¿Cuál Es Tu Cartel De Cine Favorito? ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Seguramente no haya carteles más originales que los realizados en Polonia, aunque presentan el pequeño inconveniente de hacer que todas las películas parezcan del género de terror… Un buen póster debería ser capaz de transmitir de un vistazo algunos aspectos fundamentales acerca de aquello que anuncia —su género, sus protagonistas, el público al que va dirigida— y a estas alturas la industria del cine ya ha elaborado una semiótica en torno a una serie de clichés de los que hablamos en su momento. En esa tensión entre la originalidad y la eficacia descriptiva unos pocos carteles logran convertirse en pequeñas obras de arte por sí mismos, han llegado a resultar icónicos y adornan las paredes de nuestras casas e incluso se convierten en objetos de coleccionismo que alcanzan cientos de miles de euros en subastas. Naturalmente resulta difícil en muchos casos llegar a distinguir si uno de ellos nos atrae porque es la película la que nos gusta; es lo que intentaremos a continuación, aunque por supuesto cada lector es muy libre de votar según el criterio que le plazca así como de añadir otros ejemplos si lo desea. (La caja de voto se encuentra al final del artículo) ______________________________________________________________________________ El gabinete del doctor Caligari | 1 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: Decla Bioscop. En 1920 las campañas de marketing de las grandes producciones actuales eran algo inimaginable, pero ya se hacían estupendos carteles como este. La película, que ya ha pasado a ser de dominio público, pueden verla aquí. ______________________________________________________________________________ | 2 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Metrópolis Imagen: U.F.A. Schulz-Neudamm fue el responsable de este ejemplo de art déco, con esa robot ante la ciudad | 3 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? futurista al borde de la revolución (puede verseaquí ). Un cartel del que hoy día solo quedan cuatro copias originales. Una de ellas en manos al parecer deLeonardo DiCaprio, mientras que otra fue subastada hace tres años por 1,2 millones de dólares. ______________________________________________________________________________ King Kong | 4 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: RKO Radio Pictures. Como vemos, los carteles que se imprimieron en su día para promocionar clásicos del cine como este son hoy en día apreciadas piezas de coleccionista, uno como el situado sobre estas líneas llegó a venderse hace unos años por 244.500 dólares. Su autoría se atribuye aCarroll Clark y Alfred Herman. | 5 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? ______________________________________________________________________________ Lo que el viento se llevó Imagen: MGM. | 6 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Ya nadie se acuerda del anodino cartel original desde que en 1966 Tom Jung y Howard Terpning crearan este otro mucho más arrebatado, con Rhett Butler cogiendo en brazos a una entregada señorita Escarlata cuyas enaguas intuimos que acabarán echas jirones unos segundos más tarde. ______________________________________________________________________________ La invasión de los hombres del espacio Imagen: Malibu Productions. El género de serie B de los años cincuenta contiene una apreciable cantidad de cintas a las que catalogar como obras maestras sería quizá exagerado, pero desde luego son muy entretenidas. Ahora bien, para sus carteles sí que es justa dicha etiqueta: El hombre del planeta X, Planeta prohibido, El monstruo de los tiempos remotos o la que ven sobre estas líneas. ______________________________________________________________________________ El ataque de la mujer de 50 pies | 7 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: Allied Artists. Reynold Brown fue el ilustrador responsable de los pósteres de grandes clásicos del cine cargados de solemnidad como Espartaco, Rey de reyes o Ben-Hur. Pero también dibujó los de películas de ciencia ficción que le permitieron dejar volar la imaginación comoTarántula o el que vemos | 8 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? arriba, sencillamente espectacular, con esos hombrecillos que desde su posición pueden contemplar algo que escapa a nuestra ángulo. ______________________________________________________________________________ La naranja mecánica | 9 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: Warner Bros Pictures. Bill Gold es el más grande ilustrador de carteles que ha dado el cine y si echamos un vistazo a las películas para las que ha trabajado el listado es impresionante:Casablanca, El sueño eterno, Extraños en un tren, Un tranvía llamado Deseo, Gigante, Esplendor en la hierba… Y así podríamos | 10 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? seguir, pero lo más curioso es que no se quedó anclado en un estilo clásico sino que fue modernizándose al ritmo en que el cine lo hacía. Este cartel que creó para La naranja mecánica es un buen ejemplo de ello. ______________________________________________________________________________ El exorcista | 11 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: Warner Bros. Pictures. Y aquí tenemos otro. Gold no quiso utilizar lo que habría sido el recurso fácil de mostrar a la niña poseída, lo que habría privado al público de ir descubriendo su progresivo deterioro. En su lugar | 12 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? muestra la silueta del exorcista frente a la casa, con una luz muy potente desde una de sus ventanas que nos indica que algo gordo está pasando allá. ______________________________________________________________________________ Alien Imagen: 20th Century Fox. | 13 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Y como no hay dos sin tres aquí otra brillante creación de Bill Gold. Sobre Alien ya hablamos aquí y el cartel es otro acierto añadido a los mucho que tiene la película. Ese huevo flotando en la oscuridad eclosionando, insinuando sin mostrar, juega con el miedo del público a una amenaza que no podemos ver tal como hacía también la narración. Elegante y misterioso, queda mucho mejor que otras alternativas que se barajaron. Por otro lado, mencionábamos al inicio los carteles polacos y a falta de información sobre su autor nos queda la intuición de que de pequeño se cayó en una marmita de LSD. Del que hizo para esta película, sin llegar al nivel del original, hay que reconocer que también acojona, con esa caja torácica con ojos que tampoco es que guarde mucha relación con el protagonista, pero bueno, ya debía de tener la idea y mejor aquí que enKramer contra Kramer. Este curioso engendro incomprensiblemente no hizo un cameo en Prometheus y la verdad es que no hubiera desentonado en el conjunto. ______________________________________________________________________________ Apocalypse Now | 14 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: United Artists. No podía faltar un cartel del tipo conocido como «cabezas flotantes», obra del ilustradorBob Peak, autor de otros como el de Excalibur en el que podemos reconocer su estilo. En el centro y en | 15 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? primer plano tenemos la cara de vinagre deMarlon Brando, que apenas salía en los últimos minutos pero era sin duda el gran protagonista del film y al fondo, con sus siluetas superpuestas al sol, los helicópteros de su escena más celebrada. ______________________________________________________________________________ Manhattan | 16 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: United Artists. Si preguntásemos por los nombres de la infinidad de directores que han retratado Nueva York, probablemente el primero que la mayoría diría es Woody Allen. Si quisiéramos saber su película más característica nos responderían queManhattan . Y si finalmente pidiéramos a nuestro | 17 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? interlocutor que nos indicara qué escena recuerda mejor, seguramente mencionaría la del protagonista junto a Diane Keaton sentados frente al puente de Queensboro visto desde Sutton Square. Esa imagen es por tanto la decantación pura del Nueva York cinematográfico y es la que con gran acierto se escogió para este memorable cartel, que desde entonces ha sido imitado u homenajeado en innumerables filmes posteriores. ______________________________________________________________________________ Tiburón | 18 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: Universal Pictures. Una chica nadando inconscientemente a punto de ser devorada por un enorme tiburón que surge de las profundidades. Una imagen que expresa con sencillez y espectacularidad el argumento de | 19 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? la película que lanzaría a Spielberg a lo más alto. ______________________________________________________________________________ Per Aspera Ad Astra | 20 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: Gorky Film Studio. Una película con semejante cartel no puede ser mala. Cine soviético de ciencia ficción de 1980 con su buena dosis de carga propagandística, droga dura. ______________________________________________________________________________ | 21 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? E.T., el extraterrestre | 22 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: Universal Pictures. Hay varios carteles de E.T. de los que el más gracioso es, cómo no, el polaco, pero los dos más conocidos son el de los dedos tocándose y este otro con Elliot y el extraterrestre volando delante de la luna, que pasó a formar parte del logo de la productora Amblin. ______________________________________________________________________________ Pulp Fiction | 23 ¿Cuál es tu cartel de cine favorito? Imagen: Miramax Films. James Verdesoto es un ilustrador de origen

    RMC Original JMM From Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader: understanding Star Wars based on Theodore Millon´s theory of personality pathology Lucas de Francisco CARVALHO Department of Psychology, Universidade São Francisco, Itatiba, São Paulo (Brazil). Corresponding author: Lucas de Francisco Carvalho. E‐mail address: [email protected] Received 24 January 2017; accepted 17 February 2017. How to cite this paper: Carvalho LF. From Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader: understanding Star Wars based on Theodore Millon´s theory of personality pathology. J Med Mov [Internet] 2017;13(3): 121‐126. Summary The aim of this work was to psychologically investigate Anakin Skywalker (also known as Darth Vader), using a non sistematic idiographic clinic analysis, based on Thedore Millon theory, with solid theoretical and empirical bases for personality pathological traits and personality disorders. The character Anakin Skywalker allows this analysis, since in the films it is possible to observe fragments of his childhood, adolescence and adult life, making viable an analysis of his psychological development. According to Millon´s theory and the information from the movies, we present as a conclusion a possible pathological personality funtioning for the character. Keywords: Personality disorders; Borderline personality disorder; Personality development; Cinema.

  • The Return of the Movie Poster Art
    The Return of the Movie Poster Art: A Comparison of Hollywood Poster Design and its Contemporary Opposing Force Twan Zijlstra VU University Amsterdam Jan den Haenstraat 36-III Faculty of Arts 1055 WG Amsterdam Comparative Arts and Media Studies Tel.: 06-41636920 Elective: Design History Student number: 2536114 Alice Twemlow E-mail address: [email protected]; [email protected] December 17, 2015 Introduction We live in an age of artistic and creative fluidity. In an almost Marxist way, by facilitating people’s urge to create and share their work, technological advances have slowly but steadily been breaking down the hierarchy that used to dominate creative practice as well as its valuation. With professional tools for visual content creation such as cameras and advanced computer software available and affordable, it is easier than ever to engage in artistic and professional design practice. Moreover, specialized social sharing platforms such as FLICKR and DEVIANTART allow for semi-professionals, or even just enthusiasts, to gain recognition and even stardom within the ever-growing underground scene of digital artists, designers and photographers. As a result, the moment the professional elite stops being innovative and passionate about their work, there are many non-professional designers waiting out there ready to fill the gap. According to Matthew Chojnacki, freelance writer on film and music history, this is what underground artists and designers have been doing with the movie poster.1 The movie poster today is not the respected and widely exposed artistic medium it was when Saul Bass, celebrated movie poster and title sequence designer, designed his iconic poster (Img.
