Cape Fear (1991) (Available on Netflix) When one hears the name Martin Scorsese, movies such as Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Casino, Taxi Driver, and The Departed immediately come to mind. All original movies, brilliantly acted, and perfectly directed. I don’t think a remake of the 1962 film Cape Fear would make anyone’s lists. But it certainly makes mine. Robert DeNiro plays Max Cady, a convicted felon recently released from prison who is now seeking out the Lawyer (played by Nick Nolte) who buried evidence during his trial that could have acquitted him. Yes, it's safe to say that after 14 years in prison, Max is a little upset. While the subject matter of the 1962 film endured countless edits and required a number of scenes to be deleted for its theatrical release, it would appear that Scorsese’s retelling suffered no such scrutiny. DeNiro’s menacing and omnipresent portrayal of Cady is suspenseful, scary, and his intentions are clear. While some scenes may be hard to watch, DeNiro’s performance is without a doubt a memorable one. Enjoy! Fun Fact: Both lead actors of the 1962 original, Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck, have cameos. .

Robert De Niro's Raging Bull
003.TAIT_20.1_TAIT 11-05-12 9:17 AM Page 20 R. COLIN TAIT ROBERT DE NIRO’S RAGING BULL: THE HISTORY OF A PERFORMANCE AND A PERFORMANCE OF HISTORY Résumé: Cet article fait une utilisation des archives de Robert De Niro, récemment acquises par le Harry Ransom Center, pour fournir une analyse théorique et histo- rique de la contribution singulière de l’acteur au film Raging Bull (Martin Scorcese, 1980). En utilisant les notes considérables de De Niro, cet article désire montrer que le travail de cheminement du comédien s’est étendu de la pré à la postproduction, ce qui est particulièrement bien démontré par la contribution significative mais non mentionnée au générique, de l’acteur au scénario. La performance de De Niro brouille les frontières des classes de l’auteur, de la « star » et du travail de collabo- ration et permet de faire un portrait plus nuancé du travail de réalisation d’un film. Cet article dresse le catalogue du processus, durant près de six ans, entrepris par le comédien pour jouer le rôle du boxeur Jacke LaMotta : De la phase d’écriture du scénario à sa victoire aux Oscars, en passant par l’entrainement d’un an à la boxe et par la prise de soixante livres. Enfin, en se fondant sur des données concrètes qui sont restées jusqu’à maintenant inaccessibles, en raison de la modestie et du désir du comédien de conserver sa vie privée, cet article apporte une nouvelle perspective pour considérer la contribution importante de De Niro à l’histoire américaine du jeu d’acteur.

The Ethics of Preemptive Action
Danger: The Ethics of Preemptive Action Larry Alexander* & Kimberly Kessler Ferzan"* The law has developed principlesfor dealing with morally and legally responsible actors who act in ways that endanger others, the principles governing crime and punishment. And it has developed principles for dealing with the morally and legally nonresponsible but dangerous actors, the principles governing civil commitments. It has failed, however, to develop a cogent andjustifiable set ofprinciples for dealing with responsible actors who have not yet acted in ways that endanger, others but who are likely to do so in the future, those whom we label "responsible but dangerous" actors (RBDs). Indeed, as we argue, the criminal law has sought to punish RBDs through its expansive use of inchoate criminality; however, current criminalization and punishment practicespunish those who have yet to perform a culpable act. In this article, we attempt to establish defensible grounds for preventive restrictions of liberty (PRLs) of RBDs in lieu of contorting the criminal law. Specifically, we argue that just as a culpable aggressor becomes liable to defensive force, an RBD can become liable to PRLs more generally. Although there are many examples ofPRLs of RBDs currently in operation, the principles, if any, thatjustify and limit such PRLs have yet to be satisfactorilyestablished. In the movie Cape Fear, Sam Bowden, a lawyer in New Essex, North Carolina, is menaced by a recently released convict, Max Cady, whom Bowden had, in Cady's view, inadequately defended against a charge of a violent sexual crime.' In the first movie version, Bowden was played by Gregory Peck and Cady by Robert Mitchum; in the remake, Bowden was played by Nick Nolte and Cady by Robert DeNiro-with Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum now making cameo appearances respectively as a lawyer and police officer.

Bernard Herrmann's Score for Cape Fear
Bernard Herrmann’s Score for Cape Fear and its Continued Relevance for Young Film Composers A Master’s Thesis in Scoring for Film, Television and Video Games Aaron Ramsey Berklee College of Music Class of 2014 2 Thesis Goal Bernard Herrmann was an innovator in writing music to picture as an emotional narrative. He employed many techniques, in common usage today, that were not being used by the film composers of his day. His music was ahead of its time and is still relevant to the art and evolution of film music. My goal is to show what today’s young film composer can learn from this master composer’s approach to the score of Cape Fear. About the Film Cape Fear was released on April 12, 1962 and directed by J. Lee Thompson. This film is based on a novel called The Executioners written by John D. MacDonald. The story is about an attorney named Sam Bowden (Gregory Peck) whose family is stalked and terrorized by a criminal named Max Cady (Robert Mitchum) who was just released from jail. Cady holds Bowden personally responsible for his conviction of eight years after witnessing Cady in a crime of violence and testifying against him in court. 3 Bernard Herrmann’s Film Scoring Innovations A staple of Herrmann’s style of composition was his use of unorthodox ensembles. “He frequently used unusual instruments or unique combinations of instruments, sometimes adding to or eliminating whole orchestra sections, and was among the first film composers to 1 utilize electronic instruments”. Herrmann used a very unconventional ensemble to perform this score of Cape Fear.

SHERWIN* "[T]he truth tragedy tells is that we cannot protect ourselves, neither through the wisdom of self-control nor through the magic of wish. There is no defense against the self in its fate."' "[T]he outbreak of "real" violence is conditioned by a symbolic dead- lock. Real violence is a kind of acting out that emerges when the sym- '2 bolic fiction that guarantees the life of a community is in danger." "And o, steering spirits of law, goddesses of destiny .... 3 THREE DECADES is a long time in the history of modem film. Stories change, as does the storytelling process itself. These changes can tell us a good deal about the society we live in and who we are as a people. Popu- lar films often yield profound insight into the dominant social conflicts of the time and the changing beliefs and expectations that inform mainstream culture. This is certainly the case with respect to film depictions of law, lawyers, and the shifting currents of social justice.

Film Noir •Or As We Prefer to Call It Around Here… •Murder …
Welcome to… • FILM NOIR •OR AS WE PREFER TO CALL IT AROUND HERE… •MURDER ….. •MAYHEM…. •and… ADULTERY! Thi Today’s Movie… In 2007, Newsweek selected Cady (Robert Mitchum’s character in Cape Fear) as one of the 10 best villains in cinema history. From Hard Boiled: Great Lines from Classic Noir Films: • “Why are we going this way?” • “Better scenery.” • “What do you know about scenery? Or beauty? Or any of the things that really make life worth living? You’re just an animal --- coarse, muscled, barbaric.” • “You keep right on talking, honey. I like the way you run me down like that.” •“What I like about you is you’re rock bottom. I wouldn’t expect you to understand this, but it’s a great comfort for a girl to know she could not possibly sink any lower.” From The Devil Thumbs a Ride and Other Unforgettable Films: • Mitchum is a giant of evil in this movie; a slithery, completely corrupt, malevolent force. Along with his role as the crazed preacher in The Night of the Hunter, this is arguably his finest performance. The supporting cast complements Mitchum admirably, but if anyone ever had any doubts about his ability to act, this film dispelled them. •…this is Mitchum’s meat. He’s the angel of death-with-pain, put on earth to give men pause. •Mitchum is The Other and there’s no ignoring him. •You won’t forget this movie… From Film Noir: The Dark Side of the Screen: • …Mitchum is both crafty and menacing. Even at his meanest, he has glint in his eye, and his threats are laced with a droll humor… • Mitchum works nonchalantly, with a seeming minimum of effort and an absence of any visible technique.
