Titolo: Osservatorio sulla TV (29/6/2006) IL CAST DI "GREY'S ANATOMY" A MILANO PER BENEFICENZA

Giro questa mail che mi arriva dall'Accademia dei Telefilm, certo che 
un'iniziativa del genere meriti di essere divulgata.
Mi scuso per l'html di cui qualcuno non visualizzerà le immagini.

I TELEFILM FANNO BENE
A Milano giovedì 6 luglio si celebra
il matrimonio tra serial e impegno sociale
Gli attori del telefilm-cult di Italia 1
"Grey's Anatomy",
la serie che in USA ha superato "Desperate Housewives",
approdano in Italia per raccogliere fondi per la
 Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori.
I telefilm fanno bene.
Sono ormai usciti da anni dal teleschermo per essere rappresentazione 
quotidiana della cultura pop alla Andy Warhol. Sono diventati recentemente 
vere e proprie sedute di psicanalisi, in cui il telespettatore compie una 
sorta di transfert con i protagonisti. Settima arte bis. Specchio della 
società che cambia, fonti di mode e costumi, fucina di nuovi talenti, 
oggetti di culto e ritratti generazionali.
Nessun genere televisivo come i telefilm vanta un impatto sociale così 
profondo e così in ascesa nei gusti di un pubblico che non si accontenta più 
della televisione prevedibile, ma preferisce quella "interattiva" in cui il 
telespettatore è chiamato a crearselo lui il finale che vorrebbe, senza più 
happy end sotto i piedi.
Ora i telefilm escono dal teleschermo e scendono in campo per fare del bene. 
Concretamente.
Giovedì 6 luglio si celebra in Italia una sorta di tappa storica per il 
matrimonio tra le serie tv e l'impegno sociale.
Gli attori del telefilm-cult medico di Italia 1 "Grey's Anatomy", che in 
America ha superato in ascolti addirittura "Desperate Housewives", approdano 
a Milano per raccogliere fondi a favore della Lega Italiana per la Lotta 
contro i Tumori.
Dopo una conferenza mattutina presso l'Aula di Anatomia del Dipartimento di 
Morfologia Umana dell'Università degli Studi di Milano, il cast della serie 
che è risultata la rivelazione americana della stagione tv 2005/2006 a 
"stelle e strisce" - seconda in America solo a "C.S.I." - parteciperà alla 
proiezione per il pubblico, alle ore 20.00, di due puntate inedite del 
secondo ciclo all'Apollo SpazioCinema di Milano (Galleria De Cristoforis, 
3).
L'intero incasso della serata, organizzata di concerto da Italia 1, 
Accademia dei Telefilm e Buena Vista, sarà devoluto alla Lega Italiana per 
la Lotta contro i Tumori, la quale opera senza fini di lucro e ha come 
compito istituzionale primario la prevenzione oncologica.
Saranno presenti all'evento gli attori: Ellen Pompeo (interprete nel 
telefilm della dottoressa Meredith Grey), T.R. Knight (George), Chandra 
Wilson (la dottoressa Miranda Bailey), Kate Walsh (la dottoressa Addison 
Shepherd), Justin Chambers (il dottor Alex Karev), James Pickens Jr. (il 
dottor Ricahrd Webber).
Tra tutti spicca Ellen Pompeo e il personaggio a cui dà vita - la combattuta 
dottoressa Meredith Grey - attualmente ai massimi livelli popolari negli 
Stati Uniti: mentre l'attrice ha conquistato con il suo fascino le copertine 
di moltissimi periodioci, la protagonista da lei interpretata ha conosciuto 
un'affezione da parte del pubblico in costante ascesa. Ha scritto la bibbia 
televisiva "Entertainment Weekly" a proposito della dottoressa Grey: "Era 
dai tempi di Ally McBeal che non c'era un ritratto femminile così combattuto 
e così ricco di mordente, in cui le donne si identificano e che fa sognare 
di vivere le sue stesse avventure o disavventure".
