Tally 7.2 Memory Acess Violation

A recommendation


This

recommend something, I confess, it is winning them over to the laziness of this writer that the educational momentum or intellectual solidarity. The best that can cope with a remarkable aesthetic fact in this case a series of TV - is to analyze and then reveal the reason for that relevance. That is why if it is limited primarily to a recommendation, it actually is (I) avoiding the task.

With apologies for then, happened to recommend British miniseries Apparitions, which was originally issued in 2008 by the BBC . It consists of six one-hour episodes each, which tells the story of Father Jacob , priest carries out the task of investigating possible cases of holiness, until a series of events put him off the responsibility to take another job, which he initially wants nothing to do: be an exorcist. Jacob has a knack for performing exorcisms, and demons so afraid. When finally the manifestations of evil become uncontrollable, assuming its responsibility to fight the battle.

Let's say that after The Exorcist, William of Freidkin , all fiction that relates to the theme of this masterpiece will be no more than a footnote on page. Therefore, although there are some cases Post movies of Friedkin, not much remarkable material. In this regard Apparitions is a surprise: for good theological basis, by the intelligence which refers to certain themes-the relationship of Catholicism to other religions, for example, always from the particularity of the event narrated, without sounding crude and obvious though it falls in line to assume a clear position, the quality of their dialogue, the richness of his characters, for his exploration into the mysteries of the Faith, and above all, for taking the Evil serious and not a little game reduced to mere spectacle (as ninety percent of the films current horror.) And also because it is a very good story fantastic, really fantastic that conveys a lot of fear and genuine emotion, these feelings appear in front of the Other. Perhaps the negative side, has to be noted that the beginning is a bit bewildered, if the best in a tale of horror and fantasy is to go showing the emergence of the monstrous little by little, here is very fast, goes to steaks say without much preparation. But slowly the evil effect is left aside and imposing a very successful story.

Finally, a word to the best of the series: its protagonist, the huge and wonderful Father Jacob , played by Martin Shaw. His unwavering faith, his intelligence, courage, and each of their sentences (either against a superior, who would remember what is historically the Church when the speaker seems to want to deny it, or face a skeptical nun imposed by to control) make it one of the best characters TV has given and / or films in recent years. Someone who also saw the series, but believing something at odds with the church of Catholicism, I said something like, "if I find a cure as Jacob, I would all buts I have. " Without wishing to raise here a discussion on this position, I think this perfectly describes the empathy that can produce the character. For my part, I have saved in my memory several words and phrases, often short and blunt, as when he reminds the nun, and in decisive moments in history, the best thing you can do to help is to stay in the chapel and pray. "Prayer is the most powerful weapon we have." Father Jacob is-mainly-Fe entire teaching Anyway, I recommend looking Apparitions. A very good story fantastic. A great horror story (such as movies and rarely, very rarely, does count.) A huge religious melodrama.

Why Do Degus Masterbate

Watchmen, Zack Zynder: denial, confusion and investment

Many things should the movies. In less than one hundred years was able to navigate, analyze, judge and then reconfigure the entire history of the West.

In this age of denial, confusion and investment, the film was (and is, as his works continue to operate beyond the time step, if we are able to see) a beautiful bridge that allowed the man Modern remember its origin, its tradition. Analogical thinking, the ability mythopoeics, terrestrial features (with strong emphasis on the heroic), the tragic condition and transcendent values \u200b\u200bwere elements that the film through his works, put back into circulation reconfiguring through diegesis "contemporary."

This reconfiguration was a necessary addition to any other act of acceptance by the film. What we agreed was the state of the world, its materialism and pragmatic mind. And so, accepting this fate, he was able to carry out this reconfiguration (intensifying what is done by Poe, for example).

But this reconfiguration always avoided the confusion, the allegory and the investment of those traditional skills. So, for example, see the deployment western Homeric heroism in other forms, reviving and constant action. So we also see the appearance in Hitchcock standing myths that are not named explicitly (although it will give us clear clues about it). The important thing, of course, not so much the fact of recognizing a particular myth relates how each film or scene shot by the Master as the transmission of funds to be of those myths.

The film then accept the condition of the world to simultaneously identify the exit doors, or the bridges that help us pass over this wasteland, or like James Cameron did not for many years, boats to survive the shipwreck.

Watchmen, a film adaptation of a popular and acclaimed comic, is the opposite of what we have been describing the film. Is a constant denial. On the one hand denies any narrative and aesthetic order. Instead of that order, imposes a chaos that overwhelmed with sounds furious and violent, dramatic and famous songs slow motion. The narrative breaks into subplots and flashbacks also overwhelm rather than enrich the story. And as if that were not enough, Watchmen seeks to compensate its spectacular empty with a solemn tone that runs through the nearly three hours it takes. It seems that there is a claim (Pseudo) philosophical film, with each character representing different positions. This was expressed in every dialogue, always delivered with a tone of gravity that leads to laughter. It talks about the perception of time, of moral principles, of Alexander, of pharaohs, there is a character with qualities that are supposed divine ... The operation is simple: the idea of \u200b\u200bdoing something prestigious quoting or naming certain issues which themselves are believed important, not realizing that in any case the important thing is to make these issues present something that unfolds before the viewer in operating state .
is, as shown, a hybrid, a celebration of the state of confusion by annulling the aesthetic and symbolic potential of cinema.

And confusion leads to investment. Believing that reflects on the heroic, that element is negated and reversed. There are no heroes ambiguous or conflicted. There is, without more, people with certain special abilities (physical, intellectual) unable to use them with virtue. Someone could say just what the film suggests is that in a world like that described in the fable is impossible such a thing. But that would require the appearance of any element that is in conflict with this (dis) order and whose will is defeated or prevented from developing. Nor is there any way conflict, or explicitly, much less symbolic. The doors are closed, collapsed bridges and boats sunk. Simply because there is more than possible. And it is the latter the cause of all evil in the movie.

may Watchmen scream that the world is rotten, ugly, violent, inexplicable. It does furious cry, getting noticed. But he decides to stay there, making massive show in a cynical conclusion. As cynical as all its characters.

Watchmen is one long advertisement for something that films with heroic and transcendent sense, always fought: nihilism.
