Foreign Language Film Festival 2006-2007 Big Wednesday About the movie DIRECTOR John Milius YEAR / COUNTRY 1978 USA GENRE Comedy/drama ACTORS Jan-Michael Vincent, William Katt, Gary Busey PLOT The film spans the period from 1962 to 1974 and is set on the coast of California. It focuses on the lives of three friends who have in common a passion for surfing, a passion that is so great that it holds their friendship together. The water, the waves, the ocean, and everything connected to surfing is a mean through which they can express life’s joys and problems. The music of the 60’s and 70’s as well as the social and political problems of America at that time also provide a backdrop for the film. As they get older certainly their ability to surf well goes down, but their passion for everything connected to surfing never diminishes. The photography of waves and surfers is wonderful. LANGUAGE The language is relatively easy. A few terms in the slang of the time related to surfing are used but the film in general can be understood quite easily. VOCABULARY To pass out: to faint Tuxedo: formal black suit Board: surf board To do something ‘come hell or high water’: to do something whatever happens Ho-dad: a beginner A brace: a metal support for a leg To paddle: in this case, to row with your hands You’re picking on me: you are being hostile with me A hooter: a party Curfew: coprifuoco Chivalry: cavallieria To ditch school: not to go to school when you should A swell: a series of big waves To stretch it: to exaggerate, in this case in terms of spending Wise ass: an arrogant persons who causes Bad karma: a bad feeling problems Hog: a big pig Footage: film coverage Crashers: unexpected people who cause He’s all screwed up: he has lots of problems problems at parties A chicken: a coward Candy man: drug dealer To split: to go away Chicks: girls To cool it: to calm down and stop doing something Bone yard: cemetery Condemn the pier: to order the demolition of the To stand up for: to defend someone or something ‘molo’ To stuff it: to stop it A place to crash: a place to eat Draft notice: notice saying that you must join the Outrageous: fantastic army .

Cused, and Mason Takes the Case. As Evidence Mounts Against His
PERRY MASON 1241 happens, an innocent person (most often a woman) is ac- cused, and Mason takes the case. As evidence mounts against ,v his client, Mason pulls out a legal maneuver involving some courtroom "pyrotechnics." This not only proves his client innocent, but identifies the real culprit. These scenes are easily the best and most memorab e. It is not because they ja are realistic. On the contrary, they are hardly that. What is so engaging about them is the combination of Mason's efforts to free his client, perhaps a surprise witness brought in by Drake in the closing courtroom scene, and a dramatic courtroom confession. The murderer being in the court- room during the trial and not hiding out in the Bahamas provides the single most important image of each episode. The murderer forgoes the fifth amendment and admits his/her guilt in an often tearful outburst of"I did it! And I'm glad I did!" This happens under the shocked, amazed eyes of district attorney Burger and the stoic, sure face of defense . - attorney Mason. A Although it is often identified with other lawyer dramas .,. such as L. A. Law and The Defenders, Perry Mason is more ro' " of a detective series. Each episode is a carefully structured detective puzzle that both established and perpetuated a number of conventions associated with most television de- tective series. Perry Mason uses the legal profession and the trial situation as a forum for detective work. Although strictly formulaic, each episode is guided by the elements of the variations that distinguish one episode from another.
