From: Reviews and Criticism of Vietnam War Theatrical and Television Dramas ( Compiled by John K From: Reviews and Criticism of Vietnam War Theatrical and Television Dramas (http://www.lasalle.edu/library/vietnam/FilmIndex/home.htm) compiled by John K. McAskill, La Salle University ([email protected]) D5740 DIRTY HARRY (USA, 1971) (Other titles: Un salaud de flic; Smerige klabak) Credits: director, Don Siegel ; writers, Harry Hulian Fink, Rita M. Fink. Cast: Clint Eastwood, Reni Santoni, Harry Guardino, Andy Robinson. Summary: Police film set in contemporary San Francisco. Harry Callahan (Eastwood) is a tough streetwise San Francisco cop who is called Dirty Harry for his violent inclinations and unorthodox methods. A rooftop psychopathic killer (and Vietnam vet) named Scorpio, who has already murdered two people, kidnaps a girl and threatens to kill her unless the city pays his ransom demand. Callahan acts without a warrant to find the girl (who is dead), but the killer is released because of Callahan’s warrantless search. The killer next hijacks a school bus full of children, demanding another ransom and a getaway plane. Callahan rescues the children and shoots the killer as he attempts to surrender. As other police arrive, Callahan contemptuously throws away his badge. Agan, Patrick. Clint Eastwood: the man behind the myth New York : Pyramid, 1975.

  • Die Invasion Der Barbaren Gedanken Zur Re-Mythisierung Hollywoods in Den 1980Er-Jahren
    Die Invasion der Barbaren Gedanken zur Re-Mythisierung Hollywoods in den 1980er-Jahren Marcus Stiglegger, Berlin 1. Wenn ich zurückdenke an das Jahr 1982 – ich war gerade 11 Jahre alt –, muss ich sagen, dass Conan für kurze Zeit zu meinem Mentor wurde. Ich durfte den Film mit Arnold Schwar- zenegger damals noch nicht sehen und sammelte daher verzweifelt alle Artikel über John Milius’ CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982), die ich finden konnte. So kaufte ich mein erstes Cinema-Heft und meine erste Bravo-Ausgabe, denn beide berichteten ausführlich über den archaischen Barbaren. Und welche Freude war es, als der Heyne Verlag mit seiner Veröf- fentlichung der Conan-Stories und -Romane begann, die jeweils mit einem Filmfoto auf dem Cover erschienen. Diese blassgelben Buchrücken schmücken noch heute mein Lesezimmer. Conan kam damals zur richtigen Zeit: mit der wachsenden Popularität von J. R. R. Tolkiens Herr der Ringe-Romantrilogie und dem gleichnamigen Animationsfilm von Ralph Bakshi aus dem Jahr 1979, mit John Boormans 1981 gestarteter Neuinterpretation des Arthus-Mythos’ in EXCALIBUR und Terry Gilliams TIME BANDITS (1981). Es folgten THE DRAGON SLAYER (1982) von Matthew Robbins, FIRE AND ICE (1983) von Ralph Bakshi, THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982) von Jim Hanson und Frank Oz, LEGEND (1983) von Ridley Scott und aus Deutsch- land DIE UNENDLICHE GESCHICHTE (1984) von Wolfgang Petersen. Und nicht nur das Kino feierte die Phantasie, auch das Table-Top-Rollenspiel Dungeons & Dragons hatte damals eine Hochphase. Tolkiens Mittelerde hatte sich bereits in der Hippie-Ära der frühen 1970er-Jahre großer Beliebtheit erfreut, Studierendenkreise ebenso inspiriert wie esoterische Beschäfti- gung angestoßen. Pen-and-Paper-Rollenspiele etablierten sich als Gruppenerlebnis, und schon in den 1970er-Jahren musste man von einem Revival jener Fantasy-Literatur sprechen, die eigentlich einer anderen Ära entstammte: den krisengeplagten 1930er-Jahren mit ihren ‚Weird Tales‘ und weiteren frühen Fantasy-Magazinen.

    Bologna, Sotto dal 4 luglio al 1° settembre le stelle Piazza Maggiore e BarcArena del Cinema ore 21.30 molte coscienze, trasformando il film in terreno di scontro. La stroncatura Domenica 12 luglio 2020 più celebre, dell’influentissima Pauline Kael, bollava senza mezzi termini Dirty Harry come apologia del fascismo. [...] Serata promossa da L’infuocato dibattito ideologico attorno al film si comprende meglio se in- serito nel clima dell’epoca, segnato da rivolte studentesche, cultura hippy sulla cresta dell’onda, guerra in Vietnam vicina allo sfascio: Ispettore Cal- Polizieschi urbani laghan emerge come oggetto scomodo, in cui si afferma il desiderio di un punto fermo virile e forcaiolo in mezzo alle incertezze sociali. Al tempo ISPETTORE CALLAGHAN: stesso, la figura di Callaghan si staglia come angelo della vendetta fuori IL CASO SCORPIO È TUO dalla storia, attraversato da pulsioni di morte eterne e universali. Il detecti- ve di Eastwood, insomma, sembra trarre forza dal convergere di un alone (Dirty Harry, USA/1971) mitizzante e di un tratteggio realistico preciso, in un’oscillazione che con- tribuisce ad arricchire la complessa riflessione sulla violenza che altri film, Regia: Don Siegel. Soggetto: Harry Julian Fink, Rita M. Fink. Sceneggiatura: nello stesso 1971, stanno intraprendendo: Il braccio violento della legge di Harry Julian Fink, Rita M. Fink, Dean Riesner.

Interpreti: Clint Eastwood (Harry Callahan), Harry Guardino Ferme restando le posizioni etiche dei vari commentatori, quasi tutti si (Bressler), Andy Robinson (Scorpio), Reni Santoni (Chico Sanchez), John sono trovati d’accordo sulla potenza visiva e narrativa del film, tra gli esiti Vernon (il sindaco), John Larch (il capo della polizia), John Mitchum più alti di un regista che ha sempre fatto dell’efficacia una virtù stilistica.

  • Apocalypse Now
    Sabrina Baiguera Università degli Studi di Bergamo Letteratura Anglo-americana LMI A.A. 2011/2012 Paolo Jachia’s Francis Ford Coppola: Apocalypse Now. Un’analisi semiotica , an intertextual reconstruction of the texts, of the cultural references that lie behind the film. Apocalypse Now (1979) Two versions: the orginal version (1979) and the extended version ( Apocalypse Now Redux: 2001 ), released in 2001. The film is set during the Vietnam war (the action takes place approximately in 1970) It tells the story of U.S. Army Captain Benjamin L. Willard who has the mission to proceed up the Nung river into Cambodia, find Colonel Kurtz and “terminate” his command, by whatever means available. Willard starts a journey up the Nung river on a PBR (Petrol Boat) with a four- man crew (Chef – a saucier; Chief – the chief of the boat; Clean – a 17 year- old young from Bronx; Lance – a professional surfer). Kurtz had deserted the U.S. Army to start his own private war in the middle of the jungle. There he is worshipped as a god by his own Montagnard army, but he has gone insane and his methods are “unsound”. The artistic dimension Source texts of Apocalypse Now : 1. Joseph Conrad’s novella Heart of Darkness (1899) 2. James G. Frazer’s The Golden Bough (1890) 3. Jessie Weston’s From ritual to romance (1920) 4. Goethe’s Faust (1808) 5. The Holy Bible 6. T.S.Eliot’s The Waste Land (1922) and The Hollow Men (1925) 7. Baudelaire’s The Albatross (1861) 8. The Doors’ The End Heart of Darkness (1899) “In the case of “Apocalypse,” there was a script written by the great John Milius, but, I must say, what I really made the film from was the little green copy of Heart of Darkness that I had done all those lines in.” (Coppola) Heart of Darkness was not credited as a source text when the film first came out.

  • Bullitt, Blow-Up, & Other Dynamite Movie Posters of the 20Th Century
    1632 MARKET STREET SAN FRANCISCO 94102 415 347 8366 TEL For immediate release Bullitt, Blow-Up, & Other Dynamite Movie Posters of the 20th Century Curated by Ralph DeLuca July 21 – September 24, 2016 FraenkelLAB 1632 Market Street FraenkelLAB is pleased to present Bullitt, Blow-Up, & Other Dynamite Movie Posters of the 20th Century, curated by Ralph DeLuca, from July 21 through September 24, 2016. Beginning with the earliest public screenings of films in the 1890s and throughout the 20th century, the design of eye-grabbing posters played a key role in attracting moviegoers. Bullitt, Blow-Up, & Other Dynamite Movie Posters at FraenkelLAB focuses on seldom-exhibited posters that incorporate photography to dramatize a variety of film genres, from Hollywood thrillers and musicals to influential and experimental films of the 1960s-1990s. Among the highlights of the exhibition are striking and inventive posters from the mid-20th century, including the classic films Gilda, Niagara, The Searchers, and All About Eve; Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious, Rear Window, and Psycho; and B movies Cover Girl Killer, Captive Wild Woman, and Girl with an Itch. On view will be many significant posters from the 1960s, such as Russ Meyer’s cult exploitation film Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!; Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-Up; a 1968 poster for the first theatrical release of Un Chien Andalou (Dir. Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí, 1928); and a vintage Japanese poster for Buñuel’s Belle de Jour.

  • APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX Written by John Milius & Francis Ford
    APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX Written by John Milius & Francis Ford Coppola FADE IN: EXT. A SIMPLE IMAGE OF TREES - DAY Coconut trees being VIEWED through the veil of time or a dream. Occasionally colored smoke wafts through the FRAME, yellow and then violet. MUSIC begins quietly, suggestive of 1968-69. Perhaps "The End" by the Doors. Now MOVING through the FRAME are skids of helicopters, not that we could make them out as that though; rather, hard shapes that glide by at random. Then a phantom helicopter in FULL VIEW floats by the trees-suddenly without warning, the jungle BURSTS into a bright red-orange glob of napalm flame. The VIEW MOVES ACROSS the burning trees as the smoke ghostly helicopters come and go. DISSOLVE TO: INT. SAIGON HOTEL - DAY A CLOSE SHOT, upside down of the stubble-covered face of a young man. His EYES OPEN...this is B.L. WILLARD. Intense and dissipated. The CAMERA MOVES around to a side view as he continues to look up at a ROTATING FAN on the ceiling. EXT. IMAGES OF HELICOPTERS - DAY They continue to fly slowly, peacefully across the burning jungle. The colored smoke comes and goes. Morrison continues with "The End". INT. SAIGON HOTEL - DAY The CAMERA MOVES slowly across the room...and we SEE WILLARD, a young army captain. He looks out the window to the busy Saigon street. WILLARD (V.O.) * Saigon...shit. I'm only in Saigon. Every time, I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle. He moves back to the bed, lies down.

  • Allen Rostron, the Law and Order Theme in Political and Popular Culture
    OCULREV Fall 2012 Rostron 323-395 (Do Not Delete) 12/17/2012 10:59 AM OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW VOLUME 37 FALL 2012 NUMBER 3 ARTICLES THE LAW AND ORDER THEME IN POLITICAL AND POPULAR CULTURE Allen Rostron I. INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.
