Tamás Zákonyi Cinematography by : Buda Gulyás Production Desing by : János Szabolcs Costume Desing by : Beatrix Aruna Pásztor Original Music by : Nick Glennie-Smith Producer: Andrew G. Vajna Directed by : Krisztina Goda Website: www.szabadsagszerelemafilm.hu SYNOPSIS The year is 1956. While Hungary is only a small slave nation within the massive Soviet Block, it is also a superpower – its national water polo team is invincible. Even locked behind the Iron Curtain, the players feel like kings. Thriving on success and enjoying the attention of every girl in the country, they stand self-assured and unified. The team has lost only once in 1955, when a referee in Moscow simply did not let them win. The team are now bracing themselves for a rematch due to take place at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne. History, however, throws a major obstacle in team’s path, and a revolution breaks out in Budapest and the young star of the team, Karcsi (Iván Feny ı) and his friend, Tibi (Sándor Csányi) get embroiled in the events occurring out on the streets. At first, they are only out for adventure, but a fiery student - Viki Falk (Kata Dobó) - from the Technical University catches Karcsi’s eye and in following her steps he finds himself right at the heart of the uprising - the Kossuth square and the subsequent siege of the National Radio station.

    "TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY" a Screenplay by James Cameron and William Wisher Revised final shooting script ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 EXT. CITY STREET - DAY Downtown L.A. Noon on a hot summer day. On an EXTREME LONG LENS the lunchtime crowd stacks up into a wall of humanity. In SLOW MOTION they move in herds among the glittering rows of cars jammed bumper to bumper. Heat ripples distort the torrent of faces. The image is surreal, dreamy... and like a dream it begins very slowly to DISSOLVE TO: 2 EXT. CITY RUINS - NIGHT Same spot as the last shot, but now it is a landscape in Hell. The cars are stopped in rusted rows, still bumper to bumper. The skyline of buildings beyond has been shattered by some unimaginable force like a row of kicked-down sandcastles. Wind blows through the desolation, keening with the sound of ten million dead souls. It scurries the ashes into drifts, stark white in the moonlight against the charred rubble. A TITLE CARD FADES IN: LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2029 3 ANGLE ON a heap of fire-blackened human bones. Beyond the mound is a vast tundra of skulls and shattered concrete. The rush hour crowd burned down in their tracks. 4 WE DISSOLVE TO a playground... where intense heat has half-melted the jungle gym, the blast has warped the swing set, the merry-go-round has sagged in the firestorm. Small skulls look accusingly from the ash-drifts. WE HEAR the distant echo of children's voices... playing and laughing in the sun. A silly, sing-songy rhyme as WE TRACKS SLOWLY over seared asphalt where the faint hieroglyphs of hopscotch lines are still visible.

  • Whitepaper V2.6 MAVO Token
    Whitepaper V2.6 MAVO Token PREFACE Films are an integral part of the modern world. They connect us and bring us closer together. They have become one of the most essential components of entertainment in our daily lives, and a common language that we all speak regardless of nationality, religion, race, or culture. In addition to its tremendous cultural impact, the film industry also accrues very impressive income every year. In 2016, revenue generated by worldwide box office ticket sales totaled an impressive US$38 billion, led by a rapid pace of growth in China, whose market size has played an important role in affecting positive market trends. In fact, it has been predicted that by the year of 2020, global film box office revenues will reach US$49.3 billion. Meanwhile, online movie streaming platforms achieved outstanding results in the year 2016, benefiting from a large number of overseas subscribers. In fact, 2016 was the first year in which Netflix’s number of overseas subscribers actually exceeded its local US subscriber base, with 104 million people subscribing to the service in total, generating a 32.3% increase in sales revenue and a total revenue of US$2.785 billion. All of this indicates that the breakneck pace of the movie industry is not set to slow down anytime soon. 2 THE REMAINING ISSUE Unfortunately, in reality the boom in the movie industry still benefits only a very small portion of the industry’s professionals, with very little profit trickling down to those who actually produce the movies in question.

  • Cadernos Do Tempo Presente – ISSN: 2179-2143 Edição N
    Cadernos do Tempo Presente – ISSN: 2179-2143 Edição n. 10 – 10 de dezembro de 2012, www.getempo.org 1. Os Vingadores como Espelhos Ideológicos Norte-americanos no pós Guerra Fria Clara Regina AlmeidaI Quem aprecia cinema, pode ter notado que nos últimos anos as grandes produtoras cinematográficas americanas mudaram um pouco o foco, agora trazendo às grandes telas, contos clássicos como: A menina da capa vermelhaII, Alice no País das MaravilhasIII, dentre outros. Além disso, reapresentaram sucessos de bilheterias como: X-ManIV, O Homem de ferroV, RamboVI e HulkVII. Isso é muito significante para o trabalho do historiador, porque assim torna possível uma análise comparativa entre o contexto da época em que essas películas foram lançadas pela primeira vez, e agora os seus remaiquers. Nessa nova perspectiva, observamos que o cinema dos anos 2000, dá uma nova roupagem aos temas abordados em filmes marcantes, e por consequência aos mocinhos e aos vilões dessas obras. Para isso, cito a Trilogia Rambo, lançada três primeiras vezes em plena Guerra Fria, e que voltou no ano de 2008, totalmente readaptada ao contexto atual, tendo como inimigo não mais os Russos, mas sim o TerrorismoVIII. Ou seja, os inimigos não eram mais os mesmos e a Guerra Fria já não estava mais posta aos moldes dos anos 1945 até 1989. Isoladamante reaparecem no cinema figuras como O Iron Man, representado pelo ator Robert Downey Jr, ator já consagrado em Hollywood; Thor (o deus trovão) personificado pelo ator Chris Hemsworth, personagem da mitologia ocidental; O Capitão América feito pelo atorChris Evans, que é muito conhecido pelo filme Quarteto FantásticoIX, como o Tocha Humana.
