Title: "Outbreak" - Topics: Science-Technology The path of the virus from host animal to its first victims and from there to an entire community is clearly shown in the film. The film also explores the question of whether people exposed to contagious diseases can be killed to protect society as a whole and gives an example of how some people in large organizations can deal ethically with the pressures that are sometimes placed on them. This film is an excellent motivator to interest children in the study of viruses and viral illness. www.teachwithmovies.org /guides/outbreak.html   (521 words)

Movie Database - tvguide.com Composer Charles Fox ("Happy Days", many TV shows, and a host of movies, including FOUL PLAY) was supposed to do the score for the film, but he and producer Carr didn't see eye to eye, so Louis St. Louis was brought in, and his barely credited contribution was excellent. He had already done a good job directing Travolta in a TV film called "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble," the true story of a young man with a rare disease who could not leave the bubble he lived in or he would die. Travolta was never better, and his film career went straight downhill from here as he starred in a host of garbage pictures that made very little money. online.tvguide.com /movies/database/Movie-Review.asp?MI=29008   (652 words)

Books, films, and web sites about multiplicity In one priceless early scene, Elizabeth attends a dinner party where one of her alters repeatedly pops out and insults the host; but since the entire scene is written from Elizabeth's perspective, we, like she, have to infer what is going on from the host's reactions. Interest in multiple personality disorder has generated a staggering amount of media, and the best I can hope to do here is offer a few pointers on where to start wading. Real-life multiples are understandably not flattered by the metaphor, but I think the key to these movies' popularity is that everyone has a dark side, and everyone worries about what would happen if the "bad me" got out—or got found out. home.att.net /~storytellers/multiref.html   (1438 words)

'Cabaret' is only one of three major elements that remains separate in the film and then gradually and inexorably become melted into one... Only once does the film leave the nightclub for a musical number in an outdoor café, and then it is for one of the film's most haunting scenes, where a young boy begins to sing 'Tomorrow Belongs To Me'.. www.imdb.com /title/tt0068327   (1610 words)

MIC Preservation Portal: Preserving Motion Picture Sound Working with film elements in either the video or digital domains introduces a host of additional special considerations, which is beyond a brief look at film synchronization. Film speed is twenty-four frames per second (fps), and historically it was derived by special synchronization motors that were able to keep a steady twenty-four fps speed using the 60Hz (50Hz in Europe) of standard 110/120 volt (230/240v) line current (the same electrical current that runs lights, appliances, etc.). If the sound playback head was installed at this location, the interruption in the film’s movement would yield an unacceptable “staccato” like sound.) Thus the sound is said to be “advanced” from the picture, and this sync relationship is established at the laboratory when the print is made. mic.imtc.gatech.edu /preservationists_portal/presv_sound.htm   (1850 words)

GreenCine Film Noir Muller is the programmer and host of annual film noir festivals at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre and the Castro Theatre in San Francisco. Those are films that set the era's artistic agenda for cinematic crime - the "B" pictures from the majors, and the stuff from Monogram and PRC and Eagle-Lion studios, mainly copied what the "A" films did successfully. Ida Lupino's The Hitch-Hiker (1953) has been called the only true noir directed by a woman, but those who make that claim probably also mean to include the provision "during the classic noir period." Regardless, the heroine of American independent cinema proclaimed it her best film and few would argue. www.greencine.com /static/primers/noir.jsp   (2794 words)

Magnolia and the Signs of the Times: A Theological Reflection The film is operatic in its magnitude and scope, and it moves between stories without urgency, allowing the deeper emotions of the characters to slowly surface. Much of the film is shot in exquisite close-ups revealing in some of the characters their past sorrows and defeats, while in others, their struggle for authenticity in the present. As I watched the film, I was reminded of The Brothers Karamazov, by F. Dostoyevsky, where the lives of the brothers in the novel reflect and resist the structures of sin ascribed to the life of the father. www.unomaha.edu /jrf/magnolia.htm   (3404 words)

Madagascar The island's coastal waters host an equally impressive array of marine life, supporting populations of humpback whales, dolphins, marine turtles, and over 56 species of shark. It is the exceptional degree of endemic plant and animal species that causes many biologists to consider this island— sometimes referred to as the "eighth continent"— as the planet's highest conservation priority. From the lush rainforests of the northern and eastern coasts, to the scorched heat of the south's spiny desert, Madagascar has a magnificent variety of life forms found nowhere else on earth. www.wcs.org /international/Africa/Madagascar   (380 words)
