Christians in the Movies
Christians in the Movies traces the arc of the portrayal in film of Christians from 1905 to the present. For most of the first six decades, the portrayals were favorable and even reverential. By contrast, from 1970 on, Christians have often been treated with hostility and often outright ridicule. This book explores this shift through in-depth reviews and commentaries on 100 important films, as well as briefer discussions of about 75 additional Christian-themed films. Peter E. Dans examines various causative factors for this change such as the abolition of the Hays Motion Picture Production Code, the demise of the Catholic Legion of Decency, and the associated profound societal and cultural changes. From a look at the real story behind the Scopes trial to portraits of actors, directors and writers most prominently associated with films involving Christians and Christianity, Christians in the Movies provides a great resource for those who wish to select films for showing at churches, universities or for personal viewing and critical examination of the recent cultural movements and thought.
Audrey hepburn - hiçbir şey imkânsız değildir imkânsızlığın içinde bile bir imkân vardır
“Eğer güzel gözlerin olmasını istiyorsan, insanlara iyilikle bak. Eğer saçların güzel olsun istiyorsan, bırak çocuklar ellerini geçirsin saçlarından. İnce bir bedense isteğin, ekmeğini açlarla bölüş. Ve güzel dudaklara sahip olmak için, sadece güzel sözler söyle.” Güzelliği ve zarafetiyle bir dönem Hollywood tarihine imzasını atan dünya sinemasının gelmiş geçmiş en güzel yüzlerinden biri kabul edilen Audrey Hepburn, Oscar ödüllü bir aktris değildi sadece. Abartıdan uzak şık giyimiyle, duruşuyla, bakışıyla, tavırlarıyla, kısa saçları, kalın kaşları ve ahu gözlü makyajıyla ama en önemlisi sıcacık gülümsemesi ve samimiyetiyle...
The Short Sharp Life of T. E. Hulme
Prior to the First World War T.E. Hulme was one of the most original and striking creative personalities in England, strongly admired by both Pound and Eliot. Yet he died in 1917, virtually unknown. A key figure in the genesis of Modernism, Hulme mixed among a great range of gifted artists and was never shy of courting controversy. Unusually among poets of his generation, he was convinced of the rightness of Britain's role in the war (and criticised Bertrand Russell for his pacifism.) Robert Ferguson offers the first modern biography of Hulme, drawing upon access to Hulme's papers and later interviews with his associates. 'A humane, comprehensive biography... By the end, Ferguson's final judgment of his subject - 'the conservative character at its best' - seems justified.' Jeremy Noel-Todd, Observer
