Rutger Hauer in A Breed Apart [1984]

[filmnoirfoundation]

NOIR CITY 19 wraps up today at Oakland's Grand Lake Theatre with ON DANGEROUS GROUND (1:00), THE PROWLER (3:00), ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW (7:00) and FORCE OF EVIL (9:00). All films introduced by Eddie Muller.

Sunday Matinée • March 27

ON DANGEROUS GROUND1:00 PM

Big-city cop Jim Wilson (Robert Ryan), embittered by his job, has become a ticking time bomb. Aware that Wilson's unhinged brutality is a lawsuit waiting to happen, his boss sends him to a snowy upstate town to cool off. There, Wilson meets Mary Malden (Ida Lupino), a sage blind woman who sees through his cynicism and vitriol. But before she can melt his defenses, a young girl is found murdered, and Wilson throws himself into the vengeful manhunt for the killer. Ryan and Lupino give powerhouse performances in this unusually structured film, ingeniously and aggressively directed by Nicholas Ray. Half of it takes place in the nocturnal city, the other half in blinding white snowscapes; notions of natural and human duality abound. Featuring brilliant cinematography by George Diskant and one of Bernard Herrmann's most distinctive scores, which plays up the film's themes through an astounding juxtaposition of propulsive brass and wistful strings.

1952, RKO [Warner Bros.] 82 minutes. Screenplay by A. I. Bezzerides, based on the novel Made with Much Heart by Gerald Butler. Produced by John Houseman. Directed by Nicholas Ray.

THE PROWLER 3:00 PM

Patrolman Webb Garwood is more interested in achieving the American Dream than he is protecting it for others. After answering a woman's distress call about a peeping tom, Garwood hatches a nefarious plot to worm his way into her affluent but lonely life — and into her husband's life insurance policy. Van Heflin and Evelyn Keyes give stellar performances in this disturbing spider-and-fly romance, written covertly by legendary blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo and directed by the soon-to-be-blacklisted Joseph Losey. Largely dismissed by critics upon its release, it's now regarded as Losey's best American film, one that offers a compelling warning about small-minded people's willingness to abuse power for selfish gain. Restored in 2007 by the Film Noir Foundation and UCLA Film & Television Archive, the first triumph in a long-running partnership.

1951, Horizon Pictures/United Artists [FNF/UCLA Film & Television Archive]. 92 minutes. Screenplay by Dalton Trumbo (fronted by Hugo Butler) . Based on a story by Robert Thoeren and Hans Wilhelm. Produced by John Huston and Sam Spiegel (as S.P. Eagle). Directed by Joseph Losey.Sunday Evening •

ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW 7:00 PM

Disgraced ex-cop Dave Burke (Ed Begley) masterminds a piece-of-cake bank robbery in upstate New York, but to pull it off he requires the cooperation of two dangerously mismatched cohorts: hot-headed redneck war veteran Earle Slater (Robert Ryan) and gambling addict jazzman Johnny Ingram (Harry Belafonte); their racist antagonism threatens to thwart a seemingly fool-proof plan. Silent producer Belafonte hired blacklisted screenwriter Abraham Polonsky to adapt William P. McGivern's novel, specifically to subvert the sanctimony of The Defiant Ones (1958), a "feel good" movie about racism. Robert Wise's direction is as fresh and expressive as anything being done by the French New Wave of the period, and the score by John Lewis's Modern Jazz Quartet is innovative and exhilarating. With vivid supporting performances by Shelley Winters, Kim Hamilton, and Gloria Grahame. An all-time classic heist thriller—and much more.

1959, United Artists [Park Circus]. 96 minutes. Screenplay by Abraham Polonsky, with Nelson Gidding (fronted by John O. Killens). Based on the novel by William P. McGivern. Produced by Harry Belafonte (uncredited) and Robert Wise. Directed by Robert Wise.

FORCE OF EVIL 9:00 PM

One of the most distinctive works of the noir era, Abraham Polonsky's directorial debut is an exposé of the New York numbers racket and a riveting tale of a fallen man's attempt to reclaim his soul (John Garfield, in one of his best roles). Unfortunately for Polonsky, the House Committee on Un-American Activities also felt the film was a thinly veiled attack on the nation's capitalist system, suggesting parallels between the operations of businessmen and gangsters. Polonsky was blacklisted, unable to put his name on any work he produced over the next twenty years. Force of Evil is innovative and superlative in every respect; its stylized art direction complementing vivid New York location footage. With an evocative score by David Raksin and memorable performances by Thomas Gomez, Beatrice Pearson, Marie Windsor, and Roy Roberts.

1948, MGM [Park Circus]. 78 minutes. Screenplay by Abraham Polonsky and Ira Wolfert, from Wolfert's novel Tucker's People. Produced by Bob Roberts. Directed by Abraham Polonsky.

Overlooked Bernard Herrmann Scores By Jessica Pickens

His name is synonymous with staccato violin notes that remind audiences of knife stabbing and have made many reluctant to take a shower. Composer Bernard Herrmann is the master behind iconic scores for films like THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER (’41) and PSYCHO (’60). The Academy Award-winning composer scored the two films that are often argued to be the best of all-time: CITIZEN KANE (’41) and VERTIGO (’58). His work continues to be reused in pop culture, from his whistling TWISTED NERVE (’68) theme used in Quentin Tarantino’s KILL BILL: VOLUME 1 (2003) to Lady Gaga using part of VERTIGO’s prelude in her “Born This Way” music video.

Known best for his collaborations with directors Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles, other works of Herrmann’s often go overlooked. Below are a few of his scores that are less often discussed.

JANE EYRE (’43)

In this adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s novel, Jane Eyre (Joan Fontaine), who is hired by the wealthy Edward Rochester (Orson Welles), works as the governess for Rochester’s daughter which leads to her discovering secrets in the house. “On a project like ‘Jane Eyre,’ I didn’t need to see the film beforehand. One just remembers the book,” Herrmann said in a 1975 interview, discussing this film’s score.

JANE EYRE was Herrmann’s first project with 20th Century-Fox, which started a 19-year partnership with the studio and a long friendship with composer and Fox music director Alfred Newman. Fox studio head Darryl F. Zanuck initially sought composer Igor Stravinsky to score the film, but negotiations fell through. Producer David O. Selznick and Welles were the driving force behind hiring Herrmann for the project, according to Herrmann’s biographer Steven Smith.

Herrmann’s score has a dark, gothic feel that matches the theme of the novel. New York Herald Tribune composer critic Paul Bowles described the score as “gothic extravagance and poetic morbidities. It contains some of the most carefully wrought effects to be found in recent film scores,” Bowles wrote. According to Smith, Herrmann called it his first “screen opera.” The score foreshadowed work on another Brontë project — his “Wuthering Heights” opera that didn’t see a full theatrical performance until 2011.

ON DANGEROUS GROUND (‘51)

Directed by Nicholas Ray, an adaptation of Gerald Butler’s book Mad with Much Heart. The film follows a rough city police officer, Jim Wilson (Robert Ryan). After Jim is too violent with a suspect, he is sent to a rural area as punishment. His job is to help with a manhunt for the murderer of a child. A blind woman, Mary Malden (Ida Lupino) is the sister of the murderer, and she tries to convince Jim to protect her brother.

ON DANGEROUS GROUND is one of Herrmann’s few film noir scores. Film noir expert and host of TCM’s Noir Alley Eddie Muller said, "Herrmann's score is one of the most distinctive crime scores of the era." In a June 2019 introduction of the film, Muller noted “Herrmann’s score is unlike any other music written for film noir. A dramatic clash of brass, strings and percussion that goes a long way to unify the film’s unusual — almost schizophrenia — structure.”

Herrmann admired Ray’s storytelling and engineered a creative score that illustrated good and evil. For Lupino’s character, Herrmann used the viola soloist Virginia Majewski, who Herrmann advocated to have on-screen credit. Herrmann also had the rare freedom to compose, orchestra and conduct the entire score. The most notable cue is “The Death Hunt,” that has a driving, frantic tempo and can be compared to his later NORTH BY NORTHWEST (’59) score. Muller noted that to make sure “The Death Hunt” cue was effective, Herrmann fought to have the sound mix corrected during the scene so that the barking dogs wouldn’t drown out his score.

THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO (1952)

Based on an Ernest Hemingway short story, Gregory Peck plays Harry, a novelist who uses his earnings to travel. While on safari in Africa, Harry suffers an injury that results in a deadly infection. As he lies dying, he thinks back on his life and past romances, and his safari companion Helen, played by Susan Hayward, nurses Harry through his illness.

While some of Herrmann’s most famous scores drive thrillers and adventures, scores like THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO show he can create beautiful, gentle and charming tunes. His cues are dreamy and wistful, matching the mental state of the ill Harry, whose mind travels to the past while on his death bed. Herrmann’s cue entitled, “The Memory Waltz,” is particularly dreamy. Herrmann said he tried to create music of “a highly nostalgic nature” as a man dies and deals with his “emotional past.”

On the film’s release, New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther praised Herrmann’s score. “For it is Mr. Herrmann’s music, singing sadly and hauntingly, that helps one sense the pathos of dead romances and a wasted career. A saxophone and a piano in a Paris studio, an accordion on an old Left Bank bar and an arrogant guitarist in a Spanish café—these are also actors in the film. Perhaps they come closer to stating what Hemingway had to say.”

MARNIE (1964)

Marnie (Tippi Hedren) is a thief who suffers from psychological trauma of her past, which comes to a head after she marries a widower (Sean Connery) from a wealthy Philadelphia family who does not readily accept her. MARNIE was the end of an era. It marked the last of seven films that Herrmann collaborated on with director Alfred Hitchcock on, beginning with THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY (’55).

Much had changed for both Herrmann and Hitchcock by 1964, including how they were both viewed by Hollywood executives. Herrmann and Hitchcock were being pressured to be more “hip” for 1960s audiences. The studio even urged Hitchcock not to hire “old-fashioned” Herrmann. But if Hitchcock did hire Herrmann, they encouraged him to also have a title pop song, according to Smith. The film was a box-office failure — Hitchcock’s first failure in many years. Today, the film is now appreciated by audiences, but Herrmann’s score still is often overlooked when compared to other Hitchcock titles.

The main title of MARNIE features blaring horns, which sound haphazard against more melodic violins — illustrating the mix of trauma and beauty. A notable cue is “The Foxhunt,” which begins with a jaunty, almost cheerful, tune filled with horns and violins. But the cue turns more haphazard and frantic as it continues. While this was Herrmann’s last completed score for Hitchcock, Herrmann started work on TORN CURTAIN (’66) but was replaced due to artistic differences.

IT’S ALIVE (’74)

The Davies family (Sharon Farrell and John P. Ryan) are expecting their second child. But when their baby is born, he is a monster who kills anyone in his path. The 1970s marked a new era for Bernard Herrmann. He began working with younger filmmakers who appreciated his work of the past. These included Martin Scorsese and Brian De Palma. One of these collaborations spawned a friendship with director of IT’S ALIVE, Larry Cohen, who cited Herrmann as a major influence in his career up until his death in 2019.

Herrmann enjoyed the experience with his film because he enjoyed working with Cohen. To add to the eerie, creepy vibe of the film, Herrmann incorporated a Moog synthesizer into the score. He also uses a viola for a mournful note, according to Smith. Herrmann also had fun naming his cues, such as “The Milkman Goeth” when the baby kills the milkman.

Herrmann was set to work with Cohen again for the film GOD TOLD ME TO (’76), but Herrmann died in 1975 before he could begin.

The astute, Booker T. Washington

Early Life

Born to a slave on April 5, 1856, Booker's life had little promise early on. In Franklin County, Virginia, as in most states prior to the Civil War, the child of a slave became a slave. Booker's mother, Jane, worked as a cook for plantation owner James Burroughs. His father was an unknown white man, most likely from a nearby plantation. Booker and his mother lived in a one-room log cabin with a large fireplace, which also served as the plantation’s kitchen.

At an early age, Booker went to work carrying sacks of grain to the plantation’s mill. Toting 100-pound sacks was hard work for a small boy, and he was beaten on occasion for not performing his duties satisfactorily. Booker's first exposure to education was from the outside of a schoolhouse near the plantation; looking inside, he saw children his age sitting at desks and reading books. He wanted to do what those children were doing, but he was a slave, and it was illegal to teach slaves to read and write.

After the Civil War, Booker and his mother moved to Malden, West Virginia, where she married freedman Washington Ferguson. The family was very poor, and nine-year-old Booker went to work in the nearby salt furnaces with his stepfather instead of going to school. Booker's mother noticed his interest in learning and got him a book from which he learned the alphabet and how to read and write basic words. Because he was still working, he got up nearly every morning at 4 a.m. to practice and study. At about this time, Booker took the first name of his stepfather as his last name, Washington.

In 1866, Booker T. Washington got a job as a houseboy for Viola Ruffner, the wife of coal mine owner Lewis Ruffner. Mrs. Ruffner was known for being very strict with her servants, especially boys. But she saw something in Washington — his maturity, intelligence and integrity — and soon warmed up to him. Over the two years he worked for her, she understood his desire for an education and allowed him to go to school for an hour a day during the winter months.

Education

In 1872, Washington left home and walked 500 miles to Hampton Normal Agricultural Institute in Virginia. Along the way, he took odd jobs to support himself. He convinced administrators to let him attend the school and took a job as a janitor to help pay his tuition. The school's founder and headmaster, General Samuel C. Armstrong, soon discovered the hardworking Washington and offered him a scholarship, sponsored by a white man. Armstrong had been a commander of a Union African American regiment during the Civil War and was a strong supporter of providing newly freed slaves with a practical education. Armstrong became Washington's mentor, strengthening his values of hard work and strong moral character.

Washington graduated from Hampton in 1875 with high marks. For a time, he taught at his old grade school in Malden, Virginia, and attended Wayland Seminary in Washington, D.C. In 1879, he was chosen to speak at Hampton's graduation ceremonies, where afterward General Armstrong offered Washington a job teaching at Hampton. In 1881, the Alabama legislature approved $2,000 for a "colored" school, the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now known as Tuskegee University). General Armstrong was asked to recommend a white man to run the school but instead recommended Washington. Classes were first held in an old church, while Washington traveled all over the countryside promoting the school and raising money. He reassured white people that nothing in the Tuskegee program would threaten white supremacy or pose any economic competition to white people.

Tuskegee Institute

Under Washington's leadership, Tuskegee became a leading school in the country. At his death, it had more than 100 well-equipped buildings, 1,500 students, a 200-member faculty teaching 38 trades and professions, and a nearly $2 million endowment. Washington put much of himself into the school's curriculum, stressing the virtues of patience, enterprise, and thrift. He taught that economic success for African Americans would take time, and that subordination to white people was a necessary evil until African Americans could prove they were worthy of full economic and political rights. He believed that if African Americans worked hard and obtained financial independence and cultural advancement, they would eventually win acceptance and respect from the white community.

Booker T. Washington's Beliefs and the 'Atlanta Compromise'

In 1895, Washington publicly put forth his philosophy on race relations in a speech at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, known as the "Atlanta Compromise." In his speech, Washington stated that African Americans should accept disenfranchisement and social segregation as long as white people allow them economic progress, educational opportunity and justice in the courts.

Booker T. Washington vs W.E.B. Du Bois

This started a firestorm in parts of the African American community, especially in the North. Activists like W.E.B. Du Bois (who was working as a professor at Atlanta University at the time) deplored Washington's conciliatory philosophy and his belief that African Americans were only suited to vocational training. Du Bois criticized Washington for not demanding equality for African Americans, as granted by the 14th Amendment, and subsequently became an advocate for full and equal rights in every realm of a person's life.

Though Washington had done much to help advance many African Americans, there was some truth in the criticism. During Washington's rise as a national spokesperson for African Americans, they were systematically excluded from the vote and political participation through Black codes and Jim Crow laws as rigid patterns of segregation and discrimination became institutionalized throughout the South and much of the country.

White House Dinner With Theodore Roosevelt

In 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt invited Washington to the White House, making him the first African American to be so honored. But the fact that Roosevelt asked Washington to dine with him (inferring the two were equal) was unprecedented and controversial, causing an ferocious uproar among white people.

Both President Roosevelt and his successor, President William Howard Taft, used Washington as an adviser on racial matters, partly because he accepted racial subservience. His White House visit and the publication of his autobiography, Up from Slavery, brought him both acclaim and indignation from many Americans. While some African Americans looked upon Washington as a hero, others, like Du Bois, saw him as a traitor. Many Southern white people, including some prominent members of Congress, saw Washington's success as an affront and called for action to put African Americans "in their place."

Books

With the aid of ghostwriters, Washington wrote a total of five books: The Story of My Life and Work (1900), Up from Slavery (1901), The Story of the Negro: The Rise of the Race from Slavery (1909), My Larger Education (1911), and The Man Farthest Down (1912).

Death and Legacy

Washington was a complex individual, who lived during a precarious time in advancing racial equality. On one hand, he was openly supportive of African Americans taking a "back seat" to white people, while on the other he secretly financed several court cases challenging segregation. By 1913, Washington had lost much of his influence. The newly inaugurated Wilson administration was cool to the idea of racial integration and African American equality.

Washington remained the head of Tuskegee Institute until his death on November 14, 1915, at the age of 59, of congestive heart failure.” (source)

Population surge details to “significant” district modifications

Right after months of pandemic-induced delays, the U.S. Census Bureau on Aug. 12 unveiled the community-stage population and demographic data from the 2020 count of the nation’s population, triggering a dash to redraw the boundaries of the state’s legislative and Congressional districts more than the coming months.

The 2020 Census counted 7,029,917 persons residing in Massachusetts, a 482,288-person or 7.4 p.c boost more than the last ten years that outpaced the 4.1 % regular in the Northeast and equaled the development fee of the country as a complete. The state’s progress has been uneven, possible requiring the western Massachusetts districts represented by U.S. Rep Richard Neal and U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern’s western/central district to be expanded in size to fulfill the 781,497-constituent target set by Census officers, whilst the footprint of japanese districts close to Boston could need to shrink or shift west.

Armed with the thorough neighborhood data showing populace gains in all 10 of the largest Bay Condition towns — Boston (+58,053), Worcester (+25,473), Springfield (+2,869), Lowell (+9,035), Cambridge (+13,241), New Bedford (+6,007), Brockton (+11,833), Quincy (+9,365), Lynn (+10,924) and Fall River (+5,143) — and decreases in Holyoke (-1,642), Pittsfield (-810), North Adams (-747) and Westfield (-260), the Legislature can really start off the process of reshaping voting districts to account for shifting populace facilities with a few occasionally-conflicting priorities in head, like maximizing minority illustration and defending incumbents.

Outdoors the 10 most populous metropolitan areas, Lawrence noticed the biggest population advancement (+12,766) followed by Revere (+10,431), Everett (+7,408), Haverhill (+6,908) and Malden (+6,813). Secretary of State Invoice Galvin reported Thursday afternoon that Massachusetts now has nine cities with more than 100,000 people and Worcester, the state’s second-largest metropolis, has surpassed 200,000 inhabitants for the initial time.

“We’ve had significant adjustments inside our state. We have viewed cities grow dramatically … Lots of of the suburban communities increase as nicely,» Galvin, the state›s liaison to the Census, explained. He additional, «Particularly gratifying was looking at some of the communities that we have been most concerned about, exactly where we understood there were being substantial populations of non-indigenous born individuals, staying absolutely counted. So, for occasion, the town of Lawrence is now at 89,000, a dramatic gain. The city of Revere experienced the finest share get. The metropolis of Chelsea, just one of the considerations we continuously expressed, is now at 40,000 people today. The metropolis of New Bedford is at 102,000 persons. These are all communities that, even to the final times of the Census, we have been regularly having difficulties to make certain men and women have been counted in these communities.»

The only two counties in Massachusetts to shed citizens above the previous ten years have been Berkshire (-2,193) and Franklin (-343). Just about every other county observed inhabitants advancement, led by the gains of 128,917 persons in Middlesex County, 75,913 people today in Suffolk County and 66,670 people today in Essex County. By progress proportion, Nantucket County led the way with a 40.1 % attain (an enhance of 4,083 people).

That is at odds with the national trend, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Thursday. Across the region, much less than half (47 per cent) of the nation’s 3,143 counties gained population more than the past ten years.

Galvin claimed the new quantities from the Census signify that Congressional districts will contain 781,000 men and women, point out Senate districts will involve more than 175,000 men and women and point out House of Agent districts will contain virtually 44,000 individuals.

“So, all of these districts are heading to have to adjust. And there’s heading to have to be some substantial adjustment produced,” Galvin reported. “Just to acquire Boston because it is the largest city as an illustration, Boston appears to have acquired — did attain — 58,000 people. That implies it in all probability would gain an further, likely an more, seat in the House of Reps.”

The Distinctive Joint Committee on Redistricting, led by Assistant House The greater part Michael Moran and Senate President Pro Tempore William Brownsberger, has by now held more than 18 hearings on the redistricting method and is expected to keep additional general public hearings when its proposed district maps are offered.

Moran instructed the Information Service that the committee’s third-get together seller is performing now to set the latest Census information into a structure that meets the committee’s parameters. Once it is, lawmakers will start off diving into the numbers and digesting it with the testimony from redistricting hearings. But he is also aware of the Census Bureau’s system for yet another knowledge release — the Census suggests it will be the exact information but introduced in unique formats— by Sept. 30. Moran mentioned the committee has to use formal Census knowledge and “given the Census’ believability in the previous yr and a half,” he is not contemplating the facts produced Thursday to be the formal figures.

“My career is not to be first on this things, my job is to be right,” Moran, who led the final round of redistricting for the House, stated. He added, “As significantly as I’m involved and the House is anxious — and I feel you are going to see Senator Brownsberger is in a equivalent situation — our work is to get it proper. And we’re going to look at these figures when they are in a secure house for us to glance at them.”

There could be other proposed maps in the blend as well. Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr and Republican Sen. Ryan Fattman strategy to oversee the redistricting course of action for the Senate minority caucus and are leaving their options open as they scrutinize the fresh details, a Tarr spokesman said. For the House Republicans, Rep. Paul Frost will serve as the redistricting level man or woman.

“Whether the caucus produces its have proposal will be dictated in huge element by what the preliminary maps appear like, but we unquestionably system to offer our enter throughout this significant undertaking and will be operating to ensure that the complete system continues to be open up and clear,” House Minority Leader Brad Jones claimed.

Soon right after the facts was designed available, advocates with the Drawing Democracy Coalition claimed they strategy to use it to make the organization’s very own “unity map” that would preserve communities together and be certain equitable illustration for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian-American communities, folks of shade, immigrants, and minimal-cash flow communities. The team reported it designs to eventually submit its map to the Special Joint Committee on Redistricting.

“Redistricting is a as soon as-in-a-10 years option to greater assure authentic illustration and open up new prospects for creating energy for BIPOC, immigrant and minimal-income communities,” the coalition said in a statement. “Especially as efforts are underway throughout the state to prohibit obtain to voting, it is additional crucial than at any time to make sure that voters can elect associates of their alternative. Although today’s launch of the redistricting information is a number of months delayed, the Drawing Democracy Coalition is assured that, along with the Specific Joint Committee on Redistricting, we have a strong program in place to make certain that the approach continues to be honest and clear and that the new district maps are authorized by the November 8, 2021 deadline.”

Condition associates setting up to search for reelection in 2022 must reside in just their district boundaries for at the very least 1 12 months in advance of time, building Nov. 8, 2021 a gentle deadline for the new maps that would give candidates a likelihood to be certain they can be suitable for next year’s election.

Drawing Democracy reported it has by now received and shared with the Special Redistricting Committee 99 “community of interest” map submissions “providing worthwhile insight from local inhabitants into what places of their communities are most essential to keep alongside one another.”

At the time the group’s unity map is drafted, it will go via “extensive legal review” to make confident that it is in compliance with the Voting Rights Act, the Equivalent Security Clause of the 14th Amendment, the Massachusetts Constitution and point out legislation. Drawing Democracy ideas to solicit input from its coalition users at five digital listening classes, make any needed tweaks and then present it to the legislative committee for thing to consider.

“During redistricting in 2011, the final maps permitted by the legislature closely resembled the unity map offered by Drawing Democracy,” the group pointed out Thursday in its announcement.

Thursday’s data release from the U.S. Census Bureau follows its April release of congressional apportionment info, which supplied total state headcounts to be employed to figure out each state’s number of U.S. House of Reps seats and in funding formulas. Massachusetts additional 482,288 people today considering that the final Census in 2010, making sure that its delegation to the U.S. House will stay the identical dimension alternatively than shrinking by a single as occurred soon after the 2010 count.

But that April information was not enough to attract maps of voting districts in just states due to the fact it did not get into the granular specifics like the place in a condition persons dwell, or their age, race and ethnicity.

The redistricting info produced Thursday gets down to the person Census block, counts only citizens (the apportionment info also incorporates “federally-affiliated” people dwelling overseas), and incorporates race, ethnicity and some housing details. It became readily available Thursday in what the Census identified as a “legacy format” that states, redistricting program distributors and teams like the National Convention of Condition Legislatures are acquainted with.

The Census ideas to release the identical data in manners far more obtainable to the general public by the stop of September, together with by way of the info census.gov platform.

Governors, state legislative leaders and any redistricting commissions about the country will get DVDs and flash drives with an built-in information searching software by the conclude of future thirty day period.

But by then, the Brennan Middle for Justice at NYU Faculty of Legislation said, “many states are anticipated to start off and perhaps even complete their map-drawing procedures.”

The two return to DeLorca's opulent mansion, where they argue about their falling out over Margaret's marriage to DeLorca, who originally courted Edith ,but had an affair with Margaret. Margaret had forced Frank to marry her by telling him she was pregnant with his child. However, Edith finds out from Margaret's chauffeur that the couple were childless, and becomes resentful, realizing how Margaret had trapped Frank into marriage. While Margaret now enjoys a life of ease and wealth, Edith is struggling financially; her business, a cocktail lounge, is losing money and she is threatened with eviction for not paying her bills.

ACTIVITY 2: Media’s Past, Present, and Future

As a member of Generation Z, it was never hard for me to figure out how technology worked. As a 2000s kid, I grew up in a time of bulky gadgets—desktop computers, televisions, gaming consoles, and cellphones—when early laptop prototypes were gaining popularity in the market. I was very fortunate to live in a home and attend an institution that had computers in which I was not only taught the most practical and educational features, but was also left on my own device to explore its more complex elements.

However, before we talk about the future of media, we need to delve into how it evolved from print, to radio, then television, and eventually smart devices. One factor that contributed to this advancement are the quick technological/scientific innovations motivated by keeping people engaged, be it through entertainment, news and information,  as well as a public forum. Another is its ability to advertise; and as long as the internet builds communities and reaches every crease and corner of the earth, big bucks will keep rolling in. The last one is accessibility; for both the consumer and the producer. Now this is where digitization or the conversion of information into a digital format comes into play. Not only will this experience allow both the givers and receivers a more personalized and interactive experience with this type of media.

Everything mentioned above has been a functionalist view of the media—the pros, but what about approaching it in a conflict view. Media has also been known to spread social and political propaganda, disseminate false information, invade privacy, as well as getting us addicted. Now that it has become this powerful force, connecting people from all over the globe to one another and providing us the ease and convenience to access quite literally anything we want to on our smartphones, smart TVs, and smartwatches. Devices just seem to be getting smarter, sleeker, and state-of-the-art; but having this much power leaves us with so much responsibility.

The Manchurian Candidate (1962)

I’ll unashamedly say right off the bat I love this movie. It’s a shame that there’s a whole heap of baggage around this film, because it’s an excellent Science Fiction thriller of a sort we don’t see anymore. Let’s get all the ridiculous rumour and here-say out of the way first, though.

According to urban legend, Frank Sinatra removed the film from distribution after the John F. Kennedy assassination on November 22, 1963. Ballocks. While it certainly seems in poor taste at that point to be screening a film dealing with the assassination of a candidate for President of the United States, John Frankenheimer, the director of the film, states in the book John Frankenheimer: A Conversation with Charles Champlin that the film was pulled because of a legal battle between the film’s producer, Mr Sinatra, and the studio over Mr Sinatra's share of the gross sales. In the end, it was re-released to great acclaim in 1988.

Michael Schlesinger — who was responsible for that 1988 reissue — also denies the rumour. According to him, the film wasn’t removed from distribution per se, there was merely a lack of public interest in it by 1963. The idea that any film a year after its release would have the same level of interest in the marketplace — even with two Academy Away nominations (one for Angela Lansbury for Best Supporting Actress, and one for Best Editing) — is not just simply ‘glass half full,’ but downright wishful thinking. The distribution rights were held by the studio for ten years, and in 1972 those rights merely reverted to the film’s production company. Mr Sinatra’s lawyers held on to those rights so that no one would profit from a revenue stream which his lawyers had badly negotiated originally, and sitting on the film prevented it film being released for VHS home rental or ownership. Thus the falsity, “it was pulled from distribution.”

Left to right: Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Khigh Dhiegh, James Edwards, Richard LePore, and Tom Lowell in The Manchurian Candidate (1962)

For fairly obvious reasons, this film has become a part of JFK/RFK Assassination Conspiracy lore: there’s a Presidential candidate being shot with a high-powered rifle, wielded by a former soldier located somewhere fairly high-up in what can be described as a public place. The book came out in 1958, and cannot possibly have been a blueprint for the assassination of President Kennedy, given he didn’t announce his candidacy until January 2nd of 1960. Even if one was to say ‘oh, but, see, that’s how they worked out how to do it: they read the book!’ beggars belief. First, in order for someone to use it as a template to kill President Kennedy, the entire Secret Service, the FBI, and the CIA had to collectively ignore — for four years — the possibility that someone might use the idea of the novel to kill the President, whose life is the single most important thing they are assigned to protect. Then, someone has to put everything into place in about two years, including bringing in people working with Project MKUltra (which, admittedly, had been sanctioned in 1953, so there is opportunity for that bit… kinda…) to provide a suitable subject to perform the act, re-target them from whatever they were originally programmed for to the President instead, then cover over everything involved with what is the most treasonous plot in the history of the country, keep everyone involved silent for over six decades; all while the files from the FBI Field Office in Media, Pennsylvania were leaked, exposing the COINTELPRO programme; then the publishing of ‘the Pentagon Papers,’ exposing the history of the United States’ political and military involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1967; then the ‘Watergate scandal’ and the associated charges of corruption and influence peddling by Vice President Agnew were navigated; then the revelation of…

C’mon…!

Another aspect of the film which caused the conspiracy nutcases to go insane was the fact that Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, the man who fired the gun at Senator Robert F. Kennedy, appears to have either unwittingly or accidentally hypnotized himself prior to the incident using a series of LPs produced by the Rosicrucians, and then became obsessed with Senator Kennedy’s “sole support of Israel and his deliberate attempt to send those 50 [fighter jet] bombers to Israel to obviously do harm to the Palestinians,” as he told David Frost in 1988. The parallel with this film’s plot becomes worse, as Mr Frankenheimer had became a close friend of Senator Kennedy during the making of The Manchurian Candidate so that, in 1968, the Senator asked Mr Frankenheimer to make some commercials for his campaign for the Democratic nomination. On the night Senator Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968, it was Mr Frankenheimer who drove him from the Los Angeles Airport to the Ambassador Hotel for the acceptance speech.

There are merely coincidences — profoundly unfortunate ones — and they wouldn’t be seen as anything more than that, save for the involvement of a Kennedy family member in public office. That same reason is why anyone gives a damn about the ‘Chappaquiddick incident,’ other than the fact that one of the ‘great and the good’ was kept from serving any time in jail for their involvement in a death of an innocent person.

I do think that something happened that day in Dallas in addition to what we have thus far been told, but what it was and whom it was done at the behest of, we will never know. It certainly wasn’t something involving this film.

Okay… now let’s get to the movie.

It starts as what seems like a standard war movie, set during the Korean War, with a group of men captured, thanks to a double-crossing Korean guide and interpreter, by Russians with helicopters bearing a simple five-pointed star (which indicates China, but could also indicate the Soviet Union…? North Korea…? Texas…?). Then the same voice which at the start of Spartacus, told us that Christianity brought about the fall of Rome, informs us here that Raymond Shaw has a Medal of Honour and has come home to glory; a glory his mother (played by Angela Lansbury) and step-father wish to bask in the reflected warmth of, thus aiding the Senate career of the opportunistic, bombastic McCarthy stand-in (played by James Gregory).

Shaw has a mid-Atlantic accent which works well with Ms Lansbury’s. He’s the kindest, warmest, bravest, most wonderful human being anyone’s ever known in their entire life.

Some of the side character’s’ performances are super wooden. “Zilkov” especially seems to have no experience beyond Christmas play in grade 4.

During a scene in New York City, the Manchurian scientist is doing origami, a Japanese art of paper-folding. So… Hollywood really doesn’t know the Orient at all.

Mr Frankenheimer had film and two more he directed released the same year: Birdman of Alcatraz (starring Burt Lancaster, Karl Malden, and Telly Savalas) and All Fall Down (starring Eva Marie Saint and Warren Beatty). I think it’s safe to say that Mr Frankenheimer didn’t sleep for much of 1962.

Speaking of that year in film, I was surprised at the competition Ms Lansbury had for Best Supporting Actress Oscar. In this film, Ms Lansbury is fantastic: energetic, focused, she’s got great timing, and is entirely believable in every scene. Every single level of her performance is perfect, as she is laser-sharp in knowing what she needs from everyone at every moment.

Originally, I was looking to see who won instead of her, and then who her votes were split with, as typically a performance this good is split with someone equally deserving, meaning someone comes out of left field to win [cf Marisa Tomei]. So, why didn’t Ms Lansbury win?

Because 1962 was an insanely fantastic year for film, no matter the category you sample.

In a year where Marilyn Monroe was found dead (August 5th) and the ‘James Bond’ franchise starts (October 5th – Dr. No); you have dramas like Lawrence of Arabia, The Longest Day, Mutiny on the Bounty, To Kill a Mockingbird, Billy Budd, Days of Wine and Roses, How the West Was Won, The Day of the Triffids, La Jetée (which was the inspiration of 12 Monkeys), Jules and Jim, Lolita, Long Day's Journey into Night, The Miracle Worker, Requiem for a Heavyweight, and Sweet Bird of Youth; the musicals Gypsy and State Fair; plus The Manchurian Candidate, Birdman of Alcatraz, and All Fall Down from Mr Frankenheimer. It very much was a transition period from one generation of film making to the next, and the best of everything was on display. I don’t think you could consider 1962 ‘another 1939’ for film, but it was pretty damned close! Needless to say the Oscar Awards the next spring were pretty full; mostly full of Lawrence of Arabia and The Miracle Worker, but many other people as well.

I’d forgotten how much violence there is in this film. Much of it is corralled in opposite ends of the film, but there really is a bunch, and it is very shocking when it arrives. It’s still effective now, too, which makes things so very exciting.

On this disc, there’s a wonderful twenty minute documentary about the sociological factors involved in the creation of the hysteria surrounding “brain washing” and mind control in general from the early-1950s onwards. It really sews together so many disparate and interconnected threads: McCarthyism, fear of both the Soviet and Chinese varieties of Communism, imminent nuclear annihilation (an all-too real threat when this film was released, literally in the middle of the ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’), the phobia of ‘too controlling mothers,’ distrust of anyone from another country, the differences between psychoanalysis and actual programming of thoughts, the focus on advertising through the pop culture book The Hidden Persuaders, and the idea that TV was a new insidious way to make ‘soft’ men instead of the ‘tough’ men the USA needed in the nuclear-powered time of the 1960s!

Anyway; all in all, it’s grand, and the times when shots are a bit out of focus, you don’t care, the story is so strong and the acting is grand, and… oh, I wish more films were like this; big, messy, multi-influenced tales of humanity. Thankfully people like Terry Gilliam and Duncan Jones are doing that sort of thing.
