The top two vote-getters will move on to the next round!

[denimbex1986]

'"Oppenheimer" is huge. It's one of Christopher Nolan's most massive movies, a sprawling epic that covers the life and times of J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb. The film spans several years of Oppenheimer's life, zeroing in on specific time periods — specifically the lead-up to the building of the bomb, and then the aftermath when Oppenheimer's career was destroyed due to his leftist leanings. As I wrote in my review, "Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' is nothing short of extraordinary. In what might be his magnum opus, Nolan has meticulously crafted a biopic that feels like a thriller. He's also managed to find a way to make 3 hours of people sitting in rooms talking at each other downright exciting."

Like all movies, "Oppenheimer" draws on films that came before it. It owes a debt or two to Oliver Stone's "JFK," in how it's a star-studded, 3-hour epic about grave decisions, and Nolan has cited Andrei Tarkovsky's "Mirror" as an inspiration, too. And Nolan isn't the only one drawing on other works. His star Cillian Murphy also turned to films for inspiration. Per the Independent, when it came time to make the movie, Murphy watched two specific movies as research. This was all part of Murphy's process to "connect with and find the truth" of his character. 

Lawrence of Arabia

The first film on Murphy's list: David Lean's massive 1962 epic "Lawrence of Arabia." The film stars Peter O'Toole as T. E. Lawrence and follows his journey uniting Arab tribes during World War I. It's often held up as one of the best movies ever made, and it covers a huge amount of ground in its lengthy runtime. As Roger Ebert wrote, "For a movie that runs 216 minutes, plus intermission, 'Lawrence of Arabia' is not dense with plot details. It is a spare movie in clean, uncluttered lines, and there is never a moment when we're in doubt about the logistical details of the various campaigns."

Murphy says he watched "Lawrence of Arabia" "in terms of the scale and the life-story aspect," and that makes a lot of sense. Like "Oppenheimer," "Lawrence of Arabia" is a biopic that doesn't really feel like a traditional biopic. It's not a cradle-to-the-grave story, but rather a glimpse into a period in the life of its main character. Nolan takes a similar approach to "Oppenheimer," zeroing in on specific times in Oppenheimer's life rather than telling his complete life story. 

Amadeus

The second movie Murphy watched: "Amadeus," Miloš Forman's 1984 film about the death of Mozart. The film is heavily fictionalized and focuses primarily on F. Murray Abraham's Antonio Salieri, a composer who is fiercely jealous of Mozart's talents, which Salieri sees as divine. He loathes that Mozart is better than him, and his insecurities drive him mad to the point that he plots to destroy Mozart. The rivalry between the two men is played up by having Salieri working to sabotage Mozart while Mozart remains blissfully, tragically unaware. 

If you've seen "Oppenheimer," you can probably guess why Murphy watched this film. The rivalry between Mozart and Salieri mirrors the rivalry between Oppenheimer and Lewis Strauss, played by Robert Downey Jr. Strauss offers Oppenheimer a job early in the film, and the two appear to be colleagues on friendly terms. But a perceived slight from Oppenheimer burns at Strauss for years and causes him to sabotage Oppenheimer's career late in life, just as Salieri targeted Mozart. As Murphy put it, he watched "Amadeus" "because of Salieri and Mozart, that kind of competitive relationship." 

The one-two punch of "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Amadeus" can be seen reflected in "Oppenheimer," be it through the film's sprawling nature or its story about a bitter rivalry between two men. No wonder Murphy turned to these movies for inspiration.'

Ode to the Patron Saint of Mediocrity

TAKE that! Antonio Salieri (Alan Committie) above, in a fit of jealousy with Mozart (Mark Elderkin). Photography courtesy of Montecasino Theatre. WHEN YOU THINK of Amadeus, Peter Shaffer’s perfectly wonderful play of 1979 that cast mischievous light into the mysterious nooks and untold crannies of the life of 18th century Vienna composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the first thing that comes to…

PAKİSTANLI MÜSLÜMAN BİR BİLİM ADAMININ İLGİNÇ ARAŞTIRMASI..

Dünyada yalnızca 14 milyon Yahudi var;

~Amerika'da 7 milyon,

~Asya'da 5 milyon,

~Avrupa'da 2 milyon,

~Afrika'da 100 bin

Adet Musevi yaşıyor..

Soru: Pekiyi de kaç adet Müslüman İnsan var?

Cevap: 1,4 milyar Müslüman;

~1 milyar Asya,

~400 milyon Afrika,

~44 milyon Avrupa,

~6 milyon Amerika

Kıt'asında Yaşıyor.

👉Yâni Dünyada 1 Musevi’ye Karşın 100 Müslüman Var...

İyi ama Yahudiler Müslümanlardan niçin 100 kat daha güçlü ve daha zengin ve daha eğitimli ve daha mucitler?

Tarafsız ve Bilimsel Yollarla tespit edilmiş nedenlerini öğrenmek istiyorsanız lütfen okumayı sürdürün.

👉Tüm zamanların en etkin bilim adamı Albert EİNSTEİN bir Yahudiydi.

👉Psikanalizin babası Sigmund FREUD bir Yahudiydi.

👉Karl MARKS Yahudiydi.

Tüm İnsanlığa zenginlik ve sağlık katmış Yahudilere bakalım;

👉Benjamin Rubin insanlığa aşı iğnesini armağan etti.

Peki, ama;

~Son 100 Yıl içinde Yahudiler sadece Bilimsel alanda 104 Nobel Ödülü kazanırken,

~1.4 milyar Müslüman neden yalnızca 3 Nobel kazandı

Her çocuğa ve her gence kaliteli eğitim verirler...

Bu eğitim türü sorgulayıcı (teslimiyetçi değil), araştırıcı (ezberci değil) ve yaratıcıdır (bilgi üretmek/bulmak içindir)

3 years later

Ezt a faltól-falig polcot a saját kezeimmel csináltam, miután a boltban kapható legnagyobb DVD-tárolót kinőtte a gyűjteményem. Mostanra lett tele.

Mit hol találok?

Nagyjából kontinens -> ország -> rendező -> időrend alapján vannak a fontosabb filmek, a maradék ábécé-sorrendben a megfelelő országon/régión belül.

Kék keretben az ázsiai filmek, zöldben a magyarok, narancssárgában az európaiak, és lilában a zenei témájúak (van itt koncert, doku, musical).

Legfelül horror (H), mese (M), és természetfilmek (D) vannak. C betűvel jelöltem a klasszikusokat (kb. 1920-60), a jelöletlen alsóbb polcokon pedig, mint az olcsó borok a boltban, az angol nyelvű filmek sorakoznak. Majdnem Hollywoodot mondtam, de abból itt nincs sok.

Akkor van némi kavarodás, ha egy különleges kiadvány nem fér el a polcon (pl. Ingmar Bergman 54 filmje az M betű felett bújkál), vagy ha egy rendező országot vált (Ang Lee, Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Asghar Farhadi, Antal Nimród, Fliegauf Benedek, Hajdu Szabolcs, Luc Besson, Paul Verhoven, Roman Polanski, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Miloš Forman, Oliver Stone). Ez utóbbira az a megoldás, hogy ha van magyar vonatkozás, akkor megy a zöld szekcióba, ha ázsiai, akkor a kékbe. Ha mindkettő, akkor szívás. Ez nem egy videótéka, úgyhogy elég, ha én értem a logikáját!

all for the game

Una de mis últimas obsesiones literarias es la trilogía All for the game de Nora Sacavik.

Comencé a leerme La madriguera del zorro en eBiblio en la edición española. Me fascinó tantísimo la historia que no pude parar. Así que devoré los dos siguientes en inglés

(Nota: El rey cuervo todavía no está en ebook por problemas, dijo la editorial en Twitter).

Las ediciones Kindle está baratísimas y la verdad es que el estilo de Sakavic está muy bien y no varió mucho de la traducción en castellano (lo digo por si a alguien le cuesta un poco hacer el cambio de idioma. A mí eso de cambiar de castellano a inglés me daba un poco de respeto, pero fue muy bien).

¿De qué va esta historia?

De Neil Josten un joven jugador de Exy de un Instituto de un pueblo remoto de EE UU. Él no entabla relaciones con nadie; poco se sabe de él y de su familia. En un intento, por parte del entrenador, de buscarle un futuro —lejos de lo que él piensa de un entorno hostil y violento del pueblo—, manda una solicitud para que Neil se pueda unir al equipo de Los Zorros de la Universidad de Palmetto.

¿Por qué aquí? Los Zorros lo forman un grupo de jóvenes con pasados turbios. No es el mejor equipo de la liga, pero el entrenador parece decidido a crear un espacio seguro. (Al estilo de los Patos de Somos los mejores, las pelis originales.)

Neil, desde el inicio del libro, se encuentra huyendo de su pasado, viviendo en el margen, para que nadie lo vea realmente. En su nuevo hogar —la universidad de Palmetto—, Neil se dará cuenta de que cada componente del equipo le persigue un pasado y un presente que le pisa los talones. ¿Qué esconden? ¿Podrán los egos de estos díscolos estudiantes universitarios formar un gran equipo? ¿El pasado de Neil lo encontrará ahora que uno de los mejores jugadores de Exy se encuentra en Los Zorros?

Después de este resumen de la premisa taaan largo, tan solo apuntar alguna cosa más, y es que tiene varias etiquetas de contenido de sensibilidad:

comportamiento agresivo y autoagresivo, muerte, sangre, consumo de drogas con y sin consentimiento, homofobia, abuso físico y psicológico, menciones de suicidio, maltrato animal.

Los personajes son grises y el mundo que lo rodea es violento, pues hay mafias implicadas, por ejemplo. A pesar de esto, que puede ser que asuste, una de las cosas que más de fascina de todo esto es que se crean lugares seguros para los personajes. Primero el entrenador Wymack, quién se preocupa más de lo que admite. Segundo, los personajes rotos crean vínculos más o menos de apoyo. No sé si me explico, pero el caso es que más o menos les personajes comprenden que otre lo está pasando mal y dan margen, tiempo y espacio.

La trilogía, por tanto, recoge los retazos más turbios de nuestro sociedad. Puede parecer que la trama es dark y que, tal vez se romantice/idealice los comportamientos negativos; pero nada más lejos de la realidad. Esta historia no va de el mundo de la mafia o de relaciones abusivas (aunque puedan ser peculiares), va del espacio que queda entre experiencias traumáticas.

Todo comienza con un poco de esperanza ofrecida a Neil.

El ambiente es universitario y el deporte son centrales en las novelas. El Exy se configura como la espina dorsal de Neil: su vida comienza a cambiar por una beca de este deporte y su exposición al mundo depende de esto también.

A mí me encantan los relatos de deportes, me da igual el soporte (escrito, visual, auditivo). No sé por qué (tal vez las decenas de películas Disney que se pueden categorizar en la etiqueta de deportes, Oliver y Benji y un largo etc.). Me ha parecido interesantísimo la construcción de este nuevo deporte, la rivalidad de la liga y cómo entra en juego en la unión de los personajes. Es una pieza fundamental y no algo meramente anecdótico.

Neil, Andrew, Aaron, Nicky, Kevin, Dan, Matt, Renee, Alison y Seth son un grupo de jóvenes problemáticos. Cada cual tiene un pasado diferente y saben lo que es estar hundido en la miseria, por eso se forman grupos de apoyo. No preguntan sin tú no quieres hablar, se respetan y ayudan. Eso me ha parecido increíble. Por varios motivos:

se muestra a unos personajes que conocen los límites (tanto para bien como para mal);

se muestra la salud mental y sus enfermedades, creo, que de un punto de vista bastante bueno. Hay psicóloga, psiquiatra y conversaciones con ellas. El entrenador se preocupa por esto y los personajes lidian como pueden con sus movidas y toman decisiones. Lo que quiero decir es que hay opciones y se muestran;

los grupos no son perfectos, hay putadas muy gordas, secretos, mentiras y medias verdades, pero es imposible no querer a los personajes así, como son;

también hay un crecimiento personal por parte de pada uno de ellos

Perdón por enrollarme y dar vueltas.

El caso es que All for the game es una historia de personajes. Cada acción, cada pequeño paso que dan en el proceso de aprender a confiar, de darse una oportunidad en la vida —junto con la emoción de los acontecimientos dramáticos—, ha hecho que sea una de mis lectura favoritas.

Te añadiré que Nicky fue uno de mis primeros personajes favoritos, que Andrew me robó el corazón y que Neil hay que quererlo con todos sus traumas. Al igual que el resto. Con cada capítulo, era difícil son ver el potencial que Wymack vio en elles.

Oh, y, bueno, hay representación LGBTIAQ+ (especialmente en la G y la A).

Si es tu tipo de historia y te dejas llevar, te pasará como a mí que buscas cada hueco libre para leer un párrafo, una línea o una palabra (contrastado con una amiga jajja).

A partir de aquí va algún spoiler, así que si no lo has leído no sigas

ANDREIL LOS ADORO Y LOS VENERO ME PARECEN LO MÁS BONITO DEL MUNDO. Cada interacción suya me mataba de amor.

Voy por partes: Neil es asexual (demisexual y, yo me jugaría la mano a demirromántico también, pero, bueno, eso ya son teorías mías). Eso es importante porque realmente no se ve por su parte atracción física. La narración lo tiene como foco narrativo así que no cuenta nunca nada de que alguien le gusta. Solo comenta algo de una chica. Como ace, sí que me di cuenta con pequeños comentarios, pero, te confieso, que yo pensaba que la autora no tenía ni idea de la existencia de la asexualidad, así que cuando vi la etiqueta (cuando estaba leyendo el segundo libro) de asexualidad en la edición de Kakao Book, chillé.

Me parece importantísimo esta clase de representación. Porque ser ace es así y, generalmente, no lo nota el alo medio. Así que es una muy buena representación que puede despistar. Me ha encantado cómo se trata, como lo lleva Neil y cómo juega un papel de misterio para sus compañeros (de verdad que yo he vivido situaciones del mismo tipo).

Así que cuando veía a Andrew ceder a Neil... era como una emoción contenida.

Esto le ha dado todavía más puntos a esta trilogía que me ha fascinado.
