Master 2 Recherche Etudes Anglophones Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: A Fairy Tale between Tradition and Subversion A dissertation presented by Joséphine Magnard Year 2017-2018 Under the supervision of Mehdi Achouche, Senior Lecturer ABSTRACT The aim of this Master’s dissertation is to study to what extent Tim Burton plays with the codes of the fairy tale genre in his adaptation of Roald Dahl’s children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964). To that purpose, the characteristics of the fairy tale genre will be treated with a specific focus on morality. The analysis of specific themes that are part and parcel of the genre such as childhood, family and home will show that Tim Burton’s take on the tale challenges the fairy tale codes, providing its viewers with a more Tim Burtonesque, subversive approach where things are not as definable as they might seem.

    PRESENTS UNCLE NICK A FILM BY CHRIS KASICK Press Notes DISTRIBUTOR CONTACT PRESS CONTACT Nicole Mikuzis Nathaniel Baruch MPI Media Group Brigade Marketing 773.875.4550 917.551.5851 [email protected] [email protected] UNCLENICKMOVIE.COM SYNOPSIS NOTHING RUINS CHRISTMAS LIKE FAMILY. Lewd, drunken Uncle Nick (Brian Posehn, Mr. Show, The Sarah Silverman Program) stumbles his way through his brother’s cookie cutter-family’s annual Christmas gathering in the hopes of scoring with a super-hot party guest. But the arrival of his equally crass sister coupled with Nick’s liquor-fueled faux pas cause family secrets to bubble to the surface that might spell disaster for the whole clan before the night is over. Presented by Errol Morris, UNCLE NICK is a raucously funny comedy of inappropriate behavior, uncomfortably interrupted trysts, and a monumental overserving of ten-cent beers. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT I grew up in Cleveland and have seen the city struggle with sports curses and memories of past prosperity. During the holidays, I experience the warm Christmas traditions of my family juxtaposed over a city that feels cold, dark, and grim. This is the genesis of my film UNCLE NICK. On the surface, the character Uncle Nick is a jovial, lewd houseguest on a mission to cause havoc. He is the Anti-Santa Claus. The film plays as an over-the-top party romp, but there’s a parallel undercurrent. Told through the story of 10 Cent Beer Night, in which a riot overtook a Cleveland Indians baseball game, the film chronicles an evening of alcohol, anger, and heartbreak.
  • Dark Knight's War on Terrorism

    Dark Knight's War on Terrorism

    The Dark Knight's War on Terrorism John Ip* I. INTRODUCTION Terrorism and counterterrorism have long been staple subjects of Hollywood films. This trend has only become more pronounced since the attacks of September 11, 2001, and the resulting increase in public concern and interest about these subjects.! In a short period of time, Hollywood action films and thrillers have come to reflect the cultural zeitgeist of the war on terrorism. 2 This essay discusses one of those films, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight,3 as an allegorical story about post-9/11 counterterrorism. Being an allegory, the film is considerably subtler than legendary comic book creator Frank Miller's proposed story about Batman defending Gotham City from terrorist attacks by al Qaeda.4 Nevertheless, the parallels between the film's depiction of counterterrorism and the war on terrorism are unmistakable. While a blockbuster film is not the most obvious starting point for a discussion about the war on terrorism, it is nonetheless instructive to see what The Dark Knight, a piece of popular culture, has to say about law and justice in the context of post-9/11 terrorism and counterterrorism.5 Indeed, as scholars of law and popular culture such as Lawrence Friedman have argued, popular culture has something to tell us about society's norms: "In society, there are general ideas about right and wrong, about good and bad; these are templates out of which legal norms are cut, and they are also ingredients from which song- and script-writers craft their themes and plots."6 Faculty of Law, University of Auckland.

Amidst real life-and- death situations, McGarry follows a dedicated team of charismatic young doctors-in-training as they wrestle with both their ideals and the realities of saving lives in a complex and overburdened system. Their training ground and source of inspiration is "C-Booth," Los Angeles County Hospital's legendary trauma bay, the birthplace of Emergency Medicine, where “more people have died and more people have been saved than in any other square footage in the United States.” CODE BLACK offers a tense, doctor's-eye view right into the heart of the healthcare debate – bringing us face to face with America's only 24/7 safety net. 2 DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT When I first started documenting CBooth at LA County Hospital, as a first-year resident already working 80-hour weeks, I didn’t plan to make a film.
