  • The Disney Bloodline
    Get Your Free 150 MB Website Now! THE SKILL OF LYING, THE ART OF DECEIT The Disney Bloodline The Illuminati have refined the art of deception far beyond what the common man has imagined. The very life & liberty of humanity requires the unmasking of their deceptions. That is what this book is about. Honesty is a necessary ingredient for any society to function successfully. Deception has become a national pastime, starting with our business and political leaders and cascading down to the grass roots. The deceptions of the Illuminati's mind-control may be hidden, but in their wake they are leaving tidal waves of distrust that are destroying America. While the CIA pretend to have our nations best interest at heart, anyone who has seriously studied the consequences of deception on a society will tell you that deception will seriously damage any society until it collapses. Lies seriously damage a community, because trust and honesty are essential to communication and productivity. Trust in some form is a foundation upon which humans build relationships. When trust is shattered human institutions collapse. If a person distrusts the words of another person, he will have difficulty also trusting that the person will treat him fairly, have his best interests at heart, and refrain from harming him. With such fears, an atmosphere of death is created that will eventually work to destroy or wear down the cooperation that people need. The millions of victims of total mind- control are stripped of all trust, and they quietly spread their fears and distrust on a subconscious level throughout society.

  • The Strange and Wondrous Tale of Bill Constable & the Cinemascope Pirates of Pagewood
    1 “AAARRRHH THERE MATEY!” - The Strange and Wondrous Tale of Bill Constable & the Cinemascope Pirates of Pagewood... by Bob Hill, Oct 2018 In early 1954... and a world away from the dense urban spread of today’s Sydney... the southern suburb of Pagewood was little more than wind blasted sand hills and scrub encroached upon by rows of hastily thrown up brick bungalows, a couple of isolated factories and a desolate bus depot. In the middle of this literal and figurative wasteland, a strange enterprise was taking place in Australia’s only purpose-built film studio complex - the making of “Long John Silver”, a Hollywood style blockbuster replete with imported stars, executives and key technicians in all the Heads of Department roles... that is, all except for their Production Designer, a middle aged Australian about to make his first foray into film! 2 1. Hollywood in the Sand Hills Pagewood studios, 1954 - then named “Television City”, 2 years before TV arrived in Australia! (NSW State Library) “Television City seems to have borrowed its architectural inspiration from Long Bay Gaol...” ‘Pagewood’ is the great lost studio of Australian film-making: As Wikipedia explains... The studio was built in 1935 for National Productions by National Studios Ltd, it was originally known as National Studios. It was constructed for the presumed increase in production that most observers thought would result in Australia following introduction of the NSW Film Quota Act... They were the first new film studios built in Australia since 1912. Gaumont British helped provide finance and personnel in its construction.1 The Quota Act was never enforced and instead of becoming the hub of film production in Sydney, makeshift facilities at Cinesound in Bondi Junction (an old roller skating rink) and Figtree Studios in Lane Cove (a converted picnic ground pavilion) soon eclipsed the better equipped Pagewood studios.

Lighthouse design never appealed to Stevenson, though, and he began studying law instead. His spirit of adventure truly began to appear at this stage, and during his summer vacations he traveled to France to be around young writers and painters.

Barrie y su posterior conversión al cine. Para ello, analizamos el proceso de adaptación en cuatro películas que, además de ser bien conocidas por el público, comparten la característica de haber sido producidas por estudios de cine americanos. Ateniéndonos al carácter original de la obra, adoptaremos un enfoque que nos permita reconocer las similitudes y diferencias entre el texto literario y el texto fílmico. Así pues, observaremos cómo, a través de sus numerosas recreaciones, la industria de Hollywood se ha apropiado de un relato mítico de la literatura inglesa y lo ha convertido en un producto «made in U.S.A.». Palabras clave: J.M. Barrie – cine – adaptación – derechos de autor – W. Disney – S. Spielberg Abstract: This paper aims to conduct a comparative study between Peter Pan by the Scottish author J.M.

  • From Braemar to Hollywood: the American Appropriation of Robert Louis Stevenson’S Pirates
    humanities Article From Braemar to Hollywood: The American Appropriation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Pirates Richard J. Hill 1,* and Laura Eidam 2,* 1 English Department, Chaminade University, Honolulu, HI 96816, USA 2 Rare Book School, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.J.H.); [email protected] (L.E.) Received: 30 October 2019; Accepted: 24 December 2019; Published: 11 January 2020 Abstract: The pirate tropes that pervade popular culture today can be traced in large part to Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 novel, Treasure Island. However, it is the novel’s afterlife on film that has generated fictional pirates as we now understand them. By tracing the transformation of the author’s pirate captain, Long John Silver, from N. C. Wyeth’s illustrations (1911) through the cinematic performances of Wallace Beery (1934) and Robert Newton (1950), this paper demonstrates that the films have created a quintessentially “American pirate”—a figure that has necessarily evolved in response to differences in medium, the performances of the leading actors, and filmgoers’ expectations. Comparing depictions of Silver’s dress, physique, and speech patterns, his role vis-à-vis Jim Hawkins, each adaptation’s narrative point of view, and Silver’s departure at the end of the films reveals that while the Silver of the silver screen may appear to represent a significant departure from the text, he embodies a nuanced reworking of and testament to the author’s original. Keywords: Robert Louis Stevenson; Treasure Island; pirate; film; illustration 1. Introduction Piracy has shaped modern America. Four hundred years ago, in late August 1619, the privateer ship White Lion sold several captive Africans from Angola into servitude to the fledgling English colony of Virginia (National Park Service 2019).

  • Individualism and National Identity in Disney's Early British Films
    1 Noel Brown Individualism and National Identity in Disney’s Early British Films Abstract This article centres on a series of live-action Disney movies filmed and set in Britain, and released between the early-1950s and late-1960s: The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men (1952), The Sword and the Rose (1953), Rob Roy, The Highland Rogue (1953), Kidnapped (1960), and The Fighting Prince of Donegal (1966). Through close analysis of this group of films, it examines the extent to which these Anglo-American productions successfully negotiate a mid-Atlantic path between British and North American customs and ideologies, arguing that, while derived from British historical, literary and folktale narratives, ultimately they reflect and embody complex and characteristically American values of freedom and individualism. Keywords Disney, individualism, national identity, 1950s, Britain 2 Noel Brown With the release of Treasure Island (dir. Byron Haskin) in 1950, Disney embarked upon a programme of live-action feature films shot in Britain, and with British subjects. Treasure Island marked the beginning of a very profitable and long-standing preoccupation with ‘Britishness’ for the studio and for its founder, Walt Disney. Representations of Britain and Britishness are recurring presences in many of the studio’s animated films between the 1950s and 1970s, including Alice in Wonderland (Clyde Geronimi et al., 1951), Peter Pan (Geronimi et al., 1953), The Jungle Book (Wolfgang Reitherman et al., 1967), and Robin Hood (Reitherman et al., 1973). Moreover, Disney’s strong interest in Britain extended to filming 15 of its movies in the UK between 1950 and 1979.
