    1/2006 Before the Film and Publication Review Board In the matter between: United Independent Pictures and The Film and Publication Board In re: Appeal in respect of the film: Inside Man Award Professor Karthy Govender Introduction and description of the film 1. This is a fast-paced big budget thriller made for the commercial market by Spike Lee, and features Denzel Washington (Keith Frazier), Jodie Foster (Madeleine White), and Clive Owen (Dalton Russell). A band of bank Comment [MJM1]: Names checked on imdb.com robbers stage the perfect robbery, not for personal enrichment, but in order to redress historical wrongs and to punish a Nazi collaborator, Arthur Case, who unscrupulously benefited from dealings with the Nazis and who subsequently attained prominence in American society. In essence, the film is about retribution and being held accountable and responsible for past misdeeds. 1 2. Dalton Russell and his colleagues rob a bank in order to access a specific safety deposit box. The contents of the box link the founder and owner of the bank to the Nazi regime. The robbery is planned and executed flawlessly, with no one being killed or seriously injured, and the robbers escape with the contents of the safe deposit box. Evidence that will undeniably link the banker to the Nazis is left at the crime scene for Keith Frazier to follow up on. The film, like many others by Spike Lee, explicitly comments on social issues, and has a number of subliminal messages. There is a memorable exchange between a Sikh and the African- American, Keith Frazier.

  • First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006
    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

  • Spike Lee: Avant-Garde Filmmaker
    Ayana McNair Avant-Garde Cinema CTCS 518, David James Fall 2004 12.09.04 Spike Lee: Avant-Garde Filmmaker Spike Lee came into mainstream consciousness with 1986’s She’s Gotta Have It. Since then, he has enjoyed a long and illustrious career as a filmmaker, writing, directing, producing, and starring in several very successful pictures that have highlighted some aspect of Black life in America. Films such as Do the Right Thing, School Daze, Jungle Fever, Bamboozled, and Malcolm X have catapulted Spike Lee into international stardom, making him one of the most, if not the most, notorious Black filmmakers of today. Arguably, he has reached the status of cultural icon in this country, evidenced by a parody of him on “The Simpsons”; as we know, an appearance on “The Simpsons” is the true sign that you’ve “made it.” Spike Lee’s films typically explore some issue prevalent in the Black community. Spike Lee’s rise to fame can be attributed to his bold and daring manner of dealing with issues previously unexplored in the mainstream. She’s Gotta Have It, his debut feature, explored intraracial dating, female promiscuity, and sexual power relations. ‘88’s School Daze again looked at intraracial relations, this time bringing to light the topic of skin tone and color bias within the Black community (that is, light-skinned Blacks versus dark-skinned) and the deep-seated tensions surrounding this issue. 1991 saw the release of Jungle A. McNair 1 Fever, the film that, arguably, catapulted Wesley Snipes and Samuel L. Jackson to stardom; in Jungle Fever, we got Spike Lee’s take on, this time, interracial dating, between a Black man and a white woman, and the tension surrounding such relationships.

  • A Discourse‐Centered Approach to Sound and Meaning in Spike Lee's Chi‐Raq
    ■ Daniel Lefkowitz Department of Anthropology University of Virginia [email protected] A Discourse-Centered Approach to Sound and Meaning in Spike Lee's Chi-Raq Joel Sherzer’s landmark 1987 paper, “A Discourse-Centered Approach to Language and Culture,” focused linguistic and anthropological attention on playful and artistic uses of language, both as a way of better understanding discourse, and as a way of better understanding how societies distribute and negotiate power. This paper applies Sherzer’s focus to an analysis of Spike Lee’s deployment of poetic language in his 2015 film Chi-Raq. Few American filmmakers craft dialogue more artfully, or deploy dialogue more saliently than Lee, whose filmic technique and political rhetoric force viewers to focus on speech and its consequences. This paper looks at the distribution of versified and ordinary dialogue speech in Chi-Raq in order to argue that interpreting the indexical meanings of linguistic variation in Lee’s film generates a nuanced interpretation of the film’s complex but powerful rhetoric. [poetics, film dialogue, signifying, AAVE, visual language] oel Sherzer’s groundbreaking essay, “A Discourse-Centered Approach to Language and Culture,” intervenes in the long-standing intellectual debate about the language-culture relationship by suggesting that scholars examine domains, J “ ” such as poetry, magic, politics, religion, respect, insult, and bargaining, where language is deployed creatively and persuasively, because it is there that the language-culture relationship “comes into sharpest focus” (Sherzer 1987:306). Sherzer argued for a focus on moments of playful and artistic speech, in which “the potentials and resources provided by grammar, as well as cultural meanings and symbols, are exploited to the fullest” (Sherzer 1987:296).

  • Rupert Everett ~ 36 Screen Credits
    Rupert Everett ~ 36 Screen Credits Look at that lip. Hauteur, condescension, disdain writ large. "I am a very limited actor. There's a certain amount I can do and that's it," said Everett in 2014. Maybe so, but - see My Best Friend's Wedding, An Ideal Husband, Separate Lies or Unconditional Love - how well he does it. Born in Burnham Deepdale, Norfolk on 29 May 1959 the second son of parents Anthony and Sara, RUPERT JAMES HECTOR EVERETT is of English, Scottish, Irish and more distant German and Dutch ancestry. His father, who died in 2009, was a Major in the British Army who later worked in business. When he was six, Rupert was taken into Braintree for his first trip to a cinema. There was a long queue, the child was typically fretful and the grown-ups thought about leaving, but finally decided not to: And so my mother bought the fateful tickets and unknowingly guided me through a pair of swing doors into the rest of my life ... ... Those huge curtains silently swished open and Mary Poppins sprang across the footlights and into my heart. After preliminary instruction from a governess, Everett was educated at Far- leigh House School, Andover from seven to thirteen then at Ampleforth College, Yorkshire from thirteen to sixteen, at which point he absconded to London to become an actor. After two years of living the bohemian life to the full (if not excess), he won a coveted place at the Central School of Speech and Drama, but after attending for two tempestuous and more or less unrewarding years was told not to return for a third.
