Eddie Redmayne E Felicity Jones Di Nuovo Insieme a Bordo Della Mongolfiera Di Tom Harper - Di Alessia De Antoniis
THE AERONAUTS Alla Festa Del Cinema Di Roma: Eddie Redmayne e Felicity Jones di nuovo insieme a bordo della mongolfiera di Tom Harper - di Alessia de Antoniis 19/10/2019 La storia di Amelia Wren e dell’ambizioso meterologo James Glaisher, che nel 1862 vogliono far progredire la conoscenza del tempo atmosferico e di volare più in alto di chiunque altro nella storia. Mentre stabiliscono primati e portano avanti la ricerca scientifica, il loro percorso di vita, condotto fino a limiti estremi, porta l’inverosimile coppia a trovare un posto in quel mondo che i due, dalle mongolfiere, vedono così lontano e piccolo. In un clima vittoriano e un'ambientazione che rammenta scene disneyane Tom Harper mette in scena il volo in mongolfiera da record di Glaisher e del suo collega scienziato Henry Coxwell, qui sostituito da una regina dei cieli glamour, l'immaginaria Amelia Wren. The Aeronauts è un film fantastico tratto da una storia vera, per la quale Harper e il suo sceneggiatore Jack Thorne si sono ispirati al libro Falling Upwards: How We Took the Air, di Richard Holmes. Tom Harper riunisce Eddie Redmayne e Felicity Jones, già protagonisti de La teoria del tutto. Redmayne interpreta ancora una volta uno scienziato, il pioniere della meteorologia James Glaisher, Jones interpreta un'aeronautica immaginaria, Amelia Wren, che si ritrova a doverlo aiutare. C'è suspense, avventura e qualcosa di esotico in un film che ricorda, in alcune scene, i cieli di Londra attraversati da Peter Pan con le vedute dall'altro della Londra ottocentesca. La mongolfiera sembra uno dei giocattoli della stanza di Mary Poppins, il metereologo Glaisher parte in camicia e giacca da marinaio rischiando si morire assiderato a 11.000 metri d'altezza, Amelia non ha i guanti e non le si congelano le mani. -

TV Remakes, Revivals, Updates, and Continuations: Making Sense of the Reboot on Television
Représentations dans le monde anglophone – Janvier 2017 TV Remakes, Revivals, Updates, and Continuations: Making Sense of the Reboot on Television Mehdi Achouche, Université Lyon 3 Jean Moulin Keywords: reboot, remake, reimagining, update, TV series Mots-clés : reboot, remake, réinterprétation, adaptation, série télévisée When discussing the remake, it is generally the case that we are talking about the movie remake. Stigmatized or (more rarely) defended, the remake is historically thought of as a cinematographic institution, with very little thought devoted so far to the television remake1. Yet the phenomenon has been dramatically increasing over the past few years. A zap2it.com article counted in late 2013 32 projects being either remakes or spinoffs, with another 52 series being based on books or comics, accounting for 20% of the shows in development at the five broadcast networks for the 2014-15 season. By comparison, 53 such projects were developed throughout the previous season2. While TV series have been said to be in a new golden age thanks to their “cinematisation”, they thus allegedly are in danger, according to the same article, echoing the long-standing complaints about “recycling” on the big screen, of ironically falling victim to the “movie-fication” of the business: “TV development is starting to look an awful lot like the movie business, where at the big- studio level pre-sold franchises and risk aversion seem to be the guiding principles.” Or, as another writer puts it more succinctly, “there’s a point where the recycled material is just garbage”3. 1 Only two book-length studies entirely dedicated to the TV remake exist so far, edited by the same scholars: Lavigne Carlen, Marvotich Heather (eds.), American Remakes of British Television: Transformations and Mistranslations, Lenham: Lexington Books, 2011; and Lavigne, Carlen (ed.), Remake Television: Reboot Re-use Recycle. -

Rader Lonely Sounds: Popular Recorded Music and American Society, 1949-1979 examines the relationship between the experience of listening to popular music and social disengagement. It finds that technological innovations, the growth of a youth culture, and market forces in the post- World War II era came together to transform the normal musical experience from a social event grounded in live performance into a consumable recorded commodity that satisfied individual desires. -

Sal is attempting to cook dinner for the family. She and husband David have pulled off a coup and gathered their brood back home for the weekend. Eldest son Carl is bringing his new girlfriend to meet everyone for the first time; middle daughter Polly is back from Cambridge University for the occasion; and youngest Tom will hopefully make it out of detention in time for dinner. Sal and David would rather feed their kids with leftist ideals and welfarism than fancy cuisine. When you've named each of your offspring after your socialist heroes, you've given them a lot to live up to..
