		The film brings to the screen two main stories, which are unfolding simultaneously: On the one hand, a father and son trying to survive the turmoil of a country at war with itself, and on the other, the War of Independence and its ripple effects on America in the background.
		The difference between Mel's film and Pacino's is that Pacino's really is a work of art, a piece of great cinema, and the story of a father and his son and the revolution in this film is far more credible and enduring and profound.
		Revolution is for those who like great theatre and the acting and scripts that are part of that sort of entertainment and its flesh and blood and depth.

	FILM STUDIES 101
		Since none of the main proponents of these film theories were psychologists or clininal psychiatrists, they relied on structual linguistics and literary analysis to provide the concluding 'conversions' of hypothesis into fact.
		Film Studies 'doctrines of interpretation' were produced on campus, at conferences, liberally mixing poetics and stuructural linguistics with psychoanalysis, Freud with Lacan, Marx and all his revisionists, and producing a 'miraculous talking cure' analysis of ideology and culture for the viewer / student.
		In ideologically-driven film studies you get your 'permission' grade to continue, your degree to graduate, based on your adherence to a specious form of 'film theory' and 'film rhetoric'.

	Chapter 10 Page 4
		Exposed early to the model of the French Revolution, those espousing revolutionary change in China and Vietnam made the French Revolution of 1789 topical in a new part of the world.
		Outside the realm of politics, the allure of the Revolution remained important, not only for those who wished to comment on contemporary events but also for the innate drama and pathos of many revolutionary events.
		Even before the Revolution had ended, before the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, enterprising artists and printers had begun to publish collections of engravings that recounted the principal events of the French Revolution for subscribers.

	Film Music In Iranian Cinema
		There were quite a few composers to put their efforts in films, but because producers used to fail to appreciate the role of music in their films those composers could not work for cinema professionally.
		The relative recess of music after the Revolution urged the Iranian composers to turn their attention toward cinema and in order to survive, they naturally tried to adapt their works for the films in a practical manner.
		Iranian film musicians usually use a chronometer to pace the shots and match their music, a very accurate job on an editing machine.

		There were a few silent films based on such figures as George Washington, Betsy Ross and Paul Revere, and Griffith worked his way back from the Civil War to the Revolution with "America" in 1924.
		The Revolution probably had more in common with the Civil War, with a bit of Vietnam thrown in, although that's not the way it's been popularly portrayed.

		Unfortunately, the liberty women are bent on making it his fight, and Annie Lennox (yes, The Eurhythmics' Annie Lennox) screams at the top of her lungs until Tom has to give his boat to the cause.
		Revolution succeeds in showing that the Revolutionary War was won by people who were just trying to survive, but so does The Patriot, and that movie comes with both color and sound—a bonus in any movie.

		It caused such a furore that one of the older film critics even declared that since there was no common film language any more he would prefer to opt out for good.
		Unfortunately the film was too serious for ordinary filmgoers to appreciate; they do not want to think, to tax their minds in the cinema, they just want entertainment.
		Although the film proves his talents as a director and a master of movement, especially in the sedan scene, the second half of the film is obviously a compromise.

	Marginal Revolution: Film Archives
		I liked the special effects, of course, but on the whole the film [a Schwarznegger movie] bored me. Like many of these American films, it had one good idea and clung to it so hard that it seemed poor in emotion and range.
		The film also has a first-rate sense of humor, which is increasingly rare in Hollywood today.
		That seems to imply that fantasy films cannot operate under the game-theoretic assumption of "common knowledge." People must disagree about the true model governing the world, otherwise greater faith yields no relative advantage.

	BMN Review: Revolution (1985/I)
		Don't get me wrong, for a film that depicts the American Revolution there is little to no revolution going on.
		"Revolution" feels that the most important focus of this time in history is a lackluster "Gone With the Wind"-esque romance.
		All of the costumes are of varying shades of beige and tan, the buildings are covered with soot and grime, every scene is filled with billowing clouds of smoke and dust, the sky is always overcast and it rains a lot.

		Janus Films was a renowned and singular force in American art house film distribution in 1979, the year I started to work at the New York City based company.
		The twenty-five years from 1960 to 1985 were indeed a golden age of art house film in America.
		At the same time, iconic landmarks of New York film culture were vanishing: the Elgin Theater had closed by 1980, and the struggle to save, then relocate, Upper Broadway's Regency Theater had begun, only to fail, and similar fates awaited the revered Bleeker Street Cinema and the Carnegie Hall Cinema.

		The film uses the characters and murder mystery premise of the boardgame as the basis for a quickfire farce.
		The film's chief flaw is its almost total lack of exposition; the audience is presented with a barrage of admittedly fascinating sounds and images, but unless they have read the book few of those sounds and images will make the slightest bit of sense to them.
		The work is studied by, and has been the subject of criticism from both film and theatre scholars, with the former tending to study the film as shot, the latter tending to study the script as written.
