Abstract The British filmmaker Ridley Scott is a creator of universes. Through The Duellists (1977) and Blade Runner (1982), in this paper we study scenarios where the confrontation between intimate enemies develops. Keywords: Ridley Scott, historical fil ms, scenes, intimate enemies, aestheticism, art history, romance, postmodernism, futuristic black cinema, Napoleonic campaigns, identity and memory. l. UN DIRECTOR "A diario utilizo todo lo que aprendí en la escue- la de arte. Todas las posibilidades que te ofrecen las hojas de papel en blanco, los rotuladores y el saber di- bujar"552. (Ridley Scott). Una estética cuidada hasta el último detalle y numerosas referencias a la historia del arte, en general, y del cine, en particular constituyen una reconocible constante en el cine del director británico Ridley Scott. Lo cual resulta lógico si se tienen en cuenta sus comienzos. Nacido el 30 de Noviembre de 1937 en Stockton- on-Tees, Durham, Inglaterra, realizó sus estudios superiores en el West Hartlepool College of Art, donde se hizo patente su talento par·a el diseño gráfico y la pintura, hasta tal punto que le valieron la concesión de una beca que le permitió consolidar su formación en Estados Unidos y, posteriormente, ser contratado como diseñador de producción y, tan solo un año después, como director en la BBC.

  • Keith Carradine Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Keith Carradine Regis Dialogue with Phil Anderson, 1991 Phil Anderson: Well anyway, thanks for coming yourself. I want to start, I have a small question and I have a big question. Small question is simple. How did you get involved with the Material Girl video directed by Mary Lambert? Keith Carradine: They called me up. Phil Anderson: Why do you think they asked you? What do you think they needed from you? Keith Carradine: I don't know. I was requested by her ladyship and Mary Lambert, the director. Apparently I was their first choice to play the part, this Howard Hughes-esque character who was supposed to be this mysterious wealthy owner of the studio for which she is one of their stars. There was something about what I had done, I guess, that they saw, that they thought was right for this. So they called me up and I said, "Yeah. Sure, what the heck?" Phil Anderson: Well I asked that because who wouldn't? Keith Carradine: Well, actually, there are a few people that might not. Phil Anderson: It seems that throughout your career, people seem to think you stand for something. At certain points in your career, you stand for different things. But in this and in many other things, you seem to stand for a kind of purity or a sense of morality, whereas in other times you're quite evil, quite sneaky. You're not on trial here, but I have some character references I found. There is a current article in American Film about you, based on The Ballad of the Sad Café where the author Will Schneider says, "Carradine relishes a full day on a ski slope, sews is a top-notched kid-sized Spider- Man costume, saddles a horse deftly and rides easily, and hasn't raised his voice at his agent once in their seven-year relationship." Another reference I found that people in your family apparent describe you as the white sheep of the Carradine family.

  • Robert Altman's Nashville Hassan Melehy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
    Narratives of Politics and History in the Spectacle of Culture: Robert Altman's Nashville Hassan Melehy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA Robert Altman's Nashville (1975) has long been recognized as a masterpiece in its treatment of the spectacularization of American culture through an ostensible examination of the country music industry. In this article I will consider the movie's critique of the ways that American politics, history, and culture are produced as simulacra through the media, with attention to the function of narrative in this production. [1] The movie presents these fields as scarcely available except as simulacra in a "society of the spectacle"; the social relations that Nashville denotes are mediated especially by the proliferation of visual images (Debord, 1995: 12). Much previous writing on Nashville has very effectively noted its critique of politics, history, and culture through its staging of their spectacularized forms -- I will refer to many excellent commentaries. What I propose here is that Nashville treats these domains as inseparable from the mechanisms of representation and simulation in which they take place, indeed as taking place solely and uniquely in them. Through reflexive strategies, the film doesn't stop short of implicating cinema, and indeed itself, in the systems of simulation that it examines. [2] As a film that treats U.S. culture and politics in a time of crisis, Nashville's critique underscores cultural operations that persist in their effectiveness into the present day. As in the mid-1970s, the U.S. currently finds itself exhausted from an unpopular war and divided over the proper way to end the term of a president viewed as a failure largely in connection with his handling of the war.

  • Off the Beaten Path
    Off the Beaten Path A Comprehensive List of the Horror Community’s Favorite Overlooked Films Tomatometer Audience Score Mentions Logline [Rec] (2007) 89% 82% Reporter Angela (Manuela Velasco) and her trusty cameraman Pablo are following a local fire crew for a segment of their reality television series "When You're Asleep" when the firefighters receive a distress call from a nearby apartment building. An elderly woman has become locked in her apartment; a routine call by any account. The police are already on the scene, so now it's up to firemen Manu (Ferran Terraza) and Alex (David Vert) to break down the door and ensure that no harm has come to her. Upon arriving at the building, everything appears normal. But the calm atmosphere at the moment betrays the horrors that begin to unfold after the firemen break down the tenant's door and experience something that no one would believe had it not been captured on camera. Later, as the building is surrounded and quarantined, Pablo continues to roll tape to ensure that whatever the outcome of this terrifying situation may be, there will be some evidence to ensure that the truth gets out. [Rec] 2 (2010) 68% 60% The highly anticipated sequel to one of the scariest films of all time, "[REC] 2" picks up 15 minutes from where we left off, taking us back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus has run rampant, turning the occupants into mindlessly violent, raging beasts. A heavily armed SWAT team and a mysterious government official are sent in to assess and attempt to neutralize the situation.
