Lonesome Jim (2005) - Blogg Anmeldelse Gjemmestedet Gjemmestedet Innlegg Kategorier Forfattere Om Lonesome Jim (2005) - Blogg anmeldelse Gjemmestedet Småbyer, dysfunksjonelle familier og problematiske ungdomsår har vært et populært tema i amerikansk Dato lm den siste tiden, og da særlig den uavhengige 4. juli 2006 delen. Man kan fort bli lei av syting og klaging over hjembyen; det skjer aldri noe, mor og far er teite også videre, samtidig som det er utrolig hvor mye Forfatter som plutselig skjer bare du treffer den riktige jenta, nner ut at broren din er mer mislykket enn deg og djtokyoboogie innser at mor og far ikke er så ille allikevel. Uansett må jeg innrømme at slike historier ofte er de som føles mer ekte og er lettere å identisere seg med Kategori enn mer karikerte amerikanske samfunn man ofte Anmeldelse ser på lm. Kanskje det rett og slett skyldes at jeg selv har vokst opp på bygda, men jeg tror i dette tilfellet det skyldes like mye et godt manus, velutviklete karakterer og ikke minst god regi. Tittelens Jim er Jim Roush som vender tilbake til småbyen han vokste opp i, etter å ha mislykkes på egen hånd i New York. Han hadde planer om et nervøst sammenbrudd, men oppdager fort at broren har Les mer kommet ham i forkjøpet. I hjembyen er alt som før, og det er tydelig at dette er den absolutte siste utvei for Jim. Han er i en evig diskusjon med sin bror om Forrige: hvem som er mest mislykket ("I mean, I'm a fuck-up, but you're a goddamn Piratprat: Pirates of the tragedy"), har en mor som klemmer og koser unormalt mye og en, vel, ganske Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest normal far som ikke blander seg inn altfor mye. Ikke minst har Jim en onkel som insisterer på å bli kalt Evil, selger dop fra fabrikken som Jims far eier og heller Neste: kjøper horer enn å ha kjærester fordi det er så mye billigere. Så skjer det Kort og godt. Samlepost #15 uungåelige, Jim treffer sykepleieren Anika og blir selvsagt forelsket. Plutselig ser han muligheter for et bedre liv han ikke trodde fantes, men som det meste annet i hans liv klarer hans egen negative innstilling å skape problemer her også. Kanskje ikke den mest spennende handlingen sier du, men for min del var dette et av årets klare høydepunkt og kan fort dukke opp på listen når året skal summeres. Det handler følgelig om det tragiske og det komiske, og hvordan tragedie kan bli komedie. Er alt så håpløst som Jim vil ha det til? Er håpløsheten hans mer et prinsipp enn en ærlig overbevisning? Det kan virke sånn når han for eksempel indirekte driver sin egen bror til et mislykket selvmordsforsøk. Dette blir starten på en rekke hendelser der Jim ser seg nødt til å ta ansvar for familien, enten han vil eller ei. Som han sier selv, han elsker dem til døde men klarer ikke samværet. En av lmens store styrker er nettopp manuset. Dette er James C. Strouses debut som manusforfatter, og han har skrevet et manus som inneholder velutviklete karakterer, noen fantastiske komiske ideer og akkurat passe seriøsitet til at alt av eventuelle nybegynnerfeil gikk meg hus forbi, som det så nt heter. Alt dette i tillegg til en n balanse mellom det tragiske og det komiske, styrkes gjennom Steve Buscemis regi. Han klarer å holde denne balansen i sjakk hos skuespillerne som på sin side viser en flott timing. I tillegg er lmen klippet på en slik måte som også styrker hver scene. Det er mulig jeg er litt overengasjert nå, men det er ikke ofte man legger så mye merke til disse tingene. Som regel er det replikkene man ler og gråter av, men her synes jeg alt det andre som også er viktig for at en lm skal fungere er på plass. Buscemi har bevist denne evnen før, da kanskje særlig i debutlmen Trees Lounge [IMDb], men også i Sopranos-episoden "Pine Barrens" [IMDb] hvor drap blir gøy og moro. Lonesome Jim er skutt på video (av økonomiske årsaker først og fremst) og dette fungerer absolutt til lmens fordel. Den kan virke noe kornete i begynnelsen, men dette er aldri noe problem og lmen er heldigvis milevis unna en dogmelm. Video skaper ekstra dynamikk i små rom og mange av scenene understrekes ekstra. Badekarscenen med mor i begynnelsen og scenene hjemme hos Onkel Evil er gode eksempler på scener som blir ekstra klaustrofobiske med bruk av mini-DV, som faktisk er brukt mye i lmen. Skuespillerne skal også ha stor honnør. Casey Affleck er verdensmester i å se matalei og trøtt ut, Liv Tyler er akkurat passe søt og disse har god kjemi seg imellom. Buscemi-kompisene Seymour Cassel og Mark Boone Junior overgår nærmest seg selv som henholdsvis far og onkel. Så er det selvfølgelig mamma Sally, og jeg tror det er få som kan være mer glad i barna sine enn Mary Kay Place. I tillegg til dette, en gjeng med herlige barneskuespillere. God musikk i indielm har blitt en tradisjon og det er inget unntak denne gangen. Evan Lurie laget også musikken til Trees Lounge og lmen består av behagelig musikk som står i n stil til resten av lmen. Det faktum at lmen har et minimalt budsjett (rundt $500 000) og skutt på kun 16 dager og på samme tid kan virke herlig upretensiøs men samtidig svært så ryddig, står det stor respekt av. Høye forventninger til tross, Lonesome Jim er årets store overraskelse selv om den er aldri så liten..

  • FROM the CINEMA SCREEN to the SMARTPHONE: a Study of the Impact of Media Convergence on the Distribution Sector of American Independent Cinema 2006 – 2010
    FROM THE CINEMA SCREEN TO THE SMARTPHONE: A study of the impact of media convergence on the distribution sector of American independent cinema 2006 – 2010 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Hayley Trowbridge. September 2014 (initial submission) April 2015 (final submission) Thesis Number: 20120341 ABSTRACT FROM THE CINEMA SCREEN TO THE SMARTPHONE: A study of the impact of media convergence on the distribution sector of American independent cinema 2006 – 2010 Hayley Trowbridge Film distribution has undoubtedly changed during this contemporary era of media convergence, with a range of innovative practices and methods being adopted across US film and the arrival of new organisations to the industry and distribution sector. This should not suggest that conventional distribution and marketing methods are extinct, or that the traditional gatekeepers of these fields are obsolete. Rather it should indicate a merging of old and new strategies, practices, methods, and organisations, and it is through this fusion of tradition and novelty that today’s complex distribution landscape has emerged. At the forefront of many of these changes has been American independent cinema and as such, the central question posed by this thesis is: how has media convergence impacted on the distribution and marketing of American independent cinema, and how can this impact be understood in terms of wider technological, industrial and sociocultural contexts relevant to the current media landscape? In answering this, this thesis provides a comprehensive re-mapping of the distribution sector of American independent cinema, in terms of the distributors involved and methods and strategies through which films are being released, within this contemporary era of media convergence.

  • Frozen River Film Production Notes
    S Y N O P S I S FROZEN RIVER is the story about Ray Eddy, an upstate New York trailer mom, who smuggles illegal immigrants from Canada into the United States over a Mohawk Indian Reservation. Normally a timid and reserved woman, Ray begins smuggling illegal immigrants as the only way to keep her family together after her husband takes off with the family’s down-payment for their new doublewide dream home. In order to make the money in time, Ray teams up with a Mohawk smuggler, Lila Littlewolf, and the two begin making runs across the frozen St. Lawrence River carrying illegal Chinese and Pakistani immigrants in the trunk of Ray’s Dodge Spirit. At the onset, Ray and Lila’s partnership seems doomed to failure as Lila normally doesn’t “work with whites,” but Lila’s eagerness to get her baby son back from her mother-in-law who has “stolen” him, lead Lila and Ray into an uneasy partnership. At first the money is good and the ice holds. With help from Jimmy, the Mohawk dealer, they make several runs and soon the money for Ray’s doublewide is within her grasp. As quickly as things began to go well, the entire scheme is threatened as the home life of each woman threatens to wreck their plan. T.J., Ray’s 15-year-old son, struggles to take care of the house and hold things together for his younger brother Ricky, while mom is “at work.” And Bernie, Lila’s friend, tries to find her a straight job on the Reservation so that she can get out of smuggling and reclaim her baby son.

  • Lonesome Jim + Romance & Cigarettes + Hail, Caesar!
    Gjemmestedet Innlegg Kategorier Forfattere Om Lonesome Jim + Romance & Blogg Cigarettes + Hail, Caesar! Gjemmestedet Det ene leder til det andre... Dato Jeg er stor fan av Steve Buscemi. Primært som 8. september 2005 skuespiller, men nå har han vist seg å være en svært så habil regissør også. Hans debut som regissør, Trees Lounge [IMDb], er en liten perle og Forfatter også den oversette Animal Factory [IMDb] er fantastisk bra. I tillegg har han regien på et par fantastiske episoder av The djtokyoboogie Sopranos [IMDb], inkludert manges favorittepisode Pine Barrens. Nå er han klar med sin tredje lm som regissør, Lonesome Jim (tidligere nevnt av gbang her), med Casey Affleckog Liv Tyler. Den har allerede rukket å bli en festivalfavoritt, og jeg håper det ikke blir altfor lenge til jeg får muligheten til å se den. Traileren ser du her og det har også dukket opp to lmklipp. Les mer Apropos Buscemi og The Sopranos... Forrige: Kim Ki-duk bråker ikke En annen skuespiller jeg respekterer er John Turturro som også har to lmer bak kamera på Neste: samvittigheten, nemlig Mac[IMDb] og Illuminata En fake trailer og mer Serenity [IMDb]. Nå er hans nyeste lm, Romance & Cigarettes, endelig klar. Den kan skilte med navn som James Gandolni, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, Steve Buscemi og Christopher Walken. Sterkt! Det beste av alt er at det ifølge IMDb er en "down-and-dirty musical". Man kan si hva man vil om musicals, men en musical med en så bra samling av skuespillere må bare bli bra. Den har ingen trailer ennå, men det har dukket opp et klipp fra lmen med Sarandon og Walken.
