Danger: Diabolik - Anmeldelse Blogg Gjemmestedet Innlegg Kategorier Forfattere Om Danger: Diabolik - anmeldelse Blogg Danger: Diabolik [IMDb] (eller bare Diabolik som den heter i hjemlandet) er Gjemmestedet basert på en italiensk tegneserie (fumetti som de kalles, oversettelsen "røyksky" henspeiler antagelig på karakterenes snakkebobler), og i likhet med en annen lm i genren, Barbarella [IMDb], er den en opplevelse av de sjeldne. Dato 16. juli 2005 Der Barbarella føles stiv, konstruert og i beste fall en ganske så campy utfoldelse er Danger: Diabolik en ytterst spennende lm. I overføringen fra fumetti til lm klarer regissøren Mario Bava å fange en liten del av tegneseriens essens. Mens Forfatter Barbarella består av stillestående bilder som for å fange en tegnserierute i hver scene, klarer Danger: Diabolik å fange mange ruter i hver scene. Bildene blir delt gbang opp som en tegneserieside ved hjelp av sengestolper, rammer, vinduer, speil og andre rette gjenstander. Filmens ramme (lerretet, skjermen) består i så måte av flere rammer. Gjennomtenkt og nesten ikke merkbart om du ikke klar over det. Kategori Dette og kameraets bevegelse gjør lmen svært så actionpreget og lmens handling er en James Bond-lm verdig. Anmeldelse Diabolik er mestertyven som ingen kan fange. Sammen med sin kvinnelige allierte og elskerinne, Eva, er intet brekk for vanskelig, ingen hindre uoverkommelige. Utstyrt med tettsittende lærdrakter, lattergass, tau, raske biler, dynamitt, og et noe merkelig klatreutstyr går Diabolik etter nasjonens mest ettertraktede Les mer verdier. Alt havner i egen lomme, og noe i sengen (?). Det er ikke så mye mer å si om handlingen bortsett fra at Diabolik er smart og styresmaktene og politiet er Forrige: inkompetente. I dag ville sansynligvis Diabolik blitt stemplet som terrorist og Fra lm til manga scenen der Diabolik sprenger landets nansielle institusjoner i llebiter (og Neste: således ødelegger hele skattesystemet) minner mistenkelig om samme hendelse blogger.com sliter i Fight Club [IMDb]. På tiden da lmen ble laget falt nok dette ganske så godt inn i den motkulturen som eksisterte, men i dag ville nok dette aldri dette blitt behandlet på samme måte. Filmen kom noen år etter Batman-seriens inntog på TV-skjermene og har nok plukket en del fra denne. Han har til og med sin egen Batcave, et stort underjordisk kompleks som sikkert ville gjort Batman ganske så misunnelig. Forskjellen er at Diabolik helt klart ikke er en helt, det er til og med vanskelig å beskrive ham som en antihelt. Dette er ikke så merkelig som det høres ut. I statene hadde (og har) den rettskafne helten en større posisjon i samfunnet. Hverdagshelten som redder andre fra undergang, den litt uinteressante mannen som om kvelden blir en kappekledd hevner i rettferdighetens navn. Mennesker som tar på seg oppgaver samfunnet ikke klarer å håndtere. I Europa (og spesielt de sørlige delene) var man mer vant til diktatorer, mennesker som utnyttet posisjonene sine til personlig vinning, og f.eks. skattebelegging som i beste fall føltes meningsløst og lite givende. I kulturen kommer motvekten til dette klart fram tidlig på 1900-tallet, og allerede i 1913 får vi lmserien som startet en bølge liknende lmer. Fantômas av Louis Feuillade beskriver den nytteløse kampen mot en utspekulert, maskert, hensynsløs og ukjent kriminell. Serien fortsatte hele dette tiåret, og Feuillade spedde på serien med liknende lmer som Les Vampires [IMDb] og Judex [IMDb]. Slik ble en annerledes forståelse og en aldri så liten tilbedelse av den lille manns motstand mot systemet født. Det virker ganske klart at mye av fumetti- fenomenet og Danger: Diabolik spesielt føyer seg inn i denne tradisjonen. John Phillip Law spiller Diabolik og det gjør han relativt greit. I motsetning til rollen i Barbarella får han her vise hva han kan som skuespiller, og presterer til og med moren til alle verdens onde lattere. Marisa Mell spiller Eva og er i det minste pen å se på. Den hysteriske Terry-Thomas spiller både innenriksminister og nansminister og er bare latterlig, men også fornøyelig. Politimannen på sporet av Diabolik er Michel Piccoli og i sin kraft som skuespiller gjør han nok den beste rollen i dette ensemblet. Skuespillet er stort sett overdrevet og karikert og akkurat som forventet og ønsket. Skuespillerne må likevel nne seg i å komme i andre rekke her for hovedpersonen i lmen er nok dens stil og design. På mange måter en tyggegummipreget lm hvor klesplagg, hus, trapper, ja alt interiør og eksteriør er gjennomtenkt og nesten like klisjeaktig som handlingen. Flere har forsøkt å etterligne denne stilen uten å lykkes helt. Nærmest kommer nok Roman Coppola (ja han er i familie med to andre lmskapere av et visst kaliber)med sin CQ [IMDb]. Filmen er rett og slett en hyllest til denne typen glossy lmer og til Danger: Diabolik spesielt. Hyllesten blir desto klarere ved at John Phillip Law har en liten rolle i CQ. Regissøren Mario Bava har sin bakgrunn i malerkunst, grask design, italiensk horror og såkalt "gul" (giallo) lm (kan nok best beskrives som thriller med skrekk- og splatter-elementer), der nok Dario Argento er den mest kjente utøveren. Bava har i tillegg forsøkt seg på andre typer exploitation og sci- uten spesielt hell. Bava var en mann som ikke bare var vant til å jobbe med stramme budsjetter. Han hadde nok også sine mest kreative øyeblikk med slike restriksjoner. Produsenten Dino de Laurentiisspyttet inn hele tre millioner dollar i produksjonen. Betegnende nok brukte Bava bare 400.000 av disse og kk likevel lmen til å se ganske så dyr ut. En triumf av de sjeldne spør du meg. Det viktigste med denne lmen er at den er utrolig moro! Det nnes knapt et kjedelig øyeblikk og det eneste som trekker helhetsinntrykket ned er den noe uinspirerte slutten. Bava er en mester i skape stemning og en regissør som vet å utnytte lmmediet for å få fram de effektene han ønsker. Her han skapt en ganske så campy, sexy, flamboyant og fascinerende lm. Bava selv var ikke spesielt fornøyd med lmen og beskrev den som et mareritt å lage. Ikke i et sekund er det tydelig i lmen. Fumetti-tegneseriene var for første gang i Italia rettet mot et voksent publikum. Som følge av dette var de også ganske så sensuelle og mer ukonvensjonelle både i form og innhold. I så måte har ikke lmen noen stor substans, men desto mer visuell stil og en overraskende fartsfylt handling. Forvent ikke gripende eller sterke opplevelser, men forvent en stor dose estetikk og moro. Jeg har ventet på denne DVD-utgivelsen med spenning i over et år nå. Først var den tenkt som en ren vanilje-utgivelse, men etter protester fra flere hold valgte Paramount å trekke den første utgaven tilbake like før den skulle slippes. ZAP (Zoetrope Aubry Productions, et underselskap av far Coppolas Zoetrope) kk ansvaret for å pusse på utgivelsen og i hendene har jeg nå faktisk en av årets sterkeste DVD-utgivelser. Ikke fordi den er så fantastisk i mengden av ekstramateriale eller kvalitet, men først og fremst fordi den er intelligent og ikke overdrevet. Bildet er skarpt og får fram fargene som er så viktig for lmen på en god måte. Noen korn og streker skimtes til tider, og annet er ikke å forvente, men skjemmer ikke lmen nevneverdig. Heldigvis har de beholdt bildeformatet 1:1.85 og det å se denne lmen i noe annet en widescreen ville vært langt fra noen god opplevelse. Lydsporet er det originale dubbingen for det amerikanske markedet og fungerer bedre enn man skulle tro. Morricones musikk kommer også til sin rett, og siden den opprinnelige musikkmasteren er ødelagt ved brann er nok dette den beste måten å få høre dette på. Det jeg virkelig ble glad for var ekstramaterialet. Som sagt ikke alt for mye, men intelligent. Kommentarsporet til lmen ved Tim Lucas og John Phillip Law er vittig og informativt. To trailere som du bør unngå å se før lmen (av en eller annen grunn gir de bort slutten i traileren). Musikkvideoen av Beastie Boys til låta Body Movin' er en slags remake av store deler av lmen spilt av beistene selv. Frontmannen i bandet, Adam Yauch gir også et kommentarspor til videoen. Det viktigste er likevel dokumentaren From Fumetti To Film [IMDb] som er veldig god innføring til fumetti og Danger: Diabolik. Vi får bl.a. møte en kunnskapsrik tegneserieartist, Stephen Bissette og flere kommentarer av Law og ikke minst Roman Coppola og Dino de Laurentiis. Dokumentaren er en virkelig smart godteripose og et fullverdig punktum for både utgivelsen og lmen..

    Issue #72 Summer / Fall 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (part 2) A Man, a Colt The MGM Rolling Road Show Latest DVD Reviews WAI! #72 THE SWINGIN’ DOORS April and May were months that took a number of well known actors of the Spaghetti western genre: Jacques Berthier, Robert Hundar, John Phillip Law and Tano Cimarosa were all well known names in the genre. Of course we should expect as much since these people are now well into their 70s and even 80s. Still in our minds they are young vibrant actors who we see over and over again on video and DVD. It’s hard to realize that it’s been 40+ years since Sergio Leone kicked off the Spaghetti western craze and launched a world wide revolution in film that we still see influencing films today. Hard to believe Clint Eastwood turned 78 on May 30th. Seems like only yesterday he was the ‘Man with No Name’ and starring in the first of the Leone films that launched the genre. Remember when Clint was criticized so badly as an actor and for the films he appeared in during the 60s and 70s. Now he’s revered in Hollywood because he’s outlived his critics. I guess we recognized a real star long before the critics did. A great idea came to Tim League’s mind in the launching of the “Rolling Road Show”, where films are actually shown where they were filmed. I wasn’t able to travel to Spain to see the Dollars trilogy but we have a nice review of the films and the experience by someone who was there.

  • A Comparative Study of Women's Aggression
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF WOMEN'S AGGRESSION Kiera M. Gaswint A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2018 Committee: Kim Coates, Advisor Jeff Brown © 2018 Kiera Gaswint All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kim Coates, Advisor This project explores women’s aggression in superhero, science fiction, and crime film through a close reading of Wonder Woman, Ghost in the Shell, and Atomic Blonde. All based in genres that are traditionally considered ‘for boys,’ these films are different from other superhero, science fiction, and crime films because they feature female leads with aggressive tendencies. Using Dana Crowley Jack’s theory of women’s aggression and Yvonne Tasker and Diane Negra’s definition of postfeminism, I argue that Diana, Major, and Lorraine revolutionize the image of the lead postfeminist character by offering examples of women’s aggression that resist acceptable, palatable representations of women’s aggression. Whereas in the past there have been many representations of aggressive women, those past representations have been affected by postfeminism in a way that commodifies and limits their ability to be authentically aggressive. I examine how these new films – Wonder Woman, Ghost in the Shell, and Atomic Blonde - play into and ultimately resist postfeminist representations because of their aggression and how that aggression is played out on the female body. In the following chapters I analyze how the heroines in Wonder Woman, Ghost in the Shell, and Atomic Blonde disrupt postfeminist notions and prior images of women’s aggression by explicitly examining aggressive women who are not domesticated or justified by rape.

  • Camille Paglia
    Homer on Film: A Voyage Through The Odyssey, Ulysses, Helen of Troy, and Contempt CAMILLE PAGLIA The Odyssey, adapted for television by Andrei Konchalovsky and Christopher Solimine. Directed by Andrei Konchalovsky. Miniseries produced by American Zoetrope in association with Hallmark Entertainment for NBC (May 18 and 19, 1997). The may 1997 NBC television miniseries of The Odyssey, a production of Francis Ford Coppola’s Amer- ican Zoetrope in association with Hallmark Entertainment, should give courage to the faint of heart in the culture wars. The canon lives! The Odyssey’s executive producer, Robert Halmi, Sr., 73, who worked in the Hungarian Resistance during World War II, is an author and photographer as well as producer of nearly two hundred feature films and television dramas, such as Svengali (1983), The Josephine Baker Story (1991), Lone- some Dove (1987), and Gulliver’s Travels (1996). The pop- ular and critical success of Gulliver’s Travels—the miniseries drew over thirty million viewers nightly and won XX Emmys—led to NBC’s quick approval of Halmi’s proposal to do The Odyssey as a two-part, four-hour telecast. With evangelical fervor, Halmi has now devoted himself to bring- ing the classics to a mass audience: his productions of Dick- ens’ David Copperfield, Melville’s Moby Dick, Dos- toyevsky’s Crime and Punishment, and Dante’s Inferno are either nearing completion or in planning. Andrei Konchalovsky, the director of The Odyssey, was born in Russia and was trained as a classical pianist and then as a filmmaker.
