Geht es Ihnen auch manchmal so? Da sieht man einen Film und weiß gleich auf Anhieb, wem man den Oscar verlei- hen möchte. So erging es unserem Filmblogger Wolfram Hannemann, als er uns im Dezember über BLACK SWAN berichtete. In seinen Augen einer der besten Filme des vergange- nen Jahres und ganz zweifelsohne eine Oscar-würdige Leistung von Natalie Portman. Grund genug für uns, dieses vermeintliche Meisterwerk anzuschau- en. Das haben wir dann auch gleich am offiziellen Starttermin gemacht. Was für ein Film! Darren Aronovsky hat damit ein großes Stück Kino abgeliefert, das Gänsehaut (oder sollten wir besser Schwanenhaut sagen?) generiert. Und jenes kleine Mädchen, das damals so tapfer Jean Reno in Luc Bessons LEON – DER PROFI zur Seite stand, tanzt sich in der Rolle der Nina Sayers mit schier unglaublicher Wucht an die Spitze von Hollywoods Schauspieler- elite. Das ist so atemberaubend, dass wir uns den Film eine Woche später gleich nochmals angeschaut haben (ja, wir sind Wiederholungstäter!). Dass BLACK SWAN jetzt ganz oben auf unserer DVD- und Blu-ray-Wunschliste steht müssen wir vermutlich nicht er- wähnen, oder? Natalie jedenfalls ist unsere Favoritin bei der diesjährigen Oscar-Verleihung. Und mit ein wenig Glück gibt’s ja auch noch einen Oscar für die faszinierende Kameraarbeit von Matthew Libatique.

  • Covers and Communicative Intentions Theodore Gracyk, Department of Philosophy, Minnesota State University Moorhead
    Peer-Reviewed Paper JMM: The Journal of Music and Meaning, vol. 11, 2012/2013 Covers and Communicative Intentions Theodore Gracyk, Department of Philosophy, Minnesota State University Moorhead Abstract Within the domain of recorded popular music, some recordings are identified as “covers.” I argue that covers differ from mere remakes in requiring a particular communicative intention, thus locating cover recordings in the category of extended allusion. I identify aspects of musical culture that encourage and discourage covers, providing an explanation of why covers are rare in the jazz and classical music traditions. 22 Peer-Reviewed Paper JMM: The Journal of Music and Meaning, vol. 11, 2012/2013 I In the 2007 Todd Haynes film I’m Not There, actress Cate Blanchett plays a character named Jude Quinn. As with the other primary characters in the film, Quinn is clearly modeled on Bob Dylan. In the Blanchett sequences, it is Dylan during his 1966 visit to England. In one scene, Quinn/Dylan introduces his manager to Brian Jones, guitarist in the Rolling Stones. The band’s name is never mentioned. Quinn/Dylan merely says, “Norman, this is Brian Jones, from that groovy cover band.” On the soundtrack we hear The Monkees singing “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone” (1966), a song they did not write and which was regularly performed to great effect by the Sex Pistols in the 1970s. In the context of 1966, calling the Rolling Stones a “cover band” is obviously meant to be an insult. Thanks largely to the combined influence of Dylan, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones, performance of original material was emerging as a criterion for being taken seriously as a rock musician.
