Journal of Religion and Film:  Rosetta Stone: A Consideration of the Dardenne Brothers' Rosetta by Bert Cardullo The preview promoting the film’s theatrical release announced that he was selected after a lengthy search “for the humility and devotion which he brought to the role.” Hunter’s Jesus is a quite human teacher of religious wisdom. The film’s visual composition draws on the history of religious painting and its narrative and form comment on the style and limits of the Jesus films that came before it. The Ray film should not to be confused with the 1927 silent, The King of Kings, by Cecil B. DeMille. www.unomaha.edu /jrf/celluloid.htm   (5281 words)

How Antonijevic deals with tragic stories In his new film, "Savior," a hardened mercenary's lowest point occurs when he doesn't think twice about shooting a young boy who is chasing a goat. As "Savior" and his past endeavors can attest to, Antonijevic is a man who believes in sustaining his artistic integrity and delivering a clear message to his audience. Part of "Savior's" purpose is to humanize the fl and white picture of ethnic cleansing that was depicted by the American media; yet, Antonijevic also chooses to zero in on something more universal. www.usc.edu /student-affairs/dt/V135/N56/02-how.56d.html   (720 words)

Film on Four Film On Four is often considered to be particularly significant within film culture for providing vital financial support and for commissioning many films which have gained high regard. Film On Four's only early success in the cinema was Peter Greenaway's The Draughtsman's Contract (1982), and although the series had been established to encourage new ideas, in the early years the media argued that most of its products brought little that was innovative to television. Film On Four's successful output began to multiply with films such as A Room With A View (1985), Hope And Glory (1987), Wish You Were Here (1987) and A World Apart (1987) doing well at both the domestic and international box office. www.museum.tv /archives/etv/F/htmlF/filmonfour/filmonfour.htm   (871 words)

Journal of Religion & Film: Faith and the Absent Savior in Central Station by Donna Bowman The film depicts a world in which the characters must stake their lives on Jesus’ return, a world in which his expected, imminent presence dominates and defines reality. On the level at which most viewers encountered it, the film is the story of how a motherless boy opens the heart of a crusty spinster as the two journey in search of the boy’s father. Recent films that signal the viewer in this direction are The Green Mile, in which an innocent man with healing power goes willingly to his death, and The Iron Giant, a children’s film in which a robot built as a war machine decides to risk its own destruction to save human beings. avalon.unomaha.edu /jrf/centstat.htm   (2749 words)

'Savior': In the Butchery of Bosnia, a Killer Becomes a Humanitarian In one scene, a woman in her final weeks of pregnancy is thrown to the ground and repeatedly kicked in the stomach by a sadistic young soldier. "Savior" is the story of two people who have been dehumanized by war reaffirming the basic human connections without which civilization couldn't continue. Rating: "Savior" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). partners.nytimes.com /library/film/112598savior-film-review.html   (756 words)

IMDb user comments for Savior (1998)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) Overall this is not a fun film to rent on Friday night but a bleak anti-war film that will leave you in no doubt that the conflict in Bosnia (and perhaps everywhere else) is of no value when compared to the enormous cost in terms of human life and suffering. Inevitably, some have accused Savior of bias; though an American film, the director is a Serb, and it was filmed on location in Montenegro; with such emotive subject matter partiality would hardly be surprising. Those who accuse this film of being pro-Serb, however, should consider that one of the most hateful caracters in the whole film, whom we witness carrying out pointlessly vicious acts of cruelty and mysogyny, and who happily admits to being a serial rapist, is himself a Serb. imdb.com /title/tt0120070/usercomments   (2612 words)

'Savior' tells a poignant story of Yugoslav conflict Director Predrag Antonijevic creates a film that moves into something more formidable than the "inspired by a true story" war films to which we are accustomed. Perhaps even more disturbing than the film is the fact that all of the events that take place are nonfictional. As Quaid said of the film, "It stares its subject matter in the face and doesn't blink." "Savior" provides a story and an image that cuts through our ivory tower academia, and provides a message we can return to time and again to restore our humanity. www.usc.edu /student-affairs/dt/V135/N54/03-savior.54d.html   (720 words)

SAVIOR SECT - Miscellaneous   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) Savior Sect is a goth-punk band whose inception happened in the summertime, not in the autumn or winter. Originally I wanted to be ironic with the "savior" part sounding benign and helpful and with the music actually being dark and depressing…I think for the band it's become a sort of name to live up to as far as musical improvement is concerned. It is almost as if Savior Sect has come full circle, but now we possess much more professionalism and we have honed our craft through the fires of trial and error. maxpages.com /aeazine2/SAVIOR_SECT - !http://www.maxpages.com/aeazine2/SAVIOR_SECT   (2184 words)

Savior   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) As for the film itself, it is somewhat of a pleasure to sit down and watch a film that is so obviously not out of the Hollywood system. As you would expect from a relatively recent film, there were few film artefacts, and those that were present were not a distraction to the film. For such a recent film, this is an interesting throwback to the advertising style of the sixties and earlier. www.michaeldvd.com.au /Reviews/Savior.asp   (2012 words)

Christ's Passion This film tells the story of Jesus in a compelling manner that exposes the viewer not only to the haunting images of His suffering and death, but also to the discovery of His teachings through some of the flashbacks to earlier scenes in His life. In the film and in the New Testament (Matthew 27:11-26; Mark 15:2-15; Luke 23:1-25; John 18:28-40), Pilate is caught in a precarious and pivotal role between the power of Rome and the power of the Jewish religious leadership in Palestine. The film paints a complex portrait of Jesus as reflected in the New Testament. rbc.gospelcom.net /thepassion/questions/q16-20.html   (1581 words)

A FEARLESS DIALOGUE OF FAITH AND CULTURE: SAVIOR ON THE SILVER SCREEN Savior on the Silver Screen is not only well written, it's filled with the kind of enthusiasm for cinema that is rarely articulated by people of faith: awe, wonder and respect for the medium. Savior on the Silver Screen is a multi-purpose and interdisciplinary course in film, theology, Scripture, ecclesiology, and the arts for mindful filmgoers. For example, as a film and media studies teacher, the first thing I looked for after reading the presentation pages was to flip to the back for the index, a most helpful feature for books such as this. www.daughtersofstpaul.com /mediastudies/reviews/filmfearless.html   (1202 words)

Savior Movie Review by Anthony Leong It is here that the film shifts into road-movie mode, with Guy driving across the Bosnian countryside in the hope of finding Vera and her child a new home-- a journey that will help Guy rediscover the humanity and compassion that have been long-buried by deep-seated hatred. The film's simple-yet-powerful approach is further supported with strong performances given by Quaid and Ninkovic, performances that arguably carry the film. Overall, "Savior" is an inspiring film of redemption in a most unlikely part of the world. www.mediacircus.net /savior.html   (1265 words)

Cinema Veritas: Film Industry Archives There is a measure of irony that a film based on the work of C.S. Lewis, who once observed that he wished Disney "did not combine so much vulgarity with his genius," is now being touted as a savior of the house that Walt built. Tentpole films are the types of films people are likely to go out to the theater to see; the smaller films are probably far better geared for the home market at this point. But the need for more of those sort of films to get people to move from the couch to the theater seat isn't the same thing as saying that the film product was "bad." It means that to maximize the big screen, you're going to need more "big screen" movies (and yes, good ones). movies.worldmagblog.com /movies/archives/cat_film_industry.html   (3498 words)

Amazon.com: Savior (1998) (1998) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) Filmed in Montenegro and based on true accounts of the early '90s ethnic clashes between Serbia and neighboring states, Savior is a harrowing triumph for Serbian director Pedrag Peter Antonijevic and actor Dennis Quaid. The real message of this film is not that Serbs are good and their opponents are bad; rather, it is that the Balkan conflict wasn't the simplistic bad, evil Serbs versus the poor, innocent Bosnian Muslims and Croats conflict that was portrayed in the Western news media. The film is historically accurate in the sense that it makes clear that all sides, not just the Serbs, were guilty of war crimes against civilians. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0767816757?v=glance   (1736 words)

Film History of the 1970s His next film, his first commercial film, was a AIP-Roger Corman-produced, character-driven exploitation film Boxcar Bertha (1972) designed to cash in on the Bonnie and Clyde (1967) crime film craze (and similar to Corman's own Bloody Mama (1970)), with Barbara Hershey cast as an itinerant, orphaned train robber in a Depression-era South. The film's soundtrack was largely composed of classic rock music, and used the San Gennaro festival in New York as its backdrop. The film's realism and dark presentation of child prostitution and the seedy underworld, exemplified in Robert De Niro's characterization of Travis Bickle ("You talkin' to me?"), was as startling as Marlon Brando's performance as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) two and a half decades earlier. www.filmsite.org /70sintro2.html   (1394 words)

Screen Savior - Charisma Magazine The story of how this film made it to the screen is almost as interesting as the film itself. The film stays true to the biblical account, taking some liberty only with the inclusion of a mesmeric Satan character (Rosalinda Celentano) who continually shows up to torment Jesus and Judas and to approve of the frenzied crowd calling for Jesus' crucifixion. In this film, our last vision of Peter is of him ashamed and broken, and our final image of Mary Magdalene is of her tear-stained and facedown in the dirt. www.charismamag.com /a.php?ArticleID=8570   (1321 words)

Jesus' Savior - Daily Nexus Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) It took only moments for me to become lost, begging the filmmakers to explain why Jesus was hysterically shaking and sweating in some garden while an androgynous albino meant to be the devil (judging by the maggots crawling from nostril to nostril) berated him with questions. Of course, I knew the basics: Jesus is sentenced to crucifixion, carries his cross up to a hill, is crucified, dies on the cross and rises from the dead a few days later. By the film's end, my knuckles were white and my ears raw from the bawling of theatergoers seated around me. I had wanted to feel the intensity of this film in some small way, and felt more left out than I had 2 1/2 hours previous. www.ucsbdailynexus.com /print_article.php?a=6972   (688 words)

Sleeper (1973) Filled with one-liners, Allen's film both satirizes the 1970's and parodies sci-fi books and past classics, such as Buck Rogers "Serial" (1939), Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and A Clockwork Orange (1971), George Lucas' THX 1138 (1971), George Orwell's futuristic novel 1984, and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. With knowledge of important historical information, he disguises himself as a domestic robot to prevent capture, but is still pursued in a number of slapstick scenes, outwitting the cops, giant computers, robots, and "the Leader" of the totalitarian society. One sly cameo is that of Douglas Rain as an evil computer near the end of the film, gently spoofing his role as HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Mike Myers' Austin Powers series owes a debt to this film. www.filmsite.org /slee.html   (493 words)

On the Screen: Jeannette Jehanne Jeanne Joan - Shepherdess Soldier Savior Saint   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) The film was strongly influenced by France's recent struggles; the subtitles stress patriotic themes, and the director had the cooperation of the government in the filming. The lushest of the recent films is The Messenger, which combines spectacular and bloody battle scenes with a prolonged self-examination of Joan's psychological status during her captivity. The film was praised for cinematography and acting, but many critics found it inconsistent and self-indulgent. www.brynmawr.edu /library/exhibits/jehanne/screen.html   (435 words)

Star of 2000, Jesus Page: One Icon Terry Lindvall, who taught film courses at Regent University in Virginia Beach, Va., for 15 years before becoming the school's president, agrees that the TV room has overtaken the church pew in many ways. Because each biblical film embodies the director's personal faith, viewers who rely solely on movies to learn about the life of Jesus miss the benefits that come from reading the Gospels directly, Lindvall said. Despite an all star cast, this film is criticized as being one of the least faithful to the Gospels. www.jaygary.com /starof2000/jesus/film.htm   (1276 words)

JESUS Film Team All of the events in the film were shot on location where the actual events were believed to have occured. Based on their film team reports over the past three years, on average, one person indicates a decision to accept Jesus as his or her personal Savior for every $3 given to support the film teams who bring the film to these people. We won't have a specific film team assigned to us until we are close to raising the $15,000 needed, so the initial monies raised will go to The JESUS Film Partnership to help other film teams as needed. www.thegoodbookcompany.com /jesusfilmteam   (1416 words)

FILM DIALOGUE: Fight Club -- Mischief, Mayhem, Soap I was surprised by the amount of humor, which made the two-hour, twenty-minute film fly by. However, a few minor aspects of the film were a disappointment, such as the not-so-subtle speeches by Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) that told the audience exactly what point the movie was trying to make. There are many messages in the film that are conveyed with more subtlety, and these are the points the viewer will ponder long after the film is over. www-tech.mit.edu /V119/N52/Fight_Club_copy.52a.html   (945 words)
