  • Oscars and America 2011
    AMERICA AND THE MOVIES WHAT THE ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEES FOR BEST PICTURE TELL US ABOUT OURSELVES I am glad to be here, and honored. I spent some time with Ben this summer in the exotic venues of Oxford and Cambridge, but it was on the bus ride between the two where we got to share our visions and see the similarities between the two. I am excited about what is happening here at Arizona State and look forward to seeing what comes of your efforts. I’m sure you realize the opportunity you have. And it is an opportunity to study, as Karl Barth once put it, the two Bibles. One, and in many ways the most important one is the Holy Scripture, which tells us clearly of the great story of Creation, Fall, Redemption and Consummation, the story by which all stories are measured for their truth, goodness and beauty. But the second, the book of Nature, rounds out that story, and is important, too, in its own way. Nature in its broadest sense includes everything human and finite. Among so much else, it gives us the record of humanity’s attempts to understand the reality in which God has placed us, whether that humanity understands the biblical story or not. And that is why we study the great novels, short stories and films of humankind: to see how humanity understands itself and to compare that understanding to the reality we find proclaimed in the Bible. Without those stories, we would have to go through the experiences of fallen humanity to be able to sympathize with them, and we don’t want to have to do that, unless we have a screw loose somewhere in our brain.

In the Bedroom Abstract This is a review of In the Bedroom (2001). Author Notes Brad Stetson is author of Living Victims, Stolen Lives: Parents of Murdered Children Speak to America (Baywood, 2002). This film er view is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol6/iss1/13 Stetson: In the Bedroom Based on an 18 page short story by the late Andre Dubus, In the Bedroom (director Todd Field's feature debut) carefully tells the story of Matt and Ruth Fowler (Tom Wilkinson and Sissy Spacek), a well-to do New England doctor and High School choral director whose son Frank (Nick Stahl) is home for a lazy summer, before pursuing his architecture career. The adoration of the Fowlers for their golden son is deeply touching, and ultimately the basic source of the film's emotional power. Frank's pursuit of the coy, attractive townie Natalie (Marisa Tomei), is dismissed by his indulgent father as a summer fling.

  • Rocky (1976) Movie Script by Sylvester Stallone
    Rocky (1976) movie script by Sylvester Stallone. Final draft, 1/7/76. More info about this movie on IMDb.com INT. BLUE DOOR FIGHT CLUB - NIGHT SUPERIMPOSE OVER ACTION... "NOVEMBER 12, 1975 - PHILADELPHIA" ... The club itself resembles a large unemptied trash-can. The boxing ring is extra small to insure constant battle. The lights overhead have barely enough wattage to see who is fighting. In the ring are two heavyweights, one white the other black. The white fighter is ROCKY BALBOA. He is thirty years old. His face is scarred and thick around the nose... His black hair shines and hangs in his eyes. Rocky fights in a plodding, machine-like style. The BLACK FIGHTER dances and bangs combinations into Rocky's face with great accuracy. But the punches do not even cause Rocky to blink... He grins at his opponent and keeps grinding ahead. The people at ringside sit on folding chairs and clamor for blood... They lean out of their seats and heckle the fighters. In the thick smoke they resemble spectres. Everyone is hustling bets... The action is even heavier in the balcony. A housewife yells for somebody to cover a two dollar bet. The BELL RINGS and the fighters return to their corner... Somebody heaves a beer can into the ring. The Black Fighter spits something red in a bucket and sneers across the ring at Rocky. BLACK FIGHTER (to cornerman) ... I'm gonna bust his head wide open! In Rocky's corner he is being assisted by a shriveled, balding CORNERMAN, who is an employee of the club..

  • Oscar Crashers
    ABC NEWS POLL: ACADEMY AWARDS – 2/26/06 EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE AFTER 6 a.m. Wednesday, March 1, 2006 Oscar Crashers “Crash” breaks through as the public’s top Oscar choice this year, but the real winner in a list of box-office laggards is no choice at all. Twenty-two percent in this ABC News poll pick “Crash” for the Best Picture statuette, with “Brokeback Mountain” in second place at 15 percent. But – unusually – the biggest group, 34 percent, has no opinion on which flick should win. That’s what happens when the nominees all rank 29th or lower on the year’s list for gross box office receipts: A lot of people just haven’t seen them. “No opinion” on the Oscar pick is 10 or more points higher this year than in recent years, when nominees included blockbusters such as “Lord of the Rings” and “Gladiator.” As things stand, “Brokeback” is closely pursued by “Munich” and “Good Night, and Good Luck.” “Capote” rounds out the five-picture list. 50% Which Movie Should Win the Oscar? ABC News Poll 45% 40% 35% 34% 30% 25% 22% 20% 15% 15% 11% 11% 10% 8% 5% 0% Crash Brokeback Munich Good Night, Capote No opinion Mountain and Good Luck ART – Hollywood ticket sales were down for a third straight year in 2005, and this year’s nominees, in particular, seem to be more about art than money. The top grosser on the list, “Brokeback,” ranks only 29th for domestic ticket sales; “Crash” ranks 49th; “Capote” is 104th. Indeed the box office gross for all five nominees combined would only rank fifth on the year’s list of top-grossing films.

  • America and the Movies What the Academy Award Nominees for Best Picture Tell Us About Ourselves
    AMERICA AND THE MOVIES WHAT THE ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEES FOR BEST PICTURE TELL US ABOUT OURSELVES I am glad to be here, and honored. For twenty-two years, I was the Executive Director of the Center for Christian Study in Charlottesville, VA, adjacent to the University of Virginia, and now I am in the same position with the fledgling Consortium of Christian Study Centers, a nation-wide group of Study Centers with the mission of working to present a Christian voice at the secular universities of our land. There are some thirty to thirty-five such Study Centers in all different shapes and sizes. Not surprisingly, I suppose, I believe the work they are doing is some of the most important work being done at universities in America today, and that makes me glad and filled with anticipation to be here with Missy and the rest of you at the beginning of another study center. I have had the privilege of being part of this from the beginning though also from afar, and it is nice finally to see what is happening here. I look forward to seeing what the Lord does in the coming years. Thank you for inviting me to address you. Now to the task at hand. This is the tenth year in a row I have, in one form or another, looked at the Academy Award nominees for best picture and opined on what they tell us about life in American society. However, this is the first of those ten years in which I have lectured on this topic before the nominees were even announced.
