	High-frequency thick-film semiconductor circuit - Patent 5161000
		In these figures, a conductive film 2 for input, a conductive film 3 for output, and a conductive film 4 for grounding are formed by metallization of an insulating substrate 1 which is formed of a ceramic material, such as alumina.
		a first conductive grounding bridge including two legs, each leg being disposed on one of said at least two conductive grounding films, and a bridging portion joining the legs and spaced from the first surface;
		A second conductive grounding bridge 14 having a bridging portion 14a and legs 14b and 14c is disposed on the conductive grounding film 4 covering the heat-radiating plate 9A, and the MOS capacitive element 10 is mounted on this second conductive grounding bridge 14 by brazing or the like.

	Great Chinese Film Invasion 1/2 Asian American Features GOLDSEA
		The historical grounding doesn't inhibit the fantastic fight scenes expected of a wuxia film.
		The film has the potential to win millions of new fans for the rubber-faced Stephen Chow who, besides starring in it, produced, co-wrote and co-directed.
		The loopy, cartoonlike action sequences are every bit as entertaining as those in any wuxia film -- with an added exaggeration factor that slyly holds the genre up for laughs even while milking its crowd-pleasing appeal.

	Wesley Britton, The Indispensables: The Best 25 Spy Films of All Time
		Filmed in seven countries, including Hungary, Italy, and France, the attention to detail gave the film's series of settings a level of realism unneeded in other blockbusters where explosions and allegedly witty dialogue are the point.
		The film can be seen as suggesting a promise of healthy revolution in the Soviet Union, the peaceful co-existence between East and West, and a shift in Hollywood as a Russian is the dominant hero in the film.
		Spies in the Ryan mold were no longer loners out for sexual conquest but were now "Everymen" with responsibilities grounding their purposes and adventures.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - 54
		The film would have greater impact if its historical grounding was firmer.
		The biggest sham is the film’s denouement, which implies that Rubell’s eventual fall from grace inspired his followers to clean up and find straight jobs, the better to face the onset of the ’80s.
		Certainly, the makers of "54" are hoping you don’t remember those days all too clearly, as they serve up a period piece that plays fast and loose with a few important details.

	DVD Review:Director's Double Feature:El Mariachi/Desperado:Special Edition
		In "Desperado", although the story is supposed to be a fantasy tale, the visual style begins to feel excessive and rather than grounding the story in a gritty reality, the shots of bodies flying through the air starts to make the film feel quite cartoonish.
		The film was shot in 1.66:1, but the disc is letterboxed at 1.85:1, making for a few scenes where images look a little too cropped.
		"Desperado" brings Rodriguez's visual style to a seven million dollar budget and it doesn't quite work; in "Mariachi", the visual style helped to bring the film over the smallish holes in the plot and to bring the viewer further into the film.

	Bright Lights Film Journal Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo
		But the film disavows such forces by resolving the mystery with a rational explanation, grounding the story in the worldly realm where suspense more naturally results from the indeterminism of free will, as dramatized by Scottie's uncertain choices, rather than the possibility of some karmic comeuppance, irrelevant in its random nature.
		The 1958 film, currently in re-release, possesses a strange symmetry that raises the question of whether Hitchcock had ulterior, perhaps mischievous, motives to his direction.
		The remainder of the first half of the film is sustained by the mystery of Madeleine Elster's (Kim Novak) relationship to the long-departed Carlotta Valdez, and Scottie's falling in love with the seemingly haunted Madeleine.

	Decalogue "Spiritual"? - Arts and Faith
		Certainly, the films are based on a text that is equally ethical and theological, and I think echoes of both notions inform the series on a pretty deep level.
		Helps me differentiate between films that are merely heady philosophical enquiries (which I don't necessarily find to have anything particularly spiritual about them) and films that are engaging with philosophical issues that somehow seem intimately bound up with Christian faith, religion, spirituality, whatever it's being called at the moment.
		The watcher character is a conspicuously mystical oddity in the films that may not be developed to a complex level, but certainly suggests some kind of presence aware of the human plight.

	Millennium Actress (2003): Miyoko Shôji, Mami Koyama, Fumiko Orikasa - PopMatters Film Review
		But as participants with their own memories of her films, they help to construct the story, grounding it in the reality of a shared experience: film serves as a kind of communal memory.
		Now available on a DVD from DreamWorks, the film comprises the memoir of fictional Japanese movie star Chiyoko Fujiwara (voiced by Miyoko Shoji in her 70s, Mami Koyama in her 30s and 40s, and Fumiko Orikasa in her youth), as she speaks to a documentary filmmaker and his cameraman.
		Unlike most of the anime films popular in the States, there are no giant robots, tentacle rapes, or morphing mutant blobs.

	indielondon.co.uk - film - Hidalgo, review
		Yet, for all of its failings, and dubious grounding in reality, the film does remain a hopelessly old-fashioned, feel-good story, which is bolstered by a typically charismatic star turn from Mortensen and a wily supporting performance from the veteran Omar Sharif.
		Yet the film also feels like a family version of The Last Samurai, given Hopkins’ self-loathing for helping to commit military atrocities, mixed with elements of Lawrence of Arabia, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Seabiscuit and Sinbad.

	pi - film review for zone-sf.com
		Though the film makes no effort to be populist or accessible, it is elevated above cult curiosity by its emotional impact and its grounding in familiar cinematic tropes and genres.
		The oppressive repetition of the film's second half: recurring sounds, images, music, combined with the protagonist's abrupt transformation into a Nosferatu lookalike contender, throws popular horror into the generic mix.
		Strategic and self-conscious use of black and white film contributes to the viewer's sense of Max's pain, isolation and paranoia.

		Since film courses were first offered at Wesleyan in the late 1960s, Film Studies has experienced remarkable growth, as reflected in the number of faculty participating in its work, the number of film majors, and the number of students seeking admission to Film Studies courses.
		Faculty in the Film Studies Department teach films from the vantage point of how they are made and received, asking students to analyze the industrial and technological conditions of a film’s production, the choices the filmmakers made, and the effects of these conditions and choices on our viewing experience.

	Battle of the Bulge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Indicative of the desperate circumstances under which the battle plan was finally approved was the intentional scheduling of the offensive just as the weather produced a massive warm front with heavy fog and low-lying clouds, effectively grounding the Allied air forces in the area for the first few days of the operation.
		Battleground is a 1949 film depicting the 101st Airborne's defense of Bastogne.
		A full length movie, Battle of the Bulge was made in 1965, starring Henry Fonda.

	Sin City
		"Film noir on steroids; a movie so cool you’re not supposed to be concerned about its total lack of moral grounding.
		Adapted from Frank Miller's graphic novels, SIN CITY is Robert Rodriguez's striking film noir infused with fantasy, taking place in a world where it is eternally nighttime and everything is drenched in rain and violence.
		"Sin City has more severed heads, dismemberments and acts of cannibalism than The Silence of the Lambs and Freddy vs. Jason put together.

	The Fly
		On the other hand, the 1958 version has much in its favor, including a surprisingly firm scientific grounding, a mostly well-executed murder mystery-like story structure, and a rare non-villain performance from Vincent Price that allows the world’s greatest over-actor to show that he could play it smooth when he really wanted to.
		When he and the fly were reconstituted in the second booth, Andre discovered that a rather serious mix-up had occurred: he and the fly had switched heads and left forelimbs.
		Philippe spots the fly in a spider’s web in the garden, leading up to a delightfully twisted sequence that has François and Charras staring in horror as the spider moves in for the kill, the human-headed fly squeaking for help over and over again until Charas crushes web, spider, and fly with a nearby rock.

	Seattle Weekly - film: The soul of cinema
		To the uninitiated, Bresson can seem maddeningly indifferent--his films eschew the kind of dramatic spikes and psychological grounding of his contemporaries.
		In the 1970s the aging Bresson turned his attentions to French youth in a series of films that are perhaps his least known: the rare Four Nights of a Dreamer (1971), the Arthurian drama Lancelot du Lac (1974), and the controversial The Devil Probably (1977).
		Only Bresson's direction can lead us to this place, where we find a state of grace amidst the pain of life and the acceptance of death.

	What is Phenomenology?
		This procedure involves suspending acceptance of the pregiven status of conscious life as something that exists in the world and is performed in order to secure an ultimate intersubjective grounding for the world and the positive sciences of it.
		While realistic and constitutive phenomenology arose and first flourished in Germany before and after World War I and existential phenomenology spread out from France after World War II, hermeneutical phenomenology appears to have been most actively pursued in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s.
		Phenomenologists tend to hold that inquiry ought to focus upon what might be called "encountering" as it is directed at objects and, correlatively, upon "objects as they are encountered" (this terminology is not widely shared, but the emphasis on a dual problematics and the reflective approach it requires is);

		Political films: do they reflect, distort or construct history (or do all three), and in what ways: e.g.

	Korean Movie Review Old Boy (2003) Chan-wook Park, Min-sik Choi, Ji-tae Yu
		This gives the film a gritty grounding in reality, and the emotional complexity of the script is both fascinating and entertaining.
		This is all you need to know, believe me. Although there is far more to "Oldboy" than its narrative, to watch the film forearmed with knowledge or clues to where the story is going would be to rob yourself of one of the most gut-wrenching denouements I have ever witnessed.
		This is not to suggest that "Oldboy" is a slow moving art house piece; far from it, as the film contains several well choreographed action scenes, including a long, violent fight sequence that is particularly exciting and original.
