  Manchuria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the 1911 revolution in China, which resulted in the collapse of the Manchu's Qing empire, the name of the region where the Manchus originated, Manzhou or Manchuria, was replaced by "the Northeast" in official documents.
Japan replaced Russian influence in Inner Manchuria as a result of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904–1905, and Japan laid the South Manchurian Railway in 1906 to Port Arthur (Japanese: Ryojun).

 The Manchurian Candidate Movie Review at Hollywood Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Manchurian Global is one big, scary mother (scarier, even, than the ice-chewing Eleanor herself), but it isn't too far off from certain corporations that have been in the news, and the documentaries, recently.
To give away any of its laundry list of evildoings would be as criminal as most of their acts, but the scope and magnitude of their horrors is unnerving.
Marco's role is significantly increased from the 1962 version; in addition, he shares some of the culpability with Shaw, which he didn't in the original.

 Commentary: The Manchurian Mistake
In this year’s remake of the 1962 classic “The Manchurian Candidate,” audiences are being subjected to more than two hours of ideological demagoguery and grandiose conspiracy theory.
The satirical elements that were hallmarks of the original are absent, as director Jonathan Demme (“Philadelphia”) attempts to turn his remake into a serious and sustained critique of globalization, capitalism, and politics, playing on people’s worst fears along the way.
Both WARC and those behind the remake of “The Manchurian Candidate” buy into the theory that there are a handful of people somewhere (usually New York) who “control” the free market economy.

What he uncovers is Manchurian Global, a mega-conglomerate that controls the Government, the cash, the candidates, pays the piper and calls the tune.
Manchurian Global's tentacles are entwined, among other unsavory things, with experimentation in brainwashing and hypnotism, and they're not above playing a little messing-with-the-mind game called "implanting memories".
The "Manchurians" this time around are not Chinese Communists but a multi-national corporation, which actually makes the situation more realistic than the original (at least in terms of the villains).

 The Manchurian Crisis
The Japanese controlled the South Manchurian Railroad, had soldiers in place to patrol its tracks and had established a large community of business people on Chinese soil.
In September 1931, an explosion damaged a section of the South Manchurian Railroad track — an event sometimes labeled the Mukden Incident.
In October, the United States broke with recent policy and accepted an invitation from the League of Nations to sit with the Council in its deliberations on the evolving Manchurian crisis.

 The Manchurian Candidate - Richard Condon
The idea is that during the Korean War Raymond Shaw and ten other men on an Intelligence and Reconnaissance patrol were captured by the Chinese, brainwashed, and then released, convinced that Shaw had heroically saved them (save two, who didn't make it) after an (imaginary) engagement with the enemy.
Raymond's hatred of his mother, the driving force of the novel, is blinding in its heat -- and the psychology behind what motivates him that Condon offers is fascinating, but also unsettling.
It is this hatred, coupled with the similar threat of the very different sort of mind-control in the form of the brainwashing to which Shaw and his fellow soldiers are subjected, that make The Manchurian Candidate an enjoyably disturbing read.

 The Mediadrome - Reviews - The Manchurian Candidate
Time is running out before the presidential election, and Marco must race to uncover the truth before the White House is under “their” control.
The remake of “The Manchurian Candidate” was never meant to replace the original classic, but it sure succeeds as an entertaining and equally effective companion piece to it.
It is a powerful, shocking, gripping thriller that will stay with you long after the house lights come up, but it is also filled with so much information and complexity that you might want to see it a second time.

 MONOGRAPH 144-CHAPTER I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Between 1928 and the outbreak of the Manchurian Incident, there occurred more than 120 cases of infringement of rights and interests, interference with business, boycott of Japanese goods, unreasonable taxation, detention of individuals, confiscation of properties, eviction, demand for cessation of business, assault and battery, and the oppression of Korean residents.
Thus, when speaking of the true causes of the Manchurian Incident, one cannot simply ascribe it to an expansionist policy on the part of Japan.
Since a description of the Manchurian Incident is given to clarify its significance as a cause of the Pacific War, a chronological table of events is set forth below instead of a detailed description of the Incident itself.

 The Manchurian Candidate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manchurian Candidate is a 1959 thriller novel written by Richard Condon, later adapted into films in 1962 and 2004.
The central concept of the book and the subsequent 1962 film is that the son of a prominent political family has been brainwashed into becoming an unwilling assassin for the Communist Party; in the 2004 version, the villain was instead a giant corporation called "Manchurian Global".
Mercader, who had been raised by his mother to be a T Soviet agent and assassin, was visiting in Trotsky's home as sleeper agent 1 when he killed him with an ice axe in the skull.

 SoundtrackNet : The Manchurian Candidate Soundtrack
This was a case of a remake no one initially asked for or thought necessary, yet the 2004 version of The Manchurian Candidate, directed by Jonathan Demme, proved a surprise to both critics and audiences who found it quite competent and laudable.
There were enough deviations in the story to keep it fresh for those who had seen the original 1962 film and it successfully engaged other viewers as a new thriller about corporate corruption and brainwashed soldiers.
The upbeat tone continues into "Slightly Manchurian Blues", a swinging number for jazz combo, brass and sax, a winning track.

 Ross Institute - Building the Manchurian Candidate
The Manchurian Candidate is an experimentally created multiple personality, now classified by the American Psychiatric Association (1994) as dissociative identity disorder.
The reality of the Manchurian Candidate is compelling evidence for the reality of iatrogenic dissociative identity disorder; if the condition has been created deliberately by mind control doctors, then it can be created unwittingly by therapies which mimic the conditions and techniques of mind control.
Experiments to create Manchurian Candidate "super spies" must be understood in their social and historical context, which is one of pervasive, systematic mind control experimentation, not by a few isolated renegade doctors, but by the leaders of psychiatry and the major medical schools.

 Manchurian Candidate, The (2004): Reviews
What this Manchurian Candidate for a new generation makes up for in timing, it lacks in discipline and edge.
Demme’s Manchurian Candidate is far from a disgrace, but it's not freewheeling enough, not strange enough to make sense of our gathering dread.
Overall, Manchurian Candidate is an interesting political thriller and is competently filmed, but lacks the emotional connectedness required to call it "memorable." Draws many parallels to actual events and subterfuge in current geopolitics and the enormous power wielded by many corporations (Halliburton, Enron?).

 The Manchurian Candidate - Greil Marcus
The Manchurian Candidate, John Frankenheimer's 1962 film version of Richard Condon's 1959 novel, is now considered a classic.
It wasn't always so (though the ominous idea behind it certainly caught on from the beginning) -- in large part because it was withdrawn relatively soon after its release (and the Kennedy assassination).
It's tough to make this sort of observation compelling, and Marcus doesn't; for those interested in the film (the intended audience for this book, one would imagine) it also seems irrelevant.

Directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep (in the Sinatra and Lansbury roles, respectively), it has certainly star-power.

 The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
The Manchurian Candidate (1962) is director-producer John Frankenheimer's prophetically tragic, chilling, brilliant, flish (film-noirish) Cold War thriller about brain-washing, conspiracy, the dangers of international Communism, McCarthyism, assassination, and political intrigue.
Forty-two years later, this classic original was remade in 2004 by director Jonathan Demme (and co-producer Tina Sinatra) as an action-thriller (tagline: "Everything is under control").
The script for this new version, by Daniel Pyne and Dean Georgaris, substituted capitalists (an enigmatic, big-business, multi-national corporation called Manchurian Global, represented, according to Demme, by the giant 21st century companies of Halliburton, Bechtel or the Carlyle Group) as the villains.

In the movie, "The Manchurian Candidate," actor Lawrence Harvey portrayed the character of a former POW and war hero of the Korean War, whose brainwashing by his communist captors resulted in his enemies being able to manipulate his actions.
To trigger him to do their bidding all they had to do was have him play solitaire with the Queen of Diamonds being the trigger that made him theirs, body and soul.
The communist definitely had a sophisticated system of "turning" U.S. prisoners of war in Korea and, ironically, the movie, "The Manchurian Candidate," fiction that it may be, was not a misrepresentation of the creative experiments and attempts by the communists to "turn" American prisoners of war into agents.
