  • “Benevolent Supremacy”: Biblical Epic Films, Suez, and the Cultural Politics of U.S
    “Benevolent Supremacy”: Biblical Epic Films, Suez, and the Cultural Politics of U.S. P ower Melani McAlister When The Ten Commandments opened in 1956, the critical consensus was that DeMille had created a middle-brow, melo- dramatic, and highly suspect account of the biblical story of Moses. Newsweek described the film as forced and “heavy- handed,” while the re v i ewer for Ti m e called The Te n Commandments – speaking in the epic terms of the film itself — “perhaps the most vulgar movie ever made.”1 Despite the critical consensus against it, however, DeMille’s version of the exodus story was a remarkable box-office success. It would become the best known and most popular of the cycle of reli- gious epics that swept the United States in the 1950s. For six of the twelve years from 1950 to 1962, a religious historical epic was the year’s number-one box office moneymaker.2 The Ten Commandments and other films like it–Ben Hur, The Robe, Quo Vadis–were offered up as pious activity. Ads for The Ten Commandments carried endorsements from a Baptist minister, a Rabbi, and the Cardinal of New York. And at luncheon in Manhattan just after the opening, DeMille told the guests: “I came here and ask you to use this picture, as I hope and pray that God himself will use it, for the good of the world...”3 But the Jewish and/or Christian plots of these films were narrated in a distinctly contemporary dialect, as tales in Melani McAlister, Assistant Professor Department of American Studies, George Washington University,Washington, D.C., USA 194 Benevolent Supremacy which moral virtue barely triumphed over elaborately staged sexual temptation.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • The Shoah on Screen – Representing Crimes Against Humanity Big Screen, Film-Makers Generally Have to Address the Key Question of Realism
    Mémoi In attempting to portray the Holocaust and crimes against humanity on the The Shoah on screen – representing crimes against humanity big screen, film-makers generally have to address the key question of realism. This is both an ethical and an artistic issue. The full range of approaches has emember been adopted, covering documentaries and fiction, historical reconstructions such as Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, depicting reality in all its details, and more symbolic films such as Roberto Benigni’s Life is beautiful. Some films have been very controversial, and it is important to understand why. Is cinema the best way of informing the younger generations about what moire took place, or should this perhaps be left, for example, to CD-Roms, videos Memoi or archive collections? What is the difference between these and the cinema as an art form? Is it possible to inform and appeal to the emotions without being explicit? Is emotion itself, though often very intense, not ambivalent? These are the questions addressed by this book which sets out to show that the cinema, a major art form today, cannot merely depict the horrors of concentration camps but must also nurture greater sensitivity among increas- Mémoire ingly younger audiences, inured by the many images of violence conveyed in the media. ireRemem moireRem The Shoah on screen – www.coe.int Representing crimes The Council of Europe has 47 member states, covering virtually the entire continent of Europe.

Rainer Maria Rilke, To Music (transl. S. Horton) When Georges, one of the characters in Michael Haneke’s Amour, makes attempts to catch a pigeon – a street intruder in a model-decorated bourgeois apartment – the viewer is left alone for a good few minutes with a flapping bird and a panting old man. Zygmunt Kałużyński (1998: 97), evoking the pioneer years of the sound film almost one hundred years earlier, wrote in his essay: ‘Pigeons would sit on the glass roof of the atelier, interrupting dialogues with their cooing: special officers were on duty to chase the birds away with sticks’. The association of these two points in the history of cinema – situated on the two poles of the sound film – allows us to see Haneke not only as a specialist in ‘audience-shocking’ stories or a go-to moralist, but as an artist organically connected with the development of cinema and its means of expression. Sound is one of those means, whose special variation is music, which is worth paying special attention in the case of Michael Haneke’s films. 1 The article is a reviewed and abbreviated version of an MA thesis written under the supervision of Professor Katarzyna Taras and defended at the Faculty of Humanities of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw.

A CULTURAL TOUR OF THE LEGAL LANDSCAPE: REFLECTIONS ON CARDINAL GEORGE'S LA WAND CULTURE Charles E. Ricet Law and culture, as the late Notre Dame Law Professor Edward F. Barrett put it, are exercises in "Ultimatology."' Each involves the search for an ultimate truth. In his recent address, Cardinal George similarly emphasizes truth, noting that "People make cultures... according to what they believe is true."' On the law side, the natural law approach differs from the various forms of legal positivism on the question of whether there is a knowable truth, a standard of right and wrong to which the human law is subject. If "[jiustice is an irrational ideal,"3 then any duly enacted law is valid, regardless of its content, even if it sends Jews and others to the gas chambers.4 It all depends on the ultimate question of knowable Truth.
