Tragikomedin 2012-01-04 10:31 CET Tragikomedin "Work It" TV-serien "Work It" är en tragikomedi. I valet mellan att skratta eller gråta väljer filmskaparna att göra humor av finanskrisen och massarbetslösheten. En del kommer även att se likheter med biofilmen "Tootsie" från 1982, som vann en Oscar åt Jessica Lange och ytterligare nio nomineringar, bland annat åt huvudrollsinnehavaren Dustin Hoffman. Handlingen fokuserar kring den forne bilförsäljaren "Lee Standish" (spelad av Benjamin Koldyke). Lee Standish och hans fru samt tonårsdotter kämpar med ekonomin och att ha råd med de mest grundläggande nödvändigheterna, som mat, läkarvård och mobiltelefon. För den långtidsarbetslöse Lee verkar det som att bara kvinnor söks till de enda lediga jobben. I ett ögonblick av desperation får han en snilleblixt, klär ut sig till kvinna och blir äntligen anställd. Huvudrollsinnehavaren Benjamin Koldyke har varit med länge, åtminstone i tio år, men är inget känt ansikte eller namn. Han har senast haft återkommande roller i "How I Met Your Mother" som "Don Frank", och i "Big Love" som "Dale Tomasson". Innan dess har han gjort medverkat i "This Little Piggy", "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", "The Big D", "Boldly Going Nowhere", "24", "Fäst vid dig", "Tretton dagar", och "Det näst bästa". Detta är en imponerande meritlista i termer om vilka kändisar som har huvudrollerna i titlarna. Exempelvis Kevin Costner i "Tretton Dagar". Eller Kiefer Sutherland i supersuccéen "24". "Det näst bästa" (The Next Best Thing, 2000) var en storsatsning som kryllade av kända ansikten som Madonna, Rupert Everett, Benjamin Bratt och Illeana Douglas. Om någon minns filmen väl, så spelade Benjamin Koldyke Kellys pojkvän. Men det skulle alltså ta över tio år innan Koldyke fick det som många kämpar förgäves hela livet för: en huvudroll i en stor TV-kanal. Andra skådespelare i "Work It" är vackra bombnedslaget Rochelle Aytes, välkände Amaury Nolasco (som kanske är mest känd som "Sucre" i "Prison Break"), brittiska Rebecca "Bex" Mader, samt Beth Lacke - som spelar Lees fru "Connie Standish". En del av verklighetens ironi är att det är osäkert hur länge Benjamin Koldyke och den övriga ensemblen får behålla jobbet. Nu för tiden är det nästan regel snarare än undantag att även TV-serier med kända ansikten, utmärkta skådespelarprestationer och välskrivna manus läggs ner redan i första säsongen. "Work It" hade premiär på den amerikanska kanalen ABC tisdag den 3 januari (2012). ____________ Work It.

  • Traffic (2000): La Drogadicción Vista Desde La Bioética
    TRAFFIC (2000): LA DROGADICCIÓN VISTA DESDE LA BIOÉTICA JUAN ENRIQUE REDONDO CANTUESO CÓRDOBA (España) , JUNIO 2010 FICHA TÉCNICA Año de producción: 2000 País: Alemania, EE.UU. Dirección: Steven Soderbergh Intérpretes: Michael Douglas, Benicio del Toro, Luis Guzmán, Dennis Quaid, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Don Cheadle, Erika Christensen, Albert Finney, Miguel Ferrer, Amy Irving, Topher Grace, Clifton Collins Jr., Benjamin Bratt, James Brolin Guión: Stephen Gaghan Música: Cliff Martínez Fotografía: Steven Soderbergh Duración: 147 min. Público apropiado: Jóvenes-adultos Género: Thriller LA PELÍCULA Como iré tratando de exponer, TRAFFIC no es la enésima película que trata el drama de las drogas. No. Es una película especial en la que se muestra este escabroso tema no solo desde el punto de vista de la policía o de los implicados sino desde todos los ámbitos y generaciones de nuestra sociedad; nos enseña desde dentro el circo político, la acción y corrupción policial, la incidencia en la juventud-adolescencia, la difícil relación padres-hijos, la ausencia de valores donde solo prima el poseer más que el ser… Presentadas las tres historias de forma paralela, pretende captar más la atención del espectador y potenciar su concentración. La fotografía juega un papel fundamental para contextualizar en todo momento a personajes y lugares, gracias a combinaciones de color y contrastes (por ejemplo, cuando la acción se desarrolla en México el color de la imagen es sepia con tonos quemados). Se nos van mostrando tres historias paralelas que van encontrando puntos de unión a medida que avanza la película. La primera de ellas está ambientada en México y comienza con la incautación de un cargamento de droga por parte de dos detectives de Tijuana (el jefe de ellos es Javier Rodríguez, interpretado por Benicio del Toro), que pretenden salir de una espiral de corrupción e inmoralidad.

  • We Shall Remain.” Tecumseh (Shawnee)
    “The Great Spirit above has appointed this place for us on which to light our fires, and here we shall remain.” Tecumseh (Shawnee) They were charismatic and forward thinking, imaginative and courageous, compassionate and resolute, and, at times, arrogant, vengeful, and reckless. For hundreds of years, Native American leaders from Massasoit, Tecumseh, and Lalawithika, to Major Ridge, Geronimo, and Fools Crow valiantly resisted expulsion from their lands and fought the extinction of their culture. Sometimes, their strategies were militaristic, but more often they were diplomatic, spiritual, legal, and political. From PBS’s acclaimed history series, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE, in association with Native American Public Telecommunications (NAPT), comes WE SHALL REMAIN, a groundbreaking mini-series and provocative multi-media project that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history. Five 90-minute documentaries spanning three hundred years tell the story of pivotal moments in U.S. history from the Native American perspective. WE SHALL REMAIN will premiere on PBS in April 2009. A companion public radio documentary, focusing on contemporary Native issues, will be distributed to public radio and Native broadcasters to coincide with the television program. Beginning in the 1600s with the Wampanoags, who used their alliance with the English to strengthen their position in Southern New England, and ending with the bold new leaders of the 1970s, who harnessed the momentum of the Civil Rights Movement to forge a pan-Indian identity, WE SHALL REMAIN upends two-dimensional stereotypes of American Indians as simply ferocious warriors or peaceable lovers of the land. Chris Eyre, director of the first three episodes of WE SHALL REMAIN, has been involved with the series from its onset.
