	TIMEasia.com \| Devils on His Doorstep \| 7/24/2000
		Devils on the Doorstep is Jiang's scalding tragicomedy set in a Chinese village during the wartime occupation by the Japanese.
		The film is both outraged and amused at the carnage (several brutal deaths of the innocent and weak) the soldiers wreak on civilians; it has a God's-eye view, a kind of humanist misanthropy, of the disasters of war.
		The Film Bureau in Beijing is slated to be dismantled as the state bureaucracy is streamlined; some film people believe that, by stoking this controversy, the censors are trying to make themselves appear indispensible.

	Devil’s Playground (Philosophical Films)
		SYNOPSIS: Devil’s Playground is a documentary film by Lucy Walker which explores the Amish adolescent rite of passage called “rumspringa” (pronounced ROOM-shpring-a).
		A caption in the film states the following: “Believing that education leads to pride, the Amish require their children to drop out after 8th grade and begin working.” The formal education they do receive is from one-room Amish schoolhouses.
		Devil’s Playground was an extremely eye-opening film that was nothing short of "Amish gone wild." The film’s chief value is anthropological as it informs the audience about the Old Order Amish culture and lifestyle.

	Film History of the 1920s
		Films really blossomed in the 1920s, expanding upon the foundations of film from earlier years.
		Films varied from sexy melodramas and biblical epics by Cecil B. DeMille, to westerns (such as Cruze's The Covered Wagon (1923)), horror films, gangster/crime films, war films, the first feature documentary or non-fictional narrative film (Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North (1922)), romances, mysteries, and comedies (from the silent comic masters Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd).
		Film theaters and studios were not initially affected in this decade by the Crash in late 1929.

	Devils Tower
		Devils Tower, in northeastern Wyoming near the Black Hills of South Dakota, has been a location of spiritual significance for the Lakota people throughout their history.
		For the Lakota, and other tribes of the northern plains, the solitude and silence they need for their ceremonies and prayers are disturbed by the presence of rock climbers seeking personal adventure.
		The Park Service should emphasize that choosing not to climb Devils Tower at any time of the year is the most respectful course of action.

	MediaRights: Film: Devils Tower
		Devils Tower, made famous by Steven Spielberg in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, is one of the premier climbing challenges in the world.
		For the Lakota, and other tribes of the northern plains who perform sun dances and vision quests nearby, solitude and silence are disturbed by the presence of rock climbers, whose culture dictates that the tower be used for personal adventure, not communal prayers.
		DEVILS TOWER, part of the IN THE LIGHT OF REVERENCE Classroom Series, tells the story of the Lakota, an indigenous community of the Great Plains, and the land they struggle to protect.

	The Film Asylum - The Devils Nightmare film review
		In WWII, Nazi officer (Servais) sold his soul to the Devil, with the result being a curse on all the female Von Rhonebergs, doomed to be born as a Succubus.
		Sorrell, a rather rigid priest-in-training who is targeted throughout the film by the sexy succubus.
		The FX work is generally pitiful (jump cuts are used in place of more expensive artistry because the film's so damn cheap in many ways), but the ghoulish makeup on Blanc is fun.

	Show Business Weekly: Review: Film: Devils on the Doorstep (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Now playing at the Film Forum in Manhattan, the tragicomedy serves as a history lesson for Americans whose knowledge of the atrocities of World War II rarely includes the victimization of the Chinese by the Japanese military.
		Devils is comparable to Life is Beautiful in the way it effectively finds humor within the horrors of wa–it believably transitions from farcical comedy to tragic drama.
		The film abruptly begins with a sex scene, unusual in a Chinese film, which is halted by an unknown visitor.

		The man who emerges in this fascinating portrait is an idealist who, after overthrowing a US-backed dictator, became a serious impediment to the neocolonialist plans of Uncle Sam, the United Fruit Company, and the CIA.
		Devils ranges from the stunning testimony of an aging CIA provocateur who brought down the dream, to chilling political masquerade -- Nixon and Guzman's "puppet" replacement at a press conference, mouthing phony platitudes about the evils of the former president's communism.
		After studying sociology, history of economy and social economy in Warsaw and Zurich, he started working as a freelance journalist for newspapers, radio and television.

		Films were being made then by Munk, Wajda, Has, and, from the older generation, [Aleksander] Ford, Jakubowska, Buczkowski, and Cekalski, all of whose work we viewed with critical distance, while nevertheless respecting the fact that it was they who, through their pre-war production unit "Start", had been the vanguard of serious Polish cinema."
		From his most recent film 2001' s Quo Vadis (based on the same story of the Roman emperors that served as the basis of several earlier films) to his Pharaoh (which garnered him a foreign film Oscar nomination in 1966), he has created some of the biggest productions in Polish film history.
		It was born when some talented people were given a voice and in their work introduced to the world for the first time Polish figures who did not conform to the common stereotype.

	Devils on the Doorstep
		The film was censured by the Chinese Film Bureau, and blocked from being shown in China, even while it won second prize at Cannes.
		The film takes somewhat less of a polemical tone than the book, pretending to the kind of impartiality that people seem to think is required from a documentary.
		The advantage of a film like this is that, unlike a news show like Nightline, where charges are hurled about without enough time to make them credible, here the background detail and accretion of facts can paint a comprehensive picture without having to resort to rhetoric.

	AsiaSource Interview with Matsui Minoru and Oguri Ken'ichi
		"Japanese Devils" is a literal translation of the film's original title "Riben Guizi." "Riben Guizi" was a phrase used by the Chinese in the '30s and '40s expressing hatred of foreign oppressors.
		One of the military doctors explained in the film that when the U.S. military arrived in Japan after the war was over, they pardoned many of the doctors who conducted medical experiments in exchange for the research the doctors had carried out.
		The film is a little too graphic for teachers to show in the classroom to younger children.

		I had retreated to the island with a list of film footage converted into timings, a set of stills from the film to remind me of the contents of each scene, the script, and a metronome and stop-watch.
		With this method, the conductor records the music to the film shown on a cue screen, with a 'click track' in his ear over headphones, which gives the exact speed of the beats of the section - very necessary when accuracy to a fraction of a second is required.
		To a film composer, Russell is easy and pleasant to work with - which is as well, since the maker of a film is at a great disadvantage, in that he has no idea how the music will sound or fit until the actual recording session.

	Devil's Backbone, The (2001): Reviews
		The film doesn't explore the nature of ghosts, as it promises to initially, but it's fun to watch Del Toro confront death and fear with such energy and humor.
		As the orphans whittle away their sticks in order to overpower their capturer with spears, it hits you that "The Devil's Backbone" could be a Disney film, had the orphans been plucky, and the villain not some benign threat to their welfare.
		But the unwritten taboo is broken in "The Devil's Backbone", a purportedly sophisticated film that also has the base mentality of a slasher pic in how women are punished for desiring sex.

	The Devils Backbone (2001)
		His new home is an imposing though deteriorating compound of buildings that encircle a dusty courtyard, the cool darkness of its interiors offering little sanctuary from the desert sun or the violence that men do in the name of politics or greed.
		The Devil's Backbone weaves these threads and setting into a surreal landscape with many of its most haunting scenes taking place in daylight, albeit the shadowed daylight of high-ceilinged hallways and cellars.
		There are no jump-in-your-seat kind of jolts, but rather the film slowly and methodically builds an atmosphere of threat and retribution wherein secrets can be revealed and ghosts laid to rest.

	Bruce Springsteen : Devils and Dust - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		While the characters that roam through Devils & Dust are similarly heartbroken, desperate and down-trodden, they're far removed from the criminals and renegades of Nebraska, and the album doesn't have the political immediacy of Ghost's latter-day Woody Guthrie-styled tales -- themes that tied together those two albums.
		But the key to Devils & Dust, and why it's his strongest record in a long time, is that the music is as vivid and varied as words.
		Devils & Dust is also concise and precisely constructed, two things the otherwise excellent 2002 comeback The Rising was not, and that sharp focus helps make this the leanest, artiest and simply best record Springsteen has made in many years.

		Despite these quibbles, "Devils on the Doorstep" offers a rare picture of life during wartime rarely encountered by American or Western audiences, for whom World War II movies usually concentrate on the European theater of operations and the war in the Pacific.

	BUFS Reviews: The Devils
		This is not a film for the faint hearted, particularly in its uncut form, charting as it does a catalogue of atrocities committed on man by his fellow man in seventeenth century provincial France."
		Based on Aldous Huxley's The Devils of Loudon, the setting is 1634, in France, with the Black Death stampeding across Europe, promoting waves of religious hysteria, as common man and intellect look to God to explain the blight that is killing so many of them.
		This is not an easy film to watch, but it rewards with its amazing imagery, superb performances, and cruel humour.
