Today we sometimes wonder why intellectuals have lost their authority and cultural weight. I believe it is because they have become employees of culture, functionaries who work to keep the institutional and productive machine running (perhaps in vain). They do not elaborate their ideas and images of the world by personally risking clashing with the society in which they live. Or at least this happens less and less frequently. Also because most intellectuals today (but the very term intellectuals should be re-discussed) do not experience culture as a truly demanding dimension. In Italy, intellectuals are often socially arrogant, but on the intellectual and cultural level in the true sense they are timid, cowardly: they do not dare to formulate something unless they know that it has already been successful elsewhere. There is little courage, and almost no relationship between intellectual research and real behavior. Have we ever seen an intellectual who changes his life because he has understood something new? Thus, there is not only an “end of utopias”, but there is a real pacification in the relationship between Culture and Society, and a consequent diminished authority of intellectuals, because ninety percent of their elaboration is simply a response to the demands of institutions and the market. According to some interpretations, postmodernism is precisely this: the end of the conflict between arts and society.

Shaun of the Dead: Humor and Horror
Tumblr media
Cleverly blending humor with horror, Shaun of the Dead offers a unique twist on the zombie genre with 29-year-old Shaun stumbling zombie-like through his regular life, not paying attention to the zombie crisis in the background, but shaping up when society falls apart. The film highlights that the real horror lies not in the zombies, but in the lack of purpose and human connection. The film's blend of humor and horror entertains but also makes us think about how we navigate our existence, urging viewers to seek meaning and connection in a seemingly mundane world.

In the book "Zombie Culture," it is noted that while Shaun of the Dead features its share of gore, the humor is primarily character-driven, focusing on verbal and situational comedy (48). Director Edgar Wright explains that the zombies merely set the stage for the protagonists' circumstances: "You could go to the script and replace the word ‘zombies’ with ‘traffic jam’ or ‘power outage’ and it would still make sense (48)." The film's zombies serve as a metaphor for the slacker generation, symbolizing the monotonous and aimless way people navigate their lives. This is demonstrated at the beginning of the film as Shaun goes through his morning routine, tripping on the same curb, visiting the same convenience store, riding the same busy bus, and giving money to the same homeless person, all while passing by zombies which he fails to notice even though some of them are his neighbors!

The morning routine scene begins with close-ups of Shaun's face as he wakes up and goes through his morning ritual. These close-ups focus on his tired eyes, and blank expressions, highlighting his lack of engagement with his surroundings. Also, the use of diegetic sounds, such as the buzzing of an alarm clock, the hum of appliances, or the murmurs of commuters on a bus, enhances the atmosphere of monotony in Shaun's routine. They blend with the visuals so viewers can almost feel the monotony and routine along with Shaun. The zombies serve as a metaphor for the unfeeling and detached nature of modern society. The scene sets up the film's central theme by juxtaposing the living with the undead, both going through the motions without real purpose.
Tumblr media
Towards the end of the film, a scene unfolds in Shaun and his friends' favorite pub, which takes on a new significance as they battle the zombies. Here, frantic camera movements are used as the scene unfolds, characterized by quick pans and rapid zooms which convey the urgency and chaos of the situation as Shaun and his friends confront the zombies. The lighting in the pub shifts dramatically as the confrontation escalates. Finally, diegetic sounds, such as the growls and moans of the zombies intensify the scene and contrast sharply with the non-diegetic soundtrack playing over the scene. Together, these cinematic techniques heighten the tension of the scene. This transforms the familiar setting of the pub, once symbolic of their stagnant and unfulfilling lives, into a battleground for survival and meaning. Through the intense action, the film symbolizes Shaun's evolution from an aimless slacker to a determined leader, as he and his friends find purpose amidst chaos, reclaiming their lives in the face of impending doom.
Tumblr media
Shaun transforms into a leader
Now let's look at several reviews from when the film was released in 2004.
According to James Berardinelli, Shaun of the Dead "may not be consistently scary (in fact, it's almost never scary), but it is consistently funny (if you have a slightly warped sense of humor) and never loses its audience." He further states, "I won't pretend that Shaun of the Dead is the be-all and end-all of horror comedies. It has plenty of problems, not the least of which is that the horror elements are largely unconvincing (although there is plenty of gore). Shaun of the Dead is a movie that one might not expect to work at first glance, but for those who don't mind a little laughter with their zombies (or perhaps it should be the other way around), this is an unusual source of entertainment” (Berardinelli).
Another review by pluggedin.com was not as positive and states, "Shaun of the Dead is a funny, disgusting movie that hides its sensitive beating heart under gallons of zombie makeup. Although a comedy, the film is no spoof, presenting its flesh-eating undead in horrific detail.“ The reviewer also cautions about the excessive blood in the movie. 
If you haven't seen Shaun of the Dead, I highly recommend it!

Will Grave of the Fireflies make you cry?
There is no sexual content in this movie, no graphic violence or not even bloodshed and gore elements. If you are looking for the things mentioned above, you are probably not an adult; at least not in the department of having a mature taste in feature-length films. This is one of those movies that only the mature can swallow.
Ranked #61 in Berardinelli’s Top 100, this animated title is worth all the hype that has been built around it over the years. I can confidently proclaim this as the best animation film I have ever watched; not even Miyazaki‘s masterpiece  Spirited Away and Shinkai‘s epic  Your Name come close!

James Berardinelli wrote of Mr Brooks (2003) in Reel Views "A curious mix of the campy and the intelligent, of high concept and low psychology. In spite of these contradictions, or perhaps because of them, it works. This is a tense and engaging thriller."

Il 14 febbraio all'Auditorium della Conciliazione a Roma, il maestro Marco Sensi ha regalato un indimenticabile concerto di San Valentino, intitolato "Le Mille Sfumature dell'Amore". L'evento è stato dedicato all'associazione CE. R. S. per il progetto 'Adotta un angelo', ideato dal Dottor Renato Berardinelli. L'iniziativa assiste concretamente i bambini affetti da malattie croniche, offrendo supporto alle famiglie nelle complesse sfide quotidiane legate alla gestione delle malattie dei loro figli. La serata, condotta con maestria da Veronica Maya e Christian Marazziti, ha visto la partecipazione di ospiti illustri come Paolo Bonolis, Federico Moccia, I Gemelli di Guidonia e Maurizio Mattioli. Un momento commovente è stato il ricordo di Fabrizio Frizzi, narrato con emozione da Federico Moccia. Il maestro Marco Sensi, affezionato al pianoforte sin dall'infanzia, ha coniugato lo studio dei classici con la libera creatività, plasmando melodie che nascono dal cuore e si nutrono di emozioni e immaginazione. Brani come 'Nel vento', 'Luce', 'Per Vania', 'Soleada', 'Infinito Amore', e altri, hanno trasportato il pubblico in un viaggio sonoro attraverso le diverse sfaccettature dell'esistenza. L'esibizione è stata resa ancora più magica grazie alla partecipazione di trentanove musicisti dell'orchestra "L'ensemble strumentale di Roma", diretta dal maestro Daniele Marcelli, con il soprano Arianna Morelli e i cori "Entropie armoniche e Voxel", guidati da Claudia Gili e Filippo Stefanelli. L'organizzazione dell'evento, a cura di Balthazar Management srl di Andrea Quattrini e Andrea Pistilli, ha potuto contare sulla preziosa collaborazione della Regione Lazio e di Disco Lazio.

A Blast from the Past of My Childhood - Julia Merolle (Resubmit)
     The most impactful film I watched as a child was Shrek 2. This movie came out a year after I was born but because my parents had the DVD for it, I would watch it on repeat constantly. It was my favorite movie and probably still is one of my favorite movies of all time. In my opinion, it was better than the first Shrek and was a perfect sequel. It also inspired me to go into film, especially because of Far Far Away replicating Hollywood. I knew that I wanted to go into film and movie making in order to make something like this one day. From the soundtrack, to the characters, I can positively say that it is in my top 10 favorite movies.
     When rewatching the film this week, it’s different from what I remembered because I noticed that there are a lot of adult jokes that I missed as a kid. From the big bad wolf, to the catnip drug mention, to the scene with Pinocchio’s underwear where he can’t stop lying, is definitely a lot of things that flew over my head as a kid. In addition to these crude jokes, there is also a lot of pop culture references that I didn’t get when I was a kid besides Far Far Away being Hollywood. I noticed that in the scene where Shrek becomes human and goes to downtown Far Far Away, there are a lot of brand names that are actual brands in real life, yet they are changed to be a parody in a medieval type of version.
     This shows me that individual memories aren’t as reliable about preserving information, especially with so many years in between. Documentary reconstructions, kind of like the movie reviews that were written during the time that the movie came out, are more accurate than my memory when I was a child. For example, Roger Ebert wrote about Shrek 2, saying, "Shrek was so original in its animation and such an outpouring of creative imagination that it blindsided us; Shrek 2 is wonderful in its own way, but more earthbound. It's more fun to see Shrek slay a dragon than to watch him meeting his new in-laws.” (Roger Ebert) This quote from the review relates to the first movie instead of the sequel, which does have a bit more adventure and action in it, however there is a really big scene at the end of Shrek 2 involving Mongo, a giant-scale version and brother of Gingy, the gingerbread man. Another review by James Berardinelli of “Reel Views” states that “Shrek 2 is populated with clever and amusing sequences, parodies, and pop references.” This is something that I stated earlier when rewatching the film as an adult and how I missed these references as a child, since a lot of them were in the background. Lastly, around the time that Shrek 2 came out, which was in May of 2004, I remember my parents talking about a tornado in Nebraska at the same time. A quote from On This Day states, “The U.S. town of Hallam, Nebraska, is wiped out by a powerful F4 tornado that broke a width record at an astounding 2.5 miles wide.” This is a historical event that was personal to me because at the time I remember my parents being worried since we had a family member out in Nebraska traveling for work who was luckily okay. Another event that I do not remember happening as I was really young, was that according to On This Day in May of 2004, “Massachusetts becomes the first U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage.” This event isn’t really personal to me because I don’t remember this happening, but it was a major turning point for the country.
     In conclusion, it might be important to do historical work like this, both as individuals and collectively so that we don’t misinterpret things that happened a long time ago because the human memory isn’t so reliable. It is better to use documents from that time, like the movie reviews that came out at the time of Shrek 2, rather than my memory of watching the movie when I was a child. This also relates to historical events, which again happened around the same time but the reason I only know of one is because it related to me on a family level.

Leggermente
L’atto della lettura è a rischio. Leggere, voler leggere e saper leggere, sono sempre meno comportamenti garantiti. Leggere libri non è naturale e necessario come camminare, mangiare, parlare o esercitare i cinque sensi. Non è un’attività primaria, né fisiologicamente né socialmente. Viene dopo, implica una razionale e volontaria cura di sé. Leggere letteratura, filosofia e scienza, se non lo si fa per professione, è un lusso, una passione virtuosa o leggermente perversa, un vizio che la società non censura. È sia un piacere che un proposito di automiglioramento. Richiede un certo grado e capacità di introversione concentrata.
A. Berardinelli, Leggere è un rischio [2012], Milano, Nottetempo

Michael Sragow wrote of The Sea Inside (2004) in the Baltimore Sun "The Sea Inside brings us outside and inside ourselves, and takes us to brave new aesthetic depths. "
James Berardinelli wrote in ReelViews "The Sea Inside is uplifting. This is a movie that may cause viewers to both laugh and cry."
