	The Big Picture (1989)
		All of the student films are supposed to be bad, but only her quirky Afterbirth of a Nation actually nails its target.
		The Big Picture appears in both an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 and in a fullscreen version on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Fans of The Big Picture will probably feel pleased with this DVD, but although I like a lot of its participants, the movie does nothing for me. That means I can’t recommend it to anyone who doesn’t already like it.

		It has been three years since pictures of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq exposed the public to what turn out to be one of the defining moments of the conflict.
		Pictures are not only easier to produce, but with the Internet they are also easier to share.
		Pictures have been used for political propaganda since the invention of the halftone printing process in the 1880s.

		At the center of the film, giving its key performance, is Muehe, whose face rarely betrays his thoughts, except to us, as he falls in love with the people on whom he spies.
		In the end, von Donnersmarck, whose film is one of this year's five foreign-language Oscar nominees, succeeds in evoking both a vanished world and the people trapped in it.

	Filmtracks: Big (Howard Shore)
		Never expected to be a hit success, Big was the kind of lovable film that grew out of word of month until it stormed through the awards season of 1988-1989, with a wealth of praise spread around to the entire production team.
		The highlight of the film --and arguably a classic scene in the history of cinema-- is the "Toy Store Walking Piano" dance that playfully adapts "Heart and Soul" from the perspective of a child in a grown man's body.
		While some of the magic transfers over from the film onto the album, don't expect to be blown away by it.

		Although Big Picture shows all of its art-house movies in 35-millimeter film nowadays, Stern is hoping that Hollywood will soon go all-digital so he can put his projector into action full time.

		According to a catalog of Big Picture episodes in the National Archives, the last release was TV 823, "Drill Sergeant," released in 1971: "Focuses on one Army drill sergeant as he goes about his daily duties of shaping and molding young civilians into soldiers," color, 28 minutes.

		In his 20-year film career (which roughly corresponds to his marriage to the actress Amy Madigan) Harris has played a handful of real-life figures, among them Glenn, Kranz, Hunt and Charlie Dick, the psychotically jealous husband of singer Patsy Kline in Sweet Dreams.
		The film deals with the last 15 years of Pollock's life: his meeting with Lee Krasner in Greenwich Village in the 1940s, his breakthrough in the art world and fame as an artist, to his death, aged just 44, in 1956.
		Although the long gestation of the film was largely down to getting the script right, Harris put the delay to good use, engaging head on with the most problematic aspect of all artist biopics - the representation on screen of the act of painting.

		This was a film shot with a bunch of high school kids on archaic 16-millimetre film, that square ratio that immediately recalls school audio-visual rooms.
		This was not the kind of film that should crown the most important film festival in the world.
		Elephant is about a big subject, certainly: it is an account of a high school massacre carried out by a couple of ordinary suburban boys with an arsenal of weapons and a terrifying death wish.

	The Big Lebowski
		The walls and ceiling of Big Lebowski are something else altogether, and it wasn't until almost the last scene of the film that what the Coens were getting at hit me. But, hit me it did, like a bowling ball in the solar plexus, and everything that came before suddenly made perfect sense.
		But bowling as a unifying device in the film is an intentional artifact of the 1950's, the fun for the whole family entertainment that has changed very little.
		The upshot of his silence is one of the more hilarious mistakes in the film, and a perfect metaphor for what did happen to the children of the 90's.

	The Last Picture Show (1971)
		The episodic, bleak and mournful film was shot on location over an eleven-week period in northwestern Texas in a dusty, wind-swept, one-horse, declining small-town that was on the verge of being forgotten in the early 1950s.
		The name of the town in the film, Anarene, located 8 miles South of Archer City, was chosen to provide correspondence to the cow-town of Abilene in Hawks' Red River (1948).
		After a stark white-on-fl title, the opening shot, symmetrical to the film's closing shot, there is a pan from right to left down the empty main street of the deserted, desolate, wind-blown, dust-bowl town of Anarene.

	The Big Picture (1989): Kevin Bacon, Emily Longstreth, J.T. Walsh - PopMatters Film Review
		The film opens at a student film award ceremony, where Nick Chapman (Kevin Bacon) takes home the coveted prize and is immediately signed by a high-strung agent, Neil Sussman (Martin Short, who is hilarious), and lands a deal with a sleazy studio head, Allen Habel (J.T. Walsh).
		Ironically, the film's treatment of their romance seems as superficial as the premise of the film Nick is trying to get made.
		When the film was completed, Guest had his one and only meeting with Steel, who opened the meeting by saying, "I talked to all of his friends and they all hate the movie." Like Nick, Guest, feeling like a third grader being told nobody likes you, simply sat there in silence.

		Kodak, the godfather of American motion picture film, recently introduced a new emulsion-Vision2-that claims to make "a quantum leap forward" in film quality for both optical imaging and digital post production.
		The sports organization is the largest user of 16mm film in the U.S. Missing from the rhetoric of the film vs. video competition this time around are any claims that one medium will soon displace the other.

	Big Picture - Fast Faqs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The films shown at The Big Picture are on 8/70 film – 70mm wide with 8 perforations per frame.
		The significantly larger image area of 70mm film allows the images to be projected onto a considerably larger screen while maintaining a superior level of detail, color and clarity that is unsurpassed by traditional 35mm film.
		This is why these films and the theaters they are shown in are often referred to as “giant screen” films or “giant screen” theaters.

		The very first time I read the story, as I was picturing the scenes in my head, the school he was describing really was similar to the school I went to.
		I think that the still certainly prepared me for working with film because as a still photographer you are sort of forced to tell as story in one frame.

		If the first film, Alien, introduces the idea of body horror, of the boundaries of the body under threat, the second, Aliens, is a Vietnam war film with high tech guns aiding marines on a rescue mission.
		What the film turns on is the growing realisation amongst these men that they have no choice but to fight for their very existence because, along with Ripley, who carries an alien foetus inside her, an alien has also landed on the planet.
		Some of the prisoners seek to blame Ripley for unwittingly bringing the monster with her but she is defended by the leader of the group who sees her as much a victim as the rest of them and unites with her to try and destroy it.

		This weekend American Film Renaissance, run by Jim and Ellen Hubbard, is doing a Conservative film festival at the Mann 6 Theaters in Hollywood.
		Produced by Patricia Heaton, and Directed by David Hunt (Heaton's husband), the film was inspired by their friend, actress Sarah Rush, who at 16 had been named the Coal Queen of Carmichael, Pennsylvania, in an annual town event.
		Hunt builds his film around the selection of the newest Coal Queen, with sequences showing local coal mining -- the first time cameras had ever been permitted underground there to photograph the mining operation -- and the life of the town.

	In America + Big Fish
		Tim Burton, too, treads the territory of America as grand cinema in his best films, and Big Fish, while not among them, leads the director back to their territory, the modest fairy tales of grotesquerie of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, even the underestimated Batman Returns and Sleepy Hollow.
		Steeped in magic realism, Burton's picture loses steam in its constant switching from past to present, but gains in a treatment of grief and the grieving that announces a maturation of the sad moods of the director at his finest.
		Big Fish is Burton's most handsome film by far, giving the manifestations of Edward's flights of fancy a pleasing rustic feeling while offering Alison Lohman and Jessica Lange (as the younger and elder incarnations of Edward's wife, Sandy) a light that elevates them soft into the lofty clime of immortal beloved.

		The premise of The Big Picture is simple and was somewhat famous at the time, back in the days of "high concept," though the film's sleek idea sort of got lost in the resulting picture.
		The Big Picture, released in 1989, is satire of a rather tepid nature in comparison to the later films.
		Still, taken on its own terms, The Big Picture is charming film and not without insight into some of the complexities of negotiating the reefs and shores of the movie biz.
