Joy Adamson and her beloved, Elsa the lioness 1. I recall as a child being moved by the Born Free TV series in which a British couple raise an orphaned lion cub named Elsa, and eventually release her into the African wilderness. As the story ended, there was an 1. image of Elsa and another lion, as well as three cubs, on a rock while the couple looked on in sadness from a jeep. The music Born Free started to play and the credits rolled as it was to be the last time these two would see their beloved Elsa. It always made me tear up a bit, but I never really knew the story behind it, until now! What I thought was a fiction is actually based on a real story. It begins in Kenya in 1956 when George Adamson, a British wildlife conservationist and game warden, was forced to kill a lioness that was charging towards him. After he shoots the lioness, 1. Joy and the orphaned cubs Adamson realizes that it was a mama trying to protect her three young cubs. George feels guilty and vows to take care of the little ones. He brings home the orphaned cubs (4 days old) and, along with his wife, Joy, raises them. As the lions grow, they send the largest two to the Rotterdam Zoo while the smallest of the litter, Elsa (Joy’s favorite), remains with the Adamson’s. The Adamson’s bonded with Elsa and loved her dearly as if she was their child. In itself this plot doesn’t sound overly remarkable, but it had a profound effect on the rest of the world as Elsa’s story, told through Born Free, changed the way people perceived lions. They were George Adamson and Elsa previously thought to be wild beasts that were unfeeling, killing machines. But George and Joy showed the world that, given love and respect, lions are capable of a far wider range of behaviors than typically believed. The Adamson’s relationship with Elsa demonstrated that lions are capable of trust, friendship, and love. The Adamson’s reared Elsa, training her to survive on her own. She was eventually released into the wild and although George and Joy would get periodic sightings of her, she lived the life of a free lioness. Incredibly, when she was three, Elsa brought her own cubs to the Reserve to show George and Joy. Elsa’s life was cut short in 1956 by Babesia felis (a tick born blood disease). She was buried in Meru National Park. A makeshift tombstone bearing the inscription “Elsa Jan. 1956 to Jan. 1961” marks her grave. As for George and Joy, they were warned by many to stay away from lions and that they would eventually be killed. They were! But not by the lions they worked with; Joy was murdered by a disgruntled employee and George was murdered years later by poachers.

  • Tony Montana's Paradise Pie in Scarface Kim
    The World Is Yours: Tony Montana’s Paradise Pie in Scarface Kim Nicolini (LONG MESSY UNCUT VERSION OF THE ESSAY) In Harmony Korine’s recent film Spring Breakers (2012), the film’s central anti-hero “Alien” dies face down on a dock during a shootout with a rival gang in St. Petersburg, Florida. Alien is a complete American mash-up -- a white guy who talks, acts and raps like a black man; a self-created gangster who was born poor and made his way to the American Dream by dealing in drugs and firearms. In one scene, he brings the four young white girls who star in the film to his house, and he boasts about all his material acquisitions. “Look at all my shit!” he says, walking through his sprawling house on the Florida coast and showing off everything from his gun collection to his alien- shaped bong to his designer sneakers. "This is my fuckin' dream y'all. I got shit! I got fuckin' shorts y'all! I got Scarface on repeat y'all! I got Calvin Klein Escape!" The girls are in awe that Scarface plays repeat, and they acknowledge it as the greatest movie ever. Never mind Calvin Klein. Never mind Nike tennis shoes. It’s Scarface that counts. When Alien dies at the end of Spring Breakers, the effect on the audience is not unlike that of the death of his hero Tony Montana at the end of Scarface. We find that against everything we think we believe in, we care about this gangster a lot more than we think we should or could.

    1 Yeşim Yiğitbaşı 20201701044 KHAS130 Video Essay Script 24.05.2021 Description: A short video essay on the use of costume in Brian De Palma’s 1983 film, Scarface. See link below. Link to video: https://youtu.be/97pVVyuvZRE Meaning of costumes in Scarface (1983) [ME] Have you ever heard about Al Pacino’s Scarface (1983)? Even if you haven’t watched it, you would probably recognize this scene and this quote. [Tony Montana] The eyes chico they never lie. [ME] Or this scene and the quote. [TONY MONTANA] Say hello to my little friend! [ME] Scarface directed by Brian De Palma tells the story about a Cuban guy, Tony Montana who builds a drug empire in Miami. In this video essay I want to talk about the meaning of costumes in Scarface, how costumes reveal or conceal a character’s personality and personal life and how they give hints about the events that will happen throughout the movie. Let’s get started. Al Pacino’s character Tony Montana… his clothes definitely reveal him and his lifestyle. He is an immigrant from Cuba in America. He wears casual clothes at the beginning of the 2 movie like colorful flowery shirts, loose pants, he seems normal. However, the scar on his face shows his unsurprising secrets. He doesn’t tell how got the scar but according to his actions and killings throughout the movie it is most likely that he got the scar in a bad fight. Even if the scenario of the movie makes the audience sympathize with him, he is a bad guy.
