Paisan (Paisà) (1946) Roberto Rossellini

Dots Johnson and Alfonsino Pasca in Paisan (Roberto Rossellini, 1946)

Cast: Carmela Sazio, Robert Van Loon, Harold Wagner, Merlin Berth, Mats Carlson, Dots Johnson, Alfonsino Pasca, Maria Michi, Gar Moore, Harriet Medin, Renzo Avanzo, William Tubbs, Dale Edmonds. Screenplay: Sergio Amidei, Klaus Mann, Federico Fellini, Marcello Pagliero, Alfred Hayes, Roberto Rossellini, Rod E. Geiger. Cinematography: Otello Martelli. Film editing: Eraldo Da Roma. Music: Renzo Rossellini.

The phrase "fog of war" was coined by Carl von Clausewitz in reference to the cloud of uncertainty that surrounds combatants on the battlefield, but it seems appropriate to apply it to the miscommunication experienced by the soldiers and civilians in Roberto Rossellini's great docudrama about the Allied campaign to liberate Italy in 1943 and 1944. The six episodes in Rossellini's film illustrate various kinds of problems brought about by language, ignorance, naïveté, and lack of necessary information. A young Sicilian woman (Carmela Sazio) struggles to communicate with the G.I. (Robert Van Loon) left guarding her; a Black American soldier (Dots Johnson) tries to recover the shoes that were stolen from him by a Neapolitan street urchin (Alfonsino Pasca) after he got drunk and passed out; a Roman prostitute (Maria Michi) picks up a drunk American (Gar Moore), but when he tells her of the beautiful, innocent woman he met six months earlier in Rome she realizes that she was the woman; an American nurse (Harriet Medin) accompanies a partisan into the German-occupied section of Florence in search of an old lover; three American chaplains visit a monastery in a recently freed section of Northern Italy, but only the Catholic chaplain (William Tubbs), who speaks Italian, realizes that the monks are deeply shocked that his two companions are a Protestant and a Jew. Only the final -- and the best, most harrowing -- section deals with the traditional concept of the fog of war, as Allied soldiers try to aid Italian partisans in their fight with the retreating but still fierce Germans. As in many Italian neorealist films, the actors are either non-professionals or unknowns, and their uneasiness with scripted dialogue sometimes shows -- at least it does with the English speakers; I can't judge the ones who speak Italian or German. There is also occasional sentimental overuse of the score by the director's brother, Renzo Rossellini. But on the whole, Paisan is still an extraordinarily compelling film, an essential portrait of war and its effects, made more essential by having been filmed on location amid the ruin and rubble so soon after the war ended. Glimpses of the emptied streets of Florence, bare of tourists and trade, are startling, as are the scenes that take place in the marshlands of the Po delta in the final sequence. The screenplay earned Oscar nominations for Alfred Hayes, Federico Fellini, Sergio Amidei, Marcello Pagliero, and Roberto Rossellini, but lost to Robert Pirosh for the more conventional war movie Battleground (William A. Wellman, 1949).

#Eddie Got The Advice From New Girl No One Can Convince Me Otherwise

[i-dont-know-nor-care-go-away]

If I had a nickel for every show where there is a extremely pretty lady that's been made tough by the hard life she's had, serving in an organization that isn't good all the time but isn't bad, while carrying the trauma of something she can't talk about, and she serves as the right hand lady of her male best friend that is the top leader of their work place who is goofy, likes to cook, makes dad jokes, and has just absolute dad energy, and is going to die and they know it, and they're both (non cannon, except to me) bisexual and they are just as blorbo together if they are life long best friends or married, and they both mentor / parent a witty, dark haired female lead that has trauma from both her traumatic childhood and the fact she is descended from someone who has weird genetics that gave them power but was also a murderer that hurt people, so she fears she is a monster until meeting someone almost like her who explains that her genetic mutation isnt morally bad and she isnt genetically predisposed to being a monster and they all work together and go on missions sometimes out in space but they are such a family it kills me

I'd have two nickels which like. I love.

But like. Melinda may, Philip Coulson and Daisy Johnson are just. So Una Chin Riley, Christopher Pike, and La'an Noonien Singh. The venn diagram is a circle. I am going insane over this

Hello, everyone!

First of all, before the list begins, I feel that I need to warn you that English isn't my first language, so might happen you find some writing/grammar mistakes, I also don't have a beta reader, again I'm sorry for any mistakes.

Most, if not all my fanfictions are 'x ofc/c', however, I write them as reader fics. That means that the only differences from a 'x reader' fic is that the character will have a name and the narration will be in the third person. But no details about the embodiment of the character will be given, with a few exceptions in a couple stories, but I'll be warning in the notes and warnings of the piece when that happens.

Also, I made this Google form, so you can tell me where you want to be tagged. That's all for now.

Enjoy :)

Update: ALL my fanfictions are on indeterminate hiatos. But, I'm not abandoning them, I promise 😘

Update #2: Some changes in the Masterlist, I'm reorganizing the whole thing to get a better view of what I'll be doing, hopefully I'll be able to post something soon.

btw i’m writing fics for dastmalchian characters as we speak

[spockvarietyhour]

Encounter at Farpoint makes more sense when you've watched an entire most of a season of V.

yes TNG had the 60s writers and Gene Roddenberry were huge part, but the music, directors, production…, I've gotten a lot of whiplash how V's Visitors (in the series specifically) are closing in on early TNG aliens.

Somehow TNG took things that work and didn't in V and incorporated in there.

And by no means should anyone watch V the Series..

Felt very Margot Verger in this dress

At least it wasn't like the time I accidentally dressed like Will Graham...

I hate movies. I just rewatched Jeremiah Johnson and at the end when Bear Claw meets him in the snow and Bear Claw looks the same as the first time we saw him but at the start of the movie Jeremiah was still wearing the clothes he set off with and saw Bearclaw as a crazy recluse wearing a weird mismatch of skins but now at the end Jeremiah’s wearing a bear head as a hat and his clothes are roughly put together furs and he has visually and developmentally become more like Bear Claw than he ever thought he would. And Bear Claw sits down at the fire and says “You come far, Pilgrim.” And Jeremiah says “Feels like far.” And Bear Claw says “Were it worth the trouble?” And Jeremiah says “Huh? What trouble?” And they sit there in silence for a full ten seconds because they both know exactly what kind of irreparable damage has been done both to and by Jeremiah. It’s fucking ridiculous. Robert Redford and Will Geer both owe me money
