Falling Skies (2011) Una Serie Di Fantascienza Ambientata Nel Futuro in Cui L'elemento Chiave È Il Passato Falling Skies (2011) Una serie di fantascienza ambientata nel futuro in cui l'elemento chiave è il passato. Un film di Robert Rodat con Seychelle Gabriel, Moon Bloodgood, Noah Wyle, Dale Dye, Drew Roy, Jessy Schram, Adam Butcher, Wesley Morgan, Devon Richards, Maxim Knight. Genere Fantascienza Produzione USA, Canada 2011. Un gruppo di uomini dovrà affrontare un'invasione aliena. Mattia Nicoletti - www.mymovies.it In un mondo apocalittico invaso dagli alieni, un gruppo di sopravvissuti deve affrontare nel quotidiano la continua minaccia extraterrestre. Tom Mason, professore di storia e padre di famiglia, è incaricato di badare ai civili mentre i militari con la loro disciplina comandano la situazione. In uno scontro di ideali, gli uomini si trovano a combattere due guerre. La mano di Spielberg, in veste di produttore in questa apparente 'Guerra dei Mondi' seriale c'è e si vede. Il suo amore per l'umanità e per i giovani (lui che si sente un eterno bambino), per i valori e per gli ideali, sono la base di quello che può essere definito un social drama post-apocalittico. Come in 'The Walking Dead' infatti, gli alieni sono un contorno, questa volta pensante e non istintivo, che conducono un micromondo, quello dei sopravvissuti, a implodere. 'Falling Skies' però rivaluta il valore della storia e dei corsi e ricorsi storici, e nel futuro prossimo riporta lo spettatore a ciò che l'uomo ha costruito o distrutto nel passato. "Noi siamo come i native american" viene detto a un certo punto, per mettere l'accento sulla storia statunitense. È qui che 'Falling Skies' fa la differenza. In una serie di fantascienza, quindi ambientata in un futuro che non c'è, l'elemento chiave è il passato, ciò che è stato. La storia è il futuro, capace anche di dirci se i cieli ci cadranno veramente addosso.I PERSONAGGI Tom Mason (Noah Wyle): Ha perso la moglie uccisa dagli alieni e ora si trova a dover crescere tre figli, di cui uno, Ben, rapito dagli extraterrestri. È un uomo più di teoria che di pratica, e si fa forza seguendo i corsi e ricorsi della storia che amava insegnare prima dell'invasione. È l'alter ego del Capitano Weaver. Capitano Weaver (Will Patton): Comandante in capo dei sopravvissuti è un militare vecchia maniera che considera i civili più un peso che uomini di supporto. È in conflitto con le idee di Mason che trova troppo teoriche. Anne Glass (Moon Bloodgood): Pediatra prima dell'invasione è ora per destinazione il medico dei sopravvissuti. Ha perso il marito e il figlio e si dedica totalmente ai civili. Ha un ottimo rapporto con Mason. John Pope (Colin Cunningham): Capo di una gang di sopravvissuti tiene in ostaggio Tom, Karen, Hal e altri due uomini per ottenere in cambio armi e cibo. Hal Mason (Drew Roy): Diciassettenne figlio di Tom Mason, aiuta il padre in alcune missioni. È istintivo e sempre disposto a entrare in azione, soprattutto per aiutare la propria famiglia. Karen Nadler (Jessy Schram): Fidanzata di Hal, ha perso la famiglia a causa degli alieni. IN TELEVISIONEIn America il primo episodio di 'Falling Skies' è andato in onda il 19 giugno del 2011 su TNT ed è stato visto da 5,9 milioni di spettatori. In Italia è andato in onda in prima visione assoluta su Fox dal 5 luglio 2011.IL CONSIGLIOSe ti piace 'Falling Skies' ti consigliamo di vedere anche 'The Walking Dead', 'Jericho', 'Visitors'. copyright© 2000- 2021 MYmovies.it® - Mo-Net S.r.l. - [email protected].

  • Into the Woods
    Into the Woods Fairy Tales & the Stories They Tell UNIV 1784-14 Fall 2015 [Thursdays 3:30-4:20] Dr. Susanna Cowan are evidence that the familiar tales of witches, sorcery (both good and evil), dark woods, vir- ginal young women and brave rescuers still at- tract audiences even hundreds of years after their earliest versions circulated the villages and towns of northern Europe, Asia and Africa on the lips of storytellers. In this course we’ll try figure out just what it is about these stories that we have found so com- pelling across the centuries and across so many cultures and retellings. Is it the “timeless” themes? Is it the happy endings? (Are they al- ways happy?) Do the anxieties of fairy tales (evil step-mothers, poison apples, dangerous forests, etc.) still somehow speak to us in 2015? In order to answer these questions, we’ll keep ourselves busy reading stories (old and new), watching films (old and new) and considering what a few fairy tale “experts” have to say. Be prepared for non-stop but quick reading and a fair bit of out-of-class film watching so that we Into the Woods (The Plot)… have plenty to talk about. Assignments will vary from regular short journal Into the woods. Again. And again and -like writing assignments to a brief midterm again. The infatuation with and hunger for group presentation, and a final analytical and/or fairy tale plots, characters and settings seems creative project of your own devising. There will insatiable and ubiquitous. They are the stuff be plenty of room for imaginative reflection in of our daily lives.

  • Dressing in American Telefantasy
    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Stripping the Body in Contemporary Popular Media: the value of (un)dressing in American Telefantasy MANJREE KHAJANCHI, Independent Researcher ABSTRACT Research perspectives on identity and the relationship between dress and body have been frequently studied in recent years (Eicher and Roach-Higgins, 1992; Roach-Higgins and Eicher, 1992; Entwistle, 2003; Svendsen, 2006). This paper will make use of specific and detailed examples from the television programmes Once Upon a Time (2011- ), Falling Skies (2011- ), Fringe (2008- ) and Game of Thrones (2011- ) to discover the importance of dressing and accessorizing characters to create humanistic identities in Science Fiction and Fantastical universes. These shows are prime case studies of how the literal dressing and undressing of the body, as well as the aesthetic creation of television worlds (using dress as metaphor), influence perceptions of personhood within popular media programming. These four shows will be used to examine three themes in this paper: (1) dress and identity, (2) body and world transformations, and (3) (non-)humanness. The methodological framework of this article draws upon existing academic literature on dress and society, combined with textual analysis of the aforementioned Telefantasy shows, focussing primarily on the three themes previously mentioned. This article reveals the role transformations of the body and/or the world play in American Telefantasy, and also investigates how human and near-human characters and settings are fashioned. This will invariably raise questions about what it means to be human, what constitutes belonging to society, and the connection that dress has to both of these concepts. KEYWORDS Aesthetics, Body, Dress, Falling Skies, Fringe, Game of Thrones, Identity, Once Upon a Time, Telefantasy.
