s brought along his partner in movie - parody crime , leslie nielsen . this time around , aim is taken at such horror blockbusters as signs and the ring , while films of other genres , including independence day , 8 mile , and the matrix , are also lampooned . the plot finds cindy ( faris ) trying to help the president ( nielsen ) thwart an alien attack while also facing crop circles and a mysterious video tape . in the spirit of the two matrix sequels , scary movie 3 was shot back - to - back with scary movie 4 . queen latifah , charlie sheen , and eddie griffin also star . ~ matthew tobey , rovi\nweak jokes , forced gags , and too - obvious humor in general add up to very little in \u201cscary movie 3 , \u201d the third film in the horror parody series . eagerly riffing on everything from the works of m . night shyamalan to \u201c8 mile , \u201d the film takes a wide approach to its comedy but results in something that produces only minor hints of enjoyment .\never since the first one was released in 2000 , the scary movie films have been labeled spoofs . reference films would be more accurate . sure , they occasionally send up a horror trope or two , but most of the\nspoofing\ndone in the franchise really involves re - creating scenes from other movies and then maybe adding a fart sound . they ' re less about mocking movies than lazily mentioning them . here ' s our best attempt at a comprehensive list of each movie referenced in the scary movie franchise .\ni can be short about ' scary movie 3 ' . if you liked the first two films , especially the first , there is a good chance you will like this one . it is directed by david zucker , one of the three directors of the great ' airplane ! ' , the film that sort of invented the genre , and it shows . here it spoofs films such as ' the ring ' , ' signs ' and ' the matrix ' and from time to time i thought it was really funny . but when i think something is funny doesn ' t mean anything with a film like this . ' scary movie 3 ' is a matter of taste . if you like ' the naked gun ' , ' hot shots ' and ' scary movie ' you like this one , if you hate them , you hate this one . the humor is silly and stupid , but in the right mood most people must be able to laugh . i know i did .\nthe wayans are back at it again with the third installment of the scary movie series . cindy is forced to confront the evil forces from the popular science fiction thriller signs and the horror movie the ring . hopefully , her long time friend , brenda , will be there to help out of this mess .\nscary movie 5 is a reprehensible excuse of a comedy and should barely be considered a film since it ' s of such poor quality . they don ' t make a dunce cap big enough for individuals this idiotic .\n' scary movie 3 ' offers yet more hit - and - miss comedy in the ' airplane / naked gun / hot shots ' vein of movie parody . as with the previous two films in the ' scary movie ' franchise , the writers of this film look towards recent popular horror movies to serve as the basis for both their jokes and their storyline . in this case , the plot is a cross between ' the ring ' and ' signs , ' with a few glancing blows aimed at ' the others , ' ' the sixth sense , ' and , of all things , ' 8 mile , ' along the way . charlie sheen and leslie nielson are probably the most recognizable faces in the movie , both being veterans of earlier ' airplane , ' ' naked gun ' and ' hot shots ' films . as with most films of this type , some of the jokes in ' scary movie 3 ' work and some do not , but those that do are often quite ingenious and make the movie as a whole worth seeing . the crudity that marred the previous films in the franchise has been almost completely eliminated here . some people may find that a loss while others may find it a gain . frankly , i prefer the gentler , more innocent tone in this edition . ' scary movie 3 ' isn ' t any great shakes as a comedy , and chances are you won ' t remember a thing about it even five minutes after you ' ve seen it , but it will make you laugh quite a bit for the 80 or so minutes that you ' re watching it . and what more can one ask from a comedy than that ?\nthe angry video game nerd : ghostbusters : conclusion ( 2007 ) ( tv episode ) the nerd mentions the film series to prove his point that ghostbusters 3 should be made .\ni was dissapointed that a lot of stuff they showed on the commercials for this movie weren ' t even in the movie . the matrix stuff especially . i liked most of the deleted / alternative scenes better then what they left in the movie . thanks for the responses by the way = )\nthis was charlie sheen ' s first parody movie since hot shots ! part deux ( 1993 ) .\nfor many people , halloween means one thing and one thing only : horror movies . the scarier the better . but not everyone likes scary movies . in fact , a lot of people hate them . but with most of your friends wanting to watch horror movies around halloween , it can sometimes be tough to avoid seeing something you ' d rather not . so if you ' re going to get roped into watching a scary movie , it ' s always important to remember to tell yourself that it ' s only a movie . and one of the best ways to do this is to familiarize yourself with parodies of horror films . thankfully , there are a bunch of scary movie parodies on netflix you can watch right now .\nzucker , who ' s already experienced in making funny parody films such as ' airplane ' and ' naked gun ' , directs the third installment this time . thankfully the wayans brothers aren ' t in it to get on my nerves . ' scary movie 3 ' is a lot more enjoyable than its prequels . this one is not overloaded with vulgarity , sleaziness and toilet humour like the other two . zucker actually manages to bring some class in this third film and there is quite a convincing plot that smartly combines verbinski ' s ' the ring ' and shyamalam ' s ' signs ' . my only complaint is that it ' s not funny enough . there were several sequences that could have been better done . yet , the cast make it quite enjoyable . leslie nielsen is funny as the president but he does go a little too over the top at times . anne faris is back as cindy , this time she adds some naomi watts to her character and does a commendable job . charlie sheen provides some laugh out loud moments , particularly in the scene with his wife denise richards . ' scary movie 3 ' is a much more enjoyable fair than the first two movies . this time i laughed at many of the scenes rather than feel sick ( which was the case with ' scary movie 1 ' and ' scary movie 2 ' ) .\nokja is not a horror film , but it ' s not for kids , either . it ' s a hard film to classify , in that it ' s a monster movie where the monster is probably the least scary thing about it .\nwarning : calling the following piece an\nidiot ' s guide\nis a bit of a misnomer . you may or may not be aware of what happens in the\nscary movie\nmovies , but there ' s no way you will emerge from reading this a smarter person overall . i just watched all four\nscary movie\nmovies consecutively and my brain is currently curled up in a ball shivering in a far corner of my skull , asking what it did to deserve that .\nscary movie 4\nbegins with shaq and dr . phil are chained together ,\nsaw\n- style . they both die . the nation mourns for shaq only , probably . * ( * deleted scene , i ' d imagine . )\ni\u2019m a big fan of custom type , and this movie poster design offers a perfect example . you usually see \u201cyou\u2019re next\u201d or something equally threatening written on walls and mirrors in horror films . this movie poster design brings us closer to the movie\u2019s atmosphere by mirroring this horror trope with lettering scratched into a metal surface .\nrobot chicken : they took my thumbs ( 2008 ) ( tv episode ) a character mentions this movie .\nedici\u00f3n especial coleccionista : superhero movie ( 2010 ) ( tv episode ) compared with friedberg / seltzer movies .\nfamilies can talk about parody and satire . does this movie do a good job of lampooning its subjects ?\ni disappointing installment , after 2 hilarious movies , we get an unfunny attempt at a 3rd installment ! i giggled like 2 - 3 times , but never laughed out loud ! y . . . continue reading\nconsider the material about\n8 mile .\neminem is talented and i liked his movie , but he provides a target that\nscary movie 3\nmisses by a mile . his eminem clone is played by simon rex , whose material essentially consists of repeating what eminem did in the original movie , at a lower level . he throws up in the john ( on somebody else , ho , ho ) , he duels onstage with a black rapper , he preempts criticism by attacking himself as white , he pulls up the hood on his sweatshirt and it ' s shaped like a ku klux klan hood , and so on . this is parody , not satire , and no points against eminem are scored .\nscary movie 3\nis rated pg - 13 for crude humor and sight gags about ( and references to ) sexual and other bodily functions , slapstick violence ( gunplay , brawling and groin shots ) , occasional use of strong profanity ( including one usage of the so - called\nr - rated\ncurse word ) , brief drug content ( opium and marijuana ) , brief sexual content , use of racial epithets , and brief partial male nudity . running time : 85 minutes .\neven stephen king - the man responsible for the iconic horror novel it - was scared by the new movie adaptation .\n* mama : a surprising amount from this movie , which came out in january , shows up in scary movie 5 . there are the feral little girls , their punk - rock caretaker , and the presence of the ominous\nmama .\nthe whole climax is based on mama , with judy fighting the ghostly matriarch of the creepy kid clan as she tries to throw them off a cliff .\n( at around 1h 11 mins ) the first of two scary movies to parody a slasher film remake , as it does with the cindy and tabitha confrontation parodies the texas chain saw massacre ( 1974 ) remake of 2003 ( the texas chainsaw massacre ( 2003 ) ) , and scary movie 5 ( 2013 ) with the jody and kendra cabin sequence parodies the the evil dead ( 1981 ) remake of 2013 ( evil dead ( 2013 ) ) .\nscary movie 3 is such a stinkfest its hard to put it in words . it makes movies like malibu ' s most wanted look like oscar material , lets just say that . the original scary movie was great fun , one of the better 90s spoof movies , coming from a great team who previously rocked our world with dont be a menace to south central whilst drinking your juice in the hood . but what the hell happened ? ! after the tragedy that was scary movie 2 , i thought the cast and crew change would help matters , but its even worse . within 20mins i ' d smiled twice . not one laugh , the jokes were recycled and originality was obviously no factor . the fact that at this point in writing , the majority of people on this site have voted it 10 / 10 has made me feel physically ill . when there ' s great flicks like school of rock out , which actually have jokes that are * gasp * funny , anyone wasting their money on tripe like this needs their head examined . no stars / * * * *\nthe funniest spoof since the naked gun , scary movie 3 sends up the ring , 8 mile and several other hits superbly , it ' s the funniest in the whole franchise and remains one of the funniest comedies i ' ve seen , and that ' s rare to say about a spoof . the pop culture references are hilarious , and of course there just had to be a michael jackson appearance , it ' s scary movie , what else do you expect ? the performances are suitably naff and funny , anna faris is hysterical as cindy , a news reporter who stumbles across a killer video tape . regina hall is as funny as faris as a foul mouthed best friend who falls victim to the girl from the ring . with slapstick galore and a lot of stupid behaviour , best seen from simon rex and charlie sheen , this third entry makes the first two look tame in comparison . a laugh a minute movie !\nthe third film in a trilogy is often considered to be the worst , so considering how lousy the first two scary movies were , i wasn ' t getting my hopes up too high for scary movie 3 . sure enough , part three proved to be a thoroughly woeful effort , completely devoid of laughs despite being directed by one of the ' big names ' in the spoof genre , david zucker . although zucker might have seemed an obvious choice to inject some real belly laughs into the scary movie franchise , without the help of co - director jim abrahams , with whom he created box office hits airplane and the naked gun , the poor guy is clearly way out of his depth . the first two films barely managed a handful of decent giggles between them , but this one is a 100 % mirth - free zone ; i sat stony - faced the whole way through as zucker and his cast of washed - up has - beens ( including charlie sheen , pamela anderson , and leslie nielsen ) went through the spoof - movie motions , delivering every tired trick in their predictable repertoire of slapstick and ' crazy ' visual gags . and as if the total absence of genuine humour wasn ' t bad enough , the series ' appealing brunette star anna faris had become a blonde ! ( raises arms to the sky and screams ' noooooooo ! ! ! ! ) . i give scary movie 3 a rating of 2 / 10 ( in all honesty , it should really be a 1 / 10 , but i want to leave myself room to give an even lower rating to part 4 should it be worse ) .\nhe plays a chained - up zombie with writing partner edgar wright in george a . romero ' s zombie apocalypse movie .\nempire ( 2002 ) rapped a lyric about him being killed in the movie ' empire ' during the rap battle scene .\ncowell ' s penchant for high - waisted trousers and showing off his plentiful chest hair is pretty scary , but even they are nowhere near as horrifying as this cameo .\nof all the hollywood hotshots parodied by ' ' scary movie 3 , ' ' which opens today nationwide , the one who should be the most afraid ( and flattered , of course ) is that box - office shaman , m . night shyamalan , whose movies , especially ' ' signs ' ' and ' ' the sixth sense , ' ' are roasted to a charred crisp . the movie that spends the longest time on the rotisserie is ' ' signs , ' ' with its crop circles , cornfield and aliens . here , the aliens greet one another with a choke hold , say goodbye with a kick to the groin and urinate from their fingertips .\nget your swag on with discounted movies to stream at home , exclusive movie gear , access to advanced screenings and discounts galore .\nbasketball legend patrick ewing clearly confused shooting hoops with shooting a movie when he agreed to appear in this threequel to the exorcist .\naustin powers himself briefly plays military man general ed fenech in tarantino ' s gory world war ii movie , starring brad pitt .\nroving reporter cindy campbell ( anna faris ) sets out to find a hard news story in the middle of television sweeps . she soon uncovers an outrageous onslaught of globe - threatening developments including alien invaders , killer videotapes , freaky crop circles , prophecies of the one , eerie - eyed children , ambitious white rappers and even a run - in with michael jackson . faced with conspiracies of massive proportions , and a crew of very strange people following her around , cindy must fight to stop evil from taking over the world yet again - all while sparing no plot line from scary movie 3 ' s assault of fast - flying twists that blow the lid off the original movie scenes .\n* the ring : this is the movie\u2019s main target . katy ( jenny mccarthy ) and becka ( pamela anderson ) first mention it before getting into a pillow fight . for the rest of the movie cindy tries to solve the mystery of the scary girl in the video , which kills brenda , is shown on the evening news , and eventually brings a bunch of aliens to earth so they can kill the girl in the video themselves .\nthe ebert club is our hand - picked selection of content for ebert fans . you will receive a weekly newsletter full of movie - related tidbits , articles , trailers , even the occasional streamable movie . club members also get access to our members - only section on urltoken\nscary movie 5 - this may be one of the worst spoof movies i have ever seen ! it takes everything that was ever good or just decent about the other\nscary movie\nfilms and breaks the back of the franchise . it is dead dead dead . hardly a laugh comes from this film at all . i will say that it is more clever than the hideous\n30 nights of paranormal activity with the devil inside the girl with the dragon tattoo\nthat came out earlier this year and attempted to make you laugh . i ' ve seen worse films , but this is one of the worst this year by far . it ' s unfunny , crude , rude , and completely ridiculous .\nscary movie 5\nis not quite as bad as i think the second film is , but there is nothing good about this film besides a few gags here and there that made me chuckle and save me from killing myself out of boredom . this is a terrible film !\nget your swag on with discounted movies to stream at home , exclusive movie gear , access to advanced screenings and discounts galore . learn more\ncommon sense , common sense media , common sense education , and common sense kids action , associated names , associated trademarks , and logos are trademarks of common sense media , a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) nonprofit organization ( fein 41 - 2024986 ) .\nscary movie 3 is a hilarious film and is a good comedy , but the problem is that it just feels that now they are trying a little too hard to be stupid . the storyline is funny , and a great spoof . the cast is ok , the little boy and charlie sheen were hilarious , but anna farris is getting old . the jokes are great , but when i laughed i felt kind of stupid for laughing , is that wrong ?

are we all without minds in this world ? this movie is a complete ripoff of scream ( which it parodies ) , and all other of the newer 90 ' s style horror movies . hollywood must really be hurting for ideas if a movie this terrible could actually be made . if you want to laugh , watch one of mel brooks ' parodies , or the monty python films , or even the pink panther movies . these are true comedies . this is just a sick and twisted , incoherent movie with absolutely nothing funny in it . now excuse me while i go and dust off my copy of beverly hills cop , and watch a real entertaining , funny movie . 1 / 2 star 1 - 17 - 01 ( updated )\nwhile mildly amusing at times , the rest of scary movie 2 never lives up to the gross out promise of that initial scene . the main core of the cast from scary movie reprise their roles\u2014cindy ( anna faris , who has made a career out of these films ) , shorty and ray ( marlon and shawn wayans , because what the hell else were they going to do ?

i used to be under the impression that the troops offered in the event chest are all from the same kingdom as the featured character . i learned that\u2019s not true last week .\nin 2008 shochiku produced an official female spin - off film from zatoichi called ichi which is about a blind swordswoman who is looking for zatoichi . it was all right but there is something a little more entertaining about the crimson bat series . maybe it\u2019s the lower budget , the \u201970s music and the gratuitous blood but it\u2019s an entertaining time killer .\nthe other critics are off base comparing crimson bat to zatoichi . they are different films with different tones , delivering different messages . zatoichi is highly dramatic and incorporates zen bushido . judged on it ' s own merits , crimson bat is a less preachy action flick with a female lead who kicks butt . it has a seventies feel due to its music , sound effects , and color schemes . i enjoy the use of dramatic lighting of black and white noir film applied to color . you get a sword fight in every town and on every road as oichi rights injustice and avoids bounty hunters . more akin to television westerns , it has better production value than bruce lee films and is simply entertaining .\njust a reminder to all of the ones that recently joined and doesnt know everything about the game yet , as well as the less active players . one of the greatest legendaries is now in the event chest , the crimson bat . he has just been buffed to gain + 8 more life on each cast , now getting totally + 16 life for each cast , and is among the best true damage troops in the game .\nit\u2019s still one of the 4 cards i don\u2019t own . the silent one , gaar\u2019nok ( i think i spelled it right ) , psion and that bat . i won\u2019t get desperate i got a very first gorgotha two days ago in a glory chest .\nthe crimson bat is a series of four movies based around the character of the same name . the character was a blind swordswoman . it was made by shochiku studios , as a response to the hugely successful zatoichi series . the character , oichi , was very similar to the zatoichi character , that is she was a blind sword fighter who roamed and did odd jobs for money . the main difference , apart from being a female , was that her weakness was a stereotyped female tendency to be emotional . ironically , an official female variation of zatoichi was released decades later , and entitled ichi .\nthe action is decent too , with matsuyama definitely operating a step above her first outing ; although these aren\u2019t usually so much fights , more the swift dispatch of one or more opponents , that\u2019s par for the chambara genre . matsuka is somewhat of an enigma as a character \u2013 it\u2019s hard to see why oichi falls for him , and the whole \u201corphan\u201d plotline is not well handled . in particular , it\u2019s lacking any kind of background , to the extent it feels like an entire film was missing . the rest of the story though , is well - crafted and packs a solid wallop ; you could certainly argue that this is the best flight of the crimson bat .\nofficially , the four crimson bat movies were adaptations of teruo tanashita ' s mekura no oichi manga . but you ' d have to be blind yourself not to see that this was shochiku ' s barely disguised attempt at doing their own zatoichi character . if they never quite managed to reach the same levels of success as daiei did with their blind masseur , shochiku at least had the prettier one of the blind protagonists . yoko matsuyama , wife of mangaka tanashita , stars as oichi \u2013 the orphaned woman who is blinded as young and later rescued , taken in and taught the way of the sword by a wandering samurai . as is often the case in these movies , oichi is wandering the land in search of vengeance ( on\u2026\nhey , sure thing that bat is an awesome troop , but if it isn\u2019t dropping randomly from pure luck , there\u2019s no point for a new - ish player to try to get him via event chests . but if you have hundreds or thousands of gems , hell yes , you will get him , even raise him to mythic .\nthat swordswoman is oichi , supposedly based on an animated story and character by teruo tanashita \u2013 but , really , who are they trying to kid ? this was simply the shochiku\u2019s studio\u2019s answer to daiei\u2019s zatoichi , and any protestations to the contrary should be treated with deep scepticism . both hero and heroine are blind , yet have no problem fighting for truth , justice and the amer\u2026japanese way , as they wander through the traditional chambara landscape . [ indeed , in the first film , a blind masseuse wobbles drunkenly through one scene , in what can only be a casual potshot at zatoichi ] original thought is not something to look for in the crimson bat series , even ardent fans will admit . however , shochiku did strike gold in yuko matsuyama ; albeit they didn\u2019t have to look very far to find her , since she was married to character creator tanashita . i get the feeling shochiku didn\u2019t exactly over - exert themselves in a star search .\nthere are now eleven final clubs : a . d . , bat , delphic , d . u . , fly , fox , iroquois , owl , phoenix s . k . , porcellian , and spee . with the exception of the bat , each club has its own building and serves daily meals . the club sponsors a few parties and dances ; it provides a library , club room , bar , and pool tables for its members . beyond this , the final club does little . the contrast with the nation ' s fraternities is evident : the clubs have no athletic teams . they enter no candidate in local beauty contests . for the most part , they permit no women in the club houses . but most important , the spirit of a harvard club is entirely different from a fraternity or even from its counterparts in the ivy league . the clubs depend on a quiet acceptance in the college for removed from\nhell weeks\nand tap days . final clubs , like those oft - lampooned organizations for london or new york businessmen , have no reason for existing . and they seek no purpose . they have sprung up over the years for the enjoyment or convenience of their members and as long as they continue to attract men , they will continue .\nshe\u2019s no luckier with her foster parent , who is murdered by a former associate , devil denzou ( amatsu ) ; she is saved from the same fate by a wandering samurai . he sees her potential and trains her in the way of the sword , to the point where she has surpassed him . but she mentions the m - word \u2013 \u201cmarriage\u201d \u2013 and he , too , exits like a , er , bat out of hell . on subsequent travels , she uses her skills to save yet another man from being lynched , and eventually , all these disparate plot threads join up , more or less . though others , such as the woman with a killer yo - yo [ gogo yubari\u2019s ancestor ? ] just kinda drift out of the plot .\nput on your bat - suits and rejoice , for today ( july 23 ) is national batman day ! as part of the caped crusader\u2019s 75th anniversary , dc comics is celebrating with comic giveaways and movie showings around the country . the festivities continue tomorrow when comic - book fans from all over descend on san diego to partake in the annual and highly popular comic - con . in honor of these comic festivities , we ' re celebrating the best in superhero - inspired music , from eminem ' s self - indulgent\nsuperman\nto queen ' s energized\nflash\ntheme song . there are quite a few songs for batman and the man of steel , plus a little something for each of dc and marvel ' s winged , masked and caped crusaders .\nwhile the samurai is one of the most common archetypes in japanese cinema , the female version is about as rare as the female gunslinger . although none of these women reached anything like the popularity of zatoichi \u2013 26 films starring shintaro katsu alone , never mind the recent takeshi kitano version \u2013 there have been a few that have attempted to break the mould . azumi and the princess blade have both achieved cult status in the west , assisted by tarantino\u2019s take in kill bill , volume 1 . back in 1973 , there was lady snowblood , which was successful enough to merit a sequel the following year , but so far , only one samurai - ess series has survived more than two outings .\nproper english - language distribution . however , we don\u2019t let things like that stop us . : - ) while dubbed versions of all four films in the saga are available on the grey market , the bootleg prints seem to have dutch , or occasionally greek , subtitles . this lends the whole thing a certain surreal air , though as dubs go , they aren\u2019t bad \u2013 an opinion no doubt assisted by the characters , who generally prefer to let their actions speak louder than their words . and since even\n[ august 2005 , bill f writes : \u201cyou may be interested to learn that after the last film it was turned into a television series . the film series was produced by shochiku . the tv series was produced by toei . like the films , the tv series starred yuko matsuyama . the tv series also starred hiroshi fujioka and it ran for 25 episodes ( 4 / 12 / 71 \u2013 9 / 27 / 71 ) . \u201d ]\nwe meet our heroine oichi as a young child , who has just been being abandoned by her mother \u2013 not sure what happened to father , but we later discover mom\u2019s a prostitute , so can probably fill in the blanks ourselves . to make matters worse , the tree under which oichi takes shelter from a storm is struck by lightning , rendering her totally blind , in a way that\u2019s \u2013 probably wisely \u2013 left medically unexplained . however , she is then taken in by a kind gentleman , who brings her up , and on into adulthood .\nthe film is at its best when there is the threat of violence ; much like sergio leone , the lead - up lasts much longer than the actual acts , with the director ratcheting up the tension . for example , there\u2019s one scene where oichi visits a gambling parlour to raise money , and from the moment she sits down , you\nit\u2019s just a matter of time before her sword comes out of its red sheath ( which presumably is the origin of her name \u2013 that , and the copious blood that tends to get sprayed when she\u2019s around ) . there\u2019s also a nice visual sense at work throughout here , particularly in lighting , which enhances proceedings nicely .\nand , being honest , the actual drama needs all the help it can get , since it seems limp in comparison , though allowance should likely be made for the dubbing . that , however , can\u2019t explain the bouncing back and forth in time , which may induce temporal nausea in susceptible viewers ; it feels as if the finished film got tossed in the air and is shown in the order it hit the ground . and while there\u2019s a decent \u201cah - hah ! \u201d when everything ties up , this isn\u2019t enough to justify the lengthy set - up . fewer plot threads , explored in depth , would be a major improvement .\ndir : matsuda teiki star : yoko matsuyama , isamu nagato , jun tatara , satoshi amatsu a . k . a . mekura no oichi monogatari : makkana nagaredoni\n, seems quite content with her life as a bounty - huntress . she has even adopted an orphan , just as she herself was taken in herself , but two things wreck this relatively happy situation . she discovers her protege is really a runaway , not an orphan , and consequently has to abandon her \u2013 again , as she was discarded . worse yet , she incurs the wrath of fellow bounty - huntress oen ( matsuoka ) , a kitten with a whip\npockets full of venomous snakes , who leaves oichi for dead . luckily , she is nursed back to health by matsuka ( irikawa ) , a farmer who doesn\u2019t care about her shady past , and oichi discovers the joys of a simpler existence \u2013 specifically , one not involving the slaughter of criminals for cash . of course , the inevitable eventually happens : local thug bunzo ( abe ) starts taking the locals\u2019 rice stocks , with oen closely in tow . no prizes for guessing that the quiet life isn\u2019t going to last long , especially after matsuka is manipulated by oen into owing a gambling debt to bunzo .\nthis is a fine movie , with matusoka in particular a grand foil for the heroine , her hair covering one half of her face like a veil , and the other half usually displaying a near - psychotic expression . oichi\u2019s struggles to leave her past behind feel almost like shakespearean tragedy , and the final shots of the film , while a sudden way to end , hint strongly at an endless , futile struggle . to paraphrase george orwell , if you want a picture of the future , imagine a samurai sword slicing up an opponent\u2026forever . downbeat ? hell , yes . wouldn\u2019t have it any other way .\ndir : matsuda teiki stars : yoko matsuyama , yasunori irikawa , kikko matsuoka , toru abe a . k . a . mekura no oichi monogatari : jigoku hada\nthe third entry in the series saw a new director , and unfortunately , a marked turn for the worse , largely because the focus drifts off oichi . it starts briskly enough , with the heroine coming into possession of a new , effective formula for gunpowder , something barely known at the time in japan . understandably , this makes her the focus of attention , in particular for a group with an interest in profiting from the discovery .\nhands . moral doubts aside , the main flaw is the introduction of characters such as gennosuke ( ibuku ) and , worse still , an immensely irritating pair of teenage orphans . together , they succeed in making oichi feel like a supporting character in her own movie , and she is almost entirely absent from action in the middle portion .\nby the time she rides to the rescue\u2026yes , i said \u201crides\u201d , her previously unmentioned equestrian skills being hand - waved away with \u201cthe horse knows where it\u2019s going\u201d\u2026the film is pretty much dead in the water . the final battle does mark another step up in scale , with matsuyama\u2019s skills again clearly improved , and the quantity of enemies dispatched again setting a high - water mark , even if gennosuke gets to take out almost as many as oichi , and the way in which the villainous henchman suddenly switches sides is laughable . in marked contrast to its two predecessors , this does have a proper ending , tying up the loose threads in a satisfying , if conventional , way . it isn\u2019t enough to rescue the day , with interest having succumbed at a disturbingly early point .\nin its incarnation as samurai woman ( left ) , i believe this was the only installment to see a release in the uk . when first seen , over a decade ago , it was unimpressive , and it remains weak , particularly when viewed from an action heroine perspective . but even in general terms , it\u2019s a poor piece of cinematic storytelling .\ndir : hirokazu ichimura stars : yoko matsuyama , goro ibuki , kiyoko inoue , asahi kurizuka a . k . a . mekura no oichi monogatari : midare gasa\ndirector ichimura returned for the fourth episode , and despite similar problems as the third installment \u2013 most obviously , an apparent doubt that oichi\u2019s character can hold the viewer\u2019s interest by herself \u2013 makes a much better stab at things here . bounty - hunter oichi finds out what life is like on the other side of the law , after she helps rescue an unwilling bride from a local magistrate ; he slaps a 100 gold - piece reward on her head , which naturally , brings other bounty - hunters on her trail , led by sankuro ( meguro ) .\nshe ends up in a fishing village , where the \u201cevil property developer\u201d subplot makes a surprising appearance , despite the historical era . the reconstruction of the harbour threatens to put the locals out of work , but a plot is afoot among the local authorities to pay them only one gold piece each in compensation , rather than the 15 gold pieces actually provided by the federal government . residents , officials , bounty - hunters and oichi all inevitably collide , including one character played by tetsuro tamba , who remains even now one of the most respected ( and prolific \u2013 the imdb lists 193 films for him ! ) actors in japanese cinema .\nthere\u2019s a lot of devious double - crossing and deception here , which is okay to watch , but isn\u2019t really the reason we watch these things . and that it also turns out to be sankuro\u2019s birthplace is too much of a fluke to swallow . fortunately , it all builds nicely to an extended finale , where our heroine ( now also framed for the murder of a village elder ) gets a chance to take out her aggression and resentment on all those who have turned her life into that of a hunted animal . it\u2019s a great urban battle , through the town which is being demolished around her , in and out of buildings until she finally confronts the chief villain of the piece .\nthough this was the last entry in the series , there isn\u2019t much sense of closure at the end , with ( and i trust i\u2019m not really spoiling this for anyone ) oichi merely walking off into the sunset , alone again , naturally . one senses shochiku were hoping to continue , but for whatever reason \u2013 most likely box - office success , or rather , the lack thereof \u2013 it never materialised . however , for a series from the 60\u2019s , it was undeniably ahead of its time , and most of the films have survived the passage of three and a half decades in an impressive style . if any enterprising dvd company were to snap them up , the rewards would likely be significant .\ndir : hirokazu ichimura stars : yoko matsuyama , yuki meguro , tetsuro tanaba , reiko oshida a . k . a . mekura no oichi monogatari : inochi moraimasu\ncontact us -

to - last feature ( how old was he ? he made his first movie before the great depression ) . the\u2026\nthe obvious influence here is zatoichi yet i can ' t help but think that this screen adaptation of a popular manga , the first of four films , is also shochiku ' s answer to the red peony gambler series . i mean , even the music at the end is similar . overall it ' s pretty good but certainly uneven , suffering toward the end . the first 45 minutes or so are very good , quite artfully done , building the story whilst filling in our characters ' backstories through a series of flashbacks that are quite deftly woven into the film , courtesy of director sadatsugu matsuda . he incorporates a lot of cool studio effects that i would more readily associate with nikkatsu films , as well as some clever editing .\nsince my early childhood i ' m totally in love with martial arts in movies & television . a little bit more the american\u2026\nwe promise to never spam you , and just use your email address to identify you as a valid customer .\nthis product hasn ' t received any reviews yet . be the first to review this product !\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 / / en\nurltoken\nyoko matsuyama , already well known to the japanese public in the 60s due to her leading tv role in seven faces of princess koto ( kotohime shichi henge ) , here takes to the big screen as the eponymous sightless swordswoman -

grandfather belonged to and the one his friends have picked , the rest of the college sleeps or goes to class , oblivious and wholly unconcerned with clubs , club activities , or club membership .\nwhile it is perhaps fitting that indifference should be the general attitude of the harvard undergraduate to the final club , such was not always the case . the history of the club system , through secret phases and periods of national affiliation , is now a completed cycle . and the position of the clubs , from a pre - eminent place in the college to a membership of 10 per cent of the undergraduates , reflects , if sometimes inversely , the growth of harvard as a national institution .\nthe attraction of the club when the system first began is easy to understand . the porcellian club , legend has it , began when a man in hollis hall found a suckling pig in his room . he hid the animal in a window seat until evening and then invited a few friends in to roast the pig . the evening was so pleasant that they determined to meet alternate friday evenings for fellowship and supper . they first called themselves\nthe argonauts ,\nbut when roast pig turned up month after month on the menu , the group came to be known as the\npig club .\nfrom 1879 , with the entrance of the first pig , to 1794 the club gained in prestige . finally , under joseph mckean , grand marshall of the club and founder of the organization as it is today , the members adopted the more gentlemanly name of\nporcellian .\nwith its early beginning and 164 years of tradition , porcellian has always represented the final club to the non - clubbed world . begun in an era when cambridge was small , isolated , and arid in entertainment , the club provided a necessary social break in the scholastic routine . the porcellian ' s motto dum vivimus vivamus was typical of the early attitude of the members - - no lofty mission , no serious purpose , just jovial pleasantry .\nthough porcellian frankly admitted its lack of direction , other clubs springing up in this period often claimed loftier motives . the hasty pudding club , formed in 1795 , purported to\ncherish the feelings of friendship and patriotism .\nto serve the latter purpose , the club celebrated washington ' s birthday for many years with a program of orations , patriotic songs and speeches . under the first constitution of the club ,\ntwo members , in alphabetical order , shall provide a pot of hasty - pudding for every meeting ,\nand from this , the name .\na rival to the pudding was the institute of 1770 , an organization devoted chiefly to oratory . the club was also dubbed\nthe speaking club ,\nbut since the group wished to keep its nature secret to non - members , the name was dropped . during the first half of the nineteenth century , clubs arose , grew , and merged . the hermetic society and the i . o . h . joined the institute , the latter bringing with it an extensive library . both the serious and the social groups had begun collecting books , filling in the chinks in college libraries .\nit was in this period that the clubs began to change in character . the pudding gave up much of its attempt at a scholarly tone and porcellian members began to consider the background of its candidates as well as their wit or agreeable character . this was the beginning of a welter of greek - letter fraternities . phi beta kappa had been the first in 1776 , but when other fraternities appeared they followed the lead of the established local clubs and emphasized the social over the intellectual .\nsince undergraduates were scattered throughout boarding houses and memorial hall was never a popular dining hall , clubs went far in focusing student activity and providing meals in congenial surroundings . as the practical value of a club to its member increased , prestige in belonging to one grew also . the size of the college was doubling every thirty years from 1860 to 1920 , and while there still were many clubs , selectivity had become the keynote in electing members .\nwhen theodore roosevelt was discussing the marriage of his daughter to nicholas longworth , he confided boastfully to a perplexed kaiser wilhelm that he and nick had both belonged to the porc . at that time , roosevelt was not alone in considering membership an important qualification for a son - in - law . boston mothers , on the prowl for young gentlemen eligible for debutante dances , turned to the clubs to provide them . and the institute of 1770 even had ranking within itself : the first seventy or eighty elected to it from each class were termed dickeys , from the name of a secret society d . k . e . for those undergraduates with the correct background it was all - important that they be elected to the dickey - - it meant certain social success in college and afterward . and even in 1926 when the pudding and the institute merged , the club sent out a list of members , in the order which they had been elected . this ranking was published in boston and new york papers and served as a convenient method for plucking the near from the eligible .\nin later years , the dickey has disappeared . hasty pudding remains as a common ground for all clubs with a membership of over 600 . members are chosen from a list of candidates put up by friends in the club and passed on by the 11 presidents of the final clubs . hasty pudding also serves meals but is chiefly popular for its extensive , reasonable - priced bar ; and leo , one of the last of the irish tenor barmen . since many of the final clubs do not permit women guests , the hasty pudding also gives dances throughout the football season .\nthe hasty pudding ,\nsays one member ,\nhas no particular social barrier - - the only consideration is more or less if you ' re a nice guy .\nin this respect the hasty pudding differs much from the society as it existed in the 1890 ' s , and indeed from the final club in most eras . it was in the ' 90s that nation - wide fraternities were losing their grip on college chapters . the local groups wanted more independence ; the national organization , more control . throughout the 1890s ' clubs were detaching themselves from the fraternity system . porcellian and a . d . , which had broken off from the harvard chapter of alpha delta phi , were joined by other final clubs . another fraternity effort to refound alpha delta phi terminated in the phli and finally the fly club .\nwith both the iconic and the new , these eight local boston and cambridge - area establishments have come to define the harvard experience for students both old and new .\nventure university aims to curate and develop emerging investors and entrepreneurs entering the industry .\nthe undergraduate awards programme 2018 , the world\u2019s leading undergraduate academic awards programme , recognises outstanding undergraduate work and shares it with a global audience .\nzambrero opens in harvard square and warwick , rhode island , donating a meal to someone in need for every burrito or bowl sold .\non the plus side it looks like i got refunded the gems i spent .\ni bought ki gold for this and i really hope i get refunded . have they said if there going to be any kind of way to get it back ?\nwe haven\u2019t said a word yet . i hope to know more tomorrow . believe it or not , the snow day in portland , or is what caused this not to get reinstated today .\nmeanwhile down here in arkansas we\u2019ve experienced all 4 seasons within the span of a week . today\u2019s summer , i suppose . i\u2019m hoping winter comes back soon .\nwe aren\u2019t used to it in the northwest . they had more snow down in portland than they\u2019ve had in the last 37 years !\nthe pack is back up but i still dont have my ki gold back . do we now how long the pack will be up ?\ni have no idea . i just took a risk and got it when i saw it .\n. that\u2019s the twist . it\u2019s a blind swordswoman instead of a blind swordsman . y\u00f4ko matsuyama stars as oichi , a young woman who was abandoned as a child , blinded by lightning bolt and raised by a foster family . the foster family is murdered by a bad guy , oichi is saved and later trained by a wandering samurai who also left her after she got better with the sword than him . she was also hinting at marriage which might have had something to do with it . the rest of film has her wandering from town to town saving people and kicking butt .\nwhere oichi fights an evil female bounty hunter who uses a whip . this was followed by the less successful\n( 1970 ) . apparently in 1971 there was a 25 episode tv series and then the character faded into obscurity . the films have never had a north american release although there have been random versions released in other countries with bad dubs . a search on the interwebs finds nothing physical to buy in terms of dvds or blu -

sci - fi movie genre has been almost incalculable ; in fact , it is fair to say that almost every film that can be classified in this category made after 1968 has directly or indirectly , consciously or unconsciously , paid tribute to it .\nfilm techniques such as editing and sound should not call attention to themselves ( 236 ) .\nso said ridley scott when he was first asked to direct hannibal , the long -

generated imagery ) in 1968 . when 2001 was made , the power our mobile phones pack today would have needed a computer the size of the pentagon , and quite likely , if such a computer existed , it would have been deep underground , inside the pentagon . 2001 relied on pure mechanical engineering to create most of its mind - blowing effects .\n' but dino , i don ' t want to make a film about elephants . . . '\njust came across this as a related post . my favorite film , will surely give this a look\ncinema is probably the most manipulative art form ever \u2014 it uses basic human emotions to evoke a response from the viewer . but stanley kubrick , through his non - verbal style in \u20182001 : a space odyssey\u2019 , manages to break any barrier there is in art ; the movie connects directly with your subconscious , both metaphysically and philosophically . there is no pretense , no artistic flourishes ; everything is stripped down , displaying art at its purest . when \u20182001 : a space odyssey\u2019 released , nobody had ever seen anything like it before . 48 years have passed ; and we are yet to see anything like it since . art is subjective ; so as such there can never be one greatest film . but i don\u2019t have any qualms in proclaiming \u20182001 : a space odyssey\u2019 as the most important film ever made . i don\u2019t think anybody can argue with that !\nthe 2014 film interstellar , directed by christopher nolan , with access to the sort of computing power to create effects that kubrick and clarke may not have imagined would be available to film makers ( though they thought up hal , which\u2014who ? \u2014exists by the beginning of the 21st century ) and 3d technology , was an attempt to outdo 2001 . of course , it was visually spectacular .\nthe best that cinema has had to offer since 2000 as picked by 177 film critics from around the world .\nsuburban motherhood is not one - size - fits - all : kelly & cal \u2014 a film . . .\nspecial thanks : director of n . y . c . mayor ' s office of film theatre , and television\nmay hold the unofficial hollywood record for most credited producers of any movie ever made : fourteen , including six\nexecutive producers\n, six\nproducers\nand two\nco - producers\n.\nhow breaking the rules of hollywood film can feel more fulfilling to a viewer looking for something more at the movies .\n2001 is unfathomable too , especially its last sequence , where time and space behave very differently from the way we experience them . the film leaves many questions tantalizingly unanswered . but unlike in interstellar , none of those questions have one correct provable - on - paper answer . in fact , technically , interstellar has no unanswered questions\u2014you just have to know enough theoretical physics , that\u2019s all . 2001 , 48 years after its release , leaves the biggest physics brains in the world mystified yet enchanted .\nnordern , eric . \u201c playboy interview : stanley kubrick . \u201d stanley kubrick interviews . ed . gene d . phillips . jackson : up of mississippi , 2001 . 47 - 74 .\nwith 2001 : a space odyssey , kubrick decisively breaks out of these rules of the classical hollywood form to make the audience not only look deeper at his film , but experience something beyond the images . in other words , context should be projected by the audience , not dictated by explicit meanings in the narrative .\nover dinner one evening , i told karan to get someone to write about the film , as they did abroad for the big hollywood flicks . i even suggested that he get someone like khalid mohammed to write about the making of the film .\nthis is the only shrek film to open with the dreamworks pictures logo ; later films would have the dreamworks animation logo .\nfor the most part the film alternates from mexico to wakefield to ayala in that order , although there are occasional variations .\nwhen the first screening of \u20182001 : a space odyssey\u2019 was held back in 1968 , audiences walked out expressing disgust and chastised the director\u2019s indulgence and lack of a narrative structure . critics hated it and many even called it the worst film ever made . even the ones who loved it didn\u2019t know what to make of it . looking back , the response isn\u2019t surprising considering the fact that the movie broke every rule there is to break in cinema . portraying two major turning points of human evolution over millions of years , the movie has no tangible plot , no characters , and no emotional arc . what then made the movie so great ? why does it turn out to be the experience of a lifetime ? the answers aren\u2019t so simple .\no cinema co - director kareem tabsch ( at left ) with hans morgenstern at o cinema on april 10 , 2013 lead a discussion on 2001 : a space odyssey . photo by ana morgenstern .\nfinally , 2001 remains a mystery of that highest order for which every solution is a valid one , or perhaps there is no solution at all , and that too is a perfectly satisfying solution .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nin many advertisements , posters , and dvd / blu - ray covers for half - blood prince , the harry potter logo is shown tilted at an angle and cut off at either end . some posters also depict the logo with a bluish sheen . this film is also the first to abbreviate the film title to\nhp6\n, which was again done for the seventh film .\nbeing a film buff , the idea of writing about the six stars working together on the same set , under the same director , seemed very exciting . in my opinion , india may never see another film that can boast of such a fantastic cast .\nsince today is pink shirt day or anti - bullying awareness day , i thought i\u2019d share with you the most powerful film that i have ever seen that tackles the subject . and it tackles it hard . larry clark\u2019s 2001 \u2018bully\u2019 is one of the most disturbing and hard to watch movies from my lifetime . but it\u2019s essential .\nbeginning in 2001 , warner bros . pictures began releasing adaptations of the harry potter books . these films have proven to be very popular and , in less than a decade , the harry potter film series has become the highest - grossing motion picture series in history , surpassing the world - famous james bond franchise . [ 1 ]\none of the reasons for the harsh critical response toward 2001 : a space odyssey upon release comes from the fact that several popular critics of the time approached this film with an aesthetic expectations stemming from classical hollywood cinema . their complaints were all about how the film did not follow hollywood conventions , and it frustrated them . alexander walker , sybil taylor and ulrich ruchti wrote in stanley kubrick , director : a visual analysis : \u201cthe first wave of critics wrote mixed reviews . while seeing a new use of film , they reacted with responses geared to conventionally shaped films\u201d ( walker , taylor and ruchti 162 ) .\n\u201c 2001 \u2026 is basically a visual , nonverbal experience . it avoids intellectual verbalization and reaches the viewer\u2019s subconscious in a way that is essentially poetic and philosophic . the film thus becomes a subjective experience which hits the viewer at an inner level of consciousness , just as music does , or painting\u201d ( qtd . in gelmis 89 - 90 ) .\na young michael pitt turns out an awesome supporting performance here too as donny , the constantly stoned comedic relief . but even in a film such as this , the comedy eventually turns a little sad . this isn\u2019t dazed & confused \u2013 it\u2019s more along the lines of stoned & sad . the film has sequences of rape , graphic consensual sex , violence and so much cursing that it would give goodfellas a run for it\u2019s money . larry clark made one hell of a movie when he released bully back in 2001 . in honour of pink shirt day \u2013 if you truly want to embrace raising anti - bullying awareness , this is by far the best and most powerful movie experience to ever handle the subject .\nfrom the internet to followers in my hometown miami , i have long been asked to share my ma thesis that capped off my studies in american literature at florida international university , something i titled \u201cthe sublimation of the classical hollywood cinema form in 2001 : a space odyssey . \u201d this was a 76 - page paper based on the work of eminent film scholar david bordwell\u2019s theory of classical hollywood cinema . i contrasted the seven rules of his theory with criticism both scholarly and popular on the film as well as published interviews with both the film\u2019s director stanley kubrick and its co - writer arthur c . clarke . the point was to reveal how the director achieved a more profound film\u2014 philosophically , spiritually and artistically\u2014 by breaking the rules of classical hollywood cinema .\nthere were four directors across every film , with chris columbus directing the first and second film , and alfonso cuar\u00f3n directing the third . mike newell directed the fourth with david yates staying the longest , as he directed the last four films . columbus did stay to produce the third film with heyman , and david barron produced the last four with heyman . rowling joined the team for the final two films .\n[ \u2026 ] the most authoritarian piece of work directed by the maverick filmmaker stanley kubrick , \u20182001 : a space odyssey\u2019 could aptly be described as a crazy rendezvous with mayhem and uncertainty . with themes ranging [ \u2026 ]\nif ever a movie testified to the utter creative bankruptcy of the hollywood film industry , it is the abomination known as freddy got fingered .\ngoing back to gelmis , he wrote that populist critics seemed \u201c\u2018threatened\u2019 by the film \u2018because the conventional standards don\u2019t apply\u2019\u201d ( 20 ) . it was that little bit of commentary that inspired me to compare bordwell\u2019s later theoretical work in defining the classical hollywood cinema form to see how this film fits in with that approach . i wasn\u2019t surprised to find that it does not fit in his theory of hollywood film at all .\nhas also been a landmark film in its own sense , with the star cast , the mounting and the mammoth budget . the success of\nemma watson and rupert grint were selected from thousands of children who auditioned for the role of hermione and ron . the casting of the three is thought to be highly impressive , and one of\nthe best show decisions\never made .\nin a sense , this is a horror film , worse than anything andy kaufman could dream up , in which green tries to outgross himself .\ndonkey and fiona are the only characters to refer to shrek by name in this film . others would later do so in the other films .\ncinema is adored and worshipped in india . directors , actors and writers have made our nation proud with their incandescent talents . be it aamir khan leading \u2018dangal\u2019 to international success or ray inspiring scorsese to make \u2018taxi driver\u2019 ( 1978 ) . . .\n( 2001 ) comes from a peculiar cross - section of production cultures . it stars an australian woman playing an englishwoman . it was written and directed by a spaniard , backed by americans , set in jersey but filmed in spain .\nfilm literature , especially in india , has a very niche audience and hence a very small market . how have you tried to overcome that barrier ?\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nhowever there were some that understood the film as something rather different and special during an era where many independent filmmakers were redefining movie\u2019s structure ( remember , this was the time when easy rider hit the scene ) . \u201cnewsday\u201d film critic joseph gelmis actually wrote two reviews within days of each other reversing his position from his original review , which had a title that stated \u201cspace odyssey fails most gloriously\u201d to admitting in his second review : \u201cafter seeing 2001 : a space odyssey a second time , i\u2019m convinced it is a masterwork . \u201d ( documented on - line here ) .\nan adaptation of homer ' s great epic , the film follows the assault on troy by the united greek forces and chronicles the fates of the men involved .\nit is a common belief that just because a film is a periodical , a mythological or a sci - fi thriller a lot of research goes into it .\nevery major distributor passed on it at sundance in january 2001 . it was viewed as a problem film that no one knew how to market . it looked like it might go straight to video , but then newmarket picked it up . they\u2019d done memento \u2013 another experimental film seen as a hard sell . its director , christopher nolan , convinced newmarket to give donnie darko a chance . then it got released on the halloween weekend after 9 / 11 and didn\u2019t even make $ 1m . no one was in the mood to see any kind of movie , especially a heavy emotional one .\nin other words , 2001 is the finest form of poetry in the garb of science fiction . it is a dreamscape masquerading as cold outer space . it is an experience that you immerse both your left brain\u2014the seat of logical thinking\u2014and right brain\u2014the seat of creative thinking\u2014in .\nbut , in his desperate bid to out - imagine clarke and kubrick , nolan crammed in so much that very few among the people across the world who watched the film , other than maybe some brilliant post - doctoral fellows in physics , understood what on earth\u2014rather , in outer space\u2014was going on . thorne wrote a book , explaining the physics of interstellar . but , as an american critic wrote , if you have to read a 350 - page book to understand a film , is the film really worth watching ?\nthe past 12 months that i have spent with the film have opened my eyes to commercial cinema . i ' m much less judgmental about its filmmakers and much less opinionated about the films . as a journalist you ' re taught to undermine anything that finds its average with the masses . the film has been a big revelation to me , personally .\nthe film adaptation of deathly hallows was split into two parts , the first of which was released in november , 2010 , with the second part released on 15 july , 2011 .\na file photo of stanley kubrick . 2001 is the finest form of poetry in the garb of science fiction . it is a dreamscape masquerading as cold outer space . it is an experience that you immerse both your left brain\u2014the seat of logical thinking\u2014and right brain\u2014the seat of creative thinking\u2014in . photo : reuters\nthe book is divided into six parts each representing the independent process of filmmaking : pre - production and scripting ; the look of the film ; the music ; the shooting of scenes ; the shooting of songs and post - production . it covers the entire journey from when karan put pen to paper to the first copy of the film , 200 pages with over 200 pictures .\nquite possibly , if there hadn\u2019t been a 2001 , there would have been no star wars . and the star wars series has earned more than $ 6 . 5 billion till date at just the box office ( various spin - offs like books , comics , toys , video games etc not included ) .\nmade ,\na peculiarly entertaining comedy , revisits the rapport that favreau and vaughn had in\nswingers\n( 1996 ) , and rotates it into a deadpan crime comedy . the movie was written , directed and produced by favreau , who plays vaughn ' s straight man and loyal friend ; think of martin and lewis .\nin this film it is implied shrek lives alone because of his looks and the fact he is an ogre which frightens the villagers and this seems to upset him . however in forever after it is the exact opposite where shrek now wants to be feared again . it is possible shrek simply got used to being feared by the villagers in this film and that his life was better living alone .\n; it is about how such a simple story was magnified with all the grandeur and the star cast to produce the final product . i did not have the advantage of history , the advantage of research but i think i have more than made up for it in terms of cinematic moments , which i have tried to capture and relive .\nfor prisoner of azkaban , the glow effect is dropped . while subtle , the logo was redesigned for azkaban . the letter p was elongated and given a different , pointed serif . also , the film started the trend of colouring the logo in various shades of silver instead of gold ( however , it is coloured bronze in some instances ) . since the tone of the film transitioned from light to dark .\nbeyond all the religious allegory and philosophical underlings , the movie also manages to give us one of cinema\u2019s greatest villains , which incidentally isn\u2019t human . the hal 9000 computer powering the spaceship following the monolith\u2019s signals , said to be the most advanced ai ever made , becomes self - aware . for a movie which portrays scientific , technological and philosophical advancement , \u20182001 : a space odyssey\u2019 offers a damning critique of the advancements in artificial intelligence , in turn it gives us a display of the double - edged nature of technology . in a testament to kubrick\u2019s writing prowess , hal , with only its voice and a red camera eye , manages to create more impact than most human characters in cinema .\nin march 2000 , chris columbus was selected to direct the first film , while steve kloves wrote the screenplay . rowling was given a large creative role which columbus was fine with , while heyman stayed to produce it .\nconsider now two spy thrillers : \u201cspy game , \u201d with robert redford and brad pitt , which opened over thanksgiving , and \u201cthe tailor of panama , \u201d with pierce brosnan and geoffrey rush , which opened in march 2001 . both , curiously , star catherine mccormack as the girl for whom a spy risks all , or seems to , or means to .\norder of the phoenix is notable for changing the font used for the subtitles , a change reflected in the film as well . however in the title sequence for the film , the title uses the old ' p ' in ' potter ' as used in the first two films . order of the phoenix is also the first to depict the logo as weathered and scratched . the old subtitle font is still used in other promotional materials besides the logo .\nif the film ' s too ready to go with the flow of chris doyle ' s handheld camerawork , and sometimes seems ad hoc , its spot - on attention to the faux pas of the moment certainly raises a smile .\nin chamber of secrets , the background is the sky above privet drive at sunset . chamber of secrets is the only film to depict the warner bros . pictures logo in its original colour scheme . because of the blue background of the logo , it is animated to turn on its\nback\nso the camera does not\ngo through\nit . in every subsequent film , the blue background is omitted , and the camera passes between the letters of the logo .\no cinema is hosting an encore screening of 2001 : a space odyssey on saturday , april 27 at its miami shores location ( that\u2019s a hot link for tickets and more information ) . this screening is part of o cinema\u2019s on -

aircraft in late 1941 .\njosh hartnett , ewan mcgregor , jason isaacs , tom sizemore , eric bana all star in this film in which us soldiers are sent in to assist in the somalian civil war of 1993 . most notable for its realistic , long drawn out and brutal battle scenes .\nthey were made for each other : bobby , the earnest , plodding , analytical , seeker after success , and ricky , the clueless instigator who can ' t involve himself in a situation without making it worse . there are some people with a gift for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time , and ricky is one of them , talking when he should shut up , helpfully revealing secrets , blurting out the truth when a lie is desperately called for .\ntom green ' s shtick is that you say ,\nwhat ?\nand give an uncomfortable laugh at his antics . he used this to get his own show on mtv , and he uses it here to make us empathetic to a loser character that does weird stuff . some of this i found ridiculously unneeded and deliberately stupid . sometimes i actually laughed , because why not ? there ' s also the question as to why rip torn acts like a degenerate , abusive pariah most of the film , and it ' s treated like an interesting quirk . while there ' s really no reason to watch this film , sometimes it ' s funny to laugh at the weird , the inspired , and the zany . though this film falls more under the heading of\ngross\nit ' s in the same vein .\nindian cinema has not been chronicled as well as it should have been . twenty years down the line there would be no information , whether factual or otherwise , on films today , their stars and their interactions , save for film glossies , which have a short shelf life .\nit wasn\u2019t a conventional adulthood film in the american pie way . donnie talks about jerking off , but that\u2019s only a part of it . his psychological journey is what\u2019s important . that\u2019s why it\u2019s had this lasting power . anything psychological has a slower \u2013 but ultimately longer \u2013 burn .\nin 2001 , when a third monolith is sighted in space , a spaceship is dispatched to discover its meaning and source . but the spaceship\u2019s computer hal has become self - aware and wants to unravel the mystery first and beat human beings to the next stage of evolution . the space crew has to survive the murderous hal , reach the monolith , where , unknown to them , a whole new universe promising a higher consciousness than ours , waits .\ntotally unbelievable . chronologically , historically and geographically incorrect . full of innumerable inaccuracies and made up of a cast who talk as though they are not from the same continent , let alone the same country ! what more can i say ? i tell you what i can say , i thoroughly enjoyed it ! ! ! i laughed from beginning to end and was enraptured by the sense of friendship that these people displayed . i only wish we could all be like them ! i loved it .\nin his essays on 2001 , robinson recognizes that kubrick was aiming to share something that could only be told through images and as such becomes impossible to explain with dialogue and words , much less the limits of conventional story - telling in cinema . as robinson said , \u201c [ kubrick ] had a story to tell that could be rendered , perceived , followed and completed only through moving images \u2026 he committed himself to telling the story of the active eye\u201d ( robinson 77 ) .\nthe plot of 2001 , roughly based on clarke\u2019s short story \u2018the sentinel\u2019 ( he and kubrick worked for a year on taking the premise of the story as far as they could ) is , very briefly , this . some entity , or entities , have been nudging human evolution forward by placing mysterious black monoliths in different parts of the solar system . we see the first monolith along with the ape - man . the second is found sometime in the 20th century on the moon .\nand what can we really call a new classic ? what in recent vintage can hold its own on the big screen with the likes of the searchers , the godfather , the rules of the game , seven samurai or citizen kane ? some film journalists even think the movie star is a thing of the past .\nin every film but philosopher ' s stone and prisoner of azkaban , the harry potter logo appears slowly floating from background to foreground , usually through a sea of clouds . in the other two films , the logo flies in from the foreground , stops as it is illuminated , then flies back into the foreground .\nmtv is going full retro . today , the network announced they are developing reboots of classic tv shows such as the real world , daria , and aeon flux . the revivals are part of mtv ' s new unit , mtv studios , which will\ndevelop and produce a full slate with a focus on beloved series , franchises and spin - offs that span mtv ' s 35 - year history .\nalongside the real world , daria , and aeon flux , mtv studios is also working on an updated version of made . read more\u2026\nnew york - - jon favreau will be feted with the director of the year award this month at the 2005 showeast convention in orlando .\nthere are very few individuals in hollywood that establish themselves as an actor , screenwriter and director ,\nsaid mitch neuhauser , co -

which is strictly dark grey - the logo appears in varying shades , from black to light grey in promotional items , dvd / blu - ray covers , and the soundtrack . on some posters , it has a noticeable red tinge . for the video game and other promotional materials , the logo has a blue hue .\ni thought the same way too until i wrote this book . but after putting my life on hold , travelling to london and egypt and observing the entire shoot , i know that my earlier notion was a fallacy . making a mainstream commercial film , blending varied popular tastes together and catering to every segment of your audience , is in itself a great talent .\nthe film took a long time to be found . it started in the uk . i\u2019d just finished a play in london and started doing press for donnie darko . the response was so different compared with back home : brits seem to appreciate that , if you have something special , it doesn\u2019t have to be perfect . they acted like they\u2019d found a kindred spirit .\nthe harry potter logo design is based on the typeface used for the american editions of the books . in the first two films , directed by chris columbus , it was golden , however alfonso cuaron , the director of prisoner of azkaban changed the logo ' s colour to silver to reflect the film ' s darker atmosphere . this was used in later films as well .\nmtv has launched a new production unit , mtv studios \u2014 and with it put in the works a batch of new shows and revivals of properties from the viacom - owned cable channel\u2019s extensive content library . among the initial mtv studios slate is a new iteration of the animated series \u201c daria \u201d from \u201c inside amy schumer \u201d writer grace edwards ; \u201c teen wolf \u201d creator jeff davis\u2019s reimagining of sci - fi animated series \u201c aeon flux \u201d with fellow exec producer gale anne hurd ; a revival with bunim / murray productions of reality series \u201cthe real world\u201d ; and a new version of unscripted series \u201c made . \u201d also in the works\nand it has arguably the most breathtakingly imaginative opening sequence ever . it begins with some ancestors of homo sapiens , more ape than man , and one of them throws the bone of some wild beast up into the sky . the bone whirls high in the air and as it drops , the film jumps a few million years , the bone transforming into a ship in deep space .\ni had the opportunity to do that at o cinema a couple of weeks ago following a rare theatrical screening of the film during a retrospective of stanley kubrick\u2019s films ( see event page ) . the art house\u2019s co - director , kareem tabsch , invited me to present my argument in a discussion with an intimate audience illustrated by a presentation i designed on urltoken ( see it here ) .\ni was 23 , just graduating from film school , and in a panic trying to write a screenplay to get my career started . i remembered a news story i\u2019d read as a kid : about a huge chunk of ice that fell from the wing of a jet and hit a boy\u2019s bedroom , but he wasn\u2019t there and escaped being killed . that gave me the seed of an idea .\nkloves and goldenberg had direct help from j . k . rowling , although she gave them great space to have their own ideas . rowling wanted them to stay true to the books , and save for a few changes , the plot and tone of each film remained the same as the books . heyman said rowling was the\nbest support\nand that she understood some things had to be changed .\nwhen a green ogre named shrek discovers his swamp has been ' swamped ' with all sorts of fairytale creatures by the scheming lord farquaad , shrek sets out with a very loud donkey by his side to ' persuade ' farquaad to give shrek his swamp back . instead , a deal is made . farquaad , who wants to become the king , sends shrek to rescue princess fiona , who is awaiting her true love in a tower guarded by a fire - breathing dragon . but once they head back with fiona , it starts to become apparent that not only does shrek , an ugly ogre , begin to fall in love with the lovely princess , but fiona is also hiding a huge secret .\nclarke and kubrick had used their prodigal imaginations . nolan relied on prodigious quantities of purely mathematical physics to appear imaginative . he ended up with a film that certainly makes you want to know all the theory behind what\u2019s going on on - screen , but after some time , you just give up and say : why work so hard ? so , it remains merely unfathomable , with most people not interesting in fathoming it .\nprisoner of azkaban is the only film to date that does not depict either the wb or harry potter logo against a sea of clouds . they are instead set floating in front of 4 privet drive , illuminated by wand light . another noticeable difference is that the letters of the harry potter logo float around haphazardly . different from the first two films , and continuing on in the next , the logo is coloured silver .\nscott may not be quite through with hannibal lecter yet . the de laurentiises have announced plans to capitalise on their investment by remaking red dragon at universal ; the studio ' s stacey snider says it will include new , lecter - related plot lines . it is very unusual for a contemporary novel to be made into a movie twice within 20 years . michael mann , who directed the original 1986 version , declined to be interviewed .\nmann was informed that we were doing this ,\nsnider says .\nwe didn ' t want to be disrespectful of his earlier work .\nmany directors , she adds , have raised their hands for the job , and\ni ' m sure dino spoke to ridley . they ' re very close .\nin 1997 , david heyman received a copy of harry potter and the philosopher ' s stone . he put it on the low priority shelf , thinking the title was\nrubbish\n. however , when a secretary found and read it , she gave it to heyman with a positive review and he then read it . heyman was very impressed by rowling ' s work , which led to rowling selling him the film rights for four books in 1999 .\nhow often have we all heard that resigned expression ? how often have we said it ourselves ? \u2018the death of cinema\u2019 is debated in university film studies programs worldwide . critics lament the loss of ' small movies ' in favour of superhero spectacles . box - office analysts look for signs of an industry on the brink . studio executives fear that video - on - demand may destroy the idea of going to the cinema more than broadcast and cable tv ever did .\nin order of the phoenix , the logo drifts through what appears to be blue smoke or fog instead of actual clouds . this logo is grey and stone - textured instead of metallic , a trend that continues in the following films . order of the phoenix is also the first film to use a new font for the subtitle , something that also carries over to the newer films . the background is generic , but dissolves into a sunny sky over little whinging .\nart and cinema , in particular , have often explored these ideas of life and existence with varying degrees of success . movies like \u2018prometheus\u2019 , \u2018contact\u2019 and to a small extent \u2018interstellar\u2019 touch upon the idea of an advanced life form guiding us through our evolution . but the fact remains that while these movies are fascinating , none of them have successfully managed to display the scale and absolute magnificence of the ideas they promulgate . in fact , it is nearly impossible to do that , since that would require complete abdication of the human element from the art , as a means to rise above it , to portray something greater than life ; something beyond our comprehension . as i said , it is impossible , and yet that is exactly what \u20182001 : a space odyssey\u2019 does !\nit was my idea to have my real - life sister , maggie , play my sister in the film . we were going through a competitive phase , which fed into the dinner - table scenes , where she tells me : \u201cyou can go suck a fuck . \u201d maggie was the reason i got into acting and is the more formidable of us . yet i was the one who started my professional career first . imagine being in a movie with your obnoxious little brother as the lead .\nthat ' s not so say the film is without interest . it stars robert redford as a veteran cia spymaster , on his last day at work , and brad pitt as the young idealist he recruited after vietnam . now pitt is in a chinese prison , captured in the act of helping catherine mccormack escape , and it ' s redford who was responsible for her being there . the framework is 24 hours during which redford must scheme , lie and deceive in order to save pitt , who the agency plans to sacrifice ; nothing must upset top - level trade talks between the u . s . and china .\nmtv is getting into the studio game to capitalize on 35 years worth of built up content . the viacom - owned network announced thursday it is launching mtv studios , a new production arm it will utilize to reboot old series like \u201c daria \u201d and the already - in - the - works return of \u201cthe real world , \u201d to sell to other networks and streaming platforms . the initial slate includes those two series , along with a revival of coming of age unscripted series \u201c made \u201d and the previously - announced live - action reboot of sci - fi series \u201caeon flux , \u201d from \u201c teen wolf \u201d creator jeff davis . also read : ' aeon flux ' live - action reboot series in the works at mtv the new studio will also produce a pair of fresh series : \u201c the valley \u201d ( working title ) , a coming of age docuseries in the spirit of \u201c the hills \u201d and \u201c siesta key \u201d which follows a group of young friends growing up in the valley town of nogales , arizona , a city split in half ,\ni think the ending is more tonal as to what could possibly be in her mind at that moment ,\nscott says , shrugging and lighting a small cigar .\nhe ' s quite specific . she is more enigmatic .\nthe film , he adds , contains\nan interesting postscript , which , if nothing else , i think is fun . some people think it ' s sick .\nthe character of clarice became an obsession for the entire production , for two reasons : first , when the de laurentiises turned down the chance to make the silence of the lambs , they also passed on the rights to clarice . to obtain them again , they had to go through mgm , which acquired orion ' s properties after the company ' s demise . a co - production deal , including equal shares of the profits , was struck between universal and mgm .\nin 1985 , the couple bought the rights to thomas harris ' s bestselling thriller red dragon , from which they produced the 1986 movie manhunter , directed by michael mann . the film , which features the first , brief screen appearance of the serial killer hannibal lecter ( then spelled lektor and played by brian cox ) , was inventive , frightening and well - received , but it grossed $ 8 . 6m , less than the cost of its print ads . the de laurentiises were disappointed .\nmanhunter was not red dragon ,\ndino says .\nmanhunter was no good .\nand so when harris completed the silence of the lambs , neither dino nor martha bothered to read it , even though they owned the screen rights to the lecter character ( who figured much more prominently in this new novel ) .\nbig mistake\nis how dino now characterises this lack of interest .\nwe had a funny situation with gary ,\nmartha de laurentiis says .\nhe wanted a prominent credit . now , how can you do a prominent credit with hannibal ? the characters are hannibal and clarice starling . so we really couldn ' t work something out [ at first ] .\nfor a while oldman was out , then he came back , asking to go unbilled . his casting was announced by dino at a press conference in florence just before the start of shooting ,\nso we couldn ' t deny that he was in the movie\n, martha says .\nthey [ oldman and his camp ] got really pissed off . and to have a pissed - off actor . . .\nshe changes tone abruptly .\nyou ' ll have to see the film to see if it ' s gary oldman or not .\n( oldman ' s manager declined to comment . )"]}

the irishman keeps a thumb on the edge of his , so as to know when the pot is full , for it is very dark , and there is no more firewood . you soon know this way , especially if you are in the habit of pressing lighted tobacco down into your pipe with the top of your thumb . the old slush - lamps are all burnt out .\n( 1896 ) , it traces the entire history of its production and critical reception in australia through the changing social and intellectual formations of the twentieth century . it is an engrossing detective story , a rich repository of evidence , and a masterpiece of a particular kind of literary scholarship . it will have a substantial impact on australian literary studies while also making this australian case an illuminating one for international work in the field of textual studies . \u201d\n\u201cwhat\u2019s the matter with the little room at the back ? \u201d he asked .\nand the sun sank again on the grand australian bush \u2014 the nurse and tutor of eccentric minds , the home of the weird .\nthe fellows in the fore - cabin that evening were growling about the bad quality of the grub supplied .\nthe oracle came up with smith that night at the nearest shanty , and found that he had forgotten again , and in several instances , and was forgetting some more under the influence of rum and of the flattering interest taken in his case by a drunken bachelor of arts who happened to be at the pub . tom came in quietly from the rear , and crooked his finger at the shanty - keeper . they went apart from the rest , and talked together a while very earnestly . then they secretly examined smith\u2019s swag , the core of which was composed of tom\u2019s and his mate\u2019s valuables .\nwe looked out again while the train was going slowly , and saw a teamster\u2019s camp : three or four wagons covered with tarpaulins which hung down in the mud all round and suggested death . a long , narrow man , in a long , narrow , shoddy overcoat and a damp felt hat , was walking quickly along the road past the camp . a sort of cattle - dog glided silently and swiftly out from under a wagon , \u201cheeled\u201d the man , and slithered back without explaining . here the scene vanished .\nit was the first monday after the holidays . the children had taken their seats in the old bark school , and the master called out the roll as usual :\n\u201call the same it wasn\u2019t him ; for the real brummy turned up later on ; but he couldn\u2019t make the people believe he wasn\u2019t dead . they was mostly english country people from kent and yorkshire and those places ; and the most self - opinionated and obstinate people that ever lived when they got a thing into their heads ; and they got it into their heads that brummy usen was shot while trying to bail up old mr s\u2014\u2014 and was dead and buried .\nmason reached the surface and came and knelt by the other side of the boy .\nthe stranger pushed open the creaking door , and stood bareheaded just inside the doorway .\nthe dog went off , and his master returned to the interior of the hut .\n\u201cthen , again , there was the case of brummy usen \u2014 hughison i think they spelled it \u2014 the bushranger ; he was shot by old mr s\u2014 \u2014 of e\u2014 \u2014 while trying to stick the old gentleman up . there\u2019s something about it in a book called \u2018robbery under arms\u2019 , though the names is all altered \u2014 and some other time i\u2019ll tell you all about the digging of the body up for the inquest and burying it again . this brummy used to work for a publican in a sawmill that the publican had ; and this publican and his daughter identified the body by a woman holding up a branch tattooed on the right arm . i\u2019ll tell you all about that another time . this girl remembered how she used to watch this tattooed woman going up and down on brummy\u2019s arm when he was working in the saw - pit \u2014 going up and down and up and down , like this , while brummy was working his end of the saw . so the bushranger was inquested and justifiable - homicided as brummy usen , and buried again in his dust and blood stains and monkey - jacket .\nwith the scientific expression , took a note - book from his pocket , opened it on the table and said ` come in ' : one of the chaps appeared with a billy of hot coffee two pint pot ' s and some cake . he said he thought you chaps might like a drop of coffee before you turned in and the boys had forgot to ask you to wait for it down in the camp . he also wanted to know wether mr stoneleigh and his man would be alright and quite comfortable for the night and wether they had blankets enough - - - there was some wood at the back of the whare and they could light a fire if they liked .\nthere was no shaking off steelman . he had a way about him which would often make it appear as if you had invited him to stay , and pressed him against his roving inclination , and were glad to have him round for company , while he remained only out of pure goodwill to you . he didn\u2019t like to offend an old friend by refusing his invitation .\nyou have been here , say , three months , and are only about two weeks behind . the landlady still says , \u201cgood morning , mr careless , \u201d or \u201cgood evening , mr careless , \u201d but there is an unpleasant accent on the \u201cmr , \u201d and a still more unpleasantly pronounced stress on the \u201cmorning\u201d or \u201cevening . \u201d while your money lasted you paid up well and regularly \u2014 sometimes in advance \u2014 and dined out most of the time ; but that doesn\u2019t count now .\nthey let him think . the coach descended the natural terraces above the river bank , and pulled up at the pub .\nthe coach had climbed the terraces on the south side of the river , and was bowling along on a level stretch of road across the elevated flat .\nsometimes the boy sticks his head into the cow\u2019s side , hangs on by a teat , and dozes , while the bucket , mechanically gripped between his knees , sinks lower and lower till it rests on the ground . likely as not he\u2019ll doze on until his mother\u2019s shrill voice startles him with an inquiry as to whether he intends to get that milking done to - day ; other times he is roused by the plunging of the cow , or knocked over by a calf which has broken through a defective panel in the pen . in the latter case the youth gets tackle on to the calf , detaches its head from the teat with the heel of his boot , and makes it fast somewhere . sometimes the cow breaks or loosens the leg - rope and gets her leg into the bucket and then the youth clings desperately to the pail and hopes she\u2019ll get her hoof out again without spilling the milk . sometimes she does , more often she doesn\u2019t \u2014 it depends on the strength of the boy and the pail and on the strategy of the former . anyway , the boy will lam the cow down with a jagged yard shovel , let her out , and bail up another .\nthe selector\u2019s wife removes the newspapers , and reveals a thick , yellow layer of rich cream , plentifully peppered with dust that has drifted in somehow . she runs a forefinger round the edges of the cream to detach it from the tin , wipes her finger in her mouth , and skims . if the milk and cream are very thick she rolls the cream over like a pancake with her fingers , and lifts it out in sections . the thick milk is poured into a slop - bucket , for the pigs and calves , the dishes are \u201ccleaned\u201d\u2014 by the aid of a dipper full of warm water and a rag \u2014 and the wife proceeds to set the morning\u2019s milk . tom holds up the doubtful - looking rag that serves as a strainer while his mother pours in the milk . sometimes the boy\u2019s hands get tired and he lets some of the milk run over , and gets into trouble ; but it doesn\u2019t matter much , for the straining - cloth has several sizable holes in the middle .\nthey stayed on for several days . after breakfast and when the men were going to work steelman and smith would go out along the line with the black bag and poke round amongst the \u201clayers and stratas\u201d in sight of the works for a while , as an evidence of good faith ; then they\u2019d drift off casually into the bush , camp in a retired and sheltered spot , and light a fire when the weather was cold , and steelman would lie on the grass and read and smoke and lay plans for the future and improve smith\u2019s mind until they reckoned it was about dinner - time . and in the evening they would come home with the black bag full of stones and bits of rock , and steelman would lecture on those minerals after tea .\npresently the form of the child appeared , motionless and covered with clay and water . mason was climbing up by the steps in the side of the shaft .\nthey can be given a transcript of the story and follow how the punctuation guides the reading .\n\u201cyes , \u201d the phrenologist continued , while malachi sat horror - stricken ; \u201ci\u2019ve got jimmy nowlett\u2019s skull here , \u201d and he lifted the bag and lovingly felt the pumpkin \u2014 it must have weighed forty pounds . \u201ci spoilt one of his best bumps with the tomahawk . i had to hit him twice , but it\u2019s no use crying over spilt milk . \u201d here he drew a heavy shingling - hammer out of the bag and wiped off with his sleeve something that looked like blood . malachi had been edging round for the door , and now he made a rush for it . but the skull - fancier was there before him .\nsteelman turned into the top bunk on one side and smith took the lower on the other . steelman had the candle by his bunk , as usual ; he lit his pipe for a final puff before going to sleep , and held the light up for a moment so as to give smith the full benefit of a solemn , uncompromising wink . the wink was silently applauded and dutifully returned by smith . then steelman blew out the light , lay back , and puffed at his pipe for a while . presently he chuckled , and the chuckle was echoed by smith ; by and by steelman chuckled once more , and then smith chuckled again . there was silence in the darkness , and after a bit smith chuckled twice . then steelman said :\n\u201cyes ! travel ! take the track ! go on the wallaby ! the cockies over there used to hang the meat up on the branches of the trees , and just shake it whenever they wanted to feed the fowls . and the water was so bad that half a pound of tea in the billy wouldn\u2019t make no impression on the colour \u2014 nor the taste . the further west we went the worse our meat got , till at last we had to carry a dog - chain to chain it up at night . then it got worse and broke the chain , and then we had to train the blessed dogs to shepherd it and bring it back . but we fell in with another chap with a bad old dog \u2014 a downright knowing , thieving , old hard - case of a dog ; and this dog led our dogs astray \u2014\u2014 demoralized them \u2014 corrupted their morals \u2014 and so one morning they came home with the blooming meat inside them , instead of outside \u2014 and we had to go hungry for breakfast . \u201d"]}

on title , the day the earth caught fire is an intelligent , disturbing piece of speculative fiction . through the eyes of british reporter peter stenning ( edward judd ) , we learn that both the u . s . and the u . s . s . r . have simultaneously set off nuclear explosions to test their efficiency . the twin blasts have caused the earth to go off its axis . the result is a disastrous upheaval in the balance of nature ; floods and fires being the principal plagues . with the end of the world staring everyone in the face , chaos reigns . the only hope lies in another massive nuclear explosion , which will hopefully rebalance the earth . the film ends ambiguously , with viewers allowed to decide for themselves whether or not the world has been saved . in the original prints of the day the earth caught fire , the opening and closing reels were tinted yellow , representing the scorching heat beating down on the frightened populace .\ni often approach 50s and 60s sci fi sporting titles that deserve many an exclamation point with a giddy sense of worry and wonder . they ' re fickle , sometimes fantastic , often endearingly bad , sometimes truly awful . i assumed the day the earth caught fire would have a similar vibe , but this is a different beast altogether .\nfrom the title , this movie sounds like a cash - in on the considerably better known the day the earth stood still , and from a quick glance at the plot synopsis it reads like a sci - fi tinged disaster movie . . though it is one of a long line of science fiction films from the \u201850s and \u201860s dealing with the consequences of atomic power , the day the earth caught fire is actually a very different beast . rather than bringing us the attention of creatures from beyond the stars or spawning rampaging giant monsters , in this film atomic weapon testing has had a far more plausible result \u2013 it has suddenly and disastrously altered earth\u2019s climate .\nthe script casts journalists from the daily express in a battle to save the earth after the united states and the soviet union detonate nuclear explosions that knock the earth off its axis and onto a trajectory towards the sun .\nin its final scenes , the day the earth caught fire turns from monochrome to a scorched yellow tint , as if the sun is burning up the film itself . a chilling ambiguous climax ends unusually without a single credit or title card . instead there is just a fade to black , ushering in a future that could spell deliverance or destruction for the entire planet .\nred card : fire qualification card issued to fire rated persons showing their training needs and their qualifications to fill specified fire suppression and support positions in a large fire suppression or incident organization .\nfire crews from north kensington , kensington , hammersmith and paddington and from surrounding fire stations are in attendance . the cause of the fire is not known at this stage , the london fire brigade said in a statement\nwhile his film may have concerned nuclear testing knocking the earth off its axis and causing the planet\u2019s climate zones to become displaced ( cue tropical storms in london and the river thames drying up ) , director val guest was nevertheless determined to present the day the earth caught fire ( 1961 ) in as realistic a style as possible . \u201ci tried very hard to make it as \u2018documentary\u2019 as possible . i wanted it to be so authentic\u201d , he later declared .\nthe london fire brigade received multiple calls to the fire which spread from the second floor to the top floor of the 27 floor building .\nthe bfi\u2019s new hd remaster of the british sci -

income producing films have become profitable ( after initial box - office failures ) with strong international grosses , and further profits from the sales of movies to tv syndication and to home video / dvd releases ( or re - releases ) . a prominent example of a film which did very poorly in the us , ( i . e . , the golden compass ( 2007 ) ) with only $ 70 million ( domestic revenue ) , easily recouped its production budget costs of $ 180 million with $ 302 million ( foreign revenue ) - for a total of $ 372 million ( worldwide ) .\nbombs vs . turkeys : this selection of box - office financial bombs is often significantly different from another category of films , known as\nturkeys\n- - or in other words , films which have been rated as the worst ever made . these clunkers have often received official golden raspberry awards ( or\nrazzies\n) which were first awarded in 1981 ( for films made in 1980 ) , although some\nturkeys\nare included in this list ( such as showgirls ( 1995 ) and basic instinct 2 ( 2006 ) ) . the razzie awards were loosely based on the 1980 book the golden turkey awards written by film critic michael medved and his brother harry medved . many of the ' turkeys ' were also described in harry medved ' s earlier 1978 book the fifty worst films of all - time . in 1984 , the medveds also wrote the hollywood hall of shame : the most expensive flops in movie history - - detailing the biggest financial film disasters in hollywood history up to that time .\nmovie audiences often love to relish the fact that some films , such as final fantasy : the spirits within ( 2001 ) , cutthroat island ( 1995 ) or heaven ' s gate ( 1980 ) turn out to be monumental flops ( which bankrupted their studios ) , and are fascinated by the details of why certain directors / actors and their films fail . sometimes an actor ' s or director ' s career suffers , sometimes not . most a -

term stability in biological environments play a decisive role for the biocompatibility of titanium implants . in this study , the passive oxide film formed on titanium and its natural growth in a phosphate buffered solution with and without an h 2 o 2 addition have been investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy ( eis ) measurements over a period of several weeks . in the absence of h 2 o 2 , the impedance response indicated a stable thin oxide film on titanium . however , the introduction of h 2 o 2 into the solution resulted in significant changes in the eis - spectra , which varied with exposure time . the interpretation of results is based upon a two - layer model of the oxide film , consisting of a thin barrier - type inner layer and a porous outer layer . the h 2 o 2 addition in the solution led to a significant decrease in corrosion resistance of titanium and also to a thickening of the porous outer layer . the observations may provide an explanation of the unexpected in vivo titanium oxide growth and ion incorporation into titanium implant oxide surfaces .\n2 . \u201c to milestone film & video for its exemplary theatrical and / or dvd presentations of michael powell\u2019s the edge of the world , rupert julian\u2019s the phantom of the opera , e . a dupont\u2019s piccadilly , andr\u00e9 antoine\u2019s la terre , and mad love , the films of evgeni bauer . \u201d\nindian film is growing in north america , thanks to a thriving indian economy , an increasing and affluent south asian diaspora , and growing popularity among afghans , arabs , russians and caribbean immigrants . but if there were few non -

office - the major causes are lack of studio promotion , heavy competition from other movies released at the same time , exorbitant production costs difficult to recoup and other production problems , negative word of mouth ( especially in the era of the internet and social media ) or critical reviews , and other external factors such as bad timing or economic problems in society at large .\nfilms have the potential to skyrocket the profits of a studio , or to send it into ruins and bankruptcy . films that cost more to make than they acquire in revenue ( both domestic and worldwide ) are considered box - office catastrophes or bombs . studios split grosses with theater owners , so even if a movie makes as much as its production budget , it ' s still losing , and that ' s before even considering marketing costs . a film often must make almost double its budget to become profitable . most big box - office bombs are summer blockbusters which are enormously expensive and face stiff competition .\nmixing the urbane cleverness of whit stillman ' s films with the more hang - loose social structure of films that generally star eric stoltz ( and he happens to be in this one ) ,\nkicking and screaming\nstrikes a cheerfully solipsistic note . chris eigeman , the handsome young curmudgeon from mr . stillman ' s\nmetropolitan\nand\nbarcelona ,\nis an especially welcome presence as max , the self -

art forms through a collection of films on bbc two and bbc four .\nbeauty has a lot to do with energetic self regard and that is why it can surrender a message of\ninner beauty\nthrough art . in the end when an artist produce a magnum opus , it is a reflection of his self that is seen in the piece , and if that self is tortured and dis - enchanted it will show those qualities and if that self is harmonius and spirited it will show those qualities . i consider beauty to mean love , those two words are reflection of each other in a pond of energy . az\n\u201cbeauty is the first message you give

2015\nphilosopher roger scruton is perhaps the foremost proponent of the theory that the world is going to hell in a handcart . in his polemical film why beauty matters ( bbc2 ) he looked profoundly uncomfortable in front of the camera , as if just being out in the modern world was giving him hives . his targets were modern art and architecture , which he believes are in thrall to a\ncult of ugliness\n, but he was not afraid to widen his scope .\nit ' s not just our physical surroundings that have become ugly ,\nhe said .\nour language , our music and manners are increasingly raucous , self - centred and offensive .\nas for beauty i think it has been held up as a value for far too long . the lengths that people are driven to to become this type of\nbeautiful\nis leading us down a worse road than what the art of today is . the plastic surgeries and beauty products being sold to us in this quest for beauty is somewhat unobtainable and shallow . we have been sold this idea of beauty for too long . not that i don ' t think that beauty does not hold its place because i find many art of today beautiful as many things in the world are but the beauty that scruton seems to be concerning himself with more to do with class and etiquette than what beauty is really about .\nphilosopher roger scruton presents a provocative essay on the importance of beauty in the arts and in our lives .\nrachel joined beauty matters in 2005 as our apprentice and worked tirelessly to prove herself indispensable , which she did it . part of the fixtures and fittings she would say ! a great all round therapist with a natural flare for nails , waxing , facials and 3d lipo . rachel will greet you with a warm welcome and a nothing is too much trouble attitude , making your visit perfect .\nbeauty is in the eye of the beholder . scruton neglects to portray that beauty lies in truth . a painting doesn ' t necessarily have to portray a conventional homogeneous beauty , but rather one can find beauty in truth , no matter how shocking or grotesque it may appear to the audience . though i believe that some art today are without substance , it is because of consumer culture . if you try to look and understand the meaning behind some of the works of modernist and anarchist in the world of art you will find not just boundless beauty but unassuming truth in human life . i find scruton ' s search for beauty very presumptuous , arrogant , and very bias to a conservative idealism , which is ultimately the very opposite definition of beauty !\nbeauty should be the starting point of everything . \u201cat every level of the human experience , we are looking for the beautiful , something that gives priority to our souls , not just our physical needs , \u201d says gates . \u201cwe drink in nature , we yearn to commune with the beautiful , we crave the sublime , so that\u2019s why the starting point for everything i do is the beautiful , not the practical . \u201d\nbeauty is an everyday thing . it happens everywhere all the time , even in a pile of bricks . i feel sorry for him if needs his beauty to be force fed by a botticelli on a silver tray .\nquick : make a list of the things you need every day . your first thought is probably what\u2019s practical : food , a roof over your head , your health . we value these things so much that we say all human beings deserve them . artist theaster gates ( ted talk : how to revive a neighborhood : with imagination , beauty and art ) wants to add a new item to the list . here , he makes the case for why we should treat beauty as a basic service , and happiness as a metric of success .\nbeautymatters have been bringing you some of the best beauty brands at the best prices for over 10 years . .\nthe beauty in that song was the sorrow for her dead son or husband because of how much she loved him . that would make you feel compassion communion a sense of oneness which is love , beauty . arts just a

after she met the counsellor in 2013 or after the file was changed the following year . the review said it was\nnot clear\nwhy the senior tusla official looked at the original file rather than the correct version amended in 2014 .\nwe are bringing so many wonderful beauty and hair products to ireland so we can all share them together . we ' ve brought you brands like ar457 , ren , butter london . . . oh my goodness , too many to name . . . i think we may have over shopped on this occasion . but hey , what ' s ours is yours and your happiness is what matters here at beautymatters . ie . . . .\ni like it . . . there is beauty in it ! looking at a baby , loosing someone , and falling in love actually made sense in me . an affirmation of old adage that real beauty is in the eye of the beholder .\ni think we are losing beauty and there is a danger that with it , we will lose the meaning of life .\nand if you had asked for the point of that ? you would have learned that beauty is a value , as important as truth and goodness . then in the 20th century , beauty stopped being important . art increasing aimed to disturb and to break moral taboos , it was not beauty but originality , however achieved and at whatever moral cost , that won the prizes .\nart critic and broadcaster matthew collings presented a mischievous guide to beauty from the earliest points in history through to the present day .\ni see beauty in the ugly . its the same thing . this guy see it differently but shouldn ' t speak for everyone\nthey will promote our fantastic events , products and services , including our beauty club and account cards to customers . . . .\nthe truth , as always is somewhere in the middle . however subjective beauty may be there is a universal basis to it . why is a baby - elephant cute while a baby - lizard creepy ? ? we\nlook\nthru filters that we have evolved to host . mass influence is what defines the locus of evolution . its fate is determined by the workability . . . what i mean to say , perhaps 2000years back a puny , baby - faced , male artist was never likely to get a mate as compared to a agressive muscular brut . but things change . today we have something called a bank account ! ! definition of beauty and ' attractive ' change .\nbeauty is an emotion , or a product of emotions . saying beauty exists with the universe devoid of humans is like saying that you would have the concept of a penalty shootout in football , sans the existence of the game itself - a crude example , but you do get the point . there is no beauty in the universe per se . it is you and me who find the vastness of the universe poetic and beautiful .\nthe site lies on the cotswold scarp within the cotswolds area of outstanding natural beauty ( aonb ) adjacent to the a417 road . . . .\ni was so moved by this notion . it put into words something that had been hard for me to articulate over the years i had spent working on highly utilitarian designs for google , youtube , and now facebook . great design solves a real problem and improves people\u2019s lives . it can also be accessed and used with a minimum of confusion and strife . but companies , especially high tech companies , have struggled with whether or not beauty really matters . if you get the two first parts right , won\u2019t people be satisfied ?\nyou\u2019ve already guessed it , the concept of beauty isn\u2019t limited to having high cheek bones , whopper boobs or more timely , that perfect thigh gap . outer beauty does matter , though . it really is as brutally simple as that . telling ourselves it doesn\u2019t is counterproductive - and an outright lie . beauty impacts the course of our careers , the size of our salaries , the attractiveness of our partners - and all too often our own self - esteem . but the term beauty doesn\u2019t only encompass the visual . \u201cif you know and love the entirety of a person - their face , body and soul - the outside beauty perhaps becomes less relevant and a different kind of attractiveness overshadows the rest , \u201d philosopher tobias h\u00fcrter tells life links .\n3 . beauty : this can be resolved by dividing it into 3 categories . * one is\nelegance\n, like the elegance of a good chess game - cunning , intellectual , witty - this is the kind of beauty duchamp describes . * second is banal beauty - think kitsch , koons - its very\nsweet\nbecause it complies completely to being conventionally\npleasant\nto the biased eyes . the banal is predictable , sweet , pleasant , not very individual ( think barbie ) , and thus flat , accessible , blunt , and unchallanging . * third kind of beauty is beauty as revealing otherness : opposite of # 2 . the beauty of infinite particularity , that seems to\narrest\nor\nshift\nthe consciousness ; it maintains a mystery that perpetuates the longer one gaze . it seems to be completely\nitself\nrather than mere imitation or mass - production .\n. art critic waldemar januszczak flew the flag for modern art , as he argued that art today is as interested in beauty as it always has been .\nwilde ' s ideas are very interesting , and i think beauty is underrated , but beauty is a hell of a lot more than just what looks pretty . i personally find many derelict buildings beautiful , and anything that can truly disturb me is also usually beautiful , due to the incredible emotion it evokes .\nan agruement to be made is , holywood , popstars and fasion have taken over the need for beauty . . . in the appetite for this you can see the need for beauty . . . but film and foto do not capture it realy . . . it ' s cheap and lazy . . . .\nthere is in fact tons of beauty , even at times the traditional beauty of scruton , in contemporary art . his presentation feels to me like propaganda against contemporary art . there is a high chance that people who are not actually informed of the artworld of the day would be swayed to a strong opinion against it .\nhehheh . beauty . art . sympathetic but not the same . art can be ugly , but beauty , obviously , cannot . . although beauty is found in chaos , violence and tragedy , as well as harmony , silence , and urltoken day i was playing some coltrane and my friend declared\nthis music is ugly !\n. i was amazed that not everyone could hear what i was hearing . was i just deluded to think coltrane was cool and that i was cooler for listening to him ? turns out , i had learned something about beauty then . it ' s always out there if you ' re willing to see it\na 1 hour long rant about modern art . beauty is not absent from todays world at all , we just made room for some ugly . deal with it .\ntoo simplistic for me . i can ' t believe it just ended without even exploring beauty in a contemporary context . what of janet cardiff ' s forty - part motet ? or olafur eliasson ' s weather project ? there is so much contemporary art out there that explores beauty in such incredible ways ! this guy is an idiot !\nin the 20th century , scruton argues , art , architecture and music turned their backs on beauty , making a cult of ugliness and leading us into a spiritual desert .\nin the 20th century , scruton argues

be passionate about giving great customer service , every time , no matter what . . . .\nbeauty , as with art , will stand the test of time . when the noise of ugliness and talent - less , pretentious , self - serving shit subside , those great works of beauty will still be there to remind us that there is something more to art than causing materials to represent an idea . however interesting and innovative it may be .\ni think what he wants is more humanism and beauty is the result of it . modernists have ruined it all . we need a school of classical architecture in europe immediately !\ntoo simplistic for me . i can ' t believe it just ended without even exploring beauty in a contemporary context . what of janet cardiff ' s forty - part motet ? or olafur eliasson ' s weather project ?

describe the aim of how poetry , art or music . they would have replied , beauty .\ni can see the beauty in his pitiful attempt at clinging on to his disapprobation toward others ' incoherence to the bourgeois aesthetic of ' beauty ' ( which we all know is relative ) who have been seemingly producing incendiary works that apparently challenge the authoritative aspect of what is acceptable and what is permissible as insider art , from an outsider ' s perspective .\nit is not that we are losing beauty , it is that we are homogenizing beauty and it ' s opposite together . we are more and more allowing everything as art , inhibitions are dropped in all fields . it is left to the viewer to chose , the way a gardener would chose among the million of flowers and shrubs which he uses to decorate his surrounding .\nand standard in art these days is all about money . no need to lay it at the feet of the artists . beauty and taste are all in the eye of the beholder .\ncontemporary philosopher roger scruton presents a fascinating argument for the importance of beauty in our art and in our lives , and explores what truly is and is not beautiful , regardless of its beholder .\nlaura came to us in 2009 as our apprentice . laura is a great all round therapist and loves all things beauty . she specialises in lvl and nouveau lashes and gives a great massage too .\nwell , i am reminded of the old question\nif a tree falls in the forest , and no one is there to hear it , does it make a sound ?\nwhat i ' m suggesting is that there is an inherent beauty in the cosmos . . whether we percieve it or not . that beauty ( although its ' perception is in the eye of the beholder , and subjective to our experience of it ) is the essence of the universe and will always be long after the last human dissapears from the earth . beauty is . art on the other hand . , is different . like football would not exist without the players or fans , art , and the appreciation of it is a human product . art is a conduit ; an expression which can reveal beauty . a stained glass masterpiece is beautiful , but loses its ' meaning without the sun . the majesty of the sun is revealed by the art as the beauty of the glass is revealed by the light\nhis precis of the history of theories about beauty , from plato to kant , only served to soften his case . there ' s a reason people don ' t think of the world as\nintrinsically meaningful\nany more : because it isn ' t . he talks approvingly of the beauty to be found in nature , in the ordinary and the everyday . he demonstrates that beauty can be wrought from ugly things , but refuses to accept that modern art can be a testament to all this . i thought he inadvertently made a better case for tracey emin ' s bed than she ever did .\nthe author is right . beauty is objective . factually , light - skinned western europeans are the most beautiful humans . this causes problems for the ugly . salvation for the ugly lies in appreciating absolute beauty in nature and relationships , don ' t whine . as muddy waters put it :\nyou can ' t spend what you haven ' t got , you can ' t lose what you never had\n.\nbut beyond that , the purpose of the novel is to point out the flaws in victorian society . the attacks on marriage , the church , morality , and the blatant homosexual themes were : a ) very very offensive ( wilde was imprisoned for the gay stuff ) and b ) clearly serve a purpose beyond beauty : wilde was pointing out the hypocrisy of his audience . clearly there is more there than beauty .\nalthough none of these qualities fully grasp the complete essence of beauty and no complete definition exists one can peel away the outer layers of the onion and reveal the substratum of aesthetic objects using the aforementioned tools .\nif you love someone , looks are only one part of the package . the beauty of their mind , heart and smile will also be a factor . good thing we can work on these , too .\nwhat do you think is beautiful a content old lady or man or an old lady or man trying trying to look 30 . beauty is in the eye or the face of the beholder he touched on that ,\ni like how scruton suggests that beauty is dead , but i believe that it is not because of two reasons : 1 . beauty is infinite , it is found in an uncountable amount of places , people , nature . . . . . but our appreciation of it is lacking in the western world , so our expression of it sucks . 2 . expression of beauty changes by whatever region you are in the world , and the best work of beauty is found in where it is most appreciated . after all , the dark ages were the greatest period of art , architecture , scientific , and medical achievements for the middle east , and there discoveries in this era continue to benefit the world today . the question is . . . has the ship sunk for the western world only to sprout in china / asia , south america , africa , middle east ?\nthis documentry is useful , rodger scruton takes you on an ego trip and putting up and concluding a common , false , understanding of the world and beauty . the fall is obviously spiritualism , in which he uses as a golden ticket , whenever he approaches a difficult area somewhere in his argument underlies . . the unknown beauty of god . this shows perfectly how not to go about a philosophical undertaking of art and beauty . now if this documentry got you thinking but you have enough sense to know its nonsense , i can recommend two books : the invention of art - larry shiner . art and aesthetics : the insitutional theory of art - george dickie . have fun .\nart should be taken to heart by the meaning of the word art itself ,\ntechn ?\n: which means\nmastery of a craft\npushing the human skills to their limits and creating worlds of beauty inside them .\nthis is what the architectural designs of tamassociati are trying to teach us : that beauty is the first message we give the people for whom we are designing : they are our equals , and we care deeply about their experience .\nbut where\u2019s the line between enjoying beauty and being content with yourself ? what about life links\u2019 isis and all that

not an attempt at rewriting classicism . he would have i ' m sure if he dominated .\nscary conservative , unimaginative documentary on the art viewing and making experience . he didn ' t deal with the fact that artists are trained to respond to , deconstruct , and dismantle the work of their predecessors i . e . duchamp . . . . so scruton , in his bizarre , limited , anachronistic bubble of beauty , fails to acknowledge that the history of beauty evolves , as sure as the after - market prices for great masters works will increase . . . .\ni had watched the mona lisa curse ; it discusses the modern function of art as a commodity or economic functionary as art loses its aesthetic value to its new role as a vehicle as speculative trade objects . money has become the transcendent essence of art . . the correlation between artful rendering of beauty as a spiritual or godlike experience always seems to make the intellectuals uneasy as it defies quantification . the perciever is sensually overwhelmed , awestruck by a sensation which is indescribable in words . he ' s in the sublime . the words theoretical or industrial or even aesthetic cease to apply to the feeling , it ' s a rush but this is about beauty . . if humans suddenly vanished , what is art ? nothing . it ceases to be . but is there still beauty in a universe devoid of humans ? a beauty of cosmic dynamic perfection eternally transmuting even without the judgemental egotism of the puny human mind ? ha ha , what do you think ?\nsomewhere this took a really silly turn for me . i was completely agreeing with him , but then his baseless arguments finally ate away at me . the most basic and powerful element of beauty is that it is subjective . the end .\nconcepts of beauty change over time . technology has shifted social interpretation of beauty to something different just as man ' s relationship to man has changed - utlitarianism has in fact changed how we view the world and one another . art is merely an extension of how man views the world at any point in time . profitability and disregard for humanism is now reflected in modern art . rothko was trying to alert society to its inevitable destruction through the atomic bomb - hence he committed suicide . destruction of all natural resouces bit by bit for the sake of consumerism . we would be wise to give this documentary serious weight or there will in fact , be nothing left to appreciate - much less argue about what is meant by beauty .\nwe must invest in higher quality design systems and standards for visual design . efforts like google\u2019s material design show that companies can prioritize the value of beauty in software design . we must partner with our engineering colleagues to ensure that we make the fit and finish of interfaces something that can be done reasonably fast so it doesn\u2019t fall on the editing floor . and we must understand that beauty is going to mean different things to different people , depending on the problems a given product is looking to address .\nusing the thoughts of philosophers from plato to kant , and by talking to artists michael craig - martin and alexander stoddart , scruton analyses where art went wrong and presents his own impassioned case for restoring beauty to its traditional position at the center of our civilization .\nbeauty can change how people act . people act differently around beautiful things , says gates . \u201cif you\u2019re in an environment where there\u2019s a bunch of waste on the ground , it\u2019s easy not to care for that place , to add your filth to the existing filth . by making a place beautiful , which often means simply peeling back the layers of what is already there , we remove the distractions . we are able to see the existing beauty more clearly , and we are able to start to begin to care . \u201d\na documentary to be watched only for old ladies after sunday service . what makes a work of art is the pursuit of the sublime and the sublime includes both beauty and ugliness . even the most perfect artistic production includes ugliness . the\ndavid\n' s real value as a work of art may be more in the fact that it expresses the frustration to achieve complete beauty ( the ideal ) than in its seemingly perfect features . plato ' s influence has done a lot of evil both in history and in art .\ni agree with scruton ' s premise that beauty is far more important than society today gives it credit for . i myself have thought about\nform follows function\nand how that should not necessarily be the case . i do , however , find scruton ' s idea on what beauty is or can be quite narrow . a favorite recent movie of mine , no country for old men , deals primarily with the ugliness of the world , yet i find it to be an extraordinarily beautiful film . examples like that abound .\nbeauty of form can also be seen in the interaction of simple components . alliteration and anaphora in literature ; cadenza , repetition and nuance in music ; symmetry in the face of a beautiful woman ; the elegance of a mathematical proof are all appreciated through their formal structure .\nit\u2019s irrational , subjective and makes life worth living - the world revolves around beauty , be it our perception of beautiful people or objects . but what is it , really ? we asked some people in the know to find out . ( 27 . 02 . 2015 )\nnow more than ever , beauty is being talked about , invested in , and strived for . as the dresden hygiene museum asks\nwhat is beautiful ?\nin its latest exhibition , dw sheds some light on the perennial question .

beauty is more than just looks and physical features . the way we view ourselves is a decisive factor in how beautiful people think we are - both inside and out . getting a nose job doesn\u2019t automatically make you happier - and there are\ntoday art is nothing but a commodity ( i apologize if i sound like robert hughes ) , but the fact many works of classical art today are bought and sold by the super wealthy mearly on the basis of investment without any regard for the intrinsic\nbeauty\nof the work .\ni disagree with scruton regarding art . he wants art to be aristocratic and exclusive ; he thinks only certain people can be artists and only certain things can be art . he then contradicts himself and says\nbeauty is an ordinary everyday kind of thing . ordinary things made beautiful .\nso beautiful to see someone so sure of something , who totally snubs out anyone else who may find beauty in other things , make himself look like an ass , when in fact it was his last attempt at trying to make a beautiful quality documentary , starring himself , before his retirement .\ni personally do think that beauty is scare in the production of anything in the current world , simply because we live in a utilitarian world that has become very individualistic . most modern artists want to be considered revolutionary , as their focus seems to be more on being recognized for an idea that they invented , instead of simply trying to present the beauty or the essence of something . their art is simply a means to an end , the end being the appreciation of their inventiveness or creativity or randomness by others . i think that a piece of art should be an end in and of itself .\nestablished by natalie pearson in 1995 the salon benefits from over 80 + years of combined experience within the beauty industry . the salon is run by a highly skilled team of eight therapists who all take a huge amount of pride in their work and take every measure to ensure their clients needs come first .\ni must say that i agree with the man . to be surrounded by beauty and coherence in the shape it is presented in is for me a fundamental need . i feel in a way connected with my surroundings and my human nature . i know this sounds pretentious , but i can not explain it other words .\noh it ' s so beautifully well constructed when he opens the film discussing ( and being placed among and interacting with ) ' beauty ' as a relic of the past . it ' s also beautiful how he attributes the birth philosophy to the greeks as if philosophy had never existed within cultures prior 2000 years ago .\n) . i ' m not a big fan of showing off my curves , and i ' ve had some major disagreements with my mother about how i look in my wedding dress ( she thinks i look fat in it ) , and as much as you ' d like to ignore comments like that , it ' s your mom and , well . . . mom ' s opinion matters . anyway , that long story aside , i ' d really like to be comfortable for dancing to our band after dinner , and i couldn ' t say no to this adrianna papell dress as a reception option - & dollar ; 65 ! i would likely have it hemmed to be short . what do you guys think ? it ' s a black tie optional affair , but i ' d dress it up a bit with fun shoes and jewelry .\npeople are awakening to this tyranny of the ugly . we ' re on to the elitists who interpret esoteric meaning in meaningless works by untalented , fatuous hacks hunting for grant money , or who foist clunky , soviet - style architecture onto graceful historic towns to squat there belligerently amidst the beauty like dung in the sistine chapel .\nall the complaints below sadly prove how pointless can it be to speak the truth to those who live from a lie . mentioning the eras of art , definition of the term beauty , even hitler . . . really ? don ' t we all live surrounded by hideous malls , highways , kitsch ? what more evidence do you need ? accusing him for saying that art is an aristocratic value of some kind , while you are the ones perceiving art as something restricted for galleries - because otherwise you wouldn ' t even recognize it , as mentioned . think about it ; why does everyone travel to paris ? to see the\nhistoric center\nright ? you don ' t get a lot of suburbia on your postcards do you ? so forget about the galleries and conceptual art , forget about scruton if you wish it ' s all unimportant , the important thing is that everything is u - g - l - y . pretending to be modern , pretending to be new . . . have you ever seen a modern building which looks good with an aged facade ? neither have i . art has always been a direct image of it ' s society . in this era , it ' s all a big lie . nothing more than a lie .\ni think it ' s sad how deffensive artists are about their point of view . whatever the modern art concept of beauty is , it ' s undeniable that we did lost something of value along the way of revolutionizing the field . a sense of wonder with the object of art per se , not only the idea behind it .\nnot only has art made a cult of ugliness , architecture too has become soulless and sterile and it ' s not just our physical surroundings that have become ugly . our language , our music and our manners are increasing raucous , self - centered and offensive . as though beauty and good taste have no real place in our lives .\nlike in every century , decade and or year there are seasons and cycles to certain artistic inclinations which will predominate over others . at times artists will become more interested in exploring certain realistic or mundane topics for example , at other times the imaginary becomes more relevant , at times the primitive , minimalistic and essential becomes the trend of exploration , at other times maximalism and creating larger - than - life art becomes the focus . in these last 30 years , pop art has predominated in music and in the visual world , but who knows what lies on the horizon . it could be an amalgam of classical art , modern , surrealism , electronic , and even more . basically art follows as many themes as it can explore , it is first and foremost always subject to the ' laws ' of freedom . that ' s why one can never truly pinpoint or discuss on these topics but from a highly personal vantage point which at times can be very narrow in perspective .\nall my points up until now are not to say that i agree with scruton on everything though . indeed , he claims that louis sullivan , through his quote , \u201cform follows function\u201d has facilitated the single largest crime against art and society yet \u2013 modern architecture . i have to disagree with this . i find beauty in modern architecture and completely agree with sullivan\u2019s quote and dislike the idea of someone who has not formally studied architecture or design critiquing a foundational idea , it leaves a bad taste in my mouth . because thus person has not been formally trained , they do not know the purpose or arguments behind that quote or the reasoning for it . i do not think beauty is the goal of all things . function is a goal that can be beautiful and functional , but in our modern society where money rules all , beauty is not always achievable and one must do what they can with what they have \u2013 and there is beauty in that . scruton claims tnat things that aren\u2019t beautiful but have function soon lose function because they are ugly . this is an interesting thought to me and i do not have a response to this . it is something that i must mull over and consider , it is incredibly interesting and i am sure i will watch this video many more times through my life . i can see this influencing my design ethic for the future .\nwhile watching the video , i could not help but think that the movement from beauty as aim of art to originality as the aim , began around the time of the renaissance with humanization of art . the way i see it , the more we humanize and focus on how movement and all other artistic elements are seen by the artist , we move further away from god , or spirituality at all . we\u2019ve gone from one end of the spectrum ( medieval times ) to the other ( postmodern , shock art ) . as evidence of this idea , is the quote , \u201c\u2026through the pursuit of beauty\u2026 we also come to understand our own nature as spiritual beings . \u201d ( scruton , 3 : 00 ) additionally , the video made me think of how much humans rely on structure and things that are larger and more important that ourselves . i believe it necessary to have some order and have something to be achieved \u2013 beauty . without the pursuit of something higher than ourselves , we walk around without purpose making this meaningless art .\nas a graphic novelist , maquette sculptor and so called ' modern ' artist i don ' t like being called a village idiot by you or by anyone because i don ' t conform to what renaissance era definition of beauty you think we all should enjoy . the 20th century was about freeing art for expression , not just conforming to the church .\nyes to scruton . i don ' t want to pretend that i admire or even understand why a urinal could be considered as art . i see it to be utterly ironic that common things by their nature of being common , can now pass as something sublime , and thus something worthy of admiration . i personally think that to be called an artist nowadays wouldn ' t give you enough merit or satisfaction in pursuing such career since any man can make a straight line and declare it as a fine work of art . frankly speaking and i bet majority will agree , one could only feel pride in their work if they know that they are cut above from the rest - that is if their works are done not only with originality and creativity , but also with expertise and skills cultivated and honed through years of serious studies ( unless they ' re exceptionally gifted ! ) . it ' s very sad that not everyone could be doctors and save lives , but everyone could be artists and pretend to save lives ."]}

actors from the migrant community , the lawless offers a rare glimpse into the class turmoil of 1940s america .\na doll\u2019s house opens on christmas eve . nora helmer enters her well - furnished living room\u2014the setting of the entire play\u2014carrying several packages . torvald helmer , nora\u2019s husband , comes out of his study when he hears her arrive . he greets her playfully and affectionately , but then chides her for spending so much money on christmas gifts . their conversation reveals that the helmers have had to be careful with money for many years , but that torvald has recently obtained a new position at the bank where he works that will afford them a more comfortable lifestyle .\nare not all outdoors , but they are the majority that were changed or added . the beginning is even a change by losey . christine ( delphine seyrig ) and nora are talking inside a restaurant about their respective relationships . ibsen makes it very clear the way he designed the play about the two women ' s relationships with men without this . apparently losey felt the audience too dumb to realize things people had realized for almost 100 years in the play . losey then utilizes the norwegian outdoors that is very beautiful covered in white . it very well could have cost quite a bit to film in norway . therefore , the use of the outdoors could have been forced on losey . whoever made the decision to film outdoors in effect reshaped the whole play . scenes like krogstad ( edward fox ) and nora meeting under a bridge outside are written in ; and this alters everything , by rewriting the script . whether jane insisted or modernization was the aim , the absence of\nlittle squirrel\nreferences are apparent . there are quite a few less of these sayings in losey ' s adaptation . the reason seems to point towards a modern view of the play just as filming the outdoors might .\nthe film\u2019s best achievement is its casting . claire bloom , in every way right for the part , still seems too vacant to justify her character\u2019s ultimate action ; but anthony hopkins\u2019s smooth torvald is consistently strong . sir ralph richardson is an endearing dr . rank , but not quite crusty enough ; he\u2019s good in the same way that an appetizer is before the main feast : his performance left me eager to watch trevor howard play the role in losey\u2019s film . anna massey is arresting as mrs . linde , and dame edith evans , though scarce , is a solid nursemaid . the day is won , however , by denholm elliott\u2019s krogstad , an alternately pathetic and malevolent character whose balance is so deftly maintained by elliott that he emerges as the film\u2019s most affecting , sympathetic and interesting persona . this is enough to save the film for the viewer who enjoys fine acting , but the contributions of the picture are so negligible as to raise the question why it was even made , unless as a gift from elkins to his wife .\ndirected by joseph losey . with stanley baker , micheline presle , hardy kruger uk 1958 , 16mm , b / w , 90 min .\nwhat is real and what is fiction ? faced with writer ' s block with his novel , lewis fielding turns to a film script about a woman finding herself after his wife elizabeth returns from baden . . . see full summary \u00bb\nwith a feminist nora , an icy torvald , and a drunken dr rank , this adaptation perhaps tries too far to be a film version of the classic ibsen play , setting scenes before and outside of the play ( such as nora ' s loan and christina ' s past ) rather than keeping strictly to the text .\ninto film format . the addition of scenes , the acting by jane fonda and david warner , and many other things contributed to a movie that was far away from the intended play ' s meaning .\ncolumbia\u2019s antinuclear movie resulting from the merger of fonda\u2019s and gray\u2019s projects , which finally went into production in february 1978 with a new script cowritten by the film\u2019s director james bridges ( talbot and zheutlin 321 ; bridges ; gray , cook and bridges ) , balanced the critique of unregulated and ruthlessly self - interested corporations with a strong emphasis on the plight of women in a man\u2019s world . fonda\u2019s role as a tv reporter in the silkwood project had been inserted into the story of gray\u2019s version of \u201cthe china syndrome\u201d . instead of a team of documentary filmmakers , now it is fonda\u2019s reporter and her camera crew investigating an incident at a nuclear power plant . at the same time , the story of lemmon\u2019s plant supervisor has certain parallels to that of karen silkwood . his investigation into the unsafe construction of his plant and his contacts with the media lead to the attempted murder , in a staged car accident , of a member of fonda\u2019s tv crew who is on the way to deliver the plant supervisor\u2019s evidence to a public hearing .\na psychologist once remarked : \u201cafter your namesake slammed the doll ' s house door , i bet her first words were \u2018oh god , i ' ve forgotten my keys ! \u2019\u201d this suggestion inspired some embattled evenings . if that cynic had a clue to nora ' s key ring , there were two possible interpretations . some of us agreed that she might evenutally need her keys to collect a few papers crucial to divorce . but of course the opposition claimed that she would hate her new freedom \u2014 hence the keys would be , necessary for rushing back and locking herself in .\nwhen torvald discovers that nora had borrowed money illegally , it is shown that he agrees with society . he agrees that nora should be oppressed because she is a woman . he does not support her or thank her for going to such lengths to save his life . he criticizes her , calls her a miserable creature , a hypocrite , a liar , and a thoughtless woman . in the garland film , torvald shouts very loudly and calls her a stupid woman . in the losey film , torvald is surly in his putdown of nora , and he proceeds to oppress her further by telling her she will live in his house only to pretend to be his loving wife , that she will not be allowed to raise the children , and not allow her to read a letter from krogstad .\nthough the losey film is ferociously flawed , i recommend it for jane fonda ' s performance . beforehand , it seemed fair to wonder if she could personify someone from the past ; her voice , inflections , and ways of moving have always seemed totally contemporary . but once again she proves herself to be one of our finest actresses , and she ' s at home in the 1870 ' s , a creature of that period as much as of ours .\nthe trout is a meditative revisiting of eva , with isabelle huppert now playing a self - conscious 1980s femme fatale and jeanne moreau in a cameo role . instead of a writer , this time the male prey is a banker , and instead of decadent old venice , losey stages the battlefield for the war between the sexes in the brave new world of international finance in switzerland and in tokyo . huppert plays a precocious young woman plucked by a married financier from the obscurity of a trout farm in the swiss countryside . losey reportedly cast huppert in part because of her ability to play comedy and tragedy simultaneously , and indeed , the film is both serious drama and the blackest of comedies .\nconsiderably . losey succeeded in only making a new movie from a great play . it seemed almost like the way the japanese imitated american cars when they first attempt to . they tried to copy the american cars to their tastes . they kept on trying , and now they have succeeded . maybe if losey kept on trying , he could have moved more over to other ' s tastes and not so much his . maybe it would have been in ibsen ' s tastes .\nas the play and garland ' s film opens , nora is seen entering er house with packages for christmas . she busily takes off her outerwear and starts unwrapping ackages . in losey ' s version , this occurs after some preliminary background scenes . the first words spoken by torvald demean nora with nicknames such as little lark and little squirrel , as if he is more of a pet to him than a wife . he then goes on to demean nora about her spending habits , calling her his little spendthrift and little featherhead and telling her ,\nthat is like a oman !\nin the garland film , nora makes squeaking animal sounds , as if she really is a squirrel or even a dog doing tricks for a treat or , in this case , money . she waltzes over and sits in torvald ' s lap , giving him sad puppy dog eyes and baby talking to him , hoping that begging will get her what she wants .\nfirst of all , the scene between dr . rank and nora ( dr . rank confesses his love for her ) were depicted differently in the two films . garland ' s depiction of the play showed this scene somewhat more awkwardly than it was depicted in losey ' s film , as well as ibsen ' s original play . garland ' s translation of the scene showed more chemistry between dr . rank ( ralph richardson ) and nora claire bloom ) than i believed ibsen pointed out in his play . at times watching the scene , i found myself embarrassed for dr . rank because he was so forward . however , losey ' s film followed more closely to the play in my opinion . dr . rank ( trevor howard ) told nora ( jane fonda ) that he was in love with her somewhat subtly .\nin the spring of 1975 , when the vietnam war ended , fonda returned to work with a new sense of purpose . she wanted to make films that were \u201cstylistically mainstream , \u201d she said , \u201cbut with a gender slant . \u201d between 1975 and 1988 , she starred in thirteen motion pictures , several of which she also co - produced . a partial list includes \u201cfun with dick and jane\u201d ( 1977 ) , \u201cjulia\u201d ( 1977 ) , \u201ccoming home\u201d ( for which she was awarded the best actress oscar in 1979 ) , \u201cthe china syndrome\u201d ( 1979 ) , \u201cnine to five\u201d ( 1980 ) , \u201con golden pond\u201d ( 1981 ) , and the television movie \u201cthe dollmaker\u201d ( 1984 ) , for which she won an emmy . in those years , she and hayden also joined forces to support various causes\u2014the returning vietnam veterans , native american rights , women\u2019s rights . fonda\u2019s activities made her more \u201creal\u201d to some fans , but others , including several of her male directors , wished that she would just shut up and act . joseph losey , who directed fonda in a 1973 film version of ibsen\u2019s \u201ca doll\u2019s house , \u201d for example , complained that she had \u201clittle sense of humor\u201d and \u201cwas spending most of her time working on her political speeches , instead of learning her lines . \u201d\nmiss barrymore ' s conception of nora is sound . she is the frank , irresponsible , volatile , frivolous , doll -

war filmmaking landscape that perceived him as both a political subversive and an industrial outsider . he mirrored his blacklisted contemporaries jules dassin and cy endfield by resurrecting his career in europe , where he compiled an admittedly uneven , yet intermittently brilliant , filmography . losey\u2019s films challenged both ideological and stylistic sensibilities . renouncing films offering easy solutions , losey came to feel that films \u201ccan only provide a stimulation which i think at its best is some sort of complete artistic statement , which therefore is form and emotion , which will stimulate the people seeing , hearing , absorbing it , to further thought and investigation . \u201d in an era when many of his past hollywood contemporaries like elia kazan , nicholas ray , orson welles , and fred zinnemann were either concluding their filmmaking careers or experiencing difficulties securing funding , losey remained prolific and made a film almost annually until his death . if anything , his vision to bridge the gap between commerce and high art was , and to a large extent still is , before its time .\nthe dialogue of the film is , on the surface , quite faithful to ibsen : but it has been injected with all kinds of innuendo to underscore\u2014to the point of obviousness\u2014its similarity to the contemporary dialectic of women\u2019s liberation . never mind that ibsen\u2019s play is about the state of capitalistic marriage , not about the oppression of women : women\u2019s lib is now where the money\u2019s at . thus we get an unbearably protracted final confrontation between nora and torvald , which becomes less an agon than a belabored philosophical debate , emphasizing again and again its similarity to the language of today\u2019s feminism , belying its 19th - century scandinavian milieu . similarly , the film\u2019s mise - en - sc\u00e8ne is perfectly evocative of a norwegian household in wintertime over a hundred years ago , but the rich color with which it is photographed lends a feeling of unreality and a softness which belies the severity of ibsen\u2019s conception .\n. nora is the model wife and mother . in desperation , forgery is committed and destruction risked in order to save her husband\u0092s health . as nora is transformed , one of theatre and film\u0092s most dramatic gestures occurs \u0096 she closes the door on her family to begin in a new life alone\nin fonda\u2019s early performances , the tension between her drive and her desire to be seen as a conventional , unthreatening girl is clear . in her first film , \u201ctall story\u201d ( 1960 ) , in which she plays a marriage - minded college cheerleader , she has a stridency that suggests a wildness of character which she herself doesn\u2019t want to acknowledge . fonda\nall in all , we can perhaps view these two works as the basis for what good and bad film is . each director is encouraged to bring his or her own ideas to the film ; however , sometimes it is a smashing success ; and other times it is a miserable failure . here , audiences were able to witness both .\nthe state department ' s purchase of a child went forth led to a commission from the national youth association \u2013 then headed by lyndon johnson \u2013 for a documentary highlighting nya ' s efforts to provide work and job training for young people in order to prevent poverty . once again the as - yet inexperienced losey found himself working with stellar talent , this time with veteran activist filmmakers willard van dyke and ralph steiner .\nin garland\u2019s film , claire bloom portrays the energetic and somewhat ignorant nora helmer . at first glance , bloom appears too old for the character , therefore making her youthful prancing a bit awkward . however as the movie unfolds , she expertly displays the manipulation underlying nora\u2019s flirtatiousness and girlish ways . this sense of scheming intelligence throughout the film makes her decision in the end seem believable . a woman who could discover and use her husband\u2019s weaknesses and affections like she could can believably make the unconventional decision to leave him when she discovers his true nature .\nonce \u201c33 variations\u201d closed , after eighty -

screen , romance is not apparent in losey ' s adaptation . nora and torvald never actually seem to love each other . fonda portrays nora as needing torvald only for money . torvald seems only to need nora for ego satisfaction . losey somehow forgets that ibsen intended these two characters to in fact be in love . he wanted them in love for the wrong reasons , though . it is nora ' s realization of why she was loving torvald , of course , is left to rethink his love . losey never makes it clear that the two are dependant on each other at first because of their love .\nmarriage takes a sour turn when a middle -

villain gabriel ( bogarde ) . the adventure has something to do with diamonds , but it should come as no surprise that the plot comes second to the fabulous production design by richard mcdonald , plus losey ' s typically eccentric visual style here accented with a pop - art nod to the swinging ' 60s . the film achieves a truly strange kind of high camp in its attempt to satirize the source material , which itself originated as a lighthearted spoof of the crime - fighting adventures of 007 and his ilk .\nthe main character of this film is nora helmer , a simple woman married to a working man , the straight but authoritarian torvald . years before , they married out of love . now , between nora ' s desire for freedom and torvald ' s strictness , serious sexual friction is threatening their relationship , including actions from their past which could lead to tragedy .\njane fonda is a 1970s nora , not as flighty as other actresses have played her , but still as determined in the final scenes . david warner is an emotionless torvald , which makes his awakening to the realities of his marriage hit home , while trevor howard is a less cultured rank than ralph richardson in the other 1973 version of the play .\nhe began distancing himself from genre films ( the type of films typically exalted by auteur critics ) and instead became increasingly associated with literary adaptations and art -

hungry , career - minded and grumpy one . nora seems not to connect with torvald as expected from the play because of these attributes . nora is also portrayed early on as being able to rely on herself .\na well -

minute fight with him . david warner , who played torvald helmer , also never seems to grasp the psychological aspect of the character . yes , he lords over the household and screams and rages when he discovers nora\u2019s forgery , but he never fully shows the impact of his wife\u2019s desertion . when she closes the door , he looks shocked but not heart -

five cents . he chases the girl he ' s infatuated with , and encounters colorful characters along the way .\nthis act of comedy through reversal of roles is also evident in the work of charlie chaplin . in the immigrant , chaplin\u2019s tramp character is a foreigner moving to america . his outfit illustrates his destitution : his clothes do not fit him correctly , which indicates that they are old or that he just found them somewhere and started wearing them . americans in the movie think very little of him\u2014the authorities on the boat are quick to assume that he stole someone\u2019s money , and the waiter in america constantly shoots him dirty , distrusting looks . yet in the end , the tables are turned , and his role of being a poor , unfortunate man is reversed . chaplin uses an american\u2019s tip to pay for his and his girlfriend\u2019s food . the waiter then becomes fuming mad at the american for unintentionally not leaving any tip , which puts the tramp in the position of advantage because he at least left a small gratuity . he also cures his condition of loneliness by finding a woman from his boat to america and marrying her .\nthe 30s saw roach extending the length of his laurel & hardy pieces to feature length since shorts were becoming less profitable . roach\u2019s wikipedia entry notes that roach\u2019s focus constantly shifted ; by 1940 , even laurel & hardy were cast aside in favor of \u201csophisticated farces\u201d and \u201crugged action fare . \u201d by 1955 , roach had retired from active producing . a testament to the ephemeral nature of hollywood fame , his 14 . 5 acre studio , nicknamed the \u201clot of fun , \u201d was torn down in 1963 to make space for industry .\nwhile at an amusement park , two men try to win the heart of a young lady . they compete with each other while attempting to find her runaway dog , and they race to ask her mother ' s permission to take her up in a hot air balloon .\ncast : harold lloyd [ the boy ] , bebe daniels [ the girl ] , snub pollard [ the valet ] , fred c . newmeyer [ ah nix , the chinese cook ] , helen gilmore [ the girl\u2019s mother ] , noah young [ a big pirate ] , sammy brooks [ a small pirate ] , charles e . stevenson [ the servant ] , marie mosquini\nwith simultaneously hilarious and nerve - wracking hazardous stunts were lloyd\u2019s trademark specialty . such stunts could not take place onstage in a play or vaudeville act ; it would be too difficult and expensive to set up . it is a prime example of a humorous scene that would not be possible without the medium of cinema , which lloyd knew full well how to use to its maximum potential .\nas his recurring character , the boy , harold lloyd has come to be known as a uniquely cinematic talent . unlike his peers with backgrounds in vaudeville acting\u2014most notably charlie chaplin and buster keaton\u2014lloyd was \u201ca product of the film industry\u201d ( haroldlloyd . com ) . according to his official website , \u201clloyd learned to use the camera the way other comics used a bowler hat or a funny walk . \u201d one might argue that as a promotional tool for the estate of harold lloyd , the website might just be making unfounded claims to make lloyd look better . yet there is credence to its claim . consider lloyd\u2019s famous comic image from\non easy street , chaplin\u2019s comedy of role reversal manifests in a different way . a silly weakling of a man signs up to become a police officer because he has no job and needs money , and he somehow manages to put criminals in jail by luck . we know that the tramp cannot defeat a big burly goon in honest hand - to - hand combat , which makes it all the more funny when he suddenly thinks to use the gas in the street light lamps to knock the troublemaker unconscious . essentially by accident , a goofball becomes a city hero and respected citizen , which is funny because it is unexpected .\nis one of the last opportunities to see lloyd paired against his longtime leading lady bebe daniels . daniels , who was already part of roach ' s stable of actors ( after being hired for $ 50 a week at age 14 ) , made over 140 one - and two - reelers with lloyd . but their collaboration came to an end one night when daniels , roach and lloyd were having dinner and cecil b . demille approached their table and asked if she ' d like to be in his movies instead . daniels demurred , saying she wouldn ' t move until her contract with roach was up . but as soon as it was , demille signed her for $ 1000 a week - - first appearing in\n, in particular , contains a lot of interesting social commentary . before getting to that , however , it\u2019s important to get a summary glance of the essential storyline . a well - to - do playboy awakens from his bachelor party to find out that his wife - to - be and her mother know about his shenanigans . the shrewish mother coerces her daughter into postponing the marriage and taking a trip to the canary islands . the boy cannot tolerate failure , and so plans to meet his fianc\u00e9 there . on the ship to the islands , the boy dreams that he is abducted by a boatload of female pirates who have him do chores and threaten to make him walk the plank . when he wakes up , the boy finds his fianc\u00e9 and is a changed man , no longer willing to lose out on a wife just because of her bossy mother .\na growing source of silent era film information . this listing is from the progressive silent film list by carl bennett . copyright \u00a9 1999 -

he learns them well . but the novel suggests that his success in the frozen north is not merely a matter of learning the ways of the wild ; rather , buck gradually recovers primitive instincts and memories that his wild ancestors possessed , which have been buried as dogs have become civilized creatures . the technical term for what happens to buck is atavism\u2014the reappearance in a modern creature of traits that defined its remote forebears . london returns to this theme again and again , constantly reminding us that buck is \u201cretrogressing , \u201d as the novel puts it , into a wilder way of life that all dogs once shared . \u201che was older than the days he had seen and the breaths he had drawn , \u201d we are told . \u201che linked the past with the present , and the eternity behind him throbbed through him in a mighty rhythm to which he swayed as the tides and seasons swayed . \u201d buck even has occasional visions of this older world , when humans wore animal skins and lived in caves , and when wild dogs hunted their prey in the primeval forests . his connection to his ancestral identity is thus more than instinctual ; it is mystical . the civilized world , which seems so strong , turns out to be nothing more than a thin veneer , which is quickly worn away to reveal the ancient instincts lying dormant underneath . buck hears the call of the wild , and london implies that , in the right circumstances , we might hear it too .\nwalk back into the log cabin and open the front door . uh oh ! a grizzly bear !\npugs , many pugs , and snow , a lot of snow

to the pilot dangling from a tree . he\u2019s asleep . you\u2019ll need to find some way to get him on the radio . go back and look inside the cockpit .\ni bought the paperback of cakes in space , but have also seen the hardback version in my library ( on the few occasions it\u2019s been on the shelves ) and both are wonderful . the paperbacks are illustrated in black and white as you can see , but they\u2019re no less fantastic because of this . the shading and depth allows them to have just as much appeal as the coloured ( orange toned ) versions in the hardback .\nwalk towards the front end of the train and you\u2019ll receive a phone call from the colonel saying someone has been looking for you . youki will find an arm in the snow . pull it out to find out it\u2019s oscar . he\u2019s

- ordinates to get there .\nwhat a bonkers book this is ! if you enjoy fiction to it\u2019s highest degree , mad twists and turns in a story and loads of exciting and unusual characters , then cakes in space is the book for you . it reads slightly younger than pugs of the frozen north , but could still happily be enjoyed by children of a wide age range and adults too ( i certainly enjoyed it ) . astra is a fantastic character with heart and guts , huge personality . in fact this book is packed with aliens and robots and other strange creatures that you can\u2019t help but fall in love with . the combination of philip reeve\u2019s descriptions and sarah mcintyre\u2019s drawings you get to know and love each person or thing you come across . i even had huge fondness for little mammoth , who doesn\u2019t do a lot , but is a gorgeous ongoing presence through the whole book .\nfor the next week , proceeds from kimya dawson\u2019s albums on bandcamp will go to the family of charleena lyles .\nyet another wonderful addition to the reeves and mcintyre duo and expelling the myth that ' there are no good books for younger children ' . when shen finds himself abandoned upon a frozen sea along with 66 pugs , he is unsure of his fate . fortunately , he encounters sika and her family . she agrees to look after the dogs so long as they can be part of a sledging competition in which the winner is granted their heart ' s desire . as always , these pages are packed with wonderful silliness , from sea monste\nsarah mcintyre\u2019s illustrations weave through the story beautifully , adding an additional dimension to the tale . they are detailed , crazy and funny just like the story itself ! the hardback versions of their books have added colour . not too much , but just soft gentle tones that reflect the environment of the tale . a soft minty green wafts through the pages and makes you feel that cold icy air .\nthus far , my experience with philip reeve has mainly been reading the larklight series two or three times . this is also a charming book full of confidently offbeat characters and a realistic sense of the importance friendship , belonging , and doing the right thing have to the target audience . shipwrecked by the sudden freezing of the sea , shen finds himself alone and saddled with 66 pugs that the captain had said would sell in like hot pies . he

lists from the halliwell ' s film\u2026\nwhile the two lives that buck leads stand in stark contrast to each other , this contrast does not go unchallenged throughout the novel . his life with judge miller is leisurely , calm , and unchallenging , while his transition to the wilderness shows him a life that is savage , frenetic , and demanding . while it would be tempting to assume that these two lives are polar opposites , events later in the novel show some ways in which both the wild and civilization have underlying social codes , hierarchies , and even laws . for example , the pack that buck joins is not anarchic ; the position of lead dog is coveted and given to the most powerful dog . the lead dog takes responsibility for group decisions and has a distinctive style of leadership ; the main factor in the rivalry between buck and spitz is that buck sides with the less popular , marginal dogs instead of the stronger ones . buck , then , advocates the rights of a minority in the pack\u2014a position that is strikingly similar to that of his original owner , the judge , who is the novel\u2019s most prominent example of civilization .\nthe race to the top of the world ! it

popular amongst one and all . this was also perhaps one of the first instances of a film earning an acronym for itself .\na couple of years ago , author gautam chintamani had come up with a fabulous book \u2013 the loneliness of being rajesh khanna \u2013 dark star . the book , in one word , was \u2018brilliant\u2019 . it had thrown open so many facets of rajesh khanna\u2019s personal and professional life that it was tough to put it down . hence , when i realized that the author had now come up with another book , this time around qayamat se qayamat tak , i really wanted to check out what he had to offer . unlike many other classics from the past , the mansoor khan directed film hasn\u2019t been dissected to a great extent . yes , it has been spoken about , but not analysed !\naamir ko aamir nahi aamir sir bolo pehle srk fans , phir respect se baat karo aamir sir ke bare me . he is the only rular of bollywood . samjhe .\nthis film is truly remarkable , a love story which catches the essence of romeo and juliet , raj - aamir khan falls in love with the daughter of a rival family reshmi - juhi chawla , their love for each other means more bloodshed . their fathers despise each other and do not want this relationship but raj and reshmi are both determined and do not listen to their fathers , an emotional story , lovely songs - especially aye mere humsifar - this film will go down in history of indian movies . an epic tale , which leads to the ultimate conclusion - but raj and reshmi are finally together . lets let the sun go down and begin another journey - qayamat se qayamat tak - a tragic and epic tale of two lovers brought together by fate . a must see\neveryone knows that aamir had played a child actor in yaadon ki baarat . ashutosh gowariker paid tribute to this fact , when he inserted a scene from the movie in swades , where aamir as a child so innocently sang the title song . but many think qayamat se qayamat tak was actually aamir\u2019s adult debut \u2013 which is wrong . aamir had , in fact , played the role of a rebellious college student in ketan mehta\u2019s hard hitting drama , holi , which incidentally also starred ashutosh . before that , he also made a 40 - minute silent film called paranoia . there was another film that he signed before qsqt , that could only be released after the success of qsqt . it was a little known revenge drama called raakh , for which aamir received the national award \u2013 special jury category .\n{\nsource\n: 2 ,\nsource _ id\n:\n95\n,\nobject _ type\n: 2 ,\nid\n:\n95\n,\nstatus\n:\n0\n,\ntitle\n:\nqayamat se qayamat tak\n,\ntrackcount\n:\n6\n,\ntrack _ ids\n:\n837 , 838 , 839 , 840 , 841 , 842\n,\nobjtype\n: 2 ,\nshare _ url\n:\n\\ / album \\ / qayamat -

milind approached the musicians that made a huge difference to the songs of the film . the duo had their favourite set of musicians contributing to the score and this list included some of the best in the trade such as kawas lord , homi mullan ( percussion ) , viju shah ( keyboards ) , shayam raj ( sporano sax ) , raju singh and sunil kaushik ( electric guitar ) ( electric guitar ) , tony vaz and ramesh iyer ( bass ) and dubey ( dholak ) . with the advent of synthesised sounds in the mid 1980s and the general decay in the quality of music most of these musicians rarely got a score that would push the envelope but here they knew that they were on to something . but the enduring impact that qayamat se qayamat tak\u2019s music would have on hindi cinema was still some distance away .\nproduced by the man behind dazzling entertainers like tumsa nahi dekha , teesri manzil , yaadon ki baarat , hum kisise kum nahin -

office , the lukewarm response to the film\u2019s music ended up being a common factor of doubt across the array of prospective buyers . they questioned the ending , debated over the title but simply couldn\u2019t get over the music which most felt was poor when compared to typical nasir hussain productions . this was still a time when a distributor\u2019s word could seal the fate of films and although nasir hussain was still a revered figure , a film from his banner with what they called thanda or lukewarm music was an anomaly too conspicuous to ignore . in spite of some air time on radio and an official launch by rishi kapoor , the music was still to hit the bull\u2019s eye but it was one of the trials that a close friend of nasir hussain finally saw what the world was yet to witness . shammi kapoor and nasir husain were close friends and the star whose career was practically resurrected by the filmmaker told him that no one could stop the film or its music . but the biggest compliment that the music got was from the man who could have been the one composing it .\nat the time when the music of qayamat se qayamat tak was being created the format of recording was also undergoing a transition from mono to stereo and this was one of the first few films with stereophonic sound . while recording on multi - tracks gave the music director the freedom to record the song and music separately , the singer still had to sing the full song as option of plugging in a part or cutting and pasting portions or even effects such as pitch - correction were a few years away . most of the songs were recorded over a couple of days with the rhythm and strings on one and the vocals on the second day . in some cases such as gazab ka hai din the entire song was recorded in a single day . while anand - milind , mansoor and nasir hussain were on the same page for most of the recording the only time the three differed was during the recording of the lullaby kahe sataye . milind often wonders that the tune wasn\u2019t done justice to keeping the short duration of the song in mind . \u201cit was such a sweet melody and i wanted to record a full song , \u201d recalls the younger brother but anand is quick to add that nasir sahab wanted to keep it as is . mansoor , on the other hand , remembers his father toying with the idea of a song but he wanted to go a step ahead and keep a threadbare version with just alka yagnik humming the song without any music . interestingly this is one of his favourite things about the film , which ironically enough is also one of the few things he regrets not doing right and given half a chance this would perhaps be the only thing he\u2019d like to change about the film .\net me unravel an absolutely delightful kannada track , endendu ninnanu , that anand milind ripped off oh - so - blatantly to compose their 1992 track , ' bin tere kuchh bhi ' from the govinda starrer , ' jaan se pyaara ' . the original is by the composer duo rajan nagendra , one of the most talented composers from karnataka and was featured in the 1974 rajkumar starrer , ' eradu kanasu ' .\nto phir amir fans kyun ro rahe ho . pata chal jayega saal ke end mein . amir chun chun ke script lekar film banata hai . with out which is he is useless . srk fans hokar bhi kehta hoon ce 3idiots se acha na hokar bhi use phad diya . bachu samjha srk king hai . 3idiots didn\u2019t face any movies for 3weeks but ce faced so much movies every week . that\u2019s the value of urltoken thing srk does that amir can never do is to enter and win billions of heart . he is the hero of billions of hearts not for you mindless amir fans .\nfor regular itwofs visitors not familiar with kannada film music . . . does the names rajan nagendra ring a bell ? check out nadeem shravan page , listing no . 28 ! the plot of ' jaan se pyaara ' was a lift too . from the 1985 jackie chan - samo hung starrer , ' long de xin ' ( called ' heart of the dragon ' in its english release ) . samo hung plays jackie chan ' s mentally retarded brother , while govinda perhaps insisted on playing both the roles himself . . . these indian heroes and their fetish for double roles . . . !\nback then , the local grocery shop sold something known as jolly sweets - - something along the lines of willie wonka ' s golden tickets concealed in a candy wrapper . only instead of a trip to chocolate factory , the coupon would get us a free postcard of qsqt ( or shahenshah and later maine pyaar kiya ) . i accumulated an entire stack of its postcards . when i met juhi to interview her role as producer with phir bhi dil hai hindustani and to compile a list of her pick of the best - looking actors in hindi cinema , i lightly mentioned how her pigtails were a huge hit among schoolgirls when qsqt came out and how i hated not being part of the ' thing ' since i had a boy cut . her response was a giggle mixed in disbelief and delight . she ' ll probably react the same way if i tell her how even after 25 years , ' mazaa aa raha hai , kasam se . '\nbut it has been worked upon so well that its really hard to say that its inspired ! very unanand - milindlike ! there is such a huge difference between the two but there are a few give - aways too . to start with , the original is neil diamond ' s ' play me ' . in the hindi song there is a slight twist which the singer gives in the second line ( gazab ka hai din is sung normally , while the second line ' yeah deewanapan ' has a mild twist in the word deewanapan ! ) . play me has a similar twist in line 2 - ' i one day woke up to find ' , the twist at the word ' to find ' ( listen to this part from 00 : 24 : 0 ) . also , the ' tum ho akele , hum bhi akele , maza aa raha hai , kasam se ' is almost exactly there in the english number - listen from point 01 : 10 : 0 onwards !\nlol , naya karta hai . har aamir fans ka common dialogue hai . jab kam films kiya ho , jyaada flops ho , to yahi baat to bolna padega na . haan naya kiya aamir pehle cheapest south remake karke jisko sallu , akki follow kar rahein hain . waah ! kya class hain amir ka ! aur iska fans bol rahein hain ce crap hain . jab ghajini dekhi thi tabhi tumhari class kahan gayi thi ? jab 90\u2019s ki most romantic story flop ho gayi to amir sahab soche ye sab nahi hoga abhi desh bhakti movie nikalte hain kise pata kab hit ho jaye , uske baad kya ghanta different kiya amir . jab 3idiots success hui to talash kyun nahi hui ? abhi tak ek bhi real villain wala movie nahi kar paya amir . see srk\u2019s different roles in movies cdi , swades , mnik , don , rnbdj , ra one , at last ce ( comedian ) . aur kitna different chahiye ? ek baat samajh lo , log sirf amir ki film dekhne jate hain aur wohi log film jaate hain srk ki acting dekhne ke liye . because it was already decided by the film freternity who is the most powerful actor lol .\nbest known for musical blockbusters , legendary filmmaker nasir husain also wrote dialogues for his films . his words were true to the syntax of the timesthey were written in , whether it was formunimjiorpaying guestin the mid - 1950s or forjo jeeta wohi sikanderin the \u201990s\nwhile mansoor had a \u2018bigger role\u2019 to play in the dialogues for jo jeeta \u2026 , in that he would often write the scenes in english , it was husain who adapted the scenes and gave them his own flavour . this is true of the film\u2019s title as well . mansoor gave husain \u2018winner takes all\u2019 as the film\u2019s title , which husain correctly interpreted as jo jeeta wohi sikandar . \u2018it was his title in that sense , \u2019 said mansoor . \u2018but there were lots of scenes like , \u201c uss thaapar ka paapad bana ke aaoonga \u201d where it was his flair . \u2019\nwhile on the subject of titles , mansoor also told me that qsqt was initially titled or had the working title , \u2018 nafrat ke waaris \u2019 . this was an offshoot from one of the dialogues in the film when raj has a confrontation with randhir singh . in the heat of the moment , raj tells randhir singh , \u2018 main aur rashmi aap dono ke nafrat ke waaris banney ko taiyaar nahin ( rashmi and i don\u2019t wish to inherit the hatred between you and my father ) . \u2019 consequently , aamir , nuzhat and mansoor would suggest titles like , \u2018 daraar \u2019 and \u2018 nafrat ke waaris \u2019 .\nwhile husain\u2019s literary and old - world sensibilities shone with qsqt , his ability to enunciate the grammar of a generation entirely different from his own ( he was over sixty - five when he wrote the dialogues of jjws ) is what added to the overall appeal of jjws . javed akhtar said as much . \u2018 jo jeeta wohi sikandar was about the youth of that time . . . if you listen to the film\u2019s dialogues , you will feel that it is written by someone who is twenty or twenty - two years old . that is because that youngster always remained within nasir husain , in his personality and in his writing . \u2019 mansoor agreed . \u2018addressing the youth , or having that flair , was always the top thing in his mind . he had the knack of writing young dialogues , which would appeal to a new generation . \u2019\nkaran johar offered a more perceptive explanation for husain\u2019s skill in writing such dialogues . \u2018i think that dialogue is a reflection of your awareness of the times . he was constantly evolving . the fact that he had a lot of young people around him helped . i feel that about yash chopra also because he had two young boys , he kept himself alive and young . nasir sa\u2019ab had aamir and mansoor and the girls , nuzhat and nikhat [ aamir\u2019s sister ] . some were esoteric , some were evolved , some were internationally informed . aamir was a little more filmy . mansoor was a little more evolved in a different way . i think he surrounded himself with such a blend of energies even in their growing - up years ; that definitely helped him . i also think he was an observer . the fact that his costumes were such , his music is contemporary , that means his awareness factor was huge . i\u2019ve always felt that nasir husain was a very aware man . he was aware of his surroundings . he was aware of what was happening in the world , not just his country and city . \u2019\nwhat the dialogues of jjws also established is that husain , who first started writing for films in 1949 , remained relevant for close to forty - five years . he had kept himself updated to the changed idiom of every passing decade . his dialogues for amar / raj in munimji or ramesh in paying guest in the mid - 1950s were as true to the syntax of those times as sanjay lal sharma\u2019s were to the early 1990s . aamir spoke at length to explain the significance of husain\u2019s talent in dialogue - writing : \u2018i think he wrote characters very well , which also come out through dialogues \u2026 dialogues are the main source from which you come to know what a person is like . what are the words that a person uses ? this tells you a lot about the character . so dialogues are very , very important in building a character . dialogues also carry your scenes . so while i may have a story in the broad sense , the screenplay is one step deeper , the dialogues at the deepest level , which actually then incorporates all the things that the story and the screenplay originally intended . now if the dialogues don\u2019t ring true , no matter what i\u2019m imagining the scene is , it won\u2019t turn out that way unless the dialogues actually carry that feeling . so that\u2019s the final step in writing \u2014 the dialogues .\n\u2018and what is amazing about nasir sa\u2019ab is that he remained relevant creatively for a very long time . from 1949 to akele hum akele tum [ husain wrote the dialogues ] , which is 1995 , is forty - six years . there are a handful of names that cross five decades and remain relevant creatively over such a long period . now nasir sa\u2019ab may not have remained relevant as a director , but he began as a writer . so as a writer he remained relevant over five decades . it is a very remarkable thing , to be able to write for an audience in the 1940s and then to be able to write for an audience in each successive decade all the way through to the \u201990s . to remain relevant for different audiences of different decades really speaks about your longevity as a creative person . \u2019\nthis adaptability across decades made husain the majrooh sultanpuri of dialogue - writers . majrooh , who debuted as a lyricist with shahjehan ( 1946 ) , kept his lyrics relevant and updated to reflect the voice of every successive generation right up to the new millennium , writing for films such as akele hum akele tum , khamoshi ( 1996 ) and pukar ( 2000 ) .\njo jeeta wohi sikandar , however , is a film that almost didn\u2019t get made . mansoor , who directed the film , had severe problems with the original cast of the film . the actress nagma had been taken on to play devika\u2019s role , but she bowed out just a few days before shooting commenced for the film in ooty . another lady , karishma pahuja , was then taken to play devika\u2019s role , with south indian actress girija shettar playing anjali\u2019s character and the model milind soman playing shekhar malhotra . but for various reasons , this cast didn\u2019t work . mansoor had to sacrifice an entire schedule of the film before he replaced this cast with the cast that is now seen in the film\u2026\n\u2026for all the obstacles that came the film\u2019s way , jo jeeta wohi sikandar picked up best film at the 1993 filmfare awards .\njo jeeta wohi sikandar was the last film under the nasir husain banner . after this , husain wrote the dialogues of akele hum akele tum ( 1995 ) , an adaptation of sidney pollack\u2019s kramer vs . kramer ( 1979 ) . the film was directed by mansoor , but was produced by ratan jain ( venus ) . akele hum akele tum turned out to be the last film husain worked on . i asked mansoor whether husain had any reservations about him working as a director on akele hum akele tum outside the home banner , a film with a far more serious thread than husain\u2019s cinema . \u2018no , he didn\u2019t , \u2019 mansoor said . \u2018he felt akele hum akele tum was an emotional subject so it doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be his style , but he felt that the story had enough appeal and it was worth making . \u2019\nextracted with permission from music masti modernity : the cinema of nasir husain by akshay manwani and published by harper collins .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nanand milind must be one of the most hated composers down south due to the number of songs they ' ve copied from tamil and telugu films . . . mostly the southern maestro ilayaraja ' s songs and occasionally a few of a r rahman ' s . this page will bloat to an unmentionable size if i start including even half of those lifts .\nthe original was part of the soundtrack of the 1993 movie ' only the strong ' ' .\ninspired by neil diamond ' s ' play me ' . but amazingly improvised that its almost hard to detect that its inspired !\nlifted exactly from the song ' chunni ud ud jaaye ' by uk based bhangra pop group alaap .\nblatant rip !

' note : i still think someone ' s gonna mail me saying that the original listed above is nothing but an instrumental version of the hindi track and that this site sucks . i strongly suggest that such people check out the ' shadows ' site and the page which talks about ' return to the alamo ' .\ndirect lift from pakistani singer hassan jehangir ' s song of the same name .\nstraight lift , made a bit more racy by anand milind in the filmi version .\nthe problem with working on more exotic sources of lifts is that simpler , pop influences by the likes of anand milind seems like a complete bore . but , lets not distinguish between interesting and uninteresting lifts and make the composer duo of anand milind feel neglected . so , lets honor them for their bland , flat , outright silly lift of jon secada ' s 1992 hit , ' just another day ' . apparently anand milind used this track to create , ' tere dil ne ' , a supposedly dropped - from - the - film track for the anil kapoor starrer ' loafer ' ( 1996 ) . surprisingly , this is one of shankar mahadevan ' s earliest tracks as a full fledged playback singer - this was during the period when he was doing fringe playback and studio versions , much like the singer krishna , these days . shankar does sound quite odd too and i ' m sure would appropriately cringe if one were to point this out to him today !\nlifted off the 1974 kannada number , ' endendu ninnanu ' from the dr rajkumar film , eradu kanasu .\n. you may use / quote / reproduce content from this site provided you add a link back to the index page of this website ( urltoken ) next to the portion used / quoted / reproduced .\nin 1988 , when the concept of channels dedicated to trailers were completely alien , we relied on the services of chhayageet and chitrahaar on doordarshan for a weekly dose of soundtrack videos to enjoy everything new , popular or timeless .\naround then , i noticed the promotion for mansoor khan ' s directorial debut is unusually keen . sometimes they ' d air more than one song from the about - to - release romance starring two unfamiliar faces - - aamir khan and juhi chawla . and right before the clip , they ' d play out its multiple posters , almost like a powerpoint presentation .\nmoreover , anand - milind ' s gleaming score against majrooh sultanpuri ' s fanciful poetry was a smash hit from the word go . every single song - - papa kehte hain , ghazab ka hai din , aye mere humsafar , akele hain toh kya gham and kaahe sataye sung by udit narayan and alka yagnik made a lasting impression on its listeners . i heard this over my transistor from the legendary ameen sayani on his musical countdown , cibaca sangeet mala and experienced it first hand when the frequent playing of its cassette resulted in recurring damage and buying three new tapes .\nnow , summer vacations had just started and i was holidaying with my family at my aunt ' s home who neither had a vcr nor a colour television . owing to the instant hysteria it generated , tickets weren ' t available easily ( remember no multiple screens or show ) but the video was out in the market within a week or so .\nyielding to my constant pleas , my aunt rented its vhs tape and asked her landlady in the adjacent bungalow to play the video , which was then relayed on our tv by using a splitter .

and renoir remarked that the work leonardo da vinci did for the king of france shows the signs of a french aesthetic ; and that he , renoir , thought that \u201cwe are going to return to this kind of international society\u201d ( 19 ) . renoir can imagine , in 1954 , people being citizens of cinema , of film culture , an anticipation of transnational art house culture ( renoir describes the specific possibility of small audiences in different countries for certain kinds of films ) .\nthe first adaptation to the screen of one of georges simenon\u2019s inspector maigret novels features maigret\u2014played by renoir\u2019s brother pierre\u2014trying to solve a car theft , yet being drawn into more intrigue when he finds the car with a dead man behind the wheel . simenon and renoir were prior friends and collaborated closely on the screenplay . the dark , enigmatic film that resulted is so ambiguous at points that it has led to theories that parts of the script were never shot or even that footage has been lost . in fact , the overwhelming impression is the return of the kind of uncanny and erotic naturalism that permeated la chienne . godard himself described it as \u201crenoir\u2019s most mysterious film . . . the only great french detective movie\u2014in fact , the greatest of all adventure movies . \u201d print courtesy the british film institute .\n\u201ci wish he\u2019d been around when we were making our film , \u201d the director james ivory said of mr . ribes . \u201cwe were absolutely forbidden to use anything that picasso had created , including anything he wrote . i thought it was a sad thing . it would have , visually , been a different film . \u201d\n\u201crenoir\u201d is the conceptual springboard for this year\u2019s series , which honors the films of the great filmmaker jean renoir , the second of the painter\u2019s three sons and the author of a 1962 biography of his father . three of the son\u2019s masterworks are being shown : his first color film , \u201cthe river\u201d ( 1951 ) , in a restored print ; a digital restoration of his satire \u201cboudu saved from drowning\u201d ( 1932 ) ; and \u201cthe rules of the game\u201d ( 1939 ) , a perennial contender on critics\u2019 polls for the finest film ever made .\ndrama renoir , which closed the un certain regard sidebar section of cannes earlier this year , trumped the past , considered a front - runner for france\u2019s entry . the past won oscar - nominee berenice bejo the best actress prize in the main competition at the film festival .\nthe first film on which renoir worked is a melodrama in which the title character is a servant in a provincial town who provokes a scandal by falling in love with her employer\u2019s son . renoir conceived the film as a vehicle for his wife , whose screen name was catherine hessling . he acted as scenarist and producer , hiring the more experienced albert dieudonn\u00e9 to direct . however , he found it difficult simply to observe dieudonn\u00e9 , becoming more and more involved in the actual filmmaking . ultimately , the collaboration pleased neither party : dieudonn\u00e9 resented renoir\u2019s claims to at least partial directorship , while renoir was dissatisfied with dieudonn\u00e9\u2019s editing of the final version . in any case , catherine contains some fine location shooting , which contributes greatly to an exciting chase sequence at the climax .\nas with all artists , there was a bit of the con man in renoir , particularly when he rationalized the lapses and longueurs in his films as an acceptance of nature and reality . in this he shrewdly exploited his patrimony from his father , pierre auguste renoir , the famous impressionist painter . having once experienced jean renoir ' s aura at a small parisian dinner party - the great artist posing as a humble artisan - i can easily understand how he has seduced so many film intellectuals .\n. but note that the word independent is one of the many labels that indicates fifty different ways of making films in hollywood\u201d ( 14 ) . that independent film ,\nstill not having any success with the studios , renoir\u2019s fourth hollywood film was an independent production that hearkened back to his love of french naturalist literature . renoir had long wanted to adapt octave mirbeau\u2019s 1900 novel , which details the decadence of the upper classes as observed by their cynical servants . if the material seems close to the rules of the game , the filmmaker took an approach diametrically opposed to the realism of the earlier film . shooting everything\u2014even exteriors\u2014on soundstage sets , the result is another example of the director\u2019s use of theatricality to give his material an uncanny edge . the use of the soundstage also allows renoir to indulge his love of the highly mobile camera .\nin the details of its narrative , la grande illusion was also auto\u00adbiographical , based on renoir\u2019s own memories of the war , in which he served as a pilot until he was shot down in april 1915 ( gabin wears renoir\u2019s old uniform in the film ) . to his own recollections he added those of his friend pinsard , another pilot . trouble flared when renoir and scriptwriter charles spaak failed to acknowledge that their screenplay also drew on jean des valli\u00e8res\u2019s novel kavalier scharnhorst , leading to a plagiarism case . while there are similarities between the book and the film , they remain relatively minor . more significant were spaak\u2019s input and changes in the cast , especially the inclusion of von stroheim and the consequent expansion of von rauffenstein\u2019s part ( renoir greatly admired the austrian as a director ) .\nrenoir , a tale of sunshine , oils and decorative nudity , has been selected as france ' s official submission for next year ' s best foreign film oscar . a french - language film took the top prize last year with michael haneke ' s shattering death - bed drama amour ( although it was in fact an entry for haneke ' s native austria ) . this time around , the french tongue appears to be talking a different language .\nrenoir\ndoesn ' t get much beneath the surface - but , good god , what a surface .\nfor those who just want to float away on waves of beauty ,\nrenoir\nis a boating party .\ngilson , paul ,\njean renoir \u00e0 hollywood ,\necran fran\u00e7aise ( paris ) , 15 august 1945 .\nthis last fact , it seems to me , could be significant for the possible reception of this book . having taught renoir to recalcitrant students , i find a bothersome gap between the automatic reverence that is granted renoir and the widespread resistance to his oeuvre . from this it unfortunately may follow that only those readers who know renoir ' s achievements backward and forward , warts and all , will fully appreciate the toughness , shrewdness , brilliance and beauty of the directorial sensibility unveiled , though hardly for the first time , in ' ' renoir on renoir . ' '\n\u201cyou discover the content of a film as you\u2019re shooting , \u201d says renoir ( 35 ) , to rivette and truffaut , also stating his belief that artists continue to develop throughout their lives , and hope to draw from their experience , though too often \u201call that we\u2019ve accumulated , all that we\u2019ve tried to learn , comes too late or too early and not at the moment we need it\u201d ( 40 ) . he recalls wanting the golden coach to be a civilized film , one rich in detail ; and he identified civilization in a classical period as being direct , fresh , simple , though the surface may seem unusually complex ( 40 and 41 ) .

ivory film of 1996 .\njoan bennett had starred in scarlet street , fritz lang\u2019s hollywood remake of la chienne . that connection led to renoir\u2019s directing this noirish tale of a love triangle between an older man , a traumatized ex - soldier and a femme fatale . renoir had wanted to make a film about a purely physical erotic connection , but studio interference invariably diluted this idea , and a disastrous preview screening led to extensive reshoots . nevertheless , jacques rivette regarded the film as a masterpiece : \u201cif there is such a thing as pure cinema , it is to be found in the woman on the beach . \u201d print courtesy warner bros .\nafter a string of literary adaptations , renoir executed a radical change of pace by turning to a true crime story set in the southern french countryside , which he shot on location using mostly nonprofessional actors . toni follows the life of the titular italian migrant worker whose love for a fellow migrant leads him to try and convince her to escape and start life anew somewhere else . the film was startling enough to raise renoir\u2019s profile with the french critics , with a truth that speaks to our own times : toni pulls no punches in its depiction of the difficulties and contradictions inherent within immigrant life . andre bazin felt that toni was \u201claying the foundation for what was to become neorealism ten years later . \u201d the proof : a young luchino visconti , working on his very first film set , was renoir\u2019s assistant on the picture just eight years before he made ossessione , considered the first italian neorealist film . print courtesy institut fran\u00e7ais .\n\u201crenoir\u201d is rated r ( under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian ) for art - related nudity and brief language .\nrussell , lee ,\njean renoir ,\nin new left review ( new york ) , may - june 1964 .\nrenoir\u2019s reputation rose and fell throughout the early 1930s when he had yet to garner much popular attention . his critical profile surged to new heights with toni , for which he combined location shooting and sound recording ( in the south of france ) with an episodic narrative taken from real life and a cast that included many non - professionals . the result was a true revelation in france and adds undeniable weight to the argument that renoir was the inventor of neorealism , particularly since luchino visconti was his assistant on this film and carried renoir\u2019s working method to italy .\nrenoir\u2019s last feature film , the elusive corporal bears a superficial resemblance to grand illusion : it is about french soldiers attempting to escape from a german prison camp , but this time the setting is world war ii . if grand illusion is about the death of the aristocracy , the elusive corporal is about a world without chivalry . although renoir decided that this was his saddest film , the episodic narrative mixes humor and drama , culminating in an ending not only leavened with moments of sacrifice and grace , but also some of the filmmaker\u2019s joy in the dionysian chaos at the heart of human existence . print courtesy institut fran\u00e7ais .\njean renoir\u2019s own work is both achievement and evidence . renoir recalls the birth of one of his great films , the river : renoir had read a review of rumer godden\u2019s book the river , leading him to buy and read the book , which was about a young girl\u2019s maturing and her observations of life and death , nature and society , and which he thought would be a good film subject ; and he optioned the book from godden , an english writer and dance teacher who grew up in india and who agreed to help him write a script loosely based on the book . coincidentally , a woman relative of the indian leader nehru had recommended to a producer ( kenneth mceldowney ) that he use godden and her writing as the basis for a film : and learning that renoir held the option to the book the river , the two men worked together with godden .\nrenoir took a two - year break from filmmaking as talking pictures came to france while the 1920s became the 1930s . his first sound film is this little - seen comedy , about a domestic tempest in a bedpan : as the household of a chamber pot salesman expects a visit from an important vendor , the infant of the family becomes constipated and refuses to take his laxative . critics who considered this material unworthy of the great renoir did not count on the director\u2019s taste for toilet humor . in any case , the film exhibits a bit of the difficulty renoir had in navigating the shift to sound . gone is the location shooting , and the camerawork is ( temporarily ) less mobile and fluid ; occasionally the actors deliver their lines directly into the camera . on the other hand , temporary confinement to shooting on a sound stage seems to have nudged renoir toward his embrace of deep focus .\nthe year is 2028 , and an african explorer heads north to barbaric europe , where he discovers a savage white woman living in the ruins of paris . renoir indulges his early love of special effects ( reverse imagery , slow and fast motion ) and the fantastic in this startling medium - length film that attempts to satirize the french modern - colonialist vogue for all things african by reversing the racial and sexual polarities of the binary logic that defines civilization by distinguishing it from the \u201cprimitive . \u201d print courtesy the british film institute .\nalthough there is incident in the film ' s second half \u2014 jean and andree soon pair up , pierre - auguste paints more masterpieces , jean discovers the movies , andree has additional flare - ups \u2014 it doesn ' t build to the level of compelling drama , leaving the film in a quiet , temperate realm that scarcely makes the pulse race , the bodacious theret ' s frequent nudity notwithstanding .\nguillaume gallienne ' s box -

like creation , with one face turned to the future and one looking to the past . the film imagines a world where television is omnipresent , nuclear power is a subject for debate , the european countries have entered into a federation , and a technocratic elite promotes artificial insemination to better the human race . the rise of a politician who espouses this platform is thrown into turmoil by the event of the film\u2019s title . thus , here renoir returns to the theme of a day in the country , that of the seductive and anarchic power of nature to reshape lives . further , picnic on the grass was shot in the south of france in the places where renoir\u2019s father lived late in life and where catherine was filmed . indeed , the film\u2019s mix of charming playfulness and sci - fi dystopia hearkens back to charleston parade .\nchotard et cie may be the slightest in the trilogy of obscure - but - worthy early renoir comedies that includes tire au flanc and on purge b\u00e9b\u00e9 , but it belongs in their company as proof that renoir could direct not just naturalist drama and social satire but also flat - out farce . when a wealthy greengrocer gets an author for a son - in - law , he is perturbed\u2014until the young man wins the prix goncourt . plans to monetize the young man\u2019s talent come to naught , leading the film to the moral that each must fulfill his or her own destiny . proof that renoir never missed a chance to try new things , the film opens with a bravura feat : a complicated tracking shot , over two minutes long , moving from close - up to deep focus and from the street into chotard\u2019s shop .\na film long considered unfinished turns out to be one of renoir\u2019s most profound and moving . in the midst of his commitment to the popular front , renoir changed direction to undertake an adaptation of de maupassant\u2019s story \u201cthe day in the country , \u201d about a picnic outing by some parisian shopkeepers that results in idle flirtation for some and the fleeting discovery of true passion for others . an epilogue reveals , both serenely and tragically , the passing of time . when filming was interrupted by the weather , renoir abandoned the project to begin work on the lower depths , not returning to it until several years later . the missing section of the screenplay goes unmissed , because what remains is some of renoir\u2019s most engaging and powerful filmmaking . print courtesy institut fran\u00e7ais .\n( michel bouquet ) and his film - maker son jean renoir ( vincent rottiers ) . the dramatic link between them is andr\u00e9e ( christa th\u00e9ret ) , a beautiful young woman who in 1915 was the elder renoir ' s model , and then became jean ' s lover : she was to be his collaborator in the emerging art of the cinema , an interesting part of her life that this film does not cover . sadly , the arts of painting and film are evoked with equal lack of insight or passion ; the relationship between father and son is uninspired , as is their relationship with andr\u00e9e , who does a lot of pseudo - sensual lounging about in sun - dappled softcore nudity . bouquet is always a formidable presence on screen and he does what he can with the role , but it is conceived with such solemnity and dullness . this gives a new meaning to truffaut ' s phrase\nthat sense of fluidity is embodied in the canvases shown in the film ( painted by the famous art forger guy ribes ) , whose figures dissolve into the landscape and into one another in an ethereal mist .\nseveral ideas seemed to have stayed with jean renoir throughout his life and career : actors are a vital part of the filmmaking process , which is a process of discovery ; the early days in any art form are often the best ; technology can cripple the senses , and perfection of technique can be stifling ; jazz and film are the most important art forms of the twentieth century ; the best film directors are wise about life , and are authors , creators of worlds , and for renoir they are collaborative authors ; great work reveals aspects of reality ; human beings are inconsistent in behavior ; what is commercial is what is safe , but complete freedom usually does not yield significant artistry , as prohibitions can help to focus mind and spirit ; originality may be important but personal interpretation , even of received ideas and stories , is no less important ; the audience completes the film , which itself can refer to almost anything ; and film is a mass art as a result of its availability , how it circulates in society , whose members are shaped by their hope and their need , their time and their place .\n\u201ctoo early , too late , \u201d renoir comments wryly , meaning that their age difference prevents them from becoming lovers . for renoir , andr\u00e9e , who has a ravenous appetite for life , is the spirit made flesh , a beauty \u201ctitian would have worshiped , \u201d he announces .\nhowever , with his prospects for work in los angeles dwindling , renoir entered a brief period of working on international co - productions that would include his first two films in color : the river , shot in english , in india ; and the golden coach , adapted from french sources and shot shot in italy with an international cast speaking english . the former was enough of a success to revive renoir\u2019s international reputation . the latter , now celebrated as one of renoir\u2019s masterworks , was a huge critical and financial disappointment , and occasioned renoir\u2019s return to france .\nabstract or not , renoir ' s films have inspired a vast body of critical literature that remains virtually unknown to nonreaders of film studies . francois truffaut , who compiled andre bazin ' s book on renoir scrap by scrap from bazin ' s articles , declared flatly in his introduction : ' ' andre bazin and jean renoir have meant too much to me for me to be able to speak of them dispassionately . thus it is quite natural that i should feel that ' jean renoir ' by andre bazin is the best book on the cinema , written by the best critic , about the best director . ' ' would - be revisionists have had more than 30 years to repudiate or even qualify the insights of bazin , who died in 1958 . none really has .\nthe latter issue gave rise to a long series of debates that still continue today , centred on whether or not the film\u2019s recourse to anti - semitic stereotypes ( rosenthal as rich banker ) and directly anti - semitic remarks ( mar\u00e9chal to rosenthal : \u201ci could never abide jews\u201d ) were meant as a critique of anti - semitism . the other questions , however , quickly receded into the background . on the one hand , the heated political divisions that informed film criticism in france gave way to other agendas ; on the other , the reconstruction of europe soon made the film\u2019s pacifism and advocacy of rapprochement between nations seem relevant once again .\nof course , the very name renoir gives any publishing endeavor the gloss of genetic genius . consider that bazin ' s study was entitled simply ' ' jean renoir , ' ' as were the best books in english on the film maker , by raymond durgnat and leo braudy . one might say that the son of the impressionist immortal was born with an unfair advantage over the less nobly born film makers of his artistic rank . after all , who remembers the fathers of d . w . griffith , f . w . murnau , ernst lubitsch , carl dreyer , luis bunuel , alfred hitchcock , john ford , ingmar bergman , leo mccarey , howard hawks , frank capra , robert bresson inter alios ?\nset in the backwaters of the deep south , renoir\u2019s first american film tells the story of a young man who\u2014while trying to find his dog that has run off into the swamp\u2014is kidnapped by an escaped fugitive . in true renoirian fashion , the young man becomes allies with his captor after listening to a story of injustice , and the two embark on a mission to set the wrongs right . after beginning his career with self - funded or independent productions and then rising to star status in his native france , renoir arrived in los angeles ill - prepared for the strictures of the studio system . he did convince fox studio head darryl zanuck , who had been mightily impressed by grand illusion , to let him do a bit of location shooting in the okefenokee swamp . the bigger problem was renoir\u2019s working method while shooting , which seemed slow and aimless to fox\u2019s executives . in the end , the film was a success , and renoir and zanuck parted ways amicably . print courtesy 20th century fox .\nrenoir took prosper m\u00e9rim\u00e9e\u2019s play about a commedia dell\u2019arte troupe in 18th - century peru and used it as an entry point for his greatest investigation of theater and performance . shot at cinecitta in technicolor by claude renoir , starring the great anna magnani and featuring a beautiful score culled from the works of vivaldi , the golden coach opens on a shot of a curtain rising to reveal a stage . as the camera moves slowly in , we are spectators in a theater hovering in front of the proscenium , but then a door opens on the stage and the camera follows a character through it and we enter the play , or , more accurately , the movie . renoir considered vivaldi one of his principal collaborators on the film , one whose music contributes to the film\u2019s spirit of light - hearted irony , as the director put it . print courtesy janus films .\n\u201crenoir , \u201d which opens in new york and los angeles on friday , is a highbrow domestic drama , set in 1915 . it focuses on pierre - auguste renoir ( michel bouquet ) , the giant of impressionism ; his son jean , the future giant of cinema ; and the woman who would become the father\u2019s last model and the son\u2019s first wife . writing in the new york times , the critic stephen holden described it as a \u201cgorgeous film\u201d that \u201cvisualizes the world as observed by an enfeebled artist who is kept alive by his obsession with how the skin of a beautiful woman absorbs light . \u201d in doing so mr . bourdos\u2019s film tackles one of the more slippery subjects in cinema , the making of art .\ndirector gilles bourdos takes an appreciative look at andree heuschling ' s impact on the lives of painter pierre - auguste renoir and his son jean .\njean renoir\u2019s pacifist classic is set in a german prisoner - of - war camp during wwi , where class kinship is felt across national boundaries .\n\u201ci think that the only secret\u2014which is very convenient in our profession , as in others , and which helps a great deal\u2014is to try to see and to fill yourself with good things . if you\u2019re a playwright , better to read shakespeare and moliere than to read\u2026an inferior writer . in film , it\u2019s the same thing , and i was very lucky to start loving films and to want to make them at a time when they were really good . \u201d \u2014jean renoir , \u201cinterview with jean renoir\u201d ( 1954 )"]}

joo and other stars appeared for this event , . . .\nin the most anthologised henry lawson stories , the australian environment , identified as the bush , is a harsh opponent to the hardened individuals who struggle to survive against its onslaughts . in my brilliant career this idea is present , but is tempered by various portrayals of rural life : possum gully is countered by bruggabrong and caddagat , and also barney\u2019s gap . barney\u2019s gap , home of the m\u2019swats , is an important component , because without it the difference would only be an economic one \u2013 caddagat is pleasant because of wealth and possum gully becomes unbearable through poverty . but franklin\u2019s picture of australian rural life is a more subtle representation that invites more considered analysis .\npit - a - patting my life is scheduled to go into production early next year and will be directed by e j - yong , the director of an affair ( 1998 ) , untold scandal ( 2003 ) and the actresses ( 2009 ) , and will be produced by zip cinema .\nten korean films were presented in udine this year , including boo ji - young \u2019s cart , lee do - yun \u2019s confession , yoo ha \u2019s gangnam blues and lim charn - sang \u2019s my love , my bride , to name a few .\nthis book is brilliant just like the title . full of jokes and humour . you can really relate to the book which i love . a must read ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !\nin her will , miles franklin established a literary award for a novel of \u2018highest literary merit which must present australian life in any of its phases\u2019 ( miles franklin award ) . this requirement has become uncomfortable for some in an increasingly cosmopolitan australia . from franklin\u2019s first book to her last will , she retained a passionate interest in australian life , although she lived a very cosmopolitan one . what actually constitutes \u2018australian life\u2019 is a constant question for the miles franklin award judges , as it is for the readers of this novel .\nif the romantic relationships of my brilliant career are deliberately disappointed , the love affairs with print are not . sybylla\u2019s determination to write a book seems almost a result of running out of books to read : \u2018i seldom saw a book\u2019 , she says , in the passage describing her launch into writing , having earlier \u2018borrowed every book in the neighbourhood\u2019 . sybylla\u2019s longing for story and excitement causes her to embark on the writing of her own story ; but it is also important to note that she sees the act of writing not only as a means of self - expression but also as a \u2018ticket\u2019 to another life \u2013 specifically , the life of an \u2018artist\u2019 as she imagines it .\nthe film ,\ndugeun , dugeun , my life ,\nis about a couple who must watch their son suffering from progeria grow prematurely old . the film is based on the novel of the same name by kim ae - ran , the film ' s distributor cj e & m said monday .\ni felt their gazes longing to tame me , but more brilliant was the brightness of the life outside them , new colors , new bodies , new intelligence , a language to possess finally as if it were my true language , and nothing , nothing that seemed to me reconcilable with that domestic space from which they stared at me in expectation . ah , to make them invisible , to no longer hear the demands of their flesh as commands more pressing , more powerful than those which came from mine .\nthe howls near the beginning of the story do not herald the birth of sybylla melvyn , the heroine , but the birth of her consciousness \u2013 her first memory , her coming to know herself . that her first memory is one of pain and of literally getting her fingers burnt , despite the idyllic setting , is consistent with the tone of the novel . from the title onwards , my brilliant career operates through irony , and indeed the title has been repeatedly borrowed and played upon , mostly in those same ironic terms . miles franklin\u2019s original title for the novel was my brilliant ( ? ) career ( roe p . 52 ) but the question mark was removed by the publishers , william blackwood & sons . franklin protested the editorial change , seeing it as neutralising the sardonic mood of the novel . consequently , the novel was taken as autobiographical \u2013 a ( factual ) story of a girl\u2019s life \u2013 and not the ironic fiction that franklin intended . the novel is no longer thought of as experimental or radical in any way , yet the opening warnings and the screams ( the screams are perhaps another part of the warning ) introduced a number of experimental departures from traditional novelistic forms of the time . like another australian \u2018classic\u2019 , joseph furphy\u2019s such is life ( 1903 ) , that is contemporary with franklin\u2019s novel , my brilliant career declares itself hostile to \u2018romance\u2019 .\n\u201cwe talked often while working together and we kept in touch between those times . she\u2019d give me advice about my career , or we\u2019d discuss personal matters . you could call her a mentor . having her at my side gave me a lot of strength . \u201d\nthe second place audience award went to lee won -

movies that truly resonate with me , thanks to their shorter running times , and also quite possibly , thanks to my drama - attuned sensibilities . what can i say ? i don\u2019t like to feel rushed when connecting with characters on my screen . \ud83d\ude09\nbright stars in the sky and my father ' s face were the last things i saw .\nthat part left me emotionally unstable . . .\nhow this story is based on novel of 2011 . . . it ' s story is similar to movie paa ( indian movie ) in 2009 which is based on life of sam berns . . . . .\n\u201cat some point in my career , i realized making a film is working together . when i was young , i was too concerned about my acting performances only . but now , i am beginning to learn how to support others in the film and know where to relax and where not to back out . \u201d\nand dad responds in his simple , forthright way , \u201cme too . i\u2019m so happy you\u2019re my son . good kids like you should never be sick . \u201d\nwow , it ' s the second time they ' re paired up together . i like kang dongwon -

31 ) . sybylla\u2019s mother does not subscribe to this plot so much as to the story of the ungrateful daughter . she outlines one version of this in the letter summoning sybylla to teach the m\u2019swat children : \u2018it is time you gave up pleasuring and began to meet the responsibilities of life\u2019 ( p . 161 ) . sybylla\u2019s letters outline various narrative selves and plots , from her part artistic part straightforward letter to gertie , to her torn up letter to everard , full of romantic descriptive prose and an artistic life in sydney .\nkorean wave stars gang dong -

won as a clueless father . although not yet a dad in real life , kang said that playing dae - su , a teenage taekwondo enthusiast whose dream was cut short by fatherhood , wasn\u2019t difficult to master .\nwhoop ! my review of prison playbook is done ! i ended up really loving this one , more than i had expected to . i hope you guys enjoy the read ! < 3\nthis is not a romance \u2014 i have too often faced the music of life to the tune of hardship to waste time in snivelling and gushing over fancies and dreams ; neither is it a novel , but simply a yarn \u2014 a real yarn . oh ! as real , as really real \u2014 provided life itself is anything beyond a heartless little chimera \u2014 it is as real in its weariness and bitter heartache as the tall gum - trees , among which i first saw the light , are real in their stateliness and substantiality .\n\u201cit resulted because of my ignorance and carelessness . i wasn\u2019t sure if i should appear before the public or not and if doing an interview was the right thing to do , \u201d said song .\n\u201cwhen i was in my 20s , i wanted to get married soon , but now , i don\u2019t have quite the courage to form a family on my own , \u201d she said . \u201cbut i really admire dae - soo and mi - ra\u2019s perseverance and courage not to give up on their son . they do everything they can to protect the family . i think that is really beautiful . \u201d\nhowever , in the novel , or around it , sybylla really does write her own preface ; she is writing a book ( another book ) in the novel , and she addresses someone , who seems like a reader , in her closing words . the opening accident \u2013 a burn , significantly \u2013 and the ensuing cries are matched by a closing flame of sunset and a mock - heroic valedictory prayer . yet this is not a simple novel of humanist self - realisation any more than it is just a parodic romance . if sybylla is not holding a book in her hands at the close of the novel , the turning of sybylla the avid reader into sybylla the writer does hang as a possibility at the close of her \u2018ineffective life\u2019 story in my brilliant career . the elided question mark remains .\n\u201cbut as much as i take the sole blame for my faults , i had the responsibility to minimize the damage the scandal had on the movie crew who worked so hard for this film , \u201d she said .\none of my favorite things in the show , is the way both dae soo and mi ra refuse to allow their son ah reum ( jo sung mok ) to feel ashamed of being different from other kids .\ngillian armstrong\u2019s film of my brilliant career dramatises this lust for print in the scene in which sybylla and her young pupils energetically track a serialised story across the newspapered interior walls of the house . sybylla\u2019s longing for fiction and for the romance that comes in narratives ( and music ) is expressed in the frequent mention of books . reading is quite explicitly associated with nourishment \u2013 of the soul , is perhaps implied \u2013 but literally with food . much of sybylla\u2019s reading is accompanied by eating \u2013 she takes in fiction with fruit ( \u2018i ate another fig and apricot , a mulberry or two , and was interrupted in the perusal of my book by the clatter of galloping hoofs . . . \u2018 ( p . 159 ) ) . the appetite for reading spurs the appetite for writing .\nquietly , as they lie down looking up at the night sky , ah reum says to dad , \u201ci feel so happy being here with you , watching the stars . i\u2019m especially happy that you\u2019re my father . \u201d\nas soon as you read her fiction , ferrante\u2019s restraint seems wisely self - protective . her novels are intensely , violently personal , and because of this they seem to dangle bristling key chains of confession before the unsuspecting reader . there are four novels available in english , each translated by ann goldstein , an editor at this magazine : \u201ctroubling love , \u201d \u201cthe days of abandonment , \u201d \u201cthe lost daughter , \u201d and now \u201cmy brilliant friend\u201d ( all from europa editions ) . each book is narrated by a woman : an academic in \u201cthe lost daughter , \u201d and a writer in \u201cthe days of abandonment . \u201d the woman who tells the story of her neapolitan youth in \u201cmy brilliant friend\u201d is named elena , and seems to cherish the possibilities of writing and being a writer . more than these occasional and fairly trivial overlappings with life , the material that the early novels visit and revisit is intimate and often shockingly candid : child abuse , divorce , motherhood , wanting and not wanting children , the tedium of sex , the repulsions of the body , the narrator\u2019s desperate struggle to retain a cohesive identity within a traditional marriage and amid the burdens of child rearing . the novels present themselves ( with the exception of the latest ) like case histories , full of flaming rage , lapse , failure , and tenuous psychic success . but these are fictional case histories . one can understand that ferrante has no interest in adding her privacy to the novelistic pyre .\nour characters are basically just regular folks living their lives , when life serves up not one , but several , lemons . not only does our main couple get bewilderedly pregnant at age 17 , their son is born with progeria , a rare genetic defect that causes him to age at a highly accelerated rate .\nthis is where \u201cmy brilliant friend\u201d ends , with elena watching the horizon , and lila being watched by elena . one girl is facing beyond the book ; the other is caught within its pages . elena greco , like the women who narrate ferrante\u2019s earlier novels , is a survivor ; like them , she has had to wrench her survival out of the drama of attachment and detachment . she feels a kind of survivor\u2019s guilt , as if she had robbed the promise of her riches from lila\u2019s treasury . a final irony is coiled in the novel\u2019s title , the biggest reversal , a shift in perspective that has taken a whole novel to effect . before the wedding , when elena is helping lila with her wedding dress , the two girls briefly discuss elena\u2019s continued schooling . lila urges elena to keep on studying ; if necessary she\u2014soon to be a comfortably married woman\u2014will pay for it . \u201cthanks , but at a certain point school is over , \u201d elena says with a nervous , doubtless self - deprecating laugh . \u201cnot for you , \u201d lila replies ardently , \u201cyou\u2019re my brilliant friend , you have to be the best of all , boys and girls . \u201d \u2666\nanother challenging for the most beautiful woman on earth song hye - kyo . hope this article will push through soon . the story sounds very interesting . yay another movie from my ultimate idol hye - kyo i look forward to .\ngang dong - won wanted to ' take a break ' but he came out with a new movie . despite being busy with the new movie\nthe priests\n, gang dong - won currently is filming another movie called ,\nvanishing time : a boy who returned\n. if things go according to plan , gang dong - won will be engaged with the movie until early late this year or early next year . like this , gang dong - won has been coming out with 5 movies straight starting from\nkundo : age of the rampant\nlast year ,\nmy brilliant life\n,\na violent prosecutor\n, and the recent\nthe priests\n. he has been the most active since his debut . he wanted a break due to the exhaustion but there was a reason why he chose to go on with\nvanishing time : a boy who returned\n, . . .\nelena , who had enjoyed her status as the cleverest girl in the class , has to fall in behind the brilliant lila , who is as smart at school as she is on the street : she comes in first on all the tests , and can do complicated calculations in her head . the two girls seem destined , through education , to escape their origins . in the last year of elementary school , they become obsessed with money , and talk about it \u201cthe way characters in novels talk about searching for treasure . \u201d but \u201cmy brilliant friend\u201d is a bildungsroman in mono , not stereo ; we sense early on that lila will stay trapped in her world , and that elena , the writer , will get out\u2014like the academic who , in \u201cthe lost daughter , \u201d describes her need to leave violent and limited naples thus : \u201ci had run away like a burn victim who , screaming , tears off the burned skin , believing that she is tearing off the burning itself . \u201d\nthanks my dear , i\u2019m glad you enjoyed this review enough to add this show to your list ! you know i don\u2019t love many k - movies , so the fact that i love this one so unreservedly is a big deal . \ud83d\ude09\nfor her part , portraying a mother made song think more about her acting . \u201cthere is a line of dialogue that my character says towards the end of the film : \u2018as a mother , i know this . \u2019 i thought long and hard about how i should deliver that line , and what emotion i should put into it . i haven\u2019t experienced motherhood directly , but after building up my character scene by scene , in the end i could feel how she would say it . \u201d\nfunny thing . i actually first watched this on a flight to hk , and didn\u2019t manage to finish before landing . fast forward to my next flight to hk several weeks later , when i ff - ed my way to where i\u2019d stopped , which was on the cusp of an emotional scene . would you believe that i promptly started tearing up , despite losing several weeks in between ? the emotional beats land that well , in this show . a must - watch , i say ! !\nwhy would anyone want to read my brilliant career now , over a hundred years later , and what seems like more than a hundred years removed from the world it creates ? the answer : closeness and distance , which is to say most readers will immediately recognise sybylla\u2019s experience while at the same time realising that it is also very much of another time . sybylla\u2019s frustration is familiar to every person who has grown up in a family . she rages at her lot in life and experiences intense disappointment in her parents , in particular her alcoholic father\u2019s irresponsibility and her mother\u2019s complete failure to comprehend her desire for a wider and different life . such feelings are immediately familiar to most of us . on the other hand , the context is now extremely unfamiliar . the world of the novel is far removed from the modern , in time and space . contemporary teenagers stuck in the country now , however remote , have more access to the world than sybylla could hope to have . if phone reception is bad , and internet slower , this does not compare to the boredom and isolation of reading through all the books the neighbourhood has to offer , or being stuck living with people who do not believe you can be paid for singing , and may not know the name of the prime minister . this must seem like another world , not just another century to many readers .\nthe reason the novel is in print , and you are reading it now , has a lot to do with its adoption in the late 1970s by the feminist movement of that period . feminist critics , scholars and writers of this period were interested in the female author using a male name , the feisty heroine , the complex exploration of gender roles and restrictions in australia at the turn of the century , and perhaps also the complicated representation of popular genres . my brilliant career was a part of the 1890s nationalist movement , but ( as with most of the writers so categorised ) its representations of environment , like its representations of gender and of nation , are not simple .\nmy brilliant career can be read as a kind of response to the story , or writing , of the \u2018grandmother\u2019 , or at least the sort of romance plot represented by the grandmother \u2013 australian ( and perhaps british ) women romance writers such as ada cambridge . when sybylla\u2019s grandmother writes to her and \u2018 [ k ] nowing [ her ] circumstances\u2019 enclosed \u2018a stamp to enable her to reply\u2019 sybylla uses these stamps not to facilitate the appropriate and expected narrative return to her grandmother , but to mail \u2018a prodigious novel in point of length and detail\u2019 to a sydney publisher , from whom it receives a polite refusal ( p . 29 ) . she is not daunted by this rejection , but tries another .\ni adore song hye - gyo in this movie , probably my favorite role of hers ! also , kang dong - won is unrecognizable in terms of character ! i\u2019m so used to seeing him all ready to kick butt , but he\u2019s so adorkable and funny in this one .\ni look forward to seeing more of jo sung - mok , who is so awesome as ah - reum . i had my mind blown when i saw him without the old man face ! it\u2019s so hard to believe that he\u2019s just a kid . so so so amazing .\npart of the secret to the popularity of the novel , at both its republication in the 1960s and its renaissance from the late 1980s , was not that it rejected romance outright , but that it offered both romance and anti - romance , or perhaps was balanced unnervingly between the two . the named reading preferences of the heroine hint that this is the case . my brilliant career explores the language , forms and thrills of both love romance and bush romance , and simultaneously parodies , rejects and critiques them . the readers it appealed to through identification as readers , in its own time and later , might seem an odd mix of partakers of romance alongside enthusiasts for australian bush adventure \u2013 trilby and an australian bush track ."]}

respect , what have you got ? \u201d , and i think that\u2019s really what the film is about \u2013 identity . and about how no matter who you are or where you come from or how much you earn , that you need to have recognition and a place within this world .\nin 1915 , the motion picture supplement published an article headlined \u201cwomen\u2019s conquest in filmdom\u201d , which said : \u201cone may not name a single vocation in either the artistic or business side of its progress in which women are not conspicuously engaged . in the theatres , in the studios and even in the exchanges where film productions are marketed and released to exhibitors , the fair sex is represented as in no other calling . \u201d\nthe goal of lef new england is to fund the work of independent documentary film and video artists in the region , and to broaden recognition and support for their work , both locally and nationally . it also supports programs that highlight the rich history and ongoing legacy of innovation within new england\u2019s independent film community .\nthe points north fellowship is a unique opportunity for six documentary filmmakers ( or filmmaking teams ) to receive $ 2000 to develop their feature -

and - tell shot of someone typing her name into google ) , framing her as a riddle to be solved . with mr . maloof playing m . c . and sleuth , he and mr . siskel follow much the same arc that runs through the better news accounts about maier . it\u2019s a breezy , perhaps overly tidy narrative ornamented with her work and packed with interviews with some of her old charges and their parents . some of the darker reminiscences are in sharp contrast to the movie\u2019s upbeat tone and relentlessly jaunty music .\nthe film ' s greatest strength is its specific set of characters . while no big events or personal crises happen , no one seems two -

- and could provide a new framework for other causes : the leaders of other social movements , such as the campaign for gun control , are already studying the methods behind the gay - marriage campaigners ' victory .\nin survey after survey , researchers would ask people what marriage meant to them - - not gay marriage , but the concept of marriage itself . and the answers were always the same : marriage meant love and commitment . even people who ' d been divorced three times would say the same thing . then the researchers would ask ,\nwhy do you think gay people want to get married ?\nand the answers would change : they want rights and benefits . they ' re trying to make a political point . they don ' t understand what marriage is really about . most commonly , respondents said they simply didn ' t know .\nin maine , canvassers learned to begin each of these conversations with two precisely scripted , research - based questions . they first asked voters how they felt about marriage for same - sex couples . what came next was a question the campaigners called the\nmarriage three way .\nwith voters who said they were supportive of same - sex marriage , the canvasser drilled down , asking if they supported marriage or merely some other form of recognition , such as civil unions , for same - sex couples . it might have seemed superfluous to press voters who ' d already said they were supporters , but the research had shown that some people who claimed to be in favor of same - sex marriage still preferred civil unions .\nthese voters ,\nan internal training document for canvassers explained ,\nare susceptible to the opposition ' s messages .\nmediterranean geopolitics aside , there ' s a lot more light than shade in grounds for marriage . kavallaris offsets the tragic aspect of penelope ' s story with romantic subplots and a supporting cast of quirky sit -

american voters had often broken with their liberal brethren when it came to same - sex marriage , a discrepancy usually attributed to the influence of black churches . it was also part of a deliberate strategy by gay - marriage opponents . in an internal memo unearthed in march as part of a court case , the national organization for marriage outlined a strategy\nto drive a wedge between gays and blacks .\nthis fissure was particularly ugly in california , where , in the aftermath of the prop 8 vote , many gay activists and white liberals blamed african - american voters for their side ' s defeat .\nsubs . by act 3 of 1951 , sec . 3 and sch . , for \u201cin and for that part b state or country\u201d .\ngrow and strengthen your relationships in your marriage , family , at work , with customers , anyone , by learning and practicing these skills .\nwith the wedding guests making their way home - no doubt nursing several sore heads - it looks like workmen have started to take apart the \u00a3100 , 000 marquee that housed the reception in the grounds of the middleton family home .\nas the campaigns entered their final stretch in late october , the marriage campaigners waited for new opposition tactics they ' d have to scramble to respond to - - and waited , and waited . but almost everything went almost exactly according to the same playbook that schubert , who had been retained by the national organization for marriage to manage all four state ballot campaigns , had laid out back in 2009 .\nwe kept waiting for them to zag , and they just kept zigging ,\nsilk said .\n( f ) a is tried for the murder of b . the fact that b prosecuted a for libel and that a was convicted and sentenced is relevant under section 8 as showing the motive for the fact in issue .\nafter law school , wolfson worked first as a prosecutor in the brooklyn district attorney ' s office , then for the independent counsel investigating the iran - contra affair . meanwhile , on legal pads late into the night , he wrote pro bono briefs for the lambda legal fund , which litigates on behalf of gay rights . he worked on discrimination cases involving aids patients and helped sue the boy scouts on behalf of gay youths . eventually , he went to work for lambda full time . all the while , he kept thinking about , and arguing for , marriage . wolfson was co - counsel on the hawaii supreme court case that , in 1993 , became the first - ever victory for same - sex marriage in an american court . but the ruling merely spurred voters and the state legislature to quickly find new ways to outlaw gay marriage in hawaii - - the first of the voter - approved anti - gay - marriage state constitutional amendments .\nin each of the four states where gay marriage was on the ballot , constructing broad coalitions and showcasing them would be crucial . the idea was to show voters that supporters of gay marriage could be churchgoers , or minorities , or even republicans . in the washington state campaign , for example , republican state legislators starred in some ads that emphasized a libertarian message .\nno . not in georgia anyway . as georgia divorce attorneys we have often found that it is a common misnomer that failure to consummate a marriage is grounds for an annulment . although this may be true in some states , just as laws concerning other areas of the law vary from state to state , divorce and other domestic relations laws often vary from state to state too . in fact , it is very common for divorce laws to vary widely between states . this is why it is imperative for those considering divorce in georgia to consult an attorney who is familiar with the specific requirements and distinctions in georgia divorce law .\nthis book is great for newly weds and those who have made the marriage trek for many years . you can open up your heart to the opness of thier hearts as they share their hard earned wisdom and grace . breath fresh life into your tired marrage , it can become great . michele from butte\n( i ) a applies to b for a debt due to a by sending a receipt for the money . b keeps the receipt and does not send the money . in a suit for the amount , a may prove this .\nwhen wolfson founded freedom to marry in 2003 , gay marriage was not yet legal in any u . s . jurisdiction . for years , it was a small - budget nonprofit that chiefly served as a platform for his own speeches and advocacy . but after the electoral defeats in california in 2008 and maine in 2009 , he realized the group needed to be something more . part of the reason gay marriage kept losing , he saw , was that it was constantly on the defensive . gay - marriage opponents , often backed by the republican party and catholic and evangelical churches , would methodically mobilize activists , collect signatures , and put gay - marriage bans on the ballot ; state - level activists who supported gay marriage would then have a few months to assemble an ad - hoc defense , scrambling to raise money and come up with a message in an effort that was inevitably too little , too late . the gay - rights movement had a variety of national groups devoted to causes like workplace rights and gays in the military , but there wasn ' t a single , national organization campaigning only for same - sex marriage .\na short , round , bald , slightly nebbishy presence , wolfson , ironically enough , resembles more than anything a new york divorce attorney . ironically , because marriage has been the consuming obsession of wolfson ' s life and career . nearly three decades ago , for his final paper at harvard law school in 1983 , wolfson wrote about same - sex marriage , a topic his professors regarded as exotic to the point of eccentricity . ( the idea of marriage for gays and lesbians wasn ' t totally new - - three gay - marriage lawsuits had been filed in american courts by 1971 , two years after the stonewall riots - - but they ' d been essentially laughed out of court , and few in legal circles saw reason to revisit the issue . )\na may prove these facts for the reasons stated in the last proceeding illustration .\nthe existence of the judgment is relevant , as showing motive for a crime .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1950 , for \u201cthe british crown\u201d .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1950 , for \u201cin any province\u201d .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1950 , for \u201ca british consul\u201d .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1937 , for \u201cgovernment of india\u201d .\nsubs . by act 3 of 1891 , sec 8 , for \u201cresident in\u201d .\nsubs . by act 18 of 1872 , sec . 9 , for \u201cwhen\u201d .\nsubs . by act 18 of 1872 , sec . 9 , for \u201con\u201d .\nsubs . by act 18 of 1872 , sec . 10 , for \u201ccriminal\u201d .\nsubs . by act 18 of 1872 , sec . 11 , for \u201chad\u201d .\nvideo conferencing in indian courts ? | stand up for a cause . . .\nfor now , we\u2019ll just have to use our imaginations about what that was .\ntwo pastors , a catholic archbishop , and a nun said the bill offended them on moral grounds , but a rabbi , a unitarian minister and a lutheran bishop spoke for the other side , in favor of the measure . another man accused the bill ' s backers of\npromoting homosexuality ,\ndestroying families , and spreading aids .\na german noblewoman enters into a loveless marriage with the dim - witted , unstable heir to the russian throne , then plots to oust him from power .\nbut prior to november , gay marriage had been placed on 31 state ballots - - and voted down 31 times . even in blue states like california ( 2008 ) and maine ( 2009 ) , defeat was universal . to opponents of gay marriage , that perfect record had become a powerful talking point - - proof that american voters stood firmly against any redefinition of the fundamental societal institution .\nthe people of this country have not changed their view that marriage is the union of a man and a woman ,\nbrian brown , president of the national organization for marriage , told me in august .\nthe only poll that counts is the vote , and we ' ve never lost the vote .\nthe opposition also seemed to be trying very hard to provoke confrontation . anti - gay - marriage demonstrators with large signs went to the gayest neighborhoods in seattle , apparently trying to draw some kind of response . on october 14 , a gay - marriage supporter tore a sign off a woman ' s car , yelled at her , and shoved a bystander . the man was arrested ; the gay - marriage campaign strongly condemned the attack ; the opponents sought to play it up as proof they were being persecuted . as a tactic , the move seemed to the gay - marriage advocates to signal desperation and a lack of financial resources .\nguests attend a wedding reception at the general headquarters officers\u2019 club , tokyo , after the marriage of raaf squadron leader d a s morgan and his bride , the former anne francoise de la chevalerie . lieutenant general ( lt gen ) h c h robertson , commander in chief of bcof ( third from left ) , who acted as the groom\u2019s father in receiving guests , speaks to unidentified guests in the grounds of the club .\nsubs . by act 3 of 1891 , sec . 6 , for section 54 .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1950 , for para ( 1 ) .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1948 , for \u201ccourts of british india\u201d .\nsubs . by the a . o . 1937 , for \u201cby order of government\u201d .\nsubs . by a . o . 1950 , for \u201cany country not forming part\u201d .\nsubs . by act 3 of 1887 , sec . 1 , for section 125 .\nacting as maid of honour for kate\u2019s royal wedding to prince william back in april 2011 \u2013 she made a name for herself as one of the country\u2019s most stylish socialites .\nplease call the bidwell mansion at ( 530 ) 895 - 6144 for more information .\nsonoma state historic park near downtown sonoma can accommodate 200 guests ( standing ) in the mission chapel . the adjacent mission courtyard provides space for 300 for a reception . the barracks courtyard is similar venue available for outdoor functions . the vallejo home and gardens a half mile west of the mission provides a lovely garden location for up to 200 guests .\nschubert and his allies were outspent several times over - - in the final tally across all four states , the pro - gay - marriage campaigns spent nearly $ 42 million versus about $ 11 million on schubert ' s side . to schubert , the lopsided finances showed that his losses had more to do with money than public sentiment . but to gay - marriage backers , they were proof of the draining enthusiasm for banning gay marriage .\nthey are running out of money to fight this ,\nsaid margaret hoover , a republican pundit , great - granddaughter of herbert hoover , and vocal gay - marriage advocate .

[ * fn5 * ] . to the extent that hegemonic interests change , and if these are a primary source of and influence on film imagery , then we should clearly expect film imagery to change as well , in a manner that is consistent with changing hegemonic interest . various authors have already shown that scientific accounts and indian policy are subject to such influences .\nthere have previously been at least a half - dozen neva gerber films available on dvd or vhs , but all of them were produced in the mid - to - late 20s , years after taylor was dead . now a film is available which was made when she knew taylor : the trail of the octopus , a serial from 1919 . this film generally has better quality than her later available films , and gives her much more to do .\nlike the revolutionary novel for young adults by alice childress that was its source , the film adaptation of a hero ain ' t nothing but a sandwich told the compelling story of a young man ' s addiction to heroin .\nthe film , an immediate hit with white audiences , was also popular with black moviegoers , who appreciated its innovative , at times subversive approach to contemporary concerns . as one reviewer noted : though much of imitation of life\nis dreadfully superficial and needlessly sentimental . . . it will really set america to thinking furiously .\n( the film was re - made less effectively in 1959 , with lana turner and juanita moore as the two widows . )\nonly recently have micheaux ' s tremendous accomplishments gained the critical appreciation by film historians and the recognition by the motion picture industry that they so richly deserve . today , micheaux is hailed as the first great black filmmaker in america .\na low - budget independent film with no established stars , home of the brave became both a critical and commercial success in the north and south alike and was applauded as a hollywood breakthrough in the presentation of its racial theme .\nyet the genius of the film was not in the events that miss jane relates but in her unique voice , which turns her personal history into a remarkable combination of slave narrative , folk history , sermon , and oral poetry .\n( tourneur obtained the cooperation of the real warden of sing sing , thomas mott osborne , and was able to film some scenes inside the prison itself . osborne was a prison reformer and a fascinating man in his own right . )\ntwo issues of a 1914 british fan magazine serialized the taylor / gibson film\nthe night riders of petersham\n. part 1 , published in august 1914 is online here and part 2 , published in september 1914 , is here .\narthur laurents ' play the way back , on which the film was based , featured a jewish character in the\nproblem\nrole ; but the film adaptation , directed by mark robson , turned him into a black man named peter\nmossy\nmoss ( james edwards ) , a young black private who suffers partial amnesia and hysterical paralysis after the death of his best friend , a white man named finch ( lloyd bridges ) whom he has known since childhood .\nit was re - made in 1986 by hansberry ' s widower , robert nemiroff , to commemorate the twenty - fifth anniversary of the original film . directed by black filmmaker bill duke , the remake starred danny glover and esther rolle .\nthe females in film noir were either of two types ( or archetypes ) - dutiful , reliable , trustworthy and loving women ; or femmes fatales - mysterious , duplicitous , double - crossing , gorgeous , unloving , predatory , tough - sweet , unreliable , irresponsible , manipulative and desperate women . usually , the male protagonist in film noir wished to elude his mysterious past , and had to choose what path to take ( or have the fateful choice made for him ) .\ngeorgia , georgia , an independent film whose original score and screenplay were written by noted black poet and author maya angelou , starred diana sands as georgia martin , a black singer who travels to stockholm , where she meets and falls in love with a white army deserter . but even overseas , georgia is unable to escape racial discrimination . the warnings to georgia that she should\nstick to her own kind\nseem overblown - until the film ends in a brutal murder .\ndespite a pat hollywood - style conclusion that reverses the play ' s message of black inequality , the film was an overwhelming hit with audiences . yet , as film critic vincent canby pointed out ,\nit is a measure of how little real progress there has been in the attitude of american movies toward black culture that a soldier ' s story , which could as easily have been made in 1964 as in 1984 , seems noteworthy today for its broad popular success .\na 1971 interview with silent film actress claire windsor is available online at urltoken , in which she discusses the impact of the taylor case on her life and career .

than - life romantic persona of shah rukh into his own more bruised brand of romance . twenty - two years later , shah rukh is still raj \u2014 tender , sensitive and resolutely chaste \u2013 at least with the woman he loves . imtiaz and shah rukh coming together should have created a romantic classic . instead imtiaz has made his weakest film to date . . .\nthe film will be a very interesting love story set in contemporary new york switching back and forth in 16th century and modern times . it will be a tasteful commercial film of high production values .\nfilm . for me that was a blow . i feel that i have never been part of any intelligent club . i wanted to make a very simple film with all my heart ,\nimtiaz said .\nafter running his movie \u2018shah\u2019 on ary recently , and seeing the phenomenal public response to it , mr . adnan knew what was next to ensure the film\u2019s longevity and unique place in the eyes of entertainment -

and after that , if you still don\u2019t feel the way i do ; well go ahead , sue me !\nthat is exactly why , when i saw sudhir mishra\u2019s 2003 art - house film \u2018hazaaron khwaishein aisi\u2019 ( a thousand desires such ) , i was completely blown away . a commentary on the indian political atmosphere leading up to the emergency , this romantic drama focuses on three delhi university students , their dreams and aspirations amidst the turmoil around them . theatrically released in india in 2005 after being screened at numerous film festivals internationally , the movie received universal critical acclaim , and is today a regarded as a modern classic .\nwrought in a sprightly technicoulour , ' hazaron khwaishein aisi ' is a heartfelt lament on india ' s failed political ambition of the 70 ' s . riding on the shoulders of its splendid troika of characters , the dreams of an entire nation hurtle down a pitfall , their bodies crushed and dreams spurned by the political tyranny of the main powers . while ' hazaron khwaishein aisi ' isn ' t always a pleasure to watch , - for it drags itself in parts in the middle , and is carried forward more by the strength of its characters than by the muddled political jargon that it carries with itself - - it is still wrought with high ambition , high cinematic adventure . right from the splendidly captured opening sequence of an inflamed placard of indira gandhi beside the tumult of the hindu - muslim riots , all the way to the rousing finale where all our beloved characters are crushed down , left bereaved and irreparable , ' hazaron khwaishein aisi ' is a splendid ode to india ' s tryst with fire , that was all too coolly , extinguished .\ndirector sudhir mishra & apos ; s hazaaron khwaishein aisi is a post - dated love letter to that lost generation . through the disparate but crisscrossing lives of two men and a woman , mishra ( is raat ki subah nahin , chameli ) tells you the collective story of a restless generation with a thousand desires and one desperate dream . and he asks why the finest young men and women in the best of urban colleges got obsessed with the idea of changing the world . and , why even in that season of daniel cohn - bendit and bob dylan , some preferred to join youth congress .\ntheir idealism breaks in bits and their destinations are irrevocably changed . the actors , even the minor players , are memorable . the pacing occasionally slows but never to the point of boredom . hazaaron is a finely crafted , textured film .\nthere always have been a dearth of hindi films that take up sensitive political themes as their subject matter . what is sadly missing is the quality of historicity , of acquainting the people with the course of history . the existing lacunae primarily have to do with the lack of perspective on the part of many film makers to see things in their socio - historical context and to grasp the link between the past and present . this perhaps could explain the reason why significant events , whether it is the naxalbari peasant uprising or the emergency , of our post - independent political history have not been made into meaningful films . after more than two decades of silence , sudhir mishra\u2019s hazaaron khwaishein aisi ( thousands of such wishes ) comes to \u2018reclaim the past\u2019 .\nall in all , \u2018hazaaron khwaishein aisi\u2019 is one of the few overwhelming cinematic experiences that bollywood has given me . it has a story that deserved to be told ; a true story ! yes , this is a tribute to those countless students from delhi university ; educated , elite , rich students , who left their promising futures to effect a change ; to end injustice and inequality once and for all . yes , their means were flawed , but at least they believed in something . they had a fire in them , a burning desire and unflinching faith in an idea , an idea greater than any individual . it is this intellectually charged environment that is missing in contemporary indian institutions . universities , where once ideas floated and freedom and liberalism were the catch phrases ; has today turned into breeding grounds for right - wing fanaticism .\ntop - notch performances , touching back - ground score and its intense script take ' hazaaron khwaishein aisi ' to never - before - scaled heights of cinema . its a movie about believing in something so unconditionally , that you give whatever it takes to stand up for it . . even if it is your life . the film showcases the three selfless lives of free india ' s first generation in their youth set in the back - drop of naxalite moment and emergency . shiny ahuja is dynamic as vikram . kay kay menon ( siddrath ) conveys more through his expressions and tone than this dialogs , once again proving his excellence as an actor . chitrangada singh ( geeta ) ligths up every frame not only with her flawless beauty but , equally with her deep performance as well . she is simply brilliant . this movie sets the standard for excellence in cinema . a true masterpiece .\nat the heart of sudhir mishra ' s political chronicle about three individuals during the india of the 70 ' s lies an inherent cry for reform that is valid even in the current age that we live in . ' hazaaron khwaishen aisi ' then , is not just an account of the naxal movement that rose , survived , faltered and eventually died in the dictatorial times of indira gandhi . as the title rightly suggests , it is about a thousand such dreams that have been left unfulfilled , or soured if realized ! not since gulzar has a director managed to weave a political story with such assurance .\na thousands wishes like this , each one takes your life . a thousand cravings arise and still too less . three flawless characters in post independent india struck by poverty , illiteracy , riots and corruption find their love triangular way out from university education with completely different personalities , background and ambitions . the portrayal of vikram ' s love for geeta and geeta ' s love for sidhharth and sidharth ' s dedication for his ideals of extremism can be easily compared with each other and still at the top of all that history could ever see . the movie depicts platonic love intertwined with the story line which deals with the tragedies in modern india and in some or other way with each three of them . i don ' t know why but i tend to remember american history x while thinking about hazaaron khwaishen aisi , most probably by the untouched levels of brilliance of flawless acting of flawless characters achieved by the shiny , kay kay and chitrangada . believe me it could easily have been made its milestones with the name indian history x . but still sudhir mishra knows what he wants to show and for this matter\nhazaaron khwaishen aisi\ntells it all . the way romance has been portrayed with the love chemistry is breath taking .\na romantic triangle plays itself out against the backdrop of history in this drama from india . in 1969 , three students are completing their education as india ' s political climate becomes increasingly volatile . siddharth ( kay kay menon ) is a half - caste who believes the indian political system must be made more responsive to the needs of the people . vikram ( roshan ahuja ) comes from a wealthy family and isn ' t especially concerned with the winds of change . and geeta ( chitrangda singh ) is from a middle - class upbringing , taking the middle ground , supporting positive change , but rejecting radicalism . while the three students are friends , vikram is infatuated with geeta , while she harbors an unrequited love for siddharth . as time passes , vikram becomes a successful businessman while geeta follows siddharth into activism , but the government crackdowns in 1979 find the three friends reunited under unexpected circumstances . hazaaron khwaishein aisi has also been screened under the english - language title a thousand dreams such as these . ~ mark deming , rovi\nset against a backdrop of immense political turmoil of the late 60s and 70s in the country , hazaaron khwaishein aisi is the story of siddharth ( kay kay ) , geeta ( chitrangda ) and vikram ( shiney ahuja ) . geeta is in love with siddharth but politics is siddharth ' s first love . vikram , however , is in love with geeta . while siddharth joins the naxal movement , geeta marries off in england without giving up her love for siddharth . vikram meanwhile , becomes a fixer in the corridors of power in a country that is in the throes of political chaos . when geeta eventually joins siddharth in his movement and they fall into deep trouble , vikram uses his connections to help geeta out . but helping siddharth lands vikram on the wrong side of the law . geeta is left with the choice of going with siddharth or choosing the man who put his life on the line for her . the protagonists find themselves in situations that only the quirk of density could decide . critically acclaimed at 13 international film festivals\nit was sudhir mishra ' s name that dragged me to the theater . while buying the tickets i read the name chitrangada singh . that made my decision to watch the movie more firm . how could i forget the face i had seen once in a magazine . a face that was way , way beautiful than today ' s ash , etc . etc . and then the movie itself turned out beyond expectations . not only the story and screenplay , the direction too is slick and the characters are so real . especially shiny and chitrangada . why doesn ' t every one make films like this one ? why ? hazaaron khwaishein aisi leaves me with thousands of wishes yet unfulfilled . one of them is working under people such as ruchi narain and working under dazed amazement with people such as chitrangada . ( filmi buffs ! here ' s is the true beauty ) . thank you sir nandy and rangita for producing moneys ' real worth . any vacancies at pnc or with ruchi ( as assistant in production , direction , just about anything . . . please count me in ! ) thank you .\ntitled after the famous couplet by the legendary urdu poet mirza ghalib , \u2019hazaaron khwaisein aisi\u2019 is essentially about human desires , and how they are influenced by people and times . siddharth tyabji ( kay kay menon ) is a young revolutionary , inspired by the fidel castro and mao , who joins the naxalite movement , in an attempt to end all discrimination and injustice by the state . geetha ( chitrangada singh ) is a sheltered middle - class girl confused about her life , and in love with siddharth . vikram ( shiney ahuja ) is the son of a middle class gandhian who wants to make it big , and is madly i love with geetha . how their lives transform , beliefs mold and passions change , in the politically volatile 70s form the crux of the story .\nmishra doesn ' t fall into the trap of making ' hazaaron khwaishen aisi ' into a generic political movie . in fact , the movie doesn ' t even show us any political leaders of the time . what mishra does is use the cinematic language of allowing characters to be allegorical references to the whole ! vikram ' s failed love and his eventual state at the climax is just that - an allegory to what we have been left with . siddharth ' s disillusionment also acts as a failure of the whole movement . and amidst all of this , geeta finds her true voice . her character assumes shape after going through upheavals of love , hope , disappointment , exploitation and finally comprehension ! much like our country indeed ! the recurring haunting track , ' man yeh bawaraa ' aptly captures the mood and ethos , and lingers in you long after you ' ve left the movie .\n' hazaaron khwaishein aisi ' is basically a story of two antithetical classes of society represented by two male protagonists , a socially conscious rich kid , siddharth tayabji ( kay kay ) and a financially challenged , ethically depraved poor kid , vikram malhotra ( shiney ahuja ) . it depicts how social and financial statuses play a definitive role in the development of individuals and their priorities . siddharth is an idealist who wants to change the world with his bare hands . highly inspired by the marxists school of teaching , he abandons the comfortable confines of his palatial home and sets out for a six month social service voyage to bhojpur , bihar ; never to return back . vikram , on the other hand is an extremely practical guy who won ' t mind stooping to any levels of integrity to achieve the lucre he has been devoid of all his life . the dictionary defines his state as suffering from plutomania . soon after college , he starts walking down the corridors of power and becomes a lobbyist working as a link between politicians who are looking for a quick buck and parties who have vested interests in interactions best described as ' under the table ' . stepping on many shoulders on his way , even siddharth ' s at times , he attains what he set out for , pretty easily . he treats everyone like his personal chewing gum , masticating them long enough for his breath to be fresh and later throwing them away in pits he will never cross again when they grow tasteless .\nbut such minor quibbles left aside , ' hazaaron khwaishen aisi ' is a movie that must be seen by every collegian but sadly won ' t ! they are too busy following the fads of the johars and chopras ! and mind you , this movie is not an exercise in history lesson ! there are some fine performances that adorn this cinematic jewel . kaykay is as he usually is - competent . in an underwritten character , he manages to do exceptionally well . chitrangada singh is eerily similar to the late smita patil . she is almost a reincarnate ! her emotional range aside , she is also a true indian beauty - dark and elegant ! ram kapoor as her husband leaves a definite impression . eventually though , it is shiny ahuja ' s performance that rivets you the most . in a virtuoso display of talent , he announces himself to bollywood . whether it his cocky smirk , his dormant rage , his hidden anguish or his genuine irritation - shiny is simply brilliant . easily one of this year ' s best performances !\nnow years on we hear that the makers of the film have decided on making a sequel . confirming the same on twitter , sudhir mishra posted , \u201cit\u2019s not an accident that pritish produced hazaaron ! i narrated d idea n he said go for it . nobody else had d balls . n now v will do d sequel though d final script is not ready yet . \u201d further talking about whether sequel to the film will feature chart busting music like the first sudhir added , \u201cswanand n shantanu will hopefully agree to be part of the journey\u201d .\nit is a scene rich with comedy , irony and inexorable sadness . mishra rewinds to the 1970s , a time rife with angst when jawaharlal nehru ' s dreams of a tryst with destiny gave way to disillusion with authority ; when naxalism and the emergency redefined india ; and when college students called each other comrade and dreamed of fashioning a better world . but hazaaron is far from a dry political treatise . mishra and his co - writers ruchi narain and shiv kumar subramaniam create a profoundly moving and engaging story of three people ' s journey through this devastated landscape .\nhazaaron khwahishein aisi doesn\u2019t have your usual song and dance routines and certainly doesn\u2019t have the most traditional bollywood filmy kahaani , but the characters and their stories pull you in and keep you asking for more . shiney ahuja truly shines ( i couldn\u2019t help myself ) in his debut film as the hopelessly - in - love vikram . as much as i hated his character for refusing to move on with his life , i also admired his unconditional love for a woman who barely gave him the time of day . kay kay menon ( not to be confused with singer k . k . ) gave a powerful performance as the consumed - by - idealism - siddharth , but i can\u2019t say much more because i really disliked his character overall . last , but certainly not least , chitrangada singh blew me away with her bollywood debut thanks to her graceful portrayal of the complicated and frustrating geeta . part of me hated geeta\u2019s character because of her unrelenting tunnel vision , while another part me understood how and why she personified one of my favorite quotes from the once and future king : \u201cperhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically - to those who hardly think about us in return . \u201d\nhe rush of youth defies description . it has to be experienced . but the outcome of its impulse and conviction of its ideology is what defines every individual ' s coming of age .\nit could be the story of three ordinary , or not so ordinary , people , depending on the given circumstances , if the setting of this drama wasn ' t such a crucial time in history .\nthe late 1960s and early 1970s were turbulent times - - angst filled and strife scarred . it was the time of vietnam , of flower power , of the emergency and the rise of the naxal movement in india . and a booming population of restless youth was eager to wage war against anything that curbed idealism .\nthe three study in a prestigious delhi college and come from different stratas of society . in the beginning , the three friends are carefree and desultory . but as they get out in the real world , they learn the ropes of survival .\nsiddharth dreams of revolution . he becomes part of the naxal movement in the villages of bihar . his emotional attachment to geeta doesn ' t stop him from his political pursuits .\npost - college , geeta is married to an ias officer but she continues to see siddharth on the sly .\nvikram too has always nursed unconditional love in his heart for geeta . but that ' s all there is to his soft side . a small town boy once , vikram climbs the social ladder by networking in the big league unabashedly .\ngeeta ends her marriage and starts living in the village with siddharth . this is the time in the film when geeta ' s character evolves . from a london - bred girl to teaching village women , or having a child out of wedlock or asking favours from vikram in hours of need to a lot of other gruesome realities , geeta discovers herself .\nthe story movies on . the characters mature and move on . they regret . they apologise . they change . their lives are not the same .\nplays like a novel spanning a decade . while geeta is a picture of poignancy and inspires awe , vikram ' s complexities leave the viewer perturbed . there is a lot to his greyness that is unsaid and yet subtly hinted through mere expressions . he is the most mysterious of them all .\nsiddharth is the most real . in the beginning , he appears to be a rebel for effect . gradually , his seriousness about his cause unveils . later , his aggravation at the futility of it all unfolds . his weaknesses as the man in a relationship aren ' t hidden either . eventually , he changes the course of his journey . the fire of his conviction still smoulders , but the flame is missing .\nthe actors do complete justice to their brilliantly etched out characters . kaykay moves you with his intensity . and shiny is a startling improvement from the lacklustre cop he played in karam . but chitrangada singh , whose face draws inevitable comparisons to smita patil , is definitely someone to watch out for . she is a complete natural who zaps the camera with a passionate performance .\nthe protagonists act like metaphors for the maddening 1970s . the rush of youth is long gone . the restrain of experience has sunk in . the whiff of a bittersweet memory lingers . but that ' s all it is - - a memory - - a chapter of history that has closed .\nsub : sam : your crazy ! this is an excellent movie . dont believ sam . . either he is crazy or dim ! its amazing . . easily compared to a hollywood flick . must watch ! posted by saonli\nsub : great movie it ' s a movie worth watching . so much to learn from the movie . posted by mehnaz\nsub : movie is a gem ! ! ! ! ! i saw this movie and i am in completely awe at the brilliance of it . this is a good quality indian cinema and definitely worth . . . posted by arun gupta\nsub : most crapy movie i have ever seen hi please dont go by the reviews tis is one of the most crapy movie ever made . senseless . the director wants to justify his point . . . posted by sam\ni believe in the ideology , man , but my dad ' s too rich ,\nsays an inebriated college boy to his more committed leftist classmates in sudhir mishra ' s superbly wrought new film .\ni can ' t leave all this .\nevery generation needs something to sell . in the 60s , they peddled revolution . the smart ones kept long sideburns , grew longer beards , got drunk on country liquor , wore lal salaam knickers and spewed dialectical materialism to pretty girls who often lost their hearts and virginity ( not always in that order ) to them . then both proceeded to study history of mentalities in yale and got married . preferably not to each other .\nthe honest ones left for the countryside & apos ; to the backwaters of bihar and the killing fields of bengal & apos ; to manufacture a peasants & apos ; insurrection . they bared their bottoms in the paddy fields , taught marx primer to starving farmers and battled both police and upper caste reactionaries with countrymade guns . some died ; most were reborn either as ngos or professors of social science .\nthe movie ploughs through the mindscape of its protagonists . why shiney ahuja , the son of a gandhian , hates the idealists and becomes the finest fixer in delhi . why kay kay menon , a retired judge & apos ; s son , gives up the good life to raise a revolution . and , you wonder if chitrangda , the sincere and refined england - returned girl , really loves kay kay , or just the idea of the man she thinks he is . it & apos ; s all told with craft and control , with humour and that dirty word , passion . and in the end we have an intelligent , imploring movie that leaves you twisted like a cork and wistful like an old woman . and , you feel jealous of its characters & apos ; of the lives they lived in those angry seasons of the almost young .\nhka wouldn & apos ; t have been the same without shantanu moitra & apos ; s blend of folksy - classical music that helps the film travel inside your skin . or , without its actors , all superbly sensitive . what stays in memory though is debutante chitrangda & apos ; s face : a complex map of beauty , mystery and symmetry with the colours of the setting sun .\nkamalahasan & apos ; s back & apos ; this time on a rollicking ride aboard mumbai express . director singeetham sreenivasa rao , with whom kamal has teamed up earlier for a pioneering film like pushpak , almost manages to pull it off this time as well . slick editing , comic timing and brilliant dialogues give mumbai express a frenetic pace , though it does sag a bit in the second half losing steam as the story takes a new turn .\nthree crooks with the perfect plan to make it big overnight hit one hurdle after the other , forcing them to turn to a deaf ( and dumb in equal measure ) kamal for help . and help he does , by abducting the wrong kid & apos ; that , too , a cop & apos ; s son . as if taking the law head - on wasn & apos ; t enough , the pesky little brat has them clutching their heads in desperation .\nsaurabh shukla is brilliant , but manisha , as the mother of the abducted child , has precious little to do , which doesn & apos ; t come as a surprise for no one is allowed to take away the spotlight in a kamal film . however , while story - screenplay - dialogue - writer kamal carries the film on his shoulders , actor kamal is overshadowed by crazy crook vijay raaz and corrupt cop om puri .\nom , as the cop eager to hide his double life with mistress manisha from prying eyes and vijay , as the kidnapping kingpin left licking one wound after the other by kamal , bring the house down . literally .\nkamal , no doubt , drives mumbai express to its destination , but it & apos ; s vijay and om who romp home with all the accolades . ah , yes ! not to forget the horse for displaying amazing horse sense .\never seen a guy make it up to his girl across a peephole and a closed door & apos ; well , will smith does exactly that in hitch just minutes before the final credits start rolling . that , after breezing through the movie as the successful and elusive date doctor alex hitch hitchens , who makes a profession out of hitching up people and , in the process , stitching together relationships .\nand that & apos ; s what makes the movie so endearingly funny . hitch & apos ; despite his smooth - talking ways and his unique gameplans for every lovelorn man in town & apos ; realises that falling in love just might be the best thing to happen . that there is more to getting hitched than making the proper moves and brushing up on that perfect smooch . that a four - minute speed date and the right pick - up line at the bar are not what love is all about . as the movie goes on a crazy tailspin across a summery new york , it gets the romance element just right , without falling into formulaic , mushy cliches . will puts in a thoroughly smart performance and eva as the on - the - move gossip columnist is just about believable . it & apos ; s the sort of light , zippy comedy you want to watch to keep your spirits up .\njournalist turned filmmaker samar khan & apos ; s debut has seriously put the indian railways cooking to shame , even that of the notoriously bland & apos ; continental & apos ; variety . indeed , so insipid and tasteless is kuch meetha ho jaaye that it might actually make you yearn for the hot water that is served under the pseudonym of soup , at 7pm on the rajdhani express . and this , despite the lucky ingredients of a & apos ; k & apos ; name and the presence of superstar shah rukh khan .\na motley group assembles at the fictitious ganganagar airport to catch a flight to delhi . a technical snag in the plane delays them for long hours , forcing them to put up with one another , leading to confrontations , confessions and reunions . a story like this , which has no movement in space and time , needs strong characters and engaging situations . this is where kmhj falls flat on its face . the characters are all one - sided , and the situations , school skit - like . samar khan & apos ; s handling of relationships is amateurish and simplistic .\narshad warsi is genuinely good & apos ; funny , sensitive and endearing . mahima is okay , but then , her role doesn & apos ; t demand much . self . the rest of the cast are all wasted .\nthe boss is back , the posters declare . meant to chill our bones with terror or tickle them to laughter as to when exactly did he go away & apos ; weren & apos ; t his posters always staring down at us as we hurried past them to meet our own bosses , perhaps . or indifferently stared back at them , as we sipped roadside tea . but , with dada , that indifference will turn to desperate pleading , dada dearest , we love you and all that stuff , but please go back to wherever you are saying you are back from .\ntake all those white clothes and hop into that helicopter that & apos ; s so mysteriously always at your disposal , anyway . away into those dark clouds , perhaps , under which you try to dance as delightedly as aamir in kale megha song . after you have done the other khan act that not shordi , khaashi , maylaria , bhalobhasa is the problem . here , we sympathise . at your age , two women falling all over you can be stressful .\ntake them with you as they are stressful for us , too . but don & apos ; t put them into that train running through mysterious landscapes and tunnels only to stop at burdwan junction . along the track they may find more of the sword - wielding men that director t . l . v . prasad was so busy recruiting that he never really got a chance to get down to the story , plot , or any development remotely logical . all of which fails to give the tiniest clue , even if we agree you were away , as to why you are back .\na family gathers in a quaint cottage in idyllic himalayas . a quirky guest arrives one day . one night , an earthquake destroys the bridge that connects them to mainland . electricity goes off . water runs out . food ends . panic begins & apos ;\nwatching sandip ray & apos ; s nishi japon induces a sense of deja vu . it reminds one of two satyajit ray films in terms of its treatment , thematic content and characterisation . kanchenjunga , because of nature metaphors like mountains and landslides symbolising inner avalanche of human emotions . and shakha proshakha , which shows hidden discord breaking down semblance of congenial familial relationships . some images are downright dittos . like bedtime conversation between husband and wife while she applies night cream on her face and neck . is it a deliberate device used by the director to acknowledge allegiance to his filmmaking gharaana & apos ; maybe . because what prevails is a sense that time is suspended . it & apos ; s neither past nor present . which is fine . except when disaster hits in a seemingly contemporary world , one wonders where the cellphones are . or for that matter , the landline , television , or radio .\nan excellent ensemble cast shares great chemistry . especially , two seasoned thespians with shared & apos ; ray history & apos ; & apos ; soumitra chatterjee and deepankar de . sabyasachi chakraborty is a straight - talking , irreverent army doc with a penchant for bird hunting ( literally and connotatively ) and rituparna sengupta is his beautiful , dutiful wife . parambrata chatterjee is the reticent younger brother , with some kind of & apos ; never made known & apos ; angst . and raima sen , with her fluid child - woman face , dulcet voice ( rabindrik inflections in perfect lip - sync ) and doe eyes , is definitely bengali cinema & apos ; s lambe race ki ghodi .\na charming feature of the film is its subtle humour . like the dig at bengali sartorial sense when young parambrata , wearing & apos ; muffler & apos ; goes to fetch & apos ; monkey cap & apos ; . or a delightful coinage like & apos ; aabaar khaabaar & apos ; reinforcing a legacy of memorable rayisms .\npj . harvey appeared flat and bare - chested on an album cover and hell broke , precisely because women , bodies and all , universally , are circumscribed by expectations . and precisely at a time when we have increasingly proliferating standards of conformities to go by & apos ; impaling navels , practising the right jut of one & apos ; s hip under a thong & apos ; trust a classicist bong to focus our collective confused gaze back where it belongs , apparently . to all cultural mammaries / memories , translated into the familiar bangali polemic of the haves and have - nots . after all , by the film & apos ; s own admission , the lithe veejays and anorexic models are far too hip by bong standards .\nbut more than what women want or are made to want for their bodies ( & apos ; the history , philosophy and mathematics behind the female anatomy & apos ; ) , this film is a plea to tortured men who haven & apos ; t somehow managed to get past the adolescent fixation of looking at women as overstuffed walking bras . as tota roy chowdhury & apos ; s character puts it , sympathetically , & apos ; though it is impossible for a man to feel any kind of attraction for that body , there are certain things one learns to compromise on & apos ; . as long as she breeds well . very charitable , no doubt . and quite likely a very grave issue of marital discontent in bangali families that we don & apos ; t really get to know of . the film does end up revealing the utter ridiculousness of the husband & apos ; s & apos ; narrow - mindedness & apos ; and the pathos generated by it .\nthe performances . are credible and the cinematography , soundtrack , baulgaan are tasteful and segue well , and there & apos ; s only just the one hideous sculpture near the end . but even then , my male friends unanimously insist that they & apos ; re plagued much more by their own relative sizes than the swell of their counterparts . now that is something truly rendered silent by the norms of society and patriarchy . so why not film a series on those anxieties , one each , on all the penile malfunctions that dr lodh & apos ; s posters promise to set straight instead & apos ;\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ngeeta rao has two admirers -

existent social structure and more importantly , a vicious hindu - muslim conflict ; no one in their right minds believed that this nation would last as long as it did . on 15th august 1947 , when our forefathers led by pandit nehru made a tryst with destiny , they had an \u201cidea of india\u201d , a secular , liberal , democratic republic . and surprisingly enough , we continue to be one even today .\nbut that is not to say we never faced challenges , some which even threatened our very existence . the most potent among them would probably be the 1975 emergency , imposed by ms indira gandhi , and the nation - wide anti - government protests led by gandhian jayaprakash narayan ( known as the jp movement ) that preceded it . the darkest period in our country\u2019s post independent history , this attack on democracy brought india to its brink .\nthe sad part is , young india knows very little of these times \u2014 and the struggle that the people mounted in a quest for equality and change . one of the reasons might be the lack of quality cinematic works depicting these times . how many movies can you think of , which chronicles the tumultuous times of the 70s in india ? none , i presume .\nright from the very first frame , i realized that there is an earnestness and honesty in the filmmaker , which reflected in his work . there is no overt melodrama , cinematic flourishes or pitched sequences . instead , the proceedings are very mellow , with the script and the performances doing all the talking . the screenplay , co - written by mishra himself , is taut and displays a strong control over its characters ; their conflicting ideas are depicted with a sincerity that floored me . we care for the people we see , though stop short of loving them , as they are not great people . they all have their flaws , but the sheer realism ends up emotionally moving you . though there is a strong political undercurrent of naxalism , revolution and state excesses ; this is a story of people , and their lives in the backdrop of these difficult times , which ends up making a greater impact .\ntechnically flawless , the movie\u2019s soundtrack is worth special mention . without typical bollywood song - and - dance numbers , this soundtrack , composed by debutante shantanu moitra , is soulful and heart - wrenching . it complements the story , leaving a tremendous impact on the viewer .\nwithout the performances that the movie had , it would have been half as good as it turned out to be . kay kay menon in one of his finest performances till date , completely gets into the skin of siddharth , and portrays him with the layers and depth the character deserves . a man driven by the fire in him , and his eventual transformation is wonderfully effected by menon . shiney ahuja too impresses in his debut , as the no - nonsense power broker in the corridors of the government . a man you might loathe , his redemption is in his unflinching love for geetha , which eventually transforms his life ."]}

packed with stupendous special effects and consistently outstanding production values , making it one of the most interesting and unusual sci - fi efforts to come out after toho ' s hiatus from the space genre with their 1977 film , war in space . blessed with an international cast and a believably constructed future world , sayonara jupiter is a little known gem that may stumble in its editing , but in the end makes for a highly enjoyable science fiction yarn that has a lot going for it .\ndaikaijusokogeki ! wrote : i also already made a topic about the film . urltoken\nset in the 22nd century , sayonara jupiter depicts an era where much of the solar system has been colonised . the jupiter solarisation project has been established to turn jupiter into a new sun , thereby providing energy to humankind ' s far - flung outposts . of course , not everyone is comfortable with this proposal of planetary genocide , with the jupiter church performing anti - solarisation demonstrations and being a general nuisance to the cause . however , a newly discovered black hole threatens the existence of earth , so dr . eiji honda ( tomokazu miura ) \u2013 surely a loving homage to eiji tsuburaya and ishiro honda \u2013 and his colleagues devise a new plan where jupiter will be sacrificed in the hope that it will adjust the black hole ' s trajectory .\npeter\n( paul tagawa ) leads the cult known as the jupiter church with pop songs and dolphin tricks .\na bigger problem is the film ' s depressing and wholesale lifting of visual designs and sequences from western productions . the approach to the solarization ships hovering over jupiter shamelessly steals miniature designs and camera angles whole cloth from both\nthe best from over 15 years of asian film reviews , interviews , features and news . . .\nprobe reveals that a wayward black hole is heading toward the solar system and which will destroy all life , but honda hits upon the idea of altering his\nsolarization\nplans for jupiter and instead send jupiter into the black hole , thus altering its trajectory .\nwith this in mind , the amount of time dedicated to an earth - bound subplot involving the jupiter church , who live in an idyllic , beach - based commune ( shot on okinawa ) , and their mascot dolphin named jupiter is puzzling . interludes where jupiter church leader peter ( paul tagawa ) whips out his acoustic guitar to sing songs about how pleasant the world is , coupled with montages of wildlife frolicking about and enjoying their natural surroundings , feel like they ' re from a different film altogether . the motivation behind the jupiter church is generally questionable . they clearly love what earth has to offer , but are happy to see that be destroyed , along with themselves and billions more , if it means that jupiter is not sacrificed to deflect the black hole .\nthis entry was posted in theater fantastique and tagged 80 ' s , dolphin , japan , jupiter , killer shark , science fiction .\nyes , you read that rating right . five stars out of five . i find that films that get this kind of rating are the top in their genres or fields . if that\u2019s the measurement , then sayonara jupiter is a clear winner because it\u2019s in a genre of its own . quite what genre that is is anyone\u2019s guess . i\u2019ll do my best to describe this film to you but it does get a bit abstract . here goes .\ni confess to being one of the actors in sayonara jupiter - - as a space pilot in the beginning and end of the movie . in fact , that guy reaching out for a gravitationless hamburger in one of your photos is me . your review is much too kind to the film . it ' s most distinctive attribute : it was ( at that time , at least ) the most expensive science fiction movie ever made in japan . charlie in washington , dc\nfor all its mistakes and cheesy melodrama ( of which there is a lot ) , sayonara jupiter is strangely endearing nonetheless and gave the sub -

stop information , sometimes large sweeping concepts that have little to nothing to do with the overall story that it is trying to tell . whether these were intentional red hearings or just weird tidbits of info about the world that these characters inhabit , it ' s still unknown by this reviewer , but it accomplishes its end goal in keeping us on our toes in expecting the unexpected . visually this film is in a class of its own and that is really something when you consider the absolute oddness that is at the core of this production . without a doubt , this film took me for a loop and when i made it to the end of this twisted little sci - fi tale i could truthfully say that i had seen something that i ' ve never seen before . give this one a try if you ' re up for something different , refreshing , and wholly unbelievable . sayonara jupiter is . . . . .\nwe don ' t have enough data to suggest any movies based on bye -

fi film a much - needed technological revamp .\nwhen it comes to off the wall situations and unpredictable narratives , sayonara jupiter stands proud in its obscurity as it throws a ton of information at you that simply comes off as crazy . first of all , the cult terrorist group the \u201cjupiter church\u201d , is run by a spaced out guru who sings nonsensical songs about a dolphin named jupiter in order to inspire his followers . say what ? not only that , but this peaceful group ' s main goal is to stop the transition of jupiter , from a planet to a sun , by injuring and killing as many people as they can . hell , even when they find out that the only way to save mankind from the black hole is to destroy jupiter , they still don ' t give a shit and basically decide to continue on with the sabotage of the \u201cjupiter solarization project\u201d simply out of spite . needless to say their motivations are anything but logical , but there in lies the appeal of this off kilter production . in this stellar smorgasbord we get unusually blatant product placement , a ridiculously hilarious and brutal jaws homage , a mysterious alien race , hints of an ancient civilization on mars , the already mentioned space hippy terrorists , and a zero gravity space sex scene that is truly out of this world in execution and delivery . with all of this weirdness , how can you really go wrong ?\nthe film is like nothing made by the japanese film industry before or since . like an aging marathon runner , toho ' s visual effects department , which had been as good as any in the world in the late - 1950s and early - ' 60s , had become downright quaint in the wake of\nnow let ' s get down to what this film really excels in , aside from its oddity factor , and that ' s the effects . with a combination of visually splendid planet - scapes , essentially sublime matte work and wonderfully crafted miniatures , sayonara jupiter is a non - stop thrill ride for those of you out there that appreciate the practical art of filmmaking . you could almost say that the movie ' s effects far surpass the film ' s other elements , coming off as more of a showcase of the collaborative filmmakers ' artistic efforts over the core of the story . every aspect of the movie ' s visuals are obsessively constructed in a tangible presentation that fully brings this production to life . you ' ll find yourself getting caught up in the moment as you witness scene upon scene of atmospheric space anomalies that just exude atmosphere and tone . the presentation is absolutely fantastic , and the unimaginable worlds that sayonara jupiter is able to bring to the table is a sure sign that this production is not to be taken lightly . in the end , it ' s the combination of all of these factors that really give the film its unusual appeal . be it the outlandish premise , the diverse cast of characters , or the sheer visual beauty that this movie is able to convey , you really can ' t deny that this is a spectacle that always keeps you guessing , and for that alone it ' s worth a look .\ni also already made a topic about the film . urltoken it is available on dvd from discotek media , so i ' d give it a rental .\nshanghai express director : sammo hung year 1986 shanghai express , also known as millionare ' s express , is a dense action comedy film th . . .\nalthough much time and expertise was dedicated to the technical aspects of the production , it appears that the narrative doesn ' t receive the same amount of attention , as sayonara jupiter struggles to keep its many story strands in order . some scenes are bogged down in copious mumbo -

up novel 2010 : odyssey two ( 1982 ) . both clarke ' s and komatsu ' s books were published the same year , with the film adaptation of sayonara jupiter making it into japanese cinemas months before 2010 : the year we make contact was released in the u . s . , rendering any accusations of copying or ripping off somewhat moot . however , it ' s likely there was a competitive element in seeing who could finish their production to the highest standard first .\nalthough a big - screen iteration of the story was always the writer ' s goal , komatsu ' s efforts also yielded a novel published in 1982 . in the spring of 1983 , toho began film production in earnest , with koji hashimoto assigned to direct . having worked as an assistant director for various tokusatsu productions throughout the 60s and 70s , sayonara jupiter was hashimoto ' s debut as a fully -

hazard and chaotic manner . it ' s a wild production that truly feels untamed thanks to all the diverse elements that inhabit its twisting narrative . the acting portrayals of tomokazu miura and diane dangely , as the star crossed lovers dr . eiji honda and maria basehart , are a nice touch to what could have been a rather disconnected space yarn . though the strangeness of the film does allow for an extremely detached presentation to unfold , we are still pulled in by both actors commendable approaches to their respective characters and that is quite an accomplishment .\nwhen his friend comes in and wrestles him . the lead later leaves to meet with one of the scientists planning to tour jupiter ' s atmosphere , then his friend plops in a movie and it ' s\nfilm historian stuart galbraith iv ' s most recent essays appear in criterion ' s new three -

gravity love scene between miura and former flame - turned - jupiter church activist maria ( dangely diane ) is another particularly impressive special effect , although the prolonged sight of two naked people dreamily fondling each other whilst floating through the cosmos can be chuckle - inducing . the film also utilises a huge , multilingual cast . characters wear a universal translating button , resulting in conversations that often mix japanese , english , french and german depending on who ' s speaking , which is interesting to see play out . the production sought the talents of many french , german and canadian actors , however , many of the minor english - speaking roles seem to be performed by amateurs or semi - professionals , which occasionally stand out as being particularly awkward . as was the case with the green slime , they were most likely expatriates living in japan .\neasily discotek ' s best toho dvd to date , sayonara jupiter is an excellent release across the board , featuring superb video and audio quality while also being stocked with a ton of extras . to be fair , though , this release isn ' t quite as grand as the pioneer two disc set that was released in japan , but given that the region 2 set is now long out of print , sold for more than three times the cost of this one , and lacks english viewing options , the choice between the two should be easy for most .\ntomokazu miura takes on the role of dr . eiji honda , the scientific hero of this interstellar enigma . miura does an excellent job in this wild effort , and he helps bring all of these fantastic and out of control elements together , allowing the ridiculousness of all that is going on around him seem somewhat plausible and genuine . if there is one thing to be said about sayonara jupiter , it ' s that it is a film that could easily have fallen into spoof territory . with such a large array of wackiness combined with a fantastical premise , you ' d think the film would be categorized as a comedy , but thanks to the dead - serious performance of tomokazu the movie sustains its craziness and revels in it with a straight - laced disposition . the central character of eiji honda is essential in keeping all of these elements in check and miura does a wonderful job in wrangling in all of the galactic mayhem .\nawesome ! it must have been an interesting shoot to be on , seeing that the film had a rather diverse cast and was rather ambitious , being the most expensive sci -

because someone helpfully carved the details onto the surface of mars for us to read ! so , while our heroes are digesting this information , a space probe with some of the cast onboard is destroyed by a rogue black hole . this black hole is on a collision course with our sun which will most likely destroy the inner solar system and us along with it . faced with this bleak future , the human race decides to push jupiter into the path of the black hole by detonating the gas giant and hopefully change the black hole\u2019s course .\nakihiko hirata ' s role as inoue ryutarou in this film was the actor ' s final role before he died later that same year . hirata was planned to appear in the return of godzilla as doctor hayashida , but was replaced by yosuke natsuki after his death .\nhowever , maybe this was for the best . at the end of part 1 of this essay , it was suggested that this type of film had reached an impasse ; at best regurgitating storylines from previous entries and , at worst , using stock footage to cheaply bulk up the running time by simply showing the same old effects sequences . for tokusatsu to survive , it was going to need to think outside the box , or rather , outside the japanese film industry , which had been stubbornly self - sufficient up until that point .\nso if toho ' s plan to capitalise on star wars was to rip off its own back catalogue , toei deemed it a far more logical strategy to rip off star wars itself . their film , message from space ( uchu kara no messeji , 1978 ) , not only borrows similar plot elements , settings and aesthetic choices ( including the typeface design of the title ) , but also mimics the music cues from john williams ' s iconic score for lucas ' s film . it is , in every way , an unabashed copy .\n, 1984 ) is an awkward blend of derivative if state - of - the - art visual effects and misguided efforts by the once dominant japanese film studio toho to fashion a hollywood - style blockbuster with broad international appeal . after the death of legendary effects pioneer eiji tsuburaya in 1970 and the near - collapse of the japanese film industry soon thereafter , toho produced a handful of mostly threadbare godzilla movies for children ' s matinees before concentrating its efforts on high - concept , bigger - budgeted movies that it hoped would appeal to both a wide domestic market and international audiences .\nfor a single disc release , sayonara jupiter is packed with extra content . the star attraction here is a half hour\nmaking of special\n, covering mostly the special effects that went into the production . unfortunately , the video quality is a little iffy , as seen here , but the reason for this is because pioneer ( the company in japan which put out the r2 dvd , and the same dvd discotek is using for their release ) , decided to transfer the original vhs tape of this\nmaking of\nspecial directly to dvd . as a matter of fact , the very beginning of the special starts off by saying toho video . so , what we are watching essentially is a copy of the original vhs cassette , which is kind of nostalgic in a way , but also makes one wish that the original source could have been found . the feature is still very informative and in depth on how a lot of the sequences were created , making for an excellent inclusion regardless .\nfirst unit sequences are equally derivative or smack of box office concessions . the idea of a doomsday cult determined to destroy the solar system in order to save it is impressively prophetic . its pop star - turned - guru , peter ( paul taiga ) , eerily resembles shoko asahara , the leader of the aum cult that created a nationwide panic after releasing sarin gas into tokyo ' s subway system in 1995 , and like asahara , peter deceptively denies playing any role in his followers ' efforts to sabotage the jupiter project . unfortunately , the film ' s producers saw in these scenes the chance to insert drippy commercial pop songs , to say nothing of a ludicrous sequence that , of all things , rips off\nis an embarrassingly indulgent and self - serving essay by yuko weisser about her pals putting on an osaka stage production based on the film . as with the unfortunate books she co - authored with husband thomas weisser , the essay is rife with clumsy grammatical and factual errors . ( she claims , for instance , that\ntokusatsu cinema was in its death - throes throughout the 1970s . pioneering special effects director eiji tsuburaya had passed away in 1970 , and ishiro honda retired from feature film directing in 1975 [ 8 ] . thus it ' s easy to see why jun fukuda ' s interplanetary adventure the war in space ( wakusei daisenso : za uo in supesu , 1977 ) has been viewed as ' toho ' s last\nhurrah\nfor their special effects department ' [ 9 ] . sadly it does not represent the best of send - offs , as the film was rushed into production in the wake of a certain cinematic phenomenon happening in america : george lucas ' s star wars ( 1977 ) .\nbye - bye jupiter is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1 . 85 : 1 , and is anamorphic for widescreen tvs . sadly , the video track has been heavily window boxed ( a black border around the image ) . this will allow the dvd to play without a hitch on older sets , which sometimes crop the edges , but also causes for the video , from the perspective of newer sets , to be needlessly compressed .\nin the 22nd century , scientists from an energy - depleted earth research new fuel sources in the far corners of the solar system , where they discover an ancient alien race from jupiter as well as the emergence of an apocalyptically dangerous black hole . koji hashimoto ' s 1983 sci - fi adventure was conceived as a japanese competitor to the upcoming sequel to stanley kubrick ' s classic 2001 , titled 2010 , and often mirrors the sequel ' s plot .\n, a 30 - minute , full - frame behind - the - scenes documentary apparently culled from a vhs source , as it retains toho video ' s logo from the mid - 1980s . the show focuses almost entirely on the film ' s technical aspects , but offers little in the way of interviews and mainly shows first unit and effects sequences being filmed .\nnow , just read that last paragraph back to yourself . because when i read that i thought \u201chot damn ! this is the movie for me ! \u201d but nothing could prepare me for this nor will it prepare you for it either . the film swings on angles from melodrama to crazy logic street in the blink of an eye . first of all , who the hell would bother blowing up jupiter ? the logic presented is that we need the extra solar energy . but as a reservoir of raw materials to build and power humanity\u2019s journey to the outer solar system , jupiter makes more sense as a gas giant . europa and io , with their supplies of water and molten rock and ore , would be destroyed in the event so there\u2019s more material gone . next , there\u2019s the problem of the lifeforms in the atmosphere of jupiter . would they really kill all that life for more energy ? in any event , it doesn\u2019t matter because once the world is threatened with black hole suckage ( is that even a word ? ) , the earth federation gleefully throws the jovians under a bus . finally , the whole idea of a black hole travelling through the solar system and not hitting anything important until it smacks into the sun is such an insane idea , it beggars belief . did nobody read a book on quantum physics or mechanics back in the 70\u2019s or 80\u2019s ? i understand not a lot was known about black holes back then but we knew enough that nothing escaped its grip . the mere distance of earth to a local black hole would be enough to draw us into its grip . look at it another way : if tomorrow the sun became a black hole , how long would it take before it sucked us in ? yeah , there\u2019s your answer .\nthe audio can be accompanied with , removable , english subtitles . the subtitles only appear for the non - english speaking parts in the film , though . for those interested in the pricey region 2 set , it ' s worth mentioning that this release lacks the original 2 . 0 audio track and the 5 . 1 dts track of the movie that are located there .\nat the start of the 1980s , producing large - scale films was still increasingly troublesome . even a filmmaker as senior and internationally recognised as akira kurosawa felt the pinch , requiring the help of george lucas and francis ford coppola to secure additional funding from 20th century fox to finish his period epic kagemusha ( 1980 ) when toho was unable to foot the bill on its own . kurosawa also resorted to shooting adverts for suntory whiskey on the set for extra finance / publicity as channels within the japanese film industry continued to dry up . kagemusha went on to win the palme d ' or at the 1980 cannes film festival ( a victory shared with bob fosse ' s all that jazz ( 1979 ) ) and was a domestic hit . however , this success hardly reversed the downturn of the industry .\n) , in his last film - he died of cancer soon after this was released - japanese actor masumi okada has a small , english - speaking role while longtime toho star hisaya morishige turns up as the president of the earth federation , adorned in unconvincing white wig and flowing beard . besides morishige and miura , more famous at the time as the husband of momoe yamaguchi , there are no stars .\ni mean , where to begin ? after acolytes of the jupiter church are arrested for a crazed protest at minerva base ( they smash a single computer over and over ) , honda recognizes one of them as the love of his life , maria ( diane dangely ) \u2013 who\u2019s french , to keep with the multinational theme \u2013 and immediately grabs her by the hand and runs with her in slow - motion through the halls of the ship . when they reach his private cabin , they make zero - gravity love , moonraker - style . in an abstract sequence , they float naked through the cosmos , holding hands like superman and lois lane , while delivering background exposition that amounts to : they haven\u2019t seen each other for years ; he likes outer space ; she doesn\u2019t really care for it . within the blink of an eye , maria is back on earth along with the rest of her protest group , whose daily activities apparently consist of hanging out on a sunny beach , tanning , windsurfing , and smiling with glazed eyes at their leader and spiritual guide , the aforementioned peter , who has a pet dolphin named jupiter , and sings pop music about how wonderful the earth is . the beach scenes suggest a j - pop video directed by roger corman . an underwater camera captures a woman swimming topless , her breasts gliding slowly toward the camera , as though this is going to be that kind of movie . late in the film , a killer shark attacks poor jupiter , gorily mauling him to death . honda \u2013 on a rare visit to his home planet \u2013 attempts to recreate the climax of jaws by throwing explosives into the water and firing at them with a pistol . when the shark cannily dodges the explosions , honda plunges the boat\u2019s propeller into its face and grinds it into pieces . returning to the beached and blood - drenched dolphin , honda looks at the bikini - clad girls and beach bums and asks optimistically , \u201cis there a vet around ? \u201d\nlikewise , the green slime wasn ' t particularly well received when it finally reached u . s . theatres in the summer of 1969 , especially in the aftermath of stanley kubrick ' s 2001 : a space odyssey ( 1968 ) , which had been on release for a solid year before fukasaku ' s film reared its bargain - basement head . the film was also dubbed into japanese ( an interesting role reversal ) and released in japan by the end of 1968 . the japanese version is almost 20 minutes shorter than the u . s . cut , and is , unsurprisingly , a far more brisk affair . another major difference between the two versions is the theme music . the japanese cut utilises a big , brassy fanfare by toei composer toshiaki tsushima over its opening credits sequence , a portentous march that ' s typically heard in tokusatsu movies . the u . s . version features a misplaced novelty psychedelic - rock number composed by charles fox , and sung by richard delvy , which certainly plays up the camper aspects of the production , and perhaps didn ' t do the film any favours after space odyssey showcased the technical and artistic integrity the sub - genre was capable of . bizarrely , the song was released as a promotional single .\nit is the year 2125 . the earth\u2019s population is 18 billion , and colonies throughout the solar system hold an additional five billion ( the opening titles inform us ) . new sources of energy and sustenance are urgently pursued to sustain those vast numbers . on mars , the polar ice cap is detonated to melt free a new source of water ; but it also reveals previously hidden markings on the planet\u2019s surface , pictographs which suggest an ancient alien intelligence , a la chariots of the gods . a similar discovery is about to be made on jupiter . an operation known as the j . s . ( \u201cjupiter solarization\u201d ) project hopes to use a chain reaction of nuclear fusion to transform the planet into a sun , thus providing a source of energy for the outer colonies . but the planet hides a secret : something strange and mammoth hides deep within the gas giant , which transmits a mysterious signal when two officers , \u201cchief investigator\u201d eiji honda ( tomokazu miura ) and \u201cintergalactic linguist\u201d millicent willem ( rachel huggett ) , fly their shuttle dangerously close to the alien object . meanwhile , a black hole begins to materialize near the planet , swallowing one of their vessels and threatening to consume earth within two years . a plan is hatched to \u201cdivert the path\u201d of the black hole by slightly modifying the j . s . project \u2013 the planet will be exploded instead . when word of the new plan reaches the protest group called the jupiter church \u2013 led by a grinning , guitar - toting , dolphin - owning hippie named peter ( paul tagawa ) \u2013 they attempt sabotage with explosives and laser guns .\nset in the year 2125 , when space travel and colonization within the solar system is commonplace , dr . eiji honda ( tomokazu miura ) - the character apparently so named in honor both tsuburaya and director ishiro honda - is a scientist working on a project to transform jupiter into a\nsecond sun ,\nand thus provide energy for colonies established on the outer planets . plans for this are opposed by a radical religious cult ( founded by a bearded former pop star ) , who repeatedly attempt to sabotage honda ' s efforts aboard"]}

known , perhaps , through the softened version of the type in the film gypsy . simpson also moves beyond the usual young - person - misunderstood story by not allowing us to forget that distant wars as well as exasperating relatives affect lives , and by returning us frequently to the people ( centrally , the women ) , and the common culture , left behind : sections of the novel are narrated by ann , her grandmother lillian , and her aunt carol , with adele herself being held in reserve , to be given molly bloom\u2019s privilege of speaking last .\nas i\u2019ve written , the problem for hollywood isn\u2019t that audiences are ignoring sequels , adaptations , and reboots . the problem is that audiences are ignoring everything else . the most important rule of the film industry is pretty simple : film is poker , and each film\u2019s box - office potential is overwhelmingly determined by the cards ( film rights ) the studio already holds . if it controls one of a handful of dependable franchises\u2014like the avengers , star wars , batman , x - men , or despicable me \u2014the studio is starting with a high pocket pair . if it holds the rights to reboot a dormant but formerly popular property\u2014like wonder woman , baywatch , or king arthur \u2014it starts with an ace - two : high risk , high reward . but if it\u2019s starting from scratch , that\u2019s like a seven - two : without an excellent strategy or terrific luck , the overwhelming likelihood is no hit .\nbut more impressive \u2014 perhaps more daring , considering americans\u2019 limited tolerance for sincerity \u2014 was the show\u2019s willingness to plumb the emotional depths of its characters with the white - hot intensity of a 1950s melodrama or a 1970s italian horror film , without distancing devices , and often without facetiousness or irony .\nthis is a weird criticism , because there isn\u2019t much evidence that rotten tomatoes has had much of an effect on the movie business . some 2017 blockbusters seem to have been sensitive to negative rotten tomatoes scores , like the recent bust of king arthur , and some smaller films have been buoyed by strong numbers , like baby driver ; meanwhile , the emoji movie had a strong opening despite awful reviews , and detroit struggled despite great reviews . the idea here\u2014that film criticism moves audiences at the margin but isn\u2019t determinative\u2014has always been true .\nstrangers always love my mother ,\nann august tells us at the start of anywhere but here .\nand even if you hate her , can ' t stand her , even if she ' s ruining your life , there ' s something about her , some romance , some power . she ' s absolutely herself . no matter how hard you try , you ' ll never get to her . and when she dies , the world will be flat , too simple , reasonable , fair .\nindeed , over the course of the dozen or so years chronicled in mona simpson ' s first novel , ann and everyone else related to t\nall this can easily be applied to the film , where transitions that in literature took centuries have come about in a decade . in cinematic practice , particularly in russia , this change - over has partially become established reality . some of the players whom we meet in russian films are not actors in our sense but people who portray themselves and primarily in their own work process . in western europe the capitalistic exploitation of the film denies consideration to modern man\u2019s legitimate claim to being reproduced . under these circumstances the film industry is trying hard to spur the interest of the masses through illusion -

state spend of up to 30 percent for films and some episodic tv ) was given a 10 - year renewal in 2017 , providing stability for another decade .\ni actually didn ' t like this movie at all , but i got the cd mostly for sarah mclachlan and bif naked ' s contributions to the selection .\nif you ' re in the early stages of your project , we ' d strongly recommend that you get in touch with the film liaison officer at shetland islands council ; contact details are at the bottom of this page . the council ' s staff can give you a fast , free , confidential and informative service to help you realise your project , whether it ' s a feature film or a stills shoot . they work closely with scotland ' s regional film offices in scotland and have lots of experience of helping to bring projects to the screen .\nthis film deals with a theme with which almost all mothers of teenage daughters are familiar . this is a coming of age story which sees natalie thompson play the teenage daughter . . .\n24 . two of the film\u2019s unpaid interns went further than lane : they sued the film for being unpaid for their unpaid internships . according to the plaintiffs , their work on the film violated the legal guidelines for work that\u2019s permissible from free labor , and according to the huffington post , the judge on the case \u201callowed them to file a motion to amend their suit to expand the plaintiff class to include everyone who has worked as an unpaid intern at fox entertainment group for the past several years . \u201d as of october , the case was still pending .\nto quote something park chan - wook , a pretty lynchian director himself , once told me in an interview , the most important relationship in a movie by a true artist is not between any two characters , but between the film and its viewer . with lynch , the relationship is complicated , to put it mildly , and there are times when his work is frustrating for what feels like no clear reason . in his expressionist or surrealist works \u2014 a description that covers pretty much everything but the elephant man and the straight story \u2014 you never know why he\u2019s doing things , where it will lead , if in fact it will lead anywhere , and if he\u2019s just messing around . he\u2019s so opaque when he wants to be that you can\u2019t be sure if he\u2019s driving aimlessly or if he knows his destination and exactly how he\u2019ll get there .\nthere are a few decent song tracks ,\nanywhere but here\nby k . d . lang -

and it also happens to be co - written by danny elfman and contains some of the same etheral and folksy qualities of his score which the lead singer of poe performs the vocals for . score die - hards may not like the songs , but they ' re somewhat bearable even to a hardened listener like myself . perhaps a sprinkling more of danny elfman ' s music might have made things a bit more interesting , but as it is the songs and score complement each other and sound remarkably coherent .\nl . a . \u2019s immeasurably rich film history also serves as a guarantor that among each new generation of moviemakers there will be some , like paul thomas anderson , michael mann , and kathryn bigelow , who want to tell specifically l . a stories , and are willing to jump through whatever hoops exist to film their stories in hollywood . a current example may be karyn kusama , whose most recent film , 2015\u2019s the invitation , spun a tale of extreme insularity and decadence in the hollywood hills . her forthcoming film , which began shooting in l . a . in the fall , is a nicole kidman - starring detective thriller , destroyer . the siren call of la la land to moviemakers is in no danger of fading out any time soon .\n( 5 ) at this point , every film with less than 1 percent of the total vote is disqualified , and those ballots are redistributed to their next ranked pick \u2014 as long as the movie is still in contention and not already nominated . if your no . 2 film was already eliminated or nominated , we\u2019d proceed to your no . 3 choice , and so forth .\n19 . a physically demanding shoot , natalie portman was injured numerous times during filming , including a getting hefty concussion . portman also spent six weeks in recovery after twisting a rib . because the budget for black swan was very modest and they only raised half of what they needed for the film , the film couldn\u2019t afford both a trailer and a medic for portman . she was told she would have to choose between them . she picked the medic and the trailer was cut . ( also , the scene of portman receiving physical therapy in the film is real . )\nrules weren\u2019t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples \u2014 introduced on the very good tv podcast \u2014 are clear exceptions .\nstill in release and possibly headed to $ 2 million , \u201cmenashe\u201d is set in brooklyn with yiddish dialogue \u2014 not totally foreign , just increasingly antiquated and in decline . centering on a recent widower and orthodox jew who\u2019s forbidden under his sect to raise his son until he remarries , the film is contemporary and american but has a feel of a foreign society ."]}

mediated protective responses to homeostatic stressors occurring during sleep in a critical developmental period . here we review the evidence for the brainstem hypothesis in sids with a focus upon abnormalities related to the neurotransmitter serotonin in the medulla oblongata , as these are the most robust pathologic findings to date . in this context , we synthesize the human autopsy data with genetic , whole - animal , and cellular data concerning the function and development of the medullary serotonergic system . these emerging data suggest an important underlying mechanism in sids that may help lead to identification of infants at risk and specific interventions to prevent death .\nkopp n , chigr f , denoroy l , gilly r , jordan d . absence of adrenergic neurons in nucleus tractus solitarius in sudden infant death syndrome .\nquattrochi jj , mcbride pt , yates aj . brainstem immaturity in sudden infant death syndrome : a quantitative rapid golgi study of dendritic spines in 95 infants .\nmason p . contributions of the medullary raph\u00e9 and ventromedial reticular region to pain modulation and other homeostatic functions .\nhauck fr , herman sm , donovan m , iyasu s , merrick moore c , et al . sleep environment and the risk of sudden infant death syndrome in an urban population : the chicago infant mortality study .\niyasu s , randall ll , welty tk , hsia j , kinney hc , et al . risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome among northern plains indians .\npaterson ds , trachtenberg fl , thompson eg , belliveau ra , beggs ah , et al . multiple sero -

ht system translate into a mechanism for sudden and unexpected death in apparently healthy infants likely relates to the importance of this and related brainstem systems in multiple homeostatic processes that , if dysfunctional , could in sum promote death . these processes involve central chemoreception , modulation of inhibitory reflexes ( e . g . , laryngeal chemoreflex [ lcr ] ) , sleep , arousal , temperature regulation , and autoresuscitation . sids research depends upon the use of animal models of homeostatic dysfunction because there are no available biomarkers for identification and study of living infants at risk . also , given that there are no known spontaneous models of sids in animals , we have focused upon the analysis of homeostatic function in young rats , mice , and piglets , in which abnormalities of the human medullary 5 -

filled perspective of a child as his way into the story . while e . t . the extra - terrestrial \u2019s elliott is probably the de facto symbolic avatar of spielberg\u2019s own childhood , empire of the sun \u2019s jamie shows another side of the director as a young boy\u2014the adventurous one fascinated by his father\u2019s stories of air combat from world war 2 . a preoccupation with world war 2 imagery and aviation is a staple of spielberg\u2019s style , but it all blends together so naturally in empire of the sun that it becomes his most potent , concise statement on the idea . his signature awe / wonder shots don\u2019t come from a manufactured obligation to story , but rather from a genuine amazement at the modern miracle of flight that translates organically into the story . empire of the sun also contains the first instances of several images that spielberg would explore later on his career to effects both potent ( concentration camps and schindler\u2019s list ( 1993 ) and insipid ( nuclear bombs and indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull ( 2008 ) . spielberg\u2019s continuing on -

respected playwright tom stoppard had written the script , and when spielberg came aboard , the project was infused with a great deal of prestige . two years later , empire of the sun was released , but despite spielberg\u2019s passion and optimistic expectations , the film was met by an indifferent audience response , disappointing box office returns , and confused critics who found the story muddled and unsure of its message . appreciation for the film has only grown over time , and the general consensus today is that empire of the sun is an underappreciated , overlooked masterwork within spielberg\u2019s oeuvre .\nthe film received six oscar nominations , but lost all of them to the last emperor ( 1987 ) .\nwith the headline : ' the last emperor ' wins 9 oscars and is named best film of 1987 .\nhere in the uk film reviewer wing commander pat gibbs , writing in the telegraph on 3rd june 1983 \u2014 the day after the films uk release \u2014 was less complimentary about the film .\na fine performance from bale , but the film is definitely an acquired taste .\nfather and son formation . ray tail chases mark home from the film set .\ninterestingly , ben stiller had a small part in the film as the character dainty . in his early twenties , it was stiller ' s first film role .\nwith their outlandish costumes , love of fantastical concepts and penchant for calling fans empyreans , australian electro -

minded or na\u00efve narrative . twelve years later , a writer named ernest rister came up with an interpretation of the film that reconciled many of the problems critics faulted the film with in an insightful essay . his piece claimed that empire of the sun was spielberg\u2019s overlooked masterpiece , and argued that critics simply missed the point of the film . the general gist of his essay was that spielberg , for the first time in his career , chose to use a subjective point of view rather than an objective one . we\u2019re seeing reality through jamie\u2019s eyes as an unreliable narrator that looks back on his time in the internment camp with rose - tinted glasses , his innocence blinding him to the suffering going on around him . rister obviously can explain it better than i can , so i\u2019ll simply direct you here to his thoughtful article . if this was indeed what spielberg was trying to capture in empire of the sun , it\u2019s an uncharacteristically subtle , mature move on his part .\ni liked the film . i think it is a very impressive piece of work . i see it once every couple of years . \u2026 it seems to have got richer and more interesting as the years pass . i see it not as the film of my book but a film in its own right .\n\u201cwe\u2019re a couple months into it , so we\u2019ve got a good bit of content ,\nsteele , empire of the sun vocalist , guitarist and all -

by - side with episodes of rebels , it\u2019s impossible to avoid the comparisons . since the film is so good on its own , it\u2019s one i\u2019d recommend watching regardless . add the star wars ties and it\u2019s a must see film for fans of the saga . it\u2019s been rated pg in the united states by the mpaa , though the film can get a little intense and emotional . it is set during a war , after all .\nsteven spielberg has always been a large influence on star wars and his 1987 film , empire of the sun , is no different . based on an autobiographical novel by j . g . ballard , empire of the sun is set in shanghai at the onset of world war ii . it tells the story of jim , a young english boy played by christian bale . he\u2019s separated from his parents as the war begins and it shows his struggles to survive the war on his own . he\u2019s thrown in with lowlifes like basie and frank , played by john malkovich and joe pantoliano , and then placed into an internment camp and left to fend for himself .\nspielberg is a virtuoso performer , and virtuosity can ' t be dismissed . but what\nempire of the sun\nproves is that it can have its limitations . it would be too glib to suggest that spielberg is a victim of his own gifts . but too much of the film has been conceived as a showcase for his brilliance . it ' s overburdened with epiphanies .\nthis entry was posted in asia travel , movie locations and tagged christian bale , empire of the sun filming locations , films made in china , movies set in shanghai , shanghai , shanghai filming locations , shooting locations shanghai , steven speilberg . bookmark the permalink .\nspielberg was an important filmmaker to me growing up , but i would have to say empire of the sun always left a deeper impression on me than even e . t . and raiders of the lost arc . i haven ' t watched the film in 15 years or so , but reading this wonderful essay brought back lots of memories and makes me want to watch this film again . just wanted to say i enjoyed reading . i ' ll have to check out the rest of your entries !\nanother spielberg trademark is using a mess to convey hysteria . and the obvious spielberg touch , having characters stare in wonder at a bright light ( as they did in close encounters of the third kind , e . t . and poltergeist ) , also is transformed in empire of the sun .\nperhaps the most insightful comments come via stephen hunter writing in the baltimore sun as he identifies the backbone of what makes star wars work as a modern mythical tale .\nleaving gaps while immersing the audience in the color of bomb blasts and the rising sun , steven spielberg counters his early movies\u2019 benevolent intimacies with a hollow if stunning epic about the wreckage of a boy\u2019s sense of life .\ntwo years later . the film was acclaimed for its taut plotting and sharply drawn portrayals .\nno american film since zodiac has exhibited such a love for the way information travels than the post .\nanswer : empire of the sun makes significant use of a welsh lullaby called suo g\u00e2n . the song is referenced throughout the film , and our hero jim ( played by christian bale ) can be seen singing it in two major scenes . however , that isn\u2019t actually bale himself singing . instead , the track was laid down by james rainbird , a young singer from rustington in england .\nkung fu hustle is one of the most complex films ever made , let alone kung fu films . i\u2019m still astonished how many people missed the boat entirely with this film . sure chow used a lot of over the top scenes and silliness to get the point across , but the deeper message of the film accomplished something that no other kung fu film ever has . in fact , you\u2019d be hard pressed to a film in any genre that so accurately depicts the nature of the universe .\nwhen i first saw the epic film ' empire of the sun ' by the inspirational director steven spielberg i became emotionally involved in the story and could not help but shed a tear for the truly remarkable piece of cinema . christian bale performs , without question , better than any other actor has in a hollywood film that is twice his age . as he closes his eyes at the end of the film in one of the most moving scenes i can remember , you see what a simply fantastic job spielberg has done to bring j . g ballard ' s classic book to the screen . not ever has a film been more inspirational to me whilst following my dream to become a director as this . at the end of it you feel you want to move people when making a film as much as you were moved by this one . wonderfully acted , beautifully shot -

evidently one of steven spielberg\u2019s very best films , outpaced only by the sensational adrenaline rush of jaws , and standing slightly ahead of the truffautian melancholy bliss of e . t . especially when compared to the more hesitant spielberg movies that surround it in the difficult third album period , empire of the sun sings with confidence , and an abiding faith in a youthful perspective that has fueled so many of spielberg\u2019s best films .\nchristopher orr is a senior editor and the principal film critic at the atlantic . he has written on movies for the new republic , la weekly , salon , and the new york sun , and has worked as an editor for numerous publications .\npublished in 1984 , empire of the sun was highly acclaimed by critics and became a bestseller in england . in their review of the novel appearing in newsweek , david lehman and donna foote place the book\non anyone ' s short list of outstanding novels inspired by the second world war\u2026 .

rate science fiction writer , but also as an accomplished novelist and short story writer of works that explore intricate psychological landscapes .\narnold also broaches the matter of \u2018happy endings\u2019 , a worthwhile discussion given that originally a number of the lead characters and beloved vehicles were to meet their fates during the climax of the film .\nnorman rockwell has a significant influence on spielberg\u2019s visual aesthetic , arguably more so in empire of the sun than his other films . the early sequences in shanghai before the invasion are almost blatantly rockwell - ian , with many frames ripped straight from the artist\u2019s paintings . this serves to amplify jamie\u2019s removal from that way of life later on in the film , when he posts rockwell paintings next to his bunk\u2014yet another haunting reminder of innocence lost .\ni watched this film again with my 12 year old daughter last weekend and spent a fair amount of time researching the history of the shanghai conflict .\n( as avner\u2019s handler ) are just a few members of the international cast . the film\u2019s strength is also its weakness : its\ni have watched this film 5 times now and love it . one of the best films ever made . . .\nthe film hopes to engross by having the adverse situation facing jim and his innocent way of surviving . although it is involving , the story wears too thin for a two -

cut . the film even features an ambiguous conclusion that doesn\u2019t feel like an incongruous upbeat ending that jars with the rest of the film ( as some of the closing scenes to spielberg\u2019s recent films\u2014as accomplished as the films are\u2014have done ) .\nregardless of what spielberg was trying to do , the film flew directly over the critics\u2019 and the audience\u2019s heads . empire of the sun wasn\u2019t a flop , but it was most definitely a disappointment for a filmmaker whose body of work boasted several of the highest - grossing films of all time . more importantly , it was a blow to spielberg\u2019s artistic sensibilities , as his attempts at branching out and becoming a serious filmmaker were met with scorn and indifference . this began a relatively dark period for him , in which he retreated into the safety of his usual blockbuster work , but his flirtations with greatness now only made him bored and uninspired . much like empire of the sun \u2019s young protagonist , he was feeling grounded\u2014but it was only a matter of time until he took flight again , and when he did , he would soar .\naged just 13 , christian bale was cast in the lead role in steven spielberg\u2019s empire of the sun . his performance as jim graham , a young english boy readjusting to life in a japanese pow camp , was so well received that the national board of review of motion pictures created a special \u2018juvenile actor\u2019 category in order to recognise his achievement .\ngreat list , its always fun to take a look at other film -

like faith in both the wonderfully loaded ironies of genre to unlock history , and the power of imagery to express ambiguity , to bring the audience inside the sensations of the framed space , and the characters\u2019 unstated desires .\nwhat transpires in between , the sweeping story of jim ' s wartime exploits after he is separated from his family , is set forth so spectacularly in steven spielberg ' s ' ' empire of the sun ' ' that the film seems to speak a language all its own . in fact it does , for it ' s clear mr . spielberg works in a purely cinematic idiom that is quite singular . art and artifice play equal parts in the telling of this tale . and the latter , even though intrusive at times , is part and parcel of the film ' s overriding style .\n\u201cof the film , i can say many things . but the long and short of it is that i liked it \u2014 quite a bit . i\u2019d rank it right after empire in a list of fave star wars flicks . it starts great , ends great , and has great stuff sprinkled in between .\nempire of the sun being a novel that is a mixture of memories , facts , and imagination , represents ballard\u2019s attempt to come to terms with his wartime experience . the film adaptation is a reimagining of the same material by someone else , and it can\u2019t possibly fulfill the same purpose for ballard as the book does . but for everyone else , spielberg\u2019s film remains a powerful cinematic adaptation of ballard\u2019s work , unusually clever and subtle for a hollywood production . it benefits greatly from repeated viewings , as previously unnoticed details suddenly throw new light on spielberg\u2019s treatment . although some may feel it\u2019s a little too saccharine or somewhat pasteurized for mass consumption , the film is never cheap and the emotions are all genuine , as great a film as could have been made in mainstream american cinema in 1987 .\nfor the first time in a spielberg film there are no opening credits . only the main title - - a beautiful piece of animation wherein the words\ni have watched this film 5 times now and love it . one of the best films ever made superb acting by all the cast .\nthe main focus of empire of the sun is jim ' s maturation from child to man during world war ii . after the war begins and he is separated from his parents , he spends the remainder of the book trying to reunite with them . he learns to survive the brutal conditions he faces in detention and prison camps . as a result of these experiences , he learns important lessons about himself and human nature .\nborn in 1975 , rainbird was 12 when he got the job as bale\u2019s empire of the sun singing voice . by that point , he had already worked as understudy to aled jones on productions of the much - loved raymond briggs story the snowman . appearances on bbc radio 2 and bbc radio 3 followed , before he got the call - up from spielberg .\nby juan carlos coto , special to the news / sun - sentinel juan carlos coto is a free - lance writer based in coral gables .\nwe see again that this film is fast paced , emotional and the inclusion of supernatural characters makes it more appealing to the audience . item 2 : the last film is the others . short video : trailer - 2 minutes 21 seconds run audio : ' sometimes the world of the dead gets mixed up\nbut box office success , as welcome and indeed required as it was , wasn\u2019t the only marker by which the film was judged . star wars had won over the public , and many of the critics , as the harder , more serious overtones of empire equally divided opinions across the globe . but how would jedi , a film more visibly pitched at a younger , toy hungry audience but loaded with serious undertones , fare with the critics ?\nthe rebel alliance must destroy a new death star built by a resurgent empire , while luke skywalker faces the evil lord darth vader . but first he must rescue his friend han solo from the clutches of vile gangster jabba the hutt . this film marks a return to the heroics of \u201cstar wars\u201d . the sombre , complex tone of \u201cthe empire strikes back\u201d is discarded in favour of a simpler , episodic approach . the action is aided by the stunning effects work of lucas\u2019 ilm company . set - pieces abound , the assault on jabba\u2019s sail barge and the final attack on the death star are particularly noteworthy .\nas steele noted , the band recently had the opportunity to spend some time with jim carrey and the rest of the cast ( funny enough , being a star himself , steele said he found himself short of words in carrey ' s presence ) . it wasn ' t the a - list hollywood talent , however , that spurred empire of the sun to accept the farrelly brothers ' offer to make a move into the movie business . rather , as steele said , it was that\nfilm is the most powerful medium .\nwow ! great post about one of my favorite spielberg films , and great , great insights and analysis here in the comments section , too . cinebeats , your description of the film is lovely , and sums up so many of my feelings . when i wrote about damian ' s fabulous project at my blog , i said sugarland express was s ' s most underrated film , posted it , then thought ,\nno , it ' s really empire of the sun .\njeffrey , your observation about the e . t . scene and the one in empire is really cool - - i love that whole\ngoodbye to childhood\nthing . and damian , i once again learn more great production info from your post - - i had completely forgotten ben stiller was in this film . i guess i sound like jim running across the roof , shouting at the planes - -\nwindmills of my mind ! cadillac of the film blogs !\n- - but i am really thrilled to see such positive response to a film that deserves so much more attention than it ' s received .\nthe influence might go both ways between empire of the sun and star wars , though . in what could have been a nod back to return of the jedi , john malkovich\u2019s character , basie , lives in a room in the internment camp with a massive picture window that is shaped just like the window behind palpatine\u2019s throne on the second death star . from here , basie holds court , practically ruling the underground of the camp .\nin the light of the early morning sun , jim witnesses the initiation and maiden voyage of three kamikaze pilots . as they sing their japanese anthem jim starts to sing the same song he did in the beginning of the film . the pilots climb into their cockpits and take off . as the song finishes the beauty and wonder of the moment is violently interrupted by one of the planes exploding in mid - air . american bombers are attacking the air base next to the camp . jim runs to the roof of one of the buildings and watches as planes strafe the runways and hangars explode in great balls of flame .\ndvd , casualties of war faith of my fathers the fog of war . . .\npsycho essay - shower scene analysis . shot in stark black and white , the film psycho . . .\nhowever , what makes empire of the sun an accomplished work is spielberg ` s translation of images into powerful cinematic statements . many of these images are ones the filmgoer has seen before . jim lives in the international settlement area of shanghai , a posh suburb almost transplanted from england . countless model planes hang in his room and he stares at them , hoping one day to be a pilot himself .\n\u201cthere are sections of empire of the sun that are so visually expressive they barely require dialogue ( although tom stoppard ' s screenplay , which streamlines j . g . ballard ' s autobiographical novel , is often crisp and clever ) . its first half hour , for example , could exist as a silent film\u2014an extraordinarily sharp evocation of shanghai ' s last prewar days , richly detailed and colored by an exquisite foreboding . \u201d\u2013janet maslin , new york times"]}

dialogues . sai kumar fits the role of the villain perfectly and his execution is remarkable . rajiv kanakala and dasari arun kumar are adequate . ms narayana and allari subhashini provide comic relief . ranganath plays the role of the hero ' s father .\nstory - screenplay - direction : the story of the film is somewhat different from the usual thirsting - for - revenge kind . instead of killing the villain for murdering his father , the hero adopts a different technique and makes him realise the futility of what he has done . director ravi c kumar has religiously followed ram gopal varma in terms of shot division and lighting techniques . ravi should be applauded for trying out something different in an honest way . but he must realise that entertainment should be blended proportionately with the seriousness of the theme otherwise it tends to be too ' heavy ' . there seem to be some confusion in the characterisation of chandra about his motives and working methods . the narration should have been more crisp . he has used the backdrop of a newspaper for screenplay convenience as choosing any other media like tv or internet to do sting operations would not have a dramatic impact to run the single thread of hero - villain conflict throughout the film .\nother departments : photography of the film is good . the technique of colour bleaching has been used all through the entire film . the colour bleaching looks good for serious parts of the film . but this technique for comedy and romantic scenes does not yield the desired results . music of the film is mediocre . editing is adequate . production values are good .\nanalysis : the first half of the film is slow . the latter part of the second half is interesting . jagapati babu looks very good throughout this film . the strength of the film is the story . the drawback of the film is lack of entertainment . the director has used all current news items like stamp scam , bank scam , sting operations etc to narrate the first half of the film . only time will tell how the film fares at the box office .\nhome ] [ editorial ] [ movies ] [ trade ] [ audio ] [ research ] [ celebs ] [

politics , especially politicians , with the help of his newspaper . his focus is on the home minister , bhagwanraju ( saikumar ) , who gets wind of chandrasekhar ' s intentions and eliminates him .\nhis adopted son chandra along with his siblings plans to expose the evil deeds of bhagwanraju . he videographs bhagwanraju ' s plot to kill the chief minister and with this he makes bhagwanraju fulfill the promises made by him to the people during elections . this irks bhagwanraju who plans to eliminate chandra . how chandra exposes the home minister forms the crux of the film .\nthe film focuses on changing the mindset of the home minister through some sentiments . like his daughter who hates her father for his corrupt ways .\njagapathi babu performs very well , and saikumar , for once , gives a restrained performance . the comedy track by m s narayana is good .\nafter jagapathi babu , the film belongs to director ravi kumar who took on an old theme and shied away from the beaten track while presenting it . music by vandemataram srinivas fails to appeal . kamna jethmalani has nothing to do but appear glamorous .\nwhat is different perspective ? we do have a tendency to get carried away by the success of a film and rarely look deep down into it to justify the \u2018praises\u2019 heaped on the film as well as on director . should success blind our \u2018thinking\u2019 and shouldn\u2019t we study its shortcomings as well . agreed audience appreciation is all too important but will it not be a crime to overlook its flaws . this is just an attempt to pause for ` moment\u2019 and analyze the structuring of the ` plot\u2019 and how it would have been a notable effort if director had adhered to few rules of filmmaking grammar .\ninterestingly director ravi . c . kumar made his protagonist to reform the \u2018antagonist\u2019 than eliminating him but the transition of a ruthless politician into a good human is poorly established . since evil minister makes all attempts to kill the protagonist and grab the evidence against him until the last moment but all - of - a - sudden turns into a good - hearted soul . it\u2019s quite unconvincing because ` reformation\u2019 happens gradually and for a callous minister it would take more time to re - order his conditioned mind ( just few words of his kid are not enough ) . protagonist is a reluctant journalist who takes up the cudgels against \u2018system\u2019 but ends up reforming one minister ; probably his job remains unfinished . despite making big claims about exposing the corrupt minister , protagonist is unable to pin him down either in bank scam or in re - allotment of slum lands but had to rely on \u2018one\u2019 evidence against the minister for plotting to kill the cm . unfortunately he doesn\u2019t inform the cm about the evil plans of his sub - ordinates since it\u2019s a must for any scribe to share such an important information to safe - guard the life of head of the state . director\u2019s disjoined screenplay fails to give proportionate footage to protagonist\u2019s love track and exposing archana as baddy\u2019s mole doesn\u2019t surprise many since it looks ` fixed\u2019 . director making an aged man to compare the minister who does few good works to save his job with mahatma gandhi is just outrageous .\nthough director starts off on the right note that a scribe journalist should use his \u2018pen\u2019 to expose evil forces in society but gradually he looses his way . he makes his protagonist to even indulge in \u2018blackmailing\u2019 than making him to write a series of articles pointing the \u2018needle of suspicion\u2019 towards the cruel home minister and gradually strip him of his post . but its other way round - as the protagonist even goes to the extent of holding the \u2018family\u2019 of a thug of the minister to get information against minister . director\u2019s intention to ` reform\u2019 the minister is admirable but making him a \u2018messiah\u2019 ( as gullible people pray for his ailing kid ) will undo his humanistic approach . director\u2019s pre - occupation with one minister makes him overlook the evil ways of other ministers ( who themselves throw allegations against each other ) and it is like virtually giving them a clean chit . in his screenplay director could have properly balanced the professional ( journalist ) and personal life ( his love ) of his protagonist to make it more engrossing . a well - intended \u2018theme\u2019 could have been handled better with some good script work ( hope director would agree with me now )\ninitially jagapati babu is reluctant to stay back in india but all of sudden decides to re - launch his father\u2019s newspaper . his first story should have been against the \u2018minister\u2019 ( to avenge the death of his father who brought him up ) but he exposes a bank chairman . even in re - allotment of slum dwellers land he fails to pin down minister . until he gets a recorded evidence of minister\u2019s plotting against cm but he doesn\u2019t publish it rather uses it to make minister spend his siphoned money to provide infrastructure for poor . without analyzing minister\u2019s evil intentions , jagapati informs the minister that he can make ap \u201cswarnaandhrapradesh\u2019 . an amateurish \u2018assessment\u2019 that could have spelt doom .\nhardhearted minister saikumar whose name sends down shivers in the spine of one and all probably believes in rhetoric than action . with just ` one\u2019 evidence against him with jagapati he becomes his puppet and spends all his money . but fortunately he wins people\u2019s love and the blood - thirsting evil could have won another election and earned his money in various scrupulous ways ( but he looks unnecessarily worried since jagapati would have handed over the evidence to him if not for police commissioner\u2019s unwarranted intrusion ) . he reformed , as director asked him to do so , than on his own barring few moments in the hospital .\nchandra ( jagapati babu ) is the editor of a daily\naddam\n( mirror ) . though he lives a normal life without getting into rifts , circumstances force him to stand by the poor and downtrodden in the society . now , his objective is clear : exposing the misdeeds of the corrupt politicians . he is assisted by his friends played by ( rajiv kanakala , dasari arjun and archana ) who get the scoops . the editor\u2019s focus is on the home minister raju ( saikumar ) , the villain , who had killed his dad . the hero adopts all sorts of methods to check the baddies . how chandra teaches a fitting lesson to the villain and puts a checkmate to corruption forms middle and climax of the story .\nthere is absolutely no originality in story , screenplay and direction . debutante director ravi c kumar tried his level best to imitate the tastes of ram gopal varma in tackling most scenes in the film . though the story is a normal fare , he gave a little twist in the climax , bring a sentimental change on the villain . unlike regular revenge themes ! . the first half tests the audience patience , while the second half provides a name\u2019s sake relief .\nsongs and music departments are not adequately stuffed . comedy is weak . cinematography is good .\nthe movie is opened to a weak talk . however , it can cater to the taste of a segment of the audience who might like the rgc style .\nthanks to all of you who support me on patreon . you da real mvps ! $ 1 per month helps ! ! : ) urltoken ! ! box and whisker plot - in this

it is concerned only with its own well - being . still , it follows the man .\nthe man is scared , and sets himself to building a new fire , aware that he is already going to lose a few toes from frostbite . he gathers twigs and grasses . his fingers numb and nearly lifeless , he unsuccessfully attempts to light a match . he grabs all his matches - - seventy - - and lights them simultaneously , then sets fire to a piece of bark . he starts the fire , but in trying to protect it from pieces of moss , it soon goes out .\nlionsgate ' s catching fire , opening north of $ 300 million at the global box office last weekend , is expected to remain at no . 1 with a domestic five - day gross of $ 80 million or better . for the three - day weekend , the sequel is poised to earn $ 60 million or more , while frozen is anticipating earnings in the $ 50 million range .\nunfortunately , a pile of snow fall on the fire , putting it out . by this time , the man ' s fingers have become frostbitten , and he ' s unable to build himself another fire . the wolf - dog watches dispassionately as the man dies . alone , the dog heads to the next camp to seek warmth and shelter .\nafter walking for a while longer , the man breaks through the ice himself and has to stop and build a fire all over again to dry his boots and warm his feet .\njack london often employed a naturalistic approach in his writing . \u201cto build a fire\u201d falls into this category . naturalism bases its theory on scientific laws . the naturalistic writer . . .\nthe man falls off into a comfortable sleep . the dog does not understand why the man is sitting in the snow like that without making a fire . as the night comes , it comes closer and detects death in the man ' s scent . it runs away in the direction of the camp ,\nwhere were the other food - providers and fire - providers .\nthe man has brought a lunch of bacon and biscuits with him . he builds a small fire and sits down to eat , pleased with the distance he has traveled . after lunch , the man falls through a thin patch of ice . he knows that he ' ll freeze to death if he doesn ' t dry his feet , so he tries to build a fire .\nthe narrator tells us that the man is heading for a mining camp on henderson creek , where a bunch of his buddies are waiting for him with a nice fire and some tasty bacon .\nto build a fire study guide contains a biography of jack london , literature essays , a complete e - text , quiz questions , major themes , characters , and a full summary and analysis .\nas he builds a new fire , he thinks about an old man from sulphur creek who told him that folks should never travel alone in the yukon when it ' s colder than fifty degrees below zero .\n\u2018non - stop tension and utterly compelling are the hallmarks of a tim bowler thriller ; so much so , that you\u2019ll be drawn into the characters and the story from the very start . he is pre - eminent in the field of psychological thrillers in the teenage market \u2013 no one does it better . if frozen fire is too traumatic , then leave it for a while and come back to it when you\u2019re ready . it will have been worth the wait . \u2019 lovereading\nwe go out for . . . . . because . . . . would go out for us\n. that is the premise of this book . this line ( unfortunately , i can ' t remember exactly where ) from\nfrozen in . . .\noverall i enjoyed reading frozen fire . it was a well executed story and met my expectations of tim bowlers as an author . however the only fault i can voice from personal opinion is that apparent lack of answers in the book concerning the boy . i guess it ' s fitting and i shouldn ' t complain about it - after all it does fit the character profile of the boy ; namely a mystery to everyone - but it can be frustrating to be left with burning questions .\nto build a fire\nreveals much about itself and its naturalist origins in its title .\nto build a fire\nsounds almost like an instruction manual , and the story does , indeed , teach the reader how to perform various acts , such as building fires , avoiding dangerous springs , and navigating a creek . as in herman melville ' s moby dick ( not considered a naturalist novel , but it shares many of the same concerns ) , where the reader learns all about whale hunting , the reader leaves the story with a sense of the processes at work in its world . we see other processes in effect , too , such as the layers of snow and ice that have built up in the yukon , or the ice that accumulates on the man ' s beard .\nfrom the moment i began to read frozen fire , i could not make myself put it down ! every chapter ends with you wanting to find out what happens next and the mysteries woven around the characters , especially the boy , lead you to frantically turn the page and read on . as the main character , dusty , delves further into the disappearance of her brother , josh , she cannot help but get caught up in the centre of an angry lynch mob with the desire to get revenge .\nalthough confident because of his swift action of building a fire to dry off , he is surprised at how fast his nose and cheeks are freezing . he can barely control his hands ; his fingers are lifeless and frostbitten . suddenly , his fire exists no more ; he has built it under a large tree that is weighed down with snow , and when he pulls down some twigs to feed the flame , the snow in the tree is dislodged and falls on the man and his fire . he thinks again about the old man at sulphur creek and realizes that a partner at this time would be helpful . he begins to rebuild the fire , aware that he will lose toes , and possibly his feet , to frostbite . because his fingers are nearly useless , he has difficulty collecting twigs . he is so sure that this fire will succeed that he collects large branches for when the fire is strong . his belief that the fire will succeed is the only thing that keeps him alive . he finishes the foundation of his fire and needs the birch bark in his pocket to start it , but cannot clutch the wood . he panics , drops his matches , and is unable to pick them up . he succeeds in picking them up , finally , and by using his teeth , he rips one match out of the pack . by holding it in his teeth and striking it against his legs twenty times , he lights it but drops it again when the smoke gets into his nostrils . he then strikes the entire pack of matches against his leg and tries to light the wood but only burns his flesh . he drops the matches , and the small pieces of rotten wood burn . he knows that this is his last chance for life and that he cannot allow the matches to go out .\nthe man continues on and , in a seemingly safe spot , falls through the snow and wets himself up to his shins . he curses his luck ; starting a fire and drying his foot - gear will delay him at least an hour . his feet and fingers are numb , but he starts the fire . he remembers the old - timer from sulphur creek who had warned him that no man should travel in the klondike alone when the temperature was fifty degrees below zero .\noriginally posted here . \u201ci\u2019m dying , \u201d said the voice . this first sentence of tim bowler\u2019s frozen fire will , right away , suck the reader in . it\u2019s sets the ethereal and creepy atmosphere the book possess from start to end . it was the beginning of the mysterious phone call dusty received at the night of the new year . the caller , a boy , seems to know more than what he confess \u2014 information about his missing brother or to be more accurate , information only his missing brother knows . so dusty , although sc\nby twelve o\u2019clock , he is still far away from his camp and anticipates getting there by six o\u2019clock , in time for dinner . he is pleased with his progress , but , in reality , he is simply reassuring himself that there is no need to worry . he decides to stop and eat lunch , a lunch he had planned to eat with his friends at the camp . his fingers are so numb that he cannot hold his biscuit . he reflects back to the time when he had laughed at an old man who had told him how dangerous cold weather could be . he now realizes that perhaps he had reason to worry and that he had forgotten to build a fire for warmth . he carefully builds a fire , thaws his face , and takes \u201chis comfortable time over a smoke . \u201d then he decides that he should begin walking again . the fire has restored his confidence , but the dog wants to stay by the warmth and safety of the fire .\nexplore arctic environments , polar landscapes , animals , and people in and around the north and south poles . featuring polar bears , icebergs , reindeer , penguins , sea life , and more , frozen worlds allows young readers to travel to earth ' s coldest places . perfect for 3\u20135 year olds . . .\n{ mance rayder } , the king - beyond - the - wall , leader of the free folk and feared opponent of the night ' s watch . sentenced to death by fire by stannis baratheon , but shot with an arrow as mercy by jon snow .\nfrozen fire held just enough mystery that i wanted to read more and just a little scary that i was hesitant to . in a sense , i would call it a psych thriller and you have to be wary of these . because sometimes they aren ' t good . they can be full of pages upon pages of words and still say nothing of value . because psychs can babble if they ' re not good . but i felt like this one , imo , did just enough right to keep me reading so that i could find out if dusty would save the boy on the other end of pho\nexpanding nationwide on wednesday is the 20th century fox drama the book thief , based on the best - selling novel by markus zusak about a young girl living with her foster parents in nazi germany , and starring geoffrey rush , emily watson , sophie nelisse and ben schnetzer . fox launched book thief in select cities earlier this month in a bid to build word of mouth . the film has earned $ 1 . 3 million to date .\nthe dog doesn ' t know what ' s going on at first , but after it catches the smell of death , it howls for a while and then trots off toward the camp , where it knows it can get food and have a nice fire . and bacon .\njack london specialized in stories about the wilderness . his running theme involved the raw majesty and power of the elements . naturalism was london ' s mantra and this story is a perfect example of this . in\nto build a fire\nthe setting is in the . . .\nthe world of ice and fire companion book features a map of westeros and western essos that shows a significant amount of land north of the wall , possibly extending further east and west as well , backing up the suggestion that the lands beyond the wall are vast . [ 3 ]\nthis book was really creepy for the first three - quarters , and i thought the author did a really good job of maintaining suspense and keeping me engaged - - until the last quarter , when the book just * dragged * , became repetitive , the protaganist ' s motivation was confusing , and the central conflict of the novel seemed completely overworked . i ' m still not quite sure what happened in the end . two point five stars for the convoluted ending .\nwhen he finally reaches henderson creek , the man starts walking along the ice . the creek is frozen to the bottom , but there are some underground hot springs that make little pockets of water in the ice , and it ' s very dangerous to get your feet wet when it ' s so cold out . did we mention that it ' s really , really cold ?\nsouthwest of the frostfangs there is a narrow strip of land between the mountains and the sea known as the frozen shore , a harsh area inhabited by fierce and primitive warriors who frequently cross the bay of ice to raid the lands in the north sworn to house stark . this small area is totally enclosed by the frostfangs , which run southeast to northwest , and the ocean .\nbut he thinks the old - timer is a little too\nwomanish\nand gives himself a big pat on the back for being a\nreal\nman . of course when he tries to build his next fire , he can barely grip a twig with his fingers . yeah , super manly .\ntraveling alongside the man is a native husky , which is closer to a wolf than your average dog . the husky isn ' t all that happy about traveling in such chilly weather , but it stays on the man ' s heels , hoping that the man will soon stop to make a nice cozy fire .\nthe ice dragon is a children ' s novel by george r . r . martin , first published in 1980 as a short story for adults in the anthology dragons of light . the story was reworked to make it more suitable for children [ 1 ] and published as a children ' s book in october 2007 , with detailed pencil drawings by yvonne gilbert . it was published again in 2014 , with painted illustrations by luis royo . [ 2 ] the original short story can be found in martin ' s dreamsongs anthology .\nthe first page sucked me right in . dusty , sitting alone in her house , far from any neighbors , receives a phone call from a mysterious boy who has just overdosed on pills and wants to hear a comforting voice as he slips into death . as they talk , the boy lets slip details that convince dusty he knows what happened to her brother , josh , who disappeared two years ago . in a panic , dusty races out into a snow storm to find the boy and a clue to finding josh . bowler creates a taut , atmospheric thriller set in a small town on the english moors . the first chapters reminded me of a horror flick , but the intensity ebbed and flowed slightly as the novel progressed ( allowing me to fall asleep at night , which was a nice perk ) . the plot took a number of unexpected turns that kept it from turning into a wes craven novel . there were even - dare i say - elements of magical realism . but in a good way ! highly recommend it to anyone looking for an atmospheric mystery with plenty of scary chase scenes .\nall this might make the novel sound overly portentous - which it is , a bit . this reader sometimes found himself struggling through deep drifts of prose . the author ' s insistence on describing the continual intensity of dusty ' s feelings can be wearisome ; occasionally one fears the poor girl might emote herself to death .\nshow , don ' t tell\nis not an axiom that seems to cut much ice with bowler . that said , frozen fire is an engrossing , tantalising psychological and supernatural thriller . dusty - unbeautiful , narky , tough , beset on all sides - is a fine heroine , not exactly lovable but deeply sympathetic . the air of menace is bracing , there are some excellently tense set - pieces , and when the mysterious and unearthly\nboy\nactually materialises he turns out to be well worth waiting for , and tragic . a simple - perhaps simplistic - interpretation is that he has been\nsent\nto bring\nclosure\nto dusty ' s grief . indeed , in a quite unexpected denouement , this is what he does . but the story carries other less comfortable and more interesting readings . like all good books , it manages in the end to be both satisfying and richly ambiguous . read it alone , at night . wrap up well , and don ' t forget to strap on your mental snow - shoes .\nloosely based on hans christian andersen ' s classic fairy tale the snow queen , frozen tells the story of a fearless princess ( kristen bell ) who sets off on an epic journey to find her sister , whose icy powers have caused an eternal winter . last weekend , the 3d pic did big business when opening exclusively at disney ' s el capitan theater in hollywood . on friday , it will be playing in 3 , 742 locations .\nthe book has eight short chapters , and is written in a poetic style . while several publishers say the ice dragon is set in the same world as a song of ice and fire , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] the story does not match the known history of asoiaf , and martin has refuted a connection on his not a blog .

century . its major themes ( which will all be explained and explored in greater depth here ) are determinism over free will ; the indifference of the environment ; survival ; absence of moral judgment ; instinct over intellectualism ; a fascination with processes ; the emphasis of narrative over character ; depiction of characters in the lower classes ; and more realistic language befitting such characters and settings .\na man travels in the yukon ( near the border of current day alaska ) on an extremely cold morning with a husky wolf -

still , he occasionally thinks that it is very cold , and automatically and unsuccessfully rubs his cheekbones and nose to warm them . he realizes his cheeks will\nfrost ,\nand wishes he had prepared for this , but decides that frosted cheeks are only painful and not very serious .\nadara was born in a long winter with the worst freezing cold anyone could remember . her mother died giving birth to her . adara loves the winter and feels attracted to the cold , preferring to play with snow and ice and ice lizards . she is apparently emotionless , and her skin is always cold to the touch . she feels that an ice dragon has always been in her life . when she was four , she touched an ice dragon for the first time , and she rode upon its broad , chilled back for the first time in her fifth year . the people of her town fear the ice dragon , said to be an untameable creature of legend . when it flies overhead , it leaves a desolate cold and frozen land . adara is not afraid of the ice dragon , for she is a winter child .\nin a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime , trouble is brewing . the cold is returning , and in the frozen wastes to the north of winterfell , sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom\u2019s protective wall . at the center of the conflict lie the starks of winterfell , a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to . sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty , here is a tale of lords and ladies , soldiers and sorcerers , assassins and bastards , who come together in a time of grim omens . amid plots and counterplots , tragedy and betrayal , victory and terror , the fate of the starks , their allies , and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance , as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts : the game of thrones .\nwhen adara is seven , war comes to her land . fiery dragons from the north come and swoop down upon the peaceful farm that is adara ' s home , their riders attacking her family . she and her ice dragon fly towards them , and the ice dragon fights the other dragons in order to protect adara and her family . the ice dragon defeats the fire dragons and their riders , but afterwards the ice dragon is nowhere to be seen . only a pond that had never been there before , a small quiet pool where the water is very cold . after the disappearance of the ice dragon , the cold leaves adara . she is then finally able to smile , laugh , and weep like other little girls .\njust finished frozen in time . great story , excellent research and writing . mitchell zuckoff tells this story in just the right way . the book is full of detail and goes back and forth between the time of the crashes and rescue efforts , and 70 years later when a team attempted to recover those who couldn ' t be rescued . zuckoff does those time changes without confusing the reader , and the book never lags . zuckoff ' s descriptions of the conditions in greenland and the hardships faced by several crews of flyers on the ice cap made me feel cold . and his details on the later lives of the ones who survived and those involved in the rescue and recovery were superbly written . as a u . s . air force veteran , i have to admit that i teared up more than once while i was reading . the i highly recommend it for anyone interested in world war ii history .\nthe chase leads from switzerland to italy , from the mediterranean sea to the black sea , from the steppes of russia to the frozen tundra of the northern reaches of land near the north pole . both victor and the monster live off of the land , pausing only to replenish themselves when necessary . the monster leaves notes behind to inspire victor on and to keep his wave of hatred going against his foe ,\nmy reign is not yet over \u2014 you live , and my power is complete . follow me ; i seek the everlasting ices of the north , where you will feel the misery of cold and frost , to which i am impassive .\nthe monster feels they\nhave yet to wrestle for our lives , but many hard and miserable hours must you endure until that period shall arrive .\nvictor cannot follow the monster without help of the notes from the monster and the villagers ' sightings .\nfrozen fire held just enough mystery that i wanted to read more and just a little scary that i was hesitant to . in a sense , i would call it a psych thriller and you have to be wary of these . because sometimes they aren ' t good . they can be full of pages upon pages of words and still say nothing of value . because psychs can babble if they ' re not good . but i felt like this one , imo , did just enough right to keep me reading so that i could find out if dusty would save the boy on the other end of phone . if she would find her brother . because it ' s a psych thriller and a mystery rolled into one a lot of scenes happen , like in a movie . she sees a swing , follows a snowy path , has conversations . goes to the lake . follows the boy named josh to the car . tries to solve the mystery , tries to find her missing brother . dusty doesn ' t have wicked action fights or use magic or have a best fried to go out with and gossip about the sexiest guys in town . this book is meant to be about the mind and the deeper parts of thought , which i think people miss the point of . or don ' t end up caring and then don ' t like the book because of . and that ' s a shame because then they think it ' s a bad book which it isn ' t . it isn ' t the best book in my bookcase but it ' s good enough to warrant a reread from me . and i don ' t regret my purchase ."]}

(\nbe all you can be ,\nindeed . )\nel topo is filled with \u201choney in the lion\u201d moments ; in fact , the whole movie is a succession such moments . el topo digging up eggs in the desert . an armless man carrying a legless man . a warrior who fights with a butterfly net . a church where the services consist of games of russian roulette . jodorowsky is attracted to such images not because they are meaningful , in the sense of \u201cadding up\u201d to an overweening mystical vision , but because they feel meaningful . he\u2019s more interested in the mysterious effect these images have on the viewer than in teaching the audience a philosophical lesson . these \u201choney in the lion\u201d moments constantly poke through el topo \u2018s narrative , like fragments of ancient texts that were just too good to be left out , too powerful to not be divinely inspired . el topo is a scripture without a dogma .\ni am intrigued , so i get jodorowsky on the telephone from paris . i remind him how crazy people can get talking about el topo ( released in 1971 ) and the holy mountain ( 1973 ) . a film - buff colleague at sun media remembers walking out of el topo in the 1970s . wayne janes was , and still is , disgusted after buying a ticket because john lennon of the beatles had championed the film .\nanother person\u2019s loss ( the movie audience ) is another person\u2019s gain though ( the comic audience ) and now jodorowsky , together with superstar artist ladr\u00f6nn , has released the sons of el topo \u2013 volume 1 ka\u00efn . ka\u00efn is the eldest son of two , sired by el topo by two different women . vowing revenge for abandoning him , ka\u00efn sets upon a doomed journey to murder his now holy father . names are power though in jodorowsky\u2019s world and it soon becomes apparent why his son was named ka\u00efn . what follows is a drug - induced savage spectacle that features plenty of bizarre and violent confrontations between ka\u00efn , the world and el topo\u2019s followers .\nthe ceaseless shocking images on the screen , are what made\nel ' topo\nan underground hit in one new york theater for months in 1970 . not the story , not the performances , not the stars ( jodorowsky himself plays el topo and the child is his own son ) . the images . john lennon and yoko ono saw it , loved it , and convinced beatles manager allen klein to buy and release it . the film went on to play all over the world and engender countless interpretations . jodorowsky encourages such speculation by titling sections of the film after books of the bible (\npsalms\n) , and making el topo perhaps a christ figure .\nel topo ,\nfirst released theatrically in 1969 , made jodorowsky a household name with the counterculture crowd of the early 1970s .\nel topo\nprovided the template for\nmidnight movie madness ,\nscreening seven nights a week at midnight for seven straight months at the elgin cinema in new york . paradoxically , the film was thoroughly panned by the film critic of the new york times but it was then lauded by the paper ' s art critic who called it\na monumental work of filmic art .\nto say that el topo became a\ncult classic\nis something of an understatement in light of its surprisingly broad acceptance fueled , in part , by ringing\nthere are plans for a $ 15m sequel to el topo , in which jodorowsky ' s friend and fan , marilyn manson , is expected to star . but raising capital is difficult for jodorowsky , and he has no expectations .\nwill actually see the light of day . but with adan jodorowsky saying his father is currently experiencing a creative burst of energy and still making the film , there ' s hope we could one day see el topo ride again .\nwhat the hell , hero ? : numerous times with el topo . at least once with jodorowski , who was hailed as a creative genius : there is a scene where el topo rapes mara that jodorowksi claims was not staged and was actually him raping the actress . however , jodorowski has made a number of very outlandish claims about himself , his life and his work , and it is very advised to take what he says with a few grains of salt .\ni am sad to say we are giving up on el topo . we are going to give it some time before we go back . the last few visits have been disappointing . hopefully , they get back to what we remembered .\nan episodic picaresque that follows a man ' s quest - - for , um . . . god ? his inner child ? buddhist enlightenment ? we ' re never quite sure - - el topo is a fable packed with christian , hindu , confucian and zen buddhist symbols , not to mention references to freud and jung . but , as the film ' s trailer succinctly puts it , el topo\nis not a religious film , it contains all religions .\nbut what el topo does is to illustrate a very post - modern idea that through failure success eventually emerges . el topo may die failing to save the people from the cave , but when he dies , a beehive appears , just as upon the death of each of the master gunfighters in the desert . he does not find any final answer or enlightenment , but just as the movie goes on after all of the first four master gunfighters die , there is the implication that there is more beyond the death of el topo . his children survive to go on into the world further . his ultimate act is to destroy himself . his life , at the close of the film , is a negation .\never since the nineties , alejandro jodorowsky has been trying to gather the funds for a sequel for el topo . after finding out the hard way that studios thought the venture far too risky he turned to comics to broaden the el topo saga . it is a mystery to me how he was not able to find the necessary funds for the sequel , admirers of his cult movie are a regular who\u2019s who of directors and actors . maybe he should have turned to crowdfunding ?\n: the legitimate 2005 release of an el topo dvd was the event of the millenium for weird movie fans . the film is included as part of the 5 - disc set \u201cthe films of alejandro jodorowsky , \u201d which also includes dvds of\nthe second year , after the cannes premiere of\nsanta sangre ,\ni asked him why\nel topo\nhad been out of circulation . he blamed allen klein , the man who had put the film in circulation in the first place .\nafter finally freeing the trapped lepers from the mountain , the townspeople respond by massacring them . in a rage el topo charges at them , and despite being hit with heavy gunfire he scares the townspeople away and in a dying act , immolates himself .\nmeanwhile , lennon had persuaded klein to put up $ 1m to help jodorowsky make another film , the holy mountain . like el topo , it was a spiritual quest , this time following a christ - like figure ( jodorowsky , again ) seeking immortality .\nel topo was normal , the holy mountain was abnormal . my ambition was enormous . i wanted to make a picture like you would make a holy book , like the bhagavad gita or the tao te ching . i went very far .\naccordingly , el topo opens with a passage that could be an existential journey for one ' s soul or a spoof of a sergio leone spaghetti western : the bearded , leather - clad gunfighter el topo ( jodorowsky himself ) and his young son ( brontis jodorowsky ) ride through the desert and into a hamlet of bloodily decimated people and animals . from then on , it ' s a winding , spiraling road of evil bandits , mystical foes , and whip - cracking dykes , spiked with indelible , inexplicable imagery .\ntwice in el topo , we see bees building hives in corpses , just as the old testament bees made a home in the carcass of the lion . both uses of the image come at a crucial time in the film . the first appearance is in the climax to the first half of the movie . after he has finished his trials with the four masters , and feels that he has lost his soul , el topo comes across the body of the first master in a shallow grave , covered by a beehive . in despair , he grabs the comb and smears the honey all over his mouth and black beard . the image also appears in the final shot in the film . after el topo immolates himself at the climax , his ashes are covered by a swarm of bees .\nas someone who was born and raised in ca and craves authentic mexican food el topo is not the place . the food is mediocre at best and the service is even worse . the only redeeming value here is the margaritas are decent , but is that . . .\njodorowsky is the protagonist , as well as the director , writer and co - composer . he is everywhere ; he is , in his own words , \u201cthe maker of the topo . \u201d el topo is certainly a shrewd and canny film , expertly codifying various counterculture trends and clich\u00e9s , as well as making a stew with various religions , which lead vincent canby to call him an \u201cintellectual william randolph hearst\u201d and pauline kael to label him \u201can exploitation filmmaker . \u201d unlike most exploitation filmmaker though , he doesn\u2019t even have the courage of his bad taste and pretends that el topo , with all its cheap religious symbolism and mystical mumbo jumbo , really means something . kael again : \u201che\u2019s an exploitation filmmaker , but he glazes everything with a useful piety . it\u2019s the violence plus the unctuous prophetic tone that make el topo a heavy trip . . . jodorowsky has come up with something new , exploitation joined to sentimentality - the sentimentality of the counter - culture . \u201d\nthe lone rider is el topo . the name translates as\nthe mole .\nthe movie informs us that a mole spends his life digging tunnels to the sky , only to go blind when it sees the sun . this is not quite true , but truth is not allowed to interfere with its use as a convenient symbol . will el topo dig free and go blind ? and if he does , what will that mean ? pauline kael observed that fellini ' s\nla dolce vita\nis filled with symbols , and they ' re all obvious .\nel topo\nis filled with symbols , and they ' re not obvious . i am reminded of one of ebert ' s laws :\nif you have to ask what something symbolizes , it doesn ' t .\nor it stands for itself .\nofficial trailer for renowned director alejandro jodorowsky ' s 1970 cult classic film el topo , now available on dvd and blu - ray from abkco films . get the dvd here

friend of alejandro jodorowsky ) confirmed that el topo was one of his biggest influences for valhalla rising . both films are conceived by their directors as projections of acid trips .\nbut it was with his next film , el topo ( the mole ) , that jodorowsky , less a director and more a canny , barnum - esque mystical showman , tapped the zeitgeist . the story of its success / notoriety is almost as interesting as the film itself . championed by john lennon , who urged his manager allen klein to buy the rights , el topo , billed as \u201ca film too heavy to be shown any other way , \u201d was turned into a midnight movie sensation at ben barenholtz\u2019s elgin theater in new york city , where it ran for six months and brought underground fame to actor / director / writer / messiah / bullshit artist jodorowsky . well - known fans included dennis hopper , peter fonda , yoko ono and peter gabriel , whose concept album with genesis , the lamb lies down on broadway was supposedly inspired by the film . fando y lis was a sort of dry run for el topo with its woozy mishmash of styles , undigested surrealist clich\u00e9s and episodic quest narrative . what was missing was jodorowsky himself , who describes { el topo } as \u201ca quest for sainthood . \u201d\nthe new dvd collection of his films (\nel topo\nfando y ' lis ,\nthe holy mountain ,\nla cravate ,\nbut not\nsanta sangre ,\nwhich is separately available ) brings him back into focus as a great eccentric original .\nthe film opens with the black - clad gunfighter el topo ( jodorowsky ) riding into a small village on his horse with his naked son . the village has been ransacked , and there is blood and death everywhere . jodorowsky locates the criminals responsible \u2014 they are led by a military officer . el topo renders frontier justice and frees the surviving monks from the village and a woman . he leaves his son with the monks , and rides off with the woman . she convinces him to seek out and defeat four master gunfighters in the desert . he does so , and , finding them superior in skill , defeats them through trickery or luck . there is symbolism all over the movie . it is exaggerated symbolism , often religious . the master gunfighters each resemble a different religion . along the way a black - clad woman whose voice is overdubbed with that of a man joins the pair . the last master that el topo \u201cdefeats\u201d actually kills himself , to prove to that his life means nothing . the woman in black then shoots el topo , and his body is taken away by a band of physically handicapped or deformed people .\nthe movie is divided in three parts . during the first part , a gunslinger known as el topo ( who travels with his naked 7 year old son ) murders a group of bandits in revenge for the massacre of an entire village . the bandits are strangely dressed , degenerate and led by a fat , balding colonel . in the process , he liberates a woman he calls mara ( who the bandit leader was using as a slave ) . el topo falls in love with mara and rides off with her , abandoning his son at the monastery the bandits had occupied .\nis a continuous stream of unforgettable images ; any frame chosen at random inflames the imagination . my personal favorite is the lonsghot after el topo kills third master gunfighter , where his body lies bleeding in his own watering hole while the rest of the landscape is littered with rabbit corpses . the iconic image , however , is el topo riding off on horseback with a naked child sitting behind him , holding a black umbrella over his head . this image is particularly representative because it shows not only jodorowsky\u2019s gift for composition , but his penchant for shamelessly borrowing from other sources of inspiration :\nin the second part , mara convinces el topo that before she can love him he will need to be the best gunfighter in the world . in order to do so , he needs to find and kill four great masters who live in the desert . with the aid of a semi topless woman who speaks with a man ' s voice ( see above re : lsd ) el topo tracks down the four masters and kills them all by means of tricks . once he has killed them all , the mysterious woman shoots him , seduces mara , and leaves him to die .\ninteresting how you say our food is\nnot to your like\n, yet you feel the need to tell everyone else , with no particulars , using your sister as support . el topo gets rave reviews , mostly right here from those who have the gumption to speak up . . .\na bizarre , ultra - violent , allegorical western ,\nel topo\nis set in two halves that have widely been compared to the old and new testaments of the bible . in the first half , jodorowsky plays a violent , black - clad gunfighter who , accompanied by his naked son , sets off on a murderous mission to challenge four zen masters of gunfighting , and learns from each of them a great lesson before they die . in the second half , el topo sets out to find personal redemption , secluding himself in a subterranean community to learn the ways of peace , but unfortunately death is never far away . first released as an underground film , it was thanks to john lennon that the film was acquired by allen klein of abkco , who bought the rights to\nel topo\nand then financed alejandro jodorowsky ' s next film\nthe holy mountain .\na bizarre , ultra - violent , allegorical western ,\nel topo\nis set in two halves that have widely been compared to the . . . old and new testaments of the bible . in the first half ,

alejandro jodorowsky\u2019s next film\nthe holy mountain .\nthe holy mountain scandalized the 1973 cannes film festival . even more incomprehensible than el topo , it is a search for truth amid a torrent of religious imagery and mystical references from the occult . jodorowsky , who reads tarot cards in real life , once again stars , this time as the alchemist .\nit doesn\u2019t sound as if jodorowsky is committed to either a sensual travel or the son of el topo next , but he seemed incredibly hopeful that he would be making one of these two pictures next . i expect we will be hearing about which way he\u2019s going very soon though , as he didn\u2019t hang around following the premiere of the dance of reality , and he seems to be very keen to get working on a new feature soon . my money would probably be on the son of el topo , as it appears very much like he is shopping that film around for financing right now .\nthe third part begins with el topo awaking in an underground cavern filled with deformed people , who believe he is some kind of god . he discovers they ' re trapped in the cavern , and their deformities are the result of inbreeding . after sucking on a psychedelic beetle ( see above re : the lsd , again ) and undergoing a symbolic rebirth ( ummm . . . never mind , you probably get it by now ) el topo volunteers to dig a tunnel out of the mountain and in the process falls in love with a dwarf girl and destroys america , or at least capitalist amerika .\n: el topo , a figure dressed in black and carrying his nude son on horseback behind him , uses his supernatural shooting ability to free a town from the rule of a sadistic colonel . he then abandons his son for the colonel\u2019s woman , who convinces him to ride deep into the desert to face off against four mystical gunfighters . all of the gunfighters die , but el topo is betrayed , shot , and dragged into a cave by a society of deformed people , who ask the outlaw turned pacifist to help them build a tunnel so they can escape to a dusty western town run by degenerate religious fascists .\nalejandro jodorowsky crafts a stunning , visceral and action packed western film that can actually be compared to some of the genres finest works . el topo is a great film , a film that is unprecedented in its raw energy , and fluid direction . cult director judorowsky also acts , and he delivers a film that is remarkable in the way that it showcases its violence . no other western has taken such an approach as jodorowsky . brilliantly shot , acted and with a great story , this is a fine picture that is almost a forgotten classic of the genre . as far as westerns are concerns , i would call el topo as one of the finest along with once upon a time in the west , the good , the bad and the ugly and the wild bunch . the film should definitely be rediscovered by genre fans , but due to some of its striking images , this may not appeal to everyone . if you ' re looking for something a bit different in the genre , el topo is that film to watch . alejandro jodorowsky is a terrific filmmaker , and he doesn ' t compromise whatsoever . his vision is striking , unrelenting , and the sheer raw power of el topo will grab your attention from the moment in starts . the story is well crafted and it is a film that resonates well , as jodorowsky crafts a film that is very unique in the western genre , a film that displays certain ideas that are the director ' s trademark . el topo is a pleasant film , one that ranks among the finest in the genre , and if you ' ve enjoyed many of the spaghetti westerns , you ' ll surely enjoy this one . the film has a raw power that makes it memorable due to its visuals , and you are simply enthralled at what you are watching . if you enjoy obscured , cult cinema , then el topo is a film very well worth your time .\nas for confusing audiences , jodorowsky couldn ' t care less . in the case of el topo , he says ,\ni wanted it to be a free audience . somebody can laugh . the other can get angry . somebody can love . i don ' t want to give to the audience something clear .\nwith this event , we begin to pay tribute to alejandro jodorowsky and to present a selection of his exquisite filmography . . el topo followed by fando y lis ( 1968 ) , la monta\u00f1a sagrada ( 1973 ) , santa sangre ( 1989 ) and the national premiere of la danza de la realidad . welcome , master jodorowsky .\nnow , he has decided to convert several abandoned movies into comic form , as well , including \u201cson of el topo , \u201d an original idea called \u201cabel cain , \u201d and a metaphysical western - casino - gangster story called \u201cking shot , \u201d which at one point had a cast attached that included nick nolte and marilyn manson .\nthings get complicated when el topo takes a lover named mara ( played by mara lorenzio , a non - actor who , jodorowsky says , was tripping on lsd during the shoot ) . we soon learn that mara is a mexican version of lady macbeth , egging on her man to prove himself by killing the four sharpshooter masters of the desert ( oh , yeah . . . . ) contaminated by mara , el topo can win only by cheating . but as a true hero , he is wracked by guilt . eventually , he undergoes a version of christ ' s passion and begins atoning for his sins - - by helping out hordes of deformed dwarfs .\nmany of these have been exiled to a cave inside a mountain . el topo , threatened with death , bargains to free them from their cave and digs a tunnel into the mountain . generations of inbreeding have presumably produced the birth defects on view ; no word about how the cave people have been able to eat over the years .\nalejandro jodorowsky ' s el topo ( 1970 ) has rightly earned a place in the pantheon of cult cinema . watch any number of documentaries or interviews with the man himself and the film will often stand proud as the pioneer of the\nmidnight movie\n; a film obviously shown late due to its content but also exuding free reign \u2026\nel topo does stand up to its rep : it ' s still one of the most distinctive , if solipsistic , translations to film of one man ' s vision . it contains images and scenes of breathtaking sublimity - - some quite beautiful , others nasty and cruel - - as well as boasting a few comic gags straight out of vaudeville .\nto some , el topo remains something of a dubious endeavor , as na\u00efve in its way as it is wise . as ludicrous and egomaniacal as jodorowky often comes off , i\u2019m tempted to take him at his word , and there\u2019s undeniably something sincere about topo\u2019s quest through his inner desert and the struggle he faces when he emerges from the darkness . it\u2019s perhaps because jodorowsky balances so carelessly between creating spiritual art and succumbing to total artifice that his film seems to sprout and show off new feathers every time one revisits it .\nalejandro jodorowsky is not exactly a household name , but he was one of the most significant counterculture filmmakers of the \u201970s and his second film , el topo , remains one of the key midnight / head / trip movies . hoberman and rosenbaum gave him a whole chapter , titled \u201cthrough the wasteland of the counterculture , \u201d in their informative and entertaining 1983 book midnight movies , primarily focusing on el topo and its follow up , the holy mountain . several years ago , after a long period of unavailability , a dvd set of his films was released , which also included a 1994 documentary , la constellation jodorowsky , his early short film , once considered lost , la cravate and two soundtrack cds .\nalejandro jodorowsky , guest of honor at the 11th ficm , where he will present his new film la danza de la realidad , is here and will spend the night in morelia . the prelude to his visit began at the cin\u00e9polis centro with the screening of el topo ( 1970 ) , one of the masterpieces that make up his extraordinary filmography . his sons , brontis , actor and theater director , and ad\u00e1n , a musician who will exhibit his short film el ladr\u00f3n de voces here , were present at the screening .\nin 2006 , following the restoration and remastering of both films to hd ,\nel topo\nand\nthe holy mountain\nwere shown in the special events section at the prestigious 44th annual new york film festival . the films , originally made in the 1970s in mexico , were restored and remastered under the close supervision of jodorowsky himself . that same year both films were featured in the cannes classics section of the cannes international film festival .\nel topo\nwas screened before a black - tie audience at salle bunuel in the palais des festivals and\nthe holy mountain\nwas honored with the prized\ncenterpiece screening ,\nwhich was held for the first time ever on the beach at sundown .\nin advance of blindman ' s home video release , the film will be given theatrical screenings this friday and saturday at midnight et at the ifc center in new york city . the movie also will be shown on october 21 at the castro theater in san francisco as a double feature with director alejandro jodorowsky ' s famous cult flick ' s el topo .\noh .\nbut , i am making another movie instead ! i have signed the contract already with some russian producers . i will do son of el topo \u2013 a sequel . it ' s a conflict between two brothers who need to come to a solution . i am about to start four months of preparation . i can tell you nothing today .\nmaybe it is a human , honest thing . maybe it ' s why a young person wants to see ( el topo and the holy mountain ) now , because maybe today ' s movies are 100 percent business .\nwhen i challenge the percentage , jodorowsky chuckles and settles on 92 % instead . he is a provocateur with a sense of humour .\nif anything , el topo is a hoot to watch ( in moderate doses ) and a powerful reminder that we ' ve become a people obsessed with having experiences of the material , and spiritual , kind , regardless of their content . there ' s not much you can do with a gourd - full of memories , except recollect them - - usually alone .\ngreat film experience to revisit . as opposed to bringing out the magnifying glass on the image i was content just to enjoy the improved colors and higher detail via the superior resolution . it has its transfer imperfections but is the best way to see el topo at present in the comfort of your midnight - madness home theater display . we look forward to holy mountain via\ni still agree with that and do not think the symbols add up to a conclusion . but now having seen more of jodorowsky ' s work , i think jodorowsky ' s method is not without a purpose . what is el topo seeking in the desert ? why , he is seeking symbols , images , bizarre people and events , with which to fill the film .\ndue to an acrimonious dispute over ownership rights between jodorowsky and allen klein , the film was withdrawn from circulation for 30 years , during which time it could only be seen on bootlegged vhs copies . the scarcity of screenings vaulted el topo \u2018s already powerful reputation into a legendary one . jodorowsky and klein reconciled in 2004 and the film had a legal dvd release in 2005 .\nel topo was burned into the frontal lobes of my 20 - year - old self . not so much for the mystical overtones but for expanding the boundaries of cinema in terms of morals , philosophy , genre - bending and its reflections on not only the audience but on human relations and how power warps those affiliations . it laid the foundation of the midnight movies concept .\nthe film plays like a psychedelic vision quest courtesy of sergio leone and ruggero deodato . it opens with the eponymous el topo ( played by jodorowsky ) riding in the desert with his naked son . having turned seven years old , he must prove himself a man by burying his favorite toy and a picture of his mother . afterwards they come across the remnants of a town visited by a slaughter of biblical proportions : bodies and disemboweled animals litter the streets , literal rivers of maroon blood soak in the oppressive heat , and a chorus of unseen birds squawk into oblivion . after castrating and killing the colonel responsible for the massacre , el topo abandons his son with a group of monks and rides into the desert with a young woman he names mara .\nendorsements from john lennon and yoko ono that made it a commercial success in its own time . the film conflates classic american western and avant - garde european sensibilities with zen buddhism and the bible as master gunfighter and mystic el topo ( played by writer - director jodorowsky ) attempts to defeat four sharp - shooting rivals on a bizarre path to allegorical self - awareness and resurrection .\nby the time the second half of the film begins , where el topo is resurrected from death after 20 years and joins forces with his now grown son to free a tribe of incestuous dwarfs from their mountain prison by digging them a tunnel to freedom , the audience has come to accept that the plot of el topo is of only secondary importance . here is a film that communes with forces both sacred and blasphemous , both esoteric and exoteric . but above all , it is a film of symbols and images . a bandit uses high - heeled shoes as target practice . a lamb hangs crucified from a stone tower . water erupts from stones in the desert , eggs from beneath the sand , and still the mole digs and digs and digs and dies .\nbut that\u2019s not all , jodorowsky is also planning to make his long gestating the son of el topo film , a sequel to his 1970 cult classic . jodorowsky has recently put together a graphic novel of the first thirty minutes of the first film , with help from artist jos\u00e9 ladr\u00f6nn . i was lucky enough to see the graphic novel , and it looks very much in keeping with the original film , and is packed full of arresting imagery . the graphic novel has a table of contents at the start that lists three chapters : \u2018abel\u2019 , \u2018cain\u2019 and \u2018abelcain\u2019 , but jodorowsky said that this novel is part one of four . i also spoke to jodorowsky about the son of el topo and he discussed the graphic novel and his desire to make the film :\nroger ebert once wrote : \u201cif you have to ask what something symbolizes , it doesn\u2019t . \u201d such a latitude seemingly stymies attempts to interpret the works of alejandro jodorowsky , that great chilean - born artistic polymath who has amassed one of the most distinctive , original , and frightening bodies of work since william blake and pablo picasso . one of the crown jewels of his life\u2019s work is the ostensibly incomprehensible el topo , a western about a black - clad gunslinger who undergoes a doomed quest for enlightenment . \u201cel topo\u201d is the spanish word for \u201cmole . \u201d and in the film\u2019s opening moments a narrator explains : \u201cthe mole digs tunnels under the earth , looking for the sun . sometimes , he gets to the surface . when he sees the sun , he is blinded . \u201d\nanother easier - to - spot influence on \u201crango\u201d that appears in his list is alejandro jodorowsky \u2018s psychedelic midnight movie \u201c el topo . \u201d when discussing \u201cel topo , \u201d he just took a deep breath and said , \u201cthat thing is a trip . a mystical , spiritual allegory of western spiritualization , all of that . i think it says that you can have allegory and metaphor and things like that in a western . alejandro , in that movie , did so much more for the western . \u201d verbinski did a lot for the western too , throwing in his influences into a truly potent pop culture bouillabaisse that will probably inspire whole generations of kids without them even knowing it ( until one of them makes a highly stylized breakthrough years from now and puts \u201crango\u201d on their list ) .\n\u201ci could never do \u2018son of el topo , \u2019 for 40 years , \u201d jodorowsky , 82 , told the wrap . \u201cit cost $ 30 million and they didn\u2019t want to give me that . but in three more days , i will start to make the comic book of \u2018son of el topo . \u2019 i\u2019ll do it in comics . and also \u2018king shot , \u2019 i\u2019ll do it in comics . all the pictures i could never do , i\u2019ll do it in comics . all the comics i do are the pictures i could never do . i don\u2019t believe in failing . i have dignity . i will never fail ; if i can\u2019t do it in movies , i\u2019ll do it in comics . if i can\u2019t do it in comics , i\u2019ll do it in a written book . \u201d\na surreal cross between a sergio leone spaghetti western and ( a poor man ' s version of ) andrei tarkovsky ' s metaphysical sagas ( stalker , mirror ) , el topo made a big splash during its brief run . widely credited as the first midnight movie , it enjoyed a sold - out nightly run at the elgin theatre in manhattan for more than nine months , starting in december 1970 .\nhola ! the hotel has only one swimmpool , we would like to invite you to visit our web

musical or comedy ( for the first time in an animated movie ) , with two other awards for its music . famously , beauty and the beast was the first ever animated film to be nominated for the academy award for best picture , and was the only animated film to hold this honor until 2009 , when the academy awards switched from 5 best picture nominations to 10 , and pixar ' s animated film up was nominated . beauty and the beast received a total of six nominations , including best picture , best original score , best sound , and three nominations for its song . it ended up winning two , for best original score and best original song for the song\nbeauty and the beast\n.\noriginally , gaston was going to stab the beast a second time before beast knocked him off . in addition , an even earlier rendition of the scene had him ready to kill beast with his blunderbuss , with belle preventing him by smashing him in the head with a slab . gaston would land onto the ground , and then be mauled by the wolves that belle and maurice encountered earlier .\nbeauty and the beast is the first disney animated classic ( other than 101 dalmatians , the lion king and two toy story films ) to feature the 2006 walt disney pictures logo and the walt disney animation studios logo at the beginning of the film on current releases .\nwell what held this film back was the english audio for a film depicting a russian tank crew . i would have dubbed it over into russian and used english subtitles .\nstefan kanfer writes in his book serious business that in this film\nthe tradition of the musical theater was fully co - opted ,\nsuch as in the casting of broadway performers angela lansbury and jerry orbach . ign named beauty and the beast as the greatest animated film of all time , directly ahead of wall - e .\na pop version of the\nbeauty and the beast\ntheme , performed by c\u00e9line dion and peabo bryson over the end credits , was released as a commercial single from the film ' s soundtrack , supported with a music video . the dion / bryson version of\nbeauty and the beast\nbecame an international pop hit , reaching the top ten of the singles charts in the united states and the united kingdom .\nthe beast of war , or as it ' s widely known to american viewers under the us release title of the beast , is a 1988 war film that followed a russian tank crew during the russian occupation of afghanistan that finds itself separated from their fellow tankers and relentless pursued by mujaheddin fighters . the film was shot in israel , using the middle eastern landscape , and more importantly , israeli armorers . the very real ti - 67 tanks ( israeli - modified t55 tanks featuring a larger 105mm gun vs . the original 100mm gun ) used as well as the authentic soviet weaponry were all provided by israel , with cooperation from the idf . while the t55 tank was well obsolete in the russian army by the time frame of this film , however it was nice to see authentic soviet armor in a western movie .\nupon the theatrical release of the finished version , the film was universally praised , with roger ebert giving it four stars out of four and saying that\nbeauty and the beast reaches back to an older and healthier hollywood tradition in which the best writers , musicians , and filmmakers are gathered for a project on the assumption that a family audience deserves great entertainment , too .\nthe film received mostly positive reviews , among them some of the best notices the studio had received since the 1940 ' s . rotten tomatoes , a film review aggregator , shows beauty and the beast with a 94 % approval rating averaged from 108 reviews of the original theatrical release and later theatrical and home video versions . the use of computer animation , particularly in the\nbeauty and the beast\nballroom sequence , was singled out in several reviews as one of the film ' s highlights .\nwhen the beast of war was being filmed in 1987 ( released in 1988 ) , the russo - afghan war was still ongoing , and thus a topic of debate , but the quaint perception of the mountain tribes of afghanistan as ' victims of soviet oppression ' is now out of date . views of afghanistan , its peoples and the outer tribal areas have changed in recent years with the current us involvement in the country and the radicalization of the mountain regions towards militant islam . an attempt to paint the russian invasion ( 1980 - 1988 ) as a mirror of the american action in vietnam ( 1965 - 1973 ) seems awkward and glosses over the very real differences .\nthe beast is a criminally under - appreciated gem from director kevin reynolds , containing a resurgent immediacy in light of the recent wars going on in the middle east .\nfirst , some background . the film version of the beast was released in september 1988 , about 6 months before the end of the soviet - afghan war . on one side was the soviet army and the allied afghan forces , and the other side was the mujahideen insurgents , many of whom later became members of al qaeda ( for one , osama bin laden ) . one of the most influential turning points in the war was the introduction of the stinger missile , used by the mujahideen \u2013 who were funded by us congressman charlie wilson thereby supported by the united states against the soviet union as this was the tail - end of the cold war .\na powerful , emotionally - charged war story pits russian soldiers against afghan rebels with spectacular action sequences . labeled a traitor by his commander , a peace - minded tank driver is left to die in the desert until the enemy ' s leader rescues him . together they work to kill off the beast , a seemingly invincible tank . \u00a9 1988 columbia pictures industries , inc . all rights reserved .\nwalt disney had been trying to adapt\nbeauty and the beast\ninto a film going way back to the earliest days of walt disney full - length animated features , like\nsnow white and the seven dwarfs .\nit seems that the 1946 film adaptation by jean cocteau dulled disney ' s enthusiasm for the project at the time and it fell to the wayside for decades . when disney studios began to ramp up their production of new feature films in the late 1980s , however ,\nbeauty and the beast\nwas back on the table . screenwriter jim cox first took a crack at the film in 1988 , but disney studios chairman jeffrey katzenberg turned it down , noting that , while good , it was too close to the original fairy tale . after an attempt to land the director of the animated parts of\nwho framed roger rabbit ? ,\nrichard williams , disney settled on a colleague of williams ' , richard purdum .\nmeanwhile , belle refuses the beast ' s\ninvitation\nto dinner , and the beast orders his servants not to let her eat , but lumi\u00e8re serves her dinner anyway ( in the song\nbe our guest\n) and cogsworth gives her a tour of the castle . however , she wanders off on her own and finds the west wing , which the beast had forbidden her to go into . she goes in anyway , discovering many broken items , including a shredded portrait of a young prince and the enchanted rose . before she can touch it , the beast sees her and angrily screams at her to get out .\naccording to the film ' s director taika waititi , it took nearly two years of planning to secure the rights to the song .\nthe new live - action remake of beauty and the beast is now in theaters nationwide . the reboot has big shoes to fill as the original 1991 disney film was an undeniable blockbuster , earning more than $ 425 million at the box office worldwide . the original film ' s music , composed by 11 - time grammy winner alan menken , garnered acclaim and multiple accolades , including grammy and oscar recognition .\namazing story , great characters and cinematography . this film really captures the action and atrocities of the soviet - afghan war .\nin the special edition dvd release , the second disc contained jump 5 ' s music video for beauty and the beast . the newly - released diamond edition contains jordin sparks ' version of the song .\n( 1988 ) ,\nbrings together a number of social themes - male rage against wife and child resulting from economic failure , the emergence of violence from past guilt , and the more conservative idea of the inefficacy of civil institutions in the face of the evil in human nature\n( p . 173 ) .\nin kevin reynolds ' the beast , george dzundza plays a cruel russian tank commander who gets lost in the wilderness during the war in afghanistan . as the enemy closes in , the glazed -

genre . the\nhorror of personality\nfilm , seminally represented in hitchcock ' s\nthe late eighties were hugely important for walt disney animation studios , as the studio found itself flush with exciting new talent and producing the kind of films that walt disney himself could be proud of . in 1987 , during the whirlwind production of the groundbreaking live action / animation hybrid who framed roger rabbit ? , a proposal was floated to resurrect an idea that walt had batted around since the snow white and the seven dwarfs days : the classic fairy tale beauty and the beast , told in classic animated fashion . and while we now recognize the film that was released , finally , in 1991 to widespread critical and commercial approval as an immortal classic , the first attempt to get the film off the ground was unsuccessful . but in its failure , it paved the way for the film that we cherish today .\nthe review of this film by whpratt1 is completely wrong . this film is not critical of the mujahadeen , but rather shows them struggling to fight for their freedom . the soviet army is the oppressive evil presence . this film was made during the cold war , when americans saw a line drawn in the sand between communism and capitalist democracy . in the film , the soviets are clearly the bad guys , and the mujahadeen are fighting the good fight . the main character comes to understand this during the film , finally telling his soviet commanding officer that\nwe ' re the nazis this time .\nduring the soviet invasion of afghanistan , the united states funded , supplied , and trained mujahadeen forces . american stinger missiles were used to shoot down soviet helicopters . the most famous mujahadeen fighter trained by the united states would come to be osama bin laden . he would participate in the fight against the soviet army , much to the approval of the united states . this film pays tribute to the mujahadeen for valiantly defending themselves against america ' s enemy . the fact that the united states has invaded afghanistan makes the film much more interesting to watch . it is ironic that these militants once praised by hollywood are now our enemies . the lesson this film should teach us now , albeit inadvertently , is that we should be careful who we glorify and who we vilify . humans will be humans , and will fight for what they * believe * is right , sometimes whether it actually is right or not .\na short magazine lee - enfield no . 1 mk iii * bolt - action rifle is among the collection of weapons used by the afghan mujahideen in the film . a lee - enfield is seen in the hands of taj ( steven bauer ) , the leader of the small afghan mujahideen group and it was his main weapon in the film . taj is also seen holding his lee - enfield rifle when he swears badal ( revenge ) to allah when he was standing at the crushed remains of his brother . the weapon ' s main role in the film is being cannibalized for parts by koverchenko to repair the damaged rpg - 7 launcher . another lee - enfield can be seen being cleaned by one of the villagers just prior to the raid by the soviets at the beginning of the film .\ndespite this , many critics have noted that disney borrowed a lot from jean cocteau ' s famous and influential 1946 film adaptation of the fairy tale , as that film was the first to include a magic mirror , castle servants , and a love triangle . none of these elements were in the original fairy tale .\nhis first big success with a film soundtrack came with 1988\u2019s rain man . but his first brush with semi - fame came before that with the buggles , the one - hit - wonder \u201980s new wave band known for \u201cvideo killed the radio star , \u201d the first music video ever broadcast on mtv . zimmer recently staged a mini -

something much more relevant today than during the russian occupation . an interesting film which doesn ' t take sides most likely to be appreciated by guys into war dramas .\ncoming back from the disastrous florida screening , hahn announced that everything the team had worked on would be thrown out . but there was a silver lining : they would be granted a research trip to paris . after the trip they didn\u2019t go back to london ; instead they returned to los angeles . quietly , the artists were assigned to other projects . hahn , woolverton and the purdums continued working on beauty and the beast , now with the help of ashman and menken . but richard purdum wasn\u2019t happy with the way the production was headed ; . in 1989 , the purdums left the project and a pair of relatively unproven directors , kirk wise and gary trousdale , who had overseen the \u201ccranium command\u201d short film for epcot , were assigned to take over beauty and the beast . many of the creative principles involved in the original version , including deja , keane and woolverton , remained on the film and contributed to its overwhelming success .\nproduction of beauty and the beast had to be completed on a compressed timeline of two years rather than four because of the loss of production time spent developing the earlier purdam version of the film . most of the production was done at the main feature animation studio , housed in the air way facility in glendale , california . a smaller team at the disney - mgm studios theme park in lake buena vista , florida assisted the california team on several scenes , particularly the\nbe our guest\nnumber .\n) ,\nthe longevity of the horror genre may testify to the injustice and illness of ' patriarchal ' society and its individual psyches\n( p . 105 ) . another student of the horror film (\nice cube and dr . dre\u2019s buddy f . gary gray ( friday , the italian job ) directs the period biopic with an insider\u2019s eye and a nose for emotional gut punches that key into why the story of five young men from south central rapping about police brutality and hood unrest in 1988 still resonates today , in an era of trayvon martins , michael browns , and sandra blands .\nwhile soundtracks to films such as saturday night fever ( 1977 ) , flashdance ( 1983 ) and purple rain ( 1984 ) , among others , had previously earned album of the year grammy nominations , the soundtrack for beauty and the beast marked the first time \u2014 and only time to date \u2014 an animated film soundtrack received a nomination in the category . which album ended up winning the award for 1992 ? eric clapton ' s unplugged .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\n) has identified\nan authoritarian , often crippling parental figure\n( p . 164 ) as a key generic component of the horror film . in both\nthat de palma and kubrick are able to reveal the danger in the regressive quest to restore the patriarchal past is a testament to the power of their cinematic visions and the horror of personality genre . nonetheless , identifying the beast as merely the return of the repressed neglects the on - going divided self that plagues both america and american men . if we can\nmaurice ' s latest invention is a wood - chopping machine . when he rides off to display the machine at the fair , he loses his way in the woods and stumbles upon the beast ' s castle , where he meets the transformed servants lumi\u00e8re ( who was turned into a candelabra ) , cogsworth ( who was turned into a mantle clock ) , mrs . potts ( who was turned into a teapot ) , her son chip ( who was turned into a teacup ) , and fifi ( who was turned into a feather duster ) . after getting used to seeing talking objects , the servants warm him by the fire , only to be found by the beast , who is not happy to find a trespasser in his castle and frightens his servants . the beast imprisons maurice , but belle is led back to the castle by maurice ' s horse , philippe , and offers to take her father ' s place . when the beast agrees to this and sends him home , maurice tells gaston and the other villagers what happened , but they think he has lost his mind , so he goes to rescue her alone , but gets lost on his way back to the beast ' s castle .\nbetsy hearne , the editor of the bulletin of the center for children ' s books , writes that the film belittles the original story ' s moral about\ninner beauty ,\nas well as the heroine herself , in favor of a more brutish struggle ;\nin fact ,\nshe says ,\nit is not beauty ' s lack of love that almost kills disney ' s beast , but a rival ' s dagger .\namong the creepiest pieces of music ever composed , john carpenter ' s main theme for 1978 ' s halloween represents a perfect example of the seamless marriage of music and film .\nthe ak - 47 is one of the more common weapons in the film , used by both the soviets and the afghan mujahideen alike . in the film , soviets use mostly aks - 47 folding stock rifles , while the afghans have both folding and fixed stock models . in the real war , the soviet forces almost exclusively used the 5 . 45mm ak - 74 / aks - 74 rifles , the 7 . 62x39mm ak variants relegated to the communist afghan regime soldiers . so the use of the 7 . 62x39mm aks for the soviets is historically anachronistic .\nwith the release of the official trailer for the live - action remake of beauty and the beast having been last week , i ' ve seen many mixed emotions about the cast for the upcoming film . as most of you know , i ' m a die - hard disney nerd , however , beauty and the beast reigns supreme among my favorite films of all time , not just in the realm of disney . i had to watch the trailer about four times before i could get through it without crying , and personally , i ' m very excited about the cast . however , since many viewers seem to not be so familiar with all of the personnel involved in the film , i thought i would give a little crash course on each of them , while also providing some other films to take a look at to view their previous work . the remake of b & b is hitting theaters everywhere march 17th , 2017 .\nthe film was released from the disney vault on october 5 , 2010 , as the second of disney ' s diamond editions , in the form of a 3 - disc - blu - ray disc and dvd combination pack ; representing the first release of beauty and the beast on home video in high - definition format . this edition consists of four versions of the film : the original theatrical version , an extended version , the new york film festival storyboard - only version , and a fourth iteration displaying the storyboards via picture - in - picture alongside the original theatrical version . the bonus material contains never - before - seen art , making of video , and interviews along with new games activities . a two - disc dvd edition was released on november 23 , 2010 . it was also announced that disney would release 3d blu - ray in october 2011 .\nthe beast is a russian tank involved in a war between russia and afghanistan , and when we first are introduced to it it is destroying an afghan village and killing many of its inhabitants . the russian soldiers inside range in character from the deeply sympathetic ( jason patric ) to the bloodthirsty ( george dzundza ) , and the rest of the film details acts of betrayal and suspicion among them while attempting to escape from afghan foot soldiers seeking vengeance for their atrocity .\nthe scrapped version did not have the enchanted objects of beast ' s castle speaking . it also had a younger sister and an aunt for belle who pushed her to marry gaston , who was a weaselly , sort of wimpy character at first .\ni knew nothing about this film when i decided to watch it - i was interested in tank warfare , and movies about that are thin on the ground . the first pleasant surprise was that ( in the print that i saw ) the afghans ' dialogue is subtitled ( rare in a pre - 2000 hollywood film ) , and that the russian characters speak plain american english . no clunky russian accents , just dialogue between characters who all speak the same language . at first the\nplot\n, such as it is , seemed pretty predictable . that may be true , but the way the film presents the plot is not predictable . all the praise the film gets in these reviews is merited - the acting is good , the story is believable , and what drives the story comes as a surprise . it may be a low - budget film , but if i had known about it when it came out , it would have put my butt in a theater seat somewhere , and i would have loved every minute .\noriginally , beast was to have brought back a deer he had killed in the forest to the castle and eat it in an animalistic manner , but it was cut because it would have resulted in the audience viewing him with disgust , and not with intended sympathy .\nfrightened , belle tries to escape , but she and philippe are attacked by wolves . suddenly , the beast miraculously arrives at her rescue and fends off the wolves , showing that he may have some feelings towards her . after belle nurses his wounds , he gives her the castle library as a gift , and they become friends . later , they have an elegant dinner and a romantic ballroom dance . however , afterwards , belle feels lonely at missing her father . when beast lets her use the enchanted mirror , she sees her father dying in the woods as he struggles to come to her rescue , and with only hours left before the rose wilts , the beast allows her to leave , giving her the mirror to remember him by . this horrifies the servants , who fear they will never be humans again .\nin the stained glass image at the beginning of beauty and the beast it looks as though the prince has two pedigree looking dogs ; one white and one brown . but throughout the movie , there is one dog depicted and when returned to its true form it looks more like a mutt , that is sultan .\nbelle finds maurice and takes him home , but gaston arrives with a lynch mob led by monsieur d ' arque of the local insane asylum . unless she agrees to marry gaston , monsieur d ' arque will lock her father up . belle proves maurice sane by showing them the beast with the magic mirror , but when belle furiously confronts gaston after he mocks her for being in love with a\nmonster\nby saying that he is the real monster , gaston becomes jealous , snaps , and arouses the mob ' s fear of the beast , leading them to the castle to kill him . gaston locks belle and maurice in their basement , but chip , who stowed away in belle ' s luggage , chops the basement door apart with maurice ' s machine , allowing belle and maurice to hurry back to the beast ' s castle on phillipe .\nthis is an excellent movie depicting the russian occupation of afghanistan and the difficulties and hostilities from the people towards the russian army . the action is very real as the tank crew ( the beast ) try to join their own forces after getting lost during operations . i found the movie exciting , realistic and very impressive acting by the cast . i highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in war action and specially the afghan war .\njust two years following the release of her first album in english , dion won her first grammy for 1992 for best pop performance by a duo or group with vocal for her ironically romantic duet of\nbeauty and the beast\nwith bryson .\nperhaps the one duet that gave my career the biggest boost in the early days was singing ' beauty and the beast ' with peabo bryson ,\nsaid dion .\nwhile there was a definite contrast between our voices in our solo parts , when we sang together , our voices became one . this is the true magic that comes with singing duets .\nthe golden - voiced canadian has won five grammys to date , including record of the year for another film song :\nmy heart will go on\nfrom 1997 ' s titanic .\nas belle finds out that the beast truly loves her as he lies on the ground , apparently dead from his injuries , she begins weeping over his loss and sadly whispers that she loves him , just as the final petal from the enchanted rose falls off , breaking the spell . belle watches in amazement as the beast is revived and turned back into a human . belle studies him carefully , recognizing him as the man from the portrait in the west wing , and seeing that he still has the same eyes , she says\nit is you !\nthe two kiss , turning the servants human and transforming the castle back into its original elegance . the last scene shows belle and the prince dancing in the ballroom as her father and the servants happily watch them , while lumi\u00e8re and cogsworth enter a feud .\nin addition , caps allowed an easier combination of hand - drawn art with computer - generated imagery , which before had to be plotted to animation cells and painted traditionally . the latter technique was put to significant use during the\nbeauty and the beast\nwaltz sequence , in which belle and beast dance through a computer - generated ballroom as the camera dollies around them in simulated 3d space . the filmmakers had originally decided against the use of computers in favor of traditional animation , but later , when the technology had improved , decided it could be used for the one scene in the ballroom . the success of the ballroom sequence helped convince studio executives to further invest in computer animation .\na peculiar challenge exists when you are writing a film for a large corporation such as walt disney studios is that there are so many executives to answer to on each movie that it is difficult to maintain a cohesive voice for any given film . therefore , it is unsurprising to note that a number of disney films have undergone rather dramatic makeovers from their original screenplays . for instance , as we noted in a movie legend revealed from a while back , elsa in frozen was originally the villain of that film .\nadmit that father no longer knows best , especially when promoting an outmoded patriarchal order , then perhaps we can escape from the ni . htmlares that populate both the american horror of personality film and america itself .\nreal life : the film conveniently dovetails this real - life incident with dr . dre\u2019s personal family drama , but members of n . w . a . did get harassed by cops outside of audio achievements while recording straight outta compton in 1987 . curiously , however , arabian prince\u2014a part of the early incarnation of n . w . a . who worked on the album before slowly fading out of the group\u2014has very little presence in the film .\nthe very real ti - 67 tanks ( israeli - modified t55 tanks featuring a larger 105mm gun vs . the original 100mm gun ) used as well as the authentic soviet weaponry were all provided by israel , with cooperation from the idf . the t55 tanks were well obsolete by the time frame of this film , however it was nice to see authentic soviet armor in a western movie . when the film was made in 1987 ( released in 1988 ) , the russo - afghan war was still ongoing , and thus a topic of debate . a nice example of a real authentic soviet armored vehicle in a western movie . actually an israeli ti - 67 tank , standing in for a t55 ( the same tank except for a larger main gun ) , there are numerous beautiful shots of the tank in action and get a real understanding of the mechanisms and functions of the vehicle . an armored vehicle lover ' s dream . at one point , koverchenko and the mujahideen take advantage of the limited elevation range of the tank ' s main gun ; a notorious weakness of soviet tanks operating in the mountains of afghanistan ."]}

work with . we are honored & humbled they chose memory lane video as their cinematography vendor & partner . we wish them the very best for their beautiful future together .\nthough it covers familiar territory , missionary proves to be an uncomfortably wicked little stalker film .\nit\u2019s not usually the done thing to reference the fact other people have reviewed the film in a review of that same film . however if you take a glance around the internet at other reviews of memory lane ( and i don\u2019t advise you do , other than in this instance , as haddonfield horror is more than capable of fulfilling those needs ) you\u2019ll notice some pretty high marks . far and away the reason for these marks is because the reviewers are quite openly giving the filmmakers of memory lane very charitable , lenient scores . they did , after all , make this feature for less than $ 300 dollars .\nthat low - budget could also be referred to as \u2018no budget\u2019 with the reported money behind memory lane being under $ 300 . anyone bored of repetitive sci - fi or wanting more imaginative tales with roots grounded in the realism of the human mind will get a lot from memory lane . whether you watch it as an educational experience on minimalism , or want a fresh perspective on tried and tested formulas , this is a film that will probably build a following over time , so why not be there from the beginning ?\ntowards the end memory lane realises its got a shedload of loose ends and it puts its foot down in an effort to resolve them all . it feels very rushed and very badly judged . the repeated revelations really should have some time to breath instead of immediately having the film rush into the next point .\non nov . 11 , 2011 , \u201cmemory lane\u201d surfaced on the internet for free for 48 hours in an attempt to build buzz . and viewers must have thought it was the bee\u2019s knees , because the film gained more than 22 , 000 views . the publicity continued to build , \u201cmemory lane\u201d was picked up by the new york times , the wall street journal . the west virginia filmmakers guild asked holmes to screen it at the annual filmmakers festival . holmes became the youngest nominee in history for wv filmmaker of the year .\nsee it . battle apocalypse is a film that reminds us why zombies can be so scary .\ndear ebonie , memory lane loved working with

all your amazing videos for the entire year we were engaged ? ! we first had the pleasure of meeting john sanchez at our friend tim and shannon\u2019s wedding . i was a groomsman at the time and saw how much passion john put into his work at the time . i knew if i ever got married i wanted someone to care about my wedding just as much . we wanted to book memory lane video because of the joy we got from watching clips of you filming other happy couples on the best day of their lives . we are so excited to relive our wedding day thanks to memory lane . we shopped other las vegas wedding videographers , but in the end there is no comparison in the style , quality , and passion that memory lane puts into creating amazing memories for their brides and grooms . we wanted a videographer that would capture the butterflies we had in our stomach and put them on film . the videographers at memory lane were very understanding and patient during our chaotic wedding reception and ceremony . they did their best to avoid taking us away from our family and friends , but found appropriate times to do so when needed . \u201d\nthough not necessarily horror , this is an unconventional movie

word of mouth .\ni need to establish a few things before i launch into my review of memory lane , mainly so i don\u2019t come off as a pissy , uncharitable asshole who never made a thing in his life , never mind a feature film for $ 300 . honestly , i think you\u2019ll understand and enjoy this review a little more if you indulge me .\ntuesday shawn holmes could tell that story to the entire nation as memory lane was released across the united states . the psychological thriller is about a veteran who travels between the real world and the afterlife in search of his fiance ' s killer .\never heard of memory lane ? probably not . it\u2019s a small film with big ideas that , as is the case with many small films , has become buried by a plethora of unoriginal and generic entertainment .

lane to be a part of our wedding as well . memory lane was the only company we were aware of that handled videography so we were prepared to engage memory lane even before we knew they were included in the bear\u2019s best package . \u201d explained the couple . what the couple most admired about memory lane , was the fact that the \u201cthe crew that covered our wedding were very down to earth and great to work with . my husband and i really enjoyed working with them . \u201d \u201cto describe the necessity of the video to future clients , i\u2019d say it is an absolute must have . i have not received the video or even preview of the wedding however everyone that was at the reception has asked constantly when the preview will be ready . they are asking us to host a release party when we get the video . to be able to capture the actual moments , the first kiss , the energy , the excitement in a video versus a still shot it just brings you back to the moment so you can re - live each scene play by play . \u201d genuinely describes the couple .\nwe were truly amazed at how hard memory lane worked the day of our wedding . the great lengths and effort to get the best shot or going for what would work best . not settling is admirable in their line of work . they worked long hours and were really easy to work with . i ( giselle ) was so comfortable with the team that sometimes i forgot they were even there ! you can tell that they are passionate about their job , which is truly inspiring . i highly recommend memory lane video !\n\u201cmemory lane is a great non -

official world premiere in london on may 6 , 2012 . from there , holmes took the movie to carne , then partnered up with melbourne - based monster pictures , taking the movie to australia and new zealand . american - based wild eye releasing caught wind of memory through the australian press grapevine , and memory lane landed back in the states after a four - year - long trip to parts of the world most of us only daydream about . all in all , the film has been released in more than seven countries and screened in more than 20 .\nthe sci - fi thriller , \u201cmemory lane\u201d , was

details and wonderful parts of the day that get away from you with all the stress . i am so happy to have their wonderful video to watch for years to come .\non march 24 , 2015 , memory lane was released on demand in more than 30 million american households with nearly every us cable provider , including comcast in the ohio valley . it\u2019s also available in dvd form in best buy , barnes and noble , fye and on amazon .\naccompanying shorts were made to go along with this film , both of which are available to watch , so i\u2019ve included them below . the first short , s\u00e9ance , serves as a prologue to the film and is mentioned in the movie .\nthe days before our wedding we were given a very clear timeline , so there was no questioning on the day of . john and other memory lane staff were there on time and followed the timeline strictly . my husband and i were very satisfied with their level of professionalism and quality .\nin the end , i think the script of memory lane is a little too complex for its own good . some rough bits of acting , shoddy sound , and choppy edits don\u2019t help make the story any more cohesive . so when we do find out more about this mystery , it\u2019s hard to care because the editing , sound , and acting have worked against it the whole movie through . still , the premise of memory lane is a winner , and i think the filmmakers have a much better movie in them having made this one . here\u2019s hoping for something a little more believable in terms of emotional investment between characters and a little more technically proficient for the next film from these guys .\ni won\u2019t try to discuss the final acts of the film because frankly they\u2019re so badly delivered they seem incomprehensible . given the leaps in logic the film has been slowly increasing however , it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise if the next one involved martians .\nextras : if you ' re thirsty for more , there are a lot of extras available on the dvd . the film can be played with director ' s commentary . there are nearly four minutes of deleted scenes . two short films can be viewed , totaling six minutes of footage . eight & a half minutes of promotional videos can be see , as well as screen tests for the film . lastly , there are six trailers : memory lane , desolate , everywhen , sweet leaf , the mothman curse , frankenstein ' s hungry dead .\nwhen discussing the necessity of video for a wedding , the couple stated , \u201c video is important because it captures the special moments and allows you to share them with loved ones who are near and far . attending the wedding was not possible for our grandparents , so having a video to share our special moments with them means a lot to us . we are looking forward to sharing our wedding film with them ! we researched companies within different price ranges . we chose memory lane for several reasons . memory lane had excellent reviews from their previous clients , we liked their style , and ricky was really cool . we wanted to have a good memory of our wedding day . it was important to us that we have a video that would capture us making our vows , throwing the garter / bouquet , cutting the cake , and capturing all of the dance performances . it was just as important for us to have a video that was creatively edited and fun to watch . memory lane video was also very professional and on time . we were so nervous but they made us feel at ease during the video interviews and were very helpful in answering our questions .\naicn horror looks at interior ! digging up

getting a modest distribution deal . its cheap looking rubbish that at least should give a great deal of hope to aspiring filmmakers everywhere .\nwow guys wow . . . i can ' t really explain in words how memory lane is . when i first met ricky , he gave us a smile and is very inviting . he is a highly professional individual as well as his team . when he first showed us some samples of memory lane ' s work , i was speechless and tears ran down my face . it ' s not even my wedding and tears came down my face . that ' s when it sealed the deal . i kid you not . . . if you are in the market of hiring a videographer . . . memory lane is the way to go . it feels like your whole wedding is a movie and it isn ' t boring to watch ! ! ! they provide high - quality video and keep in touch with you the moment you sign with them . since we are military , they are highly understandable of the military life and we are appreciative of that . . . truly . if i had to recommend to family or friends if they are having a wedding . . . i will not hesitate to say memory lane ! ! ! ! thank you , thank you , thank you . . .\nas for the future , holmes is in talks right now about developing a televised version of memory lane with legendary pictures and writing two other feature films that will be circulated upon completion . and even though he\u2019s been inevitably bitten by the la bug in all of this , he\u2019s still martins ferry at heart .\nin the summary on the back of the dvd case , it ' s stated that memory lane\nhas been compared to independent sci - fi classics pi , memento , and primer .\nlet me refute that . i ' m not a fan of pi , even though i usually enjoy darren aronofsky and can appreciate that the film exhibits some original content . this movie doesn ' t , instead relying heavily on our appreciation of those that have come before . as for memento , christopher nolan ' s mind - bending mystery is one of the best of its kind , a fascinating & forceful film that makes a lasting impact . that ' s not this film , not what you feel at the end , and any mystery in this story fails to draw you in like it should . lastly , primer was a near - perfect indie time - travel film , a story that gives audiences almost nothing , demands their constant attention , and leaves you wanting more . not so with memory lane , which in its short length quickly becomes confusing more than intriguing , difficult rather than enjoyable , and ultimately lackluster when what we thought we were getting was brilliance .\nit\u2019s really no major surprise that shawn holmes is the youngest nominee in history for the coveted west virginia film maker of the year .\nbelow is an exclusive spooky clip from infernal with a special message from director bryan coyne , followed by the trailer for the film .\nfor a relatively short time frame of approximately seventy minutes a lot of exposition , plot escalation and character development is harnessed . there is a great deal to process and in this case less is most certainly more . anything precariously close to the two hour mark would deem the film over extravagant and would tarnish the overall impact . director holmes does a smashing job of validating memory lane making the viewing experience maximized in best bang for your buck so to speak .\ni ' m currently developing a tv show version of memory lane with legendary pictures and then i just finished writing another feature film that i ' m exploring my options with ,\nsaid holmes .\ni ' m also starting to write another feature . i ' m going to try to just basically put as many sticks in the fire as possible and see which one producers and studios want to move forward with and just go from there .\n\u201cmy sister was married in 2011 and memory lane did a video for her and that was how we first learned about memory lane . since then and even before we had our venue selected we were already planning on having memory lane handle our wedding as well . you can imagine the excitement for us seeing that memory lane was part of the bear\u2019s best package . \u201d said the couple . now that the wedding is over . . \u201ci\u2019ve learned that my husband was right . initially i didn\u2019t want a wedding ceremony and i didn\u2019t want to fuss with the planning but in the end , i couldn\u2019t have been happier with everything . what was most important for the both of us was being married in a church . we both believe that having god in our marriage and in our lives is the foundation for a long and happy marriage . i can honestly say i didn\u2019t stress too much with the wedding . andy and i were able to stick to our budget and we both agreed on the same things . some couples have a disagreement on the guest list however we both agreed that we were not going to turn anyone away that wanted to be a part of our wedding day . we are simple and i feel our wedding was the perfect description of us , simple and elegant and easy . \u201c\ni see it as my duty , therefore , to offer a review of not the filmmakers , or the making of the film , nor of the trials and tribulations or tales of persistence that went into making it . i see it as my place to be quite possibly the only voice to review the film based on nothing more than the very film itself . and ( i just recently discovered that\u2019s its perfectly acceptable to start a sentence with a conjunction , so up yours grammar nazis ) i think the filmmakers would want me to respect the film not to judge it on extraneous and circumstantial elements , but on the merits of the finished film itself . with that out of the way :\na brilliant new feature - length documentary , memory lane has been produced , designed to educate people about tottenham hotspur\u2019s past and inspire young people about its future . all proceeds will be donated to the exposure charity . it\u2019s released at a time when the spiritual home of spurs faces demolition , making way for a

available through our online video distribution platform and our memory stick . our product is the result of the combination of several forms of therapies combined with modern interactive technology .\n. plus i check out a short film called restoration that debuted in chicago a while back and i just recently got my grubby mitts on .\nwe chose memory lane video not only because of the many recommendations from friends and our wedding planner , but because it was evident from the first time meeting that they were passionate and took pride in what they do . that kind of passion and pride continued to show in their during the wedding day and is obvious in the work they produce .\nunfortunately , our wedding day has come and gone . it was the best day of our lives , and we wish we could relive that moment over and over again . not only will memory lane video\u2019s capture amazing memories of that day , but more importantly we know they will capture the love we shared with our family , friends , and each other .\nwe can ' t speak highly enough about memory lane and our decision to book them for our destination las vegas wedding at the wynn las vegas & encore hotel ! we chose to them to document our special day because we wanted to work with a reputable and reliable company that would produce a quality film and deliver exactly what we wanted on the day of our wedding . on the day of the event , we most admired how omnipresent they were throughout the day . they were everywhere to capture every detail and moment with the day going according to schedule . there were many times we even forgot they were there because they made us feel so comfortable and blended in with everyone seamlessly . professionalism at its best . upon reviewing other companies , we chose memory lane because we knew we would not only receive top quality documentation of our day but also for an economical investment . in keeping our vision in mind , ricky and his staff were very accommodating , professional and could exceed our high expectations . knowing that we wanted a unique , detailed and creative video , this was the company to do just that . thank you so very much again memory lane

a space it opens\u2026\nwhether or not the film is any good remains to be seen , but by opting out of the independent festival scene and taking the film to a potentially unlimited audience online

wedding . the crew was so nice and talked us through what we needed to do ( mics ) before the ceremony . the video turned out great too . our venue package came with memorylane and we are so happy

future clients on why i think that video is important is that you forget the details . video helps you remember forever . i think people should book memory lane video\u2019s services because they capture the day two people unite perfectly . \u201d\nshawn holmes , a filmmaker who now resides in both martins ferry and los angeles , graduated from linsly and then moved to la to study film and television .\nthere isn ' t enough good things i can say about memory lane . from our first consult , we felt that there was absolutely no one else that we should use for video . ricky and john are both so passionate about their product , that it makes you feel so comfortable with working with them . the day of the videographers were practically invisible . the only time we noticed them was when they were doing interviews with us . they were super professional and so easy to work with ! the best part about memory lane is the way that they edit their videos . our wedding was so emotional , and the final product that we received captured the emotions and so much more . the music , the timing , and the footage that they pick for each part of the song and where it is placed is truly a talent that no amount of money can purchase . we have watched our video so many times since we received it , and every time we are filled with the same emotions that we shared on our wedding day . this was by far the best money we spent on our wedding . the memory that the video created from our day is truly indescribable . we cannot thank the entire memory lane team enough for what they were able to give us . it was the best day of our lives and we get to re - live it forever because of them .\nwe are currently considering strategic partners and funding options that will enable us to ( a ) more rapidly sell our core product to institutions ; ( b ) expand our video library ; and ( c ) execute on our vision for customized videos , localized for our global market . memory lane is scheduled to

similar so we decided to book with the best wedding videographers in town . \u201d says the couple .\nin 1935 germany played against england at white hart lane . however this was germany under the

best , always . cheers ! urltoken\nskip it . given the advertised content , i was hoping to enjoy this film at least a little more than i did . the story was more of a hook and less of a continuous attention - grabber , with plot points that faded away and action that never held my attention . there are better ptsd films , better indie sci - fi flicks , and much better acted low budget movies ; you should probably go find them . the video was bad , the sound was even worse , but there were a lot of extras on the dvd for those who are interested . i can ' t recommend memory lane , if only because better options are available and the film doesn ' t offer great original content . i can ' t say that my friends & i could produce something better , but then again , i wouldn ' t recommend that either .\nchoosing memory lane video for our wedding was a decision that i am so happy with ! they create such a great product . we chose them because we were impressed with the wedding video of our recently married friends , and knew we were in good hands ! we are so happy with our video , and were thankful they were there to capture our big day . from day 1 , both john and ricky have shown that they are very reliable and communicate very well .\nholmes is currently in california working on his next projects including working with the film company that has made many of nolan ' s films along with 300 , the new godzilla , and man of steel .\nthough not found footage , the hand held camera motif is just one of the ways writer / director zachary beckler makes his film interior bore into your brain and send all sorts of chill down your spine .\nas the film\u2019s narrator says , \u201cwe know what it means to be tottenham , \u201d in every sense of the phrase . i feel this as a young person , who is proud to be from tottenham .\ncast members of the film \u201camerican flyers\u201d are shown , from left , alexandra paul , luca bercovici and rae dawn chong at the interbike trade show at mandalay bay , thursday , sept . 22 , 2016 .\nthe decision to have a wedding videographer was easy , it was almost a necessity for my husband and i . we not only wanted to be able to look back on pictures , but we wanted to be able to relive moments of our wedding . our entire experience with memory lane video was a very positive one . ricky and john were very available and thoroughly communicated with us by telephone and email from months before our wedding to the day of . all of our questions were answered always , and they made it a point to get to know what it was exactly that we were expecting to get out of our wedding film . i must say all of our expectations were met above and beyond .\nin the year where encounters celebrates its 20th anniversary , we received a remarkable number of submissions taking insightful , problematic or downright nostalgic strolls down memory lane . a tribute to kurt cobain\u2019s death , the struggles of a family during the balkan conflict , the poetic retelling of a tragic mine accident , an unorthodox coming of age ritual in a remote boarding school and a fascinating look at post communist disillusionment are only some of the real or imaginary stories in this diverse programme reflecting on the bygone days .\nthe chase reaches its climax in an underground river , with phibes rowing his wife down a long corridor . though there was no second sequel , the film certainly leaves things open for one . the eccentric demeanor of phibes and the way price played him as using a machine to talk and eat with the price face merely a mask covering the acid scars is utterly unique , and it\u2019s a wonder this film hasn\u2019t been revisited . though i\u2019ve grown weary of burton / depp collaborations of the past , this is one film i think would be interesting for the director / actor combo more than any other i\u2019ve heard them attached to .\nthe best thing about this film is the sense of pride that tottenham hotspur fans had . i found it horrifying that tottenham and its football team have faced so much unneeded discrimination , from football rivalries to racism .\nsome films blast out of the gates with goodness , while others take the slow burn route . with patience being on the minimum these days , i\u2019m sure there might be a few of you who are likely to turn off a film midway if it\u2019s not ticking all the marks for you . me , i\u2019m more of the patient sort , especially when it comes to horror , and it\u2019s a good thing . had i been the type to walk away from a film because of a rather slow start i might have shuffled past a film like dead weight , but had i done so , i would have missed out on a true indie gem .\nchanneling the greats can often be a final nail in a coffin for a film if done incorrectly . but writer / director marc fratto knows how to handle the staccato back and forthings of a tarantino and bathe it in equally capable and comical grue found in early raimi films . hell fire is a rock solid film that is sure to entertain and is definitely deserving of a wider audience . this is devilishly good horror filmmaking at work here .\nfilms about ptsd and the cost of war are very popular right now . i ' ve watched four in as many months , each slightly worse than the one before . american sniper had the biggest budget by far , the biggest star , the biggest controversy , and the best results . next was fort bliss , a different take on a similar issue , a woman ' s view of coming back home to the\nnormal\nworld , and a mediocre film . on a more low - budget note was fray , a much more upsetting look at the debilitating trauma that affects our veterans . and now , memory lane , an indie darling that combines this common theme with a sci - fi element , and undoubtedly delivers the weakest results .\nplus they are sharing the first looks at some of the sculpts for the masks from the void and sending out a call for art for the upcoming the book of the void , which includes fan art inspired by the film .\nsuper cool , well acted and intense , this movie gets its european premiere at sci - fi - london film festival in may 2012 . said to have been made for just $ 300 it is a remarkable achievement and great story .\nif tottenham hotspur football club had moved , then perhaps less money would\u2019ve been given to the tottenham regeneration that is continuing and succeeding today . the film deals with this sensitively and , mostly importantly , portrays people\u2019s hopes for the future .\na chance to see the princess bride

a husband , wife who love each other madly and deeply and a friend who eventually falls in love with his friend\u2019s wife and how things take turn in the course of their lives . the songs are an all time favourite among the listeners even to this day .\nthe path breaking cinema in sandalwood directed and acted by dream merchant of sandalwood v ravichandran . slackly based on grease - 2 , the film is spun in an interesting way . with ravichandran and juhi chawla in the lead role , the movie had some mind numbing and foot tapping songs which are the favourites even to this day .\nthe movie emerged as a trend setting movie in the kannada industry . kannada romantic poetry abounds with references to mungaru male . it is season of tenderness and the season when love sprouts and this is what yogaraj bhat\u2019s mungaaru male precisely brings on screen . with a heart touching climax , the lead who tickles your funny bones throughout the movie makes you weep at the end of the story .\nis a love story - - a hugely successful one , what ' s more .\nis the story of the love of a husband and wife - - and therein lies the difference , for if the filmy norm is for screen marriage to put the full stop to screen romance , then in this film , the love story actually kicks off after suhasini mani rathnam ( making a comeback after matrimony , motherhood and the odd foray as film / television director ) and southside character actor sharath babu get married .\nthe film focusses on the warm moments - - told with touching tenderness - - that can exist within the cocoon of conjugal life . until , enter the thorn , in the form of ramesh arvind , playing babu ' s good friend . suhasini , in all innocence , develops a warm relationship with arvind , and along the way gets an inkling that he is rather broody in the mind . of course , women - - the celluloid variety , at least - - being rather naive creatures , she does not suspect that arvind , who has lost his girlfriend to death ' s embrace , is now holding a flaming torch for her .\nramesh at one point decides to get out of the happy couple ' s life - - only for the husband and wife to invite him to share a brief holiday they are planning in the hills of kodaikanal . temptation finally gets the better of him , and arvind kills babu in what looks like an accident .\nsharat babu , ramesh arvind and suhasini rathnam in amritavarshini . click here for bigger pic !\nsuhasini , shattered beyond belief , clutches at arvind for help and succour and arvind ' nobly ' agrees , helping her through the formalities surrounding sudden death , and then helping the grieving widow deal with her late husband ' s business interests .\nit begins to look like the perfect scenario for two bereaved hearts to forget past aches and embark on a fresh bid for happiness . but murder , they say , will somehow out , and suhasini finds a little clue that speaks volumes of arvind ' s involvement in the death of her husband .\nhow suhasini gets her revenge - - in a very original fashion - - forms the rest of the story .\nwhat appears in print to be a trite , thrice - told tale reveals , on celluloid , an ability to grip , to carry the viewer along on a tide of emotions ranging from the soft through the turbulent into the increasingly darker shades . and a lot of the credit goes to the three major performers , with suhasini showing no sign of rust from her layoff .\nwhat is interesting is the way the film - - by no means a whodunit , because you know right at the outset that arvind is the culprit - - keeps you nailed , your sympathies oscillating between arvind and suhasini till the very end .\ndirector dinesh babu , who has also handled the cinematography , says ,\ni ' ve used guilt as the main emotion - - with guilt itself becoming the ultimate punishment . in fact , i suggest that the guilt one carries is perhaps worse than being discovered and punished by law .\nand throughout the film , i ' ve used imagery from the epics . hanuman , the ultimate symbol of devotion , from the ramayan and aswathama , son of guru dronacharya , as symbol of ultimate evil , from the mahabharat .\ninterestingly , babu is more renowned for his cinematography - - curiously enough , not in telegu or kannada , but in malayalam . his recent credits as cinematographer include hit films from kerala like\nkannada is not that alien ,\nbabu says .\nactually , i was first asked to handle the camera , then the offer to direct fell in my lap and i figured , why not ?\nwe had the story years ago , but somehow , it got made only now ,\njaishree says .\nasked about the casting of suhasini considering her long layoff , jaishree says ,\nwell , the story needed a good , mature actress to play the part . suhasini was perfect for it and when she heard the role , she signed up immediately .\ninterestingly , the producer is also a full - fledged journalist with a telugu paper , specialising in in - depth interviews with achievers in various fields .\nespecially women ,\nshe grins .\nit is the most unlikely hit this season . it has no stars and doesn ' t follow the standard sex - and - violence formula that the 100 - odd films churned out every year by the kannada film industry subscribe to .\nyet within two months of its release , nagathihalli chandrashekhar ' s america ! america ! has earned rs 1 . 10 crore , an amount usually raked in only by mega - starrers . what ' s more , it has bagged for its director the national award for the best kannada film . and along the way , the film - costing rs 2 crore and shot mostly in the us - has demolished several kannada film - making myths . america ! america ! is about the identity crisis faced by indians settled abroad . it is kannada cinema ' s first major attempt to study the psyche of non - resident indians . the plot is simple enough : three friends , shashank , surya and bhumika , study in a village school in coastal karnataka .\nshashank goes to the us to study , promising to return some day , but changes his mind after he gets a job . on a vacation to india , surya and bhumika are dismayed about the way shashank has changed , but bhumika ends up marrying him all the same , unaware that surya is madly in love with her . back in america , shashank gets into the rat race and alienates his wife .\nchandrashekhar , who also wrote the script , takes a hard look at indians who live abroad and lose their cultural moorings . he touches upon the clash of western values with indian culture . the film , being dubbed in hindi , tamil and telugu , comes in the wake of the commercial success of other ' clean ' hits like dinesh babu ' s amruthavarshini ( a story of unrequited love ) and sunil kumar desai ' s nammoora mandare hoove ( the mandara flower from our village ; a love triangle ) and beladingala bale ( daughter of the moonlight ; story of a chess player who falls in love with the voice of a woman prompting his moves on telephone . ) .\nsays film critic and censor board member v . n . subba rao :\noffbeat kannada cinema is virtually dead and commercial formula films have lost their appeal . bridge cinema , combining both commercial and offbeat elements , is what is drawing audiences back to the big screen .\nthe success of these films has given young filmmakers like umakanth , kesari haravu , s . narayan and n . s . shankar an impetus to experiment with a clutch of new themes that try and break the formula mould . the success of america ! america ! comes at a time when the media has been highlighting the nexus between the underworld and the kannada film industry following the murder of producer chidambara setty in march . setty was allegedly killed by underworld financers for not paying his debts on time . as the film - going audience shrinks , traditional financers are increasingly reluctant to risk their money in uncertain ventures , leaving the field open to criminals with cash to spare .\nfor chandrashekhar too , financing his film was not easy . this , despite the fact that his last film , kotreshi kanasu ( kotreshi ' s dream ; a dalit boy ' s hopes of an english education ) , also got a national award for the best regional film . says chandrashekhar :\nit is still very hard to find a producer for a clean story .\neven after he found a producer in s . nandakumar , chandrashekhar ' s troubles were far from over : his application for a us visa was rejected and he had to hire a hollywood lawyer . moreover , the hollywood technicians ' association objected to his bringing in an indian team and equipment . after a legal battle , costing $ 4 , 000 in fees , chandrashekhar ' s team finally made it to the us last summer and shot extensively for over two months . america ! america ! has brought the upper middle -

sound\u201d images . in addition , american mystic will present a group of shimmering photographs of kentucky\u2019s red river gorge , which were featured in the 1971 book the unforeseen wilderness , accompanied by text by his friend wendell berry .\nanother episode has a monstrous wolf attacking ranches . molder suspects that a native american is shape shifting but it turns out to be a subversion .\nhas had two named native american characters throughout its run , both of whom possessed stands ( psychic powers formed from the person ' s spirit ) .\nin the stand alone novel sacred ground , the main character has magical powers explicitly because she ' s a native american shaman -

1 switch into the volume knob ensures the american elite tele looks and functions just like your favorite teles from the past .\nok , i am basically a fender guy , a strat here or there and a thinline tele . the mystic black is much different than the way it looks in the pics . very deep color with sparkle , beautiful . the neck is very comfortable . this is a great guitar . and as usual , brendan did a great job .\ndave ' s abduction is an act of inexplicable , almost metaphysical evil , and this story of guilt , grief and vengeance grows out of it like a mass of dark weeds . at its starkest , the film , like the novel by dennis lehane on which it is based , is a parable of incurable trauma , in which violence begets more violence and the primal violation of innocence can never be set right . ' ' mystic river ' ' is the rare american movie that aspires to - - and achieves - - the full weight and darkness of tragedy .\nfender ' s american elite telecaster solidbody electric guitar is a great instrument for pickers who love the classic platform but need a wider palette of tones . you ' ll get the familiar twang and cut teles are known for , but without the 60 - cycle hum , thanks to a pair of 4th - generation fender noiseless single - coil pickups . an s - 1 switch adds new pickup voicings to the american elite tele . and features such as a 9 . 5\n\u201314\ncompound - radius fretboard make these guitars effortless to play . the fender american elite telecaster is the future of one of history ' s most popular workhorse guitars .\nit is in many ways eastwood ' s tightest movie for some time , and certainly his darkest since unforgiven ; indeed , the ending offers as corrosive an assessment of the limits of american justice as anything in his career .\na runaway young man in beasts of burden can understand and speak animal . the only reason he gives is that his\npeople\ndo that too , and given his tattoos and explanations about them , he ' s native american .\n, played by famous native american actor ned romero . he ' s a local college professor of agriculture who at times tells of what his ancestors taught him and plays up the role , but then averts it , usually with snark .\nthe elves in elf quest are arguably modeled on native americans and are literally magical . the elves are a varied bunch , and none of them are strict fantasy counterpart cultures . the sun folk seem vaguely native american ( maybe central american ) , and the go backs clearly show some eskimo / inuit traits . the wolfriders seem a little more like european myths of forest - dwelling elves , and they ' re certainly drawn to look european . the gliders are kind of unclassifiable .\nan episode of so weird takes place on a reservation and includes a tale of the coyote spirit who helps those lost in the woods . at the end of the episode , the coyote turns into the native american who told the story .\nsee the episode where lois loses the car to corrupt native american casino owners . they realize they are being jerks , give the car back and wonder what the hell is wrong with them . the fact they are very rich is a comfort .\nwhile averted in one must fall : 2097 in that raven , the ( apparently ) native american character is a purely urban kickboxer and bodyguard to the big boss , he seems to somehow have become a magical native american by the sequel game , appearing as the boss of the first tournament with his now - well - known mystical defensive power . . . which also protects the robot he ' s remotely piloting ( omf doesn ' t do flesh - and - blood combat ) . ookay .\nthis gives several types of spiritual paths & the people who who are living them . sadly , the\nwitch\npath , the magical path is portrayed is the only one where you glimpse the\nmystical freedom\nand someone living it . the other examples were not as certain in their ultimate outcome . being a mystic is a vocation of total surrender to love . it is a calling . those shone were trying , but need a spiritual mentor for direction . i recommend those who are interested in\namerican mystics\nto watch this & see what you think of the examples presented . but it is not satisfying as it could have been .\nin 1970 , a young musician walked away from the american dream of rock ' n ' roll stardom . he sold all his possessions and moved from the suburbs of new york to the foothills of the himalayas in search of happiness and a little - known saint .\nin the 60s , dc had a short lived comic about prez rickard , the first teen president . prez ' s longstanding friend , companion and fbi head was eagle free , a native american who continually dressed the part and was surrounded by a group of animals .\naquaman archnemesis ocean master was both half - native american and an evil sorcerer in the post - crisis continuity , yet subverts the trope\u2014his magic powers come not from his native heritage , but from having sold his soul to the ( very christian ) demon lord neron .\nunsun has signed a worldwide deal with mystic production ( home label of behemoth and riverside , among others ) . the band , who released their debut album ,\nthe end of life\nin september 2008 via century media records , has entered studio this spring to record sophomore album . vocal tracks were recorded in studio x in olsztyn and soon after unsun moved to hertz studio ( behemoth , vader , decapitated ) to record all instruments .\nas with most murder mysteries , the densely woven narrative of ' ' mystic river ' ' is a skein of coincidences and somewhat implausible connections . what gives the movie its extraordinary intensity of feeling is the way mr . eastwood grounds the conventions of pulp opera in an unvarnished , thickly inhabited reality . there are scenes that swell with almost unbearable feeling , and the director ' s ambitions are enormous , but the movie almost entirely avoids melodrama or grandiosity .\nin deadlands , native americans and those who have been welcomed into their tribes are the only characters eligible for guardian spirits or leaning rituals and favors from the spirits , at least in the american west . ( oddly enough , native americans who had been raised by white people could not learn these things unless they became a tribe ' s blood brother later in life , which makes it sound like your\nmagical native american\n- ness can be revoked ; as it ' s a function of religion , not birthright , this is probably intentional . )\nthe tribes and spiritual motifs continue in the successor game , werewolf the forsaken , but the native american themes are downplayed . furthermore , the werewolves in this game aren ' t so much protectors of the spirit world as they are protectors of humanity from a rapacious spirit world .\nthis was a major disappointment . i was so excited to be following three american mystics , however , i couldn ' t get through half of the documentary because it focused on things unrelated to the purpose of this film , and i had a hard time finding these people noteworthy .\nin the california voodoo game , black elk is the army team ' s principal spell - caster , and his magic - user / cleric character is patterned on his native american heritage . outside the game , he ' s just an ordinary mid - 21st - century military man .\nin the buffy the vampire slayer thanksgiving episode\npangs\n, buffy faces a native american vengeance spirit who can shapeshift , and summon ghostly native american warriors . arguably this is an aversion / subversion / deconstruction . magic is hardly limited to native americans in the buffyverse , and this trope is sort of examined\u2014willow feels sympathetic to the spirit since it ' s avenging legitimate wrongs , while everyone else points out that , you know , it ' s still a murderous vengeance spirit that kills people and gave xander magical syphilis . they wind up destroying it at the end .\nbut mr . penn , as gifted and disciplined as any of his precursors , makes them all look like , well , actors . he has purged his work of any trace of theatricality or showmanship while retaining all the directness and force that their applications of the method brought into american movies .\nwhateley academy , who actually possesses the spirit of the first shaman . as a subversion , there ' s also a superpowered mutant native american at the school who isn ' t magical : skinwalker has the power to possess people and take over their bodies , but isn ' t a shaman .\nwerewolf wasn ' t the only game in the old world of darkness to work the native american motifs . mage the ascension had the dreamspeakers , a mystical tradition made up of shamans of all types ( aborigines , native americans , african bushmen , even modern technoshamans ) who showed a mastery over the spirit world . changeling the dreaming had the nunnehi , changelings who took after native american myths the same way the kithain took after european ( and african ) myths , and whose relationship with the kithain ranged from\nfriendly , but keep your distance\nto\nfucking white man .\nthe wolves tribe of digital devil saga wear stereotypical native - american clothes , can shape shift , use magic , are big on honor , and have unwavering loyalty to their leader . the last two can be excused by all but one person in the game world doing it as well however .\ndharma and greg has an old native american who shows up to die in their apartment building because it was built over an ancient burial mound . he returns in at least one later episode as a ghost / spirit guide - or possibly a dream . it ' s up to the viewer to decide .\na recent acquisition by the library has links to both the local area and our own collections . the document pictured below , a mediterranean passport , pertains to the ship orris of new york in 1809 . the orris was built in old mystic with christopher leeds as the master carpenter . she measured 249 tons and was 87 feet in length . the signature at the bottom right belongs to the collector of the port of new york , david gelston , whose digitized collection of papers is in our library .\naverted in mans favorite sport , john screaming eagle talks in stereotypical indian talk , hinting that he knows things only indians know , until he ' s found out , then he becomes a normal american man in speech and ' knowledge ' , and willingness to help out his fellow man - for a price .\nparodied in ntsfsdsuv . alphonse bearwalker is an alaskan african - american / inuit , which , according to him , is why he can telepathically communicate with his dog . his father alonzo is ridiculously spiritual , claiming that he can read trees like books ( and furthermore that they ' re better than real books anyway ) .\na searching and respectful inquiry into the\nother ways\nof american spirituality , far outside of the familiar mainstream : the lakota sun dance , modern - day spiritualism , and the pagan revival . this beautifully photographed documentary poetically conveys the hope and desperation of people turning away from consumer culture in an impassioned pursuit of meaning .\na few episodes of roswell feature an elderly native american called river dog , who leads a ceremony in a smoke hut that allows him to identify the alien present . he also knows how to heal said alien when the ritual makes him sick . in all fairness , he learned this from the last alien who showed up .\nthe metaplot for shadowrun has native americans as the first to use magic properly after the awakening , with the reasoning being that they never really left it behind in the first place . the circumstances around this are less pleasant than it sounds , as most of the native american population were rounded up into prison camps after protesting their land being seized by the us government on behalf of the nascent mega corps . their magical talent manifested a year later and provided them a much needed edge in escaping and in the brief war that followed , and resulted in the fracturing of the us and canada , and the emergence of the native american nations as regional powers .\nromeo in no songs for the dead is native american , and inherited his magical powers due to his father being a messenger of the primordial , an entity who is also the source of black magic . he does not wear any of the stereotypical clothing or any warpaint , though he does go around bare - chested most of the time .\nnative american man : you white boys are all the same . i ' ve got dark skin , so i must dance with the bears and listen to the spirit of the wind ! i got news for you , pal : i work for a living , i ' m a baptist and i ' m proud of it ! oh , and by the way , i have only one word for snow . . . snow !\nfender has been known for their iconic neck profiles since the beginning . the american elite telecaster continues the tradition with a comfortable contour that ' s not too thin or wide . the 9 . 5\n\u201314\ncompound fretboard radius ensures comfort while chording , and it flattens out up high for unimpeded string bending and vibrato . and the neck ' s rolled fretboard edges feel like a well - worn guitar as soon as you open the case .\nkublai is studying to be a medium and healer in the spiritualist church . chuck is a young lakota man whose family has reclaimed traditional lakota ways . morpheus is a priestess and teacher in the american - founded feri witchcraft tradition . the director does not give us an in - depth , scholarly introduction to their beliefs but instead invites us to sit with them companionably . we visit with these three people and experience their energy , their passion and their yearning .\ncharles delint has an entire collection of novels and short stories of urban fantasy based on the idea that the various native american spirits ( coyote , raven , etc ) are still around and active in people ' s lives , particularly in one town . further , once you encounter one of these individuals , their magic is\ncontagious ,\nand you will almost certainly encounter more and become more aware of the magic surrounding everyday life than you probably wanted to be .\nsubverted in the plot of the mystery science theater 3000 - mocked film puma man . an aztec gives the hero a magic belt that gives him all the powers of a puma , including flying . subverted because the actual native american is a badass normal and the\nmagic\nis alien super - technology . despite having the belt and super - powers , the hero stays only one notch above utter coward , while his aztec sidekick does all the work of actually defeating the bad guy .\nin prey 2006 , aliens start their invasion of the earth with a reservation and the main character ends up using spirit magic to fight them off . the main character ' s grandpa fits the bill better , though . before getting abducted , the hero thought all that stuff was just so much eyewash . the\n( frequently native american ) character who thinks all that stuff is hoohah but has to take on his grandfather ' s shamanic mantle\nis a trope in its own right .\nfollowing the release of the film , mar continued to study american witchcraft . she published the book witches in america , both praised by the press and criticized by the pagan community . her trips into the communities and inner lives of fringe religious practitioners pose real questions about the nature of belief , and she takes these questions seriously . her work seems to be motivated by genuine curiosity and empathy and is not contrived , too rare for recent religion docs . mar will appear at the screening .\nin the elder scrolls , as seen in morrowind ' s bloodmoon expansion and skyrim ' s dragonborn dlc , the noble savage skaal people of the frozen , inhospitable island of solstheim . they have much in common culturally with various native american and inuit tribes , including their speech patterns . their magic is of a shamanic / druidic nature as well . they live in harmony with nature , making sure to never waste by , for example , needlessly killing for sport or chopping down live trees for firewood .\nin the dcu , silver deer , an erstwhile firestorm villain from the cherokee nation , used magical shapeshifting abilities . she even\nenlisted\na former firestorm adversary , black bison , to help her scheme . she also had luck powers . as christopher bird said ,\nher powers are turning into spirit animals and super - gambling skills . if her weakness turned out to be liquor , how wrong would that be ?\nthe black bison is himself a native american with an impressive command of magic .\nin the old world of darkness game werewolf the apocalypse , the garou follow a tribal structure , with two of the tribes , the uktena ( exploratory mystics ) and the wendigo ( warriors who still weren ' t over colonization ) being native american . then again , the game also had tribes of urban primitives , amazons , irish warrior - poets , and egyptian travelers , so it was a bit of a grab bag . also , werewolves gained their particular form of magic , gifts , by making deals with spirits .\nmar ' s film is lyrical , drenched in a purely american atmosphere of rural and rustic wonders and meditations . her directorial hand is , at most , subtle ; she gives the utmost regard for her subject ' s extracted lifestyle , but nothing feels forced or generally shaped to fit an agenda . it is not uniformly informative either , opting out of any talking heads or experts chiming in or rounding out the faith ' s histories or current climates . all we know is from what we witness in these quietly unfolding tales .\nonboard the american elite telecaster is a duo of fender ' s 4th - generation noiseless single - coil pickups . these improved designs deliver the telecaster ' s familiar punch and twang , but the noiseless circuitry eliminates unwanted signal noise and hum , making the guitar ideal for live performance and touring . the s - 1 switch \u2014 embedded in the volume knob \u2014 adds new pickup combinations for additional tele tones . and the alder , maple , and rosewood construction is a tried - and - true combination that has proven itself for decades .\ntoyed with in the wonderfalls episode\ntotem mole .\nit is subverted through most of the episode , when jaye tries to force the utterly unremarkable accountant grandson of a tribe ' s recently - deceased medicine woman into his grandmother ' s former role , though every\ntest\nhe undergoes signifies that jaye herself is the rightful successor . in the end , however , the brilliant native american trial lawyer ( who serves as an antagonist through most of the episode ) experiences a heat exhaustion - fueled vision of the medicine woman and becomes her tribe ' s new spiritual leader .\nwhen the revenge western seraphim falls veers into magic realism in the third act , a native american man played by wes studi appears to each of the two main characters by a water hole in the middle of a barren desert . he trades pierce brosnan ' s character some water for the horse that brosnan had stolen from liam neeson , then gives neeson the horse for free . when neeson gives him money anyway , he discards the coins . his name is listed as charon in the credits , and the film suggests that he ' s a demon who is engineering a final confrontation between the two nemeses .\nthe simpsons had an episode where bart is shown his somewhat unpleasant future ( as a drunken , washed - up rock star living with ralph wiggum ) by the head of a native american casino after he tries to sneak into the casino in the great gabbo ' s dummy case . at first , this is a double subversion : when they meet , bart is very surprised that the casino owner knows his name and thinks he ' s this trope , before revealing he knows it because homer put bart down as collateral while taking out a second mortgage on the house . he then reveals he really is this trope .\ni have been playing guitar for well over 40 years and have been a longer owner of fender products . i owned and traded in a 2016 american standard telecaster which quite frankly i never liked playing . it just didn ' t have a good feel to it . i sold it to buy the elite and to put it simply , this is the best quality fender i have ever played . the feel is quality and comfortable . the action and intonation out of the box , exceptional . the playability and sound is outstanding . these points coupled with sweetwater ' s service has made the decision a very good one .\nin the swedish ios / android game last hope td , you control a native american tribe fighting zombies with bows , spears , axes and the occasional magical help from nature spirits . while the initial heroes of your tribe are an indian princess and a brave , you can do an iap to get a caucasian ultra - tech sniper and engineer . the more palatable part of this game ( besides having native americans as the main heroes ) is that your tribe are engineering geniuses with access to high tech and magic so while their first turrets are basically automated crossbows , you will fairly quickly be researching machine guns , cannons and golems for turrets .\nsubverted somewhat in an episode of bones . the investigative team is being introduced to a case by a small - town sheriff who mentions the remains were found by a native american who will be assisting in the investigation . when someone asks if he ' s a\nindian tracker\nthe sheriff remarks sarcastically that since the man is a park ranger and found the remains in the course of his normal duties he\ndidn ' t have to use any of his indian powers .\nlater on that same sheriff asks the ranger if an apparent indian ritual site is legitimate , to which he replies ,\nwhat am i , a shaman ?\nmainline 40k also has the native american - themed space marine chapter known as the raven guard . it can be a bit hard to tell by looking at them as a genetic mutation results in them having albinistic skin . it does give a striking look in combination with their inky tribal facepaint , though . there ' s also the space marine chapter known as the rainbow warriors . the name is inspired by what is usually claimed to be an indian myth ( usually identified as either hopi or cree ) , but was in fact invented wholesale by two evangelical christians in 1962 , and was , if anything , a bald - faced attack at indian belief systems .\nwar of the worlds featured an episode set on a native american reservation , complete with shaman , who uses magical powers ( assisted by what may be an alien artifact ) to destroy an alien ship . he also manages , depending on your interpretation of the final scene , to play into a much older and more offensive stereotype about native americans as dishonest traders , as he gives blackwood the alien crystal he had used in his\nmagic\n, but then later reveals to his son that he ' d actually substituted a different crystal for no clear reason . ( the scene is not entirely clear on this point ; it may actually be that he had several identical crystals ) .\nshe hulk ' s native american boyfriend wyatt wyngfoot turns out to have a rich magical heritage . initially just human torch ' s muggle buddy from college ( a great athlete at the school , he was an expy of famed olympic athlete jim thorpe ) , he had no magic powers . he claimed to be good with dogs but couldn ' t handle lockjaw . on the other hand , this trope was averted by scalphunter and harpoon , two members of the marauders , opponents of the x - men . neither one did anything magical , one being a technology - builder and the other being able to charge things with explosive energy , and like the rest of the marauders were evil .\nin december 2006 , as part of the very last gimmick he performed before mysteriously disappearing from wwe , tatanka , enraged at having supposedly been repeatedly cheated out of in - ring victories by biased officials , tapped deep into his native american psyche and gained access to a\nvengeful warrior\npersona that induced him to paint his face white and draw a black horizontal band over his eyes , and to talk in a dark , angry , mystical manner . he had only two matches in wwe after that , but the first match was a draw and the second resulted in a victory for him ( his first victory in many weeks ) , suggesting that he somehow drew on supernatural power to win his final match .\ntonto has elements of this in the lone ranger , especially in his manner of dress and during his plot exposition . subverted later on when john meets the rest of the comanche , who inform him that tonto is insane and the native american myths that he ' s been reciting throughout the film are just that , simply myths . ( even so , there ' s something . . . off about tonto . he seems to know when\nnature is out of balance\njust from observing animal behavior . then there ' s that spooky makeup on his face that makes him look like a paleolithic street mime , and that never comes off ( even when he ' s underwater ! ) until he decides to take it off .\nonken said of the victory , \u201ci am proud of the skill the american ethanol team displayed at the gloc shootout . we have had an excellent run of success out on the water lately , and we\u2019re looking forward to what we can do next month at the lake of the ozarks shootout . i have been involved in the agriculture and recycling business for decades , so i know how important ethanol is to the farming community , and how important it is to all americans . it\u2019s a clean - burning fuel , so it\u2019s good for the environment , and , as evidenced by how our boat has performed , it clearly has potent engine performance benefits . ethanol is a fuel that delivers power , performance , clean air , and savings\u2014it\u2019s the smart choice for people everywhere . \u201d\nin the ravenloft campaign , the nightmare lands are home to the abber nomads , primitive humans who have a culture and general appearance similar to north american tribes . ( their language is described as\nabsolutely unique\nand unlike\nany tongue spoken by any other race in any known land\n, hinting that they may have origins with actual native americans , like the inhabitants of odiarre , whose language is described the same way , as it is gothic earth ' s equivalent of italian . ) while they can ' t outright use magic ( unless they gain levels as druids , and some do ) living in the nightmare lands have made their minds tough enough to withstand a place that tends to drive visitors insane ; they don ' t dream , and can distinguish illusion from reality with ease . ( one source gives a flat 25 % chance of such magics failing against them , while other sources say it depends on several factors . )\nthe two main characters of dead man play around with this a bit . the first , nobody , is a native american but there really isn ' t that much mystical about him other than the fact that he ' s an indian who hasn ' t been westernized ( despite spending time in england ) . william blake on the other hand is a fairly normal white guy until he ' s shot . he becomes more and more mystical seeming as the bullet works its way closer and closer to his heart , or at least nobody ' s view of him does . the trope is played fairly straight in that nobody believes his companion to be that william blake , somehow returned to the world in an almost messianic capacity ( in the original meaning , at least ) :\nyou were a poet and a painter , and now you are a killer of white men !\nthen he makes it his personal mission to help blake in his journey to the spirit world\u2014\nthe place where william blake is from .\nthe story of chuck particularly impressed me . i am vaguely aware that there are first nations people who are trying to reclaim their own lost traditions , some whose traditions are as lost and murky as native european traditions . to actually hear someone speak of going back to those traditions and claim them as their birthright generations after they were outlawed and uncommon in communities long converted to abrahamic faiths is truly inspirational . his connection to his family and community gives me hope . i felt honored that he shared his story with us through this film .\nkublai is the person i felt i had the most in common with . he is the youngest person featured and his searching and hunger for spiritual depth and connection reminds me of the teenager i was , and the spark of yearning that still lives within me . while i felt disconnected from his values and some of his statements , i had a lot of compassion for his yearning . yearning for something better , higher , more authentic in young people is something to encourage and support .\nget the latest from patheos by signing up for our newsletters . try our 3 most popular , or select from our huge collection of unique and thought - provoking newsletters .\nfrom time to time you will also receive special offers from our partners that help us make this content free for you . you can opt out of these offers at any time .\n, test screenings , filming guns in washington d . c . and the trump administration\nback to one podcast : keith poulson on developing as an actor in the ny indie film scene .\nclick here to read our summer 2018 issue , featuring interviews with madeline ' s madeline director josephine decker , david leitner on the new cameras of 2018 , our overview of film schools and more . . .\nmar\u2019s feature debut avoids talking heads and exposition in favor of wide landscapes and careful compositions that were designed to observe these lives , not explain them .\nmar : from the very beginning of casting to now it took about two and half years . we were shooting in a very strategic way ; it was not a typical verite approach . two and a half years ago , i was still working in journalism and tv , and i started the process of traveling around the country , kind of surreptitiously , trying to find the cast for the film . midway through casting i left my job and started living full - time with different communities and traveling to different parts of the country . i was in tennessee , and then crazy parts of california , in rural alabama , i was all over the map .\nfilmmaker : it\u2019s interesting that you had the idea before you started casting . what did you set out to look for ? what was the initial idea ?"]}

here ' s the plot :\nthe lives of a girl , an elderly woman and a young man intersect and forces each of them to find their place in the world .\nalzheimer ' s disease radically interferes with a person ' s life . scientists and health care professionals have done much to gather information and to offer support .\nhollywood has responded as well . filmmakers have already portrayed alzheimer ' s disease or other causes for dementia * in a number of films in this century . [ see this post about the terminology change favoring neurocognitive disorder over dementia . ]\nhere are summaries and links to trailers for some of the films i ' ve found with a list of the others at the end of this post .\n, but some of the behaviors and symptoms are similar , so the film depictions may help family members process their feelings nonetheless .\nmost of the films below are feature films and not documentaries . i ' m trying to emphasize the contribution that artists make to better responding to the challenges and opportunities presented by dementia . nevertheless , documentaries also require a view from the humanities more than from the sciences , so i have a few in the mix .\ni found all of these films on netflix ( except the first one , still in theaters ) .\nian mckellen plays sherlock holmes as a man who lived beyond the pages of the stories . set in 1947 , the film finds the detective retired and reviewing his last case from 30 years prior . watch him use every trick for improving his failing memory and every device for uncovering clues . can this world - famous detective revise his legacy in time to transmit it to the rising generation ?\nshows a university professor and her family adjusting to her diagnosis and clinical symptoms of early onset alzheimer ' s disease . the theme of identity through work threatening identity through relationships is strong .\nnicolas cage stars as evan lake , a cia agent who receives a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia ( ftd ) . he has an old score to settle , but the angry outburst of ftd cost him his job . he goes rogue and vows to do his best to bring a foe to justice - - despite increasing problems with his memory .\na documentary that depicts campbell ' s life with alzheimer ' s disease ( ad ) from the time of his diagnosis through his farewell tour . the docu shows his family and entourage showing him a lot of support while interspersing footage of his life and career in music , film and television . several musicians comment on his talent and explain how ad has affected their family , too .\nthis documentary shows footage of persons with dementia responding well to music . however , this work is contexualized by interviews with dan cohen , founder of music and memory as well as interviews with caregivers , health care providers , dementia advocates and scientists . trailer .\n. james cromwell stars as a man in his 80s who is focused on building an appropriate home for his wife of 63 years ( played by genevieve bujold ) . she is experiencing memory problems that grow more severe . he not only has to battle his aging body but the local building inspector , his opinionated neighbor and his well - meaning but patronizing adult children .\nretired jewel thief frank ( played by frank langella ) lives by himself and is having a few memory issues . his son brings him an electronic personal assistant - - a\n. soon frank figures out a way to have the robot help him return to his old ways - - but not without complications .\nthis animated film shows newcomer emilio ( voiced by martin sheen in the english version ) learning how to adapt to life in a multi - level care center by his more acclimated roommate miguel ( voiced by george coe ) . both find it challenging to preserve their autonomy in the situation , and both try to figure out how to respond to emilio ' s advancing alzheimer ' s disease .\na short film starring elliot gould about two adult children trying to convince their aging parents to leave their home in order to move into assisted living . based on the director ' s experience with his own parents and filmed in his parents ' home . trailer .\nwith these films . yes , the film depicts caregiving challenges . but i excluded it because the wife had a series of strokes that resulted in mobility problems and aphasia . the film doesn ' t depict or discuss memory problems . ( and , i loathed the film , so\nthis film from iran doesn ' t use alzheimer ' s as the central conflict , but it plays a significant role . a couple is separating and considering a divorce . the husband ' s father has alzheimer ' s and requires a caregiver . the adult son hires a woman caregiver , setting of a series of conflicts that grow more and more complex as the film progresses .\n) in her final years . thatcher ( played by meryl streep ) reminisces about her past through conversations with her beloved late husband denis ( played by jim broadbent ) .\na french film featuring an ensemble cast of seasoned actors ( including american actresses jane fonda and geraldine chaplin ) . when health and memory problems plague a few of the members , they decide to live together - - then complexities emerge .\nwinner of best screenplay at the cannes for its year , this film from s . korea dwells very little on the character ' s new diagnosis of alzheimer ' s . the conflict focuses more on the misdeeds of her grandson . however , she has compounding limitations when trying to marshal resources in response . i have a feeling that the diagnosis contributed to the film ' s ending , but it ' s only implied .\nonly about the last 30 minutes of this 134 minute film depicts the main character living with dementia . the bulk of the movie is a life review of a jewish canadian television producer who has many flaws but somehow remains lovable .\nor for viewing on a 3 dvd set . the episodes include footage of several family members as they address a loved one ' s trajectory through ad .\nartist robert malone ( played by martin landau ) meets a lovely woman his age named mary ( played by ellen burstyn ) for the first half of the film , you watch him stumble through asking her on some dates and meeting her family . as the film progresses , you learn that alzheimer ' s disease threatens the relationship and causes chaos for them both .\nmatthew broderick stars as cooper , a young newspaper editor who recently suffered a concussion at the hands of a co - worker . he ' s still having trouble regaining his memory when his mother asks him to come home from chicago to southern illinois to help manage his alzheimer ' s disease - stricken uncle , played by alan alda .\nlaura linney and philip seymour hoffman star as siblings wendy and jon who reconnect with their father when he starts having serious memory problems . jon quickly concludes that they can ' t care for him themselves , but wendy is ambivalent . they film focuses on the adult children ' s response with very little screen time for the father .\nshows how isolating alzheimer ' s disease can be for the caregiving spouse . in early stages of the disease , the person with the diagnosis usually struggles much with anxiety and depression . in late stage , it ' s the spouse who struggles more to relate to a person who no longer remembers them .\ndonald sutherland plays a supporting role as a grandfather with parkinson ' s disease and a growing case of dementia . his increased dependency presents challenges for his wife , his grandson but primarily for himself as he struggles with depression and suicidal ideation . the film ' s point of view is the nephew ' s .\nthe frame - tale of this film shows a mature woman in an assisted - living center receiving a visitor who tells her stories from decades prior . the bulk of the film consists of flashbacks about a young couple in their teens / twenties . but the ending brings alzheimer ' s to the foreground , but only for a few minutes .\nthis pbs documentary is based on david shank ' s 1999 book of the same name . the television program contains interviews of three families about the impact of alzheimer ' s disease on the person affected as well as the family relationships . david hyde pierce leads a town hall type discussion in the last 30 minutes of this 90 minute program .\nthis dutch - language film focuses more on the thrill of the chase than on dementia . two police officers are trying to capture a hit man who is suffering from dementia . the criminal ' s memory problems only affect a couple of scenes , and it ' s not a realistic depiction of alzheimer ' s disease . but it ' s fun to see the 57 year old actor playing the lead .\n, the film spans decades , so it ' s not solely about the way alzheimer ' s disease changed their relationship . wonderful performances by kate winslet as the younger iris , judi dench as the mature iris , and jim broadbent as the mature john bayley .\na swedish film with subtitles about a composer and violinist who marry later in life . a few years into their marriage , he is diagnosed with alzheimer ' s disease . the film shows his progression from early stage through mid - stage to late stage dementia and the wive ' s struggle to keep her marriage vows as he moves further and further away from her .\nthis japanese coming - of - age film focuses on a 17 - year - old girl whose parents ' poor behavior rattles her , but she meets an older woman who is living with dementia . the teen is strengthened by forging a friendship with the mature woman and hearing her talk about her adventures in the 1940s .\nhume cronyn stars as john cooper the anti - hero in this play - turned - film about a widower pushing back hard against the realities of aging . he lives in an assisted living center where he jokes around with his best friend michael aylott ( vincent gardenia ) . over a series of a few weeks , marked by sunday visits by his daughter , cooper ' s tenacious grip on life starts to loosen .\n. robert young stars as roswell gilbert , a 75 year old man who shoots his wife emily of 51 years because she is suffering from osteoporosis and alzheimer ' s disease . this film was released when gilbert was still serving time . however , he ended up getting a pardon from the governor of florida and then admitted that his act was wrong , even though during his trial , he insists there was no other way for him to help his ailing wife .\n. hume cronyn and jessica tandy play two of the five residents of a doomed apartment building . little alien robots come to their aid . tandy plays a person with memory issues . however , her behavior has more to do about propelling the plot and creating tension / growth with other characters than it does about portraying dementia accurately .\nthanks to swapna kishore ( caregiver and blogger focusing on caregiving in india ) for the blog post with information about indian movies about dementia / alzheimer ' s disease .\nupdated 10 / 13 / 15 : i found a youtube channel with a variety of videos ( clips , trailers , tv programs , documentaries ) on dementia . i haven ' t viewed these yet , but i ' m putting the link here to save it .\nif you have others to recommend or if you want to suggest which of the films in the list above i should see next , please leave a comment .\ni\u2019m giving you my oscar pick for healthcare -

[ 90 ]\nthis principle was recognized at an early time . bartolomeo verde , who received a payment from the venetian special privilege fund in 1332 to build a windmill , [ 93 ] had to refund the money at once if he did not complete his installation and make it work within six months . [ 94 ] even the letters of protection granted to john kempe and other alien artisans were granted on the express condition that they come to england and practice their trades .\nshakespeare ' s audiences would have been familiar with the bible and christianity , regardless of where they fell on the religious spectrum . while shakespeare often commented on current events regarding the protestant / catholic debate within the action of his plays , his personal religious leanings are unknown . his plays , however , do give a clear picture of the religious climate in elizabethan england and its effect on daily life .\nin the 1580s , the writings of the university wits ( marlowe , greene , lyly , kyd , and peele ) defined the london theatre . though grounded in medieval and jacobean roots , these men produced new dramas and comedies using marlowe ' s styling of blank verse . shakespeare outdid them all ; he combined the best traits of elizabethan drama with classical sources , enriching the admixture with his imagination and wit .\nthe elizabethan grants may be divided into four main categories . [ 76 ] first , there were those industrial monopolies which were perfectly valid both at common law and after the statute of monopolies . included here were grants for inventions originating in the minds of the inventor and those communicated to an englishman from abroad . other grants considered unobjectionable in elizabeth ' s day were those for the importation into the realm of new products theretofore unknown and those for new trades .\nle saux ' s verse is at its best providing quick sketches of worker activities rather than fashioning real characters . the naming of a scots crew , for example , may drive the plot but at the expense of turning them into cartoons . interestingly , at its most serious , the film recalls early soviet cinema . the maintenance crew are shot with low - angles , in glorification of their work . elsewhere , a ' fitter ' gazes nobly after the departing elizabethan , whose journey he helped prepare through his sweat and toil .\nan even more striking divergence between elizabethan and modern patents is that most of the former gave the exclusive right of manufacture or importation and not the right of sale ( although patentees could frequently prevent sales of infringing products ) . the consumer could thus purchase the commodity from anyone who could manufacture it under a different process . what is even more important , the consumer could buy it from an importer , since the patentee usually had no monopoly over importation . [ 81 ] today a patentee obtains the sole privilege to vend the invention in addition to the manufacturing privilege .\nelizabethan theatre and the name of william shakespeare are inextricably bound together , yet there were others writing plays at the same time as the bard of avon . one of the most successful was christopher marlowe , who many contemporaries considered shakespeare ' s superior . marlowe ' s career , however , was cut short at a comparatively young age when he died in a tavern fight in deptford , the victim of a knife in the eye . theatre had an unsavory reputation . london authorities refused to allow plays within the city , so theatres opened across the thames in southwark , outside the authority of the city administration .\nanother difference between elizabethan patent law and the present english system exists in the definition of novelty . elizabeth desired to introduce those industries into the realm which would produce manufactures imported theretofore , such as alum , glass , soap , oils , malt , saltpeter , latten , etc . the petitioner had only to show that the industry had not been carried on within the realm within a reasonable period of time . [ 80 ] today , however , the proof of a single public sale of an article before application for a patent can render a subsequent issued patent invalid . similarly , a . printed publication of the invention can negate patentability .\nqueen elizabeth i was an incredibly popular queen whose reign is remembered as a \u201cgolden age\u201d of culture and growth even during foreign and domestic challenges . the elizabethan era , during which shakespeare lived and wrote , is also known for sir francis drake ' s exploration of the \u201cnew world , \u201d the english defeat of the spanish armada ( a naval campaign to invade and bring roman catholicism back to england ) , sir walter raleigh ' s colonial exploration , the blossoming of theatre and poetry in england , and setting the stage for english empire and colonization . yet it was also a time marked by war , economic depression , and complex spiritual and political conflict . deep tensions between protestants and catholics came from england ' s recent departure from the roman catholic church , initiated by elizabeth ' s father , king henry viii .\nthe elizabethan age saw the flowering of poetry ( the sonnet , the spenserian stanza , dramatic blank verse ) , was a golden age of drama ( especially for the plays of shakespeare ) , and inspired a wide variety of splendid prose ( from historical chronicles , versions of the holy scriptures , pamphlets , and literary criticism to the first english novels ) . from about the beginning of the 17th century a sudden darkening of tone became noticeable in most forms of literary expression , especially in drama , and the change more or less coincided with the death of elizabeth . english literature from 1603 to 1625 is properly called jacobean , after the new monarch , james i . but , insofar as 16th - century themes and patterns were carried over into the 17th century , the writing from the earlier part of his reign , at least , is sometimes referred to by the amalgam \u201cjacobethan . \u201d\nthe best english soap at this time was soft mottled bristol soap . . hard spanish soap of castile was employed for fine laundry work , for which the english soap was unsuitable . on january 3 , 1561 , elizabeth ' s first patent grant was given to stephen groyett and anthony le leuryer for the making of \u201cwhite sope\u201d . the grant extended for ten years and stipulated that at least two of the servants of the patentees were to be of native birth ( which indicates that the patentees were probably aliens ) and the white hard soap to be made was to be as good and fine as that made in the \u201csope house of triana or syvile . \u201d the patentees ' wares were to be submitted to the municipal authorities for inspection and , on proof of defective manufacture , the privilege was to be void . [ 71 ] this was the first of a long line of elizabethan industrial\nyears . s altpeter had not been produced in england , most of it having been imported via antwerp , a port controlled by the catholic king of spain . elizabeth bargained with gerard honricke , \u201can almayne captain , \u201d ] to come over and teach her subjects the art of making saltpeter as good as the product from beyond the seas . [ 83 ] saltpeter was used to make gunpowder and elizabeth was greatly concerned with the production of military supplies at this time . [ 84 ] it is doubtful if honricke was required to reduce the secrets of the process to writing before the bargain was struck but it was an express condition of the agreement that he was to disclose the process in writing before he received the promised reward of \u00a3300 . honricke was probably not the inventor of the process . upon his arrival in england , the queen assigned the contract to cockeram and barnes , who were london merchants . [ 85 ] the english apprenticeship clause was , of course , to be found mainly in those patents granted to foreigners , just in case they left the country at or before the expiration of the patent term . [ 86 ]\nby modifying his source materials in this way , shakespeare was able to take an unremarkable revenge story and make it resonate with the most fundamental themes and problems of the renaissance . the renaissance is a vast cultural phenomenon that began in fifteenth - century italy with the recovery of classical greek and latin texts that had been lost to the middle ages . the scholars who enthusiastically rediscovered these classical texts were motivated by an educational and political ideal called ( in latin ) humanitas\u2014the idea that all of the capabilities and virtues peculiar to human beings should be studied and developed to their furthest extent . renaissance humanism , as this movement is now called , generated a new interest in human experience , and also an enormous optimism about the potential scope of human understanding . hamlet\u2019s famous speech in act ii , \u201cwhat a piece of work is a man ! how noble in reason , how infinite in faculty , in form and moving how express and admirable , in action how like an angel , in apprehension how like a god\u2014the beauty of the world , the paragon of animals ! \u201d ( ii . ii . 293\u2013297 ) is directly based upon one of the major texts of the italian humanists , pico della mirandola\u2019s oration on the dignity of man . for the humanists , the purpose of cultivating reason was to lead to a better understanding of how to act , and their fondest hope was that the coordination of action and understanding would lead to great benefits for society as a whole .\ncredits ( 0 . 09 ) [ credits overlay ] gvs ints . victoria station , london ( 0 . 21 ) gvs british rail staff planning new non -

[ 4 ] for the purpose of this paper , a monopoly will mean a privilege consisting of the exclusive right to carry on a . particular business or trade , manufacture a particular article , or control the sale of the entire supply of a particular commodity . [ 5 ] we need deal here only with monopolies granted by the sovereign .\na grant of a letters patent was a personal and direct grant of some dignity , office , monopoly , franchise or other privilege by the english sovereign through the exercise of the royal prerogative and was recorded on the patent rolls in the record office . the documents received by the patentee were called letters patent , the term being derived from the latin literae patentes or \u201copen letters\u201d because they were addressed , not to particular individuals , but \u201cto all to whom these presents shall come . \u201d the documents were traditionally sealed so that they could be read without breaking the seals , while \u201cletters close\u201d could not be read without first breaking the seals . [ 6 ]\nthis paper will be concerned with the history of letters patent for inventions . it will be necessary , however , to consider monopoly grants other than those for inventions to fully understand what kind of a privilege the inventor received . a short summary of some of the more important early developments outside of england before the beginning of english patent law will be helpful .\n3 . the seventeen year term in the united states dates from the date of issuance of the patent whereas the sixteen year term in great britain dates from the date of the filing of the complete specification .\n4 . aristotle , politics , bk . i , chap . xii , 48 .\n5 . black ' s law dictionary 1158 ( 4th ed . 1951 ) .\nathenaeus , writing in the third century a . d . , in his \u201cbanquet of the learned , \u201d quotes phylarchus , the historian , as saying that in about 500 b . c . in sybaris , a greek colony famous for luxurious living and self - indulgence , if any confectioner or cook invented a peculiar and exclusive dish , no one else was allowed to make it for a year . [ 7 ] in . a . d . 337 the roman emperor constantine decreed that artisans of certain trades who resided in cities were exempt from all civil duties , especially if their leisure hours were employed in perfecting themselves and instructing their sons . among the artisans so privileged were the locksmiths , chariot makers , engineers , workers in lead and manufacturers , which groups probably included most the inventors of the time . [ 8 ] while this was no monopoly grant , it was the grant of a privilege and a recognition of the value of rewarding those working in the arts and sciences . the romans were , in fact , distasteful of monopolies . the emperor zeno , in a . d . 483 , made it clear that there was to be no monopoly of any kind over clothing or food , regardless if it was procured under a rescript of an emperor .

[ 11 ] in 1236 the english king henry iii , who also ruled western france , confirmed a grant by the mayor of bordeaux to bonafusus de sancta columbia under which he and his fellows alone in bordeaux were permitted to make cloths of many colors after the manner of the flemings , french and english for fifteen years , after which time anyone could make the cloths and bonafusus was to have no advantage . [ 12 ] these early grants of privileges were not necessarily for inventions and did not all result in monopolies .\none of the first real patents for invention was granted by the signoria of florence to fillippo brunelleschi , the great engineer and architect of the magnificent cupola of the cathedral of florence . the patent privilege was given in 1421 for three years for a device for transporting heavy loads on the armo and other rivers . the work of anyone imitating his invention was to be burned .

turner . unfortunately revisiting this 2ndww thriller after many years has not proved so enjoyable . the story starts off with a great flourish when major smith and lt shaffer together\nwhere eagles dare , while not always believable , is certainly the best film based on a maclean novel . his role as screenwriter was essential to its script -

nonsense military adventure , with richard burton and clint eastwood leading an allied rescue mission into an impregnable german fortress high atop a mountain . scripted by alistair maclean ( the guns of navarone , ice station zebra ) , who provides gripping plot twists , the film has become a virtual institution in britain , beloved for its straight - faced depiction of machine - gun - wielding good guys blowing up everything in sight .\nan expensive but enormously profitable war picture , where eagles dare centers upon a daring rescue and even more daring escape . disguised as nazi officers , commandoes maj . john smith ( richard burton ) , lt . morris schaffer clint eastwood and six other courageous souls parachute behind enemy lines . their mission : to rescue an american general , held captive in a supposedly impenetrable alpine castle . aiding and abetting the commandoes are allied undercover agents mary ( mary ure ) and heidi ( ingrid pitt ) . also on hand is a british officer ( patrick wymark ) , who masterminded the mission . somewhere , somehow , someone amongst the allies is going to turn out to be a traitor . there ' s also a neat plot twist in store when the commandoes manage to reach the american general - - which leads to yet another twist . the vertigo - inducing climax has made where eagles dare one of the most sought - after of\nearly\neastwood starring features . the film was written directly for the screen by espionage novelist alistair maclean . ~ hal erickson , rovi\n] stay where you are ! i advise everyone to be perfectly still . drop your gun , major . you too , lieutenant . by the fireplace .\npresident mahinda rajapaksha declared open the first ever reception hall named \u2018eagles lagoon view ' of the sri lanka air force ( slaf ) in katunayaka on saturday evening . pic courtesy president ' s media\nmuch too dangerous , eastwood nicknamed the production\nwhere doubles dare .\nof course , even eastwood must have thought twice about hanging off a moving cable car hundreds of feet in the air , as did his own stunt double , eddie powell . the actual on -

firstly with re - creations of key battles and , subsequently , tales of true and fictional derring - do , such as an earlier maclean adaptation , the guns of navarone ( 1961 ) . the development of bond films in the early 1960s brought a new dimension to espionage - oriented cinema . where eagles dare brings these strands together - fusing the spy story with war action - and helped create a wave of patriotic cold war thrillers that arguably climaxed with the spy who loved me ( 1977 ) .\nthis is one of the first films to use front projection effect . specifically , this technology enabled filming of the scenes where the actors are on top of the cable car .\njohn rollo period 3 where eagles dare by : alistair maclean the story where eagles dare started off a bit slow for me , but as the story went on , the action really kicked in . the story begins with a problem , an important american general is being held hostage in a secret gestapo facility by the ss . britain is america\u2019s closest ally to the situation and is called in to help . they assemble a team of men to infiltrate the facility and the book is than filled with mysteries and unfortunate scenarios for these would be heroes . the story unfolds and asks the questions will they be able to save the american in time , and if so what other horrors might they uncover at this secret base and what lengths might they be forced to go to . i would defiantly recommend this book to you mrs . abood , i\u2019m sure you would enjoy it . i couldn\u2019t say too much in the summary without giving something away but it is an action packed book that i highly recommend you picking up . make sure that you give it a chance because as i said it is slow to start up , which is the reason i only gave it 4 stars , but i guarantee it is worth your time .\nwhere eagles dare\na movie after the story and screenplay by alistair mclean , starring richard burton , clint eastwood and others , was filmed at burg hohenwerfen near the village of werfen in austria . the cable car , which the movie pretends to be the only access to the castle , in fact , is located in the mountains opposite the castle . it connects werfen with the worlds largest ice cave , the\neisriesenwelt\n. instead of the lacking cable car , a lift from parking lot to the upper courtyard had been installed not too long ago . enthusiasts may visit urltoken , the movies unofficial homepage .\nallied agents stage a daring raid on a castle where the nazis are holding an american general prisoner . . . but that ' s not all that ' s really going on .\npossibly the best documentary you ' ve never seen . when eagles dare , produced by daniel van der molen and joseph mainland , is a documentary which follows the behind the scenes activity at south london football club crystal palace during their 2012 / 13 campaign . molen media were granted access to selhurst park following the appointment of ian hollaway as first team manager in november 2012 and a roller coaster journey ensued . following a nine - game winless streak the eagles secured a play - off place on the final day of the season and went on to gain promotion to the premier league , defeating rivals brighton in the semi - final and then watford in the final at wembley .\nas the second world war thriller became bogged down during the mid - 60s in plodding epics like operation crossbow and the heroes of telemark , someone was needed to reintroduce a little sang - froid , some post - le carr\u00e9 espionage , and for heaven ' s sake , some proper macho thrills into the genre . alistair maclean stepped up , writing the screenplay and the novel of where eagles dare simultaneously , and brian g hutton summoned up a better than usual cast headed by richard burton ( major jonathan smith ) , a still fresh - faced clint eastwood ( lieutenant morris schaffer ) , and the late mary ure ( mary elison ) .\nas in ice station zebra , the characters in where eagles dare are thin . alistair maclean reuses his usual stock characters : the cold , unflappable british hero , smith ; the tough , wisecracking american sidekick , schaffer ; and the weak but beautiful woman , mary , who seems a bit more nervous than you might expect in a supposed top mi6 agent . the supporting characters , including all the germans , are given no real characterisation at all ; they are just extras . this kind of shorthand in writing and characterisation can possibly be put down to the fact that alistair maclean wrote the book very quickly and at the same time as the film script .\nsea eagles halfback daly cherry -

almost considered impossible - if only because of the harsh winter weather and the rugged terrain of the alps . planning the scenes are important because often only one take is possible . to some of the filmmakers , it almost feels like they are war planning . the movie itself has special meaning for one of its stars , german ingrid pitt , since she is a recent escapee of east germany .\ncomposer ron goodwin ( 1925 -

known for his war efforts , such as 633 squadron ( 1963 ) and battle of britain ( 1969 ) , of which where eagles dare was unusual in that it eschewed major - key pomp in favor of gritty , minor - mode determination . the title music embodies the single - minded ambition of the protagonists to infiltrate the mountain fortress and complete their mission , and becomes the basis for the entire score , which is full of hard - nosed suspense and pounding symphonic action .\nsponsored products are advertisements for products sold by merchants on amazon . when you click on a sponsored product ad , you will be taken to an amazon detail page where you can learn more about the product and purchase it .\nsmith and schaffer sneak into the hall of the schloss adler , where they find general carnaby being interrogated by a german general . the other three members of the british team arrive and reveal that they are all double agents .\ni don ' t care what anyone says about the film or its flaws , not only was the movie a genuine masterpiece of the action / adventure genre , but the soundtrack was also a work of art . i agree with those that say the film might have been a flop had it not been for this music , but then again music really does make the movie and nowhere is that more true than with\nwhere eagles dare\nevery track from beginning to end has you literally\nseeing\nthe movie without the picture and its one of those few where you can actually visualize the scene according to each track and the progress of the story . driving in your car or just wandering about the house you can see this movie just by listening to the cd alone ! my only wish is to finally see this film released on dvd in its original widescreen format and 5 . 1 digital surround . only then will final justice to be done to the soundtrack and this fine movie for all time .\nwhere eagles dare -

upperlipped british hero ; the tough , wisecracking with slight drawl american sidekick ; and the weak but beautiful woman which is surprising for a top mi6 agent . any other characters , including the germans , are treated as cardboard extras . this aside the writing is punchy and the dialogue solid even it comes from stereotypes . certainly maclean knows how to play out a tense action scene that is why so many of his books have become movies . that is what makes this book readable . who wouldn ' t want to know what happens on a cold winter night when seven men and a woman\ndrop in\non the mountain headquarters of the gestapo ? after all , not everything is as it seems .\nthey [ blackout ] meet heidi and head to the airfield in the post -

shaming authority , where women are not allowed to speak about their feelings of attraction whatsoever . it gives off an implication that women are inherently repressive when it comes to sexuality , a point that some people may take offense to . and with gender and sexuality turning into prominent issues recently , there\u2019s something a little old hat about sawers\u2019 film operating within the same standards that are being constantly challenged today .\nthe tipping point comes from a fairly innocuous instagram post . it\u2019s a group of musicians in a recording studio . a candid , behind -

screen look . this seeming gimmick lends great intimacy to a highly mobile tale more about texture than drama .\nit took a few more years before bulls general manager jerry krause put together the rest of the pieces that would form the first three - peat squad . the 1987 draft was obviously key , with the bulls acquiring pippen in a draft - day trade and then selecting clemson forward horace grant with the no . 10 pick .\nthere\u2019s a subplot with an armenian cab driver ( karren karagulian ) unhappy with his traditional home life , but this pays off with pretty amusing cameos , especially by ex\u2013western star clu gulager as a drunken passenger .\n\u201craw\u201d and \u201cgritty\u201d best describes the tone of tangerine , a take -

and - white , even seemingly taking a life of its own .\nthe group is destined for a town called lordsburg , which is problematic because that requires going through apache country , where geronimo and company are rumored to be on the warpath . the stagecoach is escorted by soldiers only part of the way ; the rest of the trip , they ' re on their own , a fact observed with caution and concern .\n, the 1937 short story by ernest haycox on which the film is based . descriptive , brief , and only loosely adapted , it ' s obviously worth a read . the booklet closes with a technical explanation of the transfer and its unfixed defects , followed by dvd credits and acknowledgements .\nthe stagecoach tells the story of a trip which is spiced up by the fact that geronimo geronimo and his apaches are on the warpath in the area . there are well written characters in this star -

quarters , the film is a light , character - driven ensemble drama . with the distinct personalities established quickly and effectively , we ' re able to tag along and observe . with the threat of indian savagery looming , two unlikely couples seem to form between ladylike anna and her protector hatfield\nthough the spontaneity of extemporization is missed , well - spoken kitses provides something far better as he calls attention to interesting background information , character nuances , and technical aspects . sure , it ' s a little pretentious , but also quite accessible and engaging . the film ' s soundtrack rises during kitses ' highly rare pauses .\nthrough the majestic rock formations of monument valley , the stagecoach is followed by the cavalry troops riding guard , while curley and buck converse in a two - shot on the driver ' s seat ( as they often do in the film ) . dense and poor , buck comically complains about his domestic situation with his distinctively squeaky voice :\ntrue to its original design , the film is presented in a single - channel monaural soundtrack . the elements are clearly dated and the mix never shakes a slight hum and hiss . while i consider this audio acceptable , the included subtitle track is sometimes useful ( sadly , criterion has yet to extend this luxury to bonus features ) .\nis proud to contain one of the most stunning action sequences ever captured on film - the apache attack . featuring death - defying stuntwork , and superlative camerawork and editing , it is incredible in its execution and is probably the reason ford earned his second oscar nomination for best director . it has also inspired a similar sequence in steven spielberg\u2019s\n, which would be wayne ' s star - making film , was john ford ' s first sound western . ford had directed plenty of silent westerns ( few of which survive today ) , but in his first ten years of talkies , he had made war dramas , seafaring adventures , a shirley temple movie , and mistaken - identity comedies .\nprovides all of these staples , but saves most of its action for the final act , which culminates with a hotly - anticipated vengeance shootout that pits ringo against troublemaker luke plummer and his two brothers . there isn ' t a gun fired until the film ' s final 25 minutes , when an extended scene excitingly offers little more than that .\ndoes little better in its depiction of geronimo , who is played by an unlikely tom tyler ( above , at left ) , a minor b - western cowboy - turned - apache for this less - than - memorable movie . in an even more unusual twist for casting , tyler appears opposite lucille ball and james craig ( above , at right ) in this tale of an undercover government agent bent on bringing a stereotypical dishonest indian agent to justice .\nis widely considered the best western of its time and the times leading up to it , but you needn ' t have a soft spot for that pass\u00e9 genre to appreciate this . feeling like a perilous , much more confined grand hotel on wheels , this is a very good movie made in an era when the american film industry had no shortage of very good movies . while\nthis film debuted john ford ' s favorite setting - the majestic monument valley of the southwest - the first of seven films he made in the famed western valley , followed by my darling clementine ( 1946 ) , fort apache ( 1948 ) , she wore a yellow ribbon ( 1949 ) , the searchers ( 1956 ) , sergeant rutledge ( 1960 ) , and cheyenne autumn ( 1964 ) .\n\u2026is the home of the indie auteur of the year award ; where recognition is honored to filmmakers who evenhandedly wear a minimum of 5 hats ( positions ) from the inception of pre -

ending\u2026\ndisc one contains just two bonus features . first and more substantial is an audio commentary by film historian / professor and western scholar jim kitses . evidently reading from a script , kitses is more rehearsed , calculated , and scholarly than most commentators . despite this approach , he stills spends much of the time remarking about what ' s on screen ( i can only imagine the kind of preparation this required ) .\n' s more modest modern -

( john wayne fans may wish the star was given more notice here . ) the solid audio commentary and the revealing 72 - minute interview with ford are most winning , but all of criterion ' s usual nice touches are appreciated as always .\n, is as familiar to paratroopers today as it was in wwii . it is a dramatic and lively tune that never lost its appeal over the years . it is almost impossible to attend a major ceremony in the 82nd airborne division at fort bragg without hearing this staple of war - era music fill the air . so well - loved is this song that even troopers who are not so musically inclined find themselves drawn into singing along ! in the civilian world , remnants of the confidence - inspiring yell remain . they can still be seen in the actions of that kid jumping from the death - defying height of the top bunk and yelling what he thinks might be his last word ,\ngeronimo\n.\nwhen doc explains that he is leaving town permanently , the bartender acquiesces and provides him with a free drink :\njust this one .\nthe only other person in the bar is another passenger from the coach , mr . samuel peacock ( donald meek ) , a timid , solemn whiskey drummer ( salesman ) . [ peacock is continually mistaken for a clergyman , and called by incorrect names throughout the film - hancock and haycock . ] the three characters - the bartender , doc , and peacock - form a triangle , with peacock at its apex in the background .\nthe credit titles are presented with a woodblock style typeface . following the credits but before the main story , a short prologue presents the perilous atmosphere . two couriers ( one a cheyenne indian ) gallop on horseback to a military / cavalry outpost , going past where a flag is being raised . faintly in the background ,\ni dream of jeannie with the light brown hair\nis heard on the soundtrack . they report to a captain and lieutenant ( tim holt ) that apaches\nhave burnt every ranch building in sight\nand\nare being stirred up by geronimo .\nthe captain is assured that the passive - faced indian scout ( chief big tree ) isn ' t lying :\nnaw , he ' s a cheyenne . they hate apaches worse than we do .\nthe next day he fulfilled his promise . eberhardt ' s fellow paratroopers heard the word ,\ngeronimo\nrepeatedly fill the air from the moment he jumped out until his feet touched the ground ! others in the platoon picked up on the idea in their subsequent parachute jumps and the beginnings of a tradition formed in the skies above lawson army airfield as more of the platoon mimicked private eberhardt ' s bold , mid - air yell . had an indian warrior ' s name ever before been used in such an adrenaline - filled situation ? in all probability this idea was born in the mind of none other than a us army private , with his only help being a mountain of paratrooper confidence and the inspiring chief thunder cloud on the screen of the fort benning ' s main post theatre .\nset in the wake of the civil war , this film lets us travel west from arizona territory to new mexico . the titular vehicle gathers a diverse lot of strangers from various walks of life . our initial point of entry is lucy mallory ( louise platt ) , a quiet soldier ' s wife intending to meet her husband . she is joined by two people driven out of town by the women ' s league of law and order : broke , ever - drunken doctor boone ( thomas mitchell ) and dallas ( top - billed claire trevor ) , a woman of ill repute . also present are mr . peacock (\n( 27 : 09 ) . this premiere installment of the film - adapting nbc radio series\nscreen director ' s playhouse\nhas john wayne and claire trevor aurally reprising their roles , with ward bond playing doc boone and john ford introducing the performance . it stays close to the movie , only heavily condensing it for a half - hour of airtime . while it can be heard on a standard dvd player , the program is better enjoyed via the eight transferable mp3 files criterion has included for dvd - rom use ( which have the fast - forwarding , rewinding , and pausing capabilities the dvd ' s playback lacks ) .\ni have no doubt that this is the superior dvd release of the film , but don ' t get rid of warner ' s special edition if you have it and appreciate its many exclusive bonus features . if you ' re blu - ray - equipped but selective with your premium purchases , you might like to know that the identically - priced single - disc blu - ray is actually now selling for a dollar and a half less than the dvd at amazon . whichever format you opt for , criterion ' s release garners a recommendation for anyone fond of ford , wayne , or the golden age of hollywood at large .\n( 54 : 24 ) . one of ford ' s earliest works , this comedy western tells of a love triangle , as a simple wyoming rancher ( played by harry carey , sr . ) tries to regain the girl ( molly malone ) he lost to a mustachioed horse inspector from new york city ( vester pegg ) . a copy of the film , long feared lost , was discovered in 2002 and restored . that explains why , alternating between gold and green tinting , it looks and sounds fresh with new intertitles and piano score . unfortunately , it did very little for me on any level , beyond reminding me that a lot of silent films are really boring by today ' s standards .\nso this movie doesn\u2019t stand tall only due to its mass popularity , it also has got official accolades to corroborate its significance among classic western movies . the movie opens on a funeral . the funeral of tom doniphan ( john wayne ) . a u . s . senator ( ransom stoddard - james stewart ) and his wife have come back to the small town of shinbone to attend this funeral , in an unnamed western state . the senator explains a newsman why he has come to bury an apparent nobody . he narrates the whole story and the film unfolds in flashback . fold by fold movie reveals the secret behind the man once who shot a feared outlaw liberty valance . a must watch from john wayne movies collection !\nbuck inquires about his regular\nshotgun guard\nin the sheriff ' s office , learning that he is\nout with a posse . . . trying to catch the ringo kid\nwho probably\nbusted out\nof the penitentiary and is\naimin ' to get even with them plummer boys\nwhose testimony sent him there .

culture references , topical concerns addressed almost in passing , and narrative fracturing devices . by contrast , the second half seems almost devoid of ambition , turning instead to a far more straightforward depiction of not - so - complex romantic geometry and impending violence . that the opening act is no more satisfying than its stripped down successor is largely the result of a dilettantish quality on the filmmakers\u2019 part , the idea that cataloguing items of cultural and social significance is akin to addressing them and that constant editorializing on the proceedings is the best way to forestall criticism .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

( see chekov\u2019s maxim . )\nhe also introduces them to suzanne ( gillian jacobs ) , his sometime girlfriend , and billy ( michael esper ) , a film student who figures that their perspectives on america , formed largely by what they see on television , will make a great documentary ( thus the film\u2019s title ) . when chen ( leonardo nam ) is mugged and then starts seeing suzanne \u2014 violence and sex , just like on tv ! \u2014 the film resolves into a conventional melodrama .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

( in today ' s beauty - obsessed society , he ' d have no choice . ) scottish - born mary gordon could play irish ( as she does here ) or british ( as mrs . hudson , the housekeeper in the basil rathbone sherlock holmes movies ) although her accent never changed . a method actor she wasn ' t .\ni remember watching this on tcm when i was about ten years old and loving it . i remember it was playing in the middle of a jack carson and dennis morgan\nguys from some place or the other\nmarathon . i still have a fond nostalgia for those films , but i never did watch them for the plot .\ncopyright 2018 ( like that means anything on the internet ) . banner photo by sue duncan . simple theme . powered by blogger .\nboasting 19 european cup winners ' medals , england went to the 1980 european championships sure of success . but as daniel ruiz explains , things quickly fell apart for ron greenwood ' s team , with poor performances on the pitch and chaos in the stands . . .\nas ron greenwood made his preparations to take his england team to the 1980 european championship in italy , he had good reason to feel confident . the first man to lead england to a major international tournament since alf ramsey ' \u0099s team fell to gerd muller ' \u0099s volley in the world cup in mexico , he could also boast a group of players , in terms of honours at least , far superior to ramsey ' \u0099s 1970 vintage .\ngreenwood had taken charge in the summer of 1977 , arriving too late to steer england to the 1978 world cup finals in argentina , but had built an impressive - looking team by focusing on the fundamentals .\nfootball ' \u0099s a simple game , you don ' \u0099t have to complicate it , and ron brought that simplicity back to the national set - up ,\nrecalls southampton centre - half dave watson , a survivor from the last days of the ramsey era . unlike don revie , he didn ' \u0099t play players out of position .\nengland looked in good shape . a 2 - 0 friendly win over fellow qualifiers spain was followed by a 3 - 1 wembley victory over world champions argentina .\nwith qualification confidently sealed from a group featuring denmark , the two irelands and bulgaria , england were among the favourites to lift the trophy , but their involvement in the championships was not top of the domestic agenda . it was a time of social and political unrest . unemployment had moved above two million for the first time since 1935 , and would rise by a further half a million by the end of the year , while the siege of the iranian embassy in london was gripping tv viewers worldwide .\non the sporting front too , the footballers were overshadowed by the forthcoming olympics , and in particular , by the decision to send a british team to moscow . the british olympic association was defying new prime minister margaret thatcher ' \u0099s efforts to back the us boycott in response to the ussr ' \u0099s invasion of afghanistan the previous year .\nnevertheless , england looked in good shape . a 2 - 0 friendly win over fellow qualifiers spain in barcelona that spring was followed by a 3 - 1 wembley victory over world champions argentina , a game that introduced a 19 - year - old maradona to england fans\u0093 and players .\nhe made this great run , similar to that second goal against england in mexico 86 ,\nrecalls forest striker garry birtles , who made his england debut as a late substitute .\non this occasion he put it into the side netting , but we were all looking at each other on the bench , having never seen anything like it . you could see this guy was going to be a massive talent .\n\u009cleopoldo luque , their centre - forward , told me off for tackling him on one occasion ,\n\u009d chuckles watson .\nhe said , ' \u0098he ' \u0099s only a boy . ' \u0099 but as far as i was concerned , if he was playing , he was big enough to take a tackle .\neven a 4 - 1 defeat away to wales just days later , england ' \u0099s heaviest since 1964 , could not dampen the enthusiasm . but with the forest contingent in madrid for the european cup final against keegan ' \u0099s hamburg , greenwood was unable to field his first 11 for the rest of the home internationals , and the wales loss was followed by a fortunate 1 - 1 draw at wembley against northern ireland , and an unconvincing 2 - 0 win over scotland .\n\u009ci was a big quo fan , but that summer some of the players would gather in my room to listen to the latest gerry rafferty album , night owl ,\nrecalls watson , whose fabled hi - fi included not only the usual tape - deck / radio , but also a television . eighteen inches long , six inches deep , it was so big that he had a flight case specially built for it .\nhorse racing enthusiasts emlyn hughes , mick mills and phil thompson took their minds off things by hiring a helicopter to fly them to epsom for the derby .\n\u009cit was all the rage back then ,\nhe says ,\nand i still have it to this day .\nmeanwhile horse racing enthusiasts emlyn hughes , mick mills and phil thompson took their minds off things by hiring a helicopter to fly them to epsom for the derby , where a record 400 , 000 crowd saw willie carson win for the second year in a row .\nit was a superb day , one of those things you can ' \u0099t believe you can do ,\n\u009d recalls mills .\nwe ' \u0099d just had a full training session and got cleaned up , and shortly after midday the helicopter was buzzing its way into the hotel grounds .\nthe players landed in the centre of the course just before the first race was due to start .\nwe all had the derby winner and we had a couple of other little bets that allowed us to pay for the helicopter ,\nsays mills .\nas we waited for it to take us back , we met up with willie carson and had a little chat .\nas they landed back in the hotel grounds , keegan came sprinting over .\nhe ' \u0099d been entertaining a young boy with a terminal illness , giving him a special day out where he got to meet the players . kevin had a quick chat with the pilot and it was quickly arranged for the boy to go up in the helicopter for a spin .\nwatson , minus stereo , didn ' \u0099t seem to have a problem , finding himself on a private tour of downing street with the pm as guide .\n\u009cshe seemed to take a liking to me for some reason , and came over and took hold of my hand . suddenly we were off on this excursion . she showed me these paintings of the ex - prime ministers that were hanging on the walls and gave me their history . it was very enjoyable - \u0093 we didn ' \u0099t talk football at all .\nmills remembers being taken aback by the size of the place .\nthe most amazing thing is that , when you see that door on television , it looks a pretty small building , but inside it seems to take off and go on for miles .\nthe eight qualifiers were divided into two groups of four . with no semi - finals , the top team in each group would contest the final , while the second - placed countries fought over third place . the favourites were jupp derwall ' \u0099s west germany , rebuilt after a poor defence of their world cup title in argentina , and drawn in group a alongside a dutch side in sharp decline , holders czechoslovakia and surprise qualifiers greece .\ngroup b saw england up against belgium , spain and italy , whose fans expected a repeat of the 1968 success when they had last enjoyed home advantage . but the hosts were in turmoil , with 33 players - including some internationals - \u0093 due on trial in rome charged with fraud , having allegedly accepted money to fix the results of two games .\nitaly coach enzo bearzot threatened to resign unless his federation told him who would be available for selection , but on may 19 he got the news he didn ' \u0099t want . paulo rossi , so vital to italian hopes , was banned for three years , later reduced to two on appeal .\ngreenwood would also be without his first - choice striker , a ruptured achilles ruling out forest ' \u0099s \u00a31m man trevor francis , while keegan ' \u0099s knee ligament was giving cause for concern . an exhausting season with hamburg and endless commercial commitments had taken their toll on the england captain .\nsansom , however , was in heaven .\ni remember the buzz i felt when we were all handed our identity badges - \u0093 that ' \u0099s when you realised you were part of something . the fact that the finals were in italy made it even bigger for me as i felt italian football was the best in the world .\nin the evening of june 12th , the streets of turin played host to a running street battle between 200 english and italian hooligans .\nsansom was rooming with tottenham star hoddle , but while hoddle was an early bird , the palace youngster found himself seeing out his evenings in the card school .\ni was playing with the big boys ,\nhe says ,\nkevin keegan , terry mcdermott and peter shilton . when we travelled to the games , we just played seven - card brag for points , but back in the hotel we ' \u0099d go down to three - card brag where we played for a little more .\nas england relaxed , group a kicked off on june 12 with 1 - 0 wins for west germany over czechoslovakia and holland over greece . by that evening though , a new international phenomenon had taken centre stage , the streets of turin playing host to a running street battle between 200 english and italian hooligans . though 36 people were detained , the fighting , the first of what would become a familiar sight on the continent over the next decade , made only a small column on page six of the times . the following day , however , england fans made front - page news .\ngreenwood ' \u0099s men were overwhelming favourites to beat the unfancied belgians , but guy thys ' \u0099 men had defeated scotland in the qualifiers and were going into the championship on the back of seven straight victories and a 13 - match unbeaten run .\nthe game started well for england . after 26 minutes , ray wilkins chipped the ball over the belgian back four , ran through them and lobbed home over the advancing jean marie pfaff to make it 1 - 0 . but the lead lasted a matter of moments , striker jan ceulemens stabbing the ball home from a corner . almost immediately , fighting broke out behind the england goal .\nthe violence seemed to begin when the italians cheered the belgian goal ,\nwrote norman fox in the times .\nas yellow smoke clouded the terraces , police waded into the england fans and greenwood appealed to uefa officials to stop the match .\n\u009cwe just made our way towards the middle of the pitch ,\n\u009d says sansom .\ni don ' \u0099t think any of the players were hurt , though a couple of them had sore eyes .\nthe game restarted five minutes later , both sides struggling to get back into their rhythm before half - time . after the break , though , england pushed hard for the win . with 15 minutes left , tony woodcock got in ahead of his marker to score , but unknown to him , the linesman had raised his flag before lowering it again .\nthe england players were back at the halfway line before they realised that west german referee heinz aldinger had disallowed the goal . it was to prove a key decision : england were prevented from getting off to a quick start , and belgium took heed of the warning to hold out for a draw .\nceulemans feels that england didn ' \u0099t take belgium seriously , but concedes that they expected to be beaten .\nengland had a better side so we were surprised to hold them to a draw . it was then that we started to believe in our chances .\nthe result wasn ' \u0099t the main talking point , however . the hooligans were .\nwe are ashamed of people like this ,\nsaid a furious greenwood .\nwe have done everything to create the right impression here , then these bastards let you down .\nuefa hit the fa with an \u00a38 , 000 fine for the crowd disturbances .\n\u009cit could have been a lot more serious ,\nsaid fa chairman professor sir harold thompson .\nit is a lamentable disgrace that the work ron greenwood has done can be jeopardised by a few silly louts . they are not fans at all .\nin the circumstances , a crucial game between england and italy was the last thing the italian authorities needed . the mayor of turin , signor diego novelli , threatened to cancel the match in the event of any more trouble from english fans , and banned the sale of alcohol in the stadio comunale . margaret thatcher , in venice attending an eec summit , described the events as ' \u009cdisgraceful ' \u009d .\nmeanwhile the players tried to stay focused on football . many felt the hooligans were harming the team ' \u0099s chances , but mills admits they were largely unaffected by the trouble .\n\u009cwe ' \u0099d grown up with it . crowd violence was one of those unfortunate things that was around in the ' \u009970s and early - ' \u009980s .\nitaly been beaten at home in a decade , and were unbeaten on the mainland since england ' \u0099s 3 - 2 victory in rome in 1961 .\nitaly were having their own problems , outplayed by spain in a goalless draw , but england faced an enormous task . the hosts hadn ' \u0099t been beaten at home in a decade , and were unbeaten on the mainland since england ' \u0099s 3 - 2 victory in rome in 1961 .\ngreenwood made three changes for the game . up front , david johnson made way for birtles , whose ability against man - to - man markers in forest ' \u0099s european cup campaigns had impressed greenwood ( the manager had brought the young striker along mainly with this game in mind ) .\nray kennedy came in for trevor brooking in midfield , and peter shilton replaced clemence in goal , continuing greenwood ' \u0099s unusual practice of alternating his keepers every game . for many , this was the most glaring example of his weakness as a manager - niceness .\nron should have chosen one ahead of the other ,\nsays mills .\ni think he was trying to be fair because they were both capable of being the england goalkeeper .\nbut , as mills points out , when greenwood finally settled on shilton for the world cup two years later , the side only conceded one goal in five games .\nboosted by kevin keegan ' \u0099s recovery from a stomach upset , greenwood was in confident mood as kick - off approached .\nsomebody has to win ,\nhe declared , clearly believing it would be england .\nas over 60 , 000 fans squeezed themselves into the stadio communale , supervised by a massive police presence , fighting broke out on the terraces 90 minutes before kick - off , but was quickly quelled . the england team had other problems . pre - match , birtles was interviewed by bobby charlton for english tv .\nthere i was being interviewed by one of the game ' \u0099s greatest players , and i was wearing purple trousers and these really loud purple shoes . quite what bobby made of me , i don ' \u0099t know .\nnor was it the only fashion disaster .\nwe came out in our admiral tracksuits , who were among the leading kit makers at the time ,\nsays sansom .\nthen the italians , fantastically suntanned , appeared in these incredible ice - blue silk tracksuits and ray - bans - we felt like we were 1 - 0 down already .\nonce the game got underway , however , england showed no signs of an inferiority complex as wilkins and kennedy set about interrupting the italians ' \u0099 rhythm , and birtles got stuck into the bruising encounter he had expected .\n[ claudio ] gentile did everything he could to stop me scoring . if anybody was wrongly named , it was him ,\nhe laughs .\nhe was one of the greatest defenders in the world but he had his methods . he was kicking and pinching and he certainly let me know in no uncertain terms that he was going to get the better of me .\nas the game wore on , bettega and scirea missed chances for the italians and england , too , came close , kennedy ' \u0099s shot crashing off the bar . but antognoni ' \u0099s influence in the italian midfield was growing , and 11 minutes from time , the fiorentina playmaker fed graziani near the left flank .\nright - back phil neal went in clumsily , and was brushed aside by the italian wide man , whose low cross was headed into the back of the net by marco tardelli . england almost snatched a point , but dino zoff brilliantly pushed out keegan ' \u0099s last - gasp overhead kick .\n\u009cit was a very quiet dressing room after the game ,\n\u009d says birtles .\nto lose to such a late goal was very flattening , and things weren ' \u0099t quite the same afterwards .\nthat evening , goals from gerets and skipper cools were enough for belgium to beat spain 2 - 1 , making the belgians ' \u0099 forthcoming clash with the hosts a decider for the final . the best greenwood ' \u0099s men could now hope for was the third - place play - off .\ngreenwood put on a brave face\n\u009ci am only pleased we have been part of a game which has shown the best of football ,\n\u0093 but england ' \u0099s difficulties were far from over .\nthe day after the match , italian newspaper tuttosport reported that keegan had accused romanian referee rainea of taking a bribe .\nnobody can take it out of my mind that he has accepted money ,\nengland ' \u0099s skipper was alleged to have said . keegan fumed that the italian press had misunderstood him , but the row rumbled on , disrupting preparations for the spain match , until finally , the journalist who had written the piece admitted he had misquoted keegan and apologised .\ncriticised for the first time as england boss , greenwood was reeling .\nif i ' \u0099ve failed , i ' \u0099ve failed ,\nfor greenwood , the knives were out . though his team managed a 2 - 1 win over spain in their final game , suddenly all of his methods were being questioned . the six changes he made for the match were seen as weakness .\ncriticised for the first time as england boss , greenwood was reeling .\nif i ' \u0099ve failed , i ' \u0099ve failed ,\n\u009d he said .\ni ' \u0099m certainly not making excuses for the team selection . we did our best , but it just wasn ' \u0099t good enough .\nnor did the players escape the accusatory fingers .\nthe media reaction upon our return was vitriolic ,\nsays steve coppell .\ni remember i was heavily criticised by former england players who ' \u0099d played in my position . it was very hurtful .\nwe were handicapped by missing out on tournaments after mexico . the germans and the italians had been there and done it over the years , and that was reflected in their performances .\ngreenwood stayed on for the final in rome , where horst hrubesch ' \u0099s late goal saw west germany beat belgium 2 - 1 . rumours that he would resign proved unfounded , but his honeymoon period was definitely over . the following season , the qualifiers for the 1982 world cup would yield three defeats and five matches without a win at wembley , the worst run in england ' \u0099s history .\nsansom agrees .\nwe were handicapped by missing out on tournaments after mexico . the germans and the italians had been there and done it over the years , and that was reflected in their performances .\ncoppell puts it rather more succinctly .\nthe italy game was always going to be the big one ,\nhe says .\nand we failed .\nbut for england , the true legacy of the 1980 european championship was far longer - lasting : hooliganism . despite the trouble , the fa optimistically made it clear they were keen to host the 1984 finals ; uefa gave the idea short shrift , awarding the tournament to france .\n' the english disease ' \u0099 overshadowed the football for more than a decade and , to this day , can cause bigger headlines than any group of players - even if they have got 19 european cup winners ' \u0099 medals .\nthis article was originally published in the june 2004 edition of fourfourtwo . subscibe !\nfourfourtwo is part of future plc , an international media group and leading digital publisher . visit our corporate site\njoe mccabe ( george reeves ) is a pharmacist who finds himself in a sticky situation when a wounded robber demands to be treated by him . rather than treating the man , joe places him under arrest and becomes a hero .\njoe\u2019s older brother , tommy ( dennis morgan ) , is a nightclub singer . in the audience for his performance one night is jerry sullivan ( gloria dickson ) , a pretty lady who finds tommy\u2019s act amusing since it parodies a police officer . jerry\u2019s family happens to be made up of cops , from her dad to her cousins . she invites him to her home for dinner , knowing they won\u2019t take too kindly to his little parody song .\ntommy begins falling for jerry , and after being humiliated in front of her family he decides to join the police academy to impress her .\ncompletely misleading promotional art makes this look like a hard -

more like a teenager ' s struggle for identity . i found it to be an excellent film . funny , touching and well - played . it deserves some international success .\namelie is a fun , entertaining and charming drama with comedic elements that is a unique film going experience . with a great story at hand , director jean - pierre jeunet crafts a film that is quite eccentric in the way that it ' s told . i don ' t want to get into comparisons here , but the film somewhat reminded me a bit of wes anderson ' s work due to the fact that it has a plateau of varied characters , whimsical story and unique style . this is an accomplished movie , one that boasts a terrific story and some splendid performances . for a romantic drama comedy , amelie succeeds at being an engaging film that will grab your attention from start to finish . i must admit , i didn ' t expect much from this film , but i was pleasantly surprised at how good the film was . audrey tautou does some great work here , and is perfect in the lead role , and i feel she brings a certain charm to her performance that really adds much more depth to the film . viewers wanting a good mix of drama and comedy , aided by a well written storyline , then this is a must see film . the film has enough wit and charm to satisfy anyone looking for a good film that is different in the way it presents a romantic story . this is a bizarre take on an old genre , and in many ways , it ' s a terrific way to tell a story . amelie has charm , and that ' s key in making a worthwhile film to watch . the acting and story go hand in hand , and for viewers looking for something different , amelie might be that film that you ' re looking for . this is a film that worth seeing , and one that exceeds expectations , and like i said , i expected to be disappointed , but i walked away enjoying it .\nkid decides to go to his friend play ' s house party , but neither of them can predict what ' s in store for them on what could be the wildest night of their lives .\nisao yukisada\u2019s \u201cgo\u201d is something like \u201cswallowtail redux\u201d : a film by a promising new director arriving in the theaters with terrific buzz , whose zainichi ( resident -

your - face violence and dazzling virtuosity of its approach , go often comes dangerously close to over - stating its case in a manner that is more cinematic flourish than verisimilitude . in this respect it ' s easy to criticise go ' s focus on the individual racism that its protagonist suffers from over the deeply ingrained institutionalised racism which ensures that even after several generations , many resident koreans are still refused japanese passports .\nforeign critics have been quick to point out japan ' s strained relationship with its neighbouring asian countries , and the prejudice faced by ethnic asians living in japan . some have stated that the issue is completely brushed under the carpet , but the truth is , go , which received a simultaneous theatrical release in japan and south korea , is not the first film treatment of the subject . nor is it the first film about discrimination directly against koreans . it is however the first major film to challenge existing preconceptions about japanese identity within such a commercial format . that it does so in such a moving and high - spirited fashion makes it even more worthy of note .\nthe film ' s supposed status as a feel - good flick originates from its ability to remind us that we ' re never alone in our failings .\ndas sam spiegel international film lab in jerusalem \u2013 das 2011 von der sam spiegel film & television school gegr\u00fcndete projektf\u00f6rderprogramm f\u00fcr filmemacher * innen \u2013 vergibt 2018 zum ersten mal den \u201eforce -

such as winnie the pooh and more recently eb white ' s stuart little - is that irony is hard to lift off the page . the slower pace of books makes for a richer experience : certainly the message of the book is more empowering to children . sadly , that slower reward may never now be attained , as the novelisation of the film , the scratch - and - stink storybook and the shrek gag book will have a far more immediate impact .\n\u201clilo & stitch\u201d originally was supposed to end with an action - packed scene featuring stitch and jumba hijacking a commercial airplane to rescue lilo from evil gantu \u2015 something that\u2019s visible in a side -

stage cancer caused he . . .\n' blow ' is a horribly dull rehashing of classics such as ' scarface ' , ' goodfellas ' and ' boogie nights ' . the problems are abundant . its plot is rambling , bloated and tediously predictable ; so many plot points are crammed into it . this poorly constructed narrative results with sorely limited characterisation ; some seemingly important characters coming and going within ten minutes , it ' s a total mess . much of the film is one long dreary drug deal , only the most immature viewer would be engaged or , even worse , allured by it . most people will watch it thinking about how it lacks the energy , sophistication and talent of all the fantastic crime films it so crudely rips off . few films are as annoyingly kitsch as this . johnny depp again proves his lack of credibility in the crime genre , his first attempt being in the similarly dull ' donnie brasco ' . i ' m not sure why rt deems his performance ' excellent ' , his feminine features just don ' t work in the genre . ray liotta plays depp ' s father , the noble working class stock character that forms the film ' s rather flimsy anti - drug message . this fails because of the aforementioned narrative issues , the film is utterly devoid of any message that resonates with the viewer . most people who like this film appear to foolishly do so because they find it ' cool ' ; much like the bonehead rappers who idolise tony montana in ' scarface ' . to make matters worse , the film also has mawkish lashings of sentimentalism towards the end . the crew had to have known how inferior this film was during production , i can imagine it was exhausting for them to complete the project with any conviction .\nmost of all , it has a star - making performance by yosuke kubozuka who , as sugihara , brings a combination of brash attitude and boyish charm , raw toughness and comic flair . after a decade of looking for its next yusaku matsuda , perhaps the japanese film industry has finally found him .\nso far , so quite like the film . and many of the themes - the friendship between shrek and the donkey , and above all the princess remaining in her ugly , bewitched state because that is beautiful to shrek - are in the film , too . but the balance is different and the message has been subtly altered . steig aimed his book at young children , whose greatest need is for parental love to be unconditional ; it tells them that accepting yourself for what you are is of the utmost importance . shrek remains true to himself , and the hideous , warty princess does too .\none executive told me that he was quite upset that his teenagers had chosen to go to bonnie and clyde rather than with him to closely observed trains . he took it as a sign of lack of maturity . i think his kids made an honest choice , and not only because bonnie and clyde is a good movie , but because it is closer to us , it has some of the qualities of indirect involvement that made us care about movies .\ngittings adds that\nby the end of the interview and the end of the film , lessard makes a personal apology for any problems his actions may have caused .\n( gittings , p . 218 ) this is one of the prime examples of alanis\nfighting back\nin her adult life .\nan exhilirating opening -

throb of japanese cinema in 2002 through his roles in laundry and ping pong , fills his role as sugihama with an affable punkish charm that is hard to resist . go ' s dramatic trajectory may be a fairly well travelled one , but in its stronger moments , such as the romantic interplay between kubozuka and shibasaki , it ' s undeniably affecting , and as such , one of the most outstandingly compelling and thought - provoking films of its year .\nthis is the semi - biographical tale of drug dealer george jung ( depp ) , who grew to be the largest distributor in the united states during the seventies and eighties . the film begins with george living the american dream amidst parents who find potential in excess , and he goes on to make a name for himself on a huge scale to appease them . the entire film feels like a psa against drug addiction and crime , easily digestible for any adverse youths who might stumble upon this while scrolling through cinemax . the ending especially , with its sad sack holier than thou approach , smelled rank of propaganda . depp gives a flat , meandering performance as jung , which only reaches its emotional plateau when his daughter is featured ( roberts ) . the film may be engaging , in the same was as\nscarface\nbut there ' s none of the punch , or unapologetic violence . morality tales often aren ' t thrill rides , and in this case this one is down for maintenance .\nalanis obomsawin is a woman of complexity . her native culture is rooted in the beauty of her early childhood on the odanak reserve and the fight against discrimination and injustice of her teenage years . as a young adult , she became a singer , educator and activist . her work with the national film board , though not without its challenges to a woman and aboriginal filmmaker , has allowed her to further her role , through film , as an educator and advocate for social change , thus living up to her name as a\npathfinder\n. she is a fighter who resonates with compassion and an understanding of the imperfection that underscores what it means to be human :\nbut , as the shakespeare quote (\n. . . a rose by any other name . . .\n) that introduces the film reminds us , it ' s all about words , meanings and contexts . shugihara is telling the story of his love , a love that is intertwined with his very particular circumstances as an outsider .\neverything about this movie impressed me . the script was lean and inventive , the direction stylish without being overblown , the acting top notch . even the shot - on - video cinematography looked great ( with the exception of one or two exterior shots that had a hint of video look to it , most everything else was\nfilmic\nand artistic ) . i also appreciate any horror movie that can generate real tension and suspense from imagination and suggestion rather than relying on lame and lazy tricks that populate most horror movies ( if something as limp as urban legends can be called a horror movie ) . first rate film and i recommend to anyone who appreciates a thinking - man ' s horror film .\nobomsawin calls film a ' place ' where native people can talk to each other about their losses , their memories of injustice , their desire to share what is good about their way of life , and with that sharing as viewers of her documentaries perhaps arrive at a better appreciation of how the dispossessed , dislocated , and disoriented try to come out of the abyss . this social realism is what makes obomsawin narratives potent and cathartic ; they are like the axiom which says one has to deal with the poison before a process of healing can begin . to her as director / producer / writer , film must attempt to transform people and society ; it must be an artifice of social reform .\nthe festival is known for its diverse film offerings : american independent , international cinema , documentaries , experimental and avant -

drug movies that hypocritically glamorize drugs can still be good ) that are also strong character studies go , this film is amazing . the energy is high , the sets , decor , costumes , hairstyles , and soundtrack are excellent , and the performances are mostly really good . it ' s a little hard to buy liotta as depp ' s dad , but it could be worse . depp is phenomenal , suplee is really pretty good , and reubens is just a riot . it seems a little contradictory that he made this about a decade after his infamous\ncrack\npsa , but he does an awesome job here . i find it sadly ironic that this movie makes the lifestyle fun and glamorous , and that the ultimate message is that drugs are bad , but that the director died of cocaine related heart problems . i ' ll admit that this movie is a mess , but i really like it . there ' s a lot of good technique and other stuff on display here , and to me , that makes up for some of its issues . it initially comes off as scorsese light , but ultimately comes into its own eventually . plus , the movie has some hilarious moments and some really great lines . it gets really depressing really fast towards the end , but it ' s mostly a fun ride .\nchihiro and her parents are moving to a small japanese town in the countryside , much to chihiro ' s dismay . on the way to their new home , chihiro ' s father makes a wrong turn and drives down a lonely one - lane road which dead - ends in front of a tunnel . her parents decide to stop the car and explore the area . they go through the tunnel and find an abandoned amusement park on the other side , with its own little town . when her parents see a restaurant with great -

mike , frankie and geoff are trying to ditch the school field trip to wales . the school nerd martin helps them out by allowing them to stay in an old war bunker for the three days on the condition that his friend liz joins them . the teens go down , party and have great fun but martin doesn ' t return to let them out and they hope and pray that someone will find them . . .\nsince then , alanis has made several other films , including one on an addictions recovery center near edmonton , one on homeless people in montr\u00e9al , and a film about a day care center in montr\u00e9al \u2014 all about aboriginal institutions serving aboriginal people . then came the events at oka , and the series of films that evolved from behind - the - scenes film footage , including the arrest of one of the individuals involved in the stand - off and a personal look at one of the\nwarriors\n, an iron worker who had worked on high rises in new york city . more recent films include is the crown at war with us ? ( 2002 ) , which depicts the violence and racial tension evident in the political events concerning the new brunswick fisheries near the mi ' kmaq community of esgenoopetitj ( burnt church ) .\nobomsawin ' s films represent a corrective to the historical exclusion of native image in film , the vast majority of it has been created without the consent and most often without the control of the native person whose image is being taken and utilized in media . i really believe alanis is using a medium to provide a voice and a story for a lot of people who historically have not had that opportunity .\nthere is such rubbish on the cable movie channels that i hit a gem with this one . from beginning to end it had me gripped and deserves top marks . father of two sons hears messages from\ngod\nto kill people who he is told are ' demons ' . when the opening credits showed the director as one of the cast that can often be a warning of a bad film ; exceptionally it is the reverse here as the drama is non - stop from beginning to end . and there is not one moment in the movie when one is not fully enthralled as there are no unnecessary or needless sub - plots , and the script is first class . all the actors give wholly convincing performances especially the lead child actor who is exceptional . this film is at least as good as the likes of ' silence of the lambs ' .\nwhen my 14 year old brother was younger , he was very much into the goosebumps books that r . l . stine was cranking out at a very rapid pace . he still has probably 75 or more of them . anyways , being an avid horror fan , and knowing full well the books were geared towards kids , i still gave them a shot . i must say r . l . stine writes like kids are idiots , or they won ' t questions things . his stories are very obvious , predictable , and sometimes down right dumb . . . my little brother quickly out grew the books , but nonetheless , my mother still has them . i can honestly say there were a few i go in to . the haunted mask being one of them . anyway , here we have a made for video movie starring christopher lloyd . he truly is the stare of the film . i must say this one wasn ' t that bad . the story was silly , but still gave a creepy halloween vibe . . . a creepy vide at all , which is missing from most stine ' s stuff . i was very disappointed with the ending . . . however , it is in true stine fashion . my wife and i watched this with my daughter , who is very intelligent , and loves saying\nscary\nin a very deep , almost demonic voice . she did that a lot though this film . she is only 21 months old , but movies like halloween , are more her speed for some reason . anyway , she seemed to like this , and i found it to be a refreshing blend of scare and fun . . . . recommend for any audience . . . decent effects , very colorful , beautiful sets . . . . overall not a bad kids flick ! 8 out of 10 2006 update : my daughter is now 6 years old and still enjoyes watching this film around halloween . it is a tradition during that time of year .\nalanis continues to work for the national film board and has also continued singing and visiting schools , prisons and communities . her best - known recording , bush lady , was released in 1988 . on a more personal note , she has raised her daughter , kisos , who is now in her thirties . she also does etchings , some of which she exhibits publicly from time to time , to help de - stress from the work of the day .\nin 1965 , the canadian broadcasting corporation ( cbc ) made a documentary on her performances and her social activism for their telescope program , which brought her to the attention of two national film board producers , wolf koenig and bob verrall . they were working on a documentary on activists and invited her to consult on this and several other projects . by 1967 , she was working on her own projects , including multimedia educational kits for the manowan and l ' hawat tribes .\nelizabeth receives her admission letter to harvard in october , before halloween . ( the party she and donnie have is a halloween party to celebrate her admission . ) however , harvard belongs to the universities that use the universal application and notification dates : applications have to be received by januay 1 and letters of acceptance ( or rejection ) are mailed on april 15 . to be coherent with harvard ' s system , the film would have to take place in april , not october .\nas a promotional tool , the creators developed an elaborate internet game of discovery and problem solving , through hidden messages and puzzles in internet sites , telephone answering messages , e - mail accounts and clues in the film ' s trailers . the game , set in the world of a . i . involved websites registered in several countries around the world as well as telephone numbers from across the us , and a group of followers called\nthe cloudmakers\nfollowed the puzzle , sharing information .\nin the film adaptation , however - even with a u certificate - the love dynamic has been made romantic . shrek and the princess are both lovable to the outside world because their love for each other renders them beautiful . shrek is changed by his love : the implication as they slip away in the pumpkin coach is that he will be a cleaner , more socialised creature from now on . it is a message of social acceptance - not the narrow focus of parental acceptance that so often provides the glue for a picture - book story .\nthis hero , sugihara , simmers with the rage that comes from being different in a society that celebrates its homogeneity and defines membership by blood . though they may be the third generation of their families in japan and they may look , talk and act like the japanese around them , sugihara and his korean pals are still excluded , in ways subtle and not so subtle , from the mainstream . they are , the film notes in a funny , fast - paced , slickly edited opening sequence , more likely to end up in a police lineup than behind a company president\u2019s desk .\nobomsawin has said that the most important part of her making kahnesatake was that ' there had to be a document that came from us . . . that was crucial . ' less than an attempt to be the definitive voice , kahnesatake was a distinct voice , one among many , and one that , finally , would allow the people under siege and their compatriots to give their side of the story . going so far as to call the film ' s approach demagogic shows a lack of clear understanding of the uses to which obomsawin ' s subjective voice is put ."]}

class horror film with deep shadows and stark contrasts . the sound design is even creepier as sanchez employs a constant high - pitched whine that would drive anyone mad if they listened to it long enough . the only points where the movie ceases to scare is when it has to force a plot point or a twist . lovely molly has a perfect closing image , but then sanchez tacks on an epilogue that breaks the carefully - constructed ambiguity of molly\u2019s illness .\ni just saw the lovely bones today & having let it set in i thought it was a tremendous film ! ! ! ok , i ' ll admit that peter jackson tried a little too much to overpower the film with cgi but that does not take anything away from the heart & emotion this film can generate . firstly the acting is absolutely superb with fine performances all round . saoirse ronan ( from my homeland -

sayers saw the level of cgi they lost interest & forgot what this film can really offer you at its core - tension , heartbreak , thrills & joy . if you really make the effort to delve into this film , you will come out with a tear in your eye . if not , then i pity you for not being able to look past the cgi blunders & see a really emotional film .\nfurthermore , the film goes so far as to characterize her as a product of this violent and sexual upbringing . lovely molly manages to do this in its few death scenes . the film is grounded in its uncertainty , and therefore the body count is significantly less than its slasher counterparts . nevertheless , the depictions of violence are inherently sexualized . when molly first attacks tim , she does so by kissing him and eventually biting his lips . when pastor bobby is killed , they make it a point to show molly naked as she surrenders her body and bobby surrenders himself to his temptations . the next shot is of bobby with bite marks all over his body and a screwdriver in the back of his head . the only other death in the film is of a young girl , who is not killed onscreen , but her body is found towards the end of the film . this could easily be read as the death of molly\u2019s innocence as a young girl .\nin the early 1920s american jews looked to undo the damage of the anti - semitic campaigns of the ku klux klan and henry ford . several feature length films with jewish themes were produced and released for general audiences during this period , including hungry hearts and his people ( both films restored by the national center for jewish film ) , and the jazz singer . the film\u2019s jewish producers wished to present \u201cthe everyday life of the jew , with emphasis on that human and sympathetic element in his nature too often overlooked . \u201d breaking home ties was the last film shot at the betzwood motion picture studio in philadelphia , pa . the film premiered in new york city in november 1922 .\na lovely day\ndocuments nine youths from oakland , california immersed in a six month hip hop music therapy workshop . the film chronicles the youth as they set out to make music that not only expresses their thoughts , but also builds a stronger community through widespread change and hope . the resiliency upheld by these teens ' voices shows that they cannot be dismissed , that they are in fact some of our most important educators in a critical time of change .\nthe question of whether\nenhanced interrogations\nwork is separate from whether they ' re moral\u2014a distinction kathryn bigelow ' s film , but not all of its critics , understands .\ni rented this in 1984 when vhr ` s were new , it may very well be the film i ever rented . i recently found it online and have only watched it now about 15x . i have always been fascinated with canoes . this film is magical . since , i have retired and moved to wawa , ontario ; a paradise , but please don ` t tell . this was filmed on my doorstep , hence the new red nova craft prospector is on order and i get to explore some of bill mason ` s favourite rivers on the north shore of lake superior . it is jan . 27 , 2012 so i have a few months to wait ! ( please don ` t die before the spring ! ) ps . . . bill ` s daughter becky mason is giving a seminar in london , ontario this weekend at nova craft canoe ( the paddle shop ) but i am too far away .\nthere are two ugly interrogation scenes in the opening minutes of zero dark thirty that haunt the rest of the experience , and that have come to haunt critical reception of the film itself .\nmy favorite film , i remember renting this from the library as a kid , i still love to watch it as much as i did then . makes me eager for canoeing season !\ni wanna know what the dead deer is all about . i also really love the weird horse imagery . on checking out the lovely molly website , it appears all this has some strange connection with a horse - headed demon , or deity , that could be possessing her . very interesting , chilling stuff .\ndirty weekend offers a british spin on the female revenge story , directed by michael winner ( death wish ) , clearly no stranger to the vigilante genre . the film follows bella who embarks on a killing spree after being plagued by a stalker . the film received a poor critical reception and was banned from video release for several years , due to its violent and sexual content .\n. it would be nice if s\u00e1nchez ' s new film lovely molly was a masterclass in this type of chiller , but despite a good performance from newcomer gretchen lodge it ' s a bit of a mess , a derivative scary movie with a jumbled plot and pointless added bits of digital video , with the red\nrec\nsign in the top right of the screen and the date pedantically and redundantly showing in the bottom left . lodge is molly , a troubled young woman who moves with her new husband back into her childhood home now her parents are dead . but the house is haunted with horrible memories . the film presents us with too many unearned revelations , and it unravels .\njeff goldstein , warner bros . domestic distribution president , acknowledged that the poor reviews hurt the film , but stressed that its a - minus cinemascore indicated that audiences were enjoying \u201ccollateral beauty . \u201d\nexcellent review . few if any movie reviews on lovely molly even hint at the idea molly is molested by her father . this is a sobering fact that today in society we are more concerned about what will entertain us than what we are ; as you put so succinctly in your closing statement \u201cnature of humanity itself . \u201d\n\u201cpatang\u201d ( \u201cthe kite\u201d ) , prashant bhargava\u2019s first feature , has a lovely , unforced quality . that\u2019s because mr . bhargava lets his story , set during the annual kite festival in ahmedabad , india , tell itself , unfolding slowly as he follows filmmaking\u2019s most basic and most sinned - against dictum : show , don\u2019t tell .\nprashant bhargava went to grade school and the kenwood academy in chicago . how did his background produce such a lovely and successful indie film in india ? he told me ,\nthe seeds for the movie were based on the memories of my uncles ' dueling kites ,\nhe said .\nin india , kite flying transcends boundaries . rich or poor , hindu or muslim , young or old \u2014 together they look toward the sky with wonder , thoughts and doubts forgotten . kite flying is meditation in its simplest form .\nis too bland , so one doesn ' t understand what the big deal about gawli is . this film only works because the magic is in the story and the lead actor ' s performance .\nhaving gone to painstaking lengths to ensure this film assigns [ madonna ] oh - so - serious directorial cred that she has sadly forsaken the very energy that makes her a megastar to this very day .\n\u201ci\u2019m disappointed , \u201d he said . \u201cbut the film plays well with an older audience , and we hope that over christmas , they\u2019ll have more free time available to go out and discover it . \u201d\nthe actor , who earned his own asian film award nomination for his turn in\nlovely man ,\nis mesmerizing as he flirts with potential johns and fights with his daughter . words are the main weapons he\u2019s been given to defend himself in a world that is exceedingly cruel to transgender people . but you see his vulnerability in the toss of that long hair courtesy of a wig , or the way he runs his finger under his eye , as if making sure the makeup is just right . these small gestures let you glimpse all the turmoil inside .\nthe package i received contained dozens of photographs depicting four riders sitting astride horses with blotted out heads , and a large carved disc . the disc prominently displays the film ' s insignia , a dagger with twin horse head quillons surrounded by symbols that resemble everything from cuneiform glyphs and norse runes to the more modern braille cells . on the back of the disc , a link pointed to a personalized invitation to argnet , stating that\nlovely molly invites you to descend into depravity . rewards like this await the first five . simple symbols await a score .\ngreater brighton has always been a magnet for film production companies from all over the world . the city provides diverse architecture , landscapes and a welcoming , can - do approach from statutory services , businesses and residents .\ni have looked for this film on and off on dvd for several years and only ever seen region specific copys , not for the uk where i am based . accidentally stumbled on your website love it watched online am currently downloading in hd having purchased mp4 . a truly fantastic film bill mason what a ledgend its dark here but i want to get my canoe out even more than usual . thanks nfb for a great resorce .\nthe dominance of the madcap side of the film ' s split personality lays an airy veneer over dolly and joseph ' s woes , making them seem inconsequential - as unsubstantial as an observation about wedding - day weather .\nben wheatley and his brighton team came back to film free fire in their home town . set in boston in 1978 , a meeting in a deserted warehouse between two gangs turns into a shootout and a game of survival\ni have just watch this film and i have so many doubts and i have more doubts after read this review the principal doubt that i have is a personage that is has not a referece in this review that is th molly mother , the molly mother is the most subtil personage in the narrative , is the molly mother the woman that apears to make oral sex in the sofa ? and who is the guy that is with the molly mother the envagelic priest ? my first theory after watch the movie is that molly is fascinated by the father and revange the mother incest by personificate ther personallity of the father by killing the two guys in the film\u2026 and another doubt is why the husban of molly tells that is sorry ? what he makes of wrong to say sorry ? but is a very strong emotional and pertubate film a deap film very intelegent\u2026 . sorry for my english gretings from portugal\nwith the critical narrative information delayed until the film ' s final moments , it ' s a waiting game for the audience , not unpleasurably spent watching the gorgeous costumes and eccentric behaviour of the family and friends of an anxious bride .\ndespite its flaws , prometheus is a visually stunning film ( well worth the extra expense of 3 - d ) that leaves the viewer pondering its themes of creation ' s longing to know its creator long after the credits have rolled .\nthe film is stylishly shot . and , in weaving the stories of wally and wallis , madonna trusts viewers to move from mood to mood , era to era without overexplanation , the way music - video editing long ago trained us to .\nashim ahluwalia : if you talk about indie cinema , it ' s really these guys working in the underbelly that are the indie players even if sometimes their films are terrible . they shoot films with no resources in five days . they use whatever they have , kitchen utensils \u2013 everything - and make films and recover their money . they are confident and are saying \u201cf - - - you\u201d to bollywood ( the mainstream hindi film industry ) . for 20 to 30 years these kind of films have been watched not just in remote rural cinemas but also in cities . audiences are watching cheap sex - horror films with titles like maut ka chehra ( the face of death ) . so these kind of filmmakers are quite ballsy . they are not intimidated by bollywood stars . i could identify with their rebellion . also , this film is not a parody . ( while researching for this subject initially as a documentary ) , hanging out with these guys i knew that i was not going to make fun of them . miss lovely is a very indian film and yet it is not typical bollywood or so - called parallel cinema .\nthis critically acclaimed documentary charts 24 hours in the ( fictional ) life of australian - born , brighton - based troubadour nick cave . laced with the joy and darkness of his music and writing , the film finds cave interacting with famous faces from his past such as his one - time contributor kylie minogue , and actor ray winstone . shot entirely in brighton , the film is as much of a love letter to the seaside city as it is to the man that inhabits it .\nthis has been my favorite film of all time . i have about worn out my video and now view it on line . as a painter and canoeist , i find bill mason ' s master piece both therapeutic for my mind and heart .\nahluwalia : the primary thing i want them to take away is that indian cinema is not all bollywood . that ' s the misconcepetion . my film wants to break that perception that we are under - educated about films . we are actually the laughing stock in terms of cinema internationally . it ' s important for us to have the language and vocabulary of cinema and be very confident . and that is what cannes seems to have picked on ( with respect to the un certain regard selection of miss lovely ) . i am already getting international feedback from observers who are now seeing that we are getting to be more confident about a new kind of cinema .\nthis film juxtaposes the romance between wallis simpson and king edward viii with a neglected woman in the twentieth century who entertains an obsession with the story . this is one of the worst films i ' ve seen in a long time . madonna is a horrid director . there is absolutely no restraint , subtlety , or character development . it ' s just bad , bad , bad . but let ' s try to take the film on its own terms . the thesis is that history remembers edward ' s abdication of the throne and lauds or judges him based on what he gave up for wallis simpson . but , the film wonders , what about what she gave up for him ? well , what did she give up ? this film doesn ' t answer its own question . some may judge simpson as a home - wrecker , but the most accurate reading of history judges british royal mores , not the actors . and because madonna has no feeling for british customs , we don ' t get to see these social pressures in action . and i still have no idea how the modern day plot informs the british plot . overall , anyone with any taste should see any other film , maybe the king ' s speech , which overlaps w . e . .\nand that ' s what happened . his film took three years of research , was seven years in the making , stars mostly non - actors and the cast improvised its takes based on the script . it flies as free and colorfully as a kite .\ndespite it ' s shortcomings , the chemistry is so strong between felicity jones and luke treadaway , that even though they spend a majority of the film apart , the connection between them carries the film . felicity is gorgeous as always , performing in such a lyrical beauty that radiates through her lack of dialogue . she is the star and even though most of her actions are mirrored off of the rest of her family , she still shines . treadaway also mostly uses his expressions to portray his character and the highlight of the film is a moment where he kindly dances with jones ' younger sister , gazing at felicity the entire time . no words are spoken , but the emotion is strong . apart from these performances ,\ncheerful weather for the wedding\nis an average dramatic comedy , with a dry , british humor and a lack of ingenuity . had the director pushed nuanced feel , the film could have been so much more impacting . instead it relies too heavily on its bright cast and too list on its substance and direction .\nahluwalia : that ' s true . for instance , ( one of the actors in miss lovely ) nawaazuddin siddiqui is playing his first lead role . i was never interested in stars and when i saw him i gave him the lead . if he becomes another irrfan khan ( acclaimed indian actor whose international credits include slumdog millionaire ) , that ' s fine , but new talent should be getting roles for what they can offer .\nin limited release , \u201cfences\u201d picked up $ 128 , 000 in two theaters . paramount is backing the adaptation of the august wilson play , with denzel washington directing the film and co - starring opposite viola davis . it cost just over $ 20 million to make .\nand this is where things get interesting in lovely man . soeriaatmadja plays with our expectations and perceptions of who cahaya and ipuy are while systematically dismantling those perceptions . both are on a steep learning curve , and as the night wears on assorted buried truths and insecurities and come to light . each makes their own specific sacrifices in order to connect with the other , however briefly , and each subtle revelation lends itself to reinterpretation of the characters .\nwatch & enjoy lovely theatrical trailer - aadi , anchal , shanvi subscribe to our youtube channel - urltoken enjoy and stay connected with us ! ! like us : urltoken follow us : urltoken circle us : urltoken subscribe aditya music channels for unlimited entertainment : aditya movies : urltoken aditya musicnmovies : urltoken aditya devotional : urltoken aditya kids : urltoken director : jaya . b producer : b . a . raju cast : aadi , anchal , shanvi . .\ndeals with the life and times of mumbai - based gangster arun gawli who is currently serving a life sentence . arjun rampal and filmmaker ashim ahluwalia collaborated for the first time for this ambitious film on gawli . from the first poster itself , one thing was clear - that\nso , how true is it ? it was a mistake for those involved in the film to suggest that zero dark thirty is\njournalistic ,\nand to have touted their access to seal team members and cia field officers . no matter how remarkable their research and access , the film spills no state secrets . no movie can tell a story like this without aggressively condensing characters and events , fictionalizing dialogue , etc . boal ' s script is just 102 pages : fewer than 10 , 000 words , the length of a longish magazine article .\na newly - wed couple move to a new home . this place was the childhood house of the wife , molly . she experienced some trauma there as a child . immediately on arrival strange frightening things begin to occur . as a recovering heroin addict , the terrifying events are put down by some to be the result of her returning to drugs . her husband is mostly away from home because of his work , leaving molly on her own . she films many things on a hand - held camera . the latest film from eduardo s\u00e1nchez , one of the co - directors of the blair witch project , is a different kind of horror film from that one but with similarities . the film opens \u00e1 la blair witch with a close up of a woman who is filming herself ; she is in terror for reasons not yet understood . the videotaped material which appears throughout is generally a clear nod to that famous film . but that ' s where the similarities end , as lovely molly is a much more traditional supernatural horror movie . it ' s one of those films where the set - up allows for several possible answers to the unknown terror . is the source of molly ' s trauma the supernatural ? her inner demons ? is it drug - induced ? by the end of the movie there are answers of sorts , although there remains an enigmatic quality . the audience are allowed to piece things together themselves . it ' s one of those pictures that you want to watch again after a first viewing to try to put together all the pieces of the puzzle . gretchen lodge is excellent in the central role . it ' s a part which demands some emotionally fraught moments . lovely molly is all about the central character , most of everything is told from her perspective . another significant contributing factor is the soundtrack . it ' s very eerie but it isn ' t typical horror music . the score is by the band tortoise who are one of the pioneers of post - rock . the atmospherics they help create are pretty significant here ; discordant humming and threatening sounds . add to this the little weird details such as the horses ' heads , the disconnected scenes of the neighbouring family or the weird shrine in the cellar . there are a lot of things to spook you out . this has to go down as an excellent return to the horror genre by s\u00e1nchez . it has a good balance of suspense , mystery , weirdness and dramatics to ensure that lovely molly is one of the more interesting horror efforts of late .\nwhile pursuing a career as a noted commercials director , ashim ahluwalia , 40 , made a name with his award - winning 2007 docu - drama john & jane revolving around india ' s call center industry servicing overseas customers . ahluwalia now tackles mumbai filmdom ' s sleazy underbelly with his latest outing miss lovely which unspools in the un certain regard section . in an interview with the hollywood reporter , ahluwalia explains how india ' s indie scene is still finding its feet .\nwritten by acclaimed novelist neil gaiman from a story developed with director dave mckean ( the gospel of us ) and featuring rob brydon , and gina mckee among the cast . the film\u2019s story revolves around a young girl from a family of circus performers who finds herself trapped in a fantasy world ."]}

julien magnat ' s thriller faces in the crowd .\nmy account was hacked . sorry about the crazy recommandations that my ' hacked ' alter ego sent unbeknownst to me . the real julien is back !\njulien temple is an english filmmaker and music video director who began his career directing the sex pistols documentary the great rock \u2018n\u2019 roll swindle ( 1979 ) .\none of the most visually distinctive filmmakers to emerge from the french national film school , julien attracted international attention with his short student film , ' the all - new adventures of chastity blade ' , which garnered him an academy award nomination in 2001 and marked him as one of france ' s rising talents . julien ' s micro - budget debut feature . . .\nborn in london , england , on november 26 , 1953 , julien temple showed little interest in film throughout much of his childhood . a troubled student who didn & apos ; t always fit in at school , temple was enrolled at king & apos ; s college , cambridge , when he discovered french filmmaker jean vigo .\nborn in london , england , in 1953 , julien temple was in his teens when he discovered his love for films and filmmaking . he cut his teeth shooting footage of the sex pistols early in the band & apos ; s run , and later directed the landmark pistols documentary the great rock \u2018n\u2019 roll swindle . in the 1980s he became a noted music video director . he & apos ; s also directed several other full - length feature films .\ni\u2019ve been putting on shows and playing characters since i was a kid . i got my first taste for the stage in 6th grade when i played huck in the stage play\nwhen i realized i could make a whole room of people laugh by \u201cplaying pretend\u201d on stage i knew that this is what i wanted to do for a living .\nand thought that the dollar baby program was an awesome idea . i immediately submitted to audition .\ni think it is the tension the audience feels as they watch the story unfold . it is very dark and controversial , but ends with the good guy getting the bad guy , which is what we all want . \ud83d\ude09\n( director ) had actors chose a scene or monologue from a stephen king screenplay and i was thrilled to have my choice in the matter . i chose the final scene in\nmax is a young director who clearly worked hard to make this production happen . i was impressed by his vision and his patience in working with everyone on set .\nthe actor who played the young boy never ran out of energy . he was running around all day , having fun , being a kid . but the moment we got the shot ready and max called \u201caction , \u201d he was a professional actor who hit all his lines every time ! honestly , he knew his lines better than i did !\nerin grote was on sound for the production and we still keep in touch . i\u2019ve also talked with max through email .\ni am currently involved in a large project with a production company i help manage called wadworth productions . it is a web series called\n. it\u2019s a comedy that follows the story lines of characters working in the service industry .\nsksm : thanks for taking the time to answer my questions . is there anything you want to say to the fans that read this interview ?\nmy name is jackie perez and i love horror . i\u2019m first and foremost a screenwriter and direct whenever i get the chance . i lived in los angeles for the past 5 years , but i just moved around the world to bahrain which has been quite the change ! i used to be a nuclear engineer in the navy before i discovered my passion for screenwriting . i love writing genre features and had my first contest win last year at\n. i also work remotely as a grants manager for stem , creative , and veteran non - profits .\nmovies had always been my escape growing up but it wasn\u2019t until i was studying at mit for undergrad that i realized filmmaking was an actual career option . of course by then i was already well underway into an environmental engineering degree . i heard eli roth speak at a preview screening of\nin late 2005 and he answered a question from an audience member about the necessity of going to film school to \u201cmake it . \u201d roth answered that it didn\u2019t make a difference if you went to film school or not , that the difference was hard work and perseverance , that he graduated with an entire class of wannabe filmmakers but he was there with a movie on the big screen because he did the crappy jobs , got experience , and kept at it . i was hooked . i was self - taught and wrote and directed three short films before graduation . when i got out of the navy , my first stop was hollywood .\ni\u2019d been developing the script for over a year but things kept getting in the way of nailing down production dates like grad school finals and wedding planning . once the honeymoon was over , the holidays hit and by the time 2018 rolled around it was now or never because i had the big overseas move looming on the horizon . my producer brian campeau ( oneninth media ) and i set a date and the train started moving .\nit turns out we were incredibly lucky with the date we chose to shoot on location at the glamis sand dunes . the day before it was extremely windy and no good for drone shots , and the day after the temperature jumped into the mid - 90s and it would have been way too hot . i was really worried because we were shooting around spring break and didn\u2019t know how tracked up the dunes would be from buggies , but we caught the perfect day in late march . it was still hot , but wind was manageable , the alexa camera didn\u2019t get damaged from any sand , and no one got sun burned or passed out . the camera kept shutting down so we lost almost an hour switching out batteries until we figured out a fix . our dp sarah phillips did an amazing job .\nwe shot one day on location on the glamis sand dunes and finished up with two days at pollution studios in los angeles . as for cost , it was the biggest budget i\u2019ve ever worked with which was awesome , but we were stuffing 20 lbs of film in a 10 lb bag so there were plenty of challenges to overcome , favors to ask , and incredibly talented people who worked for way below their normal rates .\nbecause of my proximity to the largest dunes in ca . it was a tough love decision because\nis my favorite king short story but the snowy setting was something i didn\u2019t want to compromise on and it\u2019s so much trickier working with child actors because of union rules .\nwhen i first read the story , i was drawn to the isolation theme . my longest time out to sea when i was in the navy was 84 days in between port calls on deployment . when you are crossing the pacific ocean without a ship in sight or on radar , the empty vastness is both serene and terrifying . i was wrapping up my mfa and i had never written an adaptation but i knew i wanted to put my personal stamp on the story . there are quite a few changes that were made for either creative and budgetary reasons and as a huge horror fan , i had to make it bloody .\nit took me quite some time to figure out how i wanted to approach the story , but once i made a specific character decision , a lightbulb went off and everything else clicked into place . i\u2019m really excited to hear what people think , especially those who are familiar with the source material because i wrote a very different ending ,\nand i was like \u201cwhat ? tell me everything ! \u201d i was actually angry with myself for not knowing about dollar babies being such a big fan and all , but the timing was perfect because i wouldn\u2019t have been ready as a filmmaker if i had tried to make this earlier and the final product just wouldn\u2019t have been as good . i sent in my pitch with some of the changes i wanted to make and got the ok . i think it\u2019s such an amazing way to give back to the emerging film community and i am forever thankful for the opportunity .\nreally the most special part about it was being able to come together with my friends to make something i loved and have them all supporting me and bringing my vision to life . it was extremely bittersweet knowing i\u2019d be moving but so many of my friendships deepened because of this project and i just feel so lucky to have found those friendships in the first place during my time in los angeles .\nmy goal is to get it out to as many stephen king and horror / sci - fi fans as possible within the boundaries of the option contract . we\u2019ll definitely share a trailer ( our teaser is out ) and with a strong festival showing i\u2019m hoping a lot of fans get to watch . everyone who is interested can sign up for updates on our website and we\u2019ll keep them updated on when / how / where they can watch .\nso far so good ! we\u2019re really close to locking picture and still have to finish sound design , music , and vfx so hardly anyone outside of the production has seen it but the feedback has been really positive , especially with respect to the final scene .\nwe haven\u2019t started submitting it to festivals yet since we\u2019re still in post - production , but i would love to see it screen at screamfest this year . last year i was on my honeymoon in new zealand during the festival when i found out i won an award . i mean , the honeymoon was great and all but i was so bummed to miss out on the fest ! it\u2019d be great to fly back and experience it with the cast and crew of\nsince they are all in la . another film festival i\u2019d love to have it screen at is citizen jane which is all about achieving gender parity in film and telling womens\u2019 stories . there are so many amazing female - forward and genre film festivals we want to submit to ! we\u2019ll share festival and screening updates on our facebook page and website .\n. kathy bates is magnificent and it\u2019s one of the rare books that you can read back to back with the film and still cringe even knowing what is coming next . i would have expected nothing less from william goldman adapting .\nmy all - time favorite king book is the girl who loved tom gordon . i\u2019d love to get mr . king\u2019s permission to adapt that into a screenplay , moving from the isolation of beachworld to the isolation of the maine woods . the stories i write explore the choices we make and the people we become when shit hits the fan . we either step up , shut down , or go insane . the story of survival against the odds is one of pure human instinct . resilience against fear and the unknown is universal .\ni do have to mention this : only 2 of the almost 71 feature film adaptations of king\u2019s works credit women as writers ( co - writers ) . i want to be the one that turns that dismal 3 % stat to a slightly less dismal 4 % and watch it go up and up from there . i want to also point out only 2 adapted features have been directed by women . it was inspiring seeing bridget carpenter helm 11 . 22 . 63 but i don\u2019t think i have to run through the rest of the television stats and the adaptations and remakes in development to prove that women are grossly underrepresented in the king to film and tv world . which is quite disheartening for me because he writes such amazing , complex women . i hope he\u2019ll consider my pitch to adapt trisha mcfarland\u2019s story for the big screen and i hope hollywood starts hiring more women to lead these projects .\nno , but i\u2019ll be taping a special message to go with the film when i send it to him .\nwhich is inspired by the mexican legend of the lechuza , an ancient shape - shifting woman that has sold her soul to satan in exchange for dark magical powers . the proof of concept short script was a semi - finalist in the\npeople are always surprised by the whole mit / nuclear engineer to horror screenwriter career shift . what can i say , i dream big .\nwell , my name is andrew olszewski and i am a filmmaker ! i specialize in video editing and producing . i recently graduated from\n, in chicago illinois with a bfa in film and television with a concentration in editing .\nsksm : in addition to playing a role in this film you were the producer and the editor . what was more difficult to do ?\nthe hardest part in my opinion is producing . that involves so much planning and communication that it can be overwhelming if you don\u2019t plan every single aspect of the film . editing is almost second nature to me , so i would say producing and the pre - production was the most difficult part of the film .\nmy acting role in this film was pretty minimal ( i was a thug throwing some kicks at the beginning ) but i have been acting in other films and shows for a while now . i always just thought acting was fun , and over the past year i have taken it a little more seriously .\nmy buddy max ( director ) and i had been wanting to make a larger scale film for a while now and he came across this program . we thought it was a no brainer to see what we could do with this opportunity !\ni think the weirdness of it all is what attracts people . stephen king has a way of making an audience become engaged from the very beginning . also , because it is stephen king , a viewer already knows that there is going to be a weird twist at the end !\ni sort of fell into the small part i had . instead of making it a huge deal and casting a thug , we decided i could fill the part easily enough .\nmax and i have been great friends since the beginning of college . we have a great friendship and work very well together . we have made many films together and so far and this was the biggest production to date . he is a great director and knows how to capture the moment of each and every scene .\nwell , every production has its funny moments , i think the behind the scenes video captures some of that , but overall the entire production was a great experience .\nmost everyone involved i still have at least some contact with . whether that be simply friends on facebook or friends in real life . noah sliwa was actually an old buddy from michigan that made the trip to chicago to film and help out on set , so that was pretty cool !\nmax and i are currently in post production on another film . it is called \u201c\n\u201d and explores some pretty heavy topics . we are really excited to finish the film and send it out to some film festivals , and hopefully leave an impact on viewers .\ni would say it is hard to not be a fan ! he has an amazing way to craft a story and keep a viewer on their toes . i think everyone can learn something after reading / watching a story stephen king has made .\ni love sports ! though i sit behind a computer most my days i make sure to stay active and shoot hoops when i can . also , i have a youtube channel with almost 10 million views !\nhe played in viktor hernandez \u2019s dollar baby one for the road as booth .\nmy name is robert l . edwards , i am orinally from emporia , va . i currently reside in the great charlotte , nc . i have been living in this area for 8 years . my primary occupation is a collage profesor and director of bands in addition to being an actor , i am a doctoral student pursing a doctoal degree in education and leadership . one of my strongest quilities in music is composition and arranging for bands . i am also an advocate for the performing and visual arts , especially for children and teens . i believe that the performing and visiual arts can help develop soft skills and prepare students for their profession no matter their focus .\ni wanted to become an actor since high school , but it was only a thought in the back of my head until 3 years ago . my insecurities prevented me from pursuing acting earlier in my life . music has always been my main focus until now .\nfor startes it\u2019s a story by stephen king , even people that don\u2019t like horror movies love stephen king , i\u2019m gussing because he writes for different genres . i believe that people are attacted to this story because it takes place in the same universe as his movie\n\u201d back in 1931 . since then people have always been attracted to these types of movies . i could go deeper but my statement would be longer .\ni auditioned for the role of booth . i was so excited that viktor decided to cast me for this project . when he told me that i was booked , i was so excited to be apart of a film connected to stephen king .\nviktor is a great director , i learned so much from him and his directing leadership . he knows what he want and how to communicate his vision . he is a very humble and profesional guy . once i found out about his previous works and found out that he is also a great actor i was so excited and he did not disappoint my expecations of him as a director .\nyep , trying to avoid stepping in dog poop while on set at 1 am in the moring .\ni do keep in contact with the other two actors jacqueline dorry and ligia pressley via social media from time to time . i really enjoyed working with them on this project , they are great actresses .\ni am working on two other film projects at the momento and auditioning others projects . i am also working on a film myself which i hope to start sometime by the end of this year in addition to a pilot for a reality show with an up and coming actress maritalyn frazier . my goal at this point is to conitue my acting classes , build my acting brand as well as my acting resume , and learn more about this industry .\ni\u2019m a fan , lord yes ! i have been a fan since i was a kid . i use to read stephen king\u2019s books and watched all his movies when i was younger . i\u2019ve been a fan since i first saw the move\nback in 1989 . stephen king can do no wrong in my eyes . i hope that i will be able to meet and work with him one day .\ni believe my decisi\u00f3n to pursue acting over music at this point in my life surpised a lot of family and friend . i believe that people would be more surprised that acting is a stress reliever it helps me to escape my life and live the life of someone else .\nplease support this project by watching and sharing once it has been released . i believe that the cast , myself , carmen the writer , and viktor\u2019s interptation of this story will not disappoint you .\ni am so grateful that viktor gave me the opportunity to be apart of his project and that i wish him and the other cast and crew member all the best in their future pursuits . i would like to also thank you for offering me this interview opportunity .\nin chicago . i got my degree in film producing and am looking to move to los angeles in the next few months to continue my career there . although my degree isn\u2019t focused on anything in particular , in my time at college i\u2019ve found myself more often than not at least doing the directing or cinematography for the work i\u2019m involved in , if not both .\ni\u2019ve loved movies ever since i was a little kid . i definitely grew up in a family that gave me a much greater appreciation for what film can be than i think most kids are privileged with and i\u2019ve been obsessed with the idea of creating my own movies for probably more than half my life .\nour producer and i read through all of the stories that are available for the dollar babies program and then narrowed it down between a few that we really wanted to adapt . from there it was mostly a matter of practicality ; which story did we think we could most reasonably adapt given that we are going to be working with a very small budget ?\nwas the natural cross - section of feasibility and our own personal desires . plus , i like vampires a lot .\ni began reading king\u2019s work avidly back in spring of 2017 , and while i was browsing a forum for fans of his stories , i found a thread talking about the dollar baby program . i was honestly completely dumbfounded that such an amazing program could be real . it didn\u2019t seem possible that such a great opportunity could be missed by so many other students . i still haven\u2019t met anyone in film school who knew about this program before hearing about our work on\nnot a particular moment , but i just wanted to give special thanks to one of crew members , noah sliwa . he was a friend of our producer\u2019s , and while he\u2019s not actually involved in the film industry at all , he just wanted to help out on set because he likes movies a lot . i didn\u2019t know exactly what to expect out of him but he unbelievably helpful for us , and i genuinely don\u2019t know that we would have been able to make the movie turn out as well as it did without him . if every set was full of noah\u2019s then every movie would be great . or at least better .\nas part of the stipulations for the dollar babies contract , the film is not allowed to be listed online publicly in its entirely . only 2 minutes of footage can be shown at most . as a result we\u2019ve had to keep the film hidden behind a password - protected link , which is unfortunate for all the people who may want to see it , but i do understand the importance of king protecting his properties . what he is doing already is far beyond what most writers would ever dream of doing i think . hopefully one day we can show it to everyone . i\u2019d love to see all the other dollar babies films out there as well .\neveryone at home who donated seems very happy with it from what i can tell . i\u2019m hoping it stays that way !\nwe\u2019re hoping to get into some , but no , there aren\u2019t any particular festivals we have in mind . we\u2019re still in the early stages of submitting it , we just want to keep our options open and expectations realistic .\nabsolutely ! i\u2019ve read nearly twenty of his books in 2017 alone . so far i\u2019d have to say that\nonly insofar as securing the contract . i actually just sent a dvd of the finished film to his estate a day ago , so i\u2019m hoping we\u2019ll get to hear his thoughts on it personally !\n, but it looks like amazon may have beaten me to the punch in that regard .\nthat you can find on my vimeo page pretty soon . we\u2019d like to collaborate on one or two more projects over the summer before i move out to los angeles , but really we have no concrete plans as of now .\nhe played in joseph horning \u2019s dollar baby one for the road as booth .\nwell , in a word , i\u2019m an actor . i tend to play age - appropriate roles ( read \u201cold\u201d ) for either an angry , funny , cranky , or homeless old man . most of the time i\u2019m a supporting character , rather than a lead character . i consider myself a character actor .\ni guess i really didn\u2019t\u2026 until i became one . i spent most of my life as and engineer and high school teacher . then one summer , a film company from new york was shooting a feature film in my hometown ( a film called \u201c\n\u201d ) and they needed extras . i had nothing else to do that summer , so i joined the production . literally fell in love with it the first day on set . i continued doing extra work on weekends until i retired a few years later\u2026then i started acting full - time .\n, the producer - director for a while . i answered a casting call on \u201cbackstage\u201d and went in for the audition . i loved the story , loved the character , and joseph gave me the part . it was really that simple .\noh , it\u2019s the vampires\u2026lol . i mean , we\u2019ve all read and perhaps seen the story of salem\u2019s lot . well , imagine going back to visit that \u00e1rea after 30 years . humans have long since stayed away from there\u2026 that is , until this unsuspecting family gets off the highway and ends up stuck in the middle of it all . who among us hasn\u2019t wondered how we\u2019d react to an incomprehensible , unbelievable situation that threatens us and our loved ones . how far would we go ? how much would we sacrifice ? would we survive ?\nand besides that , it\u2019s stephen king\u2026 i know i love stephen king . i assume other fans of this story do too .\nno , even though i knew the producer - director , i was still required to audition . but i really wanted this role . so , i studied hard for that audition . and i gave it my best . i guess my best was good enough , because he gave me the role .\nit was really amazing . we worked long hours in some tough conditions , but joseph kept cool and collected through it all . it really helps when the person in charge doesn\u2019t get fazed and frazzeled when things go wrong\u2026 because on a movie set , things always go wrong .\nthe story takes place in one winter\u2019s night\u2026much of it outside . so we shot in northern pennsylvania , at night , along an abandoned bridge and road , in the middle of winter . one night we shot until 3 : 30 am and it was around 9 degrees ( f , about - 12 degrees celsius ) . we were cold . we were shivering . there was snow on the ground . but we were stoked . it was that kind of set .\nmuch of our film is set in an abandoned \u201csalem\u2019s lot\u201d , 30 years after the original story . one night we were shooting along an abandoned road and we really had no facilities available . so the producer had a production assistant with a car available to run us up to a store with a restroom when we needed . that night we had several extras as vampires and while we were all warned to make the trip before we got in makeup and costume , one young lady tried to wait but had to go to the restroom after all her vampire makeup was on . well , someone noticed and called the p\u00f3lice , thinking maybe she was hurt or had been assaulted .\npretty soon we had a couple of p\u00f3lice cars on our set to check out what was going on . they actually were very nice and seemed more interested in watching us work . not many films are shot in that \u00e1rea , so they hung around for a while . but it was a little disconcerting when it\u2019s after midnight and the p\u00f3lice show up in the middle of a field . lol .\nactually , i do stay in touch with joseph , with our makeup artists , with chris wagler , one of our producers , and eric slodysko , one of the lead actors . i see others from the production from time to time , too . and we have some upcoming social events and promotional events that will get many of us back together .\n\u201d where i am the lead . i also have several other projects starting in july and august , including \u201c\n\u201d , a faith - based film from a california production company . i\u2019m very fortunate to be working several projects and will be busy for most of the summer .\ni love stephen king . i\u2019ve read most everything he has written and as i told joseph when he gave me the role , i was honored to be performing mr . king\u2019s own words . life just doesn\u2019t get much better than that .\nperhaps the most surprising thing is that i started acting later in life . most of my life i was a computer engineer and then a high school math teacher . after retiring from teaching i took up acting . my third career\u2026 and my most satisfying .\nfirst i want to thank all fans of film , especially those who take the time to watch indie film . without you , our work would all be in vain . we do this for you . yes , we enjoy what we do , but most of all we love to see the fans of our films enjoy our efforts . you make it all worth while . i hope all the fans get to see our film .\nonly that i want to thank you and the dollar baby film festival for giving me this opportunity . i hope you get to see our film and i hope you enjoy it . and , of course , a big \u201cthank you\u201d to stephen king\u2026 for the stories\u2026 for the dollar baby project\u2026 and for giving us a life time of fun and fear\u2026 he\u2019s truly an artist .\nas far back as i remember i always wanted to try acting due to being a fan of film growing up , but i was a shy child growing up . when i went to university i became involved with the\nsociety ( gust ) which give me opportunities to appear on screen , which helped me get comfortable in front of the camera .\n\u2019s meetings and i liked the idea . afterwards i talked to landon to ask if he needed any help with the project , which opened the door for my involvement .\nare relatable and there is a sense of romance involved with a loved one watching over you from the afterlife . also , it\u2019s a stephen king adaptation and the man writing is incredible , always worth seeing his adaptations .\nsomeone in the crew suggested to landon about auditioning me the part of bill , i originally came on board to help behind the scenes , however i agreed to read for the part and landon then offered me the role .\nit was a great experience , landon had a lot of great ideas and he made the cast and crew feel very welcomed during the production of the film .\n, luss which was north of glasgow and the location was beautiful . when i had arrived , landon informed me that there was a slight change in the script and that i would have to sing . as much as i enjoy singing , i\u2019m not very good at it and it took a few takes to get it right . that was a funny moment for me .\ni\u2019m still in contact with iona macritchie and i have exchanged a few messages with landon .\ni am currently starring in a new project directed and written by david campbell , which is a mockumentary about one man who wants to realise his dream of becoming a wrestler , and the hapless camera crew who follow his every move . in preparation for the role , i began my professional wrestling training at the\nwhich i am very fond of and i would argue has to be one of the best movies ever made .\ni think due to being 6ft 2\u201d people would assume i was good at sports like basketball , however i\u2019m terrible at sports . also , i think i surprise people with my cooking as i have been told i can cook a good steak .\nthank you for the interview , it has been great . i would like to say to anyone reading this who\u2019s maybe a little worried about getting into films . first of all , try and get involved with anything film related , don\u2019t worry about messing up because it\u2019s a learning experience and although the process of coming up with ideas and making them happen can be difficult , it is so rewarding seeing it all come together .\ni\u2019m viktor hernandez , i\u2019m an actor and filmmaker originally from el salvador and now residing in north carolina , usa . i have been acting professionally for over 17 years now . i have had the opportunity to be in a few big hollywood movies and just a few years back i started writing and directing .\ni think it was when i was 12 years old when i realized that i enjoyed telling stories in a unique manner . i enjoyed watching movies and wanted to be in them . the dream didn\u2019t come true until years later when i had the opportunity to become an actor and be part of a film . after acting for many years i also wanted to tell my stories and started directing my own short films just a few years back .\nwe started filming in september of 2017 and finished principal photography in march 2018 . we have had many difficulties making the film but we are hopeful that it will be finished by july 2018 . the main reason it took this long to film is due to the budget for the production . we actually had no budget to film it . everyone involved in the production donated their talent and time and expertise to make it happen , therefore we had to schedule the shoots in a way that everyone would be available without causing disruption to their other jobs or engagements . that being said , the cost to make it would be over $ 2000 plus some additional miscellaneous expenses and including some of the actors accommodations and refreshments .\ni saw a posting in one of our filmmakers groups on facebook by the writer of the adaptation ( carmen smith ) that wanted collaborators to make the short film and i submitted my name to be consider to direct it . after the producer / writer saw some of my work , she sent me the script , and i really liked the way that the suspense is built throughout the whole story without giving too much away .\ni really had no clue that something like this was available until the writer mentioned how the process worked . carmen smith had done all the paperwork and investigation before i came on board . this is a really good opportunity .\nthere were several funny moments on set , mainly having to do with the dialog and the way that it was delivered by the actors and also on occasions the way that i would try to recreate certain scenes for the actors . the special moments really happened every shoot day , with the collaboration of everyone involved in the production , but also having to get some shots using diy gear and doing some conventional make believe for several scenes .\nthat is one of the things that i wasn\u2019t aware when i signed up to direct this short . i understand that the film can be shown at film festivals and special private screenings but i think it would be nice to have a platform to show all of the work based on the short stories from this great author .\nsince we haven\u2019t finished the film , i haven\u2019t gotten any good or bad reviews so far , but its coming together and i will be open to any constructive criticism like with any of my previous work .\nwe are planning on submitting the film to several festivals in the us and other countries .\nno , since the producer carmen smith was the one who has handled all of the process regarding the dollar baby . we will send a copy to stephen king when the film is finished and we hope to get some kind of response from him .\n\u201c . it may not be easy to set up and execute , but i would like a different challenge and the surprise factor of the story is always something that gets my attention .\nright now we are still in post - production for the short film and i am doing the editing , but also i\u2019m writing another script to hopefully shoot by the end of the year . it will be another thriller .\ni imagine we are talking about stephen king fans , i would like to thank all the fans out there for having an interest to see how my version of the short story comes out . i hope that we can share it with you and all the fans that follow the dollar baby stories .\ni want to thank you for reaching out and doing this interview to allow me to talk about my project and help to get the word out . thanks a million ! ! i invite everyone that would like to find out more about my previous work or new projects to visit my website\nmy name is steven mcdonald . i am an actor living in edinburgh , scotland . i do mostly screen acting but also some stage work . i have been a songwriter for 30 years and release albums with my band\n. i am learning to direct and devise screen and stage plays just now and would also love to write novels in the future .\ni was used to performing on stage as a musician but was persuaded about 7 years ago by a friend to have a go st musical theatre . i realised quickly that i enjoyed being on stage and after having finished acting in a production of bugsy malone , i started auditioning for lead roles and found myself being cast . i decided in 2016 to turn pro and started screen acting in 2017 . i was involved in about 25 screen projects last year .\ni saw an advert by landon kestlinger and immediately contacted him . i am a huge stephen king fan and already knew the story from\n. i wanted to play the part of alden as i thought it would suit me . and it was an honour to be involved .\na lot of people think stephen king is all about horror . but that is far from the truth . this is a touching story about relationships between people who care deeply about one another . there is a supernatural element of course which adds stephen king\u2019s unique signature , however the sentimental journey of the characters for me makes it special .\ni applied online and sent a cv with links to my previous work and some headshots and stills from other film projects .\nhe was great . a pleasure working with him . he is a talented and driven director and i loved the script for\n. i felt it facilitated very well the transition from book to screen . the last lines get me every time emotionally .\nsome really special moments , mostly because i was working with great people . the cast and crew were lovely to work with . i knew carrie already so the fact we were playing family friends felt pretty natural . and it was the first time i had worked with freda but the scenes together were really enjoyable . i hope i can work with both actors and crew again .\n. the version i will be doing is in english and is based on polish folklore . i am also going to be playing live gigs over the summer with my band\nyes . huge fan . i usually download his audiobooks as he narrates a lot of them . my favourites are classics like\ni am a qualified lawyer . i practiced full time for 20 years before i turned pro as an actor .\ni really appreciate being asked and if you want to follow what i do or keep in touch i have a facebook page . see\nmy band are also on facebook . see urltoken or you can find us on apple music , spotify etc .\nthank you again for asking me to do this . and a huge thanks to landon for asking me to play alden . i really appreciate it . and a shout out too to carrie , freda and the crew . hope to see you all soon .\ni am actor local to atlanta . i have lived and travelled abroad but the film industry took a foothold here in atlanta , georgia a few years ago and so i returned to take my place in it . i am also a floral assistant , culinary and hiking enthusiast .\nhahahahaha . i want to be an actor long before i gave in to the deep desire to do so , probably 15 years ago but i tried to suppress the need and ultimately decided to pursue it professionally . you see , i tried not to be an actor because i do value stability and this is not often an industry that provides monetary or geographical consistency but my heart won . if you were born to do something it is difficult to ignore . also , film acting is a bit different because the lens strips away all facade and sees into your soul - that can be a scary thing .\ni saw a posting on actor\u2019s access and submitted an audition , i was fortunate enough to be entrusted with such a rich character as ellen .\nwe all walk around as multiple versions of ourselves and i loved seeing a duplicitous main character who is an outwardly \u201cput together\u201d woman and has a take charge / even violent alter ego . the characters all have layers and that is always attractive as it allows and audience to explore the levels of themselves too .\nstephen cast a large net and posted on actors access and luckily i was granted an audition and brought ellen to life .\nhe is a great communicator and very generous as a director . also , as the writer of the screenplay ( as adapted from stephen king ) he was not tied to his vision alone . stephen invited collaboration and watched out for our well being . he is an actors director so to speak .\nthe night we filmed not much went as planned and it was a very cold night but we huddled together and made jokes in between scenes to distract ourselves . it fostered a collegial environment in which to work and with very intense scenes like mine one needs to be able to build in a positive and safe space as well .\ni don\u2019t . atlanta is a smaller market but it is quite saturated and i can only hope to work with some of these folks in the future .\nyes i am a fan . although , i must admit that it has been at least 10 years since i have read one of his novels .\ni am an only , a middle , and and oldest child - i know that can be a bit confusing . i am quite positive that each of those rolls has helped to shape me uniquely .\nthe pleasure was mine . thank you for your support and time spent reading my thoughts . please support small film productions in your local areas and never ever convince yourself that you are too old to chase your dreams . i believe that you only live one and since you can fail at something you don\u2019t like doing , you might as well spend your life chasing what you love . be brave and live boldly .\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out

the pace is slow and the horrors are introduced just as slowly , but any faster and they would probably seem ridiculous . the film kept me watching , wanting to know what the resolution would be , but i imagine the slow pace will frustrate audiences , and they will probably feel disappointed if they watch for a resolution . the blue hour is in turns gorgeous , creepy , and frustrating\u2014more of a strange experience than a movie you\u2019d walk out of and say , \u201ci really enjoyed that ! \u201d the film is a lot of things , and it comes together well , although i have a feeling it won\u2019t be to everyone\u2019s taste . a lot of murder , not a lot of boys kissing .\nidk if most of the people who watch this film for the first time felt the same way i had which is confusion .\nnot all the narrative threads quite come together in the blue hour , and it\u2019s a huge testament to the film that it doesn\u2019t really matter . the movie is sensual , mysterious and tense . the mood draws you in deeply , and it just makes you crave for more . this is one of the few films this year i\u2019m already eager to rewatch \u2014 it\u2019s a magical world , full of hints , deceptions and paranoia .\nthis is one of the more unsettling aspects of the film : tam and phum inhabit an almost empty , haunted landscape , and seem mostly unfazed by the horrors around them , at least at first . early on , tam bashes in the head of a gun - wielding thug and seems frightened but not particularly bothered by the murder . this gives the blue hour the strange logic of a nightmare , where shadowy horrors make sense even though you can\u2019t quite grasp why .\nthe blue hour is a hard film to sort into a genre . there\u2019s a level of romance , but it\u2019s certainly not a romantic movie . maybe a very slow thriller , or a mostly pleasant horror ? actually , the closest thing to a genre that this feature from thailand falls into is a murakami novel : all vague symbolism , melancholic , alienated teenagers , and bizarre , unsettling magical realism .\nthis very welcome turn into less familiar territory means that the blue hour can abandon or at least heavily supplement its overly familiar coming - out and first - love romance angle , with several scary occurrences and twists producing both welcome and unwelcome frissons that\u2019ll keep audiences on their toes . but boonyawatana\u2019s command of the film ' s tricky , mercurial tone isn\u2019t strong enough to keep the film readable or even just engaging throughout and at almost 100 minutes , there\u2019s at least a good 15 minutes that feel like filler material .\nroger ebert ' s speech on empathy for the\n11th hour\nseries on april 9th , 1994 , being republished here in honor of his birthday june 18 .\nthough no\u00e9 didn\u2019t want to cast porn actors in love , which he insists is not a porn film .\nit\u2019s interesting that one of these meanings evokes the eye , cinema and pleasure , while the other relates to the ear , music and pain . but which of them fits \u201cthe blue hour\u201d ? take your pick . perhaps the most striking and noteworthy thing about this independent thai film is that it intertwines the two meanings so deftly and completely . in so doing , it reminds us that while films in the west usually present sexual pleasure as primarily a bodily function and a ( temporary ) flight from death , in asian cinema the same phenomenon often has a spiritual dimension that connects with , rather than flees , mortality .\non the character level , i find tam ( the sensitive one ) more relatable and believable than phum ( who ' s a victim of the film ' s dreamlike state ) . some of the dialogue seems a bit on the nose , but it ' s hard to judge these things via subtitles . also , much of the film is shot quite beautifully .\non the character level , i find tam ( the sensitive one ) more relatable and believable than phum ( who ' s a victim of the film ' s dreamlike state ) .\nsome of the dialogue seems a bit on the nose , but it ' s hard to judge these things via subtitles . also , much of the film is shot quite beautifully .\nwhen gaspar no\u00e9\u2019s love premiered in cannes last may the film\u2019s mostly unsimulated sex , all filmed in graphic 3d , had journalists reaching for their laptops .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\na collection of queer characters , representations , and sensibilities on film . from queer masterpieces to camp classics , documentaries to romantic comedies , \u2026\nwe acknowledge the support of the canada council for the arts for our publishing program .\noverall : t ' was a great and unique movie i could say since it made me feel curious and had my urge to re - watch this film .\ns / o 2 this film for showing me that true romance is taking ur bf to a haunted abandoned public pool on the first date and a garbage dump on the second one . and they say chivalry is dead !\nalthough love , strife , and horror do eventually settle into some sort of alignment , the set of messages conveyed by their combination is hardly profound : repression generates aggression , there ' s respite in tenderness , and endless stories of troubled souls can certainly invade your sleep . but while dreams obviously don ' t always follow standard logic , invoking them to justify random plot shifts feels like an awfully convenient way of papering over the arbitrary . and if , as the blue hour ' s sugary ending implies , it was indeed all just a dream , what ' s the point in falling asleep in the first place ? there are far less convoluted ways to arrive at the same obvious goal .\ni have a particular interest in the works of hitchcock , kurasawa , nolan , lynch , malick , wong kar - wai , welles , and scorsese . i am developing an interest in southeast and east asian cinema . my research areas include film and literary theory . i am currently working on the topic of film , memory , and dreams - subjectivity in cinema . and i still love spielberg and lucas .\nthe digital cinematography , with its frequently shallow depth of field , toggles smoothly between crisp and darkly suggestive images , though chapavich temnitikul \u2019s score is much better at ratcheting up the tension than at accompanying the melodrama . besides the camerawork , production designer phairot siriwat ' s atmospheric locations are the key contribution that enhance the production values of this no - doubt very modestly budgeted independent film .\nthat ' s more or less where i ' m at . i compared the movie to mulholland dr . above , but that last half - hour is more like lost highway or inland empire , really . mulholland dr . actually resolves into a pretty straightforward narrative once you look at it , which can ' t really be said for the other two movies mentioned .\nwhen i finish watching the film , my reaction was like ;\nhuh , what happen ? !\n,\nwho did this and who did that ? !\n. i was just shocked by the ending but i really did not felt horrified nor scared .\n\u201ci was in the bathroom thinking i should run to the airport and go back to the states . \u201d\nwhat could have been a clever metaphor ( internalized homophobia literalized as a ghost ) is wasted in a boring ugly - looking movie , filmed in the darkest way possible , making details , important details , fade into blackness . aesthetically , there ' s little hang onto with this film as everything is inscrutable . the cool blues and teals are omnipresent and oppressive , choking out anything else in the film . overall , it was a chore to sit through , proving that even lgbt films can be tedious .\n917 international guests , including more than 400 film industry professionals , flocked to montreal over the course of this year\u2019s three - week festival and its fronti\u00e8res market . the festival team is delighted to have welcomed over 100 international journalists , including esteemed representatives from the hollywood reporter , variety , screen international , the wall street journal , the daily beast , indiewire , and le monde .\nnot exactly the most coherent effort but i appreciate any attempt at queer storytelling within the horror genre . overall the film is very much a question mark , and i struggled to make sense of what was happening throughout , but this was a mood piece first and foremost and it certainly exceeds in crafting an unsettling atmosphere .\n\u201cthe character is not myself but he\u2019s partly me and partly all these other guys i was hanging out with when i was in film school . you can see that murphy really likes cinema with all the posters in his room ; maybe he\u2019s working as a second assistant director on a tv show . in any case the guy\u2019s full of himself . the movie is about the failure of our success . \u201d\nahh , the french . and yes , he says the sex club is real .\nthe 19th edition of the fantasia international film festival returned to concordia university\u2019s hall and j . a de s\u00e8ve theatres , and secured record numbers at montreal\u2019s mccord museum , la grand biblioth\u00e8que , yuk yuk\u2019s comedy club , and parc de la paix in the quartier des spectacles . for the sixth consecutive year , the festival succeeded in attracting more than 100 , 000 spectators for 195 indoor screenings , three outdoor screenings , eight virtual reality films , and numerous special events .\nyes to both . the stuff with the mother honestly did very little for me ; same with the stuff with the brother . for me , the imagery outweighed all of that - - the junkyard , with its writhing masses of detritus and mysterious gunmen , for instance .\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out the latest videos and trailers , and see which spy movies topped the box office in our mission : impossible guide .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\n\u201cit\u2019s the only job where you can stop a girl in the street and get her number in one second . david lynch says it gives you entry into worlds you cannot get into otherwise and it\u2019s true that being a director opens a lot of doors . it\u2019s weird how people care about being in movies . if you do a mafia film you call the mafia guy and he\u2019s going to tell you all his secret stories . \u201d\nso i also saw this twice , and it is weird , even after you accept the genre mashup going on . for example ( mild spoilers going forward ) , when a ghost , evil spirit , or whatever finally seems to appear , the tension immediately dissipates and the mood shifts from terror to sadness and hopelessness . ( not to say this scene isn ' t scary . ) what seems to be going on is that most of the events of the second half of the film represent tam ' s state of mind , not events that are really happening . the continuity problems alone are enough to indicate this . but i struggle to make sense of the ending whether it ' s real or not .\non a motorcycle that phum borrows , the boys leave the city and visit a garbage dump on land that phum says his family owns and that still could provide them a fortune . but now the place is a morbid nightmare realm out of charles dickens by way of david cronenberg . it seems to conjure all of the demons buried in tam\u2019s psyche , even as it turns up guns , corpses , criminal activity linked to tam\u2019s brother , and ghosts that connect back to certain unquiet spirits sensed at that ramshackle swimming pool , to which the film eventually returns .\nno\u00e9 would go on to make the less successful drug - drenched melo - drama , enter the void , all the while knowing it would be love that would again capture the audience\u2019s attention . yet it took some time to fund .\nthereafter , they strip down to their undershorts and plunge into the enveloping blueness of that derelict swimming pool . the action evokes baptism , rebirth , the safety of the womb and a range of other possible associations , but its main function is to unite the boys in their own world - away - from - the - world . boonyawatana shows them looking up from underneath the water , and gives us pov shots of the world above . in real life , of course , filthy water like this would be the ticket to a variety of eye ailments , but here we\u2019re meant to focus on the sensory wonderment and romantic connection .\nthe relationship only really takes off when phum subsequently shows up at tam\u2019s home , manages to remain unseen by tam\u2019s mother by climbing up to the roof , and the two start hanging out . during a trip to a garbage dump that\u2019s on land that used to belong to phum\u2019s family , the film starts to move into much darker territory , as things seem to move underneath the trash and corpses , gunmen and other assorted bogeymen seem to appear both here and in other places - - and it becomes clear that at least some of these elements might be manifestations of tam\u2019s subconscious . indeed , phum foreshadowed as much during their first meeting when he suggested there were ghosts present at the abandoned pool , a hint one should never take lightly in films from the country of filmmakers such as apichatpong weerasethakul .\nyup . i still don ' t know what this movie is . it ' s creepy . it ' s frustrating . time moves independently of the film . you ' ll think you watched three minutes of a really slow movie and 15 minutes will have passed . at other times , you ' ll insist that time has stopped altogether . i ' m not sure what this movie is , but it is fascinating .\na cannes regular , the argentina - born french director loves to shock , though in the past he had dealt more with violence .\nthe story here opens at a place and time that also evoke that crucial color . at a rundown , abandoned swimming pool , in the bluish light of dusk , two boys who look about high - school age find each other , apparently having arranged the rendezvous on the internet . tam ( attaphan poonsawas ) , the younger and prettier of the two , arrives bearing the scars of beatings by school bullies who presumably despise him for being gay . initially he seems a bit hesitant at the appearance of the more masculine and confidant phum ( oabnithi wiwattanawarang ) , who could be another assailant . but the two boys have come here for the same thing , and they are soon groping their way through their first ( clothed and non - explicit ) sexual encounter .\ni just really got curious of what really happened to the plot of the story so i basically watch the movie one more time and i just found out what this movie is all about though . lol : p\na young girl with a shady past travels to los angeles and finds herself getting mixed up in the seedy and dark underbelly of the city .\nset in london in 1977 , the plot takes place against the background of the silver jubilee . this is a buddy movie between two friends chris and caz who run a pirate radio station from a tower . . . see full synopsis \u00bb\nafter a while as glusman suggests , the sex becomes fairly matter of fact .\nmurphy ( the maiden name of no\u00e9\u2019s mother nora , born in argentina to an irish \u00e9migr\u00e9 father ) becomes a dad and the woman he loves is gone .\nthe story reveals a strong friendship between pid , arm , zee and gump . zee asks gump to hangout several times , but the latter says he has a prior commitment with nai every time . thus the . . . see full summary \u00bb\na tribute to the late tab hunter , a gay matinee idol and hollywood trailblazer .\nanyway , this was very much worth seeing . never read the reviews on netflix .\ninterestingly , love had been in the works long before irreversible and no\u00e9 had wanted the then happily married couple , current bond woman monica bellucci and vincent cassel , to star .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nin the opening scene of this , there is a really heartbreakingly intimate scene between the two leads . i loved it . that was the end of what i loved about this movie . everything else did . . . not really connect for me and was mostly boring ?\nhe is , as the late great robert palmer once put it , addicted to love .\nboth of those selections get at the thing that most grabbed me about the movie , actually : it starts off like a pretty standard coming - of - age story featuring a sensitive gay boy and his more assertive , more experienced boyfriend , and then - - about halfway through - - it takes a turn into david lynchville , circa mulholland dr . there are junkyards full of corpses , dogs who just won ' t die , possible hauntings . and all the while the movie is shot like . . . well , like a pretty standard coming - of - age story featuring a sensitive gay boy . i watched the film twice in a week and i still can ' t figure out exactly what to do with it . for all of lynch ' s weirdness , he is at least comforting in that you know what ' s coming ; his style and his content are closely aligned . what ' s interesting - - and frustrating and intriguing - - about this movie is precisely the way in which , with a couple of exceptions , style and content don ' t align .\n\u201csometimes the addiction is more self - destructive , sometimes less . there is something in the chemicals when we\u2019re in love that really drives us crazy . the movie shows that love is not only a land of pleasure and joy , but also a land of war and fear . \u201d\ni didn ' t even look at the ratings , so now i ' m a bit nervous ( the two reviews i posted are mixed - leaning - positive ) . even if it ' s a bust , though , i ' m curious to know how the movie strikes you .\ntam ( atthaphan poonsawas ) , whose bullies think nothing of leaving him beaten up and bleeding on the sports fields of their school , meets phum ( oabnithi wiwattanawarang ) at a pool complex that\u2019s abandoned and somewhat eerie but at least offers the two total privacy . they\u2019ve clearly hooked up via the internet and young tam ' s obviously not familiar with the etiquette of random trysts , though here , and despite the not - exactly - sexy surroundings , he\u2019s not shy to go after what he wants .\nin this strange and haunting ghost story , a bullied gay teenager has a steamy tryst with a stranger he met on the internet , only to have the affair take on darker and more mysterious connotations .\ntam , a victim of physical abuse at the hands of his family and classmates , meets phum , a mysterious teenage drifter , in an abandoned pool complex for a hookup . phum explains that the place is haunted before the two fool around , but a close relationship develops . tam\u2019s fragile emotional state and illness mean reality begins to fall apart , toward a world where unseen spirits threaten\u2014or aid ? \u2014the living .\nso , there ' s tam , a cute high school boy whom we meet after he ' s had a beating . in an abandoned pool , he meets phum . they exchange handies . phum tells tam to exhale all the air and submerge himself in the pool . this is the last normal thing to happen .\nthat scene where the ghost or whatever it is appears is particularly good , i think , and for precisely the reasons you mention . it ' s actually really tense - - though that may be my own inexperience with that kind of ghost - story talking - - but the tension is a build - up to something much more devastating ( and i do find the end pretty devastating , even if i don ' t understand it ) .\nsiff ' s mission is to create experiences that bring people together to discover extraordinary films from around the world . it is through the art of cinema that we foster a community that is more informed , aware , and alive .\ncheif among the festival\u2019s 22 buzzed -

2016 .\nmost of the reviews i ' ve read focus on the movie ' s interaction with lgbtq issues in thailand , and that ' s certainly a major theme . but i think it ' s only a major theme , depending on how you read the last twenty minutes or so ( which i won ' t spoil , on behalf of those who hate spoilers ) .\nglusman , who has a minor part in roland emmerich\u2019s upcoming gay drama stonewall , was thrown in at the deep end .\n\u201cgaspar had decided to start with a close up of my genitals , \u201d he recalls of the first day of shooting .\na sexy supernatural love story about a bullied loner , tam , who finds solace in the arms of phum , a boy he meets at a haunted swimming pool . phum reveals that his family ' s land has been stolen and the new found lovers imagine a perfect life together on the disputed land . haunted by a ghostly presence , tam struggles to stay connected to reality .\n\u201cthe good thing about this movie is all the people i proposed to be on - screen knew my previous movies and knew we were doing something valuable , a real movie about a real subject \u2014 love \u2014 and not something dirty , \u201d no\u00e9 says .\n\u201cit\u2019s more like a joke rather than creating a scandal . i wanted to have fun , to play with the audience . \u201d\nit does have a lot of things i like in films : gays , sad hugs , water metaphors ; but i had a hard time adjusting to the constant genre switch . surprisingly , the ending ( what an ending ) didn ' t completely lost me .\neventually the story swirls into a lynchian hellscape at half speed . you ' re bored to tears by the lethargic pace , but simultaneously there ' s nothing but entertainment . the two boys make out in a garbage dump . there ' s a body count . mold is involved . it ' s all dream logic - y and maybe not even in chronological order . somebody may have schizophrenia .\ninteresting for awhile , but it was just too enigmatic ultimately to connect with me . i did appreciate the filmmaking craft on display .\nthough he will say the ejaculation scene was 70 % as it happened and that he added one additional spray squarely aimed at audiences .\nthe ebert club is our hand -

only section on urltoken\nthing is , i don ' t think that the ending is particularly sugary . for one thing , the reality - dream stuff is so mixed up here that i ' m not convinced that the last shot isn ' t also in tam ' s head . for another - - well , on first viewing my impression was that tam was leading phum out into the water in order to commit murder - suicide ( this reading would depend on taking the death of tam ' s family as a real - world event ) . on second viewing , i was less certain . but , whatever ' s going on there , it certainly isn ' t sweetness - and - light . it isn ' t sugary .\ntam , a timid loner , is bullied regularly by his fellow pupils at school . he is met with similar rejection and suspicion within the narrow confines of his parents\u2019 dingy home , where his father beats him . one day tam arranges online to meet phum at a derelict swimming pool . they are both looking for sex , but their encounter leaves them with a feeling of comfort and security . a close bond develops between the two boys and , before long , they are roaming the rubbish heaps and dark corners of the city together , day and night . phum opens a door for tam , revealing a fantastical parallel universe full of spirits and dangerous encounters . although he feels safe and loved for the first time in his life , tam can no longer differentiate between dream and reality and finds himself increasingly drawn into a spiral of paranoia and violence . in his feature debut boonyawatana leads his protagonist into an ambiguous microcosm full of chasms , at the same time cleverly toying with the conventions of different genres .\nfor the music i gave it a 1 . 0 because honestly i don ' t really recall their being any music until the very end sadly and i was looking forward well i ' m always looking forward to music in horror movies that ' s just cause i ' m weird .\nafter a somewhat nervous and quick first sexual encounter ( nudity and sex are more often suggested than actually shown ) , the two get talking around the pool and tam reveals something of his day - to - day misery at school and at home , where his mother ( duangjai hirunsri ) whines about his father hating\nit\n( i . e . , his sexual orientation ) and wonders out loud why her son can\u2019t have any pity on her and simply ignore his desire to be with men . though it\u2019s clear why the uncomfortable scenes with tam\u2019s family are needed , boonyawatana and co - screenwriter waasuthep ketpetch don\u2019t do themselves any favors here with some extremely didactic and on - the - nose ( at least in the subtitles ) dialogue .\nit may not be\ngoo - goo eyed ,\nbut it does appear that the principals don ' t have a body hair between them . i ' ve thought before that the word\nhairless\nis often code for something else , but i haven ' t figured out quite what .\ni ' ve thought before that the word\nhairless\nis often code for something else , but i haven ' t figured out quite what .\none of the things that ' s interesting to me here - - and this is related to the genre - play alluded to above - - is the fact that these boys are very much types . if much of this movie is in tam ' s head , it makes sense to me that phum might wind up being much more typically seme ( to cross from one asian country to another ) -

generated content , such as this season - two music video ,\nbath rhymes ,\nwhich features fan animation of red and blue :\nwe were really busy finishing another project , and i didn ' t have the will power to make anything fantastic , so i was like , ' stick figures ? f * ck it . '\nthe movie of dick figures , and a big damn one at that . it was successfully kickstarted in july 2012 ( raising over $ 50 , 000 more than what they asked for ) , funding 72 minutes of film duration , and was released in september 2013 for purchase on youtube , google play , amazon , itunes , and mondo media ' s website . it also hit dvd players and blu - rays in the usa in december 2013 . for those who couldn ' t afford the purchase , they could watch it for free split into twelve parts on youtube .\nthe movie was originally set to be a 40 - minute long special , according to the\nstretch goals\nannounced for the kickstarter campaign , but the film was changed into a length of 73 minutes and was also made available for public access , possibly due to mondo ' s involvement in the film .\nmovie title : sing grade : a rating : pg , 108 minutes in a nutshell : all creatures great and small will really enjoy t . . .\nthanks to kickstarter ( applause ) , we have a way to connect directly to our audience and let the fans fund a project that they want to see . you can help us create a story that would otherwise have no way to get off the ground . and because we\u2019re making a smaller movie without a big studio overhead , we can finish it for a hundredth of the cost of a hollywood blockbuster , in a fraction of the time , and deliver it directly to you . plus we\u2019ll be filming the entire thing as we go so you can see first - hand how the creation of an animated film works , and get a never - before - seen look at the world behind dick figures .\nyekra\u2019s ace in the hole is its affiliateconnect system , by which the film will be distributed specifically towards like - minded audiences . we were curious as to how this system works and how effective it is , so we decided to sign up as affiliates for dick figures . if you previously missed the film\u2019s trailer , you can check it out below , and if you like what you see , you can purchase it right here .\npersistence . i just blurbed a great , new book by rachel nagelberg , the fifth wall , and saw it as falling within a new and exciting tradition of female philosophical fiction . gender in this case becomes a strength . great female artists and writers are incorporating emotion and thought in a way that completely transcends the small , petty \u2018personal . \u2019 bela tara\u2019s the turin horse , i think of that movie , the movie of death and the anthropocene , over and over again .\nmovie title : mr . peabody & sherman pg , 1 hour 32 minutes grade : b + in a nutshell : you may remember these l . . .\nthe lawsuit that allowed beatty to retain control of the dick tracy rights may have also scuttled all plans to revive the character in other media . in 2005 , transformers producer lorenzo di bonaventura , along with bobby newmyer and scott strauss , struck a deal with tribune to develop a live - action dick tracy tv series , which would have brought the famed detective into the present day . more powerful than tommy guns , a team of lawyers put a stop to that before it got off the ground .\ndick figures : the movie was funded via a kickstarter campaign , but mondo is pledging \u201cbigger budgets and theatrical production values\u201d to the three new features . those budgets will include large marketing campaigns that will promote each film in advance of their respective release dates . \u201can enormous global audience of teens and young adults have embraced youtube as their platform of choice for finding and elevating new talent , \u201d said mondo vp of content aaron simpson , who is in charge of the new initiative . \u201cit\u2019s only natural that they would want to see their favorite mondo shows produced on a theatrical feature length scale . \u201d\nmore recently , beatty still made some noises about his plans to make dick tracy 2 . this seems as unlikely now as it did five years ago .\n\u201cwe want to give people the option to download or stream the movie from wherever they\u2019re comfortable , from wherever they have accounts , from wherever it\u2019s easiest for them to get access to the movie , \u201d co - creator keller told mashable . \u201cwe operate in online space , so we wanted to keep it in an online space . people don\u2019t even have to leave their couches or their desks or wherever they are . \u201d\nwith all of the above in mind , it ' s almost no wonder that dick tracy 2 was an impossibility . setting aside the fact that the novelty of seeing so many of the iconic villains on screen at once ( william forsythe ' s flattop was a particularly memorable creation ) , trying to duplicate the almost absurd parade of talent on display under the makeup ( including dustin hoffman as well as gangster movie luminaries james caan and paul sorvino ) for a sequel would have been a fool ' s errand .\noriginally set to be a 40 - minute special , available only to the kickstarter backers of the official project . however , this was all changed to being a 73 - minute animated feature - length movie and having public availability ."]}

handedly responsible for making the santoor a popular classical instrument . he introduced the new chromatic arrangement of notes and increased the range to cover full three octaves . he also improvised a new technique of playing with which he could sustain notes and maintain sound continuity . he is the sole musician to have brought santoor at par with other classical instruments and established it across the globe with his sheer brilliance and conviction . he is among those rare classical musicians who have been able to achieve success in the world of film music as well . his compositions for blockbusters such as \u2018silsila\u2019 and \u2018chandni\u2019 are a manifestation of his musical brilliance . with his creative genius , he has created a new genre of instrumental music . through his performances over a period of more than half a century , he has created millions of new listeners and ardent fans of indian classical music .\nhe started learning music at the age of five . initially , he learnt playing tabla and was trained to be a vocalist by his father and guru . when he was 12 , he started playing at the local radio station in jammu .\nhis father did extensive research on santoor , a string musical instrument , and dreamt of his son becoming the first musician to play indian classical music on it . when he was 13 , he started learning santoor to fulfill his father\u2019s dream .\nin 1955 , he delivered his first public performance in bombay ( present day mumbai ) . following year , he composed the background music for one of the scenes for the movie \u2018jhanak jhanak payal baje\u2019 . his first solo album was recorded in 1960 .\nin 1967 , he teamed up with flautist hariprasad chaurasia and musician brij bhushan kabra , to produce a concept album titled \u2018call of the valley\u2019 . the album turned out to be one of the greatest hits in indian classical music .\nthroughout his career , he released numerous innovative experimental albums on santoor music including \u2018the glory of strings \u2013 santoor\u2019 ( 1991 ) , \u2018varsh\u0101 -

hari ' music duo .\nin 2002 , he published his autobiography titled \u2018journey with a hundred strings : my life in music\u2019 . he continues to teach santoor music in the guru shishya tradition , without charging a fee from his students , who come to him from all the corners of india as well as different parts of the world like japan , germany , australia and america .\nhis most significant contribution to music has been towards the popularization of the folk classical instrument \u2018santoor\u2019 . he carried out experiments with santoor for many years to make it more suitable for his classical technique . the modified santoor which is played in present days has got 31 bridges with a total of 91 strings . it has got a range of three octaves with a chromatic tuning . he is also known for creating a technique for smoother gliding between music notes in order to imitate human voice quality .\nin 1985 , he was awarded an honorary citizenship of the city of baltimore , usa .\nin 1986 , he received the \u2018sangeet natak akademi award\u2019 , the highest indian recognition given to practicing artists . it is awarded by the sangeet natak akademi , india ' s national academy of music , dance & drama .\nin 1990 , he was awarded the \u2018maharashtra gaurav puraskar\u2019 . the following year , he received the honorary doctorate from the university of jammu .\nin 1991 , he was conferred with the \u2018padma shri\u2019 , the fourth highest civilian award in the republic of india .\nhe also received a \u2018special award for outstanding music and sale of film\u2019 for 1991 romantic film \u2018lamhe\u2019 and 1993 romantic psychological thriller film \u2018darr\u2019 .\nin 1998 , he became the winner of the \u2018ustad hafiz ali khan award\u2019 .\nin 2001 , he became the recipient of \u2018padma vibhusan\u2019 , the second highest civilian award in the republic of india .\nhe married manorama and the couple is blessed with two sons . one of his sons , rahul , is also a delightful santoor player and the father -

depth research , he made some important modifications on this hundred stringed instrument , like a new chromatic arrangement of notes and increased the range to cover full three octaves . besides , he also created a new technique of playing with which he could sustain notes and maintain sound continuity . today santoor is at par with any classical instrument , well established not just all over india , but across the globe .\nwith his creative genius , pt . shivkumar sharma has created a new genre of instrumental music . through his performance career of over a half century , he has created millions of new listeners and ardent fans of indian classical music . his performances are such a brilliant combination of rich knowledge , perfect skill and abundant spontaneous creativity , that all the sections of listeners feel enriched . little surprise that his concerts are awaited by connoisseurs , music students , musicians and lay listeners alike .\nhe believes in the immortality of this great heritage of indian classical music and wishes to leave no stone unturned to make it so . with this aim in mind , he has been imparting his knowledge to the next generation of musicians . so deep is his conviction that despite no institutional or government support , he has been teaching in the guru shishya tradition , without charging a fee from his students , who come to him from all the corners of india as well as different parts of the world like japan , germany , australia and america .\nwhile he never compromises on the purity of music , pt . sharma\u2019s open minded approach has resulted in some of the most popular , innovative experimental albums like call of the valley , feelings , mountains , etc . in fact he is among those rare musicians who have been able to create successfully in the world of film music as well . now for over forty years santoor is an indispensable part of indian film music . his compositions for blockbusters like silsila , lamhe , chandni , darr , etc . are all time favourites across the country .\nmusic , he believes , is food for the soul . naturally , his music is meditative and soothing at the same time . his immense faith in the ancient wisdom of vedanta has resulted in creation of music for shlokas from the upanishads and a new raag called antardhwani .\nhtml public\n- / / softquad / / dtd hotmetal pro 4 . 0 : : 19971010 : : extensions to html 4 . 0 / / en\nhmpro4 . dtd\npandit shiv kumar sharma is a very famous and respected instrumentalist . he plays the santoor . read this article to know more about his life and works .\nasha bhonsle a . r . rahman dr . k . j . yesudas k . l . saigal k . s . chitra kishore kumar lata mangeshkar mohammed rafi mukesh s . janaki\nshe entered the kannada film industry through vamshavriksha directed by b . v . karanth and girish karnad . her next venture was kaadu directed by girish karnad . she made her debut in a commercial production through kesarina kamala .\nsudhir , born in palakkad ( kerala ) has spent all his life in delhi and hyderabad . he had a long stint at ndtv ( for 16 years from february 1995 -

which is letters . lettering is something for which we here at wild style technicians have a passion . hip hop culture is also something for which we have a passion . a passion which was lacking from the ownership of most other brands . we wanted to create something which was non - corporate where the artists were the ones making the money . not some one who ' s only true interest in the culture and artform is to see how much it can be milked in order to enhance their own personal financial gain .\nwild style\u2019 s legacy most assuredly isn\u2019t its plot or acting , both of which function primarily as a means to an end . cut out about 15 minutes of hastily improvised narrative scenes , and it\u2019s fundamentally a brilliant hourlong documentary \u00e0 la style wars , which was released the same year . in a sometimes ingratiatingly amateurish lead performance , graffiti legend lee quinones plays a mysterious , much -

album hip - hop . as a time capsule and a sociological document , it\u2019s difficult to overstate its importance , but it\u2019s also tremendous fun . the film anticipates the youtube era by stressing wonderful moments and stand - alone sequences over an overarching narrative .\nwild style fundamentally respects hip - hop and hip - hop culture . that respect extends to illustrating the interconnectedness of hip - hop\u2019s elements : wild style gets on a subconscious level the difficult - to - explain but profound symbiotic relationship between rapping , breakdancing , graffiti , and djing . writer - director - producer charles ahearn , who conceived the film with fred \u201cfab 5 freddy\u201d braithwaite , who also appears in a major supporting role as flashy impresario \u201cphade , \u201d captures how all these indigenous american art forms sprang up out of the ugliness and devastation of the bronx in the late 1970s and 1980s . when new york and the rest of the united states turned their back on the bronx and left it to rot , a generation of brilliant street kids created poetry out of the ruins .\nwild style fulfills early hip - hop fans\u2019 giddy fantasies by having rival crews cold crush brothers and fantastic freaks battle each other a cappella at a playground , then goes even further by having the crews battle each other lyrically while playing basketball . the brothers\u2019 regrettable lack of studio output renders their scene - stealing appearance here their most revisitable contribution to hip - hop , but it\u2019s still a hell of a contribution .\nto hear photographer shoichi aoki describe it , what killed tokyo\u2019s famous harajuku style was basically what happens when a glut of factories set up shop at the head of a river that feeds vital waterways .\n\u201cbut these girls had made a style that was completely theirs , \u201d aoki says , describing how they mixed japanese styles and motifs with western clothes , to create an image that wasn\u2019t dictated by any brands . \u201cthis kind of adventurousness was unheard of , \u201d he recalled . \u201ci had never seen yellow hair before . these completely new girls appeared and seemed to have the potential to make a new style that had never existed previously in japan . what\u2019s more , this new style was coming from the street , and i had a feeling that this was the first time for this to happen in japanese fashion history . \u201d\nwild style put the electricity and funky energy of what was bubbling up on new york streets into a sometimes - creaky narrative frame . thirty years later , that frame still feels a little silly , but the riveting music , graffiti , dancing , and djing inside it couldn\u2019t feel more essential or relevant . the silly plot and corny acting can be laughed off , but the art that emerged out of the ugliness and hopelessness of the bronx endures .\na 10 -

mannered bronx teen - ager by day and , by night , the notorious ' ' zorro , ' ' a celebrated but unidentified spray - paint artist for whom every subway car is an empty canvas . raymond scorns his fellow graffiti artists who turn their talents to legitimate , commissioned murals on the walls of playgrounds and business establishments .\nw . david marx , who traced the history of japanese menswear appropriating american style in his book ametora , says when he first traveled to tokyo in 1998 , the kids aoki was capturing were all over harajuku . their style gained attention in wider japan through figures such as entertainer tomoe shinohara , and commercial magazines including cutie , zipper , and kera . but fruits had arguably been there first , and became an authoritative chronicle of the look .\nthat\u2019s the kind of hip - hop that was celebrated in\nwild style ,\na 1982 movie that prominently featured crazy legs and the rock steady crew . at the time of the movie\u2019s filming , sharp distinctions weren\u2019t yet drawn between b -

budget project , shot on the streets ( and elevated train tracks ) of new york city in 1981 - 82 , captures the birth of rap and hip - hop culture , and the energy on display is palpable \u2014 it\u2019s that gleam in the eyes of someone who knows they\u2019re riding a wave of fresh , vital energy . this was a point in time when the scene was still so underground that an uptown white liberal could ask with a straight face about \u201cthat rat music . \u201d\nsome elements on your site can be controlled by more than one setting . for example , a heading formatted using the h4 style that ' s also a link can be controlled using either the general formatting > h4 setting or the general formatting > link setting .\nis authentic -

harajuku - kei .\nthe impact was huge : tokyo hip - hop icon dj krush is but one of many who cite \u201cwild style\u201d as life - changing . brathwaite recalls going to a club in kyoto where \u201cone of our djs gave a little demonstration on the turntables . and like anybody at this time , they\u2019d never seen anything like it . most people would stand around looking at the dj like \u2018how you doing that ? \u2019 literally not more than a week later , we were back in the same club , and we walked in and we were like , \u2018wait a minute , is somebody scratching ? \u2019\nway before diddy ' s yacht and cristal champagne - even before dr dre and west coast gangster rap - hip hop was a micro youth culture played out in nyc basements . wild style takes you to the source of a street movement that conquered the world ; it ' s a panoply of freestyle mcs , breakdancing , and graffiti sprayed subway trains . all that is interspersed with a half - hearted fictional plot , in which red hot graffiti artist zorro struggles with his family ' s disapproval , and encounters uptown journalist virginia ( played by then queen of the east village , patti astor ) .\nmasuda has gone on to design several buildings that embody the look that has come to represent harajuku , such as the kawaii monster cafe , which attracts tourists eager for a glimpse of the harajuku stereotype . kawaii seems to be the style that has most come to represent harajuku abroad .\nfrom its opening scenes , \u201cwild style\u201d captures a scruffier nyc in a lost age before mayor rudy giuliani , with three - card monte scammers in times square , trains covered in elaborate graffiti , and the bronx looking like a war zone . sartorially , this was before the commodification of hip - hop : before xxl sizes , athletic wear and the global spread of mtv . it\u2019s a surprise to see all the denizens of this nascent scene dressed as fairly typical late \u201970s youths , randomly attired in levi\u2019s , plaid shirts and even crewneck sweaters , with the emcees looking more like back - up singers for a funk outfit .\nzoro , the city ' s hottest and most elusive graffiti writer . the actual story of the movie concerns the tension between zoro ' s passion for his art and his personal life , particularly his strained relationship with fellow artist rose . but this isn ' t why one watches wild style - - this movie is * the * classic hip - hop flick , full of great subway shots , breakdancing , freestyle mcing and rare footage of one of the godfathers of hip - hop , grandmaster flash , pulling off an awesome scratch - mix set on a pair of ancient turntables . a must - see for anyone interested in hip - hop music and culture .\nthe acting is stilted - hardly a surprise seeing as ahearn used the scene ' s genuine figures , instead of actors - and the story almost non - existent . but that isn ' t the point , wild style is a cult classic - indisputably the most important hip hop movie , ever - because it documents so vividly the origins of a street movement that became the dominant force in mainstream pop culture . you ' ll see grandmaster flash at the decks , busy bee on the mic , and breakdancers the rock steady crew on the floor . it ' s a bona - fide piece of cultural history . if you love hip hop , this is unmissable .\nbut harajuku has changed . that frenetic signature image has been co - opted and commercialized by corporations , celebrities , and attention - seekers , and ultimately replaced by one more conservative and less unique among tokyo\u2019s style - conscious kids . these days , they\u2019re more likely to wear mass - market clothing from uniqlo and other international clothing chains .\nquickly , a variety of style subcultures emerged\u2014each with its own rules and hangouts . these included kawaii , meaning \u201ccute\u201d ; wamono , which mixed elements of western and traditional japanese dress ; loligoth , an amalgam of lolita and gothic ; futuristic cyberpunk ; hyper - colorful decora ; and others . plenty of dressed - up kids also defied definition .\nin the 1990s , the area was the epicenter of a new look that came to symbolize the uninhibited essence of japan\u2019s fashion - forward youth culture . an eclectic , unruly overload of influences , sometimes colorful as a pinwheel , exaggerated and accessorized to cartoonish effect , harajuku style has come to represent japanese fashion\u2014and indeed japan\u2014to much of the rest of the globe .\nthere are few better ways to discover africa ' s spectacular wildlife than with travel company abercrombie & kent , whose founder geoffrey kent spearheaded the way for responsible , luxury safaris . its africa by private jet expedition takes you on an expert -

hop duo double trouble spitting a tag - team a cappella rap while sitting on a front stoop , have reappeared , in altered form , in commercials , music videos , movies , and albums . wonderfully slangy , evocative throwaway lines like \u201ci\u2019m just gonna munch up a little bit\u201d ( a funky hip - hop way to say \u201ci\u2019m getting a snack\u201d ) have been immortalized through their sampling on albums like mf doom\u2019s mm . . food ?\nthe exact reasons for the decline of harajuku\u2019s unique style aren\u2019t entirely clear . aoki describes the 1998 closure of his subjects\u2019 sunday gathering spot , the hokosha tengoku \u201cpedestrian paradise , \u201d as a punch to the chest . after that , the area lost some of its magnetism , and international fashion chains had started moving in . \u201cthis small fountainhead was overwhelmed with callous businesses , \u201d he says .\nif you think you are a true hip hop fan and when i talk about wild style and you are asking me\nwhat ?\n, then something must be wrong . . . wild style is the first and true hip hop documentary / film about a culture that remained one of the strongest of the past few decades . never has there been an artform of music that was just basically made of other music styles , but has managed to grow and evolve on its own . if you want to understand the basic elements of hip hop ( rappin ' , djin ' , breakdancin ' & grafitti ) then don ' t look any further , here ' s what you need . as one of the top titles wanted on my\nplease - release - it - on - dvd - list\n, this movie is not a movie in its real form . because it was pretty much lowbudget , it has a feel of documentary , but it certainly has a story . not very much , but the knowledge that almost everyone of the cast was / is someone in the hip hop community 1982 , makes this title very interesting to see what they contribute to this movie , and hip hop in general . you ' ve probably read the plot outlines in other reviews , so i won ' t tell you anything you ' ve already read in those reviews . all i can say is , if you wanna know what the true meaning is of hip hop , instead of the bling - bling type o ' hip hop which is totally ( well , almost totally ) commercialised , see if you can get a copy of this movie and\ntake a trip down memory lane\n, like my man nas said in his 1994 dj premier produced cut\nmemory lane ( sitting in da park )\n, another hip hop gem . . recommended ! !\nin 1997 , at the same time that streetwear was gaining mass popularity , another look was spreading around ura - harajuku and omotesand\u014d . what prompted aoki to start the magazine were three girls he spotted , who to him represented something new . for years , tokyo\u2019s stylish art and fashion school kids had opted for the cerebral , mostly black look of comme des gar\u00e7ons and yamamoto . vivienne westwood and london street style also exerted their influence .\nthat\u2019s not to say that tokyo , and harajuku specifically , has lost its sense of style . creative fashion is still more part of the culture in japan than , say , in the us , and there are plenty of well - dressed people on the streets of harajuku to photograph . but fewer of them are dressing in an artistic way that pushes boundaries , and fewer still in the very specific mode fruits started capturing 20 years ago .\nthe all -

spins , wild windmills , sudden drops and cross - arm stances . the great new york hip - hop emcees of the mid - \u201980s mimicked the swagger of rock steady . so influential was the bronx - born group that it spun off franchises in cities as far away as tokyo .\nthis year\u2019s lineup is similarly inspired . more than 30 rappers , record spinners and breakers will appear at the event . epmd , whose\nstrictly business\ntugged \u201980s hip -

spitting rhymers from trenton\u2019s poor righteous teachers ; pacewon , one of the voices of newark\u2019s outsidaz , should draw a brick city crowd to the park . dj evil dee of the beatminerz will take his place behind the turntables , as will the roots\u2019 proud - maned drummer questlove . rahzel , the roots\u2019 original beatboxer and a longtime affiliate of the rock steady crew , will be there , too ; the incendiary jane grae , another roots affiliate , will add a female voice to a male -

- inexcusable in a film about music - - except when hip - hop takes over , and ahearn wisely gives plenty of screen time to the likes of busy bee , rock steady crew , and fab five freddy .\nas a time capsule and a sociological document , it ' s difficult to overstate its importance , but it ' s also tremendous fun .\nit ' s great to see again this bolt of ghetto joy , a kind of updated west side story , that shows hip - hop as a living , breathing expression of cultural resistance rather than a crunky , cheerless set of cruddy grunts and boasts from which to make money .\nnothing else comes close to capturing the atmosphere of the early days of hip - hop and spraycan art , of the burned - out and derelict bronx .\nthis unpolished but authentic film , a drama with the honesty of a documentary , shows hip - hop pure and unvarnished .\nwhen helen molesworth , chief curator at the institute of contemporary art , examined the contemporary art world , she found that the 1980s remained vastly overlooked .\na stainless steel sculpture titled \u201crabbit\u201d by jeff koons is on display in the \u201cdesire and longing\u201d section of the exhibit . photo courtesy marianne boesky gallery and donald moffett\n\u201cwhy is our memory of the \u201880s kind of a cringe of embarrassment ? \u201d molesworth said .\npop culture depicts the \u201880s as a collection of fleeting fads , bad pop , hair perms , the rubik\u2019s cube , hair metal and neon everything . but at a closer glance , the \u201880s were a transformative , tumultuous decade . women began carving out a more solid place next to men not only in the workplace , but in the world of art as well . mass media publicized the private sphere and strengthened the desire for social justice and democracy that had emerged in the heady 1970s social movements . the aids crisis at the end of the decade ignited feelings of loss and longing .\nmolesworth sought to capture all this in the unprecedented four - part 1980s exhibition that opens at the ica today . the exhibit itself \u2014 broken down as \u201cgender trouble , \u201d \u201cthe end is near , \u201d \u201cdemocracy\u201d and \u201cdesire and longing , \u201d \u2014 is unexpectedly relevant . and though molesworth nailed it , she said the exhibit is merely a first shot at what an \u201880s show might be .\n\u201cthis is the \u201880s , \u201d she said . \u201cit\u2019s my \u201880s . it\u2019s a lot of people\u2019s \u201880s . \u201d\nthe exhibition covers 1979 through 1992 and includes work by david hammons , hans haacke , cady noland and guerrilla girls . this will have been : art , love and politics in the 1980s captures the very recent history and perhaps the last especially memorable decade perfectly because not only is it full of tangible studio art , but it also contains videos and sound clips . molesworth said that a 1980s art exhibit would fail to capture the first ever truly mediated decade if it didn\u2019t include these elements .\nin the same section , the american cowboy , a classic portrayal of man , is ridiculed and shows the 1980s rejection of old definitions of masculinity .\n\u201cthe end is near\u201d grasps the apocalyptic tone of the \u201880s . modernism was at the end of its road . traditional conservatism was dead to the art world despite president ronald reagan\u2019s threat to bring it back . by then , concepts from the 1960s were hackneyed , too . in a five - minute video , christian marclay plays jimi hendrix\u2019s version of the \u201cstar spangled banner\u201d from woodstock on a turntable , simplifying and mocking the long , narcissistic guitar solos . punk\u2019s brevity at the time sought to do the same .\nthe perfectly vain jeff koons \u201crabbit\u201d sculpture stands in the center of the \u201cdesire and longing\u201d part of the show . viewers themselves are reflected off the stainless steel , and they get to have their own personal moment of self - desire \u2014 a concept the \u201880s grappled with . aids wallpaper is featured on another wall .\n\u201cit\u2019s doing what aids was \u2014 a constant backdrop against which everything happened , \u201d molesworth said .\nmolesworth\u2019s exhibition is a bold and well - composed , setting a high standard for period exhibits to come . the first of its kind , it is an eye - opening depiction of the 1980s art world as progressive , inspiring and heart - wrenching .\nthis will have been : art , love & politics in the 1980s is on display at the ica from thursday , nov . 15 to march 3 .\nthis is an account occasionally used by the daily free press editors to post archived posts from previous iterations of the site or otherwise for special circumstance publications . see authorship info on the byline at the top of the page .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nzoro , the city ' s hottest and most elusive graffiti writer . the actual story of the movie concerns the tension between zoro ' s passion for his art and his personal life , particularly his . . . see full summary \u00bb\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\na documentary that exposes the rich growing subculture of hip -

sales outpaced that of the jungle book . the original film was however never widely popular in the country . although china has occasionally blocked gay - themed content from streaming video services , in this case , chinese censors decided to leave the gay scene intact . according to local box office tracker ent group , the film grossed an estimated $ 12 . 1 million on its opening day ( friday ) , representing 70 % of the total receipts . including previews , it made a total of $ 14 . 5 million from 100 , 000 screenings , which is 43 % of all screenings in the country . it climbed to $ 18 . 5 million on saturday ( 102 , 700 showings ) for a three day total of $ 42 . 6 million , securing 60 % of the total marketplace . disney on the other hand reported a different figure of $ 44 . 8 million . either ways , it recorded the second biggest opening for a disney live -

neglected since age six - and deals with girl friend marlene . herbert is lucky with great home assistant steffen , even gets to cheer protege eddy to his title as last sportive achievement .\nresponsible for producing some of the uk\u2019s most celebrated film and television , mark\u2019s work has found success internationally and has inspired the confidence of highly creative directors working at the cutting edge of film . in 2002 mark produced chris morris\u2019 bafta - winning short film my wrongs # 8245 - 8249 & 117 for warp films . he followed this with his , and warp films , debut feature dead man\u2019s shoes , directed by shane meadows . it was nominated for a record eight british independent film awards and won the hitchcock d\u2019or at the dinard festival .\nthough not to suggest that a great film adaption is impossible , herbert\u2019s novel was and continues to be powerful because of what it shows through the imagination of the author and the relevance it bears to the reader . no amount of filmmaking technology or budgetary expenditures will ever be able to provide dune with the kind of scope and magnitude of its story , or at least not without sacrificing some crucial part . that\u2019s the thing with book , too . herbert\u2019s carefully constructed ecology of people , plants , animals , politics , cultures , and belief systems is not unlike any ecological system where even the smallest change eventually becomes a vast deviation from the norm .\ncharlatan or clown ? innocent or insidious ? terrorist or trickster ? there are indeed many ways of describing herbert sarkar - - a forty year old crank who thinks that he can talk to the dead . herbert grew up in north kolkata , feeding on the charity of relatives , and being the butt of local jokes . he declares one day that he has received a message in a dream that has told him where his long dead cousin binus diary is hidden . people are surprised and amused . but when this prediction proves to be true , herbert becomes a local sensation . he sets up a roaring business called\ndialogues with the dead\nfor three years and for the first time in his life , earns money and the respect of others . however , his luck runs out when the international rationalist society declares him a fraud and threatens to turn him over to the law unless he closes shop . this deeply affects herbert and he commits suicide that very night . however , his celebrity power increases to unprecedented levels the day after his . . .\noverstating the doomed from the outset nadir of lynch\u2019s film is like second nature to the sci - fi hive mind , with whole blogs dedicated to the cause of beating the film equivalent of a dead horse . what\u2019s rarely mentioned\u2014at least without a snort and obscure reference to the fremen doctrine of not giving a fuck about anything but water\u2014is that lynch\u2019s dune is a de facto illustration of what can go horribly awry when desperation is the driving point for making a film , even more so when that film is based on one of the most cherished books of the century .\nhis father was a drunk and his mother a seamstress . herbert maximised his talents to reinvent himself as the british stephen king . despite his achievements it still rankles with him that \u2013 unlike his american rival \u2013 only four of his books have been made into films .\nwhen his father died 16 years ago aged 86 , herbert scattered his ashes in his garden at the foot of a plum tree . \u201che loved a drink so i took a bottle of really good single malt \u2013 a present from uri geller \u2013 and two tumblers .\nit is also undeniable that the passion of the cast and the characters created by meadows is second to none . the director told film 4 :\nthis feature documentary is a portrait of herbert norman , the canadian ambassador to egypt who leapt to his death in 1957 . during his remarkable career , norman had been a trusted aide of general macarthur in post - war japan and later played a key role in the suez crisis . but for years , a us senate subcommittee probed his past while the fbi accumulated a huge file on him , refusing to accept an rcmp investigation that cleared him of being a communist spy . interviews with key players and dramatizations help reconstruct herbert norman ' s life .\nthe agnsw remains the only venue , limited as its selections were , where something resembling cinematheque activity occurs in sydney . it can only be hoped that robert herbert has left a legacy of quality presentation , interesting programming and rigourous screening conditions that will be continued in the future .\navant - garde , experimental and largely dialogue - free spanish documentary shot during the making of jess franco ' s count dracula , starring christopher lee . the unique look of the film , similar to that of early expressionist horror films , is down to the high contrast black & white film stock used .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nmeadows often prefers to work with undiscovered and amateur actors , and for most of the cast in the film this was their first experience of professional acting .\nbased on bram stoker ' s bestseller , the film follows count dracula as an old man who grows younger by feeding on the blood of young maidens .\neditor ' s note : veteran cinephile barrie pattison has sent in over 150 reviews for the delectation of film alert readers . he is an invet . . .\nand now for something completely different . \u201cherbert , \u201d a mad , messy and frequently amazing epic from india , features many of the qualities you expect from bollywood : garish verve , dizzy excess , punishing duration , wild leaps in narrative tone and structure . but that\u2019s the simple part . .\nfor ardent fans of herbert\u2019s book , the suggestion that paul was a supernatural being able to bless the planet and the fremen with these strange sky tears , was an intolerable and unnecessary addition by way of omission from lynch . the primary issue with the film\u2019s interpretation of paul\u2019s character is that it overstates the heroism to imply the helplessness of the fremen , a point fiercely contrasted by how completely self - sufficient and self - sustaining the arrakeen indigenous culture had been for generations .\nfor as long as i\u2019ve been in sydney robert was the face and the engine of the agnsw screening program and for that program to be done robert was required to be all things . the gallery theatre has not moved into the 21 st century and its film program was entirely reliant on 16mm and 35mm film . robert\u2019s sources at the various cultural institutions ( the nfsa , the cultural departments of the major european governments chief among many ) supplied him with film for an extensive near weekly program .\nherbert ' s book offered a meticulously detailed saga of a dark future where royal houses war for control of the desert planet arrakis and its precious resource , the spice melange . fitting all of that tale into movie length proved comically impossible for jodorowsky . lynch\u2019s film palpably suffers from numerous cuts and recuts to the final edit , which clocks in at two hours and 17 minutes . so instead of showing not telling the story , the movie relies on a flurry of voiceover and breathy exposition . like this :\nto be fair , that distorted view of paul by lynch or one of the umpteen screenwriters who had beaten the script out of the novel was far more marketable than herbert\u2019s . he rendered an entire culture who planned to reset the ecology of a desolate , waterless planet by essentially creating a terrarium environment over thousands of years with hidden , underground water reservoirs . never mind the fact that a messianic monsoon would turn their millenniums - long plan into a shitshow : the fremen looked better on film as a sort of primitive culture in need of a savior .\narriving in the middle of what was arguably the most politically and socially divisive time in american history , dune could have very easily been herbert\u2019s attempt to capitalize on that civil unrest with a ham - fisted allegory of the haves versus the have - nots or the always reliable overstated literary exercise in self - righteous grandstanding . instead , herbert\u2019s novel manages to touch on those issues with a subtlety and depth that still reads as a relevant cautionary tale for today\u2019s socio - cultural , political , and environmental issues . the problem , as it relates to translating those concepts into a visual experience , is not unlike the same kind of roadblock that filmmakers had for years in attempts to bring those lord of the rings stories to the screen .\nthe film ' s production is masterful in itself , and it syncs with the themes of the original storyverse . set 10 , 000 years in the future , everything looks appropriately streamlined . yet plenty of baroque flourishes ( the emperor\u2019s court in the opening scenes looks like a relic of imperial russia ) remain , as if to illustrate , as herbert does in his novel , that even as we evolve , certain elements of our existence will remain constant . jodorowsky ' s new - age , bright and groovy acid - trip take seemed to miss this point .\nthe anti - heroism and self - reliance of the fremen people is one of dune \u2019s most powerful components because it places less importance on the superstitious reductions of fanaticism and on the logical practicality of autonomy . yes , paul is the kwisatz haderach , and sure , the scene with his little scary - as - hell demon - voiced sister declaring him as such is a nice if not overcooked exclamation point to a cinematic run - on sentence . but the elevation of herbert\u2019s completely human paul to lynch\u2019s perfectly conceived and untouchable superman detracts from the story\u2019s overall and most compelling idea that the only perfection is found in nature and environment . for herbert , survival and enlightenment are the closest to perfection the rest of us can ever hope for .\ntherein lies the beginning of what runs the film aground when compared to the book . the book wastes no time in revealing that paul is the assumed messianic figure , otherwise known as the kwisatz haderach , for the fremen people of arrakis ( dune ) . the film does this as well , and at least in that regard , both film and book run parallel . the synchronicity takes a swan dive , though , once paul\u2019s training , self - awareness , and general sense of being \u201cthe chosen one\u201d become a platform for what\u2019s little more than magic or sorcery , \u00e0 la the force .\nthe dance of reality , so unlike tusk , is a marvellous film . the late film critic roger ebert called it a work of \u201cwild imagination , \u201d filled with \u201cawesome things . \u201d the second part in the series , endless poetry ( 2016 ) , which is slated for a general release this year , has been hailed by variety ( who panned tusk many moons ago ) as possibly jodorowsky\u2019s best .\nat the beginning of tie 88 meadows gifted every cast member a sony bloggie \u2013 a tiny camera the size of a mobile phone that shoots in hd \u2013 so that they could film behind the scenes footage .\n\u201che made it up as he went along , \u201d sathyu said of jodorowsky\u2019s style of directing , and pasha agreed , \u201cwe didn\u2019t know what was supposed to happen . \u201d compare the screenplay with the film and it quickly becomes apparent how far the final product strayed from its plan . in the screenplay , john morrison\u2019s wife does not die in childbirth but is a prominent character for the first part of the film . by the end , elise and cairns marry and have a daughter ( whom they also name elise ) . and throughout , there is only one sadhu , who appears in just a handful of scenes . of course , modifying a script on location is not unusual for any film production . but the extent to which tusk drifts from what was envisioned of it testifies to how thoroughly unprepared jodorowsky was to make a film in india .\none of the most divisive of lynch\u2019s modifications in the film is his treatment of the weirding way , a telepathic form of combat developed by the bene gesserit school of witchcraft and wizardry . in the book , herbert goes to great lengths to describe the fighting method , which is dependent upon the psychokinetic makeup of the mind and consciousness . not satisfied with such a primitive concept , lynch or who the hell knows , really , decided to replace mind - to - mind combat with\u2014wait for it\u2014laser pistols . laser pistols that use sound as their lasers . so instead of \u201czap ! zap ! \u201d it\u2019s \u201caaaaaa - cha\u201d .\nedmund goulding ' s version deserves crdit for trying to adapt maugham ' s difficult existential movel , but tyrone power is miscast and the film is too melodramatic and verbose , failing to illustrate the novel ' s essence .\nin 2006 he received the dunhill award at the london film festival and was mentioned by the observer as one of the courvoisier future 500 . mark was also nominated by variety magazine as one of 10 producers to watch .\nneagle portraying another great lady , this time odette churchill , the french wife of an englishman , who spied for the french resistance during world war ii , was captured and tortured by the nazis , but survived to be awarded the george cross . neagle acquits herself reasonably well , but the whole film is bogged down by a surfeit of respect and patriotism . the kind of film in which you know in advance exactly what will happen next .\nwith dune , focusing on a few of the most striking differences between film and book would have to begin with what\u2019s arguably the film\u2019s most significant omission . in the novel , paul atreides , the 15 - year - old son and heir to duke leto atreides , is a precocious , albeit emotionally na\u00efve character . paul\u2019s mother is lady jessica , a student of the bene gesserit sisterhood , an exclusively female school for training its students in the highest levels of physical and mental powers . she\u2019s also the concubine , but not wife , of the duke , a decision he expresses throughout both book and film ( he is portrayed outstandingly in the movie by actor j\u00fcrgen prochnow ) .\nrather than use india just as a backdrop , jodorowsky wanted to make a film about the country\u2019s culture . but in making india his muse , he succumbed to ideas of indian culture that were romanticised and also misconceived . the story of tusk \u2019s making\u2014which i put together over the last few months through interviews with many members of the film\u2019s crew\u2014traces jodorowsky\u2019s strangely desperate struggle to hold on to those ideas , in the face of india\u2019s incongruent , chaotic realities .\nentries may be submitted in the form of a short film ( 2 -

inducing example of the gaffe comes at the film\u2019s end , when it\u2019s revealed that in addition to his skills at making modules and tamin\u2019 sand serpents , paul can also bring the rain . literally . lynch\u2019s film , which by that time was a smoldering pile of \u201cwhat the hell just happened , \u201d concludes with a robed paul looking upward just as rain begins to pour on the up until then un - rained - upon arrakis . for unwitting filmgoers who\u2019d not read the book and powered through to the bitter end , the film\u2019s denouement seems like a perfectly bizarre conclusion to what had been a two - hour backward time warp into the most incomprehensible levels of bizarre .\nwhen asked why tusk was shot in india when campbell\u2019s story is set in siam ( a perfectly suitable location ) , sathyu shrugged , as if stating the obvious . \u201cthey wanted to make a film here , \u201d he said .\ncalcutta based screenwriter amitabha roy is traveling to hashimara in north bengal partly to visit his brother -

colonial protest were familiar territory for jodorowsky , but tusk , from its very conception , was destined to fail . while on the one hand tusk was marketed as a children\u2019s film , it was also labelled in its opening credits as \u201ca panic fable , \u201d a reference to the panic movement , of which jodorowsky was a founding member .\nherbert smith freehills engages with various indian law schools , across several fronts . as a firm , we are also keen on contributing to the social space in india . we believe that volunteering helps to develop well - rounded individuals and helps law students develop the ability to communicate and work with a diverse range of people . this benefits the students ' communities and also helps us identify the types of high calibre candidates we aim to recruit .\nthat\u2019s not to say that lynch failed at bringing to life herbert\u2019s brilliantly imagined world and its still relevant environmental cautionary tale . looking at what the director was in fact able to do with the little he had to work with , the film becomes less a travesty against the sanctity of laser pistol cinema art and more another example in what can go so horribly wrong it\u2019s almost right with movie adaptations of books . it just so happens that this book in particular happened to be densely packed with entire civilizations , religions , mathematics , philosophies , mystery worms , and the entirely imagined ecological makeup of a planet , its inhabitants , and the inhabiting collective consciousness of those inhabitants .\nundoubtedly a play off of luke skywalker and the rhetorically challenged prophetic revelations of yoda , the character of paul had to be a familiar sell to audiences . kyle maclachlan plays the part incredibly well , despite being much older than the character , but the safety of keeping him close to an already well - established character for moviegoers ended up being a large part of the film\u2019s undoing . had lynch or any one of the glut of directors attached over the years given the time and freedom necessary to do the story justice , it\u2019s safe to assume that paul\u2019s character , the central point of the book and trilogy , would have been given the necessary depth that herbert intended .\nbefore becoming a novelist herbert was art director of a london ad agency . \u201cbut by the age of 28 i thought i\u2019d done it all in advertising so i started writing the rats at weekends . it took me eight or nine months to finish . still , i carried on doing both jobs , working seven - day weeks for five years . but i was killing myself . i never saw my children . something had to give . \u201d\nanother key difference between book and film is the larger role given to the collective known as the spacing guild . though significant characters , the spacing guild\u2019s presence in the first of herbert\u2019s dune series is just this side of nien nunb ( or catfish co - pilot ) from return of the jedi . lynch\u2019s decision to not only include them but to visually construct them in the most lynchian - level disgusting of ways is an interesting if not slightly jarring digression . resembling the love child of a t - rex , sloth from the goonies , and a tube of meat , the guild navigators are absolutely hideous but also weirdly mesmerizing\u2014a dynamic that has worked in the director\u2019s favor for years .\nan okay adaptation of maugham . it isn ' t a great\nreturning home\nfilm but maugham ' s book does present some real challenges in terms of adaptation . a modern director likely would have been able to do the trick .\never determined , he organised his own film festival \u2013 hiring out a local porn cinema as a venue . there were only 15 seats in the cinema and about 80 people turned up , so they had to show the tapes in batches .\neach event provides an opportunity for indian law students to interact with , and learn from , some of the world ' s leading lawyers and academics - such as edward walker - arnott , chris parsons , justin d ' agostino , other partners at herbert smith freehills , professor timothy endicott ( dean - oxford law ) and professor james edelman ( barrister , fellow at keble college , and lecturer and professor of the law of obligations in the faculty of law ) .\nbut jodorowsky had no idea where exactly he would shoot the film . he only knew he needed a landscape teeming with elephants , for , according to the screenplay , a good - hearted rogue elephant was to be the protagonist . unsure of where to find elephants in india , let alone how to make them act , the film\u2019s french producer enlisted the help of a seasoned local , the filmmaker ms sathyu ( best - known for his partition classic garm hava , which released in 1974 ) .\nfor all that the book is in terms of its influence and acclaim , dune has the plot structure density of a supermassive black hole . yes , star wars tells a better visual story ( for the most part ) , but taking into account the kind of detailed , non - cursory perspective of every character , setting , background , and thematic narrative down to the subatomic level would make seven films work just as an introduction piece if there was any hope of giving any semblance of justice to the depth of herbert\u2019s book . the simple fact is that in its own strange way , a film\u2019s inability to capture the enormity and grandeur of a book is less a criticism of the filmmaker and more a testament to the book\u2019s incalculable brilliance .\nfive frustratingly long years after the last offering , this is england 90 is the latest in a series which has taken us on a seven year journey beginning in 1983 , with the 2006 film which introduced us to a group of disenchanted youths in the midlands .\nspace , witches , prophesies , lasers , gigantic worms , hallucinogenics , messiahs , gom jabbars , kyle maclachlan\u2014what could possibly go wrong ? if you\u2019re frank herbert , absolutely nothing . if you\u2019re david lynch , universal studios , or one of the millions of confused and horrified moviegoers in december 1984 ? a metric fuck ton . the complete and total failure of dune as a film has become the stuff of ishtar - level ridicule , despite ( or maybe because of ) the fact that both films featuring copious use of sand footage . as is the case with many films that flop with the same kind of epic grandeur as the premise of their story , lynch\u2019s dune was the director\u2019s attempt at condensing the story equivalent of the pacific ocean into a solo cup .\nplenty of celebrities would have ignored such a request , and others still might have snidely pointed to the film\u2019s wikipedia page . but kyle maclachlan is not plenty of actors , so he offered something else altogether , a gloriously concise synopsis of the plot in 41 emojis :\na story about a simpleton with a golden heart and complex troubled mind . trapped in a desolate existence , he begins to ? communicate ? with the dead and eventually commits suicide . how does a sad dark tale like this prevent itself from being too maudlin or too morbid & apos ; and instead become an exciting inspirational film & apos ; with conviction of a director . and a film ? s convincing language ( treatment ) and confident body - language ( form ) ; expressed by superb histrionics of actors and rendered with excellent filmcraft of technicians .\nthe gallery\u2019s policies regarding film presentation are absurdly limited , concentrating almost entirely on films connected to current exhibitions . there are exceptions such as the retrospectives presented by the sydney film festival , but over the years robert worked within a system that required more than a bit of adroitness to get some variety and the odd killer connection . as far as i know , robert booked the films , assembled the programs and then projected them . projections were preceded by the most ferocious demands on the audience , starting with a no admissions after the start of the film and then subjecting the crowd to some serious admonitions as to how to behave during the show . i clapped the series of slides at every screening i attended though there always remained some buffoon or other who thought their phone calls or text messages were more important than everyone else\u2019s enjoyment .\naside from replacing the old standby laser sound with the deadly hazards of a rogue sneeze , lynch\u2019s \u201ccomplete abortion of a sacred text\u201d is really not so much . if anything , the film pares down the immense complexity of its source material to avoid allowing the film to be ( even more ) convoluted . for all that it misses , lynch\u2019s dune makes its greatest error in background omission . background of the harkonnens , the atreides , the padishah emperor , his daughter who provides the unnecessary hush - whisper voiceover narration , but most unfortunately , that of the fremen .\ntitas ekti nadir naam - adaita mallabarman ' s novel to utpal dutt ' s theatre , ritwik ghatak ' s film - three autonomous , extraordinary creations . suman ' s teesta paarer brittanto will remain as an instance like that\n.

page - long document , with the landscape described in variants of \u201ctropical southern indian . \u201d\nhere , in india , no one in the unit saw tusk , though they all wondered for decades what became of their work . and no one heard from jodorowsky either\u2014they only heard stories through intercontinental grapevines . nitin sethi , one of the members of the film\u2019s crew , said he ran into jodorowsky some years later on the metro in paris . he reported that jodorowsky looked bedraggled and impoverished . but the story that lasted among those who had tried to track both tusk and its director\u2019s fate was a different one\u2014when jodorowsky returned to paris , he rode to the film\u2019s premiere , past the eiffel tower , on the back of a circus elephant .\nand that\u2019s just the back story ! no wonder , then , that some fans of kyle maclachlan , who starred in the film as paul atreides , have been left a little confused . that , at least , is presumably what led someone to tweet a query at the actor , asking him to explain it to her :\nstarting in 1971 , the film burned up millions as it passed through the hands of planet of the apes producer arthur p . jacobs , chilean director alejandro jodorowsky , and sci - fi maven ridley scott before landing in the hands of avant - noir director david lynch . jodorowsky\u2019s aborted 10 - hour , salvador dali - starring , pink floyd - scored version is the subject of a new documentary , jodorowsky\u2019s dune . with that project putting dune back on nerdkind\u2019s mind this month , it\u2019s worth looking back at lynch\u2019s film\u2014a deeply flawed work that failed as a commercial enterprise , but still managed to capture and distill essential portions of one of science fiction\u2019s densest works .\non a crisp morning sometime in late february 1978 , an elephant waited patiently outside mysore\u2019s hotel metropole to meet with a foreign visitor . alejandro jodorowsky , a chilean - french filmmaker with a cult international following , had requested the meeting . earlier that decade , jodorowsky had shot to fame with the off - kilter hit el topo ( 1970 ) , which had caught the attention of many in the alternative arts fraternity , including john lennon . lennon even helped fund jodorowsky\u2019s next film , the holy mountain , which released in 1973 to widespread acclaim . five years later , jodorowsky arrived in mysore to start work on his next film , tusk , which was to be based in india .\nvarious things have gone wrong . a whole ten days\u2019 telexes to paris never got through . the stars have arrived a whole week before it was necessary\u2026everyone is cross\u2026the arrangements are ghastly and everyone blames everyone else . shoutings continue\u2026 [ gg ( the cinematographer ) ] has worked all over the world and says this is the worst organised film he has ever been on .\nthat said , lynch\u2019s vision for turning one of the greatest and most inherently complex science fiction stories ever written into a film was about as valiant an effort as anyone could\u2019ve made in the same circumstances . long before new line cinema were saying \u201cfuck it . why not ? \u201d to peter jackson\u2019s lord of the rings films , directors like lynch were fighting an uphill battle to go past the 120 - minute mark , much less go full godfather and unleash holy celluloid running - time hell . add to that the fact that the previous seven years had been ass and elbows absorbed into a relatively well known and cherished film franchise called star wars , and dune likely felt like the beastmaster did for audiences after seeing conan the barbarian .\nas she viewed snippets of tusk on youtube , oriole remembered the sadhus did not dress in real life as they appear in the film . they usually wrapped themselves in layers of fabric but jodorowsky insisted one of them pare down his garb to bare chest and a langot , as if to make the sadhu look like one of those from the f\u00e1bulas p\u00e1nicas comic strips .\npublished in 1965 , herbert\u2019s novel received with near universal acclaim , culminating in his being awarded the 1966 hugo award . in the 50 years since , dune has become one of the best - selling science fiction novels of all time . released just a little over a decade after j . r . r . tolkien\u2019s seminal first installment of the lord of the rings series , dune worked as a kind of respite for those readers who preferred their fantastical storytelling with fewer swords and more telepathic , voice - throwing messiah figures . though not at all a slight to tolkien\u2019s masterpiece , dune didn\u2019t simply offer an imaginative world for its characters to inhabit ; it offered a world in which the characters didn\u2019t belong .\nwhen dune , the adaptation of frank herbert ' s seminal 1965 novel of the same name , was released in december of 1984 , it was met with near - unanimous derision . roger ebert hated it , hated it .\nit took dune about nine minutes to completely strip me of my anticipation ,\nhe said .\nthis movie is a real mess , an incomprehensible , ugly , unstructured , pointless excursion into the murkier realms of one of the most confusing screenplays of all time .\njanet maslin opened her new york times review by stating ,\nseveral of the characters in dune are psychic , which puts them in the unique position of being able to understand what goes on in the movie .\nzing !\nhe has since said that his role in tie was pivotal , saving him from a potential life of crime . his mum died in 2005 and the original film is dedicated to her . the support of meadows and the cast after her death was overwhelming , with andrew shim ( milky ) and stephen graham ( combo ) making a \u201cgentlemen\u2019s agreement\u201d that they would always be there for him .\ndune was like the anti - star wars , undoing everything lucas ' s trilogy did to make sci - fi a friendly place . a new hope took audiences to far away galaxies , sure , but it smoothed the transition into the fantastical with a simple , recognizable tale : a gentle farmhand meets a wise old man and a cowboy , gets himself a sword ( of sorts ) , and goes adventuring . it ' s almost baffling , in retrospect , that producer dino de laurentiis , who bought the rights to the notoriously obtuse dune project in 1978 , one year after star wars became a hit , could look at herbert ' s novel and think that something as warm , friendly , and accessible could be squeezed from its pages .\nalthough he believed his film is sensitive to indian culture ( his indians are not savages ) , he unwittingly made a caricature of it . as he hammered on with anti - colonial comment , he lapsed into cliches to make his point . the indian butler bemoans , \u201cnone of us are free here , \u201d while the sadhus must make the white man one of them to prove their superiority .\nif a plot summary of tusk suggests an ungainly arrangement of events , then the film , in its entirety , is twice as convoluted . much of the film is long\u2014though impressively shot\u2014sequences of charging elephants , and groups of people shouting incoherently to either catch an elephant , celebrate an elephant or fight with each other about elephants . there are several minor storylines , half - uttered comic characters , and too many celebratory processions thrown in at periodic intervals . but more interestingly , each of these digressions seems to be a depiction of something \u201cindian , \u201d be it the singing , spell - casting sadhus , elise sneaking out in a boat at night to meditate in a half - submerged temple , or the publicly anti - indian lord spencer , who is secretly having an affair with his indian maid ."]}

with bellatrix lestrange shattering the windows and other glass objects in the great hall . the castle appears to be deserted except for one auror on duty , who snape jinxes out of the way . the battle was so reduced because the film ' s producer felt it was too similar to the battle that would occur in the final film .\ncompact digital film camera with 4 . 6k sensor , 15 stops of dynamic range , full tactile controls , optical nd filters , interchangeable lens mount and dual cfast 2 . 0 and dual uhs - ii sd card recorders .\nmany assumed the new film was cancelled as a result of the disappointing box office performance of terminator genisys , which took just $ 89 million at the us box office . however , genisys - which also starred game of thrones actress emilia clarke , former doctor who matt smith and jai courtney - did significantly better overseas , making $ 350 million at the international box office . in china , the film made $ 89 million in a single day .\nthis is the premise of vz dhorai\u2019s 6 melugu vathigal , which plays like the liam neeson thriller taken crossed with one of kamal haasan\u2019s pan - indian sagas . a father\u2019s search ( or now that he\u2019s an animal , maybe the word is hunt ) for a missing child takes him across the country , north and south , east and west , and results in encounters with various languages and cultures and subcultures \u2014 it should make for riveting drama , a welcome change from the endless comedies we are subjected to . but a number of factors conspire to derail the narrative , beginning with the cast .\nin the novel , dumbledore pours the memory into the pensieve and accompanies harry into the memories . in the film , dumbledore gives harry the memory to pour , and harry enters them alone , with dumbledore standing back and observing .\ncompact and lightweight digital film camera with high performance 4 . 6k super 35 sensor with up to 15 stops of dynamic range , ef lens mount , 12g - sdi , 5\u201d fold out monitor , dual cfast recorders and more !\nif there ' s anyone who can handle all of those subjects with grace , it ' s pharrell williams ;

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 .\n' 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 .\nthe 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\u2019s station represents the barrier between the individual and power\u2014a 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 .\nas head nurse in a mental institution , nurse ratched should be promoting her patients\u2019 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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 .\nwhile 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\noff - camera\n- - 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 .\nafter 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 .\nrose , sharon and cybil died near the beginning of the film in the car / motorcycle crash and are trapped in purgatory in the ending .\nmost 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 .\nthis film studies - a2 is a one - year course of study and should be taken alongside two or three other subjects and the welsh baccalaureate . it may also be possible to take this course as a part - time student . a2 film studies follows on from as and consists of the following two modules :\nchristophe 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 .\nalthough 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 .\nwhen 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 .\nsome 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\ncapt . 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 .\nthe dedicated nurse and hardcore drug addict has hit rock bottom ( we can only hope it doesn\u2019t get worse ) in tonight\u2019s sixth season finale of \u201cshowtime\u2019s\u201d touted series , for which edie falco won the 2010 emmy for best actress in a comedy . with the exception of maybe \u201cshameless\u201d ( another showtime commodity ) , no show nails down addiction better than \u201cnurse jackie , \u201d where the ugliness , narcissism and selfishness of the disease is on open \u2014 and unapologetic \u2014 display .\na 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 .\nin 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 .\nwhen 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 .\nwork 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 .\nfans 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 .\nthe 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 .\nthe film features various references to silent hill 3 : sharon ' s line\ndon ' t talk to strangers\nquotes heather mason ' s first encounter with douglas cartland .\nhours 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 .\nwhen mcmurphy finally gets his hands around nurse ratched\u2019s neck in the film\u2019s explosive climax , she looks understandably terrified \u2014 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\u2019s 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 .\nmany of the film\u2019s 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\u2019t hear himself think . he tells her the men wouldn\u2019t 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 .\nrose 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 .\nflight nurse / herbert j yates ; alan le may ; allan dwan ; joan leslie ; forrest tucker ; arthur franz ; jeff donnell ; ben cooper ; maria palmer ; richard simmons ; james brown ; hal baylor ; victor young ; reggie lanning ; ellis f thackery ; james w sullivan ; earl crain , sr . ; howard wilson ; adele palmer ; john mccarthy , jr . ; charles thompson ; howard lydecker ; theodore lydecker ; fred allen ; bob mark ; peggy gray ; republic pictures corporation . ; ; united states : republic pictures corp . , \u00a91953 .\nher life story also was told on the small screen in a 1961 episode of ralph edwards '\nthis is your life .\nher appearance generated a record amount of mail , much of it from wounded veterans who remembered the tiny black - haired nurse .\nthe 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 .\nyes , the film includes the deaths of both professor x / charles xavier as well as wolverine / logan . they\u2019re not pretend dead , or kinda dead , they\u2019re just dead . there\u2019s 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 .\nthe 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\u2019s grave . laura recites the scene from the film she watched with xavier earlier in the casino hotel room . it\u2019s from the \u201953 western , shane , and it speaks of the main character\u2019s inability to escape what he\u2019s done , so he has to find a way to live with it , and accept it .\nryan 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\nmodern classics\nseries ( bfi publishing ) . he was named reviewer of the year in the 2007 press gazette awards and is film critic in residence at falmouth university .\nin 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 .\n, 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\nas 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 .\nit\u2019s 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 \u201cdogtooth\u201d ) . as the group\u2019s 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 ( \u201cattenberg\u201d star ariane labed , who\u2019s superb here ) and coach ( johnny vekris ) have a fruitful , fascinating relationship , with major scenes bookending the film , but they\u2019re 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 .\ndirector 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\nopposite\nbeliefs . the brethren are witch hunters who kill convicted witches to prevent the apocalypse . this is something which revelation apparently retconned .\nwhile 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\u2019s 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\nfor the lowly protagonist , david mann , spielberg hand -

eight days , and then been free to go . nurse ratched\u2019s authority , however , extends from the television to the term of mcmurphy\u2019s 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 \u201cchronics , \u201d 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 .\ni thought you might be interested in this item at urltoken title : flight nurse author : herbert j yates ; alan le may ; allan dwan ; joan leslie ; forrest tucker ; arthur franz ; jeff donnell ; ben cooper ; maria palmer ; richard simmons ; james brown ; hal baylor ; victor young ; reggie lanning ; ellis f thackery ; james w sullivan ; earl crain , sr ; howard wilson ; adele palmer ; john mccarthy , jr ; charles thompson ; howard lydecker ; theodore lydecker ; fred allen ; bob mark ; peggy gray ; republic pictures corporation publisher : united states : republic pictures corp . , \u00a91953 . oclc : 422901005\none flew over the cuckoo\u2019s nest was revered worldwide , but swedish viewers developed an especially soft spot for the film . cuckoo\u2019s nest remained a regular option for swedish moviegoers through 1987\u2014 11 years after its initial release .\nsome of the vocal tracks are present , with mary elizabeth mcglynn ' s\nyou ' re not here\nplaying through part of the credits , set to a 3d animation of various environments from the film .\nthe 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 .\nbut 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 \u2014 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\u2019 welfare . it\u2019s a fantastic idea , faultlessly executed , which makes the film knottier and also more enduring . how hokey\nken 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 .\ntogether , 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 . \u201cafter scaring most of the cows in the neighborhood , \u201d she said , \u201ci pulled up in a farmer\u2019s back yard . \u201d 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 \u201cheroic courage and skill as a navigator at the risk of her life . \u201d earhart felt the flight proved that men and women were equal in \u201cjobs requiring intelligence , coordination , speed , coolness , and willpower . \u201d\nthe 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 -

( still , kurtz recognized that the main problem with it was its grim and\nmorose\ntone . ) it cost $ 24 , 000 , 000 to make , but earned only half that sum at the box office .\nwhatever the film\u2019s reception , it will stand as a testament to sheer cinematic doggedness , as well as the public\u2019s perpetual fascination with earth\u2019s nearest planetary neighbour . edgar rice burroughs\u2019 john carter holds the record for the longest time languishing in what\u2019s known in the movie business as \u201cdevelopment hell\u201d \u2014 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\u2019s popular heroes .\nthe 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 .\nthe book ' s publication contributed to a backlash against the entire psychiatric treatment system in the us in the 1960s . huge , spirit - crushing state institutions \u2013 like the oregon facility later depicted in the film \u2013 began reducing their excessive resident numbers and granting patients more rights .\nin the story , r . p . mcmurphy \u2013 played by jack nicholson in the film \u2013 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 .\nnormally 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\nmoments\n) 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 .\neagle - eyed viewers will catch the word \u201cflammable\u201d scrawled across the back of the truck , yet when it careens off the cliff at the end of the movie it doesn\u2019t go boom . the studio wanted a big explosion , but the director wanted a slower demise for his film\u2019s villain .\na 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\n- - variety review , november 4 , 1953 .\nbracketed cast credits were supplied from : variety review , november 4 , 1953 . playing time on release was 90 min . , according to : film daily yearbook , 1954 .\napproved , mpaa , certificate no . 16603 .\ncopyright : republic pictures corp . ;

as - elvis tells her the whole story , and she thinks he ' s crazy but she adores him just the same . he gives her a scarf , and she runs out . we see gary , living the life that he made for the dead elvis , getting ready to put on the white vegas jumpsuit of death . gary knows the end is near for elvis , but he ' s still determined to live elvis ' life as he remembers it , even though he ' ll die young , just like the real elvis did .\na round of hollow applause for gary pitkin , who tried to pay a blood debt in sequins and b movies , and discovered to his sorrow that sometimes you ' re called back for one encore too many .\nsound of elvis singing ,\nare you lonesome tonight\nas picture fades .\njeff yagher bears as much resemblance to elvis as you can hope for in an actor , and his performance is key to the success of the episode . he plays gary as a goofy kind of saviour , yet plays elvis as a serious , insecure kid . he does a good job with elvis ' voice , too . lisa jane persky has a sincere quality as the agent , and her level - headedness in the face of gary ' s lofty ideals is refreshing .\nthe one nice surprise of the episode is seeing red west . red worked as a bodyguard for elvis , and was one of his oldest friends . having such a close link to the legend gives the story weight . and red ' s always been an interesting actor who is fun to watch .\nthe period 50 ' s atmosphere is handled well , though it obviously looks like california in some scenes that were supposed to be in memphis . the comment that red west makes upon meeting gary and seeing a picture of chuck berry on his t - shirt ,\nis that a negro on your undershirt ?\nisn ' t very pc but i suppose in 1954 it was not uncommon , and it takes courage for a tv series in 1986 to use it .\nthis story could have benefited from being expanded to an hour , because it has a rushed feel to it during the scenes between gary and elvis . i would have liked to see more of the interplay between the two characters . still , this is a well - written teleplay and a great way to start off the second season .\nthe good news ? this year syfy is airing every single episode\u2014all 156 of them , in order . the bad news ? there\u2019s a little interruption to the marathon when they air two hours of wwe smackdown on new year\u2019s eve .\nall times are eastern / pacific , and some of the descriptions are spoilery ( not to mention ridiculous ) . but if you\u2019re going to complain about spoilers for a 50 -

quechua , italian , and spanish ) , the music video director hezues r . who worked on some of the principal scenes and creative portions is also of mixed south american decent while the movie and comic book were produced by donations from several good hearted people of native decent and penned by native american female artist nikkol jelenic . so basically i was super excited to see this and it didn\u2019t disappoint .\nvery rarely does your career fall into your lap unless you work very hard at it . a career may catch you by surprise and before you know it , one gig lands you to another gig and it turns into your career . this is what happened to actor alex kruz , an american , but with ecuadorian descent . his most recent accomplishment is his film \u201cred cloud : deliverance\u201d which won the spirit of comic con award at the 2014 wizard world film festival . kruz sat down with latin trends to discuss more about his evolving career .\nas i previously stated , this was a visual movie . yes , there was enough dialogue , but only when truly needed . the cinematography and the body language of the actors gave more information than lines could have possibly done . alex m . kruz , who played jake red cloud , conveyed a real sense of loss as the camera studied his expressions . flashbacks to his former life revealed who he was and why he had become this new version of jake red cloud . the real embodiment of dialogue rested upon the heartfelt words of an eight year old little girl who flawlessly and believably portrayed a needy , yet wise beyond her years , child .\nmaybe , just maybe , they thought , the past wasn\u2019t so bad after all . maybe slavery was better than uncertainty and defeat and whatever punishment was waiting for them back in egypt . these people cried out daily for deliverance , yet when deliverance came they did not at all like what it looked like . there was finger - pointing , there was second guessing , but the fact is that god placed them in that exact spot in that exact moment so that he could perform a miracle that would define himself and his people forever .\n13 moses answered the people , \u201cdo not be afraid . stand firm and you will see the deliverance the lord will bring you today . the egyptians you see today you will never see again . 14 the lord will fight for you ; you need only to be still . \u201d\nevery believer at one point or another has a red sea moment , a situation from which there is no escape , and only an undeniable act of god can lead you safely out .\njake red cloud , a native american gun for hire with a mysterious past , needs a place to lay low . the little girl where jake lives , ann , befriends him and soon the two develop a spiritual bond of friendship , which leads jake to the revelation that something in his life is missing . before he can act his past threatens to extinguish his life and the lives of those around him .\nwhen god has us firmly entrenched in a red sea moment , it requires much prayer , much faith , and much trust . our deliverance is not going to come quickly or easily , but it will come in such a way that god is glorified . it will become a moment that sustains you through a lifetime of pain and a moment that can be celebrated in times of joy . it\u2019s ok to be afraid , but not ok to let that fear overtake your faith . for faith is stronger than our fear , and god is stronger than any situation we face .\nwhile it ended rather abruptly , red cloud : deliverance is an amazing film with just the right touch of everything from heartwarming to heartrending . i was confused at first at the appearance of the yakuza but then absolutely delighted \u2013 1 ) because i\u2019m a fan of japanese cinema and 2 ) because i love the mix of cultures happening in this film . it was just somewhat unexpected . jake is definitely a great hero type , with the perfect combination of stoicism and vulnerability , and the actor portraying him ( alex kruz ) does a wonderful job ( the fact that he is one of the writers and aspects of jake were based off him and his life certainly doesn\u2019t hurt ) . jen waite , who plays jeannine , seemed wooden at times but after a while i came to the conclusion that it was more of an acting choice meant to further embody the character\u2019s numbness and disillusion with life .\nfor those of you who know me , you know my attention span has an inverse relationship to my age : the older i get , the shorter the attention span . a 30 minute movie is my cup of tea . again , for those who know me , you know my children are the center of my world . . . for the good or the bad , that ' s the way i ' m wired . i like to think that most moms are wired the same way . unfortunately , as was brought to my attention by filmmaker alex m . kruz , this is not always the case . alex , also a parent , finds himself living thousands of miles away from his daughters . and as a parent , as well as previously part of the military , alex was privy to situations that you and i can only hope are not real . alex ' s art and filmmaking are a way of expressing his loss of not having his daughters close by as well as helping to raise funds to save children from horrors that we everyday parents would consider incomprehensible . all the proceeds , thus far from\nred cloud : deliverance\nhave gone to the somaly mam foundation . you see , the main character ' s name , jake red cloud , lost his family while trying to save children from the human trafficking and sex slave trade . i truly didn ' t think this was an actual issue , but to my sad realization , it is . the somaly mam foundation was founded to help eradicate this situation .\n{ title : ' the red cloud chief ( red cloud , webster co . , neb . ) 1873 -

maintained , and so are the buildings , from rough log structures to the tidy clapboard ones painted white and green to the large lodges , halls , and offices of brick , adobe , and stone . originally camp robinson , this establishment remained in almost continuous use from its founding in 1874 as a military security outpost for the second red cloud agency , to its reassignment as a training ground and quartermaster remount depot , breeding , training , and caring for up to 12 , 000 mules and horses at any given time prior to and for the duration of world war ii . it was the regimental headquarters for the two african american black regiments in the then - segregated u . s . army , first the ninth cavalry , then the tenth , from 1887 to 1907 . from 1885 to 1916 , in fact , most of the troops stationed here were black .\ncrazy horse led his people to the red cloud agency next to fort robinson and surrendered there on may 5th , 1877 . for the next few months , rumor , gossip , accusations , negotiations , and whispers of plot and conspiracy whirled while crazy horse retreated ever further into himself . he was a man of action , not words , and he was impatient with all this hubbub . he had lost his only child , his beloved daughter they are afraid of her , about four years before , and her mother , his wife black shawl , was suffering from tuberculosis . so long as he could not fight nor be free , he wanted to be left alone as much as possible . but the rumors that crazy horse was plotting to assassinate general george crook and start another war intensified , and crook was determined to have him arrested , even assassinated if need be . later inquiries showed that the rumors were unfounded , that there was no evidence that crazy horse planned to do otherwise than keep his word not to fight the whites anymore . jealousy , infighting , betrayal , and poor translations , both accidental and deliberate , all contributed to the drama .\nwhen i find myself in a red sea moment , i don\u2019t typically anticipate the sea drying up and everything turning out ok . i don\u2019t expect to walk out on dry land where there was a sea . i can\u2019t imagine a scenario where the powerful army of pharaoh is going to be swallowed up in defeat . what i do see are bills that are due , i see danger , i see pain , i see discouragement , i see defeat , and it is all i can do to decide if i am going to swing away at the enemy knowing i am not going to make a dent , or just toss aside all god has taught me over a lifetime and surrender .\nafter some controversy over what to do ( put crazy horse in prison as he was , now in his death struggle ? leave him lying where he was as his friends began to hear the news and gather in anger ? ) , he was carried back to the adjutant\u2019s office on the red blanket he had been wearing . he refused the white man\u2019s cot offered to him and asked to be placed on the floor instead . crazy horse was given morphine to ease his intense pain and he died , after lingering for long and painful hours , in the presence of his father and stepfather . he spoke forgiving words for most involved with his death except little big man , who had , it seemed , not only betrayed crazy horse but all of his people .\ncrazy horse has become one of the most widely revered native americans in history , if not the most . many recognize similarities in the life and death story of jesus christ to that of crazy horse : each was called by the supernatural to be a deliverer of his people , each beheld visions and went out to the wilderness to seek them ; each was warned by the supernatural of the nature and manner of death but boldly continued his mission nonetheless ; each refused to be tempted away from his purpose by a vision of earthly reward and the sight of a glorious city ; each was a loner and dreamer but also a charismatic leader ; each called on his people to eschew a life of promised ease and comfort to follow him on a harder road ; each preferred simplicity in dress and humility in comportment ; each died , falsely accused and betrayed by a friend , with a stab wound in his side . these themes resonate in our american culture generally , in which christianity plays such a significant formative role . there are so many great native americans that we remember and admire but perhaps crazy horse remains preeminent in our collective memory for these perceived christlike qualities . in a strictly historical sense , these similarities are exaggerated and perhaps unwarranted , but in a cultural and spiritual sense , they stand out to us because of their resonance with our most cherished beliefs and values . native american communities too , many of whom have adopted christianity and especially those doctrines which echo their traditional faith , perceive crazy horse as everything from a stalwart warrior to a messianic figure , a great symbol of hope , deliverance , traditional virtue , and spiritual renewal for their beleaguered peoples .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nclyde cynic directed by ramiro belanger rhythms of resistance directed by jason o ' hara naked ambition directed by joe wihl baja directed erick higuera the provocateur directed by chris fassbender connected directed by amior artziel the driver directed by jarkko t . laine la madre -

1877 . he had long been successful at resisting white settlers\u2019 and the u . s . army\u2019s attempts to force him onto a reservation or to adopt their ways . he was one of the bold young warriors who led a contingent of soldiers into an ambush near fort phil kearny , wyoming . this 1866 engagement , called the fight of the hundred in the hand by the lakota and the fetterman fight by the united states , was the worst defeat of the u . s . army by native americans until the battle of the little bighorn ten years later . 81 u . s . troops from fort phil kearny and a few civilians lost their lives there . this battle was the culmination of a series of skirmishes and raids on unwelcome white settlers and forts such as this one set up to protect them .\nfor a long time previously , white and native american people traded with one another and enjoyed mostly good relations on the great plains . however , settlers began flooding in in ever great numbers , disrupting buffalo migrations , depleting game , clearing timber , and putting up fences . at a certain point , the white presence came to be seen as a menace to the way of life that crazy horse , sitting bull , and those who followed them believed was divinely and wisely arranged . why resort to grubbing in the soil and putting up fences when wakan tanka , the creator or great spirit , had given the people such rich herds of game , which , together with the rich stands of timber and plentiful flowing water , provided all the nourishment , clothing , and shelter one could need , on vast swaths of beautiful land where the people could roam as freely as the animals ? the bozeman trail , which cut across this good land , was a major route for these white settlers and for a time , they passed through it mostly unmolested . but when the trickle became a flood , the situation changed from a matter of hospitality and mutual benefit to one of survival . would any reasonable person continue to welcome guests once they\u2019ve begun to ransack their home , raid their fridge , take their most prized possessions to sell , and block their passage from room to room ?\ncrazy horse was having none of it . like sitting bull , he distrusted white people and disdained their way of life . it seemed stunted to him , caged , lacking soul and nobility . unlike sitting bull , he made no concessions to white ways until forced to do so for the survival of his band ; even then , he did the absolute minimum necessary . we don\u2019t know what he looked like since he refused to have his picture taken ; he was unimpressed with most white - made goods and would accept no bribes ; he absolutely refused to visit washington , d . c . as his fellow great chiefs had done because , as he observed , the experience changed them . they were dazzled and bewitched by what they saw , so they lost their independent spirit , their sense of who they were .\ncrazy horse wasn\u2019t only an independent spirit when it came to white ways . he was very unusual within oglala lakota society . he was a reserved man in a gregarious culture ; he dressed simply at all times , when warbonnets , elaborate jewelry , and other showy regalia were the usual garb of warriors in battle ; he didn\u2019t scalp the enemies he killed ; he didn\u2019t take a wife until he was in his thirties when most of his fellows had started a family by age twenty ; though he fought bravely and ferociously , he was also methodical in battle , planning his moves carefully and stopping to shoot accurately when a whirlwind , showy style of fighting was more customary ; he spoke little of his own exploits when tales of personal heroism were the usual topic of conversation after a good fight . but his fame grew because the daring and magnificence of his exploits made him an irresistible topic of conversation for others .\nthe fetterman fight and the battle of the little bighorn were spectacular victories for crazy horse and his warriors , but he would never again enjoy that level of success in battle against the white invaders . his last fight with the u . s . army was at the battle of wolf mountains , which began when the soldiers attacked his band in the dead of winter . much of the fighting , in fact , occurred during a blizzard . the army decided to end the fighting , once and for all , to make an additional show of invincible strength by showing that they were willing and able to pursue the war even in the most extreme weather . the fighting was fierce and , though there was no decisive winner , the lakota and cheyenne\u2019s losses were heavy . the camp , too , was suffering greatly from hunger and the intense cold . crazy horse was defeated , finally , not in battle , but by observing the suffering of his people . he , like so many great chiefs before him , surrendered so that his people , if they could not enjoy liberty , could at least survive .\nstones placed in formation near the crazy horse monument and guardhouse . it appears to be an unfinished memorial : when doing research for this piece , i found an article from 2015 which discussed plans for a new memorial for crazy horse and his entire band , 899 lovers of freedom who were forced to surrender here in 1877 . the outer stones to mark four cardinal directions are in place , though they are not the massive ones described in the article , and the central stone has another smaller one beside it for offerings . the concrete walkways and large plaques containing the names of the people are not in place . perhaps this simplified version was put in place as the often long , tedious , sometimes indefinite fundraising efforts for the more elaborate one continue .\nleft : adjutant\u2019s office , where crazy horse died , to the left of the guardhouse where he was stabbed ; all of these buildings are reconstructions based on written records , photographs , and archaeological evidence . so you can see the actual distance between the adjutant\u2019s office from which crazy horse walked to the guardhouse . right : interior of the adjutant\u2019s office with informational sign\nthe rumors got so bad that crazy horse feared that he would be executed or , worse , arrested and removed to some distant land of the whites away from his people , so on september 4th , 1877 , he wrapped up his sick wife , and he and a few friends fled to his old friend spotted tail\u2019s agency about forty miles east . he sought protection and advice as to what the whites were thinking , and he didn\u2019t think this would betray his promise , of surrender . after all , he was going to an agency . nevertheless , lieutenant jesse m . lee was ordered to retrieve crazy horse , and he escorted him back to fort robinson the next morning . they went first to the adjutant\u2019s office .\nstone monument , dedicated in 1934 , near the site where crazy horse was bayoneted . i placed this little spray of sage here , picked in deep ravine at the little bighorn battlefield from which crazy horse led his charge to split custer\u2019s forces . this maneuver was key to the successful outcome of the battle . you can see that the morning breeze is about to waft the sprig away\ncrazy horse understood that he was to have a chance to talk things over with u . s . army officials and clear things up . lee was pretty sure of his innocence regarding all those rumors of plots , conspiracies , and warmongering , and promised crazy horse an interview with the white authorities which he didn\u2019t have the authority to arrange . lee hoped he could persuade the higher - ups to talk to crazy horse before deciding his fate , but it was not to be . unequivocal orders came down for crazy horse\u2019s immediate arrest instead . when crazy horse was led from the adjutant\u2019s office into the guardhouse , he showed no sign of resistance , walking hand in hand with the captain . but when he stepped in the door , he saw the bars of the prison , and he realized this was a trap : there would be no talks , only imprisonment and then , who knows ? so crazy horse pushed himself out the door , and as soldiers and his old friend little big man tried to restrain him , he pulled out his knife and slashed little big man\u2019s arm . another soldier near the guardhouse lowered his bayonet at the ready , and when the opportunity came , he lunged and stabbed . the blade pierced crazy horse\u2019 side and into his kidney , and he fell .\nworking model at the visitor center for the crazy horse memorial , black hills , south dakota . when asked once where his lands were now that the lakota were being driven out , crazy horse answered , \u2018my lands are where my dead lie buried\u2019 .\none last thing : three days ago , i climbed black elk peak in the black hills , south dakota . sylvan lake is nearby , and i had stopped there at a lakeside hotel to seek recommendations for the best hike to the top . one of the routes departs from the short of sylvan lake , but not the longer , more scenic one which i had chosen . as a teen , crazy horse went to sylvan lake with his father on a vision quest , one of the most important in his life , in which he was instructed how to paint his body with hailstones and his face with lightning for battle ; to dress simply and wear his hair flowing down ; to take no scalps ; and generally to live a life of bravery and modest virtue . i wanted to find the exact place he went , but it would take a level of meticulous research and mapping that i had run out of time to do before i left . when i return to the black hills , i will make a point of seeking out that place .\nbrown , dee . bury my heart at wounded knee : an indian history of the american west . new york : holt , rinehart & winston , 1970\nbuecker , thomas r . \u2018 final days of crazy horse , \u2019 friends of the little bighorn battlefield website\nconnell , evan s . son of the morning star . london : macmillan , 1984\ncozzens , peter . the earth is weeping : the epic story of the indian wars for the american west . new york : knopf , 2016\njackson , joe . black elk : the life of an american visionary . new york : farrar , straus and giroux , 2016\nmarquis , thomas bailey . wooden leg : a warrior who fought custer , 1931\nmarshall , joseph iii . the journey of crazy horse : a lakota history . new york : viking , 2004\npearson , jeffey v . \u2018 nelson a . miles , crazy horse , and the battle of wolf mountains \u2018 . from montana , the magazine of western history , 51 ( winter 2001 ) , 53 -

to - face with the prosecution\u2019s prime witness , malunai ( mame nakprasitte ) , a girl who largo had met in burma when he had gone there as a traveller a few years ago . malunai , who had been largo\u2019s girlfriend then , accuses him of spying on their village in order to help the burmese general .\npropelled to the head of the w group after the death of his adoptive father , largo winch decides , to everyone ' s surprise , to sell it , and use the proceeds to create an ambitious humanitarian foundation . but on the very same day , he finds himself accused of crimes against humanity by a mysterious witness . to prove his innocence , largo will have to retrace the steps of his past life , in the heart of the burmese jungle .\npropelled to the head of the w group after the death of his adoptive father , largo winch decides , to everyone ' s surprise , to sell it , and use the proceeds to create an ambitious humanitarian foundation . but on the very same day , he finds himself accused of crimes against humanity by a mysterious witness . to prove his innocence , largo will have to retrace the steps of his past life , in the heart of the burmese jungle . . .\non the flip side , the action sequences \u2013 hand - to - hand fights , gun - fights and an airborne sequence \u2013 have been executed rather well . also , a minor track of largo\u2019s steward exploring the nooks and crannies of thailand , searching for largo\u2019s friend , is humourous .\nas soon as largo signs on the dotted line , diane francken ( sharon stone ) , a prosecutor from the international criminal court , and her accomplices search his premises in a criminal case , blaming his company for a mass - murder incident in troubled burma . when largo conveys ignorance before her , francken tells largo that his father had bribed a corrupt burmese army man , general kyaw min ( nirut sirichanya ) , to finish off an entire village as he ( the father ) had wanted control of an underground precious metal resource . largo refuses to believe in the prosecutor\u2019s allegations .\nthe burma conspiracy is a story of a man called largo winch ( tomer sisley ) who finds himself cornered with baselessly shocking allegations after selling his late father\u2019s corporation to establish a humanitarian organization . in order to clear his name from all that he is accused off , he must travel and delve deep into the jungles of burma where he needs to retrace his lost roots once again .\nbased roughly on two of the comic books in the belgian series created by philippe francq and jean van hamme , the story begins by flashing back before the start of the last film to the time when largo winch ( tomer sisley ) was living in a remote forest in burma , where he was enjoying a bucolic love affair with a villager named malunai ( mame nakprasitte ) . through a rather complicated series of transactions and double - crossings that the script fails to entertainingly detail , malunai\u2019s people are wiped out by a mercenary general ( nirut sirichanya ) allegedly bankrolled by winch\u2019s father just prior his death .\nthe burma conspiracy is a story of a man called largo winch ( tomer sisley ) who finds himself cornered with baselessly shocking allegations afer selling his late fathers corporation to establish a humanitarian organization . in order to come clear , he must travel and delve deep into the jungles of burma where he needs to retrace his lost roots once again . directed by jrme salle and written by philippe franc and julien rappeneau .\nburma ( a . k . a . myanmar these days ) is not the nicest place on god\u2019s green earth . in the second largo winch movie there seems to have been a nod to avatar ( ! ) , as the basic plot point revolves around the massacre of a rural burmese village by profit - mongers who were after the nickel deposits at the site . of course , they hired a cruel local general to do the actual work , and the deal had connections to largo\u2019s father , nerio winch , whose secret swiss bank account ( password : pandora ) was allegedly used to fund the operation . this was three years earlier , while nerio was still alive , and by an odd coincidence largo himself was living with a local woman in another burmese village about 30 miles away . when these matters come under public scrutiny , largo is held responsible and accused of crimes against humanity . now he has to clear himself and unravel what really went on ; whether his father ( who , by his own admission , was no saint ) was actually responsible for the crime , or , if not , who among his corporate enemies ( and friends ) have made it seem that way .\nsharon stone still has it . she also sits in a way that . . . ehh . . . keeps you wondering what she does next . she does not though , that was for another movie . nice to hear her talk french without a heavy american accent too . the start of the action is nice where largo is to escape , using voice controlled gps navigation . the navigation keeps telling what to do . largo does and survives , the many cars following do not . plus largo ' s car is an audi , the rest is mercedes . i ' m guessing mercedes did not pay up any sponsoring of this movie < grin > . largo also has a comic relief in the form of his male aid ( although the aid is not fanatical about being\u2026\nhowever , cochrane gets largo out of the clutches of the police , using the business group\u2019s contacts . largo decides to go back to burma and find out what had really happened there and whether his father was indeed guilty of crime against humanity \u2013 something for which he is now being held responsible . accompanying him on his trip is his steward , gauthier ( nicolas vaude ) . he is later joined by an old friend , simon ( olivier barthelemy ) . what largo finally uncovers , how he comes face - to - face with the general and what happens thereafter constitute the rest of the drama .\nthree years later , winch now runs his dad\u2019s hong kong - based , multinational powerhouse , whose market value is estimated at $ 53 billion . as if trying to out - philanthropize both bill gates and warren buffett , he suddenly decides to sell off the entire company and transfer the proceeds to his own charitable foundation . but before that happens , the mess in burma comes back to haunt him via diane francken ( stone ) , a prosecutor who wants to tie the winch corporation to the village massacre , using malunai as a key witness .\nwhen billionaire nerio winch ( miki manojlovic ) is murdered , the focus shifts to his reluctant heir , largo ( tomer sisley ) , to take over the reins of his late father ' s major international corporation . but first he must overcome the onslaught of drug traffickers , assassins , militia fighters and double - dealing corporate - political traders to fulfill his destiny at the head of the table in this fast - paced euro action - adventure thriller . - - ( c ) music box films\nfortunately for the company , largo turns out to be a formidable knife fighter in the corporate sense ; fortunately for this sleek , empty thriller , he turns out to be a formidable knife fighter in the street sense too .\non the other hand , scenes of largo\u2019s previous visit to burma are depicted in a very shoddy manner ; it is as if all the burmese , save malunai and the victims , have no souls at all ! another thing that will irritate the indian audience , even those from the cities , is that the film has liberal use of the french and burmese languages alongwith english . although this is meant to impart authenticity to the drama and the film does have subtitles , it becomes difficult to watch , especially because the drama is not very engaging in the first place . the romantic track between largo and malunai is rather thin and not convincing . the confrontation scenes between largo and the prosecutor are also rather tame .\nlargo picks up new allies along the way , and the way in which we see how strong personal feelings outweigh monetary concerns is very believably pulled off . the directing is very good in most places , although there are a few scenes during the action where it is not entirely clear who does what . the acting is pretty flawless as well , although the way largo\u2019s valet servant , gauthier , had to retrace the steps of another character almost became too comical and marcus brody - like .\njulien rappeneau and j\u00e9r\u00f4me salle\u2019s story is ordinary and of the kind one has seen many times in hollywood films . of course , there are some interesting twists and turns in the plot , but they are all predictable . in a manner of speaking , the characterisation of largo as a good samaritan , who is fighting against the world , is something that starts getting on the viewer\u2019s nerves . that largo can fight , fly , skydive , steer a boat and do all that which is expected of a hero is not surprising . however , one starts getting irritated when largo is shown to be so stupid that he cannot fathom that his own people are plotting his downfall . moreover , the reason for his giving away his multi - billion empire to charity is not convincing enough .\nsaga adaptada ao cinema pelo franc\u00eas j\u00e9r\u00f4me salle (\nanthony zimmer\n) ,\nlargo winch\nfoca - se na constru\u00e7\u00e3o da sua personagem principal e processo de heran\u00e7a , enquanto que o segundo cap\u00edtulo que lhe sucedeu tr\u00eas anos passados d\u00e1 continua\u00e7\u00e3o ao jogo de trai\u00e7\u00f5es e duplas trai\u00e7\u00f5es , desta vez com um pano de fundo ligeiramente diferente -

catching thailand locations colorfully enough , the omnipresent music by the hardworking alexandre desplat ( the king\u2019s speech , the ghost writer ) doesn\u2019t make it any more thrilling . combined with some gaping holes in the plot ( such as the idea that the icc doesn\u2019t have a single security guard at night ) , there\u2019s not much to root for , and that goes for winch himself : the fact that he\u2019s a rich kid with a heart doesn\u2019t make him any more of a hero .\nthis second movie gets more personal , ending up basing the conflict closer to largo himself and his loved ones ( yes , he turns out to have some . spoilers prevent me from saying more ) and that forces the movie to work on a more emotional level than the first movie did . it accomplishes this well enough , managing even so to pepper the movie with plenty of impressive action and fight sequences that seem taken straight out of a better - than - average james bond movie . the dual dimension to the plot is that largo wants to sell his w group empire ( which employs 392 , 000 people ) and turn the 53 billion dollar net worth into a humanitarian fund . as he is warned about early on , this could garner him a lot of enemies among the world\u2019s wealthy power elite , because , as a friend tells him , the rich always have humanitarian projects for show , but the real money they spend on it is a pittance .\nwith its major set - pieces taking place in a cartoonish jungle compound straight out of missing in action ( or the recent rambo , which dealt with the burmese conflict in its own questionable manner ) , and with a ridiculous midair fight sequence that makes skydiving look as easy as pouring a cup of coffee , the film hardly showcases the action chops one expects from such a globe - trotting comic book fantasy . the addition of stone as a powerful member of the international criminal court is borderline laughable , and the scenes where she faces down winch are so ill - handled that the air fizzles out of them after a few lines .\nyou do feel something for the characters , sympathy , empathy , relief . but before you could figure out what it is , the plot has taken some unexplainable turn again . most of these twists and turns don\u2019t have enough punch to keep you hooked . the father son relationship too remains unexplored while largo\u2019s actions remain unjustified . sharon stone is intriguing enough for the little time that she comes on screen . so , all in all a decent enough watch if the weekend ends up being too boring for you .\nthe performances are rather good . tomer sisley does a fine job as the unconventional humanitarian tycoon . he is very good in the action scenes . he looks handsome and rugged . sharon stone , as prosecutor francken , is effective in a small role . ulrich tukur ( as cochrane ) is alright . mame nakprasitte ( as malunai ) does what is required of her . olivier barthelemy ( as simon ) gives a spirited performance as the gung - ho frenchman in burma / thailand . laurent terzieff ( as alexandre jung , a friend of largo\u2019s father ) is impressive . nicolas vaude ( as gauthier ) brings a smile to the audience\u2019s lips every time he comes on the screen . nirut sirichanya ( as general kyaw min ) is villainous to a fault .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\ndid all his own stunts . in order to prepare , he trained 4 to 5 times a week , in sessions lasting 2 to 3 hours .\n1 of 2 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nsharon stone stars in jerome salle and julien rappeneau ' s sequel -

youtube\ndespite all appreciations from the audience and film critics , ishti didn\u2019t win any national award . are you disappointed ?\na portrait of the one of our greatest social reformer of our times - ambedkar . the film documents the period between 1901 and 1956 . the film delves more into ambedkar ' s life as a reformer , . . . see full summary \u00bb\nit is a matter of concern . getting a distributor for a movie like ishti is almost impossible . if it was so , i could have got a producer . you know , i produced this film with the help of my friends as i failed to find a producer . we have got financial assistance from kerala film development corporation . what governments can do is the film developments corporations run so many theatres , like kfdc in kerala . if they will facilitate the release at least in government owned film theatres , it will be great deal .\nlouis tells us straightaway that his ambition is to become someone in the mould of tharadas from athirathram or sagar alias jacky from irupatham noottand . a few scenes are also used pay tributes to these anti - heroes .\nthis thin thread is padded up by mammootty ' s characterisation . balram the no - nonsense cop of the vintage film avanazhi has by now been promoted to the post of deputy superintendent . he is given the charge of investigating the arms case , which ultimately leads to tharadas , the suave smuggler from the 1980 ' s hit athirathram . he has by now become an international criminal .\nthe overall treatment of the film is of the typical masala genre of the 1980s , where every ingredient had a part to play , be it comedy or action .\ntechnically , this film is superior to the other films made these days . it is being touted as the most expensive one to be made in malayalam ; the lavishness is there to be seen in the locales . but the action sequences need better choreography and photography ; they look tacky when compared to the rest of the film .\ni t seems to be the time of reunions in malluwood ( the kerala film industry , for the uninitiated ) a s old teams come together to cash in on nostalgia .\nnever ! i am not at all . i don\u2019t want to comment on that . i don\u2019t believe that awards sponsored by the governments are the ultimate aim for making a movie . the acceptance among viewers and their appreciation are more important to me . the great sanskrit scholar , poet and jnanpith laureate shri satya vrat shastri was the chief guest in the preview function held in delhi . after the preview , he lauded the movie and shared his reflections with me . being the director , it was a great honour for me . the encouraging words and applause the film received in the film festivals , as i said earlier , gave me confidence and satisfaction . i want to exhibit the movie in various film festivals so that the film can reach out to the mass audience . their response is more valuable than any award .\nstands out among the myriad movies being churned out into our entertainment market every year . being the first sanskrit movie with a social theme and the first sanskrit film to be for international competition section in the iffi , etc . ,\nthe film is set in the first half of the twentieth century . ramavikraman namboothiri , the 71 - year - old patriarch of the illam ( brahmin household ) , is a vedic scholar and a somayaji , one who has the authority to preside over somayag . he yearns to perform athirathram that will earn him the position of akkithiri ( agnihotri ) and for this he is ready to even sacrifice the welfare of his kith and kin . a yajamanan ( chief priest ) preserves the fire from the yaga until his death where the fire is used to light the funeral pyre .\n\u2018go retro\u2019 - this seems to be the mantra ruling the malayalam film industry for the past couple of years . the game plan is to tap into the overflowing feeling of nostalgia of those who grew up in the 1980s and 90s .\ni became prosperous only after my marriage . my first film chance came on the sixth day of our marriage . my wife always makes suggestions about my work , but never actively interferes . as a critic of my performances , she can be very severe !\ni am so happy that apart from being a movie shot in sankrit , ishti got due recognition as it represented the whole indian cinema in iffi . obviously it was a recognition for the aesthetic value of the movie . so many senior directors and connoisseurs hailed the movie after the screening . the rousing response of the viewers in kolkata international film festival is also worth mentioning . the film received a wide acclamation after its previews in chennai and delhi . the media , both national and international , coverage was also amazing .\nnowadays film making is all about making money and it demands huge investment . it is seen that big budget movies dominate the market where quality and art value are marginalized in the supremacy of commercial films . how the films like ishti can survive in this scenario ?\npeals of laughter and recurring applause during its screening in the national capital , from an audience that\u2019s not so familiar with the time or the milieu of the plot , have shown that the film has been well - received . then , there are english subtitles to fall back on , if necessary .\nit looks a bit odd that a cinema , relatively a new platform for self - expression , shot in sanskrit and all its characters speak this ancient language which is rarely in use but at the same time , the film is widely accepted and hailed by erudite critics as well as common men in the street . how do you describe this ?\nthe film is a celebration of the feminine spirit that has the power to knock down powerful pillars of patriarchy . the message is loud and clear : the woman is the light of the family , the microcosm of society , and if she decides to exit from the confines , the superstructure will come crashing down howsoever strong its foundations might be .\nishti ( meaning search for the self ) , directed by debutant director g prabha , retired sanskrit professor , has all the elements of a world - class film \u2014 minus the money and marketing muscle . in his own words , it\u2019s the product of \u201c20 years of penance\u201d and each frame is a testimony to his eye for details , hard work and craftsmanship .\nyes , ishti is a sanskrit film . first of all , for any cinema , the language is not a barrier . our audience enjoys korean , iranian movies even without sub - titles . because cinema communicates through visual language . ishti too conveys the story through that universal visual language rather than through sanskrit dialogues . silence is also given importance throughout the film . it was my experience that viewers would express their apprehensions about the language before watching the movie but they would correct themselves and come out of that delusion after watching it . from their reactions while watching the movie , what i came to conclude that sanskrit didn\u2019t impede them . since all indian languages have sanskrit roots , viewers can follow it even without sub - titles but still we have included english subtitles also .\nmalayalam film actor mammootty was born to ismail ( an agriculturist ) and fatima ( a homemaker ) . he had two younger brothers ibrahim and zakariah ; and three sisters , ameena , sauda and shafina . he did his high school ( pre - degree ) at maharaja ' s college , thevara and then studied law at ernakulam government law college . it was during his days at . . .\nthe film narrates the story of a kerala brahmin family , as i said early it is set in 1940s . but it is not all about a small section of society . it addresses all sections of society . it is universal in nature . the subjects being discussed in the film have a universal relevance . they are gender equality , women\u2019s empowerment , freedom and education . overall , it is a female oriented subject . this is the story of a woman who tries to revolutionise the society through education . these issues pertaining to women\u2019s freedom and education and gender discrimination are still evident in our society . once women in namboothiri ( kerala brahmins ) brahmin caste fell prey to all these social evils . though namboothiris have come out of this over the time , these social evils still exist in our country in one religion or another .\nwatch the superhit movie\nathirathram\nstarring mammootty , mohanlal , seema and shankar . synopsis : tharadas is a ruthless smuggler whose uncle was murdered by rajesh . rajesh is married to thulasi who has dark past with tharadas . tharadas ' s cousin kills rajesh and accuses tharadas of the murder . rajesh ' s partner prasad and thulasi get revenge on tharadas , and tharadas kills chandu in turn . director : i . v . sasi producer : century music : m . s . viswanathan writer : john paul cast : mammootty , mohanlal , seema and shankar . for more blockbuster super hits movie stay connected and subscribe here : urltoken\nof course , i was influenced by so many social reformers of kerala like v t bhattathiripad and akkitham and their literary works . i have made documentary on the life of the famous poet akkitham . despite v t bhattathiripad was proficient in veda chanting he was illiterate . he started learning reading and writing after he was inspired by a girl . such incidents described in vt bhattathirippadu\u2019s autobiography gave me new insights and happened to be inspiration to embark on the very idea of the movie . later , in 2012 , i made a documentary on panjal athirathram . based on those experiences , i developed my story further . that\u2019s how the characters ramavikraman namboothiri and sreedevi took shape .\nishti ( literally , search for the self ) tells a story whose plot set in 1940s\u2019 kerala . ramavikraman namboothiri , the 71 - year - old head of a family , is a somayaji i . e he has performed the somayaga . his aspires to perform an athirathram to become an akkithiri . it is his ultimate ambition . ramavikraman namboothiri\u2019s third wife , 17 - year - old sreedevi ( played by newcomer athira patel ) , is educated . she inspires the younger members of the family , including ramavikraman namboothiri\u2019s eldest son raman namboothiri , to learn how to write and read . soon a conspiracy is hatched against the two . the then orthodox patriarchs allege illicit relations on them that creates unexpected and unconventional twists in the story . the ace south indian actor nedumudi acted as ramavikraman namboothiri .\nlike the protagonist in the film , she may appear meek but in her resides the power , shakti , that can blow the oppressive system asunder . fa\u00e7ade of morality and religion can\u2019t save it from falling into the dungeons of despair , destitution and darkness . one of the reasons for the decline of the namboothiri - brahmin dominance in kerala is this unjust social structure that heaped atrocities on women . thus , ishti serves as a warning to all those societies and communities , which want to keep their women wrapped in the veil of tyranny and oppression .\nbeing a sanskrit teacher for decades , i found sanskrit is very rich with many authentic ancient books on aesthetics , like natyashastra , than any other languages . this is the main reason why i wanted to make a film based on a social subject in sanskrit . this is the first sanskrit movie with a social theme . sanskrit as a language was more prevalent among brahmins . so it would sync with the theme if we tell the story of brahmins through sanskrit . it would be convincing too . so it is not like sanskrit for sanskrit\u2019s sake . it was indispensible as far as the theme of the movie is concerned .\nenter missing singer names as comma separated value . you can add as many number of singer name in the given field\nto access special sections for urltoken user , request you to signin / signup using this form . if you are an existing user , pls . login with your credentials or if you a new user , pls . register .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

- the old - world charm of changing locations , numerous characters with significance to the story , and all that .\nthe most difficult task for the makers was to weave a cohesive storyline around these two characters . they have pulled it off quiet well .\nthe circumstances that bring the two together ( or should we say against each other ) are convincing and the plot topical . there is a cache of arms discovered at a construction site . then it leads to typical criminal - police - politicians nexus .\nthe characterisation of tharadas leaves us unsatisfied ; he looks superficial without depth or emotions . even his love for supriya , the starlet played by katrina kaif , seems to be artificial . there are no high points in the love angle ; just a song picturised in dubai to underscore the romance .\nmammootty ' s performance cannot be said to be top class , but that he pulls off playing both parts without faltering is enough for us . one only wished that the confrontation scenes between the two were a little more imaginatively written .\nkaif is just reduced to being eye candy . she has nothing much to do .\nthe supporting cast of mukesh , jagadeesh , kalpana and others as balram ' s subordinates gets noticed . young actor arun , politician - actor rajmohan unnithan and siddique on the other side play their parts well .\nfinally , balram vs tharadas needs to be seen just for re - living the nostalgia of good old days , if not for anything else .\nwhat is a r rahman doing at a dubai mall ? reader talib sends us a picture .\nclick on the menu icon of the browser , it opens up a list of options .\nhere click on the \u201cprivacy & security\u201d options listed on the left hand side of the page .\na pop up will open with all listed sites , select the option \u201callow\u201c , for the respective site under the status head to allow the notification .\nonce the changes is done , click on the \u201csave changes\u201d option to save the changes .\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . this includes cookies from third party social media websites and ad networks . such third party cookies may track your use on filmibeat sites for better rendering . our partners use cookies to ensure we show you advertising that is relevant to you . if you continue without changing your settings , we ' ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on filmibeat website . however , you can change your cookie settings at any time . learn more\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthe source code for the wiki 2 extension is being checked by specialists of the mozilla foundation , google , and apple . you could also do it yourself at any point in time .\nwould you like wikipedia to always look as professional and up -

( the novel included a twin brother and a sibling rivalry plot that was dropped from the film . )\nthe son of the sheik and a dancing girl fall in love , but when he is made to believe she has betrayed him he seeks revenge .\nthe son is a sequel to the sheik adapted by frances marion from the novel by e . m . hull . it is best described as an interesting study in psychology , showing how a son of the desert inherited the love , passions and hate of his father .\nthe son on the sheik has been released on dvd in several different editions . the kino edition is available as a standalone movie while the image edition bundles it as a double feature with the sheik . the film is also available via streaming .\nthe son of the sheik shows a little , implies much and embraces the spicy nature of its tale but it does so tastefully . the plot is simple but tight and effective . this is partly the result of the filmmaker\u2019s excellent decision to jettison the source material .\nwhile this edition was an improvement over previous home video editions of the son of the sheik , we slightly favor the newer image edition ( see above ) for its open framing and cleaner stereo music score .\nall of the films on this image dvd feature music scores performed on synthesizers by eric beheim , who has written extensive notes on the scoring for the insert booklet . the disc also features an alternate music track of the 1937 reissue music and sound effects track for the son of the sheik .\nwith the success of the eagle , valentino had finally hit on the perfect balance of passion and action needed to draw men , as well as women , to his films . while the sheik had featured valentino in only one action scene , the son of the sheik took a page from douglas fairbanks and peppered the script with chases , fights and escapes .\nvalentino made the son of the sheik under protest . he didn ' t like the\nsheik\npersona and wanted to try different things , but a prolonged box office slump and major personal debts led him to revisit his biggest hit . early reaction to the son of the sheik was favorable , and valentino embarked on a tour in order to promote the film . while on tour , he collapsed in his hotel room in new york . eight days later , he was dead at the age of 31 of peritonitis and pleurisy caused by a punctured ulcer . the son of the sheik was his last film . aided no doubt by the monster publicity caused by his death , it was a huge hit .\nterror sheik\nabdel mageed al - zindani ' s son mohamed used his twitter page to call for jihad against the yemeni government on sunday .\nvintage short :\nthe sheik ' s physique\n( 3 min . )\nin 1921 , rudolph valentino scored a huge success in the sheik , the exotic yarn that crystallised his status as cinema\u2019s great lover . that image was so central to his popularity that the sequel , the son of the sheik , was made five years later . here , valentino appears as both the father and his son , the passionate desert leader who falls in love with yasmin , a dancing girl .\n[ pathe news : rudolph valentino dead ! ] ( 1926 ) is a portion of newsreel footage of the funeral of valentino . includes footage from the son of the sheik and an incidental glimpse of pola negri . transferred from an excellent 35mm print that is lightly speckled , moderately jittery and slightly damaged .\ntoday valentino is preserved in popular culture by the iconic character he played in these films . like chaplin ' s little tramp , his sheik and the saharan fantasy trappings surrounding him are permanent images from american silent cinema . this new double feature dvd of the sheik and the son of the sheik gives us the opportunity to see for ourselves what the fuss was all about . they aren ' t great art , but they are a lot of fun .\nthe elder mubarak ' s marginalization of political challengers , and gamal ' s swift rise through the ruling party hierarchy , have fed the speculation that the way is being paved for the son . that alarms egyptians who detest the idea of a father - son succession , as happened in syria .\ntags : james baldwin , notes of a native son , beacon press , edward p . jones , image\nidentical grandson : valentino plays both an older sheik ahmed ( wearing makeup that made him a lot older than the real valentino ever got ) and his headstrong son ahmed jr .\nrudolph valentino is one of a half - dozen names from the silent era that nearly everyone recognizes . the image of valentino as a bullfighter or a desert sheik is one that readily comes to mind when the general public thinks of silent film . but why is this matinee idol , all flashing eyes and pearl - white teeth , one of the silent era\u2019s most enduring stars ? a viewing of his final film , the son of the sheik , will readily reveal the charisma of rudolph valentino , that held women captive and made men jealous .\n\u201cwe are grieved and shocked at this great loss , \u201d said schenck , who then quickly pushed the son of the sheik into wide release . the publicity blast from valentino\u2019s death was phenomenal : a week\u2019s worth of tabloid deathbed reporting , followed by coverage of the crowds at the funeral parlor , the italian honor guard ( a fake ) , the suicides , and , finally , the funeral . when the books were balanced at the end of the year ,\nmen and women , fathers and children . ahmed , son of diana and sheik ahmed ben hassan , falls in love with yasmin , a dancing girl who fronts her father ' s gang of mountebanks . among the cutthroats is ghobah , a villainous moor to whom yasmin is promised . in ruins near touggourt , the city where yasmin dances , she and ahmed meet secretly until one night when her father and the gang capture the son of the sheik , torture him , and hold him for ransom . will ahmed believe that yasmin set him up for capture ? even if true love finds a way through webs of deceit , what will the vigorous and imposing sheik say about his son consorting with a dancing girl ?\nthe success of her first novel , the sheik ( 1919 ) , took her somewhat by surprise . a new english edition and american editions appeared in 1921 , coinciding with the release of paramount\u2019s film adaptation . this cast agnes ayres as the imperious , wilfull young englishwoman , diane mayo , against rudolph valentino as the \u2018devillishly handsome\u2019 despot , ahmed ben hassan \u2013 himself the long - lost son of an english aristocrat . the sequel novel , the sons of the sheik , sets one of diane\u2019s boys ( who has been brought up in england by the earl of glencaryll ) against another ( who has been brought up in the desert and , who in looks and in temperament , takes after his father ) . valentino was duly cast by george fitzmaurice as father and single son , equally ruthless in their subjugation of women , in \u2018the sheer force of their brutal mastery\u2019 , in the son of the sheik ( 1927 ) . in the novel , german secret service agents gesture towards conflicting political interests in north africa .\ni have seen both of these , and seem to recall that i much preferred son of sheik to the original . that ' s the one i want . i don ' t think having the first film is a necessary prerequisite to being able to understand or enjoy it .\nmen and women , fathers and children . ahmed , son of diana and sheik ahmed ben hassan , falls in love with yasmin , a dancing girl who fronts her father ' s gang of mountebanks . among the cutthroats is ghobah , a villainous moor to whom yasmin is promised . in ruins near touggourt , the city where yasmin dances , she and ahmed meet secretly until one night when her father and the gang capture the son of the sheik , torture him , and hold him for ransom . will ahmed believe that yasmin set him up for capture ? even if true love finds a way through webs of deceit , what will the vigorous and imposing sheik say about his son consorting with a dancing girl ? written by\nflashback : after the sheik and diana pop up about halfway through , the movie includes a flashback to them in the previous movie .\nlike much of the cinema of the silent era , the plot is secondary to the sheer elegance of the images , and fitzmaurice polishes them up like a master jeweler .\na sequel to the sheik ( 1921 ) , the movie that made rudolph valentino a superstar , this was valentino ' s final film ; he died within weeks of its opening . the son of the sheik is somewhat better than its precursor and marginally less unwholesome - - this time , the hero ' s motive for abducting and ( possibly ) raping the love of his life is vengeance , not sport . in . . . read more\nthis 1926 silent adventure film tells of the young and handsome son of sheik ahmed ben hassan ( both played by 1920s heartthrob rudolph valentino ) and his romance with a beautiful dancer who eventually betrays him . with live score performed by alloy orchestra .\nvalentino took great pleasure in playing both father and son in the film . agnes ayres , who is specially thanked in the opening credits , reprises her role as diana . she and valentino manage to have more chemistry in their short scenes together than they mustered for the entire running time of the sheik . valentino plays the senior sheik as a blustering but loving father in the do - as - i - say - not - as - i - did mode . diana is quick to remind her husband that their son is hardly the first to snatch a girl but the sheik sets out to give his son a stern lecture . don\u2019t miss valentino put a supportive arm around his own shoulder .\nthe son of the sheik was the final film of legendary silent - screen idol valentino , released shortly before his untimely death , and it is widely considered to be his finest effort . a follow - up to ( and vast improvement on ) the 1921 hit the sheik , this ripe slice of hollywood orientalism features valentino in a dual role as the original sheik and his headstrong son ahmed . the impulsive lad succumbs to the charms of yasmin ( banky ) , an exotic dancer exploited by her ne\u2019er - do - well father and his band of thieves , who kidnap and torture him . mistakenly believing that yasmin betrayed him , ahmed resolves to subject her to a revenge - worse - than - death . the 50 shades of grey of its day , the son of the sheik applies hollywood polish to the realm of borderline - transgressive sexual fantasy , with excellent trick photography , rousing action scenes , a solid script by frances marion , and impressive set design by william cameron menzies . silent film with recorded music score . 2k dcp digital restoration from the cohen film collection . ( mr )\nson of the sheik was a huge success and still works as an enjoyably camp period piece . valentino shines as both the wizened father and the energetic son . alas , sound technology made the movie obsolete the following year , and whether son would have revived valentino ' s flagging career ( never mind the question of whether he had a voice for sound films ) became a moot point \u0097 at the new york premiere , he collapsed and soon died at age 31 . his funeral was a phenomenon by itself ( more on that shortly ) .\nbut egypt ' s real attention is on the groom , the son of president hosni mubarak and _ many egyptians believe _ his heir - apparent . the marriage has put new attention on the son ' s controversial political role , and the uncertainty it creates in a key u . s . ally .\nthe sheik ( 1921 ) / the son of the shiek ( 1926 ) - rudolph valentino double feature [ region 1 ntsc dvd ] - official us region 1 image entertainment blackhawk films region 1 ntsc dvd release as pictured . b & w ; and color tinted . runtime 155 mins . special features : rudolph valentino ' s signature films together for the first time , both in excellent prints ! three valentino bonus shorts : rudolph valentino and his 88 american beauties , the sheik ' s physique and the original pathe newsreel coverage of valentino ' s funeral in august 1926 . new digital stereo music scores , plus alternate soundtrack with vintage score for ' the son of the sheik ' .\nas for the audio , the sheik sports an outstanding new dolby digital 2 . 0 stereo score compiled from period music by eric beheim and his electronic\ncafe maure orchestra .\nthe son of the sheik offers a choice between a fine beheim score or a 1937 recording of a vintage compilation score , complete with vocals . the beheim is the superior choice , and the disc comes with a slipsheet essay by beheim detailing the music he used and how he assembled it .\nthis is pure glorious fun with hunk valentino displayed shamelessly . he smoulders , he grins , and , the crowning glory , in ' son of the sheik ' , he is shackled to a ruined building , stripped to his trousers and boots , and whipped by his enemy captors . there are panoramic shots of desert scenery , and wonderfully unreconstructed orientalist depictions of ' arabs ' . can be viewed with a critical eye ( gender ! colonialism ! race ! ) , as a product of studio - era silent hollywood ( very interesting changes between the early ' sheik ' and the later ' son of the sheik ' in terms of editing , close - ups and use of intertitles ) , and simply as fun entertainment ( the dances ! the kissing ! the abductions on camel - back ! the bare - chested bondage ! ) .\nvalentino and the writers either don\u2019t understand the complexities of father - son relationships or choose to ignore them completely . i never get the impression that the elder sheik actually cares at all for his son , despite the arm - around - the - shoulder talk he gives him . instead , it feels emotionally vapid and as if it were inserted because someone liked the idea of having a split screen image . the chemistry between banky and valentino seems solid and largely does keep one interested in what will happen next .\n( and privately called the film \u201cson of a bitch\u201d ) , recalled in her memoir that valentino \u201cwas too tired to combat the overwhelming forces that governed his career . \u201d he took what comfort he could in his director , george fitzmaurice , whom he\u2019d long wanted to work with , and his costar vilma banky , a hungarian discovery on loan from sam goldwyn . he liked the challenge of playing both the old sheik and his son ( the film combines the novel\u2019s twin brothers into one character ) . schenck\u2019s market research , showing that 90 percent of valentino\u2019s fans wanted to see him as a sheik again , won the day .\nin spite of it being the cornier movie , though , i actually watch the sheik more often than its sequel . what can i say ? i love kitsch .\nthe music by the alloy orchestra itself has very tender moments . the rendezvous in the old ruins is largely appropriate . the action scenes contain pieces which give it a distinctly middle - eastern feeling . the alloy orchestra does tension and foreboding extremely well , as when the son of the sheik is about to be ambushed . forgive me if the following gets a bit too technical , but as a musician , i have a couple of critiques .\n( 1921 ) . agnes ayres stars as lady diana mayo , a headstrong western woman who infiltrates the private party of the handsome sheik ahmed ben hassan ( valentino ) . when the sheik later encounters diana in the desert , he abducts her and takes her to his sumptuous lair . unable to resist the sheik ' s cruel magnetism , diana ' s defiant nature crumbles and she begins to develop affectionate feelings for her captor .\nthe symbolic images found in the son of the sheik are so important to film lore that the movie takes on a resonance that it may not otherwise deserve . the first film had cemented valentino\u2019s image as the exotic lover , and the second movie\u2014one of the first high - profile film sequels\u2014was designed to give audiences another opportunity to swoon over valentino . the follow - up was a more polished production than its predecessor and possessed tongue - in - cheek humour not found in the original .\nsharm el sheik , egypt - - the bride is the daughter of a rich businessman . an intelligence chief was the witness at the wedding . and the lavish party celebrating the week - old marriage was held friday night at the very resort where world leaders gathered to discuss iraq .\nsupplementary material includes a filmed introduction of the film by orson welles ; the documentary short film valentino : his life and times ; the short film valentino at the beach ( aka the sheik\u2019s physique ) ; an original theatrical trailer of the young rajah ( 1922 ) ; and a gallery of newspaper headlines announcing valentino\u2019s illness and death .\ne . m . hull , who had authored the novel the sheik , had written a sequel in 1925 called sons of the sheik . ahmed and diana married and had twin boys , one of whom looks just like mom and was raised in england for some ridiculous reason and the other who looks just like dad and was raised in the desert . east vs . west is once again played out in the form of sibling rivalry .\nbut the biggest complaints against the government involve its tight control of the political process and the country ' s weak economy .\nwhile the story is much the same as that of the first film , the development of that story is dramatically better in every respect . screenwriter frances marion (\nbeacon press has just released a new edition of notes of a native son , with an introduction by novelist edward p . jones ( the known world ) . i ' ll let jones eloquently sum up :\nthe son of the sheik features a better - structured and more - pleasing story than the original 1921 film . it is more romantic and features several good action sequences . however , it is , ultimately , what it is : a rudolph valentino romance vehicle . the film is probably not that important , beyond the presence of valentino , in the grand scale of the silent era , but it remains a pleasing film and rises above the usual fare of the time . hungarian - born actress vilma banky does a good job as valentino\u2019s love interest , the street dancer yasmin . agnes ayres here reprises her 1921 role . interestingly , character actor karl dane has nearly as many close - ups as valentino . even technically , the film stands out . the split - frame cinematography that allows rudolph valentino to play both the sheik and his son is excellent and shows no sign of frame jitters between the two exposures . \u2014 carl bennett\nif you have the slightest interest in the phenomenon called rudolph valentino , this terrific disc is absolutely the place to start . the screen ' s great male sex god of the 1920s had a mammoth success with the sheik , a slice of desert romance both exciting and completely absurd . valentino plays a dashing\nsheik of araby\nwho rather forcefully romances an adventure - minded english lady ( agnes ayres ) ; if the story creaks with victorian storytelling conventions , it also works . five years later valentino returned to the sands with his final film , the son of the sheik , playing both his original role and the sheik ' s impetuous boy . more madness here , and a wild saber duel on horseback at night reminds us they don ' t make movies like this any more . valentino ' s faux - exotic allure may seem curious to modern viewers , but squint hard and you can imagine the frenzy caused by the sultry eyes and rapacious grin . - - robert horton\nimage entertainment ' s sparkling new dvd edition is another accomplished piece of work from film preservationist david shepard ( the lost world , slapstick encyclopedia , dr . mabuse , nosferatu ) . the sheik comes from a 35mm nitrate master in splendid condition with all the original ornate title cards . color tinting of the black - and - white image is provided according to the original paramount cutting continuity . the son of the sheik is from a 1937 reissue print taken from the original negative , with a few shots replaced from later material , and remains untinted . both look quite good , considering . the sheik in particular is clean and clear , and with no signs of frame gaps or other splices . son is somewhat worse for wear , but it ' s still in appealing good condition . although they ' re a bit soft and signs of age are always present , you ' d be a cad to find reasons to grouse about these prints .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nthe sheik is populated by\narabs\nwho look just like southern californians , and its comic - book idealization of the sahara as a place\nwhere the children of araby dwell in happy ignorance\nis now even less culturally sensitive than it was in the ' 20s . so what ? the sets and costumes are lavish , and the sheik never pretended to be more than an arabian nights romance novel given a lush hollywood treatment . it appears on the american film institute ' s list of the 100 most passionate movies of all time .\nthe son of a senior shia cleric executed by saudi arabia has challenged david cameron to speak out about what he called the murder of his father , sheikh nimr al - nimr , and the death sentence that hangs over his cousin , ali al - nimr .\nthe movie scenario sensibly chose to eliminate the english son . while they were at it , the filmmakers got rid of the silly and dated plot involving oh -

in - cheek . i\u2019m not sure that is the right way to describe it . while there is definite comedy relief , mostly in the form of the jovial karl dane , the action and romance are played straight . perhaps a better term would be self - aware .\nhere , in the role that he ' s best remembered for , valentino plays sheik ahmed ben hassan , who spies free - willed lady diana mayo ( agnes ayers ) in his desert camp and determines that she will be his . lady diana finds the refined , paris - educated sheik alluring , yet she resists his amorous advances . but when she ' s kidnapped by the villainous omair ( walter long ) , who promises her a fate worse than death , the heroic sheik and his army charge into fun action sequences to rescue diana in the nick of time . with sheik ahmed severely wounded in the attack , diana nurses him back to health and vows everlasting love to her adventurous hero .\nchildhood friends are torn apart when one of them marries the woman the other once fiercely loved .\n, the title character kidnaps the independent lady diana mayo as she\u2019s adventuring unprotected ( except for an arab guide and crew of servants ) in the desert . the film version is vague about how far diana and the sheik go , but the book spelled out their physical relationship quite clearly . after weeks of captivity , diana realizes she\u2019s in love with the masterful sheik , who is then revealed to be an englishman under his flowing robes . hull disapproved of miscegenation , if not rape . while the sexual and racial politics may seem hopelessly retrograde to modern audiences , at the time , as david robinson noted in sight and sound , \u201cto have read this slightly pornographic tale was the mark of the new woman . \u201d\nosamal saraya , editor in chief of the state -

( in the first movie , unlike the book , ahmed senior kidnaps diana but never actually rapes her , so he does have a little high ground . not much , but some . )\nby 1926 valentino had changed , too . the survivor of two divorces , a bigamy trial , and contract battles that had kept him offscreen for more than a year , valentino was sick of being the sheik . he told a reporter for collier\u2019s in 1925 that \u201cif any producer comes to me with a sheik part i am going to murder him ! \u201d he was weary of the intense scrutiny his fame provoked . his role as the great lover had sparked both devotion and antipathy , the latter exemplified by dick dorgan\u2019s famous \u201csong of hate . \u201d printed in\nvalentino plays ahmed , the spoiled son of sheik ahmed ben hassan and diana , his english wife . ahmed has been carrying on a secret love affair with a dancer named yasmin ( lovely vilma banky ) . yasmin\u2019s father , andre ( george fawcett ) is a frenchman who leads a renegade band of entertainers . they moonlight as bandits but it is honest yasmin\u2019s dancing that supports them .\na taste of the lash : ahmed is subjected to a prolonged whipping by a rival sheik who creepily calls him\nmy young lion .\nhis rape of yasmin is presented as revenge for this whipping as he wrongly believes she is responsible .\ni believe that there are plenty of obstacles facing the succession , including the army ,\nhe told the associated press .\na small protest friday in cairo ' s main square was indicative of the mood just before the reception at the posh four seasons hotel here in sharm el -

realized story . while some have criticized the use of elements of slapstick in\ntoday , eight decades later , it ' s disquieting to imagine the effect legendary screen lover rudolph valentino had on our grand - or great - grandmothers . by the time he starred in paramount ' s the sheik ( 1921 ) , this charismatic matinee idol had become the first full - on hollywood male sex symbol . with his lithe build and graceful style , he gazed at his heroines with a seductive blend of passion and melancholy , guaranteeing to moisten the sensibilities of enthusiastic female audiences . when the valentino craze reached its pinnacle with a kitschy desert romance melodrama , the sheik , women fainted in the aisles and arab motifs influenced fashions and interior designs .\njune 2 \u2013 8 citizen jane : battle for the city in 1960 jane jacobs\u2019s book the death and life of great american cities sent shockwaves through the architecture and planning worlds , with its exploration of the consequences of modern planners\u2019 and architects\u2019 reconfiguration of cities . jacobs was also an activist , who was involved in many [ \u2026 ]\nthe sheik catapulted famous players\u2019 newly signed young actor , rudolph valentino , into a kind of stardom unseen before . from the moment he snatches costar agnes ayres from her saddle , followed by a title card reading , \u201clie still , you little fool ! \u201d valentino became forever identified with the role .\nit is a sequel to one of valentino ' s most popular films , the sheik . in this one the protagonist is ahmed , son of the sheik from the original film . like his father , this ahmed falls in love with a beautiful white woman . but unlike the first film , this love interest , yasmin , is not a spoiled socialite , but instead a young dancer in a traveling vaudeville troupe . the vaudeville troupe has a second and more profitable sideline in banditry . they follow yasmin to a rendezvous with ahmed , kidnap ahmed , and hold him for ransom . ahmed is rescued , but not before bandit chief ghabah lies to him and tells him that yasmin set him up . an embittered ahmed swears revenge against both yasmin and her bandit clan .\n, i found it to be a welcome change from the stormy melodrama that made up the bulk of the film . the story ' s moments of comedy blended easily with the dramatic action and helped keep the film from getting too heavy - - this is supposed to be fun , after all .\n, but combined twin sons into one character , ahmed . valentino himself suggested that he play both ahmed and his father . agnes ayres , who had played the sheik ' s love diana , reprised the role in a cameo . ahmed falls in love with a dancing girl , played by vilma banky . she ' s the daughter of a bandit , and when ahmed thinks she ' s betrayed him , he prepares to have his way with her , but is stopped in the nick of time by his father . much swashbuckling ensues , with father and son taking on the thieves .\nvalentino plays sheik ahmed in his most famous screen romance . . . desperate to woo english socialite diana ( agnes ayres ) , sheik ahmed kidnaps her and whisks her away to his luxurious desert tent . at first she resists his advances but when she is kidnapped by ruthless desert bandits she begins to realise that she has true feelings for her sultry lover . but will the sheid arrive in time to rescue her from the clutches of the bandits . . .\nthe story itself is not fundamentally different from the original . the sheik from the first film now has a grown son ( valentino played both roles ) , who is just as impulsive and libidinous as his father was at his age . when he is assaulted and then held prisoner by the family of the dancing girl he has been wooing , he mistakenly believes she betrayed him and so seeks revenge on her . once he realizes his mistake , he must first win back her trust and then rescue her from her evil bandit family and the no - good scum they want her to marry . nothing unusual there .\nthis special screening is supported by manchester metropolitan university and forms part of the \u2018sex\u2019 strand of their 2015 - 16 humanities in public festival .\nwith the music provided , the movie\u2019s comedic moments can be almost entirely lost . the scene , for example , when the bad guy is trying to mount a horse and valentino whistles to make the horse throw the guy off is , to my eyes , a comedic moment ( both valentino and the shorter bad guy are laughing throughout\u2026and vilma banky\u2019s character is seen to be smiling ) , but the music causes the scene to play as if a man is about to be killed . later in the film , when the shorter of the bad guys is hanging about as a result of valentino\u2019s escape , the taller one ( who got dumped off the horse ) calls him \u201cson - of - an - owl\u201d to which the shorter man replies , \u201cmy mother wasn\u2019t an owl\u2014only a little cukoo . \u201d but the music loses this comedic moment entirely , even though the two guys are there to provide comedic levity .\nit was a decision that amnesty international described as \u201cpart of a campaign by the authorities in saudi arabia to crush all dissent , including those [ activists ] defending the rights of the kingdom\u2019s shia muslim community\u201d .\nprincipal cast : rudolph valentino ( ahmed / the sheik ) , vilma banky ( yasmin ) , john fawcett ( andre ) , montague love ( ghabah ) , karl dane ( ramadan ) .\nmolly , the eldest child at a baby farm hidden deep in a swamp , must rescue the others when their cruel master decides that one of them will be disposed of .\n( 1921 ) and , when a contract dispute forced him off the screen in 1923 , he went on a dance tour to advertise mineralava face cream . however , as the sheik , he leaves dancing to the harem girls and shows off his horsemanship instead .\nit made valentino a star . the print was of poor quality . seeing the old title cards was the best thing on the dvd . i will look for a better version on dvd .\nthe music soundtrack does reveal the age of the original recording . occasional audio distortion as the organ overloads either the original recording system or ( more likely ) the rerecording to the film print\u2019s optical soundtrack , but it is far cleaner and does not leak and randomly crackle in active surround channels like the republic edition . in addition , the soundtrack on the dvd drops out a couple of times and is flawed by an audio thump at 40 : 47 .\nunited press international is a leading provider of news , photos and information to millions of readers around the globe via urltoken and its licensing services .\nexacerbating their grief is the fact the nimr al -

craving , freely sexual beings who would openly enjoy a good roll in the sand . so it ' s no surprise that the sheik came under fire as being\nmorally objectionable ,\nand some critical reviewers called for its censorship . of course , valentino was never confused with a great actor \u0097 but he was the right man at the right time . like a jazz age leonardo dicaprio , he was handsome , not altogether untalented , and exuded a delicate , rather fey sexuality that made women swoon and red -

yes no | report this\n. the programme consists of lively comedy routines , feisty dance numbers and sensational beauty parades - something for everyone in fact . the show ' s title does however cause some concern and detective michel leboeuf must attend the rehearsals to ensure that the show does not contain anything too risqu\u00e9 . robert mistakes leboeuf for one of his comedy performers and offers him a prominent part in the revue . .\n. whilst there is not much plot to speak off , mostly a succession of music hall acts of varying degrees of charm and sophistication , the film offers an enticing nostalgia trip , taking us back to a time when live entertainment was as popular as the cinema . and watching the film you wonder how this could possibly have been the case . protracted beauty parades , repetitive prat falls , hopelessly inept musicians - these were once the stock in trade of the french music hall but they are unlikely to be considered quality entertainment by today ' s standards .\ndated though the film is , it does abound with a sense of fun and provides a lasting tribute to the music hall . the icing on the cake is the ensemble of great comedy performers that make up dh\u00e9ry ' s celebrated company , including colette brosset , michel serrault , jacqueline maillan and louis de fun\u00e8s , all of whom would feature prominently in mainstream french cinema in the years to come , none more so than de fun\u00e8s . another comedy giant , francis blanche , is also roped in to lend his support . this was the first film in which michel serrault appeared - he has a non - speaking part as a retarded musician . whilst robert dh\u00e9ry was most active in the theatre , he directed half a dozen other films for the cinema , which include\npopular : trivia , history , america , television , tv , usa , geography , world , . . . more\nwest end theatre - goers who were around in the mid - 1950s are likely to remember a hit french revue called la plume de ma tante , which entertained audiences at the garrick theatre for three years , before being equally successful in new york . the show ' s creator , director and star was robert dh\u00e9ry , who has died aged 83 . full of zany musical numbers and sketches , la plume de ma tante was france ' s answer to the crazy gang .\nwhen it opened for a three - year run on broadway , louis kronenberger , the american drama critic , wrote :\nit spoke a sort of compound - fractured english and was in all other aspects as french as it was funny . the question of speech hardly mattered anyhow , because it stressed the international comic language of leers and leaps , pratfalls and double takes . in contrast to the season ' s mechanical gag shows , that alone would call for thanks . but , with la plume , the quality of merci is not strained , the show shone by more than contrast . la plume had three great merits : madness , precision and charm .\nperhaps the most memorable sketch was the one that ended the first act , in which four monks attempt , in a madly acrobatic manner , to pull four bell ropes . this kind of sketch came from dh\u00e9ry ' s background in the circus and music hall .\nborn robert l\u00e9on fourrey , in the small town of dh\u00e9ry ( hence his adopted name ) , he joined a travelling circus at the age of 14 . after studying at the celebrated ren\u00e9 simon drama school in paris , he began performing in cabaret and music hall .\nthe following year came la plume de ma tante . the queen went to see it in london , and the cast won tony awards in new york . at a charity night to help the victims of the flood disaster in fr\u00e9jus in 1959 , rex harrison , claudette colbert and laurence olivier took roles in the show .\nafter the dazzling long run , dh\u00e9ry returned to the cinema with la belle am\u00e9ricaine ( 1961 ) , in which he played a parisian factory worker who manages to buy a huge cadillac (\nthe beautiful american\nof the title ) , at a bargain price , for the birthday of his wife ( brosset ) . however , it gets him into all sorts of trouble . in his films , of which this was the most widely seen , dh\u00e9ry retained his madcap comic skills , but only in short bursts ; unlike the supercar ( seen in colour at the finale ) , dh\u00e9ry was not built for long distances .\nhe produced , directed , wrote and starred in allez france ! ( 1964 ) , which followed the insane adventures of a french rugby supporter ( dh\u00e9ry ) who crosses the channel for the england - france match , gets lost , finds himself at a dentist ' s , and in a policeman ' s uniform . most of the humour , which played on french and english misunderstandings , was as subtle as a rugby scrum and almost as funny . but dh\u00e9ry , with support from his wife , diana dors and arthur mullard , was a likeable clown , who would always come up with surprising visual gags .\nhe is survived by colette brosset , his fellow artist and wife since 1942 .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\ncan ' t find a movie or tv show ? login to create it .\nby signing up for an account on tmdb , you can post directly to twitter and facebook .\nyou need to be logged in to continue . click here to login or here to sign up .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthis product uses the tmdb api but is not endorsed or certified by tmdb .\nalthough updated daily , all theaters , movie show times , and movie listings should be independently verified with the movie theater .\na small - town policeman is informed that \u201cnaked women\u201d are dancing in a revue at a local variety theater . being the guardian of public morals that he is , he decides to stroll on down there and check it out for himself .\nthis film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what\u2019s now showing\nsuccession de sketchs et de d\u00e9fil\u00e9s de jolies parisiennes d\u00e9nud\u00e9es , r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement interrompus par de burlesques interm\u00e8des . cin\u00e9ma music - hall avec la troupe des branquignols .\nouch ! this movie is so bad ! what were they thinking ? it ' s strictly a showcase for beautiful women . in fact , its only originality is probably the amount of nudity for the time .\nlouis de fun\u00e8s ' talent is wasted . he ' s reduce to imitate a chicken . which is funny , but to carry it on for the entire film is absurd and stupid . oh ! and by the way . . . the musical numbers are awful . skip this one , by all mean .\nthe titles still missing from this list are : i [ updated 07 . 13 . 16 ] i am legend ( 1994 ) dir : johnny legend if looks\u2026"]}

[ 20 ] although waltz with bashir relies on the interview structure , the filmmaker has not simply linked a character voiceover to existing footage but rather created images to perform this role . this creative flexibility explains why animation was always the intended format , as yoni goodman the director of animation on waltz with bashir states :\nbeirut \u2014 lebanese auds have finally been able to \u201cwaltz with bashir\u201d despite the fact that israeli helmer ari folman\u2019s oscar - nommed pic is officially banned in the country . umam , an org that archives lebanon\u2019s history and war memory through written and audiovisual materials , screened the film at its cultural center , a restored warehouse in a [ \u2026 ]\nin israel , \u201cwaltz with bashir\u201d is considered an anti - war movie . but in lebanon , the film is banned . pirated dvds of the movie are available , though . and one beirut resident , german - born monika borgmann , managed to acquire a copy from a german distributor . she recently organized a private screening in the city .\nthe aesthetic qualities of each film are partially what distances many from calling persepolis a documentary . drawn in simple , black and white imagery reminiscent of wood block prints , persepolis eschews the sense of simple naturalism waltz with bashir displays . evelyn hielkema describes the aesthetics exhibited in both the film and its graphic novel source material , noting that the film employs\nfilmmaker reflects on ' waltz with bashir ' reception although ari folman ' s father warned him not to create the animated film about israeli involvement in a massacre during the 1982 lebanon war , the filmmaker did so anyway , in part to dissuade teenagers from going to war . to folman ' s surprise , it was embraced by the israeli government .\n\u201cit only presents part of the truth , not the whole truth . it is as if the director is saying , \u2018we ( israelis ) did not commit this crime , the phalangists did , \u2019\u201d said ziad moussa , a retired teacher in the west bank city of ramallah where \u201cwaltz with bashir\u201d was screened at the franco - german cultural centre .\ntwenty - five years later , folman , now an israeli film director , has made an animated movie about his lebanese experience called waltz with bashir . a moderate success in israel , it has done extraordinarily well abroad . it has won the british independent films award for best foreign film of 2008 ; the los angeles film critics award and the national society of film critics award for best animated film of 2008 ; the 2009 golden globes award for best foreign film ; and the 2009 directors guild of america\u2019s outstanding directional achievement award . and the best of the best may be yet to come , for as i write , waltz with bashir is also an oscar finalist in the best foreign film category .\nmy guess ( readers of commentary will know if i am right by the time they read this ) is that waltz with bashir will win its oscar . what doubts i had were dispelled the other day by watching international tv coverage of the fighting in gaza . images , images . and how balanced they were . here dead palestinian children in jabalya\u2014and here a hole in the wall of a home in sderot . waltz with bashir will win because it is a perfect opportunity to be similarly balanced . what terrible things israel has done\u2014and how wonderful it is to have souls sensitive enough to admit it . a country that knows its chopin can\u2019t be all bad . my friend tells me it\u2019s opus 64 .\nwaltz with bashir returns to the traumatic space of the first lebanon war to position the protagonist as victim and redeem him from his tribulations . the horrifying archival images of slaughtered palestinian men , women and children at the end of the film are then detached from their historical and political context and provide a kind of catharsis for the protagonist . [ 26 ]\nthe less charitable explanation , of course , is that the film isn\u2019t terribly good . pleasant , certainly , and executed with commendable sincerity , but swaddled in the kind of safe , maudlin cinematic cotton - wool that never threatens any real danger , despite the potentially macabre directions the material could go in . it\u2019s a cozy piece of work that doesn\u2019t dare approach \u201cwaltz with bashir\u201d for formal invention or \u201cthe class\u201d for storytelling verve .\nonce folman completed editing the video version of\nbashir ,\nhe , polonsky and director of animation yoni goodman broke it into storyboards .\nwaltz with bashir ( hebrew : \u05d5\u05d0\u05dc\u05e1 \u05e2\u05dd \u05d1\u05d0\u05e9\u05d9\u05e8 ) is a 2008 israeli animated documentary film written and directed by ari folman . based on actual events , it depicts folman in search of his lost memories and experiences as a 19 - year old israeli defense forces infantryman during the 1982 lebanon war and the sabra and shatila massacres .

of \u201dcartoon\u201d or \u201dwar documentary\u201d to be ? classified as its own brilliant invention . a\nthis nomination is the latest in a long line of accolades , nominations and awards for the critically acclaimed film . earlier this month , waltz with bashir was named best foreign language film at the 66th annual golden globe awards . that prestigious award came just days after its win for the film as best foreign language film at 14th annual broadcast film critics association\u2019s critics\u2019 choice awards .\n' waltz with bashir\nis a devastating animated film that tries to reconstruct how and why thousands of innocent civilians were massacred because those with the power to stop them took no action . why they did not act is hard to say . did they not see ? not realize ? not draw fateful conclusions ? in any event , at the film ' s end , the animation gives way to newsreel footage of the dead , whose death is inescapable .\nsivan concludes by stating that \u201cyou were cast in the role of nazi against your will\u201d . the characters provide a justification for a lack of agency and responsibility because of the over - determining history of the holocaust . such explanations for inaction can be connected with the way in which the animation in waltz with bashir severs intention from movement , creating a logic of determinism that is both part of the documentary\u2019s seductive power , and part of its problematic politics .\nari folman , the director , served with the israeli army in lebanon in 1982 and it was his unit that fired the flares that illuminated sabra / shatila .\nwaltz with bashir\ndepicts mr . folman ' s personal struggle to come to terms with his experiences from 26 years ago in lebanon . the movie won the palme d ' or at the cannes film festival , then received a golden globe award , and was the favorite for the foreign film academy award . it lost out to the japanese film\ndepartures .\nthe film was honored with a golden globe this sunday for best foreign film .\nthe film\u2019s title is as important as it is enigmatic at first . early on , folman\u2019s youthful self is told \u201cbashir ' s been killed . you\u2019ll be in lebanon in a few hours\u201d \u2013 and he is . during much of the film the viewer is as lost as folman . who the hell is bashir , and what did his death have to do with folman ?\nin the end , everything is a matter of context . the trouble with waltz with bashir is that it has none . it is all images and no commentary . or rather , the little commentary it provides , like that of the tv news , is entirely image - driven . folman\u2019s film is a child of our times , which likes its visual bites , like its sound bites , to be compact . we do not have the patience for history .\ninstead of being banned or otherwise attacked , waltz with bashir has been embraced by much ( although not all ) of zionist society and the government itself , currently run by sharon\u2019s appointed successor . although surprised , folman understands why . the facts as they are presented in his film are \u201cnot controversial in israel , \u201d he said in a uk interview ( november 20 , 2008 , audio file at filmdetail . com ) . like the knesset commission , the film admits that israel waltzed with bashir but tends to put the worst blame on \u201cgoyim , \u201d covering up the full story , and , most of all , why it happened . its israeli critics are concerned with the film\u2019s effect abroad .\nboth persepolis and waltz with bashir have their creators consciously crafting their own images and identities , reenacting various traumas through the medium of animation to process the memories for the filmmaker and the audience . as animators become actors through the creation of the character performances ( wells 1998 , p . 107 ) , so too do the artists behind animated documentaries , with the films ( including setting , characters , and voice acting ) serving as a performance of the real world .\nfollowing the film , we will welcome from jerusalem ram rahat - goodman , longtime activist with the israeli refusenik organization yesh gvul ( there is a limit ) . attendance is free and first come , first serve . seats are limited ! if you don\u2019t want to take your chances and would like to reserve a place , contact amnesty international concordia at info @ urltoken .

( sony pictures classics 2008 ) and uk ( mubi uk 2012 ) trailers both emphasize the factuality of the events depicted , with \u201cbased on actual events\u201d and \u201cbased on a true story\u201d appearing at the beginnings of each trailer , respectively . the american press release kit ( sony pictures classics 2008 ) positions the film as an animated documentary , quoting folman as saying that \u201cwaltz with bashir was always meant to be an animated documentary\u201d ( p . 4 , emphasis in original ) . press kits developed and distributed by sony picture classics frame waltz with bashir as an animated documentary , a position that circulates through reportage to shape audience genre expectations . these expectations are necessary to \u201c ( 1 ) both standardize and differentiate products , and ( 2 ) market movies to many individuals\u201d ( staiger 1997 , p . 10 ) . film critics , in creating reportage around the film , channel distributor\u2019s descriptions and labels , further situating waltz with bashir as an animated documentary among audiences . as a . o . scott\u2019s coverage illustrates , film critics at the time found the term animated documentary to be \u201ca phrase that sounds at first like a cinematic oxymoron\u201d ( 2008 , p . 1 ) , but dutifully replicated the framework presented by the distributors of animated documentary in their reviews .\nbut the lebanese daily a - safir , which is sympathetic towards hezbollah guerrillas with whom israel fought a war in 2006 , said \u201cwaltz\u201d was simply an attempt by folman to \u201cpurge his personal memory\u201d of its ugly recollections of the 1982 offensive .\nit\u2019s important to show israeli films because this demonization is not useful at all . in the end , everybody has at one point to live together in this region . and i believe that at least understanding the so - called \u201cother\u201d could be a step against this demonization .\nadds borgmann , on why she thinks people in lebanon should see the israeli movie , \u201cwaltz with bashir . \u201d\nthe final two slots go to ari folman\u2019s critically - feted animated doc \u201cwaltz with bashir , \u201d which recounts israel\u2019s ill - fated invasion of lebanon in 1982 ;

180 people\nsatisfied their guilty pleasures\non september 13 , 2003 watching a screening of saathiya organized by tavishi alagh at anthology film archives . the audience members comprised a wide spectrum of backgrounds , from hard core bollywood fans to newcomers who had never seen a hindi film before . the screening included a behind - the - scenes photo exhibit on the film and an after - party with san francisco ' s dj rhino _ fx featuring an eclectic mix of music including remixed music from the film .\nsaathiya written by gulzar ( as sampooran singh gulzar ) composed by a . r . rahman performed by sonu nigam courtesy of saregama hmv\nbecause i wanted the film to look fresh . madhavan had already signed a couple of hindi films then .\nfor those who don ' t know , vivek oberoi - rani mukherji starrer saathiya which released on 2002 , was a remake of the tamil film , alaipayuthey , which was directed by mani ratnam and featured r . madhavan and shalini kumar in lead roles .\nbut comparisons are bound to happen . did you think of that when you accepted the offer to direct this film ?\ni have known vivek since kindergarten . he is like what you see him in my film . he has acted in\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\ni purchased this film because i am a fan of shah rukh khan and he has a special appearance in this film . he appeared in the second half of the film for quite a few minutes and it was very enjoyable to see him . rani mukerji stars in this film and i really enjoy seeing her in films . i believe the name of the male lead is vivek oberoi . he did a good job in his role . this film tells the love story of two young adults who marry dispite opposition from family . it depicts the reality of life for newlyweds . it also shows how true love rises above trivial matters in the face of a major crisis .\nthe remo d ' souza - directed film also stars prabhu deva and is slated to release on june 19 in 2d and 3d formats .\n, which elaborates on the love story of the film ' s lead pair suresh and vinnie , played by varun dhawan and shraddha kapoor respectively .\nwas offered to me , i could only say yes . for me , mani sir asking me to do the film was an achievement in itself .\nsoundtrack , which features the same music from the tamil film . clearly , those who enjoyed the tamil music will also find the hindi version catchy .\nto write a new script . i knew he would have a different approach to the film . at the same time , we didn ' t want to lose the essence . it is a treatment - based film , not plot - oriented . the relationship between the characters and their performances are important .\ni think there is no film that shouldn ' t be remade . if a story is beautiful , it should be told again and again .\nafter working as an assistant director on mani ratnam\u2019s dil se . . , shaad ali made his directorial debut in 2002 with saathiya , a hindi remake of ratnam\u2019s alaipayuthey . having since assisted ratnam on two features , and directing three of his own ( bunty aur bubli being the most notable ) , ali has returned to reworking his mentor\u2019s hits with ok jaanu , an adaptation of ok kanmani , a 2015 ratnam film . i haven\u2019t seen the original , which is probably for the better ; saathiya was fine , but only if you weren\u2019t comparing it to alaipayuthey .\nat a time when hindi cinema rolled the curtains when the protagonists got married , saathiya told a tale of what happens next post that ' happily ever after ' . what made the film even more memorable was vivek oberoi - rani mukherji ' s heart - melting romance , a . r rahman ' s soul - stirring music and gulzar ' s beautiful lyrics .\nthe film that truly announced ali ' s arrival as a filmmaker was bunty aur babli , which , was also one of the first solo hits of abhishek bachchan . written by jaideep sahni , bunty aur babli was also the first time ali was not encumbered by the rigid template that is somewhat inescapable while remaking a film .\nthe initial script was at the back of my mind . i wanted to get the images of the film out of my mind . that is why i asked gulzar\nhe said , ' it doesn\u0092t look like your first film . ' that comment was a big compliment for me . mani sir is a man of few words .\nhile the hindi film industry tries to get its act together hoping to salvage the crucial december month , at least one producer has decided to find solutions from the south .\nthe film that ok jaanu reprises , ok kanmani , is perhaps the weakest of mani ratnam ' s films . it also a film which even some die - hard ratnam fans found difficult to sit through . ali is the best person to reinterpret the film for the hindi audience but this rather safe refuge of the filmmaker where he seems to return to his guru when he needs a miracle , to this writer ' s mind , has somewhere robbed hindi films of a filmmaker who could have been so much more .\ndelhi 6 ( cd ) ( 2009 ) ( a . r . rahman / oscar winner for slumdog millionaire / indian music / bollywood movie / indian cinema / hindi film )\nthis film was great ! ar rahman is a great composer , and this film is just another perfect soundtrack from him . i loved all the songs . the film in itself is very , very good ! rani mukerji and vivek oberoi had incredible chemistry , and they were great in this film . it makes me sad that vivek didn ' t become the big star he obviously was meant to be . the story was able to keep me interested throughout , and i liked how we were able to see everything an everyday couple go through without anything being too outlandish . it made the story more realistic and relatable . if only we could break out into beautiful song and dance numbers from time to time .\nmadhushree , a r rahman , kk , shaan , kunal , sreenivas , asha bhosle , karthik , richa sharma , mahalaxmi , vaishali , shoma , pravin mani , murtuza , qadir , sonu nigam , adnan sami sadhana sargam -

starrer\nthe album opens with the title song saathiya , a melodious number with the rich flute solos and guitar accompaniment in the backdrop . lyrics by gulzar are good and sonu nigam rendition is appreciable . the album then gets into a festive mood with chalka chalka re sung by richa sharma , mahalaxmi , vaishali , and shoma . the song is a wedding number with a distinct south indian flavor . on the whole saathiya has one of the most commendable compositions by rahman . gulzar s meaningful words enrich the album . - - apunkachoice . com\nrevisiting jhoom barabar jhoom one can see how if the film ' s screenplay ( which was written by ali himself and is also the only film he has written himself ) had been treated slightly differently , it could have been a richer cinematic experience . in spite of having fallen short of its potential , jhoom barabar jhoom is one of the best examples of metacinema when it comes popular hindi films and worth a re - look .\nat the beginning of the film , when vivek oberoi is seen driving his bike and grooving to the music on his headphones , he is simply acting as he performed the scene without any music whatsoever . see more \u00bb\ni worked as his assistant for four years . maybe he felt i could do this . i was also the associate director on the original . i had worked with the script for five years before it was made into a film .\nprobably . it is a challenge to make a film made by mani sir again . i learnt filmmaking from him . once i finished shooting , i started thinking about how mani sir would have done each shot , how he would react , etc .\nthis was also the film where ali ' s knack for picking up a great tune came to the fore and moreover , his imaginative use of the legendary lyricist gulzar who penned instant classics such as ' kajra re ' and ' chup chup ke ' .\nwell , since ranbir and alia are already doing a film together ( ayan mukherji ' s superhero flick ) , we won ' t mind seeing them one more time sharing screen space since we know that they are one of the most talented actors among the younger lot .\nsaathiya , indian director shaad ali ' s acclaimed first film , takes a new angle on the time - tested bollywood love story . it is the story of star - crossed young lovers who elope , then continue living apart with their parents , without telling anyone about their marriage . the secret marriage implodes when the bride ' s parents discover the truth , and the young couple is forced to fend for itself , making do with more love than money . using non - linear plot movement , the film stylishly explores the warmth and passion of a young marriage , and its subsequent unraveling under financial and familial strains . shaad , who apprenticed under directors like his father muzaffar ali , mani ratnam and ketan mehta , makes innovative use of bombay ' s commuter trains , a familiar setting for untold numbers of real world romances . the story starts with a waiting lover at churchgate station , and places the young romance and marriage against the backdrop of ever - present commuter trains .\ndebuting with saathiya that was the hindi version of ratnam ' s alai payuthey ( 2000 ) , ali has almost come a full circle where his next release , ok jaanu , is also based on ratnam ' s ok kanmani ( 2015 ) . amongst the younger crop of filmmakers in hindi cinema today , ali is blessed with one of the best ears for music and can effortlessly elevate screenwriting ( that could otherwise have fallen woefully short ) to become a sociocultural statement . these were best seen in jhoom barabar jhoom , a film where he had taken a departure from the things that he had become used to , and also relied upon \u2014 namely , a ready - made project in the form of a remake . perhaps the film ' s lackluster run at the box - office in spite of decent enough star power and a soundtrack that was one of the best in recent times , somewhere dented his chances of going beyond remaking his mentor ' s films in a different language .\nbollywood meets south india in \u201csaathiya , \u201d a hindi remake of a tamil b . o . hit in which the more relaxed southern style of filmmaking has a loosening effect on its northern cousin\u2019s formulae . paired with boyish -

well that ' s just the beginning of their story . written by official source\nstory is told largely in flashbacks \u2014 announced by the frozen widescreen image turning to ochre and receding within the frame \u2014 as aditya sehgal ( oberoi ) waits one evening at a mumbai station for the love of his life , suhani sharma ( mukherji ) . first flashback shows their meeting at a wedding where , in a zippy musical number , suhani is one of the dancers . he\u2019s a law student and she\u2019s studying pediatrics , and when they later pass each other on different trains \u2014 one of several sequences fluidly shot and edited that sum up the film\u2019s special flavor \u2014 a spark flies .\neven beyond his straight ratnam remakes ali ' s kill dil where two orphans ( ali zafar , ranveer singh ) raised by a local gangster ( govinda ) to be assassins appears to be inspired by the mood of vishnuvardhan ' s tamil gangster film pattiyal ( 2006 ) where kosi ( arya ) and selva ( bharath ) , are contract killers working for a middleman sami ( cochin haneefa ) , who is almost like a father figure to them . even the character of the ' girl ' in both films \u2014 parineeti chopra in kill dil and padmapriya janakiraman in pattiyal \u2014 has a similar track where things go south once she enters .\nmaking the most of bunty aur babli ' s success , ali ' s next jhoom barabar jhoom was an ambitious project and one where the stakes were the highest up until then in his career . here was a film that otherwise might have been just another in the roster for the producer ' s , yash raj films , but the focus become sharper as the music had caught the fancy of the people and the success of bluffmaster ( 2005 ) , dhoom : 2 ( 2006 ) , guru ( 2007 ) and also the critical appreciation in kabhi alvia na kehna ( 2006 ) had made abhishek bachchan in a star in his own right .\na . r . rahman borrowed most of the tracks from this movie from\nalaiputhiye\n, but the tracks are extremely good . i am listening to these tracks more than 10 years after it was first released - that ' s how good the album is . at times , it seems like rahman tries to bring in michael jackson - ish beats into his music ( like in\nhumdum suniyo re\n, but it always works . my favourites : chupke se - a song about longing . o humdum suniyo re - the opening track to the movie . aye udi udi udi - a song about the high point of newly - married viveik oberoi and rani mukerji ' s troubled marriage . mera yaar mila de - accompanies the movie when viveik goes in search of rani , who is a volunteer doctor in rural india . saathiya - a beautifully composed and choreographed sequence . songs like these deserve to be played again and again on your music player .\nit\u2019s when they decide to move in together that the film , ever so slightly , raises the emotional stakes . we already know that tara , an architect , wants to move to paris , while game creator adi is eyeing fame and fortune in the us . they\u2019re on borrowed time\u2014something that ali and dialogue writer gulzar underline through the example of the elderly couple subletting a room to adi . charu ( leela samson ) has alzheimer\u2019s ; she\u2019s hesitant but still mentally present , except for worrying episodes in which she wanders off alone . her husband , gopi ( naseeruddin shah ) , knows she\u2019ll be lost to him soon , but puts on a brave face . it\u2019s a reasonable , if somewhat pat , parallel : an imposed expiry date for one relationship , a self - imposed one for the other .\nthe main criteria is obviously the languages you are using , as you will need an editor that supports these languages .\nregardless of whether or not you are going to be building a brand -

( hindi dialogue )\nremakes are nothing new to the voracious hindi industry , but this one sticks pretty close to the 2000 original , \u201calai payuthey\u201d ( waves ) , written and helmed by mani ratnam , the tamil industry\u2019s internationally best - known filmmaker . lyricist gulzar is responsible for the hindi dialogue , many of the original\u2019s songs by noted composer a . r . rahman are re - used , pic\u2019s plot still revolves round a train station , and even two star names from the original pop up for no discernible reason in the final act . remake is confidently helmed by shaad ali , a onetime assistant to ratnam .\nhowever , suhani ain\u2019t no pushover and , though she obviously likes aditya a lot , she turns down his marriage proposal , citing her upcoming finals . there\u2019s also a class difference between their families , pointed up when the parents meet and suhani\u2019s poorer father ( sharat saxena ) is miffed at the perceived condescension of aditya\u2019s upper - middle class dad ( satish shah ) .\nbut when suhani heads south to tamil nadu to work for a brief spell as an intern , aditya pursues her , and they agree to marry in secret and live apart in mumbai until suhani\u2019s elder sister , dina ( sandhya mridul ) , is hitched . that plan is torpedoed when aditya\u2019s family tries to pair suhani off with aditya\u2019s younger brother , and suhani blurts out the truth .\nthe light , flowing feel of the first half \u2014 enhanced by d . p . anil mehta\u2019s gliding camerawork and sharp colors \u2014 continues after intermission as the plot proper gets going . the two are now living together in a cheap rooftop apartment and an entertaining number musically sketches the ups - and - downs of early married life . however , personal dramas and misunderstandings intrude , bringing the story up to the present and explaining why suhani is late for her meeting with aditya at the railway station .\nthough the story lacks the simple charm of the tamil original , and bollywood conventions invade the pic at , among other places , a beach number ( showcasing singer shamita shetty ) , there\u2019s still a freshness to the movie , thanks to some witty dialogue by gulzar and \u2014 especially \u2014 the perfs of the two leads . oberoi makes a likable , unnarcissistic aditya and pairs well with the vivacious , husky - voiced mukherji , 24 , who\u2019s at the top of her game as the all - or - nothing suhani . among a solid cast of supports , tv thesp mridul stands out as suhani\u2019s sensible older sister .\nmusical sequences , which are more rhythmic than melodically memorable , run the gamut from fully fledged fantasy numbers to montages with songs on the soundtrack , though there are no mass - choreographed showstoppers . tech credits are very good throughout .\nproduction : a yash raj films presentation of a kaleidoscope entertainment production . produced by bobby bedi . directed by shaad ali . screenplay , mani ratnam , gulzar , based on ratnam ' s tamil screenplay\nalai payuthey\n( waves ) .\ncrew : camera ( color , widescreen ) , anil mehta ; editor , sreekar prasad ; music , a . r . rahman ; lyrics , gulzar ; art directors , chetna prabhu , priya raghunathan ; costume designers , manish malhotra , ferzeen khambatta ; sound ( dolby digital / dts digital ) , robert taylor ; choreographers , saroj khan , geeta , piyush ; assistant directors , kiran rao , richa gupta , hasan kutty . reviewed at warner village west end 8 , london , dec . 23 , 2002 . running time : 137 min .

however , at the same time it is representative of a considerably different reflexive approach nonetheless . in what follows , i will map the significant ways in which crimson gold tries to bring the realist conventions and norms that are characteristic of social films to the surface in order to show their limitations in a playful way . of course , as we shall see , bringing the conventions to the surface means that the film itself is very much situated within the tradition ; but at the same time , its playfulness and reflexive approach prevents it from being simply reducible to it .\ncrimson gold is more cyclical , socially conscious cinema from the world of panahi and kiarostami . this parable begins at the end when a lonely pizza deliveryman , hussein ( hussein emadeddin ) , shoots himself in the head after a botched jewel heist . the narrative quickly rewinds and panahi observes the simple but devastating events that would slowly squash the man\u2019s human spirit . the genius of kiarostami\u2019s deceptively simple screenplay is how it quietly evokes america\u2019s post - 9 / 11 immigration policy in the repeated embarrassments of the film\u2019s lead . but because crimson gold is also about the oppression of one iranian man by his own people , it\u2019s impossible to write off the film as some knee - jerk anti - american provocation .\nafar panahi ' s new film , crimson gold , climaxes in a jewel heist gone horribly wrong . clamouring at a shop window , the witnesses watch as the jeweller is shot down in cold blood . a moment later , the robber ( and ostensibly the hero of the picture ) turns the gun on himself . the crowd screams and scatters . from up the street comes the wail of sirens .\nif the authorities disliked panahi ' s previous picture ( the circle ) , they positively detest crimson gold . the film is banned in iran and its maker is breaking the law every time he screens it elsewhere . on returning home from the moscow film festival , he was seized at the airport and interrogated for several hours . there was a moment when he wondered if he would ever be allowed to leave .\nof course , it may be argued that , despite its reluctance to appropriate its main character , crimson gold effectively reduces hossein to a mere victim ( a \u2018victim of society / injustice / class differences\u2019 ) . in fact , crimson gold exploits hossein in order to provide the conditions for portraying the dark sides of community : while delivering pizzas , hossein encounters all sorts of people , all of which are the perpetrators or victim of some kind of a social injustice . hossein himself is a victim indeed , and his victimhood is even exacerbated since his job exposes him to the difficult task of witnessing other forms of social injustice that he himself may not be a part of . so in this sense the narrative does provide some motivations for hossein\u2019s suicidal rebellion : after all , he is rebelling against the established order that is relegating him and many others to a state of victimhood .\nin crimson gold , the overall structure of the plot is familiar : the film starts with a climactic situation in which a man , whom we later understand is called hossein , is robbing a jewellery store ; and when his plan goes wrong he commits murder and then kills himself . the plot then flashes back in time , focusing on the characters involved in this initial climactic situation . in this respect , the whole plot could be initially understood as a struggle to describe what has happened prior to the final incident and what has caused the conflict . also , all of the scenes are structured in a classical manner and the montage is quite clearly following the norms of continuity editing . so , unlike close - up , the film is not preoccupied with making visible the different techniques and devices it exploits ; on the contrary , like the classical mode , the style is not obtrusive , not attracting attention to itself while only serving the plot . like many other social films , crimson gold is a realist feature film narrating the life story of an individual who lives on the margins of society . so crimson gold is aimed at achieving the benevolent objectives associated with social films , and in doing so it does intend to convey some messages to its addressees . these characteristics unanimously eventuate in a pleasurable result : the story is more or less familiar , and the way that the story unfolds seems conventional and thus easily graspable . but is crimson gold really a mere reproduction of the dominant cinematic forms that we , as spectators , are familiar with ? the experience of watching this film and a close analysis of it suggest that the film is building on the familiar forms ; more importantly , however , these familiar conventions and expectations are playfully literalized and relocated at the surface of the text .\nevery scene in crimson gold evokes oppression within iran and , much more cunningly , the nasty \u201cyou are either with us or against us\u201d mentality the united states adopted after 9 / 11 . just as hussein\u2019s constant waiting is meant to humorously parallel panahi\u2019s own detainment at jfk , a conversation at the film\u2019s crucial jewelry store more largely references our country\u2019s isolationist mentality ( the store advises hussein to buy iranian gold , not the imported italian kind ) . panahi and kiarostami understand the effects of 9 / 11 on our country\u2019s policies , but when does safeguarding one\u2019s country come at the expense of another\u2019s humiliation ? like one character in the film says : \u201cshow some mercy , please . \u201d\nin close - up , hossain sabzian ( playing himself ) is a poor jobless man who very much loves cinema to the extent that he gets in trouble with the law for impersonating director mohsen makhmalbaf ; while in crimson gold , hussein ( hossain emadeddin ) is a poor pizza delivery worker and a former fighter in the iran - iraq war who is still affected by the injuries of war . both of these characters are among the marginal individuals of iranian society , not only due to their poor conditions of living , but also due to their inability in narrating their own life story and thus in getting their invisible marginal status recognized socially . in this sense , both close - up and crimson gold can be considered as social films that are exclusively dedicated to bearing witness to the unheard life stories of those who suffer , but those whose sufferings are exacerbated due to their limited capacity to make their cry heard .\nin a similar manner , crimson gold puts at its centre a marginal character ; but , unlike the conventional instances , it does not take him for granted and it denies the spectator such transparency . by doing so , crimson gold highlights a very important consideration that is significantly neglected by the conventional features of the social films tradition : the obsessive defamiliarization in the early stages of crimson gold is indeed in accordance with the ethico - political aims of social films ; since defamiliarization inevitably necessitates the existence of such a narrative . that is , narrating and representing someone who is not always already familiar \u2013 someone whose alterity is concealed and thus ungraspable for the moment \u2013 proves its own necessity and ethico - political significance . furthermore , this necessity gains even more significance if we consider it through its intersection with the lack of narrative privilege : hossein is not only unfamiliar but he is also unable to get his unfamiliarity recognized due to his lack of access to the necessary means of self - narration . he is simply a working class man , with no academic or technical skill . he is always numbed by the pills he takes because of the war injuries and accordingly he is even unable to do his simple pizza delivery work without any error . so obviously hossein is not able to use some sort of medium in order to narrate himself and thus the \u2018social film\u2019 undertakes this narration on behalf of him .\nthe cw seems pretty pleased with their efforts , of course . \u201ci hope the fans who treasure the character are as excited as we are by what costume designer colleen atwood has achieved with this latest version of the flash\u2019s iconic suit , \u201d said executive producer david nutter said in their press release . it definitely looks a lot less like the crimson chin from the front like this , so good job there , cw . or bad job , depending on how much you love the crimson chin .\nin revealing this denouement i ' m merely taking my lead from the film itself . the heist scene ( the crowd , the shots , the sirens ) actually plays out during the opening three minutes . everything else is flashback , rewinding to show the drip - drip of humiliations that turn a listless pizza delivery man into a killer with nothing to lose . this makes crimson gold a most unusual breed of crime thriller : back - to - front and curiously weighted .\ntake any human being and you find that his situation is a direct result of his family , his education , his economic position ,\nexplains panahi , an iranian .\nso this thriller is not about the crime itself . it ' s about the background story .\nor to put it another way : the villain of crimson gold is not so much the gunman as the big , cold , uncaring city he lives in . and the fact that this city also happens to be tehran has inevitably caused problems .\nafter the early scenes , the narrative undertakes a simultaneous familiarization and defamiliarization of hossein\u2019s character . with its focus on hossein in his everyday life and interactions before his attempt to rob a jewellery store , crimson gold follows the aforementioned conventional order \u2013 depicting the events that lead to the final climatic situation ; but it is my contention that , once again , such following is accompanied by a great deal of playfulness . for instance , in many cases there is no strictly meaningful link between the scenes and each scene does not inevitably necessitate the one that follows . this unconventional approach disrupts the totality of the narrative in a significant way : each scene more or less plays a part in the whole film , but at the same time each part is not justified by \u2013 and thus is not reducible to \u2013 the totality of the narrative . the spectator , educated by the instrumentality of the realist social films , desires the complete picture in the least possible time with the most possible details ; but crimson gold systematically disrupts such desires .\njafar panahi ' s ' ' crimson gold , ' ' which will be shown at the 41st new york film festival tonight and tomorrow , begins with the armed robbery of a tehran jewelry store , an event captured in one motionless shot as if by a security camera , albeit one that has been set up for artistic effect rather than efficient surveillance . gunshots are exceedingly rare in iranian movies , and the two that are fired in the opening moments reverberate with particular force , even though the crime they aggravate looks banal and amateurish .\nlike many iranian directors , he began making films about children . the popularity of children as subjects stems in part from the existence of state funding for such films . they also serve to steer filmmakers clear of censorship problems that complicate the filming of any domestic or intimate scenes involving adult women . however , after his first two feature films , panahi decided to tackle these complications head on by making the circle , a devastating look at the strictures against women in contemporary iran . this new tone of social critique continued in the unsettling crimson gold .\nat first , i though the main character was going to be a dwarf . this was an exciting concept for me , as i had never read a book with dwarf as the main focus of a story . then he gets killed in the first chapter . tazi is introduced and i really liked her . then she becomes a slave . another dwarf is soon introduced and they sort of team up . this was not what i had expected , but i like the unexpected . the crimson gold is an interesting tale about a young female fighter that gets tangled up in another\nin this sense , crimson gold provides the condition for what we might call \u2018bestowing recognition to the unknowable other\u2019 ; a sort of recognition in which the self must abandon his / her familiar \u2013 but nevertheless \u2018unethical\u2019 \u2013 desires for knowing and grasping the other in a total manner . ( 60 ) crimson gold is denying the spectator his / her conventional expectations for identification with the character , foregrounding a different sense of identification through which he very much remains at a decisive distance : hossein\u2019s liveable life and grievable death is acknowledged through providing him with some kind of a story ; but such a story does not deprive him of his irreplaceable alterity . hossein\u2019s story is very much his , and the film is clearly reluctant in clarifying many ambiguous aspects of his life . it is in this sense that the film works as the \u2018listening eye\u2019 : hossein , as the embodiment of alterity , significantly remains exterior to the grasp of the narrative \u2013 as well as the grasp of the spectator \u2013 since the camera is obsessed with the surfaces and thus resists any determinate psychological \u2013 or even crude sociological \u2013 explanations . his story unfolds in front of our eyes , but his story is always already his and it more or less remains that way .\nat first , i though the main character was going to be a dwarf . this was an exciting concept for me , as i had never read a book with dwarf as the main focus of a story . then he gets killed in the first chapter . tazi is introduced and i really liked her . then she becomes a slave . another dwarf is soon introduced and they sort of team up . this was not what i had expected , but i like the unexpected . the crimson gold is an interesting tale about a young female fighter that gets tangled up in another person ' s war . she has no choice but to be the pawn of the evil wizard . she must not only use her wits to escape the situation , but to also save her new friend . this story moves along at a good pace , but did not have enough action to suit me . when the story focused on ythazz , i always felt a little lost and looked forward to it returning to tazi . still , it is a good story that does not require you reading the first two books in the series . overall , the the crimson gold by voronica whitney - robinson is a nice addition to the forgotten realms world of books . i rated this book a 7 out of 10 .\nafter he leaves the high - rise apartment , hussein returns to the store . we already know much of what will happen now , because\ncrimson gold\nopens with a version of the same scene it closed with . but i will not discuss the opening ( and closing ) because they proceed with a kind of implacable logic . what seems impulsive and reckless at the beginning of the film takes on a certain logic after we have spent some time in hussein ' s company . in his case , still waters run deep and cold . he has been still and implacable for the entire film , but now we understand he was not frozen , but waiting .\ni would ' ve given it 2 stars if it wasn ' t d & d . as a d & d book , it ' s bad . this isn ' t the first book the author has written for d & d so it ' s not just ignorance . and the editor must be blind as well . the crimson gold ? it ' s a sad excuse for a title . the metal in question can be replaced with whatever you wish and it wouldn ' t change a thing , given how minor and unimportant it was to the plot . thazienne the protagonist ? this series is about rogues . but our heroine is a rogue , warrior , military\n\u201cif you want to arrest a thief , you\u2019ll have to arrest the world , \u201d says an armchair philosopher in the film as hussein\u2019s friend ali ( kamyar sheissi ) goes through the contents of a woman\u2019s purse he\u2019s just stolen . tipsy from this conversation about guesswork , entitlement , and cause and effect , ali envisions a world where he can spare himself considerable embarrassment by knowing the contents of a woman\u2019s purse before pinching it . crimson gold is a film largely concerned with the surface of things , and the message of this mystical scene is abundantly clear : just as ali cannot separate the purse from the woman , the united states cannot separate terrorism from the middle eastern man .\nit may be said that crimson gold is withholding explanatory devices in order to elicit responses from the spectator such that he / she might be provoked to actively provide answers for him / herself ( a sort of democratization of spectatorship ) . but this is not the case with crimson gold . on the contrary , the answers are there , and the blanks and gaps can be filled quite easily , in case we are satisfied with general explanations that effectively translate hossein\u2019s particularity and concreteness into abstract terms . however , the interesting point is that such readymade filling , despite its accessibility , is not desirable or even satisfying here . there is something in play that goes beyond the mere act of filling the blanks : what we encounter here is a sort of questioning the very act of \u2018filling\u2019 since filling is decentred as if some kind of a story is not necessarily dependent upon such an act of filling the blanks . so , in a sense , the film is providing the answers like many other social films that are aimed at maximizing communicativeness ; but the point is that , unlike these conventional features , crimson gold is delegitimizing the centrality of answers so that the film gains its affects at a quite different level . the point is not only that such answers seem quite unsatisfying , but also that the act of providing answers \u2013 filling the blanks , as if there is a puzzle to be solved \u2013 loses its edge throughout the film such that the affections of the film are not theoretically grasped even if we strive to provide \u2018better\u2019 answers . despite the fact that , at the surface , the story unfolds in a smoothly linear order , the film effectively denies us the pleasures of such linearity since there is no easy passage from a to b through which we gain a better grasp of hossein , and by which we may imagine a future c and d that could bring us to a much more comprehensive knowledge of him and his life story . the linearity is preserved at the surface , but it is nevertheless trapped in a constant process of being interrupted and negated .\ncrimson gold and close - up are not aimed at treating their central characters in typical ways and , more interestingly , they are not exploiting the familiar narrative devices in order to get them recognized through a familiar channel . crimson gold and close - up are aimed at narrating the invisible while resisting the current ( altericidal ) frameworks of visibility . recognizing the other through the current frameworks that we are used to is indeed reinforcing the presupposed universality of these established frameworks while concealing their undeniably violent particularity and exclusions . so , there would be no ethics , since ethics is understood here as a form of self - interrogation , as a form of stepping back by which the other may find an alternative space for being recognized in his / her alterity and not in his / her reducibility to sameness . what is at stake is putting into question our frameworks for thinking about the human through our encounter with the alterity of the other . but if the other is supposed to fit into these frameworks \u2013 if he / she is brought into a light to the extent that there would be no room left for acknowledging the ambiguity of that which is unrepresentable and that which always remains ambiguously unrepresentable despite our best efforts through our \u2018best\u2019 forms \u2013 then the other is always already in our grasp \u2013always already phrased\u2013 and thus there is no possibility for any meaningful critique \u2013 and thus no meaningful alternative future \u2013 anymore .\nthe success of\ncrimson gold\ndepends to an intriguing degree on the performance of its leading actor , a large , phlegmatic man who embodies the rule that an object at rest will stay at rest until some other force sets it into motion . the character , named hussein and played by hussein emadeddin , is a pizza deliveryman in tehran , iran , heavy - set , tall , undemonstrative . he sits where he sits as if planted there , and when he rides his scooter around the city streets , he doesn ' t lean and dart like most scooter drivers , but seems at one with his machine in implacable motion . when he smokes , he is like an automaton programmed to move the cigarette toward and away from his lips .\ncrimson gold , one of the best films of the year , is absolutely stunning from start to finish . it ' s gritty and captures the essence of the social struggles in iran while consistently delivering messages on the struggles we all face in life regarding love and relationships . it ' s a humanistic film that is extremely subtle , which turned off several viewers ( as does taxi driver , one of my all - time favorites ) . jafar panahi ' s slow pacing doesn ' t allow the film to go into incoherent territory , but again , some viewers may be turned off by this . the pacing is really what allows the messages to set in and provoke the viewers thoughts . it ' s worth every second of your time , don ' t miss this gem . 9 / 10\nmr . kiarostami , the lion of contemporary iranian art cinema , and mr . panahi , who has established himself with ' ' the white balloon ' ' and ' ' the circle ' ' as one of iran ' s leading urban filmmakers , set out to explain what drove the robber , a pizza deliveryman and a veteran of the iran - iraq war , to his desperate , self - destructive act of violence . the answer is not altogether surprising , and at times ' ' crimson gold ' ' exhibits a finger - pointing didacticism as it exposes the cruelties and inequities of a society sharply polarized by class and corrupted by selfishness , snobbery and cynicism . but the occasional obviousness of the film ' s themes is more than balanced by the subtlety of its methods , and by the stolid , irreducible individuality of its protagonist , hussein .\npanahi is keen to stress that he ' s not a political person , merely a man interested in social issues . he admits , however , that the two have a tendency to blur . where the circle was interpreted as a passionate condemnation of women ' s status in iran , crimson gold spotlights what appears to be a crisis of masculinity in the country ' s underclass . full of rage and self - loathing , hossain emadeddin ' s overweight pizza man can be read as the symbol of a wider malaise . his rides across tehran carry him from penthouse to pavement , from the miserable teenage soldiers staking out a decadent party to the lonesome playboy adrift in his parents ' apartment . during his time off , he tries to buy an expensive pair of earrings for his fiancee . appraising his shabby suit , the jeweller suggests he pick up something cheaper from the local bazaar .\nat least one might assume that the shoot went smoothly . not so , however . on the contrary , the making of crimson gold sounds like a nightmare . watching the film , i was struck by emadeddin ' s charged , minimalist performance in the leading role , blithely filing him as some veteran mainstay of iranian movies . instead , it turns out that emadeddin is a real - life pizza - delivery man , and a paranoid schizophrenic to boot .\nwe knew he was a schizophrenic in advance , so we knew he would be difficult to work with ,\npanahi says .\nbut i had no idea that it was going to be that difficult . on several occasions i was tempted to stop shooting and simply abandon the entire project .\nmore than once he found himself half - wishing that emadeddin would fall off his moped and solve everyone ' s problems .\nin the final scene , hossein finds a very rare occasion for exploring the lifestyle of a very rich man when he is unusually invited by that man to join him in eating pizza : hossein explores the house ; he drinks from the expensive bottles of wine ; he dives in the private swimming pool and so on . but he is still so expressionless and we are not allowed to clearly know what he is thinking . he rebels after this scene and obviously his rebellion is motivated by this rare encounter with the luxurious living conditions of the rich people of his community . but his recurrent and memorable expressionless face prevents us from reducing him to any a priori and readymade framework . in this sense , crimson gold simultaneously exploits and moves beyond the conventional narratives , since it foregrounds certain expectations , but it does not provide answers in a determinate manner . not only is hossein not comprehensively familiarized , but his familiarization is endlessly deferred .\nwhen lucille finally sees a ghost , it\u2019s like a piece of the past she can\u2019t simply dismiss ( as she does her dead mother ) . it\u2019s the ultimate ironic punishment , and a brilliant comeuppance . but it\u2019s also a powerful moment , because it\u2019s a sudden change in the way things have worked in the movie up to now . crimson peak doesn\u2019t have a big secret or a clever reveal at its heart\u2014instead , it has something darker and maybe even more fascinating .\nthe big innovation in crimson peak , other than its insane visuals , is how it uses the supernatural . the movie is full of ghosts , but they\u2019re entirely benevolent\u2014or at least , they\u2019re entirely on edith\u2019s side . edith , from childhood , has had the power to see ghosts , including her own dead mother , and when she gets to allerdale hall , she\u2019s able to see all of the ghosts in the house , including thomas and lucille\u2019s mother , but also all of their victims .\nthe basic plot of crimson peak is , indeed , very simple . edith cushing ( mia wasikowska ) marries thomas sharpe ( tom hiddleston ) and goes to live in his decaying family mansion in bleakest blighty , a place where even the ground bleeds . but soon edith realizes she\u2019s made a mistake . thomas and his sister lucille ( jessica chastain ) have murdered all of thomas\u2019 previous wives , and she\u2019s next . the plot is basically edith surviving , along with thomas having a slight change of heart .\non the contrary , my argument is that \u2018alternative and progressive social films\u2019 are those which , unlike the conventional realist features , considerably take into account the difficulties and risks in establishing a cinema based on alterity . progressive social films , including close - up and crimson gold , are not solely concerned with what the characters and events are supposed to represent ( the so - called content ) ; but , more importantly , are focused on \u2018how the image is framed and shot , and which generic conventions it engages , distorts or challenges\u2019 . in this respect , by focusing on the \u2018mediations which intervene between representation and reality\u2019 ( 62 ) , these films make explicit \u2018how the history of meaning - making in images carries internalized norms and exclusions that can be challenged by dissident representations\u2019 . ( 63 ) progressive social films , inspired by the ethics of alterity , are not simply in favour of \u2018affirmative\u2019 struggles ; but , more importantly , they critically interrogate their own tradition through denaturalizing and thus revealing its altericidal visions .\nhe has a friend named ali ( kamyar sheissi ) . we meet ali for the first time in a tea house , where he produces a purse he has just found . its contents are disappointing - - a broken gold ring . another man overhears their conversation , assumes they stole the purse and delivers a little lecture on the morality of theft . he believes the rewards should suit the crime ; you should not put your targets through a great deal of suffering just to relieve them of pocket change .\nwhen he leaves the apartment , he goes directly to a jewelry store that he and ali had visited twice before . the first time , they wanted to get a price on the gold ring , and were treated rudely and with suspicion by the store owner and guard . returning , wearing ties and with ali ' s sister along , they said they were shopping for a wedding ring - - but were treated rudely again ; it is a high - end store and they look like low - end people .\nin this linear narrative , seen as the film\u2019s limitation by a critic , next enters omid , a seller of illegal dvds . omid was in the backseat when the first scene unfolded . he recognises panahi and his memory proves to be sharper than the filmmaker\u2019s . omid is no ordinary dvd seller . not only does he remember the dvds he gave panahi\u2019s son , a film buff , but also caught panahi\u2019s apparently clandestine act of filming taxi in public . this he does by relating a line spoken by a pickpocket from the caf\u00e9 scene in panahi\u2019s crimson gold . omid does not sound like a man who simply sells dvds for a living . it is obvious he has an insatiable passion for cinema . and like all good film buffs in the world , his cinematic memory is quick to catch a scene with the slightest reference from an earlier film . omid is a man who takes real risks to keep the culture of alternative cinema afloat in tehran . no wonder a critic likens him to \u201ca genuine hero of samizdat distribution\u201d .\nall of which spells good news for panahi . but the fact remains that the director is a pariah in his homeland . he is being celebrated at festivals around the globe - crimson gold won the un certain regard award at cannes earlier this year - and getting arrested when he flies back to tehran . he is making iranian films about iranian life that iranians themselves are forbidden to see . panahi admits that this is frustrating .\nbefore anything else i want my film to show in iran . but the good thing is that if the film is successful outside iran , it will eventually be saved . it gets smuggled in on video or satellite tv and once that happens my compatriots can see it . and anyway , history has shown that , even if a film has been stopped or forbidden or buried , it never really dies .\nwith that , he sits back , lights a cigarette and gives a smile that would shame the sphinx .\nthe system can ' t last for ever ,\nhe says .\ni can wait .\nin this respect , i will map the embodiment of the listening eye in and against the conventional tradition of social films through my case - studies , asking how these distinctive instances foreground a non - instrumental approach to cinema in which the film\u2019s encounter with the other is not reducible to an altericidal relation comprised of a manipulating subject and its manipulated object ; but in which the underrepresented other is represented in a way that the dynamics of subordination - dominance is disturbed and the realist tradition of social films is problematized . in particular , i will show how close - up foregrounds a unique cinematic hospitality towards the other by contesting the narrative and stylistic features of realist fiction films and by introducing a different conception \u2013 i will argue , a more sophisticated conception \u2013 of realism based on a reflexive approach to pro - filmic reality . furthermore , i will map how crimson gold plays with realism by bringing its conventions and characteristics to the surface in a reflexive manner and thus providing the conditions for excesses to the extent that effectively overflow the realist economy of social films . ( 47 )\nfinally , in order to articulate my argument in a concrete manner , i will undertake close analysis of close - up ( 6 ) and crimson gold ( 7 ) , two of the major self - reflexive social films that rework the realist aesthetic that is characteristic of the tradition in order to take critical positions against the oppressive aspects of this cinema , while arguing that these cinematic narratives resonate with the idea of the \u2018listening eye\u2019 . according to emmanuel levinas , the \u2018listening eye\u2019 is \u2018concerned about and listens to the other\u2019s story which always has to remain , to some extent , theirs\u2019 ( 8 ) ; a sort of bestowing recognition on the unknowable other that disrupts the reduction of him / her to something simply representable and communicable that is always already subordinated to the representational powers of the self . the listening eye listens , since it is concerned less with \u2018seeing\u2019 than \u2018listening\u2019 ( 9 ) and since it listens to some kind of a story without rendering that story intelligible through the readymade frameworks of intelligibility . the listening eye breaks with the subject - object tradition through \u2018a suspension of judgment and morality\u2019 ( 10 ) ; but as we shall see , this break is not made possible unless the \u2018eye\u2019 accepts its embedding in this tradition and thus interrogates its habitualised altericidal visions .\nthis argument against the pathological aspects of crimson gold seems cogent ; however , it effectively neglects the overall approach of the narrative to hossein\u2019s character . as mentioned before , the film is focused on hossein in his very ordinary moments of life , but these moments do not reveal much about him . many of the scenes show hossein on his motorcycle going from one place to another . due to their recurrences , these extensive shots and scenes become a major stylistic aspect of the film and eventually provide the conditions for the possibility of a unique cinematic excess ( 58 ) : not only do we see hossein in his most ordinary moments , but we also see him while he is simply there , without any justification or any significant meaning and narrative function . he is always ambiguous and his reactions are far beyond clear . he often rejects his fianc\u00e9 , but at the same time he is worried about her well - being . he is humiliated by those who treat him as a peasant , but his reactions are not determinate . he is often numbed and silent ( 59 ) , and there is no significant physical or facial expression through which his interior feelings and thoughts might be conveyed . but nevertheless he is onscreen , conducting a life that may be strangely opaque but is a life on its own terms nonetheless .\nas tasha robinson wrote in io9 last week , the theme of crimson peak , as with other guillermo del toro films , is escaping from the past . in the case of thomas and lucille , they\u2019re trapped with this terrible old house that\u2019s the literal embodiment of history and its claims on them . their schemes to keep marrying and killing young women are a desperate attempt to move forward in spite of all the dead weight they\u2019re tied to , so that thomas can build his amazing new machine . edith survives because she has a greater sensitivity to the past ( in spite of coming from america , the land of newness ) than thomas and lucille do .\nunfortunately the characters are seldom very relatable , and as a result the reading experience feels very distant and unemotional . tika , for example , is repeatedly mentioned in waman\u2019s thoughts and memories , but very little is actually revealed about her personality . despite the fact that waman sees her as one of his main motivations to return home , she remains very one - dimensional . pizarro is more developed as a character , but whether he should be sympathized with or seen as despicable is not considered in a way that invokes a deeper layer of meaning . while sometimes a lack of obvious protagonists and antagonists can make a novel thought - provoking , it makes \u201cgold eaters\u201d difficult to fully engage with .\nwright devotes a great portion of the novel to creating a colorful setting of peru during the early 1500s , but he does so at the expense of his plot . the novel tells a somewhat cliche adventure and homecoming story through the eyes of waman , a young provincial from the incan empire who runs away from home shortly after coming of age . he is soon violently captured by spaniards and is forced to become francisco pizarro\u2019s interpreter . the novel mainly follows waman\u2019s journeys with the spaniards , as they attempt to colonize the incan empire and search the land for gold . waman is exposed to a new culture and language and must choose to defend his own while trying to find his way home . the story meanwhile follows waman\u2019s family and some of the other spanish colonizers settling in the land . the plot is more or less straightforward and predictable . its concept provides many opportunities for depth and surprise , but wright\u2019s adherence to historical fact seems to handicap his fictional license .\njafar panahi ' s film about a psychotic pizza delivery man won praise worldwide - and got him arrested . he talks to xan brooks\non completing the film , panahi was obliged to have it vetted by a body with the wonderfully orwellian title of the ministry of guidance . predictably , they hated it .\nmaybe they expect me to do advertisements or pro - government films ,\nhe shrugs .\nthey think that anyone who is independent or not following their views is a spy of the west . paid by the west . spreading western propaganda .\nbut here ' s the dilemma . in a sense , panahi is paid by the west . his films are buttressed by french and italian production money . it ' s the only way he can make movies free from government interference , and it places him in a catch - 22 situation .\ni always start a film in my own country with my own money ,\nhe says .\nand halfway through i sell the production rights to foreign companies . this enables me to finish the film . it ' s the only option i have .\nthe ministry finally agreed to release it if he agreed to a number of cuts . these ranged from overhauling an entire 17 - minute scene to the removal of a derogatory reference to a brand of cigarettes . panahi refused , hence the ban .\nhalf of his problems were made by him on purpose . it was deliberate destructiveness . other times it was unconscious and came out of his own instability . hossein was very paranoid . he thought everyone was plotting against him . so he would smash up the set , get on his bike and just go home . and i would have to go to his house and reason with him . he would tell me that everyone on set was a neo - nazi . he thought that some of the crew were le pen supporters who had flown in from france on a mission to murder him .\nhow did panahi manage to coax a performance out of him ?\noh i don ' t know . i would give him the approximation of what i wanted . then he would do half of what i wanted and the rest what he wanted . he didn ' t always listen .\none might say that panahi ' s love of the movies was born out of crime , or at least of bending the rules to his advantage . he studied at the tehran college of cinema and tv in the aftermath of the 1979 revolution . wangling a post in the university ' s film archive , he gained access to the pictures that were banned under the ayatollah ' s regime . panahi would run the projector himself and sit up all night watching alfred hitchcock movies . when i ask which hitchcocks he especially liked , he struggles to provide the titles :\nthey change the names in iran . i don ' t know the exact translations .\nwhen pressed , he refers to a film called spirit , which could be spellbound , and another called the crazy man , which surely has to be psycho ( although the title rather gives the game away ) .\nwhen i made my first short i wanted nothing more than to imitate hitchcock . but the film i made was so cold and artificial that it had no soul to it at all . so i knew i had to go another way ."]}

\u201d try doing a silly voice for four hours , then take a lunch break , and then do another silly voice for four hours . it\u2019s not easy , especially because it\u2019s about the acting . so i think that mindset is a little off .\ndimaggio : [ those actors ] are a part of the community . they\u2019re a part of us . they know how great this line of work is . clancy brown , too ! you forgot to mention clancy brown . but that didn\u2019t matter .\njohn dimaggio : well , larry and i were in amsterdam for a project called jam in the dam . i was there seeing it and larry was shooting it , and there were a bunch of jam bands , like umphrey\u2019s mcgee and the yonder mountain string band . so we were there , and i was on stage , and i started doing bender , and when i whipped out the voice , larry saw four german tourists lose their mind . they were like , \u201coh my god , that\u2019s the guy who does bender !

the guy is a legend . there are people in the voiceover industry are so tight that if somebody does on - screen work , it\u2019s great ! everybody cheers them on . nobody is like , \u201cgod , i wish i had that !

tier seiyuu . now i have to play both the english and japanese version .\nshapiro : well , i really got my start doing a lot of music related documentaries and i wanted do go more towards a storytelling route . there\u2019s such a beautiful audio quality for this whole art form so it seemed like such a natural progression to go into a subgenre like voiceover . plus , knowing somebody who is as amazingly talented as john really helps motivate you to try to cover such a subject .\nwere you able to predict any of the voice actors ? one of them is for a character you haven ' t quite met yet . . . we ' ll be telling you more about him soon , so stay tuned . - iga\nshapiro : i say it was a pretty daunting task to cover what we had covered , so we wanted to keep our eyes on the prizes and focus on what we had covered before looking on to the next project .\nowner and operator of gtagaming . com , professional transgender voice actress casey mongillo oversees a fan base with hundreds of thousands of grand theft auto enthusiasts . if you play video games , you might recognize her voice best from titles like heroes of newerth , the ship , star trek online , or the red dead redemption series . her website , which offers tips for players of the controversial video game grand theft auto has been up and running since 2001 , with a facebook page holding a little over three hundred and eighty five thousand followers . mongillo has since maintained a plush relationship with rockstar games , and sings praises for the brand despite initial criticisms gta v faced upon release from several liberal media outlets . i sat down with mongillo , for a back and forth .\ndiabolique : john , you\u2019ve been a voice actor for almost 20 years now , and many of your personal friends and colleagues appear in this project . as the executive producer , was it important for you to remain objective to the subjects of the documentary , even including yourself ?\ndimaggio : it\u2019s growing every day . it\u2019s growing every single day and there\u2019s more people trying to get into it because if you can get your foot in that door , it can be lucrative . it\u2019s not multi - millions of dollars lucrative , but it\u2019s a fine living lucrative . it\u2019s a comfortable and good living , so once you get one voice acting job , you don\u2019t want to stop . so there\u2019s always people finding out about voiceover every day and how amazing it is , how much fun it can be , and how it satiates your desire for crafting a character as an actor .\nshapiro : for sure , every interview has that . every person was a master class interview , really . all we did was distill the best nuggets , but when you walk away from the film , you pretty much have an incredible view of this world and the serious depth to it .\ncomic book buffs , animation junkies and anyone who has ever loved cartoons but are unable to attend the world premiere will be offered exclusive access to view the film on vutopia from december 1 -

coding rnas play essential roles in gene regulation , however , the interplay between rna groups , their expression levels and deregulations in tumorigenesis requires additional exploration . in particular , a comprehensive analysis of microrna ( mirna ) , piwi - interacting rnas ( pirnas ) , and trna - derived small rnas in human testis and testicular germ cell tumor ( tgct ) is lacking .\ngerm theory states that many diseases are caused by the presence and actions of specific micro - organisms within the body . the theory was developed and gained gradual acceptance in europe and the united states from the middle 1800s . it eventually superseded existing miasma and contagion theories of disease and in so doing radically changed the practice of medicine . it remains a guiding theory that underlies contemporary biomedicine .\nbarring a sudden interest in bath salts being the cause , the local medical examiner discovers a non human lifeform , an \u201calien germ\u201d , as it were , left inside the corpse , possibly brought to earth by the crashed satellite . soon , the local firemen start acting really funny and unprofessional like , as in they chase people through the woods biting them , and other such behaviours unbecoming gentlemen of their stature .\ngerms ! we learnt about germs and what they do . we played \u2018the germ doctor\u2019 where 3 children put their hands in glitter , then touched other people and items in the class . the glitter represents germs and this is a good way for children to understand how we pass germs on . we also found out about shrove tuesday , why and how it is celebrated . we made our own pancakes , adding sugar and lemon .\nbrooke\u2019s brother continues his trek into the woods . a dead fireman is shown . davidson explains the autopsy results to max . human bite marks are discovered on the body . the police interview the dead man\u2019s wife kim , who is upset that they ask to take a mold of her teeth . davidson notes that there is more than one bite pattern on the body , however . the germ he has isolated appears to be of alien origin .\ncell fate decisions are fundamental for development , but we do not know how transcriptional networks reorganize during the transition from a pluripotent to a differentiated cell state . here , we asked how mouse embryonic stem cells ( escs ) leave the pluripotent state and choose between germ layer fates . by analyzing the dynamics of the transcriptional circuit that maintains pluripotency , we found that oct4 and sox2 , proteins that maintain esc identity , also orchestrate germ layer fate selection . oct4 suppresses neural ectodermal differentiation and promotes mesendodermal differentiation ; sox2 inhibits mesendodermal differentiation and promotes neural ectodermal differentiation . differentiation signals continuously and asymmetrically modulate oct4 and sox2 protein levels , altering their binding pattern in the genome , and leading to cell fate choice . the same factors that maintain pluripotency thus also integrate external signals and control lineage selection . our study provides a framework for understanding how complex transcription factor networks control cell fate decisions in progenitor cells .\nawareness of the physical existence of germs preceded the theory by more than two centuries . discoveries made by several individuals also pointed the way to germ theory . on constructing his first simple microscope in 1677 , antoni van leeuwenhoek was surprised to see tiny organisms - which he called \u2018animalcules\u2019 - in the droplets of water he was examining . he made no connection with disease , and although later scientists observed germs in the blood of people suffering from disease , they suggested that the germs were an effect of the disease , rather than the cause . this fitted with the then popular theory of spontaneous generation .\nhey gang , valkor here . so i was taking a walk down memory lane , taking a look back at all the films i reviewed and i have to say , i review a lot of horror\u2026 and yet i don ' t consider myself a horror buff . i enjoy a good scare but i ' d reach for a comedy or action flick well before i do horror . and there are tons of filmmakers who walk this road and i wonder why ? is it easier to try and scare someone rather than make them laugh ? i don ' t know . . . regardless , this next film to reach my media player ( ps3 ) is called germz . what does the z stand for ? well it should be called\nzoinks\nfrom all the scooby -

man play is a dewy - eyed homage to british wrestling\u2019s golden age , cast in the form of a slapstick - ish caper about two of its great icons : the titular big daddy ( real name shirley crabtree , played by ross gurney - randall ) and giant haystacks ( martin ruane , portrayed by david mounfield ) .\njoseph nixon co - wrote the hit edinburgh show \u2018the cruel hand of fate\u2019 with comedian glen richardson , and wrote sketches for \u2018joanna neary\u2019s magic hole\u2019 ( assembly rooms ) . he regularly contributes material to brighton\u2019s acclaimed radio city group .\nthe white house had no reaction . president richard nixon had not even read the article . attorney general john mitchell hadn\u2019t read it either . the headline , apparently , had put everyone off .\nbrian mitchell wrote the book for this brand new musical comedy with songs by jerry rulf . it opens in brighton fringe next week in a production by the foundry group , starring fellow old ornate johnsons david mounfield and glen richardson .\nwhen rothman and i first met , we discovered a shared fondness for joseph mitchell , so his response to suttree didn\u2019t surprise me . mitchell\u2019s collection , the bottom of the harbor was published in 1959 , roughly the same year mccarthy began working on suttree , which could also have been titled \u201cthe bottom of the river . \u201d\nhe will say , \u201chi , i\u2019m john mitchell , \u201d and the smile will not leave his face .\nsecretary of state william rogers was next to call nixon . their conversation was mostly about the coverage of tricia nixon\u2019s wedding . admitting that he hadn\u2019t read the story yet\u2014wedding coverage was a higher priority\u2014nixon brushed it off as a story about the former administration of president lyndon b . johnson , not his . a few minutes later , henry kissinger , nixon\u2019s national security advisor , called the white house . perhaps nixon had read the story by this time . he agreed with kissinger that printing the pentagon papers was an unconscionable thing for a newspaper to do . \u201cit\u2019s treasonable , there\u2019s no question\u2014it\u2019s actionable , i\u2019m absolutely certain that this violates all sorts of security laws , \u201d kissinger said . he told nixon not to ignore the story : \u201cit shows you are a weakling , mr . president . \u201d nixon told kissinger to call attorney general john mitchell to discuss what to do .\nthe phenomenon of british wrestling in the mid - part of the twentieth century , and in particular the relationship between these two wrestling men , is the focus of the fringe play \u2018big daddy vs giant haystacks\u2019 , which comes to edinburgh this august . the show stars ross gurney and dave mounfield ( pictured in character ) , though we spoke to the men behind the play , brian mitchell and joseph nixon , to find out what motivated them to revisit this very british \u2018sporting\u2019 phenomenon through a two - hander play .\n\u201cas funny as we\u2019ve come to expect from mitchell and nixon , but it\u2019s never just funny : they have a deep sympathy for the people they write about . * * * * * \u201d - philip reeve , the solitary bee\nin the watergate tapes , nixon bragged to his national security advisor henry kissinger several times that he brought down alger hiss by attacking him in the press . i had followed nixon carefully ever since that case . hiss was a diplomat and , once , the secretary general of the united nations charter conference , who was accused of being a communist by whittaker chambers , a renounced communist american writer and defected soviet spy . chambers had shared this information with nixon\u2019s house on un -

length work blending thoughts and observations from his four decades in new york city with his upbringing and life in fairmont , a farming town of three thousand people in north carolina\u2019s coastal plains , where members of his family had lived since before the american revolution . mitchell and his wife , therese , spent summers in fairmont throughout their marriage ; they are buried there today , next to mitchell\u2019s parents and relatives .\nwhen the late joe nixon recruited him some 25 years ago , john had no experience in journalism or in the newspaper business .\nmany of joseph mitchell\u2019s stories feature cemeteries ; one of his most famous is called \u201cmr . hunter\u2019s grave . \u201d cemeteries begat in mitchell a reflective and creative state of mind\u2014a heady potion made up of time , space , familial generations , and silence . i often feel the same way around cemeteries , which is probably what drew me to mitchell . my proximity to this graveyard , even as i focused on big ears , sparked in me a strong and unexpected sense of the slow passage of time , which was perfectly reflected in what we were shooting .\nsince big ears , joseph mitchell\u2019s 1952 new yorker magazine story \u201cup in the old hotel\u201d has loomed large for me . the story centers on mitchell\u2019s friendship with louis morino , the owner of a bustling seafood restaurant in the fulton fish market in lower manhattan . the restaurant is situated on the ground floor of a building that was formerly a hotel , but the upper floors are vacant and have been sealed for decades .\nseven short plays forming the ideal introduction and user\u00eds manual to the high octane world of salesmanship . the comedy is sharp and well - observed throughout and covers every angle from hard sell to celebrity endorsement , call centres to captive markets . written by acclaimed writers brian mitchell and joseph nixon the show is more than just a satire of selling techniques , it also grapples with narcissism , betrayal and obsession . from urban romantic entanglements to sci - fi vignettes and skewed roald dahl - esque morality tales , these stories frequently take unexpected twists and turns . the production was a hit at this year\u00eds brighton festival , winning the award for best female performer . n . b . contains some strong language .\nlast fall , we traveled to new york to work on two different projects : one on joseph mitchell and the other on an eclectic experimental music festival in knoxville , tennessee . we spent one day in a private room on west thirty - seventh street documenting rehearsals by radiohead\u2019s jonny greenwood and the fifty - piece wordless music orchestra , led by conductor ryan mcadams . at the end of the day , we walked over to the offices of mitchell\u2019s longtime employer ,\nthey\u2019re called the ornate johnsons because brian mitchell ( pictured second from left ) and joseph nixon ( not pictured ) included a character with the name ornate johnson in a play they once wrote about america in the 1920s . \u2018when we were chewing over what to call the sketch group , we chose this pretty much at random , \u2019 mitchell says . \u2018as you can see , we are not ornate . and in the united states \u201cjohnson\u201d means \u201cpenis\u201d . \u2019 in that context , it\u2019s peculiarly appropriate that four members of the current team appear to have been blessed with the male appendage . the core group , consisting of mitchell , dave mounfield , laurence relton and glen richardson , came together at the university of sussex back in 1988 . many others have worked with them since , clea smith is the latest addition . \u2018it\u2019s enormously difficult getting everyone together , as we all have our own projects , \u2019 mitchell explains . \u2018for that reason , the ojs have progressed in fits and starts . we\u2019ve taken several sabbaticals . but we\u2019ve done about 15 different shows over the years . \u2019\nperformed by radio 4 regular david mounfield ( soon to continue his long association with gbbo\u2019s mel giedroyc in \u2018count arthur strong\u2019s radio show\u2019 with new series \u2018rum bunch\u2019 ) and brian mitchell ( \u2018those magnificent men\u2019 and \u2018the ornate johnsons\u2019 ) , gilbert ( no sullivan ) is the perfect night out for \u2018savoyards\u2019 and a great introduction to one of england\u2019s wittiest writers .\nthey formed production house the foundry group in 2010 , which is bringing \u2018seven studies in salesmanship\u2019 to the area for its november tour . the foundry group\u2019s first production , mitchell and nixon ' s \u2018big daddy vs giant haystacks\u2019 , won several awards and featured in a recent bbc4 documentary and is coming back to create in february 2014 .\nthis rise and fall is poignantly captured in big daddy vs giant haystacks , a new play by comedy writing duo brian mitchell and joseph nixon . this is just the latest example in a resurgence of interest for a spectacle still mocked by many , even as it gave way to the far glitzier fare propagated by wwf ( now wwe ) . yet before itv\u2019s head of sport , greg dyke , removed uk wrestling from our tv screens in 1988 , it was essential viewing for millions of fans . it was too low - rent , claimed dyke , ignoring an audience that existed beyond the chattering classes . in this respect , dyke was making as much of a political statement as daddy and haystacks themselves .\njoseph mitchell is not the first author one thinks about in terms of music . his prose isn\u2019t overly lyrical or musical ; although he adored james joyce , particularly finnegans wake , he never attempted the sonic invention in joyce\u2019s work . mitchell was a correspondent reporting from the field , and even when he wrote fiction , it came out of his journalistic instincts . but from this platform he achieved something mysterious . at his pinnacle , in long , deep pieces such as \u201cmr . hunter\u2019s grave\u201d ( 1956 ) and \u201cthe rivermen\u201d ( 1959 ) , mitchell builds a scaffolding of details and facts only to make it dissolve , leaving us to question what just happened .\nwhen i began this introduction last week , ivan weiss and i were assembling our team in knoxville to document this year\u2019s big ears . the festival\u2014like this series , like joseph mitchell\u2019s writing\u2014is a slow boil . none of the artists in the festival\u2019s lineup are chosen because they can draw large crowds ; it\u2019s about listening and paying attention . big ears asks a lot .\nthe caldwell case was a dramatic stage - setter for the pentagon papers case , and it was a central part of nixon\u2019s war against the press . as soon as nixon was inaugurated , his justice department started subpoenaing the press for its sources and other unpublished information . this was unprecedented . the reverberations from this fight can be felt to this very day .\nby brian mitchell and joseph nixon age 7 + chris neville theatre awards -

upstairs in 2014 with big daddy vs giant haystacks , this award - winning theatre company the foundry group ( big daddy vs . giant haystacks ) and bbc4 sketch group the ornate johnsons have joined forces for this brand new staging of the hit play about british pioneering aviators capt . john alcock and lt . arthur whitten brown and their daredevil dash across the atlantic in the tiny open cockpit of a converted vickers biplane . in this glorified kite they flew from newfoundland through dense fog , sleet , snow and hail \u2013 sometimes upside down \u2013 to ireland and worldwide celebrity . how on earth can a couple of actors tell it all with just cardboard , two chairs and some left - over props ? chocks away for a night of thrills , spills and uproarious comedy . part of dave ' s leicester comedy festival\nwhat\u2019s left are the people and things that mitchell cares about , the deep histories he traces in his work , while searching for a past that never materializes .\nthe production sees mitchell continue his longstanding relationship with the nightingale theatre , where he has previously staged ornate johnsons shows and his spoof cold war thriller , spy .\nin his phone call with nixon , haig called it , \u201ca devastating . . . security breach of the greatest magnitude of anything i\u2019ve ever seen . \u201d nixon was much more worried about the leak than the story . he suggested an easy solution : he would just start firing people at the department of defense\u2014whoever could be held responsible .\nwhile i was naive about how the social world of washington worked in terms of lunches and dinner parties , i was not a naif about washington politics and the relationship between the press and the government . the new york times had been fighting nixon since the 1968 election . nixon had gone on national television to threaten the times with a libel suit for an editorial entitled \u201cmr . agnew\u2019s fitness . \u201d this marked the beginning of nixon\u2019s war against the press which continued until he resigned . nixon was the first president in memory to use or threaten to use the legal process to get his way with the press . it is one thing to engage in a verbal attack against the press , another to convert that animosity to legal action .\nthe play premiered last year as sunken , after mitchell was told the october revolutions\nsounded too much like alan ayckbourn ' s the norman conquests\n.\ni was particularly sensitive to the attacks of right - wing republicans such as nixon and senator joseph mccarthy . a close friend of my family , george faxon , who ran a camp i attended , was driven out of his teaching job because he refused to say under oath whether he had been a member of the communist party . additionally , my friend from grade school , louisa edsall kamin , and her husband , leon , were forced to flee to canada by senator joseph mccarthy for the same reason . kamin was a harvard researcher who also refused to say whether he had been a communist . he later became chair of the department of psychology at princeton university .\nfor the first time and on the 180th anniversary of his birth , three of his funniest tales and two of the best - loved \u2018bab ballads\u2019 take to the stage in this inventive new adaptation by mitchell & nixon , writers of the hit shows those magnificent men and big daddy vs . giant haystacks . staged simply and flexibly , the show is ideal for rural touring and will fit comfortably in almost any small theatre , village hall or community centre .\nbut on sunday , laird called neither mitchell nor nixon . he did , however , prepare for a tv appearance on meet the press , assuming the program would be entirely devoted to the pentagon papers . he did not receive one question on the story . it may have been because the producers of that show hadn\u2019t read the story , either . laird did , however , call mitchell the next day . that call set off a chain of events that led to one of the most important supreme court cases ever .\nwith the carnegie - medal - winning author philip reeve , brian mitchell wrote the acclaimed musical comedy \u2018the ministry of biscuits\u2019 . a classically - trained composer , his songs for the perrier - nominated show , \u2018joanna neary is not feeling herself\u2019 , have been

as the tv comedy shows \u2018slightly filthy\u2019 ( lwt ) and \u2018the ornate johnsons\u2019 edwardian spectacular\u2019 ( bbc 4 ) .\nhis campaigns against congressman jerry voorhees and congresswoman helen gahagan douglas were liberal nightmares . nixon was accused of using every dirty trick imaginable against voorhees and slandered douglas with gutter tactics . for example , nixon pioneered an early version of \u201crobo - calls\u201d during his campaigns in 1946 against voorhees . in these calls , an anonymous person would call a household , say \u201cwe just wanted to inform you that the congressman who represents your district , jerry voorhees , is a communist , \u201d and then hang up . in his campaign against douglas , nixon insinuated she was a communist by referring to her as \u201cthe pink lady\u201d and cited her supposedly communist - leaning voting record in congress .\ngeneral alexander haig , the president\u2019s deputy national security adviser , had read it , however . he reached nixon in the afternoon to discuss the progress of the vietnam war . nixon asked him , \u201cis there anything else going on in the world today ? \u201d to which haig replied , \u201cyes sir\u2014very significant\u2014this , uh , goddamn new york times expose\u0301 of the most highly classified documents of the war . \u201d\nat the end of the week john mitchell , head of the republican campaign , demanded another retraction from the times . james \u201cscotty\u201d reston , the times\u2019 executive editor , had written a column that said \u201cnixon\u2019s radio and television appearances with citizen - interviewers were \u2018nearly always in a controlled situation , with the questioners carefully chosen , the questions solicited from the whole states or regions , but carefully screened . \u2019\u201d\nthe play tells the story of fogeyish scriptwriter philip , described by mitchell as\n29 going on 40\n, and 19 - year - old kath , an art student with wisdom beyond her years .\nconcert , with greenwood\u2019s score lodged in our brains , we took the new jersey transit north jersey coast line out of penn station to visit mitchell\u2019s eldest daughter , nora mitchell sanborn , at her house near the shore . nora and her younger sister , elizabeth , who lives in georgia , maintain their father\u2019s odd collection . archivists are interested in mitchell\u2019s papers and , to an extent , his wife therese\u2019s photographs , but no one seems to know what to do with the objects . nora uses many of them to decorate her house and yard . she\u2019s curating and preserving her father\u2019s life in this manner , but she seems puzzled by the\nto many , the word politician carries a negative connotation . but , john mitchell always saw the word as webster primarily defines it : one versed or experienced in the science of government .\nand because he understood that the art of politics is just that - an art - john mitchell was an incredibly effective man who made life better for everyone fortunate enough to be involved with him whether it be at the methodist church , or the department of natural resources , or the statehouse , or nixon newspapers or wesley manor , or the ymca , or the chamber of commerce , or the hoosier state press association , or inland press association , and on and on .\nfuture . we\u2019re not sure mitchell would have said what he was doing was \u201ccollecting , \u201d in the sense one collects art or stamps or 78s of early music , with a desire to preserve and showcase them . there is a tradition of collecting as performance , as public presentation , but mitchell didn\u2019t treat his acquisitions this way . according to nora , her father hid the objects , stuffed them under beds ,\nnear the back of the space , in the media lab , is a table containing a mini - installation we\u2019re calling \u201cmitchell\u2019s objects , teeming , \u201d which has been arranged by artist and rock fish stew collaborator victoria ralston .\ni was the chief counsel for the new york times . as the newspaper\u2019s top lawyer for all its business , including journalism , i had been closely involved in our internal discussions with editors , reporters , and the publisher about whether we could or should publish the pentagon papers . i had told the times that in my view there was a high probability that secretary of defense melvin laird would call for mitchell or nixon to take action against the times .\nbecause through it all the students days at purdue , the stint serving uncle sam , the years on the farm , the sessions of the indiana general assembly , and more than two decades of newspapering john mitchell was a politician and proud of it .\nnixon himself responded to the editorial the next day on cbs\u2019 face the nation . the editorial was \u201cthe lowest kind of gutter politics that a great newspaper could engage in , \u201d he said , and \u201ca retraction will be demanded at the times legally tomorrow . \u201d yet nixon refused to go into detail about which , or any , of the allegations he thought were incorrect , stating \u201ci am not going to do anything that might injure mr . agnew\u2019s case with regard to the times . \u201d\nmitchell himself directs and does a good job in the cramped space . such a cracking show deserves a longer run ( there are only three dates ) , a much better venue and some proper financial backing . a larger band would flesh out the music and radio mics would benefit the singing .\nbut agnew rejected calls to tone down his rhetoric when he was criticized for being too incendiary . nixon told the press he would not censor agnew , and agnew himself defiantly declared , \u201ci intend to be heard above the din even if it means raising my voice .\nthe pentagon papers case cannot be understood without fully understanding its context . and its context was that nixon , a lawyer , looked to the courts for redress . he accompanied this approach with withering attacks on the press in an attempt to create a favorable climate for his administration .\nhis subjects lamented change and the speed of modern life , which they felt prevented them from experiencing it properly . mitchell\u2019s stories\u2014particularly the later ones , written after the advent of television\u2014unfold at a crawl , if they unfold at all . the stories have little in the way of narrative or plot , and he lets his characters talk as long as they please . \u201cmr . hunter\u2019s grave\u201d is fifteen thousand words , twelve thousand of which constitute quotes attributed to mr . hunter . digressions are everywhere . mitchell focuses on a side character , or he lays out a multicentury history of a peripheral detail . mitchell was a lifetime walker , a wanderer , and his essays evoke the feeling of a long , casual stroll , with no particular destination .\nat some point that week , though , the word ear began , well , ringing in ours . the knoxville music festival is called big ears , recalling mitchell\u2019s \u201cbent\u201d ones . we now wonder whether the type of careful , concentrated sonic experience on display at big ears\u2014where the audience is invited to move outside their comfort zones and immerse themselves in new sounds\u2014is analogous to mitchell\u2019s old - fashioned manner of venturing out into the back alleys of new york to hear people talk .\nthis past summer , we sifted through hundreds of mitchell\u2019s objects and have been placing them in a progressive installation at the contemporary art museum ( cam ) in raleigh . the installation , which accumulates work during its run ( it closes in january 2016 ) , is also called \u201cbig , bent ears , \u201d and though the installation was not something we envisioned when we began the online series , we think of it as extending the network of connections we\u2019ve begun making here . in the cam show , we\u2019ve placed videos of radiohead guitarist and composer jonny greenwood thirty feet from one of mitchell\u2019s old brooks brothers boxes filled with fragments of a shattered porcelain doll ; a panoramic photograph of an entranced big ears audience , by kate joyce , faces an old red fire alarm , another mitchell find ; a snapshot of mitchell and his grandchild amid rubble in lower manhattan is mounted on a wall outside a screening room where our film about nazoranai , perhaps the loudest , most challenging band in a challenging festival , plays on a loop .\nmitchell , too , found the balance of place and distance to be a crucial enigma : when he didn\u2019t feel at home in new york city , he\u2019d retreat to fairmont ; when he stopped feeling at home there , he\u2019d go back to the city .\nthe idea to explore connections between joseph mitchell and the big ears music festival was hatched a year ago in new york during a conversation with the paris review \u2019s managing editor , nicole rudick . we explained to her that we don\u2019t want outcomes to dictate policy . instead , for us , the form the final work is a function of the process itself . she replied that george plimpton had once described his e . m . forster interview for the first issue of the review as \u201can essay in dialogue on technique , \u201d and she thought the magazine was the perfect home for our ambitious project .\nnixon seemed to be right in this particular case , but i developed an extraordinary loathing for him . he symbolized for me everything that was wrong with the republican party . he was extremely threatening to what i thought was the best part of america\u2014the liberal eastern establishment .\nalong with the new title comes a new cast of lloyd thomas , mitchell ' s first choice for the role but who was unavailable last year , and laura corbett , chosen after impressing the writer with her performance in red at upstairs at three & ten .\nthe ambitious work never materialized\u2014at least not in written form . according to numerous first - person accounts , mitchell showed up daily at his new yorker office for three decades without submitting another story to the magazine . some reported that he could be heard typing behind the closed door of his office . over the years , this mysterious routine became legend . after mitchell\u2019s death in 1996 , his biographer thomas kunkel found only three pieces of the memoir\u2014fragments , really\u2014among his papers .\nin september , dell inc . won shareholder approval to buy back its stock and take the company private , a $ 24 . 8 - billion offer ceo michael dell was able to make thanks to the backing of some of the biggest financial players in the world\u2014the private equity behemoth silver lake \u00adpartners and a handful of banks including bank of america , credit suisse and , surprisingly , royal bank of canada . rbc\u2019s involvement in the deal is a sure sign that nixon\u2019s investment banking\u2013focused strategy has made the company a major presence on the international stage , and nixon\u2019s compensation reflects that : last year he raked in $ 12 . 6 million , more than his u . s . counterparts at the bank of \u00adamerica , jp morgan chase and citigroup . rbc has posted record profits during nixon\u2019s tenure ( reaching $ 7 . 5 billion last year ) and grown to 80 , 000 employees . in august , he announced that katie taylor , a 12 - year veteran of the rbc board , would take over as chair in january , making his bank the first in canada to appoint a female chair . up next : nixon is chief instigator behind aequitas , a proposed new stock exchange to rival the tmx . the effort is backed by heavy hitters like ci financial , igm financial and barclays .\non this particular evening , however , nixon was with his pal bebe rebozo in florida . vice president spiro agnew stood in for him . most of the members of nixon\u2019s cabinet were there , as well as governors , senators , publishers , supreme court justices , and the like . i was thirty - seven , one of the younger men in attendance , and one of the few without a national reputation in government or media . i was there because i was vice president and general counsel of the new york times co . it was an impressive title , but among the glitterati at the gridiron , it counted for little .\nmitchell\u2019s renowned exercise of wandering the back alleys looking for stories was the same method mccarthy used for suttree . knoxville psychologist and historian wes morgan has produced extensive research indicating that suttree \u2019s characters are substantially based on people mccarthy knew . one character\u2019s real name and phone number were published in the novel .\ni am not a radical liberal and never had been , but my attitude to nixon informed every move when i advised the times in the pentagon papers case . i thought i knew what he would do , how far he would go , what his legal strategies would be . it turned out i was right .\non that same trip to new york , we visited michael lieber in jackson heights , where he lives in the same building as \u201cbig , bent ears\u201d photographer richard rothman . lieber produced a film adaptation of \u201cjoe gould\u2019s secret\u201d in 2000 . in the eighties , he reached out to mitchell about adapting the work and to lieber\u2019s surprise , mitchell , whose books were out of print at the time , welcomed the idea . the two became friends . they took long walks together around midtown , near the new yorker \u2019s offices .\nat that point agnew became nixon\u2019s attack dog against the press even before inauguration . in a speech before the republican governor\u2019s conference , he accused the times of distortions and inaccuracies . smiling , he described the new york times and newsweek as \u201cexecutionary journals . \u201d he said there were other publications that were \u201cfit only to line the bottom of bird cages . \u201d\ni had two theories about why i was there . first , i was being thanked for several successful years . i had been leading the press\u2019s fight against nixon\u2019s attempts to subpoena reporters and it had been my idea to take the new york times co . public while retaining the control of the times in the sulzberger family .\nthe basics : sammi is the artistic fellow at the american repertory theater where she will direct \u201cviolet\u201d on a moving bus this spring . she recently directed a concert of songs from \u201cragtime\u201d on ellis island featuring a cast of 48 , including brian stokes mitchell , brandon victor dixon , and laura michelle kelly . assisting credits include \u201cthe great comet of

university . proud sdc associate .\non october 26 , 1968 , a week before nixon won the presidency in a landslide , the new york times ran an editorial accusing nixon\u2019s running mate spiro agnew of various misdeeds . the times said agnew was party to questionable land deals . it charged that his position as a director of maryland bank while governor of maryland involved \u201cclearly repeated conflicts of interest . \u201d the editorial concluded : \u201cin his obtuse behavior as a public official in maryland as well as in his egregious comments this campaign , mr . agnew has demonstrated that he is not fit to stand one step away from the presidency . \u201d\nhiss was tried again , and in the second case he was convicted of perjury and sent to prison . as a teenager i followed the hiss case as carefully as an average kid might follow his favorite baseball team . i knew all the players and all the events . in the liberal circles of cambridge , massachusetts , where i grew up , nixon and chambers were viewed as villains . they were out to destroy the liberal establishment .\nhe accused the times of being prejudiced because it had endorsed nixon\u2019s democratic rival , hubert humphrey , for president . \u201ceveryone knows that the times endorsed vice president hubert humphrey and is actively supporting him , \u201d his statement read . \u201cthe fact that the times waited until a week before the election to distort the facts and make its inaccurate charges against me compounds the libel . \u201d\nwork perhaps disguised by his beautiful , plain prose and comic hints of nostalgia . contemporary novelists bored by mitchell\u2019s sympathetic treatments of fishermen and other obscure characters might be more satisfied by mccarthy\u2019s fictional derelicts , suicidal drunks , thieves , and watermelon humpers . in any case , it\u2019s the same cast portrayed in the same postwar era , when culture at large is eager to leap toward the future and erase the recent past .\nnixon had smeared the times , accusing it of libel as he had smeared voorhees and douglas . there was no way for the public to know the times had not libeled agnew . if a presidential candidate takes time on a national tv show a few days before the election to accuse the times falsely , there was realistically no way for the times to defend itself .\nis even more ambitious that its predecessor . actors ross gurney - randall and david mounfield don ' t just portray big daddy and giant haystacks , but an immense supporting cast of lesser wrestlers , managers , and tv executives ; there are even walk - on parts for paul mccartney , frank sinatra and princess margaret . this constant switching from one role to another , one accent to the next , must be hard work for the actors , and would be hard work for the audience too if the writing were not so accomplished . as it is , the characters are always careful to remind us who they are , to keep up to speed on what they ' re doing and what ' s happening in the wider world of wrestling at each particular moment . it ' s all as funny as we ' ve come to expect from mitchell and nixon , but it ' s never\nwhat really interested mitchell , i believe , were not the artifacts of life\u2014but life , people , flesh and blood . yeah , there\u2019s the old hotel , yeah , there\u2019s mcsorley\u2019s saloon , yeah , there\u2019s sloppy louie\u2019s . but what he was fundamentally interested in , as far as i could tell , was the human drama .\nwhile garfield\u2019s book was dramatised in 1998 , wwe icon mick foley has turned into a stand - up , and writer / performer rob drummond trained himself for a show that culminated in him taking part in a fully fledged bout of drop - kicks and flying buttresses . also at this year\u2019s fringe is the return of the wrestling , a show produced by comedy duo , max and ivan . as for the wrestling itself , it\u2019s still there if you look hard enough in shows promoted on the summer holiday camp circuit by crabtree\u2019s arch - rival , brian dixon . \u2018it\u2019s not a huge revival , \u2019 mitchell observes , \u2018but people have noticed that it hasn\u2019t gone away , which is a good thing . i approve of a country that allowed the wrestling to exist more than the one that didn\u2019t . \u2019\nindeed , the nation\u2019s press on that sunday was more interested in tricia nixon\u2019s wedding the previous evening . i had watched excerpts of it on tv . i noted with interest some of the high - placed dignitaries who were there , and wondered how they would react to the bombshell story right there on the front page the next morning , next to coverage of the wedding .\nwhen on december 2 , 1948 , chambers produced microfilm of state department documents given to him by hiss , which chambers stored in a pumpkin , nixon crowed that the \u201cpumpkin papers\u201d showed the perfidy of liberal democrats . hiss , having denied knowing chambers , was indicted for perjury . hiss won the first perjury trial with a hung jury .\nthe six - foot - five german cut an imposing swath through the city\u2019s cultural scene when he took over as artistic director of luminato . weisbrodt brought worldly connections and discernment to the \u00adamorphous multidisciplinary festival , anchoring the 200 - event schedule with such big - name draws as marina abramovic\u00b4 and joni mitchell . ( that the reclusive and enigmatic mitchell performed is a testament to weisbrodt\u2019s powers of persuasion . ) the result was a festival that broke attendance records , selling upwards of $ 1 million in tickets , and made critics swoon . friends in high places : he and husband rufus \u00adwainwright are an art - world power duo . guests at their montauk wedding last year included abramovic\u00b4 , carrie fisher , \u00adjulianne moore , antony hegarty , lou reed , yoko ono , laurie anderson , the fashion designers victor and rolf , and jorn and rufus\u2019s daughter , viva cohen ( granddaughter of leonard ) .\ni sent a letter addressed to mitchell saying that we wouldn\u2019t retract what reston had said . throughout the rest of the campaign , the libel suit against the times was mentioned frequently by republican candidates . many who covered the election for the press said they felt under threat with everything they wrote .\nfrom august to december 1895 , the magazine\u2019s circulation rose from 120 , 000 to 250 , 000 . hoping to increase his circulation even more , mcclure turned his magazine into a home for a series of reform articles by such writers as tarbell , ray stannard baker , and joseph lincoln steffens . these pieces on the history of the standard oil company and corruption in city government contributed to the rise of muckraking journalism at the turn of the century and helped boost the magazine\u2019s circulation to approximately a half - million readers .\nwith the carnegie - medal - winning author philip reeve , brian wrote the acclaimed musical comedy the ministry of biscuits . a classically - trained composer , his songs for the perrier - nominated show , joanna neary is not feeling herself , have been broadcast on radios 1 , 2 and 4 . in 2009 the october revolutions , his first solo play , co - developed with mill studio and nightingale theatre , toured the south - east to rave reviews . brian is a founder member of the theatre collective the foundry group , and brighton five pound fringe , and is represented by noel gay . awards : buxton fringe award for best theatre production - 2011 / fringeguru editor ' s choice award - 2011 ( both for big daddy vs . giant haystacks ) / best comedy , brighton festival awards - 2006 ( for the ornate johnsons ) nominations : buxton fringe award for new writing - 2011 / perrier best newcomer - 2004 ( for joanna neary is not feelng herself )\nmitchell the storyteller rarely used inciting incidents , rising action , or climaxes ; his works reject resolution . often there is not even a main character . he compiled quotes , facts , images , details , words\u2014lists of things he didn\u2019t want to be forgotten\u2014and arranged them in sequences that feel effortless , a poetry of plainness unique to him .\nthe protagonist of \u201cmr . hunter\u2019s grave\u201d is an eighty - nine - year - old african american man who lives in a once - bustling neighborhood on staten island founded by freed slaves . when mitchell finds it , the neighborhood is hollowed out and decaying . all that\u2019s left are remnants of forgotten buildings and neglected people , like mr . hunter , who is jovial and pleasant but saddened by change and loss . mitchell quotes mr . hunter describing a walk he took in staten island\u2019s boondocks , where he inspected wildflowers before making a wrong step and ending up knee - deep in mud : \u201ci floundered around in the mud a minute , getting my bearings , and then i happened to raise my head and look up , and suddenly i saw , away off in the distance , miles and miles away , the tops of skyscrapers in new york shining in the morning sun . i wasn\u2019t expecting it , and it was amazing . it was like a vision in the bible . \u201d\ndavid mountfield and ross gurney - randall portray these two giants with gusto and spirit and quickly get the audience chanting \u201ceasy easy\u201d , big daddy\u2019s theme , and soon we were all cheering and booing ."]}

austerity protests , and a government criticized by the european union and the united states for failing to respect the rule of law during a failed bid to impeach president traian basescu .\nmany in the country of 19 million are fed up with a bitterly personal power struggle between basescu and prime minister victor ponta , especially as the country remains one of the poorest and most corrupt members of the eu , and endures deep austerity cuts in return for a \u20ac20 - million ( $ 26 - million ) bailout to help its foundering economy .\npolls give ponta ' s center - left governing coalition a comfortable 57 percent of the vote . but a fresh political crisis could break out after the election if , as threatened , the center - right basescu refuses to nominate ponta\u2014whom he recently called\na pig ,\na compulsive liar\nand a\nlittle cat .\ndiaconescu is frequently dismissed by mainstream politicians as an unsophisticated arriviste from the backward south , whose marathon talk shows on his otv channel \u2014 with the slogan\nlive sensationally\n\u2014made him a star . but he has taken votes from both basescu and ponta , and will likely be a pivotal voice in the new parliament . basescu ' s allies are expected to rely on him for support .\nhe has earned admiration from everyday people as a sort of romanian oprah winfrey , a man from a modest background who made good and hasn ' t forgotten his roots . though he drives a luxury car , he has never fixed his crooked teeth and is very quiet about his personal life and assets .\ni like diaconescu because he is pleasant and respectful to everyone whatever their class ,\nsaid lucia popescu , who works as a security guard in bucharest .\nhe thinks before he speaks , he is gentle and people have had enough of mudslinging all day long , on the tv and in the newspapers .\nin a country where corruption is virtually a way of life , diaconescu has not been immune to such allegations himself . ponta accused diaconescu of being a con man over his failed attempt to buy a chemical plant for \u20ac45 million ( $ 59 million ) , saying the entrepreneur never had the money and that it was just a pre - election publicity stunt .\ndiaconescu himself is under investigation for two fraud - related cases , for allegedly trying to blackmail a mayor to stop him airing damaging information , and for fraud in the chemical plant deal . he claims the charges were trumped up\u2014and calls himself an outsider who understands business better than many in government .\ndiaconescu , whose campaign is awash with his\nlucky\ncolor purple , promises to slash sales tax from 24 to 10 percent , create thousands of jobs and give \u20ac20 , 000 ( $ 26 , 000 ) to budding entrepreneurs . he told the ap he would find the funds from public money that is currently siphoned off by corrupt officials .\nwe believe that if this money is no longer stolen by our new political class , romania would have 40 percent more , and here i ' m talking about wages or pensions ,\nhe said .\nhis populist party , which was only created two years ago , is polling 15 percent , trailing just behind basescu ' s allies , the just romania alliance , a new grouping of center -

in for an oscar nomination , but ended up being snubbed by academy voters . that led to a change in the rules , taking some of the power to choose nominees away from voters and conferring it on a special committee .\nnow mr . mungiu , 44 , is back and competing with a new film , \u201cbeyond the hills , \u201d that has again scored big at cannes , with awards for screenplay and the performances of its two lead actresses . set in an orthodox monastery , it examines the friendship of two women who grew up together in an orphanage but have taken strikingly different paths as adults . one has become a nun , finding inner peace , while the other has migrated to germany and is so deeply troubled that when she returns to visit her friend that she ends up being subjected to an exorcism . ( it\u2019s based very loosely on a 2005 case in which a romanian novice died in an exorcism . )\n\u201cbeyond the hills\u201d was shown at the new york film festival this fall , when mr . mungiu was in town and sat down for an interview , and it will close the festival making waves : new romanian cinema at lincoln center on wednesday . here are edited excerpts from that october conversation :\nq . the real - life incident on which your film is based has been amply written about in the press and in two books by tatiana niculescu bran . what compelled you to go back to this episode ?\na . i knew about this story for a very long period , because this was in the press a lot , and i was preserving all the clips and i read the books . eventually i googled to see what the reaction of people was seven years later , only to discover that people were still so concerned and preoccupied and polarized by this that , apart from the books , i couldn\u2019t find any balanced position about what happened .\nfor me it was very important to see all the things this story can reveal . and this is why i decided to make a film out of it . actually , the great difference between the books and what i did is the relationship between the girls , which never existed in reality but which gave me a reason for everything that happened .\nq . for those two vital roles , you chose performers who had never acted in a film before , and they ended up sharing the best actress award at cannes . how did you achieve that ?\na . well , this is the crucial decision you need to make on a film like this : who are you going to work with ? we had the kind of liberty we\u2019ve never had before to just experiment with them , in the rehearsals and at the shooting . we rehearsed a lot during casting , read a lot , and i acted a lot for them , so i am giving them directly the tone of voice , the energy , the rhythm , the body language that i want . guidance , but not with words . i\u2019m not telling them what to do , i show them how to do .\nbut it\u2019s fair to say that by the end , i had adapted as much to them as they adapted to me . we did what was there in the script , but each time it wasn\u2019t possible to get the dialogue exactly right , i was adapting what i wanted to do and editing the scene to what they could do . because you can\u2019t push onto the actors something that does not belong to them .\nq . for many foreigners , their main image of romania , to the extent they have one at all , is of a strange and superstitious place , with transylvania and vampires and all of that . are you worried that \u201cbeyond the hills\u201d could reinforce those stereotypes ?\na . i hope the film will not be seen and interpreted like this . i think this is a local story speaking about things that are very general . what people are asked to do in the name of love for god , for example , this is the same in a lot of different religions . it\u2019s the same mechanism , the way it works . sin and the way evil works into the world , the way violence evolves into people .\none of the things that really interested me to investigate was , how does violence find a place in this community ? they are very mild people who start by sitting at the same table with this girl , and somehow a few days later they feel they are not fighting her , but demons inside her , and are entitled to make decisions about her life . how does this happen , practically ? where is this moment ? i don\u2019t think this belongs to a society that is underdeveloped , i think this can be understood to speak about things in a more general way .\nq . having seen three of your films , i have a sense that certain themes fascinate you , such as women in a situation of duress . is that fair to say ?\na . yes , but in \u201c tales from the golden age , \u201d there were also episodes that involved men in difficult situations . so it\u2019s not exclusive . actually , i am much more interested in the situation than the character . i don\u2019t start from characters . i need a situation that is very complex and layered and gives me the possibility to speak about a lot of things at the same time . i can\u2019t handle very simple things . i always need to have first of all a strong conflict between some people , and a world behind . at first this was the world of the end of communism , and now it\u2019s this religious world .\nq . i also want to ask you about the oscars . you know , don\u2019t you , that you\u2019re already famous in oscar history ?\na . ( laughs ) yes , in a very strange sense . but i don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair to expect too much from the oscars for the kind of films i do . i hope that people will watch the film and have the patience to understand that there is a kind of cinema that is different but that is also cinema , and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that .\na . i\u2019m talking about the oscar committee and also the oscar voters . what\u2019s important in cinema is to have options and allow spectators to say , \u201clet\u2019s see , i\u2019m going to see this kind , \u201d to have this liberty , to be able to choose . but you can\u2019t have a film which is going to be appreciated the same everywhere \u2014 in cannes , at the oscars , in romania . you just do the kind of cinema you are interested in , and then the film will have its fate , in different contexts with different people .\nq . does winning prizes mean anything to you ? because your films have done very well at cannes .\na . this has a very precise meaning . it helps the film to be seen , that is the benefit of awards . and the romanian new wave , this exists just because of cannes , honestly . we wouldn\u2019t represent anything , even in romania for our spectators , unless there was this kind of appreciation . actually , in romania people haven\u2019t seen my films a lot . but they appreciate the fact that i\u2019m appreciated . this is it . i\u2019m carrying the banner , like a football team and nadia comaneci , stuff like that .\ncosmina stratan , left , and cristina flutur in \u201cbeyond the hills , \u201d directed by cristian mungiu .\nordinarily , a change of government in a balkan capital would be little cause for concern at the film society of lincoln center . but when you sponsor a romanian film festival , and your romanian partner comes under attack by the new authorities in bucharest , thus jeopardizing your joint undertaking , you may find yourself thrust into a political imbroglio .\nthe festival , making waves : new romanian cinema , will begin as scheduled on thursday night at lincoln center , running through next wednesday . but the film society has severed its connection to the romanian cultural institute , the festival\u2019s original government - financed co - sponsor , in favor of collaboration with a new , private entity , called the romanian film initiative , run by the former director of the institute\u2019s new york office .\nin the last decade , the emergence of a romanian new wave has been one of the most startling developments in world cinema , with one film after another winning prizes at cannes and elsewhere . in new york a festival of romanian movies was first held in 2006 in tribeca under the auspices of the cultural institute , and last year was invited to move to lincoln center .\nbut the arrival of a new administration in bucharest \u201csent us back to square one , \u201d said corina suteu , who resigned in september , along with her deputy , oana radu , as director of the new york office of the romanian cultural institute . \u201cthe present authorities have gone back to a discourse on culture that is very archaic , and they do not consider new wave cinema as being \u2018representative\u2019 of romania . \u201d\nat lincoln center , film programmers said there was no hesitation about continuing their partnership with ms . suteu and her associates and they opted not to explore the possibility of an officially sanctioned event .\n\u201cunder this leadership , the cultural institute did incredible things to make the new romanian cinema visible in the united states , so there was never any question in our minds , \u201d said scott foundas , associate program director at the film society . \u201cour feeling always was that we think very highly of these people as curators , have very similar taste in cinema and are very pleased to have them as part of the extended lincoln center family . \u201d\nthe government of prime minister victor ponta , which came to power this spring , is a seemingly unlikely coalition between former communists and a conservative party . in june it issued an emergency ordinance modifying the 2003 statute setting up the romanian cultural institute , which had previously reported directly to president traian basescu , mr . ponta\u2019s political rival .\n\u201cit\u2019s an ionesco - like government , \u201d said mihai chirilov , the artistic director of the film festival , referring to the romanian playwright who is considered a father of the theater of the absurd . \u201cit\u2019s a very unexpected combination that shows their only aim is power . \u201d\nas a presence on the new york cultural scene since shortly after the fall of communism in 1989 , the romanian cultural institute has not limited itself to promoting its national cinema . the institute has also helped bring romanian writers to the annual pen world voices literary festival , supported visual artists in their efforts to get their work shown locally , and collaborated on shows featuring romanian music , both classical composers like the pianist dinu lipatti and pop groups like timpuri noi .\nin place of that longstanding emphasis on making romanian culture better known in the west , under the new emergency ordinance the institute\u2019s primary task is \u201cto uphold the identity\u201d of romanians living abroad . the previous , outward - looking policy was condemned in the ordinance as \u201chighly negative\u201d because it \u201cimpairs on a permanent basis the feeling of belonging to the romanian nation in the case of those temporarily living in other countries . \u201d\nthe romanian director andrei ujica has made several critically praised films , including \u201cvideogram of a revolution\u201d and \u201c the autobiography of nicolae ceausescu , \u201d shown at the new york festival in 2010 , that examine the relationship between political power and media manipulation . in a telephone interview from berlin , where he teaches cinema , he described the new government policy as an \u201cabusive change\u201d and \u201canticultural . \u201d\n\u201cit\u2019s a kind of attempt at a small cultural revolution , in a maoist meaning , but in a new form , coupled with the new tabloid culture that has become so strong in east european countries , \u201d he said . \u201cthat is a new and dangerous mixture , with a very rigid nationalist focus . \u201d\non the web site of mr . ponta , the government has denied any intention to seize control of the cultural apparatus or limit freedom of expression . \u201cthe decisions that have been adopted are meant only to build a more comprehensive democratic framework for the romanian cultural institute\u2019s functioning and to redress the problems pertaining to its spending of public money , \u201d an official statement said .\nwith government financing ruled out , ms . suteu and her associates did what everyone does these days : they began a kickstarter campaign that raised $ 22 , 000 from some 300 people . in other gestures of support , leading romanian artists , writers and film figures , both in the diaspora and back home , signed protest petitions and also contributed money , and the trust for mutual understanding , which promotes cultural and other exchanges between the united states and the former soviet bloc , supplied a $ 50 , 000 grant .\nthe festival opens on thursday with \u201cof snails and men , \u201d an absurdist comedy by tudor giurgiu , and will conclude with cristian mungiu\u2019s religious drama \u201c beyond the hills , \u201d which won two awards at the cannes film festival this spring .\nin between , the bill includes several works by promising new directors and a retrospective of the films of alexandru tatos , who died in 1990 and is considered a major influence on the new wave .\nunusually , the program also includes two panel discussions , titled \u201ccreative freedom through cinema : romania and hungary , \u201d that will be linked with screenings on saturday and sunday . hungary , romania\u2019s neighbor , is included in the discussion because the nationalist government there has been criticized as curbing freedom of expression .\n\u201ccorina and oana have been very quick on their feet to make this happen , which i\u2019m not sure everyone could do , \u201d mr . foundas said . \u201cit was a very bold move on their part , and without skipping a beat , they have created an entity to protect the independence of this festival and to continue going forward in the way we want to see . \u201d\nlate american actor larry hagman , who died last week , came to romania in the 80 ' s , when the soap opera dallas , where hagman played the famous oil magnate j . r . ewing , was becoming popular in the then communist country as well .\nthe british newspaper sunday times recently published an article about hagman\u2019s trip to romania in the 80 ' s and the money he received from the communist regime for letting them use his image on a billboard in bucharest .\nlarry hagman had told this secret to an american journalist , but asked him not to publish it while he was still alive . \u201chagman said he had no objection provided a bag filled with hard currency was left in the ladies\u2019 lavatory of a government office for his wife to pick up the next day , \u201d according to the sunday times article bylined by john harlow . his wife indeed picked up the brown bag with money and the couple spent it fast .\nin 2011 , hagman said the soap opera dallas had a huge influence in international politics and that he was convinced that broadcasting the series in the 80 ' s in a communist country like romania could have been one of the triggers for the 1989 revolution which led to the fall of communism . the ceausescu regime agreed to broadcast the movie to show its people the bad ways of the west , but the plan backfired , hagman believed . romanians saw how life could be elsewhere in the world and ended up wanting to live that very life .\nlarry hagman died last friday at a hospital in dallas . he has been diagnosed with liver cancer 20 years ago and for the past year he had been fighting neck cancer , which stemmed from his initial liver disease . hagman , 81 , was performing the role which made him famous around the world , j . r . ewing , in the soap - opera reboot for tnt .\n\u201clarry hagman was a giant , a larger - than - life personality whose iconic performance as j . r . ewing will endure as one of the most indelible in entertainment history . he truly loved portraying this globally recognized character , and he leaves a legacy of entertainment , generosity and grace , \u201d wrote warner bros in a statement .\nhaving brilliantly documented the horror of stalin\u2019s soviet terror machine in her pulitzer prize - \u00adwinning \u201c gulag , \u201d anne applebaum now offers a bulky sequel , \u201ciron curtain , \u201d about the brutal effort of that same machine to crush and colonize eastern europe in the first decade after world war ii . her evidence , once again drawn from archival research and some survivor interviews , is overwhelming and convincing . but the heart of her story is hardly news .\napplebaum tracks the salami slicing as typically practiced in poland , hungary and germany , and serves up not only the beef but also the fat , vinegar and garlic in exhausting detail . she shows how the knives were sharpened before the war\u2019s end in soviet training camps for east european communists , so that trusted agents could create and control secret police forces in each of the \u201cliberated\u201d nations . she shows how reliable operatives then took charge of all radio broadcasting , the era\u2019s most powerful mass medium . and she demonstrates how the soviet stooges could then , with surprising speed , harass , persecute and finally ban all independent institutions , from youth groups and welfare agencies to schools , churches and rival political parties .\nalong the way , millions of germans , poles , ukrainians and hungarians were ruthlessly driven from their historic homes to satisfy soviet territorial ambitions . millions more were deemed opponents and beaten , imprisoned or hauled off to hard labor in siberia . in stalin\u2019s paranoid sphere , not even total control of economic and cultural life was sufficient . to complete the terror , he purged even the communist leaders of each satellite regime , accusing them of treason and parading them as they made humiliating confessions .\nit is good to be reminded of these sordid events , now that more archives are accessible and some witnesses remain alive to recall the horror . still , why should we be consuming such a mass of detail more than half a century later ?\nin her introduction applebaum says it is important to remember that \u201chistorically , there were regimes that aspired to total control , \u201d not only of the organs of state but also of human nature itself . we should be studying how totalitarianism worked , she maintains , because \u201cwe can\u2019t be certain that mobile phones , the internet and satellite photographs won\u2019t eventually become tools of control\u201d in other places . well , vladimir putin may yet make her a prophet , but so far this century , technology has become a welcome defense against tyranny .\nmore relevant to contemporary discussion are some themes applebaum evokes along the way but never develops . she begins her tale by insisting that the united states and britain , having promised the east europeans a democratic future , quickly abandoned them to soviet domination . true enough . yet what were the west\u2019s alternatives ? the door to europe was left open for stalin in 1945 because the americans were rapidly redeploying to fight japan and eager to enlist stalin in the pacific war . applebaum does not speculate about how soviet colonization might have been forestalled or what methods of intervention for freedom we should be applying now in cuba or north korea , syria or china .\nsimilarly , she barely touches on the contrary claims of some historians that it was not the west\u2019s appeasement but rather hostility against the soviet union that provoked stalin\u2019s aggressive responses . these scholars accuse the united states of having triggered the cold war , thus baiting stalin into taking crude defensive countermeasures . applebaum\u2019s evidence provides a telling rebuttal to those \u201crevisionist\u201d theories , but she never really engages them .\nmost conspicuously missing is any sustained examination of soviet motives for the rape of eastern europe . what did the russians want ? revenge against germany and its allies ? compensation for their enormous loss of life and suffering in the war and the spoils due a victor ? was the domination of neighboring states a wildly arrogant policy of defense so that no conqueror could ever again follow napoleon and hitler to moscow ? or was it a revival of russia\u2019s imperial desire to annex at least half of poland , to secure a rebellious ukraine and to incorporate the baltic states and various adjacent balkan lands ?\napplebaum\u2019s overriding interest is in stalin\u2019s deranged tyranny , which aggravated the postwar horror inside the soviet union at the same time that it was being slavishly imitated by his east european henchmen until his death in 1953 . yet stalin\u2019s successors were just as intent on preserving their dominion . why ? applebaum contends that stalin , having once postponed the soviet dream of igniting an international communist revolution , \u201cwas preparing to relaunch it\u201d in 1944 as the red army rolled westward . but that passing comment \u2014 and debatable premise\u2014is all she offers to explain soviet policy .\nwhile her documentation of the soviet takeover is impressive , at this late date fewer facts and more analysis would have been welcome . the seeds of the communists\u2019 ultimate failure in east europe are strewed throughout her book , but with little explanation . she shows how poorly the communist regimes provided for their consumers and how they alienated the workers in whose name they governed . why ? and does not this subject require lengthy discussion of how communism collided with the deeply rooted nationalisms of the region ? applebaum incisively demonstrates the moral confusion that haunted roman catholic leaders and other opponents of the communist regimes , some openly hostile , some reluctantly cooperative , many simply passive . but how should we evaluate their choices ?\n\u201ciron curtain\u201d is not a full history of the iron curtain because of applebaum\u2019s decision to end her history in 1956 , just as poles and hungarians openly rebelled against soviet control . there then followed a 30 - year effort in the kremlin to stabilize and reform all communist societies , but the east europeans remained restive , held captive only by soviet armed might . the colonization became a huge burden on the soviet economy , and the lures of western democracy and economic achievement produced corrosive holes in that curtain . finally , when mikhail gorbachev refused to shoot to preserve his costly empire , the curtain collapsed altogether and dragged down the soviet center as well .\napplebaum rightly concludes , long before that climax , that the totalitarian spell could never be sustained for long . but she declines to generalize about the reasons or the defenses we all may need against other totalitarian threats . instead , what she has given us is a concrete and sad record that honors the memory of the millions who were slaughtered , tortured and suppressed in the mad pursuit of totality .\nmax frankel , former executive editor of the times , reported for many years from moscow and eastern europe .\nsaul steinberg ' s\nuntitled\n( 1948 ) , ink on paper .\nsaul steinberg , the pre - eminent cartoonist of the 20th century , specialized in high - i . q . humor . in an age when cartoons were populated by henpecked husbands and conniving wives in hair curlers , he found his inspiration in the unlikely realm of philosophical inquiry . long associated with the new yorker , he once filled four pages of the magazine with a field of hand - drawn question marks .\nhis best - known work was perhaps too famous . he complained about being known as \u201cthe man who did that poster . \u201d he was referring , of course , to \u201cview of the world from 9th avenue , \u201d his myopic , manhattan - centric map that was scaled and skewed to capture the interior cartography of new yorkers , where places like kansas city and china do not exist except as dots in the irrelevant beyond .\ndeirdre bair , in her gripping and revelatory \u201csaul steinberg : a biography , \u201d redraws the world map , pushing ninth avenue into the background and foregrounding the view from bucharest . steinberg spent his first 19 years in romania , a primitive and repugnant \u201csewer\u201d of a country , as he liked to say . he was among the waves of jewish refugees who fled to safety here during world war ii . it says something about his ethnic - tinged sense of humor that he once described picasso , after visiting him at his villa outside cannes , as \u201can old jewish man in the florida sun\u2014all torso and shorts . \u201d\nwho was saul steinberg ? his acquaintances thought of him as an elegant dandy who seemed catlike in his refinement . in his prime , he lived on the upper east side of manhattan , dined out most every night and held forth at dinner parties with piquant erudition and wit . but behind the thick glasses and mandarin mask lay a haunted figure , a fearful man who visited indignities upon himself and those around him . as bair reveals , his love life was a string of infidelities , and crabbiness was his default mood . he eschewed interviews and spurned the company of very young children .\nhe was born in 1914 , at a time when romanian jews were still deemed unworthy of the rights of citizenship by their own government . his father , moritz , earned his living designing and manufacturing cardboard boxes , and the family\u2019s circumstances became precarious with the rise of the ultraright iron guard . everywhere he turned , the young steinberg was faced with the sting of exclusion and state - sanctioned insult . he claimed , only half - jokingly , that \u201ceven dogs gazed at us reproachfully . \u201d\nhis high school diploma stigmatized him as a jew , a person professing the \u201cmosaic\u201d faith , which gave him a theme . it allowed him to see how a document that purports to confer identity can obliterate identity . in later life , his artistic output included a series of humorous diplomas and certificates . in fact , much of his work appropriated and satirized the visual conventions of government documents , with their seals and rubber stamps , their flowery signatures , their clumps of text that no one ever read . a government document , as much as any fine - art print , is made from ink on paper . this is the medium on which steinberg staked his career and gained his citizenship in the art world .\nhe was seldom without a suitcase . after studying architecture in milan , he sailed to new york in june 1941 by way of lisbon . he arrived at ellis island , only to be refused entry because the quota for romanian refugees had been surpassed . he was put on another ship , this one to the dominican republic , where he slept beneath mosquito netting and waited his turn to enter the united states . a year later , he finally got to new york and , after a euphoric interlude exploring manhattan , received an inconvenient assignment : the united states navy was sending him to china ."]}

hearted zamindar , helps a woman in distress who is almost run over by his car .\nthe setting is standard , a village milieu which has the usual vazhukkumaram , local festivities and a hero who practically vaults over the entire village before landing on the slippery log with ease . this is how you ' re introduced to him and his pretty , ideal and cinematic family . he ' s idhayakkani ( adhi ) , his father is bakkiyanathan ( prabhu ) with an obsession for mgr and his films ( his children are named after those ) , wife kalaiyarasi , and daughter rani samyuktha . bakkiyanathan ' s parents are ravichandran and k r vijaya , and according to the time - tested custom of grandparents in tamil cinema , have nothing to do but smile , wear expensive clothes and apparently sit on rocking horses at their familial home .\nidhayakkani ' is the story of the kind - hearted mohan ( mgr ) whose theory of life is ' equality ' and who puts it in practice by sharing equally the income of his estate with his labourers . he has another passion - he wants to serve the country - and for that , he has joined the police force as an officer . he meets a needy girl , lakshmi , and on the advice of and elderly domestic help , he permits her to stay in his house . tongues start wagging and mohan decides to marry the girl . however , his happiness is short - lived . he gets the shock of his life when he comes to know that his wife is involved in the murder of a leading scientist . what is the truth ? did lakshmi murder the scientist or is she innocent . if so , then who is the culprit ? how does mohan go about finding the truth ?\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nmgr started his career in acting ( small roles ) from 1937 . by 1947 his leading role movie rajakumari was released . from 1948 to 1950 he has acted as hero and as well as second hero character , then from 1950 to 1977 ( or 1978 ) he was the hero .\ntotal films released up to 1978 is 136 , hero acted movies are 117 . in this 117 , one movie is telugu movie sarvathikari and one malayalam movie jenovah . both these movies are released in tamil version also . the tamil movies only taken into account that is 115 . his success rate follows :\nmgr movie ithayakani was the block buster film for the year 1975 . entertainment tax was raised from 1973 and tamil cinema found difficulties . here is an example , laudatory from one of the tamil movie producer muktha srinivasan on the achievement made by mgr films in 1975 .\nthe movie ithyakani was released on 22 . 8 . 1975 all over the south .\nchennai ( or ) madras \u2013 sathyam , maharani and uma . madurai \u2013 chinthamani coimbatore \u2013 central . salem \u2013 alankar thirunelveli \u2013 central trichy \u2013 palace erode \u2013 royal vellore \u2013 krishna\nsome theatres which released the above movies are ( 1 ) mekala ( 2 ) select ( 3 ) liberty ( 4 ) natraj ( 5 ) albert ( 6 ) baby albert ( 7 ) noorjahan ( 8 ) muralikrishna ( 9 ) ganapathi ram ( 10 ) vijaya ( 11 ) mahalakshmi ( 12 ) kamadhenu ( 13 ) broadway ( 14 ) minerva ( 15 ) gopi krishna ( 16 ) golden eagle ( 17 ) sri brinda ( 18 ) star ( 19 ) bharath .\nnadodi mannan was released end of july 2006 and reached 24 centres in just 5 months .\nrecords provided by ma . ki . venkat , ( organiser / amaipalar \u2013 central chennai ) ponmanachemmal mgr bakthargal kuzhu and thamizhaga makkal thilagam mgr pothu nala mandram .\nthese are the re -

making process by writers . the writer\u2019s pre - eminence in this period is , however , to be seen in its film - historical context in order for it to make full sense . in the studio era , which lasted well into the 1950s in the south and in which actors continued to be somewhat dependent on studios , the narrative was also marked by a plurality of themes and plots , a fragmentary and episodic form in which different elements were often only very weakly connected with the whole . there was , thus , a dominance of the \u2018writer\u2019 in the studio , which extended in the case of the dmk film to these politically - inclined writers . however , they wrote conventional stories into which they inserted dmk messages , rather than attempting to transform the dominant film form as a whole . yet , sivathamby\u2019s main point remains , that in this phase the writers ( and producers / directors ) determined the shape of the film .\n\u201cin the second phase of the dmk - oriented films when mgr was the chief personality , \u201d writes sivathamby , \u201cthe entire argument was woven around the protagonist himself . the whole concept was personalised in that it was shown as emanating from the personality of the actor . here the emphasis was equally placed on the actor as it was on the story . here too it is the dramatic narrative that is important , but the world of conflict exists only as a world centred round the hero and his personal emancipation symbolises the emancipation from the social evil depicted . if we accept this position , and see it in the background that the particular actor chooses to act only in particular roles then it becomes easy for the identification of the actor with the character . such was the case with mgr . \u201d sivathamby adds further , \u201cin the case of mgr there is an additional force of the social circumstance . he played the characters of heroes who are socially relevant to the vast majority of the tamil filmgoers . in such a situation , he emerged as the symbol of the fulfilment of their own wishes . \u201d\nwhat these remarks bring into sharp focus is the transformation that occurred in the dmk film , whereby the figure of mgr became the dominant signifier in the films , and the message became valid only because it emanated from this privileged source . the rise of mgr as an autonomous signifier that transcended the party programme coincided with the entry of dmk into parliamentary politics . the breaking up of the madras presidency in the course of states reorganisation in 1956 , and the coming into being of the madras state ( later tamil nadu ) , also form part of this background . the film nadodi mannan ( 1958 ) established mgr in his new role , and the party acknowledged this by organising a massive public reception . mgr was taken out in a procession , seated on a chariot against the backdrop of a rising sun , and garlanded by elephants . ( many years later , when asked what he would do were he to become a minister , mgr told the interviewer that he had already answered the question in nadodi mannan . )\nthe relative strength of the political and the aesthetic domains involved in this process must also be taken into account . dmk intellectuals never tried to transform the film form , but simply employed whatever form was offered by the industry for their own purposes . thus , when mgr appeared in nadodi mannan , it was already a star film of the kind that was then beginning to be made in all south indian languages . the history of the political use of cinema has been , as it were , short - circuited by the history of the evolving relationship of historical audiences to the cinematic image . no doubt , the roles had been reversed , and mgr , instead of serving as a bearer of the party message , had himself become the most important message of the film . however , it would be inadequate if not misleading to describe this as a case of one man\u2019s clever manipulation of the party\u2019s programme to serve his own ends . even though that seems to be very much a part of the story of tamil nadu politics , it is simplistic to say that mgr \u2018used\u2019 the dmk film as a vehicle to launch himself before turning the tables on his benefactors . on the other hand , it cannot be denied that the dmk was short - changed in the phase of its dependence on mgr . everything , thus , points to a radical break , rather than merely a shift in emphasis , at the transition point identified by sivathamby .\nin 1964 , the popular magazine kumudam carried a \u2018review\u2019 of three films , authored by an imaginary subaltern by the name of \u2018cycle rickshaw mallayya\u2019 . the longest section of the review is devoted to the mgr release of the week , padagotti . using this fictional mgr fan as a cover , the reviewer offers the prevalent middle class opinions about the dominant stars , especially mgr and sivaji ganesan . the fictional reviewer objects to a scene in padagotti in which the heroine slaps mgr : \u201ci cannot accept this , the director has made a big mistake . \u201d he also dismisses another spectator\u2019s sceptical remarks about mgr\u2019s stunts , and generally indulges in long , admiring descriptions of the star . the review then turns its attention to navaratri ( 1966 ) , a sivaji ganesan - starrer . here the \u201creview from below\u201d proves to be very even - handed .\nduring the 1960s , one important change became noticeable . in thaikku thalaimagan ( worthy son , 1967 ) , \u201cas in mgr films usually , rather than showing the hero as falling in love with the heroine , it has become customary to show her as desiring him\u201d .\nhowever , the \u2018collective farming\u2019 scene refers not to a collective at all , but to a zamindari . the equal distribution of profits loses its meaning if it is not referred back to the will of the person who decrees it . thus , we can infer a continuity between this scene and the rest of the film , which is a fairly routine action melodrama about a zamindar with a golden heart who turns out to be a policeman . innumerable films have been made in which good zamindars and loyal workers and servants cleave to each other in scenes of heart - wrenching emotion , involving devastating sacrifices usually by the servant .\nso , we have seen how mgr , the first of the new - style stars of the tamil cinema , transcended the role assigned to him by the dmk as the bearer of the party message ; mgr himself emerged as the only message .\na man fled after his wife caught him undressing a minor girl , in an attempt to rape her , in birsa area of balaghat district . according to the police , saku netam ( 25 ) tried to rape the 10 - year - old girl , a student of class 5 , while she was alone at her house on friday evening . . .\ndesingu raja tamil movie | video song | comedy & super scenes | trailer | full movie | vimal | bindu madhavi | d . imman | soori | hd 1080p -

konkona sen sharma starrer\ntalvar\n, which is based on the infamous aarushi talwar murder case , will hit theatres on october 2 .\nthis is not a spoiler . as the notice right at the beginning of the film makes clear , talvar is based on real incidents and characters drawn from the aarushi - hemraj murders of 2008 . the fate of the accused is well - known and talvar doesn ' t rewrite reality . the biggest spoiler isn ' t what happened in the plot or the new details that talvar reveals about the politics behind the murder investigation . it ' s in the grim reality of what it means to be an everyman in india , someone who lives an average , everyday life .\nthe lawyer for the talwars has been quoted as saying the family had seen both the film and the script , but director gulzar denies this , saying the talwars must have seen the film\u2019s posters and trailer . she says the team met a \u201clot of people\u201d during their research , but not after the film was complete .\n\u201cif the film can start a debate to have a relook at the case , i think it would have served it purpose , \u201d said meghna , answering questions from the audience after the screening of the film .\nkareena kapoor khan i / v on ' veere di wedding ' : talks about film & her . .\ntalvar uses the \u2018rashomon effect\u2019 to cast doubts over the conviction of talwars in aarushi double murder case . the film , nonetheless , is an intriguing and gripping thriller that boasts of brilliant performances , witty dialogues and much more . you should definitely not miss this one .\nthere are lot of things that \u201ctalvar\u201d gets right in the cinema department , but where it falters is in the morality of making a film like this . nupur and rajesh talwar have been convicted of murdering their daughter and their appeal against the verdict is yet to be heard . the filmmakers are careful not to mention their names anywhere , but the publicity material has made it clear that \u201ctalvar\u201d tells the story of the talwars .\ntalvar < \\ / i > received the fabulous response it deserves from all quarters . do you wish it had got a solo release , and didn\u2019t clash with\nwith a thin line between the reel and real , a film on a real - life event can easily colour views of people , since the art of filmmaking comes with a fair amount of cinematic liberty . and even before the release of the film , the clouds of doubt over the authenticity of facts loom large over the director and the film . however , meghna maintains that the film is unbiased and follows a neutral approach .\ntalvar movie review : it is a difficult film to watch because we know all along that we are not in some fictitious la -

changer at the box office , rewriting movie viewing patterns , especially on weekdays .\nmeghna gulzar\u2019s film that was earlier titled talwar will now be called nyodda . the film is a fictional dramatisation of the aarushi talwar murder case which is still being investigated . starring konkona sen sharma , irrfan , tabu , neeraj kabi and sohum shah , the film has been produced by vishal bhardwaj and junglee pictures . nyodda \u2019s release date is still undecided .\nin talvar , bhardwaj once again tries to lead the viewer in a certain direction , perhaps driven by a hidden agenda to change the public opinion about the talwar couple convicted for the dual murder of aarushi and hemraj . as a matter of fact , talvar reminds this critic of the propaganda films of old like battleship potemkin - - a revolutionary propaganda film made by the luminary russian filmmaker sergei eisenstein to evoke sympathy for the rebellious sailors of the battleship potemkin and hatred for their overlords - - and triumph of the will - - a powerful film made by the german filmmaker leni riefenstahl at the behest of adolf hitler to perpetuate the nazi propaganda . while talvar may not have been made in the same vein as those two monumental films , the propaganda is still quite evident .\nthe film , which released alongside akshay kumar starrer \u201csingh is bliing\u201d and hollywood film \u201cthe martian\u201d , managed to make its presence felt at the box office with positive word of mouth publicity . its collection is expected to hike towards the weekend .\n[ talvar ] is bound to stir up controversy on its home turf with its dramatically potent depiction of police ineptitude , media excess , bureaucratic infighting and a possible miscarriage of justice .\nbaahubali has won the best film award at 63rd national film award . bollywood superstar amitabh bachchan won the best actor award for his role in ' piku ' while kangana ranaut won best actress for her role in ' tanu weds manu returns .\nwhereas , mahesh kale took home the best playback singer ( male ) award for crooning in marathi film \u201ckatyar kaljat ghusali\u201d .\nthe film has a rashomon like narrative , putting different viewpoints and storylines in place and whetting your appetite with each reveal .\neven though the film is powerhouse of talent , it is irrfan khan who leads the film right from his entry . with this film , he has yet again proved why he is the most bankable star in bollywood today . his performance is absolutely magnetic and compelling . even though konkona sen sharma seems to have underplayed her role , she is convincing in her part .\nhe winners of the 63rd national film awards have been announced . the 11 - member jury was headed by ramesh sippy .\nas investigator after investigator ploughs through technical evidence , multitudes of tests and testimonies , \u201ctalvar\u201d does a good job of cutting it all out and keeping the entire process of deconstructing a crime interesting . like chaitanya tamhane\u2019s \u201c court \u201c , \u201ctalvar\u201d deals with the flaws in india\u2019s criminal justice system and how it is often governed by the prejudices and limitations of the people running it .\nall of this indulgence can be fine , but it also feels like a diversion and it makes talvar a tad bit long . khan ' s kumar stands tall despite this back story .\nfor all its positives , talvar fails to keep that distance , and therefore compromises its ability to be an impartial , unbiased chronicle of what is india ' s most sensational murder case .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nbharadwaj ' s script is solid and the case is eventful enough to hold our attention , but talvar ' s direction lacks imagination . gulzar could have toyed with the audience a lot more than she does in talvar . however , one must also keep in mind that she has made this film within many constraints \u2014 not the least of which are legal since the aarushi - hemraj murders are an ongoing case \u2014 and considering the tightrope gulzar must have had to walk , she ' s done well .\nafter giving up the rights to the title dishkiyaoon for shilpa shetty ' s maiden production venture last year , pritish nandy ' s production house has now shown benevolence to meghna gulzar . her upcoming film inspired from the aarushi talwar murder case which was earlier titled ' nyodda ' will now be called ' talvar ' .\ntalvar collected rs 2 . 50 crore on its opening day , the box office collection witnessed a slight growth on its second day ( saturday ) and earned rs 2 . 75 crore , and on sunday ( october 4 ) , the business went up by about 40 % . on its third day , talvar has grossed rs 3 . 50 crore from the domestic box office .\nthere is a side plot in the film that gives us khan ' s back - story - - his troubled marriage to tabu . irrfan khan and tabu together are a dream cast . bhardwaj has worked with them twice , including in last year ' s haider and in talvar he even gets to tip his hat to the director ' s father sampooran singh kalra aka gulzar ' s 1987 film ijaazat and its iconic song mera kuch samaan .\nthis resulted in the pre production cost of the film being equal to the production cost , which is something that rarely happens .\nauthenticity of the data . however , they are adequately indicative of the box - office performance of the film ( s ) .\norganised by the asian film awards academy , the awards gala will be held on march 17 at the venetian theater in macau .\nthe title was initially registered with pritish nandy communications ( pnc ) . a source close to the makers says ,\nthe rights were with pnc , but when vishal bhardwaj started writing the film , he had the ' talvar ' name in mind . so the producers decided to go with nyodda as the working title .\nirrfan attributed his presence in the film to the power of the story . \u201cwhen i read this script , there were different versions of the story , but still there were such powerful emotions in it . that is what compelled me to do the film . \u201d\nin the film , aarushi is shruti , hemraj is khempal , the talwars are the tandons , and the cbi is the cdi . but the facts of the case\u2014all those rusty swords of police incompetence and cbi politics\u2014are unaltered . the film begins with nutan tandon (\nfor best screenplay (\ntalvar\n) , amit trivedi for best original music (\nbombay velvet\n) and srinivas mohan (\nbaahubali : the beginning\n) for best visual effects .\nhyena road , the anticipated afghan war film , will also receive a world premiere . director paul gross\u2019 passchendaele opened toronto in 2008 .\nin india , while the film city studios in mumbai ensured weather conditions weren\u2019t a factor , there were other matters to contend with .\non monday at a mall in goregaon , mumbai , but the shows were housefull . i had been hearing positive reviews for the film , so i drove down to vapi , which is almost 180km from mumbai , to watch the film with my fiance on thursday\nmurder case . i would like to watch the film and see how it presents this very twisted case . there have been films made on real cases like the jessica lal murder case , but no one killed jessica came and went . people watched the film and forgot about it . what is to be seen now is how this case is presented in this film and whether it leaves an impact on the audience\u2019s mind . i haven\u2019t discussed the film so far with other lawyers , but i would like to know their views as well .\nearlier , bhardwaj had won the national film award for best screenplay for \u201chaider\u201d ( which he had co - written with basharat peer ) . the film had also won him the best music direction honour . he had also been lauded for his compositions for \u201cishqiya\u201d and \u201cgodmother\u201d .\n\u201ci hope my film starts the journey towards closure , \u201d said gulzar , whose first two films were a family drama and a romance .\nmeghna gulzar ' s film based \u2018nyoda ' on aarushi talwar murder case will reportedly show aarushi ' s parents ' side of the story .\nthe film is replete with a lot of black humour , something that bhardwaj says was inherent in the story despite its very tragic tone .\nthese apart , he had won the national awards for best children\u2019s film ( \u201cthe blue umbrella\u201d ) and a special jury award for \u201comkara\u201d .\ntalvar < \\ / i > is a very honest take on the aarushi murder case .\n} , {\nid\n:\ntxt1444223198486\n,\ndata\n:\nhow do you feel about\ntalvar , for the most part , is engaged in a tussle with itself , trying to balance the mechanics of the case , which lends it gravitas and importance , with the plight of its characters who , battling one misfortune after the other , are compelling material for any motion picture drama . bhardwaj chooses real over reel in talvar , sacrificing moments of potential dramatic tension in lieu of fixing his gaze on the case , a decision that doesn\u2019t necessarily benefit the film at all times . ( it\u2019s curious how the opposite worked in haider \u2014the first half of the film , taking its cues from the nonfiction book curfewed nights , worked significantly better than the second half , which was based on hamlet . )\nmeghna gulzar\u2019s \u201ctalvar\u201d also bagged the best location sound recordist honour . the best song award went to \u201ckaathirun nu kaathirunnu\u201d from \u201cennu ninte moideen\u201d , while ace composer ilaiyaraaja won the best background score honour for \u201cthaarai thappattai\u201d .\ntalvar is a pro - talwar film . there is a very subtle undertone to the narrative that paints rajesh and nupur talwar , parents of aarushi who have been convicted in the double murder case , as victims of insensitive investigators and the judicial system in our country . talvar uses the \u2018rashomon effect\u2019 , named after the japanese movie akira kurosawa employed by filmmakers to highlight how unreliable and subjective human perception can be , to cast doubts over the conviction of talwars . the movie shows three different versions of the incident : those of the cops\u2019 , the cdi\u2019s and the parents\u2019 .\nss rajamouli\u2019s magnum opus baahubali was declared the best film at 63rd national film awards announced on monday ( march 28 ) . bollywood superstar amitabh bachchan won the best actor award for his role in \u2018piku\u2019 while actress kangana ranaut won best actress for her role in \u2018tanu weds manu returns . \u201d\nled the way with an average of $ 15 , 221 in four theaters , which is very strong for a documentary . the film ' s\nthat is what shruti\u2019s father ( neeraj kabi ) cries out , in \u2018talvar\u2019 . and that anguished cry and the mother\u2019s ( konkona sen sharma ) too - stunned - for - tears face leave us deeply conflicted , deeply uncomfortable . \u2018talvar\u2019 is a difficult film to watch because we know all along that we are not in some fictitious la - la land ; we are in noida , where the killings took place , and the events that unfold have a distinct ring of reality . the film\u2013 part police procedural , part dark , twisted crime drama\u2013 is as real as a constructed - for - the - camera document can be , with its portrayal of the professional rivalries between the investigating teams , and insatiable media persons .\nand that is where talvar comes into play .\nso what talvar does is that it picks up all the information , all the various theories , all the contradictions , all the lapses and the investigation that went into this case and lays it out in a fairly easy - to - understand manner , and tries to make sense of the clutter that we have been served over the last eight years ,\nadds the director .\ntalvar < \\ / i > and would\u2019ve still done equally well .\n} , {\nid\n:\ntxt1444223235918\n,\ndata\n:\nin a candid chat , the national award winner talks about\n\u201ci was particularly anxious about the screenplay of \u2018talvar\u2019 as it constantly jumps timelines and intricately weaves together multiple perspectives . it was a challenge to write and i am deeply humbled by this prestigious recognition , \u201d he added .\nthere was no indication that meghna gulzar , who\u2019s made a couple of terrible films before this , would come up with something that sears , that make us question our precepts about fealty and loyalty , about crime and punishment . \u2018talvar\u2019 , which rhymes so closely with \u2018talwar\u2019 , is a brave film that devastates , and despite its flaws , makes for a compelling watch .\nif it was possible to separate talvar from the appalling mismanagement of the actual aarushi - hemraj murder investigations , then we could perhaps discuss the film ' s merits as we do with any other non - documentary film . we could note that the film ' s pace abruptly shifts to fifth gear after intermission . we could shake our heads disapprovingly at the unnecessary cameo appearance that tabu makes in talvar and rue how little powerful actors like sen sharma and kabi have to do in the film . we could point out sohum shah and his handlebar moustache , both delivering an excellent performance as irrfan ' s sidekick . we could applaud irrfan for delivering a charismatic performance and note that he ' s starting to develop his very own stereotype of a smooth , sardonic gent who delivers cutting punchlines . ( let ' s hope we don ' t remember ashwin kumar while watching irrfan in jazbaa next week . ) we could include a little cheer for the excellence of indian theatre practice by pointing out just how brilliant atul kumar is as the nauseating paul .\n, which casts ranveer singh , deepika padukone and priyanka chopra in pivotal roles , won nine awards including the best film and the best director award .\nstory of a child prodigy \u201cduronto\u201d won best children\u2019s film , while actor gaurav menon took home the best child artist award for his performance in \u201cben\u201d .\nbhaskar hazarika\u2019s \u201ckothanodi\u201d won the best assamese film award , while veteran filmmaker gautam ghose\u2019s evocative story \u201cshankhachil\u201d took home the trophy for the best bengali movie .\nthe signs were all there since the film was struggling to get the momentum going in buzz and hype . thankfully , there was better awareness created around the release timing but that was never going to be sufficient for a horde of audiences to be stepping in right from the first show . that said , the film did see gradual increase in footfalls as the day progressed . since the film is a hardcore multiplex affair , it was always going to be evening and night shows that held the key . in that aspect , the nishikant kamat directed film could breathe better at least to some extent .\nhindi movie talvar story based on real double murder case happened in noida . konkana sen sharma and neeraj kabi are playing the role of 14 years old girl ( aarushi talwar ) parents . irrfan khan is also playing a honest police officer role in the film . in real aarushi talwar and her servent ( hemraj banjade ) killed in nodia at their residence in may , 2008\ntalvar\u2019s director meghna gulzar , who , has to her credit of having directed films like filhaal , just married and dus kahaniyan tries her hand in the hard - hitting genre too \u2013 with good results .

( excerpt )\nif there are no tense aspects with other planets in your chart , this configuration suggests that you are prone , pierre mondy , to create a link between your career and the sentimental area , even though it may come under various guises : you may be in favour with women . . .

( excerpt )\nentertainments , hobbies and parties , love affairs , holidays , here are the areas where you express best your emotions , pierre mondy . you like children ' s company , your popularity is often good and you use it in order to increase the number of your encounters in order to see your seductive . . . ( excerpt )\nmr . bonaparte , surprisingly , is played by a near unknown , pierre mondy , who may have come to the director ' s attention appearing in a remake of gance ' s la roue . while albert dieudonne in the silent had been boldly iconic with his angular features and tiny tim haircut , mondy is given a more rounded , human , and some how less interesting napoleon to play . the movie starts with a joke about his height , so we ' re definitely in a more populist mode .\ncheers for communication and mobility , pierre mondy ! the predominance of air signs in your chart favours and amplifies your taste for relations and for all kinds of short trips , whether real ( travels ) or symbolic ( new ideas , mind speculations ) . you gain in flexibility and adaptability what you lose in self - assertion or in pragmatism .\n\u201ca funny thing happened on the way to the forum , \u201d the long\u2010run musical based on the comedies by plautus , will open sept . 15 at the palais royale in paris . arthur lesser , ralph edwards and harold prince will co\u2010sponsor the french version . pierre mondy will play the role of pseudolus , the free\u2010wheeling roman slave in a translation by raymond castans .\nyour angular houses , namely , the 1st , 4th , 7th and 10th houses , are very emphasized in your chart , pierre mondy : according to the tradition , they are the strongest and most dynamic houses . should the rest of your chart concur , angular houses suggest that you are an enterprising , energetic and assertive man . indeed , angular houses are said to generate impulsions and to give a powerful and domineering personality .\nit ' s unfair of me , but i just can ' t get along with mondy ' s face . he has a big , soft forehead , bisected horizontally by a single deep crease , and with that tattered fringe pasted to his crown he looks like a man wearing a frankenstein monster headpiece . he ' s a decent actor , though . the trouble is , a young jean - pierre trintignant is also in the film as a minor functionary , and on the few occasions he ' s given anything to do , he fascinates in a way that mondy can ' t . and trintignant is quite a little chap . it was a missed opportunity .\nafter this paragraph about dominant planets , of pierre mondy , here are the character traits that you must read more carefully than the previous texts since they are very specific : the texts about dominant planets only give background information about the personality and remain quite general : they emphasize or , on the contrary , mitigate different particularities or facets of a personality . a human being is a complex whole and only bodies of texts can attempt to successfully figure out all the finer points .\nlike the majority of earth signs , pierre mondy , you are efficient , concrete and not too emotional . what matters to you is what you see : you judge the tree by its fruits . your ideas keep changing , words disappear , but actions and their consequences are visible and remain . express your sensitivity , even if it means revealing your vulnerability . emotions , energy and communication must not be neglected ; concrete action is meaningless if it is not justified by your heart , your intellect or your enthusiasm .\nthe fixed mode corresponds to a majority of elements in your chart , pierre mondy , and represents the desire for security and durability : you are able to concretely appreciate a situation and its stability . you definitely prefer to play the role of a loyal , obstinate and hard - working person , rather than to try new and risky experiences - beware , however , not to confuse obstinacy with intransigence . you structure , cement , and strengthen everything you find on your way : it is your nature , although you are not especially interested in swiftness : slow and steady . . .\nmondy directed four films and thirteen television episodes , and wrote two television screenplay adaptions . he also directed over 60 theatre productions , many of them at the th\u00e9\u00e2tre du palais - royal in paris . in 1973 he directed the first production of la cage aux folles starring jean poiret and michel serrault .\npierre mondy , the diurnal south - eastern quadrant , consisting of the 10th , 11th and 12th houses , prevails in your chart : assertion and goals achievement are at the centre of your concerns . you are very keen to implement your dreams and your plans . you achieve your ambitions as soon as possible , whether through an active social life , highly charged friendly relations , or an urge to take actions in order to reap - in the eyes of the world , of course - the rewards of your dynamism . it is likely that spirituality or humanitarian actions are part of your motivations , sometimes at the price of some degree of isolation .\nyour sensitivity is dominated by your reason , pierre mondy , and you tend to analyze your emotional reactions in the slightest details , as if you wanted you hold them at bay so that they cannot overwhelm you or weaken you . your nature is anxious , shy , you do not like to be in the forefront and you lack self - confidence . you are extremely perfectionist , you need to examine , to organize and to plan everything according to your logic . you like to help and to feel that you are useful , in your own work or through your wise and clever advice . you may also be very demanding and critical , even unbearable , because you are insistent and you find fault in everything . learn to gain some self - confidence and do not constantly be ready to criticize . . .\nin love , you are more cerebral and friendly than really passionate , pierre mondy . you are made for amorous friendships , for refined and light feelings where each partner retains one ' s freedom , and almost detachment , without getting really committed . sometimes , you may be distant from , and indifferent to , love matters for a while , because you can be completely engrossed in original intellectual pursuits and the collective atmosphere which you are so fond of . you substitute a great number of friendly and light contacts to amorous relationships and it is fair to say that they satisfy you . to fall in love , you need spice and a partner who is original , who amazes you and whom you admire ; under such conditions , you can freely express your feelings in an ambiance devoid of constraint , where freedom is perfectly respected and shared within the couple .\npierre mondy , the way you take action gains in power and in precision what it loses in rapidity and spontaneity . you are \u201cslow\u201d , certainly . but when you get started , you put all your ingenuity and your persistence into it and you love to see a job well done . at the end of the day , owing to your ways , you are the winner . in your sex life , similarly , you are generous and instinctive and your slowness is not an obstacle . it may even bring fulfilment to you , but above all , to your partner ! in love , as well as in your exchanges in general , you tend to keep your worries to yourself because you are extremely patient ; you don ' t say anything , you stand all the hits and one day , you explode into outbursts of anger that are as violent as they are rare , thanks god .\nyou are a \u201cfree - thinker\u201d , pierre mondy , and you tackle problems with a swift and efficient mind . freedom , progress and originality are your driving forces . you are resolutely future - oriented and with ingenuity and inventiveness , you reform what is outgrown and you constantly innovate : psychology , computer sciences , new technologies . . . have almost no secret for you . your human and idealist qualities are obvious , you are a very pleasant and interesting interlocutor , even though your rebellious and revolutionary side may be criticized . indeed , you seem to be driven by a strong argumentativeness : you seldom share your friends ' views and , although you may come across as obstinate , intransigent and unpleasant , you do not hesitate to speak the truth ! instead of causing sudden break - ups with your friends , it is advisable that you express your creative potential more persistently whenever your nervous tension is too high .\nactor . born pierre cuq , he began his career in 1949 and participated in more than 140 films . he was recognized internationally for his role of napoleon bonaparte in the film\nausterlitz\ndirected by abel gance in 1960 . in 1970 , his most successful film was the trilogy\nthe 7th company\n. from 1992 to 2005 he starred the series\nles cordier , juge et flic\nin the role of ' commissaire cordier ' . he was one of the most important french stage directors between 1960 and 2000 , and also directed four movies and several television series .\nyour life path is influenced by the number 2 , pierre , which brings about a life marked by cooperation and team spirit . the activities which suit you best are related to conciliation or mediation . you must develop your social reinsertion abilities , and rely on specialised associations in order to achieve the course of your life . you are far from being a loner , and you try to have the best people in your entourage because you know that union means strength . this is also how you choose your colleagues . on the professional plane , you are the perfect partner , capable of taking into account each and everyone ' s specificities , and of fitting nicely into a team . however , you still need to increase the sense of initiative which you sometimes lack , because your shyness , added to your naivety , may prevent you from getting off the beaten path and encourage you to remain content with what you have already acquired . in many circumstances , one can only rely on oneself ! in order to achieve your projects and your ambitions , you must strike a good balance between association and personal determination .\nsardou is known not only for his love songs (\nla maladie d ' amour\n,\nje vais t ' aimer\n) , but also for songs dealing with various social and political issues , such as the rights of women in islamic countries (\nmusulmanes\n) , clerical celibacy (\nle cur\u00e9\n) , colonialism (\nle temps des colonies\n,\nils ont le p\u00e9trole mais c ' est tout\n) or the death penalty (\nje suis pour\n) . another sometimes controversial theme found in some of his songs (\nles ricains\nand\nmonsieur le pr\u00e9sident de france\nfor example ) is his respect and support for the culture and foreign policies of the united states of america . he has been accused of being a racist due to his 1976 song\nle temps des colonies\n, where he sang positively about colonialism and slavery , but sardou has always claimed the song was sarcastic . [ 1 ] his 1981 single\nles lacs du connemara\nwas an international hit ( especially in the netherlands ) . a number of his hit songs were written in collaboration with jacques revaux and pierre delano\u00eb , a few others ( most notably\nen chantant\n) with italian singer toto cutugno .\ni got an official e -

one - year - old director whose best work , by universal consensus , was in the silent era ; it ' s a kind of belated sequel , the further adventures of napoleon bonaparte ; it ' s a salkind production .\nincidentally , viewing the lavish sets for this movie , we can see how the salkinds , those roving multinational mountebanks , ran up the unpaid studio bills in yugoslavia which kept orson welles from building the elaborate vanishing sets he had planned for the trial ( starting realistic , it would have ended up playing in a featureless void ) , necessitating the repurposing of a disused parisian railway station . and here ' s orson himself , in false nose and false , dubbed voice , playing for once an unassuming , rather apologetic character , trying to sell a prototype submarine to the emperor . weirdly , fourteen years later another salkind feature , the four musketeers , would feature another unsuccessful submarine salesman , trying to flog a submersible to the duke of buckingham .\nausterlitz certainly isn ' t the experimental masterpiece napoleon is : a 1960 movie made in the style of the twenties would have looked radical , but this is mostly staged like a forties film . gance had been a somewhat plodding , creaky filmmaker for some years now , his work varying between stilted in an early talkie way and fluid but unadventurous in a forties way . but his cinematographer is the great henri alekan ( la belle et la b\u00eate ) and so there are moments . . . when josephine ( martine carol , oph\u00fcls ' reluctant choice for lola montes ) draws a diaphanous curtain , unnatural filtered lighting tints it different hues , stretching across the dyaliscope frame in a manner that harkens back to the tricolor triptych of napoleon , in which three separate screens were tinted to match the colors of french flag ( in itself , an appallingly vulgar conceit , you would think , only pulled off with such shameless brio that it dazzles and awes ) .\ngance shows napoleon cheating on josephine with claudia cardinale and leslie caron , flirting with nelly kaplan ( also gance ' s co - writer , second unit director and documentarist , above ) and throws in brief bits of a more platonic nature with vittorio de sica ( the pope ) , rossano brazzi , jack palance and jean marais . grizzled old michel simon turns up , and you wouldn ' t think anybody could upstage him , but the duck in his backpack manages just that , by staring directly into the lens with a serene air of superiority to its surroundings . there are scenes in england , where everybody speaks actual english but some have ludicrous french accents . but what ' s devastating is the concentration on interiors .\nthe entire first half of the film transpires indoors , apart from a few moments outside the french windows at night , clearly shot in a studio . these boudoirs and thronerooms and ballrooms are all vast , so we can ' t say it ' s claustrophobic exactly , nor is it cheap - looking , but it ' s definitely rather airless .\nonce we hit the battlefield , the blast of reality is invigorating , but for some reason gance keeps cross - cutting between real exteriors and studio reconstructions . napoleon even manages to walk from one to the other in a single scene , despite the shortness of his legs .\nwith a cast of hundreds rather than thousands , there was no way gance could have equalled the spectacle of his first foray into history , though more dynamic technique would certainly have helped . the lumbering quality of so many widescreen epics of the fifties and sixties descends upon the croatian battlefield . the trouble is , gance doesn ' t have the budget to return to his former triumph or compete with bondarchuk ' s astonishing waterloo ( 1970 ) , with its 60 , 000 extras played by the russian army , and he doesn ' t have the invention born of desperation of welles making chimes at midnight , conjuring an apocalyptic battle with handheld close - ups . he does briefly detach his camera from its tripod , and the effect , juxtaposed with the stodgy sound - stage reenactments , is immediately thrilling , but moments later we ' re back to standard locked - off panoramas .\nat the end , the film does managed one of its periodic grace notes , in which napoleon quite legitimately cements his place in history with dialogue predicting the arc de triomphe and his statue in the place vendome , to be made from the melted enemy cannons .\nthough this often feels like a last gasp , gance would actually return to the subject with napoleon and the revolution , a tv series in 1972 , so that this is merely a single exhalation from a filmmaker who lived and breathed napoleonically .\nbritish director william oldroyd ' s debut film is an unequivocal heir to shakespeare\u2019s canonical work .\nvittorio de sica , sophia loren , and marcello mastroianni : a cinematic trio made in heaven .\nin fritz lang\u2019s masterpiece it is never simply a matter of characters seeing , it ' s a matter of understanding what they ' re seeing .\n20th century women\nis personal\u2014and for the director , semi -

moving planets .\nit ' s element is fire ; it is hot and dry , it governs leo , is in exaltation in aries and is in analogy with the heart . it represents the boss , authority , beside the father and the husband ; the age of the sun goes from 20 years old to about 40 , following the venus age when one is aware of his seductive power .\nanything of the human order is of concern to you . your ideal is universal fraternity . your humanitarian mind sensitizes you to societal projects and to other people\u2019s torments . you are credited with the spirit of a st bernard ! you are sociable in spite of your intransigence and you offer your affectivity to the human race . your concepts are liberal and original . you are interested in new ideas and in daring innovations\u2026 aquarius lives for the future . tomorrow is another day ! you are never completely demoralized , as you know that each enterprise is constantly evolving and each project is perfectible . you dream of a better world and you do not hide your tastes for avant - gardist conceptions . resolutely innovative , you show your worth when things are not yet fixed , when everything is potentially open . you may be intransigent although you are human in most circumstances , and you cultivate the taste for unprecedented situations . your strength is that of all idealists : faith can move mountains of uncertainties , pessimism and inertia . yesterday\u2019s sullenness is swept clean ! everything remains to be reinvented and nothing is forever totally closed or stiff . a lack of pragmatism may prod you to take up lost causes . but aren\u2019t they the most noble ones ?\nwith the sun in the 11th house of your natal chart , you are able to recreate the world , provided that you can rely on loyal friends . your idealism prompts you to give of your best to great causes , and to believe in the virtues of friendship , dedication , and universal love . so many disillusions lie ahead of you ! but also so many hopes and so many moments of exaltation ! in some way , you feel that your mission is to change other people ' s life in order to enliven them and to restore hope . friendship rules !\nif the sun is part of your natal chart ' s planetary dominants , in astrology , you are said to be a solarian : you loathe pettiness and machiavellian manoeuvre , and you are fond of natural nobleness as well as of direct and honest attitudes . you endeavour to get out of muddled or dark situations as quickly as possible . your need for transparency may lead you to make cut - and - dried judgments such as yes or no , and black or white . however , your honesty commands your entourage ' s consideration . at times , you come across as authoritarian . it is true that you never want to be thought of the notable absentee , and that you manage to make people pay attention to you , as well as to your plans and your assessments . to this end , the solarian sometimes develops a great talent for placing himself under the spotlight without missing a single opportunity to arouse interest . some other solarians , although more discreet , still manage to be the focus of any debate , even in situations of exclusion . it is your way of being present even though you are actually not there . . . more than other people , you appreciate the esteem extended to you . it is useless to cheat with you , since in all areas you consider establishing enduring relationships only with those who love you , admire you , respect you , or express some degree of affection to you . your will to straighten out your inter - personal relationships is your strength and sometimes , your achilles ' heel . you cannot achieve anything behind the scenes . therefore , your comportment is marked with heroism , and your stands are devoid of ambiguity , in the sense that your commitments are unfailing , and your rebuffs , final ."]}

jung\u2019s street stall , it displays little urgency . thus , vive l\u2019amour is very much an art film , providing little for entertainment but much for contemplation .\n1 . editor ' s note : tsai ' s most recent film , the river ( he liu , 1997 ) , which forms a loose trilogy with rebels of the neon god and vive l ' amour , won the silver bear prize at the 47th berlin in 1997 .\ni ' ve seen a few ming - liang films , but so far vive l ' amour ( which translates to\nlong live love\n) is his best . it ' s a meditative exploration of urban malaise that is more interested in one ' s silences than one ' s communication , and what those silences mean .\ni used viva l ' amour to help me plan and achieve the most romantic evening of my life at escambr\u00f3n beach with the purpose of popping the question . my new fiancee was so surprised and excited that she thought she was dreaming . vival ' amour helped me design the perfect moment and not only did what i wanted , but also added an extra touch of romantism to the event .\ni now wish that i had seen vive l\u2019amour before watching the hole , tsai\u2019s most recent release . for whatever reason , i lacked patience for , and interest in , that film . but i now see the end of the hole \u2014 when one of the two main characters quite literally reaches out to the other \u2014 as a moving portent of optimism and human triumph . quite a step beyond may lin\u2019s endless tears .\ni\u2019ve always seen taipei as a city of togetherness . to me , it is an abode of extended family , a lively retreat from the banality of suburban california , and place for holidays and discovery . stifling humidity aside , taipei occupies a relatively positive and nostalgic place in my heart . tsai ming - liang\u2019s 1994 film vive l\u2019amour does not share my perspective . to say the least , its taipei is a horribly lonely place .\nun potentiel inexploit\u00e9 , ce sera l ' adjectif le plus r\u00e9curent pour parler de aiq ing wan sui , titre original qui sera d\u00e9clin\u00e9 en\nvive l ' amour\nlors de sa sortie internationale . le pitch avait tout pour plaire : 3 \u00e2mes solitaires se rencontrant dans un appartement mis \u00e0 la vente . or les interpr\u00e9tations ( mention sp\u00e9ciale \u00e0 yang kuei -

jung , ah - jung ends up stealing another key and using the apartment for his own purposes , and hsiao - kang hides under the bed when the couple are going at it . furthermore , their activities in the apartment bring only temporary release at best . in the end , all three are still alone , marooned within taipei\u2019s urban desert .\nvive l\u2019amour ends with two stunning sequences . in the penultimate scene , hsiao - kang ( lee kang - sheng ) , a closeted and suicidal young man , crawls into bed with ah - jung ( chen chao - jung ) , an acquaintance who is sleeping soundly . tsai\u2019s camera lingers on the two men for several minutes , allowing us to watch \u2014 trapped in a moment of almost hitchcockian suspense \u2014 as hsiao - kang leans closer and closer , finally kissing the other man on the mouth without waking him . it\u2019s a remarkable performance . lee\u2019s face is written with conflicted emotion : curiosity , terror , longing , shame , joy .\nif and when the macrons win \u2014 he has made it clear it will be their joint win \u2014 one can expect a return to real l\u2019amour in france , even if it is deemed awfully old -

in . many other studio couldn ' t commit to that . although there were some hipcups with the video on my weddingday , but thankfully the team managed to rush it out after our 2nd march - in eventually . they were very commited during the filming ( even drones were involved which we were very impressed with ) . many of our relatives & friends comment that our video was very unique & different from the usual . me & my husband was truely satisfied with the video & the team . i ' ll definitely recommend vive lamour to all the wedding couples out there .\nthe film focuses on three city folks who unknowingly share the same apartment : mei , a real estate agent who uses it for her sexual affairs ; ah -

exist in the apartment without confronting one another . on one occasion , hsiao - kang , to avoid being discovered , hides under a bed on which mei - mei and ah - jung make love . a situation that would normally be played as a bedroom farce is treated instead as a portrait of erotic angst , with overtones of\nno exit .\nfor when hsiao - kang eventually meets ah - jung , he falls secretly in love with him .\nboth the director and his characters are obsessed with the glossier surfaces of modern life . in this languidly paced film , the camera lingers on the apartment ' s spare , immaculate interiors as intently as on the characters ' grooming habits . one of the apartment ' s attractions is a whirlpool bath in which the characters luxuriously immerse themselves . but as the film makes graphically clear , solitary sensual gratification is no palliative for an underlying sense of emptiness . no sooner has hsiao - kang finished his bath than he slashes his wrist in a half - hearted suicide attempt .\nin crucial ways , all three characters are not what they seem . ah - jung tells mei - mei that he works\nin imports and exports ,\nwhich seems like stretching things for an unlicensed street peddler who has to hide from the police . hsiao - kang , when alone , acts out an elaborate autoerotic fantasy of himself as a woman . mei - mei , who seems crisp and tough throughout most of the film , is ultimately revealed to be seriously depressed .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt -

year - old student in a conservative jesuit school , where she , a much - married teacher , took classes in latin , french and theatre . her daughter was exactly emmanuel\u2019s age and shared a classroom with the schoolmate who would one day become her stepfather . love bloomed when he was playing the lead role in a milan kundera play and the pupil - teacher spent hours together . according to brigitte , she tried to discourage her desperately young and very ardent suitor by getting him to change schools . but at 17 , he declared he would eventually marry her , no matter what !\nand that\u2019s exactly what happened in 2007 , when they exchanged vows , after brigitte obtained a divorce from andre louis auziere , her banker husband ( and father of their three children ) . during his wedding speech , macron thanked her children for \u201cloving us as we are . \u201d and he told the love of his life , \u201cwe\u2019re going to shut people up . \u201d well , they almost succeeded . today , their relationship has become an issue for political watchers , who are strenuously trying to pick holes in it . critics have suggested macron shares a gay relationship with mattieu gallet , a high - profile radio journalist . but brigitte\u2019s youngest daughter ( 31 ) staunchly declares she has yet to meet a \u201chappier couple\u201d than her mother and stepdad . c\u2019est la vie !\nthe interesting aspect of their unusual love story is the emphasis placed on the age difference , and little else . never mind that another president across the atlantic is also married to someone 24 years his junior . donald trump is 70 , melania is 46 . men who marry women young enough to be their daughters are admired for their virility and power . it doesn\u2019t quite work the other way around . brigitte is a grandmother of seven . macron visits his step - grandchildren regularly . brigitte\u2019s son sebastien is two years older than him .\namusingly enough , the trogneux ( brigitte\u2019s maternal side ) family are famed chocolatiers specialising in macrons\u2026 the jokes never end . despite the taunts , brigitte says , \u201clove carries everything with it . \u201d the french are more used to philandering presidents and don\u2019t quite know what to make of this monogamous couple . hollande of the scooter helmet fame ( he was caught visiting a movie star , hiding behind it ) broke off with valerie trierweiler , his live - in ladyfriend at the elysee after the scandal broke , and promptly reinstated his ex , segolene royal ( mother of his four children ) , in the cabinet . if that sounds complicated and exhausting , hollande\u2019s predecessors jacques chirac and francois mitterand upheld french tradition and honour by not bothering to hide their mistresses or liaisons . hollande\u2019s predilections earned him the respectful nickname \u2018mr normal\u2019 .\nit is inspiring and reassuring in our cynical and blas\u00e9 times , to celebrate the macrons and what they share as equal and loving partners . their age difference is a non - issue . macron , a political newbie , is expected to use his formidable intellect and experience as a banker to provide a fresh direction to his country with en marche ! \u2014 a new centre - left party that believes in a more inclusive france and a strong eu . angela merkel\u2019s spokesperson has already hailed his expected victory , as has european commission\u2019s chief . it is only le pen\u2019s sour supporters who have dissed him for what they dub his \u2018bling - bling biz\u2019 attitude . we\u2019ll know soon enough who the french want as president . but for me , he has already won the title of \u2018president of hearts\u2019 for his daring \u2018pyar kiya toh darna kya\u2019 beliefs .\none of india ' s most popular writers , shobhaa de has seen it all : life as a model , a copywriter , a journalist , a socialite , a scriptwriter , a bestselling novelist and a busy mother of six children .\npolitically incorrect\n, which has been appearing as a column in the times of india , carries her sharp observations on politics , society , economy and relationships .\none of india ' s most popular writers , shobhaa de has seen it all : life as a model , a copywriter , a journalist , a socialite , a scriptwriter , a bestselling nov . . .\nnow imagine , a married male teacher \\ & quot ; spending hours \\ & quot ; with a 17 year old girl . a man whose son is in the same class as this girl . h . . .\nno one cares for this foreign payroll stooge . too ugly to look at even .\nif this is the best journalism india has to offer we are all going to hell in a handcart .\nmsp hike is a big blunder . farmers are producers , not objects of charity\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved . for reprint rights : times syndication service\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\na rollicking arrangement that boys will love . the ranges suit a junior high choir , but other age groups will also enjoy this arrangement .\nbak middle school of the arts boys choir west palm beach , fl . , d . shawn berry , conductor [ \u00a9 all rights reserved ]\nall scores , recordings and materials on sbmp . com are protected by copyright -

gavras must have considered it a political film , eszterhas undoubtedly saw it as a thriller , and winger and berenger , to give them full credit , interpret it as the complicated human stories of their characters . that\u2019s why the film creates its turmoil ; in the center of confusion , sloppy plot developments and the conflicting motivations of the filmmakers , there are two performances of such power that the characters become real , and sympathetic , despite everything .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\ncosta - gavras ' most recent film , la petite apocalypse ( the minor apocalypse ) , is a decidedly minor affair , a satire of 1960s radicals , capitalist greed , the demise of communism , and an overzealous media . it premiered in new york in 1995 not on a theatrical run , but as the opening film in the sixth annual human rights watch international film festival .\nanother well spent 25 cents . this film is about racism , conspiracy , fbi undercover , etc etc . really well done film from the 80s . nothing i ' ll go out of my to buy on dvd but thankful i got to see it .\nbombastic and simple - minded , costa - gavras ` ` ` betrayed ` ` demonstrates why it ` s often more damaging to make a poor political film than it is to make no film at all . the director of ` ` z , ` ` ` ` state of siege ` ` and ` ` missing ` ` has here turned his attention to white supremacist groups lurking in america ` s heartland , but his vision is clouded by such feverish paranoia that he ends by giving these sad little groups of sad little people much more credit than they deserve .\n( 1988 ) a woman ( debra winger ) starts working on gary\u2019s ( tom berenger ) farm . they become friends and fall in love . the problem is that gary is an anti - government white separatist . little does gary know that the woman he has fallen in love with is hiding a past also . debra winger gives another superb performance and has great chemistry with berenger . the plot is a little thing , but winger makes this film worth watching . my rating : bargain matinee\nthe film debuted at # 2 at the box office , earning $ 5 , 534 , 787 and coming in behind the second weekend of a nightmare on elm street 4 : the dream master . the film would go on to gross $ 25 , 816 , 139 in the united states .\nbetrayed is ultimately an outsider ' s view of the american heartland and the vietnam veteran . while gary and his ilk objectify blacks , jews , asians , and gays , costa - gavras and screenwriter joe eszterhaus are equally as guilty of objectifying white midwesterners . the film would lead you to believe that every last american farmer is a closet cross - burner . and gary simmons , a psycho in sheep ' s clothing , is yet one more superficial celluloid vietnam veteran .\nandy warhol began to make films in 1963 , the year zapruder shot kennedy on film . warhol\u2019s own five year plan for film was completed in 1968 when he himself was shot by a woman who had acted in his films . warhol survived all the shooting , but he is now permanently dead .\nwood , m . ,\nin search of the missing ,\nin american film ( washington , d . c . ) , march 1982 .\n\u201cbetrayed\u201d is a film that left me in turmoil , torn between the strong sympathies i felt for the characters and the fundamental doubts i had about the plot . here were people i believed in , involved in a story that no one could believe in . and that kind of conflict raises basic questions , such as : how could the characters themselves , who seem so intelligent , believe their own story ? that\u2019s the trickiest thing about creating movie characters who can think for themselves .\nset in iowa , betrayed stars debra winger as an fbi agent who infiltrates a klanlike white supremacist organization . allegedly a woman of intelligence and perception , winger throws caution and logic to the winds when she falls in love with local farmer tom berenger . much to her surprise berenger turns out to be the most rabid racist of all .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\ncumbow , robert c . order in the universe : the film of john carpenter . lanham : scarecrow press , inc . ; second edition , 2000 .\nso far , this is the only pixar film released before disney purchased it that has neither received a sequel or prequel , nor has had one announced .\nfini les \u00e9migr\u00e9s ,\nan interview with freddy sartor , in film en televisie + video ( brussels ) , no . 432 , may 1993 .\nfor the same reason that a scientist who is also a believer is drawn to address apparent conflicts between science and faith . the last temptation of christ , an ambitious film from a director of significant stature , based upon a serious novel by a talented writer , met with widespread acclaim and praise among film critics , yet drew enormous negative attention in many religious circles , often from people who hadn\u2019t seen the film and were not in a position to frame their objections critically .\nmathijs , ernest , and xavier mendik , editors . the cult film reader . new york : open university press , 2008 , pp . xvii -

made , atmospheric murder mystery , while clair de femme is the dreary tale of a widower and a woman scarred by the death of her young daughter . both of these films star yves montand . but while costa - gavras ' s most characteristic works do indeed condemn governments that control other governments or suppress human rights , his concerns as a filmmaker have perhaps shifted towards the more personal . the two features made with scriptwriter joe eszterhaus , betrayed and music box , focused on the relationship between the central female character and a man ( a lover in betrayed , a father in music box ) who is subsequently revealed as a fascist .\nthe film opens with a disclaimer stating that the film is\nnot based on the gospels ,\nbut upon the novel by nikos kazantzakis ( a moot point , since the novel itself is based , however distantly , on the gospels ) . kazantzakis\u2019s novel is a speculative exploration of the concept of christ\u2019s dual nature , focusing particularly on his humanity .\ni\u2019m fascinated by your interpretation of the last temptation of christ . whilst recognising the sometimes blasphemous nature of the film , i can\u2019t help but think you are somewhat wrong about judas .\nthis is certainly a fascinating thriller . it certainly lacks the brilliance in terms of fresh and inventive storytelling of missing and the confession . however , it is as intense as both of them . joe esterzhas the writer of paul verhoeven ' s basic instinct is the writer for this film , his style of screenwriting seems to suite costa - gavras ' s direction . what is most frustrating about this film is the ending as well as the 35 minutes after the brilliant opening of the film . regardless of that the film has a portrayal of neo - nazis that is frightening and fresh to this day . to see how behind this wholesome , midwestern family image are violent murderers , as well as an organized schooling and indoctrination of young children\u2026\nthis is essentially the same dilemma that eszterhas created for glenn close in \u201cjagged edge . \u201d can she trust the man she loves , or is he , as all evidence seems to indicate , a two - faced killer ? in that film , the audience did not know the answer until the last moment , but in \u201cbetrayed\u201d the answer is obvious from fairly early on ( even the title is a giveaway ) . the thriller doesn\u2019t hinge on berenger\u2019s behavior , but on how winger will save herself from almost certain exposure . and as that level of the plot unfolded , i began to have problems .\nhad a mixed critical reaction when it initially appeared . in his movie guide , leonard maltin gives the film a low one -

dated russ meyer / grindhouse red - necks , while the film itself wanted to be taken seriously as a prestigious oscar - contender , with real hollywood actors , and a classy director in costa - gravas .\n' ' betrayed , ' ' which opens today at the embassy 1 and other theaters , is indeed grim and unsettling , but beyond that its impact is harder to assess . that ' s because the film ' s effect , which is initially so overwhelming , has practically no staying power . though the premise is startling and the acting good enough to divert attention from the screenplay ' s many problems , those weaknesses become clearer and clearer as the story unfolds . the final impression is that someone has drawn out an elephant gun , loaded heavy ammunition , taken aim , and somehow shot himself in the foot .\ni know that there are right - wing paramilitary groups in america . i know that members of one of them were recently convicted of the murder of alan berg , the liberal denver talk show host whose murder inspired this story . i didn\u2019t question that level of the story . and even when \u201cbetrayed\u201d went out of its way to exaggerate the contradictions in the berenger character , i accepted that as part of the job of thrillermaking .\nthis was the third film in universal ' s blockbuster series of pre - code horror films in the early 30s - it was suggested by edgar allan poe ' s classic tale of the same name .\na bug ' s life is pixar ' s second feature film . it was produced by pixar animation studios and distributed by walt disney pictures . it was released in theaters on november 25 , 1998 .\nfilm is the most modern of the arts . its powers and structure have served as a paradigm for the arts of the twentieth century , from balla\u2019s strolling dog to duchamp\u2019s descending nude . film was fated to play a central role for modernist utopians from lenin to goebbels , from eisenstein to riefenstahl . for the first half of the twentieth century it represented something more than the degree zero of technology , it projected the fundamental myths of the new metropolis , resolving their complexities in chaplin\u2019s sentimental \u201cthe end\u201d or vertov\u2019s reflexive \u201ckinets . \u201d 1 as we have passed beyond modernism , film has become the victim of its own paradigmatic modernity .\nthe \u201cnew talkie\u201d proudly traces its paternity to godard ; in so doing it betrays its ignorance of godard\u2019s own questionable origins . praise among english and american academics ( e . g . wollen ) for godard\u2019s bourgeois sunday - maoist recuperation of the formal devices of situationist film has been possible , first , because it coincides with the impostures of those academicians and , second , because situationist film remains virtually unknown outside of paris .\ndirector costa - gavras has always been drawn to incendiary political subjects , but in\nbetrayed\n( citywide ) , which is about the white supremacist movement in the american heartland , he has apparently trusted the instincts of his american screenwriter and co - producer joe eszterhas (\nf . i . s . t . ,\nflashdance\n) . the result is a loosening of the trademark costa - gavras tension and the sogging of a relevant issue into overwrought pulp .\nit ' s a terrifying film , but i found it almost impossible to believe that berenger ' s character could be fooled by winger ' s taciturn , shifty - eyed undercover lover . no offense to the fine actors .\nset in the american midwest , the film begins with the murder of a jewish radio host in chicago . fbi undercover agent catherine weaver , alias katie phillips , sets out to infiltrate a farming community , suspected of harboring those responsible .\ngoebbels on potemkin : \u201cit is a marvelously well - made film , and one which reveals incomparable cinematic artistry . its uniquely distinctive quality is the line it takes . this is a film , which could turn anyone with no firm ideological convictions into a bolshevik . which means that a work of art can very well accommodate a political alignment , and that even the most obnoxious attitude can be communicated if it is expressed through the medium of an outstanding work of art . \u201d\n' ' betrayed ' ' begins on a chilling note , with the murder of a talk - show host in chicago . ( here and elsewhere , the film falls back eagerly on real headlines to strengthen its impact ; the reference to the 1984 killing of alan berg in denver is clear . ) richard libertini , who makes a memorable impression as the hatred - fanning host in this brief sequence , avows that it ' s all right to ' ' let people say what they want , as ugly as it may be , ' ' and indeed his call - in guests do exactly that . but the last look on his face , as he realizes he is caught in a deadly ambush , is far more eloquent in suggesting the terrible consequences of encouraging people to do their worst .\na film is like a match : you can make a big fire or nothing at all ,\nan interview with h . kalishman and gary crowdus , in cineaste ( new york ) , vol . 6 , no . 1 , 1973 .\nthe film opens as sam kraus , a chicago radio shock jock , challenges any anti - semite to call him on the phone . after his broadcast , kraus is shot while approaching his car in a parking garage . the killer then spray paints the letters\nthis great raymond chandler detective thriller from director edward dmytryk , was a hard - boiled tale - a superb , complex , shadowy film noir of murder , corruption , blackmail , double - cross and double identity , with witty dialogue and cynical voice - over narration .\nin\nbetrayed ,\nnone of its actors ' notable efforts can save the farm . the most diligent effort comes from debra winger , in a loose reprise of ingrid bergman ' s character in\nnotorious ,\nan fbi plant sent into dangerous territory . here she is supposed to follow fbi agent john heard ' s hunch about the assassination of a left - leaning chicago talk show host ( a fine bit by richard libertini ) . the letters z . o . g . at the scene of the killing make heard believe that a specific supremacist group may be behind it .\nthere is meant to be something daring in the film ` s romantic subplot - in the suggestion that fascism and fanaticism can be attractive . it ` s a phenomenon that is regrettably well documented , though the film is careful to protect its heroine . rather than put cathy to any real test , costa - gavras insists that it was only gary ` s norman rockwell - ish glow that drew her to him ; his dark side had nothing to do with it . honest , she didn ` t even notice that he was completely insane .\nyet , for me at least , the last temptation of christ is a complete wash . not because of a directorial failure on scorsese\u2019s part , but simply because no director in the world could possibly make this material into a film worth sitting through for its own sake .\nthe climax of this dramatic mystery film from director clint eastwood was the resolution of the central murder case - the murder of 19 year old katie markum ( emmy rossum ) . the main plot was very similar to amc ' s episodic murder mystery the killing ( 2011 - 2014 ) .\nkeith sanborn is a media artist and theorist . his work has been featured at the whitney biennial , rotterdam international film festival , and centre pompidou , among many other venues . he has translated into english the work of guy debord , ren\u00e9 vi\u00e9net , gil wolman , georges bataille and napoleon .\nfamed belgian detective hercule poirot ( albert finney ) delivered his sleuthing findings at the film ' s end to the assembled group of suspects aboard the orient express , snowbound between istanbul and paris . his conclusion about the murder of callous , millionaire american businessman mr . rachett ( richard widmark ) was :\nneither side has much use for the other\u2019s opinion . yet i have one foot in each camp \u2014 indeed , both feet in both camps , since i write film criticism informed by faith , rather than compartmentalizing or partitioning my beliefs when i review a film . in a case like this , where critical thought and religious opinion seem irreconcilable , i feel it is necessary to offer a response that is both critically responsible and spiritually sound \u2014 if only to satisfy myself ( if no one else ) that such a response is indeed possible ; that critical perspective and orthodox judgment are not somehow exclusive .\nthe film - maker sees himself in elias .\nhe ' s discovering everything ,\ngavras says .\nhe can ' t speak the language to ask questions . it ' s like a silent movie .\nhe likens the film ' s gentle irony to that of jacques tati - though with an undercurrent of fear .\nelias is used - as most illegals are . he ' s handsome , so he ' s used sexually . underneath , it ' s a serious drama .\nyet there is optimism .\neven elias resists fate - the fate of where he was born .\nlast temptation goes way over that line . poisonous morally and spiritually , it is also worthless as art or entertainment , at least on any theory of art as an object of appreciation . as an artifact of technical achievement , it may be well made ; but as a film , it is devoid of redeeming merit .\nsitney has , since the writing of this text , rewritten visionary film several times and has significantly revised the films he has included and to some degree the logic of their inclusion . the current edition includes a significantly greater number of women than the edition in print at the time this text was written . [ \u21a9 ]\nthe death of the avant - garde coincides with the death of modernism . for film , that was sometime between 1973 and 1978 , at the latest , though the five year span a decade earlier suggests itself as well . unfortunately , it was only in 1987 that the voice of the critics began to register any notice .\nin 1988 , the cinematographe is not only an invention without a future , it is an invention without history . for when the cinematographe superceded its identity as a mechanical technology , history was superceded by what frampton called \u201cmetahistory . \u201d but in deploying \u201cmetahistory , \u201d we must keep in mind our position in the labyrinth of etymology : just as \u201cmetaphysics\u201d first meant \u201cthe works which follow the physics\u201d [ in the writings of aristotle ] , so \u201cmetahistory\u201d first means \u201cthe work which follows history . \u201d in the inevitable montage of temporal successivity , metahistory will necessarily be taken as commentary on that which came before , but it should not be assumed from the outset , that its ambition is to contain its object in succeeding it . it is a question of developing a strategy for comparing the incommensurable : what comes before and what comes after .\nbut \u201cbetrayed\u201d is not a love story . it is an undercover thriller , and we quickly learn that winger is an fbi agent and that berenger is suspected of being part of a secret right - wing terrorist organization that is responsible for the murder of a left - wing chicago talk show host . how can this be true ? how can this honest , open - faced farmer from a world of sunday church services and apple pie be a neo - nazi killer ? at first winger doesn\u2019t believe it , and she tells her fbi contacts that they are after the wrong man . but then , after she falls more deeply in love with berenger , he decides to trust her with his secrets . his first wife left because she could not endure his world of secret paranoia , but he realizes he must be honest with winger because he loves her . his desire to share his hidden life creates some of the weirdest scenes in the film , because there is such an ironic tension between the ultraright paramilitary organization he belongs to and the pop psychology of his language when he explains that they must be open with each other and share the things that are important .\nmarlowe was first engaged in a film - long quest - he had been hired by love - struck ex - con moose malloy ( mike mazurki ) to look for a mysterious velma valento , his missing ex - lover . velma had sold him out 8 years earlier for unknown reasons , although he still remembered her :\nshe was cute as lace pants .\nrally , gary shows remnants of his original feelings , such as when he lashes out at a neo - nazi selling photos of adolf hitler . ironically gary is infected with the same racist ideology as the nazi leader he despises . perhaps the most shocking moment in the film , however , is when katie first overhears innocent young rachel employ the same racist language as her father .\ni know that your review of scorsese\u2019s last temptation of christ is 7 years old , nonetheless i have one piece of what i hope is perceived as constructive criticism . this review is not a review of the film ( i . e . screenplay , direction , actors portrayals , cinematography ) . it is , quite frankly , a review of kazantzakis\u2019 book . you have reviewed and critiqued the main plot points that were created by kazantzakis almost 50 years ago . reviewing a movie such as this is like walking a tight rope to insure that you don\u2019t review the book . you never set foot on the tight rope , though , and instead fell to the ground , into the trap of a book review . what i was really hoping for was a film critique .\nnor is it only the portrayal of jesus himself that is antithetical to christian thought . virtually every characterization , every aspect of the film is deliberately iconoclastic , self - consciously contrary to traditional christian understanding , calculated for shock value . first and foremost is the reinterpretation of judas iscariot ( harvey keitel ) as a principled hero , a man who ultimately\nbetrays\njesus only because jesus orders him to do so over judas\u2019 own tortured objections . when faithful judas demands to know whether if jesus himself , were he in judas\u2019 place , would be able to betray a beloved master , jesus replies ( in a moment typical of the film\u2019s sensibilities ) ,\nno , i couldn\u2019t . that\u2019s why god gave me the easier job [ i . e . , dying on the cross ] .\nduring the question and answer period of a recent panel discussion in new york on the responsibility of representing the other , a white male european in the audience questioned what he saw as the hyperintellectuality of trinh t . min - ha\u2019s treatment of the africans she filmed in reassemblage . he especially objected to her voice - over commentary . he offered leni riefenstahl\u2019s book on a certain african people\u2014he couldn\u2019t remember their name but he said it didn\u2019t matter\u2014as a counterexample of a more direct , accessible practice . eye brows were raised and mouths opened by not a few members of the audience and of the panel . min - ha with some puzzlement admitted her film could be thought of as an \u201cart film\u201d in the context of ethnography , but had little to say about the alterative praxis offered by the example of riefenstahl\u2019s book .\nbut wait ! there\u2019s more ! in the best traditions of film - making , there needs to be a \u201ctwist , \u201d a logical proposal that\u2019s unexpected . and the final \u201ctemptation\u201d scenes provide that in droves . the \u201cdual - spirit\u201d of not only jesus but all of humanity is described and employed insomuch that the temptation - experience can be seen as both \u201cin the mind\u201d and \u201cin reality\u201d at the same time .\nby the film ' s exciting ending , mirakle had already committed four murders . he had sent erik to kidnap sweet ' virginal ' ingenue , mlle . camille l ' espanaye ( sidney fox ) , and in the process of abducting camille , her mother mme . l ' espanaye ( betty ross clarke ) was strangled and stuffed up the chimney by the ape , feet - first - a quite grisly sight .\naccording to box office mojo , a bug ' s life made $ 162 . 8 million in its u . s . theatrical run , easily covering its estimated production costs of $ 120 million . this made it the fourth highest grossing movie in 1998 . even so , it had been the lowest grossing pixar feature animated film , until the good dinosaur . its worldwide box office total was $ 363 . 4 million .\nbut the jesus of last temptation does all of the above things , and more . the film gives us a human jesus , but a jesus of fallible , fallen humanity \u2014 a jesus who could not be god . this is evident , not just in the sequences containing obvious blasphemy , such as the scene where jesus the carpenter explains that he makes crosses for the romans and helps crucify his fellow jews so that god will hate him and leave him alone ; or even in the scenes depicting jesus\u2019 persistent doubts and confusion about the nature of his identity and mission , or whether he is the messiah at all ; but everywhere you turn in the film . the fact is , willem dafoe\u2019s jesus has hardly a scene \u2014 hardly two lines of dialogue put together \u2014 in which the falseness of the character is not the dominant fact about him .\nschool daze represents the opposite side of the coin from jungle fever . jungle fever skirted needless controversy thanks to its brilliant construction , school daze invited criticism with its rough edges and incomplete vision . controversy without a clear statement is viewed , rightly or wrongly , as cage rattling for the sake of cage rattling . school daze was received as a film that thought it had a lot to say but ultimately didn & apos ; t .\ni find myself reflecting on the significance of the fact that this film represents the collaboration of a writer of greek orthodox heritage and a filmmaker of italian catholic background . only artists so steeped from childhood in the rich profundity of christian tradition could possibly create something so profoundly antithetical to that tradition , so deeply heretical and blasphemous . it could never have been made by an ordinary nonreligious or atheistic filmmaker , or even by a lapsed protestant .\na woman ( debra winger ) starts working on gary\u2019s ( tom berenger ) farm . they become friends and fall in love . the problem is that gary is an anti - government white separatist . little does gary know that the woman he has fallen in love with is hiding a past also . debra winger gives another superb performance and has great chemistry with berenger . the plot is a little thing , but winger makes this film worth watching . my rating : bargain matinee\nthroughout the movie judas acts almost as jesus\u2019 conscience . as the film opens we find judas patriotically upbraiding jesus for collaborating with rome by his cross - making . when jesus begins his ministry , judas follows him conditionally , warning him that if he betrays his mission judas will kill him . finally , in the climactic scene , it is a stern , prophetic judas ( or a dream - representation of him ) that recalls jesus to the necessity of his dying on the cross .\nit\u2019s quite true that a film can be morally or spiritually objectionable and still have significant artistic or entertainment value . that\u2019s the whole point of my specialized ratings system . i had grave moral objections to the cell , american beauty , and being john malkovich , but i gave them all high marks for artistic / entertainment value . whatever other faults these movies may have , each of them is in its own way interesting to watch . parts of them i might even want to see again .\nat the same time , i have no intention of trying to stake out some sort of middle ground or happy compromise between the critics\u2019 acclaim and the religionists\u2019 censure . my own finding is that one of the two sides is right , and the other is wrong . i will try to show in this essay which side went wrong , and how , and to explain it in a way that should make sense both to believers and to critics and film lovers , as well as those who , like myself , fall into both categories .\nalongside they live \u2019s classical western influences , carpenter draws from science - fiction of the 1950s . his use of black - and - white harkens back to the era of filmmaking to which carpenter pays homage , resulting in a film that , in its colorless scenes , appears very much like a classic sci - fi yarn ( most of the film\u2019s visual effects , such as the black - and - white billboards , were achieved with old - fashioned techniques such as matte paintings and stop - motion sequences ) . classical science - fiction tropes found alien intruders promising liberation through slavery . films such as it came from outer space , invaders from mars ( 1953 ) , invasion of the body snatchers ( 1956 , 1978 ) , and village of the damned ( 1960 , which carpenter remade in 1995 ) contain aliens that take over the minds of human beings and promise a better world through their control and the human race\u2019s subservience . aliens from the fifties were symbols for communist intruders who threatened america\u2019s sense of personal freedom and free enterprise capitalism that had come to define the country\u2019s values .\ntom berenger , as the forceful , widowered vietnam war veteran she takes up with , does the best he can with an even harder role - - the decent american with two young children to raise who has completely swallowed the line of the crackpot right . he has a less showy role than winger , but he gives it care and thought . so does betsy blair , a welcome figure as his protective mother , although her role is underwritten . but for all their efforts , the film begins at the implausible and works its way quickly downhill .\nall these considerations are a bit wild , but that is because they correspond to the unrestrained film buff that i am and have always wished to remain\u2014that is in a sense uncultured and fascinated . there is a kind of primal pleasure , of anthropological joy in images , a kind of brute fascination unencumbered by aesthetic , moral , social or political judgments . it is because of this that i suggest that they are immoral , and that their fundamental power lies in this immorality . \u201d ( the evil demon of images , pp . 26 - 27 . )\nit ' s not that the idea of broad - based right - wing political conspiracies is ridiculous ; a look at any documentary on these parties will dissuade you of that . it ' s the speed and the broadness of the film makers ' approach that is jarring . take that whirlwind meeting and love affair between berenger and winger - - why would this cautious church - goer , of all people , hit on an itinerant combine driver he has met in a bar , taking her home and making her part of his family within days of their meeting ?\nhowever , when passions run high enough , inevitably some readers make a litmus - test out of the critic\u2019s conclusions , too often in the process ignoring the actual substance of the review , the reasons given for those conclusions . in particular , a critic who faults a movie like the last temptation of christ can expect to be dismissed as a fundamentalist and accused of judging the film on doctrinaire grounds rather than approaching it aesthetically and on its own terms ; while a critic who defends it can expect to be dismissed as a modernist and accused of condoning blasphemy and heresy .\nonce again , there\u2019s nothing wrong with trying to humanize judas to an extent , or give him understandable motivations . the filmmaker can even make us empathize with him to the point of feeling that we too would be capable of doing what he did . but what he did , in the end , has to be wrong ; and keitel\u2019s judas never manifests anything like corruption , self - interest , or pettiness . jesus is the main character and protagonist here , but a case could be made that judas is the film\u2019s true hero , or at least its most idealized character .\nnow 76 , he is one of french cinema ' s most internationally feted writer - directors , having made some 20 films over 45 years . a student at the sorbonne in the 50s , he still lives in paris ' s latin quarter , in a pink house off a courtyard hidden behind the boulevard saint - michel , where his grandchildren play around him . he is a naturalised citizen , has a french knighthood and in 2007 became president of the cin\u00e9math\u00e8que fran\u00e7aise , one of the world ' s largest film archives , lavishly rehoused in a frank gehry building across the seine .\nthe film ended in the grayle beach house when helen admitted to marlowe that she fabricated the jade necklace robbery ( marlowe :\nit was never stolen ? there wasn ' t any holdup ? you faked the whole thing .\n) she also confessed that she and marriott had set up marlowe to be killed in the canyon , because he was a\nnosy detective\nand would interfere with her schemes . her intention was to kill both of them , but her stepdaughter ann grayle ( anne shirley ) had arrived at an inopportune moment , and she was only able to murder marriott .\nthere is also a very significant appearance by st . paul that occurs in a difficult , extended dreamlike sequence at the end of the film often been described as a vision or dream sequence . ( what follows is spoiler intensive . ) the sequence begins with jesus on the cross seemingly being approached by a young girl , who tells him that he has suffered enough ; that he has proven himself faithful , and doesn\u2019t actually have to die after all . ( she makes an interesting case for this , citing the precedent of abraham being told at the last minute not to sacrifice isaac on mount moriah . )\na bug ' s life was a much more complex film than toy story because of the more complex character models , so pixar ' s computers tended to run sluggishly for the animation process . the crowds of ants were particularly challenging , with some 400 crowd shots scattered throughout the film , with many requiring the animation of 800 characters . the technical team worked around this by instructing the animators to work with 4 or 5 groups of 8 to 10 ants . the software team wrote an\nant generator\nprogram that would duplicate the character models and motions of the ants , and then automatically and randomly adjust the character models of each ant to change physical traits such as eye and skin color , height , and weight . the ants were then randomly scattered throughout the shot . this allowed these shots to be animated much more efficiently and for ants to look different from one another , despite the fact that the programmed motions would be nearly identical . these tools were based on existing\nparticle systems\nthat allowed autonomous dust and snow , which would eventually be perfected to allow up to 2 million dust particles on wheezy ' s shelf in toy story 2 and 3 million hairs on sulley in monsters , inc .\nwhat bothered me were two other elements . one was the heavy - handed way in which the plot sets up winger for danger . an fbi man , played by john heard , becomes adept at being in the wrong place at the wrong time and acting carelessly . and the stupidity of his character would have been irritating even if the movie didn\u2019t also create an old romance between winger and heard so that jealousy could be added to police work . over and over , i found myself asking why the winger character , who is so intelligent , makes such stupid decisions in the film , inspiring her own betrayal .\nunder 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian 21 or older . the parent / guardian is required to stay with the child under 17 through the entire movie , even if the parent gives the child / teenager permission to see the film alone . these films may contain strong profanity , graphic sexuality , nudity , strong violence , horror , gore , and strong drug use . a movie rated r for profanity often has more severe or frequent language than the pg - 13 rating would permit . an r - rated movie may have more blood , gore , drug use , nudity , or graphic sexuality than a pg - 13 movie would admit .\ndespite this , in practice i myself was deeply disturbed and repulsed by the sheer visual - emotional impact of a close - up depiction of jesus christ passionately kissing a woman in bed . roger ebert , in his review of spike lee\u2019s bamboozled , criticized that film\u2019s use of actors in blackface makeup \u2014 even though the actors themselves were black and the device was intended as a critique of racism \u2014 arguing that the sheer racist association of the image itself overwhelms the context and dramatic purpose . watching this scene in last temptation , i had a similar reaction : i was just blown away by the wrongness of the very picture of jesus kissing a woman .\nseveral years subsequent to the writing of this text , debord\u2019s film were released on dvd along with his final effort guy debord , son art et son temps , a video made in collaboration with brigitte cornand and broadcast after his death in 1994 in a special soir\u00e9e guy debord on canal + , during which two of his earlier films were also broadcast . around the same time the dvd\u2019s were released , the films also circulated in newly struck 35mm prints , poorly subtitled . there were several problems with the initial dvd release , which i pointed out in an article published in artforum . the problems have now more or less been quietly addressed . [ \u21a9 ]\nnow , christian theology teaches that jesus christ was fully human as well as fully divine ; and certainly there is nothing objectionable about trying to evoke or express in art the humanity of christ . a work of art , a film or novel or painting , that evokes the truth of christ\u2019s humanity is a good and noble thing , even if it doesn\u2019t directly address the subject of his divinity . a recognizably human portrait of jesus \u2014 for example , one that envisions him being capable of suffering weakness , loneliness , fear , exhaustion ; of becoming exasperated with his disciples , or of having a good time at a wedding party \u2014 all of this can be quite valid and worthwhile .\nalthough this strange episode occurs in what is ostensibly a dream sequence , paul\u2019s argument seems to represent kazantzakis\u2019s ( or scorsese\u2019s ) idea of what could have or would have happened if jesus were not raised from the dead . essentially they are introducing the idea that\nfaith\nis more important than jesus\u2019 resurrection . what is the function of having paul say these things , even in a dream sequence , other than simply introducing these ideas into the film ? if they merely wanted to show paul preaching the gospel in order to suggest the necessity of jesus completing his mission , why not follow up by having jesus\u2019 denial of paul\u2019s message leave paul shattered and despairing , or at least flatly disbelieving jesus\u2019 claims ?\nthe plot , as it unfolds , is cleverly constructed by writer joe eszterhas ( who crafted the diabolical double - reverses in \u201c jagged edge \u201d ) and director costa - gavras ( who has specialized in clandestine right - wing groups in movies like \u201c z \u201d and \u201c missing \u201d ) . winger and berenger form a sympathetic couple right from the start , and even well into the story there is a residual feeling that this iowa farmer cannot be as two - faced and racist as he seems . then , as the film\u2019s center of gravity shifts , it becomes mostly winger\u2019s story , and she is wonderful at creating sympathy as costa - gavras turns up the heat , trapping her between love and danger ."]}

code era of the 30\u2019s and a film that could be seen as a grandaddy to the delinquent films of the 50\u2019s . directed by william wellman , director of the first best picture winner wings , it\u2019s 1933\u2019s wild boys of the road .\ni had seen pictures of the wild children of revolution - racked russia . i had read of the free youth of germany after the world war . i knew that in every nation , following a plague , an invasion , or a revolution , children left without parents and homes became vagrants . before my own experiences i had always believed that in america we managed things better ( minehan xvi ) . before wild boys of the road came to america\u2019s movie houses , a sociologist named thomas minehan had spent two summers , plus weekends and holidays , integrating himself among america\u2019s youth on the road . the result was his classic\u2026\nfamous sequence in which eddie ( frankie darro ) , sally ( dorothy coonan ) and the gang , especially tommy ( edwin phillips ) , de - train as they come into columbus , arthur hohl the doctor they visit , in william a . wellman ' s wild boys of the road , 1933 . >\nwild boys of the road is certainly a grim reminder of the great depression . i remember my grandfather telling me he lost his job in 1931 ( he was 32 years old with a wife and 3 small sons ) , then had his radio repossessed and then lost his house . i really felt the history when watching this film . thanks for the excellent review .\ndespite an upbeat ending wild boys of the road is one of the darkest , bleakest films of the depression era . william wellman already had a reputation for going straight for the jugular , as he did in his previous film , heroes for sale . he did not beat around the bush . while films like gold diggers of 1933 dealt with the great depression , it was mostly light hearted and escapist . you get no such relief in this 1933 hard core pre - code drama .\nthe film - - as propulsive as a locomotive - - is sympathetic to the plight of the young , the unemployed , the female and the ethnic ( the ' boys republic ' is open to black and jewish youngsters ) .\nwhile the film is erratic in its brilliance , there are scenes that are truly disturbing and unsettling . one scene shows the young homeless boys and girls fighting with the police as they try to hold onto their sewer city \u201chome . \u201d wellman , always on the side of the underdog , presents the police as symbols of an autocratic system . by using an excellent combination of close - ups and editing , the scene in which tommy\u2019s leg is crushed is both brutal and affectively moving . the authenticity of the boxcar and railroad yards scene , s filmed on location , certainly adds to the film\u2019s realism . wild boys of the road is still a strong look at the depression , the forced lawlessness , the poverty and the victimization of youth . the film gives you a strong punch in the gut that you will soon not forget .\nsweet polly oliver : sally dresses as a boy and continues to wear boys ' clothes throughout the film .\nthe trio meet up with other youthful wanderers and the most intriguing parts of wild boys of the road becomes the escalating episodes of vagrancy in the middle of the movie . the parts that terrorized and turned off early reviewers . most of the highlights come on the trains or in the railroad yards , though i\u2019m partial to the scene when sally discovers her aunt is a madam after the cops arrive to make a pinch . there are no greener pastures . in addition to the more shocking single scenes are a series of confrontations with authority , adults who take no pleasure in their duty , but whose service demand they take the proper steps and shoo away the vagabonds to the next town . everyone feels for them , but nobody wants them .\nthe wild boys\nis burroughs & apos ; s fifth or sixth or seventh book . the gang of totally sadistic homosexual young snopeses who come into the book in the last third are not important except as a culmination of the continual fantasy of boys in rainbow - colored jockstraps coldly doffing them ; nor are they important to the book . nothing here is any more important than anything else , except possibly burroughs & apos ; s unusually tender memories of adolescent sex around the golf course and locker rooms in his native st . louis in the 1920 & apos ; s . but the wild boys are apaches of freedom , and so are different from the\nthought - control mob ,\nthe narcotic cops and the despots of the communications monopolies who are the villains of burroughs & apos ; s other books - - espeically\nnova express .\nthe wild boys in this book are a positive force for freedom : i . e . , they have such an aversion to women ( to burroughs , women are the thought - control mob in infancy ) that the boys continue the race by artificial insemination and thus , gott zu dank , a\nwhole generation arose that had never seen a woman & apos ; s face nor heard a woman & apos ; s voice .\nfrankie darro , who previously appeared for wellman at the opening of the public enemy ( 1931 ) , leads the cast and the honors . a great talent , blessed with the skills of a mickey rooney , but cursed by similar stature and a less trustworthy face , darro otherwise had all of the tools for stardom . his biographer and friend , john gloske , noted that this was frankie\u2019s favorite of his movies , and wrote that \u201cuntil his death he would keep a newspaper stuffed away that he would gladly pull out and show to guests , \u201d a front page that showed the huge crowd surrounding the premiere of wild boys of the road ( 57 ) .\ni had seen pictures of the wild children of revolution - racked russia . i had read of the free youth of germany after the world war . i knew that in every nation , following a plague , an invasion , or a revolution , children left without parents and homes became vagrants .\nit ' s a cinematic blast of anger and outrage and exasperation sprung from the immediacy of the depression .\nwild boys of the road is one of six movies directed by william wellman that is included in warner home video ' s 2009 dvd set , forbidden hollywood collection volume 3 . other titles are other men ' s women , the purchase price , frisco jenny , midnight mary , and heroes for sale . included among the special features are two documentaries , wild bill : hollywood maverick , which is more of a traditional documentary , and the men who made the movies : william a . wellman , which is packed with wellman in wellman ' s own words . i ' ve probably watched this forbidden hollywood collection more than any of their other sets .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nthe movie debut of albert finney , at work in the raleigh . . .\nin reality , the new roosevelt administration quickly attempted to curb the problem of transient youth through new deal programs like the civilian conservation corps and various services formed under the federal transient relief service ( fera ) and , later , the works progress administration ( wpa ) . the problem was ultimately curtailed by america\u2019s entry into world war ii as young men both entered into service and vacated jobs at home , providing opportunity to those who were previously left without work . for those of us who came along later , wild boys of the road captures an american experience that seems beyond belief , yet was thought of as over - sentimentalized by the film critic for the nation ' s top newspaper .\nwild boys of the road begins with a fairly playful style to it . darro and phillips certainly have a sort of leo gorcey / huntz hall dead end kids approach to their parts . the lightheartedness fades quickly , though . the film becomes pretty dark . it is a pre - code , after all . i mean we\u2019ve got murder , rape , and gangs of hoods attacking the police . not to mention one of the main characters getting his leg crushed by a train followed by a back alley amputation . it is a grim picture of the depression era and still packs quite a wallop today . of course , the most graphic elements of the story , like the rape and the crushed leg , take place off camera ; still , you can\u2019t really say that the film pulls any punches . these moments are shocking and cast a darkness over the film that lingers with the viewer .\nan expression of the frustration and rage felt by thousands of anonymous american caught up in the paralyzing dislocation of the great depression . the story centers on two teens , in particular who are forced to ride the rails when their own parents are thrown out of work .\nwhen i first met wild boys of the road , as someone who had grown up in a comparatively cozy era two generations removed from the great depression , it seemed more like an alternate history that could have never happened than any sort of former american reality . it\u2019s depressing stuff , and hard to take , these children on the lam , losing limbs , risking rape , living in sewer pipe cities , and doing their best to grin and bear it without stopping to think tomorrow will probably be worse .\njust the top of the\nyankee doodle boy\nnumber from george . . .\nnote : the views expressed here are only those of the reviewer ( s ) .\nas hollywood got to know him , ahearn was compared to jim tully ( who worked on the story for wellman ' s similar beggars of life [ 1928 ] ) , but beyond picture snatcher and wild boys of the road , the only other story of ahearn ' s adapted to film was bulldog edition for republic in 1936 . this mysterious figure was eventually convicted of a robbery and assault that landed him a life sentence in 1948 . a technicality lowered that sentence to 15 - to - 30 years in 1952 , with the possibility of parole in six years . whether ahearn ever got out or not is a mystery . he died in obscurity in 1960 at age 59 .\ndon ' t you dare pity me ! : the boys are said not to help tommy up after he falls over , for this reason .\nyou could probably make a case that the end of the film wraps everything up a bit too neatly . not to give it all away , but what plays out on screen seems to point to a brighter future for eddie , tommy and sally . yet , it also leaves a lot up to the audience . after all that had transpired in the hour leading up to that , my brain wasn\u2019t convinced that all turned out well after the screen faded to black . it looks like a happy ending on the surface , but i just wasn\u2019t so sure . i suppose that\u2019s a testament to the skill with which wild boys of the road was crafted .\njames l . neibaur of urltoken calls it :\none of the most interesting and important film books of the young year ,\nadding ,\nthe documentation is original and significant .\nfull review .\nabove : ann hovey in the clutches of ward bond , the same memorable scene captured in the advertisement above it .\nrandom events plot : the movie is very episodic , showing what happens when each of the friends moves to a new location in search of work .\nthe underrated william a . wellman made many neglected classics during the depression , and this 1933 feature is one of the very best .\nalison drake , the tough -

conscious road drama centers on two california teenagers who find their comfortable lives thrown into turmoil during the great depression . to find work for themselves , the adventurous lads sneak aboard a chicago - bound train .\nthe library of congress announced wednesday the addition of 25 films to its national film registry , a growing archive of american motion pictures earmarked for preservation because of their cultural , historic or aesthetic significance . according to librarian of congress james h . billington , who hand - picks the films each year from a shortlist winnowed from thousands of online suggestions , the national film registry \u2014 which includes everything from home movies to hollywood blockbusters \u2014 is not just a best - of list , or even a list of his favorite films , but a \u201cvehicle for understanding our culture and society more broadly . \u201d\ndon ' t let the giddy jazz age prologue or the deliriously happy ending fool you : this is one of the bleakest films from the 1930s that i ' ve ever seen .\nroad trip plot : a harrowing journey from middle america to chicago and thence to cleveland and new york , scrounging for food and trying to avoid arrest and / or assault .\njean genet is a hero to burroughs , but genet & apos ; s masturbatory fantasies were undergone in prison , and were in the service of love . genet is indeed an addict of love , which is why his novels and plays are crowded with people . burroughs seems to me the victim of solitude . he expresses it in the coldness with which partners are dismissed :\nthe boy shoved the dib & apos ; s body away as if he were taking off a garment .\nthe comic moments in\nthe wild boys\nare not situations but jokes :\nbearded yippies rush down a street with hammers breaking every window on both sides leave a wake of screaming burglar alarms strip off the beards , reverse collars and they are fifty clean priests throwing petrol bombs under every car whoosh a block goes up behind them .\nto that end , the 2013 honorees include three early works from the silent era : \u201ca virtuous vamp\u201d ( 1919 ) , \u201cdaughter of dawn\u201d ( 1920 ) , and the proto - feminist cinderella tale \u201cella cinders\u201d ( 1926 ) . the inclusion of these titles will come as particularly good news to fans of silent cinema , many of whom were no doubt alarmed this month to learn , through a report issued by the library of congress , that as many as three - quarters of all silent films made through the 1920s have been lost or utterly damaged .\nthe young tramps seldom remain a week in any community . relief policies force them to move . in addition , there is the lure of the road inspiring them with hope of better times just beyond the hills and a nervous \u2018itching foot\u2019 for travel per se . it was , in truth , impossible for the transient boy or girl to stay anywhere when this study was made . relief authorities gave a meal and an invitation to move on . no matter how tired he or she was , how willing to work , how weary and disgusted with the road and its aimless wandering , he had to take to it . police did not trouble transients so long as they kept moving . as soon as they attempted to halt , however , police acted . jungles were raided , soup and bread lines searched for non - residents , mission lists combed . the child tramp was out again on the road ( 54 ) .\nilliam s . burroughs is a great autoeroticist - - of writing , not sex . he gets astral kicks by composing in blocks , scenes , repetitive and identical memories galvanizing themselves into violent fantasies , the wild mixing of pictures , words , the echoes of popular speech . it is impossible to suspect him of any base erotic motives in his innumerable scenes of one adolescent boy servicing another like a piece of plumbing ; nor should one expect a book from him different from his others . burroughs is the purest writer in barney rosset & apos ; s grove , and not just because in this book he more than ever turns his obsession with cold , callous homosexual coupling into a piece of american science fiction .\nthe threat to older films is well established , partly as a result of the library of congress\u2019s efforts to raise awareness . but more recent works are also highly fragile . filmmaker michael moore , whose groundbreaking documentary \u201croger & me\u201d is also on the list of 2013 inductees , says he was recently dismayed to discover \u2014 when the new york film festival requested a copy of his film for the festival\u2019s 50th anniversary \u2014 that there were no prints of the 1989 film that had not \u201cfaded to pink . \u201d\njacqueline t . lynch , author of ann blyth : actress . singer . star . , says :\na prime example of a classic film fan taking the reins to produce a scholarly study of a neglected figure from the golden age of classic films in a way that i feel is refreshing , infinitely helpful to fans and students of old movies .\nfull review .\nwhile on the train they meet another runaway , sally ( dorothy coonan ) . she is heading for chicago to stay with her aunt . when they arrive in the windy city , most of the other young transients on the train are hauled off by the fuzz , but since dorothy has a letter from her aunt , she and the boys are able to stay . too bad sally\u2019s aunt has her own problems with the police and is hauled off shortly after the trio arrives at her apartment .\nburroughs & apos ; s whole esthetic and his suspicion of every political idea are the same : let me alone ! even his endlessly fascinated , obsessive recall of homosexual intercourse says - - let me alone . there is no lovemaking , no interest in love , not even much interest in the sensation of orgasm . the emphasis is on emission as the end product . the idea is to show in how many different scenes and with how many coldly selected partners one can do it . but repetition , that fatally boring element in burroughs & apos ; s\ncut - ups ,\nturns the coupling into an obsessive primal scene that never varies in its details . the technical arrangements never vary , but they are described with such unwearied relish that the\nwild boys\nand their sadistic knives , scissors , gougers , castrators , etc . , etc . , seem like the embroidery of a cruel dream , not wickedness .\npunch clock villain : the cops in cleveland , who are just following orders when they turn the fire hoses on the children ' s tramp village . one mentions that he has a couple of kids of his own at home .\nspared by the adaptation : in the original story sally is the character who is raped on the train , and she hangs herself . in the movie the rape happens to another character , grace , and sally ends the movie alive .\nthis post was written for\nthe william wellman blogathon\nhosted by now voyaging . the complete roster of contributors , writing about a pretty complete collection of william wellman movies , is available here .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .\nthere is a very good book on the films of the depression called \u201cwe\u2019re in the money\u201d written back in the 1970\u2019s but is still in print today . there is also a documentary , that actually played in movie theaters back in the mid 70\u2019s called \u201cbrother , can you spare a dime\u201d , which is an excellent source of depression era material . i remember clips including scenes of the stock market crash , dance marathons , breadlines and the new deal . plus there are a lot of clips from movies like \u201clittle caesar . \u201d , \u201cgold diggers of 1993\u201d and many others .\ncredit three excellent lead actors for lightening this dose of reality . director william a . wellman also includes many little touches to occasionally lighten the mood , whinnying horses and stolen cakes , the wrinkly - nosed smiles of the actress he ' d soon marry , and sterling holloway doing pretty much anything , as usual . then there\u2019s the athleticism of star frankie darro bunny - hopping into a trash can or letting loose with a series of handsprings , youth keeping him an admirable bundle of energy no matter how downtrodden life is around him . but the overall tone is morbid , and even the happy ending doesn\u2019t seem so very happy if you stop to think about it on the way out of the theater . the future is bleak .\nin the 1930 ' s depression , teenage boys and girls leave home to make their own way in the world and to take the burden off their parents . travelling by train & foot , they rarely find any work and starve most of the way , and one character loses a leg in the process . eventually arrested , the three main characters are sent to court , where a sympathetic judge sends them back unpunished , giving them recommendations for jobs and a more hopeful future .\nmoore applauds the work being done by the library of congress\u2019s packard campus in culpeper , va . , where films on the national film registry are typically housed , in collaboration with other archives . he also acknowledges the simple prestige of being included in such august company . \u201cto me , \u201d says moore , \u201cthis honor goes on the same shelf as the oscar and the palme d\u2019or . \u201d\nr . d . \u2013 you are right , that was \u201cpettin in the park\u201d you heard . i guess warner\u2019s was saving money . i recorded most of the wellman films that night . i watched \u201cmidnight mary\u201d and it was decent , certainly not as good as \u201cwild boys . \u201d still have to watch \u201cheroes for sale\u201d and \u201cfrisco jenny . \u201d darro was certainly agile . i meant to say something about that leap he did in the trash can , it was amazing ! did you happen to watch the documentary on wellman that was part of \u201cthe men who made the movies\u201d series . he was an interesting character . as a former world war i pilot , he performed one of his own stunts in his first film , \u201cwings\u201d , when the stunt man could not do it . it required that when landing , the plane was to flip over ! wellman did it and walked away with minor scratches .\nthey end up getting on the train once again , joined by a number of other youths ( including one played by a young sterling holloway ) . they soon number in the hundreds . their numbers are so big , in fact , that when confronted by authorities at another station , the boys rise up and fight back . after defeating the cops , they turn their attention to the train\u2019s brakeman ( an uncredited ward bond ) who raped one of the other young female transients ( rochelle hudson ) during the battle with the cops . he ends being tossed off the train to his presumed death . the good times continue when the gang jumps off the train and tommy ends up losing a leg as he struggles to get out of the way of an oncoming locomotive . as time moves on , eddie , tommy and sally make their way to a \u201csewer pipe city\u201d in columbus , oh and eventually to new york city as they struggle to survive .\nestablished in 1989 , the national film registry now numbers a total of 625 films , and includes such obvious classics as \u201ccitizen kane\u201d ( 1941 ) ; \u201cthe wizard of oz\u201d ( 1939 ) and \u201ccasablanca\u201d ( 1942 ) , along with such surprising choices as amateur filmmaker abraham zapruder\u2019s 1963 footage of the kennedy assassination ; jon landis\u2019s 1983 music video for michael jackson\u2019s \u201cthriller\u201d ; and a 1972 short known as \u201ca computer animated hand . \u201d created as a college project by one of the men who went on to found pixar , it\u2019s thought to be one of the earliest example of 3 -

out plot stays faithful to constantine\u2019s fictional interpretation of these real - life events : painting a similarly haunting portrait of the marriage of the mercers , a comfortably - off childless couple , in the five days leading up to their 45th wedding anniversary celebrations .\nbut the first day can still be plenty enriching , as evidenced by one of thursday\u2019s biggest draws , 45 years , a favorite in berlin this winter . written and directed by andrew haigh , of weekend and looking fame , 45 years is a quiet , deceptively simple story of an older couple , rendered in finely detailed performances by charlotte rampling and tom courtenay , contemplating their titular anniversary as a ghost from the past comes wafting up through the floorboards . haigh is a delicate filmmaker , averse to chunky scenes of emotional exposition or thematic telegraphing , but 45 years fairly quickly gets into the meat of its story , unsettling the semi - rural serenity enjoyed by kate and jeff , a childless couple in their late 60s and mid - 70s , respectively . a few days before his and kate\u2019s big anniversary party , jeff receives word that the body of an old love of his , who died in a hiking accident in the alps , has , 50 years later , finally been found .\nin early old age ( 65 - 75 years ) , there may be a modest increase of physical activity , in an attempt to fill free time resulting from retirement ( 8 ) . by middle old age ( 75 - 85 years ) , many people have developed some physical disability , and in the final stage ( very old age , over 85 years ) they become totally dependent . a typical expectation is of 8 - 10 years of partial disability , and a year of total dependency ( 5 ) .\nleading causes of death in children under - 5 years are preterm birth complications , pneumonia , birth asphyxia , diarrhoea and malaria .\n45 years also picked up a further award for best performance in a british feature film for rampling , which she shared with veteran scottish actor james cosmo . cosmo won for playing a retired boxer in the pyramid texts , directed by ludwig and paul shammasian , in which he acted virtually singlehandedly .\nthe organization also listed its top ten films of the year in alphabetical order : \u201c45 years , \u201d \u201cthe big short , \u201d \u201cbridge of spies , \u201d \u201cbrooklyn , \u201d \u201ccarol , \u201d \u201cmax max : fury road , \u201d \u201csicario , \u201d \u201c spotlight , \u201d \u201csteve jobs\u201d and \u201ctrumbo . \u201d\nthe most talked about film of the week sounds an unsettling choice for bank holiday viewing : focusing , as 45 years does , on the silently crumbling relationship between a supposedly happily - married couple , after the body of his first love is found , preserved in ice for half a century .\nevery once in a while a film comes along that is so natural , so real , that you forget that you\u2019re watching a film , but rather become the proverbial fly - on - the - wall . heneke\u2019s heartbreaking amour is a recent example . 45 years is just such a film .\nin a way , the filmmakers of 45 years used this dynamic of the holistic thinker in a timelock to act as a sort of meta - analysis of her life . so unprepared for this moment was she , that kate had no other alternative than to play into her own personal tragedy .\nbut above all he has taken the woman\u2019s part . in the story mrs mercer is mean - minded and unimaginative and all our sympathies are invited for mr mercer\u2019s anguish . contrariwise , 45 years is kate\u2019s story . it is in the best sense a woman\u2019s film , albeit made by a man .\nin citing it as its unanimous choice for the award , the jury ( which was chaired by la times critic kenneth turan ) said 45 years was \u201ca quietly explosive film which represents classic film - making at its best . . . a measured yet provocative film , a masterclass in understated acting . \u201d\nyears since i read a word of german , he said . funny how it starts coming back to you when you see it again .\nbrie larson was voted best actress for room . next in the voting were cate blanchett for carol ( 2 ) , saoirse ronan for brooklyn ( 3 ) , charlotte rampling for 45 years ( 4 ) and a tie between charlie theron for mad max : fury road and carey mulligan for suffragette ( 5 ) .\nother films heading to the awards with multiple nods include justin kurzel\u2019s adaptation of macbeth ( six nominations , including best actor for michael fassbender ) , andrew haigh\u2019s drama 45 years ( six , with one for charlotte rampling in the best actress category ) and alex garland\u2019s sci - fi thriller ex machina ( five ) .\nyoung adulthood typically covers the period from 20 - 35 years of age , when both biological function and physical performance reach their peak . during young middle - age ( 35 - 45 years ) , physical activity usually wanes , with a 5 - 10 kg accumulation of body fat . active pursuits may be shared with a growing family , but it becomes less important to impress either an employer or persons of the opposite sex with physical appearance and performance . during later middle - age ( 45 - 65 years ) , women reach the menopause , and men also substantially reduce their output of sex hormones . career opportunities have commonly peaked , and a larger disposable income often allows energy demanding domestic tasks to be deputed to service contractors . the decline in physical condition thus continues and may accelerate .\nroger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success\u2026\n5 . 6 million children under the age of 5 years died in 2016 . this translates into 15 000 under - five deaths per day .\nthroughout 45 years , pop songs , heard on muted radios , provide bitterly ironic commentary \u2014 i only want to be with you by dusty springfield , for example , while kate snappishly turns off young girl by the union gap . the film plays out , almost unbearably , to the full extent of the moody blues\u2019 go now , though .\n45 years\nspeaks of the hazards of coming to terms with aging , but also of the hazards of the ghosts of a partner ' s unfinished emotional business . the film features a week in the lives of kate ( charlotte rampling ) , a retired teacher , and goeff ( tom courtenay ) , a retired manager of an engineering company , as the couple prepares for their 45th anniversary celebration . ( their celebration of 40 years of marriage had been abruptly cancelled because geoff required coronary bypass surgery . )\nthe director of 45 years is andrew haigh , only 42 himself , whose first feature , greek pete ( 2009 ) was about a year in the life of a london rent boy , debuting at the london lesbian and gay film festival . his second , the much admired weekend ( 2011 ) , was about two men in their twenties meeting in a gay bar in brighton and spending the weekend together , becoming tentative lovers despite one of them being about to head off to the states for a couple of years .\nthere are shades of mike leigh here , that great chronicler of quotidian british life , but haigh , who is only in his early 40s , lacks some crucial bit of leigh\u2019s maturity and wisdom . 45 years gets many things right , in all its sharply calibrated intimacy , but by the shivery final scene , some of the alluring mystery of the film is lost . the film is best when it\u2019s trading in ambiguity , but haigh chooses to end the film with something approaching definitive . ( as definitive as this murky , withholding film gets , anyway . ) haigh is ultimately too eager to answer his many provocative questions , which , as 45 years shows us in its strongest moments , is not always how life works .\nthis last one is particularly interesting as it represents the dynamics of narrative at work in 45 years . kate is a married woman who continues to maintain the balance in her marriage even as she becomes more and more aware of her husband\u2019s hidden past . in addition , she faces the deadline of their 45th wedding anniversary set to take place at the end of the week .\nstrength peaks around 25 years of age , plateaus through 35 or 40 years of age , and then shows an accelerating decline , with 25 % loss of peak force by the age of 65 years . muscle mass decreases , apparently with a selective loss in the cross - section if not the numbers of type ii fibers . it is unclear whether there is a general hypotrophy of skeletal muscle , or a selective hypoplasia and degeneration of type ii fibers , associated with a loss of nerve terminal sprouting .\nholidaying in france some 15 years ago , constantine heard of the discovery of a twenty - something mountaineer who had fallen down a glacial crevasse in chamonix in the 1930s .\nwritten by haigh and david constantine , 45 years stars charlotte rampling and tom courtenay as a married couple whose relationship is thrown into turmoil on the eve of their 45th wedding anniversary . described by guardian critic peter bradshaw as \u201ca wonderfully acted minor - key study in anxiety and regret\u201d , it is haigh\u2019s third feature . previous winners include penny woolcock\u2019s one mile away , duncan jones\u2019 moon and anton corbijn\u2019s control .\nbut that was in another country , / and besides , the wench is dead . \u201d after a silent start , 45 years , the most devastating portrait of a long marriage hollow at its heart , accompanies its sober opening credits with an instantly recognisable sound , the whirring and clicking through of photographic slides in a projector : a sound that only later will we know as the herald of terminal revelation .\nas the film begins , geoff and kate are planning a big party for their wedding anniversary . from a distance , and perhaps to their friends , they seem to fit the profile of the archetypal old married couple , comfortable with each other\u2019s flaws and tangled in each other\u2019s habits . 45 years immediately and skillfully establishes the pair\u2019s peaceful , august - years lifestyle\u2014walks to town and through nature , doting on the dog\u2014while also immediately destroying that illusion of total contentment with the arrival of the letter . building to the impending celebration , 45 years counts off days of the week , not unlike a more literal ghost story , the shinin g . over this brief time frame , geoff will become more and more withdrawn , disappearing into his memories . kate , meanwhile , does what the heroine of any actual spectral mystery does : she begins poking around in the past , discovering not just the traits she shares with the woman she effectively \u201creplaced , \u201d but also the numerous hints of said woman\u2019s presence throughout their home .\nbut\n45 years\nis also a story of how couples can be blind to each other ' s truths , once finally recognized . when geoff toasts his wife and weeps , kate is sure he is weeping for his lost love and that she remains but a convenient replacement . sadly , this couple ' s inability to confront truths earlier has make it impossible for kate to see that the tears are really because geoff sees his unfairness to her and the pain he has inflicted through the years . he sees finally that kate has always been his deepest love . his regrets are authentic and profound .\nmake no mistake . \u201c45 years\u201d is no polite tea - and - toast domestic drama , even if the central ( and virtually only ) characters onscreen are a childless retired couple , kate and geoff ( played by the beyond - superb charlotte rampling and tom courtenay ) . their marital contentment among the green pastures of the english countryside will soon be disrupted when an unexpected letter arrives a week before their wedding anniversary party .\nfollowing his youthful gay - themed films \u201cgreek pete\u201d and \u201cweekend , \u201d and hbo\u2019s \u201clooking , \u201d british writer - director andrew haigh ventures onto fresh ground with his maturely assured third feature , \u201c45 years . \u201d depicting a retired rural norfolk couple questioning their relationship in the run - up to their titular wedding anniversary , this admirable berlin competition entry will inevitably draw comparisons , at least for its somewhat privileged milieu , with [ \u2026 ]\nin his previous feature , the wondrous \u201cweekend , \u201d mr . haigh showed how a brief sexual encounter between two young men could contain a lifetime\u2019s worth of feeling . after 48 hours together , the lovers had somehow arrived at a complete and perfect knowledge of one another . \u201c45 years\u201d points its inquiry into the ways of love in the opposite direction , and suggests that even after decades together , two people can remain perfect strangers .\nthe movie just made me feel lost and bored . like i get they ' ve been together forever ( 45 years ) and we ' re supposed to be sad that his past is ruining their present but i just didn ' t care . the movie to me was geoff ( the husband ) still obsesses over his young love ( katya ) who died tragically 50 years ago and his wife ( kate ) gets upset . she snoops around and finds out katya was pregnant during the incident . . . . . . . then they dont solve anything , they reinforce that their marriage was a facade , and the movie ends .\nmissing out in the best film and director races , but scoring writing and acting nods , are a pair of british entries that performed well with bifa earlier this week : andrew haigh\u2019s \u201c45 years\u201d and alex garland\u2019s \u201cex machina , \u201d for which swedish star alicia vikander received a best actress nod . bifa preferred her in the efa - ineligible \u201cthe danish girl\u201d ; between the two films , vikander looks set for a busy red - carpet season .\nthe british writer - director andrew haigh came to wide attention with his 2011 film weekend , about a one - night stand between two men that potentially marks the start of a more serious relationship . based on a short story by david constantine , haigh ' s follow - up , 45 years , is almost a mirror reflection of its predecessor : the main characters have spent most of their lives together , yet remain further from true intimacy than either might think .\nand as for the notion of becoming famous in his 71st year for something he wrote nearly 15 years ago , well , he accepts with a shrug , the past will always hold the capacity to surprise .\nin 45 years it is the letter received from switzerland and the conflict involved in figuring out what to do about katya ( story driver : action , story goal : conceptualizing , overall story problem : inequity ) . subtle manipulations , dysfunctional interactions with friends and co - workers , and the tender balance employed as kate plans out their 45th wedding anniversary with event planners assume the brunt of conflict within this throughline ( overall story throughline : psychology , overall story concern : conceptualizing ) .\n45 years has the clarity of outline you might find in a film from germany or scandinavia : the action unfolds over a week , with intertitles\u200b marking each new day . through the repetition of mundane events \u2013 strolls , cigarette breaks , shopping trips \u2013 haigh builds up a picture of the couple ' s life and of how things stand between them . for instance , we see that kate handles most of the practical tasks of the household , including preparing for the anniversary party planned for the weekend .\nthe terrifying persistence of the past is the theme , and the tendency of the past to seem so much more real and more vivid than anything in the present . the repressed returns \u2013 and makes the repressor look weak . this is the second time i have seen 45 years since it made its bow at the berlin film festival earlier this year , and it has grown in my mind , a commanding , contemplative movie from director andrew haigh , adapted by him from a short story by david constantine .\nthe calcium loss can begin as early as 30 years , and in women the process accelerates for some 5 years around the menopause . in later old age , the bones become so weak that a mild fall , a bout of coughing , or even a vigorous muscle contraction can cause a\npathological\nfracture . a fracture of the hip quite commonly initiates irreversible bed rest and death . a deterioration of the vertebrae also contributes to senile kyphosis .\nmodestly paced , carefully composed and emotionally curbed though it may be , \u201c45 years\u201d is permitted a major element of dramatic underpinning . genial geoff mercer ( tom courtenay ) receives a letter that sets his mind racing : the body of his ex - fiancee , katya , who disappeared into a crevasse while the pair were on a swiss walking holiday in 1962 , has been revealed inside a melting glacier . since geoff had been marked as next of kin on her death certificate , will he come to switzerland to identify the corpse ?\nwhile british stories featuring characters of retirement age , such as \u201cthe best exotic marigold hotel\u201d and \u201cquartet , \u201d are resonating with large audiences at home and abroad , \u201c45 years\u201d shirks many of the pandering pleasures that have helped define the genre . and lacking any of the cast members that have proved consistent winners with this market \u2014 rich assets maggie smith , judi dench and helen mirren \u2014 haigh\u2019s compassionate but hardly sentimental film is more likely to reside within an arthouse niche . strong critical approbation will be needed to break it out very far .\nthe last shot of \u201c45 years , \u201d andrew haigh\u2019s sensitive and devastating portrait of a long , happy marriage in sudden crisis , is one such frozen moment . everything is paused , suspended in curious limbo . a wife \u2014 i\u2019m treading cautiously to avoid revealing too much \u2014 looks at her husband as if seeing him for the first time , as if seized by a sudden and unwelcome new understanding . what will she do with her knowledge ? we may think we\u2019ve reached the end of the story , but maybe this is just the beginning .\ninside out was already on the best animated feature , so why then you guys had to put it in the best picture too ? you could have nominated another movie \u2013 steve jobs ( c\u2019mon , the box office means nothing ! ) or 45 years . also the performances from both rooney mara and alicia vikander are clearly not supporting , you all missed a opportunit to nominate others two actresses today . except for these two things , i loved the list . mad max , the martian , carol , brooklyn , ex machina\u2026 hope to see the others soon \ud83d\ude42\nthis is not the average domestic drama . movies about marriage can be bitter and / or perceptive , but it\u2019s rare to stumble upon one that presents a situation as complicated as geoff and kate\u2019s , where what appears to have been a long , fulfilling relationship is reframed by uncomfortable new information . a small film of big insights , heavy on dialogue but light on speeches , 45 years often seems closer in spirit to a ghost story : nothing goes \u201cboo\u201d or rearranges the furniture , but there\u2019s a unmissable sense that we\u2019re watching two people haunted by a specter from another lifetime .\nfirst established in 1973 , the london evening standard film awards are the only ones that celebrate british and irish talent in cinema which are judged by a panel of top uk critics . their record over the years of spotting rising stars has been pretty remarkable .\nas the drama begins , kate and geoff are organising a huge party to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary . earlier preparations for a 40th anniversary bash were cancelled because of a medical crisis that may or may not have had a psychosomatic element , and from the first there seems something ominously contingent and wrong about the number 45 .\nwhere 45 years is staid , victoria , another standout from berlin , is sleek and showy . the film , from director sebastian schipper , has an insane hook : it\u2019s a two - hour - and - 20 - minute film , about a bank heist gone wrong , all shot in one take . which is technically dazzling , a mind - boggling feat of planning and ingenuity . schipper , and cinematographer sturla brandth gr\u00f8vlen , have pulled off something marvelous , it\u2019s just a shame that their prodigious technical work is muddied by plot contrivances and a lopsided , at times nonsensical emotional arc .\n\u201c45 years\u201d is far from a supernatural melodrama , but mr . haigh allows the spookier implications of the story to hover around the edges . geoff and kate are rational , practical - minded people . the news about katya comes into their house like a visitation from another dimension of experience , a reminder of the uncanny , irrational power of memory and desire . mr . courtenay , a naturally demonstrative actor , registers a convincing blend of longing , confusion and shame . ms . rampling , a stiller , deeper - running pool , conveys emotions so strange and intense that they don\u2019t quite have names .\nthis topic is still of great interest to behavioral and nonbehavioral readers . this interest can be inferred from the number of references and articles devoted to this subject . a search in psycinfo , with the terms \u201cchomsky\u201d and \u201cskinner , \u201d identified 340 results for the years 1996 to 2005 and 72 for the years 1966 to 1995 . these findings suggest the unresolved nature of this polemic and the merit of further elaboration on this topic . this interview clearly portrays chomsky ' s current views on behaviorism when confronted with recent developments in behavior analysis . it highlights and provides significant detail of chomsky ' s account of the circumstances surrounding the publication of his revision . this interview is the result of 2 years of contact with chomsky , and it is the first in its subject area conducted by a behavioral interviewer .\nfirst published in 2001 in literary magazine , the reader , and later in a collection of short stories , in another country first came to the attention of cult director andrew haigh a few years ago , who sent word he wanted to turn it into a film .\nan appropriately graded aerobic training program can augment the aerobic power of 65 year old subjects by as much as 10 ml . kg - 1 . min - 1 over a 3 month period , effectively reducing the biological age of the oxygen transporting system by 20 years . a lack of aerobic power thus should not limit the independence of a well - trained , active individual unless she or he survives to the unlikely age of 100 years . aerobic training eliminates premature disability , but has little influence on survival beyond the age of 80 years . rather , it induces a\nsquaring\nof morbidity and mortality curves , so that good health is preserved until shortly before death ( 4 ) . activity patterns in late middle age are quite strong predictors of the likelihood of dependency as a senior ( 11 ) .\nin terms of filmmaking skill , 45 years is a decided advance on weekend , yet it feels less original , and not only because the subject is a heterosexual couple instead of a gay one . indeed , it ' s hard to say how much difference this really makes : while we ' re asked to ponder how far the gap between geoff and kate reflects broader differences between men and women , haigh arrives at no firm conclusion . more significant is the way that both hide their emotions beneath a facade of stoic respectability , as many heroes and heroines of british cinema have done since the days of brief encounter .\nabove all , \u201c45 years\u201d is a drama of quiet restraint . the camera observes while kate takes her dog max for walks in the misty autumnal countryside , goes for excursions \u201cinto town\u201d ( norwich ) , or joins friends on a riverboat trip in the norfolk broads \u2014 the scars left after the occupying romans dug for peat are a neat echo of both the deadly swiss crevasse and the fissure opening in the mercers\u2019 marriage . at home , the couple enjoy an intimate moment as they dance to an old favorite ( \u201cstagger lee\u201d by lloyd price ) and then attempt to rekindle their sex life . it\u2019s a touching and very believable depiction .\n45 years is based on a 12 - page short story by david constantine called in another country and to read it is to realise how radically , how thoughtfully , haigh has revised the drama . he has moved it from wales to norfolk ( perhaps influenced by norfolk - favouring producer tristan goligher ) and moved the couple up the social scale a little . he has added the anniversary party subplot ( a complete inversion of all those romcoms that climax in all - singing and dancing joyousness , mamma mia ! upwards ) . he has lowered the characters\u2019 ages from their eighties to their late sixties to make it more contemporary and change more possible .\nseventy years on , the retreating ice released its hold on the guide\u2019s body , which the son he had fathered before his death was taken to identify . the shocking sight of his father - perfectly preserved in his prime , while he himself approached his eighties - tipped the son towards insanity .\nthe london critics\u2019 circle today announced the nominations for their 36th annual film awards \u2014 and while there\u2019s a certain british accent to the roster , their choices largely confirm the critical favorites anointed by their u . s . counterparts . todd haynes\u2019 \u201c carol \u201d leads the field with seven nominations , including film and director of the year , plus a pair of leading actress bids for cate blanchett and rooney mara . close behind , with six nods , is another intimate two - hander : in addition to citations for veteran stars charlotte rampling and tom courtenay , andrew haigh\u2019s homegrown \u201c 45 years \u201d is mentioned for film , british / irish film and director of the year .\nkate\u2019s inability to see the deadline of her own life ties into her most personal of issues . she was so busy balancing out the most important relationship in her life throughout all these years that she failed to take time to do those things that truly make her happy . like playing the piano .\nlike the final shot of the long good friday , which lingers upon bob hoskins\u2019s face as he revisits the events that brought him to this sorry pass , 45 years shows us the past materialising in the expressions of those trapped in the present , staring into an uncertain future . as geoff and kate dance to the platters\u2019 plaintive smoke gets in your eyes , we see their history laid bare , well - rehearsed moves made unfamiliar , embraces separated by distance \u2013 physical and temporal . viewers will decide for themselves what the film\u2019s parting shot means ( another hanekean trope ) , but i suspect most will agree about the haunting quality of this deceptively simple and richly disorienting glance into the abyss .\nfollowing his youthful gay - themed films \u201cgreek pete\u201d and \u201cweekend , \u201d and hbo\u2019s \u201clooking , \u201d british writer - director andrew haigh ventures onto fresh ground with his maturely assured third feature , \u201c45 years . \u201d depicting a retired rural norfolk couple questioning their relationship in the run - up to their titular wedding anniversary , this admirable berlin competition entry will inevitably draw comparisons , at least for its somewhat privileged milieu , with the english middle - class dramas of joanna hogg ( \u201carchipelago\u201d ) . and by arriving so soon after guy myhill\u2019s venice entry \u201cthe goob\u201d and martin radich\u2019s rotterdam premiere \u201cnorfolk , \u201d it also completes a surely coincidental trilogy of current british indie features set in england\u2019s flattest county .\nfrom the kaleidoscopic shards of this slender story , haigh , who describes 45 years as a \u201ccompanion piece\u201d to 2011\u2019s affectionate weekend , wrings a tale of remarkable complexity , depth and darkness . while accepting that she can hardly resent a relationship that happened before they met , rampling\u2019s watchful kate struggles to make sense of her childless marriage in the new knowledge of this perfectly preserved interloper . as for courtenay\u2019s bamboozled geoff , the discovery of katya\u2019s body turns him into a man out of time ( \u201cshe looks like she did in 1962 and i look like this \u201d ) , his spirit spiralling back toward distant youth , his memories clearer and more vivid than his foggy - eyed vision of the present .\ni first saw 45 years at the berlin film festival , where rampling deservedly won the silver bear for best actress , and praised it highly , rating it at four stars . on seeing it again , i realise i undervalued it nonetheless , finding it , perhaps because of that context , just all a bit too english in comparison to michael haneke\u2019s masterpiece about late marriage , amour ( it\u2019s true , there are a few overwritten alan bennetty moments , such as geoff boring on about fixing a broken ballcock ) . moreover , i thought rampling simply outshone courtenay , whereas his mutedness and churlishness is actually necessary to his part , a great performance of vulnerability too , equally deserving of his silver bear .\nadditionally , three identical strangers , the incredible true story of three triplets separated at birth and reunited years later , received the audience award for documentary , while two short films tied for audience award honors : runner , written and directed by chicago - based filmmaker clare cooney , and we forgot to break up .\nthis is the scene i recalled at the opening moments of\n45 years ,\nthe intense film directed by andrew haigh about a couple and their lives in a village in the english countryside . it is not to be missed , except by those faint of heart or those who have no patience with slow , but brilliant character development . here one finds the same foreboding sense of grey found in bergman ' s marital examination . yes , the grey is a matter of age , but far more , a matter of a malignant secret and its marital impact . ( spoiler alert : to develop this perspective , i will discuss plot development . what i see , however , as the pivotal turning point of the film is omitted . )\nthe source material is david constantine\u2019s enigmatic short story in another country , in which an ageing married man receives a letter telling him that the body of his previous girlfriend has been found , perfectly preserved in the ice of the alps where she fell 50 years ago . this news gets a chilly reception from his wife , who is alarmed by the frozen spectre of a former love . \u201cinto the little room came a rush of ghosts , \u201d writes constantine , the vision of \u201cmy katya\u201d , who has aged not a day since her death , creating an icy fracture as tangible as that into which the poor soul tripped and fell all those years ago .\nmaximal heart rate decreases mainly because of a decreased responsiveness to circulating catecholamines . the classical equation [ peak rate = ( 220 - age in years ) ] implies a maximum of about 155 beats . min - 1 at age 65 years ( 1 ) . more recent research suggests that a well - motivated 65 - year - old can attain a rate of 170 beats . min - 1 or more during uphill treadmill running , although muscle weakness may lead to somewhat lower maxima during cycle ergometry ( 10 ) . peak values are further reduced if the subject experiences breathlessness ( in chronic pulmonary disease ) or develops myocardial ischemia ( in the sick sinus syndrome ) .\nit seems very odd to say that i would prefer to watch a conventional love story after viewing this film , but i whole - heartedly believe that . this is a very frustrating picture .\n45 years\nfollows an elderly couple about to celebrate their forty - fifth wedding anniversary , and while they are deeply in love , what comes into their lives is devastating for one of them . as a story is uncovered about a past lover , geoff begins to recall everything they did together before he married his current wife . explaining his past to her , emotions being to fly and the performances are what drive the rest of the film . aside from great direction , a brilliant cast in charlotte rampling and tom courtenay , and dialogue that will have you believing what is being presented , this film feels a little unfinished . i do understand the praise around this film , but by the end , i felt myself wanting so much more , and most reviews do not touch on that . this couple is about to reach the peak of the their marriage and everything in the last frame was off for me . it was trying to give a huge emotionally payoff , but i was left empty and wanting to understand their feelings . that is the main plot of the story , and i do not feel it was explored enough . in he end ,\n45 years\nflows at a good pace and it ' s 97 minutes running time is the perfect length for this story . it is a nice watch , but nothing more .\nthe defining decision of the mercers\u2019 relationship \u2014 the fact that they opted not to have children , and thus now have no family at all in their lives \u2014 is barely alluded to by the couple , as is reasonable in a weeklong snapshot of a 45 - year marriage . this childless state serves the drama , raising the stakes of the couple\u2019s interdependence and mutual absorption , while offering no natural outlet for kate\u2019s pressure - cooker feelings .\nkate and geoff mercer are planning to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary with dozens of friends . the event is to take place soon in the community hall of norwich , the town near which they live . a week before the party , geoff receives a letter which , although he tries to hide it , obviously troubles him . when his wife asks him what is going on , geoff tells her that the body of katya , his first great love who disappeared fifty years before in the alps , has just been found in a melting glacier . from then on , geoff starts behaving more and more strangely and for the first time after so many years kate asks herself who the man she married so long ago really is .\nit is hard to empathize with someone faced with a problem they don\u2019t see . holistic thinkers don\u2019t see time the same way linear thinkers do . time is fluid to them ; seven days came seem like seven seconds , or seven years . so how then can one justify the overwhelmingly positive critical response to the film and a 97 % rating on rotten tomatoes ?\npreterm birth , intrapartum - related complications ( birth asphyxia or lack of breathing at birth ) , and infections cause most neonatal deaths . from the end of the neonatal period and through the first 5 years of life , the main causes of death are pneumonia , diarrhoea and malaria . malnutrition is the underlying contributing factor , making children more vulnerable to severe diseases .\nkate ( charlotte rampling ) and geoff ( tom courtenay ) are norfolk retirees awaiting their 45th wedding anniversary . their lives are cosy and seemingly content \u2013 until the past rises to the surface , in a strangely literal sense . years before the two met , we ' re told , geoff was involved with a german woman , katia , who died in a hiking accident .\nkate and geoff mercer are planning to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary with dozens of friends . the event is to take place soon in the community hall of norwich , the town near which they live . a week before the party , geoff receives a letter which , although he tries to hide it , obviously troubles him . when his wife asks him what is going on , geoff tells her that the body of katya , his first great love who disappeared fifty years before in the alps , has just been found in a melting glacier . from then on , geoff starts behaving more and more strangely and for the first time after so many years kate asks herself who the man she married so long ago really is . written by guy bellinger\nthe film is exceptionally beautifully and tactfully photographed , serving this wrenching story calmly and even peacefully . and the casting is tremendous . we all know that rampling is great , so formidable and stern , yet implying such depth of feeling and eroticism , hardly any the less now that she is 69 . but what makes this film work so specially is our constant awareness of both her and tom courtenay , now 78 , as having been such icons of youth in their day , a bit more than 45 years ago , as it happens . rampling was 20 when she burst into film in georgy girl in 1966 , while courtenay was still in his twenties too in the loneliness of the long distance runner ( 1962 ) and billy liar ( 1963 ) . we\u2019re always aware of what they were as we look at what they are , handsome as they may be in old age . these are brave acknowledgements .\nlooked at one way , the most significant character in 45 years hasn\u2019t a single line of dialogue , appears only in still photographs , and died a half - century before the events of the film . her name is katya , and she was young and beautiful when she plummeted to her demise in the swiss alps . geoff ( tom courtenay ) , the man she was with when she fell , hasn\u2019t mentioned her since he married kate ( charlotte rampling ) , his wife of four - and - a - half decades , not long after the tragedy . but mere minutes into the film , a letter arrives , like an intruder from the past : a body has been discovered , perfectly preserved in the ice . and for the 90 minutes that follow , geoff and kate will do little else but talk about or around katya . she is the elephant in every room of their cozy norfolk home .\ninjuries ( including road traffic injuries , drowning , burns , and falls ) rank among the top causes of death and lifelong disability among children aged 5 - 14 years . the patterns of death in older children and adolescents reflect the underlying risk profiles of the age groups , with a shift away from infectious diseases of childhood and towards accidents and injuries , notably drowning and road traffic injuries for older children and adolescents .\nit\u2019s the start of the week in which the couple are preparing for their 45th wedding anniversary party , their 40th having been put off when geoff needed a heart bypass . the film takes us through that week , day by day , each starting with an expansive view of the misty east anglian landscape , while at the same time reaching right back over the years \u2014 this being a study in time , how it makes us what we are and how it ruins us .\nexercise training cannot restore tissue that has already been destroyed , but it can protect the individual against a number of the chronic diseases of old age . more importantly , it maximizes residual function . in some instances , biological age is reduced by as much as 20 years . life expectancy is increased , partial and total disability are delayed , and there are major gains in quality - adjusted life expectancy . exercise is thus a very important component of healthy living for the senior citizen .\nconsidering what is contained in that missive , the situation that rocks their world is akin to when glenn close \u2019s stalker in \u201c fatal attraction \u201d shockingly bursts out of the water with knife at the ready after presumably drowning in a bathtub . initially , the news that the ice - encased body of geoff\u2019s german first love , katya , who died more than 50 years ago after falling through a crack in a glacier as they hiked in the swiss alps , feels oddly random yet innocuous .\nfilm is an art that plays tricks with time . a movie is a fixed , finite , relatively short experience \u2014 a hundred minutes or so in a given viewer\u2019s life \u2014 that can span years , even centuries . the phrase \u201creal time , \u201d sometimes applied to movies that match their internal and external chronologies , expresses a wish and a delusion . in reality , as on screen , time compresses , expands , doubles back on itself and even , now and then , appears to stop .\na child ' s risk of dying is highest in the first 28 days of life ( the neonatal period ) . improving the quality of antenatal care , care at the time of childbirth , and postnatal care for mothers and their newborns are all essential to prevent these deaths . globally 2 . 6 million children died in the first month of life in 2016 . there are approximately 7 000 newborn deaths every day , amounting to 46 % of all child deaths under the age of 5 - years ."]}

the dreyfusards and the anti - dreyfusards - because , for being such an important part of french history , it was largely present throughout proust\u2019s story and characters . the dreyfus affair , by piers paul read , depicts the sad but unfortunately true story of french captain alfred dreyfus ,\nthe dreyfus affair was debated across the world . it filled the newspapers , and the second trial at rennes in 1899 witnessed a media frenzy of a kind we are all too familiar with today . eager to participate in that frenzy and take advantage of one of the first news stories of worldwide interest to come into its view was the motion picture camera . films were made of the dreyfus affair because they were excellent business , but also \u2013 in one significant case \u2013 because they enabled the filmmaker to express his dedication to the dreyfus cause . the motion picture industry responded with newsfilm , dramatic reconstructions and sketches , so that the affair served as a demonstration of everything that the young medium could do to capture the semblance of reality .\nl\u2019affaire dreyfus : entrevue de dreyfus et de sa femme \u00e0 rennes . 1 july 1899 \u2013 dreyfus ( furthest right ) in prison at rennes meets his wife lucie for the first time in four years . georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s , playing the lawyer labori , is the figure in the centre , with another dreyfus lawyer , edgar demange , portrayed to the right .\ni\u2019m starting up a new series here at the bioscope . it is going to document the ways in which the early motion picture recorded and influenced the lives of some significant individuals . public lives from 1896 onwards started to be different to a significant degree because they began to be led in front of motion picture cameras , which could record them in reality or reconstitute them dramatically as entertainment . each post in the series will investigate an individual of significance to social , cultural or political history and try to see them particularly in the light of the cinema . each post will include a filmography including both non - fiction and fiction films . i don\u2019t know whether any of the subjects will be actors or filmmakers \u2013 maybe so . but the series starts with a french soldier , victim of one of the most notorious cases of miscarriage of justice in history , alfred dreyfus .\nin france the dreyfus affair became a focal point for anti - semitism . in 1894 alfred dreyfus , a highly placed jewish army officer , was falsely accused of treason . his final vindication ( in 1906 ) was hampered by the french military and the bitterly anti - semitic french press , and the wrenching controversy over\u2026\nthe first talking films about the affair were made outside of france , and they were not authorized to be shown in france . these include :\nthe dreyfus affair evolved around the false arrest and imprisonment of the innocent captain alfred dreyfus ( 1859 - 1935 ) , a highly decorat ed french jewish officer . traumatic soul - searching ensued and french society erupted into a fireball of anti - semitism and political partisanship that called into question the very nature of french identity .\nat the time these movies came out , the dreyfus affair was still ongoing , and any audience ( even foreign ones ) knew how to read the events as they happened . today , we have less familiarity with this story , and it makes matters worse that two of the eleven films are not included . one comes between the original arrest and the scene at devil\u2019s island , and depicts dreyfus being stripped of military honors before being taken to prison . the second missing film is the last one , in which dreyfus is led out of court to return to jail , where he would remain despite the evidence until 1906 . the colonel who kills himself in movie # 4 is one of those who created false evidence against dreyfus , and the fight in court was between reporters from opposing sides on the pro - dreyfus anti - dreyfus fault line . it\u2019s worth noting that between that original arrest and the court martial at the end , dreyfus was held in devil\u2019s island for nearly five years after an initial inquiry .\ncolin farrell is ready to return to the small screen . farrell and his \u201clobster\u201d director yorgos lanthimos are teaming up again on an amazon show about oliver north and his involvement in the iran -

writing team of claude izner in les souliers bruns du quai voltaire and barbara corrado pope in the blood of lorraine ( reviewed by charles sowerwine in the last issue ) . but while the affair constitutes the background for a murder mystery in these two novels , the dreyfus affair lies at the very heart of susan daitch\u2019s paper conspiracies . daitch , who teaches english at hunter college , is not a french historian but she has done her homework ( i found only a few small errors ) . in paper conspiracies , daitch has brilliantly reimagined the affair , weaving the stories of fictional and nonfictional characters to create a historical puzzle whose pieces only come together in the last few pages of the novel .\na decade ago i attempted a tandem read of proust ' s in search of lost time with a reading friend ; he made it through all of the books , i hit the wall in guermantes way and fell out . my issues began with the dreyfus affair -

righteous facial expressions on the part of dreyfus make of him a dignified hero who refuses to be degraded by the accusations made against him . \u201d ( in this respect , m\u00e9li\u00e8s anticipated another silent film about another unjust trial in france , carl dreyer\u2019s the passion of joan of arc . )\nthe third movie is \u201cdreyfus put in irons\u201d and it lives up to its title dreyfus is in his bed when two jailers come in and clamp leg irons to his legs .\nl\u2019affaire dreyfus : suicide du colonel henry . 31 august 1898 \u2013 colonel joseph henry , who discovered the \u2018bordereau\u2019 that incriminated dreyfus but who later forged documents in an attempt to compromise the dreyfus -

wing forces in french society - forces that can be traced down to our own day , and not only in france . yet the heart of this story is not the injustice itself , but the moving fact that people of character and fortitude - \u00e9mile zola , georges piquart , and the dreyfus family - risked their lives , careers , and fortunes to get to the truth . they never gave up or gave in , and this is perpetually relevant .\nalfred dreyfus , a military officer of jewish descent , was tried and convicted of treason . the movie will tell the story from the point of view of another officer , georges picquart , who worked to exonerate dreyfus .\nif i remember correctly , even though i ' ve known of the dreyfus affair since school days and have definitely went on wikipedia to educate myself about it , this is the first book i ' ve read that is wholly dedicated to the subject . and it is a good one . it tracks the pre - dreyfus situation , up through all of the individuals responsible for the affair , then discusses some of the fallout . for anyone interested in history , and specifically historical moments of a certain magnitude and importance to certain peoples , this is a very good read .\nso , as i read it , there are at least three levels on which to understand the dreyfus affair , a complex series of events that convulsed france at the end of the nineteenth century . the first is as a story of a wrongful conviction , of a man accused , convicted of , and punished horribly for a crime he didn ' t commit . on that level , it reminds me of other , more recent stories of investigations gone horribly wrong . investigators fix too quickly on a single suspect , get tunnel vision , start reading all\nfour companies produced films on the affair while it was ongoing : star - film ( i . e . georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s ) , path\u00e9 fr\u00e8res , the british mutoscope and biograph company and its sister company the biograph and mutoscope company for france . there\u2019s a lot to cover so the latter three will be covered in a second post , with a full filmography in a third post . here we will tackle the contribution by georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s .\nl\u2019affaire dreyfus : d\u00e9barquement \u00e0 quiberon . 30 june 1899 \u2013 dreyfus ( the figure in civilian clothes in the centre ) returns to france at quiberon ( where a storm rages ) to face his second trial .\nthe second court -

october 1896 after a false report of an escape attempt .\nit is not always made clear in accounts of the dreyfus affair that many dreyfusards were quite as anti - semitic as their opponents . zola himself has anti - semitic stereotypes in his novels ; so too the dreyfusard authors marcel pr\u00e9vost and anatole france . the officer who refused to \u201cbury\u201d the evidence that dreyfus was innocent was vocally anti - semitic , whereas a number of the anti - dreyfusards abhorred anti - semitism .\nnot only did the dreyfus case introduce into the public eye a vicious anti - semitic show - trial , but it also served as a test case for censorship and media sensationalism . m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 film , says author susan daitch in the on the media episode above , was the first docudrama , the \u201cfirst recreation based on photographs and illustrations in weekly newspapers in france at the time . \u201d and it proved so controversial that it was banned , along with all other dreyfus films , for fifty years , and only shown again in france in 1974 .\nsince i know all about the dreyfuss affair , i was able to piece together a plot line here , sort of . this film is eleven minutes long and is broken into one minute segments . the events are never explained . anti - semitism was alive and well in france and because dreyfuss was seen in a positive light , the audiences were rather naughty . the great director risked his standing in order to show a belief in the ill - treated dreyfuss .\n, found dreyfus guilty in september 1899 , the president of the republic , in order to resolve the issue , pardoned him . in july 1906 a civilian court of appeals ( the cour d\u2019appel ) set aside the judgment of the rennes court and rehabilitated dreyfus . the army , however , did not publicly declare his innocence until 1995 .\nby the time of the zola letter , the dreyfus case had attracted widespread public attention and had split france into two opposing camps . the anti - dreyfusards ( those against reopening the case ) viewed the controversy as an attempt by the nation\u2019s enemies to discredit the army and weaken france . the\nin most of these productions , the dreyfus affair is depicted as being nearly finished after the 1899 pardon ; dreyfus ' s nearly six - year struggle to obtain complete rehabilitation and the proclamation of his innocence are not dealt with . a few images show the 21 july 1906 ceremony in the courtyard of the ecole militaire . it is true that , for dreyfus , this was a\na day of elation\nthanks to the military honors that were paid to him by two squadrons of the 1st armored cavalry and two horse batteries , and also due to the\ndelicious embraces\nof all those whom he loved .\nwelcome to the bioscope , a blog on early and silent cinema , with an emphasis on research . the bioscope is no longer active , but you will find here nearly 1 , 400 posts on all aspects of silent film published from february 2007 to august 2012\n) a gun , to kill himself if he is guilty , but dreyfus refuses . the other men in the room lead him out .\nwith the next scene the news realism takes over . dreyfus is shown returning to france at the port of quiberon , at night , in the middle of a storm . lightning flashes , the performers are soaked in water , sailors on the boat bob up and down on the waters \u2013 it is as far as possible the scene as it had occured only a few weeks before m\u00e9li\u00e8s started filming . we then see dreyfus in jail , where he converses with his lawyers ( including m\u00e9li\u00e8s as labori , giving himself the heroic defender role \u2013 was this series the first set of films in which named living people were portrayed by actors ? ) before meeting with his wife lucie in a calculatedly pathetic scene .\nthe next is \u201cdreyfus meets his wife at rennes . \u201d dreyfus is in a more - comfortable - looking cell , writing at a table , and an officer directs some men to meet with him . they are suddenly interrupted by the arrival of two women . dreyfus shows his pain at seeing his wife after so long , and the two embrace .\npart two will explore the dramatic records made by path\u00e9 , at the time of the trial and later , and the extraordinary actuality films of the trial made by biograph . part three will be a dreyfus filmography .\nl\u2019affaire dreyfus : attentat contre m . labori . 14 august 1899 \u2013 in the company of colonel picquart and m . gast , mayor of rennes , dreyfus\u2019s lawyer labori is shot in the back by a would -

day battles between the united states government and the anti - science , anti - intellectual educational agenda of the religious right . i also learned a great deal about the development of anti - semitism in modern european\nthe following section , which fully endorses the melodramatic possibilities of the affair , is entitled \u201csquirting cameras and rubber noses , \u201d and is told through a series of letters also dating from the 1930s , exchanged between claire francoeur , esterhazy\u2019s fictional mistress , and her sister lille . the fourth part of the book called \u201cthe section of statistics\u201d is set in the era of the affair and follows various characters , among them f\u00e9lix griblin , the real - life archivist of the french counterintelligence unit ( the infamous section des statistiques ) and a family of petty forgers he has engaged to fabricate evidence against dreyfus . these characters , given the title of the novel , are understandably obsessed with paper\u2014establishing false paper trails , recreating different versions of reality , in order to incriminate dreyfus . this group of characters , including claire who also forged evidence , can no longer differentiate truth from falsehood , so enmeshed are they in their own recreations . indeed , claire , whose fate is central to the plot , is a rather pathetic and disagreeable character\u2014rather like her paramour esterhazy ; not only does she deny all responsibility for her actions , she is worried about her own reputation , seeing herself as a wronged victim .\nl\u2019affaire dreyfus : bagarre entre journalistes . 14 august 1899 \u2013 rival news reporters fight one another during the court martial proceedings upon hearing the news of the attempted assassination of labori .\nin 1978 , a television show , les dossiers de l ' ecran , broadcast \u00e9mile zola ou la conscience humaine ( emile zola or the human conscience ) ; stellio lorenzi introduced a debate about human rights based on broadcasts concerning the zola trial . in 1995 , the public television station antenne 2 showed l ' affaire dreyfus , a two - part television film by yves boisset , based on a script by jorge semprun .\nfor allegedly selling military secrets to the germans in december 1894 . at first the public supported the conviction ; it was willing to believe in the guilt of dreyfus , who was jewish . much of the early publicity surrounding the case came from anti -

rousseau , by then prime minister , who faced the prospect of an international boycott of the universal exposition . he advised the president to pardon dreyfus , and arranged an amnesty for anyone involved in the affair . he then turned on the catholic religious orders , making them scapegoats for the villainy of the dozen or so officers who had conspired to keep dreyfus on devil\u2019s island . only one of them was a practising catholic but , on the pretext that jesuits had been behind conspiracies against the government , waldeck -

the french institute - alliance fran\u00e7aise / fiaf , new york ; the italian academy for advanced studies at columbia university ; the italian cultural institute of new york ; and the city university of new york ( cuny ) . since 2007 , erc has been a musicological affiliate in residence at the barry s . brook center for music research and documentation at the cuny graduate center , where erc has established an annual series of interdisciplinary seminars for each of the ensemble ' s concerts . the seminar series is now officially recognized as one of the academic projects of the barry s . brook center for music research and documentation . erc ' s artistic excellence has been recognized through professional performance grants from the new york state council on the arts ( nysca ) and the new york city department of cultural affairs ( dca ) . these grants are a testimony to the growing recognition of the ensemble as one of the most innovative chamber music groups in new york .\nto waldeck - rousseau , the religious orders were the \u201cmoral culprits\u201d of the affair . \u201cif dreyfus and his friends become historians and write textbooks , \u201d wrote the anti - dreyfusard author maurice barr\u00e8s , \u201cwe shall be the villains in the eyes of posterity . \u201d that prediction has turned out to be more accurate than he could ever have imagined . in most histories , the anti - dreyfusards are indeed the villains , their anti - semitism linked to the behaviour of the vichy government during the second world war , and hence to the holocaust . the injustices done to monks and nuns forced into exile , and parents who wished their children to be educated in catholic schools , were airbrushed out of the picture .\nwritten by eve wolf and directed by donald t . sanders , this multi - media production illuminates the controversial story of the 1894 treason conviction of captain alfred dreyfus that had a decades - long reverberation in the political landscape of france and the rest of the world .\nafter some ninety pages , daitch abandons frances and only returns to her in the novel\u2019s final pages . while frances is an engaging character , i found the historical parts of the novel more captivating . in the second section , the novel , after a brief excursion to 1968 , moves back to 1930s paris , where the narrator , a girl called madeleine , lives in her mother\u2019s boarding house . one of the tenants is auguste bastian and the young madeleine describes the old woman\u2019s sly intimations of dreyfus - era secrets not yet revealed . [ 3 ] those familiar with the affair will know that bastian was the cleaning lady - turned - spy who discovered the bordereau authored by commandant marie - charles - ferdinand walsin esterhazy ( wrongly attributed to alfred dreyfus ) , in the wastebasket of maximilian von schwartzkoppen , the german attach\u00e9 in paris , through what was called \u201cthe ordinary track\u201d\u2013hence the title of this section ."]}

go - lucky type youth . bhagyamati ( ileana ) falls in love with him and sanjay accepts her proposal after waiting for a while .\nall those who support this film financially support the cause of welfare of human race - their well being , their success and the eternal bliss which they blindly seek . without that support it is not merely a film which will remain undone but a universal truth that will remain unexpressed . even $ 1 individual contributions can realise this effort .\nthe title of the film has no relationship as being the favourite colour of girls but rather conveys that , women should have the freedom to speak and walk freely at night .\njalsa is the story of two youngsters amar khune patil and prem chorte patil who are extremely passionate about theatre and wish to revive an old classic drama . as the film unfolds , the viewers shall witness how amar and prem ' s respective families oppose this dream of theirs . what remains to be seen is that after all the opposition and chaos will these two friends be able to take control of the situation and successfully present the drama . whatever be the outcome but the audience is surely in for some wholesome entertainment .\nas the filmmakers tirelessly point out , it is difficult to make a film , even an insignificant one , but it\u2019s easy to criticise . i do agree with the first bit . now that\npawan kalyan\u2019s new movie and 25th movie titled as agnyaathavaasi . the film released on january 10 , 2018 . keerthi suresh is the heroine and directed by trivikram srinivas . s radha krishna is the producer .\ngave the film 4 / 5 stars , saying ,\nthe film , up until the closing credits , does not even visually describe the said incident . it grips you still with a gently piercing background score , moments of silence and dialogue , building up the tension , while the audience wonders what really could have happened one unfortunate night when three girls found themselves in a surajkund resort with three guys .\n( which has some cast members in common with the film , along with the tired , old device of cross - dressing ) . but , the humour quotient of the tv show is superior to what we get to see here .\npawan kalyan\u2019s 21 movie titled as sardaar gabbar singh an d it is a sequel to his superhit film gabbar singh . the movie is being directed by bobby ( ks ravindra ) and kajal is the heroine . dsp is composing the music .\na big letdown in the film is the fight scene where ali is injured and rushed to the hospital after kalyan\u2019s \u2018strong\u2019 retort . the revelation that kalyan was a naxalite and what prompted him to become one fails to evoke sympathy . on the other hand , he is shown as a compulsive alcoholic .\nwas a renowned personality in marathi film industry during 70s and 80s . during his acting career of 40 years , he has performed in about 60 marathi and hindi films . he was very popular as a villain . in spite of portraying cruel characters on screen , he was very popular amongst women because of his good off screen image . his famous dialogue in most of the films\njalsa is a perfectly dosed entertainer . it has perfect humor action scenes romance comedy and also mind blowing songs . casting : power star gave a hilarious performance . he also showed the serious roles stunningly excellent . ileana was good . should have got more of her role . mukesh rishi is perfect as villain . rest all shared the screen space . screenplay / direction : trivikram came up with a better direction but not up to the mark like athadu . he drove the movie smoothly without doubts in viewers . songs / background music : the songs are the plus point and background score in serious scenes are giving a thunderous adrenaline punch . story : routine with a hint of surprise in interval . post interval had a good momentum and suddenly movie collapsed and came down again with the first half . again comedy and action everything routine . climax was better and gave a different approach . director connects the first scene and climax scene at the end of the movie . . catchy dialogs : interval dialog post interval fight dialog climax dialog catchy tunes : my heart is beating and jalsa title song . . final analysis : the movie has a dull start and picks up momentum in interval . the second half begins well and runs well for 15 minutes . again the movie loses momentum and rare surprises here and there along with comedy makes it to a confirmed head - head climax . pre climax scenes are good and gives a surprise . overall routine well dosed entertainer .\ndeepak sehgal ( amitabh bachchan ) is a retired lawyer suffering from bipolar disorder who experiences frequent mood swings and has an ailing wife ( mamata shankar ) . he is also a neighbor of minal , falak and andrea . he witnesses their troubles and after consultation with his wife , represents the girls in the court as their defense counsel . the film revolves around how deepak fights and wins the girls ' case against the influential boys .\nwatch latest kannada movie jalsa theatrical trailer starring : niranjan wadayarr , akanksha , sadhukokila , shobaraj , bullet prakash . directed by : kantha kannalli . produced by : smt . n sarojadevi -

( pinkerton detective charlie siringo quit at $ 12 because he thought the items were not worth more than that . )\nkid antrim subsequently links up with a group of thieves south of silver city . this band , known as\nthe boys ,\nwas part of a large outlaw network , a sort of organized crime syndicate of the southwest .\nthe kid writes governor wallace and vigorously denies that he or any of his men shot jim carlyle . despite the kid ' s pleas of innocence , wallace publishes a notice in the new mexico newspapers three days later .\n$ 500 reward . notice is hereby given that five hundred dollars reward will be paid for the delivery of bonney alias ' the kid ' to the sheriff of lincoln county .\n. one has billy and elfego as pals in their teens walking from socorro , new mexico to albuquerque , a distance of seventy miles . the other has elfego talking the deputy who has custody of billy ( escorting him on a train to the capitol in santa fe ) into allowing elfego to buy billy and the deputy lunch at the\nthe keeper is all right . a low budget straight to video action film , it keeps things simple . structurally it\u2019s a little wacky , with a dull first act that almost serves as a mini - movie unrelated to the rest of the film . the keeper benefits from having plenty of action , even if it is more a display of seagal\u2019s legendary skills as a marksman than a celebration of his face - flattening fist fighting abilities . an unremarkable film that does the job , this one\u2019s worth checking out when you next stumble across it on tv .\nthe albuquerque museum put together an excellent exhibit on billy the kid \u2013 covering both the history and the later legend phenomenon \u2013 in 2007 , and there were widespread celebrations of the sesquicentennial of billy ' s birth in 2009 . in spring of 2010 , term - limited new mexico governor richardson sent out feelers to historians concerning his granting a pardon to billy bonney ( to fulfill gov . wallace ' s failure ) ; richardson ' s decision was not to pardon the outlaw . in june 2011 , billionaire fascist william ' wild bill ' koch bought the official tintype portrait of william bonney for $ 2 . 3 million at auction in denver , colorado .\ndwayne johnson\u2019s pecs lead the way in this reboot of the 90s tv show about la lifeguards keen on snug swimwear and running in slo - mo . zac efron\u2019s biceps lend valuable support .\nback in new mexico , the kid poses awkwardly for the only photo ever taken of him . billy ' s lover paulita maxwell later claims that she never liked the picture , claiming it does not do him justice .\nthe second acknowledged portrait of billy the kid ( at top of page ) was discovered at a rummage sale in las vegas , nevada and is signed by billy on the back . then in august 2013 , new mexico historian frank h . parrish revealed that he has authenticated a third portrait of billy the kid ( at left , cropped ) posing with best pal daniel dedrick . ( the owner ' s identity & location were kept secret , for security purposes ; the intention of the revelation was to get potential buyers to contact parrish . the owner was later identified as joe soebbing of mesilla valley , new mexico . ) what makes the authentication sound simple is that dedrick ' s family were the original owners of the common ( first ) official portrait of billy , standing with the rifle .\nbilly the kid : audiobiography\n[ 1997 ] written by wymon windsor , narrated by donnie blanz readio theatre audio cd [ 2 / 2005 ] for $ 12 . 95\nthe dramatic storyline and characterizations are skillfully brought to life in this compelling dramatization which provides an authoritative history of the events which led to the death of john henry tunstall , 134 years ago which sparked the legend we now know as billy the kid . you see the the santa fe ring plotting death as casually as smoking a cigar ; john chisum staring death in the face as he tells a young newspaper man how it all began , the englishman , john tunstall riding unwittingly to his sudden brutal death on a lonely mountainside and billy the kid , standing at his friend s graveside , vowing to hunt down and kill the men who murdered him .\nmuch is sometimes made of the homoerotic tints of this film . call me obtuse but i didn\u2019t see any suggestion of a pat / billy relationship in that sense . garrett was a twice - married father of many children , and a loyal , decent husband , and billy was famously fond of dallying with the mexican - american girls , so it\u2019s hard to see the sheriff and the outlaw as a pair of gay lovers , suppressed urges or not .\nfamous for presenting classic tv programmes like cheggers plays pop and multi - coloured swap shop , the presenter was a mainstay on british television for many years .\nbilly the kid : the best writings on the infamous outlaw\n[ 2008 ] by harold dellinger two dot / globe pequot press 9x6 pb [ 9 / 2008 ] for $ 11 . 53\nthe lawyer had bought the tintype of five cowboys at a flea market in 2011 for $ 10 . a few years later , upon discovering that a similar tintype of billy the kid had sold for $ 5 million , he researched his item more carefully , eventually earning confirmation that billy the kid and pat garrett were among the men pictured . the owner said he did not have the tintype formally valuated , adding that he felt privileged just to have the historic item .\nbehind the screen \u2013 free \u2013 a short film written and directed by chaplin , the film is long on slapstick , but it also gets into themes dealing with gender bending and homosexuality .

could i refuse ? i had $ 20 , a ten pints could certainly make me feel just that little bit better . i walked in the old wooden door , it creaked loudly as i walked in . there was a long wooden bar , with a couple of old chipped stools in front of them . one of them only had three legs . that could be rather hazardous after ten pints . i walked up and took a seat , admiring the old dusty bottles of liquor lined up on the shelfs behind the bar . from a door in the far corner , a small plump man walked in . he was holding a glass and wiping it with a dirty old rag . in fact , i think the glass was probably cleaner before he wiped it . what happened next surprised me the most ; in the most cheery tone , he yelled , \u201cwell howdy strange . it\u2019s a good thing you\u2019re not lost

and leads to the spread of ideas , knowledge and cultural phenomena . this unit has in recent times gone viral on social media . what name did dawkins give this unit of information ?\n2 . harald \u2018bl\u00e5tand\u2019 gormsson was a great king who ruled denmark and norway in the 10th century and united scandinavia . he was called \u2018bl\u00e5tand\u2019 because he had a dental hygiene problem . in 1996 , when a coalition of companies from that area came up with a revolutionary information sharing technology they decided to name it after him , to honour his effort to unite people . what did they call it ?\n3 . the internet was invented at cern in switzerland . initially , different parts of the system were situated in different offices , using the physical lay - out of cern\u2019s network and buildings . for example , the central database was in the fourth room on the fourth floor . what interesting message , which we are used to nowadays , emerged from this situation ?\n4 . this gentleman from the 1800s made a lot of money through armaments , especially thorough his company \u2018bofors\u2019 ( yes , the same as in the scandal ) . one day , he read a premature obituary of himself when a french paper confused him with his brother , who had died . the obituary called him the \u2018merchant of death\u2019 and this broke his heart . he went on to bequeath his fortune to institute something that would make his name honourable . what institute was this ? who was the gentleman ?\n6 . the popular explorer who arrived at this region in the north atlantic thought he had travelled around the world and reached our country\u2019s shores ( though he was far from it ! ) and this region was , thus , given a certain name . this misinformation has survived through the centuries and is most famously used only in cricket . what is this region\u2019s name ?\n7 . the mars climate orbiter was a robotic space probe launched by nasa in 1998 . however , a year later , a navigational error pushed the spacecraft dangerously close to the planet\u2019s atmosphere where it presumably burned and broke into pieces . it was later discovered that this was due to some misinformation between the spacecraft team and the navigation team . what simple error led to this $ 125 million loss ?\n8 . in 1870 a german chemist calculated the amount of iron found in different vegetables . when publishing his findings , he accidentally left out a decimal point for one particular vegetable and instead of \u20183 . 5 mg per 100g\u2019 he wrote \u201835mg\u2019 . this started a myth about this vegetable that even gave rise to a popular cartoon character . which vegetable\u2019s history in pop culture is based on this misinformation ?\n9 . in september 1997 , two it fellows wanted to rename their new product from \u2018backrub\u2019 to something that sounded cooler . while brainstorming , one of them suggested a word which meant the number 1 to the power 100 . a student , sean , misheard it , misspelled it and searched for a domain name\u2014which was available ! the tech guys loved the misspelled name and within hours the company was registered . what was the original word and the misspelled word ?\n10 . this animal\u2019s scientific name is cavia porcellus . the common name is a perfect example of misinformation . it is neither the type of

their work for them . at christmas , they decide to give him a present - which perhaps they regret .\nthe house at rathmore was a fine building in the georgian style . it took twenty servants to keep it going . one night , about 100 years ago , the scullery boy went to sleep in front of the kitchen stove . sometime after midnight , the clanging of pots and pans awoke him . he opened his eyes and turned over to see who among the servants was keener to wash and scrub than to sleep . did they not do enough of that in the day ? he wondered . only the strangest of persons could feel such a desire .\nas it happened , what he saw was stranger than strange . a creature , half man , half donkey , was standing with his front hooves in the sink . when the long eared fellow had finished with the pots , he filled a bucket , and began to mop the floor . finally he came over to the stove , ignoring the boy , and threw water over the logs . he cleaned the grate , took out the ashes , brought in new logs , and relit the fire . at last , he clip - clopped out of the door , briefly letting in a cool gust of wind .\nfor what the boy had described was indeed a pooka , which often takes the form of a donkey or a goat or a horse .\neveryone agreed that molly had never spoken a wiser word . that night , and every night for the following weeks , the servants left piles of plates and pots for the pooka to clean , and no matter how much work they left for him , it was always done in the morning . sometimes they heard him hard at work , but nobody dared to go down and take a look at their most welcome visitor . at last , one night towards christmas , a brave young lad made up his mind to speak to the pooka to ask if there was anything he wanted in return for all he was doing . he sat up late in a big chair in the corner of the kitchen . as the clock struck one in the morning , the back door opened , and in trotted the pooka . this night he began by scrubbing the great oak table around which the servants ate their meals .\nthe next day the boy reported to the servants all that the pooka had told him . they were grateful indeed to this strange creature for freeing their lives from the burden of cleaning . each one of them was happy to put a few pennies towards a good piece of material that molly made into a coat for the pooka . on the night of st stephen , the day that followed christmas , when the used pots and pans were piled almost to the ceiling , the boy waited up late in the kitchen . when the pooka arrived for work as usual , he presented the gift to him .\n\u201ci am touched by your kindness , \u201d said the pooka with a tear in his big donkey eye . he put his four legs through the holes that molly had cut for him and said : \u201cit is a fine coat indeed for a pooka such as i . do not forget to pass on my regards and thanks to the servants of this great house . \u201d and then he started to clip - clop towards the door .\nand from that evening on the lazy servants had to do all their own work .\nand that was the story of the pooka in the kitchen . it\u2019s one of a number of traditional irish stories that i\u2019m reading for urltoken . it was freely adapted by bertie from a collection of tales edited by the poet , wb yeats . do visit urltoken for more original and traditional tales from all over the world .\nnice story , but he

this spy , known as\nthe angel ,\nstopped them .\non february 21 , 1973 , a libyan passenger plane , libyan airlines flight 114 , flying from benghazi to cairo , entered the airspace over the sinai peninsula . the sinai had been under israel\u2019s control since the six - day war in 1967 , when israel inflicted heavy losses on the egyptian military and occupied the entire peninsula . israeli jets scrambled to intercept the plane , making contact just after 2 p . m . the fighter pilots gave the universal signal ordering the libyan plane to follow them . their plan was to have the libyan plane land at the air base in rephidim , in the middle of the sinai desert .\nat first , it seemed that the libyan pilot was following . but as they closed in on the air base , the plane suddenly veered west , back toward the suez canal . the fighter pilots reported its unusual behavior and the fact that all the plane\u2019s window shades were shut , making it impossible to see into the aircraft . the airliner was now heading west for the suez canal area covered by the egyptian surface - to - air missile umbrella , which was off - limits to commercial traffic \u2015 yet despite this , the surface - to - air missiles didn\u2019t open fire . the whole sinai had been a no - fly zone for civilian aircraft since israel had captured it in 1967 .\nadd to this the fact that there had been explicit warnings about terrorists trying to blow up an airliner over tel aviv or another israeli target , including the nuclear facility in dimona , and the decision by the israeli air force commander to request permission to shoot down the aircraft is not surprising . the chief of staff of the israeli defense force , who had not slept the previous night because of an operation against palestinian terrorists in tripoli , lebanon , was now awakened , and he promptly approved the request . a few minutes later , the smoking remains of the aircraft were strewn across the desert floor . of the 113 passengers on board , less than 10 survived . one of the dead was salah bousseir , the former foreign minister of libya .\nlater on , it would emerge that the airplane\u2019s communication system had failed . the pilot , who had strayed off course , at first thought the fighter jets were egyptian and the airfield was cairo international airport . when he realized his mistake , he panicked and decided to make a break for it . worried about the terror warnings and finding themselves under intense time pressure , the israelis made a tragic mistake .\nan israeli soldier stands guard over the charred wreckage of the libyan airlines 727 here . the plane was downed by isreali jets over sinai on feb . 21 , 1973 . 92 persons were killed .\nthe libyan leader , col . muammar gaddafi , could not ignore what he and his citizens viewed as an unprovoked israeli attack on a defenseless libyan civilian aircraft . his first phone call was to anwar sadat , the president of egypt , to talk about retaliation . gaddafi\u2019s proposals included attacking the israeli port city of haifa with libyan bombers . sadat , however , was concerned about ruining his plans for a surprise attack on israel ( egypt would begin what became known as the yom kippur war less than eight months later ) and urged restraint , though he could not say why .\nbut gaddafi was not a man to whom restraint came easily . he was frustrated , and his people wanted blood . the public outcry reached its peak during the funerals of the victims , when crowds swarmed the egyptian consulate in benghazi , enraged at sadat\u2019s failure to protect the plane and his weak response to the crime .\ngaddafi decided to act without egypt\u2019s cooperation . on april 17 , he summoned the captain of an egyptian submarine stationed in libya , functioning as part of the libyan navy according to a military pact gaddafi had signed with cairo . the libyan leader ordered the captain to sail east into the mediterranean and to torpedo the famed british cruise liner queen elizabeth 2 , which was on its way to ashdod carrying dignitaries to israel for the country\u2019s 25th independence day celebrations . the captain asked for the order in writing , which gaddafi supplied . after a full day undersea , the vessel surfaced and the captain radioed his commander in the egyptian navy , reporting on his mission . the report quickly reached sadat , who responded by ordering the captain immediately to head back to port in alexandria . soon after the qe2 had left israel and was back out at sea , sadat

man who kept all the bookie robbery money along with dennis smith , murphy and a couple of police commissioners of that era . mr winchester is also a victim of this gang along with the rest of the kangaroo gang . the only killing this lot didn\u2019t organize was ian carrol . the hit - man also killed lots of dockies in the early 70s as revenge killings for the frog . he is still alive like murphy and lives among us . none of this shit will ever be solved because they are all decorated officers , many of them with queens honors . after the bookie robbery the gang all got tickets for a trip to noumea . the tickets had to be picked up from ronald biggs house down the beach in melbourne where he was staying with his wife . for fuck sake as if the govt weren\u2019t hiding him because the govt were ripping of millions with this gang all over the world .\ncomparison between the european dvd and an uncut tv recording . director and screenwriter michael crichton adapted his own novel about the first\ngreat train robbery\n1855 in a very suspenseful as well as humorous way . for the dvd release , unfortunately , 32 seconds containing a dog fighting against rats have been edited so the dog is never really seen fighting the rats . instead , only the audience ' s reaction is shown . due to animal violence the film had to be cut in great britain . mgm , as always , then released the same dvd not only in great britain but also in other european countries , so that there to only the cut version was available , although said scenes do not offend any laws in those countries . european dvd : 1 : 45 : 29 min . incl . ending credits uncut version : 1 : 46 : 36 min . incl . ending credits cut scenes : 1 running time of the cut scene : 32 sec .\nthe criminal world knew the true amount and who was behind the audacious robbery though . bennett soon became the target of other nasty underworld figures and corrupt police who all demanded part of the huge haul .\nthat was my understanding . the kanes were standover men who found out who committed the robbery and demanded a cut of the take . like chopper read standing over drug dealers and massage parlours , really .\nreally enjoyed this aussie drama of the robbery and held the tension through to the end . good script , good acting and well worth watching but my criticism is that the dvd qaulity is . . .\nthat said , completists will want to see the telemovie version of the counting house robbery , if only to see the cast work hard and do their best up against a cliched script and leaden direction .\nhowever , flashback entertainment later released the film on dvd . while it ' s no great shakes as an image , being inclined to softness and lack of richness in the colours , it ' s not bad , and is certainly much better than the vhs release .\navailable on dvd through urltoken buy it here : http : / / urltoken / p -

lite . the makers infused the show with about as much menace as a a pillow fight on it ' s a knockout . sure , people are killed , many in violent ways , but the architecture of each scene in pissweak , to coin a vidmar . compare it to the great crime movies and tv shows : the doom coppola creates when fredo is bumped off in godfather ii ; joe pesci ' s\noh , fuck\nin goodfellas when he realises he is not about to be\nmade\nhe is about to be , well , unmade ; the demise of our very own man of ham , gary sweet , when he jumps into the cop car in blue murder and suddenly knows he ' s a gonner ; the bar fights in underwhelmy ii are not a patch on the bar fights in blue murder which almost jump out of the television , at which point i grab my drink , jump out of my recliner , and scurry to the side of the room .\nthis rather forgotten 1986 mini series of 270 minutes length approaches the subject matter rather differently to the more recent underbelly and even blue murder . there isn ' t a huge amount of blood and gore , and even less nudity . it concentrates more on the lead up events and meticulous planning of the event , and its aftermath . in this way it is much more of a drama / thriller . the characters are very well developed , the frustration of the women of the criminals is especially well portrayed . the robbery itself took place in april , 1976 , however by using non - real names , the makers of this series were able to depict events in a contemporary setting . hence you will see a news of the world ( an english paper in melbourne ? ) from june 1985 , being read by a character in a vk commodore ( 1984 - 5 model ) . this show is highly recommended , but rather difficult to find these days .\nray bennett had enjoyed a comfortable career as a burglar , but in 1976 he decided to aim a little bit higher than previous ventures . despite already being known as the thief who would take on jobs others would never dream of , bennett set his sights on the victoria club , home of the ajc ( australian jockey club ) . bennett knew he would most likely need help with a job this large , so recruited a team of six , himself included . some names of note involved include ian carroll , laurence prendergast , brian and leslie kane and norman lee . the gang would target the club so that their break - in would occur just after the bookies had met to settle up with the ajc for the weekend\u2019s trade . the six broke into the offices of the ajc and were staggered by the amount of money they found . different figures have been thrown around , but it is widely thought that the gang were able to steal anywhere between $ 14 million and $ 16 million \u2013 an absolutely mammoth sum for 1976 ; the biggest robbery in australian history at the time . the real reason that the true figure has never been confirmed is that when it came time for the ajc to admit to police they had been robbed , they quoted the missing figure as only $ 1 million as they feared that claiming a larger amount would attract unwanted scrutiny from the tax office \u2013 an indictment on the operations of the ajc in itself . as was bennett\u2019s meticulous way , the extraction of the cash had been ingeniously thought out . the thieves had rented an office just a few floors above the ajc offices just weeks before the robbery , and they transported their loot to a safe in this office immediately after removing it from the crime scene . however , at the same time , other members of the gang were downstairs loading decoy bags into a van which then made a swift getaway in public view . the money has never been recovered , and none of the gang of six has ever been convicted of the crime .\nray bennett would eventually tire of being ripped off and his reaction drove him to murder . les kane , rumoured to be one of the gang involved in the ajc robbery was a violent standover man . after continuing to exert pressure on bennett to pay up in 1978 , les kane found himself staring down the barrel of three silenced machine guns . ray bennett and two other masked men entered kane\u2019s home while the standover man and his wife and family were out for the evening . hiding in the bathroom , they revealed themselves upon the family\u2019s arrival home and dragged kane into the shower stall where he was filled with bullets by the assassins . kane\u2019s wife and family were only metres away in the living room , but could do nothing as the killers dragged les kane\u2019s body outside . bennett and his associates loaded the body into the boot of kane\u2019s pink ford futura and drove away \u2013 the car or body has never been discovered . ray chuck bennett , vincent mikkleson and laurence prendergast were charged with les\u2019s murder . but in the absence of a body , they walked .\n\u201cmona lisa\u201d ( 1986 ) neil jordan \u2018s career is fascinating , but arguably a very patchy one . however one early indisputable crown jewel is the unlikely romantic crime drama \u201c mona lisa \u201d largely due in part by bob hoskins , who in an intriguing flip - side to the role that made his name six years earlier , plays as a good - hearted , but meek underling just getting out of prison . having covered for his old mob boss ( michael caine ) , hoskins\u2019 george is still a flunkie doormat with few options allowing him to go straight , but eventually , is given a cushy job as a chauffeur for a high - class black prostitute ( cathy tyson ) . as george becomes friendlier with simone , affections begin to bloom and george becomes entangled in her life when she pleads with him to track down one of her abused friends from her shady past . hoskins\u2019 range has illustrated that he can playing raging boils or soft - hearted patsys , and in \u201cmona lisa , \u201d he convincingly plays a low - level stooge with soft devotion in a wonderfully minor key . he\u2019s a man lost in an england he no longer recognizes , and even among a strong cast ( caine , somewhat against type , is a great villain , tyson should have gone on to better things than she did , and you can spot early appearances from robbie coltrane as well as future \u201c the wire \u201d star clarke peters ) , he dominates ; quite rightly , he won best actor at cannes , and was nominated for an oscar . larry clark was planning a remake a few years ago with mickey rourke and eva green . one breathes a sigh of relief that it somehow never came to pass\u2026"]}

warming tale of a guy who finds it took losing his manhood to be a better man . barry mundy trailer courtesy magnolia pictures .\nwith the film the accidental husband , i thought i had found the worst possible premise for a romantic comedy ( a hacker legally marries two people who hate each other ) ; then , i saw the switch in order to prove that it was possible to fall even lower ( a man exchanges his sperm with . . . ah , forget about it ) . and more recently , i watched the film barry munday in order to remind us that there is simply no limit for the presence of bad ideas in hollywood . needless to say , i found barry munday very boring and a waste of time . there was only one reason why i decided to watch barry munday : the great judy greer . i have been a fan of this actress ' for a long time ( since i saw her in the film jawbreaker ) , and i have been waiting for years to see her huge talent recognized . unfortunately , she seems typecast in supporting roles of\nbest friend\nor\ntalkative secretary\n, even though she still manages to bring solid works in those minor roles . her performance in barry munday is also competent , and it is what saves this film from reaching deplorable levels . for the rest , barry munday is a weak , tedious and unfunny romantic comedy , and i cannot recommend it , despite greer ' s performance .\nin another successful against - type performance , patrick wilson is convincing as barry , a would - be don juan whose stalking grounds ( tgi friday ' s and tiki bars ) are perfectly suited for his soulless come - ons . after one seduction goes violently awry , leaving barry without his testicles , munday begins to sense his life may not be as full as it should be .\nd\u2019arienzo ( adapting frank turner hollon\u2019s novel ) delivers the usual routine with a few eccentric digressions ( the intervention of a genital mutilation support group offers a few shallow laughs ) , but he simultaneously avoids giving munday\u2019s world more than the vaguest definition . the result often feels like an unfunny \u201csaturday night live\u201d sketch in need of better gags . with no constant sense of reality , \u201cbarry munday\u201d feels like a shallow comedy dressed as something far quirkier .\nmuch of the problems with \u201cbarry munday\u201d come from its repeatedly uninspiring screenplay , which contains a constant barrage of personal gripes ( \u201ci once had options . my balls were great . i was great\u201d ) and directionless vulgarity ( \u201cmy tits feel like they\u2019re two ziploc bags full of oatmeal , \u201d says the mother of his child ) that lacks enough ingenuity to give momentum to the lightness . but the real precedent for the plot of \u201cbarry munday\u201d harkens back to preston sturges\u2019s classic 1944 comedy \u201cthe miracle of morgan\u2019s creek , \u201d in which a virtuous young man takes on responsibility for the pregnancy of a woman knocked up by another anonymous soldier . parenthood offers an easy route for the coming - of - age story , even when it involves older men , and \u201cbarry munday\u201d occasionally manages to create a gently bittersweet vibe due to this decisive blend . but an appreciable tone and the considerable efforts on wilson\u2019s part to make barry come alive simply fail to compensate for the greater lack of competence needed to excuse the shoddy , half - baked plot . the movie\u2019s forgettable qualities set it up for a put - down on its own lame terms : \u201cbarry\u201d is mundane .\nbarry remains immature in serious situations like a doctors office . he does follow a respectable character arc , never sacrificing humor to learn his lessons .\nbarry munday , a wanna - be ladies man , wakes up on a hospital after a freak accident to discover he\u2019s missing his \u201cfamily jewels . \u201d making it worse , he then faces a paternity lawsuit from a woman doesn\u2019t even remember . follow this hilarious and heart - warming tale of a guy who finds it took losing his manhood to be a better man .\nwhen barry and ginger are having sex , barry points out a smiley face tattoo that ginger has on her left leg , which ginger said she got in college . but in a previous scene , before ginger was to give birth , there is a clear shot of her left leg and no sign of any tattoo .\naustin - - like a frumpy version of\nknocked up\nplaying out in a sadder , stranger world ,\nbarry munday\noffers two icky humans and hopes that , by the tale ' s end , we ' ll be happy they ' re procreating . it comes closer to achieving that than we might expect , but the film ' s focus on some pretty unappealing quirks limits its commercial appeal .\na surprisingly wistful and winning ode to growing up and finding one ' s place in the world . barry is a character straight out of the cult hit office space .\nthe story follows an average , somewhat - sleazy , middle - brow womanizer . one day while at the movies , he meets and starts hooking up with a ( possibly legal ? ) teenager , only to have her father show up fresh from the music store with a trumpet in hand . the dad attacks barry with the trumpet , aiming for his most \u201cuseful\u201d appendage , leading to an emergency removal of both of barry\u2019s testicles . once out of the hospital and in recovery , barry learns that a woman he had a one night stand with prior to the accident is\u2026\none of the more unusual surprises at south by southwest this year was barry munday , a comedy about a man who loses his testicles and then learns that a one - night stand he had before the incident has resulted in pregnancy . the fact that he was too drunk to remember the tryst is irrelevant , as is the fact that the woman hates him . what matters is that this is the only chance he ' ll ever have to be a father .\nhere ' s a film with a plot that sounds so ridiculous it can only turn out to be a stupid movie with horrible acting and cheap laughs . and while some of the laughs are cheap and the acting not oscar worthy by any means , this film ended up being far from stupid . the basic plot is that barry munday is a man who looks at women as your stereotypical single male looks at women . he doesn ' t see them for who they are but rather only for their appearance . unfortunately , this results in the loss of his testicles . and that might be where you begin to think\nstupid movie ,\nbut there ' s more . following the loss of his testicles , barry receives a call\u2026\nknocked up took criticism from skeptics who thought it was a preposterous slacker fantasy that a thin , attractive , motivated career gal like katherine heigl could fall for a lumpen , unemployed stoner like seth rogen . no one , however , would consider judy greer\u2019s character in barry munday \u2014which suggests knocked up re - imagined as sundance fodder\u2014to be a dream girl . playing an angry geek perpetually on the verge of exploding into sour rage , greer is more like a nightmare with legs . she\u2019s an aggressive nerd , carrying a surplus of inchoate anger with nowhere to release it .\nwhat ' s surprising about the film is that its loose , goofy central performance is by patrick wilson , who has nearly always come across in movies as stiff and flat . ( the major exception was hard candy , in which he was threatened with castration . apparently what you have to do to get a great performance out of patrick wilson is talk about cutting his junk off . ) barry munday has some odd plot holes , but they are more than outweighed by wilson ' s character - - a kind of horndog michael scott - - and by judy greer ' s adorably snarky turn as the dowdy woman he knocks up .\nwhen barry and ginger are in the doctor ' s office , the doctor states that the due date is december 10th . this would be about one month longer than expected since the conception date was february 11th . this would be a ten month pregnancy rather than the usual nine month time frame .\nthe story of an aging man - child has been told and retold so many times that it has evolved into a kind of narrative ritual . witness the phenomena of seth rogen and his ilk , a brand exclusively defined for their dopey charm in the face of adult responsibilities , or the series of stubborn lackadaisical men throughout mike judge\u2019s oeuvre : the character type often works because he remains likable in spite of his archetypical trainwreck routine . chris d\u2019arienzo\u2019s \u201c barry munday \u201d runs this playful stereotype into the ground with its titular crude ladies\u2019 man ( patrick wilson ) , whose rough wake - up call arrives when he loses both testicles and looks beyond the bedroom to a more settled life . thanks to wilson\u2019s gentle , unassuming performance , the character works well enough to generate a steady volume of pathos . the rest of the movie is a different story .\nbarry : he slacks off at work , savors one - nights stands , and is getting older ( young people call him\nsir\n) . then , he loses his testicles in an assault and gets a letter saying he ' s to become a father . he can ' t remember the woman and asks if she ' ll meet with him : she ' s ginger , a solitary waspish woman about his age . he acknowledges paternity and wants to be a part of the pregnancy and parenthood . with reluctance and lots of put - downs , ginger introduces him to her family , including the favored younger sister , and allows him to come with her to her doctor ' s . with his own father issues , a canny boss , brittle ginger , and her vampy sister , can barry hang in there ?\nstunned when a lawyer ' s letter claims he has impregnated a woman he doesn ' t remember meeting , barry is a good sport when she turns out to be cartoonishly unattractive and foul - tempered : ginger farley ( judy greer , laying it on a bit thick ) doesn ' t seem interested in wringing child - support from him , and appears to have made contact solely to insult him for having drunkenly seduced her .\nafter making broadway safe for hair metal in\nrock of ages ,\ndirector chris d ' arienzo probably feels he owns the self - consciously schlocky songs that pepper the soundtrack , but those don ' t help the picture ' s efforts to find the right tone - - and groups like styx and whitesnake have been used ironically in so many other films now that they ' re as stale as barry ' s friend ' s obsession with air - guitar .\nif ginger ' s motivations are poorly established , the script makes more sense of barry ' s decision to insist on being involved with the pregnancy : knowing he ' ll never have the opportunity to be a father again , he has reconsidered his playboy ideal . but the low - key way this sentiment is conveyed sits uncomfortably with the movie ' s overall tone , with frank helmer ' s costumes and paul oberman ' s production design emphasizing the garish and unfashionable , and plentiful other touches - - like ginger ' s parents munching snacks as they observe their daughter ' s labor pains - - seem intended to keep us from taking any of this seriously .\njudy greer als alice die kellnerin in\nadaptation\nhat sich f\u00fcr immer in mein gehirn gebort und ich bin immer noch der meinung , dass sie als schauspielerin unterbewertet ist . auch bei patrick wilson hatte ich nach\nlittle children\nund\nwatchmen\ndas gef\u00fchl , dass er total untersch\u00e4tzt wird . die beiden waren der hauptgrund , warum ich diesen merkw\u00fcrdigen film immer sehen wollte \u00fcber einen mann der als chauvinist und womanizer startet , dann seine eier verliert und durch einen one -

girlfriend ' s sudden reappearance in town . it ' s a real mystery , too , with clues and stakeouts and surveillance and everything . since doug ' s a hipster slacker ( the film is set in portland ) , his first step is to buy a sherlock holmes - style pipe . oh , and he ' ll need a ride to the pipe store , too , because he doesn ' t have a car .\ndirected by aaron katz ( who made the mumblecore - ish quiet city and dance party , usa ) , cold weather is ultimately about doug reconnecting with his sister ( played by trieste kelly dunn ) . it uses the mystery and its accompanying film noir elements as a playful way of addressing the sibling relationship , infusing what could have been just another mopey indie drama with some real zest .\nspeaking of solving mysteries and taking the law into your own hands , that ' s what michael cain e does in harry brown , a grim , unintentionally silly drama from england . caine plays the title character , an old widower whose friend is killed by street punks in his crime - ridden neighborhood , leading him to seek justice on his own . if it sounds a lot like death wish , that ' s probably because the filmmakers have made no attempt whatsoever to hide the fact that it ' s a lot like death wish . caine is good , as always , and the movie is modestly diverting if utterly unremarkable . but why do people keep making the exact same film ?\nspeaking of reusing old premises , the loved ones shows the right way to do it . in this outrageously creepy and entertaining horror flick from australia , a handsome teenage boy declines an invitation to the school dance from a weird girl , so the girl abducts him and forces him to be her date at her own private prom in her house . this scenario has been used often , perhaps most famously in the king of comedy , but the loved ones ( the first feature by writer -

minded criminals . the relaxed eccentricity of family plot shows hitchcock adapting to the new hollywood of the 1970s , and the film\u2019s bemused attitude towards the scheming of its characters makes it a fitting coda to a career spent examining human foibles .\nfar from city lights , and under strictly controlled local ordinances , the gold -

the actors are really filming the scenes themselves , working from a loose outline of the plot , but without prior knowledge of what half the scares were going to be . that ambiguous ending lets you make up whatever explanation you like for the events of the film , which means whatever the scariest thing you can think of is , that\u2019s what the film is about .\nflexible or rigid , clear or colors , we have the tubing you need . lamp guards provide safety where there is a risk of breaking a fluorescent bulb . tube packs are great for mailing posters or water resistant storage for maps . the epoxy tube is light and strong , perfect for kite building . try polycarbonate tube for virtually unbreakable applications .\nmelodrama and the exigencies of fantasy - fulfillment plotting demand that a high - stakes fight be arranged for adonis far earlier in his career than would ever be the case in real life . positioned exactly half - way into the film , his first east coast bout sees the hopeful getting banged up a bit before getting the feel of things . more interesting is the way it ' s been shot \u2014 all in one take for the first round , with the steadicam moving around the ring in a manner as agile as the boxers themselves and always catching the key action .\nin her sprawling , feature - length film ouroboros , basma alsharif pays homage to the gaza strip in an allegorical narrative that posits the end of civilization is also its beginning and that hope can emerge from destruction . evoking the symbol of the ouroboros , a serpent devouring its own tail , the film alludes to the cyclical nature of both life and history via the epic journey of the heartbroken protagonist , diego marcon .\nin ireland , quinn produced and starred in this is my father , written and directed by his brother paul and filmed by his brother declan , an award - winning cinematographer . he also starred in song for a raggy boy , for which he was nominated for best actor at the irish film awards . the film played at the sundance and tribeca film festivals . quinn was also seen in evelyn , directed by bruce beresford and co - starring pierce brosnan . other credits from ireland\u2019s film industry include his sister marian\u2019s drama 32a , vic sarin\u2019s shine of rainbows and conor mcpherson\u2019s eclipse .\nthat could be seen as simply a belated chapter head for the entire butch section , boyhood and prizefighting career . or it could mark the start of another , much longer block : the aftermath of the fight and butch\u2019s flight from marcellus wallace . either way , the sense of a film composed of large - scale parts is very strong . as the film goes along , we realize that each block tends to concentrate on certain characters and provide distinct , sometimes overlapping , stretches of time .\nalso directed by takashi miike , one missed call is a parody of the endless string of soggy dead girl movies made in japan at the time . but somehow it\u2019s still really creepy . the premise is that , as the title suggests , teenagers are receiving missed calls on their mobile phones . the mystery caller leaves a horrifying voicemail : the sound of the phone\u2019s owner screaming in agony . and since the call came from the person\u2019s own phone , and appears to come from a few days in the future , it\u2019s clearly a sign of impending doom . sure enough , the kids all die just as the missed call predicted . there\u2019s a nasty little backstory about evil little girls , and a bonkers televised exorcism , and generally , it\u2019s a great film whether you love or loathe stories about scary dead kids .\na dead rip off of the original movie , episode 4 . from the crappy looking infinity cg roll opening sequence , bar scene and light sabre fights to a janitor identifying a weakness in the battle star , this movie is chock full of inside jokes and tired ideas . the only redeeming grace for this movie is a solid performance by harrison ford as han solo and a compelling performance by daisy ridley as rey who represents the resurrection of the jedi . fun to watch and full of action , but there are numerous dead spots and far too much nod to the star wars wonks of yesteryear .\n\u201cscenes linger in the mind : the light playing on darth vader\u2019s gleaming surfaces as this metal man , who\u2019s like a giant armored insect , fills the screen ; han solo saving luke\u2019s life on the ice planet hoth by slashing open a snow camel and warming him inside ; luke\u2019s hand being lopped off , and his seemingly endless fall through space ; chewbacca , the wookiee , yowling in grief or in comic fear , his sounds so hyper - human you couldn\u2019t help laughing at them ; the big - eared green elf yoda , with shining ancient eyes , who pontifically instructs luke in how to grow up wise \u2014 yoda looks like a wonton and talks like a fortune cookie . \u201d\nso much of the effectiveness of a horror movie comes down to its sound design . a well - placed creak , groan , echo , or jangle can make the difference between something completely normal and something terrifying . new scary noises don\u2019t come along very often , but ju - on : the grudge managed to come up with something unlike any other scary noise you\u2019ve heard before . its ghost makes a weird rattling , burping groan as she approaches ; it\u2019s kind of like a death rattle , kind of like a throttled scream , and it\u2019s creepier than anything you\u2019ve ever heard before . the film is relentless , light on plot and heavy on jump scares , but it\u2019s that noise that\u2019ll stay with you .\nthe royal wedding : hurray ! she is a vision ! a curvy temptress ! a rump that launched a thousand gym visits . so much promise , so little delivery\nwe might be tempted to claim that this effort to create what jim emerson calls \u201cmovie - movie moments\u201d actually breaks the film\u2019s overall unity . but tarantino keeps nearly everything in check by the architectural clarity of his plot . the carving of the swastika on landa\u2019s brow sets you squirming , but it reveals itself as the culmination of a process we have seen piecemeal up to now . it\u2019s the last in a string of firecracker bursts that have kept the film humming along .\nadaptations to date : a 1949 bbc teleplay , 1948 and 1950 radio shows , a 1960 film and 2002 remake , a 1978 tv movie starring three\u2019s company \u2019s priscilla barnes , a 1994 audio drama starring leonard nimoy , a 2009 bbc radio broadcast , numerous science - fiction \u201csequels , \u201d and looser adaptations like 1985\u2019s back to the future .\nby now everybody knows that tarantino\u2019s forthcoming the hateful eight was shot on film in the ultra panavision 70 format . this anamorphic widescreen process yields a projected aspect ratio of 2 . 76\u2013in a word , humongous . an early version of it , mgm camera 65 , was employed on ben - hur ( 1959 ) , but panavision quickly developed a new generation of cameras and renamed the process . it wasn\u2019t heavily used ; supposedly khartoum ( 1966 ) was the last film shot in the format .\nwhere would horror films be without photographic dark rooms ? even in the digital age , the dim red light and slowly emerging pictures remain classic tools of terror . not to mention the room with rows of jars containing pickled animals , and the surprise homage to psycho . this story has it all . there are also touches of dark humour throughout ( the praying mantis is a recurring motif ) and one of the most bone - chilling scenes has a hilarious payoff .\nhitchcock\u2019s grand enigma was recently enshrined as the greatest film of all time in the british film institute\u2019s respected survey , infamously displacing citizen kane for the first time in fifty years . a tantalizing spiral into the abyss , the film follows scottie ferguson , an ex - police detective in forced retirement after his last case ended in a tragic death , as he is enlisted as a private investigator to keep an eye on an old friend\u2019s wife . following madeline , he is drawn into a sprawling riddle of love and death , from which he may never emerge . this is hitchcock\u2019s most profound and troubling exploration of his persistent themes : doppelg\u00e4ngers and duality , obsession , women trapped by deceit and the inexorable destructiveness of male desire . a cinematic landmark , vertigo retains its power as a perplexing and harrowing nightmare .\nin jordan wolfson\u2019s real violence , a virtual reality film , we witness the artist himself engaged in an act of unexplained violence . the victim makes eye contact with us intermittently , possibly implicating us in the scenario .\n\u201cdean\u2019s creative prowess is seemingly limitless , \u201d says asc awards committee chairman daryn okada . \u201chis long list of impressive credits has defined a generation of cinema . dean is consistently innovative , and is always outdoing himself from film to film . while we recognize his tremendous contribution to our art form , we will keep an eye on the future and highly anticipate what he will create next . \u201d\nin a spooky old inn , allan grey is visited in the night by an old man who leaves him a gift - wrapped book , with instructions to open it only on the occasion of the man\u2019s death . which turns out to be soon . the book explains that the town is plagued by vampires \u2013 and , helpfully , gives instructions on how to kill them . vampyr is an early sound film , so while there is some sound and a little dialogue , most of the silent film conventions are still in place . it has a fairly straightforward , dracula - esque story , but the plot\u2019s not the point . it\u2019s a deliberately strange film , full of disembodied dancing shadows and weird dream sequences ; there\u2019s something almost otherworldly about it .\na couple of londoners holidaying in cornwall stumble across a gorgeous abandoned house on the seafront and immediately decide they want to buy it . the owner , a grumpy old colonel , is happy to sell it to them on the spot , but his granddaughter is reluctant . turns out the house has got secrets , and , yeah , a ghost . the dialogue in this film is incredible in a very 1940s kind of way , and the tone can occasionally be accused of jolliness , but it\u2019s also got its moments of proper creepiness . best enjoyed with a glass of sherry .\ndirector ja bayona makes every shot count ; the movie is visually beautiful as well as fantastically sinister . it ' s a bona fide horror film but the ending might make you cry .\nchris hemsworth kicks off filming for the star - studded men in black spin - off as he cuts a sharp figure in london . . . 21 years after the first film hit screens\ndirectors banjong pisanthanakun and parkpoom wongpoom skilfully create real characters and have the ability to communicate some of the most powerful and eloquent moments without dialogue . the mystery deepens as more sinister evidence comes to light and the climax is truly chilling . this is one which will stay with you long after halloween .\nanother film about eyes and the horrors of going blind , the eye follows mun , a classical violinist from hong kong , as she undergoes an eye transplant . although the transplant seems to be successful \u2013 mun can see again \u2013 something isn\u2019t right , because now she can see dead people . and most of them are terrifying . the ending is vaguely preposterous , but the rest of the film is creepy enough that it\u2019s forgivable .\nearly in her career , macdowell received critical acclaim for her performance as a repressed young wife in steven soderbergh\u2019s indie classic sex , lies and videotape . the film won the palme d\u2019or at cannes and garnered macdowell the independent spirit award and the los angeles film critics award for best actress as well as her first golden globe nomination .\nwhy steer clear ? f . scott fitzgerald sure did like broad themes about the dark underbelly of the american dream , and he sure did like symbolism . since the book is so beloved , most adaptations try to faithfully recapture the elusively symbolic tone of the novel , only to create ridiculous images like robert redford reaching out plaintively toward a green light just across the harbor . in a book , it works as a dream - like image . flattened out on celluloid , it just looks stupid . gatsby \u2019s tone would require the touch of a more sensual director\u2014a terrence malick or a wong kar - wai\u2014but it seems unlikely that either of them would pick up the project .\nvidler , steven 1960\u2013 .\ncontemporary theatre , film and television . . encyclopedia . com .

shosanna , though in a sympathetic position , must maintain a frosty demeanor . even revenge , so central to films that tarantino admires , is served frigid here , a purely formal postulate , like the urge for vengeance animating classic kung - fu films .\nanicka yi\u2019s 3d film the flavor genome explores perception and the ways in which it can be altered and formed through sensory experiences . it is centered on a prospecting mission in the brazilian amazon : a hunt for a mythical plant prized for its medicinal properties , described only in terms of its desirability and elusiveness . the plant is thus imagined as a trophy for the pharmaceutical industry and a screen for colonialist projections onto the rainforest .\na powerful story about a black boy killed by a police officer , drawing connections through history , from award - winning author jewell parker rhodes .\nthe effects are dated , and the sequels utterly killed freddy krueger\u2019s menace , but the first film is still creepy , in its way . the premise is amazingly disturbing \u2013 a dead child molester is attacking children in their dreams \u2013 and , combined with some of the deeply weird nightmare imagery in this film , it\u2019s more than enough to give anyone a few sleepless nights . all together now : one , two , freddy\u2019s coming for you\u2026\nin a suite of photographs from her new project , the silent general , an - my l\u00ea examines allusions to the past in modern - day louisiana . in one image , a monument to a confederate army general quietly interrupts a quotidian urban landscape ;

direct are unavoidably bad .\nmeanwhile , film is following the path being blazed on television . the first marvel cinematic universe ( mcu ) film with a woman in a title role , ant - man and the wasp , is due out in 2018 ( it\u2019s a lady wasp ) ; and the rumoured jennifer lawrence - starring captain marvel , in 2019 , will be about ms marvel and not her male incarnation from the comics . dc\u2019s wonder woman is finally making her debut on the big screen , 42 years after she first appeared on us tv , with gal gadot playing her first in 2016\u2019s batman v superman : dawn of justice and then in her own film the next year . finally , the ensemble suicide squad film , due in 2016 , includes four main females cast as supervillains .\nas might be expected there are several other roger corman regulars in the cast and crew of the wasp woman . mary dennison is portrayed by barboura morris , whom you would remember as the charming beatnik carla from a bucket of blood ( 1959 ) . frank wolff , the senior villain in the definite - article - deficient beast from haunted cave ( 1959 ) , has a bit part as bed - delivery man with the moustache .\nwhen the wasp cat attacks zinthrop , there is some stuggling ( mr . mark does his best to \u201cfight\u201d with the cat without actually hurting it ) but ultimately he does kill the cat , albeit just out of sight of the frame .\nthis is a common sentiment in film throughout the postwar era , particularly in science fiction . in many films , women are seductresses with malevolent intentions . the interesting thing about the wasp woman is that the main character doesn\u2019t start out a monster , like so many other feminine characters in other post - war films . instead , she merely is a person who is prone to insecurity . the feminine element in the wasp woman is a great deal more human ( literally ) than in other films . if the fear of the aesthetic , or the power of beauty , is so paramount on so many different levels it is clear that appearances were more intimidating than they originally seemed in postwar america . hence , women could easily be turned into objects of fear and attraction when in all actuality america was still a misogynistic environment .\nartemis is a warrior of the egyptian bana - mighdall offshoot of the amazonian tribe . she was created in 1994 by william messner - loeb and mike deodato as a replacement wonder woman , after hippolyta mistakenly foresaw the death of her daughter and conspired to save her life by stripping her of the title . far more brash and violent than diana , artemis\u2019 tenure as wonder woman was short - lived , ending in her death at the hands of the white magician .\nwhen a professor develops a rejuvenating serum derived from a queen wasp , a cosmetic magnate beginning to feel her age decides to put herself to the test\u2026 with disastrous consequences .\nnote : the vertical axis represents the bits transferred per second . the horizontal is the time in minutes .\nthe remaker : the fly ( 1958 ) vs . the fly ( 1986 )\nmystery science theater 3000 and its related projects are pretty jovial , but there always seems to be bits of drama that pop up in the course of movie riffing . there\u2019s joe don baker\u2019s supposed hatred of the show\u2019s treatment of him in \u201cmitchell , \u201d the fan - generated joel vs . mike flamewars and grumblings by former cast members when the 2015 kickstarter was announced . with \u201cthe wasp woman , \u201d there were a few items of note .\ninformation from nelson marlborough health showed between january 2012 and december 2016 there were 207 visits to nelson and wairau hospitals for injuries related to wasp stings .\na wasp sting is a minor irritation for most people . however , some people are especially sensitive and may develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis .\nnew year ' s day ! - pasadena , california - tournament of roses parade - see wasp rose parade page for details . . . donate !\napril 2015 : a hastings woman was holidaying on arapawa island in the marlborough sounds when she felt something sting her foot so she headed to the sea to stand in the cold water . but by the time she got down to the beach she was semi - conscious , her tongue was swelling and she had a ringing noise in her head . the nelson marlborough rescue helicopter treated the woman for anaphylaxis and flew her to wairau hospital in blenheim where she was kept in observation for several hours before being released .\nso far , we\u2019ve yet to see lilly actually suit up as the wasp . but during a recent facebook q & a , lilly indicated marvel has already gone as far as measuring her for the costume .\nat to myself - - is that i expected just a little bit more from this movie , especially when it comes to the wasp woman / creature itself . two things basically : i expected the creature design to have a few extra legs , claws or wings even . but it\u2019s just just a dude / gal in a black costume , with a weird , black \u2018\nin desperation , she consults a scientist working on a new youth serum based on wasp hormones . eager for any possible treatment , janice agrees to be the first human test subject .\n\u201cif you can just stop that first wasp getting back to the colony with food material then you have more of a chance , \u201d said dr serian sumner , from bristol university .\na reception in the hall of honor at the memorial . ( this date is of some significance . on this day , 66 years ago , the first class arrived in houston and gathered together at a hotel in downtown houston . the next day , they ' reported in ' at the houston municipal airport , raised their right hands , took the ' oath ' , and officially became wftd trainees . ) wimsa will be sending official invitations out to all the wasp . this exhibit , which fills virtually the entire exhibit space of the memorial , will remain at the memorial for a year , providing perhaps the first real opportunity for all the nation ' s visitors to learn the story of the wasp .\nthere are some interesting elements to consider in the wasp woman . the timing of the plot is similar to many other sci - fi \u201cb\u201d movies of the time as the movie is only about an hour long . janice\u2019s downfall comes in a matter of minutes , and although most of the film is about how her character develops from a beauty queen to a vile monster , i sort of wished the ending of the film offered a longer reflection on what the story meant . there are so many similar themes to king kong , a film that would have been familiar to both the creators of the film and its audience due to king kong\u2019s many re - releases , particularly in the fifties . the idea that beauty killed the beast is predominant in both stories . particularly in the wasp woman , there is a sense that beauty is somehow sinister . the possessors of beauty , young women , can\u2019t be trusted . it is tolerated for its aesthetic power in youth , but when it is no longer there the power that has been afforded to the beautiful is now overwhelming . therefore , women can\u2019t be trusted with power because the need for aesthetic recognition can turn them , quite literally , into monsters .\ndesensitisation to wasp stings , also called venom immunotherapy , was available for people with severe allergies . it involved regular doses of venom to build up a tolerance .\nin 2002 , isis was closely tied to wonder woman as the chief goddess of an offshoot tribe of amazonians . later still , isis was re - imagined as adrianna tomaz and became a member of the black marvel family , after marrying black adam . a relatively minor member of dc\u2019s pantheon , the character is at her core , little more than a pale imitation of wonder woman that exchanges greco - roman tradition for egyptian mythology .\nthe product is reportedly used by being crushed into a paste and applied topically , with one listing on etsy , that has now been removed , claiming it can improve a woman ' s sex life .\nrelease date : 17 november 2017 . hot on the heals of thor comes justice league part one , the first dceu team - up flick which will see batman , superman , wonder woman , the flash , aquaman and cyborg work together to fight bad guys .\nevery so often you hear about someone who trips over a wasp nest out in the bush and gets stung 50 times and that is a riskier situation than being stung just once .\nrelease date : 23 june 2017 . gal gadot is returning to the dceu in her very own film , marking the first female - led superhero film on this list . chris pine is on board to play wonder woman\u2019s love interest .\nlike wonder woman , she is a strong symbol of female empowerment , her physical capabilities far out - classing her husband\u2019s , in what was noted at the time as a reversal of comics\u2019 stereotypical male - female dynamic . barda is a formidable warrior , powerful enough to battle wonder woman to a draw , and has served as a member of the justice league on a number of occasions ( and timelines ) .\nthis is the made for t . v . remake of the 1959 classic . janice , the owner of a cosmetic company starts to work with a dr . that has been experimenting with a miracle cure for aging . he has extracted an enzyme from queen wasps that makes janice look much younger . then the deadly side effect occurs and janice is accidentally transformed into a giant wasp woman . at night she starts stalking her prey which results in mass hysteria .\nperhaps not the most obvious rip - off of wonder woman on our list , zealot does share many of the same traits as diana , if not a similar appearance . a member of the alien race known as the kherubim , zealot first appeared in 1992\u2019s wildc . a . t . s # 1 , created by jim lee and brandon choi . stranded on earth thousands of years ago , this formidable coda warrior shares wonder woman\u2019s ties to greek mythology and used her peerless combat skills fighting for the greeks in the trojan war .\nthe host mentions that \u201cthe wasp woman\u201d is \u201cone of only six films\u201d roger corman directed in 1959 . that\u2019s not quite accurate , imdb lists him as directing three films in 1959 and four in 1960 , though i suppose some of those could just been released in 1960 or completed in a 12 - month span . either way , seven films in two years . corman certainly had quantity over quality down .\n\u201cmaybe wonder woman wouldn\u2019t be such a mess . don\u2019t try to hide behind the great trailer . people inside are already confirming it\u2019s another mess . it is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes , over and over . \u201d\nquick -

friendly tune . while morrison\u2019s notoriously tempestuous relationship with pamela courson informed other songs on l . a . woman , it was krieger\u2019s disagreements with his own girlfriend ( who would later become his lifelong spouse ) that inspired the lyrics .\nthe author of the letter criticises the studio , specifically ceo kevin tsujihara , alledging the studio mishandled the likes of edge of tomorrow , the man from u . n . c . l . e . , and the hobbit trilogy .\nwhen l . a . woman , jim morrison \u2019s swan song with the doors , was released on april 19 , 1971 , no one outside the band\u2019s inner circle could have guessed that it would effectively end the quartet\u2019s tale , much less mark the last recorded output of morrison\u2019s life . ( the two post - morrison doors albums are a postscript at best ) .\n\u201cthe reality is that if there\u2019s food about they will find it , \u201d he said , adding that summer picnickers should always check their drinks , particularly cans , before taking a swig in case a wasp has crawled inside .\nthe group gets a lot of mileage out of heroin use in this film , thanks to many , many scenes that involve injecting the rejuvenating wasp jelly . at one point joel says \u201coh brother , she\u2019s shooting up again and i\u2019m out of heroin references . \u201d\nthundra carries a chain instead of an enchanted lasso , and is known for her brash , reckless behavior and distrust of men . wonder woman , on the other hand , refuses to discriminate based on gender . thundra was last seen in the pages of squadron supreme , where she helped the fugitive super team avoid capture by the avengers unity squad .\nshe reportedly gave the wily ulysses the idea to invade troy using the infamous trojan horse to gain entry to the city . as payment for her efforts , zealot demanded 99 female babies with which she intended to establish a new order of coda warriors on earth . like wonder woman , zealot is virtually immortal and is one of the most accomplished warriors in the wildstorm universe , well - versed in many forms of combat .\n\u201cfollowing our hero\u2019s debut adventure in this summer\u2019s ant - man , scott lang will return alongside hope van dyne on july 6 , 2018 with marvel\u2019s ant - man and the wasp , \u201d marvel studios said in a statement . \u201cthe sequel will mark the first marvel studios film named after its heroine . \u201d\nmr . lobo hosts this roger corman classic full of sharp satire with some sharp satire of his own . super - model turned super - mogul of mary kay - like cosmetics company , janice starling , avoids the public once her looks start sagging - and now her sales are sagging ! hiring a mad bee keeper who experiments with injections of royal wasp jelly to reverse aging , she overdoses on the sticky stuff - - becoming the deadly wasp woman . susan cabot ' s last role - - her mysterious death at the hands of her dwarf son tops anything roger corman or jack hill could have made up ! beauty may only be skin deep - - but this episode is rotten to the core with movie trailers , drive - in surprises , vintage commercials and trash retro tv thrills .\nthis egyptian wonder woman debuted on tv in 1975 as the heroine of the secrets of isis , paired up with the original captain marvel in the shazam ! / isis hour . she appeared in comics a year later in shazam ! # 25 . in her original incarnation , high school science teacher , andrea thomas gained vast superhuman abilities from an ancient egyptian amulet .\nafter a stint in tartarus , where she was married to a duke of hell , she returned to the land of the living to help reunite the amazonian tribe as co - ruler alongside general phillipus . although widely considered little more than a pale imitation of wonder woman , artemis is a survivor and can be seen in the pages of red hood and the outlaws , alongside jason todd and bizarro .\nthere\u2019s a bit more good news : with the addition of ant - man and the wasp , the black panther movie has been moved up about five months , now premiering feb . 16 , 2018 . recent reports say that joe robert cole will write the script , while straight outta compton director f . gary gray may be in the running to direct after selma \u2019s ava duvernay passed .\nseeing as marvel has characters like black widow , the wasp and scarlet witch at the ready , why did dc beat the studio to the punch ? whatever else marvel has done right , its handling of female characters has been a sore spot for a while . in 2015 , an email leaked in which marvel chairman ike perlmutter decried the concept of female - led superhero films , using catwoman ( 2004 ) , elektra ( 2005 ) and supergirl ( 1984 ) as examples . those are , admittedly , bad superhero movies . but , arguably , the same could be said of 2008\u2019s the incredible hulk or iron man 2 or thor : the dark world .

( though it\u2019s a measure of the film\u2019s intelligence that it\u2019s possible to see these lost little furballs as analogues for the human characters who discover them rather than their victims . ) even when bliss and rogers stray perilously close to the edge of generational portraiture\u2014the sort of urban - ethnographic satire practiced weekly on girls \u2014 they manage to keep things specific and complex , aided by their stars\u2019 expertly modulated double act . a long interlude featuring four topless female characters offers up the sort of smartly confrontational staging that lena dunham often attempts but only rarely brings off .\nin the midst of their respective quarter - life crises , allie ( clare mcnulty ) struggles to prepare for the peace corps , while harper ( bridey elliott ) awaits checks from her father to fund her artistic dreams . but the two friends quickly shun responsibilities for the day when a pair of cute guys invite them along for a carefree fort tilden afternoon .\nlast week , we caught a glimpse of katharine grosse\u2019s installation at fort tilden\u2013 part of ps1\u2019s \u201crockaway ! \u201d series\u2013 while it was in progress . the german artist had spent the past days spray - painting the skeleton of a building on the former army base with colors that call to mind either the sunset or david bowie\u2019s aladdin sane makeup . the piece , which had been roped off and guarded by security as if nike missiles had returned to tilden , opened to the public sunday with an outdoor reception that was really more of an insta pose - fest .\ndrew barrymore and toni collette are best friends dealing with pregnancy and cancer in this ho - hum british dramedy female friendship is a dynamic that is so rarely touched on screen and even when it is , the topic of conversation usually revolves around men . it\u2019s why the bechdel test exists . so it\u2019s worth celebrating a particularly ripe time in both tv and film with shows such as broad city and girls and films like mistress america , fort tilden and clouds of sils maria all providing depth and humour to an under - served audience . related : i saw the light review : tom hiddleston electrifies dull hank williams biopic continue reading . . .\na restaurant and bar dedicated to promoting surfing , rockaway beach surf club also offers an extensive calendar of cultural events , including live music , dance parties , and the new york city women\u2019s surf film festival . be sure to check out the exhibitions below while you\u2019re there .\n\u201cfort tilden , \u201d sarah - violet bliss and charles rogers\u2019 day - in - the - life chronicle of two vapid twentysomethings on an ill - fated odyssey through \u201cdeep brooklyn , \u201d contains several scenes that manage to skewer the infantile predilections of the williamsburg jet set with truly ruthless , subtle precision . unfortunately , it fails to find much humor in them , and its potent sense of place [ \u2026 ]\nafter such a messy trajectory , it\u2019s a small comfort to find that \u201cfort tilden\u201d arrives at one especially shrewd image : allie , topless on the beach , holding up her cell phone and getting an earful from her peace corps contact . the movie plays fast and loose with its ironic outlook , but in that fleeting image , it finally offers a lucid statement about the disconnect between the recklessness of youth and burgeoning adulthood .\nif you happened upon a grimy , abandoned barrel sitting on the street , your first thoughts might run to , ew , or even , how many spiders does that probably contain ? in this very important way , you are different from deliriously privileged hipsters harper ( bridey elliott ) and allie ( clare mcnulty ) , whom we follow in the new comedy fort tilden ( out this friday in new york ) . these two brooklynites spy that street barrel and immediately respond to its\nwear\n\u2014 how authentic ! \u2014 and start making an overpriced deal with the dude who just happens to be sitting next to it . their hilariously blinkered perspective led our critic david edelstein to call fort tilden a\ncheerfully caustic comic odyssey ,\neven if satirizing hipsters is a little bit like shooting fish in a . . . well , you know .\nharper and allie are indeed damsels in distress , and not just because they can\u2019t efficiently navigate the way from a brooklyn loft to the rockaways ( a disastrous , distended day trip to hook up with some boys , which makes up the film\u2019s entire plot ) . they\u2019ve been shaped by a parentally subsidized lifestyle that permits neo - bohemian arrogance without the threat of actual starving - artist poverty ; their family ties simultaneously insulate them from harm while rendering them defenseless against the smallest challenges to their egos and routines . far from the exercise in vicarious hipster - voodoo - doll skewering its basic setup suggests , fort tilden is at once less sentimental and more incisive about privilege and its discontents than the recent films of noah baumbach .\nall of these journeys track , emotionally and thematically , providing a strong backbone to an interrogation of the lives of these two women . but\u2026if we rewind back to that scene in the store ? the dialogue is only fine . underserviced . despite strong performances from elliot and mcnulty and an easy , fraught chemistry between them , there are just too many scenes where the dialogue is only okay for fort tilden to get a no - reservations recommendation .\n) . \u201cwe like to showcase people who innovate with things other than money , \u201d says castle . \u201cyou know , there\u2019s something endearing about watching a film where you can understand how they put it all together , in a really imaginative way . \u201d music to the ears of struggling filmmakers everywhere .\nalthough it has already drawn numerous pre - screening comparisons to a certain hbo program featuring wry brooklyn hipsters of the same age and gender , \u201c fort tilden \u201d takes a far dimmer view of its subjects , and clearly derives its plot structure from martin scorsese\u2019s \u201cafter hours , \u201d as 25 - year - old roommates allie ( clare mcnulty ) and harper ( bridey elliott ) are perpetually waylaid while trying to make it to a date across town .\norion releasing has acquired u . s . and latin american distribution deal for fort tilden , the comedy that premiered at the 2014 sxsw . an august 2015 release in theaters and vod is planned . written and directed by sarah - violet bliss and charles rogers , the pic stars bridey elliott and clare mcnulty who play two slacker brooklynites experiencing mishap after mishap on a journey to the beach . bliss and rogers now write on netflix\u2019s upcoming series wet hot american summer .\nmoments like these keep popping up , the actors and filmmakers achieving a sort of comic omniscience ; jokes keep revealing facets of both the teller and receiver . when harper boldly insults the sex appeal of her and allie\u2019s neighbor , saying that \u201cfucking him would be like being trapped under a cold sack of mashed potatoes , \u201d one\u2019s not primed to laugh at the sad sack we\u2019ve just met , who exhibits more decency than anyone else in the film , but at harper\u2019s panicky cruelty , which springs from allie\u2019s potential moving out , and at the originality of elliott\u2019s delivery , which allows us to see that harper\u2019s revising her put - down mentally as she goes along . this touch is characteristic of the film\u2019s delicacy ; it\u2019s smart without making a show of it . harper and allie are often obnoxious , but their obnoxiousness has stature . the women are insufferable partially because they have the soul to understand they\u2019re stuck and compromising both themselves and society . they know the boat of girlhood has sailed , which is never more apparent than at the heartbreaking climax where harper and allie actually find fort tilden .\n\u201cthe distress is authentic , \u201d harper ( bridey elliott ) says , describing a barrel on a beach , admiring its organically worn qualities in contrast to a similar barrel that she and bff allie ( clare mcnulty ) impulse - bought on a brooklyn street corner mere hours before . of course , that barrel now sits at the bottom of their stairs , devoid of umbrellas or whatever it is they feel like filling it with , while this one rests freely on the sand , a somehow superior bit of nothing . is it a spoiler to say that these two broke girls do in fact make it to fort tilden when the entire plot of \u201c fort tilden , \u201d insomuch as there is one , concerns their misguided day - long adventure to locate said beach ? perhaps it\u2019s a tad trite to say that the journey matters more than the destination , but in the case of sarah - violet bliss and charles rogers \u2019 comedy , it really does .\na few weeks ago , we received a press release for a film called fort tilden , a\ncomedy\nset to debut at sxsw . wading through an avalanche of cringe - inducing press releases is one of the drags of the job , but this one caught our attention when we realized our teeth were grinding audibly and blood was trickling from the corners of our eyes . the premise , it said , follows two williamsburg - based 20 - somethings struggling to get to the beach , coping with\ncreepy neighbors , unpredictable traffic patterns , indignant cabbies , and each other .\nwas it ironic ? tongue - in - cheek ? or just hideously stupid ? we couldn ' t tell . we couldn ' t look away . here ' s an excerpt , which has it all :\ndirectors sarah - violet bliss and charles rogers keep the timing brisk and have the taste to make even their whiniest , silliest characters deliciously whiny and silly . i loved the toxically dweebish neighbor ( neil casey ) , the dealer\u2013cult figure of prospect park ( peter vack ) , the pair of insufferably do - gooding teachers ( desiree nash and becky yamamoto ) , and the final foursome at fort tilden . there are so many trenchantly observed hipster types that it\u2019s a surprise when a bit actually misses .\njust as it\u2019s difficult to decide whether to like or hate harper and allie , it\u2019s hard to determine whether the end of \u201cfort tilden\u201d offers a moment of hope or resignation . as much as bliss and rogers are indicting the worst qualities of today\u2019s post - collegiate generation , they also seem interested in exploring how young people use cynicism or cruelty to deflect their own insecurity or fear of responsibility . when allie describes a song as \u201ctediously adorable , \u201d the intriguing contradiction is all - too fitting .\n\u201csometimes , you have to live a little to know who you are , \u201d one of the women says , but in \u201cfort tilden\u201d they can\u2019t seem to get that process started . by its end , they\u2019re perpetually trapped in a cartoonish loop of sophomoric indecisiveness . it\u2019s a blunt observation , made with far subtler touches in recent portraits of young new yorkers ranging from \u201ctiny furniture\u201d to \u201cappropriate behavior , \u201d but no precedent in this topical subgenre goes as much out of its way to make its subjects so incredibly contemptible .\nit\u2019s especially frustrating because the scenes that do work do so incredibly well\u2014and holistically speaking , the structure of this film is impeccable . the underlying theme of the clothing store scene is that harper and allie , both of whom seem to live at the pleasure of harper\u2019s rich father ( harper directly , and allie probably by not really having to pay rent ) , are giddy to find fashionable clothing at such low prices , while surrounded by women of color and working - class women . of course , by the time they get to the register , they\u2019re already second guessing the clothes they were so excited about only moments ago , and events later on in the film prompt them to abandon the garments altogether without a second thought . that they do so adjacent to a scene where they find a barrel on the beach that is identical to the one they purchased much earlier in the film , \u201conly it\u2019s naturally distressed , \u201d shows how well crafted the plot of this film is : everything is disposable for harper and allie ; they invest lots of meaning in their goals ( to get to the beach ; to have sex ; to make art ; to buy clothes ; to join the peace corps ) , but once they attain them they feel empty inside . they\u2019ve both learned that it\u2019s better to stay in the attainment process , permanently , because at least there\u2019s something to tell people you\u2019re working towards .\nit\u2019s difficult to create enjoyably unlikable characters ; a fine line separates hilarity and hostility . for all its bull - in - a - china - shop crassness , larry david \u2019s persona is a delicate thing to pull off well . with \u201cfort tilden , \u201d writer - directors sarah - violet bliss and charles rogers have created two women who are drawn so vividly and so viciously , they\u2019re hard to dismiss . and with great chemistry and \u2013 ultimately \u2013 vulnerability , co - stars bridey elliott and clare mcnulty bring them sharply to life .\nroommates harper ( bridey elliott ) , dim and mean , and allie ( clare mcnulty ) , dim and whiny , set off for the beach at fort tilden in the rockaways of new york ' s long island , hoping to meet up with a couple of cute boys . as harper and allie ' s journey becomes increasingly arduous \u2014 they ' re broke , their bikes are stolen and they ' re stranded without reliable cab service \u2014 their snarkiness reveals itself to be bitter and abusive , a stark contrast to their cutesy romper outfits .\namidst quarter - life crises , allie struggles to prepare for the peace corps , while harper awaits checks from her father to fund her artistic dreams . but the two friends quickly shun responsibilities for the day when a pair of good - looking guys invites them along for a carefree fort tilden afternoon . as the two young women board their bikes and embark on a lengthy journey to the beach , they quickly realize that , akin to their confusing , transitioning lives , they neither know where they\u2019re going nor how they plan to get there .\nthe golden venture\nby comic and mural artist christopher cardinale . the legend reads :\non jun 6 , 1993 , around 2am , the golden venture , a cargo ship carrying 286 refugees from the fujian province of china , ran aground on the beach at fort tilden . they had been at sea for 112 days on the boat operated by smugglers known as snakeheads . ten people drowned in their attempt to get to shore . for the survivors this was just the beginning of their efforts to seek asylum in the usa .\nand then they\u2019re off , wandering deeper and deeper into the bowels of brooklyn , whining and sniping at everyone in their reach . with its one - note progression , bill and rogers\u2019 straightforward narrative is oddly conventional in spite of the ongoing attempts to make harper and allie into utterly contemptible beings . at its best , the movie works like an indie riff on \u201cromy and michele\u2019s high school reunion , \u201d turning the plight of its clueless leads into an amusing romp in tune with their perspective . but \u201cfort tilden\u201d struggles to express their neuroses with much ingenuity .\n\u201cit\u2019s authentically distressed , \u201d says allie ( clare mcnulty ) of the barrel she and her friend harper ( bridey elliott ) find lying in the sand near the end of fort tilden . like so many lines in sarah - violet bliss and charles rogers\u2019 caustic comedy , it\u2019s a sharply double - edged observation . not only is the chipped wooden container in question more genuinely weathered than the one the women had already purchased as a conversation piece before beginning their trip to the beach , but allie\u2019s observation also stands as a piece of inadvertently pointed self - analysis .\nwhen we first meet harper and allie , they\u2019re trading insulting texts while enduring their friends\u2019 rooftop acoustic guitar performance , which is ( admittedly ) shrill and self - indulgent . but the night isn\u2019t a total waste : they end up meeting a couple of guys ( jeffrey scaperrotta and griffin newman ) whom they awkwardly flirt with and make tentative plans to meet the next day at the beach at fort tilden . ( awkwardness , by the way , is the name of the game throughout as the ladies stumble from one uncomfortable situation to the next \u2013 usually of their own making . )\nthroughout , harper and allie have been fighting an early assertion that they are basically twins , employing the argument that their personalities are so different that the distinctions are obvious . the film\u2019s end suggests that while each woman\u2019s interpretation of and explanation for her actions are wildly different from the other\u2019s , their actions ( or inactions ) end up being effectively the same . yes , the assertive one helps the spineless one be more assertive and the compassionate one helps the harsh one be more compassionate , but in fort tilden this typical character arc only serves to prove that harper and allie are the twins they\u2019ve been mocking . one romper is plain ; one\u2019s floral\u2014they\u2019re still just rompers , as a multitude of characters point out . the final scene puts a lovely button on all of this , but it\u2019s another example of how thoughtful and confident bliss and rogers can be as filmmakers . there\u2019s just a little too much chafe for the strong parts to overcome , even if those strong parts are really worth a viewing .\nlet\u2019s be honest : no one desperately needs another comedy about desultory twentysomething white brooklynites waiting for their grownup lives to begin . but fort tilden , the debut feature co - written and directed by sarah - violet bliss and charles rogers , showcases a satirical voice so dyspeptic it\u2019s almost endearing , never letting the abrasive lead characters - - or anyone else for that matter - - off the hook for their self - absorbed entitlement . a mini - road trip that nudges its protagonists outside of their bubble , where the portrait of generational inertia ain\u2019t pretty , this minor - key comedy of discomfort has a bittersweet bite .\nthe comedy stars clare mcnulty and bridey elliott as allie and harper , two millennials struggling with their quarter - life crises , who decide to blow off their responsibilities for the day to go to a secluded beach with two guys . throughout the film , allie procrastinates preparing to join the peace corps and harper waits for money from her father to pursue her unclear artistic dreams , all while facing new challenges along the way .\nthere\u2019s a wicked strain of equal - opportunity awfulness running through characters across multiple age ranges here , whether it\u2019s the smug gen - x parents of cobble hill , the self - justifying millennials or the obscenely confident late teens , next to whom 25 suddenly seems ancient . but the writer - directors and their cast maintain a light touch that prevents even their cruelest observations from curdling . one of fort tilden \u2019s strengths is that , even as harper and allie\u2019s respect for themselves and one another deteriorates , and the summer skies give way to cloudy chill in the final section , bliss and rogers never deny their affection for the characters .\nit\u2019s a shame that parts of the movie aren\u2019t as fleshed out as they might be , because it seems the filmmakers have some really interesting things to say about identity and responsibility . harper and allie do eventually make it to the beach , but by the time they get there their nerves have been frayed to the point where they lash out at one another , and this is before coming to the harsh realization that the two boys they were looking to hook up with aren\u2019t what they expected . then , in one of fort tilden \u2019s finest moments , the denouement sees allie growing a spine while cracks appear in harper\u2019s acerbic mask .\nthe first hour or so of the williamsburg comedy \u201c fort tilden \u201d is an endurance test . watching aimless hipsters harper ( bridey elliott ) and allie ( clare mcnulty ) snipe at each other and everyone around them is rather like being forced to listen to a loud and inane conversation between two nasty idiots on the bus . by the fifth time the two start whining about how they need coffeeeee soooooo baaaaad ( like , omg ) , you start hoping writer - directors sarah - violet bliss and charles rogers will do you a solid and have their defiantly unlikable characters hit by a truck . stat . unlikability is a tricky game .\nyet the filmmakers display such reckless confidence in their comedy that \u201cfort tilden\u201d can\u2019t help but nail its punchlines from time to time . elliot , in an effectively snotty performance , plays off mcnulty\u2019s pouty - eyed gaze with constantly bubbly results . the comedic high point arrives when the duo encounter a group of catty gay men \u2014 they deserve their own spin - off \u2014 who trade barbs with the women in the midst of a drug deal . the beach - set finale , in which one character makes an awkward pass at another while the drugs slowly kick in , effectively brings the various misconceived ingredients into a fully realized calibration of awkward humor .\nbefore that misadventure kicks off , \u201cfort tilden\u201d elaborates on its leading ladies\u2019 selfish existence : hoping to get lucky , the moody harper rearranges their apartment\u2019s furniture ( \u201ci want the place to be sex - ready , \u201d she asserts ) and makes a phone call to her millionaire businessman father , who offers to send her more money ; allie anticipates an upcoming trip to libera to join the peace corps while dodging texts from her superior ; she nabs a bike from the next door neighbor by taking advantage of his evident crush on her , rolling her eyes the whole time . the script never hesitates to remind us that we\u2019re watching monsters of privilege preying on everything around them .\nwhen harper ( bridey elliott ) , the petulant , chronically impulsive daughter of an affluent father , and allie ( clare mcnulty ) , her comparatively responsible but equally self - obsessed roommate , meet two guys at a rooftop party in williamsburg , brooklyn , they resolve to bicycle the next day to the fort tilden beach in queens to meet them . but en route , they encounter assorted distractions : an errand to score drugs , shopping opportunities , a failed quest for good coffee , a stolen bicycle , a fickle livery - cab driver and a bike collision with a baby carriage whose occupant has parents even more demanding than the young women . ( a concerned citizen is played by jarreau carrillo . )\nthough the characters leave something to be desired , both leads have a great deal of chemistry \u2014 at their best , allie and harper manage to suggest a sort of sociopathic romy and michele \u2014 and the actresses embrace their more loathsome qualities with an admirable lack of vanity . ( one scene even manages to challenge \u201cbefore midnight\u201d for the title of longest sustained unerotic topless scene . ) well photographed and edited , the film looks quite good for its budget , and manages to dig into all sorts of underexplored corners of the city .\nallie and harper ' s , um , journey starts out innocuously enough\u2014the opening scenes feature the two mocking their friends ' rooftop guitar performance via vitriolic texts , bandied between their cell phones as the the two sit wordlessly beside each other . but any initial sense of warmth or camaraderie between them ( and the viewer ) dissipates in the coming minutes . their interminable journey to the beach swiftly reveals both characters for what they are : helpless , whiny asshats , their indignation perpetual and their pouty lips curled into permanent moues of either rage or disgust . the film is around 1 . 5 hours\u2014the mouths of both harper and allie spend the entire time rankled .\nunlike the perceived losers and wannabes that surround them , these bored antiheroines are convinced they have the reins of their destinies in hand , their bond fortified by elliott and mcnulty\u2019s relaxed chemistry . harper feels sure that she\u2019s only one big idea and another handout from daddy away from taking the art world by storm , while allie is heading for liberia with the peace corps for two years before studying law or acupuncture or something . the shallowness of these half - baked growth plans is steadily exposed as they trek to the rockaways beach that supplies the film\u2019s title , intending to rendezvous with two guys from the party , russ ( jeffrey scaperotta ) and sam ( griffin newman ) .\n1 ) update your iphone 2 ) commit apostasy 2 ) craft six truly hilarious tweets 3 ) gain a rudimentary understanding of cricket 4 ) start a car fire 5 ) drown a litter of kittens .

( \u201c are you a hat person now ? \u201d he asks derisively of harper\u2019s style choice for the day . ) and on and on it goes through various neighborhoods on a palpably steamy late summer day in brooklyn .\nthis year\u2019s sxsw film festival is currently raging in austin , texas , complete with a packed slate that should keep festival attendees pretty happy in between bouts of chowing down breakfast tacos and basking in the good ol\u2019 texas sunshine . as ever , the festival features a strong lineup of both fresh premieres and festival favorites , new and returning stars , and plenty of opportunities for talent to break out on the festival stage . from filmmakers to actors ( and , sometimes , both at the same time ) , familiar faces looking to try a new craft to total newbies , this year\u2019s festival has plenty of stars on the rise to look out for ( ouch , so bright ) . read more : sxsw 2017 : 13 must - see films at this year\u2019s festival who\u2019s going to break out in a big way at this year\u2019s festival ? we\u2019ve got some ideas . ansel elgort , actor , \u201c baby driver \u201d if you\nbut long stretches of the movie lack ( funny ) jokes entirely , as if a punch - up writer only got around to 30 % of the dialogue . a mid - film shopping montage featuring harper and allie asking a series of rote questions about each other\u2019s style falls flat , like the brainstorm session for funny things williamsburg hipsters might say and do in a discount clothing store in a working - class brooklyn neighborhood got cut short in production and nobody thought to reschedule it . this lack of interesting content especially drags after a similarly limp scene in which harper and allie\u2014both of whom seem shallow and self - absorbed ; neither of whom seem stupid\u2014try to get iced coffee from a small bodega that clearly doesn\u2019t sell iced coffee , but also after an incredibly sharp and interesting moment where harper surveys the entire neighborhood only moments before and is \u201cinspired\u201d to start a new art project called \u201cdollhouse ghetto . \u201d this movie isn\u2019t afraid to hang its two main characters out to dry as horrible people , which makes it weird when it occasionally chooses to present them as merely stupid , often in the service of half - assed jokes in half - assed scenes ."]}

scottish society of scotland was founded in edinburgh in 1895 . its members are now spread over the main cities and towns of scotland . the society aims to foster contacts between the french and the scots and to develop their traditional friendship through educational , cultural and social activities . there is an eqivalent web site in\ndifferent varieties of tartan have been developed over the years . in some cases\nhunting\ncolours which were more muted as camouflage for hill -

jacobite period , when the duke of cumberland carried out what would be called\nethnic cleansing\ntoday . but the nature of the clan system was also evolving - the need to defend or the opportunity to attack clan territory was reduced and the movement of people around the country was growing . the relationship between the chief and his people was also changing as favoured chiefs were granted titles and sought to increase their own land ownership and wealth . nevertheless , the notion of\nbelonging\nis strong and to this day there are clan societies who keep members in touch with one another and clan gatherings on traditional clan territory , usually with a clan chief in attendance . and in the traditional areas where a clan originated , there is still likely to be a higher than usual incidence of that surname in the population .\nabout alexander robertson of struan , the 13th and last chief of his clan who fought in all three jacobite rebellions of the 17th and 18th centuries . tracing the rise and fall of a clan that mythologised its own importance as the world around them changed .\nthe scottish community foundation has been created to give people and organisations , around the world a means of supporting scotland . the web site invites visitors to join their international network to play a part in building an even better scotland . the foundation is a non - sectarian non - political charitable trust raising funds around the world , to help the work of charities in scotland .\nthe turbulent history of the families who lived on the border with england and the raiding tradition that was part of this violent society .\nstrictly speaking , the clan system was unique to the highlands . but try telling a douglas from the scottish borders or a wallace from ayrshire / renfrewshire that he or she does not belong to a\nclan\n! and if the wider meaning of\nclan\nas a member of an extended family is taken , then it becomes even more legitimate to use the term to apply to family names in all parts of scotland just as other symbols of the highlands ( kilts , tartan , bagpipes ) have similarly been adopted across scotland .\nin 1563 , the corpse of george gordon , the fourth earl of huntley , was tried and found guilty of treason . a bizarre end for a nobleman whose power and arrogance had earned him the title of ' the cock o ' the north ' . their prestige was resurrected by the sixth earl of huntley , whose intimate relationship with king james the sixth set tongues wagging and resulted in a jealous feud with a memorably bloody finale - the brutal murder of the bonny earl of moray .\nnot a lot !\nmac\nis from the gaelic word for\nson of\n. over the centuries it has been written as mac or mc or even m ' - the last version is more common in ireland . many scots emigrated to ireland at various points in history , hence the large number of scottish sounding names there , particularly in ulster , although of course the equivalent\nson of\nin irish gaelic has come through too in irish names . there are also variations and permutations on the use , or otherwise , of a capital letter after the\nmac\nor\nmc\n. in these days of computerised sorting , it is usual to use\nmac\nin every case .\nscott the story of the scotts ' journey from reivers to royalty . the scotts were once an ordinary borders family . today , they have become one of the greatest private landowners in britain through the canny determination of one of the most remarkable women in clan history . anna scott was no more than a girl when she became the duchess of buccleuch in the mid - 17th century . her marriage to the son of charles ii propelled the scotts into the first rank of british nobility - but it very nearly ended in disaster .\nremember most of our products are made to order so check times for this .\nrecounting the major contribution made by scots to the development of this australian city .\nthe word\nclan\nis derived from the scots gaelic word\nclann\nmeaning the children , offspring or descendants . not all surnames in scotland or even in the highlands became\nclans\n( indeed surnames only started to come into use in the 12th century ) . there is no hard and fast rule but a\nclan\nis usually of a sufficient size to have established a territory and is likely to have a clan chief .

hashmona purim party . left to right : barbara from brazil , ewelina from poland , david from usa ( dressed as an american tourist\u2026 ) , and kerri from texas ( dressed as a cowgirl ) .\nunfortunately , i don\u2019t find much time to write on my blog in a detailed way , which i\u2019m not happy about . but at least you will get an idea of what i do , see , and experience while i volunteer here at yad hashmona .\nlast night , there was another fire even closer that was just over the nearby hill / mountain . it kinda looked like a sunset . there was a red glow of smoke , never saw the flames . the village that was affected is called nataf . the story i heard is that a couple of nataf people saw some other people actually starting the fire ! they saw them throwing bottles with flammable materials out into the dry brush ! it ended up that the nataf people ( around 130 - 150 ) had to get lifted out of their village by helicopters and then got dropped off at neve ilan studios which is right next to yad hashmona . the people came to yad hashmona . the road to exit the village was blocked by fire . i was working in the kitchen at the time so i didn\u2019t get to see the helicopters . the nataf people ended up staying here at yad hashmona for the night since it wasn\u2019t safe to go back home . they had to evacuate earlier this week which when they were evacuating there were signs in nataf telling people not to go to yad hashmona because they are missionaries . so they went to abu ghaush instead . but this time yad hashmona was called during the fire and was asked if they could come to yad hashmona due to the immediate need . there\u2019s around 130 \u2013 150 people staying here at yad hashmona . many of them haven\u2019t gone back home since they can\u2019t drive on the sabbath . i saw three plains flying over the area this morning , probably putting out the last remnants of the fire . there were several dogs that came with the people . they are so cute ! they are missing their homes . \ud83d\ude26 you\u2019ll see a couple pictures below of the dogs . i will give any important details i may have missed or gotten wrong in my next post .\nthis is us volunteers at our christmas party . the lady sitting closest to the person taking the picture ( her back is to the camera ) is actually from hawaii . she is not a volunteer , but was just visiting her swedish volunteer friend here at yad hashmona .\nthis is me , floating in the water with no effort at all . you actually have to make an effort to submerge yourself , quite unlike regular water . i\u2019m holding a chunk of salt that we harvested from the shallows ! needless to say , we brought that back to yad hashmona .\nrobert downey ki tarah apni koi bhi photo ka background is tarah se koi bhi laga sakte hai , waise yad rahe background aap jo bhi lete hai wo apke photo aur background se match bhi karni chahiye aur dono ka brightness bhi comfortable lagna chahiye otherwise apki edit ki hui photo achhi nahi lagegi .\nhere\u2019s some more pictures from today . it\u2019s so beautiful this time of year here in israel at moshav yad hashmona . many flowers are blooming and lots of green grasses . sunshine is warm and slightly intense . i know spring is not far away , back in iowa , do have patience . \ud83d\ude42\nmy wonderful parents ! i could go on and on and on talking about what i appreciate about them and how they have supported me and encouraged me on in this life here on earth . love you dad and mom ! this picture is taken just outside their hotel room here at yad hashmona . \ud83d\ude42\nanother hanukkiah that was located in the reception of the yad hashmona hotel . from left to right , barbara ( brazil ) , zion ( south korea - my room mate ) , tiffany ( us citizen , grew up in france , plans to live in germany ) , and then yours truly \u2013 david .\nfriday the 11th ; i had previously suggested to uncle ralph that he could come to yad hashmona\u2019s brunch on a friday . we decided the 11th would work . he got to yad hashmona around 9 : 30 in the morning . we had a nice chat while eating brunch , then toured the biblical gardens , i showed him my dorm , and the moshav . while we were in the biblical gardens he so graciously took a couple pictures for me that had previously been requested by my mom . he left around 12 : 00 noon to head back to jerusalem . i worked from 2 to 10 : 30 that evening .\nimpairments in gait appear as early as four months of age , with abnormal paw positioning and a shorter stride than wild - type rats . reduced overall muscle tone was evident by eight months of age , with notable lack of strength in the hind - limb extensor , leading to the appearance of dragging hind limbs . in terms of ambulatory behavior , ko rats reared less frequently , but travelled equivalent distances to wild - type counterparts .\nthings are going well for me at yad hashmona . these past couple weeks have been pretty steady with no earth shattering events . the weather has been nice . it has been generally in the 50\u2019s the past while with the occasional rains days , cloudy days , and sunny days . it gets down in the 40\u2019s at night .\nthis trip took place last monday , nov . 28th . we ate breakfast at 7 : 00 a . m . and then met at the hotel reception here on yad hashmona at 7 : 30 to load up in the tour bus . we had a local man named tzuriel from the moshav who was are tour guide for the trip .\nheading back to yad hashmona . earlier we had all taken turns singing our respective national anthems which included the following countries ; america , taiwan , brazil , south korea , poland , germany , israel , venezuela , finland , ecuador , and someone sang the france anthem but there was nobody in our group representing france . was a good day .\nthis knockout rat model was created at sage labs ( now horizon discovery ) in collaboration with the michael j . fox foundation . the rat carries a disrupted park7 gene , which encodes the protein dj - 1 . homozygous dj - 1 ko rats develop motor impairments ( e . g . , gait , strength ) and loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra ; however , levels of striatal dopamine are high ( dave et al . , 2014 ) .\nlast thursday was thanksgiving ! i did have a wonderful time . there are some american students along with a couple canadian students here at yad hashmona that total around 33 people . they invited me and 4 other american volunteers to join them for a thanksgiving meal here at yad hashmona . the restaurant here on yad hashmona catered the meal . we had a fun time ! we had some thanksgiving trivia , sang songs , read scripture , and prayed . the meal contained turkey , mashed potatoes w / gravy , sweet potatoes , stuffing / dressing , green beans , salad , ice cream , and pies ( apple , pecan , & pumpkin ) . last but not least , one of the students had brought 5 lbs of candy corn from the states ! was a nice little treat . the thanksgiving meal was just not the same as the family thanksgiving meals of my past . i missed being with my family members and friends back home ! i did get to video chat with them alittle which was a nice treat . \ud83d\ude42 i finished my thanksgiving day by going to the gym in neve ilan which is just a 20 min . walk from yad hashmona . i worked out alittle , swam in the salt pool , and then sat in the sauna . i met up later with 4 other volunteers at the mall in mevaseret zion , ate a kosher mcdonalds burger , and then walked around the mall . there were black friday sales here in israel !\nlike ko : yad , arunachal pradesh\u2019s first filmmaker sange dorjee thondok\u2019s debut feature , crossing bridges , also zooms in on a local dialect and a remote tribe , the sherdukpen . the first person from his state to pass out of film school , thondok decided to make his first film in his own dialect in his own village of shergaon . however , unlike the trajectory depicted in borah\u2019s film , thondok focu\u00adses on a man\u2019s journey back to the fold . the film\u2019s protagonist , tashi , is a mum\u00adbai - based web designer who returns to his village after losing his job in the rec\u00adession . while waiting to hear from a new job , he slowly begins to reconnect with his lost identity and culture , something he had once derided . last heard , its theme mix of the local and the global has helped the film find a french sales agent .\nin her seventh feature , ko : yad , veteran assamese filmmaker manju borah decided to choose as subject the mishing tribe of assam , a community that lives and earns by the rivers . \u201cthere are many such communities and a variety of dialects spoken in the state . our cinema needs to bring them into focus to give a complete picture of the region , \u201d says borah . but her film is not just some ethnographic mapping . it is a subtle and universal tale of the clash between tradition and modernity . for paukam , the river brah\u00admaputra is a lifeline . it\u2019s this very life that his educated son migam doesn\u2019t want to be tied down to ; he leaves home and family to seek a better future . \u201cthere is a larger philosophy my film talks about , how there is nothing permanent in life and there are no people , possessions or relationships that you can hold on to , \u201d explains borah .\nthen the last evening of sukkot the people of moshav yad hashmona got together to sing and have a time of fellowship ( with snacks ! ) . us volunteers were invited to join as well . i stopped in a couple times to listen to the singing and to try the goodies . was a good time of fellowship . i was told that there\u2019s around 30 families living here on the moshav .\ni got a beautiful card from my grandma holly , i have it on display in the moadon ! i opened it the day i got it , just couldn\u2019t wait till christmas . \ud83d\ude42 the other thing next to the card is some art work various people did of the various volunteers here at yad hashmona . some of the people are no longer here . one of those faces are me\u2026guess which one\u2026ha ha ! \ud83d\ude42\ni sorta have mixed feelings about these last few days here at yad hashmona . it\u2019ll be good to get back home , but i\u2019ll miss many of the friendships i\u2019ve made here , and various other aspects of living in israel . but , home is where the heart is , right ! even though the land of israel is such an amazing place , i would say my heart is where my loved ones are located , and that would be in the usa .\ni hope all is well with those of you reading this ! god is blessing me with good health to carry out my duties here at yad hashmona . i don\u2019t think i told people back home other than immediate family , but i did get sick about 3 - 4 weeks ago . i came down with something , i don\u2019t know what it was exactly . i was able to work the following day , so it didn\u2019t stay around long at all . ptl\ni hope all is well . things are going well here ! life is full , many things to rejoice in , to learn , and to do ! i only have 22 more days till i go back home ! where has time gone ? i look forward to getting back home , but will truly miss being here at yad hashmona . i have made many friendships , rubbed shoulders with all kinds of people , and i have been shown things within my character that i can improve in .\ninterestingly , dj - 1 ko rats had more dopamine in the striatum than wild - type rats . levels were elevated two - to threefold at eight months of age . similarly , striatal serotonin levels were up two - to threefold . there were no significant differences in the overall rate of turnover for either transmitter ( dave et al . , 2014 ) . quantitative autoradiography revealed a higher density of dopaminergic receptors in the striatum . at eight months of age , dj - 1 kos had higher densities of all three receptor subtypes ( d1 , d2 , and d3 ) . the density of the dopamine transporter was unchanged ( sun et al . , 2013 ) .\ndec . 24th was a busy day for most of us volunteers here at yad hashmona . several of us worked in the morning , then in the evening the moshav youth and children put on a concert / christmas play . the first showing was for some guests they had , then the second showing was for the people of the moshav . several of us volunteers were given the opportunity to share some music . i played a couple piano duets with two young ladies from south korea , and then a group of us sang o come , o come emmanuel and ki ko ahav ( for god so loved ) . in the evening we had a party for us volunteers . we had put names in a hat earlier in the week and then whatever name we drew we got a gift that cost around 20 shekels ( $ 5 . 00 ) . so , we had fun giving our gifts . we played a little game of describing the person we had while the rest of the group tried to guess who we had . was allot of fun . \ud83d\ude42 this evening was also the lighting of the first candle of hanukkah . barbara ( has jewish heritage ) from brazil did the honors .\nnow that all the high holidays are over , things are slowing down here at yad hashmona . i plan to get a phone here in israel this coming week , maybe a prepaid phone or whatever other option is best . i have to send my cell phone back to the states to get repaired and then it\u2019ll get sent back to me . i\u2019m sad this happened , but it is what it is . i told myself to not let this ruin my time here in israel . i did get an adapter for charging my laptop . my laptop is thankfully in good health . \ud83d\ude42\nwe started the trip out by visiting har adar which isn\u2019t very far away from yad hashmona . sadly , it was very foggy as you\u2019ll notice in the pictures . there usually is a great view from the tower since it is located on top of a hill . i\u2019ll have to go back sometime to see what it looks like when there is no fog . har adar has recent history during some of the wars that israel has had . there were several battles between israel and jordan to gain control of this hill , 23 attempts to be exact ! israel finally gained control during the six day war .\nsaturday the 12th ; i worked in the morning from 7 : 00 till 2 : 00 p . m . after work , i went and checked email and then decided to go on a hike in a nearby park . on google maps it\u2019s called \u201cneve ilan forest\u201d . i had a wonderful time walking the trails and just being alone in nature ! was very refreshing mentally . physically , i got my workout . i had been told that there was an old ruins in the park . a volunteer told me to stay to the right when on the trails and i should be able to find it . i actually was able to find the ruins even though the signs were in hebrew . it was a gentle but steady downhill walk to the ruins except for the very end close to the ruins . took 1 hour to get there . you\u2019ll see in the pictures that an arab farmhouse had been built on top of the ruins . heading back to yad hashmona took 1 hour , but it was all mostly up hill . about 2 hours after getting back to yad hashmona , my legs started aching from the hike . it did feel good to get the blood moving again as well as feel the warm sunshine . \ud83d\ude42\nthat\u2019s all for now . i battle with finding time to keep this blog updated . there\u2019s always so many things to do here at yad hashmona . life is exciting here ! my parents are here visiting me now , they leave on the 10th . we have gone to a couple museums , the old city , several stores , the valley of elah , and the knesset just to name a few . i even got to see the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his wife getting on a helicopter leaving the knesset area . so , yes , lots of cool things to see and share about . keep your eye out for more pictures .\nfor new years eve . there was some festive scottish folk dancing here at yad hashmona that a couple put together . they taught us several group dance patterns which was lots of fun . there were many laughs since not all of us are used to dancing\u2026sometimes the guys are suppose to do one thing while the girls do another , and yes , every now and then a guy would do the wrong thing\u2026 haha they even tried to teach us a dance that you dance in couples , guy with girl , to be honest , that didn\u2019t go very well . i was confused the whole time ! i just had to laugh at myself !\nwe had a nice walk back tot he bus stop to head back to jerusalem . was very busy at the bus stop due to the fact that there were allot of arab students ( mostly young women ) headed back to jerusalem for the night . we didn\u2019t get on the first bus since it got filled up , but caught the second one . we got through the israeli check point just fine and we were off to jerusalem . after getting off the bus , my uncle ralph and i parted ways and i headed back to yad hashmona . needless to say , i went to bed earlier than normal . i was worn down , only was operating on 3 . 5 hours of sleep .\nfrom the red canyon we drove to eilat which was a just a few minutes away . we spent time soaking up the sun rays on the beach . before we left , a couple of us went swimming and looked at the colorful fish swimming in the water . people come to eilat to go snorkeling to see the fish and coral located in the clear waters . after we spent a few hours in eilat , we headed back to yad hashmona . got back around 9 pm . was a nice little vacation . had fun with the guys that went along , plenty of laughs , good memories , and yes , sometimes we bug each other , but at the end of the day , we are still friends . \ud83d\ude42\nisrael is fighting wildfires in hills around jerusalem and up around haifa and a few other places , hence the mixed feelings i\u2019ve been having . it\u2019s hard to rejoice when there are people loosing their belongings , etc . some of the fires are proven to be started by arson while other fires are from accident or flared up from previous fires , etc . i won\u2019t go much into detail since you can find stories in the news about the fires . last wednesday evening , we could see a wildfire a couple hills away . it was threatening a couple nearby towns . the people here at yad hashmona were a little nervous because the fire was slowly creeping our direction . they advised us volunteers to pack all our stuff in case we needed to evacuate later that night . we never had to evacuate , thank god . i did post some pictures of this fire on facebook .\nyom kippur was also a great experience here in israel . i had decided to fast along with the rest of the jewish people on yom kippur . for most , the fast started tuesday evening at sunset and then ended at evening on wednesday . they fast both food and water . was my first time to fast both . thankfully i had wednesday off work , so i didn\u2019t have to work during the fast . you\u2019ll notice in some of my pictures that people are wearing white . that is a tradition of some to wear white on yom kippur . i got to be apart of a worship time in the afternoon on wed . along with the group from revive israel that is based on yad hashmona . was such a neat experience . at one point they had a prayer time that everyone prayed in their own mother tongue . i had chills going up and down my back during that time ! was so amazing ! there were several people from different nations at this meeting . at sunset on wednesday evening the fast was broken and we ate a big meal .\nour journey\u2019s course \u2013 we started off by taking hwy 1 through the northern part of jerusalem and then continued all the way to jericho . we could see the dead sea at one point but did not stop to wade / swim . from hwy 1 we took 90 north all the way to the sea of galilee . we then drove along the eastern shore on 92 . the reason we went on the eastern side of the sea is due to the direction and strength of the wind that day , which was strong enough that many of the boats were docked on the eastern side . after stopping in kibbutz ein gev to ride on a boat , we went all the way to the northern shore to visit the ruins of capernaum . from capernaum we visited the mount of beatitudes which was basically \u201cnext door\u201d . after that we headed all the way back down past kibbutz ein gev and then slightly over into the golan heights to hamat gader ( hot springs ) . we got to enjoy the hot springs and look at the alligators and other wildlife that are raised there . after two hours , we headed back to yad hashmona .\ni got to the old city and entered through the jaffa gate . truly was a wonderful experience walking through the old city . i walked down david\u2019s street which is a street for just walking lined with vendors . at one point i turned off of that street and walked in another direction . i didn\u2019t have a map with me so i wasn\u2019t sure where i was in the old city . then i started reading signs , which helped . i headed towards the wailing wall . you\u2019ll see pictures of my first view of the temple mount . later i ran into 5 other volunteers in the wailing wall area , and we decided to go up on the temple mount . i\u2019m not going to take the time this time to describe all of what i was feeling and experiencing during this time in the old city , but it was truly a wonderful experience . hard to imagine that i was actually there . later that evening i went to king of kings again for a congregation meeting . i was super tired during the service that i actually fell asleep for a few seconds . walking all day in jerusalem and then sitting down in a service made it very difficult to stay awake ! but i made it . then the other volunteers and i went back to yad hashmona .\nthe volunteer\u2019s trip was on the following tuesday the 25th . we ate breakfast at 7 : 00 am . and left at 7 : 30 on a bus headed to the herodium ruins . i really enjoyed this place because of the spectacular view of the surrounding hills from on top of the herodium ruins ! we had a tour guide , tsuriel from moshav yad hashmona , that guided us around giving us detailed information about the site and the events that happened around herodium when it was in operation . there was three things that really came into perspective while we were there and they were as follows ; 1 ) you can see both bethlehem and jerusalem in the distance . what stood out to me is the fact that they are pretty close to each other ( 4 . 4 miles apart ) . 2 ) from herodium you can see the hills that david would have taken the sheep out to graze . he would have also played on these hills with his friends , and this is also where the bear and lion attacked the sheep . 3 ) herodium is one of the places that herod the great would spent time in just to have quiet time away from the crowds in jerusalem . he is the one that would have given the order to kill all the male babies in bethlehem and the surrounding area to hopefully kill the king of the jews . you would have been able to hear the cry of the mothers from the top of herodium as their infants were being slaughtered !\nbaandhon produced by the assam state film corporation and directed by jahnu baruah has also won the rajat kamal as the best assamese film .\n, jahnu baruah expressed his

stuck to our own local channels and rarely see other language channels , unless we are from multi - lingual background .\nsome channels like dd bharati and dd nationals and some others do show award winning regional films but quite often they ' re at very late hours . . .\nearlier , when dd used to air local films we could get to see them . now with so many channels screaming for attention , we just don ' t feel like watching tv . most commercially non viable films don ' t even get screened in theatres . thanks for the review , even if we don ' t watch these movies we can at least get to know what is happening in different parts of the country .\nagree . rarely one gets to catch a quality non commercial film on tv these days . even when they ' re shown they ' re slotted so late in the

to - face with his accuser \u2014 the man responsible for sending him to prison for 39 years .\njackson was fresh out of jail , and tears of joy had barely dried following his 2014 exoneration for a 1975 murder conviction . the state\u2019s key witness \u2014 ed vernon , just 12 years old at the time \u2014 testified that he saw jackson with two others gun down a man outside a corner store . but after nearly four decades , vernon recanted , explaining that police intimidated him into testifying , and all three innocent men were freed . jackson became the longest - serving exoneree in u . s . history , and he was about to look into the eyes of the man who put him behind bars yet ultimately helped set him free .\n\u201cwhen vernon entered the chapel that day , ricky walked up to him , hugged him , and whispered in his ear , \u2018i forgive you . i want you to live a good life , \u2019\u201d writes godsey . \u201cricky then continued to hold him while vernon sobbed in his arms . ricky later told me that as vernon sobbed , he became lighter in ricky\u2019s arms , and vernon gradually began to stand more upright . a physical transformation occurred before ricky\u2019s eyes , as vernon\u2019s burden began to dissipate . \u201d\nthe burden of knowing innocent men and women are sitting in prison is something godsey has become all too familiar with over the last 14 years since starting at the ohio innocence project ( oip ) at uc in 2003 .\nto date , the oip in uc\u2019s lois and richard rosenthal institute for justice has freed two dozen wrongfully convicted inmates from ohio prisons who together had served more than 450 years for crimes they did not commit .\nfeatured in a 10 - page time magazine feature in february , the oip has become one of the most active and successful innocence projects worldwide .\nand along the way , godsey \u2014 himself a former federal prosecutor \u2014 has had a front - row seat to the psychology and politics that lead to wrongful convictions .\nwhen his book debuts , godsey hopes readers will better understand why an increasing number of innocent people are walking out of prison after spending most of their lives locked up for crimes they didn\u2019t do .\nricky jackson holds the 1975 mug shot police took of him when he was booked as a teenager . photo / lisa ventre\n\u201cthe discovery of hundreds if not thousands of wrongful convictions in the past 25 years should be viewed by the criminal justice system as indicative of a disaster , \u201d writes godsey . \u201ca mass disaster . \u201d\naccording to the national registry of exonerations , nearly 2 , 000 people have been set free for crimes they didn\u2019t do since 1989 . still , godsey says most of the american public remains in a \u201cfog , \u201d oblivious to how the system is stacked against defendants who don\u2019t stand a chance if police , prosecutors or judges have what he refers to in his book as \u201ctunnel vision , \u201d a premature conclusion of guilt .\nmark godsey discusses a case in the ohio innocence project space at the uc college of law . photo / lisa ventre\nin chapter after chapter , godsey calls into question a criminal justice system that he says is rife with human error , from junk science forensics to simple human bias . as a former prosecutor , godsey says he views his book as both a memoir and a confessional .\n\u201ci look back , and i see that i did things that i don\u2019t agree with now , \u201d he says . \u201ci would love it if prosecutors and police officers read this book . it is not an attack on them . we take certain roles , and we lose our humanity in the process . i did that myself . \u201d\ngodsey says police and prosecutors are under great pressure to solve heinous crimes , and the politics , he says , all too often cloud the process and lead to mistakes or overreaches .\neven when a miscarriage of justice has been brought to light by oip investigations , he says , officials in the system often remain in such denial that they purposely stand in the way of correcting mistakes .\n\u201cas an innocence lawyer and activist , i have routinely witnessed the unjust behavior of police , prosecutors and even judges and how this behavior has caused untold pain to thousands of innocent people suffering at the hands of the system , \u201d godsey writes .\ngodsey\u2019s eyes were first opened in 2001 after he joined the law faculty at northern kentucky university and filled in for a professor who oversaw the kentucky innocence project . students were reporting on an inmate in prison for rape whom they suspected was innocent .\n\u201ci sat there and listened to their description and internally rolled my eyes , \u201d he writes in his book . \u201c\u2018how naive , \u2019 i thought . what a bunch of gullible , bleeding - heart law students . \u201d\nwhen the dna test came back , however , the man was exonerated and released after 13 years in prison . \u201cthis was , needless to say , an eye - opening experience for me , the prosecutor\u2019s prosecutor , \u201d shares godsey . \u201ci was shocked . \u201d\nsoon after , he attended the national innocence network conference , and by the time he left , he saw everything in a brand new light . \u201cthere were problems in the system which i , as a prosecutor , should have seen , but i had simply been in denial . \u201d\nthe next year , godsey got a job at the uc college of law and began directing the oip , founded a year earlier by local lawyers , including john cranley , currently mayor of cincinnati .\ngodsey\u2019s group has helped free 23 men and one woman since those early days , and those cases represent only a sliver of the thousands they have examined .\nthe oip \u2014 resembling a mini law firm in the uc college \u2014 is made up of students , a few staff attorneys and an administrative assistant . they receive more than 500 inquiries a year from prisoners or family members looking for help . tall stacks of boxes indicate the volume of work .\ngodsey compares their caseload to a massive conveyor belt with holes in it . \u201cthey are all moving along in the beginning , then some start falling through the holes , \u201d he says .\nmany inquiries get kicked early for obvious reasons : the inmate is not from ohio , or they did the crime , but they disagree with the sentence . in hundreds of cases , inmates are sent a 23 - page questionnaire . some never return it , and even more cases melt away as oip staff members dig into the details and discover claims of new evidence or a new witness that never pan out .\nin other instances , oip attorneys push for dna testing only to confirm a client actually is the murderer or rapist the state said he was .\n\u201cin a lot of our cases , our investigation confirms they are guilty , \u201d says godsey . \u201ci always tell our students that is the best answer you can hope for . if you are sitting around hoping that the system made a mistake and the true perpetrator has been out on the street committing more crimes , you are sick . \u201d\noip students hard at work at the uc college of law . photos / lisa ventre\nultimately the oip ends up representing roughly 2 percent of individuals who ask for help . that\u2019s about 10 out of every 500 . yet , despite the grind of sifting through cases that often go nowhere , it\u2019s the wins that keep them motivated to press on , says oip staff attorney and uc grad jennifer bergeron , jd \u201902 .\n\u201conce you read the heartbreaking letters we receive , investigate a case and find evidence showing that someone is sitting in prison , often for life , for something they did not do , you can\u2019t walk away , \u201d she says . \u201cit\u2019s an incredible honor and burden to represent someone who the justice system has failed . \u201d\ngodsey points out that his students and staff are driven by social justice . \u201cthey are people who work for passion , \u201d he says . \u201cit is a tough job . these are true do - gooder type personalities who are willing to make less money , work longer hours and have a sometimes demoralizing and frustrating job because that is the only way they would have it . \u201d\nthe victories bring what godsey calls the \u201ckodak moments , \u201d when the media surfaces to get footage of an inmate taking his first careful steps out of prison \u2014 free for the first time in decades .\nbut godsey prizes the more intimate moments , like when he was driving with his two young children in 2005 and his cellphone rang . the call was from the ohio attorney general\u2019s office , the top law official in the state of ohio , to inform him that the state would stand alongside the oip and support the case to get a man exonerated . that man , clarence elkins , had been in prison more than seven years .\nelkins had been given a life sentence for allegedly raping and murdering his mother - in - law and raping his 6 - year - old niece , who told police the perpetrator looked like her uncle clarence . though elkins had an alibi and all the physical evidence pointed to his innocence , he was convicted . the oip proved through dna testing that elkins was not the perpetrator and even positively matched the dna to the true culprit , a convicted child rapist who had lived just two doors down from where the crime was committed . in an incredible twist , the real killer happened to be in jail for another crime and was in the same facility . elkins was able to collect the man\u2019s cigarette butt and mail it to the dna lab .\nformer ohio attorney general jim petro visited campus after the 2005 clarence elkins case . elkins is listening in the background . petro explained to uc law students why he took a stand with the oip and against state prosecutors to exonerate elkins . photo / dottie stover\nopposed by the judge and the prosecutor at every turn , godsey eventually turned to the state attorney general .\n\u201cwhen i got the call , i got emotional and had to pull over to the side of the road , \u201d says godsey . soon after , he received copies of letters from the state office declaring their intentions to join the case . \u201ci drove straight to prison to see clarence and tell him the news . i held up the two pieces of paper on the glass during the prison visit . he read it . it was just a very emotional moment . \u201d\nthe wins for uc\u2019s oip haven\u2019t only involved escorting free men and women from lockup . the oip was also behind senate bill 77 , a piece of ohio legislation passed in 2010 that set statewide standards for retaining biological evidence , taking dna in felony arrests and establishing new procedures for police lineups . godsey is also a leading figure in the international innocence scene and often travels to other countries to speak or help networks get off the ground .\n\u2014 mark godsey ( pictured in this associated press image at left with ricky jackson and oip staff attorney brian howe the moment jackson was exonerated . )\nasked where the innocence movement is headed , godsey says it should be viewed much like the civil rights movement .\n\u201c we are at the beginning of a many decades - long movement that\u2019s going to transform the criminal justice system , \u201d he says . \u201cbecause of advances in psychology and because of the innocence movement , we are realizing there are a lot of things we can do differently to make the system more accurate . this is going to win out because there is no debate on the merits . you are just fighting people whose minds are closed because it has been done this way for centuries . \u201d\nlike civil rights , he says , there won\u2019t be a eureka moment where somebody stands up and convinces everybody .\n\u201cthese battles are won by activists continuing to holler and scream , \u201d he says . \u201cthis is going to take people working and educating and talking for decades and decades . \u201d\nthe ohio innocence project has received an unprecedented honor \u2013 a feature in time magazine\u2019s special edition examining wrongful convictions . the issue , which is anticipated to sell over a half a million copies , was recently published ( feb 2017 ) and is available at newsstands across the country .\n\u201ci\u2019m thrilled that time has dedicated an entire issue to the innocence movement , which demonstrates the enormous impact it has had on our criminal justice system , \u201d says godsey . \u201cwe at oip are honored to have been highlighted as a central player in what is now becoming a global human rights movement . and we are thankful to the university of cincinnati and our many donors for making it all possible . \u201d\nthe issue , \u201cinnocent : the fight against wrongful convictions , \u201d takes a look at 25 years of the innocence movement . the ohio innocence project ( oip ) is highlighted with a multi -

- the first black officer anyone in the movie has ever seen .\ni won\u2019t go into all of the details , but it happens in many more instances , like his mother believing he is home to stay , that shura is enagaged , a soldier sending gifts home to a wife he believes is loyal , all the way down to alyosha running up to a train he thinks is the one that shura is on . none of these beliefs are true , but the characters in the movie live their lives and make their next decisions based on these beliefs . it follows over and over : disappointment , adjustment ; a nice surprise , adjustment , etc .\nwas one of the defining films of the era . like the films before it , it respects and reveres authority figures and idealizes the salt - of - the - earth workers of the great soviet nation , but it also casts its gaze beyond the ideals to explore the more human dimensions . in one of the most delicate scenes , a veteran who lost his leg is afraid to return home to his wife . with his unending optimism and faith in the spirit of the soviet people , alyosha helps him along and quietly and respectfully observes the tender reunion . and while his romantic interlude with the young stowaway is perfectly chaste ( they don ' t even kiss ) , there is a hunger in his eyes as , hidden behind a haystack , he watches her fix her stockings . such a suggestion of sexual desire would have been unthinkable just a couple of years before .\nduring world war ii , the nineteen year -

eyed and , eventually , exceedingly vulnerable . i can ' t say whether it was the failure of the beach that did it , but dicaprio has never been this adventurous on screen since . and he ' s certainly never been this risky when it comes to selecting projects .\nin it felt like love , there was at least the suggestion of a slightly skewed and stylized approach being taken to the narrative world of the film , enough to excuse some of the less viable decisions in the plot and of its characters as an extension of the theoretical course that hittman had chosen to explore . but beach rats , at least with regard to its writing , feels like an approximation of typical ameri - indie realism . by that standard , the film\u2019s narrative world is inchoate , and its characters\u2019 psychologies too tidy\u2014right down to bookending sequences of frankie watching the coney island fireworks , and the contrasting emotions that both scenes are blatantly intended to evoke .\naccording to the script , they needed a clearing on the beach large enough to play football , so they bulldozed a whole heap of the native trees and vegetation . also to get the right look , they planted so many of non -

of - age drama\ncome and see .\ndirecting with an angry eloquence , he taps into that hallucinatory nether world of blood and mud and escalating madness that francis coppola found in\napocalypse now .\nand though he draws a surprisingly vivid performance from his inexperienced teen lead , klimov ' s prowess is his visual poetry , muscular and animistic , like compatriot andrei konchalovsky ' s in his epic\nsiberiade .\nbecause i think the power of our show and the way we tell it is undeniable ,\nhe replied .\ni think it ' s important for everyone to see a show like ours .\nflew to la for the day for the first table read of season 8 !\nferguson posted on instagram .\nso great to see my modern family !\nurltoken is your guide to what to see and what to avoid at the movies , as well as a window into all aspects of global cinema , classic movies , music , culture , politics , poster art , dvds , vod , and news .\ncome and see has been described as\nan epic of derangement\n. during the harrowing 142 minutes of the film , we follow teenage florya ( alexei kravchenko ) as he is taken off by partisans fighting in the woods of belarus in 1943 . they disappear , and he is left to wander , gun in hand , until he rejoins them at the end as a hardened , active participant . florya ' s ordeal turns his hair grey and puts wrinkles on his young face .\nmagic realism : several sequences are implausible and downright surreal , and intentionally so .\nnot all movies are meant to be enjoyable , and some fall more obviously into the category of art than entertainment . though no one could possible describe the experience of watching \u201ccome and see\u201d as a fun time , the film is nonetheless a masterpiece , worthy of consideration as not just the best war movie ever made , but also one of the greatest films ever made period . the following are just ten of the reasons why its legacy should be so honored :\nbastards ( 2006 ) also draws on the experience of young soldiers , and like come and see it caused controversy . despite being awarded best film at the russian mtv awards in 2007 , the presenter vladimir menshov refused to hand over the envelope , objecting to the film ' s anti - soviet propaganda . in a plot that mirrors robert aldrich ' s the dirty dozen ( 1967 ) , boys aged 14 and 15 are released from prison and trained to destroy a german oil depot deep in the carpathian mountains . the film was so widely criticised that the russian federal security service issued a press release saying their archives had no evidence of criminal teenagers being used in second world war missions . while flyora ' s trauma in come and see was largely due to the experience of nazi brutality , in bastards the motley band of boys face a further trial : an assault on their identity . subject to the same threat of mortality faced by regular soldiers , these criminals must fight to become a part of the red army ' s heroic collective while remaining as outsiders . their charge is to fight for a country that has rejected them and undergo the existential threat of being comrades cast aside . the film ' s collective coming - of - age centres on kot ( aleksandr golovin ) and tyapa ( sergei rychenkov ) as they brave frontline action with fists and rudimentary weapons . unlike in come and see , where flyora ' s composure becomes increasingly debilitated , the breakdpwn suffered by the \u201cbastards\u201d is offset by their evolving physical prowess .\nthis year looks to be a major one for ovo as drake has his sights set on an april release for views from the 6 , dvsn & apos ; s debut album is scheduled for an april 1 release , and majid jordan already dropped their self -

year - old sasha ( aleksey kopashov ) narrates the defence of a key fortress against the wehrmacht during the opening stages of operation barbarossa in 1941 . the film is a relentless portrayal of the german ' s blitzkrieg assault , and yet it fails to pause long enough to allow for an insight into sasha ' s shifting mindset . as in come and see there is a panorama of violence , where bombs reign , limbs are blown asunder and germans machine - gun helpless civilians . but it ' s ironic that in never allowing this violence a reprieve , the damage done to sasha ' s psyche is kept at a distance . rather than achieving a balance between sasha ' s interior life and the eruption of wild butchery , the brest fortress skews far too heavily towards battle scenes alone . at the close of the film sasha is changed but not in the irreversible way experienced by flyora in klimov ' s depiction of the war .\nas seen through the eyes of teen - aged protagonist alexei kravchenko , the landscape of byelorussia is devastated by the incursion of nazi troops in 1943 . the genocide perpetrated on the citizens of this region is almost secondary to the rape of the region itself . despite his disillusionment with humanity , florya ( kravchenko ) emerges from his experiences vowing to survive no matter what comes - - and in so doing , personifies a resilience and dignity . come and see , originally released as idi i smorti , was the winner of the grand prix at the 1985 moscow film festival .\nwhat sets come and see apart from other war films is its portrayal of children succumbing to madness . after flyora learns that his family has been slaughtered he is overcome by an interior rupture and tries to bury his head in a patch of muddy earth . but the hope of erasing his trauma is impossible , and klimov underscores flyora ' s psychological breakdown with the use of sound . oleg yanchenko ' s score is merciless , filled with the discordant hum of machines that build into a dystopian symphony of broken waltzes and primal screams . along with the parading of cows and the crowing of unseen birds in the forest canopy , there is an unflagging accretion of noise .\nthe movie itself is great , the dvd is crap . the movie by itself is really a must see . no other war film really compares in showing the horrors of war without glorifying any of it .\nthe terrible central event of ' ' come and see , ' ' which takes up about a quarter of the 2 - hour , 22 - minute soviet movie now at the bleecker street cinema , is the burning of a byelorussian village by german invaders in 1943 . a line on the screen tells us that hundreds of villages in the soviet republic east of poland were destroyed , their people annihilated . the history is harrowing and the presentation is graphic ; you feel it through your body as villagers are packed into a barn to be incinerated .\nfind interviews with the cast and crew , event coverage , exclusive images and other superfan essentials .\ni must not describe the famous sequence at the end . it must unfold as a surprise for you . it pretends to roll back history . you will see how . it is unutterably depressing , because history can never undo itself , and is with us forever .\nthe events portrayed in come and see have been drawn from at least three separate books by ales adanovich ( who also worked on the screenplay ) , so that , as philip strick put it ,\nwhat has been reconstructed is a symbolic tragedy , drawing together a multiplicity of terrible episodes into one condensed nightmare .\nindeed , an end credit tells us that there were 628 perekhodys in byelorussia , but new evidence unearthed since the fall of the soviet union suggests there were far more . likewise a good deal of recent work emanating from germany itself\u2014and , in particular , a major exhibition in hamburg in 1995\u2014has cast a great deal of doubt on the conventional view that atrocities on the eastern front were carried out by the ss and various ill - assorted non - german nazis , whilst the professional wehrmacht got on with the job of being ordinary soldiers . so whilst it may indeed be the case , as some critics have complained , that come and see will do little to foster good east - west relations , its representation of german soldiery in byelorussia as glorying in the most vile and degraded behaviour imaginable , at least has the virtue of historical accuracy , and of puncturing the assiduously cultivated myth of the dutiful wehrmacht .\nwhen the partisans come to florya ' s village to recruit him , they are disguised as german soldiers , and the villagers greet them with food . likewise , when the einsatzgruppe arrives in perekhody later in the film , the inhabitants welcome them as liberators , believing that they will take them to germany .\na catholic primary religious education programme for foundation and key stages 1 and 2 published in july 2012 .\ncome and see ' s legacy of portraying the psychological damage of war on children has influenced numerous other films since the soviet union ' s demise . during the noughties particularly , directors and producers looked back to klimov ' s film for how to reinvigorate portrayals of the great patriotic war . aleksey kravchenko , who played flyora , was cast again in the star ( 2002 ) as the determined sergeant anikanov . now 17 years older , the actor ' s fresh - faced pallor in come and see has hardened , as germans advance along the polish border in 1944 . rather than focus on a single protagonist , director nikolai lebedev follows a group of scouts \u2014 nicknamed \u201cghosts\u201d \u2014 behind enemy lines . although the group moves through a maze of marshes and thick foliage as flyora did , the viewer is never allowed the intimacy of their individual experience . this dilutes the characters ' trauma and elevates the red army ' s heroism as a whole . it makes for a peculiar experience to encounter a film produced in the post - soviet era that offers little more than the generic tropes of old soviet triumphalism . while the star portrays the experience of children and young men on suicide missions , their psychological trauma is opaque , reduced to the kind of party - line martyrdom evident in chapayev ( 1934 ) and zoya ( 1944 ) \u2013 films that embraced the tidy storytelling of socialist realism .\nthis is a film that shows the second world war in rural microcosm and is shocking in its artless savagery . key is a sequence that shows the burning of civilians in a village church , the use of non - professionals as nazis and victims only adding to its grotesque matter - of - factness . that it ends with a nod to dziga vertov ' s surreal soviet classic man with a movie camera , by running actual war footage back to the birth of hitler , shows klimov ' s poetic intent ; though its people and landscapes are russian , come and see is not bound or defined by those things , rather it is a profound , universal and deeply subjective film whose only purpose is to bear witness to war as a form of collective insanity . damon wise\nfr . philip hall explores the readings and services of the church and relates them to everyday christian life .\nit follows on from successful trialling in schools in england and wales and is based on the theological foundations of the second vatican council , the catholic catechism and the revised re curriculum directory and includes the catholic attainment levels .\ncome and see is set in byelorussia in 1943 , and tells the story of german atrocities against the population through the eyes of a young boy , florya , who , at the start of the film , joins the partisans . whilst he is away his entire village , including his mother and little sisters , are butchered by the germans . returning with a partisan girl , glasha , he discovers the awful truth , an event which virtually unhinges him . roaming through the bleak byelorussian countryside with an everdwindling band of displaced people , he eventually witnesses the german destruction of the village of perekhody and the slaughter of its inhabitants\u2014an event from which he narrowly escapes with his own life . the german unit responsible is caught and destroyed by the partisans , whom florya , now aged almost beyond recognition by his terrible experiences , rejoins .\na very unusual movie for a western audience : ww2 as seen from the soviet perspective . a young boy digs up a rifle from a soldier ' s grave and runs off to join the partisans , huge groups of irregular soldiers backing up the red army . it has that ' realist ' quality that seems typical of soviet cinema . for example , during a bombing raid , a bomb explodes some distance from the boy , damaging his hearing . from that point on the sound in the movie is muffled . at first i thought there was a problem with the tv but soon realised it was an effect by the director . towards the end of the movie he ( and we ) starts to get his hearing back . i remember when i first saw this movie on tv in the 1980s and was quite taken by this - and i didn ' t see the idea copied in a western war movie until perhaps the realism of ' saving private ryan ' towards the end . ' come and see ' is rather long - two hours , and at points it can be hard to follow what ' s going on , soldiers all over the place , running everywhere , are they coming or going ? but i suppose the director wanted us to see war as being like that - moments of total confusion where we have no idea what ' s happening , except that it ' s all bad , and we just want to keep our heads down and stay alive ! in that respect it reminded me a bit of the ( much later ) terernce malick ' s\nthin red line\nwhen the marines overrun the japanese camp and everyone ' s just running and yelling and hitting and stabbing without apparent rhyme or reason .\ncritic and film historian cole smithey is available for speaking engagements , radio and television appearances , teaching opportunities , film festival juries , seminars , and other film related events .\nsign up for a fanalert and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nthe classicism is in no small part down to coppola and cinematographer gordon willis ' genius decision to shoot it with a minimum of modern film -

tinged quality .\nsuch a departure from his point of view doesn ' t let us off easy . all he sees is horror , and all he doesn ' t see is horror , too . later florya finds himself in a village as nazi occupiers arrive . there is a sustained sequence as they methodically round up all the villagers and lock them into a barn . the images evoke the holocaust . as he ' s shoved in as part of the seething crowd , florya ' s eyes never leave the windows high above the floor . by now his only instinct in life has become to escape death . parents and children , old people and infants , are all packed in . the nazis call for any able - bodied men to come out . the fathers stay with their families . florya scrambles out a window and watches as the nazis burn down the barn , its locked double doors heaving from the desperation inside . this is a horrifying scene , avoiding facile cutaways and simply standing back and regarding .\nif psycho ( see next entry ) was hitchcock ' s big shocker , then vertigo is the one that gets properly under your skin . with james stewart ' s detective stalking kim novak ' s mysterious woman , witnessing her suicide , then becoming obsessed with her double , it ' s certainly disturbing and most definitely ( as the title suggests ) disorientating . in the most artful and inventive way .\ncome and see ,\nan impassioned , pastoral indictment of the nazis , haunts us with its painterly after - images of world war ii as seen through a 14 - year - old farm boy ' s eyes . alexei kravchenko , who has never acted before , plays florya , the innocent destroyed . he ' s the soviet charlie sheen , if you will , a familiar figure in war lore , but he suffers with an agony torn from his russian core . he was , in fact , hypnotized during filming to aid him in his physical transformation from an apple - cheeked waif to a wizened , hollow - eyed witness of genocide .\n5 . was this the first movie where aliens played a major role , but we did not see any aliens ? or wait : there were no actual aliens , and it was just humanity in the future , right ? either way : cooper is definitely revealed to be space ghost , supplying his daughter ( and his younger self ) with information . how is that not a cap - p paradox ?\nbut as david mamet once observed , if you come out of a film only admiring its cinematography , then you have probably been sitting through a lousy film . that ' s certainly true of death in venice , which is a lot of window -

free philip glass / godfrey reggio project koyaanisqatsi is one of the most original movies of the last 30 years . south pacific and all that jazz both make singin ' in the rain look like the empty spectacle it is . try , also , the rapture , a weirdly wonderful film about religious cults by michael tolkin ( who wrote the player ) , max reinhardt ' s a midsummer night ' s dream , terence davies ' s masterful trilogy and my personal greatest of all time , elem klimov ' s come and see , a 1985 russian war epic that makes apocalypse now look lightweight .\na beautiful german woman listens to opera music and eats lobster in her car while the village burns around her ( perhaps a visual mockery of supposed aryan \u201ccivility\u201d ) . it\u2019s the bizarre touches like these that help burn the scene into our memory , as if showing just general mayhem would be too basic . what klimov is after is something more impressionistic , punctuating the atrocities with images so weird and inexplicable that they almost come off as obscene , given their context .\nthough intimately concerned with atrocity , come and see also contains scenes of rare tenderness and beauty , whose enigmatic quality has been somewhat obscured by the more obvious primary carnage . the scene already cited of florya and glasha in their fir forest hideaway immediately cuts to the rapturous episode of these momentary babes in the wood deliriously shaking the trunks of sunlit trees to make rain fall , so they can refresh themselves . florya lashes his bare chest vigorously with foliage to enliven his flesh , recalling max von sydow \u2019s character in bergman \u2019s the virgin spring . glasha dances happily on a log for her new companion . in her clinging rain - soaked bottle green dress she blooms with the reckless vitality of youth and seems in that instant impervious to horror . here in the bucolic forest glade that has somehow repulsed the earlier intrusion of bombs , something is forged through light , sound and visual effects resulting in an emotively engaged visionary force which defies rationality . another moving moment easily overlooked comes earlier in the film when florya , obliged to strip and climb into the cooking pot at the camp to scrub it with fir fronds is approached by glasha who holds a posy of simple woodland flowers . the naked boy , trapped in his lowly position crouches embarrassed , helpless . she laughs and casts the flowers over him . klimov rests his lens a while on the child florya pathetically anointed with blooms like some sacrificial lamb seasoned for the inferno to come .\nprogrammers certainly have to understand recursion . even if you never write a single recursive function , you won\u2019t really understand what a function call is until you can see what happens when it calls itself . but that\u2019s treated as an \u201cadvanced\u201d skill , when really it\u2019s not all that difficult , merely unfamiliar .\nvergara also posted adorable photos with her tv hubby ed o ' neill , and her sons , actors rico rodriguez and jeremy maguire .\nwith marvel\u2019s \u2018phase one\u2019 -

buzzing stench of death and social decay hangs over the picture ' s constant volley between neo - realistic , formal , and documentary styles that klimov uses to convert as wide a range of specific wartime experience as possible . the director takes the viewer on a quicksilver descent into an existential madness of war through the eyes of his 14 -

tiered mission : to alert the financial community to the coming doom , and to find out who was responsible for the death of the young trader ' s mentor .\noliver stone , who this week will begin shooting his sequel to \u0093wall street\u0094 ( 1987 ) , stands outside the federal reserve bank of new york in lower manhattan .\nin wall street ( 1987 ) gordon says he was reading\nwinnie the pooh\nto rudy , his son . in the sequel his daughter is named winnie .\ndespite his own years of hard living and a peripatetic existence \u2014 he would be heading to venice in a few days \u2014 mr . stone looked refreshed and , at 62 , surprisingly young . his original film was a morality tale about greed and unvarnished ambition , and mr . stone\u2019s own views on the excesses of capitalism were obvious . but the film and its famous lines \u2014 \u201cgreed is good , \u201d \u201cmoney never sleeps\u201d \u2014 have had a cultural endurance that he never expected , and perhaps never desired .\nthe powers that be will never let that happen . jacob ' s not arguing it . . .\nwhile oliver stone scored his biggest opening ever at $ 19 million , glossy sequel wall street : money never sleeps wound up being more of a bear than a bull at the domestic box office with $ 47 . 9 million , coming out slightly ahead of the 1987 original\u2019s $ 43 . 8 million gross . inside the average range for a stone title , it\u2019s shia labeouf\u2019s lowest - grossing live - action wide release since his christening as a marquee draw with 2007\u2019s disturbia . the biggest hurdle for wall street 2 : it was a sequel to a 23 - year old adult drama , not a mass - audience franchise such as rocky or star wars . even if it was timely , its b . o . prospects were limited from the start . here are five reasons why wall street 2\u2019s stock fell :\nin the end , the money that towns across america gave general motors did not matter .\nyes . the room where you sell me a fuck you ring for fuck you money .\nwatching oliver stone ' s wall street is about as wordy and dreary as reading the financial papers accounts of the rise and fall of an ivan boesky - type arbitrageur .\nbecause it ' s not about what you have . . . it ' s about what you do . and gordon - - it ' s never about the money . gordon shakes his head .\nand that money wasn ' t even the bank ' s . . . it was taxpayers ' . . . bailout money . as this washes over a stunned winnie gekko . . .\nnew york ( fortune ) - - with buyout kings swimming in wealth , markets in turmoil , and ray - bans back in fashion , it might seem like wall street has stood still since 1987 . but to oliver stone , the creator of gordon gekko and director of the epoch - defining\nwall street ,\ntimes have certainly changed .\nwall street : money never sleeps\nis six minutes shorter than it was when i saw it at cannes and has a smoother conclusion . it is still , we might say , certainly long enough . but it ' s a smart , glossy , beautifully photographed film that knows its way around the street ( stone ' s father was a stockbroker ) . i wish it had been angrier . i wish it had been outraged . maybe stone ' s instincts are correct , and american audiences aren ' t ready for that . they haven ' t had enough of greed .\nbut one of the most appealing aspects of stone is the sheer depth and breadth of his interests and ambition . in addition to tackling socialism ( and how ch\u00e1vez has fanned its flames across south america ) in south of the border , he has also , this year , taken on capitalism in wall street : money never sleeps , the much - awaited return this september of gordon gekko to a wall street where greed isn ' t just good , it ' s legal . two films , two ideological systems , and yet this pales in the face of his next project : a 10 - part documentary series for hbo , oliver stone ' s secret history of america .\noliver stone ' s\nwall street\n( 1987 ) was a wake - up call about the financial train wreck the street was headed for . had we only listened . or perhaps we listened too well , and gordon (\ngreed is good\n) gekko became the role model for a generation of amoral financial pirates who put hundreds of millions into their pockets while bankrupting their firms and bringing the economy to its knees . as\nwall street : money never sleeps\nbegins , gekko has been able to cool his heels for many of the intervening years in a federal prison , which is the film ' s biggest fantasy ; the thieves who plundered the financial system are still mostly in power , and congressional zealots resist efforts to regulate the system .\nin a meandering walk through the crooked streets of manhattan\u2019s financial district \u2014 it was a week before shooting of the sequel , titled \u201cwall street 2 , \u201d was scheduled to begin \u2014 mr . stone said he never expected high finance to serve again as a tableau for his storytelling .\n\u201cthere\u2019s a line in the old film that kissing her was like reading the wall street journal , \u201d mr . stone said . ( it wasn\u2019t a compliment back then . )\nwhen the financial writers association asked me to host an event for the world of finance , i was shocked . i ' m known in washington not wall street . . .\nthe most remarkable aspect of wall street was that the villain of the piece , gordon gekko , became a hero to a new generation of moneymen . michael douglas claims that he ' s unable to go out for dinner in new york without having a hedge fund manager slap him on the back and thank him for inspiring him to enter wall street .\nbut he needs fresh money to serve the leverage . a hundred million . gordon just shrugs .\ni don ' t give a shit about the money . and she turns to face him .\nmoreover , films about the financial crisis have a mixed track record . \u201cup in the air\u201d did well , earning $ 83 . 8 million , but \u201cthe company men\u201d eked out $ 4 . 4 million , \u201cwall street : money never sleeps\u201d disappointed with $ 52 . 4 million and \u201cmargin call\u201d topped out at $ 5 . 3 million . the odds were about as steep as the ones facing the rag - tag group of bankers and investors who lewis lionized for bucking conventional wisdom and betting against the market .\nbefore they were running the white house , president donald trump and new white house communications director anthony scaramucci just wanted to be in this one ok - ish movie about wall street .\nq : both \u201cwall street\u201d films criticize the industry for not doing that , charging that it doesn\u2019t produce things of value and that it\u2019s corrupt . is that portrayal fair or accurate ?\nscaramucci , a former wall street executive , appears twice in the movie for about 15 seconds of screen time , playing an unnamed short seller working for josh brolin ' s character .\nwhy not ? we left it open at the end in a way on which we can hang a wall street 3 . we\u2019ll have gekko back and maybe josh brolin , too .\nthe film , wall street : money never sleeps \u2014a sequel to the 1987 original\u2014follows a reformed gordon gekko ( michael douglas ) who , after serving eight years in prison for securities fraud , attempts to warn banking bigwigs of the impending financial crisis . when his pleas fall on deaf ears , the douchebag - cassandra opts to repair his relationship with his estranged daughter ( carey mulligan ) and help her fianc\u00e9 ( labeouf ) exact revenge on a cutthroat investment banker in the gekko mold , bretton james ( josh brolin ) .\nthere are 28 songs in wall street : money never sleeps , but most of the songs play second fiddle to the 10 songs featuring david byrne and brian eno in some form or fashion . the soundtrack album has but a small slice of the music from the movie \u2013 only 9 of the 28 songs from wallstreet 2 . but at least all the songs on the album are actually in the movie . there are no derivatives here , unlike most soundtrack albums these days , or the securities that the movie slams so vigorously .\ni ' ll be honest , i ' m not the biggest oliver stone fan . he ' s some great films ( platoon , natural born killers ) but i find that his films basically deal with the same subject . however with wall street he makes a very solid , and entertaining film about a wall street broker , bud fox ( charlie sheen ) who is eager to make it big on wall street . the film examines fox ' s relationship with corporate raider gordon gekko ( michael douglas ) and how both men use insider trading information to make large sums of money . only when his relationship with gekko sours does bud fox destroy gekko with his competition . wall street is an interesting film that takes a good look at corporate greed and how some people will do anything to gain fortunes . brilliantly acted by michael douglass and charlie sheen , wall street is an effective dramatic thriller that is very suspenseful . oliver stone delivers a good film and the cast here are terrific . wall street is a well crafted film that is one of stone ' s best films . if you ' re looking for a good , entertaining film that makes insider trading an interesting subject for a film , then wall street is that film . the film may not be perfect , but it delivers good entertainment and like i said it ' s one of stone ' s best films aside from platoon . oliver stone has succeeded in making a not so interesting subject entertaining for a film , and for the most part , wall street succeeds in deliver solid drama and thrills . a worthy film to watch for sure .\njacob : yes . the room where you sell me a fuck you ring for fuck you money .\nto have twice as much money as you currently do . as he takes a seat . . .\nin his first run at wall street , mr . stone produced characters and a portrayal that lived longer than he ever expected and with unintended consequences . but he never would have made a second version if it didn\u2019t appear that the system , and high finance , had finally been brought to its knees .\nonce again , oliver stone is attempting to step into the conversation of current events but has nothing to say . the return of gordon gekko may be the selling point , but its worth is over - inflated . stone\u2019s cast serves him well , but ultimately there\u2019s only so much they can do when the script is so ham - handed that it tries to do things like craft a metaphor relating financial bubbles to human evolution . wall street : money never sleeps ends up being as confusing and irritating as the financial crisis that inspired it .\nlike many , i wondered what impact michael douglas\u2019 recent diagnosis had on wall street 2 \u2019s initial turnout . personally , i\u2019m not convinced that this will be the actor\u2019s last film , but there are plenty of others who do . if so , that\u2019s a pretty morbid reason to go see a movie ; especially one that is currently rocking a decidedly mixed 55 % rating on rotten tomatoes . the original wall street secured douglas a best actor oscar . let\u2019s hope that he makes a full recovery because this latest wall street is not what i would call academy - material .\nthe sequel , wall street : money never sleeps ( scripted by allan loeb and stephen schiff ) , begins wittily with an apparently chastened , silver - haired gekko emerging from jail in 2001 having served eight years for insider dealing and fraud . his mobile phone , the size of a second world war walkie - talkie , is among the ancient possessions returned to him . we ' re invited to guess that a stretch limo is there to meet him , but it belongs in fact to a cheerful , casually dressed , black ex - convict .\n\u201cwant a heineken , \u201d asks gordon gekko moments before the beer\u2019s label slides in to fill the screen . the scene takes place at new york\u2019s shun lee restaurant , where staff confirmed to us that they do in fact serve heineken . in the closing credits , the iwc logo floats over the screen like a reflection in a pool . everything in between is branded . in fact , one difference between the first wall street and its sequel is that money never sleeps has a credited crewmember ( allison robin ) responsible solely for \u201cproduct placement . \u201d\nthis is definitely a movie you ' ll want to see . it ' s contemporary , full of action , and really pays tribute to the original wall street . gordon gekko and all .\nin bretton james ' s office is a painting of a nurse with a surgical mask . the painting was in gordon gekko ' s house in the first wall street ( 1987 ) movie ."]}

held greek belief in both human fallibility and an overarching fate . although prometheus is a titan and not a human himself , aeschylus brilliantly uses the pathos of his suffering to create empathy for the character amongst his audience , humanising the character and allowing the poet to use him for more general comment on the human condition .\nhave you seen prometheus ? do you think del toro should abandon his dream project ? or do you agree with the correspondent to the director\u2019s website who yesterday argued that \u201cif there\u2019s room enough for two snow white movies released within the same year there\u2019s room for prometheus and atmom to be released years apart . given how important it is to guillermo i hope we get to see it at some point . \u201d ?\nbut the dod are credited at the end of the film and we obtained a copy of the production assistance agreement between the producers and the pentagon .\nin 2012 ,\n2001 : a space odyssey\nis 44 years old . i won ' t be around to see it , but i wonder how\nprometheus\nwill play in 2056 . . .\nprometheus\u2019 theft of fire questioned and challenged the limits of the human condition in relation to those of the divine . this questioning is again related to the questioning of rulers and their decrees by a restless subject .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\ndr alford is a teaching fellow in the department of politics , language and international studies at the university of bath . his documentary film based on his research , the writer with no hands , was premiered in 2014 at hot docs , toronto and won runner -

inspiring figure ) who risks divine retribution to aid mankind ; namely being bound to a rock with his immortal liver devoured daily by an eagle .\nil 27 gennaio 1961 una pletora di alti papaveri conviene al teatro dell ' opera di roma per la prima proiezione pubblica di viva l ' italia ! , il film . . .\nthe ship lands on a planet ( oid ) , following a signal of unknown origin ( a transmission in\nalien\n; the cave paintings in\nprometheus\n) . the mission turns out to be something other than what it originally appeared to be . the crew of the prometheus discovers a vessel and a race of large , dead humanoids who are familiar ( the so -

democracy linked with empathy and the struggle for justice .\ngeneric conventions , expectations , transformations and hybridities are major issues involved in the process of adapting greek ancient plays to the screen . they are developed in the sixth chapter , by tracing the influence of ancient drama on genres such as the horror film , the western and the melodrama , and also on the uses of generic conventions with their aesthetics of shock , fear and pleasure in order to \u201cbring back to life on the screen the dead genre of greek tragedy\u201d ( p . 131 ) . the chapter continues with the analysis of the tragic turned into comic parody in woody allen\u2019s mighty aphrodite ( 1995 ) and with michael cacoyannis\u2019s iphigenia ( 1977 ) as a mixture of melodrama and western ( \u201c souvlaki western\u201d according to an anonymous reviewer [ p . 140 ] ) . oresteia , antigone , prometheus bound are the tragedies discussed in the following chapter , which examines the relationship of greek tragedy with history and elaborates on the construction of master narratives , fragmentation and continuity , irony and monumentalism through the analysis of three politically - charged films , o thiassos / the travelling players ( angelopoulos , 1975 ) , germany in autumn ( schl\u00f6ndorff , 1978 ) , and prometheus by tony harrison ( 1998 ) .\nhe returns with the trophies of his expedition : wine - labels and tram - tickets with promethean iconography ;

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] tristar was satisfied enough with the screenplay to begin searching for directors . the screenplay caught the attention of director jan de bont after he had just finished directing the hit film speed . de bont originally wanted a budget of $ 100 - $ 120 million for the film , but sony and tristar ' s executives were unwilling to place that much money into the project , eventually forcing de bont to leave the project and sending godzilla into development hell . various writers were brought in to perform rewrites to try and reduce the projected budget , but the difficulties scared away several potential directors .\nthere were scenes that were virtually frame - by - frame the same as jurassic park , like the velociraptor shadow scene , jump attack sequence or the door opening sequence . at the end of the film when godzilla was killed by the f - 18 hornets , audiences were confused as to whether or not they should have felt sorry for the creature or cheer much like the new york citizens and military celebrated to godzilla ' s demise , whereas in the original film audiences were meant to feel sympathy for both godzilla and the martyr who gave up his life to destroy him . the godzilla fanbase criticized the film for lacking godzilla ' s theme , personality , and key characteristics .\nhermes seems to be punishing prometheus by showing him the worst depredations of industry , yet hermes concedes that zeus relishes all this , because zeus hates man . when hermes snuffs the memorial candles at auschwitz , is he drawing attention to these crimes of fire , or opposing man ' s use of fire even for remembrance ? are fire and industry , as the old man implies , sources of wisdom and pride or ( as the images of the film cry out , and hermes cheerfully watches over ) a curse on civilisation ? it ' s unfair to expect the film to come down on one side or the other of such a question , but the force with which a fine poet and a powerful camera can argue both sides makes for a kind of passionate stalemate .\nan earlier script for an american godzilla film was written by terry rossio and ted eliott and was going to be directed by jan de bont . a teaser trailer for this was made in japan in 1994 , but due to budget differences the script was dropped and roland emmerich was brought in . in the end , the original 1994 script ' s estimated budget which caused it to be dropped was a couple of million dollars under this film ' s budget .\nworking with tony as his producer , together with andrew holmes , has been an education - about how a poet takes to cinema , and how current cinema both supports and resists the result . we got off to an encouraging start three years ago . for a while , i had been saying to tony that it was time he wrote and directed a feature film . he had learnt film - making through a long series of ' film - poems ' for television , starting with v , which i ' d commissioned at channel 4 . in advance of transmission , it triggered tory mps and the daily mail to frothing fury , though none of them , of course , had seen it .\nwhy we ' re excited in what was just about a historical first , pixar suffered a critical knock last year : their sequel cars 2 sequel was panned as lazy and derivative . it raises the tantalising prospect of the hit - machine studio actually upping its game . brave will tell the story of the teenage merida , royal scottish redhead and determined 10th - century tomboy who \u2013 in the mould of 1998 disney film mulan \u2013 wants to shun her pampered life as a princess and enlist as a warrior alongside her male peers . clips released so far make it look stunning , with everything from merida ' s rebekah brooks - ish mop of hair to the heather - filled highland forest in which she roams to the rippling lochs and misty skies all animated with breathtaking detail .

( ridley scott has suggested that perhaps they hold a 2000 - year - old grudge , because we killed jesus and he was one of them . )\ninternal nsa emails show that the producers of enemy of the state were invited on multiple tours of nsa headquarters . when they used a helicopter to film aerial footage of fort meade , the nsa did not prevent them from using it in the movie .\nso is del toro\u2019s dream of adapting at the mountains of madness really dead ? maybe . maybe not . yes , the box office success of prometheus means some cinemagoers might find a mountains adaptation thematically familiar . but the film\u2019s box office figures also demonstrate that there is an appetite for exactly the kind of lovecraft - inspired , philosophically - inclined monster mayhem which del toro has now spent two decades trying to bring to the big screen . and , as the sequels - filled movie release schedule proves week after week , a lot of studio executives seem to believe that familiarity breeds contentment among moviegoers .\nkiarostami , speaking about close - up , claimed that\neven i , the film - maker , get confused as to which parts were fiction and which documentary\n( 21 ) . this could be applied to many nic films generally , since blurring the lines between documentary and fiction , life and art , reality and film , is at the heart of much iranian cinema . close - up ' s starting point was a news - story about a man ( hossein sabzian ) arrested for pretending to be mohsen makhmalbaf , and kiarostami convincing the actual protagonists to re - enact the events on film ( the similarities with how the apple came to be made are evident ) . hamid dabashi summarised this dis - orientating amalgam of fact and fiction :\none knows one is watching a fiction ( kiarostami ' s close - up ) that is based on fact ( sabzian ' s real story ) that is based on fiction ( sabzian pretending to be makhmalbaf ) that is based on fact ( makhmalbaf as a leading iranian filmmaker ) that is based on fiction ( makhmalbaf making fictional stories in film ) that is based on fact ( the reality makhmalbaf transforms into fiction )\n( 22 ) . kiarostami manipulates his material with skill , playing with the audience ' s expectations of documentary realism . for example , in the scene where sabzian finally meets the real makhmalbaf , the film crew is heard off - screen and the sound is cut under the false pretence of equipment failure \u2014 in fact this was a deliberate ploy to intensify the emotional power of the scene . throughout this film and the apple , its closest relation in the nic canon , a constant tension between what is or isn ' t staged persists , and forces us to question the veracity of ' realism ' and of film itself as a medium .\nthus aeschylus and harrison present us with considerably different adaptations of the prometheus myth . in the newfound political and intellectual freedom of fifth century athens , aeschylus relates those in power to the recently deposed oligarchic rule . he also plays on his audience\u2019s memories of recent tyrants in his demonization of zeus , represented through might and force , two of his most oppressive characteristics .\nin everything it touches , tony harrison ' s gritty art goes against the grain . prometheus , his first feature film , contradicts most of the unique selling points of new british cinema . it isn ' t peopled with attractive twentysomethings in picturesque cityscapes . it doesn ' t proffer elizabethan or victorian heritage . it isn ' t an adaptation of a play or a novel . it ' s an original and classical work by a poet in the cinema , based on the myth of the titan who defied the gods . it ' s the director ' s first feature , at 60 , making him the oldest jeune auteur in the business ."]}

moving images due to the phi phenomenon . this optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession . a film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera ; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques ; by means of cgi and computer animation ; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects . the word\ncinema\n, short for cinematography , is often used to refer to the industry of films and filmmaking or to the art of filmmaking itself . the contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences to communicate ideas , stories , perceptions , feelings , beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving images along with other sensory stimulations .\n( 1937 ) , the story of the pacifist court poet of mithila who is invited to the royal court by the king , only to have the queen

often with entire orchestras playing just out of the camera\u2019s view .\nnew theatres was only four years old in 1935 but it had already earned a reputation for blazing trails . set up by aristocrat and visionary birendra nath sircar , new theatres lived up the promise of freshness and novelty contained in its title . it created a vital hub for filmmaking in kolkata in the thirties , not just in terms of production but also distribution . new theatres operated two cinemas in kolkata , chitra and mitra , which helped the studio control the films it produced .\n( 1931 ) , based on a novel of the same name by sarat chandra chatterjee .\nunlike other studio owners , sircar had no ambition of making films or acting in them , and gave his directors a free hand . the opportunity for creative freedom made new studios a talent magnet for directors , actors and technicians , with such names as pc barua , debaki bose , phani majumdar , kundan lal saigal , pahadi sanyal , kanan devi , lila desai , prithviraj kapoor , nitin bose , mukul bose , bimal roy , rai chand boral and pankaj mullick on their roster .\nnew theatres quickly became reputed for its high - quality adaptations of the novels of sarat chandra chatterjee and rabindranath tagore . in 1931 , on the occasion of tagore\u2019s 70th birth anniversary , his dance - drama on buddhist themes ,\nwas released at chitra theatre on march 14 , 1932 , but it was a box office failure .\n. the studio produced films in both bengali and hindi that are deemed as classics due to their screenplays and innovative technical qualities . some important titles include the bilinguals\nwell before it became the indian national anthem , is an early example of social realist cinema .\n( 1952 ) were popular , the glory days already seemed to have left far behind . many of its alumni , including bimal roy , migrated to mumbai . sircar retired from the movie business in 1955 after completing\n( 1935 ) are two films by debaki bose that are fine examples of documentaries made in the pre - independence period . the studio also made animated films , among the earliest such productions in indian cinema . apart from the one - reelers\nafter its closure in 1955 , new theatres was taken over by various business concerns , but its decline continued due to mismanagement and labour problems . in the early 1980s , the west bengal government took control of the studio . its lots are now used to shoot bengali movies and television serials .\nbrand reality and brand values have never been more important for the bottom line .\non a typical saturday morning , roaming the isles of your regular grocery store , you pick up a bottle of , let\u2019s say , fresh juice from the refrigerated section . without a second look , you place it in the shopping cart , like you do every week , making that particular cold - pressed juice an essential part of your diet . that confidence in a product comes from knowing exactly how it\u2019s made and what it\u2019s made up of . in other words , that confidence comes from a transparent brand .\nseveral brands across industries have initiated transparency programs that give consumers depth of information , from brand communication and product description to production methods and company policies . for instance , maiyet , a new - york based luxury brand , weaves stories about its collaboration with artisans in varanasi , india and shares them with its loyal customers through its communication channels . waleda , a 93 - year old beauty firm , shares information on its commitment to fair trade , wages guidelines and a list of environmental standards on its website . these brands were featured as the top 10 brands in refinery29\u2019s transparency awards that looked at various transparency criteria - like sharing information with employees and the public and consistently improving transparency practices .\nan example closer to home can be seen in maggi . the brand has shared the entire production process of maggi masala noodles , from making the noodles to sourcing ingredients for the tastemaker , in a two - part video series . the first video , shot in the tahliwal nestle factory in himachal pradesh , breaks down the production process of the noodles , covering details such as how the grains are sourced , how they are kneaded into dough and then cut into thin noodles . the second video focuses entirely on the fresh ingredients that go into making the maggi masala tastemaker . this is a crucial step taken by the brand to increase its transparency .\nso , why are brands trying to be more transparent ? as customers make more informed purchase decisions , they increasingly want to know more about the brands they buy . according to hbr , \u201cby giving people a window into its workings , a company can show it has a sound process it\u2019s adhering to . it can avoid asking customers to have faith in a black box . the greater the transparency , in other words , the greater the trust . \u201d this trust gained from consumers can also have an impact on the bottom - line . as per this study in brand transparency , up to 94 % of customers surveyed were more likely to be loyal to a brand that offers transparency , while 73 % said that they are willing to pay more for a product that offers complete transparency .\npeople\u2019s distrust in companies has grown in line with the rise of social media , rating and review sites and the online market . the demand for transparency was further escalated by a few events that had a global impact . the rana plaza tragedy in 2013 exposed the ugly truth behind the fast - fashion industry . 5 years hence , big fashion brands have pledged to adopt good industry practices and be transparent by publishing their supplier list and the type of products made in the facility . more recently , a slew of large data scams brought the world\u2019s attention to the misuse of personal information shared on social media accounts . the resulting outrage pushed social media behemoths to share transparency reports with the public at regular intervals .\nmoreover , an entire generation of evolved , sophisticated and discerning consumers , known as gen y or more popularly as millennials , pushed companies to realise the importance of building trust through transparency . millennials , being digital natives , don\u2019t go by the traditional path to purchase but consider various other aspects before making a decision . kira karapetian , vp of marketing for label insight , in an article written for forbes points out that \u201cwhen millennials make purchasing decisions , they\u2019re considering more than the traditional drivers of taste , price and convenience . \u201d she goes on to explain the millennial tenets of self , society and planet : \u201chow is the food i\u2019m buying enhancing the quality of life for my family and myself ? \u201d and \u201chow are brands adding good to the world in which we live . \u201d\nlike in any relationship , building trust can take years . by adopting transparent communication and practices , brands can deepen their connection with their customers , building brand loyalty and love . despite its presence across indian homes , dorm rooms and even the highest mountain peaks , maggi has entrusted its loyal consumers with information about their production , packaging and ingredients , showing them that the reality of the brand matches its promise . the brand teamed up with the highway on my plate duo , rocky and mayur , for the videos that give us a how - it\u2019s - made glimpse of our favourite maggi .\nthis article was produced by the scroll marketing team on behalf of maggi and not by the scroll editorial team .\nhtml

century french courtly literature the same kinds of culturally - conditioned questions they bring to contemporary american literature and film , and it may be instructive and enriching to examine those questions , as well as our own cultural prejudices .\ngeorge blagden , best known for his role as grantaire in the 2012 film adaptation of les miserables , will play the role of the sun king .\nthe man in the iron mask isn ' t the best movie i have ever seen . i mean , you have five actors doing five entirely different accents . and some of the twists in the story are beyond silly . and of course looking at gerard depardieu ' s naked ass isn ' t something i would recommend to anyone .\na sizeable proportion of the funding for the film came from german sources : $ 4 million from bavaria ' s bank fund ( bbf ) and film and tv fund ( fff ) , about $ 1 . 3 million from the\nif you kill him , you will be just like him : or rather , if you imprison him in an iron mask for the rest of his life , you will be just like him . phillipe ultimately pardons louis and allows him to retire to the country in comfortable exile , utterly proving himself the better man .\nthe story is based on a myth , and after watching the film for the first time , i felt compelled to research the myth myself . the most convincing parts of the film are the acting of the supporting characters ( notably byrne , malkovich and irons ) and the musical score .\nin the man in the iron mask , the costumes are good , everybody is dirty and unkempt , and the attitudes are completely weird . the whole series of the three musketeers is an 1840s reimagining of a novel from around 1700 written about the 1660s , so we shouldn\u2019t be too harsh regarding factual errors of attitude\u2026unless they\u2019re from the 1990s , when this movie was made .\npolls reported that the average grade moviegoers gave the film was a\nb\non an a + to f scale .\nrandall wallace has attempted to re -

of - the - road entertainment . dicaprio\u2019s presence assures a strong opening , and it will be interesting to see how far the film can travel in the wake of \u201ctitanic . \u201d\nurltoken the man in the iron mask : leonardo dicaprio , jeremy irons , john malkovich , g\u00e9rard depardieu , gabriel byrne , anne parillaud , judith godr\u00e8che , edward atterton , peter sarsgaard , hugh laurie , david lowe , brigitte boucher , randall wallace , alan ladd jr . , paul hitchcock , ren\u00e9 dupont , russell smith , alexandre dumas : movies & tv\nmasquerade ball : figures prominently in the attempt to replace louis with philippe . with the added bonus that the hidden twin had spent his entire life wearing a heavy iron mask , which he flashes to the king from under the decorative gold one to freak him out , along with the three musketeers . it works .\nanne :\ni have raised a son who destroys lives instead of saving them , and i have failed to save a son who died within an iron mask . aramis :\nno ! that mask was louis ' creation . now we have a chance to make a miracle . to strip all masks away forever .\nin 1873 an army officer , th\u00e9odore iung , published his research into the man in the iron mask , which established that saint - mars had been his jailer at four successive prisons . the names of only two of saint - mars ' prisoners eluded iung . the first , surely the mask himself , had arrived at pignerol from paris in march 1674 amid extraordinary precautions , \u2018manacled at night\u2019 and \u2018kept from view\u2019 in such a way that he could neither \u2018shout out or write \u2026 who he was\u2019 . the second , a prisoner in the bastille at the beginning of 1699 , proved to be gatien de courtilz de sandras , the author of the m\u00e9moires de monsieur d ' artagnan .\none year later , the man in the iron mask was released in france . i had already read the whole trilogy by then and i was over - excited by the idea of watching my big time heroes for real . i was probably the only girl of my age ( at least among my friends ) to be excited by this movie , not for king leo , but for d\u2019artagnan . not even gabriel , just d\u2019artagnan .\ndamn you , muscle memory : phillipe is so used to eating and drinking in the mask that he spills water on himself when it is removed .\n, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics , gives the film a score of 35 based on 15 reviews .\na lad jousting with his tutor is kidnaped and carried to the bastille where his head is locked in an iron mask . jump ten years : musketeers return from war in morocco to find paris starving while louis xiv and his retinue idle at duke fouquet ' s estate . louis is enamored with his host ' s virginal daughter , valliere , herself in love with athos . the queen mother calls the jesuit aramis to her deathbed to confess that louis has a twin ,\na second born , he was first conceived , the oldest and true heir ,\nthe man in the iron mask . aramis secures his release and hides him while porthos and athos school him for his destiny . d ' artagnan remains loyal to louis : love , schemes and politics entwine .\na quick look inside : toad of toad hall -

produced paperbacks , alexandre dumas achieved sales of over one million for his musketeers trilogy : the three musketeers ( 1844 ) , twenty years after ( 1845 ) and the man in the iron mask ( 1850 ) . in an obituary notice published in 1870 after his death , aged sixty - eight , an american newspaper placed dumas second only to napoleon bonaparte as the most famous man of the century . yet the great french playwright and author , having set the musketeers firmly on the road to immortality , had been compelled through circumstance to obfuscate their origins , until they came to be regarded as entirely fictional characters , when they were really based on flesh and blood . in doing so he also unwittingly distanced himself from clues to the true identity of the secret prisoner in the mask , a tale more extraordinary and terrible than even dumas could devise .\nalexandre dumas got a little studlier when leonardo dicaprio , at the height of his teen - idol powers , donned a long wig to play both louis and phillipe . the former is the ruthless king of france , the latter a country boy who is scooped up and thrown in the bastille , forced to wear the titular iron mask . based on dumas\u2019 d\u2019artagnan romances , including the vicomte de bragelonne , the man in iron mask brings back the familiar names of the three musketeers to play soap - opera politics . athos ( john malkovich ) , porthos ( gerard depardieu ) , and aramis ( jeremy irons ) come out of musketeer retirement to depose the evil louis and replace him with the identical phillipe . but dicaprio was still years away from his prestige performances in scorcese dramas ; he took home the golden raspberry for worst screen couple . [ molly eichel ]\nanother theory suggests that the prisoner\u2019s mask was not iron at all , but cloth . in addition , he may not have had to wear it all the time , as many accounts suggest . he may have only had to wear it when he was out in public . there are some eyewitness accounts that seem to corroborate these claims .\nin 1687 , during his transfer from another alpine prison , exiles , to the island of sainte - marguerite , off cannes , a priest at grasse saw the prisoner in his mask , made not of iron , but steel . his eyewitness account appeared in a newsletter circulated by clerics , which also reported an unguarded remark made by saint - mars about the identity of his charge that \u2018all the people one believes to be dead are not\u2019 . this meant that the man in the mask had to be sufficiently well - known to attract comment , for his supposed death to have been widely reported and for him to be held in the utmost secrecy . d ' artagnan , almost alone of all the credible candidates , meets this criteria .\nthen , last year , something remarkable happened : sony and marvel studios reached an unprecedented rights - sharing agreement whereby the two would co - produce spider - man flicks , meaning the web - head could pal around with iron man , et . al . , in the mcu . given the positive fan response it seemed like a wise and potentially profitable move , but the proof would be in the pudding when this rebooted spidey , portrayed by relative unknown tom holland , debuted in captain america : civil war . he didn\u2019t disappoint , and is actually one of the most delightful parts of the movie . let\u2019s take a look at what the film gets right about this iconic character . spoilers ahead .\npolar opposite twins : louis is extremely cruel , uncaring , and selfish , while philippe is a much nicer person and even pardons louis at the end of the film .\nthis set - up , easy enough to explain , takes director randall wallace too long to set up , and there are side plots , such as the king ' s war against the jesuits , that will confuse audiences . there was once a time when everyone had heard of the musketeers and the man in the iron mask , but history these days seems to start with the invention of mtv , and those not familiar with the characters will take some time to get oriented .\nduring the reign of louis xiv , a mysterious masked man was kept prisoner for 34 years in the bastille and other jails . his identity has never been established .\nchristine , when she finds out about louis ' uriah gambit and can ' t bear to live any longer in the power of the man who killed her fiancee .\nthe plot was good ( eh . . . might have been predictable , but still . . . great ) , the cinematagraphy was awesome , the music was moving , the sword fighting / action was cool ! i absolutely loved gabriel byrnes in this movie . he was so great as d ' artagnan ( sp ? ) . john malcovich was perfect for his role of athos too . i really felt his pain . i have both the vhs ( older ) and the dvd version ( hey , it was on sale for 9 bucks ! ! lol ) of the man in the iron mask , and the dvd version ( although not a whole lot of extras ) has a nice directors commentary . it really tells the director ' s vision for the film and all the behind the scene info . i still can ' t believe that this movie was his first film ! !\nlouis xiv and his brother are played by leonardo dicaprio in a dual role , his first since\ntitanic .\nhe looks well - fed as the despotic ruler and not particularly gaunt , for that matter , as the man in the mask . as the film opens , he presides over a court that lives in decadent luxury , while street mobs riot for bread in the streets . the beautiful christine ( judith godreche ) catches his eye , and since she ' s engaged to the young raoul ( peter sarsgaard ) , the king sends raoul off to war and makes sure he gets killed there .\njoseph lagrange - chancel also wrote about the man behind the mask , after his stay in prison . supposedly , the man was a prisoner on sainte - marguerite during the 1720s . chancel said that the man had stayed there during the mid to late 1600s . voltaire also made this claim . he went on to say that saint - mars ( the governor of sainte - marguerite and once keeper of the famous prisoner ) called the masked man \u201cmy prince . \u201d of course , this claim is only hearsay . furthermore , chancel would have heard this information nearly twenty years after the prisoner had died . there was sufficient time for unfounded rumors to circulate . then again , it could have very well been true ."]}

x pushes as hard as his booster will allow and eventually is able to lift the boat against his neck and lift them up . they fly away , but gravity takes over soon after and the boat plummets .\nseriously , cyborg horse tells her that everything in the universe will die if rainbow brite fails her mission . so , y ' know , no pressure .\nmeanwhile rainbow brite , starlite and twink take a stop in the storm clouds above earth . it is time for their annual race with stormy , the little girl who controls the storms and winter rains . she gets to play often during the winter months bringing rain and snow to earth .\nmurky and lurky aren ' t as fortunate , as they attempt to escape the gates close . murky and lurky are brought to the princess . she says she wants rainbow brite , which murky announces that he knows of her and is attempting to capture her too . he claims rainbow brite has several color belts , so the princess demands he capture her and bring her all the belts . once they are away from the fortress they decide to head back to spectra themselves .\nshe jumps to a high level away from the opening , and hears her name called . there she sees a small gray spectran sprite on an opposite pillar , also climbing away from the slurthie . he points her to his bag , which lay near by and she sees he has star sprinkles . quickly she runs to the sprinkles and once her belt is charged , she and the old sprite escape the creatures and move toward the fort .\nwe cut to diamond princess ' castle . chris and rainbow brite brazenly just walk up the bridge leading to the front door . naturally , they ' re spotted . and the princess orders some . . . thing to cast a wind spell to knock them off the bridge .\nafter that , we see rainbow brite return to rainbow land to announce that she ' s saved the universe and everything is colorful again . and chris declares that he wants to live in rainbow land instead of returning home because he wants to help restore colors , too ( and he realized that living in a place where the chicks outnumber him 5 to 1 would be pretty sweet ) .\ni don ' t remember this movie at all . i didn ' t watch a whole lot of rainbow brite as a kid . might have to track this down . > _ > but i do remember the live - action rainbow brite ' s san diego zoo adventure . where murky and lurky were the main antagonists , did you ever see that one ?\nanyhoo , everyone celebrates and rainbow brite doesn ' t feel at all conflicted about ending a person ' s life . we see that earth is full of sunshine once more ( and , i assume , all the adults that didn ' t slit their wrists during the dark snow storm are screwing like bunnies to fix the birth rate problem ) . and brian runs outside , sees a rainbow , and sniffles as he thanks rainbow brite for saving his planet ( completely unaware that she has picked up a new boyfriend ) .\n. . . . . well , at least now he ' s catching up to rainbow brite ' s body count . good job , kiddo !\nin the thrown room , rainbow and krys confront the princess , but this time they are prepared for her magic and using both the rainbow and the prism , the princess can ' t hurt them , but they still can ' t hit the jewel itself . then from behind murky ' s space ship crashes uncontrollably in to the room , crushing the princesses thrown .\nmeanwhile on spectra , orin and popo are surprised when the other sprites come to them asking them what they are doing . it is then they notice all of the magic has worn off , and they are not hypnotized . the glitterbots are being destroyed and the net is cut away . rainbow brite has won !\ni have many happy memories of recording rainbow brite and the star stealer ,\nsays bettina bush , who was still a child when she began voicing life to the colorful cutie .\ni had such fun on set with my child co - stars , scott menville , and david and marisa mendenhall . what a talented group of kids , and all really grounded and fun . our director , marsha goodman was like a second mom to me , and working with her was always a good time - it still is . she ' s got a wicked sense of humor and a gift for bringing out the best in actors . i remember the writer of the script smoked a pipe and i can still remember how it smelled - that makes me smile . i think my favorite memory is seeing all of our hard work come to life on the night of the premiere . i had been imagining how it would look based on the storyboards , and seeing all the elements come together as a child was magical .\nand this year she doesn ' t want to end her playtime . together with her horse skydancer , they race rainbow brite through the storm clouds . if rainbow brite catches up to them , then spring will come , but if she can out run them , it will stay winter . but no horse in the universe can out run starlite , who quickly over takes the pair and they leave past the storm clouds to earth . stormy and skydancer accept their defeat and the warm air softens skydancer ' s frozen breath .\n5 : here ' s a story that i enjoy telling . when it came to doing the feature , rainbow brite and the star stealer , my agent tried to get me more money . dic , the producer , was very frugal . my agent suggested they give me three contracts instead of one on the project , convincing dic , i could do several of the roles . in those days for a tv show , a performer was paid one fee and for that , would do as many as three characters . dic figured they would get their money ' s worth by casting me in nine roles . so the day came for our recording . a union representative came to the session and informed dic that the rules were different for feature films , and they must give me a contract for each character . i got nine contracts for my work . it was a big payday !\nthe plan : on - x becomes a diversion , allowing starlite a chance to sneak in the fortress and get to the princesses room . everything goes well , and despite the obvious design flaws between horse and lift , he is able to get to the princess ' s room , pass her and steal the belt back . the princess screams in rage as he jumps out the window , giving on - x the color belt . soon as on - x gets the belt he takes it to rainbow brite , who forms a rainbow to get them out of the jail cell and off the princesses planet .\nso much nostalgia ! i adored this show when i was younger , and i must say it did not let me down revisiting it . the bright colors and animation from this dvd are as memorable as when i saw it so many years ago . if you have not seen rainbow brite before and you enjoyed shows like smirfs , pokemon , and dragon ball , then i recommend taking a go at rainbow brite . it is the classic good versus evil cartoon with many good morals and fun characters .\na metal horse rises from the hole , and robotic - ly asks for rainbow brite . at first murky tries to pass himself off as her , but the horse is not fooled . when they ask him about he wants her for , the horse replies that it ' s about a diamond . murky , greedy as ever tells the horse exactly where rainbow land is . this puzzles lurky who is used to him trying not to help rainbow brite . when the horse leaves , he explains that he is going to find out what the message is , and get the diamond for himself .\nthis routine small tots ' animated feature is about a young girl named rainbow brite who brings color to the universe . she is forced to do battle with the henchmen of a wicked princess determined to plunge everything into a colorless darkness . before the princess can carry out her plan , rainbow joins up with the warrior krys and some special horses to outsmart and outfight the anti - technicolor faction .\n5 : the final scene in rainbow land is not mentioned , and on - x is not given to krys .\non earth things aren ' t much better . the land is still thick with snow and cold . brian , rainbow brite ' s earthling friend is riding his bicycle . suddenly he slips on some ice , but a rainbow appears and slows the boy before he can crash . he looks up smiling , happy to see her .\n. . . . . i guess horsies with rainbow manes are inherently badass and loyal . xd\nwith all her incarnations and that fact that rainbow brite has never really left public consciousness is a true testament to how special and beloved this character is .\ni believe rainbow brite has such a long - lasting legacy because she ' s an inspiration . she represents hope , strength of spirit , and the power of believing in your purpose ,\nbettina says the character .\nrainbows themselves feel like you ' ve glimpsed a momentary miracle whenever you see one , they make everyone smile ! rainbow brite embodies that , so people will always love her . i ' m blessed to have had the opportunity to give her a voice .\nrainbow brite has only heard of orin in the stories sprites tell each other at bedtime . she thought he was a made up character , but twink insists he is a real person .\nrainbow , chris , and cyborg horse have to fight through a horde of lizard monsters to get away . and the attack ends in the three of them being separated .\nchris tells rainbow to retreat . rainbow accuses him of being too chicken for the mission . and he starts spewing more sexist crap about being more capable than some icky vagina person before following her up the bridge .\nin the fort starlite is having his fun confusing the glitterbots by talking , because at this time they still do not realize he can talk . murky and lurky are being brought it as prisoners as well . krys smiles as he looks up and sees a rainbow coming closer . he smiles knowing that rainbow brite is coming to save them .\nthe movie ends with murky and lurky in their spaceship trying to find their way back to rainbow land ( wait ? how did they survive that fall before ! ? ) . we don ' t see rainbow brite shoot them down and kill them ; but i think it ' s safe to assume she eventually does .\nthe universe is growing dark and on earth it is eternal winter all because a selfish princess is trying to keep the diamond like planet spectra to herself . rainbow brite , a girl in charge of changing the seasons and keeping the universe colorful , steps up to stop the princess . all of her friends help , including a brash , overconfident new aquaintance called krys . if rainbow does not free spectra ( and if she and krys don ' t stop arguing ) everything will turn gray and die .\nrainbow and chris head off to face the crazy diamond princess again . and we cut to the princess ' palace to see murky and lurky promising that they can deliver rainbow brite to her on account of their experience fighting her . she tells them to piss off because she astutely points out that , if they could beat her , they would have done it already ( not gonna lie , i thought that was pretty cool ) . they change her mind by lying and telling her that rainbow brite has more belts and they know how to get them . this is the only reason they aren ' t locked in a dungeon .\nthe sprite informs her of who he is . he is orin , the sprite who sent on - x to fetch her . together they plot a way to get krys and the others out of the fort . he gives rainbow brite the prism . he says she must give it to krys and together they will be able to fight their enemies .\ni ' m pretty sure stormy was my favorite rainbow sidekick when i was little . she has the power to make rain and snow ; but she ' s only allowed to do it in wintertime . if she tries to do it out of season ; rainbow brite and her horse chase her down and ruin her good time . it sucks to be stormy .\nchris uses his wrist cannon to trap three guards in ice blocks . the cartoon never shows them recovering ; so it ' s possible that this puts him ahead of rainbow brite in the\nmost villains murdered\ncategory .\nwhile the princess is distracted , rainbow and chris destroy her power source diamond . which , in turn , causes her entire palace to collapse ( i guess she conjured her house with her insane diamond magic ) . while the palace is collapsing , murky threatens to shoot rainbow brite with his wacky looking gun . and this prompts starlight to pop in out of nowhere and kick him off the side of a cliff .\nwhen rainbow brite gets to the diamond planet , she finds a bunch of fuzzy things being enslaved and forced to make nets to cover up the planets surface . but she can ' t rescue them because they ' re being guarded by giant killer robots ! !\nno , really . rainbow channels her magic through the planet ( remember , the fuzzy things ' planet is a giant prism ) and uses the amplified beam to blow up the princess ' ship before it can hit the planet .\nright on cue , cyborg horse pops in the window to save them ( where the hell was he when the children were being zapped ! ? ) . unfortunately , he can ' t fit in the window . and instead of just popping in kool aid man style like he should , he goes off to get help from rainbow brite ' s horse starlight . even though starlight is powerless without rainbow and her belt .\nthe franchise pretty much ran out of steam by the end of the ' 80s . there was an attempt to revive it in 1996 , with mattel bringing out new , ethnically - diverse versions of the various characters , but it fell flat on its face . rainbow brite is , and probably will remain , an artifact of the 1980s .\nafter rainbow brite ' s initial run ended , there were several attempts to reinvent her , however none of them seemed to shine quite as brightly as the original . then , in 2014 , hallmark ' s online network urltoken began streaming the film along with a brand new 3 episode mini - webseries . written by rachel vine , the series stared emily osment as rainbow brite and eighties teen queen , molly ringwald ( who also recently appeared in the live - action jem and the holograms film ) , as the dark princess . the series was successful enough that it appears feeln is developing an ongoing series .\nkrys informs her that the princess , and her plans . when rainbow insists they stop her , krys dares her to say it to the princess . she says she will and they all leave to the princesses planet .\nthe dark princess is up to big - time mischief : snatching for herself spectra , the universe ' s sole source of light . without spectra in its rightful place , all will be plunged into gloom and dreariness - unless rainbow brite and her friends can defeat the princess in this fantastic adventure ! set in an imagination - enhancing cosmos of enchanted worlds , spunky rainbow brite , her magical horse starlite , heroic spaceboy krys , spritely twink , young earthling brian , venerable sage orin and other amazing hallmark characters confront evil by using color , magic , cleverness and joy as ammunition .\nthe princess decides that it might be fun to mess with the kids . so she turns off the wind machine and instead opts to let them in . once inside , the kids are attacked by blob monsters . rainbow brite blinds it with her magic rainbow belt so they can escape . diamond princess sees this and immediately decides that she must have that belt ! ! so she uses a trap door to drop them into a dungeon\nrainbow brite , and her magical horse starlite , must stop an evil princess and her underlings from taking over the planet spectra . when they meet orin , the wise sprite tries to make the two children get along and work together to stop the evil princess . orin tells them that they can only destroy her by combining their own powers against her . getting in the way of their mission is the sinister murky dismal and his bumbling assistant lurky who , as usual , are lavishing in the new gloom created by the darkening of spectra , as well as trying to steal rainbow ' s magical color belt .\nin a quick getaway from the glitterbots , rainbow brite and starlite pretend to weave rope . at first their plan works . the glitterbots merely dispenses more rope to be woven and move on , until they see that rainbow isn ' t weaving a net . she is weaving a set of booties . the glitterbot charges his gem to hypnotize her , but as he shoots , on - x interferes , bouncing the ray from his shiny body back into the gem , hypnotizing the glitterbots themselves .\nand several other roles . voices of her friends and enemies included mona marshall ( wendy and sheila in\nthis movie is a bit odd , but i give it points for making rainbow brite an active female character when they easily could have had chris keep rescuing her . if it helps , the crazy princess does make an appearance in the series after the movie aired . so , that ' s one less kill count for rainbow brite . xd there is also one thing i think this movie proves to be true . robot horses make anything awesome ! ^ _ ^\nwewill creative night light led colorful rainbow zebra lifelike stuffed animal toy . . .\nthe girl with the striped moonboots and royal - blue epaulets is back from the 1980s to save the world for a new generation of young viewers . this time the gal , her rainbow - tailed horse starlite , and her sidekick sprite twink must face down a selfish princess who has stolen the biggest diamond in the universe , preventing light from reaching the world , and sending earth into a neverending winter . ( don ' t try to justify the plot from a scientific standpoint . ) the rerelease of this 1985 production marks the relaunching of the rainbow brite franchise , following the successful returns of other ' 80s era cartoon characters like care bears and my little pony . nostalgic young parents will revel in the big hair and big shoulders , and little ones will just enjoy the pretty horses and the colors . this 85 - minute movie may also have some appeal to young males as the secondary hero is a boy with a robotic horse . ( ages 3 and older ) - - kimberly heinrichs\nthe kids room by stupell smile make memories rainbow rectangle wall plaque , 11 x 0 . . . .\nthese guys are murky and lurky ( rainbow ' s normal villains ) . they suck and add nothing to the plot . so we won ' t be discussing them very much\nthe adventures of the color protector and her friends ( sidekick twink , the color kids , her horse starlite , and her human friend brian ) .\nrainbow brite quickly puts the booties on starlite ' s hooves despite his vocal protests and they run away . they don ' t get too far before they come to a large gray river . they jump into the river , but realize despite it ' s liquid appearance it is thick , and starlite can ' t swim in it . getting rainbow brite to a small boat , starlite tries to push her to safely , but she will not leave him . he jumps in the boat too , as the glitterbots enter the river , blasting at them , but because of the river ' s depth , they miss them .\nonce rainbow and old fuzzy guy escape , he gives a speech about having a special device for chris . and he tells rainbow that she ' s destined to help chris become the mighty warrior he was meant to be . surprisingly , she agrees to it .\nreview : perhaps the most fascinating development in animation in recent years has been the rise of full - length films with limited , poor animation , usually done in japan , and based on a line of toys or similar products . rainbow brite is a character developed by hal\u2026 ( more )\nultra high frequency - advantages and disadvantages . . . the point to point transmission and reception of tv and radio signals is affected by many variables . . . the signal transmission and the degradation of signal reception . . . uhf transmission and reception are enhanced or degraded by tropospheric ducting as the atmosphere warms and cools throughout the day . . .\non spectra orin and popo are the only two sprites not hypnotized . carefully they are able to hide from the glitterbots and cut the nets holding spectra . orin looks to earth , which is growing more and more distant in the dark . and on earth brian is worried , for the snow and storms are getting worse .\nrainbow brite started out as a little girl named wisp , who was magically carried off to the rainbow land . there , she found everything had become dull and dreary , a result of that entire world having been taken over by the dark one . despite cowardly advice from a sprite named twink ( who became her closest friend in that realm ) , she made it her business to find the color belt and the sphere of light , and restore the rainbow land ' s natural beauty . this she did , with the help of a flying horse named starlite and her seven friends , the color kids ( red butler , lala orange , canary yellow , patty o ' green , buddy blue , indigo and shy violet ) . after that , she remained to rule the rainbow land , with her friends in charge of their respective bands of it . her special mission was to maintain bright colors throughout the universe . her worst foes were murky dismal and his sidekick , lurky .\nmeanwhile another ship has crashed into the spectra surface . it is murky dismal and lurky . the spectra sprites fuss about the scratching of the surface , but murky pays no mind and lurky works on the super gloom boomer .\nthe ponies and a young human girl named megan must stop the evil lord tirac from taking over the ponies ' peaceful world .\nafter hearing this news report , brian goes into his room and pulls out a key that rainbow brite gave him\nin case of emergencies\n. the key works by turning any door he uses it on into a portal to rainbow land . but when he tries using it , it doesn ' t work ( he guesses it ' s because her magic has gotten weaker ) .\num . . . wow . i think you ought to go back and watch some 80s cartoons , since they have a lot more violence than you remember . keep in mind it was the 80s that traumatized little kids by killing off the main hero ( bye , optimus prime ! ) , and also turned adorable little ponies into monsters : there ' s a good reason why i ' m really wary about what cartoons i ' ll watch . as amazing as many cartoons were , they were also super traumatizing ! granted , this particular movie was always a bit weird , but if you recollected more of the cartoon , it ' s not at all . first off , the\nfuzzy things\nare sprites . each rainbow kid has their own hue of sprite , and the sprites harvest color crystals for rainbow brite to use . she ' s also the only one that has a white sprite ( named twink , if you care ) as a companion , and he was always pulling color crystals from his pouch in the nick of time . the cartoon also established the relationship between rainbow brite and brian , as she accidentally caught him in a rainbow and had to take him back to rainbow land to restore his proper color to him . . . and yeah , they are first and foremost children , and friends . brian ended up being very helpful , so of course rainbow brite made sure he always had a way to return to rainbow land . i always liked the underlying tension between genders in the cartoon , as again , they are children , and children are always going to have that ,\new ! he ' s a boy !\nor ,\ngross ! girls !\nwhen dealing with each other . i certainly had it with one of my best friends , who happened to be a boy , when we were kids . that ' s just the way of things . can ' t really call kids sexist for noticing they ' re different from each other . if you can find it , i recommend tracking down the movie showing rainbow brite ' s origins . then , among other things , you ' ll understand why starlite is so loyal to her . and also why he ' s the most magnificent horse in the universe . : d oh , before i dash for work , murky and lurky are the recurring villains of rainbow brite , so they can never die . ever . ; )\nquickly the starlite distracts the glitterbots , and rainbow is able to untie him , together she throws krys the prism , and shoots it with her rainbow power , charging it . still unsure how it works , krys pulls his arm out and looks away as a blast of energy shoots his enemy . first as a heat ray , then as a blast of ice . finally free they leave .\nrainbow brite has just enough power in her belt to break them all out of prison . but she tells chris that she needs to recharge her belt in her homeland before she can try to fight crazy diamond princess again .\nat the princesses planet rainbow and krys see the huge fortress the princess lives in . telling their horses to stay behind they walk across the walkway toward the front gate . the princess , and her advisor count blogg see them approaching , and attempt to get rid of them . when she sees they are not easily dissuade , she allows them to enter . in the front lobby they are greeted by many small castle creatures .\nthe animation is wretched , and the whole thing is so sickly sweet as to be almost nauseating .\neven in the world of merchandise tie - in animated movies , this rainbow brite outing is pretty terrible . one of the main points of the film revolves around the big bad tying a rope around a planet and towing it to her home with a spaceship . yeah , okay . then there are the unnecessary comic asides with two bumbling villains that don ' t work on any level . over on the editing and scripting side , the action constantly shifts away from rainbow brite and her mission just to keep the ancillary characters fresh in the minds of the audience . those minor scenes , though , last a whopping 30 to 45 seconds , never providing enough time for those sequences to do anything of importance . the end result is a film that goes beyond cheesy to so sugary sweet i wanted to get my teeth checked after watching it . even other blatant money grabs of the decade like the transformers and g . i . joe movies included risk and , well , real world stakes . there ' s nothing like that here , if you include winter not being able to go away . . . and the people of earth literally giving up because of the snow and grayness . really ?\nbased on papers discovered at the margaret herrick library , when cohen was developing the story , he went through several different incarnations . one of the stories introduced a villain known as the collector who was not only draining the color from the universe , but also manipulating time so the past , present , and future all existed together in one plane . another had a strange force sending the entire universe into an ice age with rainbow and krys leading the inhabitants of all the effected planets into battle . another , cohen wrote , had a raiders - style adventure that took rainbow and krys through planets of deserts , mountains , and various other natural obstacles as well as through outer space in an effort to find a villain who was consuming all the light in the universe . eventually , the story was set and after the final draft of the script was approved it took a record setting three months to produce the rest of the film ."]}

running naruto series owes much of its popularity to its entertaining combination of a come - from - behind hero , magical \u201cninja\u201d techniques , over - the - top fights , slapstick brawls and friendship . while the road to ninja incorporates these well - known and well - loved elements , it stresses the lonelier , more serious side of the main character . if naruto were just a knuckleheaded prankster , audiences would quickly tire of him . because he has the strength to overcome his weaknesses and achieve his goals , he can be truly heroic , as well as comic , a combination that\u2019s made him one of the most popular animated characters of our era .\n: tobi . he used a test run of the infinite tsukuyomi , to try to capture naruto . then he worked with the masked man\nadult fear : minato and kushina tend to be overprotective of naruto due to their line of work .\nnaruto uses it to defeat a tobi - controlled memna , and it alerts minato to his location .\nnaruto and his team are hired to protect a young actress from three rogue warriors in the land of the snow .\nsixteen years ago , a mysterious masked ninja with the name of tobi unleashes a powerful creature known as the nine - tailed demon fox ( kurama ) on the hidden leaf village konoha , killing a huge number of people . in response , the leader of konoha\u2019s ninja forces , minato namikaze , the fourth hokage , and his wife kushina uzumaki , the demon fox\u2019s living prison , were forced to seal the nine - tailed fox inside their newborn naruto uzumaki .\nnaruto actually agrees to release the kyuubi and fight side by side for the first time because by the kyuubi ' s admittance , he hates tobi / madara more than naruto . so he wouldn ' t risk getting trapped in the alternate world by screwing over naruto . the fact that naruto was also in the middle of fighting an alternate version of the kyuubi also helped matters .\nthe film attempted to capitalize on naruto\u2019s inner struggles and this was in fact the major theme of the entire movie \u2013 to the point that he was made to experience a life where his parents were alive and he even fought his alternate dimension self . that said , sakura\u2019s inclusion into the genjutsu was dubious at best . in retrospect , the film begs the question on what obito wanted to truly gain from trying the technique in the first place .\nwhat a great time to get out to the theater ! the action - packed . . .\nnaruto , shikamaru and sakura are on a mission to deliver a lost pet to a village when a mysterious knight appear to confront them .\nsakura was nearly forced to make one . she could either stay in the genjutsu , so naruto could be happy but she would be alone . or force naruto to leave with her , so she gets her parents back , but naruto is alone again . if naruto hadn ' t made the choice for her , she probably would have let herself suffer for naruto .\nnaruto , in an amnesiac stupor , stares at the destroyed red moon scroll , which brings back memories of his training to learn the rasengan with jiraiya , and how his father was the one who invented the technique . naruto is able to break free of the genjutsu just in time to save sakura , and then defeats tobi the same way his father did , breaking the limited tsukuyomi . tobi , using his ghost body , attacks again , until minato and kushina arrive . tobi decides to give up and exits the genjutsu world just as naruto and sakura are enveloped in a bright light , preparing to return to their world as well , but beforehand naruto thanks minato and kushina who quickly goes to assist menma who is returning to his original state as their son . naruto and sakura returns to their world , where naruto ' s hokage coat breaks down since it was only part of the genjutsu world and not real . naruto and sakura tell tsunade and kakashi of what transpired and sets out more guard patrol since tobi was easily able to enter further in the village than they imagined . shizune also brings up the topic of the letters of recommendation from the beginning of the movie , to which tsunade replies that she has no intention of promoting any of naruto ' s friends to j\u014dnin . as they both return home , naruto watches sakura as she meets her parents , happily hugging them . he approaches her , asking her out on a date , but sakura tells him they just came back from the longest date ever , much to naruto ' s shock . as naruto goes home , he sees iruka in his house , waiting to apologise to him . afterwards , naruto happily jumps roof top to roof top through the village while quoting that the road of a ninja is one who endures . after the credits , the sign in ichikaru ramen where it says\nmenma\nis changed .\nminato later makes up for this in naruto ' s eye ' s by coming to his rescue thanks to the thunder god kunai .\n( my biggest complaint ) ; the movie was marketed to make it seem like the alternate versions of the konoha 11 would be a big part of the story . they made a big deal of showing all the ' reverse ' characters in the promos , hyping them up a ton . but , in the actual movie , they only got like 2 minutes of screen time total , and had practically no relevance to the overall plot at all .\nevil is cool : a lot of people consider the akatsuki to be so as is . . . and in this movie ' s au , they ' re the good guys .\na mysterious group of ninja called the sora - nin from the sky country makes a surprise attack on konoha . this is because konoha nearly destroyed the sky country during the last shinobi world . . . see full summary \u00bb\nreturning to the hidden leaf village after skirmishing with the evil ninjas of the akatsuki clan , naruto confronts a subtler foe : loneliness . while his teammates\u2019 parents praise their work and talk about submitting the forms for promotions in the ninja ranks , naruto walks into his apartment and gives the traditional japanese greeting , tadaima ( \u201ci\u2019m back home\u201d ) \u2013to the food wrappers and dirty laundry lying on the floor . at the same time , his friend sakura is quarreling with her parents , whom she feels are over - protective .\ndespite masashi kishimoto himself having written the script , the time - frame this movie is set in doesn ' t correlate with canonical events established by manga ' s timeline , seemingly deviating from it past the point of naruto ' s stay on the island turtle .\nthe blu -

tails within menma . menma then called back the defeated masked beasts , and summoned kurama ' s counterpart , the black nine - tails . naruto was unable to attack , while the akatsuki retreat , taking sakura with them . not wanting to be manipulated by the sharingan again , kurama makes a truce with naruto to work together , allowing him to summon kurama out of his body . in the battle naruto is barely able to win , but tobi reveals that this was his plan , to have naruto and menma fight , as doing so would cause the two foxes to fight and weaken kurama . as he possessed menma , kurama warned naruto if he looked into menma ' s sharingan , it would be all over , for tobi planned to extract kurama out of naruto the same way he extracted it from kushina sixteen years ago . as menma overpowers naruto , the latter tries to use the scroll when he notices the moon had turned red , but menma cuts the scroll , causing naruto to look into menma ' s eyes . naruto ' s memories are erased , but sakura rescues him before kurama is extracted from him .\ni really don\u2019t think i\u2019m ready to watch this movie , i feel like i\u2019m going to puke . there\u2019s just soooooooo much rubbish in it that i\u2019ll probably curse the creators to hell . lord help me , it\u2019s times like this that forces me to read bleach . blah . well i still have the the episodes to rely on .\ntrapped in another world : naruto and sakura are sent to another world by tobi and have to find a way home .\nthe movie starts with a flashback to the nine - tailed demon fox ' s attack , which then flashes forward to the present timeline where the eight members of akatsuki who are meant to be dead , are actually alive and are battling the konoha shinobi and this in - turn unsettles sakura . shikamaru states there is no point in wondering why the dead are back alive and quickly comes up with a counter plan , but naruto quickly attacks akatsuki head on , forcing the rest of the konoha 11 plus sai , kakashi and guy to attack . the battle continues until naruto is caught by kakuzu . sai frees naruto by cutting part of kakuzu ' s arm off , causing the akatsuki to retreat .\nnaruto , kakashi , sakura , and rock lee are assigned to protect michiru , the prince of the land of the moon , while he travel the world . the prince purchased a tiger sham and the whole circus , which became the team ' s protection .\nsuit up of destiny : naruto leaves for the final fight by putting on the fourth hokage ' s cloak .\nso you want to be a mix engineer . the good news is even the greatest in the . .\nwithout even seeing this movie i have to say that it looks to fall in line with all of the other naruto movies as pure garbage . they pick the dumbest story lines and the fighting is subpar . instead of maybe showing us the previous wars , back stories ( the kakashi back story was amazing ) or even current events with them using their current manga / anime powers they give us this kind of crap . this is the one area that bleach completely trounces on naruto . as a fan i\u2019m obligated to see this movie but there will be a lot of fast forwarding . just my humble angry opinion , lol .\ncharacter development : sakura comes to appreciate her own parents more by the end of the film , as well as understand naruto ' s pain better .\nnaruto ' s battle to reclaim his honor begins ! naruto is convicted of a serious crime he didn ' t commit and is sent to the inescapable prison , hozuki castle . the warden , mui , quickly seals . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe first time that sakura and naruto see kizashi haruno ' s face in the hokage rock , he was facing to the centre but in another scene , he is facing the same direction as tsunade .\nthe naruto road to ninja timeline occurs sometime before the current great shinobi war that is rocking the naruto world . madara \u2013 or more appropriately , obito \u2013 experiments on a shorter , limited version of their planned infinite tsukiyomi genjutsu on konoha , targeting naruto . sakura somehow gets involved , so the duo is pulled into an alternate world where , for the most part , people and some events are the opposite of how they are in reality . this makes for a very interesting situation where hinata is a very aggressive alpha - female and sasuke is a playboy ( not to mention he isn\u2019t an exiled shinobi ) , and it also presents a unique experience for both sakura and naruto . sakura experiences how it is to live alone and without the constant bickering of her parents , who in this world are dead , and her father was the fourth hokage who heroically gave his life in service of the village . naruto\u2019s parents are alive and well , offering him a brief taste of what it would have been like had obito not attacked the village with the kyubi at the very start of the series .\nas sakura heals kushina , naruto still attempts to brush off his parents , causing minato to say no matter what naruto does , they will always try to save him as that ' s what they naturally tend to do as parents . kushina then awakens and hugs naruto , causing him to breakdown in tears and finally accept them as his parents . they return to konoha , where tsunade locks the scroll in the village ' s safe until the night when a red moon will appear , when they can use the scroll to fulfil the said prophecy . as naruto and sakura walk home together , naruto quickly runs home saying he has something to do , leaving sakura alone . sakura now finds her home too lonely and wonders if naruto ' s always felt this way . as she walks down town she sees happy families , only making her more sad . she then realises that this world ' s sasuke is just a flirt as she sees him flirting with a group of girls and decides that naruto was right on his decision to quickly break the genjutsu they ' re now trapped in and wishes to return to their own world . as she walks to naruto ' s home to try to find a way to break the genjutsu , she sees how happy naruto is and wonders if they really should leave . sakura later meets naruto , and asks him if he wants to stay . although he denies it , he later thinks to himself that he truly does not want to leave .\nwhen naruto beats menma , tobi exits him and decides to break the illusion as it ' s obvious his plan has failed .\na variety of bonus features will also make road to ninja of special interest to naruto shippuden fans . these include the original japanese theatrical trailers , broadcast commercials , and promotional videos offered on both the dvd and blu -

filled world and the breadth of characters involved are impressive . he also expends a lot of effort on character development for a few noteworthy characters in the series . so i expected a mixture of all these positive aspects in the ninth film of the naruto franchise .\nas the nine -

the fact that the two succeeding movies have not only increased involvement by the author , but are also canon specifically because of his direct involvement ( for the last , he was chief story supervisor ; for boruto , he actually wrote the screenplay ) , in comparison to this movie , which is filler and actually had little involvement from kishimoto ( other than the character designs for the au counterparts ) , only further breaks the base .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\nyear inside , hour outside : when naruto and sakura return to the real world , very little time seems to have passed . if nothing else , it ' s the same night . they had spent multiple days and nights within the alternate world .\non its own , the film felt like filler episodes squeezed into a full - length movie . it was a subterfuge at best with lots of interesting facets but not enough substance . it does , however , reinforce naruto\u2019s character and resolve before he enters the final shinobi war against obito . in that regard , the film filled in the last gaps of lingering doubt there may have been in naruto\u2019s heart before he set out to wage war against some of the most powerful beings his world has ever seen .\nthe masked man reveals his trump card , the alternate dimension kyubi , and it\u2019s revealed that he looked exactly like naruto save for dark hair . here the analogy is perhaps where naruto was the greatest hope of his world , here he was the greatest threat . the final fight between the two begin , and as naruto is overwhelmed by the power of the ( un ) masked man\u2019s kyubi , his own kyubi offers unlimited assistance just this time only . the potential for a devastating kyubi versus kyubi fight was great , but i\u2019m afraid the one - on - one was short - lived and lackluster . at one point naruto\u2019s parents minato and kushina arrive to help , going against their earlier decision not to face the masked man . with their combined efforts the masked man is defeated and is revealed to be menma , the child of naruto\u2019s parents in the alternate dimension . please do not ask me how in the world they never noticed their own son gone for so long that he\u2019s become the greatest threat in their world . naruto and sakura return to their own world as the limited tsukiyomi ends , having learnt lifelong lessons and some of their innermost wishes granted if only for a short while ."]}

rending incident , his search of guru once thirumalayya departs , his hard work to become a great singer is well depicted and tarasu takes the readers to a different aesthetic level . in the end , episode of tippu - venkata subbayya ' s face - off is touchy . though the incidents in venkata ' s life are not in chronological order in the novel , this does not alter the flow .\ntalks about similar school of thought . also , there is a mention that before the times of tyagaraja , shyama shastri and muttu swamy dixit there was no differentiation of streams in indian classical music like carnatic and hindusthaani . even now , tarasu asserts that though the names of the raagas are different in these streams , they are basically the same .\ni had seen the kannada movie hamsa geethe before reading the novel . even then , i liked the novel more than the film . also , having been to\nadded a familiar feeling whenever the author described about the places in chitradurga and i was thrilled .\nif you get a chance to read this novel by tarasu , jump on it . i have no doubt in my mind to say that it is one of the best novels to have been written in kannada .\nhey good writeup , well narrated ! ! i had watched this movie 2 times . i came to know some more things from this article .\nthanks shivananda for the encouraging words . and regarding comments not being allowed in kannada blog , i have now changed the comments settings . you should now be able to post your comments there too .\nenjoyed reading your blog . could you let me know the details of publication of this novel . publishers , date of publication and place . i need this for a research i am doing on books and films on classical musicians . i cannot read kannada . thanks s . j\nthank you for the details of the novel . i saw the movie and loved it with my limited understanding of kannada . i saw that the online version is the original . is there an english translation available ?\nsteve jobs of apple had asked to give the book -

nov - 1987 movie details - - directed by - sp . muthuraman music by - ilaiyaraaja produced by - rajam balachander\nanand ( rajnikanth ) is the unbeaten motorcycle champion six years in a row . winning the championship brings him into contact with uma ( jyothi ) , the daughter of thilakavathy ( sukumari ) , a haughty , rich woman . uma hates him for his dark complexion but this naturally soon turns into love ( a forcible kiss is all it takes ! ) . but thilakavathy has more aces up her sleeve . she deceives anand and uma into thinking that she agrees to their wedding while secretly planning to get uma married off to a boy of her choice . she gets anand locked up on the day of the wedding . anand escapes but is unable to stop the wedding . the next time they meet , uma sees anand happily married to kalyani ( sarita ) and with a child while she informs him that she too is happily married with two children .\nthe movie starts off just like any other poorly handled rajnikanth movie . a rather long motorcycle race that tries but fails to be exciting , a sparkless love story that starts off with a quarrel before turning romantic and a confrontation with the haughty , landlady ( a la maappillai ) all give a sense of ' been there , seen that ' . the romance between rajni and jyothi is weak with no inkling of chemistry between them . her ploy of dismantling her car battery to get him to offer her a ride raises a few smiles .\nthings start to get better once sukumari ' s plan gets into action . there is genuine suspense as rajni ' s plans for marrying jyothi and sukumari ' s alternative plan for jyothi marrying a boy of her choice , proceed in parallel . the resolution of this is an even bigger surprise as sukumari wins this battle by getting jyothi married as per her wishes while rajni has to be a silent onlooker unable to do anything about it . at this point there is some real suspense about how the rest of the movie is going to unfold .\nbut the movie again sinks into predictability after a little while . poor handling of the sequences makes the truth apparent and so happenings on screen seem forced and an unnecessary postponement of the inevitable . the only suspense is how the truth is going to be revealed to the players . and there are not many thrills or surprises in this either . in fact , the sequence of events in the second half forget to address many of the issues from the first half . for instance , there is no mention of rajni ' s brother ' thengai ' srinivasan at all .\nrajni fans must have been disappointed to see their hero in such an anti - trademark role . he never fits into the purely romantic mode needed for the hero in such a movie but the movie doesn ' t offer him much oppurtunity for comedy or action either . jyothi lacks both glamour and acting skills and naturally , was lost after this movie . sukumari makes a mark as the hard - hearted mother . ilaiyaraja does his turn with the melodious vellai puraa ondru . . . and vaa vaa vasanthame . . . .\nthaneer thaneer ( 1981 ) , blockbuster tamil movie directed by : k . balachander , starring : saritha\nkomban full hd movie | karthi , rajkiran , lakshmi menon | directed by m . muthaiah\npaatti sollai thattathey | tamil movie comedy | r . pandiarajan | manorama comedy | oorvasi\ntop 10 songs of k . j . yesudas | heart touching collection | tamil movie | hd audio jukebox\nanand ( rajinikanth ) is motorcycle champion for six years in a row . winning the championship brings him the introduction of uma ( jyothi ) , the daughter of thilakavathy ( sukumari ) ; a haughty , rich woman . uma thinks anand has a too dark complexion but soon turns into love . but thilakavathy deceives anand and uma into thinking that she agrees to their wedding while secretly planning to get uma married someone else . she gets anand locked up on the day of the wedding and anand escapes but not too soon to stop the wedding . the next time they meet , uma sees anand happily married to kalyani ( saritha ) and with a child while she informs him that she too is happily married with two children . saritha invites uma to her house for diwali there reveals a secret . later what happens is the climax .\nfull kannada movie 1971 | sri krishna rukmini satyabhama | rajkumar , b saroja devi , arathi .\nmanathil uruthi vendum | full tamil movie | suhasini , shridhar | k . balachander\nmanal kayiru | tamil comedy movie | visu | s . v . sekar | full movie\noorukku upadhesam | visu , s . ve . sekar , oorvasi | tamil full comedy movie | official upload\nputhu puthu arthangal full movie | k . balachander film | mega hit movie full hd | | rahman , sithara\nvelaikaran | \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd tamil full movie | rajinikanth | amala | ilaiyaraaja | k . balachander\nthirumathi oru vegumathi | full tamil movie | pandiyan , jayashree , s . ve . shekher\nmuthal mariyathai 10 / 15 part | sivaji ganesan | radha | ilaiyaraja | p . bharathiraja | tamil movie\nmalayalam full movie | sandhya vandanam [ hd ] | ft . sukumaran , m . g . soman , lakshmi\nservar sundaram | tamil movie comedy | nagesh | k . r . vijaya | s . p . . muthuraman\nmy name is billa -

in - all - azhaguraja ( aiaa ) workshop .\nrajini arrives in one wearing what looks like a swimming cap . or was it his helmet . then the race begins . the announcer narrates the entire proceeding as if he was telling the mahabaratha story over the radio .\nit would hardly be justifying calling it a race . it was more like a stroll in the park . the racers looks more like rallying for some cause , maybe for better quality bikes .\nrajini himself has to go through some turbulence like the bike not starting ( where\u2019s aiaa when you need him ) . but the filmmaker , sensing that we would dismiss the race as non - race , had the racing bikers to overtake bullock carts . those speed demons !\nanyway , rajini wins of course , and receives the price from the films heroine , jyothi an actress who\u2019s achne spots are more than the number of films she did .\nokay , here\u2019s the thing i disliked about this film . the bike racing and the bike riding was what between a good film that this is and a great film which it could have been . i mean , it could have been okay if the bike was harley davidson or the chopper thingy raghuvaran was bumming about with in siva . the aiaa bike already looked too old and clumsy when the film first came out .\nthere\u2019s a bit of formula that you know . girl dislikes boy , boy teachers her lesson , girl likes boy , boy likes girl , and the girl\u2019s mother gets henchmen to beat the living daylights out of the boy\u2019s uncle .\nyeah , played by tenggai sreenivasan , he\u2019s the girl\u2019s family driver , and he overhears the part where the girl and her friends discuss how disgustingly black rajini was ( at the beginning , later she embraces black , literally ) . angered , he stopped the car he was ferrying them with , gets out , scolds them , and throws in the key , the cap , uniform and\u2026\n\u2026thank god he doesn\u2019t remove his pants . if there are still many guys out there in their thirties or forties , still scarred by something that happened in their childhood / youth , to the point that they became homophobic , i got two words : topless tenggai ( tt ) .\nanyway , thanks to tt , a sight that also would horrify any decent acne - scarred girls , tt was punished with whipping to the point that he still got almost topless again due to torn shirt . hah ! you know what happens next , rajini , after finding out , tears into the rich lady\u2019s bungalow in the aiaa bike , and gives the henchmen who whipped tt , his share of lashing ( rajini usually don\u2019t lash whip , he goes apeshit insane with it ) .\nso , the girl\u2019s mother , played by veteran \u201cplease hate me\u201d mother / mother - in - law , sukumari , harbours hatred towards him . you know , he\u2019s dark - skinned , low - wage earning , aaia bike riding bloke who has more hair than the all of the three stooges combined * .\n: sukumari was shown as evil by the filmmaker by focussing on her fierce looking face , then on the stuffed tiger head in the background , back to her , back to tiger , back to her , back to tiger , back to her , back to\u2026 . arrrr , i got it mr . director , she\u2019s evil ! end of aside .\nin the meantime , romance developed between rajini and \u201cscarface\u201d jyothi . they greet each other with yellow flag , and yell off a mountain to echo \u201ci love you\u201d , kinda 80s version of text messaging and facebook wall status . and off we go to a beautiful song , \u201cvellai pura ondru\u201d .\nthen , the song finishes and usually it\u2019s rajini back whopping some bad guys\u2019 ass . nooo\u2026he was still romancing her . involuntarily i yelled , \u201chey , the duet finished already - lah\u201d . and voluntarily , with some domestic violence included , my wife yelled , \u201clet them - lah . what\u2019s your bloody problem ? \u201d to those who are new to this blog , my wife is a hardcore fanatic terrorist fan of rajini and refers to him as \u201cappa\u201d ( dad ) .\nand the romance goes on and on and on and on\u2026and i bet the bad guys and henchmen were frustrated and retreated to the nearest tea stall .\nof course the mother being evil , this time she stands next to a full taxidermy tiger , gets to know about this relationship . to summarise the plot at this point , she opposes , then she relents and of course you know she\u2019ll be up to something . you know this not because we have a bit of thinking capability . no , it\u2019s because she was looking fierce besides a stuffed tiger . thanks director .\nblah , blah , blah , rajini gets tied up literally in a chair , and elsewhere jyothi was getting married . and this henchman , who was supposed to guard the tied up rajini , wanted something to read . i mean , what else can there be in that room ? bagavad geetha ? wall street journal . no , rajini\u2019s diary of course . he reads it , becomes saddened by rajini\u2019s plight , and actually releases him .\nimagine if all the heroes carry diaries with them . in fact , vijayakanth\u2019s films would be quarter its length .\nvijayakanth : before we indulge in overlong fights , and do unrealistic stunts . would you like to read my diary ?\npakistani terrorist : sure dude . wait let me hang this ak47 . ( reads the diary and tears flows free from his eyes ) oh my god , what have i done . can i be an indian citizen ? pretty please ?\nanyway , rajini\u2019s too late ( it\u2019s that bloody aaia bike , i tell you . he would have reached faster with a mountain bike ) and some junior artist ties thali around jyothi\u2019s neck . too late , dude . as per the norm since the nageswararao days , he hits the bottle which immediately provides enough testosterone to give him beard overnight .\ncut to present day . he is sulking , and he apparently has a kid , a girl , and wife . and some dude played by delhi ganesh fixing things in the house . by chance , jyothi would be in the same town as he is , working as a teacher . he\u2019s married , she\u2019s married . but he still yearns for her , and what happens ?\nwell , readers , this is the part where this review will get boring . not that the scenes are terrible , i have quoted the terrible ones . this is the part where the movie gets awesome . this is the part where you rajini fans can thump your chest and be proud to call yourselves his fan .\nhe is simply fantastic . there are long , quiet scenes later in the movie that would have made a hack actor awkward . but rajini pulls it off professionally ; the subtle change of expressions has to be seen to be believed . especially when both rajini and jyothi meet again after the aaia bike denied rajini of last minute ass kicking and eloping .\nand the ones that catch me off - guard each time i revisit the film is the romance . you would never have seen or would probably never see rajini this romantic . wife suggested that he probably did homework by hanging out long hours with kamal . and the strength of this performance that convinces us on how he could not let her go even after she was married . the last half an hour will really tug your heart , thanks to his and her performance . yes , all my insults apart , she\u2019s a pretty good actress . too bad she didn\u2019t have the look to last longer in the industry .\nadd that to some nice songs , the sad version of the duet mentioned , ada vare vaa , where rajini and the girl demonstrates various yoga moves in fast forward , and the beautiful , vaa vaa vasanthame , this is a highly revisitable movie . and close your kids eyes when tt scenes occur .\nwith apologies to john cleese , graham chapman and micahel palin .

based detection because the signature of the code is each time different . about 20 - 30 % of the file changes .\nto confound virus scanning programs , virus writers created polymorphic viruses . these viruses are more difficult to detect by scanning because each copy of the virus looks different than the other copies . basically , polymorphic code mutates while keeping the original algorithm intact .\nour polymorphic engine is pretty simple at the moment . we could add additional features , such as :\nnow that you have seen the successive elements of the operation of our polymorphic engine , it ' s time to bring it all together . i have included the class header below , followed by the implementation of the main function which generates the polymorphic code .\n8 . the method of claim 5 wherein , when the step of performing a malicious code detection procedure on the optimized loop code indicates the presence of malicious code in the computer code , the steps of optimizing the body and subjecting the optimized body code to a malicious code detection protocol are aborted .\nearly examples of polymorphic malicious code include the tequila virus , smeg ( which literally stood for \u201csimulated metamorphic encryption generator\u201d ) and dark avenger\u2019s mutation engine ( which lesser - skilled virus authors could plug into their malware to grant it the ability to be polymorphic ) .\ncan you elaborate on the context where you heard this ? the closest thing i know is polymorphic malware .\nthe invention has particular applicability to computer code 30 that is polymorphic 10 or metamorphic 20 . when the code 30 is polymorphic 10 , in one embodiment the optimizing step 40 comprises optimizing just the decryption loop 11 , or possibly several decryption loops 11 if the malicious code 10 employs several encryption layers . this is because the viral body 12 is normally written in an already optimal form by the creator of the malicious code 10 .\n18 . the method of claim 1 wherein the malicious code detection procedure comprises emulating the optimized loop code .\nhere is a track i made in 2012 and that was meant to appear on polymorphic code but was not finished in time . the mix is not perfect and i could improve it but in order to respect the sound of polymorphic code i prefer to deliver it as it is / was . : ) deathmatch is one of the two bonus tracks from the australian release of polymorphic code buy ( australia with bonus tracks ) : physical : urltoken itunes : urltoken buy ( europe / us ) : urltoken\njust like implant ' s polymorphic engine , hps ' s polymorphic engine is powerful and advanced . it supports subroutines using call / ret instructions and conditional jumps with nonzero displacement . the code of the polymorphic engine takes about half of the actual virus code , and there are random byte - based blocks inserted between the generated code chains of the decryptor . the full decryptor is built only during the first initialization phase , which makes the virus a slow polymorphic . this means that antivirus vendors cannot test their scanner ' s detection rate efficiently because the infected pc must be rebooted to force the virus to create a new decryptor .\npolymorphic viruses change themselves with each infection . there are even virus - writing toolkits available to help make these viruses .\nnevertheless , all polymorphic viruses carry a constant code virus body . with advanced methods , the body can be decrypted and identified . consider figure 7 . 3 as an illustration .\nmetamorphic malware is considered to be more difficult to write than polymorphic malware . the author may use may use multiple transformation techniques , including register renaming , code permutation , code expansion , code shrinking and garbage code insertion . consequently , advanced techniques such as generic decryption scanning , negative heuristic analysis , emulation and access to virtualization technologies are required for detection .\nwhen dealing with polymorphic code 10 , a peephole optimizer 31 can be very useful as the first step 52 of the optimization process 40 , as part of an instruction decoder . polymorphic code 10 is often littered with small sequences of instructions that cancel each other , such as back - to - back negations , complements , or an increment followed by a decrement .\nwin95 / zmorph is a polymorphic virus 10 that builds it body 12 on the stack . this example illustrates constant folding 53 .\nin the examples of polymorphic code 10 optimization presented in the illustrations that are given below , almost all the transformations that were used were local ones , and they gave very good results . global dead code elimination 63 was the only global optimization implemented , and it brought marginal improvement over local dead code elimination 62 .\npolymorphic malware also makes changes to code to avoid detection . it has two parts , but one part remains the same with each iteration , which makes the malware a little easier to identify .\nin this section , we look at specific optimization techniques usable in the present invention , and see how each one of them can be applied to the simplification of polymorphic 10 and other code .\nas a result of dummy loops elimination , emulation of polymorphic decryptors 11 can become much faster , especially if loops can be nested .\ni understand the concept of polymorphic and metamorphic code but i recently read the wikipedia page on both ( for what ever reason i hadn ' t done this previously ! ) . now i really want to have a go at writing some metamorphic code for myself .\nthe main reason to write polymorphic code is to avoid being hashwise identified , or to have code signature detected , i . e . ids or anti - virus countermeasures may not identify the payload , as it is nicely wrapped - up in its own encrypted form . another reason is to propagate it to multiple copies without having the same signature . many legitimate software vendors also produce polymorphic binaries to protect their applications from software cracking and reverse engineering . when writing shellcode , polymorphism is utilized to create ascii shellcode and alphanumeric shellcode due to the restrictive instruction set . to get started with writing polymorphic shellcode , see the introduction to printable 32 - bit x86 polymorphic shellcode .\nthe present invention is an alternative solution entailing code optimization ( simplification ) techniques . such techniques as copy propagation , constant folding , code motion , and dead - code elimination may be used instead of , or prior to , emulation or other malicious code detection techniques . these turn out to be powerful allies in the fight against malicious code .\nsome polymorphic viruses , such as w32 / coke , use multiple layers of encryption . furthermore , variants of coke also can infect microsoft word documents in a polymorphic way . coke mutates its macro directly with the binary code of the virus instead of using macro code directly . normally , polymorphic macro viruses are very slow because they need a lot of interpretation . because coke generates mutated macros with binary code , it does not suffer from slow - down issues and , as a result , is harder to notice . consider the following example of coke taken from two instances of mutated autoclose ( ) macros shown in listing 7 . 8 .\nmte was quickly followed by many similar engines , such as tpe ( trident polymorphic engine ) , written by masouf khafir in holland in 1993 .\nfigure 1 shows a block of encrypted malware code . the first 16 bytes are shown on the right . the block of code is an exact copy of the encrypted malware code from the initial executable file .\nanother benefit of dead code elimination is that it may eliminate some anti - emulation code designed to stop antivirus programs . the following snippet of code is taken from the decryptor of win32 / hezhi . a .\nthe data presented here were obtained by running a prototype optimizer 39 containing most of the modules described above on some code samples of polymorphic 10 and metamorphic 20 viruses . in each case , we list the disassembly of the original code 30 , followed by the output of the optimizer 39 .\nw95 / hps and w95 / marburg 18 were the first viruses to use real 32 - bit polymorphic engines . these two viruses were authored by the infamous spanish virus writer , griyo , in 1998 . he also created several highly polymorphic viruses earlier on dos , such as the virus implant 19 .\nthe generated code will look different each time . this is the main goal of a polymorphic engine , after all ! i have included two different decryption functions below , both generated by our engine from the same input data .\nin response , the mte engine returns a polymorphic decryption routine with an encrypted virus body in the supplied buffer . ( see listing 7 . 6 . )\nwhen the computer code 30 comprises a decryption loop 11 , 21 and a viral body 12 , 22 , one method embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of optimizing 40 the decryption loop 11 , 21 to produce optimized loop code ; performing a malicious code detection procedure on the optimized loop code ; optimizing the body 12 , 22 to produce optimized body code ; and subjecting the optimized body code to a malicious code detection protocol . this embodiment is particularly useful when the computer code is metamorphic 20 . when the computer code 30 comprises more than one decryption loop 11 , 21 , one method embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of optimizing 40 the outermost decryption loop 11 , 21 to produce optimized loop code ; performing a malicious code detection procedure on the optimized loop code ; decrypting the outermost layer , for instance by emulating the optimized loop code ; then proceeding in the same way for the second decryption loop , third decryption loop , etc . . . . and all the following innermost encryption layers , until the body 12 , 22 is decrypted ; optimizing the body 12 , 22 to produce optimized body code ; and subjecting the optimized body code to a malicious code detection protocol . the malicious code detection procedure can be pattern matching , emulation , checksumming , heuristics , tracing , or algorithmic scanning . the malicious code detection protocol can be pattern matching , emulation , checksumming , heuristics , tracing , x - raying , or algorithmic scanning . the step of optimizing the body can entail using one or more outputs from the step of optimizing the decryption loop and / or the step of performing a malicious code detection procedure on the optimized loop code . when the step of performing a malicious code detection procedure on the optimized loop code indicates that the analyzed code 30 contains malicious code , the steps of optimizing the body and subjecting the optimized body code to a malicious code detection protocol can be aborted . the method can comprise the additional step of revealing encrypted body code . this can be done by emulation or by applying a key gleaned from the optimized loop code .\non exit from the loop , the processor flags and registers eax , ebx , ecx and ebp are dead ( they are killed by the code following the loop ) . global dead code elimination 63 yields the following code :\na polymorphic virus contains what is known as a polymorphic or mutating engine . this engine functions like a unique re - coding agent that modifies the virus on every infection or when certain criteria are met . the engine is programmed to re - program key parts of the virus such that they do the same things only via different code strings . this makes them harder to identify and crack .\nboundary conditions are not so clear - cut in the case of programs containing self - modifying code . in a polymorphic virus 10 , the decryptor 11 produces a piece of code 12 and then executes it 12 . the set of live variables on exit from the decryptor 11 is hard to determine , because it depends on the register and memory usage of the code 12 it decrypts .\nnonsignature - based detection mechanisms include , for example , the use of heuristics to detect , analyze , and describe the characteristics or behavior of malicious code and to provide safeguards against malicious code for which signatures do not yet exist or for which existing signatures may not be effective . this includes polymorphic malicious code ( i . e . , code that changes signatures when it replicates ) . this control enhancement does not preclude the use of signature - based detection mechanisms .\noptimization ( 40 ) is an original way of dealing with polymorphic ( 10 ) and other malicious code . the unique ability of optimization ( 40 ) to simplify tangled metamorphic code ( 20 ) into a readable form can be a crucial advantage in the response to a fast - spreading metamorphic worm ( 20 ) .\nhowever , the amount of dead code in the cases described above represents a very small percentage of the overall program . on the other hand , the dead code ratio in the output of polymorphic engines 10 is typically higher than 25 % , and sometimes much more ( see some examples in the below illustrations . )\nwrite the payload code to be dissimulated . at the end of this code put a bootstrap that will decrypt and run the code ( in php / ruby / perl / whatnot , eval ( ) it , in c , smash the stack with it , in c # , use reflection ) . at the beginning of the payload code , call for the encryption / duplication code .\n\u201cpattern matching\u201d is a technique for recognizing malicious code by looking for patterns or sequences of bits ( e . g . , signatures ) within the code .\nanother technique used by malware is encryption . malware code can be encrypted using a key to render it unreadable even with the use of disassembler . but in order for malware to generate different copies of itself , it uses a polymorphic algorithm .\na very effective approach is to embed an assembler within the payload , as well as create an intermediate language ( il ) which the polymorphic engine uses to create asm on the fly . a simple example would be the following il code .\nthe good news is that most anti - virus software does a good job today of detecting polymorphic malware \u2013 perhaps by looking for the encrypted part of the code\u2019s decryptor ( which can itself be variable , of course ) and other techniques .\nthis opens up the possibility for virus writers to use the same polymorphic engine in many different viruses successfully unless such viruses are handled with heuristic or generic detection methods .\npolymorphic viruses can create an endless number of new decryptors that use different encryption methods to encrypt the constant part ( except their data areas ) of the virus body .\npolymorphic algorithms use different keys to encrypt and generate different copies of itself . which means that knowing one key is not enough to detect different copies of the malware .\npolymorphic malware generates a new key in order to encrypt the malware code in memory for the purpose of writing a new copy of the malware into a different file . it thus generates different binaries every time the malware drops a copy of itself .\nwhen optimizing polymorphic virus code 10 , best effort is often enough . optimizing towards exactly equivalent code is a desirable property , for instance to ensure that the emulation of optimized code 37 will yield proper results , but not a necessity as long as the output 37 of the optimizer 39 can be used reliably for pattern matching , checksumming , heuristics , and other kinds of information gathering related to virus detection .\nripe for dead code elimination once the flags of the \u201ccmp\u201d are proven unused .\n> i was talking about actual code modifications . could ruby modify it ' s\nwin32 / dislex is a complex polymorphic virus 10 based on the lexotan engine . this example is taken from the polymorphic loop 11 that decrypts the data area 12 of the virus 10 . once decrypted , the content of the data area 12 can be used for detection . this example illustrates the use of optimization 40 to speed up emulation .\nnow that the entire code of the function has been generated , we can write out the encrypted data block , so it will follow the code of the function .\nas the years passed , polymorphic malware got more and more sophisticated \u2013 hoping to beat anti - virus software one of two ways . the malware author\u2019s hope was that we would either fail to detect all instances of their mutating code , or would false alarm on innocent code making our detection routines more of a pain than the actual virus .\na method embodiment of the present invention determines whether computer code 30 contains malicious code . the method comprises the steps of optimizing 40 the computer code 30 to produce optimized code ; and subjecting the optimized code to a malicious code detection protocol . the malicious code detection protocol can be any protocol for detecting malicious code . thus , the protocol can be pattern matching , emulation , checksumming , heuristics , tracing , x - raying , algorithmic scanning , or any combination thereof . \u201calgorithmic scanning\u201d is the use of any custom designed algorithm by which one searches for malicious code . the optimizing 40 comprises performing one or more of the following techniques : constant folding 53 , copy propagation 54 , non - obvious dead code elimination 62 , 63 , peephole optimization 52 , code motion 49 , abstract interpretation 59 , 68 , instruction specialization 55 , and control flow graph reduction 44 . two or more of these techniques may be combined synergistically .\nvirlock is a ransomware that has metamorphic algorithm , as discussed in the blog post cited above . it also has what i have coined as an on - demand polymorphic algorithm .\nit is a common feature of many polymorphic viruses 10 ( and metamorphic viruses 20 ) to avoid direct use of constants by replacing them with series of instructions producing the desired result . the absence of constants such as looping factors , memory addresses , and decryption keys makes the detection of polymorphic decryptors 11 more difficult . constant folding can help recover these features .\nusing randomly generated algorithm , generating a unique decryption code in the selected programming language .\nthis random choice of registers will contribute to the generated code being different each time .\nthe information system updates malicious code protection mechanisms only when directed by a privileged user .\nincorporates the results from malicious code analysis into organizational incident response and flaw remediation processes .\nmethods , apparati , and computer -

obvious dead code elimination ( 62 , 63 ) , code motion ( 49 ) , peephole optimization ( 52 ) , abstract interpretation ( 59 , 68 ) , instruction specialization ( 55 ) , and control flow graph reduction ( 44 ) .\nmethods , apparati , and computer -

virus software can target ( along with other techinques to counter changes in that small piece of code ) .\nregular polymorphic ( literally \u201cmany shapes\u201d ) malware is malicious code which changes its appearance through obfuscation and encryption , ensuring that no sample looks the same . although the idea of mutating malware sounds quite scary , it\u2019s actually been used by malicious hackers since the early 1990s .\nmost malware uses a simple decryption algorithm to decrypt the malware code in its virtual memory . this gives researchers a chance to read and analyze the malware code . it also provides a chance for antivirus engines to read and determine whether or not the code is malicious . the encryption keys don\u2019t matter that much once the malware code has been decrypted into the memory . malware using different keys will still generate the same decrypted malware code in memory .\nthe application of selected malicious code analysis tools and techniques provides organizations with a more in - depth understanding of adversary tradecraft ( i . e . , tactics , techniques , and procedures ) and the functionality and purpose of specific instances of malicious code . understanding the characteristics of malicious code facilitates more effective organizational responses to current and future threats . organizations can conduct malicious code analyses by using reverse engineering techniques or by monitoring the behavior of executing code .\nwe also use the intel syntax for x86 microprocessor assembly code . for instance the instruction :\nonce dead code elimination 62 has removed useless instructions from basic blocks and code motion 49 has moved instructions across block boundaries , some blocks may turn out empty , or almost empty .\nwin95 / puron is a metamorphic virus 20 that mixes dead code with the meaningful instructions of its body 22 , and splits its body 22 into islands of code linked by jumps .\na perfectly written polymorphic virus would share nothing identically with the same virus on a different machine . this is theoretically possible . and , would theoretically be unbeatable by an anti - virus program .\nthis transformation is named \u201cdead code elimination\u201d . why would a program contain dead code ? dead code may result from high - level constructs if the programmer overlooked an unneeded variable assignment , but it also very often appears as the result of other optimization techniques we will describe shortly .\nnewer polymorphic engines use an rda - based decryptor that implements a brute - force attack against its constant but variably encrypted virus body in a multiencrypted manner . manual analysis of such viruses might lead to great surprises . often there are inefficiencies of randomness in such polymorphic engines , which can be used as a counterattack . sometimes even a single wildcard string can do the magic of perfect detection .\na traditional form of attack by cyber criminals , polymorphic malware , has the ability to hide itself , changing variations with each new device while keeping its original algorithm . since the code is continuously changing , it becomes somewhat obscure through multiple attacks , making it harder for the next attackers .\n9 . the method of claim 1 further comprising the additional step of , after the step of performing a malicious code detection procedure on the optimized loop code , revealing an encrypted body .\npolymorphic viruses threw a new gauntlet down at the feet of anti - virus software makers . it makes detection of viruses several orders of magnitude more difficult than any other previous virus - hiding technique .\nin most cases , this type of encryption was used in executable file infectors . due to the level of complexity of polymorphic engines , and the necessity of an in - depth understanding of assembly language for their creation , these days polymorphic engines are rarely used ( one exception to this is virut which , i ' d like to point out , is strongly suspected of being polish in origin ! )\nthere\u2019s a few ways to programmatically create unique code that performs the same function as the previous .\nby using an il , we avoid having to first disassemble the stub code before mutating it .\nthis invention pertains to the field of minimizing the impact of malicious code attacks to computer systems .\n\u201cmalicious computer code\u201d or \u201cmalicious code\u201d is any code that is present in a computer without the knowledge and / or without the consent of an authorized user of the computer , and / or any code that can harm the computer or its contents . thus , malicious code includes viruses , worms , trojan horses , spam , and adware . at certain places herein , the word \u201cvirus\u201d is used generically to include worms and trojan horses , as well as viruses in the narrow sense .\nprevious paragraphs already discussed several ways to make emulation faster by optimizing 40 the code 30 to emulate . in many situations , pattern matching on the optimized code can also replace emulation for the purpose of detection ( see the below illustrations ) , though emulation may still be needed for exact variant identification . for very complex polymorphic viruses 20 , the emulation speed can be improved by factors of hundreds .\npungila c . , negru v .

encrypts itself with a different key , thereby appearing to be different each time it propagates .\nthe concept of mte is to make a function call to the mutation engine function and pass control parameters in predefined registers . the engine takes care of building a polymorphic shell around the simple virus inside it .\ntoday , hundreds of polymorphic engines are known . most of these engines were only used to create a couple of viruses . after a polymorphic decryptor can be detected , using it becomes a disadvantage to virus writers because any new viruses are covered by the same detection . such detections , however , usually come with the price of several false positives and false negatives . more reliable techniques detect and recognize the virus body itself .\nthe process of producing an optimized version of the original code ( 30 ) automatically suppresses some features that can be a hindrance to human malicious code analysis , like overlapping instructions and cast - away branches .\n< snip > i was talking about actual code modifications . could ruby modify it ' s own code ? take this example . . . ruby asks the user the url of a code modification thing ( eg , a cleaner version of a patch , or just a patch ) . what is the url ?\nfigure 2 shows the decrypted version of the same block of code shown in figure 1 . after decrypting the necessary bytes , the malware executes the decrypted code , then encrypts it back with a different key .\n\u201cdecryption loop\u201d is a section of code containing instructions to decrypt an encrypted body of the code . the term \u201cdecryptor\u201d is often used synonymously with \u201cdecryption loop\u201d , and sometimes used slightly more generically than \u201cdecryption loop\u201d .\nconsider the following example of a decryptor , simplified for illustration . the polymorphic decryptor of the virus is placed after the variably encrypted virus body . the decryptor is split between small islands of code routines , which can appear in mixed order . in the example shown in listing 7 . 7 , the decryptor starts at the decryptor _ start label , and the decryption continues until the code finally jumps to the decrypted virus body .\nour polymorphic engine allows any set of output registers to be defined ( that is , we are not limited to setting the value returned in eax ) . this makes it possible for the function to output extra values .\nfig . 9 ( a ) is a control flow graph for an exemplary section of code before reduction .\nthe following assembly code taken from a sample of win32 / zmist . a serves to illustrate the transformation :\ninto a nop instruction , thus emptying its definitions set and making it a candidate for dead code elimination .\ntracing can be used to detect polymorphic decryptors 11 that present some easily recognizable characteristics , but are split into islands of code linked together by branches ( win32 / marburg , win32 / orez . ) it can also been used to detect metamorphic bodies 22 that use a weak form of metamorphism where some fixed instructions are always present .\nin time , polymorphic algorithms evolved and became ever more sophisticated , in order to make it as difficult as possible for antivirus programs to analyze viruses and run them in an emulated environment . some well - known algorithms included :\nin this article , we will cover all the steps necessary to create a simple polymorphic engine , which will serve to encrypt any supplied data , and generate a unique decryption procedure , with the encrypted data embedded within it .\nmaybe you noticed as much , but there are examples of assembler metamorphasis in the wikipedia - linked symantec pdf at the bottom of the metamorphic code article . also , more sample code seems to exist for quines , which look like a good place to start insofar as metamorphic code seems ( more ) understandable relative to quines .\nrather than guessing boundary conditions , an alternative is to let a user specify them to the state tracking module 33 of the optimizer 39 . more generally , allowing the user to specify conditions at various program points makes the optimizer 39 more flexible , and capable of handling buggy code produced by some polymorphic engines 10 . win32 / hezhi sometimes fails to finish its decryption loop 11 with a proper backwards jump . win32 / simile . d produces some corruptions where the polymorphic decryptor 11 patches itself . user - supplied options would allow the optimizer 39 to circumvent these problems .\nthat means that the code which is run in your browser is completely different each time . if we simply tried to compare the code to previous examples of the malware we have seen , we wouldn\u2019t get a match .\nstefan , thanks for defending the ducks ; ) . but i feel that you forget that ruby is perfectly polymorphic as sharon has shown above . i do not really see how dt and polymurphy ; ) are related . cheers robert\nhere we do not discuss the recognition of loops or the exact conditions to use code motion safely . it is enough to rely on the intuitive idea of a loop to see the value of the code motion transformation above .\nin the last decade , dealing with ever more complex polymorphic viruses has been one of the prominent challenges faced by the anti - virus industry . the traditional approach of emulating polymorphic decryption loops to reach the constant virus body underneath is widely regarded as the most powerful defense against polymorphism . once decrypted , the virus body can be used for detection purposes and lends itself to a detailed analysis . unfortunately , this approach is computationally expensive and reaches its limits when faced with metamorphic viruses .\nmany similar peephole optimizer 31 tricks can be played , and these will be apparent to people who have some experience working with polymorphic viruses 10 . one other case deserves special mention though , the case of back - to - back conditional branches .\nto illustrate the benefits of constant folding further , let us use an example related to heuristic detection . suppose a heuristic engine attempts to detect viral - looking code by searching for small suspicious code snippets . one such snippet may be :\n7 . the method of claim 5 wherein the step of optimizing the body comprises using at least one output from the group of steps consisting of optimizing the decryption loop and performing a malicious code detection procedure on the optimized loop code .\n10 . the method of claim 9 wherein the step of revealing an encrypted body comprises emulating the optimized loop code .\n17 . the method of claim 16 wherein the backward pass operation comprises the additional step of global dead code elimination .\nthis article contains more specific information then wikipedia . this article does not , however , contain true source code . if you would like my advice , though it is highly unlikely that would will find sample source code , you may be able to find sufficient academic documentation to create your own metamorphic code . consider this to start ( google scholar ) :\nhowever , polymorphic engines have found another use : software protection systems , or exe - protectors , such as pelock , asprotect , enigmaprotector , themida , and obsidium . they are used to make it more difficult for an application ' s code to be analyzed by crackers ( i . e . people who try to break software protection ) , and to make it harder for automated unpackers to be created ( i . e . tools which remove software protection ) . if you possess any shareware program which is protected by an exe - protector , there is a 99 % chance that it uses a polymorphic encryption engine .\nthe optimized code 37 is longer than the original , but this is simply a consequence of expressing the memory state on exit from the block as a series of byte assignments . the flags and registers eax , ecx , and edx are considered dead on entry into getprocaddress , which allows some dead code elimination 62 . the other registers and all memory locations are considered live , to be conservative , but global dead code elimination 63 across api calls could help simplify the code further .\nfinally , i suspect you may want to run the generated code through a debugger rather than just executing it directly and hoping for the best . i found that if i copied the generated file over the original executable , the debugger was happy to let me step through it while still viewing the original source code . then whenever you get to a point in the code that says junk , you can pop into the assembly view and look at the code that has been generated .\nransomware employs different techniques and attack vectors in order to infiltrate your computer system . they also use different armoring techniques to evade detection and avoid analysis . one trick they use to harden themselves against analysis is through implementing metamorphic , encryption , and polymorphic algorithms .\nlocal optimizations are less costly and can typically be done in linear time . most interesting global data - flow problems are proven to be np - complete , but there is empirical evidence that some can be solved by fast algorithms , at least for programs with a usual control flow structure ( and , in this context , polymorphic code 10 does have a usual structure ! ) .\nfigure 3 shows the newly encrypted block of code , which is now totally different from the original bytes . every single time the malware needs to execute a certain block of code , it will be encrypted back to a different set of bytes .\nmetamorphic malware is rewritten with each iteration so that each succeeding version of the code is different from the preceding one . the code changes makes it difficult for signature - based antivirus software programs to recognize that different iterations are the same malicious program .\nnotice that copy propagation should not be done for destination operands . the original code is not equivalent to the following instruction !\ni aimed to extend james holderness ' s php answer a little , into a working self replicating and morphing code example .\nas used herein , \u201cnon - obvious\u201d dead code elimination means removing dead code other than a nop ( \u201cno operation\u201d ) or a simple operation such as cli , sti , clc , stc and others commonly used as single - instruction nop ' s .\nthe next important development in the history of polymorphic viruses was mte 17 , a mutation engine written by the bulgarian dark avenger . the first version mte was released during the summer of 1991 , later followed by another version in early 1992 . the idea of the mutation engine is based on modular development . for novice virus writers , it was difficult to write a polymorphic virus . however , more advanced virus writers came to their rescue . the mte engine was released as an object that could be linked to any simple virus .\nin that context stefan ' s response would indeed make some sense , i do however not adhere to the differentiation . polymorphic behavior seems completely unrelated to implementation , it is imho a dangerous path to walk , to define a language by it ' s implementation details .\nthis article explains all the steps needed to write a c + + program which dynamically generates encryption algorithms in x86 assembly code .\ngenerating additional helper functions , e . g . returning values which were originally put in place by code in the main decryption function\nsimply put , metamorphic algorithms enable malware to generate different copies of its binaries , while they continue to look like normal code .\nlike constant folding , copy propagation can create new opportunities for dead code elimination . this is another example of the synergy mentioned above . in this example , after removing the reference to variable x in the second statement , the first statement becomes dead code .\nthe comparison must always succeed , so the jump is never taken . after copy propagation and instruction specialization , this code became :\n3 . constant folding 53 and copy propagation 54 should indicate if the stack pointer was earlier set to point to the code .\nsince the calls are in order in the optimized code , a simple search string can be used to detect the virus 20 .\nthe modification process is very simplistic . the source code is just interspersed with sequences of assembly instructions that effectively do nothing . when the program is run , it finds these sequences and randomly replaces them with different code ( which obviously also does nothing ) .\ngithub is home to over 28 million developers working together to host and review code , manage projects , and build software together .\nmoving computations earlier in the control flow is a common type of code motion , but it is not the only one . some other similar transformations delay the execution of statements , and possibly duplicate statements , also in an attempt to improve the code in loops .\nthe benefits from dead code elimination are numerous . suppose the instruction stream above is part of a decryption loop 11 , and the loop 11 has to be emulated to decrypt the virus body 12 . removing the dead instructions from the loop 11 and then emulating the resulting , simpler code makes the emulation faster . dead code elimination itself has a cost , but the savings easily outweigh the cost in most cases , since dead code elimination takes place only once , whereas the removed loop instructions might have been executed thousands of times .\nanother way the company is using polymorphic code is through targeting the age - old sql injection attacks , which was the method of attack on 17 credit card companies and retailers last year that resulted in more than 150 million compromised credit cards . it\u2019s also the likely method of attack that recently brought down target\u2019s database of 70 million cardholders\u2019 personal information , according to a report by a cybsecurity firm called isight partners .\nsome global variables where our code will be loaded . global variables are bad , but i ' m not a particularly good coder .\nto create this engine , we ' ll use the c + + language and the asmjit library , which allows dynamic generation of assembly code . asmjit makes it possible to create assembly code at the c + + level , as if you were writing it by hand . it is possible to create 32 - or 64 - bit instructions , and even pseudoinstructions . thanks to this , the library can be used to target code for 32 - and 64 - bit environments . in our case we ' ll stick with 32 - bit code .\n11 . the method of claim 9 wherein the step of revealing an encrypted body comprises applying a key gleaned from the optimized loop code .\nthe first known polymorphic virus , 1260 , was written in the u . s . by mark washburn in 1990 16 . this virus has many interesting techniques that were previously predicted by fred cohen . the virus uses two sliding keys to decrypt its body , but more importantly , it inserts junk instructions into its decryptor . these instructions are garbage in the code . they have no function other than altering the appearance of the decryptor .\nsimilar to a regular polymorphic malware using a key , it decrypts the malware code into the memory . the only difference is that virlock only decrypts the code that it needs at a given moment . and then encrypts it back . to further complicate things , it then uses a different key when it encrypts it back to memory . the new instance of the encrypted malware is now different from the initial binary . and the longer virlock uses this code , and its continuing series of decryption and encryption patterns , the malware in memory will look completely different from the original encrypted copy before it was loaded in memory . dropping a different copy of itself is just simply copying the content of the memory into a file .\ncentral management is the organization - wide management and implementation of malicious code protection mechanisms . central management includes planning , implementing , assessing , authorizing , and monitoring the organization - defined , centrally managed flaw malicious code protection security controls . related to : au - 2 , si - 8\nif the detection algorithm for the virus is based on loop 11 , 21 recognition , dead code elimination helps too , by removing unneeded or redundant instructions , thus exposing the more meaningful parts of the code for easier pattern matching . ( see the win32 / dislex example of illustration e below . ) characteristics of the eliminated instructions , such as the statistic distribution of opcodes in dead code , may also be used for detection .\nd . addresses the receipt of false positives during malicious code detection and eradication and the resulting potential impact on the availability of the information system .\nfig . 9 ( b ) is a control flow graph illustrating the code of fig . 9 ( a ) after it has been reduced .\nby applying the constant folding transformation described above and then applying the heuristics to the optimized code , the anti - heuristic trick can be circumvented ."]}

( which also initially confused me until i realised what his motivation was ) . basically it ' s a doomed romance between him and a quiet girl who works in a menswear store .\nmegamind is a highly entertaining and inventive animated comedy that deserves far more praise than what it has received . i really thought that the film was one of those films that really exceeded expectations , and was quite good with the story , voice cast and 9of course animation . the film has plenty of good comedic bits , and to viewers who enjoy a fun , entertaining comedy that is engaging from start to finish , megamind is definitely worth your time . i thought that the idea here was very good , and of course simple , and while using that , the filmmakers were able to pull off something quite memorable in the process . for what it is , it ' s an impressive will ferrell vehicle , and here he does some very good work as the lead character , megamind . if you love animated features , megamind is a film for you . with some great on - screen gags , well crafted story , and good performances from the talent voicing the characters , megamind succeeds at being a wonderful animated comedy , one that uses the bare minimum to really grab your attention . i felt that this movie definitely deserved more praise than what it initially got , and it should belong among the most memorable genre films . megamind has great characters , a good idea that just grabs your attention . what megamind does so well is that it uses its cast to really elevate the film ' s material , and since the cast is comprised of some of today ' s funniest actors , it ' s what gives the film its edge to make it stand out among other animated features , that and it ' s visuals , effective direction and well thought out comedy . megamind is well worth seeing if you enjoy animated features and it ' s a movie that is well worth your time .\nthe as -

warming story , but the way tony goldwyn and the cast of conviction tell it , it ' s not so gripping ( boring even at parts ) and compelling , but it tries to manipulate the audience to care , to cry , to cheer . but to tell the truth , it got about half - way . there is almost no history to these characters , and there are a lot of people to remember the names of , and we are supposed to hate , or love these people , but we don ' t know much about them , nor have we seen much of them either . the performances by hilary swank , sam rockwell , melissa leo , minnie driver , juliette lewis , baliee madison , and tobias campbell are what keep this film above water . see this film for the extraordinary performances , if for nothing else .\nin the pre -

) .\nvery multilayered tragedy features some beautiful performances from senior cast members , punctuated by a melancholy score by jo hisaishi . the central love story between lonely woman fukatsu and lonely youth turned murderer tsumabuki is good but runs a bit too long . however , what i really liked about this film is that it takes the time to fully explore all of it ' s subplots . the one of the father seeking solace , then revenge , over his daughters murder being particularly poignant . then , the young murderer ' s grandmother ' s stoicism in the face of adversity - just beautiful , but sad of course . no one does melodrama as well as the japanese , and i ' m a sucker for it . be warned . some moments will require kleenex .\ndozens of interviews \u2014 along with news clips and arresting aerial shots of new york , iceland and other disaster areas \u2014 are folded into a clear and absorbing history , narrated by matt damon . the music ( an opening song , \u201cbig time , \u201d by peter gabriel , and a score by alex heffes ) and the clean wide - screen cinematography provide an aesthetic polish that is welcome for its own sake and also important to the movie\u2019s themes . the handsomely lighted and appointed interiors convey a sense of the rarefied , privileged worlds in which the wall street operators and their political enablers flourished , and the elegance of the presentation also subliminally bolsters the film\u2019s authority . this is not a piece of ragged muckraking or breathless advocacy . it rests its outrage on reason , research and careful argument .\njust when we think we ' re dealing with a straight forward thriller , the story takes a sharp left turn and plunges us into a much more ambiguous space where good and evil seem to slowly merge , reflect each other , and then swap as the film gradually upends all our preconceptions . yet shimizu is given a temporary oasis from the implacable march of fate in the form of mitsuyo , a young naive woman who , unaware of his notoriety , falls in love with him . convinced that despite his dysfunctional behaviour , where everything , including their own sex , is commodified and stripped of emotion , mitsuyo believes they can find a way to be together . at lunch with her in a twee tourist trap shimizu blurts out his terrible secret . as her illusions about shimizu ' s character are shattered , she chooses to replace these with a delusional conviction that somehow their love can transcend the situation and remove them from the normal constraints of society .\n, \u201d which has been the heavy favorite among critics this past year , picked up yet another victory by topping the magazine\u2019s ranking of domestic films .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\na young woman ' s murder provokes reflection on the ugliness and villainy of modern society .\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out the latest videos and trailers , and see which spy movies topped the box office in our mission : impossible guide .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\na grisly unsolved murder links three seemingly unrelated stories in three different japanese cities .\non the anniversary of the death of the mother of a hip and happening tokyo - based photographer , the son returns to his hometown for the funeral . what follows is a return to the past that is . . . see full summary \u00bb"]}

( although some early reviews of independence day : resurgence do appear to be relatively kind . ) it can also be read as a signal that with a presold , megabudget sequel like this , the studio\u2019s marketing team thinks critics simply don\u2019t matter : it\u2019s an independence day sequel . your decision to buy a ticket won\u2019t have anything to do with whether a critic liked it or not .\npart of the problem was that the thing opened two weeks after e . t . and while e . t . featured a benevolent alien and a happy ending , the thing starred a violent , evil alien and had an ending that left audiences scratching their heads a bit .\nthat sentiment is precisely what critics of to the bone have warned about : that the film glamorizes eating disorders and calorie counting and might serve as an instructional video on how best to have an eating disorder .\nnow , keene says , she\u2019s glad about depp\u2019s casting because it means a native person isn\u2019t \u201cembroiled in that mess . \u201d\nthough it\u2019s often cited as a remake of the 1951 film the thing from another world , it\u2019s really not . though the two films do share the same source material\u2014john w . campbell jr . \u2019s 1938 story , \u201cwho goes there ?

( willingham had graduated from the law school ; she was back in cambridge for a teaching fellowship in the sociology department of harvard college . ) the meeting was to deliver the news that winston\u2019s dismission had been overturned by the faculty . but the movie is misleading on the process and the timeline . winston missed the entire 2011\u20132012 academic year because of the finding of the administrative board . during that year , he was barred from attending classes while his case slowly worked its way through the law school\u2019s disciplinary process ; at that time , expulsion required that two - thirds of the faculty vote to ratify the ruling . it wasn\u2019t until the spring of 2012 that the faculty , after reviewing the testimony from the administrative hearing , voted to dismiss the charges against winston and allow his return that fall .\nthe frame ' s john horn with angelina jolie and rithy panh , who co - directed the film\nfirst they killed my father .\nwas the most expensive film ever made at that point , and it all hinged on this liquid metal guy . so now we\u2019re making , essentially , one of the two main characters of a $ 100 million movie a cg effect . that was really scary .\nthe universal story of people struggling to survive was the starting point . but then the characters and the situation have to be grounded in lived experience . if we look hard enough , we can all see the conscious cruelty at the heart of the state\u2019s provision for those in desperate need and the use of bureaucracy , the intentional inefficiency of bureaucracy , as a political weapon : \u2018this is what happens if you don\u2019t work ; if you don\u2019t find work you will suffer . \u2019 the anger at that was the motive behind the film .\neverybody says , \u201coh , you\u2019re going to replace actors . \u201d you can\u2019t replace actors . we\u2019ve created duplicates , clones , but they can\u2019t act . they\u2019re a computer , for god\u2019s sake .\nhijuelos said that authorities don ' t have a good sense of the full impact of the disaster . news reports from mexico on wednesday afternoon showed that rescuers were still in the early stages of going through rubble piles to look for trapped people and bodies .\n\u201cthe main objective of a premium vod ( video on demand ) release is to try to get more income from vod than you might expect from just a standard vod release , \u201d says a source at bulldog film distribution . \u201cmisconduct definitely wasn\u2019t a flop for us as a distributor , despite only making a few thousand pounds at the box office . theatrical is just one area of the whole release and other areas , including pvod , are much more positive . \u201d\nit was an impossible number of shots for an era in which none of the equipment or the processes that were used to produce the film existed . it was overwhelming . it took almost a year just to get the camera going .\n3 ) the film is set to be directed by kirsten sheridan , daughter of jim sheridan and co - writer of in america .\nas for depp , he told npr that his version of tonto has to give a peek at the stereotypes that exist so that , when the stereotypes are flipped , the audience can recognize it . well - meaning efforts aside , keene doesn\u2019t see it that way . \u201cit would have been really cool and powerful if tonto was just another guy who happened to be indian , if they didn\u2019t have to go into the whole mystical , spiritual fantasy element , \u201d she says . \u201cjust let tonto be a person . that would be really powerful . \u201d"]}

centric world ! but when the experience repeated in the next two days , i had no option but to surrender to the inevitability of this truth ! one bengali gentleman confided that he stopped reading the english subtitle after the first 5 minutes \u2013 he didn\u2019t need it to follow the film . . another gentleman told me on sunday that he is a repeat audience \u2013 he had already experienced the film once on saturday\u2026 actually , in the sunday\u2019s houseful show i had experienced something which i will carry with me for a long while \u2013 as there is no online booking service at # nandan2 , people started to line up for ticket from around 12 pm . . and by 1 : 15 or so , the hall was already jammed pack \u2013 but the inflow of the people continued . the seats reserved for the guests have disappeared\u2026 and parents started shifting the younger children to their laps to vacate more seats\u2026 still we are short of space ! finally few audiences from far east sat down on the steps of the hall to enjoy the film ! not sure how people kept on coming in long after houseful board is put up . . not sure whether the bengali security guard of nandan \u2013 whose home & heart lies in assam & is immensely proud to see an assamese film running commercially in nandan - had anything to do with it \u2026 not that i\u2019m complaining\nas a filmmaker , always believed \u2013 strongly \u2013 that human emotions have an universal language . but at times , some experiences had made me question my belief \u2026 thank you # kolkata for reaffirming my fait\np / s \u2013 got a call from nandan on the 23rd of june . . the projectionist told me , after the day\u2019s screening , there was spontaneous clapping by the audience . . in a special screening it happens at times , but to get it in a regular commercial screening . . i feel it is something special . . feeling humbled . .\ni still remember my first ( aborted ) attempt to visit sikkim \u2013 also known as the lone bother of the northeastern states of seven sisters \u2013 way back in 1996 . we , a bunch of friends from across india , boarded a train from guwahati on a cold night in the end of december with a plan of spending the new year in sikkim . but , ironically we had to return halfway as the railway connectivity to the njp station \u2013 in the foothill of sikkim \u2013 was cut off due to a blast by the insurgent\u2026\nironical , because sikkim was \u2013 and continues to be \u2013 one of the most peaceful state of india . and it stands out even more especially while looking in context of the seven other beautiful but volatile sister states . during the shoot of guns & guitars , we couldn\u2019t stop wondering what could be the reason for this beautiful paradox . when we put this question to the elderly owner of \u2018netuk homestay\u2019 mr . prema namgyal , he had an interesting take on the subject . according to him , budhist in sikkim believed that their land is blessed by guru padmasambabha . and as a result , the inhabitants are able to keep their desire under control . \u201cif you are able to keep your desires controlled , automatically your ambitions are not so big that it cannot fulfill . and once your ambitions are fulfilled , you are a satisfied person\u201d .\nthere is another aspect where sikkim stands apart from his northeastern sisters \u2013 it is one state of the beautiful region which has exploited its tourism potential to the maximum . regardless of whether you are tourist or a traveler ( yes , i do differentiate between the two , strongly - after all , \u201cthe traveler sees what he sees , the tourist sees what he has come to see\u201d ) it is impossible not to fall in love with the picture perfect tsomgo lake . situated 38 km from gangtok , the lake derives its water from the melting snows of the mountains surrounding the lake . once there , the tourists generally flock to climb onto the beautifully decorated yak\u2019s back for a photo opportunity , whereas the travelers are more likely to soak in the overall majestic beauty of the surroundings\u2026\nmoving ahead in the same route , we reach indo \u2013china border at nathula pass . located at an altitude of 14 , 140 feet , nathula pass was the place through which the famous silk route used to operate until 1962 . this used to be a trade route between india and tibet . after some 44 years of closure , the old silk route again reopened in july 2006 allowing limited trade between india and tibet . there is no \u2018no man\u2019s land\u2019 here . in the border , we came across a young lieutenant from indian army and talked about his hometown pune \u2013 which was almost like my second home too , having spend major portion of my college life there\u2026 however what took the cake ( or in this case , momo ) for my tired and hungry shooting crew was undoubtedly the hot cuppa and the steaming hot \u2026yes , momos \u2013 in the caf\u00e9 appropriately named \u2018caf\u00e9 14000 feet\u2019 . well , it was served stemming hot , but is totally cold even before we could take a bite - thanks to the freezing temperature and persistent snow fall outside !\nthat evening in gantok was at \u2018caf\u00e9 alive\u2019 where we met neha \u2013 the girl with the gorgeous voice \u2013 while she is performing in a caf\u00e9 . chatting over another cup of coffee ( which thankfully didn\u2019t get cold that fast in the pleasant weather of gangtok ) we had the obvious question for her \u2013 whether she faces the usual middle class bias . viz . , why you are returning home late after performances , what the society would say etc . etc . she admitted that yes that indeed is the case . thankfully , she added , she has a supportive dad who encourages her all the time . and he also attends her performances regularly \u2013 she adds . well , once you have heard or seen her perform , it is but natural that you will become her fan \u2013 father included .\nneha , however , is one amongst the equal . as we were travelling across the northeast , the overwhelming feeling was , \u2018 so many beautiful voices and so many unheard songs in every nook and corner\u2026 pity , all the outside world gets to hear about us is the sounds of gun shots and news of death\u2026\u2019\n[ life is what happens to us when we are busy planning other things \u2013 said john lennon . and that precisely what happened to us when the series on guns & guitars journey got derailed \u2013 or rather took a long halt on the way\u2026 but better late than never . we restart the journey here with a visit to the state of assam\u2026 ]\n\u2018guwahati has changed a lot , hasn\u2019t it ? \u2019 \u2013 enquired my friend ashim as we were driving by the mighty brahmaputra for the shoot of guns & guitars . being a friend from my college days , he knows that it is more than quarter of a century since i moved out of guwahati . \u2018but this river has not changed\u2019 \u2013 i had replied spontaneously , without really thinking much . but as i looked back , i realized that perhaps the mighty river is one of the few constant factors of the guwahati i had left behind\u2026\n\u2018the people\u2026these are a different lot of people\u2019 \u2013 adil da ( actor adil hussain ) was telling me , as he was trying to analyze the materialistic mindset that seems to be grabbing the general people of assam . like me , he also left assam way back in 1990\u2026and some of the things he was mentioning seem to echo exactly things in my mind . perhaps these things appear to be even starker to us as we have the benefit of being an outsider who is also an insider to this beautiful land . time and again , we come back to our homeland expecting it to be exactly as it was in our memories \u2013 happily forgetting that only constant thing in life is the change\u2026 yet , we complain about the same change \u2013 perhaps justifying with genuine reasons at times\u2026 especially when we see the wave of covetousness grabbing the idyllic homeland that we had left behind\u2026\nthat\u2019s why we all are such great fan of nostalgia ! nostalgia stays evergreen \u2013 it has no danger of changing into something that could surprise us by catching us off guard . in other words , we never have to face nostalgia in a parallel timeline \u2013 unlike most other things of our homeland\u2026 no wonder , a visit to my college was in the card during the shoot of guns & guitars . we shoot a conversation with assam\u2019s musical superstar zubeen garg there . yes , zubeen is also an alumni of guwahati\u2019s b borooah college like me\u2026 and we spend some intense moments there talking about the time that went by\u2026 times which were not exactly \u2018nice\u2019 \u2013 in fact , scary , dark & dangerous , to be precise\u2026 where common people like us had become pawn in a game of death & destruction\u2026 where the importance of an organization was measured by the no of people it manage to kill\u2026 did i just say \u2018was\u2019 ? more the things changed , more they remains the same\u2026 in today\u2019s era of inflation , the only commodity whose price has actually gone down happens to be the human life\u2026"]}

charge of cleansing the city of extortionists . he intercepts the calls between noted extortion gangs like that of rasool , knows who they are extracting big bucks from and jumps into action at the right moment , killing the goons in no time . naras gradually becomes a menace to rasool , who plans to exterminate him . in the meanwhile , in comes chary ( ntr again ) , with the promising brahmanandam ( he plays bhattacharya ) , and tickles our funny bone , scene after scene . chary is the assistant to the priest bhattu , who keeps himself busy conducting death , marriage ceremonies and film muhurats ( one such film is chakkara takkuva , the remake version of amitabh bacchan ' s cheeni kum . ha ha . . ) , but his most important business is to cosy up to chandrakala ( nayanatara ) , with whom he is madly in love .\nthe two tracks run parallel , as nayanatara falls for chary and sheela keeps flirting naras . the director takes care of keeping our interest levels intact by introducing asish vidhyarthi , who begins a search operation for naras , the son of a retired army officer ( nasser ) . of course , naras has already been the target of rasool ' s gang . as the interval bang draws to a close , chary is mistaken for naras and is taken into captive ( just as in the recent bollywood blockbuster kaminey ) . however , in no time , asish and others catch hold of the real narasimham . why has asish been on a hunt for ntr ? how are the two brothers going to play a game with the villains , to escape from the vortex they are in ? answers to these questions are to be found in the second half .\nstory wise , adurs offers nothing new . in fact , let alone the predictability factor , there is no extra effort taken by the makers to make it oomphier - say , through punchy dialogues and inventive action . if total absence of mind - blowing lines and single liners is a low point , vintage ntr not coming alive anywhere , excpet in songs , is a disappointment to all his fans .\nthe film has a high point , but just one . it ' s the comedy , which is well executed and performed by brahmanandam and the brahmin avatar of ntr . our star comedian , brahmi , rules the roost . he is simply terrific . ntr , as his yes - man , is new and fresh , but just not flawless . basha ( ms narayana ) ' s comedy is good too . the fun factor slumps down in the second half , when mahesh manjrekar ( playing a heartless villain ) and raghu babu continue to be befuddled by comedy of confusion .\nnayana and sheela have nothing to do except shaking legs with ntr . dialogues , otherwise good in comedy scenes , are quite poor . had ntr repeated a thumping performance and shown some wise dialogue diction as the junior priest ( watch him speaking in a whole new diction and you find him inadequate ) , the film would have not been a nightmare for his fans .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nadurs review - jr . ntr , nayanathara , sheela , adurs telugu movie review , telugu movie review , telugu cinema - urltoken - andhra pradesh news and views\nwhat is it about : jr . ntr stars as narasimha , a mysterious guy who targets the mafia gangs in the city and eliminates them one by one . the mafia gangs , who are taken aback by these attacks , come together to find this mysterious guy , however they are largely unsuccessful . on the other hand , narasimha chari ( played again by jr . ntr ) , a brahmin priest is leading a happy life . his guru , bhattacharya ( brahmanandam ) is in love with chandrakala ( nayanatara ) and he requests chari to help him in this matter . neither narasimha nor chari realizes that they have a twin brother . elsewhere , another gang headed by ashish vidyarthi , is looking for narasimha . what does this gang want from narasimha ? why are they looking for narasimha ? that forms the rest of the story of this light - hearted entertainer .\nwhat is good : jr . ntr dazzles in his dual role . his role as the hot - blooded young man , narasimha is a cakewalk for him and he doesn\u2019t disappoint in this serious role . however , it\u2019s his characterization as the brahmin , narasimha chari which comes as a shocker . the voice modulation and the ease with which he slipped into the skin of this character are astounding . the series of conversations between narasimha chari and bhattacharya ( brahmanandam ) are hilarious . brahmanandam has been in great form over the past few years and this role of bhattacharya will be one among the better roles he has essayed in the recent past . the comic timing of both brahmanandam and jr . ntr is almost perfect and the director v v vinayak makes sure that the duo keeps the audience entertained throughout the film . the film also gives ample footage to some of the other supporting actors and they don\u2019t disappoint . both nayanatara and sheela ooze oomph and sizzle in their glamorous roles , however they hardly contribute to the story . raghu babu and m s narayana are good in their short roles . mahesh manjrekar\u2019s role is well written and his characterization of comic villainy fits into the story pretty well . the conversations throughout the film are well handled and executed .\nwhat is bad : after a promising first half , the film slips into a slightly serious mode in the first few minutes of second half which is a little out of place . nazar\u2019s role is loosely based from a similarly written role in \u2018krissh\u2019 . the computer graphics and visual effects in the film are disappointing and they could have been handled in a better way . both the heroines in the film have minute roles and they only appear on screen just before a song . their characterization hardly gives scope for enough footage in the film . besides this , there are too many villains in the film and not surprisingly , most of them are restricted to very few scenes except for mahesh manjrekar and ashish vidhyarthi . sayaji shinde\u2019s role almost vanishes in the second half . the script of the film is riddled with loopholes in second half and there are quite a few loose threads . we are never told how narasimha manages to escape from complex situations and there are few more things like this . some of the scenes and instances in the second half bring back memories of few recent films like ready , king etc .\ntechnical departments : kona venkat has written a complex story which has to narrate lives of two different heroes and hordes of other people who are affected by these two heroes . while kona venkat succeeds in his attempt to establish all the characters , the subplots dampen the script especially in the second half . dialogues are terrific , especially the ones written for jr . ntr and brahmanandam . chota k naidu\u2019s cinematography is top notch , especially in the action sequences . the camera angles used in the film elevate jr . ntr\u2019s heroism wherever required and all the songs are lavishly shot . choreography is good in few songs ; however jr . ntr\u2019s determination to hold his forte in dancing should be appreciated . devi sri prasad\u2019s music might not be among his best compositions . \u2018chandrakala\u2019 , \u2018where is the . . \u2019 songs have good music and funny lyrics . v . v . vinayak who handled the screenplay apart from directing the film excels in both of them . the film has ample twists and turns to keep us hooked onto the screens and the light hearted treatment to the story is handled well by vinayak .\nnakaithe rendu keka . . . . . . . . . . . rendu kallalo edi best ante cheppalem ga . . . . . . . . , . . rendu movies deniki daniki excellent . . . ! !\nmeeku kavalante pedda sorry chepta . . soooooooooooooorrryyyyyyyy . . lol adurs comedy roxx ante . .\ns . . . ante aa luck kalisi ravali emo . . . bb avvali ante . . . . . . . . . . . . but this mov has shown one more angle in tarak ' s acting . . . chari rocks . . . . . . . . .\nvellehe avatalaki . . u musugu pyan . . tarak carrier lone naaku baaga nacchina mve idi . . . family audience tarak vanka chusarante adi bd valle . . .\nadurs chari character with brahmi como toooo good . horeines plus . . . . . . . . . songs dance plus . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . dialogues plus . . . . .\nbut main charecter narasimha . . . . . . . . character antha baga ledhu . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . climax too bad . . . . . . . . . . . ee rendu baga care tisukoni unte bomma bb ayyundedhani na feeling . . . . .\nbrindavanam climax fight tappa antha baga nachindhi naku . . . . . . . . . .

kilter character study crackles with inventiveness and irreverence in equal measure , pawno is a warm - hearted and witty cinematic narrative that is totally , unapologetically melbourne .\nthe kink is scaled back and a sense of location is expanded in pawno , another australian film from an actor - director , paul ireland , whose behind\u2013the\u2013camera debut is a well - meaning patchwork of drifting drama and laid - back comedy .\nlast year the cinefestoz film prize was jolted to life by pawno , a low - budget movie that gave the audiences more pleasure than movies made within the golden circle of government funding ( the daughter , backtrack , now add honey ) .\nwhile pawno deals with dark subject matter \u2014 loneliness , despair , poverty , drug addiction and violence \u2014 ireland and hill have struck a lovely tone , allowing the laughter to echo in the shadows . \u201cwe did a screening in sydney hosted by david stratton and margaret pomeranz , who are great supporters of pawno . i was surprised at how many laughs there are in the movie . it\u2019s essentially a drama but i\u2019ve rarely been in a cinema where there is so much laughter . \u201d\npawno , an ensemble comedy - drama set in and around a footscray pawnshop , didn\u2019t cost $ 12 , 000 , a figure that had cinefestoz attendees gasping with admiration ( the number was misquoted and , typical of online reporting , constantly repeated ) .\nwhite hot also collaborates as executive producer , co - producer or investor in selected features and television series initiated by other production companies . to date , these include the dressmaker , pawno , ali\u2019s wedding , boys in the trees , and sunset six .\npawno ' s emporium in jolly roger bay has the gruntilda rag doll from grunty ' s furnace fun sitting on a shelf as well as a portrait of brentilda , and jolly ' s bar has a portrait of treasure trove cove . captain blubber also makes a cameo appearance .\n\u201cpawno is unlike many australian films in that it is a true example of cultural diversity on screen without kangaroos , beach or desert , \u201d says writer damian hill . \u201cit is australia as i see it , walking down the street , albeit with a heightened sense of story . \u201d\nseeking an outlet for his film and television interest , he began with supporting the early stages of script development on several projects and investment in selected productions . he later acquired roar digital a complete post production facility . roar digital recent work includes \u201ccloudstreet\u201d \u201csurviving georgia\u201d \u201cthe menkoff method\u201d and \u201cpawno\u201d\nwhile pawno is the first time ireland has stepped behind the camera , he hardly lacks experience . an actor with two decades of work behind him \u2014 he came to australia from scotland with the touring production of trainspotting in the mid - 1990s \u2014 ireland felt ready to call the shots .\n\u201cpawno was our first project working with roar digital and all i can say is awesome , without a glitch from start to finish . charlie was the man who handled everything from data on set to the final dcp grade and mastering . highly recommended , my next job is theirs . \u201d\naustralian films rooted in specific metropolitan settings are not uncommon , from melbourne\u2019s death in brunswick and animal kingdom to sydney dramas erskineville kings and looking for alibrandi . with most of pawno shot indoors , and outdoor scenes taking place in the same locations , ireland\u2019s film feels as though it could have been made virtually anywhere .\n\u201cmy influences are british directors such as mike leigh , ken loach and andrea arnold . their films are about the smaller things in life . the concern of the people in pawno are \u2018can i feed the kids this weekend\u2019 . so the pawnshop becomes a social - service establishment , providing money to get them by and a little comfort . \u201d\nnot all the subplots arrive at satisfactory conclusions but , scene by scene , pawno is an attractively modest , engaging work . as a sometime footscray resident , i can vouch for ireland and hill ' s uncommon geographic accuracy : many of the locations can be found within a few blocks of each other on the area ' s main shopping strip .\npawno didn\u2019t win the cinefestoz film prize ; the $ 100 , 000 went to the indigenous documentary putaparri and the rainmakers . however , paul ireland\u2019s debut feature has now nabbed the most important award of all : a theatrical release ( even the highly touted horror - thriller backtrack is sitting on the distributor\u2019s shelves and headed for video and vod ) .\nthis accuracy doesn ' t quite extend to demographics . ireland and hill have spoken about their desire to represent modern , multicultural australia , and it ' s true that pawno is a lot more diverse than the average australian feature film . but it ' s also true the cast is dominated by white people , not altogether , but far more so than the same streets in real life .\ndirected by paul ireland from a script by damian hill \u2013 who also appears in the film \u2013 pawno features a diverse and talented cast that includes veteran actors john brumpton ( romper stomper ) , kerry armstrong ( lantana ) and tony rickards ( holding the man ) , alongside rising talents maeve dermody ( griff , the invisible ) ; and mark coles smith ( last cab to darwin ) .\nmalcolm kennard as carlo and mark coles smith as pauly make a dynamic couple as street - wise friends , boisterous yet silently sad , as is daniel frederiksen as the joyfully named transsexual , paige turner . ngoc phan is a hoot as vietnamese cafe owner and not so secret girlfriend of les , while brad mcmurray is great as the hulking , angry jason who doesn ' t end up a happy pawno customer .\nthis may seem an unfair complaint , given that pawno makes no pretence of being a documentary . still , there ' s something disquieting about the gap between fact and fiction , especially when the most prominent vietnamese character ( ngoc phan ) is a sexually aggressive , broken - english spouting stereotype . my point is not to dismiss what appear to be good intentions , simply to suggest that australian cinema has a long way to go .\npawno is a day - in - a - shop feature in the vein of kevin smith\u2019s clerks and wayne wang\u2019s smoke , and worthy to sit in their company , even if some gags clunk and one of the colourful figures on show \u2013 a vietnamese restaurant owner \u2013 is cringingly stereotypical . it\u2019s a forgivable lapse in a film with so many pungently authentic characters . as a portrait of contemporary australia , it\u2019s an antidote to just about everything else out there . \u2013 nick dent\npawno , a new indie film set in footscray , is a kind of love poem ( not sentimental ) to one of melbourne\u2019s most diverse suburbs . director paul ireland and lead actor and screenwriter damian hill had a chat to beat about their \u2018ambitious and breezily watchable\u2019 feature film debut . \u201cwe did think about collingwood , \u201d says hill , who lives in footscray . \u201cbut even collingwood is too gentrified now ; it no longer has that same level of diversity for what we wanted . \u201d\npawno is a character driven ensemble film set in the diverse and multicultural suburb of footscray in melbourne , australia . it revolves around one day in the lives of twelve characters . the film is set in an ageing pawnbrokers and at the core of the story beats a romance , yet love is rarely simple . within a day , lives intersect and motives are examined . it is a multi - layered story that celebrates the rawness of humanity and challenges audiences to see the world from a different view . characters from various cultural backgrounds are reflected in the performances of some of australia ' s most dynamic actors . it is the australia that we see when walking down the street and one rarely shown and often maligned in film . pawno is a film that has garnered much hype amongst the film world in australia . a brilliant soundtrack comprising tom waits , astronomy class and vance joy amongst others is married with an original score to take the viewer into the sanctuary of les underwood and his pawn . . .\nto use this website , cookies must be enabled in your browser . to enable cookies , follow the instructions for your browser below .\nthere is a specific issue with the facebook in -

and - effect structure are generally not fertile ground for first - time film - makers . it\u2019s a tough grind : without the safety net of an overarching storyline , these kind of narratives often feel frustratingly disjointed .\nlast year the debut director josh lawson gave it a red hot go in the passable but underwhelming the little death , weaving together a handful of stories connected by the theme of sexual experimentation and a very loose sense of setting .\nset over the course of a day in the life of 14 intersecting characters , the film embraces ( and was shot entirely in ) footscray , the melbourne inner - west suburb five kilometres from the cbd . proximity to the city means it is gentrifying quickly , although ireland captures footscray at a time when it is still raw and representative of an ethnically diverse group of people .\na large portion of the film revolves around the pawn shop referenced in the title , where a knockabout aussie bloke , les ( john brumpton ) , barters with cash - hungry clientele and occasionally dishes out favours for people he likes . although business clearly isn\u2019t busy enough to support more than one staff member , danny ( damian hill , who also wrote the film\u2019s screenplay ) is his lonely right - hand man .\nthe first of several actions that spell out the impending drama in rather unsubtle ways is when danny picks up a book entitled 12 steps to finding love . in a nearby bookshop kate ( maeve dermody ) breaks her glasses ; her colleague suggests she takes them to les\u2019s shop and we know before kate walks in the door that cupid\u2019s arrow is lock and loaded .\nsimilarly we understand a request for a gun from one of les\u2019s mates ( tony rickards ) signposts a dramatic moment to occur later in the running time . other characters who drift up and down the street , or in and out of les\u2019s shop , include a trans woman named paige ( daniel frederiksen ) , two homeless men ( malcolm kennard and mark coles smith ) , and a distressed mother , jennifer ( kerry armstrong ) .\nthe cast do their best with the material but the scattered structure of the film does them no favours . armstrong might have provided welcome gravitas if her role were more fully formed . like most of the film\u2019s characters , she seems to exist primarily to serve the functions of the screenplay \u2013 which is ironic given the film is fashioned as a \u201cday in the life\u201d - style rumination on people and place .\nperhaps that is a testament to the universal elements of hill\u2019s screenplay , which fares better when it broaches everyday australianisms rather than the darker terrain it inevitably explores .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nsomething like a grand hotel for melbourne ' s western suburbs , this low - budget first feature from director paul ireland and writer - star damian hill tracks a day in the life of a motley bunch of footscray locals , many of them down on their luck , most of them drawn sooner or later to the pawn shop run by old - timer les underwood ( john brumpton ) , a laid - back legend who knows how to keep his customers in line .\nbrumpton ' s enjoyably theatrical performance sets the tone for the film , which owes as much to a tall - tale tradition that includes pulp fiction as it does to social realism . the best vignettes tend to be the comic ones , often centred on carlo and pauly ( malcolm kennard and mark coles smith ) , homeless mates who spend their time bickering in the mall . other key characters include les ' lovelorn assistant ( played by hill himself ) , a couple of clerks from a nearby bookshop ( maeve dermody and naomi rukavina ) , and a middle - class woman ( kerry armstrong ) in search of her missing son .\nthe historically grungy , fast gentrifying melbourne suburb of footscray gets the love letter it never expected to receive in this micro - budget film from neophyte director paul ireland and first - time screenwriter damian hill . made without government funding on the kind of budget that sniffs jealously at oily rags , it nevertheless generates more laughs and knowing tugs of the heartstrings than your average screen australia - backed enterprise .\na gruff pawnbroker with a heart of tarnished gold , les ( john brumpton in full larrikin mode ) , spends a day in his barkly street shop poking fun at his employee danny ( hill ) , who\u2019s obviously crushing on kate ( maeve dermody ) from the bookshop next door . they deal with various dodgy customers , from the middle - aged guy who leaves embarrassing evidence on his pawned video camera to the vicious muscleman who threatens them with violence . tragedy is always nipping at the heels of the laughs , such as when a middle - class woman ( kerry armstrong ) comes in seeking her son , missing down a rabbit hole of drugs . two junkies on the street ( mark coles smith and malcolm kennary ) provide a greek chorus - like commentary as they watch the comings and goings and pool their cash for food .\ndirector paul ireland\u2019s audacious debut celebrates the microcosm of suburban life in this disarmingly charming film starring an impressive cast of new and veteran australian actors . though filmed in the heart of footscray , this could be almost any city or town in australia , filled with the minutiae of daily life \u2013 from a mother in search of her son to a budding romance .\nmuch of the drama is contained within the four walls of the local pawnbrokers , managed by curmudgeon les ( john brumpton , romper stomper ) and lovesick danny ( damian hill , who also co - produced and penned the impressive script ) , who has eyes for bookshop worker kate ( maeve dermody , agatha christie\u2019s and then there were none ) . all walks of life pay a visit , some to buy , some to sell , and some just to chat .\nbeyond the store , a colourful bunch of locals add life to the surrounding streets \u2013 including lovable larrikins pauly ( mark coles smith who demanded everyone\u2019s attention in last cab to darwin ) and carlo ( catching milat \u2019s malcolm kennard ) . other equally brilliant cast include daniel frederiksen , john orcsik , tony rickards and kerry armstrong .\n\u201cthe observation , in hill\u2019s screenplay and ireland\u2019s direction , is acute , and the actors are first - class . add to the mix fine location photography by shelley farthing - dawe and you have a film that\u2019s not only very australian ( some may say very melbourne ) in its ethos but also extremely enjoyable . \u201d david stratton , the australian\nthe december sessions will be introduced by one of the directors of olympic nick : a donutumentary , ian tran .\nopen daily , 9am till late . galleries 10am\u20135pm . phone : ( 03 ) 8663 2200\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml + rdfa 1 . 0 / / en\nurltoken\n\u00a9 2018 copyright furst media pty ltd . all rights reserved by using this site you agree to our terms & conditions\nwith duration 89 min and has been launched in 2015 -

both in the pawnshop itself and in the streets of surrounding footscray - where everyday life goes on for better or for worse .\ncentral to the action is john brumpton ' s les underwood , the gruff tough pawnbroker who is all business and little compassion . we get the impression that he has seen it all , like the scene in which he tells his offsider damian ( hill ) to close the shop ' s front door , after which he proceeds without hesitation to violently deal with a threatening customer . but he has another side too , which is one of the film ' s little surprises . . . . this is brumpton at his best , creating a character that goes from restrained to furious . uncompassionate yet non judgmental . hill is also good , projecting an appealing naivety as the pawnbroker ' s gopher , who walks the dog , makes the tea and tows the line . but there is more to damian than meets the eye , including his romantic aspirations and another of the film ' s surprises .\nwe become involved to varying degrees with all the characters that enter the shop . there are those who come in just for a chat , like harry ( tony rickards ) , who seemingly has it all , or paige the transvestite ( daniel frederiksen ) who is all mouth when it comes to dealing with jeering strangers in the street , but highly vulnerable when no - one is looking . the subplot involving damian ' s dreamgirl kate ( maeve dermody , lovely ) , the girl from the bookshop around the corner is the best developed and i like the story strand involving lai ( ngoc phan ) from the nearby asian takeaway . it has humour and a wonderful sense of the unexpected .\nthe lengthy verbal discourse between pauly ( mark coles smith ) and carlo ( malcolm kennard ) drags , although there is a small pay off to their opportunistic involvement with heavy - chain wearing thug jason ( brad mcmurray ) . kerry armstrong appears briefly as a distressed mother looking for her son , while john orcsik is terrific as tony robinson , the man with a video camera and something to hide . naomi rukavina is appealing as the bookshop girl with bruises , but her story has to rest on suggestion alone .\nmost of the action takes place in and around the pawnshop , with an accent on the many diverse elements of the neighbourhood , like the vibrant dreadlock - wearing african dummers who beat up a storm outside a shop . most effective is hill ' s concept to reveal the characters in their ' real ' environments at the end , allowing us to peak beneath the veneer , shattering any preconceptions we may have made . it ' s a vivid insight and an interesting window into life .\nthrough the particular to the universal . . . it ' s a notion that serves filmmakers well and as\nwriter daman hill shows , it can be a useful filmmaking tool to portray a variety of the human condition . his pawn shop is where les underwood plays a duel role of self serving sinner as well as occasional saint . i don ' t mind the contradictions in his character ; they smack of real life . i also appreciate john brumpton ' s characterisation as an edgy , complex and unpredictable money lender of last resort .\nlikewise , the characters that pop in and out of the shop - mostly regulars - are given dimension and life by some talented actors , writer hill among them as les ' shop slightly troubled and shy assistant , danny . maeve darmody is terrific as kate , the shop assistant at a nearby book store who catches danny ' s eye , and naomi rukavina is a delight as her lonely heart colleague holly .\nthese and the other supporting characters all have a dark shadow that creeps up on them in some form , even worried mum jennifer , movingly played by kerry armstrong .\nthe screenplay is not so much a story as a series of snapshots of these people , although the gently budding romance between danny and kate provides a through - line of sorts - and the way to retrieve the film ' s bleak descent into darkness . yet the performances elevate the film , as does paul ireland ' s sensitive , no nonsense direction .\nwith duration 89 min and was released on 2015 -

all rights reserved\nyou need to login to do this . get known if you don ' t have an account\na seminal platformer series , created by rare for the nintendo 64 , the banjo - kazooie series ( sometimes simply referred to as the banjo series ) tells the tale of a lazy bear , his avian best friend , the nasty witch who likes messing with their lives , and lots and lots of shiny golden puzzle pieces . traversing many strange and improbable worlds , the dauntless duo of banjo the honey bear and kazooie the breegull go about saving the world , with the help of moleish mentors , cute bird - anteater . . . things , and a very liberal helping of british humour .\nbanjo the bear , his little sister tooty , and banjo ' s loudmouthed best friend kazooie live peacefully in the tranquil spiral mountain . however , the ugly , witch - shaped form of the witch gruntilda ' s lair lurks overhead . grunty sees that tooty is the fairest in the land , and grunty envies that beauty ! she kidnaps tooty and absconds to her lair . now banjo and kazooie must brave the depths of her labyrinthine lair to save banjo ' s sister .\ntwo years after grunty ' s defeat ( and subsequent imprisonment beneath a rock ) , her sisters mingella and blobbelda come with a fancy new tank to save her . grunty ' s been beneath the rock for so long , she ' s only an animate skeleton . but her witchy sisters have a new machine that can suck the life energy out of anything , and they plan to use it to restore gruntilda ! banjo and kazooie once again set out to stop her , and prevent her from turning the whole world into a zombie wasteland !\na midquel that takes place between kazooie and tooie . grunty ' s faithful sidekick klungo builds her a mecha - grunty suit , and her spirit inhabits it from beneath the rock . with her evil magic , she kidnaps kazooie , and flings banjo into the past , attempting to stop him and kazooie from ever meeting ! now banjo ( and kazooie , once he ' s rescued her ) must stop gruntilda from destroying the past !\na racing game spinoff , this game features the banjo - kazooie cast racing around in airplanes . gruntilda does appear , but poses no real threat .\nthis sequel changed the game ' s mechanics from regular platformer to vehicle - based platformer . set many years after their last adventure , banjo and kazooie have gotten fat and lazy from no adventures . then , a strange , tv - headed spirit calling itself the lord of games shows up . he intends to have banjo and kazooie resolve their old issues with gruntilda ' s skeletal head by . . . throwing them into a new video game . well , whatever works , right ?\nthe first game only requires you to get 94 of 100 jiggies and 810 out of 900 notes to beat the game , but rewards exist if you collect all of them , such as free refills on your feathers and eggs before the final fight and an upgrade to your health in exchange for four more jiggies . the last two jiggies you ' ll possess don ' t do anything , but getting all 100 allows you to see a bonus ending that reveals the locations of the stop n swap items . the honeycomb pieces that extend your health bar , meanwhile , are completely optional to find ( to where you can skip at least six of them , since the last six add nothing to your health ) , but they are a nice benefit to have , especially when you fight gruntilda . collecting all of 116 of the mumbo tokens is not only optional ( only 75 are needed ) , but impossible due to a glitch in mad monster mansion .\nbanjo - tooie has a lot more emphasis on backtracking and the size of the game ' s levels is larger , but it ' s slightly more lenient in requirements ; you only need 70 of the games 90 jiggies to reach the final boss , and collecting all 90 just gives you a meager bonus reward , and only 765 of 900 notes are needed . the honeycomb pieces and cheato pages are completely optional .\nability required to proceed : the first two games have mandatory abilities you have to learn , and you won ' t get far without them . for example , the first game forces you to learn the talon trot from the first level in order to even get beyond the lobby of gruntilda ' s lair . tooie takes this even further due to having a lot of context - sensitive moves you have to learn to even get anywhere in its massive worlds , much less get a jiggy right away .\nabnormal ammo : one of kazooie ' s signature abilities is firing eggs like bullets out of her butt , which you ' d expect ( well , sort of ) , and . . . out of her mouth . the second game adds more unusual ammo by allowing her to also shoot flame eggs , ice eggs , grenade eggs , proximity mine eggs , and eggs that immediately hatch into exploding clockwork versions of kazooie .\nabsurdly spacious sewer : clanker ' s cavern certainly seems to be a sewer of some description . it ' s full of pipes , anywho . then there ' s the clinker ' s cavern sidequest in the second game where you shoot at . . . faecal blockages in the . . . air conditioning ?\nabusive parents : mrs . boggy seems to approve of banjo beating her children , and is even seen giving groggy a smack herself . boggy himself is just extremely neglectful , abandoning his children at christmas in order to go sledding instead of buying them presents .\naffably evil : weldar , who is seen politely asking you to stand still so he can kill you better and generally doing things just because it ' s his job . his vision , like lord woo fak fak , is also pretty bad .\naliens are bastards : in tooie , you find a ufo in the bottom of a lagoon , power their ship back up for them , bring one of them back from the dead after a nasty fall , warm up one of their children stuck on a icy , high cliff , find another two alien kids encased in ice , one of which you had to bring back to life as well , and to top it all off , only for two jiggies . after all that , the alien dad states he has to exterminate you for taking so long . . . only to decide not to do so because he ' s misplaced his laser .\nalready done for you : unlocking stop ' n ' swop in the xbla version of banjo - kazooie ( only if you have a save file of nuts & bolts or the xbla version of banjo - tooie on your 360 ' s hard drive , however ) . stop ' n ' swop involved ridiculously long cheat codes to unlock it in the original release , though they were useless in that version .\nalternate history : the plot of grunty ' s revenge , which was originally supposed to take place in an alternate future from the one in banjo - tooie , though it was since changed to be set between the first two games . this would normally make it an alternate continuity , until the timey wimey ball rolls into town . . .\nalways night : mad monster mansion and freezeezy peak in banjo - kazooie and witchyworld in banjo - tooie . bubblegloop swamp has a pitch - black\nsky\n, but it ' s not clear whether it ' s supposed to be night .\nambiguously gay : jolly roger . the menu in his . . . bar does not help matters .\nambiguously human : gruntilda and humba wumba . if you get a game over in the first game , the former appears even more human .\nand i must scream : at the end of the original game , grunty is trapped underground by a boulder and somehow manages to survive being buried alive for two years . by the time she ' s freed in the opening of tooie , her flesh has rotted away completely . and by the end of the second game , she ' s reduced to just a skull and eyeballs \u2014 and , yes , she ' s still alive and conscious . ( the third game gives her a robot body , which she seemingly gets to keep , so things do improve for her . sort of . )\nanimate inanimate object : so much so in the first game . if it didn ' t outright move and talk , it would have googly eyes slapped on it . examples include : a totem pole , boulders , a leaky pail , acorns , musical notes , honeycombs , eggs , feathers , exploding mines , life preservers , oranges , trees , cauliflower , stone sphinxes , ice cubes , snowmen , cold water , cacti , cauldrons , cowl ventilators , onions , exploding boxes , flying broomsticks , treasure chests , beehive boxes , carrots , a toilet , golden jigsaw pieces , and a book of spells that flies by flapping its pages , just to name a few !\nmr . vile ' s challenge is so frustrating to complete , that the game gives you the option of coming back later after you ' ve learned how to use the turbo trainers ( which banjo ' s crocodile transformation can use ) , which makes beating him much easier .\nin rusty bucket bay , when you do the ship whistle puzzle , the background music subtly switches to a music track that ' s almost identical to the main level theme , but without whistles incorporated into the music to ensure the player doesn ' t confuse the background music with being part of the puzzle .\nbanjo - kazooie always places banjo right at the opening part of gruntilda ' s lair after the tutorial , despite the fact that it would make more sense to start banjo at his own house . this is to eliminate time spent traversing spiral mountain . in addition , there are dingpots scattered about the lair in areas that allow for fast travel .\nunlike the first game , any notes you collect in worlds are yours permanently , even after you leave and come back . this is a good thing , because not a single one of tooie ' s worlds can be completed on the first visit ; they all require you to return later after you ' ve learned a new ability . collecting them is also greatly simplified into having you grab nests of them ( 5 apiece , rather than making you collect each individual note like in the first game ) , along with a treble clef that gives you 20 on the spot .\nthe collecting requirements are slimmed down from the original to alleviate the games much longer length\u2014you only need 70 of the 90 jiggies ( as opposed to 94 of 100 ) to finish the game , and the mumbo tokens are removed and simplified into the much easier to find glowbos .\njinjos , like the musical notes , are also permanently yours once you find them .\nthis game ' s worlds are orders of magnitude larger than the first game ' s , so they added warp pads to let you warp between different important locations within each world . the same applies to the warp silos in the hub level isle o hags , since its a massive world unto itself that you will be traveling back and forth around ."]}

emerged across the country : many hundreds of boys , often as young as 11 , are being lured off the streets on the promise of a new life , many unaware that their real fate is to be used for entertainment and sex . with remarkable access inside a sexual exploitation ring operating in afghanistan , an afghan journalist investigates this illegal practice , talking with the boys and their masters , and documenting how the afghan authorities responsible for stopping these crimes are sometimes themselves complicit in the practice .\nunfortunately it is the on the increase in almost every region of afghanistan . i asked local authorities to act to stop this practice but they don ' t do anything ,\nhe says .\nwhen the afghanistan independent human rights commission ' s report was released last year , it found the practice was still just as widespread as it had always been .\nin any other country , it would be considered paedophilia . in afghanistan , however , the perpetrators have been protected by the police , scared to upset the powerful warlords and businessmen .\nthen the boys are passed between the men , taken to hotel rooms where they can be sexually abused .\ni started dancing at wedding parties when i was 10 , when my father died ,\nsays omid .\nlance corporal geoffrey buckley jr told his father he was forced to listen to the screams of young boys being raped at night .\nthe men behind the practice are often wealthy and powerful . some of them keep several bachas ( boys ) and use them as status symbols -

month - old boy near . . .\nbut there is hope : the report has struck a chord at the highest levels . the ministries of justice and religion have both sat up and listened .\nthese promises more often than not come to nothing : instead , the boys are trained as dancers , made to perform to groups of men dressed as girls , bells on their flowing skirts and make up on the faces .\nthis is an ancient tradition . people call it bachabaze which literally means\nplaying with boys\n.\nhe says he has never slept with his boys , though he admits he hugs and kisses them .\nthe fact homosexuality is forbidden in islam is swept under the carpet by those who participate , who claim there is a loophole . they are not in love with the boys , and therefore not gay .\nthe practice of taking young boys to perform as dancers at private parties is known as bacha bazi ( literally ,\nboy for play\n) and is an afghan tradition with very deep roots . under taliban rule , it was banned , but it has crept back and is now widespread , flourishing also in the cities , including the capital , kabul , and a common feature of weddings , especially in the north . the bacha dancers are often abused children whose families have rejected them . their\nowners\nor\nmasters\ncan be single or married men , who keep them in a form of sexual slavery , as concubines . the bachas are usually released at the age of 19 , when they can get married and reclaim their status as\nmale\n, though the stigma of having lived as a bacha is hard to overcome . the afghan authorities and human rights groups are aware of the plight of bacha boys , but seem powerless to stop it .\n' once i grow up , i will be an owner and i will have my own boys . '\n' some of these boys were 18 or 19 . if they want to marry , nobody can know . no family wants to give their daughter to these people . '\nand women unallowed to partake in such activity . however , in baghlan , the former warlords and mujahideen commanders are resurrecting bacha bazi , and holding dance competitions between the boys .\nthe justice system is weak , poverty is widespread , and there are thousands of children on the streets trying to make a living .\nbut behind the devout exterior , the country is hiding a dark secret - one which the government has tried to sweep under the rug .\nalmost everyone ' s attention is focused on a 15 - year - old boy . he ' s dancing for the crowd in a long and shiny woman ' s dress , his face covered by a red scarf .\nin reality , it is often little more than sex slavery , where boys as young as 10 are passed around a group of middle aged men for their own sexual gratification .\nwe have a circle of close friends who also have bachas . sometimes we gather together and put women ' s clothes and dancing bells on our bachas and they dance for us for two - to - three hours . that ' s all .\npeter sagan is a triple world champion and the most charismatic rider in professional road cycling . he is now the leader of the 2018 tour de france , writes rob arnold .\ndesperation : often these boys are from impoverished families , and are tempted away by promises of work and education -

it is very sensitive , very underground , ' said dr sobhrang .\nwe ' ve ranked the top 50 wimbledon players over the last 50 years .\nhe night ' s rituals unfolded slowly . in a small house in a village near the town of taluqan in northern\nthe powerful men he refers to are often former warlords who helped drive the taliban out of the north . others are wealthy businessmen . under the taliban , bacha bazi was outlawed . today it is still a crime , but clearly there is no concerted effort being made to stop the practice and the criminal activity that surrounds it .\nwe have to do that , \u201d explains daad . \u201cwe spend money on these boys , so they have to dance . \u201d\nhe takes me to the street in front of his office to show me just how difficult it is to protect children here .\nthere have been very few attempts by the authorities to clamp down on the bachabaze tradition .\nafghan journalist najibullah quraishi has filmed police attending a party where a young boy is the\nentertainment\n. the police shown on the video include one officer from the youth crime squad .\ndressed in a flowing shirt and long , red skirt , with sherwal pants beneath and small silver bells fastened to hands and feet , the dancer stepped across the floor , face hidden behind a red scarf . the bells chimed with the movement , the skirt brushing past the watching men who stretched out their hands to touch it . the sitar player sang loudly , a love song about betrayal . the dancer twisted and sang hoarsely with him , arms thrown high above a lean , muscular body , moving faster and faster until finally the scarf dropped , revealing a handsome young man ' s face with traces of a moustache and beard . one of the men quickly grabbed the scarf and started sniffing it .\nboasting : it is highly prestigious in some circles to have your own boy . having one or many bacha bereesh is seen as a marker of your power and wealth - which means some war lords can have more than 10 in their service . how pretty the boys are is also important\n\u201ci was dancing last night , \u201d one exhausted - looking 14 year - old boy said , when his owner forced him to speak . \u201ci have been doing this for the past year . i have no choice - i\u2019m poor . my father is dead , and this is the only source of income for me and my family . i try to dance well , especially at huge parties . the men throw money at me , and then i gather it up . sometimes they take me to the market and buy me nice clothes . \u201d\nwhy did he think other young boys dressed as women and danced ?\nbecause men like women and they are not available , so we act like women . we wink at the rich men in the room , we excite them and they pay us . two weeks ago , in a town north of kabul , the elder paid me 4 , 000 afghanis [ around \u00a349 ] . but after the programme i had to shout so he would be embarrassed in front of other people , because he wanted to do things with me . sometimes we get a lot of money . sometimes we have to spend the night with them and they don ' t give us anything .\nafter the fall of the taliban , habib came back and settled in a small hotel near kabul .\npeople accuse us of being homosexuals and transsexuals , but we are not ,\nhe said firmly .\nwe are not trying to be women , we are just dancers . some men like my dancing and give me tips , but other men like to do other things with me . i have to be careful \u2013 they can be dangerous . i know how to manoeuvre to take their money and not let them harm me .\ncould you bring yourself to support england ? are the french or belgians more your cup of tea ? we want to know who your pick is to take out the 2018 world cup title .\nas more vodka was drunk , the party grew louder . its host \u2013 a former taliban commander now in alliance with the afghan government and americans \u2013 chatted jovially to his guests , mainly local farmers and shopkeepers . then one of the men produced a sitar and a dancer entered the room .\nindeed , the government has failed to do much about the practice of bacha bazi , and police force do little to encourage public confidence . local officials do admit the practice is prevalent but seem at a loss as to how to combat it .\naccepted : on this occasion , the men are performing to a group of policemen in uruzgan province . until recently , there was no law which directly prohibited bacha bazi - but after dr sobhrang released the report , the government decided to finally act\n' now he is 20 years old , he can also take other boys for this process . and so it goes from one generation to another generation .

frightened people begins similarly ( though in modern time ) on a series of untouched vistas , which transition to yet another ship\u2014this one in the throes of a plague epidemic . we cut to a small life boat on which ( you guessed it ) four passengers attempt to flee disease for the safety of a nearby malayan island . the four , judy ( claudette colbert ) , arnold ( herbert marshall ) , mrs . mardick ( mary boland ) and stewart ( william gargan ) enter the natural world as caricatures each representing the superficial extremes of human behavior ( i . e . meek , masculine , stubborn , etc . ) . they seek out nature as refuge from the frailties of the human body ( the plague ) . this view of nature sharply contrasts that of reap the wild wind . here the characters seek comfort in the wild rather than run from it in a salvage ship .\n, author charles higham wrote that\njohn wayne was extremely ill - at - ease about acting in a demille picture ; he did not relish being shouted at on the set . he had applied for the role of wild bill hickok in\nthe giant rubber squid used in the underwater battle was donated by the studio to the war effort in 1942 . the japanese had conquered malaya and indochina , source of most of the world ' s rubber .\nroughly two thirds into reap the wild wind the drama shifts in a metaphorical sense from the body to the mind as demille transitions from the perils of the sea to the court of law . it is here that jack , removed from his usual surroundings , begins to lose ground in his battle for loxi ' s affections . jack has found himself accused of intentionally running his ship aground , and through some manipulation of narrative convolution , also of the unintentional murder of loxi ' s cousin , drusilla ( who was stowed away in the ship ' s hull during the wreck ) . as a result , both jack and steve are forced to dive to the bottom of the ocean to retrieve proof of drusilla ' s death , and it is when the camera becomes submerged that the control over the fates of these two men is returned to nature . while exploring the wreckage the pair are attacked by a giant squid . the moment is meant to be tense , but it is hard to ascribe any sense of malice to the squid . it is merely seizing an opportunity without any prior knowledge of jack and steve as they exist on the surface world . it is the squid that alludes back to nature ' s lack of sympathy towards humanity . the fact that it is steve and not jack who survives the attack comes across as entirely arbitrary . steve ' s triumph could be seen as an easy parallel for the triumph of a new , more civilized way of living , yet in this context it is a triumph by way of compromise ( the sacrifice of jack ) . civilization lives alongside nature as a series of concessions .\nin 1940 , the motley crew of the british tramp steamer ss glencairn prepares the ship for its perilous voyage from the west indies to baltimore and then to england .\nthe movie is unusual in that it shows john wayne playing a less than scrupulously honest character . it is also one of only eleven movies in which wayne ' s character dies . paulette goddard got her part after narrowly missing

holden foils the political and personal ambitions of renegade martin garth in the ohio valley following the french and indian war .\nfiles in the paramount collection at the ampas library provide the following additional information about the film : expenses on this film rose far over the original budget , and concerned production executives urged all department heads\nto make cuts wherever possible .\nparticularly difficult and expensive to shoot was the scene with the giant octopus . information in the files and an article in\nthe third film following this theme , the earlier this day and age is where the divergence seen in four frightened people begins to clarify itself . notable is that this film is set solely in an urban environment with no literal interaction with the natural world . the story is a crime drama in which a gang of high school students enact vigilante justice against gangster louis garrett ( charles bickford ) for the murder of a fellow student by holding a kangaroo court in an abandoned brickyard . this act is born out of necessity due to the failure of the traditional court system to convict . the students operate outside of the principles of societal law and as such serve as an analog for the laws of the nature . furthermore , they are attempting to enact justice based on simple principles of right and wrong , and thus they are without question an entity guided by a moral center . this day and age isdemille ' s full subversion of the naturalism found later in reap the wild wind , but it is not a subversion through negation . rather , this day and age imbues nature with a sense of duality in which both versions can coexist on the same cinematic landscape . humanity is then contextualized in this landscape as the other half of a binary , never in harmonic symbiosis ; as exemplified in the final scene of this day and age in which two teenagers , after being celebrated for their heroics , are approached by a police officer about a car they stole in order to bring garrett to justice .\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out the latest videos and trailers , and see which spy movies topped the box office

visual text in which demille succeeds in reconciling his binary . with his use of dissolves in these films the director places us , if only for a moment , between two planes of existence , and it is here that the paradox rectifies itself by allowing the images to be accepted astride the natural and the human , divorced of ideology .\nthe movie was enthusiastically received both by the critics and

the ocean depths . unfortunately , the color of silk changes in sea water so demille ' s production team , headed by cinematographer victor milner , had to use fresh silk every day , then dry it out , and have it dyed back to its original shade for reuse . needless to say , the sequence took a month to photograph but due to such painstaking detail , milner ' s cinematography received an oscar

however the first films about the sinking came out with a space of a few months of the sinking . the first being the lost 1912 film saved from the titanic , which premiered 29 days after the sinking . the second film to deal with the tragedy was the german film in nacht und ice ( in night and ice ) which premiered in august of 1912 . as in poor taste both of these films may seem , another unsettling film about the sinking was made at the height\u2026\ngorgeous period dress : like the subsequent titanic films that followed it , the 1943 version showcases the first class female passengers wearing various glamorous gowns , fur coats and stoles , elaborate hats and headdresses , while the male passengers strut around in expensive tailored tuxedos and leisure suits .\nmy highest praise to kino video for making this important historical film available in a proper dvd release with english subtitles . it\u2019s a must for both the film and titanic buffs out there who think that they\u2019ve seen it all .\ntitanic directed by herbert selpinwerner klingler ( uncredited ) screenplay by walter . . .\nthis film is nothing but a nazi propaganda freak show . blatant and awful .\nhonestly , after i watched this film , i felt like taking a shower .\nfilm ( though paramount was brought in to make it a joint venture ) .\nthe next major titanic - related film would appear after the slaughter of the first world war and during the roaring twenties . entitled atlantic , the british - made film was adapted from an on - stage play by ernest raymond called the berg .\nclifton webb and harper carter face their fate in 20th century fox ' s titanic .\nthe rms titanic is : one of the major historical events of the 20th century .\na celtic - inspired gem still aboard the titanic after more than a century underwater .\npremier exhibitions update : u . k . \u2019s national maritime museum bids for titanic artifacts\nanother film named atlantis was released in 1913 . in actuality , it was based , not on the titanic disaster , but on a german book of the same name that was written in 1912 , a month before the titanic sank . but the sequence of events was so eerily similar , that a myth arose that it was the titanic that provided the inspiration ( and norwegian authorities banned the film for that reason ) .\n. indeed , titanic and a night to remember are the two \u201cmust - see\u201d films in titanic filmography , especially for anyone being introduced to the subject for the first time .\nside by side frame comparison of the engine room flooding miniature sequence shows that several effects cuts from the 1943 german version of the tragedy were in fact reused for the 1958 british version , usually flopped in the optical printer .\nthat provided the inspiration ( and norwegian authorities banned the film for that reason ) .\njohn merivale ( centre ) in the film a night to remember ( 1958 ) .\nnot only is titanic ii easily the worse titanic film ever made , it is near the forefront of the running for the worst film ever made . it is in no was a sequel to the james cameron film , although the producers may have been hoping that a few people would have been confused enough to think so and buy a ticket , or more likely rent the dvd , since i doubt this ever got a theatrical release .\ndated history : in addition to all the deliberate errors made for propaganda , this film shows the titanic going down in one piece . this was the commonly accepted version of events until the discovery of the wreck in the eighties proved that the titanic broke in half .\nthe rms titanic has been portrayed on film several times and in different ways over the course of the last 100 years . here\u2019s a summary and review of the more significant ones that have helped to keep titanic , her passengers and crew , and their legacies alive .\nkenneth more as the heroic second officer of the rms titanic in a night to remember .\none of four matte shots in titanic , with this being a painted ceiling set extension .\nduring the first night gala dinner aboard the titanic , ismay stops the ship ' s orchestra to proudly announce that titanic is\nthe safest ship ever built .\nhilarity ensues .\ntitanic . ' nearer my god to thee ' . original epic finale . ( 1953 )\nin fact there have been numerous films featuring the tragedy of the titanic . within a month of its subject ' s demise ' saved from the titanic ' was released in the usa . a british ' talking movie ' came out in 1929 ' atlantic ' but didn ' t use the name of the ship for legal reasons and in 1943 goebbels produced a film in which tragedy comes after a heroic german officer is ignored . in the fifties , both the uk and us released films with the latter being regarded as the most accurate . 1997 ' s blockbuster ' titanic ' was at the time the most expensive film ever made if not , arguably , the best .\nin april 1943 , the film was banned by the berlin censors for german release because of its terrifying scenes of panic , all too familiar to german civilians undergoing nightly allied bombing raids . after extensive cutting , titanic was released in occupied paris and a few army installations . the film was seen in germany finally in late 1949 , but banned a few months later in the western sectors ( though not in the soviet zone , because of its unmistakable anti - british - capitalist theme ) .\nnext major appearance on the big screen occurred in 1943 during world war ii in germany , and this was the first film to be named \u201ctitanic\u201d . ironically for a british ship , it was used as a vehicle for anti - british propaganda by the third reich , and was the idea of propaganda minister joseph goebbels himself , who also saw it as a lavish escape for german audiences during the war .\nnearly 40 years after a night to remember sparked the modern era of titanic interest and enthusiasm , director james cameron created a film that would rival \u2013 if not entirely eclipse \u2013 the efforts of walter lord and william macquitty , and this would be the second 20 th century fox titanic film ( though paramount was brought in to make it a joint venture ) .\nernst fritz f\u00fcrbringer as the evil bruce ismay in the so -

occupied countries . seventy years ago this month , the 85 - minute film had its european premiere \u2013 not in berlin , but prague . during 1944 , \u201ctitanic\u201d was screened throughout europe , and it played well .\nthe epilogue makes clear that there is no justice for the death caused by the speculating englishman and his american nemesis . the sympathetic characters display more \u201cgerman\u201d virtues that must have seemed useful to the nazis in 1943 : honor , duty , obedience .\nsince then , the real life disaster has served as a backdrop for romance , a basis for nazi propaganda and cold war drama , and springboard for science fiction . when james cameron\u2019s 1997 film became not only the most expensive , but also the highest - grossing film up to that time , it seemed , despite its heavy fictionalizing , to be the definitive titanic film . yet film after film continues to be released . a new tv series has just been released leading up to the centenary , and there is nothing to indicate that there will not be more films in the future . below is not a comprehensive list of every titanic - related film , but just the major works i have been able to catch in the weeks leading up to the centenary .\nhi . i wonder what movie were at least historically accurate about titanic , aside from 1958 version .\nthis version of the titanic \u2019s tale is of american creation and features a marriage on the rocks .\nthanks so much for giving us this wonderfully in - depth overview of the titanic saga as portrayed on film . i have only seen three of the versions you\u2019ve mentioned : titanic ( 1953 ) , a night to remember ( 1958 ) , and titanic ( 1997 ) . of the three , i would agree with the general consensus that a night to remember was by far the best . however , clifton webb and barbara stanwyck are such actors , i did enjoy the admittedly inaccurate titanic from \u201953 .\nthe film was the first german talkie . vincendeau , \u201chollywood babel , \u201d 209 , 211 ;\nthough third reich propaganda films \u201ctriumph of the will\u201d and \u201cjew suss\u201d are better known , the nazi \u201ctitanic\u201d was more expensive and scandal - plagued than any film in german history to the extent that propaganda minister joseph goebbels eventually banned the film before its maiden voyage in germany 70 years ago this month .\ntil that joseph goebbels commissioned a nazi propaganda version of\ntitanic .\nit was shown once , after which goebbels banned the film across all of nazi germany , as the film had themes from concentration camps and also had large amounts of violence , which goebbels feared would be ill - received .\nhistorical villain upgrade : bruce ismay , portrayed in this film as responsible for the disaster , when in reality it was captain smith who decided to ignore ice warnings . this is a trope that this film shares in common with the james cameron film and many other films based on the sinking .\nfor the other 99 % who covered it in history class , the 1943 german film titanic covers all the plot points you\u2019d expect . and if you\u2019ve seen james cameron\u2019s 1997 blockbuster , it\u2019s impossible not to compare the two . between the almost - identical sets and a number of repeated moments ( e . g . identifying the wealthiest passengers as they enter the room , using an emergency axe to free trapped 3rd class travelers ) , the similarities are striking . \u2026\njames cameron ' s titanic appeared in 1997 as the most expensive film ever made . werner klingler and herbert selpin ' s titanic appeared in 1943 as the most expensive german film ever made . and the two share even more than their budgets ' record - breaking status , their famously\nunsinkable\nsubject , and their title in common : both endured troubled productions , both feature a late scene where their male hero convinces his lover to just get on a lifeboat already , and both set out to make strong statements indeed . the later , american titanic has much to say about the cinematic triumph of late - 20th - century visual effects , whereas the earlier , german titanic takes a more negative tack , mounting an indictment of the supposedly savage avarice and thorough corruption of that country ' s bitter wartime enemy , great britain . in its ill - fated titular ship , the huge - scale propaganda film found what must have seemed like the perfectly opulent illustration of its argument .\nthe premiere was supposed to be in early 1943 , but the theatre that housed the answer print was bombed the night before the big event . the film went on to have a lacklustre premiere in paris around christmas of that same year , but in the end , goebbels banned it altogether , stating that the german people , at that point going through almost nightly allied bombing raids , were less than enthusiastic about seeing a film that portrayed mass death and panic .\nthe premiere was supposed to be in early 1943 , but the theatre that housed the answer print was bombed the night before the big event . the film went on to have a lackluster premiere in paris around christmas of that same year , but in the end , goebbels banned it altogether , stating that the german people , at that point going through almost nightly allied bombing raids , were less than enthusiastic about seeing a film that portrayed mass death and panic .\nkate winslet dangles of the back of the titanic while leonardo dicaprio convinces her to come back on board .\nminiature titanic interiors are flooded and then rear screen projected by rank ' s resident process expert charles staffel .\ntranslation convention : in full effect . watching the story of the titanic in german is a little disconcerting .\n> > the producers of this film must have been high on german crack or something . < <\nanother film that causes some consternation within the titanic community is the 1996 cbs miniseries titanic . at four hours long ( and broken into two 2 - hour parts shown over two nights ) , the series stars peter gallagher , catherine zeta - jones , tim curry , and george c . scott as captain smith . the film focused on the intimate relationships between mostly fictional passengers , and followed along three main plot lines .\nthe 1929 film explored every known detail of titanic , and in fact , was originally supposed to titled as such , but was renamed after threats of lawsuits and strongly worded condemnations from titanic\u2019s owner , the white star line , who was still operating titanic\u2019s identical older sister - ship , olympic ( and who in 1873 , suffered the loss of one of its first vessels \u2013 named atlantic . ) they wanted the memory of titanic to fade away , and so did many of the survivors , and the final scene showing the ship sliding beneath the waves was cut out of respect for them . nevertheless , it proved to be popular , and is also notable for being the first titanic - inspired film to incorporate the relatively new technology of sound .\nd . w . griffith\u2019s the birth of a nation , a hugely successful and original telling of the story of the civil war and reconstruction , was released in february 1915 when the war in europe was only six months old and still retained some novelty value . it made the fortunes of griffith , its producer and director and the film\u2019s various distributors . in 1917 griffith made intolerance , an equally original cinematic blockbuster but a commercial disaster because the film\u2019s message of the horrors of war were not what the public wanted to hear in the year that the usa joined the war in europe . sometimes , a film\u2019s failure can be just as useful to a historian as a film\u2019s success . a bad film can sometimes tell the historian more than a good film . this course is about film and history , not film aesthetics .\nold flame : petersen runs into his russian socialite ex -

catherine zeta - jones , george c . scott , peter gallagher ) napisy pl\nsinking feelings : representing and resisting the titanic disaster in britain , 1914\u2013ca . 1960 | journal of british studies | cambridge core\narguably still the best movie depiction of the titanic disaster to date with miniature work done at pinewood supervised by bill warrington .\na night to remember placed great emphasis on authenticity . the sets were rendered from blueprints of the original ship , and various insiders were consulted during the production , including an officer of the titanic and a commodore of the cunard line . the filmmakers used ingenuity to compensate for a relatively small budget . employment of a 35 - foot ( 10 - metre ) model replica of the ship with footage intercut from a 1943 german propaganda film aided in making the movie a stunning and emotionally riveting experience . it concentrates on the human drama as opposed to the spectacle .\nthe film ends with madeleine astor telling a woman aboard the carpathia who has told her to keep her faith that \u201cthere is no god , he went down with the titanic\u201d and the credits are shown as passenger lists of \u201cperished\u201d and \u201csurvived\u201d characters .\nof course , there are detractors who criticize the film for its acting , unrealistic plot , and its feature song my heart will go on by celine dion . some people seem to not like it just because it became so popular and successful , with 11 academy awards and becoming the highest - grossing film at the time . within the titanic community , there are those who cringe at the jack - and - rose story and are somewhat annoyed by people who still believe that they are real characters and that the titanic revolved around them . for them , a night to remember will always be the definitive titanic movie .\nwhat exactly happened to the titanic necklace movie prop worn by kate winslet ? no one has ever publicly commented on its whereabouts .\nebay : ebay is a good place to look for j . peterman heart of the ocean replicas and other vintage titanic necklaces .\na hundred years ago , the world was awash in songs , poems and paintings about the titanic . and then came movies .\nas you know : the film opens with ismay addressing the board of the white star line and explaining a lot of things about the cost overruns of titanic construction and white star line stock price , all things that the board would already have known .\nafter the war , in 1953 \u2013 41 years after the sinking \u2013 hollywood released its first feature - film about the ill - fated liner in the form of 20 th century fox\u2019s titanic , starring clifton webb , barbara stanwyck , and robert wagner .\ntitanic was re - discovered in 1949 , but was quickly banned in most western countries . shortly after the war , the film , dubbed in russian , was screened across the eastern bloc as a \u201ctrophy film . \u201d after the 1950s , titanic went back into obscurity , sometimes showing on german television . in 1992 , a censored , low quality vhs copy , was released in germany . this version deleted the strongest propaganda scenes , which immensely watered down its controversial content . finally , in 2005 , titanic was completely restored and , for the first time , the uncensored version was released in a special edition dvd by kino video .\ndespite its popularity , the last known prints of the film were lost in a fire in 1914 , and its passing is considered one of the most significant loses of the silent film era . only a few stills and a poster survive today .\nthis now lost ten - minute silent film premiered on may 14 , 1912 , just 29 days after the sinking . the \u00e9clair film company knew that one of their top stars , dorothy gibson , was on the rms titanic , as they had just recalled her from a european vacation in order to work on a new production in new york . gibson had a hand in the late - night bridge game on sunday evening in the first - class lounge which is so often shown in film adaptations .\nthere are also some very impressive ( for the time ) special effects , many of which were used in what is still the best titanic film , 1958\u2019s \u201ca night to remember , \u201d along with some of the most moving sequences to appear in any film about the tragedy ( my favorite is the moment when wireless operator phillips releases his pet canary into the night sky ) .\nmost jarring anachronism : this is most certainly the most thoroughly researched and executed titanic film ever made , and one really has to look into minor details to find errors , such as rose smoking filter cigarettes , which did not become coming till the 1940s .\nbetween the film\u2019s conception and shooting , the tides of war had turned , with the nazis tasting defeat for the first time . germans had little to eat and suffered bombing raids , but \u201ctitanic\u201d producers created nine luxury interior sets in berlin for the shoot .\ntitanic sailed out of southampton , not liverpool as stated in the film . in fact , one of the reasons white star line chose southampton as their main terminal was due to the fact that their newest ships were too big for liverpool ' s harbor .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nthe famous hope diamond and the blue diamond in the 1943 titanic film inspired cameron ' s heart of the ocean necklace . the necklace follows a similar storyline to the hope diamond . both jewels were once possessions of the french king louis xvi . louis xvi wore the hope diamond as a necklace . in the movie , the heart of the ocean was a rare blue diamond that was once worn in louis xvi ' s crown . the diamond goes missing after louis xvi ' s execution . it is later recovered cut into a heart shape and becomes known as the heart of the ocean .\nso as hitler opened his air assault against britain in july of 1940 , \u201ctitanic\u201d producers set out to smear the brits on celluloid .\nborrowed by james cameron : since this is the first titanic film with sound , it is also the first with the ship\u2019s band playing \u201cnearer , my god to thee\u201d as she went down . although the band did indeed play on deck to calm the passengers , the selection of this song is widely regarded to be a legend . the myth had been born before the release of this film . but this film which certainly helped the myth along , as not only the band but every last passenger and crew member on board joins in on the song . most adaptations have followed suit in including the song , and cameron\u2019s film is no exception . since this is the first film to use the song , it could be said that cameron borrowed it from here .\none of the most expensive films ever made ( in 1943 ) , it was produced by joesph goebbels , the nazi reich minister for enlightenment and propaganda . with a budget of 4 million reichmarks ( 100 million pounds ) it was going to outshine any hollywood blockbuster . goebbels came up with the idea whilst the battle of britian raged .\nin addition , with the korean war raging on , the specter of boys and men losing their lives on titanic was particularly poignant . the film proved popular and successful , and won an academy award for writing original screenplay ( now known as best original screenplay .\n( 1943 ) , a german re - imagining of the british maritime disaster that was actually produced by the nazi party . in fact , nazi propaganda minister joseph goebbels grew so disgruntled with original director herbert selpin ' s political opinions , he had him arrested and murdered during filming ! although it was intended as one of the crown jewels of german cinema , this altogether twisted film came to stand as a metaphor for the crumbling of hitler ' s brutal regime .\nthe character franz gruber is very loosely based on wallace hartley , who was also the main violinist of the titanic band . also the character has a similar look as hartley . however while gruber survived the tragedy , hartley died on the titanic in the age of 34 .\ncountry : germany release date : 10 november 1943 director : herbert selpin cast : sybille schmitz , hans nielsen and kirsten heiberg plot : building the titanic has been a huge financial effort , and white star line president ismay wants her maiden voyage to hit the headlines . he urges captain smith to make the fastest possible crossing to new york . when iceberg warnings come in , the captain must ask himself if he is willing to risk the safety of his ship just to please ismay . trivia : director herbert selpin was arrested by the gestapo during this film ' s production and later died in his cell .\nwhen doing research for rainer werner fassbinder ' s veronika voss , i stumbled upon the life story of doomed ufa actress sybille schmitz , and the seemingly bizarre fact that joseph goebbels commissioned a propaganda film revolving around the sinking of the titanic . nazi germany ' s titanic marks the sixth film made about the disaster , and i believe it ' s the only one to go the extra mile and feature a heroic german first officer ( hans nielsen ) , as well as an equally heroic ex - russian countess ( schmitz ) . oh , yeah , i think this might also be the first film where the producer had the director murdered during production . maybe ?\nrobert keser is senior lecturer in cinema studies at the red sea institute of cinematic arts in aqaba , jordan . he has written for the pesaro film festival ( italy ) , the jeonju film festival ( south korea ) , the las palmas international film festival ( spain ) , and the melbourne cin\u00e9math\u00e8que ( australia ) . he wrote thirty - two entries in defining moments in movies , edited by chris fujiwara , and more of his film writing can be found at senses of cinema , slant , and other publications .\nhowever , the film received bad reviews from critics and became a box office bomb , having earned only $ 7 milion . lord lew grade , who provided financing for the film , later quipped that it would have been cheaper to lower the atlantic . in the end , it offended cussler ( to the point that only recently has he given consent to a novel of his being adapted for the big screen ) , his fans , and it also caught the cold drift from some titanic enthusiasts because it really wasn\u2019t even about titanic .\nexcellent overview of these films . i watched a number of titanic films ( and tv series ) for my blog back in april : i agree with your thoughts on most of these , though i personally enjoyed the 1953 titanic as a film even though it doesn\u2019t pay much attention to the historical aspect . i even get a little guilty pleasure out of the 1996 miniseries despite its many , many problems .\na night to remember was instantly recognized as the definitive titanic film , and many still regard it as such . not surprisingly , it would be over two decades before another titanic film was attempted . but the unsinkable molly brown isn\u2019t really a titanic film . the ship doesn\u2019t appear until the last 8 minutes of the two hour plus running time . and we miss most of brown\u2019s heroic behavior\u2014helping other women board lifeboats , keeping them calm in her own lifeboat , and encouraging the lifeboat to go back to pick up people from the water ( whether they did so or not is still unclear ) . this is not even a very good biopic of margaret brown , as it is so highly fictionalized , dropping her efforts for the women\u2019s suffrage movement , and serving more as a vehicle for debbie reynods\u2019 singing .\nmost jarring anachronism : first class passengers dance to hot jazz music , which didn\u2019t exist until a good 15 years after the titanic sank .\na scene from the nazi \u2018titanic , \u2019 which cost the equivalent of $ 180 million to produce . ( photo credit : public domain )\ntwo years after selpin\u2019s untimely demise , his stand - in for the titanic \u2013 the navy\u2019s cap arcona \u2013 met a similarly brutal fate .\nthe titanic has been the topic for an assortment of books over the years , some of which can be found in the ccga library .\nthere was no first officer petersen ; inserting a german officer who vainly tries to save the greedy british from their destruction is one of the cruder propaganda elements in film . the first officer of the titanic was named william murdoch , and he went down with the ship .\nbehind the scenes : the film was long thought lost , until all of the hype over james cameron\u2019s adaptation led to renewed interest in the film , and a german collector found a complete copy in a closet . but apparently the bfi had a partial copy in its archives for decades , so it had never really been \u201clost . \u201d in any case , the entire film is available on youtube .\nunlike the fox film , the pinewood production doesn ' t muck around with subplot and extraneous padding and gets straight to the point , and stays there . here is an almost identical model - process shot to the 1953 film where the iceberg shatters across the deck .\nthe movie is worth seeing for madeleine astor ' s hat alone , to say nothing of the tamest striptease ever put on film .\nbased on walter lord\u2019s meticulously researched book , the producers of this film did even further research , interviewing other survivors lord wasn\u2019t able to locate , and introducing some performers to the actual survivors they were portraying or bringing in their children as advisers . many minor details , such as a first class passenger who goes back to her cabin to get her lucky wind - up pig but leaves behind her jewelry , are taken directly lord\u2019s interviews . this attention to detail made it the definitive titanic film at the time , and many still consider it as such . it would be another 21 years before another full titanic film was made , not counting the musical biopic the unsinkable molly brown .\nof course , this is not really a film about the titanic , but about the titanic ii , a vanity project of a billionaire playboy who decides build an exact duplicate of the doomed titanic , but with state - of - the - art technology hidden behind the vintage exterior . the point to this is to prove that they can overcome the mistakes of past by recreating the maiden voyage of the first titanic without a hitch , thanks to modern technology such as \u201cice detectors that can pick up an ice cube 500 feet away . \u201d although supposedly creating a voyage that started at southampton , england , the titanic ii passes by the statue of liberty just after its launch . it is headed for disaster , though , because global warming is causing huge chucks of the arctic shelf to drop off , creating tidal waves carrying icebergs at a speed of 800 miles an hour . that\u2019s faster than the speed of sound , so you know the titanic ii is destined to repeat history .\nthis film is also notable for being the first film to feature titanic\u2019s designer thomas andrews , who was aboard for the maiden voyage and gave captain smith the diagnosis of his ship\u2019s fate \u2013 describing it as a \u201cmathematical certainty . \u201d another person who made a significant appearance in this film was the feisty denver millionairess molly brown \u2013 who more or less took over her lifeboat and organized the women into shifts for taking the oars and rowing the boat , and for this and other actions , became known to history as \u201cthe unsinkable molly brown . \u201d\nwhere live - action shooting couldn\u2019t be done , models and green screen sequences were used with extensive special and digital effects , some of which \u2013 such as digital water \u2013 were being used for the first time , and indeed , titanic broke new ground in the film industry .\nhowever , i will give this film props for including \u2013 rather accurately \u2013 the stories of the californian and the carpathia , and the roles they played that night , the role of radio and the radio operators , as well as for being the first film to show the ship breaking in two as she sank ( with this being the first major film since the discovery of the wreck in 1985 ) .\nit\u2019s a story of the titanic and it is clear that it influenced the director of the most famous version that goes on for 3 days .\nin this episode , named after the celine dion song , balthazar time - travels back to the titanic in order to prevent it from sinking .\nthis film is riddled with inaccuracies , the most glaring of which is that of the iceberg gashing the ship on its port ( left ) side , when in fact , the ship collided with the berg on its starboard ( right ) side . this is basic titanic knowledge , and for the producers to make such a hideous mistake is astonishing on a scale as big as the ship itself . furthermore , the frank drama and de - emphasis on the historical record drags this film down on the list of favorites for many titanic buffs , including yours truly ."]}

sik , the man now with a page in film history thanks to his portrayal of oh dae su in the epic oldboy , plays a boxer who once tasted the glory of the sport , only to drop down thanks to his laziness and carelessness . in the other hand is ryu seung - beom , who plays a young trouble - maker that needs something to focus his raw energy before combusting himself . the guy has his acting skills in place and manages to not let choi min sik over - shadow him . the film follows familiar territory within the genre , but then again , because of the strong cast , and tight and controlled direction , the film never gets preachy or self - indulgent . these guys are not going to become world champions or anything like that , they are just looking for a chance to really start living their lives to the fullest . and that ' s what makes crying fist a fine drama and , unlike most of films dealing with boxing , it never becomes a cheap sentimental - cheering contest with the audience .\nafter the success of the modern - day comic martial arts epic arahan , writer / director ryu seung - wan changed gears and again teamed up with his brother , actor ryu seung - beom , to produce crying fist , a much more serious boxing drama . actor ryu plays yu sang - hwan , a street thug who rejects the life of his hard - working , struggling father for a life of petty crime and run - ins with the law . he winds up in a juvenile detention center , where he responds to some bullying by flying at the bully , roc ( kim su - hyeon ) , and biting his ear off . yu is then taken under the wing of the prison ' s boxing trainer , and he learns a bit of self - discipline through boxing , gradually recognizing his own strengths , and eventually acknowledging the support of his caring family . meanwhile , 40 - year - old kang tae - shik ( choi min - sik of oldboy ) , is a washed up former champion whose home and professional life have completely fallen apart . his wife leaves him , taking their young son . besieged by creditors , kang earns a meager living by charging people on the street for the privilege of punching him out . in danger of losing his son forever , his own health deteriorating rapidly , kang decides to enter one last boxing competition , the same one which the equally desperate yu has chosen to show his mettle . crying fist won a fipresci award at the 2005 cannes film festival , and had its north american premiere at subway cinema ' s 2005 new york asian film festival , with director ryu in attendance . ~ josh ralske , rovi\neach year , the cma awards nominations manage to please the fans of some artists , while confounding others . miranda lambert \u2019s followers , for instance , have a lot to be thankful for , with another record - setting nine nods for the platinum superstar , including a mention \u2014 as the only woman \u2014 in the top category , entertainer of the year . fans of jason aldean and brad paisley , on the other hand , are crying into their moonshine today .\ncrying fist is ryu ' s graduation project , a stepping stone to perhaps greater things to come in the future . all these years spent getting a general idea of how film criticism works in korea , how filmgoers are influenced by it . the needs of both parties , his needs , the expectations of his peers . and , last but not least , his international status , still in a dangerous limbo between arthouse acceptance and ' fanboy ' land . the maturity ryu shows in this project , the newfound stability that makes the film flow perfectly , the fact he ' s been able to strip himself of his influences and create something that even defies the world ' genre ' shows all those hard times were worth something . they were like hard training for an important match , perhaps the most important of his career : finding his voice . now it ' s no more wonderkid , enfant prodige , the korean tarantino or scorsese . . . it ' s just ryu seung - wan . and i think we can all be happy for that .\na korean boxing movie that sticks to the rules of the genre but applies them in a modern narrative way . after a rather hectic beginning , crying fist focuses on the parallel stories of its two protagonists . forty - year - old gang tae - shik was a medallist at the 1990 asian games , but after his family life falls apart he makes a living on the streets allowing frustrated people to punch him as therapy . a young man named yu sang - hwan is a fairly capable and remorseless gangster . he eventually ends up in prison where he is more or less forced into learning how to box . both men have gone quickly downhill , and both seek a way out of their predicaments through boxing and the approaching amateur championship . . . . this rough and tumble movie , featuring a number of bust - ups and brawls and long sequences of training and boxing matches , is rounded out by a melodramatic storyline : the two seemingly incompatible fighters are attached to their families : tae - shik to his son and sang - hwan to his seriously ill grandmother .\n00 . \uc790\uc874\uc744 \uac74 \ub450\ub0a8\uc790\uc758 \ub300\uacb0 ( the existence of two men ' s confrontation ) [ 08 : 53 ] basically a review of the film by the great korean critic kim young - jin . he talks about this film being different from other boxing films , sharing some similarities with clint eastwood ' s million dollar baby . not so much showing the professionalism of boxing , but the fences a lot of normal people find when making decisions that could change their lives . he talks about the misunderstanding about ryu ' s body of work . that he started making the films he wanted to make , the films he wanted to see . that die bad wasn ' t really an action film as a lot of people saw it , that it was more about life on the street , showing the feelings of those people . even watching no blood no tears , he thought that sentiment was even stronger . that his films always have two elements converging together : the action , and the reason why it happens , the mental state of the characters . he feels these two things have been brought to the highest level in crying fist , showing a kind of motivation and energy that is hard to find in korean films . he thinks ryu will continue to do well in the future .\nwhen you think about it , boxing is like life . you work hard for a long time , preparing for the biggest match of your career . there are people helping you get there , teaching you what to do based on their experience . but , ultimately , when you put on the gloves and enter that ring , you ' re by yourself . all you ' ve learned is put to the test , how your body and mind react to the obstacles put in front of you depends on how prepared you are . how many hits you can take before falling down and giving up . boxing , like life , is not about winning , but surviving , until the end ; it doesn ' t matter how you get there , what you do to reach that goal . . . all it matters is being there . being able to say i ' ve done it , i ' m a survivor . and it ' s only then that you can really understand the meaning of winning . ryu seung - wan ' s \uc8fc\uba39\uc774 \uc6b4\ub2e4 ( crying fist ) is a film about the huge boxing ring that is life , where surviving is the only thing that matters . where people who experience the bottom of the barrel are able to survive through fundamental emotions : rage and hope .\nwork is the efficient way in which director kim characterizes his large cast ( all identified by their internet id ' s ) . with eight main characters , and much of the film ' s 86 - minute running time devoted to fight scenes , kim needs to quickly flesh out his heroes to make them distinct and memorable . his success at doing so in the space of a short road trip makes it all the more interesting later when the characters start to pair off against each other . will iron fist , a soft -

bright lights film journal\nmerrick , mollie . \u201cfilm official tells outlook . \u201d los angeles times , september 30 , 1932 , p . 12 .\n\u201cmusical duel to be seen in demille film . \u201d los angeles times , september 11 , 1932 , p . b11 .\nbut this film is far more than a women\u2019s movie . it has been written to encompass the interest of men , as well .\neven more notable , however , is the film\u2019s release strategy . because it will be self - distributed in the uk ( opening nov . 28 on over 80 screens , a substantial spread by local standards ) by a bespoke company ( alchemy releasing ) , the filmmakers will be able to channel a substantial cut of their profits to four charities devoted to helping veterans . creating a virtuous circle , the charities are helping to niche market the film to potential audiences , and altogether the project is generating a healthy head of publicity in media outlets such as news international - newspaper the sun , and others .\n, perhaps pereda\u2019s best film . what can we say about it ? that it contains the best opening of all his films ? the great anomaly of the film , what is original about it , consists of the brutal transformation of one of its characters . is this a warning , a sign of what is to come ? in this film , pereda reached maturity as a film - maker and his approach achieved perfection . where to go from here ? it seems that the way forward is to leave this universe and its creatures behind .\nlet me tell you of a dream i had earlier this week . i woke in 2024 , in a different scotland and a very different film landscape . this is how it is in 2024 . film production in scotland has stabilized after the heady year of 2020 when two different scottish films won the cannes palme d\u2019or and the oscar for best film . the five leading film companies , all very different , grew out of the great collaboration of 2015 , when working as a co - operative , scottish film companies benefitted from a huge injection of public support from creative scotland and scottish enterprise . though controversial at the time , looking back it was just the boost that the industry needed .\nwe start our film immediately with a battle scene . we don\u2019t want men to not come to this film or feel turned off by this film . the first scene of the movie is barreling down a convoy of military soldiers being taken at gun point , big explosions and all that kind of stuff . when men come to watch the movie , they look at the first couple of scenes , they realize it\u2019s pretty cool .\nand we can . if we bear in mind what has been shared here , play to our strengths by bringing in like - minded collaborators to support our vision , and push ourselves throughout the entire project to the last hurdle , there\u2019s no reason why we can\u2019t create our own virtuous circles of fulfilling project work which leads to paid work of the same nature .\nof course the timing was perfect . the erdf fund for scottish film from 2015 provided a huge extra resource for production funding . following scotland\u2019s decision for extra tax breaks for production in scotland , combined with the attraction of new eis funds , scotland could draw on unprecedented production capital . this was a virtuous circle with the new studio providing the production space and an appetite for a throughput of new projects . joining eurimages in 2016 provided a shot in the arm for co - productions , as producers forged links all over europe .\nbut i remember in the last moments of sound mixing , watching the film with dallas taylor at defacto sound . up until that point , i had not heard the film mixed yet . i remember listening and turning around to dallas ( who was sitting behind me ) every 5 minutes saying \u201cdamn - i ' m really feeling it\u201d . . . in those moments i emotionally connected to the film and its characters in way i hadn ' t yet before .\nthis post was adapted from the new book by cecilia de mille presley and mark a . vieira , cecil b . demille : the art of the hollywood epic ( running press , 416pp , december 16 , 2014 ) . reprinted with the kind permission of the authors and publisher . the photos were taken from the book . for those lucky enough to live in los angeles , ucla is featuring a demille series ( jan . 9 - feb . 28 , 2015 ) , introduced by mark vieira , that will include a new print of sign of the cross restored from demille\u2019s personal print . see here for details .\nall things where now overtaken by silence is a film about the filming of a play . the play is a monologue of sor juana ines de la cruz\u2019s poem\ntom cruise , now 53 and strongly committed to stunt work , has just appeared in a fifth mission impossible film and signed up for another . by the time of its scheduled release , in 2017 , he will be as old as bruce willis was in the first red film , when he was retired ( though allegedly also extremely dangerous , to complete the acronym of the film\u2019s title ) . for cruise it seems that the real mission impossible would be calling it a day .\ni have this theory that a film at 98 percent done , will feel like a film at 25 percent to the average viewer . the last 2 percent of work that you put in can take a project from mediocre to incredible . . . i think a lot of people underestimate that - they abandon projects at 98 percent .\nanother important element to consider in today is the reference to time . the title of the film is a direct time reference which symbolically implies that today is a depiction of contemporary iran . however , once observed within the context of the film , it addresses a longer duration of time and directly implies the continuation of this condition into the future . it is not surprising that the title credit of today only appears thirty minutes into the film , which in itself reinforces different interpretations of time . the abrupt and delayed appearance of the film title credit also wittily emphasizes the realism of today in its portrayal of everyday chance encounters such as that of younes and sedighe .\na version of this review ran during the tribeca film festival . \u201cvirunga\u201d will be released on netflix this friday along with theatrical bookings in new york and los angeles .\nthe sign of the cross concludes in tragedy , a downbeat ending for a film released in the worst months of the depression , yet it was a huge hit .\ndemille had taken a chance in making the film . would the censor boards slash it to ribbons ? after a few anxious weeks , reports came in to the src . not one board had cut the so -

faith , integrity , wisdom and honor .\nin this film mirkarimi properly reminds us of both the lack of social infrastructure and civil rights to support women ( especially single mothers ) in a patriarchal society , coupled with the unwritten religious law that , paradoxically enough , obligates the very men of the same patriarchal society to become chivalrous in order to support defenseless women . one may argue that today is a film attempting to point out the vulnerability of women and defend those affected in iran .\ni attempt to evoke the sentiment of an entire town . it is a town in which people have grown with resentment to one another . family members abandon each other , soldiers wish to intimidate people , stories of mysterious deaths haunt the town , and an overall feeling of abandonment lures over all the characters . it is a film that seeks to evoke feelings and desires by emphasizing moments of the everyday . my concern in constructing such a film is to understand and ultimately to evoke the experience of the everyday within this environment , and to convey through film \u2013albeit a visual medium - a physical sense of feelings , place , and culture\n. n . p .\nfriday , october 10 8 : 00pm : invasion of the body snatchers ( 1956 ) film synopsis : a small - town doctor learns that the population of his community is being replaced by emotionless alien duplicates . 9 : 25pm : it came from outer space ( 1953 ) film synopsis : a spaceship from another world crashes in the arizona desert , and only an amateur stargazer and a schoolteacher suspect alien influence when the local townsfolk begin to act strange .\n\u201cdemille visualized nero as the menace in the film , \u201d said elsa lanchester , laughton\u2019s wife . \u201ccharles thought him merely funny . demille was shocked by the idea . he had old -

making . it ' s a model for the changing landscape of small scale , high impact , independent and collaborative film - making projects , and there is much to learn from how the crew pulled it off . i was very fortunate to get some time with salomon ligthelm ( salmon and his friend / collaborator dan difelice directed anomaly jointly ) to explore how he , dan and the crew made it all happen .\nis a fantastic film about people working as a team on a well - defined plan , which does not prevent the occurrence of a misfortune which becomes the central event of the film , its moment of splendour . the final shots of the rain are beautiful and quite literally to be admired ; black and white seem to combine mysteriously into a colour whose name escapes us , lying outside the scheme we use to label the colours and which links them to objects and phenomena .\nbutts county fire chief mike wilson and assistant chief randy prince both have roles as emts in the film , and during friday\u2019s filming , both sheriff gary long and chief deputy arthur white had non - speaking roles during the military briefing scene .\nin order to situate the invisible discourse of power in the role of interviewer . he creates his own system of film and , in order to change the focus of his argument , pereda takes on a new theme to portray : politics .\nthe film never tells us anything about what sedighe has been through but her helpless condition and frightened , trembling voice ( in a gripping performance by soheila golestani ) tells a lot about the tyranny that she has endured . younes , a middle - aged taxi driver and man of few words ( vaguely reminiscent of martin scorsese\u2019s 1976 film taxi driver ) , decides in an apparently chivalric move to play the role of the child\u2019s father when the hospital authorities need to know who that is .\nall of that makes the film almost critically unassailable . to cast any doubts over its quality , and therefore potentially put off viewers from seeing it for themselves , would almost be tantamount to kicking the prosthetic leg out from under a wounded veteran .\nthe advertising campaign for the sign of the cross gave the impression that paramount pictures was having a gay old time . this film was the first in hollywood history to feature homosexual characters in its ads ; they were painted by dan sayre groesbeck .\nwe should guess from younes\u2019 lack of interest in engaging in any sort of dialogue ( except for brief exchanges with sedighe ) that , for whatever reason , he is secretly frustrated . in today , silence seems to also be a critical means of allowing the film to revive the spiritualism that is associated with it . in a film where either people speak when they want to judge others or like sedighe who speaks out of helplessness , the taxi driver\u2019s denial of speech seems to function at deeper levels .\ntoday is not an entertaining film in any conventional sense but it poses a range of crucial questions to more politically conscious viewers . why does the taxi driver , in spite of being negatively judged by the hospital staff , never stop supporting the pregnant woman ? did he make a plan to adopt ( or steal ) the child after the death of the mother ? or did he act virtuously because of his religious beliefs ? the film never directly answers these questions and leaves them open to the audience\u2019s judgement .\nfriday , october 3 8 : 00pm : dr . jekyll & mr . hyde ( 1932 ) film synopsis : dr . jekyll faces horrible consequences when he lets his dark side run wild with a potion that changes him into the animalistic mr . hyde . 9 : 40pm : the creature from the black lagoon ( 1954 ) film synopsis : a strange prehistoric beast lurks in the depths of the amazonian jungle . a group of scientists try to capture the animal and bring it back to civilization for study .\nthat takes the edge off a lot more when you ' re with a group of people that are all like -

minded in making this film that hopes to change the culture ,\ncampbell said .\neveryone there is your best cheerleader .\nthe current incarnation of youth in films is not in the equivalent of a john hughes comedy , but in richard linklater\u2019s high - concept movie boyhood , in which ellar coltrane is made to age convincingly from child to man by the drastic decision to film him over 12 years . linklater\u2019s film seems to have outwitted the enemy , containing and controlling the poignancy of the passage of time , but that is just how it looks now . there is no inoculation against mortality on film , except , strangely , tragic early death . if coltrane is spared that , then one day soon he will be snapped unshaven and with bags under his eyes , and then he will be all over the media world , the shaming image appearing alongside the dewiest frame of him from boyhood .\nafter making several films with the same actors playing similar roles i decided to make a film about the process of representation . this opened a world of new possibilities including rehearsals , repetitions and interactions between fictional characters and the actors playing those characters . i continued this search by replacing one of the actors with my uncle half way into the shooting . my uncle enters the film as a documentary subject who has to relate to fictional characters that act as if he was one of them .\nn . p .\nthere were angry comments from other protestant writers , but most of the condemnation was catholic . \u201cthis film , with its sadistic cruelty , its playing up of roman lust and debauchery and crime , is intolerable , \u201d wrote demille\u2019s adviser , father lord . cleveland bishop joseph schrembs called the film a \u201cdamnable hypocrisy . \u201d jesuit america magazine called joyzelle\u2019s dance \u201cthe most un\u00adpleasant bit of footage ever passed by the hollywood censors . \u201d catholic publisher martin quigley wrote : \u201cthis scene be\u00adcomes an incident liable to an evil audience effect . \u201d\n, seems to be something very different . the director himself stated that this film aimed to offer an alternative take to the traditional \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d view . in this way , he sought to justify the significant number of long shots , which he thought were more appropriate for a \u201cbehind the scenes view\u201d , although his own film , truth be told , actually consists of some scenes in which the well - know actress , activist , performer and writer , jesusa rodr\u00edguez , appears as sister juana in\u00e9s de la cruz in the play\nafter watching mirkarimi\u2019s film , viewers are left with one critical and unsettling question : will this child live in the same nightmare in which his or her mother lived or will he or she live in a better world ? mirkarimi never gives a specific answer to this question but the vivid image of the child at the end of today might easily be seen as a symbol of hope resting at the heart of the film \u2013a solitary image of a figure that , with the forces of its universal implications , could continue to haunt any viewer\u2019s mind .\nthis film follows the lives of 11 women , beginning in the battlefields of afghanistan and going to small town georgia . it looks at women who are at different stages of their lives , whether a college student , a soldier , a single mother or a professional woman nearing retirement .\nstarts with the slow movement of an old woman . singing as she inches forward , she goes from the living room to her bed . pereda then decides to radically exclude her from the screen until virtually the very end of the film , when her presence will cause a disturbance for the two main characters , living on the outskirts of mexico city . between the beginning and the ritual and ceremonial journey with which the film closes , pereda focuses on a young man named gabino ( gabino rodr\u00edguez , his regular muse who appears in all his films ) and his mother .\npereda\u2019s stories have focused on family issues , but now a new theme can be glimpsed : the asymmetry of social ties and the discontent they cause . the interview , the film - maker\u2019s preferred format with which to examine what is not shown in the shot , is the format chosen in\ncelebrity has become an incurable condition , without remission . i can almost find it in my heart to sympathise with film stars who ban eye contact on set , or from their staff . fame is a treadmill , and having your own gym does not seem to make the legwork any easier .\nin the conversation between younes and sedighe in the labour room , younes acknowledges that \u201cfor years , he wished to wait behind a labour door , \u201d which implies that he had not been able to have a child with his wife . therefore , his apparently virtuous act of stealing or adopting the child is more of a sketch in nature . the irony of the situation lies in the fact that in an oppressive patriarchal society such as iran , it is still a man ( the father ) who will finally resolve the crisis and twist the plot at the price of the denial and death of the mother . in light of all this , one cannot decide whether _ today _ \u2019s ending is optimistic or dark . in fact , no one knows the future of the child .\nbuilding on film\u2019s position as being both cultural and industrial , ips developed a collaborative and co - operative plan that was known variously as film\u2019s common weal , and by the tag ipso facto \u2013 the very fact of it existing meant that it did good for all . the pooling of resources meant that any company of scale was able to draw upon legal , business and creative development support while freeing producers to do what they should be doing \u2013 produce . and the companies involved \u2013 ranging from low budget to high , fiction to documentary and animation \u2013 benefitted from their joint knowledge , drawing on each others experience and expertise .\nrepetition is a characteristic pattern of the film ( as it is in all pereda\u2019s cinema ) ; also , how to represent the events ( both dramatically and politically ) as an intellectual exercise is a dilemma to resolve ; the discontinuity and the continuity between the different points in history is a source of pragmatic curiosity .\nfilm stars , offering themselves as screens on to which audiences can project their fantasies , cannot expect to control the process , except in the most indirect way . a shrewd film star is both a work of art and its curator . the supreme practitioner in this line must be marlene dietrich \u2013 when you hired her , you got her lighting man , too , so that she retained full control over the product . alongside the erotic mystique , she had a strong hausfrau side , which did not show up on film , but she certainly kept her glamour swept and dusted . that professionalism extended to her home , where she received visitors in a chair placed under a spotlight , with a silver stripe painted down her nose to correct the proportions that did not meet her standards . without any such crude mechanisms , cary grant maintained an astonishingly consistent persona over the decades , defending his narrow range ( stylised ease , controlling suavity ) against any possible challenge .\nbut rather than taking its value for granted , von einsiedel gives us something to root for in the form of andre bauman , the serene gorilla caretaker whose father was killed in the civil war , along with the genial animals\u2014most of whom lost their parents in poaching incidents\u2014that thrive under his care . bauman\u2019s virtuous efforts form a striking contrast with ongoing attempts to soco representatives to blackmail members of the park\u2019s authorities , several of which are caught on camera . ( in one incident , a soco employee outright tells the clandestine videographer that \u201cwe\u2019re buying you , \u201d offering him the paltry sum of $ 3 , 000 to do their bidding . ) to scrutinize these shady dealings , von einsiedel finds freelance french journalist melanie goubie forcing her way into this ongoing battle as she charms the corporate schemers while using their information against them .\nin what was surely a first in the annals of motion - picture marketing , an early ad for \u201c left behind \u201d featured a quote taken not from a film critic , but rather from satan himself , who allegedly quipped , \u201cplease do not bring unbelievers to this movie . \u201d this presents a rare scenario in which christian moviegoers ought to feel perfectly secure heeding the advice of the devil , as this faith - based thriller is likely to inspire far more dorm - room drinking games than religious conversions . with a \u201csharknado\u201d - inspired visual style and a deeply weary lead performance from nicolas cage , \u201c left behind \u201d is cheap - looking , overwrought kitsch of the most unintentionally hilarious order , its eschatological bent representing its only real shot at box office redemption . the film hits theaters this weekend , but as for when believers can expect to see the tenets of their faith reflected with any sort of sophistication or intelligence in a mainstream genre film , we still know neither the day nor the hour .\ni feel that feeling of inadequacy all the time . i feel it when i share the script with close friends , i feel it when i talk to the actors the first time , i feel it the first day on set , and during the first assembly ( cut ) of the film . i keep feeling that up until the last cut of the film just after sound design and grade . up until that point , i think the project could be the worst thing i have ever done - literally - no lies . i even said to dan just before thanksgiving ,\nmaybe we shouldn ' t release this . . . i don ' t know if its any good .\ntoday lacks the \u201ccool effect\u201d that one might usually find in contemporary hollywood films . instead , as a work of world cinema with subtle use of the realistic mise - en - sc\u00e8ne at which iranian neorealist cineastes excel , the elements found in this film can be seen as producing psychological effects of melancholy while having the spiritual impulses of undecided hope .\ni was so stoked to see this post this morning . i ' ve been following his work for over a year now and this film speaks so much to the heart of his talent . he is behind much of the film and production for hillsong church , and i think for him this is just the beginning . salomon is inspiring many folks working in the faith - based media world to challenge ourselves to think broader and bigger on how the gospel of jesus can be told . take the time to peruse his vimeo account . the most recent promo trailer shot for hillsong conference 2015 ( speak we ' re listening ) is breathtaking . so proud of him and his team . anamoly is incredible .\nin what was surely a first in the annals of motion - picture marketing , an early ad for \u201cleft behind\u201d featured a quote taken not from a film critic , but rather from satan himself , who allegedly quipped , \u201cplease do not bring unbelievers to this movie . \u201d this presents a rare scenario in which christian moviegoers ought to feel [ \u2026 ]\ni aimed to create a poetic film that merged fiction and documentary . my intention was to make a film where the person on the screen could be at once the actor and the character . it is never clear what occurs in the world of fiction and what in the world of documentary . perhaps , a better explanation could be that at every moment , in every frame , there are elements of fiction and of documentary . i believe this to be a very interesting approach because it creates a sort of awareness that neither forms of filmmaking are closer to reality , they simply are a point of view on reality , and at the same time , a particular reality of their own .\nn . p .\nwhat nicol\u00e1s pereda\u2019s next films be like ? will they be westerns ? will he film discontent from a more political point of view ? will he shoot science fiction ? after a first exceptional stage in his career , he seems to be heading towards other areas . repetition and differentiation . a logical step for him to take was to collaborate on his last film with ' another ' . the other is the one who points out and calls our attention to differences . what is to come will be straightforward and yet also a crossroads . it will concern some kind of invention , or rather something which another pereda has found within pereda himself , something which will then be repeated with all the new issues contained in nicol\u00e1s pereda\u2019s films .\nhe has had the advantage of a late start , though it can hardly have seemed like an advantage at the time . there were plenty of male stars from hollywood\u2019s classic period who could not easily be imagined young , among them the ones who most seem to symbolise integrity : humphrey bogart and spencer tracy . a young actor can embody idealism easily enough ( james spader , say , in sex , lies and videotape , stephen soderbergh\u2019s 1989 drama of fetishism and repression ) but integrity is something that needs to have been tested over time , if not actually by time . for actors such as bogart and tracy ( plus james cagney and edward g robinson , though less reliably virtuous ) , their heyday was middle age . wrinkles formed part of their appeal , rather than undermining it . maturity was their present tense , and they had no visual history , lacking facebook pages to plunder their own lives and archive the mistakes of adolescence .\ndemille was very lucky to have leisen . if leisen had been only a superb art director , or a skilled costume designer , or a gifted assistant director , he would have been a precious asset . to have all three in one person was nothing short of miraculous , and a miracle was what demille needed . while demille was checking the construction of the arena , leisen blocked the scene in which marcus follows mercia to a well of pure water and flirts with her as she tries to go up a stone stairway . leisen designed the scene so that when marcus gains an advantage over mercia , he is above her on the stairs , but when she regains control , she is above him . leisen thus isolated the plot point : the christian girl realizes that a roman can be sexy ; the dissolute roman realizes that a virtuous girl can be powerful . when demille returned to the set , he shot the scene as leisen had choreographed it .\nthe pool of writers available to producers had expanded greatly not only through the increased training courses dedicated to script production , but also thanks to the swinney charter , which meant that any creative writer living and working in scotland lived tax free provided that at least 50 % of their work was on qualifying scottish productions \u2013 whether books , poetry , television or , crucially , film .\nchristian reisner , a methodist episcopal minister and the author of god\u2019s power for me , attacked the film . \u201cit is repellant and nauseating to every thinking christian , \u201d he wrote . \u201cit endeavors to get a lot of lewd scenes and sex - appeal exhibitions on the screen and then dresses the whole with a cheap and unhistorical hodge - podge of incidents from sacred christian martyrdom . \u201d"]}

enigmatic and riddled with disparate dimensions . originally culled from various musical scribblings written while on tour , and later , converted into a multimedia , surrealist rock symphony for film and stage , the legacy of \u201c200 motels\u201d has largely stemmed from its cinematic and recorded incarnations . the 1971 film version is a bizarre , hallucinatory slab of cult kitsch , while its double - lp soundtrack exists more as a kaleidoscopic curio than a full - fledged album statement .\nthe film was made in london because the royal philharmonic ' s fee considerably undercut american orchestras . after its release in late 1971 , zappa pretty much put\n200 motels\nbehind him \u2014 except for his lawsuit against the royal albert hall , whose management abruptly canceled a february 1971 concert of the piece , having deemed it obscene . the case came to trial in 1975 , the judge ruling that\n200 motels\nwas not obscene and that the hall had violated its contract but that zappa deserved no compensation .\ndespite being played across the world , the music for 200 motels was never performed in britain . but after years of negotiation with the zappa estate it will get its first airing as part of the southbank centre ' s the rest is noise festival this autumn .\nafter a year - and - a - half of scheming for money , frank zappa took his cherished proposal for 200 motels to united artists with a folio including a ten - page treatment , two boxes of tape , and some clippings of the group . united artists gave zappa $ 650 , 000 to finish the project . frank was angling to premiere the whole masterpiece on dutch tv for his next tour , but that never panned out . 200 motels was shot on videotape in england , then blown up to 35mm .\n200 motels is not just a movie . it ' s a whole concept that involves the music , the filming event , the characters , etc . it ' s about life on the road , and has a lot of conceptual continuity ( cc ) in it .\nin a little over an hour , ' video from hell ' provides a preview of current and projected honker releases , including ' baby snakes ' , ' the true story of 200 motels ' and ' uncle meat ' ( all 1987 . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe wide screen erupts with absurdities , explodes with spine tingling psychological terror . the mere human mind buggles at the philosophical implications as frank zappa ' s 200 motels is unleashed in the totality of its pagan splendor . its primordial fury . star - studded cast . . . and everything\ni was approached by the holland festival . they asked if they could do 200 motels ;

ass and liked to make jokes but good lord everyone was just mean to him non - stop , phoebe being the worst . i\u2019m probably wrong but it sure seems like there were always more instances of chandler comforting / helping out his friends than any of them doing anything for him .\nwell , friends obviously has the babe factor ( tm ) . they have , perhaps , the uberbabe factor ( tm ) , with kudrow , cox , and aniston combined . seinfeld has . . . um . . . elaine . this is a woman who got one of her coworkers sick by just touching her office doorknob and phone . clearly friends is ahead so far .\nsoon enough , the seinfeld posse are triumphantly sipping their exquisitely flavored cups of soup , while the friends smolder , collectively banned for 10 years for their smart - ass remarks and special requests . finally , something snaps and the friends charge , meaning to get some of that soup my any means necessary . just when a new brawl seems inevitable , who should show up but gotham ' s finest ( tm ) . these guys are bored stiff from going after jaywalkers and litterers , and are all too happy to cart the friends off to the jail cells they richly deserve .\ni bet if i got my friends to come with me , it would be like the suite life of zach and cody episode , minus the ghost coming out of the wall but you never know .\njoey ' s final remark -\nwe friends have a saying . god created naked thursdays to train new roommates , or was it god created couches so they didn ' t have to stand ?\n( the soldiers gang up on the friends and jam active pepper spray bottles into their eyes . after several minutes of torture , the lead soldier ' s beeper buzzes , and it is answered . )\nfriends gang : monica is in shape and extremely competitive . phoebe is a pacifist unless you get her dander up . then she is dangerous . rachel is a whiney wimp . luckily , the friends gang won ' t need her . ross is also whiney , but competitive - - especially when george hits on rachel . chandler has a sharp wit . joey is strong ; at least compared to the seinfeld gang .\nnecchi ( a bar owner ) , perozzi ( a journalist ) , melandri ( an architect ) and mascetti ( a broken nobleman ) live in florence . they have been friends since their youngest years and spend every . . . see full summary \u00bb\ni voted for friends because i ' m in it , and i like me . . . smelly cat , smelly cat , what are they . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\nthe four old friends meet on the grave of the fifth of them , perozzi , who died at the end of the first episode . time has passed but they are still up for adventures and cruel jokes , and . . . see full summary \u00bb\nfriends is just a clone of seinfeld , and as we all know a clone is only half as powerful as the original . don ' t believe me ? look at bizzaro , mini - me , the godfather part ii , and euro disney world .\ni owe a great deal to television , but this is where i draw the line , dammit ! no matter what television has thrown my way , i consumed it . willingly . but friends and seinfeld proved to be the one serving i couldn ' t suppress the gag reflex on . hell , i ' ve watched , and for the most part , been a fan of everything from\nadam adamant lives !\nto\nzoom\n. but seinfeld and friends cross the line of bad taste and stupidity that\nross couldn\u2019t stop fixating on the fact that his wife was a lesbian to his friends , but when he was in public , he had a hard time admitting his wife\u2019s sexuality to strangers , even though she had no problem with it . in \u201cthe one with two parts\u201d ( s1 : e16 ) , all three attended lamaze class together and ross tried to explain susan as \u201ccarol\u2019s friend . \u201d carol clarified , saying that they were \u201clife partners , \u201d but ross interrupted to claim that they were just very good friends .\na quick tip for next time : you should really let someone know when you stop caring about them . if only i had known , i would\u2019ve moved on before your disregard for me sent me into a self - despising spiral . the hardest thing i ever did was detach myself from you , but it has set me free more than you\u2019ll ever know . i\u2019m still struggling , but at least i\u2019m not forcing a friendship that isn ' t there . just like john green said , \u201cit is so hard to leave\u2014until you leave . and then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world . \u201d\ni got you all the good bs : burger and bananas and butter , your favorite thing in the world . remember when we were training in obedience , goddamned dog , when you thought go - outs were pointless , so i put a little butter on the target and you got it in one try ? you ate your whipped cream out of the canister this morning just like at thanksgiving , a little slow to catch it as it foamed out , but you caught it just the same . you tried to get up when you heard me cooking and the dishwasher open , your duties as sous chef and pre - washer not forgotten .\nok , i shall revise . idiots can occasionally win something but only if they are in a place that voted for walter mondale . but putting aside the unique wisdom of the minnesota voting population for the moment , the fact still remain that the friends group is totally out gunned .\neven though i was too young to remember friends in its initial 1994 - 2004 run , i grew up watching the reruns , so i knew the episodes pretty well . at least i thought i did , until i binge watched all ten seasons when the show became available on netflix .\nplus , how do you think jerry , george and kramer will be after doing some hard time ? mad as hell . after fighting off convicts in the shower and bench - pressing some prison yard weight , they ' ll mop up manhattan with the three mary - boys on friends .\nhas it started snowing already in minnesota ? are the cold , harsh october winds freezing mark ' s brain to a fare - thee - well ? as cute , lovable , and downright maladjusted as the friends are , that and a buck ' ll get you a ride on the subway compared to uber - mental powers possessed by the seinfeldians ( again , at least as compared to the mental dwarves in the friends universe ) . ross may have a doctorate , but only in the t . v . world could he last more than five minutes on the mean streets of gotham . phoebe , rachel , and joey don ' t have two brain cells to rub together between them , and chandler couldn ' t fight his way out of a douche bag . i ' d say paper bag , but the friends ' resident pseudo - gayman just doesn ' t rate it .\njerry - well , actually jerry is kind of a wimp , if you ask me . he whines a lot , is too picky about everything , and caves in to his friends wishes a lot . he almost sounds like . . monica . so the two will balance each other out .\ni remember watching friends the first time around and thinking that ross needed to chill out about rachel dating this italian stallion . but then rewatching the show , i found myself agreeing with ross : what exactly did rachel see in paolo ? because , uh , there really wasn\u2019t much to look at .\nsuperman quickly disposes of monica with a blast of super - breath , but not in time to save seinfeld . the surviving friends are left as the winners , being the only team with players still on the field , and emerge , wide - eyed and blinking , into the new york night .\nyou joined in your things\u2019 events with all their friends , equally your things in your mind , equally careless with cheetos and chips and always your favorite place to be , surrounded by the boys you\u2019d loved from grade school to university , accepting all new comers and girlfriends and additional members of the crowd as your own .\nmonicelli ended up directing a project by his friend pietro germi when the latter fell seriously ill . five middle - aged florentine friends , some of whom are wealthy , others totally broke , spend most of their time playing outlandish jokes on anyone they come across to try and stay young and stave off the shadow of death .\n2 . elaine - she is not afraid of anything , except maybe breaking up with puddy . she took on george ' s father and even a soup nazi and won , so she has proven she can go toe to toe with the best . none of the friends gang has the fierceness that an angry elaine can create .\nthe second world war is nearly over . several friends get together in the streets of florence and plan to revive interest in boxing in their shattered country , which has been completely forgotten about because of the war and the impending defeat . to do this they go round various towns and villages and put on what on occasions are absurd fights .\nthe gang on friends are nice to each other . ross is a big , whiny baby , incapable of harboring a mean thought toward anyone . phoebe is too flaky to be malicious . joey would just act mean , and even then it ' s not a very good imitation . chandler comes close , but he ' s still a big walking doormat .\nc ' mon ! ! this one is a no - brainer . friends are a bunch of mamby - pamby , wishy - washy group huggers . the seinfeld gang has killed and maimed before and done so with no remorse . george killed his fiance using stationery . jerry flattened bette midler on the softball field . kramer beats up kids in his karate class .\nall right ! now this is a match that us evilphiles can really sink our teeth into ! we have seinfeld , the icon of modern self - absorbed pettiness . we have friends , the paragon of servitude to the coolness codes . thank you , thank you , thank you ! ! ! ( er , i mean , i hate you . . . ahem . )\nyes . . . the soup nazi . with his thief friends , they will steal the couch . this time the soup nazi will not give it to kramer , and the consequences happen thus . . . it gets a place in the kitchen , then it gets dirty with soup stains . . . then used as rags . . . both couchless and uphoulstry mangled .\nsecond episode of the adventures of the group of fifty - somethings in amici miei . the action begins where the previous film left off : at the funeral of one of the friends who reappears through the memories and recollections of his companions . despite the time gone by and the fact that death is never far away , all they know how to do is to carry on playing their tedious jokes .\ni agree that the seinfeld gang might be wimpy and run away during the first confrontation . that would leave the younger , hipper friends ownership of the couch . but , what few realize is that the simply purchasing of the couch is not the end . the naive friends will move the couch into one of their outrageously cheap , yet lavous apartments , assuming they don ' t end up destroying it along the way . regardless , the seinfeld group will not just give up . after several nerve - racking days of plotting and scheming , they will find a way to take back the couch that is rightfully theirs , whether through subterfuge , breaking and entering , or just grabbing it and running away , though that is difficult with a couch . in the end , seinfeld will have his couch .\nelsa matinelli , who a few years later was to be howard hawks ' african heroine in hatari ! , is donatella , a bookbinder ' s daughter . one day she finds a bag that a wealthy american woman has lost . they become good friends and when the woman has to go back to the usa , she asks donatella to move into her house so that it doesn ' t look like nobody is living there .\nall right mark , i understand really i do . i know it is a scary time up there in minnesota , what with knowing you aren ' t going to see the sun again for six months , so i ' ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it was fear induced insanity that made you pick the friends gang , because lets face it there is no way the seinfelders are losing this one .\n3 . kramer - what can i say about kramer . he is both smart and dumb at the same time , which , going up against friends , can actually help . he has invented things ( the bro , or manzierre , as well as perfume that smells like the beach ) , and has proven that he can go crazy on the drop of a dime . against joey or pheobe , the edge goes to kramer .\n1 . george - although unlucky with anything female , he has one of the most devious , evil minds on tv . he manages to move from job to job without actually ever working , fakes being handicapped to et his own office and bathroom , and can find a way out of almost everything except giving his atm password . ross is probably the smartest of all the friends , but he will prove no match for evil george .\nso , my friends and i are at this furniture store the other day , trying to buy a couch and this other group comes along and also tries to buy it . now , to me , haggling over furniture seems kind of petty . i mean , if this couch is going to become a part of my apartment or some strangers apartment , i really feel as if the couch should get a say in the matter .\nunfortunately for those craving a conflict like myself , this one will be ended quickly due to outside interference . to wit , the series finale of seinfeld ended with them in prison ; therefore , to be participating in this contest they must have escaped ( or our legal system released them early , but i imagine battling over a couch counts as a parole violation anyway ) . as they are the only people probably more likely than mork and mindy to attract attention in new york city , i figure within seconds of the start of this match the cops are gonna burst in and play baton baseball with jerry and his comrades . unfortunately this does mean the cast of friends win by default ; we can hope the friends catch a few blows by mistake in the confusion but i fear the\ni ' ll be there for you\ngang won ' t hang around long enough this time .\nare you kidding me ? was it not clearly established in the last episode that the sienfeld gang consists of the worst people on the face of the earth ? a normal day for these guys consists of stealing rye from an old lady , posioning future spouses , getting rid of hardworking soup salesmen and getting poor pakistanis deported . what does the friends gang do all day ? sit around and whine their love lives ? give me a break . . .\nit was a back yard barbecue ; vic\u2019s motorcycle club of fellow veterans , along with wives , brother , nieces and nephews , grand - nieces and friends . you schmoozed like a pro , saying hello to everyone , weaving in and out of the motorcycles , dancing a little , greeting the kids and , thanks to one little friend , sharing chips and dip . a lot of chips , a lot of salsa , a lot of spinach and cheese dip .\nfriends . . . they ' re driven mainly by codes of gen - x cool . they ' re that high school super - popular clique that didn ' t have to dirty their hands fighting because anyone stupid enough to oppose them was beaten up by the football team , the wrestling team . . . hell , even the chess club would throw a few pawns at the transgressor . they are ferris bueller to the sixth power . we just saw what ferris did to ex - con joe\nred\nclark . when the seinfelders approach , scheme in hand , the friends will be oblivious . . . ross & rachel ; , chandler & monica ; , joey & phoebe ; will be too busy making out to even care about the bitter baby boomers . . . their hordes of fans , however , will not . the second george * touches * rachel ' s ' do ( tm ) . . . game over .\nrlly ross is a dick ? mark admits he wanted rachel , proving ross s fears justified . his reactions were awful sure . then rachel goes on a date with the guy out of spite . but ross is the bad guy ? in order of worst to best friend i would say its phoebe \u2013 rachel \u2013 ross \u2013 monica \u2013 chandler \u2013 joey . and before you say anything im thinking of in the context of the 6 friends . joey is obviously terrible to other women .\nin short , the friends gang are nice people , far too nice to be real new yorkers ( tm ) . whereas the entire cast of seinfeld is chock - full of the rage ( tm ) . jerry ' s mad for a million minor reasons , kramer is angry for a reason no one can really comprehend , elaine is upset because all the guys she meets are jerks , and george is pissed off because he ' s short , fat , bald , and still lives with his parents .\nyou stayed quiet for the whole ceremony \u2013 handled it like a pro . sat politely all the way to the kiss before bolting toward the food being readied in the back . a few plaintive howls sent in just the right direction got you , i noticed , some pulled pork and ribs , bone off , from a few of your new friends . who am i to argue , after all , with a twenty - pound beagle wending her way through the families of large biker men clad in leather and honorable colors ?\ni deserve better than you . i deserve friends who will always be with me , not just when it\u2019s convenient for them . you were constantly making me feel small because you needed to feel big . i\u2019m not mad at you , i\u2019m just sad . disappointed , really . i let you in , and i made you bigger in my life than you made me in yours . after everything that has happened , i just want to know , did you ever consider me a friend ? or was i always just a topic of conversation to you ?\nrachel was a cow the whole time . she\u2019d dump ross and then when he had a new girlfriend she\u2019d suddenly realise she still loved him , or guilt trip him . she even turned up in england at his wedding and broke that up and then broke up with him again when she got him back . high maintenance too using all of her friends for money and as shoulders to whine on . i think ross must have been mentally insane to still love her even though he was supposedly in love with other people too . how could anyone love that user ?\nas events turn against the friends , rachel pulls out her ultimate weapon . yes , not only is jennifer aniston a superstar of film and screen , she is also the secret captain of twiggy ' s waifs instant terror society . as she releases the twits symbol from her the empty space in her head , calista flockhart and kate moss arrive on the scene . quickly , they climb the nearby refrigerators and unleash the devastating triple vomit splash ( tm ) . it looks like the seinfeld gang will be crushed worst than a chair at an chris farley look - a - like convention .\nso david watched the woman he had been in love with for seven years accept another man\u2019s proposal , and to top it off , phoebe admitted that if he had asked first , she probably would have said yes . david left barbados , lonely and filled with regret . i just get so sad thinking about how terrible david\u2019s fate turned out and i want justice for this sweet , awkward , lovable guy . if that friends movie ever happens , i want just at least one throwaway line that mentions that david is now successful and happily married and maybe doing voiceover work on the simpsons .\nsorry to be the one to have to tell you , but in the world we live in good looks are all that matters . the friends gang will win because they are all more or less attractive . although i don ' t personally think rachel is all that hot , she has squinty little eyes , and monica is kind of a bitch . even with those two draggin ' them down , the friend - ly crew will mop the floor with the seinfeldians because , and let ' s be honest here , they are ugly . elaine ' s okay , but the others are just plain ugly . i wrote a little song about it :\nhow can you claim that the friends are stupid ? they were clever and resourceful enough to fashion a very long poking device out of chopsticks to check on ugly naked guy . i might add that it was joey that came up with this idea , and if he ' s the dumbest , imagine what the rest of the friends could do . what does seinfeld have ? kramer ? his best idea was a rubber bladder for the inside of oil tankers , and it was a flop . george ? he ' s only smart when he ' s not thinking about sex , and i doubt he ' ll have anything else on his mind after he sees phoebe , monica , and rachel . elaine ? this is a woman who singlehandedly ran the j . peterman corporation into the ground , you ' ve heard the drivel that ' s in that catalog it clearly isn ' t written by intelligent people . the fact that elaine was unable to do this suggests her idiocy . jerry ? it ' s true that he ' s always there with the witty remarks , but look at what he has to work with . george and kramer are walking punchlines , anyone could make fun of them . besides , he regularly got outsmarted by newman , anyone that has that happen to them must be an idiot .\nfirst aired ) , but still . . . has the human brain devolved to the point where nothingness is considered funny ? i ' m beginning to think that i might just have to take over the airwaves ( and cable ) to remind everyone what quality tv is all about . funny is carol burnett , as scarlett o ' hara , wearing a curtain rod . funny is bugs bunny doing just about anything . quality television requires good writing and likeable characters , not whiny losers who pull a muscle when trying to affect a cute pose after a joke goes horribly awry . seinfeld and friends ain ' t quality tv in this or any other lifetime .\nobviously , the poor thing was trying to get some rest by camouflaging itself as a couch in a pier 1 . after all , who really does buy furniture from them ? well , unfortunately for the haggunenon , the friends and seinfeld gangs do . the tug - o - war they start with it is the last straw . before you can say ,\neat your heart out , galapagos islands !\n, it evolves into a ravenous bugblatter beast of traal and scarfs down both sets of self - absorbed poseurs , pausing only to dunk them in their own coffee . and , thankfully for us ( well , me , anyway ) , it does not make the mistake of reevolving into an escape pod .\ni finished \u201cthe last one\u201d at 3 am , and when i shut down my laptop and finally went to sleep , i realized that there are a lot of things off about friends i didn\u2019t notice the first time around . and i\u2019m not talking about obvious stuff like how it\u2019s impossible that monica was able to afford that spacious two bedroom apartment in the village even with her supposed rent control or how it\u2019s ironic that ross and rachel were billed as the series\u2019 top couple when they were only together for two out of the ten seasons . i\u2019m talking about stuff you don\u2019t notice until you sit down and watch all 236 episodes all in a row . buckle up , kids . i\u2019m going to point out some stuff that will blow your mind .\nin any other town , the friends would eke out a win after a brawl producing many lethal , organ - exposing injuries . this is new york , however , a city that credits its low murder rate to aggressive prosecution of people who jump subway turnstiles or urinate in public . these guys probably have a couple of squad cars following poppy around all day ; how do you think they ' ll respond to a full - blown furniture riot ? wading in with their nightsticks set on whomp , rudy ' s boys in blue will haul our hapless combatants off to the pokey . when the two groups arrive at the store the next day , the couch is gone , and the man who purchased it has left behind identical notes for each group :\nwhile the match commentary brings out many good points , it ignores one major fact . based on the premise , this is an intelligent sofa . if you were a sofa , who would you rather have sit on you : george or rachel ? in the effort to get the more desirable derriere , the sofa will fight all attempts to go with the seinfeld gang . after jerry and co . catch a few well - thrown springs and find that the cushions are suddenly all lumpy , they ' ll forget about the sofa and go off somewhere to have a wacky adventure about nothing at all , leaving the prize in the hands of the friends mob . now if the sofa can just figure out how to get put in rachel ' s apartment . . .\namongst my group of friends , none of us never really bought into the rachel / joey ship . i could believe that joey and rachel had an unrequited crushes on each other , but when it came down to watching them kiss on screen and go on dates , it fell flat . it\u2019s strange because on paper , joey and rachel do seem like an ideal couple . someone even went through the trouble of listing all the reasons why : they\u2019re compatible in terms of intelligence and temperament , they don\u2019t have a complicated history like rachel does with ross , and they got along well as roommates . however , it was still just so weird to see them together , especially since at this point rachel and ross had a child together . even if joey and rachel stayed together , how were they going to fit ross in their relationship ?\n1 . matthew perry was clearly in a bad place and only getting worse throughout the show\u2019s run , going from svelte and healthy - looking in season 1 to slightly bloated and permanently crimson - hued around season 8 . 2 . the cast will not stop shouting their lines in the later episodes , making them quite tiresome to watch . 3 . yes , ross is a dick . the show keeps trying to present him as being lovably apprehensive , but his behaviour is so petty and so hysterical that he ends up looking faintly sociopathic , and i wonder why the rest of the gang don\u2019t just tell him to fuck off . 4 . friends overall is watchable , but not particularly memorable , to the point at which even after having watched several dozen episodes i can barely recall any lines , plots , gags , supporting characters , etc . except for \u201cwe were on a break ! \u201d , obviously .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ntuscany , august 1944 : the allies have just entered florence , italy is devasted by the war , and the people are hungry .\ndieci\n, who claims to have been a boxer and a manager , gathers a group . . . see full summary \u00bb\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

music media figures of the last 40 years , yet for all of his power and influence , the man seems lonely , adrift , and somewhat shattered . hickenlooper overwhelmingly makes the case that rodney was at the very epicenter of what was ' hip ' for many decades . however , by the end of the film , one wonders how such close access to wealth , celebrity , and mass adulation would gain rodney so very little . it is both sad and ironic that a man who ' s impeccable taste brought joy to millions of music fans would end up in such a melancholy situation . the mayor of sunset street is a strikingly original portrait of a rather doleful individual .\nmayor of the sunset strip arrives in australia on dvd , but in america it had a well - received cinema release , which focused attention on bingenheimer and prompted kroq ' s management to briefly feature him during the daytime again . the dj is sanguine about having his life dissected by hickenlooper ' s camera , despite the spotlight being turned on his childhood and an undercurrent of loneliness that runs through the narrative .\ni had a great childhood ,\nhe insists .\nthe sheer number of artists featured in director george hickenlooper ' s documentary about bingenheimer attests to his astounding influence : david bowie , cher , courtney love , brian wilson , blondie , gwen stefani , johnny marr and oasis , to name a few . hickenlooper , however , goes beyond celebrity interviews to explore celebrity itself and its powerful allure for bingenheimer , a lonely kid from suburban california who reinvented himself as the\nmayor of the sunset strip .\na look at the history of fame in the world through the eyes of pop star impresario , rodney bingenheimer .\nthere are plenty of other moments in\nmayor of the sunset strip\nthat aren ' t easy to shake , as when rodney visits his father and stepmother ' s house and they explain that rodney ' s picture isn ' t among the family photographs they have displayed prominently in their living room .\nthey ' re in the other room ,\nthe stepmother explains . rodney heads for that other room and digs through some carelessly stacked pictures to pull out a snapshot of himself , age 4 or so , with the easter bunny . his stepmother looks on , musing idly ,\ndad ' ll have to put that in a frame .\nyet\nmayor of sunset strip\nisn ' t a downer . bingenheimer admits , only at hickenlooper ' s prodding , that he could use more money , a comment that ' s particularly wrenching considering that bingenheimer has helped his share of down - and - out dreamers over the years ( one of whom , a 50ish transplanted texan who wants desperately to be a rock star , is interviewed in the movie ) . it ' s possible that some of the acts bingenheimer has brought to prominence over the years have helped him out financially ; if they haven ' t , they need to seriously consider it .

'\nfrom the april 7 - 14 , 2004 issue of metro , silicon valley ' s weekly newspaper .\nbingenheimer was an early devotee of the church of st . warhol , accepting the doctrine of salvation through contact with celebrities . he actually knew the artist , showing us a christmas card he got from warhol , in which the artist is wearing wings :\nandy is an angel , and he ' s with my mom right now .\nbingenheimer was particularly good friends of sonny and cher . in an interview , cher notes ,\nrodney just seemed very gentle . you didn ' t have to wonder what his ulterior motives were .\nl . a . is so full of ulterior motives that the exterior motive is almost extinct . that lack of ulterior motives may be bingenheimer ' s claim to fame , and so the life of a second - generation dweller in the antechamber of celebrity is movingly captured .\nhappily , bingenheimer still does the show midnight to 3am on sundays , which - - in the cutthroat world of l . a . radio - - is like winning the nobel prize for longevity . deborah harry of blondie is today a wistful character actress . the angry samoans , who composed a musical letter to rodney titled\nget off the air\n(\nget off the air , you fucking square\n) , have long since been broomed out of the punk - rock spotlight by the sweep - clown of oblivion . and bingenheimer still paces the boulevard , dines at denny ' s and hangs out with kim fowley .\nthis hardcore chronicle is great , covering all the cities with scenes of fans and bands , interviewing the men and women who were on the frontlines of the genres birthing , including godfathers henry rollins , keith morris , and ian mackaye . read the book too , it ' s got plenty about houston ' s hardcore history as well .\nas the credits roll pictures of rodney ' s life , and appearances with his famous friends , are shown .\nhickenlooper mixes contemporary and vintage footage , crisscrossing the past and the present to sift out every possible fleck of glitter from bingenheimer ' s sometimes glamorous , sometimes pedestrian , career . zelig - like , bingenheimer shows up in photograph after photograph , as well as in live - performance footage , sidled up to the big stars of the day . he was never a stone ' s throw away from a photo op with the likes of the doors , the mamas and the papas , jimi hendrix , bob dylan and frank zappa .\nthe ramones made great music together , but they seemed to hate the shit out of each other while they were together . for a band as documented as the ramones , this film actually manages to shed new light on the band , even for the devotees out there .\nwhile hickenlooper never takes the cheap route of making bingenheimer a figure of pity , he manages to capture the halo of sadness that hovers around the man . bingenheimer has a close friend named camille , a tall brunette with an intense , but not unkind , demeanor . it ' s obvious the two care for each other , but bit by bit we catch glimpses of the nature of their relationship . it becomes clear that bingenheimer has romantic feelings for camille , whereas she announces , almost flatly , that she\nhas a boyfriend , and rodney ' s just a friend .\nat the age of 58 , bingenheimer has been cutting his hair like the former ramones drummer for several decades now . he also knew him , along with , it seems , virtually every other musician of note to even momentarily set foot in la over the past four decades .\nthe director sees his subject as the person who got there earlier , and got closer , than the millions who followed .\nif you aren ' t a fan of these prog gods from the great white north , you will at least have a respect for them after checking out this star - studded doc . trent reznor and billy corgan are just some of the followers who weigh in on the power trio .\nhickenlooper is a smart young filmmaker who co - directed the 1991\nhearts of darkness : a filmmaker ' s apocalypse ,\nwhich documented the making of francis ford coppola ' s\napocalypse now .\nmore recently , he gave us the flawed but inescapably elegant\nthe man from elysian fields .\nhere , hickenlooper doesn ' t set out just to tell the story of an unsung hero ( although that ' s surely part of his goal ) . he ' s deftly filling in a much bigger picture , a sprawling , abstract canvas , rendered in some pretty melancholy colors , about the ways our love of music can affect our lives : sure , music enriches us . but the rough truth is , it can also beat the crap out of us . i ' ve heard more than one musician reflect ruefully ,\nmusic ruined my life\n- - in other words , the love of it spoiled them for anything else .\nfor those of us old enough to remember the music scene of the late 60 ' s , 70 ' s and beyond ( even the popularity of the monkees ! ) this film is like going to a wonderful , emotionally affecting family reunion . the stills and video footage are so wonderful , it makes you want to see the film more than once , or own a copy . what is most striking about the film , though , is rodney himself . i ' m sure that there are many people in the world he inhabits who are conceited or arrogant or dismissive of ordinary people . but rodney ' s pureness of heart shines through in this film . you can clearly see how unpretentious , genuine , and generous of spirit he is , and how he relates to people like cher or nancy sinatra as real people , not because they are famous . although the filmmaker seems to focus on areas of rodney ' s life that remain unfulfilled , and this brings more than a little pathos to the overall tone of the film , the film really makes you care and want to know more about this unique man , who truly has a beautiful spirit .\nthere ' s also hickenlooper ' s underlying theme , that bingenheimer is emblematic of america ' s celebrity culture , that he presaged the current welter of tabloid magazines , celebrity trials and publicist - approved romances .\nyou don ' t realize how much of am insufferable smart - ass bob dylan was in the beginnings of his fame until you see d . a . pennebaker ' s don ' t look back , which follows him on his 1965 uk tour . the opening scene is the most iconic part , with dylan famously rolling through the lyrics of\nsubterranean homesick blues\non large cards as allen ginsberg hangs around behind him .\nbritish filmmaker nick broomfield investigates the death of kurt cobain and tries to determine if his widow courtney love was behind it all .\nthe film was directed by george hickenlooper , who made the classic doc\nhearts of darkness : a filmmaker ' s apocalypse\n( 1991 ) , about the nightmare of coppola ' s\napocalypse now ,\nand the wonderful fiction film\nthe man from elysian fields\n( 2001 ) . why did he make this film ( apart from the possibility that someone named hickenlooper might feel an affinity for someone named bingenheimer ) ? hickenlooper has been around fame at an early age . he was 26 when he released the doc about the coppola meltdown . he cast mick jagger and james coburn in\nelysian fields .\nhe was aware of rodney bingenheimer when the name still opened doors . his film evokes what the japanese call mono no aware , which refers to the impermanence of life and the bittersweet transience of things . there is a little rodney bingenheimer in everyone , but you know what ? most people aren ' t as lucky as rodney .\nthis is one of the best , if not only , documentary on black metal that adequately explains the bands and their ethos . it ' s harrowing and sad at parts .\nrodney on the roq ( kroq in so cal ) were instrumental in many people lives at that time - the late great 80 ' s . that was the music that molded many of today ' s bands . however , it stands the test of time and that sound has been distorted with many new bands as well . that music will never die .\nbingenheimer has a zelig -

called friends of rodney should have been cut . their candid self - promoting callousness made me depressed .\nthin is in ,\nrodney says to the camera next to a woman who later admits that she is not rodney ' s gal , but just his friend . why did that have to be included ? rodney probably has a great deal of valuable bootleg recordings or rare lps and 45s that many of us love and love to hear about . more about the music and less about the sad facts in rodney ' s life please . can someone redo the movie ?\nthe sex pistols get the documentary they always deserved , with director julien temple looking back with the band using footage he shot during their short reign of terror . watching john lydon get misty -

[ 25 ]\n. the malfunctioning treadwell blows a fuse and is unable to follow . luke speeds off into the desert to find his friends . the scene originally occurred after the\nwilliam katt : tommy ross\u2019 blonde froey locks were no match for young and lusty carrie . behind that mass of gorgeous curls was actor william katt , a los angeles native and a son of two actors . carrie was katt\u2019s most prominent role in a feature film , although he starred in other flicks that you may recall in the 80s like baby : secret of the lost legend ( dinosaurs never looked so real ! ) and the horror - comedy cult classic house . although he was close to landing the role of luke skywalker in star wars , the gig ultimately went to another blondie , mark hamill . but by and large , katt has mostly maintained his acting career with tv roles and did end up playing another superhero of sorts for a few seasons in the 80s . . . the greatest american hero , anyone ? these days , he\u2019s been seen on tv shows like andromeda and justice league and has made some smaller film appearances in films like gamers and alien vs . hunter .\nthe music for c - 3po ' s and r2 - d2 ' s arrival on tatooine is very similar to the beginning of the second part titled the sacrifice of igor stravinsky ' s the rite of spring .\nspanning a century of film music and counting down from 25 to number one throughout the evening , principal conductor john mauceri and the hollywood bowl orchestra performed excerpts from each of the winning scores , many of them accompanied by favorite movie scenes shown on the bowl ' s big video screens . while television broadcasts have announced the previous eight installments of afi ' s 100 years . . . series , this event marks the first time an afi countdown was revealed before a live audience .\n\u201cthe greatest , \u201d the screen biography of muhammad ali , a . k . a . cassius clay , is a charming curio of a sort hollywood doesn ' t seem to make much any more . it ' s movie about a real\u2010life personality who plays himself in reconstructions of those events that brought him to success ' s pinnacle , which , in turn , prompted movie producers to want to make this movie about him .\nstar wars won several awards at the 1978 academy awards , including best art direction - set decoration , which went to john barry , norman reynolds , leslie dilley and roger christian . best costume design was awarded to john mollo ; best film editing went to paul hirsch , marcia lucas and richard chew ; john stears , john dykstra , richard edlund , grant mccune and robert blalack all received awards for best effects , visual effects . john williams was awarded his third oscar for best music , original score ; the best sound went to don macdougall , ray west , bob minkler and derek ball ; and a special achievement for sound effects went to ben burtt . additional nominations included alec guinness for best actor in a supporting role , george lucas for best screenplay and best director , and gary kurtz was nominated for his producing duties in best picture . [ 52 ] at the golden globe awards , the film was nominated for best motion picture - drama , best director , best supporting actor ( alec guinness ) , and best score . it only won the award for best score . [ 52 ] it received six bafta nominations : best film , best editing , best costume , best production / art design , best sound , and best score ; the film won in the latter two categories . [ 52 ] john williams ' soundtrack album won the grammy award for best album of an original score for a motion picture or television program , [ 52 ] and the film was awarded the hugo award for best dramatic presentation . [ 52 ] in 1997 , the mtv movie awards awarded chewbacca the lifetime achievement award for his work in the star wars trilogy . [ 52 ]\nthe music associated to the opening capture of the blockade runner is very similar to mars , from holst ' s the planets . in the liner notes to the original sound track recording , williams implicitly acknowledged the connection by explaining why he didn ' t simply use holst ' s the planets . he said that he felt he could give the music a more unified feel if he wrote it all himself .\nit\u2019s been 25 years since the last call at the bar where everybody knows your name .\nin alderaan ' s place , they find what seems to be an asteroid field . the planet was destroyed by the dreaded death star , on the orders of grand moff tarkin , to set an example of the power of the empire . the millennium falcon is pulled aboard the death star by its powerful tractor beam .\nbasically an attempted remake of rocky . it ' s interesting in a sense to cast ali as himself here but it ' s perhaps unsurprising that for as great a boxer as he was , he was no actor . hence surrounding him with a cast including robert duvall , james earl jones , and ernest borgnine to at least give the film the appearance of acting happening up on screen . i ' d be interested in learning just how much hellman shot on this film , as it appears to lack a lot of the visual ideas that are present in a majority of his work .\nladd offered lucas some of the only support from the studio ; he dealt with scrutiny from board members over the rising budget and complex screenplay drafts . after production fell two weeks behind schedule , ladd told lucas that he had to finish production within a week or he would be forced to shut down production . the crew split into three units , led by lucas , kurtz , and production supervisor robert watts , respectively . under the new system , the project met the studio ' s deadline . [ 3 ] [ 18 ] ilm concluded shooting on april 22 , 1977 with shot 110p , that of a star destroyer . [ 21 ]\napproximately nineteen years after the formation of the galactic empire , the galaxy is in a state of civil war . the rebel alliance has won their first major victory by stealing plans to the galactic empire ' s secret weapon , the death star . hoping that the stolen plans can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy , princess leia organa , who is in custody of the stolen plans attempts to race home aboard the tantive iv . however , her ship is intercepted by the imperial i - class star destroyer devastator over the desert planet of tatooine .\nthe film is set about nineteen years after the formation of the galactic empire ; construction has finished on the death star , a weapon capable of destroying a planet . after princess leia organa , a leader of the rebel alliance , receives the weapon ' s plans in the hope of finding a weakness , she is captured and taken to the death star . meanwhile , a young farmer named luke skywalker meets obi - wan kenobi , who has lived in seclusion for years on the desert planet of tatooine . when luke ' s home is burned and his aunt and uncle killed , obi - wan begins luke ' s jedi training as they\u2014along with han solo , chewbacca , c - 3po and r2 - d2 \u2014attempt to rescue the princess from the empire .\na look back at the \u201chappy days\u201d cast that rocked and rolled on the hit 1970s sitcom .\nin a tribute to a recent passing of a legend of boxing muhammad ali , i decided to watch this 1977 biographical movie , in which ali stars as himself . this is a dramatised version of his life story up to the late 1970s . it includes his olympic triumphs as cassius clay , his conversion to islam , his refusal of the army draft and the legal battle after being stripped of his world title . ali was a very gifted showman and a talented personality in different aspects on media and television , and it was fun to see ali act in an actual movie . he was a great man and we will all miss him . the film , in my opinion , wasn ' t that bad , and it even included the actual footage of ali ' s fights . a good biographical sports drama overall .\nthere are many short alternate takes throughout star wars where luke appears in his poncho : luke in the desert , in the tusken raiders ' canyon , luke finding the destroyed homestead , and in the hangar on yavin 4 . the only poncho scenes that made the final cut were in docking bay 94 , on the millennium falcon flight from the death star , and on arrival on yavin 4 .\nthe music for the awards ceremony at the end of the movie begins with the force / ben ' s theme , and then transitions into a theme that , in the liner notes , williams says is reminiscent of\nthe coronation\n, which probably refers to elgar ' s , or , more likely , william walton ' s coronation march .\nthis will be a day long remembered . it has seen the end of kenobi . it will soon see the end of the rebellion .\nafter escaping from the trash compactor , the group hurries back to the millennium falcon , hoping that obi - wan has successfully shut down the tractor beam . they encounter stormtroopers on their way to the ship , evading and blasting their way past them .\nr2 - d2 has absconded from his new master , luke skywalker . early in the morning , luke and threepio rush off in the landspeeder to search for r2 , with threepio driving the landspeeder . they talk about artoo , ben kenobi , and how angry uncle owen is going to be . the scene belongs at the start of the sequence where luke and 3po search for r2 , before the attack of the tusken raiders . the moment was scored with a light version of luke ' s theme ; the music can be heard at the beginning of the cue\nland of the sand people\non the original lp and cd configurations , or\nlandspeeder search\nin the special edition album . before the days of cgi , scenes like this landspeeder cockpit sequence had to be filmed against a rear - projection screen . the scene was dropped due to poor quality .\nali is shown fighting joe bugner during the montage of bouts that took place between the first frazier fight in 1971 and the first norton fight in 1973 .\nin this movie you can see the story told by the man himself . . . and played by him as well ! following young cassius clay ` s struggle against prejudice and discrimanation from his olympic cold win to the famous rumble in the jungle , the fight against george foreman ! muhammad ali is a natural performer and in this film he is managing not to go overboard ! the best part of the script is that just concentrates itself with hard facts . i ' ll have to say that without ali we would never know about him turning up at sonny liston ` s house at the dead of night to throw insults . . . and that is the advantage of this movie ! it is like some kind of documentary reconstruction\u2026\nthe huge supporting cast includes a lot of fine actors doing little more than bits , though robert duvall stands out as one of ali ' s earlier backers and roger e . mosley is very funny as sonny liston in the film ' s most uproarious sequence\u2014when all sets out to insult the humorless liston into a title bout . ernest borgnine and john marley are staunch as , respectively , the champ ' s trainer , angelo dundee , and his doctor , ferdie pacheco .\nexplores the critical role that miami played in the evolution of one of the most significant cultural figures of our time : muhammad ali ( n\u00e3\u00a9 cassius clay ) .\nlucas has made mention of the film\n633 squadron\ndirected by walter grauman when citing movies that inspired themes or elements in star wars episode iv : a new hope . the\ntrench run\nin a new hope wherein luke flies his x - wing through a\ntrench\non the death star and destroys the ship was inspired , at least in small part , by the finale of 633 squadron , which involves several royal air force planes flying at low level up a fjord against heavy , ground - based anti - aircraft fire , to attack a factory located at the base of a cliff at the canyon ' s end .\na new hope was originally presented in monaural sound in many theatres , though the first - run 70mm prints were some of the earliest wide - release examples of surround sound\u2014something not seen in the commercial cinema since the cinerama and cinemascope experiments of the early 50 ' s .\nunfortunately , the grate covers a chute that leads to a garbage compactor that is also home to a resident dianoga . soon after landing , the creature pulls luke under the surface , but releases him and is scared away when the imperials realize where the heroes escaped to and activate the compactor . as the walls close in on the foursome , luke desperately calls to c - 3po over his comlink asking for the compactor to be shut down . r2 - d2 manages to shut down the compactor just in time , although , amidst the muffled cries of joy over the comlink , c - 3po is briefly convinced that his master and friends have been crushed .\nstar wars ( 1977 ) ( aka star wars episode iv : a new hope ) , 121 minutes , d : george lucas the first of a trilogy of fantasy films by writer / director george lucas , and one of the most financially - successful films of all time , with amazing technological effects . a sci - fi adventure saga\nin a galaxy far , far away\n, quasi - western film , about a galactic battle between good ( the rebel forces ) and evil ( the imperial galactic empire ) . the characters are proto - typical : a young farmboy hero luke skywalker ( mark hamill ) on a desert planet , a villainous , black - garbed sinister lord darth vader ( voice of james earl jones ) - an aide to the leader of the empire grand moff tarkin ( peter cushing ) , a wise jedi knight obi - wan kenobi ( alec guinness ) , daring starship pilot han solo ( harrison ford ) , captured rebel princess leia organa ( carrie fisher ) , a furry wookie and two robotic droids . with two sequels , the empire strikes back ( 1980 ) and return of the jedi ( 1983 ) .\nthe opening title ( the\ntheme from star wars\n, or\nluke ' s theme\n) has been said to resemble john barry ' s theme from born free , but has a similar facade to the opening strains of the 1942 film , king ' s row , scored by erich wolfgang korngold . later john williams themes , such as those from e . t . the extra - terrestrial have been said to bear a resemblance to it . listening to them together , one observes that none is identical to any of the others , but they use many of the same musical intervals to achieve similar , or at least related , emotional effects .\nluke ' s landspeeder races into the town of anchorhead , nearly running over an old woman . luke rushes into tosche station excitedly telling his friends about the battle above their planet . he is overjoyed to be reunited with his friend biggs darklighter who is on planet leave from the academy . deak , windy , camie , fixer and biggs all follow luke outside to see the battle with luke ' s macrobinoculars . the battle appears to have ended and luke ' s friends ridicule him for making it all up . this scene was to come just after r2 - d2 and c - 3po eject from the tantive iv in an escape pod , and before the scene where princess leia is led captive before darth vader . this scene establishes luke ' s difficult relationships with his peers , and gives a picture of life on tatooine . storyline pacing may have been the deciding factor , but it should also be borne in mind that after lucas ' s first screening of the rough cut of star wars in 1977 , a fellow film - maker jokingly accused him of producing\namerican graffiti in space\n. this jibe probably influenced lucas to cut the scenes set in anchorhead . the sequence where luke nearly runs down an old woman was an effects shot that was never completed .\nthe dude ' s 1973 ford gran torino the big lebowski movie ( 1998 ) hollywood series 18 . . .\nwhen asked about the book at the time he signed the contract at random house , muhammad ali said ,\nwriting is fighting .\nyou can say that again .\nat the point he turns pro , muhammad ali takes over his own role in what amounts to a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 of the published facts of his life\u2014his friendship with malcolm x and conversion to the muslim religion , his successes in the ring and then ostracism after he refused induction into the army , followed by his victory before the supreme court and his victory over george foreman in the title fight in zaire .\nthe rebel strike force begins its attack on the death star , as the space station approaches the rebel base on yavin 4 . a group of starfighters assaults a trench on the death star ' s surface to hit the station ' s vulnerable spot before it can destroy the alliance ' s base . during this , most of the rebel craft , including luke ' s friend biggs darklighter , are picked off by imperial fighters led by darth vader . just as vader opens fire on luke from his personal tie advanced fighter , han returns in the millennium falcon and attacks the imperials , resulting in vader ' s ship getting knocked out of the trench . luke , aided by the voice of kenobi and guided by the force , accurately fires two proton torpedoes into a small exhaust port leading to the death star ' s reactor , and the battle station explodes .\nit was a bad joke because a palooka , muhammad ali ain & apos ; t . his biography ,\nthe greatest : my own story ,\nis a splendid action - packed hurricane of a book , which , like george foreman , takes off and runs uphill , goat - like . and it packs the same kind of wallop floyd patterson must have used to knock out ingemar johansson . it is a good old two - fisted country thumping in words ; a bone - crushing , quality thriller that belongs in the same class as autobiographies written by booker t . washington , frederick douglass and james weldon johnson .\nafter fighting a squadron of tie fighters , the millennium falcon meets the rebel alliance on yavin 4 , and the information in r2 - d2 is turned over . general dodonna plans the attack on the death star , an attack so audacious as to receive an unenthusiastic reaction from the pilots . to add to luke ' s dismay , han leaves after receiving his reward .\nfor 17 , 000 credits , 2 , 000 in advance and 15 , 000 upon arrival , smuggler han solo and his first mate , a wookiee named chewbacca , agree to take the four of them to alderaan aboard their ship , the millennium falcon . after brief scuffles with the empire and henchmen sent by jabba the hutt , the falcon escapes the imperial blockade at mos eisley and han sets a course for alderaan , unaware that the planet was about to be mercilessly destroyed by the empire ."]}

[ 21 ]\n\u201cfor the first time since the destruction of pompeii , quintillus aurelius was a free man . \u201d\nthe 1958 horror film curse of the faceless man renewed the popular 1930s mummy legend by having the story originating not from the egyptian tombs and pyramids in the desert but instead from the ruins of pompeii , where a faceless man , known as \u201cthe volcano man , \u201d is mummified in molten lava and turned to stone , only to come to life two thousand years later in order to rescue a woman ( \u201con a rampage for a human bride ! \u201d ) who he believes is the reincarnated love of his life . watch it now on night flight plus .\nedward l . cahn , who is probably most known for directing a number of our gang shorts in the early 40\u2019s , was a pretty prolific b - movie director in the 50\u2019s . one of those b - movie titles is 1958\u2019s curse of the faceless man , which is an awful lot like karl freund\u2019s the mummy .\n( 1959 ) , among many others , does a credible job at telling the story of the faceless mummy , and the acting is remarkably gripping , considering the flatness of some of the material . the faceless man himself is a superb creation , and is the one element in the production that really stands out for its creepiness , particularly in the museum scenes described above .\nwe return to the transport truck , bringing the faceless man to the museum . looking for all the world like some sort of cheap crusty mummy , the faceless man breaks open his crate and rises . standing in the bed of the truck , he reaches through the window and grabs the startled driver by the neck . for his part , the driver emits a scream that sounds like he just spilled scalding hot coffee on his balls .\nthe excavation of pompeii at the beginning of the film : one man with a pick ax digging in the hillside . certainly guaranteed to preserve anything hit .\npolice inspector renaldi - called in to investigate the first strange death , this is the local cop who ultimately deals with the case of the faceless man , though at first he isn\u2019t sure he believes in a walking dead man and thinks a more mundane killer is on the loose .\ncurse of the faceless man is the latest addition to kino lorber\u2019s growing blu - ray collection of 50\u2019s era b - movies . i think kl has knocked most of these releases out of the park and this is yet again another fine looking release . i\u2019m constantly impressed that movies this old made on such small budgets have the necessary materials available to produce great looking blu - rays .\n1 . not to be confused with the blockbuster pbs children ' s classic face of the curseless man . return\nstill a second feature almost 60 years after its first release , curse of the faceless man was shown in august 2016 as the bottom half of a double feature with the 1967 british film it ! at the historic balboa theater in san francisco . it was part of a weeknight horror film series sponsored by the overlook theater website and shown at various theaters around the bay area . [ 16 ]\ncurse of the faceless man isn\u2019t a great movie . maybe not even a good one by most standards . it is , however , a good snippet of the 50\u2019s b - movie that serves as a sunday afternoon treat . plus it\u2019s not available on a great blu - ray . for those reasons it\u2019s worth your time .\nwhen i first started watching curse of the faceless man , i was sure this would be another candidate for movies that need to be overlooked . then it started to veer into that territory of so bad that they become good . the story here is a gladiator killed in the eruption of vesuvius that buried pompeii and an undying love that stretches over nearly two thousand years .\n\u201cvesuvius was reaching its terrible climax of death and destruction , and the strange unreal strength of the stone man drove him on , seeking escape , seeking the water of the cove of the blind fisherman to save his beloved lucilla helena . \u201d\nthey bring the body to a lab , where they conduct chemical tests and x - ray the mummified man and begin to try to understand what\u2019s going on , but then dead bodies with smashed skulls start showing up whenever they\u2019re left alone with the faceless man .\nspeaking of the remains , we now see a truck heading down the road with the words \u201cmuseo di pompeii\u201d on its door . in the back is a large crate containing the body . as the vehicle bounces down the road , the driver blissfully unaware of any danger , the body in the back \u2013 aka the faceless man , begins to stir .\nthe mgm limited edition collection dvd - r of curse of the faceless man is particularly frustrating in that the mgm people have once again fielded a transfer that isn ' t up to minimum format requirements in the current state of home video disc collecting , now that we all have widescreen tv monitors . the transfer is flat , when almost all studio - distributed product in 1958 ( there are exceptions ) was matted to 1 : 85 . with its featureless sets and artless art direction curse of the faceless man doesn ' t come off well un - matted - - the actors and all the relevant action are squeezed into a horizontal area across the center of the frame , and the rest of the image is\ndead space\n. the last image included here is a scan of the title card - - most everything above and below the area covered by the title text was meant to be matted away for theater projection .\nthe strangest aspect of curse of the faceless man is a very unnecessary narration from an uncredited morris ankrum . it literally serves no purpose . he\u2019s telling us exactly what we are watching on screen . it\u2019s not as if time passes and he feels in the gaps or anything . just a really odd choice for narration . maybe cahn didn\u2019t trust the audience all that much ?\n' curse of the faceless man ' is certainly a fun b - movie film from the 1950s . there are zero scares or horror in it , but it ' s good popcorn fun , if you ' re in the mood for this sort of thing . it has a sense of nostalgia of what films used to be like some sixty years ago . the video and audio presentations are both passable and the one extra is worth listening to , if you ' re a fan of the film and of the era . recommended !\ncurse of the faceless man owes much to universal\u2019s mummy films , only instead of an egyptian mummy , we have an ancient roman one ; an etruscan gladiator named quintillus aurelius , who was buried under a mountain of ash in the city of pompeii , when mount vesuvius exploded in ad 79 . unearthed by an archeological excavation ( presumably around 1958 ) , the mummified quintillus is sent to a local museum for study , where he goes on a rampage in search of his lady love\u2013reincarnated as the girlfriend of one of the scientists who is studying him .\ninterested in bringing curse of the faceless man to your school or library ? if you ' d like to have an in - class viewing , on - campus screening , or purchase the dvd for your library ' s collection , please contact estelle grosso at edu @ urltoken or call ( 212 ) 629 - 6880 with your request .\nout at the scene of said accident , we see the truck has crashed into a tree . two guys are hauling away the driver\u2019s body and the faceless man can be seen lying in the dirt nearby , stiff as ever . maria wonders how the accident could have happened . paul notes that the truck is not that badly damaged . he also wonders how the deceased driver sustained a wound to the back of his head . the faceless man is intact and everyone believes that he was thrown from the truck to where he is now laying .\nfor once the volcano erupts at the beginning of the film rather than the end .\n3 . this ' not scary ' assessment of course does not count if curse of the faceless man catches you at a susceptible age . i was six when i saw the film ' s trailer , i think at a screening of man of the west ( i remember only one scene from that , and the red desert color ) . i had no idea what a trailer was , nor that it represented another movie that would soon be shown at the theater . the stone hand reached through the back of the truck and choked the driver , which really impressed me - - my dream - enhanced childhood memory of the scene is much scarier than what happens in the film itself .\nanderson , as the evidence mounts up , is the disbelieving man of science ( amid the italian archeologists with the opposite beliefs . the idea of a two thousand year old petrified body coming to life .\ncurse of the faceless man may also be available with public performance rights ( ppr ) and digital site licensing ( dsl ) for colleges and universities . to purchase the dvd with ppr or dsl , please contact estelle grosso at edu @ urltoken or call ( 212 ) 629 - 6880 . click here to learn more at kino lorber edu .\nwhen the authorities arrive , they find the stone man inert and lifeless and succeed in bringing him to the museum .\n' the curse of the faceless man ' mostly holds up after all these years . for a film that came out in 1958 , it has some decent practical effects and never hides the monster from sight . in fact , you ' ll see this ' faceless man ' quite a bit . but is he cursed ? not really if you ' re into the whole witchcraft realm . this b - movie plays out like a second rate ' mummy ' film where both movies have a covered from head to toe type of monster , killing people and looking for their long lost love .\ncurse of the faceless man gets little respect from today ' s impatient monster fans , but i have to say that it was good enough to pass muster when it was made . the sunset for micro - budget monster fare distributed by major labels was only a year or two away . ed cahn ' s pompeii quickie was just good enough to make the bottom half of a 1958 double bill .\nthe faceless man comes alive , mayhem ensues , and audiences realize that , despite its monotony , the film is still easier to take than paul w . s . anderson ' s 2014 turkey pompeii .\nhe\u2019s likely best known for directing the our gang comedy shorts from 1939 to 1943 , and for weirdo sci - fi and horror b - movies like the film which accompanied curse of the faceless man into theaters on a b - movie double - bill , the other title being the 1958 sci - fi film it ! the terror from beyond space , which is said to have been a big influence on the 1979 ridley scott classic alien .\nthe more important thing for us to ask at this point is this : how did the truck come to stop relatively unscathed ? while paul and the others do not know it , we know how the driver was killed : by the dead guy in the back . so after killing him , did the faceless man hop through the window into the cab and bring the vehicle to a stop ? the truck certainly does not look like it suffered from a high speed impact . the location of the faceless man should also be noted . he is on the ground about half a dozen yards away , but not only is he is almost parallel with the truck , he\u2019s damn near behind it ! if the truck came to a halt by crashing into the tree and the faceless man was still in the back , the impact would have thrown him forward , not to the side and back !\nthe odd situation of curse of the faceless man ( lively idea , poor execution ) brings up the issue of remakes . look up the great science fiction movies of the 1950s and early 1960s and you ' ll find that quite a few of the better - known titles have been remade , some of them twice . very few are improvements over the originals . the central concepts of others have been looted enough times to render a remake redundant . curse belongs in that category of pictures that ought to be remade , because its potential for scares and bizarre imagery wasn ' t exploited the first time around . the idea of a lovesick etruscan shuffling down modern streets in search of his dream girl is too good to pass up . quintilllus may not pass the acceptability test for a prize boyfriend , but one has to admit that he ' s a loyal cuss , and persistent , too . and don ' t forget durable .\nyes , curse goes into that vault in my mind of those films so bad that i love them ( joining plan 9 from outer space and little shop of horrors ) . check out the trailer below :\n' curse of the faceless man ' comes with a brand new transfer in 1080p hdpresented in 1 . 85 : 1 aspect ratio . for being almost sixty years old , this film looks surprisingly good . not only that , this film was made on an extremely low budget in a six day time frame , so the best cameras and talent were definitely not used here .\na team of archeologists \u2014 including dr . carlo fiorillo , an italian ( played by luis van rooten ) and led by dr . paul mallon , an american ( played by richard anderson , who in the 1970s would appear on tv\u2019s \u201cthe six million dollar man\u201d , and \u201cthe bionic woman\u201d \u2014 excavates the perfectly preserved faceless man of stone encased in lava from a site at ancient pompeii .\n\u201cthe house on the fourth hill of pompeii shall fall . its people shall perish , and whatsoever stands between me and what is mine shall perish . i visit the curse upon the until eternity\u2026 the fires of the earth shall consume them . i am the son of etruscan . i will live when the roman is no more . quintillus aurelius . \u201d\nunited artists distributed curse of the faceless man to us theaters . it opened in the uk in november 1958 , receiving an x certificate from the british board of film censors , which\nonly permitted a film to be exhibited to persons over the age of 16\n. the film was released theatrically at unspecified dates in brazil and spain , and also in mexico , where it was distributed by peliculas bank de mexico sa . [ 12 ] [ 13 ] [ 14 ] [ 15 ]\ni still remember watching edward l . cahn\u2019s curse of the faceless man ( 1958 ) as a kid , in the early 80\u2019s , and how much the experience had creeped me out at the time . in particular , the scenes where the faceless mummy rises from its slab in the museum , and slowly marches toward its victims like an unstoppable monolith , left an indelible impression . revisiting the film today as an adult , in kino lorber\u2019s good - looking new blu - ray , does not alas distill quite the same innocent magic , but it is still an effective little monster film , and some of the monster set pieces remain genuinely creepy .\ngerald fried\u2019s tempestuous music score also deserves special mention , particularly the eerie string and percussion moments when the faceless man begins to stir on the slab , which invoke something truly frightening and otherworldly . but the louder parts are effective too , with brass to the fore .\nmeanwhile , dr . emanuel ( felix locher ) translates the etruscan writing found on a bronze brooch that was inside the jewel box . it is a curse placed on his owners by quintillus aurelius , the gladiator who is now a faceless monster , somehow reanimated after 2 , 000 years .\nthe scientists decide to use hypnotism to uncover the faceless man\u2019s secrets . while under hypnosis , she relives aurelius\u2019s last day at pompeii , and narrates for us the backstory about the woman who dismissed the gladiator slave\u2019s love and had him jailed , and how he cursed her .\ninside , quintillus aurelius has found tina\u2019s apartment and in the same fashion as home invasions everywhere , proceeds to smash through the door . this time the racket wakes her and she gets up to investigate . when she spies the faceless man , she lets loose with one of her patented screams to wake the dead\u2026or in this case , annoy the dead as she is already dealing with a recently awoken dead man .\ni watched the curse of the faceless man on a sunday afternoon and it was the perfect setting for a movie of this ilk . something about it gives off a sunday matinee vibe . it\u2019s a short movie , coming in at just 67 minutes , so it\u2019s perfect when you\u2019re looking to kill just an hour or so . it\u2019s not a great movie by any stretch , so another twenty minutes or so would really kill its watch - ability .\ntina enright - this is paul\u2019s fianc\u00e9e , who also seems to be living in italy , despite being an american . she\u2019s a painter , so maybe she\u2019s over there studying art or something . the poor woman soon finds herself the center of the faceless man\u2019s unwanted amorous advances .\nthe faceless man actually has a name : quintillus aurelius , an etruscan gladiator slave who was tortured and sentenced to death for daring to fall in love with a woman he should not have fallen in love with .\nthe next day arrives and we turn our attention again to the griffith park observator\u2026er\u2026the museo di pompeii . dr . emanual drives up and heads inside where he babbles on at length about what they know about quintillus aurelius and theorizing on what enables him to move and why . he even gives paul a bunch of books on alchemy , urging the other man read them . he really is beginning to go out on a limb looking for reasons for the faceless man\u2019s existence . next thing you know , he\u2019ll be talking about thetans and xenu of the galactic confederacy . we should note at this point that the faceless man is restrained on a table with several large straps .\n( which was famously destroyed when the volcano vesuvius erupted in 76 ad ) a workman discovers a cache of gold jewelry along with a stone - encrusted body of a man .\nkino\u2019s new blu - ray release of 1958\u2019s curse of the faceless man is a satisfying 67 - minute diversion into b - movie nostalgia . while the film itself might seem so brief it would fit better on one of those 4 - or - 5 - in - one packs with other monstersploitation cheapies , a fun commentary track and stellar presentation make this an okay single - title buy , especially for any mummy ( or , in this case , pseudo - mummy ) completists .\nrichard anderson , of six million dollar man and bionic woman fame , stars as dr . paul mallon , a medical researcher , and elaine edwards is tina enright , his fiancee / artist , and the focus of the stone man\u2019s affections , what with her being the reincarnation of his long ago love . she begins to have dreams of a man coming for her and starts painting them , a vague looking figure . she eventually adds straps9more about that later ) .\n\u201cif the ghosts of memory exist in time , then the cove of the blind fisherman was alive with ghosts . for this had once been the scene of violent death . \u201d\n\u201cthe dreams in the mind of tina enright returned . baffling dreams that she could not understand . yet , the dreams were very real , for she could see approach of the man of stone , could feel his terrifying presence as he neared the apartment in which she slept . \u201d\nthe man from u . n . c . l . e . thrush authority ( 1964 -

wannabe was after her in the dream .\nthe big selling point for this one is the actual faceless man . this was a small budget movie in the 50\u2019s and they were actual able to create a creature that is pretty creepy at times . layne britton did the makeup effects and did a delightful job . the creature is supposed to look very rock - like and for the most part that is captured . when he moves of course things don\u2019t look as well . you can kind of see that it\u2019s a man in a suit , but all in all i enjoyed it . there are a few moments in the film when the faceless man rises from his slumber that when mixed with the standout score from gerald fried are genuinely creepy . not scary , but creepy .\nwe introduced to a couple of key women who become an interesting part of the story .\n\u201can ancient brooch , yet the mystery of it had survived the ages to make itself felt again in the presence of tina enright . now perhaps the face of the mystery might be solved . \u201d\nentombed for eons and turned to stone , the volcano man of 2 , 000 years ago stalks the earth to claim his woman ! a team of archeologists , led by dr . paul mallon ( richard anderson , tv ' s the six million dollar man and the bionic woman ) excavates a perfectly preserved faceless man of stone encased in lava from a site at ancient pompeii . mallon begins to piece together the history and identity of the stone figure , he uncovers the story of quintillus aurelius , an etruscan gladiator - slave who was tortured and sentenced to death for daring to love a noblewoman , but the eruption of the vesuvius volcano destroyed the city and buried the jailed quintilus aurelius . but when dead bodies with smashed skulls begin to pile up , not only do the scientists believe that the faceless man is still alive , but bent to carrying out his final wish , rescuing his beloved -

rich production , alexander goes to the mat for the film\u2019s bombastic jazz score by gerald fried , which is about as far away from minimalist synths as you can get yet still has an era - appropriate quality that brings out the scares . he also rails against the lameness of trying to make fun of the film \u201cmystery science theater 3000\u201d -

encrusted body is found with a bronze medallion bearing a strange etruscan inscription . carlo fiorillo , italian archaeologist , speculates the robust body may hold some life ; medical researcher paul mallon scoffs at the idea . but people left alone with the seemingly petrified\nfaceless man\nkeep dying of crushed skulls ; and paul ' s artist fianc\u00e9e tina starts having strange visions . . .\nwhen mallon wonders how the creature can see since it is , well , faceless , the curator opines that\nif its mind is intact . . . it can receive images .\nits surfside climax is pure pulp poetry that functions as both a literal dramatization and a romantic evocation of the devastation wrought by the tides of time as they break against the eternal shore of love .\nthey have a harder time explaining why mallon ' s artist girlfriend , tina ( elaine edwards ) , has been having dreams of the stone man pursuing her , even before she hears about the discovery .\n\u201cdr . paul mallon began to feel a deep concern for his fianc\u00e9e , for he was wondering now if the faceless apparition she had painted was an impossibility . \u201d\nultimately , the film\u2019s weakest link is the writing . when the faceless man is unearthed at the start of the film , his hand is already moving . the fact that he is alive is presented as a foregone conclusion , which robs the story of tension , and the audience of discovering the mystery for themselves . tension is further eroded by a pointless expository narration which assails you when you least expect it , during various key and non - key moments . the narration fills no plot gaps , and tells us nothing you couldn\u2019t deduce for yourself by watching the action . these is not huge problems , and lovers of b - movies should find it easy to forgive such hiccups .\nthe narrator\u2019s nightmare begins in earnest in the first chapter , when his grandfather , on his deathbed , gives the narrator an ominous piece of advice . \u201clive with your head in the lion\u2019s mouth , \u201d he says . \u201covercome \u2019em with yeses , undermine \u2019em with grins , agree \u2019em to death and destruction , let \u2019em swoller you till they vomit or bust wide open . \u201d the old man\u2019s words , ellison writes , \u201cwere like a curse . \u201d\n\u201ci recognize no dichotomy between art and protest , \u201d said ralph ellison in his 1955 paris review interview , but it is impossible not to recognize this dichotomy in invisible man . in ellison\u2019s novel , art pauses for protest , which usually takes the form of sermons , speeches , and lectures about race and american history . saul bellow , an early and vocal champion of ellison\u2019s , made the point in a private letter : \u201ci myself distinguish between the parts of the novel that were written and those that were constructed as part of the argument ; they are not alike in quality . \u201d the sections to which bellow refers\u2014the speech of the blind preacher , the narrator\u2019s work for the political group known as the brotherhood , his seduction of sybil\u2014have aged the least gracefully . but invisible man remains a terror . ellison dramatized , as forcefully as any novelist of the last century , stephen dedalus\u2019s vision of history . in invisible man we experience american history as a nightmare . sixty years after the novel\u2019s publication we still haven\u2019t woken up .\nback at the museum , emanual provides the translation . see the screen cap to the left as i am too lazy to type it all out right now . there is a conversation on whether this quintillus aurelius guy actually caused the destruction of pompeii with his curse , but emanual is more interested in the line about outliving the romans . he wonders if \u201cthat thing\u201d is still alive .\nanyway , while this guy snoozes away , we see quintillus in the background , walking down the path in his direction . the dog \u2013 a german shepherd \u2013 sees the faceless man and starts barking . this wakes up mr . snooze , who catches one glimpse of quintillus aurelius and then turns to flee . even more frightening than waking up to see a stone man coming towards you is watching a movie and having it constantly interrupted by an idiot . yep , that\u2019s right . mr . clown is back .\nit will enhance any encyclopedic page you visit with the magic of the wiki 2 technology .\nshadows were used to great effect in most of the film and there are a lot of close -

faced men in the hotel ballroom , reduced to drooling , violent savages . ellison\u2019s hero , like chesterton\u2019s , discovers his own identity through a process of negation . disenchanted and sickened by his experiences in society , he comes to realize the cruel extent of his powerlessness . the only escape available to him appears in the form of a manhole , through which he escapes underground . an invisible man can\u2019t be a college president , a business leader , or a politician . but at least he is spared the indignities of an oppressed class . if you can\u2019t see him , he might be anywhere . he might be everywhere ."]}

unfunny saved ! is every bit as reductive as your average high school underdog fantasy , except it also has a bigger fish to fry than mandy moore\u2019s psycho - bitch : christianity . when mary (

especially in her connection to god . and veronica is ethnic vietnamese who was adopted and thus saved by a black christian couple . a third is tia , who is generally an outsider in her geek status but who aspires to be in this christian clique . also within their social circle solely out of necessity is hilary faye ' s older brother roland , who has been in a wheelchair since age nine after falling out of a tree , and who , out of family obligation hilary faye transports everywhere including to / from school . beyond that transportation , roland and hilary faye generally have disdain for each other . one of hilary faye ' s god driven missions for the year is to save cassandra , a jewish . . .\ngood girl\nmary and her domineering best friend , hilary faye , are starting their senior

she heeds his message to\ndo everything she can to help her boyfriend\nand , to her horror , she ends up pregnant . suddenly , mary begins to question everything she ' s believed in , and hilary faye

petrov was a lieutenant colonel in the soviet union ' s air defense forces , and his job was to monitor his country ' s satellite system , which was looking for any possible nuclear weapons launches by the united states .\nhe was on the overnight shift in the early morning hours of sept . 26 , 1983 , when the computers sounded an alarm , indicating that the u . s . had launched five nuclear - armed intercontinental ballistic missiles .\nthe siren howled , but i just sat there for a few seconds , staring at the big , back - lit , red screen with the word ' launch ' on it ,\npetrov told the bbc in 2013 .\nit was already a moment of extreme tension in the cold war . on sept . 1 of that year , the soviet union shot down a korean air lines plane that had drifted into soviet airspace , killing all 269 people on board , including a u . s . congressman . the episode led the u . s . and the soviets to exchange warnings and threats .\npetrov had to act quickly . u . s . missiles could reach the soviet union in just over 20 minutes .\nthere was no rule about how long we were allowed to think before we reported a strike ,\npetrov told the bbc .\nbut we knew that every second of procrastination took away valuable time , that the soviet union ' s military and political leadership needed to be informed without delay . all i had to do was to reach for the phone ; to raise the direct line to our top commanders \u2014 but i couldn ' t move . i felt like i was sitting on a hot frying pan .\nhe had been trained to expect an all - out nuclear assault from the u . s . , so it seemed strange that the satellite system was detecting only a few missiles being launched . and the system itself was fairly new . he didn ' t completely trust it .\n[ petrov ] just had this feeling in his gut that it wasn ' t right . it was five missiles . it didn ' t seem like enough . so even though by all of the protocols he had been trained to follow , he should absolutely have reported that up the chain of command and , you know , we should be talking about the great nuclear war of 1983 if any of us survived .\nafter several nerve - jangling minutes , petrov didn ' t send the computer warning to his superiors . he checked to see if there had been a computer malfunction .\ntwenty - three minutes later i realized that nothing had happened ,\nhe said in 2013 .\nif there had been a real strike , then i would already know about it . it was such a relief .\nthat episode and the 1962 cuban missile crisis are considered to be the closest the u . s . and the soviets came to a nuclear

or tell his commanders that the soviet union ' s early warning system was faulty .\nuessing that a genuine american attack would have involved hundreds of missiles , he put the alarm down to a computer malfunction .\nlt col petrov was vindicated when an internal investigation following the incident concluded that soviet satellites had mistaken sunlight reflected on clouds for rocket engines .\nthe soviet government\u2019s policy in the event of a us nuclear attack was to launch an immediate and all - out retaliatory strike in accordance with the principle of mutually assured destruction .\nalthough petrov was feted by his colleagues and initially praised by superiors for his actions , he was not rewarded .\nhe later complained that he was scolded by superiors for failing to complete a routine paperwork during the incident and had been scapegoated by generals embarrassed by the failure of the early warning system .\nhe took early retirement from the armed forces the following year and retired outside moscow .\nthe incident was only made public in 1998 with the publication of the memoirs of general yury vontintsev , mr petrov\u2019s superior at the time .\nher government , and brexit , are in meltdown . so why does theresa may seem so calm ?\nwe urge you to turn off your ad blocker for the telegraph website so that you can continue to access our quality content in the future .\nstanislav petrov died in may , but the news only broke after a friend tried calling on this birthday .\nthe man credited with saving the world from nuclear disaster during the cold war has died in moscow aged 77 .\nstanislav petrov was a soviet officer on duty the night of september 26 , 1983 , when an early warning system flashed a warning that the us had launched missiles against the ussr .\npetrov , from a secret command centre outside moscow , could have immediately instigated a retaliation with a phone call .\ninstead , the then 44 - year - old lieutenant colonel trusted his gut , which told him it was it was merely a system malfunction . and after five nerve - wracking minutes , he made a decision that may have prevented a nuclear war .\nhe turned out to be right . the false alarm was apparently triggered when the soviet satellite mistook the sun ' s reflection off the tops of clouds for a missile launch .\npetrov died in may , but the news has only just come out after a german filmmaker tried to call him this month for his birthday .\nexternal link : ' ' i knew perfectly well that nobody would be able to correct my mistake if i had made one ,\npetrov told the bbc .\nit was completely unexpected , as such things usually are . the siren sounded very loudly and i just sat there for a few seconds , staring at the screen with the word\nlaunch\ndisplayed in bold , red letters ,\npetrov told the bbc in 2013 .\ni would not trust the computer . i picked up the telephone handset , spoke to my superiors and reported that the alarm was false .\nthe russian state -

[ laughs . ]\nlike , everyone knows that we all need health care , but not only is it insanely expensive for most people in america , there are so many self - employed people who really struggle when faced with injury and disability and illness . musicians are mostly self - employed , and for me the bottom line is that , as with health care , everyone also knows that we all need music . we need musicians ! we need them healthy - - we need to dance and we need to escape - - and none of that is possible when musicians themselves need support . and that\u2019s really why all of us , not just musicians , need to sustain and grow sweet relief .\nbefore he played lt . commander data on star trek : the next generation , brent spiner appeared on six episodes of night court , from 1985 to 1987 , as a yugoslavian hillbilly named bob wheeler . bob and his wife , june , constantly got into trouble , performing criminal acts like \u201c the illegal detonation of poultry . \u201d\ncg : ten months of writing this script . at first , roger wanted a dramatic picture with all the social issues of the 1960s in it . so , of course , i wrote a telephone book ! i didn\u2019t like it and roger didn\u2019t like it , so he just asked me to do what i would have liked to do . i told him to make it a musical , because the music coming out in 1967 was fantastic . that old rock and roll shit that we hated had now become brilliant , and we could have made a great musical out of it .\nmust read series . i have never laughed so hard that i needed a tissue . there was also some sad tears but the majority of this book was hysterical . i was disappointed with both kaitlyn and derick though , 1 kaitlyn should have walked away from the start and not put up with all dericks shit and how god awful he treated her , 2 derrick changed so much from book 1 to this story in book 2 . he played the part of\nthe rock god - whore\na little to well and did not care who he stepped on to get the attentio\nmy interview with griffith was conducted in august 2004 via telephone . griffith was affable , engaging and always entertaining . we covered almost all of the roger corman pictures in which he was writer , his films as director and other assignments .\ncg : yes . i had just read the silent world by jacques cousteau and found it to be new and exciting . so when that picture came along , i wrote all the underwater stuff and went to roger and told him i\u2019d direct all the underwater parts for $ 100 . he said , \u201cokay . \u201d if i had of just asked , he would have said , \u201cno . \u201d i had to put it in a way that he would jump at .\noooo boy , this was a thrilling ride ! loved the band - all of the characters are stellar ! particularly loved ryan . and shanna makes an appearance in this one and is her ever loving crazy slutty self . but . . . . not loving kaitlyn . the issues she had with derek strayed into whinyville ! yes , i totally understood where she was coming from but good gosh , girl ! get a grip . and derek - needs to grow the hell up ! he is living life like a rock star ! ! and the sexy times - blew my kindle to bits ! ! hella hawt !\na short man has a prominent chip on his shoulder for all bigger people . when two murderers enter a bar and hold everyone at bay including a young fighter and a tough racketeer , the\nlittle guy\nhas a decision to make .\nas a twist should be central to the actual plot , not a nod buried at the end of the movie when half the theater has started to leave , this is barely a twist . a light tangle . hardly . not at all .\n- alexander rae\nalec\nbaldwin iii is an american actor , producer , and comedian . as a member of the baldwin family , he is the oldest of the four baldwin brothers , all well - known actors . . . . more\nrock all night is barely a movie . it ' s only about an hour long and most of that comprises of entertaining but superfluous musical performances . the story feels kind of like an after school special about being yourself and gaining confidence with a tiny bit of inappropriate brutality and death sprinkled in . it ' s not surprising to hear it was based on an episode of a television program . it doesn ' t have much going for it , yet it is a goddamn delight . why ? because dick miller gets top billing . miller is so , so cool in this . young , handsome , full of fire . he spits out insults with such venom and even more charm . corman knows who the star is and allows the camera to bask in his glory . and , despite the film ' s skeletal plot , corman also does a good job building to a fun climax . this is one of the oddest but most endearing of the aip canon . highly recommended .\nthey would pedal west on vanowen or roscoe , where paved suburbs gave way to the rock - strewn hills above canoga park and chatsworth . this terrain was sacred to the chumash , whose lore told of munits , the vanished shaman that haunted its caves . they pointed their wheels downhill in a cloud of dust , hoping speed would turn their schwinn stingrays into dirt bikes .\nafter the performance , guests were invited to partake in a poolside celebration at hard rock hotel\u2019s dish pool . guests enjoyed light bites and libations atop plush daybeds positioned beneath canopied palm trees , as well as special activations presented by lelo \u2013 the world\u2019s leading pleasure brand \u2013 featuring a \u201ctouch and play\u201d area , vip gift bags stuffed with the most desired pleasure objects and more .\ncg : no , it was all phonus balonus . the guru was upset because his subject was jealous or afraid . nothing to do with my original idea . i saw it once in french with no subtitles , but i just hated that picture .\nto get all the way to dragonstone from slaver ' s bay , dany would have to sail right past the dornish capital . it would be an easy stop along the way , and the perfect place to meet up with dany ' s allies .\nthe title of this roger corman flick may be a bit misleading since while there are some songs of popular performers of the day - such as the platters - being performed in it , it ' s mostly a story of various types in a bar facing a confrontation of their fears when dealing with a couple of criminals who wander in with the police on their way . dick miller is the lead who likes to make insulting statements but also seems to know what each person he meets is like to the point he shows no fear whatsoever to whoever he speaks to like one of the criminals he ' s dealing with - the one played by russell johnson , yes , the later star of\ngilligan ' s island\nas the professor . it was quite a surprise seeing him in this role , that ' s for sure ! if you ' re a frequent corman viewer , you probably recognized many of his regular supporting cast here . i really enjoyed this one so on that note , rock all night is highly recommended .\ncatelyn stark may be the best example of all of this , given her many mistakes early on in the story , from capturing tyrion to freeing his brother , jaime . the dominoes that fell because of her actions are too numerous to count in this post .\nsome of it came out better than expected , but to me the dialogue had ruined it . it had symbols all over the place \u2013 the bars that were going around the picket fence at the beginning . i had a rebellious kid on a tricycle taking off and his mother taking him by the collar and driving him home . but no , of course , barboura morris had to turn that into a social comment about how good he was and how he was a poor little thing . this stuff kept happening all through the picture .\ndespite the peculiarity of the theory and lack of major - league anesthetics , trepanation was by no means a limited phenomenon . from the neolithic era to the early 20th century , cultures all over the world used it as a way to cure patients of their ills . doctors eventually phased out the practice as less invasive procedures were developed . average joes , on the other hand , didn ' t all follow suit . trepanation patrons still exist . in fact , they even have their very own organizations , like the international trepanation advocacy group .\ncomposition / lyrics : p . stanley , g . simmons arrangement / guitars / bass / other instruments & programming : 96 - chan vocals / chorus : ninezero original artist : kiss album : dressed to kill ( 1975 ) bpm : 143 length : 1 : 32 movie : \u85e4\u672c \u96c5\u4e4b , \u5927\u77f3 \u667a\u4e00 ( welzanimationstudios ) first music game appearance : guitarfreaks v4 & drummania v4 \u044fock\u00d7rock other music game appearances :\nyou were in bands when you were younger , then you got into remixing , and now you\u2019re back playing live . how is it different being in a band this time ? well it\u2019s a lot more professional . i played all kinds of stuff before : i played in metal bands , wedding bands , jazz trios , most of it just to make ends meet growing up . but now i have basically control over everything \u2019cause i\u2019m writing all the music . so that\u2019s a pretty big difference . when you get four people in a band , especially if it\u2019s not a professional setting , there\u2019s a lot of ego issues . and this is just kind of nice because everybody involved knows their place . we\u2019re all just trying to have fun and play music . it certainly helps that we\u2019re playing big shows now .\nabout magic mike live : magic mike live las vegas is an all - new , first - class entertainment experience based on the hit films magic mike and magic mike xxl . the show recreates the mythic club domina as a cabaret nightclub space inside the hard rock hotel & casino that has been fully redesigned to capture the magnetism of the magic mike franchise . the state - of - the - art venue is designed with the capabilities to house a show that features thirteen of the hottest and most talented men in the country performing in front of , behind , above and all around the audience . conceived by channing tatum and co - directed by tatum and film franchise choreographer alison faulk , the show features sexy and daring themed dance and strip routines punctuated by one of a kind acts from a wildly diverse cast of performers . magic mike live las vegas is a sizzling 360 degree dance and acrobatic strip tease spectacular guaranteed to bring on the heat .\nthe girls in the office , including beverly gray and frances doel , sat around and made up the funniest thing i ever heard . i don\u2019t remember a word of it now , but when we took it to roger he hit the sealing . again with the \u201cthis is a hard - hitting picture ! \u201d so that was it . when paul went to shoot it , i didn\u2019t envy him ; all the gags were cut . but he did make some gags up on the spot , a hand grenade , you know \u2013 all that stuff .\nliz makes the staff work on valentine ' s day all night long . while liz gets flowers and she doesn ' t know who send them to her , pete forgets about the valentine ' s day , which is also his wife ' s birthday . jack meets with bianca to make their divorce final . to celebrate that he is divorced , jack goes with tracy into a bar , but tracy has to leave because he wants to spend time with his wife . jenna has got the feeling that frank doesn ' t like her , which turns out to be true when he tells her so . meanwhile , the staff tries to talk kenneth into hooking up with cerie .\ncg : naked paradise was made at the same time i was working at columbia , which would have been 1957 - 58 . that was a bobby campbell story that i re - wrote . it became a structure for a few films afterwards including atlas [ corman , 1961 ] , beast from haunted cave [ monte hellman , 1960 ] and creature from the haunted sea [ corman , 1961 ] . they were all basically naked paradise \u2013 all variations on that same structure , almost scene - by - scene , but with different dialogue and different characters .\nhow did did you get put on to electronic music ? my first real introduction was definitely discovery , the daft punk record . in what was that , 2001 or something like that ? or even before that , the first daft punk record with \u201caround the world\u201d on it . that was the first electronic song i was really into . i grew up in portugal , so electronic music was kind of like the mainstream and rock music was really kind of an afterthought for most people . i was very much into the underground rock stuff , which probably in the u . s . was mainstream , but for me that was my rebellion . fast - forward many years , and we started getting offers to dj . we were almost forced to dive into it because it was almost a practical thing : i needed to learn about all this music that people were playing and i needed to also be able to play it , because you can\u2019t really dj with rock music . so that\u2019s really when i dove into it , and it inevitably began bleeding into my own music . especially after djing , i had an appreciation for electronic music that i didn\u2019t have before ; i started djing at clubs more and that kind of setting is really the perfect outlet for it . it\u2019s completely valid and can be very creative but it was so completely foreign to me because i was growing up writing beatles - type songs . it didn\u2019t follow that format that i was used to so it forced me to really re - think everything and try new stuff .\nspielberg got his start directing for tv at the age of 21 , helming episodes of such shows as night gallery and marcus welby , m . d . but the aspiring filmmaker was desperately searching for a property he could turn into a feature film . it was spielberg ' s secretary , nona tyson , who found matheson\u2019s story in playboy and first sent it to her boss to potentially adapt into a movie .\nit was made for $ 30 , 000 and roger had to sell his jaguar . i think i got $ 100 bucks for that . he picked up a girl in berlin and she was the script girl , wardrobe and props \u2013 all kinds of things . i became associate producer because i was there . he really made this with his own money . i found out we couldn\u2019t shoot in the locations we picked , so we had to bribe guards at the gates to let us into all these antiquities . it was hilarious . but it did make its money back .\nfollowing the show , the cast and creative team returned to the stage for an encore performance of fatman scoop\u2019s \u201cbe faithful , \u201d joined by the show\u2019s co - director and producer channing tatum and wife , jenna dewan - tatum . tatum then shared a few words with the packed venue , thanking the crowd and friends and family in attendance for joining the cast and creative team for their highly - anticipated opening night performance .\npeter lorre\u2019s character drinking his mint julep through a cigar , the gold bug playing the harpsichord and inviting people in classic postures or the famous statue like the one - armed bandit that they had to be in when the bug bit them and turned them into gold \u2013 all so much fun .\nand before you show up in the comments talking about how there ' s magical white walkers and dragons and this is a fantasy so i should stop worrying about all this , no . no that ' s just wrong . what made the books and the early seasons of this show so great was the fact that there ' s an internal logic , an internal consistency that holds the world together . human conflicts born out of human actions . plausible characters making the best choices they could even when they were wrong . all the fantasy trappings add flavor without disrupting the realism of the story itself ."]}

' the typical format for the festival is that the director is introduced to say a few words before the film begins . it was painful from the beginning to see that there was no director to introduce the film , since adrienne had passed away . so the producer and adrienne ' s husband andy talked about how it had been adrienne ' s dream to have a film at sundance . it was very poignant . '\n\u201d on the back of its success . that film\u2019s journey to the screen , however , would not be as straightforward , to put it mildly .\nimagine if you were a fledgling pop star how tiresome it would be if you were constantly asked about your more famous brother . but andy yorke , 26 , younger brother of thom yorke , doesn ' t worry about being compared : ' unbelievable truth are sufficiently different from radiohead , ' says yorke . ' there ' s no way i ' d try and compete as thom ' s a genius .

a doll - like fatalist on whom male characters could project their apocalyptic fantasies . the year after the unbelievable truth was released , hartley wrote trust , his best film , with shelly in mind . his directions were so minimalistic ( ' less , less , less : i don ' t want to see anything on your face at all ' ) , she later said that she sometimes wanted to kill him . but she absorbed his auteurism wholeheartedly .\nin 1945 , overseen by alfred hitchcock , a crack team of british film - makers went to germany to document the horror of the concentration camps . despite being hailed as a masterpiece , the film was never shown . now , in a documentary called night will fall , the full story of its creation and suppression is being told\nvaran is often considered by many kaiju fans to be one of toho ' s weakest films . one common criticism from fans stems from the film ' s story , claiming that it ' s a generic monster movie story , while other toho kaiju and science - fiction films involved more complex and interesting stories . the film is still popular for introducing the monster varan , who has only appeared in a cameo appearance and several non - film media since .\nhartley was a beneficiary of that initial enthusiasm . his debut , the unbelievable truth , launched him as one of us cinema ' s most intelligent film - makers . he claims not to have paid much attention to what everyone was saying about him .\nnever underestimate the weirdness of being young and having people writing about you everywhere , whether they ' re saying you ' re a smart guy or an asshole . and i had plenty of both .\nby the time flirt vanished without a trace , hartley had lost his position in the independent scene , a situation unaltered even by the compelling henry fool , which won the best screenplay prize at cannes . it has been an effort simply tracking down his subsequent films , such as his monster movie no such thing , which was recut by its producer , francis coppola .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\n\u2013 which called the film a \u201cpovvo safari for middle -

feature hot streak , from the unbelievable truth to amateur ( 1994 ) , came to an end . hartley wonders if his commercial falling - off was down to the independent scene being cramped by the same market forces that drive the studios .\nearly on , there was interest in the films , and a gratitude for some alternative to the dominant product ,\nhe reflects .\nthe distributors got desperate . they realised that any one of these little films could be a hit like jim jarmusch ' s stranger than paradise . they ended up buying lots of things that didn ' t do so well , and the hunger for a hit became overwhelming .\neducation appeared in a professional production of annie while still at high school . studied film production at boston university but dropped out after a year .\nwhat\u2019s it about : a ship fire and a mass murder leave behind one witness , fast -

spinners that we thought about adding in included \u201c four weddings and a funeral \u201d and \u201c saw , \u201d though they feel a bit like outliers in the sundance canon .\nas gay - themed cinema goes , truth definitely veers towards the exploitative side . this psychological thriller presents a portrait of a relationship gone very , very wrong . but its hitchcockian aspirations are sabotaged by a tendency towards lurid melodrama that is more laughable than chilling . cult status at midnight screenings possibly looms if audiences can be persuaded to repeat chunks of the inane dialogue .\nand even as it has showcased these talents , sundance has been symbiotically affected by many of them too , basking in the halo effect of its association with some of the most respected film professionals working today , even as the image of the ideal \u201csundance film\u201d has changed over the years . so what we have here is not a list of the biggest films the festival has ever produced , nor even the best , but simply an eclectic selection of 25 films that we judge to be quintessentially \u201csundance , \u201d in that their fortunes were materially altered by their exposure at the festival , and they , in their turn , further defined our idea of what the sundance film festival is all about .\nnew york indie star adrienne shelly had everything to live for : her husband , young daughter , and a brilliant movie she ' d just directed and starred in . why , then , would she hang herself in her shower ? in fact , she was murdered . as the film , waitress , is released , we report on her tragic death - and the remarkable success of the film she left behind\nclinton , for her part , flatly denies saying anything about the film in her one - on - one with the families . on dec . 30 , 2015 , new hampshire\u2019s conway daily sun asked her about the allegation that she lied to the families .\nhal hartley ' s\nthe unbelievable truth\nis another example of that strange mixture of melodrama and irony that david lynch has popularized with\ntwin peaks .\nthe approach involves inventing a real world of ordinary people , and then filling it with bizarre and mysterious events . something is being made fun of - but is it the reality , or the fantasy ? the movie takes place in a small town on long island where a young woman named audry ( adrienne shelly ) restlessly confronts the end of her adolescence . her boyfriend is so earnest and sincere it ' s hard to believe he believes himself . her father , who runs the local auto repair shop , loves her but has strong opinions about what is right and wrong for her . he is not pleased when audry gets a crush on an older man - a stranger , new in town , who has just hired on at the garage .\nhow was it received at the time ? \u201cpi\u201d was a surprising $ 1 million purchase by artisan . most critics were impressed but guarded , and certainly circumspect when it came to the film\u2019s box office potential : owen gleiberman claimed it looked \u201clike the ultimate college masterpiece , \u201d while richard corliss preferred to discuss director aronofsky himself , claiming he was a \u201cgenuine experimenter . \u201d ultimately the film pulled in a little more than $ 3 million at the worldwide box office .\nis it worth the hype ? an unreserved yes . marsh stated he was attracted to the film because he viewed it as a heist movie , and that element of thrillerish excitement is certainly there . however the film is also a terrifically moving look at friendship and the toll that one man\u2019s tunnel - visioned drive and talent can take on his relationships , as well as a portrait of a truly extraordinary , but not always likeable , man .\nhow was it received at the time ? \u201cblood simple\u201d was the deserved grand prize winner at sundance , and the film earned the coens worldwide attention , grossing a little under $ 4 million\u2014at the time strong numbers for an independent release . in his four - star review , roger ebert praised its economy , saying it is a film in which \u201ceverything that happens seems necessary . \u201d how big did it get ? though not as oft - quoted or deeply beloved as some of the coens\u2019 other films , \u201cblood simple\u201d is considered a touchstone of eighties independent cinema . it was also the debut of cinematographer barry sonnenfeld , who went on to essay the \u201c men in black \u201d films . the young lady in the lead is frances mcdormand in her first role : she later won an oscar for a coen brothers film , \u201c fargo . \u201d in the late nineties , the coens supervised a \u201cdirector\u2019s cut\u201d that shortened the film by three minutes , allowing the picture\u2019s reputation to grow . it\u2019s also , as far as we know , the sole coens film to spawn a chinese - language remake ( albeit a loose one ) : acclaimed filmmaker zhang yimou later tackled the material in his sumptuous comedy , \u201c a woman , a gun and a noodle shop . \u201d\npart of the reasoning for that memo , singer argues , is that the british thought the germans needed to be nurtured as allies against the growing power of the soviet union . but were such compunctions realistic ? would showing the film to postwar germany have been a propaganda reverse for the british , serving to alienate the germans and tip the emerging cold war in the soviets\u2019 favour ? singer doubts it .\nscott weinberg is a film writer and critic who has written for outlets such as playboy , fearnet , nerdist , and many others . he tweets @ scotteweinberg but ignores mean people .\nbertie himself is also romanticized . he is seen presciently raising the question of german aggression before the invasion of the sudetenland . edward waves off bertie\u2019s warning , and , the next time we are instructed to focus on political questions , the king is heroically rallying his people to the battle against fascism . the film leaves out what happened in the intervening period .\nin a critically and commercially disappointing year for the film industry , one of the few highlights has been the reception given to the king\u2019s speech . the movie has been nominated for just about every existing award , and a bevy of oscar nominations are forthcoming . the period drama is also on its way to financial success .\ninto the gap left in 1945 by the suppression of bernstein\u2019s film came another documentary , made by the great hollywood director and exiled austrian jew billy wilder . but wilder\u2019s death mills was a hectoring piece of propaganda , keen to indict germans , while bernstein and crossman had attempted to make their film a warning to all of humanity . \u201cbernstein\u2019s was a work of art by comparison , \u201d says singer , \u201cmainly because of crossman\u2019s lyrical script . \u201d\nmany years later , steven spielberg chose lustig , by then a film - maker , to be a producer for schindler\u2019s list . lustig has a theory about why british authorities suppressed bernstein\u2019s film . \u201cat this time , the brits had enough problems with the jews . \u201d by that , no doubt , he means that britain was dealing with zionists agitating for a jewish homeland in the british mandate of palestine \u2013 and seeing the full extent of jewish suffering would only inflame them .\nin this lyrically offbeat fable , hartley , the most godardian of american indies , takes the audience to familiar - looking yet utterly strange places , like working class long island , where his bizarrely charming romance takes place ; still his best film .\nthe film ' s other unfortunate excess is christopher cooke ' s overacting as audry ' s father . he seems to yell and take a bite out of every line he has . but these flaws stand out because the rest of the film is so deft . mark bailey , as another of vic ' s mechanics , creates a perfectly affable clod . ' ' so , why ' dja kill pearl ' s father ? ' ' he asks josh one day while sitting around the garage .\n, crown added newly - filmed footage of a western actor , myron healy , and made the plot focus on him . the film ' s story was changed drastically , revolving around an american military officer overseeing a chemical test in a lake on an island . varan is never referred to by name in the film , only called\nobaki ,\nand his roar is completely changed . the scene of varan gliding from the cliff is removed , and close - up shots of varan ' s claws are added .\nhow was it received at the time ? while some critics found the air of stillman \u2019s milieu just too rarefied , most received the film warmly , especially its fearless wordiness , with roger ebert identifying it as \u201cdialogue\u2026in which the characters discuss ideas and feelings instead of simply marching through plot points as most hollywood characters do\u201d and \u201ca film about people covering their own insecurities with a facade of social ease . \u201d how big did it get ? stillman\u2019s debut followed what has now become a fairly well - trodden path for sundance breakouts : despite not picking up a distribution deal there immediately , the film rode its crest of sundance buzz to an academy award nomination ( for screenplay ) and an independent spirit award for best first feature , before new line picked it up the day before the director left for a triumphant run during cannes \u2018 directors\u2019 fortnight . in the years since , the film\u2019s stature has only grown as it launched stillman\u2019s uniquely ironic but warm , f . scott fitzgerald - style take on the foibles and flaws of the indolent , overeducated upper - classes .\nin one piece of film , from majdanek concentration camp , we see huge bags containing human hair . collected from the murdered , it would have been carefully sorted and weighed . \u201cnothing was wasted , \u201d says the narrator . \u201ceven teeth were taken out of their mouth . \u201d bernstein\u2019s film then cuts to a large pile of spectacles . \u201cif one man in 10 wears spectacles , \u201d we are asked , \u201chow many does this heap represent ? \u201d\nthe situation for disabled , sick or broke people claiming welfare is unbelievable in this country , which is perhaps why it\u2019s so difficult for us \u2013 or for some watching loach\u2019s portrayal of the cruel system \u2013 to believe it at all . at best , it\u2019s because we would prefer to close our eyes to a system that we hope we never have to grapple with . at worst , it\u2019s because we don\u2019t believe people when they say they cannot work , and demonise them as \u201cshirkers\u201d or \u201cscroungers\u201d .\nwhile most of ad - pt was closed down , the network abc was still active . in 1958 , they had been collaborating with toho on a tv movie called varan , monster from the east . varan was originally planned to air on american television , but this fell through . toho set up a japanese theatrical release date , added new scenes , deleted old scenes , and cropped the video to be released in theaters . it was later released in the united states in 1962 under the title varan , the unbelievable . varan was a black - and - white film , since it was meant for tv , while toho had been making color kaiju films ever since rodan in 1956 . 47 years later in 2005 , toho and tokyo shock released varan on dvd in japan and the united states , including the unreleased television version in both releases .\nwhat it\u2019s about : derek cianfrance \u2019s heartbreaking film examines , through temporally juxtaposed editing , the relationship between cindy ( michelle williams ) and dean ( ryan gosling ) from their first encounter , through the blush of love , marriage and parenthood , right up to the relationship\u2019s dissolution .\nis it worth the hype ? if ever a film risked being overshadowed by the hype , it\u2019s this one . it\u2019s a sweet , slight , charming but fairly insubstantial romance with some lovely music , but to hear some of the initial reactions , you\u2019d think it was curing cancer . with a few years\u2019 gap\u2014even given the stage version\u2014it probably holds up a bit better : hansard and irglova are immensely appealing leads , and there\u2019s a swooning and tragic romanticism to the film that leaves a lump in the throat , even if it risks being pat in places .\nhow was it received at the time ? after a very positive response at sundance and reviews that saw \u201c scrubs \u201d star braff repeatedly referred to as a \u201ctriple threat , \u201d the film landed a joint distribution deal between heavy hitters fox searchlight and miramax .\nno matter . the film , which some have called a forgotten masterpiece of british documentary , was shelved for 70 years . bernstein died in 1993 and , according to singer , one of his regrets was not completing his holocaust documentary .\nmost people would point to the sixth sense as m . night shyamalan ' s cleverest plot twist , but for my money that prize goes to the man ' s masterpiece , unbreakable , and a wildly inventive finale that i simply didn ' t see coming . bruce willis stars as a man who slowly begins to realize he has superhuman powers . he befriends a comic - book expert with a strange disease ( his bones are very brittle ) , and eventually has to accept the truth . it certainly does seem that he ' s a superhero who cannot be injured - - and that ' s when he learns the truth about his new friend :\nmr . glass\n( samuel l . jackson ) is actually an evil terrorist , as well as our reluctant hero ' s newfound arch - nemesis . i can still remember that supremely satisfying little\nclick\nthat occurred inside my brain when this twist showed up and i finally saw the puzzle mr . shyamalan had constructed .\nhow was it received at the time ? against perhaps not the most competitive lineup sundance has ever seen , \u201cman on wire\u201d really ruled the roost , picking up both the audience award and the grand jury prize for documentary , the first time a non - u . s . film managed that double . magnolia picked it up for u . s . release .\nsinger says he\u2019s already had flak for including lustig\u2019s theory . \u201cwhy the film was scuppered is not very well documented , \u201d he says . \u201cbut branko may well have a point . \u201d singer points out that in 1945 , the incoming labour government\u2019s foreign secretary , ernest bevin , was anti - zionist and unsympathetic to the foundation of a jewish state . but he concedes there is no strong proof . \u201cthe only documentary evidence we have is a memo from the foreign office saying that screening such an \u2018atrocity film\u2019 would not be a good idea . \u201d\nfootage from his unfinished film , however , proved key to the prosecution of camp commandants at the nuremberg and l\u00fcneburg trials in 1945 . anita lasker - wallfisch recalls testifying at l\u00fcneburg against , among others , bergen - belsen commandant josef kramer , known as \u201cthe beast of belsen\u201d . her evidence was supported by film that contradicted the accused\u2019s defence . \u201ckramer had said he didn\u2019t have the food to feed his prisoners and that was why they were in such a state . the footage destroyed that , \u201d says singer . kramer and other officers from bergen - belsen were hanged that year .\nthe opening of lucy shows scenes of cell division and prehistoric wildlife intercut with the eponymous heroine being forced into ferrying drugs . initially , it seems a little out of place , but more than an hour later besson ties it all things together .\ni wanted to de - structure the storytelling , because i wanted the people to be ready at the end to believe something unbelievable ,\nbesson says .\nif i was too straightforward , without cheetahs , without cells , without anything , it would be like a thriller and then the end would be weird . so i needed to prep the audience from the beginning , like ' you have to be ready for everything .

the film brought in nearly $ 3 million domestically , which is hardly astounding , but it did go on to have a very successful dvd release . more important , though , was the film\u2019s critical domination of that year\u2019s conversation\u2014it was all over most critics\u2019 year - end lists and went on to scoop the academy award for best documentary and the equivalent at the independent spirit awards , along with the bafta for best british film . and though we set little store by rt ordinarily , it is remarkable that its rotten tomatoes review score is holding at an unheard - of 100 % to this day . it also launched the more prolific period of james marsh\u2019s career , allowing him to work more continually across narrative ( \u201c red riding , \u201d \u201c shadow dancer \u201d ) and documentary ( \u201c project nim \u201d ) ever since .\nthe film tells the story of king george vi ( colin firth ) and his battle with a speech impediment . bertie , as he was known , seeks the help of a speech therapist ( played by geoffrey rush ) , and the two spend most of the film\u2014differences in social status be damned\u2014bonding . by the time the credits roll , bertie has conquered his stammer , and the british people are well on their way to vanquishing fascism\u2014the latter , naturally , having been aided by the former , thanks to an inspiring royal address from buckingham palace after the german invasion of poland . this heartwarming tale plays out predictably and unsubtly\u2014 the king\u2019s speech is one of those films that is not content to show us a friendship developing over two hours ; no , the characters must also tell us how much the friendship means to them .\nthere are a few more true tidbits in the film for science buffs , though . like , for example , the fact that lucy is named after the skeleton of the australopithecus afarensis found in 1974 that is our most famous early human ancestor . wired got on the phone with besson to ask him about neuroscience and some of lucy ' s other secrets .\nso begins a british film about the holocaust that was abandoned and shelved for 70 years because it was deemed too politically sensitive . the smell came from the dead , their bodies burned or rotting ; or from malnourished , often disease - ridden prisoners in the concentration camp of bergen - belsen , near all those thriving german farms .\ncharles woods , father of cia operative tyrone woods , told talk show host glenn beck on oct . 25 , 2012 , that clinton said to him ,\nwe will make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted .\nbernstein assembled a remarkable team , including the future labour cabinet minister richard crossman , who wrote the film\u2019s lyrical script , and alfred hitchcock , who flew in from hollywood to advise bernstein on its structure . they set to work on a documentary entitled german concentration camps factual survey . as they worked , reels of film kept arriving , sent by british , american and soviet combat and newsreel cameramen from 11 camps , including auschwitz , buchenwald , dachau and bergen - belsen . as well as the dead , the footage showed starved survivors and human remains in ovens .\nlike stephen frears\u2019s film from 2006 , the queen \u2014which won helen mirren an oscar for her eponymous performance\u2014 the king\u2019s speech is a testament to americans\u2019 continuing fascination with the british royal family . but , unlike the queen , which was merely simplistic in its portrayal of the monarchy , the king\u2019s speech is historically inaccurate , entirely misleading , and , in its own small way , morally dubious .\nclever indy film - making at it ' s best ! ! ! this film jump started a genre . hal hartley ' s masterpiece brims with clever dialogue and funny performances . adrianne shelley is a standout as audrey who is convinced that the world is soon to blow up . chris cooke should be getting a lot more work after his winning performance as vic hugo . he ' s a delight to watch as his daughter audrey bargains with him on about going to college . and robert burke is great as the quiet josh , the returning man with a past . you catch something new every time with this film . . . like the funny way everyone fights in the movie ( elaborate pushing matches ) . an original film and thoroughly enjoyable . great soundtrack too . . . under hal hartley ' s alias of ned rifle . highly recommended . . . and definitely more than worth than 50\u00a2 at your video rental and won ' t put you to sleep if you like original , clever , landmark indy films like this one is .\nis it worth the hype ? the cautionary tale of \u201cwunderkind\u201d richard kelly \u2019s subsequent career aside , the film itself remains a fantastic mindfuck , a wonderfully enigmatic eerie - toned puzzle box featuring a role for gyllenhaal that more or less defined his twitchy , soulful intelligence . just avoid the director\u2019s cut where possible and stick with the tighter and more confident theatrical version .\nit takes a lot of guts to put the nature of your huge plot twist in the title of your film , but that ' s precisely what david fincher did for his third feature . at the beginning of the dark misadventure that anchors the film , nicholas van orton ( michael douglas ) runs afoul of an elaborate role - playing\ngame\nscam , finds himself running for his life , accidentally kills his brother , and tries to commit suicide - - only to discover that , yes , after all that , it was still just a game . just like it says in the title . kudos to the amusingly wacky screenplay for telling us the twist at the outset and then twisting and turning all over the place .\nnot only is this a brilliant piece of old - school haunted - house filmmaking , but alejandro amenabar ' s work boasts a highly satisfying twist ending that feels like a natural progression of the plot - - not merely a surprising diversion . nicole kidman plays the exceedingly protective mother of two small children who seem to have a biological aversion to sunlight . after a while it becomes evident that the family ' s wonderfully spooky mansion has been beset by unhappy spirits of some sort - - but once our heroine delves into the mystery , she learns that horrible truth : she and her children are the spirits !\nhow big did it get ? the film\u2019s international release the following year saw it recoup its budget , but it was really on dvd that it made its money ( $ 10 million , reportedly ) . meanwhile its status as a cult film was growing , seeing it play extended midnight screening runs and gain in reputation to the point that kelly got to release a director\u2019s cut in 2004 , which no longer had the studio - mandated 2 - hour restriction . as a cultural artifact , the film also had a major impact , launching kelly to prodigy status ( he was only 26 years old when he wrote and directed \u201cdonnie darko\u201d ) , making a breakout leftfield star of jake gyllenhaal , and even seeing the world lose its shit for michael andrews \u2019 cover of tears for fears \u2019 \u201c mad world \u201d which became the spookily iconic centerpiece of its popular 80s - inflected soundtrack ."]}

evaluate the narrative and the characters therein . at its best , it can make a great film better , and at its worst , it can sink even the very best efforts . these films vary in quality ; some are terrible from the outset , some are ok , and some are great , at least until the twist comes along and completely derails things . some of these instances were clearly directors trying too hard to shock us , and in others , apparently not trying hard enough . here are the 10 worst movie plot twists of all time . . .\nthe father of the bride was mad as hell about the expense of the wedding that came out of his pocket . the groom has since moved on with his own life , discovering the woman he was going to marry had cheated on him the night before their wedding made him break it off . he hasn ' t gotten married but i hear he ' s dating someone and it looks serious enough they may get married soon . the bride has been having problems trying to get the respect of her family back after that stunt . she once tried to talk to me when i was single to see if we could go out . i told her flat out i had no interest in dating a woman who cheats like she does . we ' ve not spoken since , much to my relief .\nhow the fuck did a manage to come up with the massive amount of money needed to fund all of her schemes ? it\u2019s revealed the cece / charles / charlotte ( i\u2019ll get to this later ) is actually a , but the only job a / cece seems to have throughout the show is a retail job at some nameless boutique . bitch is working minimum wage and after taxes , rent , and credit card debt ( i assume , look at that wardrobe ) she still manages to somehow have enough money to spend on underground bunkers and medical benefits for her a gang ? like , is russia funding this too ? ? marlene king , i demand answers .\n[ 5 ] one of the most risque representations for women filmmakers who want to avoid the objectification of women is the filming of erotic scenes , particularly in this case , with lesbian undertones . bemberg undertakes a major task in i , the worst of all when she includes two of such scenes in her movie . historians and literary critics have discussed whether juana ines de la cruz and the vicereine had a relationship that crossed the boundaries of female friendship , and this issue is still debated by some . ( click here for an audio clip of audrey gibbs reading a poem of sor juana and discussing the lesbian issue and also see the use of lesbianism as a marketing strategy and a video by audrey gibbs and nicole robertson about that . ) the only historical evidence are juana ' s passionate love poems that she wrote for the vicereine . bemberg undertakes the representation of this relationship , and she manages to let the viewer make up her own mind as to whether the two women had more than friendly feelings for each other . one of the two scenes in particular is worth analyzing in order to emphasize how the director manages to avoid the objectification of women .\niceland , liechtenstein , norway and switzerland are members of efta with varying relationships , which allows full access to the

concerned to hear that your all inclusive holidays fell so short of your expectations . we do encourage constructive criticism and take all comments under serious consideration , however i feel your rating of the hotel is mainly judged on services that are not part of the package you booked and were never promised as such . the standard all inclusive package runs till 23 . 30 , this is clearly stated in our ai description on every channel that the eden roc is bookable on . there is a package available should you wish to extend the hours , which among other inclusions provides more drink and cocktail options , in room minibar and bottled water and use of the champagne bar . i was surprised to read that you were not informed about our dress code before hand and that you felt sorry for other guests , since all 3rd parties selling the hotel are requested to highlight this in their descriptions and we do clearly state our dress code on our booking confirmation email and our own website . we find that most guests appreciate the existence of a dress code during dinner . please be assured that your comments regarding the incidents with our restaurant and waiting staff have been acknowledged , i sincerely apologise for these and will personally make sure these issues are immediately addressed . thank you once again for your comments and and i hope we do get another chance in

brilliant and the rooms always cleaned properly . the animation team did their best with what they had and the pools and beach were very nice . the bad points : - the rude russian guests who played the game of piling their food up as high as they could and then not eating it . they also thought nothing of being completely rude to staff , banging keys on bar tops and trying to push their way in front of others . one guy felt my wrath for stealing towels from the booth where you change towels . i had had enough of their repulsive manner and behaviour as had many other guests . i put up with no nonsense from them and i suggest you do the same , that way they might learn to stop being bullies . the bars smelt of a putrid egg sulphur smell and even though we were on all inclusive plus , there were such stupid rules on bar opening times . as i went in august the temperatures were around 38 degrees at times , to wait until they decide to open the bar was ridiculous . its not worth the

in the way money and beautiful women and fast cars look more exciting than good police work . the screenplay , by dick wolf , is subtle in the way it develops its temptations for sweeney . he is seduced by sheen ' s style and flash . and sheen creates his character as a very complicated young man . true , he ' s rich , and doesn ' t need to steal and kill . but like the members of that billionaire boy ' s club out in los angeles , he is attracted to risk . and eventually he gets way in over his head .\nyou ' re not going native , are you ?\nhe asks . he ' s right ; the kid hasn ' t been on the force long enough to develop good police instincts , and he falls under the influence of the charismatic sheen . that leads him into a no man ' s land , halfway between the criminals and the law , and as he tries to do the right thing and juggle his conflicting loyalties , a tragic situation begins to develop .\nno man ' s land [ import ] : urltoken charlie sheen , d . b . sweeney , lara harris , randy quaid , bill duke , r . d . call , arlen dean snyder , m . emmet walsh , al shannon , bernie pock , kenny endoso , james f . kelly , peter werner , dick wolf , jack behr , joseph stern , ron howard , sandy kroopf , tony ganz : dvd\nant -

the giant walks , the giant eats out of control , the giant beats and breaks you down , with all your might\nwhen you hear that there is a mysterious creature in a canadian lake , you can\u2019t help thinking of the loch ness monster . ( and then we discover that director , john henderson , directed loch ness . ) almost immediately , we learn that this creature , mee - shee is benevolent and saves a helicopter pilot and passenger from drowning .\nthe odd geographical genesis seems an attempt to simultaneously tap as many funding bodies as possible while avoiding child labour laws . though the script mentions disney repeatedly there ' s no actual involvement from the mouse , though jim henson ' s creature workshop provides the monster . it is wasted in this film . the script makes much of the fact that mee - shee has\nbig eyes\n, and while they are large on the monster they are subsumed within its elephantine face , concealed by narrow , seemingly vengeful eyelids . any need for suspension of disbelief is lost because the rest of the film is so bad .\nbefore joel tobeck appears in the new water horse movie , he is a mean greenpeace member that is trying to delay drilling in a canadian lake , and then trying to capture mee - shee for profit . the absolute beauty of british columbia comes forth in stunning beauty on my new tv , and i don ' t even have the hi - def hooked up yet . i really wanted something to show me what i can expect , and i certainly wasn ' t disappointed . bruce greenwood ( double jeopardy , i ' m not there ) cancels a vacation with his son to find a drill bit . daniel magder plays the son , who discovers magic in the water in the form of a strange looking creature . it is a slow moving picture notable not for action , but for beauty . luanne gordon ( king kong ) manages to be the impetus for greenwood to decide to slow his life down and enjoy the beauty of bc .\nin this gentle tale of boy befriends creature , the legend of the loch ness monster is transposed to the lakes of the canadian outback .\nthe order of the phoenix is formulaic and lacking in depth , and does not make the most of the intensity in the fifth instalment of jk rowling ' s epic story .\nthe everyday lives of the people frequenting the frenetic accident and emergency department of holby city hospital . more \u00bb\nas usual in the films though not in the original legends , the water critters live in a cave , this time beneath the castle , where the cast gets to interact with muppetry that this time isn ' t even slightly well done . pet the big muppet ! it won ' t bite , pet it ! the cavern scenes in all these films allows for indoor soundstage work . has nothing to do with being logical or a story well told .\nstrolling back and forth , watching the waves wet the tips of my toes , i wondered why i ' d invested so much into this crazy dream . was the captain of duck tours right ? was i merely looking for my own jobless , childlike reflection in the water ? could i be the monster ? then , as the surf washed over me , my quest was once again justified : i had been offered a hunk of the leviathan ' s flesh .\ni enjoyed mee - shee , except when the lame and talentless child actor called it mishee . you ' d think he ' d be able to pronounce the name of the movie correctly but , honestly , he is so bad maybe that ' s not something he can do . loved bruce greenwood , as always . and as usual , he it too good for the material and his poker - faced co - star . ( the new zealand scenery , filling in for canada , makes me crazy to want to go there . ) whenever i see a child actor this bad i always wonder which of the producers he belongs to . the kid never changed expression , even when facing down a water\nmonster ,\nas far as he knows . i really recommend everybody see this film just so they can catch probably the worst child actor ever . the little dude didn ' t even try . this could have been much better without the kid who played the kid .\nthe family gets to squat down in the cavern & gaze up in wonder . then the camera cuts to the lake creature ' s puppyish sweet face . eventually the kids even hug the unyielding plastic prop with the barely mechanical eyeball . surprisingly enough , the acting ain ' t bad & the kids are especially effective in their performances , but the earnestness of hugging a plastic head with a crappy robot eye just made the goofiness goofier .\namong the greatest films of the 1980s , but not scorsese ' s best .\nthe muppet meeshees are nice enough looking though not well integrated with the human characters . there ' s way too much\ncut to mee - shees\nsort of editing reminiscent of old jungle movies when people point & look intensely all in the same direction , then cut to some group of animals from south america .\nmee - shee is a decent film . the great part about this movie is it opens the minds of people again about lochness , nessie , and champ and the probability that perhaps there is a creature out there while adding some efforts and hints to protect not neccesarily\nsea monsters\nbut all aquatic animals that may be on the verge of extinction . the actors are not magnificent but there not too bad either . the little boy and girl probably could of done better , but they were okay for there ages . the film takes the legend of a sea monster to the extreme and goes a little to far at times , but it ' s a nice movie for kids to watch . my nephew really enjoyed it and that was enough for me too .\nlocal productions released this year include the dark horse , the dead lands , housebound and what we do in the shadows .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nparents need to know that although this movie is geared toward kids , it does include some frightening scenes where the titular water creature attacks the movie ' s two villains and destroys their submarine with a flick of its tail ; it ' s understood that both men don ' t survive . also , these two villains are quite dangerous and don ' t seem to care about harming others who get in their way . they kidnap a boy , vandalize property , attack a boat full of people with a grenade launcher , and harpoon the monster . the movie also touches on a boy ' s loss of his mother , establishing that she died two years earlier and her death still affects both father and son . finally , mee - shee is essentially a friendly monster , but it may appear scary at first to younger kids .\nsent to find lost drilling equipment , oil company employee sean cambell ( bruce greenwood ) and his young son mac ( daniel madger ) hit the water . what follows is a formulaic family movie involving money - grabbing bad guys and an aquatic beast - part dolphin , part dinosaur , part oap - saving the day .\nwe go to the thames and find out what the fuck is going on , for we are the woke generation . we are generation truth . we must have the answers .\non closer inspection , the flesh had a dense , sponge - like texture . fascinating but what is a discarded piece of flesh when you have no host ? yes , it 100 percent belonged to the sea monster captured on camera , but how could i prove it ? desperate to go one step further , i rushed over to my toolkit and cast my rod into the water once again .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\nthe cinematography is in general bland , losing an opportunity with the canadian wilderness . the script per se is just unimaginably badly written . still , due to the presence of good - enough kid actors & the muppetiness of the smily - walrus - creature , little kids are going to love\nwe don ' t get the usual indian shaman or shamenness for local color because it ' s scotland , but we do get a scottish crackpot\nwater bailiff\n( ian holm ) who knows what he knows . it has the requisit child ( kirstey graham ) , single male ( danson ) , & love interest ( joley richardson ) . it is in general better acted than the script merits .\npoor casting , intermittent periods where the film treads water with overlong pictures of the scenery , and a lack of anyone in the cast to empathise with , render this a dreary experience . edited with no sense of timing and with unmemorable music laid on with a trowel , the performances are unable to engage or sustain one ' s attention . the biggest drawback is that there is nobody one likes - the hero is the american equivalent of a shop dummy in a cecil gee window , the son is blank faced except when he is petulant . custer is inscrutable and a boring character . the villains are cardboard cutouts , and the mad woman of the hills is alarming and repellent . custer ' s daughter is the only bright spark in the film , and acts everyone else off the screen , not that that was hard to do . the henson creature shop shut up shop in london shortly after this film was made ; maybe they had lost heart when they saw it . one to miss .\nhe has been on the streets of buenos aires , argentina and wellington , new zealand , operating the honey monster , the mascot of the famous breakfast cereal , sugar puffs . he was on the beach at copacabana in rio operating\nsnuggles the bear\nfor america ' s\nsnuggles fabric softener\n, the suburbs of vancouver , operating the baby rockchewer for\nthe neverending story iii\n, or a secret location outside stockholm , sweden , for\nabba - the last video\n.\nfilm director james cameron said the offered rebates , coupled with the local workforce and skills was a major incentive for basing the films in new zealand .\ncommon sense is the nation ' s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information , education , and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century .\nthe premise of mac campbell ' s character is based on a neglected child who has lost his mother recently . his dad ( bruce greenwood ) has unintentionally ignored his son by burying himself in work after his wife died and has decided to make it up to mac by taking him to a theme park . the boy is devastated to find out that his dad ' s plans have changed as a result of an emergency trip to canada . mac , played by daniel magder plays an angry , somewhat stoic , curious , brave yet emotional young man . i believe he pulled it off beautifully . in fact he adds a touch of humor to his character in a non funny situation when speaking under his breath about pawnee , his new found friend . my kids have seen him in\nlife with derek\nas\nedwin\nand he portrays a totally different type of character showing his versatility . ( they ' ve coaxed me into watching a few episodes ) . mee - she the water giant is great for kids but i think it could have been simplified for the benefit of the younger viewers . that being said , i recommend renting it or purchasing the film . i purchased the film and my kids have seen it many times .\nafter many aborted attempts , sean campbell ( bruce greenwood ) has finally cleared his relentlessly busy schedule to take his son , mac ( daniel magder ) , on an oft - delayed trip to disney world . unfortunately , his bosses at arctic oil have other ideas . it seems that a helicopter carrying an extremely valuable drill bit has crashed into a remote canadian lake and that sean is the only person who can recover it . mac , who believes his father places more importance on his work than on his son , is very unhappy about trading in mickey and goofy for a backwoods town with little to offer a young boy . things change dramatically , however , when mac not only hears tales of a mysterious lake monster named mee - shee but actually stumbles upon his hiding place in a secluded cavern . mac is enormously excited , but none of the adults take him seriously . this includes his father , whose attempt to retrieve the equipment is being foiled by the evil watkins ( charles mesure ) and his henchman , mr . snead ( joel tobeck ) , who work for a rival oil company and will stop at nothing to retrieve the drill bit for themselves . things don ' t look good for sean on either a personal or professional level - - until mee - shee manages to change all that .\nconfirmation of that incentive came with the announcement that the three avatar sequels would be made in new zealand .\nscattered moments of rawness aside , the master of the spiritual crisis directs an unbalanced and uncharacteristically unconvincing melodrama .\ngood for fans of the director but perhaps too heavy going for an afternoon in front of the television .\nhaving made the film loch ness 10 years ago , geordie director john henderson has to look further afield for this sort - of - sequel about a boy ( daniel magder ) who stumbles upon a mythical beastie in a canadian lake . brought to life by jim henson\u2019s creature shop , this seal - like critter is the undisputed star of this wholesome homily to valuing family and respecting nature . sadly , he\u2019s not on screen enough to excuse a witless treasure - hunt plot involving a missing , er , drill bit . with new zealand filling in none too convincingly for ontario and performances so stiff they make the animatronic mee - shee look like brando , this is pretty wishee - washee .\nbut , this is a genial story of a father ( bruce greenwood ) bonding with his son ( daniel megdar ) and the son bonding , with the help of a young indian girl , with the creature . there are some genial folks at the lake : the local indian , custer , with a sardonic sense of humour , the owner of a dredge on the lake , an attractive female environmental inspector , and the largish , jovial assistant to the father . there is also mrs coogan ( phyllida law ) as the strict but genial housekeeper .\nthough the similarities are in actuality due to both films ' utter lack of imagination resulting in pretty close to the exact same story developed in the exact same way .\nin this padded out family movie , even the scenes above the lake ' s surface feel a bit wet .\nthe air was bleak and crisp underneath the glass fortress of canary wharf . despite the cold , stormy weather , i wasn ' t surprised to see my comrades out , waiting at the side of the river , deeply inhaling cigarettes and hoping to catch a glimpse of the beast . i noticed one man staring intently at his phone .\nproducer barrie osborne noted new zealand ' s screen incentives when announcing the movie would be shot around the country .\nms mcsweeney said that had helped with the sustainability of the local industry and more co -

drilling bit has crashed in a remote canadian lake . the drilling company sends their small - submarine specialist ( who brings his son ) to recover the item . while there , the boy encounters an elusive local resident of the lake . in the midst of all this , a rival drilling company is trying to sabotage the recovery efforts . . . and the story progresses from there . there ' s nothing really special about the plot and the kid -

was it really just an accident ?\namnesia is not an easy literary row to hoe . beloved by cheap tv drama , it\u2019s a device certain to cue groans and eye - rolls from jaded readers . yet lockhart just about manages to pull it off , thanks to the freshness of the writing and the razor - sharp metaphor amnesia provides for the sinclair family habit of denial .\ncadence returns to the island after two years to try to reconstruct what happened on the night of the accident . for reasons that frustrate her ( and the reader ) , but which will eventually be explained , not a single witness will talk . the story jumps back and forth in time , interspersing her edgy , idiomatic narrative with a series of powerful twisted fairy tales . slowly , painstakingly , cadence pieces together the events of that terrible night . despite a final chapter that hints at redemption , it is not the sort of disaster from which she will ever recover .\ni enjoyed lockhart\u2019s pithy observations , the intimate shorthand , the snappy characterizations of wasp families . they populated my youth on martha\u2019s vineyard and at harvard , flawlessly confident , angst - free and clean in their izod shirts and lily pulitzer dresses , inspiring curiosity and wonder in generations of messy , overemotional jews . who are they ? what are they really like ?\nthe flaw in \u201cwe were liars\u201d is that we never find out . cadence\u2019s story emerges from deep within this troubled family \u2014 and yet the aunts , teenagers , littles and golden retrievers form a largely undifferentiated mass . careless , grasping and obsessed with keeping up appearances , they casually wreck one another\u2019s lives , but we never discover why . even the liars are a featureless bunch . cadence repeatedly announces that johnny is \u201cbounce , effort and snark , \u201d that mirren is \u201csugar , curiosity and rain , \u201d that gat is \u201ccontemplation and enthusiasm . ambition and strong coffee . \u201d these are nice descriptions , but some genuine characterization wouldn\u2019t go amiss . their fates seem as distant as the fates of the princesses in cadence\u2019s fairy tales . they are there to offer a moral , not to elicit sympathy or understanding .\nthis is an ambitious novel with an engaging voice , a clever plot and some terrific writing . in the end , however , its portrayal of a shattered family and the desperate consequences of silence and greed , feels oddly flat . i couldn\u2019t help thinking that the terrible fate of the sinclair family might as well be happening to a collection of fairy tale characters . or to those preppy models in the ralph lauren ads . did i care how they lived or died ?

( 3 )\ni have remarked before that anger ' s work falls either into the mystic camp or the homoerotic camp . this is firmly in the latter , with fireworks as a fairly blatant metaphor for sexual expression ( which both a euphemism and not ) . it ' s worth it for the eye candy , if that ' s your thing , and it ' s , of course , impressive to see this kind of imagery in 1947 .\nthe claim that this was made in 1947 feels like an elaborate hoax - this thing is decades ahead of it ' s time , that is , if we ' ve even caught up with it today . homoerotic is perhaps too subtle a term . anger is a genius .\nno other picture could so perfectly initiate the film career of such a brilliant , complicated , ego - maniacal , queer wizard .\nara osterweil is a painter , a film scholar , and an associate professor of cultural studies at mcgill university in montreal . she is the author of flesh cinema : the corporeal turn in american avant -

garde .\nnot everyone was so discouraging . in 1949 , anger submitted fireworks to the festival du film maudit in biarritz , and his filmmaker hero jean cocteau awarded it the poetic film prize . cocteau then wrote to the young director expressing his admiration for the work , which persuaded anger to move to paris . in 1950 , he took cocteau\u2019s advice . he found a job at the cin\u00e9math\u00e8que fran\u00e7aise as an assistant to henri langlois and remained in france for a decade . while there , fireworks was exhibited at several european festivals , where it was better received than it had been in the states . of course , european audiences had not only experienced the war and its ravaging of innocence firsthand but had witnessed the transformation of the representation of adolescence in the various national cinemas that emerged from the rubble .\nka : i ' ve had everything from large spaces to smaller , experimental ones . i met bertolt brecht with charles laughton in the very same theatre where fireworks was first shown , at the coronet film society . this is a theatre that seats about 300 , an intimate theatre , but it ' s perfect for showing experimental kinds of films . it really was a place where you met all sorts of people . james whale - - the director of frankenstein - - came , and dr . kinsey . dr . alfred kinsey was there and he invited me to do one of his famous interviews for his book on human sexual behavior , and he also said he wanted to buy a print of fireworks for the collection at the kinsey institute , which was the first time i sold a print of my film .\nin closing , i would like to point out the remarkable synthesis anger achieves in bringing together the nocturnal longings of a gay teenage boy ( and a sense of the cultural climate of the 1940s america he inhabits ) and the work of cocteau , a companion soul the film openly acknowledges . in fireworks , anger melds together a lampoon of american culture and authority and his life - long obsessions with lucifer \u2013 and his play with light \u2013 into a work which explores the inextinguishable flames of youth and eros . he also made a film which is aware of its own context in the history of avant - garde cinema .\nkenneth anger ( b . 1930 , santa monica , usa ) is one of the greatest and most notorious living american avant - garde filmmakers . drawn to cinema , glamour and scandal early on \u2013 his grandmother worked in hollywood as a dresser and he knew shirley temple from school dances \u2013 he made his first film of note , fireworks ( 1947 ) , at the age of 17 . it set the mold for his later oeuvre , silent films of intense sensual imagery combined with mesmerizing musical soundtracks . a follower of necromancer aleister crowley , anger describes his lifework as being \u201cmagick\u201d . his films may be seen as cinematic manifestations of his occult practices , appealing directly to the subconscious mind . anger also wrote hollywood babylon . his filmography includes puce moment ( 1949 ) , inauguration of the pleasure dome ( 1954 ) , kustom kar kommandos ( 1965 ) , rabbit\u2019s moon ( 1972 ) and lucifer rising ( 1980 ) .\nlike alice in wonderland and the wizard of oz , fireworks pivots on a dream : an \u201cinnocent\u201d young protagonist falls asleep and dreams up a world of desires too dangerous to be acknowledged in waking life . in most hollywood dream films , viewers are immersed in the screen\u2019s wonders until the end of the film , when they are yanked abruptly from its fantasy mode and assured that all they have witnessed was \u201cjust a dream . \u201d with this return to reality , what might be called queer desire is once again repressed , along with the vital contradictions between public and private life that such dreams engender . yet when anger\u2019s character awakens at the end of fireworks , he discovers that evidentiary traces of his fantasy have permeated his waking life .\nfireworks also screened alongside curtis harrington \u2019s 1946 experimental film fragment of seeking at rudolph and pauline schindler \u2019s famous kings road house around 1948 . john cage and merce cunningham were in attendance , as were other radical artists and intellectuals . the screening did not go well : cage apparently told anger and harrington that their films had \u201c nothing to do with art . \u201d 13 according to anger , mrs . schindler called the filmmakers a week later to tell them that they were both \u201cvery sick young men . \u201d 14\n] in fireworks , i released all the explosive pyrotechnics of a dream . inflammable desires dampened by day under the cold water of consciousness are ignited that night by the libertarian matches of sleep , and burst forth in showers of shimmering incandescence . these imaginary displays provide a temporary relief .\nin addition to demonstrating an affinity with avant - garde filmmakers in america , anger\u2019s fireworks also shows a great deal of international \u2018cine - savvy\u2019 through its homages to french filmmaker jean cocteau , particularly his classic experimental work le sang d\u2019un po\u00e8te ( 1930 ) . this can be seen in both films\u2019 use of baroque set design , while the strange artifact hanging from the protagonist\u2019s ceiling in fireworks is a direct quotation of the multiple wire sculptures which are so important to cocteau\u2019s film . apart from similar set design and decoration , the films share a concern with youthful angst and the usually concomitant social repression of sexuality . in both films , this angst finds an outlet in the form of extreme acts of gory violence . the films likewise share a dream - like structure in which their respective protagonists search for some kind of spiritual and sexual fulfillment . it is no wonder that cocteau would become such a fervent admirer of anger\u2019s work , as fireworks shows that anger was also a big fan of cocteau , and was obsessed with many of the same formal and thematic concerns as the french cin\u00e9aste .\nemerging simultaneously in the immediate aftermath of world war ii , both fireworks and italian neorealism reimagine adolescence through a dark glass , rendering lingering notions of juvenile innocence obsolete . the children in these films are not passive figures but knowing subjects whose keen understanding emerges from the circumstances of their precarity . squired by war , neorealism \u2019s queer children have complex political agency , perverse desires , sadomasochistic proclivities , and a penchant for navigating the broken world through what stockton calls \u201csideways\u201d forms of growth . 18 they also , like anger\u2019s alter ego in fireworks , tend to mediate encounters between national identity and ethnic and racial otherness .\n10 . mick brown , \u201c kenneth anger : where the bodies are buried , \u201d esquire , january 3 , 2014 , urltoken culture / news / a5483 / kenneth -

film , \u201d in italian neorealism and global cinema , ed . laura e . ruberto and kristi m . wilson ( detroit : wayne state university press , 2007 ) , 28 .\nac : let me ask you a\nthematic\nquestion about some of your works . i ' m thinking of rabbit ' s moon and fireworks but also the babylon books , where in all of them there ' s an almost relentless , sped - up pace . that ' s certainly true of the babylon books ; you can get through them really quickly . . .\nka : well , that he was a poet in many fields - - among them film - - that he was fascinated with and was able to work with . he started in 1930 with blood of a poet . and i was fortunate enough to meet him when i went to europe . he was on the jury at a festival where i sent fireworks . he wrote me a letter saying that he liked it , so i decided i had to meet him the next year , in 1950 . i stayed [ in paris ] 12 years . i was fortunate for an american to find a job almost immediately . i worked for 12 years for henri langlois at the cin\u00e9matheque fran\u00e7aise and had a very close relationship with him .\nka : well , i had a good crowd the last time i was in austin . i suppose it will be perhaps some of the art community , maybe some film students and then the groups that are interested in aleister crowley , on which i ' m an expert ; there ' s a little clan there ( in austin ) .\nthe climax of the film is signified by the liquefaction of the dreamer\u2019s body in milky ejaculate . poured from above , cream flows over the man\u2019s mouth , throat , and chest . we see a quick shot of anger lying nude on the floor of a public urinal and then another image of the door marked gents . a lone sailor with a bulging erection cuts a heroic figure , but when he lights the phallus protruding from his fly , it turns out to be a roman candle that showers fireworks . anger\u2019s character reemerges , wearing a gilded christmas tree on his head , awkwardly positioned for penetration . as the tree is consumed by fire , photos of the earlier piet\u00e0 scene ignite , destroying the dream\u2019s archive of queerness . the distinction between fantasy and reality bends as we see anger , sleeping again in his room , alongside a shirtless man whose visage is erased in an explosion of painted white rays intended to obscure the actor\u2019s identity . the film ends with a false image of reparation , as the severed fingers of the plaster hand are reattached only to bid a fond \u201cfuck you\u201d to the audience .\nka : i ' ve never made a film using dialogue or speech , so this will be quite a departure for me . i ' ve planned several projects using speech but never have actually done them , mostly because of the tremendous cost to make them . my films up to now have been silent with musical accompaniment . this will be quite different .\nka : this is my host ' s idea , because , actually , it ' s kind of a surprise for me . i think he ' s going to have the balcony arranged in some kind of decor echoing my film inauguration of the pleasure dome , which already inspired . . . did you see pillow talk with rock hudson and doris day ?\nthis eruption of violent , sexualized conflict between dominant and marginalized forms of masculinity had a profound impact on anger . as he has acknowledged , the zoot - suit riots served as an artistic and sexual awakening . not only did these disturbances spark \u201chis fascination with the image of the sailor , \u201d 29 they helped to forge an erotic , masochistic identification with america\u2019s racialized others . although the racial dynamics that inspired the film are nowhere in evidence in its whitewashed cast of characters , fireworks uses a fantasy of being beaten to dramatize the radical implications of anger\u2019s growing sense of identification with those mexicans and african americans who were beaten in the streets and vilified by the media . for anger , the zoot - suit riots served as a primal scene for the emergence of a sexual identity in opposition to heteronormative conceptions of masculinity .\nthe articulation of postwar queer identity was , as fireworks suggests , inextricable from the prohibitions against it . victimized in an incident of police entrapment , 30 anger recognized the kindred plight of the oppressed zoot suiters while simultaneously perceiving shadows of his own desires in the rioters\u2019 mutual attraction and hostility . putting his own body in the place of the abjected mexicans and african americans , anger fantasizes his violation by a gang of sailors . inviting punishment and then exhibiting his own metaphoric castration by the sailors , the filmmaker offered his adolescent body up as a sacrifice to a social order that was as inimical to queers as it was to americans of color . yet by staging his own surrender to the crushing forces of homophobia in what is essentially his coming - out film , anger constructed an image of his selfhood in the very terms of its destruction .\nanger began making films in 1937 , when he was ten . he used his family\u2019s 16 - mm kodak movie camera and the end scraps of their home - movie reels ; the spring load on the camera allowed him to shoot for only thirty seconds at a time . by the time he made the fifteen - minute fireworks , anger had a bell & howell camera that operated at 24 fps . 4 he shot the film in his family\u2019s home in beverly hills over the course of three nights while his parents were away . his production materials were modest . shooting on stock supposedly stolen from the us navy , 5 anger transformed his family home into a hotbed of \u201cinflammable desires\u201d with the help of a large canvas depicting a saloon that he had lifted from the abandoned set of a western . a scene in which anger appears nude on the floor of a public urinal was shot on location in the public men\u2019s room of olive hill park while a friend kept watch outside . 6\nborn in santa monica and raised in beverly hills , anger stitched his self - image from the dream stuff of hollywood . it should thus come as no surprise that fact and fantasy bleed in his biography , as they do in his famously incendiary book of gossip , hollywood babylon ( 1959 ) . anger\u2019s beloved grandmother was , according to the filmmaker , a costume mistress during the silent film era . 2 supposedly it was she , working with max reinhardt , who got young kenneth a role in the famed austrian - born theater director\u2019s 1935 cinematic adaptation of a midsummer night\u2019s dream : anger claims to have appeared as the changeling prince . but while hollywood was bursting with child actors in the 1930s\u0097anger danced with shirley temple at the santa monica cotillion and went to high school with her stand - in , with whom he collaborated on an early film 3 \u0097child auteurs were a far more singular breed .\n( 34 m ) 5th studio mirror :\nand about the sky\nberlin : outdoors for film . hans albers speaks with rubble women . director joseph von b\u00e1ky brings to recording hans albers . hans albers sits down on a chair , large , and is melted . he eats bread and look at in the mirror , large . intake valve . hans albers climbs ladder . cameraman swings with camera . joseph by leanna in stage directions , great .\non the other side of the door , anger\u2019s double meets a contemptuous muscle queen who taunts him by assuming a variety of poses that might have been lifted from the pages of vim or your physique . rebuffed for asking for a light , anger is slapped silly and then offered , in one of the film\u2019s visual puns , a bundle of blazing sticks . it\u2019s a lame joke , but one that would have resonated with any viewer who had ever been called a faggot .\na wordless film , save for a voice - over introducing us to the imagery of dreams . a shirtless young man dreams of awakening to finds photographs of a muscular sailor carrying him in his arms . he goes to a bar where the sailor from his dream displays his muscular upper torso . a gang of sailors , swinging chains , enters menacingly . he watches , smoking . they surround him and an assault begins . surreal touches accent the dream - like qualities . a phallic firework , a flaming christmas tree , and the burning photographs provide climax and closure as the young man , back in bed , is beside the sailor .\nka : yes , it ' s been about 10 years or so . i spent some time at the hrc [ ut ' s humanities research center ] collection , looking at the film collections . the gloria swanson collection is there , and i looked at that . i hope i ' ll be able to consult some of the things there . i don ' t think they have any zanuck material , because zanuck was my neighbor here in palm springs and his estate is just around the corner . i live in the al jolson estate , in al jolson ' s last house . but i think the zanuck material has ended up in wahoo , nebraska , in his birth house . i ' ve got quite a few zanuck things . he was a wild game hunter and i have some of the pieces that he shot .\nafter a momentary respite , the young man turns around only to encounter a menacing group of sailors swinging chains and clubs . again , reality punctures fiction : the gang members were played by authentic american sailors who were studying to be cameramen at the university of southern california . 22 they approach and attack him . blood erupts from the young man\u2019s nose as he is beaten mercilessly . upside - down close - ups of his face show the man in an agony easily mistaken for ecstasy . in one of the film\u2019s many unsubtle references to ejaculation , a bottle of milk shatters beside him . the young man\u2019s chest is pierced with broken glass and we see gruesome shots of the man\u2019s eviscerated chest cavity . we glimpse a wavering electrometer buried in the mess . refusing to provide a sentimental image of a dead queer child , anger provides an image of an eviscerated body that is actually a machine . erotically charged by his own annihilation , he supplants the hypocrisy of the american dream with this vision of nihilistic ecstasy .\nbut if his films are subversive , that aesthetic hasn ' t hindered numerous\nborrowings ,\nwhich , as he alludes to in this interview , are both bane and potential boon to anger . the kitsch , irony , and montage editing of anger ' s best - known work , scorpio rising ( 1964 ) , is indeed replicated by today ' s unknowing generation of mtv filmmakers , as anger is only too aware . anger describes his sacrilegious 30 - minute tribute to the myth of the american motorcyclist as\nthe power machine seen as a tribal totem , from toy to terror . . . thanatos in chrome and black leather and bursting jeans .\nscorpio is a catalogue , an iconography of the eternality of the american tough and his depiction in film , and ends with what , in anger logic , is the result of all that adulation : an orgiastic rite . if anger ' s summary reads somewhat enigmatic and mystical , understand that that ' s no mistake on his part . in addition to being an avant - garde filmmaker , anger is an occultist . as any good supplicant of the notorious english magus aleister crowley should be , anger has proved to be his own best experiment or invention .\ninterracial , intergenerational encounters figure prominently in neorealist cinema . in paisan ( 1946 ) , the second film in roberto rossellini \u2019s wartime trilogy , a drunken african american soldier named joe meets pasquale , a young neapolitan urchin . when we first see him , joe longs to go home , only to recall , suddenly and bitterly , that the home to which he wishes to return is racially segregated america . throughout paisan , the characters speak different languages and thus fail to understand one another . nonetheless , pasquale recognizes ( though does not fully comprehend ) the social implications of joe \u2019s blackness . he takes advantage of joe \u2019s inebriated state , \u201cbuying\u201d him from fellow street kids . later , when joe falls asleep , pasquale steals his boots . apprehending the child thief on a subsequent day , joe demands the return of his boots and takes the child \u201chome\u201d to retrieve them . yet when joe witnesses the squalid cave in which the orphaned child dwells with dozens of other homeless neapolitans , he leaves without his boots and without any further retributive justice . despite their ethnic and racial differences , joe and pasquale come to recognize each other as kindred . such cross - cultural identifications became the basis for many of the intergenerational intimacies in postwar cinema .\nwandering a devastated world in which the normative structures of civilization are overturned , neo - realism\u2019s children are often confronted with erotic energies that have run rampant . in the third film of rossellini\u2019s trilogy , germany year zero ( 1948 ) , the shattering of a young boy\u2019s innocence serves as a metaphor for the ruined topos of bombed - out berlin . wandering around the city hustling for money , edmund and his environment are posed as phenomenological equivalents . edmund succumbs to the pedophilic seductions of a former teacher , a nazi whose musings on survival of the fittest are taken literally by the boy , who then begins plotting his aging father\u2019s death . after being rebuffed and abandoned by his exploiter , the boy is broken , and his undoing proves fatal . edmund has been so tragically queered by money , war , and nazism that he relinquishes the future he has been denied , and throws himself off a building . nearly simultaneously , but worlds away , an ( allegedly ) teenage kenneth anger embraces the erasure of his own future by celebrating his ecstatic submission to violence . whereas edmund\u2019s suicide is an act of desperation so melancholic that it is hard to imagine the future of childhood in its wake , anger eroticizes his own nullification , fashioning a queer mode of survival . what might these queer boys have to say to each other across the ocean of their desires ?\nkenneth anger , who will be in austin this halloween weekend , is a premier figure of american avant - garde cinema . legendary as an underground filmmaker , anger prefers to regard himself as a maker of magick , albeit one who uses the camera as his medium to the occult . born around 1930 ( the year varies slightly by source ) , anger ( an adopted name ) grew up in santa monica , california . he started making his own movies at a young age in 1941 with who has been rocking my dream boat ? and numerous other shorts , all of which were later destroyed by the filmmaker ' s own hand . while still a child , anger appeared ( uncredited ) in max reinhardt ' s visually lush hollywood feature a midsummer night ' s dream ( 1935 ) and he also partnered with shirley temple at dance school cotillions . anger ' s fascination with hollywood ' s early decades has remained constant , as seen in his two tell - all , slash - and - burn hollywood babylon volumes , virtual picture books chronicling the seamier , more lurid details of the lives and deaths of hollywood past .\naustin chronicle : i think the first order of business is finding out what you ' ve been up to lately .\nkenneth anger : well , i have a book i ' m working on [ hollywood babylon 3 ] and i ' ve done two of them , so that is an ongoing project and i expect to have it done soon , at least that is my hope .\nka : yes . i made it over one weekend . i wish i could still do that .\nka : well , they ' re picture books and they ' re almost like movies because i ' m very visually oriented . the pictures are certainly as important as the text and there ' s a lot of jokes and surprises as you turn pages . you find illustrations that may not seem to go with the text .\nka : yes , he certainly is one of my influences . he was much more than a filmmaker ; he didn ' t get into filmmaking until middle age . but he was a child prodigy poet and did very experimental work and choreographed for dance and was involved in so many things .\nac : well maybe i should be more specific - - what i ' m asking about is this kind of thread that runs throughout your career of returning to previous works and doing revisions and i just wanted to hear a bit more . . .\nka : no , this will be a departure for me , but i use ritual in my other films , sometimes in a humorous way , sometimes quite serious . in fact , i admire cocteau for that because you never know when he ' s kidding and when he ' s serious , and i admire that .\nka : yeah , i have a water buffalo that he shot ; i ' ve got pictures of him shooting . i ' m not much into blood sports , but these things came my way when his daughter moved away from palm springs , these things she didn ' t really want in her new house . she said i could have them .\nac : if i could switch gears again to hollywood babylon - - i guess for lack of a better term , currently there ' s a\ngossip industry .\ni mean there are tabloid shows , of course there are tabloid papers . is hollywood babylon in any way a forerunner of this phenomenon ?\nka : well , of course it was , i mean i sort of made a lot of these kind of tabloid gossip papers and things if not respectable at least legitimate . but frankly my interest is more in hollywood ' s past than its present .\nka : well , i go up to the o . j . case and the hugh grants and all those things but , basically , i treat them with a certain contempt . the glamour is just not there for me with the current crop . i mean some of them are good actors and so forth ; i just can ' t get very excited about them .\nac : now tell me about this event called the\nre - inauguration of the pleasure dome\nthat ' s supposed to take place when you come .\nac : well i guess you know that will be one of the panel topics when you come to town - - the influence of the avant garde on mainstream cinema .\nka : well , of course , people steal from me and it doesn ' t mean that i ' m particularly happy about it , but there ' s nothing i can do about it and i can ' t copyright my images . i will say i ' m\nbemused ,\nparticularly by borrowings by mtv . and there are several groups that have done practically carbon copies of certain scenes from my films . and of course they ' ve never given me a call saying ,\nwhy don ' t you make a music video for us ?\ni could use the money . unless i didn ' t absolutely despise the music , i might even think of doing it . but it ' s never happened . it ' s much easier for them just to steal . and the younger generation , people that are making mtv , some of them have moved into hollywood films , but they are a generation of magpies , outrageous thieves , stealing ideas right and left . and they have amazingly little imagination of their own . if they didn ' t have people to steal from , i mean they ' d really be hard up . and that ' s my opinion of them . i hope that doesn ' t sound bitter ! i ' m mostly just bemused .\na note to readers : bold and uncensored , the austin chronicle has been austin\u2019s independent news source for over 36 years , expressing the community\u2019s political and environmental concerns and supporting its active cultural scene . now more than ever , we need your support to continue supplying austin with independent , free press . if real news is important to you , please consider making a donation of $ 5 , $ 10 or whatever you can afford , to help keep our journalism on stands .\ninformation is power . support the free press , so we can support austin . support the chronicle\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ndepicts a dream sequence about the brutal rape and torture of anger himself ( as a teenager ) by a group of sailors on the street ( after trying to pick one of them up ) .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\na woman dressed elegantly walks purposely through the water gardens at the villa d ' este in tivoli , as the music of vivaldi ' s\nwinter\nmovement of\nthe four seasons\nplays . heavy red filters . . . see full summary \u00bb\npierrot waxes romantic , entranced by the moon . harlequin appears and bullies him , then uses a magic lantern to project an image of columbine . pierrot tries to court the illusory columbine . . . see full summary \u00bb\na soundtrack plays folk rock as a woman prepares , at noon , to take her borzois for a walk . she goes through her dresses , all 1920s style flapper gowns , holding them one at a time , shaking . . . see full summary \u00bb\na slavonic mass by leos jan\u00e1cek plays as historical figures , biblical characters , and mythical creatures gather in the pleasure dome . aphrodite , lilith , isis , kali , astarte , nero , pan , and . . . see full summary \u00bb\na man in tight jeans buffs his car to the strains of\ndream lover\n.\na gang of nazi bikers prepares for a race as sexual , sadistic , and occult images are cut together .\nexperimental short , featuring strobe -

whatever is needed to illuminate a subject and carry on an intelligent conversation .

delete words from it , as we have done , indicate this deletion to the reader by placing an ellipsis mark , three spaced periods , in the sentence at the point of deletion . the rationale for using an

peers or lived a somewhat messy personal life that gets far too much attention here .\nit looked as if nature no longer contained the breed of nobler bloods , but stood on her last toes .\nah , it can ' t be avoided !\nthought nicholas , for the first and last time .\nbut the countess would not agree to his going ; he had had a bad leg all these last days .\nafter the last two days spent in

\u201csilkwood\u201d and \u201cthe insider , \u201d the courageous loner who stands up to evil at great personal risk is a familiar film figure . now the swedish master jan troell has added to that gallery with \u201cthe last sentence , \u201d his portrait of torgny segerstedt , a swedish newspaper editor who was an early , ferocious and persistent critic of hitler , defying both nazi threats and his own government\u2019s pleas not to undermine its neutral stance .\nbut \u201c the last sentence , \u201d which opens friday , is anything but a hagiography . the rectitude and fearlessness of segerstedt\u2019s public stances contrasted sharply with a messy and conflicted private life , which mr . troell also mines : segerstedt was haunted by his mother\u2019s early death , treated his wife with indifference , even cruelty , and flaunted his relationship with a morphine - addicted mistress who was the wife of his closest friend .\none of the last of the philosophers - - connecticut gave him to the world - - he peddled first her wares , afterwards , as he declares , his brains .\nrange after range of mountains began with a mixture of sharp green that gradually faded until the last

right , and reached the bushes .\nat last we have a man ! said he , glancing sternly and significantly round at everyone in the drawing room .\namong the old guard disorder and pillage were renewed more violently than ever yesterday evening , last night , and today .\ntaken together , those findings suggest that almost all economic growth in the last 120 - plus years was from technology .\nit

troell\u2019s \u201cthe last sentence . \u201d this biographical drama , shot in crisp black - and - white , offers a potentially intriguing study in high - minded political / moral obstinacy , but feels too claustrophobic \u2014 and , finally , tediously like a one - man window on [ \u2026 ]\nthe skin of a woodchuck was freshly stretched upon the back of the house , a trophy of his last waterloo ; but no warm cap or mittens would he want more .\nand , in fact , the last letter he had received from mack ' s army informed him of a victory and stated strategically the position of the army was very favorable .\nqui s ' excuse s ' accuse ,\n* said julie , smiling and waving the lint triumphantly , and to have the last word she promptly changed the subject .\nthis last sentence is our thesis for this section . based on this thesis , we , as the authors , have limited the content of the section ; and you , as the reader , will be able to form certain expectations about the discussion that follows . you can expect a definition of a thesis statement ; an enumeration of the uses of a thesis statement ; and a discussion focused on academic material . as writers , we will have met our obligations to you only if in subsequent paragraphs we satisfy these expectations .\nthe few glasses of wine he had drunk and the conversation with this good - natured man had destroyed

uncomfortable and even depressed in his friend ' s company and at last became silent .\nin those last moments when it was too late , she had decided to go with them .\nthroughout a career that spans more than 50 years , mr . troell has shown a predilection for what today are somewhat dismissively called biopics . \u201cthe last sentence\u201d is based on kenne fant\u2019s biography of segerstedt , and mr . troell\u2019s credits include films about figures as celebrated as knut hamsun , the nobel prize - winning novelist from norway arrested on charges of treason after world war ii , or as obscure , at least in the united states , as the early swedish aviator elsa andersson .\nagain , perhaps , nature will try , with me for a first settler , and my house raised last spring to be the

the lead in \u201cthe last sentence , \u201d but declined , according to mr . troell , because , at 85 , he felt \u201che was too old . \u201d but mr . christensen has also recently been part of mr . troell\u2019s de facto repertory company , having appeared in mr . troell\u2019s previous film \u201c everlasting moments \u201d from 2009 .\na little later , when the rush and heat of achievement relax , we can begin to expect the appearance of grand men to celebrate in glorious poetry and prose the deeds and triumphs of the last few centuries .\nat last the conversation gradually settled on some of the topics at first lightly touched on : their past life , plans for the future , pierre ' s journeys and occupations , the war , and so on .\nsonya stood ready dressed in the middle of the

tumultuous times his private life was marked by a world in chaos , as he falls in love with his friend ' s wife while married himself . the last sentence weaves together the story of a psychological love story with a portrayal of the political situation sweden found itself in during the second world war . a gripping , dramatic and poetic tale about a man , who could not be silenced .\nto clear up this last point for himself , prince andrew , utilizing his position and acquaintances , tried to fathom the character of the control of the army and of the men and parties engaged in it , and he deduced for himself the following of the state of affairs .\nit was the unexpected realization of the fact that he still valued life as presented to him in the form of his love for natasha , and a

troell\u2019s \u201cthe last sentence . \u201d this biographical drama , shot in crisp black - and - white , offers a potentially intriguing study in high - minded political / moral obstinacy , but feels too claustrophobic \u2014 and , finally , tediously like a one - man window on great events \u2014 to fully come to dramatic life . lacking the greater emotional breadth and accessibility of the esteemed helmer\u2019s last feature , \u201ceverlasting moments , \u201d this dry swedish history lesson will have a harder time finding offshore takers .\njan troell ' s the last sentence tells the story of torgny segerstedt ( jesper christensen ) , the former newspaper editor in sweden , where he spent more than a decade of his wartime tenure penning editorials lambasting nazi germany and the neutrality of the swedish government . the film ' s original title is dom \u00f6ver d\u00f6d man , or judgment of the dead man , which seems appropriate given the unusual emphasis throughout on legacies and reputations . toward the end of his life , segerstedt ' s chief concern seems to be how he will be remembered by the world , and much of the film is dedicated to indulging his reflections upon the value of his contributions to history . ( it ' s perhaps worth pointing out here that troell himself , an elder statesman\u2026\nwill there be a war ?\none character asks segerstedt as the nazi threat grows .\nthere is war ,\nsegerstedt replies , calmly . one of the refreshing things about this character is how he makes a big noise while never actually raising his voice . while the movie may be too concerned with immediate swedish concerns to make what american viewers would consider a\nuniversal\nstatement ,\nthe last sentence\nnevertheless is a remarkably full - bodied and frank character study that illuminates the old saw about the political being personal in a genuinely unusual way .\ntorgny segerstedt was one of the leading journalists in sweden in the 20th century . he fought a one man battle against hitler and the nazi regime until his death in 1945 and during these tumultuous times his private life was marked by a world in chaos , as he falls in love with his friend ' s wife while married himself . the last sentence weaves together the story of a psychological love story with a portrayal of the political situation sweden found itself in during the second world war . a gripping , dramatic and poetic tale about a man , who could not be silenced . written by filmlance international\nhe had often before , during the last six weeks , remained alone with her , but had never spoken to her of love .\nboth had changed greatly since they last met and both were in a hurry to show the changes that had taken place in them ."]}

as the brashest and most original and independent superstar on tv , arnold is unusual in many ways , not the least of which is that she is a hollywood multimillionaire who insists that we never forget her drab , lower - middle - class roots .\nand so it is in the woman who loved elvis : arnold portrays joyce jackson , a single mother in a small iowa town who is stuck on welfare and saddled with a serious elvis problem . joyce has turned her dilapidated front porch into a shrine to the late presley and is given to solemn pronouncements such as \u201delvis died for the love of us and our love for him . \u201d joyce has just been assigned a new caseworker from the welfare agency , a wide - eyed innocent named emily ( cynthia gibb of the karen carpenter story ) , who , unlike joyce\u2019s previous caseworkers , doesn\u2019t think she\u2019s just a lazy nut .\nfor most scriptwriters and performers elvis is a joke , a dead punch line employed in movies like honeymoon in vegas . arnold knows that one reason her sitcom roseanne commands such a huge , loyal audience is that she shares many of her fans\u2019 taste in unfashionable subjects like presley . but the woman who loved elvis doesn\u2019t shed any new light on arnold\u2019s own obsession .\nin interviews over the years , arnold has spoken often of her admiration for presley as an up - from - nothing , show - biz - transcending star ; she identifies with him to the extent of having worn an elvis - esque gold lame suit for her 1992 hbo stand - up special . in the woman who loved elvis , arnold sets up joyce to be a fanatic who will prove to have wisdom ; we assume her purpose is to redeem joyce and elvis to doubters . instead , the movie downplays presley as it goes along , reducing his presence to a few hits on the soundtrack .\nthe woman who loved elvis is based on laura kalpakian\u2019s 1992 novel , graced land ; it\u2019s not the elvis book arnold should have tackled . that one is harlan ellison\u2019s 1961 presley fable , spider kiss , a far more wild , down - and - dirty novel that tells the tale of stag preston , a country - hick rocker raised to superstardom by callous promoter col . jack freeport ( an on - the - money caricature of presley\u2019s manager , col . tom parker ) . i have long thought roseanne could buy the rights , turn the hero into a woman , and play the role herself ( doe preston ?

house cinemas as well as a respectable video afterlife on dvd and vod .\na great subject generally has the chance of lending itself to the certain success of any documentary . having just watched dark star , the life of h . r . giger , i entered with that predisposed expectation . giger ' s career as a highly influential 20th century contemporary artist , and his oscar winning creative contribution to ridley scott ' s film , alien , is well documented . in this film we are given a bit of historical information about the artist\u2019s past at the onset , and are privileged to see his lovely and dedicated wife carmen expound with great affection about his . . . read more\nthankfully , belinda sallin\u2019s documentary takes a reserved approach , allowing the audience to get to know giger more from those closest to him , rather than just attempting to interview the man himself . filmed towards the end of the prolific artist\u2019s life , dark star mostly consists of interviews with carmen vega , his widow , sandra berretta , his former assistant , and \u201clife partner , \u201d his current dark metal musician turned assistant , and others , as well as candid moments around giger\u2019s home and current events in his life .\nupon meeting him , i accepted a lot of things - for example , the fact that the [ spoken ] word wasn ' t the medium of h . r . giger . so i knew i ' d have to use other ways to realize the film . i said ,\nyou don ' t have to give me hours and hours of interviews ,\nand i think h . r . was pleased when he realized that i understood his situation .\nthough the documentary opens with creepy music and unnerving shots with giger\u2019s art and home , it really becomes a sincere and compassionate look into the artist\u2019s life that was full of success , heartbreak and the legacy he\u2019s left behind .\nicarus films , the us distributor , specialises in innovative and provocative documentary films by independent producers from all over the world . it has had a considerable number of swiss film productions in its line -

bleeding extraterrestrial in ridley scott\u2019s alien . dark star : hr giger\u2019s world , directed by belinda sallin , explores the life and works of the late swiss surrealist artist hans rudolf giger who\u2019s influenced an array of artists from sci - fi and horror films , to music including album cover design , tattoos and fetish art . not only did he win an academy award for best achievement in visual effects for his design work on the film but he also defied a very niche realm of art that many people find hard to interpret and understand .\ndespite giger\u2019s sudden shoot to fame in 1980 , when he won an oscar in special effects for the terrifying creature and sets he created for the blockbuster film alien , it didn\u2019t mean he was suddenly accepted by the art world .\nthe film captures both the claustrophobic and melancholic mood of giger ' s house , and also , perhaps , his mind .\nthat sounds about right . giger\u2019s art isn\u2019t meant to be pleasant , but it does provide catharsis for some ( like the assistant ) . perhaps they are the movie\u2019s real target audience .\n\u201che was not a dark man , he was not a dark character , which i had assumed he would be , based on his art . he was quite a nice man , \u201d sallin told swissinfo . ch .\nfor his dedicated fans , dark star : hr giger\u2019s world is certainly a must - see and for those not quite familiar with the artist and the type of work he did , it\u2019s an interesting world to enter . it may seem bizarre and eerie at first , but the more you delve into his work throughout the documentary the more you adapt to and understand giger and why he made the peculiar art that he did . as a child , giger was easily frightened and began using his art to cope and gain control of his fear and emotions . the documentary of course follows many milestones over the course of his career as well as the tragedies that have greatly affected him and his work including the suicide of his one - time partner and muse li tobler .\nby showing so many examples of his art , the film attests to giger\u2019s real gift for startling images . but it\u2019s hard not to see , in addition , elements of repetitive adolescent provocation .\n\u201cwhere others flee , he makes his home . what others dread , he makes his habitat . what others fight to suppress , he drags back to the surface . throughout his life , hr giger inhabited the world of the uncanny : a dark universe on the brink of many an abyss . \u201d\nmuch of the film takes place inside his zurich home , a dark labyrinth overstuffed with books and giger\u2019s art . it could serve as a sinister movie set . the backyard features a pint - size train that takes passengers through corridors decked with three - dimensional representations of his work , essentially a giger - themed carnival ride .\ni met sandra [ beretta , giger ' s former assistant ] by coincidence , and she introduced me to him - she opened the door . i paid the giger family many , many visits afterwards , and i think giger saw that my research was serious and my knowledge of his work profound . i think that ' s something he appreciated .\ni have no idea why a \u201cworld cat day\u201d exists , but i just read that it\u2019s today . that makes it the perfect moment to pay tribute to a certain feline : m\u00fcggi iii .\nsallin\u2019s documentary digs into the intimate , final years of giger\u2019s life and reveals how deeply he resided with his artistic visions behind the shuttered windows of his residences in zurich , switzerland . fun fact : the first skull giger received was given by his father at the age of six .\nthe film also addresses giger\u2019s complex relationship to the art world , where he defied traditional categories and embraced commercial projects for musicians including debbie harry , korn , emerson , lake and palmer and the dead kennedys . fittingly enshrined in a museum dedicated to his work , giger\u2019s output includes sculpture , painting , drawing , film and architecture , integrating meticulous technique with a instantly - recognizable sensibility that has inspired generations of nightmares .\ndespite a strong belief in the \u201cdeath of the artist , \u201d the analytical lens for interpreting art without taking into account the thoughts of the author about their own work , anyone who thinks about art enough will still crave to know the personalities behind the work . and for an artist as famously enigmatic as h . r . giger , a revelatory documentary is tempting proposition even for those who just know his work through ridley scott\u2019s alien .\nliving in what looks like the set of a rob zombie film , giger \u201cdid not create this world because he held it dear , but rather because he had no other option . it was the only way this amiable , modest and humorous man was able to keep his fears in check . giger was merely the bearer of dark messages , charting our nightmares , drafting maps of our subconscious and moulding our primal fears . \u201d\nhr giger next to the bust he had created of his deceased girlfriend li .\nopening theatrically in the u . s . and canada in over 30 cities :\nthere ' s little dialogue to interrupt the onslaught of imagery , which actually hurts the potential for audiences unfamiliar with hansruedi ' s history to enjoy the film .\nit ' s steven spielberg vs . the white house in ' the post '\nand sophia wong boccio , founder & executive director of sophia ' s choice .\nhe feels at home in places we would flee from and lives his life among the very things we fear . throughout his life , hr giger had inhabited the world of the uncanny , a dark universe on the brink of many an abyss . it was the only way this amiable , modest and humorous man was able to keep his fears in check . giger was merely the bearer of dark messages , charting our nightmares , drafting maps of our subconscious and molding our primal fears . a film with and about the internationally acclaimed and controversial painter , sculptor , architect and designer ( oscar for ' alien ' ) .\ni have been a fan of giger for years and was thrilled to find this . his work had an enormous impact on my work when i was in art school and his delving into dark areas of the mind to reveal what lies there is fantastic . the world lost an amazing jewel when he past . this video does a very good job of presenting his ideas and showing a tangible side to giger during a difficult time with respect and dignity . thank you for doing this project and allowing us a view inside this incredible man ' s life .\n\u201ci think it should be more than a niche film because so many people all over the world know who this guy is , \u201d hoehner said .\nlost soul : the doomed journey of richard stanley ' s island of dr . moreau\nas a nearly lifelong giger fan , i was terribly excited for the chance to discover more about this artist who changed so many mediums and whose designs meshing the worlds of nature , mechanics , the occult and humanity will continue to influence other artists for generations to come . what made him tick ? how did he view his own work ? unfortunately , dark star falls far short of asking those questions and so many more . i wondered if dark star was taking a naturalistic angle and just following giger around being giger ? unfortunately it\u00eds too contrived and posed for that , so the result just feels hollow and lazy . if director sallin was going for a hands - off , fly - on - the - wall approach , she fails utterly , and it feels like an opportunity tragically wasted . this true artistic pioneer is an enigma that this documentary seems determined to remain an enigma .\nhe feels at home in places we would flee from and lives his life among the very things we fear . throughout his life , hr giger had inhabited the world of the uncanny , a dark universe on the brink of many an abyss . it was the only way this amiable , modest and humorous man was able to keep his fears in check . giger was merely the bearer of dark messages , charting our nightmares , drafting maps of our subconscious and molding our primal fears . a film with and about the internationally acclaimed and controversial painter , sculptor , architect and designer ( oscar for ' alien ' ) . written by anonymous\nhe feels at home in places we would flee from and lives his life among the very things we fear . throughout his life , hr giger had inhabited the world of the uncanny , a dark universe on the brink of many an abyss . it was the only way this amiable , modest and humorous man was able to keep his fears in check . giger was merely the bearer of dark messages , charting our nightmares , drafting maps of our subconscious and molding our primal fears . a film with and about the internationally acclaimed and controversial painter , sculptor , architect and designer ( oscar for ' alien ' ) . ( imdb )\nalthough giger received limited appreciation in switzerland , it is clear how popular he was around the world with groups who identified with his unique style and work . this intense following came clearly to the surface as news spread of his death in may .\nthe opinions of giger in the film vary as much as his own personality seemed to .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthat could\u2019ve made for interesting films as well : hr giger through the eyes of his contemporaries , or the reception of hr giger\u2019s art in the ' 70s , or the religious symbolism of hr giger , and so on and so forth . there were not only dozens of former companions but also critics that could be interviewed . i could\u2019ve easily found both pro and contra positions .\none of the most insightful analyses of giger ' s art , which fascinates even as it repels , comes from stanislav grof , a psychiatrist who has written about what it is in giger ' s art that we both recognize and are repelled by .\nfor some reason ,\nsays grof ,\nhe decided to become the artistic reporter about what the darkness in us is .\ndeath has always hung like a shadow over giger and his art , which has its passionate partisans , but is not for the faint of heart . the artist , as a child , developed a fixation with an egyptian mummy in a museum , and it seems to have stuck . sallin ' s film includes many examples of giger ' s disturbing images , which have appeared on album covers and posters , along with archival footage and new interviews with the artist ' s associates and family members .\n* belinda sallin , director a little over a week ago i was back at the hr giger museum in greyerz for an interview . yes , it ' s true , it ' s remote . it ' s a good two - and - a - half hours from z\u00fcrich . but it ' s worth it , the backdrop is fantastic , the mol\u00e9son thrones impressively over the whole scene . and if you know that hansruedi giger already wanted to be a lord of the manor as a small boy , then it makes sense he set up his museum there in the ch\u00e2teau st . germain .\nthis might prove disappointing to those with preconceived notions , but that\u2019s a risk i\u2019ll have to take .\nthe documentary goes into giger\u2019s home in the north of the city of zurich \u2013 a winding labyrinth of rooms , packed from floor to ceiling with books and piles of paper , balancing between pictures and paintings .\ngiger himself seems fine with intimations of mortality . late in the film , the artist explains that he has no interest in either an afterlife or reincarnation . he ' s seen it all already , he says .\n\u201cpeople like me , regular film critics , saw how foreign newspapers had it in their obituaries . i think a lot of people only at that point realised how much of a star he was . \u201d\nthe film glances at some possible sources for giger\u2019s style , including a human skull he was given as a child by his father , a pharmacist , and early memories of a mummy seen at a museum . there\u2019s little analysis of his imagery , though a psychiatrist suggests that much of it was inspired by birth trauma .\nonce someone asked me : what\u2019s the thing that scares you most at hr giger\u2019s house ? i knew the answer right away : m\u00fcggi ! m\u00fcggi is totally unpredictable ! when i\u2019m in the same room with m\u00fcggi i don\u2019t like to let him out of my sight . it\u2019s not that i don\u2019t like him . on the contrary , i have great respect for him , but he has scared the daylights out of me on several occasions . he delights in sticking his claws into visitor\u2019s thighs , or resting on their shoulders . i\u2019m sure he means well . maybe it\u2019s just his predatory genes getting the better of him . maybe he\u2019s just looking for attention ( not that i ever had the feeling he needed to look very far ) or maybe he\u2019s just showing us who the man of the house is . whatever the case may be , hansruedi loved his m\u00fcggi iii and his predecessors m\u00fcggi ii and i more than anything else in the world . several photos testify to this . he often posed with his cats , or had them filmed .\nthe soundtrack is almost complete . i am once again given new insight into hr giger\u2019s work . it\u2019s the music of peter scherer that shifts my perspective once more , slightly changing my focus from time to time . it\u2019s impressive to hear how masterfully peter was able to transform the discussions i had with him about hr , his art and surroundings into themes , melodies , rhythms and sounds . people , you have to hear this film !\nworld premiere : september 2014 original version : swiss - german / german / english ( german / french / english subtitles ) , colour and b / w , dcp , 95 min . isan\nlol that ' s great ! definitely going to check it out now , i was expecting spaceballs or something .\n[ laughter ] not giger all the time . but giger will stay with me , of course - his art and his family . i see carmen giger [ his widow ] regularly because i want her to know what is going on with the film . and i have many other projects in my head , but nothing to share yet .\nthere can be no doubt that somm pulls all the stops of his ability . and anyone who believes the works of hr giger is merely somber and black is severely deluded . yes , there are colours in hr giger\u2019s work ! many of them , and with countless nuances . i became aware of this when i took the time to carefully observe hansruedi\u2019s work during the course of film research . i soon understood that it ' s important to carefully film the works , such as those in the hr giger museum . only then could we bring them to the silver screen in the manner that i imagine . i am particularly glad that colour grading was so effective , fulfilling my desire .\nwhen i was young and first saw the movie alien , i was gripped by the artwork . it ' s different in a way that seems plausibly otherworldly , as opposed to the stereotypical gigantic eyed ' greys ' . i long wondered about who this person was or what they were like , but frankly i was too lazy to look it up sooner . this seemed like a promising opportunity . through ' dark star ' there is a glance into the man ' s life , but it ' s the twilight . during the filming , giger was obviously in stark decline . there are some examples of the sort of man he is , which is why i watched . for the most part , we hear through surrogates and while it was rich , it felt just a bit lacking at times . for a novice to art like myself , i found it a worthwhile watch .\nan affordable dvd showing some work that ' s been around since the 60s . very interesting and ironic he died shortly after this documentary discussing death and war and how it effected hr giger ' s life . anyone who is a visual artist should see this to get a taste of what promoting your art means and why work ethic is so important .\nanother solid documentary about guys that worked on the failed dune project . giger has a lot more ground to cover than jodowowksy and it shows because in a lot of ways the documentary feels incomplete in that there ' s a ton of little details not followed up on . i mean a ton of little details . in that sense , it really emulates his art style but it ' s extremely frustrating cause i honestly don ' t know a ton about the guy outside of his work . the film assumes a level of familiarity with him that ' s probably not common . the biggest issue i have is that the documentary is constantly flattering . it ' s him surrounded with friends and family constantly praising him . while it ' s definitely fun , it never gives a complete portrait of anyone and there ' s some very odd stuff going on in his art that could stand a little more explanation . outside of that one issue , it ' s a solid documentary . the film makers don ' t interject themselves . they simply let the man present himself as best he can , which it ' s clear he can ' t do a ton since he ' s obviously ill being on the older side of things . it ' s objective enough in form if not in content .\nhr giger in front of his work\nfriedrich kuhn ii\n. it shows his friend photographed shortly before his death .\nhis mother in law , carmen scheifele de vega , described him as \u201cjust a normal guy\u201d , while the curator andreas j . hirsch who worked on two large exhibitions of giger\u2019s work said , \u201che feels at home in places we run from in fear\u201d .\ni realized once again how much one can project onto hansruedi giger . marcel hoehn , the producer of the film , visited us during the final mix . he brought someone along for the screening who told us about the first time as a child he had heard about hr giger . and it hadn\u2019t been a good experience . his strictly religious parents had told him giger was a satanist .\nrotten tomatoes , a review aggregator , reports that 63 % of 35 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review ; the average rating is 6 . 3 / 10 . metacritic rated it 62 / 100 based on 13 reviews . john defore of the hollywood reporter wrote that it\nfeels like it was made by a friend , in a good way\n. jeannette catsoulis of the new york times called it a disordered and free - form documentary that is\ncarefully curated to flatter\n. walter addiego of the san francisco chronicle rated it 2 / 4 stars and wrote that it is uninteresting to non - fans . alan scherstuhl of the village voice wrote that the film does not shy away from the controversy that surrounds giger ' s art and\nis fascinating , even if you ' re resistant to this dark star ' s gravity\n. ( wikipedia )\nthis documentary peels back the layers into the world of giger . listening to him explain his paintings , as well as insights from his close friends and family gives a new dimension and way of looking at his vast body of work . i definitely recommend this to any fan of his work and anyone who just wants to understand what the heck it all means .\neven the first time i entered hr giger\u2019s house ( actually three connected houses ) i had the feeling that it was alive . it is its own microcosm . peter is injecting this life to the film by adding the sounds i heard or felt there . cool .\nwhat\u2019s so special about this new film is that it features actual interview with the man himself , who we lost this past may .\nthat shrink is a buddy of giger ' s , and we don ' t need his help to make sense of things after hearing stories from the artist ' s childhood , like the time his big sister took him to a museum and he was so terrified of an egyptian mummy that he came back every sunday , forcing himself to spend time with it . or when his father was given a real human skull , and giger , too repulsed to hold it , tied a string to it and dragged it around the neighborhood with him .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\nwhat\u2019s better than watching a movie under the stars during those long warm summer nights in the city ? whether you\u2019re a movie or music junkie , this year\u2019s sixth open roof festival in toronto has some impressive films from a variety of different genres . from sci - fi to documentary to horror and much more , there\u2019s bound to be a film that not only intrigues but leaves you wanting more . plus , there will be an on - site caterer with some delicious food , which will be paired with a refreshing beer from orf\u2019s long - standing partner amsterdam brewery .\nwhile on the surface giger\u2019s art would seem easy to analyze or diagnose , there is a depth to it that definitely captures the imagination . giger himself is an interesting figure within the documentary . while his health was ailing , he was definitely a man of few words . there are some very candid moments where despite the lack of what he says , his face says it all , especially when talking about past relationships . otherwise , he is almost a background figure in the film , always around , but not the focus of the camera . giger\u2019s reluctance to talk in detail about what inspired specific pieces of his work doesn\u2019t just include the public , but even those who best knew the man himself only have their own ideas to draw from . while some may find their speculation about some of his art to be unimportant , sallin realizes that each person\u2019s interpretation of this genius\u2019 work tells us everything about the people that dedicated their lives to him and so much about how they see giger himself .\nseveral hundred people have attended a memorial service for the swiss surrealist painter hr giger who died two weeks ago . the creator of . . .\nhis appearance in jodorowsky ' s dune a couple of years ago was a little contentious . did you find him a difficult interview as well ?\nyour post isn ' t showing up ? it ' s probably stuck in the spam filter . message the mods so it can be removed .\nit\u2019s finally june , which not only means that there will be lots of festivals , concerts and road trips \u2013 that are in need of some new summer playlists \u2013 but also time for our bands spotted feature . check out this month\u2019s toronto - based bands and find your summer anthems here !\ni chose another approach . i wanted to make a personal film . i didn\u2019t want to show what you can already find on the internet and in countless newspaper articles and tv reports . so i decided on protagonists who had a close relationship with hansruedi ( for the most part anyway ) , mostly from his family . i wanted to show hr giger\u2019s world from the inside out , so to speak , and to view him and his surroundings in the most unbiased way possible . such an approach leaves no room left for accusations , stereotypes or clich\u00e9s .\nat last the moving images are receiving the colours that they are supposed to have . colourist roger sommer , ( known as somm ) is going about his business in his skilful way . my first meeting with somm , for the grading of the teaser in autumn 2012 , was surprising to say the least . hardly had i asked him if he knew anything about hr giger before he\u2019d shown me his alien tattoo on his forearm . i was meeting the very colourist in this world who had a giger on his skin . you could hardly call it coincidence .\nnestled in this chaos , mr . giger is a benign , yoda - like presence in declining health .

makers had at the time .\nfoolish wives , von stroheim ' s third feature as a director , presents close analogies with his first two as the last part of a triptych on the\ninnocent abroad ,\na new triangle comedy with the blind husband ( this time an american ambassador ) , his foolish wife , and the devil with his passkey ( von stroheim himself playing a pseudo - russian count ) . far superior to blind husbands ( 1919 ) , and probably to the devil ' s passkey ( a lost film , 1920 ) , its action is again set in europe , monte carlo succeeding the austrian dolomites of the first film and the paris of the second .\nadditionally , of the thirty - three women listed by todd compton as being plural wives of joseph smith , twelve do not have an officiator , ceremony or witness to their marriage / sealing . fanny alger and mrs . lucinda\nthe book \u2018foolish wives\u2019 within the film claims that the european finds a moral code vital while the american , motivated by the urgency of money - making , forgets even to react to its absence , a claim approved by karamzin and then disproved by the rest of the film , including \u2018von stroheim\u2019 and stroheim\u2019s square - up endings . amorality has been depicted in order to lend the morality of stroheim\u2019s very moral fiction the urgency of lived experience .\nvon stroheim has apparently never been popular with the\n100 per cent americans\nof our photoplay . these folk went to\nfoolish wives\nseeking something - and they professed to find it in the way von stroheim presents karamzin as shrewdly winning the foolish wife away from her american husband and also ( here is the deadly count against the director ) , in the way he paints the envoy as a sort of good - natured boob . knowing the caliber of some of our american representatives abroad , we find nothing but realism in this . but the parlor patriots , who recently were weeping over the subtle propaganda of the pola negri photoplays , call it\nstudied insolence .\nnot long ago , the museum of modern art graciously permitted me to run its copy of \u201cfoolish wives , \u201d on condition that if i became overstimulated or mushy , i would not pick the veneer off the chairs or kiss the projectionist . such fears , it presently turned out , were baseless . the showing roused me to neither vandalism nor affection ; in fact , it begot such apathy that i had to be given artificial respiration and sent home in a wheelbarrow .\ndefined by an oddly repulsive appearance and alien characterization , a devastating power over the opposite sex which blends eroticism with terror , and a personal , horrific connection to the forces of nature , von steuben dominates blind husbands , not least because of stroheim\u2019s superb performance . in foolish wives , the stroheim character retains von steuben\u2019s key traits , but these are developed to construct a truly diabolic figure ; equally , the film\u2019s disturbing elements greatly exceed the unsettling aspects of blind husbands .\nanother moment of humiliation occurs at the end of the play when katherina , having won petruchio\u2019s wager for him by being the first wife to obey and having also fetched the more wayward wives , is asked by petruchio to throw a favoured hat on the ground and step on it . the outspoken widow , interestingly , does not approve of katherina\u2019s behaviour , calling katherina\u2019s blind obedience \u2018a silly pass\u2019 . even the supposedly simpering ( yet , when you look closely at her exchanges with men throughout the play , much more successfully assertive ) bianca agrees , criticising and questioning her : \u2018fie , what a foolish duty call you this ? \u2019 the widow and bianca see this is an unacceptable way to treat your wife and that katherina is foolish to tolerate it .\nmy final category this morning is a wise mother verses a foolish mama . everything i have said so far also applies to those who are mothers , but there are additional responsibilities that you have that will reveal your level of either wisdom or foolishness .\nthe tragedy is that our society seems to have an increasing number of foolish fraus and a decreasing number of wise wives . if you want to be wise , then humble yourself to believe and trust the lord jesus christ . make it your goal to know him and submit to his will . then be sure to seek instruction in wisdom from those that are godly and wise that you may be wise , and be thankful for those who correct and even rebuke you ( proverbs 9 : 8 - 9 ) .\nthe long - evolving\nmillion dollar movie\nwritten and directed by erich von stroheim ,\nfoolish wives ,\nhas reached broadway at last . its reception was an interesting commentary upon our modes and manners . for von stroheim , of the junker physiognomy , was accused of everything from arch treason to studied insolence before all things american . that is , he was accused of all save one thing : demonstrating a superb directorial technique . we feel sure that von stroheim will forgive us for adding this accusation to the others .\nthe give and take of fantasy and lucidity in these films is still challenging . stroheim had wanted to be a writer almost as soon as he had given up on being a soldier . do his films propose a determinist view of human nature because he was a determinist ? if so , it\u2019s a point - of - view his own attempts and attainments would seem to refute decisively . or is it because that\u2019s the kind of view a great writer of the sort he wanted to be ( zola , norris ) would take ? stroheim\u2019s references to fictional books by himself in blind husbands and here ( the significance of which has been discussed by jonathan rosenbaum 3 ) indicate the importance of the literary dream . stroheim\u2019s star persona was a lie he used to tell the truth , but the truth escapes even what \u2018stroheim the author\u2019 claims to show . the book \u2018 foolish wives \u2019 by \u2018erich von stroheim\u2019 is a story about the moral superiority of americans . yet foolish wives \u2013 the stroheim film \u2013 is , despite every interference , about the inescapable materiality of class .\nthe comedian , accustomed to the humming machinery of hollywood\u2019s maturity ( in which he had become a fairly intermittent toiler ) , saw \u201cfoolish wives\u201d as an old movie that was the victim of changing styles ; he looked upon it as he might have looked upon a former gibson girl , now shapeless and wizened , who happened to stroll into his office in her once - trendy garb . but here\u2019s how , despite his failure to enjoy stroheim\u2019s visual and dramatic achievement in revival , he sums up the filmmaker\u2019s singular moral ( or immoral ) vision :\nin foolish wives von stroheim also gives the final\u2014and most brilliant\u2014touch to his portrait of the cynical seducer , equally eager for money and sex . his physical appearance is as recognisable as chaplin ' s , with his military cap , his whip , and his monocle . unlike don juan who seeks his own downfall or casanova who is constantly in love and taken in by his own illusions , von stroheim embodies here an energy and sensuality in their purest form and seeks to destroy the world around him until his final death , not unlike a de sade character .\nsimilarly , joseph asked about a plurality of wives and received an answer that dealt , not only with polygamy , but with the entire new and everlasting covenant of marriage , which includes plural marriage but is not limited to it . plural marriage itself is not mentioned until verse 34 .\nthe ashley maureen cosmetics company has been sold and two of its vice presidents , david mcgrachen and john baker , have planned a weekend off before the new c . e . o . arrives on monday . with their wives safely off on a shopping spree in new york city , they check into the oakfield golf and country club intending to\ngolf their brains out .\nthey unexpectedly encounter their new boss , ms . hutchison , and she insists on meeting the wives , commenting blithely\nno one who went golfing for a weekend without his wife would ever work for me .\nso . . . david and john have to produce wives . john persuades tina , the hotel ' s sexy receptionist , to play the role of his wife , but the only one who can pretend to be david ' s wife is . . . john ! inevitably everything goes wrong as john moves in and out of bedrooms , changing from male to female at a frantic pace . hilarious chaos ensues when the hotel phone system goes on the blink , tina has too much champagne and can ' t keep her clothes on , and , yes , the real wives arrive !\ndescription : as artistically brilliant as it is gleefully perverse , foolish wives is erich von stroheim ' s epic - scale account of an american diplomat ' s wife ( miss dupont ) who falls under the spell of a phony russian count ( von stroheim ) . with his trademark eye for visual metaphor and gritty detail , von stroheim infuses the artistocratic splendor of monte carlo ( rebuilt in all its majesty on the universal backlot ) with an air of moral depravity . the result is a grimm ' s fairy tale romance that is no less fascinating today than it was 80 years ago .\nfoolish wives\nhas moments - indeed , whole stretches - of greatness . it is not for the provincial or the prude . von stroheim has taken the one real theme of life - sex - and played upon it with continental discernment and , let us say , abandon . where the pollyanna american viewpoint dresses up sex in tinsel and spangles , von stroheim looks upon it with the worldly and half cynical , half humorous viennese viewpoint of a schnitzler . briefly , where we love to dress our sex illusions in santa claus whiskers , von stroheim sees only the stocking at the fireplace .\nfoolish wives is a 1922 film directed by , written by , and starring erich von stroheim . here von stroheim plays count wladislaw sergius karamzin , who may or may not be an actual russian count . he is in monte carlo in 1919 along with his two partners in crime , princess vera and princess olga , who are pretending to be his cousins but are definitely neither his cousins nor russian princesses . in any event , all three of them are definitely con artists , funding their stay in monte carlo by passing off counterfeit banknotes created by ventucci , another one of their partners in crime .\nthe opening text ( on the disc - release format ) of foolish wives recounts the problematic history the film has had throughout the nearly 100 years it\u2019s been around . to steal from the text itself , foolish wives ( erich von stroheim\u2019s third directorial effort ) ran at a massive twenty - one reels upon its completion \u2013 von stroheim intended the film to be cut in half and shown over consecutive evenings , according to the info i dug up online . the studio , universal pictures , refused this idea , and cut out over five reels of footage prior to release . a later version , cut in half yet again \u2013 to seven reels total \u2013 meant the film ran at about 117 minutes , a brief interlude for a movie intended to be some kind of monumental epic . the version i watched , a restoration version clocking in at an almighty 2 hours and 20 minutes ( remember , this was a silent film , made in 1922 , so length came at considerable cost ) , remains now the most complete version of the original cut von stroheim completed , although it must be said that even at 2 hours and change , there\u2019s little redeeming value in a film this long , featuring this little story .\nas artistically brilliant as it is gleefully perverse , foolish wives is erich von stroheim ' s epic - scale account of an american diplomat ' s wife ( miss dupont ) who falls under the spell of a phony russian count ( von stroheim ) . with his trademark eye for visual metaphor and gritty detail , von stroheim infuses the artistocratic splendor of monte carlo ( rebuilt in all its majesty on the universal backlot ) with an air of moral depravity . the result is a grimm ' s fairy tale romance that is no less fascinating today than it was 80 years ago . first time ever on blu - ray !\nwhile we have no firsthand accounts of the prophet\u2019s counsel on marriages to women in their teens , a pattern which began in nauvoo and was carried over into utah is instructive . this protocol taught that polygamous husbands should allow young wives to physically mature before beginning a family with them . eugene e . campbell described brigham\u2019s latter instructions :\nconsistent with his overall prejudices , palmer discusses joseph smith\u2019s first plural marriage as if it was an adulterous relationship ( pp . 10\u201311 ) . however , in a 1904 letter mary elizabeth rollins reported : \u201cjoseph the seer \u2026 said god gave him a commandment in 1834 , to take other wives besides emma . \u201d 49 joseph soon complied .\nsister pratt , the lord has given you to me as one of my spiritual wives [ somewhat like a concubine , or a wife for the night ] . i have the blessings of jacob granted me , as god granted holy men of old , and as i have long looked upon you with favor , and an earnest desire of\nthe firemen stretch a net and the count - master egotist first and last - adjusts his monocle and leaps to safety . a second later the foolish wife half falls , half jumps to the rescuing net . here von stroheim might have ended his theme , but he went onward to show the ultimate fate of the dissolute russian .\ni was left to all kinds of temptations , and mingling with all kinds of society , i frequently fell into many foolish errors and displayed the weakness of youth and the corruption of human nature , which i am sorry to say led me into divers temptations , to the gratification of many appetites offensive in the sight of god . 6\nerich stroheim ' s third feature , foolish wives , was twenty - one reels in length when it was completed in 1921 . the studio eliminated one third of the film before the initial release , and this abridged version was completely re - titled and reduced by half its length to seven reels for a subsequent re - issue . for more than 40 years the film was seen only in its shortest form . the present copy assembled for the american film institute by authro lenning , represents an attempt to reconstruct the film to a more authentic version , the original titles have been restored and much of the footage eliminate over the years has been replaced . although still fragmentary , this is the most complete form in which f oolish wives is know to exist today . materials for the reconstruction were obtained from the museum of modern art , the british film institute , the library of congress , universal pictures , the eastin - phelan corporation , and herman g . weinberg . the project was made possible by the morris and gwendolyn cafritz foundation .\nintended to run anywhere between six and 10 hours , most of von stroheim\u2019s films , from greed to the pre - talkie swanson vehicle queen kelly ( the inspiration for billy wilder\u2019s sunset boulevard , which stars von stroheim as the fading star\u2019s butler ) , were severely bastardized by studio heads upon their release . 1922\u2019s foolish wives begins with the perfect iris shot . this is no ordinary \u201cfade into\u201d effect , but an entrancing reinforcement of the sinister , insular and constrictive nature of the milieu von stroheim is about to introduce us to . because the man spent much of his life hiding his jewish background , it probably comes as no surprise that there\u2019s so much lingering beneath the surface of his films .\nin the clip above , i discuss erich von stroheim\u2019s \u201cfoolish wives , \u201d shot\u2014for almost a year\u2014in 1920 and 1921 , and released in 1922 . no one would mistake s . j . perelman , one of america\u2019s greatest comic writers and screenwriters , for a film critic , but his 1952 appreciation , in the pages of the new yorker ( available to subscribers ) , of stroheim\u2019s silent classic is both a laugh riot and a fascinatingly skewed but perceptive take on stroheim\u2019s art . he writes of it as the film that \u201ccanonized\u201d the director - actor for him , and describes the powerful impression that stroheim\u2019s starring performance , as the predatory , penniless , domineering count sergius karamzin , had made on him :\n\u201cguess who\u2019s coming to dinner\u201d meets \u201cthe stepford wives\u201d in \u201cget out , \u201d in which a white girl brings her black boyfriend home to meet her parents , whose superficially warm welcome masks an unthinkably dark secret . blending race - savvy satire with horror to especially potent effect , this bombshell social critique from first - time director jordan peele proves positively [ \u2026 ]\nas the film ' s production costs skyrocketed , universal pictures attempted to use the situation to garner some publicity for it . the studio erected an electronic sign on a rooftop overlooking broadway , across the street from its new york offices . the sign read\nuniversal pictures and erich von stroheim will spend $ xxx , xxx to entertain you with ' foolish wives ' .\neach week the numbers of the production costs were updated on the electronic sign , telling how much more the picture had cost . in the end the total cost of the film , as reported by universal , was $ 1 , 103 , 736 . 38 . von stroheim later claimed that the real cost was only around $ 700 , 000 .\nthe offering of money , \u201cfive dollars , \u201d is also singular . none of joseph\u2019s plural wives reported any promises of material benefits or financial favors to them . plural wife lucy walker recalled joseph telling her as he discussed a plural sealing with her : \u201ci have no flattering words to offer . \u201d 85 there is simply too much here that does not add up .\nfoolish wives\nmarks the point at which the studios - in this case universal - had had enough of erich von stroheim ' s excesses . after von stroheim refused to trim the film down from more than 6 hours , the studio took matters into their own hands ; the currently available print runs around two and a half hours . most of the other footage was lost so it is hard to gauge how the ' complete ' film would play , although given he apparently shot several reels of himself eating breakfast , perhaps the studio had a point . what remains is still a fairly scintillating exploration of sin , corruption and lust . von stroheim plays the self - styled count karamzin , a con artist who descends on monte carlo\u2026\nthe foolish frau brings shame on herself and her household because she is ungodly at heart . she is selfish and proud , so much so that she \u201cis wiser in her own eyes than seven men who can give a discreet answer\u201d ( proverbs 26 : 16 ) . those who try to correct her will received dishonor and insults from her ( proverbs 9 : 7 ) .\nfive different proverbs state that a wise son will make you glad , but your child will not be wise unless he is taught by those who are wise , and that requires you to be wise . children are naturally foolish to begin with because they come to us as sinners . you must follow god\u2019s instructions if you are to remove the foolishness and replace it with wisdom . if you follow the advice of fools or yield your children to be trained by fools , do not be surprised that they remain foolish and cause you great grief . it is that grief and shame that has caused so many parents to regret having children and is a major factor in young couples being hesitant to have children as they hear and see the horror stories .\n\u201cnow if any of you will deny the plurality of wives and continue to do so , i promise that you will be damned ; and i will go still further , and say that this revelation , or any other revelation that the lord had given , and deny it in your feelings , and i promise that you will be damned . \u201d brigham young , deseret news , november 14 , 1855\nin post - war europe , a bogus russian count , sergius karamzin ( von stroheim ) , and his two \u201ccousins\u201d - cum - mistresses ( maude george and mae busch ) confer with their pathetic counterfeiter before descending upon the wife of an american envoy sent to monte carlo to meet with the prince of monaco . karamzin\u2019s business is destroying lives , and over the course of the film\u2019s existing 141 minutes , he takes advantage of no less than three women : the american helen hughes ( miss dupont ) , his maid maruschka ( dale fuller ) , and the counterfeiter\u2019s half - witted daughter , marietta ( malvine polo ) . at the time of its release , foolish wives was the most expensive film ever produced , and though von stroheim was widely considered a lavish spendthrift , his films remain triumphs of period detail .\nmrs . [ lucinda pendleton morgan ] harris was a married lady , a very good friend of mine . when joseph had made his dastardly attempt on me , i went to mrs . harris to unbosom my grief to her . to my utter astonishment she said , laughing heartily : \u201chow foolish you are ! i don\u2019t see anything so horrible in it . why i am his mistress since four years ! \u201d 66\nshe gave birth to nine of kimball\u2019s children between 1846 and 1864 . malissa lott , who was sealed to joseph smith in september 1843 , married ira jones willes on 13 may 1849 . their first child was born 22 april 1850 , with conception occurring approximately 30 july 1849 ( or eleven weeks after the wedding ceremony ) . seven willes children were born between 1850 and 1863 . emily partridge bore brigham young seven offspring between 1845 and 1862 . her sister eliza married amasa lyman , and together they had five children between 1844 and 1860 . several other plural wives , including louisa beaman , martha mcbride , and nancy winchester , also remarried and became pregnant . in light of the obvious fertility of many of joseph smith\u2019s plural wives ( and joseph himself with emma ) , it seems that they either bore him children who are unknown today or that sexual relations in the marriages did not occur often .\nthe idea for this sermon has been on my mind for several months , but the subject has been on my mind for many years for i have met many wise women who have built their household , but i have also met many foolish females who have torn their families apart . the greatest tragedy in this is that most of the time those who were foolish believed they were wise even as their home collapsed around them . in addition , we live in a society which has increasingly given praise to the foolish female as being liberated to be herself while attacking the wise woman as being victimized by her gender . while what i have to say is directed at you ladies so that you may pursue wisdom and flee foolishness , it is also for you men too , for not only do the general principles of wisdom also apply to you , but you need to know how to encourage the women in your life toward wisdom and protect them from foolishness . this is especially true toward your own wife and daughters . if you are not married , the contrast will direct you ladies to the characteristics you need to develop in order to be a good wife and mother if god should bless you in that manner , and it will give you single men a better idea of what to look for in a potential wife .\nproverbs 14 : 1 states , \u201cthe wise woman builds her house , but the foolish tears it down with her own hands . \u201d the foolishness here does not have to descend all the way down to the level of being a nabal ( naw - bawl\u2019 ) for this to happen . all it really takes is being \u201cthick brained\u201d \u2013 proud and stubborn . if that is augmented by being naive and lacking understanding , the destruction will occur faster .\nall of which we dismiss as absurd stuff to frighten naughty children . we know some of the limitations under which von stroheim worked and we congratulate him upon proving - in an unqualified way - that he is one of the rare cinema elect . at the same time , let us declare ourselves as against the waste of money on huge exra reel spectacles . also , that we fully realize that von stroheim lost his story , and in a large measure , failed with\nfoolish wives .\nwhich is but another proof that one cannot do all things well . von stroheim should let someone else write his stories . imagine , for instance , what he could do with the\nthe affairs of anatol .\nthe cecil demille drivel would fade into nothingness . but von stroheim needs a strong leash . right here we predict that this man will do more things of fine worth . if he does not , then the photoplay is the loser .\nthe wife of an american envoy falls within his wiles , and the russian almost sweeps her from her feet when fate circumvents in the hands of the aforementioned maddened servant maid . the women sets fire to the castle , with the count and the\nfoolish wife\nlocked in a lonely tower - room . here von stroheim works to a thrilling climax as the flames lick their way up the winding tower steps and force the prisoners to a tiny balcony high above the ground .\nin proverbs 9 : 13 - 18 , folly also gives an invitation to the naive to come to her home . she does not have to invite the fools and scoffers for they are already dinning there on a regular basis . the specific target of folly\u2019s are the naive who \u201care making their paths straight\u201d ( 9 : 15 ) . these are people who are trying to walk a straight path in doing what is right , but because they determine what is right by their own standards , they will end up walking a crooked path and not even recognize it . folly\u2019s enticements are attractive to man\u2019s sinful and selfish nature , but those who go to her home are in grave danger for \u201cthe dead are there , [ that ] her guests are in the depths of sheol\u201d ( 9 : 18 ) . whether you become a wise woman or remain a foolish female will depend on whose voice you listen to and heed . here are some contrasts between the wise woman and the foolish female .\n1 . the asphalt jungle ( 1950 ) 2 . deliverance ( 1972 ) 3 . disneyland dream ( 1956 ) 4 . a face in the crowd ( 1957 ) 5 . flower drum song ( 1961 ) 6 . foolish wives ( 1922 ) 7 . free radicals ( 1979 ) 8 . hallelujah ( 1929 ) 9 . in cold blood ( 1967 ) 10 . the invisible man ( 1933 ) 11 . johnny guitar ( 1954 ) 12 . the killers ( 1946 ) 13 . the march ( 1964 ) 14 . no lies ( 1973 ) 15 . on the bowery ( 1957 ) 16 . one week ( 1920 ) 17 . the pawnbroker ( 1965 ) 18 . the perils of pauline ( 1914 ) 19 . sergeant york ( 1941 ) 20 . the 7th voyage of sinbad ( 1958 ) 21 . so\u2019s your old man ( 1926 ) 22 . george stevens ww2 footage ( 1943 - 46 ) 23 . the terminator ( 1984 ) 24 . water and power ( 1989 ) 25 . white fawn\u2019s devotion ( 1910 )\nin 1892 , depositions seeking to discover if joseph smith practiced sexual polygamy were sought for litigation between the rlds church and the church of christ ( temple lot ) . helen mar kimball was not called to testify , even though she lived nearby and had written two books defending plural marriage . instead , three wives who lived further away were summoned , and all affirmed sexual relations with the prophet in their plural marriages . the most likely reason for helen\u2019s absence was her inability to offer the required testimony of a sealing with a sexual dimension .\na review of the child - bearing chronology of joseph smith\u2019s wives after his death and their remarriages demonstrates impressive fertility in several of the women . most of them married within two years after the martyrdom and prior to the saints leaving for the west . three of the women became pregnant within weeks after remarrying . sarah ann whitney , who was sealed to joseph smith for twenty - three months , married heber c . kimball on 17 march 1845 , and , based on the birth date of their first child , became pregnant approximately june 15 .\nthe husband of a foolish frau cannot do this because he has trouble at home and she brings shame on him ( prov . 12 : 4 ) . she is idle and wastes her time on frivolous things making it easy to fall into being a gossip and busybody ( 1 tim . 5 : 13 ) . she is fearful and rumors obstruct her from action ( prov . 22 : 13 ) . she opens her mouth and it spouts folly ( prov . 15 : 2 ) . woe to those who listen to her !\neven in its present shape , however , the film is one of the most stunning of the silent era . it also exercised a major influence on future directors , including renoir , bu\u00f1uel , and vigo . von stroheim shows a world that lies to itself , where swindlers and rich people mix , and where the heroine reads a book called foolish wives . the writer - director deals with false appearances : the titles of count wladislas sergius karamzin and his two princess cousins are fake ( von stroheim himself was not an austrian aristocrat as he would have us believe during his lifetime , but the son of a jewish hat - maker ) , the money is counterfeit , and the sentiments are fraudulent ; karamzin playing at love to seduce his maid , the ambassador ' s wife , and an idiotic 14 - year - old girl . this hypocrisy of the social game is set in the context of world war i , which had just ended : an armless veteran , a nurse pushing a soldier in a wheelchair , a little girl on crutches , a boy playing with a military helmet .\nwisdom begins with the fear of the lord , but foolishness rejects the eternal perspective demanded by that and instead either fears man or is so caught up in immediate circumstances that they do not give adequate consideration to their end . the wise woman will turn from her sin and put her faith in the person and work of the lord jesus christ , god in human flesh who lived a sinless life then willingly died as the substitute payment for sin and rose again physically proving his claims about himself and promises of redemption , forgiveness and a future eternity with him in heaven are true . the foolish female either rejects or ignores jesus , or gives a feigned profession of faith in him , and may even pursue cultural aspects of christianity , but will remain biblically ignorant of him and his commands . the wise woman will actively pursue an increasing knowledge of jesus christ desiring to understand his will and willingly submit to obey it to the best of her abilities . if a foolish female does study the bible she will not interpret according to its context by a historical , grammatical hermeneutic , but will instead find those that will tickle her ears with what she wants to hear . she will twist the meaning of the scriptures to fit with what she desires for herself . her lack of actual love for the lord jesus will be demonstrated by her unwillingness to obey his commands . the wise woman strives to live in holiness in the present with an eye on eternity because her hope is in christ jesus . the foolish female lives in the present as she desires with her hope in her own abilities to manipulate circumstances to her favor . the wise woman will be a godly influence upon those around her and be grieved by the ungodliness around her . she welcomes correction that enables her to move away from sin and become more like her lord . the foolish female will be affected by and moved toward the ungodly influences around her . she rejects correction and will dishonor and hate those that attempt to reprove her . she begins by walking in the counsel of the ungodly , and will soon be standing with the sinners and will in the end be seated with the scoffers .\nquestions to consider in discussing the sermon with others . what is wisdom ? how does godly wisdom differ from worldly wisdom ? what are the three levels of foolishness ( hebrew word definitions ) ? how available is wisdom according to proverbs 1 : 20 - 33 ; 8 : 1 - 36 and 9 : 1 - 12 ? how is the invitation of folly ( proverbs 9 : 13 - 18 ) similar to and yet different from the invitation of wisdom ? what is the fear of the lord and what are its benefits ? what is the response of a wise woman to jesus christ ? what are the possible responses of a foolish female to him ? what is the primary responsibility of a godly wife ? what are her primary roles according to the scriptures ? contrast the character traits of a wise wife as expressed in proverbs 31 : 10 - 31 with those of a foolish frau . what is the primary responsibility of a godly mother ? what will be required of her in order to raise godly children ? what will be the result if she fails ? why should she avoid yielding her responsibility to others ?\ni think we both felt deep down that we got back together for financial considerations as well as for the sake of the kids . i was kicking myself for getting back together because no matter what i did or how good a husband i would try to be , i was never going to satisfy her . she just wasn ' t capable of being satisfied ! i felt so foolish . it got to the point where we were both ready to walk away and admit with much embarrassment that we made a terrible mistake - twice ! our second marriage would not even make it to the first anniversary ."]}

i ' m not keen on novels that proselytize . this one strayed just a bit too much into that territory for my taste .\nstephen king referenced this author in one of his books so after much searching i located it at a used bookstore in clifton ( ohio , uc campus ) . i lived by myself at the time in a very dark neighborhood - raccoons and dogs regularly plundered around at night . i started in on this book and could not stop - had to make frequent trips around the house to check on things as i was sort of freaked out . it did not help that i kept hearing sounds and getting startled . scary crap from beginning to end . it reads like it is real , messed up from page 1 to the end . highly recommended .\nstevens tells an enjoyable tale about thomas bishop who escapes ( quite masterfully ) from a mental health facility and begans to cross the us killing women in vicious ways . this book was written in the 1970 ' s right when mass murders were becoming the rage with the likes of charles manson and such . stevens gives you a look into bishop ' s backround . he was raised by a mother who beat him with a leather strap a lot till he couldn ' t take it anymore and he killed her resulting in his residencey at will\nuh - oh , it looks like your internet explorer is out of date . for a better shopping experience , please upgrade now .\ntwenty - six years later , he remained at the hospital , stalled at level 2 . he was confined to the corridors and units , with the possibility of never being released - his story a constant reminder to the hospital of how badly wrong a release can go .\nthis was one of the best books i have ever read . i love the fact that this book was based on non fiction relating to the story of caryl chessman and then transitioning to fiction about this psychopathic mass murderer . i learned a part of history that i did not know about and i became spell bound in the methodical and insane mind of a killer . it was great . i wish shane stevens still wrote . the other books that i have found for him have great reviews but are impossible to find . no longer in print .\nthis is a difficult book to review . it reads like a non - fiction pursuit of a serial killer with all the people involved listed and used throughout . however , it is fiction and is well - thought out . the plot is complicated and the crimes gruesome . many people act as fouls for one another . as the reader , you see into the mind of the killer . that is particularly interesting \u2014 the psychology of his actions . you also are introduced into the minds of the other characters in the story . this book is recomm\nin the follow - up to her # 1 bestselling memoir , a stolen life , jaycee dugard tells the story of her first experiences after years in captivity : the joys that accompanied her newfound freedom and the challenges of adjusting to life on her own . when . . .\nof serial - killer novels - - the first and still the best . what sets this apart from all the books that would come after is the quality of the prose and the almost old testament flavor of the writing . there are long sequences in which the killer studies other killers - - most notably caryl chessman - - and reaches a moment of insight into evil that transcends all other crime fiction i ' ve read . a brilliant and lacerating novel unlike any you ' ve ever read - - and one you ' ll never forget . i promise .\nthere is a ton of louis theroux documentaries on netflix , from his quirky weird weekends in pro wrestling to more serious looks at crimes and drugs . acting the simpleton , he is a master at establishing a rapport with interviewees , lulling them into a false sense of security and very often giving them enough rope to hang themselves . ' the city addicted to crystal meth ' is one of the best on the service .\ni really liked this book . would probably give it 8 . 5 on a 10 star scale . i am very stingy with the last stars , since they mean that i want to re - and re - read the book . what was great about this book ? ? ? its a courtroom drama / thriller with psychological undertones , which i expected by the title . the style is similar to the patterson , grisham , etc novels , but the thing that lets me recommend it unreservedly to my friends is the absolute lack of objectionable language . there are some pg13 situation\none word : wow . two words : fucking wow . this book is not your typical noir novel . it is much more . dark and funny . grisly and beautiful . dense and , yet , in some ways bleak and sparse . it tells the story of an escaped mental patient and the detective who chases him across america . but this isn ' t a harrison ford - like fugitive ; this fugitive kills . and he kills to simply kill . the narrative is straight forwad : an act of violence is followed by the law ' s interpretation of the violence . ( but does anyone really know why someone is compelled to enact heinous crimes on strangers ? ) besides a schmaltzy sub - plot of the killer trying to understand where he came from ( via a search for his real father ) , and some heavy - laden mommy issues , this book is one that will never be forgotten . few books leave me this flustered , yet gratified with my reading experience . very highly recommended .\nthis list features prisoners , drug addicts and mobsters , and yet the plight of mark and jez seems somehow sadder than all of these combined . the pair live in a sh * t flat , pursue sh * t jobs and sh * t relationships , only getting through the day with the thought of the muller corner yogurt waiting for them in the fridge . peep show is flawless in its depiction of mid - twenties 5 - hours - sleep and office - kitchen - catch - ups boredom and is unrelenting in the dark and depressing situations it places its characters in .\njonathan had been the elder of two boys . his upbringing had been unremarkable , though he told me his family had been a little emotionally reserved .\nshane stevens is the bestselling author of go down dead , way uptown in another world , dead city , rat pack , and the anvil chorus .\nstart by watching louis c . k ' s stand - up live at the beacon theater ( also on netflix ) then plough on into this series . it sees the comedian play a semi - autobiographical version of himself gigging , raising his two kids and trying to cope with the world of dating far later in life than he expected to . it doesn ' t pack a high laughs - per - minute ratio , but that ' s not really what he ' s going for in this series . it ' s more woody allen territory really ( indeed he went on to star in blue jasmine last year ) , and has a surprising emotional depth . season 2 is shaky , but worth sticking through for season 3 which is brilliant and incredibly thoughtful .\nin jonathan ' s case , his father had been a much - loved history professor in a small college town in the south - eastern corner of ohio .\nin the years since , jonathan had been making steady progress through the hospital ' s five\nmovement levels\nthat dictate the patients ' level of treatment .\nthe zingers come at lightning speed in this much - loved comedy about the backstage workings of a saturday night live - type sketch show . tina fey and alec baldwin are equally brilliant in the lead roles of showrunner liz lemon and nbc president jack donaghy and the satire on pop culture is always absolutely pin point accurate .\nat a mental hospital in columbus i met eric . he was pushing a trolley of\ncomfort items\nfor delivery to other patients : cuddly toys and toiletries .\nshane stevens is the author of numerous books , including the anvil chorus , dead city , go down dead , rat pack , and way uptown in another world .\nprobably one of the best crime thrillers ever written . yes , i do mean\never\n. a must read novel , not for the faint hearted though .\na crasser documentary might have lost its composure in the face of such pronouncements . but the endlessly stoic theroux ' s first impulse was to treat the interviewees with respect .\nread this many , many years ago ; but i remember it as one of the scariest books i ever read . one that i would like to re - read .\nafter a series of kidnappings and murders in virginia beach , newspaper reporter catherine o ' rourke experiences disturbing dreams that detail each crime . in an effort to aid the investigation , she shares them with her confidential source\u2014a detective working on the case . catherine ' s intimate knowledge of the crimes immediately makes her a prime suspect . when scientific evide\ni am a huge john grisham fan and this book reminder me a lot of his books . i really enjoyed the writing style and the story line . would highly recommend\nthis shopping feature will continue to load items . in order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading .\ntra il luglio e l\u2019agosto del 1973 l\u2019america assiste terrorizzata e impotente alla carneficina compiuta da vincent mungo , il pi\u00f9 spietato serial killer che ne abbia mai calpestato il suolo . evaso dal manicomio criminale dov\u2019era rinchiuso da pochi mesi , mungo attraversa gli stati uniti da una costa all ' altra , da los angeles fino a new york , lasciandosi alle spalle i resti di cadaveri orribilmente mutilati . le vittime , tutte giovani donne , vengono torturate , stuprate , fatte a pezzi con una furia sanguinaria senza eguali , che affonda le radici nel tragico passato dell\u2019uomo . il suo \u00e8 un compito superiore , una missione : la donna \u00e8 il male , lui , il cacciatore di demoni , liberer\u00e0 il mondo dalla sua abominevole presenza . mentre la scia di sangue diviene giorno dopo giorno sempre pi\u00f9 densa , l\u2019opinione pubblica , sconvolta dalla mattanza , inizia a chiedersi perch\u00e9 nessuno riesca a fermarlo . gi\u00e0 : perch\u00e9 nessuno riesce a seguire le tracce di mungo ? perch\u00e9 , nonostante le sue fotografie tappezzino ormai i muri di decine di citt\u00e0 , nessuno lo ha mai avvistato ? perch\u00e9 la polizia , impegnata nella pi\u00f9 estesa caccia all\u2019uomo mai dispiegata sul suolo americano , non ha la pi\u00f9 vaga idea di come prevedere la sua prossima mossa ? semplice : perch\u00e9 l\u2019uomo che si sta prendendo gioco di tutti loro , il pi\u00f9 feroce serial killer della storia d\u2019america , non \u00e8 vincent mungo . ci sono tre cose che non mi sono piaciute di questo romanzo : la prima , nonch\u00e9 pi\u00f9 grave di tutte , \u00e8 l\u2019imperdonabile ritardo con cui il capolavoro , s\u00ec , lo dico senza pudore , capolavoro di shane stevens \u00e8 stato pubblicato in italia . sono passati pi\u00f9 di trent\u2019anni da quando by reason of insanity , con largo anticipo rispetto a riconosciuti caposaldi del genere come il silenzio degli innocenti , il collezionista di ossa o american psycho , ha inaugurato il filone dei serial killer letterari negli stati uniti . un plauso a fazi per averci consegnato un romanzo di tale importanza , ma una dolorosa tirata d\u2019orecchi a tutta l\u2019editoria italiana per avercene privato per tutto questo tempo . la seconda e la terza riguardano proprio l\u2019edizione italiana : il titolo , io ti trover\u00f2 , \u00e8 quanto di pi\u00f9 banale si possa immaginare e non rende minimamente giustizia all\u2019originale , ben pi\u00f9 significativo ;

i prefer a vertical antenna to get the antenna as far away from the house and trees as possible . i have a somewhat tentative theory that suggests a significant portion of the interesting signals are electrostatic in nature , not carrying the penetrating power of an audio - frequency radio wave . that means you want the antenna away from other conductors like trees and bushes that can shield the antenna from the desired signal .\nthe crowd for the brian rutenberg opening reception and preview was as colorful as the incredible works on view . it was clear that the lingering excitement from brian\u2019s lecture the night before brought back many enthusiasts to enjoy another evening full of festivities and , of course , brian and his wife katie\u2019s charming presence .\nthe vlf antenna was near the ground and sloping over the flowers , adjusted for minimal spherics .\nexperience unforgettable views of wildlife , glacial peaks and sunsets as you travel through the old - growth coastal hemlock and cedar forests of whistler and blackcomb mountains . some 50 black bears make their home here , including 12 mothers who share their territories with a growing number of daughters . accompany researcher michael allen as he guides you through some of the most pristine black bear habitat in north america . navigate mountain access roads and rolling green trails in a comfortable four - wheel - drive vehicle to visit active bear dens , day beds and feeding sites \u2013 and perhaps witness evening play between a mother and her cubs !

human plays a more prominent role on the level of imagery . particular to the cremaster universe are a multitude of hybrid beings such as satyrs and other mythical beings , and this very profusion of animal species emphasizes the non - human ambiance of the cycle . likewise , we may understand the more \u201cabject\u201d sections of the cycle \u2014 the myriad of spectacular scenes with curious bodily orifices , prosthetics , and fluids , which cannot be given any closer determination \u2014 as an invocation and modification of the limits of the human . due also to the works\u2019 impenetrability , the cremaster cycle is , in every possible way , a very alien universe . the hybridity of beings is a hallmark of the entire cycle , but since i am focusing in particular on relations between questions of humanity and notions of confinement , i shall restrict my analysis to cremaster 2 , in which this problem is played out most prominently .\narguably some of the most elaborate and significant artworks of the 1990s , the cremaster cycle films employ a unique symbology and an indulgent , complicated approach to narrative that are each inherent to the barney\u2019s practice . not to be missed !\nspector , nancy . \u201donly the perverse fantasy can still save us . \u201d matthew barney : the cremaster cycle . nancy spector , ed . new york : guggenheim museum publications , 2002 . 2 -

release a welcome return to true theatrical repertory programming . the last time the cycle toured nationally was in 2003 following the completion of cremaster 3 . fans have now waited seven long years for another opportunity to see this extraordinary body of work .\n4 . surely , this sense of hermeticism also stems from the fact that the films are only seldom shown to the public and are exceedingly expensive to acquire . my concern here is with the thematic issue of inhumanity examined by cremaster 2 and i am thus not focusing my attention on the cycle as a particular aesthetic universe or on the institutional and financial structures of its production and reception . see keller and ward for a critical examination of the paradoxical mix of avant - garde and blockbuster strategies of the cycle . see also the official homepage for an impression of the universe of the cycle : urltoken .\noriginally posted by filmfansea palm pictures customer service is telling callers that the full cremaster cycle won ' t be released on dvd until 2004 ( probably in the spring ) . they obviously don ' t update their website very often . . .\nhas anyone heard of when the release date will be for the cremaser cycle ? i was on the palm pictures web site , and there is no mention of it .\nin conjunction with the current exhibition come as you are : art of the 1990s , the blanton is pleased to present a series of special screenings of matthew barney\u2019s the cremaster cycle from march 15 - 19 , during the week of sxsw . filmed out of sequence from 1994 to 2002 , and produced in tandem with related sculptures , photographs , and drawings , cremaster takes its name from the male cremaster muscles , which regulate testicular contractions due to external stimuli such as temperature and arousal .\nthe cremaster is a muscle that raises and lowers the testicles . matthew barney uses the descension of the cremaser muscle as a metaphor for the appearance of male sexuality .\ni think you are right . the order is an interesting release ( still haven ' t seen the multiangle ) probably testing the waters a bit to see how the cremaster cycle will sell . although i don ' t think money is at the heart of the matter for m . b . considering the way he gets money thrown at him by institutions like the guggenheim to make art . however palm pictures have a vested interest in these selling well . if they put the cycle out on dvd it will probably be an amazing set with lots of extras , as well as costly most likely . if you are really interested in his work the cremaster cycle is available as a hardcover book . it covers the entire cycle and is meant to be a companion piece to the films . as are the sculptures etc . . . i recommend picking this book up while it is still available , if you are really interested in the films .\ni just rented the order from cremaster 3 from netflix - it ' s about a half hour section from the cremaster 3 film , with director commentary . the commentary explains the meaning behind some of his wild images but says little about the actual filming and participants .\ni never thought i would be one of those people slating something on amazon , but here goes ! i have titled this review as a pointless release , pointless for me in that it is only a thirty minute extract from the end of the third part of the cremaster cycle .\nalex : yes , that mantovani - style music \u2026 i feel as though it\u2019s been tattooed on my brain after hearing it continuously for 40 minutes . like the music in the rest of the cycle it was composed by jonathan bepler , who pays homage to different styles from easy listening , like here , to grand opera in the next film , cremaster 5 . cremaster 1 was a much less gnarly proposition than cremaster 4 , which ended with some tumour - type thing being unpleasantly probed with needles .\ncremaster 2 is a chapter in barney\u2019s major work , the cremaster cycle ( 1994 - 2003 ) , which is made up of five films : cremaster 1 - 5 . in addition to the five feature length films , the cycle includes photographs , drawings , sculpture , and installations forming part of each of the five episodes . without attempting a proper synopsis of this complex film , it is nevertheless relevant to my discussion that barney takes up the myth in the gilmore family that harry houdini was in fact gary gilmore\u2019s grandfather , with whom he identified a particular notion of freedom through self - transformation . in the film houdini is played by norman mailer , who in his the executioner\u2019s song relates this family myth of kinship .\n5 . art historian and curator nancy spector gives the most thorough exposition of the expressions , effects , and recurrent themes in barney\u2019s work ; indeed , her analyses of the individual performances , installations , and films are indispensable for working with this strange universe . see spector for an interpretation of the overall issues in the cremaster cycle .\ncremaster 2 . matthew barney ( dir . ) new york : barbara gladstone , 1999 . film .\nfilled with hundreds of matthew barney ' s fantastical images , this comprehensive volume , which accompanies a major exhibition at the solomon r . guggenheim museum , surveys the popular artist ' s cremaster cycle\u0097an epic five -

hour cremaster 3 , a movie which , under most circumstances , is its own endurance test . this was the film that put the whole cycle on the map for me , when it had something akin to a traditional run in 2003 . it played at film forum in new york and i remember seeing the name on the marquee and , not knowing what a cremaster was , wondering why they\u2019d be showing the third part of a horror franchise .\nmy point here is not that barney with cremaster 2 necessarily shares this idea of the convict representing the bravest and invincible segment of a generation . but barney\u2019s preoccupation with gary gilmore and his imagined indefiniteness is indicative of the forcefulness and creativity held by the alien , the shapeless , and the inhuman in cremaster 2 and in barney\u2019s work in general .\nthe cremaster cycle should be seen not just as a major american work of art but as a real piece of american cinema . it is in another league from the video and film installations that have become so central to contemporary art , which function , and only aspire to function , in museums , protected from the dirty mayhem of mainstream cinema .\na dialogue with the team that made matthew barney\u2019s cremaster cycle possible . panelists : gabe bartalos , prosthetic makeup and special effects specialist ; linda labelle , costume designer , weaver , and fiber -

part film , the cremaster cycle . what followed became a passionate exploration into the symbolism , mystery , and intricate process behind the cycle . the result of his endeavor , i die daily , will become the definitive document on the cremaster cycle as well as the most comprehensive study on the rise of barney as a star in the contemporary art world . the press and public are invited to meet filmmaker matthew wallin in an opening reception for the artist on friday july 18th from 6 : 00pm - 10 : 00pm , followed by an event to raise finishing funds for the film on saturday july 19th at 5pm . at the fundraiser , matthew wallin will screen 30 minutes of footage from the film , and will discuss his experience making the film with a slideshow of images . both the opening reception and the fundraiser will take place in the 911 media arts gallery . the exhibit is curated by misha neininger , executive director at 911 seattle media arts center .\nas an artist , he harnesses an impressive narrative talent to a private world\u2014half medical -

enclosed aesthetic system , and the project is rife with anatomical allusions to the position of the reproductive organs during the embryonic process of sexual differentiation . \u201ccremaster 1\u201d represents the most ascended , or undifferentiated , state ; \u201ccremaster 5\u201d quite the opposite . the cycle returns over and over to those moments during sexual development when the outcome of the process is still unknown , and which represent in mr barney ' s mind ' s eye a state of pure potentiality .\nthe marathon screenings are being done in conjunction with the museum\u2019s exhibition \u201c storylines : contemporary art at the guggenheim , \u201d featuring work from the permanent collection that explore storytelling . of course , mr . barney\u2019s unconventional narrative , which can be interpreted differently depending on the order in which it\u2019s viewed , was a shoe - in . the show opens today and runs through september 9 . screenings for the cremaster cycle are free with museum admission .\nthe acclaimed five - part cremaster cycle is an evocation of the creative process by sculptor and performance artist matthew barney . although the five films were not created in chronological order , and each one comprises a completely realized work in itself , together and in numerical order they follow a geographical path from west to east and trace a metaphorical path toward fully developed form .\nbarney\u2019s cremaster cycle sculptures share a common link in that they are derived from the multi - layered narratives of the project as a whole . panelists discuss how contemporary art incorporates narrative and fantasy . panelists : richard flood , chief curator , walker art center ; molly nesbit , professor , vassar college ; and louis neri , independent writer and curator .\nalex : yes , i feel as though we\u2019d had a pretty rare experience \u2013 especially as precious few of the people there with us at 10 . 30am seemed to be there as we emerged over nine hours later . i felt absolutely exhausted afterwards \u2013 while i\u2019m fairly sure i just let a lot of it wash over me , the cremaster cycle is challenging .\nbarney had plenty of stories to tell , and they were all eccentric . people began referring to him as the wagner of contemporary art because , like wagner , barney operated in a mythological language that seemed willfully irrational , and he had a plan for a cycle of works ( the five ' ' cremaster ' ' films ) that would take years to complete . the hubris alone seemed wagnerian .\nfrom this conceptual point of departure barney creates epic , dramatic scenes that build off historical and biological models : a chorus line of dancers forming the outlines of reproductive organs on a football field ( cremaster 1 ) ; a gothic western featuring line - dancing and a prison rodeo staged in a cast salt arena ( cremaster 2 ) ; elaborate scenes of destruction and creation from new york\u2019s chrysler building and the guggenheim\u2019s frank lloyd wright building to the shores of the scottish hebrides , starring richard serra and aimee mullins ( cremaster 3 ) ; musings on the notion of drive , featuring a motorbike race set on the isle of man ( cremaster 4 ) ; and a lyric opera starring ursula andress complete with a baroque budapest opera house and hermaphroditic water fairies in a pool of pearl bubbles ( cremaster 5 ) .\ncinema and art have circled each other , squared up to each other , over the years , but only occasionally come together , as here , convincingly . at the heart of the cremaster cycle , halfway through cremaster 3 , is a homage to dali and bunuel . we see a horse - and - trap race , gorgeously filmed in the early morning mists of saratoga springs racecourse in new york state . only gradually , close up , do we realise that the horses are putrefying carcasses , zombie horses , like the rotting donkey on top of a piano dragged across the floor by two priests in un chien andalou .\nthere are rumors of a cremaster cycle boxed set being released by palm pictures ( and a\npreview\nof the box set , apparently a hoax , was posted on youtube ) but as far as we know there are no plans for a general release of any of the cremaster films . there is a dvd available of the \u201corder\u201d sequence from cremaster 3 , but this is not the entire film . you can find the order dvd at urltoken and other large retailers . from time to time , bootleg versions of barney ' s videos surface , although he and gallerist / producer barbara gladstone have been quick to stop these unauthorized versions ( see coments ) .\nhoist\n, a short film by barney related to de lama lamina , was released on the destricted dvd . i\u2019ve heard matthew barney\u2019s work described as \u201cfilm\u201d and as \u201cvideo\u201d - - which is correct ? the cremaster cycle was all shot on video , but the footage is transferred to 35mm film stock for projection . cremaster 4 was shot on beta sp , cremaster 1 and 5 were shot on digital betacam , cremaster 2 was shot on hdtv , and cremaster 3 was shot on 24p hdtv , a format that records video at 24 frames per second , the same speed that film is shot and projected . what is the \u201cfield emblem\u201d ? the field emblem - - a capsule bisected by a horizontal line - - appears in many of matthew barney ' s films . because of its symmetry , it is used as a symbol for a state of equilibrium . at times , a \u201chalf field emblem\u201d appears , representing a state where one option has gained dominance . the field emblem can also be read as a symbol of an orifice in both its open ( the capsule ) and closed ( the line ) states .\nmatthew barney\u2019s epic film series the cremaster cycle pretty much made him a rock star in the art world . the five elaborate feature length films that comprise the work were made between 1994 and 2002 , and named for the muscle that controls the male reproductive system . ( the one that moves the gonads up and down in response to fear or fluctuating temperature . ) rarely are the films shown together , in entirety , but this summer the guggenheim will give cremaster fans a rare chance to test their enduring love for the divisive work with a series of marathon saturday screenings on july 6 , july 11 , august 8 , and september 5 , from 10 a . m . through 7 : 30 p . m .\nas for the cremaster cycle itself , i\u2019d never seen it other than in still images . my only engagement with barney\u2019s work has been his great drawing restraint show at the serpentine gallery in london in 2007 ; i just missed his last film river of fundament in australia last year . so i was keen to get my hands dirty in the axle - grease and melted rubber of barney\u2019s automobile obsession \u2013 which brings us to the first in the series .\ncremaster 3 : the concluding installment of artist matthew barney\u2019s five - part cremaster film cycle is an epic journey that infuses celtic mysticism with 20th century modernism , blockbuster bombast with hermetic aesthetics . shot at two architectural landmarks\u2013new york\u2019s chrysler building and the guggenheim museum\u2013along with locales in ireland , scotland and upstate new york , cremaster 3 follows the entered apprentice ( barney ) as he endures torture and travails in order to ascend each building . peopled by ogres and gangsters , chorus girls and freemasons , barney\u2019s bizarre universe is never less than stunning . features appearances by sculptor richard serra , hardcore bands agnostic front and murphy\u2019s law , and athlete aimee mullins . the film\u2019s running time is 181 minutes . ( usa , 2002 )\ncremaster , as everyone remotely interested in barney quickly came to learn , is the name of the muscle that raises or lowers a man ' s testicles in response to temperature . ( the refrigerator in ' ' blind perineum ' ' - - the perineum is the tissue between the anus and the genitals - - was an early allusion to it . ) working out of sequence , barney completed the first ' ' cremaster ' ' film , ' ' cremaster 4 , ' ' in 1995 . next came ' ' cremaster 1 ' ' and ' ' cremaster 5 . ' ' they were wordless , except for increasingly lavish soundtracks by jonathan bepler , a serious young composer from brooklyn whom barney came to rely on . ' ' cremaster 1 ' ' was 40 minutes long ; the others , longer . they were shown on video monitors , along with his sculptures , as part of elaborate installations , or sometimes they were screened by themselves in theaters . barney also sold the films as limited - edition laserdisks , which he elaborately packaged so that they became sculptures .\ni reserve my whole judgement until i see the order in its context . until the whole of cremaster is released , avoid this dvd ! i think barney is very cleverly getting people eager to see his cycle by refusing us the luxury of a complete dvd release . however , unless you are desperate to see some of it , don ' t buy this . matthew barney , stop messing around and let honest people see the lot ! !\nyes , cremaster 3 had weirdness in spades . the lobby of the chrysler building becoming the site of a violent series of car crashes and then the tower itself turning into a giant maypole ; the woman cutting potatoes up with her shoes ( weird shoes being another strange piece of symbolism throughout the cycle ) ; the final sequence where the irish giant finn maccool chased the scottish giant fingal from ireland , throwing a rock at him which turns into the isle of man , taking us back to the first film , cremaster 4 ; it\u2019s so dense in symbolism that it\u2019s impossible to see whether this is a system in its own right , or just an accretion of myths that make sense to barney alone . or is he just yanking our chains ?\nif you have never seen the cremaster films or any of barney ' s other works , this luxurious book may leave you a little bewildered . even if you have seen the films , you may still be a little bewildered , or , at least , dazzled . this is quite the most voluptuous book i have in my collection , from the translucent plastic overlay to the cut - away pages , the whole thing just adds up to an art object , even more than the comprehensive catalogue of the cremaster cycle that it is . the photography is perfect , the colours and reproductions superb and the layout invites you to spend hours looking . the texts at the back and front are very short but informative . i also have several of the individual books which went with the films and exhibitions , but none of them approach this book in oppulence .\nvery useful book for writing an academic paper on the cremaster cycle that includes a lot of attention to barney ' s autobiographical reasons for why the cycle was created where and how he intended , as well as some lovely full - colour posed photo stills that i have yet to find in online image databases . great supplement to viewing the entirety of the films , but no substitution to seeing the work itself ( as any good film - based work should be ) . i highly recommend this particular piece of documentation to anyone looking for further insight on barney ' s creative process ( or a\nsparks notes\nfor the content of the individual films ) as well as anyone writing on this intense , expansive , and complex work .\ni too am looking forward to seeing this get released but suspect it ' s still a way off especially as order : cremaster 3 has just been released on dvd recently so i suspect they will try to get ' mileage ' with this before they release the whole cycle . palm pictures have that that release date listed for months and certainly don ' t update their website that often .\nthis , the first in barney ' s five - part cremaster cycle of films ( but the second made ; the cycle is not numbered in chronological order ) , blends the choreography of a busby berkeley musical placed in an off - kilter context , and in so doing reminded me of the coen brothers ' movies , with the slow - paced weirdness of early david lynch . none of the cremaster films employ dialogue - - they are essentially visual / aural experiences . this one suffers badly from poor cinematography , on several occasions being just on the edge of going out of focus . of course , that might have been intentional . moreover , the print i viewed was in bad shape even though it was advertised as being\nbrand new .\nif it was , then the master it was made from must be in a sorry state indeed . there is no plot to speak of ; after all , this is an\nart\nfilm , so one just has to sit back and enjoy the imagery . how one interprets it is purely subjective , of course , although the overriding emphasis on genitalia and reproduction is impossible to miss . i consider this the weakest film in the cycle , but fortunately it is relatively brief at forty minutes . rating : 5 / 10 .\nset in new york city and narrating the construction of the chrysler building , which is itself a character : the host to inner , antagonistic forces at play for access to the process of ( spiritual ) transcendence . these forces take form in the struggle between hiram abiff or the architect ( played by richard serra ) , and the entered apprentice ( played by barney ) , who are both working on the building while reenacting scenes from masonic mythology . the film pauses midway for a choric interlude which rehearses the initiation rites of the masonic fraternity through allegorical representations of the five - part cremaster cycle , all staged in the guggenheim museum . features aimee mullins as the entered novitiate . ( 182 min . )\nthe troubling thing is that the cremaster cycle ' s layers of myth don ' t add up . they are mutually contradictory . you could ( if you were mad enough ) follow each line of thought and produce a single reading of the series of films and accompanying sculptures and photographs , but that is beside the point . barney ' s aesthetic is one of overload . there are simply too many images , too many ransackings of history and religion , to digest .\nthis is possibly the biggest book you ' ll ever own , i ' m talking bigger than yellow pages . for that reason it was delivered to my door in a bright green sack . i found this only added to the whole cremaster experience . if you ' ve seen the films this is a must ; but would probably be lost on anyone who hasn ' t . it is the largest art work i have ever seen and it ' s influence on me just goes on . barney is great ! the book is a work in it ' s self , printed so beautifully it takes you right back to the awe and wonder . buy it ! worship matthew barney and tremble before the glory of the cremaster cycle .\nonly the last section of cremaster 3 . . . from the busby berkeley dancing lambs of the first degree to the fifth degree and richard serra ' s re - enactment of his lead flinging work using warm vaseline you will not have seen anything quite like this . even as a part of the cremaster cycle it is a revelation - except that i may never understand what it reveals exactly . the image of the ' the order ' or entered apprentice ( somehow having been transformed from the first entered apprentice having his teeth smashed out with an ornamental horses bit at the race track / in the chrysler building and the teeth being transformed through his disemboweled rectum ) standing on the podium with an altered ' bear skin ' hat and a face stuffed full of linen towel ( or apron ? ) will haunt me forever . it is an image fest so saturated in barneys mythology that it should be nauseating - but it just isn ' t . maybe i ' m giving too much away ? a box set of the whole cycle ? god , lets hope not . their limited availability serves to keep them unique .\nit\u2019s fair to say that for two decades now the american performance artist , film maker and sculptor matthew barney has been one of the most influential artists in the world . his global reputation really started in 1994 with the first of five films in his cremaster cycle , an imaginative tour de force in which a cast of characters that included a tap dancing faun with floppy ears , more than one professional dominatrix , harry houdini and a notorious murderer , acted out the biological process by which sexual differentiation takes place in the human embryo .\nthe cremaster cycle is somewhere in between a traditional film and an art installation . it isn\u2019t too easy divining a plot , but each entry offers a great deal of \u201cbusiness\u201d to follow , usually oddly dressed characters trying to accomplish some sort of strange task . this can range from chopping up a room full of raw potatoes with bladed shoes to a kit of pigeons bringing a man\u2019s penis to erection with ribbons .\ni don ' t think they ' re testing the waters . i could be wrong but i believe the deal to release the order was in place with lion ' s gate before palm announced they were releasing the whole cycle . since palm is also the theatrical distributor , and the theatrical release was very successful and extended through the winter , they ' re probably holding off releasing the dvds until it ' s out of theaters .\nalex : the cremaster cycle is named after the muscle that controls the height of the testicles ; i\u2019m sure every man has noticed its operation when swimming in a cold sea ( or less pleasantly , getting socked in the balls ) . according to the sheet we got at the screening , the numbers of the films correspond to \u201cthe height of the gonads during the embryonic process of sexual differentiation\u201d \u2013 one is the least descended , five the most . this was number four and it was a pretty male experience \u2013 all that racing around the isle of man ( the name probably significant too ) ; the closeups on leather - clad crotches and burly fairies . the film opened with barney , playing the satyr with prothetic ears and nose , carefully combing fire - engine red hair over some raised , rather anus - like protuberances , before crashing through a hole in the pier and into the sea \u2013 where he kept tapdancing on the sea bed .\nok , it ' s weird . but the cremaster cycle is much more than a pose or a series of eye - popping images . it is beautiful , disturbing , of our time , aspiring to be eternal , sensually in love with the textures of modernity - plastics , synthetics , nylon - yet longing for the ancient mythic resonance of honey , beeswax , salt and ice . it is cinema , sculpture and performance , and it is a significant work of art .\nparts of ' ' cremaster 2 ' ' are laugh - out - loud silly , intentionally or not , but mostly the film is dark , the colors dense , the images kaleidoscopic and solemn - - beginning with an image of a saddle , which segues into a frozen landscape that mirrors the saddle ' s form , later becoming the film ' s best special effect : a recreation , with choir , of the mormon tabernacle . if you ' ve seen a few other barney films , you begin to spot familiar images - - the women on horseback at the salt arena echo the dancers in ' ' cremaster 1 ' ' ; the inside of gilmore ' s car is like the tunnel in ' ' cremaster 4 ' ' - - and these recurrent motifs create an incantatory effect .\nhe cremaster cycle by matthew barney is the first truly great piece of cinema to be made in a fine art context since dali and bunuel filmed un chien andalou in 1929 . it is one of the most imaginative and brilliant achievements in the history of avant - garde cinema . it really is avant - garde , with scarcely any dialogue and a tottering megastructure of myth and symbol , from mormonism to masonic ritual to celtic legend . but it ' s not like those artists ' films you sit through because you should , nor is it is only fun when projected as a zany installation . the five films - particularly the most recent , cremaster 2 and 3 - are in a class and a universe of their own . as norman mailer , who appears in cremaster 2 , said after seeing it :\ni enjoyed it . how could you not enjoy it ?\nas noted above , it is a common observation that the freedom of the human is what makes it human . in cremaster 2 , barney has , however , employed the figures of the convict , the escape artist , and some memorably \u201dnon - animal\u201d animals to complicate the ways in which we tend to employ captivity as framework when imagining the in - and non - human . if we were to understand , as i will suggest , houdini\u2019s last words in cremaster 2 as a poetological mission statement for barney , we might say that cremaster 2 is an experiment in altering the common conceptions about the human\u2019s humanity in much the same way as houdini treats his captivity . for barney , houdini and his escape artistry are then not merely a way of showing that human life always entails both limitations and attempts at escaping those limitations . houdini\u2019s role in cremaster 2 is also to make visible how we continuously produce the human , the inhuman , and the animal , in an on - going negotiation of confinement and freedom .\nalex : i thought the rubber thing emerging from barney\u2019s backside was his prolapsed guts after the evil freemasons forced the compacted chrysler imperial ( which in turn carried the corpse of gary gilmore , now turned into a woman ) into his mouth as he sat half - naked in a dentist\u2019s chair ? fortunately the goo from his intestines became a strange sausage - shaped life force which allowed him to get up and progress to the next stage of the cycle \u2013 the climb up the balconies of the guggenheim in his guise of the entered apprentice .\ni have had a quick surf to find out barney ' s reasons for releasing this extract , but have not yet found the answer . i unfortunately missed screenings of the entire cycle ( twice ! ) and would still love to watch it in its entirety . all i have to say about the order is . . .\nart is supposed to stick in your mind , and sometimes your craw . barney ' s films do both . in the end , the ' ' cremaster ' ' cycle can be seen as an allegory of the creative process itself , with sexual identity as a metaphor within it , but not the only metaphor . ' ' i ' ve begun to see the five parts differently , ' ' barney says at the end of our conversations , in his office at the studio , surrounded by plans for the next ' ' cremaster . ' ' ' ' i ' ve begun to see them in terms of having an idea in ' 1 , ' rejecting it in ' 2 , ' experiencing a kind of narcissistic interlude in ' 3 , ' panicking in ' 4 ' and resolving the idea in ' 5 , ' which ultimately kills the thing .\nbut i came to think that barney , the actor , is only what you see on screen ; he is not necessarily the subject of his work , a distinction worth making with someone for whom the body is a flexible metaphor . in fact , ' ' cremaster 2 ' ' doesn ' t really have much to do with gender or sexual identity in the end . if it is at all autobiographical , it is in a different sense . the west is represented by the isolation and insularity of the mormon hive . barney , the boy from boise , left the west for new york and a life as an artist . he once described boise to me as ' ' a valley full of pressure , the pressure of that wall of mountains combined with the great distances between places : it was something to overcome . ' ' ' ' cremaster 3 , ' ' the next and last film to be completed in the cycle , will take place in manhattan .\nokay , i just got my hands on the order dvd and i have to say it ' s pretty neat . it ' s really modeled after the exhibit shown in the guggenheim . it has the option of viewing this section of the movie as it appears in cremaster 3 or viewing the individual degrees separately as displayed in the guggenheim installation . i have to say , it ' s really really cool , but now i want the cycle on dvd more than ever . i was this close to getting it on bootleg when i heard there would be a legit version coming out . please . . if anyone here knows anything about the release of this box set , share .\n' ' cremaster 2 , ' ' his first feature on high - definition television , transferred to 35 - millimeter film , at 79 minutes , is by far his most extensive undertaking . peter strietmann , his cameraman , told me that he shot 17 minutes of tape for every minute used , a ratio far beyond barney ' s previous norm . ( the ratio for ' ' cremaster 4 ' ' was 1 to 1 ; for ' ' cremaster 5 , ' ' 7 to 1 . ) big - budget hollywood movies average 12 to 1 . barney can afford to be extravagant because his operation is otherwise extraordinarily lean . the total cost of ' ' cremaster 2 , ' ' a ravishing and extremely peculiar picture , was $ 1 . 7 million .\nde lama l\u00e2mina premiere ! by invitation of the local afro - brazilian carnival club cortejo afro , artist matthew barney and musician arto lindsay paraded with their own trio - el\u00e9trico on the night of february 22 , 2004 as part of the carnaval de salvador da bahia , brazil . providing barney a self - described \u201cdetox\u201d after the highly controlled world of the cremaster cycle , the musical trio , entitled de lama l\u00e2mina ( \u201cof mud a blade\u201d ) , integrated the cortejo afro percussion group with hundreds of dancers as well as guest percussionists and carnival singers and paraded along the beach circuit near the old center of town . the work was staged as a performance , but scripted and filmed for later exhibition . the film\u2019s running time is 55 minutes .\nclick safari in the menu bar at the top of the screen , then preferences .\narchitectural metaphor is also an important element of \u201ccremaster 3\u201d , the last of the cycle to be shot . the longest\u2014at nearly three hours\u2014and most accomplished of the five films , it takes place mainly in new york ' s chrysler building and the guggenheim museum itself . at one point , five 1967 chrysler imperials encircle a 1930 model of the same car in the chrysler building ' s lobby , then drive into and smash the older model to pieces , the lobby filling with smoke from their squealing tyres . meanwhile , mr barney , as a character known as the entered apprentice , climbs into the building ' s lift shaft and fills one lift , bucket by bucket , with cement , creating an ashlar\u2014a masonic symbol of perfection\u2014 that eventually causes the lift to plummet to the bottom of the shaft . for this betrayal of the masonic code , the entered apprentice is fitted with a set of metal dentures retrieved from the remains of the destroyed chrysler imperial .\ni asked him one afternoon an obvious question , whether the ' ' cremaster ' ' series is on some level about his own sexuality . ' ' sure , it has to do with my own identity , ' ' he answered . he uses a particular medical analogy : in utero , there ' s a period when a person ' s sex is still indeterminate , the fetus seeming to have the potential to be either sex , before the testes have descended or the ovaries settled . plenty of images in his films and many of his sculptures imply body parts that relate to this theme - - the goal posts on the football field in ' ' cremaster 1 ' ' are schematic versions of the still - undifferentiated reproductive system ; motorcyclists on the isle of man in ' ' cremaster 4 ' ' trace ascending and descending paths . ' ' cremaster 5 ' ' ends with a scene in which barney ' s character ' s testicles descend into a pool of water .\nthe tableaux were created for \u201criver of fundament , \u201d a movie almost six hours long that is the most ambitious undertaking by mr . barney since the \u201ccremaster\u201d cycle , the symbol - saturated films made beginning in the mid - 1990s that established him as one of the most important artists of his generation . as with those films and much of his work since the early days of his career , the new film functions on its own but also as a dynamo for spawning , shaping and superimposing meaning onto a body of sculpture . that body , about 85 works and more than seven years in the making , is on display for the first time in the united states , at the museum of contemporary art in los angeles . the exhibition opened sept . 13 and is to be the only american stop for the work , shown first in munich and hobart , tasmania .\nfirst , this is fantastic news ! i will be counting down the days to see it on the big - screen . . second , i guess he would rather people enjoy the fuzzy , low - quality bootlegs of\nthe cremaster cycle\n( which are now easily attainable ) , rather than release them in all their true glory , with great sound and visuals on dvd ? ugh . c ' mon , mr . barney ! hell , they ' re even up on youtube right now ! okay , i ' m done ranting . : )\nthe five \u201ccremaster\u201d films that form the core of the guggenheim exhibition take their name from the testicular muscle that responds to temperature , external stimuli or fear . the erotic and the athletic have always come together in mr barney ' s universe , though his explorations of it are now bigger , better financed and more elaborate than they were a decade ago .\nmatthew barney is perhaps the most brilliant artist of our time and yet also the most elusive . this comprehensive catalogue of the cremaster cycle , his stunningly ambitious and multi - faceted narrative based on the descent of the gonad cells , tries to explain clearly both the narrative itself ( nancy spector ) and provide a glossary ( nevill wakefield ) on the diverse symbolism in the works from tt bike racing and tap dancing to freemasonry and hard - edge punk rock . a treat is to see barney ' s working sketches , story cards and polaroids which belie the obscurism he is often accused of . this is a wonderful , rich and accessibile catalogue for admirers of barney and anyone interested in real contemporary art .\nin 1995 , when the new york times first reviewed of one of artist matthew barney\u2019s cremaster cycle films , his indulgent and elaborate five - part film epic , critic michael kimmelman asked , \u201cwhat\u2019s the idea ? who knows for certain , besides mr . barney ? maybe if you squint hard enough , you can read into the film some abstract fertility ritual\u2026 it\u2019s frustrating and prolix , but also alarming and amusing . it has an elaborate and opaque symbolism , involving ancient myths\u2026 which mr . barney has adapted to his own mysterious purposes . \u201d\nit\u2019s a shame that there\u2019s no easy way to see certain parts of the cycle again , as i\u2019d definitely like to return to some of the films one day \u2013 particularly 3 , the centrepiece . i guess the fact that it\u2019s a massive , slightly macho labour is part of the concept though \u2013 lots of the work it about the will to power and the clash between nature and society \u2013 or in our case , falling asleep or leaving to go out in the sunshine versus wrapping your head around a nine - hour art film ."]}

rupert was played by the rather mature lewis cody , while adolphe menjou made an early appearance as his cousin , count von luzau - rischenheim .\nrufus wright has appeared in many west end productions , including journey\u2019s end and the donmar warehouse productions of mary stuart and frost / nixon . his film appearances include quantum of solace and he has worked extensively on tv , in comedies such as the thick of it and extras , and in many plays and readings on bbc radio .\nqueen flavia , dutifully but unhappily married to her cousin rudolf v , writes to her true love rudolf rassendyll . the letter is carried by von tarlenheim to be delivered by hand , but it is stolen by the exiled rupert of hentzau , who sees in it a chance to return to favour by informing the pathologically jealous and paranoid king . rassendyll returns to ruritania to aid the queen , but is once more forced to impersonate the king after rupert shoots rudolf v . in turn , rassendyll kills rupert , but is assassinated in the hour of triumph by one of rupert ' s henchmen\u2014and thus is spared the crisis of conscience over whether or not to continue the royal deception for years . he is buried as the king in a state funeral , and flavia reigns on alone , the last of the elphberg dynasty .\ntrue to the spirit of the adventure novel , anthony hope took an enormous chance by giving up a safe career in the law in 1894 to become a full - time writer . although by most people\u2019s standards hope was a popular success , he suffered bouts of despondency during which he feared his talent would desert him . his masterpiece the prisoner of zenda did not fail him , however ; it became one of the most popular english novels ever written , appealing to all classes and nationalities . by the 1930s half a million copies had been sold world - wide , and in that same decade it was re - published in the first wave of the new , cheap paperback editions that emerged ; it continues to sell as such to this day . moreover , hope sold the film rights to the prisoner of zenda and to rupert of hentzau , and both have been filmed and adapted for tv and radio a number of times since .\nthe next moment he had his revolver in his hand \u2013 none too soon , for rupert of hentzau\u2019s barrel faced him , and they stood thus , opposite to one another , with no more than three or four feet between the mouths of their weapons . there is , indeed , much that may be said against rupert of hentzau , the truth about him well - nigh forbidding that charity of judgment which we are taught to observe towards all men . but neither i nor any man who knew him ever found in him a shrinking from danger or a fear of death . it was no feeling such as these , but rather a cool calculation of chances , that now stayed his hand . even if he were victorious in the duel , and both did not die , yet the noise of the firearms would greatly decrease his chances of escape . moreover , he was a noted swordsman , and conceived that he was mr rassendyll\u2019s superior in that exercise . the steel offered him at once a better prospect for victory and more hope of a safe fight . so he did not pull his trigger , but , maintaining his aim the while , said :\nthe story is set within a framing narrative told by a supporting character from the prisoner of zenda . the frame implies that the events related in both books took place in the late 1870s and early 1880s . this story commences three years after the conclusion of zenda , and deals with the same fictional country somewhere in germanic middle europe , the kingdom of ruritania . most of the same characters recur : rudolf elphberg , the dissolute absolute monarch of ruritania ; rudolf rassendyll , the english gentleman who had acted as his political decoy , being his distant cousin and look alike ; flavia , the princess , now queen ; rupert of hentzau , the dashing well - born villain ; fritz von tarlenheim , the loyal courtier .\ncast : henry ainley [ rudolf rassendy ii / rudolf v ] , jane gail [ queen flavia ] , gerald ames [ rupert of hentzau ] , charles rock [ colonel sapt ] , george bellamy [ count von rischenheim ] , warwick wellington [ lieutenant bernenstein ] , douglas munro [ bauer ] , stella st . audrie [ the chancellor\u2019s wife ] , jeff barlow , eva westlake\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\non screen , rupert as a character has been played by matinee idols such as ramon novarro ( 1922 ) , douglas fairbanks , jr .

( see also lord haw - haw . )\nthe role of fate and destiny hang like a shadow over this tragic story , but the dark tone gives hope an opportunity to flesh out his characters . rassendyll is pushed to the limits of his heroics , whilst always having a conscience over the deception that he must assume . hope , in common with other writers of the day , infused into his character the 19th - century english public school spirit , where honour and doing one\u2019s duty are paramount , even at the expense of love . hope helped to create the world\u2019s image of the strong , silent , noble englishman . rassendyll became a literary type , and as such is often imitated , perhaps influencing the make - up of later british fictional heroes , such as james bond .\nexcellent silent version - in the first half perhaps superior to the talkie versions in opening out the story cinematically . colman ' s look in the 1937 version was clearly derived very strongly from lewis stone ' s in this . ramon novarro is the most malevolent rupert . as usual , michael and antoinette are miscast age - wise : he should be under 27 , she at least in her 30s ( probably 40 - ish ) , but they are always filmed as ' older man / younger woman ' ! stuart holmes and the tragic beauty barbara lamarr ( she died of a mixture of tb , drink and drugs a few years later at 29 ) nevertheless give creditable performances and their relationship seems more convincing than in later film versions . there are , however , some annoying comedy touches with the servants josef and hans , and a bizarre addition to the plot with a dwarf assassin trying to kill rassendyll . . . this isn ' t petrine russia ! and why the station signs were in cyrillic instead of fraktur is boggling : ruritania is a german - speaking , catholic country . . .\nown all of the previous ' mission : impossible ' movies to watch at home for just $ 3 . 99 each with ticket purchase . buy tickets\nrassendyll is forced to travel to ruritania to help the queen , and is then forced to take the place of the king once more following his assassination .\ncurrently , restrictions on the delivery of files to mobile devices mean our download titles must be downloaded to a desktop computer and then transferred to the mobile device .\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out the latest videos and trailers , and see which spy movies topped the box office in our mission : impossible guide .\nthis article is issued from wikipedia - version of the 11 / 8 / 2016 . the text is available under the creative commons attribution / share alike but additional terms may apply for the media files .\nthis article is issued from wikipedia - version of the 11 / 1 / 2016 . the text is available under the creative commons attribution / share alike but additional terms may apply for the media files .\n\u2018i\u2019m not a street bully , and i don\u2019t excel in a rough - and - tumble . will you fight now like a gentleman ? there\u2019s a pair of blades in the case yonder . \u2019 ( chapter17 )\neven in this early us version , the cast was rather , ahem ! , mature , as a glance at the advert will prove . james k hackett played both the rudolfs and beatrice beckley princess flavia . the scots actor david torrence played michael , with mina gale haines as antoinette . frank coulter played sapt , and william r randall fritz von tarlenheim . walter hale played rupert . tom callahan and frank shannon presumably played smaller supporting roles .\nj . m . barrie said that anthony hope \u2018made more people happy than any other author of our time\u2019 . the books are still in print today \u2013 testament to hope\u2019s ability to provide much - needed escapist happiness far beyond his own time .\nlike stuart holmes ( the 1922 michael ) , david torrence also played , at around the same time , another doomed young man from an 1890s novel : alec in tess of the d ' urbervilles . i can only boggle at that casting crime , too . . .

of which a lot , of course , ends up happening over the course of the film .\none of my favorite characters is mr . belvedere as played by clifton webb . a man that is a genius and knows everything about anything including raising children but very little patience for kids . so the idea of webb raising a dozen little ones was interesting . the film about the gilbreth family , in the early 20th century turns into a wonderful family picture as webb is mr frank gilbreth , a man concerned with efficiency . a role perfect for webb . gilbreth is a very strict and opinionated man about how to do things quicker and faster . gilbreth even has opinions about the quickest way to operate on tonsils , even though he is not a doctor . the best way to prove his theory is to film the mass operation of eleven children and himself . the whole film truly centers on the love of a man for his family and webb is the perfect person for this picture . the ending is a sad event because the film takes the time to develop lovable characters that you care about . a film well worth the time to sit and have a bag of popcorn and\nsoda pop\nand don ' t forget your dog . enjoy !\nwe always thought of ourselves as our parents ' ' dozen , '\ncarey wrote .\nthis included mary .\nwhile some might be critical of this movie for being\noverly cheerful and sappy\n, i find\ncheaper by the dozen\nand movies like it of their time a haven in today ' s sexualized , blow ' em up assortment of trash . this movie is pure entertainment . you don ' t have to think . just sit back , laugh and enjoy .\ni have seen the 1950 version of\ncheaper by the dozen\nperhaps a dozen times ! it is a delightful glimpse of influential family life in the 1920 ' s . there are too many children , but this movie is funny because of clifton webb , who was a master of comedy in his detached , upper crust style , as in other movies such as another classic ,\nmr . belvedere .\nseems like\nwe\nhave gotten too sophisticated these days to appreciate the innocence of movies like this one . there was laughter , a little love - interest , problems with kids , certainly sadness , and coping with so many children . but , it is appealing because there is no blood and guts , no explicit sex scenes and no foul language . this movie is a classic !\nfood and animal attraction : the kids prank the nora ' s boyfriend by dipping his underclothes in meat and setting the family dog on him .\nbefore filming began , schmidt was given the choice by the prop department to play either the trumpet or the clarinet . having had experience with the clarinet in his school ' s music class , he opted for that . however , the second film required more strenuous training , so schmidt spent a month in a hotel in toronto taking clarinet lessons .\n( 1950 ) is the story of frank gilbreth , an industrial engineer and efficiency expert , and his wife lillian , a psychologist , who are raising a family of 12 children in the 1920s . gilbreth uses his brood as guinea pigs for his motion study and efficiency theories , with many comic complications , while his wife is the mediator and voice of reason . the film is episodic rather than plot - driven , but it ' s a great showcase tailored to the talents of clifton webb and myrna loy .\nscreenplay : lamar trotti , based on the novel by frank b . gilbreth , jr . and ernestine gilbreth carey\nworse , the move is scheduled to coincide with the national tour to promote the new book about the family by tom ' s wife , kate ( bonnie hunt ) .\nparents need to know that cheaper by the dozen , which is set in the 1920s and based on a true story , offers a rosy look at parenting a very large family , but surprises at the end when one of the principal characters dies ( off camera ) . the death is unexpected and significantly changes the upbeat , life -

guided karma by beating them up . it still gets them punished both by their principal , and then by tom , who grounds them .\nhere ' s my old copy of cheaper by the dozen right here . the bright orange binding is worn through to the cardboard , there are grape juice stains all through chapter 3 , and a couple of pages are stuck together with what still , incredibly , smells like peanut butter . god , i loved that book . i read it over and over again as pure escapism . i was an only child curled up at the end of the sofa , imagining what it would be like to have 11 brothers and sisters .\nmark is seen late in the film tending to beans and at one point begging him not to die . unfortunately , he does die and the argument that follows sarah ' s rude outburst causes mark to run away .\ntom baker , the steve martin character in\ncheaper by the dozen ,\nhas a good heart and loves his wife and kids , but that leaves him with a few promising character flaws . he is incapable of inspiring discipline , for example , and would sacrifice his family to his ambition . he ' s a football coach for a cow college in midland , ill . , but is offered the head coaching job at lincoln university in evanston . we ' re supposed to think of northwestern .\nmatt osterman\u2019s allegorical thriller , written by its star , cleopatra coleman , flirts with topicality on several fronts .\nadoption diss : mark ' s nickname of\nfedex\nis used by his siblings to imply this .\nthere never were a dozen kids . while the gilbreths did indeed produce 12 children , according to the plan famously hatched on their honeymoon , the second - oldest , mary , died of diphtheria in 1912 at age six , which means that she died around the time the sixth child , bill , was born . which means that there weren ' t even 12 children , then later 11 - - there never were a dozen .\nin the first chapter of belles on their toes , the children are lined up to see their mother off on a trip . it ' s a poignant scene , something they did regularly in cheaper by the dozen for their father , but are now doing as their mother tries to take her husband ' s place in the professional world , and there ' s a roll call of the children ' s names . at that point , rather than working around mary ' s absence , the authors acknowledge it in a terse footnote - - the only mention of her death in the text of either book . from then on , belles is about the eleven .\ncheaper by the dozen is based on the true life experiences of a family with a dozen children , although when watching the film you have to suspect that some of these\nevents\nwere embellished for the sake of laughs rather than accuracy . and clifton webb , in stiff collar and still bossing everyone around , reminds one of mr . belevedere with a family . still , he ' s the main reason for watching this highly sentimental illusion of what family life was like in america in the early 20th century . the film itself is no more than a series of vignettes , just glimpses of humorous minor events that happened in a family where the father ruled the roost while the mother ( myrna loy ) took care of the children and her husband , not necessarily in that order . myrna loy and jeanne crain ( as the oldest daughter ) , don ' t have much to do and crain is a bit simpering and coy in a role she was really too old to play . but most of the kids have some good moments and it ' s all over in a brisk 86 minutes , so no need to squabble about too many dull moments . if you like clifton webb as an eccentric and overbearing efficiency expert , you ' ll get a lot of amusement from this one .\ncommon sense is the nation ' s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information , education , and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century .\nclifton webb is a joy in this delightful film , based on a true story , of an eccentric genius and his twelve children . the color is gorgeous , and the interior design of the family ' s new jersey home ought to have won an oscar . myrna loy is solid as webb ' s patient , loving wife , and jeanne crain energetic as his spunky daughter . there isn ' t much story here , as events unfold naturally , as they do in life , and one isn ' t always sure where the film is going . early twentieth century america is captured in all its overstuffed , art nouveau - ish glory , as the film ' s plot , irregular , often going off on odd tangents , perfectly mimics that style of design so popular at the time . the movie is really about the end of an era , as we see the very tail end of the gilded age turning into the roaring twenties , and with it the death of the old paternalism , at times stiff , occasionally charming , perfectly embodied by mr . webb ; and there is an awesome sadness at the film ' s conclusion , as we see a man and his era pass into history .\n6 / 10 i haven ' t watched this film in a really long time , and i remember very little . what i do remember , however , was he interesting family dynamic , the pretty good performances , and the tragic ending .\nthe drawing of the galaxy in the beach house is m - 51 , the whirlpool galaxy .\nthe 2003 version with steve martin and bonnie hunt is not actually a remake , and has only the title and size of the family in common with this earlier movie which was inspired by the real gilbreth family .\nleonard maltin classic movie guide , copyright 2005 , 2010 . used by arrangement with penguin group ( usa ) inc .\ngangster and blitz both played gunner in the first film , but when the second one came around , gangster retired . blitz and another dog stepped in to play the role in the sequel . schmidt also shared that both he and martin brought their dogs to set , and , miraculously , all the canines got along .\n. while the bakers are watching tom ' s interview by fox sports , he looks into the camera and says ,\ngo to bed , kids !\nkate turns the tv off and sends the kids to bed .\nthe shadow of the boom mic is visible in the dining room at the nantucket summer home scene .\nmajor injury underreaction : dylan gets a injured by a grown man falling on him . it was still his best birthday ever .\nfirst - rate performances by clifton webb and myrna loy as father and mother shine like jewels in the midst of leon shamroy ' s rich colour photography .\nthe way the gilbreths ' theories of scientific management and time saving sometimes worked and sometimes didn ' t when applied toward large scale childrearing lend cheaper by the dozen much of its charm . pet tactics of frank sr . ' s such as calling a\nfamily council\nto discuss important decisions , playing french language records while the kids brushed their teeth , or painting morse code on the walls of their vacation home are treated with an adult ' s fond but unsentimental eye : sometimes a hassle , sometimes inspired examples of their parents ' professional work , sometimes funny in their unintended aftereffects , and sometimes undeniably useful in raising and training a household of so many kids .\nwhile the crew would\nturn around the universe\n\u2014 a . k . a . switch the cameras and lights to the other side of the frame \u2014 the baker patriarch would go to his trailer and play the banjo on the steps . though it was just for his own amusement , the kids eventually gathered around him to listen . schmidt said that martin loved to see how much the kids were enthralled by the banjo .\nmark does this by running away after beans dies , saying no one cares about him and it ' s not until the evening of the same day that anyone notices he has gone .\nan orphaned girl is taken in by a snobbish family at the insistence of their rich , crotchety uncle , even as her devoted aviator godfather fights for custody .\nrule of pool : invoked by the kids as the first part of the plan to get rid of hank when he first arrives , resulting him in being tripped with a garden hose and landing in a paddling pool .\nwe love the idea of a dozen , are loath to give it up , though i ' m still not sure why . maybe it ' s the idea that such a very large number of kids seems mutinous , always on the edge of taking over , especially in numbers that can be counted like troops . or it ' s the symmetry , or the postwar abundance it spoke to . maybe it ' s the excess so many children embody : so many personalities , all those daily needs , and - - in the end - - so much warmth . many people love these books as kind of a surrogate family . maybe they give us a chance to gawk at that many genetic throws of the dice , test our own ideas about nature and nurture - - although cheaper by the dozen is hilariously sanguine about the forced show - pony quality of living in such a family . which is why i will always find their decision to take the 12 idea as big as they did odd . the crack in the center of the conceit will always throw the book off true just a bit , making some hypnotized child reader wonder in the back of his brain what adults aren ' t telling him .\nin as i remember lillian gilbreth wrote that after mary ' s death , frank\nnever could answer the question ' how many children have you ? ' without stopping to calculate ,\nwhich seems to sum up the enduring mystery about mary ; not her existence , but how different versions of the truth are allowed , even encouraged , to live alongside each other , even within cheaper by the dozen . you ' d think they would have been piercingly aware that there were 11 , not 12 , but this certainly matches what seems now to be the case . mary ' s death was both a horrible blow and a uniquely papered - over one - - for public consumption , in the context of her parents ' work , and within the family .\nhey , i liked\ncheaper by the dozen .\nthese actors are skilled at being nice . it ' s just that the movie settles when it ought to push . consider the bonnie hunt character . here she ' s reasonable , exasperated , and loves that lunk of a husband . but compare her work here with what she did in\nstolen summer\n( you remember , that 2002\nproject greenlight\nmovie i recommended , but you ignored my review and went to see\nsorority boys\ninstead ) . in that one she was the mother of a large irish catholic family in chicago , where she had edge and sass and was not afraid to smack a potty - mouth up alongside the head .\nwebb , who had begun his career as a ballroom dancer and became a star of the broadway musical stage in the 1910s and 1920s , had also become a hollywood star by the mid - 1940s . in 1948 , he created the character of the comically supercilious babysitter mr . belvedere in\ni have just seen this film for the first time and was charmed by the slightly drifting plot , the beautiful sets , and first - class acting from clifton webb and myrna loy . only the typically 50 ' s freckly - faced children grated somewhat ( just a personal dislike ! ! ) . but such a contrast between this gentle humour and the ' in - your - face ' style of the steve martin remake , which is admittedly good in its way , but with its modern setting cannot hope to characterise the situation of the real family . there ' s an interesting parallel between this father and christopher plummer ' s character in the sound of music . cp portrays a man who finds it difficult to express emotion , and regiments his children to avoid dealing with their individual needs . clifton webb ' s character is very loving in his own way , there is real concern that the children be equipped for the adult world , and his relationship with his wife shows a delightful tenderness . i thoroughly recommend this as a family film , if you ' re not too jaded by modern crassness to appreciate it !\nbut the gilbreths , intentionally or not , planted just enough clues for generations of readers to be forever curious about mary , even if that ' s the last thing they wanted . in the preface to the most recent harperperennial paperback edition of cheaper by the dozen , carey ruefully describes the effects of curiosity , a trait vigorously encouraged in the gilbreth family , which led to the book , and thus to a lifetime of endless questions from readers .\nwhat a range of queries , personal and professional , now confront me . here are examples of a few : ' what happened to your sister mary ? after a while , you and your brother forgot to mention her . why ? did she die , maybe ? if she did die , then i want to hear how , please . '\nshe doesn ' t provide any answers , though , leaving mary the missing puzzle piece for which kids will always be scrambling .\npoor ashton kutcher ' s character had his underwear soaked in meat and was attacked by dogs , but the kids didn ' t know the actor was playing hank until the day of shooting . schmidt was thrilled to see kutcher , since they had just worked on the butterfly effect together .\nthis movie is an excellent slice of life back in the day . the father and the mother were both pioneers in motion studies and took on the challenge of raising a dozen children according to their precepts of high educational and moral standards and this movie concerns the various humorous situations that occur throughout the years including the woman who was told that the mother would be a good\nfamily planning representative ,\ndemocratic family meetings , the father ' s insistence that the girls wear old fashioned bathing costumes at the beach , the father ' s stand against make up and new - style undergarments . sadly , the father suffered a fatal heart attack while traveling and we get to see the family pull together to enable the mother to carry on with the family business .\nas mark is leaving for school at the start and tells kate he doesn ' t feel like he fits in the baker family , kate tells him he does fit and hugs him , then seconds later gets distracted by nigel and kyle wrestling on the lawn .\nvery charming , low - key film . it wasn ' t really long enough to get to know and differentiate between the necessarily huge cast , but i liked them all well enough that i found myself wishing it was a tv show that could develop all the characters at leisure . kind of felt like a tv show in the lackadaisical pace and lack of any strong conflict . was thinking about what a pleasant slice - of - life film it was with less than 10 minutes to go , when it suddenly veers into tragedy . kind of wish they ' d just stopped it before that since it didn ' t fit the tone up to that point and they didn ' t give adequate time to deal with the trauma .\nthe staircase / entrance way with the green wall paper and double doors under the landing to the left is the same staircase / entrance way used in the tv series dark shadows . the green wall paper is not there in dark shadows , but it ' s the exact same set .\ntom and kate baker ' s five girls and seven boys add up to a family rich in fun , laughter - and barely - controlled chaos ! but when tom lands an exciting new job , and kate goes on tour to promote her new best - selling book , the dozen siblings revolt , turning the clan upside - down .\nexiled to the couch : implied . before mark is revealed by kate to have run away , kate tells tom\nfeel free to sleep on the couch\n. tom replies\nyou read my mind\n, implying he was going to anyway .\nbig families headed by loving , but strict parents can be successful . at the same time , when kids assert their independence reasonably , parents must learn to be flexible . in times of crisis , families should stick together .\nanother factor in the decision not to talk about mary appears to be the blow that her death was to her father ' s sense that the vagaries of the world were manageable , even conquerable , through the principles of industrial engineering . in the 1949 biography frank and lillian gilbreth : partners for life , edna yost claimed that frank ' s\nwas not the normal reaction of a man to death , for this death was his first forced admission of failure in a project to which he had given his utmost .\nfrank , wrote lillian gilbreth in as i remember ,\ninsisted on trying his techniques , but it was no use . . . . for the first time in his life [ he ] faced a situation which he could not master .\ndave ferguson , an engineer who runs the gilbreth network web site , a clearinghouse for information on frank and lillian ' s work that ' s not formally connected with the family but is run with their approval , says ,\nyou have to understand that the gilbreths - - particularly frank - - did not accept death as a natural course of things .\n( a constant theme in cheaper by the dozen is that illness was considered a weakness . )\nthe song\nsweet lelani\nthat tom black is strumming with his ukulele on the beach was actually written by harry owens for his daughter in 1934 , many years after the time that this movie is set . it also won an academy award for best song in 1937 when it appeared in the movie , waikiki wedding ( 1937 ) .\njudge william hooks cited the defendant\u2019s \u201cremorse\u201d for the crime , but the victim\u2019s loved ones say that claim rings false .\na little girl named star lives with a lighthouse keeper who rescued her when her parents drowned . a truant officer decides she should go to boarding school but she ' s rescued by relatives .\ndespair event horizon : after the segment with oprah is ruined , kate and tom have all but stopped talking , the children are all at each other ' s throats and mark ' s beloved frog suddenly dies . and then mark runs away , fed up with all the fighting and feeling neglected by his family .\nalso , you may be defending your brother by beating up his bullies , but that doesn ' t mean you won ' t get punished for it . namely , a trip to the principal ' s office and then being grounded .\non the shelf in the living room is a picture of the real life frank gilbreth in uniform as an army major during wwi . this is visible outside the makeshift operating room during the mass tonsillectomies .\nby mike sula , kate schmidt , holly greenhagen , kathie bergquist , martha bayne , julia thiel , michael gebert , gary wiviott , david hammond , susannah j . felts and elizabeth m . tamny\nthe chandelier contractor after he falls off the ladder and sees the chandelier about to fall on top of him . again .\nthis is the way all movies should be and rarely are . top notch casting , great character development , a solid story , and a fantastic script prove that you don ' t need explosions , blood and guts violence , wall - to - wall profanity or t & a to make a great movie . the cast really makes this film fun . clifton webb takes the lead with his usual terrific acting as the head of the gilbreath household of the 1920 ' s . myrna loy ' s calm portrayal as mrs . gilbreath and jeanne crain ' s energetic eldest daughter needing to break the old - fashioned mold offset the father figure ' s old - fashioned attitudes wonderfully . the cast of children as well as the school chums round out the ensemble . botton line : this movie is well worth the time to watch and very much worth the money to own .\nthis movie is a good , clean , entertaining movie that all can enjoy . although it is 54 years old , it would be enjoyed by children and teenagers of today . it lets todays kids see how previous generations lived and acted during their daily lives . i just wish that today ' s generation still had some of the old family values . the dance scene at the school gym , is a must to see . plus , kids today would have a fit if they had to wear the clothing that was worn back then . the vacation scene showing bathing suits of the era has to be seen to be believed . i just wish the movie had been longer . by far , the original movie is a lot better than the newly released version with steve martin .\nthe point here , by the way , is not to meanly spotlight a family tragedy or make mary\nnot count\n- - if the gilbreths found the inclusion of mary comforting rather than creepy , who am i to judge ? - - but rather to tackle some of the sadness one can feel as a reader at the constant rounding up to 12 , the lingering curiosity about the spectral 12th child . it scarcely seems possible that , as dave ferguson speculates ,\nit would have been hard to notice one was missing .\nwhile the bakers played apple schmear , football and baseball were the pastimes on set .\na highly episodic comedy with little in the way of a solid plot and certain segments which are dragged on beyond what is necessary , the film is nevertheless good overall , with some really amusing bits in the mix too . clifton webb is very good as the fuddy - duddy father of the gang , and he adds a few extra sparks to the material . based on true happenings , it surprisingly seems very fictitious , however that is not really a factor that subtracts much from it . i am yet to see the 2003 remake and i cannot say that i really want to - a modern updating of the material is only likely to ruin it . part of what makes it work is the sense of nostalgia that it has .\ni enjoyed the movie . it is a little corny in places , but damned good , and it is able to show that a better world might exist . also , the gilbreth boy who seems to be about twelve years old looks like michael eisner , but that name is not in the credits . comments ? somewhere along the way , the pinhead pushers of rot have taken over our entertainment and made it ugly and political . it seems that in allowing more license that the subtleties of a good story are lost . good new movies seem to be less and less frequent . ten lines yet ? i noticed that one of the persons commenting thought the whole thing was awful . my guess is that the person is young and is from some big city where the values seen in the movie have been replaced by modern vulgarities , and in fact are made to seem nothing but things imagined by a writer .\nthe parents of 12 kids are shown as loving , reliable , and committed to their children ' s education and good behavior . the father ' s over - involvement is tempered by the mother ' s restraint and wisdom . set in 1921 gender roles are old - fashioned ; the father thinks he has the final word . however , it becomes apparent that mrs . gilbreth is a highly educated woman who will later find great success in the business world . no ethnic diversity .\nuntil her water breaks in the middle of the final event and she finally has to admit she needs to go to the hospital .\ntoo bad we get 88 mins of the former and only 2 mins of the latter .\ntom at the beginning during breakfast when he sees beans in the lamp above the table , with mark reaching towards it with his net .\nschmidt , who reunited with stoner earlier this year , said he sees his movie sister often and that they ' ve collaborated on projects . he also sees hilary duff , who played lorraine baker , pretty regularly . ( his and duff ' s moms actually have a talent agency together . ) the other nine kids from the film live in different parts of the country , so he ' s not able to hang out with them as often as he ' d like . at least there ' s facebook !\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out the latest videos and trailers , and see which spy movies topped the box office in our mission : impossible guide .\nfilmmakers follow the spanish chef albert adri\u00e0 as he works to open the restaurant enigma in barcelona .\nchemistry between the stars , steve coogan and paul rudd , aids the poignant and pithy script , which is based on the director\u2019s own experiences .\nthe beloved classic harbors a mystery , but only the most attentive readers ever seem to notice .\nthis light comedy is based on the real - life story of the gilbreth family , whose scientist father runs the house and twelve children on a firm but regimental scale . clifton webb is dad and myrna loy is mum , and they make a convincing couple , and the switch from the comic to the tragic is deftly handled , setting the scene for the sequel belles on their toes .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\nloy agreed with crain ' s description of webb , an inveterate scene stealer , who used stage tricks like moving around and forcing her to move off her marks . after cinematographer leon shamroy blew up at loy for ruining the shot , a chastened webb behaved , although he never apologized . loy shrugged it off , and they remained friends , but according to loy , when webb watched her do an emotional scene he was not in , he accused her of trying to steal the film from him .\nfatal flaw : pride is tom ' s throughout the film . he moves the family to their new home simply so he can pursue his dream job and look good in front of shake . he also tells kate he can handle looking after the kids by himself when she goes to new york . cue an oh crap from him when she tells him she ' s gone for at least two weeks , and he has to ask nora for help , which means she has to give up time from her new job . understandably , kate is quite angry with tom when she comes home . and all of this ends up leading to mark running away . when tom catches up to him , mark tells tom he didn ' t keep his promise of them becoming a happier and stronger family .\nclay spencer is a hard -

chan yun is not a bad director . in fact , i think he has a great film in him somewhere . i have concluded this by watching the 2 - disc special edition of his 2001 film\nsorum\nwhich contains a supplemental disc , featuring three english - language student films done by yun in college .\nsorum\nis aesthetically great , but lacks an actual script . elements of horror and drama creep in an out , but nothing sticks , and nothing gels . the film is filled with great images , but nothing ties them together . the film has some potentially interesting characters , but either gives them incredible lapses of logic or leaves them underdeveloped enough to not matter .\nhowever , drums always beckoned him back . upon finishing a two - year stint rocking with the cult , sorum found himself in the studio with mckagan and slash . the three shared a chemistry that could never be matched , and they founded velvet revolver . with scott weiland of stone temple pilots singing , sorum released two explosive albums with velvet revolver\u2014contraband in 2004 and libertad in 2007 . world tours saw the band etch a legacy of their own buttressed by the hits \u201cfall to pieces\u201d as well as \u201cset me free\u201d\u2014propelled by a riff matt wrote . in addition , \u201cslither\u201d garnered the band a grammy for a \u201cbest hard rock performance\u201d and the band received another three grammy nominations . contraband also debuted at number one on the billboard top 200 , selling three -

kwan seized control of the country . the resulting political oppression produced a socially conscious underground film movement that addressed the violence , economic decline , and administrative corruption that consumed the country for over seven years . this artistic counterculture continues to stimulate , inspire , and educate today ' s filmmakers .\nthe movie explores some of the same socially unacceptable themes as acacia : the major difference between the two films is that sorum just doesn ' t go anywhere . unlike acacia , which develops its plot beautifully with lots of eeriness and tension , sorum fools you into thinking that something is going to happen - any moment now - and time after time it fails to hit you with the scare which is so badly needed . it ' s like a two - hour joke without a punchline . it took exactly one hour and sixteen minutes before a single character even said\nthere is something strange going on in this building\n- which is just not an acceptable time - to - interest value ratio . too little happens for too long . it works - just about - on a drama level , particularly during the incredibly depressing final half - hour , but if you want your horror to be scary , at least in some form , this is not the movie for you .\nbetween the madness of touring with velvet revolver , sorum recorded his first solo record , hollywood zen\u2014a pensive , poignant and poetic offering that saw matt singing as well as playing guitar and drums . as if that weren\u2019t enough to keep him busy , he also joined los angeles\u2019s coolest cover band camp freddy with jane\u2019s addiction\u2019s dave navarro . camp freddy\u2019s los angeles shows have become legendary with guest appearances ranging from ozzy osbourne and corey taylor of slipknot to juliette lewis and chester bennington of linkin park .\nany good things about\nsorum\n? well , i did give it a 2 / 10 rating so those 2 points came from somewhere . i thought the cinematography was excellent , but wasted . the apartment building was definitely a visual - horror to look at , but also wasted . chang jin young and kim myung min are obviously talented , but once again . . . wasted . the package design for the dvd was neat , but guess what . . . . you guessed it , wasted .\nofficially moving on from gn\u2019r in 1997 , sorum brought his talents behind the board . he produced a top 40 single for poe entitled \u201cangry johnny\u201d as well as tracks \u201chello\u201d and \u201ca rose is a rose\u201d for hollywood records . realizing he had a natural knack for bringing the best out of artists , he formed orange curtain productions with his partner lanny cordola . together , they completed six film scores and produced platinum - selling artists including candlebox , sen dog of cypress hill , little milton and ronnie spector .\nsuch influence is evident in sorum ' s first scene , where young taxi driver yong - hyun ( kim myung - min ) , struggling to make ends meet , moves into a decrepit building in a rundown section of seoul . most of the walls are adorned with graffiti , the corridors strewn with trash , and the pervasive sound of dripping water hints at a plumbing nightmare . the ceiling of yong - hyun ' s apartment shows signs of smoke damage , a reminder of the building ' s terrible past .\nthat paragraph about as much sums up the film ' s narrative focus , too . yong - hyun ( played by kim myung - min ) moves into this apartment building , and . . . something ensues . i ' m honestly not sure what , exactly .\nsorum\ntakes us on a tour of what yong - hyun ' s life is like in action , and much like the apartment building where he now lives , there isn ' t a whole heck of a lot to look at .\nthe main complaint i can come up with regarding\nsorum\nis that , speaking as someone who spends quite a bit of time in environments that most foreigners would consider unsavory , the slums of seoul really aren ' t that bad . well , today anyway . this movie is a dozen years old , so who knows what ' s changed since then . still , people are relatively friendly and well - animated , and there ' s nowhere near the soul - crushing here that i was accustomed to in american suburban environments .\n\u201cfulbrights are incredibly competitive , and the success of abrar , theresa , and tim reflects their stellar records as students and leaders , \u201d sorum said . \u201cnot only is this exciting news for the three fellowship winners , it is also great news for umass boston . i am so glad that tim , abrar , and theresa will be ambassadors not only for our country , but also for our university , bringing further recognition to our amazing students , both past and present , and to the world - class work that is done here . \u201d\n\u201ci don\u2019t know how i felt initially because i can\u2019t say it was a shock , but i definitely wasn\u2019t expecting it , because i felt scott was gonna be here longer than this , \u201d sorum told sirius xm\u2019s lithium . \u201cpeople know that in the end , we had our differences and the band split up , but the wave of emotions that you feel is more like a family member ; it\u2019s like if you had a family member that maybe you didn\u2019t get along with great but you still loved them , so that\u2019s the feeling . \u201d\nof course , that bit of opinion is entirely irrelevant to this movie ' s merits . as a film ,\nsorum\nis an effective look at the discouraging underbelly of an apparently pointless life , and the nonchalant actions people will undertake just out of circumstance . it doesn ' t generate any of the kind of emotions one might be hoping for from a more casually accessible movie about the greater points of fear . regardless , its thematic elements are solid , and worth the effort for anyone wanting to get a stab at the motivations behind general despondency .\nthe apartment complex that is the backdrop of most of the action in\nsorum\nis a dank , unsettling , somewhat discouraging abode . it ' s the kind of rundown building people who don ' t have a lot of money end up staying in . ugly stains , rough edges , and random litter abound everywhere in the building . the walls are an unsightly eyesore - nothing grotesque or horrifying , just kind of ugly . and yet , there ' s a certain character to it that ' s a bit appealing . maybe not so much as a building designed to be pretty , but more so than boring white walls anyway .\nsnowblood apple rating for this film : entertainment : 2 / 10 . i sat through this entire movie . ph34r my l337 staying powerz0rz ; -

office clout . led by such smash hits as\n- - all of which drew more than two million viewers - - korean cinema has approached a 50 % market share in 2001 . with hollywood films accounting for less than 40 % of the market , korea has become just about the only place in the world where local films outdraw hollywood .\nnonetheless , the presence of so many blockbuster films has not meant the death of more artistic work . visitors to the 2001 pusan film festival who had heard that korean cinema had\ngone commercial\nwere pleasantly surprised by the high number of original , quality films on display . films such as\nhave been eagerly sought after by foreign festivals , and korean cinema ' s rapidly expanding talent base gives hope that the industry will continue to make good films long into the future .\n* includes tickets sold in 2002 . market share : korean 50 . 1 % , imports 49 . 9 % ( nationwide ) films released : korean 65 , imported 306 total attendance : 89m admissions number of screens : 818 ( nationwide ) exchange rate ( 2001 ) : 1276 won / us dollar average ticket price : 5 , 860 won ( = us $ 4 . 59 ) exports to other countries : us $ 11 , 249 , 573 average budget : 1 . 62bn won + 0 . 93bn p & a costs source : korean film council ( kofic ) .\nthese are some reviews of the features released in 2001 that have generated the most discussion and interest among film critics and / or the general public . they are listed in the order of their release .\n) . in their first crack at romantic comedy , sol and jeon take on parts which , although lacking the emotional extremes of their previous roles , form the very heart of this charming film .\nsol plays a lovesick bank teller who can ' t get marriage off his mind . he records videos for his future wife , telling her how curious he is to find out who she will turn out to be . when he meets a former classmate ( played by\n) , he thinks he ' s finally found his match . jeon , meanwhile , plays a teacher who works across the street from his bank . after a few accidental meetings , she works up the courage to ask him out , but is rudely rebuffed .\nis a much different kind of movie . content to revel in the ordinary , it lingers on unimportant details and its heroes ' various quirks . although at times this comes at the expense of plot , it imparts to the film a sense of honesty , as well as an unhurried pleasure . by the latter half of the film we begin to feel quite intimate with the characters .\nultimately this movie feels like a comfortable old pair of jeans . while it makes little effort to leap out and grab one ' s attention , viewers will be pulled in by its light humor and the way it makes its characters ' lives feel so familiar . (\nand saw the couple sitting by a tree . at the sight of that image , i immediately flashbacked to the top - grossing korean film of 1997 , lee jeong - guk ' s\n, to me , exemplifies a melodrama gone wrong , horribly cheezy and forced . still , it was successful at the korean box office , so perhaps those in charge of marketing\n) . they are a couple who very much wants a child but have had trouble conceiving . when they are finally successful , with the help of modern medical technology , their fantasies about the family life they feel should emerge are challenged by further obstacles that arise . the film becomes a story on how this couple processes their adversity and how it strengthens rather than weakens their bond .\n. it comes close at moments , particularly due to the lesser performance of lee sung - jae who initially fails in making the playful moments that lovers share convincible . such is disappointing because lee ' s previous work in bong joon - ho ' s\nwas exemplary . still , lee ' s character does grow on you , with the help of a confident performance by ko so - young as his wife , and you begin to appreciate him more . most of the fights and intimate moments between the couple are believable and notable in what they convey about the growth of the characters and the moral dilemmas their predicament poses .\n. kwon is masterful in his comic delivery in a small part as the manager of a store that sells baby items . ( as evidence of his skill , let me note that a smirk just emerged on my face while thinking about his brief appearance . ) i look forward to a vehicle that allows kwon to shine in a feature role developed from his gifted repetoire . kim chang - won also delivers a finely sober performance as the couple ' s doctor and indirect marriage counselor .\npresents a moral quandry that , thankfully , leaves the decision up to the parties most directly effected . while watching the film , i found myself referencing one of my favorite novels by my favorite japanese writer , both of which will go unmentioned because such would risk revealing main aspects of the plot . although very different works , particularly in their intended audience ,\na popular drama and the book a major literary work , there is a similarity in the point of struggle . whereas that book ' s little bird tells a tale of a man choosing an isolated struggle with his responsibility to act on life ' s random trials ,\naddresses the communal struggle of this couple while hinting at the professional quandries and societal constraints around them . considering how important that book is to me , perhaps that is why i was so touched by this film while having no reference points of comparison in my life of involuntary singlehood .\nalthough not every director of melodramas has the patience of hur , the economy of kaurismaki , or both like ozu , han , for the most part , directs a compelling story of love surviving the trials and tribulations that life brings to us , reminding us the fantasy is always far from the reality . and the strong performance by ko ( which won the grand bell award for best actress ) and wonderful supporting roles by kwon and kim keep this film from entering the histrionics and kitsch that all melodramas risk . although arguments could be made for more deserving directors of best of the year honors , han ' s work in\ndefinitely warranted the consideration and his winning of the grand bell for best director is one i can personally live with . (\ngaribong - dong is a district in seoul which has become known for its population of homeless teens . set within this locale ,\ndetails the lives of four young runaways who , despite their differences , join together in an uneasy partnership .\n( 1998 ) . in the mid - nineties , he developed an interest in the lives of homeless teens and decided to live among them for five months , trying to understand them and earn their trust .\nis based on this experience , and although certain dramatic elements of the plot are fictional , im insists that most all of the situations and conversations are taken from real life .\ncaptures the gritty feel of its protagonists ' lives . ultimately , however , the film is less concerned with exposing the excesses of street life than in coaxing us to side with the teens , or at least see life from their point of view . im tries hard to make his heroes seem human and to show us the insecurity behind their tough behavior . shots of abusive parents or cruel employers remind us of the forces that have shaped these kids ' lives .\nyet the film ' s most memorable scenes are probably its quietest , when the kids carouse on a muddy beach or creep towards sexual intimacy . these moments hold enough gloom and beauty to let us picture these kids either in or out of their present lives .\nparticularly worthy of praise are the group of debut actors who star in this film . without their guts and talent ,\nhas drawn interest both in korea and abroad for its unusual story and the fine performances of its actors . its strength at the domestic box - office came as somewhat of a surprise , particularly given that it flirts with the issue of homosexual relationships and the hostile reception they usually receive in korea .\nthe film opens in 1983 , when university student in - woo becomes infatuated with a woman who shares his umbrella in a rainstorm . their developing relationship is presented in fragments that highlight the awkwardness and humor of their situation , and yet the underlying seriousness of their feelings end up forming the crux of the story . after learning that in - woo must leave for his obligatory two - year service in the military , we jump 17 years into the future to find him as a high school teacher , married to another woman . his earlier insecurities appear to have vanished , and he commands the respect of his students for his passion and his willingness to stand up for their rights . . .\ndoes not feel in any way like an im kwon - taek film , the time kim spent as an assistant director appears to have paid off , and he is surely a director to keep an eye on . each of the film ' s three major segments contain vivid scenes , presented in a manner that strips them of their sentimentality . the film ' s opening is striking in its visuals , humor and sadness , while the scenes shot in the present contain an unusual energy . later in the film the mood turns much more serious and issue - oriented , in an unusual plot twist that i omitted on purpose from the above synopsis .\nhas earned great respect for his talent ( as opposed to his looks , which have always attracted notice ) . in\nhe excels , drawing laughs , respect and fear from his viewers in turn . actress\nis also outstanding in her smaller role , with her words and manner establishing the young couple ' s relationship as the key event of their lives .\nthe ultimate question for this work is whether it all holds together , as it unites a myriad of clashing moods and themes . at times it feels uneven , like it tried to cover too much ground , but the originality of this film will ensure that viewers do not soon forget it . (\nis a tragic romance so manipulative that you can almost hear its cogwheels and pulleys clicking and whirring like a well - oiled machine . lee jung - jae (\n) is falling apart . a leaf is turned when he accidentally finds out that jeong - yeon is dying from an unspecified incurable disease . yong - gi , initially devastated , makes a resolution to win the tv gag contest at all costs , all the while hiding the fact that he is privy to his wife ' s secret . intertwined with this sappy disease - of - the - month narrative are dollops of sepia - toned flashbacks concerning jeong - yeon ' s object of childhood crush : gee , who was that cute boy that had stolen her heart in the elementary school ? as linus van pelt once claimed , sugar cubes doused with honey can be a delicacy . but they are better served with a pinch of cinnamon , of course . uwek . . .\nmay be as effective as a canister of tear gas in delivering\nthree - hankie moments\nfor many viewers . even its sub - o . henry plot contrivances are unflinchingly presented , without embarrassment . in fact , i suspect that the filmmakers , especially newcomer director\n, self - reflectively indicate their awareness of the movie ' s shameless melodramatics in the climactic gag sketch , in which the protagonist is seen squeezing his tear - drenched handkerchief like a wet towel .\nis by no means an artistic triumph of any kind and i would hesitate to even call it a good movie , but it is professionally put together , fulfilling the audience expectations to a tee .\ni might have felt more charitable if the pairing of lee jung - jae and lee young - ae worked out better . i personally do not think\n' s characters play to their strengths . lee jung - jae is not really convincing as an aspiring comic , and has trouble conveying the chaplinesque\ntears behind the smile\nquality demanded by the role . ( not that he gets much help from the screenplay )\n' s kong hyeong - jin is woefully underused but still leaves a favorable impression as yong - gi ' s long - suffering stand - up partner . veteran bit players kwon hae - hyo and yi mu - hyeon ( instantly recognizable faces from many , many movies , even if you cannot remember their names ) are hilarious and believable as two entertainment - industry con artists : i would have loved to see their characters expanded . finally , the single most moving scene in the whole movie for me was the bittersweet reunion between jeong - yeon and her high school best friend , ae - suk , played with restraint and skill by ku hye - ryeong . this small scene has the aura of truthfulness that is rather lacking in other portions of this slick but artificial tear - jerker . (\nhit the screens , it lived up to its hype . four high school students in 1970s pusan form an inseparable group of friends , despite their differing backgrounds . years pass , however , and fate and violence combine to drive the four apart and test their friendship .\nis a true story based on the lives of his three childhood friends ( the role of sang - taek , the wealthier member of the group who goes to study abroad , represents the director himself ) . although the tragic story seems in some ways made for the screen , very little was altered in its telling . but it ' s not so much the story that distinguishes this film , but rather the feeling with which it is presented .\none major aspect of this movie ' s power is its cinematography . this has to be one of the most gorgeous korean films of recent years , from cityscapes that resemble watercolors to the graceful shattering of windows and doors . director of photography hwang ki - seok , a relative newcomer to the film scene , should take pride in the work he has created .\nhas been distinguishing himself for several years with remarkable if largely unheralded performances , but this is clearly his breakout film . his acting dominates the movie , despite fine performances from supporting actors and his popular co - star\n. yoo shows an impressive range of emotions in his portrayal , but he also leaves a great deal unsaid , making for a complex portrayal that begs a second viewing .\napart from creating this testament to his friends ' experiences , kwak has also forged a vivid portrait of his native pusan . from the heavily accented kyongsang dialect to elegant shots of its harbor , korea ' s second - largest city is presented here in rare beauty . although made famous by its international film festival , pusan has seldom been presented on screen , making this film feel even more like an urgent , exciting discovery . (\n. audience interest was moderate at first , but with time the film acquired a strong group of admirers and people began to talk about one of the most original films of the year . with interest from overseas festivals running high and the star power provided by its female lead , this film is likely to travel far .\nlately an increasing number of chinese and japanese stars have signed on to act in korean films . in\n, hong kong top star cecilia cheung plays a chinese woman of korean descent named failan who , after the death of her parents , comes to korea to make a living . she pays for a fake marriage in order to obtain a working permit , but is then led unwitting into a bar to work as a prostitute . only by some quick thinking is she able to escape her situation and find a job at a laundromat run by an old woman .\n) , is embroiled in troubles of his own . he dreams of returning to his hometown , but feuds with fellow gang members as his life increasingly nears collapse . one day he receives a letter written in halting korean from his wife , whom he has never met .\nwatching this film develop is in some ways like discovering a diamond in the trash . the story reveals for us emotions which we don ' t expect , but the film is not\nuplifting\nin the usual sense . rather it makes us question feelings which we take for granted .\nseems to have found himself in his second feature . his directing style never overshadows the film , but it provides space for this remarkable story to develop . he also makes excellent use of choi min - shik , perhaps the most talented actor in korea today . unfortunately cecilia cheung ' s character is not presented with the same depth ; this is the film ' s main fault , perhaps attributable as much to the screenwriters and director as to the actress herself . nonetheless\nis one of the year ' s must - sees , and a personal favorite . (\nsurprised everyone with its runaway popularity , drawing mobs of viewers despite its low budget and simple premise . in 2001 , the team behind this film tried to duplicate their level of success with this next feature , and unexpectedly , that ' s just what they did . at the time of this writing ,\nand cha seung - won as two former high - school classmates who grow up into unexpected professions : lee , the smart kid in school , becomes a gangster ; while cha , the school bully , decides to be a physical education teacher ( perhaps that one wasn ' t quite as unexpected ) . relations between the two had always had an edge of competitiveness , but when they run into each other years later in the city of gyeongju , they try to put old rivalries aside for a friendly reunion . all this changes , however , when they meet the outspoken owner of a local restaurant , played by popular actress and model kim hye - soo . kim ' s earthy appeal sets both their hearts aflame , and their latent competitiveness soon transforms into insults , threats , and full - scale street warfare ."]}

bringing in only 6 . 6 million . the other teen movie ctdq is still in 2nd place with 9 . 2 million for this weekend .\nit was pretty annoying being named scott around the time eurotrip came out . everyone thought it was hilarious to say , \u201chahaha ! scotty doesn\u2019t know ! get it ? it\u2019s funny because your name is scott . \u201d\ndespite my praise , the much underrated cast of eurotrip have not encountered anything like the world of success they deserve in the six years since its release . fuck the \u2018superman curse\u2019 , this is the real injustice . see for yourself :\neurotrip is a pointless sequel to a mediocre comedy . this film has a very bad script , bad acting and directing . the jokes are more crude and vulgar , and most of the time are unfunny . this is a very sorry excuse for a comedy and eurotrip scraps the bottom of the barrel in term of good ideas . eurotrip is a rushed film and it ' s apparent that there wasn ' t enough thought to deliver a decent comedy . eurotrip is a poorly stitched together film to make a quick buck off the original , which by today ' s standards has become quite unfunny in it ' s own right . road trip hasn ' t aged well , and with the years has become quite boring , i really don ' t see why they made a second film because this is a plainly yet another lame attempt at trying to mimick the first , but failling miserably , as if it was already a problem . eurotrip can be described simply as a cash grab . simple as that . this movie has nothing interesting to appeal to the viewer and ends up being a pointless comedy with strained jokes that try too hard to be funny , but ends up falling flat . eurotrip is a disappointment that is one of the worst comedies ever made . this is a film that doesn ' t add anything to the first film and is unrelated . this is just another example of a film that tries to cash in on a successful ( but not good ) first film . avoid it .\ni think it sucks that ctdq is doing better because i think that looks hideous . at least\neurotrip\nlooks like funny drivel . this seems like a strange time of year to release it . it looks like more of a summer movie to me .\nfrom this you could choose to conclude that any satirical achievement is accidental \u2013 that an infinite number of monkeys writing an infinite number of teen films will eventually add a self - aware edge to the proceedings \u2013 but instead i put forward the hypothesis that eurotrip is entirely more conscious than it is often given credit for . yes , first and foremost it\u2019s an accessible , broad , consistent teen comedy . but it also tackles ideas way beyond its remit as a piece of frothy adolescent titillation . mocking frat boy ignorance with one hand and applauding it with the other , eurotrip is satire at its most brazenly self - loathing and audaciously entertaining .\ni think we can all agree that the buffy cast members need to start making some better movies . valentine . eurotrip . scooby - doo . darkness falls . wrong turn . it reads like a lengthy roster of suck . you ' d think that actors accustomed to such excellent scripts would know stinkers when they read them .\nalthough she hasn\u2019t appeared in any movies since eurotrip , it\u2019s actually quite hard to judge whether or not jessica boehrs\u2019 career is doing well because most of her subsequent credits have been on german - language tv shows . after all , she\u2019s practically a regular on sturm der liebe and that sounds like the best tv show ever made .\nbut when the film works , it really works . at its best , eurotrip is a remarkably good - natured satire about american complacency . those who find themselves laughing at the film\u2019s london - set scenes , with their improbably placed tube stations ( thamesbridge , anyone ? ) and gangs of meticulously uniformed hooligans , should be under no doubt that they\u2019re laughing with the film , not at it . there\u2019s an all - too - patronising assumption that such silliness must be unintentional\u2014that eurotrip \u2019s makers might , at best , have made something of an accidental triumph , but can\u2019t possibly be in on the joke themselves . such a response requires an almost wilful misreading of the film .\nwell if there was any gloating it was because of michelle ' s snooty attitude towards her buffy past which many of us simply considered ungrateful . and to do that while simultaneously acting like this ' eurotrip ' thing was finally good work she wanted to do . . . . well , it squashes my feelings of sympathy a bit .\njustified and buffy the vampire slayer are two of my favorite tv shows of all - time , but those aren\u2019t the titles i think of whenever i see jacob pitts and michelle trachtenberg . nope , that would be eurotrip , a not - good movie that i unabashedly love . during my freshman year of college , when i wasn\u2019t watching shaun of the dead or anchorman , i was quoting eurotrip , because i am every stupid male college student ever . i\u2019m only half - ashamed to admit that it\u2019s one of my \u201cif it\u2019s on tv , i\u2019m not leaving the couch until it\u2019s over\u201d movies , right up there with goodfellas and\u2026ok , now i want to watch goodfellas .\nit has been ten years since eurotrip , riding the raunchy teen comedy revival of the late \u201990s and early naughts , burst into theaters and exposed an entire generation of teens to a beach full of dangling male genitalia . and even a decade later , those involved with the cult classic are still proud of it \u2014 every sex organ included .\nand yet , sadly , it would be equally untrue to claim that the filmmakers are entirely aware of their genius . for each of eurotrip \u2019s intended punch lines ( \u201cparis is practically a suburb of berlin\u201d ) , there\u2019s an unintentional slip - up that puts into question just how sharp the film really is ( \u201ccooper , england\u2019s an island\u201d ) .\nmr . mechlowicz was on the top of the world back in 2004 , exercising his considerable talents in both eurotrip and the almost - as - underrated indie drama mean creak . since then ? an season one episode of house m . d . , a terrible nick nolte movie and even * shudder * a british horror film . poor scotty .\neven though kristin kreuk has made only one film since her feature debut in eurotrip ( the almost - certainly brilliant street fighter : the legend of chun - li ) her name stills seems to carry some weight , and i was struggling to work out why . until i discovered that smallville is still going . after nearly 10 years ! madness .\nas regular readers of this blog will already know , i have an obsession with the 2004 teen comedy eurotrip that borders on the unhealthy . for my money it\u2019s quite easily one of \u2013 if not the \u2013 greatest comedy movie of the last decade and considering you can pick it up on amazon for under \u00a33 , you\u2019re an idiot if it\u2019s not already in your collection .\ni think the film ' eurotrip ' sounds like trash , howeveri liked the character of dawn ( although far from my favorite ) , i think mt did all she could with the character dawn , it wasn ' t her fault dawn could sometimes be written as annoying . i hope mt goes on to have lasting success , as do the rest of the btvs cast .\narrived in great condition with the other item ( 2x items ) , pacakged ok , unwrapping was easy , dvds were new , movies are great and soo funny im gona really enjoy watching them . cheap product n well worth the price , recommend products / seller . eurotrip - unseen [ dvd ] van wilder 2 - the rise of taj [ dvd ] so happy with this purchase .\nnowadays you\u2019re probably most likely to hear the film mentioned in relation to eli roth\u2019s hostel , to which it is often compared . in his 2006 review of roth\u2019s film , the guardian\u2019s peter bradshaw called it a \u2018humourless , soft - porn\u2019 remake of eurotrip , which he in turn dismissed as a \u2018moderate frat - boy comedy\u2019 . the comparison is understandable : both films feature highly - stereotyped versions of europe designed to satirise american ignorance . but where roth wore his intentions on his sleeve , desperately shouting \u2018satire ! \u2019 at you every five minutes just in case you suspected that hostel was nothing more than exploitation , eurotrip seems positively allergic to the word . its directors make no mention whatsoever of \u2018satire\u2019 or \u2018irony\u2019 on the film\u2019s 90 - minute commentary track , instead describing it as a movie \u2018made for fraternities\u2019 .\nequally unsuccessful is molly schade , whose only role beyond her debut here was in the 2004 short film rift . as a result , a google search for her name yields millions of topless screenshots from her 60 seconds of eurotrip screen time , and not much else . just think , malin \u00e5kerman could just have easily been \u2018that topless girl from harold & kumar \u2018 had watchmen not saved her from obscurity .\nfrom the montecito picture company , \u201ceurotrip\u201d was directed by first -

- his theory is that america was founded by prudes who left europe precisely to get away from hot european sex - - and came back with nothing more than a lousy t - shirt .\nit has been almost five years since i laughed so hard at a movie that my mouth actually hurt . that movie was the original american pie , and since then i have sat nearly stone - faced , witnessing teen comedy reduced to a string of strictly pee - pee and poop jokes in films like tomcats and even the most recent pie sequel , american wedding . but that streak of unfortunate unfunniness came to a much - needed halt when i saw eurotrip , one of the most deliriously funny films in years .\nit\u2019s this dichotomy that makes eurotrip such a fascinating film \u2014 a film in which razor - sharp dialogue and pitch - perfect visual comedy sit uncomfortably alongside an array of painfully tired ( and in many cases , homophobic , misogynistic and xenophobic ) stereotypes , all cloaked in varying degrees of irony . even the film\u2019s most devout supporters would have trouble justifying fred armisen\u2019s predatory gay italian , or the entirely satire - free berlin scenes , in which a small boy goose - steps around a room wearing a hitler moustache for reasons imperceptible to the human brain .\nsherlock holmes will soon find a new ally : justified star jacob pitts will guest -

pillaging adaptation of the cat in the hat , comedy trio jeff schaffer , alec berg and david mandel made their directorial debut on eurotrip , though in the end only schaffer was credited after the director\u2019s guild of america failed to recognise them as a legitimate creative team .

\u201d is without a doubt one of the great comedy readings of all time . mechlowicz too seemed destined for success after the impressive one - two punch of this film and indie drama mean creek , both released in 2004 but offering wildly different performances from a young actor whose only prior role was playing smee in an obscure wil wheaton - starring take on peter pan ( try ebay ) . his easily overlooked performance here is actually deceptively complex , and ( ironically ) his straight - man routine gives rise to one of the film\u2019s most distinctive attributes : its all - encompassing obsession with homosexuality .\nspending quality time with your family is important , and one of the most fun ways of doing that is definitely doing one of america\u2019s favorite past times . that\u2019s right , going to the movies . it\u2019s an economical way of getting together with your parents and hanging out . but sometimes , there are certain scenes or even entire movies that can make things pretty awkward real fast . we have compiled a list in our video of some of the movies that make us cringe near our parents and we recommend you don\u2019t watch them together with your folks . one of the worst on this list is definitely eurotrip . it follows a guy who gets dumped at his high school graduation and goes to europe to meet his pen pal . but this quest is filled with so much inappropriate stuff , we are pretty sure your parents will turn off the television so quick ,\nbritish actor vinnie jones is best known for playing : ' sphinx ' in gone in sixty seconds , ' big chris ' in lock , stock and two smoking barrels , ' mad ' maynard ' in eurotrip and of course , ' juggernaut / cain marko ' in x - men : the last stand , but you ' ll soon know him as daniel\ndanny\nbrickwell in season three of cw ' s comic book - based television series , arrow . according to variety , the former footballer - turned - actor will play the villainous ' brick ' in episodes 10 , 11 and 12 . the character will feature\nthick , invulnerable skin\nand is described as being a\nruthless gang leader who brings star city\u2019s government to its knees . he\u2019s known as \u201cbrick\u201d on the streets because he\u2019s been shot dozens of times but never put down .\nnonetheless , eurotrip has proved a surprisingly enduring piece of pop cultural currency , and not only in the \u00a33 bins of most surburban hmvs ( though it inevitably does well there too ) . sequences like the parisian robot fight and cooper\u2019s hot tub subterfuge seem to be perennially familiar to anyone under the age of thirty , even if they don\u2019t necessarily represent the film\u2019s finest moments . the latter scene was originally conceived while berg , mandel and schaffer were doing rewrites on snowboarding comedy out cold , but they liked it so much that they decided to save it for their own movie . that three professional screenwriters should be so precious about a sequence that\u2019s essentially just an excuse to see an 18 - year - old first - time actress from ohio rubbing her tits for a bit , suggests they might not entirely be the modern - day swifts i\u2019m so eager to paint them as .\nthere ' s mixed news for fans of the league . fxx has renewed the league for a seventh season but this will be the comedy ' s final run . the 13 episodes will begin airing next fall . here are the details : fxx orders seventh and final season of the league 13 - episode final season to run in fall 2015 los angeles , december 9 , 2014 \u2013 shivakamini somakandarkram ! fxx\u2019s hit comedy series the league will return for its seventh and final season with 13 episodes in the fall of 2015 , it was announced today by nick grad and eric schrier , presidents of original programming , fx networks and fx productions . the league , which just completed its sixth season , was created by the husband - and - wife team of jeff schaffer ( curb your enthusiasm , seinfeld ) and jackie marcus schaffer ( disturbia , eurotrip ) who serve as executive producers and directors . the\nin 2009 , everyone took notice of neill blomkamp ' s talents when district 9 became the sleeper hit of the summer . its $ 210m revenue easily surpassed the film ' s meager $ 30m budget . interest in his next project reached a feverish pitch . that project was the 2013 film elysium , which starred matt damon (\neurotrip\n) . it pulled in $ 286m at the worldwide box office against a budget of $ 115 million ( minus marketing costs ) . in 2015 , we ' ll get to see his next offering . it will be chappie , here ' s the official tagline :\nafter being kidnapped by two criminals during birth , chappie becomes the adopted son in a strange and dysfunctional family . chappie is preternaturally gifted , one of a kind , a prodigy . he also happens to be a robot .\nit stars : hugh jackman , sigourney weaver and sharlto copley .\n+ matt damon\u2019s cameo \u2014 as the band leader / guy who steals scotty\u2019s girlfriend , played by kristin kreuk \u2014 came together because the producers knew him from their days at harvard\u2026and he was in prague . in fact , many parts , including jeffrey tambor\u2019s , were filled because the actors were already shooting in prague , where eurotrip was filmed . \u201cno one wanted to fly over and we didn\u2019t have the money to have anyone fly over , \u201d recalled schaffer . \u201cso we basically looked around and said , \u2018who\u2019s filming in prague ? ' \u201d luckily , damon was in town shooting the brothers grimm . not so lucky , however , was that the only night he was available was the shortest night of the summer , so \u201cwe literally had from 10 : 45 at night\u2026and the sun would come up at 3 : 45 , \u201d remembered schaffer . \u201cso we shot it in , like , 4 . 5 hours . \u201d\n+ they had a lot of trouble casting scotty . \u201cit had gotten to the point , literally , where we were going to restaurants , staring at our waiters , \u201d said mandel of the search for scotty . luckily , mechlowicz , a ucla student at the time , \u201crode in on a white horse\u201d to save them from further stress over casting the all - important part . meanwhile , trachtenberg credited her physical comedy in her audition \u2014 which was the airplane scene where jenny climbs over cooper on her way to the bathroom \u2014 to her getting the job offer from the producers . \u201cand i blew them , \u201d deadpanned trachtenberg , who got several laughs from the crowd for her natural eurotrip - style humor . above all , though , producers said it was important to them at the time to cast real teenagers in the roles . \u201cwe didn\u2019t want 35 - year - olds playing high school kids , \u201d said schaffer .\n\u0093eurotrip\u0094 was filmed entirely on location in prague in the czech republic . mandel says , \u0093prague is a beautiful city . just the fact that we were able to double prague for so many cities was amazing . \u0094 berg notes , \u0093the irony is that one city that prague did not serve as in our shoot was prague . but it was london , paris , berlin , amsterdam , rome , vatican city , bratislava and even hudson , ohio . \u0094 despite shooting in and around one city , the production schedule felt more like a trek across europe to the cast and crew . \u0093we were traveling every day , \u0094 schaffer remarks . \u0093it was the wildest thing ; we were never in the same place twice . the fact that we were able to accomplish so much in one city is a tribute to our entire production team , especially our extraordinary director of photography , david eggby , and our production designer , allan starski , who is unbelievable . \u0094\ntime for a special edition of throwback thursday ! in honor of\neurotrip ' s\n10th anniversary on thursday ( feb . 20 ) , we rounded up gifs from the cult classic movie starring some of the biggest names on tv and in movies today . yeah , it ' s been 10 years . commence feeling old now . remember that time a tatted up and pierced matt damon sang a song about doing kristin kreuk behind her boyfriend ' s back at his own graduation party ? ouch . if scotty didn ' t know before , he certainly knows by now : seriously , best song ever ( unless you were scotty , then it was probably the worst song you had ever heard in your entire life ) : and remember that time michelle trachtenberg had to resort to flashing cars to try and get a ride for her and her friends ? and then she unknowingly almost gave all the men on the nude beach a free show , and ended up\nif you ' re a fan of matt damon and matt damon - starring movies , then you ' re most likely also a fan of matt damon ' s cameos . see , matt damon is fond of cameos . he may be one of the biggest movie stars in the world - - leading major hits like the martian and this week ' s jason bourne - - but he ' s also a master at the bit part , the blink - and - you - miss - him role that often finds itself tucked into the corner of some random movie or tv show , just waiting to surprise you . our favorite all - time matt damon cameo might be the only thing you actually remember about the 2004 teen sex comedy eurotrip , about a bunch of high school friends who go on a trip to europe after one of them is dumped by his girlfriend . but it ' s the scene where poor scotty is dumped that stands out . . . read more\nafter a world premiere at los angeles\u2019 iconic mann\u2019s chinese theatre , eurotrip was released across the united states on february 20th 2004 . it opened at number five at the box office , behind mainstream fare like 50 first dates and confessions of a teenage drama queen , as well as hockey drama miracle and ray romano vehicle welcome to mooseport . it was a similar story in the uk , where it opened in less than 100 screens and quickly dropped out of the top ten thanks to a june release date that put it in the vicinity of mean girls , troy and the third harry potter movie . critics weren\u2019t much more favourable , writing it off as a formulaic , if occasionally successful , comedy in the red - text - on - a - white - background vein . paramount\u2019s marketing department were all too happy to concur , and later that year issued a dvd release that looked about as credible as one of those american pie spin - offs that eugene levy keeps putting his name to .\nfor all those who think this is mt bashing at it ' s finest - for the most part it ' s not but being a hollywood observer type most of us know the adage your only as good as your last project . right now buffy is carrying her foreward just as harriet the spy carried her to buffy , but if the films she makes continue to fail at the box office her stock price drops and all she will be able to do is 2 - 3rd rate films or 4th lead on a wb sitcom . we want to see her succeed but we also want to see that she does it in a way that gets her positively noticed eurotrip is not it and for the record lucy lawlaess is also in this film and has garnered more press time then mt has for it - even though her part is significantly small . but have faith cause even michelle pfeiffer made grease 2 and was able to have a career after that , so all hope is not lost . : )\nseveral of starski\u2019s sets were so convincing that they fooled a number of locals , as well as visiting tourists . his paris metro station was decked out with authentic signs and posters and looked so real that passersby tried to use it and were surprised to learn \u0093they couldn\u2019t get there from here . \u0094 visual effects supervisor kevin blank was responsible for completing the transformation of prague into the many different locales needed for the film . through the use of cgi , blank was able to add such familiar sites as the eiffel tower , the coliseum and big ben into the backgrounds of their respective cities . the filmmakers emphasize that this \u0093eurotrip\u0094 is not your parents\u2019 european vacation . \u0093the main thing we tried to do is make sure that our group does things that 18 or 19 year olds would want to do , \u0094 schaffer offers . \u0093they are not doing things they would do with their parents\u0097that their parents would drag them to . they are on their own , so it\u2019s them having fun in ways that kids would have fun . \u0094\nbefore we start , let\u2019s make entirely clear what this is not . this is not an ironic aggrandisation of a trivial film , nor a satirical application of film academia to an unworthy subject . it is not a celebration of a \u2018guilty pleasure\u2019 , and it is definitely not an example of the spurious but inescapably pervasive \u2018so bad it\u2019s good\u2019 genre . instead , this is a study of what i believe to be one of the greatest comedy movies ever made : the 2004 box - office flop eurotrip . it\u2019s a widely underrated film , but that\u2019s not to say that its appeal is in any way niche . rather , it\u2019s a massively accessible laugh - out - loud comedy that for various reasons \u2014 a cast list lacking any real star power ; promotional material that portrayed it as a kind of low - rent boat trip ( if such a thing is even possible ) \u2014 never really connected with an audience . it\u2019s a mess for sure , but a glorious one , and one whose many misconceived elements serve only to heighten the brilliance of its successes .\nwell , almost . the giddy ridiculousness of\neurotrip\nis a pleasant surprise : the picture starts out slow and unsteady in its rhythms . but just when you begin to wonder if it ' s ever going to get funny , or if it ' s going to be merely desperate all the way through , it lifts off like a wobbly helicopter - - and somehow it keeps flying . scott mechlowicz is scotty , who has just graduated from high school ( great ) and has also been dumped by his hot girlfriend ( not so great ) . for years , he ' s been enjoying an e - mail correspondence with a german student named mieke , who he assumes is a guy . what a numbnuts ! it turns out mieke is a sweet young thing who ' s been saving herself for scotty . when she tries to console him , via e - mail , over his breakup , and suggests they find a way to meet in person , he thinks his german guy friend is coming on to him and blocks mieke ' s e - mails .\nsongs written for film ' s fictional pop stars typically miss the mark , but schlesinger has shown it ' s possible to hit the right note \u2022 more from the why i love . . . series you couldn ' t make miley cyrus up ; madonna , britney and divine did it for you . pop music parodies itself all the time , but film finds it tricky . on the surface , film ' s fictional pop stars are in key with their real -

bourne matt damon . all were friends of the filmmakers who agreed to lend themselves to the production for a day or two . kevin smith was also set to appear , but dropped out after it became apparent that filming a simple ohio - set scene would require him to travel to prague .\nwith the exception of a few brief insert shots , the entirety of the film was shot in the czech capital . locations around the city doubled for london , berlin , paris and the rest of the gang\u2019s european tour , as well as the united states , and tax incentives helped to keep production costs down . the blatant inauthenticity of these stand - in streets and composited skylines ( almost certainly not intentionally bad \u2014 mandel & co . are quick to praise the vfx team at any opportunity ) may require some suspension of disbelief on the part of the audience , but they also bring into sharp focus the entire point of the movie : this is not europe , this is what four na\u00efve american teenagers imagine europe to be . and even when the goofs are entirely accidental , there\u2019s an ironic brilliance to them that only adds to the overall effect . upon arriving in london , the teens visit a pub called the \u2018fiesty goat\u2019 \u2014 a misspelling that was mindlessly carried across from script to set design , and shot for two days before anyone noticed the mistake .\nas casting purely in the states was considered prohibitively expensive , a large number of actors were brought on board in the czech republic , with less - than - convincing results . scott\u2019s younger brother bert is portrayed by czech teen nial iskhakov , who\u2019s perfectly funny in the role but couldn\u2019t look much less ohioan if he had three arms and a detachable head . add to that the large number of americans playing europeans characters ( fred armisen , j . p . manoux , diedrich bader ) and you\u2019re left with the impression that the filmmakers were actively trying to cast against logic . such choices further illustrate the insanity of taking any of the film\u2019s apparently xenophobic attitudes at face value : this is a film in which the vast majority of american characters are portrayed by the very europeans they\u2019re so quick to deride .\nthe film\u2019s lead quartet of scott mechlowicz , jacob pitts , michelle trachtenberg and travis wester , on the other hand , are the all - american real deal . with the exception of trachtenberg , who became a child star with the 1996 nickelodeon comedy harriet the spy and was later a recurring character on buffy the vampire slayer , they were all picked from relative obscurity to appear in the film . only trachtenberg was still a teenager at the time of production , shooting most of the film aged 17 . her male co - stars ranged between 24 and 26 . sadly , all four have since slipped out of the spotlight , moving onto independent films ( mechlowicz ) , appearing on cable tv ( wester ) or in the case of pitts and trachtenberg , continuing to accept minor teen roles into their late - twenties ( in heist drama 21 and body - swap comedy 17 again respectively ) .\nhomophobia is shifting in the contemporary comedy landscape . today\u2019s mainstream comedies are falling over themselves to have their cake and eat it where gay issues are concerned . obviously , the joke is no longer explicitly at the expense of the flamboyant queen or the rugged bear ; now the attention has shifted to the straight protagonist ( s ) and the possibility that they might be thought of as gay . there\u2019s a spurious notion that this shift allows us to laugh at homophobia rather than with it , on the basis that it\u2019s the dumb redneck stereotype saying \u2018faggot\u2019 instead of the action hero . but essentially , we\u2019re still being presented with heterosexual characters who are amused and / or horrified by the innately \u2018icky\u2019 idea of homosexuality , and all the token quirky gay roommates in the world can\u2019t change that .\nof course , like the rest of the film , any intellectualising is slightly at odds with the movie\u2019s pervasively juvenile tone . on paper it\u2019s very easy to attribute intelligence and nuance to the film\u2019s writers , but when a behind the scenes featurette clearly shows one of them warning an actor not to \u2018drop the soap\u2019 during the filming of the nude beach scene , it gets that little bit harder to champion them as heroes of queer cinema .\nperhaps it\u2019s this conflict that makes the film a tough one to truly love . it\u2019s often unfairly presented as a film that audiences might enjoy \u2018in spite of themselves\u2019 , which massively underestimates a team of filmmakers who are all too capable of moments of satirical clarity . but the adolescent thoughtlessness that penetrates ( * snigger * ) so much of their work sits ill at ease with such ambitions and leaves a lot of the film feeling misconceived . when , on the film\u2019s commentary track , schaffer and co . take it upon themselves to cheer every appearance of a black person on screen , it is of course done with a knowing irony , but that doesn\u2019t really make it any less idiotic .\nthis teenagers -

[ 2 ]\nin 1944 , a young salil came to calcutta for his graduate studies . he joined the ipta [ 2 ] ( indian peoples theater association ) the cultural wing of the communist party of india . he started writing songs [ 2 ] and setting tunes for them .

[ 2 ] almost every notable singer at the time from west bengal had sung at least one of his songs . a few examples are debabrata biswas , hemanta mukherjee , shyamal mitra , sandhya mukherjee , manabendra mukherjee , subir sen and pratima banerjee .\nthe first bengali film in which salil chowdhury composed music was paribortan , released in 1949 . mahabharati , released in 1994 , was the last of the 41 bengali films where he rendered his music .\nsalil chowdhury ' s debut in the hindi film industry came in 1953 [ 2 ] as the music director for do bigha zamin ( based on tagore ' s poem / narrative by the same name , but the story was different . the story was written by salil chowdhury himself . directed by bimal roy , this film took his career to new heights when it became the first film to win the filmfare best movie award and won the international prize at the cannes film festival .\nafter working for about 20 years in bengali and hindi films , he entered malayalam film industry and in 1964 composed music for the movie chemmeen .

[ 6 ] he dabbled in a lot of things and it was his ambition to achieve greatness in everything he did . [ 6 ] but at times , his confusion was fairly evident :\ni do not know what to opt for : poetry , story writing , orchestration or composing for films . i just try to be creative with what fits the moment and my temperament\n, he once told a journalist . [ 6 ]\nsalil ' s love for western classical music started when he was a young boy growing up in an assam tea garden where his father worked as a doctor . his father inherited a large number of western classical records and a gramophone from a departing irish doctor . while salil listened to mozart , beethoven , tchaikovsky , chopin , and others everyday , his daily life was surrounded by the sound of the forest , chirping of the birds , sound of the flute and the local folk - music of assam . [ 6 ] this left a lasting impression in young salil . he became a self - taught flute player and his favourite composer was mozart . his compositions often used folk melodies or melodies based on indian classical ragas but the orchestration was very much western in its construction . according to his daughter antara , ( ref . : ek fankar @ vividbharati radio programme at 10 . 00 pm on 19 november 2013 ) , salil himself once joked that he was mozart , reborn .\nsalil being a composing exponent , he even sensed the talent of a guitarist who played in his orchestra and uttered that ,\ni think he ' s going to be the best composer in india\n.

1970s , i set out to face life without much of a family background . but the malayalam film songs composed by salil chowdhury inspired me with self - confidence , with hopes and dreams of a better tomorrow .\nsalil da ' s music was different from the music that i had grown up with , that was its first attraction . from lata mangeshkar to raj kapoor , many have called him\na genius\n. music directors from shankar - jaikishen to a . r . rahman have been struck by salil da ' s felicity in matching orchestration with emotions . he is the only major composer to have scored music for films in almost all - important indian languages . in bengali , he was a poet , lyricist , and storywriter . a staunch communist , he went to jail many times in the course of his political struggle .\nsalil da was born on november 19 , 1925 , in chingripotha in 24 parganas district of west bengal . his childhood was spent in the tea gardens of assam and he was greatly influenced by the songs of the tea garden workers and assamese folk songs . his father had a great collection of bach , beethoven , mozart and chopin . salil da ' s love for western classical music taught him the potential of various musical instruments and the importance of harmony in music . he was a self - taught musician and the beauty of his compositions lies in the adroit mix of folk , indian classical and western classical music .\nwhen salil da came to calcutta for his graduate studies in 1944 , he was attracted by the political ethos of the day and became a communist . he started writing songs and setting tunes for ipta , the cultural wing of the communist party .\n, which he composed at the age of 20 , created a new wave in bengali music . his experiments in composition and orchestration were unique . his first bengali film\nparibortan\nwas released in 1949 .\nmahabharati\nin 1994 was the last of his 41 bengali films .\nwhen bimal roy made salil da ' s short story\nrickshawala\nas\ndo bigha zameen\nin hindi , salil da entered hindi films as a music director . the exceptional songs of that film ,\nattracted the attention of the nation . his songs for\nbiraj bahu\n,\nnaukri\n,\namaanat\n,\ntaangewaali\n,\nawaaz\n,\nparivaar\n,\njaagte raho\n,\napradhi kaun\nand\nek gaon ki kahaani\nare still popular . then came\nmadhumati\nin 1958 . its 12 songs ,

1964 with\nchemmeen\n. he scored music for 23 films in malayalam . some films never saw light of day in the theatres and some were big box office flops . but all are referred to just for the songs .\nthe flawless harmony with which salil da used an array of musical instruments suggests a unique understanding of instruments . raj kapoor once described him as a genius who could play everything from\nand piano to piccolo . salil da showed indian popular music the way to use quaint western instruments . he has used instruments as varied as the oboe , french horn , mandolin and saxophone in his arrangements .\nsalilda ' s music defies classifications and never follows a predictable format . his songs charm the listener with a first feeling of simplicity . but when you try to sing it ; you realise the unusual musical twining and the complex composition . it is impossible to think of his tunes without accompaniments . the skilful use of obligato , the counter melody flowing around the main melody , is an unfailing attraction of his music .\nsalilda had to face the opposition of traditionalism . he was accused of westernising bengali music . his reply was that the harmonium , the common idiom of indian music , was itself a western instrument .\nmusic has to at all times , dissolve and evolve , ever renewing it into new forms to suit the tastes of the time . otherwise it will become fossilised . but in my quest for moving forth , i should not forget my tradition\n. these were salilda ' s words about his music .\nmusic lovers in tamil nadu too recognise salil chowdhury ' s music from malayalam films like\nchemmeen\n.\nis a song that held tamil nadu too in a spell for over 40 years . the background score for\nuyir\n( 1971 ) , the songs of\nkarumbu\n( 1972 , unreleased ) ,\nparuva mazhai\n, a kamal hassan film dubbed from malayalam ( 1978 ) , were salil da ' s initial scores in tamil .\nthough his contribution to tamil films appears to be little it is not an exaggeration to say that salil da was a trendsetter on the scene . both ilayaraja and a . r . rahman followed the path charted by him . ilayaraja was introduced to the film industry as guitarist and combo organ player in salil da ' s recordings and his influence on ilayaraja is evident . r . k . sekhar , rahman ' s father , worked with salil da as an assistant . rahman himself testifies that attending salil da ' s recording sessions at a young age left an indelible impression on him .\nsalil da died on september 5 , 1995 but for millions of music lovers , he will live on through his immortal music .\noriginally posted by qwest juggye ji , how are you ? great post . his music will live on . there must be many like me who will never let the memory dim , of the moment when on

- such as jobs , social security , and health care - - among different groups . democrats won all but two presidential elections from 1932 to 1964 , assembling a winning coalition of lower - income voters , catholics , union members , blacks , and white southerners .\nin addition ,\nunprecedented\nmakes no mention of the serious software problem that had taken place in the democratic county of volusia - - that at one point showed al gore with a negative vote total . under florida election law in 2000 - - for al gore to have requested a statewide count of the uncounted votes from the beginning - - his campaign would ' ve had to have filed hand count requests in all 67 of florida ' s counties within 72 hours of election day - - because it ' s the counties who actually count the votes . this was impossible . the bush campaign deliberately chose not to request any hand counts in any of the counties , because it knew that that would eventually result in all of the uncounted votes being counted . and they knew that this meant victory for al gore . the bush campaign was determined to prevent the counting of the uncounted votes at all costs . in addition , i have a tape of the nationally televised november 15 , 2000 speech that al gore gave offering to drop all legal proceedings , if bush would agree to a statewide count of all of the uncounted votes . bush flatly refused to do so .\nthe election of 2000 merged or obliterated many of these divisions . during the clinton years , democrats overcame their losing reputation on moralistic issues , as clinton became identified with such stands as harsh treatment of criminals ( including support for the death penalty ) and welfare reform . the president maintained his popularity even after revelation of his sexual immorality , as seen in the failure of the republican effort to impeach and remove him from office .\n( 7 . ) this analysis is based on the vns national exit poll , as published in the new york times , 12 november 2000 , supplemented by data provided by cbs news .\nthe dramatic struggle over the outcome of the 2000 presidential election presented judges with an extraordinary political challenge , as well as a historic political temptation . in the votes that counted howard gillman offers a comprehensive yet critical assessment of how well courts coped with the competing expectations for impartial justice and favorable partisan results . lively and authoritative , the book documents how the participants , the press , the academic community , and the public responded during these tension - filled thirty - six days . gillman also provides a serious yet accessible overview of the legal strategies and debates - from briefs and oral arguments to final decisions . however , in explaining the behavior of courts , he moves beyond an analysis of law to also take into account the influences of partisanship , judicial ideology , and broader political and historical contexts . appropriately , gillman pays special attention to the judges whose behavior generated the most controversy\u2014the battling justices of the florida and united states supreme courts . after carefully reviewing the arguments for and against their decisions , he concludes that the five justices behind the bush v . gore decision acted outside what should be considered the acceptable boundaries of judicial power . gillman ends with an analysis of why they chose such an unprecedented course of action and an assessment of whether their partisan intervention will have any lasting effect on the supreme court\u2019s reputation and authority .\n. we cannot explore all of the consequences of this election for mexican democracy , but we should consider three aspects of the coming six - year term : divided government , the party system , and the central political issues that fox will face .\nthe presidential election of 2000 stands at best as a paradox , at worst as a scandal , of american democracy . democrat albert gore won the most votes , a half million more than his republican opponent george w . bush , but lost the presidency in the electoral college by a count of 271 - 267 . even this count was suspect , dependent on the tally in florida , where many minority voters were denied the vote , ballots were confusing , and recounts were mishandled and manipulated . the choice of their leader came not from the citizens of the nation , but from lawyers battling for five weeks . the final decision was made not by 105 million voters , but by a 5 - 4 majority of the unelected u . s . supreme court , issuing a tainted and partisan verdict .\nstarting with the illegal and unscrupulous manipulation of florida ' s voter registration rolls , this film follows the legal tennis match over the u . s . 2000 presidential election . the film is left - biased , with a majority of the commentators and interviewees being from florida civil rights advocacy organisations . that said , this film should anger and upset just about everyone . if you ' re a see - no - evil conservative then you ' ll think this film is all lies and propaganda ; everyone else will be outraged at what the bush campaign got away with . the final arguments of the film about the supreme court seem a little flimsy , but the majority of the material presented is sound , well - documented , clearly understandable , and can be easily researched yourself if you want to pursue the matter further .\nif you thought you knew the fact about what happened in november & december of 2000 this documentary surprises you with more hard evidence that the main stream media has refused to report . florida governor jeb bush and florida secretary of state harris planned for months before the election to purge the voter rolls of legally registered democrats . and there are signed memos to prove it . this investigative journalism is truly amazing .\nfox ' s victory reflects the new competitiveness in mexican politics . once able to expect to gain 70 percent of the votes , the pri dropped to about half of the ballots in the 1988 and 1994 presidential elections , and to below 40 percent in the 1997 midterm congressional elections . in 1997 , though , the pri ' s most threatening rival was not fox ' s pan but the democratic revolutionary party ( or prd ) of cuauht\u00e9moc c\u00e1rdenas , who won the mexico city mayor ' s race that year ( klesner 1997 ) and who ran as the prd ' s presidential candidate in 2000 , his third outing as the left ' s standard bearer . in the 1990s , opposition candidates from both the pan and the prd have won the municipal presidencies of most of mexico ' s largest cities and many of its provincial capitals . before the july elections , the pan governed five of the nation ' s thirty - two states and the prd five , mostly in coalition with other parties . on july 2 , the pan added the gubernatorial seats in guanajuato and morelos while the prd ' s andr\u00e9s manuel l\u00f3pez obrador retained for his party the position of\namericans ( and everyone else for that matter ) need to see this film in order to understand how the american\ndemocracy\nhas been undermined by highly sophisticated criminals . the 2000 election was stolen outright , but this alarming fact slipped under the noses of millions of americans who aren ' t aware of how george w . bush came to be president in 2000 . it is very probable that something similar happened in the 2004 election . it is time for people to become aware of the threats to democracy that exist and ensure that they do not persist , for if they do they will utterly destroy the american democracy . this is another very thought - provoking film from robert greenwald , who has another movie slated for november release : wal - mart : the high cost of low price .\nfurthermore , in early 2001 , the orlando sentinel interviewed judge terry lewis , who was the judge assigned to oversee the count of the uncounted votes . he clearly said that he was going to count the overvotes where the intent of the voter was clear . the truth is , there are no vote count scenarios that bush wins - - when all of the uncounted votes are counted . not if just the undervotes are counted . not if both undervotes and overvotes combined are counted . none of these facts were included in\nunprecedented ' either .\n( 21 . ) reported by the vanishing voter project of harvard university ' s john f . kennedy school of government ( www . vanishingvoter . org ) , november 2000 .\nbecause of the clinton - lewinsky - impeachment controversy , the personal traits of the next president became an important element in the 2000 election , and this was a principal source of bush ' s appeal . the nation now may regain ritualistic\ndignity and honor\nin the white house , as both candidates pledged . it is less likely , however , to regain the political advantages of a strong presidency - - national unity , policy leadership , and inspiration to great goals .\n1 . on a ten - point scale , with 0 representing the far left and 10 the far right , respondents to a february survey placed the pri at 6 . 8 , the pan at 5 . 5 , and the prd at 3 . 7 . those same respondents placed themselves at 6 . 5 . mexico 2000 panel study , first wave , february 19 -

- talking heads , press footage , witness interviews - - to generate a compelling argument : the republican party used two\ntool sets\nto win the 2000 presidential election . first up : a series of well - planned , shady , and sometimes lucky machinations , particularly through the\ngood ole boy\nnetwork , with republican campaign coordinator and florida secretary of state katherine harris and governor jeb bush as key players . next : u . s . racist and classist inclinations . what ' s more , the documentary goes on to suggest , in the current climate of corporate media , soft money , and computerization , that ' s how all elections can be won .\nthe hand counts that al gore had correctly requested under florida election law in 2000 should ' ve been carried out , as hand counts were a routine and an accepted part of the election process in florida . i certainly remember them taking place in the 15 years i was in florida volunteering on election campaigns . the hand counts that al gore requested were illegally blocked by the actions of both katherine harris and jeb bush who were determined to trample the will of the people of florida and install jeb ' s brother . and that ' s exactly what they did . in fact , i ' ve since acquired a transcript of a meeting of the pinellas county canvassing board , that voted to conduct a hand count in that county in a local fire department advisory board race , which changed the outcome of that race . this was at the very same time that katherine harris was on national tv illegally blocking the very same type of request made by the gore campaign .\nest\u00e9vez , federico and alejandro moreno . 2000 .\ncampaign effects and issue - voting in the pri primary .\npaper prepared for the xxii international congress of the latin american studies association , miami , march 16 - 18 .\nthe 2nd totally false claim made in\nunprecedented\nis that bush would ' ve won if only the undervotes had been counted . this is completely false and a creation of the pro - bush media . i have the miami herald ' s own count of the uncounted votes and when all of the uncounted undervotes are counted al gore wins . in order to invent this so - called\nwin\nfor bush , the pro bush media distorted the florida supreme courts ruling and didn ' t count the many thousands of uncounted votes in broward and palm beach counties that the bush campaign had successfully and illegally blocked from being counted . in the first couple of sentences of it ' s decision , the florida supreme court clearly called for the counting of all uncounted votes , where the intent of the voter is clear . this is what the law was in florida in 2000 .\nnewspaper , for example , had labastida ahead of fox by three percentage points ( equal to the margin of error ) in its last poll taken two weeks before the election , a margin that had not changed in the previous month . indeed , in\n( 9 . ) gary langer ,\nnew republican , old issues ,\nanalyzing the abc news poll , reported at ( www . abcnews . go . com ) , november 2000 .\nit ' s easy for conservatives to dismiss unprecedented as liberal propaganda because the truth is much uglier . this film impressively documents a plan enacted by the bush campaign with help from jeb bush and katherine harris to steal the election and ensure a victory in florida . it does not make bold and ridiculous statements , but instead goes through each aspect of the story and makes its point convincingly . in retrospect , this case is even stronger given what ' s happened in the past four years . the filmmakers do an excellent job in presenting the facts without distorting the truth . especially interesting are the comments about gore ' s mistakes , which were also designed to generate specific results . if his campaign had seen the big picture , this country might be in a much different place this year .\nmore generally , gore neglected to put the election into a broader context - - of the administration ' s record , of party , or of the republican record in congress . all of these elements might have been used to bolster his chances , but he , along with bush , instead made the election a contest between two individuals and their personal programs . in editing his own message so severely , gore made it less persuasive . if the campaign were to be only a choice of future programs , with their great uncertainties , a bush program might be as convincing to the voters as a gore program . if the election were to be only a choice of the manager of a consensual agenda , bush ' s individual qualities might well be more attractive .\nnot only two candidates , but virtually two nations confronted each other in the election of 2000 . while gore and bush received essentially identical support in the total popular vote , they drew this support from very different constituencies . the electoral map ( figure 1 ) illustrates the cleavage . in carrying the preponderance of states ( 30 ) , bush changed the landscape of american politics . he swept the interior of the nation , including great swaths of the nation ' s territory in the south , border , plains , and mountain areas . gore won in only 20 states ( and the district of columbia ) , almost all on the geographical fringes of the nation - - bordering the atlantic ocean ( north of the potomac ) , the pacific ocean , and the great lakes .\nthroughout the campaign , fox emphasized that his goal was to remove the pri from the presidency and thereby transform the mexican regime . to do that , he adopted in a variety of strategies novel in the mexican context . to begin , he openly sought his party ' s presidential nomination more than two years before the formal nomination stage . to help to finance this pre - campaign and to gain new supporters , fox created an organization called\npublic outrage over the felon lists and voter purges spilled into street protests and congressional hearings , but was under - reported by the mainstream media . though this development is largely ignored in the main film , it is closely examined in some of the dvd extras . in the featurette ,\nmedia malfeasance ,\nfilmmakers perez and sekler center on the conflation of media with politics . most of the reporting focused on dangling chads and recounts , downplaying voter purges and connections between the bush camp and the officials calling the election . the filmmakers argue that such behavior , including the calling , un - calling , and recalling of florida ' s votes on election night , laid the foundation for the supreme court ' s decision .\nthe most obvious change would be to abolish the electoral college altogether and to choose the president by direct popular vote . in 2000 the result would have been a narrow gore victory . realistically , this change is unlikely to pass the difficult barriers to constitutional amendment , since the present system works to the advantage of small states , which could prevent an amendment from passing the senate or the state legislatures .\nthe film received an unprecedented rollout , first with a limited theatrical release in new york , los angeles and london , then making its global television debut this past sunday , oct . 30 , on national geographic channel in 171 countries and 45 languages . it is also available for seven days through nov . 6 for free on a record number of digital and streaming platforms . this global rollout is part of the network\u2019s continued commitment to covering climate change .\nby 2000 the parties ' supporters had become philosophically coherent as well . fewer than one of every thirteen republicans considered themselves liberals , and fewer than one in eight democrats were conservatives . voters also responded to the ideological difference between the parties : four out of five self - identified liberals voted democratic , and the same proportion of conservatives voted republican , often giving greater weight to ideological preference than to traditional party loyalty ( see table 1 ) . the partisan contest of 2000 was also an ideological conflict ."]}

'\nbefore his marriage to rebecca miller and the birth of their children , day - lewis would actively try to remove himself from what was familiar , going wherever his work or character took him . with his role in my left foot , he found a kind of refuge . ' i learnt how to soundproof myself , ' he said . ' playing the part of christy brown left me with a sense of setting myself on a course , of trying to achieve something that was utterly out of reach . '\nchristy brown was born on 5 th of june 1932 in crumlin , dublin , the tenth of 22 children born to a bricklayer and his wife . during infancy christy was diagnosed with cerebral palsy , a disability which caused him to have limited muscular control apart from his left foot . with the help of his family and devoted mother , christy learned to read and write . during his teens he started to paint and wrote his autobiography , my left foot ( 1954 ) which became an international literary sensation and was made into the 1989 oscar - winning film , directed by jim sheridan and starring daniel day lewis and brenda fricker .\nhe was first attracted to my left foot , the story of christy brown , a man with cerebral palsy who became a renowned painter and writer in ireland , by the opening scene of the script : christy ' s left foot puts a record on a turn\u00adtable , there is a skip and the foot picks the needle up and then puts it down again . ' i knew it couldn ' t be done , ' day - lewis said , ' and that intrigued me . ' after weeks of practice and eight weeks spent with cerebral - palsy patients , day - lewis nailed the scene on the first take . for there will be blood , he studied the historic period for nearly two years and became comfortable with the tools of california oilmen circa 1900 .\neventually , with guidance , christy matures into a cantankerous writer and artist who uses his only functional limb , his left foot , to write and paint with . he also meets a nurse name mary carr , the love of his life who appreciates his talents .\nhe has been hailed as one of britain ' s greatest actors ever since he lit up the screen in my beautiful laundrette 22 years ago . he won an oscar soon after for my left foot , and is now heavily tipped for another for his towering performance as a pioneering oilman in the epic there will be blood . whatever the role , day - lewis inhabits it heart and soul . eccentric ? obsessed ? not so , he tells peter stanford , inviting him to his home in ireland to dispel a few myths . . .\nmy left foot\nis a great film for many reasons , but the most important is that it gives us such a complete picture of this man ' s life . it is not an inspirational movie , although it inspires . it is not a sympathetic movie , although it inspires sympathy . it is the story of a stubborn , difficult , blessed and gifted man who was dealt a bad hand , who played it brilliantly , and who left us some good books , some good paintings and the example of his courage . it must not have been easy .\nonce i learned this , i knew i had an opportunity to fundamentally improve treatment of the foot . alignment and motion is important everywhere else when it comes to the function and strength of bones , joints and muscles . it is equally important for optimal foot function as well .\nroger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success\u2026\nthis is the ur - text of day - lewis ' s method : playing christy brown , the writer and painter who had cerebral palsy , in my left foot ( 1989 ) , day - lewis spent eight weeks at a cerebral palsy clinic in dublin , learning to speak as brown spoke and to write and paint with his left foot , as brown did . ' films don ' t begin only when the camera starts rolling , ' he explained . during the shoot , day - lewis stayed in character at all times , never leaving his wheelchair . he was lifted into and out of the car that brought him to filming , and over the cables that littered the set , and was fed by members of the crew .\nchristy brown is born with cerebral palsy to a large , poor irish family . his mother , mrs . brown , recognizes the intelligence and humanity in the lad everyone else regards as a vegetable . eventually , christy matures into a cantankerous artist who uses his dexterous left foot to write and paint .\nmy left foot tells the true story of christy brown ' s life , based on his autobiography ( first published in 1954 ) and on the memories of those who knew him . christy is born and remains almost completely paralyzed by cerebral palsy . he is one of 22 children ( 13 survived into adulthood ) of a bricklayer ' s family . they live in a dublin slum - painfully poor , often deprived of essentials , yet very resilient .\nchristy brown is born with cerebral palsy to a large , poor irish family . his mother , mrs . brown , recognizes the intelligence and humanity in the lad everyone else regards as a vegetable . eventually , christy matures into a cantankerous artist who uses his dexterous left foot to write and paint . written by reid gagle\nthere are no real miracles in\nmy left foot\n, and both the actors ' performances and the sets make it quite believable . christy brown is shown to be a complex , highly intelligent , flawed and passionate person , neither an object of pity nor a saint . disability is an important part , but only a part of christy ' s life . and the only real cliches or stereotypes are some rather heavy - handed messaging about irish peoples ' supposed love of boozing and brawling .\nin the end , it was his left foot , the only part of his body that he could control , that unlocked christy ' s potential . bridget spent hours helping him learn to read and write in a time when education for the disabled was simply not an option . two bestselling books later and christy had proved all the doctors wrong .\none day , christy ' s whole life changes and his mother ' s faith in him gets rewarded . while the family is sitting around in the kitchen and the boy is lying on the floor , he picks up a piece of chalk with his left foot and writes letters on the floor . this is his first successful attempt to communicate with his family . everyone is amazed except for mom , who had always believed that he understands what is going on around him . she can see it in his eyes . on one christmas paddy , one of christy ' s brothers , gets colored paints and a brush . some days later , christy starts using them to paint with his left foot .\nthe pain hijacked my life , and none of the ten ( ! ) versions of custom orthotics from top clinicians could help . it alarmed me that all of these orthotics were based on assumptions and methodologies that hadn ' t changed in over 50 years : traditional orthotics prop up the medial ( inside ) arch and restrict movement in the foot .\naccording to the\nmaking of my left foot\nsegment on the special edition dvd , daniel day - lewis broke two ribs during filming from assuming the hunched - over position in his wheelchair for weeks of filming . he also would refuse to come out of character . on visits to the set canteen , other people would have to help him with food . on one visit from his english agent , day - lewis again refused to come out of character as christy brown , and his frustrated agent took off . see more \u00bb\nsince day - lewis seems in the mood to demolish some of the other ' mad bastard ' stereotypes that surround him and his work , i try out a few others on him . for instance , there is the idea that , away from a film set , he retreats into another world that is as far removed from movie making as he can get . ' it is misleading , ' he explains , ' to see my life in front of the camera and my life at home with my wife and children as two lives between which there is a schism . my life as it is away from movie set is a life where i follow my curiosity just as avidly as when i am working . it is with a very positive sense that i keep away from the work for a while . it has always seemed natural to me that that in turn should help me in the work that i do .

' i needed - and i still need - to create a particular environment , ' he said . ' i need to find the right kind of silence or light or noise . whatever is necessary - and it is always different . i know it sounds a little fussy and a little ridiculous , but finding your own rhythm is one of the most important things you can discover about yourself . and you have to observe it . as actors , we ' re all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job . they plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think ,\nbe grateful , be grateful , be grateful .\nso it ' s not without a sense of gratitude that i work . but i couldn ' t do this work at all unless i did it in my own rhythm . it became a choice between stopping and taking the time i needed . '\nin the summer of 2017 oscar - winning actor daniel day - lewis surprised hollywood , london , and the entire entertainment world when he revealed that he is retiring from acting and would make no more films . his final performance in paul thomas anderson \u2018s recently - released \u201c phantom thread \u201d has brought day - lewis his sixth oscar nomination and his eighth golden globe nom ( losing there to gary oldman for \u201c darkest hour \u201d ) . one of the most respected actors of his generation , day - lewis is the only man who has won three oscars for best actor . those victories were for \u201c my left foot \u201d ( 1989 ) , \u201c there will be blood \u201d ( 2007 ) , and \u201c lincoln \u201d ( 2012 ) . in fact he is one of only three men to win acting oscars three times ; the others are walter brennan and jack nicholson . in addition , he has won two best actor awards each from the screen actors guild and the golden globes . most importantly ( if retirement actually happens ) , he will have left\nto portray christy brown , the irish artist who suffered from cerebral palsy and was only able to control his left foot , daniel day - lewis asked to be wheeled around the set in his wheelchair , and crew members were required to spoonfeed him and lift him around . he damaged two ribs during filming from hunching in his wheelchair for weeks on end . he taught himself to paint using a knife held between his toes , and studied disabled patients at sandymount school and clinic in dublin . day - lewis won a best actor oscar .\nno one expects much from christy brown ( daniel day - lewis ) , a boy with cerebral palsy born into a working - class irish family . though christy is a spastic quadriplegic and essentially paralyzed , a miraculous event occurs when , at the age of 5 , he demonstrates control of his left foot by using chalk to scrawl a word on the floor . with the help of his steely mother ( brenda fricker ) - - and no shortage of grit and determination - - christy overcomes his infirmity to become a painter , poet and author .\nthis cinematic masterpiece is the brilliant portrayal of legendary irishman christy brown ( daniel day - lewis ) who , despite crippling cerebral palsy , learned to use his one controllable extremity - - his left foot - - to become an accomplished artist and writer . the miramax collector ' s series proudly presents the release of the acclaimed motion picture that won academy awards\u00ae in 1989 for best actor ( daniel day - lewis ) and best supporting actress ( brenda fricker ) and earned oscar\u00ae nominations for best picture , best director , and best adapted screenplay ( 1989 ) .\nthis is the true story of christy brown ( daniel day - lewis ) , who was born with cerebral palsy ( cp ) into a poor irish family in 1932 and overcame severe physical disability to become a famous artist and writer . in his early years christy is severely disabled and disfigured - - spastic , unable to speak , and close to quadriplegic , able to control only his left foot . his father ( ray mcanally ) initially regards him as both retarded and sinful , but his mother ( brenda fricker ) faithfully and heroically cares for him .\nfilled with wit and unselfconscious humor . to brown ' s credit , his portrayal is unerringly tough , sometimes surprisingly sensual . it keeps foot from maudlin static . a rich cinematic experience , this uplifting british production will leave you in awe of the extraordinary christy brown .\nthat is the story of christy brown , born into a large , poor , loving family in a dublin slum and considered for the first 10 years of his life to be hopelessly retarded . he was born with cerebral palsy , and his entire body was in revolt against him - all except the left foot , with which one day he picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a word on the floor . everyone was amazed except for christy ' s mother , who had always believed he knew what was going on . she could see it in his eyes .\nin this true story told through flashbacks , christy brown is born with crippling cerebral palsy into a poor , working - class irish family . able only to control movement in his left foot and to speak in guttural sounds , he is mistakenly believed to be intellectually disabled for the first ten years of his life . later , through the help of his strong - willed mother , a dedicated teacher , and his own courage and determination , christy not only learns to grapple with life ' s simple physical tasks and complex psychological pains , but he also develops into a brilliant painter , poet and author .\nsince smoking is a vasoconstriction ( makes blood vessels narrow and restricted ) causes blockages in the blood vessels of your feet and hands . your blood vessels become inflamed , and swollen which reduces blood flow . blood clots that further clog blood vessels also develop leading to a future toe or foot amputation .\nparents need to know that my left foot is based on the memoir of christy brown , an irish author and artist born with cerebral palsy in early ' 30s dublin . gritty and sometimes difficult to watch , the movie is ultimately uplifting , with positive messages about overcoming adversity and about people with physical differences or challenges being human , just like anyone . there are a few fights with punches and kicks but no blood or gore . a picture of a fully nude woman is on - screen for a second or two , and tweens speculate about sex and babies briefly . other sexual content includes a teen pregnancy and brown ' s longing for romance . strong language includes occasional use of\nf -

lewis \u201cfucked up at acting . \u201d yes , the onion wants you to know that day - lewis isn\u2019t as amazing on set as you think . \u201c phantom thread \u201d is competing for six oscars at the 90th academy awards , including best picture and best director . day - lewis is nominated once again for best actor and could win his fourth trophy following \u201c my left foot , \u201d \u201c there will be blood , \u201d and \u201c lincoln , \u201d although he faces tough competition from \u201c darkest hour \u201d frontrunner gary oldman . celebrate \u201c phantom thread \u201d with the onion\u2019s hilarious interview in the video below . the film is now playing theaters .\nanother charge laid against day - lewis is that he has somehow turned his back on his home - grown film industry in favour of america . ' i am , ' he acknowledges , ' rather surprised that i haven ' t made more stories about my own country but it is a mistake to suggest that the biggest influence on my life in terms of movies has been america . it was and remains ken loach and his whole body of work , not that i have ever worked with him . there is something unique and pure about the way he works , without a taint on it . his beliefs have remained unwavering since he made cathy come home .

under 18 , he lied about his age and enlisted in company l , 14th u . s . infa\nmy favorite moment in the film is whenever wayne refers to the baby as\nrobert\n. carey jr . corrects him and says ,\nrobert william .\npedro then corrects them both ,\nrobert william pedro .\nthe film ' s best moments are between the three friends interaction . i would have liked to have known but the script never gives any back story on how these three different men met and became friends . more scenes of them verbally bouncing off each other would have added greatly .\nwhen 3 outlaws on the run find a dying woman and her newborn baby in the desert they vow to save the child .\nwayne as the prodigal son delivering the christ child seemed a bit of a stretch .\nwhile this is the story of three men who who follow a star and find a baby , it ' s not a direct allegory for the story of the three wise men . mary didn ' t die and leave jesus to the magi , although i ' m pretty certain that if she had , they would have known how to feed him . it ' s more a story of redemption than it is a symbolic retelling of the bible story . it ' s also told with a good natured humor and a few more guns than you ' ll generally find in the bible .\ni loved this little book . written a century ago , its style would be perfect for a read - aloud ( not for young children , but for grownups - - i could picture the adults in a family settling down to enjoy it together after the small children were asleep . the prose was lyrical and carried the reader through the story of the three bad men who , on the run in the southwestern - us desert after the fourth in their number was killed in a bank robbery gone wrong , encounter a young widow in labor - - but no wat\nthis sentimental western with religious overtones is twice over the type of movie they don ' t make anymore . when was the last time a major hollywood movie star appeared in a story so blatantly and unironically christian ? nowadays you ' d probably be laughed out of a producer ' s office just for suggesting it . the old fashioned air this brings to 3 godfathers just adds to its charm .\nthis is just a great movie that ' s both fun and well made . it must be the first john wayne / john ford movie in color and it ' s truly beautiful to look at . while it ' s a premise that certainly could have become corny , it doesn ' t and manages to have a great message . the chemistry between the three bank robbers is one of the many qualities it has , friendship is such a powerful theme in this . while it draws parallels with the three wisemen , it definitely doesn ' t steal and is extremely original and fresh .\n[ but i hope the last godfather gets to raise the bairn himself . ( hide spoiler ) ]\noh did i forget to mention that this takes place on christmas eve ? after some lighthearted moments with the three outlaws figuring out how to care for a newborn infant , they must face the direness of their predicament . they have very little water and only a few cans of milk .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nin a town called new jerusalem , bandits bob sangster ( chester morris ) , doc underwood ( lewis stone ) and gus barton ( walter brennan ) hold up a bank . after a gun battle with the townspeople , the three robbers retreat into the scorching desert . there , they happen upon an ill woman stranded with her child . as the mother dies , she begs the men to take care of her infant . the fugitives want to save the baby - - but to do so , they ' ll have to travel back to new jerusalem , where they are wanted men .\njohn ford really knew how to tell a story . this one moves along quickly . it builds to a dramatic climax that packs an emotional punch . despite the obvious religious symbolism ford never gets preachy and the drama is well balanced with humor . granted his range was limited but john wayne was a much better actor than he was ever given credit for and 3 godfathers is one of his best roles .\nthe bible used as a prop has marginal cross -

goldwyn - mayer , even though mgm wasn ' t known for producing westerns . the fact that the studio made\n, was released during a relatively strange era for westerns . the early 1930s saw a huge surge in the quality and quantity of b - movie western productions , but the opposite was true for major studios ' westerns , remaining so for most of the decade . in fact , the big budget western didn ' t experience a renaissance until the 1939 release of john ford ' s\nis also unique because it takes place in the arid and desolate heat of the american southwestern desert . mgm usually eschewed such a setting for its movies , preferring instead the controlled confines of a studio indoor set or faraway exotic locales , such as the jungles of\n, starring the great western star harry carey . director john ford then collaborated with carey on yet another version of the same story entitled\nthis list was published in november 2016 by cowboys & indians ,\nthe premier magazine of the west .\nreferences to tv series\u2026\nfrequent john wayne costar ward bond plays the sheriff leading the posse in pursuit . he also happens to be the infant\u2019s uncle . his wife is played by mae marsh a veteran actress of hollywood whose career stretched all the way back to griffith\u2019s intolerance and even before . mildred natwick has the small but important role of robert william pedro\u2019s mother . familiar faces jane darwell and guy kibbee round out the cast .\nford chose john wayne and mexican star pedro armendariz to co - star with harry carey , jr . in the tale of three bad men who find redemption in a barren land . ford ' s treatment of actors on his set was legendary . from john wayne to supporting players , ford ' s behavior was often nothing less than harsh . an unfortunate recipient of this abuse on the set of\nis all the more remarkable in that it was produced during a time when big budget westerns weren ' t popular and the great depression severely strained studio bank accounts , thus making risky ventures all the more rare .\n. until that time , the major studios virtually ignored westerns . but during this dry spell for the western , there were some noteworthy titles .\ntwo young drifters guide a mormon wagon train to the san juan valley and encounter cutthroats , indians , geography , and moral challenges on the journey .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\n( 1932 ) . ethel barrymore , making her first appearance in a sound film , knew boleslawski from the new york theatre world , and had insisted on the change of directors .\nthere are no discussion topics on this book yet . be the first to start one \u00bb\nscott mentioned how it was clear that a doll was often used as a baby stand it . i would like to ad that this is one agreeable infant . he rarely cries . most babies cry often , for any number of reasons . this child is wrapped in blankets in scorching heat , starved and falls to the ground three different times while in a different man ' s arms . we rarely hear a peep out of him . can anyone explain why they were supposed to put grease on the baby ?\ni loved this show ! ! ! all the characters did a fine job with their performance ! i am a big fan of old movies especially old westerns . i loved the . . .\nat fort apache , an honorable and veteran war captain finds conflict when his regime is placed under the command of a young , glory hungry lieutenant colonel with no respect for the local indian tribe .\nrobert taylor and eleanor parker star as a kentucky backwoodsman and the woman who will not let anything interfere with her plans to marry him in this humorous romantic adventure through the american frontier of 1798 .\ndunson leads a cattle drive , the culmination of over 14 years of work , to its destination in missouri . but his tyrannical behavior along the way causes a mutiny , led by his adopted son .\none of my only problems with wayne ' s performance is that he doesn ' t carry a baby very convincingly . there are plenty of times where the bundle in his or the other two men ' s arms is clearly not a real baby . on several occasions one of the men falls over while carrying the baby and it almost always look fake or as if the baby is dead because of how little it moves . i should hasten to add that this is a very minor quibble , but i did notice it .\na growing source of silent era film information . this listing is from the progressive silent film list by carl bennett . copyright \u00a9 1999 -

\u201cthe nation wants to know ! \u201d\nthis is what i did \u2013 i landed up at suyasha sen\u2019s house , a few days ago and let her treat me to some home - made honey lemon tea first , which later became old monk , while we had a great long chat about everything from feminism to jnu to our redundant education system , and of course , the story behind the great indian freak show .\nas someone who does not understand the intricacies of music and is a musically challenged ( and even ignorant ) listener , i was often confused about their \u2018sound\u2019 and could not ever really deduce the logic behind their hinglish lyrics , music and essence . suyasha explained the theory behind their quirky music quite simply . she said , \u201cgrowing up in the 90s in india meant our lives were extremely influenced by bollywood , so we use it as a common vehicle to connect with millennials\u201d . well , that sounded legit because i could not remember a day from my childhood that wasn\u2019t spent without mulling over which movie was going to be out next friday ! yeah , life before inox and imax .\nwe jumped to the video , which struck a reverberating chord the moment i watched it . while i had danced to all their songs at all their gigs ( in calcutta and delhi ) in a drunken swirl and with my macha ( bengali colloquialism for obnoxious ) swag on , this was perhaps my favorite because it wasn\u2019t just designed to make you dance but also came with a powerful and poignant message . even their earlier songs like \u2018item song\u2019 conspicuously mocked eve - teasing and the objectifying of women in new bollywood item numbers , but the music itself was of such a frolicking nature that , to most of the audience , the point was often lost after a few drinks . this also made me think of how different tgifs sounded compared to all their other songs such as dancing dancing , dendrite and item song . i was itching to find out why !\n\u201cit\u2019s a lot of growing up . rock is the genre of angry people . you have to scream when you are saying \u2018the great indian freak show\u2019 . we realized we were becoming cynical about everything that was going on . we are still very much a pop band but i started listening to music with bands like nirvana , so the emotion still remains same . item song was a sarcastic jibe which is why it was more \u2018fun\u2019 , but with tgifs we are trying to be blatant\u201d , said suyasha , explaining their metamorphosis .\nwhat gt is trying to do is , to ask important questions . questions like ( as suyasha pointed out )\nto sum all of this up suyasha said , \u201ci still wake up every morning and read the newspapers back to front . right now indian society is a little bit of a circus , hence this , the great indian freak show\u201d .\na few days ago , they played tgifs live for the first time in front of the calcutta crowd and , needless to say , i was thrilled before , during , and after with the rest of the people going pretty bonkers . they are also playing in other cities such as pune and hyderabad soon , so heads up for that because political as their music have may become , they still have a whole lot of \u2018dancing dancing\u2019 left in them .\ndisclaimer : the views expressed in this article are independent views solely of the author ( s ) expressed in their private capacity and do not in any way represent or reflect the views of 101india . com .\nan anthem takes shape : khasi bloodz ( music video ) : episode 7 : hip . . .\nfeyago ' s baul folk hip hop ( music video ) : episode 2 : hip hop homeland . . .\nchuck berry , one of my all - time favourite artists influenced me to . . .\nin search of an anthem with feyago : episode 1 : hip hop homeland north . . .\nshillong ' s young rap crew : symphonic movement : episode 8 : hip hop . . .\nhow one of the beatles ' guitars found its way to a mumbai burger joint . . .\njutt blues ( music video ) : shamoon ismail | greyhound racing in punjab . . .\nthe pooram song ( music video ) : rajesh dass & bipolar junction | 101 . . ."]}

codes lately on tcm \u2026 well , i was hoping for some juicy pre - production code entertainment , but alas that was not the case with this flick . nonetheless , at less than 75 minutes , it was face - paced and mildly amusing enough . as with a lot of these really old movies , i found i enjoyed it for the cultural references and peak into the past .\n8 . you know the show - offs on the jetskis would be nothing without the tan , and erm , the six - pack , the sunnies or the jetski . . .\ni still don\u2019t understand how the hospital is responsible for the plane crash other than the fact that the writers needed it for a plot device .\nqueer profile : sappho sapho is considered to be the mother of all lesbians . both her name and home - city - state of lesbos are where we get the two terms for lady - lovin\u2019 ladies ; sapphic and lesbian . although not much is known about the life of sappho , she was born around 600 b . c . she was a lyrical poet who composed works consisting both of tributes to the greek gods of the time and expressions of her love for both women and men . her poems were collected and stored in the library of alexandria until it was burned down . due to this , much of her work was lost years after her death . nonetheless , she is believed to have been popular in her day , held in the same regard as homer . she is also inventor of the sapphic stanza style , which consists of three long lines of a poem followed by a shorter fourth .\nbut even beyond the pink ladies , two side characters , patty simcox and cha - cha , literally seem to embody this virgin - shaming and slut - shaming . throughout the film patty is seen being shamed for being a virgin and is almost constantly portrayed acting almost like a little girl . patty in turn is seen shaming rizzo when it\u2019s rumored that she is pregnant .\nchristina is working with bailey , smash and the intern i like that yang has named grumpy . i think it\u2019s some sort of transplant case . meredith is working with doe eyed intern on a case with a dude who keeps grabbing ladies asses and boobs , fun ! i will give you 100 pennies that this jerk has a brain tumor .\nbarasti fries are everything ! as are the pizzas . . . and the fish and chips . . . and the burgers . basically , the food is good !\nlovin ' the ladies : jimmy farnsworth ( allen kearns ) bets his friend $ 5 , 000 that he can get any two people , under the proper environment , to fall in love and become engaged within a month . the two he chooses are young society girl betty duncan ( renee macready ) and peter darby ( richard dix ) , a dashing electrician who agrees to pose as a society man at jimmy ' s estate . peter falls in love , however , with joan bently ( lois wilson ) , jimmy ' s fianc\u00e9e . marie , the maid and vampish louise endicott ( rita la roy ) become enamored of peter , and to top it off , betty falls in love with the butler ! this pre - code confection is chock full of farcical situations and makes for fun diversion . - - - - - - 1 , 000 + rare films , tv movies , and series on dvd direct from the studio . urltoken\nalso , you might want to consider that sandy is very different from the other pink ladies besides her virginity . she has a polish - sounding last name in the original play ( dumbrowski ) but in the movie , it is changed to olsen , which is pretty waspy . unlike the pink ladies , she has blond hair , blue eyes , and has a very \u201cinnocent\u201d sort of beauty . the pink ladies are mostly dark brunettes and they are all working - class girls who would have been considered \u201cethnic\u201d back then\u2026this was tied closely to a girl\u2019s values , or at least that is what some people in the 50\u2019s believed . rizzo and marty are both italian - american , jan is irish - american , frenchy is most likely jewish . cha - cha is also italian ( annette charles , the actress who played her , was really named annette cardona . she was italian - american but changed her name for showbiz ) . there was a time when irish and italian people were not considered white in america . notice how in the first half of the movie , sandy\u2019s hair is straight and smooth . when she transforms into a sultry vixen , her hair is teased into fluffy curls\u2026this symbolizes her liberation from sexual restraint . she also has pierced ears by then and is wearing red lipstick\u2026these are things that many old - fashioned white americans frowned upon in the 50\u2019s .\nyou had planned the best evening ever and then your sister didn ' t wear the right shoes for the first bar , and then your mate got too ruined for the second one . good old barasti to the rescue .\ni agree with you , though , that the pink ladies aren\u2019t very nice to cha - cha . but again , it seems to be more about her unpleasant personality than her reputation . she is even more sleazy than rizzo and she dates craterface , the leader of the scorpions , the rival gang . annette cardona ( who played cha - cha ) died not too long ago , which was really sad , because she was a great dancer . jeff conaway died recently too ( he played kenickie ) . and the guy who played craterface ( dennis something ? ) died in the early 90\u2019s from aids .\ntoday , sweden is one of the most gender -

class woman of that time was to be rail - thin and willowy . the two playboys are such boors that the whole ' romance ' aspect of it seems unbelievable to these modern eyes . but it was clearly not out of the mainstream for 1930 .\nyou , the women of south sudan , have shown your leaders and the world that you won ' t be silenced or sidestepped .\nwhile you do make some very good points , i have some thoughts to share on \u201cgrease\u201d\u2026more about the 1978 movie than the play itself .\ncraig : no , you\u2019re thinking of a zephyr . a sephora is one of those greek vases with the two handles and the pictures .\nwilliam lebaron ( based on the play :\ni love you\n) , j . walter ruben ( adapted for the screen by )\nbut the happy hour is incredibly tempting ( and drinks will ease the pain of the sunburn right ? ) . it ' s only when the sun goes down , and it starts to get chilly that your bikini or swim shorts don ' t seem like such a good idea .\nopen day and night , this laid -

fire dialog and the plot twist of twists , wherein the socialite snob falls for the oxford butler while the ' flapper ' fianc\u00e9 is falling for the disguised electrician . but when she suspects that darby is just a romantic wolf , trying to charm every woman in the party , she recoils from him in disgust and sadness . that ' s actually a very touching moment . how it all works out is rather predictable for today ' s viewers but it may have been a workable premise for that time .\nfun facts : 1 . the tune performed repeatedly by henry armetta on the violin is \u201cyou\u2019re always in my arms\u201d from rio rita ( 1929 ) , an rko radio release of a few months earlier . 2 . the play , \u201ci love you , \u201d opened on broadway in new york city , new york , usa on 28 april 1919 and had 56 performances . the opening night cast included richard dix , robert strange and ruth terry . dix played the role of the electrician in the stage version as well .\nthis is a musical that almost always gets a pass because of its excellent soundtrack . all the dancing , singing , and pretty costumes distract you from the horrible , terrible , no good , very sexist plot ! but it\u2019s not just the main plot\u2014every little side story or comment is sexist , too . and don\u2019t give me the excuse that this musical was written during \u201ca different time\u201d . it was written in the 70s , well after the women\u2019s liberation movement began ; it should at least be a little better than the musicals written in the late 50s and early 60s . and the argument that grease is accurately portraying the sexism of the 1950s is also not true . grease portrays the 50s about as accurately as disney portrays chinese culture in mulan . and even if you could prove to me that this portrayal is accurate , it still doesn\u2019t change anything . shows like mad men portray the sexism and racism of the generation they\u2019re depicting , but they never glorify it or shy away from how terrible it is . grease doesn\u2019t do that .\nthey were a curious lot ; strange as an overpatched skirt , holding together with the sheer force of womanly companionship , but there was beauty in the mismatched colors of the skirt . each one of them brought a different strength to life , so together they could survive day and embracer the night .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline tops the list of movies that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\nbut now , as the corporate group known as the chroma conclave threatens to demolish their school and commercialise the entire city of tal ' dorei , they must pull together and do whatever they can to keep them at bay .\nowen meets with lawyers in the lawsuit . apparently they are suing the hospital because they are the ones that chartered the flight and the airline apparently has a history of mechanical issues but how would the airline know . seriously ! poor owen he approved hiring the airline without checking their safety record . it\u2019s okay owen , they kept izzy after she stole a heart . also there might be a conflict of interest because he is married to cristina , honestly shit happened but i tuned most of this story -

service supermarkets , which i had seen for the first time on the continent . i would like to think that over the next 50 years , we had a conscience in where we located our shops . typically , we found that our model worked well when we were located in close proximity to centres of population . in many cases - like kilkenny , carlow and clonmel - we were in the heart of those towns .\nlike i said before , the funny part is seeing how dim farnsworth and van horne are portrayed here versus farnsworth ' s butler brooks ( anthony bushell ) and darby the electrician . the two working class men discuss poetry , labor relations , and the burden of a good education early on in the film . apparently brooks , highly educated , took a job as a butler since all potential bosses were suspicious of his education and knowledge .\ni see it in the wrinkled hands of a man fastening a jacket he designed himself . he laughs and tells me if i care to hear it , he\u2019ll tell me about the years he spent in the lower east side designing clothes for drag queens . the hours he\u2019d lay on the floor and laugh while they sang and sauntered and how they looked 20 feet tall like gods among men towering in their heels through the wooden apartment floors . how they\u2019d tackle every stair of a 6 floor walk up apartment in their stilettos and strip off the jackets he\u2019d make them ; leaving them safe on an arm chair .\nrichard dix fairly acquitted himself . i enjoyed seeing anthony bushell ( whom i remember fondly from one of my favorite pre - codes , five star final ) as the butler . the other actors and actresses were just so - so \u2026 ranging from occasionally good ( the actor who played jimmy ) to downright dreadful ( the actress who played betty ) .\nireland will definitely see some new arrivals across the various retail categories as many european and american models look to establish a foothold here - this will change the high street landscape .\nin a nutshell , the action follows the tribulation of peter darby , an electrician ( richard dix ) who becomes the willing participant of a bet between a rich client , farnsworth ( allen kearns ) and his socialite friend van horne ( selmer jackson ) . the wager is that under optimal circumstances ( environment , full moon , music , poetry ) , the mood makes it impossible for any woman to resist falling in love with any man .\nin mac -

shaming and virgin - shaming . i recently wrote about how ridiculous it is that , no matter what , women are shamed for their sex life , whether they are virgins or sexually active . sandy is shamed and made fun of by rizzo and the other girls for not having sex ( \u201clook at me , i\u2019m sandra dee\u201d ) . then rizzo gets pregnant and it is portrayed as almost her just punishment for making fun of sandy . rizzo sings the song \u201cthere are worse things i could do , \u201d again keeping up the theme of virgin -

tasks by writing , producing , staring , directing and even editing a movie that is as self - aware as those who embraced the original . it\u2019s not so much an exercise in filmmaking but more a celebration of the maddening obsession people have about a movie that no one else liked . in order to get showgirls 2 : penny\u2019s from heaven , one must first get showgirls .\nhi , my name is rena riffel . most people\nknow me\nas\npenny / hope\nfrom the movie showgirls .\nand all of this would lead to a great movie if it weren\u2019t for two major problems . at an inexplicable 2 hours and 30 minutes , showgirls 2 : penny\u2019s from heaven is a slog to sit through and it outstays its welcome at around the hour mark and just about makes it to 90 minutes . but then it keeps going for another hour . there are laughs to be had but the movie is exhausting and isn\u2019t helped by the other issue \u2013 it looks like garbage . showgirls 2 : penny\u2019s from heaven doesn\u2019t look like a low budget movie , it someone how manages to look worse than a no - budget production . troma films wish they looked this bad . it\u2019s also littered with editing errors that one could argue are intentional , but its a hard case to fight for when the film looks this awful . riffel claims the movie cost $ 30 , 000 , which is almost impossible to believe as there are hundreds of self - made youtube videos made for peanuts with better production values . it almost makes it unwatchable and while the showgirls obsessives may be able to look past it , showgirls 2 : penny\u2019s from heaven looks beyond amateur .\nnever have i come so close to not making it through a movie . i mean that on all levels : falling asleep , turning it off or simply just ending it all . at two and a half hours long , showgirls 2 : penny ' s from heaven is unrelenting in its quest to destroy your sanity and soul with painful boredom .\nand in that sense , showgirls 2 : penny\u2019s from heaven works . it\u2019s not brilliant , but it works . it directly parodies scenes from showgirls but you have to know the movie well enough in order to get the joke , which further plays to the audience it was intended for . it\u2019s as dumb as its protagonist and it knows it . going over the plot would pointless because it almost doesn\u2019t matter . but you can expect pool sex , brown rice and veg , beads on stage and several cameos from the original movie\u2019s cast . everything a showgirls obsessive would want is on show and written with a kind of self - awareness that most modern day parody writers wish they had .\nthis is the kind of movie which can serve as an example of why star ratings in reviews don\u2019t work . at its base value , showgirls 2 : penny\u2019s from heaven might just be one of the worst movies ever released to a wide public . the acting is horrendous , the editing is sloppy and the film looks worse than a low - rent high school theatre production . but it\u2019s a movie that is made for a certain audience and they are going to lap up every minute of it like doggy chow . so , in that sense , showgirls 2 : penny\u2019s from heaven is a kind of a work of genius . if the film had been shorter and shot to look like an actual movie , it would have been one of the better parodies of recent memory .\nit\u2019s not uncommon for movie studios to produce cheap straight - to - video \u201csequels\u201d to well - known movies based solely on name recognition , often with virtually no connection to the originals . at first glance , you might expect showgirls 2 : penny\u2019s from heaven to be one of those movies , trading on the notoriety of paul verhoeven\u2019s infamous 1995 flop , which has developed into a cult classic . but showgirls 2 isn\u2019t a cheap studio cash - in ; it\u2019s a bona fide labor of love for writer / director / producer / editor / star rena riffel , who played the small role of stripper penny slot in the original movie , and here brings penny center stage as the main character in her own story .\nit\u2019s the movie virtually no one was asking for , a sequel to paul verhoeven\u2019s much maligned showgirls \u2013 a film that was nominated for so many razzies that verhoeven himself showed up to accept the awards . but after the film bombed at the box office , it found new life on the home video market and midnight screenings . just like troll 2 , many film fans embraced the camp factor of showgirls and have now hailed it as a modern masterpiece with even award winning filmmakers like quentin tarantino putting their stamp of approval on it . this rise in popularity has led us to this point \u2013 showgirls 2 : penny\u2019s from heaven .\npenny , a minor character from the first showgirls , is still working as a stripper but has big dreams to be a star on a low - budget tv dancing show .\nin short , if you are among the many who have embraced showgirls , enjoy quoting it with your friends and play the drinking game , you will get a real kick out of showgirls 2 : penny\u2019s from heaven . it looks like garbage , but grab some friends together and prepare to relive some of your favourite campy moments in a brilliant self - aware capacity . but if you\u2019re a regular film watcher who dismissed showgirls as nothing more than expensive and exploitative trash , this is one to avoid .\nshowgirls 2 is sort of a funhouse - mirror version of the original , with numerous lines repurposed and uttered by different characters , famous scenes re - created in new contexts , cameos from other showgirls bit players , and a surreal , dreamlike quality that\u2019s either an intentional artistic choice or an illustration of riffel\u2019s sheer ineptitude as a filmmaker . most likely it\u2019s a little bit of both , as showgirls 2 is clearly a grand artistic statement with bargain - basement production values and a remarkable lack of talent onscreen . while the original showgirls was bad in a big , overblown hollywood way , a boondoggle of a would - be blockbuster , showgirls 2 is bad in a much more personal , idiosyncratic way , more similar to movies like the room or birdemic than it is to verhoeven\u2019s bombastic failure .\ngodhardt :\nwhat ' s your name ?\npenny :\num , i can ' t remember . olga . helga .\nfunny , stupid and aware that it ' s both , showgirls 2 is the cinematic equivalent of playing dumb . at its most basic , this is a movie about how much fun it is to obsess and quote and remember showgirls , or any enormously ridiculous movie , for that matter . it ' s commentary under the guise of babble .\nrena riffel\u2019s penny is the black heart of the movie , and is the literalized version of all the criticisms aimed at elizabeth berkeley\u2019s nomi malone . penny is still married to james , the black security / valet / dancer / choreographer from the original movie who gets penny pregnant . james is now a t - shirt maker with terrible sayings on them ( \u201clife sucks . shit happens . where do you get these , off t - shirts ? \u201d ) , but doesn\u2019t make enough money from his job to give penny the life she wants . penny leaves james , and starts hitchhiking to hollywood ( nomi\u2019s destination in the final frames ) , where she catches a ride in a porsche from jeffrey , played by dewey weber who gave nomi her ride to vegas . jeffrey steals her luggage , leaving her destitute in the middle of the woods , as one does .\nas punishing and bizarre as showgirls 2 is , it\u2019s also not entirely fair to dismiss it as a waste of time . riffel has at least some level of self - awareness , and some of the movie\u2019s self - consciously nonsensical lines are hilarious . she\u2019s cited john waters , david lynch ( in whose mulholland drive she had another bit part , also referenced here ) , andy warhol , and of course verhoeven himself as influences , and there\u2019s a certain trash - auteur quality to her work . not that it makes showgirls 2 any easier to watch , but it does at times turn it from a painful disaster into a fascinating one .\naw jeez , i was so much happier 2 minutes ago , before i knew this existed .\nkatya to penny during a dance instruction :\ndon ' t be afraid of using your pussy . come on , it ' s right there .\nthe film features numerous cast members from the first film who reprise their original roles . these include\nthe funny thing about showgirls 2 , is that it was produced , written , directed and stars rene riffel , who played penny in the original showgirls . riffel is clearly a huge fan of her previous work , because she rips it off wholesale . lines , themes and characters - types are all fair game for the poaching goes on here .\nshowgirls had raised in infamy , yet rena riffel\u2019s career would not recover . this was probably not aided by david schmader making a special note of rena riffel\u2019s participation in the commentary track , wondering where rena riffel had gone . eventually , rena riffel would finally become secure with her place in hollywood infamy . she even showed up at peaches christ\u2019s 15th annual showgirls screening .\nchoose 1 of 2 free * posters with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nif that wasn\u2019t enough , rena riffel plays penny like a severely dumb blonde who periodically has emotional flashes of anger and petulance . she fills the movie with quotables , including recalling some of the best lines from the original . in a lesbionic hot dog scene that mirrors the spago scene , penny muses , \u201cin vegas , everybody\u2019s a vegetarian . they only eat brown rice and vegetables . \u201d penny constantly repeats that she needs to take ballet classes at alvin ailey or julliard . at one point , somebody comments , \u201ci don\u2019t know what\u2019s worse : your dancing or your camel toe . \u201d\nfor riffel , it ' s been a twisted emotional journey , perhaps not unlike that of nomi malone herself . the ridicule showgirls faced upon theatrical release\nwas kind of devastating ,\nshe told me . she ' s in regular contact with its director , paul verhoeven , whom she initially asked to direct showgirls 2 . he declined but , along with the first movie ' s executive producers , gave her his blessing to pursue this passion project .\nhe said it was the most painful , hurtful , negative experience and he would never step foot back in the showgirls world again .\nshowgirl\nis a new film by actress / filmmaker rena riffel ( showgirls , striptease , mulholland dr . ) a story of being a showgirl after\nshowgirls\n.\nlet the show begin . . . again ! it ' s\nshowgirls\nmeets\nsunset boulevard\nmeets\nwhatever happened to baby jane ?\nmeets\nmommy dearest\nin a g -

( c ) official site\nclocking in at 2 : 20 ( the same running time as the original ) , showgirls 2 almost tries your patience . but , the ludicrous and surreal plotting , the references to rena riffel\u2019s career ( she also directly references / pisses on david lynch and mulholland drive ) , the gratuitous dialogue , the terrible sets , and the intentional awfulness of the whole venture creates an ethereal bitterly hilarious air of audaciousness that makes showgirls 2 eminently watchable . unfortunately , in order to get the humor , you must either be well versed in showgirls and its lore , or have watched it as part of a double feature . riffel walks the fine line of shitty low budget filmmaking and winking satire , but only if you know what she\u2019s referencing does one turn into the other .\nshowgirls 2 was inspired by the adoration the first movie has earned , which riffel has seen on a firsthand basis while attending screenings . as of now , showgirls is the last great hollywood camp classic , where opulence informs its ridiculousness as much as clunkiness . for the past few months , she ' s been screening her own film in los angeles . she says the showings have been well attended and met with appreciation . ( it ' s also available on amazon\nriffel reprises the role she played in paul verhoeven ' s masterpiece of trash , the hopelessly dim penny . having been anointed the protagonist for this go round , penny is en route from vegas to hollywood in hopes of appearing on a dance show called star dancer that seems to consist of a single , piss poor solid gold dance and is maybe not even a show at all because all of its action takes place in a black -

trying 145 minutes ( 14 minutes longer than the original ) , showgirls 2 follows penny as she hitchhikes her way out of las vegas to l . a . , to pursue her dream of appearing as the star of a dance show called , appropriately enough , star dancer , which looks like it was shot in a dingy basement tricked out with a stripper pole . the whole movie looks like it was shot in the home of someone\u2019s eccentric relative , despite allegedly taking place in the entertainment capital of the world . penny leaves vegas at the urging of a hollywood movie producer ( which is exactly how he\u2019s described on his business card ) , but somehow she ends up in a \u201cgated community\u201d called seven sisters , which is more like some sort of weird cult compound .\nif pure camp requires unawareness , then showgirls 2 ' s script alone ensured it wouldn ' t hit the gold standard \u2013 it ' s more reminiscent of john waters or troma in its self - consciousness . but that awareness is actually exponential because riffel has also embraced the human - error aesthetic that plays a major role the appeal of neo - camp like the room and birdemic : shock and terror . in the case of those films , sloppiness seems accidental ; in showgirls 2 , it ' s included for effect (\na lot of times i didn ' t have other takes ,\nriffel adds ) . the mishmash of a consistently sharp script and incompetence , the by - any - means - necessary approach to entertainment , reminds me the most of beyond the valley of the dolls , which was in turn a hilarious satire ( penned by roger ebert ) and a terrific mess ( check the way dolly read ' s british accent dips in and out for tea ) .\nthe budget for showgirls 2 is miniscule . riffel had a kickstarter for the movie , budgeted at $ 5 , 000 ( it made $ 5 , 200 ) . riffel knew she wasn\u2019t going to have the $ 45 , 000 , 000 that the original showgirls was budgeted at . instead of making a movie which tried to emulated the film , she just ripped it to shreds . the fancy scenes at the cheetah are replaced by a tiki bar . the spago scene is hot dogs over stove in a kitchen in a house . several of the outdoor scenes look like they were done on a forest turnout on route 101 in northern california . all of the cheapness really help sell the satire . where showgirls was rich and lush trying to mask its trash qualities , showgirls 2 is cheap and garish pointing out the awfulness of the original .\nthis looks like some weird shit . i might have to check it out ( as i do love me some showgirls ) .\nshowgirls 2 is where old camp meets new , where the opulent hollywood bomb gets an amateur ' s translation . i talked to riffel by phone and she told me that the film ' s budget was around $ 30 , 000 ( in a penny - like admission , she explained ,\ni ' m not even sure anymore , \u2018cause we just kinda lost track .\n) . it was shot in different places ( mostly in los angeles ) in 30 days over a four - month period in the middle of 2010 . the film is riddled with technical glitches in its continuity , sound editing and its actors ' readings . weird intonations and flubbed lines occur regularly .\njimmy : you ' re not dumb , you just play dumb . penny : like a possum ? jimmy : no . a possum plays dead , not dumb .\nyou ' re not old . i ' m old . i ' m like thirty - s\u2026something .\nshowgirls was a flop of epic proportions . it failed at the box office , became joke fodder for late night talk shows , was even a punchline in scream 2 , and killed the careers of all the bit players , as well as star elizabeth berkeley . it was such a big flop , it also killed the box office of the next stripper movie to follow in its wake , 1996\u2019s striptease , in which rena riffel also had a bit part .\nsimultaneously , david schmader had been touring with the dvd of showgirls , giving annotated screenings with the fast forward and rewind button handy . he started here in seattle , but eventually took the screenings on tour and became infamous enough to secure his role on the commentary track of the vip edition ( and subsequent blu - rays ) of showgirls . his screenings highlight the quotability of showgirls , as well as the ridiculousness and the cinematic trashiness .\nokay so i watched this shit show this weekend , mainly because it ' s on prime video , and boy is it godawful . my friends and i found that the best way to watch this , that actually kinda worked , was to watch 4 - 5 minutes of the movie depending on bad it was and then skip about 10 minutes and repeat . doing this actually made it quite an enjoyable experience , but that ' s like comparing getting shot in the foot to getting shot in the head . another issue i had with this movie was that i couldn ' t remember the main character from the first film since there were literally dozens of showgirls on the screen at any one time , and she wasn ' t one of the main 5 - 6 showgirls to the best of my memory . i don ' t even think you can call this a parody , but rather a shitty copy of an already shitty movie from the opening hitchhiking scene with the guy in his\nuncle ' s million dollar porsche\nto the fact that it includes glen plummer reprising his role from the first movie for a needless cameo , or that it includes basically no showgirling but rather appearances by a guy who looks like the devil and a snuff film ring , this would be an amazing live show episode .\nspecial thanks credit in the film ! ! that ' s right , your name will appear in the credits in a beautiful montage . it ' s pretty amazing to see your name in a movie , and you will be part of showgirl history ! ! !\nthat only touches on the main\nplot\nelements of showgirls 2 , but be advised that there ' s an unending supply of pointless scenes and subplots , from random outdoor bathroom breaks to spats between gay lovers to the reoccurring maid\u0097all for no reason . the same goes for the headscratching script , though at least the dialogue is entertainingly bad . you can see most of them in the best lines section below , but there are plenty of winners : -\nthere ' s an art to a good wiener .\n-\nwomen are like bananas : they ' re sweetest when they ' re ripe , right before they shrivel . but you , you ' re a banana split , with a cherry on top and nuts .\n-\ni don ' t know what ' s worse your dancing or your cameltoe .\n-\ni ' m like a burger drive - thru and instead of a burger it ' s a whore with fries and a soda .\n- and james ' amazing shakespearean soliloquy where he waxes poetic about dancing , aids and swine flu , arthritis and following your dreams .\nan amazing talented cast has come together to make a musical movie , showgirl . cast members i have worked with before on showgirls and mulholland drive will appear in the film , and peter stickles from\nshort bus\n/\nthe lair\n, and many more that i will announce ! ! i have written the script and am directing the movie . ( i played\npenny / hope\n, the naive blonde stripper who ends up pregnant by glenn plummer ' s character ,\njames\n, in the 1995 cult classic showgirls . i then starred with demi moore in striptease , again playing the ditzy blonde stripper role , and david lynch cast me in his masterpiece , mulholland drive . . . playing , well , kind of the same character , lol ) so , that is who i am , maybe you remember seeing me in my past films .\neven your faithful reader was holding screenings back in the midwest of showgirls complete with drinking games . i started holding these screenings in 2001 , after i had witnessed the glory of showgirls on widescreen vhs ( omg ) . these screenings had a regular cast of my favorite outcasts in the audience , and they were joyous fun .\nso it ' s pretty much the first film , except the title character is a terrible dancer who has no skills despite having aspirations to be famous . ( over an hour in , she finally gets her first dance lesson . ) penny is now in a relationship with james , who since the first movie has gone from dancing to selling t - shirts that say\nlife sucks .\n( elizabeth berkley ' s nomi is never mentioned . ) she finally gets fed up that he won ' t teach her to dance due to her lack of skills , so she packs up and sets out for hollywood where she thinks she can be a dancer on tv . along the way , penny stumbles upon random characters and situations\u0097gets her stuff stolen while hitchhiking , witnesses some celebrity impersonators get murdered , and meets a guy who immediately recognizes her because she gave him a lapdance in 1995 .\nwhile rena riffel struggled to find fame in hollywood , showgirls rose in infamy . all the way back to 1997 , peaches christ , a san francisco drag queen , started showing showgirls as an annual part of her midnight mass series . eventually , the midnight mass screenings would include staged recreations of the film highlights , and also a lap dance free for all from a bunch of volunteers in a variety of costumes ( you have to buy a large popcorn ) . they now occur at the castro theater , one of the classic movie houses .\non the surface , this film seemed like it had potential to reach the room - levels of badness , with its amateur acting , gibberish script , random characters and a complete lack of a plot or story structure . it even has a similar writer - director - star that has no clue how to act like a real emoting human being , let alone make a movie . but somehow along the way , showgirls 2 just loses that intangible\nhappy trainwreck\nvibe of tommy wiseau ' s movie and instead becomes a full - on pileup of suck . maybe if it was cut down to an hour and 20 minutes , it might be trashy , campy fun . but as it is , it ' s intolerably boring\u0097just killing time when it ' s already so long that time is killing you .\nshowgirl is my personal autobiographical\nfollow up\nto my past films and my\ntype - cast character\n. . . . i go beyond showgirls . if i was on saturday night live , i would like to call it a\nsleazquel\nor a\nsatire\n. it ' s a story of overcoming obstacles and accomplishing your dream . it ' s an inspirational story , but also reveals the dark seedy side of trying to become a famous dancer , doing what you have to do to become a star . the film is a drama , but the script has some classic lines and oscar worthy monologues by the cast members . . . think , sunset boulevard meets showgirls meets rocky horror picture show . . . but , it ' s not a comedy , it ' s a drama , a tragedy , like a shakespeare plot but set in the dance world .\non some level i have to believe that multi - hyphenate rena riffel is aware of what she ' s created . it really feels like she ' s trying to make a david lynch movie ( an odd direction to go , though riffel did work with him on mulholland drive . ) , but has no idea what she ' s doing . at first i thought i was in for some brilliant post - modern counterattack to the culture of criticism lodged at the first showgirls , but it soon became apparent that the sequel can ' t decide if it wants to be a goofy parody of its predecessor or campy trash like its predecessor . instead riffel just ends up making an even worse version of the 1995 film . it follows the same basic structure , hits the same plot points and even recreates a lot of the more famous scenes . you get the same hitchhiker to bookend the movie , the same understudy betrayal plot and the same ridiculous pool sex scene . riffel even brings a lot of the same actors from the first movie to reprise their roles , though aside from glenn plummer ' s dancing mentor james , they ' re all minor characters you probably won ' t remember .\neventually penny makes it to l . a . , where she meets a young violinist named godhardt who wants to open his own cabaret and make her a star . he takes her to a strange club full of swastikas and singing demons but she doesn ' t mind . she does sort of mind when she discovers godhardt is actually engaged and that he only wanted to pimp out penny as a prostitute . but she gets over it and falls in love with her first john and celebrates by having a pillow fight with her maid . ( oh yeah , she ' s broke but lives in a mansion and has a full - time maid . ) at first godhardt ' s wife is penny ' s evil dance rival , but as soon as it ' s necessary to the plot , the pair become bffs . they dance together , talk about their dreams\u0097and then share a hot dog lady and the tramp - style . at this point , i took a break to evaluate my life and cry out ,\nthis movie has to be doing this on purpose , right ?\nthen penny and the middle aged woman engage in crazy pool sex just like elizabeth berkley and kyle maclachlan and i sort of gave up . the rest of the movie just descends in to further and further stupidity that may or may not involve a snuff film and a secret cult , a four - way sex scene with movie studio execs , and a murder trial .\nluke owen is one of flickering myth\u2019s co - editors and the host of the flickering myth podcast . you can follow him on twitter @ lukewritesstuff .\npaul verhoeven , joe eszterhas and elizabeth [ berkley ] , they were right ,\nshe says , relating her epiphany .\nwhat they did with showgirls was right .\nlas vegas stripper , penny slot ( rena riffel ) , sets out on an adventure to become the star dancer on a dance television show . with stars in her eyes , she tries to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but instead finds danger in a town more wicked than sin city . romance then leads her down a path towards her dream of stardom , fame , and fortune . but danger lurks at every twist and turn while penny slot becomes lured by a dangerous love triangle full of temptation and seduction . penny ' s longtime fianc\u00e9 / boyfriend , james\njimmy\nsmith ( ' glenn plummer ' ) warns her that she needs formal technique training if she wants to be taken seriously as a real dancer , so penny heeds his advice and sets out to take ballet classes and practices her pique turns . but , she must pay the price . and there is a price to pay for success , sacrifices to be made at every imaginable level , and it all comes down to . . . how bad do you want it ?\ni came here to recommend this movie to the hdtgm crew , but my assumption is that they ' ve passed it over because : a ) it ' s a low - budget indie film and therefore an unfair target for criticism . the movie is so excruciatingly long and so mind - breakingly bad that they have simply declared it unwatchable . c ) they are daunted by how much work it would take to fully address all the problems with this epic - length shitshow . it would require pages and pages of notes , and they ' d probably have to make two full episodes about it . this fucking movie is lotr length plus birdemic quality , so you really have to be a masochistic weirdo to voluntarily expose yourself to it . but hey , they did birdemic , so maybe they ' ll consider doing showgirls 2 . final note : showgirls 2 is the worst movie i ' ve ever seen . it ' s like a fever dream . watching it is a hallucinatory , out - of - body experience that can only be approached by birdemic or the neighbors on peyote . it will leave you reeling , questioning the nature of reality , filmmaking , and the very purpose of life .\ni can ' t stress how bad this film was , when i say it was bad , believe me it was bad . i ' ve seen bad b - films that were better than this . cinemax and showtime have better skin flicks on cable that look like a - list films compared to this . the only saving grace is the film ' s star , writer and director . . . rena riffel . i call her the saving grace of the film for one reason and one reason only and that ' s because she ' s friggin hot . . . well let me change that and say her body is hot , because riffel definitely has a butterface . there ' s plenty of riffel ' s killer body throughout this film , but as far as her acting , writing and directing skills , she seriously lacks in all three departments . i can ' t believe they actually considered this as a sequel to the 1995 t & a cult classic ' showgirls ' ? ! glenn plummer ( who reprises his original role ) is also in this film , but he obviously has loss much of his acting skills . . . or . . . he ' s probably on very friendly terms with riffel , if you know what i mean ? ! , because there ' s no other reason he would choose to do this film , unless he ' s doing riffel also . i ' m going to apologize in advance because i ' m a fan of both actors , but come on ? ! anyway , watch this film if you ' re only out to see some riffel bootay , other than that i have to advice people to stay away from this film . . . . far away .\nthat ' s what i was thinking when i started watching , but as the wheels slowly started to come off , i was hooked . a laugh riot .\nlas vegas stripper , penny slot ( rena riffel ) , sets out on an adventure to become the star dancer on a dance television show . with stars in her eyes , she tries to find the pot of gold at the . . .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .\nlas vegas stripper , penny slot ( rena riffel ) , sets out on an adventure to become the star dancer on a dance television show . with stars in her eyes , she tries to find the pot of gold at the . . . see full summary \u00bb\nriffel had started , as many actresses do , with uncredited bit parts . when she was finally offered a part in a multi - million dollar movie helmed by one of the hottest directors in hollywood , i imagine she thought it was her big break . that director was paul verhoeven , who was fresh off the triple streak of robocop , total recall , and 1992\u2019s basic instinct . better yet , the film was scripted by joe eszterhas , who co - wrote basic instinct as well as flashdance and jagged edge . the best part was probably that her character wasn\u2019t just named , but she even had a small scene centered around her name . the movie ?

we ' d love to hear from you !\ni enjoyed the hired hand because of its simplicity . i like a slow moving western in which the characters can be developed . the hired hand had three interesting characters who used dialog sparingly ( fonda , oates , bloom ) . the movie had a sense of believability to it . it is a well done movie and i applaud its creators . i had not heard of this film until stumbling across it yesterday . i plan on recommending it to friends . the realism contained in the acting and scenery make it stand out . although it contains some violence , it was secondary to the build - up of tension that led to it . i enjoyed fonda ' s quiet nature and oates ' sincere friendship he had for fonda . movies this good that you have never heard of before are hard to find .\neach bed has its own lockable storage space which requires a padlock ; please bring your own or you can purchase or hire them at reception . in all instances bathroom facilities are shared and most rooms have their own hand basin . prices include all bed linen bar towels which can be hired at reception if you don\u2019t have your own .\nin this position , you will be hand soldering surface mount and through -

exposures and camera work that seems lyrical for a western .\nthe hired hand\nis a very quiet movie , for that matter , drawing on the detached mysticism that peter fonda always seems to exude . the music by bruce langhorne is a series of variations on simple themes , played in a straightforward manner by a few folk instruments .\nall rooms have pod beds ; each with a usb port , light and plug socket . the pod beds have curtains in order to give our guests privacy and rooms 1 , 2 & 5 have hand basins within the rooms .\nin a store as big as ours , we need all hands ( and paws ! ) . you will be provided a copy of a job description for the actual position you are hired in to . . . .\nvisually , the the hired hand is all long lenses , shallow focus , and rack focus . the exteriors lean on pretentious sunsets , silhouettes , and other ' atmospheric ' visuals . a third of the movie is silent montages using slow dissolves set to the pleasant but listless score by musician bruce langhorne . every few minutes the music re - starts , cueing another minute or three of zsigmond ' s clairol vistas superimposed over silhouetted cowboy hats . it may have seemed dreamy in 1971 , but it dies now , even in this beautifully restored dvd .\nhe returns with his best friend ( warren oates ) , and along the trail they come into contact with a malevolent villain named mcvey ( played by the satisfactorily evil severn darden ) . they injure mcvey , unwisely as it turns out . when they arrive at the ranch , the cowboy ' s wife takes him on as a hired hand to begin with . but he has changed and grown old enough to be the husband of a woman 10 years his senior , and at last she takes him back into her bedroom .\nwesterns lost their appeal in the seventies with the emergence of a younger audience , who were in the process of revising long held legends of the american west . a number of westerns made in the seventies , are , as a result , definitely not conventional re - tellings of heroism and the taming of the frontier . instead , they make a new space for themselves which allows little room for the glorification of violence , the genocide of the american indian , stultifying gender roles , or a style of myth - making that has little to do with the reality of a hard scrabble life lived on the borders of civilisation .\nthe hired hand\ndirected by and starring peter fonda , is a perfect and lovely example of this .\nwe have 2 rooms ( room 4 and room 7 ) which are female only , both are pod bed rooms ; room 4 has a small hand basin while room 7 is right opposite the female toilet / shower facilities .\nwhy is an off -

impressionistic feel comes from fonda having cut about 20 minutes of plot out of the movie , leaving a film that slowly feels its way along something approaching - but never quite being - a narrative .\nyour question is refreshingly hospitable and generous . many happy couples are reluctant to entertain the officiant at the reception . when the officiant is a stranger who is hired solely for the occasion and who does virtually no ceremony planning work with the couple , they are not positively required to invite him or her - although it is still a nice gesture .\nthe hired hand should be called an ' alternative western ' . it ' s definitely a product made in the wake of easy rider , when clueless studio executives either threw their hands up and gave money to young longhairs to make movies , or were themselves replaced by equally clueless longhaired kids . light in the story department and directed at a mannered crawl by peter fonda , the film no longer seems as unique as it did in 1971 , and really only has some interesting acting moments with verna bloom to recommend it .\nbut things at home aren\u2019t peachy , and harry\u2019s wife hannah , played by verna bloom with authentic hardscrabble frontier beauty , isn\u2019t so happy to see him . after all , the guy\u2019s been gone for years , and she\u2019s moved on . she allows harry to stay as a hired hand , slowly winning his way back into her heart . soon harry has to decide whether to stay with her or to save arch , who has fallen into the hands of dan\u2019s killers .\n[ font = century gothic ] [ color = sienna ]\nthe hired hand\nis a 1971 western directed by peter fonda ( his first , and perhaps only noticeable effort ) about a man who after several years wandering aimlessly with his pal through the west , decides to return to the wife he left several years before . the movie is deliberately paced and occasionally artsy . it is worthwhile because of the spotlight on the relationships between the characters and for one notable speech given by verna bloom who plays the abandoned wife . and warren oates has another very good performance in this movie . [ / color ] [ / font ]\nthe result of all this is that\nthe hired hand\ndoesn ' t pay off for audiences looking for a western . although good westerns have always been morality plays , most of them have arrived at morality after a journey through a violent and action - oriented story . that doesn ' t happen here ; the villain simply kidnaps the best friend , and announces he will cut off one of oates ' fingers every week until fonda comes to rescue him . this leads to a foredoomed confrontation and to a death that is as inevitable as the deaths at the end of\neasy rider .\nalthough jesse is falling hard for honey , he is hiding a secret . in actuality , jesse is not a hired hand , he is a texas ranger working undercover to discover the identity of the dangerous cattle rustlers in the area . as honey starts to fall in love with jesse and their relationship is taken to another level , the truth about jesse ' s identity is casting a shadow over their relationship . will honey be able to accept that the man she has fallen in love with is a texas ranger ? will jesse leave his job as a texas ranger for the love of a good woman ?\nwestern starring peter fonda as harry , a drifter who , with his friend archie ( warren oates ) , has crossed the plains of america in search of a better life . but tiring of the transient existence harry heads for home and the wife and child he left behind years before . at first his wife hannah ( verna bloom ) refuses to accept him back , forcing him to sleep in the barn and work the farm strictly as a hired hand . after time their romance rekindles , and they rediscover the happiness they had lost . but when bad news of archie reaches the farm , harry is faced with the most difficult decision he has ever had to make .\nthe ebert club is our hand - picked selection of content for ebert fans . you will receive a weekly newsletter full of movie - related tidbits , articles , trailers , even the occasional streamable movie . club members also get access to our members - only section on urltoken\ni just have to add my praise to continue the interest in the peter fonda master work -\nthe hired hand .\nin many ways , this is a key ' 70s era film ;

that he was not \u201coverly concerned\u201d with the criticisms ; that the meeting focused \u201con more important topics at hand , \u201d including the next milestone in iraq , the formation of a new government .\nthe hired hand looks and feels as if an aimless student filmmaker was set loose on a feature project . the thirty minutes of thin story are a surprise from respected screenwriter alan sharp , the creator of great screenplays like night moves , ulzana ' s raid and rob roy . two aimless cowboy - farmers tangle with horse thieves . the tall quiet one decides to return to the wife he deserted . there are some slow scenes of her resentment and eventual acceptance . when the family is finally re - formed , the slightly more talkative buddy realizes he ' s redundant and prepares to move on . then both men are drawn into a violent situation that again threatens the wife ' s happiness .\nbut oates gets to do more than that . he has a wonderfully quiet , romantic scene with verna bloom . sitting on the porch after a day working alongside harry , arch slowly reaches out his hand to touch her ankle ; it\u2019s a small , shockingly intimate moment . oates doesn\u2019t say much - he\u2019s mostly listening to her - but the tentative motion of his hand , the angle of his neck , the set of his mouth , say very much . it\u2019s a really wonderful moment of acting that\u2019s as good as any of the broader , badasser moments for which he was better known .\nthose visitors who have spent time on hired hand websites know that if they find an animal they ' d like to learn more about they can simply click the\nprogeny\ntab to see that animals production power . progeny are automatically displayed in this section saving valuable time for the site administrator . the site admin can also prevent animals from showing if they have sold them or feel they ' re not a good representation of what that cow or bull typically produces . but what if you want to show off an animals progeny and offspring more ?\nthe trip invitation promised a look at \u201cthe real situation on the ground in iraq . \u201d\n, and he has now found himself the only one of the four in the dock .\nthat\u2019s a pretty spoilery synopsis , since it\u2019s just about the entire movie . like i said , it\u2019s thin on plot , and the hired hand takes its time getting anywhere . but it\u2019s a great ride to take slowly . while fonda is way too serious as the cowboy seeking meaning , oates makes the entire picture with good humor and charisma . fonda gave up part of his producing fee to bring oates on , and you can see why - without the spark in arch harris , the film is dead in the water . oates allows you to understand the dilemma that harry faces at the end , and it\u2019s more than just deciding between his wife and saving his friend . oates , in every scene , no matter how mundane , gives you a glimpse of the camaraderie and good times of the road .\njohn 10 : 1 - 18 contains two of the seven so - called \u2018i am\u2019 ( \u03b5\u03b3\u03c9 \u03b5\u03b9\u03bc\u03b9 ) statements that characterise the teaching of jesus in john\u2019s gospel ;

acclaimed beijing blues , a triple award - winner at taiwan\u2019s golden horses last year . a low - budget documentary - style police - procedural about a police officer and the near - absurd challenges he had to face while patrolling his working - class milieu , beijing blues offers nuanced characters , an engaging narrative and a no - frills but all - heartfelt tribute to the difficult lives being led in china today . not that any of this is evident in crimes of passion : belying a title which would befit an erotic thriller \u2013 this is an official - sanctioned mainland chinese film , so that\u2019s a non - starter of a genre in any case \u2013 gao\u2019s latest film , which opened in china on august 8 , is vague about the transgressions being committed and convoluted about the emotions at play .\ngraduates in film and television studies have found work in the media and creative industries , including broadcasting corporations such as the bbc and path\u00e9 news , film production , journalism , media positions , teaching and television . some film and television studies graduates take higher degrees , notably our own ma in film studies , as well as phds . others have set up media production companies or have become freelance writers . comment from external examiner :\nthe content of the route is clearly in line with subject benchmarks . the modules on the route provide for a stimulating mix of subject matter themed variously around issues of theory , genre , industry and geographical / national location . the core skills demanded of the student : those of detailed investigation , cogent argument and debate , fluency in written and verbal response are in high demand in a knowledge economy . i was pleased to see that within the revalidated route the scope of student choice was maintained .\nde palma has also sprinkled the proceedings with waggish references to some of his earlier cult classics . a new plot development could have come straight out of\nsisters ,\nand the entire story , with its tale of a female power struggle that ends violently , is essentially an adult version of\ncarrie\nwith the cruelties located in boardroom instead of the locker room . these additions give\npassion\nan idiosyncratic personal touch that has become increasingly rare in movies these days , and that is one of depalma ' s hallmarks . this is a film that was clearly made by an individual , not a committee , and it shows in every frame .\nin your second year you have the opportunity to engage in a work placement , and in your final year you can choose either to do a further work placement , or a written project , producing a piece of research for an external organisation . we currently provide local producers and directors with pre -

telling logic in these movies is a moot point that passion amends through expressive cinematography and one of de carlo\u2019s more unique characters . the last four weeks have given us de carlo in two roles : saloon girl and femme fatale ( who visits saloons ) . de carlo failed to live up to the promise of her looks , or hollywood wouldn\u2019t allow her the chance . playing dual roles she inhabits her role as the beautiful clotheshorse we saw in salome , where she danced ( 1945 ) , and shrugs off those roles like a dirty coat by playing tonia .\nthe bbq revolution partners pty ltd producers lynne wilson , tait brady , stephen amis director stephen amis writers stephen amis , david richardson , angelo salamanca , serge de nardo australian distributor label distribution international sales guardian entertainment international synopsis darren \u2018dazza\u2019 cook is a loveable suburban everyman with an unshakeable belief in his family connection to captain james cook . \u2018dazza\u2019 harbours a passion for barbequing , but when he accidentally poisons his neighbours at his popular regular saturday bbq , dazza\u2019s reputation and dignity is on the line . to make amends he seeks tutelage from a notorious scottish chef known simply as \u2018the butcher\u2019 .\nlike so much of dwan\u2019s work , this film never seems to get the attention it deserves . those , mainly , westerns he made in the 50s , near the end of his long career , are uniformly good in my opinion . most were photographed by alton and this , combined with dwan\u2019s eye , made for visually fascinating films .\nin this film version of lloyd c . douglas ' spiritual novel , rock hudson plays a reckless playboy who is indirectly responsible for the death of a kindly doctor . the dead man ' s wife , jane wyman , refuses to accept hudson ' s apologies . when wyman is blinded , hudson decides to\ndo right\nby her anonymously .\nthis is a film i was introduced to via lon chaney jr . . . watching his westerns . this one is a pretty good western with a great cast - a few big names . the story gets interesting right from the start - so it drew me in after about 10 minutes of viewing and i ' m not a big fan of western movies .\nif this storyline sounds a bit familiar , it may be because the film is a remake of the 2010 french thriller\nlove crime ,\nwhich was directed by the late alain corneau and featured kristin scott thomas and ludivine sagnier in the roles now played by mcadams and rapace . de palma has made a few small but significant changes that improve on the original and transform it into a full - blooded brian de palma film . one subtle but important change is making christine and isabelle closer in age than in corneau ' s original . at first , this seems to make hash of the original ' s more overt boss - protege relationship , but it ultimately adds an intriguing new dimension . in depalma ' s film , when the promise of the new york promotion is arbitrarily offered to both women by their distant superiors , it cannily suggests that women in that sort of corporate environment are seen as being largely interchangeable\u2014and that christine may have a point when she goes to extremes to stand out from the rest of the crowd , and destroy someone who is too much like her for comfort .\njoining his rapturous visual style to elements that have driven him to artistic peaks over the years\u2014voyeurism , media manipulation , compelling female characters , unexpected narrative twists \u2014 depalma has made a film that simultaneously conveys the confident touch of a master and the energy of a newcomer eager to prove himself . the result is de palma ' s most satisfying movie since 2002 ' s\nfemme fatale .\nthe plotting of passion is nothing overly exciting or elaborate , just the facts and then a single minded obsession for the bulk of the movie but it works just fine . for a solidly average story and a low budget affair it has a lot of interesting and beautiful things going for it . director allen dwan spends a lot of time in the first parts of the film to show us wilde is a loving man and his new home is full of joy , contrasted with the mean acosto who whips his son and brutally murders women and the elderly defending their homes . as for the dual role , even a tomboyish de carlo is still a de carlo . instead of distinctly different looks the sisters are differentiated by behaviour , so she\u2019s just as gorgeous in both roles and it\u2019s amusing to see wilde so smitten with one while chuckling at the other when she says she owns a dress and plans to wear it . it won\u2019t surprise viewers that as the only remaining member of the family he loved , as a woman identical to his lost love , and as one so dedicated to helping wilde , he warms to her by the end of the picture .\nthis is a wonderful movie of the fifties , with a cast of stars that in today ? s film world would be unheard off . the budget to get these stars together today would make anyone faint . rock hudson , jane wyman , and agnes moorehead . i grew up thinking agnes moorehead was a witches mother and she looked like one on bewitched . but in this movie as in others from the fifties she proved to be a glorious actress . rock hudson plays the part of a young millionaire with not a care in the world till his life is save at the expense of another ? s . he then falls in love with the wife of the man who dies , and the only way to win her is losing his spoiled ways and obtaining a magnificent obsession . how can any film the rock appear in be awarded anything less the 4 stars .\non a whole , i am not usually a fan of western films . however , i gave this a try because of the role played by yvonne de carlo . she does a good job here of playing the role of twin sisters - one demure one fiery . the name of the film relates less romance and more revenge as de carlo and wilde set off to avenge the death of de carlo ' s demure sister . its good for a western !\nladies in black ladies in black film pty ltd producers allanah zitserman , sue milliken executive producers bruno charlesworth , morris ruskin , ronald zammit , julie zammit director bruce beresford writers bruce beresford , sue milliken australian distribution sony pictures releasing international sales agent sony pictures worldwide acquisitions group synopsis adapted from the bestselling novel by madeleine st john , \u201cladies in black\u201d is an alluring and tender -

rent villains , and raymond burr barrels around as a local police captain . it ' s an alan dwan film , so it ' s tight , pacy and good looking . some of the fun , though , is mitigated by the occasional sexism and having most of the authentic latino actors regelated to villain roles .\nraymond burr is so associated with his characterization of television lawyer / detective perry mason that his rich and varied career in film , radio , and television is often ignored . his face , in the words of perry mason creator erle stanley gardner , is cow - eyed . he is broad shouldered , heavy , robust , but excelled at playing introverted rather than extroverted characters . this may be , in part , why burr accomplished the rare television feat in which actor becomes almost thoroughly identified with character , the performer inseparable from the role . just as william shatner is james kirk , peter falk is columbo , and carroll o ' connor is archie bunker , burr is perry mason .\nthe devastated wilde spends the rest of the film looking for justice . the first clue comes when de carlo recognizes chaney\u2019s booming voice in town , but just on her word , they get no help from the local lawman , played by raymond burr . when wilde catches up to the first henchman on his list , he gets a confession but has to kill the criminal in self defense . a sympathetic burr distracts his partner anthony caruso , lets wilde and de carlo escape , and as wilde works his way through the gang members and finally the leader , you have burr trying to give wilde room without making caruso too suspicious , plus the question of how wilde will ever be reunited with his baby .\nand it is grounded , and made most exemplary , by cynthia nixon\u2019s performance . every actor in this movie is wonderful . but nixon\u2019s precision in portraying every particular mood of emily\u2014for each individual scene calls for absolute specificity\u2014is simply spectacular . there are points in emily\u2019s life when she is racked by illness , or possessed by a seeming madness . her fury at the misbehavior of a family member in one scene late in the film , as she rails against a perceived lack of integrity , is chilling because nixon makes the viewer see the extent to which emily is actually turning that rage back upon herself . every scene in the movie contains a performance revelation of almost equal power . i will be very surprised if i see a better performance from an american actor this year .\nterence davies is ever a filmmaker in search of lost time . i do not believe he has ever made a feature film that is set in the present day , unless you count his 2008 documentary on his beloved hometown of liverpool , \u201c of time and the city , \u201d a present day from which he mourned the past . this is not to say that davies is any kind of nostalgia monger . in gazing at the past , he casts a cold eye on the oppression suffered by his characters , particularly his female ones . see his staggering 2000 adaptation of edith wharton \u2019s \u201c the house of mirth , \u201d starring gillian anderson , a near -

( + tickets & downloads )\nhis clarity of exposition is just extraordinary , and the combination of physical gesture and inner life , which was so beautifully reflected in the skating of torvill and dean during the sixth suite , captures bach ' s very essence . bach himself was made to appear in the latter film , in the person of actor tom mccamus , spinning a narrative about his life and thinking which was intercut with the movements of the suite . informative , if somewhat naive in style , this biographical element was certainly more acceptable than the rambling discussions that overloaded the treatment of suite no 2 .\nthroughout the six films , one is amazed anew at how endlessly durable bach\u2019s stark , now life - affirming , now morose compositions are . they can take everything the filmmakers throw at them \u2014 even the tightly stylized rituals of kabuki theater and the harsh jackhammers and sirens of downtown boston .\nthe bach museum is open from tuesday to sunday . there is an admission fee , with free entry for children aged up to 16 . the museum is located opposite st . thomas church , which has a bus stop outside . walk here from nearby market square and the old town hall .\nthe bourr\u00e9e is in e minor while\nblackbird\nis in g major - so they share the same key signature of one sharp - and both use highly chromatic harmony , but there is no clear relationship . this makes me wonder why so many have assumed the bourr\u00e9e to be the correct bach piece . might it be some other ? as it turns out , no , it is the bourr\u00e9e . paul might not know the name of it , but he can still play it , and on 28 july 2005 , paul performed a live solo concert at abbey road studios , which was recorded and released as chaos and creation at abbey road . during the performance , he again cited bach as an influence on\nblackbird\nand even played a few measures of the bach original to illustrate the similarities ( which can be heard from about 37 : 39 - 38 : 51 in the video below ) .\nthe only similarity i hear by listening is that they ' re both played on acoustic guitars . ( but even then , the guitar paul played on\nblackbird\nhad metal strings , whereas classical guitars typically use nylon strings to give a warmer sound - and the above recording is no exception ) . perhaps score study will yield results .\njohann sebastian bach was born in eisenach in 1685 and was one of the most influential figures in the baroque music movement . although he has many famous works , including the soaring brandenburg concertos , his weekly commissions from churches in leipzig meant that he composed hundreds of songs , airs and toccatas before his death in 1750 .\nthey did for ice dancing what bach did for the cello ,\nsays mr . ma , who began playing the cello at age 4 .\nthey both work with a strict form , but through working this way , they ' re able to find unbelievable freedom of expression and freedom of depth ,\nhe says .\nit ' s half a tribute , half a joke about the technique of bach because it ' s a new way of creating music that we don ' t know anything about in pop . basically , when you do a pop song you put down some chords and you sing a melody on top of them , the counterpoint is something completely different . it ' s just melodies between them , which create a song by mixing them together - - there ' s not a chord . it was the origin of the project , when i recorded it went much further than that but because it was in the beginning , the first step , i just decided to call the album like that .\ncomputers have been working as a canvas , paintbrush , or musical instrument for a while now , says the director of the spanish artificial intelligence research institute . however , in addition to serving as tools for art , \u201cmachines are now also capable of creating something that did not exist before by combining known things in a new way . \u201d in other words , they can be creative .\nyet with all due respect to bach , the primary focal ( and marketing ) point and unifying factor at the core of these films is the indestructibly sweet personality and gentle charisma of yo - yo ma himself . with an almost ingenuous spirit , he glides serenely through each setting , exuding a calming presence even amidst the most bizarre or fractious personalities and situations .\n\u201cas the first rhine class river yacht , crystal bach will introduce a new standard of luxury in river cruising on many fronts , including the culinary concept and innovative experiences found on board , \u201d said edie rodriguez , ceo and president of crystal . \u201cwhile we are always pursuing new and distinctive experiences on each of our luxury vessels , our overall dedication to unsurpassed quality and abundant choices remains constant . \u201d\n\u201cthe culinary experience aboard all crystal vessels is meant to inspire travellers to discover more about the world they explore , as food and the camaraderie of dining is such an integral part of the travel experience , \u201d said toni neumeister , senior vice president of hotel operations . \u201cguests aboard crystal bach will not only enjoy extraordinary new and classic flavours , but also a taste of the history and culture of this beautiful region . \u201d\nmenu highlights will include fresh fish and seafood from holland , seasonal fruits and vegetables from germany and the netherlands , meat and poultry from farmers in bavaria and the austrian alps , along with wine , beers and cheeses that are specific to the region . in addition , guests will be able to enjoy coffees and teas by julius meinl , a vienna - based company which has crafted the beverages since 1862 . there will also be multiple dedicated vegetarian dishes .\nyeah , sometimes i had to be brave because i thought it was great and then the next morning it wasn ' t good . i had a lot of doubts and i was by myself , you know when you ' re in a band and you can share the process with someone ? when you ' re alone you never know if you ' re going in the right direction or not , because there ' s no one to tell you .\nan actor , tom mccamus , plays a melancholy bach , with pipe , contemplating god , death , his children , his patron prince leopold and other matters . ' ' life is a symphony of sorrows , ' ' he sighs . and unseen , but a most imposing presence , is the director , patricia rozema , who must be held responsible for the on - screen consequences of a hard - working camera and computer .\nsix gestures director - writer , patricia rozema ; based on an original concept by yo - yo ma ; falling down stairs director , barbara willis sweete ; choreographer , mark morris ; camera , milan podsedly ; editor ; david new ; sound , john j . thomson , steven epstein , charles harbutt . cast : yo - yo ma , mark morris , mark morris dance group . sarabande director - writer , atom egoyan ; camera , norayr kasper ; editor ; david [ \u2026 ]\nit caught me by surprise , after one minute i said \u2014 ' that ' s it , i have to change something in my life , what i ' m doing is not where i ' m meant to be as a human being . ' it was good when i started my career but right now with the experience and with all of my knowledge i understood that i was not making the music that i should considering all that i did in the past\u2014it was time for me to move on and turn the page , i understood that right away when i saw the documentary .\npaul further admitted that\nthe bit where we went wrong , i later took that , the idea that you get the bass line and the top line ( the melody ) and turned it into ' blackbird ' .\nand now it makes sense ! comparing the bourr\u00e9e ( as paul played it ) and\nblackbird\nside by side , we can easily see the similarity . the example below shows in blue notes that are identical between the two , while red notes indicate comparable ( if not identical ) similarities . further notice that paul adds several notes ( the black ones ) .\nthis is not the first time that bach\u2019s cello suites have been filmed ; as recently as 1992 , mstislav rostropovich performed the cycle for homevideo , but those were strictly performance films with added interview footage . what we have here are six mergers of ma\u2019s world with other art forms , captured in films ranging in style from a straightforward documentary to a self - contained film with its own storyline . in a sense , ma is looking backward and forward at the same time , planting his feet solidly in the cello repertoire\u2019s most hallowed ground while reaching out to six different film directors in order to break new ground .\nin the car , it ' s the best alignment to listen to music , i have no idea why but when you ' re in the car and you ' re driving i never thought of something better . so it ' s not contrepoint specifically , but music in general . especially in australia where you have those big roads . in paris we have a lot of traffic jams , but when you can drive in a car and put music loud and you ' re all a by yourself or you can share when you ' re with someone else . in the ` 70s kraftwerk would invite journalists to drive on the autobahn to listen to the autobahn album . i thought it was a great idea , just to discover the record .\ni was on tour and one of the musicians showed me a documentary about glenn gould and i was surprised by the guy\u2014i thought he had the charisma of all the rockstars that we like . the music he was doing has got so much energy in it . when you ' re young you listen to rock music , but when you look at glenn gould playing piano , there ' s so much life in it . as i get more mature in my life i keep on discovering new music without giving up the idea of someone young and charismatic doing something with some energy . i think gould was the best of both worlds\u2014the energy of rock ` n ` roll and the knowledge of the classics ; it was a great discovery for me .\nit was interesting to give the music to people and see what they ' d come up with . for each song i had four or five projects and the one i chose for orca and widerstehe were so close to the idea of each song . i remember when i studied my first bach song i had some coloured pens and i ' d make notes on the score , the video for orca is really visual and it explained the dynamic of the melodies , i was sure i would choose it . then , for widerstehe , the whole video was about temptation . i like the idea that when you ' re a human being , you ' re always attracted to a little danger , that ' s why when you ' re a teenager you smoke cigarettes when obviously it ' s horrible . in the video , surfing among sharks was the perfect example of this .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nleonard bernstein presents 7 - year - old yo - yo ma ' s high - profile debut for president john f . kennedy\nheinrich schiff , dmitri shostakovich cello concerto no . 1 in e - flat major , opus 107\nwe are updating our terms of service , privacy policy , and cookie and internet advertising policy effective may 25 , 2018 !

picks from his biography . 150 minutes of a stodgy victorian artist few remember become compelling thanks to the leigh\u2019s masterful combination of reality , invention , and myth . turner\u2019s myth , indeed , holds that he strapped himself to the mast of the ship in order to paint the sea , an image that forms one of the film\u2019s best scenes . his forcible affair with his servant , while awful to see , is of a piece with the rest of turner\u2019s character as leigh imagines him . when in mourning for someone close to him , turner visits a whorehouse simply to paint one , out of the same compulsive , hungry need that motivates him in every other corner of his life , for good or ill . all we once had left of turner were his paintings and a few biographies\u2014now we have a vibrant work of cinema to commemorate his art , and where it took us .\nunlike \u201ctopsy -

create turner\u2019s canvases cinematically than to capture something of the land and light as it might have inspired him : a steam locomotive cloaking the horizon in its exhaust ; boats at sea wreathed in a magic - hour glow . whereas leigh\u2019s much - vaunted work with actors has often dominated the discussion around his films , \u201cmr . turner\u201d should leave no lingering doubts that he is every bit as masterful a visual storyteller .\nmusical remake annie is the biggest unreleased title in the leak ; due in theaters worldwide next month , it opens wide in the u . s . on december 19 . still alice , the alzheimer\u2019s drama that\u2019s propelling julianne moore into the oscar race , hits limited screens on december 5 . mike leigh\u2019s period biopic mr . turner is set for a december 19 limited bow .\nusually , an artist biography attempts to account for the art , to make a bridge between who the artist was and what he created . \u201cmr . turner\u201d doesn\u2019t do that . turner\u2019s ability to paint is just a gift of vision that he happens to possess , just as his inexhaustible interest in seascapes seems innate and unexplainable . that , in itself , presents no problem \u2014 mozart\u2019s genius remained a mystery in \u201camadeus . \u201d but this film offers little in its place but a grunting man\u2019s day -

classical architect played by nicholas jones ] always wore britches and black stockings and that was a written fact . and it was great to play up the rivalry between john constable and turner and constable not being successful in his lifetime but turner being very successful . constable was painting in his shirt sleeves next to turner and that\u2019s how james fleet decided he would play constable . there\u2019s very little evidence for how people looked when they were painting . there is a painting of turner on \u2018varnishing day , \u2019 so we know how turner would be . it was all about your rank and your status and how you\u2019re perceived by your colleagues . you rarely see such social scenes played out in period films to that detail . \u201d\nthe portrait painted of the artist in\nmr . turner\nis as muddled and murky as his paintings were perceived to be by victorian london . despite exceptional costumes , sets and locations , despite very good acting , and despite a sublime soundtrack ,\nmr . turner\nis a complete failure of storytelling . turner ' s motives are never explained other than that he is a fading star whose avant - garde work is not appreciated ( although that is not a clear motivation in his relationships since his mistreatment of women seems to far predate his fall from the artistic firmament ) . is he a misogynist who rapes and abandons the women in his life and who has merely moved on to the next ? or does he love the women in his life but feels he must hurt and deceive them in order to protect them ( . . . from what ? ) ? the unanswered questions are legion and should not be mistaken for subtle script writing where clues supporting either conclusion are placed throughout the film . there are no clues , and any conclusions drawn by the audience are necessarily based on pure speculation .\nmr . turner\nshould have been a five - star film , but the lack of a discernible story leaves the film a mere period atmosphere piece with no compelling reason to see it .\nthe biographical drama takes us back to the nineteenth century when turner travelled and painted some of his renowned works , even though he was struggling with the death of his esteemed father . the film also highlights turner\u2019s eccentric behaviour which resulted in his being both celebrated and reviled by the public and royalty alike .\nalthough he has two grown daughters , family life is not for mr . turner . his art is all - consuming and he travels wherever he believes he ' ll find inspiration for his next works . he finds himself in the coastal town of margate , where he rents a small seaside apartment from widow sophia booth ( marion bailey ) , who goes on to become his last mistress .\nmr turner does not want for admirers . \u201cmike leigh and timothy spall\u2019s great achievement is showing us how the artist approached the physical business of painting , \u201d sir nicholas serota , the director of the tate galleries , tells me . \u201cbut they also convey the spirit of a man whose reputation as a curmudgeon is unwarranted , given his passionate interest in people and the world around him . there is a great humanitarian streak in turner and mike leigh has found a way of capturing this on film , as he has done so often before . \u201d\nadditional international titles announced in special presentations include mike leigh\u2019s \u201cmr . turner , \u201d laurent cantet\u2019s \u201creturn to ithaca , \u201d abel ferrara\u2019s \u201cpasolini , \u201d zhang yimou\u2019s \u201ccoming home , \u201d david oelhoffen\u2019s \u201cfar from men , \u201d ruben ostlund\u2019s \u201cforce majeure , \u201d shim sung -

1843 ) was sarah danby and turner ' s second illegitimate daughter . she died in childbirth , having married three years earlier .\nadditionally , the judge said he ' d considered the\nsevere impact\na state prison sentence would have on an offender of turner ' s age .\nj . m . w turner is an artist best known for his atmospheric paintings of landscapes . but he had another less known talent . he created bespoke galleries specially designed to display his paintings . in 1822 turner opened a gallery behind his west end house . the painting above by george jones shows us what it looked like . every aspect of the gallery \u2013 from its heating and lighting to the arrangement of paintings on its walls \u2013 was carefully planned by turner .\n* grumble * meet the unexpectedly hilarious - and i mean in chorus laughter from the entire cinema audience - life of mr . j . m . w . turner , celebrated british sea - view painter . * snarl * there is a scene in here that features an art critic circle discussing gooseberries growth and it overtrumps the best monty python sketches , i almost died laughing in my chair , an effect few comedies have managed to inflict on me and here mr . turner , announced as an drama / biopic , does it again and again and again . * grunt * * spew * featuring little plot besides seemingly unimportant and , above all , random passages is his life , the film is full of eccentric characters who turn uneventfulness into brilliance . * snort * we never get to care too much about\u2026\nimmersive , unhurried and beautifully created ,\nmr . turner\nwill premiere in competition at the festival de cannes on thursday with timothy spall commanding in the title role . it ' s a marvel both in its presentation of a very specific individual in his particular world and as an examination of the demanding power of the creative impulse . the film will be released later this year by sony pictures classics .\ntypically for director leigh , he expected his cast and crew to approach the film with devotion and artistic vigour , becoming experts on turner\u2019s art and victorian england .\nas spall explains : \u2018turner was charismatic . he may have been funny - looking but women liked him because he was a genius and they knew it . \u2019\napart from the fantastic characterizations and top - notch cinematography , the real beauty of turner ' s vision was his ability to find beauty in the seemingly ordinary .\ngage , john . j . m . w . turner :\na wonderful range of mind .\n. new haven : yale university press , 1987 .\nwith this play , mr . wilson also has begun to learn more about theatrical form - how to communicate to an audience that two weeks have passed between scenes , for example , and how to allow an actor time to change costumes between scenes .\nin recent weeks mr . turner has come under fire for taking such liberties , especially regarding the depiction of turner\u2019s unfavorable characteristics . in all of his films , leigh has the cast improvising their characters , with their best , most spontaneous lines becoming the content of the script . so however much research is poured into the roles ( reportedly months for most of the cast members here , and two years for spall , who took the time to learn how to paint ) , ultimately , the scenes that make it onscreen boil down to the imprecise art of chemistry and playacting .\nbringing on screen the life & career of one of the most prolific , gifted & distinguished painters to have ever lived , mr . turner could ' ve been a highly fascinating & interesting biopic as the icon it tries to resurrect on the film canvas was considered a highly controversial figure of his era but what it instead turns out to be is a 150 minutes of mostly lifeless cinema that feels twice as long .\nmr . turner is much slower moving and less incident - packed than topsy - turvy , leigh\u2019s bawdy and rollicking 1999 backstage comedy about the original production of gilbert and sullivan\u2019s the mikado . especially in the middle hour , there\u2019s a sense of narrative roominess , as if leigh isn\u2019t so much shaping turner\u2019s life into a story as simply letting it unfold before us in a series of everyday vignettes . but mr . turner does resemble topsy - turvy in its meticulous yet vibrant recreation of the past and its ever - expanding thematic amplitude . this is a movie not only about one particular artist , but about art as both a field of human endeavor and an object of shifting cultural and economic value . late in his life , turner\u2019s work began to move toward a kind of proto - abstraction , with broad washes of color so loosely painted they\u2019re all but unrecognizable as landscapes . popular opinion turned against him ( as leigh shows in the form of a mocking music - hall skit ) and his once - coveted paintings ceased to sell like as they used to . but turner\u2019s late style , now recognized as a radical innovation in painting , was praised by a few of his more forward - thinking contemporaries , including the critic john ruskin ( who appears here as an insufferably self - impressed fop played by joshua mcguire ) ."]}

term follow - up to study the outcome of surgical ablation in patients with coronary and / or valve disease and af . patients are prospectively enrolled and randomized either to group a ( cardiac surgery with left atrial ablation ) or group b ( cardiac surgery alone ) . the primary efficacy outcome is the sr presence ( without any af episode ) during a 24 - hour electrocardiogram after 1 year . the primary safety outcome is the combined end point of death , myocardial infarction , stroke , and renal failure at 30 days . long - term outcomes are a composite of total mortality , stroke , bleeding , and heart failure at 1 and 5 years . we finished the enrollment with a total of 224 patients from 3 centers in 2 countries in december 2011 . currently , the incomplete 1 - year data are available , and the patients who enrolled first will have their 5 - year visits shortly . prague - 12 is the largest study to be conducted so far comparing cardiac surgery with surgical ablation of af to cardiac surgery without ablation in an unselected population of patients who are operated on for coronary and / or valve disease . its long -

term outcome after ppci compared with fibrinolysis in the danami - 2 trial . it represents both the longest follow - up and the largest randomized study on this issue performed to date . we found that ppci compared with fibrinolysis carried a sustained reduction in the primary composite end point of death or reinfarction in the overall cohort . in the referral hospital substudy , ppci significantly reduced the composite end point by an absolute 9 . 3 % , all - cause mortality by 6 . 6 % , and reinfarction by 6 . 4 % . our long - term data thus reinforce that ppci should be offered to stemi patients , not only those admitted to an invasive hospital 1 , 2 but also those patients for whom transport from a referral to an invasive hospital can be completed within 2 hours .\nthese are not things that are crazy . these are not things that are extremely paranoid . these are obvious solutions that are being developed today because they ' re cheap and they ' re easy . this is something you don ' t even need a grad student to do . this is something a couple of bright undergraduates could do in a couple of months .\nit ended up a small study , but it ' s a clear indication that there is no obvious clinical difference , and in this case i think we should be grateful for that because i don ' t think that study will be done , ever again .\nthings scale up in ways that when people are designing the protocols they cannot anticipate .\nin recent years , unfortunately , we ' ve seen this happen again and again and again to people who were basically working , precisely with journalists , because you don ' t really see a lot of actual spies . the thing back in the day of people selling out government secrets for money , for personal gain , that ' s really not something that we don ' t have a big clash of ideologies in the world today that motivates that kind of thing that we used to see back in the \u201830s and stuff like that .\nbut focusing too much on bitcoin , i think , is a mistake . the real solution is again , how do we get to a point where you don ' t have to have a direct link between your identity all of the time ? you have personas . you have tokens that authenticate each person and when you want to be able to interact with people as your persona in your true name , you can do so . when you want to be able to switch to a persona -

cause mortality , cardiac mortality , noncardiac mortality , and reinfarction are shown in figure 2 . the composite end point was reached in 37 . 2 % of the patients , and 28 . 1 % died during follow - up . ppci was associated with significantly lower rates of the composite end point than fibrinolysis . this difference was driven mainly by an absolute 6 . 8 % reduction in clinical reinfarction and , to a lesser degree , by a nonsignificant absolute 3 . 5 % reduction in all - cause mortality .\nthe fibrinolysis group was treated according to the documented optimal standards in 1997 to 2001 . the danami - 2 study had a very low rate of crossover between the 2 groups , and < 50 % of patients in the fibrinolysis arm had pci performed within the first 3 years of follow - up . 6 a recent french registry study found that a strategy with liberal use of early angiography / pci ( 96 % coronary angiography , 84 % pci ) after fibrinolysis yielded 1 - year survival rates that were comparable to rates for ppci . 22 it is thus possible that a strategy of fibrinolysis combined with invasive treatment within 24 hours will be comparable to a strategy of referral for ppci , especially if transport to a hospital with interventional facilities cannot be completed within \u22481 to 2 hours . 16 , 23 however , the french registry data still need confirmation in a randomized design . until such data exist , interhospital transfer for ppci should be the standard treatment , when it can be completed within 120 minutes .\nas mentioned in the introduction , there are many types of energy sources that are widely used for creating the lesions : cryo - energy , radiofrequency , microwaves , laser , and high - frequency ultrasound . in addition , different sets of lesions are used in different cardiac surgery departments , from simple pulmonary veins ablation to extensive biatrial lesion sets . finding the best and most effective combination of energy source and lesion set for each patient is a very hot topic for discussion today . in our study , we decided to choose and define the lesion set ( described in the surgical procedure part of the article ) , as it was the standard frequently used method in participating cardiac surgery centers . the energy source was left to each participating center ; however , it was in almost 97 % cryo - energy , again as it represents the most frequently used method in those centers .\nmusician explains one concept in 5 levels of difficulty ft . jacob collier & herbie hancock | wired\nby anonymizing people , by allowing them to divorce themselves from their physical identity whether a member of a minority group and agreed to \u2013 religious group or something like that \u2013 they have a political affiliation that could get them jailed or killed in that country . if you allow them to divorce themselves through the technology , you ' re providing human rights ahead of the law , that law will eventually recognize and support .\n, browne kf , marco j . a comparison of immediate angioplasty with thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction .\nedward snowden : probably . i just moved a couple of steps up on the list after this discussion .\nunder a different name where they\u2019re trying to find the same self inaudible ids for common criminals .\nunder a different name where they\u2019re trying to find the same cellphone handset ids for common criminals .\nedward snowden : one of the biggest challenges , i think , for a free internet , or an open internet , a safe internet for the users is that we have an ability to divorce ourselves from physical identity .\nthe other ones are inaudible mixed in networks , for example , where we have multiple steps just like tor where they got these mixed inaudible in the bitcoin universe where they tumble the transactions of the bitcoins that go in it to pay for your purchase aren ' t the same bitcoins that go out .\njust like we ' ve got a presumption of innocence in courts , we should have that in the community as well . we do have to be careful . we do have to be suspicious , but we should really evaluate people on the basis of their work as opposed to whispered campaigns and things like that .\nunfortunately , the internet has many ways of providing a very cheap and effective means of interfering with those rights .\nobjective evaluation of the benefits and possibilities of surgical ablation among the unselected cardiac surgery candidates with af is difficult . nevertheless , we consider studies in a prospective randomized fashion to be the source of the most objective data .\nthe primary end point of this long - term follow - up was a composite of death or clinical reinfarction . this primary end - point definition differed from the previously published 30 - day 3 and 3 - year 6 reports in which the composite end point consisted of death , reinfarction , or disabling stroke . the rationale for the different primary end - point definition in the present study was that a clinical diagnosis of disabling stroke ( severe handicap ) could not be extracted from registries and was therefore removed from the present longer - term analysis . secondary end points were all - cause mortality , cardiac mortality , noncardiac mortality , and reinfarction . as in the prior danami - 2 publications , the end points were subsequently analyzed separately in the referral hospital substudy and in the invasive hospital substudy . furthermore , the primary end point was applied on a number of prespecified subgroups .\nplease complete the form below to request further information or register for one of our trial sessions . our next pyt tots session takes place during the first week of september 2018 . exact details tbc . our next pyt juniors , seniors and advanced trial sessions will take place on saturday 1st september 2018 at the following times and locations : pyt juniors ( ages 6 -

segment elevation myocardial infarction ( stemi ) . the first studies of fibrinolysis versus primary percutaneous coronary intervention ( ppci ) included only patients admitted directly to hospitals with interventional facilities and demonstrated that ppci reduced a composite end point of death , stroke , and reinfarction . 1 , 2 widespread adoption of ppci was potentially limited by the anticipated delays associated with transfer of patients from noninvasive hospitals to centers with facilities for coronary intervention . the danish acute myocardial infarction 2 ( danami - 2 ) trial compared onsite fibrinolysis with ppci with the majority of patients randomized at hospitals without ppci facilities and thus transported for ppci . 3 this study , the largest of its kind , demonstrated that ppci was superior to fibrinolysis when transport could be accomplished within 2 hours despite a transfer - related treatment delay of 55 minutes . 3 other minor studies have shown similar results . 4 , 5 we have previously shown a persistence in the superiority of ppci over fibrinolysis at a 3 - year follow - up . 6 the present study tested whether the benefit of ppci could be extended to a median follow - up time of 7 . 8 years ."]}

hops and bar - hops through paris . and miller himself makes a brief appearance in this ribald tale that updates the setting but retains the libertine spirit of the book that was banned in the usa for 27 years .\nseveral of mr . strick\u2019s films were known for their grittiness . the most notable was \u201cthe savage eye\u201d ( 1960 ) , a documentary - style fiction film he wrote , produced and directed in collaboration with mr . maddow and sidney meyers . the film , whose style and subject matter \u2014 unusual for the time \u2014 attracted wide attention in the news media , starred barbara baxley as a divorced woman navigating the seamy underside of los angeles .\nin order to appreciate henry miller ' s style , it is essential to get a feel for the juxtaposition of his elegant , often heartfelt prose , and the profane nature of his subject matter . he is the modern catullus , the poet not of\nlovemaking\nbut of the joys of flat - out * * * * * ing . the movie had difficulty synthesizing this sense of sacred and profane in harmony . it tried now with a rip torn overvoice reading from miller ' s work , then with some poetic shots of the beauty of paris . it never really seemed to succeed . the movie could never find anything to focus on . it represents a string of vignettes , and they don ' t seem to lead to any common goal . many scenes seem to concentrate on the minor characters for much too long , and without apparent purpose . such picaresque efforts rely on the charm of characterization for impact , and this film has some of that , but not enough . it ' s structured as if somebody said\nlet ' s make a film of tropic of cancer\nwithout actually feeling any passion for why they wanted to do that . it was certainly interesting to see rip torn so young and so good - looking , and to see ellen burstyn in such a flagrant display of nudity . some of the locales are accurately evocative , and torn is reasonably credible in the lead . it is fairly explicit in the sexual scenes , and extremely explicit in its use of language . you could watch it and not feel you ' ve wasted your time , but be advised that you won ' t feel much rewarded , either .\n\u201culysses\u201d was an everest on which no filmmaker dared make an assault . mr . strick did , directing and helping produce the film version , whose screenplay he wrote with fred haines .\nthis lurid and surreal italian film has no relations to both the henry miller novel and the rip torn starring 1970 henry miller film of the same name , as it depicts a couple ( anita strindberg [ who saw her die , murder obsession ] , anthony steffen [ an angel for satan , killer fish ] ) who are on vacation in haiti , where they witness various traditional haiti rituals while there is a chase that is going on regarding a new drug that steffen has created , with a handful of people that are after it while a series of murders are occurring in the area . directors gianpaolo lomi and edoardo mulargia ( escape from hell , hotel paradise ) handle the film in allowing the storyline to move along slowly as the viewers is not sure knowing upon what type of\u2026\nthe colors of henry miller ' s worlds coupled with his colorful expressions of desire make the experience a timeless one .\na very unconvincing mess of a film , mainly due to the weak , convoluted script and the equally weak direction . the only scenes of any consequence are the apparently unstaged voodoo ritual , and the scene where anita strindberg ' s character is hallucinating and is walking through a red painted corridor filled with naked black guys . otherwise , this film is filled with ugly , grotesque characters who die in rapid succession in a plot that does not make any sense at all . i fail to see any charm in this .\nan independent filmmaker , mr . strick won the oscar for best documentary short subject in 1970 for \u201cinterviews with my lai veterans , \u201d which he wrote , produced and directed . the film featured conversations with united states army veterans who had been present at the massacre of hundreds of south vietnamese civilians on march 16 , 1968 .\njoseph strick ' s\nre -

stars , producers , directors , writers , movie crews , even the breath - taking locations of lone pine where so many of the hoppy movies were filmed . however , in truth , the \u201choppy\u201d we still cherish is mostly due to the work of one fine actor who took a literary character , made him his own , and then shared him with all of us . the best words to sum up william boyd\u2019s \u201choppy\u201d came from his lovely wife , grace bradley boyd : \u201che was absolutely charismatic , everything went together\u2014his face , his eyes , his body , his voice \u2026 he was just hoppy . \u201d of all the b western movie stars , william boyd was the best , as evidenced by his body of work stretching back to the days of the silent movies . one man in particular proved his belief in boyd ' s talent by starring him in important films\u2014this man was a legend in his own right , cecil b . demille .\nthe silver -

drive films ever made , and texas trail , ( 1937 ) where hoppy and his boys round up a giant herd of wild horses offers spectacular outdoor scenes . there were no cars or radio shows or musical interruptions . with all due respect to the singing cowboys , theirs was just a whole different form of western movie .\nwhat william boyd brought to his hopalong cassidy was sincerity of character . in boyd\u2019s own words , \u201cyou have to understand the character you are playing and simply live him . the camera will show you up if you\u2019re just acting . you have to be terribly sincere and natural . you must have the whole personality and history of your character inside your head and then just open up your face and let the audience see what\u2019s going on there . you\u2019re not acting then , you just are . \u201d\nlistend to this one on my kindle . i ' m sorry it took me this long to get to it . there ' s lots of hilarious dialogue and situations . note that this isn ' t really a novel per se . it ' s more a collection of individual incidents , althoguh some of them are marginally related . the characters are fascinating , larger than life . it ' s much in the tradition of the texas tall tale . at times you almost expect pecos bill to show up .\nprime members enjoy fast & free shipping , unlimited streaming of movies and tv shows with prime video and many more exclusive benefits .\nan example of his screen presence can be seen in hills of old wyoming made in 1937 , with top billing going of course to william boyd as hopalong cassidy . eighteen minutes into the movie and our hero is yet to be seen . meanwhile , hoppy\u2019s two pals , lucky jenkins ( russell hayden ) and windy halliday ( george hayes ) , are in trouble with the indian agents . they have accused the indians of rustling cattle and are being taken to jail by the villainous indian agent played by morris ankrum and his henchmen . riding up the trail in handcuffs our two heroes look lost until we see windy look up the trail and exclaim , \u201choppy . \u201d audience expectations soar as hopalong cassidy , calmly sitting on his horse , blocks the trail . \u201cwhat seems to be the trouble here ? \u201d he says . no gunplay ( yet ) , no harsh words , just a calm assurance that often hid the seriousness of hoppy\u2019s emotions . one has to be able to sell such a scene with a look , a presence , and william boyd does that . we have waited almost twenty minutes to see hoppy , and when he enters , the effect is understated , yet powerful . that is when the goose bumps begin .\ntotal disregard for life , women , reality ; if that ' s what you like this is your book . mind you , i am a fantasy fan , but this book has nothing to do with the genre -

\u201d to the growl of a lion when telling an enemy attempting to draw a gun on him under a table to , \u201cput it away . \u201d he had a belly laugh that will never be imitated successfully , though some have tried .\nboyd eventually was given roles in such silent greats as the king of kings , the road to nowhere , and two arabian knights , the last of which was directed by another hollywood great , lewis milestone . his first starring role came in the 1926 de mille silent epic , the volga boatman , which was seen by a young teen - aged girl in new york named grace bradley , who fell in love with the silver - haired screen idol . she would go on to become an actress in hollywood and later play a lasting role in william boyd\u2019s life .\nhis screen presence is two - fold with both physical and emotional aspects . physically , he was handsome with silver hair and blue eyes , a charming smile and an impressive build . in 1941 , he was 46 years old and was as trim and chiseled as his 20 - year - old co - stars . the way he walked and carried himself in the saddle was striking . it was said he wanted younger , handsome sidekicks like jimmy ellison ( johnny nelson ) or russell hayden ( lucky jenkins ) to take over the romance in the films because he didn\u2019t want to play that role anymore . however , for women like me , he was the one . i once remarked to mrs . boyd that when i watch a hopalong movie , it isn\u2019t \u201cjohnny\u201d or \u201clucky\u201d , the handsome sidekick , i am watching , it\u2019s hoppy . i know she understood what i meant . in her own words , \u201che was absolutely charismatic . \u201d\nbill boyd was your typical hollywood movie star of his day . he liked wine , and women , and enjoyed his success , until fate dealt a nasty blow . another actor with the same name , william boyd , was arrested during a gambling and drinking party . the press ran the story using the photo of our william boyd by mistake and his career plummeted . the paper ran a retraction , but the damage was done . ( editor ' s note : to avoid confusion , film buffs refer to that other william boyd as\nstage\nboyd due to his career on stage , while our william boyd is , naturally , referred to as\nhoppy\nboyd . )\nwhen he came to pick her up at her mother\u2019s house , grace described what happened : \u201che was at the bottom of the stairs with mother . when i reached him , he opened his arms and i walked right into them . it was very special , and then it went very well . \u201d three weeks to the day , they were married on june 5 , 1937 , his birthday .\nhoppy ' s friend dennis owns a rich gold mine . frazier who owns the adjoining mine and wants the dennis mine , has dennis killed . hoppy steps in to take over running the dennis mine and learns frazier ' s men sneak into and work the dennis mine at night . hoppy captures one of frazier ' s men only to be captured in return by frazier and left to die in a burning building .\nthis is one of the worst hoppy films . the plot was unbelievable and weak . the comic sidekick ( frank darien as pappy ) was also among the worst in the series . * * * spoliers . * * * hoppy is out to help his girl friend whose ranch is being rustled and preyed upon by local rustlers - land grabbers , led by clay allison . for no good workable reason ( from my viewpoint ) hoppy lets himself get arrested and imprisoned for trespassing ( or whatever ) , and then he convinces allison to put hoppy on parole and work his time out at allison ' s ranch . in short order , hoppy sees allison ' s men maybe rustling nora ' s cattle . so hoppy rides off to see nora . ( what about his parole agreement ? ) meanwhile , fred is the only witness to see allison shoot nora ' s partner ( or foreman ) dead . for no real good reason that i could see , fred ' s mom suspects her son as involved in the murder and has the son placed in jail ! none of this really matters because allison finally decides to have his gang descend on hoppy and everyone else at nora ' s ranch , but they are beaten back and allison is killed . not much of a good plot .\nanother key aspect of william boyd\u2019s hopalong movies was their authenticity . his clothes were plain and his horse didn\u2019t do tricks , although to watch that magnificent white horse was a treat in itself . topper was a handsome horse , big and broad - chested . he loved to run and always seemed to know where the camera was . you can catch him nudging hoppy in the back when he ' s trying to deliver his dialogue . sometimes topper seems to speak himself when he ' s bobbing his head up and down and making his silver bridle rattle and shake . in that same goodbye scene in three men from texas , topper and lucky\u2019s horse , banjo , nuzzle each other as if they were saying good - bye themselves . the greatest director in the world couldn\u2019t have asked for a better take than that one . topper added his own charm to the hoppy movies , and kids of all ages loved him .\nfor most of us , there isn\u2019t a hoppy movie that we don\u2019t like , but we all have our favorites . i would have to say mine is three men from texas ( 1940 ) . this one has everything : action , comedy , romance , drama , and it was shot in my favorite location , lone pine , california . in it , william boyd\u2019s talents show through in every scene . the premise is that lucky jenkins , hoppy\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 , wants to go out on his own and prove himself as a lawman . hoppy isn\u2019t sure his friend is ready to be a bat masterson or a wyatt earp . in one of the most touching scenes between these two characters lucky tells hoppy , \u201cthere\u2019s only one man i want to be like and i guess you know who that is , hoppy . \u201d the love that shows in hopalong\u2019s face\u2014in william boyd\u2019s face\u2014as he looks at his young friend is the unspoken love between a father and a son .\nthe same year they met , 1937 , grace and bill had another very important meeting . on a visit to a ranch , they found a magnificent white horse . grace named him topper , and this is the horse hoppy would ride up to the end of his career . the two would appear together not just in movies , but in parades and all the other personal appearances william boyd made . when topper died , boyd said he would never ride another horse\u2014there was only one topper .\nthe scene i referred to in the introduction is one of the most poignant i have ever seen . holding his fallen saddle pal , who was portrayed by george hayes , hoppy looks out over the empty prairie with the same emptiness in his heart . you can see it in his eyes and you can hear the sadness in his voice as it breaks . and you feel it by the lump that forms in your throat as you hear , \u201cfollow your stars in peace , old timer . \u201d\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nan attempt to clean up a town lands hoppy and lucky on a work farm . hoppy : william boyd . lucky : russell hayden . nora : nora lane . clay : robert fiske .\nif you would like to receive regular mailings about bbfc resources , workshops , advance information about events and recent classifications or decisions which we think you may be interested in please complete the form below .\nthere are no discussion topics on this book yet . be the first to start one \u00bb\nwelcome back . just a moment while we sign you in to your goodreads account .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nwilliam boyd would tell you his life changed for the better after he met hoppy , but there was a real -

up emotions upon knowing that his grandmother has forgiven the culprit , some members of the audience will be moved to tears . where might is master , justice is servant , which is cruel , but real . it is also uplifting to see the teacher remain steadfast in his determination to bring the culprits to justice , despite his daughter ' s plight . as for the setting , the misty mountains and creepy campus create an eerie atmosphere . i also love the montage at the beginning of the movie . the kid is just like the deer , innocent and pure . the perversion of justice prevails when christians are blinded by their unquestionable faith , teachers are heartless , policemen , lawyers , the judge and the security guard are corrupted by money , civil servants shirk their responsibility and shift the work onto others and others remain silent . martin luther king is right . in the end , we remember not the words of our enemies , but the silence of our friends . amid those humans who are evil but influential in society , justice is shrouded in a thick gray mist .\nplease have a photo i . d . ready when picking up tickets at the box office . will call is located at the box office on the 3rd floor of the pullo center . the box office is open 2 hours prior to the performance , and remains open through the start of the show .\nsimilarly , those australians who freely denounce the rights and dignity of first nations people cry foul the moment someone dares to level the accusation of racism at them . australian media will still proudly host televised debates inviting all -

werewolf version of park\u2019s movie a few years ago , the werewolf boy . yep , nothing scary , despite alot of blood here and there in the movie , but ultimately it\u2019s a kinda sci - fi movie , with anti - japanese nationalism sentiments weaved in , and if you would , perhaps also some hints of lesbianism were also thrown in . the overall feel of the first - half of the movie was effectively creepy ( which i skipped parts to watch because yeah , i have no guts like that ) , but the final 20 minutes or so became an outright sci - fi wannabe movie with zombie - like girls , or girls with superhuman strength , fighting against the japanese authorities .\nthe plot , however , is a messy hodgepodge , the result of overreaching on the part of screenwriter and director lee hae -

young and park so - dam have a genuine chemistry and rapport that helps make their relationship the backbone of the film . the scenes that ju - ran and yeon - duk share by the river are beautifully lensed and lit , a complete opposite to the dreary interiors of the school .\nclearly influenced from notable south korean horror films such as \u201cwhispering corridors\u201d ( 1998 ) and \u201ca tale of two sisters\u201d ( 2003 ) , \u201cthe silenced\u201d tries to do something else within its familiar ground , though its attempts are not always successful . many elements in the story do not make sense well together when you look back at them in the whole picture , and its third act is not very satisfying in my opinion . despite such weak points , the movie is still an interesting horror film depending on atmosphere and character we can hold onto , and i think that is a good news , considering that we have not often come across a solid south korean horror movie during recent years .\ndesire is the theme of the fantastical planck constant , which weaves together a series of stories about a man ( kim jae -

yeong , who previously directed a delightful coming - of - age / transgender comedy drama \u201clike a virgin\u201d ( 2006 ) , steadily builds tension on the screen along with considerable attention to visuals . the color scheme in the film is often accentuated by the appearance of red color , and the drab interior environment of the school makes a striking visual contrast with the headmaster\u2019s sumptuous office which looks like a production designer\u2019s wet dream . the relationship development between joo - ran and yeon - deok is convincingly depicted with tender sensitivity , and it eventually becomes the emotional anchor to hold for us even when the story takes an unexpected turn later .\nsouth korean film \u201cthe silenced\u201d , which was released in south korea as \u201cgyeongseong school : the lost girls\u201d in last weekend , looks like a typical genre piece at first . its main background is a girl\u2019s dormitory school , its story revolves around a sick , beautiful girl who has to adjust herself to this strict , isolated environment , and , not so surprisingly , there is a sinister mystery hovering around every dark corner of this seemingly ordinary place . these are indeed familiar stuffs reminiscent of many other similar horror films , but the movie establishes mood and suspense well in its stylish period setting , and it also has some surprises for you although it stumbles a bit during its third act .\ni just now only watched the trailer , and i got chills down my back . it looks very intense . i ' ll definitely watch the movie when i have the time !\nget all the exclusives , reviews , features and screening times from the hong kong international film tv market ( filmart ) .\none nation senator pauline hanson takes off the burqa . the stunt would likely not have been allowed under old senate rules .\ngo won -

supernatural displays of strength , disappearing girls , and many death . the idea behind it seemed quite good but unfortunately it was not a great film . the first half hour seemed interesting enough , however after that it all got too samey . there were millions of flashbacks which got pretty tiring , but the most overused scene was the main character staring at blood on her hands . honestly , i lost count of the times she just stood there staring at her bloody hands after she beat people up or whatever . it ' s as if they didn ' t know how to lead on to the next thing so they were just like ,\nlet ' s add another hands with blood scene in here !\nit was so ridiculous and random , but boring for the watcher . this was just something that irked me as it seemed pretty lazy . my next point - the characters . shoddy writing to say the least . none of the characters get a proper background or even a glance into what their motives are . each character is there to serve their purpose to the plot , but the watcher can really feel that and so it is hard to care about any of the characters . the main character is rather bland and boring with not much personality , just looking shocked or scared the whole time . another thing i considered to be lazy was the ending . they probably thought they were tying all the ends up nicely , but it was so predictable , also the fact that the headmistress keeps ' treating ' the girls when all of her attempts get botched up and people literally die , she keeps going . how desperate is she to find the right ' treatment ' ? and what do they tell the parents of the kid who dies ? because it is a school for sick children they probably try to pass it off as them dying of illness , but if this were the case wouldn ' t the parents want the children ' s body back ? i ' m sure they wouldn ' t just be cool with letting the school keep their child ' s corpse and complaints must have been made , but hey , it ' s just another technicality that the movie skims over . overall , the silenced is rather lazily written , rushing to get to the anticlimactic end scene . maybe if you have nothing else to do give it a watch but don ' t set your hopes too high .\nscreen international is the essential resource for the international film industry . subscribe now for monthly editions , awards season weeklies , access to the screen international archive and supplements including stars of tomorrow and world of locations .\na comedy romance movie about the last generation of youths and their passionate romance based in hongseong , chungcheong namdo in the 1980 ' s .\nthe 52nd daejong awards is here . rookies from chungmuro anticipate the award that they might get for once and only once in their lives . looking at the candidates of this year ' s rookies , there ' s lee min -

human power , but might cause some adverse event such as seizure ? death ? well , they only show the first subject as suddenly having a seizure and then she was taken away by the school . if that was not clich\u00e9 enough , at the end of the movie , the heroin used her super power to annihilate the school . the rest of the girls was being sedated with their gas drugs and they suddenly awaken and kill the principal in the most gruesome way .\nas soon as i know park bo young acted in this movie , i downloaded it and with the reviews i read i wasn ' t expecting a horror movie or sth like that . the movie itself started with a slow rhythm and the first half of it was quite interesting but the second half . . . it was just so much fast ! i think that it dint allow watchers to relate themselves with the movie and to understand the mysterious happenings in school . . . . unlike other reviews i read , the main character\npark bo young\ndone her job ! i mean what do we expect from a girl who her mom dies recently and her dad and his new wife take her to an unknowing school in the deep forest . . . . of course she should be scared and most of the time quite ! however i liked her acting . . . . but i think the main weakness of the movie is the script ! sorry but it seems to me that the writer wrote it in just a weak . . . the backgrounds of the characters are all unproven for the watcher . . . and that ' s the main reason which i cant relate myself much with the movie is the poor script . . . if you are bored and need a movie to fill your boring afternoon it is a good choice !\na documentary on the rise and stumble of troy duffy , the bartender - cum - filmmaker who was swept up by miramax ' s harvey weinstein to turn his script for the boondock saints into a feature film .\nduring the argument between the japanese officer and the headmistress , the officer ' s haircut is very casual by japanese military standards of that era . it looks more like a contemporary style . it ' s doubtful that a japanese officer , or enlisted soldier , would have been allowed to wear his hair in such a way , as the style would more likely have been either closely cropped or very closely trimmed along the edges .\nthere shouldn ' t be anything complicated about that premise , yet we are still forced to listen as homophobic people claim the mantle of victimhood because they don ' t like the fact that their homophobia has been identified and named . the lyle sheltons of this world have no problem sharing their view that homosexual people pose a threat to the foundation of the nuclear family , but seem affronted when the people they attack respond in kind .\nonce you do figure out what ' s happening this movie is great . the acting was good and the satisfying yet heartbreaking ending was amazing .\na brief synopsis to the movie : set in 1938 , park bo young takes on the role of joo - ran , a young girl who gets transferred to a secluded all - girls boarding school , in the name of recuperating from ill - health . the school\u2019s head - mistress ( uhm ji won ) is a daggers - in - the - smiles kind of lady , who seems to be involved in the missing girls in her school . it doesn\u2019t help that the trailer was edited in such a way that the whole school is like a bubbling hotpot of nefarious activities .\nthe fidelity of the props to the setting of japanese empire in korea during the late 1930 ' s is actually quite impressive . however , one detail kept cropping up over and over , and that is the intravenous ( iv ) equipment . what i see are spiked drip chambers using clear plastic and topped by white plastic spikes . plus , the fluid runs through clear iv tubing regulated by white plastic roller - type flow regulators . these did not exist in the ' 30 ' s . the standards of the time utilized rubber\nsurgical\ntubing , metal thumb clamps , and rate controlled by eyeballing fluid volume administered over a given time , such as 4 ounces per hour . this would be read off of a scale printed or cast molded onto the side of the bottle . see more \u00bb\nthere was a time when watching a horror movie during summer was considered by koreans an effective way to escape from the sizzling weather . posters for scary films hung up at cinemas signaled the arrival of the summer season .\nin 1938 , a girl , joo -

produced by g . saravanan and selvi thyagarajan . raahul will be this film\u2019s executive producer .\n` baana kaathadi ' is a unique film as it brings together a few third generation young talents in the business of films . this film is produced by senthil thyagarajan and t . arjun , the next generation from t . g thyagarajan household . similarly it introduces atharva who is the son of actor murali . and then there is yuvan shankar raja another new generation doing the music .\n- - in fact , the film also bagged seven other nandis into the bargain . and now soundarya is all set to play a snake - - okay , snake goddess - - in director\n. with the film well past the 100 - day mark in tn , doing brilliant business in kerala and ap , and storming even far away centres like japan , the lass is on a roll .\n- -

in on the navel in a sj suryah movie compared to one in an item number of a commercial movie . in the latter , they do it for money , to sell more tickets and for various other reasons while sj suryah seems to be indulging in what he thinks as art . this movie is honest film -

that\u2019s some journey from amber dhaara to isai then . .\nas a side note on disclaimers , maniratnam was at his playful best in iruvar . the movie starts with the disclaimer \u201cidhu unmai kadhai illai\u201d .\nif you read with a pause after unmai then : idhu unmai , kadhai illai .\ni agree \u2013 the movie had its moments but boy did sjs indulge big time or what . sure , you do have to appreciate how he\u2019s tried a slew of different things to make the 2nd half work but i don\u2019t think he executed it very well at all . the one scene where i thought he acted really well was the miscarriage scene . the lines in that scene were lovely .\ni am a huge fan of sathyaraj . i mean , there was a phase in the late 80s when he did some superb acting in movies like \u201cvedham pudhidhu\u201d and \u201cpaalaivana rojakal . \u201d of course , amaidhi padai is the stuff of legends . here , he got a very meaty part but i think he should\u2019ve underplayed it a little . plus , he just didn\u2019t come across convincingly as a musical genius . too many sathyarajisms and too little character delineation\u2026but he had the best line of the movie i thought \u2013 \u201cnaan ilakanathukkulliye irundhen enna pazhasu - nu sollitaange . avan ilakanatha odachu odachu panitrukaan , avana pudhusu - nu solitaange . \u201d aptly sums up isai vendhar and ak shiva .\nthe one scene where i laughed the hardest was the one with raju sundaram and his assistant . the way he casually asks , \u201ceditor antony - ta povom ipo . avanaachu saaptrupaana ? \u201d was hilarious , i thought !\nit is possible that the subject is too contemporary ( what with both protagonists still alive and creating ) for someone ( not sj surya ) to make a meaningful movie on this subject that has it all \u2013 a rags to riches story , a story of enormous success fueled by sheer genius followed by a sudden eclipse commercially by another genius .\nthis is the stuff a good filmmaker could gorge on like someone who sees home cooked indian food after being on a business trip to a scandinavian country for a few months . during winter .\nmani ratnam might have been a good candidate for bringing such a movie to life before his sudden drop in creativity in recent times . but i would guess since he has been involved with both geniuses it may not be easy to take an unbiased stance .\n1 ) well , even if he chose to chart the careers of ir and arr , he still could have made a few changes to make it look sufficiently like fiction . it could have been something other than music , like art direction , camera work or even fashion designing . the passion of creation and disappointment of somebody else\u2019s success happens in all fields . he is just making it too close to real people for the sensation - quotient of it all . is he trying to tell a story or just trying to annoy people for the heck of it ?\n2 ) i guess we already discussed movies like this in the first broad reflections post . i just standby what i told there . urltoken\n3 ) this movie is basically a \u201cif mani can make iruvar , then so can i\u201d with absolutely no consideration as to what made iruvar what it is . i am guessing that people make the same mistake in making their heroine as audacious as nirosha and hoping that it has the same effect as agnin . if only people knew that imitation and counterfeiting not the same thing .\ni really didn\u2019t understand the need to do this ir - arr hinting . whatever the man\u2019s faults might be , i\u2019m sure ilaiyaraaja doesn\u2019t do murder and the such .\nbut what i really didn\u2019t understand was a couple of parents in the theater with me . they got their 5 - 6 year old kids to the movie , knowing it was from sj suryah . then they spent a good chunk of it closing the kids\u2019 eyes .\nsantosh kumar t k : well i operate on the principle that what the maker says / claims is less important than what he has ended up making \u2014 in the sense that if the maker says the movie is about x and i see the movie as being about y , then to me the movie is about y .\nso in the case of \u201ciruvar , \u201d i see it very much as the story of mgr and karunanidhi . in this particular case , the disclaimer \u2014 in my eyes \u2014 is purely a bit of legalese .\neg . \u201cnayakan\u201d ( based on varadaraja mudaliar ) and \u201cguru\u201d ( based on ambani ) ; the filmmaking , though stylish , is fairly rooted and \u201creal\u201d .\n\u201chawaizaada\u201d ( based on shivkar talpade ) ; the filmmaking is deliberately \u201cunreal , \u201d set in a world of fantasy .\nmany farces ( \u201crettaivaal kuruvi\u201d , \u201cmmkr\u201d ) come under this category ; the situations are obviously contrived , but the execution is in a realistic style .\nram murali : i\u2019m guessing that it would have been too obvious if they\u2019d picked a raja tune . still , i agree \u2014 of all people , why l - p , who were hardly a presence in tamil cinema ? or was the song a hint at kovaithambi or something ?\nanything meta has to be a bit self - referential ( which the raja - arr angle isn\u2019t ) and also with a bit of abstraction between the pointer and the pointed at . that\u2019s why i say the raja - arr track isn\u2019t really meta \u2014 it\u2019s just a ( very broad ) wink .\nrangan , thanks for the clarification . it was after reading your reviews of jigarthanda and ktvi that i thought that i understood what would constitute \u201cmeta . \u201d looks like i misinterpreted it\u2026\n\u201cwith jigarthanda and kathai thiraikathai , we seem to be in the midst of a little \u201cmeta\u201d festival , with filmmakers outside as well as inside these films offering a running commentary on the state of the industry . \u201d\n\u2013 > so , i thought that isai was similar in that it felt like a commentary on twisted geniuses and the more humble ones\u2026but your distinction between meta and a wink makes sense . thx .\nman i was laughing out loud and clapping ! i am a little late to catch this movie i guess , but i thoroughly enjoyed it . there were a lot of lame scenes yes , but there were too many good , well - written and well - staged drama scenes that make up for them . and i thought the climax was a stroke of genius . the way he justifies all the logical flaws in one line ! this guy knows what he is writing . he seems to have closed all the loopholes with that one twist .\nthe next para may be offensive to some , the idea is however not to offend anyone but just to give an opinion .\nregarding the navel scenes , the scenes where he explains how he has to transfer the heart etc , i did find them very silly . you very nicely put it \u2013 \u201cyou don\u2019t have to look any further if you wondered what it\u2019d be like if a horny , hyper - imaginative teenage boy wrote a penthouse letter . \u201d\n\u2014 i read real naughtiness in your above line . i was actually laughing when i read that bit and got a funny stare from people around me . \u201cyou don\u2019t have to look any further if you wondered what it\u2019d be like if a horny , hyper - imaginative teenage boy wrote a penthouse letter . \u201d\ni happened to see one particular song from a famous movie by a famous \u2018village\u2019 subject specialist director .\nthe poor heroine is made to get drenched in waterfalls with \u2018only\u2019 a very thin white saree to boot .

aug 8th 1873\n- ribbon weaving . - with the decline of the woollen - cloth trade coventry textile workers naturally turned to the nascent silk - ribbon industry . the city silkweavers of the 18th century were ready to receive new ideas from france and to provide the ribbons which fashion dictated , and for a century , between about 1765 and 1857 , silk was the dominant industry in the city .\ntheir complacent belief in the rightness of their methods had , moreover , been fostered for some 60 years by the protection of their main industry against the import of french ribbons . whenever there was a possibility that the prohibition might be lifted or the tariff on imported ribbons reduced there was a protest from coventry , but as long as the prohibition remained there was no incentive to developments in design or the improvement of machinery . by this time coventry was the centre of a weaving area of 13 , 000 looms supporting 30 , 000 people . in 1826 the import prohibition had been lifted and a tariff substituted , and in 1830 the latter stood at 25 per cent .\nthe introduction of the dutch engine loom , which was not power - driven but on which several plain ribbons could be woven at one time , and its supercession by the jacquard loom , on which several fancy ribbons could be woven , had opened the way for the factory system in coventry . such a change would have increased efficiency and reduced costs , for supervision would have done much to prevent the embezzlement of silk and the leisurely attitude to work which was inherent in the cottage system . but the unwavering opposition of the weavers protracted the struggle between factory and home industry for 30 years and culminated in the near extinction of ribbon weaving in the city .\nthe crux of the matter was the determination of the small master or the journeyman weaver to work his own loom in his own top - shop , with the help of his family , receiving payment according to an agreed list of prices . it was unpractical for him to buy or lease an engine loom or a jacquard loom , for by a weavers ' agreement neither his wife nor his daughters could work anything but a single - hand loom , and in any case only single - hand looms could be used for certain types of work . the factory , on the other hand , could speed up production by using engine looms or jacquard looms as required , by the division of labour , by the introduction of definite hours of work , and by the supervision of employees . under such conditions a weekly wage could be paid to all weavers .\na vital development was that of the power - run loom , which was to add greater strength to the factory and was to turn the cottage industry in a new direction . by 1836 there were 53 power looms at work in the city , all run by two of the largest manufacturers . it was only in the city that such innovations could be made , and country weavers , like the city top - shop weavers , stuck to the single - hand loom . smaller manufacturers had , however , been increasing in number for the previous 20 years . in 1838 , although there were still twelve manufacturers running over 100 looms each , one with as many as 400 , there were 70 manufacturers running fewer than 10 looms each and 35 with between 10 and 100 each .\nif there had been a steady development of factories there is every reason to suppose that the ribbon trade in coventry would have progressed in spite of , or perhaps because of , foreign competition , but the tradition of home working died hard and new enterprises were begun to support the cottage industry . in the new weaving area of hillfields , built up from 1828 onwards , most of the houses had top - shops or workrooms on their upper floors , some with space enough for three looms .\nthe new suburbs were thus calculated to uphold opposition to the factory system , whose workers were the slum dwellers of the courts recently abandoned by families moving out to the new estates . this attitude was further encouraged by the individuality of the watchmakers , who of necessity had their own workshops , were more highly skilled , and commanded larger incomes . indeed , there is evidence of migration by young weavers and by weavers ' sons to the trade with the better prospects .\nwhile the growth of steam power was speeding up the development of factories , a way was being found to perpetuate the small workshop by means of power - run looms . at first it was a make - do arrangement by which a shafting system was run through a row of existing top - shops , with one engine supplying power to them all . after 1847 this system was extensively used , and by 1859 there were 300 cottage factories running from two to six power looms each , compared with fifteen large factories with 1 , 250 power looms .\nworkers in cottage factories , however , even with power laid on , could not compete with the larger factories , and they consequently resorted to demands for the reimposition of the list of prices instead of the payment of weekly wages ; so heavy was the pressure brought to bear that five of the six outstanding factory owners gave in after extensive strikes had nearly crippled them , and the building of large factories ceased . instead an attempt was made to give the coventry weaver what he wanted - a properly - developed cottage factory system . two schemes were initiated : cash ' s model cottage factory , built at kingfield in 1857 ; and eli green ' s 67 houses with top - shops , served by power shafting , built to form a triangle in brook street , vernon street , and berry street in 1858 - 9 .\nthe out - door worker had some justification for supporting the list , but the factory employee , by joining in the strike , was sacrificing his own wage - earning organization for an out - moded system which was impeding efficient development . it was of course the home workers who were worst hit when work was short , because the large manufacturers handed out work to them only when their own employees could not handle it ; moreover , the shafting system for topshops had proved uneconomic when only some of the looms were working . but it was a case of the weavers standing together , however unjustified their cause , against the employers . and because their cause was wrong - headed , because they were striking for the list of prices which some of them had previously struck to destroy , they forfeited local sympathy and little help was forthcoming even from outside the city ; the position became desperate and early in 1861 the strikers had to give in . the list of prices was abandoned , but the damage was done and there was no work to return to .\nduring the franco - prussian war there was some revival , and it was later alleged that ' every loom in coventry and district was well employed . more business was done then than at any time before or since ' . nevertheless ribbon weaving in coventry had suffered a heavy blow from the attempts of its workers to maintain an outdated system , and the revival did not last .\nthe industry did not , however , die out . cash ' s survived at the price of converting the model cottage factory into a conventional factory . moreover a bid to bring about a revival in the industry was made by\n, the pictorial bookmark , and the illuminated ribbon . he worked quickly , for in january 1862 he patented his invention for ' manufacturing book markers by machinery for weaving ribbons , and . . . producing figures , designs , and mottoes thereon of various descriptions and colours , according to the nature of books for which the markers are intended ' .\nthe pictures became very popular and they , as well as the looms on which they were made , were exhibited at the crystal palace in 1868 , at the london international exhibition in 1870 , at york in 1879 , and on the continent and in the united states . from 1862 to 1867 stevens ' s catalogues contained from 500 to 900 varieties of bookmarks , pictures , fans , badges , embroidered neckties , and sashes .\npartly as a result of the general development in the city of high - class fancy and figured ribbons and scarves , and partly following the introduction of new methods of manufacturing chenille the trade survived . indeed in 1884 london was said to be largely supplied with chenille and other trimmings by coventry which was successfully rivalling continental producers . the number of power looms in 1884 was , however , only about a third of that in 1860 , while the number of operatives employed was even smaller in proportion , though somewhat larger than in 1883 .\nin 1890 it was reported that the silk ribbon trade in the town ' fluctuates as fashion dictates , and has been in a depressed condition all the year ' . in the mid 20th century , however , there still existed in the city a flourishing trade in the more specialized aspects of ribbon production . in 1927 there were still some 30 manufacturers with about 7 , 000 employees engaged in the textile industry in coventry , not including the production of artificial fabrics . by 1935 the number of firms had fallen to thirteen and of employees to 5 , 000 .\nin 1950 the number of firms had risen slightly . five firms were making woven labels , the best known of these being j . and j . cash , and seven were making regalia and medal ribbons , hat bands , embroidered badges , trimmings , braids and elastic braids , pompoms , tassels , and fringes . they were without exception long -

[ \u21a9 ]\nin 1991 parker released the commitments , a film based on a novel by irish writer roddy doyle . the film , which garnered mixed reviews , told the story of the efforts of a ragtag group of musicians with widely varied individual agendas and their efforts to launch a successful band . 1994 ' s the road to wellville , meanwhile , despite an impressive cast headed by anthony hopkins , was a decidedly unsuccessful adaptation of t . coraghessan boyle ' s novel .\nlike his american counterpart oliver stone , the british director alan parker has earned a unique reputation as being both a cultural instigator , and an insightful social commentator . through his films mississippi burning ( 1988 ) and evita ( 1996 ) , parker has brought to life the twentieth century\u2019s struggle with race , class , and gender . in 1994 , parker continued this tradition of social commentary not through cinematic drama , but rather through his comedy road to wellville . 3 a perfectionist on every level , parker consulted t . coraghessan boyle , the author of the novel road to wellville , who , while writing his account , used the kellogg archives at the charles willard memorial library , in battle creek , michigan to ensure the social and historical accuracy of his portrayal . the library , which houses all of kellogg\u2019s 220 articles and 81 books , helped boyle reconstruct kellogg\u2019s eugenic theory of \u201crace betterment , \u201d which , undoubtedly , influenced parker\u2019s portrayal of race and class in road to wellville . 4\nwhile parker\u2019s use of parody , blackface , role - playing , and race / class - encoding might be perceived as a means of evading a realistic treatment of social issues , road to wellville is anything but a crude attempt to avoid the representation of enormously - difficult subject matter . rather , it is a sophisticated blend of humor and documented historical material that seeks to question the various forms that race and class have assumed in twentieth - century american society . consequently , the characters in road to wellville are not simply constructed for comedic purposes ; each has a specific role in the dialogue of the film , whether it be to illustrate the absurdity of turn - of - the - century racial ideology , or to criticize modern social trends . what parker accomplishes in this film is more than a sum of its parts ; one cannot merely look at an isolated scene to understand his anti - racist and anti - elitist commentary , for the fact that problematic social issues are often disguised is part of parker\u2019s message . road to wellville is a statement to the world that in spite of our alleged social advances , not enough has changed with respect to race and class since the turn - of - the - century ; many of the racist and classist assumptions in the film are , like corn flakes , still thriving today . while these prejudices might be more subtly expressed in today\u2019s world , they are still as ubiquitous as they were back at the battle creek sanitarium .\nbook upon which the film was based , disown the project and refuse to allow any film adaptations of his work for the next 20 years . he relaxed his mandate just in time for\non the road ( 2012 ) \u2014 budget , $ 25 million . box office , $ 8 , 784 , 318 . crashed the career of director walter salles .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\nto join click here . to subscribe to hot press , urltoken & the hot press ipad edition for just \u20ac69 . 95 go here to learn more about urltoken member benefits , go to here\nt he road to wellville is a film made for anyone whose sense of humor leans towards the scatological . set at doctor j . h . kellogg ' s battle creek sanitarium ( affectionately called\nthe san\nby its residents ) , this film contains an endless supply of fecal jokes . there are slogans such as\nclean bowels make for clean thoughts\nposted around the main dining hall , and the prevalent routine at this\ntemple of health\nis an enema a day .\nit\u2019s always a mistake to zip through the main casting of a film . frankly , it\u2019s all the financiers or studios care about . in the case of wellville it was a hefty cast to assemble before we were given the green light on the film . it has to be said , of course , that films can live or die because of the main cast . certainly , if you get the casting wrong , then chances are you\u2019re going to get the film wrong . the same can be said for the quality of the casting , down to the smallest role , that surrounds the principal actors . wellville is an ensemble cast , and arguably , that ensemble is twenty actors deep . in supporting roles i was fortunate enough to have camryn manheim ( virginia ) it was odd to see camryn daintily peddling her bicycle along the forest path , when i cast her she had arrived in full leathers on a 1000cc motorcycle .\n. this film and the chain of critical or commercial disappointments led to jeffrey katzenberg selling the studio to comcast / universal and divesting his interests in the firm after 22 years .\nthe road to wellville ( 1994 ) \u2014 budget , $ 25 million . box office , $ 6 , 562 , 513 . based on a novel by t . coraghessan boyle about john harvey kellogg , the inventor of corn flakes , this comedy - drama was derided by critics for its servings of nausea fuel . matthew broderick considers it an old shame .\nthe insomniac : the novel and film both open with will lightbody suffering from severe insomnia due to his ulcer and opium withdrawal .\nthey should have begged for a coherent story . wellville threatens to be dazzlingly funny or at least amusingly manic , but it settles for tubefulls of enema jokes and a lame sex romp .\nthere can be found in the back pages of various health magazines a small advertisement for colonic irrigation . it is illustrated with a drawing of what looks like several tons of lava bursting forth from the earth ' s core . i have never mailed away for the booklet offered , and now that i ' ve seen\nthe road to wellville ,\ni don ' t think i need to . the movie is like an expedition through the digestive tract with gun and camera .\nin kellogg\u2019s opinion , the best way to ensure white racial purity was to cultivate \u201cgood health , \u201d which he propagated through his articles , books , lectures , and treatments at the san . the key factor of his health doctrine was self - regulation and moderation , which involved avoiding the undesirable elements of society ( i . e . , immigrants , the working class , criminals , the mentally ill , prostitutes , the diseased , as well as anyone considered \u201cnon - white\u201d ) . when anglo - americans did not follow these dictates , they could erode the civility that marked them as \u201csuperior , \u201d and , just like some of the characters in the road to wellville , become the degenerates that they feared . when such degeneration went completely unchecked , kellogg believed the result could be \u201can incurable and dirty criminal reminiscent of the dark races ; an uncivilized beast . \u201d 16 in short , kellogg\u2019s adopted son , george , who is played by dana carvey in road to wellville .\nbeep beep , richie ! it ' s time to go back to derry .\ncontributor of articles and cartoons to periodicals , including american cinematographer , american film , cineaste , films and filming , literature / film quarterly , and sight and sound .\nthe promise ( 2016 ) \u2014 budget , $ 90 million . box office , $ 9 , 831 , 487 . this drama set before the armenian genocide was a passion project for casino maverick and former mgm owner kirk kerkorian , who didn ' t live to see the film released . the film was also overshadowed by controversy due to genocide deniers ' attempts to smear the film . critics thought the film was so okay its average while the niche subject matter may have killed it more than the controversy .\nthe rage : carrie 2 ( 1999 ) \u2014 budget , $ 21 million . box office , $ 17 , 762 , 705 . this was intended to be an original film called the curse before it became retrofitted into a sequel to carrie . the end result was criticized for not living up to the original film .\n) . the opening scene alone was enough to cause nearly ever us theater to pass on the film ( it was in a total of 21 theaters in the us ) . to make things even worse , it came out one day after\n, mckenzie wark challenges theorists to invent new tools for criticism , tools adequate to the concrete problems of the anthropocene .\nthe final nail that sent itc to the bottom of the atlantic came a year later with the failure of the legend of the lone ranger .\n. this remains the only film directed by editor and sound designer walter murch , who returned to those lines of work ever since . disney ' s next attempt at an oz film was the much more successful\n75 . british screen advisory council , member , beginning 1985 ; head of film council , beginning 1999 ; lecturer at film schools .\nrevisited after listening to the dollop ' s episode\nthe cereal men\n.\ndialogue on film : alan parker ,\nin american film ( washington , d . c . ) , january -

american who ventures into the cereal business for amusement and economic independence , complements the racial subtext of the film . during business negotiations , george is consistently aloof , more concerned with whiskey than with economics . constantly laughing , eating , and conning his father out of money , george mimics socially constructed \u201cqualities of blackness , i . e . , brutality , crime , idleness , and licentious behavior . \u201d 23 thus , george clearly fits many of the racial stereotypes that exist in modern , as well as in antebellum , culture . a modern minstrel , george \u201cmirrors the antebellum belief that slavery was good for the slave since it drew upon his natural inferiority and willingness to serve \u2026 slaves were content coons . the proof was offered in the happy images of sambo , a feebleminded slave who was content to laugh , eat , and drink . \u201d 24 in road to wellville , george is a modern - day \u201csambo . \u201d\ngiven the racial subtext of the film , the medical diagnoses of the female characters in road to wellville are also very poignant social metaphors . ida is diagnosed with \u201cgreen sickness , \u201d or chlorosis , as it was known in the nineteenth - century medical community . according to kellogg , chlorosis , or what twentieth - century physicians would call anemia , \u201cis very often caused by menstrual irregularity and by the unholy practice in consideration [ i . e . , masturbation ] . \u201d 40 by associating chlorosis with masturbation and menstruation , kellogg simultaneously constructs the disease as both \u201cperverse\u201d and distinctly female in nature . in the film , ida is \u201csicker than anyone else , \u201d most likely because she suffers from \u201cfemale\u201d ailments as well as sexual vice . although will is her partner in adultery , as a woman , ida bears the symbolic burden of shame . in modern film , the consequence of such shame is always death , which finds ida just as she is beginning to gain the strength to act independently .\nyou need to login to do this . get known if you don ' t have an account\npound puppies and the legend of big paw ( 1988 ) \u2014 budget , unknown . box office , $ 586 , 938 . this is the only feature film that director pierre decelles and writers jim carlson and terrence mcdonnell have been involved in ; the film ' s failure to leave a mark sent their careers back to television . this is also one of a handful of film adaptations of hanna barbera programs that was sent to the theatrical dog pound , and tristar pictures wouldn ' t distribute another animated film until 2001 .\nthe fact that george is in \u201cblackface\u201d throughout the entire film is an important aspect of the racial commentary in road to wellville . according to lester friedman , \u201cthe white actor in blackface allows a safe , cinematic , non - discussion of the place and origins of blacks in america . \u201d 19 blackface minstrelsy , which involves white entertainers donning black make - up to \u201cperform\u201d black stereotypes on stage or in film , essentially constructs the minstrel ( i . e . , george ) as the classical fool . set apart from society and believed to be mentally inferior and immature , blackface characters such as the \u201ccity dandy , \u201d the \u201cplantation darky , \u201d and \u201csambo the coon , \u201d can express serious criticism without compelling the audience to take them seriously . through the antics and opinions of these \u201cbenign\u201d characters , audiences can laugh away racial anxieties while being assured that racial categories have not been altered . while the material conditions of slavery and segregation embodied white racism in the real world , blackface minstrelsy created jim crow in the theatrical world , guaranteeing racial domination in the imaginary realm well into the twentieth century . 20\non the occasion of the first irish screening of nagisa oshima\u2019s ai no corrida ( in the realm of the senses ) , banned for 18 years because of its explicit sex scenes involving lead actor tatsuya fujii\u2019s hardcore hard -

his next theatrical film was french and didn ' t come until 2011 . el dorado is also the second and last time elton john and tim rice would work together , with their other teamup being on the music for dwa founder jeffrey katzenberg ' s final disney film , the lion king , and this film ' s failure ensured that the lion king would be more fondly remembered . the rush by katzenberg to get this film out ahead of disney ' s the emperor ' s new groove ( another buddy comedy in mesoamerica ) also led animator will finn to defect back to disney and turned the film into an old shame for him ( sadly , this move led him to direct home on the range at disney , which was a much bigger bust and derailed his career and 2d animation ) . el dorado did become a cult classic .\nthe nut job 2 nutty by nature ( 2017 ) \u2014 budget , $ 40 million . box office , $ 28 , 370 , 522 ( domestic ) , $ 43 , 421 , 149 ( worldwide ) . like its preceding film , it gained toxic reviews from critics , but while the last film did surprisingly well at the box office , this one performed very poorly . the second bomb in a row for animation studio toonbox entertainment , and part of a very bad year for distributor open road films .\nthe audience becomes aware of kellogg\u2019s presence during the entire scene after george is chased out of the san . like a foucauldian panopticon , kellogg observes his son , and his patients , without being observed . while , as the observer , kellogg possesses power over his son , he also has a weakness for george that springs not from affection , but from a sense of failure . as he remembers george\u2019s undisciplined childhood , kellogg realizes that george\u2019s very existence undermines the doctor\u2019s convictions by demonstrating the shortcomings of his theories . while kellogg promotes \u201cbiological living\u201d and physical discipline at the san , he cannot help but think of his failure at home . for all his talk of racial , mental , and spiritual purity , he raises a son who embodies his worst nightmare . in road to wellville , this sense of failure is contrasted with the racist idealism that kellogg conveys to a group of reporters who visit the sanitarium : \u201cas a child i had a dream , a marvelous dream , in which i saw a wild place in the country . dirty children were pouring down the road . the dream gave me the idea for my lifework \u2026 the sanitarium . everything here has behind it one ideal : biological living to improve the american race . \u201d\npollyanna ( 1960 ) \u2014 budget , $ 2 . 5 million . box office , unknown . it got strong reviews despite critics being initially pessimistic , but it failed to make it even halfway to a projected $ 6 million goal gross . walt disney blamed the film ' s box office performance on a failure to attract male audiences . no sequels to the movie were produced when it couldn ' t perform financially . disney did remake the film for tv as the musical polly in 1989 , which managed to get a sequel , polly : comin ' home ! a year later .\nthere are three different stories , with minimal connections to one another , followed throughout the film . will lightbody ( matthew broderick ) is ill so his wife eleanor ( bridget fonda ) brings him to the san to recover , and to solve their marital problems . anthony hopkins plays the spa ' s owner , dr . kellogg , who is plagued by the untimely reappearance of his crazed , adopted son george ( dana carvey ) .\nearly on , because of my peculiar brand of obstinacy and my own napoleonic delusions , i refused to have anything to do with the film industry \u2013 i wasn\u2019t gong to carry anybody\u2019s jockstrap , by god . also , i understood something intuitively that seems to escape many of my contemporaries : novelists write novels , and directors direct films . all well and good . as a novelist , you have two options : to sell the film rights of a given book , thereby relinquishing control over the film version , or retain the rights and have your widow toss the manuscript atop your coffin as they lower you into the earth .

white\u201d peoples who had not been \u201cchristianized , \u201d were unintelligent , and therefore beastly in behavior . he cites various examples of savagery in his works , such as the infanticidal \u201cjaggers of guinea , who devour their own children , \u201d and \u201cthe uncouth negro who haunts the jungles of southern africa . \u201d 34 in road to wellville , parker lampoons kellogg\u2019s bizarre racist assumptions through george\u2019s humorous animal - like expressions and behavior . not only does george eat like a pig , but he also inhabits a pig sty . at one point in the film , george fills his father\u2019s cereal boxes with human excrement , and throws them at the guests , jumping up and down in an almost simian fashion . in another scene , george overhears a conversation about the origins of kellogg\u2019s enema : \u201ci heard the doctor got the idea for the enema in india \u2026 no , no , i believe africa \u2026 india , africa , what\u2019s the difference , they are both the same \u2026 apes eat and defecate simultaneously . they don\u2019t suffer from the same ailments as the civilized bowel \u2026 we are far too house - trained . \u201d the conflation of indians and africans not only illustrates the extent to which these individuals were interchangeable and expendable in american society , but it also conveys the extent to which many americans associated , and still associate , peoples of color with \u201cincivility , \u201d savagery , sub - humanity , and bestial behavior .\nnight of the demons 2009 \u2014 budget , $ 10 million . box office , $ 64 , 040 . originally premiering at the london frightfest in 2009 , this film ultimately came direct -

producer disney considered this movie to be a flop due to not reaching the expected gross target , plus it received mixed reviews from critics . subsequently , paramount bosses michael eisner and jeffrey katzenberg would jump to disney within 5 years . screenwriter jules feiffer did not have another screenwriting credit on a full - length film until the end of the decade ( and that movie is feiffer ' s last film ) , and it ' s the last film robert evans produced before a cocaine trafficking conviction sent his life and career downhill for the 1980 ' s . no other attempts to bring popeye to the big screen have materialized since this film .\n. and that ' s not even counting the advertising budget . dreamworks animation had already been suffering from previous box office stings , but this film delivered the biggest blow to the studio . after the studio predicted it would make a $ 49 million loss at theaters\nkellogg\u2019s racial theory , and thus the racial theory in road to wellville , is based on the work of sir francis galton , who , in 1883 , invented the term eugenics to express the \u201cscience of improving stock , especially in the case of man , to give the more suitable [ i . e . , \u201cwhite\u201d ] races or strains of blood a better chance of prevailing , over the less suitable , than they otherwise would have had . \u201d 5 as net migration to the united states reached the twenty million mark in 1920 , many \u201cprogressive\u201d americans , including john harvey kellogg and president theodore roosevelt , feared that the \u201cgreat protestant - american race , \u201d which allegedly possessed superior genetic qualities , might be drowned by an \u201cinvasion\u201d of inassimilable , and \u201cuncivilized , \u201d immigrants from asia , eastern europe , and central america . 6 by invoking the eugenic specter of race suicide , the pre - existing fear of black - white miscegenation and class - mixing , and the takeover of modern society by defective degenerates and \u201cforeigners\u201d who would out - breed the established white anglo -

playing to create a \u201cracial double\u201d : that is , a \u201cwhite\u201d character ( george kellogg ) who , through class and race - oriented constructions , represents the token inclusion of a black character in the essentially white society depicted in the film . 17 george\u2019s role as a \u201cperson of color\u201d stems from his personal history . in the film , the kelloggs adopt forty - two children and raise them to be examples of \u201crace betterment\u201d by teaching them the proper rules of diet , exercise , and sexual abstinence . to prove his eugenic theories are valid , dr . kellogg adopts a prostitute\u2019s son , names him george , and tries to \u201cconvert\u201d him to a model of white racial superiority . as george attests : \u201cmy mother was a chicago whore \u2026 she died one night , and then weeks later the good doctor found me in the slum , cowering over her dead body . he cleaned me up and took me home , but i\u2019m not that clean now am i ? \u201d the fact that george is the son of a prostitute from a working - class chicago neighborhood , where people of color mixed freely with \u201clower - class\u201d whites , automatically renders him \u201cblack\u201d in both race and class . moreover , his unsavory background opens up a space in the viewer\u2019s imagination for racialized and sexualized encounters in the dark streets of chicago .\nthe other sister ( 1999 ) \u2014 budget , $ 35 million . box office , $ 27 , 807 , 627 ( domestic ) . this glurge -

ended plot - boiler of a film , joshua is a startlingly disturbing tale of domestic implosion . the introduction of a new baby starts unraveling the family at the center of the film , exacerbating the mother with its incessant cries and putting the father in the midst of an increasingly hard to control home environment , with\u2026\n. for example , the film earned first place in russia with $ 11 . 42 million over the weekend , while\nat first , joshua invites you almost to imagine the boy ' s sense of rejection and growing frustration .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\njoshua is one of those horror films where after you are done viewing it , you just sit there and think about what you have experienced , about what you have just gone through . it ' s a film that made me think , wondor , and just kept me at an uneasy , unsettling feeling after the film had ended . director , george ratliff has crafted a very dark and very disturbing film about a disturbed , yet highly intelligent young 9 - year old boy named joshua , as his erratic behavior slowly starts to tare apart the family . i don ' t want to say too much , but this is a very creepy and sophistacated horror film that will truly keep you on your feet ! sam rockwell and vera farmiga portray\u2026\nratliff never acknowledges that his audience has likely seen this setup dozens of times before , making the film feel laborious and unsurprising .\ntheir vile abusive parents , would be vastly more credible , though it ' s just not been done that way in film .\nthis movie moved waaay too slow for its own good . i know the director was going for that show - burn dread that i like so much in artful contemporary horror , but they payoff in this film was infinitsimal . there are so many interesting avenues this film could have explored , but it introduced then abandoned every one of them . joshua and his grandmother ' s rabid religiosity , abby ' s sever recurrent post - partum depression , the inherent tensions between brad ' s homelife and career and joshua ' s own emotional turmoil are all completely wasted here . i think that the shifting focus between the characters in this film was a mistake . first it ' s abby , and she ' s quickly disposed of , then it would appear to be joshua for a little while , and the plot finally settles on the unravelling brad . just when it looks like they ' re going to grant joshua some depth , they flatten him out again . which is the biggest shame in the film , because he could have proven to be a new breed of bad seed . oh well .\nthere ' s a subtle little fillip at the end which showed joshua capable of something approximating love , for his faggy attentive uncle , which puts joshua ' s effete good grooming , love of museums , & hatred of sports , in a slightly homophobic context .\nlike we were thinking ,\nthen went back to see if the film could be edited to include a reference or two to the title .\nbut ratliff has made a genre film , and if you make a genre film , you either fulfill the genre , transform it , transcend it or apotheosize it . you can ' t do it halfway , and you can ' t offer up something that ' s not quite as satisfying .\nthe video tape joshua pulls from the drawer to watch is dated 2 / 29 / 1997 . 1997 was not a leap year .\nhistory , in its lumbering way , can still outpace hollywood . the original trailer for the kingdom ( peter berg , 2007 ) played late last year , promising the purest propaganda film of the era . an american base in saudi arabia has been suicide - bombed by a terrorist mastermind . voice of liberal reason : \u201cyou have to let the tools of diplomacy work . \u201d cue jennifer garner , no - nonsense forensics expert : \u201cif we can\u2019t get there now , we will not find the man responsible for this crime . \u201d\njoshua is the main attraction , but it is his parents whose eyes we as the audience see through . vera farmiga ( 2006 ' s\nthe cairn family welcome a newborn baby into their family , and slowly sanity begins to unravel for everyone . at the heart of the insanity is joshua , a 9 - year old prodigy with an obsession for egyptian death rites . we all know where this story is headed , of course , having been privy to a number of bad seed knockoffs . thankfully , writer / director george ratliff knows this , too . what sets joshua apart is its attention to character and personal drama . to be honest , this film could easily be classified as a drama rather than a horror film , and that\u2019s its greatest strength .\nthe video tape joshua pulls from the drawer to watch is dated 2 / 29 / 1997 . 1997 was not a leap year . see more \u00bb\nthe leader of the dave matthews band is part of the company , ato pictures , that produced\njoshua ,\nstarring sam rockwell . matthews says he was involved in finding the film project , but was not very involved in the production ( one exception _ urging that rockwell be one of the actors ) .\nso stop reading right here & return to this article after seeing the film , then see if you agree with me about the basis for its capacity to disturb .\ni had a different take on the film . firstly , i belive that joshua was abused . the drawings , trail of dead pets etc point to this - and there is no doubt there is something wrong with the child . also let ' s not forget the bruising on joshua ' s back to which the dad exclaimed\nwho did this to you ?\n. the end scene in which josh and ned are playing the piano together indicate to me the possibility of ned abusing joshua . . . i believe that someone was , but ned seems the only one to have had the proximity of doing so .\npoised self - consciously between art and entertainment , \u201cjoshua\u201d offers imaginative staging and some superb performances . celia weston is all clenched teeth and frozen hair as joshua\u2019s aggressively christian grandmother , while dallas roberts brings so much charisma to the minor role of an empathetic uncle , you wish he were around more often .\njoshua ,\nwhich opens in limited release friday and expands to wider release later this month , is about a musical child whose family life dramatically alters once his baby sister is born . quickly , the family starts to fall apart , and joshua seems to be at the center of its downfall .\ndespite several such creepy moments , the film ' s fundamental narrative is more wearying than horrifying . certainly , the monster child plot is familiar , but the easy fit of the\nbad mothers\ninto joshua ' s apparent worldview - - they ' re weak , needy , angry - - is downright disappointing . while brad is by no means a conventional guy hero , he ' s no match for the scheming , ingenious boy . joshua ' s story overwhelms all .\nmore precise than the monster film genre , the zombie flick ( a perennial cultstud fave ) is cinematic silly putty : cheap , gross fun , with a knack for picking up the day\u2019s newsprint and stretching it across the warp of what looks a lot like dead flesh . for a brief passage of time , it seems like 28 weeks later ( juan carlos fresnadillo , 2007 ) will be the best war movie ever . this despite the fact that it\u2019s barely distinct from predecessor 28 days later ( danny boyle , 2002 ) , origin of the fast zombie trend .\nit ' s a small thing , really , but it sets up the tension that will drive george ratliff ' s urban horror movie . the trouble begins for nine - year - old joshua ( jacob kogan ) when his father brad ( sam rockwell ) pulls him away from the soccer game to attend the birth of his sister lily . the first glimpse joshua has of the intruder is from a hospital room door : he looks in on mom abby ( vera farmiga ) and dad cooing over their precious bundle . grim and pale , joshua here adopts the demon - child demeanor he will maintain for the rest of george ratliff ' s film .\ni hate to be the rube to say it , but\nthe bad seed ,\nthe 1956 camp classic , did this sort of thing better . yes ,\njoshua\nhas it all over\nthe bad seed\nin terms of composition , and it does incite dread in a way that the earlier film never did . but\nthe bad seed\nhad one thing that\njoshua\nlacks and desperately needs : it had a pint - size sociopath who was fun to hate .\nvera farmiga who plays joshua ' s mother . would also play a mother to another evil child . ' esther ' in the 2009 horror thriller ' orphan ' .\nbut something curious happened . after an advance screening or two , the film vanished ; trailers too . life went on . the test numbers for the real war surged downward to darkness .\nthe movie is okay but it has a lot of loopholes . joshua is a sick child who is both brilliant and insane . his actions were all well calculated and planned . this is a case of extreme sibling rivalry . . joshua has been very insecure with his parents ' love for him which was brought about by lily his baby sister . i think joshua idolizes his uncle too much that he did everything just to ruin his own parents so that he could be with his uncle who was also a disturbed man .\n\u201cjoshua\u201d is rated r ( under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian ) . it has breast - feeding , child - slapping , granny - pushing and rodent - stuffing .\n< i > joshua < / i > is the tale of brad ( sam rockwell ) and abby ( vera farmiga ) cairn , perfect manhattan parents in a perfect manhattan apartment whose perfect life begins to crack after the birth of their second child lily . shortly after lily arrives home , a dark side of prodigy son joshua slowly begins to reveal itself .\nfor 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\u2019s 1958 film touch of evil .\nthe screenwriters adopt a strategy of having all of joshua ' s crimes take place offscreen . they have their reasons . by keeping the crimes offstage , joshua ' s evil is never grounded in practicalities . he can float through the film as a frightening spirit of menace , as almost an abstraction . moreover , if we were to see him actually poisoning the hamsters in school , the spectacle might look unconvincing or unintentionally funny , and the whole picture could come crashing down . but as it stands , the picture doesn ' t crash - - it just never takes off .\nbut ultimately all this restraint leaves the impression that\njoshua\nwas a thriller made by a director who just wasn ' t interested in thrilling . ratliff , who made the documentary\nhell house ,\nis more at home depicting the scenes of family life - - an uncompromising portrait of stress , fatigue and unhappiness . the film ' s dialogue has an expansive , naturalistic quality that makes the viewer feel like an eavesdropper . it ' s in these details that the movie ' s strengths lie , and people who like\njoshua\nwill like it for these reasons .\nwhat a strangle little film . i think this is one of those films that needs to be watched a second time before you can fully appreciate it . maybe . i ' ve yet to find out .\nhaving taken an interest in ancient egypt & the mummification process , we about half expect joshua will be using a long skinny spoon to scoop out his baby sister ' s brains through her nose . but there is no goriness to the film , & though he does eventually get round to mummifying something , in the main this interest merely adds to the suspense of a story that remains strictly psychological .\npart of the fun of joshua is the skill with which ratliff juggles horror and realism , feeding one into the other until we become part of the unraveling of the cairns ' perfect life .\nthe closing themesong , david matthews '\nthe fly ,\nis a sweet tune of horror that explains it all , in case any of us missed the point . it ' s sung first by joshua as one of the creepiest serenades of love ever seen on film , then by matthews behind the end credits . it made me watch all the credits just to hear the song while my stomach continued sinking with a kind of awe for what it reveals . too bad the whole film wasn ' t as awe - inspiring as this close , but it ' s frankly in great part david matthews ' doing .\nthe whispering routine , however , seems to have been an afterthought & not well developed . it ' s as though the film were mostly in the can when someone said ,\nhey , we could call it\ni don ' t like soccer ,\njoshua says later that night . tucked into bed , he looks up at brad , who does his inept best to reassure him : it ' s okay not to play soccer , it ' s okay not to like baseball . joshua persists .\ndo you ever feel weird about me , your weird son ?\nbrad blanches , caught out with no ready answer except the usual platitudes . so now you know : joshua - - brilliant student , musical prodigy - - is feeling unloved , jealous , and afraid . and he ' s weird .\njoshua falls a bit flat at the end , but overall it delivers some genuine old - school chills - something that was missing when macaulay culkin played a similar role in\nthe good son .\njoshua\nis a masterful study in subtlety that proves horror films don ' t necessarily require gouged eyes and decapitations to earn their place in the higher echelons of the genre . take the recent\nthe cairn ' s life seems to be a harmonic family : the father brad works as a stockbroker , his wife abby takes care of their common new -

year - old joshua , an eccentric boy whose proper upbringing and refined tastes both take a sinister turn .\ni would warn the dear reader of this review to stop now & read no further , as almost anything said of the film will be a spoiler . it would be better to view it before finishing my analysis thereof . if it ' s review enough , i can assure the reader it ' s definitely worth watching ; its small surprises will be more effective if you enter the film completely uncertain who in the story is the nuttiest of a nutty batch .\nas the truck rams the car over the cliff and falls off in the final film , there is a low roar sound effect that the filmmaker included to emphasize the death of the truck . spielberg , who wanted the truck to seem\nthe cairn ' s life seems to be a harmonic family : the father brad works as a stockbroker , his wife abby takes care of their common new -

grader traversed a big - city crosswalk will have their nerves seriously jangled by joshua .\ni ' m not so sure that the writers left this movie without an ending . i think the message is in joshua ' s composition at the end of the son , as well as hidden in the nature of his relationship with his parents throughout the movie . joshua is a constant figure in the film , however , when his parents are present , he becomes scenery . he repeatedly questions his parents love for him , however discusses in his song that he never doubted his uncle ' s love for him . perhaps the point was not for joshua to continue to kill until there was no one left , but rather to set it up such that custody of him and his sister should go to his uncle\nas it always should have been\n. with his mother , grandmother and father out of the way , the only relative who could take custody of he and his sister was his uncle .\nare simply awful at just 16 % positive . furthermore , early reports suggest the audience reaction won\u2019t be much better . it\u2019s too soon to tell if this film is going to underperform already low expectations , but this is not a good sign .\nthe arrival of a newborn girl causes the gradual disintegration of the cairn family ; particularly for 9 -

year - old joshua ( kogan ) , an eccentric boy whose proper upbringing and refined tastes . . . see more \u00bb\njoshua is definitely a disturbed child , but it must be questioned why he is the way he is . parental influence must have played some role in this . although i don ' t think joshua has been abused , as is claimed in this movie , i think his mother and father are both unstable to different degrees . being as bright as he is , joshua is probably very aware of this . and like the person who posted the last comment , i believe he does everything he does not purely because he is evil . i think he just wants to live a life with his uncle that would be drastically better for him than the current situation with his parents .\nthe contrived script expects us to believe that joshua ' s fainting spells , his nocturnal home videos of his sleeping family and his acts of violence on crowded new york city streets fail to raise suspicion until it is too late .\ndo you know what joshua said to his sister on the video which is watched by brad ? you know , the video recorded by joshua during the night with the infrared video - camera . i did ' nt hear what he said . . . the theory in which joshua has been abused by ned is possible . but i think he feels forsaken by his mother who is always with lily , and by his father who is always working ( and maybe is cheating on abby ) . . . so , he has just wanted to change his parents by ned without killing . . . and i think it because of the video that he started to look for separate from his parents .\nwhen his dad at last comes to the realization of how deeply narcisistic & evil his son is , he sets out to protect the infant & himself in the worst conceivable ways , proclaiming open warfare on joshua . alas for brad , joshua ' s way , way ahead of him . and before it ' s over , daddy won ' t be able to argue very convincingly that he ' s not himself a vicious child abuser whose kid is innocence personified .\nthe 1996 yugoslavian film pretty village , pretty flame proves that hit films don\u2019t necessarily translate from continent to continent . while it received plenty of favorable reviews from american film critics , pretty village , pretty flame only managed to attract $ 211 worth of business when it received a one -

its u . s . distributor , magnolia pictures , even earned a golden trailer award nomination for best horror poster . the film currently holds a zero percent rating on rotten tomatoes ( though 22 percent of the audience liked it ) .\nthe little fellow in\njoshua\nis hateful , but it ' s not fun hating him . he ' s vile . he ' s obnoxious . he ' s fake in his every utterance , but not amusingly fake - - disturbingly fake , in that one can see how he ' d fool his parents , who are exhausted from overwork and from dealing with a screaming infant .

( witness the storm of outrage when the writer ayelet waldman confessed , in a 2005 essay and later on \u201cthe oprah winfrey show , \u201d to loving her husband more than her children . )\n, and 2014 could not compete with that , so it lost ground to 2013 . june hopes to turn things around and there are some reasons to be optimistic . all four weeks there is at least one film opening that at least has a shot at $ 100 million . there are even two films that at least have a shot at $ 300 million .\nthe first scene in joshua is both banal and ominous . young boys are playing soccer , the camera focused on their thin , be - socksed legs as they kick the ball and dash across the grass . the idyll is instantly adjusted when the coach yells out ,\nyou ' re playing like a bunch of little girls !\nbut it\u2019s sam rockwell\u2019s spectacular turn as the harried paterfamilias that simultaneously binds the film and pushes its boundaries . whether coddling his character\u2019s doped - up wife or reaching out to his wacky son , mr . rockwell is never less than convincing as a stressed - out dad whose life is slowly disintegrating . the story might get away from him , but his grip on that character never falters .\nwe are introduced to a well - cast young actor , jacob koban as eight year old joshua . this young actor seems to understand the concept of\nless is more\n& presents a blank gaze & dandified veneer that permits to viewer to project onto him every expectation already in them about how bad even a well - behaved child might really be .\nis by far their biggest property . even including the film\u2019s grosses from wednesday and thursday , its $ 69 million debut is barely in the top ten for the year so far , and poor reviews and a b + cinemascore mean that it won\u2019t have significant legs , even with a bit of help from the upcoming july 4 weekend . so all eyes are going to be on its overseas performance .\neasily won the race for the top of the box office chart and became the first film released in 2014 to earn more than $ 100 million during its opening weekend . granted , it barely made it , but we will take it . this helped the overall box office climb by 20 % to $ 190 million over the weekend . unfortunately , this was still 8 % lower than the same weekend\nthe staging of the doom of vince ( joel edgerton ) involving sneaky evil david , one of his hellhounds , & an ice - covered lake , is one of the better horror sequences in a film with fewer good bits than it needed . the doom of roxane ( sarah wayne callies ) & the doom of the detective ( dule hill ) both fail miserably , for lack of imagination or emotional content .\nspielberg got his start directing for tv at the age of 21 , helming episodes of such shows as night gallery and marcus welby , m . d . but the aspiring filmmaker was desperately searching for a property he could turn into a feature film . it was spielberg ' s secretary , nona tyson , who found matheson\u2019s story in playboy and first sent it to her boss to potentially adapt into a movie .\nit ' d be a stressful situation even if joshua ' s plan wasn ' t , in essence , to insure that neither his mother nor his father is ever loved by anyone ever , to the end of their lives . yep . that ' s the plan . and honest to shit , it ' s a much spookier plan than just killing ' em outright .\n\u201cghastly\u201d kind of says it all . this 1950s - inspired sci - fi musical\u2014which stars creed bratton ( a . k . a . creed from the office ) \u2014may have nabbed five awards on the american film festival circuit , but it only managed to scare up $ 117 during the week it spent in a single theater in kansas city , kansas in october 2012 . maybe that\u2019s because it had screened at the kansas international film festival less than three weeks earlier ? in the spring of 2013 , johnny tried again , placing the movie in six theaters over the course of four weeks . while it managed to break the $ 1000 mark in revenues when it showed in two theaters in l . a . ( $ 1356 to be exact ) , its total run earned back just $ 2436 of its estimated $ 2 million budget .\nwith : sam rockwell ( brad cairn ) , vera farmiga ( abby cairn ) , celia weston ( hazel cairn ) , dallas roberts ( ned davidoff ) , michael mckean ( chester jerkins ) , alex draper ( stewart slocum ) , nancy giles ( betsy polsheck ) , linda larkin ( ms . danforth ) , stephanie roth haberle ( pediatrician ) and jacob kogan ( joshua cairn ) .\nand i would be surprised if it tops $ 150 million by any serious margin . june looks a lot more profitable . there are five weeks and every week there is at least one film with a great shot at $ 100 million or more . in fact , there are four films with at least a decent shot at $ 200 million and we could double the number of $ 300 million hits released so far this year .\n) is an emotional wreck for the bulk of the running time as mother abby . it initially seems as if she is the crazy one in the family , prone to unpleasant mood swings and at her wit ' s end over dealing with her fussy new daughter . as she fights to keep it together for the love of her son , the question becomes : is abby losing her mind , or is it all being meticulously orchestrated by joshua ? the answer is left somewhat ambiguous\u0097my inclination is that her problems stem from both\u0097and that is as it should be . a scene in which abby and joshua play hide - and - seek is dripping with the kind of suspense rarely seen and captured , and it ' s a testament to director george ratliff that he achieves this despite little in the way of action occurring .\nbut more than anything ,\njoshua\nis a showcase for the immensely gifted rockwell , who pushes himself through an astonishing range of emotions . and every aspect of his character - the cool dad , the terrified husband , the placating son - is completely convincing . well , almost completely : by the end , we know better than to believe him when he insists that everything is going to be just fine .\nin june , universal floated an autumn release date\u2014and a new trailer . it recuts much of the same material with some new stuff , newly dark and ominous , now scored to u2\u2019s \u201cbullet the blue sky . \u201d \u201callow us to help your men catch this criminal , \u201d pleads team leader jamie foxx . \u201cwe shouldn\u2019t be here . we shouldn\u2019t be here ! \u201d professes their host . cut to patrician politico : \u201cthe end comes no matter what . the only thing that matters is , how do you wanna go out ? \u201d a movie about why we had to go in becomes a movie about how we should comport ourselves while there , with hints of exit strategy and a militant - pacifist soundtrack\u2014the film seemingly edited from pro - to antiwar , without ever being released . the circuit of culture grows shorter than ever ; the intermediate phase , where cultural studies labors to suture the film to the history around it , has been rendered obsolete .\nit\u2019s no accident that mr . rockwell cited three particularly creepy films to make his point . \u201cjoshua\u201d is the latest in a long line of \u201cbad seed\u201d movies that portray children as avatars of evil . mr . ratliff knows that his movie can be construed as a nightmare view of parenthood . \u201ci always blame david gilbert , my co - writer , \u201d he said in a telephone interview . \u201cit was 100 percent his idea . \u201d\nit ' s gonna get better\nis brad ' s mantra , but it doesn ' t . in fact , it gets much , much worse . and joshua , it ' s becoming clear , is at the center of the storm . it ' s always been obvious that he ' s an unusual boy , but brad , much to his own horror , is starting to wonder if he ' s an evil one .\nit\u2019s certainly a far cry from the sleek , rambling upper east side apartment of the family in \u201cjoshua . \u201d the boy , played with eerie calm by jacob kogan , goes to an elite private school . mr . rockwell\u2019s character is a hedge - fund manager who plays squash at a fancy club . at home mr . rockwell has no central park views , and he exercises at crunch . his passion is boxing , not squash .\nless than one month after he accepted a best actor oscar for his portrayal of idi amin in the last king of scotland , forest whitaker was making news of a different sort when the supernatural thriller he starred in alongside gabrielle anwar was released in one theater for three days and recouped less than . 005 percent of its $ 7 million budget . as the film\u2019s tagline stated :\nyou can bury the past , but sometimes the past won ' t stay buried . . .\n) is an unsung dramatic actor who finds the truth in each moment and holds on it . the way in which his character metamorphosizes is disconcerting and yet absolutely electrifying , going from a happy - go - lucky dad with undying love for joshua to a beaten - down soul on the verge of losing everything and questioning who his son really is . in a nicely nuanced and understated supporting turn , dallas roberts ( 2006 ' s\nin this coldly elegant setting , evil manifests without the aid of the usual retro - gothic signifiers like the inverted crucifix or the malevolent nanny . instead the sinister is an elusive presence , as much a part of the mise - en - sc\u00e8ne as the baby\u2019s crib , to which joshua is developing an eerie attraction . but for abby , trapped in her gleaming prison with not one but two disagreeable children , the more immediate horror is motherhood itself .\n,\nfor example , seen by myself less than an hour before\njoshua .\nthe former spared no expense on the red stuff , but that apparently didn ' t leave enough money for acquiring a good script . the end result was a movie that was unscary and dramatically cold . by comparison , this modern - day\nbad seed\ntale expertly weaves a spell of genuine frights and jittery tension even in the most innocuous of scenes .\nhence this version of film criticism seems of late like child\u2019s play . the geopolitics decoder ring always works , and with a minimum of twiddles : 1\u20132\u20133 baghdad ! ( alternately , the count can go 9\u201311 - new york ! ) cinematic administrations are always dummies for the current regimes ; villains , once mere criminals , now tend toward self - serving ideologues , worshipping at the altar of blow - stuff - up - ism . when we go out at night , terror is the order of the day ."]}

others state 1904 ) . shearer married mgm & apos ; s studio chief , irving thalberg , in 1927 . the marriage , combined with her hard work , helped her become a star in the 1930s . she received six academy award nominations , winning for her role in the divorcee . shearer died in woodland hills , california , on june 12 , 1983 .\nthe wholesale conversion to sound of all three sectors of the american film industry took place in less than 15 months between late 1927 and 1929 , and the profits of the major companies increased during that period by as much as 600 percent . although the transition was fast , orderly , and profitable , it was also enormously expensive . the industrial system as it had evolved for the previous three decades needed to be completely overhauled ; studios and theatres had to be totally reequipped and creative personnel retrained or fired . in order to fund the conversion , the film companies were forced to borrow in excess of $ 350 million , which placed them under the indirect control of the two major new york - based financial groups , the morgan group and the rockefeller group .\ntragically - realistic films were a big part of the silent film era - the silents naturally lent themselves to melodrama . the only means by which an actor or actress could communicate meaning and feelings was through facial expressions and gestures . one of the earliest melodramas was director frank powell ' s silent film ( based upon a stage play ) titled a fool there was ( 1915 ) , with theda bara ( in her star - making film debut ) cast as an evil , dark , wicked and mysterious vampire who seductively lures a weak - willed family man away and controls his heart with her sexy wiles .\narthur was also a prolific author and when andr\u00e9 agreed to buy his screenplay the spirit of adventure for \u00a3100 plus royalties , andr\u00e9 engaged bannister merwin , an american director , to produce the film . the film was to have starred actress phyllis monkman and was scheduled to begin shooting in early september 1917 . however , following zeppelin raids over piccadilly in october 1917 , they decided for safety to move the whole company to ewell . however , despite increasing the production budget when they got to garbrand hall , the filming of the spirit of adventure came to nothing .\naged 20 , osborne married frank dempsey , but on her divorce four years later , and with a daughter to bring up , she got a job as a shop assistant . happily , she was rescued by king , who got her work at rko studios as an extra , in bit parts and as ginger rogers ' s stand - in for the gay divorcee ( 1934 ) , swing time ( 1936 ) and shall we dance ( 1937 ) .\n, in which image and sound are printed on separate pieces of film so that they can be manipulated independently . postsynchronization enabled filmmakers to edit images freely again . because the overwhelming emphasis of the period from 1928 to 1931 had been on obtaining high - quality sound in production , however , the idea that the\n. fox , like the warners , had seen sound as a way of cornering the market among smaller exhibitors . therefore , in the summer of 1926 , he acquired the rights to the\nfor the express purpose of producing sound films using the photophone system ( which ultimately became the industry standard ) .\nit was in the area of production , however , that the greatest problems arose . the statement that \u201cthe movies ceased to move when they began to talk\u201d accurately described the films made during the earliest years of the transition , largely because of technical limitations . early\nfilm at ucr artsblock : \u201cthe unknown known\u201d ( 2013 ) , a film about the career and philosophy of u . s . secretary of defense donald rumsfeld , 7 p . m . dec . 5 ;

prostitution , miscegenation , sexual deviance , or drug addiction ; nudity , sexually suggestive dancing or costumes , and \u201clustful kissing\u201d ; and excessive drinking ,\nin addition to writing , mathis was also a production executive ;

but as far as one can tell , they involved overseeing the development of motion picture scripts , supervising activities on the set , and presiding over the editing process , duties studio producers commonly assumed during the 1930s .\nin a swing away from the excesses of the \u201cnew morality\u201d of the jazz age , the production code was monumentally repressive , forbidding the depiction on - screen of almost everything germane to the experience of normal human adults . it prohibited showing \u201cscenes of passion , \u201d and adultery , illicit\njoinville in 1930 to mass - produce multilingual films . the other major american studios quickly followed suit , making the region a factory for the round - the - clock production of movies in as many as 15 separate languages . by the end of 1931 , however , the technique of\nfurthermore , although cooperation between the film companies through such agencies as the mppda , the academy of motion picture arts and sciences , and the society of motion picture engineers ensured a smooth transition in corporate terms , inside the newly wired theatres and studio soundstages there was confusion and disruption . the three competing systems\u2014vitaphone , movietone , and photophone\u2014were all initially incompatible , and their technologies were under such constant modification that equipment was sometimes obsolete before it was uncrated . whatever system producers chose , exhibitors during the early transitional period were forced to maintain both sound - on - disc and sound - on - film reproduction equipment . even as late as 1931 , studios were still releasing films in both formats to accommodate theatres owned by sound - on - disc interests .\nchildren\u2019s film at goethe - institut los angeles : \u201cdie schneekoenigin ( the snow queen ) \u201d ( 1966 , in german ) , 10 a . m . dec . 7 . tickets $ 5 . 5750 wilshire blvd . 323 - 525 - 3399 . urltoken\nin addition to the orchestral score ;

motion technique used in the original film and son of kong . unfortunately , these intriguing japanese kong flicks are considered lost films , and aside from a poster for king kong appears in edo and a few photo stills , there remains very little evidence that the movies existed at all . nevertheless , the notion that these remakes were produced hints at how far back in history that the relationship between japan and king kong goes . taking this connection into account , it is easy to see why toho portrayed kong , not godzilla , as the hero in kk vs . g .\nthe predator reshoots removed [ spoiler ] and added references to alien vs . predator !\nfreddy vs . jason . dir . ronny yu . new line cinema . 2003 .\nfrankenstein vs . godzilla ,\nscripted by shinichi sekizawa ( mothra ) contained elements that would be employed in frankenstein vs . baragon , but ended with godzilla being washed out to sea in a huge flood , while frankenstein is consumed by the collapsing earth around him . with sekizawa off to penning king kong vs . godzilla , the frankenstein project ended up in the hands of kimura . the president of united productions of america , henry g . saperstein , after purchasing mothra vs . godzilla ( 1964 ) and successfully licensing it to american international pictures as godzilla vs . the thing , became interested in the giant frankenstein scenario . saperstein tapped reuben bercovitch ( hell in the pacific ) and jerry sohl ( the twilight zone ) to flesh out a synopsis that could be turned into a screenplay .\nthe hollywood reporter writes that wingard , a go -

( see : the media spectacles surrounding kate middleton\u2019s fairytale wedding and now fairytale baby ; the storylines of best - selling novels like helen fielding\u2019s austen - inspired bridget jones novels and the works of jennifer weiner ; films and tv shows like 2011\u2019s friends with kids and even hbo\u2019s sex and the city \u2014a series originally deemed celebratory of single women . )\n2 ) pay attention to family dynamics . one of the greatest things about weddings is that they bring the people you love together to celebrate love itself . however , it ' s not necessarily all joy and celebration throughout the process . reconnecting with parents or certain relatives can stir up old family dynamics that aren ' t always pleasant and may actually have been harmful to you growing up . jealous mothers , overprotective fathers , or critical step - parents can cause the bride and groom distress in days leading up to the wedding . these dynamics can actually leave a person in a more childish state , perhaps overreacting emotionally to minor issues . or you may start to put up your guard and relate to loved ones in defensive ways . acting out patterns from your childhood is not only something that is done with parents or siblings but with your fianc\u00e9 ( e ) as well . in the course of planning your wedding , if you notice yourself changing the way you relate to your partner for the worse , this should be a red flag that something else might be stirring you up .\n3 . 1 . 1 we fixed a crash some of you experienced when working with payments and an issue with saving new tasks . 3 . 1 . 0 we\u2019ve enhanced the payments module . * we improved the payment summary . now it\u2019s easier to see your remaining budget , total paid , cost per guest , and overall balance . to make sure your summary is accurate , check your guest count and overall budget in the wedding profile off the more tab . * we made it easier to record deposits and partial payments . to split up a payment , tap into the payment detail and tap make a deposit . * view your payments by vendor . now there is a \u201cby vendor\u201d section on the payments list with a spending summary for each vendor . weddinghappy auto - saves notes when you leave the app while in the note edit screen . we\u2019ve fixed some bugs too . * fixed an issue when setting the budget with international currencies * other minor bug fixes thank you for using weddinghappy to plan your wedding ! if you have any questions or feedback , please send us a message from the more tab anytime . let ' s plan ~\nthe peak season for\ni do ' s\nis upon us , and if you ' re among the excited couples about to walk down the aisle , you ' re probably getting advice from all directions . everyone from grandparents to groomsmen , coworkers to caterers are lining up to offer up suggestions for every detail of your big day . while planning your wedding can surely be a fun and exciting venture you share with the people closest to you , it can also be a source of stress and certain unanticipated tensions that act as bumps on your road to married life .\n1 ) don ' t focus on form over content . one bittersweet fact about weddings is that they tend to consume a great deal of time . getting caught up in the frenzy of choosing the right napkin color or dinner entr\u00e9e can be quite a distraction from other aspects of your life , even your relationship itself . wedding planning leaves many couples at - risk of placing form over content . in other words , you can shift your concentration to everything looking perfect and away from actually being great in your relationship . exhausting yourself with organizing a wedding can take its toll on intimacy . the\nyour day\nmentality surrounding the occasion may feel good at first , but it ' s important not to let the occasion become all about you . planning the event should always come second to enjoying this time with your partner . it ' s best to avoid absorbing yourself with making everything look perfect , and to instead think about what would bring you closest to your partner throughout the day . what would keep you in the moment ? what experiences could you and your loved one share that would be the most uniquely meaningful to the two of you ?\noh my gosh , we finally did it ! weddinghappy 2 . 0 ' s big day is here ! - sync to multiple apple devices with weddinghappy premium - free unlimited tasks for everyone - ios 8 support - optimized for iphone 6 & iphone 6 plus - wedding day countdown today widget ( requires ios 8 ) - all new design - same - sex support for new weddings .

has the franchise taken an unexpected turn for the darker and edgier while you weren ' t looking ?\nyou pop in the disc ( or crack the cover ) and find , surprise surprise , that the series hasn ' t really changed at all . what ' s changed is how its content is seen . something that might have been perfectly innocuous and acceptable 20 or 10 or even five years ago is now regarded as automatic grounds for a rating bump , even if everything else in the series is all rainbows and unicorns . this also happens as ratings systems grow more robust over time , introducing more tiers of ratings and allowing for more precise classification . more egregious cases can be chalked up to overzealous media watchdogs and moral guardians .\ncontrast what do you mean , it ' s not for kids ? , where something genuinely inappropriate for younger audiences is mistaken for being perfectly innocuous ( often due to the animation age ghetto ) . when this is invoked by the executives to generate new buzz in an old line , the affected installment has been rated m for money .\nnote that this trope does not apply to series whose content has genuinely become darker and edgier . for those that do so which are or become dramas , see cerebus syndrome . for those which become or stay as comedies , those are tone shifts towards black comedy .\n' s video - on - demand / online service fit this trope , which is really strange considering anime network is owned by the same company that releases these dvds .

of - yet best adaptation of a lovecraft story , and a very , very worthy film in its own . cool air is taken from hpl ' s short story of the same name , and talks about the meeting of the main character , carter in this version , with the mysterious dr munoz , and the resulting facts . bryan moore , director and lead , is decent , but not exceptional in either role . the supporting mrs caprezzi is very good , but jack donner as doctor munoz is astounding - it ' s worth watching this film for his performance alone . also , for such a small production , the film is very well done , and the accompanying soundtrack is at times almost moving . having watched in my life way too many mythos - inspired films , i have to say , this one tops them all , going well above the more complicated the whisperer in darkness . cannot recommend enough . must watch now !\nshot back in 2006 , albert pyun\u2019s cool air didn\u2019t hit the us market until may 21 st , 2013 . that\u2019s a long time to gestate . an adaptation of h . p . lovecraft\u2019s short story of the same title , this one wanders our way fresh from the depths of no budget land . however , pyun shows some savvy in cutting the proper corners to syphon the most possible from a very limited production . cool air isn\u2019t going to\u2026 blow you away ( didn\u2019t mean to do it , i swear ! ) , but if you\u2019re a fan of lovecraft\u2019s work , you may find yourself pleasantly surprised .\nif heat is not your thing , rejoice : a thin plastic sheet may soon provide some relief from the intense summer sun . the film , made from transparent plastic embedded with tiny glass spheres , absorbs almost no visible light , yet pulls in heat from any surface it touches . already , the new material , when combined with a mirrorlike silver film , has been shown to cool whatever it sits on by as much as 10\u00b0c . and because it can be made cheaply at high volumes , it could be used to passively cool buildings and electronics such as solar cells , which work more efficiently at lower temperatures .\nthe crew rigged a doorbell to a high -

millimeter - wide sheets and backed them with a thin mirrorlike coating of silver . when laid across objects in the midday sun , the bottom layer of silver reflected almost all the visible light that hit it : the film absorbed only about 4 % of incoming photons . at the same time , the film sucked heat out of whatever surface it was sitting on and radiated that energy at a mid - ir frequency of 10 micrometers . because few air molecules absorb ir at that frequency , the radiation drifts into empty space without warming the air or the surrounding materials , causing the objects below to cool by as much as 10\u00b0c . just as important , yin notes that the new film can be made in a roll -

cooling . in room cooling , the flowers are held in buckets which are placed in a cooler . in the forced air cooling system , the flowers packed in perforated boxes are subjected to cool air blasts for a specific period in a closed room to remove field heat . the flowers take 20 - 30 minutes for cooling in forced cooling depending on the flower type and initial temperature in the box . proper temperature ( 1 . 7\u00b0c to 4\u00b0c ) and relative humidity ( 90 - 95 % ) maintenance are critical to the success of precooling , otherwise the flowers will dessicate .\nalthough coming in at a very slim 78 minutes ( that includes an interminable credits sequence ) , cool air moves slowly , without ever really managing to create any tension . flat acting accounts for much of the feeling of slackness . but part of the problem , too , comes from a script that can\u2019t produce dialogue . in one scene , weisser half -

circulating the wine a number of times until the acetic acid levels rise sufficiently , or part of a batch is retained to inoculate the next batch . typically , vinegar contains 6 - 10 % acetic acid , which preserves the product for many months / years provided that it is sealed in an airtight container to prevent the acetic acid from evaporating . more modem vinegar fermenters pump air into the wine and are sufficiently expensive to be beyond the reach of most small scale producers .\nremember that episode of\nthe fresh prince of bel -

- this 2011 belgian film is very much in line with the 1948 italian film\u2019s aesthetics . collaborating as usual with cinematographer alain marcoen , the dardennes make no move that calls attention to itself . there are no tricky shots , no daring overheads , they maintain a grounded vantage point , which ultimately proves to be more immersive than some glossier fictional efforts , in that the kid with a bike is far more persuasive as a believable narrative . it is being lived , not choreographed .\na morning email with must -

wise reign of assassins reminds me a lot of the martial arts productions from the early 90s , a golden period for hong kong cinema and its martial arts films . the film follows zeng jing , an assassin trying to retire from the world of martial arts . complicating her retirement is the theft of an important artifact , which sets a crew of angry adversaries on her tail .\na delightful martial -

' '\nas far as amazon goes , as of the time of this posting , only an all - region import dvd of reign of assassins seems available , though the cover art incorrectly states it was directed by john woo . su chao - pin , a relatively inexperienced and unknown director , received almost constant council from john woo on set , but woo himself said he \u201cdidn\u2019t want to impose [ his ] style on su\u2026 [ he ] only gave advice and shared [ his ] experience . \u201d putting john woo as the director on the dvd cover will no doubt help it to sell more copies , as when quentin tarantino or robert rodriguez put their names under a \u201cpresented by\u201d banner for the less mainstream movies they support , but su did write and direct reign of assassins himself .\n\u201c reign of assassins \u201d star wang xueqi plays \u201cli yutang\u201d a businessman who provides financial support for the revolutionaries and rallies a group of bodyguards to protect sun wen ( sun yat - sen ) . \u201cashes of time\u201d star tony leung ka - fai is \u201cchen shaobai\u201d , a real life character who was a supporter of sun yat - sen and the revolutionaries . he established the china daily newspaper in hong kong to increase support for the revolutionary cause .\nkorean action star jung woo - sung ( reign of assassins , the good , the bad , the weird ) will attempt to fill the shoes of chow yun - fat as a hitman who \u201crisks everything to protect a beautiful singer that he unintentionally blinded . \u201d john h . lee ( a moment to remember ) will direct from a script written by newcomer josh campbell .\ni frequently read movie website pajiba , a site whose non - hollywood columnists like\u2026practically none of the movies that come out in both the cineplex and the arthouse . but they happen to be really excited about the teaser trailer for the new john woo - produced ( and some sources say co - directed ) film called reign of assassins which according to imdb is technically still filming .\nthe spy - movie - worthy attack went off with just one hitch \u2014 jong - nam\u2019s assassins were caught on cameras throughout the airport .\nour first taste of martial arts action comes with an attack on simon yam\u2019s opera troupe . abseiling from a theatre ceiling whilst throwing acid over their opponents , the qing assassins waste no time in their brutal assault on yam\u2019s men . the assassins are armed with poles , tipped with vicious barbed spikes and hooks on chains . it\u2019s a rare treat to see yam using a traditional broadsword as he fights with three assassins led by \u201cwrath of vajra\u201d star xing yu . rather like the kung fu films of old , a lot of blood sprays about , but being a product of the 21st century , it is represented digitally .\nthe convoy is diverted into a street lion dance , which is cover for an ambush by the assassins . nicholas tse uses his rickshaw as a weapon , whilst li yuchun faces xing yu . she gets her chance to shine as she heroically fights off xing yu\u2019s team of assassins whilst he prepares an explosive booby trap .\nreign of assassins should also be lauded for being the first proper lead role for michelle yeoh since crouching tiger , hidden dragon . the former international queen of martial arts cinema has seen her stock drop quite a bit since her james bond + crouching tiger one - two punch , with vehicles like the touch and silverhawk arguably hurting her leading lady cred . indeed , reign warns of a mismatch due to her romance with the clearly younger jung woo - sung . and yet , the pairing is handled well , with yeoh ' s quiet strength and maturity proving a perfect fit for zeng jeng . the film isn ' t flawless ; at some points , the plot twists and revelations don ' t seem to entirely gel , but those moments come late in the film , far after reign of assassins has likely won its audience over . at first glance , the film looks like just another genre flick aimed at the west , but its old school narrative and excellent characterization make it a standout in a could - be played - out genre . hopefully su chao - bin gets another shot at this genre \u2013 and this time , he should get sole director credit . su likely wants that credit , and reign of assassins demonstrates that he ' s earned it .

down and dramatic scenes are exquisitely photographed . it makes films like these a lot easier to watch . from the opening to the very last scene , there isn ' t a boring or dull scene to be found .\nthis is a bold kill . especially because the assassin ( or assassins ) couldn\u2019t possibly have planned for everything , like obscene dwarf burlesque ( 41 : 30 ) or joffrey whimsically demeaning his uncle ( 44 : 35 ) . how did the assassins know joffrey would dump wine all over tyrion\u2019s head ( 45 : 37 ) , thus providing them a perfect opportunity ?\nit was decided when reign of assassins was being financed that woo would co - direct the film . su is one of taiwan\u2019s hottest young talents \u2013 in 2002 he wrote and directed the hit comedy better than sex and has also written high - concept thrillers double vision and silk . he also directed the latter film , but as he only has two directing projects under his belt , and is relatively unknown in mainland china , the investors said they would be more comfortable if woo co - directed .\nzeng jing is skilled enough to escape them and retires after signing up for cosmetic surgery to hide her old face . she marries and seems to be living a happy life , until fate comes to collect her dues . from that point , it ' s all battles and twists that make up the bulk of this film . told in a somewhat atypical chronological order , reign of assassins has a stronger and more developed plot than most peers , most probably because chao -

old role as a villager crushed by a marauding monster . this may also be a sly joke by mr . meily , since ms . koronel , like ms . cuneta , is a major philippine movie star . with a refreshing lack of vanity or pretension , these actresses play their ordinary , hard - luck characters with generosity and grace .\nby the time the day of the burial finally arrives , after a four - day wake , the characters and their complicated relationships have been fully disclosed , setting the scene for a poignant climax . and when guido arrives to take bong away from stella , the moment defies any mother to hold back her tears . nonetheless , crying ladies is a comedy , and true to form , all ' s well that ends well when the outcome of the characters ' lives are revealed in its uplifting epilogue .\nthis being a reality show , there are tears , laughs and plenty of roll - your - eyes moments from some flat - out crazy people . the women move into a house together , which sets things up nicely for jealousy , crying and confrontations .\nthe story revolves around 3 matured women , stella ( sharon cuneta ) , rhoda ( hilda koronel ) and choleng ( angel aquino ) who are in badly need of cash for their family . they would do everything , from crying to funerals to dirty work just to make both ends meet .\n\u201cladies room\u201d is a little too neat and orderly , and a little too fond of explicitly underlining its thematic points , all in that very mad men way the show can sometimes get when it seems to be so eager of making sure we understand every point it\u2019s trying to make . but that\u2019s fine . it doesn\u2019t need to be an all - time great episode of television\u2014or even as good as the pilot . it just needs to be a pretty good second episode , an episode that assures us there\u2019s a television show here , and we\u2019re in good hands all around . on that level , \u201cladies room\u201d more than succeeds , and the technique it uses to do so is one that would serve the show well going forward : mirroring .\ncharged with organizing his father ' s funeral , wilson chua ( eric quizon ) hires three professional mourners with plenty of problems and enough tears to flood manila in this heartwarming comedy . desperate for cash , stella ( sharon cuneta ) is happy to take the weeklong gig crying at the traditional chinese funeral , but the stage is set for disaster when she brings b - movie actress chua ( hilda koronel ) and the adulterous choleng ( angel aquino ) along .\nreally , that\u2019s the story of this episode : the ladies room is the one place that the show\u2019s female cast members can be recognizably themselves , but even when they step inside its comforting confines , they\u2019re not going to find someone to stop their hands from shaking , nor is someone going to undertake the very basic and human action of asking them why they\u2019re crying or if they\u2019re all right . but when they leave the confines of that space to talk to the men in their lives , those men can\u2019t help but see them as \u201cthe dessert , \u201d as peggy puts it . don goes out to dinner with betty , and he simply tells her stupid jokes , like a 12 - year - old boy , and she giggles dutifully , before he goes home and horribly betrays her trust . but when he\u2019s over at midge\u2019s , the woman he sleeps with because he seems to want something more authentic and \u201creal\u201d than whatever he\u2019s built with betty , he also treats her like his property , obviously growing upset and jealous when he wonders how she possibly got herself a tv ( on which she primarily watches people are funny , one of my favorite period details in the episode ) .\nhere\u2019s the thing about narcos season 3 : it can be a tense and exciting cat - and - mouse game that quite literally makes your heart pound . it\u2019s also a near - reboot of the pedro pascal - starring netflix series . gone is drug kingpin pablo escobar ( wagner moura ) , and in his place are escobar\u2019s former competition , the godfathers of the real - life cali cartel , led by the rodriguez brothers . if you\u2019ve noticed anything about the previous three sentences , it\u2019s filled with genius , ambitious , and powerful men \u2014 and they\u2019re all absolutely devoid of women . in narcos season 3 , when women aren\u2019t the objects of pure lust , they\u2019re either crying or screaming in a corner .\nthe third woman to appear in \u201ckingpin\u201d is the one to truly fill narcos \u2019 crying woman trope : maria salazar ( andrea londo ) . maria makes her debut as arm candy to her husband claudio salazar ( carlos camacho ) . maria is made to follow her spouse like his trusty canine companion as opposed to his actual human wife . the beautiful young woman immediately catches the eye of druglord miguel rodriguez ( francisco denis ) . when drug drama ends with the murder of claudio , miguel decides to break the news to maria , since his associates did all the killing . immediately , the newly - minted widow crumples into a basket of tears in an empty restaurant . of course , this emotional display follows an episode of a wide - eyed maria running around cali , near tears , asking if anyone has seen her husband .\nand it\u2019s here that \u201cladies room\u201d subtly tips its hand toward what the whole series is up to , because the character we\u2019re meant to mirror peggy with isn\u2019t joan or even the other young woman in the bathroom . it\u2019s don himself , her boss but also her weird shadow twin for the episode . we saw in the pilot and again here how people are able to project what they want to see on don , even though he resists that sort of thing , and now we see how the same thing happens with peggy . ostensibly , it\u2019s because she\u2019s the \u201cnew girl , \u201d and all of the guys in the office\u2014even sal , who does his very best checking a girl out impersonation\u2014want to look over the fresh meat . but there\u2019s also an element of her keeping herself at arm\u2019s length . she blushes at sex jokes , and she doesn\u2019t let all that much slip about who she actually is to paul when he regales her with stories of the office . she\u2019s staying mysterious , and that more or less sounds like the man she works for .\nbecause let me tell you , that kind of storyline is murder to dramatize in a visual medium . that \u201cladies room\u201d does as good of a job at this as it does is to be commended , even if it over - relies on visual tricks like betty\u2019s shaking hands . ( though to that end , i really like the moment when betty is driving and sees helen bishop the divorcee moving into her new home , and that triggers her hands shaking . ) whenever fans of the show complain about betty in the later seasons\u2014something i\u2019ve done many a time\u2014i want to remind them to go back and watch these episodes , to remember the way that the show introduced her and all of the things that don was doing to damage her , sometimes intentionally and sometimes just because he wouldn\u2019t have had a second thought that what he was doing could hurt her . yes , betty\u2019s storyline doesn\u2019t always intersect with the action at sterling cooper , but that\u2019s by design . this is a series about how the main character has segmented his life , and in betty , we\u2019re already seeing the most potent consequences of keeping someone who should be the love of your life out on an island , then turning to other people\u2014like midge\u2014for the things you actually want . don draper is a man obsessed with images , and this might be his norman rockwell .\nmy favorite shot of the episode involves young secretary peggy , walking into the bathroom to freshen up , another young woman crying off in the corner . the mirrors in the bathroom are situated so that we can see the woman in the mirror on the wall perpendicular to peggy , but we can\u2019t actually see her , nor can we see peggy reflected in the same mirror . instead , we see peggy looking directly into the mirror over the sink . though she casts a glance toward the other woman when she enters the room , for all intents and purposes , the two might as well be in entirely different worlds , an effect director alan taylor accomplishes through that careful segmentation using the mirrors . but he\u2019s also setting an agenda for the series\u2019 most important female character going forward : the place to look when we\u2019re looking for peggy\u2019s motivations isn\u2019t in the sorts of places we might expect , in romance plots and in stories where she comforts sad girlfriends . the other woman\u2019s problem goes unresolved . indeed , we never find out what it is . peggy is in her own little box , reflecting back at herself . when we want to know what\u2019s driving peggy , it\u2019s best not to look at the story around her but at the woman herself , who\u2019s almost as opaque at times as the main character .\nbrendan connell , jr . appointed chief operating officer of the academy museum of motion pictures\nthe academy\u2019s board of governors awards an oscar\u00ae to alejandro g . i\u00f1\u00e1rritu\u2019s \u201ccarne y arena\u201d virtual reality installation\nthe academy continues residency at the metrograph theater in new york with \u201cthe ballad of gregorio cortez\u201d and tribute to george a . romero\nacademy rescinds sound mixing nomination for greg p . russell on \u201c13 hours : the secret soldiers of benghazi\u201d\njennifer aniston , jason bateman , warren beatty , sofia boutella , matt damon , faye dunaway , michael j . fox , ryan gosling , salma hayek , taraji p . henson , dev patel , seth rogen , octavia spencer , meryl streep and vince vaughn announced as presenters\nhalle berry , jamie dornan , chris evans , gael garc\u00eda bernal , samuel l . jackson , scarlett johansson , dakota johnson , kate mckinnon , shirley maclaine , hailee steinfeld will be presenters on oscars\u00ae stage\njackie chan , anne v . coates , lynn stalmaster and frederick wiseman to receive academy\u2019s 2016 governors awards\noscar winners morgan freeman and john legend added as presenters along with j . j . abrams , sacha baron cohen and henry cavill dave grohl will give a special performance\nkathy baker , o\u2019shea jackson jr . , freida pinto and jimmy smits to perform at academy nicholl fellowships live read\nkristen bell and michael b . jordan to host academy ' s sci - tech awards\nlacma and the academy co - present a major u . s . exhibition highlighting the prolific career of mexican cinematographer gabriel figueroa\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nare you ready for skyscraper ?

yes no | report this\nwashington chua is dead , of cardiac arrest in his sleep , and his son wilson ( eric quizon ) suddenly finds himself in charge of planning a traditional chinese funeral for his father , complete with professional wailers to help ease his passage into the afterlife . according to traditional beliefs , if the deceased has many mourners openly expressing their grief at the funeral , then it is assumed that the deceased must have been a worthy person and will be welcomed into a heavenly afterlife . unfortunately in the city of manila , the number of chinese families in need of professional funeral criers is dwindling , and there are few if any left . nonetheless , wilson chua is determined to provide his father with a top - notch send off , and he seeks until he finds stella mate ( sharon cuneta ) , the last of her kind .\nstella is a woman of questionable morals and integrity , and has just been released from a year - long prison sentence , during which she lost custody of her son bong to her ex - husband guido and his new wife cecille . but at a\nrecognition day\nceremony , in which bong received a medal for academic achievement , guido agrees to allow stella to have bong for three weeks , until time for the family to transfer to the remote city of cagayan de oro for cecille ' s job .\nearly on , it is revealed that stella had been sent to prison for\nestafa\n, which is spanish for fraud or swindling , and it isn ' t long before she ' s up to her old tricks again . not a day goes by that she doesn ' t swindle the bus driver for her fare , and in one scene , also on the city bus , she poses as a labor union protester collecting donations , which go right into her own pocket . she does , however , work for an honest wage at a shop that sells chinese funeral accessories , which is where wilson chua first meets her . and although stella isn ' t technically a professional crier , her mother once was , so stella knows the trade , and wilson engages her services at 500 pesos a day for a five - day service . wilson also asks stella to recruit the services of two more criers . so stella goes in search of her two best friends , choleng , and ailing .\ncholeng is a beautiful young single woman who is having an affair with her friend myra ' s husband ipe . and each week , she goes to church to confess the same sins . as her penance , the priest who hears her confessions has assigned her to perform an act of charity . ailing doray ( hilda koronel ) , aka rhoda rivera , is a has - been film star whose only claim to fame was her appearance in a horror film called darna and the giants , in which she played a bit part as a fleeing villager who is trampled by a menacing giant . yet , so memorable was her performance that total strangers still recognize her years later .\nin the hours that stella isn ' t wailing for money , she spends every precious moment with her son bong , and even drags him along as she goes to an audition for a singing gig , to line up for a game show called cash or stash , and to the radio station to collect her 1 , 000 peso prize for correctly singing a jingle in a phone - in contest . stella spoils bong as best she can on her meager salary , and they spend their evenings at stella ' s squalid apartment , singing along with her karaoke machine .\nthingsasian is an asia travel website with stories contributed by a worldwide community . although we cover a wide range of topics , our emphasis is on art , culture , history and travel . our writers , photographers and contributors are real people who tell you the stories of their personal travels and experiences . some of the countries we currently cover are burma , cambodia , china , hong kong , indonesia , japan , laos , macau , malaysia , singapore , thailand and vietnam .\nurltoken no longer supports internet explorer 9 or earlier . please upgrade your browser .\naccording to the movie , the chinese practice of employing women to wail for the dead , once common , is on the wane , but the chua family nonetheless insists on a traditional send - off for its patriarch , a philanderer and possible gangster named washington . his son , wilson ( eric quizon ) , hires stella ( sharon cuneta ) , a sometime petty thief who has lost custody of her young son after serving a year in prison , as a crier .\nstella , a second - generation crier , recruits two of her friends : choleng ( angel aquino ) , a pious roman catholic who is nonetheless having a guilty affair with another woman ' s husband , and aling ( hilda koronel ) , a shopkeeper who clings to the fading memory of her movie career , whose high point was a bit part in a picture called ' ' darna and the giants .

we never even see a \u201cchange of heart\u201d from maria . all she does is rub miguel\u2019s gray - haired chest and assure him , \u201cit\u2019s good to be here . \u201d\nthe other woman forced to go along with the whims of whatever man is closest in proximity to her is paola salcedo ( taliana vargas ) , the long suffering wife of cali cartel security chief jorge ( matias varela ) . when we first meet paola she has tears in her eyes over the fact her husband won\u2019t leave the drug business , as they had planned , for at least six more months . the next few times we see her , paola\u2019s sad eyes stare at jorge , assuring him either she doesn\u2019t need a mansion or understands why he protects bloodthirsty criminals . at least after all the stress jorge puts paola through , ( spoiler alert ) he\u2019s the one who\u2019s sobbing at her feet by the time the season is up .\nthe only woman who isn\u2019t a teary , sad mess throughout narcos season 3 is carolina alvarez ( margarita rosa de francisco ) a journalist who is hot on the trail of the cali cartel . we never see carolina even come close to shedding a tear over the men around her . in fact , she\u2019s usually the one manipulating them into doing what she wants . when carolina is introduced , she\u2019s smart enough to try to get a police officer to spill a story over an alleged gas leak \u2014 which was actually a rodriguez scheme gone awry \u2014 by questioning whether she should smoke in the area . if the incident truly was natural , lighting up would be the most dangerous option possible . soon enough , we also see carolina working with pe\u00f1a , and she\u2019s the one asking the tough questions .\nyes , the real life story of narcos was filled to the brim with men , not women . such was life in both the drug and federal agency business during the early 1990s . if the series wants to tell a true ( ish ) - to - life story , they need to at least attempt to stay close to the actual facts of the dea\u2019s investigation of the cali cartel . but , the scenes with pe\u00f1a and carolina have a level of tension and spark to them that the interactions featuring the other , usually very sad , women are sorely lacking . i\u2019m not saying narcos needs to invent women simply for the sake of having women on camera , but would it be so hard to give the women the series does need a character trait other than \u201cneeds a tissue and a better man ?

\u201d the episode makes much of his unwillingness to talk about his past , drawing a sharp line between roger , who talks easily of his nanny as a child , and the main character . he\u2019s saving up those experiences for the novel he\u2019s planning to write someday , after all . it wouldn\u2019t be good to go around giving them away for free . don is still the teflon man , his dazzling exterior allowing nothing to get stuck , and he takes both betty\u2019s unhappiness and midge throwing a television out a window in stride . the episode might as well come equipped with a brass band marching down the street , carrying a banner reading , \u201cthis man keeps secrets from everyone he meets . \u201d\nthe other important mirror for don is betty , who\u2019s suffering through a bout of unhappiness that seems much more like depression , given how unmotivated it seems to be . ( don\u2019s idea of psychotherapy is to tell her about all of the great stuff she has , then smile winningly . it\u2019s a credit to jon hamm that this seems like a vaguely possible remedy for what ails her . ) betty explicitly asks herself\u2014and by extension us\u2014who her husband is , and when she tries to ask him questions about his childhood , he rebuffs her not a little coldly . he says that talking about childhood is like talking about politics and religion , which sounds just as bizarre as you\u2019d think it does . yet when betty goes in to see a psychiatrist and start trying to talk out just what\u2019s on her mind in the wake of the minor car accident she\u2019s in , she doesn\u2019t know that don is calling said psychiatrist to find out what his wife told the doctor . don is the man betty can never know ; at the same time , he\u2019s learning all of her most intimate secrets .\nagain , it\u2019s all a little neat , in a way that mad men will get from time to time . but it\u2019s also kind of mesmerizing . even those who\u2019ve never seen mad men will be aware that fans get frustrated with betty from time to time , because her storylines often seem to intersect with the main storyline only haphazardly . and to be sure , in this episode , it\u2019s frustrating to watch the beginning of this story and feel as if every beat of it is mapped out right in front of you . this is going to be a rough story of second wave feminism , it would seem , and it\u2019s going to feature betty\u2019s life intersecting with another betty , the author of the feminine mystique , betty friedan .\nthis is one of those places where it will be complicated for someone like me who\u2019s seen the whole show to discuss something like this , because so much of what\u2019s disappointing about this storyline in this episode hinges on the imagined storyline to come , the one we think we already know and the one that seems the most blatantly like something stolen from that terrible nbc miniseries the \u201860s . of course , mad men is still teaching us how to watch it at this point in its run , and it\u2019s much more interested in making sure we\u2019re following what it\u2019s doing with don and peggy at this point than betty . to that end , playing off well - worn tropes and types in this particular storyline isn\u2019t such a bad idea , because it keeps us more or less in tune with a story that amounts to \u201ca woman realizes she isn\u2019t as happy as she thinks she should be . \u201d\nbut what i also like\u2014even trying to view this as someone who\u2019s never seen the show before\u2014is how formless betty\u2019s depression seems , even to her . watch that scene with her in the psychiatrist\u2019s office , and the primary emotion one reads coming off of betty is disappointment . nobody wants to be depressed , but betty seems at once upset by having this settling over her and upset by how prosaic and ordinary it is . if she\u2019s going to come apart at the seams , everybody expects her to have both better symptoms and better reasons for doing so , and the number of people expecting that includes betty . january jones was the great unknown about this show heading into the second episode , since she mostly had to look pretty in the first one , but she more than manages the feat of making betty at once sympathetic and oddly unknowable . mad men \u2019s favorite trick is to reveal a character\u2019s surface , then immediately see what happens once it starts to unravel , and jones keys into that straight off .\nanother thing we\u2019re getting a glimpse at here is the way that the show uses don to ask big questions that are supposed to prompt big answers\u2014here , it\u2019s \u201cwhat do women want ? \u201d\u2014and then uses those questions both to interrogate the time period and ultimately deflect them with the sorts of easy bullshit an adman might come up with on the fly . the characters at sterling cooper don\u2019t particularly care about what a woman might want . it\u2019s more a chance to toss out some easy jokes , but when don talks about it with the rest of his creative team , he seems the most open and honest he is all episode . he\u2019s obviously talking about how he can\u2019t understand how to make betty feel happier , and it\u2019s the one place where he doesn\u2019t try to solve this problem through placating her . but when he finally comes up with what women want at midge\u2019s apartment , it\u2019s more easy ad slogans . what they want is to pull closer to their man , not anything more emotional or elaborate than that . it\u2019s manipulative bullshit , plain and simple , and it\u2019s not clear to what extent he knows that .\ni said last week that the hidden story of mad men is one of privilege , of the main characters realizing that the unassailable world of plenty they live in isn\u2019t going to last forever because other people might start to demand their own opportunities , their own pursuits of happiness . the show is already using this knowledge against us , because we live in the 21st century and understand what \u201cthe \u201860s\u201d are going to bring ( mostly opportunities for terrible nbc miniseries ) . that\u2019s part of why the betty storyline in this episode can feel a little weak ; we know what\u2019s coming for this character and don\u2019t know how closely the show is going to follow that particular story beat for beat . but watch peggy or don in this episode , or watch paul make his awkward pass at peggy , and you see another story bubbling under the surface , a story about how before women could demand equal pay or equal rights , they had to demand to be seen as people , too .\nthis episode shows us the first appearance of bertram cooper , played by robert morse , in a great bit of stunt casting ( he was the kid in how to succeed in business without really trying , which is an obvious influence on this show ) . right now , though , he mostly seems irritated by the way that roger sterling has instilled a bit of a navy attitude amongst the men , when he walks in on them forcibly spraying right guard in ken cosgrove\u2019s armpits .\nanother first appearance : the sally draper we know and love , played by kiernan shipka . the bit where she\u2019s running around in the plastic dry - cleaning bag is one of the show\u2019s biggest \u201chey , people sure were different in 1960 ! \u201d moments , but i don\u2019t mind it as much as some of the others , because the visual is so great . still , the moment when jones holds the pause between calling sally over to her and making sure she didn\u2019t mess up the dry cleaning ( instead of making her take off the bag ) leans a little too heavily on making the audience feel superior to the characters in the past .

both films are different in there own way , but the strength of the two main characters the brilliant john thaw as regan and dennis waterman as carter , and the sub plots involved , particularly in the first film , make them both great viewing . the sweeney was ground breaking tv at the time the series was aired in the mid seventies , tackling the very real subjects of police corruption in the metropolitan police and the the gritty world of the flying squad and the criminals they came up against . if you love the 70 ' s and enjoy a good realistic drama / action with some great dark humour thrown in , you will enjoy both sweeney and sweeney 2 .\nsweeney 2 is a fairly decent score . composed by tony hatch , no album was ever released for the soundtrack , but there was a single released . it had \u201cmain theme\u201d on the a side , and \u201cregan\u2019s key\u201d on the b side , and was released on 21st april 1978 . both tracks on the single differ somewhat from the versions we hear in the film .\ni\u2019m also going to start shipping this unlikely pair of laura and sweeney , though greater powers than i can figure out their catchy couple name .\nsweeney 2 was the second big screen spin off from the euston films tv series , following 1976 ' s sweeney ! which was helmed by david wickes from a ranald graham script . this time around , the director is series veteran tom clegg and the script writing duties falls to troy kennedy martin , creator of z cars and brother of the sweeney creator ian . for better or worse , this big screen sequel is much more like an extended bigger budget episode of the tv series than the first cinematic instalment was , which was essentially a hard edged bitter political thriller ; interestingly , when love ' s update was first announced it was mooted that it would be a straight remake of sweeney !

( a timely real - world issue that has dogged mike pence\u2019s own political ascendancy . ) that baggage is too much for sweeney , and he backs out of the race before it has even really begun . was this all a test by foley to see how rhoades would respond ?\nwhen asked if the material they plan to present more closely resembled the tim burton rendition of sweeney todd or the original , theatrical source material , both butcher and feken reflected that it draws strengths from both despite being \u201cit\u2019s own entity . \u201d\nwe realized that the business really needed to change its approach quite significantly ,\nsweeney said .\nwe were seeing some of the best games in the industry being built and operated as live games over time rather than big retail releases .\nin celebration of the show , pouch pies located in downtown athens launched limited edition sweeney todd pies that will continue to be sold throughout the show\u2019s runtime . these pies include \u201cmrs . lovett\u2019s signature steak pie\u201d among other meaty selections , and a veggie - version called \u201cthe one that got away . \u201d pouch will be offering discounted pie prices with proof of ticket purchase for the show , and the show will offer discounted tickets with a receipt from pouch for one of their specialty sweeney todd pies .\nthe prose is polished and full of witty observations and heart ;

( jeffrey demunn ) . much of the drama this week consists of discovering how foley will use his power next . at the start , it doesn\u2019t look good for chuck , as foley tells rhoades sr . that he\u2019ll be putting his weight behind someone else , two - term buffalo mayor bob sweeney ( the great matt servitto of the sopranos ) . chuck couldn\u2019t get foley\u2019s granddaughter the clerkship , so foley is backing another horse .\nseriously . we only had literally about five hours to shoot that . we had 10 cameras set up and we ended up using most of it with a steadicam because it kind of worked like a ballet dance . we wanted to see the journey . it took us about four or five hours to shoot it . we then came up the square , shot the robbers coming out of the bank which happens before the shootout . that was because the director and the boys around him had actually done their homework . they went there and they [ prepped ] it . we had talks and the london councils really allowed us to do it . there\u2019s no other film , other than bond , that probably would have been allowed to do what we\u2019ve done there . that says a lot for the name of the sweeney .\nbaby boomers are expected to play their part by succumbing to the looming wave of death \u2014 the greatest degeneration \u2014 and bequeathing some $ 16 trillion to their children over the next three decades . for princes and princesses of american aristocracy , these bittersweet transactions hold little suspense . but for upper - middle - class americans balancing mortgage payments , tuition bills and retirement plans on a brittle tower of monthly paychecks , this bounty looms with the promise of salvation . if you find yourself overanticipating such financial relief , take a break from the death watch to read cynthia d\u2019aprix sweeney\u2019s debut novel , \u201cthe nest , \u201d a comedy of filial greed and affection . here , in scenes both witty and tragic is a warning about what comes of waiting for . . . . to read the rest of this review , go to the washington post : urltoken\ni really enjoyed this dysfunctional family drama . siblings counting on a promised family inheritance , called\nthe nest ,\ncome unglued when it is revealed that the trust fund money has been depeleted to bail out their feckless older brother . in additional to the 4 siblings and their parents , there are interesting side characters that come into play to help reveal the true characters of the main players . while many of the main characters were weak , dishonest or just plain unlikeable , i could in some way relate to each of them . money can divide a family like nothing else and can expose and deepen fractures that lie just below the surface . i honestly had no idea how this would end , but i like how d ' aprix sweeney wrapped things up at the end . it felt right to me . if you enjoy well - written family dramas and aren ' t put off by unlikeable characters , give this one a shot - loved it !\nif i had to describe this book in one word it would be\nshallow\n. there was no depth to the characters , the plot , the problem the characters faced - just pure surface level , mind - numbing , shallow reading . i really hesitated in reading this book because the blurb didn ' t appeal to me . i wasn ' t enthused about reading about these four siblings who are just sitting waiting for their inheritance . i decided to give it a go because if the ratings - really wish i didn ' t . i didn ' t feel anything for these characters . i think sweeney made a huge mistake by having so many different povs - this took away from the main story and really did nothing for plot progression and character development . a lot of the smaller plots could have been left out to make room for the bigger stories . also , the ending was so clich\u00e9 and eye - rolling , i barely made it through . if you are looking for a shallow read , this book might help .\nleaving the docks , he makes his way to fleet street and mrs . lovett ' s shop , wherein are sold the worst pies in london . there are lodgings above , difficult to let since a nasty incident a while back : there was a nice gentlemanly barber who worked and lived there with a young daughter and a pretty little wife who attracted the attentions - poor thing - of a corrupt judge and his beadle . they had the barber unjustly transported , lured his sweet naive wife to the judge ' s house , where she was raped and her beautiful child taken from her . the barber was never seen again , the wife took poison , but the girl johanna still lives with the judge . even as she tells the tale , mrs . lovett knows to whom she speaks : sweeney todd has returned to have his revenge . she hands him the tools of his trade , carefully kept by her since the day he was convicted . my friends , murmurs todd , caressing his razors .\ni ' m your friend , too ,\nadds mrs . lovett . he takes the lodgings and sets up business as a barber .\na superb spin - off sequel from the classic television series . it was the first and only time some of the locations were filmed outside the uk , from the usual london setting to malta . john thaw appears far more world - weary and visibly greyer in this movie , a trait which continued in the final fourth television series . this is particularly noticeable with his reaction to hearing a robbery is taking place on the radio , and thaw\u2019s brilliant acting when alone in a small bathroom after witnessing a villain commit suicide , as he frantically attempts to wash off the blood and brains that were splattered over him during the incident . during this scene it appears as though jack regan is having a temporary breakdown . denholm elliot appears as a corrupt ex - officer , who asks his former subordinates to take down a gang of armed bank robbers . nigel hawthorne appears as a bureaucratic superior officer , taking the role usually played by garfield morgan in the television episodes . it was probably the most violent of the sweeney stories , and contained considerably more bad language than the first film . bizarrely , the use of the f - word doesn\u2019t appear in the film until the latter half .\nhow had they raised children who were so impractical yet still so entitled ?\nthe nest\nis a trust fund , promised as a reward whenever the youngest of the four siblings turns forty . each of the\nchildren\nexpects to receive $ 500 , 000 . that ' s a nice sum of money ; enough for a college tuition or two , or perhaps a chance to pay off some risky investments that headed south . they ' ve all been waiting , counting the days until they can relax , breathe freely and have their debts wiped away . so it ' s really too bad when most of the money goes to cover up an indiscretion by the oldest son . hey , whoever said life is fair ? while their mother insists the fund was meant to be only a\nmodest assist\nand not a true inheritance , her children are at loose ends . they were counting on that money ! now what ? will they let this tear them apart , or will losing the nest somehow bring them closer together as a family ? this was a terrific book , full of interesting , though not necessarily likable characters ; even the bit players were fascinating people . there ' s a wonderful mix of humor and pathos . it ' s hard to believe this is a first novel . here ' s hoping sweeney has a few more inside waiting to get out .\n3 + of 5 stars to the nest by cynthia d ' aprix sweeney . i was excited to read this one because it fits right in with my own choice of writing : family dramas . and it doesn ' t disappoint . the family feels very real - - a little too much drama / secrets for one family , but then again , it did keep me interested . it has something for everyone , characters to love and characters to hate . i am disappointed in one of the 4 children especially since i don ' t feel we got a good ending for this person ' s post - book life . but still , this is a good read and i will look for more by the author . i didn ' t give it a higher mark only because i felt the story for the one character was a bit unfinished and the ending didn ' t seem to be the right one for me . that said , the pacing was good . the point of view and voice were strong . i enjoyed the differences among all the siblings and characters . i would have preferred it focused on just the 4 siblings , instead of some of the people they interacted with , as it threw a few curves balls for me . plus some of the personalities were not likable . . . but that ' s when a book is good ; it makes you dislike characters . just above a good book , but not as stellar as i ' d hoped . about me for those new to me or my reviews . . . here ' s the scoop : i read a lot . i write a lot . and now i blog a lot . first the book review goes on goodreads , and then i send it on over to my wordpress blog at urltoken , where you ' ll also find tv & film reviews , the revealing and introspective 365 daily challenge and lots of blogging about places i ' ve visited all over the world . and you can find all my social media profiles to get the details on the who / what / when / where and my pictures . leave a comment and let me know what you think . vote in the poll and ratings . thanks for stopping by .\na warm , funny and acutely perceptive debut novel about four adult siblings and the fate of the shared inheritance that has shaped their choices and their lives . every family has its problems . but even among the most troubled , the plumb family stands out as spectacularly dysfunctional . years of simmering tensions finally reach a breaking point on an unseasonably cold afternoon in new york city as melody , beatrice , and jack plumb gather to confront their charismatic and reckless older brother , leo , freshly released from rehab . months earlier , an inebriated leo got behind the wheel of a car with a nineteen - year - old waitress as his passenger . the ensuing accident has endangered the plumbs joint trust fund , \u201cthe nest , \u201d which they are months away from finally receiving . meant by their deceased father to be a modest mid - life supplement , the plumb siblings have watched the nest\u2019s value soar along with the stock market and have been counting on the money to solve a number of self - inflicted problems . melody , a wife and mother in an upscale suburb , has an unwieldy mortgage and looming college tuition for her twin teenage daughters . jack , an antiques dealer , has secretly borrowed against the beach cottage he shares with his husband , walker , to keep his store open . and bea , a once - promising short - story writer , just can\u2019t seem to finish her overdue novel . can leo rescue his siblings and , by extension , the people they love ? or will everyone need to reimagine the future they\u2019ve envisioned ? brought together as never before , leo , melody , jack , and beatrice must grapple with old resentments , present - day truths , and the significant emotional and financial toll of the accident , as well as finally acknowledge the choices they have made in their own lives . this is a story about the power of family , the possibilities of friendship , the ways we depend upon one another and the ways we let one another down . in this tender , entertaining , and deftly written debut , sweeney brings a remarkable cast of characters to life to illuminate what money does to relationships , what happens to our ambitions over the course of time , and the fraught yet unbreakable ties we share with those we love .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nsecond cinematic spin -

second installment of his hit film chandrakala . titled kalavathi , this film has trisha , hansika and siddharth as the main leads and has hit the screens today . let\u2019s see how it turns out to be .\n' kalavathi ' is a case of the genre overtaking the story . in his attempt to make a horror - comedy , sundar c is too faithful to a fault ! that said , the film has its moments , especially the heart - wrenching flashback .\nsundar ` s horror comedy aranmanai was a huge hit in tamil nadu and did fairly well in telugu as chandrakala . now he comes up with a sequel to it . in tamil it was titled aranmanai 2 but in telugu makers have gone for a new name , kalavathi . sundar tries to sell this off as a new film with new premise , but nothing has changed except for few actors and the packaging .\nthe makers of kalavathi have stayed true to the genre and did not experiment much . they have played it safe and added enough elements which will entertain everyone . the film lacks novelty and also does not have any spine chilling moments . however , a decent second half filled with enough mas elements makes things work . finally , if you manage to sit through the very ordinary first half , you can easily enjoy this decent suspense thriller .\nkalavathi is a folk tale about a dispute between two goddesses , lakshmi and saraswathi . who is superior \u2014 the goddess of wealth or learning ? to find out , the two pick an illiterate and stupid farmer ( durairaj ) and begin trying their powers on him . while tilling the land , the farmer finds blocks of gold about which he knows nothing and throws them back into the field ! now , saraswathi bestows on him the knowledge to recognise gold and he begins to collect gold every day . an evil minister ( sahadevan ) who watches him throwing the gold blocks takes him to his kingdom to exploit his powers . the princess ( jayalakshmi ) falls in love with him , but the minister lusts after her . knowing his rare powers , the king makes him sit on the throne and the evil genius tries his best to exploit him . kalavathi is shocked by her lover being stupid and clever by turns ! however , the problems are solved and the couple is blessed with both riches and intelligence !\nbefore the madurai bench of madras high court dated : 19 . 10 . 2016 coram the honourable mr . justice v . bharathidasan writ petition ( md ) no

siddharth looks jaded and trapped in an arena demanding him to be more pro - active . hansika\u2019s screen presence strikes the right chord while khushboo\u2019s song appearance ( she\u2019s also produced the tamil version ) is indulgence over necessity . it\u2019s high time sundar c realises that his strength lies behind the camera . kalavathi is strictly for horror - film lovers , and underwhelms as a sequel scoring more on stereotypes and less on novelty .\nit\u2019s been more than a decade since chandramukhi that had left behind a commercially secure recipe for filmmakers to reap

there\u2019s hardly any life in the frames . the styling is neat though it\u2019s a wasted backdrop . sai karthik\u2019s background score is one of the better aspects of nayaki despite him playing to the book . widely marketed as a trisha starrer , it\u2019s sushma raj and sathyam rajesh who get meatier parts . trisha\u2019s role is similar to what hansika had to offer in kalavathi and chandrakala . the actress , beyond wearing costumes that depict old - world charm , has no bite to her role . the song \u2018bhayam\u2019 sung by her , during the credits portions comes as a minor relief . brahmanandam makes a small appearance too , but is too late to undo damage . poonam and nara rohith make interesting blink - and - a - miss appearances . it\u2019s the lack of a clear mind and a haywire screenplay that hurts nayaki more than anything else .\nt . s . durairaj , t . a . jayalakshmi , e . r . sahadevan , c . t . rajakantham , sriram , k . s . rajam , k . s . chandra and m . k . madhavan\nt . s . durairaj was a talented comedian of tamil cinema , who , however , did not receive the recognition he richly deserved . the main reason was he was a contemporary of master comedian n . s . krishnan with whom he was often teamed , the most famous film being ellis . r . dungan ' s sakunthalai . it was only after the temporary absence of nsk from the industry following the lakshmikantham murder case that durairaj came into his own in films such as meera . at first , nsk and his wife mathuram along with durairaj were cast in meera . but after the sensational case , nsk was in prison for 30 long months . with the couple dropped from the film , durairaj got to play the main comedy role in meera .\nwritten by sundara vathiyar and chidambaram natarajan , this film was directed by l . s . ramachandran , an editor - turned - director . it was produced by windsor productions at star combines studio , the first studio to be built in kodambakkam . it was situated at the present site of the kodambakkam bus terminus .\nthe music was by m . s . gnanamani . the cast included sivasuriyan , m . e . madhavan , sayeeram , m . r . santhanam and stunt raju , who were actively playing supportive roles in the bygone era .\nremembered for the interesting storyline and good performances by durairaj , jayalakshmi and sahadevan .\namma video song ( amman song ) ft . kushboo | aranmanai 2 | siddharth , trisha , hansika | hiphop tamizha\ntheri songs | chella kutti official video song | vijay , samantha | atlee | g . v . prakash kumar\nthe story of the film , as you would expect , retains the core of chandrakala . you\u2019re introduced to a haunted house in a village where a scary series of occurrences unveil the dark - past of a ghost and its need to avenge the culprits . the first hour has a reasonably haunting introductory sketch for a genre such as this , which later makes way for a yawn - inducing comedy triangle between soori , kovai sarala and poonam . the horror element is relatively controlled here , in comparison to what greets you later . despite the dollop of clich\u00e9s , you expect a better second hour . you\u2019re partially right .\napart from a nerveless flashback featuring keshav and hansika , the characters and their quirks start growing on you . the director sundar c is in better form over the actor sundar c , who also enacts the role of a detective - at - heart photographer , making the most of his comedy roots . the sequences of the family outing in a van , kovai sarala\u2019s reactions , unaware of the ghost\u2019s true identity , soori complementing it ably , work like a dream .\nhowever , this only ensures a melodramatic culmination , a loud background score making matters worse , with a thread surrounding a temple , durga idol and long - bearded swamijis giving advice in malayalam . the inherent tamil flavour\u2019s a deterrent , cinematography\u2019s a disaster at most instances - a tv soap would fare better in comparison - , there are logical loopholes all around , the music\u2019s a real farce and yet the bigger folly seems the juiceless script . if you\u2019d be forced to label anything marginally innovative here , it\u2019s the insertion of spy - cameras to catch hold of the ghost .\nwe ' ve detected that javascript is disabled in your browser . would you like to proceed to legacy twitter ?\ni

anitha ( trisha ) after knowing that his father is in last stages of his life . as soon as the couple land there , some weird things start happening in their house .\nthis is also the time when anita\u2019s bother ( sundar c ) enters the scene and takes things in control . he installs cameras all over the bungalow and records every thing whats going on . after a terrible incident involving murali\u2019s brother , everyone decides to look at the recorded footage .\none of the biggest plus points of the film is that director sundar has cleverly played it to the galleries . he has added enough comedy , thrill and intense moments which elevate the film well .\ntrisha looks gorgeous and is superb in her role . the way she has performed in the horror episodes is pretty good . while she impressed with her beauty in the first half , she gets scary during the second .\nhansika is the heart and soul of the franchise and has done her job well . even though she has limited screen space , she causes good effect to the proceedings with her emotional avatar .\nkovai sarala\u2019s comedy elevates the second half to a decent level . all her scenes with comedian suri evoke good laughs . siddharth plays his supporting role well and goes with the flow of the film . second half is a major plus as the tempo of the film raises big time .\nfirst half of the film is a huge drawback . the film has traces of chandrakala as the look , thrills and performances instantly remind you of that film . the makers could have removed at least two songs to make the film a bit breezy . there is nothing much new or interesting that is happening during the first half .\nwhat\u2019s more frustrating is that sundar c had a lot of scope to scare the audience but he did not make proper use of it . all the thrills , comedy and family emotions that are shown during the first half are routine . there are certain logics which have been overlooked and they are clearly visible .\nvisual effects of the film are pretty good and create a good impact on the audience . music by hip hop thamiza is below par as none of the songs register . background score is good during the climax but is below average for rest of the film . editing is ok and so were the dialogues . camera work is impressive as all the thrills were captured effectively .\ncoming to the director sundar c , he has done a pretty decent job . he has made sure that there is enough glamour , thrill and comedy and does not go overboard with the proceedings . had he narrated the first half with enough emotions and some interesting horror elements , the effect would have been far better .\nyou can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .\nsiddarth , hansika motwani , trisha , poonam bajwa , soori , sundar . c\nset in a village , the film begins with conveying the spiritual significance of installing a huge idol of a goddess and even as the spiritual quotient gives way to a pause , the horror element makes its entry , scaring the daylights out of the zamindar ( played by radha ravi ) . he is hospitalized and in come his son siddharth and his fiance trisha . the mysterious happenings in the palatial house confound sid and he eventually is taken into custody for a crime he did not do . enter sundar c , trisha ' s brother , at the behest of sid to crack the mystery . apparently , the family is haunted . the rest of the film is about why kala is seething with rage and how she is tamed .\na done - to - death story line yes , but it could have been evolved into an entirely different film . the flashback presents an interesting plot , a strong emotional core . it should have been siddharth getting a lion ' s share in averting the existential threat and the character of sundar could have been totally avoided . the element of brother - sister sentiment should have been leveraged fully rather than resorting to the same old formula of ' mantriks ' deployed for the sake of the climax ! that sid ' s fiance becomes an instrument could have made this an even more interesting proposition .\nnevertheless , the second half is fairly interesting . hansika motwani walks away with honours . she is very realistic in her performance for the time that she is there . the next big stars have to be kovai sarala , soori , and manobala . except for soori , the other two hold good appeal for the telugu audience . the comedy track gets meaty in the second half because it is here that the spirit is engaged with the quirky characters !\none feels greater amount of attention could have been given to the sid - trisha pairing . the chemistry is sketchy and one has to do with a half - hearted number that comes immediately after a scare show .\npoonam bajwa ' s presence is a plus and her characterization reminds one of nayanatara ' s from ' chandramukhi ' . subbu panchu ' s character is another surprise .\nsundar c ' s audience look up to him as a director who gets quirky characters on board in telling a serious - minded story . the series of spine chilling murders and scary images that torment the inmates were more imaginative in ' chandrakala ' and such elements do not go the whole hog here . with the visuals not being first - rate , one waits for a good dose of emotional coaster , only to be left in the lurch .\na huge palace , a couple of glamorous ladies , an unusual family - they are all there . as for the palace , the art work and the cinematography could have been better ; sometimes , some scenes seem to have been shot at the same place within the building ! a not - so - evil spirited mindset of chandrakala has been transformed into an unforgiving one here .\nas for the performances , most of them pass the muster , barring hansika and kovai sarala who are on a higher pedeastal . siddharth is a capable actor who is too understated to the point of coming across as deadpan . after a heart - searing flashback , all that he does is emote like a boy friend who just had a tiff with his girl friend ! trisha has some moments with the comedienne . poonam is to be watched out for . soori is no santhanam , but he is okay .\nthe technical departments could have been better . hiphop tamizha ' s music could have been less loud to suit the telugu nativity better . senthil kumar ' s cinematography passes muster , but the lighting is not flawless . the run - time is alright !\nverdict : a horror - comedy with its share of light - veined moments , a good flashback , and a fairly engaging second half .\nsome parts of this page

execution .\nnayaki is another horror comedy hitting screens this weekend but the only thing original about it is its title . it\u2019s a film by a one - film old director govi who\u2019s at a loss of ideas in executing the plot that sounds interesting on paper . despite capable actors at the helm , from trisha to ganesh venkatraman to sathyam rajesh and jayaprakash , all he gives them are poorly etched characters that can\u2019t lift an indifferent execution .\nthe film\u2019s set largely in a haunted house in a deserted area of dundigal . a series of circumstances brings a young unmarried couple , played by satyam rajesh and sushma raj , to a palatial house . here they discover unheard truths about the place , including the presence of a female ghost and her father who uncompromisingly rip apart men who cheat on women . there\u2019s a painful drag of a backstory on display , followed by a predictable climactic stretch where the ghost\u2019s quest is fulfilled , but not the viewer\u2019s .\nit isn\u2019t a hard bargain to expect more comedy than horror in such a backdrop . and , here there are opportunities aplenty to create an interesting mix . the ideas of the ghost being visible only on a camera , her mood changing every friday just because she\u2019s an aspirant heroine all sound nice . what you get though are a bunch of scenes full of over - stretched ideas .

title series , \u201cabel ferrara in the 21st century , \u201d also includes \u201cmary , \u201d an unhinged 2005 fiction about the making of a jesus movie , and \u201cchelsea on the rocks , \u201d the director\u2019s 2008 docu -

writing textbook , since each story is offset by an annotated peek into its own creation .\nthere\u2019s one more bit of crucial information . go go tales is a new york story\u2014or , more precisely , a story about a classic new york fear and emblem of failure : being forced out of new york\u2014that was filmed entirely in rome , at cinecitta . it\u2019s the first time this hometown boy , one of the great new york filmmakers , has ever had to find a stand - in for his city : a fact that , in the context of this particular film , is at once sad , apt , heroic , and redemptive . ferrara has made a movie about the price of independence that is independent to the core . the film is anything but whiny , but there\u2019s undoubtedly a righteous indignation burbling here : ray never gets any respect , and the director , you can tell , identifies .\nno ! i hope this doesn\u2019t put you off staying in hostels \u2013 or hotels for that matter ! sometimes , things can go bad , but out of the hundreds of hostels i\u2019ve stayed in , only a couple of times have i had real hostel nightmares .\nwe are interested in non -

of - competition film here , olivier assayas\u2019s underappreciated \u201cboarding gate , \u201d has the kind of intense screen presence that could bring out the fire department . actors are paid to emote and recite lines , but ms . argento bares body and soul , throwing herself into both mr . ferrara\u2019s and mr . assayas\u2019s films as if her life depended on it . maybe it does .\na moroccan called majid * got in touch with migrant tales who was deported in october despite marriage to a finnish woman . the finnish immigration service ( migri ) claims that the marriage was arranged , but he denies such a claim . he is presently awaiting a decision by the administrative court to overturn migri\u2019s decision .\nferrara\u2019s 16th feature\u2014and his second , after mary ( 2005 ) , since he decamped for rome a few years ago\u2014is his first flat - out comedy . the press book name - checks wilder , sturges , and capra , and he described it in a 2002 interview ( it took years to get this project off the ground ) as \u201c cheers meets the killing of a chinese bookie . \u201d but as you might deduce from that little exchange with behar , go go tales is also an allegory : a portrait of the artist as a hustler , a gambler , a performer , a dreamer , an addict , a throwback , a holdout , and , of course , a purveyor of good old - fashioned t & a , navigating the screw - or - be - screwed questions common to all exploitative professions , indeed to modern capitalist systems . you could say this one comes from the heart .\nthe theatrical cut of\nsouthland tales\nhas been extensively reedited - - a subplot has been excised , additional special effects shots have been inserted , a new explanatory sequence opens the movie - - and critics have been considerably kinder to it . as andrew o ' hehir put it , the recut film\ntranscends its adolescent awkwardness and approaches being magnificent .\nbut even with the changes , the film is still almost impossible to understand , a trait that probably hasn ' t helped its box office . it ' s too bad , because\nsouthland tales\nis one of the more interesting and ambitious american films in recent memory .\nagain , we ' re not entirely sure . but if\nsouthland tales\nfollows the same logic as\ndonnie darko ,\nas laid out in that film ' s dvd extras , when the fourth dimension is corrupted , it causes the creation of two parallel universes : the tangent universe and the primary universe .\ncritics have always found it easy to dismiss ferrara\u2014to chuckle at his drunken buffoonery and write off his films as scraps of underbelly anthropology . that attitude reared its head at cannes this year . despite being invited to open the quinzaine , go go tales quite predictably received a midnight slot out of competition and many viewers reacted as they had been programmed to : the hollywood reporter \u2019s reviewer proclaimed it \u201cdunderheaded\u201d ; a few high - profile critics and programmers were only too happy to announce that they walked out . even those who called it a \u201creturn to form\u201d are somewhat misstating the case . this may well be ferrara\u2019s best film in years but on the basis of the blackout ( 1997 ) , r - xmas ( 2001 ) , and mary , it isn\u2019t \u201cform\u201d so much as the american film industry that has deserted him ( the funeral was his last film to receive a proper us release , in 1996 ) .\nthe country of birth listed on tania\u2019s american passport changed four times in four successive renewals . until the first time , she believed your country of birth was a fixed point . today she knows better . go with her as she journeys through time and history looking for answers , and finding some .\nonce krysta departs , boxer receives a phone call from starla instructing him to go to the santa monica pier . boxer gets into a convertible and drives off . the baron phones simon theory ( kevin smith ) , an old bearded man , and instructs him to\nremove the body from utopia three .\nfurry tales provides an imaginative solution by drawing on the community\u2019s existing resources to connect people and services to the natural world and , therefore , each other . we have a long successful history of working closely with care homes , day care centres , gps and other nhs services , all of whom say there is a need for this service .\nsince 2006 the editors of travelers\u2019 tales have run a writing competition to find the best travel story of the year : the solas awards . over those years , thousands of stories have come across their desks , from writers famous and unknown , covering all corners of the globe with stories of adventure and discovery , love and loss , humor and absurdity , grief and joy . in this collection appear all of the top prize winners of the first ten years , stories that bring readers along for journeys that are inspiring , uplifting , and , very often , transformative . these tales are powerful , moving testaments to the richness of our world , its cultures , people , and places .\nin the hopes of helping you make sense of the movie , we ' ve decided to unravel\nsouthland tales\nas we ' ve done for\nmulholland drive ,\nthe wire\nand , of course ,\ndonnie darko .\nif you haven ' t seen the movie and don ' t want to have it - - or the graphic novels - - spoiled , you should stop reading this right now . using the graphic novels , the book of revelation , friends and whatever else we could find , we ' ve pieced together everything you need to know ( or at least everything we ' ve been able to figure out ) about\nsouthland tales .\ngo go tales begins with ray daydreaming on a couch in his office while a ballerina ties her slippers . this poetic interplay of images gives the impression that , to ray , dreams are his only medium for success . his desire , then , to win the lottery\u2014by any means possible\u2014is his way of forcing those dreams to fruition , and implicit in his deceitfulness is a need to maintain a sense of integrity while exploiting a callous capitalist system . how interesting that lilian ( miles ) , despite her repeated threats to sell the paradise to bed , bath and beyond ( do not miss miles\u2019s performance of the song \u201cbed , bath and beyond\u201d during the closing credits ! ) , is comfortable hanging out inside the paradise . she\u2019s probably blowing hot air because she understands that ray , like ferrara , is a relic , and keeping the paradise afloat is a means of preserving a lost new yorkness . ( pity that the film doesn\u2019t feel as if were actually filmed anywhere near the big apple . )\nfairy tales started as a spoken tradition and were written up by the grimm brothers and charles perrault for families \u2013 not exclusively for children . what\u2019s more , they contained predatory wolves who had to be killed , children who were abandoned and wicked , and wayward witches . jack zipes demonstrates in his study of red riding hood that often in early versions the endings of the story weren\u2019t so very happy and included our red - capped heroine sometimes defeating the wolf single handed , and in others being eaten all up . as angela carter showed us , these dark cautionary tales for young women were passed down by mothers and grandmothers for good reason . the stories functioned as warnings , life lessons about growing up as a woman .\nlatif is a great screen player . he succeeded to capture the pure emotion of a woman trying to save marriage that was arranged , not out of love . it ' s quite sad if you come to think of it . any woman would try to go out of it but not this one . wonderful screen play too !\ni probably wasn ' t the first to come up with the idea of go - jek ,\n30 - year - old mr makarim admits .\na lot of people before me have thought of it as well . it ' s just that we were the first ones to execute this on a large scale .\nmr makarim refuses to discuss the firm ' s financials , but when asked if he would sell go - jek for the right sum , he says :\nsell up ? well . . . our investors need to profit at some point from their investment , but i don ' t see a sale happening anytime soon .\ngeckos tales is for anyone and everyone who wants to learn more about the big bad world . written by a crack team of well - travelled , good humoured and good looking folks , there ' s nowhere else on the web that will better serve your wanderlust . apart from maybe that magazine called wanderlust . those guys are pretty good at what they do .\nmacdonald took out a pen and wrote a phone number down on a napkin . \u201cthis is the number for sarah clark . she\u2019s a publicist . you\u2019ll have to go through her if you want to do any interviews . but at most you\u2019ll probably just get an interview with me . \u201d he didn\u2019t look too thrilled by this possibility .\nsouthland tales\nopens on july 4 , 2005 , in abilene , texas . kids are shooting home video of their independence day barbecue . suddenly , a bright light appears through windows and a mushroom cloud rises in the distance : abilene has been nuked . we zoom out to a satellite view , revealing that another nuclear bomb has been detonated in el paso .\nif\nsouthland tales\nis a semi - straightforward reinterpretation of the book of revelation , then baron von westphalen is the antichrist , sen . bobby frost is probably his false prophet , krysta now is the whore of babylon , the two witnesses are probably boxer santaros and roland taverner , the white horse is the levitating ice cream truck , and christ is ronald and roland taverner .\nsouthland tales\nalso borrows from\nrepo man ,\nwhich ends with a flying car . singer rebekah del rio , who ( as herself ) performs the\nstar spangled banner\nonboard the mega - zeppelin , is also featured in david lynch ' s\nmulholland drive .\njericho cane is the name of arnold schwarzenegger ' s character in\nend of days .\nfairy tales are a uniquely adaptable and adapted form which continue to be renewed and transformed for new family audiences . for children today , the woods are an important imaginative realm , somewhere where the baddies can be good and goodies can be bad . we have to continue to invite our children into the fictional forests , to learn about the dangerous and wonderful world through the lens of fantasy .\nfurry tales offers a unique kind of support to hundreds of people living with dementia , varying mental and physical health conditions , hospital in - patients and those living in residential and nursing homes in east london . our grant funding runs out at the end of august 2017 , so we launched a crowfund campaign on crowdfunder on 23rd june ! our goal is to raise \u00a38 , 000 in 4 weeks !\npok\u00e9mon go shares geocaching ' s treasure hunt element , and the thrill that someone ( well , in this case an api ) has hidden something for you on a real street that you can visit . this lure has prompted apple and android users all over the world to bypass country restrictions to get access to the game before it is released in their country . (\nthe problem , however , is that i\u2019m having trouble explaining why i want to go there in the first place . i arrived here yesterday morning to discover that all the affordable lodging on long beach had been sold out . welcoming the ascetic novelty of sleeping on the beach itself , i left my backpack with a friendly restaurant manager and set off to scope things out .\nfurry tales is our innovative project that delivers animal - assisted activities to elders in tower hamlets . we are passionate about linking nature & laughter in later life . we take small , furry and feathery animals ( guinea pigs , rabbits , chickens & ferrets ) to meet isolated older adults facing disadvantage . these creatures offer comfort physically and emotionally , and bring about much conversation , reminiscence and above all , laughter .\nif ray doesn\u2019t win the lotto , he\u2019s screwed , but \u2014 in true ferrara fashion , where characters often go from bad to much worse \u2014 even when he does win ( in one of dafoe\u2019s several explosive scenes ) , he\u2019s still screwed . neither he nor jay can find the winning ticket among the stacks and stacks of tickets they\u2019ve bought and squirreled away for safe keeping .\nmarco polo didn\u2019t go there is more than just an entertaining journey into fascinating corners of the world . it is a unique window into travel writing , with each chapter containing a \u201ccommentary track\u201d\u2014humorous endnotes that reveal the ragged edges behind the experience and creation of each tale . offbeat and insightful , this book is an engrossing read for students of travel writing as well as armchair wanderers .\nthe catch , though , is you can\u2019t do it from your bed or sofa . the game maps the pok\u00e9mon onto real gps and street maps , so you have to roam around in the real world to find them . this is no candy crush on the tube , or days spent playing fifa in a darkened room . you have to \u201cgo\u201d ( get it ? ) outside .\nour routine each day was simple ; wake up with sunrise , swim , eat , read , relax , nap , go for another swim and join the small group of other travellers for dinner each night . everyone we met seemed to live by a similar beat . the island motto was to do less each day than we did on the previous , and we lived by it religiously .\nwith the internet , and going to europe , i feel like i grew up . you\u2019ve got to be like a wall street broker , especially with the internet and digital , watching that tape every minute to know how the film business is going . there\u2019s going to be a way , for the people who want to see my films , where i can go right to them with it .\nthe treer company is a german defense contractor that employs dr . inga von westphalen , a zeppelin designer and the baron ' s mother . in the\nsouthland tales\nuniverse , when war broke out following the nuclear attacks in texas , treer was contracted to build several mega - zeppelins to ferry troops and equipment across the world . kelly has said that this idea was inspired by a real u . s . army project .\ninterestingly , it\u2019s gender stereotypes that offend most cultural theorists such as henry giroux , who accuse the animated versions of fairy stories in particular of being full of outdated ideology . certainly , early disney didn\u2019t alter the blueprint of the early fairy tales \u2013 rags to riches , a happy ending , defeating the baddies \u2013 but it is far from cautious in confronting so - called adult themes such as death , jealousy and fear of responsibility .\nin the end , having the courage to leave new york\u2014once you do that , you find places . you find they want to shoot films in shanghai , korea . as long as you\u2019re making films , it doesn\u2019t matter , i don\u2019t know if you even need language . there are a lot of ways to go . but the only way is where you\u2019re working with people who respect what you\u2019re doing .\nthe book of revelation is the last book in the new testament . it foretells the end of the world and the second coming of christ ( pilot abilene keeps reading it on the soundtrack ) . kelly has said in interviews that the film was partially made in response to the rise of apocalyptic evangelism in the united states . for\nsouthland tales ,\nhe loosely adapted the plot of the book of revelation and set it in an alternate version of the present day .\nmeanwhile , watching someone play isn\u2019t far off from watching someone text in public . they walk slowly , starting and stopping , while staring obsessively at their phone . conversations are punctuated by squawks of \u201ca bulbasaur ! ! \u201d a friend ' s desire to\ngo check out that park over there\nturns a little sour when you realise it ' s rooted in the presence of a lake , and therefore the potential for snaring a water\nno , it ' s not just you . but , then again , you probably shouldn ' t try to interpret\nsouthland tales\ntoo literally . it ' s filled with so many references and so much self - conscious irony that it ' s nearly impossible to make sense of it all . and then you would miss all the jokes and stop enjoying the dance sequences . it does get easier to understand , though , if you ' ve read the book of revelation .\nthe release of into the woods has set this myth on its bewitching way once again . the film is a disney adaptation of stephen sondheim\u2019s musical intertwining of several well - known fairy tales , principally little red riding hood , jack and the beanstalk , rapunzel , and cinderella , and features more death than the typical tale , and other \u201cadult themes\u201d like adultery . predictably , its release has set the worriers worrying that disney\u2019s version will have sugar - spun the original beyond all recognition .\nferrara : there was that period in the \u201990s when all these guys sold out\u2014harvey and all that . when every studio had an independent branch , it was the wrong way to go , 100 percent . you\u2019re either going to battle them on that level or be a change on that level . you\u2019re going to say , oh right , being a part of disney is going to help independent films ? that\u2019s fucking bullshit , man . who are you kidding ?\nimagine creating your italian dream vacation with a fun - loving savvy traveler girlfriend whispering in your ear . go along with writer susan van allen on a femme - friendly ride up and down the boot , to explore this extraordinarily enchanting country where venus ( vixen goddess of love and beauty ) and the madonna ( nurturing mother of compassion ) reign side - by - side . with humor , passion , and practical details , this uniquely anecdotal guidebook will enrich your italian days .\nafter the show , the celebration continues with the harambe nights street party , filled with music , characters , and live performers , encouraging everyone to join in and \u201cgo wild ! \u201d you can enjoy an all - inclusive buffet of sophisticated and flavorful african cuisine and gourmet desserts . exclusive lion king merchandise and collectibles will be available for purchase during the event , and you\u2019ll want to stick around for a special finale to bid \u201ckwaherini\u201d to a magical evening that could only happen at disney\u2019s animal kingdom !\nbut the main thing that struck me was the half - naked guy in the middle of the floor . passed out from the night before , not a pretty sight . climbing over him , which was the only way around him , i dumped my bags and popped into the en suite bathroom . it was a similar theme , basically mess everywhere and you certainly wouldn\u2019t want to go in there to get clean ! since i was only booked for one night i couldn\u2019t be bothered to change rooms but\nin a sense , \u201cpostmodern\u201d is a confusing appellation , since the word is used in slightly different ways when describing , say , literary theory , or interior design , or tv commercials . i use the word to describe the increasing placelessness that accompanies any information - age journey . many recurring themes of the travel tales in this book ( the weird gap between expectations and reality ; the challenge of identifying \u201cauthenticity\u201d in post - traditional settings ; the realization that unexpected encounters help you better see places for what they are ) are the result of this dislocation .\nharambe nights takes place every saturday from june 7 \u2013 august 9 , 2014 , with the welcome reception starting at 7 p . m . and a 7 : 30 p . m . show time . tickets are $ 119 for adults , $ 79 for ages 3 - 9 , plus tax . tickets with premium floor seating are $ 134 for adults , $ 94 for ages 3 - 9 , plus tax . capacity is limited , so you\u2019ll want to go ahead and get your tickets by visiting urltoken or calling 407 - 939 - 1319 .\nhello tracy , i believe and shawn can correct me if i am wrong but tbd means to be determined or announced . the food and drinks are included in the price . i am attending june the 7th . i am thrilled that i saw the information about it just days after if was announced but the more expensive closer seats were already sold out in less than a week . so , book , book , book if you want to go . it is a non - refundable ticket and not inexpensive so be sure you want to attend .\nwhat follows is a hyperkinetic fox news - style summary of the following three years in the\nsouthland tales '\nalternate universe : after the nuclear attacks in texas , the united states reinstates the draft , and by october 2005 , war ( sponsored by hustler and bud light ) breaks out with iran , syria , afghanistan , north korea and iraq - - where pilot abilene , the film ' s narrator , is injured in a friendly - fire accident . a blockade in the strait of hormuz impedes the flow of oil to the united states , causing an increased demand for alternative fuel sources .\nunlike most of the longtail operators i met in ton sai , jimmy is a quiet , introspective man . when we were negotiating the trip yesterday afternoon , he nodded silently as i took out a dive - shop map of phi phi leh and told him where i wanted to go . at first i thought he couldn\u2019t speak any english , but he cut me short when i tried to use my thai phrase book on him . \u201cthree in the morning , o . k . , \u201d he\u2019d said . \u201ci know loh saman bay . \u201d i suspect he is working to support a wife and kids somewhere .\nto three girls bringing home \u201cguests\u201d , including the girl in the bunk underneath mine . as the bunk bed shook and i was completely unable to sleep despite asking everyone to go somewhere else , i just grabbed my stuff and decided it was the final thread . i complained to a staff member who gave me a full refund and i immediately left with my bags ready to explore the rest of the city ( albeit with my carry - on bag ) . i left on a bus to lisbon after discovering the fish market ready for a change . i still occasionally stay at hostels , but read the reviews carefully and avoid party hostels like the plague .\nthe film that is most obviously referenced is\nkiss me deadly ,\na 1955 film noir about a private detective who uncovers a plot to detonate a nuclear device . the movie plays in the background in several scenes , and in the\nprequel saga ,\nkrysta tells boxer it is his favorite movie . as in\nsouthland tales ,\na character in\nkiss me deadly\npicks up a stranger in the desert , and one of the main characters in the film is named after a poet . the name of dr . severin exx is a reference to the name of an evil doctor in the movie\nkiss me deadly ,\nand boxer santaros ' convertible is the same car driven by ralph meeker in the 1955 film .\naf : i grew up in the ' 60s , which was a creative time , so it wasn ' t that big of a stretch to go from a baseball bat to a guitar to a film camera . i was born in the bronx , and then my father moved us to the country at an early age . but it was a creative country . my original screenwriter , nikky st . john , and this great writer , t . c . boyle , were from this town . mel gibson was from this town . pee - wee herman was from this town . hey , how about that group ? [ laughs . ] when you ' re surrounded by people like that , you ' d better do something .\nlogistics and marketing aside , however , i came to realize that \u201cmarco polo didn\u2019t go there\u201d was not just a statement of geography : intentional or not , it was a keen observation about the postmodern reality of far - flung lands . unlike marco , my travels were not a simple journey from home to the other and back . at any given moment in southeast asia , i was likely to run into a burmese shan refugee who could quote west coast hip - hop to illustrate his plight , a laotian hmong tribesman who\u2019d recently visited his relatives in minneapolis , or a jewish - american buddhist who\u2019d slept in suburban maryland thirty - six hours earlier . whereas marco had traveled into a mysterious and frightening terra incognita , i was traveling into a globalized asia that had long since been visited by the oracle of mass media and the shock troops of mass tourism .\nferrara : we wrote the part for walken and chris never really got it . willem and i had worked together in new rose hotel ( 1998 ) . we had our differences but he\u2019s now also living in rome , and when he read it he got it . if you\u2019re gonna have a film where someone\u2019s got his name on the cuff of his shirt , that\u2019s a pretty big ego you have to play . and he got it , he did it , he sang . it\u2019s so sad he wasn\u2019t there that night , but he\u2019s shooting this movie [ paul schrader\u2019s adam resurrected ] where he\u2019s playing the head of the gestapo or a concentration camp . willem understands the idea with entertainment , that the show must go on , from a theatrical point of view , and he made it happen . we\u2019ve been trying to make this film for seven years , but we never really had the guy .\nthe fact that the information commissioner\u2019s office has launched an investigation into whether the metropolitan police service trident gangs matrix breaches the data protection act is welcome , but the dangers go beyond this . [ 1 ] the home office , local authorities and all other public sector agencies involved in the multi - agency approach to combating \u2018gang - associated activity\u2019 should , according to the irr , review procedures to ensure that they are not contributing to a form of racialised data profiling that has serious repercussions for the human rights of young people , particularly black boys and young black men . for there is evidence to suggest we are witnessing a continuation of the \u2018windrush scandal\u2019 , only , this time it is the grandchildren of the windrush generation that have been let down by the expansive scope of the \u2018hostile environment\u2019 precept , targeted now at inhabitants of certain neighbourhoods and particular estates in london and , in other areas of the uk . [ 2 ]\naf : every one is a different story . the story with the blackout is unbelievable . there ' s a big lawsuit now in an l . a . bankruptcy court about it . we made a deal with destination films that set up a distribution system . they bought two or three films , including the blackout , raised $ 100 million , and never distributed anything . five years later , they ' re trying to go bankrupt , saying all that ' s left is $ 35 , 000 out of $ 100 million , even though they never distributed one film . now , i don ' t know what ' s going on . i ' d love to show you the paperwork . i ' m getting thousands and thousands of documents . i ' m just one of a ton of people this company screwed over . can you imagine these pricks ? they ' re basically trying to steal $ 100 million . it ' s a fucking robbery ."]}

- is also the harbinger of pai ' s destiny , and the appealing castle - hughes gives a luminous , astonishingly powerful performance that won ' t leave a dry eye in the house . with its fresh take on a familiar tale , whale rider is definitely one from the heart . - - jeff shannon\nms . caro ' s attempt to fight the mawkishness inherent in the film ' s opening by setting a tone of emotional tidiness makes the rest of ' ' whale rider ' ' distinctively efficient ; this gamble makes the first section seem distended and a little drab . still , there aren ' t many filmmakers who would have fought that initial heightening of heartbreak . too flamboyant an opening would have left the movie with no place to go and embarrassed us with so early a claim on our sentiments . bear with ' ' whale rider ' ' : once the picture kicks into gear , it has the inspiring resonance of found art .\nin the whale rider , kahu is a young maori girl who wants to be the chief of her tribe , but cannot be because in her culture that role is only for men . she uses her gifts of communicating with nature to save a beached pod of whales , and because of that she is finally accepted .\nthe focus shifts to a herd of whales . the whale mothers look over their young while the single leader whale\u2014the bull whale\u2014reminisces about his own youth so long ago , and the precious time he spent with the whale rider . now , so many years after their separation , the nostalgia for their time spent together cuts away at the old bull whale . but then the story shifts to kahu . the narrator of this time period is rawiri , her uncle . when she is born , her great - grandfather expresses great disdain that she is a girl . he is looking for a suitable successor , which according to local culture ought to be passed from eldest child to eldest child . porourangi , the girl\u2019s father , is his eldest grandson so he is the successor for that generation . the problem in koro\u2019s mind , however , is that porourangi\u2019s eldest child is now kahu , who\u2014because she is female\u2014is not fit to lead according to koro .\nif a picture tells a thousand words , a movie runs at 24 pictures per second , and a 105 minute film is comprised of 151 , 200 frames , then a piece of celluloid should tell a story worthy of 151 . 2 million words . whale rider is the first movie i have ever seen that achieves this mark .\ni could gush on for much longer but there is little point . when push comes to shove , all that i need to say about whale rider is that it is the best film i have seen in a movie theater since almost famous ; moreover , the twin performances of rawiri paratene as koro and keisha castle - hughes as pai are as good as any in recent cinema . stating the obvious , whale rider is one of the best movie experiences of my life and i strongly urge you to see it as soon as you possibly can . and bring a lot of tissue paper just in case . our movie theater was niagara falls during several key moments .\n\u201cthe premiere of whale rider was an ideal way to start my visit . the film has already proved to be a superb vehicle for promoting new zealand to discerning audiences around the world . opening night in tokyo left the audience moved and impressed with the film , its story , and the new insights it gave them into new zealand .\nall of these elements are creatively combined for a very unique film in the world of cinema today . by the time whale rider arrives at a fairly unorthodox and surprisingly suspenseful ending , the viewer will be so in love with the characters that the emotional impact is almost unsettling . something this special is an absolute must - see and is recommended for the entire family .\na different herd of whales washes up on the beaches of whangara , and though most of the locals attempt to save them , the whales all perish . koro interprets this as a sign of what is happening to the maori . however , the following night the herd of whales the novel has been following arrives in whangara . the bull whale beaches himself , apparently waiting to die . kahu communicates with the bull whale , who is overjoyed at the return of the whale rider and swims back out to sea with kahu still on his back . kahu sacrifices herself so that her people may continue to thrive and decides that she will remain with the herd ; however , one of the elderly female whales convinces the bull whale to take kahu back to shore . koro realizes that he has been blind to kahu\u2019s talents and her leadership and finally tells his great - granddaughter that he loves her .\nin desperation , kahu swims out to the whale and climbs up its back after communicating with it . the whale mistakes kahu for its old master\u2014kahu\u2019s ancient ancestor , kahutia te rangi . overjoyed , the whale returns to sea and it descends back into the water with the rest of the herd and kahu in tow . kahu agrees to come with the herd in the hopes that she will thus save them and save her own people . she thinks that this will be the last time she will ever see her home and family and that accompanying the herd means losing all that she holds dear , but she sacrifices herself nonetheless and chooses to remain as the whale rider . back on the shore , koro finally realizes kahu\u2019s special status and her suitability to lead . his anguish is now doubled as he must accept that he has been so harsh to the very person he needed so badly this whole time .\nbased on the witi ihimaera children ' s novel , whale rider tells the story of maori people living in new zealand who are struggling to survive in the modern world . like many spiritual people , they are caught between the beliefs that have been passed down for many generations from their ancestors and a world which appears to offer no safe harbor to even the truest of believers .\nweaving family life , cultural tradition , and an ancient myth into a contemporary story , whale rider is a tender tale . as pai , first - time actress castle - hughes is a small but impressive warrior , perfectly balancing kid naivety with adult bravery . the traditional costumes , language , chants , and personality of the maori people come through well , while the tale is clearly a modern fiction , based on a novel by witi ihimaera . beautiful and dramatic new zealand landscapes and dreamy underwater whale photography cement the formula of the film and add to its magic .\nkoro recognizes in this event a spiritual warning to him and his people ; their test is to return this ancient whale back to sea because they are so connected to this supernatural whale herd that if it lives they live and f it dies they die . koro calls a meeting of the local maori people and impresses upon them the spiritual significance of this event . their way of life is being put to the test : they can either save the whale or fail and fall into ruin . they organize all available vehicles and manpower down on the beach and attempt all sorts of measures to get the bull whale back to sea , but the giant creature stubbornly resists and continues to wait for itself to die on the shore .\nwiti ihimaera is one of these maori writers who was born in 1944 . his work includes novels , short stories , and anthropological works . central to ihimaera\u2019s fiction is the examination of the concerns of the maori culture and the return to traditional values . therefor he sensitivly captures the particular nuances contained within maori society . in 1987 ihimaera wrote the novel the whale rider which was turned into a movie in 2003 by niki caro and opened a huge acclaim and interest to maori culture throughout the world . ihimaera himself said his novel to be a \u201ca modern retelling of a maori legend\u201d creating the central figure as a female \u201cin response to his daughter ' s complaining about the boy always being the hero\u201d [ 2 ] . the whale rider novel appears somehow like a modern tale .\nstoryline : in a new zealand village , where the maori people are descended from paikea , the whale rider , the chief\u2019s male heir automatically becomes the tribe\u2019s next leader . since the current chief has no male heir , his granddaughter , pai ( keisha castle - hughes ) , fights generations of tradition in an attempt to succeed him , an honor for which she believes she is destined .\nwhale rider is a story of the quest for the new leader of an indigenous maori tribe living on an island off the coast of new zealand . often this type of film ends up making a caricature of the people , accentuating their quaint customs and idiosyncratic behaviors and causing us to smile condescendingly at their ignorance and stunted development . whale rider does nothing of the kind . director niki caro treats her subject matter with profound respect , genuine curiosity and effortless grace , while refusing to ignore the signs of cultural disintegration . it is as if we are invited into the whangara community , and are free to observe comfortably , without fear or embellishment . the 11 - year - old first - time actor keisha castle - hughes gives the most astonishing performance by a child that i have ever witnessed , and lifts the movie from being just plain good to a profoundly moving experience . whale rider is a tale of the evolution of a culture , wrapped in humor and hope . it is a story of an indomitable spirit . it is a movie about love and change , about the grim realities of life and the marvelous miracles of faith . if you have a chance to see this film , do not miss it !\nthe stoic mysticism of niki caro ' s cool - handed charmer ' ' whale rider ' ' - - in which the young pai must overcome resistance as she tries to assume her destiny as the leader of a tribe on the new zealand coast - - is wickedly absorbing . much of the film ' s power comes from the delicate charisma of keisha castle - hughes , making her acting debut as pai .\nand also included the keisha castle - hughes screen tests that appeared on the european editions . shout !

of that shout ! licensed from sony .\nthe whales are a symbol of kahu ' s tribe : when the whales are safe , the tribe is safe . the old whale serves as a comparison to koro . when the whale accepts kahu as a leader , koro does as well . the whales also are a symbol of the relationship between man and nature . the whales are safe again once man respects nature and the ocean again .\npart i begins by refocusing on the herd of whales . the bull whale leads his herd away from their most - feared predator : mankind . the old whale remembers the days when man and animal were united and in communication , but those are long past . however , he is unable to let go , and thoughts of returning to the place of his youth at whatever cost gnaw at his heart .\nclimbs onto the largest whale ' s back and coaxes it back into the ocean , causing the other beached whales to follow , saving them all . pai nearly drowns as a result , though she ultimately survives\never since the time of the whale rider , kahu ' s tribe has been ruled by a male chief . kahu ' s great - grandfather koro is chief of the tribe , but because of his old age he is worried about who will be his heir . koro was very upset when kahu was born because she was a girl , and since then has ignored her , even though she loves him very much and wants his affection .\nin whale rider , there are no big - name stars , the director is unknown , and the story is far from being mainstream , yet it\u2019s not quirky or strange , either . the movie is a simple celebration of spirit and courage with an emotional power unlike anything since the iron giant . it celebrates cultural mores even as it deconstructs them , using impacting performances , cinematography , music and themes to draw the viewer into its singular universe .\nwhale rider\narrives in theaters already proven as one of the great audience - grabbers of recent years . it won the audience awards as the most popular film at both the toronto and sundance film festivals , played to standing ovations , left audiences in tears . i recite these facts right at the top of this review because i fear you might make a hasty judgment that you don ' t want to see a movie about a 12 - year - old maori girl who dreams of becoming the chief of her people . sounds too ethnic , uplifting and feminist , right ? the genius of the movie is the way is sidesteps all of the obvious cliches of the underlying story and makes itself fresh , observant , tough and genuinely moving . there is a vast difference between movies for 12 - year - old girls , and movies about 12 - year - old girls , and\nwhale rider\nproves it .\nthe tribe founded by paikea has always been led by the previous chief ' s firstborn son , in a line of descent stretching back to the whale rider himself . however , in the late 20th century , a daughter , paikea apirana\npai\n, is born , and the death of her mother makes her the only child in the line of succession . the story follows her as she challenges the traditions of her people and struggles for recognition and acceptance .\nwith such a character - driven story , near - perfect casting was required for whale rider to be truly moving and heartfelt . keisha castle - hughes gives the year\u2019s best acting performance as the teenager pai , infusing the character with a self - possessed composure that belies her youthful vulnerability . one of the most beautiful little girls i\u2019ve ever seen , castle - hughes is resilient and almost majestic . her quiet confidence is most impressive for a girl of her age .\nit ' s not until\nbiking home\nthat you might even recognise gerrard ' s voice in this quietly joyful mood piece . she only gives herself full , if understated , voice on the symphonic closing track\ngo forward\nwhich echoes gladiator ' s\nnow we are free\n, but with maori chanting . though there is some compelling music on whale rider , much of it sounds bereft without the accompanying images . - - john diliberto , urltoken\nthose who are familiar with lisa gerrard ' s solo career (\nthe mirror pool\n,\nduality\nand\nimmortal memory\n) and her dead can dance days will almost certainly nurse a sense of loss at hearing this most poignant of soundtracks . for a start lisa doesn ' t provide any of the vocals , and the music itself is not an epic creation in the manner of the\ngladiator\nsoundtrack . still , don ' t dismiss it on these grounds ! the music for\nwhale rider\nis just as intimate and enveloping as her previous work . shot through with a wonderful homogenity it moves through some delicious native maori chanting to haunting melodies fully evocative of an ancient relationship with the sea and the whales . those who have seen the film , which i also recommend highly , will know the vital importance of gerrard ' s music in its context , and might well be surprised by how well it transfers to a simpler auditory experience . lisa gerrard has referred to the\nwhale rider\nproject as\none of the most intimate of my artistic life . . . because it reminded me intrinsically that we live in a world full of fragile complexity .\nfragile , complex and intimate - all words which encapsulate the experience of the\nwhale rider\nsoundtrack and make it well worth purchasing , as a fan of the film or a fan of lisa gerrard .\nif you are interested in other cultures , and particularly if you are interested in the traditional attitudes to girls ' roles in society , this film is for you . the girl is the natural heir to the headship of the village , except that she is a girl . it takes a series of startling events and adventures before the village elder , her grandfather , finally realises that she really is the reincarnation of the first maori , the\nwhale rider\nof the title .\nniki caro\u2019s \u201cwhale rider\u201d had its new york premiere monday night , followed by an after party under the queensboro bridge at the magnificent guastavino restaurant , a unique , yet fitting location for the soiree . among the crowd were newmarket chief bob berney and rogers and cowan\u2019s jeanne berney . also there , the film\u2019s star keisha castle - hughes along with fellow star , cliff curtis . polynesian culture also made its way to manhattan for the occasion , with a rousing performance by the kahurangi maori dancers .\nbased on the novel by maori author witi ihimaera and adapted by director niki caro , whale rider is part saga and part fairy tale , part kids ' adventure tale and part poignant coming of age story , part , part girl power drama and part adult life lesson . it ' s all these things , as well as a rousing good time - - with beautiful beachscapes and stunning whales a - swimming imagery by cinematographer leon narbey , and yet maintains an elegant , simple - seeming narrative structure .\nbut you will have surrendered to ' ' whale rider ' ' long before then . the film shows strength by tightening the rhythms of the scenes ; be warned that the longueurs that surface in the first 10 minutes or so may make demands on your patience . ms . caro and her editor , david coulson , obviously wanted to dissipate any feeling of forced pathos that might accompany the intense tragedy experienced by pai ' s family . it ' s a welcome exercise of taste on the director ' s part .\nsynopsis in a small new zealand coastal village , maori claim descent from paikea , the whale rider . in every generation for over 1000 years , a male heir born to the chief succeeds to the title . the time is now . the chief ' s eldest son , porourangi , fathers twins - a boy and a girl . but the boy and his mother die in childbirth . the surviving girl is named pai . . . a contemporary story of love and rejection as a young girl fights to fulfil her destiny .\ni did not like this film very much . this movie seemed to force a gender issue , where there was not a real need for one . i liked the concept of the whale rider , and how the grandfather would raise the youth of the area into a whale rider . i thought the grandfather not allowing his daughter to train and practically banishing her was excessive . the grandfather was quick tempered and only wanted a grandson , so the entire movie was based around the grandfather ' s disliking of his daughter . in my opinion , this movie was too focused on the subject of the daughter not being the person that her grandfather wanted her to be , rather than it focusing on what she wanted . some people could view this movie as a break from social and gender norms , but i saw it as a girl that couldn ' t do anything to break her gender norms until she risked her life to save the whales . overall , this movie was not very enjoyable for me , mainly because of the dull plot and sub - par acting .\npaikea ' s whale performed by , vocal by ' keriana thomson ' , ' the wananga boys ' music composed by , arranged by lisa gerrard copyright owned by 4ad ltd under license from south pacific pictures ltd . \u00a9 ( p ) 2003 4ad ltd\nthe novel begins with a traditional legend of the maori tribe which tells of the arrival of man from the east , and his relationship with all the animals . in particular , this story is about paikea , the first whale rider who uses spears to create life on the island . one of his spears is cast one thousand years into the future , and is understood to give life to kahu , who will become the novel\u2019s protagonist . the narrator of the modern sections of the novel is rawiri , kahu\u2019s uncle . the maori are a tribe from a small coastal village in whangara , new zealand , who trace their lineage back to the first whale rider through male descendants . koro , the aging leader of the tribe , tries to ensure his line of succession , but when his first great - grandchild is born and she is female koro feels he must search the community for a new heir since in his mind , women cannot be tribal leaders . koro rejects kahu throughout much of the novel , and tries to preserve traditional maori culture in the face of spreading modernity .\nthe story is about a young maori girl called kahu who is the granddaughter of koro apirana , chief of a maori tribe . while koro is desperate about not having a male grandchild he starts to look for a male successor amongst his tribe , unaware that kahu has the aptitudes which a chief requires . because of his blindness and frustration koro abandons kahu . for the action the story of the whales plays an important role . the whales are strongly connected with koro\u00b4s maori tribe by his ancestor and whale rider paikea . a herd of whales which is leaded by the ancient whale which paikea rode is heading towards new zealand troubled by changes in their environment . they stranded on the beach in front of the maori village and the people tried to get the whales out to the sea again but they fail . kahu manages to lead them back to the sea by riding the ancient bull whale . koro now realizes that kahu is the true successor with the right characteristics to be a leader , regardless of age and gender and ensures the salvation of her village .\nbased on a novel by transplanted new zealander witi ihimaera , whale rider is the story of a 12 - year - old girl named pai , short for paikea , a child of the whangara tribe which habituates the maori east coast of new zealand . when pai is born , her mother and twin brother die , a tragedy that also causes a very difficult and unfortunate situation . the whangara people believe that their presence on the island results from the arrival of a single ancestor thousands of years earlier . that man , like our heroine , was named paikea and he escaped death when his canoe capsized by riding to the distant shore on the back of a whale . after this historic event , the whangara chiefs , who are considered to be the legendary figure\u2019s direct descendants , are always the first - born and always male .\nthe whale rider novel is a positive and sensitive representation of maori culture and several terms from the postcolonial theory can be determined within the novel . that is why it appears to me worth analysing this text in the context of postcolonial literary studies which is the purpose of this term paper . in chapter 1 i will give a short summary about the colonial and postcolonial history of new zealand and its postcolonial literature tradition . chapter 2 deals with the novel\u00b4s main characters and the narrative structure while chapter 3 detects the features of postcolonial theory which are embedded in the story .\nwriter - director niki coro perfectly suits the style to the story . the modest buildings in the midst of the starkly beautiful setting convey the contrast between the timeless culture of the maori and the ephemeral artifacts of the modern age . pai ' s perceptiveness and quiet persistence are always evident , but when she finally speaks from her heart , standing on stage in a school production , wearing traditional garb , she is purely luminous . whale rider is not only genuinely lyrical , but , even harder to manage , it is lyrically genuine . a must - see for families of tweens and up .\nthe next evening an even bigger event occurs , this time witnessed not by everyone but just by the small maori community within the town . during the night , rawiri , koro , kahu and nanny hear a booming sound coming from the sea , as if a great door has just opened , and then they witness a large group of huge whales emerge from the bottom of the sea . at their head is a great bull whale with an ancient sacred maori tattoo . the bull whale pulls itself onto shore and strands itself there , waiting for its death .\ntradition dictates that the first - born grandson step into the role of chief , but pai - - named paikea by her father , after the tribe ' s ancient ancestor , who legend says arrived in the village on the back of a whale - - is all the family has .\nthe epilogue narrates that the oldest mother whale notices kahu and realizes that her husband , the bull whale , has mistaken this little girl for her ancestor . she leads to him the conclusion that she is kahutia\u2019s descendent , and she is the spear he cast into the future and thus she must be returned to her people so she can bring them life - giving benefit and guide them through these troubled times . the bull whale eventually agrees and they return kahu , now unconscious , to whangara . when found by humans , kahu is brought to the hospital to recover and there she is near to nanny , who collapsed in shock after her dear great - granddaughter left with the whale her three days have passed since then and koro and rawiri have been taking care of the two of them . when nanny awakens , koro admits to her that this is entirely his fault , and that he has been stubborn and blind in the matter of kahu . later when kahu also awakens , he tells her for the first time that he loves her . then the story ends with kahu telling her dear great - grandfather that she can still hear the singing of the whales .\npart 3 begins , as usual , by focusing on the whale herd . the bull whale is leading his herd through the frozen waters of antarctica . a collapsing of the ice there and the life - threatening nature of this collapse forces him to make a snap decision in guiding his herd . he chooses to take them down the paths leading back to the seas of his youth , a decision that causes dismay among the elder mothers because they know his nostalgia for the past is clouding his present judgment . but he leads them on anyway to what they know will be their final journey .\nthere was no gladness when i was born .\nwhale rider begins with tragedy . noisy tragedy . a woman gives birth to two children , one stillborn . as her husband , porourangi ( cliff curtis ) , watches helplessly , she dies in the process , leaving him bereft , angry , and confronted by his own father , koro ( rawiri paratene ) , ready to blame the surviving child , a daughter , for the death of the male child . porourangi storms off , leaving the baby to the care of his mother , nanny flowers ( vicky haughton ) . fortunately , she knows how to handle her husband in ways that even he doesn ' t imagine .\npart ii begins with another short focus on the whale herd . they head towards a sea trench that used to provide them bounty and shelter but they find there an inhospitable and radioactive place . they are forced to travel to other havens as this long -

stations supported the coup . the media is in the focus of attention in this film : the way news was spun for the people of venezuela as well as the world press . what happens , when the revolution , indeed , is televised ?\nthe film was positively received by mainstream film critics and won several awards . reviewers cited the filmmakers\u2019 unprecedented proximity to key events and praised the film for its \u201criveting narrative\u201d ; [ 1 ] criticism focused on its lack of context and pro - ch\u00e1vez bias . first shown on television in europe and venezuela in 2003 , the revolution will not be televised later appeared at film festivals and secured a limited theatrical release on the art house circuit . independent activists held unofficial screenings , and venezuelan government officials encouraged its circulation to build support for ch\u00e1vez\u2019s administration . the film is regularly shown on venezuelan television , and in the capital it is often broadcast during \u201ccontentious political conjunctures\u201d . [ 2 ] the revolution will not be televised paints ch\u00e1vez in a favorable light , which has led to disputes over its neutrality and accuracy ; particular attention is paid to its framing of the violence of 11\u201313 april , the filmmakers\u2019 editing of the timeline , and the alleged omission of incidents and personnel . the film is variously cited as an accurate portrayal or a misrepresentation of the events of april 2002 .\nthe revolution will not be televised is a powerful film about the charismatic and controversial venezuelan president hugo chavez . it charts the attempt to overthrow him in april 2002 and provides an eyewitness account of his extraordinary return to power some forty -

wing propaganda , and not reversed until the state television was restored and the forces of the revolution recalled . this is the main strategic lesson of the film .\nproduct placement : inverted and possibly parodied , since scott -

heron\u2019s call for action , and on the eve of martin luther king day 2014 , we can be pretty sure he was right : the revolution will indeed not be televised . it will , however , be streamed . two recent examples of the role of streaming in coverage of \u201crevolutions\u201d include a digital version of occupy wall street , called occupystreams , and the coverage of the arab spring , where citizen video - journalism was often the only media outlet available .\nbut you only get one review in the new york times and los angeles times , so don ' t waste it on a one - shot screening , especially if the film will open theatrically . you will need this press for the theatrical run . be sure your film is included in festival previews and wrap -

heron ' s socially conscious and catchy vocal delivery is considered to be a predecessor of the genre , along with the last poets . especially in conscious hip hop and political rap quotes from this record have been frequently sampled up .\nwhat gives the film its real power is that the crew happened to be filming in the presidential palace when venezuela ' s oligarchs launched a coup attempt against the populist mr . chavez . if you ever wanted a primer on the interplay between u . s . foreign policy , oil and the war on terrorism , this is as good a place as any to start . the film is also known as the revolution will not be televised - - tipping a nod to poet and musician gil scott - heron ' s famous paean against the soporific qualities of television .\nwhatever the future holds , we can be sure that violent extremists will also exploit new media technology whenever it becomes available . it may not be long before an individual attacker , or a terrorist group , produces a live stream of an attack , with images broadcast from the point of view of the killer . the technology already exists . when it happens we will be forced to decide whether or not we will watch .\nmr . stone\u2019s film includes some new footage from the confrontation at the bridge , but its basic argument hews closely to that of \u201cthe revolution will not be televised , \u201d a film the ch\u00e1vez camp has endorsed . that documentary , however , has been subject to rebuttal by another , called \u201cx -

chavez propaganda . as she observes :\nthe meaning of a film is shaped not only by its composition but by who is responsible for its circulation , when and where the film is screened , and the contextual information provided to the audience .\nzoellner ' s conclusion is as relevant to understanding the perception of revolution as it is to more recent debates over major releases such as an inconvenient truth and sicko .\nsure . i think i needed to clarify that the decision to include the film and then to not include the film was very much a local decision that we didn\u2019t feel we had the capacity to properly put the film in context and properly examine and respond to the film itself . we feel that it was an error for us to consider that film based on the lack of information that we had about the circumstances of the film . so that was very much a local decision by a small group of amnesty members that are part of our planning committee .\na venezuelan tv producer and engineer , wolfgang schalk , is leading the campaign against the film . he said yesterday , in an email , that the film presented a distorted version of events . mr schalk said he had spent five months investigating the film .\ncommentators dissect the budget and predict how it will affect the next four years .\nit turns out ' network ' was more a documentary than a fictional film .\nozon ' s provocative film can do much to improve attitudes towards lgbti people .\nif stone had chopped much of the venezuela section on the cutting room floor , which in any case relies on footage from an earlier and more gripping documentary entitled the revolution will not be televised , stone would have freed up valuable time to explore diverse countries dealt with in the film . stone could have then included his interviews with south american leaders but also spoken with other less important people . sometimes , it is the random , unscripted and colorful vignettes which yield the most levity .\nall resistances are against the empire . only evil governments provoke rebellion . no matter their hold over information , striking against the authority will never be wrong . in the land of tropes , the revolution will not be vilified . it is always a force for the good , freedom , equality , freedom , justice , freedom , and democracy . and freedom .

- 1931 ' s manchurian incident - - to the end of the war in 1945 .\npartly as a result - and also because japanese devils is about as un - commercial as a film can get - few japanese will get a chance to see this documentary , which is only scheduled for screening at one theatre in tokyo in december .\nchina\u2019s war dramas about the second sino -

japanese people had served in the imperial japanese army .\n5 : this term is a pejorative term used for a japanese imperial soldier .\ndevils on the doorstep by chris dashiell the tragedy of war is a familiar subject for art - a never - ending one , it would seem . sometimes , though , the sheer stupidity of war is a more potent topic . that ' s the approach director jiang wen has taken in devils on the doorstep , a savage satire that spares no one , least of all the audience .\nthey ' ve been taught somehow that only the japanese have been so consistently inhumane .\nthe asia society spoke with matsui minoru and one of the producers of the film , oguri ken ' ichi , before their san francisco screening . translation was conducted by linda hoaglund . for more information or to purchase the video for educational institutions , go to the japanese devils website .\nthis is one of many disturbing questions raised by the award - winning documentary japanese devils , which had its first showing in japan yesterday . the film is a sledgehammer that aims to smash through a surface of public and private denial about the atrocities carried out by imperial army troops .\nthe war crimes committed by the japanese in asia have been extremely controversial both inside and outside japan . for instance , the debate about the accuracy of japanese history textbooks has angered korea and china for years . do you hope your film can be played at japanese schools ?\nthe japanese version of this was to pump your stomach full of water til it burst .\njapanese devils is a documentary featuring 14 veterans of the imperial army testifying to their brutal participation in japan ' s 15 - year war against china . director matsui minoru presents a powerful historical record of these soldiers ' individual crimes , helping to break japan ' s long silence about its wartime atrocities in china .\n\u201cyou can play whatever you like , as long as you don\u2019t play a japanese person . \u201d\nlast week , cdt chinese published the text of a decision by the state administration on radio , film and television about the 2000 movie , devils on the doorstep . the movie , directed by jiang wen , depicts the relationship between chinese villagers and a japanese prisoner during the japanese invasion of china during world war ii . the movie was nominated for the golden palm at the cannes film festival but was banned in china .\ni was captured again by the japanese near sanhe village , and sent to work at a japanese - occupied silk factory near nowadays\u2019 nanjing medicine factory . it was at this time that i witnessed more japanese atrocities first - hand . one time , after i finished transporting ten barrels of gasoline to the japanese military depot near the train station , japanese soldiers brought me to a basement . aside from large wooden boxes , the basement also contained a bed . the two japanese soldiers ripped off the bedsheet covers and indiscriminately opened fire upon it . on the bed lay four women , all dead .\nthere ' s a huge difference between ' official apologies ' made by japanese political figureheads and the way the german nation collectively acknowledges their wrongdoings in wwii . one japanese politician might make a genuine apology in attempt to reach out to those who were impacted by japanese imperial policy , then another might go on to say that all japanese wrongdoings are chinese fabrications - - none of this matters . politicians ' words don ' t represent what the average japanese feels about the topic . try talking to a german and a japanese about what went on during this time period and you ' ll notice the difference .\nour japanese foreign exchange student came home in tears over the\nlies\nbeing told at school .\nnotorious scene from \u2018anti -

japanese war .\njapanese devils may be the first time that those who committed war crimes have so freely described what they did - i don ' t recall seeing any such documentary on nazi war criminals , for example . these men are doing this because they now realize they were wrong , and they do not want anyone to forget it happened , so that hopefully it will not happen again .\nwhat was so scary about the japanese at the time was how celebrated and spontaneous it seemed . like this story .\nar : jiang had not run this black -

a literal translation of the original title\nriben guizi ,\na mandarin - language insult coined by chinese in the 1930s and ' 40s - - lies in the calm delivery of its subjects . matsui wanted to create a historical record about events that have not been elsewhere documented in the japanese language . although the men who came forward for interviews all regretted their wartime acts , matsui asked them to hold back on their emotions and relate their activities in a clear , accurate manner .\nthe eighth route army park performances are different from the \u2018divine drama\u2019 , say the actors . in the theme park , they imitate the reality as much as possible . the \u2018japanese devils\u2019 wear the right yellow uniforms , caps , white gloves and boots . the actors use fake blood and cap guns that create a loud sound and a puff of smoke when the trigger is pulled \u2013 everything to make the scenes look real .\nas a malaysian chinese , our grandparents constantly remind us of the occupation . anti - japanese sentiment still rather high in these parts\ni will never forget the violence , the atrocities and the aggression that the imperial japanese soldiers enacted during the nanjing massacre . 4\nthe issue first emerged from a series of wartime japanese - language newspaper articles , which celebrated the\nheroic\nkilling of chinese by two japanese officers , who were engaged in a competition to see who could kill the most first . [ 3 ] the issue was revived in the 1970s and sparked a larger controversy over japanese war crimes in china , and in particular the nanking massacre .\ninterviews yang lei , a 27 - year - old actor that has been playing a japanese soldier ( \u201ca japanese devil\u201d ) for over four years in the eighth route army park . during the weekends or holidays , the park has hundreds of visitors who come to watch the performance . when it is very busy , yang has to \u2018die\u2019 up to four times a day . \u201cin the past few years , i have died over a 6000 times in total , \u201d he says . the plays take about twenty minutes per show , and are focused on the events of 1943 , the year that the chinese eighth route army fought against japanese troops in wuxiang . one of the shows is about a small village in anning that is invaded and occupied by japanese troops . when a chinese spy steals secret information from their camp , the whole village is held for questioning . a chinese underground party member sacrifices his life to protect the spy\u2019s identity . just when the japanese general orders to have the entire village killed , china\u2019s eighth route army storms in and wipes out all the \u2018japanese devils\u2019 .\nfeatures the terrible story behind wwii\nunit 731\n, a japanese military base located in the puppet state of manchuria , china .\nbut that ' s only a warm - up . one army doctor experimented with biological weapons such as concentrated cholera , anthrax , and the plague on living chinese subjects . sometimes he performed vivisections ; another doctor claimed soldiers would shoot chinese prisoners and then force the doctors to try and save the victims as a form of training . the united states war crimes commission actually exonerated the doctors who spoke in japanese devils - in exchange for their research data .\ndon ' t forget the japanese secret lab where they did experiments like cutting off all your limbs and leaving your body to experiment on .\nin response to the recent critique on china\u2019s \u2018anti - japanese divine drama\u2019 , various chinese media have reported on another type of war drama : the life - like war play . in wuxiang , shanxi province , there is a theme park dedicated to the second sino - japanese war (\nthe actors greatly disapprove of \u2018divine drama\u2019 . instead of distorting history , they claim to provide an accurate representation of the second sino - japanese war .\nstay up to date with the latest and best in japanese cinema . be the first to hear about our new reviews , exclusive interviews and features .\nat that time , my cousin was only eighteen - years - old . he was taken away by the japanese troops and never returned . i personally watched as the japanese troops massacred many people . we had a neighbor , elderly ms . zhen , who was about eighty - years - old . she thought that because she was old , she could remain at home and be fine . in actuality , she was brutally murdered by the japanese , with her stomach slashed open . there was also a tea specialist , who couldn\u2019t bear leaving his home . he was also murdered by the japanese . 3\nthat was nothing but opinion . why would the behavior of the japanese toward their neighbors make students racist against asians in general or the japanese in particular ?

if they were chinese , then why are they all speaking japanese ? edit : according to my father - in - law , a native of nanjing , he lost seven of his brothers and sisters ; the youngest was pistol whipped to death in her mothers arms . his brother vividly and through a great deal of obvious pain recounted to me how his father was poisoned to death in front of him as part of a\njoke\nby japanese soldiers . edit 2 : clearly japanese men . you are saying that because they were pow ' s that there is some claim that they have been brainwashed to falsely admit to war crimes . that seems like a bit of a stretch .\nthroughout its three - month run , the theater was packed every day with young japanese who knew little about what their grandparents ' generation did during the war .\nbecause high school students . you can say this kind of stuff to those kids and some of them will come out with a tainted view on japanese people .\nstarving japanese soldiers stranded on the various pacific islands would resort to cannibalism and referred to pows as\nwhite pork\nand natives as\nblack pork\n.\nthe average american likes jews way more than the chinese too , so that has a lot to do with the willingness to give gloss over the japanese actions .\nhe has played a japanese \u2018devil soldier\u2019 for years , and is still afraid to tell his grandfather , who served in the chinese army ( sina 2015 ) .\ncurious about china\u2019s \u201canti - japanese divine drama\u201d ?

) is a wartime account of a contest between two japanese army officers during the japanese invasion of china over who could first kill 100 people with a sword . the two officers were later executed on war crimes charges for their involvement . [ 1 ] since that time , the historicity of the event has been hotly contested , often by japanese nationalists or revisionist historians seeking to invalidate the historiography of the nanking massacre . [ 2 ]\nthe most important part of the verdict relates to the portrayal of chinese villagers and japanese soldiers against the background of the second world war , or , using the chinese term , the war to resist japan . throughout , sarft takes the film to task for incorrect depictions of the nature of the chinese people . an old grandfather should not be shown as being sympathetic to a young chinese soldier , it is deemed incorrect that the villagers care for the japanese soldier and the chinese traitor ( \u6c49\u5978 hanjian ) , or that they indicate that they haven\u2019t really suffered under the occupation . when the japanese soldier imagines being attacked by the villagers , he imagines them as samurai . however , sarft feels that what he should feel most are \u201cthe armies resisting japan , such as the eighth route army or guerrilla forces\u201d . imagining villagers as samurai \u201cuglifies the chinese people\u201d . in short , in this film , the \u201ccommon chinese people\u201d do not show sufficient hatred towards the japanese , do not sufficiently differentiate between foe and friend , and display ignorance and apathy . at the same time , according to sarft , the film does not correctly display the cruelty of the japanese army but , amongst others , shows a japanese soldier giving sweets to children . also , \u201cjapanese army songs are played often , putting a spin on the japanese imperialists flaunting their strength , which may gravely hurt the feelings of the chinese people . \u201d\ni studied infectious diseases and it shocks me that events like nanking massacre and unit 731 happened . yet there are those in the japanese government who will not acknowledge these events , claim they never happened , and that they are the victims because those are mere fabrications of chinese propaganda . a japanese - born reporter for the the bbc even wrote an article on what japanese education leaves out . so new generations think that chinese people don ' t like japan for no reason at all . this vicious cycle needs to be broken by education .\njapanese troops round up chinese and russian prisoners of war and take them to a place called squadron 731 , where they are grotesquely tortured and experimented on to test new biological weapons .\na documentary recording the testimony of fourteen former japanese soldiers as they recount atrocities and war crimes committed during the second world war , including the infamous unit 731 . . . see more \u00bb\nin the war ' s closing days , when a conscience -

year - old actor : \u201cas long as you don\u2019t play a japanese person . \u201d\nnationalism , of course , was the greatest spur . these onetime fanatical japanese nationalists showed no qualms about murdering and raping if they thought it would further the cause of japan and increase the glory of the emperor .\nfrom these confessions , it is clear that the violence that occurred during the war was exceptionally brutal . one soldier , for instance , recounts that a chinese woman was eaten by japanese troops . similarly , the elaborate medical experiments that were carried out really emphasized that the chinese were not perceived as humans by the imperial army . do you think there was anything distinctive about japanese military training that could allow the violence to escalate like this ?\nlooking forward to seeing this . i know from other interviews i ' ve seen with former japanese soldiers who were in china that these guys have basically no remorse . most of them were never even punished . sad .\nheadquarters encouraged the atrocities with their various campaigns . aside from strict disposal , there was the ' three alls policy ' (\nkill all , burn all , loot all\n) and , when the u . s . began winning the war in 1942 , the ' compulsory seizure campaign ' , in which the japanese army kidnapped chinese citizens and exported them to japan to work in forced labor factories , aiding the japanese war effort .\npeople are literally saying the mass rape of germans at the end of the war is morally equivalent to the invasion and massacre of chinese people by the japanese ! jesus . . . i really lost my toucan . . .\nthe tokyo war crimes trial ( 1946 - 48 ) condemned a select group of generals , admirals and diplomats , making many japanese believe that war criminals had been justly tried and punished . during this period , the u . s . decision to exempt the japanese emperor from culpability for these war crimes lessoned the need for serious examination of individual and national responsibility . in addition , japanese citizens became more focused on the challenges of rebuilding japan after post -

japanese drama\u2019 ( \u6297\u65e5\u795e\u5267 ) by chinese netizens . these tv dramas generally depict the japanese army as extremely weak and the chinese protagonists as exceptionally strong . in these series , the chinese hero can cut a japanese soldier in half by just using one hand . the fighting scenes are exaggerated ; there is blood splattering everywhere while body parts are flying around . these series are unacceptable , according to the sapprft , because their mere goal is to entertain viewers . in doing so , they misrepresent history and disrespect the chinese soldiers who fought to defend the nation . examples of these tv series are the wondrous knight of the war of resistance against japan ( \u6297\u65e5\u5947\u4fa0 ) or the arrow in the bow ( \u526a\u5728\u5f26\u4e0a ) ( baidu 2015 ) .\nshot in black - and - white , which lends the film a stark quality , devils on the doorstep keeps upping the narrative ante until it goes over the top in violent , horrifying fashion . jiang doesn ' t soften his depiction of the chaotic , hysterical wartime mentality , when anything can happen , and the worst thing probably will . his narrative method - staccato editing rhythm , the camera constantly moving - is designed to set you on edge . the hatred of those who are different from us is one of the film ' s targets , but rather than show this willingness to hate as merely ridiculous , jiang makes a connection with the underlying fear that is an inevitable product of war and occupation , and perpetuates itself in endless cycles and reversals .\nas the only series in this list , it is set at the time of the second sino - japanese war ( 1937 - 1945 ) , and tells the story of underground communist party member song xiaqiao on a secret mission , who has to deal with spies and traitors . his love interest is played by the beautiful tong liya .\nit may be pointless to try to establish which world war two axis aggressor , germany or japan , was the more brutal to the peoples it victimised . the germans killed six million jews and 20 million russians [ i . e . soviet citizens ] ; the japanese slaughtered as many as 30 million filipinos , malays , vietnamese , cambodians , indonesians and burmese , at least 23 million of them ethnic chinese . both nations looted the countries they conquered on a monumental scale , though japan plundered more , over a longer period , than the nazis . both conquerors enslaved millions and exploited them as forced labourers\u2014and , in the case of the japanese , as [ forced ] prostitutes for front -

[ 40 ]\ni wanted to record the true nature of war and how it transformed ordinary men into weak , abnormal , and cruel characters . i wanted to record the history from the views of aggressors . we ( japanese ) were perpetrators in the war , and i wanted to pass the message to people , especially to the younger generation .\ninteresting . for a real eye opener regarding acts committed by the japanese against the chinese the rape of nan king is an excellent read . it ' s something that is never talked about here in the us , we didn ' t learn about these things in school . i only learned about it due to my interest in military history .\nafter the rape , the japanese soldier turned to me and said \u201copened path , opened path\u201d and i was released . in order to avoid the japanese soldiers coming again to hurt us , that night , the manager of the [ hutchinson international ] ferried us\u2014about eighteen maidens\u2014to the cellar of the egg beating room . those among us also included several maidens who had escaped from the suzhou prefecture of jiangsu . i hid in that cellar for several months , with the owners secretly sending me food . only after the situation was deemed \u201cpeaceful\u201d did i return to live with my mother and father . i had lived in the [ hutchinson international ] for more than a year before i had returned home .\nit ' s a cultural difference . apologies in japan are percieved to be more sincere than they are in other countries . from the japanese perspective apologizing once , let alone several dozen times , takes a lot of humility . japan ' s war apologies are sincere apologies , they have just been overshadowed by high ranking politicians that have made revisionist remarks .\nin the days and months leading up to the occupation of nanjing , foreign nationals living in the capital city played a key role in resisting the japanese assault . those who chose to remain served both as witnesses to history and as emblems of courage . minnie vautrin , one of only two foreign women who remained in nanjing , was one such individual .\nfrom my perspective it is interesting purely as a student of history . my grandfather fought the japanese in malay , india and burma . i am a regular travaler to japan . trying to re imagine the first and second hand stories ( like this documentary ) and marry that with my present day knowledge of the country and it ' s people is very difficult ."]}

' s of the world . think of this when we get to that point .\nthis video is definitly worth the money because it contains three of the best shorts from the shemp howard era . the first short , ' vagabond loafers ' , is about the stooges work as\nthe day and night plumbers\nat a fancy party and try to stop a painting theft . the second short on this video , ' pest man wins ' , is about the stooges work as exterminators who get a job by planting mice , moths , etc . at a fancy custard party . the third short , ' three dark horses ' , is about the stooges who work for a campain manager . a must have for stooge fans !\nthese particular shorts may not be as well known as other stooge comedies , even though two of these titles have familiar plots that were often used by the team . vagabond loafers has the stooges as plumbers who run afoul of art thieves in a mansion . in pest man wins they invade another mansion , this time as exterminators who bring their own pests . this one ends in a pie fight that will be recognized instantly by stooge fans ( this is shemp ' s only pie battle ) . three dark horses has a topical twist , with the stooges as delegates at a political convention . between the novelty of these seldom - seen titles and the cast ' s familiar antics , there ' s a good hour of fun here for stooge fans .\nthe three stooges has always been some of the many actors that i have loved . i love just about every one of the shorts that they have made . i love all six of the stooges ( curly , shemp , moe , larry , joe , and curly joe ) ! all of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts ! in my opinion the three stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team ! vagabond loafers is a funny three stooges short with shemp ! there is another short with alternate scenes called scheming schemers . christine mcintyre and kenneth macdonald are really neat a couple . they were also a couple in the two shorts with alternates scenes called crime on their hands and hot ice ! symona boniface , emil sitka , dudley dickerson , and herbert evans also appear in this short ! this is great short with shemp !\nbrand new in box , never been worn or tried on , in perfect condition . selling as an unwanted gift . white leather ballet shoes by ' vagabond ' shoemakers . size eu40 , uk7 . * new group dolores offers a fierce and futuristic take on the ballerina flat . the square shaped toe , the v - cut , the soft heel counter ( meaning it can double as a mule ) and the white leather upper . *\nanother prime shemp short , at least equal to a - plumbing we will go . one improvement was in starting the plumbing gags much sooner than in the curly original . the ending was also an improvement and i liked the addition to the plot of art thieves mcintyre and macdonald . however , it does have one of the worst titles . the boys are neither vagabonds ( they ' re small businessmen , not bums ) nor loafers ( they work very hard for the most part in this short - incompetence and stupidity are their vices , not laziness ) .\nvagabond edie ballerina black / white dots wedge pumps shoes uk5 ( eur38 ) used and shows signs of wear , but overall still in good condition \u2013 please refer to photos attached . pre - loved and well cared for from smoke and pet free home . please pay within 5 days from winning the auction , i am sending all my parcels using 2nd class ' signed for ' service ( this is due to previous parcels being lost ) . ask me if you have any questions . thanks for looking ! happy buying ! please check my other items .\nvagabond edie ballerina black / white dots wedge pumps shoes uk5 ( eur38 ) used and shows slight signs of wear , but overall in very good condition \u2013 please refer to photos attached . pre - loved and well cared for from smoke and pet free home . please pay within 5 days from winning the auction , i am sending all my parcels using 2nd class ' signed for ' service ( this is due to previous parcels being lost ) . ask me if you have any questions . thanks for looking ! happy buying ! please check my other items .\ni ' ll tell you what they were thinking . . . shemp is excellent and it ' s a funny story . i can ' t give any real detailed review because those chiselers at amc aren ' t playing it . ( haven ' t seen it since i was a kid ) but i do remember liking it . yes ,\na - plumbing . .\nis the best , but i like seeing christine mcintyre and the rest of the shemp - era supporting cast . they were great too and christine was one of the greatest comedic actresses of all time . plus , it has the stolen painting bit which was , in my memory , enough of a differance from the original to make it seem new within a re - make . but again , i haven ' t seen it in a long time , so maybe it ' s not as good as i remember . i love amc for playing these shorts unedited , but they ' ve got to play the majority of the rest . at least the good ones like\nscrambled brains\n,\nthey stooge to conga\n,\nhula - la - la\netc . . . and i ' d like to see\nvagabond loafers\ntoo . so i can determine , after all these years wheather this is just a lame remake or if it ' s the enjoyable short i remember . hey , it ' s got shemp in it . so in my book , it ' s got a good chance !

- look and clang ! on the head .\nalthough this is a remake of the excellent a plumbing we will go and it ' s usually a bad idea to do a remake of a classic short , this remake is still great in its own right . some of the reused gags work fine in this , although i didn ' t like seeing shemp re - do the maze of pipes routine . it just wasn ' t as funny without curly . but that ' s my only complaint about this . the painting stealers was also a nice and creative addition to the plot . this also has an excellent all - star supporting cast ( which is so big , that in the opening credits , they had to list all the supporting actors on a seperate title card as opposed under the title of the short like they usually do ! ) .\ni got this short on the merry mavericks dvd . i love this short , this is an absolute classic . i know it is a remake , but shemp does a great job in this one . it may not be as good as the original , but in my opinion it is close . this is an episode i ' ve been looking for for a while , so i am glad i got it ! recomend it to everyone , 4 pokes !\na great remake , but moe ' s temper seems to be in check , he should ' ve twisted shemp ' s nose with a wrench for making that hole ! still a great remake with an excellent plot alteration . i agree with metaldams that this had the opportunity to be a bomb , but ed bernds did a great job . . . again !

) shemp traps himself in a cage built from the water pipes , exactly like curly did in the original . never would have expected that . nor would i have expected to see the footage of the cook from the original , and larry digging in the yard , lifted whole from the earlier short film . everything moves along too quickly here , everything seems rushed to its predictable conclusion . the theft of a valuable painting has been added as a subplot to pad out the run time . mistaken identities ensue , but it all just ends up distracting and over - complicating what was originally a quite funny , simple story . emil sitka has the funniest line ,\nshort circuit , no doubt !\nmoe , to larry :\nwhat do you charge to haunt a house ?\nlarry :\nhow many rooms ?\nthe original\na plumbing we will go\nfrom 1940 is far better .\nthis short , as with a lot of the shorts made with shemp , is merely a remake or better yet retread of something that was done far better the first time . in the late forties and early fifties , columbia was trying to\nkill off\ntheir shorts department but were still contractually obligated to produce shorts with the stooges . that didn ' t mean that they were going to write new stories or gags or at least keep the production levels as high as they were previously with curly . hence why they resorted to just redoing a lot of the earlier\ncurly\nshorts now with shemp and some of these bits are funnier with curly because they were written specifically for his character and not shemp . all of this does a disservice to shemp ' s own abilities and unique comedy style . columbia was so cheap at this time that they even would just edit clips from the earlier stooge ' s shorts into these later ones with shemp . for example , the scene with the cook dealing with the crazy faucet at the sink and the stove turned into a sprinkling system is a direct edit from the original 1940\na plumbing we will go .\nthis is not a bad short but just not as good as the original .\nwhen i was watching this short one afternoon i thought that it was a very good short but it falls a bit short of being a classic cause i noticed that larry takes more of moe ' s wrath than shemp , although i ' ve only seen the edited version on the family channel , it is my understanding that shemp does get hit but only once , and there is one scene when shemp destroys the pipes and moe doesn ' t even hit him , i found that surprising and the subplot of kenneth macdonald and christine mcintyre wanting to steal an expensive painting keeps the short more exciting . although there aren ' t alot of classic moments in this short but this short overall is well done and fast paced and who cares that it ' s a remake of the classic curly short a plumbing we will go , this is a good shemp short although i prefer scheming schemers ( remake ) more than this short . 8 / 10\nurltoken check out my youtube page above , or i ' ll gouge your eyes out .\ni ' ve always felt this was one of the more overrated shemp shorts - - of course , i ' m one who believes that the curly original was not the\nmasterpiece\nthat many fans have made it out to be over the years . as far as shemp doing the\nmaze of pipes\n- - like i ' ve said elsewhere , the bit stands out as far as visuals go , but it ' s something that has never made me laugh til i cried , be it shemp or curly . i would say overall , that this is just a good short - - no big belly laughs , but a competent story and there are chuckles sprinkled throughout ; perhaps my favorite is when shemp shows a rare display of ingenuity and tells kenneth mcdonald ,\ncome and get it .\n7 out of 10 . . . .\nnow you ask me if i believe a man can become a wolf . well , if you mean can he take on the physical characteristics of an animal , no , it ' s fantastic . however , i do believe that most anything can happen to a man in his own mind .\nstill , i just can ' t see one thing shemp does here that can possibly be construed as better than curly ' s interpretation . shemp handles the gag like a comedian should handle it . curly transforms the gag . with shemp , i remember the gag , with curly , i remember the gag . . . . and curly .\nmaybe it is first impressions , but my gut is telling me that ' s only part of it .\nthere is an argument to the comparisons , however , as both shorts were written by elwood ullman . he also later brings us listen , judge , shemp remakes , and guns a poppin ! see what i am getting at here ? he just took a plumbing we will go and changed some of the scenes .\nnow as for this short : there is a bit of strangeness in shemp doing a routine designed for curly . but if one looks at shemp ' s performance as an individual , it is actually quite good . is he curly ? no way , but his performance is nevertheless still top - notch . he just applies his own facial expressions to this .\nlarry i think is a little better in this one . his expressions just seem . . . stronger . moe is , of course , always giving us his best . emil sitka is fantastic in his scenes as is symona , especially their ad - libbing . dudley dickerson also gives us a great show in what is also his final appearance in a stooge short , giving us one of his best lines :\nsorry , folks , dinner is cancelled on account o ' rain !\nunfortunately , most of dudley ' s parts are through stock footage ( that evil elwood ullman / felix adler beast ) .\nit ' s kenneth macdonald and christine mcintyre that cause me to\nonly\ngive this 9 / 10 . their performances are flat . yes , they are villains , but they are the most lifeless villains villainy could produce . no dynamics whatsoever from them . they ' re robots , to be blunt .\nnext week shall bring an interesting flavor to the party as we get dunked in the deep .\ni can understand trying to look at each short as an individual piece , but in this short , and to a much greater extent later on , it ' s not an individual piece at times , it ' s the exact same footage .\nyou ' re right , shemp ' s performance is good , and i can understand others judging it on its own . for me , i just have trouble doing it myself .\nwell , there are ways to evaluate stock footage as well , but this is to examine how it fits in to the new scenes . here , dudley dickerson ' s stock footage scenes fit into the grand scheme of things because he doesn ' t appear different in this . this is in contrast to some later shorts where things won ' t even make sense anymore because you ' ll have wrinkled 55 year olds intermingled with stock footage of them at 38 years old .\nwatching them age in general is fascinating since they were around so long , and it sometimes is noticeable in the stock footage . you ' re right though , those nine years were kind to dudley .\nand thus begin the stock footage clip - fests . my interest in them is minimal , if not nonexistent . i fade out as they fade in .\nstock footage does not become all that prevalent until 1953 . but i guess\nfade in\nis the proper term , because hints start to show earlier , but still , plenty of original material left .\ni was amazed to realize there were only 77 shemp shorts . but then i realized that it means this weekend next year we will be on creeps . there ' s a lot of shemp to go ! we have half a year until the stock footage farces !\n1 . symona boniface ' s role was much better than that of bess flowers . symona seemed to be the type whose nostrils would get full of water in a rainstorm . her getting splashed via the tv was probably the funniest moment of new footage .\nb . the stooges were victorious in this short , beating the robotic villainous\nmac\ncouple , whereas curly and company were running away from the cops at the end .\nand in both shorts , dudley dickerson ' s scenes were very humorous , regardless of sameness .\nbut i am glad someone agrees with my views on the personalities of the\nvillains .\nwhen ' s ruben amaro , jr . going to show up in these ?\ni honestly see no problem with the two mac ' s as villains here . especially mr . mac , who is underplaying the way boris karloff would at times . i admit there ' s nothing remotely comic or ironic about them , which may turn some people off in this setting , but they seem perfectly believable to me .\none point of comparison between this and a plumbing we will go is that in the earlier short , as in many of that period , the stooges are vagabonds and petty thieves , running from the police , while in this one , they have their own business , and it is a couple of members of the snoot - suit set who provide the criminality .\nthat for me is the problem . they ' re so lifeless it ' s almost like they ' re bored and don ' t really want to be there .\nactually , i always preferred garlic matzohs , but they don ' t come in the 5 - pound boxes that my wife and i get for free each year with a $ 50 purchase ( never a problem ) at the local supermarkets .\no k , i got one , and it ' s not good , but i ' ll throw it out here just to get the ball rolling : plumb crazy . i told you it was no good . i also apologize for not remembering who came up with the iceman dumbeth , and i can ' t find it . i do think i remember it was one of the big boys .\n( or so i am informed ) . i sometimes think that the studio gave no more than five minutes of thought to coming up with titles for these things . some of them make a worthwhile joke , like\nidle roomers\nand\nboobs in arms ,\nwhile others are just lame half - jokes , like this one .\nwe ' re off !

it - or - leave - it approach likely to have most audience members opting for the latter , though devotees of the immersive role - playing source material may have an entirely different experience . if so , universal will have to hope they storm the box office early and often . otherwise the studio could be looking at one of the biggest duds of the summer .\nthe orcs , a race of giant warrior beasts , flee their dying homeland of draenor through a portal to the peaceful realm of azeroth , where they wage a full - scale attack on unsuspecting humans for control of the land . orc soldier durotan ( toby kebbell , like all orc players , working in performance capture ) questions the brutal ways of his clansmen \u2014 led by warchief blackhand ( clancy brown ) and power - hungry warlock gul\u2019dan ( daniel wu ) \u2014 and believes a compromise without bloodshed is possible . his counterpart on the human side is anduin lothar ( travis fimmel of tv\u2019s \u201cvikings\u201d ) , a knight devoted to serving his benevolent king and queen ( dominic cooper and ruth negga ) .\ndurotan\u2019s fierce mate draka ( anna galvin ) delivers an adorable orc baby early on , and lothar\u2019s son callan ( burkely duffield ) is determined to impress his father on the battlefield . those family ties are duly exploited for maximum melodramatic impact , as the dual protagonists rage and question and mourn and soulfully ponder the complexity that exists on two sides of any conflict .\nditto garona ( paula patton ) , a slave claiming to be half - orc , half - human , who makes her way through the portal and finds herself torn between the two sides . she quickly gets cozy with lothar , but it\u2019s hard to take patton or the character seriously with her \u201cstar trek\u201d - alien - esque green skin and the oversized fangs jutting out from her jaw , looking like a last minute find in the halloween store bargain bin , and making her sound like she has a mouth full of magic beans .\nwith its meticulously detailed realms built out primarily on soundstages and enhanced via cgi during extensive post - production , \u201cwarcraft\u201d aims for fresh and eye - popping and yet ends up shopworn and rather tacky . it fits into a long line of visually audacious hollywood gambles : in success you wind up with a sleeper that few see coming , like \u201c300\u201d ( or , if you strike the bull\u2019s - eye , a phenomenon like \u201cavatar\u201d ) , but the ones that miss \u2014 \u201cthe spirit , \u201d \u201csky captain and the world of tomorrow , \u201d \u201csucker punch\u201d \u2014 tend to tank hard .\nboasting more than 2 , 000 visual effects shots , it\u2019s dispiriting to think about the time , energy , planning and precision that went into \u201cwarcraft\u201d when the final product brings to mind those animated advertisements for iphone app games . so good at making the most outlandish elements of his first two films seem completely credible , jones can\u2019t find a way to get this cartoony spectacle to soar . his heartfelt approach to the material only underlines the silliness .\nproduction designer gavin bocquet , costume designer mayes c . rubeo and visual effects supervisors bill westenhofer , jeff white and jason smith lead the heavy lifting on the artisans side , since what the producers essentially purchased with the source material is a collection of locations , wardrobe , weapons , and spells .\n\u201cwarcraft\u201d ends with a set - up for a sequel , but also the feeling that if this is what combat looks like , it\u2019s time to give peace a chance .\nreviewed at amc universal citywalk 19 , universal city , may 9 , 2016 . mpaa rating : pg -

for - nothing roadside romeo , but she chooses to ignore them . she is not one to be protected . it is now her time to discover life , and love . is this really the right choice ? rehan is fascinated by zooni . he truly wants her to see life as it should be seen , in its many colors - - and as he promises her , the time spent with him will be the most precious in all her life . zooni sees delhi , life and love like she never has before , because of rehan . what zooni doesn ' t know is that rehan has another side of his life that he has kept from her -

india . \u201d we are sitting in her serene bandra home far from the bustle of aram nagar . for shrikent , personally , casting came alive with rock on ! ! it was followed by a lot of significant work in the shape of life of pi , little zizou , reluctant fundamentalist , tasher desh , and student of the year . from the days of being just another chore assigned to one of the assistant directors , casting has indeed come a long way , she says .\n\u201cit is taken seriously now . it\u2019s not something that needs to be explained to people any more . it does not need to be spelt out , \u201d agrees abhimanyu ray , whose work in chak de ! india and rocket singh : salesman of the year is held to have heralded bollywood\u2019s right - casting trend .\nwhether in films or ads , casting directors are finally being acknowledged as specialists in their field , making good money , getting due credit and sometimes getting as busy as the stars , if not more . like shanoo sharma , now casting director at yashraj films . her appointment diary is booked weeks ahead . she is the name that has launched hundreds of contemporary stars\u2014from ranveer singh to parineeti chopra .\nthen you have tess joseph , who has worked on international projects such as the namesake , the darjeeling limited , the waiting city , fair game , west is west , life of pi , sold and , most recently , lion .\na short walk from macguffin is the office of one of trehan\u2019s former associates , mukesh chhabra . a queue of fledgling actors snakes outside . mukesh chhabra casting company claims to be the \u201cfirst professional , independent casting company in the industry\u201d . a delhi theatre guy , chhabra started off small with films like amal and chintuji . now , having worked on films as diverse as gangs of wasseypur , masaan , bajrangi bhaijaan and pk , he boasts of an office wall full of good luck messages signed by superstars . he has a team of 70 people , and separate departments to handle tv , ads , web series and films .\non the first floor of his office are exclusive spaces for video introductions and auditions . in the queue , the hopefuls clutch thick folders . \u201cabout 700 people walk in every day , \u201d chhabra says . doesn\u2019t it irritate him ? \u201cwe survive because of the strugglers , not the stars . they help in the growth of the industry and bollywood is beginning to understand their value . one gangs\u2026 gave so much fresh talent to the industry . \u201d\ncasting came to dahiya through acting and acting through casting . he bagged a role in chillar party while giving cues to another actor during auditions . in d - day , he was the lanky , awkward mole on a mission in pakistan . today , he runs casting ring , with fellow actors pawan singh , rajesh maurya and varun panwar , but plans to continue acting too .\nmost casting directors have bigger ambitions . \u201ci came here to become a filmmaker , \u201d says ray . like him , atul mongia , actor , scriptwriter , aspiring filmmaker , did path - breaking work in love sex aur dhokha but texts me to say he isn\u2019t in the game any longer . trehan too is busy with his debut directorial venture , starring deepika padukone and irrfan khan , and written by his mentor bhardwaj .\nyet , trehan obviously loves every minute of casting . . \u201cfor performing a moment , you need an actor but for living a moment , you need a human being , \u201d says trehan . and they seem to pull them out of the oddest places . chhabra found munni in bajrangi bhaijaan in a gurgaon mall and the young geeta phogat for dangal in kashmir . he cast baljinder kaur as the ammi in shahid 10 years after first meeting her in a hissar school . the drug dealer tashi in kaminey is tenzing nima , a tour operator in mussoorie . the drug - addict teenaged sardar balli in udta punjab came from a mobile repair shop in sion , and was one among 300 shortlisted .\nto the extent that , these days , some films may take longer to cast than shoot . dangal and gangs\u2026 , with its 384 characters , took a year to cast , pk took nine months and rajkumar hirani\u2019s forthcoming sanjay dutt biopic has taken 18 months .\npartnerships seem to work . \u201cyou have to work according to the director\u2019s vision , \u201d says dahiya . so you have jogi malang teaming with shoojit sarcar\u2014 vicky donor , madras caf\u00e9 , piku , pink . priyadarshan sends trehan a list of characters with two - line descriptions and a free hand to finalise the cast . but the hands - on dibakar banerjee will talk or skype for hours every day to zoom in on the perfect satyawati for byomkesh . he is the kind who keeps looking for better even when the best is on hand .\nlike the legendary majid majidi , with whom trehan worked for the forthcoming beyond the clouds . \u201che casts keeping the human emotions of his script in mind , \u201d says trehan .\nthe best casting is unobtrusive , so good it is not noticeable . and there aren\u2019t any schools to teach you , nor awards . ( chhabra has won a couple of special recognition trophies ; lynn stalmaster received an honorary oscar . )\nbut with casting , as with detergent , indians want \u201cachcha par sasta\u201d , as dahiya says , and the industry is unwilling to pay what good actors deserve . also , established actors are still wary of trying out - of - the - box roles ; in fact , they don\u2019t really value auditioning .\nfor ray , bollywood still has a long way to go ; the focus is still too much on the star . \u201cit is still about going to chandigarh to find a soni kudi . at some point you begin to feel like a bounty hunter , \u201d he says .\ncrime drama is one of the most popular genres on almost all tv and streaming networks these days . from sherlock to breaking bad , this genre has an almost cult following . take our quiz on crime drama shows to check your status in the cult !\nazeem banatwalla is back with jokes and observations about the perils of married life , road rage , millennials , and confused african kids .\nthis list below has a variety of actors , like ranbir kapoor and aanjjan srivastav , in it .\nif you want to answer the questions ,\nwho starred in the movie chillar party ?\nand\nwhat is the full cast list of chillar party ?\nthen this page has got you covered .\nthis cast list of who was in chillar party includes both lead and minor roles .

( 12 . 03 . 2014 )\nbut how long can a series go on before you begin to think , what did i miss ? so as i started to play yakuza 5 , i was excited to finally be experiencing the highly acclaimed series . sadly though , by the time i was a few hours in , that excitement had turned into dread as i realized little by little that yakuza 5 was just not the game for me . and here are the reasons why :\nas of the events of yakuza 0 close , majima ultimately adopts a persona loosely inspired from his enemy - turned - friend homare nishitani , adapting some of nishitani ' s mannerisms and ferocity into his own yakuza style ( which he somewhat admits in his final speech with sagawa ) and building upon the reputation he gained during his one - man raid on the tojo clan hq in 1988 - arguably the birthplace of said persona . this crazy , psychotic , violent\nmad dog of shimano\nside of him is what he becomes famous for as a yakuza , to which he embraces for the rest of his yakuza career except during times of serious high - level business . majima enjoys power , and utilizing this fear for the\nmad dog\nbecomes one his favorite tools in bending the wills of anyone below him , using regular random beatings on his own men to reinforce it .\nkiry\u016b doesn ' t have the ability to do super finishers in this game . although kiry\u016b still has his red heat , he can ' t upgrade with a third red heat bar . when the player begins as him in new game , he will have most of his abilities from yakuza 3 . the rest has to be unlocked with soul points . most the moves he had from yakuza 3 are removed such as hell ' s floor .\nhowever , in the game ' s defense , all the things i have problems with seem to be standard fair for the series at this point , which leads me to believe that fans of the series will probably find my complaints a non - issue . but for me personally , i feel no urge from here on to play a yakuza game ever again . simply put , yakuza 5 \u2014and probably the whole series\u2014 - is simply not for me .\noverall , the game is favorably received by the three yakuza playing it . while it vilifies organized crime in many parts , in the end it glorifies the yakuza and gives the protagonist just cause \u2014 it was good pr for their profession . plus , it is not wildly off the mark in depicting the modern yakuza . ironically , the sections that shirokawa seemed to enjoy the most were cut out of the us version : mahjong , the sexual massage parlor , and the hostess clubs . after i explain to him what sega cut from the us version , he said : \u00e3\u201a\u00a2\u00e3\u0192\u00a1\u00e3\u0192\u00aa\u00e3\u201a\u00ab\u00e7\u2030\u02c6\u00e3\u201a\u2019\u00e8\u00b2\u00b7\u00e3\u0081\u00a3\u00e3\u0081\u00ff\u00e5\u00a5\u00b4\u00e3\u0081\u0153\u00e3\u0081\u2039\u00e3\u201a\u008f\u00e3\u0081\u201e\u00e3\u0081\u009d\u00e3\u0081\u2020\u00e3\u0081 \u00e3\u20ac\u201a\u00e3\u201a\u00bb\u00e3\u201a\u00ac\u00ef\u00bc\u00b5\u00ef\u00bc\u00b3\u00ef\u00bc\u00a1\u00e3\u0081\u0153\u00e6\u0153\u20ac\u00e4\u00bd\u017e\u00e3\u0081 \u00e3\u0081\u00ad . ( translation : i feel sorry for the people who bought the american version . sega usa sucks . )\nthis spring , sega usa released yakuza 3 , the us version of the popular yakuza simulation / action game ryu ga gotoku 3 . the player takes on the role of kazama kiryu , a former yakuza boss and legendary enforcer . the story revolves around kiryu ' s new life as the manager of an orphanage and his return to mob life when a real estate development project in okinawa \u2014 linked to corrupt politicians , another yakuza group , and the cia \u2014 results in circumstances which force him to fight back and protect the orphanage from being torn down . he must avenge attacks on his nobler yakuza brethren and reunite his former gang . in the process , he visits hostess clubs , reads sleazy magazines in convenience stores , and kicks the ass of every street - punk and loser that crosses his path . he also spends the first part of the game taking care of cute orphan kids and cooking for them . ( rarely have schmaltz and violence been so well integrated into a console game ! ) as kiryu , the player gets to explore in depth the island of okinawa and the red - light district of tokyo , kabukicho ( renamed kamurocho for the game ) .\nmajima appears to be a fan of baseball and a proficient batter . in yakuza 4 , he fights saejima in a batting center , even referring it as\nour old playground\n. his slugger attack in 0 also emphasizes this .\nm : kiryu is the way yakuza used to be . we kept the streets clean . people liked us . we didn ' t bother ordinary citizens . we respected our bosses . now , guys like that only exist in video games .\nin osaka , three troubled young kids , kanako , atsushi and kenji , are hanging out together all the time . one day kenji who lives in an orphanage is sold to a yakuza and their friendship has . . . see full summary \u00bb\nexcept for some hamonjo \u2014 notices of expulsion of a yakuza member circulated amongst yakuza groups \u2014 taped to the wall above the couch , this could be a waiting room at the sony headquarters . there ' s a small bookshelf full of phone directories , files , manga , magazines , and dvds . ( among the comic books i notice several issues of shizukanarudon , a long running comedy series about a white collar worker employed at a women ' s underwear manufacturing company by day and transforms into a tough - as - nails yakuza boss at night . ) the only other slightly unusual detail is a semi - nude centerfold of a young japanese porn star posted on the wall , close to the door , with her signature on it .\nm : what ' s the deal with kiryu ' s scarlet red shirt ? he ' s supposed to be a former boss of the inagawakai - - and he dresses like a chinpira ( low level yakuza punk ) . he ' s a yakuza , not a host . s : except for kiryu ' s crappy shirt , it ' s realistic . the top executive yakuza are all wearing good suits . they look like businessmen . the cabaret girls have incredible outfits . the hosts in the game are dressed like hosts . somebody did his homework . k : the lady cop , her outfit is perfect too . the boring black suit with the white blazer . that ' s what a woman yakuza cop dresses like . m : except for kiryu ' s shirt , good . and his tattoo . s : not much of a tattoo . k : only on his back as far as i can tell . maybe he ran out of enough money to get it finished .\nif this case leads to more small - scale shops and companies similarly seeking advice and protection from the police , then the yakuza may face a devastating reduction in their income sources . that , in turn , may have a more worrying outcome .\nmy final turnoff for yakuza 5 is somewhat story related . the cutscenes\u2014and in - game dialogue scenes that follow\u2014are reminiscent of hideo kojima on his worst day , with many easily passing the fifteen minute mark . perhaps if i was highly invested in the story due to playing the other games ( like i am with metal gear ) , i wouldn ' t mind this so much . and in truth , all the scenes dealing with the characters ' backstories and the non - yakuza side of their lives were quite\ni just finished yakuza 0 on the weekend . just over 79 hours , and ended up with 56 % completion . i ' d thought i was spending too much time on side quests and mini games , but apparently i wasn ' t spending enough !\nhe also appears to have a sense of care for the environment . in yakuza 4 ' s 1985 flashback , he told that a yakuza should also care for the environment , in response to saejima ' s complaint about the hot weather . this can also be seen in yakuza kiwami ' s majima everywhere , where he can be found about to beat up a civilian for not putting his plastic in the recyclable bin and that it would have gone straight to the incinerator , though he doesn ' t admit it until after kiryu fights him . after said fight , majima goes on to say that\nseparatin ' your trash is a man ' s civic duty ! ya gonna be there to take responsibility when we got toxic - ass dioxins floatin ' around ? !\n.\nabove is a production still from tak sakaguchi ( sakaguchi taku ) and y\u00fbdai yamaguchi ' s yakuza weapon . the movie ' s cast includes sakaguchi and cay izumi ( izumi kai ) . yoshihiro nishimura and his nishimura eizo co . ltd .

on and virtua fighter 2 are featured in the series as minigames .\nmy time with yakuza 6 was equally enjoyable . there was a jump in technical quality even over the recent yakuza 0 that brought a lot of glitz and glamour to the red light district of kamurocho . seamless transitions from fighting to quests to exploring interior locations made the game world feel more alive . there was still plenty of silliness around ; the first side quest i encountered was to help find a rogue roomba in the streets , and i spent an extended time training in a gym before getting meals , sending the pictures back to my trainer for his approval . every character was voiced , and it really felt like i was spending time with all sorts of people in a busy city . damned if it didn ' t take forever to find that roomba in those bustling streets .\nnow , kiryu is 38 years old when the fifth chairman of the tojo clan , yukio terada , is assassinated on december 15 , 2006 . kazuma kiry\u016b wants sohei dojima ' s son , daigo , to take the clan ' s leadership and prevent an upcoming yakuza families war between tojo clan of the kanto region and omi alliance of the kansai region , which was terada ' s wish .\nwhile debatably good at heart , majima ' s not quite as saintly as kiryu as he doesn ' t feel compelled to save everyone all the time , but he generally makes a point of saving the innocent from offenders , particularly the young and the weak . he takes the title of yakuza very seriously , and has little qualm with beating those who risk taking the mantle regardless of their ability .\nafter the events of yakuza 5 in december 2012 , 44 - year old kiryu is brought to the hospital after being severely injured when his wound opens up while fighting and then defeating aizawa . kiryu was found almost unconscious by haruka who bought him to the hospital and the police showed up to arrested kiryu for assault on yakuza in kamurocho . but , kiryu accepts the fate of being arrested after he woke up in the hospital because he wants to become a new man and wants to live peacefully with the children in okinawa after he returns from prison 4 years later . in june 2013 , now 45 - years old , he is in prison for the crimes he committed in the past and haruka came to talk to kiryu about the situation in the orphanage . after that , kiryu was released from prison in 2016 .\nkick your ass . but in kiryu ' s section of the game , he is just an ordinary cab driver who is constantly ambushed by yakuza , hosts , and various street gangs . it ' s one thing when you need cash or to level up , but when you are just trying to walk from the cab company to the arcade and you get attacked five times on the way , it feels more than a bit annoying .\nkiryu ' s canonical style throughout yakuza 0 . a basic yet powerful style relying on simple brawling , hence the name . fighting is somewhat flashy in execution and slow , especially in comparison to majima , but his blows are powerful . its simplicity represents kiryu ' s status as a mere yakuza underling and debt collector , shown by the very amateur handling of his body weight in his attacks . despite this , kiryu ' s impressive physical ability proves itself whenever he takes on groups of foes by himself and coming out with only slightly ragged breath . many attacks in brawler style have a wrestling - like quality to them , which combined with his basic street brawling , complete the style with simple yet effective moves . this style , from the progression of its combos , to its stance , can be viewed as an unrefined , prototypical version of kiryu ' s dragon style .\nplaying yakuza 5 became less and less fun the more i played it , but even then there were some things i really liked . the over - the - top action scenes , street races , and several of the different mini - games gave me a laugh at least and were generally pretty fun . but sadly , actually doing what i was supposed to do to move the plot forward was aggravating and felt like a waste of time .\ns : nobody ever dies . it ' s unrealistic . k : kiryu is fighting all the time . he ' s gotta be a fucking idiot . no yakuza is going to run around getting into fistfights like that . especially not an executive type . he ' ll wind up in jail or in the hospital or dead , maybe even whacked by his own people for being a troublemaker . these days , he ' d probably get kicked out before even going to jail . guys like that start gang wars and nobody wants that now . when a yakuza gets into a fight , it ' s serious business . m : a real fight - - it ' s short and it ' s brutal . over in a minute . nobody goes around trading blows and crap like that . usually the first guy to punch wins . k : i like that you can grab things like ashtrays or billboards and beat the crap out of the punks bothering you . or smash their faces into car windows . that ' s what you ' d really do in a fight , grab something and use it as a weapon . s : why doesn ' t he just shoot them ? k : that would be unrealistic . nobody is going to waste a bullet on some street punk , like the ones that keep bugging kiyru . m : if they wanted to make it realistic , he ' d pull out a gun and shoot it and miss ! or the damn thing wouldn ' t fire . that would be realistic . ( they all laugh ) . k : shooting people sends a message . m : so does shooting anything . shooting people gets you sent to jail . k : that ' s part of the job description .\ni enlist the aid of a teenager to show the yaks how to actually play a videogame . even then , it ' s tough going . of the three reviewers , only kuroishi manages to play it all the way to the end . two of the three are missing their pinkies \u2014 in the old days , when a yakuza or his subordinates screwed up , they chopped off pinkies as an act of atonement \u2014 and this seems to affect their gameplay ."]}

there was that much talent and resources , in - front - of - and behind - the - camera ? impressive .\nso according to me these are some of the points that bollywood should take note of it . if bollywood wants to stay ahead than other than they should adopt advance thinking than the old one . only than the bollywood be as equal to hollywood .\nwhile dance films are about beats , both in music and choreography ,\nheartbeats\nis filled with more than just that \u2014 it ' s also a story that spans the globe .\nperformed by bollywood beats ' awesome students : arissa , aryan , joanna , arzoo , hannah mukhi , maria , linnea , hannah damji , alizaay , shaan , saima , iman , pasidu , sai , imaan , melba , anahat , sarah , anna , . . .\nso yes , bollywood won ' t beat hollywood soon . bollywood lacks the originality required for film making . it is more glamour focused rather than focusing on film making .\nlet ' s leave hollywood aside for a while and let ' s compare bollywood and tollywood .\neveryone dreams of working in bollywood . my satisfaction is that the entire country will hear an assamese song by the virtue of it being used in a bollywood movie ,\nhe said .\nbollywood movies cater mostly to indians , pakistanis , nepali , and bangaldeshi markets where hindi is understood .\nfilm critic arun lochan das also said that he has never heard of an assamese song being used in a bollywood movie before although the music of assamese songs has been used in bollywood on several occasions .\nbollywood beats is a movie starring sachin bhatt , lillete dubey , and pooja kumar . raj is a down - on - his - luck dancer who is fighting to hold his life together . after starting up a dance class , he finds new hope with his students but soon must choose between them and a chance of a lifetime .\nbollywood dancing : the commercial name for modern indian dance . bollywood dance is eclectic in nature as it draws on classical indian forms of dance as well as western genres like jazz , hip hop , and contemporary .\nhindi \u2013 the most widely spoken language of india . bollywood films and song are all done in hindi .\nthe 5 highest grossing bollywood movies of 2015 together raked in inr 2400 crore ( $ 300 million ) .\ni guess you people get the message i am trying to convey , its seems highly unlikely not for bollywood to beat hollywood , but for bollywood to reach the starting line from where hollywood once started \u2026 . .\naishwarya rai bachchan attends the ' 120 beats per minute ( 120 battements par minute ) ' screening during the 70th annual cannes film festival at palais des festivals on may 20 , 2017 in cannes , france .

speaking subset of indian cinema . the industry\u2019s bright colors , catchy songs , riveting dance numbers , and feel - good love stories have captured the hearts of many around the world .\ncan bollywood beat hollywood ? you guys decide : we make movies ; they make stylish movies . we have stars , they have mega stars . we have bollywood , tollywood , lollywood , they have hollywood . these are the things that differentiate\nthreebee dancers are known for their contagious energy they leave behind after the performances . with the only bollywood dance company to have several male dancers , the company does justice to dance routines by truly capturing the essence of bollywood : love & romance .\nfor no real reason except to spin off the sampler offered in the climactic competition , shah tags on an ending medley that\u2019s a wry history of bollywood dance , and you can see how , over the years , indians have very knowingly melded their own conventions with american movies , music and fashions \u2014 including \u201960s mini - skirts and beatles - era psychedelia , saturday night fever disco and purple rain - era prince . it\u2019s the chief reason to see bollywood beats . unfettered by plot or character or earnest social issues , it\u2019s just fun .\nthis bollywood looks more like a town in which entry of a newcomer from a non - bollywood background is so hard ! i am always thinking how people could be this much stupid that even after watching the trailer they go to theatres and waste their money . oh ! come on tell me when was the last time did you watch any bollywood movie that seriously striked your mind ?\nyes the day will come . if filmmakers will give a chance to talented people by forgetting their looks . bollywood needs some risk ability to make different kind of movies . but bollywood had made some kind of different movies which are awesome than hollywood movies : -\nturns out i had to shift my expectations somewhat . bollywood beats was indeed shot in plano ( standing in for la ) , and writer - director mehul shah is an smu grad . but post - production was all done in delhi , and the principal actors are out - of - town pros ( actress - co - producer mansi patel , lilette dubey of monsoon wedding , former miss india usa pooja kumar ) .\nyes bollywood can beat hollywood , but the strategy and time to do that is with the bollywood filmmakers . if you have played a strategy based video game called \u201ccivilization\u201d you will understand that victory is not only through one way . for example the game could be won by either waging war or diplomacy same way bollywood cannot beat hollywood when it comes to budget at any time unless most of the production companies go bankrupt and in terms of vfx , pre - production , marketing and global market , bollywood loses by a big margin .\nto conclude i would like to emphasize that the only way bollywood could beat hollywood is through making content driven and technically superior movies .\ni don\u2019t understand why the comparison is always made with bollywood . in this article , i am gonna compare the indian movies . as a matter of fact , i watch hollywood , kollywood , tollywood , mollywood , sandalwood , . . along with bollywood movies too .\nbollywood dance is a special form of dance and it plays a significant role in indian movies . bollywood movies are well known for their traditional and colorful costumes and beautiful dance sequences . bollywood songs are designed to take the movies forward ; it is all about storytelling through meaningful lyrics , facial expressions and body movements . bollywood dance moves and routines have mesmerized millions all over the world . bollywood dance is taking australia by storm and with recent international success of a famous song jai ho it is becoming evident that the world is embracing this form of dance . bollywood dance is a fusion of various dance forms , like indian classical , folk dance , disco , bhangra , and sometimes even western dance movements . it\u2019s a beautiful and vibrant cocktail of dances . it allows you to escape in the fantasy land .\nthe term \u2018bollywood\u2019 comes from the combination of the names of bombay ( now known as mumbai ) and hollywood . the bollywood film industry , based in mumbai , is the largest film industry in the world in terms of ticket sales and the amount of films made per year .\nthe audience : the audience for the both the genres are completely different , hollywood movies have an international appeal because their audience are international . bollywood barely has a national appeal . majority of the south india is divided into kollywood , tollywood etc and do not watch bollywood movies .\nalso , the budget of hollywood movies is enormous as compared to bollywood movies which allows them to build bigger sets and have better locations .\nbollywood beats is the new film written and directed by mehul shah . raj ( sachin bhatt ) is a down on his luck dancer fighting to hold his life together , but a chance encounter with jyoti ( lilette dubey ) changes his life forever . through his students laxmi ( pooja kumar ) , vina ( sarita joshi ) , puja ( mansi patel ) & vincent ( mehul shah ) , raj finds acceptance and family where he never thought to look .\nbollywood fusion by our crew at the royal alberta museum theater . performed by - sushant kulkarni , alisha shivji , anusha lalani and sheena parabtani .\nbollywood dance and cardio fitness for adults and kids . group classes , private lessons , troupe performances , bachelorette , birthday party , weddings etc .\nthirdly , it is not that bollywood does not have good directors . but the problem is that they don ' t get funds , they get there asses kicked by censor board , they don ' t get the superstars ( heroes ) of bollywood to act in their movies but they only have some natural actors , they don ' t get broadcasting rights , and after all this if the movie gets released , they don ' t get the viewers to watch their work . it is the irony of bollywood and that is why i am doubtful of bollywood\u2019s success in recent future .\ntumka \u2013 don\u2019t be confused if you hear this word thrown around a bollywood dance fitness class . it\u2019s a fun , classic bollywood dance move which involves moving your hips from side to side . take a few of our bombay jam classes and you\u2019ll quickly master this iconic dance step in no time !\nno . it won ' t . in fact , there is no competition between hollywood and bollywood at all . hollywood is way better and bigger .\nwe ' re so excited that we have 4 festivals coming up where bollywood beats has been accepted . our first festival is the mumbai film festival that runs from october 29 - november 5 ( http : / / www . mumbaifilmfest . com ) . then we go to fayetville arkansas for the 504 film festival from november 5 - 8 , then nyc for the miaac film fest from november 11 - 15 , and the st . louis international film festival from oct 12 - 22 .\ninteresting question . the answer is unfortunately , no . bollywood lets ( forces ) talent to take a back seat while the face value does the work .\nalso , the main focus in bollywood movies is on the actors as compared to the storyline of the movie which is not the case in hollywood movies .\nin terms of technology hollywood is miles ahead of bollywood . the picturization , graphics , vfx , special effects are fantastically done and they have received huge accolades for using such technologies in their movies . the kind of dedication they put in a project is hard to find in bollywood ( barring a few ) .\ni am not writing this to offend anybody . but the truth is if the good talent wants to enter in bollywood they will not have any chances .\nbollywood beats is the place to be if you want to spice up your night by immersing in the luxe bollywood music lounge with mesmerising live dance performances ! mon -

award winning fox show , so you think you can dance ; ar rahman\u2019s soundtrack for the hit movie slumdog millionaire was incredibly well received in the united states ; and now , infamous bollywood actress priyanka chopra is the lead of a new abc drama called quantico .\nbollywood stars came out in support of director sanjay leela bhansali after a group of up to 30 assailants on wednesday torched props at the film set near mumbai .\ni sincerely hope , however unlikely it is , that i live to see that day when bollywood comes equal to or ahead of hollywood in terms of quality .\nconsidering the movies being made in bollywood in this decade ( 2011 onwards ) , i don ' t think that is going to happen , forget anytime soon .\nwhat can you expect from this bollywood movies in which they can ' t come up even with new songs ! i can understand their concept of making biographies .\nfive years ago , bollywood hardly considered overseas films a threat and hollywood studios were struggling to get a foot in the door of a fiercely loyal movie market .\nhollywood is the highest grossing film industry in the world . while bollywood is the third highest grossing film industry . and the difference in revenue is huge ! pretty huge ! for comparison , business of bollywood films in 2016 was $ 1 . 9 billions , while for hollywood it was $ 11 . 4 billions . : o\nwhere i talk about all things bollywood from news and information in addition to listening to some of the best music the industry has to offer as well as talking about the latest release . this week i ' ll be talking about the latest bollywood release is mirzya , staring harshvardhan kapoor , siyami kher , om puri , kk raina\nmumbai / bombay \u2013 mumbai and bombay are two names for the same city . mumbai is the center of the bollywood industry much like la is the home of hollywood .\nthe only thing where bollywood can beat hollywood is making more films than them annually and number of admissions or footfalls . everything else ? \u2026well there is absolutely no comparison .\ni prefered to watch bollywood films but nowadays there are no films there is no acting there is only regret after watching any of bollywood films . what are they making ? they are only making money by fooling us . a one item song and people get mad . please take some steps towards it otherwise after few years there will only regret .\nindian protesters burned costumes and vandalised the set of bollywood movie\npadmavati\nthis week over tabloid rumours the film will romantically link a legendary hindu queen with a muslim ruler .\nthe threebee motto is \u2018innovative bollywood\u2019 and they work hard to tailor each event to precisely match the needs of the clients . the company has performed across a diverse client base such as\nbollywood star deepika padukone , who plays padmavati , took to twitter to defend the period drama following the first attack , saying\nthere is absolutely no distortion of history\nin the movie .\nbefore even aiming to compete with hollywood at a global level , bollywood will have to compete with the south indian film industry and energetic victorious when it comes to originality and quality of films .\nfor example in india eventhough there are many industries making good movies , bollywood may be the money churning machine , but contnet driven movie lovers will rate malayalam cinema and marathi cinema above bollywood . a new wave of cinema has already started in tamil cinemas and change is already effected . good movies have become rare in bollywood . some directors who make good movies are pushed to the brink ending up in frustration . bollywood has some great talent but often doesn\u2019t get the right recognition because of this cancer called \u201cnepotism\u201d and major production companies only producing only guaranteed money returns . even the comedies that are being made are getting low on content . this is the same industry that produced movies like \u201cjaane bhi do yaaro\u201d , \u201cgolmaal ( 1979 ) \u201d , \u201cpadosan\u201d , \u201cchupke chupke\u201d etc .\nin admist of these shitty movies some good movies also gets affected . no fantasy , no sci - fi , no war nothing is bigger than our bollywood ' s biggest issue ' love ' !\nlastly ( but not the least ) , bollywood is compromising a lot due to nepotism . in bollywood it has become a trend that the blood relatives of producers , actors get higher priority than those who actually struggles to get a chance in the industry . many a times we have seen kins of big stars are cast in movies and they often get a massive opening due the enormous effort put into the promotion . this puts a big question mark on the quality of the movies and upcoming actors . i guess this is something where bollywood must work on if they want to overshadow their western counterpart .\nthe black eyed peas are no strangers to sampling ( we currently list 91 tracks that they ' ve sampled ) and they sure like to sample bollywood . they ' ve done it several times , including in the opening to quirky single ' my humps ' , but the most memorable example is on grammy award winning single ' don ' t phunk with my heart ' . the song is based around a sample of iconic bollywood singer asha bhosle ( yes , she of brimful of asha fame ) from 1972 film apradh . the bep went a step further and sampled the intro for this track from another bollywood soundtrack , don . interestingly , both soundtracks sampled here were composed by the kalyanji anandji brothers - seems like urltoken & co really wanted to get that vintage 70 ' s bollywood action flick sound .\nworst thing ever is to cast sunny leone in bollywood films in horny characters and still she is saying that she came here to prove something and don\u2019t take her as pornstar ( think about that ) .\nit dates back to the time since the first films were made in india . bollywood films must have song and dance and a large number of dance styles have been enfolded into it . these dances might include\u2026\n\u201cfrench kiss\u201d was never a big hit in the west . perhaps that\u2019s why the makers of its successful bollywood version named \u201cpyaar to hona hi tha\u201d never admitted that the film was based on the hollywood film .\nbollywood director karan johar , whose own film was the subject of violent protests last year by hindu nationalist groups for featuring a pakistani actor , told reporters the attacks on\npadmavati\nwere\ndeeply saddening\n.\ntollywood actors show emotions far better than majority of the actors in bollywood . if a certain role requires anger , anger is clearly reflected in the eyes of the hero . emotions of sadness are also shown perfectly !\nthe biggest drawback of bollywood is the fact that people are more obsessed with the actors rather than the content . here one has to make a movie with big names involved with it , if the makers want to make a good deal of money out of it . bollywood feeds on stardom , hero worship . a big star does not necessarily make a great actor , but his presence on the screen definitely churns a huge amount of money .\nthere are lots of problems with bollywood ( not just with bollywood , but also with some of the other regional movie industries as well ) . actors and actresses ( particularly main characters ) are chosen based on the achievement of their parents in the film industry . star kids enter into the industry too easily . for people , who have no connections find it very difficult to land a decent role . in short , talent is not given importance .\nvisited their on friday night ! aroma of tat place is like m in mumbai . have to tell tat dancers are very talented their . specially a one ? oops ddnt ask the name my bad \ufffd . cheers to bollywood nights\ufffd\ufffd\nbollyrobics is fusion of bollywood style dance and aerobics . whether you are a serious dancer or someone looking for fun , a child or a child at heart , we ' ve got it all . this will be the last time\u2026\nalso , the animations and the vfx effects that we see in the bollywood movies are okay but when you watch movies like avatar or life of pi or jungle book or any marvel or dc movies it just blows your mind .\nthe biggest bollywood release of this week was not in india , but in china . aamir khan\u2019s mega - hit dangal opened across 10 , 000 screens in china , which is also the biggest market for hollywood films outside america .\nhollywood movies cater to the entire world as the number of people understanding english is higher than their hindi counterparts . this undoubtedly works as an upperhand for hollywood . however bollywood movies are also doing great globally these days ( bahubali 2 has become highest grosser in the us bo recently and few more are there ) . this might be due to the fact that bollywood movies are targeted primarily for the indian audiences , whereas in the west the target audience is the entire globe . they make movies on different personalities , on different incidents which involves countries other than the us , books or novels that are read and followed everywhere in the world . hence the popularity of english movies is always greater than bollywood .\nurdu \u2013 urdu is hindi\u2019s close cousin . it is very similar to hindi and widely spoken in india\u2019s neighboring country , pakistan . urdu has a large presence in indian poetry , and therefore makes a recurring appearance in bollywood films and music .\nwhen bollywood would become a pool of people with talent rather than a colony where few families control the entire industry i . e . nepotism would be at a minimum . so that everyone gets equal opportunities . few examples to prove my point -\nbollywood repeats their genre number of times . like they love to make movies related to romantic or rom - com or comedy . here in this tiral they go on making same kind of movies whereas in hollywood you will see majority of topics and they make movies with detail study . they do not stop themselves from experiments . they love to make something from nothing . so if bollywood have to do something to go ahead than they have to put their step in the field of experiments .\nthe term \u2018bollywood\u2019 in dance covers almost any style of dance featured in these extravagant musical movies . some of the numerous styles of dance featured in films , either in fusion form or in pure forms , include kathak , bharatnatyam , odissi , garba & bhangra as well as belly - dance , latin , hip hop , contemporary and jazz just to name a few ! bollywood dance itself is a style which encompasses all of these styles and more , as well as having its own unique flavour and merit .\nkhan is the star of such hits as \u201cdilwale dulhaniya le jayenge , \u201d \u201cdevdas , \u201d \u201cchennai express\u201d and \u201ckabhi khushi kabhie gham . \u201d his latest film , \u201c raees , \u201d gave the bollywood industry a good start to 2017 after a lackluster year .\nbollywood is missing a simple point , i . e if the movies are good , there are good chances that it will be a box office hit too . focus is heavily on making the movie a commercial success , but not on having a decent story .\nbut aside from that , the release of dangal has highlighted how \u2018made in india\u2019 or rather \u2018made in bollywood\u2019 has caught on in china . salman khan\u2019s eid release tubelight may get a china release as well , as might tiger shroff\u2019s baaghi 2 , as per reports .\nddjl \u2013 ddlj is the acronym for the quintessential bollywood rom - com , dilwale dulhania le jayenge ( \u201cthe brave - hearted will take the bride\u201d ) . yes it\u2019s a mouthful , but it\u2019s a bollywood must see . starring heartthrob shahrukh khan , the movie follows the tale of a young couple who meet and fall in love during a vacation in europe and all the complications which ensue thereafter . till this date , ddlj holds the world record for the longest - running film in theaters\u2014a whopping 1009 weeks ( almost 20 years ) \u2014due to its widespread popularity .\ni dream of the times when bollywood will produce a sci - fi film or a superhero film with hollywood like vfx . horror movies will mostly revolve around some sexy actress making out and lame jump scares . there ' s no suspense . i firmly believe that the bollywood producers will keep releasing such movies , unless the audience stops seeing such movies and demands movies of a good , logical plot . my most favorite comedy movie is ' hera pheri ' and there have been not many movies that match or even exceed the level of comedy portrayed in the movie .\namong other bollywood films released in china was dhoom 3 ( which also starred aamir khan , in a double role ) . and while bahubali 2 : the conclusion is breaking box - office records in india , bahubali : the beginning had done roaring business in china after its july 2016 release .\nbollywood has larger audiences in india , yet they just try and make only few genres . most of them would be always rom - com or just romantic movies ( again most of those in that list are crap too ) . they are very much focusing on skin shows and grand attires where they miss all the other things . even the editing , sound engineering feels like crap to me . but there are really good movies which comes time from time in bollywood ( only few like pk , taare zameen paar , dhoom 1 , 2 , bajrangi bhaijan , . . ) . the kind of money the big celebrity movies from bollywood earn is a daydream for most of the other regional movies ( except rajinikanth movies ) . yet they wont produce a movie like robot or baahubali ( where they produce movies like bang bang , ra one , kick , dishoom , + add so much worst remade movies in those list ) .\nbollywood star shah rukh khan will be honored at the 60th san francisco intl . film festival on april 14 at the castro theater . \u201cking\u201d khan as he is known to his millions of fans will participate in a conversation onstage with brett ratner following a screening of his 2010 hit \u201cmy name is khan . \u201d\nthough bollywood may be the best - known indian dance style in the united states , adler worked with choreographer shampa gopikrishna to also incorporate indian folk , classical , and regional styles . she and emmy award - winning\ndancing with the stars\nchoreographer tessandra chavez worked on several routines in the film together .\nbhangra \u2013 bhangra is a folk dance originating from the indian state of punjab . it\u2019s a high - impact , high - energy , aerobic style of dance which involves a lot of jumps and high knees . bhangra music and dance is often incorporated into bollywood . bhangra also has a sizable presence in western music .\nitem numbers \u2013 a signature feature of bollywood movies , item numbers refer to dance numbers within a film that don\u2019t necessarily lend themselves to the plot . these songs often end up becoming chart toppers in india as they are catchy and fun to dance to . the music videos will include vibrant choreography and colorful costumes .\np . s - i have put a bet of 5000 thousand rupees with my brother in 2012 that no bollywood movie could match the level of animation like it was shown in men in black 3 till the year 2020 and all i can say till now is that i have never been so right . ; )\nin la , it ' s not that often that i get to learn a new style of dance ,\nellsworth told nbc news .\nso when i got to learn some real authentic bollywood styles from shampa gopikrishna , i was so excited to explore a side of dance i hadn ' t learned before .\nmasala film : masala is the hindi word for \u201cspice . \u201d masala films have everything\u2014romance , comedy , action , drama , songs , dances , thrills , and of course , melodrama . they are commercially successful and aim to please as wide an audience as possible . they are often considered mainstream in relation to other bollywood films .\nbollywood star shah rukh khan will be honored at the 60th san francisco intl . film festival on april 14 at the castro theater . \u201cking\u201d khan as he is known to his millions of fans will participate in a conversation onstage with brett ratner following a screening of his 2010 hit \u201cmy name is khan . \u201d \u201cit [ \u2026 ]\nfact : ram gopal varma\u2019s \u201cthe attacks of 26 / 11\u201d is shot in a para - documentary format and one of the only 2 films of bollywood to be shot in that format . it also received many awards in the independent film category . the only other film to be shot in para - documentary format is irfan khan\u2019s \u201ctalvar\u201d .\nwe awe to films with budget of 100 crores in bollywood , whereas the budget of most big movies like transformers , pirates of caribbean , avengers stand to $ 200 - $ 250 million . that ' s whooping 16 , 05 , 00 , 00 , 000 indian rupees . yes , count the figure and imagine surpassing this budget .\nthat an assamese song has been used in a bollywood movie is good news for the state ' s cultural milieu . i am very happy ,\nrajdweep , who has written songs for at least seven assamese films and is working on two , said . his song pokhi pokhi mor mon sung by papon was a huge hit .\n\u201cafter pk\u2019s phenomenal success in china , and now that the fast and the furious 8 ( aka the fate of the furious ) has done better in china than in america , china seems to be the next destination for bollywood films . goes without saying that china has a huge market to be explored , \u201d says trade analyst taran adarsh .\nit is good to be ambitious . but the recent questions on bollywood vs hollywood is showing the dissatisfaction in us . the moment we encourage good movies and stop going to movies just because a huge star is present in that film will take our films a long way in the world of international cinema . and only then , we can beat hollywood .\non the other hand , bollywood is still selling actors instead of movies . horror and sci - fi genres are non - existent . romance movies are cheesy , and oft sexist . action movies are ( unintentionally ) funnier than the purported comedy flicks like kya kool hain hum , housefull etc . the industry\u2019s lacking in both the depth and breadth of movies .\nin 2016 , marvel superhero film deadpool trumped the hindi film fitoor , nearly doubling the $ 2 . 9 million box office takings of the bollywood remake of charles dickens\u2019 great expectations . disney\u2019s the jungle book , released a week before indian superstar shah rukh khan\u2019s new film , raked in $ 28 million in ticket sales while fan mopped up $ 13 million .\nfirstly , it is the desire of directors and producers to make good movies . presently , top bollywood directors ( except a few like anurag kashyap ) are devoid of any such desire . contemporary big movies are kick , chennai express , bajrangi bhaijan , happy new year , singham , rowdy rathore and many more . these are movies which get highlighted and earn a lot . so the producers and directors go on making more shit ( i use that word because yesterday i watched the trailer of \u2018flying jatt\u2019 ) . on the contrary , there are great hollywood directors who make a movie because they just want to make it . i don ' t see a \u2018schindler\u2019s list\u2019 kind of work coming in bollywood any time soon .\nright . so how are the dance productions ? those are pretty much the entire purpose of a bollywood musical . it\u2019s revealing that although keith clark is credited with the choreography , four other names are listed below his , without official title \u2014 suggesting the varying styles on display . bhatt is attractive and charming , though his hip - hop moves are more mainstream breaks and glides than hard - core aggressive krump . as the put - upon housewife who ( surprise ! ) suddenly flowers on the floor , kumar is a commanding presence . bollywood musicals are all about directing ( possibly dangerous ) sexual energies into safe , smiling , lightly smoldering dance numbers , and kumar excels at conveying the smolder , especially in the final sequence .\nall said , the hollywood will churn out better movies than bollywood ever will . i admit there are some masterpieces that the bollywood has delivered , like ' a wednesday ' , ' sarfarosh ' , ' padosan ' , swades ( worth of mentioning it again ) , ' bhaag milkha bhaag ' , ' rang de basanti ' . but the number of zero - depth , illogical movies released every year highly overshadows the number of really good movies . i saw the trailer of baar baar dekho , and i saw a scene straight out of ' a beautiful mind ' where russel crowe is calculating on the windows , and the same scene is shown in the movie . siddharth malhotra also does the same , although a bit differently .\n, has had a profound effect on cinema across the world since the early 20th century . the united states cinema ( hollywood ) is the oldest film industry in the world . hollywood has become popular world - wide , with many of its films being released in almost all countries . while bollywood is popular in the eastern countries and has been gaining popularity in many western countries including the us .\nperiod drama begum jaan was the only bollywood film that dared to challenge the fast and the furious car - racing franchise , unlike other indian films that steered clear of a possible clash despite the dearth of slots in a crowded 2017 release calendar . \u201cit has come to a stage when producers are actually staying away from april 14 , \u201d film - maker vikramaditya motwane told reuters in an interview in march .\ncolin burrows , a marketing consultant who works on hollywood releases in india , said he sat in on meetings with bollywood producers and studio executives pushing release dates in order to avoid clashing with hollywood franchises such as transformers , x - men , avengers and spider - man . \u201ci can tell you one thing - i would not care to be a release scheduler in india right now , \u201d said burrows .\nlastly , cinema in a layman\u2019s terms is something made for the entertainment of the masses . of course that is not the boundary of cinema , it is a lot more than that . but unfortunately , majority of indians prescribe to the previous viewpoint . i agree to one phrase in that view \u201cfor the masses\u201d . and the most unfortunate thing to happen to bollywood is that taste of viewers . it is not that we don ' t have good directors or good stories , neither do we lack in good actors but all is in vain unless people start appreciating good cinema . and that is the biggest barrier in bollywood\u2019s journey to greatness . and this generation has its tastes decided , we have to wait for the next . hollywood decided it a long time back when they ranked citizen kane as the best movie .\nthe beats on tricky ' s debut album maxinquaye almost sounded like they were from another planet when the album came out in 1994 , and while that wasn ' t entirely true , they did come from some unexpected sources that were forward - thinking for the time . this beat from the soundtrack to 1993 ' s khal nayak forms the perfect background to tricky ' s trademark rasping voice and martina topley - bird ' s stoned singing . tricky tapped into indian cinema once more on this album by sampling the beat for public enemy cover ' black steel ' from a . r . rahman ' s soundtrack to roja . interestingly , roja was rahman ' s first soundtrack , launching an illustrious career that took him from his tamil roots to the top of international cinema , scoring films such as slumdog millionaire and 127 hours while winning two academy awards , two grammy awards and a golden globe along the way .\nin fact today it seems as if bollywood is going through a dark age . most of the debutant actors come with six and eight pack abs , good looks and dancing skills but they know nothing about acting . we can ' t progress till we create actors , not just heroes who romance with a girl , take off their shirts and fight a few gundas . and the awards are an icing on the cake .\nsadly bollywood is an industry who believes in looks and muscle than talent . if an actor does not have a fair skin means his career is a flop . if an actor is bald means his career is flop . whereas in hollywood even will smith is black and we know how great he is . they give opportunity to talent first than the looks . we need to be very serious by the quote that \u201c the look does not matter\u201d\ndeepti is a dance instructor located in edmonton , alberta . she has learnt formal bharatnatyam ( classical dance from the state of tamil nadu , india ) from the young age of three under the mentorship of srimati girija rajendran from kalashetra bani , tamil nadu . she is also well versed in mohiniyattam ( classical dance art form of the state of kerala , india ) which she has been practicing from the age of eight under the mentorship of srimati sarojini iyer from thiruvanathapuram . she has earned accolades of credits attending various dance workshops around the word through her career and specializes in bollywood dancing . she was the head choreographer in \u201cthe hail foundation\u201d of cms college alumina 1999 in dubai , u . a . e . deepti instructs bollywood dance lessons and conducts dance workshops for all ages and choreographs dances for various events . she has also a lot of experience in instructing children ' s dance classes in edmonton ."]}

with their eyes , their hands , their \u2026 the list goes on . but here\u2019s the kicker : while most guys have no qualms about touching their girlfriends in private , pda is another story . when your man puts his arm around you in public , he\u2019s both proudly announcing to the world that you\u2019re together and making a protective gesture . another love gesture ? when he starts offering the hugs and cuddles you crave , with no expectation of sex . he wants to serve you with physical touch , not use it just to get what he wants .\nwork like you don ' t need the money . love like you ' ve never been hurt . dance like nobody ' s watching .\nif you love someone , set them free . if they come back they ' re yours ; if they don ' t they never were .\ncontinue following our fashion and lifestyle coverage on facebook ( styles and modern love ) , twitter ( styles , fashion and weddings ) and instagram .\nroger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success\u2026\npeter klaven ' s world revolves around his real estate work and zooey , his soon - to - be fianc\u00e9e . after he pops the question , she calls her best friends and they go into wedding planning mode . peter has no male friends and that poses problems : will he turn out to be a clingy guy , and who will be his best man ? zooey , her friends , and peter ' s brother robbie offer help that results in awkward moments . then , at an open house peter ' s hosting , he meets sydney , an amiable , low - key guy . they trade business cards , and peter calls him to meet for drinks . a friendship develops that ' s great at first but then threatens peter ' s engagement and career . can guys be friends and couples be in love ? written by\ntae - il ( hwang jung - min ) lives a fast life as low level thug . he then learns that he has a terminal illness and not much time left to live . for the first time in his life falls in love . the woman ' s name is ho - jung ( han hye - jin ) .\nomg ! such a heart warming movie ! i really cried a lot ! the version of this movie is far better than the korean drama version of song seung - heon and shin se - kyung . there ' s soul and love in this story . very good script writer . the actors were all fantastic ! hwang jung - min and han hye - jin were genius in their performance ! great production ! i super recommend this movie to all family , lovers and everyone else . . .\nwe\u2019re only here for a very short time . in every moment , we only have one real choice : will it bring me closer to or further away from love ?\none of the better recent ' buddy comedies ' and one if you ' re in the mood to laugh , you definitely won ' t regret showing a little love .\nstop staring dreamingly into his eyes , seeking the answers to the questions in your heart and instead , listen to his word choices . when he starts using words like \u2018we , \u2019 \u2018us , \u2019 and \u2018team awesome\u2019 , he\u2019s not thinking of himself as a single man anymore . you\u2019re now part of his life . and he loves that . this also goes hand - in - hand with more signs he is falling for you : he talks about the future . does he make plans for the future that include you ? did he invite you to his buddy\u2019s wedding next fall ? does he joke about your future children together ? when he\u2019s got a future with you on his mind , he\u2019s already decided that he has no intentions of letting you go .\nthere\u2019s no stronger sign of a budding relationship than when a man wants you to meet his parents . or his siblings . or his best friends . when he\u2019s ready to introduce you to people who matter most\u2014and is equally eager to meet your friends and family \u2014 he has no intentions of going anywhere . he\u2019s proud to be with you and wants his family to fall in love with you , too .\nthere\u2019s a certain freedom in a life - threatening sickness . there\u2019s a certain liberation in staring down death in the face . it makes you do crazy things . it makes you unafraid to tear down the only identity you\u2019ve ever known for a gamble . it makes you walk right up to your best friend and tell him that you love him .\nhe stopped and thought for a moment . it was a long moment . then he opened his mouth again and asked , \u201cdo you miss me when i\u2019m away ? \u201d\nsuccess is no accident . it is hard work , perseverance , learning , studying , sacrifice and most of all , love of what you are doing or learning to do .\non the drive from the calgary airport to the hotel for our honeymoon , my new husband casually mentioned that he would need to find a criminal defense attorney when we got home .\nthe state of being married is coming to the realization that the person you have pledged your life to is , at heart , a mystery . there will always be things unknown to you .\nhis best man had to collect a . t . m . cards from the guests to gather enough cash on a saturday morning to post bail for him before the wedding . this was after he already had been frog - marched from the jail to the courthouse of the adorably quaint appalachian mountain town in leg and arm shackles , chained to the other men being arraigned that morning , including his cellmate from the night before , who stood accused of attempted murder .\nit\u2019s the timeless question you\u2019ve asked to daisies and to your best friends : how do men fall in love ? and what are the telltale signs he is falling for you ? sometimes it seems like a complete mystery incapable of ever being solved . is it timing , certain qualities that explain what men look for in a women , or basic chemistry ? is it the intangibles or the concrete ?\n\u201cwell , there was a chance i might not have made it to the ceremony , if the judge had decided not to grant bail . we didn\u2019t want you to worry before the wedding . \u201d\nonly it didn\u2019t start out as love . see , two summers ago , i came down with a mysterious illness . not the common cold kind . not even the achy back kind . this was the kind where you vomit massive amounts of blood throughout the day . the kind where doctors pass you from specialist to specialist . the kind where you\u2019re bent over in pain with tears in your eyes .\nlove can soften the heart . being right isn\u2019t as important as doing right by the other person . when your beau starts to meet you in the middle on topics he\u2019s typically stubborn about\u2014maybe he\u2019s a movie snob who suddenly willing to let you pick a flick he\u2019d otherwise never watch\u2014he\u2019s leading with his heart instead of his head . selflessness is one of the many important early signs of a good relationship that\u2019s blooming .\nwhile early signs of a good relationship are sometimes difficult to define , luckily , a few are obvious enough to decode . you can determine these by understanding what makes a man commit to a long - term partnership and what keeps his interest over many decades , trials and experiences . as love and dating author john gray , ph . d . explains , ultimately what men and women want is the same : \u201cthey want to feel connected , they want to feel attraction , and to experience passion . \u201d\nin the end , alex didn\u2019t go to jail for his bachelor party escapades . he paid a fine , just as he predicted . he still doesn\u2019t understand why i cried all night the day after we got married .\nfunny but cliched . i don ' t really get what the point of such a movie is , but maybe they don ' t all need to have a point if they make you smile for a few moments .\nin chaplaincy , a mystery is not something that cannot be known . it\u2019s the opposite . we say god and life and death are mysteries in theological language not because they are unknowable , but because there is so much to know that you can never know the depths of it ; there is always more you can learn . they are mysteries , with a capital m , because they are infinitely knowable . the more you learn , the more you want to know .\nher husband , i learned , had been convicted of over 100 counts of sexual assault of children . the accusations and charges spread out across the 50 years of their marriage and even before . they had all been family members .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nthere\u2019s something that drives men wild and invites them into a deeper level of \u2018connection\u2019\u2013 play . men love to be active and to play . they were raised to express themselves and connect with those around them through action . this doesn\u2019t have to mean watching sports or being overly competitive , but rather , it\u2019s found in your attitude . what men look for in women is a willingness and openness to life , where you invite laughter , humor and positivity . while you might not be always fully engaged and happy , when you serve as someone who sees the glass as half - full , he\u2019s more likely to let down his guard . that\u2019s why if he\u2019s joking with you and in good spirits around you , he\u2019s likely more interested than you realize .\nonce , it was the other way around . a husband told me that he knew his eldest child was not his , and had always known : the dates simply did not match up . he was out of the country for the war . it was not physically possible .\nwe\u2019ll never be \u201cfigured out . \u201d over the course of our lives , we\u2019ll constantly be transforming into a more and more authentic version of ourselves . our preferences will change . our passions will change . and we have to be brave enough to choose the thing that makes up happiest in each individual moment .\nalex explained that on the night of his bachelor party , he and a few other friends had gotten into a drunken argument with some locals in the only bar in town , apparently over a flip - flop . someone , at some point , threw a punch , and it all went downhill from there .\nsuddenly it all made sense . my older brother\u2019s black eye . ( he said he\u2019d walked into a door . ) the bruises around my younger brother\u2019s neck . ( he hadn\u2019t even tried to make up an excuse . ) my sister making me walk the long way to the hair salon on the morning of the wedding instead of the direct route past the courthouse . the fact that my bridesmaid\u2019s husband and my sister - in - law , two people who didn\u2019t really know each other , took off together with a lurch and a screech in my husband\u2019s car when i waved at them on the way to the hairdresser .\none old woman , timid and always trembling in her bed , always with the shades drawn and the light off , had no friends , no family , no one . she had moved across the country to this little town where no one knew her and she knew no one , and she wanted it that way .\nbecause this is a rom - com , various obligatory scenes are necessary ; peter goes shopping for a best friend on some man dates with guys met on the internet , with predictable results . the movie feels locked into formula until the appearance of sydney , met while scarfing free food at peter ' s open house for the home of lou ferrigno . segel brings sunshine into the movie ; we like his character even more quickly than peter does .\nand my roommate , garrett , one of my best friends at the time , took pity on me . he took care of me . he picked up my prescriptions from the pharmacy . he cooked me dinner . he stayed in on friday nights to watch movies . he\u2019d even rub my back when i was in pain .\nthough many will first turn to the physical characteristics to explain what men look for in women , the emotional experience is more powerful . in other words , what a man feels as a result of the experiences he has with you are what can make him see you as a woman he absolutely needs to get closer to . this is one of the signs he is falling for you , since it illustrates he feels he can openly communicate and be himself fully when you\u2019re together .\ndoes he send you funny texts during the day ? does he comment about the songs , signs and hilarious headlines that remind him of you ? does he google last night\u2019s unresolved debate\u2014\u2018which is healthier : ice cream or gelato ? \u2014 when he\u2019s at work and tell you about it ? when you become a very present part of his day even when you\u2019re apart , it\u2019s one of the many signs he is falling for you .\ninfuse your life with action . don ' t wait for it to happen . make it happen . make your own future . make your own hope . make your own love . and whatever your beliefs , honor your creator , not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high , but by doing what you can to make grace happen . . . yourself , right now , right down here on earth .\nyou might never have to wonder how men fall in love if you feel respected by your partner . how come ? experts agree early signs of a good relationship include a male partner who cares about the details of your life . it might seem like a no - brainer , but if your guy values your opinions , compliments your character , celebrates your accomplishments , pays attention to details , and even accommodates your quirky habits , he\u2019s invested .\nsydney lives in a little frame cottage a block up the street from the venice beach boardwalk . this house was cheap in , oh , say , the depression . now it only looks cheap . we never see its interior ; sydney escorts peter directly to his\nman cave ,\na converted garage in the backyard where he keeps all his toys : drum set , guitars , music system , flat - screen tv , movie posters , lava lamps , weird souvenirs , recliner chairs , wet bar , fridge , wall hangings , even an area dedicated to . . . well , never mind .\npeter ( paul rudd ) needs a sydney ( jason segel ) in his life . he has been told this by zooey ( rashida jones ) , the girl he plans to marry . she would , however , have preferred a less extreme case than this sydney . peter is a real - estate agent who is hopelessly , even touchingly , clueless when it comes to seeming the least bit cool . one of those really nice guys , who , when the chips are down , has no idea where to look , what to say , how to move or how to extricate himself gracefully from an impossible situation . he gets along great with women but has no male best friend and actually needs to find one to be best man at his wedding .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ?

[ 11 ] this inability to be done with the characters in the killing of a chinese bookie was a trait that marked a number of cassavetes\u2019 productions .\nalso check out carney ' s books for an account of the differences between the two versions of the killing of a chinese bookie . he may be the only person in the world who has seen both . cassavetes presented him with 35mm prints of each before he died .\nbut i was sort of drifting in and out of sleep for the first twenty minutes of this before i suddenly realised why opening night - and , as it would turn out , the killing of a chinese bookie - are so strangely , rawly compelling .\nthe killing of a chinese bookie isn\u2019t your typical mobster film per se . whilst it uses familial elements of the genre , it\u2019s mainly used as window dressing to decorate a multi - layered character drama . and to the films credit it works best as an\u2026\na classic , noirish study of the lethal combination of masculine pride and arrogant self - destruction , the film\u2019s subtle and very naturalistic tone is similar to mean streets , martin scorsese\u2019s excellent examination of catholic guilt and the fallibility of criminals . this similarity is no coincidence , either : scorsese and cassavetes had together formulated a treatment for the killing of a chinese bookie several years previously , during an editing session on scorsese\u2019s film , and indeed cassavetes even claimed to have completed the script for the killing of a chinese bookie with the sole intention of handing it over to scorsese to direct .\narguably the most plot - driven of his films , cassavates withdrew the killing of a chinese bookie shortly after the initial release and subsequently re - cut a shorter version with a different opening . the re - cut version is available on the blu - ray and the dvd includes the long version amongst the special features .\nthe killing of a chinese bookie is the second film in my retrospective of john cassavetes filmography , the first being his debut shadows . the film stars ben gazzara as cosmo vittelli a strip club owner whose gambling addiction leaves him in hot water with the mob . he then accepts a proposition to take on a hit of a chinese mobster in order to lower his debt , which brings a whole host of other problems to his doorsteps .\nno doubt the prime motivation for cassavetes\u2019 participation in such films was money , and if those salaries bought him some time and artistic freedom , and helped bankroll mini - masterpieces like the killing of a chinese bookie , then all the better . despite the film ' s art - house credentials , the killing of a chinese bookie is perhaps cassavetes\u2019 most well - known and conventional work , and it seems incomprehensible that it was panned upon its initial release , before a hasty re - edit by the director addressed its perceived deficiencies .\nright from the opening handful of frames , one discovers that john cassavetes\u2019 best known film , or at least the film many people think of when his name is brought up in conversation , the killing of a chinese bookie , is unlike anything the director did prior , or would do in its wake .\njohn cassavetes\u0092 the killing of a chinese bookie , the fourth film in criterion\u0092s john cassavetes : five films box set , is presented on blu - ray in the original aspect ratio of 1 . 85 : 1 in 1080p / 24hz . the dual - layer disc presents both the 1976 and 1978 versions of the film .\nopening night\u2019s production issues ranged from unions threatening the film for its non - union crew and extras to a stunted release and an exceedingly cool domestic reception . \u201cif the killing of a chinese bookie was a commercial failure , \u201d notes charity , \u201c opening night barely registered at all . \u201d 21\nit ' s rather like a shaggy dog story operating inside a chase movie . chinese bookie is the more insouciant , involuted and unfathomable of the two ; the curdled charm of gazzara ' s lopsided grin has never been more to the point .\none of them was the killing of a chinese bookie , a film that displays most of the faults of his kind of on - the - hoof film - making - and all the virtues . cassavetes always used to say that the emotion in his films was improvised but the lines written . there is no doubt , though , that when he let his actors loose on the set , there were considerable surprises in store .\njohn cassavetes ' s \u201cthe killing of a chinese bookie , \u201d which opened yesterday at the columbia i and ii theater , is like the last three of the director ' s films ( \u201ca woman under the influence , \u201d \u201chusbands\u201d and \u201cminnie and moskowitz\u201d ) in the way it resolutely refuses to come to a point strong or interesting enough to support the loving care that ' s gone into its production , particularly on the part of the actors .\ni\u0092m disappointed with how the \u009276 version of chinese bookie was handled but everything else about this set offers a significant enhancement over the previous dvd set . the supplements altogether offer a great overview of cassavetes\u0092 work and the presentations for the films are better and more filmic overall . it comes with a high recommendation .\ni ' m going to watch john cassavetes ' s the killing of a chinese bookie and the copy i borrowed from the library has two cuts - one from 1976 that ' s a 135 minute edit and one from 1978 that ' s a 108 minute edit . i wonder which version i should watch , and if anybody knows which version cassavetes considered to be the\ncorrect\nedit .\nbut instead of cashing in , cassavetes continued to work mostly outside the mainstream hollywood system , and his remarkable run of films in the 1970s \u2013 husbands ( 1971 ) , minnie and moskowitz ( 1971 ) , a woman under the influence ( 1974 ) , killing of a chinese bookie ( 1976 ) , opening night ( 1977 ) \u2013 is an accomplishment that ranks with any director ' s body of work before or since .\ninterestingly , both the killing of a chinese bookie and mean streets are a long way from the terrific , elaborate and expensive crime films that scorsese would come to direct twenty years or so later . by then , scorsese was more interested in deconstructing the glamour , mythology and iconography of famous and wealthy mafia figures , rather than realism and the seamier , low - key experiences of small - time gangsters at street level .\nfrom a story developed with martin scorcese , cassavetes tackles ( and comments on ) the film noir genre . cosmo , a club owner in heavy debt , is pressured into committing the title act to pay off the mob . note : according to ray carney , two versions of killing of a chinese bookie exist : a 1976 edit ( 135 minutes ) and a 1978 edit ( 108 minutes ) . both , carney says , are of equal interest . stars ben gazzara .\nben gazzara is the star of killing , the story of the owner of the crazy horse west , a failing la strip joint he is determined to keep open because it ' s the only thing he ' s built up from scratch in his somewhat tawdry life . in order to remain solvent , he has to kill a chinese bookie for the mob . the sequence in which he breaks into the old man ' s luxurious apartment and does the job is as terrifying as anything in the godfather .\nif one face of time in cassavetes\u2019 films is about repetition , habit , fatigue and the elongation of actions to the point where meaning is lost or overturned , time in the killing of a chinese bookie is more elusive , yet also more abrupt . for jean epstein , cinema\u2019s ability to mark an event or an emotion with a sense of constant temporal dispersal constitutes one of its principal links to modern life : \u201cyou look at your watch , the present strictly speaking is already no longer there , and strictly speaking it is there again , it will always be there from one midnight to the next\u201d . [ 28 ] there is a gnawing senses of distraction in the killing of a chinese bookie , of always being too soon or too late . it is as if the turning point that could reveal events and their significance is always just about to happen or has already happened prior to our arrival .\n\u201cthe killing of a chinese bookie\u201d is about cosmo vitelli ( ben gazzara ) , the owner of a tacky nightclub on hollywood ' s sunset strip , and cosmo ' s troubles when the mob coerces him into carrying out a contract murder in order to pay off a $ 23 , 000 gambling debt . that ' s the story , but the film has less interest in story than in character , for which , in mr . cassavetes ' s vocabulary , you may also read actor .\nthe killing of a chinese bookie seems to retrace one of cinema\u2019s first lessons , about light and its capacity to both bring forth an image or action yet also lose it in an uneven flow and distribution of luminous force . how is it possible to build and maintain a figure in the midst of this uneven luminous wash ? what are the attributes of this figure that is at once both flesh and blood and shot through with light ? in alexandre astruc\u2019s account of murnau\u2019s films he describes a tension between composition and annihilation in the very construction of the image :\nben gazzara and al ruban - in this excellent interview piece , actor ben gazzara ( cosmo ) and and producer al ruban discuss their contributions to the killing of a chinese bookie and recall their interactions with john cassavetes during the shooting of the film . the two gentlemen also discuss the initial reactions to the 1976 version of the film . the interviews were conducted exclusively for criterion in los angeles and new york in 2004 . in english , not subtitled . ( 19 min , 1080i ) .\nthe fourth disc features the killing of a chinese bookie and the big feature is that the disc features both the 1976 and 1978 cuts of the film . the inclusion of the two cuts is somewhat surprising since gena rowlands apparently refused to allow the alternate version of shadows to be included in the set and my understanding is cassavetes preferred the \u009178 cut . as to why there are two cuts to the film : cassavetes was apparently disappointed in the reception of it when he originally released it in 1976 . he shortened it down and re - edited , i think in an attempt to make it more of a conventional gangster film .\nthe killing of a chinese bookie , directed and written by john cassavetes ; produced by al rubin ; supervising editor , torn cornwell ; camera operators , fred elmes and mike harris ; music conducted and arranged by anthony harris ; released by faces distribution corporation . running time : 130 minutes . at the columbia i and ii theaters . second avenue rear 64th street . this film has been rated r .\nbarely able to contain his anger but realizing that he is in a tight spot , cosmo drives to the chinese gangster ' s heavily guarded home .\nmort comes to visit the club with an entourage . they ask him about his mortgage . they know he doesn ' t have the money and start talking about a\npunk chinese bookie\nthey can ' t get to . cosmo reveals that he fought in korea and killed some people in the war . they propose that he kill the bookie . he initially declines , bragging about being a club owner and how he built himself up from nothing . he says that he ' s interested in reducing the debt but not eliminating it . ( killing the bookie ) after some back and forth , they suggest that he take his girls and use them to draw out the bookie ( he likes beautiful girls ) go locate him and invite him to his club to reduce the debt by $ 10 , 000 . 00 .\nthe criterion collection upgrades their box set john cassavetes : five films to blu - ray , presenting the films and special features over five dual - layer discs . the set includes the films shadows , faces , a woman under the influence , the killing of a chinese bookie , and opening night . shadows is presented in the aspect ratio of about 1 . 33 : 1 , faces at 1 . 66 : 1 , and the other three films in the ratio of 1 . 85 : 1 . all five films are presented with 1080p / 24hz high - definition transfers .\nit has the plot of a fast - paced , exciting thriller , but the killing of a chinese bookie rather becomes a slow - paced , intimate , somber and atmospheric noir - ish character study full of humanity that ' ll immersive you throughout . its superbly shot but it never shows off , and ben gazzara is phenomenal , totally convincing as the sleazy strip club owner living a mundane existence . cassavetes ' honest portrait of this man is both sympathetic and bleak , and the mood and his raw , observational style works wonders here . i really liked this one , and its not only because there ' s a lot of boobs in it .\nif theatre and cinema are always present in cassavetes\u2019 films , caught in a process of reciprocal exchange , why , we might ask , does he feel the need to literalise this scenario in the killing of a chinese bookie and opening night ? these two films reveal something rarely associated with cassavetes : an attempt to theorise the impulses and drives at work in his films . this theorisation , however , does not take place somewhere apart from the films ; it emerges in tandem with the work of performance . by turning towards the world of theatre , cassavetes is not taking a step away from cinema but looking at it from a certain vantage point , taking in a particular truth of the work .\nthis disturbance of tempo is strikingly reflected in the centrepiece of the film\u2019s rereading of the gangster genre : cosmo\u2019s performance of the hit on the chinese bookie . after receiving an extraordinarily complex set of directions , cosmo finds his journey to the bookie\u2019s house suddenly interrupted by a blowout on the freeway . he uses this unexpected delay to make a quick phone call back to the club to check on the progress of the act . when neither vince nor sonny are able to tell him which number is being performed , cosmo is forced to sing into the receiver a few bars of mr sophistication\u2019s signature tune , \u201ci can\u2019t give you anything but love\u201d . the neon light of the phone booth seems to operate as cosmo\u2019s own personal spotlight demanding that he come up with an appropriate performance .\nmr . cassavetes ' s way of film making is to set up actors , whom he admires , trusts and finds endlessly fascinating , in situations in which they are as likely to philosophize about acting as about life . acting\u2014performance\u2014is a legitimate metaphor for certain kinds of lives but by the end of \u201cthe killing of a chinese bookie\u201d you may rightfully expect more than you have actually received . this includes a lot of enigmatic snatches of cosmo ' s nightclub shows , bits and pieces of intentionally awful sketches , as well as cosmo ' s relationships to his \u201cgirls\u201d and his emcee ( a selfdescribed \u201cfreak , \u201d played with good , self\u2010contained desperation by meade roberts , the screen writer .\nthe killing of a chinese bookie made me , like , immediately and deeply unhappy . i ' m not sure if this is the audience arc cassavetes had in mind exactly ( not that it matters what cassavetes had in mind ) , but i started the movie feeling sorry for cosmo . he runs a seedy nightclub and pours himself into it but doesn ' t have the money or the talent or the luck for it to be really special . the clientele all seem more bored by the show than they are titillated . this is largely due to cassaavetes ' s slow pacing and ben\u2026\nthe plague\u2019s freedom , of course , comes at a cost for both human life and a certain type of theatrical representation in which performance and the mechanics of staging are in the service of a re - presentation of a previous text . this is a theatre bound to the authority of the script , a theatre where action and gesture are subordinated to the psychological requirements of character . artaud affirms :\nnext is another portion of an audio interview with john cassavetes , conducted by michael ciment . similar interviews also appear on the discs for a woman under the influence and the killing of a chinese bookie . this 29 - minute segment unsurprisingly concentrates on opening night , and he talks about his personal experiences working in theater and talks about recruiting the film\u0092s audiences . most interestingly , though , is when he talks about the film\u0092s central play . it was incredibly hard to write since it was supposed to be an awful play the actors didn\u0092t want anything to do with , and he had little interest in it . i found it probably the more engaging of all of the audio interviews found in the set .\nthese events follow on from each other in a consecutive pattern , yet what has been lost or curtailed is the motivating connection that could adequately explain how we have come to be where we are , how we get from one point to the next . the various events that push the narrative forward lack a gravitational pull and tend to constantly deviate our attention away from the central drama . ( \u201cnothing remains fixed , and everything becomes ominous\u201d , as rosenbaum said of out one / spectre ) . [ 26 ] deleuze identifies this breakdown in the line or fibre that connects and prolongs events as a defining feature of a certain sector of post wwii american cinema beyond hollywood . in altman\u2019s a wedding ( us 1978 ) , nashville ( us 1975 ) and cassavetes\u2019 the killing of a chinese bookie :\nthe guards don ' t seem to notice him at all and he makes his way into the bookie ' s quarters to find the old man in a hot tub with a younger woman . he waits for her to leave and confronts him when the bookie returns to the hot tub alone . the girl was close by however , and sees him shoot the bookie . the guards come running and he ' s forced to kill some of them on his way out , getting shot himself . he catches a passing bus and heads home then switching taxis as they ' d planned for him . he collapses once inside , but still insists on getting to the club . mort and his people hear that the bookie ' s dead , and are obviously surprised . mort appears angry about it and quite surprised .\n[ a ] fluid space , subject to variations of mood , the feeling of the moment , the unpredictability of the present moment , when a moment of madness could at any time cause the scene to shift and jeopardise the performance and the very idea of performance itself . ( 16 )\nthe 1978 version of bookie and the four other films in the set deliver fantastic digital transfers that look far more film - like in comparison to criterion\u0092s previous dvds of the films . the images are as crisp as possible when the source allows and detail is very high with excellent depth .\nthe \u009276 version of bookie sounds pretty awful . it\u0092s mixed low , near impossible to hear at times , flat , and appallingly edgy . the \u009278 version of the film , along with influence and opening night sound much better , offering a bit more range and fidelity .\nleaving the realm of broken marriages , insane significant others or the bohemian culture of 50s new york city , cassavetes takes to the world of a low - rent strip club owner in la who becomes indebted to a gangster after losing $ 20 , 000 in a card game . with no money to his name and no one looking to help him out with this debt , he is forced to take the life of a chinese bookie with the hopes of clearing his books of the big debt . however , when things are uncovered that prove this alleged hit as something far deeper and far more troubling , lives get put on the line , and what follows is a rather solid , if oddly uninteresting and unwieldy bit of post - noir filmmaking .\nthis perceptual transformation of the world is crucial to the film\u2019s effect and its construction of a specifically cinematic form of theatricality . in terms drawn from the work of jean - louis schefer , deleuze describes the cinema\u2019s capacity to replace the presence of bodies found in theatre with a different type of presence :\nto display the menus for the major areas of the site , click on the tickets below .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nwhat happens ? the movie opens on a schoolyard with girls chanting a jump rope rhyme . on the other side of the fence surrounding the scho . . .\nthe other films , all in colour , are in far better shape . there are shots that do look out of focus , but it\u0092s a condition from the shoot and nothing to do with the transfers . the 1978 version of bookie looks a bit muddy in places ( maybe a condition of all of the low light shooting , ) but otherwise the colours in it and the other colour films look to be gorgeously saturated , with natural skin tones . the colour films also have very little damage present , just a few minor marks .\njust as cassavetes repeatedly took acting roles in movies that were clearly beneath him in order to finance his own work , likewise , to preserve his position , gazarra is forced to put his morals aside and shoot the chinaman . lit by mostly available neon street signs and flares of sunshine in the lens , bookie indulges little of the familiar trappings of the gangster film . vitelli is a law unto himself , much like cassavetes , and it is his dedication to the minutiae of his craft that is afforded the most screen time . his contempt for anything resembling a movie \u2018event\u2019 is particularly evident in a key scene where the hoods tell vitelli how to carry out the killing being shot in almost complete darkness .\na witness who sees all , a guarantee that all has been witnessed by an effectively virtual audience , so that we do not leave the framework of a performance in a truly theatrical sense of the word . ( 87 )\nthese rapid shifts of perspective are an essential part of what jousse refers to as cassavetes\u2019 \u201ccontrapuntal composition\u201d ( 15 ) . we see the production of the second woman from a range of different and often competing perspectives : that of the producer , the audience , the stagehands , the personal dressers , the playwright , the director , the director\u2019s wife and the resentful co - star . as jousse notes , the effect of this composition is to engage the viewer in the tension of the performance , to , in a sense , lift us out of the comfort of our seats and force us to experience something of the confusions , anxieties and competing perspectives which inform the play\u2019s production .\ntrue to cassavetes ' form , the 108 - minute version is not just a simple edit of the 135 - minute version . the order of several scenes has been changed , there are different edits of a few scenes , and there are a few segments unique to the 108 - minute version . the bulk of the cutting in the 1978 version removed many of the nightclub routines that were in the 1976 version .\nthe disc then closes with a series of production galleries , offering on set photos from the shoot , followed by a theatrical trailer .\ncosmo vitelli is the owner of the\ncrazy horse west\nstrip club in las vegas . one night , he loses $ 23 , 000 while playing poker at mort weil ' s place . cosmo doesn ' t have the money to pay his debt to mort and his associates who are mobsters . mort strongly suggests cosmoget even by performing a hit for the mob . all he has to do is to kill a chinese bookmaker downtown . left with no other choices , cosmo kills the man who ' s in fact the head of the chinese triads of the west coast . wounded by a bullet , cosmo comes back to his club only to learn that the mob wants him dead now . however , vitelli goes on presenting the show every night .\ndisc # 1 -

[ 25 ]\ngazzara in a tuxedo the whole time , i ' ll watch that any day of the fucking week .\none of john cassavetes\u2019s loyal troupe of collaborators reminisces about working with the fearless filmmaker .\nthe only disappointing transfer is the 1976 version of bookie . it appears every film in the set received new masters but the 1976 version looks very similar to the previous dvd edition and i suspect it\u0092s the same high - def transfer used for that . it\u0092s much softer and lacks detail in comparison to the \u009278 version here , with close - ups that look fuzzy around edges where they look crisper and cleaner in the \u009278 version . colours are a bit duller and blacks can crush out parts of the image . for me this was the most disappointing aspect of the set\u0092s transfers since i actually prefer the \u009276 cut of the film .\ngentlemen\u2019s club owner cosmo vitelli is a man dedicated to pretenses of composure and self - possession . when he runs afoul of a group of gangsters , cosmo is forced to commit a horrible crime in a last - ditch effort to save his beloved club and his way of life .\na strange , strange little movie ; shot\ncinema verite ,\noften utilizing a hand held camera , and murky lighting . due to the resultant disorientation from the documentary like directorial techniques , and the script ' s rather unorthodox concepts , i wasn ' t quite sure what to make of chinese bookie . but it ' s all so unique , appreciation is the only possible response ( for me , least ) to this film . there just isn ' t anything remotely like it . if you haven ' t seen it , i ' d encourage you to do so . - john fiero\nthe dreams and visions in opening night and love streams serve as a reminder of the proximity of cassavetes\u2019 films to a theatre which \u201creforges the links between what does and does not exist , between the virtual nature of the possible and the material nature of existence\u201d . ( artaud , \u201ctheatre and the plague\u201d , 17 ) this is a type of theatre that \u201ccan only happen the moment the inconceivable really begins , where poetry taking place on stage nourishes and superheats created symbols\u201d .

( \u2026 ) essentially the cinema reveals a whole occult life with which it puts us directly into contact . [ 23 ]\nthe disc then closes with a couple of standards , including a stills gallery with photos from the workshop , the filming and premiere of shadows , as well as photos from the score recording session and then posters from around the world for cassavetes\u0092 films ( these posters were originally included on the constant forge dvd as a supplement . ) a 3 - minute theatrical trailer closes off the disc .\nterrence malick ' s days of heaven , the long - awaited follow - up to his 1973 debut badlands , confirmed his reputation as a visual poet and narrative iconoclast with a story of love and murder told through the jaded voice of a child and expressive . . .\neven with the bare outlines provided by what is already known , however , it is still possible to piece together a history of mutual relations out of which emerges an understanding of cinematic writing defined in and through a relationship to the stage \u2013 the stage as both a physical place and as the catalyst for a scenario carried through into the cinema . in terms of the films themselves , this consciousness of the stage as a generator for the fiction is reflected in the way cassavetes builds into his scripts situations in which the various life crises of his characters are structured around , and framed by , questions of performance and theatricality . in a comparison between cassavetes and orson welles ( for whom theatre - and - cinema also forms a constant refrain ) , rosenbaum observes :\nwhen cosmo arrives at the bookie\u2019s house , the camera travels through a series of exits , corridors and doorways following cosmo but also at times seeming to lose him in the maze . eventually the camera stumbles upon an old man contently humming to himself and splashing around in a large communal bath . for a time the film seems to forget about cosmo , intent instead to observe the playful behavior of the old man . when the old man moves to a different bath in an adjoining room , he glances a number of times in the general direction of where we assume cosmo is standing , without registering his presence . when he finally acknowledges cosmo\u2019s presence , the old man blinks hard as if trying to assure himself that what he is seeing is not a ghost . the only verbal contact between the two occurs just before the old man is shot , when he mumbles in a barely audible tone , \u201ci\u2019m real bad . i\u2019m so sorry\u201d .\nat first it seems as if nancy has been conjured into being by myrtle as a device for the performance \u2013 an attempt to \u201cstay in touch\u201d with a set of emotions that are fast receding and a way of transforming the scenario of aging and passivity built into the role of virginia . what quickly becomes apparent , however , is the danger of such conjurings , registered in the dead fan\u2019s brutal actions and myrtle\u2019s equally violent , final response . as myrtle is pummeled by nancy , the threat of madness that hovers over her struggle with the role of virginia is steered away from a question of psychological crisis to one of physical disintegration . despite myrtle\u2019s assurances that she has created nancy and can make her appear and disappear at will , opening night never resolves the issue of myrtle\u2019s relation to the dead fan or the place of this apparition in relation to the rest of the film .\nteenagers in a small town are dropping like flies , apparently in the grip of mass . . .\ntracing cassavetes\u2019s schooling and early career before giving a chapter on each of the films , attention is also paid to cassavetes\u2019s relationship with gena rowlands\u2014and the ways in which the two worked together . charity additionally explores posthumous productions of cassavetes\u2019s un -

[ 22 ]\nfounded in 1999 , senses of cinema is one of the first online film journals of its kind and has set the standard for professional , high quality film - related content on the internet .\nit is an intoxicating vision of the function of criticism ; the only problem is that , in the rush to significance , the actual ways artistic language operates get forgotten . works of genius are not explainable in terms of a series of generic cultural meanings . shakespeare is not synonymous with the elizabethan world view ; in fact , the power and wonder of his work begin where cultural descriptions of it end . great artists inflect and comment upon the systems of expression into which they are born\u0097they do not merely repeat them in their work .\na large gambling debt forces cosmo to meet a group of local wise guys ( seymour cassel , morgan woodward , timothy carey , robert phillips , john kullers ) who demand that he immediately pays what he owes if he wishes to continue running the club . when cosmo confesses to them that he does not have the money , they offer him a ' reasonable ' deal : if cosmo agrees to kill an influential chinese gangster for them , they will forget about his gambling debt . at first cosmo rejects the deal , but after one of the wise guys , a bubbly regular at the club , bruises his ribs , he changes his mind . another wise guy then gives him a gun and a stolen car .\nthis film works on a number of levels that challenge the viewer . on the one hand , the cinema - verite technique of the visuals , reminiscent of raoul coutard (\nbreathless\n) , really dials us into the life of cosmo . cassavetes delivers him as he is : a freewheeling , caring guy trying to make his nightclub a go without exploiting the girls who work for him . on the other , the plot , a meandering set of tableaus that toy with clich\u00e9 but never give into them , gives the viewer an opportunity to escape the authoritarian conventions of mainstream cinema . cassavetes isn ' t worried about masking real time precisely because his characters come to life in it . one of the finest\norganic\nfilms ever made ; a seemingly naturally paced film about real people bracketed by the aesthetic codes of the film noir genre . very impressive .\nthis marks , at least within this five films box set that criterion so wonderfully upgraded to blu - ray late last month , the point in cassavetes\u2019 career where , at least aesthetically , the director began getting in his own way . featuring only a handful of truly memorable shots and some of the least inspired photography in any of cassavetes\u2019 films ( there is actually no cinematography credit found on this film ) , the film lacks much of the energy of his earlier work , or even the unbridled energy found within many of the final frames of the film that came prior to this , a woman under the influence . despite a score that keeps the film afloat and pace chugging along , the best thing that can be said about the film visually is that cassavetes has a way with crafting an ever evolving film that has rarely been matched . at its best , the film is a slow burn of a neo - noir . oddly lyrical in its pacing , the film builds and , as previously mentioned , evolves continuously starting out as a character study and making its way to the realm of pure crime noir . with the central hit being one of the best and most vital moments of the film , the picture takes a decided turn following , only to find its stride for a wonderfully kinetic final act ."]}

but without a discernible narrative , comprehensible character motivations , or a thematic thread to latch onto , \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d merely whimpers with unfocused gloom .\nand , as another aside , speaking of precious , one noteworthy factoid ; correcting what we all believed when it was made public that she had a role in the film , gabourey sidibe actually got the part in yelling to the sky before most of us even knew about lee daniels\u2019 adaptation of sapphire\u2019s novel . we long believed that gabourey\u2019s participation in yelling to the sky was due in some part to her performance in precious . not quite the case .\nsubscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken yelling to the sky official trailer # 1 ( 2012 ) - gabourey sidibe ,

. it felt cathartic watching .\nyelling\nis a prosaic look at a hard life . like sweetness , the movie finds its way by instinct .\nwhat i came to realize , hours after i first screened the film , was that , the initial unexplainable reaction i felt in watching it , was more akin to numbness \u2013 a numbness that was brought on by the assault on the senses and emotions that yelling to the sky is ; but that\u2019s actually a good thing , so stay with me here for a little bit .\nwriter - director victoria mahoney\u2019s film aims for rawness , shining a harsh spotlight on an underprivileged teen\u2019s desperate search for parental acceptance and personal dignity . but \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d is a mess . it\u2019s a structural shambles , as if the bleakest footage from the

sky ' - a queens chronicle that ' s a little too lifelike writer - director victoria mahoney marries her experiences as a biracial woman to the drama of an unstable family in y elling to the sk y . critic mark jenkins says the film , which stars zoe kravtiz as a troubled teen , struggles to build convincing relationships among its disadvantaged characters .\naustin \u2014 an elliptical portrait of at - risk youth where little if anything is unambiguous , victoria mahoney \u2019s yelling to the sky drips with a strange but sometimes moving nostalgia for environs its characters clearly want to escape . its artful indirectness leaves enough gaps to present commercial difficulties , but the right kind of attention on the fest circuit could support an art - house run .\nnew yorkers ! you should feel privileged to have all of the cool events and showcases right at your fingertips . victoria mahoney\u2019s yelling to the sky is screening tomorrow , august 25th at lincoln center\u2019s walter reade theatre . the director and gabourey sidibe will be in the house and you\u2019ll be treated to some yummy bites from whole foods to keep you going . you may remember seeing the trailer that we posted here back in april , and now is your chance to see the story unfold in person .\nsure , some people may find yelling to the sky bleak or hopeless . it\u2019s heartbreaking to watch sweetness spiral out of control . sweetness clamors to escape , to break free . yet there\u2019s nowhere to go . echoing real - life , the film ends with ambiguity and uncertainty . you don\u2019t know how her life will turn out . sweetness\u2019 story \u2013 her struggle to survive amidst the chaos swirling around her , desperate to cling to any semblance of community \u2013 is one worth telling . and it\u2019s one we don\u2019t see often enough .\nyelling to the sky struck a visceral chord with me . i related to it in a way i often don\u2019t with films . i\u2019m not a biracial woman growing up impoverished , who turns to selling drugs as a means of survival . but i grew up with an absent father and a single mother struggling with mental illness , feeling trapped by my surroundings , desperate to break free .\nall this leaves little for the actors to play\u2014they are only directed to scowl , glare intensely at the ground , and occasionally cry . meanwhile , the camera lingers on a pot of gravy , or hands at the dinner table , or just the sky , in a misguided attempt to impart importance to the mundane . as sweetness casually dishes drugs to neighborhood kids , the schizo music shifts from indie guitar strumming to hardcore hip - hop . are we in \u201cdawson\u2019s creek\u201d or \u201cgirlz n the hood\u201d ?\nthe ambitions of indie coming - of - age drama \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d must be admired . set within a violent , lower - class suburb , it explores how a fractured home life nearly destroys teenager sweetness o\u2019hara ( zo\u00eb kravitz ) . with a verbally and physically abusive dad ( jason clarke ) , a mom ( yolonda ross ) made comatose by depression , and peers ( including gabourey sidibe ) who routinely beat her to a pulp , sweetness decides the only way to survive is to deal drugs .\nthe movie includes several fistfights , a shooting and a drug bust , plus a shoplifting montage that crackles with teenage recklessness . like the hip - hop tunes that punctuate the alt - pop and faux - classical soundtrack , these moments provide lively counterpoint . they also foreshadow showdowns and comeuppances that never quite arrive . perhaps the clearest evidence that yelling to the sky is based on mahoney ' s own life is that the movie lets its most troubled characters off pretty easy .\nyelling to the sky is a searing portrayal of one girl\u2019s pain . of her frustration at being confined and trapped in a world not her choosing . sweetness doesn\u2019t focus on her education or her future . she deals with the immediacy of her pain . she starts selling drugs as a way to make money . she numbs herself with drugs , alcohol and surrounding herself with a cadre of bullies and drug dealers . sweetness desperately yearns to escape . but where to ? where can she go ?\nwith zoe kravitz playing a character named sweetness and gabourey sidibe in a supporting role , street - chastened , queens - set coming - of - ager \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d will be hard - pressed to avoid comparisons to \u201cprecious . \u201d truth be told , writer - director - producer victoria mahoney\u2019s semi - autobiographical debut feels like a cup - half - full response to that bleak inner - city fable , with a stunningly beautiful fair - skinned black teen [ \u2026 ]\nhere\u2019s the info below , and click here to see the official event site .\nand given the roller - coaster of emotions the 90 - minute yelling to the sky is , from one extreme to another , the numbness i felt immediately after seeing the film made total sense ! but that\u2019s obviously a personal response than a universal one . i tend to \u201cshut down\u201d after experiencing something so intense \u2013 or as i already deemed it , an assault on the senses . call it a defense mechanism . it\u2019s like you\u2019ve been emotionally \u201cexposed\u201d by a piece of art , as it\u2019s able to force itself inside of you , and reach places that you\u2019d normally keep shielded . and thus , the immediate reaction there is to create this wall that\u2019s meant to keep the \u201cintruder\u201d ( the film ) out . hence , the numbness / shutting down .\nwhile light - skinned biracial and black women possess privilege , they may also face a backlash and be deemed not \u201c black enough . \u201d while the jarring opening scene of yelling to the sky certainly alludes to this , it is never explored further . instead , the film resorts to racial stereotypes : \u201c dark ( er ) - skinned black people are mean and like to victimize light ( er ) - skinned black people , \u201d \u201cgirls / teenagers / women who are \u201cauthentically\u201d black are bad\u201d and \u201cinterracial relationships are dysfunctional . \u201d\nin time , despite the violence and its threat , sweetness flounders into a sense of self in a movie that can feel as if it\u2019s undergoing a similar painful metamorphosis . \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d can be frustrating , especially when sweetness takes up with some mean girls from school . as an outsider wanting in , her motivations feel true , but ms . mahoney\u2019s ideas about her and this movie are fuzzier .\nthe vision of a pregnant woman beating a man until he\u2019s bloody is hard to shake , and it\u2019s the kind of startling , punctuating image that speaks to ms . mahoney\u2019s strengths in this film . \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d is at once a coming - of - age story and a kitchen - sink drama , mostly though , it\u2019s a mood piece and suggests the influence of filmmakers like terence davies and charles burnett . not much happens in story terms , but the film swirls with emotions that make it by turns grim and amusing , heavy and light , obvious and vague .\nthe former flotus also explained to ellen degeneres how barack stepped in and saved the day .\nbut the moment snaps into focus when another woman , ola , raging and yelling , begins beating the man attacking sweetness , climbing on his body to punch him again and again as the crowd surges excitedly around them . when this fury is finally pulled off the attacker , her pregnant belly juts out , defiant as a fist .\nhe said it didn ' t appear to be a tomahawk missile and said it would be safest to wait for definitive answers to come from the military .\nsweetness o\u2019hara , the quiet teenager at the center of the american independent movie \u201cyelling to the sky , \u201d lives in a small house that seems even smaller when her father is raging through it . as played by the young actress zo\u00eb kravitz , sweetness moves through life like a leaf in the wind . she drifts and scatters and at times gets caught underfoot , including by a gang of local bullies . every so often , though , she faces down a more frightening , confusing antagonist , her father , gordon ( jason clarke ) , a violent drunk whose menace overruns his erratic charm .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nenter your

navigate . my mother was preoccupied by her own problems . i never knew what i was walking into when i went home . so i focused on the future . i clung to the hope that one day things would be different . that was the sole reason i survived . it\u2019s the one thing that kept me going . while my mind was fixated on the future , my actions were grounded in the present . like sweetness , i skipped classes and almost didn\u2019t graduate high school for i wanted to numb my pain . it\u2019s this delicate dance of present angst and future hopes that mahoney captures so well .\ntheir goal

after he falls for a young woman from philadelphia .\nsara colangelo\u2019s little accidents is one of the more arresting shorts on the festival circuit at the moment , both immediate and restrained in its tale of a woman working in a massachusetts soda drink factory who fears that she\u2019s become pregnant . she recruits her mentally disabled ex - boyfriend to shoplift a pregnancy test for her and bonds again with him as she struggles with what to do . \u201ci was interested in the juxtaposition of two people , one of whom is recently disabled and trying to reintegrate himself into society and who is the stable one , and the other a woman who may be pregnant and who is spinning out of control , \u201d colangelo says . \u201cand i was interested in the factory setting , which is almost a metaphor for motherhood . through the course of the short , you slowly realize that these people have a past , and that they dated once . i\u2019m always interested in withholding information from the audience . it becomes more interesting for them that way ; it gets their wheels turning . \u201d\nthe result is inevitably didactic , but also poetic in its choice of seemingly nonessential details , as in a scene that finds sweetness helping her father stitch up a bleeding head wound . these moments , like the colorful , cluttered house sweetness inhabits , feel lived - in enough to be lifted directly from mahoney\u2019s own experience and promise to linger in our memories long after the occasional awkwardness involved in conveying them onscreen is forgotten .\nit could be a test firing of

generational tale , the first novel from the israeli writer shifra horn , the family tree is a gnarled and hearty mulberry that grows in the yard of sara , the narrator & apos ; s great - grandmother . sara , whose long shining hair was like a & apos ; & apos ; radiant halo , & apos ; & apos ; is at the center of this narrative , translated deftly from the hebrew by dalya bilu , in which folklore , mystery and fantasy mingle with 100 years of history in the closely knit neighborhoods of jerusalem . this is not the kind of magic realism in which characters fly , yet the lives of horn & apos ; s female characters are punctuated with unlikely coincidences and otherworldly powers . sara is celebrated throughout the city for her homemade rose water , which can alleviate pain , end infertility , mend the soul and more ; women line up outside her home for her guidance as a healer and seer . sara & apos ; s daughter , pnina - mazal , is able to understand almost every language , including the sounds made by her mentally impaired brother . all the mothers are independent and colorful and , in what seems to be a family curse , each is deserted by her husband soon after marriage . there & apos ; s a quiet joy among the women when amal , the youngest , gives birth to a son ; they recognize that this bleak legacy may be broken . as though she had been living only for that moment , sara , whose age is & apos ; & apos ; a day and a night , & apos ; & apos ; dies . soon after , the mulberry tree dies too . another is planted and flourishes at sara & apos ; s grave , crowded with visitors , ever fragrant with the smell of roses .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ? enter your email address and we ' ll send you instructions on how to access your account .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\nthis is the same group carrying the movie as before . however , there is a problem with this particular script . it ' s what the writers did this time . . . .\nleonard maltin classic movie guide , copyright 2005 , 2010 . used by arrangement with penguin group ( usa ) inc .\ntm & \u00a9 2018 turner classic movies , inc . a time warner company . all rights reserved . code of conduct for this site | press room | privacy policy | | terms of use\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\na showgirl stranded in a wyoming town ends up being hired as a maid at a ranch .\nteddy shaw , a bored new york office girl , goes to a camp in the catskill mountains for rest and finds chick kirkland .\nmaisie ravier finds herself stranded in an arizona ghost town with a family of migrant dust bowl refugees . the ghost town , it turns out , may have a gold mine .\ndirectors : edwin l . marin , j . walter ruben , and 1 more credit \u00bb\na phonetics and diction expert makes a bet that he can teach a cockney flower girl to speak proper english and pass as a lady in high society .\ntom collier has had a great relationship with daisy , but when he decides to marry , it is not daisy whom he asks , it is cecelia . after the marriage , tom is bored with the social scene and . . . see full summary \u00bb\nstreet -

the strongest story is about sara ( great grandmother ) from her pitiful mother to the the great granddaughter who sara believes has broken the curse over their family . it is a riveting story full of history re : jerusalem , the people and customs .\nwhile each individual story of each woman is well - done , the threads between these strong characters are thinly stretched , as if each generation lived almost in isolation from the others . still , powerful characters and it is always interesting to read a story that is grounded in a place i am interested in but do not know well .\nalthough i really liked another one of this author ' s books ( ode to joy ) , this one didn ' t do anything for me . it ' s the story of five generations of women in a family in jerusalem . women in this family somehow have been\ncursed\nwith losing their husbands , one way or another , when they have daughters . for me the story became tedious .\nthis has been sitting in my bookcase for ages . ages and years . and it was wonderful , chock full of my favorite things : generational stories , magical realism , judaism , and a fairy tale feel . the only thing it needed was an epistolary chapter , and i would ' ve declared it perfect . ; )\neh . it ' s ok . bought in irael because it is a novel about 4 generations of israeli women . . . eh . it ' s ok .\ni have to agree with another reviewer , it was good but there was no real point . it also ended with no real closure on the story .\nthe liked the book for its portrait of strong women , reminded me of the movie practical magic .\namazing book that empowers women . glad i came across this author to review for my blog . the book was amazing . i couldn ' t put it down .\nset in jerusalem , this book deals with the lives of 5 generations of women . beautifully written , this author is the jewish equivalent of isabel allende .\nsomething may have gone astray with translation from hebrew ; found a few words missing and unusual uses but the story captivates , like a fairytale .\nmagical realism is always among my favourites . a beautiful story which made me swept away .\nthere are no discussion topics on this book yet . be the first to start one \u00bb\nshifra horn was born in tel aviv . she lives in the old malcha neighbourhood of jerusalem and in auckland new zealand . after majoring in bible studies and archeology -

' ' mr . devore will direct as well .\nit suggests the nsa is aware that it doesn\u2019t hold a strong position in the war for public opinion , as indicated by the abrupt swing in the polls away from a pro - surveillance , do - whatever - it - takes - to - keep - us - \u201csafe\u201d mentality .\nit highlights the siamese twin connection between u . s . counterinsurgency campaigns abroad and the metastasis of the domestic surveillance regime\u2014which , with a nod to an earlier era , we could reasonably call the \u201cbringing the war back home\u201d effect ( also potentially in play with the use of drone technology ) .\ndirty grandpa\nboasts one great thing , and one great thing only . the chemistry between robert deniro and zac efron is much better than i was expecting it to be , and i really bought into their troubled relationship which each other . on the verge of marriage , jason kelly ( efron ) and his grandfather set out on a trip to florida once his wife passes away . at it ' s core , this film is here to explore these characters emotionally as the audience watches them take their wacky trip . self discovery and choosing what is right and wrong in life is what the message is here , and whether or not i bought into that is another story . i admired the attempt at something heartfelt , but when all of your humour is raunchy dialogue and visuals , it is hard to take a moment to enjoy the nice moments .\ndirty grandpa\ntries way too hard to impress it ' s target audience , and becomes a sloppily made comedy that really is not all that funny . in the end , i admired the attempt , but the execution was a little much for my taste . it really is a shame , because i love this cast , but they were not given enough to do . i did not hate sitting in the theatre watching this , but was it really worth the time ? sadly no .\nthis is funny , in its way . but the puny dimensions of the father ' s rhetoric are a little heartbreaking too . the truly thunderous phrases in\nthe plot against america ,\nat least in its earlier sections , belong instead to lindbergh and his supporters . and the most powerful is this , the republican campaign slogan of 1940 :\nvote for lindbergh or vote for war .\nlindbergh is , after all , the dove , and roosevelt , the hawk , in the election that year - - though roth scrupulously clings to the 1940 ' s terminology of\nisolationist\nand\ninternationalist .\neven the newark jews , some of them , fall prey to the isolationist logic , not to mention republican political pressure , after a while . a big - shot pro - lindbergh rabbi acknowledges that , yes , the jews of europe are suffering grievously under hitler . but won ' t things get even worse if america enters the war ? won ' t the jews of america end up suffering as well , not to mention america as a whole ? aren ' t the american jews making themselves ridiculous in their panic over anti - semitism , when lindbergh is , at bottom , a decent man with honorable goals ?\nthe 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 .\na small revolution breaks out in a small argentine town , as one group of peronists calls they newly elected peronist a communist . the newly elected official enlists the aid of allies ranging from the town drunk to young peronists to help hold his post . what follows is a slapstick war with a serious message .\nwhat then is to be expected when it comes to the conflict with isis in iraq , the complex , multi - faceted syrian civil war , and america\u2019s longest war of all in afghanistan ? all signs point to more of the same . open up a newspaper or check out a relevant website and you\u2019ll find , for example , that u . s . afghan commander general john nicholson wants a new mini - surge of american troops dispatched into that country , while the u . s . commander in the fight against isis , general stephen townsend , may require yet more ground troops to \u201cwin\u201d in iraq and syria .\n' ' i believe in first - time directors , ' ' ms . gottlieb said , noting she had given first directing assignments to emile ardolino on ' ' dirty dancing , ' ' to tony bill on ' ' the ransom of red chief ' ' and to joan micklin silver on ' ' the immigrant experience , ' ' a forerunner of ' ' hester street . ' '\nnott rolled a natural 1 when trying to make acid in her chemistry set . matt said that a little splashed on her glove , so she dropped it all on the floor , where it started making a hole in the wood until caleb woke up from frumpkin the sparrow and transmuted it into iron .\nsome of these failures are mainly from over charging hand made rounds that exceed the firearms standard . range safety seems to have gone out the window too . this just ain ' t funny folks i ' ve observed too many\nclose calls\nas a safety nco in both the navy and army reserves and the after action activity ' s were far from hilarious .\nbut even the official pro - surge story ( one part steadfast resolve of george w . bush , war president ; one part counterinsurgency brilliance of gen . david petraeus ; and one part civic \u201cawakening\u201d that turned the sunni triangle against al qaeda ) was and is completely vague on how those epic virtues halted the ied epidemic .\nwe all know what our war memorial is affectionately called by residents but we can ' t print it here because the local rsl will be on the phone accusing us of being disrespectful . and we all know why it ' s called that by warrnamboolians . but we ain ' t explaining it here . you all know .\nthese examples obviously don\u2019t imply that no general ever gave solid advice or that civilians weren\u2019t perfectly capable of concocting their own hare - brained war - making schemes . rather , the point is to deflate - - just a bit - - the present all - too - popular notion of american military infallibility , or at least superiority .\npresidents deserve and require such real options . too often , however , especially in this country\u2019s 15 - year \u201cwar on terror\u201d across the greater middle east and parts of africa , senior military leaders have failed to present plausible , achievable choices to the commander - in - chief . nearly all of them haveproved to be \u201cmore\u201d guys .\nit\u2019s funny , though , people sometimes ask me now , \u201cwhat\u2019s really going on in afghanistan ? \u201d they ask the same question about iraq , where i led a unit back in 2006 - 2007 . i mean , the implication is : if you served over there , unlike those ( liberal ! ) pundits and politicians who regularly mouth off on the subject , who would know better ? but i\u2019ve learned over the years that what they don\u2019t want to hear is my real answer to such questions , so i rarely bother to tell them that historians , analysts , and thoughtful critics , even ones who haven\u2019t been within thousands of miles of our war zones , probably understand the \u201cbig picture\u201d better than most soldiers .\nthis was in the peak of peace and love , but it was also at the peak when everything fell apart like crazy . there was such a war going on then between the hippies and the straight world ; and straight didn\u2019t mean heterosexual \u2026 it meant you didn\u2019t smoke pot or you didn\u2019t think the revolution was going to happen .\neveryone loves telling you about how great things were at the long - gone rock venues of warrnambool . of course , no one actually tells you that they were dirty , sticky dives where the threat of alcohol - fuelled violence loomed large . mind you , the bands were awesome . remember that time split enz / men at work / the living end / george / rollerball played in warrnambool ? epic .\n' ' there ' s something special about them , ' ' ms . gottlieb said of the novices . ' ' i believe in scripts and somebody who brings a vision to the project . gary ' s personality is very much in the script . it ' s very much the way he is as a person - irreverently funny , with a great , warm heart underneath . ' '\nvery little . that comes from the fact that the thing has already been at work inside me . when i see the rough drafts of certain of my friends , where everything is revised , everything\u2019s changed , moved around , there are arrows all over the place . . . no no no . my manuscripts are very clean .\nwhat this country needs right now are civilian leaders who think strategically , exude confidence , and aren\u2019t afraid to challenge military advice . appropriate respect for senior servicemen shouldn\u2019t mean either impulsive adulation or timid apprehension . civilian policymakers haven\u2019t always been right , but since world war ii , the generals have the weaker ( and far more hair - raising ) record .\ni don\u2019t care . i\u2019ve never met him and i hope i never do . i always said as a joke that bill [ clinton ] probably did see pink flamingos \u2013 and hillary probably did not . at the time , bill seemed a little bit more adventuresome , maybe on wanting to see weird stuff . i could be wrong !\nadmittedly we don ' t know where this originated from but it ' s definitely a rule . anyone who calls them\nparty pies\nin warrnambool gets looked at funny and then corrected ( and rightly so ) . and while we ' re talking about pies , you ' re either a clarkes lover or a chitticks lover . it ' s warrnambool ' s equivalent to the beatles / stones question .\nthe very earliest novel by a jewish author to leave a mark on the wider literature of the united states was a lyrical album of new york street scenes called\njews without money ,\nby michael gold , a bighearted and small - brained\nproletarian\nwriter from the communist party , in 1930 . gold , in this book , had already lit on the idea of writing about himself as a fictional little boy . the idea may have come to him from reading isaac babel or other writers , probably in yiddish , who had been dabbling in autobiographical childhood fictions , back in the old world . gold ' s inspiration was to chronicle the adventures of little\nmikey gold\nfrom ages 5 to 12 , as viewed in sorrowful retrospect by his adult self . the plot , to the degree that\njews without money\nhas a plot , shows little mikey roaming around the lower east side , circa 1900 , growing an inch at a time and slowly discovering that his beloved father , coincidentally named herman , is merely a humble man of puny strength - - a stout - hearted father overwhelmed by powerful anti - semitic social forces , and berated by his superior , the jewish doctor , for failing to bow before his christian oppressors . and what was michael gold ' s purpose in sending little mikey around the jewish streets to make this childhood discovery ?\nsouth park \u2018s major problem with family guy is the insert gag . in \u201ccartoon wars , \u201d the fictional episode of family guy seems to be a string of ( uncharitably flat ) cutaway jokes that do not relate to the narrative action . for south park , these gags are not funny because they are \u201crandom , \u201d not because the joke isn\u2019t funny . the \u201crandomness\u201d interrupts the diegetic reality of the central emotional narrative of the episode by diverting the plot ( momentarily ) into a parallel universe without a causal or physical relationship with the narrative universe . since the jokes can never change the circumstances of the central narrative , they are without emotional weight . the audience is not permitted to relate to these gags as anything other than cleverness . it is the narrative equivalent of a stand - up monologue , rather than improv theatre .\nconsider , for instance , afghanistan in 2009 . things had been going poorly indeed in what was already an eight - year - old war . and so our nation turned its lonely eyes to him - - general stanley mcchrystal , a special operator fresh off a tour tracking down and killing al - qaeda in iraq\u2019s leadership , including abu musab al - zarqawi .\nthe anti - semitism roth describes in the 1940 ' s springs mostly from an antiwar resentment - - from the belief that the jews , and not the nazis , bear responsibility for the war , and are trying to advance their own narrow interests at everyone else ' s expense . and perhaps a bit of this has likewise turned up in our own time . during the last two or three years , large publics in western europe and even in the united states have taken up the view that , if extremist political movements have swept across large swaths of the muslim world , and if baathists and radical islamists have slaughtered literally millions of people during these last years , and then have ended up at war with the united states , israel and its crimes must ultimately be to blame . and if america has been drawn into war in iraq , it is because president bush ' s second - level foreign policy advisers include a few jews ( though all of his top - level advisers are protestants ) , and these second - level figures have manipulated everyone else to the bidding of ariel sharon .\nthe military in latin america , they\u2019re the ones who make me work harder . if they get out , if there were a change , then i could rest a little and work on poems and stories that are exclusively literary . but it\u2019s they who give me work to do . the more they are there , the more i must be against them .\nsure , we only go there once a year ( folkie ! ) and we refuse to drink the water , but port fairy is like our cool little cousin who ' s fun to hang around with but we only see at christmas time . and secretly we all want to retire there ( but none of us will be able to afford it ) .\nlincoln in washington , months after he decided to grow a beard and soon after the civil war began in 1861 . frederick h . meserve\nunderstood the value in keeping his images away from any type of light ,\nsaid his great - great - grandson peter . many were kept in closets and boxes .\nsome prints have never seen the light of day .\nbefore arndt wrote little miss sunshine , he held down a job as matthew broderick\u2019s personal assistant . he eventually quit to focus on his writing , and it paid off big time . after winning an academy award for his very first script , he went on to pen the screenplays for toy story 3 , inside out , and star wars : the force awakens .\nmajor danny sjursen is a u . s . army strategist and former history instructor at west point . he served tours with reconnaissance units in iraq and afghanistan . he has written a memoir and critical analysis of the iraq war , ghostriders of baghdad : soldiers , civilians , and the myth of the surge . he lives with his wife and four sons near fort leavenworth , kansas .\nthe directors spent several months attending child beauty pageants as research for the film . so when they were finally ready to shoot , they asked actual contestants they had met to play olive\u2019s rivals in the fictional \u201clittle miss sunshine\u201d competition . those contestants included eight - year - old girls like maliah hudson , who had been a fixture of the pageant circuit since she was an infant .\nproducer peter saraf\u2019s niece rebecca annitto played an extra in the movie , but she sadly never got to see the final print . the teenager died in a car accident before little miss sunshine was completed . but the editors included a sweet shout - out to her in the end credits that reads , \u201cin loving memory of rebecca annitto , a true beauty inside and out . \u201d\nin general , no , because as i was explaining , the story is already made somewhere inside me . so , it has its dimension , its structure , it\u2019s going to be a very short story or a fairly long story , all that is as if decided in advance . but in recent years i\u2019ve started to sense some problems . i reflect more in front of the page . i write more slowly . and i write in a way that\u2019s more spare . certain critics have reproached me for that , they\u2019ve told me that little by little i\u2019m losing that suppleness in my stories . i say what i want to , but with a greater economy of means . i don\u2019t know if it\u2019s for better or worse . in any case , it\u2019s my way of writing now .\ninventor : percy spencer year : 1946 what happened : with the end of world war ii , the raytheon engineer was looking for other uses for the magnetron , which generated the microwaves for radar systems . while spencer was standing next to the device one day , a chocolate bar in his pocket melted . big discovery : the magnetron worked even better on popcorn . as a result : orville redenbacher became very rich .\nas with\ngirls , girls , girls and guns\ni can see where some could only see the humor and totally miss the life altering / life ending results of poor range safety , regardless of where the range happened to be and nothing said of the complete idiots who were not killed in this video and i can ' t understand why . i ' m a vietnam era veteran , i ' ve been involved in gun safety since long before basic in 1964 . starting in 1972 , after discharge , law enforcement and i have slept , ate , drank , and wept over an\naccidental discharge\nof a weapon when no such thing as\naccidental\nexists .\nunintended\n, maybe . yes , this video has some really funny stuff , belly slapping in fact . what was the soldier firing that put him on his rear end ? looked a little like the yet to be fielded xm25 counter defilade target engagement system ? and the vehicle mounted machine gun barrel falling off . no , not a bit funny in a combat situation but for this video , yes . what was it anyway , a 60 ? the leo training officer discharging a round in front of a class ! that was a classic when i was teaching classes how to change their vocabulary , never refer to any gun as unloaded , anywhere , anytime . it really is that simple .\nriding around in an old vw bus with a motivational speaker , an angsty teen , a depressed proust scholar , and a surly grandpa sounds like a terrible time . but little miss sunshine managed to turn the hoover family road trip into a delightful experience . in honor of the indie darling\u2019s 10 -

fashioned script by lukas heller and nunnally johnson and fashioned the dirty dozen into one of mgm ' s biggest moneymakers of the 1960s - - and the sixth highest - grossing film in the studio ' s history . lee marvin plays major reisman , assigned to coordinate a suicide mission on a french chateau held by top nazi officers . since no\nnormal\ngi can be expected to volunteer for this mission , reisman is compelled to draw his personnel from a group of military prisoners serving life sentences . this\ndirty dozen\nincludes a sex pervert ( telly savalas ) , a psycho ( john cassavetes ) , a retarded killer ( donald sutherland ) , and the equally malevolent charles bronson , trini lopez , jim brown , and clint walker . on the dim promise of receiving pardons if they survive , the criminals undergo a brutal training program , then are marched behind enemy lines dressed as nazi soldiers , the better to overtake the chateau and kill everyone in it - - including the innocent wives and mistresses of the german officers . ~ hal erickson , rovi\nas a bonus dividend , the nsa\u2019s information operations specialists ( what the non - militarized world calls \u201cflacks\u201d ) may suspect the agency\u2019s critics on the senate intelligence committee are less familiar with the details of its iraq war spying record than they are with the finer points of stellar wind , prism , mainway , marina ad nauseam , and are thus less likely to call them out on any clapperesque \u201cmistakes . \u201d ( but that\u2019s pure speculation on my part , obviously . )\ninstead , they did what they were meant to do and boxed the young president into an escalatory corner , a \u201cmore\u201d decision being not just the commander\u2019s favored but only course of action . obama grumbled and then sent mcchrystal his reinforcements . it sounded like iraq 2006 -

eve nakliyat e\u015fya depolama\ndr dharmasena pathiraja was branded as a left bank ( wam ivura ) filmmaker in the 70s decade . his cinema mainly revolved around urban middle - class youth who challenge a prevailing capitalist socio - political system .\na clan of then youthful actors comprising vijeya kumaratunga , wimal kumar de costa , daya tennakoon , w jayasiri , amarasiri kalansooriya and malini fonseka in pathi\u2019s films portrayed staggeringly , distressed youth who are deprived of many privileges let alone sex .\na . prasanna vithanage has suggested h d premasiri to entrust the project with me . when premasiri approached me , i read the book by chamminda welagedera and was fascinated by it .\nthe story revolves around \u2018rajakari\u2019 system prevailed in the colonial era in this country . it has many ingredients that are in harmony with my political ideology . thus it stimulated the passion in me to indulge in another film direction .\ni told chamminda to write a screenplay on his story . we had two to three drafts written and i was happy with the final outcome .\nproducer premasiri is very different . he was too good . he gave me fullest freedom to select my cast , handle finances and direct the film . he is a person who respects one\u2019s professionalism .\nq . prasidini athapaththu portrays the role of rathi exceptionally well in the film . how did you find her\na . i wanted to cast in the lead role of rathi , a romantic and sexy looking female who also possesses traditional intellectual looks .\nwe came to know about prasadini athapaththu while interviews were progressing and we screen tested her . kelaniya university has bestowed her with intellectual looks and she proved well for the character . in chamminda\u2019s novel , rathi is a very romantic yet somewhat tamed character .\na . i wanted to project this cinema as a historical social drama . thus the veteran donald karunaratne handled the camera to blend with the flow of the story being told .\nrhythm was set according the narrative . from the very first shot we maintained this rhythm of camera .\nif you noticed the end scene , the gunman with the gun in his hand walks towards an unknown destination while the pererahera is on its procession .\n1918 rebellion was unsuccessful . but our struggle for freedom evolved with time and we won the freedom struggle in 1948 . the perahera continues to be held . rest is food for thought .\na . some call my films ahas gawwa , paara digae and mathuyam dawasa a trilogy . a filmmaker does not necessarily have to stick to one particular genre to position him .\nwhat is important is to use the most appropriate rhythm to make a particular cinema . the political ideology or vision is a deep thought which is part and parcel with the creation as a whole . when you enjoy the cinema these values are automatically inculcated within you .\nq . your cinema discusses politics in its deepest sense and never is political slogans . how was this filmmaker nurtured within you over the decades\na . at the time we started making films , critiques used to categorize filmmakers to their whims and fancies . that\u2019s how i was branded as a left - bank ( wam ivura ) filmmaker . yet my political ideology too was socialist oriented .\ni was a leftist from my schooling days . when i was studying for my university entrance at dharmaraja college , i used to listen to speeches of dr n m perera , dr colvin r de silva and bernad soyza with much interest . while in the university my batch mates used to call me a trotskyite .\nhowever i studied english and sinhala literature and western classical drama thus associated closely with highly respected intellectuals as prof sarachchandra and prof siri gunasinghe .\na . actually i wanted to take forward the trend created by them and produce more realistic cinema that give wisdom to people .\ntheir cinema did not showcase socialist realism but had a kind of penetration into deep issues in the society and reality .\nmy cinema was similar to this genre . indian filmmaker ritwic ghatak too was engaged in making similar cinema .\na . sex is grossly misinterpreted in this country . we should be aware that sexuality is part of reality and an essential part of life .\nso - called moralists would say sex should take place within closed doors and should not be discussed openly . it is a mere psychosis .\nyou read child abuse , rape and extra marital affairs in paper . why not see them in cinema\nit is a reductive attitude to say local filmmakers include sex in their films to get recognition in the international sphere .\nif someone says that he is insulting filmmakers . we have a problem with critiques . most of them do not have proper background or education to indulge in film criticism .\na . i do not believe in censorship . the word censorship is not used in many countries and they do not have censor boards . there could be a kind of clarifying or rating system for films . we had the fifth circuit sometime back .\na . technology took its toll and brought us to a digital era . now there is no turning back . we can make digital films up to 4k level here and also cut down on costs . but our theatres are not digitalized to facilitate this and that is a crisis .\nthe government should interfere and do this . however for restoration purposes movies can be kept on tape .\nnow there is a trend to shoot in negatives and convert via digital intermediate to release the film digitally .\nthat way we can restore the film in negative and preserve it . restoration power is with the tape .\na . i don\u2019t think there were characters for either of them in the film .\nhaving given considerable concern in regard to the

president , served on the eight member literary panel . of the 161 , 000 entries , the jury selected the following ideal cast : leslie howard as david copperfield ; cedric hardwicke as micawber ; donald calthrop as uriah heep ; may robson as aunt betsy ; gordon harker as barkis ; elizabeth allan as dora ; diana wynyard as agnes ; victoria hopper as little em ' ly ; mrs . patrick campbell as mrs . micawber ; fredric march as steerforth ; and edmund gwenn as mr . peggotty .\nmost critics have tended to prefer the first half of the movie , focusing on the young david , and felt the film\u2019s power fizzles out somewhat later on . i would have to agree with that , although there is still plenty to enjoy in the second half . in many films which begin with childhood , i find myself waiting eagerly for the moment where the child star disappears and the adult takes over . in david copperfield it is the other way round , and i feel a pang when freddie bartholomew disappears , because he is so perfect as the young david , reacting with such sensitivity to each larger - than - life character who whirls into the story . we not only see them , but see him watching them . as david thomson comments in his book have you seen\u2026 ? , bartholomew \u201cis the eyepiece for the movie\u201d .\nwe are friends for life .\nthe man speaking : micawber , played by w . c . fields with great comedic charm and human warmth . the child addressed : david , played by freddie bartholomew in his hollywood debut . the movie : david copperfield , still one of the best - ever screen adaptations of a charles dickens novel .\nto call the casting inspired is to underrate it ,\nhistorian david shipman wrote in his the story of cinema . lionel barrymore , edna may oliver , maureen o ' sullivan , basil rathbone and more joined fields and bartholomew in portraying the eccentrics , cads and loving family of this film directed by george cukor . david o . selznick produced , insisting on an attention to dickensian detail that included matching the sets to the first edition ' s illustrations . the result : one of the greatest page - to - screen adaptations ever .\nat once an incredibly funny and depressing adaptation of the great novel , david copperfield shows us a goodhearted man who is put on the earth to suffer and watch everyone around him suffer , as though he is the carrier of some emotional and dramatic infection . for anyone skeptical of watching a 2 hour dickens adaptation from cukor , w . c . fields alone makes the film worth watching and should be the prime example of how to cast and wield the talents of comedic actors in dramatic roles .\nfreddie bartholomew is perfect as young copperfield and would work for selznick in additional literary adaptations , anna karenina ( 1935 ) and little lord fauntleroy ( 1936 ) . frank lawton , even if you don ' t like him as an adult copperfield , is wonderful as an adult freddie bartholomew . not as good as tyrone power turns the trick in lloyds of london ( 1936 ) , but frank lawton isn ' t ty power , there ' s a bit of a charisma gap there . he ' s excellent with o ' sullivan whom he moons over until he eventually blows up at her and he does a fine job of putting heep in his place on more than one occasion .\nmr . micawber : [ to young copperfield ] boy , as i have frequently had occasion to observe ,\nwhen the stomach is empty , the spirits are low .\nsee more \u00bb\na 19th century version of a road trip , david copperfield feels rushed at times with a cavalcade of characters , each with their own baggage of melodrama quickly appearing , playing their part , and then disappearing . it ' s good that so many people died in the 19th century because it certainly made for convenient plot twists . the speed of the film takes away any emotional satisfaction of the ending , which really communicates how much better dickens is on the page , or at least as a multi - part bbc production .\nadult david still works for mr . wickfield and spends time with his aunt and mr . dick . agnes has grown up to be madge evans , who i found much more suited for her part as the daughter in the previous selznick - cukor classic dinner at eight ( 1933 ) than i did in her quiet role of agnes in copperfield .\ncompressing a long dickens novel into a single film is a tall order . with many such productions , the most immediately striking thing to a keen reader of the book is how much has been missed out \u2013 and , at every turn , you find yourself regretting a character or a plot twist that has been lost . by contrast , in george cukor\u2019s celebrated adaptation , starring freddie bartholomew as the young david and frank lawton as the adult , i\u2019m struck by just how much he has managed to include . i\u2019ve read that originally producer david o selznick , who was a passionate fan of the novel , had thought about making two movies , dealing with david\u2019s childhood and adulthood separately . this might have worked even better \u2013 but the single film we have crams an awful lot into its 131 - minute running time .\nthank you , r . d . , much appreciated . i\u2019m interested to hear you say this is the best hollywood dickens and agree it compares with lean . i do like some of the other american films too , though \u2013 1935 was such a great year for adaptations of his work , with this film , \u2018a tale of two cities\u2019 and \u2018edwin drood\u2019 in hollywood , and the british film \u2018scrooge\u2019 with seymour hicks all released in the space of that one year . i agree that the whole cast is wonderful in this , and the choice of fields for micawber was inspired \u2013 hard to imagine laughton in the role though i\u2019m sure he would have been great too .\njudy , what a wonderful post on a wonderful movie . for me this is the only hollywood version of dickens that is in the same league as the best british versions , like david lean\u2019s two dickens films . i\u2019ve heard of many people , including the film\u2019s director george cukor , who feel the second half of the film is weaker than the first half . i\u2019ve never had that reaction myself . i do think that perhaps the experiences of the victimized child are simply more emotionally engaging than those of the adult writer .\nthe best film version of d . copperfield . . . dickens ' allows us a glimpse into england during the industrial revolution . . . his themes of redemption and the loss of innocence play out masterfully . . . outstanding cast . . . once upon a time d . c . was compulsory reading in high school . . . sadly , this is no longer the case . . .\nenough years pass for freddie bartholomew to grow into frank lawton , another british born actor who ' d previously appeared in the cast of 1934 academy award winning best picture cavalcade ( 1933 ) . lawton is very believable as an adult version of bartholomew , especially considering most audiences had little to no previous knowledge of either actor at the time of david copperfield ' s release .\ni agree with your point that the film\u2019s 2nd half is weaker . partly i think that has to do with a lackluster frank lawton as the adult david ; he has nowhere near the appeal or presence of freddie bartholomew , who beautifully conveys both the adventure and pathos of david\u2019s childhood ( the scene of him screaming in terror during a thunderstorm when his mother dies remains in the mind ) . i also think that it may have to do with the novel itself ; the adult david is pretty much a passive onlooker in much of the 2nd half\u2019s plot , particularly with the dramatic steerforth / peggotty / em\u2019ly / ham episodes . i\u2019m a great dickens\u2019 fan , but that flaw in the novel\u2019s 2nd half has always bothered me .\njames l . neibaur of urltoken calls it :\none of the most interesting and important film books of the young year ,\nadding ,\nthe documentation is original and significant .\nfull review .\nselznick wrote mgm vice - president and secretary j . robert rubin that an illness laughton had at the time had delayed the film he was working on at paramount ( 81 ) , but laughton biographer simon callow wrote that once filming began\nlaughton lost his confidence completely , and begged to be released\n( 85 ) , which he was . laughton ' s wife and copperfield ' s clickett , elsa lanchester , said much the same ( callow 85 , curtis 312 ) . in his letter selznick debates the difference between having fields or laughton in the part with the feeling that laughton would have been the one important name in the film .\njumping back to this 1930s version of \u2018david copperfield\u2019 , it hadn\u2019t struck me about the story being more upbeat than in dickens\u2019 first half , but yes , maybe so , although basil rathbone is the stuff of nightmares as murdstone and does bring in plenty of darkness \u2013 i should have said something about him in my review . i think that in general horrifying scenes featuring children probably tend to be played down somewhat in films and tv compared to on the page because of the problem with showing real children terrified and in tears \u2013 dotheboys hall on film is never as bad as in the book . thank you again .\ntrue hd direct film transfers -

written that they come alive , fantastic . in my opinion , this version , starring freddie bartholmew , is the\ngold standard\nof the genre , and a welcome addition to any true film fan ' s collection . watch it , it never fails to enchant .\nthanks very much , g . o . m . \u2013 i was also surprised to read that mgm considered cutting lionel barrymore\u2019s scenes . i should have said that i saw this mentioned in the detailed article about the film and its casting at the immortal ephemera blog : urltoken i\u2019m very glad they decided to keep the scenes in \u2013 mr peggotty is such an important character and also barrymore\u2019s performance is one of the greatest in the film to me . i\u2019d forgotten about his readings of the carol , thank you for mentioning that !\npre - production news articles spoke of the enormous effort m - g - m undertook to find four children to play david copperfield and little em ' ly at various ages . studio ads led to the recruitment of over three hundred children , of whom m - g - m found only six who could speak with the required cultured accent . though the second prerequisite , that the child be of british birth , was met by none of the applicants , the studio announced that it would assign the six finalists to bit parts . among the many boys who were considered for the title role were david holt , who was to be borrowed from paramount , and an english boy named peter trent . two days prior to the start of production ,\nthanks very much , sam \u2013 the review was a bit of a rush as i wanted to take part in the blogathon , but i\u2019m trying to make my reviews a bit more concise anyway ! i do love the whole film even though i think the first half is the strongest . agreed on dickens\u2019 naming for murdstone being perfect for the character , and it also fits in nicely with david\u2019s birthplace of blunderstone ( the usual spelling is blundeston ) in suffolk . i can\u2019t claim much credit for the pictures as they are studio publicity shots which i found around on the net \u2013 i especially like the one of david and dora in their wedding clothes with jip . thanks again , sam , much appreciated as ever .\nfields biographer james curtis writes that it was felt fields would strengthen the domestic gate while laughton would do likewise in the united kingdom ( 311 ) . for its investment just over a million dollars the film wound up being a huge hit , grossing $ 2 . 8 million during its 86 - week run with a quarter of that number coming directly from british commonwealth countries ( schatz 169 ) . fields would reap some of the best reviews of all the copperfield cast with cast mate roland young telling him he\nwalked away with the picture\n( curtis 320 ) .\napparently pawle ' s performance as the bizarre mr . dick has thus far escaped modern audiences as he manages to be the only member of the large david copperfield cast listed on wikipedia without a link to his own biographical page ( okay , each little em ' ly performer only has a link to a stub , but pawle lacks even that ! ) . his imdb bio is empty except for the curious bit of information that he was married to dorothy parker which made me start digging ! real quick , it ' s not that dorothy parker .\ni quite like lawton and agree his scenes with maureen o\u2019sullivan ( and the wonderful little dog cast as jip ) are great , but i do find him a little colourless after bartholomew in the first half of the film . agreed on young and oliver , and indeed the whole cast .\n) and a long version ( 133 minutes ) . a biography of selznick notes that studio head louis b . mayer requested that the film be cut following a negative audience response to the first preview , which was held in bakersfield , ca . selznick cut two reels from the picture by eliminating lionel barrymore ' s role . at a santa ana , ca , preview of the cut version , selznick reportedly interviewed four women , all schoolteachers who had seen the film , and based his decision to retain the longer version on their objections to the omission of the peggotty character .\nthe stories of bartholomew ' s coming to america and mgm are a bit murky with what seems to be the likely case being the shadiest story of the bunch . selznick and cukor had spent a good deal of time in britain in advance of david copperfield , for while it was largely being filmed at mgm studios they wanted to get as much of a feel for dickens ' homeland as possible . during one of these trips they learned of freddie bartholomew and either led him to believe he had the part or actually offered it to him then and there .\njudy \u2013 you continue to expose my shortcomings . i have yet to see this film though tcm has recently had it on twice in the past couple of months . i only recently watched lean\u2019s great expectations recently and loved it . will have to catch up with this . a delightful review .\nthis immaculately cast and designed david o selznick production for mgm remains the definitive version of charles dickens ' s vaguely autobiographical classic novel . while basil rathbone is mr murdstone to a t , and there couldn ' t possibly be any other aunt betsey trotwood than edna may oliver , the real casting coups are lennox pawle ' s perfect mr dick ( avoiding any sentimentality ) and roland young ' s ubiquitous uriah heep . if the great wc fields makes micawber a star turn , it ' s no bad thing , and both freddie bartholomew and frank lawton as the young and the grown - up david , respectively , could not be bettered . this film is a richly entertaining reminder of what hollywood , and especially mgm , did best . but then , its source was pretty good , too .\nwho had the fun role of dora , a girl david falls for hard while at the ballet with his school chum steerforth ( hugh williams ) . dora is no doubt beautiful but also dumb as a stump . in fact my extremely abbreviated notes for\nwhile pawle seems anonymous today his times obituary remarked on how his\nsnow - white hair , rosy , cherubic countenance and monocle\nwas then\nfamiliar to the theatrical worlds of london , new york and hollywood . in all three groups he had an unusually large number of friends .\nafter some sporadic appearances on the british screen , pawle was in a handful of productions of fox films in america in 1929 and then had small parts in mgm ' s the sin of madelon claudet and mata hari ( both 1931 ) . after what should have been his breakout role as mr . dick for mgm he played small parts in the gay deception for fox and then in an uncredited role for copperfield director george cukor in sylvia scarlett ( 1935 ) . he died february 23 , 1936 of a cerebral hemorrhage . lennox pawle was 63 .\navailable on amazon for just 99\u00a2 - freddie bartholomew : an informal biography has had a major revision since the last update of the immortal ephemera post in 2012 . includes new introduction , filmography , bibliography and footnotes , four photos , and a more polished telling of freddie ' s biography with additional film notes .\nof his wife ' s famous name he was quoted during the time of david copperfield production as saying\nit ' s dreadfully embarrassing , really . . . everywhere i go people expect me to be funny\n( thomas ) . the few direct quotes i spotted from pawle over the years were usually pretty wry and could often be read both in a serious and humorous way . i suppose if you were reading the papers then you ' d know exactly how to take it because pawle was not at all an unknown quantity , again , his name was usually proceeded by the words comic actor .\nenjoyable adaptation that seems to a good job of compressing the 800 page novel , it feels slightly episodic and i ' m sure a lot of finer detail got left out but it still does a good job of getting across the different relationships in david ' s life .\narticle reported that the hays office planned to send out two thousand postcards to women ' s clubs and religious leaders , plugging the film . the postcard mailing was related to the hays office ' s ongoing campaign to promote filmgoing as an institution . the plan was aimed at publicizing this picture and all subsequent pictures that might\nhelp the industry as a whole .\nin a biography of george cukor , the director recalled that only one sequence , a second - unit shot of david walking to canterbury , was filmed in england , and that the dover scenes were filmed in california , near malibu .\nhis most famous part on the stage was in pomander walk which brought him to the united states for the first time in 1910 with the first u . s . production opening in april 1911 . pomander walk was written by louis n . parker , pawle ' s father - in - law . pawle ' s wife , dorothy parker , also acted , and played the part of little em ' ly in her father ' s 1914 production of the highway of life , a work based on david copperfield . pawle would get rave notices for playing micawber in the highway of life ( o . p . heggie played uriah heep ) .\n. according to the correspondence of producer david o . selznick between march and april 1934 , selznick originally wanted to film the entire picture in england , and later wanted to make two complete pictures out of the story . releasing two pictures instead of one was estimated to cost an additional $ 100 , 000 . according to production information furnished by the studio ' s publicity department , over the course of a year , seven scenarios were written and discarded before one was finally considered ideal for the story . three unacceptable scenarios were written before cukor and scenarist howard estabrook decided to travel to england to become better acquainted with the dickensian scene .\nthat should absolve frank lawton from much of the blame , which is good , because i find myself gaining more of an appreciation for lawton ' s performance as copperfield as young adult with each viewing . it ' s tough to trump freddie bartholomew though , even here in his american debut , and lawton can ' t . no adult actor could and i believe the reason stretches beyond even dickens ' original text simply to the idea that the nostalgia of childhood is going to effect the viewer more than one ' s remembrances of their early twenties . cap that idea with bartholomew ' s mastery of the heartstrings and conveyance of expressions well beyond his twelve years and no one could touch his david of youth .\njacqueline t . lynch , author of ann blyth : actress . singer . star . , says :\na prime example of a classic film fan taking the reins to produce a scholarly study of a neglected figure from the golden age of classic films in a way that i feel is refreshing , infinitely helpful to fans and students of old movies .\nfull review .\nyou make an interesting point about the novel \u2013 i hadn\u2019t thought of david as a passive onlooker , since he is the one who brings steerforth to see the peggottys , having failed to spot the flaws in his character during their schooldays , but it is something to think about on my next re - reading . : )\nthis is a light treatment of a great novel by charles dickens . it is enjoyable , but i bought it to see the performance of that great comic w . c . fields . like most good comedians who turn to dramatic acting he did his turn excellently well . if you don ' t like the comic style of fields you may still enjoy his acting in this film .\nthanks for your terrific post . i love both fields and young in this film ; they\u2019re so dickensian ! i\u2019m surprised that mgm would consider cutting lionel barrymore\u2019s scenes . not only is his character important to the plot , but barrymore was a popular star ( he was also associated with dickens , performing an annual reading of \u2018a christmas carol\u2019 on the radio ) and would have been an audience draw .\ni find myself \u201cspoiled\u201d for these shorter films since the long mini - series on tv . it\u2019s hard for them to compete in terms of time as well as filming on location . but individual movies can transcend their limitations . i\u2019m wondering if the second half of this film not somehow \u201cdoing it\u201d is the result of modern minds interacting with dickens\u2019s own way of presenting adult love , child - like versus sensible women ( all of course virtuous and sexually innocent ) . what andrew davies and sandy welch do is really update the characters subtly and modern frank psychological acting does the rest . since they omitted the darkest aspects of david\u2019s childhood & had basil rathbone as an archetype , would you say there was an attempt to make a more upbeat story than in dickens\u2019s first half ?\njudy , i would add the hollywood a tale of two cities to the dickens mix of films that stood alongside the best british dickens adaptations , but there is no question at all that this wonderful film of the novel that dickens always called the favorite of his works , works on all the levels you attest to , especially the casting . bartholomew is as engaging here as he is in captains courageoous , and fields does make one forget about laughton , which is inconceivable . rathbone is perfect as murdstone ( one of dickens\u2019 best named characters ! ) as is lionel barrymore as peggotty . ( nice choice there for favorite oerformace , judy ) it\u2019s lovingly mounted ( great , ravishing screen caps ! and though it is admittedly stronger in the first half , one comes away fullfilled . it remains a movie landmark for all sorts of reasons , and you have done the film glorious justice with a magnificent review .\nreported that the studio was unable to confirm that freddie bartholomew would play the young david because bartholomew ' s father refused to sign the boy ' s permit to leave england . in case the bartholomew deal fell through , m - g - m kept david holt available for the part and continued to teach him how to speak with an english accent . some contemporary sources claimed that between nine and ten thousand young boys from america , canada , england and every english - speaking colony were interviewed for the title role . according to a modern biography of selznick , after failing to dissuade selznick from making the picture , louis mayer asked that american child actor and m - g - m contract star jackie cooper be cast in the title role . an advertisement placed in the september 1 , 1934 issue of\nthe problem was that british child labor laws forbade mgm ' s exporting bartholomew to america and putting him to work . bartholomew and his guardian , his aunt millicent , sailed to new york , presumably on a vacation . according to later press reports , no doubt fed directly from the studio , when they saw that mgm was auditioning for david copperfield they headed west on a lark to land the part . selznick seems to give away the matter when he writes a letter complaining that bartholomew ' s father had told the english press that the part was already freddie ' s when he and millicent set sail . selznick then goes into a long explanation of how they\nobviously could not afford to even appear in position of violating law\nbut how\nwe have spent fortune trying to find another child without any success , and it seems to us british government would give us this permission if matter properly presented to them .\naunt betsey will eventually have a showdown with the villainous murdstone over the boy ' s welfare and decides to keep him on in her household to raise him properly . there , david spends much of his time with the fantastic mr . dick ( lennox pawle ) , a defective fellow who lives under the belief that long deceased king charles i inhabits his head . nonetheless aunt betsey trusts dick as a shrewd decision maker .\ni must confess i find dickens tough to get into , for personal reasons , but i do like this film . i do agree with the consensus about the first half being better than the second half , though i do think young\u2019s performance as heep , and the comeuppance fields\u2019 micawber delivers him , carries the second half . and fields\u2019 performance , for me , is one of the best examples of putting a comedian in an acting role that harnesses their comic gifts somewhat yet still allows them to shine through .\n) settles on the first man to pay her any attention , the ultra - strict murdstone ( basil rathbone ) . after returning from a stay at dan peggotty ' s ( lionel barrymore ) , his caretaker ' s ( jessie ralph ) brother , david returns to find murdstone officially his stepfather and mr . m ' s even stricter sister ( violet kemble cooper ) making it known that she ' s now lady of the house .\ni\u2019m not going to recap the story of the novel here , but will just say that i think the film does rely on a knowledge of the book , and might be confusing at times for anyone who doesn\u2019t already know the characters . with such a widely - read novel , it was possible to get away with this in the 1930s . the film has been described as feeling almost like phiz\u2019s drawings brought to life , and i can certainly see this for some of the characters , in particular roland young as uriah heep \u2013 almost unrecognisable from other roles i\u2019ve seen him play , such as topper , and looking uncannily like the illustrations . the script , mainly written by novelist hugh walpole ( who also has a small role as the vicar ) , keeps much of dickens\u2019s own language \u2013 something more recent adaptations have tended to jettison \u2013 and many snatches of dialogue are taken straight from the page . best of all , a lot of the humour is kept in , rather than being cut out in the interests of the plot , which is always a risk when adapting dickens .\ndan peggotty character . again the afi catalog , pointing to an unnamed selznick biography as their source , claims that selznick put barrymore back after discussing the matter with four schoolteachers after the showing , each of whom apparently felt the character was too important to be cut . worried about the length of the film , selznick was finally tipped towards what we have as the finished project when he brought his problem up to mgm head nicholas schenck and schenck replied\nwhat do you mean , how long can you make it . . . how long is it good ?\nso what is lost in the mix ? david\u2019s time in the blacking factory as a child is passed over very briefly , and his schooldays are completely missed out \u2013 a sad loss , since without them we don\u2019t really know how his friendship with steerforth grew , but cutting out this section bridges the gap between the ages of freddie bartholomew and frank lawton . david\u2019s romance with dora is well portrayed , with maureen o\u2019sullivan making her just as enchanting as she should be beneath the silliness - i especially loved the scene with jip the dog disrupting the dinner party \u2013 but madge evans as agnes doesn\u2019t really get much screen time and is left waiting quietly in the background . in general , the whole adult section doesn\u2019t work quite as well as the childhood part , as i\u2019ve already said , but it does still have some great moments all the same . all in all , this is one of my favourite hollywood adaptations of dickens , and a movie which repays re - watching .\nwhile i was aware of the dickens novel , i had no idea of what the story entailed until watching this film , which doesn ' t really seem to do it justice . it ' s very inert and linear , with a whole series of very overripe characters and no real drive or punch to the storytelling . i can see that there ' s an interesting story in there , but this just makes it feel like a second - rate great expectations , more concerned with the trappings of a dickens novel than the wealth of substance and satire he always had simmering below the surface .\nsean , i didn\u2019t recognise young on a first viewing either \u2013 as you say , he is very different in this from the other roles i\u2019ve seen him in so far , proving his great versatility as a character actor . he makes a surprisingly effective villain in this with his smarmy little smile . dickens is a lifelong favourite of mine , so i\u2019m sorry to hear you find him hard to get into , but glad you like this film . i definitely agree that casting fields as micawber worked very well and he does get a chance to use his comic gifts in the part . thanks very much for the kind comment !\nfilms include a 1911 thanhouser three -

minute scene where a guy runs and runs and runs . it\u2019s never made explicitly clear why anything is happening , ever .\ni wonder if there would be a similar reaction today if it was announced that adam sandler , say , was going to do a holocaust movie\u2014that this is just not appropriate material for this particular performer .\ni\u2019m a real stream -

[ frodon did not know how giannoli got his print , and giannoli himself did not respond to multiple requests for an interview . ]\nrotten tomatoes has previously released a press release listing their own analysis of the top eight films audiences loved but critics hated with documentary hating breitbart at the top . this wasn ' t in the list i used , probably because the list only considered movies with a wide release of 500 cinemas or over . apart from that , differences between their top 10 and my top 10 are the inclusion of older films in mine \u2013 i ' m not sure what dates they considered \u2013 and broken bridges not being in my list \u2013 i can ' t account for this one , i suppose it was just left off the list i used . also they ' ve got an extra decimal point available , which wasn ' t available via their api for my data .\ni don\u2019t know why it would be impossible to watch . there are many things that are difficult to watch . this film finds what i consider a cinematic answer to some real , serious issues , using a kind of stylized setting , both in the costumes and the sets . it\u2019s not pretending to be realistic at all . instead , it has a very obvious fairy - tale feeling\u2014not fairy tale , but tale . there are no fairies here , but there details like in the grimm brothers , like this kind of stylized background with a train rolling along the countryside where the children are being kept , and afterwards , when helmut leads them [ to the gas chambers ] like the pied piper . so the film uses an unrealistic way to relay events we know about , events that have been shown so many times in very realistic ways .\nthe next morning , however , clouds obscure the sunshine of first love \u2014 notably sasha\u2019s internal \u201cam i a lesbian ? ! \u201d and \u201cwhat will people think ? ? \u201d freakout , exacerbated by anne\u2019s need for affirmation and a suddenly - chilled - out clifton\u2019s assumption that they\u2019re already an item . when there\u2019s rancor all around , anne makes an impulsive decision that necessitates a leap forward some weeks , and triggers an emergency parent / teacher / counselor summit .\na great and fair point , given the mass of licensing deals that surrounded and in part funded the making and promotion of the film . but maslin continues , focusing on the strengths of the film .\njerry lewis died on sunday at the age of 91 , leaving behind at least one big mystery : the fate of the day the clown cried , an unreleased 1972 holocaust film that lewis directed and starred in . it tells the story of a fictional german clown , helmut doork , who is sent to a nazi concentration camp as a political prisoner and ends up entertaining jewish children at an adjoining death camp . in the film\u2019s climax , helmut distracts the children with jokes and pratfalls as he leads them to the gas chambers , ultimately joining them inside . you will be only partially relieved to know that this was intended to be lewis\u2019s first dramatic role .\nto all the boys i\u2019ve loved before didn\u2019t stop at casting condor . janel parrish of \u201cpretty little liars\u201d and anna cathcart of \u201cdescendants 2\u201d and \u201codd squad\u201d are set to play margot and kitty , lara jean\u2019s sisters . noah centineo of \u201cthe fosters\u201d is signed on to play peter kavinsky . john corbett is set to play the song girls\u2019 dad .\npart of the reason i love this movie is because i relate to it so much . but if i am trying to look at it in a more unbiased state of mind i still feel that as far as lesbian moves go this one is one of the good ones . the acting is great , the writing is real , and the directing is moving . there are few lines that are somewhat cringy but as far as the writing goes , these lines fit into the general awkwardness and inexperience that comes along with teenage - hood . these actors are great in their roles . i really believe that they have a connection and really care about them . the screenplay , i believe , is very well done . and the directing helps create this emotional energy that i cannot explain . i , in my own experience as a lesbian , relate to this movie so much . there are some scenes in the movie that i can just feel the emotion that the actors are trying to get across . it is so eloquently portrayed that i cannot help but feel a connection to it . in short , this movie is good , maybe great . i liked it quite a bit and encourage you to watch it .\nin his mind ,\ni said ,\nhe ' s getting you for a cheap price .\ninitially a somewhat bland , under - detailed tale of burgeoning attraction between two female high schoolers , \u201cfirst girl i loved\u201d gets more interesting as their tentative relationship crashes against the usual private uncertainties and social anxieties of that age . those conflicts aren\u2019t particularly well developed either , however , compromised by uneven character writing and an awkward flashback structure . [ \u2026 ]\nat the risk of offending devotees of the force , i will say that the stories of the star wars movies have always been space operas , and that the importance of the movies comes from their energy , their sense of fun , their colorful inventions and their state - of - the - art special effects . i do not attend with the hope of gaining insights into human behavior . unlike many movies , these are made to be looked at more than listened to , and george lucas and his collaborators have filled the phantom menace with wonderful visuals .\nit\u2019s certainly not unusual for a film to be ravaged by critics but voraciously consumed by moviegoers . the success of the transformers franchise certainly speaks to that . ( the sound of music , the film industry\u2019s original transformers ? ) but bad films that still manage to eke out decent box office returns don\u2019t stand the test of time the way the sound of music has . there\u2019s a disconnect , it seems , between the film\u2019s initial critical response and its longevity .\nwhen the davison family comes under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway , the gang of mysterious killers soon learns that one of the victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back .\nwriting in the new york times on may 19 , 1999 , janet maslin gave the film its due , while calming the waters and reminding her readers that this was a film , nothing more , nothing less .\nthis kind of split is of course not unprecedented . you may remember the boondock saints , that bizarre catholic twins revenge rampage that spawned a million dorm - room posters . fans loved it\u201491 percent on rt\u2014and critics hated it\u201420 percent . but the size of suicide \u2019s haul is what sets it apart . with more than $ 100 million already in the bank , i wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it beat batman v superman \u2019s u . s . domestic take of $ 330 million . cult classics are one thing\u2014bad movies that tank at the box office but live on forever in well - worn dvds . suicide squad looks to be an actual smash .\ni loved robert altman . i ' m so passionate about that man , and with james and robert , their egos don ' t get in the way of the art . there are so many directors in hollywood who want to think it was all their idea . they don ' t invite their artists to bring their art to the table . but robert and james want you to argue with them and suggest the new concepts and ideas . altman creates worlds , you know . robert to me is more of choreographer than a film director . he told me , ' i ' d rather direct 80 people than three , ' because 80 people gives him more room to breathe .\nit\u2019s an endearing vision , no doubt . we\u2019d like to imagine a nasa free of bureaucratic oversight , where everyone\u2019s a jodie foster and no one\u2019s a tom skerritt . perhaps you think we need comfort right now , more than ever . perhaps the possibility of the dark mystery of the universe is too much to take , when earth itself feels dark and mysterious . arrival , like 2010 before it , wants to make you believe that humanity can be saved . these movies speak to us the way their space - gods speak to the characters onscreen : they advise us , in blunt terms , to be nice . and we should be nicer to each other . i didn\u2019t need a movie to tell me that ; and i don\u2019t think sincerity equals profundity . if you think good intentions make a movie great , go watch crash .\nyes . i\u2019m convinced it\u2019s a very good job . it\u2019s a very interesting and important film , very daring about both the issue , which of course is the holocaust , but even beyond that as a story of a man who has dedicated his life to making people laugh and is questioning what it is to make people laugh . i think it is a very bitter film , and a disturbing film , and this is why it was so brutally dismissed by those people who saw it , or elements of it , including the writers of the script .\nhowever , anytime you mention the film to people who ' ve seen it , odds are they will instantly exclaim ,\nugh , that ending !\nif you haven ' t seen the movie , stop what you ' re doing and watch it right now , because major spoilers are about to happen .\ni talked to toback right after talking to campbell . i ' d been offered the chance to talk to them together , but no , i ' ve interviewed toback many times over the years , and if there ' s one thing i ' ve noticed , it ' s that nobody else gets to talk . since he is brilliant , funny and a little mad , this is not a problem , unless you want to hear what the other person has to say ."]}

( usually , u . s . - made comedies don\u2019t translate to big box office overseas . ) click is sony\u2019s seventh # 1 film of 2006 , unlike 2005 when much of the studio\u2019s fare bombed with moviegoers .\nadam sandler and this film ' s producers were almost sued for plagiarism by scholastic , inc . when its plot was revealed and all too familiar . in 1995 , eleven years prior to this film , the popular author r . l . stine wrote a very similar story in his\ntales to give you goosebumps ,\nwith almost the exact same plot and set - up as this film , even down to both being titled\nclick .\nno legal action was ever taken as both agreed to the entire situation being a coincidence . the irony is that both click ( 2006 ) and stine ' s story can easily be based on the old french tale\nthe magic thread ,\nwhere a boy is able to pull a thread to speed up the parts of his life he does not like and quickly finds himself an old man before being given a second chance .\nthe neighbors in the film are named the o ' doyles , which is also the name of the family of bullies who always say\no ' doyle rules\nin adam sandler ' s earlier film billy madison ( 1995 ) .\nqualify for tax relief through the cultural test for film , animation programmes , high - end television and video games .\nbafta\u2019s destination for youngsters to come and discover the magical worlds of film , television and games . enter challenges , watch videos , and take part in our annual vote to decide the best film , tv show and game of the year .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nthis movie is garbage and is not very funny the first and second act . so why am i giving this film a 80 % out of 100 % ? because the 3rd act of the whole film is the biggest moment in a film where i ' ve cried , and for an adam sandler film , i really wasn ' t expecting that . i genuinely don ' t cry more than once in a film that often , but this film i cried 3 times in the last 22 minutes . now the acting is less than perfect ( except for the fonz , ) and about 85 % of the jokes in this film aren ' t funny but the scenes where he pauses reality and hits someone and messes with them , i die of laughter . though the film does borrow very heavily from\nit ' s a wonderful life\nat the end it doesn ' t distract you at all when watching the film , and seeing how this film rips off the whole plot of\nit ' s a wonderful life ,\none of my top 10 favorite movies , and my favorite christmas movie ever , it is actually very well pulled off , and to me this is the mature and futuristic version of that film . its not nearly as good as it but it is good in its own right , and considering i hate sandler , that is saying a lot .\ncall back : to billy madison - this film also features a jerk ass ginger kid by the name of o ' doyle .\nwhen a harried workaholic is given a universal remote that allows him to pause , rewind or skip past portions of his life , he discovers which parts are truly the best of his life . \u00a9 2006 columbia pictures industries , inc . all rights reserved .\nwhat the hell , are you one of my friends ? we were scrolling through goosebumps episodes on netflix and found the one called\nclick\n. we even talked about this .\nclick\nis rated pg - 13 ( parents strongly cautioned ) . it ' s the kind of potty - mouthed movie that ' s one expletive shy of an r .\namerica loves adam ! click opens no . 1 ;

smith , trevor ralph , and tabitha lupien . when the remote control he ordered arrives , seth discovers that as well as electrical appliances , it can also control the world around him . however , this newfound control proves addictive , and soon seth is abusing it .\nin the dvd audio commentary , director frank coraci states that the scene set in the past where adam sandler and kate beckinsale ' s characters kiss for the first time was deliberately over light to look like a late 80s / early 90s film .\nthey also have a war of the worlds film , and even called it that . how in the * * * * did they get the rights for that . . . war of the worlds is public domain , just like the three musketeers .\nthe film ' s premise was originated from a joke by writer steve koren . it was not until co - writer mark o ' keefe ' s girlfriend ' s suggestion of turning it into a feature that the project got started off the ground .\non christmas day , 2006 , a curious twist on the nativity debuted in a handful of movie theaters . directed and co - written by mexican auteur alfonso cuar\u00f3n , children of men told the story of ( decade - old spoiler alert ) a near - future dystopia in which women are inexplicably unable to have babies \u2014 a state of affairs upended by the advent of a miraculous pregnancy . the film is set in the deteriorating cities and countryside of southeastern england \u2014 vividly rendered with alarming realism and minimal use of sci - fi futurism \u2014 amid geopolitical chaos that has led to a massive refugee crisis , which has in turn led an immigrant - fearing and authoritarian u . k . to close its borders to outsiders who seek its shores . terrorist attacks in european capitals are just routine items in the news crawl . the world stands on the brink , and no one has any clear idea of what can be done . the film , in hindsight , seems like a documentary about a future that , in 2016 , finally arrived .\n. early on in the movie , michael ' s daughter samantha asks him how long he ' s going to live and michael says a throwaway line\ni ' ll live to be 200 , how about that ?\n. near the end of the film ,\noddly enough , cuar\u00f3n doesn\u2019t seem interested in talking about the film\u2019s critical reappraisal , nor in agreeing that it is more relevant now than it was in 2006 . we met up 12 days after trump\u2019s victory , and i expected him to be in full end - is - nigh mode , but he was relentlessly pleasant . he said he was not surprised that the atavistic rage of the brexiters and trumpists had overcome the weakening forces of centrist democracy . but most important , cuar\u00f3n was , against all odds , confident that better days lie ahead . \u201ci used to think that any solution would come from the paradigms that i know , \u201d he says . \u201cnow i think that the only thing is to think of the unimaginable . for the new generation , the unimaginable is not as unimaginable . \u201d\nin the\nfirst kiss flashback ,\njennifer coolidge ' s character is seen wearing a shirt of the simpsons . julie kavner , who played trudy newman / michael ' s mom in this film , provides the voice for marge simpson on the simpsons ( 1989 ) .\nmichael leaves to buy a universal remote just after he develops a cold , then skips his having it , but at the end of the film when he returns to bed , bath , & beyond , he doesn ' t cough as he did when he was leaving .\nthis is a zany comedy of the usual adam sandler crazy comedy type thing but somewhere in this there is a message and the film although stays funny also hits the nail on the head about how we rush through our lives without though . . . well worth a watch !\nthe plot is similar to an episode of r . l . stine ' s goosebumps ( 1995 - 1998 ) season 3 , episode 5 titled\nclick\n, in which a child orders a remote that controls not just the tv , but the world around him . not unlike sandler ' s version of the story , the remote proves to be addictive and have dire consequences .\n20th century boy ( 1973 ) written by marc bolan performed by t . rex ( as t rex ) courtesy of wizard ( bahamas ) ltd . by arrangement with warner music group film & tv licensing and courtesy of demon music group under license from wizard ( bahamas ) ltd .\ncuar\u00f3n , however , is not feeling like taking an overdue victory lap . curled over a table in an upscale mexico city restaurant recently , the 55 - year - old director gets a little irritated when i laud the film\u2019s imaginative prescience . \u201cthis thing was not imagination , \u201d he says , jabbing his index finger into the tablecloth . by cuar\u00f3n\u2019s estimation , anyone surprised at the accuracy of his movie\u2019s predictions was either uninformed or willfully ignorant about the way the world already was by 2006 . \u201cpeople were talking about those things , just not in the mainstream ! \u201d he says . he was reading about refugees , know - nothing reactionaries , and eerie disruptions in biological processes during the early \u201800s . if children of men can be said to have a message , cuar\u00f3n encapsulates it : \u201cwhat\u2019s really relevant now , \u201d he tells me , \u201cis to stop being complacent . \u201d\nbreasts are big , so to speak , in\nclick .\nwhen michael fast - forwards to what turns out to be a fairly dark future \u2014 it ' s a wonderful life , not \u2014 he does a double take at the similarly bountiful profile of his now - adult daughter ( katie cassidy ) and orders her to put on a sweater , apparently as much for his sake as hers .\nit ' s not your typical adam sandler movie , because the dumb humour that is in his regular comedies is present , but the drama that surrounds the core story is way too good to ignore here . adam sandler steps up his game in and around his performance , and it shows by the conclusion . it may not be a breakthrough film in any way , but i highly enjoy the contrast of very stupid comedy , to the true - life events that happen in the end , which makes you really think about life .\nclick\nis good in many ways , but there is still the un - even writing and dumb performances , like always . i really enjoy watching this movie !\nthe remake of psycho . yeah , and how successful was that ? another point is that remakes are made after the original film is 20 or more years old , not within the same decade ! . what were talking about here is the exploitation of foreign films just to make an easy profit .\nthe point of no return wasn ' t a remake , it was just the americanized version of the original foreign film , just like the ring and the grudge were , among many others , not ripoffs . your going to have to spell out your rationality here because your just not making sense .\npeople need to get over the fact that fantastic four was trash and the incredibles was a modern classic . tim story thought he had the\noriginal\nmaterial , but he still made a piece of garbage movie . that ' s what i ' m talking about . i said incredibles was a superior film , and therefor , fantastic four ( the comics and the film ) are inferior . the comics , especially now , are way inferior . the incredibles is a true family . fantastic four is not a family , it ' s two guys , one of the guys girlfriend and her brother .\nnominees chosen by their respective sag awards film and television nominating committees were announced on dec . 13 , 2017 . two nominating panels \u2014 one for television and one for film \u2014 each composed of 2 , 500 randomly selected union members from across the united states , chose this year\u2019s nominees . final voting information was sent to the 121 , 544 sag - aftra members in good standing across the country . balloting closed at noon on friday , jan . 19 . integrity voting systems , the awards ' official election teller , sealed the results until they were announced live during the 24th annual screen actors guild awards .\ni like how this film tries so hard to be a fantasy comedy , but the only fantastical moment within this is the fact that sandler somehow got kate beckinsale to marry him , and then sandler having the nerve to fast forward sex with her . i\u2019m gay , but i wouldn\u2019t do that to her .\ni really love\nclick\n. whether or not that story has been told before , it ' s told really well in that movie . it has a very low rating on rotten tomatoes , and a bunch of the negative reviews say\ni thought it was supposed to be a comedy , but it made me cry !\ndoesn ' t that mean it ' s a good movie you get emotionally attached to ?\nclick is a very watchable and unusual film . i was surprised how non - terrible it was . without spoiling the plot , it takes a surprisingly dark turn almost exactly half - way through , making this a very unusual hollywood comedy . adam sandler is mildly annoying , especially when his character ( supposedly a top architect ) resorts to ' hilarious ' toilet humour , but it ' s less awful than you might expect . christopher walken is fantastically weird as a shop assistant / mad scientist / mysterious antagonist , and kate beckinsale is super as sandler ' s exasperated and wife . some of the special effects are already looking a bit dated , but the make - up and prosthetics are brilliant , and were rightly nominated for an oscar .\nhome entertainment distributor of skyfall and all the other 22 movies in the james bond series . \u00a9 2014 metro - goldwyn -

not yet . as i ' m not a regular in the movies section i don ' t know what is original and what isn ' t . why are you jumping on me ? mr . fantastic ripped off plastic man and all the other stretchy characters . yeah i ' ll accept plastic man for reed . i didn ' t mention this in favour of f4 though . the point is the incredibles is the film that ripped everything else off . iceman , sue storm etc .\nthat tempestuousness manifested itself early on , when the real world tragically and eerily burst into the world of the film . a few weeks before they shot the first scene , in which a terrorist bomb blows up on fleet street and nearly kills theo , real - life islamist radicals detonated four bombs across london on july 7 , 2005 , killing 52 and wounding nearly 800 . the government reluctantly honored its existing agreement to let the children of men crew film the scene , but there was no way it was going to grant them more than a day to do it . that day was , thanks to cuar\u00f3n , chaotic . \u201cit\u2019s a sunday morning , it\u2019s about 6 a . m . , and alfonso has already said , \u2018we\u2019re not shooting today , \u2019 \u201d newman recalls . \u201ci said , \u2018why not ?

written by meyers and her former partner , charles shyer . in that picture , diane keaton was a high - flying executive who ' s forced to re - examine her priorities when she inherits a baby . but the movie was a lot funnier and sharper . one of its strengths was that keaton played a more flawed character than the talented and vibrant jules . in addition , keaton\u2019s character had antagonists in a suspicious boss ( sam wanamaker ) and a sneaky co - worker ( james spader \u2014 who else ? ) . in the intern , hathaway\u2019s jules doesn\u2019t really have anyone trying to challenge or undermine her , and that means drama often is shortchanged .\nthe makers of baby driver received part of the \u00a3600m the uk government offered in tax relief to productions last year . photograph : alamy\nsources say the government \u2013 which paid out almost \u00a3600m in tax relief last year to the makers of blockbusters including baby driver , star wars and the trainspotting sequel , as well as tv dramas including the crown \u2013 has \u201cno appetite\u201d to make any move against the tax credit system that has fuelled britain\u2019s movie -

com ?\nthe 1995 battle seemed to mark one of those hollywood turning points , like the races of 1968 or 2006 or 2011 , when it wasn\u2019t merely two movies clashing , but two competing visions of what movies should be . on one side was forrest gump , a hollywood historical epic that broke some new technical ground in digital manipulation of existing film footage ( the trickery that allowed tom hanks\u2019 forrest to interact with various long - dead historical figures ) . still , it told a fairly traditional story , full of candy - box pieties and accompanied by a baby boom\u2019s greatest hits soundtrack .\nright then , the movie changes tone . up until keaton ' s decision to keep the child ,\nbaby boom\nhas been a hard - edged satire ( the dialogue between keaton and the hat - check attendant is an example , as keaton thrusts the squawling infant across the counter and promises\na big , big tip\n) . but after the film ' s turning point , it goes from a satire into an escapist fantasy , a harmless one , in one of those worlds where everything turns out more or less right , because folks are more or less nice .\nall of this is too good to be true , of course , but that ' s why i enjoyed it .\nbaby boom\nmakes no effort to show us real life . it is a fantasy about mothers and babies and sweetness and love , with just enough wicked comedy to give it an edge . the screenplay , written by producer nancy meyers and director charles shyer , has some of the same literate charm as their previous film ,\nirreconcilable differences ,\nand some of the same sly observation of a generation that wages an interior war between selfishness and good nature .\nthis film proves how political correctness can damage a movie . baby boom made the point that a demanding career can hurt the personal lives of women , as well as men . but in the intern , jules has a stay - at - home husband and an adorable daughter in addition to a stimulating career . it\u2019s all a little too perfect . there is one surprise twist in the third act that suggests her life may not be as ideal as she thinks . but even this stumbling block is resolved much too quickly and neatly . the whole movie is way too tepid to scintillate .\nwhen she inherits the baby , she\u2019s not immediately an amazing parent . it\u2019s hard to imagine any woman being adequately prepared for first -

parent issues happen to the baffled male title characters in three men and a baby ( which appeared just one month after baby boom ) and kirstie alley\u2019s white - collar single mother two years later in look who\u2019s talking , but more recent relatives tackling questions about how unplanned parenthood may alter a woman\u2019s career path and throw a working girl for a loop can be found in raising helen and knocked up . bottom line : we aren ' t wired for parenthood ! it ' s a process .\nwhen it comes to this sort of detail , ' ' baby boom ' ' is as funny as it is contrived . and miss keaton has a wonderfully maniacal gleam in her eye each time she masters some new baby -

it makes for more palatable entertainment rather then the real drama most would endure in such circumstance . it certainly rids the film of some of its resonance and will rub many the wrong way . other aspects of the film show its age ( a joke about a muslim nanny falls shockingly flat ) , but for the most part , the film has slipped into nostalgic fuzziness .\nbaby boom , directed by charles shyer ;

( she was feisty for a kid in the midst of a plane - hijacking movie . ) aside from these credits , her only other role was in the 2000 film blast , per imdb .\npocahontas showed britishers of two lands how remarkable an indian woman could be . further , in a country which doted on princesses , she exemplified just what the savants were looking for - an american one ( stedman 1982 ) . it is unlikely that the\ncelestial princess\nconcept was known to the indians before englishman bestowed that title upon pocahontas . yet the images and roles generated by a misinformed europe continue to dominate the popular concept of who pocahontas was . these images force young viewers to internalize white middle class standards of beauty and value , much of which denies the cultural beauty of students of color ( bonilla 1995 ) .\ngreat lengths were taken to make sure everything on film was period - correct for england in 1899 . production was halted when it was discovered that of the costumes temple wore had fasteners which were not invented until 1908 .\nlottie was the sweetest little brat at miss minchin ' s school for girls , that ' s for sure , because her tantrums came from a place of genuine sadness and abandonment . also , she was cute enough to be able to pull off those diva moves ! mulrooney hasn ' t booked any acting jobs since growing up , and her facebook page suggests she ' s recently been working as a bartender . the last update shared publicly there , however , is from a year ago \u2014 and it ' s a video of a dog eating cereal .\nin october , diana flew to rimini , italy , and accepted a humanitarian award along with christiaan barnard , the south african heart surgeon who in 1967 performed the world\u2019s first successful human heart transplant . while there , she spoke with barnard about hasnat , trying to get him a job\u2014something that infuriated hasnat when he learned about it , months later . after italy , she continued on to sydney to open the victor chang cardiac research institute , a medical facility named for a mentor of hasnat\u2019s who had been shot and killed in a botched kidnapping five years earlier . two days later , the sunday mirror ran the story that hasnat had been dreading : di\u2019s new love ; how top heart surgeon finally mended a sad princess\u2019s broken heart ; how princess di fell in love with hasnat khan .\nthis is the best movie distributed by wonderworks i have ever seen . the original version in 1939 was cute , and shirley temple is cute too , but cutely annoying ! in the 1995 version , cool stuff happened , but it almost followed a totally different story ! this follows the story with great anticipation , and i think that every actor or actress was picked perfectly for their part . amelia shankley did the best job of portraying sara that i ' ve ever seen . she acted marvelously , and sunk so deeply into the role that you almost forgot she was amelia . i was never really into classics , until i got a little princess for a novel i had to read back in the eighth grade . this may not be very popular , but is definately a movie you gotta own . i would suggest deeply searching urltoken ( that ' s what i did ) because otherwise it would be impossible to find since it went out of business a few years ago . bottom line : watch this , you ' ll love it ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !\nwhile some have hailed disney\u2019s decision as a reflection of melting pot america , others say the company is sending out a mixed message .\nthis film transcends the\nchildren ' s films\ngenre , to become a lovely miniature masterpiece . this director is fabulous ! he is a master of mood and ambiance and a real artist with his compositions ! ( just go see his great expectations modern remake for further proof ! ) the cast excels with the familiar material , eleanor bron is letter perfect as the wicked headmistress of the school , never descending into caricature , but still making her mark as a the villianous miss minchin . liesel matthews is a surprising delight as the title character , the other little girls are stereotypical but miraculously wonderful in their individual parts ! rarely does a film completely draw you into it ' s world and grab hold of your emotions like this one . the imagery and design elements are remarkable . the passages from india are mystical and powerful , the use of green throughout the design elements is inspired and helps create this world of wonder seen through a child ' s eyes . even though , we can guess the ending , it still manages to wring you dry of tears before the final lovely\nsilent movie\nfade - out . a pure delight from beginning to end ! ( this must be seen on dvd to fully appreciate the design elements )\n( 1995 ) . this article seeks not so much to explain the fluctuating european american interest in the indian as to present the implications of the ideas and imagery used by whites to understand the peoples whom they call indians . my concern over these negative stereo types is that they continue to be perpetuated in a truly paradoxical form . this form , i refer to here as the pocahontas paradox .\npocahontas , however , was no myth ( mills , 1995 ) . the daughter of tidewater virginia ' s legendary chief powhatan , pocahontas ( c . 1595 - 1617 ) was lured aboard a british ship in the jamestown area and held captive for more than a year ( see roundtree , 1990 ) . she was dressed in the english fashion and took religious instruction , becoming baptized as a christian . in 1615 , pocahontas married british colonist , john rolfe . in 1616 , as part of a plan to revive support for the virginia colony , the couple traveled to england with their infant son . there , pocahontas met king james i and queen anne . just as she and rolfe were setting - sail back to america the following march , pocahontas died , perhaps because of smallpox , perhaps because of the foul english weather . she was buried in an english churchyard a few miles from london on the thames river , far from her tribal homeland of the mattaponi people ( sharpes , 1995 ) .\nliesel matthews , who played scout in a theatrical version of\nto kill a mockingbird\nbefore she was cast here , brings a measure of scout ' s spunk to sarah without turning the elegant young lady into a tomboy . not that tomboys aren ' t princesses too .\nhunt is on for transient who vanished for a day with the 13 - year - old daughter of a family that had . . .\nwe cannot show the item as a gift , as second hand or at a lower price . the order reference number . ox18 3ez .\ni say good for them [ warners ] ,\nsays larry kasanoff , who produced the upcoming new line film\nmortal kombat .\nit ' s a tough thing to do , and i think everyone is going to watch this re - release closely to see if it works .\nyou should otherwise recognize errol sitahal from his turn as dr . patel in the harold & kumar movies , which represent his biggest non - princess credit . it should also be noted that his official website is a middle school web design 101 dream come to e - life :\nand , yes , that ' s bee girl you might not remember any particularly famous folks among the young schoolgirls , but look a bit closer : that ' s bee girl ! heather deloach , a . k . a . bee girl , had starred in blind melon ' s\nno rain\njust a few years earlier . surrounding her ? far right with blonde curls is kaitlin cullum ( libby kelly from grace under fire ) , then vanessa lee chester ( janie gibbs from harriet the spy ) , and camilla belle ( practical magic , the ballad of jack and rose , perfume ads ) . the little princess herself was played by liesel matthews ( ne\u00e9 pritzker ) , who inherited the entirety of the hyatt hotels fortune .\nhere , a comparison of how you felt about the movie as a kid vs . the things you think as a grown woman . i think you ' ll find that there ' s weirdness on both ends .\nkhan leans into princess diana\u2019s bmw , near the royal brompton hospital , london , 1996 . with some success , diana worked hard to keep the press away from khan . , by brendan beirne / rex usa .\nit ' s a hat trick for mcqueen ! kate repeats the look she chose for george and charlotte ' s christenings in a . . .\nas a kid , i wanted to be one of sara crewe ' s friends . i love her imagination and her kindness . as an adult , i found her to be annoying at times but found resilience in her character . a shit ton of things was thrown at her at a very young age but still , she found kindness and courage in her heart to deal with it . i love how they mixed fairy tales and real - life circumstances in the film and how they showed it in the eyes of a child .\nafter seeing this movie , my make - believe play often revolved around me being an orphan and living out of a cute little cabin in the woods . there was something disturbingly alluring about the idea of being parentless \u2014 maybe you ' d get special attention ( like sara ' s classmate , lottie , who loses her shit over her dead mother frequently ) , or a house of your own .\nthe studio believes that the film , which will continue to play in a few dozen theaters until the relaunch , was a difficult sell from the beginning .\nmy own interpretation is that the movie was not appealing to kids ,\nsays rob friedman , president of advertising and publicity for warner bros .\nit had no special effects , it was not a well - known property , it wasn ' t required reading in schools , it had no product tie - ins .\nthis shirley temple feature is worth seeing for a number of very nice moments in the story of\nthe little princess\n. it might be a little longer than necessary , and the story development is sometimes uneven , which keeps it from achieving its full potential . it offers the young temple a variety of material to work with , and she has some very good sequences . for the most part , it follows the familiar story , though often embellished , particularly towards the end . the story and temple ' s characterization give it a rather different feel from , for example , the silent version that starred mary pickford . here , temple projects much of her own persona , with her best moments coming with arthur treacher , who plays the easygoing brother of the stern headmistress . the character of becky is still significant , but temple does not ever have the rapport with her that pickford and zasu pitts had in the earlier version . as a result , it ' s a bit uneven overall , but for those who enjoy this kind of story , it ' s still worthwhile . the public domain print makes it somewhat difficult to evaluate the production end , although it clearly contained plenty of detail and color . it ' s a decent if unexceptional feature whose high points are usually worth waiting for .\nthe one - sheet print ads showed two little girls dancing .\nas my daughter said , ' it ' s too babyish . ' my daughter is 8 years old . the colors are awful . it ' s cloying , puerile . my daughter also pointed out that [ the ad was ] not even a scene in the movie .\nso why attempt the near impossible ? after all , while friedman couldn ' t recall the last time the studio tried a re - release ( it could well date to 1979 with\nthe great santini ,\nwhich failed to revive interest in the film ) , conventional wisdom in hollywood is that rereleases of this nature rarely work .\ntoday , cullum works as a production designer and event planner , and is the creative director of arts and design site fours are yellow . here is a photo of her posing with a dinosaur skeleton , courtesy of her facebook page :\nthe transformation of indigenous spiritual knowledge , objects , and rituals into commodities , and their commercial exploitation constitute a concrete manifestation of the more general , and chronic , marketing of native america ( whist , 1995 ) . indian people can perhaps be informed by what the canadian mounties did . they enlisted disney to market their image in a more culturally responsive way . the mounties spent a long time looking for licensing expertise , being fed up with exploitation of their image . the disney corporation now oversees the licensing and marketing of the mounties ' image . what about pocahontas ? what about the images of american indians ?\nhasnat\u2019s button - down shirts stretched over a small paunch . he worked obsessively and often had little time for the princess . \u201cwhy do you like him ? \u201d a friend asked her , mystified by the attraction . \u201coh , i love him , \u201d diana replied . \u201che is so dedicated to his work . \u201d in truth , his work was both an attraction and a hindrance . \u201cwhen he wasn\u2019t working , he wanted to sleep , \u201d a friend of his told me . such a schedule didn\u2019t suit diana , who would call multiple times when khan was in surgery , leaving messages under false names , such as dr . armani . her late - night visits made hospital administrators worry about press intrusion . one hospital staffer told jane atkinson , \u201cwe\u2019ve been terribly , terribly worried for a long time . she comes in the night and she goes off and sees hasnat khan and we\u2019ve been terribly worried the story would break . \u201d as hasnat recalled for the police , the hospital \u201chad started getting a bit upset by the disruption caused by diana\u2019s visits . it was becoming a security issue . \u201d but the concern didn\u2019t stop diana .\nfirst , he said , schools are out during the summer and more children can attend movies during the week with their families . second , friedman said\ncasper\nand\npocahontas\nhad yet to arrive in theaters , giving\nprincess\na clear period it wouldn ' t have later in the summer .\na young girl accustomed to living luxuriously is relegated to servitude at a boarding school when her rich father is suddenly broke and dies in far - off india .\nthe image of the indian displayed mostly by the motion picture industry evolved from negative stereotypes created by chroniclers of the earliest white settlers . efforts by american indians to control their own public image have resulted , in part , from a desire to counteract five hundred years of white people ' s imagery of indians , including consistent misrepresentation in hollywood westerns ( leuthold 1995 ) . we take for granted the survival of the hundreds of american indian societies scattered across the united states .\nwhat followed that cursory introduction at the hospital was an unlikely romance , a two - year roman holiday affair that many close to diana say was the most significant relationship since her marriage to prince charles . for the 35 - year - old princess , hasnat khan represented not just a secret , illicit romance . he was a shot at normalcy , at a life away from the increasingly unfriendly spotlight , and a man with whom diana hoped she might find the personal happiness that had long eluded her . one friend of diana\u2019s told me , \u201cwhen you think of the kind of men diana must have met or been with or seen\u2014here is a man who is completely and totally selfless . she said she\u2019d never met anybody like him . \u201d"]}

\u201coh , that hasn\u2019t happened to me in a long time . \u201d\nin conclusion , as a teaching device , la nuit de varennes has much to say , and in my view , few rivals . in this regard , at least , mitterand got it right .\nit\u2019s true that when keitel starred in quentin tarantino\u2019s reservoir dogs ( which he co - produced ) in 1992 , the picture introduced him to a new , younger demographic . but the actor\u2019s credits during the \u201cobscure 1980s\u201d are hardly lacking in lustre : bertrand tavernier\u2019s death watch was rightly shortlisted for berlin\u2019s golden bear and for five c\u00e9sar awards ; ettore scola\u2019s that night in varennes was a contender at cannes , and , even though his performance as judas earned him a golden raspberry award for worst supporting actor nomination , most right - minded viewers enjoyed his turn in the last temptation of christ .\nin paris in june 1791 , the libertine writer restif de la bretonne is the witness of the departure of a mysterious coach , leaving at night from the palais royal . intrigued , restif starts with casanova the pursuit of the company . he soon discovers that the coach ' s occupants are nothing less than members of the french royal family .\nnominated for palme d ' or at the cannes film festival , italian director ettore scola ' s\nla nuit de varennes\na . k . a .\nthe night of varennes\n( 1982 ) arrives on blu - ray courtesy of french distributors gaumont . the supplemental features on the disc include a long interview with director ettore scola and the film ' s original french theatrical trailer . in french or italian , with optional english , french sdh and french subtitles . region - free .\nd\u00e9couvrez la bande annonce du film la nuit de varennes r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par ettore scola casting : daniel g\u00e9lin , andr\u00e9a ferr\u00e9ol , enzo jannacci . disponible en dvd et blu - ray\na picaresque story of the coach and party that followed hard on the one which tried to transport louis xvi and marie antoinette to safety in 1791 .\n' ' la nuit de varennes , ' ' which opens today at the lincoln plaza 3 , begins as an italian theatrical troupe offers re - enactments of revolutionary scenes to the people of paris , two years after the fact . it quickly shifts , with a rhythm and reason that are all its own , to the night of the king ' s flight as it introduces nicholas edme restif de la bretonne ( jean - louis barrault ) , the writer who documented many of the events of the revolution , and one of a number of historical personages who will follow in louis xvi ' s wake .\nthe great historical pageant that is ettore scola ' s ' ' la nuit de varennes ' ' unfolds with supreme ease . it begins with a series of casual coincidences and weaves them brilliantly into a vision of one of the most important moments in french history , a vision not the least bit limited by the specifics of its place and time .\nscola retired in 2003 , stating that while silvio berlusconi was in power every film made in italy was touched by some of his money . however , in 2013 , he made how strange to be named federico ( che strano chiamarsi federico ) , an affectionate semi - documentary on his friend fellini .\nhe pauses , then guffaws : \u201cif six months ago is a long time . just last year there were three movies i was eager to do . but they didn\u2019t happen . that\u2019s film . that\u2019s the business . film and business don\u2019t always mix well . you have to hang on in there . \u201d\ntraces events in the life of carlo , from his christening in 1906 , where his grandfather reminds his father that carlo means\nfree man ,\nto his 80th birthday party . the film principally . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthere are other nice touches : a scene in the carriage where the passengers experiment to see how far they can venture with rude speech ; bretonne ' s casual air of being on the most extraordinarily friendly terms with his daughter ; casanova ' s gallant agreement ( he is only being polite ) that he is the father of an aging society woman ' s child ; and a touching final scene in which a dummy is dressed in the clothes of the king .\nle nuit de varennes\nhas some fine things in it , surrounded by a lot of other things .\nettore scola at the world film festival in montreal , canada , in 1999 . photograph : pierre roussel / getty images\n\u201ci don\u2019t know where i got the idea from , \u201d laughs keitel . \u201cmy father used to say : \u2018where do you come to be an actor ?

casanova could not care less . he has had a great life . once he even dined with louis xvi . all that he wants now is peace and quiet .\nthis was the situation when the monarch decided to flee the city to go abroad . a plot was hatched and louis and marie - antoinette with family and retainers left paris secretly heading northeast toward germany , where friendly french troops would escort them across the border , presumably to lead an army that would reinstate the monarch\u2019s full control over france . in fact , the trip , which began on the evening of june 21 , ended with their arrest by local officials at varennes , near the frontier .\neven though the italian audio track is marked on the disc as\nversion originale\n, i really believe that it is up to you to decide which audio track you would want to see the film with , because the overwhelming majority of the actors in it actually speak french , not italian . i believe that regardless of which track you select , your viewing experience would be equally pleasing .\nall sides of the day ' s issues are represented within this entourage , with the foremost ideological rift between the progressive restif and casanova , now an elderly gentleman who declares : ' ' i miss the sweeter times of yore , when all was harmony and light . ' ' however , ' ' la nuit de varennes ' ' is not a film about conflict , and it has no villains . it approaches the forces at work in the revolution even - handedly - with compassion for the peasants whose uprising is about to begin , and also with regret about the violent change that is on its way . mr . scola sees change as something that is forever necessary and forever incomplete , which means that only one or two characters in the film regard the imminent revolution with any overriding idealism . idealism in this film is very much a young man ' s attitude , and most of the characters are old enough to have a broader , more tolerant world view .\nnorman hampson outlines the financial case against danton , along with a level - headed discussion of the possibility that he was a \u2018double - agent\u2019 in chapter 4 of his political biography , danton ( oxford : basil blackwell , 1978 ) .\nduring a scene in a bordello , sketched by mr . scola with an earthy humor that figures throughout the film , restif learns from a maid at the royal palace that the king may be attempting to escape from paris . he follows along and soon becomes part of a group of travelers that includes one of the queen ' s ladies - in - waiting ( hanna schygulla ) , the wealthy industrialist de wendel ( daniel gelin ) , an italian opera singer ( laura betti ) , a wealthy widow ( andrea ferreol ) , a prissy hairdresser ( jean - claude brialy ) and others . also eventually in the group , last but hardly least , are casanova ( marcello mastroianni ) and thomas paine ( harvey keitel ) .\nwhen louis xvi summoned the etats - generaux he unleashes a revolution that would change his country and cost his life . this is the story of one of the crucial points in the history of france , and europe , divided into two parts .\nthis talky french costume drama chronicles the adventures of king louis xvi and marie antoinette as they attempt to flee paris during the 1791 revolution . while en route to varennes , the couple encounter and have philosophical debates with a number of fascinating historical figures including thomas paine and restif de la bretonne .\nhonor\u00e9 panisse is dying , cheerfully , with friends , wife , and son at his side . he confesses to the priest in front of his friends ; he insists that the doctor be truthful . but , he cannot . . . see full summary \u00bb\nla nuit de varennes\nbegins with an intriguing notion . what if a group of travelers were journeying by coach along the exact route being taken by louis xvi in his attempt to escape from france ? what if their paths crossed ? and what if the travelers represented a who ' s who of second - rank nobility , intellectuals and notorious celebrities ? what if , indeed , they included casanova , that aging rake ; tom paine , the radical american pamphleteer ; restif de la bretonne , the first pornographer ; and a countess from the king ' s household ?\nand yet , as marisa linton has recently demonstrated , the terror was , in fact , sometimes tragically intimate . friendships mattered in the behind - closed - doors machinations of the revolutionary government , and in the procurement of government positions for trusted individuals ; they also mattered in identifying conspirators who too often met in private . it is no historical error that in wajda\u2019s evocative representation of the revolutionary tribunal , one of the first questions fouquier - tinville asks of danton\u2019s fellow defendants is whether or not they are friends . as linton writes , \u201cthe legitimate venues for the conduct of revolutionary politics were places to which all citizens might have access : the revolutionary assemblies , sections , and committees , and the clubs for which membership was open \u2013 at least in theory \u2013 to everyone who could pay the fee . \u201d [ 4 ] personal relationships that developed beyond the public gaze could render one potentially suspect .\n\u201ci don\u2019t remember it as obscurity , \u201d he nods . \u201ci don\u2019t remember it that way at all . i do know there were times i had a difficult time getting work . many difficult times . but i got through it . i made the effort . i have an 11 - year - old son . i\u2019m always telling him : make the effort and you\u2019ll always wind up in the right place . that\u2019s all anyone can ask of you . \u201d\nwith such a promising premise , director ettore scola can hardly go wrong . but he does , in a long , rambling movie that contains moments of great charm , a couple of wonderful performances , and a great deal of self - indulgent tedium . the movie takes the basic situation of john ford ' s\nstagecoach\n( and countless other movies ) and loads it with so many mannerisms , asides and nice little directorial flourishes that we finally lose patience .\nin the 1920s , the provence is a magnet for immigrants seeking work in the quarries or in agriculture . many mingle with locals and settle down permanently - like toni , an italian who has . . . see full summary \u00bb\nin the final analysis , therefore , there is something satisfying about the movie\u2019s unsatisfying causal narrative for robespierre\u2019s spiraling megalomania . i would be less likely to trust or recommend a movie that offered a fully convincing or simple causal explanation for the terror , an event that challenged the comprehension of its contemporaries as well as generations of scholars ever since . it is instead the sense of tragic bewilderment with which the movie concludes that makes it one of the best representations available of the tumultuous year ii . the closing scenes \u2013 the gruesome images of danton\u2019s head being raised to the revolutionary crowd while his blood soaks into the hay beneath the scaffold , followed by robespierre listening to a young boy\u2019s recitation of the declaration of the rights of man and citizen \u2013 make that sense of sorrowful confusion all the more poignant : what , the audience is left to wonder , can possibly link the former with the latter ? it is hard to imagine a better site for beginning , or ending , a classroom conversation about the terror , than the struggle to make sense of that tragic juxtaposition .\nmr . scola ' s direction of ' ' la nuit de varennes ' ' isn ' t overly elegant or schematic , and the film is all the fresher for that . his style is flexible without the slightest trace of gimmickry . when he sees the need for an odd lighting effect or a historical footnote , he simply tosses these things into a narrative that is otherwise simple , beautiful and straightforward . so casanova can interrupt the story to tell us , while wearing a wool bonnet and sipping soup or tea , why he wasn ' t very well known at the time the action takes place ( his fame , he confides , came with the memoir ' ' published after my death , which , as you all know , occurred in 1798 ' ' ) . and the key figure of restif can , at the end of the film , stride out of the past and into the present - which , as a representative of a work that both encapsulates and transcends history , is most assuredly where he belongs .\nthis is not bad for a man , who , by his own admission , had no real business being an actor in the first place . growing up in brooklyn , long before the gentrification of that borough : his parents were jewish immigrants from romania and poland , who owned and ran a luncheonette . his father supplemented the family income by working as a milliner .\nfilm lore and folk tales have it that keitel\u2019s departure from the fraught set of apocalypse now \u2013 his military experience simply didn\u2019t tally with francis ford coppola\u2019s version of captain willard \u2013 led to years in the wilderness . even keitel\u2019s wikipedia entry uses the phrase \u201cdrifted into obscurity through most of the 1980s\u201d .\nthe historical characters speak in the voices that might be expected of them ( casanova : ' ' on his throne or not , no king ever made me miss a meal ' ' ) , but they ' re never in any danger of becoming puppets . the screenplay , by mr . scola and the late sergio amideo , never overstates the historical importance of any one event or individual . and so it accomplishes the small miracle of letting these figures exist , in equal measure , as characters within this story and as archetypes or legends . the small talk here is never small ( the industrialist , telling a fellow voyager about the day he saw a worker fold his arms and refuse to do his job , calls this ' ' the most terrifying sight i ever saw ' ' ) . but it is wonderfully casual at some times , quietly resonant at others , and always exquisitely delivered . if ' ' la nuit de varennes ' ' offered nothing more than the ensemble acting on display , it would be major and memorable on that basis alone .\nthere are no normal opening credits , director sacha guitry introduces everyone in the film .\nwe really enjoyed this . barrault and mastroianni are terrific actors - - did an outstanding job . the philosophical questions raised are still worth considering today , as the movie implies , and yet they are raised in an interesting and indirect way , so the viewer doesn ' t feel bludgeoned or lectured at . i was interested to discover that the flight to varennes was in fact historical , though i could not discover whether restif de bretonnes ( barrault ' s character ) was actually at the event and commented on first - hand knowledge . he did write extensively about life and events of the time . the interchange of ideas seemed natural , despite the apparent absurdity of finding all of them in the same coach at the same time . sort of like those\nif you could invite 5 historical figures to dinner at the same time\nideas . very much worth seeing .\nthe films of italian director ettore scola are practically impossible to see in north america . they are often screened at cannes , berlin and venice , but , for whatever reason , north american distributors have shown little interest in promoting them . i find this so sad . scola truly is one of the last great living italian directors from that special generation of filmmakers who transformed italian cinema during the 50s , 60s and 70s .\nthe acting is excellent . mastroianni ' s casanova is arguably one of the best ever . in\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\n\u201cit\u2019s like we knew each other for a lifetime . \u201d harvey keitel with michael caine in youth\nthe french dts - hd master audio 2 . 0 track sounds very good . the dialog is crisp , clean and exceptionally easy to follow . armando trovajoli ' s wonderful baroque score also sounds lovely ; i particularly enjoyed the long bassoon solos that are heard while the main characters in the film travel through the french countryside . for the record , i did not detect any disturbing pops , cracks , or hissing to report in this review .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nlet\u2019s talk about women ( se permettete parliamo di donne , 1964 ) , his first film as director , was a series of sketches ( a form fashionable in italy at the time ) featuring the versatile gassman in nine different roles . in jealousy italian style , aka the pizza triangle ( dramma della gelosia , 1970 ) , mastroianni , as a young communist bricklayer , leaves his wife for monica vitti . all is bliss until she falls for his waiter friend , played by giancarlo giannini . in this contribution to that italian genre which uses dark , melodramatic plots to create comedy , scola manages to achieve delightful moments of political and social satire .\nas the previous analysis indicates , gender plays a large role in establishing the moral worth of the characters and the groups they represent . almost without exception , the old regime appears to produce effeminate males ; the revolution their opposite . interestingly , all the intellectuals , except casanova who cuts across social lines , are seen as normative in their masculinity , directly or indirectly . r\u00e9tif de la bretonne is first introduced as the chronicler of over 400 sexual encounters with women . although his behavior also challenges bourgeois ideals of domesticity embraced by the revolution , r\u00e9tif is so charming that the tawdry side is largely subsumed . it would seem that the filmmaker , like the revolutionaries , signals his preference for domesticated and restrained sexual behavior .\nfor all the lush visuals , the film\u2019s best scenes are the buddy exchanges between caine and keitel . \u201cit\u2019s funny . i\u2019ve never worked with michael before . but as michael keeps saying : it\u2019s like we knew each other for a lifetime . we never even met before the movie . the only way i can account for it seeming like an old friendship is that we\u2019re two of only a few actors who have served in the military : michael in the british army and me in the marines . so we had a language , a common tongue between us . \u201d\nthe time is the french revolution , and the occasion is the flight of the royal family from paris to the small town of varennes , where they will be captured and sent back to their deaths . but the feeling is utterly modern , or perhaps it ' s timeless . the key issues of the film are the issues of any era . and the humor and generosity with which mr . scola presents them are correspondingly enduring .\nsophia loren and marcello mastroianni in a special day , 1977 , directed by ettore scola . photograph : alamy\nraises his fist in the air as he walks toward me : \u201c\u00e9irinn go br\u00e1ch , \u201d he cries .\nwhen the film turns to the upper middle classes , it is likewise uncharitable . here , in the guise of a judge , industrialist , and widow of a wine grower , rich commoners come across as narrow and selfish . interestingly , the judge \u2013 an official of the old regime \u2013 is treated more harshly than the owner of ironworks , perhaps showing greater approval of capitalism . but it is the widow who receives the most negative treatment . enamored with casanova , she propositions him , but he graciously turns her down , invoking his decreptitude . but she soon discovers that he can still be amorous as she catches him in an embrace . although the viewer later learns that she was mistaken , the widow feels humiliated . neither this film nor the revolution offer her a meaningful role , but , then , the bourgeois men shuffle out of the movie in a similarly unremarkable way .\nla nuit de varennes , directed by ettore scola ; screenplay ( french with english subtitles ) by sergio amidei and mr . scola ; director of photography , armando nannuzzi ; edited by raimondo crociani ; music by armando trovajoli ; produced by renzo rossellini for opera film ( rome ) and gaumont -

( 32 min , pal ) .\nto complete the previous comment ( which i agree ) , i will add that michel simon ' s ( clever ) machiavelism is to visit the lawyer prior the killing of his wife ( pretending he already did it ) , in order to know how to commit the\nperfect\nmurder without being sentenced as much as possible ; smart ! maybe sacha guitry ' s most cynical movie about marriage . the famous director / writer was an active womanizer and we may think that he was deceived by the female gender at this time ( close to his death ) and wished some revenge through this film ( his young last wife - lana marconi - was supposedly interested in his money only and eventually sold his late husband ' s house in paris to speculating promoters , only a couple of years after his death ( the house was destroyed immediately to build a new building of no interest , whereas guitry ' s last deep wish was to open a comedian ' s museum to exhibit his rarest manuscripts , costumes , theater memorabilia , etc . ) . what a pity !\nfinally , in his emphasis on the personal relationships and private motivations driving the terror , wajda echoes the opinion of some of the victims themselves . in a letter written from prison to his wife , camille desmoulins stated : \u201ci do not conceal from myself that i die victimized for a few pleasantries and for my friendship with danton . \u201d [ 9 ] desmoulins attempted to make sense of what seemed nonsensical \u2013 his death at the hands of his friend robespierre and his indictment for betraying the republic he had served devotedly \u2013 by tracing it to personal , rather than political , motives . in wajda\u2019s film , we see the same process at work . the personal is political , and the only way to make sense of robespierre\u2019s turn against his fellow revolutionaries and , in the case of desmoulins , dear friends , is to stage a confrontation between two powerful but incompatible personalities .\nscola , whose parents were actors , was born in trevico in the southern province of campania . he studied law in rome , but was more interested in drawing satirical cartoons . after dropping out of university , he joined the humorous magazine marc\u2019 aurelio as a cartoonist , and there he got to know fellini , who was on the editorial board . this connection helped scola enter the film business as a writer of dozens of screenplays for broad italian comedies from 1952 to 1964 . scola\u2019s best scripts were for dino risi , whose comic style he assimilated as director .\nas a result , within the film\u2019s narrative , there is something inexplicable about robespierre\u2019s sudden spiral into dictatorial ambitions in the wake of the fateful dinner with danton . robespierre voices reservations throughout the film about the direction which the revolution is taking ; he speaks with saint - just of his desire to end the carnage of the terror , defends both danton and desmoulins against their detractors early in the film , and speaks with ominous regret after danton\u2019s execution . but it is only after the t\u00eate \u00e0 t\u00eate in danton\u2019s private chambers that his doubts give way to decisive action . it is after the dinner that his fellow committee of public safety members accuse robespierre of acting like a monarch ; later , he circumvents the law to ensure a sympathetic jury at danton\u2019s trial . it is as if danton\u2019s fate is sealed by his overindulgences and his ad hominem attacks on robespierre\u2019s asceticism , and not political necessity or even ideology . this causal mechanism is , perhaps fittingly and intentionally , dissatisfying : surely , the viewer thinks , danton is not sent to his death for petty personal grievances ; surely robespierre does not abandon law and justice out of spite and disgust .\nin the 1860s , giorgio ( giraudeau ) , a young italian soldier , is sent to a remote post , far away from his lover , clara ( antonelli ) . he is lodged in the house of the colonel ( girotti ) . he . . . see full summary \u00bb\nroger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success\u2026\nafter the triumph of the sensitive we all loved each other so much , whose theme , expressed by one of the characters was \u201cwe thought we\u2019d change the world , instead the world has changed us\u201d , scola entered the realm of grotesque comedy with down and dirty aka ugly , dirty and mean ( brutti , sporchi e cattivi , 1976 ) . it focuses on a large family , headed by the ageing one - eyed giacinto ( manfredi ) , living in squalor in one rat - infested room in a shanty town on the outskirts of rome . scola treats his poverty - stricken characters far less kindly than the directors of the italian neo - realist movement , who saw the poor as innocent victims of a brutal system . no less critical of a system that breeds poverty , scola shows its degrading effects in graphic , scatological detail , yet keeping an ironic distance . \u201cgrotesque humour is a noble and tragic way of representing contemporary problems , \u201d scola claimed .\npresented in its original aspect ratio of 1 . 66 : 1 , encoded with mpeg - 4 avc and granted a 1080p transfer , ettore scola ' s\nthrough a series of circumstances and plot twists an enterprising man manages to get away with murdering his wife , even though he cheerfully admits his guilt in court .\nplease choose a screen name . this name will appear beside any comments you post . your screen name should follow the standards set out in our community standards .\nfeaturing such notables as tom paine ( keitel ) , the ageing casanova ( mastroianni ) , the randy writer restif de la bretonne ( barrault ) , and an austrian countess ( schygulla ) , this is a picaresque story of the coach and party that followed hard on the one which tried to transport louis xvi and marie antoinette to safety in 1791 . thus is history viewed not through the eyes of its main participants , but through the appetites , passions and prejudices of its commentators and bit players . the result is like tom jones crossed with stagecoach , with the addition of sergio amidei and scola ' s wise and witty dialogue , some sumptuous painterly landscapes , and a subtle feeling for the period far removed from the clich\u00e9s of british imagining . there ' s a real sense both of history in the making and of life in the living : a warm , bravura work of lasting majesty .\nin mixing the personal and the political , and in juxtaposing the private spaces of revolutionaries\u2019 lives with the public spaces of the revolution like the convention floor , the tribunal , and the place de la r\u00e9volution ( present - day place de la concorde ) , the film has stood the test of time , both as an engaging narrative of the terror and as a classroom tool . in the 1980s , much was written on the background of polish solidarity against which this film was written and produced , and in france , criticism focused on the apparently counterrevolutionary stance of wajda , whose depiction of the revolution is framed by the looming image of the guillotine . [ 1 ] in fact , these criticisms of danton could serve as a site for thinking through the legacies of the revolution and the ways in which it has been appropriated and re - narrated by later political groups . paired with robert darnton\u2019s essay , \u201cdanton and double entendre , \u201d the film and its reception remind us of the continuing battles over the legacy of the revolution in twentieth - ( and one may suggest , twenty - first ) century france .

neither is macroblocking . the daylight scenes , for example , look very strong , conveying pleasing depth and clarity . the nighttime scenes , and particularly the inn scenes , where most of the conversations about louis xvi and casanova take place also look convincing . during a few selected scenes , however , i noticed some extremely mild noise corrections . there are no serious stability issues that i noticed while viewing\nat the time of its production , the movie received critical acclaim and scholars viewed it as an interesting take on the revolution ; it still deserves praise , and remains an excellent vehicle ( pun intended ) to study the revolution . director ettore scola meticulously recreates the material aspects of life allowing students to picture living conditions . furthermore , the discussion and interplay among the travelers and their surroundings provide sophisticated insights into different views of the revolution . in a nutshell , the most important facet of the film from a pedagogical perspective is the debate over the revolution among the travelers . yet this will serve more to reinforce what most instructors might do in class . the film suffers from overly confining certain viewpoints to a class or a particular profession . despite this flaw , la nuit does propose an interpretation of class distinctions that will stimulate all types of viewers . even if one disagrees with its snapshots , they are subtle , interesting , and stimulating .\nconvincing de niro it was keitel who convinced robert de niro , a fellow - student training under stella adler , lee strasberg and the hb studio , to take the role of johnny boy in mean streets .\nle bal ( 1984 ) , which gained another oscar nomination , followed events in france from 1936 to the present day as reflected inside a ballroom by the changing music and the characters who frequented the place over the years . behind the decor and the caricature performances , one senses the pain of real events , underlined by the music . films speak in many ways : le bal manages to say a lot without a single line of dialogue .\nin the eighteenth century , the\ntraveling company of scenic arts\ncomposed of tyrant , lady leonarde , serafina , isabella , leandre , zerbina , matamore and pulcinella gets lost while traveling . . . see full summary \u00bb\nstill , the film has moments of great charm . many of them belong to marcello mastroianni , in a wonderful performance as casanova . he has been everywhere and done everything , and as a result is very tired . he is also vain , powdering his nose , adjusting his wig , keeping up appearances . but he is just too satiated by past excesses to take an interest in future ones , and he fends off the women attracted by his reputation .\nyou will get a notification at the top of the site as soon as the current price equals or falls below your price . you can also optionally receive an email notification ( sent only once ) , this is specified in your\n\u201cbut i kept going . i was driven by youth and ignorance . and i got lucky . luck counts in acting . it\u2019s a big , big factor . once my career took off , it had its ups and downs . like most people . except , in acting , most people don\u2019t have a career . i\u2019m lucky . i\u2019m not crying about anything . i took on the ups and downs . they took me on . sometimes they won . sometimes i won . \u201d\nbesides recounting the revolution from the perspective of its contemporaries , the movie also treats the time period as disturbing . rapid scene changes render the film sometimes disjointed but also convey the discomfort of the characters . numerous scenes are shot with dust flying everywhere . such conditions so annoy the hairdresser that he veils his face . but the use of dust can also reinforce the social message of the film . at one point casanova attempts to overtake the stagecoach with his own carriage . as it does so , the italian proclaims , \u201clet them eat our dust . \u201d the public stagecoach cannot compete with the private ( though very cramped ) conveyance which carries the aristocratic casanova . yet the very next day , casanova\u2019s vehicle breaks down as a wheel gives way , probably as the occupant notes , as a result of the race . even the noble conveyance has , in fact , failed .\n. i also did not detect any disturbing scratches , cuts , splices , or warps . all in all , this is a very strong presentation of an excellent film , which has been extremely difficult to locate and see during the years .

gianni ( gassman ) , a bourgeois opportunist , and nicola ( stefano flores ) , a radical intellectual film buff , are paralleled by the events and the history of italian cinema over the years . in this moving and amusing humanistic study of friendship , there are extracts from films by michelangelo antonioni , roberto rossellini , luchino visconti , federico fellini and vittorio de sica ( to whom the film is dedicated ) .\nthe 50 year story of a ballroom in france , from the 1920s . the people who go there is always the same , even the musicians . you can see all kind of people dancing all the fashion dances ( . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe intellectuals and artists receive the most favorable treatment : casanova in his role as a writer and observer , an italian opera singer on her way to an engagement , tom paine ( played by american harvey keitel ) and the famous r\u00e9tif de la bretonne who is la nuit \u2019s covert hero ( jean - louis barrault ) . these characters are shown to advantage by the script and camera lens . their words offer the justification for the revolution . paine is the one person in the film who is associated completely with the revolution and who receives an overall positive treatment . though revolutionary , he is thoughtful and embraces the notion of dissent . and perhaps in the most beautiful scene of the movie , casanova and the opera singer display their virtue by singing a snippet from le mariage de figaro .\nanother oscar - nominated film , the family ( la famiglia , 1987 ) , was a portrait of a bourgeois italian family seen through the eyes of an old retired professor , over a period of 80 years , all the action of which takes place in the same apartment .\nalthough the national assembly was persuaded to treat the flight as a kidnapping and louis kept his crown , tensions increased . only three weeks later , partly in response to this flight , parisian radicals petitioned for the end of monarchy . at a signing ceremony on the champs de mars , a military parade ground ( now part of the area around the eiffel tower ) , suspicion led to violence . the authorities invoked martial law . the national guard fired on the crowd , resulting in many casualties . such events rendered the creation of a stable , moderate regime impossible .\nrelies on an exceptionally strong script where humor and politics are mixed to perfection . substantial portions of the film are comprised of long conversations where a variety of social and political themes are addressed . some of the events seen in the film are fictional ; other , however , are factual .\nwhat scola apparently wants to do here is create a small , temporary community of many different lifestyles of the 18th century . he gives us an american revolutionary , a suddenly obsolete countess , a few servants , and a couple of the hugh hefners of their day , and shows the ways in which they advance themselves and defend their positions against the upheaval of the french revolution . as an idea , this is just fine , but as a film it grows tedious , especially since everybody in scola ' s 18th century seems to pose , meditate and strike an attitude before saying anything .\nis a period film , but the majority of the observations its main characters produce have a strong contemporary flavor ( you would be surprised to see how the film ends ) . there are also a variety of different predictions in it about the future of europe , some of which have already materialized .\ntwo years into the french revolution , as the first constitution was nearing completion , the royal couple grew restive . detained , more or less under house arrest , louis and marie - antoinette were becoming especially alarmed by the way the civil constitution of the clergy was transforming the church . and , of course , living in paris , they were never far from the populace which , while it had demonstrated some loyalty , had also revealed its potential for anger and violence . in this circumstance , the king played a double game , treating with the revolutionary government while negotiating with foreign powers for support and even armed intervention .\nas interesting as are the class vignettes , few historians would embrace them as accurate . the 1980s sexism and homophobia seem especially dated . but these images , it seems to me , capture quite accurately the actual point of view of moderate revolutionaries who prevailed in the assembly until 1791 and even of many jacobins later on ."]}

river position of each observation . distance between an individual observation and the river mouth can be calculated using mouthdist ( ) . in the case of multiple observations of a set of individuals , a summary matrix can be calculated using mouthdistbysurvey ( ) , which returns a matrix of distances from the river mouth , with each row corresponding to a unique individual and each column corresponding to a unique survey .\nin this case , the plots show evidence that movement was generally up - river between flights 1 and 2 and between flights 2 and 3 , that there was the greatest variability in upstream movement between flights 5 and 6 , and that movement was generally down - river in the latter part of the study .\nspatial data can be read directly from a point shapefile using pointshp2segvert ( ) , which returns the resulting river locations added to the data table from the point shapefile .\nusing an unnecessarily complex river network can greatly increase processing time . runs of segments can be combined using dissolve ( ) , which works much like a spatial dissolve within gis .\nrrrmc is a great facility which gives people of all ages and all walks of life a place to shoot safely and improve their skills at whatever level they are at from beginners to olympic level shooters . rrrmc also provides a social aspect to many who visit the range . the past couple of years we have [ \u2026 ]\nflow direction and directional ( upstream ) distance can also be calculated . for this to be accomplished , the segment and vertex of the river \u201cmouth\u201d , or lowest point must first be identified . the segment containing the river mouth can be visually identified from a plot of the river network . in the gulkana river example , the lowest segment happens to be segment 1 . identifying the lowest vertex of segment 1 can be done using the plot produced by showends ( ) , shown below . in this case , the mouth vertex happens to be vertex 1 . this will not necessarily be the case . after importing a shapefile into r , the segment vertices will be stored in sequential order , but not necessarily by flow direction . specifying the segment and vertex coordinates of the river network mouth can be done using setmouth ( ) as shown below , though it can also be set manually by direct assignment .\nfor route and distance calculation to work , the topologies must be correct , with all the right segments being treated as connected . the topologydots ( ) function can check for this , and plots connected segment endpoints as green , and non - connected endpoints as red . this is shown below , and all appears good .\nwhile \u2018riverdist\u2019 does provide tools for editing a river network that do not rely on gis software , it is strongly recommended to simplify the river shapefile as much as possible before importing into r . in particular , a spatial dissolve will likely be very helpful , if gis software is available . this will create a few long line segments instead of many , many short segments .\nin the example below , distance is calculated between the two points in a complex river network , using all three route detection algorithms , and calculating the time requirement for a single calculation .\nin the example below , the plot shows evidence of the instrumented fish beginning the sampling period near the river mouth , then migrating upriver , and finally ending the sampling period near the mouth .\nin some cases , such as when a river network contains a lake , the shapefile will contain long straight - line sections , with vertices retained only for the beginning and end . if point data exist in these regions , when they are converted to river locations , they will be snapped to the nearest vertex - in this case , one of the endpoints of the straight stretch . since it is likely that a greater degree of precision is desired in distance calculations , addverts ( ) provides a method of inserting additional vertices , wherever the river network contains vertices that are spaced at a greater distance than a specified threshold .\nin a typical workflow , a user will first import a projected polyline shapefile using line2network ( ) . this function reads the specified shapefile using the \u2018sp\u2019 and \u2018rgdal\u2019 packages , and adds the network connectivity , thus creating a river network object . if an unprojected shapefile is detected , an error will be generated . however , the reproject = argument allows the line2network ( ) to re - project the shapefile before importing it as a river network .\nbasic plotting is provided using a method of the plot ( ) function . see help ( plot . rivernetwork ) for additonal plotting arguments and graphical parameters . shown below is the gulkana river network , included as a dataset .\nriver network distance can be calculated directly with the riverdistance ( ) function . the riverdistance ( ) function calls detectroute ( ) internally , which the user will probably never need , but usage is shown below . the riverdistance ( ) function needs river locations ( segment and vertex ) for both starting and ending locations . specifying map = true as shown below is not necessary , but can provide a check to verify that the function is working properly .\na matrix of river network distance between two location datasets can be calculated using riverdistancetofrom ( ) , which can be similarly subsetted using the logical1 and logical2 arguments . row and column names can be added using the id1 and id2 arguments .\na matrix of the river network distance between every observation and every other observation can also be calculated using riverdistancemat ( ) . a use for this function might be if the user wishes to calculate all distances at once , and subset later .\nmost of the utility of the \u2018riverdist\u2019 package was designed assuming a truly dendritic river network , in which there is no braiding of channels and only one path exists between one river location and another . if this is not the case and a braided network is used , the user is strongly cautioned that the distances reported may be inaccurate . in the event of braiding , the shortest route between two locations is returned , but the possibility exists that this may not be the route desired .\nfor example , the route between two points goes downstream along a river for 100m , then up 20m on a tributary . specifying net = true will return a distance of - 80m . specifying net = false will return a distance of - 120m .\nthis issue is problematic , as it directly affects how connectivity is detected within the river network . without appropriate connectivity , routes and distances cannot be calculated . to address this issue , splitsegments ( ) automatically breaks segments where another segment endpoint is detected .\nriver direction and upstream distance are also applied in functions riverdirectionseq ( ) and upstreamseq ( ) which work like riverdistanceseq ( ) , riverdirectionmatbysurvey ( ) and upstreammatbysurvey ( ) which work like riverdistancematbysurvey ( ) , riverdirectionmat ( ) and upstreammat ( ) which work like riverdistancemat ( ) , and riverdirectiontofrom and upstreamtofrom which work like riverdistancetofrom . the upstreamseq ( ) , upstreammatbysurvey ( ) , and upstreammat ( ) use the additional net = argument , and all river direction and upstream distance functions use the additional flowconnected = argument .\nthe riverpoints ( ) function works essentially like points ( ) to overlay point data on an existing plot , but using river locations ( segment and vertex ) . the zoomtoseg ( ) function produces a plot zoomed to the specified segment number , or vector of segment numbers .\nthe overlap between the respective home ranges of all individuals can be described using homerangeoverlap ( ) this returns three matrices : first , the linear distance represented in the union of the home ranges of each pair of individuals ( $ either ) , then the linear distance represented in the intersection ( $ both ) , then the proportional overlap ( $ prop _ both ) , defined as intersection / union . approximately 78 % of the linear home range occupied by either individual 1 or 3 is shared by both of them .\nautomatically removing all segments not connected to the river network mouth can be done using removeunconnected ( ) . this may be useful if extraneous lines are retained from an import from gis . this function may take some time to process , and simplifying the network using dissolve ( ) is recommended .\nriver distance can be calculated manually between any two connected locations on a river network . however , a few common summary analyses were automated and are included in \u2018riverdist\u2019 . first , the riverdistanceseq ( ) function returns a matrix of the distances between sequential observations for a set of individuals observed multiple times . in the example below , three fish were observed ( or not ) during 5 telemetry flights . the dataset is shown first , then the output from riverdistanceseq ( ) . fish number 1 traveled 83 . 87 km between flights 3 and 4 , and was not observed during flight 2 .\nin the example below , segments 7 , 8 , 13 , and 16 need to be split in multiple places . since connectedness is not detected for the associated tributaries , topologydots ( ) shows the endpoints as red , or unconnected . in this case , calling splitsegments ( ) breaks the segments in the appropriate places , allowing for the network to be connected as it should be . it is worth noting that the user can specify which segments to split , with respect to which , which may aid in processing time and specificity .\nit is also possible to trim a river network to include only segments that are within a spatial tolerance of a set of x - y points . the trimtopoints ( ) function offers three methods of doing this . specifying method =\nsnap\n( the default ) returns a river network made up only of the closest segments to the input points . this is the simplest method , but may result in spatial gaps , as shown in the example below . specifying method =\nsnaproute\nreturns a network of the closest segments to the input points , but also includes any segments necessary to maintain a connected network . specifying method =\nbuffer\nreturns a river network made up of segments with endpoints or midpoints located within a specified \u201cbuffer\u201d distance of the input points . this may be advantageous if the user wants to include segments that are near , but not directly proximal , to the input points .\nthe resulting matrix of up - river position returned from mouthdistbysurvey ( ) , or another distance sequence returned from riverdistanceseq ( ) or upstreamseq ( ) , can be plotted using plotseq ( ) . a few types of plots are available , with two shown below . additional type = arguments can be seen by calling ? plotseq .\nthe output plot is the upper triangle of a matrix of plots , in which plot [ i , j ] represents the upstream distances traveled between observation i and observation j , for all individuals observed in those observations . each plot is overlayed with a horizontal line at an upstream distance of zero , for an illustration of up - river or down - river movement trend for that pairwise movement . it is worth noting that all sequential pairings of events ( first to second , second to third , etc . ) fall on the lower edge of the triangle , and this sequence of plots is the same as those given by plotseq ( ) in the previous example .\nriver distance can also be calculated between all observations of a single individual . in the output matrix shown below for individual 1 , the element with row identifier 1 and column identifier 3 represents the river distance from the location observed in survey 1 to the location observed in survey 3 , calculated as 83 . 6 km . an important note is that the distances reported are net distance between locations , and are not intended to be cumulative . specifying full = true reports an output matrix that includes all observations , with values of na if the individual was not observed . this allows the output matrices for multiple individuals to have the same rows and columns , thus being directly comparable .\na method has been provided to display kernel density calculated from point data , using river network distance . the makeriverdensity ( ) function calculates scaled kernel density at approximately regularly - spaced river network locations , with the linear resolution specified by the optional resolution = argument . a gaussian ( normal ) kernel is used by default , but a rectangular ( simple density ) kernel can be used as well . the survey = argument may also be used with a vector of survey identifiers corresponding to the point data . if the survey = argument is used , makeriverdensity ( ) will calculate separate densities for each unique survey , and a method of plot ( ) will produce a separate plot for each unique survey .\nin many cases , the cleanup ( ) function will be the recommended first step in fixing a messy river network object after importing it . the cleanup ( ) function should be called within the console , and interactively calls the editing functions in sequence . it then returns a new , edited river network object which can be edited further , or used as is . it may even be the most straightforward to call cleanup ( ) multiple times . if there were spatial oddities with the parent shapefile ( vertices out of order , or strange \u201cjumps\u201d in segments ) , the cleanup _ verts ( ) function interactively steps through each individual segment , providing a means to edit the vertices of each segment if needed .\nanother important note is that only projected data can be used , both for river networks and for point data . the \u2018riverdist\u2019 environment in r does not share the ability of gis software to project - on - the - fly , and treats all coordinates on a linear ( rectangular ) scale . therefore , the projection of all data must also be the same .\n# # minumum home ranges associated with each individual # # # # id range # # 1 2015 -

connected , riverdirection ( ) returns \u201cup\u201d if the second location is upstream of the first and \u201cdown\u201d if downstream . in the flow - connected case , upstream ( ) returns the network distance as positive if the second location is upstream of the first , and negative if downstream . if the input locations are not flow - connected , riverdirection ( ) returns \u201cup\u201d if the total upstream distance is greater than the total downstream distance , and \u201cdown\u201d otherwise . in the non flow - connected case , upstream distance in upstream ( ) can return one of two things , depending on the user\u2019s research intent . specifying net = true will return the \u201cnet\u201d distance ( upstream distance - downstream distance between the two locations ) . specifying net = false ( the default ) will return the total distance between the two locations , with the sign depending on whether the upstream distance exceeds the downstream distance .\nmaps can be produced by calling plot ( ) on an object returned from homerange ( ) . specifying cumulative = true will create plots with line thickness varying by the number of times an individual would have traveled a given section of river . for a cumulative plot , either a vector of survey identifiers must be used , or else the data locations must be in chronological order for each individual .\nan example of the use of this function might be computation of distance between observations of instrumented fish and a set of fixed river locations , such as contaminant sites . in this case , a similar function upstreamtofrom ( ) ( discussed later ) might be used , which would give the means to calculate up - or downstream distance from contaminant sites , with the option of examining flow - connectedness .\nthis is a very likely issue , particularly if the network was imported without changes in a gis environment . river network segments can be manually removed using trimriver ( ) , as shown below . using the argument trim = removes the specified segments , and using the argument trimto = removes all but the specified segments . the example below is fairly simplistic , but illustrates the usage of the trim = and trimto = arguments .\nonce the river network has been imported , some cleanup may be necessary , depending on the structure of the shapefile . ideally , there should be one segment between each endpoint or junction node , and the spatial extent of the shapefile should be limited to the region or network of interest . if the user has gis software available , it may be simplest to format the shapefile as desired before importing into r . however , functions are included for river network formatting in r if necessary . the cleanup ( ) function interactively steps through the formatting functions in a good sequence , and may be a good way to get started . if there were spatial oddities with the parent shapefile ( vertices out of order , or strange \u201cjumps\u201d in segments ) , the cleanup _ verts ( ) function interactively steps through each individual segment , providing a means to edit the vertices of each segment if needed .\nin this case , building segment routes and distance lookup tables takes a little more than a second , even with a fairly complex river network . calculating a single distance afterwards takes about 80 microseconds using segment routes and about 25 microseconds using the lookup tables . this dramatically saves time if multiple distances are to be computed , such as in a large matrix of distances , or multiple analyses . kernel density and k - function analysis is probably prohibitively slow otherwise .\nmake sure to look at the other western trio series included on the old corral . there , you ' ll find more info on ray hatton and the rough riders , bob steele and the trail blazers , and max terhune and ray corrigan with the range busters . in the ' memories ' section , you ' ll also find pics of some of these stars in later life , including steele , livingston , corrigan and terhune . from the main old corral webpage , you ' ll find webpages on tyler , steele , livingston , corrigan , renaldo , wayne . and under ' saddle pals & sidekicks ' , there ' s a large section on max terhune and some info on raymond hatton . and don ' t forget to visit dennis landadio ' s reviews of the mesquiteers films -

available resource for distance calculation along a river network . this package was written with fisheries research in mind , but could be applied to other fields . the \u2018riverdist\u2019 package builds upon the functionality of the \u2018sp\u2019 and \u2018rgdal\u2019 packages , which provide the utility of reading gis shapefiles into the r environment . what \u2018riverdist\u2019 adds is the ability to treat a linear feature as a connected network , and to calculate travel routes and travel distances along that network .\ncurrently three algorithms are implemented to detect routes between river locations , with the functions automatically selecting the most appropriate unless another is specified . dijkstra\u2019s algorithm is used by default ( algorithm =\ndijkstra\n) , which returns the shortest route in the presence of braiding . the sequential algorithm ( algorithm =\nsequential\n) may be used , which returns the first complete route detected . the sequential algorithm is much slower and is not recommended in nearly all cases , but is retained as an option for certain checks .\nif many distance calculations or a more sophisticated analysis is to be conducted , it is highly recommended to run buildsegroutes ( ) , allowing algorithm =\nsegroutes\nto be used . this adds route and distance information to the river network object , greatly simplifying distance calculation , and reducing processing time for each distance calculation . the buildsegroutes ( ) function also includes an option to calculate a distance lookup table as well . this may take a few seconds to run , but will reduce computation times even further - cutting the already - fast segment route algorithm time by 50 - 80 % . lookup tables can be calculated directly using buildlookup ( ) , but may be extremely slow to calculate without running buildsegroutes ( ) first .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 3 . 2 final / / en\nabove is the title lobby card from ghost town gold ( republic , 1936 ) , the second mesquiteers adventure and the first with max terhune ( and his dummy elmer ) .\nthree texas steers ( republic , 1939 ) was terhune ' s last as a member of the three mesquiteers . no question that john wayne is the lead and star -

[ 31 ] the sadhu was not technically a theologian but his writings and sayings were full of indian theology . [ 32 ] sundar singh was deeply convinced that christianity will make its entrance into indian hearts only when it is presented in indian form . he serves as an indigenous ideal to the indian church through his life as a sadhu . [ 33 ] the methods adopted by sundar singh provide the framework for an indian to express his christian commitment within his culture . [ 34 ] his teaching method was through parables drawing examples from every day life . [ 35 ] sundar singh never attempted for syncretism but was emphatic on the uniqueness of christ . thus , sundar singh challenges the indian church today to take indegenisation seriously .\nsundar singh may have influenced c . s . lewis in several ways . for example , the name singh comes from the sanskrit word for lion . because sundar singh was popularly perceived as the most christ - like man in lewis ' s day , it is possible that sundar singh was in the back of lewis ' s mind when aslan the lion came bounding into lewis ' s first story of narnia .

( as an adjective in sanscrit , sadhu means straight . ) if lewis had actually called his christian mystic the sadhu , some readers might have believed that his tale was a true account about the famous sadhu sundar singh .\nsingh , sundar . with and without christ . introduction by the lord bishop of winchester . harper & brothers , new york , 1929 .\nsundar singh had been a christian universalist ; he believed that all people would , eventually , attain salvation . writing in 1925 he argued :\nhowever , sundar singh received a vision of christ that ultimately changed the course of his life . after surrendering his life to christ , he devoted himself to the sharing of the gospel . upon discovering sundar singh\u2019s conversion , his father denounced and expelled his son from the family .\nnow this was the question which haunted my dad in his early teen - age years . in sundar singh god provided a meaningful answer .\nmeeting sundar singh or hearing him speak of jesus , made the whole gospel narrative come alive in a striking and incontrovertible manner to many in several parts of the globe . my dad and others known to me were amongst those who were deeply influenced by sundar singh ' s life .\nin 1922 a young indian research student , a . j . appasamy and the noted theologian and new testament scholar b . h . streeter published the sadhu , a study in mysticism and practical religion , in which the visionary aspect of sundar singh ' s life was first brought out into the open . it was also in this book that the name of emanuel swedenborg was first mentioned in connection with sundar singh .\nin 1905 , sundar singh was baptised into the church of india and shortly afterwards took the vow of a sadhu , giving away his possessions and , owning only a saffron robe , a shawl and a copy of the new testament , adopted the life of a wandering preacher .\nappasamy , a . j . sundar singh : a biography . published by lutterworth press in london , 1958 . first indian edition , 1966 .\non seeing the fabulous wealth which was offered to him , young sundar singh exclaimed ,\nall this gold cannot give me the peace which the lord jesus christ has given me .\nthe unshakable determination of sundar singh to follow jesus , only made his father more desperate and angry .\nwas sadhu a sikh ? not once sadhu called himself a former sikh . not once sadhu mentioned sikh doctrines let alone forsaking them . in his writings only at one place he referred that he was \u201cborn in a family that was commonly considered sikh . \u201d but then qualified it : that for his family \u201cthe teaching of hinduism was considered most essential . \u201d this was written in his book , \u201cwith and without christ\u201d published in 1928 , merely a year before sadhu\u2019s own death . frankly i am puzzled at all of this . how could his family be sikh but practices diehard hinduism ? why would he wait for so long to reveal his family links as sikh ? have sadhu and his church cohorts being putting up a smoke screen here\u2014 - killing two birds with one stone so to speak ? why ? was sadhu as a christian with an attached sikh name , leading an ascetic hindu way of life , a ticket too attractive for the evangelical church ? history texts tell us that sadhu\u2019s mother was really the genius behind to plant ideas in his mind of leading a life of a wandering hermit . for someone to be that important in sundar\u2019s upbringing without being named anywhere in the literature is mind - boggling ! his mother had hired the services of a hindu pundit and an old \u201csikh sadhu\u201d to teach sundar . sadhu sundar singh in his book , \u201cwith and without christ\u201d has devoted more than one page under the heading \u201cthe sadhu and i\u201d explaining his quandary over the questions with this supposedly \u201csikh sadhu . \u201d reading this questionable page , i realized that there is not a single word mentioned giving me any hint that sundar was talking of the sikh religion . moreover how could \u201csikh sadhu\u201d be a sikh ? something doesn\u2019t make sense . keep in mind , sadhu had three elder siblings born from the same un - named mother . it is apparent from the literature that this mother didn\u2019t impart hinduism to any of her first three children . if so why would she pick sunder , her youngest child , for this special exotic religious training ? again these detail questionings with no apparent answers doesn\u2019t make sense . i cannot help but reach a conclusion : sadhu was not a sikh and had no links with the sikh religion in any fashion whatsoever . this only further deepens the mystery on sundar . who was he then ?\nwe are just finishing our book group using the\nwisdom of the sadhu , teachings of sundar singh\n. the discussions have been amazing ! this is a must read book for all of those folks who are exploring their faith . we keep adding weeks to the . . .\nthere might as well be more of these jesus and other testimonies given out by sundar just like this one : \u201ci am christ whom you are persecuting . there is salvation only through me . if you believe me now , you will be saved . if you don\u2019t believe me you will be damned forever . \u201d what transpired on this faithful day cannot be verified . sundar is the sole witness . one is never sure what jesus actually spoke . sundar is the only person who is narrating his own supernatural incident . and unfortunately , with so many inconsistencies and profound contradictions inherent in the above - mentioned witness accounts , one has to ask : is sadhu reliable ? my answer is no . what is sadhu up to ? is he lying and why ? sadhu\u2019s psychological make up is prone to seeing visions which is fraught with many pitfalls . in one of the above accounts sadhu has mentioned the date december 18th without giving the year . c . f . andrews , who had known sadhu personally , mentioned the time \u201cdecember 1903\u201d for this incident . cyril j . davey , a christian biographer for sadhu has given the date \u201cdecember 3 , 1903 . \u201d which one is correct ? it\u2019s high time to ask : would the real sadhu sundar singh please stand up and tell the truth about him for jesus\u2019s sake ?\nin october 1906 , he set out on his voyage as another christian , wearing a turban and the yellow robe of a hindu sadhu , a plain gave to profound practice . singh saw himself as a sadhu , yet one inside of christianity instead of hinduism , on the grounds that he understood christianity couldn\u2019t infiltrate india unless it was in an indian way .\nkunick and marx received sundar singh and taught him some elements of the tibetan language and even gave him an interpreter to help him in his work .\non october 6 , exactly after 33 days of his baptism , sundar singh began his life as a christian sadhu . [ 6 ] he always had that aspiration in life which was instilled in him by his spiritual mother . he was distressed to see the indian church inculcating western culture and imitating their customs and failing to present the gospel in indian terms . sundar singh knew that a life of a sadhu was the best way to present the gospel message of christ to indians . his yellow robe won him admission into many villages and people listened to his messages earnestly . unlike the old hindu sadhus who were dirty and smeared themselves with ashes , sundar singh was clean , tall and well built and just sixteen years old . [ 7 ]\nthank you so much for publishing this wonderful book of the life and teachings of the sadhu , sundar singh , devout and faithful follower of the lord jesus christ . years ago a pastor gave me an old book about the sadhu but it was written in italian so i was so glad to find something in english . after reading this book i went ahead and orderd more copies to share with my friends in canada and united states !\nknown in his lifetime as india\u2019s most famous convert to christianity , sadhu sundar singh ( 1889\u20131929 ) would not approve of that characterization . he loved jesus and devoted his life to knowing him and following him , but he never accepted christianity\u2019s cultural conventions , even as he embraced its stark original teachings .\nin the mid 1940s bishop dr . augustine peters , a local evangelist of south india , searched out sundar\u2019s sibling rajender singh , drove him to the christian confidence and sanctified through water him in punjab . rajender alluded to numerous supernatural occurrences performed by sundar singh and individuals changed over to christ under his service .\npossessed of a burning heart , he was aflame to tell all whom he could reach , of the love of god in christ jesus . the image of an ill - kept figure , robed in filthy garments , trudging along the dusty indian road is the kind of picture that the thought of a ' sadhu ' conjures before one ' s mind . sundar singh was distinctly different . his person and attire at all times were clean . my father , during his sojourn with him , was not a little surprised at how clean sundar singh managed to keep himself and his sadhu ' s yellow robe .\nsadhu sundar singh was born on 3 rd september , 1889 in a rich sikh family in punjab . [ 1 ] his mother was a very pious woman who had a strong influence in his life . her prayer was that her youngest son sundar should renounce the world and become a sadhu or saint . she nurtured sundar singh in the sikh and hindu scriptures . her death when sundar was only fourteen years dealt a severe blow on him . [ 2 ] he started desperately longing for peace because of a deep unrest in his heart and began reading all religious books and even practised yoga . his father put him in a christian mission school in his village where sundar developed a profound hatred for christians . he went to the extent of tearing the bible and burning it into pieces and was admonished by his father .\nin october 1906 , he set out walking a road , wearing a yellow robe and turban . the yellow robe designated the\nuniform\nof a hindu sadhu , traditionally an ascetic devoted to the gods , who either begged his way along the roads or sat , silent , remote , and often filthy , meditating in the jungle or some lonely place . the young sundar singh had also chosen the sadhu ' s way , as a christian .\ngod granted sundar singh also to see a great personal victory in the conversion of his dear dad who had initially suffered much pain and embarrassment at sundar ' s conversion to christ . his dad approached him saying ,\ni want to be baptized by you .\nbut sundar singh said ,\nno , you must be ready to be baptized in the name of jesus christ by any true christian preacher .\nwhat a joy it was to sundar singh to see the triumph of the gospel in his own father ' s life !\nthe life of a sadhu was a chosen life of self denial , suffering and cross bearing . brought up in luxury in a rich family , sundar singh as a sadhu wandered barefooted , without any possessions except his thin linen garment , a blanket and a new testament in urdu . sundar singh preached the gospel in his native and surrounding villages and he wandered through punjab to afghanistan and kashmir , lands where christian mission work had hardly begun . [ 8 ] at this time , sundar singh met with mr . stokes , a wealthy american who came to india for missionary work and joined with him for some time in ministry . he learnt from him the ideals of st . francis of assisi and his life as a preaching friar inspired him . [ 9 ]\nfrom here on the life of sundar singh became most christ - like . being unwilling to denounce his master , it was not long before his family had rejected him . sundar took the saffron robes of the sadhu and began a life of spreading the simple message of love and peace and rebirth through jesus . he carried no money or other possessions , only a new testament .\nbecause many of them discuss the sons of light and the sons of darkness . this is the exact same term used in sadhu ' s book .\nindia , the country that gave birth to great religions \u2013 hinduism , buddhism , jainism and sikhism \u2013 continues to be a fertile ground for those seeking spiritual sustenance , a meaning to life , in general . the image of the sadhu in his orange robes is a common sight . and it was this very image that i encountered the other day that brought to mind the life and times of the indian christian ascetic \u2013 sadhu sundar singh 1889 - 1929 .\nat the young age of fifteen , sundar singh received a vision of christ and converted from his native hinduism to christianity . after his conversion , he became a sadhu - - an ascetic or holy man - - and for the next twenty - five years , until his death , he preached the gospel . at the master ' s feet is a remarkable collection of sundar singh ' s visions from god , organized in a dialogue between the\ndisciple\n( sundar singh ) and the\nmaster\n( god ) . he includes in this uncomplicated dialogue profound teachings revealed to him from god . these teachings focus on the important practical aspects of christianity - - sin , salvation , prayer , service , etc . - - rather than obscure or arcane theological discussions . truly inspirational , at the master ' s feet reflects the depth of sadhu sundar singh ' s dedication , and can encourage such dedication in all of its readers .\nsundar singh had been born into an important landowning sikh family in patiala state in northern india . sikhs , rejecting hindu polytheism and muslim intolerance in the sixteenth century , had become a vigorous nation with a religion of their own . sundar singh ' s mother took him weekly to sit at the feet of a sadhu , an ascetic holy man , who lived in the jungle some miles away . she also sent him to a christian mission school where he could learn english .\nwisdom of the sadhu , a collection of anecdotes , sayings , parables , and meditations , brings together the best of sundar singh\u2019s teachings . couched as they are in a distinctly indian idiom , they probe the essence of the gospels with unusual freshness and offer insights of great depth and value to every serious seeker .\ngeorge macdonald died on september 18 , 1905 . just then the young sundar singh decided to become a wandering sadhu , and less than three weeks after macdonald ' s death he set out on his twenty - fouryear ministry . when sundar singh died in the spring of 1929 , c . s . lewis dedicated his life to god and gradually began his own remarkable ministry . all three of these men ministered by public speaking , by writing , and by deep and constant prayer .\n> from here on the life of sundar singh became most christ - like . being unwilling to denounce his master , it was not long before he had been rejected by his family . sundar took the saffron robes of the sadhu and began a life of spreading the simple message of love and peace and rebirth through jesus . he carried no money or other possessions , only a new testament .\nwhen in the spring of 1920 an oxford don and his young indian tutee conceived the idea of writing a book about sadhu sundar singh , it was in their minds to interpret him to the west in terms that the west could grasp and according to a scale of values that the west could affirm . [ 10 ]\nsundar singh fell down before jesus and worshipped him . peace and joy finally flooded his soul . at breakfast he told his bewildered father ,\nthe old sundar singh is dead ; i am a new being .\n7 his conversion was obviously much like that of the apostle paul , and he told everyone who would listen .\n15 a . j . appasamy , sundar singh : a biography , ( madras , india : c . l . s . , 1966 ) , 7 . back\n18 b . h . streeter and a . j . appasamy , the message of sundar singh , ( new york : macmillan , 1921 ) , 68 . back\nsundar singh ' s serene and glowing countenance with its beautifully chiselled features made many people think that he closely resembled the lord jesus , even in his external appearance .\ni don ' t suppose that anyone has made the link between lewis and sundar singh before ,\nbede griffiths continued in another letter on july 27 , 1987 .\non reflection i feel that it is very likely that lewis heard of him through the cowley fathers with whom he was very close . in any case , sundar singh needs to be more widely known .\n17 ( the cowley fathers were the devout anglicans who had hosted sundar singh during his 1920 visit to oxford . )\nwhen parting with young daniel , sundar singh gifted to him his shawl , saying that he was giving it to him as a token of his love . the biblical parallel of the prophet elijah ' s mantle falling on young elisha being unmistakable , many said in fun ,\nthe mantle of sundar singh has fallen on daniel .\nas he trudged along a lonely road in an area particularly notorious for bandits , sundar singh was suddenly accosted one day by a bandit accustomed to summarily killing travellers and seizing and plundering their valuables . when sundar singh met this cruel man who blocked his path with an upraised sword , he meekly put down his head and expected the sword to fall at any moment . but , to his surprise , the man lowered his sword and his manner changed completely ! he could not believe that a man who was strong and tall like sundar singh would so meekly submit . wondering at the words of sundar singh he led him to a cave . the bandit took him into the interior of the cave . there in the nether part , sundar singh saw the skeletons of men who had been killed by him . the bandit exclaimed ,\nall these men have i killed ! will god forgive me ?\nthere sundar singh proclaimed to this desperate and wicked man the forgiveness which the lord jesus offers to sinners .\nsadhu sundar singh is one of the most fascinating and enigmatic spiritual guides of the twentieth century . rooted as it is in a distinctively indian style , his christian wisdom challenges western readers to step beyond theological ideas and taste the gospel itself . plough has done a great service by publishing the work of this wise and holy teacher .\n{ { cite news urltoken | title = sadhu sundar singh . | newspaper = [ [ the sydney morning herald ] ] | issue = 25 , 777 | location = new south wales , australia | date = 17 august 1920 | accessdate = 10 july 2018 | page = 6 | via = national library of australia } }\nwas sadhu a hindu ? on a number of occasions sadhu had described himself as a former hindu , and more than once mentioned of his hindu heritage by pointing out doctrines that are without question of hindu origin . sadhu made it clear , \u201cchristianity was fulfillment of hinduism . hinduism has been digging channels . christ is the water to flow through these channels \u2026 there are many beautiful things in hinduism ; but the fullest light is from christ . \u201d in 1922 while sadhu was journeying overseas , his expressed reservations about mahatma gandhi\u2019s satyagraha tactics was published : \u201c [ sadhu ] made quite plain his profound disapproval of mr . gandhi\u2019s method telling him in so many words that they can lead india to nothing but ruin and useless suffering . \u201d i learnt from gandhi\u2019s reply that sadhu and gandhi had met more than once . according to gandhi , talking of sadhu , \u201cwe had the closet communion\u2026 . we had long discussions over all these and other matters and he certainly left on me the impression that for a religious man no course left open . \u201d was sadhu involved in politics with gandhi ? evidence suggests he was . being a genuine hindu that he was and rightly so with so much of the efforts invested by his mother why sundar failed to mention her name ? something is fishy here and i have developed suspicions that sadhu\u2019s real history might be altogether different . could it be that sundar was a hindu boy raised by the missionaries and trained to carry out a double deception with respect to his allegedly hybrid \u201chindu - sikh model\u201d as conduit to proselyte the masses who had grown resistant to the christ\u2019s message ?\nto meet christ was only the beginning for sundar singh . he was a sikh . sikhs had endured terrible persecutions in their early history . as a consequence they were fiercely loyal to their faith and to each other . conversion to christianity was considered treachery . now every effort was made to woo or coerce sundar singh back to his ancestral faith .\nyet in the indian context that shaped sundar singh ' s christianity , all these aspects of exemplary christian religious life had strong parallels in indian traditions . the sadhu or\nholy man\nrenounces worldly life in seeking ultimate\nsalvation .\nin this way , sundar singh sought to demonstrate that christian faith and indian religious culture had much more in common than the christianity brought by foreign missionaries seemed to allow . indian christians understood and appreciated this , and by the 1920s , many european christians began to agree .\nif true , sundar in 1896 c . e . knew by heart the bhagavad\nfrom gujranwala in punjab . theoretically it is possible for sundar to have read and\nsundar singh ' s zeal for the lord jesus and his practice of christian discipleship comes as a rebuke to the soft , over - cuddled , comfortable christian believer of today .\nthere were too many who were drawn by mere enthusiasm or curiosity and by the renown of sundar singh , to peer closely at him or to seek interviews with him . sundar singh needed privacy and guarded it very carefully . he preferred not to speak more than twice a day , and used his time for long periods of prayer and communion with god .\nsadhu sundar singh came down to madras in 1918 intending to visit a few places . [ 15 ] by this time , his fame had spread far and wide and he was flooded with offers to preach all over south india . thousands of people flocked for his meetings with a keen desire to hear sundar singh . conventions were conducted in travancore where he was invited as a speaker . sundar singh went on to ceylon and conducted spiritual meetings of great power for six weeks . [ 16 ] he was greatly disturbed by the caste system prevailing in these regions and condemned them severely . his ministry to the eastern nations extended to burma , malaya , penang , singapore , china and japan . [ 17 ]\nsadhu sundar singh was an indian christian missionary . he once said : \u201cthose who determine not to put self to death will never see the will of god fulfilled in their lives . those who ought to become the light of the world must necessarily burn and become less and less . by denying self , we are able to win others . \u201d\nseveral biographies have been written about sundar singh which emphasize his piety , humility and christian witness . eric sharpe surveyed the biographical studies of sundar singh and discerned a number of significant discrepancies in chronological details , in the accounts of his christian conversion , and the accounts of his travels to tibet . sharpe indicates that writers in continental europe , england and the united states of america constructed different portraits of sundar singh . he argues that the different portraits disclose much about the way westerners thought about india in the 1920s and 1930s . sharpe remarks :\nsadhu\u2019s mental health : thanks to c . f . andrews for bringing to my notice that early on , sundar\u2019s father and his uncle regarded sundar as mad . this was based upon the facts they possessed in their hands . his siblings kept themselves away and it seems because of sundar\u2019s eccentric behaviors , he was rendered aloof . after sundar had adopted christianity he was let go and his family connections were cut off . sadhu , being a famous evangelist , was on a ride which he would have never imagined had he not left rampur village . if sadhu indeed had suffered from some psychiatric disorder , i suppose it might have been pointed out in his missionary journeys worldwide at least somewhere within the christian circles . come to think of\u2013it did . here are some of their views : 1 . father hosten , a jesuit at darjeeling , writing in the catholic herald of india ( 1923 - 1925 ) elaborated his impressions that the sadhu was a \u201cshameless imposter , who has invented the greater part of his life - story in order to win the reputation of sanctity . \u201d 2 . german jesuits published a series of accusations in a paper entitled stimmen der zeit ( 1924 - 1926 ) calling sadhu an \u201coriental deceiver , a childish visionary , who confounds the creations of his fantasy with reality . \u201d 3 . father hosten and dr . o . pfister wrote a book titled , the legend of sundar singh ( berne , 1926 ) . pfister regarded sadhu as a \u201cneurotic person whose sense of reality has been impaired , and who therefore tends , although unconscious that he is doing so , to misrepresent historical facts . \u201d pfister also believed to have discovered other morbid traits , such as sadism , in the sadhu\u2019s psycho - physical life . from the point of view of a psychoanalyst , pfister believed that sadhu\u2019s love to christ was \u201crooted in repressed infantile sex - complexes . \u201d\nsadhu sundar singh ( 1889 - 1929 ) was known in his lifetime as india ' s most famous convert to christianity . in the hindu tradition , a sadhu ( literally ,\none who is on the right path\n) is a holy man , saint or seer , one who has renounced the world for the sake of the path which leads to enlightenment . however , it could be said he rejected the western forms of christianity and instead adapted christ ' s words to india ' s unique culture and environment .\nreally an inspiring disciple of christ of the 21st centuary . the way jesus might have revealed to him and showed his love love might have pulled sadhu that he was called as christ where ever he goes . . . glory to jesus that he ( jesus ) has raised such people trained like him , to live for him . . . i praise god for rasing sadhu . . . . !

( courtesy omar ali khan )\nenough has been written about the bloody partition of the subcontinent ; of the largest known human exodus in history across the borders of west pakistan , east pakistan ( now bangladesh ) and india ; of the borders created in a blatantly slipshod manner by the british government before handing back power to the \u2018natives\u2019 . it was , as we all know , a brexit that left the subcontinent in shambles .\nas undivided india lost parts of itself due to religious and political divides , a vast populace , affected by the creation of the two nations , struggled to relocate itself . however , in the case of the film industry , religion was not necessarily the prime reason for many to shift base \u2014 possibly because the film industry then , particularly its capital bombay , was truly cosmopolitan and secular in nature .\nsome who chose to go to pakistan did so out of personal sentiment or simply to go with the tide . actor swarnalata was one of the few artistes who saw fame and success on both sides of the border in films such as rattan ( 1944 ) and later , heer ( 1955 ) . she recalled in an interview that the shift was actually no big deal . once her husband , producer - director - actor nazir , decided they would make pakistan their home , they just did .\nsinging star noor jehan , then one of hindi cinema\u2019s top female stars , was absolutely clear that she would go wherever the place of her birth was . when the village in question , qasur near lahore , found itself in pakistan , she decided to leave india . with noor jehan\u2019s exit , a formidable career in hindi filmdom with some extremely popular films \u2013 khandaan ( 1942 ) , village girl ( 1945 ) , zeenat ( 1945 ) , anmol ghadi ( 1946 ) jugnu ( 1947 ) and mirza sahiban ( 1947 ) \u2013 came to an end .\nthe \u2018village girl\u2019 song booklet . a noor jehan\u2013nazir starrer , gaon ki gori was the second highest grossing film of 1945 . ( courtesy upperstall . com )\nboth swarnalata and noor jehan were rare instances of big names within the film industry who opted for pakistan . most of the others who left , particularly from the acting world , were either veterans like ghulam mohammed and m ismail who had played character roles , or 1940s leading ladies like ragini and shamim , whose careers had begun to decline . many muslims who were doing well for themselves in the film world preferred to stay back in india .\nthere were people who made the reverse journey too . some prominent hindu artists who came to india from lahore included actors pran and om prakash , and filmmakers dalsukh m pancholi and roop k shorey . interestingly , a hindu distributor , jc anand , preferred to stay back in pakistan . he would go on to become one of the most successful producer - distributors across the border .\nthe effect of partition on the film industries of the two countries was radically different . though there was loss of some admittedly good talent from india , it was pretty much business as usual in bombay and the various film centres across the different parts of the country . the bengali film industry did suffer in that a large chunk of its market got taken away with the formation of east pakistan .\nsome of the brilliant , talented people who left india \u2013 apart from swarnalata and noor jehan \u2013 included writer saadat hasan manto , filmmakers shaukat hussain rizvi , wz ahmed and nazir , and composers feroz nizami , ghulam haider , and later in the mid - 1950s , khwaja khurshid anwar .\nposters of heer ( 1955 ) , produced by jc anand , and the poster of chan way ( 1951 ) , whose direction is credited to noor jehan since her husband filmmaker shaukat hussain rizvi didn\u2019t know punjabi . ( courtesy omar ali khan )\nlife in pakistan wasn\u2019t easy . unlike india , pakistan had just one major centre known for making films , lahore . however , the city was also one of the most affected by the communal fires of 1947 . the two major studios of lahore , owned by pancholi art pictures and shorey pictures , were razed to the ground . as a result , the pakistani film industry had to literally restart from scratch without any proper funding or any technical infrastructure whatsoever .\nwith most saleable names remaining in india , pakistan struggled to make its first film , dawood chand\u2019s teri yaad , which released on eid - ul - fitr , august 7 , 1948 . sadly , the film , starring dilip kumar\u2019s brother , nasir khan , and asha posley , was a complete washout . it was a poor production and fared badly in comparison with the technical proficiency and relative lavishness of hindi films , which continued to show in pakistan post partition .\nif the pakistan film industry finally got going from the mid - 1950s onwards , it was largely due to the pioneering efforts of dedicated filmmakers like nazir , sibtain fazli , anwar kemal pasha and wz ahmed . they not only overcame tremendous obstacles to create a viable film industry by giving opportunities to new stars like santosh kumar , sudhir kumar and sabiha khanum , but also fought a continuous battle with the all - powerful distributor lobby to ban or at least restrict the exhibition of hindi films . this was to help the indigenous film industry grow and flourish .\nironically , when nazir and swarnalata did finally come out with the first - ever silver jubilee film of pakistan , the punjabi movie pheray ( 1949 ) , it was a remake of one of nazir\u2019s earlier indian hit films , village girl , where he had starred opposite noor jehan .\nwith limited resources at his disposal , nazir made pheray at a cost of just \u20b965 , 000 within six weeks . it is said that the popular musical score of the film by ga chishti had the prolific composer record the film\u2019s seven songs in a single day !\nthe far from ideal conditions meant that a top star like noor jehan had to wait till 1951 to be seen on the silver screen again . the film was the punjabi film , chan way ( 1951 ) , whose direction is also credited to noor jehan , since her husband filmmaker shaukat hussain rizvi didn\u2019t know punjabi . chan way was a smash hit at the box - office . its songs , particularly tere mukhde da kaala kaala til way with its refrain of o mundeya sialkotia , were equally popular on our side of the border .\nand with the overwhelming success of her first urdu film , sibtain fazli\u2019s dupetta ( 1952 ) , \u2018madam\u2019 was well and truly on her way to building a glorious career in pakistan . first , as a popular singing star and then from 1960 onwards , as a playback singer for more than three decades .\nnoor jehan\u2019s departure from india in 1947 has always raised a hypothetical question among old - timers and historians : would lata mangeshkar have made it as big if noor jehan had not left our shores ? yet others wonder if \u2013 despite all her tremendous achievements in pakistan \u2013 it was the mallika - e - tarannum\u2019s loss in the long run . because unlike the rich variety of indian film music with influences from across the country , noor jehan\u2019s singing , great though it was , largely restricted her to urdu ghazals and robust punjabi songs .\nthe wounds caused by partition have been difficult to heal especially in the cinematic world of the two countries . as compared to other arts especially literature , filmmakers have only sporadically explored partition on either side of the border . this is especially true in the early years following independence .\nkaran bali is a filmmaker based in mumbai . he is also the co -

anandaji\nit opens with a speeding train \u2014 indian cinema\u2019s trope of modernity , but also its reminder of links to lost homelands , and of other trains bearing the refugees and victims of 1947 . indeed , we quickly learn that this is a lahore - delhi train , and that it carries hindu and sikh women being repatriated to india five years after partition . one of these is the heroine , shanti ( \u201cpeace\u201d ) , and as she tells her sad story to fellow refugee women , we go via flashback to a time \u201cbefore people began making foreigners of their neighbors\u201d and to a verdant and luxurious lahore of sprawling parks and rustic lanes , in which shanti and her girlfriends dance and wave their billowing dupattas to the carefree and romantic song baaje payal ( \u201canklets ring\u2026 [ i don\u2019t know for whom my young heart waits ] \u201d ) .\nreturning to her parents\u2019 mansion , shanti discovers that her engagement is indeed being arranged , to the same handsome but haughty young motorist \u2014 one kewal ( rehman ) , the son of a wealthy attorney \u2014 she had saucily accosted on the road . their embarrassed second meeting abruptly transitions to the scene of their wedding , then to a blissful nuptial night which is interrupted by arson and rioting , as the hysteria of partition begins and hindu families must flee lahore .\nthis is the first of several cuts that are so rough that ( although the encyclopaedia of indian cinema warns that \u201cdesai seems impatient with the finer points of plot structure\u2026\u201d ) one suspects that the print used to make the digital version has been damaged and repeatedly ( and badly ) spliced over the years . more ( and worse ) confusing transitions will follow , though it is still possible to make out the basic story .\na second flashback sequence shows shanti , stumbling alone through the lanes of riot - torn lahore , saved from a mob by a powerful pathan ( afghan warrior ) named abdul rehman khan ( pran ) . though shanti is terrified of what this \u201crescuer\u201d may do to her , khan greets her as a sister and announces that his own sister , sakeena , has been left behind in india . he will shelter shanti while never even looking at her face , in the hope that his sister may receive similar treatment \u201cfrom some hindu or sikh . \u201d viewers thus learn that shanti , even in five years in pakistan , has not been dishonored , and so is ultimately eligible , within the film\u2019s conventional patriarchal ideology , for reunion with her husband , though this will be repeatedly deferred and challenged .\nthese plot twists lend considerable emotional weight to the film , for the plight of many \u201cshantis\u201d was well publicized in 1950s india . spurned by her natal family in a heart -

year - old son with the islamic name \u201canwar . \u201d and though shanti insists that kewal is his father , the little boy gives his dad\u2019s name as \u201cabdul rehman , \u201d and kewal flees in a rage .\neven on an obvious soundstage set , the delivery of this song\u2019s rousing lyrics , accompanied by dramatic quick cuts of the confluence of milling crowds , the principal characters , and the towering effigy , makes for a most satisfying climax .\nin hindi films railways helped to showcase historical events . they often became metaphors of a journey , both internal and external , writes prabhjot parmar\nbollywood cinema , railways are an integral part of the film landscape , and frequently of the film plot . be it a moving train , a bogie , diesel , electric or the good old steam engine , or the railway yard , platform or the station from outside on the streets , coolies , vendors , and so on , all find exposure on the film screen . the plots and uses are multiple as the railways occupy a memorable niche in bollywood films : symbols of the journey of life of simply evocations of everyday life ; a shared space of communal harmony and national integration ; a good location for a fight sequence ; source of income for singers , vendors and coolie ; a site for developing romance to list but a few . some of the famous romantic songs are set in trains ; on the other hand , trains also are sites of popular moral and philosophical film songs .\nare obvious examples of the centrality of railways in bollywood films . meetings and separations in trains or on railway platforms serve as a key moment in the stories of innumerable films , thus underscoring the presence of the railways in bollywood cinema . various representations of railways generate different emotions : laughter , grief , joy , exhilaration , suspense and trepidation . however , none is as distressing and painful as the portrayal of trains in films on the partition , in which railways acquire the saddest , most poignant , and the bloodiest representation .\nthe number of people killed in trains was far less than those killed on ground , but the manner in which train killings were executed are shocking examples of genocide and are\nthe most famous images of the communal holocaust of 1947\n.\nthe ambushes and killings in trains and at various railway stations in punjab make the communal massacres difficult to forget or ignore . no image of partition , textual or in the mind\u2019s eye , photograph or film , escapes from the overloaded trains with men , women and children moving from one side of the border to the other .\nthe prevalence of insaniyat over the beastliness during partition is evident in pamela rooks\u2019 train to pakistan , which is a faithful filmic representation of khushwant singh\u2019s novel of the same name . this film provides a picture of mano majra , a village in indian punjab , close to the newly formed border , in which trains play a vital part in the everyday life of the villagers , and subsequently , trains become the cause of turbulence in an otherwise calm and peaceful village . it is where trainloads of dead refugees arrive ; the iron railway bridge on a nearby river is the site of the climactic action . shortly after the film begins , several brief shots depict the consistent presence of railways in mano majra .\npresents the story of jugga ( nirmal pandey ) , a dacoit . he is in love with nooran ( smriti mishra ) and is having an affair with her right under the nose of her almost blind father . one day a rival dacoit gang kills the village moneylender and the police imprisons jugga instead . in his jail cell , jugga meets iqbal , a communist worker , who is also in jail because of the moneylender\u2019s murder . while jugga is in jail , mano majra begins to feel the impact of the partition . tensions rise as trainloads of dead bodies keep arriving from pakistan . because riots break out elsewhere , here too the ripples of destruction reach . all villagers , sikhs , muslims and hindus live in a close - knit harmony .\nas the story progresses , the nervousness related to the partition and refugees and massacres begin to creep into mano majra . their chief point of entry is the railways , either the station or the railway lines in the wilderness . the first train scene begins with a close up of a steam engine that stops at a small railway station and a man ( iqbal ) disembarks . there are several policemen on the platform , including thanedar sahib , the inspector ( mangal dhillon ) . walking up to the stationmaster , iqbal shows his ticket upon exit and enquires about a place to stay in the village . a routine scenario on a railway station subsequently is followed by a shot of a crowded train carrying passengers shouting slogans ,\nlong live india . this is our india . india is ours\n. in the foreground , the stationmaster stands with his back to the camera , which first is looking to the right to capture the incoming train and gradually moves to the left as the train passes the station . it passes through mano majra without stopping , making the train a mobile device of nationalism that claims the regional as the national territory with slogan shouting .\nexcerpted from\u201dtrains of death : representations of the railways in films on the partition by prabhjot parmar from 27 down new departures in indian railway studies . ed . ian . j . kerr . orient longman\nin an ominous sequence shortly thereafter , a train halts at the station early in the morning . again , the back of the stationmaster is in the foreground . the engine driver is the only person who gets off . in this shot , wrapped in the steam of the engine the driver silently looks with weary eyes at the stationmaster . in the next shot , the magistrate arrives at the railway station . the inspector is there to receive him but there is no verbal exchange , they only share glances full of heavy seriousness . as they walk into the station , both are framed within the entrance at the end of which a train is visible . along with the police inspector , the magistrate boards the train for an inspection . the sound of buzzing flies conveys the stench of death before the camera moves and the officials gaze over the compartment that is full of butchered bodies . it is evident that several trains full of corpses arrives at mano majra and under the military command , mass funeral pyres are prepared outside the village . a few scenes later , as the villagers gather to see a large number of dead bodies floating in the river , another train comes from the direction of pakistan . it does not blow its whistle nor is its light on . one of the villagers appropriately calls it\na ghost train\nbecause dark , quiet and dangerous it moves towards mano majra . the final railway scene of train to pakistan comes during the climax as the steam engine takes a train full of muslim refugees towards pakistan . it crosses the iron bridge safely and an aerial shot shows the train chugging through widerness towards its destination .\nthe british , as well as the congress and muslim league did not anticipate the degree of communal violence and migration that would accompany the division of indian empire . there were no preparations to maintain social order in case of communal violence . as train to pakistan demonstrates , previously thriving communally harmonious rural areas were overwhelmed by the impact of the events occurring elsewhere . mano majra best exemplifies how the local identities are transformed and shaped anew by national politics and in so doing , create divisions amongst the inhabitants of the same village . although the harmony among the residents of mano majra remains , men like malli and his goons act as disrupters and as the representatives of the newly acquired national identity . they loot and kill because it is their profession as dacoits ; however , there is an added fervour in the name of religion and nation in their acts . in contrast , jugga , also a dacoit , maintaining allegiance to his fellow muslim villagers , sacrifices himself in order to ensure their safe passage across the border by train . he climbs on the railway bridge and cuts off a large rope tied across to kill the refugees sitting on the rooftop of the train . while he is cutting the rope , malli and his men spot him and shoot him . jugga , tenaciously hangs on to the bridge and falls down after he successfully foils malli\u2019s plan ."]}

era love of materialism , is to simply put ratboy before the public and watch the money roll in like gangbusters . when marketing executives , talent scouts , and agents ask just how ratboy can be sold as an image , her mind goes blank . she just assumes a rat - child will be a sensation , prompting the creation of ratboy t - shirts , movies , and commercials . to put it bluntly , nikki is an idiot . she\u2019s cruel , money - grubbing , and downright despicable . and she\u2019s supposed to be one of the better characters !\ni began by saying\nratboy\nwas perplexing . one of the things that puzzled me was why locke wanted to make this story in this way . she plugs a fantastical creature into a screenplay made up of standard - issue hollywood characters and situations , and ends everything with a chase rather than an emotional resolution . what was the point ?\nratboy\nis very odd , but not in an interesting way .\nshe never forgot the sneak preview of ratboy in seattle . feeling exposed and anxious , she called it an \u201cexcruciating\u201d experience . but locke would always be proud of ratboy in spite of its shortcomings . it\u2019s an uneven film . in the cropped pan & scan vhs version , the sound is bad and the image is not so good . but obviously , because of the animosity between wb , clint and sondra locke , the film still wasn\u2019t available on dvd for years . i can\u2019t see any other reason . wb have so much rubbish on dvd , with extras and director\u2019s cuts\u2026 ratboy , which really deserved to be restored , wasn\u2019t .\ninstead , the film turns into an attack on the crass commercialism of modern american society , with special emphasis on the media . sondra locke , who directed the film , stars as a slick operator who hopes to benefit from her friendship with ratboy . she meets him by posing as a reporter , but before long she ' s a full -

in which ratboy and his protector , locke , are arrayed against a mixed bag of bad guys , and the movie cops out by ending in a big chase scene .\nlocke was exhilarated by this response . she called eastwood from france , telling him ratboy had had a standing ovation . the reply was a silence followed by a mumble : \u201cthat\u2019s good . so when are you coming home ? \u201d\nratboy blends several themes and styles ; it shows society\u2019s indifference and hypocrisy , the search for the spotlight which remains prescient and supposedly will resolve every issue in people\u2019s lives . it shows how being different stands out in this shadowy game .\ngeorge ' ratboy ' skogstrom is a member of samcro on the fx original series sons of anarchy . played by german actor niko nicotera , ratboy makes his debut on the episode\nout\nin the series ' fourth season . playing a recurring role through the series ' fourth , fifth , sixth , and seventh seasons , he was last seen in the series ' finale episode ,\npapa ' s goods\n, in the series ' seventh , and final , season .\nthe making of ratboy was a constant struggle : eastwood didn\u2019t allow script changes , refused to allow locke to hire david alan grier ; interfered with the use of at least one location locke wanted ( nikki\u2019s house ) . the director explains :\nas flawed as it may be , ratboy is a fable that will endure \u2013 a testimony of what sondra locke could achieve as a director .

( patrick mcgilligan , clint : the life and legend , p . 380 . )\nthroughout the years , the majority of eastwood\u2019s fans were quick to dismiss ratboy as a bad film . the film has a high rating on amazon , despite the vhs version available for years , and which the director considered \u201cterrible\u201d . sondra locke told wand\u2019rin\u2019 star :\nduring the spring of 1986 , sondra locke was filming ratboy while clint was busy with his campaign to be elected mayor of carmel . he was so involved in the city\u2019s problems that he had nickname in town , \u201cthe phantom of carmel\u201d . ratboy was a test to both locke and eastwood . when we see the film now , it appears that the only effort he did was to ruin it as best as he could , while locke was trying to make it as best as she could , struggling with all the personal and professional pressures involved .\nnext they are locked in a room together and told that only one will be allowed out alive . eventually clay orders their murders but juice intervenes and kills miles then frames him for the theft . ratboy and phil are released and tasked with burying miles under happy ' s supervision .\nthis is no small point . the man in charge of the makeup in ratboy was rick baker , who\u2019d won an oscar five years before for his groundbreaking work in an american werewolf in london . locke was thrilled when he accepted the job . she has good memories of this collaboration :\n\u201cthere were several elements which drew me to the script of ratboy . i grew up loving fairy tales , and ratboy is a sort of modern day fairy tale . it has a mixed tone of comedy and drama , a tone i love in a film . it is set in hollywood with a theme of false values , and i had long observed hollywood as being a center of false values . and finally , it is about being different , not fitting in . this is something i personally felt and understood from childhood , growing up in a small town in tennessee . \u201d\nmake no mistake , this kind of premise is the stuff of nightmares , and ratboy is exceedingly dark from the outset . i\u2019ve never seen a film so determined to make the human race seem completely without merit , a movie populated by people so callous and deplorable you want to lock them up for life . there\u2019s a sequence at a party where ratboy becomes disoriented from the aforementioned alcohol , and the room spins in a hallucinogenic manner as drunken laughter and distorted faces fly across the screen . i\u2019ll ask this again : who made this film ? who wants me to be this depressed ?\nby not sticking to its through line and tacking on a cutsey - wootsey ending , ratboy made me feel i had wasted my time . as a whole it is nothing more than a strange example of filmmaking and storytelling , with thinly written characters played by barrel - scraping actors who move through a wafer thin plot . i apologize if this sounds like a complicated perspective , but i can\u2019t help but feel of two minds . like a lot of movies in my collection , ratboy is just weird and dumb enough to reserve a permanent seat , but not nearly entertaining enough to warrant a second look .\nin spite of its commercial failure , her work and ratboy \u2019s reviews impressed the top executives at wb at the time , and she was encouraged to follow that path . locke put three other projects in development with wb . these projects were all dropped when locke and eastwood split a few years later .\ntopics include : use of mincraft in previous and future work , origin of ratboy genius and summer solstice baby , early youtube reception ,\npotato knishes ,\nhappyman on the radio , happyman hiatus , galactic superheroes , what ' s next for rbg , other music , gattaca , popularity of rbg .\nwhen a bolt of lightning hits colin lamppost ( and his toy bird , bird ) , he is zapped millions of years into the future ! life will never be the same again . bird has been brought to life as not bird and colin\u2019s dna is fused with a rat giving him superkeel powers . future ratboy is born !\nthis drama follows an unlikely\nratboy\n( s . l . baird ) after he is discovered living in a makeshift shelter in a garbage dump . along comes nikki morrison ( sondra locke , also the director ) who meets the half - rodent , half - human creature and takes him over . she talks to a hollywood producer and holds forth about him on a television talk show but when she brings ratboy to a press conference , he bolts for freedom - - enough is enough . the garbage dump was better . from that point onward , nikki begins to change her mind about her treatment of the misbegotten creature and he develops an ambivalent feeling for her .\nterry semel wanted sondra locke to star in ratboy . according to mcgilligan , locke wasn\u2019t at ease when she tried to explain in interviews how she got the project approved . she claimed that the eastwood connection wouldn\u2019t necessarily convince wb . if anyone wants to read about clint eastwood\u2019s behavior during this period , i\u2019d advise both mcgilligan and locke\u2019s books .\nthe screenplay was called ratboy : \u201cit was a quirky and adult fairy tale , a social satire of sorts , about a young woman named nikki who is so obsessed with fame and fortune that she\u2019s blinded to real values in life . she happens upon a creature , half boy , half rat , and decides he\u2019ll be her ticket to the \u2018big time\u2019 . naturally , the little innocent ratboy is almost killed in the process , but , in spite of that , \u00e0 la beauty and the beast , he falls in love with her , and through his pure love for her , nikki has an \u2018awakening\u2019 . \u201d ( the good , the bad , and the very ugly : a hollywood journey , p . 192 . )\nsondra locke\u2019s cry for independence came at a bad time for clint eastwood , as he was laying the ground for his prepared critical acclaim . it\u2019s no wonder he tried to suppress ratboy . he did win that acclaim , but was it really worth it if he only could share it with blind fanatics of his \u201coeuvre\u201d and people who never question the marketplace anyway ?\nlocke admitted that \u201cthe early screenings of ratboy were incredibly painful\u201d . \u201cif i had ever felt vulnerable as an actress , it was nothing compared to being responsible for the entire end result . it would be just as comfortable to parade around the theater in the nude as to sit through an audience\u2019s reaction to a film i directed\u201d . ( pages 197 and 198 . )\n\u201ci am always open to listening to the ideas of those around me . i felt that the script needed some work , and so i showed it to a few friends and co - workers . i knew that ratboy was a special , eccentric piece that gordon would really \u2018get , \u2019 and so he was one of the people to whom i showed the script . \u201d\nsondra locke ' s ratboy aims to be a fairy - tale style misunderstood monster movie in the same vein as , king kong or frankenstein . it ' s a strange story that boasts an even stranger cast of character actors including : sondra locke . robert townsend . larry hankin . sydney lassick . gerrit graham . louie anderson . john witherspoon . jon lovitz . bill maher . courtney gains . m . c . gainey . what it comes down to though is strangely enough just kind of exploitative . the drama is far and in between and the empathy and care for ratboy ( or eugene ) himself isn ' t handled as well as it should have been . we care for this creature , but why ? what is his destiny ? this is one strange flop .\nthe \u201cstatue of bigotry\u201d as lou reed called it , still stands up as a present from france , and it\u2019s really strange how europe looks at american films . it\u2019s true , most still think eastwood is an icon . but , in time , his importance may diminish as ratboy \u2019s cult status may grow between his weeds . perhaps it\u2019s an overstatement , but don\u2019t forget it\u2019s the old continent . eastwood isn\u2019t that \u201cnew\u201d . and films who deal with genuine feelings in a genuine fashion don\u2019t always fall prey to fashion here . it\u2019s no coincidence that , when john cassavetes died , g\u00e9rard depardieu rented paris\u2019 theatres and showed his films . ratboy seems to be an independent film inserted in a pop art frame ; too big for its origins and beyond those of a great studio , with a malicious producer at the helm .\nif you didn ' t get a sudden urge to kill ratboy or any of the other characters in this movie , you were the lucky one who fell asleep ! the amount of cameo appearances by some well - known actors was astonishing . did they not receive the script before hand ? do they have no conscience ? i do believe the writers had good intentions to make this movie heart - warming . i ' m sure the director ( sondra locke ) had a pure dream to turn this story into a storybook fantasy about a loving and sensitive boy who just happened to be a rat ( ? ! ) . let me tell you , there are only two good things this movie has to offer ; robert townsend and ratboy ' s cool makeup job . well , actually the makeup job sucked as well ! i give it a resounding thumbs down ! !\nthe implications of a true rat boy are fascinating ; remember what francois truffaut made of his\nwild child ,\nand how intriguing the resurrected neanderthal was in\nice man\n? the idea of being able to communicate with another species has been the subject of lots of movies , including\nthe day of the dolphin\nand countless science - fiction films . but\nratboy\ndoesn ' t seem curious about that aspect of its story .\na beady - eyed guy with a pointy face and chisel - like buck teeth approaches you . he ' s dressed in a filthy suit , four sizes too big , and acts as twitchy as a rat in a rocking chair factory . he sports a slight tan , huge arms and legs , a beer belly , and big ole beard with two white stripes in it . ratboy ' s occupation is as a merchant and informant . . . one could say he is simply a trader with very varied wares .\n\u201ci recently appeared at a local college where i had been asked to view and speak about ratboy . it was painful to sit through the screening of the vhs copy \u2013 which is all that is available currently . it was drained of all original photographic beauty which i felt had so captured the look of hollywood and los angeles . to see the cropped and scanned images was deeply depressing . it\u2019s an experience that i will not repeat . i long for wb , at least , to release the original film version on dvd , but that may not happen . \u201d\nall the while ratboy is desperately trying to learn about the world around him , screeching out barely audible sentences while being manipulated , mocked , and harmed by everyone he meets . and i do mean everyone . there isn\u2019t one character in this whole movie who could claim to have a soul . nikki and her brothers are too busy schmoozing at hollywood - style parties to even notice their discovery , a boozehound / pimp pretends to be his friend in order to jump on the bandwagon , and sneering extras try to shove alcohol down his throat while making fun of him at every turn .\na very young person that dedicates his life at playing online games . they are usually of ages between 4 and 12 , with an obvious lack of life experience , and annoying voices characterized for its very high pitch . most important , they are always spoiled assholes and always act aggressively towards other players , specially older ones . if they feel somehow threatened they will immediately insult you . nevertheless , if you respond in the same manner , they will run and / or cry and tell their parents ( just like a rat ) . the most known ratboy nests are minecraft and league of legends .\nsubscribe to classic trailers : urltoken subscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken like us on facebook : urltoken follow us on twitter : urltoken ratboy ( 1986 ) official trailer - sondra locke , robert townsend movie hd it ' s so hard to be different . . . welcome to the fandango movieclips trailer vault channel . where trailers from the past , from recent to long ago , from a time before youtube , can be enjoyed by all . we search near and far for original movie trailer from all decades . feel free to send us your trailer requests and we will do our best to hunt it down .\nrat - boy is a neglected child who decided to live in the sewers with the rats , the only ones who would accept him . he lives today to put fear in children as he raises his army of rat soldiers and mice minions ! he also creeps kids out by talking to people in the shower like that weird clown in the movie\nit\n, freeky shit man i pissed my pants , i hate clowns . anyway , be prepared for the uprise of ratboy !

\u201d \u201cthe golds , who were in charge of making the film trailers , agreed : \u2018the first script is a little flat - footed , but this one\u2019s great\u2019 . \u201d\nfritz manes was in a difficult position \u2013 he was a longstanding friend of clint\u2019s , as well as clint\u2019s producer , but he was also the producer of ratboy and was locke\u2019s friend too , as much as he could . at the time , she couldn\u2019t make the changes in the script deemed necessary because of eastwood\u2019s constant interference . \u201cbut he insisted that i expand the whole cop chase part of the script , which i had wanted to de - emphasize as i thought it seemed like something from a different film . \u201d \u201cthere are these odd , flat - footed sections . that\u2019s what i really resented about his input , and still resent\u201d , writes locke in her autobiography ( p . 408 ) .\neven now i\u2019m sure you as an astute reader have begun to construct a plot around this film\u2019s title . yes , good reader , this is indeed the tale of a boy who is part rodent and part human , whose interactions with society prove to be complicated and ultimately miserable . he is discovered and kidnapped by two seedy hoboes who plan to sell him to the media for mucho greenbacks , but is soon swiped by the shrewd nikki morrison and her bumbling brothers ( one of which is played by louie anderson\u2026go figure ) . like the hoboes , nikki plots to use ratboy to attain fame and fortune , but rather than keep him in a cage she uses her feminine wiles to keep the creature on a romantic string .\na physically deformed and somewhat feral teenager whose face looks like the snout of a rodent lives in solitude and misery in a city dump . two rednecks come across his lair and kidnap him . they inform the papers about their find in case someone might want to see or interview the\nratboy\n. only nikki , a bored fired window dresser pretending to be a reporter shows up . she wants to profit off of the child as well , so she calls the cops who arrest the rednecks and she takes the child with her to her flat . she and her two dummy brothers try to think of a way to profit on the boy , but he tends to get easily agitated and depressed and no one wants anything to do with him except possibly hurt him emotionally or even physically .\n\u201ci knew that gordon could do it because he was good at character voices . when he had acted in new york , he did some commercials where he had to portray animals and cartoon characters , etc . i asked gordon to give me an idea of how he thought ratboy would sound . i liked it so much better than all the voice over artists who had auditioned , that i recorded it without using his name . i knew that clint would not approve it if he knew it was gordon\u2019s voice . i was surprised and baffled by clint\u2019s whole childish and unreasonable objection to my wanting to use gordon\u2019s talents in any way whatsoever . he had always liked gordon , and often asked for his thoughts and ideas in the past . for instance , gordon picked the circus music for bronco billy . again , it seemed arbitrary and all about control for the sake of control . \u201d\n\u201ci was thrilled when wb agreed to produce ratboy for me to direct . their only request was that i also act in the film . at first , this was a daunting idea . how could i undertake this on my first film directing . i reasoned that i didn\u2019t really have a choice and so i agreed . it turned out to be a little less difficult than expected . as the story is told largely from my character\u2019s point of view , i could use my performance to drive the story\u2019s pace , etc . i have found that one of the techniques i use as a director is to go through the script and \u2018get inside\u2019 each character\u2019s point of view \u2013 as if i am portraying each character . this way i can understand the story from every point of view . and so , in portraying nikki , the process of \u2018acting\u2019 the character was just one step further . \u201d\nthen , just as the movie couldn\u2019t get any filthier or more disgusting , we get a happy ending in the last two minutes . swear to god . ratboy is believed to be dead , but nikki learns with ecstasy that no , her furry little friend has escaped the confines of humanity and is running to the country to be free . cue the opening chords of a poppy tune as our hero runs into the sunset . what ? huh ? did anyone really expect me to buy such a schmaltzy conclusion to a film without one note of optimism during its whole run time ? give me a break people ! at least show me some respect and stick to your through line . what\u2019s most insulting about this finale is how it tried to sell me on the idea of how nikki had \u201cchanged , \u201d how she had gone from being a materialistic wench to someone who has learned a lesson about acceptance and love . blech .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ?

[ \u2026 ]\nin many ways , american psycho is an extremely faithful adaptation . a lot of the dialogue and scenes are taken straight from the book . and yet , when i saw you last , you were sort of implying that you thought mary harron was hamstrung by it .\non his end , ellis was pretty hands - off with\namerican psycho\nafter dealing with the arduous process of working with the adaption of\nless than zero .\nstill , according to harron , he would have liked\na more violent version .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\npope is thinking differently about the fate of the film and putting those thoughts into action right from the start . before the era of digital distribution and social media an indie film faced a virtual cliff face of obstacles in order to find an audience .\nmike picked up industrial arts power tools ipa for our discussion of mary harron ' s unforgettable adaptation of brett easton ellis ' s american psycho . pull a chair up to the banquet table and join us for one hell of a feast for one hell of a movie !\n12 . the events bateman mentions in the phone message to his lawyer transpire in the book , but not in the film .\nmusic from film helps you identify music from movies and tv shows by explaining what was on screen when the songs were playing .\ntightly wound screenplay mercifully substitutes a propulsive structure and relatively restrained images for the book\u2019s genuinely pornographic longueurs \u2014 the sex and sadism here are both largely offscreen . still , \u201c american psycho \u201d begs an unsettling question : if its hero is such a zero , what exactly is being satirized ? does he serve to amplify an amoral era\u2019s more callous aspects , or does the film , like the book before it , merely inventory them ? to the extent that it\u2019s harrowing , \u201c american psycho \u201d remains indefensible as critique ; only in the marginal details \u2014 disposable pop soundtrack , fussed - over decor and cuisine , prostitutes numbed by their commodity status \u2014 does it achieve anything approaching satire .\npicking up \u201camerican psycho\u201d now , you can\u2019t help but ask yourself : do people get outraged by books anymore ?

revolutionary russia , with classic musical numbers sure to put a smile on your face . between its incarnations on the stage and on screen ,\nfiddler\nwill be immortal .\nanatevka and the jews who live there have been embraced by audiences worldwide . the standard line on fiddler \u2019s \u201cuniversality\u201d comes from a japanese producer , who supposedly commented of the show , \u201cit\u2019s so japanese . \u201d solomon adds to this lore , quoting arranger bobby dolan telling director jerome robbins , \u201cas you must know , these jewish people are equally irish . \u201d but \u201cgentiles\u2026gushing over [ fiddler \u2019s ] ethnic familiarity\u201d is not the story solomon offers the reader of this deeply researched book . instead , solomon focuses tightly on fiddler \u2019s \u201ctalismanic power to endow an event or object with a warm glow of jewish authenticity . \u201d a more specific subtitle to her book might be : a cultural history of fiddler on the roof and jewish identity in the 20th century .\nvery hard to take with the film sitting up and practically slobbering in its eagerness to prove how loveable it is .\n\u201cfiddler on the roof , \u201d which opened last night at the rivoli , has traveled a long way from its source , from prerevolutionary russia , from the pages of sholem aleichem , even from the broadway stage , and it has become so rich and affluent it seems to have forgotten its humble beginnings in recognizable human experience .\nit\u2019s new year\u2019s day and i\u2019m in hospital with my three -

over - the - place postnatal hormones . but no . the real reason for the tears ? fiddler on the roof is on the television .\nrarely offstage , rarely on hiatus ,\nfiddler on the roof ,\nhas already been back on broadway for four revivals , played london ' s west end four times and remains among broadway ' s 16 longest - running shows ever . as it celebrates its 50th anniversary , there have been stage productions all over the world \u2014 including 15 in finland alone \u2014 as well as in thousands of schools , community centers and regional theaters .\non sept . 22 , 1964 , after the long - awaited broadway opening of\nfiddler on the roof ,\ninvited guests gathered at new york ' s swank rainbow room to celebrate . the first review that came in that night was from herald tribune critic walter kerr , and it wasn ' t very good . but producer harold prince read it aloud to his guests anyway .\nthe magic of film ( spellbinding the audience via editing and cinematography ) and the magic of theater ( the thrill of live acting and tactile manipulation of space ) are two different types of magic , and fiddler exploits each separately in both mediums .\nwe discuss the character of the fiddler . alistair tells me he represents tradition itself ; there is a need for tradition to hold the communities together and this is portrayed in a wonderful relationship between the fiddler and the central character , tevye .\nnorman jewison filmmaker ( sd ; 49 : 33 ) is a vintage featurette from the time of the film ' s production and looks at some of the challenges of filming on location in a foreign country .\n\u201cfiddler on the roof\u201d \u2014 created by jerry bock ( music ) , sheldon harnick ( lyrics ) , joseph stein ( book ) and jerome robbins ( direction and choreography ) and based on the stories of sholom aleichem \u2014 was a blockbuster success when it opened in 1964 , smashing all box office records in its day . the initial production played 3 , 242 performances , the longest - running show on broadway for years . there have been four broadway revivals and countless national tours ; some 200 schools across the country put it on each year .\ni too think the movie version of fiddler on the roof is superior to the broadway production i saw back in 1970 . . . the movie is one of the best filmed musicals of all time in my estimation . . . the acting , and the cinematography especially are among hollywood ' s best work . . . norman jewison did an amazing job in bringing this musical to life and this film doesn ' t get enough credit when filmed musicals are talked about . . .\nis here for all you quotes ( and lyrics ) spouting fans of the movie based on the musical play . this script is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and / or viewings of fiddler on the roof . i know , i know , i still need to get the cast names in there and i ' ll be eternally tweaking it , so if you have any corrections , feel free to\nthe film was a surprise hit in japan , where its obvious love for crumbling tradition struck a chord with japanese audiences .\ni ' ve yet to see a stage production but the film version has been my favorite movie since i was 7 .\nan interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,\nsorry to bother you .\nmusical theatre at its most alluring . from the opening moment , in which a fiddler dangles his legs off a perilously high roof , you know that daniel evans\u2019s revival of this great sixties musical will have chutzpah to spare . hugely entertaining .\ni love the fiddler movie , and it is mainly due to the humor and pathos of topol . but i simply do not get the same enjoyment from a film as i do from live theater , no matter how perfect the film may be . there is something about the electricity of performance that no film can match . i will never get over the feeling of seeing ben miles in wolf hall , even if i like rylance in the bbc version . no risks with movies , and no unexpected magic .\ndavid has never seen fiddler on the roof on stage , which to him is an advantage . he tells me that final orchestrations have been done for all the major numbers and next week we will start to find the physical shape of the transitions where elements of the score may change . it will be a big coordinating process but also a very creative time in working out how to move from one scene to another .\nthe sorry state of the world gives us new reason to appreciate the depth of feeling so powerfully , so ingeniously embedded in \u201cfiddler on the roof , \u201d the much -

track , as an actor , director and producer , carpenter , choreographer and discoverer of new talent .\nhe was in showbiz for 80 years of his fruitful 90 years , and in films , for an astounding span of 65 years , through 61 films . fortunately , around 40 of these , all talkies , in hindi and marathi , are still accessible .\nhe made one film in tamil , \u2018namnadu\u2019 ( 1949 ) , and released its hindi version , \u2018apna desh\u2019 with telugu songs ( by t suryakumari ) in andhra , both not traceable today . when he was making kalidas\u2019 \u2018abhignyana sakunthalam\u2019 for the second time in 1986 , he wanted to make it in telugu also , with nt rama rao in the lead . alas , this did not materialise . neither did the plan to make \u2018navrang\u2019 in telugu for which two songs written by kosaraju and sung by k jamunarani were recorded by c ramchandra .\nlet\u2019s not break our hearts over the unpicked oysters ; let\u2019s count the pearls he left behind , pearls of lasting lustre and pervading influence .\nthe celebrated \u2018do aankhen barah haath\u2019 ( 1958 ) was first made as \u2018pallandu vazhga\u2019 ( 1975 , k shankar ) with mgr in the lead , by whose power over the box - office , it just broke even . the next year saw \u2018ma daivam\u2019 ( 1976 , ss balan ) with ntr in the lead . a damp squib . the film that melded colour , dance , music and lyric to an unprecedented height , \u2018navrang\u2019 ( 1959 ) was remade as \u2018suvarna sundari\u2019 ( 1984 , beeraa mastan rao ) . ramesh naidu\u2019s pleasant music was lost in the melee created by a new star - cast and inept handling .\nin all these films , the adaptations were quite faithful to the originals . the music was created anew and did not lift melodies . and it is not as though the performances were bad ; but the magic , the shantaram touch , was absent .\nwhat about stray influences , in framing , treatment , plot - motivation , music et al ? these are not skeletons tumbling out of the cupboard , but the genius\u2019 stimuli that led to the re - creation of something worthwhile . the most rewarding of such was \u2018jayabheri / kalaivanan\u2019 ( 1959 , telugu / tamil ) . though its tamil version sank without a trace , not even the beautiful score of pendyala appealing to the public , the telugu version was critically applauded . at least two of the songs , a heavenly combination of lyric / ( malladi ) and melody , \u201cmadi sarada devi\u201d and \u201crasikaraja\u201d , reverberate in a many a ghantasala homage .\n\u2018matwala shair ramjoshi\u2019 ( 1947 , baburao painter - shantaram ) was the matrix . this film in hindi and marathi had the regional folk entertainment tamasha as the background . an essential part of this , the lavni song - dance was not reproduced , in costume , choreography or music in \u2018jayabheri\u2019 but an important part of it , a competitive question -

independent india , a nexus formed between crime and high society . this was regurgitated in hundreds of films . and present day society pays obeisance to shantaram by following the screenplay of the movie in real life !\nthe co - author of this book , experienced journalist sanjit narwekar , sums up shantaram\u2019s greatness in just one sentence ( foreword , page 9 ) \u201chis greatest contribution as a director was that he understood the role ( s ) of the various technicians and blended their expertise into the making of the film ( s ) .\nfrom the book : \u201cshantaram rajaram vankudre was born on november 18 , 1901 , the second of five sons . his reputation as a good mimic\u201d got him into the gandharva natak mandali , where the ruling triumvirate were govindrao tembe , bal gandharva and ganpatrao bodas . shantaram did not care for the menial chores he was given ; and he could not be given important roles as he could not sing . he left the troupe and failed at everything else he tried , schooling , trying for a job in the postal services etc . he did work for a while in a railway workshop but an accident put paid to that .\nwith some difficulty he found a toe - hold in baburao painter\u2019s maharashtra film co . , in kolhapur , which in time turned out scores of personnel for the nascent industry . \u201chis golden moment came when he played the young farmer in a film that has become a classic ( all by word of mouth ; no one now alive has seen it ) \u2018savkari pash\u2019 ( 1925 ) . after doing roles on screen and odd jobs behind it , he was chosen by painter to direct \u2018netaji palker\u2019 ( 1927 ) \u201cbased on the exploits of shivaji\u2019s trusted lieutenant . his co - director was keshavrao dhaiber\u201d .\nthe maharashtra film co . gave him everything , including the name shantaram when he did the role of krishna in \u201csurekha haran\u201d ( 1921 ) , the subject familiar to us as \u2018maya bazaar\u2019 . baburao pendharkar , also in the concern , felt that his name in the railways , sr vankudre was unsuitable for an actor .\non june 1 , 1929 , v shantaram , keshavrao dhaiber , vishnupant damle and s fatelal , all working for the company , branched out into their own prabhat film co . they soon shifted to pune , built their own studio , and a reputation for quality that is historical . all kinds of films were made to which all contributed their mite but shantaram directed most of them .\npath - breaking films , mentioned earlier , rolled out and shantaram was riding the crest of popularity when a hitch developed . he had to leave because he side - stepped a lakshman rekha of the four , no intimacy with the heroines .\nshantaram , already married , left for bombay with this young actress jayshree , floated his own concern , rajkamal kalamandir , built a studio and stabilised himself . here too , he produced , directed and acted . the first was \u2018shakuntala\u2019 ( 1943 ) and the last , \u2018jhaanjhar\u2019 ( 1984 ) .\nhe introduced and encouraged many new directors . amongst them were character actor keshavrao date with \u2018bhakticha mala / mali\u2019 ( 1944 ) and \u2018andhon ki duniya\u2019 ( 1947 ) .\nbut for the first which coasted on splendid music , the other was a write - off . to cousin and photographer v avdhoot , he gave \u2018bhool\u2019 ( 1948 ) ; no go . to kumar chandrasekhar , \u2018banwasi\u2019 ( 1948 ) ; a dud . to nephew v ravindra \u201cchandannachi choli ang ang jaali\u201d ( 1975 ) , a worthwhile music - and - dance extravaganza . to son kiran \u2018zunj\u2019 ( 1976 ) , passable effort . to actress sulabha deshpande , a film for children \u2018raja rani ko chahiye pasina\u2019 ( 1979 ) , which turned out a childish exercise .\nmany of his kith and kin were given small on - screen opportunities ; only a few made it big later . first wife\u2019s daughters madhura and charusheela made a baby entry with \u2018bhool\u2019 and charusheela made a solo appearance in \u2018stree\u2019 . both sang in two short films for children released as one programme , \u2018kale gore - phool aur kalian\u2019 ( 1960 ) . son prabhat kumar made an appearance in \u2018teen batti\u2019 , nephew ravindra in \u2018jal bin\u2019 , grandson rahul in \u2018raja rani\u2019 . long - time secretary st eshwar was glimpsed in \u2018darchhain\u2019 and \u2018toofan aur diya\u2019 .\nsubsequently a star , rajshree was given a sprightly song in \u2018subah ka tara\u2019 but had a baby debut in \u2018apna desh\u2019 and her grown - up role was that of a court dancer in \u2018stree\u2019 . sandhya\u2019s niece ranjana , did a bit role in \u2018ladki sahyadri ki\u2019 a longer one in \u2018zunj\u2019 and a heroine in \u2018chaani\u2019 .\nchandrakantha was seen singing a stammering song , a duet with lata , \u201cdo haklon ka\u201d and then a vamp bit , in \u2018subah ka tara\u2019 and \u2018jhanak jhanak\u2019 . reshma and vandana ( later asha nadkarni ) debuted in \u2018mausi\u2019 and vandana had the court - dancer\u2019s role in \u2018navrang\u2019 .\nthe men weren\u2019t lucky at all , but for jeetendra , extra in \u2018navrang\u2019 and hero in \u2018geet gaya\u2019 the rest made no headway at all . satish vyas in \u201ctoofan aur diya\u201d , prashant in \u2018sehra\u2019 , abhijeet in \u2018jal bin\u2019 , prabhakar panshikar and kumar dighe in \u201cladki sahyadri ki\u201d were quickly forgotten .\nnanda and rajendra kumar , introduced as the romantic leads in \u2018toofan aur diya\u2019 were exceptionally successful later on .\naround a dozen music - directors worked for shantaram . it is a pity that vasant desai who came out of prabhat to be with shantaram , and did the maximum number of films , a dozen , isn\u2019t mentioned at all in the book . shivram krishna got his chance in \u2018surang\u2019 , did very well in \u2018teen batti\u2019 and got a few c class films outside before fading out . purushottam did \u2018bhool\u2019 and two songs in \u2018apna desh\u2019 to no effect . ramlal turned out lilting melodies in \u2018sehra\u2019 and \u2018geet gaya\u2019 but lacked lustre in outside films as ramlal hirapanna . satish bhatia in \u2018boond jo jan bayo gayo moti\u201d registered well but was not heard of later .\nhere are little known facts about shantaram i have unearthed over the years . he was no singer but his voice is heard conversing with court dancer rajshree , \u2018stree\u2019 , on a 78rpm disc ( n53981 ) . in the english version of \u2018dr kotnis\u2019 , he is heard reciting dewan sharar\u2019s lyric , \u2018life isn\u2019t a dream\u2019 as khan mastana\u2019s song \u201czindagi sapna nahin\u201d is heard in the background . he is heard chanting the words of \u201cai malik\u201d as the male chorus is singing it in \u2018do ankhen\u2019 .\nthe first sound - track recordings from an indian film were from prabhat\u2019s colour film \u2018sairandhri\u2019 ( 1933 ) . these were made in germany , by telefunken , when shantaram took the colour negatives for processing and printing . it is his hand - writing in marathi and hindi , that is on the record labels .\nactor mahipal who plays a poet to perfection in \u2018navrang\u2019 , actually wrote a song for \u2018mali\u2019 , \u201cham to bhole bhale mali\u201d .\nthe book is understandably reticent about certain domestic developments in shantaram\u2019s life . it does not mention sandhya\u2019s marriage to him and shies away from saying that she was the reason why jayshree moved out from shantaram\u2019s household .\non the whole it gives a consolidated picture of the maestro , the man and the film - maker . it omits to mention he did the choreography , termed \u2018mukta nritya\u2019 , for \u2018navrang\u2019 under the pseudonym of sham , and used a picture of his son - in - law in the promotional brochure of the film . the truth came out when the bombay film choreographers assn . chose to give this work the best choreography award for that year .\nfor an in - house production like this , it contains too many factual inaccuracies . whether it was ignorance or indifference , it remains inexcusable . here are just a few of the many .\nsandhya was not just two films old ( 69 ) when she was starred in \u2018jhanak jhanak\u2019 . apart from \u2018amar bhoopali\u2019 and \u2018parchhain\u2019 mentioned , she had done \u2018teen batti\u2019 for shantaram and the role of parvati in a mythological for an outsider before\nin \u2018navrang\u2019 every title is not heralded with nine colour pots . actually , the pots are only seven ; and they splash colour only at the last two titles , \u2018navrang\u2019 in hindi and english .\nonly one scene is from \u2018jhanak jhanak\u2019 and the other is from \u2018navrang\u2019 . the caption says otherwise ( 76 - 77 ) .\n\u2018sairandhri\u2019 was made in 1933 , not 1935 ( 10 ) . this is omitted in the filmography . so is \u2018boond jo ban gayi moti\u2019 ( 1967 ) .\nrajshree does not play the small role of shakuntala\u2019s sakhis in \u2018stree\u2019 ( 89 ) ; mumtaz does . rajshree plays the role of the court dancer .\ncaption for a still ( 106 ) says that sushant became a big hit as siddharta in \u2018jhanjhar\u2019 . no way . this is the least seen film of shantaram .\n\u2018jhanak jhanak\u2019 ( 1955 ) was not the first technicolour film ( 123 ) . mehboob\u2019s \u2018aan\u2019 was the first to have prints by technicolour , after being shot on l6mm kodachrome negative . sohrab modi\u2019s \u2018jhansi ki rani\u2019 ( 1953 ) was the first to be shot and printed in technicolor .\nit makes no mention at all of the wholly indian record label , young india , which was patronised by shantaram through ten years and eleven films , \u2018aadmi / manoos\u2019 ( 1939 ) to \u2018andhon ki duniya\u2019 ( 1948 ) .\nis it true that its hindi version failed to go beyond even the first day and that in some theatres the enraged crowd tore the seats and demanded their money back ( 102 ) ? it ran peacefully in madras for two weeks .\nshantaram wrote his autobiography in marathi , \u2018shantarama\u2019 and it was published in 1986 , later in hindi . what happened to the promised english version ? isn\u2019t it high -

movie maker , to my mind , would be federico fellini . things happen on an apparent whim , in his films , and the only way to keep up is to surrender to his rhythms , just like you have to surrender to sleep in order to begin to dream . take the nightclub scene in la dolce vita , for instance , where a clown with a trumpet steps out of the spotlight and begins to outline a mournful tune . by the time he gets around to kicking balloons into the air , we are in a trance , half - aware that a movie is unfolding before us , and yet unaware exactly how to respond logically . the only possible response is emotional , as if from inside a dream . by the time the clown retreats from the spotlight , his balloons tailing him like the pied piper\u2019s rats , we feel we\u2019ve experienced something profound and also primal . it\u2019s impossible to reconstruct these subconscious feelings with mere words .\nin christopher nolan\u2019s inception , the subconscious comes with an instruction manual \u2013 filled with words , charts , diagrams , and more words . apart from the stray visual of a cat strolling around a chemist\u2019s counter or the spider - web straps of a blonde\u2019s costume , there is no place in nolan\u2019s world ( even his dream world ) for the offhand shot and the glancing image \u2013 the kind of visuals that appear at the corner of the eye and vanish before we can train our focus on them , leaving us unsure if we did indeed see them , like in a dream . nolan\u2019s visuals are all in the centre of the screen , in the centre of our eyes , daring us to misread them ( and in case we do begin to mistake them to mean something else , the accompanying words , the endless explanations in the form of cheat - sheet questions and answers , steer us back to the one - and - only meaning ) .\nnolan is only interested in the \u201cnot being awake\u201d part of dreaming , not in the \u201cmanifestation of innermost feelings\u201d part . his dreams , therefore , are less fantastical than functional , woven around the plot of corporate spies who invade businessmen\u2019s dreams in order to extract and implant ideas . these dreams are cold and clinical , extremely businesslike , extremely lifelike . it isn\u2019t that we expect characters to reach their dream destinations by hanging on to the sleepers\u2019 neurons and swinging across , like tarzan on his vines , but couldn\u2019t their travel have incorporated a tiny bit of logistical magic ? then again , even when nolan made a movie about duelling magicians , it was less about magic than mechanics , and inception is more of the same , filled with elevators and cars , just like the real world . these dreams are hardly the hothouse mental states that are likely to rouse you in cold sweat ( or arouse you with a boner , for that matter ) . you don\u2019t need freud to interpret these dreams \u2013 just a logical thinker .\nit\u2019s easier , therefore , to view nolan\u2019s dream world as you would view , say , the moon or mars . it\u2019s essentially a fancy sci - fi backdrop with a unique set of characteristics and rules \u2013 or put differently , it\u2019s just the setting for a super - intricate video game . ( hence the need for that instruction manual , filled with such directives as , \u201carthur has about a couple of minutes . we have about 20 . \u201d ) we don\u2019t experience dreams in inception , the way we would in a fellini film \u2013 we merely leap in and out of them as the \u201cgame\u201d keeps ratcheting up to the next level ( or the level beneath , as nolan toys with dreams within dreams within dreams ) . and once we get past the gassy setup \u2013 a truly testing tract of tedium \u2013 we get the thrilling payoff , the real reason for the film\u2019s being , a mind - bending third - act stretch that instantly slots itself among the great action - adventure sequences of all time .\nthis is when we realise that , despite the portentous stabs at profundity , inception is essentially a glorified b - movie , an assembled - team heist movie , and that it could have been a great heist movie had nolan not allowed himself to be bogged down by self - aggrandising minutiae ( or allowed himself a bit of amusement ) . despite the recurrence of what could be an auteurist signature or thematic obsession ( his protagonists , whether superheroes or sorcerers , are work - bound men haunted by women they\u2019ve lost ) , his is not so much a cinema of ideas as illusions . his stock in trade is the sleight of hand , and he may well be the cleverest packager of clich\u00e9s ( or cinematic references ) in hollywood today . not a single action segment in inception is truly visionary in the never - seen - before sense , and yet , we feel we\u2019ve never seen it before because of the conceit of dream layers \u2013 or video - game levels , if you will .\nthe exasperating thing , though , is that the rules of nolan\u2019s video game are hardly complex enough to warrant all that buildup , all that fuss . anyone who worships at the shrine of the matrix ( or any space - time - continuum adventure , for that matter ) \u2014 and that would certainly cover the core audience for this film \u2014 would be able to cotton on such concepts as \u201cthe kick\u201d and \u201climbo , \u201d without having to endure nolan\u2019s elaborate physics - meets - transcendental - meditation lectures , and a lot of this dead time could have been more usefully spent in detailing the tortured , loose - cannon protagonist . ( that would have invested the terrific twist , at the end , with more emotional heft . ) but nolan is the kind of filmmaker who likes to tell , then show , then tell us about what he\u2019s just shown . for someone with such a surfeit of smart ideas , it\u2019s baffling he\u2019s so convinced about the dumbness of his audience .\nvijay\u2019s madrasapatnam is a reasonably diverting entry in the honourable cinematic tradition known as the epic for dummies , and it takes its cues from titanic , the most famous epic for dummies of all time . as with the waterlogged blockbuster , the period setting \u2013 the last days of the british in india , filled with trams and vande mataram - spewing revolutionaries \u2013 is merely scenery for a rich - girl - poor - boy love story , and it\u2019s this richly recreated backdrop that distracts us from the obviousness of the proceedings . ( there\u2019s also a strong lagaan hangover , especially with the first song being in anticipation of rains . ) the aspect that may linger with chennai - ites , though , is that the cooum , at one time , actually flowed . people took boats rides on it . today , the only thing people take on it is a dump . inadvertent or not , it\u2019s a splash of cold water , this realisation that our city was better off in the hands of the brits .\ncopyright \u00a92010 the new sunday express . this article may not be reproduced in its entirety without permission . a link to this url , instead , would be appreciated .\ngreat set of thoughts on inception . . par for the course for you . .\non madrasapattinam the trailers did make it look like \u2018mangal pandey for dummies\u2019 ! but i am still interested in this kind of \u2018masala\u2019 . love your final line here !\n@ brangan : i do hope you had something better to do while you churned out these two \ud83d\ude00 hardly a few sentences on the tamil film and a para or three about inception ( and a few stock brangannite phrases on the monthly priyan rubbish ) . working on another script are we ?\nre inception , like i said in my blog , it feels more like a business strategy paper submitted to management by a consulting company than a movie . it was too practical . calling inception a \u201cdream\u201d film would be like taking the martin luther king \u201ci have a dream\u201d speech literally .\ni perfectly agree with you regarding your views on what inception doesn\u2019t offer but why do you want to thrash the movie by comparing it to something like one from felini\u2019s when nolan didn\u2019t intend to make a dream movie . to me his intention was to make a movie purely based on logistics with almost no plot holes in it , in which he was fairly successful . i don\u2019t think we should compare a movie to one of felini\u2019s which has a dream reference in its story , why can\u2019t we judge the movie based on its own merits . nolan\u2019s views on dreams are his own as were of felini\u2019s but did felini ever wanted to show gravity defying stunts in the dreams or lots of fistfights and gunfights - no , but nolan wants to and gives a good enough reason for them in his movie . the point i want to make is that both nolan and fellini or any other director are very different in their styles of filmmaking and according to me we should enjoy their different works and pov\u2019s instead of comparing them .\ni\u2019ll say the same thing that i said over at the last bitty ruminations post : the dreams in \u201cinception\u201d aren\u2019t supposed to be surreal \u2014 they\u2019re specific creations by people who designed it in the real world \u2014 which means that they aren\u2019t going to be the same as they are in a fellini ( or lynch ) film .\ni do agree with the parts that you point out as a weakness \u2014 the over - explanation was not needed \u2014 but i disagree with that first criticism that a lot of film critics have been making with regards to this film .\n\u201cnot a single action segment in inception is truly visionary in the never - seen - before sense , and yet , we feel we\u2019ve never seen it before because of the conceit of dream layers \u2013 or video - game levels , if you will . \u201d\nwhile this may be true ( to an extent ) \u2014 i still feel that the anti - gravity sequence is easily one of the most astonishing we\u2019ve seen in years .\nabsolutely agree \u2013 this is a so - so caper movie disguised as a mind - bender . i have no idea why this has been touted as a seriously complex movie \u2013 for big chunks i felt i was trapped in a badly given physics lecture on discovery . and the grand objective of the caper took my breath away in its sheer banality . all this for planting this idea ? good grief ! the action was also so - so \u2013 i can\u2019t think of a single scene which even had the paisa - vasool dhamaal effect of say , mission impossible . i think the woman - lost angle was also so overplayed that i got completely impatient and wanted to give cobb and his wife an ots by the end of it . they came across as such self - absorbed jerks \u2013 all that time in limbo and they could only make an unpopulated crumbling city ? at least saito had fun in limbo recreating his empire , guntoting goons and all . and what a waste of such stars like ken watanabe \u2013 michael caine had a sneeze - and - miss - it role and poor postlethwaite had to content himself with a brief drooling role . sigh .\nthanks . perfectly encapsulates what irritated me about inception\u2019s conceit . even the characters\u2019s quips like how someone shoulda dreamed up a beach instead of a snow fortress ( which is exactly what i thought before the line comes ) and such like\u2026its like nolan threw in those in - jokes and other cheat sheets almost defensively to override the questions the audience would\u2019ve asked\u2026and what further riles me is all the other reviews using the \u2018original\u2019 buzzword\u2026the idea , just about , but the execution no way .\nps : dunno if i missed it but the falling van causes the characters in the next level to float but is there some explanation given as to why it doesnt spill over to the other levels ? and the scene where cobb reaches the old saito seemed to happen instantaneously\u2026looked like a cut dunno .\n\u201ca lot of this dead time could have been more usefully spent in detailing the tortured , loose - cannon protagonist . \u201d i thought there was more than enough information supplied to keep us invested in the emotional stakes of the protagonist . were you looking for nolan to show us a more screwed up version of cobb\u2019s subconscious ?\ndude the dreams were interwoven , that\u2019s why they needed all the other people , so the person would dream what they wanted him to dream . there wasn\u2019t much space for the experience of a random dream , cos it was all planned . they created a world for the person inside his dream . the third dream sequence did make it sort of campy , but i wanted to know if it over shadowed the rest of the movie for u , like it did for a few others . also , a lot of the audience that left the theater did not understand much of it\u2026 after a one time watch , i\u2019m still struggling with a view concepts , to be honest . the explanation he gave was needed for most of us , i\u2019d guess\nthe perils of being a movie critic i suppose ? you can\u2019t just kick back and enjoy the beauty of inception for what it is . its not a glorified b - movie , or a heist flick , it is a beautiful love story about loss and redemption .\nnot a big fan of nolan are you ! remember your between reviews column for \u2018the dark knight\u2019 \u2013 you were not very impressed then , though everyone was going ga - ga . have you reviewed batman begins / memento / prestige \u2013 if yes , can you please give me the link . \u2018epic for the dummies\u2019 \u2013 lol !\nyour review of inception capturted the uneasiness with which i left the theatre . . that nagging feeling that it there was a large lacunae - your review precisely detailed that lack of surreality that one would hope to experience\u2026even the camera work during the dreamsequences were a series of special effects\u2026where one would have expected some dali - like moments .\nsatyam ; wow . i\u2019m going to have to set aside some serious time to read that . thanks .\nakshay ahuja : i wasn\u2019t comparing the two filmmakers at all . i was saying that a dream movie would be like fellini\u2019s . and that it\u2019s more useful view nolan\u2019s world as \u201ca fancy sci - fi backdrop with a unique set of characteristics and rules\u2026\u201d\nradhika : also , it looked like nolan wanted to go freudian with that bit about \u201cthe need for father\u2019s approval\u201d and all that . but in the end he didn\u2019t go that way , opting instead for spectacle . i did like the action a lot , though .\narun : ah , but indian films have to be \u201cemotionally involving , \u201d you see . we don\u2019t hold foreign films to the same standards \ud83d\ude42\nsenthil : i guess i was just looking for more of him \u2013 alone \u2014 like in shutter island . most of what we saw of him was with his wife , and after a while that got monotonous .\npr3m : once the dream sequences began to unfold , i was quite gripped \u2014 campy or not . also i\u2019m saying that there should have been an entire dream that was \u201crandom , \u201d as you call it . but those little flourishes like the cat and the spider - web dress \u2014 those \u201crandom\u201d extras might have added to the off - kilterness of the world . because they do say that one part of the dream is what they deliberately construct , while the other part if from the subject\u2019s subconscious . i saw only the former in the film .\nraj balakrishnan : oh , i\u2019m a big fan of memento , inception and prestige . didn\u2019t mind the two batman films , just didn\u2019t think they weer all that great .\n@ arun : > > dunno if i missed it but the falling van causes the characters in the next level to float but is there some explanation given as to why it doesnt spill over to the other levels ? yeah , i also had that doubt . and if the logic is that time is expanded in the next level , then even if not exaclty floating , there could have been the sense of a slight moonwalking experience .\n@ brangan : just keeping you on your toes \ud83d\ude1b also , i find that some formatting has got screwed up in some of the blogs that you imported ( case in point , your\u201d the prestige\u201d review ) or maybe it\u2019s just me \u2026 .\n@ radhika / arun : i am not really sure but i read somewhere about how the perception of physical sensation rippling down drops with each level down . like how saito will feel lesser pain as the levels go deeper . so that explains the perception of gravity too i believe .\nbr : i am not really buying the fellini comparison . i think you\u2019re comparing a literal dream world with some sort of surrealistic cinema . again , like how many have pointed out , these are planned / created dreams with a predetermined architecture and all that with no room for fantasy . i mean nolan does choose to show it\u2019s possible with that ellen page sequence on how they walk with the city folding down etc . but yes , i agree with the whole talky tedium part .\nbala : did i review prestige ? i can\u2019t even remember that far back . damn , my gray cells are dying \ud83d\ude42\ngradwolf : not comparing the two at all . see my response to akshay ahuja .\nbecauseat some point the subconcious manifests itself as the id and not the superego .\nyou\u2019ll notice that di caprio\u2019s inner dreamscape was completely silent and unpopulated , while murdoch jr\u2019s dreamscape , at its lower levels was cold and cruel .\ninception didn\u2019t work for me the way eternal sunshine of the spotless mind did ( as far dreams / surreal / reality swapping movies go ) and you laid it out in great prose the problems that inception gave me ( barring the action sequences ) . somehow i could never feel for cobb or anyone till the end whereas jim carrey breaks your heart with his memory retention issues . did you \u201ceternal sunshine of the spotless mind \u201d or any other kaufman creation ?"]}

starring b - movie legend sybil danning ( grindhouse , howling ii ) , the red queen kills seven times shows that there s more to gialli than black - gloved killers !\nwithout getting too deep into the film ' s ostensible\nmythology\n, the painting depicts the internecine struggle between a black queen and red queen , hence the title of the film . little evelyn is evidently the murderous red queen in this scenario , but in one of this film ' s really haphazard narrative lurches , once the story has moved forward fifteen years , there ' s then a\nopens , warring young sisters kitty and evelyn are told by their grandfather of the history behind one of the paintings in the castle they call home . some years before the red queen and the black queen were similarly warring sisters who maintained a feud into adulthood until the black queen murdered the red queen . a year after this , the red queen returned from her grave to murder 7 people , the last one being her sister . the ominous suggestion being these two girls are headed down the same dark path unless something can be done . skipping ahead to kitty as an adult , her grandfather dies and his will must be read . evelyn is said to be in america but the truth is , kitty knows her sister is dead\u2026because she killed her . or did she ? and who is the figure in bright red cloak who is murdering various people around kitty ? perhaps once again the red queen has returned from her grave for revenge .\na series of murders links fashion photographer kitty wildenbruck ( barbara bouchet ) to a curse on her family bloodline and a devilish spectre known as the red queen .\nan age -

filled hate . in anger , one dark day the black queen murdered her sis , and so it would seem their deep enmity would finally be laid to rest . but legend has it the red queen returns every 100 years to take her revenge . . . by killing 7 people in and around the family . flash to the present : fashion photographer kitty wildenbr\u00fcck (\nthe simple plot revolves around a family curse in the form of an ancestral red queen who embarks on a murderous spree every 100 years . when sisters kitty ( barbara bouchet ) and fransizka ( marina malfatti ) inherit their estate , several acquaintances are killed by a woman in a red cloak with long dark hair . is this the vengeful spirit of the red queen , or someone with more earthly intentions using the legend to their own purposes ?\nthe painting that sent little evelyn into a murderous frenzy is a disturbing image of the so called \u201cblack queen\u201d stabbing the dark haired \u201cred queen\u201d in the neck . both characters in the painting could easily be viewed as older versions of the 2 quarreling girls at present . the curse is explained in a rather quick and confusing manner that caused me to have to rewind it a few times , so allow me to explain it to you more clearly\u2026 .\nduring all of this , the supposed red queen makes her rounds violently knocking off other characters that seem to know a thing or two about what\u2019s going on . knowing that she must be the seventh victim , kitty really starts to fear for her life as the body count increases and gets ever closer to seven .\ntrqkst is by far one of the better giallo films this side of deep red , with which ( as alan jones notes in the audio commentary ) it also shares parallels . trqkst ( aka the lady in red kills seven times ) , is the second disc in arrow video\u2019s killer dames box - set and remains a must for genre aficionados and film fans in general . despite some quivering performances and occasionally juddering plot swerves , it\u2019s a powerful , enrapturing , trend - setting fable ; a near blood - shot , shimmering giallo classic with deep crimson visuals , surreptitious plotting and a clandestine sting in its tail .\nfeels like a 98 - minute tour through a decade of italian horror filmmaking . the familial , haunted - castle backstory involving the red queen evokes the gothic era of the early 60s , when bava and steele reigned as king and queen , while the bright , gaudy fashion world aesthetic recalls bava\u2019s transition into color filmmaking . these two contrasting styles clash throughout\nbut the hub connecting the various spokes of sunday\u2019s episode , \u201cthe queen\u2019s justice , \u201d was the queen herself , who , we were reminded by mycroft the iron banker , was the spit and image of her father even as everyone else was trying to distance themselves from the sins of their ancestors .\nthe titular red queen is supposedly the spirit of a long - dead , tragically murdered daughter of the wildenbrucks , a wealthy clan who still resides in the family castle . legend has it that her unrested soul returns every hundred years to claim seven victims , including any wildenbruck daughters . presently , two sisters , kitty and eveline , live in the castle along with their grandfather , who relays the sordid family history as if it were some twisted bedtime story . even though history seems to be repeating with these two bickering sisters , the grandfather assures them that the red queen is not due to return for over a decade , in the year 1972 .\none standout murder sequence that scores the films some major points involves the red queen driving a car and dragging a victim , stuck in the car door , along the road . this sequence brought to mind another very similar moment from one of my favorite films , dario argento\u2019s legendary masterpiece deep red , but trqk7t predates that film by a good three years\u2026 .\n\u201cthe red queen\u201d is a real winner , and lets you know just how good it will be without wasting any time . the introductory prologue features a little blonde girl ( named kitty wildenbr\u00fcck ) playing with her doll . her mean brunette sister , evelyn wildenbr\u00fcck , steals it and runs into their father\u2019s cozy study , within a dwelling that looks like a manor mutated into a castle . there , to the horror of her sister and wheelchair - bound father , she proceeds to stare at a creepy painting of a black queen stabbing a red queen and then stabs the doll repeatedly while screaming \u201ci hate you ! \u201d\nhenry williamson\u2019s \u201cthe old stag\u201d has been hailed as the best collection of animal stories since sir john fortescue\u2019s \u201cthe story of a red deer\u201d .\ntruly gorgeous cinematography by alberto spagnoli ( 1st ac on red desert ) . and the film scan is a + .\nit almost seems fitting that the most enduring image from this jaunt is the red queen herself , an elusive phantasm treading the line between fever dreams and reality , her iconic crimson cape and a blood - curdling giggle trailing in her elusive wake . she\u2019s there\u2014and then she\u2019s not\ntropes like gushing red blood , which has a suitably garish hue here . that said , there are parts of\nthe plot being not so interesting after all , i focused on the production design . the scenes take alternatively place in a gothic german castle and in a few apartments . love ugo pagliai ' s bad taste for his flat ' s decoration . he almost deserves to be stabbed by the red queen . recommended though .\nthe scene so neatly summarizes the whole of the human condition that miraglia might as well have stopped the film there , but he goes on . the patriarch gathers the two girls onto his paralyzed lap and relates to them the terrible story behind the painting : every 100 years a pair of sisters who are intense rivals undergo a terrible curse . the \u201cblack\u201d sister kills the \u201cred\u201d one , only to have the young woman reborn as a vengeful spirit that butchers seven victims , ending with the \u201cblack\u201d sister . no worries though ; the next iteration of the cycle is more than ten years away . the audience is left to wonder if this seemingly inconsequential backstory may , in fact , be foreshadowing some later event . hmm\u2026\nat this point , there are probably several questions scratching at the viewer\u2019s mind such as will evelyn really arise from the grave as the killer red queen ? , who was the red caped knife wielding diva that scared the bejesus out of poor tobias wildenbr\u0171k ? , and why is barbara bouchet so damn foxy ? well sit back and pour you another glass of wine because we are only 13 minutes into the movie and there\u2019s a lot more to come before any of those questions are answered .\nit ' s nearly a typical giallo with red herrings abound in its mystery , an overly complicated plot , and being polished in technique but not in its depth . the red queen legend is a good creepy starting point to navigate its murders and the plot is often very convoluted with some loose ends coming up in its end twist . yet , like any fair giallo , it ' s flamboyant enough that you should just take all the style in .\nanother main character that is introduced later in the story is martin hoffmann ( ugo pagliai ) , the new general manager of springe , who took over after the former manager hans meyer ( bruno bertocci ) was murdered by the red queen , while out shopping for a prostitute in the interest of having a threesome with his mistress lulu ( sybil danning ) .\nwizzle takes himself off to st paul\u2019s cathedral , where a plentiful supply of pigeons keeps him well fed . then he moves on to hyde park and kills a green woodpecker , and where he is watched by a\none of sybil danning ' s early films . almost unrecognizable with red hair . and quite nude . great interview on the arrow video blu - ray .\nto make things juicier , martin\u2019s wife elisabeth explains to him during a conjugal visit that evelyn visits her at night and that they run free in the forest that surrounds the institution , and that evelyn promises to eventually take her away forever . watching elisabeth explain this to martin in a delirious state of mind is very entertaining and causes one to ponder if her account of evelyn is true or not , given her current mental state . well , later that night the red queen does come for elisabeth and helps her to escape the asylum forever . as elisabeth is climbing the gate to freedom , the red queen cuts the ladder resulting in much blood flow as elisabeth\u2019s head is impaled by the deadly sharp ornaments that line the top of the gate . a stand out gory moment in the film\u2026\nso , now we have all the conventions of a great gothic horror tale , but the atmosphere of the film seems to switch at this point as we transition into what feels like a different movie . the vibe completely changes to more of a giallo film ( which is way cool with me ) , as we follow kitty at work snapping photos of supermodels at the springe fashion organization . it is here that several new characters are introduced to the story , who basically serve as murder victims for the ghoulish red queen , or are suspects in a possible red queen hoax . also , the prospect of a murder mystery involving characters in a fashion designer clique reminded me a lot of mario bava\u2019s blood and black lace ( which is a good thing , i might add ) .\nand who is currently at dragonstone ? jon\u2019s aunt , also known as the other powerful queen in this story , who has moved into her ancestral home and has a nice map of her own .\na curse haunts the wildenbr\u00fcck family once every 100 years \u2014 two sisters have always become the red and black queen , feuding until one of them dies . then , the survivor is haunted by sixth deaths , with the final death \u2014 the seventh death , referenced in the title , being the surviving sister . kitty ( bouchet ) and evelyn are the next two sisters to be so cursed , battling even in childhood , stabbing each other\u2019s dolls with daggers .\ni also can\u2019t help thinking that i might be being a bit too thorough with the film ' s plot , because what really outshines here is the murders by the red queen , the great music from bruno nicolai , the attractive female cast , the vintage 70\u2019s designer fashions , and the exotic european settings . the film combines the giallo film style and gothic horror tale with panache , and if you enjoy those two things , then trqk7t is likely to be a treat .\ncavan sets his goshawks free to attack the wild red kite . the \u2018tame\u2019 tethered red kite becomes very agitated , so he cuts her leather thongs to let her go free and she flies up and joins the wild bird . the goshawks , outwitted by the kites , eventually give up and return home : the kites fly off and \u2018live happily ever after\u2019 \u2013 later that year producing four young .\n\u2013 soon to be unleashed upon the world . ) we are told the life story of the stag to date , the technical terms dropped into the prose like plums in the pudding : the stumberleap stag lives his life naturally , as do all the red deer of exmoor .\na lovely giallo gothic hybrid with the ever beautiful barbara bouchet . this movie was a pleasure to look at through and through . style around every corner . the twisty plot keeps things moving along at a nice pace , and the kills are gratifying despite a ki count being somewhat on the low side .\nas i cosied up in the coach , frostbitten villages , blotted with the onion domes of gothic churches , hazed by in the valleys . even the red lights of the ubiquitous austrian brothel couldn ' t detract from this winter wonderland .\nuniversal pictures and breaking bad screenwriter gennifer hutchison team up to adapt author victoria aveyard ' s science fiction novel set in a society where citizens are segregated due to the color of their blood , and centering on a 17 -

ness\nthrough a foregrounding of identifiable tourist spots that often halt the narrative and serve as sheer spectacle . other times it strives to erase italian - ness by establishing the setting as an ( other ) anonymous european city , avoiding distinctive signifiers of italy altogether . and still other times it constructs a\nrural - historical\nlocale as a place of the uncanny , as in la casa dale finestre che ridono ( the house with the windows that laugh , pupi avati , 1976 ) .\nthe film starts out incredibly in a beautiful gothic castle in germany . as little girls , kitty wildenbr\u00fcck and her sister evelyn have been fighting when their grandfather tells them the story behind an incredibly uncanny painting : legend has it that a fiendish red lady is to return to the castle every hundred years and kill seven people . fourteen years later , kitty ( barbara bouchet ) has become a successful fashion photographer . suddenly , people begin to get murdered . . .\nthis illustrated edition was reprinted several times during the 1940s , including an edition by penguin in 1942 , complete with full illustrations \u2013 quite an achievement during those very austere war years , when paper and permission to print were hard to come by . it has a most poignant printed message on the title page :\nthe fashion is an inextricable element of \u201cred queen\u2019s\u201d appeal , indulging in extremes of kitsch rivaled by only a few other giallo . much of the credit must go to costume designer lorenzo baraldi ( his credits include \u201cportrait of a nude woman\u201d ( 1981 ) which i would think would not have needed his services ) who was clearly at least as interested in radical color combinations and dizzying op art as he was in showing off the assets of cast .\narya originally planned to go to winterfell , but apparently changed her mind once she heard her kill -

known , gialli such as dario argento\u2019s profondo rosso ( deep red , 1975 ) . similarly , with its supernatural undertones and red - cloaked , cackling murderess , the film channels the uncanny aspects of the fairy tale to present an outlandish thriller worthy of any gialli or italian horror fan\u2019s time .\n. where that film constantly pivots between different modes and styles , this one is largely committed to a stalk - and - slash routine that keeps the blood flowing . the title demands at least seven murders , after all ( it actually delivers this and more , not that i\u2019m complaining about the misnomer ) . in sequences seemingly inspired by contemporaries like bava and argento , miraglia artfully stages many of the incredibly bloody murders , with the crimson spatter acting like grace notes . one sequence involving a wrought - iron gate is among the most creatively gruesome kills the genre has to offer , and miraglia consistently treats each murder as a show - stealing moment , putting him at ( or at least near ) the forefront of the splatter movie tradition .\nt\u2019chakamma breaks free , with the youngster held protected , and tries to climb up to the cave of bats , but the dogs give chase and attack . the vulture waits on above . t\u2019chakamma makes a stand on a cliff ledge and kills most of the hunting dogs . on a ledge t\u2019chakamma and swart piet tussle together : both are wounded . swart piet lies exhausted and nearly dead . the vulture lands nearby .\nsuch seemingly peculiar behaviour by red kites is well known . shakespeare certainly knew of the trait \u2013 as he noted in a winter\u2019s tale : \u2018when the kite builds , look to lesser linen\u2019 ( act iv , scene 3 ) .\nit ' s got everything i want from a giallo : red herrings , great score , beautiful euro ladies , bloody kills , convoluted plot , nudity . . . . but it adds in a gothic supernatural flavour as well . the killer is delightfully over -

( \u2018fur , feather , and fin\u2019 was a series of books on sporting subjects \u2013 today collectors\u2019 items . ) ]\nthe evidence that sitting kills goes back to the 1950s when a study was done comparing bus conductors ( who stand ) with bus drivers ( who sit ) . it turned out that the bus drivers had twice the risk of developing heart disease . since then we have become a lot more sedentary . we sit at work , in the car and at home \u2014 moving only to shift from one seat to another . many of us spend more than half our waking lives sitting on our bottoms looking at computers or watching television .\nyes , and they should definitely include the coffin she comes out of , too . such a pity that no shame went out of business ; i loved their material dvd supplements . the monster amulet that came with dark waters has been on my wall for six years . unfortunately , my cat chewed off the rubber knife on my killer queen model since that picture was taken . : p\nnote : the vertical axis represents the bits transferred per second . the horizontal is the time in minutes .\nin the case of lung cancer it is all about giving up smoking . smoking kills half the people who do it . if you are a 40 - year - old smoker and give up then you will add 10 years to your life expectancy . plus you won\u2019t spend the last decade of your life coughing your guts out . the best way to give up is with nicotine patches or e - cigarettes ( vaping ) . despite all the negative publicity around e - cigs , they are much , much safer than inhaling burnt tobacco .\nthe book designer / typesetter at putnam was t . m . ragg , and it is obvious that he took a great pride in his work . there are a number of letters from him in the archive ( mainly to do with his work on tarka the otter ) which show how careful he was . most extraordinary is that for this book ( the old stag ) the first produced by putnam , ragg sent for hw\u2019s approval a dummy \u2013 a completely made - up but totally blank book , bound in brown - red cloth , titling fully gold - stamped . an ms note by ragg written inside ( in brown - red ink \u2013 exactly matching the cover ! ) states :\n\u2022 bran finally returned to winterfell and was reunited with sansa , which would have felt like a bigger deal if bran hadn\u2019t become such a drip since last season . how have you been ? sansa asked . i am the three - eyed raven , her little brother responded . i see everything at all times . i saw you in your wedding dress as the snow fell on one of the worst days of your life . um yeah , sansa said . i\u2019ve got stuff to do . \u2026\nit suggests that , as i\u2019ve said before , cersei\u2019s venom probably won\u2019t succeed as a long - term strategy . \u201cgame of thrones\u201d seems to be about the evolution from a bloody , top - down monarchy - by - force to a more democratic way forward as humanity bands together to confront the white walker threat , standing in for catastrophic climate change or some other global crisis to be named later . the classic race to rule the seven kingdoms will eventually amount to a contest , to paraphrase davos , to be the skeleton that sits on the iron throne .\nit has everything you expect in a giallo , with it ' s ups and downs , the plot has no problem sacrificing some logic here and there in order to create dramatic tense sequences . i ' m ok with that , a good giallo seduces your senses , it doesn ' t hammer them like any mindless slasher flick does . it has a fantastic score from bruno nicolai , a gothic atmosphere , dream sequences . good fun giallo times .\nafter years of billowing story and cast , it was striking to note how the action hinged mostly on people we have been with from the beginning : cersei and jaime lannister ; jon snow ; sansa , arya and bran stark ; daenerys targaryen and tyrion . even the hound \u2014 now riding with the unkillable beric dondarrion and thoros , the myrish red priest with brooklyn bartender styling \u2014 has been around , off and on , since the pilot .\nthere was in 1923 a real - life captain p . c . cavan who was a member of the cheriton otter hunt and later on its committee . he lived nearby \u2013 though slightly more than seven miles distance ! one hopes that he was not offended by hw\u2019s use of his name in this story . i have not verified whether the real - life cavan was a first world war rfc ace , but one would presume there was a basis for such a tale .\nwhile many giallo viewers await the ubiquitous susan scott ' s next undressing scene , many many others are waiting to see her next fabulous outfit . such is the giallo that it panders to both readings : erotic anticipation and camp sensibility . the giallo is a document of 60s and 70s style that years later can be seen as utterly camp . even the most tired of gialli is capable of being resurrected as a\nmasterpiece ,\nthanks to alexander doty ' s example of making things queer [ 3 ] and wardrobe departments whose creativity and expression at times exceeds that of the director .\n[ following a previous review of a \u2018nature\u2019 book ] . . . mr henry williamson takes us for long walks and rides in the country , never pointing out things but letting us quietly into the confidence of foxes , herons , badgers , falcons , and red - deer . [ a quote follows ] that is mr . williamson\u2019s method , and with all due deference to the naturalists , i think it is the best way .\nso how can you reduce your risk ? well , there is some evidence that eating a diet rich in lycopenes ( found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables ) and selenium ( found in brazil nuts , fish , and seafood ) may help . these foods also form a key part of the mediterranean diet ( see below ) .\nextras include : an excellent audio commentary by writers / genre specialists alan jones and kim newman , a short film analysis by jake west entitled \u201cthe red reign\u201d in which critic stephen thrower dissects and discusses trqkst , relaying production morsels , visual parallels , how trqkst was released with novelty blood - red popcorn in the us and an insight into composer bruno nicolai : a former tutor to ennio morricone . \u201clife of lulu\u201d is a recently filmed interview with actress sybil danning , who looks remarkably younger now than she did in trqkst , forty four years ago ! probably all that clean living . danning discusses her early industry days , how she got into acting through modelling in austria and her memories of filming trqkst .\nthe narrator meets him in a meadow where cavan is exercising his tame norwegian goshawks and a red kite , called glead ( an ancient word meaning \u2018glider\u2019 ) . he had had a pair , hoping to breed from them , but one had died . cavan relates that his wife had been upset that day to find some washing ( her delicate underwear ) had mysteriously disappeared from the linen line where drying . as the two men talk they notice something pink flying about in the sky . then , with great excitement and amazement , cavan realises that they are his wife\u2019s pale pink pyjamas and that they have been \u2018stolen\u2019 by a wild red kite \u2013 a bird that the narrator / hw had known about for over a year .

haley joel osment stare at each other in a shitty , dingy apartment like they were told to pretend they were in a death cab video and not a motherfucking superhero movie .\nhis strategy was a ballsy sleight of hand , setting the film in a 1995 that looked exactly like 1991 , which is to say , the most accurate rendering of the future in cinematic history . but he didn ' t go far enough . he arbitrarily stopped in 1995 , giving us a 10 year old john connor who , upon repeated viewing , is so obnoxious that you spend most of the movie wanting to see him shot in the face , fate of humanity be damned .\nif shyamalan had realized what he had and said ,\nfuck it , i ' m moving the reveal to the middle ,\nhe not only keeps himself from falling into the\ntwist ending at all costs\ntrap that hobbled his career harder than annie wilkes , but he gives himself an hour to go apeshit in the superhero playground . he gets to beat christopher nolan to the dark knight by almost a full decade . we don ' t have to wait until his career is in the shitter , adapting nickelodeon cartoons , to see him get his action movie rocks off .\nwe are updating our terms of service , privacy policy , and cookie and internet advertising policy effective may 25 , 2018 ! you can preview the new version and see details about the updates here .\nimdb explains the casting of kubrick ' s least regarded film thusly :\naccording to writer frederic raphael , the final form of bill ' s family name ( harford , as opposed to scheuer in the original story ) was inspired by a debate about bill ' s character . raphael felt bill should be jewish as in the original , but stanley kubrick insisted bill and alice be\nvanilla\namericans , without any details that would arouse any presumptions . kubrick said that bill should be a bit like harrison ford - hence the name harford .\neven if your clothes are made of the same material as your body , they still make you travel naked .\nok , so shyamalan has had an infuriating career . but the premise of his second film was pretty damned fantastic : bruce willis is superman , but he doesn ' t know it . samuel l . jackson does know it , and in this flick , the l stands for\nluthor .\nthe one and only thing keeping this from being a classic was that m . night shyamalan was being called a next - generation spielberg , poised to stomp all over hollywood . unfortunately , this put his head six - miles up his own ass regarding his storytelling skills : he ' d stumbled onto the gritty superhero movie ten years before chrstopher nolan , but he was too blinded by the hype surrounding the sixth sense ' s twist ending to do anything with it . unbreakable spends most of it ' s time and energy hiding willis ' s super powers from him , back loading all the bad ass potential of the idea into a twist ending .\nkubrick made the unfortunate decision to stunt - cast tom cruise and his wife nicole kidman , well before anyone realized what a horrific idea that was . of course , the couple weren ' t so much\nvanilla\nas they were way more uncomfortable around one another than any married couple should be . according to the actor r lee ermey , kubrick regarded the film as a\npiece of shit\nand claimed that cruise and kidman\nhad their way with me .\nwe can ' t say who cameron would have cast had he set t2 four more years into the future , but some pretty intriguing actors were the right age in 1991 . christian bale was 16 at the time , clearing him to play a post -

western that cowboys & aliens echoes in its very first scenes , and tonight i watched the first 30 or 40 minutes with my kids . we ' ve all seen silverado many times . this film occupies a special place in my cinematic life , in that it is literally the first western i ever saw , back in 1985 . later in the same year i saw my second western , pale rider starring clint eastwood , but it left me cold by comparison . i loved silverado from the start , and my love for this film has grown over the years , so that now i am just beside myself with joy at practically every scene .\nthe term cropped up last year , almost immediately after columbia pictures announced that kasdan -

upon director in history . it made a literal fortune , in comparison with it\u2019s total budget . and it won numerous academy awards , including best director , and a golden globe for best motion picture \u2014 drama . in 2007 the film was placed in the national film registry . dances with wolves quickly became yet another film credited with revitalizing the western genre , and thus , is termed a revisionist western .\nthat said , the critical response to the film was underwhelming , to say the best , and even i , who love the series of books that it was based on , came away from the film . . . well , underwhelmed .\nsilverado recognizes the value of the human spirit and demonstrates that memory impairment does not mean the end of a purposeful , rich life . by reducing medications and focusing on a more holistic approach to care , residents can thrive , while maintaining their sense of self and dignity . life can change , but life doesn\u2019t stop when you move into silverado .\nthe inserts of both albums include information about the score and film , though the 2005 set features a more extensive analysis .\nthe film was nominated and won a handful of academy awards , it also won a handful of british awards , and the writer\u2019s guild of america awarded william goldman their best original screenplay of the year award . in 2003 the film was placed into the national film registry , and it sits at # 7 on the afi\u2019s list of the top 10 best westerns ever made .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nwhen kasdan and his brother mark turned in\nsilverado\nscript , with a projected budget of $ 25 million , to columbia pictures , the studio ' s reaction was predictable .\nles quatre meilleurs acteurs de ce film sont excellents . je l ' ai regard\u00e9 hier soir et je le regarderais encore souvent .\ni am surprised that you aren ' t more appreciative of kasdan ' s artful compositions and the film ' s sharp editing .\n3 . identify one instance of each of the following types of transitions from one shot to another that were used by the editors of this film and , for each , describe how the transition affected the presentation of the film : cut , fade , dissolve .\nthe film has over time become a mainstay with western fans , due to it\u2019s action sequences , it\u2019s use of robert mitchum\u2019s voice at the open and the close of the film , and several iconic moments in the film surrounding actor val kilmer\u2019s portrayal of john henry \u201cdoc\u201d holliday . additionally , the film is very clearly inspired by a number of films that came before it . along with the work of sergio leone , others include : gunfight at the ok corral , hour of the gun , and even the magnificent seven .\nthe film was nominated for academy awards in best original score and best sound effects editing . by the way , the film features a very interesting cameo by monty python comedian john cleese , that many still believe is one of the best performances of his career .\nwestern starring kevin kline and danny glover . in the 1880s , various pioneers try to establish a future in the american west as four strangers shoot it out in the crooked town of silverado .\namong mainstream critics in the u . s . , the film received mostly positive reviews . rotten tomatoes gives the film a score of 76 % based on reviews from 29 critics , with an average score of 6 . 8 out of 10 . at metacritic , which assigns a weighted average out of 100 to critics ' reviews , the film received a score of 64 % based on 14 reviews .\nthe film , however , left me wanting much , much more . it was good , but not great ; fun , but not enthralling\u2013and i believe that a better film , made with a a more imaginative vision , would have brought in more box office bucks .\nquestions 1 -

- that ' s the inherent question ' silverado ' will test . it ' s obviously what has scared hollywood all these years .\nthere was an erroneous belief that wayne actually had cancer when he made this film . he was known to have been ill before the film went into production , and many just made the leap of assumption that it was cancer . it was not . wayne had had cancer a decade before and had beat it . three years after this film came out , his cancer returned and he died soon after diagnosis . his death in 1979 ended a career that began in 1926 , in silent film . he was one of the few actors in the silent era to have the chance to meet the legendary wyatt earp . spielberg had begged him to play one last role as general stillwell , in his film 1941 . but wayne turned him down .\ni ' m not really all that enamored with silverado ' s cinematography . i refrained on commenting on it because it was apparently very important to you , and i didn ' t want to seem like too much of a wet blanket , or someone who delights in tearing apart other people ' s treasures . but perhaps i need to see the film again .\nimc film & tv tracking services was set up in early 2014 after working in the film and tv industry for over 12 years for a major tracking vehicle and stunt company . working with different production companies , grips & camera crew . i have drawn on this experience to build a vehicle for every eventuality that is needed within the film & tv industry . imc has invested by moving location to wales due to the rising demand of the company .\n5 . how did the editing of the film advance the story that the filmmakers were trying to tell ? explain how the editors achieved this effect .\nvisually unappealing\nwould be too harsh . it ' s not an ugly film . but it is , as far as i ' m concerned , seated in that middle -

' silverado ' depicts a chance encounter between a group of cowboys who travel to the town of silverado , where they thwart the plans of a rancher and a corrupt sheriff . though the entire concept of the good challenging the evil , has been told on celluloid a dozen of times , ' silverado ' , however , manages to convince it ' s viewer , thanks to it ' s interesting screenplay . lawrence & mark kasdan ' s screenplay is nice , and plays it safe . the action sequences are very well shot , while the cinematography is good . editing & art design deserve a mention . performance - wise : kevin kline is good . scott glenn is efficient . kevin costner & danny glover are in form . jeff goldblum , linda hunt , rosanna arquette & john cleese lend very good support . brian dennehy is excellent as the corrupt sheriff . on the whole , ' silverado ' succeeds by entertaining it ' s viewer .\nso many writers have cited this film as a truly great example of perfect character examination in film , i wouldn\u2019t know where to start . the film\u2019s story is told in real time , hence the use of the clock . and its story centers on a town marshall fated to face a group of killers he previously defended the town against , who got off on a legal technicality and are now gunning for revenge . the catch ? due to the cowardliness of local residents , he\u2019s on his own .\nthe making of ` ` silverado , ` ` however , would turn out to be only one of kasdan ` s chores . the selling of the film would come next , and kasdan , a former detroit advertising copywriter , would immerse himself in that as well . the obviously ticklish situation : how do you sell a western when you ` re not sure that branding it a western is an automatic turnoff ?\nfour cowboys meet and get each other out of trouble , on their way to the the town of silverado . there , they must each confront their past and face foes who are interconnected , leading to an inevitable\nreglement de comptes\n.\nsilverado strikes me as a kind of run - of - the - mill contemporary western , a sea of cliches and so - so moments along the lines of tombstone ( though it ' s better than tombstone , which is pretty risible ) .\non the contrary , i think silverado failed to connect at the box office precisely because it celebrated a genre that no longer clicked in the cultural zeitgeist of star wars , superman and jaws , whereas raiders fit this new world like a glove .\nthe film was an international hit . cleese shared an oscar nomination for his original screenplay , while co - star kevin kline won the academy award for best supporting actor .\neleni mitsiaki will lead a session entitled \u201cfilm music concerts : the emperor\u2019s new clothes ?

we ask : is this a treat or a threat ? how far do concerts change the object of desire ?\nmy review of silverado is an old one and not as good as i ' d like . i ' ll stop commentary here , more or less where we left off watching tonight , and pick up after we ' ve finished our latest viewing .\n14 . describe the use of color in the film . did it advance the emotions the filmmakers were trying to evoke ? how would you have used color in the movie ?\nleone called bronson : \u201cthe greatest actor i ever worked with . \u201d the film also features yet another in a long list of highly popular scores by legendary composer ennio morricone .\nthe film naturally flopped and critics universally panned the hell out of it , calling it \u201cincoherent . \u201d when roger ebert reviewed the film , he gave it two stars , and noted that the studio would have been better off releasing peckinpah\u2019s version . the picture was completely disowned by the cast and crew once they saw the studio\u2019s version of it . and while peckinpah had in his possession his own director\u2019s cut , which he often screened for friends in his own defense , pat garret and billy the kid was a massive blow to his career . he practically made this film coming off the getaway , a massively successful film for peckinpah . and now \u2026 now he was considered a land mine by hollywood .\nsome western aficionados may find ` ` silverado ` ` longer on action and clever dialogue than on the great themes of such classic westerns as ` ` red river , ` ` ` ` my darling clementine ` ` or ` ` high noon . ` `\nsilverado arrives as a typical western , with your standard good guys , villains , intruding and ill - prepared settlers , all of their women , a town in corruptive turmoil , personal vendettas , a ranch , and the obligatory stampede . spice it up with the centralized saloon - gambling hall with a guy named\nslick\n, gunslingers , ladies of the evening , and a vertically challenged version of gunsmoke ' s miss kitty . then you epically conclude it all with showdown gunfights , including one in front of a church no less . yes , silverado covers all the bases and zealously steals every western clich\u00e9 ' ever conceived . however , with its abundance of clich\u00e9 ' silverado misses the opportunity to be daringly different . in comparison to eastwood ' s ' unforgiven ' , silverado ' s message of good eventually triumphs over evil ( only if evil gets careless ) is sadly mundane and it begs the question , why did they even bother to make this film ? the answer lies somewhere in the conceptual thinking of the producers , writers , and director , who tragically missed an opportunity to take a talented ensemble and make a poignant and meaningful film that actually had the potential to send a distinctive message . ironically , the last line in the movie ,\nwe ' ll be back !\nis telling and i sincerely hope it never comes to fruition . so far , so good !\nthe magnificent seven also inspired ( along with the seven samurai before it ) a low - budget roger corman produced sci - fi film , called battle beyond the stars . the film\u2019s structure and plot are essentially identical to the two films that came before , and actor robert vaughn more or less repeats his character here , in a more sci - fi incarnation .\nthe director also made the unusual decision during pre - production of casting 4 separate sets of brothers , to play the actual brothers portrayed in the film . the keach brothers , the carradine brothers , the quade brothers , and the guest brothers . and the gimmick was used quite effectively in the film\u2019s marketing . view the trailer below to see what i mean .\nyes , the same limitation of the\nwestern raiders\nanalogy occurred to me awhile back . obviously the western was not in need of a sweeping pastiche to redeem and elevate it in the way that the saturday matinee serial cliffhanger was . yet i can ' t see that this obvious disparity of source material has anything to do with why silverado failed to connect at the box office the way that raiders did . it ' s a limited analogy , but that doesn ' t go to any fundamental miscalculation in the film itself , nor does it have anything to do with the film ' s disappointing box - office success .\nalthough the film cost $ 25 million and made only $ 56 . 5 million , it was deemed a success by disney executives . actor robert mitchum , who narrates the film , was originally brought in to play old man clanton . but he was in a horse riding accident . instead of recasting , the role was cut from the film . actor glenn ford was originally cast to play marshall white , but dropped out of the project . critical reaction was mixed , though true west magazine called it one of the 5 greatest westerns ever made .\nthe original soundtrack album featured most of the score ' s highlights and was a very strong album , but to tie in with the film ' s twentieth anniversary , intrada released this expanded version , featuring the entire score , a couple of source pieces and one alternate track . it also features much - improved sound , liner notes from broughton and intrada ' s douglass fake , and nice packaging . it really is one of those classic scores which belongs in any film music collection - honestly , film music just doesn ' t get much better .\nother westerns have achieved incomparably more thematically , aesthetically , emotionally , culturally . silverado is notable simply because , like raiders , it covers so much ground , with so much aplomb and energy . if it ' s nothing like the best western ever , it might be something closer to the most western ever . maybe that makes silverado a celebration of b - movie westerns rather than the best films of ford and hawks . if so , so be it ; it ' s an a - movie take on the b - movie western .\n' ' silverado ' ' is a sweeping , glorious - looking western that ' s at least a full generation removed from the classic films it brings to mind . lawrence kasdan , who produced , directed and co - wrote the film - and presumably came up with its wonderful title - doesn ' t seem to be commenting ironically on the western form . nor is he determined to update it . he simply approaches it from a present - day standpoint , and the result is an energetic revival with some significant differences in scale . ' ' silverado ' ' is sufficiently modern to make its landscapes bigger , its people smaller and its moral polarities less powerfully distinct than those of simpler , more starkly beautiful westerns gone by .\nbut there isn\u2019t anything special about the film\u2019s camera shots and setups ; and in an action - adventure movie , the camera work has to enhance the vitality of the action occurring onscreen .\n9 . the conflict in this film is resolved when one of the characters unexpectedly gets very lucky . did this sudden event ring true or did it make the story seem less credible ?\n[ another way to ask this question is to show the class a short scene and ask the students to identify the short and long takes and discuss their use in the film . ]\nsilverado is damn good fun . being a small fan of the western genre , i felt this was the most refreshing one i ' ve seen in a while . the genre had pretty much died , but came back in silverado , and it felt so fresh . the plot is simple and cliche , i think it ' s paying homage to the classics . it sticks within the western boundary and does its thing . the cast is pretty good , and well known , but in 1985 , these actors were just hollywood virgins . i was surprised by john cleese , he stuck out like a sore thumb , but i enjoyed his performance . you have costner hamming it up , and jeff goldblum was cool . scott glenn was probably the best . hell , glover was pretty good , too . the direction is wonderful as is the editing , the film moves along at a decent pace . i wish lawrence was a more prominent director , he deserves more success . the film score is very nice , fits the film perfectly . overall , one of the best westerns in the last 25 years ."]}

aviation cocktail is as blue as the sky . created before prohibition , this staple was lost to the united states after the noble experiment . luckily , the return of lots of classic liqueurs and quality spirits put this cocktail back on the market .\nthe aviation cocktail uses a touch of one of the lesser known and harder to find liqueurs in the world : creme de violette . it\u2019s just what

colorado\u2019s finest , the aviation cocktail is a \u201cdramatic thriller\u201d nonetheless most reminiscent of the south ; its story official description notes that \u201cadultery leads to jealousy which leads back to murder\u201d , but its sense of morality crushes some of the thrills it could have given .\nlike the world ' s finest gins , aviation is distilled using a proprietary maceration process that produces a pure medley of botanical flavor .\nthe aviation cocktail is chelsea flower show in a glass , combining gin , maraschino liqueur , lemon juice and cr\u00e8me de violette . and until a few years ago , it was impossible to make properly , because cr\u00e8me de violette had disappeared from the shelves .\nvalentine , ne was chosen as the primary location for ' the aviation cocktail ' , not only because it was the ideal setting for the story , but also because the film friendly community supported the production through the economic development board . consequently , nebraska senator colby coash pushed film incentive bill lb863 into law and alexander payne took advantage of the new state tax credits , shooting his film ' nebraska ' around norfolk , ne .\nthus , the arrival of cr\u00e8me de violette has made the aviation the centerpiece of a robust , larger conversation about whether cocktail recipes , especially the first publication recipes , should be considered law , or merely guidelines ; and to what extent it\u2019s reasonable to change proportions , to add , subtract , or substitute ingredients , or even change the size of the pour , before the drink takes on such a different character that it becomes a different product altogether . can a cocktail properly evolve beyond its original definition ? or , as it loses its fidelity to the \u201coriginal , \u201d must it be considered an entirely different cocktail , signified at the very least by a different name ?\nthe nick and nora cocktail glass is smaller than most , and as the waldorf bar book notes ,\nthe cocktail , taken according to general practice , is not sipped as is wine . if it is not gulped , it is usually finished in three swallows , or at most four .\na warm baked apple aroma and flavor treat the palate when taking a sip of the treacle . with wonderful notes of cinnamon the treacle is the perfect cocktail to show off a delicious spiced rum like sailor jerry spiced rum .\nthe aviation is one of those unheard of treasures . it\u2019s a cocktail you\u2019ve probably never heard of , but need to get to know right now . up until a year ago , i had never heard of the aviation . i started to see it in tv shows , online , in restaurants , everywhere . it\u2019s one of those things you don\u2019t notice until you actually notice it\u2014and then you see it all over the place .\nwe really do not know who first created the aviation cocktail . according to david wondrich ' s\nimbibe !\n, it was first printed in a 1916 book by hugo ensslin called\nrecipes for mixed drinks\n. it has always been difficult to gauge how popular the cocktail was at the time and because the two key liqueurs were likely just as rare as they are today , it is assumed that this was a specialty drink served at only the most elite of bars .\nno c . d . v is no aviation i don\u2019t like the raste of maraschino very much but in the aviation it has a perfect

old tom is aged for one year in used whiskey barrels made from american white oak . the aging process brings out the democratic blend of botanicals so this old tom mixes like a gin and drinks neat like a whiskey .\nhi , don\u2014i agree that the cr\u00e8me de violette seems to be a natural for the aviation . on the other hand , absent cr\u00e8me de v . , respected bartenders made the drink without for decades . we work with what we have , i guess . it\u2019s fascinating to me how drinks get redefined over time , based on available ingredients , and the aviation is a good example of that .\ni ' ve tried every gin on the planet and aviation is , hands down , the best . also , i don ' t recommend trying every gin on the planet . stick with this one .\nnew year ' s eve is the last day of

\u201cthe aviation cocktail\u201d features excellent production values , spectacular photography and a poignant music score ( it\u2019s also great to see so many great old american cars all in one movie ) . higgins direction is surprisingly solid , especially for a first timer . he knows where he wants to take his characters and what he wants the film to say . though there are some logical problems with the film\u2019s major plot twist , \u201cthe aviation cocktail\u201d is a potent and brooding indie film that features richly developed characters and some excellent performances ( kiger , eaton and lockhart stand out ) . this is a quality film that needs to be embraced by the indie community .\nthe aviation has been around at least since 1911 , according to david wondrich\u2019s imbibe ! it has been flying well under the radar ever since . or at least ever since there was radar .\nshake the gin , maraschino liqueur , and lemon juice well with ice ; then strain into a cocktail glass . garnish with a maraschino cherry , if desired .\nbut when the film opens with a magnificent aeronautical sequence that exudes tension , yet also calmness , you forget about wanting to delve into plot . the imagery , along with the tone of the opening track , evokes the sombre and awe - inspiring feeling that still warms the stomachs of anyone who has seen the wind rises . all the aviation cocktail needs is to set the film\u2019s entire plot inside that small , private aircraft and director david r . higgins would have a hit on his hands . alas , the plane touches down and pilot , jack fisher ( michael haskins ) exits in search of the plot .\nit\u2019s hard to tell what to expect going into the aviation cocktail . the film\u2019s trailer touts a tantalising 1950\u2019s small - town familial set - up ( \u201cone part passion , two parts betrayal and a splash of blood\u201d ) , laying out a dramatic tale of broken friendships and icy love lives ; but it\u2019s not exactly telling exactly what the film\u2019s plot is .\ni love your take on the use of the cdv , and the conventions of naming . i would note that your recipe called for london dry gin but listed plymouth ( the only remaining producer of the \u201cplymouth\u201d style of gin , sweeter and decidedly more floral than a classic london dry ) , so the flavor and sweetness of the cocktail would be

that as great as the aviation was , he had had a \u2018blue moon\u2019 ( an aviation plus cr\u00e8me de violette ) which was better . we all waited until 2008 when rothman and winter re - introduced cr\u00e8me de violette to the us , and by then there were lots of reprints of cocktail books and we all had ensslin\u2019s recipe in our hands . here is gary regan\u2019s take on that moment \u2013

.\nregulars come in to your bar for various reasons : their friends and colleagues go there . they enjoy the ambience . maybe they really like you and the other bartenders behind the bar . more than likely , they have a cocktail they really enjoy every time they sit at the bar . serving that cocktail and the others on the menu consistently is key to keeping your best patrons coming back again and again and is really quite simple . proper measuring using a jigger is paramount to creating consistency behind the bar .\nthe cast and crew endured freezing temperatures during the 17 day shoot , particularly during the graveyard showdown scene between beau kiger and connor boyle near the end of the film .\ntoday you will find the aviation on lists of classic cocktails that should be experienced , though it still should not be expected that it can be ordered at any bar . despite being available again , creme de violette is not part of the average bar ' s inventory , though there are some that are trying to revive the aviation and will create a fantastic version for you to taste .\nevery bottle of aviation gin is handcrafted in small 100 - case batches by a small , dedicated team of master distillers in portland , oregon .\nthe \u201cyellow\u201d aviation ( 1 . 5 gin , . 75 lemon , . 5 maraschino ) was a smash hit \u2013 in my life making instant believers out of cocktail skeptics . luxardo maraschino is great stuff , but easily overpowering and must be strictly measured or you will wind up with what harrington termed \u2018a glass of pixie stix\u2019\ngive the aviation a shot and see if you sink or soar . it\u2019s one of those cocktails , patty and i can both agree on . i\u2019m whiskey , she\u2019s fruity , this one is right down the middle .\nyour comment about the \u201cyellow\u201d aviation being a good sour is an excellent reminder that we should evaluate cocktails on their intrinsic qualities , as you did with this one . anyone who has spent time with old bar manuals knows that just because a drink is a century old doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s worth drinking ; and as you point out , just because a cocktail isn\u2019t the same as the \u201coriginal\u201d doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t good . thanks for the reminder .\nsome of the citrusy gins make a fun variant in this cocktail , especially if you want to try upping the lemon nose and flavor without pushing up the sourness . i\u2019ve used new amsterdam and bombay sapphire with good results , but there are many to play with .\none more paragraph , on behalf of the insane amount of people thanked in the credits ( that usually means volunteers and donators ) . if you\u2019re sensitive to details you may notice that one of the film\u2019s hangar shots might be a reference to the big combo , but you\u2019ll also know this isn\u2019t its equal . still , if you\u2019re having a lazy evening or something , it\u2019s enjoyable enough ; in that case i\u2019d recommend a film noir double feature : the aviation cocktail , and something a little stronger .\nthe aviation cocktail has picked up accolades across the globe and for the most part it\u2019s easy to see why : there are great visuals every now and then , alongside some interesting thematic exploration of post - wwii life \u2013 but for every great production choice and character moment there are about four others that are doa . the actors\u2019 ranges are evidently there as , during select moments in the film , they all own the screen , but at other times it\u2019s hard to believe we\u2019re not watching a student film thanks to some weak camera angling and sound production .\nso i\u2019ll stick to the very narrow position that there seems little point in making an aviation without cr\u00e8me de violette . without it , the drink is ( a ) not charmingly blue ; and ( b ) not deliciously , memorably tasty .\nthe violette adds to the nose , and brings additional sweetness and a depth of flavor to the drink . i do believe that a healthy proportion of lemon helps the drink , and experimentation has brought me around to the idea that it should be small , very cold , and emphatically sour . not 2 : 1 sour , but noticably and bracingly sour . so here is the cold glass aviation :\nthe dynasty began with you ,\nreads the plaque above his remains .\nanyway , i\u2019m trying to step up my cocktail game and this site has been very beneficial . i have been voraciously reading everything you , david wondrich , et al . have to write on the subject . i\u2019m also enjoying amy stewart\u2019s \u201cthe drunken botanist\u201d . but , as subjective as cocktails are , you recipes always seem \u201cjust right\u201d and in - line with my tastes . even a wondrich version of the aviation i found online omits the cr\u00e8me de violette , but after seeking out all the ingredients recently and following the recipe above , i can\u2019t imagine omitting anything .\nthe aviation cocktail is smooth , flowery , assertive , yet sweet . like nothing you\u2019ve ever tasted\u2014so i honestly don\u2019t know what to compare it to . the key ingredient is luxardo , maraschino liqueur . it adds a very subtle boozy , cherry finish . it\u2019s worth picking up because it appears in so many other classic cocktails . if you don\u2019t believe me , you can read a whole host of cocktails here .\none of these german - born bartenders was hugo ensslin , who authored recipes for mixed drinks in 1917 , the last major cocktail book published before prohibition in 1920 . the book was not all that well - known until it was recently reprinted .\nwithout a precise flight plan , the first bartender / distiller partnership took off . through repeated trial and experimentation with 7 botanicals , ryan and christian finally landed on a democratic blend with juniper in the background . like all successful partnerships , none is overpowering or masking , but each plays a part in bringing out the best in all . aviation , a gin created to be so balanced and smooth , it can complement any cocktail or even fly solo .\nthe 1935 edition of the waldorf - astoria bar book says ,\namericans , as a rule , drink partly for the taste , mostly for the effect .\nlast week i was in berlin for a bar show and attended a seminar on the german influence on american

is a way of saying that the ingredients of the aviation cocktail \u2014 plot threads , period details , character types \u2014 are all present , but could use some more mixing . the latter is a particular snag : we have three potentially strong characters in the fisher brothers and bob halloran , but the actors don\u2019t seem to have been introduced to them properly ; they play the surface details of tough cop , good guy , etc . without doing much beyond what we might expect from their first appearances . connor boyle as dale riley is a clear exception : given the news that his sister was killed by the opening - sequence murderer , he comes to regard the world with a sour look reminiscent of michael shannon \u2014 not quite angry because there\u2019s no object for fury , but a touch more revengeful than simple moodiness . that\u2019s multi - layered , interesting acting .\njoanne young covers state government , including the legislature and state agencies , and the people

favorite cocktails we drink today have stood the rigorous test of time .\neven bigger failed substitutions department : a bartender with no cr\u00e8me de violette served me an aviation that substituted blue cura\u00e7ao . it was strikingly , garishly blue . it did not taste good . i won\u2019t be doing that again .\nthe film was scheduled for a november shoot in the hopes that it would snow . thus , the majority of the film was shot around valentine , nebraska . but the blizzard scene and snowy aerials were shot with brandon eaton near denver , colorado during an actual snow storm .\ndoug , thank you so much for your blog . i have just \u201cdiscovered\u201d it and the writing , recipes and photography are outstanding . if you would write an equally beautiful and well - written cocktail book i\u2019d buy it in a second and display it proudly on my coffee table !\naccording to the film ' s indiegogo page , the story centers around three wwii war vets dealing with rural life after the war . director ( and colorado native ) david r . higgins promises to highlight\nthe fruited beauty of the often overlooked , but majestic colorado plains .\nand from the looks of the trailer , higgins certainly seems to have an eye for capturing beautifully dramatic moments .\nthe\nheart cut\nis transferred to a blending tank where pure water is added , bringing the gin to the desired 84 proof . it then goes into a bottling tank with a 6 - sprout gravity filler and pumped into bottles . labels , caps , and cap strips are all applied by hand . a craft production from beginning to end , aviation is then ready to pack and ship .\nis another altogether . the editing of the production is very well done but the content takes itself way too seriously . i completely understand that the intention wasn ' t to pen a comedy , but at least a feeling of fun or freedom at times would have fit the bill rather nicely . not the case here though . there is absolutely none of that . from the opening scene to the very end we have a slow burning dramatic entity with no\niowa economic development director tom wheeler and five others in the department lost their jobs in the scandal , which included the purchase of luxury vehicles ineligible for the tax credits and a ladder reportedly rented for $ 1 , 350 . then - gov . chet culver suspended the program in 2009 and requested an investigation by the state auditor and attorney general .\nthis film starts off with the exciting hostage scene and then turns slow and melancholy as higgins dissects what his \u201cheroes\u201d are really like . along the way , the film finds a way to really get under your skin . it\u2019s got a great noirish flavor , even though it\u2019s set in the wide open spaces of nebraska . there are some great scenes of the characters standing in the emptiness of the countryside , with this vastness echoing the enormity of their own personal hell . the death of geoff hadley acts as a catalyst and starts henry and bob on the path to self destruction .\njack arrives on scene to find a posse led by his old friend bob halloran . upon learning that the girl is dead , a shootout takes place injuring the killer who is airlifted back to town . in the airplane the men decide to enact vigilante justice . they kill the murderer . this decision propels the men into a guilt fed downward spiral .\nthe question i pondered as i wrote this article was the likelihood that a home bar in the first decades of the 20th century would include maraschino , or just the more commonly requested basic additives like vermouth , curacao or triple sec , bitters , perhaps grenadine . it\u2019s pure speculation\u2014i have no idea where one would even start looking for stats on the subject\u2014but speculation based on the marginalization of both maraschino and violette , and finally the complete disappearance altogether of the violette . at least maraschino had enough going for it that it stayed on the shelves ; poor violette , with even fewer recipes to prop it up , the marketplace just didn\u2019t support it .\ndec . 31 is the last day of the gregorian calendar . it precedes jan . 1 , the first

capitalism in order to embrace the plays . in the 1970s\u2014and with extra vigour in the thatcherite 1980s\u2014the emphasis in staging brecht in britain was on his political critique at the expense of the epic sweep of the dramas , the songs and jokes and the sheer delight in story - telling . the excessive emphasis on brecht ' s marxism ( \u201ca highly personalised version\u201d , as george steiner has noted ) was sometimes peculiar . the introduction to the methuen edition of his letters includes an encomium to the\nsanders was quiet for a second , just working the yo -

aggrandisement and decay , represented by the stones ; and serious politics and self - exploration , represented by lennon . he continued to be actively involved in the obsessions of the time , both as initiate and leader , which is what makes him the central cultural figure of the age , as brecht was , for instance , in the 30s and 40s . but to continue to develop , lennon had to leave the containment of the beatles and move to america . he had to break up the beatles to continue to lead an interesting life .\nno terror to my view , no frightful face of danger can be new . inur ' d to suffer , and resolv ' d to dare , the fates , without my pow ' r , shall be without my care .\ndespite this royal edict , the black community increased . during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries , it was fashionable for titled and propertied english families to have black slaves as part of their household staff . 9 more than any proclivity on the part of the british aristocracy , however , the increased black population in britain during this time was a result of increased white settlement of the west indies and the explosive expansion of the slave trade . the\ntriangular trade\ninvolved the capture of greater numbers of africans and their shipment from their homelands to the new world . trading ships returning to england carried tropical fruits and , not infrequently , a\ncoffle of slaves ,\nas did the ships bearing planters , sailors , and military and government officials returning to england for their retirement . by 1770 , the black population in london was estimated to be between 14 , 000 and 20 , 000 ; for britain as a whole , it was estimated at between 40 , 000 and 50 , 000 . 10\n, but to join in , all you need do is add a comment .\nitems in my folder and / or highlights & notes may not have been saved to google drive\u2122 or microsoft onedrive\u2122 . are you sure you want to logout ?\nin july 1956 , a few weeks before the berliner ensemble ' s first british tour , bertolt brecht died of a stroke . he left instructions to the actors at his theater am schiffbauerdamm in east berlin . the english , he said , expected german drama to be heavy and plodding . \u201ctherefore our playing will need to be quick , light and strong . \u201d he was right about british fears . even after kenneth tynan ' s enthusiastic benedictions of the ensemble ' s performances , the reception of brecht in britain has always been troubled and quarrelsome .\ni want to turn now to a consideration of the interstices of race , gender , and class variables in late - nineteenth - and early - twentieth - century britain . despite my specific focus on a black , mainly middle - class intelligentsia , the predominantly working - class status of blacks within english society is especially significant to the evolution of racialist ideologies . barbara fields posits that race and gender\u0097and i would add class\u0097are interdependent and socially constructed . 27 in highly class - conscious britain , these characterizations constitute , as well , social hierarchies which , in turn , gave rise to master narratives and discourses . these narrative discourses could be and were crafted and deployed by one group with the intent of subordinating the other . importantly , the discourses of british racialism were predicated , in part , on preconceived attitudes toward distinctions of class . a 1894 issue of the english race , an ideological journal published by the royal society of st . george , read :\nthese debates were inflamed during the race riots that followed the end of world war i . during 1919 and 1920 ,\ndisturbances\nvisited nearly every port town where a black community resided , prompting government calls for deportation . discharged white soldiers who were resentful of and bitter over the scarcity of employment directed their frustrations and hostilities against the black workers . accusations of\nstealing\nwhites\u0092 jobs were accompanied by charges of\nstealing\nwhites\u0092 women , renewing historically long - lived fears of miscegenation . 14 despite the accusations of demobilized soldiers , most members of the black workforce lost their positions to the returning white veterans . indeed , the circumstances were so dire in many instances that some individuals and families felt they had no choice other than to leave britain . most of the newer immigrants , however\u0097if questioned\u0097considered themselves british subjects and chose , when possible , to remain in britain .\nduring these centuries of colonial domination and exploitation , the imperialists of britain can truly be said to have learnt the art of \u0091governing . \u0092 their policy is a dual one . on the one hand , they maintain their domination over the colonial masses through deceit , hypocrisy and corruption . and when these methods fail , brute force and terrorism , backed up by machine guns and bombing planes are brought into action in order to maintain the authority and \u0091prestige\u0092 of these white overlords . 68\nthe editor sent a heavily -

class leisure pursuits in pre - war britain in spare time ( 1939 ) . with its intermittent , minimalist commentary , a music track that often bears little obvious relationship to the images , and a perfunctory , snapshot - like mise - en - sc\u00e8ne , the film is a far cry from the realism of a documentary such as housing problems ( d . arthur elton / edgar anstey 1935 ) and was disliked by the documentary traditionalists , who mistook its refusal to ennoble its working - class subjects as an attempt to satirise them .\nthe ponderous woman looked through the pattern of falling words at the flowers standing cool , firm , and upright in the earth , with a curious expression . she saw them as a sleeper waking from a heavy sleep sees a brass candlestick reflecting the light in an unfamiliar way , and closes his eyes and opens them , and seeing the brass candlestick again , finally starts broad awake and stares at the candlestick with all his powers . so the heavy woman came to a standstill opposite the oval -

punches - pulled films about steve jobs , eliot spitzer and the architects of the enron fiasco . it was likely another of gibney\u2019s films , \u201cwe steal secrets : the story of wikileaks\u201d \u2014 in which the helmer found inventive visual solutions to present a relatively technical subject \u2014 that inspired producer marc shmuger to approach gibney with the idea of investigating stuxnet .\ninstead of treating that message like a superpower to acquire , the film delivers it as a subtle worldview . hidden under arrival \u2019s more palatable themes about overcoming cultural differences and uniting as one species is chiang\u2019s more direct message about learning how to appreciate life\u2019s moments , to live outside the bounds of time .\nsome films don ' t need music , and that ' s part of their aesthetic . but just imagine the\nblue danube waltz\ndocking sequence from 2001 without sound and you ' ll see what i mean . music can take a film and make it more than the sum of its parts .\ndafoe will play a musicologist grieving over the demise of his father who settles in the town of real de catorce , san luis potosi . while there , he tries to reconstruct an early 20th century symphony by a norwegian composer , and gets drawn into investigating the disappearance of a woman from the village . dafoe leads a cast that includes mexican thesps irene azuela , cassandra ciangherotti and brontis jodorowsky . graham wrote \u201copus zero . \u201d chavezmontes produces ; ingmar trost , j\u00f6rg schulze , and andreas zielke co - produce .\nthe film\u2019s second great subject is the secrecy that surrounds the first and prevents citizens and their governments from discussing it , much less doing anything about it . gibney doesn\u2019t explore how much this is a result of post - 9 / 11 paranoia and security measures , and how much simply a product of a decades - long growth in government secrecy , which climaxed with the obama administration\u2019s unprecedented war on whistle - blowers . but the film shows that even some of the nation\u2019s highest - ranking secret keepers now think the policies have been taken too far , and indeed increase rather than reduce the dangers posed by cyber warfare .\ni can ' t believe that people are suggesting that filmmakers should write their own score with garageband find a school of music that has a post grad . composition for screen course and contact them . the student composers i teach at the rcm in london are more than happy to score a half decent film .\nhi justin , soundation is a web based app that is also easy to put together a basic soundtrack with . also not sure if you are familiar with creative commons sites like incompetech ? that was the site that inspired me to make my own library of music available for film . best , dan - o\nthe most prominent among those who now insist torture played no part in the bin laden hunt are senators dianne feinstein , carl levin , and john mccain . all three serve on congressional committees with access to classified material and are in a position to know what they are talking about . indeed , in a letter protesting zero dark thirty to sony chairman michael lynton last month , they claim to have reviewed\nsix million pages\nof intelligence records , which may help explain why congress has such a hard time getting anything done .\nas significant as these ground - breaking attacks and counter - attacks were , they only indicated a tiny portion of what was possible even then . as \u201czero days\u201d reveals , the u . s . has a program called nitro zeus that makes olympic games look like a sandbox game . aimed to \u201cdisrupt , degrade and destroy\u201d iran\u2019s infrastructure , the program would mean \u201ca full scale cyber war , \u201d in the words of one expert , a war in which the u . s . would be subject to the same sort of attacks .\ngansa said the zero dark thirty controversy illustrates the dangers of working with agency consultants who may have their own agendas . \u201ci was so upset about that movie , \u201d gansa said . \u201cclearly mark and kathryn did research but they listened to a consultant who felt that torture clearly worked and led to the capture of osama bin laden . many people would dispute that , so to represent that as the truth and put that out there to millions of people ? you don\u2019t take one person\u2019s word as gospel and present it as factual . \u201d\na foia request about the film filed by judicial watch , a conservative watchdog group , turned up a series of emails between the filmmakers and langley that further demonstrated how eager the cia was to support the project . on june 7 , 2011 , cia spokesperson marie e . harf argued that both the agency and pentagon should back the boal / bigelow film over competing projects . \u201ci know we don\u2019t pick favorites but it makes sense to get behind a winning horse , \u201d she wrote . \u201cmark and kathryn\u2019s movie is going to be the first and the biggest . it\u2019s got the most money behind it , and two oscar winners on board . \u201d\na screenplay is more like a sonnet than a novel . action on screen unfolds with visceral immediacy , but any story with sweep\u2014this one takes place over nearly a decade\u2014can only be told with broad impressionistic strokes . the challenge is greater when trying to tell a true story . the interrogation scenes in the beginning color the entire tale , but they are necessary . they are part of the story . without them , i suspect some of the same critics now accusing it of being pro - torture would instead be calling zero dark thirty a whitewash .\nin a way , gibney has given us a \u201c dr . strangelove \u201d for the generation of warfare beyond the nuclear era . my suggestion is that , after the upcoming political conventions are finished , the film be shown on national tv and the candidates devote their first debate to its implications . that would be a start .\nwriter - director ted braun \u2019s critically acclaimed first feature film , darfur now , was nominated for best documentary of 2007 by the national board of review and the broadcast critics association , and went on to win the naacp image award for best documentary of the year . warner brothers distributed darfur now worldwide and financed along with participant media , which spearheaded a global social action campaign . for his work writing and directing the film , the international documentary association awarded braun their 2007 emerging filmmaker of the year . braun is an associate professor in screenwriting at usc\u2019s school of cinematic arts where he has just been appointed the joseph campbell endowed chair in cinematic ethics .\nthey have a lot in common with the martian , starring damon as a man who becomes his best self when he\u2019s left alone in the cosmos . the bizarro - world inversion of dr . mann . i\u2019m hesitant to even mention the martian in an essay about science fiction ; the film is famously accurate about everything besides the dust storm at the beginning . actually , the most fantastical part of the martian is the stuff back on earth , where nasa has bottomless funding and china shares technology with any government that needs it . ( apparently , the martian is set a couple decades in the future , making the film\u2019s disco obsession even less convincing . )\none doesn\u2019t need a mushroom cloud \u2014 though gibney offers a few \u2014 to imagine the potential havoc malware can unleash , though it\u2019s not stuxnet the world has to fear . that worm had a built - in cut - off date , but if gibney and sanger\u2019s sources are to be believed , operation nitro zeus represents a far greater threat , one that could be just as easily redirected against us . the film illustrates how iran already struck saudi aramco and several u . s . banks , and then there\u2019s the question ( reported in the news , but not so explicitly raised here ) of how u . s . ally israel might use the technology . while most people weren\u2019t looking , america went and changed the rules of engagement , and with \u201czero days , \u201d gibney urgently suggests how little time the world has to clarify its stand before the wrong party goes too far ."]}

minute puppet film / commercial in approximately 2 months .\nlate mot\u00f6rhead frontman lemmy kilmister stars as a surly , blood - guzzling vampire in finnish gothic - rock singer jyrki 69\u2019s \u201cbloodlust\u201d video . the eerie footage \u2013 also featuring porn star ron jeremy , guns n\u2019 roses keyboardist dizzy reed and l . a . guns guitarist tracii guns \u2013 previews phoebe dollar\u2019s upcoming horror film sunset society , which follows vampire rockers on the sunset strip .\nlemmy first appeared on a troma movie soundtrack with mot\u00f6rhead\u2019s \u201csacrifice\u201d for tromeo and juliet . in 2010 , lemmy and company provided a song for mr . bricks : a heavy metal murder musical with the rocker \u201coutlaw\u201d . lemmy\u2019s final appearance on a troma soundtrack will be in the upcoming troma release return to return to nuke \u2018em high aka vol . 2 , which features \u201cshoot out all of your lights\u201d , a track off mot\u00f6rhead\u2019s final album .\ni passed on lemmy because i figured it was going to be another behind kissing movie along the lines of the justin bieber movie , plus because of my age i didn ' t have a good understanding of motorhead . i accidentally watched it this week on tv and man am i pissed at myself . the creators told lemmy on the first day , they just want an honest portrayal of his life and they got it . lemmy is funny , smart , sometimes annoying in his high level of common sense , he is like a really cool grandfather to anyone under 30 . the fact that lemmy manages to let these people in his house , allows them to talk to his son and friends and still keeps plenty of private details private , pretty much explains lemmy in a nutshell . i had extra fun with it and enjoyed it beyond words . lemmy is one awesome mf\nin the past two years , two great rock documentaries were made about the groups anvil and rush . you don ' t even need to like those bands to love those films . lemmy is rightfully considered a legend and this documentary is full of accolades by metal / hard rock heroes . while it is an interesting film , i would have liked to have seen more about his childhood , what brought him to this point . i found more interesting the comments by his former band mates , and particularly vanian and captain sensible from the damned . ozzy is here and , like lemmy himself , is hard to understand . there needed to be more subtitles . one of the best things about this film is it shows lemmy to be a pretty good person . its great to be able to meet his guitarist son paul . i think this film needed more of that , more about the man than the legend . however , if you ' re a motorhead fan , my rating could be kicked up to at least 9 . rock needed lemmy and he has delivered for decades . its a fitting tribute , not as good as it could have been , but i ' m glad it was made . i recommend it to non metal fans , so you can meet a true legend .\nthe release will feature the band ' s two shows in munich , germany , which they played a month before their frontman lemmy ' s passing .\ndidn ' t know much about lemmy before this movie , seems like a really cool guy . looking forward to seeing him at coachella this year .\nthink you ' ve got the chops to publish movie reviews and film criticism on cinemafunk ? well , you ' re in luck . cinemafunk is always looking for new contributors who have knowledge in new and classic films . find out how .\nit ' s not everyday an american film producer turns up at your school and says he ' d like to talk about a former pupil . but that ' s what happened to headmaster emyr williams at ysgol syr thomas jones in amlwch .\ndo you love lemmy ? ? no , nor me . or at least , i didn ' t before i went to see this documentary as a brownie - points concession to my metal - head boyfriend . now i think lemmy is awesome ! still don ' t like metal or motorhead , but that is really irrelevant because this film is so engaging and its subject so endearing , original and wonderful . i knew little about lemmy apart from the cowboy hat and the warts . but my heart was truly warmed - both by him and by the loving regard that fellow giants of metal apparently hold him in . the man ' s a total one - off and on that basis alone , this documentary is well worth seeing . i still hate metal but even if they ' re only indifferent to the music i think most people would love this film . and if you ' re a fan already , then it ' s absolutely unmissable .\nmuch like mot\u00f6rhead shows , this documentary should be played loud , really loud . if you were looking for the chronological examination of lemmy\u2019s career , you will be disappointed . if you thought lemmy lived a larger than life persona and became a different person off - stage , you will be thoroughly surprised . lemmy is a common person , eating french fries and playing video games , trash piling up on the coffee table , and collecting items that interest him . he is most of my friends in my undergrad college years . lemmy explains that lemmy does what he wants , when he wants , and on his own terms , but is always willing to take the time to reminisce and take a photograph , but never smiles , because that would not be cool .\nvon braun\u0092s guards capture lemmy and take him to be interrogated by alpha 60 . lemmy is then given a tour of the computer\u0092s control center , where he learns that von braun intends to declare war on the still - civilized outlands ( with the intention of automating the rest of the galaxy ) . lemmy is too complex for the computer to understand , so he is released until the computer can determine what to do with him . lemmy returns to his hotel and finds natasha waiting for him . though he knows she is also automated , he cannot help falling in love with her , and tries to help her break through her automation by teaching her the meaning of words like\nconscience ,\ntenderness ,\nand\nlove .\ntheir surreal , stylized love scene is interrupted as the police barge in . the police , who have discovered lemmy\u0092s true identity , arrest lemmy and take him back to the control center , but lemmy shoots all the guards and kills von braun . this final killing renders the alpha 60 impotent . as the stunned mutant inhabitants of alphaville stumble through the city , lemmy saves natasha , who has learned the meaning of the word\nlove ,\nand they drive back to the outlands together\nunlike 2001 : a space odyssey ( 1968\u0096only three years later ! ) , which employed highly advanced scientific extrapolations , alphaville uses science mainly as light background or as a basis for subtle witticisms . the film\u0092s eerie science fiction mood is almost the sole product of sound , unusual negative - hue and jump - cut editing , and lighting . for instance , piercing electronic beeps , gravelly voices , and sudden absences of sound are unexpectedly scattered through the film . mundane middle - class characters talk about their recent space flight . most scenes take place in dank rooms , endless hallways , or outside at night . take away these elements , and the result ( aside from a few very strange scenes ) resembles a third - rate french detective film .\nit stars ( the voice of ) danny trejo and it features lemmy playing a priest . like i asked before , how can it not be amazing ?\nlemmy ' s girlfriend cheryl keuleman said the rainbow bar was a fitting location to honour him because it was his\nfavourite place in the world\n.\ndespite being about music , gutterd\u00e4mmerung is a silent film \u2013 but not just any silent film . branded as the \u2018loudest silent movie ever made\u2019 . a live band will be providing the soundtrack as the film tours the world , playing music composed from contributions from all of its rock\u2019n\u2019roll superstars . \u201cthe manner in which a silent movie was given music by a piano player will essentially be replaced by a rock\u2019n\u2019roll band , \u201d explains jesse . bj\u00f6rn\u2019s taken iggy pop\u2019s current band , one hell of a brilliant set of musicians , and as it tours around the world it will incorporate the performers who live there , so it\u2019s got this roving feel to it . we all believe in it , even though we necessarily didn\u2019t know what we\u2019re believing in . \u201d\nafter commenting on how lemmy enjoyed his alone time , though it came across as a bit sad in the documentary , the director succinctly sums up the character of the motorhead frontman , adding ,\nlemmy made his own choices , and was content with them . don\u2019t feel bad for lemmy . he did what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it , every day for the better part of six decades . i can\u2019t say that about many people .\nthe monument was built after a crowd - funding campaign raised more than 22 , 000 dollars ( \u00a316 , 600 ) following lemmy ' s death in december .\na striking black - and - white hybrid of film noir and science fiction , alphaville ( 1965 ) is now one of the most enduringly popular of jean - luc godard ' s films of the 1960s . working without sets , special effects , or even a script , godard created a dystopian vision of a technocratic city of the future , which resonates with filmmakers today . alphaville pits secret agent lemmy caution ( eddie constantine ) against alpha 60 , the super - computer that presides over a city where weeping is outlawed , poetry goes unrecognised and the words ' conscience ' and ' love ' have ceased to exist . lemmy ' s mission is to capture the renegade scientist professor von braun ( howard vernon ) but is complicated when he falls in love with the professor ' s ravishing daughter , natasha ( anna karina ) . in this first ever exploration of godard ' s masterpiece , published on the fortieth anniversary of its release , chris darke uncovers the film ' s unique combination of genres and styles and draws on new interviews with the director ' s collaborators to chronicle the film ' s production .\ni managed to see this at the local cinema last night , the riverview special late night showing , and it was a joy . it was a wonderful film and to watch it with a like minded audience enriched the experience . the film is well shot , well edited and has great access to a wide range of people from lemmy ' s past , and people who have been inspired by him . all the interviews seemed to give the same image of the man , which is one of the main points about him ; he lives the life he wants , accepting the consequences and living an authentic life . the film is surprisingly funny and moving , and although he lives a life very different to most people i think it is quite life affirming . the film has a fantastic cast , well interviewed , some good shots of his music ( but not so much that it would alienate people who are not into heavy rock ' n ' roll ) some careful editing to give coherence , judicious use of slow - mo and worthwhile clips after the titles . i was smiling for most of this movie , which i did not expect . this movie deserves the accolades heaped on it . it is an excellently made movie about a very interesting subject . i would love to see the team do another movie , or biographical movie , as their style here made what could have been a humdrum run through of one unusual lifestyle a wonderfully entertaining , informative and interesting film .\nyou do not have to enjoy mot\u00f6rhead to know that lemmy has an important place among heavy metal and its parent genre rock n\u2019 roll . for being a forerunner to punk and metal , mot\u00f6rhead\u2019s songs have , once you strip away the distortion , rock n\u2019 roll tendencies . once you heard elvis , there was no going back as lemmy claims . lemmy\u2019s style is more of a rhythm bassist which is why his bass lines are so hard driving that the guitars only add higher notes to the melodies .\nthe film is set in a world where god has saved the world from sin by taking from mankind the devil\u2019s \u201cgrail of sin\u201d\u2026 the evil guitar . the earth has now turned into a puritan world where there is no room for sex , drugs or rock \u2018n\u2019 roll .\nfor the most part , olliver and orshoski are smart enough to allow lemmy ' s unique personality to come to them , as opposed to pushing a case for it .\nthe film promises fans more access than ever before to kilmister ' s life , and includes interviews with past and present bandmates and such peers / admirers as slash , dave grohl , the clash ' s mick jones , alice cooper , steve vai and wrestling superstar triple h .\nmay 24 , 2000 | using a satiric blend of american detective noir and science fiction dystopia , jean - luc godard\u0092s 1965 film alphaville : a strange adventure of lemmy caution predated films like blade runner ( 1982 ) by almost two decades . godard also reached back to fritz lang\u0092s film metropolis ( 1927 ) and aldous huxley\u0092s novel brave new world ( 1935 ) to find sources of scientific / political allegories ( dixon 61 ) . finally , godard drew from the popular medium of comic strips to shape the film\u0092s stark visual style ( roud 9 ) . but even with its mishmash of pop - art influences , alphaville retains a singular role in the canon of influential science fiction films\u0096it completely omits the use of the usual sci - fi devices , props , gadgets , and sets . with his innovative technique of filming already - existing objects in ways that make audiences see everyday things as if for the first time ( tv guide ) , his use of scientific jokes , and his low - tech characterization of lemmy caution , godard finds a fresh way to explore a hackneyed message . technology has the power to empower our most profound yearnings , but it all too often services our most shallow instincts .\nmost rock stars probably wouldn ' t appreciate a documentary that exploits their personality for laughs , but the great thing about lemmy is that he ' s in on the joke .\nname ' lemmy ' while roadying for jimi hendrix and co when he hit london in 1967 ; it comes from the oft repeated saying ' len ' me a quid ' .\naustin - - you don ' t have to be a metalhead to love\nlemmy ,\nan awestruck depiction of a rock god whose eccentricities and longevity make him one of the music industry ' s more fascinating characters . wes orshoski and greg olliver ' s film clearly is fan - made , but the testimonials they collect are wide - ranging enough , and their firsthand material entertaining enough , to convey the subject ' s appeal to audiences beyond the metal crowd .\nin the second documentary on this list , lemmy is prominently featured as a voice on a band that very few people know much about despite being revered by the artists in the metal world . lemmy actually recruited their lead guitarist , lips , to join motorhead , but lips declined . this is a must watch for anyone who even dabbles in the metal world .\nlemmy\nfeatures appearances by such high - profile kilmister friends / peers as metallica , dave grohl , ozzy osbourne , slash , billy bob thornton and pro wrestler triple h .\nthe ace of spades rockers disbanded following the death of ian\nlemmy\nkilmister on 28 december 2015 , but will celebrate their last string of gigs with an official music release .\nthe clip also features a live rock and roll band showing explosions and a crowd of people playing guitars , a possible harbinger of the event\u2019s live component . the film\u2019s website does not specify when the movie and live band concert pairing will tour , other than a general early 2016 release date .\nthis film is about lemmy , his unique and daring image and music . don ' t expect any in - depth bio or anything though . half of the documentary is filled with superficial ass - kissing and in my opinion way too much metallica . you don ' t get to hear lemmy ' s early works but there ' s still plenty of live music footage and chit chat . among the interviews , henry rollins had an interesting perspective and joan jett gave an apt if not eloquent summary of lemmy :\neverybody assimilates .\nyou know , go along to get along , you know , to get what they need to get . . . i don ' t see lemmy as that kind of guy .\ni see lemmy as doing things his way to get where he wants to go .\nand that ' s attractive , because people don ' t do that anymore .\nlemmy is constantly smoking and appears to be drinking a lot too . he ' s obviously a smoker but i wonder if the alcohol consumption is exaggerated at this late stage of the game for the coolness factor even though he says he\ndoesn ' t want to advertise\nthat . at one point , he takes a pill for diabetes but again , it ' s never addressed in a detailed , serious way . it is what it is . there ' s a bittersweet moment between his son which again , seems to go under the radar . it reminds me of john wayne ' s persona , his aloofness . in a bar , lemmy billy bob thorton talk indirectly about how much money he makes and how little lemmy makes in comparison . although lemmy probably works ten times as hard for his money , he doesn ' t ' sell out ' except for the metallica stuff but that ' s my own personal opinion . it ' s shocking to see that while lemmy is a bona fide collector , he is also hoarder . seriously , his tiny apartment is overflowing with objects collecting dust . there ' s something loyal about it even though he doesn ' t remember the name of someone who gave him something . it ' s obvious that there is sentimental and a social attachment to them all . in short , lemmy / motorhead fans will get a kick out of all the footage .\nuseful biographical material helps establish the singer ' s place in rock history , stretching back to his days as a hendrix roadie , and interviews ranging from ozzy osbourne to dave grohl flesh out the picture . but the film ' s most valuable footage is of lemmy himself - - shooting the breeze about the entertainment biz with billy bob thornton , discussing his love life with the son he didn ' t meet until the boy was 6 and test - driving a vintage german tank .\njean - luc godard ' s film \u2013\na science fiction film without special effects\nin the words of the critic andrew sarris ;\na fable on a realistic ground\nin godard ' s own description \u2013 is a cry of protest aimed at the worshippers of science and logic . unlike stanley kubrick ' s 2001 : a space odyssey , which now resembles a picturesque relic of long - abandoned aspirations , alphaville still seems to be watching the world come to meet it . and the world is very much closer to the director ' s creation than it was back in 1965 .\n\u201cit is primarily a visual experience with very little dialogue , \u201d rollins said this summer . \u201cand it is not a film that you will see in the traditional way of going into a movie theater and sitting down . you will be standing up for this very loud , fully immersive experience . \u201d\nimprint : i . b . tauris publisher : i . b . tauris & co ltd series : cine -

shot of the great man ' s life , delivering vignettes that nicely convey lemmy ' s influence on many of those who followed in his footsteps . the film offers much to entertain those who are not motorhead fans and for those not aware of lemmy ' s legacy . it is an excellent companion piece to his autobiography white line fever , which is to be recommended for those wanting more detail on the subject , but that is not to say that ' lemmy ' does not manage to pack in a good amount of detail itself in tracing the man ' s origins , nicely cut together with scenes that illustrate his ongoing contribution and relevance to the world of rock music at the age of 67 . much credit to directors greg olliver and wes orshoski .\nin penelope spheeris\u2019s exploration of the excess , gaudiness , and empty lives of the la metal scene , lemmy comes off as a wise cracking buddha . his age and wisdom are a stark contrast to the youth and brash stupidity of the fledging rockers in the scene . lemmy lives hard and yet has a good head on his shoulders to talk about it with insight and intelligence .\nsingerman , who managed motorhead from 1992 until the group disbanded after lemmy ' s death , said he believed the stoke - born rock star would be\nextremely proud\nof his statue .\nthe film i felt really captured the essence of who he is what he is about and how he go ' s about doing what he does . when you watch normal doc ' s the interviews feel stale and bland , but everyone in this film is almost worshiping at the altar of lemmy kilmister and as well they should . it follows a nice flow throughout and does a great job of covering his early career and life up to what he is doing now . a portrait of a every day man who just happens to be an extraordinary musician . if you don ' t know who he is you should watch this and get to know him a bit . the best part is that none of it get ' s cheesy and overly sentimental . it ' s just him and that ' s it .\nyou can see a preview of the upcoming horror movie in the above four -

effects of amitabh bachchan and zanjeer . for , this relatively small film not only introduced a brand new beast called the angry young man but also confirmed the arrival of a new bollywood hero .\nhis fans have flooded the social media with stills from the movie and one of his fans tweeted , \u201c11 may 1973 # zanjeercompletes43years \u2026 @ srbachchan with sher khan pran ji . beautiful friendship on n off screen\u2026\u201d\nthe first look of director apoorva lakhia\u2019s zanjeer remake has been launched and the director says he is missing jailed actor sanjay dutt , who is essaying the role that was played by veteran actor pran in the 1973 film . sanjay is currently serving his three -

toned country - cousin ardh satya , numerous cops have vented their cinematic spleen in films as far - ranging in quality as singham and policegiri .\nafter that i went to raaj kumar who was already working with mumtaz for a film in madras . he liked the film . he felt it was a terrific subject , and that he would like to shoot from the very next day . but he wanted me to go south to shoot the film since he had given bulk dates to a producer in madras .\nin which she had acted opposite amitabh . i guess she did not wanted to take one more risk with this film .\nagneepath 1990 is an action drama film directed by mukul anand . it stars amitabh bachchan as the protagonist vijay deenanath chauhan .\nalso can be said that modes of promotions has also increased by leaps and bounds . but leaving the above behind , and going movie to movie , amitabh bachchan hit an extreme purple patch for almost 15 - 16 years between 1973 - 88 .\ntheir success and hallowed stature notwithstanding , salim - javed have faced regular criticism about the path or means chosen by their hero . in film after film , the duo emphasised and even justified their protagonist\u2019s foray into anti - social activities such as smuggling .\nand so , amitabh bachchan , the last man standing and the last choice , was fatefully cast in zanjeer . luckily , it seems the lanky struggler not only had salim - javed\u2019s professional endorsement but also colleagues pran , om prakash and ajit rooting for him . zanjeer would become a foundation stone film for bachchan . talking about it , big b has often pointed out that salim - javed were close to rajesh khanna in the 70s and could have easily persuaded the king of romance for zanjeer . but salim - javed , more than betting their money on amitabh bachchan , were simply committed to the cause of their script . \u201cwe strongly felt that amitabh was the ideal casting for zanjeer , \u201d salim khan has repeatedly maintained in various interviews . he went on to add , \u201ceven in deewaar , rajesh khanna was signed by gulshan rai ( producer ) , but we felt amitabh was perfect for it . we insisted on him . \u201d\ni was especially impressed by the fight scene between amitabh and shatrughan sinha in the film . i selected amitabh because of the emotions his eyes could generate . i thought i should give this man a break in my film even though his earlier films had flopped .\nunlike ram gopal varma\u2019s remake of sholay , which was purely misguided , and karan malhotra\u2019s agneepath , which was unnecessarily brutal , zanjeer is just what a remake should be . it\u2019s respectful to the original material which , let me hasten to add , was no masterpiece , and suspiciously similar to a 1967 film called death rides a horse .\nthe most tongue - in - cheek homage i\u2019ve seen in a remake occurs in this film when we see the new teja - mona pair watching actor ajit and bindu in the original zanjeer on a dvd . the sequence is irreverent without appearing to belittle the original . it reminds us of the renewed cycle of art and individual talent .\n75 years is a long time . amitabh bachchan has spent a good 40 of those 75 years giving performances to cherish . so consistently outstanding is his output that we forget his earlier performances . some of the work he did before zanjeer and overnight superstardom was absolutely stunning , but largely unrecognized . here\u2019s looking at the 10read more the post 10 unsung performances by amitabh bachchan before zanjeer appeared first on bollywood hungama .\nsrihari , prakash raj , ankur bhatia and tanikella bharani in lead roles . mahi gill plays the role mona darling in the film .\nsaheb , biwi , aur ghulam ( \u201cthe master , mistress , and the servant\u201d ) \u2013 1962 based on a novel by the bengal author bimal mitra this is an extraordinary film about the decline of a feudal gentry during the colonial period . again featuring guru dutt and waheeda rahman the film\u2019s real treat however is meena kumari as the youngest bride of the household . this film has a phenomenal soundtrack .\ndilwale dulhaniya le jayenge students used to love this film because it brought back good , old -

packed performance and established new rules for his contemporaries . the original film had well - eteched out characters like sher khan ( pran ) , mala ( jaya bhaduri ) and mona darling ( bindu ) . the remake unfortunately didn ' t do justice to the characters at all .\nsince 1997 amitabh bachchan has starred and been successfull in uncountable number of movies , though most have been in character role capacity thus cant be counted ( in this context that is ) , though he has again had pivotal roles in movies like paa , black , cheeni kum and khakee but such movies wont be 10 % of his movies since 2000 and definitely dont echo back at the glorious run of 1973 - 88 .\nluck , of course , was in favour of the gum - chewing dark horse . when mumtaz opted out , jaya bhaduri agreed to play a small but crucial role as big b\u2019s love interest . they were dating at the time and she said yes instantly for the sake of her future husband . the story of zanjeer , in some ways , is also the story of amitabh and jaya bachchan . as in the film , she became his acerbic -

flown urdu in the dialogue .\nwith color films starting to become popular in mainstream indian cinema during the late 1950s , dutt had the title song and one of the nautch girl dance songs reshot in color . the version of chaudhvin ka chand that i saw , however , was entirely in black - and - white .\nin the early 1960s some eccentric genius put everything together : song , cast , photography , scene - setting . and the song - sequence \u2018chaudhvin ka chand\u2019 from the hindi film of that name became \u2013 and stayed \u2013 one of the most haunting romantic song - sequences in hindi cinema history .\nthe film was hugely successful at the box office . the inordinate success of this guru dutt production helped set into motion several staples of hindi films . though ostensibly a romance , chaudhvin ka chand \u2019s thematic nucleus explored the deep emotional connection between the two friends - \u2013 aslam and pyaare miyan .\nbut putting that aside , chaudhvin ka chand is an engaging , enjoyable film , so little wonder perhaps that it won three filmfare awards on its release in 1960 ( best art director \u2013 black and white , best lyricist and best playback singer , the latter for mohammad rafi for the title song ) .\nnot related to chaudhvin ka chand , but it was a sad , sad , day for every true cricket fan today . gaddafi stadium is beautiful , and so is lahore . a salute to the cops who lost their lives while ensuring the safety of the sri lankan cricketers . long live cricket . peace .\nhe took to making commercial films like chaudvin ka chand ( 1960 ) and sahib bibi aur ghulam ( 1962 ) . the films were a success at the box office but his heart wasn\u2019t in cinema any more .\nthe film was made in a time when technicolor was just introduced in indian film making . a trend was popular those days in which some important or dramatic scenes would be shot in colour and the rest in black and white . in this film , the title track chaudhvin ka chand sequence got this chance . see more \u00bb\nthere\u2019s something soulful about guru dutt . chaudhvin ka chand , or full moon as it appears on urltoken , is the third of his films i\u2019ve seen and in each one the actor brings an intensity , but also a sense of sadness , to his characters \u2013 even in a fun and frothy film like mr & mrs \u201955 .\nbut , finally , the story concentrated on the characters ' emotional lives , and the film ' s huge success testifies to the commonality of emotional impulses among all human beings everywhere . chaudhvin ka chand and mughal - e - azam were both released in 1960 and they certainly brought the appeal of the muslim social back into audience consciousness .\nthe true efflorescence of this genre began after chaudhvin ka chand was released in june 1960 - \u2013 mughal - e - azam thronged theatres just two months later in august , 1960 , and barsaat ki raat ( with madhubala playing shabnam and bharat bhushan playing aman hyderabadi ) completed the hat -

sequence went further . it matched the classical romance setting with the actors ( the ever - romantic - ever - longing dutt and the incurably gorgeous waheeda ) . here , several other \u2018hits\u2019 fall short . the voices of the actors , their persona , demeanour and the scene - setting do not match the otherwise glorious music , lyrics and singers .\ni stu , bled across your blog through twitter . i like this review a lot . chaudhvin ka chand is not a filmi masterpiece like pyaasa or kaagaz ke phool but it is a wondrous feast for waheeda - worshippers and also one of johnny walker ' s most meaningful roles . i was delighted to read your assessment of his merits - any johnny walker fan is ok with me .\nthere are some who leave behind an indelible mark despite their short lives . guru dutt was one such man who strode on earth but for a while but left behind giant footprints . time and sight and sound both named him as amongst the best directors of all times . films like pyaasa and chaudhvin ka chand are taught in cinema schools worldwide and are counted as among the 100 best films of all time . . .\nhitherto , there had been the occasional film that explored the nature of male friendship , including the successful barsaat ( 1949 ) and naya daur ( 1957 ) , but chaudhvin ka chand ratcheted up the degree of the story\u2019s commitment to the bonds of friendship . aslam places their friendship even higher than his wife , and pyaare is so shamed by his inadvertent wooing of his friend\u2019s spouse that he prefers to embrace death than face him .\nhi hashmat , and thank * you * so much for your visit and comment ! it ' s such an honor . saghir sir ' s work was brilliant , and you ' re absolutely right about his work living on too . the dialogue in chaudhvin ka chaand was sheer genius !\nchaudhvin ka chand is a treat all around . four stars and then some for a beautifully executed film . it has its issues , but it is thoroughly enjoyable and nothing short of quality entertainment once the viewer appreciates and accepts the melodrama for what it is . if you have seen other works by guru dutt and waheeda rehman , you know how good they can be . if you have yet to see them , what are you waiting for ?\n\u2018 chaudhvin ka chand\u2019 as a song is one of the most lilting romantic ballads in the history of romantic ballads . music , lyrics and singer come together so much like a trinity . it\u2019s impossible to tell father , from son , from spirit . it\u2019s impossible to tell which came first , which second and which third . they\u2019re fused , as if inseparably . of course \u2018kabhi kabhi mere dil mein\u2019 and several songs from indian ( not just hindi ) cinema , also boast of this mystical fusion .\nthe composer of tunes like chaudhvin ka chaand , neele gagan ke tale and aye meri zohra jabin dies at 86renowned music director of yesteryears , ravi shankar sharma , popular called as \u2018ravi\u2019 passed away in mumbai late wednesday night , according to family sources . he was 86 and had been ailing since some time when he breathed his [ \u2026 ]\ndozens of pretty to good - looking actresses have \u2018sung\u2019 in memorable classical romance song - sequences in hindi cinema over the last 60 to 70 years . not one comes close to the immaculate waheeda . if anything she\u2019s the one challenging her own rank with appearances in pyaasa , kaagaz ke phool , sahib bibi aur ghulam . but in no other song - sequence is she as radiant as she is in ckc . . but in no other song - sequence is she as radiant as she is in \u2018chaudhvin ka chand\u2019 .\nwhen a man looks upon his new bride under the moonlight , he is tempted to admit that her beautiful face is \u201clike the lotus that is blooming in the lake\u201d or \u201clike an ode that has been plucked on the instrument of life . \u201d guru dutt and mohammed sadiq\u2019s classic hindi film about the then - muslim city of lucknow , \u201cchaudhvin ka chand , \u201d is full of poetic depictions of that ultimate love in a man\u2019s life , but more poignantly , it teaches us how to give up that great love when following one\u2019s own convictions .\nbefore aishwarya rai enchanted us in \u201cdevdas\u201d , there was that starlet waheeda rehman , who was \u201cthe dream of a poet\u201d , playing the beautiful wife , the woman at the center of the love triangle . before the shahrukh khan of today showcased his talents in \u201ckal ho naa ho\u201d and \u201cmy name is khan\u201d , there was the original star of the golden age of bollywood cinema , guru dutt , whose films such as \u201cpyaasa\u201d and \u201ckaagaz ke phool\u201d prepared him to delve into the theme of friendship vs . love in this film translated as \u201cfull moon\u201d . before \u201cslumdog millionaire\u201d , there was a 1960 gem called \u201cchaudhvin ka chand\u201d , and after it , indian movie history changed forever .\nyeh lucknow ki sarzameen , yeh rang - roop ka chaman , yeh husn - o - ishq ka chaman ( this city of lucknow . this garden of colour and beauty , this land of grace and gallantry ) sadiq also adeptly showcased the characters ' religio - cultural identity in the tehzeeb ( etiquette ) and customs of pyaare miyan ' s palatial house as well as the middle - class households of his friends aslam and shaida ( johnny walker ) .\nmuch of what makes today\u2019s bollywoo films so enjoyable was pioneered or given widespread acclaim by \u201cchaudhvin ka chand\u201d . among those elements is the comic stock - character of the third of the best friends , mirza shaiza , played by johnny walker , who bumbles his way into every brothel and bar he could find . in one scene , he tries to get up at home , but can\u2019t , and we soon find out about how he\u2019s living at home with mother . in another scene , he dresses up as a pauper to secretly take pictures for his friend the nawab . in the process , he hilariously catches a corrupt policeman ! johnny walker would go on to bring his squeaky voice and pointed moustache to other dutt films like \u201cbaazi\u201d and \u201cpyaasa\u201d .\ndirector : mohammed sadiq cast : guru dutt and waheeda rehman lyrics : shakeel badayuni music : ravi voice : mohammed rafi song awards : filmfare best male playback award for mohammed rafi singing the title track filmfare best lyricist award for shakeel badayuni writing of the title track chaudhvin ka chand ( 1960 ) was directed by mohammed sadiq . a production of guru dutt , the film centers on a love triangle between guru dutt , rehman and waheeda rehman . the setting is the city of lucknow in northern india , where islamic culture flourished . two of the three best friends who live in this city have fallen in love with the same woman named jameela unknowingly . aslam ( guru dutt ) and nawab ( rehman ) are the two friends caught in this love triangle with jameela ( waheeda rehman ) . an integral part of any guru dutt film , comic relief was provided by johnny walker who plays mirza masaraddik shaiza .\ni looooooove the songs from this movie especially chaudhvin ka chaand - rafi is divine and the picturisation is perfect . for some reason , every time this played on tv i only managed to catch the ending and a few parts here and there . so , i know the story and most of the problems with the script that you mentioned ! i do intend to watch the whole movie sometime soon , and hopefully watching it in its entirety , the plot - holes wont bother me so much . or maybe just watching waheeda + guru dutt + rehman + johnny walker will distract me from them ! ; - )\nother than the ending , the climax of the film occurs when aslam finds out that the woman his best friend has been obsessing over is his wife jameela . he runs down a flight of steps at the port to enter a surreal desolated landscape where he sings another mohammad rafi song , \u201cmili khak main mohabbat\u201d . this is where indian dramatic cinema is at its best . dutt , who had just looked longingly at his friend , now realizes he must choose one of two loves . he looks back at the bridge where he came from as well as to the barren landscape . the camera zooms slowly to dutt as he sings of his disappointment , and as the scene progresses , the camera roams around the symbolic landscape , sometimes watching the singer behind bushes , sometimes behind the ruins of buildings . the freshly created chaos is magnified by dutt\u2019s lyrics and expression\u2014a mix of contemplation and sadness at the inevitability of life . here , we feel that he must give up that great love of \u201cchaudhvin ka chand ho\u201d by following his convictions and give it up to his best friend .\ndutt\u2019s masterful understanding of the cinema as a mode of expression is captured in the song he sings to rehman in the moon song \u201cchaudhvin ka chand ho\u201d . in it , the camera follows aslam as he slowly approaches his subject , his new bride . just as he sings of her hair being like clouds \u201cbent over your shoulders\u201d , the screen captures the skies and the heroine\u2019s shoulders as she cowers over the balcony . just as dutt sings of her eyes like \u201cthe containers of liquor are full\u201d , we get the first close up of rehman and sense her dashing beauty . like many sections of the film , especially during the singing , the audience looks at the protagonist through camouflage like shadows , bamboos , or opened tiles , as if we are merely glimpsing into the form of beauty without actually experiencing it . we are reminded of the ever - present moon as dutt skillfully pans towards rehman , and again when the camera sinks below the building to show just how her face is like the lotus in the lake . dutt\u2019s skillful manipulation of this scene is pure poetry , just like the poetry that he is singing .\nbollyviewer : i ' d love to know what you think of it after you watch it in its entirety . i ' m quite confident the four outstanding acting talents will distract you from the plot holes ! i really enjoyed the screen time johnny walker got . of the movies i ' ve seen him in , it ' s probably the most i ' ve seen him get . and he truly makes it tick . and the songs , oh , yes , they ' re brilliant ! anonymous [ 1 ] : i ' ll take that as a compliment ! i do have this tendency to try to appreciate music for what it ' s aimed at ( time and place ) . that baba seghal song is effective where it ' s supposed to be . and so is each and every song in chaudhvin ka chand , except that these songs are way , way , waaaay more special , of course ! it is my belief that a good dance track is much more of a commodity than a well written track . but , of course , i am not free of bias . anonymous [ 2 ] : i have yet to see delhi -

intentioned people that result in tragedy . the nawab\u2019s ailing mother is anxious to see her son married , and has arranged his marriage ; still seeking his briefly glimpsed beatrice , he asks his poor friend aslam ( guru dutt ) to marry the girl his mother has secured \u2013 who is of course jamila . the film will then trace the series of errors and obligations that complicate this situation and results in the three friends understanding the prices they have paid attempting to insure one another\u2019s happiness . the film\u2019s long - delayed revelation , when the nawab finally realizes that the woman he desires is his best friend\u2019s wife , is a brilliant sequence that shifts our attention between visual perspectives ( as well as external and internal voices ) that are intricately composed through reflections in mirrors . the scene summarizes the film\u2019s catalog of visual structures as well as the moral consequences that they generate .\nif the extended misunderstandings seem implausible ( despite their grounding in a social system that isolates men and women from casual contact ) , the emotions that link the characters to one another and motivate their attempts to perform extreme sacrifices feel plausible and real . although jamila is central to the plot , the film concentrates on the obligations of male friendship (\nthis film\u2019s ostensible \u201chappy ending\u201d for a couple is outweighed by the painful cost of such joy . ( one continually senses that the three friends at the center of the film are playing out their off - screen , longtime affection as well : johnny walker\u2019s comic role is especially tempered by moments of convincing affection for his suffering friends . ) friendship forces these fellows to take action by acting : attempting to play the part of the wayward husband that will allow the wife he adores to divorce him and marry his best friend , aslam\u2019s joyless visits to a brothel make him resemble\n, a story of self - destruction that guru dutt\u2019s own life seemed to sadly replay . ) shaida , on the other hand , approaches his roles \u2013 and costume changes \u2013 with great relish , disguising himself as a elderly holy man to photograph women in the bazaar , and finally donning the uniform and self - important mannerisms of a police inspector .\nas in all guru dutt films , the song sequences are notable highlights , featuring the voices of perhaps hindi cinema\u2019s three greatest playback singers , lata mangeshkar , asha bhosle , and mohammad rafi , the latter shifting effortlessly between guru dutt\u2019s heartfelt and johnny walker\u2019s comic songs . two numbers are given special treatment by being filmed in color ( see note below ) , and guru dutt\u2019s tendency to advance his story through songs , with the rhythm of music and editing in collaboration , is as strong as ever . for example , the first major number ,\n\u2026 ( \u201cwhy do these women adjust their veils ? \u201d ) cuts between the nawab and women peering at one another while the lyrics comment upon this action ( and the tradition of purdah ) , all within a tightly organized interchange of sound and image . if this film doesn\u2019t finally achieve the overall impact of an earlier masterpiece like\n, the technical skills that made guru dutt one of the masters of hindi cinema\u2019s golden age , and unsurpassed in the art of song picturization , are still on display in this penultimate work .\nthe sequence is simple enough : the film\u2019s producer , guru dutt , plays aslam , alone with his new bride jameela , played by waheeda rehman .\nit doesn\u2019t matter if you don\u2019t know urdu or hindi ( although it won\u2019t hurt to understand the lyrics ) . it doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019ve never heard of the great rafi or the others . if you watch and listen to the song - sequence , with the silent reverence it deserves , it will charm .\n\u2018kabhi kabhi mere dil mein\u2019 , for instance , sounds heavenly through speakers . the trinitarian theory works splendidly . on screen ? it\u2019s less than perfect . it demanded a classical romance \u2018period\u2019 scene - setting and didn\u2019t get one . it demanded classical - romantic actors and didn\u2019t get any .\nbut most importantly , the central character of the sequence is waheeda . this is where it leaves other \u2018very good\u2019 or \u2018great\u2019 classical romance song - sequences behind .\ndutt knew . all he had to do was point the camera \u2013 waheeda shone regardless . she shone in spite of anything or anyone in the frame . especially with little or no make - up or ornaments on .\nthere would be no full moon , no dazzling sun , no jameela , without waheeda .\nopening shot : a full - screen glimpse of a sleeping waheeda . moonlight and shadow tease each other \u2013 and us .\nnext , we see guru dutt . he\u2019s speechless at first . no music , no words , nothing to aid him . helpless , he sighs . then aid comes as a wave \u2013 in music and words . and he pays tribute in the purest tareef tradition .\nthe camera creeps like a moonbeam toward waheeda , stealthily , anxious that any sound beyond the song itself , might rudely wake her .\nat first her face is turned ever so slightly upward , away . then , still asleep she turns gently , slowly toward us .\nthat\u2019s when dutt musters enough strength to sing as the camera alternates between worshipper and worshipped .\nthen : jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam , la - jawaab ho [ whatever you are\u2026 . ]\nin the classical tradition khuda ki kasam ( \u2018by god\u2019 or \u2018i swear by god\u2019 ) is used exceptionally . among conservative communities , almost never , because whatever follows isn\u2019t just accurate or fact but the highest truth . anyone using such a prefix in vain invites the highest punishment . so , it\u2019s no small thing when dutt uses it with the utter confidence that he\u2019s right , indisputably right . as it happens , those are the moments in the sequence when he shuts his eyes , almost as if closing them to anything but the truth , almost as if the angelic perfection he sees is beyond bearing .\ndutt\u2019s closed eyes in the song - sequence ask conflicting questions that the film doesn\u2019t . he asks : isn\u2019t it madness to leave such blinding grace unveiled , unprotected ? aren\u2019t even the most precious flowers guarded by branch or thorn ? but then again , he asks : isn\u2019t it madness for such beauty to be hidden at all ?\nthe word la - jawaab doesn\u2019t have a precise translation . not one that does justice anyway . but roughly it means : that which doesn\u2019t have a suitable reply or that which is matchless , incomparable .\nrightly , waheeda offers no comfort , no reassurance , no answer . unlike some other song - sequences , where the object of worship starts questioning or answering the worshipper , in word or song or both , she remains wordless throughout .\nif you\u2019ve only \u2018listened\u2019 to the song before , i don\u2019t blame you . but you wouldn\u2019t just \u2018listen\u2019 to the full moon , would you ?\none video - link of the song - sequence on youtube offers a modest english translation . purists will naturally shrink in horror ; they\u2019re right . no translation , no matter how scholarly , comes close to the original lyrics . still , it\u2019s manna to the uninitiated who don\u2019t understand hindi or urdu .\nto dutt , we can only offer humble gratitude : \u2018madman\u2019 all right , but somehow genius as well . he , more than anyone else , seemed to have grasped and captured so intuitively on camera , the magnificent waheeda \u2013 repeatedly and forever .\nyou must enable javascript to view this page . this is a requirement of our licensing agreement with music gracenote .\ncan ' t find a community you love ? create your own and start something epic .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\n( 1959 ) , which at the time was such a commercial and critical disaster that it ended dutt\u2019s career as a film director . with\n, however , dutt , still in the roles of producer and lead actor , came back with a big hit that reestablished his reputation . from today\u2019s perspective , i would say that this film does not contain the searing expressionism characteristic of dutt\u2019s greatest films , like\n\u2013 it is much lighter in weight , which perhaps accounts for why it went down better with the public at the time . nevertheless , there are some virtues and interesting characteristics of\none of the interesting aspects of the film is its socially contextual subject matter . set in lucknow , in the midst of its substantial and cultured muslim sector of society , the film can be considered what in indian genre parlance is termed a \u201cmuslim social\u201d . in this case it rather deftly takes on some social matters with generally light - hearted brush strokes .\n, the south asian muslim practice of restricting women from interacting with any men apart from their own close family members . in this tradition , when women go out of their homes , they must wear burqas and face veils that keep them completely covered from view . of course in such circumstances , young men are often interested in getting glimpses of women\u2019s faces behind those veils , but they often wind up with very limited information . this problem lies as the heart of\n, dutt had much of his production partners again . this included cinematographer v . k . murthy and screenwriter abrar alvi . partly in consideration of the \u201cmuslim social\u201d subject matter , dutt recruited veteran mohammed sadiq to direct the film , although dutt presumably had a strong influence in the film\u2019s direction , as well .\nand , again , dutt\u2019s cast included two of his favorites , waheeda rehman and johnny walker ( badruddin jamaluddin kazi ) . whether just from built - up experience or for some other reasons , i think their performances in this film were more natural and narratively engaged than in dutt\u2019s earlier films .\nof particular note is the film\u2019s music . although dutt ' s usual musical composer s . d . burman had disconnected from dutt after\n, dutt hooked up with another outstanding composer in ravi ( ravi shankar sharma , not the famous sitar player ravi shankar ) . to convey the sufi - oriented\nmusic associated with lucknow , dutt used urdu poet and lyricist shakeel badayuni . together with the playback singers ( mohammad rafi , lata mangeshkar , geeta dutt , and asha bhosle ) , they produced music that greatly enhanced the story and fit perfectly with it . in particular , i found the lyp - syncing to be outstanding \u2013 the best i have seen ( and heard ) in connection with indian playback songs .\nobscures and entangles two men friends who fall in love with the same woman . these things happen all the time in many contexts , and i find them invariably excruciatingly painful , because there is no possibility of a mutually satisfying resolution . such anguish was only intensified in the honor - bound circumstances of upper - level lucknow society .\nmale ( or manly ) bonding ( mb ) and loyalty among close male friends . this is regarded in some quarters as a special virtue that defines a man\u2019s character and sense of self . in this context women are viewed not as soul mates but as possessions that can even by traded in order to cement male bonding .\nselfless love ( sl ) . this is the dissolution of self and the immersion in the beloved .\nat various points in the film , mb and sl are shown in high relief . with these elements in the background , the story progresses through six phases .\npyare mohan ( played by rehman ) is a wealthy young aristocrat and generally referred to with the honorific \u201cnawab\u201d ( i will use that reference in the following ) .\nshaida ( johnny walker ) is the wayward son of a prominent police inspector . as usual with johnny walker roles , this outrageously effeminate character\u2019s presence is primarily for comic relief .\naslam ( guru dutt ) is a young businessman whose parents have passed away . he was financially rescued by the nawab and almost adopted into his privileged family .\nthey are so closely tied by male bonding ( mb ) that shaida at one point in the story refers to the three of them as one life in three bodies .\nearly on , shaida and the nawab are at a bazaar / fair , where women in attendance are completely covered in their burqas . by chance , however , the nawab catches a brief glimpse of a momentarily uncovered young woman , jamila ( waheeda rehman ) and becomes instantly infatuated . later at an all - woman birthday party at the nawab\u2019s house for his sister , he spies on the young ladies from an adjacent room and notices with delight that his new beloved is in attendance .\nat the party the girls sing an engaging and meaningful song about how hejab - clad women are perpetually readjusting their veils , while interested men stealthily look on and yearn for more .\n\u201ctell those in love not to provoke moon - faced beauties . . . . tell them to keep away from beautiful women . should they be pleased , they will give you love . . . should they be cross , there could be carnage . \u201c\nan underlying theme to the song is that were it not for those onlookers , beauty itself would have no meaning .\nthe nawab\u2019s friends ( under mb pressure to help ) , as well as one of his maids , seek to find the identity of the girl he loves , but the first of a series of misidentifications in the film takes place . since noone but the nawab has caught a glimpse of her , the only evidence they have is a torn piece from the girl\u2019s veil that the nawab had picked up . the wrong girl is identified , and because of purdah , the nawab\u2019s only option is to send his emissaries ( aslam and shaida ) to the family to issue a marriage proposal .\nup to this point the film has basically been a light - hearted farce . but now things get complicated . the nawab\u2019s mother has arranged for him to get married to a young woman that neither she nor the nawab has seen . but , of course , the nawab wants to marry the woman he saw in the bazaar , so he wants to get out of this arrangement . so he exerts his male - bonding ( mb ) pressure on aslam to marry this yet - unseen girl that his mother has arranged for him . the viewer is probably not surprised that this woman turn out to be jamila , the very girl that the nawab pines for .\nat the wedding of aslam and jamila , the bride is completely covered , so one , including the nawab , can identify as the girl the nawab wants . aslam is delighted with his bride , whom he only sees face - to - face after the ceremony . there is a memorable performance of the title song when the newly married couple are finnaly alone in the bedroom , and this is the highlight of the film . meanwhile the nawab learns that the girl aslam and shaida had earlier identified for him is the wrong one .\nnow there are more shenanigans in attempts to locate the right girl for the nawab ( even though we know that the one he wants is at home with aslam ) . shaida dresses up as a bearded beggar and goes to the bazaar to find the woman , but again a mistake is made . this time they wind up thinking that aslam\u2019s sister is the girl the nawab wants .\nmeanwhile we see that the naughty shaida is in love with a nautch girl , tameezan ( minoo mumtaz ) who sings , dances , and gives favors for a price .\nthe nawab is now convinced that aslam\u2019s sister is the one he is after . he goes to their house to deliver some ceremonial gifts , and by chance , sees jamila . there is a shock of recognition on the nawab\u2019s part and further confusing events , but eventually it dawns on aslam that his new wife , whom he now loves passionately , is the girl that the nawab has been seeking . he confirms this by showing a picture of his wife ( and not telling who it is ) to the nawab , who immediately grabs it and , to aslam\u2019s horror , kisses it passionately . aslam rushes out of the house and sings a song of despair , moaning\naslam is now faced with a horrible ( and for me , incredible ) dilemma . he loves and is devoted to his wife , but he feels his loyalties to the nawab require that he give his wife to the nawab . this is mb at its extreme .\nthe only solution aslam can come up with is to feign being an unfaithful and derelict husband by going to brothels . this will force his wife to divorce him , and make her available to the nawab . naturally , when aslam goes to a brothel , it turns out , by chance , to be tameezan\u2019s quarters . although aslam is only faking it and is not actually doing anything with tameezan , everyone else is fooled . when shaida learns of aslam\u2019s activities , he is disturbed , but then his mb instincts take hold , and he says ,\nif he likes tameezan , she ' s his . i think if a friend can ' t make this little sacrifice , he ' s no good .\namong these men , women are little more than prized possessions . meanwhile jamila\u2019s brothers , having heard of aslam\u2019s supposedly dissolute ways , threaten to kill him in order to uphold family \u201chonor\u201d . when jamila learns of their plans , she confronts them with almost an ode to selfless love ( sl ) :\n\u201cif he comes home late at night , i\u2019ll wait all night for him . . . . then i\u2019ll feed him like a slave . . . . press his legs till he sleeps . that\u2019s how i\u2019ll attain heaven . . . . \u201c\n\u201ci\u2019m his servant , not his wife . . . i can lay down my life for one smile from him . \u201c\nthe film\u2019s final section is highly melodramatic . aslam feels that if all else fails , his mb duty requires him to commit suicide . and eventually the nawab learns , just before his wedding is to take place ( to aslam\u2019s sister ) , that aslam\u2019s wife is the woman he wants . to heighten the dramatic tension , the presentation moves into parallel action , with scene switches back and forth between the preparations for the wedding ceremony and anguished activities elsewhere .\ni\u2019ll leave it to you to watch the film and see how it all ends up .\n\u2019s plot , there are a number of things i like about the film . in particular , i liked how the film took on the problematic nature of the purdah practice and demonstrated how keeping the visibility of women hidden from their potential fiances is a fully dysfunctional practice , even when everyone is trying to play the game according to its crazy rules .\nanother appealing aspect was the music , which complemented the story . there were several songs \u2013 all sung with playback singers , but realistically presented \u2013 that i particularly liked :\nthe party song ( mentioned above ) about why and how women wear veils .\nthe song at aslam\u2019s wedding featuring johnny walker\u2019s ( shaida\u2019s ) extravagant dancing and horn - tooting .\ntwo songs at separate points in the film by the nautch girl , tameezan .\njamila\u2019s sad song when aslam starts coming home late \u2013 \u201cmy master seems to have changed\u201d .\nthe titular \u201cfull moon\u201d song , which was the best of all of them [ 1 ] .\nin addition some of the performances were memorable . guru dutt and johnny walker present engaging characters who are good - hearted and well - intentioned , despite being hamstrung by social conventions of male - bonding ."]}

twists and mood - swings originally employed by waugh . more significantly , each echoes earlier reviews of waugh\u2019s novel , suggesting that vile bodies itself may continue to pose problems for literary criticism and popular consumption alike . by revisiting waugh\u2019s novel , i hope to show that alleged inconsistencies in its tone and structure are in fact part of a coherent and largely successful aesthetic plan . the complaints levelled at both vile bodies and fry\u2019s bright young things rest on inaccurate assumptions about what type of story waugh was writing . if we look to the novel for a simple romantic comedy or an acerbic social satire , we shall be disappointed . if we recognise it as a parody of conventional romance , however , the more puzzling elements of the book begin to make sense .\nthe ' planet hulk ' story is being incorporated into the film , with thor and hulk forced to fight for the entertainment of the masses on sakaar . although it looks like hulk might be happier in his role than his fellow avenger is .\nit ' s still , however , a very long way off the film frequently cited for longest title :\nnight of the day of the dawn of the son of the bride of the return of the revenge of the terror of the attack of the evil , mutant , alien , flesh eating , hellbound , zombified living dead part 2 : in shocking 2 -

[ 31 ] broadly , romantic comedy \u201cis concerned with a love affair that involves a beautiful and idealised heroine\u2026 the course of this love does not run smooth , but overcomes all difficulties to end in a happy union . \u201d after a series of ordeals , \u201cenemies [ are ] reconciled , and true lovers united\u201d in a \u201cfestive conclusion , \u201d usually culminating in a \u201csocial ritual\u201d such as a marriage , dance or feast . [ 32 ] the details of this convention will be discussed in a moment . for now , it is sufficient to note that the plot of vile bodies has much in common with this outline of romantic comedy . it tells the story of a young couple\u2019s attempts to marry and of the various obstacles thrown in their way . they lack money and must appeal to the heroine\u2019s father for aid . a rival appears , richer and more aristocratic than the hero . the tone throughout is superficially light , apparently meeting m . h . abrams\u2019s demand that comedy \u201cengage our delighted attention rather than our profound concern . \u201d [ 33 ] in fact , subtle deviations from convention warn us that this is parody and that adam and nina cannot expect a conventional festive ending .\nfile - this file photo released by twentieth century fox shows michael keaton , left , as riggan in a scene from the film ,\nbirdman , or ( the unexpected virtue of ignorance\ndirected by alejandro gonzalez inarritu . ( ap photo / copyright twentieth century fox , atsushi nishijima , file ) ( the associated press )\nlikewise , robert murray - davis offers a useful account of waugh\u2019s place in modern fiction but overlooks his ironic use of literary conventions . in the 1920s , davis argues , many novelists \u201cshifted their focus to society , using character in order to illustrate its effects . \u201d rather than describing the internal development of psychologically complex characters , they focused on how relatively simple characters functioned as parts of a larger social machine . [ 96 ] all this accords with waugh\u2019s own statements about psychology and characterisation . in distinguishing the \u2018externalist novel\u2019 from the \u2018novel of ideas , \u2019 however , davis overlooks the possible link between waugh\u2019s \u2018externalist\u2019 technique and the much older conventions of romantic comedy .\ncontent in the form of videos is swiftly catching up with brands . touted as one of the most important tools to enhance a brand ' s image , loyalty , awareness and profits , videos can convey . . .\nyou laugh half as much as the packed cinema the night i saw it , you ' ll be in for a treat .\na media professional , and the secretary of the advertising club , hyderabad . with over 8 years of experience in advertising , she heads the marketing division . apart from being trained in social media management , her expertise is in marketing , consumer insights and media planning .\nthor ' s flatmate darryl ( daley pearson ) won ' t be back either . sorry .\nto amuse themselves at a weekly dinner , a few well - heeled folk each bring a dimwit along who is to talk about his pastime . each member seeks to introduce a champion dumbbell . pierre , an . . . see full summary \u00bb\nadam had a glass of champagne , hoping it would make him feel a little better . it made him feel much worse\u2026\na half - built avengers quinjet has been spotted on the thor : ragnarok set , which indicates that one or more of thor and hulk ' s other teammates could put in an appearance , as the pair are probably the least likely to be found flying around in the jet on their own .\nin identifying parody in vile bodies i have argued , firstly , that the novel is not as determinedly modern as some critics have assumed and , secondly , that the modern devices it employs are not as gratuitous as waugh\u2019s own remarks suggest . although the influence of the cinema , firbank , t . s . eliot and others is discernable , the novel also reworks age - old narrative conventions to serious effect . conventional and experimental devices work together to create a parody of romantic comedy in which a conventional comic ending is impossible .\nthe narrator dismisses this lapse as a symptom of a hangover . \u201ceveryone , \u201d he explains , \u201cis liable to this ninetyish feeling early in the morning after a party . \u201d [ 79 ] out of context , adam\u2019s daydream does recall the fatigued sophistication of one of oscar wilde\u2019s more \u2018ninetyish\u2019 characters . his horror of over - stimulation recalls vivian from \u201cthe decay of lying , \u201d whose club \u201cthe tired hedonists\u201d excludes anyone \u201ctoo fond of the simple pleasures\u201d and demands that its members be \u201ca good deal bored with each other . \u201d [ 80 ] the passage , however , is one of a series of references to flight and transcendence . mrs ape travels with a troupe of performing angels , named for a hodge - podge of virtues and costumed in gauze wings . [ 81 ] the bright young things describe anything pleasurable as \u201cdivine\u201d : [ 82 ] nina in particular uses a vocabulary of flight and divinity , calling adam , ginger and her father her \u201cangels . \u201d [ 83 ] strangest of all is mr outrage , who has a moment something like adam\u2019s when he fails to seduce the wife of a japanese diplomat :\na father - to - be and his very pregnant wife are invited for dinner by his sister and his brother - in - law . the setting is an upper - middle - class apartment in paris . when the expecting parents reveal they intend to name their son\nadolphe\n, everyone else at the dinner is speechless . the situation eventually gets out of hand , when no one can come to an understanding , and everyone starts unearthing old rivalries and unspoken issues .\nto some degree , this is because they are similar characters in different literary genres . decline and fall borrowed its structure and motifs from the bildungsroman . in this setting , the hero\u2019s lack of depth or personality made him incapable of achieving the bildungsroman ideal . in vile bodies , adam\u2019s ordinariness makes him particularly well - adapted to the comic hero\u2019s task . the novel borrows its conventions not from the \u2018novel of education\u2019 but from comic romance , and it is therefore entirely proper that adam should learn little from his various setbacks . his aim is not spiritual maturity , but marriage to nina . in a genre whose subject is the relationship between characters rather than the internal development of a single expansive personality , the hero has no need for a complex inner life . to succeed as a comic hero , the protagonist need not be a particularly complicated person ; he need only be \u201cordinary in his virtues , \u201d frye observes , \u201cbut socially attractive . \u201d [ 36 ]"]}

\u201d and \u201choly crap ! \u201d , all of my own making .\nroar , finished in 1981 , was the pet project of noel marshall . he was a producer on the exorcist and used his own , demon - bred money to finance this film that nearly killed him and his whole family . that family consisted of his wife tippi hedren , his two sons and hedren\u2019s daughter melanie griffith . the basic plot is that marshall is working in as a zoologist in africa . ( and maybe he\u2019s a doctor , too ? there\u2019s a shot of him in a white coat among masai villagers . for a movie that took over 10 years to make , it is a tad incoherent . )\nbut , league says , \u201cthe passage of time affords us the perspective to view \u2018roar\u2019 for what it truly is : the most epic and amazing animal thriller ever made . \u201d\nthus was the genesis of roar , a film that would follow a fictional scientist\u2019s work with lion , tiger and jaguar cubs , and dramatize the issue of how wild animals were being rapidly decimated by hunters , settlers and poachers\u2014and how they don\u2019t exactly make great housepets either , especially when you\u2019ve got a whole mob of them hanging around . more than anything else , perhaps , it was the first film to capture the true personalities of these creatures .\nlike so many terrible pictures ,\nroar\nwas a passion project\u2014in this case , for animal conservationists marshall and hedren . but what separates it from the bad movie herd is that the excruciating , obviously painful experience of making the film is evident in every single frame . ultimately , the movie we get from\nroar\nisn ' t the crappy safari adventure it promises\u2014it ' s the inadvertent documentary about a guy who tortures his family as they try to make a high budget home movie .\nthe film billed , as the most dangerous ever made is making a return to the big screen nearly 35 years after its original release .\nas perhaps the most disaster -

induced racing pulses of the cast and crew . in its best moments , it looks like a low rent nature documentary , and at its worst , looks like a half - assed experiment gone horribly awry .\ncritics savaged the film . the big cats retired . hedren and marshall divorced . turns out those shots of lions tearing apart a house were metaphorical .\nthe film\u2019s cinematographer , jan de bont \u2013 who later went on to direct die hard \u2013 required 220 stitches after he was scalped by a lion .\n' gilbert taylor , the critical reception to the film , and that there were indeed talks of a potential sequel that obviously never came to pass .\nin 2007 a dvd of the animals film was released with a new director ' s cut ( running time 120 minutes ) , via beyond the frame . in 2008 the british film institute released a remastered dvd in the uk , incorporating both the original uncensored cinema version and the director ' s cut .\nis more intriguing than the film itself : kinski and reed repeatedly almost coming to blows , with the latter barking for weeks on end about his co -

hour version of the film shorn of seven minutes of its concluding sequence . the original 136 minute film released in cinemas had been approved with no cuts by the british board of film censors , but the independent broadcasting authority instructed channel 4 that certain scenes in the film could ' incite crime or lead to civil disorder .

profit roar foundation which accepted donations and which became the financial support arm of hendren\u2019s animal rescue efforts and her work to educate the public about wildlife . in 1985 hedren\u2019s 72 acres officially became the shambala preserve .\ndrafthouse films has provided dangerous minds with an exclusive clip from roar . here we see john and jerry marshall doing their best to avoid the animals that seem to be lurking around every corner . the scene is a great example of the amazing shots noel marshall managed to get amidst the chaos , as well as jan de bont\u2019s top -

screen due , re - releasing it in six theaters nationwide on friday , then expanding it to about 50 cities through may . a dvd release is planned for later this summer .\nthe making of roar spanned a period of more than 10 years , including 5 years of photography . it involved the remarkable talents of a crew of more than 100 dedicated men and women as well as the participation of more than 150 untrained lions , tigers , leopards and cheetahs . add to that two elephants , twelve flamingos and eight ostriches . . . and the end product is nothing less than amazing . needless to say , a production of this sort places special demands on both cast and crew . use the links on this page to learn about this incredible film and about the amazing people who made roar possible . learn about the extraordinary talents of actress tippi hedren , melanie griffith and about award - winning cinematographer jan de bont , whose career in the united states began right here , on the set of roar . no animals were hurt during the filming , but over 70 people were injured , including all cast members except mativo . not the animals fault , but the fault of the project . we\u2019ve now learned that these are wild animals . if you do what the family did in the film , it\u2019s not \u201cif\u201d you\u2019ll get bitten , it\u2019s \u201cwhen\u201d !\nroar was the brainchild of john\u2019s father , an agent - turned - film producer named noel marshall , and his stepmother tippi hedren , star of alfred hitchcock\u2019s the birds . in 1969 , the couple traveled to zimbabwe , where hedren was shooting the thriller satan\u2019s harvest . at one point , the pair visited a game preserve in mozambique and saw an old building which a pride of lions had made its home . they came up with an idea for a film about a scientist living in harmony with big cats , his attempts to protect them from hunters , and the hijinks which ensue when his family arrives at his lion - filled house when he\u2019s away .\nroar now has a cult reputation for the number of cast and crew injured during filming . the tagline for the us re - release was :\nno animals were harmed in the making of this movie . 70 members of the cast and crew were .\nhow in the hell did marshall think this was a good idea ? well , he and hedren had actually turned their home into a shelter for big cats \u2013 and living with them \u2013 for years . ( the preserve still exists , and hedren still runs it . marshall passed away in 2010 , but he and hedren divorced one year after roar was finally completed . neither she nor griffith is doing any promotion for this re - release of the film . )\nduring production , director / star noel marshall was attacked and severely injured by one of the lions in the film . he was hospitalized and it took him several years to completely recover from his injuries .\naudio commentary with john marshall and tim league . marshall has a lot of interesting anecdotes about the shoot , and league keeps the conversation focused on various aspects of the film ' s troubled production history .\nthough mostly known today for its production injuries ( as many as 70 members , including hedren and griffith , were harmed while making the film ) ,\nroar\nstarred marshall ( who also directed ) as a wildlife preservationist living in africa . when his family ( hedren and griffith ) pays him a surprise visit , they discover it ' s the worst possible timing as two male lions start to fight over dominance , whipping up a ferocious frenzy among the animal life .\nin other words the terrified cast were acting with a little more method than they were used to . when roar was eventually released it was marketed as a \u201cferocious comedy\u201d but watching it today it\u2019s pretty clear marshall was aspiring for more than that . sitting through it is an uncomfortable experience and the presence of the cats gives the film an unpredictable menace . you\u2019re never sure when or if the animals are going to turn and the actors feels less like characters than human scratching posts ."]}

violence as a realistic alternative to brute force .\nmr . steve york ( director , a force more powerful ) : it ' s their skills , their ingenuity , it ' s their ability to make the right decisions that determines how that conflict is going to turn out , who ' s going to win , on what terms . troeh : players choose from ten different situations for conflict , from ousting a brutal regime to fighting for civil right in a democracy . a major limit of the game though is that it can ' t be used by many people in real - life conflicts . users have to have a computer , and the game requires a lot of reading . for activists trying to organize poor or uneducated people , those are major obstacles . zoteil berbera ( ph ) is a social justice activist in new orleans .\nin addition , there is the resistopedia ( with a tip of the hat to civilization ) , which players can use to learn more about the elements and concepts that are included in the game .\nmeans and ends - the eternal debate - can the ends ever justify the means . . . well perhaps the ideology can justify the means which leads to the ends of the ideology , but without peaceful means , long lasting peace will never result . non - violence leads to non - violence as violence is undermined by a moral ' force more powerful ' . a very intelligent , structured thesis that only lacks in the fact that it could look outside the 20th century to create a wider paradigm . the inclusion of wider political theories and translation of the concept into other social scenarios , such as the work place ( focussing on democratic work processes ) , the home ( empowering the home - bound parent and children ) and the micro - society ( daily interactions and their relation to the greater ' social contract ' ) would have made this more complete ( and better value for money ) . a very good read all the same !\nviolence is a way of life for most americans , yea , most human beings . i speak not of the typical depiction of physical violence , but rather of the far more insidious violence we all are familiar with : the presence of malice in one ' s actions .\na force more powerful\ndeals with the issue of violence and nonviolence in a much more macro fashion , relaying the stories of entire societies as they pushed toward social change via nonviolent means . gandhi ' s salt march among many others was just one of the major steps to freeing india from british colonial rule . the series of civil disobedience and noncooperation enacted by both black and white students in nashville got things done . jim crowism was no longer legal as a result . the overall message of this video is empowering and demonstrates that guns and bombs are not necessary for revolutions to occur . we need only to unite in one voice and show the world that we will not stand for injustice . nonviolence seeks not to harm , but to change minds and move hearts . a must see along with\nlong night ' s journey into day\nand\ndhamma brothers .\nbut that is only the first impression . very quickly , with a bit of orientation into the game ' s reality , it becomes clear that this is really far closer to what people in a ( generally ) under -

ins at segregated lunch counters , in poland for the shipyard strike at gdansk and the birth of solidarity , in south africa for the start of an economic boycott that spread to every western nation , and in chile for the\nno\ncampaign against pinochet , it bears witness to the tactics and triumph of nonviolent resistance that was anything but passive .\nthis is neither a review nor a complete look at the product , but a first impression , and , as such , i will not attempt to provide every detail of the game , but suffice it to say , i think this game looks intriguing and\u2026 yes\u2026 fun to play . fun in the sense that it provides real gaming challenges while dealing with difficult and even more challenging real -

range goals , rewards , feedback and experimentation , to name a few \u2013 were all present . while many so - called \u201cserious\u201d games may be relegated to a small and focused audience , i think afmp could merit the attention of any gamer who likes to think , be challenged and immerse him or herself into a rich world of intrigue with significant stakes . the fact that the game models important real -

smacking body count . it proposes courage and endurance , love and ingenuity , comradeship and suppleness . if danish schoolboys could unbalance the nazi killing machine , if the women of manila could embarrass the tanks of ferdinand marcos with a bouquet of yellow flowers , what might any of us be capable of ? i am reminded of a visit to prague in the summer of 1990 , where we tried to imagine in wenceslas square that multitude whose jangling of keys had sounded to the peripatetic historian timothy garton ash like\nmassed chinese bells .\nwhere we ventured from kafka ' s castle and the jewish cemetery and the old town cuckoo clock to the very birthplace of the velvet revolution .\nicnc runs a number of grant -

that - be would be adverse to this subversive idea , since it would in effect , instruct people on how to take control of their own lives out of the hands of malfeasant , greedy politicians and instead empower democracy through democracy , rather than the current american vogue of democracy at the point of a gun . the book describes several of the well - known non - violent movements as well as lesser known ones , such as the german women who embarrassed the nazis into returning their arrested jewish husbands from certain death . the associated documentary is also outstanding . a must - have for anyone who hopes the world can save itself from itself ( and i ' m not sure i ' m in that category . )\nincredibly well put together , thorough , and important . it drew parallels cleverly but not pedantically between the movements and had accurate and well -

violent action .\npeace education is now well recognized within international legal instruments and within critical educational literature as an important aspect of education . despite this , little attention has been given in the critical literature to the philosophical foundations for peace education and the rationale for peace education thus remains substantially an assumed one . this investigation explores some possible ethico - philosophical foundations for peace education , through an examination of five specific ethical traditions : 1 ) virtue ethics , whereby peace may be interpreted as a virtue , and / or virtue is interpreted as peacefulness , and peace education as education in that virtue ; 2 ) consequentialist ethics , whereby peace education may be interpreted as education regarding the consequences of our action and inaction , both as individuals and collectivities ; 3 ) conservative political ethics , whereby peace education may be interpreted as emphasizing the importance of the evolution of social institutions and the importance of ordered and lawful social change ; 4 ) aesthetic ethics , whereby peace may be interpreted as something beautiful and valuable in itself , and peace education as emphasizing the importance of that beauty and value ; and 5 ) the ethics of care , whereby care may be interpreted as a core element in peace , and peace education as encouraging trust and engagement with the other . the study addresses major contributions to each of these ethical traditions , the strengths and weaknesses of the tradition , and the ways in which the tradition provides support for peace education . it is argued in the thesis that each tradition provides only a partial basis for peace education , and that ultimately a holistic and integrative understanding is required , one that encourages a culture of peace .\n. . . an important addition to the emerging literature on peace education and the culture of peace\n( from the foreword by koichiro matsuura , director -

violent tactics , things like strikes , boycotts , protests . but also , since i lived under milosevic in serbia and witnessed four wars , i witnessed economic sanctions , hyper - inflation , that helped me a lot to design various regime tactics , assassinations , kidnapping , arrests , torture .\nnor have these three hours exhausted the rich subject . in a companion volume with the same name , by peter ackerman and jack duvall ( st . martin ' s press ) , we spend time in burma , el salvador , mongolia , argentina , and the philippines . we meet leo tolstoy and coraz\u00f3n aquino and aung san suu kyi . we hear about the women of india , who boiled the water for the salt , who shamed buyers of confiscated goods , who were beaten by police , and who went to jail in the tens of thousands . we revisit those dutch doctors who refused , during the nazi occupation , to screen for race and genetic defects . we recall the nonviolent aspects of the palestinian intifada , a\nwhite revolution\nof theater , poetry , and flags , of cigarette boycotts , tax refusals , and job actions . we remember yellow flowers , nappies worn as symbolic scarves , open palms and hidden cows and whistles instead of guns .\nas for actual gameplay \u2013 the game includes information about specific individuals \u2013 leaders of the movement and other important figures \u2013 and each significant faction . for individuals , there are a number of associated characteristics , such as the \u201cviolence unwillingness\u201d , public influence , ambition , and will . for factions , there is information about their support of the various important elements of the struggle \u2013 for instance , do they have strong , weak or neutral support for the current regime ? for the workers ? for insurgency ? etc .\nbesides embarrassing the british , gandhi decolonized the indian mind . besides refusing to build german ships , feed the german army , or honor nazi racial laws , the danish resistance saved not only the lives of many jewish citizens but also the nation ' s dignity . besides desegregating nashville ' s downtown shopping center and changing the minds of its mayor and newspaper editor , students at fisk university and local black churches inspired a civil - rights movement that swept across america . solidarity , which simply insisted on the right to strike and never fired a single shot , planted the seeds for that velvet revolutionizing of police states all over eastern europe . mandela may have prolonged his long ordeal in prison by declining to renounce violence , but his release only became possible - - much less his presidency even imaginable - - after an economic boycott strangled the apartheid state . chile was delivered from pinochet ' s dictatorship not by left - wing guerrillas but by unions and the mothers of the disappeared , by non - shopping days and monthly candlelit protests , by street festivals and songfests and slick television commercials before the 1988 plebiscite .\nthis nationally - acclaimed book shows how popular movements used nonviolent action to overthrow dictators , obstruct military invaders and secure human rights in country after country , over the past century . peter ackerman and jack duvall depict how nonviolent sanctions - - such as protests , strikes and boycotts - - separate brutal regimes from their means of control . they tell inside stories - - how danes outmaneuvered the nazis , solidarity defeated polish communism , and mass action removed a chilean dictator -

telling of the first film , to the point that morgana has two manta ray cohorts very similar to flotsam and jetsam , desires the trident and revenge against triton , and is even voiced by pat carroll .\nyesterday , in a union square office building , the artist\u2014dressed in cargo shorts , a madras button -

office\n. bbc movie critic neil smith gave the film three out of five stars but criticized the\nunsubtle turns\nfrom both bill nighy and stephen fry . likewise , reviews of alex pettyfer ' s performance were generally negative , several critics calling his performance ' bland ' , ' lacklustre ' and many feeling he delivers his lines poorly . there were many complaints that he was cast simply because of his ' pretty boy ' looks and his parents ' rich , influential connections .\nthe dvd collector ' s package -

speaking domestic worker who has guiltily left her son behind in her native philippines . as this distaff trio separately wends their way through israel\u2019s most cosmopolitan city , they struggle with issues of communication , affection and destiny\u2014but at times find uneasy refuge in its tranquil seas .\nseveral attractions based on the little mermaid have been released . mermaid lagoon at tokyo disneysea is a themed land made to look like the palace of king triton and features fanciful seashell - inspired architecture . it includes the meet - and - greet attraction ariel ' s grotto , as well as the parachute jump\u2013style ride jumpin ' jellyfish ( also present in disney california adventure ) . king triton ' s carousel of the sea is a carousel at disney california adventure that uses sea horses , flying fish , whales , dolphins , sea lions , otters and garibaldi . voyage of the little mermaid is a live show attraction at disney hollywood studios in florida that features puppets and live actors . other attractions based on the film include the little mermaid : ariel ' s undersea adventure , a dark ride at disney california adventure in paradise pier and the magic kingdom in fantasyland .\nthese stories have as their justification that fact that they are intrinsically interesting . i think that ' s enough .\njellyfish\nwon the camera d ' or at cannes 2007 for best first feature . given all the temptations that lure gifted first - time filmmakers with three stories to tell , each story with its own story within it , director etgar keret and his co - director and the film ' s writer , shira geffen , are commendable , since they bring it in at 78 minutes . you can easily see how it could have overstayed its welcome , especially if it ever got around to explaining that little girl , especially if she ' s who she seems to be in the dream or vision or hallucination or whatever . rather than an explanation in a case like that , i prefer the vision to appear , make its impact and leave unexplained .\ni saw this at the edinburgh film festival . the first film for this director , and i expected not to like it as the subject matter is not what i would normally see at the cinema , i was really surprised at how good it was . the story of a 15 year old girl struggling to keep her family going and the toll it took upon her personally . the acting was excellent , and the direction and editing mature and very well executed . there were a couple of scenes which really made me wince , but nothing was gratuitous and they served to emphasise the points they were making - the loss of control for someone who is still a child but forced to try and make her way in an adult world with no support . the supporting characters were well realised and added to the film as a whole . go and see it . it ' s not an ' easy ride ' but well worth persevering with . the ending , which i will not spoil , is to some extent what the viewer makes of it . see it to see what i mean !\nthe film ends with alex and sabina at their school . sabina was forced to sign the official secrets act as a result of the prior events , but alex denies that he is a spy . just before the movie ends , it shows a close up of a nearby building balcony with an mi6 member standing on it , holding a camera which is focused on alex .\nin 1987 , songwriter howard ashman became involved with the writing and development of mermaid after he was asked to contribute a song to oliver & company . he proposed changing the minor character clarence , the english - butler crab , to a jamaican rastafarian crab and shifting the music style throughout the film to reflect this . at the same time , katzenberg , clements , musker , and ashman revised the story format to make mermaid a musical with a broadway - style story structure , with the song sequences serving as the tentpoles of the film . [ 10 ] ashman and composer alan menken , both noted for their work as the writers of the successful off - broadway stage musical little shop of horrors , [ 12 ] teamed up to compose the entire song score .\nthey struggle to see beyond their limitations , but over time , they are strengthened by the power of self - acceptance and freedom of movement . sidiki is shot with a sensitive cinema v\u00e9rit\u00e9 lens with music original to sidiki and his band highlighted throughout . notably , one of the goals of the film is to raise awareness of the powerful affect dance and the arts have on the human spirit .\ndisney comics released a four -

in - chief josh tyler gave the movie two and a half stars out of five and said that ,\nmost of the problems with stormbreaker all boil down to believability\n. urltoken ' s reporter wesley morris also gave stormbreaker two stars out of five , and said that\ngeoffrey sax ' s filmmaking holds few surprises . . . but it ' s swift and competent , despite too many shots of cars on roads that bloat the running time .\njellyfish eyes tells the story of masashi , a young japanese boy mourning the recent loss of his father who moves with his mother to a small suburban town near a mysterious research center . it quickly becomes clear that everything is not as it seems . in his new house , masashi discovers a cuddly jellyfish - like creature , who quickly becomes his best friend . at school , he realizes that his classmates have similar special friends ( or f . r . i . e . n . d . s as they\u2019re called in the movie ) , but the other kids control their creatures through iphone - like devices , and like to enter them into battle royale\u2013style fights during recess . there\u2019s a complicated plot involving a set of four caped power rangers\u2013esque research overlords intent on channeling the negative energy of the children , a religious cult , deep - seated anxieties about nuclear energy , and ultimately a fight for good against a strange , godzilla - like uber - f . r . i . e . n . d . it\u2019s all a bit bloody by american children\u2019s movie standards , and the politics will be murky to a non - japanese audience , but it\u2019s undeniably kid - oriented .\ndisney ' s the little mermaid is an animated television series featuring the adventures of ariel as a mermaid prior to the events of the first film . this series is the first disney television series to be spun off from a major animated film . the little mermaid premiered in the fall of 1992 with the animated prime time special called\na whale of a tale\n, then moved to saturday mornings . this series originally appeared on cbs , with an original run from 1992 to 1994 . it was later shown in reruns on the disney channel and toon disney . some of the episodes contain musical segments , featuring original songs written for the series . the opening theme to the show is a combination of the songs\npart of your world\n,\nunder the sea\nand\nkiss the girl\n.\nanvilicious : the two\ngood\npeople focused on in the film are vegetarian and one of them has forced her great dane to be . you need serious , in - depth work with a qualified vet to even attempt that , because dogs naturally want some meat and you ' d have to carefully select the foods they get . just broccoli and tofu would not cut it and the dog would die of malnutrition .\nfifteen - year - old sarah taylor exists in the eye of the storm . the sole caretaker of her family , including precocious twin siblings and a manic - depressive mother who spends most of her time in bed , sarah runs from school to home to work each and every day . yet , despite her herculean efforts to put food on the table and keep the electricity on , she is still forced to engage with more dehumanizing ways to make a few extra bucks - so it ' s no wonder that her back is up among her peers at school . jellyfish tells the story of sarah ' s discovery of an unexpected outlet for her frustration and quick - tempered wit : stand - up comedy . first - time feature film director james gardner paints a dark and hard - edged picture of life in this grey seaside british town , and , in newcomer liv hill , he uncovers a revelatory talent . thanks to her fiercely evocative and vulnerable depiction of sarah , hill gives the audience truly remarkable insight into a young woman living a life far beyond her years .\nmany characters from the franchise appear in the disney channel series disney ' s house of mouse .

appointed pundits \u2013 myself included \u2013 have been predicting the final outcome , with results that have ranged from a utopian belief that film is finally being democratised to various versions of the end - of - the - cinema - as - we - know - it scenario . now , at last , we have what we needed : some rigorous academic thinking on the subject combined with detailed analysis of what exactly is going on in the fast -

but comes off as randomly executed , surprisingly repetitive and relatively un - inspired .\nthe products of the nollywood system , geared to make films so quickly and cheaply and in such large numbers , are fundamentally different from african celluloid films . nollywood films are made to fit the small screens on which they are normally seen . the video cameras now in use are mostly of pretty high quality , but the sound recording quality is seldom good enough to stand up to theatrical presentation . the contrast in the investment of time is more important that the technical differences or even the budgets ( african celluloid film budgets are very low by world standards , though much higher than for nollywood videos ) . normally it takes years to assemble the funding for a celluloid film , and a script is the primary tool for conjuring up the money ; the script therefore is written and rewritten , reviewed and judged for a long time , during which it is the major landmark in the life of the director , who is in many cases the writer .\na dcp is like a hard drive\u2026 before you had a print , whatever the format , but now everything is in this hard drive , and you can put your entire movie , and also other versions , versions with different subtitles , everything on a small hard drive that can be compared to an iphone , or something like that . you have to connect it to the provider in the projection booth in the cinema ; they upload all the files that are on the hard drive . and with the digital equipment , you can then project it on your screen in your theater .\nin every country on earth there are people striving to speak through movies . this is their story . learn more and buy the dvd on amazon today at urltoken\nis it possible for an artist to break ? following on -

run american \u201cb\u201d movies , supplemented from the 1960s on by bollywood productions and then , later , hong kong martial arts films . even if the cinema owners were willing or able to get out of these exclusive contracts , an african film that needed to recover its production costs could not compete on price with the films being dumped by the world\u2019s largest film industries , so there was no commercial incentive for the cinemas to show local films . this structural problem has kept the cinema distribution system closed to african films up to the present . in the wake of the structural adjustment programs of the 1980s , which devastated economies across africa , and then the advent of digital technologies , many cinema houses have closed , disappearing altogether in some places .\nwas adapted quite honourably to the screen by both pelley and mark hoffe , and so not a lot gets lost in translation . jason priestley and shawn doyle play the ( exceptionally handsome ) brothers at the core of this drama . owen is a writer who emerges from rehab to spend time with his estranged brother alex . at the centre of almost every tragedy is a woman , that\ngoogle made sure the film and the project were accessible to the widest possible audience everywhere on the planet thanks to the technology of the web . from the 12th of september 2015 , web users worldwide could watch the film for free on youtube and google play . seven youtube channels were created to distribute three 90 -

release , a revival , among their weekly program , beside new titles . i know the uk less \u2014 i haven\u2019t had experience there \u2014 but for the us , there is a cinephilia and possibility , but for sure there are less places you can go . the two main cities are new york and la , and i would say new york first . after , despite the fact that almost each important city in the us has its own arthouse theater , it means you can show from time to time more revival films ; nevertheless , in the long term there are less possibilities for showing revival titles . but there is a market , nevertheless .\nthis is it ! the marquee event of the camp , trash , filth \u2013 john waters visits regina . join us at westminster united church for an evening of pure trashy delight as we start with a cocktail hour in the pink flamingo lounge , followed by big organ recital of top 40 hits \u2013 all of which is meant to loosen you up and get you in the mood for this filthy world presentation by our guest of honour , john waters !\nhuge losses are involved in this abandonment of cultural identity , losses that are themselves the result of all the economic and political failures of postcolonial nigeria . when the younger generation imagines the good life , they import the forms . characters in these films do a good deal of coming from and going to america and europe . but the situation is not as bleak or as clear as this description suggests . an older , colonial sense of inferiority never appears : it is a multicultural world to which the characters assimilate , african - american culture rather than american culture being the standard point of reference and bridge ; signifiers of african pride and identity come frequently and naturally amidst the gucci sunglasses and suvs . the viewers are preferring to watch a nigerian film rather than an american one , after all , just as the hip hop music on the radio is predominantly by nigerian bands , in nigerian pidgin , and standup comedy ( another popular contemporary form ) is american in format but pidgin in expression . there is enormous poverty in nigeria , but also enormous wealth\u2014plenty of resources with which to construct a walled -

' ' it would have been massively profitable and successful even if it had never been released in the west , ' ' he said .\nc . k . : limited editions do spur people to investigate the release . for example , when masters of cinema did the late mizoguchi box set with the final eight films ( or almost final eight ; we didn\u2019t have musashino - fujin or shin hei - ke monogatari ) , there were 3000 units , with the 300 - page book , and it sold out quickly .\nnollywood films occasionally get screened in theaters abroad on special occasions organized by the filmmaker in conjunction with an african expatriate community , but they never get into the regular theatrical distribution system . the only nollywood film available on dvd in the united states from one of the companies that specialize in african cinema is kelani\u2019s thunderbolt , from california newsreel . there is no mechanism for a library to acquire a study collection of nollywood films . meanwhile , in a separate dimension , an enormous system exits to distribute nollywood and ghanaian films in the us : hundreds of shops , dozens of internet sites that sell or stream them , thousands of films posted to youtube by fans . most of the films moving through this system are pirated ; in some cases , the producer will sell the rights to an american distributor for a small sum , for lack of a better alternative .\nv . p . - b . : i do believe so . there\u2019s already a lot of theaters in la , but according to the fact that the city is so huge , not all the potential districts have an arthouse theater . everything is split all over la , but i do believe there could be places for more arthouse and revival theaters in some districts , because i believe you don\u2019t have the equivalent of new york\u2019s film forum in la , for example .\ndigital disruption : cinema moves on - line helps to make sense of what has happened in the short but turbulent history of on - line distribution . it provides a realistic assessment of the genuine and not - so - promising methods that have been tried to address the disruptions that moving from \u2018analogue dollars\u2019 to \u2018digital cents\u2019 has provoked in the film industry . paying close attention to how the majors have dealt with the challenges \u2013 often unsuccessfully \u2013 it focuses as much attention on innovations and practices outside the mainstream . throughout , it is alive to , and showcases , important entrepreneurial innovations such as mubi , jaman , withoutabox and imdb .\nbut the market is difficult to compare . because as i was saying previously , in france you have three to four re - releases every week , plus all the cin\u00e9math\u00e8ques , the festivals , and so on , so it\u2019s a lot .\nthe critical issue , then , is thrown back from the familiar paranoid analysis of the influence of foreigners on african film production to the question of what nigerians want to see and why . unless we simply buy into the notion of \u201cfalse consciousness , \u201d this is complicated . clearly one can find abundant evidence of the power over nollywood\u2019s imagination of the globally hegemonic american mass media imagery , even when detached from structures of command and control\u2014the situation is a nice illustration , in fact , of gramsci\u2019s distinction between hegemony and domination . but things may not be as straightforward as they seem : for instance , foreign commodities , behaviors , and accents function as trophies within deeply rooted african traditions of status assertion and in longstanding \u201cstrategies of extraversion\u201d ( bayart ) .\nc . k . : i\u2019d like to talk a bit about la : the topography of los angeles , the logistics of getting from one theater to another in terms of how spread out the city is , the flavor of the neighborhoods , etc .\nthe four newcomers who hog most of the screen time look earnest and fresh . at least a couple of them will be in the big league if they are consistent enough . basil is one of them . sanjeev has an uncanny resemblance to siddharth bharathan .\none point : as vod is more developed in the us , compared to france \u2014 even though there are a lot of things happening in france , and netflix arrived one year ago , for example , and they\u2019re announcing projects \u2014 \u201cmain vod\u201d ( which is buying or renting a movie ) is really almost nothing for arthouse movies and , more especially , revivals . it looks to me that we\u2019re more [ involved currently in vod with the aspects of ] a rental business , when the rental of movies was big , whether in france or the us , and it looks almost essentially like the same kind of movies that were being rented then as are being rented nowadays on vod . and revivals and classics , unless very specific titles , very few of them , were not working as rentals\u2026"]}

season for the chicago bears . the two start off merely joking around with each other in attempt to get on the other ' s nerves and by the end of the story , have become almost inseparable . this novel was intended for aud\noh , how melo - drama was enjoyable in the 70 ' s ! now a days , you can ' t even last a minute with a movie like that . in brian ' s song case , i lasted the whole film , enjoying moderate parts of it . also , no matter how much , i love football , i do not shed tears , only old yeller , can get that close .\nwhen the coach comes in the room to talk to brian and gayle to let gayle know he will become number one full back , the boom mic ' s shadow shows above gayle ' s head in the shot when the camera focuses on coach and gayle .\nif a reader enjoys a heartfelt story that is both inspirational and comical , then brian\u2019s song by william blinn is the perfect read . the emotional , screenplay style story is based on true events that took place within the chicago bears football organization . two rookie half backs , brian piccolo and gale sayers , compete for the same starting position . in the beginning of the story , both compete using every ounce of strength , heart , and will . by the end of training camp , gale wins the starting role , and brian is given the backup role . during a regular season game against the san francisco forty - niners , gale injures his knee and is sidelined for the remainder of the season . brian steps in as the starting half back in the absence of his now close friend gale . at the conclusion of the season , brian pushes gale to get him back into shape so the two can compete yet again for the starting role . gale again wins the position however the coach recognizes the hard work of both men and gives the full back position to brian . just when all seems to be going well , brian is diagnosed with lung cancer and shortly after loses his battle with the disease . the story is one that has both joyful as well as tearful moments , and provides inspiration to athletes everywhere . brian\u2019s song is not only one of the most inspiring stories i\u2019ve read , but it is also the most interesting in regards to sports . the main idea found within brian\u2019s song are that there will always be good days , and always be bad days , but no matter what kind of day it is or what it is one may be going through , it is better to go through it with a close friend . brian and gale depict a beautiful friendship that should inspire people to not only lift each other up , but push each other to be the best that they can be . brian and gale both overcome adversities , hardships , and injuries , and both work with each other to make each other better . i am giving this story a four out of five and i would recommend it to any athlete , especially young athletes who are looking for inspiration . brian\u2019s song with bring both tears of laughter and sadness out from within a reader , and will undoubtedly affect the lives of the readers . the reason i am not giving the story a perfect five is because of the way it is written . the story is written in a screen - play script which can make it harder to understand and follow along . in the end , i was touched and inspired and after reading the story , would highly recommend brian\u2019s song .\nbrian\u2019s song by william bin is a very good and heartfelt book . it is a story about two young football players who both play running back named gale sayers and brian piccolo . gale is black and brian is white . the book shows their relationship throughout their years playing football which includes hardships along the way . the author , william binn , has a very creative way of writing the story in a script form and also includes an intense and dramatic relationship between the main characters . in brian\u2019s song , william binn writes the story different than you expect from any other book . he writes it in a script form like it came straight off the movie . \u201cexterior - campus - type area - day - on sign\u201d ( 2 ) . this citation is just one of the many subheadings in the book as binn describes the camera angle of the movie . \u201ccloser angle - gale and cab driver\u201d ( 3 ) . this is also another example of a subheading when binn describes the camera angle of the movie . in my opinion , i am not such a big fan of the script form of writing . sometimes it can become hard to follow along and can be very confusing when reading the book . william binn also creates a dramatic relationship between the main characters brian and gale . \u201cbrian grins . gale does not . his expression is neutral . a short beat\u201d ( 5 ) . this citation is an example of the relationship between brian and gale , as you can tell , both characters are much different from each other . \u201cwish i was as sure of that as you are . tell you the truth , sayers \u2013 i envy you\u201d ( 23 ) . this is another example of brian and gale\u2019s relationship as sayers and piccolo learn to respect each other . in conclusion , the relationship between brian and gale creates great drama throughout the book brian\u2019s song included a unique script and a great conflict throughout the book with brian and gale . i would give this a book four stars and i would recommend it for sports and football readers .\nafter piccolo\u2019s death , the brian piccolo cancer research foundation was founded by his widow and several friends . now , thanks to research , more men have been diagnosed and cured of testicular cancer .\nwinner : tom t . hall -

old\u201d ( 1 ) . gale was also very fast and a great football player . but , gale still knew how to have fun by playing tricks on brian . gale was able to pull through his knee injury and be there for brian when he needed his help the most . the unique thing about the text is it is for a play or movie . \u201ccloser angle -

very brief and easy reading . they only deal with brian ' s dying at the very end , and then not in great detail . the other books on brian m\nbrian\u2019s song is a true story about a brotherhood between two football players , gale sayers and brian piccolo . their friendship grows as they face adversity and each other . they compete for the same running back position for the chicago bears . will their friendship fight through the adversity they face ? read to find out . people can be friends despite race . race doesn\u2019t decide friends it should be based on character . brian and gale find a way to get through that . many people also don\u2019t believe that gale can play in the nfl . he proves every doubter wrong as he has success in the nfl and becomes best friends with brian . they help each other work on plays and work out with each other to get better . \u201d fantastic ! three more man ! . . . can you make it , huh ? \u201d ( 66 ) this shows that brain and gale help each other get better . my favorite character is gale because he works hard , is very kind , and supports brain . gale works hard after his knee injury to come back to the nfl and he inspires to be the best he can be . gale is very kind because he offers a little girl an autograph . he is also very respectful of all the coaches and teammates . \u201d little girl i met day i came in here . \u2026 told her i\u2019d get your autograph . \u2026 be glad to . \u201d ( 93 ) this shows that gale is kind because he offers to give the little girl an autograph . i would give brian\u2019s song an 6 out of 10 because it is a good story about two best friends . i am interested in sports and this is a good book about football . it is also written a little different , so if you want something different , read brian\u2019s song . if you are interested in a short story about sports and friendship , read brian\u2019s song .\nits critical acclaim was nearly , but not quite , universal .\nas a film , brian ' s song adds little to the art of cinema or even to the profession of filmmaking ,\nwrote john j . o ' connor in the new york times .\nas a movie , it is pretty much straightforward clich\u00e9 . the basic story , however , is moving .\nthis highly -

! and i have watched some of them , for sure , all of them are fantastic , and also , in my opinion , each one have their own style of the time , but they all have a pure love , witch can touch our heart most . sometimes , love isn ' t complex , but only little people can reach that state . if you love someone , you will love all of him / her . maybe it ' s a little irony that nowadays , people always yearn that pure love , however , our practical action is on the opposite : most of us are astricted by vanity , money , position and so on . although when we calm down and realized that we maybe are wrong , but we have to cause we are in a cruel world . those warm picture in the movie become a kind of drug that heal our broken soul .\nby the end of the nineteenth century , then , film could actualize the vividly metamorphic nightmare that comes to victor right after he animates the creature .\n, a film scripted by gene wilder , who also plays friedrich frankenstein , the eponymous hero . at the end of the film , madeline kahn ' s elizabeth not only survives but also falls in love with the monster when he abducts her . lulled by her own mood music ( she sings\nah !

never gets old . i strongly disagree with twilight being on this list though . i dont believe that it comes close to classics like casa blanca and dirty dancing .\nin film theory , as in mary shelley ' s novel , the idea of artificial reproduction has sometimes excited alarm . in 1933 , arnheim wrote that films were already approaching the\ndangerous goal\nof manufacturing\nan image . . . which is astoundingly like some natural object\n( arnheim ,\nthe complete film ,\n[ selection from\nthe 1997 film is based on the true story of the sinking of the\nunsinkable\ntitanic in 1912 . a beautiful young upperclass woman , rose , falls in love with a lower - class man , jack , who clearly has more time to think about , sketch , and woo her than her self - absorbed fianc\u00e9 . after he rescues rose from a near suicide attempt , the two fall quickly and madly in love . when jack is framed for burglary , he is locked in the basement of the ship .\nwe ' re talking about the movie , not the more recent television series . 10 things i hate about you is a teen film set in seattle , washington , and starring the late heath ledger and julia stiles . loosely based on shakespeare ' s the taming of the shrew , romantics will love the tension between stiles as kat , ledger as patrick , the frustration of their personalities , and overbearing parents who just don ' t understand . the plot twists and turns as jilted love interests and double date arrangements complicate matters .\ngreat list !

looking creature will likewise be monstrous , will validate the simplest notion of what a monster is : one whose malformed body proclaims the viciousness of his or her soul .\nabove all , branagh ' s { 155 } film evokes the oedipal conflict between victor and his creature . in fighting over the reanimated body of elizabeth , they remind us that mary shelley ' s elizabeth was chosen by victor ' s dying mother to be not only his mate but her successor as mother to the frankenstein family ( see\nso without further ado , my list of the top dozen best romantic movies of all time are , and quite different from you and others , not rated from s # 1 on up . they are given equal weighting , because trying to say this movie is # 3 but this one is # 7 is just beyond subjective . agt least this way , you can simply either agree or disagree with the overall choices .\nat the same time , the passage encapsulates the greatest of all ironies in the novel , the fact that victor ' s ambition to create and renew life leads only to death . we will shortly see how branagh ' s film intensifies this irony by pursuing some of the implications of the nightmare -

moi\u201d .\nit would be impossible to discuss baise - moi without mentioning abel ferrara . baise - moi is the kind of film that ferrara would have made during the \u201970s , when times square was something more than a disney theme park . baise - moi is an audacious piece of feminist empowerment , a dogma - style experiment that mixes in russ meyer playfulness with dramatic elements from numerous popular films , from thelma & louise to natural born killers . it\u2019s polemical but completely unpretentious , unlike , say , catherine breillat\u2019s romance and leos carax\u2019s pola x . baise - moi may appeal to extremists but this feminist howl is more necessary than ever because of the conservative retrenchment we\u2019re experiencing in this country . the film is less polished than ferrara\u2019s ms . 45 but if zo\u00eb lund ever aimed her gun lower and , say , into a man\u2019s ass , baise - moi would be the result . directors coralie trinh tri and virginie despentes tell the story of a rape victim who goes on a countrywide killing spree with a female companion she randomly meets on the street . there isn\u2019t much of a plot but the attention to detail , however subconscious , is remarkable . while she\u2019s being raped , nadine ( karen lancaume ) refuses to allow her rapist to see her squirm , evoking her reactionary spirit . far more fascinating is the fact that the man stops raping her because of her act of retaliation . baise - moi has been called irresponsible when it champions self - respect and moral responsibility . save for the curious deaths of nadine\u2019s best male friend and a woman on the street , every man in the film is murdered because of his bad behavior . viciously hellbent on avenging female scars , baise - moi likens guns to female tools of empowerment , not unlike what men have between their legs . even when baise - moi is seemingly undermined by thelma & louise - style self - defeatism , the film ends on a hauntingly ironic note . evocative , cocky and downright riveting , baise - moi is exploitative \u2019til the every end . the directors strip one of their main characters of her final emotional release and suggest that a female\u2019s ownership of her body is an ongoing , elusive struggle .\nperhaps unsurprisingly , baise -

- no , not even if he sleeps with them .\nwriting this review is a leap of faith in society . baise - moi ( generally translated as \u201cfuck me\u201d ) is a controversial french film made in 2000 . i would only suggest it to those not faint of heart in the viewing extreme of obscenity and to all of my friends that understand my personality .\nbaise -

- including her very self . she teams up with nadine , a nihilist who watches pornography incessantly , and they enact their own version of les vols et les viols ( rape and pillage ) - - they lure men sexually , use them up , then rob and kill them . drawing from the spiky cadences of the sex pistols and the murderous eroticism of georges bataille or dennis cooper , baise - moi is a shocking , accomplished , and truly unforgettable novel .\nso is baise - moi a women ' s film ? since women found such mainstream movies as ridley scott ' s thelma & louise ( 1991 ) exhilarating exercises in wish - fulfilment , surely baise - moi has equal potential as fantasy fodder ? like when a guy on the street propositions nadine with the charming line ' wanna feel my balls slapping your ass ? ' only to be executed without a moment ' s hesitation by her best mate . this seems not a million miles from louise ' s trigger - happy revenge of thelma ' s near - rape or the moment when the pair blow up the lecherous truck driver ' s tanker .\nbaise - moi does have more of a structured plot than your average\nerotic\nadult movie ; it ' s certainly aiming for harsher drama . cynics will dismiss the plot as thelma and louise - the porno years . but this subtitled story of two women an enraged rape victim and a brooding prostitute hits many raw notes .\nbaise - moi was not submitted to the film censor for cinema release in ireland . instead , it was released in dublin last summer on a club basis at the irish film centre , where admission to films without a censor ' s certificate is restricted to members and their guests . all members have to be over 18 years of age .\nfinanced and sold internationally though le studio canal plus\u2019 wild bunch division , \u201cbaise - moi\u201d stars two vets of france\u2019s adult film world , raffaela anderson and karen bach . story centers on a violent rape and the after - affects on the rape victim and her friend , whose subsequent random acts of violence draw the attention of the media and the police .\nbaise - moi had its roots in a 1994 novel written by virginie despentes , who had worked in prostitution , peep shows and pornographic magazines . it was written in four weeks , or as ms despentes put it ,\nvomited in a spirit of hate\n, and she describes its principal characters as\nthelma and louise ' s wicked younger sisters\n.\nas it happens , i saw a japanese - american co - production named ' ' brother ' ' not long after seeing ' ' baise moi .

moi was published in 1993 , virginie despentes was hailed as the pioneer of a new genre of feminist literature . the boldness of the novel ' s plot , its angry depiction of female sexual pleasure and gratuitous violence , and its explicit criticism of contemporary western society have earned this ambiguous work a reputation for subversion . this article argues that the novel ' s apparent subversiveness and its popular success are the result of despentes ' s parodic reworking of the conventions of the noir thriller , and in particular of her critical revisiting of the topos of the femme fatale . reappropriating and challenging traditional canons and representations , baise - moi attacks phallocentrism through the exploration of female pleasure and the intervention of the female body . the text thus becomes highly disturbing and critical of the structures that contain women ' s autonomy . it also explores ideas that remain central to contemporary feminism with regard to women ' s sexual identity ; remaining taboos about the body ; the relationship between women and the sexual industry , and sexual oppression . helping to release women ' s bodies from existing representations and to question categories , baise - moi might indeed reclaim a voice for women .\nthe society contends that because the board in its second classification deemed the video and dvd formats of \u201cbaise - moi\u201d \u201cobjectionable\u201d under s . 3 of the act , based on certain content matter and its potential for causing injury to the \u201cpublic good\u201d if made available to adults in homes ; then in line with s . 26 of the act , any theatrical performance of the identical content should have received the same classification .\nnew york \u2014 montreal -

moi ( france , 2000 ) 9 . 30pm friday 23 august receiving intense media coverage for its graphic depiction of sex and violence , this film tells the story of two women who embark on a road trip of revenge through france . its banning in australia was met with outspoken protests against censorship , while it was cut - down or banned completely in many other countries . world movies presents an r18 + cut of this controversial film .\n2 released on 28 june 2000 and based on the novel by the same name published by despentes in 1994 , baise - moi portrays the story of manu ( raffa\u00ebla anderson ) , an occasional porn actor , and nadine ( karen bach ) , an occasional prostitute , as they separately experience traumatic events which drive them to murder . they chance upon one another and embark on a sexually charged killing spree across france until they meet their equally separate fates .\n\u201cwe talked to a number of individuals and companies about helping us to release \u2018baise - moi\u2019 in the states , \u201d said remstar exec director craig adlard , \u201cand orly\u2019s voice was consistently the most passionate and articulate about how to approach the audience for the film . she not only sees great commercial value in the controversy , but an important opportunity to spark debate about the fine lines that seem to separate art , exploitation , satire , pornography and feminism . \u201d\nbacchai proves her wrong . what despentes gives us is a work utterly dependent on literary and theatric precedent , something that bacchai confirms in its parallel action . in one respect at least , the two works mine the same literary seam : a fascination with what women are capable of when freed from constraint . we must entertain the bleak possibility , remarks philosopher bernard williams , that euripides was both feminist and misogynist . the makers of baise - moi too , i suggest .\ni disagree with the other review . i thought the film , made by virginie despentes , was horrible and tacky , she got rid of the best part of the books and added idiotic scenes . baise moi the novel has an emergency , a hatred of the world that is unique and poisonous . it quotes hole and lots of brilliant hardcore and grunge band ( while the film had an awful bad french proto punk soundtrack ) . it ' s like reading a trashy james ellroy . i very recommend it .\n' ' baise moi ' ' is ( a ) a violent and pornographic film from france about two women , one a rape victim , the other a prostitute , who prowl the countryside murdering men . or ' ' baise moi ' ' is ( b ) an attempt to subvert sexism in the movies by turning the tables and allowing the women to do more or less what men have been doing for years - - while making a direct connection between sex and guns , rather than the sublimated connection in most violent movies . i pose the question because i do not know the answer . certainly most ordinary moviegoers will despise this movie - - or would , if they went to see it , which is unlikely . it alternates between graphic , explicit sex scenes and murder scenes of brutal cruelty . you recoil from what ' s on the screen . later , you ask what the filmmakers had in mind . they are french , and so we know some kind of ideology and rationalization must lurk beneath the blood and semen .\nuripides ' s bacchai , a play about women killing men , has opened at the national theatre just as baise - moi , a film about women killing men , is being screened in a number of cinemas . it is purely coincidental that peter hall ' s production and virginie despentes and coralie trinh thi ' s movie have arrived at the same time . but through this coincidence , we are able to negotiate the confrontation of a masterwork of the western canon with a work whose authors rejoice in its anti - literary properties .\nsome of baise - moi \u2018s scenes are overlong and lack dramatic punch , a criticism that can also , of course , be leveled at life , as dogme - ites and their followers would no doubt remind us . and the film plays a risky game with the audience in alternating hardcore sex scenes with violence . it\u2019s hard not to feel voyeuristic , even complicit in what transpires onscreen . but this is undoubtedly the directors\u2019 intent , and the film\u2019s ability to foster this sense of complicity in the viewer makes it a disturbing but worthwhile ride .\nbaise - moi is a violent , sexually explicit novel containing so much rage that it is almost unbearable . i almost feel a little guilty for enjoying it so much , but i can\u2019t help myself . the novel centers around two young female characters : manu and nadine . manu is a young woman who seems detached from life . she drinks far too much , does drugs , and even makes adult films on occasion to fund her drinking and drug abuse . she puts no value in herself , her body , or anything else . after being horrifically\nthe fantasy of women who turn on that wacky institution the patriarchy is an enduring one , but inevitably later examples have mostly been coopted a la thelma and louise , which drained much of the power of the image of women out of control with its glamorous stars , plush production , and cop - out ending . virginie despentes and coralie trinh thi returns some trashy integrity to the genre with baise - moi , a hardcore french art film that was banned in , of all places , france . whether it\u2019s got more trash than integrity is up to the viewer .\navec le club de lecture du groupe francophonie , j ' ai commenc\u00e9 ce 28 / 07 / 2016 un challenge abc ( w ) avec des auteurs f\u00e9minins . 1er livre , baise moi , un livre favori de mon p\u00e8re . j ' ai vraiment d\u00e9test\u00e9 la premi\u00e8re partie , je me demandais si un jour une histoire arriverait . la deuxi\u00e8me partie est plus int\u00e9ressante : la rencontre entre manu et nadine , leurs\naventures\n. malheureusement , c ' est trop vulgaire , trop violent . je n ' ai pas vraiment appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 . la fin est \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 surprenante et \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 attendue\nwith two ex - porn actresses as the leads and unsimulated sex scenes , despentes and trinh thi aimed to make baise - moi real and visceral . shot on dv , with no additional lighting and a tiny budget , the film ( just like the source novel ) was inspired by french punk music ( seven hate , virago and x syndicate feature on the soundtrack ) . these low - production values mean that , aside from a couple of red - tinged scenes , it looks dismally ugly \u2013 but if it had looked prettier , it may well have been a more objectionable film .\nin his reserved decision on the society\u2019s appeal to the high court , dated 23 july 2002 ( ap76 / 02 ) , the hon justice hammond referred the matter back to the board for reconsideration after he determined that its classification decision contained a legal error \u201cin failing to have regard to the impact of the various medium of formats in which this film might be presented\u201d ( including video , dvd and television ) . he also ruled that the board may need to consider imposing conditions under s27 ( 5 ) on the display of baise - moi and would need to do so in other mediums .\ni first read baise - moi (\nrape me\nin a title is rejected by virginie despentes , and most translators translate it as\nfuck me\nor\nlay me down\n) when i was fairly young , maybe somewhere around 14 , which really made me miss the deeper meaning of this work . it did not take long for me to see the film version ( directed by virginie despentes and coralie trinh thi ) too , and i must say i still prefer it over the book mainly due to it being able to capture the violence and accelerating , but somehow emp\n\u201cbaise - moi\u201d ( literally translated \u201cf # # k me\u201d ) was submitted in video format for classification on 20 march 2001 by the secretary of internal affairs , as directed by the chief censor , under s13 ( 1 ) ( b ) of the act . metropolis films ltd , based in auckland , whose managing director is gordon adam , is the new zealand distributor of this film and did not submit the publication to the film and video labelling body for classification . this is required by law if the distributor intends to supply the film to the public or make it available for public display .\nthe film has been criticised for its perceived hatred of men and arbitrary violence , but manu and nadine\u2019s first victim is a woman , and in the book they also kill a child , a scene the filmmakers chose not to include for practical and moral reasons ( which they intelligently explain in the insightful documentary included in the extras ) . true , most of manu and nadine\u2019s victims are men , and most of the murders are associated with sex , but the reaction to baise - moi seems entirely disproportionate given the number of films in which men subject women to horrendous violence , sexual and otherwise .\ndizzying , depressing , and decadent . is there a word to describe all three of these things ? do i make a word out of the author ' s name ? despentary ? i think that ' s my word for it . baise - moi is all about violence , particularly of the sexual variety . the added element of sex is what , from the perspective of many , makes it worthy of being responded to with death . this book , in a sense , tackles this concept in a way that , to a certain degree , is borderline fantastical . i didn ' t necessarily mind that at\nbacchai and baise - moi leave their audiences feeling troubled and somewhat repelled . while the film is more continuously upsetting ( i found it practically unwatchable ) , the play ' s last minutes deliver a horror unmatched in the theatre . there is an implication in each that women , when freed of conventional restraints , are capable of exhilaratingly terrible deeds . revenge serves in both as an ambiguous half - motive to justify murder : in one , the women are agents of another ' s revenge ; in the other , unrelated persons comprise the majority of the victims . what is more , in play and film , the killing exceeds all proportion .\nbaise - moi\n( rape me ) , is billed as shocking and exhilarating however , i found it to be neither . virginie despentes ' writing style ( perhaps due to being translated ) holds no shocks or punches . this novel is decently paced if at times it seems to be reaching for the shock value . at times the main characters , nadine and manu come off as caricatures of bad girl archetypes that are neither inventive nor are they new . i hope ( and to give credit to despentes ) that when read in the original language the book retains more of a literary punch . overall i was unimpressed with both the book and the hype .\navec le club de lecture du groupe francophonie , j ' ai commenc\u00e9 ce 28 / 07 / 2016 un challenge abc ( w ) avec des auteurs f\u00e9minins . 1er livre , baise moi , un livre favori de mon p\u00e8re . j ' ai vraiment d\u00e9test\u00e9 la premi\u00e8re partie , je me demandais si un jour une histoire arriverait . la deuxi\u00e8me partie est plus int\u00e9ressante : la rencontre entre manu et nadine , leurs\naventures\n. malheureusement , c ' est trop vulgaire , trop violent . je n ' ai pas vraiment appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 . la fin est \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 surprenante et \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 attendue . bilan mitig\u00e9 , mais j\u2019essaierai tout de m\u00eame d ' autres livres de cette auteure .\nprior to the successful substantive high court hearing on 12 june 2002 , justice hammond had granted an interim restriction order on 12 april 2002 with respect to the film , pursuant to s . 67 of the act , following an application by the society . ( this prevented the seven scheduled screenings of \u201cbaise - moi\u201d going ahead at the 2002 beck\u2019s incredible film festival which ran in auckland and wellington ) . the heart of justice hammond\u2019s ruling was that there was an \u201carguable case\u201d that the board erred in law by first finding the film objectionable , and then widening the public access to it . \u201cthe \u2018disjunction\u2019 between the acknowledged injurious effects of the film and the remedy is very striking\u201d , he wrote .\nome films are made to just be provocative . add some sex sequences and some violence and you get a wave of anger and insult in response of what the director wanted to point out . baise moi is a masterpiece which should be seen by consentant adults ready to face reality and who want to live open minded . yes this film is x rated for adults only but it is not pornographic ! ! ! it is just to tough for young audiences . baise moi belongs to these feature - realism category where you find cassavetes , godard and others . you get in touch with the truth of what these people live , breath and feel . it tells the story ( which could be real ! ) of two women in a world where being a women souds like hell . what about feeling compassion for serial killers ? what about understanding how a human being could turn himself into a monster ? what would our life mean if it doesn ' t worth anything to anybody ? this film shows you what you are not ready to watch and hear . this film connects you with these people frightenning us everyday and against who we protect ourselves without hearing the sound of their sufferings . it ' s tough , brutal , rough and so true ! rape yourself and learn ! i want to thank the two directors and the actresses . they are more than gifted and deserve a great future !\nbaise - moi is a violent , sexually explicit novel containing so much rage that it is almost unbearable . i almost feel a little guilty for enjoying it so much , but i can\u2019t help myself . the novel centers around two young female characters : manu and nadine . manu is a young woman who seems detached from life . she drinks far too much , does drugs , and even makes adult films on occasion to fund her drinking and drug abuse . she puts no value in herself , her body , or anything else . after being horrifically gang - raped one day , she meets and teams up with nadine , a prostitute who is addicted to adult films and loud music . they go on a vicious , brutal murder spree where they take what they want , including lives , sex , and money , and offer no apologies . they seek to find the ultimate freedom . one would think it would be difficult to find anything redeeming or likeable in a novel like baise - moi , but i found it impossible to put down . it was so unashamed with its sexuality and violence that it was almost liberating to read . the actions of the characters are despicable and disgusting , but it\u2019s not impossible to understand the source of their rage and even pity them in some small way . the novel is written in an unemotional style . you get the violence and gore without pages of inner monologue or inner exploration of the characters themselves . the writing style added a lot to the gritty feel of the story . when you strip away the aggression , you are really left with two vulnerable characters that feel alone and think they have nothing to lose because there is no hope for anything better in life . the core of the story is really quite sad . baise - moi isn\u2019t a novel that everyone will understand or appreciate , but it can\u2019t really be explained either . i recommend reading it and coming to your own conclusion . on a side note , if you enjoyed the novel you might like the film by the same name . it\u2019s just as disturbing , but it\u2019s interesting .\none of the lesser pleasures of the porno - trainspotter is listing those wonderful titles the industry comes up with for its hardcore parodies of mainstream movies . my favourites include shaving ryan ' s privates , the sperminator , forrest hump and saturday night beaver . one would have thought , then , that a film that ' s basically thelma & louise get laid could have invented a wittier moniker than the bald challenge baise - moi ( translated as fuck me or kiss me , though one of its titles is rape me ) . forget sex - and - shopping as the epitome of female pleasure and the prime currency of women ' s fiction ; here fucking - and - shooting is what women want .\nan equally controversial new american movie named ' ' bully ' ' is also about stupid , senseless murder , but it has the wit to know what it thinks about its characters . ' ' baise moi ' ' is more of a bluff . the directors know their film is so extreme that most will be repelled , but some will devise intellectual defenses and interpretations for it , saving them the trouble of making it clear what they want to say . i can ' t buy it . ernest hemingway , who was no doubt a sexist pig , said it is moral if you feel good after it , and immoral if you feel bad after it . manu and nadine do not feel bad , and that is immoral .\nbaise - moi is the second example of the recent french graphic rape wave of cinema . like a skanky french natural born killers but without the talent , irony or indeed entertainment , the heavy - handed symbolism and maddening acting should have you turning off after the first 40 minutes . you continue to watch however , mainly though a fascination as to how far the director is willing to push the boundaries of good taste in order to convince us of his point . something to do with society raping people and by - products of the system , a reflection of the perversity at the root of civilisation , monkeys with guns and girl power . joining the sensational release of irreversible , with its centrepiece a nine minute rape scene , it could look to some that modern french cinema had found itself in a quandary , desperately seeking its next big theme in the rapidly thinning file of the last taboos . thankfully , l ' homme du train dispelled those fears , at least for now . and maybe just two films don ' t make a wave , perhaps just a ripple . however , nothing changes the fact that when the closing credits finally arrived , i was angry . because it was rubbish . not a patch on the glory of la haine which dealt with a similar rage , but with far more heart and intelligence . baise - moi also has the worst soundtrack ever . i ' ve got to stop wasting my life watching all these terrible films .\nissue 1 : they ' re really doing it . no surprises here - anderson and bach , along with co - director coralie trinh thi , are hardcore veterans branching out into more narrative - led drama . after the real - sex performances central to such arthouse fodder as ai no corrida ( 1976 ) , the idiots ( 1998 ) and romance ( 1999 ) , we should no longer find this so remarkable . the true breakthrough will come ( as john waters famously said ) when the first a - list hollywood star does a real hardcore scene complete with shots of erections , oral sex and penetration . one assumes hollywood isn ' t quite ready for a studio version of baise - moi starring julia roberts and cameron diaz .\nlast year the society successfully appealed in the high court under s . 58 of the act , the board\u2019s first classification decision on \u201cbaise - moi\u201d dated 13 march 2002 . the board\u2019s decision had downgraded the classification from that issued by the classification office ( oflc ) on 20 august 2001 . the board , following an appeal by the society dated 29 october 2001 against the oflc decision , under s . 47 of the act , classified the film under s . 55 as a r18 for theatrical release ( with no additional restrictions other than the age restriction ) . this meant that identical copies of the film on video and dvd formats could lawfully be supplied to the public ( via retail sales , rental or loan ) for home viewing .\nnone of this justifies violent representations on the grounds that they are cinematic rather than realistic , but it does at least show that baise - moi knows what game it ' s playing . shock is its objective and sensationalism its medium . many a horror film has striven to up the ante in the gross extremes it can bring to the screen ; that this is neither a horror film nor a porn film may be part of the problem . shooting a man on all fours through his rectum so the blood splatters out of his mouth is no more gross than many a death in a horror movie . what ' s unusual is the conjunction of real sex and unreal violence , the confusion of authenticated pornographic fantasy and simulated violent spectacle .\nin the end , it humanized nadine and manu ; two murderous bad ass bitches . it expresses the idea that friendship knows no circumstances . humans are going to commune with other humans no matter where you go . it places you in their shoes so much better than other movies try to do . you\u2019ve got to think sometimes that these people are real ; they exist in our world . actually , they exist in our underworld . this movie brought those parts of society to light and made me wonder how probably too much of it is really going on . there was some as much extreme emotion as graphic value throughout the film . baise - moi had me gripping the edge of the seat , in the moment , throughout the entire movie . 8 out of 10 .\ndizzying , depressing , and decadent . is there a word to describe all three of these things ? do i make a word out of the author ' s name ? despentary ? i think that ' s my word for it . baise - moi is all about violence , particularly of the sexual variety . the added element of sex is what , from the perspective of many , makes it worthy of being responded to with death . this book , in a sense , tackles this concept in a way that , to a certain degree , is borderline fantastical . i didn ' t necessarily mind that attitude because the material , here , was unflinching . this book doesn ' t necessarily place you in the head of the perpetrators of the violence , however . instead , it places you close to the action itself . the reader becomes something of a exhibitionist to the pornographic madness that lines in the prose of this curiously cruel , and rather vulgar , novel . similarly to many of the well - known french literary shockers who forced the readers to confront the sexual actions that we deemed taboo , we have virginie despentes , who decides to make pornography out of violent retaliation and revenge . the effect is a mixed bag . grisly at times for certain . sometimes overwhelming in its alarming description . the average reader likely will not be able to finish baise - moi fast enough , for it is bitter and putrid to the very last page . i ' m personally very glad that i still have yet to reach the bottom of the elevator of french extremities in art .\nthe society is still waiting for the decision of the hon . justice goddard with respect to its other high court appeal ( civ 2003 - 485 - 238 ) against the board\u2019s classification decision on the japanese sex violence film \u201cvisitor q\u201d . the board cleared the film for film festival screenings and noted that it had a lengthy feature involving necrophilia ( \u201csexual conduct with or upon the body of a dead person\u201d \u2013 a woman ) and \u201cthe use of [ human ] excrement in association with degrading or dehumanising sexual conduct\u201d [ with the female corpse ] . the outcome of that case , heard by justice goddard on 7 july 2003 , the day before she considered the appeal on \u201cbaise - moi\u201d , may have some bearing on the present case being advanced by the society to the court of appeal .\nit ' s hard to know how to take this , mainly because i ' ve never read anything quite like it . for this reason - its uniqueness - let ' s say it ' s good . and it is : fast - moving , convincing , entertaining . fine writing it ain ' t , but it doesn ' t waste words and it doesn ' t feel as if it ' s unfolding to an agenda . on my edition ( the black inc australian one ) an australian woman critic calls it ( or the film version ) a story about ' women on top ' , and adds ' vive le revolution ! ' but if you ' re looking for cathartic anti - male affirmative - action scenarios look elsewhere : the two psycho sex - addicts in baise moi don ' t care who they kill , man , woman or child , and they certainly have no manifesto . none , that is , except the absence of one . killing for killing ' s sake - anything else is immoral . and there ' s something true in this , at least in the world of baise moi ( or maybe in any fictional world - how i hate books with a clear - cut moral ) . a book with so much sex and violence could easily ( like american psycho ) have bored or disgusted me , but not once did i feel this became gratuitous . and the characters ? i liked them . whether this book will leave a lasting impression on me i don ' t know , but for doing what it does with naturalness and raw grace i recommend it .\nissue 3 : if it wasn ' t a french arthouse film it would never have got past the bbfc . this may be true , especially given the bbfc press release justifying baise - moi ' s certification at ' 18 ' , with one cut to the rape scene . but the film ' s release history elsewhere has been as troubled as its subject matter . given a rare ' x ' certificate after the french high court overturned the original ' pg - 16 ' in the wake of a national front - led campaign , it was then banned outright by a number of local authorities . in canada it was banned by the ontario review board following walkouts at a toronto film festival screening , and a viewer at the parisian theatre in montreal broke into the projection room , tore the film out of the projector and threatened to bomb the cinema . ironically the bbfc decision may make baise - moi ' s british reception its most liberal yet . the only problem the board claimed was the juxtaposition of extreme sexual images with violence , hence the cut of a penetration shot from the rape scene . similar shots have been allowed in scenes of consensual sex , however , and the bbfc applauds the film for its ' serious cultural purpose ' . whether any old french exploitation flick is capable of making a miraculous metamorphosis into arthouse respectability the instant it crosses the channel is another question . rather than asking how far those naughty french will go with their cinematic sex , we might be better off wondering why we ' re happy to believe almost any foreign - language material must be ' serious ' .\n5 from an anarcha - feminist perspective , this paper explores the socio - cultural reasons for the strongly critical reception of the film baise - moi . as non - simulated sex in mainstream cinema is still somewhat provocative , and film reviewers often evoke the corresponding matter of female sexuality , the first section explores these issues . the second section is concerned with another overtly denounced element of the narrative : the extreme violence . as women commit many of the obvious instances of violence , this is logically followed by a consideration of women perpetrators . finally , although the essay largely maintains a narrative perspective , the effect on the film reviewer of both the film ' s aesthetics and its wider context cannot be ignored , thus the third section explores the grainy filmmaking techniques and the critique of the co - directors .\nbaise - moi \u2018s street credentials are impeccable . codirector coralie trinh thi is a former porn star , as are the two leading actresses . the film has the look and feel of denmark\u2019s dogme school ; it\u2019s shot in video rather than film ; employs natural light ; and uses \u201cnormal people\u201d instead of high - falutin\u2019 stars . most daring , it includes many scenes of penetrative , close - up sex , with a particularly brutal rape scene that has brought the wrath of censors around the world . canada , always free with the scissors , has simply lumped it in with the porn , refusing to let it be shown in ontario in mainstream theaters despite an enthusiastic reception at last september\u2019s toronto international film festival and testimonials by such luminaries as atom egoyan . that it\u2019s getting a release in america at all is more than a little surprising .\n3 the film provokes a range of reactions that mostly centre on its inclusion of non - simulated sex , and which , along with its extreme violence , places it in the new french extremity genre . this term , coined by james quandt , denotes the relatively recent category of french films which include a predominant amalgamation of violence , torture , and sexuality ( 17 ) . baise - moi stands out from this recent trend since the late 1990s for art house films with graphic content ( downing ,\nfrench cinema ' s new ' sexual revolution ' postmodern porn and troubled genre\n265 ) . this is because , despite sharing such taboo features with its contemporaries , it is one of the few which garners such vehement opposition : the film has a 21 % rating on rotten tomatoes , and a\ngenerally unfavourable\n35 out of 100 metascore on metacritic ."]}

though definitely not a great film . both fairbanks and carroll do well here , though no one watching ever buys that linda isn\u2019t falling for logan . tullio carminati is a rather flat one trick pony as the baron but that\u2019s exactly how delmer daves wrote it .\nit\u2019s a safari of love ! burning sands . . . burning lips ! it\u2019s night - time on the glamorous nile !\nwe don ' t have enough data to suggest any movies based on safari . you can help by rating movies you ' ve seen .\nwhile hatari ! came after a slew of other safari films , among them , king solomon\u2019s mines ( 1950 , mgm ) , the african queen ( 1951 , united artists ) , the snows of kilimanjaro ( 1952 , fox ) , and john ford\u2019s mogambo ( 1953 , mgm ) , hawks\u2019 safari film is unlike any that came before . while early safari pictures utilized the spectacle of the african landscape to break from the film\u2019s narrative , hatari ! does the exact opposite by using the narrative to break up the spectacle , a result of that loosely scripted production . the spectacle was made possible both technologically , by the ability to film action scenes with mobile , car - mounted cameras , and stylistically , by filming on location in another continent , away from the influences of studio financiers .\na hedonist girl goes on safari with a count , hoping to impress him into marrying her , but ends up with the chief hunter instead .\nit ' s a safari of love ! burning sands . . . burning lips ! it ' s night - time on the glamorous nile !\njohn wayne said , \u201cthe most fun i ever had on any picture was on hatari ! \u201d after watching the film , a viewer will have no doubt in their mind that this is truly the case . hatari ! , howard hawks\u2019 1962 safari film , is an adventure ride like none other . the film features wayne and red buttons , leading a team of animal capturers for zoos around the world , when they find themselves making room for the arrival of a beautiful wildlife photographer , \u201cdalles , \u201d played by elsa martinelli .\nas the film\u2019s publicity told us , \u201chatari\u201d means \u201cdanger , \u201d and danger is definitely the selling point . when wayne\u2019s character wrangles a rhino in the film\u2019s final scenes and the rhino escapes , requiring recapture , that is actually the actors performing the entire scene , not stunt doubles , even when the rhino takes a swipe at wayne . when hawk\u2019s mounts an over - the - shoulder shot from inside one of the jeeps , over wayne\u2019s shoulder in a seat mounted on the front of the car , while he ropes a giraffe , again , that\u2019s actually john wayne . what is achieved in hawks\u2019 film may have technologically been impossible only half a decade earlier in the 50\u2019s safari films , since hatari ! required mobile camera equipment to achieve many of the most adventurous and mesmerizing shots in the film .\nwith douglas fairbanks jr . and madeleine carroll . it\u2019s again a good exercise to compare some of the marketing pitches against the actual film they are tied to .\nsafari is a pretty good if formulaic jungle film , but there is nothing torrid about it at all . if memory serves , there isn\u2019t a single kiss in the entire film until the final , making the \u2018burning lips\u2019 tag a bit irrelevant . we are set on a river on a game hunt for most of the picture , far away from the vast seas of sand implied above . and there\u2019s no need for a discussion on the glamorous life on the nile , as little could be further from the truth .\nthe film\u2019s narrative can be found lacking by even the most casual of critical viewers , due in large part to a loosely scripted production . originally developed under jack warner with gary cooper starring , the film\u2019s script had yet to be written when hawks announced cooper would be starring in his upcoming \u201cafrica\u201d feature . shortly thereafter the film fell apart when cooper , who had signed on to the project conditionally with script approval , opted to drop out . jack warner subsequently dropped out as well , which resulted in the production going to paramount and the inclusion of star , john wayne . the lack of a script , however , was intentional on hawks part . the open - ended nature of the story allowed for the film to be built around the heart - thumping animal capture scenes that occupy the film , but adrenaline inducing scenes and settings were no strangers to hawks\u2019 style .\nindeed , spectacle is key to the experience of watching hatari ! , filmed on location in taganyika ( modern tanzania ) to take full advantage of the african landscape , including live animals . while the typical safari movie that had dominated the early 50\u2019s was marked largely by actors filmed against rear - projection scenes , intercut with documentary footage to lend credibility to the african setting , hatari ! achieves an almost incomprehensible level of authenticity . hawks notably encouraged his actors to perform all the animal captures live , with wild , untrained animals . watching the film it is clear that the movie was made before the limitations of : \u201cno animals were harmed in the making of this film , \u201d as none of what was filmed would be possible under contemporary rules and regulations . in fact , a contemporary film in the vein of hatari ! would need to be nearly all cgi , which is what makes it so impressive in its own right .\n' bad films ' : one - and - a - half - star ( out of five ) film ratings by ' the motion picture guide ' ( jay robert nash and stanley ralph ross , cinebooks , inc . ; 1927 - 1983 )\nhatari ! is an adventure film unlike any other . at the time it was filmed it defied conventions and broke ground for action filming . however , none of that would have been possible without hawks , a man who could challenge the studios that produced his films , and brought his own personal desires into the stories he was creating . as an action / adventure film , as a technological marvel , and as one of the last few films hawks directed , hatari ! is a unique and wild ride .\nhatari ! both fits into hawks\u2019 traditional style and departs from them in a few significant ways , namely the avoidance of complex camera work . while the shots in the film are not necessarily complex in their composition or framing , the technological achievement and the resulting spectacle of the animal capture scenes is the marvel .\nlogan\u2019s friend ( think of something resembling an agent , perhaps ) and local bartender ( billy gilbert as mondehare ) finds a wealthy couple willing to pay top dollar for a safari . logan\u2019s reluctant at first but after a first flirtatious meeting with the couple he agrees . he\u2019ll be the guide for the arrogant and self - important baron de courtland ( tullio carminati ) and his potential fianc\u00e9 linda stewart ( madeleine carroll ) .\nthe spectacle of live animal interaction is the film\u2019s highlight , which features scenes of giraffes and rhinos being chased and captured by the films actors , in jeeps , throughout the rough african landscape . hawks\u2019 car - mounted cameras follow the cast in both wide and medium shots of action that clearly puts both the actors and wild animals in the same space , bringing authenticity and danger to levels previous films never achieved . but hawks\u2019 style for hatari ! set the bar for animal / human interaction in action / adventure films , many of the scenes obviously served as the template which could be seen again decades later in steven spielberg\u2019s the lost world : jurassic park , though with the comfort of cgi , which didn\u2019t put the actors in harm\u2019s way .\ni found this movie to be wonderful and not what i totally expected . i was looking for a movie about animals and was blessed with a film that fed all my senses . the scenery was breathtaking and clear . you even got an unexpected education from watching it . the actors were talented and did not take away from the scenery . it was a great blending of talent and location . this is not a documentary about animals but it could be used as a wonderful teaching tool on types of animals and how people relate to them . the movie had suspense and laughter throughout . even though was based on a time when women had a place to be and it was not in the bush country . i recommend this movie as a family movie .\nfinally downriver , they setup base camp . as logan preps his plane for a flight to locate big game in the area , linda decides to come along . though promising the baron that they\u2019ll be back by dark , a combination of bad weather and poor time management cause logan and linda to stay the night by the plane . during their trip linda takes picture after picture of nearby game until logan catches on that she long ago ran out of film . assuming that her white lie is a ploy to spend more time with him , he\u2019s flattered and moves a bit closer to her . only then does it become clear that she\u2019s only interested in making the baron jealous . crestfallen , logan settles in for the night and they return to camp the next morning .\nhoward hawks developed over the course of his career a unique , yet commercially appealing and studio - friendly , style that can be traced through his illustrious and diverse set of films , featuring forty - seven official credits as director . hawks\u2019 style has been widely influential and can be seen in films from directors including clint eastwood , martin scorsese , peter bogdonavich , robert altman , and robert zemeckis . common stylistic tropes and signatures of hawks\u2019 work include overlapping dialogue and eye - level medium shots , and an avoidance of more complex camera - work , which hawks believed distracted from the film . beyond that , many of his films spoke to his personal lifestyle ; as a man fond of risk he came to make films such as the air circus ( 1928 ) , the dawn patrol ( 1930 ) , air force ( 1943 ) , crowd roars ( 1932 ) and red line 7000 ( 1965 ) , that expressed his interests in aviation and auto -

though retirement doesn\u2019t seem too far out of the question .\nthe baron is hoping to finally convince linda to marry him and hopes that in sharing the thrills of the hunt and his prowess in the jungle with her she will finally succumb to his desires . linda\u2019s a bit of an odd duck at first glance . she flirts outrageously with logan and we can feel the tension build between them , but it doesn\u2019t seem to lead to anything .\nonce on the river on the way to the jungle , the baron becomes more forceful and condescending in his demands of logan , which logan accepts as best he can . linda continues her flirtations with logan , who reciprocates to a certain extent . what we start to see is that linda is playing with logan only to make the baron jealous . with each flirtation comes a further agitated order from him to their guide .\nwhile they\u2019ve been away the baron\u2019s gone off on his own in a bit of a jealous rage and shot a leopard . only injuring the animal , he leaves it to one of the manservants ( named \u201chappy\u201d ) to finish off the beast . only happy never returns and logan finds his body coiled with the now dead leopard . we can see that logan\u2019s dander is now up but he continues the hunt .\nalong with linda and the baron , logan comes across a lion . logan cautions the baron to shoot him behind the ear , which a hunter of the baron\u2019s skill should be able to do rather easily . the baron sneers at logan then proceeds to shoot the lion in the shoulder . now it\u2019s logan\u2019s turn to finish off the baron\u2019s work and he disappears into the bush .\nonce out of sight we hear the lion roar and struggle . with each roar we cut to a shot of linda\u2019s face , and it is now that we see that in spite of what she\u2019s said in the past that she\u2019s fallen in love with logan . with a gunshot we hear the struggle cease and logan finally emerges , badly bleeding from his arm . linda wants to run to him but restrains herself .\nafter lecturing the baron on intentionally botching the shot , logan cancels the hunt as he needs medical attention that\u2019s only available back in town . one the way back linda calls things off with the baron for good , knowing that it is logan she desires . after a brief disappearance to convalesce linda finally finds him and all ends well .\nthis site uses akismet to reduce spam . learn how your comment data is processed .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ? enter your email address and we ' ll send you instructions on how to access your account .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\nleonard maltin classic movie guide , copyright 2005 , 2010 . used by arrangement with penguin group ( usa ) inc .\ntm & \u00a9 2018 turner classic movies , inc . a time warner company . all rights reserved . code of conduct for this site | press room | privacy policy | | terms of use\n1927 indiana truck with 12459 unrestored miles . hauling & dumping dirt . 8 / 13 / 2011 . . .\ncan ' t find a movie or tv show ? login to create it .\nby signing up for an account on tmdb , you can post directly to twitter and facebook .\nyou need to be logged in to continue . click here to login or here to sign up .\nthe poster is in very good folded condition . there is a piece cut diagonally off the top right\nthis item will be sent through the global shipping programme and includes international tracking . learn more -

of - the - valley or lilyturf . with so many other plants using the name \u201clily , \u201d it seems that identity theft has been around since long before the use of computers and credit cards !\nlilies are propagated mainly by means of bulbs . they are also grown from seeds , scales , bulbils and bulblets . one can buy lily bulbs online or from a local bulb vendor .\nasiatic lilies are the earliest to bloom and the easiest to grow . with their upward facing flowers , they bloom early to midsummer . hardy in zones 4 to 9 , asiatic lilies come in pure white , pink , vivid yellow , orange , and red . intense breeding has erased much of the asiatics\u2019 fragrance , but in spite of their lack of perfume , they are a favorite with floral arrangers .\nlily oils can be used for massage , in a bath , after a bath , for babies , dry cuticles and elbows , as a facial moisturizer , under - eye oil and hot - oil treatment .\nyou can watch our full interview with ansel elgort and lily james above and then you should do yourself a favour and buy a ticket to baby driver which is in cinemas now . you won\u2019t regret it .\nlily roots and bulbs have been used for medicinal purposes . they were boiled into teas to treat stomach disorders , fevers , and assist women in labor . they have also been used topically to treat sores and burns .\nreaders should know that all parts of all lilies are toxic to cats . lily ingestion causes kidney damage which can be severe and sometimes fatal . so use care when deciding where to put that vase full of lilies .\nplant lily bulbs in the fall , a few weeks before the winter brings freezing temperatures . bulbs planted in the autumn will have well established roots in the spring . the bulbs benefit from a winter chill to produce big blooms .\nthe movie stars ansel elgort as baby and the 23 - year - old actor is surrounded by an incredible cast which includes jamie foxx , kevin spacey , jon hamm , flea from the red hot chili peppers and lily james .\nasiatic and oriental lilies are the most popular garden lily varieties . asiatic lilies bloom first in early summer ( in june ) , right after peonies . they are not fussy as long as they are grown in well - draining soil . they are the shortest type of lily ( about 2 to 3 feet tall ) and come in many colors , from pastel to tropical . they don\u2019t have much of a fragrance , but they do add bright color to the garden . it\u2019s the oriental lilies that have that famously strong fragrance . they are tall and stately ( 4 feet ) , and tend to grow more slowly , often blooming about the time when asiatic lily flowers are fading ( mid - to late - summer ) .\nloosen the soil to a depth of 12 to 15 inches . the deep planting encourages the developing stem to send out roots to help stabilize the plant and perhaps eliminate the need for staking . also , deep planting keeps lily bulbs cool when temperatures soar .\n, which is known as the group of \u201ctrue lilies\u201d . though many other flowers use the word lily in their common name , they are not part of this genus ( and therefore are not true lilies ) . examples include water lilies , calla lilies , daylilies .\nselect a site with soil that drains well . how can you tell ? after a good rain , find a spot that is the first to dry out . water trapped beneath the overlapping scales on the lily bulb may cause rot , so a well - drained site is essential .\nalthough the lilies grown from seeds are more disease resistant , the only disadvantage with growing lilies from seeds is that the lily plants take a longer time to bloom , and maybe , in some cases , even take five to six years . hence , bulbs are very much preferred in growing lilies .\nlily bulbs should look similar in shape to a large bulb of garlic , except lilies do not have the papery covering or \u201cskin\u201d that garlic and onions do . typically , you want to leave lily bulbs in the ground until the foliage ( stem and leaves ) dies back naturally . if you have already pulled them up , then you can just cut off the stem and foliage , leaving about an inch on the bulb . little bulbs growing at the base of the stem are called bulblets ; if they are growing farther up the stem , they are bulbils . both eventually grow into new bulbs , but take a long time to do so .\ni bought an asiatic and an oriental lily . the flowers had been removed on both plants ( i assume because they already bloomed ) . will they overwinter in the ground or should i cut off the foliage and overwinter them indoors ? i ' d prefer to keep them in the ground , if possible . we ' re in zone 5 . thank you !\nhi i bought an indoor lily plant last year , it flowered and it died back . . i followed the instructions online , but this year it has grown ( 6 bulbs in pot ) and is 10 inches in height but it hasnt produced flowers , only what looks like little bulbs with roots , on the top of each plant ! please advice what these are and what if anything i can do ? thanks eirwen\ni had 3 lily bulbs that did not get put into the ground until this past april / may ( can ' t remember for sure when i got them in ) . i wasn ' t sure what would happen , and sure enough , 2 did not come up . i figured they died . while planting other plants , i came across the bulbs . there are no shoots on them at all but they look alive still . what should i do . . . plant them now or store them until a bit later in the fall ? if i should store them , can you tell me how they should be stored ? the kinds i bought are asiatic and oriental . thank you for any help you can give me .\na growing source of silent era film information . this listing is from the progressive silent film list by carl bennett . copyright \u00a9 1999 -

drained soil is essential for the good growth of lilies .\nadding large amounts of organic matter will improve clay or sandy soils . the bulbs will stay in place for several years , so good bed preparation is an investment for the future .\nthe ideal location for lilies will provides direct sun all morning during the summer , with partial shade during hot afternoon hours .\nwhen selecting bulbs , be sure that they do not look dry or shriveled , and plant them immediately .\nproper spacing is usually 12 to 18 inches apart but varies according to the variety selected .\nas soon as the soil has become consistently warm during late spring , apply a 3 - inch layer of organic mulch around the plants . the mulch will conserve soil moisture and keep the soil ( and bulbs ) from becoming too hot during the summer .\nlilies do not require daily watering , but when watering , be sure to water deep enough to reach the bulb .\nfeed the plants with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season . avoid high - nitrogen fertilizers .\nkeep lilies blooming by removing blossoms as they fade . this prevents the plant from expending its energy in producing seed .\nlast modified on jul 9 , 2018 | tfe v1 . 2 | \u00a9 2005 -

summer . grown from bulbs , lilies are perennial flowers that will return year after year and require minimal care , provided that you plant them in the right place .\nlilies have six plain or strikingly marked tepals ( \u201cpetals\u201d ) and are often trumpet - shaped , sitting atop a tall , erect stem with narrow , long , lance - shaped leaves . they come in many beautiful colors , including pink , gold , red , orange , and white .\ntrue lilies grow from bulbs and are of the genus lilium . daylilies ( hemerocallis ) , despite having \u201clilies\u201d in their name , are not true lilies . daylilies have many leaves that grow from a crown , whereas true lilies generally have only one stem or shoot that grows from the bulb . similarly , peace lilies , canna lilies , and calla lilies are not true lilies . learn more about \u201ctrue\u201d lilies .\nlilies tend to bloom from early summer to fall , depending on the type . by carefully blending early , mid - season , and late varieties into your garden , you will enjoy their magnificent blooms from spring through first frost . at home in both formal and naturalistic settings , most lilies also take readily to containers . plus , they make great cut flowers !\nbuy the bulbs close to planting time . you don\u2019t want to buy the bulbs in the fall and wait until spring to plant them .\nlilies need lots of sun . for dependable blooms , lilies need 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight a day . if it\u2019s too shady , the stems will attempt to lean towards the sun or get spindly and fall over .\nlilies are best suited for zones 3 to 8 . they do not thrive in zones 9 and 10 without a period of refrigeration ; they need a cold , dormant period .\nmost of the popular varieties prefer acidic to neutral soil , but some are lime - tolerant or prefer alkaline soils ( e . g . , madonna lilies ) .\nenrich the soil with leaf mold or well - rotted organic matter to encourage good drainage . learn more about soil amendments and preparing soil for planting .\nplant the bulbs 3 times as deep as the height of the bulb and set the bulb in the hole pointy side up . fill the hole with soil and tamp gently .\nspace bulbs at a distance equal to three times the bulb\u2019s diameter ( usually about 8 to 18 inches apart , depending on the variety ) .\nfor a good effect , plant lilies in groups of 3 to 5 bulbs .\nduring active growth , water freely\u2014especially if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week .\nkeep lilies mulched so that their roots are cool . the mulch should feel moist , but not wet . read more about mulching .\napply a high - potassium liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks from planting until 6 weeks after flowering .\napply a thin layer of compost each spring , followed by a 2 - inch layer of mulch .\nlilies do not bloom more than once per season , but you can remove the faded flowers so that the plants don\u2019t waste energy making seeds .\nremove leaves until they have died down and turned brown in fall . it\u2019s very important not to cut back the leaves until the end of their season because hey help provide nourishment to the bulb for next season\u2019s blooms .\nbefore winter , add 4 to 6 inches of mulch , simply to delay the ground freeze and allow the roots to keep growing . leave the mulch until spring once the last hard frost has passed . see your local frost dates . see your local frost dates .\ndivide plants every 3 to 4 years as new growth begins in the spring . just lift the plants and divide the clumps . replant the new bulbs adding some compost .\ngray mold is sometimes a problem , especially in a wet , cool spring or summer . make sure lilies are not crowded and have plenty of air circulation .\nviruses , spread by aphids , may be troublesome , although some cultivars are virus - tolerant .\ndeer , rabbits , voles , and groundhogs may eat entire plants . if these critters are a problem , plant the bulbs in buried wire cages to protect them from getting eaten .\nlilies make wonderful cut flowers . however , avoid cutting off more than a third of the stem , which can reduce the plant\u2019s vigor and longevity .\nif you are growing lilies strictly for cut flowers , consider planting them in a designated cutting garden , where you can plant fresh bulbs each year .\nwhen cutting lilies , choose those with buds that are just about to open , with a bit of the flower color showing . the higher up buds will open as the bottom ones fade .\nas soon as you get lilies inside , trim the stem ends an inch or so , making a diagonal cut with a sharp knife .\nif you worry that the orange pollen of lilies might cause stains , simply snip off the stamens in the flower\u2019s center .\nbefore arranging in a vase , remove the lower leaves on the stems so that no foliage will be underwater .\nto help prolong the flowers\u2019 life , add cut - flower food to the water . lilies require only half the amount of food recommended for other flowers .\nthere are many types of lilies which bloom at different times . you can enjoy lilies all summer long if you plant bulbs from different varieties .\ntrumpet lilies bloom mid - summer . tall with trumpet - shaped flowers , they are hardy in zones 5 to 9 . trumpet lilies grow many blooms ( 12 to 15 per stalk ! ) and have a wonderfully heady , sweet fragrance .\ntrumpet lilies bloom mid - summer and their blooms are deeply fragrant . just a few plants can perfume your entire garden .\noriental hybrids end the season , blooming in mid - to late summer , just when asiatic lilies are beginning to fade . from tiny 2 - footers to towering 8 - foot - tall giants , orientals are always a striking choice ( the shorter ones are great for patio beds or container gardens ) . adored for their intoxicating fragrance that intensifies after dark , oriental lilies produce masses of huge white , pink , red , or bi - color blooms . they make wonderful cut flowers that will fill even the largest of rooms with their spicy scents .\neaster lilies can be planted in the ground in the spring . they may survive several years if you mulch them heavily in the fall , especially in northern regions . if they survive , they\u2019ll bloom in late summer .\nin a flower bed , lilies prosper in the presence of low - growing plants that protect the lilies\u2019 roots from drying out .\nthe content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly .\nmy daylillies have & are blooming quite a bit . i\u2019m new st this & was wondering if the spent blooms should be removed and if so where is the best place on the stalk to remove them ?\nfor mother ' s day i bought my mom a pot of four lillies . my mom loves having flowers in the house so she has no intention of planting them outside . but , she still has no idea what the right amount of water and sunlight lillies actually need is . would putting them in a room that gets partial sunlight be enough ? as for water , i read that a little bit of water , enough to keep the soil moist not soaked , is enough . is that true ? how would we be sure the soil towards the bottom of the pot is moist as well ? is there any other things we should do to keep the lillies alive for as long as possible ? thanks in advance .\ni bought 3 asian lilies in mid april . they already had buds and fully bloomed within 10 days . the same seems to be happening again . the 3 indiv plants are full of what looks like buds . they are in a long container and i was going to plant them in organic soil . after reading your info and advice i\u2019m asking what you think i should do . i live in sarasota , in sw florida which is zone 9 . thanks .\nrecently bought lillie ' s in a container . 3 per container . do i need to space out the 3 stalks for better results ?\nif you\u2019re planting lilies in a group of three , we would plant them 8 inches apart , depending on the size of the lilies .\ni was recently given cut lilies in a floral arrangement from work . is there a way i can get seeds from them so i can plant my own lilies ? thank you for the guidance .\nthe flowers will likely not have enough strength to produce seeds , unfortunately . once they\u2019re cut , they really only have enough energy to finish blooming before dying .\ni recieved potted oriental lillys for valentine ' s day . i want to save the bulbs for my garden . when will they re - bloom ? what steps should i take as they have already bloomed ?\nas we are moving home & we wish to lift & store for approx 8 weeks what is the preferred method of doing this please \u2014 i\u2019m talking about 40 bulbs . thank you\nto store for travel , dig up your bulbs and gently wash them , removing all dirt . discard any rotten or disease - ridden bulbs . fill a cardboard box ( or several if you have a lot of bulbs ) with alternating layers of dry peat moss and bulbs . top the last layer of bulbs with a final layer of peat moss . when possible , store in a cool and dry place to insure that no moisture gets into the box . we hope this helps !\ni received three pots of lilies , as gifts last spring . my question is what does the bulbs look like ? i have taken these , what i think are bulbs , from the dirt and there is one big glob of things that i think are bulbs , but they are all attached . several little things attached to the stems . do i break the large glob from the stem ? another question these things have roots do i need to plant now it ' s october or do i wait for early spring ?\nif you\u2019re located in a climate where a true winter freeze doesn\u2019t occur , then you can plant the bulbs in the fall . however , if you typically see freezing winter temperatures , then you\u2019ll want to store the bulbs until spring . the easiest option would be to replant them in the pots they came in and store the entire pots in a cool , dark place for the winter . the key to storing lilies is to keep them cool and to not let them dry out , which is why storing them in soil is a good idea . just make sure they do not get too moist , as they could rot .\ni dug up some day lilies to transplant . it rained while they were piled up and some now have mold on them . can they be saved ? thank you for your help .\ntry to carefully remove as much mold as you can from the plants . cut the leaves back to approximately one third to one half their length , then replant . good luck !\nyour idea is a good one\u2013store them and then replant in the fall . good luck !\ni live in rhode island and have an almost accidental garden of asiatic and oriental lilies that have all done incredibly well ( west facing garden against the house in sandy soil with my own compost added each year ) . there are all different kinds that begin to bloom in mid - june and the last assortment finally finishes blooming in sept . i ' ve been reading about harvesting the seed pods and planting them so i ' ll give that a try this year ( i ' ve watched some videos on line about cultivating them ) . my question is ( and this may sound dumb ) will the lilies that grow from the seeds be annuals ? all my other ones have grown from bulbs that come back each year .\nthe lilies you\u2019ll get from this year\u2019s seeds will act just as their parents , so they will also grow into bulbs and come back year after year . you should be aware that lilies grown from seed may take at least two growing seasons to mature , and may not produce flowers until then . the flowers of the new plants may also be different from those of the parent plants , as some of the seeds you harvest this year will likely be hybrids .\ni planted some oriental lilies in pots this spring . after they bloom , i plan on leaving them in their containers after removing their stalks . my zone is 10b ( northern california - bay area ) . my question is whether i need to water my lilies ( and how often ) during\noverwintering\nof my oriental lilies if i plan to leave them in their pot / container outside all winter . thanks !\nas far as possible you want to replicate the conditions the lilies would experience in the ground . as noted above , before winter , add 4 to 6 inches of mulch , simply to delay the ground freeze and allow the roots to keep growing . leave the mulch until spring once the last hard frost has passed . see your local\n. if your ot is not deep enough to allow that much mulch , you could put the pot into something else that would facilitate that ( from a box to the ground ) . also above it says keep moist in winter . how much depends on local conditions . adequate mulch should keep the \u201cmoisture\u201d from freezing . speaking of freezing , a too shallow container ( or bulb depth in ground ) can result in\nthe soil that can lift the bulbs and expose them more than is desirable . rain , followed by dryness , then rain again can also contribute .\nalternatively , we often recommend lifting the bulb , storing it in a cool , dry place in peat moss that you occasionally dampen , then replanting it in spring .\nhi - i ' ve always had success with my lilies . this year , however , all the lilies that were either already planted or newly planted in the fall produced very small flowers - even the casa blancas and they only lasted a few days . we had a hard winter - 56 feet of snow in the mountains . but i prepared the beds as i always do before winter with lots of mulch and cover with pine needles . we are at 6000 feet so we get a fair share of snow . i had some bulbs left that weren ' t planted in the fall . i planted them in the spring and although they never got tall , they got nice flowers . so not sure what to think - wondering if the bulbs are permanently damaged - i lifted a few and the bulbs look okay although the roots are seemed to be shallow . maybe plant them deeper - add a lot of soil and / or sphaghum on top , then mulch . any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . thanks !\nwe might suggest dividing the lilies , but if you lifted and looked at some and they don\u2019t appear to need that\u2026 then , we were beginning to think that maybe your altitude put you on the extreme end of the hardiness zone . but you\u2019ve had success in the past . how about the soil ph ? if you have lilies that prefer neutral to alkaline soil , the pine needles\u2014esp if you have mulched with them over a period of years\u2014may have altered the soil ph . check it and amend , as needed . fall is the best time to lime . here in info on ph : urltoken and more on soil amendments : urltoken\nwe suggest high - potassium fertilizer above ; ever done that ? it would be lacking .\nas for planting deeper ; per above ( you should review all the tips above ) , the holes should be 2 to 3 times the bulb\u2019s diameter . if you think that\u2019s it , we suggest checking the ph , amending as / if necessary , and then planting in fall .\ni think i ' ll try the high potassium fertilizer . i have all varieties of lilies - my casa blancas were always huge and gorgeous . i ' m going to test for ph as well . nothing i can do about the very hard winter but i might increase the mulch topping this fall . thanks for the suggestions !\nvrindawan hsg . soc , new d . p . road , kothrud ( 8 , 447 . 98 mi ) pune , maharashtra 411038\nbest day care , every child enjoys a lot here . . . . all staff members are co -

life selves . this practice , which can blur the distinction between drama and documentary and allow a glimpse at truths otherwise invisible to the camera , flourished in the italian neorealism of the 1940s and the work of iranian filmmakers like abbas kiarostami and mohsen makhmalbaf in the 1990s . mr . minervini , an italian director who has now made three features in rural texas , extends this tradition with impressive sensitivity and skill .\n\u2018stop the pounding heart\u2019 is een prachtige film die de mensen , zowel de religieuze fundamentalisten als de cowboys , in hun waarde laat . er is geen echt conflict . in een speelfilm zou sara ongetwijfeld dreigen de kerk te verlaten en er met haar geliefde vandoor te gaan , maar niet hier . haar innerlijke worsteling , hoewel voorzichtig aangestuurd door minervini , voelt echt en dat is genoeg voor een anderhalf uur durende intense kijkervaring .\nstop the pounding heart doesn ' t have much of a story . there ' s no third act to speak of , and the conflict of the film , about sara ' s growing uneasiness with the devout christian belief system that she was raised under , is never developed or punctuated in the manner in which i think a conflict should be . even the imdb summary might go further than i would be comfortable saying the film is about ; it makes intellectual leaps that i ' m not sure the film makes as explicit as the summary seems to imply . but i doubt i ' ll see a better made film in terms of editing this year .\n\u201cstop the pounding heart\u201d transcends both the red state - blue state split and limited , didactic ideas of cinematic realism . its scenes , quiet and undramatic , are nonetheless suffused with an almost lyrical intensity , and its sympathy is as limitless as its curiosity . mr . minervini practices a kind of ecstatic humanism masquerading as ethnography . the people in his film , as we come to know them , seem very familiar , and if they also seem mysterious , it is partly because the rest of us are , too .\n\u201cstop the pounding heart\u201d could be described as a story of teenage romance , though its plot is a mere whisper . when sara ( sara carlson ) , one of 12 children in a christian , home - schooling farm family , meets a young rodeo rider named colby ( colby trichell ) , the abashed looks and polite words they exchange suggest something stirring between them . dating is no more a part of sara\u2019s life than commercial popular culture , and colby is both too respectful and too easily distracted to pursue her with much zeal .\nbut this is hardly a tale of forbidden love . it is , instead , an investigation of sara\u2019s inner life \u2014 of the state of her soul \u2014 wrapped in an exploration of her social environment . it may be hard for an audience at lincoln center ( where \u201cstop the pounding heart\u201d opens on friday ) to avoid looking at the film from across a cultural and ideological divide . sara and colby , for all their differences , both live in a world where literal interpretation of the bible and commitment to the second amendment are pillars of behavior and belief . in sara\u2019s case , submission to male authority is a principle of family life , explained by her mother in lessons to sara and her sisters .\nin an episode dedicated to the show within the show , \u201cglow\u201d illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .\nso , as voters make their little leonardo dicaprio dodge lady gaga on the 12 - bit red carpet , so will the real leo once again dodge gaga as the latter walks to the podium with diane warren .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nthe dramatic integrity of minervini\u2019s approach is admirable , though the director\u2019s reluctance to intrude also means that some of what\u2019s onscreen remains opaque . one example is the unexplained scenes in which the girls wear period dresses , presumably to reinforce their connection to traditional notions of womanhood .\nthe fact that there is a work - process , organisation , and the like involved , does not prevent the work of cinema from being legitimately claimed by its author , even those aspects which are out of his control . on the other hand , the cinema cannot live without constant reference to \u2018photographic realism\u2019 . i hope that you will easily agree with this : the trace of the artist\u2019s work , in the cinema , is something shocking . it\u2019s much more shocking than in other realms of art . the filmmakers i admire are therefore those who mask their means . . .\n- - eric rohmer .\nwhile the director keeps his own ideological views out of the picture , there\u2019s arguably an implicit judgment in the way the gun culture of places like rural texas is depicted , such as a shot of a heavily pregnant trichell family member getting in some target practice . watching the same woman later giving birth assisted by a midwife perhaps inadvertently fuels sara\u2019s anxieties about her expected role .\nshot using a handheld camera and only available light sources , the no - budget production has a slightly raw sound quality , sacrificing some of the mumbled dialogue . but that just seems part of the persuasive purity of minervini\u2019s vision . and while it isn\u2019t quite a performance in the standard sense , it\u2019s difficult to imagine the film working to the extent it does without a figure of such emotional transparency and innate spirituality as sara carlson at its center .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthis is the archive of articles selected from the print version of cinema scope magazine . you can help us to continue to provide this valuable resource and read many more articles by subscribing .\nacross four different programs \u2014 galas , special presentations , contemporary world cinema and tiff kids \u2014 the festival brought its overall film count to just over 200 ( see the full list here ) .\nminervini places these two non -

( wikipedia )\none of the important activities performed by ue during rrc idle mode is listening to paging message . the ue should listen to the paging message to know about incoming calls , system information change , and etws ( earthquake and tsunami warning service ) notification for etws capable ues . in lte , the ue needs to monitor pdcch continuously ( every 1ms ) for p - rnti to listen to paging message and this drains ue battery power heavily . instead , if the ue is allowed to monitor p - rnti in pdcch , only at predetermined period say every 60ms or 100ms , it will reduce ue\u2019s power consumption . the process of monitoring pdcch discontinuously for p - rnti to listen to paging message during rrc idle state is known as discontinuous reception ( drx ) in rrc _ idle .\nidle hands\nis great . personally , i think its hilarious . but i ' m just not sure if i can completely sign off on this release . not until the price comes down a little perhaps . the picture quality isn ' t a huge jump from dvd releases ( which have supplements like commentary available ) . i ' ve been having quite a bit of fun with the titles image has been putting out recently , but i wish they ' d perhaps put a tad bit more\ntlc\ninto it . not thc you damn heathen .\ni rented\nidle hands\nand i have to say that it was a great movie ! it was kind of like\nscary movie\n, but better ! it was very funny ! ! devon sawa , seth green , eldin ratliff , and jessica alba were spectacular ! this is a very funny / gorey movie . the acting is funny and great , and the directing is great ! this is a smash - hit ! i loved it ! i highly recommend this film to horror fans and comedy fans for that matter ! i give this film a perfect 10 out of 10 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! : )\nhow to find a bad movie the champions of justice plan 9 from outer space manos , the hands of fate podcast : todd the convenience store clerk faster , pussycat ! kill ! kill ! the human tornado maniac the educational archives : driver ' s ed godzilla vs . monster zero do you have a zombie plan ?\nues in idle mode monitor the pdcch channel for p - rnti used for paging to receive paging message from enb . the ue needs to monitor the pdcch only at certain ue specific paging occasion , i . e . only at specific subframe in specific radio frame . at other times the ue may go for sleep mode to save battery power .\ndelivering a dts - hd 5 . 1 format , it starting to seem like i can count on image to deliver a consistent and safe mix for my precious ear - holes ( not to get too scientific on you ) . dialogue holds its place with a clear and convicted mix . no power struggles amongst the layers seem to occur . each quirky splatter and stabbing effect is well established . no surprises here . it ' s worth mentioning that\nidle hands\nhas an excellent sound track ranging from rob zombie to rancid . there is even some screen time for cali - punkers in the offspring where we get to watch frontman , dexter holland , get his scalp ripped off .\nbut was the movie really so bad ? i ' ve watched it twice in as many days , to see if those critiques hold up . my verdict : sure they do . the spirits within is a diabolically written movie . if the story that it tells had been a video game , at least the instances of interactive action would have kept the plot moving with some compelling beats . as a sit - down experience , hands left idle , it ' s a cavalcade of unanswered questions , a raft of too - quick conclusions drawn without any context , a heap of general that - makes - no - sense - whatsoever ridiculousness , with everything topped by an ending that just happens without any real feeling of conclusiveness .\nthe movie has energy and is probably going to attract a young audience , especially on video , since the r rating will keep away some viewers in its target audience , which is junior high school boys . after the colorado tragedy , some commentators have wondered if movies like this aren ' t partly responsible . i don ' t think we have to worry about\nidle hands .\nkids understand this kind of macabre comedy - - which is in the ancient horror spoof tradition - - and they don ' t take it seriously ; any viewer capable of being influenced by such silly gags would have to be deeply disturbed already . the only thing this movie is likely to inspire a kid to do is study fangoria magazine to find out how the special effects were achieved .\nas a\nroger corman film school\nalumni , director , rodman flender has a clear understanding of how to balance splatter - tastic kills and beautiful teens in heat . but this 1999 slasher - comedy came out of the gate tripping over its own feet . frankly , it was a critical chew toy - being dismissed for its outrageous violence . most will chalk up the film ' s ill reception to the fact that it ' s release was poorly timed with the tragedy of colorado ' s columbine high school . within recent years ,\nidle hands\nhas seemed to find its audience and be accepted as a light - weight cult piece . as it should . the laughs are well deserved with bat - shit - crazy physical comedy paired with a witty stoner tilt .\nseeking advice from curtis , the local heavy metal headbanger , anton decides to keep his right hand busy ( not that way , you pervert ! ) by knitting , being told that\nidle hands are the devil ' s tool .\nhowever , this claim doesn ' t hold water when two cops - mcmacy and ruck - arrive to investigate the disappearance of each of the hand ' s victims . in the scene which follows , the possessed hand uses a knitting needle to treat mcmacy ' s head like a shish kabob while it turns ruck ' s own taser on its owner . meanwhile , curtis is confronted by debi , a woman who has been tracking satan ' s progress for some time . apparently , the devil plans to sacrifice a girl of his choice to take back with him to hell .\nusually , when you watch a movie that sends up the horror genre , the movie sacrifices the scares in favor of the laughs . but , in idle hands , the movie makers remembered to keep all the creepy touches and startling frights that make a horror movie when they mixed in all the humor . not nearly as heavy handed as , say , the scary movie franchise , idle hands has all the normal trappings of a good teen horror flick : the unstoppable killing evil that has come back , the buddies of the main character who don ' t understand the danger until it ' s too late , the horny girl who main character must protect and a brave hero who is a bastion of all that is good in the world to defend us . . . ok , so i was lying about that last one . and that is one of the best twists of the film , the main character is a screw - up and doesn ' t act very heroically until very , very late in the film . in addition to really revving up the laughs , this feature is also what kind of makes this movie stand out from the usual horror fare . now , here ' s the key : while anton struggles with the evil in his bumbling way , egged on by the wise - cracks of mick and pnub , the film delivers actual horror . we get shocks , we get creeps , we get gore and we don ' t get the\nha - ha got ya !\njoke right afterward that you get in most parodies . the scares are real , the deaths are real , the danger are real . and , surprisingly , so are the laughs .\nthe devil will find work for idle hands to do . . . but what happens when he chooses the laziest teen slacker in the world to do his dirty work ? anton tobias ( devon sawa , wild america ) is a channel - surfing , junk - food munching , couch potato burn - out who can ' t control the murderous impulses of his recently possessed hand . with the help of his zombiefied buddies , mick ( seth green , austin powers : the spywho shagged me ) and pnub ( elden henson , the mighty ) , anton ' s got to stop the rampaging devil appendage before it takes total control of his life and ruins any chance he has with class hottie molly ( jessica alba , never been kissed ) . vivica a . fox ( independence day ) and jack noseworthy ( the brady bunch movie ) co - star in this wickedly funny horror comedy .\nopen 10am to 5pm tuesday through sundays and closed mondays november through april ; open daily 10am to 5pm may through october . closed christmas day , new year ' s day , easter & thanksgiving holidays . current exhibitions include no idle hands : the myths and meanings of tramp art , artistic heritage : syrian folk art crafting memory : the art of community in peru , plus more than 120 , 000 objects are on display in the long term exhibition multiple visions , a common bond by architect and designer alexander girard . this international folk art collection includes miniature buildings , streets and village scenes from more than 100 different countries . there are no text panels in this exhibition , the cases are numbered . if you miss the docent walk - in tour , pick up a multi - media tour at the front desk or a grab a printed gallery guide at either entrance . kids 16 and under and museum of new mexico foundation members always free !\ni am particular about my films and usually don ' t go for\nstoner\ncomedy but i thought this film was hilarious , i mean the story was a little thin but and the main star isn ' t a star but what makes a movie is how it plays out and it played out brilliantly even though the acting was poor in places it didn ' t matter cos u couldn ' t stop laughing long enough to notice jessica alba played a very cheesy yet funny part my favourite line being\nmmm , your kinky\nthe look on her face and how she said it made me collapse into laughter , and being a great fan of the offspring made it even more of a bonus though dexter ' s acting was terrible . i was a great fan of sam raimis evil dead trilogy the hand scenes reminded me a lot of bruce cambells hand trying to kill him the hand scenes in idle hands were very well done please see this movie , u wont regret it\nevery year around halloween i put on a long horror movie marathon for me and my friends . we play many of the classics but i like to throw in some modern or more obscure titles that we haven ' t seen to keep it interesting and prevent us from spending yet another two hours quoting every line of dialogue in carpenter ' s halloween . i use idle hands to break up the marathon with a bit of humor and levity when the serious and somber horror films start to take their psychological toll and depress everyone . it brings everyone back into the mood of the marathon and refreshes us with some laughter . it is to my marathon what the porter is to macbeth you might say . in this context , the film is great . i don ' t know if i would rate it very highly on its own however . it is worth watching and if you like campy gore mixed some black humor you will have a good time watching it . try pairing it with a viewing of the evil dead 2 or something similar .\ni always work on saturdays at idle hands , above ( 74 stokes croft , bristol bs1 3qy , 0117 914 7493 ) . we get most of the work done in the week , so it is usually a good social day with djs passing through from other parts of the country , or even further afield , discussing the various club nights on that weekend . for lunch , my co - worker frankie dread and i are quite partial to pepenero ' s ( 22 bond street , bristol bs1 3lu , 0117 926 8057 ) , our favourite pizza spot . it is run and staffed by italians , and the pizza tastes exactly as it does over there . after work i might have a couple of pints at the bell and then head to mathilda\u2019s ( 8a haymarket walk , bristol , bs1 3ln , 0117 3292 626 , mathildaschili . com ) , a recently opened chilli restaurant . the menu is stripped back to about three options but that \u2018s fine as they are all good , and they do deep fried gherkins - a favourite of mine .\ni am turned off by smirky teen slasher movies . tired and boring . they are a drug on the market , and tend to be bland as heck . this does not apply to merely the latest ones , but ones going back for many years . enter idle hands . christmas present to myself . why not ? was told it was a fun blend of comedy and horror . but yow ! i was not told that i was in for a wild ride ! a previous review mentions the first 5 minutes looking like the typical clich\u00e9 , until the fun kicks in . well , the first 5 minutes came and went , then when devon appears , the movie threw the clich\u00e9s out the door and settled down into an insane and goofy pace playing on the comedic talents of some seasoned child star vets who are armed and dangerous with comedy and not afraid to use it . the end result is an absolute delight . not smirky , not self referencing this movie is genuine fun with genuine horror as well . a wild ride , ups and downs , giving you screams of fright and laughter . a 10 out of 10 for me , this one is a keeper to show friends for parties .\nreaders tread familiar territory in chapter three , \u2018haunted housewives and the postfeminist mystique\u2019 , which focuses on the tired but ever visible popular culture representation of the privileged \u2018housewife\u2019 and her life . munford and waters fire with fresh ammunition against pop culture\u2019s obsessive resuscitation of this outdated model of femininity , and take us through sections on \u2018feminism and the housewife\u2019 ; \u2018uncanny housewives\u2019 ; \u2018princess housewives and idle hands\u2019 ; and finally , one presupposing the grim reality , \u2018you\u2019re gonna die in here ! \u2019 it is the third of these sub - chapters that is especially worth considering as paradoxical to friedan\u2019s \u2018occupation housewife\u2019 . madonna\u2019s career enables readers to engage through following her huge 1984 hit \u201clike a virgin\u201d through to her status as a noughties career mother . it might be argued that her celebrity status paved the way for britney spears\u2019 own meteoric rise and fluctuating falls and , from there , wags , gold - diggers and the \u2018princess housewife\u2019 : \u201cin celebrating these models of privileged \u2018housewifery\u2019 popular culture repeats a fairy - tale idealization of feminine idleness and indulgence that has long been a source of frustration within feminist discourses\u201d ( p . 93 ) . popular culture remains rife with examples of this trend in glamourized domestication ; we need only think of the great british bake off and sewing bee , or nigella lawson and kirstie allsop , to relate this chapter to a modern mirage of femininity feeding off the carcass of consumerism whilst masking the stench of social decline .\nyou read a lot lately about how busy we americans are . that we don ' t have time to do anything important , like paying the bills , spending time with family and friends , and taking care of our health . but i think much of america has the opposite problem ; we seem to have too much time on our hands . how does most of america spend its leisure time these days ? not volunteering or bettering ourselves physically , intellectually , or spiritually . rather , most of america seems to immerse itself in popular culture : watching television , movies , and dvds , playing videogames , listening to music , surfing the internet , and reading women ' s or men ' s magazines .\nprakash\u2019s professional career began in the telecom industry in 2000 with a seven year stint with vgr polytechnic , in india . he assumed the role of lecturer and taught the undergraduate students on digital electronics and analog communication systems . additionally , his intense desire to stay hands - on in the industry led him to take on the responsibility of managing the technology within the institute\u2019s computer and communication networks laboratory . during this period he moved onto the role of head of the department in electronics and communication . as an assistant professor , he continued applying his proven technique of teaching to graduate and undergraduate students in the areas of digital and mobile communications . prakash utilized his lab management responsibility to stay linked with the telecom industry and put this to effective use to guide his students on industry based projects .\nlet ' s clean the whole f * * kin house while we ' re at it !\n- seth green this movie was funny and a breath of fresh air from the shlock slasher flicks that permeate the teen horror genre . to whoever wrote the original review . . . way to try and be funny , chief . the plot of the film is this kid ' s hand is possessed by evil . . . no needs to see the incredulous bracketed remarks about this . what were you hoping for , steel magnolias ? and to criticize the hand aspect ? weall know how common evil hands are . . . there have been numerous movies made on the topic , or including the topic . this was an updated version chock full of hilarious violence , one liners and weed .\nfor reasons unknown , i couldn ' t see idle hands when it was released into theatres last year in 1999 . i didn ' t get a chance to see it until it came out on tape in august later of that year . the plot centers around anton tobias ( devon sawa ) , he ' s 17 , he hasn ' t been to school in 6 months , he ' s in love with molly ( jessica alba ) a girl who has lived across the street from him for lord knows how long , and he smokes pot with his friends mick ( seth green ) and pnub ( elden henson ) . anyway , anton wakes up one day to find that his parents have disappeared , ( although it takes him about two days to realize this ) . this goes to show you should stop smoking pot all the time . it isn ' t long before anton discovers his horribly mutilated parents and that his right hand has been possessed by satan . his hand soon kills his best friends mick and pnub . with the help of a priestess debi ( vivica a . fox ) and a local headbanger ( jack noseworthy ) anton comes up with a few odd ways of keeping his hand occupied from its homicidal tendencies such as listening to heavy metal and needle point . let me just say that this movie is hilarious . i should also say that this movie is also one of the grossest and goriest movies i ' ve ever seen . there are quite a few hilarious moments as well as a few shocking ones . vivica a . fox ' s name says it all and jessica alba isn ' t bad to look at either . 10 / 10\nyou ' re only right to ask yourself : hasn ' t square learned from the spirits within ? at a press conference for final fantasy xv in los angeles earlier this year , the game ' s director hajime tabata was asked by kotaku uk editor keza macdonald just how many copies it ' d need to sell to cover its costs .\nten million\nwas his immediate reply . no further clarification was given\u2014i know this , as i was sat right next to keza when she posed the question . square later released a statement , saying tabata ' s ten million was a\npersonal goal\nand not the amount necessary to pay back what the studio had put in . ( they ' re not giving away that information . ) but with final fantasy vii , the biggest seller in the entire series , shifting around 11 million copies over its lifetime , for final fantasy xv to reach a number close to that is incredibly unlikely . will that leave square in the hole again , with another final fantasy financial disaster on its hands ?\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant - man and the wasp ' | showtimes\n\u00a9 urltoken , inc . or its affiliates . all rights reserved . box office mojo and imdb are trademarks or registered trademarks of urltoken , inc . or its affiliates . terms of use and privacy policy under which this service is provided to you .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nroger ebert ' s speech on empathy for the\n11th hour\nseries on april 9th , 1994 , being republished here in honor of his birthday june 18 .\nroger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success\u2026\na look back at robert zemeckis ' half - animated classic , who framed roger rabbit , on its 30 - year anniversary .\na tribute to the late tab hunter , a gay matinee idol and hollywood trailblazer .\nvivica a . fox plays the demon buster , tracking down alarming manifestations and delivering the single best line of dialogue :\nwell , my work here is done . time for the ritualistic sex .\nthe plot involves her pursuit only absentmindedly , however , since most of the big scenes involve comic gore : disembodied eyeballs , unusual biological processes , body parts discovered in unexpected ways , etc . there ' s no really convincing comic inspiration behind the f / x scenes , however , and although we might laugh at some of the goofiness , a movie like this works best when the effects are a means , not an end .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nthe ebert club is our hand - picked selection of content for ebert fans . you will receive a weekly newsletter full of movie - related tidbits , articles , trailers , even the occasional streamable movie . club members also get access to our members - only section on urltoken\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nseventeen year old slacker anton tobias wakes up one halloween morning to discover that both of his parents have been turned into two headless halloween decorations . after speaking to his equally irresponsible friends , mick and pnub , he discovers that his right hand has a blood - thirsty mind of its own and is hell - bent on wreaking havoc whether he likes it or not .\njack noseworthy ( randy ) and katie wright ( tanya ) did not know they were half - siblings until they met on the set of this movie .\nwhen anton and his dog , duke , are under the sheets , their heads are at about the same spot . but when it cuts just before anton goes to get the phone , his dog ' s head is not under the covers .\n34 of 58 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nwith jurassic world : fallen kingdom now in cinemas , we take a look at how imdb users rated the films of the franchise . plus , browse exclusive lego\u00ae jurassic world playsets , presented by lego .\nbelgian and german inspired craft beer brewed in malden , ma . taproom open 7 days a week\nthe taproom is a 21 + venue . only children 12 & under are permitted with a supervised adult . well behaved , leashed dogs allowed on patio .\non sunday , july 8th , we celebrate 2 amazing years of being open in malden . join us for our 2nd annual pig roast . this year brato brewhouse + kitchen will be roasting up a pig from clover luck farm , the same farm we send our spent grains to ! july 8th , 2pm - 8pm\nwe will be pouring at the wgbh craft beer festival fundraiser . wgbh\u2019s annual craft beer festival\neldon henson , jessica alba , seth green , devon sawa , vivica a . fox , steve van wormer\nfree 5 - 8 business - day shipping within the u . s . when you order $ 25 of eligible items sold or fulfilled by amazon .\nor get 4 - 5 business - day shipping on this item for $ 5 . 99 .

there are no villains , no real acts of betrayal , or conflicts that aren ' t easily resolved . and the comedy is pretty tame as well . an entertaining but forgettable film , home again has no ambition or passion to it .\napocalypse wow : unlike the previous film , there ' s no other human casualties aside six criminals and a few jsdf planes . but the scenery gorn in osaka still had its effects upon its inhabitants .\napparently , the most unbelievable part of the film\u2014that alice would allow three strangers to move in with her and her young daughters\u2014actually happened to a woman that meyers - shyer knew . fine . but her job was to make it believable in her movie instead of just a plot contrivance . yes , the casual - chic interior designs shine as much as her mom\u2019s ever did . but i never really felt at home with \u201chome again . \u201d\npeople has the exclusive first look at the film , written and directed by a newcomer with an impressive pedigree , hallie meyers - shyer . her mom , nancy meyers , is the director behind hits like something\u2019s gotta give and it\u2019s complicated , as well as the writer of private benjamin . and witherspoon says watching the mother - daughter duo work together ( nancy is a producer on home again ) was her favorite part of the shoot .\nhello again directed by tom gustafson ( 2017 ;

[ 12 ] by 1980 , with legal issues again causing the project to founder , [ 6 ] connery thought himself unlikely to play the role , as he stated in an interview in the sunday express :\nwhen i first worked on the script with len i had no thought of actually being in the film\n. [ 13 ] when producer jack schwartzman became involved , he asked connery to play bond ; connery agreed , asking ( and getting ) a fee of $ 3 million , ( $ 7 million in 2016 dollars ) a percentage of the profits , as well as casting and script approval . [ 6 ] subsequent to connery reprising the role , the script has several references to bond ' s advancing years \u2013 playing on connery being 52 at the time of filming [ 6 ] \u2013 and academic jeremy black has pointed out that there are other aspects of age and disillusionment in the film , such as the shrubland ' s porter referring to bond ' s car (\nthey don ' t make them like that anymore .\n) , the new m having no use for the 00 section and q with his reduced budgets . [ 14 ]\nit is such a familiar situation that anatole litvak has chosen to explore in his new french - made , american - minded , woman - angled\ngoodbye again\nthat the crux of its possible interest is not the question of who does what to whom . view full article in timesmachine \u00bb\nmany of the elements of the eon - produced bond films were not present in never say never again for legal reasons . these included the gun barrel sequence , where a screen full of 007 symbols appeared instead , and similarly there was no\njames bond theme\nto use , although no effort was made to supply another tune . [ 7 ] a pre - credits sequence was filmed but not used ; [ 15 ] instead the film opens with the credits run over the top of the opening sequence of bond on a training mission .

[ 24 ]\ndemoted to extra : despite appearing in the japanese poster , kyohei yamane ( takashi shimura ) only appears in one scene to discuss how to deal with godzilla after the previous event became a disaster . after that , he does not appear for the rest of the film .\nlove triangle : tsukioka is engaged to hidemi yamaji while kobayashi secretly pines for her . unlike the previous film where there were consequences that followed , kobayashi eventually became a hopeless suitor in a different way , and sees himself out . however , hidemi does mourn for him .\nformer eon productions ' editor and director of on her majesty ' s secret service , peter r . hunt , was approached to direct the film but declined due to his previous work with eon . [ 20 ] irvin kershner , who had achieved success in 1980 with the empire strikes back was then hired . a number of the crew from the 1981 film raiders of the lost ark were also appointed , including first assistant director david tomblin , director of photography douglas slocombe and production designers philip harrison and stephen grimes . [ 7 ] [ 15 ]\nprobably the only time i sighed during\nbegin again ,\nwhich used to carry the more provocative title\ncan a song save your life ?\nwhen it premiered at the toronto international film festival last fall , was the sight of mark ruffalo \u2019s scruffy record - label exec , dan , as he doffs his undies before jumping into the shower . no one can blame catherine keener , in yet another of her string of estranged bitter wife roles ( ok , she is good at them ) , for sneaking a sly peek after turning down his offer to join him in his sudsing .\nthe film is notable for depicting felix leiter , bond ' s cia colleague , as an african - american , something which would not occur in the eon series until casino royale in 2006 . the film also makes a major departure from official continuity by ending with bond indicating his intention to retire from mi6 - while bond had considered retirement in on her majesty ' s secret service , he is shown to be unsure of the decision and later chooses to stay with the service . in the scene where bond states his intention to quit , connery breaks the fourth wall by winking at the camera ; while this is incorrectly considered by many as being unique to this film , george lazenby was in fact the first bond to break the fourth wall almost 15 years earlier when he told the audience ,\nthis never happened to the other fellow\n( referring to connery , the man he had replaced as bond ) .\nlena ' s popularity as a music video director stems from her ability to create projects with captivating stories and production values far beyond their modest budgets . she now channels her experience in music videos into bringing a unique visual style to her film , and has honed an acute ability to reach into the international marketplace .\nthe latest film from writer - director john carney ( once ) , begin again is a soul - stirring comedy about what happens when lost souls meet and make beautiful music together . gretta ( keira knightley ) and her long - time boyfriend dave ( adam levine ) are college sweethearts and songwriting partners who decamp for new york when he lands a deal with a major label . but the trappings of his new - found fame soon tempt dave to stray , and a reeling , lovelorn gretta is left on her own . her world takes a turn for the better when dan ( mark ruffalo ) , a disgraced record - label exec , stumbles upon her performing on an east village stage and is immediately captivated by her raw talent . from this chance encounter emerges an enchanting portrait of a mutually transformative collaboration , set to the soundtrack of a summer in new york city . begin again is produced and financed by exclusive media and produced by anthony bregman , tobin armbrust and judd apatow . ( c ) weinstein\nthe flying saucer , largo ' s ship , is a translation of\nthe disco volante\n, the name of largo ' s ship in thunderball . in this film , the disco volante is a formidable vessel clearly based on a military cruiser hull , with a helipad and scale which dramatically dwarf the vessel present in the official film continuity . the disco is still the base of underwater operations by largo . in real life , the ship used in long shots was known as the\nnabila\nand was build for saudi billionaire , adnan kashoggi . the craft was later sold to donald trump who christened it the\ntrump princess .\n\u201chome again , \u201d a lifestyle comedy with a soup\u00e7on of pain , stars reese witherspoon as a perky los angeles mother of two coping with a perky divorce and perky career problems ( let\u2019s pause and take a breath before we get to her perky love life ) . it\u2019s the first feature written and directed by hallie meyers - shyer , whose [ \u2026 ]\nrecounting her first experience at the fest , aishwarya said :\nwe attended the festival not just as artistes but as proud representatives of indian cinema , and showcasing a film that meant so much to us . the kind of reception we got for the movie was truly overwhelming and i will cherish it all my life .\nbittersweet ending : godzilla is defeated , but at the cost of tsukioka ' s best friend ' s life . the film ends on a rather somber note as tsukioka pulls his f86 away , concluding with a slow zoom out of kamiko island . gigantis , with the magic of stock footage , ends on a decidedly forced , lighter note .\nearly installment weirdness : while some of these are de facto traits carried over from the previous film , godzilla still has his low pitched bellows , his fins don ' t light up when he breathes the heat - ray ( shortsightedness on behalf of the spfx crew ) , and he and his opponent are portrayed through puppetry much more frequently .\nwith its cast of extremely likable performers , the perfect summer - in - the - city backdrop\u2014in this case , new york\u2014and a soundtrack stuffed with catchy , well - produced hits ,\nbegin again\nmakes for easy - breezy entertainment . and it provides the perfect alternative to certain obnoxious boy toys that will be mangling the box office into their own private playpen this weekend .\nhome again stars reese witherspoon as alice kinney in a modern romantic comedy . recently separated from her husband , ( michael sheen ) , alice decides to start over by moving back to her hometown of los angeles with her two young daughters . during a night out on her 40th birthday , alice meets three aspiring filmmakers who happen to be in need of a place to live . alice agrees to let the guys stay in her guest house temporarily , but the arrangement ends up unfolding in unexpected ways . alice ' s unlikely new family and new romance comes to a crashing halt when her ex - husband shows up , suitcase in hand . home again is a story of love , friendship , and the families we create . and one very big life lesson : starting over is not for beginners .\ncompounding that lack of tension is the movie ' s genericism \u2014 its insipid writing and pedestrian direction , as well as the all but nonexistent chemistry between witherspoon and alexander . the latter is too slick by half , a cookie - cutter cutie without a glimmer of authentic personality . ( home again might have been more interesting had the less conventionally dreamy wolff or rudnitsky been cast as the love interest ) .\nwitherspoon doesn ' t have much to play with , though she gets to let loose in a scene that finds her drunkenly telling off one of her clients , a passive - aggressive yoga - mom snob played with gleeful obnoxiousness by lake bell . that character is a welcome shot of mischief ( she has a daughter named gwyneth ; make of that what you will ) in a movie that ' s otherwise nice to the point of numbness . at the same time , the send - up of suburban socal privilege feels disingenuous since the whole film \u2014 its people , situations and sensibilities \u2014 exists within that same realm of clueless entitlement . it ' s perhaps unsurprising that , apart from one fleeting exception , there ' s not a person of color in sight ; home again is vanilla in more ways than one .\ncharacterization marches on : since this godzilla will become the one in the 60 ' s and 70 ' s , in this film , his character ranged from an animalistic creature who is destructive as hell to a superhero with anthropomorphic tendencies . yes , this the same godzilla of the 60 ' s and mid ' 70 ' s of later films . his heisei counterpart remains the same creature he ' s always been .\nfor the main villain in the film , maximillian largo , connery suggested klaus maria brandauer , the lead of the 1981 academy award - winning hungarian film mephisto . [ 7 ] through the same route came max von sydow as ernst stavro blofeld , [ 15 ] although he still retained his eon - originated white cat in the film . [ 16 ] for the femme fatale , director irvin kershner selected former model and playboy cover girl barbara carrera to play fatima blush \u2013 the name coming from one of the early scripts of thunderball . [ 6 ] carrera ' s performance as fatima blush earned her a golden globe award nomination for best supporting actress , [ 17 ] which she lost to cher for her role in silkwood . [ 18 ] micheline connery , sean ' s wife , had met up - and - coming actress kim basinger at a hotel in london and suggested her to connery , which he agreed upon . [ 6 ] for the role of felix leiter , connery spoke with bernie casey , saying that as the leiter role was never remembered by audiences , using a black leiter might make him more memorable . [ 7 ] others cast included comedian rowan atkinson , who would later parody bond in his role of johnny english .

the writing in mr . brooks was so bad it became almost weird .\nmr . brooks is extremely intelligent , highly organized and he is very meticulous about everything that he does . he would not risk his sanity being questioned by others by acknowledging and speaking to marshall as if he were an actual person .\nside note : you know what would make mr . brooks so much better ? if dane cook and jane and meeks all had inner ids like william hurt following them around , and all the dark passengers met up periodically and pedeconferenced .\nall of my earlier commentary notwithstanding , this is truly a devious and entertaining title . brooks\u2019 genuine torment , and the brooks - darker - brooks interactions , are well done ; even the budding - monstrous daughter has her moments , particularly in the jump - scare denouement , which practically begs for a daughter - grows - up , daughter - inherits - the - darker - self continuation .\nwell - respected businessman earl brooks ( kevin costner ) has a secret : beneath his family - man facade lurks a murderous alter - ego named marshall ( william hurt ) . brooks struggles with his addiction to killing , but marshall enjoys his grisly hobby too much to let go . finally , brooks resolves to commit one final murder , but a voyeur ( dane cook ) witnesses it and blackmails him to continue . with a detective ( demi moore ) hot on his trail , brooks / marshall must spin an increasingly elaborate web .\ntracy is the most wooden screen performance of ms . moore\u2019s career . looking exhausted and tense , the actress is as expressive as a wax museum effigy . that is not the case with mr . costner and mr . hurt , who pull out the stops to play a horror - movie tag team . in their scenes together mr . costner\u2019s sinister but tortured earl and mr . hurt\u2019s gleefully sociopathic marshall do a sadomasochistic soft shoe of psychological bullying and whining .\nearl brooks ( kevin costner ) is a loving family man and a local business icon . but mr . brooks is deeply flawed and very aware of it . he is addicted to killing . struggling with his pathology , he tries to quit , but his alter - ego ,\nmarshall\n( william hurt ) , has an altogether different idea . detective tracy atwood ( demi moore ) , battling with her own demons , is extremely frustrated at the lack of clues left by the mysterious killer . when brooks is compelled to perform one last murder , he gets sloppy and is seen by a voyeuristic neighbor . unexpectedly turned - on by what he sees , the prying neighbor , mr . smith ( dane cook ) , has an unusual and disturbing blackmail demand . with detective atwood on his trail , mr . brooks and\nmarshall\nare forced to play out an increasingly elaborate game .\ndjawadi makes good use of a theme to underscore the scenes in which the murderous animal inside brooks is revealed \u2013 a kind of \u2018nasty \\ ' theme , if you will . relying heavily on synthesized and filtered sounds and a steady driving rhythm ( at times evoking a cardiac monitor ) , the theme suggests the measured steadiness \u2013 and the coldness \u2013 of mr brooks \\ ' s approach to killing .\nmr . brooks , marshall and mr . smith are stalking the truck - driving asshole . by some fully implausible twist of fate , meeks and his manly girlfriend are in the same parking lot as the truck - driving asshole , and mr . brooks decides to kill him instead , i think ? this part is nebulous , even in the screenplay . mr . smith is pouty that he keeps getting jerked around . he wants to kill someone now , dammit ! he stalks off and marshall wins my eternal love and devotion by musing , \u201ceven if that guy was charming and funny , i still wouldn\u2019t like him . \u201d it\u2019s satisfying because william hurt is talking about dane cook , although to be fair , the same could be said about this entire movie .\nit would , in all likeliness , be all around terrible and do nothing more than open the door for turning ' mr . brooks ' into another freddy krueger and taking what was an under appreciated , surprisingly slick story and turning it into a disappointing franchise .\nnot every movie needs a sequel , and i think mr brooks is one of those . it works so well on it ' s own that i can ' t imagine what benefit another one of those movies could have . it is an awesome movie though .\nso many characters with so much trite , stupid back story . so many serial killers . so many twists . so many dropped storylines . such a weak - ass ending . meet mr . brooks . but there\u2019s a reason mr . brooks can\u2019t die at the end even though we\u2019re not even slightly invested in him as a character : the writer / director is planning a trilogy . may i make some suggestions for the sequels ? the second film should be called jane brooks and somehow make the daughter matter in the goddamn slightest . mr . brooks can tutor jane in the art of serial killing with competence , and jane can get her own dark passenger , played by sarah jessica parker . atwood starts investigating her murders while yet another one of the serial killers she\u2019s put behind bars escapes and stalks her , and her other ex - husband sues her for support , so the second movie can be exactly like this movie in every way except for the smallest particulars . kind of like back to the future ii , but with serial killers . and the third movie will of course be called baby brooks , where jane\u2019s baby grows up to also become a serial killer . what this trilogy really needs are more serial killers . mrs . brooks should be a serial killer . atwood , too ! mr . brooks\u2019 bitchy assistant at the box company , other cop , atwood\u2019s attorney : all serial killers ! get to work , bruce a . evans . we\u2019re breathless with anticipation .\n. . . . the contents of your safety deposit box , mr . smith . . . have vanished !\ncritical reaction to mr . brooks was decidedly mixed , with some praising the darkness of the story and others claiming the film contained too many sub - plots to be enjoyable . audience reaction mirrored that of the critics to a point . while the film did manage to turn a small profit ( despite being released in the middle of a typical blockbuster - filled summer ) , its returns were not enough to either consider mr . brooks a success or continue with the proposed sequels that costner himself had announced during the movie\u2019s press tour .\nmr . brooks\u2019 rude - ass assistant interrupts this inappropriate father - daughter moment to bring him an envelope from the gentleman in the lobby . mr . brooks opens the envelope to find pictures of himself in the dance couple\u2019s bedroom . twist ! the photographer ? none other than dane cook , looking pasty and priggish and far too pleased with himself . ( i\u2019m reading the screenplay as a dialogue refresher , and it describes the character as \u201cpleasant looking . \u201d he isn\u2019t . i didn\u2019t realize until this very moment that he was supposed to be . )\nfor mr . soderbergh , that route was a nonstarter . \u201cyou\u2019re way too far away from your money , \u201d he said .\nokay ! it\u2019s almost over ! mr . brooks sits in a cafe chatting with marshall , telling him he doesn\u2019t intend to kill again . marshall is understandably skeptical . mr . brooks reads a newspaper article trumpeting the resolution of the thumbprint killer\u2019s case , because dane cook left a pool of piss at the sleazy ex - husband\u2019s house . i wouldn\u2019t exactly call that \u201cresolved , \u201d since nobody will ever find mr . smith\u2019s body , but i guess it makes a good headline . mr . brooks steals a cell phone and randomly heads to a roof to call atwood and ask her , in the most non - sequitury non - sequitur of the entire movie , why she decided to become a cop . he tells her that he killed her ex - husband and his hot lawyer and sent atwood to meeks\u2019 apartment ( twist ! ) as a gift , and she realizes that the pissing mr . smith is not the thumbprint killer . atwood answers his question , so that we may receive yet even more unwanted insight into her personal life : her dad always wanted a son or some shit .\nof the score tracks , the most impressive are usually the most emotive .\nher story\nunderscores one of the most effective scenes in the film , where mr brooks is forced to confront the truth about his daughter . it \\ ' s one of the rare moments in the film where the score dominates the soundtrack , and djawadi rises to the occasion , capturing the melancholy and frustration of brooks \\ ' realisation .\nsuicide note\nopens in a surprisingly pleasant fashion , giving the thematic material a sensual and urbane sensibility through the use of snare drum and ride cymbal , but by its end turns to snarling , distorted electric guitars to reflect the more sinister aspects of mr brooks \\ ' lifestyle .\nthe first plot strand is merely mr . brooks and his quasi - struggle with his \u201ckiller urges\u201d which are , for some reason , personified as a rival personality named marshall ( and played by william hurt ) . other than this marshall aspect , brooks is an upstanding business mogul and philanthropist who muddles through his boring life until his troubled daughter ( danielle panabaker ) drops out of college and shows up at home . to top it off , brooks suspects that his pretty - in - pink offspring may have similarly murderous drives . serial killer - ism is apparently genetic . who knew ?\nmr . brooks [ dvd videorecording ] / element films and relativity media present in association with eden rock media ; a tig production ; produced by kevin costner , raynold gideon , jim wilson ; written by bruce a . evans & raynold gideon ; directed by bruce a . evans .\nhe wants to stop killing , so he decides to have mr . smith ( dane cook ) kill him after he takes him on his first kill . mr . brooks , with mr . smith , kills det . atwood ' s ( demi moore ) ex - husband and his lawyer and gives her information on how to find the escaped killer she ' s also been looking for . he helped her because he respects the fact that she made herself into a good cop even though she came from money and didn ' t need to .\nthis film was excellent quality , it explored so many interesting aspects of a serial killer , a very smart killer who breaks the patterns of the quintesential serial killer , not to mention a father ' s love for his wife and daughter . i anxiously look forward to the next mr . brooks and i hope they go into more detail of a serial killers preperation and thought pattern . in addition i would like to see demi moores involvement and possibly mr . brooks abstaining from killing but his daughters urges increasing and the perfection of the killing becoming more intelligent and efficient .\nmarshall is a creepy flesh - and - blood extrapolation of the inner voice inside anyone who has considered raising hell for the sheer thrill of it . in the world of \u201cmr . brooks , \u201d there\u2019s no greater kick than acting like a really bad boy and getting away with it .\ni loved mr . brooks . the ending was great and unexpected . i really do hope they make a sequel , but don ' t screw it up . i also hope the movie can find a larger audience on dvd . i know i will be buying it on the 23rd .\ndahl\u2019s book ends with mr . fox and his family and friends hiding deep underground from the farmers who are awaiting the chance to kill them . despite the depths of their isolation , however , mr . fox has found a steady source of food for them\u2014the farmers\u2019 own storehouses :\n\u201cafter years of shooting my mouth off about absolute creative control , we\u2019re going to attempt to do it , \u201d mr . soderbergh said .\nso far , mr . soderbergh has spent only about 15 percent of his \u201clogan lucky\u201d advertising budget . with only three weeks until release , studios would have typically spent 40 percent . but mr . soderbergh believes that the vast majority of marketing should come immediately before a film\u2019s release .\nokay , shit\u2019s finally about to get awesomely retarded . mr . brooks returns home to find cops waiting for him . they want to talk to jane ! there was a murder in her dorm , and her bmw was involved . she tells the cops it was stolen , but mr . brooks knows better . twist ! jane brooks is our serial killer number four ! she killed some guy ( her baby\u2019s father , one presumes ) with a hatchet . so beautifully , blissfully stupid ! mr . brooks cries and prays in the kitchen instead of the bathroom for once . \u201cshe has what i have ! it\u2019s my fault ! \u2019 marshall\u2019s like , \u201cdude , she is almost definitely going to kill you next . so she can take over the box business . let her go to jail . \u201d mr . brooks decides instead to cover jane\u2019s sloppy , murderous ineptitude , so he gathers some fake id documents from his ceramics studio and then heads to stanford , donning increasingly hilarious disguises as he does so . first , on the plane out there , he looks like billy ray cyrus in a canadian tuxedo . then , carrying a hatchet in a duffle bag on the stanford campus , he pulls off jeff foxworthy in a snap button shirt and cargo pants . finally , on his way home , he\u2019s a full - bearded , silver - haired professor with a cane . it is absolutely delightful , my friends .\nmr . brooks is a 2007 psychological thriller starring kevin costner as earl brooks , who is a successful businessman and family man living in portland , or . who is also a highly prolific serial killer known as the thumbprint killer . the film undoubtedly owes much of its plot points to showtime ' s dexter , but was nonetheless a fresh take on the concept and filled with great performances . it wasn ' t an overall success , thanks to mixed reviews from critics and a modest box office take of $ 48 million ( from a budget of $ 20 million ) . it was originally supposed to launch a start of a trilogy of films , but those plans were put on hold indefinitely after its release . mr . brooks marked one of kevin costner ' s most interesting and unique rolls in a long time , and though this film can easily be enjoyed on its own and very much tells a solo story , it ' s easy to see how a sequel could expand on the narrative explored here and dive even deeper into the psyche of mr . brooks and how his inherent darkness affects his family .\nwho knew that serial killing is an addiction that sufferers hope to overcome by attending a . a . meetings and murmuring the serenity prayer ? that , at least , is how the buttoned - up title character of \u201cmr . brooks , \u201d a nutty variation of \u201cdr . jekyll and mr . hyde , \u201d deals with such inconvenient urges . \u201ci\u2019m an addict , \u201d he announces at a 12 - step meeting while withholding the true nature of his cravings .\nmr . brooks attends aa meetings to keep the darkness at bay , all the while marshall ranting at him for being a fucking hypocrite . mr . brooks isn\u2019t going to kill ever again . this is about 15 minutes into the movie , so we\u2019ll see how that turns out . we get to see mr . brooks at work : he owns a box company . he says the words \u201cbox business\u201d a lot and i laugh . his college freshman daughter , the utterly forgettable danielle panabaker , shows up in a cab to tell him she dropped out of school . she hangs onto his neck , their faces centimeters apart , for several minutes too long . then she sits on his lap for several more minutes . she wants to live at home , pay no rent or bills , and she refuses to live by a curfew or rules . she loaned a friend her bmw ; she\u2019s not sure when she\u2019ll get it back . meet jane brooks . she sucks so much . she tells him she\u2019d like to take over the family box business ( heh ) one day , and she takes his glasses off his face and puts them on hers . it\u2019s a metaphor ! he playfully spanks her bottom when she gets up from his lap , and the whole thing is just abominably gross and wrong . the whole time , marshall is whispering that jane isn\u2019t telling mr . brooks something . like maybe that it makes her uncomfortable when her father touches her ass .\nkevin costner definitely gives it the old college try , you know ? you can tell he thinks this shit is pretty cool . he rocks the middle america blandness that masks mr . brooks\u2019 bleak depths . the thing is that by casting william hurt as mr . brooks\u2019 violent , sexual id , hurt is the only one having any fun in the movie , while coster just gets to be bland white bread . demi moore is joyless and paper - thin in a role with an inexplicable amount of screen time . with a better actress or a better script , the audience might care about the detective obsessively haunting mr . brooks\u2019 steps , but this isn\u2019t the fugitive and demi moore is no tommy lee jones . we don\u2019t care . and dane cook is dane fucking cook . of every baffling decision the director made in the writing , casting and production of this film that he ostensibly wants to succeed , hiring the sapless comedian for such a hefty role earns the biggest wtf ? of all .\nserial killers are people too and , in the case of mr brooks , quite sensitive actually . kevin costner slips into the role with ease , battling his inner demon ( played by an oily william hurt ) and striving to protect his family from the truth . it ' s a cleverly plotted story , mixing thrills and domestic spills but writer / director bruce a evans does overcomplicate matters . despite numerous cutesy twists , it ' s the gradual unveiling of a warped morality that lures you into brooks ' world .\nconsidering the thread had nothing to with dane cook , as opposed to the movie mr . brooks , i was making an attempt at humor regarding a seemingly universal love of hating on dane cook . yes , sometimes sarcasm and straight text do not mesh well , but i ( and apparently 3 others ) thought it was pretty obvious .\nat this point , earl again decides he no longer wishes to kill but knows his compulsion is too great . he devises a plan to write a letter of explanation to his family that he is terminally ill and leaving to save them the pain of watching his demise . he researches the history of detective tracy atwood ( demi moore ) , the lead investigator searching for the thumbprint killer ( earl ) and determines that her soon - to - be - ex husband , jesse vialo , will be mr . smith ' s first victim . mr . smith , however , is not a seasoned killer and leaves his dna at the crime scene , foiling the plan completely . angered , smith pulls a gun on mr . brooks , which earl considered , only to learn that the firing pin has been bent . brooks ' brush with death makes him realize that dna will pin the vialo murder on mr . smith and that seeing his grandchild is worth more than walking away from his life .\nthere was talk of a trilogy , but from what i read it was based on how well the movie did in the box office . hopefully they realize it has gained a cult following since . also costner was only interested in the film because there was talk of multiple films . i would love to see more of mr . brooks !\nthe main drawback with thrillers in general is that by this time , everyone knows the conventions of the genre so thoroughly that it\u2019s hard to surprise audiences anymore . mr . brooks manages to temporarily dispel that myth by offering up a colorfully multi - layered entry into the genre which is literally quite unlike most which have come before . most , if not all , of this can be attributed to the film\u2019s unique architecture and the various subplots within , all of which seamlessly come together in the end . in an era where audiences can see everything coming a mile away , mr . brooks is that rare collage of a thriller where very few , if any , moves can be anticipated .\nmelancon said brown didn ' t respond for four days , when he forwarded the original e -

ed columnist for the new york times in september 2003 . his column appears every tuesday and friday . he is currently a commentator on \u201cpbs newshour , \u201d npr\u2019s \u201call things considered\u201d and nbc\u2019s \u201cmeet the press . \u201d\nmr . brooks definitely belongs to the serial killer genre , especially given its scenes of violence , which prove just dark enough for a glossy production such as this to come off as reputable . there are also plenty of scenes in which earl devilishly revels in his favorite maniacal pastime while also trying to fight against it . this is more than brilliantly played out in the moments between him and marshall , who acts as a sort of anti - jiminy cricket , taunting earl and preying on his need to spill blood . it\u2019s clear that marshall represents the dark and sinister yet comforting voice most addicts succumb and cling to . in fact , where mr . brooks really surprises is in the way in which it paints the act of serial killing as an addiction , a disease almost on par with alcoholism in which earl\u2019s need to kill and the satisfaction he draws from it imparts a one - of - a - kind high .\nthe financial story of \u201clogan lucky , \u201d which arrives in theaters on aug . 18 , starts in the fall of 2014 . according to mr . soderbergh , a \u201cfriend\u201d asked him to read the script , about a ragtag group that robs a nascar track , and suggest a director . mr . soderbergh said he loved the idea ( ocean\u2019s 7 - eleven , if you will ) and wanted to direct the film himself .\nthe movie also commits one of my biggest pet peeves , which is the \u201cunnecessary hobby to give characters the appearance of depth and also provide some incredibly convenient plot points\u201d peeve . so , mr . brooks is an amateur potter . he has a studio where he tells his wife at night that he is going to \u201ctest out some glazes\u201d as a perfect alibi for \u201ctesting out some murders . \u201d after murders he comes home and burns the evidence in a kiln .\na second strand emerges after brooks\u2019 latest killings , wherein he barged in on a pair of boinking socialites only to be witnessed and photographed by a wanking voyeur ( dane cook ) . cook\u2019s character , who is never named , tries to blackmail brooks so that - get this - brooks will instruct him in the delicate art of murder ! i\u2019ve already said that costner is unconvincing as an everyman who moonlights as a murderer , but dane cook is positively embarrassing in the same role . as we\u2019ve already seen , dane cook has long worn out his welcome in the media , but this film role actually comes dangerously close to meta -

deprecating professor\u2019s voice .\nand in 2011 , a tiger killed a lion with a single paw swipe in a run in at ankara zoo in turkey . the tiger apparently found a gap in the fence , and made its way into the lion\u2019s enclosure . when they met , the tiger severed the lion\u2019s jugular vein in just one stroke . craig saffoe , a biologist at the smithsonian zoo , also generally favored the tiger , telling livescience , \u201cwhat i\u2019ve seen from tigers , they seem to be more aggressive ; they go for the throat , go for the kill . whereas the lions are more , \u2018i will just pound you and play with you . \u2019\u201d\nbut even as it drags through a pedestrian middle section , \u201clion\u201d remains a cut above the kind of sturdy middlebrow drama its premise calls to mind by doubling down on patel\u2019s performance . as he grows more disheveled and introverted , he\u2019s infuriated and guilt - ridden by the privilege surrounding him and haunted by fleeting memories of his past , patel delivers his most intricate performance since \u201cslumdog millionaire , \u201d to which \u201clion\u201d bears a notable comparison .\nthe lion ' s story isn ' t much of one . when dorothy asks him what makes him a coward , he responds ,\nit ' s a mystery . i suppose i was born that way .\nbut memories of his long - ago life haunt him , and the arrival of new technology raises the tantalizing possibility of a return to his first home . using google earth , saroo sets out to retrace , on the computer screen and on sheets of paper tacked to his bedroom wall , his accidental journey . it\u2019s not a fast or easy process , and the effort takes an emotional toll on him , on his parents and on lucy . but you know , even if you\u2019re not familiar with the true story behind \u201clion , \u201d that the fairy tale will come true .\ncaspian ' s nurse is not seen in the film , nor is she mentioned and it was doctor cornelius who told caspian the stories of narnia .\nin the film , peter gives caspian his sword to keep before the pevensies leave . in the book , he was given susan ' s horn .\nand a month after opening in north america to qualify for the hollywood awards season \u2013 landing four golden globe nominations and expected to be competing for multiple oscars including best picture in the new year \u2013 lion has finally come home .\nat the golden globes , lion is up for best motion picture drama , best supporting actor for patel , best supporting actress for kidman and best original score . patel and kidman have also been nominated for screen actors guild awards .\nthis is a competent film version of reporter george plimpton ' s ill - fated attempt to be a nfl quarterback . although alan alda does a good job as plimpton , the real joy of this film is in the way it unintentionally documents the sense of community shared among the teammates ( many of those used in this film were actual football players , including alex karras of\nwebster\nfame ) before money , egos , and greed corrupted the sport .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nin the book , lucy first enters the wardrobe while they were exploring the house . in the film , she enters while playing hide and go seek .\nin the film , eustace faints when he sees that the animals can talk whereas in the book , he dismisses reepicheep as a\nperforming animal\n.\nany nerves dissipated with a standing ovation for the film and another rousing reception when brierley and his adoptive parents sue and john joined the filmmakers on stage .\nrichard lawson is a columnist for vanity fair ' s hollywood , reviewing film and television and covering entertainment news and gossip . he lives in new york city .\nin the book , the river god was released after the bridge was destroyed . in the film , the river god destroys the bridge after aslan wakes him up .\n7 . a female children\u2019s doctor checks on danny after he collapses at the hotel in the film but in the book he\u2019s male and the go to his office .\nin the book , the children and the beavers had already got out before the wolves came , but in the film the children had to go through the tunnel to escape .\nthe film opens with caspian ' s flight . in the book , trumpkin told the pevensies of caspian and his story after they had been in cair paravel for two days .\nin the film , rhince is a narrowhaven citizen who joins the voyage to find his wife . in the book , rhince is a high member of the dawn treader crew .\n\u201charvey\u2019s baaack , \u201d scott feinberg , a longtime academy awards handicapper for the hollywood reporter , said on twitter . in a subsequent article analyzing \u201clion , \u201d mr . feinberg wrote , \u201cthe nature of its story and reception suggests , to me , that embattled harvey is headed back to the place where he\u2019s most at home : the oscars . \u201d \u201clion\u201d is based on saroo brierley\u2019s heart - wrenching memoir ( with larry buttrose ) recounting his days on the streets as a boy , adoption and eventual quest to find his birth mother .\njust when it begins to stumble into a cycle of shrill melodrama , \u201clion\u201d regains its initial intrigue as a detective story . saroo spends late nights sifting through digital maps and crunching numbers to determine his origins , bringing fresh context to the engaging moments that open the film . it\u2019s no secret that the effort pays off , and \u201clion\u201d makes the trip worthwhile not only for mother and son but for the audience as well . the reunion earns its tears by arriving at the end of a strenuous journey that begins by accident and concludes only through sheer determination . it\u2019s the rare sappy finale that doesn\u2019t force the feels ; they\u2019re built into the drama so well that davis only needs to connect the dots and let the material do the rest .\nin the film , the narnians launch an attack on miraz ' s castle . in the book , an attack on miraz ' s castle was considered , but the idea was abandoned .\nin the book , caspian flirts with lilliandil by referencing sleeping beauty . in the film , he states in a formal manner that she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen .\ntrue stories of the somebody - got - famous kind are a dime a dozen in cinema . but the one in lion , involves no one you\u2019ve ever heard of , doesn\u2019t star a soul you\u2019ll recognise for its first 40 minutes , and will rip you into a thousand pieces .\nin the film , eustace addresses his parents as\nmother\nand\nfather\nwhilst in the book , he addresses them by their names ,\nalberta\nand\nharold\n.\nin the book , lilliandil ' s dress is blue whilst in the film , her dress is white , though the colour of her starly glow is blue as she is a blue star .\nbut if you\u2019ve read the book and watched the film , it\u2019s pretty obvious stanley went in a very different direction with his interpretation of stephen\u2019s story , which the writer wasn\u2019t too impressed with .\nproved , and no one caught up in the sweaty tornado of edward\u2019s fiction will be wondering what\u2019s going on back in the antiseptic apartments and feebly satirised art happenings that define susan\u2019s life . it\u2019s not that the film within the film is necessarily better \u2013 it was disastrous , for ins\u00adtance , to cast taylor - johnson as an uncouth psychopath . when brad pitt played a similar part in\nthe 1967 detroit lions are as much the star of paper lion as alan alda , and do the best they can playing pranks on the actor , awkwardly singing their schools ' fight songs , and making sure the future hawkeye pierce doesn ' t get maimed . the filmmakers must have thought a feminine presence was needed , so lauren hutton is brought along to take a few snapshots , indulge in a second - unit montage catching a plane at jfk , and try to prove that alda is more masculine than at first glance . david doyle , the future bosley from charlie ' s angels , drops in to give alda a few suggestions on his next project . an uncredited but definitely recognizable roy scheider shows up to play a little touch football in the beginning .\nryan 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\nmodern classics\nseries ( bfi publishing ) . he was named reviewer of the year in the 2007 press gazette awards and is film critic in residence at falmouth university .\nmost stories of adopted children searching for their biological parents spring from an \u201cemptiness\u201d , a feeling of \u201cnot belonging\u201d . lion , based on a true story , explores the void as not an absence of love but a presence that hollows out everything else . love fills every corner , every frame , every memory , as lion looks at the world , from the swamp of kolkata to the pristine seas of an australian island , through the eyes of a five - year - old . it\u2019s a view you may have lost sight of ; it\u2019s a view you won\u2019t forget in a hurry .\npundits are not critics , of course , and insta - reviews from trade publications were mixed . some saw a well - made art - house crowd pleaser in \u201clion , \u201d which is set for release on nov . 25 and directed by garth davis in his feature - film debut . ( until now , mr . davis has been primarily known for commercials , including \u201c ninja kittens \u201d for toyota . ) but a few other critics were underwhelmed , with peter debruge of variety especially cutting .\nin the film , while reading , susan meets a boy who has an unrequited crush on her , and peter gets himself and edmund into a fight . there are no such occurrences in the book .\nin the book , the pevensies turn back after they find a town at beruna and a bridge built over the ford . in the film , they find the bridge still under construction by telmarine soldiers .\nbut fighting in an arena , and even in a zoo , is quite different than fighting in the wild . if a tiger were to meet a lion without cages or screaming fans , what would happen ? that\u2019s actually a question that some conservationists are having to answer right now . there\u2019s a plan to move some asiatic lions to from the gir forest to kuno palpur , where there are tigers . the university of minessota\u2019s lion research center says that the plan has been delayed for fear that the native tigers would kill the lions . but in the wild , they say , tigers and lions fight quite differently :\nin the book , caspian is a young teenage boy of thirteen ; the same age as susan . in the film , he is coming of age ( and therefore closer to peter ' s age ) .\nin the film , dr . cornelius tells caspian that miraz killed his father after caspian rescues him from prison . in the book , dr . cornelius reveals this secret to caspian when helping him to escape .\nin the film , lord bern had not left narrowhaven because he had been captured and imprisoned by the slave traders . in the book , he had not left because he had married and settled down there .\nin the film , eustace and jill pole are already friends as jill is mentioned to be visiting eustace at the end of the film . jill is not mentioned in the book , but in its sequel\nthe silver chair\n. initially they were not friends and only knew each other by surname ; in fact , jill loathed eustace for following the gang of bullies at their school ( before he changed ) .\nin the book , lucy ' s second time into narnia and edmund ' s first was while playing hide - and - go - seek . in the film , it was in the middle of the night .\nin the film , trumpkin is captured by the telmarine soldiers who chase caspian into the woods when he intervenes in caspian ' s flight . in the book , he was captured on his journey to cair paravel .\nsimilarly , the sea serpent was a dumb brute that the dawn treader is able to slip away from before deathwater island . in the film , it appears at the end as another manifestation of the green mist .\ndespite the comic relief from the hyenas , the meerkat and the warthog ,\nthe lion king\nis a little more subdued than\nmermaid ,\nbeauty\nand\naladdin .\nthe central theme is a grim one : a little cub is dispossessed , and feels responsible for the death of its father .\njust as for the king ' s speech , which won best picture and director at the oscars five years ago , american distributor the weinstein company wanted to open lion in the us first to build awareness during the awards season . the plan is to give it a wider release around the time it opens in australia next month .\nif the shoot changed his life , the film itself initially did little to alter mr . patel\u2019s prospects in hollywood . \u201ci wasn\u2019t getting cast after \u2018slumdog , \u2019\u201d he said . at times , the breakthrough film even worked against him . he wasn\u2019t allowed to audition for the south asian title character of \u201clife of pi , \u201d ang lee\u2019s 2012 adventure fantasy , he said , because the filmmakers thought he had become overexposed . suraj sharma , who eventually landed the role , \u201cdid an amazing job , and the film blew me away , but there\u2019s a part of me that\u2019s like , damn , i wish i could have at least taken a shot at it . \u201d\nalong with \u201clion , \u201d the weinstein company is gearing up for the end -

lion face - off wasn\u2019t uncommon . in 1959 , a reader asked the spokesman - review this question , and the paper , in turn , asked william bridges , the curator of publications at the bronx zoo . he told them that \u201cback in the day of the roman coliseum , the smart money usually backed the tiger . \u201d while we don\u2019t have any great descriptions of the outcomes , ancient paintings of the event usually showed the tiger winning . and in the late 1800\u2032s , the gaekwad of baroda , an indian ruler , arranged a fight between the two beasts . before the fight began , those running the bettor set the odds at 1 to 37 , 000 that the tiger would win . it did , and the gaekwad lost 37 , 000 rupees .\nmr . weinstein was not available for an interview , according to david glasser , the weinstein company\u2019s president and chief operating officer . for his part , mr . glasser , speaking by telephone on monday night , said that his studio made a strategic decision to keep as much of a lid on \u201clion\u201d as possible ahead of the toronto event .\na biplane pilot who had missed flying in wwi takes up barnstorming and later a movie career in his quest for the glory he had missed , eventually getting a chance to prove himself in a film . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe film begins with lucy telling the others about narnia and the wardrobe , and the events in narnia with mr . tumnus are shown as a flashback . in the book , these events are shown before she tells everyone about them .\nin the film , miraz isn ' t crowned king until after the night - raid . in the book , he had been the king for years as he was crowned shortly after he secretly murdered his brother , king caspian ix .\nin the film , caspian blows susan ' s horn during his flight after falling from his horse , just outside trufflehunter ' s home . in the book , he blew the horn at aslan ' s how after meeting the narnians .\nin the book , reepicheep challenges eustace to a duel before arriving at the lone islands ; this challenge is replaced with a duel between caspian and edmund in the film and reepicheep and eustace later have their own duel after visiting narrowhaven .\nhis movie company , troubled by executive departures and box - office misfires , had neither the money nor the manpower needed to sustain an awards campaign , hollywood conventional wisdom held . and mr . weinstein\u2019s primary contender this time around , \u201c lion , \u201d an adoption drama set in india and based on an astonishing true story , was generating virtually no tastemaker buzz .\nthe lion king\nis the first disney animated feature not based on an existing story . in another sense , it is based on half the stories in classical mythology . it tells the tale of the birth , childhood and eventual manhood of simba , a lion cub . the cub ' s birth is announced in the opening sequence of the movie , called\nthe circle of life ,\nwhich is an evocative collaboration of music and animation to show all of the animals of the african veld gathering to hail their future king . the cute little cub is held aloft from a dramatic spur of rock , and all his future minions below hail him , in a staging that looks like the jungle equivalent of a political rally .\nthe famed slugger is played by bendix , who resembles ruth slightly in looks and not at all in baseball ability . the film traces the\nlife and times\nof ruth , including his famous\ncalled . . . see full summary \u00bb\n9 . danny\u2019s imaginary friend tony is only seen by him and gets closer and closer as the story unfolds in the book but in the film tony isn\u2019t seen at all and danny uses his little finger to identify his pal . super weird .\nin the book , lucy wants to stay with edmund to see him recover , but aslan tells her to go help the others before it is too late for them . in the film , edmund recovers quickly and lucy goes to help the others .\nin the film , doctor cornelius is arrested and thrown into prison by miraz after caspian ' s flight and is rescued by caspian during the attack on the castle . in the book , doctor cornelius escaped the castle shortly after helping caspian to flee .\n35 . there\u2019s also a black and white painting that john sees in the book that makes him think he\u2019s going to be damned but that doesn\u2019t appear in the film , just a black and white photo of party guests with jack in the middle .\nthat dichotomy comes to bear on the second half of the film , when saroo is older : a man in his 20s whose life has been largely comfortable , but who has a deepening yearning at his center . when at a party in melbourne , a sense memory triggers a recollection of his life in india , and saroo becomes determined to track down the family he lost . the remarkable thing about the real - life saroo is that he eventually found his hometown largely by using google maps , tracing train routes and distances until stumbling upon some topography he recognized . the trouble for lion as a movie is that none of this is terribly dynamic to watch . so davis , and the screenwriter luke davies , focus more on saroo\u2019s moodiness and internal struggle . his emotions are certainly warranted , but in the film , all this ( for lack of a better word ) moping , becomes repetitive .\nin the film , caspian forms an attraction to susan , which results in susan kissing caspian goodbye before the pevensies leave . in the book , however , caspian was never attracted to susan , nor did she ever kiss him for they only met briefly .\nin the film , all four pevensies leave their shoes on the beach and explore the cair paravel ruins barefoot after paddling . in the book , lucy and edmund are the only ones to go barefoot , and susan berates them into bringing their shoes with them .\nin the film , caspian meets all four of the pevensies before arriving at aslan ' s how . in the book , he only met peter and edmund at aslan ' s how and didn ' t meet susan and lucy until after the battle was over .\nin the book , eustace was unable to follow the dawn treader at sea until aslan changed him back from a dragon . in the film , eustace remains transformed until the end , and is curiously able to pull the ship when there ' s no wind .\nlike the 3 other movie adaptions of the lion , the witch , and the wardrobe , when edmund asks for more turkish delight . the white witch angrily snaps\nnoooooooooooooooo ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !\nat him , before she says\nno\ngently to him . in the books , she was content with edmund when he asked for more turkish delight and laughed .\ncoalitions of male lions usually fight as a group against territorial rivals , so a tiger may have an advantage in a one - on - one encounter , since this is the typical mode of combat for a tiger . however , a lion coalition of 2\u20133 males would have a clear advantage over a lone tiger . a group of 2\u20134 female lions would have a similar advantage over a lone tigress .\nbeverly hills , calif . \u2014 dev patel wanted the lead role in the forthcoming film \u201c lion \u201d so badly that he showed up at the los angeles home of the screenwriter luke davies in 2013 to plead for the part . from the moment the young actor heard of the project , he had been intrigued by its improbable story and conflicted hero . the director garth davis was there , too , and the three settled in over fresh ginger tea . but then mr . patel noticed a whiteboard covered in a blizzard of post - its . he looked at the notes . \u201ci was like , wait , you haven\u2019t done the script yet ? \u201d he said .\n6 . danny has a vision and sees basically everything that will happen in the book from \u2018redrum\u2019 to his dad and a mallet , but not the grady twins . in the film he only sees the twins and that famous flood of blood coming out the elevator .\ninsistent movie executives and his own love for martial arts \u2014 \u201ci\u2019m the biggest bruce lee fan , \u201d he said \u2014 led him to take a role in \u201cthe last airbender , \u201d an action fantasy film whose budget dwarfed that of \u201cslumdog . \u201d the movie was a\nunfortunate as it is to say about a movie largely about indian people , one of the most striking performances in the film belongs to nicole kidman , who plays saroo\u2019s adoptive mother . she has one scene in particular , in which she explains to saroo why she and her husband chose adoption , that is , beyond the teary reunion , the emotional centerpiece of the film . kidman just plays it so well , and it\u2019s so thoughtfully written . i\u2019ve no doubt the weinsteins have her performance primed and ready for a supporting - actress run .\nstill , the story of lion is pretty incredible , and it features a final reunion that , i think , would soften even the hardest of hearts . the film is shot beautifully by greig fraser , working in a kind of poetic realism . and it\u2019s got a host of strong performances . young sunny pawar , who plays saroo as a boy , is adorable , which , yes , may be a strange thing to say about a performance in a movie with such heavy subject matter , but what can you do . he\u2019s a cute little kid , and he instantly wins our sympathy and concern . adult saroo is played by dev patel , who works in a more somber tone than we\u2019re used to seeing from him . saroo is torn between homes , between lives , and patel effectively communicates that tension . but , again , the same beats get played over and over again . eventually you just want the film to hurry up and get saroo back to india .\nin the book , the children are waiting for the trains to take them to school at a country railway station , which is almost empty . in the film , they are on the crowded london underground , making it unclear how the four children could disappear without anyone noticing .\n19 . midway through the book danny goes in 217 , sees his odd double in the mirror and the old lady , and when john enters he sees a dry bath . midway through the film jack goes in 237 snogs the wet woman who then turns into a decomposing old body .\npatel , so often encouraged to be cutely na\u00efve , exudes all the right kinds of pain here , but also gives saroo a bitter , self - flagellating core which feels like an especially brave choice , in a role ( and film ) which infinitely improve on his breakthrough in slumdog millionaire .\nin the book , the ship is caught up in a violent storm for two weeks after departing narrowhaven and arrives at dragon ' s island badly damaged . in the film , the storm comes after departing magician ' s island and before arriving at goldwater island and no serious damage is caused .\nin the book , aslan appears to eustace at dragon ' s island , once at deathwater island and to lucy at coriakin ' s island . in the film , he only appears at the world ' s end outside a dream , implying that the green mist somehow prevented his communicating with them .\nin the book , caspian learns from lord bern that the slave traders have been allowed to operate without interference from the governor , gumpas , who sees the practice as unavoidable and necessary for the economy . in the film , caspian learns from bern that the slave traders have been making sacrifices to a green mist .\nbut few used the festival to better advantage than mr . weinstein , who is credited with inventing and perfecting the modern awards game , even if his oscar entrant last season , \u201ccarol , \u201d came up short . \u201clion , \u201d which stars dev patel , nicole kidman and rooney mara , had its premiere here on saturday \u2014 most major films , including \u201cjackie , \u201d had already been seen elsewhere \u2014 and generated a stream of euphoric responses from entertainment reporters and some critics .\nin the film , a page from the book of incantations tempts lucy by showing her as the exact image of susan ; in the book she imagined her beauty surpassing susan ' s . she also harmfully used a spell to spy on her friends , but in the movie she uses a harmless spell to make it snow indoors .\nthrough the course of the 1960s , alan alda made significant strides in pursuing the stage profession of his father robert , carving himself a niche as one of broadway ' s most engaging and in - demand performers . with one film appearance under his belt , he landed the lead in the feature adaptation of george plimpton ' s popular memoir\nstill , it isn\u2019t quite satisfying . the transition from the young to the grown - up saroo demands a shift in tone and genre that \u201clion\u201d doesn\u2019t quite achieve . what felt in the first part like wonderful , spielbergian simplicity feels , in the latter sections , like simplification . there isn\u2019t enough of the rough texture of family life or the complications of young love to give the older saroo a full identity . the movie hovers on the edge of going deeper into his psychological predicament but holds itself back .\nwhile rooney mara has a fairly limited function as saroo\u2019s girlfriend , kidman enriches the film enormously . it\u2019s a sterling , supportive performance . the script never lunges for cheap drama by forcing saroo into a binary choice between mothers , and the most complex beats are about tip - toeing around , often counter - productively , to avoid hurt or betrayal .\nthe geography has been drastically changed for the film , resulting in some of the islands being visited in a different order than they were in the book . in the book , dark island came before ramandu ' s island ; dragon island and goldwater island were two separate islands , neither were volcanic and both were visited before coriakin ' s island ."]}

' '\nthe fortune society\u2019s mission is to support successful reentry from incarceration and promote alternatives to incarceration , thus strengthening the fabric of our communities .\nfortune and men ' s eyes\npopulates a prison with a similarly imaginative selection except this time everyone is homosexual , so we ' re supposed to know immediately that the movie is about an important issue . it is about men who are kept behind prison bars and away from women , and subjected to degradation by the prison ' s homosexual ruling class . this time the story is mostly about the italian , who is named rocky , and the kid , who is named smitty .\nperhaps the ultimate irony of\nfortune and men ' s eyes\ncan be found in the response from the ( apparently ) largely swish audiences the film is attracting . assuming that the film was intended as a serious expose of prison conditions , it ' s a little unsettling to hear cheers for a gang rape . you can ' t have it both ways .\nwritten in 1967 by john herbert , fortune and men ' s eyes has been produced in forty translations in over one hundred countries . two years before the 1969 stonewall riots in new york signaled the beginning of a militant gay liberation movement , fortune was the first play to dramatize in an often shocking manner society ' s treatment of homosexuals and inhumane prison conditions . under canadian criminal law , homosexual acts were punishable by up to fourteen years in prison until 1969 . herbert ' s play forced both theatre audiences and the theatre itself to acknowledge the existence and rights of homosexuals . fortune opened doors for other gay and lesbian playwrights to depict gays and lesbians on stage in a more open , realistic , non - stereotypical and non - caricatured manner .\n' ' fortune and men ' s eyes , ' ' which opened off broadway in 1967 and ran for more than a year in the united states , was later produced in more than 60 countries . it not only drew attention to degradation and corruption within the prison system but also inspired the formation of the fortune society to heighten public awareness of the conditions for inmates and the problems they faced after their release . former prisoners turned to this organization for food and clothing , help in finding jobs and support from those who had already made the difficult readjustment to life outside .\nwhen fortune and men ' s eyes premiered in centennial year 1967 , it shocked critics and audiences in both new york and canada . norman nadel , reviewing the play for the new york tribune , claimed the homosexual drama was so disgusting that the mention of someone vomiting in the prison ' s off - stage toilet came like a breath of spring . herbert whittaker , in the globe and mail , called the play\nthe art of washing our dirty linen in the neighbor ' s yard .\nnathan cohen , in the toronto star\nfortune won the dominion drama festival ' s massey award in 1968 , which brundage refused , and the chalmers outstanding play award in 1975 . brundage had little success with subsequent plays , but fortune remains one of the few true classics of the canadian theatre .\nbut herbert persisted in cross - dressing in prison , living the character of the rebellious\nqueenie\ninmate he would create 16 years later in fortune and men ' s eyes . for the guelph reformatory ' s annual christmas show in 1947 , he secretly prepared a dramatic black evening dress with a piece of black satin twisted around his head like a parisian headdress to cover his shaven head , and sang a dietrich - like parody about love .\nwritten and revised from 1963 to 1966 , fortune and men ' s eyes is set in a canadian prison for youth and deals with society ' s injustice towards gay people , the brutality and homosexuality within prisons , the corruption of police and guards , the education in crime for first offenders , and the painful need for friendship , affection and love between prisoners . as herbert himself has stated about the play ' s plea for the acceptance of human diversity ,\ni do not believe that any community can learn to live with the many societies of the world unless it first learns to live with the many factions within itself .\neverybody ? yeah . everybody in the entire prison is homosexual . that ' s one of the funny things about the prison . the other thing is that the characters apparently have unlimited access to all sorts of corridors and showers and places where you ' d think a well - run prison might have a guard or two . but that doesn ' t matter much , because\nfortune and men ' s eyes\nisn ' t a serious study of prison homosexuality ; it ' s a melodramatic soap opera that exploits its story and actors and ( especially ) the credibility of the audience .\nafter ' ' fortune and men ' s eyes , ' ' mr . herbert went on to write 16 more plays , but few were given professional productions and none had the same success . for the last 25 years , he was the artistic director of the maverick theater in toronto , of which he was a co - founder . his principal source of income was teaching at the three schools of art .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nde zotti\u2019s character is first befriended , then later brutally used , by cyrus faird \u2019s character , rocky .\nwhen in disgrace with fortune and men ' s eyes , i all alone beweep my outcast state , and trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries , and look upon myself and curse my fate , wishing me like to one more rich in hope , featured like him , like him with friends possessed , desiring this man ' s art , and that man ' s scope , with what i most enjoy contented least ;

to - be - broken newcomer smitty , encountered it .\nwhile shakespeare was regarded as the foremost dramatist of his time , evidence indicates that both he and his contemporaries looked to poetry , not playwriting , for enduring fame . shakespeare ' s sonnets were composed between 1593 and 1601 , though not published until 1609 . that edition , the sonnets of shakespeare , consists of 154 sonnets , all written in the form of three quatrains and a couplet that is now recognized as shakespearean . the sonnets fall into two groups : sonnets 1 - 126 , addressed to a beloved friend , a handsome and noble young man , and sonnets 127 - 152 , to a malignant but fascinating\ndark lady ,\nwho the poet loves in spite of himself . nearly all of shakespeare ' s sonnets examine the inevitable decay of time , and the immortalization of beauty and love in poetry .\nlittle is known about shakespeare ' s activities between 1585 and 1592 . robert greene ' s a groatsworth of wit alludes to him as an actor and playwright . shakespeare may have taught at school during this period , but it seems more probable that shortly after 1585 he went to london to begin his apprenticeship as an actor . due to the plague , the london theaters were often closed between june 1592 and april 1594 . during that period , shakespeare probably had some income from his patron , henry wriothesley , earl of southampton , to whom he dedicated his first two poems , venus and adonis ( 1593 ) and the rape of lucrece ( 1594 ) . the former was a long narrative poem depicting the rejection of venus by adonis , his death , and the consequent disappearance of beauty from the world . despite conservative objections to the poem ' s glorification of sensuality , it was immensely popular and was reprinted six times during the nine years following its publication .\njohn herbert brundage , pen name john herbert , writer and theatre director ( b at toronto 13 oct 1926 , d at toronto 22 june 2001 ) . after studying at toronto ' s new play society school for drama and the national ballet school 1955 -

up children cl\u00e9ante and \u00e9lise . the latter both have aspirations of marriage , but are afraid to broach the matter with their father , since he has resolved that if they marry it should be for money , not love . cl\u00e9ante is in love with mariane , who comes from a family of modest means , whilst his sister has fallen for her father ' s steward , val\u00e8re . whilst monsieur jacques , harpagon ' s faithful coachman , is sympathetic to their plight , cl\u00e9ante and \u00e9lise see no way of persuading their father to bless their respective wished - for unions . cl\u00e9ante ' s hopes appear to be completely dashed when harpagon announces his decision to marry mariane himself .\nby now , harpagon has become almost obsessively mistrustful of his entire household , fearing that they all intend to rob him of his fortune - ten thousand ecus - which he has carefully buried in his garden . when the money goes missing the old man is thrown into a sudden panic , and monsieur jacques uses this occasion to get even with val\u00e8re by accusing him of the theft . summoned to his employer ' s presence , val\u00e8re admits that he knows who took the money and offers to return it to him , on condition that he allows him to marry \u00e9lise , whilst also sanctioning cl\u00e9ante ' s betrothal to mariane . for the man who worships money above all else , the deal is easily struck . . .\nharpagon , right down to his threadbare socks . in a performance that probably ranks as his best , de fun\u00e8s ' s portrayal is both exceptionally funny and unequivocally poignant . he reminds us that harpagon is not a villain , he is really sad wretch who deserves our pity more than our contempt . when he is not tyrannising his children or flogging the dear life out of his servants , harpagon resembles a tragic figure who , unloved by humanity , is driven to an obsessive love of money . de fun\u00e8s ' s main achievement is that he succeeds in arousing our sympathies whilst never letting up on his character ' s obnoxious behaviour for a moment .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

sanjay sahu ( pawan kalyan ) is a happy - go - lucky type youth . bhagyamati ( ileana ) falls in love with him and sanjay accepts her proposal after waiting for a while .\njalsa was released in the year 2008 , some songs of the official soundtrack are you & i by devi sri prasad , gallo thelinattunde by gopika purnima , chalore chalore chal ( hindi ) by devi sri prasad , chalore chalore chal (

you find cops in front of jalsa , don\u2019t fret ! megastar amitabh bachchan , who has a meet and greet session with his fans every sunday , says it worries him to see women and children in discomfort due to the crowd . he has sought the help of police for a \u201csimpler and effective\u201d way of managing [ \u2026 ]\nit will help forget a bad phase that never seemed to end , and it will do more . pavan kalyan is a superstar again , and even if baggage builds again , there ' s going to be no contribution from the pre - jalsa part of his career . that is now forever irrelevant conversation , irrelevant thought . when you go d . . . .\nafter aagadua , the pokkiri star will be seen in a cameo rolesuperstar mahesh babu , who is busy wrapping up telugu actioner aagadua , will

a royal feeling . trust me on that . we went for lunch and had non - veg buffet there . the food was outstanding ! the staffs and their service is really really commendable . i specially loved their special dish made up of karela , yes you heard me right it is bitter gourd and i hate them but i simply loved that dish . also what makes it a different from other regular buffet places is that your food will be royally served at your table ( except for dessert , which is completely fine with me ) all in all , i loved the place and if you are looking for a royal treatment look no farther than jalsa gold\nyou can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .\nit is a known fact that telugu heroes do not share a similar camaraderie as their bollywood counterparts . there , it is common for shah rukh and salman to appear together , for srk to do an item song in akshay ' s film and for big b to introduce hrithik ' s ' jodha akbar ' .\nnow , slowly , the winds of change and marketing tactics are affecting the filmmaking gamut of telugu industry too .\nwhile we have had heroes like srikant and jagapati babu doing special roles in films of top heroes , not many top heroes come together on screen .\nthough mahesh was not returning any favours for pawan , it was trivikram srinivas who managed to cajole him to do it .\nit is the much awaited audio release for his fans . three of the film ' s songs were released on the net nearly a week before the audio launch . but that did not whet the audience ' s excitement . instead , it made them more desperate to listen to the entire album consisting nine songs . geeta arts specially chose devisri prasad to come up with some really sensational music and as always , devisri does not disappoint . he has what pawan kalyan ' s fans would love to hear in his film . read on .\nhe is the jackie chan . he is the king of andhra . sings baba sehgal in this opening track of the album . baba had sung a song for megastar chiranjeevi 12 years back for rickshaavaadu . then , he crooned roop tera mastana for his item number . this time around , it is a rap mix about the leading man . apparently , the rap bits were written by baba himself and so they fit in perfectly with the song . it is an ideal number to get a feel of what can be expected from the album . fast and peppy , it is surely going to top the charts for a very , very long time .\nthis is another experimental number that is highly westernised . like quite a few songs in pawan kalyan ' s films , it is sprinkled with english and telugu lyrics . kay kay gives the playback and he is simply superb as his telugu diction is perfect , not to forget his english pronunciation . a romantic number , it stands out by not being melodious . devisri prasad comes up with something that will get the younger audience grooving .\nthis one has hindi and english lyrics for a change . devisri prasad sings let ' s do balle balle for another item number which will be ideal for saturday night dancing at clubs . the lyrics are thought - provoking , but devisri gives them a wonderful twist by setting them to funky beats . hakuna matata ( don ' t worry , be happy ) ! !\ndevisri uses ranjith for this number . a solo number , this one ' s a super fast song despite the lyrics .\na perfect item song , this one has benny and priya giving the playback . the lyricists move past ramyakrishna and rambha and go international with this one . so we have the girl being compared to jennifer lopez , beyonce and shakira in keeping with the times . another song that will take you to the dance floor within seconds , it is bound to bounce to the top of the charts within no time .\ntippu , who is fast becoming the hot choice for fast songs , sings this one along with gopika poornima . this is another number that is bound to go really with both the urban and rustic masses . just don ' t forget to put on your dancing shoes on before listening to this one !\n12 noon to 3 . 30 pm and 7 pm to 11 . 30 pm\nbear in mind that one must live life like he is at a feast . \u2013 epictetus the parallels between good food and a good life have been plenty in history . a meal was considered to be an important activity that commanded respect and utmost dedication to detail . it was often said that wars were averted not by the kings , but by the chefs who served a sumptuous meal to warring visitors . however , through time , the importance and benefits of a good meal have diminished .\nright from the starts to main course to desert , everything right on target . one special thing about the buffet is that everything is served on the table so you need worry about moving around , just focus on food ; ) lot of variety , with no compromise in taste ! ps : they serve karela manchurian in the starter and to my surprise was tasty !\nvery happy with the overall quality of food and service . chandan was very sweet and courteous . . the ambiance and service really gives a royal feel . . . thank u so much !\nawesome place with the best food you ever taste . starter were loaded and i should say all the dishes were marvellous . cost : value for money service : 8 / 10 food : 9 / 10 ambience : 10 / 10\nwent here for a team lunch and was absolutely in love with this place ! their all gold interior is so interesting and adds a royal feel to it . best part about the buffet was that , they served everything on the table . i didn ' t have to get up for everything . the starters were not the usual barbecue starters . they were different . loved the prawns and fish chilly starters ! the variety and taste of good is good . desserts are amazing ! loved the malpua with rabri . great service and total paisa vasool !\nadvance booking is

is not good and too much violence in some scenes . coming to movie pawan did well and also illeana and other supporting characters . but the minus in this movie is naxal backgorund . the flash back starts seriously ( unnecessarily also , even if you edit the flash back it wont affect the story ) and ends funnily ( meaning less end of the flash back ) . songs picturisation also not good . there are only few trivikram trademark dialogues in the movie . it is just a okay type movie but when compared to pawan previous flops it is an above average movie . i don ' t know why pawan changed his style after khushi . up to the khushi all his movies are worth watching and i became die hard fan to him at that time . at that most of his movies are different to the other heroes regular type movies . but after jhonny he also started to do same routine things like other big heroes . this movie is good for time pass and dont compare with khushi . njoy . . . . . . . . . .\na small good turn by fate can offset a disproportionately large amount of baggage from the past . for pavan kalyan , fate happens in the form of contemporary telugu cinema ' s best writer trivikram srinivas . and the good turn is not small either - this is likely to be an impressive hit .\nto preserve integrity , urltoken allows ratings / comments only with a valid email . your comments will be accepted once you give your

glamorous role as a cockney laundress in london\u2019s east end . despite dreams of upward mobility , the film emphasizes that such fantasies are not realizable . suds states this moral in two scenes . one is a fantasy scene with the glamorous mary who , like the other aristocrats , speaks in working - class lingo , and the other later expresses her realization that no solid relationship can happen with the upper class man of her dreams . \u201cit came to her , swiftly , poignantly \u2013 he would be ashamed of her . \u201d at the end of the film suds is seen happily enjoying the company of her working -

class marxist feminist community . instead , all versions must submit to the tenets of the dominant ideology of capitalist society and move towards that inevitable , but false , happy ending .\nadapted from frances hodgson\u2019s burnett\u2019s novel by frances marion but directed by one of mary\u2019s key directors marshall neilan , a little princess ( 1917 ) is a version of the cinderella story in reverse as well as a nightmare of downward mobility . following the loss of her father in india , the orphaned sara crewe loses her privileged status in miss minchin\u2019s boarding school and is cast into the bottom of the social pit becoming a menial servant like working -

class community . however , for 1922 , a more affirmative and non - political ending must occur . elias openly admits that tess has taught him \u201cthe true meaning of charity . \u201d if the film does not conclude like the original novel and the 1914 film version with \u201cbut i air your squatter , \u201d the 1922 adaptation reveals that any happy ending for these lovers of different classes is totally absurd and illusory . it ends outside tess\u2019 hut with she and frederick blissfully embracing knee deep in snow !\n( 1929 ) was the only film in which fairbanks and pickford co - starred and one which they both expressed dissatisfaction with later . however , in retrospect , this is one of the better early sound films made and far superior to\nchild - like mary pickford is a poor girl from a large family sent to live with her grouchy aunts . her mischievous but cheerful ways transform their lives and the lives of the town in the usual fashion for stories of this nature . there is some good fun here , mostly thanks to pickford\u2019s boundless charm and energy , despite a story that , even in 1917 , was utterly cliche . pickford made a career out of playing this role over and over again , but watching her play it , you can see how achieved such popularity .\n[ 8 ] for a very fine analysis on mary pickford\u2019s acting see eileen whitfield 2012 : 7 - 20 . she describes the role of tess ( 1914 ) on paper as not only resembling \u201ca schizophrenic mess of clashing traits\u201d ( 8 ) but also pickford\u2019s portrayal as exhibiting \u201cthe soul of modern acting in the first great performance of feature film\u201d ( 20 ; for pickford\u2019s affinity with the plight of the unfortunates in society and her portrayals of the less fortunate see also 15 , note 7 ) . for pickford\u2019s awareness of the flaws of several directors including porter and her acute awareness of the intricacies of film production see brownlow 2012 : 35 . despite demille\u2019s pompous reference to her supposed \u201cright - to - work\u201d support in his introduction to her autobiography , brownlow mentions ample evidence for her consideration of others on set , preferential treatment to union members in hiring , and being \u201camong the few who signed up for the closed - shop agreement\u201d ( brownlow 2012 : 42 , note 39 ) .\nyet , her films contain both recognition of the harsh side of existence for poor people and a desire to alleviate sufferings . no matter how sentimental and overtly religious her sensibilities may seem to viewers today , she never denied the existence of another side of life and to her credit exhibited the darker side of american society in many of her films\n_ _ _ ( 2012 ) , \u201cthe natural : transitions in mary pickford\u2019s acting from the footlights to her greatest role in film , \u201d in schmidt ( ed . ) 2012 .\nis a self -

ray box art and the towering names of christopher lee , peter cushing , and telly savalas . viewers who delve deeper into this hammer studios copycat effort , however , will find a treasure trove of reasons to put this unfortunately obscure film on their list of favorites from the period .\nspoiler warning . if you are intending to play an investigator entering the world of the orient express , read no further .\n. it ' s been a long , long wait indeed for horror fans , but this one was definitely worth it .\na 1972 movie that starred horror favorites , christopher lee and peter cushing , as well as telly savalas of kojak fame , horror express is a decidedly unusual production . what starts out as a regular movie of the monster kind quickly mutates into a story involving mysterious deaths ; the preserved body of an ancient , bigfoot - like humanoid , a disembodied alien , and finally , zombies .\nis a spanish horror production starring peter cushing and christopher lee , meaning it has a lot of elements that should make horror fans geek out . perhaps not surprisingly , all of those elements come together to form a cool little alien / creature feature , and i mean that in every sense of the word . situated on a trans - siberian express in the dead of winter , this is a chilly euro - horror that\u00eds probably given people the wrong impression since it ' s been found on public domain sets for years .\nconsidering how ravenous it is , the answer is obvious , though the characters do come up with an interesting method of dispatch . before that moment comes , though , horror express has a great climax that\u00eds reminiscent of a zombie flick . director eugenio martin didn\u00edt dabble in horror a whole lot , but he certainly could have if this is any indication . featuring a nice mix of gore and atmosphere ,\nwe provide reviews and recommendations for all things horror . we are particularly fond of 80s , foreign , independent , cult and b horror movies . please use the menu on the top left of the screen to view our archives or to learn more about us .\nas for pacing , horror express is very effectively executed : all of the exposition is quite natural and is revealed along the way rather than tacked on at an inappropriate time . this aids the film in developing a fast pace that keeps the viewer engaged for the duration .\nwhether you ' re a veteran that wants to relive the adventure of your youth , or a new comer , who wants to finally get their badge of honor for making it through this adventure to tell the tale - - you should check out the new horror on the orient express .\nhandled properly , a movie featuring such a wide and varied body of themes might work . unfortunately , horror express is not quite the creature - feature it could have been . that\u2019s not to say it\u2019s awful , but it\u2019s certainly not great either . rather , it languishes in some middle realm of a less than satisfying kind .\nso , if you ' re a veteran gamer like me , who struggled to keep his copy in good condition for the past 20 - something years , the 2nd edition of horror on the orient express is a fine investment . the set is sturdier , and of higher quality , but with the same great story you remember .\nediting , and text displayed like this , is by mike lay . it is a ( long ) discussion of the\nhorror on the orient express\ncampaign and how it might be improved . any comments , criticisms and plaudits should be directed mike lay . if you do use this page , please tell me how it pans out !\nugh , while the author christopher challis might be a texan , rare horror is located in freezing alberta right there along with you , dan . glad you liked the review !\nthis spanish production is one of the most entertaining and well - plotted horror films of the 1970s , boasts great acting , plenty of gruesome gore and % u2014best yet % u2014telly savalas .\nat first glance , horror express seems a fairly typical creature feature , where the filmmakers keep the beastie out of sight as long as possibly , primarily to cover up the subpar makeup and effects work . but , if nothing else , horror express cannot be faulted for playing it safe . come to find out that some disembodied alien energy force has possessed link , taking over what skills and intellect its cro - magnon brainpan allowed it , forcing it to kill in order to avail itself of more evolved capabilities . and we can say \u201cevolution\u201d in mixed company here , since the film rather charmingly includes a scene where lee espouses the virtues of darwin\u2019s theory in typical brusque , stiff - upper - lipped fashion , right before slicing into an eyeball to reveal the images trapped within its viscous fluid . with these shades of un chien andalou , you might suspect a subterranean surrealist agenda at work , burrowing mole - like beneath the silly surfaces of the film , but you\u2019d be sorely mistaken . the best that can be said for horror express is that it doesn\u2019t take itself at all seriously , and it isn\u2019t too proud to steal outright what other films politely borrow .\nnowadays , there are really only two things to be concerned about when traveling by train : lateness , and sitting too close to the stubbly guy who smells like urine and crazy . compare that with two movie legends , a homicidal caveman and a bat - poopy insane telly savalas , and you ' ll see that the horror express is a ninety - minute ride not to be missed .\n\u201chorror express\u201d is a sadly forgotten video gem that i can\u2019t recommend enough \u2013 classic performances by icons lee and cushing , with savalas entertainingly playing himself as always , and a plot that is a clear forerunner to john carpenter\u2019s classic \u201cthe thing\u201d , taking the best of its howard hawks precursor while leaving the 50s cheese on the cutting room floor . the english language track is dubbed , but luckily our three main stars did their own voice recordings so it\u2019s barely noticeable . unfortunately , there are no english opening or end titles , but the film doesn\u2019t suffer because of it . \u201chorror express\u201d is not a perfect film , but i\u2019m not ashamed to admit it\u2019s one of the movies that i most often let play on my television as i fall asleep . as bizarre as it might sound , there is great tranquility to be found lying comfortably on my bed while lee and cushing deliver classic dialogue . if you haven\u2019t seen \u201chorror express , \u201d pick up a copy of the blu - ray by severin and let yourself fall in love with it like i have . you won\u2019t regret it . you might just find yourself putting it on late at night and letting it run as sleep takes hold .\na british / spanish horror film from the year 1972 , starring peter cushing , christopher lee and telly savalas . it is loosely based on the novella who goes there by john w . campbell .\nmy group consisted of five players , all quite experienced . in general they rated\nhorror\nas one of the best campaigns they had played - not the best , but one of the best . . .\na fossil of an ape man is discovered in the mountains of manchuria by a british expedition . the fossil is taken to trans - siberian express , where the alien creature within it awakens , and starts causing havoc onboard the train .\nincidentally , don ' t mistake this page for pointless criticism . i like\nhorror\n- i have run it twice , and i think it is a classy campaign . i would not bother otherwise . . .\nis one of the most unusual and memorable outings for frequent screen pair peter cushing and christopher lee , whose friendly antagonism here makes for a memorable team indeed . the very definition of both a great popcorn movie and a\nthinking man ' s\nhorror / sci - fi opus , this gem actually possesses the ability to cross over and appeal far beyond die hard fans of european horror . directed with a skillful and stylish hand by eugenio martin (\ndespite its low budget , \u201chorror express\u201d is quite atmospheric and impressive from a production standpoint due to it being shot cheaply in spain , with the train comprising the majority of it\u2019s locations . wonderful early 20th century costumes are worthy of note , not to mention the star power of lee , cushing , and savalas . while genre fans are used to seeing cushing / lee pairings , i would argue this picture is their best pairing . allies rather than enemies this time around , watching two brilliant horror icons play off each other in this manner is a rare treat . fans will know of course that off - screen , lee and cushing were the best of friends , one of the reasons why they worked together so often . what is less well known is that \u201chorror express\u201d is the first film that cushing made after the death of his beloved wife , and as such , he almost backed out of the production last minute , but was convinced to go through with it by his great friend lee . watching with this in mind , there are some genuinely touching moments between the two , where lee\u2019s support for his friend comes through in what was the most difficult time of his life .\nin 1906 , on a train racing through siberia , christopher lee and peter cushing are engulfed in nightmare when a frozen missing link comes to life . also known as\np\u00e1nico en el transiberiano\n/\npanic on the trans - siberian express\nhorror express has a lot working in its favor . but one thing that always disturbs me is that in the scenes where the audience can see out the window it is obvious that the train is in a stationary position . while it\u2019s typical to shoot on a soundstage , rather than a moving train , it still would have been nice to see obvious errors like that corrected . the fact that the train isn\u2019t moving is so blatantly obvious that it proves a bit of a distraction .\ni absolutely love this film . saw it as a kid on tv and it freaked me out that first time , but i had to see it again . i distinctly recall the channel that showed it would run it on a semi - regular basis to the point where there was some sporting event rained out and during the delay , horror express popped up like a crazy babysittin\u2019 relative . thanks for making me grin like a clown who\u2019s found a discount on slightly used rubber chickens !\nthe orient express is not a regular coc campaign , it relies heavily on the weird european feel to make it different from other campaigns . it is also too linear and has too few red herrings . nothing that cannot be fixed , however . . .\nhorror express is a classic 1970s creature feature . it pits christopher lee and peter cushing against an evil entity of unknown origins . the duo balances one another out quite nicely . it\u2019s always a pleasure to see them teamed up and this is no exception . there\u2019s plenty of witty dialogue to be found in the film\u2019s 90 - minute runtime . for example : when the train inspector suggests that lee or cushing might be the monster , cushing\u2019s character responds by saying , \u201cmonster ? we are british , you know ? \u201d\nis a delightful afternoon horror movie . certainly , the bleeding eye imagery is memorable , the cold atmosphere palpable and the entire effort moves along at a clip pace . sure the plot is convoluted as hell - but this is a ride you never mind taking .\nthis is a great film , brilliant review as well . watched this recently , still one of my fave horror films . peter cushing , christopher lee , and telly savalas are great in this . great period setting , make up effects , and costumes as well .\nan english anthropologist has discovered a frozen monster in the frozen wastes of manchuria which he believes may be the missing link . he brings the creature back to europe aboard a trans -

- and every player agrees that it ' s worth it in the end . the original adventure was published in 1991 , and came in a boxed set that contained maps , game pieces , a poster , several books , and player handouts . the new edition contains the same intricate adventure , and even adds some new things , such as a prequel adventure set in the gaslight era ( 1890 ' s ) , and a modern - day sequel adventure .\nthe result ? a fun , hybrid horror / science fiction flick . . . directed with flair by eugenio martin and with a script by arnaud d ' usseau and julian halevy that is so outrageous , you can ' t help but be entertained . with those two classy stars on board , along with telly savalas camping it up . . . who cares ?\ntyler doupe ' is the managing editor at wicked horror . he has previously penned for fangoria mag , rue morgue mag , fearnet , fandango , contv , ranker , shock till you drop , chillertv , comingsoon , and more . he lives with his partner , his dog , and cat hat . follow him on twitter @ funwithhorror and connect with him on facebook .\nchristopher challis is an army veteran of seven years who is a recipient of the bronze star medal , as well as the combat action badge , and has served in operation iraqi freedom in iraq and operation enduring freedom in afghanistan . prior to his military service , christopher owned the largest independently owned video rental and sales store in western pennsylvania that specialized in rare horror and science fiction films . in addition , he is a collector and expert in the field of horror and sci -

siberian express , which travels from moscow to vladivostok . unfortunately , for those aboard the train , the monster doesn\u2019t remain dormant for long . in quick fashion , the beast escapes from the confines of its crate , and the train is tormented by a series of mysterious murders .\nhorror\nis one of the largest campaigns produced by chaosium for their\ncall of cthulhu\ngame . it is based around the famed\norient express\nrailway service that transports passengers from paris to constantinople in opulence and avoids minor details like having to deal with border guards . given the nature of the background , it comes as no surprise that the plot is in places quite\nrail roaded\n( grin ! ) . this can be a benefit - the keeper knows where his players are going next , and this reduces the amount of preparation required for a session . the downside to this is that , without some forethought , the players can completely derail the story by refusing to toe the line and use the train . hopefully , between us , peter and i will help keepers survive the actions of their players . . . . .\nhowever , what makes the film so charming is cushing and lee\u2019s heartfelt chemistry . in this case , they both play good guys\u2014rival paleontologists who reluctantly join forces to battle an ancient evil . the film even throws in the occasional cheeky nod to the actors\u2019 hammer horror legacy . for instance , when a fellow passenger insinuates that cushing might actually be the film\u2019s demonic creature , he\u2019s utterly scandalized : \u201cmonsters ? we\u2019re british , you know ! \u201d\nand production was already in progress when cushing arrived in spain to tell bernard gordon that he felt unable to commit to the project as he was still in deep mourning for his wife who had recently died . however , christopher lee , a close friend of cushing , assured the producer and director that he would handle the situation and obviously coaxed his fellow co - star into making the movie to everyone ' s relief . the teaming of the two iconic hammer horror actors gives\nbearing in mind that horror express remains in the public domain , as well as severin ' s claims to have gone back to original 35mm negatives for their remaster , it has to be said that the blu - ray presentation is a very mixed bag . on the one hand , the film looks as good as it probably ever will . on the other , the quality ranges from decent to shabby . artifacts aplenty , flickering , color variability , scratches , and shimmer all play a predominant role , as does a bounteous assortment of compression issues . clarity , though , is fairly well defined , and color density is adequately presented . for sound , you ' ve got a choice between spanish dolby digital stereo ( without the option for subtitles , alas ) and english dolby digital mono , which effectually isn ' t a choice at all , unless you happen to speak spanish fluently . on the english - language track , hiss and high - end squawk abounds , though dialogue is usually clear enough , even with voices that were obviously dubbed .\nbig bad ensemble : the alien creature is the dominant threat and the reason for the\nhorror\npart of the title , but the cossack officer captain kazan does manage to become something more than a mere asshole victim to the creature by menacing the passengers and expressing his desire for a scapegoat by good ol ' cold - blooded torture . though he and his men do pull an enemy mine with the two main characters and the other passengers once they find out who the creature is , not that it helps much . . .\nopens in a remote , snow - covered region of manchuria , where professor alexander saxton ( christopher lee ) , discovers the frozen corpse of an ape - like creature which could be an important anthropological find . attempting to smuggle the humanoid specimen out of russia and back to london on the trans - siberian express , saxton encounters resistance to his plan when his scientific rival , dr . wells ( peter cushing ) , boards the train and tries to view his top secret cargo . once the prehistoric carcass thaws , however , it proves to be very much alive and capable of sucking brains dry through its deadly stare , accumulating the sum intelligence of its victims . soon the creature escapes its crate through wells ' meddling and begins to systemically work its way through the car claiming new bodies as saxton and wells join forces with the other survivors to stop it .\nthis horror science - fiction thriller , a cult favorite , takes place in 1907 . professor caxton ( christopher lee ) , a fossil - hunter has discovered some sort of pre - human creature frozen in ancient manchurian ice . he is traveling to london with his find on the trans - siberian railway and is horrified to discover that his frozen man is missing , and corpses and zombies are appearing all over the train . it turns out that the frozen specimen is an alien with some unusual powers . the combined forces of professor caxton , his rival dr . wells ( peter cushing ) , and a cossack captain ( telly savalas ) are needed to save the world from this monstrous being . skillfully told , with a good dose of humor , this film also features the train which appeared a year before in nicholas and alexandra .\narcheologist sir alexander saxon ( a mustached christopher lee ) makes an ancient frozen discovery high in the himalayas . while attempting to freight his specimen across the continent and back to britain , lee encounters rival scientist dr . wells ( the great peter cushing ) . before long , mayhem and murder ensues on the train and somehow lee\u2019s ancient discovery is culprit . what follows is a cross between \u201cmurder on the orient express\u201d and \u201cthe thing from another world\u201d with a dash of \u201ckojak\u201d mixed in for good measure . i only mention the later because the legendary telly savalas shows up briefly as a russian police captain to collect his paycheck for about 15 minutes of screen time . the mystery continues to unfold , the body count rises , and the train races on while cushing and lee put their professional rivalry aside to try and stop the creature . along the way they encounter a variety of colorful characters , including a rasputin - like monk , a polish countess , and a police inspector . once the unfrozen creature\u2019s motives become clear , only one question remains : can it be stopped before the runaway train reaches civilization ?\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

nowhere to be found .\nhe summons both dr . wells and professor saxton to the storage area , where the doctor confesses that he was curious and that he asked the missing man to take a look at the mysterious archeological discovery .\nwith strange things occurring , the inspector asks saxton to open the crate . in defiance , the professor throws the key out the window . mirov is angry and he orders konev ( jose jaspe ) , one of his officers , to break the chain and padlock with an ax .\nthe baggage man ' s body is inside .\nwhat was in there ?\nasks a shaken dr . wells . again , the professor says it was a fossil . but this time he ' s more specific .\nsomething ancient , something part ape , part man . dr . wells is beside himself .\nare you telling me that an ape that lived 2 million years ago . . . got out of that crate , killed the baggage man and put him in there . . . then locked everything up neat and tidy and got away ?\nthe answer is obvious . the inspector gives orders to find the creature and destroy it . of course , he wants it kept quiet . no one wants the passengers to panic , after all .\nthe search begins . several officers make the rounds of the compartments . one of them stumbles upon the creature and is killed . the other finds his body and the door in one of the cars open . it appears the creature has fled the moving train and jumped out into the snowy terrain .\ndr . wells dines with natasha and tries to take his mind off the fact that there is an ancient , intelligent being loose on board . the engineer , who recognizes natasha from having met her at the governor ' s palace , joins them .\nshe denies ever having seen him . dinner is served and the doctor is taken aback by the sight of a boiled fish . its eyes are completely white .\nthe inspector enters the dining room and tells dr . wells that one of his officers is dead and he would like his help with the autopsy . with the aid of miss jones , they cut open the top of the corpse ' s head with a scalpel and hacksaw .\nthere is something odd about the man ' s brain . it ' s been drained and the memory has been removed . after the autopsy has been completed and they have left the room , the creature re - enters the train .\nprofessor saxton is having dinner by himself in his cabin . the countess stops by and asks about his missing\nbox of bones .\nthat box of bones could have solved many of the riddles of science ,\nhe tells her . this riddle pertains to the evolution of man , a concept she finds immoral .\n) .\nprobably ,\nhe says . he also admits to not caring very much about the lives of the murdered men .\nnatasha sneaks off to the storage car and opens the safe . after removing the valuable belonging to the countess , she is pounced upon by the creature and strangled . the creature then picks up the jewelry and appears to examine it .\ndr . wells tries to find natasha and when he opens the door to the storage car , the beast yanks at his arm . wells breaks free and the inspector arrives just in time to shoot the ancient man . but not before he ' s gazed into the fiery red eye of his target and is nearly killed himself .\nprofessor saxton checks in on inspector mirov and asks about natasha . the engineer finally recalled that she was an international spy . saxton says that he and wells performed an autopsy on her . . . and her brain was completely smooth and erased of all memory , like the other victim .\nthe professor tells him his theory about the creature stealing memories from its victims . in short , it absorbed their brains through their eyes . hence , this explains how the creature was able to pick the lock in the first place after killing the thief at the station . . . and its odd interest in the countess ' s valuable after strangling natasha .\ninspector mirov questions the count and countess . count petrovski reveals that he has invented a steel that is\nharder than a diamond .\nthat is what natasha was looking for and what spies from several countries are after .\nthe formula , he says , is safe in his head . the countess asks about natasha and is told that both she and the creature are dead .\nthe beast is not dead ,\npjardov tells them .\nsatan lives . . . the unholy one is among us ,\nhe adds . he begins a prayer and almost on cue , a candle goes out and a drawing of jesus falls to the ground .\nsaxton ( with the help of dr . wells and miss jones ) removes an eyeball from the creature . they extract liquid from it and under a microscope , they see an image of the last thing it saw . . . the inspector ! somehow , it retained the visual in its eye . there are other images too - including several of ancient dinosaurs . . . and earth as seen from space !\nthe countess and pjardov join them and they are assured that the danger is over . but pjardov isn ' t buying it . when the lights temporarily go out , he steals the creature ' s eyeball and takes off .\nmiss jones enters the baggage car to try and find him . what she sees instead is inspector mirov . after revealing to him that the countess , saxton and wells are the other people besides herself who have seen the creature ' s images , miss jones realizes that mirov has started to evolve into a creature himself ."]}

[ 13 ]\nthe core of the film is the courtroom drama where the main male lead character is caught and is presented in front of the women he has married .\n2 . the plaintiff / applicant is a renowned producer and distributor , having name and fame in film industry and has produced many cinematographic films and also a distributor of films . the plaintiff produced a tamil feature film titled\nnan avan illai\n, after securing the rights from the creator and producer mr . k . balachander and dr . kamala selvaraj under the agreement dated 30 . 11 . 2006 and released the film in tamil on 20 . 04 . 2007 , starring jeevan , nameetha , malavika , sneha , keerthi chawla , jothimayi , which was directed by selva . the film proved to be a super - duper hit .\nthe hollywood reporter commented on mushrooms that ,\nthe film ' s abstract naturalism does create an austere portrait of a crass and careless human society but any larger meaning gets lost amid the film ' s many non - events and preening nihilism .\n[ 6 ] the variety review noted the\nextremely slow - burning story\n, saying ,\n. . . the main element uniting jayasundara ' s plot strands is a sense of torpor . . .\n[ 7 ] a review in the online film magazine notebook praised the film , noting that it artistically portrays\n. . . cinematic dreams and nightmares , visible intuitions of the world around , visual understanding of what corruption of the society and corruption of the soul can do .\n[ 8 ] sight & sound of the british film institute praised it , stating\ndisconcerting though the plot may at least initially be , the film has its wild as well as some comic moments that soon win the viewer over .\n[ 9 ]\n7 . where however the question is of the violation of the copyright of stage play by a film producer or a director the task of the plaintiff becomes more difficult to prove piracy . it is manifest that unlike a stage play a film has a much broader prospective , a wider field and a bigger background where the defendants can by introducing a variety of incidents give a colour and complexion different from the manner in which the copyrighted work has expressed the idea . even so , if the viewer after seeing the film gets a totality of impression that the film is by and large a copy of the original play , violation of the copyright may be said to be proved .\namong this year\u2019s diwali releases , ajith\u2019s aegan is virtually getting a solo release as it is opening in over 400 screens tomorrow . the film is expected to take the biggest ever opening of the year as ajith and nayanthara , after billa , are considered a red -

based political party get off easy after causing the death of a young woman , saravanan takes justice into his own hands and kills them . eventually we learn of his past as chatrapathi , a decorated major in the army and the reason behind his enmity with chakravarthy ( mahadevan ) , the leader of the same political party .\n13 . it is also pleaded case of the defendants that the plaintiff in the garb of suit for copyright is claiming the absolute monopoly over any story line where a main cheats one or more women using his charm , which is a common enough them and there cannot be any copyright protection over its theme . reliance of this pleading is placed on the hon ' ble supreme court in the case of r . g . anand vs . m / s . delux films , air 1978 sc 1613 and also judgment of this court in chatrapathy shanmugham vs . s . rangarajan , s . a . no . 114 of 2004 , decided on 28 . 09 . 2011 , laying down that there is no copyright protection for themes , plots and story lines . the protection is only for the expression and this is in copyright theory known as the idea - expression dichotomy . it was due to this reason that on the same story line , number of films / plays has been made in several languages .\ndirector jayasundara admitted that there are several versions of chatrak , and some do not contain the sex scene . he also admitted that he was surprised to witness negative feedback due to the inclusion of such sex scene in his film . [ 12 ]\nwith venkatesh is a very big hit in the tollywood . atleast the next 5 or 6 she acted with the alltime great telugu ( tollywood ) actors megastar chiranjeevi , nandamuri bala krishna , akkineni nagarjuna and ofcourse her first film with victory venkatesh .\n11 . it is pleaded case that in order to succeed , the plaintiff is required to show that literary work alleged to have been infringed must have been reproduced verbatim or substantially , resulting in an impression in the minds of the viewers that the original and the reproduction are the same . it is also pleaded case that there is no averment that any actual copy right or script of the original tamil film has been copied . it is also stand of the defendants / non applicants that the plaintiff is guilty of suppression of various material facts and that the plaintiff ' s film\nnan avan illai\nas well as the earlier film\nnan avan illai ( 1974 )\nare based on a marathi play titled\ntoh mee navhech\nauthored by acharya prahlad keshav atre , therefore , in absence of plaintiff , showing how the makers of the original film had obtained from acharya prahlad keshav atre in the literary work being script of the play titled\ntoh mee nahvech\nand the present suit is not maintainable .\n16 . that defendant no . 1 has invested rs . 28 crores in making and marketing the film and various third party rights , including satellite , extra - terrestrial rights , overseas theatrical rights , vcd / dvd rights have been created and in case any injunction is granted , it would cause irreparable loss to the defendants . it is also the case that no evidence has been led to show the attempts made by the plaintiff to remake the film in hindi . on facts , the averments made in the plaint are denied .\nthe film has love , sentiment , and heroism as the title suggests . the dialogue is crisp and director srimahesh who makes his debut is also in charge of story , screenplay and dialogue . he should have worked a little more , mainly in the second half .\n21 . learned counsel for the applicant referred to the assignment agreement dated 30 . 11 . 2006 with regard to tamil , telugu & kannada re - make & dubbing rights of\nnaan avan illai\n. he also referred to the assignment deed with regard to the film\nwoh main nahi\n, to assert that the plaintiff has absolute copyright to maintain the film . it was vehemently contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that number of situations shown in the movies are identical , which shows that the applicant is entitled to injunction prayed for .\nramyakrishna ' s first telugu film was bhalae mithrulu . kasinadhuni viswanath\u2019s masterpiece suthradharulu , released in 1987 have given first major break to ramya as a actress . under the direction of k . raghavendra rao , and she acted with all best actors in telugu like balakrishna , chiru , venkatesh , nagarjuna .\n15 . the plea is that the contention raised includes serious complicated question of fact , which can be gone into at the time of trial and not at the stage of interim injunction . it is also the stand in the counter that underlying them of the film\nladies v / s ricky bahl\nis the original idea conceptualized by mr . aditya chopra , who is a story and script writer of this film , which is an independent creation , thus , it is pleaded that there is no prima facie case in favour of the plaintiff / applicant . reliance is placed on the judgment of the hon ' ble delhi high court in the case of biswaroop roy choudhary vs . karan johan , 2006 ( 33 ) ptc 381 , holding therein that when the defendant has completed the production of the film and is ready to release it for commercial exploitation is a factor , which would always deter the court from granting injuctory relief .\neverything you want to know about aarti agarwal , aarti agarwal photos , aarti agarwal wallpapers , aarti agarwal latest film news , reviews , aarti agarwal videos , aarti agarwal filmography , aarti agarwal sexy photo galleries , biography . . . . . . and much more about this beauty queen of tollywoodaarti agarwal hot sexy pictures - wallpapers , photos .\nthe film is full so many gaping holes and logic - less ideas that you feel like screaming ' enough ' . the screenplay is something like that has been filched from kindergarten student ' s rough note . a major portion of the movie reminds one of vijayakanth ' s ramana , the rest is more on the shades of rajnikanth ' s baba .\n14 . that a case of infringement cannot be made out unless upon showing of substantial similarity between the original work and the allegedly infringing work . the plaintiff has failed to show any such similarity . it is also pleaded that contrary to popular notion , the art of writing a script is highly structured with emphasis on a few key points . as a thumb rule , in the initial portions of the script will be found the hook , being that part of the script that grabs the attention of the viewer and pull him into the film . this is followed by the\nmini crisis\nand leading into the\ndilemma\n. dilemma is followed by the reaction to the dilemma , then the\nfirst reversal\n, at which point the characters are drawn deeper into the dilemma , the\ntent pole\nwhere passive characters become active or vice versa , the\nsecond reversal\nwhere it is reaffirmed as to what the story is all about , and finally the low point of action , being the place from where the main character has to rise up . even to arrive at a finding of prima facie infringement , an expert comparison between the script of the original work and the script of the allegedly infringing work is a prerequisite . if there are considerable dissimilarities between each of these ingredients as found in the original , and the allegedly infringing work , then there is no question of infringement even on a prima facie basis . this also explains why it is imperative that the plaintiff should have filed before this hon ' ble court the script of its tamil film\nnaan avan illai\nand the hindi film\nwoh main nahi\n. the plaintiff is disentitled from demanding that the defendant may preview its film without the plaintiff first coming out clean with the script of its film . the nuances of the plaintiff ' s script are absolutely essential when undertaking a comparison between the two works .\n31 . consequently , no other conclusion than the one that the applicant / plaintiff has failed to make out prima facie case , can be arrived at . the applicant / plaintiff , in the event of success finally , can always claim damages , therefore , the balance of convenience is certainly in favour of the defendants / non applicants , as he has already produced the film and is ready for release .\nramya krishnan was born in a tamil brahmin iyer family in madras now chennai . she had initial training in bharathanatyam and kuchipudi dance forms , and had given many stage performances . ramya started her acting career at the age of 13 and has an acting career spanning over 25 years . she first played the lead role in vellai manasu in tamil opposite y . g . mahendran . she was studying in 8th standard when she acted in her first film .\nshriya broke into movies with a telugu movie ishtam in 2001 . though the movie was not a success , the industry noticed her . this was followed by the 2002 film santosham with nagarjuna , which did extremely well . the other two films released the same year nuvve nuvve and chennakeshava reddy also did well . she got the opportunity to work with some of the major stars and came out with several hits like tagore ( 2003 ) and chatrapati ( 2005 ) .\n17 . the basic stand is that there is no violation of copyright and that there is no similarities between two movies . it is also case that there is no violation of copyright in the cinematographic film under section 14 ( d ) r / w section 51 of the copyright act , 1957 , being not a remake . thus , it is asserted in the counter that the plaintiff has neither prima facie case nor balance of convenience is in favour of the plaintiff .\nher tamil film padayappa ( narasimha in telugu ) , has brought her recognition and fame not only in south india but also internationally in japan , singapore , london and paris . her role ( neelambari ) in padayappa was perhaps the best role of her career and disproved her critics who said that she was a mere glam doll . recently she has given performance in some stage shows in new york , dallas , san jose , and cincinnati along with nagarjuna and tabu .\nand when you see the film , the only thing that is different is the new low of absurdity that the movie has plunged . the liberties they have taken with facts , especially relating to military affairs , is baffling . in these days of information overflow , how can filmmakers show siachen glacier as luxuriantly green grassed ? just because the hero has to be shown as all - conquering , the director has gone to the extent of showing the hero as a one - man army .\nsome action scenes were picturised on srikanth , jasper and some stuntmen at a factory in ennore . it took eight days to shoot the scene involving 23 stunt artistes , it was choreographed by stunt master peter hayen . srikanth , for the role of a commando , had trained under major ravi , who supervised the army scenes . some of the locations for the film are chennai , thalakolam , bangalore , delhi and kerala . two of the songs have been picturised in russia . [ 1 ]\n( vijaya lakshmi ) is an indian film actress . she has acted in over 100 south indian films and also in bollywood films . she had done several successful films in telugu , tamil , malayalam , hindi , kannada , bengali and bhojpuri films . she paired up with popular heroes like chiranjeevi , rajnikanth , salman khan , anil kapoor , akshay kumar , ajay devgan , sunil shetty , kamal hassan , govinda etc . she appeared as a judge in kalaingar tv ' s maanada mayilada .\naarti agarwal is a bubbly girl . she did two films with tarun which did well on the box office . however , some rumours began with her affair with her costar tarun . because of this , on march23 , 2005 , aarti agarwal attempted suicide by drinking bathroom cleaning liquid . however , it is not a serious one . aarti discharged from the apollo hospital ( hyderabad ) on the same day . again , on february 15 , 2006 , aarti agarwal fell down climbing the stairs while she was coming back from dinner to her apartment . her father , took her to the hospital the next day and she underwent surgery in banjara hills ( hyderabad ) . aarti agarwal have one younger sister . her name is adithi agarwal , she also did a few films in the tollywood . her first film was ' gangotri ' with the stylish tollywood film actor ' allu arjun ' . agarwal was married to ujjwal kumar at secunderabad on 22 november 2007 and had subsequently applied for divorce in october 2009 and announced her re - entry into tollywood .\nof a ticket . enjoy ! \u201d the trade feels mass director hari\u2019s family , action formula film seval with bharath turning into an action hero may emerge as the dark horse when it releases on the festival day ( oct 27 ) . they point out how hari\u2019s last diwali release with surya \u2014 vel , after a slow start went on to become the diwali hit of 2007 . if the rains do not dampen the diwali spirit , expect some fireworks at the box - office , though there is hardly much choice for the viewers .\n9 . it is the case of the defendants that the assignment deed relied upon by the plaintiff is confined to the remake and dubbing rights in languages tamil , telugu and kannada , which does not give right in hindi . whereas assignment deed dated 03 . 01 . 2008 shows that the plaintiff has been given right to remake / reproduce the film one time in hindi , therefore , it is not open to the plaintiff to claim that he is the absolute copyright owner of the film\nwoh main nahi\n. it is further stated in the counter by placing reliance on the judgment of the hon ' ble supreme court in the case of r . g . anand vs . m / s . delux films , air 1978 sc 1613 , that there can be no copyright in an idea , subject matter , themes , plots or historical or legendary facts and violation of the copyright in such case is confined to the form , manner and arrangment and expression of idea , by the author of copyrighted work , therefore , plaintiff cannot claim copyright over story matter of the films .\n8 . the stand of the defendants is that the plaintiff / applicant does not allege violation of any of the above said right . in the pleadings , reliance is placed on the judgment of the hon ' ble bombay high court in the case of star india pvt . ltd . vs . leo burnett ( india ) pvt . ltd . , ( 2003 ) 2 bcr 655 , wherein it has been held that infringement of a cinematographic film per se reproduced such as is the case with video / cd / cable piracy etc . thus , there is no prima facie case of infringement , which may entitle the plaintiff to interim injunction .\nfor the first time in the history of tamil films , only two commercial star - studded films are opening worldwide for diwali \u2014 ajith\u2019s aegan and bharath\u2019s seval . apart from these two , a little known film titled megham , with newcomers in the cast , will have a limited release . normally , anywhere between four and six films get released during this festival . however , this time , even three days before tamil nadu\u2019s second biggest festival , the usual buzz generated by big - ticket diwali releases is conspicuously missing . one of the leading exhibitors in the state abirami ramanathan says , \u201cmost tamilians , after having their traditional oil bath and performing pooja on the festival day , make it a point to watch at least one new tamil release without which their diwali is not complete . it is a part of our custom which ensures that a festival release gets a decent opening . some of the biggest hits of stars like mgr , sivaji ganesan and rajinikanth have been their diwali releases . \u201d diwali has become a metaphor for big movies . the\nindiaglitz wrote :\ndirector senthilkumar manages to hold your interest for most part . but lets slip his guard towards the end and the climax peters on predictability\n. [ 2 ] bizhat wrote :\nthe film is an action entertainer without any sluggishness\n. [ 3 ] sify wrote :\nstory is pure balderdash . perhaps to compensate for the lack of a coherent script , the director tries to pack in as much commercial elements like songs , crass comedy and lots of action into the storyline . the first half is crisp while the latter half drags a bit . still the high - octane action drama is watchable\n. [ 4 ] behindwoods wrote :\nthe first half of the movie is good , and takes phase with decent action , but the story line sags in the second half of the movie , as unnecessary violence is let loose on the goon squad\n. [ 5 ] hindu wrote :\nthe first half just whizzes past . it is the second half that stretches a little and also has scenes ending rather abruptly\n. [ 6 ]\npostponed at the last minute due to various reasons . says trade analyst g sekharan , \u201cyou cannot say ajith\u2019s aegan versus bharath\u2019s seval is a clash compared to last year\u2019s battle royale fought at the box - office between bigbudget vijay\u2019s azhagiya tamizh magan ( atm ) , surya\u2019s vel and dhanush\u2019s polladhavan . \u201d the competitive spirit is missing . trade circles also admit that since \u201cit is like india playing bangladesh in a one - dayer , the fans will lose interest and this might impact box - office fortunes . \u201d what\u2019s worse is that this year , so far , star - studded big movies have really failed to brighten the box - office . small movies like subramaniapuram , kathalil vizhundein , anjatheey and santosh subramaniam have raked in the moolah at the box - office . a film like dasavatharam , due to its big budget , just covered its cost and made a very small profit , while films like kuselan and sathyam did not bring any cheer to the trade which bet big on them . to a certain extent , diwali has lost its lustre due to the invasion of satellite channels . this diwali , tamil tele\n, where the hero secretly kills antisocial elements while carrying on a regular life . the movie throws patriotism into the mix by making the hero an ex - army officer . the basic likeability of the theme carries the movie forward though the unbelievability of the basic story and the outlandish action sequences make the movie less effective than the aforementioned entries in the same genre .\nsaravanan ( sarathkumar ) works as the bus driver for a ladies college and nikitha , one of the college students , has fallen for him . when four goondas belonging to a caste - based political party get off easy after causing the death of a young woman , saravanan takes justice into his own hands and kills them . eventually we learn of his past as chatrapathi , a decorated major in the army and the reason behind his enmity with chakravarthy ( mahadevan ) , the leader of the same political party .\nin the ridiculousness of its basic setup . we are expected to believe that an army officer who has won the highest possible award for an armyman , who has been on the cover of all major tamil magazines and has earned the respect of the president and the prime minister , is leading a life of complete anonymity as a bus driver in madras ! but the movie maintains sarathkumar ' s respect by making him the strong and silent type and also making the dances , duets , etc . , the product of nikitha ' s imagination . there are a couple of strong dialogs ( like sarathkumar ' s mention of mother teresa ' s opinion about wasting and his reasoning for why saving up does not make a lot of sense ) that add to his character ' s respectability .\ncontains quite a bit of action . but the action is so completely over the top that it simply serves to undo some of the positive things the movie has going for it . for instance , the scene where the foursome are brought to sarathkumar is picturised well . but the subsequent fight is so full of flying and leaping stunts that it destroys the seriousness the movie had managed to build until then . the same is the case of the military mission sarathkumar takes on in the flashback . just when we are starting to think that the sequence has been picturised well , he turns into a one - man army performing unbelievable stunts , which pushes the movie right back into the\nvadivelu has a separate comedy track which mostly consists of him earning the public ' s ire after selling some dubious products . some of the sequences , like the revelation of the modern machine for killing bedbugs , earn some chuckles . but the credit for most laughs in the movie goes to ilavarasu and his constable / buddy . as the dc who listens to the politicians while secretly yearning for their downfall , he has the best lines in the movie and his accent increases the effect of the lines . his constable , who was also his classmate in school , provides good support with some funny\nsarathkumar looks a bit old but shows vigor in the action sequences . we feel sorry for nikitha who seems to have less to do than heroines usually have in action movies . after initially professing love for sarathkumar , she completely disappears till she is needed to make him open up about his past . mahadevan is adequate with his usual low - key villainy . rajesh has an interesting character of an ex - military man who never fails to respect the national anthem . s . a . rajkumar surprisingly comes up with tunes that dont bear his usual touch . ragasiyamaai . . . is a catchy number .\nthe hero is a bus driver in a catering college where the heroine is also studying . he is also running an orphanage . he is in love with the heroine but she does not know it . rowdies tease a girl student of the college . chatrapathi murders the rowdies . one day the heroine enters the hero ' s room and comes to know about his past life including the murder of the rowdies . the heroine knows about his kindness and other good activities and is thrilled that the hero is not an ordinary man . she requests him to tell her his life story and he narrates it to her .\nthe president of india honours the hero with the highest award ` paramveer chakra ' for his exemplary action of annexing a portion of siachen glacier from the neighbouring country . after getting the award the hero goes to his native place , where a political leader has annexed the land belonging to the hero . the man who got back a portion of the land from the neighbouring country is unable to get back his own land . he knows that a political leader is behind all this . this provokes him to eradicate political leaders who are acting against religion and community . because of this he is arrested by the police and brought to court . chatrapathi says that his act is justified and he always wanted to destroy anti - social elements that disturb the society . the court hands over the hero to the military forces .\nsarath kumar as the hero has done justice to his character and has shown restrained acting in the first half and is full of vigour and action in the second . nikita ably supports him . pooja in a negative role is promising . rajesh as the man who gives respects to the national flag plays a brilliant character . vadivelu makes us laugh occasionally . a . karthik raja ' s camera work is noteworthy . s . a . raj kumar ' s music is significant . two songs , ` ragasiyamai ' and ` ore oru raathiri ' ( a dance by rambha ) will certainly be on the lips of the viewers .\nwatch online hindi movies , dubbed movies , tv shows \u2013 awards , documentaries and more .\nsubscribe to hindilinks4u mailing list to receive updates on latest movies . stay connected !\nnote : we will send you a confirmation email . please check your inbox / spam folder and approve .\ncopyright 2018 \u00a9 watch online hindi movies , dubbed movies , tv shows -

autobiography of director federico fellini , 1930 ' s italy , amarcord is a vivid and ill - tempered mock of the personal youth of the director - author enriched by adolescent desires and social - political subtexts . bellissima !\nstarting today , federico fellini\u2019s enduring autobiographical amarcord is back on the big screen , in a newly restored print from janus films , supervised by director of photography giuseppe rotunno . after a two - week run at new york\u2019s film forum , fe\u2026\nmuch like the other fellini movies i have seen including ' la dolce vita ' and \u20198 1 / 2\u2019 , amarcord flows along with a very loose narrative structure . there is not much depth given to each character , but it remains engaging\u2026\nplease read these rules & terms carefully before you submit your film . by submitting your film into competition in the amarcord arthouse television & film fest awards , you expressly acknowledge and agree that you shall be bound by the terms of these rules & terms .\nthe characters in fellini\u2019s early films tend to be more realistic and individualized than those in his later ones , where circus elements are more evident and characters less natural , more fantastic and exaggerated . that is , whereas in the white sheik ( 1952 ) , fernando rivoli is both rivoli and the clown he plays , in amarcord , there are no such divisions . rivoli dreams and wanda dreams in the white sheik , but in amarcord , gradisca is a dream , as are uncle teo and the whole of the film .\ni couldn\u2019t agree with those criticisms . i find fellini\u2019s magic spellbinding even when he\u2019s only marking time , as he was to some extent in \u201croma . \u201d but now , with \u201camarcord , \u201d fellini returns to the very top of his form . and he has the last laugh on the critics of his \u201cstructureless\u201d films . because \u201camarcord\u201d seems at first to be a series of self - contained episodes and then reveals a structure so organic and yet so effortless that at its end , we can only marvel at this triumph over ordinary movie forms .\nfederico fellini was born and brought up in rimini , italy , a small seaside town in the province of emilia -

house tour through fellini\u2019s mind\u201d on\u2026\neven federico fellini acknowledged that he had the habit of making the same film again and again , and\namarcord\nis just that film . orthodox fellini lovers may give primacy to the earlier , more narrative dramas ,\n8 1 / 2 ,\nla strada\nor\nla dolce vita ,\nbut\namarcord\nmay be a more perfect summary of\nfelliniesque ,\nthe sumptuous carnival style that defined fellini ' s work from the late 1960s on . and it proves that felliniesque means much more than just a shorthand term for the bizarre .\nthis is not what happens in fellini\u2019s i vitelloni ( 1953 ) , the film apparently closest to amarcord in its depiction of a small seaside town like rimini . in i vitelloni , the town is in fact like rimini , and the events that befall the characters elicit realistic tears , anguish , and anger ; in amarcord , to the contrary , the town is a caricature . it seems completely constructed , as false as the tears of gradisca and as delusive as her dream marriage\u2014and as contrived as the animal sexual hunger of volpina ( foxy ) , the town nymphomaniac .\ntoday i had the great pleasure of watching the masterpiece\namarcord\nagain . the film is a charming series of vignettes set in fellini ' s seaside hometown during his childhood in 1930s italy . a warm and gentle comedy , it lovingly skewers the platitudes by which everyday people manage their daily lives .\nthe goal of \u201cofficine amarcord\u201d is to give new life to legendary models of cars that are in the memories and dreams of many passionate people by turning them into roadworthy and green vehicles so that they will not only be beauties to admire in a car salon but they can get back to their duty on the roads .\nnever have i seen a childhood nostalgia film be so brutally honest when it comes to the real life places and people that the story is inspired from . amarcord comes from the mind and memories of the great federico fellini ' s carnivalesque and alien brain . this film is supposed to be a very personal and achingly nostalgic portrait of the directors youth in a small 1930 ' s seaside village and italy , and while i didn ' t grow up in italy , nor was i born anywhere near 1930 , i can tell you that no matter where you are from or how you got to where you are now , amarcord will feel like home .\nfederico fellini was born and brought up in rimini , italy , a small seaside town in the province of emilia - romagna . amarcord is a neologism he contrived , which comes closest to the emiliano - romagnolo dialect phrase mi ricordo ( i remember ) . fellini , a great liar , denied this origin , claiming instead that it was a mysterious , cabalistic word , linked to invention rather than memory . whatever the meaning , amarcord evokes another world : evanescent , unreal , unreachable , impalpable , like an image in the depth of a mirror that can be attested to for only a brief instant before it vanishes , like the images of the cinema .\nin\namarcord ,\nfellini shows us the sexual dreams of teen boys , whose tender age blocks their fulfillment . he shows us the sexual dreams of adults , which look quite similar - - - but while unblocked by age , they are infantilized by religious guilt , political corruption , and a simplistic vision of gender relations .\namarcord presents a topsy - turvy universe of libidinous grandfathers , crazy uncles , hysterical mothers , constantly bickering families , and dwarf nuns . sexually frustrated male teenagers such as titta ( bruno zanin ) fantasise over gradisca - herself seduced by hollywood notions of glamour in her trips to the local cinema - and over an enormous - breasted female tobacconist .\nit ' s real - life magic . it ' s honest - to - god supernatural . it ' s a very special film . amarcord changed my life . i feel like i ' ve never truly understood cinema until now . i feel like i can do anything . i feel like magic must feel . i feel like fairy dust .\nand we can marvel , too , at how universal \u201camarcord\u201d is . this is a movie for everybody , even those who hardly ever see foreign or \u201cart\u201d films . fellini\u2019s greatest achievement , in my opinion , was \u201c8 1 / 2 . \u201d but that was a difficult film that revealed its meaning only after a good deal of thought and repeated viewings .\nthis carnivalesque portrait of provincial italy during the fascist period , the most personal film by federico fellini , satirizes the director\u2019s youth and turns daily life into a circus of social rituals , adolescent desires , male fantasies , and political subterfuge , all set to nino rota\u2019s classic , nostalgia -

of - age tale about titta , an adolescent boy growing up among an eccentric cast of characters in the village of borgo san giuliano ( situated near the ancient walls of rimini ) in 1930s fascist italy . the film ' s title is a romagnol neologism for\ni remember .\nthis little documentary is about maestro fellini , and his brilliant work on oscar winning masterpiece\namarcord\n. i do not own rights for this video , but i would like to share with all of you who are fans and lovers of fellini ' s work . some of the very close friends and collaborators of maestro fellini speak of his vision and dreamy world he created in glorious cinecitta . enjoy\nin amarcord , the rex is made of cardboard , the sea of plastic , the sunset of paint . very little is natural , and when it is , it is parodied and deformed . the natural was not an opportunity for fellini , material to be recorded or rearranged , but rather a constraint , like rationality , defined order , and logic were\u2014a limit on his creativity\u2014and that is why the natural , the narrativized , and the realistic began to disappear from fellini\u2019s work , at first imperceptibly , before 1960 , and then markedly afterward . the films increasingly became the expression of the soul of fellini\u2014not his autobiography , his life to be represented , but what he wished to express . \u201cthere is nothing autobiographical in amarcord , \u201d he said ( nor is there in his celebrated essay \u201cmy rimini , \u201d which is neither autobiography nor exactly recollection but something rather more delicate and poetic : reminiscence ) . this expressive reality is made up of the spirits of fellini , like those of juliet in juliet of the spirits ( 1965 ) . his films objectify these spirits and in so doing liberate them . the clowns of amarcord are such spirits , not memories exactly but compressed symbols and associations , as in a dream .\namarcord is like a circus , composed of numbers , perfectly linear and sequential but whose links are neither logical , dra\u00admatic , nor narratively motivated . each of the numbers in the film is a circus act , and the actors are the circus clowns . indeed , there is no story in amarcord , simply a collection of these episodes , whose order is only marginally consequential or where consequence is not of great importance : the seasons will change , miranda will die , gradisca will marry . since the figures are essentially only images that have been designed , sketched , and exaggerated , rather than developed and given body to , they are simultaneously eternal and ephemeral , like the ocean liner rex , which appears in its impossible magnificence out of the blackness of the sea at night , bringing gradisca to tears and the others in boats to shouts of astonishment at the unreal wonder of it , in a kind of maritime s\u00e9ance . even fascism is made into spectacle : were this a realistic film , fascism would be a politics that would eventually be overcome ; in amarcord , because fascism is only an act of clowns dressed up in a circus , it seems to be timeless , a perpetual provincialism and infantilism , more symbolic than historical or real , like chaplin as the great dictator .\namarcord is considered an exaggeration of federico fellini ' s reality of his childhood mixed with fragments of what could be true and fragments that are only imagined to be true .\nthere ' s nothing autobiographical in amarcord ,\nfellini had stated . even the lawyer who is one of the main narrators in the film even admits to the audience that the stories he is giving us might not even be completely accurate especially coming from the character of biscein , who he accuses of being a born liar and of making up a new story every single day . if the film amarcord gives off an artificial like quality , it is never so obvious as it is in the scene with the arrival of the great liner red which is clearly made of plastic and paint . when rex passes all the townspeople out in their boats the look of the liner and the waves it is riding on look as fake and artificial as the town of borgo and of its comic book like inhabitants ; which in many ways suggests an illusion to reality . even the sudden arrival of the fascist leaders seem like an absurd comic spectacle as you watch fascists marching down the streets looking like a bunch of clowns in one of fellini ' s circuses with a ridiculous looking papier - m\u00e2ch\u00e9 mussolini which looks more similar to a grotesque bulldog .\nfederico fellini\u2019s \u201camarcord\u201d takes us back to the small italian town of his birth and young manhood , and gives us a joyful , bawdy , virtuoso portrait of the people he remembers there . he includes a character undoubtedly meant to be young federico - - earnest , awkward , yearning with all the poignancy of adolescent lust after the town beauties . but the movie\u2019s not an autobiography of a character . it\u2019s the story of the town itself .\nthe townspeople are almost children in their behavior , taking delight in the simple joys of eating and making love and parading around the square and gossiping about each other and about the hypnotic gradisca . fellini implies that this simple behavior is nourished by a system that encourages a mindless going along - - but \u201camarcord\u201d isn\u2019t a political movie . it is a memory , fond but merciless , of how it was in italy at a certain time .\nthe italian title\namarcord\nhas been rendered in english as\ni remember ,\nand quite rightly this a very personal reminisce about the past of writer - director federico fellini . it focuses on the 1930s when he was growing up in the italian village of rimini and fascism was on the rise in italy . by now , having seen seven of his films , i think i have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the\nmaestro .\nurltoken is turning 15 and giving itself a special gift . it is supporting the restoration of one of the most iconic films of italian cinema ,\namarcord\n. released in 1973 , this masterpiece , which earned federico fellini an oscar for best foreign language film , has been restored to its original glory thanks to the know - how of the cineteca di bologna ' s cinematic restoration laboratory , l ' immagine ritrovata , considered one of the finest in the world .\n\u201camarcord , \u201d on the other hand , is a totally accessible film . it deals directly , hilariously , and sometimes poignantly with the good people of this small town ( actually fellini\u2019s birthplace , rimini ) . it\u2019s no more complicated than they are , it understands them inside - out , and the audiences i\u2019ve seen it with ( three times ) have been moved to horselaughs , stilled by moments of beauty , and then brought back almost to tears . it\u2019s not only a great movie , it\u2019s a great joy to see .\nthe beauty of film rests in the fragility of its images , a fragility often denied by narrative structures so tightly bound that images become firmly fixed in place . it is exactly in that place that fellini\u2019s films open up , and in doing so make images precious , alive , and transitory . the essential subject of fellini\u2019s films , and particularly of the late ones , like amarcord , is the cinema itself , another world : ephemeral , touching , ineffable , comic , and grand . . . like a pheasant in the snow .\nthe amarcord arthouse television & film fest awards ( aatva ) is open to any film completed after january 1 , 2013 regardless of content , subject , or origin . submitting your film to the aatva is not a guarantee of selection . all the official selection , nominees and the winners will be listed on our website permanently . all the winning films will receive a trophy award or certificate . please read all rules and regulations before submitting your project . please note that we do not offer application fee waivers : we treat every filmmaker equally .\nif ever there was a movie made entirely out of nostalgia and joy , by a filmmaker at the heedless height of his powers , that movie is federico fellini \u2019s \u201camarcord . \u201d the title means \u201ci remember\u201d in the dialect of rimini , the seaside town of his youth , but these are memories of memories , transformed by affection and fantasy and much improved in the telling . here he gathers the legends of his youth , where all of the characters are at once larger and smaller than life - - flamboyant players on their own stages .\n\u201camarcord\u201d is like a long dance number , interrupted by dialogue , public events and meals . it is constructed like a guided tour through a year in the life of the town , from one spring to the next . there are several narrators , including an old rummy - dummy who visibly forgets his lines , and a professor who lectures us learnedly on the town\u2019s historical precedents . other narrators include the singing voices of the children , heralding the arrival of the first dandelion balls of spring , and a confiding voice on the soundtrack that is fellini himself .\nfederico fellini ' s dream - like recreation of a year in the life of a fascist - era provincial italian town turned out to be his last significant box office hit , and also won the best foreign film oscar in 1974 . shot at rome ' s cinecitta studios , the bawdily amusing amarcord dispenses with a traditional plot in favour of a series of communal set - pieces - a spring bonfire , a visit from a government dignitary , a trip to see a giant ocean liner , and the marriage of local beauty gradisca ( magali noel ) .\namarcord , which means \u201ci remember , \u201d is federico fellini\u2019s lusty , often funny look at growing - up perhaps not unlike his own . the setting is a village in 1930s italy . teen hormones are surging . family , church and friendship are proving grounds of love and loyalty . fascism\u2019s rise is just down the street . sex is around any corner . and life viewed in the local cinema is a touchstone for life lived . the memories , big and small , endure . so does the appeal of this best foreign language film academy award \u00ae winner .\nall of fellini\u2019s films\u2014from those up to la dolce vita ( 1960 ) , which represent worlds ( narrativized , realistic , dramatic ) , to those after la ? dolce vita , including amarcord ( 1973 ) , which create worlds ( dreamlike , episodic , artificial ) \u2014have a similar source in popular entertainments : the circus , with its clowns and unreality ; variety theater , with its vulgarity and hyperbole , especially sexual ; comic books , with their caricatures and sketchiness ; silent film comedies , with their grace and innocence ( chaplin , keaton , laurel and hardy ) .\nat times in amarcord , the characters speak directly to a filmmaker ( fellini ? ) , who appears to record the events and actions in the town . there is in the film , as in so many late fellini works , the figure of a journalist - documentarian - archivist , who reports and comments on the happenings that are seen . but this is false , and rather than rendering the events as true , the device emphasizes their unreality and the artificiality of the representations . as the characters are exaggerated , so too is the documentary , and both become unreal .\n\u2026we chose to call our beer gradisca , because we brew it in this corner of romagna and san marino , between the sea and the hills , a land rich in history and amazing stories . but above all , as a tribute to an illustrious celebrity who was born here , film director frederico fellini , who conquered cinema - goers the whole world over with his rich and poetic vein of inspiration , winning as many as four oscars for his films , including , of course , amarcord , where gradisca is the protagonist . 4 . 7 % alc . vol .\nfellini\u2019s films ( certainly his later ones , including amarcord ) bear the marks of their imme\u00addiacy , sketchiness , momen\u00adtari\u00adness , lack of finality , lack of development , inspirational and free associations ( \u201cyou begin to shoot an action , and suddenly you are taken with the shimmering of light on a crystal of glass\u201d ) . such processes , essentially irrational , unconscious , almost impossible to plan ( the vagaries of light , a sudden glimmer of recognition ) , were for fellini ( impressed by jungian psychology and its notion of archetypes ) signs of creativity and artistry . they were the i , the me , of fellini .\namarcord is a bit much to wrap your head around in a single viewing . generally speaking , there ' s no central protagonist or plot , and instead of this traditional narrative structure , the film offers what is basically a series of vignettes that involve a similar set of characters and that take place in a similar setting . what it ' s about isn ' t totally obvious\u2014which is probably for the best , rather than having them shallowly play out on the surface\u2014but what is obvious is that it ' s less a customary story about a single person and more a chaotic poem about a specific place and time .\nin amarcord , fellini evokes a year in the life of the small italian coastal town of rimini in the mid - 1930s with free - spirited fantasy , bittersweet comedy , and intimate detail . though filled with phantasmagorical gems from the director\u2019s imagination , the film is also rooted in history , filtered through memory : focusing on one family of perfectly normal eccentrics , fellini examines their impact on one another\u2019s lives and the impact of life on them through a series of intersecting tales . fascism was a fact of life and , for fellini , a focal point around which to examine the community , the church , the state , and the family .\n\u201camarcord\u201d is obvious in that way , with a showman\u2019s flair for the right effect . there is a night , for example , when all the people of the town get into their boats and sail out to wait for the great new italian liner to pass by . and when it comes , it towers hundreds of feet above the waves and has thousands of portholes - - and is , of course , only a prop built by the special - effects men . it drifts away into invisibility like a candle dying out . the image is of italy itself in the 1930s : all grandeur and pomp and nationalism , but with an insubstantial soul .\nin addition to its enduring artistry and wise look at the human family ,\namarcord\nhas special resonance today . as the world ' s attention focuses on the islamic community , there ' s a perfect storm brewing there . very high unemployment among men ( women generally don ' t go to work in most muslim countries ) means that many young men can ' t get married , and are still living at home . this , plus the lack of premarital sex ( with little privacy for unmarried couples who are so inclined ) means that several hundred million muslim young men can ' t have sex ( except for prostitutes or boys ) .\ni admit i ' ve never been a huge fellini fan , but i found amarcord to be quite engaging . if anything , it ' s a portrait of humanity at its most interesting . the movie is funny , strange and surreal , but all at the same time being grounded in the reality of the story . the only minor problem that i had with it is its leisurely pace during portions of the film when you just want to move on to the next adventure . i may be alone in that , but i felt it watching it . otherwise , the film is a wonderful look at growing up in italy through the eyes of frederico fellini .\ngiven how integral music is to the film ' s effect , it ' s a detail that needs improving . and given how much this film is about memory - - the personal memory of titta , the collective memory of political events and the house - of - mirrors memory we ' re all prone to when we see the real world through cinema - tinted glasses - - it ' s sad the whole project isn ' t a little more impressive . but then , it ' s rare to see\namarcord\non the big screen , and no one should be scared away by a\nrestoration\nthat leaves the film looking no worse than its fabulous old self .\nthe title amarcord apparently translates in roman dialect as\ni remember\n, yet this chaotic film is in no way a straightforward recollection of childhood experiences . as fellini himself once commented :\nmy films from my past , recount memories that are completely invented .\nthe scatological jokes about masturbation , belching , and farting coexist with an air of melancholy that ' s maintained by nino rota ' s evocative music . fellini constantly draws our attention to the fact that we ' re watching a piece of fiction : the residents ' stories are far from reliable , actors deliver their lines to camera , and the elderly narrator ( luigi rossi ) is interrupted by off - screen disruptions .\ni would consider myself a fellini fan . before this , i had seen four of his films , one of which is in my all time top 10 , 8\u00bd . i loved nights of cabiria and la strada for their charm and simple stories . however , the one i was not so hot on was his palme d ' or winning la dolce vita , which i thought was meandering and annoying . amarcord is more interesting than that film , but not as captivating as the other three . when i wasn ' t bored with what was happening , i was annoyed by the erection it gave me . i really think fellini handled that aspect of the movie rather poorly . \u2026\nin fellini\u2019s intervista ( 1987 ) , his next - to - last film , he plays himself , a filmmaker shooting a film called amerika , based on the novel by kafka . in one scene , in his office at cinecitt\u00e0 , he is interviewing a number of actors ( all of whom are caricature \u201ctypes\u201d ) for roles in his forthcoming film . probably the scene is not unlike fellini\u2019s actual method of making a film . the first step for him was not the script or the story that the film would illustrate but rather faces and images that would evoke a world . amarcord is exactly that , a \u201cworld , \u201d part circus , part science fiction , composed of images of its inhabitants .\nfellini ' s satire of the catholic church - in the figure of the priest don baravelli - highlights the absurdity of the educational system and its nonsensical system of rote learning , and it shows how the childish nature of the town ' s adults facilitates their collusion with the fascist governing system . the raucousness of amarcord can feel overwhelming at times , and you may not entirely share fellini ' s love for these larger - than - life characters . yet there are still images to treasure , such as a peacock emerging from the fog , the collective wonder at the vision of the great ship ( represented by a cardboard model ! ) , and finally the bittersweet aftermath of gradisca ' s wedding .\nthe film is set during the stage - opera phase of italian fascism , which it sees as a delusion of foolish people - - and yet the father in the family , a communist who plays the internationale from a phonograph in the church tower to protest the visit of a fascist leader , is no less foolish . politics in \u201camarcord\u201d are on the level of the endless battle between the parish priest and the communist mayor in the little world of don camillo , giovanni guareschi\u2019s best - seller of a half - century ago : both sides are so italian they prefer the fun of their public drama to winning or losing . fascism was no fun in real life , but for that you have to see de sica \u2019s \u201c the garden of the finzi - continis , \u201d because in fellini\u2019s garden only characters grow .\nprobably the most popular and accessible of fellini ' s films ,\namarcord\n(\ni remember\n) takes the viewer through a full cycle of the four seasons in the small town of rimini , italy in the late 1930s . though more a nostalgic memoir than a strict comedy , the film is full of laughs , involving schoolboy shenanigans , their obsession with sex , a family outing in the country with a mentally imbalanced uncle , and the fantasies of various people , from the sweet teenaged boy at the center of the story to the town beauty he worships , gradisca . but the film also has serious themes , from the coming of the fascists to the death of a family member , and a touch of grandeur here and there . nino rota ' s lush orchestral score is an essential and highly memorable element of this lovely 1974 film .\none of italy\u2019s great modern directors , federico fellini was a larger - than - life maestro who created an inimitable cinematic style combining surreal carnival with incisive social critique . while his most popular\u2014and accessible\u2014film , the darkly nostalgic childhood memoir amarcord , is a great entryway into his oeuvre , 8\u00bd , a collage of memories , dreams , and fantasies about a director\u2019s artistic crisis , is perhaps his masterpiece . in his early career , fellini was both a screenwriter for neorealist pioneer roberto rossellini and a newspaper caricaturist in postwar rome , competing influences he would bring together with startling results . after such early works as i vitelloni , fellini broke away from neorealism\u2019s political strictures with the beloved la strada , and from there boldly explored his obsessions with the circus , societal decadence , spiritual redemption , and , most controversially , women , in such films as nights of cabiria , juliet of the spirits , and and the ship sails on .\none aspect of amarcord that helps hold the film together and give it continuity is the change of seasons , from the initial appearance of the puffballs that herald the end of winter to their reappearance at the close of the film . an entire year goes by , and its four seasons come full circle . the seasonal changes have more to do with the material of the film , principally the light , than with what is represented : the darkness , shadows , and yellow effect of artificial lights in the winter ; the glow of springtime , with its sharp , clear light , followed by summer haze ; then the gray , foggy mistiness of autumn , when cows assume strange shapes ; and finally , the glare of winter snow . yellows , then , followed by greens , blues , whites , and all of these played off of by the whites and reds of the costuming , particularly of gradisca , whose dress outlines her wiggling bottom .\n\u201camarcord\u201d is fellini\u2019s final great film . the other masterpieces are \u201c la strada , \u201d \u201c nights of cabiria , \u201d \u201c la dolce vita , \u201d \u201c 8 1 / 2 \u201d and \u201c juliet of the spirits . \u201d he made other films of consequence , including \u201cil bidone , \u201d \u201cfellini roma , \u201d \u201c fellini satyricon , \u201d \u201c casanova \u201d and \u201c the clowns , \u201d but those six titles show him in the full flood of his talent . all of his films are autobiographical in one way of another - - feeding off of his life , his fantasies , his earlier films - - and from them a composite figure takes shape , of a hustler on the make , with a rakish hat and a victorious grin , spinning delight out of thin air , entranced by dreams of voluptuous temptresses , restrained by catholic guilt - - a ringmaster in love with the swing dance tempos of the \u201840s and \u201850s , who liked to organize his characters into processions and parades .\n\u201camarcord\u201d is fellini\u2019s final great film . the other masterpieces are \u201c la strada , \u201d \u201c nights of cabiria , \u201d \u201c la dolce vita , \u201d \u201c 8 1 / 2 \u201d and \u201c juliet of the spirits . \u201d he made other films of consequence , including \u201cil bidone , \u201d \u201c fellini ' s roma , \u201d \u201c fellini satyricon , \u201d \u201c casanova \u201d and \u201c the clowns , \u201d but those six titles show him in the full flood of his talent . all of his films are autobiographical in one way of another -

- a ringmaster in love with the swing dance tempos of the \u201840s and \u201850s , who liked to organize his characters into processions and parades .\nthe head has significant basic qualities of fineness , density , adherence and persistence . in appearance this is a pale golden beer with a slight haziness that comes from the filtration left deliberately incomplete , ensuring the look of an authentic craft beer . an absolutely enjoyable fineness of aroma , revealing notes of dry grass and a noticeable floral bouquet of hops . full - bodied , fresh and light , an invitation to keep drinking . the varieties used for the dry - hopping that distinguishes gradisca limited edition include nelson sauvin . this is a very rare hop that was bred and developed in the nelson region of new zealand , where it is now cultivated . the particular characteristic of nelson sauvin is given by the presence of essential oils that recall the aroma of fresh gooseberries , a descriptor that is above all also used to describe the bouquet of sauvignon blanc white wine , after which the hop is named . we ' ve combined nelson sauvin with saaz , one of the world ' s most widely used hop varieties , which has long been a fundamental flavouring that has contributed to the diffusion of most of europe ' s bottom - fermented lager beers , greatly enhancing their quality . the meeting between these two hop varieties with such different backgrounds is a daring challenge for amarcord beer , with its choice to use particularly special hops that have played a crucial role in the history of the greatest international beers . the result could only be a beer in the style of an american lager , light but with a distinct personality with malty hints and refreshing notes of hops , which combine to make it extraordinarily enjoyable to drink , a beer that stands out clearly from the crowd .\nart direction : dean tavoularis , angelo graham ; set decoration : george r . nelson\nart direction : richard sylbert , w . stewart campbell ; set decoration : ruby levitt\nart direction : alexander golitzen , e . preston ames ; set decoration : frank mckelvy\nart direction : peter ellenshaw , john b . mansbridge , walter tyler , al roelofs ; set decoration : hal gausman\nart direction -

animated classic , who framed roger rabbit , on its 30 - year anniversary .\nan interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,\nsorry to bother you .\nat the center is an overgrown young adolescent , the son of a large , loud family , who is dizzied by the life churning all around him - - the girls he idealizes , the tarts he lusts for , the rituals of the village year , the practical jokes he likes to play , the meals that always end in drama , the church\u2019s thrilling opportunities for sin and redemption , and the vaudeville of italy itself - - the transient glories of grand hotels and great ocean liners , the play - acting of mussolini\u2019s fascist costume party .\nsometimes from this tumult an image of perfect beauty will emerge , as when in the midst of a rare snowfall , the count\u2019s peacock escapes and spreads its dazzling tail feathers in the blizzard . such an image is so inexplicable and irreproducible that all the heart can do is ache with gratitude , and all the young man can know is that he will live forever , love all the women , drink all the wine , make all the movies and become fellini .\nfellini was more in love with breasts than russ meyer , more wracked with guilt than ingmar bergman , more of a flamboyant showman than busby berkeley . he danced so instinctively to his inner rhythms that he didn\u2019t even realize he was a stylistic original ; did he ever devote a moment\u2019s organized thought to the style that became known as \u201cfelliniesque , \u201d or was he simply following the melody that always played when he was working ?\nthe melody was literal most of the time . like his italian contemporaries , he post - synched most of his dialogue , so it didn\u2019t matter so much how his actors read their lines , and he often had a small orchestra or a phonograph to supply music while a scene was being filmed . that\u2019s why so often in a fellini film the actors don\u2019t seem simply to be walking , but subtly moving to an unheard melody . they seem to be able to hear the soundtrack .\nthe town itself is a character . we meet the buxom gradisca ( magali noel ) , who runs a beauty parlor and parades her innocent carnality and her red fur hat past the inflamed local men as if she had been elected to a public office ; and titta ( bruno zanin ) , who finds gradisca beyond his reach but boldly offers to show the voluptuous proprietor of the tobacco shop that he is such a man he can lift her off her feet ; and \u201cronald colman , \u201d who runs the local cinema ; and titta\u2019s father ( armando brancia ) , who rules the family table with what is intended to be an iron hand ; and titta\u2019s mother ( pupella maggio ) , who offers to kill herself more or less daily because of her husband\u2019s idiocy ; and her brother , who vainly trains his hair beneath a net and focuses on his meals with a hypnotic concentration ; and the local priest , obsessed with whether the boys touch themselves ; and all of titta\u2019s playmates , who gather for enthusiastic mutual touchings of self .\nevery day brings a drama . every summer the family liberates uncle teo from the local asylum for a picnic in the country , and this year while they are distracted he climbs a tree and refuses to come down , moaning \u201ci want a woman ! \u201d like a lovesick bull . he throws apples at those who try to climb up to him , and finally the family sends to the asylum for help , and a midget nun arrives to order teo down . this nun wears a headdress so exaggerated we never see her face , and form an instant opinion that she is , in fact , a man .\nthe arrival of a provincial fascist leads to an absurd public ceremony , all of the fascists trotting from the train station to the public square , where a papier - mache mussolini looks like a comic bulldog . the local youth go through gymnastics exercises no doubt connected to national security . we also glimpse their education , in a hilarious montage of classes in the local school , one interrupted by the most novel and ingenious delivery of urine that can possibly be imagined .\nthere is a poetic and melancholy side , too , as when fog blankets the town and the characters seek softly for their bearings , and when the great liner rex passes offshore and the townspeople all row out in their boats to watch it pass ( it is as artificial as the \u201cwaves\u201d the boats ride on , suggesting how much the national image depends on illusion ) . local imaginations are inflamed by what must go on at the grand hotel , which none of the locals can afford to step foot in , although gradisca , their heroine , figures in a popular legend there - - and so does the rummy - dummy , when a sultan\u2019s harem lets down their rope ladders for him . gradisca is their carnal fantasy , their symbol of hope , their good - hearted friend . she also supplies an example of the way fellini\u2019s films become his parallel autobiography ; gradisca is virtually the same character , in appearance and behavior , as carla ( sandra milo ) , marcello\u2019s mistress in \u201c8 1 / 2 . \u201d\nthe film\u2019s most beautiful scene involves the snowfall and the peacock feathers . the snow is plowed into impossibly tall walls to make a maze between which the boys and gradisca have a snowball fight . the saddest scene , at the beach , is gradisca\u2019s wedding to a slick fascist leader ; the marriage is of their hopes and their doom . she pulls away from her husband to throw her bride\u2019s bouquet , but there is no one to catch it .\nthe film is saturated with fellini\u2019s affection for these people , whose hopes are so transparent they can see through their own into another\u2019s . all of the fellini visual trademarks are here , including the half - finished scaffold that mediates between heaven and earth , and the grotesque faces of the extras , and the parades and processions , and always the nino rota music ( and his arrangements of standards , especially \u201cstormy weather\u201d ) . fellini shoots in color , and makes special use of the reds and whites of gradisca\u2019s outfits . he is careful to stay mostly in mid - and long - shot , the correct distance for comedy , and uses closeup mostly for intense longing .\nhis film seems almost to flow from the camera , as anecdotes will flow from one who has told them often and knows they work . if there is a bittersweet undertone , perhaps it is because fellini suspected the film business was changing and his funding and access would never again be the same ; this was the last of his films made for no better reason than fellini wanted to make it ."]}

scary city with its parades and crowded living environments , slums , and factories .\nfor the first time in my life i was very satisfied with the final result of a job . boy and the world brought me much relief in this regard .\nwilliam daniels had a reoccurring role as teacher\nmr . feeny ,\nin the television series ,\nboy meets world .\nwhether or not \u201cgirl meets world\u201d would have ever been as good as \u201cboy meets world\u201d is irrelevant . without question , the show received negative feedback from those who were hoping for a more focused continuation of \u201cboy meets world , \u201d and it is understandable that not everyone will enjoy a television show , but it\u2019s unfair to ignore what \u201cgirl meets world\u201d was able to accomplish on its own .\nbut it doesn\u2019t take long for the vibrant beauty of abreu\u2019s vision to unfurl and take hold . \u201cboy and the world\u201d is dazzlingly colorful and alive , often resembling a more elaborate version of the kind of childlike drawings you probably have stuck to your refrigerator door right now . his combination of rich hues and textures and evolving aesthetics makes \u201cboy and the world\u201d a constant wonder and joy to behold .\nboy and the world is the animated playtime that you never knew you wanted . like jacques tati\u2019s masterpiece , boy and the world is a plea for the world to reclaim its humanism away from the clutches of technology . in the case of this film , that request goes to apocalyptic levels as technology swallows up everything from the music that reminds the main character of his home to the lush landscapes that serve as his playground .\nthe disney channel\u2019s follow -

aged former boy meets world fan who checked it out said , according to fizziology , that it is \u201ctoo disney . \u201d\nfollowing boy meets world , danielle fischel channelled her inner joel mchale and hosted the dish on style network . she then starred in a few films and continued hosting various shows . now , like ben savage , she ' s reliving her role in girl meets world .\nfourteen years later , it was announced that \u201c girl meets world , \u201d a spin - off of \u201cboy meets world , \u201d would be coming to disney channel . the news was met with massive support , and avid fans of the boy - version show were excited to see if their favorite characters would be returning to the new series . as it turned out , the spin - off would be based on cory matthews\u2019 daughter , riley , as she followed a similar path through her teenaged years . \u201cgirl meets world\u201d included cameos from the cast of \u201cboy meets world , \u201d but allowed the show to mainly be about riley and her friends .\nan amazing brazilian animation that truly exemplifies the power of imagery and music as a combination that has more than enough to portray a powerful and deep message . it shows an adventurous quest that illustrates the issues of the modern world through the eyes of a child . a cautionary tale of globalization , the boy and the world teaches above all the dangers of the massification of the economy , of the mind , and of the soul .\nboy meets world is a 90 ' s sitcom about a boy , cory matthews , and his journey to adulthood . with him are his best friend shawn hunter , his girlfriend topanga lawrence , his charming yet silly older brother eric , and his teacher and next - door - neighbor george feeny .\nal\u00ea abreu\u2019s \u201c boy and the world \u201d unleashes the exuberance of a child on the harsh realities of brazil today . it\u2019s both the best children\u2019s animated film this year since \u201cinside out\u201d \u2014 you might call it \u201coutside in\u201d \u2014 and , unexpectedly , a more stirring depiction of the deadening modern megalopolis than most heal - the - world documentaries .\ndespite boy and the world having next to no dialogue , it speaks volumes . the film owes its loud voice to abreu\u2019s talent for storytelling and his rich , hand - drawn animation style . nominated for the best animated feature oscar in 2016 , it lost to pixar\u2019s inside out . however , boy and the world recently beat out a studio ghibli film to win a prestigious annie award in the category of best animated film - independent .\nmaybe it ' s us 70 ' s kids , or finding the surreal world my natural home . the jamie and\u2026\nstrong claimed that the twentysomething mr . turner was written into the show because friends was popular at the time . but he didn\u2019t quite fit into the show . boy meets world creator michael jacobs has said that we\u2019ll finally find out what happened to mr . turner on girl meets world .\nwhile \u201cgirl meets world\u201d absolutely did have moments that came across as being emotional in order to make the episode\u2019s lesson make sense , it is not fair to pretend that \u201cboy meets world\u201d did not also have the same moments . as an adult , it\u2019s easy to look at a show that is aimed for a child audience and criticize the complexity of its plot and character development , but at some point , perspective needs to be taken into account . \u201cgirl meets world\u201d was not designed to entertain everyone right away , just as \u201cboy meets world\u201d was not designed to appeal to adults initially . however , the main difference between the spin - off and the original is not found in what was included in both shows , but in how much more time \u201cboy meets world\u201d was given to develop and grow .\nthe cool thing about boy meets world is that it grew up with us . what started as a kids show about first crushes and dog - ate - my - homework schoolyard hijinx eventually developed into a thoughtful series that ( lightheartedly and humorously ) explored what happens after the boy meets the world and becomes familiar with its more mature , sometimes darker realities : heartbreak , loss , sex , alcohol , and , in one infamous episode , cults .\nwant more world of goo ? read our first interview with 2d boy right here and be sure to read our review of the game , which includes a nice video walkthrough , right here . keep up on the latest world of goo info by clicking on the thumbnail you see on your left .\nthis magical brazilian fantasy by al\u00ea abreu reminded me of nina paley ' s sita sings the blues and tomm moore ' s the secret of kells in its crafty combination of simply drawn characters ( the boy ) and ornate geometrical patterns ( the world ) .\nhe had a regular role in the young and the restless from 2009 to 2010 , and has also returned as alan in girl meets world here and there .\nmenino is aimed at children ages 4 - 7 and combines animation and live action , bringing together aspects from two acclaimed films into one series : the documentary on the way to school , which won the 2014 cesar for best documentary , and the boy and the world , the cristal winning and oscar - nominated brazilian animated feature by al\u00e9 abreu .\nafter the show\u2019s recent cancellation , many were left wondering what \u2018girl meets world\u2019 did wrong .\ntheir career was cut short by the nazis ' discriminatory racial laws , but the comedian harmonists ' impact was immeasurable . the a cappella sextet - the world ' s first boy band - was founded more than 85 years ago .\n\u201cgirl meets world\u201d debuted in june 2014 , garnering much chatter from nostalgic generations of fans who watched \u201c boy meets world . \u201d the show follows the lives of the now adult couple cory ( savage ) and topanga ( fishel ) , as they raise their kids riley ( blanchard ) and auggie ( august maturo ) in new york city .\nfans may know actor william daniels as the voice of k . i . t . t in\nknight rider\nor as the endearing mr . feeny in the ' 90s sitcom ,\nboy meets world .\n( although the movie\u2019s philosophical stance is always clear , its plot points sometimes are not , and things can get a tiny bit confusing given that all the crudely - drawn characters essentially look the same . i watched \u201cboy and the world\u201d with my 6 - year - old son and the question \u201cwho\u2019s that ? \u201d came up a lot . but he also loved the look of the film and the boy\u2019s playful spirit , as well as the infectious , samba - infused score from ruben feffer and gustavo kurlat . )\nfor boy meets world stans , girl meets world has been the gift that keeps on giving : in addition to keeping this story going for one more generation , the show has staged several miniature reunions of old cast members . now , it looks like the gift is giving again\u2014with the biggest reunion yet , according to the show\u2019s writers .\nbut the boy just can\u2019t be content with that . he follows his dad into - you guessed it - the world , which abreu elects to paint as an absolutely horrible place to live . the further the boy gets from his pastoral home , the more terrifying , lonely , and corrupt the world becomes . once he arrives in that big city , boy and the world immediately takes on a sociopolitical bent , mixing allegory and folklore with sharp criticisms of a nation with a penchant for reckless industrialism and wanton consumerism . where in brazil has abreu taken us ? maybe we\u2019re in rio de janeiro , or bras\u00edlia , or s\u00e3o paulo ; maybe the city is meant to be a composite of all three . as the boy gambols about in the film\u2019s opening minutes , he spots the city\u2019s towering , black - tipped spires looming ominously in the distance . we could be looking at mordor for all that it matters .\nthe show followed a young boy named cory matthews , played by ben savage , as he learned lessons through his everyday life . through seven years , and seven seasons , viewers saw cory , his friends , and his family grow up . \u201cboy meets world\u201d was unique from other family shows of its time , as it tackled difficult topics such as death , sexuality and domestic abuse , and the delicate way that the show handled these topics set it apart from its entertainment peers . once the show ended on may 5 , 2000 , fans were left wanting more from the \u201cboy meets world\u201d story , and wondered if they would ever hear from the matthews family again .\nthough the show will not return for season 4 , \u201cgirl meets world\u201d will continue to air around the world . the first three seasons will also continue to be presented on disney channel \u2019s digital platforms , the disney channel app and disney channel vod .\ni loved boy meets world . i did grow up with it . it ' s one of the few shows out there that teaches us something . by being the one show everybody remembers th . . . continue reading\ndesperately missing his father , the boy dares to journey to the city to find him . along the way , he meets field hands toiling through long days of picking cotton as well as downtrodden factory workers turning that cotton into fabric . the farther he wanders from home and the closer he gets to the teeming metropolitan center , the darker the look and tone of \u201cboy and the world\u201d become . the color - pencil pastels of the boy\u2019s rural life give way to garish decoupage in the urban street signs and advertising . the city may tower and glitter from afar , but up close it\u2019s steep , treacherous and overpopulated ; imagine favelas stacked on top of each other with trains crammed with miserable , monochrome commuters running through them .\nnow 89 , the world ' s favourite teacher has continued to have acting appearances since the show ended in 2000 .\nboy and the world is a kids film , albeit an incredibly dark one , but its psychedelic voyages into colorful , and later nightmarish fantasias , could just as easily make it a midnight crowd favorite . the visual style really can\u2019t be underestimated , melding digital and analog styles to create a symphony of color and music .\na stunning visual feat of colorful , crayon - like drawings that tells a cautionary tale of globalization , the boy and the world received excellent reviews and great buzz among animation fans at the festival . it was picked up by gkids for u . s . distribution and is widely expected to make an oscar push .\nthe six -

tech way to mass - produce their good leaving people without a job . the dangers of consumerism and the voracious nature of so - called progress are evident in how abreu depicts the false glimmer of a cosmopolitan city of the rich and the dismal poverty around it . it\u2019s admirable how \u201cboy and the world\u201d delivers a powerful message against social injustice in a totally cinematic fashion and a million times more effectively that any tiresome speech . it\u2019s activism from the heart through ingenious portrayals of these evils of the modern world , their perpetrators , and their victims . but let\u2019s be clear , even though \u201cboy and the world\u201d deals with intellectually complex topics , it\u2019s never less entertaining and enjoyable because of it . what\u2019s even more important is that it\u2019s never preachy in its approach .\nin the late 1960s , the world was in uproar . artists joined protest movements , and created subversive , radical and disturbing performances and happenings . an exhibition at the ludwig forum in aachen looks at the movement\u2019s avant - garde .\nan asylum seeker has been arrested after a six - year - old boy was raped at a reception centre .\nhe has also made returning appearances as eric in girl meets world in a number of episodes .\nal\u00ea abreu \u2019s \u201c boy and the world \u201d is unequivocally the best animated film of the year . drawn with the finest ends of an artist\u2019s heartstrings and painted with the colorful essence of undefeatable hope , abreu\u2019s utterly lyrical , visually captivating , musically driven , and extraordinarily sophisticated treasure is the animated equivalent of a childhood dream that thrives on sweet innocence and the pure ability to see the world truthfully for its dazzling beauty and its man - made dangers . as it continues to spellbind the globe with its unconventional artistry and thought - provoking observations , an oscar nomination would be a more than deserved crown jewel .\nthe short - series was critically acclaimed , and had a large fanbase that tuned - in every week to watch it . for the people who wrote the new show off because it was \u201ccringeworthy , \u201d go back and watch the first three seasons of \u201cboy meets world , \u201d and actually consider how similar the two shows actually were . consider how limited \u201cgirl meets world\u201d was with what it was able to include , as disney channel is not as willing to put out controversial content as it used to be . during a time when there are less and less television programs based around morality , \u201cgirl meets world\u201d set a good example for children who are growing up in an increasingly negative world .\nbrazilian animator ale abreu ' s hand - drawn animated tale is a beautiful , original story that ' s socially relevant but also sweetly entertaining for families . at first it might seem disconcerting that no one is speaking an understandable language , but dialogue is unnecessary . audiences can easily fill in what everyone is saying / meaning , and boy and the world ' s visuals and evocative score make up for the lack of language . as the boy travels in pursuit of his father , he realizes just how different the rest of the world is from his perceived paradise of a quiet farm town .\nwith his colourful and spritely animations , brazilian film director al\u00ea abreu has a powerful visual language that he uses to talk about the political situation in his homeland . his second animated film , o menino e o mundo ( boy and the world ) , is an intimate look into the complexities of early latin american history .\nwe never talked down to you and you knew that right away ,\njacobs said to the panel audience , full of\nboy meets world\nfans .\nwhat separated ' boy ' was that we operated thematically . we talked about what ' s next for you . we talked about friendship and how important it was . . . the three of those characters [ cory , topanga and shawn ] were so compelling , and we spun out from there .\nmeticulously hand - drawn , the crafted world is a marvel to behold . featuring a touching story of a small boy trying to reunite his family , this has more heart and soul and raises more questions about life through the eyes of a child than any of the blockbuster 3d animated films of last year . loved it and it has a powerful message and great soundtrack .\nhundreds of fans braved the cold , wind and rain at cineworld in edinburgh\u2019s fountain park to catch a glimpse of renton , spud , begbie , sick boy and the rest of the trainspotting gang come together after 21 years .\nfor me the best part of any animation is the possibility to transport us to another world where the fable has a very strong power . the fable pulls us away from reality , and at the same time brings us closer . it has the possibility to let us look at our world , and our lives through another lens , to better see it .\nenjoying girl meets world on its own merits , however , requires us to age in reverse and go back to the mindset of the first episodes of the boy meets world , which were , frankly , far more juvenile than the series grew to be . a major plot point in the girl meets world pilot has riley leading a \u201cno homework ! more freedom ! \u201d rebellion in her father\u2019s classroom . it ' s funny , but not to us . because we ' re not 12 years old anymore . but the disney channel ' s audience is .\nit ' s been more than a decade and a half since we waved goodbye to cory matthews and his friends in the coming - of - age ' 90s classic boy meets world , which taught us everything from how to have an epic bromance to how to rock a killer curtain haircut .\ngirl meets world airs fridays ( 8 : 30 p . m . et ) on disney channel .\nthis is all to say that , aside from the initial flutters of glee you\u2019ll get from seeing ben savage\u2019s and danielle fishel\u2019s first entrances , there\u2019s little for boy meets world fans to get excited about in girl meets world . in all likelihood , the millennials who couldn\u2019t wait for it to begin are the ones who aren\u2019t going to bother to watch a second episode . but we shouldn\u2019t really be surprised .\nboy and the world does eventually lean too hard on its environmental message of technology ruining the earth , especially in a scene that scraps away the animation for a montage of humanity\u2019s destruction . but even with that scene , this is still one of the best animated films of the year , and a reminder that even the most familiar thematic ground can be revitalized with a unique approach .\ncreated by brunner \u2014 known for his work on acclaimed films like the old lady and the pigeons , the triplets of belleville , brendan and ernest & celestine \u2014 menino and the children of the world ( 52 x 7 ) follows a little animated boy named menino who , in each episode , embarks on a journey to learn about the lives of real children in different , unique corners of the world . as curious as he is clumsy , menino shows viewers the joy and wonder of a traditional meal in the remote mountains of western china , a trip in the kenyan savannah or fishing from a canoe in the indian ocean .\nthe boy and the world follows the story of a small boy called cuca as he chases after his father who\u2019s gone to find work in the big city after not being able to support his family working the land of the colourful local village . the story progresses with cuca running away from home and meeting a variety of spirited characters as he gets closer and closer to the fictionalized metropolis \u2013 which has a remarkable amount in common with fritz lang\u2019s metropolis ( 1927 ) \u2013 dominating the horizon line . after traversing what is essentially the industrialized production process , including an accidental trip on a cargo ship and back , once inside the metropolis we meet the true villain of the film ; globalization .\nthe boy and the world premiered at ottawa international animation festival 2013 , and has gone on to win both the cristal award and the audience award for feature film at the annecy international animation film festival 2014 . it is expected to be distributed across the u . s . by gkids and will be among the 2015 oscar nominations . it is al\u00ea abreu\u2019s second animated feature film after garoto c\u00f3smico ( 2008 ) , which never saw a theatrical release outside of brazil .\nmulti - award - winning animation production and distribution company cyber group studios has joined forces with didier brunner\u2019s folivari and documentary production company winds to co - produce a new hybrid animation and live - action series : menino and the children of the world .\nif \u201cboy meets world\u201d ended after its third season , it\u2019s hard to believe that it would be remembered with even a shred of the reverence that it is today . instead , it was given the freedom to experience the growing pains that come with any \u201ccoming - of - age\u201d story . \u201cboy meets world\u201d was also able to include much more controversial topics in its program , in comparison to modern children\u2019s shows . the episodes that touch on difficult subject matter are what made the series so compelling , yet many of them did not begin appearing until after the third season of the show .\nmore than a decade after boy meets world ( 1993 ) , cory and topanga matthews are married and have two children . their daughter , riley , faces life lessons through her family , friends , and school - - where her father is her history teacher - - as her parents did when they were younger .\none of the major strengths of \u201cboy meets world , \u201d was the evolution that the show underwent as its main characters grew older . it allowed for the show to naturally shift its target audience to an older demographic , as the viewers who watched as children were quite literally growing up with the characters on the show . this created an innate connection between the viewers and the cast , as the lessons that cory matthews learned remained applicable to the core audience throughout the series .\nthat\u2019s a snooty way of saying that children may not find much in boy and the world to hang onto . but then again , maybe they will . kids are often deceptively smart and intuitive in ways that adults just aren\u2019t , after all . if abreu is determined not to lead viewers , young and old , around by their noses by hewing to a pesky linear narrative , then that either speaks to his eccentricity as a director or his respect for a child\u2019s comprehensive capacity . that feels like the obvious conclusion here : as you might guess by the title , boy and the world \u2019s hero is , well , a boy , living with his mother in their isolated , rural village when his father hops aboard a train to head to the big city and ostensibly find better opportunity for work within its urban embrace .\n\u201cyou look around here in edinburgh and scotland and you see people with the same problems and struggles .\none of those birds , by the way , happens to be a phoenix . should you take abreu\u2019s film as a dirge for our planet , let that creature serve as your symbol of hope ; for all of the film\u2019s nihilistic impulses , it is ultimately a paean instead of a threnody . we do ugly things to this world , abreu tells us , and all in the pursuit of achieving shallow , uglier aims . but it is our world , it is a beautiful world , and it is a world worth fighting for .\nfor years , lee was best known for playing school nerd stuart in the first couple of seasons of boy meets world , but in 2003 he landed the role of marvin ' mouth ' mcfadden in one tree hill , a show in which he appeared in 171 episodes .\ngirl meets world follows riley ( rowan blanchard ) , the daughter of power couple cory and topanga as she navigates a high school life of her own .\nopening with a kaleidoscopic vision , \u201c boy and the world \u201d instantly sets in motion a dynamic introduction to cuca , the boy , and his fascinating surroundings . from those very first frames it\u2019s clear we are dealing with moving illustrations where the hand of the wizard makes its presence visible in the use of crayons , color pencils , cutouts , oil paint , and everything in between . the strokes , the lines , and the natural textures of each technique give us the sense that we are witnessing a marvelous coloring book come to life via unimaginably fluid choreography . it just doesn\u2019t get any more palpable and real than that . the ways abreu takes hand - drawn animation to new and unexplored heights only escalate in amazement as the plot thickens .\nthere are few shows that we associate more closely with the ~ good ol\u2019 days ~ than boy meets world ! everything about the show \u2014 from the way it honestly represented adolescence , to the incredible and oh - so - 90s fashion \u2014 defined an era for many \u201890s kids . so much so that they brought it back , with a sequel called girl meets world , so that a whole new generation can learn the true meaning of # relationshipgoals from the best television couple of all time , cory and topanga !\nwhat was ' 90s television without boy meets world ? it ' s been 15 years since cory , topanga , shawn , and all the other characters you laughed , cried , and grew up with have been on the air , yet the show remains a favorite\u2014enough so that the disney channel even created the spin - off girl meets world last year , bringing most of the storylines ( even shawn ' s girlfriend , angela ! ) back to life . but what else have the beloved cast members been up to ? find out , ahead .\ni discovered the boy character in a scrawl that i had done in a notebook for another project , an animated documentary which was named canto latino . it was intended as a glance into the history of the formation of the latin countries . it was a project with huge political , social , and economic dimensions . i decided to put that documentary aside when i found the boy drawing .\nonce cuca brings us back to where it all started , abreu still has one delicate final twist that confronts us with the things we left behind in a simpler past , our unfulfilled dreams lost in the notion of what we thought our lives would be , and those endearing memories that keep us going . \u201cboy and the world\u201d is a multicolored tapestry of endless ambition that stimulates our intellect and embraces our hearts . to say i loved this film would be a blatant understatement , just like cuca treasures his beloved father\u2019s song as a keepsake for future inspiration , i will dearly hold \u201cboy and the world\u201d among a select group of timeless delights that won\u2019t ever fail to make me smile .\nhow has the reception been so far for world of goo ? we loved it , but different strokes for different folks , and all of that . . .\nperhaps the most surprising boy meets world guest star is blake sennett , who would go on to be the lead guitarist for the band rilo kiley and frontman of the elected . during his child acting days , sennett went by the name blake soper . like scott , he played a school bully : joseph \u201cjoey the rat\u201d epstein . his first appearance was in season two and he popped up periodically until the episode \u201cgraduation\u201d in season five .\nboy ' s journey a powerful one , because all he wants is his father back home . this is the kind of story begging to be analyzed for its multiple layers , so parents and kids ( depending on their ages ) can have several different conversations about all of the film ' s themes and imagery . but the boy ' s desire for his father is ultimately most compelling - - and how his journey takes him to places where he sees the extremes in which people can live is eye opening . . . not just for the boy , but for viewers , too .\nthough it hasn\u2019t been confirmed , most boy meets world fans believe that john adams high school is a nod to daniels\u2019s career . he played john adams in the musical and film version of 1776 . another reference to his career : mr . feeny calls the graduate a \u201cgreat film . \u201d daniels played mr . braddock in the movie .\ngrand prix \u2013 feature film went to the boy and the world by al\u00ea abreu . the jury for the feature film , jung henin , sini\u0161a juri\u010di\u0107 and mihai mitrica , awarded a film that uses innovative artwork , combines both political and emotional feelings , that took us in a coulourful trip . special mention for feature film went to the fake ( sang -

stick cookware and alternatives to aluminum . stainless steel , which seems to be the healthiest alternative is expensive , and it doesn\u2019t lend itself well to cooking eggs , pancakes and other dishes that non - stick cookware typically excels at .\ni encourage you to reach way back in the drawer , or to look in the basement or garage for your long lost cast iron skillet and dutch oven . if you think you don ' t even own one , refrain from purchasing a new one - they ' re not the same . simply ask someone in your family for great grandma anne ' s or aunt dora ' s fyring pan . or , get thee to a tag sale .\nthere ' s nothing like the oldies - they are truly goodies . let them be your workhorse \u2013 they\u2019re also an easy clean up ! discover the benefits of cast iron cooking !\nreplacing a non - stick skillet with a cast iron one allows you to avoid the toxic fumes that accompany most non - stick cookware . cast iron can also replace aluminum cookware , which may also pose health hazards .\nbesides the stove , you can use a cast iron skillet in the oven , at any temperature . this comes in handy for making everything from corn bread , to frittatas and flat bread \u2013 or simply roasting root vegetables and more .\ncast iron is easy to clean up . not only does food easily lift off from cast iron cookware , soap is not needed or recommended , since it erodes the seasoning .\nthere are health benefits . you can actually boost your iron intake from eating food cooked in cast iron cookware . this vital mineral is crucial for maintaining energy levels , and it helps strengthen immune systems .\nit is inexpensive . cooks looking to replace non - stick cookware often investigate stainless . however , a high - end , 12 - inch stainless skillet runs well over $ 100 , while a similar - sized cast iron one costs less than $ 30 . look for affordable used cast iron at tag sales , garage sales and antique stores .\nfood cooks beautifully . using a cast iron skillet you can create restaurant - quality , homemade fish sticks , potato pancakes and french toast , complete with golden brown , crispy exteriors . compare this to non - stick cookware , which makes browning nearly impossible .\ncast iron is sturdy and wears well . since it does not scratch , there is no need to use plastic utensils , and there is no fear of using your silverware to stir or scoop . cast iron lasts forever ! many people still use cast iron cookware inherited from their parents and grandparents .\nin an emergency , cast iron cookware can be used over any heat source . as such , many disaster planning lists include cast iron as the survival cookware of choice .\nit has been used for thousands of years . many of us already understand how new technologies are often the least healthy , while those used by earlier generations are often more beneficial and more in line with how we are designed . our cookware choice is no exception .\nwe ' ll talk more about outdoor cooking with cast iron - it ' s truly an easy button for all ages .\nwhen cooking in your cast iron , keep it simple to start - think oven and veggies freshly picked from your square foot garden , especially root veggies such as carrots , potatoes , parsnip , beets & fennel . a splash of olive oil or little coconut oil , sea salt and pepper . then you can become more adventurous with fritattas and gratins .\nalthough , there are many benefits to cast iron cooking , make sure to understand that some folks consider there to be drawbacks - so , before you start : cast iron pans are very heavy ; they require intentional maintenance in order to keep them rust - free and non - stick ( but , i don ' t follow that code of cast iron ) ; and care is needed if you have a glass - top stove . it ' s worth it , and it ' s really not much of an effort - more of an easy button , i like to think . . . and , better for your health , if you are cooking ."]}

like reality that relies heavily on grand vistas and an atmospheric score by the national . mimicking the disjointed cadences of the novel that inspired it , the film is less a character study than it is a meditative portrait of artistic ennui . while at times this more contemplative approach puts the film in danger of becoming a study in navel - gazing , polish manages to pull back by shooting the film with a simplicity that works to underscore rather than overwhelm kerouac\u2019s state of mind . a delicate , exquisite - looking film , big sur is a brief , glittering portrait of an artist .\nlooking for ideas & inspiration for your big day ? watch more weddings with similar attributes .\nthe film is driven by narration taken from passages of kerouac ' s own prose , which celebrate the enthusiasm and passion he holds for life while his addictions eat away at his body and mind .\nearly on , tom waits tosses out the gem that \u201c big sur always reminded me of a chronicle of a man being eaten by ants . \u201d before delivering a bebop influenced reading of kerouac\u2019s drive down the big sur coast , former grateful dead lyricist robert hunter echoes waits\u2019 sentiment by enthusing that the 1962 novel \u201cis an ugly , ugly book of ugly places in the mind , of sordid places in the psyche . \u201d and it\u2019s poet aram saroyan who nails the tone of big sur before kerouac descends into madness . he says : \u201cit\u2019s like a goofy holy man\u2019s journal in this wonderful place . the first 40 pages , or whatever it is , of the book is just like a little kid exploring in nature . \u201d\nbosworth is among the stars in polish & apos ; s big sur \u2014 a 2012 film based on author jack kerouac & apos ; s legendary life . at last week & apos ; s coldplay show , bosworth couldn & apos ; t help herself , according to a witness :\nshe kept hanging all over him , kissing him , coming up behind him and squeezing him while kissing the back of his neck and biting his ear !\nbig sur is a humane , precise account of the extraordinary ravages of delirium tremens on kerouac , a superior novelist who had the strength to complete his poetic narrative despite his affliction . here we meet san francisco s poets and recognize dean moriarty , ten years after on the road . at the peak of his suffering , kerouac was able to write through it all , ending this book with a tribute to the hallucinatory sounds of the pacific ocean at big sur [ barnes and noble ] .\ntakal strove to make the movie without getting in the way of big sur residents\u2019 daily lives . \u201cone of the things that was really important to me was to have a small enough crew that we wouldn\u2019t be an intrusion on people , \u201d she says .\nmiller , famed for his explicit novel\ntropic of cancer ,\nlived and worked in big sur between 1944 and 1962 , drawn to the stretch of coast ' s idyllic setting and a revolving cadre of creative , kind , hard -

suicidal ferocity without using their language is probably futile , as walter salles\u2019s disappointing screen adaptation of \u201con the road\u201d ( 2012 ) suggested . there were kerouac quotations in \u201con the road\u201d but not nearly enough to sustain the electric current that runs through the much more modest \u201cbig sur . \u201d\n\u201cjust being surrounded by mountains , i find so humbling , \u201d she says . \u201cif i\u2019m trapped in my own self -

up comedian ' s first real triumph was the 1979 carl reiner - directed movie the jerk . martin starred as navin r johnson , the simpleton adopted white son of african - american sharecroppers . the jerk is a warm and engagingly silly film , featuring jokes about cat jugglers , but at the time of its release it had a mixed reception .\nit took a long time to get over the bad reviews ,\nmartin later said . he added that british comedian peter sellers had offered him great encouragement at what was a difficult time in his career .\namerican detective charlie congers ( bronson ) is sent to the swiss alps to find and protect jackie ( jill ireland ) , the lover of a notorious gangster so that she can potentially testify against him . the stakes become even higher for congers when he and jackie fall in love and the jealous crime lord sends out assassins to put a permanent end to their budding romance .\nthe movie doesn ' t really care . it ' s all texture and no plot , which is fine for a travelog but not so hot for a thriller . there ' s so little dialog we begin to suspect that ' s deliberate : has the wordage in this movie been kept to a minimum to make it easier to dub for the international market ? thrillers , even sure\npure\nthrillers as hitchcock ' s\nnorth by northwest ,\nwork on some level because we ' ve gotten to know the characters and care about them .\nlove and bullets\nseems to expect us to care about bronson simply because he is bronson the attempts to flesh out his character are brief and routine .\nmore and more screens , rising ticket prices , and a more affluent ticket - buying middle class means that records will continue to be broken rather rapidly ( to the professional delight of these upbeat chinese producers and investors ) . but let the bullets fly owes its success to deliberate design . this chinese action comedy connected with audiences and critics in an unprecedented way , earning a kind of across - the - board critical and public acclaim that i haven\u2019t seen in the eight years i\u2019ve been in china .\nwoody\u2019s fourth and , thus far , final london film is a lightly cynical ensemble juggling act , taking in gold - digging , psychic love advice and ambulance - chasing literary plagiarism . josh brolin is well cast as a desperate novelist , but gemma jones has the best of it as the jilted wife of anthony hopkins , whose new girlfriend is a tacky ex - hooker ( lucy punch ) . allen , alas , seems above all of his characters here , and inflicts petty twists of fate on them which feel forced and malicious rather than wise or illuminating .\nhe first film in which allen directed diane keaton was also , perhaps not coincidentally , the first film to suggest he had more in him than than madcap , gag - driven comedies . ( they appeared in a film together before his directing days ) . that\u2019s not to say sleeper isn\u2019t as madcap and gag - driven as his earliest work : a film about a health food shop owner who falls into a vat of liquid nitrogen and wakes up 200 years later kind of has to be . but allen\u2019s painting with new colours here : romance , melancholy , and even \u2013 gasp ! \u2013 coherent plotting , while the uproarious robot butler sequence showcased his talent for silent - era physical clowning .\nalso agree about the casting of the child . i actually think the stills of bennent are far more powerful than his performance in the film .\nthis movie marks the second time that star actor charles bronson has appeared in a movie written by wendell mayes . mayes adapted brian garfield ' s death wish ( 1974 ) novel and wrote the story and co - wrote the film script for this picture . this movie was made and released about five years after death wish ( 1974 ) and some dvd tag - lines emphasize that this film is from the writer of death wish ( 1974 ) .\na gift from aphrodite , wonder woman\u2019s lasso makes persuasive capacity external and material rather than something internally sourced . in ancient greek textual and material culture , and from nuptial vases to cultic spaces , aphrodite was often accompanied by peith\u014d ( persuasion ) , also a goddess . in his descriptions of greece , the second - century ce historian pausanias peered through dense mythic mist to report that when the hero theseus united attica , he established a shrine with two statues on the acropolis to hold the union together : one of aphrodite pand\u0113mos ( all the people\u2019s goddess of love ) and the other of peith\u014d ( 1 . 22 . 3 ) . a capacious love joined with persuasion made political unification possible .\nchow yun - fat\u2019s depraved , corrupt , and powerful monopoly - capitalist huang silang appears to be the purest villain of the piece : brilliant but dishonourable , lacking moral restraints . he could be , in allegorical terms , an embodiment of the corrupt capitalist base of chiang kai - shek\u2019s kuomintang , the \u201cnationalist\u201d party who temporarily brought a kind of order to warlord - ridden china shortly after the period in which this film takes place , and who were subsequently overthrown by the communists in 1949 , partly because the kuomintang\u2019s venality and corruption drove people to the ccp . or huang silang could equally well incarnate the nexus of local power and corruption that has taken over the communist party since deng xiaoping introduced capitalist reforms after 1979 and jiang zemin opened the floodgates to massive official corruption in the \u201890s .\nan older bronson paired with jill ireland typically doom a film from the onset . fortunately this film benefits from an interesting location ( switzerland ) , the casting of some of the best character actors working at the time ( strother martin , michael v . gazzo , paul koslo and henry silva ! ) , and a crazed performance by rod steiger . with this dream cast the film must be a winer . . . sadly no . it ' s good but charlies\nblow - dart\nattacks on the mafia hitmen is a real letdown and jill ireland is more annoying than usual .\nallen cast a fond eye back to the hollywood musicals of his childhood for this all - singing , star - stuffed confection , which follows a clan of wealthy manhattanites chasing after love in new york , venice and paris . edward norton , drew barrymore , julia roberts and goldie hawn are among the game cast singing their hearts out . despite those names it was a commercial flop , and its airiness can sometimes play as insubstantial . but when the film works , it really works : not least when hawn defies gravity on the banks of the seine in its magical finale .\nthis picture was not the first time that star actors rod steiger and charles bronson worked on the same film production . previously , the two had both appeared in the 1950s westerns jubal ( 1956 ) and run of the arrow ( 1957 ) .\ntruthfully this isn\u2019t all that great of a film but it\u2019s hard for me as a bronson fan to come right out and say it . when he\u2019s on screen he dominates so what can i say .\neceived wisdom has it that manhattan is a cinematic love letter to new york . but it\u2019s actually the opposite : a thank - you card from new york , via allen , to cinema \u2013 for the alchemical process by which light and shade and music can turn buildings and streets into a miraculous , shared dream of a city . in theory it\u2019s a romantic comedy , though its romance and humour are by turns anxious and wistful , and its characters come weighed down by manifold flaws and neuroses ( not least the troublesome may - september romance between isaac , allen\u2019s conflicted comedy writer , and mariel hemingway\u2019s 17 - year - old student ) .\nit\u2019s a glorious premise , explored by allen and his cast to dazzlingly funny ends . what gives the film its existential bite , though , is a two - part acknowledgement late in the game : firstly , that the beautiful solace film offers is a lie , and secondly , that it doesn\u2019t matter . watching it , you feel ( and probably look ) like farrow\u2019s heroine : a smiling face in the dark , lit up , flickering , alive .\nalexander payne was just at the tribeca film festival for a director\u2019s series edition of tribeca talks , where he revealed that \u201cdownsizing\u201d was the most difficult film he\u2019s ever made . dick cavett moderated the discussion , which eventually touched on the icy reception of his ambitious drama released last year . matt damon and hong chau star in the film , whose out - there premise helped make it one of the most anticipated films of 2017 . payne said it was difficult on every level \u2014 writing , financing , editing \u2014 and also addressed the lukewarm reviews it was met with upon opening late last year , suggesting that its ambitious narrative may have been too much to fit into the framework of a single film . payne was also asked whether any of his movies would be different if he made them today . \u201cif you\u2019re an open director , you cannot help but have the winds of history blow through your film ,\nsteve martin was nominated for a best actor golden globe for his portrayal of gil buckman in director ron howard ' s sentimental comedy . the film was a box - office smash hit , grossing more than \u00a3120 million worldwide . keanu reeves also starred in the film . in real life , martin is a talented banjo player .\nif you happen to be a chinese film producer , china looks like the promised land , if not the wild west\u2014a place that\u2019s available , for the taking , with its doors wide open . ( though if you\u2019re an activist in the marginal non - governmental sphere these days , the picture looks quite different ) . 2010 box - office numbers continued their exponential rise , with blockbuster hit succeeding blockbuster hit all the way to december . and the biggest box - office earner yet in chinese movie history is jiang wen\u2019s let the bullets fly ( rang zidan fei ) . released in december , jiang\u2019s eagerly awaited film raced past the record set by feng xiangang\u2019s aftershock ( 2010 ) , which held up for a scant five months .\nothers have criticised herzog for being monomaniacal and exploitative . after the filming of heart of glass , co -

age visions in the final year of the 1970s , reflecting the afterglow of the apollo program while anticipating president ronald reagan ' s weird obsession with building a space - based laser defense system during the 1980s .\nsteve martin plays private investigator rigby reardon in this 1982 comedy directed by carl reiner . it ' s a parody and celebration of the forties film noir thrillers and has a running gag ( a vaudeville routine tribute ) in which martin goes berserk every time he hears the phrase :\nthe cleaning lady\n. using splicing and trick photography the black - and - white film also has appearances from celebrated actors and actresses including ingrid bergman , humphrey bogart , james cagney , joan crawford , bette davis and lana turner . legendary costume designer edith head , who had created outfits for films such as double indemnity ( 1944 ) , notorious ( 1946 ) and sunset boulevard ( 1950 ) , created more than 20 suits for martin .\nthe film also received a dm300 , 000 government film award which helped fund his next projects , including fata morgana , a trek through the sahara in search of mirages , and a wildly offbeat feature , even dwarfs started small , the story of an anarchist uprising in a criminal institution for small people . this picture caused uproar when shown at the 1970 new york film festival , with herzog accused of fascism for what was perceived as a satire on the 1968 student uprisings , and of exploiting his actors :\nthey were performing in some sort of a ' tiny town ' amusement park ,\nhe counters .\nfor the first time they got some real , decent work and enjoyed it tremendously .\nt opens with one of allen\u2019s most vividly written , shot and acted scenes ever , as judy davis and sydney pollack arrive for dinner and announce their separation plans . the way their best friends , allen and farrow , respond \u2013 shocked , but also offended \u2013 turns this into a rapid marvel of four - way characterisation . this is allen\u2019s most scorching anatomy of marital bonds , a film so bitter , witheringly frank and unsentimental he entirely reinvented his style of shooting and editing for it .\nas i said i haven\u2019t read the novel ( yet ) but i wonder how grass handled the problem of a boy talking like an adult . that he behaves like one i disagree with ; he keeps playing with toys even when the bullets fly . but i agree there\u2019s an uneven mix between adult and childish behaviour . i\u2019ve always seen oskar as a boy who\u2019s born fully formed : how else can he make a conscious decision not to grow at age three ?\nfter a run of russet - hued collaborations with cinematographer darius khondji , allen is working here for the first time with the venerable vittorio storaro , and the change has done him the good . a couple of scenes with bobby and vonnie together are the most visually beautiful sequences in an allen film in goodness knows how long . and then there ' s\nf allen\u2019s many mooted returns to form , here\u2019s the film that actually was one : a lacerating comedy of financial and romantic recessions , and his best work since his extraordinary mid - career hot streak came crunching to a halt in the early 1990s . cate blanchett won an oscar for her heart - tightening performance in the title role \u2013 a kind of blanche dubois of park avenue brought low by her husband\u2019s economic chicanery . jasmine\u2019s dogged denial of her desperate circumstances is the fire under the film\u2019s feet , and watching her crumble is agonising , thrilling \u2013 and , most damning of all , great fun .\ndue to hijack and terrorism threats from the terrorist organization the baader -

cookie insights that some of allen\u2019s lesser pictures call philosophy . here he\u2019s thinking deeply about moral choice , the question of whether guilt in your own eyes or the eyes of the world matters more . this bubblingly wise film , rich with beautifully dovetailing metaphors about blindness and conscience and the perils of self - knowledge , has only grown in stature since its release . it is allen on soaring form , gliding so elegantly through its maze of ideas it\u2019s as if the spirit of fred astaire gave it lift - off .\nlondon films achieved the weird distinction of getting no theatrical release in its place of origin , despite the returning presence of scarlett johansson , and hugh jackman in the lead . the reasons are simple : it\u2019s flagrantly disposable , continues allen\u2019s embarrassing love affair with a london that doesn\u2019t exist , and cooks up no intrigue worth bothering with , for all the ins and outs of its thin man - esque plot . the one redeeming feature , surprisingly , is allen himself , in the supporting role of an amusingly befuddled stage magician called the great splendini .\nsteve martin joined up with singer and songwriter randy newman ( and saturday night live ' s lorne michaels ) to write this spoof western , directed by john landis . newman also contributed some songs . martin ( lucky day ) , chevy chase ( dusty bottoms ) and martin short ( ned nederlander ) star as the hollywood silent film actors who portray the amigos on screen and get dragged into a real -

greaved leg in the ancient world and one in ours . the imminent release of the first full - length , live - action wonder woman film is an occasion for classical reception work that joins dynamic efforts already underway on the classics and comics and the classics and modern fantasy . the decades of interpretive enthusiasm wonder woman has inspired , however , make it difficult to put a new spin on things .\ndescribed by janet maslin , the new york times critic , as the\nconsummate poet of doom ,\nherzog is one of cinema ' s most crusading directors . along with wim wenders and the late rainer werner fassbinder , he has led german film - making out of the post - war doldrums and into a period of rebirth . this has been mirrored by a personal quest for a\ncinema of illiterates\n, that has led him to explore subjects such as collective insanity ( in heart of glass ) and the rise of nazism ( in his new film invincible , which opens this week ) and taken him to the depths of the peruvian jungle , ( for films such as aguirre , the wrath of god and fitzcarraldo ) and the sahara desert ( for fata morgana ) .\nfacing deportation back to germany , he fled to mexico where he worked at the charreada , the mexican equivalent of rodeo . this period has since mutated into reports that he was a gun -

workers through misery\n.\nthe most enigmatic figure is jiang wen\u2019s zhang muzhi , whose own identities are multiple . he is muzhi , former soldier in the xinhai revolutionary army and something of a complicated idealist . at the same time , he impersonates the fearsome bandit zhang mazi , pillaging towns in the area of sichuan where the film is set . ( all three main characters , in fact , have double identities : huang silang has an idiot double for protection , and councillor tang is in fact ma bangde , the would - be county governor in waiting . ) he\u2019s also very clearly jiang wen playing someone much like jiang wen , the dominant force and omnipresent onscreen auteur of the film . jiang is immediately present , maintaining control with his macho dominance of shot and setting and tone , and exploiting all his gifts : physical charisma , theatrical verbal command , and a powerful moral charisma emanating from the jiang wen persona well known to ( and revered by ) chinese audiences .\nallen has often shown an interest in stage magic and hypnotism ( see also : scoop , magic in the moonlight ) , but this enthusiasm reached its unfortunate nadir in this dodo of a light comedy , his most expensive film ( it cost $ 33m ) and by his own reckoning among the worst . his own performance as a wisecracking insurance investigator hypnotised into jewel theft was one problem , but helen hunt doesn ' t fare much better as the ruthless efficiency expert he wants off his back . all the film achieves is managing to look lavishly nostalgic for a more sexist era .\nthe chemistry between eddie murphy and steve martin works terrifically in this satire on hollywood film - making . martin stars as director robert k ' bobby ' bowfinger and murphy plays actor jefferson ' jiff ' ramsey . the film was directed by frank oz . asked whether he would like to be a director one day , martin replied :\neven after all these years of doing films , the camera , the lenses . . . maybe i ' m a little bit lazy , i don ' t know . i like dealing with the script , i like dealing with the comedy .\njackie pruit is the girlfriend of gangster joe bomposa , and when her life is endangered by some of his henchmen , the fbi begins to protect her . the agency , hoping that she will be able to supply them information they can use to put bomposa in prison , assigns agent charlie congers to her case . congers soon learns that jackie does not have any useful information for the fbi , and he also quickly falls in love with her . but in spite of the fact that jackie cannot incriminate him , bombosa decides he wants her dead . his men slip through security and kill her , but no one anticpated the intensity of anger and determination for vengeance of congers .\ninstead , in 1963 , he accepted a fulbright grant to study literature and theatre at the university of pittsburg . on the atlantic crossing he met martje grohmann , on a fulbright to study literature in wisconsin :\none day werner came to our table and talked about one of his dreams that he had the night before ,\nshe remembers .\nit was so visual , so visionary i would say that it impressed me very much . he came more often and i thought , my god , he has the quality of a biblical prophet or something .\nafter a courtship conducted mostly on deck playing shuffle -

maoist allegory ; a post - socialist or post - capitalist text ; a subversive anti - communist work . can it be all of these ? a brief look at the genre , plot , and characters of the film can show how it presents a corresponding allegory for almost every kind of ideologically engaged viewer .\nseemingly unconvinced , richard takes the conversation into geopolitics , claiming that nazi \u201cchains\u201d seem inordinately stronger \u201cthan the bonds of personal charm . \u201d marston concedes a difference between persuasive charm and dominating force , but he points out that hitler initially gained power by \u201cstirring oratory and personal magnetism\u201d \u2014 the magic lasso method stretched from interpersonal relations to mass communication \u2014 as did mussolini , churchill , and fdr . many can be captivated by persuasion , but the trick is never to surrender independent judgment . wonder woman can be bound by the power of others , and she may want to be bound temporarily for some greater strategic purpose , but ultimately she has the power to break free from whatever contraption used to keep her down . her bracelets , also from aphrodite , are emblematic of her strange relationship with resistance and submission , since they repel bullets but also , when held together tightly , make her weak .\nllen does pygmalion , complete with a borscht belt greek chorus , although the jumbled , snobbish and emotionally curdled results fall noticeably short of mythic . a well -

loved fiction from the 1900\u2019s to her death in 1962 , often under pseudonyms , most prolifically as isak dinesen who is credited as the author of babette\u2019s feast . glyn maxwell\u2019s new adaptation will tell the story of martine and philippa , two sisters living in a remote coastal village with their father , the dean . they live pious , simple lives until babette arrives at their door , a refugee fleeing from the french civil war seeking sanctuary . the sisters welcome her into their home and she works as their cook , feeding the locals for many years . in a selfless act of thanksgiving , babette creates a lavish feast for the people of the town .\nin bruce bassoff ' s essay ,\nbabette can cook : life and art in three stories by isak dinesen ,\nhe argues that martine and philippa are\nshallow\nwhile babette is\ndeep .\nin this argument , bassoff oversimplifies dinesen ' s conclusion in\nbabette ' s feast .\nit is babette ' s artistic abilities , and the way she has incorporated them in her everyday life for the past 12 years , that has helped refine the artistry of the life of the sisters . when they learn that babette was once a cook to an elderly priest , dinesen writes ,\nthe sisters resolved to surpass the french priest in asceticism .\noutsiders like babette are challenged by the sisters ' life artistry and forced to find new outlets for their talents . in the end , though it takes babette ' s obvious culinary artistry to make the sisters , and their readers , more fully appreciate their lives , martine and philippa have already lived the full life of spiritual artists .\nbabette herself is magnificently played by sheila atim , yet i feel she has not been given enough to work with . although the play is titled after her , the production is focused mainly on the sisters and their community , with babette as a symbol more than a character . the production\u2019s dessert \u2013 her conversation with philippa and martine as to why she provided the feast \u2013 is atim\u2019s greatest moment , but it comes almost as an afterthought in the play\u2019s final minutes .\nholding a philosophy of \u2018all are welcome here\u2019 remains absolutely vital , but babette\u2019s difference ( notably , it is unclear whether this production has been race - blind in casting ; the colour of babette\u2019s skin is never brought up , but it nonetheless lends another perspective on this all - white norwegian village ) , her language , her revolutionary life , and her exquisite and exotic cooking tests the villagers\u2019 practice . after twelve years of working in silence for the two sisters , babette insists on preparing an elaborate feast for the village . determined to respect her only prayer , the sisters and villagers agree , and vow not to comment on the feast as it occurs , in order to respect babette .\nbut she does something different . while the community prepares for the 100 th birthday celebration of the dead pastor , babette offers to throw a proper french feast in his honor . skeptical , and a bit worried about what a \u201cfrench meal\u201d might mean morally speaking , the sisters oblige babette , if only in gratitude for her years of service . they have no idea what this will mean , nor does the viewer . who would expect that the last half of the film will be focused on this meal , even if it is called babette\u2019s feast ?\nbabette ' s offering is a ritual sacrifice , intended to encourage the austere characters with the possibility that their material nourishment may provide spiritual sustenance as well .\ndinesen ' s equivalent for st . barbara ' s wafer and cup are babette ' s exotic food and drink . the understatement\nbabette can cook\nflowers not only into the sensory marvels of her culinary art but also into the spiritually saving grace that partaking of her food brings to her guests . perhaps babette began mastering this art even prior to her work at the cafe anglais\u2014when as a girl she was cook\nto an old priest who was a saint .\nin any event , the berlevaag food becomes the actual body ( wafer ) and blood ( wine ) of christ , according to the catholic doctrine of transubstantiation . one odd detail that emphasizes this\nactual presence\nis martine ' s gruesome recollection , following the feast , of the story of a missionary who discovered that he had eaten\na small fat grandchild of the chief ' s cooked in honor of the great christian medicine man .\nbabette ' s feast is another such instance of holy cannibalism .\nnow there was no cream , puffy pastries or a whiff of a croissant , but babette\u2019s dessert looked amazing . it was a bundt kinda cake thing . so that\u2019s what we\u2019re making \u2013 kugelhopf from the good life france .\ni love the joy these villagers get from babette\u2019s kind of shocking menu and i must admit i was a bit surprised by the turtle soup and the cow\u2019s head . but that\u2019s french food for you , baby ! this is a very simple , delightful movie about love lost , about choosing a particular life for yourself and sacrificing everything to maintain it . ultimately , it\u2019s about how food , a meal , a feast can bring people together , mend old grievances and bring joy !\ncosy and humble : amy borsuk whets her appetite with glyn maxwell\u2019s stage adaptation of karen blixen\u2019s 1958 short story , but leaves wanting more .\nit is not until that moment that at least one of the sisters fully appreciates babette ' s sacrifice for her art . philippa is moved by babette ' s words in the last pages of\nbabette ' s feast .\nthough babette was against the rich in the french civil war from which she escaped , her style of cooking was meant to be appreciated by such people before the uprising changed life in the city . it is only then that philippa , and the reader , really understands that while babette has not been able to be the artist she was meant to be for many years while in the sisters ' employ , she has made her life a reflection of her artistry . that is , babette found means of expressing her art in smaller ways\u2014on smaller , odder canvases\u2014than in the one meal she made in honor of the dean ' s one hundredth birthday . achille papin , the singer / teacher who was connected with philippa in her youth and who sent babette to the sisters ' door , was able to relate this idea best for babette . while describing the longing to do one ' s best as an artist , babette quotes papin as saying ,\nthrough all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist : give me leave to do my utmost !\nbabette\u2019s importance comes to a head when she receives a letter from france notifying her that she\u2019s won the lottery\u2014an amount of money that would easily take her back to france and give her a fresh start . given the glib community of puritans in which she\u2019s found herself , that sounds like a no - brainer .\nthen one day a french woman , babette , comes to the city , and upends everything . while working as a housekeeper in the village , babette discovers that she won a lottery back in paris and instead of taking the money and returning home , she spends it all on a true \u201cfrench feast . \u201d\nat once a rousing paean to artistic creation , a delicate evocation of divine grace , and the ultimate film about food , the oscar - winning babette\u2019s feast is a deeply beloved treasure of cinema . directed by gabriel axel and adapted from a story by isak dinesen , it is the lovingly layered tale of a french housekeeper with a mysterious past who brings quiet revolution in the form of one exquisite meal to a circle of starkly pious villagers in late nineteenth - century denmark . babette\u2019s feast combines earthiness and reverence in an indescribably moving depiction of sensual pleasure that goes to your head like fine champagne .\nif africa was for dinesen a\nchild she had buried\nand could only talk or write about from a distance , and if\nbabette ' s feast\nis all about the creation of a work of art as the therapeutic medium for\ntalking\nabout loss , we may suggest that dinesen too , like the sisters \u2026\nused\nthis narrative for her own therapeutic needs\u2026 . created as a symptom of her need to grieve , as a vehicle for facilitating the grieving process , and as a subtle commentary on the intricate relationship between writing and bereavement ,\nbabette ' s feast\nperhaps best known for out of africa ( 1937 ) , isak dinesen is the pseudonym of karen blixen . having established her reputation as an author in the 1930s and 1940s , she sought to increase her income in the 1950s by having stories published in american magazines . a number of her stories were featured in ladies ' home journal , including\nbabette ' s feast ,\nwhich was first published in 1950 . a friend had advised her to write about food because americans love food , so she crafted a story about the transformative powers of a very special feast . in 1958 ,\nbabette ' s feast ,\nalong with other stories published in magazines , was compiled into anecdotes of destiny , which was available as of 2004 .\nlike other saints , babette is a sacrificial victim whose life and death are associated with salvation and the miraculous . although we assume that babette does not literally die at the end of the story , sly dinesen opens the door for that possibility when philippa , in her final gesture , puts her arms around babette and feels\nthe cook ' s body like a marble monument against her own .\nmetaphorically , babette has already become a marble saint ' s statue . her figurative\ndeath\nhas been prepared for by the fact that , following the guests ' departure , martine and philippa go to the kitchen and find babette sitting\non the chopping\nblock ,\nwhite and \u2026 deadly exhausted .\nbabette on the chopping block alludes to st . barbara ' s death by having her head cut off .\ndinesen ' s definition of the artist also applies to the sisters , whose story makes up the majority of the text , but each in a slightly different way . like babette , both sisters choose to live to the utmost , using self - discipline , sacrifice , and faith as their colors . after the meal , however , it is philippa , the younger sister , who understands better than her elder sister martine that babette is an artist . philippa makes an emotional connection to babette at the end of\nbabette ' s feast .\nmartine compliments babette as well , saying\nthey all thought it was a nice dinner ,\nbut has a different relationship to art in her life than philippa . philippa is more obviously connected because of her singing , but it is dinesen ' s description of their lives that makes them artists in their own way .\nfinally , she makes her sacrifice with no expectation of any return . she does not make the sacrifice to purchase the goodwill of the sisters or of those who will consume the feast . indeed , she makes her decision believing that the consumers of her feast will have no idea what they are eating . when philippa gently chides babette for giving away all that she has for the sisters\u0092 sake , babette answers :\nfor your sake ? no for my own .\nwe are delighted to announce the full casting for glyn maxwell \u2019s commissioned adaptation of the much loved short story babette\u2019s feast by the revered danish storyteller karen blixen . bringing their innovative style to print room at the coronet , bill buckhurst reunites with designer simon kenny , following their hugely successful collaboration on \u201csweeney todd\u201d at harrington\u2019s pie and mash shop . the 2015 production transferred to the west end and is now playing off - broadway at new york\u2019s barrow street theatre . with new music composed by olly fox , this world premiere , telling the story of one community\u2019s willingness to accept a stranger in need , begins previews on 9 th may .\nthe random house dictionary , 1967 , s . v .\nart .\nand calf ' s foot . add the boquet garni , season with salt and\nas the madeleine dipped in a cup of tea gives inexpressible joy to proust ' s narrator by resurrecting his childhood , so babette ' s feast carries her and her guests to another , better world . we who watch this feast may also count ourselves among babette ' s guests . it is not so much a lost france that the film offers the contemporary viewer as an idealized france that is called into existence by its cuisine . babette is every french cook and every french chef , the vital link in the culinary chain that metamorphoses the raw to the cooked and the cooked to the miraculously pleasurable . the fable of french cuisine turns out to be a culinary tale for all times and places , for all those cooks who transform eating into dining , and for all those diners who come away from the table transformed .\nbravo ! the length of this was a feast ! i watched this film years ago , but now want to revisit . thank you !\nbabette ' s feast produces the miracle that is required for a holy person , like st . barbara , to be canonized . even at the cafe anglais her cooking rather miraculously turned a dinner into\na kind of love affair \u2026 in which one no longer distinguishes between bodily and spiritual appetite or satiety .\nbut her berlevaag feast absolutely transforms the hearts of the people who partake of it . babette unwittingly creates a sacramental experience , worthy of st . barbara , that brings atonement ( at - onement ) to its participants , just as the catholic mass does .\nthe danish / french babette ' s feast is based on a story by isak dinesen , also the source of the very different out of africa ( 1985 ) . stephane audran plays babette , a 19th century parisian political refugee who seeks shelter in a rough danish coastal town . philippa ( bodil kjer ) and martina ( birgitte federspiel ) , the elderly daughters of the town ' s long - dead minister , take babette in . as revealed in flashback , philippa and martina were once beautiful young women ( played by hanne stensgaard and vibeke hastrup ) , who ' d forsaken their chances at romance and fame , taking hollow refuge in religion . babette holds a secret that may very well allow the older ladies to have a second chance at life . this is one of the great movies about food , but there are way too many surprises in babette ' s feast to allow us to reveal anything else at this point ( except that ingmar bergman\nregulars\nbibi andersson and jarl kulle have significant cameo roles ) . . ~ hal erickson , rovi\nby any criterion , babette ' s feast is a food film . more than that , it is a french food film , a film of french food ,\na real french dinner\npresented in amorous particulars . still more than that , this is a french food film by virtue of the eating order that it represents and proposes for our delight , and that eating order is unequivocally french . like proust ' s recherche , babette ' s feast resurrects a country that is no more , the france before 1870 that had already disappeared when babette arrived in jutland in 1871 , was even more obscure when the tale was written in 1952 , and had become positively prehistoric by 1987 , when the film appeared . culinary france is an ideal , and france is an idealized country that lives through its cuisine . babette ' s feast constructs something of a legend out of french cuisine , a narrative lived between history and myth , in that such cuisine restores the community of the faithful and resurrects a country . the very distance of the film from france , its foreign author and filmmaker , language and setting , heightens our awareness of the constructed nature of the country that is culinary france .\nsuch dissenting voices were almost entirely absent from the british press upon the film\u2019s release in 1987 , with critics responding with unreserved praise , as if axel\u2019s film sated a hunger for simple , humane stories that late 80s cinema had undernourished . \u201cbabette\u2019s feast is a good story immaculately told ( even better in the cinema than on the page ) , \u201d wrote philip french in the observer . \u201cit might well become , like a room with a view [ 1986 ] , a classic of literary adaptation . \u201d\nbabette was french and used to cooking great meals but in norway and this family the meals . . .\npope francis sees in the selfless giving of babette an example that we should all follow . babette spent her whole lottery winnings to make this feast and spent weeks planning the meal and securing the necessary ingredients . this is the joy that pope francis wants us to experience , a joy that does not focus on selfish needs but on the joy of others .\nthis story focuses on a lavish dinner that a french servant woman named babette prepares for a group of pious ascetics in an isolated norwegian village on sunday , december 15 , 1883 . the events leading up to this feast take many years to develop .\nthe telegraph\u2019s tim robey was surprised by axel\u2019s film\u2019s \u201caustere elegance rather than its gastro - porn credentials\u201d . referring to the film as \u201cmelancholy bliss\u201d , robey took delight in the final meal scene , but for its tantalising restraint more than its sense of indulgence :\nbabette ' s feast illuminates the connection between culinary production and the act of consumption . not only is each a function of the other , neither can be conceived without the other . the truism that links production and consumption aside\u2014food exists to be consumed\u2014works about food and about cuisine , like works throughout literary and cinematic history , tend to focus on the one at the expense of the other . notably , this film appeared as adventurous chefs were capturing the attention of the media in france and abroad . babette ' s promotion , or , better yet , her elevation , is appropriate in an increasingly international food culture . to be sure , this feast is babette ' s , the christ figure who sacrifices for the spiritual good and material contentment of the community . nevertheless , and like the last supper on which it is loosely modeled , this feast is all about public participation . cuisine , this film tells us as it continually cuts back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room , is a social relationship .\npetruso earned a bachelor ' s degree in history from the university of michigan and a master ' s degree in screenwriting from the university of texas . in the following essay , petruso explores how the idea of art saturates aspects of dinesen ' s short story .\naxel described the story of babette as something of a fable\u2014a powerful story about the power of grace . because the story\u2019s climax is a meal\u2014and a meal with 12 guests at that\u2014it is impossible not to think of the last supper , another story wherein the head of the feast demonstrates the audacity of giving it all . like christ himself , there is a subdued quality to babette . despite nearly an hour of on - screen food prep , we never see her eat , and in a way , that makes sense\u2014she is the feast ; her only presence in the dining room is in the meal itself .\nisak dinesen ' s\nbabette ' s feast\nfeatures three main characters , all women , who find themselves as unlikely housemates . martine and philippa are sisters who remain unmarried so they can take up the responsibilities of overseeing the congregation of their deceased father ' s lutheran sect . the other woman in the story is a french woman named babette , who fled paris in great danger and is taken in by the two sisters . babette and her generous hostesses have little in common , but among the strongest qualities they all share is the impulse to take care of each other . despite their differences , they forge a familial bond through the act of mutual support , first out of a sense of duty , but ultimately out of affection .\n1 . you simply cannot forget babette\u2019s cute little quail pies . we\u2019re making a similar thing , without the heads on though . that was a bit too much for me ! here\u2019s the recipe : braised quail & spatchcock pie with fennel , pear & thyme relish from he needs food .\nthank you ! the article was a feast and a great reminder of that great film . and of grace as well , so lavish it is .\nfifteen years after rejecting their suitors , martine and philippa are joined by a french woman named babette , who appears at their doorstep exhausted , wild - eyed , and impoverished after escaping political turmoil in paris . a letter from achille papin states simply that babette \u201ccan cook . \u201d for twelve years babette serves martine and philippa . . .\nmany thanks to melissa for your links and daniel for your wonderful words and recipes . i must revisit babette .\nbabette ' s feast ( 1987 ) is popularly regarded as a\nfood movie .\nafter seeing the movie for the first time , viewers flocked to restaurants around the country to experience first -

hand the delicious feast they had watched being devoured on screen . today , viewers will probably have to prepare their own feasts , but the recipes are still readily available . the film , however , is about a great deal more than the pleasures of eating . it is about the discovery of meaning .\naccording to the random house dictionary , a definition of art is\nthe quality , production , expression , according to aesthetic principles , of what is beautiful .\nthis concepts of art and artistry and how they can affect life is a central theme of isak dinesen ' s short story ,\nbabette ' s feast ,\nprimarily expressed through characters and their actions . though babette hersant is most obviously an artist with food as the title implies\u2014the story ' s title claims that she creates a\nfeast\nnot a\nnice meal\n\u2014several primary characters have an artistic element that helps answer questions such as\nwhat is art ?\nand\nhow does it affect every day life ?\nsome believe that life itself is art , and this story explores that concept to the fullest .\nperhaps because the norwegian setting and characters were unfamiliar to her american readers (\nbabette ' s feast\nwas , after all , written for an american magazine ) , dinesen scatters similes throughout her story to provide her readers with familiar images . this approach begins in the very first paragraph , where dinesen writes of the small town of berlevaag that it\nlooks like a child ' s toy - town of little wooden pieces painted gray , tallow , pink and many other colors .\nwhen babette asks if she may use her lottery winnings to pay for and prepare a lavish french meal , dinesen writes ,\nbabette ' s dark eyes were as eager and pleading as a dog ' s .\ngeneral loewenhielm dresses in his military regalia for the feast , and when he arrives ,\nin his bright uniform , his breast covered with decorations , [ he ] strutted and shone like an ornamental bird . a golden pheasant or a peacock , in this sedate party of black crows and jackdaws .\nread more : what cecil b . demille\u2019s \u201cthe ten commandments\u201d taught my family on movie night\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nhere ' s the url for this tweet . copy it to easily share with friends .\nthe plot of babette\u2019s feast , which is set in late - 19 th - century denmark , is so simple as to be nearly nonexistent . a french woman named babette arrives in an ascetic rural lutheran community seeking shelter . she is taken in by the spinster daughters of the town\u2019s deceased patriarch , and she works quietly as a housemaid and cook for many years . one day she receives word that she has won 10 , 000 francs in a lottery back in france , and she arranges to cook a \u201creal french dinner\u201d for the few ( and increasingly querulous ) residents remaining in the town to mark what would have been the 100 th birthday of the patriarch . though the sect\u2019s members are wary of earthly pleasures , babette\u2019s exquisite , beautifully composed meal\u2014featuring most memorably a dish of stuffed quails in puff pastry called cailles en sarcophage\u2014 ultimately brings the village together again .\ndistinct emphases appear on every level of the film , beginning with chronology . in contrast with the short story on which it is based , babette ' s feast ages the sisters by fifteen years or so , so that they are in their late forties when babette arrives and in their mid - sixties for the final feast , not , as dinesen ' s chronology would have them , in their mid - thirties and late forties respectively . the advanced age of the sisters ; the greater expanse of time separating youthful visions and hopes from trials and disappointments in the present ; the visibly aged faces ; babette ' s spending fourteen with the sisters before winning the lottery , not twelve ; the presence of death and concern with the hereafter\u2014all reinforce the elegiac quality of the film . the overpowering idea of life ending , the impulse to meditate on one ' s life course and the choices one has made , the anxious contemplation of the future\u2014render the euphoria produced by the meal more dramatic , the prospect of rejuvenation more entrancing .\neach vignette babette relates lays out the history of these two pious , hospitable sisters , martine and philippa . we are shown the story of martine\u2019s rejected suitor , a young sergeant who becomes a grand general . we are then shown the story of philippa\u2019s rejected suitor , an actor who believes he has found his perfect soprano . with these stories now told , babette herself vanishes , and her listeners become her storytellers .\nit is hard not to think of the mottos of \u2018open london\u2019 and \u2018all are welcome\u2019 that \u2013 for some \u2013 have gained prominence since the brexit vote , of the millions of syrian refugees displaced and desperate for somewhere to all , and of the reality of small , english life , its insularity , its old grooves . but if babette\u2019s story is meant to be a parallel to today , then it presents hope for both these communities and these refugees ; babette\u2019s feast expands the community\u2019s palettes , both literally and figuratively . in turn , the villagers recognise their own limitations , the ends of their knowledge , and use their own values to process and embrace the new .\nlittle does lorens l\u00f6wenhielm know , though , that he will be the honored guest of a spectacular feast that evening . little does he know that the feast itself will transport him from the life he feels he\u2019s wasted . as the last course is being prepared , and lorens l\u00f6wenhielm is given not another glass of clos de vougeot , but the bottle , he stands to give the best toast ever given :\na second article of faith in babette ' s feast is the certainty of the instantaneous and direct power of art . like grace , like the mercy invoked by the pastor early in the film and the general at the end , art touches individuals of every station , even against their will . surely it is not stretching things too far to see this story as dinesen ' s contribution to the debate over mass culture that was raging in the 1950s when she wrote\nbabette ' s feast .\nagainst the contemnors of so - called mass society , the film , like dinesen ' s short story , proposes an overwhelmingly optimistic , consistently elevated view of art , artists , and society . against virtually all that we know about the socialization of taste\u2014just ask anyone who has urged a child to try something new\u2014 babette ' s feast affirms the immediate accessibility of new and strange foods . the artist creates for the untutored no less than for the connoisseur . the young philippa , papin promises , will sing for the emperor but also for the young working girls from the poor neighborhoods . the general articulates his pleasure ; his coachman in the kitchen says no more than\nthat ' s good ,\nwhile the others say nothing at all . if the first appreciation is the more knowledgeable , the transformation of the silent diners offers the more eloquent testimony to the power of culinary art .\nfor years , babette had continued to play the french lottery by mail . as luck would have it , she won the ten - thousand - franc prize just as the sisters were trying to plan a celebration of what would have been their father ' s hundredth birthday . babette asked that they allow her to pay for and prepare an authentic french meal for the sisters and their guests . they are nervous about the dishes that will be served , and they are hesitant to accept babette ' s generous offer to pay . the sisters reluctantly agree .\nas philippa says to babette at the end of the film , \u201cbut this is not the end , babette . in paradise you will be the great artist god meant you to be . oh , how you will enchant the angels ! \u201d\na great deal of literary attention has been given to dinesen ' s personal life and its influences on her writing . her best - known work is easily out of africa , which relies very heavily on her own experiences in africa . but her other works also draw from her personal experiences , and\nbabette ' s feast\nis no exception . when dinesen was a child , her father committed suicide , leaving her mother alone to run the house and rear the children . luckily , a grandmother and an aunt who both lived nearby took on the responsibility of helping dinesen ' s mother and the children manage without a man in the house . biographers note that the help they lent was material , emotional , and spiritual . this tells the reader of\nbabette ' s feast\nthat dinesen knew a great deal about how and why women take care of each other and that she was deeply affected by this kind of care . it is no wonder , then , that her portrayal of babette , martine , and philippa is so warm and believable .\nand all the while , babette is out of view , in the kitchen . she is out of earshot of the reconciliation her gift has brought . all the praise for the lovely supper goes to the two sisters . and the supper is ended . babette has given everything\u2014her entire lottery winnings are spent\u2014in the indulgence of one night\u2019s meal .\na member of the congregation says the blessing over the meal , and babette ' s hired assistant begins serving the food and wine . with each course , loewenhielm is more amazed at how fine the food is and how it reminds him of his days at paris ' s finest restaurants . meanwhile , the conversation at the table revolves around miracles they had all seen during the dean ' s years of ministry ."]}

aged men , one of whom is about to be married , on a wine - tasting trip in california , i immediately thought\nnostalgic pop music with a light score .\nsideways is a rare comedy \u2014 admired by critics and a box office hit ( $ 72 million domestically ) . it launched its stars ' careers ( giamatti , church , virginia madsen and sandra oh ) . japanese filmmakers made their own tribute version . it even garnered payne an adapted - screenplay oscar .\nat sunday ' s 10 - year anniversary screening in the film ' s location , santa barbara , payne still handled questions aboutthat merlot joke . but seth kunin , owner / winemaker of santa barbara ' s kunin wines , says the audience knew sideways put santa barbara on the wine - destination map .\nin the film sideways , which earned an academy award in 2005 for best adapted screenplay and boosted the careers of thomas haden church , virginia madsen and sandra oh , those descriptive words aptly captured the character of angst - ridden , wine - obsessed protagonist miles raymond , played with self - flagellating glee by paul giamatti .\nwhile our results show that\nsideways\ndid increase wine consumption , the rising tide of consumption did not lift all varietals evenly . our results clearly show that merlot suffered a small decrease in both price and sales volume , while pinot noir benefited from the movie as indicated by significant increases in price and sales volume .\nurltoken is selling sets of wine from the region toured in the movie along with the\nsideways\ndvd . twentieth century fox teamed up with several wineries and last week launched urltoken to sell wines from the central california coast . robert mondavi is rolling out in - store promotions , also in conjunction with the studio .\nthe same words also tell the story of an equally important , but liquid , character in the film : pinot noir . a dozen years later , pinot noir has become a mainstay of the california wine industry , and winemakers credit the film with bringing deserved attention to the varietal , calling it\nthe sideways effect .\nof course , many of us are less versed in the language and flavors of pinot noir , perhaps leaning more toward miles ' buddy jack in sideways , who pretty much thinks anything in a wineglass tastes good . jack is the merlot \u2014 big , agreeable , full - bodied \u2014 to miles ' more challenging pinot noir .\nthe next variable we examine is price . conventional economic theory tells us that as long as supply is not perfectly elastic , any change in demand should result in a price change . if the demand for merlot fell due to the negative publicity surrounding\nsideways ,\nthen we should observe a decrease in the price of merlot .\nfinally we examine whether\nsideways\nhad different effects on different price segments of wine consumers . for example , if high - end wine consumers are more representative of core consumers than low - end wine consumers , and core wine consumers are less susceptible to movies and promotions than casual wine consumers , then we would expect\nsideways\nto have a larger effect on lower - priced wines than on higher - priced wines . to see if the effects of the movie differ by price , we re - examine the data segmenting the wines into three categories : less than $ 10 , $ 10 - $ 19 . 99 , and $ 20 - $ 40 .\nthe exhibition takes its title , and somewhat its conceptual and formal inspiration , from queer scholar kathryn stockton bond\u2019s notion that rather than the normative view of \u201cgrowing up\u201d , the non - straight child \u201cgrows sideways\u201d 1 through life - long , lateral interactions between childhood motivations and adult identifications , formed by sly intentions , blurred chronologies , and animalistic attachments .\n, the release strategy evolved organically . \u201cit wasn\u2019t like we sat down a year before the movie came out and said \u2018we\u2019re going to put out a trailer eight weeks before the release date . \u2019 it just sort of became that . \u201d and while trachtenberg was naturally involved in the master plan , he was still knocked sideways by its execution :\nsideways\nwas released oct . 22 , 2004 , nominated for five academy awards on jan . 25 , 2005 - - it won one , for best - adapted screenplay - - and closed may 19 , 2005 . in the 30 weeks the movie was in theaters , gross domestic ticket sales topped $ 70 million , with worldwide sales reaching more than $ 100 million , making it the 40th highest - grossing movie of the year . the no . 1 - grossing movie of the year ,\nshrek 2 ,\ngrossed more than $ 440 million and nearly $ 1 billion worldwide that same year .\nsideways\nwas released on dvd in the united states and canada in april 2005 .\nsideways dictionary does exactly that . the browser extension , developed by google ' s online safety division jigsaw and the washington post , aims to help laypeople understand online threats and the precautions they can take against them . it starts with basic fluency ; you can ' t protect yourself against a phishing attack if you don ' t know what it is .\nthere is a memorable scene in the movie\nsideways ,\nin which the lead character , a pinot noir fan , adamantly refuses to drink merlot . as wine consumers have gone on to mimic actor paul giamatti ' s anti - merlot quip , the effect of the movie has become folklore within the wine industry . for example , in the april 2008 issue of\nfirst consider annual case volume of merlot , pinot noir and the control group of non - sideways red wines consisting of cabernet sauvignon and syrah . the largest red varietal seller by volume in the u . s . is merlot , followed by cabernet sauvignon , syrah and pinot noir , with merlot and cabernet sauvignon selling almost twice as much as syrah and pinot noir .\nas anyone who has enjoyed\nsideways\nknows , the music perfectly captures the film ' s various moods , and listening to this cd is the next best thing to seeing the movie . indeed , hearing the exuberance of\nwine safari\nand the melancholy of\nabandoning the wedding\nprompts the corresponding scenes of\nsideways\nto run vividly through my mind . even so , i had two minor issues with this disc . one is its brevity - there ' s only a little more than a half - hour ' s worth of music here . i also would have preferred the tracks to be in sequence with the film . but these are minor personal quibbles that shouldn ' t deter you from buying this album .\nif you were stoked to hear about the release of the ramen girl , wait until you hear about the next big foodie flick . oh , wait \u2014 you may have already seen it . twentieth century fox is creating a japanese version of sideways , the oscar - nominated comedy about four friends road - tripping through california wine country that became a runaway hit in 2005 .\nparamount is taking \u201cbaby steps\u201d in the foreign remake game with the development of a japanese version of \u201cghost , \u201d according to andrew cripps , its president for international theatrical distribution and marketing . \u201c \u2018ghost\u2019 has a lot of elements that appeal to a japanese audience : the emotionality , the sentimentality , \u201d he said . \u201clike \u2018sideways , \u2019 \u2018ghost\u2019 is a dialogue - driven drama . \u201d\nthat ' s exactly what the st . francis winery & vineyards in sonoma valley is doing , cooperating with a popular sonoma restaurant that has created a\n' sideways ' martini ,\nsaid nan fontaine , a spokeswoman for the winery . the cocktail is a mix of vodka , lime juice , lemon juice , pomegranate juice - - and a generous splash of st . francis merlot .\nwhen the producers of the new \u201csideways\u201d set out to shoot at california wineries , the response was less than enthusiastic . though the original sparked a surge in pinot noir sales and wine tourism , it also led to a drop in merlot sales . as terry joanis , marketing manager of the frog\u2019s leap winery , explained : \u201cnot everybody grows pinot noir . a lot of people grow merlot . \u201d\nthe effects on non - promoted price provide the most convincing argument for a\nsideways\neffect . while the fall in the price for merlot continues a trend that started in 2003 , the increase in the price of pinot noir that starts in 2005 following the movie appears to reverse the downward trend that began in 2003 . additionally , our analysis indicates that these changes are all statistically significant .\nthe sideways effect is also generally credited with depressing the market for merlot wine , based on a memorable line from the movie when miles colorfully proclaims his disdain for the wine \u2014 the back story is that his ex - wife liked merlot \u2014 declaring ,\nno , if anyone orders merlot , i ' m leaving . i am not drinking any f * * * * * * merlot !\nin other words , it did for wine what every marketing professional wants to do for a product . the fact is , though , when something grabs the imagination of the public at large - - so much so that buying habits are affected - - it is almost always an accident . how much\nsideways\nwill continue to help pinot and hurt merlot can ' t be predicted or controlled .\nfox japan and the fuji tv network have announced the details of their joint japanese remake of the hit 2004 alexander payne drama \u201csideways . \u201d remake will be produced by fox intl . prods . , the studio\u2019s new division overseen by sanford panitch . the pic , which is already shooting on location in california\u2019s napa valley , stars rinko kikuchi ( \u201cbabel\u201d ) , kyoka suzuki , fumiyo kohinata [ \u2026 ]\nthe idea behind saidoweizu isn\u2019t \u201cwhat if sideways took place in japan ? \u201d it\u2019s \u201cwhat if everyone in sideways were japanese ? \u201d while it would be appropriate to call the film a remake , it might be more accurate to call it a repopulation . whereas the original film is about a self - pitying writer who takes his best friend on a bachelor - party weekend in california\u2019s wine country , this version is about a self - pitying writer who takes his best friend for a bachelor - party weekend in california\u2019s wine country while being japanese . the difference is not inconsequential , and the fact that the film never forgets that is its only real source of artistic value . saidoweizu may not have been intended for western audiences , but it doesn\u2019t mean that this curious remake doesn\u2019t have anything to offer us .\nto examine the effect of the movie on merlot and pinot noir consumption , we use annual scan data from u . s . retail chains . annual data was used because it allowed us to examine a period sufficiently previous to the release of the movie in 2004 . in addition to merlot and pinot noir , we also examine the\nnon - sideways\nred wines cabernet sauvignon and syrah as controls .\nthe director was flying back from edinburgh , where he had been at a film festival promoting election , when he finally had a chance to read rex pickett\u2019s book sideways . as soon as he landed , payne ran to a pay phone ( this was 1999 ) to call his agent about purchasing the rights . he later told pickett he liked his novel because his characters were \u201cso f * cking pathetic . \u201d\nfigure 2 provides an even starker view of the diverging trends of merlot and pinot noir . consider first the ratio of merlot to pinot noir . if the movie\nsideways\ninduced a decrease in merlot consumption while simultaneously increasing pinot noir consumption , then we would expect the ratio of the two to decrease . this is in fact what we observe in figure 2 for both promoted and non - promoted volume .\nmiles and jack traveled to oregon with miles\u2019 mother in rex pickett\u2019s 2011 sequel , vertical . pickett made sandra oh\u2019s character into a lap dancer as a \u201clittle wave\u201d to payne , and wrote stephanie ( terra in the books ) out of vertical entirely so payne wouldn\u2019t have to work with his ex - wife again . pickett also wrote an ebook in 2015 titled sideways 3 chile , which found miles traveling to south america .\n\u201cspinoffs are tough for a bunch of reasons , but if the right idea came , i\u2019d certainly love to work with [ actor hoon lee ] again . i\u2019m leery of the fact that \u2014 sometimes really amazing supporting characters , when you make them the center of the show , sometimes it goes a little sideways . but if we had the right idea for a job spinoff , certainly we would play with that . \u201d\nthat\u2019s why jigsaw and the washington post are turning sideways dictionary over to its users . moderators will excise inaccuracies but let readers decide which analogies are the best help . such an approach keeps any one entity from dictating definitions , while letting different perspectives or cultures factor in . that could increase understanding . and that ' s essential , because people can ' t protect themselves online if they don ' t understand the problems\u2014or the solutions .\npinot noir production in california has increased roughly 170 percent since sideways was released ,\nsays wine industry analyst gabriel froymovich of vineyard financial associates , noting that total wine grape production has increased 7 to 8 percent during the same time .\ni think people who were into wine saw the passion for pinot noir in the movie , decided to explore that variety a bit , and realized how lovely a wine that grape makes .\ncarlton cuse : we thought just doing one [ of those options ] would inherently not be satisfying . since the very beginning of the show , characters started crossing through each other\u2019s stories . part of our desire [ in season 6 ] is to show that there\u2019s still this kind of weave , that these characters still would have impacted each other\u2019s lives even without the event of crashing on the island . obviously , the big question of the season is going to be : how do these [ two timelines ] reconcile ? however , for the fans who have not watched the show closely , that\u2019s an intact narrative . you can just watch the flash sideways \u2014 they stand alone all by themselves . for the fans who are more deeply embedded in the show , you can watch those flash sideways , compare them to what transpired in the flashbacks and go , \u201coh , that\u2019s an interesting difference . \u201d\ngrowing sideways presents over five dozen drawings on collage that will frame the space and culminate in a site - specific floor - to - ceiling installation , growing across two and three dimensional surfaces and creating a disjointed narrative exploring gender formation and erotic curiosity through schliebener\u2019s combination of cuttings from found children\u2019s books with abstract drawings and felt pieces that recall organic sensual shapes in nature and the body . two series\u2013\u201dpeek - a - boo\u201d and \u201csassy and butchy\u201d\u2013comprise this show .\ngluck\u2019s version doesn\u2019t acknowledge rex pickett\u2019s novel or deviate far from the american film\u2014payne even retains his \u201cscreenplay by\u201d credit\u2014but it still fails to retain much of the wry wistfulness or aching regret that makes sideways so special . nevertheless , saidoweizu\u2019s most glaring weaknesses ( a script lazily spackled with voiceover , the visual dexterity of a bad sitcom ) are somewhat compensated for by how it gently reminds western viewers that being the world\u2019s default audience doesn\u2019t make them the only audience worth serving .\na wine tasting road trip to salute jack ' s final days as a bachelor careens woefully sideways as he and miles hit the gas en route to mid - life crises . the comically mismatched pair , who share little more than their history and a heady blend of failed potential and fading youth , soon find themselves drowning in wine and women . emerging from a haze of pinot noir , wistful yearnings and trepidation about the future , the two inevitably collide with reality .\nthis is where sideways dictionary can run into trouble , because metaphors can have an outsized impact on public opinion . in a paper from 2011 , stanford psychologists compared the tropes of crime as an epidemic and individual crimes as attacks . they found that when crime was likened to an epidemic , people favored responding to it with educational and preventative programs . using the more violent\nattack\nmetaphor made people think bolstering police and getting tough on crime was the best response .\nvirtually all the results are consistent with the theory that\nsideways\nhad a negative impact on the consumption of merlot , while increasing the consumption of pinot noir . however , far from having a\ndevastating\neffect on merlot , the positive impact on pinot noir appears greater than the negative impact on merlot . in fact , while the main impact of the movie on merlot was to slow the growth of case volume , the case volume of pinot noir increased significantly .\nthese days everyone seems to be speculating on how the wildly successful , best - picture - nominated road movie\nsideways ,\nwith its strong focus on wine , will affect our wine - drinking habits . stories are buzzing , especially in southern california - - the setting for the film - - about how sales of pinot noir , which was highly touted in the film , are skyrocketing while sales of merlot , which was singled out for particular ridicule , are plummeting .\ncuse : we did have some concern that it might be confusing kind of going into the season . to clear that up a little bit : the archetypes of the characters are the same and that\u2019s the most significant thing . kate is still a fugitive . if you were to look at the comic - con video , for instance , that now comes into play . there was a different scenario in that story . she basically blew up an apprentice plumber as opposed to killing her biological father / stepfather . those kind of differences exist , but who the characters fundamentally are is the same . if it becomes too confusing for you , you can just follow the flash sideways for what they are . it\u2019s not as though there\u2019s narrative that hangs on the fact that you need to know that this event was different in that world , in the flashback world versus the sideways world . that\u2019s not critical for being able to process the narrative this season .\nas much as \u201csideways\u201d belongs to mr . payne and his co - writer , jim taylor , the japanese version is , like an american indie , close to the heart of mr . gluck , who is of japanese and american descent and spent much of his childhood attending american schools in japan . mr . gluck\u2019s bilingual film experience dates to 1989 , when he assisted on \u201cblack rain , \u201d the ridley scott film about an american police officer ( michael douglas ) in japan .\nthe alexander payne - directed sideways followed two men in their forties taking a week - long trip to santa barbara , california . ostensibly planned as an intimate bachelor party , soon - to - be - married jack ( thomas haden church ) and unsatisfied writer miles ( paul giamatti ) end up getting romantically entangled with two women , which they complicate in both comedic and horrific self - destructive fashions . here are some facts about the 2004 movie that are best paired with a wine that\u2019s still evolving .\nm . c . gainey played the husband of cammi , a waitress jack seduces . . . but whose husband comes home early and chases a naked jack out of the house . later , it ' s gainey who is doing the naked chasing . he once said , \u201cmen recognize me from it , but i have yet to have a woman say , ' weren ' t you in sideways ? \u2019\u201d despite the \u201cwonderful\u201d experience , gainey claimed it would be the final nude scene of his film career .\nvisual inspection of figure 1 shows the case volume of pinot noir growing , while the growth of merlot appears to flatten out and even decline following the movie ' s release in 2004 . for the control group of non - sideways red wines , growth appears to continue an upward trend started in 2004 . statistical tests confirm what is apparent from figure 1 : pinot noir observed a relatively large increase in case volume , while merlot and the control group experienced small but statistically significant declines in their growth rates .\nat any rate , the\nsideways\nsoundtrack is a must - have if you can ' t get enough of the adventures of miles , jack , maya , and stephanie , and it stands on its own merits for lounge or chill music as well . by the way , there ' s no movie dialogue on the tracks , so don ' t be concerned about\ni ' m not drinking any # @ % ! $ merlot !\ngetting you in trouble at work ( heh ) !\nthe bureau of general services\u2014queer division presents growing sideways , an exhibition of new work by buenos aires - based , chilean artist catalina schliebener , organized by independent curator john chaich , on view december 2 , 2016 through january 22 , 2017 with an opening reception on friday , december 2 from 7 - 9 pm at the bureau of general services\u2014queer division , 208 w 13th street , room 210 , new york , ny , on the 2nd floor of the lesbian , gay , bisexual & transgender community center .\nrolfe kent , who has made his name scoring comedies like legally blonde and mean girls , here writes an intelligent score that has little to do with the movie beyond ambiance . most composers try to match screen action very closely , heightening the drama through little touches . kent , working closely with payne , chose instead to match the atmosphere of a 1960s italian film since sideways takes place in the sun - dappled vineyards of california . the score was even recorded on an old valve based mixing board to give it a retro sound .\nyep , that ' s the big twist : split is set in the same cinematic universe as shyamalan ' s 2000 super - hero tale unbreakable . in a move that ' s perhaps even more ambitious than the title - switch j . j . abrams played with last year ' s 10 cloverfield lane , the notoriously secret - prone director has slipped a sideways - sequel to one of his most beloved movies into theaters without anyone noticing . it ' s not just a twist ending ; it ' s a twist beginning too .\nadditionally , because of the similarity in the growth rates of merlot and the control group , we test for differences in the growth rate of merlot and the control group . our results indicate that the growth rate of merlot was indeed less than that of the control group , while the growth rate of pinot noir was greater than that of the control group . at this point , case volume of merlot and pinot noir appear to follow the expected effect if the movie\nsideways\ndid decrease demand for merlot and increase demand for pinot noir .\nthen\nsideways\ncame along and tackled a more psychological barrier to wine consumption : the notion that you can ' t drink wine unless you know wine . to be sure , the movie celebrated wine ' s complexity and romance , but it also showed its appeal for the rest of us . of the two buddies traveling through santa barbara ' s wine country , only one puckered and sniffed the vanilla notes in his glass . the other , a washed - up actor , had little more to say than ,\ni like it .\nmiles and jack , in their own ways , are in awe of women\u2014of their power to scramble a man\u2019s good sense . miles\u2019s ex - wife , when we finally meet her , is no gorgon ; she\u2019s decent and intelligent and still cares about him , only not enough . with miles , declarations of faith are supposed to be forever . he can\u2019t abide the waywardness of affection , any more than he can abide someone who doesn\u2019t love pinot . in sideways , wine is much more than wine . it\u2019s a metaphor for the spirits that bring us to a reckoning with ourselves .\nmiles is the hero of alexander payne ' s\nsideways ,\nwhich is as lovable a movie as\nfargo ,\nalthough in a completely different way . he ' s an english teacher in middle school whose marriage has failed , whose novel seems in the process of failing , whose mother apparently understands that when he visits her , it is because he loves her , and also because he needs to steal some of her money . miles is not perfect , but the way paul giamatti plays him , we forgive him his trespasses , because he trespasses most of all against himself .\nin seattle , david coyle , head sommelier for the metropolitan grill , says that , on average , he gets two or three customers mentioning the movie each night .\nthey make comments about the movie ; they want to know if i ' ve seen it ,\nhe says .\nbefore ordering a merlot , they ' ll say , ' i know i ' m not supposed to . . . '\nbut all the\nsideways\nchatter hasn ' t affected sales at the metropolitan , where coyle reports pinot sales have barely budged and merlot sales are as strong as ever ."]}

knit in front of the world , there\u2019s a lot of tension between the members . rebecca and jenny hate margaret because their ideologies don\u2019t match . peter had , years ago , given up the material life and had left the family to fend for itself . in a bid to raise her family , rebecca , therefore , sucks up to the passes made by her boss , kanhaiyalal deshmukh ( vinay apte ) , whom she keeps calling by the abbreviated name of kld , and malkani ( vivek vaswani ) , a rich businessman , only so that she can provide a comfortable lifestyle to her family .\nwhile ashley works in an mnc , sam is still on the lookout for a paying job . sam loves his sister - in - law , jenny , and wants to settle down in life with her . suddenly , one day , peter returns as he is dying of cancer and wants to spend some days with his family . rebecca refuses to accept him back in her life while the other family members are more welcoming . almost equally suddenly one day , ashley is shown to be gay . under a new identity , he has an affair with aryan ( kapil sharma ) . then , one day , ashley and jenny have a fight and the latter walks out on the former . sam makes the most of the situation , woos her and has a relationship with her . sam wants to take jenny with him abroad where he has landed a good job .\nthe film deals with the happenings in the d\u2019souza household in the first half but it changes track at interval point so that the gay angle of the story takes precedence over all else in the second half . the film tries to justify homosexuality , which will not be palatable to the majority of the audience . not just that , even the scenes of love - making between males will repulse the orthodox audience no end .\nthe first part about the dysfunctional family is also depressing to watch because everyone in the drama seems to be having some problem or the other . rebecca\u2019s proximity to two males will also not make much sense to the orthodox audience because it appears that she is trying to buy her children luxury items rather than items of basic necessity , due to her proximity to the two men . it is for this very reason that margaret\u2019s outburst , towards the end , against kld who tries to make fun of rebecca giving in to his demands , doesn\u2019t gladden the heart of the viewer . for , it is not as if every helpless woman opts for what rebecca has chosen to do . the track of sam trying to brainwash his own sister - in - law into marrying him , and of the two having a brief affair is also too bold for the indian audience and doesn\u2019t leave a good taste in the mouth .\nall in all , the story and screenplay seem to have been written just to shock the audience rather than with conviction . the christian backdrop and the language of communication between the characters being mainly english ( and only sparingly hindi ) will make matters worse for the viewers . what\u2019s irritating is that the dialogues and pronunciations are so pathetic and sometimes even so incorrect that they will be simply put off by the entire facade to make it seem like it\u2019s been made for a very educated audience . note , for instance , the dialogue , \u2018may your wish comes ( not come ) true\u2019 . or when , \u2018leave\u2019 is pronounced as \u2018live\u2019 in the dialogue , \u2018just leave me alone\u2019 ! the film has been dubbed in hindi too .\nthe ending is unnecessarily sugar - sweet . everybody seems to be in a forgiving mood for no rhyme or reason but such an ending is far from impressive . in short , kapil sharma\u2019s script doesn\u2019t have much to offer . his dialogues are commonplace .\nkapil sharma doesn\u2019t impress . yuvraaj parasher also does a very ordinary job . rituparna sengupta is earnest but she should\u2019ve taken more care of her pronunciations . zeenat aman is most at ease with her english dialogues . she acts fairly well . helen is okay but her hindi is terribly bad . kabir bedi does an average job . asha sachdev and mahabanoo mody - kotwal lend ordinary support . vinay apte and viveck vaswani are nice . maradona rebello , hazel and jennifer mayani pass muster . sonam arora ( as tulsi ) is okay . ganesh yadav acts ably as the police inspector . parikshat sahni ( unrecognisable , as joseph ) makes his presence felt . tara sharma gets almost no scope in a special appearance . aryan vaid also gets as good as nil scope .\nsanjay sharma\u2019s direction is hardly better than the script . the film seems to have been written and made for the festival circuit audience only . his editing should\u2019ve been far more crisp . nikhil\u2019s music score is functional . the title song has some melody . lyrics ( satya prakash and vimal kashyap ) are ordinary . camerawork and other technical values are average .\nsanju box office day 4 : has a terrific hold on monday , . . .\nno body double for sonu sood in manikarnika : the queen of . . .\nranbir kapoor + ajay devgn + christmas = blockbuster ! luv ranjan . . .\nranbir to sanju : these looks were rejected to achieve the perfect . . .\nsanju beats shah rukh khan\u2019s highest grosser , couple of salman khan . . .\nnaino ne baandhi from gold : the jodi of akshay kumar & . . .\nurltoken is a website devoted to providing authentic bollywood news , box -

class men in mumbai . shots of the two male actors in bed and passionately kissing , as well as shaving together in a bathroom , are among the more provocative segments .\nsays he received threatening letters in the mail in the weeks leading up to its release .\nand the movie , which hits indian cinemas today , continues to divide potential audiences .\npractically the entire religious spectrum in india is united in its opposition to the celebration of homosexuality ,\ntold the bbc .\nnot one of them says it ' s a good thing , a natural thing .\nthe nation ' s legion of gay activists felt differently .\ni definitely feel this film is going to encourage filmmakers to make more realistic films . . . and bring about better understanding in the minds of the indian audience ,\nsaid activist\nturns out to be : a good idea wrapped , and nearly hidden , in clunky execution . every time something real struggles to come up , it is buried quickly under amateurish acting , or over - written plot points .\ngay persons are not bad people . they are who they are . this is the statement of a fact that can bear repeating in mainstream cinema , but not in the way\nends up doing it . it takes a long time to get to the point . till the interval , in fact , when we discover that a husband who neglects the woman he\u0092s married to , is into men . he gets into an affair with an aspiring model - cum - actor who is \u0093auditioning\u0094 ( bollywood euphemism for \u0093sleeping with\u0094 ) around town . where\ntries to take it further than just a furtive liason is in the way it shows the relationship between the two men : the married man nearly reaches the point of breaking off with his wife , but his lover refuses to let him .\nfor a hindi movie , this is way beyond anything that\u0092s been shown in the homosexual range till now . not just in the way the men show skin and suck lip , but in the feelings they share : these are people who want to live together , not just have illicit sex . but\nbecause it doesn\u0092t go the mile . scared of putting off viewers , it balances the guy thing with a gal thing : the neglected wife is made to have a fling with the gay husband\u0092s younger brother who has the hots for her . it also situates the gay man and his predicament in a much - too complicated anglo - indian family , which has an absconding father (\n, but you also wish it had been braver and stuck to its core story . some of the situations are not bad , though , even if the english used by the characters is unintentionally hilarious , and even if some of the physical stuff comes dangerously close to sleaze . nice takeaway : helen getting to do a graceful jig after she declares : after all ,\n, the film will be handling the subject of homesexuality . and , it will be made on serious note unlike the most indian films made so far .\nsanjay sharma doesn\u0092t believe in being casual or bold about it as much as doing justice to the subject . the portrayal will be emotional and sensitive and will also have some rather graphic scenes between two male protagonists . however , it will all be done aesthetically and is not meant just for titillating or sensationalizing . the biggest wonder is that debutant\nso isn\u0092t he worried about being typecast since it\u0092s his debut ? no , he isn\u0092t , because he feels indian audience has matured by now to know that it is just a character that he is playing . what about being laughed at ? the young gun is not bothered about that either as he knows that if one is different and takes a risk , brickbats come by as much as bouquets . being a professional actor , kapil has even done some kissing and love - making scenes since its all part of the job !\nthe film would be depicting the relationship between two men with as much honesty as a heterosexual relationship . sanjay sharna\u0092s simple logic is , if it were a man and a woman , they would have shown it the way it is , so why not if it\u0092s two men ? well , they have a lot of faith in indian audience which has matured after the amendment in section 377 . so , this will be well - timed we guess .\nit is wonderful to see these films embrace and point to brokeback mountain in their promotion . i hope that bbm has made it easier for these films to be made . i will add it to my queue .\nit was only you in my life , and it will always be only you , jack , i swear ."]}

during this sequence , we\u2019re treated to scenes that find new york\u2019s young and old finding delight in nothing more simple than a 6\u2019 balsam fir . because , ultimately , christmas , again is about finding joy in the simple things after years of living with complicated ones . to have a happy christmas , sometimes all you need is a gift and the warmth of a companion well met .\nas yuletide offerings go , charles poekel\u2019s \u201cchristmas , again\u201d might as well be called \u201cit\u2019s a so - so life\u201d \u2014 a downbeat but never outright depressing reminder that the holidays tend to look a lot less jolly from the vantage of those peddling christmas cheer . whereas david sedaris made the same point with considerably more wit in \u201cthe [ \u2026 ]\na heartbroken christmas tree salesman returns to new york city to put his past behind him .\nthough not outwardly comedic in tone , \u201cchristmas , again\u201d does offer an amusing critique of holiday cheer . as noel makes house calls , awkwardly lugging trees into a variety of homes throughout the city , his clients barely notice his presence \u2014 but we do . both pitiable and amusing , he\u2019s like the ghost of christmas present for an age of ambivalence .\nnoel , who lives in a trailer , one night takes in a young woman , lydia ( hannah gross ) , who has passed out on a bench . whether these two might provide some comfort for each other is the closest that \u201cchristmas , again\u201d comes to having a plot .\nnicely done indie film about loss , might just be the most finely tuned melancholy christmas film ever .\nnoel ( kentucker audley ) , the appropriately named protagonist of \u201c christmas , again , \u201d approaches the holiday season more as he would a duty than an occasion for good cheer . for a brief period each year , he ventures from upstate new york to greenpoint , brooklyn , to sell christmas trees . he stands stoically while customers snap pictures of the firs on their cellphones or pepper him with questions about different evergreens .\nchristmas , again tells the story of noel , a young man who travels from upstate ny every year to sell christmas trees in new york city . returning without the help of his long - time girlfriend , this year noel finds it impossible to do the one thing he knows so well - - - sell christmas trees . as noel begins to spiral downwards , alienating co - workers and customers in the process , it turns out this same community of people may be the only ones capable of saving noel from self - destruction .\nshot on grainy 16mm by cinematographer sean price williams ( \u201clisten up phillip\u201d ) , \u201cchristmas , again\u201d offers the unique pairing of vibrant holiday colors with a foundation of gritty realism built around its impressive lead performance . the character is himself a contrast to his surroundings \u2014 a low energy sad sack named , of all things , noel .\nit ' s interesting to note that poekel sold christmas trees for five years to get the money to finance the film .\nthe lead character of\nchristmas , again\nis named noel ( kentucker audley ) \u2014too cutesy a name to be believed , but it ' s skipped over like a pebble jumping across a pond . noel spends most of his year working construction\nupstate\nbut every christmas time , he is one of those guys you see on almost every corner in new york , selling christmas trees ( plus wreaths , stands and lights ) . it ' s seasonal work , and post - christmas , those guys vanish suddenly and then re - appear the next year . poekel himself worked this seasonal job , and the film is great in showing how it all operates . noel works the night - shift and oversees his two day - shift workers .\nas the title suggests , \u201cchristmas , again\u201d is concerned with how the holidays are , for some , a time of lonely resignation . ( sporting a green winter jacket , noel sometimes looks ready to camouflage himself in his merchandise . ) the cinematographer , sean price williams , shoots on 16 - millimeter film , suffusing the film with wintry colors and , at times , visible grain . this is a christmas movie in which magic exists largely on the periphery , and that is just the right mix of chilly and sweet .\nthis is a christmas movie in which magic exists largely on the periphery , and that is just the right mix of chilly and sweet .\na truly quiet movie but one that ' s also consistently rewarding . i hope you guys aren ' t as lonely as noel this christmas .\nby the end of christmas , again\u2019s brief runtime , poekel\u2019s preference of little to no narrative momentum begins to wear things down , but not enough to cause any serious damage . for the most part , the listless tone helps establish the film as a refreshing take on the christmas movie . it doesn\u2019t like to think big or provide a neat character arc , preferring to act as a brief snapshot into one person\u2019s wistful existence during the holidays . it may not be the most exciting thing to watch , but it provides something unique , relatable and ultimately worthwhile .\n\u201cit was christmas and mom was always going , \u2018calm down . \u201d and i had a couple of drinks and i put it out there . \u201d\nthe very nature of their kinship implies that not every bored , disgruntled urban young adult falls into the neatly defined conventions of cynicism and privilege . by merely breaking away from those clich\u00e9s and carving out an charming fresh path , poekel makes a quietly defiant statement . \u201cchristmas , again\u201d hints at the arrival of a promising new voice , but doesn\u2019t blast it , instead adopting the same gentle allure of the poekel\u2019s forlorn protagonist .\nnotably , while \u201cchristmas , again\u201d provides yet another microbudget snapshot of brooklyn living , it stands apart from countless rambling meditations on urban youth culture . hailing from upstate and planning to return there after the holiday , noel is a transitory figure at odds with his surroundings in more ways than one . lydia follows suit . though she\u2019s given less of a backstory , she offers the semblance of catharsis without becoming a one - note panacea .\nthough it runs just 78 minutes , christmas , again still feels a touch too long and , as such , maybe overplays its hand a bit . though we\u2019re given an admirably realistic resolution , i couldn\u2019t help but wish for a touch more ambiguity , a reflection of the amorphousness of noel\u2019s transition into an unsure future . focus shifts slightly in the movie\u2019s final moments , which feels jarring in a film that\u2019s centered so tightly around one man\u2019s journey .\ndelicate and restrained , the film offers the messages of redemption and renewal we so often crave from a christmas movie without wrapping its themes and characters in tinsel .\ni have a soft spot for plotless movies about sad people . the fact that it ' s set around christmas makes it sadder , and makes me like it even more .\nthere ' s no hollywood ending here , but though little has happened plot - wise , we sense that this christmas just might have been transformative for two lonely , drifting souls .\nthere are glimpses of unexplained strangeness : in the trailer , noel listens to what seems to be a tape of an old - timey melodramatic radio show . he keeps pills ( for anxiety ? pain ? sleep ? ) in different windows of a cheap advent calendar , popping one a day . when lydia ( hannah gross ) , a drunk girl he helps one freezing night after finding her passed out on a bench in the park , with only one shoe , and gum tangled in her hair , shows up the next day with a pumpkin pie she baked to thank him , he ' s not sure how to react . a more conventional film would have had lydia be the quirky girl who helps noel find joy in the christmas season .\nchristmas , again\nresists . lydia moves out of the film . she returns , and leaves again . the two try to play cards . she tries to talk to him . he is kind but remote . silence dominates but it ' s full , not empty .\ncharles poekel\u2019s debut feature christmas , again moves him from the nonfiction world he\u2019d previously been in , working as the dp on niche occupational docs like hey bartender and all in : the poker movie , to a fictional world that retains a verite style . this isn\u2019t far from the kind of documentaries that follow one guy through his life . there isn\u2019t any flashy camera work or melodramatic plot twists , only a man with a symbolically interesting job . that man , noel ( kentucker audley ) , is selling christmas trees in an nyc park . where he used to do this kind of seasonal work with a long - term girlfriend , he now is selling them alone . noel\u2019s ( get it ? ) dreary day - to - day life is juxtaposed with the cheer the\u2026\nit\u2019s december . it\u2019s cold . red , green , and blue bulbs glow over a small christmas tree stand . there resides noel ( kentucker audley ) , soft - spoken and swimming in flannel . he sells trees , adorns wreaths , and mingles with a rotating cast of new york locals . \u201cchristmas sucks , \u201d one mutters , and noel doesn\u2019t argue . it ain\u2019t what it used to be , that\u2019s for sure .\nnone of these events are highlighted in a way that telegraphs\nhere is the plot .\nchristmas , again\nasks us to submit to the mood because that is where the profundity and emotion exists . new york is narrowed down to one corner , but on that corner a bustling diverse life occurs . cinematographer sean price williams , who helped shoot albert maysles '\niris ,\nand also shot indie hit\nlisten up philip\n, often blurs out the background , fuzzed - out colored strings of lights filling up the space behind people ' s faces . the light is harsh in the morning , and dark blue at night . you can feel how cold it is .\none of the most important challenges for a director ( along with the cinematographer and editor of any given film ) is to create the proper mood for the story . mood may be more important than words , because words come out of\u2014or are contextualized by\u2014mood . mood is ephemeral , but it helps establish point of view and orients us in the dream - space of the film . with all of the things that\nchristmas , again\n( written and directed by charles poekel in his feature debut ) does well ( and it does almost everything well ) , the most striking thing about it is its evocation of an extremely specific mood . once we settle into it , and it happens early , everything else becomes possible .\na heartbroken christmas - tree salesman returns to new york city hoping to put his past behind him . living in a trailer and working the night shift , he begins to spiral downwards until the saving of a mysterious woman and some colorful customers rescue him from self - destruction .\nstarring kentucker audley ( \u201csun don\u2019t shine\u201d ) as a downtrodden loner selling christmas trees in brooklyn in the aftermath of a breakup , and the fleeting connection he finds with a fellow lost soul , the movie makes no grand gestures but provides a satisfactory arrangement of many small ones .\nfor a fifth consecutive december , a heartbroken noel returns to new york city to work the night shift at a sidewalk christmas tree lot . devoid of any holiday spirit , he struggles to stay awake during the long , chilly nights in his trailer , while the daytime traffic keeps him from getting any real rest .\nthe monotony of noel\u2019s job takes a turn for him when he finds lydia ( hannah gross ) passed out on a bench near his work . after letting her sleep in his trailer , she vanishes the next morning , only to return again days later . noel and lydia strike up a sort of casual friendship , one more out of necessity than by choice . both of them have similar issues , and their isolation only draws them closer together . poekel ends up taking their relationship in an unexpected direction by the end , one that\u2019s surprisingly satisfying considering its lack of a clear resolution .\na mopey , little whisp of a film that can only be felt , rather than described . pregnant with unspoken emotions that flicker on & off across the lead actor ' s face , like the out - of - focus christmas lights that litter the screen , this a movie that is so quiet & unassuming , it most definitely requires a second viewing .\nfor five straight years , noel ( kentucker audley ) has traveled from upstate new york to brooklyn in order to sell christmas trees on the sidewalk . mostly working the night shift , noel struggles mightily to maintain an affable demeanor in the face of demanding customers and lackluster co - workers due to the fact that he misses his old crew ; more specifically , his girlfriend . \u2026\naudiences thus slowly get to know noel , who\u2019s clearly become a man of few words since the breakup and who seems to just blindly forge ahead , as if on autopilot . but this being a christmas movie , a spark of good tidings and cheer can be found on a nearby park bench , where noel finds lydia ( canadian actress hannah gross ) , who\u2019s so wasted she hasn\u2019t noticed a homeless man has taken her mobile phone .\nnoel\u2019s been selling christmas trees in this spot for five years now , but something\u2019s different this year . \u201cthat sign\u2019s new , \u201d he observes of his surroundings . \u201cthey paved the road , never thought they\u2019d do that . \u201d but it\u2019s noel , not new york , that\u2019s changed . he\u2019s newly single and , as such , left without his longtime crew . instead , he\u2019s saddled with a pair of slackers ( jason shelton and oona roche ) and the aching weight of memories that accompanies not just this spot , but the holidays themselves . in pouring rain and drifting snow , noel sulks behind his beard , speaking in monosyllables as he sells trees to yuppies , scumbags , and healthy , happy families . one night , however , he stumbles upon lydia ( hannah gross ) , passed out on a park bench . he gives her refuge for the night , and , as christmas looms closer , she weaves in and out of his life .\nthe film consists mainly of noel\u2019s countless short exchanges with his co - workers and a series of customers , who range from kind to disinterested , funny to bizarre ( one of them actually lands a punch on noel\u2019s face ) . as per the press kit , most of these encounters were inspired by the director\u2019s own interactions with clients as a christmas - tree peddler , a job poekel started with the idea of funneling both his experiences and the money earned into his feature debut .\nwhere all this is headed can\u2019t exactly be called shocking , though noel and lydia nicely underplay their growing rapport and there\u2019s indeed a sense that the withdrawn noel slowly melts in the presence of this girl who \u2014 what else ? \u2014 bakes him a cake to thank him for taking care of her . cue the christmas songs about cold winter nights and heart - warming occurrences , though thankfully poekel ' s song choice is a little more offbeat and eclectic than usual for holiday films .\nfor a fifth consecutive december , a heartbroken noel returns to new york city to work the night shift at a sidewalk christmas tree lot . devoid of any holiday spirit , he struggles to stay awake during the long , chilly nights in his trailer , while the daytime traffic keeps him from getting any real rest . as he slowly spirals into despair , he comes to the aid of a mysterious young woman in the park . her warming presence , matched with some colorful customers , help rescue him from self - destruction .\nif the new yorkers around him can be divided into white - collar and blue - collar types , noel belongs to a third category : an underspoken flannel - collar guy from upstate who feels out of place in the big city . such characters rarely serve as the focus of an entire feature , and that novelty provides a zen - like calm at the center of the stress the gothamites around him bring to the christmas season . ( an interaction with one douchebag glued to his smartphone underscores how different he is from the locals . )\ncustomers mostly come and go , though one flirty young lady requests a christmas eve delivery that sounds more enticing that it turns out , and the girl from the park bench resurfaces \u2014 as does her jealous boyfriend \u2014 to break up the routine . efficiently trimmed by editor robert greene ( \u201clisten up philip\u201d ) , the pic\u2019s charm comes from its moments of unforced naturalism : little observations about the way people behave , paired with details and anecdotes that poekel himself lived during his years operating mcgrolick trees , the same stand where the film was shot .\nthis movie is not for those who\nl - l - l - l - ove\nchristmas ( insert smiley face and / or festive yuletide thingy here , with irony ) , so that takes care of the warning up front . it ' s melancholy . very , very melancholy . it ' s also surprisingly effective and quietly moving . it captures tedium perfectly , and that combined with grief and loneliness makes it a realistic , wistful trifecta . bonus : brooklyn in chilly winter . i liked this weird little gem , though will be sure not to rewatch it in the holiday season .\nthe story takes place\nsometime fairly recently ,\nat a street corner in greenpoint , brooklyn , where the auspiciously named noel ( audley ) works the nightshift at a makeshift christmas - tree stand that\u2019s open 24 / 7 for most of december . as slowly emerges from snippets of conversations , a lot has recently changed for noel , for whom this is the fifth year on the job . this time around , he\u2019s decided to work nights , most likely as a result of his break - up with his girlfriend , mary - ann ,\nthat nice girl from last year\nthat clients rather unfortunately keep asking him about .\nand that ' s pretty much it , in terms of plot . things do happen : noel is annoyed at the lackadaisical attitude of his underlings (\nnick , you gotta be better at sweeping up the needles , man . . .\n) , goes every day to swim and shower at a nearby ymca , buys lotto tickets . noel is quiet , but not apathetic about his job : he is ambitious to sell as many trees as possible . people who recognize him ask if\nmarianna\nis with him , and he replies ,\nnot this year\nwithout elaborating . maybe she ' s an ex - girlfriend . it ' s not clear . maybe they worked the christmas season together and he had a crush on her and that ' s as far as it went . ( that somehow seems more likely . he seems like an unrequited kind of guy . )\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 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 .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

pity , no maudlin catharsis . the film has the courage of its convictions and confidence in its mood . what a pleasure to watch a film that resists being about only one thing . that resists the conventional story . that lets us enter into the life of another .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nthe ebert club is our hand -

homelessness , as poekel ( and the dozens of other tree sellers doing the same thing ) passed their nights in trailers and cars near the lots where they worked .\npoekel barely bothers to invent a plot ( not that such a slender film overtly needs one ) , focusing instead on the funk his sullen protag , noel ( kentucker audley ) , feels working the stand by himself . technically , he splits the job with two young lovebirds who handle the dayshift , though being confronted with their inseparability only makes it worse , since noel associates the job with his unseen ex - g . f . , who opted to spend her holidays doing something else this year .\nit\u2019s impossible to say how serious they were as a couple ( if the label even applies , since it might have been entirely one - sided ) . offering no flashbacks and precious few clues , poekel relies on the underspoken character to convey this sense of absence through a series of prickly , passive - aggressive interactions with his two co - workers and a variety of briefly glimpsed customers . taking out his heartbreak on others , noel is curt and surprisingly unhelpful with clients , though never in a snide \u201cbad santa\u201d sense . audley makes him sympathetic , and at times , he\u2019s even capable of kindness , as when he rescues a drunken girl ( ) from a park bench and allowing her to sleep it off in his camper .\npoekel describes this approach as \u201cmethod writing , \u201d though most people would call it research . this specificity gives the film texture , from the way noel wraps and prepares the trees for sale to the night a synthetic blanket catches fire and nearly burns down his caravan , while an almost allergic resistance to melodrama keeps the experience feeling real , rather than sappy \u2014 which is more than can be said of the hundreds of dead trees he sold to get this movie made .\nreviewed at locarno film festival ( ) , aug . 12 , 2014 . running time : 79 min .\nproduction : produced by charles poekel . executive producer , william poekel . co -

rounded enough to ensure the warmth that eventually emerges from behind his gruff exterior feels not like an anomaly , but rather a wounded animal that\u2019s taking a chance on a world it doesn\u2019t trust . we never learn much about noel\u2019s breakup or family or life outside of december , but he still feels like a fully formed character thanks to audley\u2019s soulfulness and the little things poekel plants in his orbit . gross also finds a great deal of honesty in her few scenes , affirming herself as much more than a manic pixie dream girl sent to help this sad man have a happy holiday . her life seems light years more complicated than his ; if anything , she sees him as an escape from the hell that is her holidays .\nthis family -

( noel will have to pay for any unsold trees . ) the writer and director , charles poekel , a cinematographer making his feature directorial debut , opened a stand of his own partly for research .\naudley ( ain\u2019t them bodies saints ) , in practically every frame of the film , has to carry this feather - light narrative on his shoulders and does so with ease . his noel seems to do very little and isn\u2019t particularly warm or sympathetic , yet there\u2019s something fascinating about simply watching him getting on with the business of selling trees , which , much like his funk , is clearly a seasonal thing . opposite him , gross ( i used to be darker ) is an affable presence , though her character is more of a vision than anything resembling a girl with an actual personality .\nthough the budget was clearly tiny , dp sean price williams ( the color wheel , listen up philip ) did shoot the film on 16 mm , which lends the cinematography a pleasant , old - school feeling , with the grain functioning as a kind of gauze and the initial restlessness of williams ' camera slowly steadying as noel finds his bearings .\nalso of particular note is the enormous , hooded green winter coat that lydia wears , which in some shots makes her look like someone out of a hans christian andersen fairy tale even if the garment always remains credible as the kind of thing a brooklyn hipster would fish out of a well - stocked second - hand store .\nover the course of its trim 80 - minute plot , the subdued audley imbues his character with gently affecting melancholic depth . a far cry from some of the more energetic personalities he\u2019s portrayed in other small - scale narratives , audley imbues noel with the characteristics of a frightened lost soul . working the graveyard shift on a bland lot and regularly berated by his boss for not selling enough trees , noel spends most of his sleepy routine sitting around and gazing wistfully at photos of his former flame . but his routine gets shaken up during a chance encounter on the street with a mysterious woman named lydia ( hannah gross ) whom he discovers passed out drunk on a park bench . dragging her back to his place , he instigates an ambiguous relationship as the similarly low key lydia regularly pays him visits to discuss her own alienated life and relationship troubles . though their relationship only develops up to a certain point , it\u2019s that very same restraint that allows the story to make a compelling break with convention .\nfar from the solution to his troubles , lydia merely offers the possibility of hope in fresh companionship . poekel\u2019s muted screenplay frames their story in basic terms , avoiding the prospects of a tidy climax and allowing the somber nature of his characters to take the lead . the result is a lightweight but utterly likable riff on urban loneliness that never forces its themes .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news !

spangeled\u201d reception where we see jefferson smith for the first time , appearing out of place at a banquet table . it never really felt like that was his first appearance . if capra had cut out the earlier scene due to time constraints , it most likely depicted smith at ease in his natural element as a boy ranger leader . this would\u2019ve been a nice contrast to the following scene at the banquet hall . there was also an alternate ending to the film that was removed after its preview . originally , jefferson and saunders return to his hometown in an extended denouement .

that dreams one has during the day come true . jithan ramesh plays the lead and karunas and another newcomer form his group of friends . the story revolves around ramesh ' s scary daydream and how it impacts the lives of those around him . ramesh and his friends are traveling to his friend\u2019s place to attend an engagement when ramesh dozes off in the bus and dreams of the bus meeting with an accident in which karunas , one of his friends gets killed , and the girl who is to be engaged to his friend has a dosham that will result in the death of the bride groom to - be and this forces him to marry the girl , played by mallika kapoor . shortly after their marriage , ramesh ' s father manivannan dies of a heart attack and mallika , out of guilt , that she was the one responsible for all the mishaps immolates herself . ramesh wakes up to this to try and stop this impending future that he believes will unfold before his eyes .\nhis efforts to stop this from happening forms the rest of the story and to everyone ' s surprise the major part of his dream does come true . but as is true for all tamil movies , the incidents don ' t culminate the way it did in his dream .\nin an attempt to establish this trait of ramesh , the director has some funny scenes involving karunas with the latter trying hard to make sure that his dreams don ' t come true . these scenes do raise a few laughs and one particular incident while the two are traveling in the bus where ramesh screams on dreaming a deadly incident forces the driver , played by nellai siva , to stop the bus midway and grab a cup of tea thanking ramesh for waking him up , sends the audience into splits .\nramesh shows remarkable improvement in his performance but definitely hasn ' t reached there yet . karunas adds the necessary pep to the proceedings while saranya and manivannan as ramesh ' s parents carry off their role with ease . mallika kapoor doesn ' t have too much scope to perform .\nsrikanth deva ' s songs fail to stay on after you leave the theatre but his background score makes up for it . cinematography by c . rajasekhar and raja mohammed ' s editing do add some pace to the movie . director gv kumar comes in for adulations for having chosen a wafer thin plot and adding some interesting twists and turns to what is otherwise only an average fare . verdict : time pass , for those with plenty to spare\nyou can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .\nit stars with a dream . the dream of the hero ramesh shows a mishap in a marriage hall . the ` thirumangalyam ' falls down in the fire . the marriage is stalled . ramesh comes forward to marry the girl . a friend is sent to get a new ` thirumangalyam ' but he dies in an accident . the second marriage too gets stalled . the bride is dejected and kills herself . the dream ends .\nit is a dream that comes when ramesh is traveling in a bus to attend a marriage . he ignores it as just a dream . but he is in for a shock when he goes to the marriage hall . the friend of the bride is the same girl , whom he saw in the dream as bride .\nthe marriage goes on without any hiccup . our hero , meanwhile , keeps on seeing many dreams . in the dream he loves the girl , whom he saw dead in his first dream . he starts loving the girl in real life too . when the love develops and leads to marriage , he is afraid that the girl would die as seen in the dream .\n` jithan ' ramesh has portrayed the fear over the dreams well . he as handled the dilemma between the love and the fear very naturally .\nsrikanth deva ' s songs are just about okay . the song ` ther varuthu ' is an enjoyable peppy song . sridhar ' s choreography too has come out well .\nthough the film has nothing special , it does manage to entertain with its fast pace and humour .\nhow do you digest a story where the hero ramesh ( ramesh ) an ordinary guy suddenly starts seeing things that are going to happen in the immediate future ? ramesh goes to a village for the wedding of a friend along with his buddy karupusamy ( karunas ) and he starts getting nightmarish dreams .\nin his dreams he gets nightmares of his friend karupusamy , s death due to a lorry accident , his falling in love with chembakam ( mallika kapoor ) a village girl who is said to be unlucky and on his wedding day his father succumbing to a heart attack . some of his worst dreams come true , while others are averted due to a scientific approach . at the end of it everybody lives happily ever after !\nthere is absolutely no script or any logic . the height of absurdity is the heroine as a child was in love with an eight year old model who appeared in an energy drink advertisement who later after many years turns out to be the hero ! the acting is uniformly z grade and there is nothing to recommend in the film .\nat one point in the film karnas mumbles ; ? this is sanely insane , who wrote the script ? ? quite right . it succinctly sums up this embarrassingly bad film and there ? s absolutely no reason why you should torture yourself through this one .\n{\ntitle\n:\npulivarudhu\n,\nalbumseokeyword\n:\npulivarudhu\n,\nalbumid\n:\nt0001216\n,\nimage\n:\nhttps : \\ / \\ / d1k89quaw9hlgo . cloudfront . net \\ / raagaimg \\ / r _ img \\ / catalog \\ / cd \\ / t \\ / t0001216 . jpg\n,\nreleaseyear\n:\n2007\n,\nmusic\n:\n,\ncast\n:\njithan ramesh , mallika kapoor , karunas\n,\nshare _ link\n:\ntamil \\ / album \\ / pulivarudhu -

the ryerson school of journalism .\nthis module approaches the\nbig questions\nthat have surrounded film and the moving image and puts them into historical context . although specific topics will vary

are often gendered masculine , their powerful , active and typically violent male protagonists seen as representing masculinity . there is , however , also a long tradition of transgressive female protagonists in\nmale\ngenres , and this module investigates such characters . in addition to giving an overview of various types of transgressive female protagonists , the module explores in depth one or a few type ( s ) of transgressive female protagonist depending on the convenor ' s research interests . case studies may include american action film , martial arts film , blaxploitation / exploitation film , rape - revenge film , western , crime film / television , film noir and horror in film and television . for example , in the action film the female protagonist\u0092s display of power and strength may be seen as masculine , but she is often also portrayed with stereotypically feminine traits such as beauty and a sexy appearance . the female protagonist is thus often perceived as standing between the masculine and the feminine . among the many questions triggered by transgressive female protagonists , this module might explore whether this character can and should be perceived as feminist or merely as exploitative , and how and why such protagonists may appeal to a female audience in particular .\nmr chandramouli review : if you are looking for time pass

literature and film in relation to the different forms of narration and storytelling in cinema , focusing on questions of structure , reliability and temporality . the psychological and aesthetic role of narrative may be explored through a range of theories and analyses from within film studies and from other disciplines such as anthropology , literary studies , psychology and philosophy . the course will be taught through a series of case - studies using a wide range of films within american and world cinema .\ni was walking my dog many times in the area where the castle that was shown in the film was at , and i always thought that is was beautiful but at the same time mystic and scary looking . i knew that i wanted to make a film in or around the castle , but it was first when i watched the media news clip of the found human skull that i got the idea of the film . i thought it was such a bizarre thing that someone would put a human skull in a plastic bag and that it later was found hanging in a tree . so i combined the human skull with the castle and came up with the idea of a twisted cannibal sect with internal leadership problems .\nmy goal is to make feature films and tv shows , but finding a good story to turn it into a film or a tv show is always a challenge , however , i love to be challenged , it ' s my motto .\ni would like to give a brief analysis of each film before turning to a final consideration of how their representations of the social as a function of car culture evince a common epistemological model that i hypothesize is in play in broader global culture .\nthe strong interrelationship between contemporary art and cinema is prominent in contemporary culture . within the film element of your degree , you engage with cinema\u2019s rich scope and history , from silent classics and mainstream hollywood to world cinema and the avant - garde .\nthis short movie does not intend to push my point of view , but rather to inspire people to think about what happiness is from each person\u2019s perspective . at the end of this film , everyone in the story seems a step further toward happiness . the\ncg : abhi wanted to make a film of a philosophy manuscript of mine , \u201cbelieve everything : philosophical dialogues . \u201d i thought that another idea i had , \u201csolipsism , \u201d would work better . so i wrote up the screenplay and he liked it .\nsunil manghani is reader in critical and cultural theory at winchester school of art , university of southampton , uk . his publications appear in theory , culture & society , film international , parallax , journal of visual art practice , and . . . read more\nthis module examines the creative critical turn made by artists and theorists when engaging with mass culture ' s quotidian productions . it examines such iterations of this turn as found in the surrealist ' s play with the violent poetics of arch - criminal mastermind fant\u00f4mas and the oneirism of film noir ; the nouvelle vague\u0092s validation of american hard - boiled fiction and crime films , particularly kiss me deadly ; fritz lang\u0092s pulp fantasies of criminal conspiracies in his dr . mabuse series ; abstract painter and film critic manny farber ' s theory of termite art and the art brut style of samuel fuller ; and film critic parker tyler\u0092s configuration of a camp aesthetic . these are all versions of the modernist intervention into the world of commodified culture \u0096 transformations of mass cultural artefacts into art through critique .\nthe film is set in a speculative philippines where air pollution has reached irreparable proportions . air pollution has rendered breathable oxygen scare . this makes it the main resource around which society revolves . the film follows two protagonists : leo sagaysay , a young father and husband who works at the oxygen factory , and his wife rubi sagaysay . together they have a son , whom they struggle to support . the appearance of ex - factory worker tess at their door sets off a chain of events that leads to the downfall of the sagaysay family .\nthe blue angel ( der blaue engel ) is one of germany\u2019s most significant films . it is reportedly the first german sound film and when it was made the filmmakers simultaneously made a ( superior ) german language version and an english language version . it was made towards the end of the weimar republic period ( 1919 - 1933 ) and contains many of the characteristics of german expressionism , a style that dominated the era , in particular the fantasy , horror and science fiction films . but most significantly , the blue angel was the first film that director josef von sternberg worked on with marlene dietrich . their pairing is still regarded as one of the all time great director / actor collaborations in film history . together they created dietrich\u2019s unique star persona , a mixture of masculinity and femininity , sensuality and stylised camp .\nthe original genesis of on tour was for it to be an episodic tv show where every episode is a different city on the tour . i ' m hoping that after sharing the pilot as a short , the film will resonate with enough people to do future episodes .\nthis is the first time that i had four hits in a row . hope this will continue . i think when the planning becomes right , my likes and convictions are in sync with the majority of the people , the film becomes a hit ,\njose said .\nthis was my \u201cdo it myself\u201d project . i produced , directed , edited , and acted in this film . it was challenging , rewarding , and i\u2019m glad i chose that path for this project . but i\u2019ll definitely hire both a producer and editor for all future projects .\nthis new programme offers a critically engaging and expansive approach to the discipline of art history combined with film . it has been designed to equip you with the key visual , critical and professional skills necessary for a career in the art world and for a range of other employment opportunities .\nthis module addresses a series of documentary films in their historical context and in relation to the different modes of non - fiction filmmaking . documentary narrative techniques including the use of archival footage , staged reconstructions of past events , and talking - head interviews , are investigated by means of close textual analysis and through a comparative approach to diverse documentary films . this module also explores the boundaries between fiction and non - fiction and , while articulating a definition of documentary film , it studies film forms that present an interplay between the two , such as mockumentaries and essay films .\ni have a pretty good setup now . i\u2019m a creative director at an ad agency where i get to write and go on shoots and learn a lot . and i can then occasionally make short films in my spare time . the dream would be that my shorts would eventually lead to an offer to write and / or direct a feature film or television show . but for now i\u2019m just happy to make something that involves no clients telling me what to do , and that a few dozen or a few hundred people can enjoy in at film festivals or online .\ni was hoping to accomplish some tension , horror vibes and some laughs . i didn ' t really have any bigger goals or deeper meanings with the story than that . though , in first draft of the screenplay the film was meant to scare the shit out of you , but after henrik norman ( actor , sir deer ) read the script and gave some great inputs , i decided to make it less gruesome and more weird and comedy oriented . the film needed to take it self less serious and more humorous , and i think it turned out better that way .\ni\u2019ve always loved movies . with that love , i had a subconscious desire to work on them , but never acted upon it until high school . in high school i took a couple film classes and that\u2019s when i realized that ' s what i wanted to do with my life .\nipg : experienced professionals , creative ideas , friendly people . immanuel production group is a one - stop shop for video production , print advertising and website design . at ipg , we make your visions reality . whether you\u2019re shooting a reality tv show , a live event , an infomercial or a corporate video , our sought - after

ever - changing formats and techniques , ipg can handle even the most complicated shoots with confidence . our team also includes bilingual cameramen and steadicam operators .\ni have a bunch of notebooks ( now note apps ) filled with kernels of ideas , 99 % of which are pretty dumb . when a producer i know approached me about taking part in a schlocky exploitation anthology film he wanted to put together , i dug through the notebooks and came across an idea i ' d had a few years prior - a woody allen - esque comedy about normal people dealing with normal relationship problems in the midst of a godzilla movie . the anthology film fell by the wayside , but i released the short and it was fortunately greeted with a warm reception .\ni was always a storyteller . i started as a bookworm when i was a child which evolved into being a writer then i became an actor and director for theatre . when i was deciding my major at unc - chapel hill , my parents wanted me to do something practical . even though i wanted to pursue creative writing and dramatic arts , i opted to try out journalism upon my parents\u2019 advice . it was then that i fell in love with documentary film - making . i didn\u2019t like the idea of being a news reporter because it seemed insensitive and disingenuous . but with documentary film - making , i loved the idea of taking someone\u2019s words and stories and connecting them together in a beautiful way . i also studied film as my second major so i create narrative works as well . i feel very comfortable behind the camera and i\u2019ve learned a lot over the years after my college graduation .\nwrestling with integrity was based on a stage play that i\u2019d written a while back . it was a ten - minute play that got produced as part of the boston theater marathon . it was really well received , and so that audience was almost like a test audience for the film . i thought , if it went over well on stage , i at least know there\u2019s something in the story that people connect with . in the stage version the whole play takes place in donald\u2019s apartment . it was fun to be freed up to add characters and move the action to different locations in the film version .\nwith a drop from the previous weekend of 49 . 5 % , iron man 3 has managed two consecutive falls of less than 50 % , a solid achievement for a film that opened at such a high level . star trek into darkness represents fairly direct competition , so the hold at the weekend is as good as could be expected . after 18 days , the marvel sequel has reached a nifty \u00a331 . 1m , which compares to \u00a340 . 3m for the avengers at the same stage of its run . the latter film reached \u00a351 . 9m in the uk , so at this point iron man 3 looks set to max out around \u00a340m . the first iron man film reached \u00a317 . 4m , while the sequel got to \u00a321 . 3m . the top title of 2013 so far is les mis\u00e9rables with \u00a340 . 5m , so disney have a shot at overtaking it with iron man 3 by the end of its run .\nthis course examines the mechanisms and conditions that facilitate and enhance transnational cultural flows . we will study how filmmakers actively franchise , adopt and rework film styles and genres . a genre or style initiated in one country can be quickly adopted in another , with filmmakers tailoring the genre or style to the tastes of local audiences . we will both analyse some of the generic conventions that these films foreground and / or transform and isolate some of the national subtleties that are only discernible to local audiences . as the number of co - productions continues to rise , critics and viewers feel perplexed , and sometimes even amused , in their attempts to discern and identify the nationality of a film . we will critically assess whether any limitations exist embedded in such a co - production strategy , which blurs and obscures the specificities of each nation - state involved . finally , we will explore whether the changing mediascape \u0096 one of transnational , multi - media corporate conglomerate involvement in film production .\nthe most challenging thing was to do basically everything by myself . and i had just my private , very limited wallet as budget . so , to write , direct , edit , making masks , recruiting cast / crew , instructing cast / crew , plan every set , being the location scout , buying equipment , making posters , texting and send the film to various film festivals and at the same time being a dad , a husband , working full time ( had got back to work the last month of filming ) was absolutely very demanding . it was a fun process though and i know that i now have grown alot as a independent filmmaker ."]}

it ended when the nation lay in ruins . what set h apa\nitchan is a close friend of h at primary ( or national ) school . h confides in him that he owns a postcard from new york and talks to itchan about the united states . itchan passes this information on to another boy , who writes\nspy\non h ' s desk in chalk . however , h and itchan are soon reconciled .\nif taken as an artistic attempt to explain why japan continued along the path to what in retrospect can only be seen as its inevitable self - destruction , then a boy called h serves as a valuable aid for those who did not live through that process to be more compassionate with those who did . as such , it is well worth reading .\nokubo is a friend of h in second middle school . like h , okubo does not believe the official versions of the war .\nafter a number of visits to his room , h found himself liking the delivery boy more and more and decided that as a mark of respect he ' d give him the nickname\nred label .\nyet any astute reader should see a boy called h as a literary work . each chapter is neatly constructed to make a single point and could stand alone as a short story , complete with beginning , middle and end . senoh said on a tv talk show that the chapters were written so that they would not have to be read in any particular order . indeed , the author often explains characters and h ' s current situation in a way that appears redundant to someone who is reading the book straight through .\na boy called h begins in 1937 . h ( short for hajime ) lives in kobe with his father , mother , and younger sister . h is about seven years old . japan is at war with china , and this conflict forms the background for the early part of the novel . it can be seen when h befriends a young man who works at the noodle shop and is shocked when his friend is arrested by the police as a communist and made to join the army . another of h ' s friends , the projectionist at the movie theater , hangs himself rather than be drafted into the army .\nin 1997 , senoh published his autobiographical novel a boy called h : a childhood in wartime japan . this work was his first venture into full - length book form . the novel was a best - seller in japan and other countries in asia , selling over two million copies . it was adapted for the stage , and a television dramatization was made in 1999 . the novel was translated into english in 1999 .\na boy called h is carefully constructed to recreate the boy ' s development . the first chapters artfully illustrate his early innocence , curiosity and exuberance with a series of anecdotes reminiscent of the adventures of tom sawyer and huckleberry finn . like mark twain , senoh kappa narrates the story from the perspective of the youth , so that we see all his questions and confusion about the complex social issues in the world around him , but in a way that allows the more informed adult reader to laugh gently at his foibles .\ni was also intrigued by yasuo fuhata ' s a boy called h ( 2013 ) a japanese film about a protestant christian tailor ' s family ' s experiences throughout the imperialistic surge and subsequent american occupation as seen through the eyes of the young son ,\nh\n( hajime ) . the child actors were quite compelling and it is an interesting story of survival and preservation among what many saw as mass hysteria . the there was the compelling coming of age story ,\nwhen first published in japan in 1997 , a boy called h quickly became a best - seller . over two million copies were sold , and critics hailed the book as an outstanding example of literature about world war ii , although there was also a feeling that the book was not absolutely reliable in its historical details . most of these details were minor . for example , in an incident that takes place in the book in the summer of 1942 , h ' s sister sings a patriotic song that was not published until 1945 .\nat his new school , h joins the riding club and learns how to ride a difficult horse called kamikeru . but he runs foul of inspector tamori , who is in charge of military training . tamori is furious when he discovers in h ' s notebook a drawing of a nude woman , copied from a painting by manet . to escape tamori , h joins the rifle club , where he learns military drills and target practice . this training culminates in an arduous night march .\nsumiyama , a friend of h in second middle school , is kind to h when h ' s house is burned down . sumiyama also enthusiastically practices how to fight and kill enemy soldiers if they should land in japan .\nafter the war began with china , the government expected the press to be loyal to the japanese cause , and restrictions were placed on it . any news regarding the economy or foreign events was considered to be a state secret and could not be published without permission . ( in a boy called h , h frequently expresses annoyance and frustration at the number of things that are declared state secrets . ) further regulations made it a punishable offense to deviate from official guidelines or to reveal any information considered helpful to the enemy .\nhe did his rounds on a bicycle , singing loudly as he pedaled along . that was what attracted h : whenever he heard the delivery boy singing he ' d jump on his own bike and pedal off after him .\niwao hayashi is a friend of h . they are in the same grade at primary school . hayashi is a champion wrestler ; he is also intelligent and like h is good at drawing .\nthroughout a boy called h : a childhood in wartime japan , h continues to have troubling thoughts that explore the ethics of war . his musings are mature for a person his age , probably in part because his parents are thoughtful and deviate from the norm . keeping his thoughts to himself , or occasionally confiding to a few like - minded adults ( including his father ) , h questions the official party line and finds discrepancies in news coverage of the war . in some cases , h realizes that his views differ from those of his friends or his teachers . in riskier instances , he is silent , as when he is interviewing for a slot in school and is asked about his opinion on the war . a reviewer in publishers weekly suggests that this discrepancy\nholm is a freelance writer with speculative fiction and nonfiction publications . in this essay , holm looks at how senoh captures the insidious effects of war in a young boy ' s daily life .\nmuneo ogura is a close friend of h toward the end of his time at second middle school .\nhe remembered various things now : how his friend had looked almost angry when he ' d called him\nred label ,\nand forbidden him to use the nickname ; the large number of records and books that he ' d had ; and the awkward look on his face when h had said\nsomething private to talk about .\nno , he hadn ' t been an ordinary delivery boy .\nfor those of us in a country that has never seen traditional warfare on its soil , it can be difficult to imagine the day - to - day realities of living in a nation under attack . even news coverage cannot come close to capturing the insidious ways that war can affect individual lives . kappa senoh ' s fictionalized autobiography , a boy called h : a childhood in wartime japan , does a fantastic job of capturing the process of war and its increasing presence in the life of h and others . the book ' s precocious protagonist does not flinch from making his views about war known to the reader , even though h feels he must keep his opinions to himself in many public situations .\nboy h ' s father was a tailor , his mother a tambourine - banging christian in a country of very few christians . his childhood unfolded in the 1930s , when militarism was steadily strengthening its grip on japan ; it ended when the nation lay in ruins . what set h apart from other kids , despite the shared preoccupation with schoolmates , movies , and sex , was an unusually sharp eye and a precociously skeptical attitude that made him a bit of a loner in a conformist society .\nset in 1950s tuscany , voice from the stone is the haunting and suspenseful story of verena , a solemn nurse drawn to aid a young boy who has fallen silent since the sudden passing of his mother .\nbut h ' s life has its troubles .\nmaps and eggs\ndescribes the futile efforts h and his parents make to curb his bed - wetting . and in\nlove ,\nh learns to his embarrassment that the word love can have many different connotations . in\na boy and a sea ,\nhe and his friends row a dinghy too far from the shore and endanger themselves . then torrential rains drench kobe for days and lead to a serious flood . in his borrowed book the three treasures , h secretly reads children ' s stories in a book he borrows from a friend , even though his mother disapproves of his reading fiction .\nwhat !\nh exclaimed in surprise .\nis yoshie a man ?\nyoshie was more common as a woman ' s name .\ndone in white on a dark brown background , the name stood out even at a distance . but the boy , far from sharing his mother ' s pride andpleasure , found the idea of wearing something so different from other boys ' clothes a major embarrassment .\nthis is the fascinating true story of a japanese boy ' s growing disillusionment with the conduct of a patriotic war . boy h ' s father was a tailor , his mother a tambourine - banging christian in a country of very few christians . his childhood unfolded in the 1930s , when militarism was steadily strengthening its grip on japan ; it ended when the nation lay in ruins . what set h apart from other kids , despite the shared preoccupation with schoolmates , movies , and sex , was an unusually sharp eye and a precociously skeptical attitude that made him a bit of a loner in a conformist society . though at times dark , his anecdotes are arranged with the lightest of touches and a sharp sense of humor . the total effect is of a rich , varied , and intensely readable novel , but one that involves real lives , actual events .\nh didn ' t know what an intellectual type of criminal was . but took it as a compliment .\nnot\nryohei koiso , a well - known artist , helps h in his studies after he graduates from second middle school .\nhazel rochman , in booklist , commenting on how world war ii becomes increasingly real for h , noted that\nthe writing is quiet , almost detached at times , until you come to realize that the young boy is fighting emotional breakdown .\nalmost every evening after that , h went to the young man ' s room .\nalso called h , hajime senoh is the son of morio and toshika senoh . as a young boy in primary school he is intelligent and mischievous . according to his father , hajime has a habit of saying the first thing that comes into his head . hajime learns ways of getting what he wants even if he has to be devious . when he has no money but wants to see a\npuppet peepshow\nat a fairground , he tries to scare off the adults who are watching it by telling them they can contract an eye disease by touching the lens . significantly , his favorite god in japanese myth is susanowo , who has a reputation for behaving badly .\nwith a smile , the other took a box down from a shelf , put some dark - colored beans in it , and ground them with a loud rasping sound . there was a smell rather like tobacco , which h found a bit disturbing , but he did his best not to show it .\nuncle hadano is a civil engineer . he is a close friend of the senoh family , and that is why h calls him uncle , although he is not a blood relative . h is fond of him and regards him as another father . the affection is mutual . h stays with uncle hadano for a while towards the end of the war . uncle hadano gets sick with cancer and dies shortly afterwards .\na recurring theme in a boy called h is the extent to which the japanese newspapers during wartime did not report the truth . h gets frustrated with what he reads about the war because he senses , as does his father , that they are not getting the whole story . when the first air raids are made on kobe , the newspaper headlines read ,\nthe neighborhood association spirit beats the raiders .\nthis puzzles h because he knows that , in fact , the air raid had taken the neighborhood association by surprise and that , in practice , the hazards of putting out fires were nothing like the smooth drills they had been regularly practicing . also , someone is killed in that first raid , but the newspapers fail to report it . h decides that the newspapers\nare just a pack of lies !\nand he does not change his opinion from then on .\nh ' s father takes him to a restaurant , and h is allowed into the adjoining movie theater for his first taste of a film . not long after this experience , h gets a chance to make money of his own through an ingenious arrangement . he resells the paste that his father uses in his tailoring business to his school friends for use in their handicraft classes .\nso from third grade on it was agreed that it should be just the letter h .\nsince pencils often had\nh\nengraved on them , it was one letter of the alphabet that everyone could read , and in no time\nh\nbecame his nickname .\nh was startled ; he ' d never been shouted at like that by him before .\none of the best books i have ever read . it provides a highly descriptive and personal account of growing up in kobe during ww2 . the author covers day to day details of his life as a student in a world that was becoming more difficult to live in by the day . food shortages , brutal treatment by teachers , work in the factories and h ' s growing sense of disillusionment with those who were promoting the wartime propaganda are vividly portrayed . h also shows his own transformation from a young boy to hi\nwith a true nonconformist ' s mentality , h makes it clear early on that he respects people who stand for their principles . though his mother has forbidden him to read anything but the bible and textbooks , she finds that he is secretly reading the three treasures ( h loves books and movies ) . when she confronts an unsuspecting teacher about this , the teacher covers for h , saying that reading such books was good for h , and reading only the bible\nwasn ' t likely to do [ children ] much good .\nh admires the pragmatism and forthright nature of the teacher . given such glimpses at h ' s parents , it is easy to see how such a young protagonist developed such a questioning and intelligent nature . although his mother is an evangelist , she is at least willing to change her stance regarding h ' s reading material after meeting with the teacher . h ' s father also has a number of interesting discussions with h on the subjects of war , tolerance for other religions and cultures , and ethics . at one point , h ' s father tells the boy ,\nif you ' re going to call religions that other people believe in ' heathen , ' you can ' t complain if other people refer to christianity as heathen .\nh , who knew what\ninforming\nmeant , felt his heart begin to thump suffocatingly .\nh is indeed horrified , even if the tone of the narrative is relatively subdued . in fact , throughout the book , h seems to process many horrifying experiences in a subdued , almost clinical way . it is difficult to tell whether this is part of the author ' s style or whether the protagonist , as reviewer hazel rochman suggests in booklist , sounds detached because\nthe young boy is fighting emotional breakdown .\nh notes that the paper never reports on the incident . throughout the book , he ' ll continually notice discrepancies between reality and what the news reports , especially as the war accelerates . and possibly , for the first time in his life , the concept of being an informant is really understood by the boy . he begins to fear that noodles will think h informed on him .\nin an interesting scene toward the end of the book , h expresses sudden joy that the war is over . his friend is upset with h ' s reaction and joy , since the friend ' s family members are potentially dead or injured because of the war . the friend smacks h in anger , and h experiences a sudden catharsis .\nsuddenly , the tear spilled from h ' s eyes too\u2014not from regret at the defeat , but out of sheer , frustrated puzzlement as to what the war had been all about .\nh fights with his conscience through much of the book . in showing this , senoh has made the book completely readable , since h is confronting aspects of the human condition others can relate to .\nh ' s own favorite was the young man at the noodle shop farther along from them on the other side of the main street . the grownups living thereabouts couldn ' t quite place him .\nseems he ' s from tokyo ,\nthey ' d say .\nhe looks too smart for a delivery boy .\nyokota is a friend of h , and h considers him to be worldly - wise . yokota is one of the students who participates with h on the arduous night march and other military drills . he and h go on a secret riding excursion together and are consequently expelled from the riding club . yokota ' s family home is burned down following the big air raid on kobe in 1945 . not long after this event , his father is killed in action in the south pacific .\nlurking behind the day - to - day experiences of the growing boy is the specter of the imperialism and militarism that characterized japanese society in the 1930s and continued until the japanese defeat in 1945 . imperialism and militarism are apparent almost from the beginning , in the passing reference to the neighborhood celebrations that followed the fall of nanking , china , to invading japanese forces in 1937 . h is affected by the war when he is only seven years old , when two of his friends are called up to the army . one of them commits suicide rather than enlist .\nlieutenant tamori is the teacher in charge of military training at h ' s second middle school . all the students fear him . he is known as\nhis lechery\nbecause not only does he cultivate an imperious manner , he also makes inappropriate inquiries about the boys ' sisters . tamori takes a dislike to h when he finds h ' s sketch of a female nude in his notebook . in another incident , tamori hits h for what he regards as an insolent remark . h joins the rifle club to escape him . later he hears a rumor that some years earlier , tamori ' s wife ran off with another man . this information makes h believe that tamori must be lonely , and he feels compassion for him .\nit is immediately after the girly boy incident that h ' s true feelings about war begin to become clear . h begins to have the courage to process such thoughts internally , even though they run counter to what the government would have the public believe about the war . with surprising clarity for a young child , and an unusual lack of fear at the circumstances , h reflects on the situation .\nhis friend hadn ' t wanted to be a soldier , he thought to himself : suicide was the only alternative . he wondered if hanging himself had seemed better than being killed by a bullet on the battlefield .\nmorio is unfailingly kind and attentive to h , always ready to give him sound advice . even when h throws a rice pot lid at him and walks out of the house , morio does not blame him and welcomes him back with warmth .\nyou thought he was a woman , did you ? he ' s a famous tenor . of course he ' s a man . ' like a feather in the wind ' is a famous aria .\nyoshiko senoh , h ' s sister , is two years younger than h . she likes to cling to her older brother , and h finds this attachment a nuisance . but in one incident yoshiko shows him kindness and he thinks better of her . this event occurs when she insists on eating with the fork that has one prong missing , even though it was h who broke the fork . yoshiko is evacuated to the countryside when the air raids start .\nverena is a young nurse hired to help a mute young heir within an isolated castle in tuscany . the more she observes the boy , the more verena becomes convinced he has fallen under the spell of a powerful and otherworldly persona trapped in the castle ' s stone walls , one that seems to be quickly approaching on her .\nthe defeat on guadalcanal was also initially reported as a success , until , as h found out , it was conceded that japanese forces had made a\nsideward advance\n( which as shillony shows is a translation of the japanese word tenshin and is the equivalent of the phrase\nadvancing in another direction\nthat h reads about ) .\ni think i ' ll like it when i ' ve had it a few times and get used to the bitterness ,\nsaid h .\nbased on kappa senoh ' s 3 . 4 million selling autobiographical novel , this film set during the first half of the 1940s is a coming of age story with a twist , featuring a young boy named hajime ( nicknamed\nh\n) . their family is quite worldly compared to their community , his mother is a devout christian and his father is a tailor working with many expatriates in kobe . as patriotic world war ii unfolds , hajime ' s understanding of the world is challenged but his survival spirit shines through .\nh didn ' t want to go home yet , so he pressed him to play something else instead .\nthe hero is dubbed\nh\nby his friends because his mother , inspired by a photograph she received from a foreign missionary friend , has knit the first letter of the boy ' s name , hajime , into a sweater that he often wears . both of his parents are devout christians with many contacts in the foreign community of kobe , and both strive to live according to their principles , especially by showing brotherly love to all people .\nwhile this reviewer might find that these\nbig questions\nwould have been dealt with more directly had h voiced them aloud , h does , on many occasions , struggle with the questions internally , giving the reader a good argument regarding the ethics of war .\nset in kobe in the early showa period . hajime ( yoshioka tatsuki ) , known as\nh\n, is an intensely curious boy with a strong sense of justice . he grows up loved by his liberal father morio ( mizutani yutaka ) and christian mother toshiko ( ito ran ) , but the war soon casts its shadow on hajime ' s life .\neven though japan is not at war in the beginning of this book , the stage is being set as the author skillfully accents aspects of h ' s life that will later prove to have a direct relationship , in some way , to war . early on , h ' s mother is described as an ardent christian . the practice of christianity is not the norm during this period in japan . h ' s mother came from a family of buddhists , and\nno one had dreamed for a moment that she might become christian , and it caused quite a stir in the village .\nlater , h ' s family is suspect in a general way , as wartime propaganda paints a picture of christianity as the religion of the\nbritish and american fiends .\nh ' s family is considered unusual in the community of kobe , since h ' s father is a tailor and has customers of all nationalities ( kobe has an international population ) . as the wartime situation becomes more tense , h ' s family needs to consider how openly they can practice their religion . h ' s father wonders if he ' ll still have international customers and how his business will fare .\nhudson loverro , left , as a younger version of the character mr . thornton plays , with richard h . blake in the role of his father .\nh ' s transition from childhood to early adulthood is apparent in several major episodes . firing live ammunition with the school rifle club for the first time is a significant moment , for example . so are the many times when he questions the validity of reports he reads in the newspapers about the progress of war . but the most important episode is when the family home is set on fire following an american air raid with incendiary bombs . fifteen - year - old h immediately takes charge , giving his mother instructions about what to do and dousing a quilt in water so that they can put it over their heads as they flee . when his mother stops to pray , he tells her they must keep moving . in fact , she has fainted , and h ' s slaps get her conscious again . then they come upon a woman whose son is badly injured . h almost faints at the sight of the blood , but he regains control of himself and offers the woman his flask of water , which she gives to the boy . but this is not enough to save him . for the first time h witnesses death , and h feels compassion for the dead boy\u2014at least he is no longer in pain .\nh is a nonconformist and a pragmatist . he is also a survivor . it ' s no surprise , therefore , when h begins to pursue a career as an artist toward the end of the book . many artists , through their work , pursue an ideal of telling the truth , of speaking the truth and letting it be known . although the character h may hesitate , out of necessity , to voice his opinions , the author has used effective honesty in giving us a look at the difficult ethics and the surrealistic everyday life in wartime japan .\nthe military exercises continue . h fires live ammunition for the first time and discovers that he is a good shot . another military exercise involves students simulating leaping up from a hiding place in the ground and throwing a grenade at an enemy tank .\nfuruta is one of the members of the second middle school rifle club , and he encourages h to join .\ni know it !\nh burst out .\nit ' s a nice aria , isn ' t it ,\nhe added self - consciously .\nthree men in black who ' d got onto the roof from the drying platform leapt on him from in front and behind and pinned him down . there was a short struggle with loud cries of\nhey ! stop !\nbefore someone called out\ngot him !\nand the young man disappeared with them over the roof to the other side .\nthis movie portrays the life of a tailor and his family from their boy ' s viewpoint . the locale is kobe , japan before , under and after the ww2 . the husband and wife are protestant christians , minority in japanese society even today . the father looks confident as a tailor , always having positive view of life . the mother has strong sense of mission as a christian , sometimes excessively strong faith . for the boy , having such mother sometimes makes his daily life difficult , but thanks to his father who even takes him to his foreign clients , the boy learns a lot in life . as the nation goes towards militarism and fascism , tribulations come to the christian home . as people see christians close to foreigners and thus suspect them of spying . the father ' s attitude for each issue is reassuring . from his attitude after the war , we can see it is not only his faith but also his pride as a professional tailor that support him . as a movie that portrays japan around the war , and as a movie that portrays a family , i think shonen h will be seen for long . since the plot is written from the child ' s viewpoint , it has simple plot structure , without any side stories . therefore everyone may have own sentiment . as for acting performance , the boy and the girl act very well . when the girl is sent for evacuation , getting on the train , she is nearly crying . the boy quirks his face to make her laugh , and the girl ' s face becomes half smiling and half crying . her face is unforgettable .\nlimited -

spoken young man at a local shop bellowed out a speech welcoming his draft notice , morio points out that\nhe probably has this basic idea that it ' s a man ' s duty to give up his life for his country ,\nand even though his\nmother and the others in his family don ' t want to lose him ,\nhe\nmay well have wanted to declare to himself and everyone else that [ he ] \u2026 was a real man now .\nh also sees morio himself slowly becoming more circumspect , even in his conversations with his son , since the child ' s bragging that his father has a picture postcard of a tall building in america is enough to get morio dragged into the police station for questioning .\nh was particularly fond of the sea . rushing out of the house wearing nothing but a loincloth , he would race down the street and plunge straight into the water .\nno , i won ' t tell anybody ,\nsaid h .\nhere\u0097let ' s swear on it .\nhe crooked a finger and held it out .\nhe lowered the needle gently onto the record . there was a scratchy noise for a moment , then suddenly the sound of a male voice singing .\nbased on the autobiographical novel\nshonen h\nby kappa senoh ( published by kodansha , july 9 , 1999 ) .\nso during the summer holiday h ' s mornings were spent climbing in the hills and his afternoons swimming in the sea .\nnoodles slapped playfully at h ' s head .\ni can see you ' re the intellectual type of criminal .\nthere are certain books a person must read about wwii , and i think this is one of them . it is about a boy growing up in kobe and the war going on around him . the boy , hajime , is unusually perceptive and his father is also very wise . his parents ( especially his mother ) are christians . hajime is good at art and ended up becoming an artist and writer . i looked at kappa senoh ' s biography on google and his real name is indeed hajime senoh . i don ' t personally believe that this book is strictly autobiog\nh does not want to be a tailor like his father . instead , his greatest talent is drawing , and at the age of sixteen he resolves to become an artist .\nthe fellow looked taken aback for a moment , then said ,\nit ' s a friend i haven ' t seen for a long time .\nh , sensing that he was being treated as an adult , felt pleased and said ,\nthat doesn ' t bother me . yes , please .\nthey always drank black tea at h ' s home . he ' d never once had coffee .\nbut while calogero\u2019s father , lorenzo ( richard h . blake ) , assures him that he was right to clam up \u2014 \u201cyou did a good thing for a bad man , \u201d he tells him \u2014 lorenzo ( mr . de niro in the movie ) grows increasingly alarmed when sonny begins taking calogero under his wing , giving him the nickname c and having him run errands , quite profitable ones . as boy grows to teenager , his hero worship only increases , and lorenzo and sonny engage in a tense tug of war for calogero\u2019s soul .\nthe way h rode his bike , unfortunately , was not exactly graceful . they ' d bought him , secondhand , an adult ' s bike , and his feet wouldn ' t reach the pedals if he sat on the saddle , so he had to put his foot through from the side . even so , he got up quite a good speed and would tail the delivery boy closely , singing along with him as he went .\nsometimes plain old pasta with red sauce is just what the doctor ordered . \u201ca bronx tale , \u201d which opened at the longacre theater on broadway on thursday , might be called the musical - theater equivalent of that classic comfort food . it doesn\u2019t break ground or dazzle with an unusual recipe \u2014 like , say , mixing rap and american history \u2014 but it delivers reliable pleasures with polished professionalism and infectious energy .\nliving in a temporary dwelling with his family , h gets angry about everything he does not like . under emotional strain , he quarrels with his parents and leaves home . he intends to commit suicide by lying under a train but pulls back at the last minute . for a while he lives in secret in a building at the school . unsure of whether he will be allowed to graduate , he decides to study art . he seeks out a well - known artist , who allows him to work at his studio . the novel ends with h working as a sign painter during the day and studying at night with fellow artists at a studio .\nlater it turns out that noodles is captured right in h ' s neighborhood ; and that noodles is thought to be a communist informant . but when h hears the neighbors talking about the incident and tries to decipher their meaning , he is brushed aside .\n' what ' re dangerous thoughts ? who ' re the secret police ? ' h asked them anxiously , but the grown - ups suddenly clammed up . ' keep your voice down , ' he was told with a look of fierce disapproval .\nthis is an intensely real , human reaction\u2014one that any reader who has taken a risk ( or considered taking a risk ) in voicing a dissenting opinion will recognize .\nhe sounded so firm about it that h said in a knowing voice ,\nall right , i won ' t . i expect you ' ve got something private to talk about .\na few days after the bombing , h observes the area around hyogo station , which is completely leveled . dead bodies yet to be cremated are visible in the area . it is a sobering moment for h , who as a result of the air raid has been forced to lose any childhood innocence he may have had left :\n' so this is war , ' he thought as he gazed over the seemingly endless sea of destruction .\nothers tend to see h as an odd boy , although he has plenty of friends at school . but he is always questioning authority and asking awkward questions about why things are as they are . he is puzzled by the adults who say that everything that happens in the war is the will of the emperor , since h cannot see how the emperor can possibly be aware of all the things being done in his name . h ' s instincts are pacifistic , and he does not want to join the rifle club because he feels it is too warlike . he makes up his own version of a patriotic jingle , neatly reversing its meaning . he becomes exasperated when he realizes that the newspapers are not telling the truth about the war ."]}

born sergio peris - mencheta ) and brings him to the ranch to train . all kinds of flesh is peddled , but no one figures that grace and bruza will find something together that goes deeper than sex . threat . . .\njenn + kyle had an amazing wedding day at baker\u2019s ranch in parrish , florida . we began our day at the historic hampton inn downtown bradenton for hair and makeup and had a really fun time with all of the ladies . bakers ranch was in full\ngetting ready for a beautiful wedding\nmode when we arrived for bridal party photographs . elegant designs had decorated the pergola with coral and white flowers as well as the wedding site and reception space . affairs in the air had added a special touch with draping and lighting in the reception area as well . jenn and brad were married at the love locks bridge ceremony site and were surrounded by family and friends as they took their vows laughing and shedding a few tears along the way . later in the evening we snuck out to place their lock on the gate and take some intimate photographs . we returned with the party in full swing . all of the delicious hors d ' oeuvres and dinner was provide by nellie ' s catering . we ended the evening with some after dark fun photographs . we wish jenn + kyle happily ever after in each others arms .\n\u201ci\u2019m sure that ruby makes everyone she meets feel special , maybe that\u2019s why we all love her so . she\u2019s an amazing , giving woman . i\u2019ve written before of her physical beauty , and the joy that she brings . those qualities remain and continue to haunt my dreams . but as she reveals herself to you , i think the beauty of her soul reminds me why i want to be a better man . \u201d\npolaroids are a shared love . noah used them in his proposal and we used them for our guest book . i had a beautiful vintage print sketch book i\u2019d owned for years and was waiting for the perfect occasion to use . we had our guests take polaroids of themselves and insert them into the book and it was very special to look through afterwards and see the creative photos , smiling faces and loving words all together .\nwe had no idea how beautiful this wedding was going to be . especially with the ranch . we really appreciate your kindness and flexibility . you truly made our little wedding a big day that both our families continue to talk about . even with the rain , it felt twice as special . we ' ll be back . . .\n\u2014 sean and andrew\npesci ' s performance is interesting . essentially he ' s playing an italian - american criminal of the kind he ' s played before , but the real joe conforte was born in sicily and was a criminal , so that ' s a good excuse . what pesci brings to the role is unadorned energy : joe wants money , sex and status , and although the quality of all three is shoddy at the ranch , he rules it . when his rule is challenged by the treacherous romance , he treats this almost as a threat to his throne rather than himself . there is some pathos here , as he places so much value on such a shabby prize . if there was anything worse than being a customer at the ranch , it must have been being its owner .\neasy is an anthology series from creator joe swanberg that explores diverse chicago characters as they fumble through the modern maze of love , sex , technology and culture . the eight -

medical safeguards .\nquite a bit of the decor was actually my own like the wood farm table , bottles , vintage suitcases and vases and then i bought some additional items i knew we could use in our future home together . i knew i was going to be doing the flowers myself so i made the boutonnieres and corsages ahead of time with dried plants , lace , feathers , balsa wood flowers and other non - perishables and bought raw cotton and extra dried flowers with interesting textures for individual vases , and lots of potted grass plants . i love how long whispy grass catches the light and it also incorporated the native california fields from our backdrop . because of the location and natural / rustic feel the flowers needed to be slightly unruly and more wildflower - like , so i scoped out the la flower mart a few weeks before to mentally select the arrangements and then returned the day before the wedding to make the purchases . my amazing bridesmaids and mother - in - law helped me assemble which was a lot of fun .\n\u201cfrom the moment we saw this beautiful venue , we knew it would be perfect . the grounds are stunning and vast , allowing for choice of where to hold the wedding and / or reception . maka was so helpful with suggestions and ideas . we chose to hold the wedding ceremony under a gum tree , overlooking the flowing creek below . it was very intimate , unique and beautiful . the rolling hills behind are an added bonus . we chose the lovely are under the orange trees to serve cocktails and pupus . the huge lawn area was perfect for a large tent for the reception . the quaint little hall was where the caterers prepared dinner . the barn in all its charm was used for staging prior to the ceremony . when the guests arrived , they were enchanted with all that is anna ranch . there is a certain charm that radiates from everywhere . we could not have been happier with the location . it truly was perfect . if you are looking for somewhere really special to a wedding , this place is it ! \u201d \u2014a . r .\n\u201cwaimea , hawai\u02bbi is where my husband and i met , so we both were wanting to find an intimate , rustic , private , and beautiful place to get married . anna\u02bbs ranch was more than what we could have dreamed or think about . maka , was so sweet from the beginning , she helped in any way she could . from booking an appointment to walking up through right before our big day . she even showed us some possibilities to have a ceremony on property and even offered her grounds keeper to tidy up the specific location where our ceremony was held . i couldn\u02bbt ask for more . maka was very straight forward and also communicated with us in everything we needed to know . our ceremony was held right above the river ( we were blessed because the river started flowing the morning of our wedding ! ! ) which held about 250 guests ! we then moved into the orange tree courtyard where we held guests for pupus and drinks with hawaiian music and dancing , then our reception was held under a big tent on the great lawn . it is beautiful , intimate and romantic . \u201d \u2014 a . r .\nsince our venue was a movie ranch , we thought it appropriate to have a \u201csoundtrack\u201d of our day as a favor to our guests , that also doubled as musical entertainment for the trip home because most were out - of - towners . noah and i are very much into music and it\u2019s something we\u2019re constantly sharing between each other so we had so many songs or musicians that bring us back to special moments . even though we hired a band , i wanted the ceremony to be by ipod so we could play particular songs that were more intimate for us . for the favors , i designed and printed the cd labels and found an etsy vendor that stitched kraft paper cd sleeves and she let me submit my own graphics for the cover . our mutually favorite font is a typewriter font ( which noah has used on several of his tattoos ) so that reappears throughout\u2026 but we also like vintage posters and news articles that have a variety of font sizes and styles so we incorporated that aesthetic . i designed , printed , cut , stamped , painted or hand - wrote every papergood or graphic from the save the dates , tags , invitations , programs , to the signage to maintain a visual consistency and keep costs down .\nthe tomatometer

ramamurthy duo . the heart - rending phrase \u2018kalyanam aanavalai kannipol akkivittaai\u2019 acquires special appeal with the notes \u2018mdns sgrs srsg\u2019 \u2014 a dramatic start at the madhyama , finishing off the lament with flourish at the upper gandhara . often , in film music , this raga may not have been used in its purest form . there may be deviations in certain notes in order to fulfil emotional and lyrical constraints .\npaalum pazhamum is a 1961 tamil - language film directed by a . bhimsingh and featuring sivaji ganesan , b . saroja devi , sowcar janaki and others . sivaji is a doctor searching for a cancer cure . saroja devi is sivaji ' s nurse assistant . sivaji offers to marry her after her father ' s death . saroja devi assists him in his research . after putting in enormous efforts , sivaji emerges successful in formulating a new drug but saroja devi is diagnosed with tuberculosis . sivaji neglects his duties as a doctor and starts focusing more on saroja devi ' s health . saroja devi flees on a train as she does not wish to divert him from his research .\npaalum pazhamum - classic tamil movie - sivaji ganesan & saroja devi . there is an old saying\nthere is a woman behind every man ' s success\nthis is proved true in the life of dr . ravi ( sivaji ganesan ) . dr . ravi , whose only aim in life is to discover a medicine for cancer . he gets a lot of encouragement and support from his colleagues and his wife shanti ( b . saroja devi ) who herself is a nurse by profession . dr . ravi finds success in the first phase of his research ; however before he could begin the second phase shanti is detected of tuberculosis . dr . ravi is shattered and both his research and personal life comes to a stand still . the remaining part of the film portrays the roller costar ride in dr . ravi and shanti ' s life and how they come to terms with all the tragedies in their life .\ni guess i was just about 6 or 7 years old when i started admiring one actor for his extraordinary histrionic skills - the one and only sivaji ganesan . a few great mythological movies like kandhan karunai , thirumal perumai , saraswathi sabadham , thiruvarutchelvar , thiruvilaiyaadal , kandhan karunai . . . followed by patriotic portrayals like kappalottiya thamizhan , veerapandiya kattabomman . . . these are just a few of my favourite movies : parasakthi ( his first movie in 1952 ) , paalum pazhamum , pasa malar , pava manippu , parthal pasi theerum , raja , pattikkaada pattanama , padikkaadha medhai , en thambi , ooty varai uravu , uyarndha manidhan , needhi , vasantha maaligai , aalaya mani , bale pandiya , sumathi en sundari , pachchai vilakku , raja raja chozhan , vietnam veedu , iru malargal , karnan , rajapart rangadurai , sivandha mann , deiva magan , navarathri , avan dhaan manidhan , gauravam , thillana mohanambal , gnana oli , paritchaikku neramaachu , enga mama , thavappudhalvan , galaatta kalyanam , thiri soolam , babu , thanga padhakkam , bharatha vilas , andhaman kaadhali . . . . . . to mudhal mariyaadhai , devar magan , padayappa et al . . . .\na raga that evokes grief and sorrow in the hearts of listeners is subhapantuvarali . one often hears this raga played on the shehnai for sad scenes in tamil films . in reality , this raga is supposed to be auspicious . in weddings up - north , this raga is often played on the shehnai to usher in the festive spirit . the notes taken by this sampoorna raga are shadja , suddha rishabha , sadharana gandhara , prati madhyama , pancama , suddha dhaivata , and kakali nishada . the tivra madhyam in conjunction with the sadharana gandhara brings forth the feel of pathos in this scale .\nthe classical compositions in this raga are few but striking . thyagaraja ' s \u2018ennalu urake\u2019 is a beautiful piece . the most popular kriti in this raga is of course \u2018sri satyanarayanam\u2019 of dikshitar . this raga was known as \u2018shivapantuvarali\u2019 in ancient times , and in \u2018pasupatiswaram\u2019 , composed by dikshitar , about the deity at kathmandu , he writes \u2018shivapantuvarali raaga priyam ati caturam\u2019 .\n\u2018kaala magal\u2019 from \u201cananda jyothi\u201d is a simple and catchy song sung by p . susheela in this raga and msv - ramamurthy tap into the audience pulse with a medium tempo . \u2018unnai naan sandhithen\u2019 from \u201cayirathil oruvan\u201d is largely based on this scale , though a few foreign notes appear . an evergreen melody with a middle - eastern flavour to it , thanks to the background music , this song is once again composed by the msv - ramamurthy duo and sung by p susheela .\nilaiyaraaja\u2019s handling of this raga is deft and refreshing , covering a spectrum of emotions from sorrow to bubbly fun . \u2018azhaikkindran madhavan\u2019 from the film \u201csri raghavendrar\u201d is a pristine depiction of this raga by the maestro . sung by k . j . yesudas , this piece depicts the final journey of sri raghavendra , a revered saint . the composer couldn\u2019t have selected a better raga for this situation . the lines \u2018thaedinen deva devaa , thamarai paadame\u2019 establish the raga beyond doubt , the key phrase being \u2018s , rg , g , rss / srgr ssn\u2019 .\n\u2018vaigaraiyil . . . \u2019 from \u201cpayanangal mudivadillai\u201d is typical subhapantuvarali , the melody beginning strikingly at the dhaivata and with a flourish of sangatis landing at the sadja after plunging soulfully into the dhaivata . sp balasubrahmanyam sings it with a certain heaviness in his voice to suit the actor\u2019s heavy heart . \u2018theertha karai orathile\u2019 from \u201ctheerthakaraiyinile\u201d , sung by spb once again , showcases ilaiyaraaja at his best in this raga . in each one of these songs , the lyrics add great power to the melody . when a colossal raga meets powerful lyrics , the result is musical magic .\n\u2018vaa veliye\u2019 sung mano and chitra from the film \u201cpaadu nilave\u201d begins with a flowery alapana and is structured like a classical piece , though the back - ups are western . an attempt at fusion music , once again a novelty . would anyone conceive a happy , bubbly melody in such a raga ? ilaiyaraaja has , and made it a super - hit . \u2018kandupidichen\u2019 from \u201cguru sishyan\u201d is a fun song , a tad folksy too . the versatility of ilaiyaraaja is reflected in this exceptional piece .\nin hindustani music , this scale resembles the todi thaat and is considered an important raga . \u2018har nayi kiran\u2019 from the film \u201csant gyaneshwar\u201d sung by manna dey ( music by laxmikant - pyarelal ) is a good example of the usage of this raga in hindi film music .\na raga that may be likened to an overflowing akshayapatra is kapi . what can one say about this endearing raga ? listening to it is an experience in itself ! it\u2019s lucid musical contours excite and intrigue . kafi thaat in northern india resembles hindustani kapi .\nkapi uses the notes sadja , chatusruti rishabha , suddha madhyama , pancama , and kakali nishada in ascent . kaisiki nishada , chatusruti dhaivata and sadharana gandhara also feature in the descent contributing to the elusive unfathomable quality that this raga radiates . in modern kapi , bhashanga swaras , i . e . foreign notes are very prominent . the suddha dhaivata features and so does the antara gandhara , as a relief note , each adding more texture to the already rich backdrop . in kapi\u2019s case \u201cmore the merrier\u201d is most apt . raga pilu is an allied raga to kapi and in movie songs there is an overlap between these raga usages .\nin classical music , kapi kritis that are very popular include \u2018intha sowkhya\u2019 , \u2018ramapahi\u2019 , and \u2018meevalla\u2019 of thyagaraja , \u2018janakiramana\u2019 of jeeyar , and \u2018enna thavam\u2019 and \u2018radha mukha kamala\u2019 of papanasam sivan . \u2018parulanamata\u2019 , a javali of dharmapuri subburayar is a classical jewel in this raga . \u2018jagadhodharana\u2019 of purandaradasa is sung in a pretty pilu by m . s . subbulakshmi .\nin film music , this raga is one of the most well - utilised . \u2018dhyaname\u2019 from ashok kumar sung brilliantly by mkt , is raga kapi at its best , the melody being similar to that of the classical piece \u2018janakiramana\u2019 . the antara gandhara beautifully peeps out in \u2018chandra bimba vadanam . . . \u2019 sangati . the flowery phrases are like an interesting puzzle ; while learning these songs it becomes a little game . . . the more complex , the more exciting !\n\u2018annaiyum thandaiyum thaane\u201d ( haridas ) , once again sung by mkt , is a stunning kapi depiction . the phrase \u2018rmpdn , dp\u2019 in kann kanda deivam . . . \u2019 clearly marks the raga bhava . in fact , is there a single phrase in this piece that does not exude with the raga bhava ? one must listen to this piece to feel how liberating classical music can actually get , when rendered by vocally resplendent singers !\n\u2018nandabala\u2019 from meera film is a song where little meera transforms into a young woman ( m . s . subbulakshmi ) , and this song uses kapi raga scale quite effectively in portraying poignancy and the zeal of bhakthi .\nk . b . sundarambal\u2019s kapi is particularly enticing \u2014 \u2018bathavukketra\u2019 from avvaiyar is a viruttam that begins with kapi . \u2018mpnsrgr\u2019 is a very apt start for kapi .\nin the film manamagal , bharathiyar\u2019s \u2018chinnanchiru kiliye\u2019 ragamalika begins in kapi and is sung by m . l . vasanthakumari with tasteful sangatis ( music c . r . subburaman ) . the opening \u2018npgrsns\u2019 is very catchy , and very \u2018kapi\u2019 .\nthe film malayitta mangai had several super - hits , the crowning jewel being \u2018sentamizh thenmozhiyal\u2019 sung by t . r . mahalingam . this piece has got some of the most intricately vocalised sangatis in kapi . try keeping pace with the colossal sweep in \u2018kaatrinil pirandavalo . . . \u2019 , you will see what i mean . m . s . viswanathan \u2014ramamoorthy have surpassed themselves in this piece .\nk . v . mahadevan has composed two attractive pieces in the kapi -

instead , it looks straight ahead at a certain british working - class society of the 60s , treating its characters as human beings , and never as stereotypes . because of this , a strong feeling of truthfulness is created , allowing us more leniency towards the film , and its defining messages .\nif ' ' lunch hour , ' ' which is being seen here in its island debut , were being promoted as a piece of sensationalism , the blurbs could titillate into believing it ' s about ' ' wife swapping in the hamptons . ' ' a psychiatrist , who specializes in marriage counseling and is perceived by his wife as inert , repressed and uptight , analyzes relationships but remains at a distance from them . he finds out she is having an affair when her lover ' s wife - who has telephoned mysteriously and announced herself as ' ' mrs . amagansett ' ' - barges in and tells him so .\ni met him earlier this year and got along very well with him . he is in his forties now and works in television production and has , funnily enough , done some writing . he met the rest of my family over lunch and got along well with them , too . we all hope to see a lot more of him .\nat this point , the plot seems commonly overused . and , certain points in the film , particularly in script construction , seem lacking of real and deep emotional power . this , however , picks up dramatically , once a difficult social conflict is presented in the story , one that is a leaping point for the rest of the film . the two of them hold so much love and passion for each other , and , naturally , wish to express this . they each find themselves in positions of little privacy from the world , so decide to make a habit of meeting up during their lunch hour . however , friends , or members of the public , constantly interrupt them ; a feeling of childlike constraint is placed on them by society . they start to feel naughty , or that they are doing something wrong by showing affection in public . more than anything , the pair needs time to be alone . however , when they finally find that time , it proves not to be as pleasant or helpful as they first thought it would be .\n: they can ' t spell , they can ' t type , they make 15 pounds a week , which took me the best part of my life to rise up to , and what use are they ? will you please tell me that , number two ? they sit and read their horoscopes all day , they fill their desks with wet towels and flannels and toothpaste , they bung up the toilet with tea leaves , they burst into tears if you so much as mention the fact that they ' re half an hour late . what earthly use they are , i don ' t . . .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nsir john mortimer , the celebrated playwright and author , has discovered that he has an illegitimate son from a brief but passionate affair with wendy craig , the actress , more than 40 years ago .\nthe result of their liaison was a boy , ross . miss craig and her husband , who already had their own son , brought him up as their own .\nsir john , 81 , found out about the child only in the past year , when miss craig , now 70 , fearing that the story was about to become public , confirmed to him that the child was his .\nsir john spoke yesterday about his joy at the discovery in an exclusive interview with the telegraph . he has now met ross and intends to see him again .\ni am not ashamed about this and i don ' t think that my son , ross , is either ,\nhe said at his oxfordshire home yesterday .\nsir john ' s relationship with miss craig began in 1960 when she was appearing in one of his first plays , the wrong side of the park , at the cambridge theatre in london . both the playwright , then 37 , and the 26 - year - old craig were married to other people at the time .\nit was the sixties and we were all a lot more excitable then ,\nsaid the creator of rumpole of the bailey .\nwendy ended the relationship because her husband had found out about it and she hadn ' t actually felt comfortable about the situation we had got into for a while . she must have been pregnant when we broke up , but she hadn ' t told me . we didn ' t see each other after that except , maybe , later in life where we might have seen each other at public events .\nhe had married a writer , penelope fletcher , in 1949 and had a son and a daughter by her .\nlater , she became better known as the writer , penelope mortimer . miss craig had married john\njack\nbentley , a trombonist , scriptwriter and journalist , in 1955 .\nross was born in 1962 , four years after alaster , the son she had had by bentley , who now works as the principal oboist for the birmingham royal ballet sinfonia .\nsir john said :\ni never talked to jack , but i understand he made wendy swear on oath that she would never talk about who fathered ross , and that was how it was . my understanding is that wendy had not kept it a secret from our son , and told him about it when he was old enough to understand .\ni can see why wendy did what she did and i think it would be silly if i were to say now that i missed out on the chance of seeing him grow up or whatever . the fact is that i have other children and have not been deprived of the joys of fatherhood .\nhe said no formal dna test had been undertaken to establish paternity . he accepted that ross bentley was his son , and pointed out that he bore a striking resemblance to his actress daughter , emily mortimer .\nat her home in cookham dean , berkshire , yesterday , miss craig , declined to talk about sir john or her younger son , but did not deny that the story was true .\nit is just not something that i want to talk about ,\nshe said .\nand it ' s not something i will ever want to talk about .\njack bentley died of prostate cancer in 1994 . ross , who is believed to live in london , was on holiday yesterday and could not be contacted .\nboth the plays on which sir john and miss craig collaborated on dealt with marriages under pressure .\nmiss craig went on to become a household name , appearing in television series such as butterflies and the nanny . in 1972 , she won a mother of the year poll after starring as the scatter - brained mother with a captivating smile in the hugely popular comedy series , not in front of the children .\nhow can i be best mum ?\nshe said at the time , reluctant to accept the prize .\nif anyone deserves the award it ' s my mother , who looks after the boys while i ' m away .\nwhen she appeared at the kings theatre , edinburgh , in a 2002 production of somerset maugham ' s the circle , she said of her character , whose scandalous love affair was revealed years later :\nshe ' s a very passionate woman . she does things on the spur of the moment and , when you think about it , she did do something really rather dreadful , but the play makes it almost heroic that she abandoned everything for love . . . she was just crazy with love and did not think it through .\nross bentley co - wrote with jack bentley the short - lived 1980s bbc television comedy series laura and disorder , in which miss craig played a liberated woman returning to britain after 10 years in america .\nmiss craig became a committed christian in 1984 after undergoing a mid - life crisis precipitated by the death of her beloved dog , tallis .\none of the few occasions in more recent years when miss craig and sir john saw each other was at a requiem mass for their mutual friend , the this is your life presenter eamonn andrews , at westminster cathedral in 1987 , but sir john said yesterday that he did not recall talking to her on that occasion .\nafter he and penelope mortimer divorced in 1971 , he married penelope gollop the following year . they have two daughters , rosie , 20 , and the actress , emily , 32 .\nbut her personal favourite from this era is this little known self -

acting robert stephens in almost every scene they share . at first , her innocence and inexperience radiate from the screen . but , her character grows in strength as the film does , and by the end , field moves her character forward emotionally , hitting every note perfectly along the way . unfortunately , the same cannot be said of stephens . every now and then , a hint of overacting or overemphasized desperation is dropped , he does , at times , manage to keep a certain amount of warmth about his character . but , compared to field , he is simply outclassed .\nfor the most part , the film is , fairly conventionally made . however , smart technical tricks are used seamlessly as the film progresses . these include nicely constructed deep - focus shots , of particular note , a scene early in the film , at a park . the pair looks on curiously at a kissing couple in the background , little knowing that this situation perfectly projects the position they will later find themselves in . the film\u2019s creative use of deep - focus allows us to gain storytelling hints and clues , which , in turn , enhances audience experience .\nforeshadowing is also used to great effect during the film\u2019s opening sequence , much like hitchcock\u2019s strangers on a train , we are placed point of view , looking out over the front of a moving train . not only does this shot mean a great deal later in the film , the symbolization of train tracks crossing paths as they move , is much like the crossed - paths of our two main characters .\nagree with the themes and ideas discussed in this post ? please let us know here at a world of film . also , if you are interested in writing for us , send a message and an example of your writing to aworldoffilm @ urltoken\nthings were changing so much in society at the start of the 1960\u2019s , and this film makes a good effort of reflecting those social and moral changes . i have to agree that robert stephens is probably at his most comfortable on a stage in a theatre , playing shakespeare to the gallery . shirley anne field by contrast was a warm and winning young actress , who rarely gave a less than immaculate performance . best wishes from norfolk , pete .\ni\u2019d not heard of this film but your review has stirred me to look it up . i think shirley - anne field is often underrated and i can well believe that her performance overshadows that of stephens . i love robert stephens but he was often guilty of overacting !\nthanks an excellent introduction to what sounds like an intriguing film . always thought that saf was under rated . regards from thom at the immortal jukebox . i look forward to more discoveries ( and no doubt some disagreements ! )\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\nvh1 has rounded out the cast and tapped awkward showrunners chris alberghini and mike chessler as showrunners / executive producers of hourlong scripted drama series daytime divas ( formerly satan\u2019s sisters ) . it\u2019s based on the 2011 book satan\u2019s sisters by star jones , one of the original co -

( \u201cchigasaki story , \u201d interestingly , has quite a bit in common with \u201cau revoir l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 , \u201d another recent , and quite lovely , film sugino also produced and starred in , which also covers a vacation sojourn in picturesque surroundings . )\nitaru chigasaki ( everyones fave for some reason ? ? ) i love him he has such nice hair and a voice thats really suitable for his character .\nhowever , when sakura was 6 months old , she was kidnapped by kouji chigasaki . her real father , kei honjou , rushed to the ransom delivery +\nthis is chigasaki city of kanagawa prefecture , which became a sister city of honolulu since october , 2014 . honolulu and chigasaki have similar climate and cultures such as great nature , surfing and hula . we would like to deepen our relationship with honolulu city and pass down this great relationship to our future generations .\nthe film\u2019s production company , wa entertainment , has now made another rohmer - esque ensemble drama , \u201csan - paku yokka go - ji no kane\u201d ( \u201cchigasaki story\u201d ) , but as indicated in the japanese title \u2014 which translates roughly as \u201cthree nights , four days , five o\u2019clock bell\u201d ) \u2014 one more in tune with local realities .\nthe mayor hattori explained \u201cchigasaki city used to be an agricultural and fishing village where there were only a few residences . however , the temperament and the atmosphere of the city have been embraced to warmly welcoming the stranger , which is similar to honolulu . the director takuya misawa successfully depicted the attractiveness of chigasaki city\u201d .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nafter playing at major film festivals around the globe for the past 10 months , scooping up the best screenplay award in the future forward section of the beijing film festival , and earning accolades for being such a congenial homage to yasujiro ozu , chigasaki story finally arrived at fccj for a sneak preview ahead of its theatrical debut in tokyo over the weekend .\nwith an obvious respect for its lineage , \u201cchigasaki story\u201d may tilt into overly self - conscious territory , but it\u2019s refreshing to see a post - modern , self - referential film that is highly aware of film history . it is definitely of a piece , with a consistent approach throughout . though not entirely successful , but just the attempt itself is impressive . [ b - ]\nplease connect with chigasaki - shi government office nursery section ( 0467 - 82 - 1111 ) . tell the staff about attendance seat of full name , part 1 and part 2 .\nso there were some surprises in store during the q & a session after the screening , when first - time feature director takuya misawa was asked whether he\u2019d planned to pay homage to the classic master from the beginning . \u201cwe didn\u2019t actually set out to make a story about the chigasaki inn , \u201d he admitted . \u201cthat only came about later in the production process . the original script stipulated \u2018an inn\u2019 for the location , and it wasn\u2019t until we went location hunting and found the chigasaki inn , which luckily gave us the okay to shoot , that we made changes to the script so it was set there . \u201d\nfor the kids in the audience , a movie like this will work because it tells a fun story , contains a lot of humor , and is exciting to watch . older viewers may be even more absorbed , because\ntoy story ,\nthe first feature made entirely by computer , achieves a three - dimensional reality and freedom of movement that is liberating and new . the more you know about how the movie was made , the more you respect it .\ndirector takuya misawa is clearly a cinephile , and his directorial debut , \u201c chigasaki story , \u201d was a fine selection to follow the tribute to japanese cinema at the marrakech film festival , as the film\u2019s title is a direct reference to the legendary yasujiro ozu\u2019s \u201c tokyo story . \u201d there is even direct reference to the auteur , as the seaside resort where the film takes place is described as the location where ozu would hole up to do his writing . and because it takes place in a hotel , it\u2019s impossible to not draw comparison to renoir\u2019s \u201c la r\u00e8gle du jeu , \u201d and the associations don\u2019t stop at the location : the film is rife with make ups , break ups , miscommunications and misunderstandings among the denizens .\n\u201c chigasaki story \u201d strives to achieve a sort of arch , quirky tone , somewhere between wes anderson and woody allen , but it comes off as rather stiff and awkward ( for example , maki\u2019s drunken face - plant in the sand or tomoharu\u2019s stiff posture and tendency to sprint from place to place ) . elements like little dramas play out over ping pong games shot in unbroken lateral wide shots , and reactions performed in a hyper - stylized way lend to the stilted feel of the piece .\nanyways thats it to this blog and i do hope you get this game because the story and cg ' s are very neat . maybe one day there will be an anime for it like idolish7 : ' ) ( doubt it but hey theres always hope ! )\nas indicated by the film\u2019s japanese title , their holiday is typically brief . even so , much transpires in the course of their four - day break , which is marked with the daily 5 p . m . blaring of the folk song \u201caka tombo\u201d ( \u201cred dragonfly\u201d ) from a loudspeaker . but as the film\u2019s romantic roundelay unfolded , accompanied by comic bits and catchy old - time jazz , i began to think \u201cchigasaki story\u201d was channeling not only rohmer , but also woody allen in his lighter moods .\nthe film was directed by takuya misawa , who is a rookie film director that hopes to spread the words about chigasaki city in which he chose chigasakikan as his filming location . his love for the city is apparent throughout his work .\nchigasaki is one of honolulu\u2019s sister cities , where its stunning nature , hula and surf culture have a lot in common with honolulu . we would like to foster our friendship with honolulu , and engage in cultural exchange for future generations .\n\u201cchigasaki story\u201d also benefits greatly from its excellent cast , beginning with sugino , who wonderfully conveys how maki\u2019s initially stiff , uptight - seeming demeanor masks a deep passion and yearning awakened by an unexpected visitor from her past . koshino , as maki\u2019s coworker karin , also impresses as the sassy , flirtatious counterpart \u2013 and often antagonist \u2013 to maki . nakazaki and fukushima also beautifully play their quiet and shy characters , whose fraught yet largely unspoken relationship is but one of the wonderfully rendered narrative strands of this lovely film .\na japanese seaside resort at the end of august . a class of archaeology students lands in a youth hostel . the tall and shy tomoharu , a devoted seasonal worker , is put in charge of taking care of the group and guiding them to the local sites . if his classmate , the sweet ayako , has fallen for him and his diligent heart , his own heart seems to favour karin , a trendy and brazen woman who has come to the hostel with her colleague , the elegant maki , to celebrate a bachelorette party . filmed in the house where yasujiro ozu wrote tokyo story and late spring , chigasaki story weaves a delicate and colourful narrative filled with love games , the complex combinations of which allow the characters to be progressively revealed to themselves and to each other . ( mathieu macheret )\ndirector misawa , who also penned the excellent screenplay that subtly maps out the intricate web of relations between the characters , and which beautifully conveys the lives they lead beyond the span of the brief time period the film covers , has created far more than a slavish homage to ozu . \u201cchigasaki story\u201d possesses unique charms all its own , taking full advantage of the visual beauty of its resort setting \u2013 kudos to the evocative work by cinematographer shogo ueno \u2013 that forms a vibrant backdrop to the compelling comedy and drama on display .\nthat it does , though in contrast to the many local movies that regard women as passive objects of male desire , the sexual initiative in \u201cchigasaki story\u201d belongs almost solely to its female principals . and though its romantic conflicts initially unfold through significant glances and silent gestures , when emotions erupt , it\u2019s always a woman doing the dishing out . this , i think , is less a feminist statement than the simple truth of how the sexual game is often played here , especially when the quarry is a shy , inexperienced boy or a guy seemingly oblivious to everything but work .\nthe mayor hattori took a picture with the city\u2019s mascot called \u201ceboshimaro\u201d . the hat of the mascot representing the chinaman\u2019s hat in hawaii . also , there is a rock that is similar to the chinaman\u2019s hat called \u201ceboshi - iwa\u201d in chigasaki city which is another interesting coincidence .\nthe closest station to mokichi foods garden is jr chigasaki that is located on the tokaido line and also the sagami line , though that is a local country line through the countryside with one or two trains an hour . it\u2019s about a ten minute walk from the north exit .\nworkmates karin ( ena koshino ) and maki ( kiki sugino ) have come to the beach resort of chigasaki , kanagawa prefecture , to attend the wedding party of risa ( natsuko hori ) , a former colleague who is now helping run her family\u2019s 115 - year - old inn .\ntomoharu ( haya nakazaki ) works at a traditional japanese inn ( chigasaki ) . he works with karin ( ena koshino ) and maki ( kiki sugino ) . risa ( natsuko hori ) , the daughter of the inn ' s owner , is set to have a wedding in 3 days .\nset in the 115 - year - old chigasaki inn near shonan beach \u2014 the actual retreat where ozu wrote some of his greatest works , including \u201clate spring\u201d ( 1949 ) , \u201cearly summer\u201d ( 1951 ) and the masterpiece \u201ctokyo story\u201d ( 1953 ) \u2014 the story begins with the innkeeper , risa ( natsuko hori ) , who is hosting a group of archaeology students led by prof . kondo ( satoshi nikaido ) , and awaiting the arrival of her former airline colleagues karin ( ena koshino ) and maki ( a deliciously unpleasant sugino ) . they\u2019re coming to attend risa\u2019s wedding party , which is being held several weeks after the actual ceremony in hawaii ( another ozu touch : an offscreen wedding ) . risa\u2019s staff includes the shy student tomoharu ( haya nakazaki ) , who immediately attracts the attentions of the flirty , long - legged karin . tomoharu is also the object of fellow student ayako\u2019s ( juri fukushima ) secret affections , and he ping - pongs between the two women without noticing their increasing jealousy .\nthe next day , maki finally released her anger on karin , because of her continuous selfishness . however , running in to kondo ( satoshi nikaido ) , the professor leading the seminar lodging trip to chigasaki kan , blew off the irritation instantly . kondo was the teacher who maki liked during her school days .\nthis power of the past emerges as a major theme of \u201cchigasaki story . \u201d past events that have occurred offscreen very much inform the action that unfolds within the film\u2019s three - day time span , bracketed by the wedding of risa ( natsuko hori ) \u2013 the chigasaki inn owner\u2019s daughter \u2013 and the wedding party that awaits the arrival of risa\u2019s newlywed husband\u2019s return from hawaii , where the wedding took place . the past also figures prominently in the profession of archaeology , the practice of which we witness during the film . the other guests at the inn include a group of archaeology students on a field trip to chigasaki , where they are on an expedition to gather shards of earthenware , which they will attempt to mend together to reconstruct the pottery which constituted their original forms . three of the film\u2019s major characters are connected to archaeology : tomoharu , who is part of the archaeology class in addition to his duties as inn caretaker , as well as his classmate ayako ( juri fukushima ) , who silently admires him but can\u2019t quite bring herself to be fully open about her feelings for him . maki also studied archaeology in college , a fact that will figure in a major plot strand that emerges later in the film , during which she will attempt to reconstruct her past emotionally , just as the archaeology students try to reconstruct the physical objects that they\u2019ve excavated .\ntraditionally , the sister cities of honolulu were been selected upon historical ties to hawaii . despite of it , chigasaki city was chosen because it shares mutual cultural values , which we hope for the audience to see on the screen . the present mayor of honolulu also agreed and said that the shared cultures and values are the reason behind the signed agreement .\nseeing\ntoy story ,\ni felt some of the same exhilaration i felt during\nwho framed roger rabbit .\nboth movies take apart the universe of cinematic visuals , and put it back together again , allowing us to see in a new way .\ntoy story\nis not as inventive in its plotting or as clever in its wit as\nrabbit\nor such disney animated films as\nbeauty and the beast\n; it ' s pretty much a buddy movie transplanted to new terrain . its best pleasures are for the eyes . but what pleasures they are ! watching the film , i felt i was in at the dawn of a new era of movie animation , which draws on the best of cartoons and reality , creating a world somewhere in between , where space not only bends but snaps , crackles and pops .\nmokichi foods garden ( not to be confused with mokichi trattoria in kagawa , or mokichi craft beer in fujisawa - though if you did it wouldn\u2019t be the end of the world ) can be found in chigasaki , kanagawa - just one stop on the train if you\u2019re me , or 30 minutes from yokohama on the tokaido line if you\u2019re not me ( and most of you aren\u2019t ) .\nthe film\u2019s considerable debt to ozu in both its cinematic style and setting is made explicit in an early scene in which tomoharu ( haya nakazaki ) , a caretaker at an inn in the seaside town of chigasaki , where the film takes place , tells two of the inn\u2019s guests \u2013 co - workers maki ( kiki sugino ) and karin ( ena koshino ) \u2013 about the history of the inn . tomoharu tells them that they are staying in the same room where ozu wrote some of his classic films such as \u201ctokyo story\u201d ( which this film directly evokes with its english title ) . in fact , there are still marks on the ceiling left by the oil burner ozu used in the room . this detail symbolizes the fact that this inn and its surroundings exist in an environment where the past is very much tied to , and exerts great influence on , the present .\nmankai company haven ' t been paying the money they owe to the yakuza ( criminal organization - similar to a mafia ) which have payed for them when they didn ' t get any income . due to the company not being able to pay off the yakuza , they are being threaten to bulldoze the whole building . izumi tachibana the heroine of the whole story was received a letter and thought it had something to do with her father . she makes her way to the theater to help it out hoping to receive answers when becoming it ' s director .\nmisawa takuya is a young filmmaker ( 1987 ) who hasn\u2019t even yet graduated from the japan institute of the moving image , but his film breathes nostalgia for the history of cinema . in chigasaki story , so much colour has been bled from the image that the film could be remembered as black - and - white , even though it wasn\u2019t shot in black - and - white . the film has an extremely light touch and doesn\u2019t stick to a single predominant narrative line . during a weekend , students and lecturers come together for a wedding . this takes place in chigasakikan hotel , where the film master ozu yasujiro retired to write his screenplays . it\u2019s not that the director simply follows on from ozu ; he also seems to have taken a good look at playful french classics . repressed and occasionally open irritations and infatuations , old and new , flare up between the various characters in the hotel . kiki sugino , who was in the tiger awards jury at the festival last year , produced the film and plays a minor role as a teacher .\ntoy story\ncreates a universe out of a couple of kid ' s bedrooms , a gas station , and a stretch of suburban highway . its heroes are toys , which come to life when nobody is watching . its conflict is between an old - fashioned cowboy who has always been a little boy ' s favorite toy , and the new space ranger who may replace him . the villain is the mean kid next door who takes toys apart and puts them back together again in macabre combinations . and the result is a visionary roller - coaster ride of a movie .\nforma directed by the kumamoto born ayumi sakamoto , forma took 6 years to complete . screened at the national museum of singapore , the film tells the story of ayako who coincidentally bumps into her former classmate yukari and offers her a job . accepting ayako\u2019s offer , yukari finds herself reporting to her former classmate who soon makes her life utterly miserable . the film\u2019s skilfully constructed plotline is expertly weaved through the characters and their dialogue . packed with tension , ayumi sakamoto rewards the audience with an unforgettable movie and keeps us hanging on with her plot and unexpected surprise in the middle of the film .\nmokichi foods garden is a great , noisy , family - friendly ( and smoke - free ) place to go and have a load of lovely shonan beer and pizzas . it\u2019s not for the softly - spoken or people who want to be able to hear the yeast farting in the back room , but it is a fun dining and boozing experience in a unique building that is a curious mix of old showa style and postmodern hipstery portland aesthetic ( but without the irony or pretension ) . this place is a definite recommendation from beertengoku , and can be formed up voltron - style with gold\u2019n bub and beer cafe hopman for a chigasaki beer crawl .\nafter an audience member praised him for the film\u2019s dialogue , misawa admitted that he\u2019s always eavesdropping on conversations in family restaurants , since they\u2019re a good source of chit - chat , and he paid tribute to the improvisatory skills of his actors , hinting that several of the scenes were heavily ad libbed . as for the catchy score , he explained : \u201cthe music came about during post - production . i did try matching the visuals with classical music , but i ultimately chose to use jazz , which woody allen does . he uses ragtime , which arrived early in jazz history . it came on the scene around the time that the chigasaki inn started business , and i thought that was relevant , as well . \u201d\nyes , this almost turned into another joe gets lost story . almost , but not quite . why does this massive building have such poor access ? i\u2019ll tell you . mokichi foods garden is located in a former barley mill , which started operation before the second world war . as most buildings in japan either aren\u2019t built to last , or end up getting destroyed by natural disaster or the war , there are very few buildings standing that are more than fifty or sixty years old in this area . most of the area around the restaurant building has been alternatively concreted , car parked or apartmented . as a result , what once was probably a direct road from station to mill has been jigsawed into a jumble of backroads and houses . i also think the barley mill might be the oldest building in the area ( mokichi trattoria is similarly located in a 450 -
