Video Catalogue Eric Roberts October 28, 2004
Video Catalogue Eric Roberts October 28, 2004 AN ACT OF CONSCIENCE, Robbie Leppzer,1997, 1:30. This film follows the history of Randy Kehler and Betsy Corner,two tax resisters from Colrain, Massachusetts. After years of refusing to pay war taxes, the Federal Government seized their home and sold it to pay the arrears. The film chronicles the campaign of nonviolent resistance to save their home but also explores the class and political conflicts that arise between the resisters and the family that buys the home. THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA: QUEEN OF THE DESERT, Stephen Elliot, 1994, 1:42. The story line of the film involves a group of three drag performers from the Sydneygay nighclubs who drive their lavender bus, Priscilla, across the desert to perform in Alice Springs. The fun comes from the energy that the trio and supporting cast bring to the adventure, which ends up being a wonderfully funnyand life-affirming tale. AGAINST THE CURRENT,Dmitri Delov, The Glasnost Film Festival, 1988, 0:27. ‘‘This is a film about ecological crime. Despite being labeled extremists, the residents of Kirishi protest a major syn- thetic protein plant. ‘Wecouldn’tbreathe, we coughed, we buried our children . .. but we couldn’tput up with it anymore,’ayoung woman shouts indignantly at a rally.’’[from the film notes] ALICE’S RESTAURANT,Arthur Penn, 1969, 1:51. At one level, this is the story told by Arlo Guthrie’ssong, with the half-a-ton of garbage, the twenty-seven8x10 col- ored glossy photographs, and the draft induction center where you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected, and selected.

Flanagan 2015 iii THE BRITISH WAR FILM, 1939-1980: CULTURE, HISTORY, AND GENRE Kevin M. Flanagan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2015 This dissertation argues that discussions of war representation that privilege the nationalistic, heroic, and redemptively sacrificial strand of storytelling that dominate popular memory in Britain ignore a whole counter-history of movies that view war as an occasion to critique through devices like humor, irony, and existential alienation. Instead of selling audiences on what Graham Dawson has called “the pleasure culture of war” (a nationally self-serving mode of talking about and profiting from war memory), many texts about war are motivated by other intellectual and ideological factors. Each chapter includes historical context and periodizing arguments about different moments in British cultural history, explores genre trends, and ends with a comparative analysis of representative examples.

Film Depictions of Judas
Journal of Religion & Film Volume 5 Issue 2 October 2001 Article 5 October 2001 Film Depictions of Judas Kim Paffenroth Villanova University, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Paffenroth, Kim (2001) "Film Depictions of Judas," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 5 : Iss. 2 , Article 5.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Film Depictions of Judas Abstract This article analyzes the depiction of Judas in the seven best-known Jesus films. erhapsP surprisingly, all the depictions are positive, on the one hand breaking with centuries of traditions that depicted Judas as the basest of villains, but on the other, following a persistent minority tradition that portrayed him sympathetically. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol5/iss2/5 Paffenroth: Film Depictions of Judas The enigma of Judas has been elaborated throughout Christian history. Even in the canonical texts themselves, the development in his character is noticeable. In Mark, probably the earliest Gospel, Judas and his motives remain utterly mysterious: the amount of money paid to him is not specified, nor is the delivery of it even mentioned, and what happens to him after Jesus' arrest is left unsaid. Luke and John make him much less ambiguous, crafting him into a greedy, thieving villain who then becomes an instrument of Satan.

Assignment for Tuesday 3/31: Assignment for Wednesday 4/1
Hi everybody, For the next few weeks, I am going to have you guys watch a Hollywood movie from 1963 called The Great Escape. It is based on real events during World War II about a group of allied prisoners of war in a German prison of war camp called Stalag Luft 3. The goal of the filmmakers was to honor the real men while also making an entertaining and financially successful film. They used the book The Great Escape by Paul Brickhill, one of the real POWs, and had Wally Floody, also one of the real POWs, as a technical advisor, so some aspects of the film are 100% true while others have been enhanced, especially in terms of character. (There are several composite characters in the film – meaning most individual characters in the film are based on several real people.) I found the film broken into 18 parts on Youtube (all less than 10 minutes) and will provide you with the link to watch each day and a question to respond to. I am not going to assign all 18 parts, but I encourage you to watch all of them (I may make some parts extra credit). It is a classic film starring some of the classic film stars of the 60s and 70s, most notably Steve McQueen. You may also recognize Ducky from NCIS (David McCallum), the older Noah from The Notebook (James Garner) or even the old professor from the first set of Jurassic Park movies in the 90s (Richard Attenborough). We would have been doing a version of this if school were in, and it is a fascinating real story.
