	1999 in film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Please note that following the tradition of the English language film industry, these are the top grossing films that were first released in the United States and Canada in 1999; because they may have made most of their income in a later year, they may not be the top-grossing films for calendar year.
		The top ten films of 1999 as of January 26, 2006 (U.S. and Canada), January 26, 2006 (UK) and January 26, 2006 (Australia) are as follows:
		In total, six films released in 1999 grossed more than $400 million, reaching international blockbuster motion picture status.

	Darcy's Korean Film Page - 1999
		This is the second film this year to portray North Koreans in a sympathetic light; the last director to try this did so in the 1960s, and was subsequently jailed for his efforts.
		What makes this film so bad is not so much the cast, chosen from a growing population of Western actors working in Korea (although in truth their acting is quite terrible), but rather the script, which is packed with more tired cliches than I ever knew existed.
		With its splintered narrative and hardly a drop of blood, the film lingers instead on the dynamics of the classroom and the intensity of its young heroines.

	Sensors Magazine Online - March 1999 - Piezo Film Sensors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		When piezo film is operating in an electromechanical or motor mode, the film elongates and contracts as the polarity of the alternating field changes.
		The piezo film switch operates by developing a charge within the film and transferring it to the outer electrodes; a circuit is not completed from the closure of an electrical contact.
		A helpful design factor is to deform the film by stretching it in the length or "l" direction, thereby maximizing the stress (the force acts on the thin film's cross-section) and maximizing the output voltage.

	3rd WWWAVE: JAWS Conference 1999: Janis's Film Comments
		The film uses copious voiceovers over film shot by Krawitz before and after she was assaulted, as well as liberal contemporary footage of the "duck and cover" variety, instructing schoolkids not to talk to strangers, and how to avoid being in harm's way.
		It's also worth stating that, during the film, the comment is made that for years, the Japanese-Americans said nothing about what they endured because by the war's end, the term "concentration camp" had become something so utterly horrific that they felt that their own grievances were too petty to bother mentioning.
		I hope that that came through sufficiently in the film -- that what was evidently her mother's discomfort was not merely the guilt of a white person confronting the realities of racism, but the guilt of a mother who could not protect her daughter from the ugly world.

	National Film Registry, 1999
		The list is designed to reflect the full breadth and diversity of America's film heritage, thus increasing public awareness of the richness of American cinema and the need for its preservation.
		Fifty percent of the films produced before 1950 and at least 90 percent made before 1920 have disappeared forever.
		And, ominously, more films are lost each year -- through the ravages of nitrate deterioration, color-fading and the recently discovered 'vinegar syndrome,' which threatens the acetate-based (safety) film stock on which the vast majority of motion pictures, past and present, have been preserved," said Dr. Billington.

	Inside Film Online - 1999 Sundance Film Festival
		At a press conference for the film the next morning, Altman acknowledged that he and the film were selected for Sundance to draw media and public attention which could then be channeled to the lesser-known and unknown filmmakers at the fest.
		Although Altman is a strong supporter of Sundance and of film festivals in general ("they are probably the most important thing keeping this creative art together"), he doesn't approve of competitions at film festivals and therefore turns down all requests to serve on festival juries.
		It was also the first foreign language film to win either of those prizes and the first American film to be shot in Vietnam since the war.

	1999 Sundance Film Festival Update #2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The version shown at Sundance is not a final cut (Morris indicated that he's still tinkering with the editing of certain sequences), but, even judging by this unpolished version, it's a masterful character study that raises dozens of questions about morality, scientific process, and human nature.
		Morris peppers the film with moments of wry humor, and the project as a whole is steeped in irony, but the most remarkable quality of Mr.
		The film has a suitably creepy beginning as it introduces the main character, Captain John Boyd (L.A Confidential's Guy Pearce), a hero of the Mexican-American War who has been dispatched to the remote western outpost of Fort Spencer (no, it's not Dances with Wolves).

	Film 1 (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This is the film debut of Willem Wallyn, a lawyer turned film maker and son of one of those indicted and subsequently convicted in the Agusta (helicopter) corruption trial which brought down among others Willy Claes, former secretary-general of NATO.
		The film centers around the son, Willem Wallyn, an ambitious young lawyer tormented by the media coverage of the corruption scandal involving his father.
		The film is flawed in many other ways, as one one expect in a debut, particularly from someone who went to law instead of film school.

	1999 Sundance Film Festival Update #6 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Virtually everyone attending agreed that this year's crop of films, especially those in the dramatic competition, were weaker than last year's, and the 1998 group was no great shakes, either.
		The hottest films of the 1999 edition of the festival were (in order of difficulty to gain admission): Sex: The Annabel Chong Story, American Pimp, Three Seasons, Happy, Texas, and Go.
		The film is thoroughly engaging in the way it plays the various characters off against one another without "dumbing down" anyone - all the protagonists are smart, which makes watching this movie more like observing a high-energy chess match than a series of mindless gunfights and chases.

	October 1999's Film Reviews
		The growing number of short film festivals around the world attest to the vitality of these works, but there are few other venues for exhibition of them or even written reviews.
		In the film, a woman seeks the enemy general, with deadly results from their sexual affair.
		The overall effect of the film can be described as chilling, as erotic imagery filling the end of the film is `climaxed' by a bloody victory of sorts.

		Filmed in 1964, at the beginning of their superstardom, the group was still getting used to their new found status as teen idols, constantly hounded by young girls.
		The film was shot in the tiny Cape Verdean city of Mindelo, off the coast of West Africa, and unfolds against breathtaking mountains, desert terrain, endless beaches, and extraordinary light, colors and contrasts.
		The film's personal and evocative style chronicle's Martha's search to make sense of the tragedy, the family secrets, and the rumors that the murder was "gay-related." She goes back to interview old family friends, colleagues of her father, her mother and brother — and gradually reconstructs a life that for many years remained unfamiliar.

	Toy Story 2 (1999): PopMatters Film Review
		The voice actors had to do their jobs effectively (and they all do here), but they are not so crucial to the film's success as the fully fleshed out animated bodies on screen, created by many sleep-deprived young men and women sitting in front of their computers for days and days.
		There is a scene early in the film when we witness the toys' owner, Andy, playing with his toys, making different voices for them and envisioning an adventure scenario.
		The entire film is, finally, about a boy sitting in his room, imagining personalities and voices for his toys and pretending that each day will end happily, with or without a Randy Newman song.

	1999 Sundance Film Festival
		There are so many Hollywood studio executives and agents here and so much media coverage that I can't see how it could go any more commercial than it already is. I mean, many of the films here have already been bought by studios some were even bought before the festival began.
		The prestige attached to it is surpassed only by the Cannes Film Festival.
		I think because it emerged as the first U.S. film festival that it maintains its authoritative position - plus, it's got the backing of very well-connected and powerful people.

		Mamet's habit of introducing strategic stiffness into the delivery of dialogue to underscore the unreliability of language invests the movie with a lumbering, wooden quality that is distracting rather than illuminating.
		Time was when the Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci made smart, gorgeous films (The Spider's Stratagem, The Conformist) that explored the thick web of messy relations in the compromised marriage of politics and sex.
		Sadly, his recent films (Little Buddha and Stealing Beauty) have gone soft with a daffy "spirituality" that renders their visual poetry banal.

	1999 Retroactive @ The Film Experience

		The two performances that this category can't be without in 1999 are Kevin Spacey whose star-making turn in American Beauty was perhaps so unimprovable he had to swandive thereafter and Jim Broadbent's magnificent portrayal of WS Gilbert in Topsy Turvy.
		1999 may have been a weak year for lead actresses but the women were busting out big time in the supporting ranks with marvelously funny, biting, and intense work.
