Patriarkernes Fald AUGUST & REFN Patriarkernes fald Bille Augusts og Anders Refnsfilm ligner på mange måder hinanden, er begge stort anlagte, professionelt udførte produktioner med masser for øjet Men er det filmens fremtid, er turen tilbage vej en frem? af Dan Nissen FTVelserens genkomst er det måske 1P ikke, men skulle man gætte ud­ fra spaltemillimeteromfanget af me­ die hype gennem de sidste par år, så er Bille August i hvert fald på ni­ veau. Ingen dansk instruktør er til­ nærmelsesvis blevet medieombejlet som ham og ingen film i nyere tid har fået så megen medieplads som Åndernes hus, der også udløste den helt exceptionelle situation, af rege­ ringen direkte udskrev en check med et øremærket beløb til støtte af filmen. Udenom det af regeringen etablerede filminstitut og de konsu­ lenter der er ansat til at vurdere støtteværdige manuskripter og pro­ jekter. Med de håndører i en internatio­ nal produktion kunne man så også kalde sig coproducent, partner i et projekt med en dansker ved roret, distribueret internationalt af Warner Brothers, styret af den tyske produ­ cent Bernd Eichinger med speciale i internationale højprofilerede og høj- glanspolerede produktioner, med amerikanske og engelske stjerne­ navne foran kameraet og en svensk fotograf bag, med en tysk komponist og basis i en succesroman af den chi­ lenske forfatter Isabel Allende, der i den magiske realismes og familiesa­ gaens form beretter sit lands hi­ storie. At indendørsoptagelserne til dels var henlagt til Danmark gav ikke bare beskæftigelse i den be­ trængt filmbranche, men også i pres­ sen.

Når filmen forsøger sig i det groteske, som i scenen med den gravide Claras søges efter sin mors hovede efter bilulykken, bliver det ikke grotesk, men en søgt effekt, der er ude af trit med filmen i øvrigt. Billedet er simpelthen for realistisk i forhold til bogens henkastede be­ skrivelse af chaufføren der brækker sig, mens Clara med morens hovede i en hatteæske ønsker at blive kørt tilbage: hun skal føde.

  • ICE - Making Predictions
    A ICE - Making Predictions What do the lines, • “What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.” • “Sex without love is an empty gesture. But as empty gestures go, it is one of the best.” and, • “When I was in school, I cheated on my metaphysics exam: I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.” all have in common? The answer is that they were all conceived by writer, actor and director Woody Allen (see Figure 11. Born Allan Stewart Konigsberg on December 1, 1935, in Brooklyn New York, he adopted the name “Woody Allen” in 1952 - a year before graduating from high school. Allen enrolled in NYU and astonishingly (given his long and critically acclaimed career as a film maker) failed the class on motion picture production. After graduating from NYU, Allen made a career as a comedy writer for television programs such as “Your Show of Shows” starring Pat Boone (see Figure 22). Figure 1: Described as a “pale, bespectacled, 120 pound neurotic,” Woody Allen has written, directed or starred in (sometimes all of the above) more than 40 feature films during a career spanning almost than 40 years. 1 Image source: http://www.ibiblio.org/mal/MO/phlim/woody/ 2 Image source: http://pages.prodigy.net/dianamorris/feat1k.htm Allen made his first professional appearance as a comedian in 1960, and between 1964 and 1965 released three comedy albums that were enthusiastically received.

  • Anxiety of Will Kean Reflected in Joan Chen's
    ANXIETY OF WILL KEAN REFLECTED IN JOAN CHEN’S AUTUMN IN NEW YORK MOVIE (2000): A PSYCHOANALYTIC APPROACH RESEARCH PAPER Submitted as Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For Achieving Bachelor Degree of Education by: Danang Santoso A 320 060 160 SCHOOL OF TEACHING TRAINING AND EDUCATION MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA 2010 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study In reality, human being cannot avoid from their needs, there are many kinds of necessities of life that must be fulfilled to survive their life because human as an individual creature that is able to fulfill their needs themselves and to create what they want. When they fulfill their needs, they face the problems which come from themselves. Those problems can derive from both internal factors and external factors. Some individuals may see problems as a challenge and drive them to solve them. Meanwhile some individuals give different views, they may see those problems as a burden and have no clues to solve them. To meet his or her needs, an individual has to adapt himself or herself to the surrounding environment. However it is worth nothing that the environment does not always meet what the individual needs at once. That is to say that the individual has to adjust their instinct that comes from their personality to the reality. When the adjustment is so hard to do, the individual feels uneasy and threatened. Then, such a feeling leads the individual to an anxiety. Anxiety is indeed a psychological problem, for many people.
