Body: I just finished watching "Through a Glass Darkly" by Ingmar Bergman this evening. It left me deep in thought. I suppose that is not a surprise, considering that it is Bergman. I know much has been written on this film. I can only say that it is intimidating to watch a film like this with it's simple setting, cast of 4 people, Bach score and natural lighting and wonder how I can even imagine that I can make films? Not that I have made much in the way of film, a few animated shorts, a few 24 hour film festival tries. Yet, even at 43 I aspire to making films. As I have all my life.   It seems closer then ever, I am currently working on Tannerwolfe.com in exchange for Tanner to shoot a short film for me that I am penciling in for next summer after I finish my latest animated short. After watching this film it's hard to not want to pack it up and quit before I make a fool of myself ( or an even bigger fool). The dialog and the writing is what always hits me when I watch Bergman. He is so deeply involved with the thoughts and motivations of his characters that they live and breath with rich fullness. I want to write like this. Instead, I am sloppy with language. I am much better at thinking in visual context versus the written word. But, I long to be like Bergman and be so focused and alive that my characters have weight. I want to steal and suck the marrow off all these words.   Bergman.   I have to prepare myself to watch "Winters Light". I hope I survive with any of my personal vision left.

Body: Like many animators, I am inspired by the works of Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki. For me, he exemplifies what the capability of animation is. His stories are engaging, his characters honest and searching. His vision true. As great as his works are, I think that the art form of animation is still in its Infancy. Winsor McCay created some of the first animations, and envisioned animation as the next great art form. In my estimation, It has yet to make good on it's capabilities. When I look at what has been done in animation, I don't see work that comes close to the emotional and lasting impact of the rest of cinema. Even with work such as Disney's "Dumbo", "Fantasia", "Triplets of Belleville", "Akira", "Graveyard of Fireflies", "The man who planted trees", and awesome works from Japan, Canada, Russia, Italy. I see artists who struggle to create great work often without support or supplies. Or caught in a system that sets it's expectations at slap-stick humor or cliched action flicks. If you go back to the origins of the media and look at what Winsor McCay was doing in 1911, not only was it impeccably drawn but it had impact. For instance, "The Sinking of the Lusitania" (1918). He used his animation to recreate the events surrounding the Germans sinking the ocean liner "Lusitania". His animation raised public awareness that eventually led to us entering World War One. After the brilliance of McCay's work, the rest of the industry sank to rubber hose style animation and it would be years before anyone came close to the realism of figure and movement that he did in 1911. Animation was hacked and used to slapstick low-brow humor, created by animators who did not know how to draw movement. We have yet to see the impact of "Citizen Kane" or the artist visions of someone like Fellini or John Cassavetes. Where are the Bergman's and Wong Kar Wai's? I love animation and yet I think it sell itself too short. It sometimes comes down to finances or skill or capabilities. Most often, I believe that this art form suffers from lack of vision. No one believes that they can do great things. No one tries to explore the human condition or tell works that searingly bite at society. How about a film like "Scenes from a marriage" or even "8 1/2" or "La Strada" or "The Godfather" or "Woman under the Influence" or "born into brothels" Why not documentaries as animation? Why not? Vision.

Body: I was asked by my friend, Paul, to list several movies I would consider giving to my favorite film-loving friend for Christmas this year. Paul and I used to get together once a week to watch films. Since he was asking the question, I decided to make him my subject. This past year, I’ve watched several films I thought, "Man, I wish I had been able to see this with Paul." The Passenger was one of these. I would like to say upfront that beyond the bullshit that I have written below, I just plain loved the movie so much I wanted to share it with my friend.   David Locke (Jack Nicholson) steps out of a stranded Land Rover in the desert, sand in every direction.  He's just come back from a fruitless search for a militia. He is a reporter with a stranded vehicle and a stranded life. He comes across a fellow English traveler who has died in his sleep in the room next to his.  Remarkably this man looks a 
lot like him. David makes an impulsive decision and changes identities with the dead man. Thus begins The Passenger, a film by Michelangelo Antonioni director of Blow Up.
   
In the 126 minutes making up the story, there is perhaps five pages of dialogue. The Passenger belongs to that rare breed of film that actually tells its story using the power of a visual medium over dialogue. It requires the viewer to engage carefully. Antonioni uses the camera to languidly guide us through the space, walking our eyes past the clues that start to set up the thriller. The movie feels very Hitchcockian, not only in it's subject matter, which touches on such movies as North by Northwest, but in the concept of the ordinary guy getting caught up in events beyond his control. David Locke has stolen the identity of this dead English man and is a passenger on this man’s mysterious life.    David Locke begins to realize that even though he has escaped from his troubled life, he may be out of the frying pan and into the fire.  The life he has "stolen" has its own tangles and dangers.  Eventually his previous life comes looking for him while his new identity is endangering his very existence. The idea of stealing away into another life is a potent drug that fascinates me. To be able to slip into another existence, to be free of the past, to be alive instead of stuck in the drudgery. We often think the grass is greener anywhere else except where we are. David Locke gives into his temptation and finds himself wrapped up in circumstances beyond his control.   The only bright spot in this journey is a young girl he runs into played by Maria Schneider.  With innocent looks and worldly understated knowledge, she embraces the chance encounter with David.  He is man swimming upstream against what’s typical in this world and she is a seeker feeding on his lack of the mundane.  Together, they travel through Spain, till the events placed in motion by David's identity theft play out in a masterful sequence that, like much of this movie, is firmly imbedded in the tension between the languid storytelling and the thriller plot.  Antonioni uses his vision and pacing to contrast against the expectations of the viewer. It is this exploration creating the vibrancy of the movie. The camera guides us playfully at times through this physical landscape while Antonioni slips us in and out of David's mind. Because of this interplay with the viewer, the movie comes off fresh and timeless.
   I also love the way flashbacks are handled in live sound. For instance, at one point we hear a voice on a tape recorder talking, but we’re not told at first it’s coming from the tape player.  Then we see the player and think "ah, clever." But, as David listens, there’s a subtle transition and the camera pans out from him to a window and we see we have moved out of this tape recording of the past and into a flashback.
   
For me the true test of a beloved film is one that I have to get a "fix" of at least once a year.  Kind of like when some of us were kids and the "Wizard of Oz" would play on CBS at Holiday time... (was it Thanksgiving?).  The Passenger is now on that list.  The DVD is a bit sparse but it does include a commentary track with Jack Nicholson and with Journalist Aurora Irvine and the Screenwriter Mark Peploe. Thanks Paul and Spout for giving me the opportunity to talk about this great film.

Body: Sometimes, just hearing the music to a certain movie puts me into the mood for the experience of watching a film. I rented a collection of Nina Rota's music from the library the other day and lost myself in the tastes of Rota's stylings. Besides creating the score for "The Godfather" films, he also did "Romeo and Juliet", "Death on the Nile", and many Fellini films. After listening to all that great music, I was influence to watch "La Dolce Vita" tonight. For those of you who don't know, the story surrounds Marchello Mastroianni as he vainly tries to make sense of his life in the swirl of a series of events set in Rome.   As in many Fellini films, music is essential and Nina Rota helped create that vision for 15 of Fellini's films. Many directors have their favorite musical authors, Hitchcock had Bernard Herman, Spielberg - John Williams, Tim Burton - Danny Elfman. Music is part of the emotion of a movie and directors seem to gravitate to a particular voice that relates best to their own.   The film portrays events surrounding a reporter played by Mastroianni who is disillusioned with life. He drifts through a series of evenings each that starts out with much promise, from sexual encounters to supernatural Mother Mary sightings. During the coarse of these events, the emptiness of his life begins to permeate till by dawn he has had to take his girl friend to the hospital to have her stomach pumped, identify the body of his best friend, gotten beat up for a girl he never touched. Through these illusions Mastroinni travels looking for truth but never having to tell us that this is his goal. Fellini leaves the preaching out of these moral situations and does not try to poke the obvious in our faces like most good American directors would have done with the same material.   Through out this mix of moments Nina Rota makes three dimensional the imagery with his music. During a night of dancing and partying Marchello tries in vain to woo Anita Ekberg, almost old fashion in his approach he is pushed aside by the Satyr stylings of her friend Frankie who kicks the band into high gear in pseudo Jazz fashion and leads the revelers through the Roman ruins with a frenzy. Marchello is left in the dust. From jazz to an Italian concept of Rock-a-billy, the music swiftly shifts. Through it all, twinges of Nina Rota's classical Italian upbringing and world music concepts seep together to create something that is old and new at the same time. Just listen to the opening chords to the movie, classical music with a twinge of chinese sensibilities! If it all sounds familiar, it's only because composers like Danny Elfman have taken up the torch and channel Nina Rota. Sometime just listen to "Pee Wee's Big Adventure and "8 1/2" . Do it blind folded. Passages could easily be swapped. Don't tell me that composer Henry Mancinni didn't clue into some of those pseudo jazz styling himself from Nina Rota. Hell, Henry made a career of almost doing jazz. No offense, I love it all. Sometimes just hearing a bit of music can make me hunger to return to a great film. Film is like travel and music is what carries me there.   -brad yarhouse
]]>Thu, 02 Nov 2006 03:05:00 GMTbradBrad Movies11/1/2006 11:05:00 PMSometimes, just hearing the music to a certain movie puts me into the mood for the experience of watching a film. I rented a collection of Nina Rota's music from the library the other day and lost myself in the tastes of Rota's stylings. Besides creating the score for "The Godfather" films, he also did "Romeo and Juliet", "Death on the Nile", and many Fellini films. After listening to all that great music, I was influence to watch "La Dolce Vita" tonight. For those of you who don't know, the story surrounds Marchello Mastroianni as he vainly tries to make sense of his life in the swirl of a series of events set in Rome.   As in many Fellini films, music is essential and Nina Rota helped create that vision for 15 of Fellini's films. Many directors have their favorite musical authors, Hitchcock had Bernard Herman, Spielberg - John Williams, Tim Burton - Danny Elfman. Music is part of the emotion of a movie and directors seem to gravitate to a particular voice that relates best to their own.   The film portrays events surrounding a reporter played by Mastroianni who is disillusioned with life.

Body: This is a movie that bears repeated viewing. I would not say that it is the greatest movie that Hayao Miyazaki has made, but he takes risks and challenges the viewer with a complicated story line and and unconventional plot twists. Instead of sticking a safe, simple plot. For example examine the story telling around the character of Howl and his Heart. 1. He is dying from the loss of his heart. 2. He voluntarily gave up his heart. 3. The witch of the waste wants his heart (and his love) 4. He is very powerful and yet trapped by fear. 5. He traded his heart for power. 6. He would like to love Sophie but is unable because of no heart. At the same time he and all of the rest of the characters are not whom they seem to be. Each has a face they wear and a hidden truth of who they really are. Each is under some kind of curse or spell. I know that I am only catching a few of the surfaces that this film has. Like a jewel created by a master craftsman, it has many facets to explore.

Body: Yesterday, my first Spout purchase arrived, "Chariots of Fire SE" With great anticipation I popped it into the DVD player. Anticipation that had been building since the beginning of the DVD format. Sure, Chariots had been available on DVD since the format began. Infact it was one of the early releases to the format. Unfortunately, it was originally released in a piss poor pan and scan edition. Out of rebellion to the idiots who took it upon themselves to release an Academy Awarded "Best Picture" film in pan and scan, I refused to rent or purchase it. Satisifying my craving by watching it on TCM when it would bubble to the top of the programming schedule. Finally, this year it was released with a restored anamorphic widescreen print and an extra disk of documentaries. It definately was worth the wait. The image and sound quality are the best I have seen since it's debut in the theater in 1981. Except for the quality of the opening running sequence which also bookends the film, the rest of the elements seem stellar. The soundtrack sounded better then the CD. ( how about releasing the complete soundtrack someday?) What surprised me when watching the movie was the sophistication of the editing. I had not noticed before how the race sequences where mixed and was impressed with the juxtoposition of the present with the past. For instance, the scene when Harold Abrahams (played by Ben Cross) wins the 100 meters at the 1924 olympics. First we see the scene play out in real time, no music. Then, as Abrahams hits the string winning the event, we replay the event in slow motion with the Vangelis score at the same time we cut back and forth to the present moment as the crowds erupt, friends leap to the field, and Abrahams is congratulated. As viewers, we already are aware of him having won the race, but the impact of the music, slow motion camera work and the anticipation of the juxtipositioning of the present makes the scene work. In facination we relive the moment, knowing the outcome but caught up in the beauty of it.Sure. Every sports cast for the past 30 years has used the same technique. Live event then, instant replay. But, the mixing the the present with the past sets up visual echos. It visually displays what is going on in the hearts and souls of the audiance. The ringing of the event through your mind. Seeing it flash and replay inside your head as you are moving forward in time.
