USE OF THIS PRODUCT IS SUBJECT TO THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE LICENSE AGREEMENT AND LIMITED WARRANTY FROM WARSAW TO PARIS… AND THEN ON TO LONDON! The development team behind the award-winning game Advanced Tactics: World War II is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive early days of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris is the first in an innovative series of operational World War II wargames that also include a strategic element. The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris simulates Germany’s military successes in Poland and France in 1939 and 1940 (including also a hypothetical “Sea Lion” invasion of Great Britain if you do well enough). Well researched and packed with depth, including detailed unit data down to the squad and vehicle level and historically realistic combined arms gameplay, The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris also features an easy-to-learn interface and a ferocious AI. Before each campaign, players choose actions and options at a strategic level which can have far-reaching effects on how the actual battle unfolds, with many plausible hypothetical outcomes. Once in the battle, players move regiments and divisions, coordinate attacks and manage logistics in what we feel is the definitive game on the campaigns of the early Blitzkrieg. There are also unique actions for individual historical generals to give a particular objective or front the extra needed push to victory. Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris also includes a unique multiplayer feature where players can split up Axis or Allied armies between several people to add an added level of realism and cooperation!

  • Cutting Patterns in DW Griffith's Biographs
    Cutting patterns in D.W. Griffith’s Biographs: An experimental statistical study Mike Baxter, 16 Lady Bay Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 5BJ, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected]) 1 Introduction A number of recent studies have examined statistical methods for investigating cutting patterns within films, for the purposes of comparing patterns across films and/or for summarising ‘average’ patterns in a body of films. The present paper investigates how different ideas that have been proposed might be combined to identify subsets of similarly constructed films (i.e. exhibiting comparable cutting structures) within a larger body. The ideas explored are illustrated using a sample of 62 D.W Griffith Biograph one-reelers from the years 1909–1913. Yuri Tsivian has suggested that ‘all films are different as far as their SL struc- tures; yet some are less different than others’. Barry Salt, with specific reference to the question of whether or not Griffith’s Biographs ‘have the same large scale variations in their shot lengths along the length of the film’ says the ‘answer to this is quite clearly, no’. This judgment is based on smooths of the data using seventh degree trendlines and the observation that these ‘are nearly all quite different one from another, and too varied to allow any grouping that could be matched against, say, genre’1. While the basis for Salt’s view is clear Tsivian’s apparently oppos- ing position that some films are ‘less different than others’ seems to me to be a reasonably incontestable sentiment. It depends on how much you are prepared to simplify structure by smoothing in order to effect comparisons.

Burke This dissertation analyzes theological concepts in silent moving pictures made for commercial distribution from 1902 to 1927, and examines how directors and scenarists sorted through competing belief systems to select what they anticipated would be palatable theological references for their films. A fundamental assumption of this study is that, the artistic and aesthetic pretensions of many silent-era filmmakers notwithstanding, directors generally made decisions in the conception, production and marketing of films primarily to maximize profits in a ruthlessly competitive environment.

  • 7Th GRADE SUMMER READING!
    7th GRADE SUMMER READING! June 2020 Dear Incoming 7th Graders, We hope that you have an enjoyable and relaxing summer! At the same time, we don’t want to see you forget all of the skills you have worked so hard on during 6th grade. To keep your skills sharp, we ask you to read two novels ​ ​ this summer to kick off the 7th Grade 20 Book Reading Challenge that we will continue throughout the year. ​ ​ We are encouraging each student to read 20 books throughout this year. Attached is a sheet to record the title and authors of each book that is read. Print out the challenge page and add the two titles and authors of the books you read over the summer. Then bring the challenge page to class with you to turn into your ELA teacher. We encourage students to read across a variety of genres, themes, and authors. The books we read as a class will count toward the 20 books. It is our motto that you can always read more than 20 and should never strive to do less. The book of your choice CANNOT be a book with a film version. Throughout the course of the year we will be exploring the theme of transformation on top of our exploration of story structure and how authors transform traditional structures. This theme will be a reoccurring topic in both our class discussions and writing for each unit we study. We encourage students to utilize the school and public libraries as a means of finding great books to read.

  • The Influence of Anti-Communist and Anti-Slavic Governmental Propaganda in Hollywood Cinema in the Decade Following WWII
    The AlexAndriAn IV, no. 1 (2015) Don’t Believe Everything You See at the Movies: The Influence of Anti-Communist and Anti-Slavic Governmental Propaganda in Hollywood Cinema in the Decade Following WWII Megan Phillips "Don't Believe Everything You See at the Movies" is an evaluation of the American film industry in the decade following WWII. It analyzes government involvement in the private film sector and how the film industry responded to pressure to produce films with pro-American stance as well as themes of anti-Soviet and anti-communist sentiment. The essay argues that these films were the direct result of government involvement in the lives/careers of the actors, actresses, writers, producers, and directors of the time, and how their reaction came to shape American film culture throughout the decade. Movies, like the theatre productions that preceded them, are largely based on the suspension of disbelief in their viewers. This means that in order to enjoy a movie, one must immerse oneself in the world presented on screen and, for that moment, accept this reality rather than their own. This tactic of self-imposed selected ignorance for the purpose of entertainment has acted to hold moviegoers captive for nearly a century. A movie’s reality can include a variety of different perspectives based on the motivations and perspectives of the actors, producers, directors, and writers. Film always has a purpose. The American government actively intervened in the film industry in the 1940s and ‘50s in order to denounce communism and promote “American values”. The intent of this paper is to illustrate to the reader that this deliberate intervention had a direct influence on the way that Hollywood would present their movies to the American people over the next decade, using positive reinforcement or negative censorship of their Constitutional rights to expression.

  • Lillian Gish
    Lillian Gish Lived: October 14, 1893 - February 27, 1993 Worked as: director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Mark Garrett Cooper In 1920, Lillian Gish both delivered a landmark performance in D.W. Griffith’s Way Down East and directed her sister Dorothy in Remodelling Her Husband. This was her sole director credit in a career as a screen actor that began with An Unseen Enemy in 1912 and ended with The Whales of August in 1987. Personal correspondence examined by biographer Charles Affron shows that Gish lobbied Griffith for the opportunity to direct and approached the task with enthusiasm. In 1920, in Motion Picture Magazine, however, Gish offered the following assessment of her experience: “There are people born to rule and there are people born to be subservient. I am of the latter order. I just love to be subservient, to be told what to do” (102). One might imagine that she discovered a merely personal kink. In a Photoplay interview that same year, however, she extended her opinion to encompass all women and in doing so slighted Lois Weber, one of Hollywood’s most productive directors. “I am not strong enough” to direct, Gish told Photoplay, “I doubt if any woman is. I understand now why Lois Weber was always ill after a picture” (29). What should historical criticism do with such evidence? By far the most common approach has been to argue that Gish did not really mean what the press quotes her as saying. Alley Acker, for instance, urges us not to be fooled by Gish’s “Victorian modesty” and goes on to provide evidence of her authority on the set (62).

  • Lillian Diana Gish
    Adrian Paul Botta ([email protected]) Lillian Diana Gish Lillian Diana Gish[1] (October 14, 1893 – February 27, 1993) was an American actress of the screen and stage,[2] as well as a director and writer whose film acting career spanned 75 years, from 1912 in silent film shorts to 1987. Gish was called the First Lady of American Cinema, and she is credited with pio - neering fundamental film performing techniques. Gish was a prominent film star of the 1910s and 1920s, partic - ularly associated with the films of director D. W. Griffith, includ - ing her leading role in the highest-grossing film of the silent era, Griffith's seminal The Birth of a Nation (1915). At the dawn of the sound era, she returned to the stage and appeared in film infrequently, including well-known roles in the controversial western Duel in the Sun (1946) and the offbeat thriller The Night of the Hunter (1955). She also did considerable television work from the early 1950s into the 1980s and closed her career playing, for the first time, oppo - site Bette Davis in the 1987 film The Whales of August (which would prove to be one of Davis's last on-screen appearances). In her later years Adrian Paul Botta ([email protected]) In her later years Gish became a dedicated advocate for the appreciation and preservation of silent film. Gish is widely consid - ered to be the great - est actress of the silent era, and one of the greatest ac - tresses in cinema history. Despite being better known for her film work, Gish was also an accom - plished stage ac - tress, and she was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 1972.

PREFACE The study of the evolution of warfare, and especially the great wars of the twentieth century, along with their depiction in film, combined several passions for me personally. I have been a student of military history since childhood and have a vast collection of books on the subject. I am also a veteran with twenty-five years of military service and a deployment overseas during one of the last century’s conflicts. As long as I can remember I have also been a fan of movies and fondly remember the days when twenty-five cents got you a ticket to the Wildey Theatre in the small southern Illinois town where I grew up. I remember well when my father, a veteran of World War II, took me to see The Longest Day, and the impact it had on me.

  • Robert Graves at Troy, Marathon, and the End of Sandy Road
    12 Robert Graves at Troy, Marathon, and the End of Sandy Road War Poems at a ClassicalDistance? Tom Palaima In 1941 Robert Graves was aslced, 'as a ''poet of the last wa1·''', to comment on the poetry tha ·t was being written during World War II.1 Graves rightly pointed ot1t that the terms 'war poet' and 'war poetry' were 'first used in World War I and perhaps peculiar to it'; l1e then spent almost his entire essay explaining how war poems came to be 'published by the thousa11d' during World W a1·I and why, when he was publishing his own Collected Poems in 1938, he 'could not conscientiously reprint any of my ''war poems''-they were too obvi­ ously written in the war-poetry boom' .2 This choice by Graves has made his war poetry less well lmown . The editor of a recent anthology of the 'essential' poetry of World War I with contextualizing com­ mentary considers it a significant acl1ievement 'to include some of the war poetry of Robert Graves which he suppressed fo1· over half a century' .3 Graves may have been truthful in 1941, but it is only a partial truth. His 'suppression' of his war poetry a11dhis limited original publica­ ·tion of it4 also reflect an ambivalence on his part about how well his war poems convey his own experiences of war and his attitudes 1 1 Graves (1995) 79-83, originally appearing as 'War Poets in This War , Listener, 26 (23 Oct. 1941), 566-7. 2 Graves (1995), 79. 3 Roberts (1996), 11.
