Sertão Filmes

Hoje, faleceu o diretor Sidney Lumet (1924–2011).

Em seu filme “Network“, o personagem de Peter Finch, cansado da impassibilidade das pessoas diante de tanta violência, dos problemas econômicos, ambientais e sociais, vai à TV e conclama todos a que gritem pelas janelas: “ESTOU PUTO PRA CARALHO E NÃO VOU MAIS SUPORTAR ISSO!!!” (texto completo abaixo do vídeo).

Howard Beale: I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV’s while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be. We know things are bad – worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, ‘Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.’ Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot – I don’t want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. You’ve got to say, ‘I’m a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!’ So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, ‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!’ I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell – ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!… You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: “I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!”

Uma animação tendo o Rio de Janeiro como cenário será o máximo!

Rio (2011), direção de Carlos Saldanha, no IMDB.

A Queda de um Cineasta – (paródia de A Queda) from Karaloka on Vimeo.

Nesta paródia do filme “A Queda” (Der Untergang), Hitler pretendia rodar um longa-metragem sobre sua fuga, num submarino, até o exílio secreto no Brasil. Mas algo deu errado…

Para quem estiver em dúvida sobre qual câmera digital comprar para realizar suas produções independentes, segue a comparação entre dois excelentes equipamentos: Canon 7D versus Barbie Video Girl. Conhecendo a taxa de importação pra lá de exagerada do nosso país, aconselho a aquisição da Barbie…

Canon 7D vs. Barbie Video Girl from Brandon Bloch on Vimeo.

A comparison between my two new cameras: The $1,800 Canon 7D versus the brand new $50 Barbie Video Girl… available in the girlie aisle of your local Toys R Us. It’s the sassiest camera money can buy.

This is also a spoof of another video that compared the Canon 7D and iPhone 4: “iPhone 4 as good as the 7D? No, but it’s amazing for what it is.” http://vimeo.com/12925855

Enjoy. It’s all in good fun.

Veja a abertura do programa The Dick Cavett Show, no qual o entrevistado foi Alfred Hitchcock: simplesmente sensacional. B^) A entrevista completa pode ser vista no You Tube.

Eric Idle descreve como o grupo Monty Python decidiu incluir a cena final de A Vida de Brian (1979) — na qual homens crucificados cantam Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

A canção completa no palco (aprenda a letra):

E no filme:

Alguns erros de filmagem que eu nem imaginava ainda existir. (Atenção para o figurino do sujeito da claquete!)

Sempre achei os filmes de Tim Burton superficiais. Os caras do College Humor resumiram bem o porquê.
