  • Film I-Spring 2020 Plague Work Unit: New Hollywood Just Like We Did
    Film I-Spring 2020 Plague Work Unit: New Hollywood Just like we did with the French New Wave, we’re going to try to take a look at one more film movement this year: the New Hollywood movement. 1. What is New Hollywood? Watch the following mini documentary online explaining the direct line from Italian Neorealism to the French New Wave to New Hollywood to modern independent cinema: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opQC45irmN8 2. Watching a New Hollywood film Watch the film The Graduate from 1967 directed by Mike Nichols. It can be watched or downloaded at: https://stlps- my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/jchamber4910_slps_org/EWjwYfyTA8xBkOkD_n2OGBcBI 9ifHOVw2AM0GT2T4N6qTQ?e=5IysPU 3. Writing comparatively You have two options! Do either one of the following two: Option 1: Choose any other American film made since 1967 that you can use to do a comparative study with The Graduate. This might be a film that shares themes with The Graduate or shows similar stylistic choices or one that you can analyze through a similar lens. Use that main area that they share to analyze the two films in comparison with each other. The final product should be two pages typed and should be uploaded to TurnItIn by Friday, May 15th. or Option 2: Watch Bonnie and Clyde from 1967 directed by Arthur Penn. The Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde were made at roughly the same time. Analyze them both in comparison with each other, both in terms of style and filmmaking choices and in terms of historical/sociocultural context and how they reflect the United States in the late 1960s.

  • CICLO DE CINE La Voz De Constantino Romero II El Golpe George Roy Hill (1973) 2 De Agosto De 2013, 17.30 H
    CICLO DE CINE La voz de Constantino Romero II El golpe George Roy Hill (1973) 2 de agosto de 2013, 17.30 h Título original: The Sting. Dirección: George Roy Hill. Productores: Tony Bill, Julia Phillips, Michael Phillips. Productores ejecutivos: David Brown, Richard D. Zanuck. Productor asociado: Robert Crawford Jr. Producción: Zanuck/Brown Productions, Universal Pictures. Guion: David S. Ward. Fotografía: Robert Surtees. Música: Scott Joplin, adaptado por Marvin Hamslisch. Montaje: William Reynolds. Dirección artística: Henry Bumstead. Intérpretes: Paul Newman (Henry Gondorff), Robert Redford (Johnny Hooker), Robert Shaw (Doyle Lonnegan), Charles Durning (teniente William Snyder), Ray Walston (J. J. Singleton), Eileen Brennan (Billie), Harold Gould (Kid Twist), John Heffernan (Eddie Niles), Dana Elcar (agente del F.B.I. Polk), Jack Kehoe, Dimitra Arliss, Robert Earl Jones, James Sloyan, Charles Dierkop, Lee Paul, Sally Kirkland, Avon Long, Arch Johnson, Ed Bakey, Brad Sullivan... Nacionalidad y año: Estados Unidos 1973. Duración y datos técnicos: 129 min. Color 1.85:1. Posiblemente El golpe sea una de las películas más populares de los setenta, y mucha gente la valore como una de las más ingeniosas, debido al siempre atractivo tema de los “pillos simpáticos” y la de los intrincados juegos de azar plagados de inventiva. Este mérito corresponde, desde luego, al guionista, David S. Ward, en ésta su segunda película, tras la muy poco conocida Material americano (Steelhard Blues, 1973), de Alan Myerson. No puede decirse, en todo caso, que tras El golpe (por el cual ganó un Oscar, y fue candidato a los premios Edgar Allan Poe, los Globo de Oro y la Writers Guild of America), tuviera una carrera demasiado lucida: su siguiente guion apareció en 1982, con Destinos sin rumbo (Cannery Row, 1982), su debut en la dirección, seguida de la secuela El golpe II (The Sting II, 1983), de un director que merece más crédito del que se le suele dar, Jeremy Kagan.

    Chapter 1 Entertainment for the Whole Family! You have to wonder if Michael McCambridge ever got to watch a hockey game before he ended up with somebody’s, well, you know. His mother, Charlestown Chiefs owner Anita McCambridge, wasn’t above violence in hockey as long as she could make a profi t from it, but she’d be damned if she would ever allow her children to watch the sport. Kids are impressionable, you see. They might stick up a bank. Heroin. You name it. ImagineCOPYRIGHTED Anita’s horror at learning MATERIALthat the members of her former hockey team, the scourge of the Federal League, over time had evolved but not necessarily changed; they’re still the face of goon hockey at its peak. But, strangely, they’ve also become the epitome of family-friendly entertainment. The Hanson Brothers were initially shunned and mocked by their disapproving teammates.

Today, however, they are idolized by millions of fans around the world, from 82-year-old legend Gordie Howe to children whose parents weren’t even born when the Hansons stepped onto the War Memorial ice to com- mence what fans have dubbed “the greatest shift in hockey history.” Go ahead, Google it. You’ll see. It’s diffi cult to explain the transformation of the Hansons from “retards” and “criminals” to icons who still tour North American arenas every year, dispensing their special brand of tough, in-your-face hockey, without having changed a whole lot about their style.

FG: I suppose through [act]ing at school, but in terms of any serious theatre going I suppose it goes back to the late 1940’s... interestingly enough, when I re-looked at the [programmes] that I have got, the first play that I saw [in] the West End was most unusual for the late 1940’s, it was a play called Anna Lucasta,an American play; what was unusual for the 1940s was that it was an all black cast. CB: Really… FG: And it was about a prostitute and my parents took me [laughs] and I think they must have been slightly worried because I was fourteen at the time and it was one of my first experiences. But that was not typical of the first sort of phase of my theatre-going between that moment in 1949 and about 1951 I suppose and [after where] something dramatic begins to happen, I think.

Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic. Indeed over the intervening quarter century, quite to the contrary, we witnessed a continuously increasing outpouring of specialized political science, historical, philosophical, psychological, and other disciplinary studies with clearly ―no school of leadership‖with a single unifying theory emerging.
