Walkie Talkie Protocol Use

Not Too Late the Hero, Kathryn


"The fury of battle results in a strong and deadly addiction, because the war is a drug." And like all drugs changes with the changing times. The contemporary world has given us the Great War, stressful and disruptive as a dose of heroin. Then the Second World War, overdose crack destined to leave indelible marks. Korea and Vietnam had to be quick puffs of hashish, lysergic tramutatesi in crazy dancing. Now there's Afghanistan and Iraq, the time for a drink of whiskey and a shot from ketamine. The invasion process is mirrored in the distortion of reality. And his interpretation. The eye is shattered. It crystallizes and squeaks under gunfire. Remain individualistic ethics, the need for action, the denial of the community of so many soiled heroes battles engulf and regurgitated in a hurry.


I knew a teacher like Robert Aldrich . It's great review today Too Late the Hero ( Not Too Late the Hero ), 1970. One of those films exciting, vigorous, robust. With a five-star cast (Cliff Robertson, Henry Fonda, Ian Bannen, a titanic Michael Caine) and directed that from the initial sequences (flags Japanese, English and American torn by the wind and the passage of time) make the chills. The dirty dozen is always, indeed, in this case is damn gears. In an island of the Hebrides, in front of the Pacific, Yankees not too much more convinced of his role he joined a company of British deserters and drifters to blow up a radio station Nippo. Save your skin will prove difficult undertaking. However, no value or ethics of solidarity that war Aldrich tries. Rather, it reiterates a cynicism around that man is a denial of the association of people and exaltation of purely individual action. The conflict remains as on sfondo, un mistero incomprensibile che unisce gli uomini, che siano americani, inglesi o giapponesi (il maggiore pacato e scaltro). La corsa finale tra il fuoco incrociato dei nemici ed il raggiungimento della status d’eroe («Ha ucciso 15 nemici; anzi 30. Faccia lei») non serve ad altro che a sconfessare l’eroismo. Perché «morire in guerra è cretino e crudele».


Quasi 40 anni dopo, è Kathryn Bigelow la sola ad animare d’azione e riflessione profonda i problemi a stelle e strisce nel Medio Oriente. The Hurt Locker (2008) è meno teorico sul punto di vista rispetto al capolavoro di Brian De Palma Redacted . Reject the commotion, the stubborn search for historical truth, humanism and rhetoric in Paul Haggis' In the Valley of Elah (2007). In Iraq the anthropological Bigelow wear the dramas of our time. The enemies have a face, are not distinguishable. As the lines between reality and representation. We are in disarray, thrown at the forefront of a political confused and indifferent. The only solution for those who are facing is pure action. The U.S. Army squad who defuses bombs profession acts with coolness and clarity of professionals. Behind this there are peel alcohol, confusion of roles, psychological dramas, tensions and difficulties adaptation. Between good and bad there's no distinction. The direction is perfect to combine hard rock and biting of the Ministry and constant voltage, zoom blur and fast hand-held camera, the adrenaline pumping in the choices that cost a life, many lives. War is like a drug, dulls the will of men, it confuses duties and spirit of survival. The style of rough, dry, muscular Bigelow would have loved it to Aldrich. As if to say, to deal with certain psychological mechanisms must be a feeling out of the ordinary.
War. It's a dying business.

How Many Temazepam Is It Safe To Take?

Mysteries of Italian cinema. The beautiful people


Mysteries of Italian cinema. There's a movie, the second film of Ivano De Matteo . It's called the beautiful people . He won the Annecy Festival, part the last festival in Turin, is appreciated far and wide across the world. And above all, not even a "small" film, because it boasts a cast of actors from the first floor as Antonio Catania, Monica Guerritore, Elio Germano, Iaia Forte. Yet. Yet it has a distribution. This means that to view it in the room (or DVD) we will have to wait. What then is worthwhile asking this question, given the myopia of a system - like the middle class - is based on hypocrisy and false trends.


The beautiful people is the story Alfredo and Susan. Alfredo is an architect, a psychologist Susan. Middle-class people and progressive, youthful-looking fifty, the ready wit and an intelligent look. They live in Rome but spent the weekend of the summer in their cottage in a private estate. One day Susan, going in the country, are struck by a young prostitute who is humiliated and beaten by a man on the street that leads to a main road. He decided to save that girl. That gesture will change life forever. It will upset the balance of his family.


Produced by X Film, presented at the Turin Film Festival and won the Grand Prix Italian Film Festival of Annecy, beautiful people The second is the work of Ivano De Matteo, a past in theater workshops, short films, documentaries and important roles as an actor. Written by Valentina Ferlan, shot in four weeks with a small budget (450,000 euros) and acted by an exceptional cast (Monica Guerritore, Antonio Catania, Elio Germano, Iaia Forte, Giorgio Gobbi, Victoria Larchenko, Myriam Catania), the film De Matthew is a work that can disrupt and disturb. Behind the simple linearity of the subject, runs a 'progression from psychological thriller, "a ferocity in the sketch people as" normal "to be abnormal. A reflection acute sharp and fierce solidarity, indifference, on '(in) existence of divisions and classes.


Hypocrisy reigns supreme in some bourgeois circles, the same as De Matteo said: "The hypocrisy is like cholesterol, there is that good and the bad. There's the hypocrisy that serves to move forward, maybe not to be offensive, and the bad, the politically correct. " The protagonists of his film this weak boundary crossing: they believe they have a certain personality, certain ideals, certain life projects. Instead wrecked in the disorder and chaos when the unexpected occurs. Diversions that lead to be other than itself and produce an exacerbated individualism, carried to extremes in the bitter end.


no concessions whatsoever to the rhetoric or didacticism, De Matteo is not pointing the finger. Rather indicates a direction, (de) composing a fresco of the Italian society, including false appearances, feelings of hypocrisy, slavery conventions. The abyss into which the characters sink is inversely proportional to the rhythm that gives it direction. Realistic angle and urgent to enact a piece of land collapsed complacency and nell'ingordigia, matter and feelings. Why "It is difficult to understand how to act when the person who starts taking the time." The end of a dream of a tear, a wry smile and a door that closes, relive the best of Italian comedy.

When To Tanbefore A Trip

The cinema crazy and extreme FFC: The film Tetro


Dark, dark, dull, dreary. Bleak as Tetrocini: Charles, Alfred Angelo, Bennie. A family in which to mingle with the secrets, resentments and generosity to the competition, and the posting of compensation. Back in style of Francis Ford Coppola after all, bristly, sometimes unresolved Youth Without Youth (Youth Without Youth , 2007). A return that is a dip in what has been successful before, upsets and failures: the cinema of pure and unspoiled The Rain People ( not Rain , 1968) or the direct ancestor Rumble Fish ( Rumble Fish , 1983), full of experimentation, free from any type of magnet spectacular. Zero degree of poetic coppoliana, as the brilliant black and white that dominates the film.


Tetro ( Tetro ) is the family odyssey that passes through three generations. Angelo said Tetrocini Tetro (the face square and impenetrable by Vincent Gallo) is a writer in full crisi, trasferitosi in Argentina per ritrovare (o perdere) sé stesso. Suo padre Carlo è un geniale direttore d’orchestra, sebbene abbia sottratto questo incredibile talento al fratello Alfie (meravigliosi i due interpreti: Klaus Maria Brandauer & Klaus Maria Brandauer). Recriminazioni e ossessioni che ritornano con l’arrivo di Bennie (Alden Ehrenreich), giovane marinaio che darà una svolta improvvisa a passato, presente e futuro. Come una luce che abbaglia, squarcia un velo e acceca una intera esistenza.


Nonostante i toni intimi, quasi sommessi, l’epica dinastia di Tetro si nutre di un cinema libero e selvaggio, ironico e autobiografico. The black and white, working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, but the squalid lives (and improvised) theater, a trip to Patagonia, wacky characters that invade the scene (above all, the criticism Alone embodied by a superb Carmen Maura) are pieces of an imaginary crazy, bizarre, delicious. It's the pictures that you (dis) is, at times hypocritical and false (the literary award and the theater's gala, reflective screens and sequins), sometimes dazzling and necessary to reconstruct a vortex that is the path of a lifetime. It is so unexpected that there's flashback where color explodes and comes melodrama, fantasy, in that corner where Powell and Pressburger construct and enact their Scarpette rosse .


Perché come ha affermato lo stesso Coppola, «nulla di quello che avete visto in questo film è veramente successo. Ma è tutto vero». Come è vero che Tetro è stato scritto, diretto, prodotto e distribuito negli Usa (in Italia da Bim, un applauso) dal regista. Dopo anni di sacrifici economici, fallimenti, progetti abortiti, Tetro rivive come una rinascita dal basso. La politica degli autori torna prepotente a riaffermare con il suo miglior interprete il primato ed il candore del cinema indipendente.

Techline Drawer Slides Replacement

that documents: Anges Varda


«È difficile trovare la propria identità femminile in society, in private life, in relationships with their bodies. This search for identity is a way for a filmmaker: it also means running as a woman. " Word of Agnès Varda . Central figure in the history of cinema, not just French, not just women. Born in Brussels May 30, 1928, has completed his meetings in Paris that its essential life. These include Jacques Demy, her future husband, and Alain Resnais, who helped in the assembly of the first film La Pointe courte (1954). Someone talks about Nouvelle Vague, label consistently refused by the director, the cage too close to be tolerated.


Rather, in the films of Agnès Varda live together disparate elements: the essential stillness of photography, plans and fixed the deep spaces of documentary realism, visionary ideas drawn from different newspapers. A linguistic research that leads the director to develop the concept of cinécriture , writing for the cinema directly, without intermediaries literary or theatrical, having in mind the scenes, movements, deadlifts. It is here that comes a modern way of making a film, which differs from that of the past (de cinéma pope as opposed by members of the Cahiers du cinéma ") and anticipates future developments in narrative. Cléo de 5 à 7 (1962) is her first success story of a young singer (Corinne Marchand), pending a medical diagnosis that could be a terrible disease. The fear of death, (re) discovery of a profound identity, openness to the Other, the role of appearances, the fear of waiting. Reality and imagination blend, there is no distance between everyday life and fiction.


Le bonheur (The meadow of love , 1965) is another chapter in soft and hard feelings and emotions, family photo of happiness and found broken. Strong ambiguity travel instead Les Creatures (1966), beautifully starring Michel Piccoli and Catherine Deneuve. The decisive factor is the political commitment of Varda, a witness to a turbulent social period: in 1968 turns Loin du Vietnam with Chris Marker, Joris Ivens, Claude Lelouch, Jean-Luc Godard, William B. Klein and Alain Resnais, the 1963 is Salut les cubains! , short of mounting on a trip to Cuba at the time of Castro's revolution. This is his way of working: fix a photo, a body, an object, and imagine a story, a path. As Ulysse (1982) - made from the photograph of a child in the company of a dead goat and a naked man from behind, taken in 1964 - or Sans toit ni loi ( Homeless lawless , 1985), a film that makes you win the Golden Lion at Venice. Opera cut and polish dry, 'nomadic' as the main character played by Sandrine Bonnaire, including the anthropological documentary (without moral blackmail of any kind) and the mysterious lyricism, with sudden and ironic questions that remain (deliberately) missed.


In 1987 he dedicated to his friend Jane Birkin Jane B. par Agnès Varda , with the same actress realized the following year Kung-Fu Master, morbid affair in the balance between past and present, familiar also in the cast, consisting of Charlotte Gainsbourg (daughter della Birkin) e Mathieu Demy (figlio della regista e di Jaques Demy). Proprio al compagno è dedicato il doloroso Jaquot de Nantes (1990), ritratto degli anni giovanili e dei ricordi legati al marito da poco scomparso, in un intreccio straziante di arte e vita. Il film fa il paio con il sentito e commosso Garage Demy (1991), percorso esistenziale che esalta l’amore per il cinema ed il suo potere evocativo. Materializzazione dei sogni che Les cent et une nuits (1995) mette in scena con delicatezza e passione: un excursus sulla storia della settima arte, affidata alle lacune di memoria di Monsieur Cinéma (Michel Piccoli) rinfrescate dalla giovane e bella Camille (Julie Gayet) e dall’amico Italian Marcello Mastroianni.


recent years to bring a dowry of Agnes Varda's a load of new ideas and creative impulses. Les glaneurs et glaneuse (2000) is a documentary shot by junk dealers, junk dealers and scavengers, and gleaners Gleaners today. People who recover things thrown by other people. And thanks to the waste of a consumer society, they hope to survive. Exclusion of what the film, the director reveals a powerful portrait, because the gathering of these characters is like his film. In the words of François De Backer, "Agnès Varda captures the unusual, injustice, poverty, but also the symbiosis with nature, the pleasure of living in the open, simple gestures and oblivious of the collection. " Deux ans après (2002) is an appendix to Les glaneurs et glaneuse , what the people I met and filmed the previous work have become over time, "a film true, joyous, exciting and challenging as the first: Inspired by the extraordinary number of letters received, the message of admiration, but also by objects, patterns and information from its edges "(Jean-Michel Frodon). Until you reach the last Les Plages d'Agnès (2008), another patchwork of images, stories, fragments of film, dating from the evocative. This time, the beaches are to serve as a tattered snapshot of memory to make up a small, basic private universe. The Venice Film Festival returns to reward them with the prize "Jaeger-LeCoultre Glory to the Filmmaker". She returns in Edition 66 of 2009, giving Angela Ismailos moods and impressions from his Parisian courtyard for Great Directors .

The Poetics of lying vrai, the 'true lie', found in Agnès Varda symptomatic exposure. A cinema that 'documents', because the sinking of the camera lens in reality, and at the same time captures features hidden, intimate, almost invisible. A film that has made its cinécriture digit qualifier, because "the style of the film depends on the script. The cinécriture is a comment and a script that you write continuously for the duration of filming. " As a life long shots.

Wording For Candyland Baby Shower Invitations

What about The Good Life?


The sadness of a life generally miserable sometimes is not the only possible way, sometimes in the folds of a colorless and cold scenario is holed a "shining" of thoughts and solutions waiting for an action potential.


So while Jason Prayer (Mark Webber) consumes his life as a boy in a miserable U.S. citizen between the work station, a mother to care for the economically and morally, a disease that made him lose all his hair and unjustified attacks by an unknown unstable, the potential for a decisive change in the alcove of an old couple room film which projected only the classics, and lies in a beautiful girl, "stealing the life of Judy Garland, pulls him in the imagination of a happy existence.


The Good Life (2007) is the first feature film directed by Steve Berra , premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, won the Grand Jury Prize. An unusual film that arises in the air between the tradition of happy end, in typical Hollywood film, and dramatic scenarios most of the time of European art film. Maybe that's able to hold together the sadness and the hope that it makes an amazing job, melancholy and obstinate in its ability to survive it, or perhaps his agility derives all of the unusual Berra (his also wrote the screenplay) and is not a filmmaker by profession. The fact is that the film is a gem that, after transporting the viewer into a hellish maze of common daily life, which revives the light of another life as possible. The final ascent is sudden and built with small gestures nell'amalgama brown fish out of an anonymous world.

Banger Bros Free Vids

Nature Miyazaki


Princess Mononoke (Mononoke Hime), Hayah Miyazaki, 1997: When the drawings of an author's sweet life takes shape dormant. Life, that is, that manifests itself when we stop acting mechanically and slip into the indistinct features of our unconscious thoughts, or rather, have become unconscious because buried by the "nightmare" of everyday life often filled with comfortable and free of obvious enough, vital and natural imagination.
Mononoke away from the name of the princess character, actually means Spirit of Vengeance. In reference to the gods of the forest, in the story, they turn into demons whenever they are mortally wounded by men.


The film tells the country's iron built on the edge of a magnificent forest and Eboshi ruled by a ruthless woman. The village is likely to build and firearms - to obtain the necessary resources - logging of the forest itself. It is, therefore, the story of a war between humans and the forces of nature represented by the Gods, Pets and Princess San, the title, a human raised by wolves. In the middle of the two fazioni vi è il Principe Ashitaka.

Onirica ma splendente fiaba, La Principessa Mononoke è un racconto che si apre a molteplici livelli di interpretazione. Sicuramente narra della violenza cieca dell’Uomo nei confronti del pianeta. Ma, se si volesse osare e spingersi oltre, si potrebbe immaginare quella foresta piegata ai soprusi, come la Natura stessa degli esseri umani; una Natura spontanea - la stessa del Fanciullino , del Buon Selvaggio , dei bambini di Truffaut – che usiamo seppellire, come dicevamo sopra, sotto “convenienti” e convenzionati principi economico-sociali, dettati da un sistema che fingendo il benessere, creates a deep state of malaise. That nature, ultimately, that sometimes claim revenge.

Milena Velba Mighty Juggs

OUTSIDE POST: Mushrooms


The goodness of mushrooms from time immemorial it is renowned. Also because popping "out of nothing" on the ground, they are one of the first foods to which the human being has cibato. What is perhaps less well known is that instead is "responsible for the birth" of the human species seems to have been just the goodness of a fungus.
the fruit of knowledge that transformed Adam and Eve from the semi-immortal ancestors common to humans, it was not at all fatidico pomo. Secondo alcuni studi di antropologia ed etnobotanica il frutto proibito, lungi dall’essere una mela, sarebbe stato in realtà un fungo. A testimonianza di ciò vi è l’affresco – risalente al 1200 – della cappella di Plaincourault, una località dell'Indre, nella Francia centrale. Qui l’albero della conoscenza ha le nette sembianze di un fungo, probabilmente dell’ Amanita Muscaria .


Il tutto concorderebbe con le ricerche antropologiche che rintracciano lo sviluppo del senso del sacro – quindi la nascita delle religioni – nell’uso di un allucinogeno, che spesso è un fungo (la Psilocybe Mexico, the Amanita Muscaria of Hyperborea, ancestors of the Europeans, the Soma of the Vedas in India, the ' Ergot the Mysteries of Eleusis, the Boletus of Kuma).
the spiritual-religious function of the fungi is also closely related to their healing power. Used, in fact, the dawn of time, medicinal mushrooms have immune stimulating properties, antibacterial, anticancer. They also control cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose levels. Some of these fungi, first shiitake and maitake , are easily found in health food stores. It can be added to soups.
A mushroom is therefore well worth the Eden! And I think that in principle all cohabiting Europeans can agree on, especially as the mushrooms are common food for all our tables.
Just think of the typical steak and mushrooms pie English to Ràntott Gomba Hungarian, Italian risotto with porcini mushrooms, to the Champiñones ajillo English and so on throughout Europe.


At this point, be extremely clear and the choice made by the Smurfs in fungi that live there or that of Timothy Leary than two hours after his death, eat magic mushrooms.
"Beautiful" would be his last word.

How To Heal Perodontitis

FRIDA! Live once and for all


The film directed by Julie Taymor (2002) is a tribute to life as a praise existence was the very life of Frida Kahlo .
Mexican painter born, according to his account in 1910 with the revolution, will remain the victim during her youth, a bus accident. An iron handrail pierced the basin forcing her to penalties for unruly life.


It is during his convalescence, immobilized in bed, he will devote to painting. When he manages to lean back down to earth, will travel with his work by the painter Diego Rivera . Stimato e politicizzato artista del tempo, Diego riconoscerà subito la novità del talento espresso nelle sue opere naif, colorate, intime e surreali e la accoglierà sotto la propria ala.


Nel 1929 i due si sposeranno e il loro sarà un sodalizio di pieno amore, arte, e reciproci tradimenti. Le biografie la raccontano amante del rivoluzionario russo Lev Trotsky, del poeta André Breton e della fotografa e militante comunista Tina Modotti.


Tratto dalla biografia di Hayden Herrera , Frida è un biopic attento e realistico nel suo surrealismo, perché realistica e surreale allo stesso tempo è stata the existence of this magnificent artist.


A life taken head-on. Even at the risk of fatally injuring a long and slow death. A death in the end, seems to be the source of attachment to life, like an ongoing challenge as revenge against one who will still be the winner already decreed.
The director chooses to tell the biography of the artist regularly punctuating the film with fascinating images of his works. Images that come to life and how to relate better to describe the inner state of a woman throughout his personal and collective existence.
A film to see before you die.
