This week in film teaching: I discussed the alien invasion narrative and how The War of the Worlds (1953) set the prototype in film, shifting Wells’s secular Darwinism into a providential drama, where human hubris fails, churches offer refuge, and bacteria act as divine grace.

"There are only a handful of movie characters so real that the audience refers to them as touchstones. Fast Eddie Felson is one of them... given weight because the film is not about his victory... but about his defeat by pool, by life"
Roger Ebert ~ The Hustler's 65th anniversary

Known as the ‘French Hitchcock’, Chabrol was the most prolific of the new wave directors, leaving behind a huge number of icily brilliant thrillers. These are some of his best. https://t.co/wUVmCfv47k

Hi #FilmTwitter...!!!...

#RoboCop #Film (1987)-

The Science fiction action film set in a
dystopian, near-future Detroit, Michigan- (USA)

Where I'm from and born,

I still live near here in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

Except for my more to recent
Chicago Film School years.

But I've been back in Michigan since then as before.

*Though RoboCop was primarily filmed in
Dallas, Texas, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

....

And with this clip, a toast to the
creators and makers of the coming-

#TheNewWorldOrder.

THE FRAUD-

@realDonaldTrump
@POTUS-

is owned by and working for them.

RESIST...!!!...

In the title sequence for Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Lean exploits the 70mm frame by pinning Lawrence and his motorcycle to the far-left edge, balancing the text against an expanse of concrete. The high angle and stark negative space turn an intimate prep into an ominous prelude.

#TriviaTuesday: The performance of "Don Giovanni" as well as other operas depicted in 1984's 'Amadeus' was filmed at the National Theatre in Prague (aka the Estates Theatre), where Mozart's Italian opera premiered in 1787 and the only surviving opera house where he conducted.

'Sleepyhead':

"And everything is going to the beat.
And everything is going,
(Is go Oíche Fhéil Eoin,
Oíche Fhéil Eoin, Oích-oíche Fhéil,
Oíche Fheíl, Oíche Fhéil Eoin,
Ní thiochfaidh mé aniar.)
(Óró mo churraichín ó.)

And you said,
it was like fire around the brim.
Burning solid, Burning thin the burning rim.
Like stars burning holes right through the dark!

Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes.
You were one inch from the edge of this bed.
I drag you back a sleepyhead, Sleepyhead.

They couldn't think of something to say
the day you burst!
With all their lions and all their might
and all their thirst.

They crowd your bedroom
like some thoughts wearing thin.
Against the walls, Against your rules,
Against your skin.

My beard grew down to the floor
and out through the doors.
And of your eyes,
begonia skies like a sleepyhead,
Sleepyhead. Go ahead."

-(Passion Pit)
