  • Les Gremlins Et La RAF…
    LES GREMLINS DANS LES ARMEES DE L'AIR Etude réalisée par Michel Coste ----- Depuis la nuit des temps, les peuples ont cru à l'existence d'êtres qui peuplaient leur imaginaire. Dénommés Elfes, Lutins, Trolls, Fées, Sylphes, Gnomes, tous sont nés de l'imagination populaire. Dès le Moyen-Age apparaissent les premières attestations de croyance envers ces créatures. À la Renaissance ces créations perdurent. Au XXeme siècle on continue d'y croire. On aurait pu penser de telles croyances en régression ou oubliées, dans ce monde moderne où le rationnel prime sur l’irrationnel. Les Gremlins et la RAF… Comment aurions-nous pu concevoir, qu'au sein de la RAF, l'imagination de ses membres les plus sensés ait pu donner naissance à l'existence d'un petit être espiègle parfois malveillant, ''le Gremlin'', et, de plus, accréditer son existence. La première notion de ''Gremlin'' (ce terme n'est pas encore employé) apparaît parmi les aviateurs au début du XXeme siècle. Le premier article se référant à ces êtres parut dans le journal ''The Spectator'' qui écrivait '' L'ancien Royal Naval Air Service en 1917 et la toute nouvelle Royal Air Force en 1918 apparaissent avoir détecté l'existence d'une horde d'Elfes mystérieux et malveillants dont le but entier était de …..'' Ainsi, dans cet écrit, était mis en exergue la cause (''les Gremlins'') et permettait de trouver une explication à des incidents inexplicables survenant en vol et se multipliant selon l'étrange loi des séries. Le 10 avril 1929 un poème, écrit par des aviateurs en service au Moyen Orient, paru à Malte dans le journal ''Aeroplane'' fait allusion aux Gremlins.

  • The Top Five Films You Did Not Know Were Based on Roald Dahl Stories
    The top five films you didn’t know were based on Roald Dahl stories Many Roald Dahl stories have been turned into family film favourites that we know and love, but did you know there’s more than just the books? Roald Dahl is responsible for a number of classic screenplays and storylines that we wouldn’t normally associate him with. Here’s five of our favourites, which you can enjoy once again on the big screen as part of Roald Dahl on Film: 1. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Roald Dahl was responsible for the screenplay of this truly magical, musical film. In fact, it was Roald Dahl that added in the Child Catcher as an extra character – so he’s responsible for giving us all those nightmares when we were small! 2. 36 hours This war movie released in 1965 was based on the short story ‘Beware of the Dog’ by Roald Dahl, which was first published in Harper’s Magazine in 1946. The story was also said to have influenced television series, The Prisoner. 3. You Only Live Twice The screenplay of this James Bond classic was another of Roald Dahl’s after he was approached by James Bond producers, Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli. The screenplay was the first to stray from Ian Fleming’s original story, as Roald Dahl famously said that the original wasn’t Fleming’s best work. 4. Gremlins The 1984 Steven Spielberg film Gremlins features characters developed from one of Roald Dahl’s earliest books, The Gremlins. In fact, there’s every chance that it was Roald Dahl’s first ever book for children! It impressed his bosses at the British Embassy so much that they sent it to Walt Disney to make into a feature film.

  • 1 Character Analysis of Matilda Wormwood from Roald Dahl's
    1 Character Analysis of Matilda Wormwood from Roald Dahl's Matilda Roald Dahl’s Matilda is one of the most famous children’s novels of the 20th century. The protagonist of this tale is Matilda Wormwood, a five and a half-year-old girl with a brilliant and lively mind that distances her from the rest of the family. Matilda’s character is particularly interesting as she has a powerful personality with extraordinary mental abilities, and she manages to overcome all the obstacles that surround her. The main aspect of Matilda’s personality is her particular image. From the beginning of the novel, Dahl described Matilda as exceptional person: “the child in question is extraordinary, and by that, I mean sensitive and brilliant” (1). Natov called her a rebellious superhero child with extraordinary mental strengths (140). Moreover, it is interesting that coming for the first time to the library, Matilda starts reading the book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. This fact makes a reader assume that a great change will happen with the main character. However, Matilda is growing up surrounded by a not appreciating environment. The girl’s parents are not interested in education or literature. Her mom, Mrs Wormwood, spends afternoons playing bingo, and her dad, Mr Wormwood, is a cheater. As grotesquely described by the author, they were too involved in their “silly little lives” to understand how special their daughter is (Dahl 2). Matilda, therefore, is continually told by her parents that she is “a noisy chatterbox” and that “small girls should be seen and not heard” (Dahl 11).
