The hallmark of the Italian neorealism genre is to take the ordinary and evoke feelings to believe in the meaning of our lives as they are, rather than create belief in our fantasized endings to stories. The film offers a poignant example of the every day sacredness that Fr Dennis so often tried to share with us in film and poetry.
The film director, Vittorio DeSica, once again went with “real” people, rather than actors — in fact, one potential funder wanted Cary Grant to play the lead character, the father/husband, Antonio Ricci. Instead, a working man and a newspaper boy from the Rome streets, both amateurs, were cast as the father-son combination to great effect. The actor who played the wife/mom worked in the arts, though she also acted in three films total. The young boy grew up to be a math teacher!
You may recall in 2014, we watched Fellini’s LA STRADA (1954), which broke from the strict social reality foundation of Italian neorealism. THE BICYCLE THIEF was filmed and released in 1948, closer to the consequences of WWII and hews more tightly to the characteristics of the genre. Fellini’s creativity tended to cross, blend, and defy genres.
I’ll offer my thoughts below on some of my favorite or standout moments of Eucharist, reconciliation, and more couched in the everyday affairs of a struggling Italian family.
12 thoughts on “THE BICYCLE THIEF (1948)”
I’m very excited about seeing “The Bicycle Thief “. This will be a good discussion.
I wanted to come up with a theme for The Bicycle Thief. Note: in Italian it’s Bicycle Thieves, and some are wanting to use the actual translation. Makes sense because once you’ve watched the movie there are two thieves.
As Rainey summarizes, this has been a standout and breakout film since it showed in 1948. Why?
The trove of Roman street life, close camera shots of hundreds of people, careful scrutiny of their subtle mannerisms. I don’t think this is present in many movies. There is a ton to take in.
I found the theme I was looking for which is people caring deeply for others, as second nature.
The main characters are the father Antonio and his eight year old Bruno. It starts with a friend of Antonio yelling for him to come over to the group waiting to hear about a job offer. So, help coming from probably a casual acquaintance, to a group led by an agency trying to help fellows needing jobs. DeSica pans the small crowd of job-seekers touchingly.
His wife helps him get his bike back from the pawn shop.
His boy-beyond-his-years lovingly and steadfastly stays by his side the entire film.
When the bike is stolen strangers come to his aid to pursue the thief. Antonio goes to a friend to enlist his help which he unquestioningly does. The police are always there to help the best they can.
The church group in its mission to help those from a Rome neighborhood in need.
When Antonio confronts the guy he recognizes as the thief, the fellow’s neighbors strongly come to HIS aid. (Antonio has no proof.)
And when Antonio finally succumbs and steals a bike, the owner looks him over, sees Bruno too, and forgives, telling the crowd to let him go.
People helping one another unflinchingly.
So much of the poignancy of this film occurs in silence or through setting.
This viewing, the scale of the pawnshop warehouse struck me, as Antonio (the father) watches his wife’s dowry of bed linens to be taken 20 feet up to one shelf among many shelves filled with other people’s linens and belongings, all to get his still dented bicycle back. A moment of unspoken, unclarified emotion wells in Antonio’s eyes and eventually settles into optimistic resignation as he goes to reclaim his bicycle. (Okay .. and for this 21st century bicyclist – how Antonio transports his family on that bicycle is hard-going for rider and cyclist, especially on those roads!!)
With so much of the film following the search for the bicycle, the character of the wife/mom and other women did not stand out as much, though there was much richness in those moments, too (particularly at the seer’s apartment).
At the beginning of the film, there is a lot of eye “conversation,” exchanges of looks and smiles, physical contact, and spoken conversation. Over the course of the film, as Antonio follows his obsession to get the bike returned, he becomes less and less aware of his son. Antonio keeps following the loss, and Bruno keeps following his father.
The two scenes that bookend this observation are the meal scene in the ristorante (“We are NOT a pizzeria!”) and the final scene. Antonio tenderly decides to use some of their limited money for a celebration of food to fortify their bodies and spirits. During the meal, the connection between Antonio’s and Bruno’s focus begins to part. They both gustily enjoy the food, and Antonio the wine. Antonio’s focus of the conversation is on the “what if’s” of life lost with the stolen bicycle; Bruno’s focus is on the table next to theirs and being with his beloved papá. The mix of cheesy bread, wine, the music, and the hope lead our hearts one way, but the desperation starting to creep in to the father’s tone and classism of the restaurant pull my heart the other way. Here’s another interesting take on the meal.
(Of course, I don’t know enough Italian to make out what the singer is singing, or if that song added particular levels of meaning!) Anyone?
As we approach the final scene, Bruno is obviously physically and emotionally exhausted, but Antonio is no longer seeing his beloved son, whom, at one level, he is supposedly doing this for. But all balance is lost. In one scene, Bruno almost gets hit by a truck, as he desperately tries to cross a street so not to lose sight of his papá. I could certainly empathize both with getting lost in the task and trying to stay close to the people we love.
The final scene when Antonio can no longer bear the loss of his dreams and steals the bike leads to a brilliantly captured reconciliation. After his attempt to steal the bike, Antonio – facing the eagerness of the crowd to send him to prison realizes he was saved only by his son’s presence – continues the self-focus that has been growing ever since the meal. He walks in a brooding, isolating silence. Bruno’s idealization of his father has been trampled along with Antonio’s hat; he is wrung out physically and emotionally. After all that, Antonio receives reconciliation from his son and they walk together again, Bruno quietly placing his hand in his father’s, present to each other again.
Here’s the missing link!
You were able to mine so much detail Rainey. “Bruno’s idealization of his father has been trampled along with Antonio’s hat.” What an observation! More reason to understand this is a magnificently-crafted movie.
I agree with the comments made by Tom & Rainey. As already mentioned the most hopeful moment came at the end when the son and father walk hand in hand. Yes there were caring and loving moments scattered throughout the film but after such a fruitless search for the stolen bike this scene gave hope that they would somehow survive.
The son was ever faithful following his father even when the father grew increasingly agressive. The father’s anger and desperation is understandable given the poverty after the war. He is responsible for feeding his family.
I did like the mother’s response at the start when they needed to buy back the bicycle from the pawn shop. “We can sleep without sheets.” She was optimistic. When the sheets are pawned the shop operator gives them a little more than he first offered. Another case in Tom’s thesis of people helping people. The father watches carefully where their bed linen is stacked. As Rainey mentioned it is a towering stack of shelves indicating how many people were desperate to find money for food but it also signals that he intended to return and retrieve his wife’s dowry. He was now so hopeful because he had a job.
It was absolutely amazing how many bikes must have been stolen as seen as they walked and searched through the markets.
During my visits to small Italian towns in this new century, many men still meet at the coffee shop in the morning to see what day jobs were available. The cousin of our A2 friend had a state job for road construction or repair but that was not daily employment. He supplemented with these day jobs. His wife worked as a house cleaner in town. However, they did have a nice house and garden but they both worked very hard. They picked chestnuts in the fall to be marketed to the US.
Maybe more later about the movie. One question: when the sister of the bike thief enters the upstairs apartment, what is she carrying?
There was an up to date story about the same thing in the NYT today about the high number of delivery people in Brooklyn who are struggling to support themselves and their families and are having their electric bikes stolen- . Bicycle Thieves. It is the same old story of people scratching about a living to support their families being victimized by others they do not know who have no concern for them. . I am sure I will not remember the details of this article for long. But I saw the Bicycle Thieves over 50 years ago in a screen arts class and will never forget some of the imagery – The father sitting on the curb taking a break from searching for his bike having bike after bike ride past his face as he sits there in despair.
What makes the movie great is not the “stars” but the visual artistry of the director who for the most part used untrained actors to tell his tale through through visual art. Without words how often are we taken into the minds of the main characters as seeing the world through their eyes. Through their eyes we understand what they are thinking and feeling. Do we need words to feel and understand the emotions at the end as the father begins to shad tears and his son, walking with him looks up at him, understands, and takes his hand.
Thank you Rainey for pointing out the charity shown by the stranger who had his bike stolen by the father but sees and connects with his son’s concern for him and mercifully does not have him prosecuted. The stranger’s neighbors had all come to his assistance in catching the father, just as the neighbors of the person the father identified as stealing his bike came to his assistance. We often forget the stranger who is not our known neighbor is in the same situation as ourselves. as Tom points out, the director captures the theme of caring for one another during hard times without ever speaking the words.
Ii hope to watch the film again soon, 50 years has been a long time. Just as a note, I recently watched Nomadlands. it too is a visual piece of art. There are only two professional actors but the directors tells a beautiful story through her visual mastery.
Thanks, Kevin — As I mentioned in the email, I have the library DVD, the Criterion Collection restored 50th anniversary set. So you are welcome to stop by and pick it up for viewing. Just going for quick turnarounds in case anyone else wants to watch it! Thanks for making that connection between NOMADLANDS and BICYCLE THIEVES in the sparse use of professional actors. Both directors left their film endings open to hope and more of the same, a deft touch..
I was glad to find Bicycle Thieves on Kanopy.com so I could watch it twice with a few days in between. I enjoyed and appreciate the comments others have made.
I’ll start with a comment about the film-making itself. I was very impressed with how the Director worked with ordinary people to be the actors – it was really extraordinary. Also, the overall flow of the film, the narrative structure, was perfect. That said, I’m not sure why some people say it is the one of the best films ever made — because it was one of the saddest films I have ever seen, and I have trouble seeing it any other way.
For me, the film showed how poverty and exclusion could bring out the worst in otherwise good people.
At the very beginning of the film, we see that Antonio has apparently been out of work for two years, and he has given up hope, until the posting job appears — for which he is clearly not very qualified. Life could get better for his family, but only if Maria agrees to pawn the last thing they have of value in order to redeem the one other thing they had of value, Antonio’s bicycle. Then the first bicycle thief takes the new hope away, and from then on, the story is how Antonio gets crushed, and his worst traits begins to emerge as he attempts the impossible task of recovering the bike. Clearly he is no saint, but under this pressure, he is unkind to his wife and son (who clearly adores him throughout), seeks help from an apparent mobster, threatens people — “I’ll kill you” he says more than once — disrupts a church service, squanders their last money to try to please his now upset son, gets violent with an innocent man with seizures, and doesn’t even have the decency to apologize to any of these people. Finally he becomes the second bicycle thief, falling all the way from trying to be a good husband and father, to being just another petty criminal. This is why “The Bicycle Thieves” is a good title – there are only two thefts in the movie, and there are only two thieves, the first successful, the second a complete failure.
And although Antonio and his family have lots of company in poverty, throughout the story, we see plenty of people who are well off and scornful of those who are poor: The many automobiles cruising by, the officious church people who insist on church attendance before providing a grudging meal of pasta and potatoes, the snobbish people at the restaurant, the massive crowds attending the football match, who are all better dressed and who possess bikes galore. Why are so many people deprived while so many are well off? What did Antonio do to deserve this?
There is a beautiful moment when Bruno unwittingly saves his father from jail, but this is the final crushing of Antonio – he failed to protect his son from witnessing how he has become another thief. “A fine example for your son,” says one of the men who caught him in the act. He has completely failed his family and himself – that’s why he cries as his walks home with his son.
This was a bruising lesson that poverty and exclusion really hurt people in their souls.
I was so disturbed that I did a bit of research on the post-war economy of Italy. It was completely destroyed by the war, but in a couple of years after the film was made, the Italian economy boomed thanks to the Marshall plan. So maybe Antonio and his family would have recovered if their story continued.
You have a terrific take on the movie David. So different than my seeing it as fellowship, with so many helping others. Perhaps that what make good art -the ability to view it with multiple outcomes.
Tom, I really like your take – I hadn’t seen that at all in my first viewing, but you are right – so many people were helping and looking out for each other! Even the group of men that caught Antonio at the end.
Agreeing with you both! The artistry of this film in capturing the richness of the fabric of life, with its harming and helping relationships, without a clear right/wrong narrative is compelling; and probably why this is a good movie but a tough movie. Thanks, David and Tom for the good thoughts.


A National Stage Company of Canada Premiere Presentation

Award-Winning Canadian Stage Actress,
KATE NIEDJALSKI as Tina Denmark
THE STAGE MOTHER OF ALL MUSICALS
“A spoof that has enough absurd plot twists and multiple identities to fill several old movies...
The fun comes from the sheer brazenness!”
The New York Times
SOME KIDS WILL DO ANYTHING TO BE A STAR….ANYTHING
Wimpy and untalented mother Judy Denmark, is a 1950's all-American housewife with an absentee husband and a precocious and remarkably talented daughter named Tina, who is desperate to perform. Sleazy talent agent Sylvia St. Croix wants to make Tina a star and sees the upcoming school play 'Pippi in Tahiti' as the perfect launching pad for her career. She encourages Tina to audition for the lead role but sadly, the role goes to Louise Lerman, whose parents are financial backers of the production., and Tina is left to understudy Louise for the one-night only performance. Well, that just isn't good enough for Tina, because it means that she'll never get to play Pippi unless something were to happen to poor Louise before opening night. Tine hatches a plot to kill Louise and goes on as Pippi.
Meanwhile, Judy discovers that her mother, theatre critic Lita Encore, was actually a Broadway star, Ruth DelMarco. The news turns Judy into Ginger DelMarco, a confident (and talented) Broadway performer.
Tina's heinous act is discovered, and she's sent to the Daisy Clover School for Psychopathic Ingenues. Ginger is wowing them on Broadway, but she's in conflict with Sylvia, who also nurses aspirations of stardom. Sylvia wants to turn the newly freed Tina into the star she should be; and all three vie for the spotlight.

The Cat Returns — Studio Ghibli
Rated PG — MPPA Rating
So Last night I finally got around to watching The Cat Returns. I hadn’t watched this since I was a little kid.
Summery: (written by me)
Haru (Chizuru Ikewaki – main character) rescues a cat that was about to be run over by a truck. The cat thanks her and promises to repay her. She later discovers the cat is actually a prince named Lune. Lune’s father, the “Cat King”, thanks her by giving her a lot of presents (presents only a cat would like). Unfortunately the presents give her more trouble than gratitude of saving the cat. The king seeing this asks her to marry Lune as a way to thank her for saving him. Haru not wanting to marry asks help from The Cat Bureau. Here she meets the Baron (Yoshihiko Hakamada) and Toto, (two statues that have been given life true the power of being created wholeheartedly) and Muta the cat, who provide assistance to free her from the Cat Kingdom.
I loved re-watching this old movie. The story and the life lesson in the movie where really well done. The character’s development was short but very noticeable. If you like cute and interesting story then this is for you. Also if you ever wondered what the story written in Whisper of the Heart was, this may answer that. Over all the Movie was very solid and defiantly a must watch.
Thanks for reading Zarem’s Reviews.

Benedict Cumberbatch is appropriately menacing and Chris Pine is appropriately brash along with support by the Star Trek cast. Will be interesting to see how the movie really is when it comes out.
History Channel has taken an uncharacteristic turn away from aliens and Hitler with its new series, Vikings.
Despite some historical inaccuracies (unlike in the series, Vikings were well-aware that England lay to the west and Scandinavian society was remarkably egalitarian whereas, in the series, the Viking chieftain is an autocratic ruler), the show is well-produced and has excellent actors, including Gabriel Byrne and Gustaf Skarsgard.
In the show, Viking attacks are merely reasons for plunder while recent scholarship has shown the possibility that Viking raids were retaliation for mass executions and forced conversions by Christian kings, specifically those of Charlemagne against the Danes.
History aside, the show is great. Produced by the same people who did The Tudors, it is rich and violent, perfectly reflecting the spirit of Dark Age Europe and the rise of the powerful Scandinavian force that we call the Vikings. A force that ranged across Northern Europe, Russia, and even to the walls of Constantinople.
Any time that a show uses content from the classics I get excited because it implies that the writers care enough to add depth to their efforts. For a show that is about redemption, growth, and revenge, it just makes a richer meal.
The CW’s Arrow continues to demonstrate that and the February 13 episode was great. I’ll avoid spoilers but the episode was about Oliver’s time on the island, his relationship with Slade Wilson and more of the back story of Yao Fei.
We also get introduced to a future character from the DC lexicon, Shado and, as everyone can see from the promo pics on the internet, Felicity joins the team.
So that classical reference? It was a call phrase and an awesome one.
“Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is weaker than man.” It is from Homer’s Odyssey, a story of a man who returns home against all odds. And a perfect phrase for this show.
The question is, can one really return home the same person?
And back with a vengeance!
The 3rd and final season of the epic show based on the historical slave revolt lead by a former gladiator named Spartacus (who also had a Gaulish gladiator as co-leader named Crixus), can be seen on Starz and they are offering the first episode for free online here.
With the introduction of the character of Crassus we finally get a Roman opponent who is both cunning and yet also with honor and some principles.
I really enjoyed how the episode presented Crassus, making him a more complex character than any of the previous Romans. Especially great was his relationship with his gladiator slave whom he trained with in the art of combat.
The actor playing Crassus is Simon Merrells and here’s a red-carpet interview with him. As with the previous seasons, all of the actors went through a grueling training program to get them to look and act as warriors trained for battle.
Looking forward to a great season and a dramatic send-off to Spartacus and his brave band!


Back in November, Jillian wrote about these posters that illustrate some of our favorite children's stories. I loved the bold yet simple graphics of that collection. So, I was really pleased to stumble upon the following poster series designed by Paul Smith for the film, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. I am again struck by the power of simple graphics to tell a story. In honor of the Academy Awards, I thought these would be fun to share.
Signed editions of these silk screened posters are available from Paul Smith's online shop, here. Also, if you are a fan of cold war spy films like me, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a must-see. Enjoy!

You love the idea of Star Wars, but can't really commit to the movies yet. They have that Clone Wars show on Cartoon Network, but Ben 10 remains your cartoon of choice. Still, you have four light sabers, two "learn to read" Clone Wars books, several "action" figures from the series, two games for the Wii and more than three Star Wars Lego sets. So Star Wars is very relevant to you, even if you aren't really sure what it's about.
You were disappointed when I revealed that Anakin is Darth Vader, so I tried to redeem myself by telling you that in the end, Darth Vader made the right choice; but you were still upset that Anakin gave into the dark side and now I can't answer your questions as to how that happened because I only watched enough of the movies to know the basics and how much Jar Jar Binks annoyed hard core fans.
(Shhh...I actually kind of liked Jar Jar.)

Allison Moore is an independent artist, educator and cultural operator based in Montreal. Originally from Victoria, BC Moore has produced work in the Japan, Europe, Brazil, Cuba, and Australia. She has developed projects in video, animation and interactive computing as an invited artist at Studio XX, OBORO and the Society of Arts and Technology in Montreal.
In addition to her artistic practice, Moore has worked as professional editor, compositor and animator for film and television as well as teaching workshops for new media art practices. She has independently directed short experimental films, music videos and theatre projects. Moore’s work is funded through the Quebec Council of Arts and the Canada Council For the Arts.
Her work explores in a playful and systemic manner the fascinating universe of the dematerialization and the decontextualization of the image and the body as much on a conceptual level than on a technological one. Moore’s research and works reinterpret and rebuild the world as a metaphoric landscape in which sensitive beings are in synergy with their allegorical macrocosm.


We went to see the movie, “The Other Side of Heaven 2”, and I thought it would be good to share my impressions with you.
We were fortunate to be with a group that previewed the movie before it was shown to the general public. The theater was filled with relatives of one of the main characters in the movie, Tonga Toutai Paletu’a. The story was about his conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and his relationship with his family prior to that decision and after.
Elder John H. Groberg was depicted in the movie as the LDS Mission President at the time who had served his first mission in Tonga. My husband happened to be one of his missionaries. This movie has special significance to us and to our family. Another interesting fact is that our daughter married the grandson of Tonga Toutai Paletu’a! It was very exciting to have so many connections.
We had been anticipating this movie since we found out there would be a Part II, having loved the first movie ten years earlier.
One thing I was interested in was that the same actor who played John Groberg’s part also starred in the second movie. He had hardly changed in many years and did an excellent job in both. Anne Hathaway who had played his wife in the first has gone on to become quite a Hollywood star, so they chose another actress, Natalie Medlock to play the part of his wife. I thought she did a marvelous job!
I enjoyed the movie from start to finish beginning from when it showed BYU TV and Kolipoki Pictures. Those of us who have lived in Tonga or are somehow affiliated with it will know the significance of the name Kolipoki. It is “Groberg” Tonganized.
The actors chosen to play Toutai Paletu’a and his family were all excellent! The man who portrayed his father even made me dislike him very much for his portrayal of a very strict minister who would not admit his own faults.
There are many lessons throughout the movie that can benefit all people. Respect, forgiveness, love of family, hard work, the power of prayer, and fasting, Christlike love, and many more.
The fact that I personally knew Toutai Paletu’a and his wife made the movie so much more meaningful. When we lived in Tonga, when you met President Paletu’a, it seemed as if he could see right through you. He knew that I was having a very difficult time adjusting to my new life in the little islands. He told me if my husband ever gave me a hard time, he would talk to him. Somehow he sensed my culture shock and was trying to help me out.
The person that played our late prophet Thomas S. Monson has an uncanny likeness to him. I almost forgot it wasn’t really him. Kudos to the person who found him.
My favorite movies are those based on true life heroes. This was definitely one of our family’s favorites. One of the stories portrayed in the movie took me right back.
The Grobergs had several daughters until they moved to Tonga where they were blessed with a son, John. The baby became very ill and was close to death when the Queen and all the people who knew them fasted and prayed for him to get better.
When we lived in Tonga, I gave birth to my first son. He was very small and became so ill that he was unconscious. We rushed him to the hospital which was a 15-20 minute drive from where we lived in Liahona. I tried to wake him up all the way there, but he would not. Once we got him to the hospital, Dr. Havili gave him a shot of adrenalin. We were so happy to finally hear his little cry and knew he would be alright. I relived this experience through the movie.
The Grobergs worried over their sick son in the movie.
Spoiler alert: Why was the movie rated PG-13? I was a bit concerned taking my grandchildren to see it because of the rating. The fact that the father threatened his son not to come home ever again and asked his other son to throw a piglet into the ocean (substituting the pig for his son). The other part that was offensive, and I understand it did not really happen, was when the father buried one disobedient son in the sand at the beach and then there was a big storm that could have drowned him, but somehow he escaped. The other scene is when their baby was thrown to a person from the boat to the shore. My little granddaughter was quite upset about that. Someone mentioned the plucking of dead chickens as being offensive, but I was used to that when I lived in Tonga (try eating one of those rubber chickens)!
My favorite part besides the adorable children’s interaction with their father was when the wife of Paletu’a’s father called him a stubborn pig. Because, he was!
I urge you all to see the movie and you will come away with a new awareness of life in Tonga and a greater appreciation for those that stay true to their beliefs despite many hardships. Congratulations Elder and Sister Groberg on fulfilling President Monson’s wish of a comeback!


Movie-wise, I've been very lucky. Two beloved franchises that shaped my childhood--Star Trek and Planet of the Apes--have been rebooted for the 21st Century with stellar movies. Star Trek was not that much of a surprise, considering JJ Abrams was involved, although I did have my misgivings. Rise of the Planet of the Apes came out of nowhere. I didn't know about it until I saw the trailor a few months back (a rarity for someone like me who scpurs the net for new geek stuff). I found the trailor and was impressed with the CGI work. With WETA (Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong, and Avatar) doing the motion-capture work I know it was going to look great. But it was the story itself along with the odes to the original franchise that blew me away when I saw it over the weekend. Better yet, I took my 6-year-old son with me and he loved it. Now we both share a love for the Apes.
I was actually younger than my son when I fell in love with the franchise. That was right before Star Wars came out. My older brother was already a sci-fi geek so besides Saturday Morning Cartoons, there was Star Trek in syndication, and weekend movies of Planet of the Apes, Forbidden Planet, Fantastic Voyage, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. There was also Godzilla movies and "Creature Feature" on Channel 5 which was a Saturday afternoon show broadcasting monster flicks every week. Man, I loved monsters back then. But, really, it was mainly all about Star Trek and Planet of the Apes.
Back then (well before Oprah), ABC Channel 7 used to broadcast between 4:30 and 6 pm a weekly movie. Planet of the Apes week was my favorite. I never missed it. The original used to be split into 2 and the other days showed 3 movies (Beneath, Escape, and Conquest). The last one, Battle for the Planet of the Apes was still in primetime movie rotation so when CBS broadcast it at night I lobbied hard to stay up to watch it and, fortunately, my parents always obliged.
In retrospect, Star Trek and Planet of the Apes were perfect counterweights. Star Trek showed the promise of the future while Planet of the Apes showed its bleakness. I gravitated more toward Apes in my story telling because I was never one for happy endings. But with the brilliant rebirth of the franchise, in a sense, I got my happy ending afterall.

TNB Presents “Any Given Moment”
September 7, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Theatre New Brunswick launch 50th anniversary season with world premiere by New Brunswick playwright Any Given Moment by Kim Parkhill will tour the province September 4-9 before a six performance run in Fredericton at the Open Space Theatre. Directed by Natasha MacLellan. Saint John Show Friday Sept 7th at BMO Theatre.


New music for this Wednesday is actually from a new TV show starting this fall...Glee. It's going to be on Fox and I will admit that I am looking forward to it and will watch. This is the song from the ending scene.
If you missed the pilot episode, you can catch it on Hulu.com. Basically, it is about a high school glee club (show choir) and if you knew me in high school (I will admit), I did my fair share of singing and dancing in show choir.


True color infrared photography, which was a film stock manufactured by Kodak (Aerochrome), was retired in 2007 and any remaining stock is long expired. There is just no such thing as hoarding Aerochrome film since it was basically expired the moment it left the shelf. It was hard to use and getting a good exposure was an endless trial. It had to be loaded in complete darkness with film cameras that were almost completely manual and free of electronics. During my period of infrared obsession from 2000- 2003, I shot perhaps 50 rolls of Aerochrome and exposed probably 100 good frames. A few were interesting, most were tossed.
The images I selected for this gallery were mostly made in 2002 when I was shooting my experimental film about ghost towns, "Dead Lonesome." At that time I was hard at work trying to talk Kodak into granting my production a 400' roll of the film stock to shoot through a 35mm motion picture camera. Kodak said it couldn't be done and that "motion picture cameras are light leak traps." I politely disagreed since at the time I managed a satellite office for a major rental house in Salt Lake City and I knew Arriflex movie cameras inside and out and I assured them I knew how to seal off all the possible points of entry for light leaks, but in the end, it was a no go. Their final argument, and it is a valid one, is that no film lab could process 400' of Aerochrome infrared film without introducing some sort of invisible light into the mix. To this day I so regret not fighting Kodak harder. I'm good at badgering people into doing things my way, especially if it's a one off deal. To my knowledge nobody has shot color infrared moving film images and I wanted to be that filmmaker who pulled it off.


Because I don’t want Glass to distract me during the movie, I turn them off (but since my prescription lenses are on the frame, I still wear them). About an hour into the movie (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit), a guy comes near my seat, shoves a badge that had some sort of a shield on it, yanks the Google Glass off my face and says “follow me outside immediately”.
This is a very disturbing ordeal that this man went through. I don't quite get why the Department of Homeland Security is tasked with movie bootlegging.
The way that he was treated during his 3.5 hour interrogation doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.


The Short Story about Dune 2021 Movie
It’s basically good looking people fighting ugly people in futuristic suits, some daft names and very little storyline. Lynch’s Dune had some grit and balls the current version of Dune is like a giant fancy Gateaux cake that looks amazing but tastes of nothing and is simply full of sugar.
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Stars: Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac
Is it really possible to stream Dune movie online ?
The answer is, Yes! We have found the choices where you can stream the full movie. It’s very easy just keep reading. As you already know the production company Warner Bros has released the Dune movie in October, and got a large gross in theaters. The movie is ready for streaming online at HBO Max service.
Dune Movie Review
“Dune” is a great book and it, along with its sequels, are compelling reading. However, they are NOT short nor light reading and to make a decent version of the first book, it’s hard to imagine doing anything other than making a mini-series. This was one of several reasons why I hated the David Lynch version from 1984. It crammed so much stuff into such a short film that it often was confusing….and the director himself hated the film. Apparently, the studio took the movie away from him and hacked it to pieces…thus making it so confusing. Because of this, I was not interested in seeing this 2021 version….until I learned it was only part one and the second film would complete the first “Dune” book.
So, from the outset, this film can’t help but be better than the 1984 version. BUT, it manages to do something I didn’t expect…it’s actually TOO long…or so it felt due to the pacing and ridiculous number of big scenes were not much happens but you see a lot of eye candy…along with very moody music. In many ways, it reminded me of the first “Star Trek” movie…which was so long and tedious…and had too many scenes where you just see a ship flying through space! And, in “Dune: Part One” there are too many scenes like this and not enough emotion and dialog. In other words, it seems to need a more personal and human tough to make it a truly great film. Now I am not saying it’s bad or to avoid it. But the film could have been tightened up a bit and paced better.
Fortunately, if you have never read “Dune”, this film is approachable and does follow the book closely.
This movie is an auditory and visual spectacle, I will not lie. But every other aspect is mediocre. We have some real acting powerhouses here (Chalamet, Ferguson, Isaac, Momoa, Brolin, Skarsgard, Bardem) who are trying their best, but are given so little to work with. Batista is serviceable, Zendaya has nothing to do in the movie and is a meh actress anyhow, Momoa is lackluster as always.
I’ve never read Dune but I have a basic knowledge of the plot and it strikes me as something that would be best served as a TV show, and with some heavy plot reworking to get some B plots going while the A plot is still slow-rolling.
The plot is slow and meandering, with many pointless scenes and lots of talking about nothing. Things don’t start HAPPENING until the last act. Ferguson spends most of her time crying, Chalamet spends most of his time smirking, whispering, and having dreams of Zendaya standing around. There is no climax, the movie just ends with the assumption you’ll go see Part II. Give this one a pass.


Hey, y’all! Here’s today’s (actual) post. Now, “Curiosity Killed The Cat” was a skit I made in English class, with ideas and events contributed by pandawarrior and the other three group members (whose names will not be disclosed); all of them were actors in the play itself (pandawarrior played Gusto and a very important cat ((VIC)) hehe). I am proud to have acted out the part of Curiosity and Mystic myself (although it got a little weird when I had to fight myself LOL). Since it was just a short skit, I couldn’t put much detail into it, but afterwards I adapted it into a short story so I could show it to y’all (because it’s hard for anyone to understand my notes xD). Still, though, it’s not very good..
A little background on the characters: Curiosity is an escaped murderer who is partially insane and says “Curiosity killed the cat!” after every kill. She has two accomplices.
Background on more characters will be revealed after the characters come up. For now, here it is!
Note that it’s too long to shove into one post (and I need something for the rest of the week too). This bit is really short because I couldn’t find a spot to cut off in the middle of the next scene, which was a tad too long.
The snow-white shecat crouched over the black cat’s dead body. “Midnight is gone. The key is mine. Curiosity killed the cat!”
She tentatively pawed the dead cat’s matted, unkempt fur, her hesitant snow-white paws contrasting with Midnight’s dark color, then looked up. “You’ve done well.”
“Thank you,” came a soft voice from the shadows. “I try my best.”
There was a low growl. “I don’t understand why she gets to do all the luring.”
“Because she’s not intimidating.” The white shecat rolled her eyes.
“We have to go,” the shadow-voice whispered. “I can sense someone approaching.”
The shecat stood up, stretching. Her long white fur bushed out, and she streaked away, the other two cats following her. Midnight still laid among the grass, motionless, as the three murderers vanished into the night.

Gérard Depardieu arrives at the BRIFF!
The BRIFF is more than happy to welcome Gérard Depardieu, who will do us the honour to present Les Valseuses, the cult film of the 1970s, was it necessary to remind it.
Rendez-vous on Monday 25 June at 8.30 pm at Palace.
In the movie Les Valseuses, two rascals live their freedom, in a still stranded France, between provocations, aggressions and love encounters. When released, the film shaked film theatres, but on the other hand was considered “immoral” and “shocking” by some. It has indeed been banned for those under 18 years old. Despite everything, Les Valseuses became in France the third biggest success of 1974.
Before the screening, the actor will be welcomed at the Brussels City Hall where he will be decorated with the Medal of the City of Brussels by the Mayor Philippe Close and the deputy mayor for Culture and Tourism, Karine Lalieux.

In an attempt to narrow my focus, I have selected 10 narratives that I have created within the last few years. By examining these 10 narratives I hope to find recurring themes, characters, and narrative structures. This process is meant to reveal what I have been drawn to in my storytelling, and provide me with themes that I may wish to explore more deeply in fourth year.
I will start by introducing each story with a brief plot summary:
Fashion Ghost – A sassy ghost, who has everything handed to her, learns that hard work is the only way to produce something meaningful. In her case that meaningful thing is a line of clothing that is visible to the living.
Rapunzel – A boy-crazy Rapunzel is sitting in her tower reading Teen magazines when a prince discovers and befriends her. To impress him she cuts her hair, not realizing that that was the only way for him to enter her tower.
Grease – A girl refuses to kiss her co-star, a slug-man, in their high school musical. However, after getting to know him, the girl falls for him and, on opening night, they proudly kiss in front of a horrified audience. Seeing the reaction of the audience the girl recoils in disgust and leaves the slug-man alone on stage.
Seagull Boy – A mischievous boy is convinced that he can transform into a seagull, but it appears that he may be making this up as a means to escape into a world where he is not teased at school.
Libra – A bratty boy dies and arrives in an afterlife waiting room only to discover that his files say he was not supposed to die for another 70 years. A mishmash of disgruntled weirdos make it their mission to return the boy to Earth by traveling through a world filled with religious contradiction, while they are pursued by an organization trying to cover up their mistake.
Banana – A idealistic, wealthy girl reluctantly attends debutante-type parties to find a suitor, but she has little interest in settling down. After being discovered at one of these parties by The Feminist-Lazer-Ponytail-Brigade, an organization she had joined in secret a year earlier, she is hunted down in attempts to exterminate her. Meanwhile, she clumsily explores working-class culture but is unable to locate her place within any of these realms of society.
Bladder – A man must confront his sadistic, controlling bladder in order to leave the washroom.
Oh Man – A macho monster is caught off guard when he is attracted to a woman’s purse. When he eventually tries it on, he explodes into a sparkly mess.
The Consumers – The Consumers, an alien race, are sent to Earth to devour the magical strings attached to the top of every human head that keep the planet from crashing into the sun. However, the naive and exuberant, Harriett, and her new alien friends rescue the planet from its fiery end with the help of Harriett’s extremely long golden locks.
The GingerBred Boys – The GingerBred Boys, a detective squad of gingers, Tor, Oscar, and Randy, chase a missing cat into the ocean and discover that a Rainbow Witch is flooding their town with her tears because she has been separated from her body by the evil mermaid king, Glen Schroeder. After discovering that the GingerBred Boys themselves are just fragments of Tor’s personality, Tor decides that united they can defeat Glen, but Oscar thinks differently and kills Randy…

Binge and Repeat: Ghosts and memories haunt Netflix’s ‘The Haunting of Bly Manor’
The minds behind the popular horror series “The Haunting of Hill House” are back with a chilling new tale, just in time for the Halloween season.
“The Haunting of Hill House” creator Mike Flanagan and producer Trevor Macy teamed up to make a loose adaptation of Henry James’ “The Turn of the Screw” to provide viewers with “The Haunting of Bly Manor.”
The latest horror series on Netflix tells the story of an American nanny who goes to live with a pair of young children on a large estate in England. Unfortunately for the nanny and all those (still) living at Bly Manor, the house is haunted by more than the memories of the children’s deceased parents. The longer the nanny stays at Bly Manor, the more unsettling the tale becomes as viewers discover that she’s haunted not only by her own past, but by the history of the old house.
While the series is not as creepy or terrifying as “The Haunting of Hill House,” the events of “The Haunting of Bly Manor” certainly leave the audience with a chill along their spine as the uneasy ghost story unfolds.
What makes this particular horror series more compelling is that the characters are not only faced with ghostly terrors but the fear of being trapped within their memories. When the characters find themselves “tucked away,” they have a difficult time distinguishing reality from memory and find themselves playing out the past over and over again. In a disturbing twist, the residents of Bly Manor discover that dead, doesn’t mean gone at this supernatural estate.
Fans of “The Haunting of Hill House” will find plenty of familiar faces among the “Bly Manor” cast, including Victoria Pedretti as Dani the nanny, Henry Thomas as the children’s Uncle Henry Wingrave, Oliver Jackson-Cohen as Peter, Katie Parker as Perdita, Kate Siegel as Viola and Carla Gugino as the storyteller. In addition to the “Haunting of Hill House” faces, the cast is rounded out by the children, Amelie Bea Smith as Flora and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Miles, who reside at Bly Manor with Rahul Kohli playing the chef Owen, Amelia Eve playing the gardener Jamie and T’Nia Miller as the housekeeper, Mrs. Grose.
“The Haunting of Bly Manor” has one season available on Netflix. The series is rated TV-MA. Viewers who have already watched the “Haunting of Hill House” might also enjoy “Monsterland” on Hulu, the anthology series that asks viewers if the monsters are limited to the supernatural forces.

Immigration issues at heart of playMar 3, 2014 From staff reports
The performance will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday at Central Wyoming College.
"No Roosters in the Desert," a play that follows the journey of four women crossing the Arizona desert from Mexico in search of a new life in the United States, will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday at Central Wyoming College.
The play was written by Kara Hartzler, an immigration attorney and playwright. She based her characters on a composite of interviews with 130 migrant women.
The story follows the women as they cross the border and become lost in the desert.
"The play delivers a powerful message of survival and perseverance and challenges audiences to evaluate their own views on immigration," said director Luis Guerrero.
The cast consists of bilingual Latina actors who bring a "depth of personal experience to their roles," he added.
The company is collaborating with students from CWC and Riverton, Wind River, Fort Washakie and Wyoming Indian high schools to build scenic elements for the play. The students are asked to research the philosophical concept of borders and boundaries within the context of U.S. immigration history and interpret their findings artistically to produce 4- by 8-foot collage panels before the production, Guerrero said. He will spend a week in the classroom guiding the creative process to completion.
Following each performance, the audience will be invited to participate in a conversation with Guerrero, the cast and scholars. These talk-back sessions provide audiences with an opportunity to ask questions and share their stories about immigration.
"One of the primary goals of this project is to explore how storytelling can function as a bridge between cultures and spark community-wide conversations," Guerrero said.
When the show was performed in Jackson by the Riot Act Theatre Company in 2012, the post-show conversation included English and Spanish speakers.
"We hope that what we experienced in Jackson with this play can be duplicated in other communities around Wyoming," Guerrero said.
Tickets are $5 and are available at the CWC Box Office or at Mammoth Music.
The event is sponsored by CWC's Diversity Committee, Arts in Action and the Zócalo Arts Collective.


It’s the time of the year when you get inundated by critics’ top ten movies of 2014. While I don’t think this year stands up very well compared to the great movies of 2013, there were some standouts so here’s my list:
1 > The Trip to Italy
Directed by: Michael Winterbottom
This movie really made me smile and I instantly proclaimed it the movie of the summer. Comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon take a culinary tour of some of the most breathtaking spots in Italy. The ongoing comedic banter between the two of them will have you laughing out loud.
2 > Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow
Directed by: Doug Liman
This year’s mega-blockbuster was truly clever rather than full of mindless action. Cruise and Blunt make a great team as they plan, train and fight battles over and over again. Gamers out there who are accustomed to re-spawning after being killed will feel right at home.
3 > Interstellar
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan pushes the envelope in bringing the many theories of space, time, gravity and physics to life on the big screen. Whether you liked it or not, no movie was talked about and debated more in social media than this one which means it did something right. In the end, this was a movie about the strength of love between a father and a daughter.
4 > Gone Girl
Directed by: David Fincher
When Ben Affleck reports that his wife, Rosamund Pike, has gone missing, the audience descends into a world where uncomfortable marriage secrets come to light. Did he kill his wife or didn’t he? This is one of the best plots with some of the best plot twists I’ve ever seen on the big screen.
5 > Nightcrawler
Directed by: Dan Gilroy
Jake Gyllenhaal’s morally depraved character takes us on a ride into the dark world of filming the aftermath of car crashes, murders and other crimes for money. I don’t know if I’ve ever been so creeped out by a character portayal before.
6 > Whiplash
Directed by: Damien Chazelle
This riveting movie about a young jazz drummer at a top music conservatory grabs a hold of you in the first few seconds and doesn’t let go until the closing credits start rolling. Taught by a music instructor that’s more like a drill sergeant, you come to learn what obsession and perfection are truly all about.
7 > Chef
Directed by: Jon Favreau
Jon Favreau is a Chef at a high-end Los Angeles restaurant who quits his job in order find the person he once was. This movie makes you feel good all over as Favreau launches a food truck to get back to what he loves about the kitchen and builds a bond with his son by working together.
8 > Guardians of the Galaxy
Directed by: James Gunn
Chris Pratt is a “junker” bounty hunter named Star-Lord who takes you on a Star Wars-like romp through the galaxy. This entertaining movie packs in plenty of laughs and lots of adventure as he tries to protect a mysterious orb that is coveted by the forces of evil.
9 > The Grand Budapest Hotel
Directed by: Wes Anderson
Ralph Fiennes takes us on a quirky adventure as the concierge of a famous hotel in pre-war Europe. If you’re a fan of Wes Anderson’s off-beat humor, this movie won’t disappoint because it’s his best work yet.
10 > Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Directed by: Joe Russo and Anthony Russo
“How do we know the good guys from the bad guys? If they’re shooting at you they’re bad.” In this latest Marvel movie, Captain America is still adjusting to living in the modern world when he finds himself the target of assassins who want to shut him up before a reveals an evil conspiracy. If you love super hero movie, you’ll love this one.

* WITHOUT SPOILERS *
Pascal Payant is a freelance director whom has the particularity to assemble his own short and feature films independently. From pre-production to the promotion of his productions, this Quebecer filmmaker accommodates himself with all the tasks: staging, editing, calibration, sound mixing, etc.
His first feature film, On the Horizon, had a budget of just $ 50,000 and an astonishing, seductive and magical result. It is a real cinematic favorite which I will tell you about in this new section, dedicated to “discoveries “.
SYNOPSIS : Casey’s life was going pretty well until he got a call from his ex. This unstable woman is completely incompatible with him, but yet he feels so good with her … Their passion is reborn, then, almost immediately, it disappeared again when Elissa broke up with him. She finds herself in the arms of another former lover, while Casey plunges headlong into his work and hobbies, without enthusiasm, but thinking that this will perhaps allow his injuries to heal. But can a love that should never have existed really die ?
An aesthtetical movie
The quality of On the Horizon lies in its visual aesthetics, in the beauty of its natural sets and in the symbolic geometry of specific plans.
It sometimes is flirting between advertising for a Hugo Boss fragrance (and this is not a flaw, nor even a blame) and a romantic road trip. Pascal Payant captures his environment with a lot of grace and offers an explosion of color almost indecent for our eyes, overwhelmed by sumptuous natural decor. The film, shot notably in Utah in the United States, reveals its warm canyons as well as an unreal white desert (Salt Lake City).
It is in those idyllic landscapes, that Pascal Payant will stage the carelessness of the youth and the notions of freedom that will guide the two heroes in the first act of the film. This quest for sentimental freedom is visible, for example, in the sequence taking place in the white desert, where the two lovers bathe in an out-of-time-happiness, far from the bustle of the city. A place similar to Paradise but which will also be a Hell for Casey and Elissa, since this steppe will provoke and reveal the internal conflicts, which have plagued them for so many years.
Pascal Payant also finds inspiration in painting and the artistic genre known as « Still Life ».
In this plan (image on the left), we can see all the characteristics of a painting of still life : various objects (glasses, plates, lamp), food / drinks (wines) and a black skull. This skull has, moreover, an important symbolism in the construction of this scene and in history, in general. It characterizes a story of stillborn love, its fragility, in short, a love relationship doomed to failure. We can also see it by the distance between Casey and Elissa and their behaviors.
. Geometry is rewarding !
As we just saw, Pascal Payant leaves nothing to chance, whether it is the choice of accessories, images’ places or composition, the frames, etc… The filmmaker offers a remarkable film, beyond the simple aesthetic dressing.
The geometry of the plans is also a major asset in the staging of On The Horizon, as evidenced by this plan (image on the left), where Elissa is seated on a castle’s windowsill. There too, the symbolism is strong.
* SPOILERS * : The immensity of the shot represents Elissa’s state of mind at the time of the film, namely, the immensity of her loneliness and the fragile balance of her relationships. * END SPOILERS *
* SPOILERS * Ironically, this geometry, this perfection in the plans, will crumble as the love story between Casey and Elissa deteriorates. In particular in the end – where Casey frees himself from the toxic grip of her relationship with Elissa – will consist of untidy scenes, with a crazy camera, without snagging. * END SPOILERS *
On The Horizon is a romantic road trip with impeccable visual aesthetics. It is a sweet and tasty little candy, which seduces by its majestic mastering of the image, but also by this toxic love story between two disturbed young adults due to an emotional attachment, of which getting rid-off seems to be an impossible act.

LBCC Student's Short Film Examines Long Beach Ranch Area
In a little-known pocket of west Long Beach, horse ranch owners are battling the county and city to keep their traditional rancho lifestyle alive. And Long Beach City College film student John Salcedo has captured the homeowners’ struggle in his latest short film, The Last Long Beach Ranch.
Salcedo became aware of the story last fall, after LBCC Geography professor Dr. Ray Sumner stumbled upon the ranches while scouting the Los Angeles River for an area her class could visit and study. She spoke with some of the ranchers, who welcomed her and students.
“I saw this as living history, living cultural landscape,” Sumner said. “When I heard how threatened this little community was, I thought it would be nice to be documented.”
Sumner contacted the LBCC Film Department, and Salcedo quickly volunteered to make the film.
As depicted in the film, a group of homeowners in Long Beach’s Wrigley area situated along the L.A. River own horse stables and corrals on their property. For decades they have been using the county-owned horse trails alongside their property. In recent years, the city and county have made plans to enhance the open space, which will push out the trails and eventually the residents.
“This film … is critical to bringing credible attention to our long unheard voice,” said Renee Lawler, Vice President of the Equestrian Association of Wrigley Heights and a member of the Historic Equestrian Trail Association of Southern California (HETSC), who appears in the film.
Salcedo, who has made a number of films for nonprofit groups under his moniker L.A. City Films, plans to enter the short in the Long Beach Indie International Film, Media and Music Festival. Sumner said she plans to show the film at several upcoming geography conferences.
This isn't the first time one of Salcedo's films garnered attention. Last year, his documentary video series, “Hyperbaric Miracles: Episode 1 & 2,” was nominated for a 2016 PRISM Award. The PRISM Awards recognize media productions that entertain while presenting realistic portrayals of substance abuse disorders, mental health issues and their treatments.
Salcedo said his films are “about informing, educating and engaging people on causes that are not being heard,” Salcedo said. “It’s very gratifying.”
Salcedo, who is graduating in June, is currently working on a feature-length documentary for the LBCC Theater Department entitled Vikings of Theater.
