	King Kong (1933 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film, directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, is notable for Willis O'Brien's stop-motion animation, Max Steiner's musical score, and actress Fay Wray's performance as the ape's improbable love interest.
		Amazingly the now classic film was not nominated for any Academy Awards, however it's speculated that the film would have won best special effects for many of the films groundbreaking effects if the award had existed at the time.

	Film Theory
		From that point on, especially with the expansion of film departments and faculties at institutions of higher learning, film theory and criticism proliferated at a rapid rate, and film journals became as much a place for heated debate on the issues of art and aesthetics as the learned journals were for essays on literature.
		For him, film, by being freed from the constraints of real time and space as well as causality, is capable of being constructed with the free play of the viewer's mental life.
		But it is basically Bazin's shrewd and perceptive appreciation of film, his ability to respond to the nuances of each work, his discerning eye for style and form, and his telling use of details and techniques as the source for his concepts that have survived as a model for future writers of film criticism.

	AG_E_Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It was filmed originally as a series of twelve episodes, and the work by Enrique Rosas was a true "super production" that surpassed any expectations of the audiences as well of the critics of its time.
		In this sense, the film is one of the most contemporary of its time, a great work of "cinema vérité", that includes two very real elements: the inspector Juan Manuel Cabrera playing himself, and the famous final scene showing real execution of the thieves, filmed by Rosas himself in 1915.
		In 1933, in an attempt to modernize, the series was voiced and edited to transform it into a long film.

	Cinema And Film Industry in Weimar Republic, 1918-1933
		Film industry in the Weimar Republic was deeply affected by the intervention of economic and political concerns in all aspects of cultural life.
		Fantastic films were the direct expressions of the ambition and desire of middle and lower middle class that sought escape in the cinema because their real prospects were so limited.
		The film’s emphasis on the instinctual is significant in comprehending the social distrust of the democratic institutions of the Weimar Republic.

	King Kong (1933)
		Co-producers and directors Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack (both real-life adventurers and film documentarians) conceived of the low-budget story of a beautiful, plucky blonde woman (Fay Wray) and a frightening, gigantic, 50 foot ape-monster as a metaphoric re-telling of the archetypal Beauty and the Beast fable.
		The film was shot during the spring and summer of 1932 in the confines of the studio.
		During the voyage, Ann prepares to practice and rehearse a scene for the film director on the deck, "to see which side of my face looks best and all that." Driscoll really believes her life is in jeopardy and is feeling protective of her safety: "This is no place for a girl," he tells her.

	Remote Control : Zero for Conduct (1933)
		Although director Jean Vigo only completed four films when he died in 1934 at the age of 29, his films have had an enormous impact on generations of filmmakers who have tried to combine the disparate elements of stark reality and surreal fantasy as seamless as Vigo.
		Throughout the film, Vigo infuses just the right amount of fantasy into what are otherwise straightforward scenes of childhood, giving the entire work a feeling of dreamy fantasia where the realities of childhood are kept at arm’s length.
		A film to be treasured and studied, the film has left its trace on everyone from Francois Truffaut to Federico Fellini, and while Vigo’s sole feature-length film, L’Atalante, suggested even greater things, it is this film that illustrates the poetic realism that is synonymous with Vigo’s name.

		For display to a larger number of spectators the problem of stereoscopic film has not yet been solved satisfactorily (and is still an issue even today)--and hence the sense of depth in film pictures is extraordinarily small.
		As a final point, Arnheim in Film As Art declares that for film to be considered art, it must demonstrate not only the perfection of each element, but the perfection of those elements in relation to each other: melody, harmony and overall composition.

	Madame Bovary / 1933 / film review / Jean Renoir
		It is certainly am ambitious film for Renoir to attempt at this stage in his career and his film is faithful to Flaubert’s novel in content and spirit (although the film was far less controversial than the novel when it was first published).
		His device of filming scenes from a distance, often through an open doorway, is particularly well used here, creating the impression that the viewer is standing on the set, spying on intimate conversations.
		As a result, the film’s famous tragic denouement is intensely moving, without the clumsy sentimentality or grossness which has marred other film adaptations of the story.

	CINEASTE
		In the year 2000, the film was restored under the direction of Martin Koerber, and it is now in crystalline condition and shorter by only about seventy meters (under three minutes) than the print that left Lang’s hands in 1933.
		The shift in emphasis from Mabuse as a character in the film to Mabuse as a detached spirit hovering over it and circulating through it by means of (or in the form of) language is one of the aspects of Testament that make it a remarkably modern film.
		He explains that one goal of the producers of the French version was to shorten the running time of the film; as he notes, this was largely accomplished through reducing the scenes between Kent and Lilli (notably, by omitting the flashback to their first meeting at an employment office).

		Among the film's famous scenes are the moment when Groucho mistakes Harpo for his own mirror image, and the barrage of oranges and grapefruits that greet Margaret Dumont as she sings the national anthem in the film's riotous finale.
		In the film, the Marx brothers, with McCarey, present a world in which organized groups, political parties, nations, and social classes seem foolish, and court jesters sane.
		Yet the film was such a failure when it opened in 1933 that Paramount dropped its contract with the Marx brothers.

		After its first showing in 1933 there was an immediate outcry and fears that it might result in civil unrest caused the film to be banned.

		As German critic Wilhelm Roth once observed, the corpus of 1,100 narrative features produced between 1933 and 1945 catalyzes visions of what hell might look like for a cineaste--a hell where one's torments alternate between hideous propaganda, formal bombast, and unbearable kitsch.
