Dangerous Minds is a movie about Lou Anne Johnson, a first year English teacher. On her first day of school, she finds her students to be apathetic, disengaged, and tough. She soon realizes she has to take on a tougher image to get their respect and attention. She does so by revealing she was an ex-Marine. Yet, she also shows her “soft side.” Ms. Johnson gets her students “hooked” with poetry by using Bob Dylan’s song “Mr. Tambourine Man” and leads them to study Dylan Thomas’ “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.” Copyright © Notice: The materials are copyrighted © and trademarked ™ as the property of The Curriculum Center for Family and Consumer Sciences, Texas Tech University. Dead Poet’s Society takes place in a preparatory school for boys. John Keating (played by Robin Williams) is a rather quirky English teacher who provides his students with a new outlook on life. He encourages his students to appreciate what literature and poetry offer. The title of the movie is from a literary club Mr. Keating was a member of when he was a student at the same prep school. The movie line “Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.” fits the film perfectly.

Originalsprache: Englisch FSK 0 Premiere: September 2010, Toronto International Film Festival Buch und Regie: Emilio Estevez Kamera: Juan Miguel Azpiroz Schnitt: Raúl Dávalos Musik: Tyler Bates Produktion: David Alexanian Emilio Estevez; Julio Fernández Lisa Niedenthal Darsteller: Tom Avery Martin Sheen Joost Yorick van Wageningen Sarah Deborah Kara Unger Jack James Nesbitt Daniel Avery Emilio Estevez Doreen Renée Estevez Capitano Henri Tchéky Karyo Angelica Ángela Molina Jean Carlos Leal Don Santiago Simón Andreu El Ramón Eusebio Lázaro Ishmael Antonio Gil Phil Spencer Garrett Auszeichnung der Deutschen Film- und Medienbewertung (FBW): Prädikat besonders wertvoll Aus der Jurybegründung: Es ist eine sehr spannende und gleichzeitig berührende Geschichte, dieses Roadmovie der besonderen Art, welches zugleich eine Fülle tragischer wie auch humorvoller Begebenheiten aufweisen kann. Hervorragend ist die Besetzung der vier Hauptprotagonisten und perfekt ihr Spiel, vor allem Martin Sheen in der Rolle Toms. Glaubhaft ist daher auch ihre Entwicklung während der Reise. Das intelligente Drehbuch, basierend auf den persönlichen Erlebnissen von Martin Sheen und seinem Enkel auf ihrer Pilgerreise, schrieb inhaltsreiche Dialoge vor. Die gute Kamera mit eindrucksvollen Bildern und eine stimmige musikalische Begleitung bei den langen Wanderpassagen sind weitere handwerkliche Merkmale, welche besonders positiv hervorzuheben sind. Einzelne Kritikpunkte, wie etwa die religiöse Dimension des Films, regten die Diskussion rund um den Film noch mehr an. Die Mehrheit der Jury zeigte sich jedoch begeistert von dem Film und gestand aus Überzeugung das höchste Prädikat zu.

  • Transcript Sidney Lumet
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH SIDNEY LUMET Sidney Lumet’s critically acclaimed 2007 film Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, a dark family comedy and crime drama, was the latest triumph in a remarkable career as a film director that began 50 years earlier with 12 Angry Men and includes such classics as Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, and Network. This tribute evening included remarks by the three stars of Before the Devil Knows Your Dead, Ethan Hawke, Marissa Tomei, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and a lively conversation with Lumet about his many collaborations with great actors and his approach to filmmaking. A Pinewood Dialogue with Sidney Lumet shooting, “I feel that there’s another film crew on moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz the other side of town with the same script and a (October 25, 2007): different cast, and we’re trying to beat them.” (Laughter) “You know, trying to wrap the movie DAVID SCHWARTZ: (Applause) Thank you, and ahead of them. It’s like a race.” I remember welcome, everybody. Sidney Lumet, as I think all saying that “you know if this movie works, then of you know, has received a number of salutes I’m going to have to rethink my whole idea of and awards over the years that could be process, because I can not imagine that this will considered lifetime achievement awards—which work!” (Laughter) I’ve never seen such a might sometimes imply that they’re at the end of deliberate—I’m going to steal your words, Phil, their career. But that’s certainly far from the case, but—a focus of energy, and use of energy.

  • Commercial Films/Video Tapes on Teaching
    Commercial Films/Video Tapes On Teaching Prepared by Gary D Fenstermacher Three categories of film or video are included here, depending on whether teaching occurs in the setting of a school (Category I), in a tutorial relationship between teacher and student (Category II), or simply as a plot device in a comedy about or parody of teaching and schooling (Category III). Films described in Category I are listed alphabetically, within decade headings; it is the year the film was made, not the time period it depicts, that determines the decade in which the film is classified. Category I: Depicting Teachers in School Settings 1930's Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939). Robert Donat, Greer Garson. British schoolmaster devoted to "his boys." Remade as musical in 1969, starring Peter O'Toole; remake received poor reviews. If you select this film, please do not use the remade version; use the original, 1939, film. It is a first-rate film. 1940's The Corn is Green (1945). Bette Davis, Nigel Bruce. Devoted teacher copes with prize pupil in Welsh mining town in 1895. (1 hr 35 min) Highly regarded remake in 1979 stars Katherine Hepburn in her last teaming with director George Cukor. OK to use either version (1945 or 1979). 1950's Blackboard Jungle (1955). Glenn Ford, Anne Francis. Teacher's difficult adjustment to New York City schools. First commercial film to feature rock music. 1960's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969). Maggie Smith. Eccentric teacher in British girls school. Smith wins Oscar for her performance. Remade as TV miniseries. To Sir With Love (1967, British).

  • A Hands-On Tour Inside the World of PROC SQL® Kirk Paul Lafler, Software Intelligence Corporation, Spring Valley, California
    NESUG 2007 Hands-On Workshops A Hands-on Tour Inside the World of PROC SQL® Kirk Paul Lafler, Software Intelligence Corporation, Spring Valley, California Abstract Structured Query Language (PROC SQL) is a database language found in the base-SAS software. It enables access to data stored in SAS® data sets or tables using a powerful assortment of statements, clauses, options, functions, and other language features. This hands -on workshop presents core concepts of this powerful language as well as its many applications, and is intended for SAS users who desire an overview of the capabilities of this exciting procedure. Attendees will explore the construction of SQL queries, ordering and grouping data, the application of case logic for data reclassification, the creation and use of views, and the construction of simple inner and outer joins. Introduction The SQL procedure is a wonderful tool for querying and subsetting data; restructuring or regrouping data by specifying case expressions ; constructing and using virtual tables known as views; joining two or more tables (up to 32) to explore data relationships . Occasionally, a problem comes along where the SQL procedure is either better suited or easier to use than other more conventional DATA and/or PROC step methods. As each situation presents itself, PROC SQL should be examined to see if its use is warranted for the task at hand. Many SAS users prefer the power and coding simplicity of the SQL procedure in perform ing data analysis and routine everyday tasks rather than using other DATA or PROC step approaches and methods . Whatever the nature of the requirements or SQL usage, this paper is intended to present an overview of some of the most exciting features found in PROC SQL.
