    FILM REVIEW Moonlight, Directed by Barry Jenkins, USA, Altitude Films

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF JUNGIAN STUDIES, 2018 VOL. 10, NO. 1, 83–89 FILM REVIEW Moonlight, directed by Barry Jenkins, USA, Altitude Films, 2016, 1 hour 55 minutes Spring is often synonymous with Oscar season, but it is some considered reflection on the 2017 Best Picture that is necessary one year on. If it is news to you that Moonlight won the Oscar last year, then you are not alone. It is certainly among the least-marketed Oscar winners in recent decades. If you do know about the film, it is likely that it is in the context of its two-way fight for the prize with another more popular film, or perhaps from news coverage of a dramatic mishap on Oscars’ night. The film was the modern musical La La Land and the mix-up was the result of the wrong envelope being given and that the film’s name being read out instead of the winner Moonlight. A male employee from PricewaterhouseCooper’s – who administer the envelopes – is thought to have mistakenly given a duplicate Best Actress envelope (already won by Emma Stone for La La Land) to Warren Beatty. In a familiar commentary on the expectations social media places on creative industries personnel, it is possible the employee, Brian Cullinan, could have been distracted by his Tweeted picture of Stone moments before handing over the envelope. The event overshadowed much mainstream serious discussion of the film and did little to tempt staunch supporters of La La Land to see it. There are films that are designed to win Oscars and appeal to the middle-range, but it is difficult to suggest Moonlight is one of them, even with some of its missed opportunities to push the envelope of homosexual encoun- ters than those previously seen on mainstream US silver screens.

    2009 • 7 Sports Added in the Last Two Seasons Semester

    A staple in the New York region and an emerging program on the national stage, the Manhattanville College Athletic Department continues to bolster its reputation as a program on the rise in all areas: athletic achievement, academic success and overall participation. A program-record 305 Valiant student-athletes (nearly 20 percent of the student body) took part in intercollegiate athletics during the 2008- 09 season, showcasing the continued and rapid growth of athletics at Manhattanville. Following the successful integration of the men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track teams last season, the program has expanded to a record 21 intercollegiate teams – including seven new teams established in the last two years alone. And teams at Manhattanville do not just compete, they win. Three Valiant squads (men’s basketball, baseball and men’s tennis) earned Freedom Conference regular-season championships in 2008-09 and both the men’s and women’s hockey teams spent much of the year with national rankings. Sixteen of 21 Valiant teams earned berths in their respective conference tournaments last year, including four conference championship game appearances. In all, Manhattanville teams posted an impressive .548 winning percentage (184-151-6) last season, with two Valiants teams also setting new program records for wins in a single season. On an individual level, many Valiant student-athletes were honored in 2008-09 as well. Men’s hockey forward Chris Trafford and women’s hockey center Holly Nonis became the 15th and 16th Valiants to earn All-American honors following the season, while the pair were two of four players to be named conference Player of the Year.

    Education Secretary Praises Foundation In area visit, Riley calls teacher program a model for success By Lanning Taliaferro, Staff Writer, Gannett Newspapers Thursday, May 14, 1998 Former US Secretary of Education, Richard Riley congratulates first year TSTT college student, Mario Saurez. U.S. Education Secretary Richard Riley praised a Westchester County-based education foundation last night, calling for more initiatives like it across the country to link secondary schools and colleges. Riley said the foundation and its biggest program, Today's Students, Tomorrow's Teachers, would be models for a collaborative project, High Hopes for College, that he and President Clinton have asked Congress to fund. "The key is partnership," he said. "Things that work well in this country generally are partnerships." Riley was the keynote speaker at the Learning Foundation of Putnam-Northern Westchester's annual leadership awards program at the Armonk headquarters of the investment company, MBIA Inc. The gala honored 10 colleges involved in Today's Students, Tomorrow's Teachers. The program provides minority high school students who are interested in becoming teachers with academic support, mentors, internships and help with college admissions. Through participating colleges, the program also offers 50 percent scholarships to the students in return for a pledge to teach locally for at least a year. "Quality minority teachers - that's a national need," he said. "We're going to need two million teachers over the next 10 years. They're going to have to be quality teachers who can teach in a diverse classroom using high technology ... These people were very perceptive to pick this up." Honored last night were Fordham University in the Bronx; the College of New Rochelle; Gordon College in Wenham, Mass.; Iona College in New Rochelle; Manhattanville College in Purchase; Marist College in Poughkeepsie; Marymount College in Tarrytown; Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry; Pace University in New York City and Pleasantville; and Texas College in Tyler, Texas.

    The Forgiving Blue

    THE FORGIVING BLUE Lynn Fong nterspersed in the gentle lapping of ocean waves, a few tense notes of a violin crescendo as Chiron, the protagonist of Barry Jenkins’s film Moonlight , learns to swim. The water is a soft turquoise. The camera bobs along with it, pulled up and down Iand sometimes partially obscured by the waves. We, the audience, are right there with little Chiron as he experiences the waters of Miami for the first time. Juan, Chiron’s newfound, unlikely mentor, is hold - ing up Chiron’s small head while he teaches him to float. “You’re in the middle of the world,” Juan tells Chiron. The two are framed only by the turquoise water and a light blue sky. Juan demonstrates arm movements: “Go like this,” he instructs, “more athletic.” Chiron mimics him as he learns to paddle. Finally, Juan releases Chiron so he can swim on his own. “Go,” Juan says, and Chiron begins paddling by himself. Then, Chiron is alone. The music slows and fades away. He is indeed in the middle of the world as he swims, unaccompanied, unafraid, and free. Moonlight , which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2017, is a coming-of-age story. More specifically, it documents three stages in the life of Chiron, a young, gay black man growing up in an impoverished area of Miami. Even more specifically, the film offers an empathetic lens into the most intimate, defining moments of Chiron’s life: learning how to swim, putting a blanket on his drugged- out mother, reuniting with someone he’s loved after years of estrange - ment.

    Louisa Wood Ruby

    CHAPTER ONE DUTCH ART AND THE HUDSON VALLEY PATROON PAINTERS Louisa Wood Ruby One of the earliest "schools" of American painting, the Hudson Valley patroon painters, has often been considered to have derived from seventeenth-century English portraiture. Portraits of English aristo- crats appealed to Dutch patroons as displays of the kind of social status they aspired to in their new country. British mezzotints after original paintings by Sir Godfrey Kneller and others provided the patroon painters with readily available models on which to base their portraits of wealthy Dutch Americans. Unfortunately, this convincing analysis vastly underestimates the influence of Dutch art and taste on the development of these paintings. Frequently overlooked in the discussion of the appeal of British portraiture to Dutch patroons is the fact that English portraiture of the seventeenth century was, in fact, a direct descendant of the Netherlandish portrait tradition. Kneller, the main source for the mez- zotints that flooded New York, was trained in Amsterdam. Sir Peter Lely was born in Holland, and of course Sir Anthony Van Dyck was from Antwerp. Wealthy Dutch families in New York would have been aware of the Netherlandish tradition through works of art they brought with them from their homeland. Indeed, the first paintings produced in New Amsterdam and early New York were essentially Dutch, since no other tradition existed here at the time. When British mezzotints finally arrived in 17 10, they did indeed appeal to the patroon families, most likely because they were works grounded in the Dutch tradition, then overlaid with elements of British culture and style.
