Perceptions of Religion from Star Wars and Star Trek Abstract Hollywood films and eligionr have an ongoing rocky relationship, especially in the realm of science fiction. A brief comparison study of the two giants of mainstream sci-fi, Star Wars and Star Trek reveals the differing attitudes toward religion expressed in the genre. Star Trek presents an evolving perspective, from critical secular humanism to begrudging personalized faith, while Star Wars presents an ambiguous mythological foundation for mystical experience that is in more ways universal. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss2/3 Schultes: Any Gods Out There? Science Fiction has come of age in the 21st century. From its humble beginnings, "Sci- Fi" has been used to express the desires and dreams of those generations who looked up at the stars and imagined life on other planets and space travel, those who actually saw the beginning of the space age, and those who still dare to imagine a universe with wonders beyond what we have today.

  • 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.

  • Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Teacher Notes – the Arts
    Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Teacher Notes – The Arts BACKGROUND Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is a thirteen x one-hour series based on the novels of Australian author, Kerry Greenwood. Our lady sleuth sashays through the back lanes and jazz clubs of late 1920s Melbourne, fighting injustice with her pearl-handled pistol and her dagger-sharp wit. Leaving a trail of admirers in her wake, our thoroughly modern heroine makes sure she enjoys every moment of her lucky life. The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher (pronounced Fry-knee) began life in 1989 as the daring lady detective protagonist of a series of eighteen crime books written by Australian author, Kerry Greenwood. A glamorous and thoroughly modern woman of the late 1920s with an acquired taste for the best – but who also has impeccable working class origins – Phryne was an instant success with readers and still shows no sign of hanging up her pearl-handled pistol or giving up her adventurous love-life for just one man. Producer Fiona Eagger firmly believes that the tone and wit of the books, which have attracted hundreds of thousands of readers, will translate for the fans. The result is a delightful “whodunit” series combined with a bit of old fashioned fun, taking audiences back in time to a meticulously realised, decorous world – a world of beauty, wit and charm. Behind the scenes videos take teachers and students to the heart of the Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries production. In these clips, interspersed with illustrative grabs from the television series, author Kerry Greenwood, the producers, director, the steam train drivers, visual effects and production designers discuss their roles and the creative process of the various aspects that blended to become the extraordinary production of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries.

Music continues at a lower volume as April introduces herself and her guest, and then it fades out. 00:00:08 April Wolfe Host Welcome to Switchblade Sisters, where women get together to slice and dice our favorite action and genre films. I’m April Wolfe. Every week, I invite a new female filmmaker on. A writer, director, actor, or producer, and we talk—in depth—about one of their fave genre films. Perhaps one that’s influenced their own work in some small way. You may already remember from the last few episodes, but here’s a reminder. We are remote recording now, since we’re all social distancing. I’m recording from my bedroom, so you’re gonna hear my cat screaming. She was already doing it earlier. The audio is likely going to sound a little different from our studios, but everything else is exactly the same. Except for the fact that today, our guest got to call in from Tasmania, because I’m very excited to have actor-producer Essie Davis here with me. Hi, Essie! 00:00:51 Essie Guest Hi, April. It’s a pleasure to be here. 00:00:54 April Host So for those of you who aren’t familiar with Essie’s work, where have you been? But also, here’s a refresher. Essie was born and raised in Hobart, Tasmania. She studied in Sydney at the National Institute for Dramatic Art, and then she graduated onto the stage, performing in the Bell Shakespeare Company, already securing coveted roles like Juliet.

  • Creative Conflict in Writing Return of the Jedi Ewoks
    V. 12 – N. 1 - jan./ abr. 2021 ISSN: 2179-1465 / https://www.revistageminis.ufscar.br Brett Davies Meiji University EWOKS VERSUS DEAD HEROES: CREATIVE CONFLICT IN Tokyo, Japan WRITING RETURN OF THE JEDI EWOKS CONTRA HERÓIS MORTOS: CONFLITO CRIATIVO NA ESCRITA DE RETURN OF THE JEDI ABSTRACT The original Star Wars trilogy established a storytelling model that still influences Hollywood filmmaking today. However, the third episode in the saga, Return of the Jedi (1983), was received less favorably than its predecessors by critics. This article will examine historical record and analyze aspects of syuzhet (‘plot’) and fabula (‘story’) (BORDWELL, 1985, pp. 49-50) in the screenplay in order to establish why Return of the Jedi works less successfully as a narrative than the first two films. The results of the investigation suggest that this was due to a fundamental philosophical conflict between screenwriters George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan. Keywors: Star Wars, George Lucas, Lawrence Kasdan, syuzhet, fabula. RESUMO A trilogia original de Star Wars estabeleceu um modelo de narrativa que ainda hoje influencia o cinema de Hollywood. No entanto, o terceiro episódio da saga, Return of the Jedi (1983), foi recebido pela crítica de forma menos favorável do que seus antecessores. Este artigo examinará o registro histórico e analisará aspectos de syuzhet ('enredo') e fabula ('história') (BORDWELL, 1985, pp. 49-50) no roteiro, a fim de estabelecer porque Return of the Jedi teve menos sucesso como narrativa em comparação aos dois primeiros filmes.

  • "It's Aimed at Kids - the Kid in Everybody": George Lucas, Star Wars and Children's Entertainment by Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK
    "It's aimed at kids - the kid in everybody": George Lucas, Star Wars and Children's Entertainment By Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK When Star Wars was released in May 1977, Time magazine hailed it as "The Year's Best Movie" and characterised the special quality of the film with the statement: "It's aimed at kids - the kid in everybody" (Anon., 1977). Many film scholars, highly critical of the aesthetic and ideological preoccupations of Star Wars and of contemporary Hollywood cinema in general, have elaborated on the second part in Time magazine's formula. They have argued that Star Wars is indeed aimed at "the kid in everybody", that is it invites adult spectators to regress to an earlier phase in their social and psychic development and to indulge in infantile fantasies of omnipotence and oedipal strife as well as nostalgically returning to an earlier period in history (the 1950s) when they were kids and the world around them could be imagined as a better place. For these scholars, much of post-1977 Hollywood cinema is characterised by such infantilisation, regression and nostalgia (see, for example, Wood, 1985). I will return to this ideological critique at the end of this essay. For now, however, I want to address a different set of questions about production and marketing strategies as well as actual audiences: What about the first part of Time magazine's formula? Was Star Wars aimed at children? If it was, how did it try to appeal to them, and did it succeed? I am going to address these questions first of all by looking forward from 1977 to the status Star Wars has achieved in the popular culture of the late 1990s.
