	MAYER: Ritual Antagonism in Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt
		Contempt savages filmmaking and film consumption, yet the viewer nonetheless feels that film and filmmakers such as Lang are glorified.
		At the beginning of the film, Camille and Paul are tender lovers; at the end, she and the producer die in a car accident, after she and Paul have separated.
		Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt (1963) is both a reworking of the Odyssey and a film about filmmaking.

	Reviews: Serenity - Christianity Today Movies
		And Serenity is often darker and scarier than many episodes (at times feeling like an Alien film) thanks mainly to the presence of Reavers, barbarian men who've become savages on the edges of space.
		Serenity is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense violence and action and some sexual references, but it should be treated as an R-rated film because of the level of disturbing and shocking violence.
		Serenity is not a flawless film, but it may very well be the most enthralling, satisfying, funny, moving, and profound sci-fi adventure film in years.

	Political Film Society - Ambush
		With a minimum of actual violence, Ambush is almost an antiwar film, demonstrating through the conflict between Lukkari and Saarinen the way in which war can turn young men into savages, separating those who are mentally ill equipped from those who become obsessively vicious, with most somewhere on the scale between.
		At the beginning of the film begins, Lt. Eero Perkola (played by Peter Franzén) receives an order to lead his platoon to Repola, a military encampment where he fortuitously encounters his girlfriend Kaarina Vainikainen (played by Irina Björklund), a member of the Auxiliaries who are attending to the men in uniform and the casualties.
		In the battle Eero is hit and is momentarily unconscious, so when his unit reaches safety, he is transferred to a makeshift hospital, where he encounters Kaarina, also a survivor, and the film ends as they embrace.

	Telegraph News Lottery-funded film under fire for anti-British bias
		The Government-backed UK Film Council has been attacked for investing £150,000 of lottery funds in a Bollywood film that savages British rule in India.
		Mr David is scathing about the film's central claim that the bloody events of 1857 were sparked by the company's insistence that Muslim and Hindu sepoys used bullet casings covered in beef and pork fat.
		Bobby Bedi, the film's producer, accepted that some of the scenes were conjecture but he insisted the film was against the British East Indian Company, not anti-Britain.

	Ladder 49
		I have a lot of contempt for this film because it has a lot of contempt for its audience: call it the self-defense school of taking aim at a piece of crap, or a losing battle to save the folks sobbing loudly into their hankies when the lights come up.
		In its insidious way, Ladder 49 is as dangerous as other middlebrow epics like Radio and The Other Sister, pictures in which edgeless noble savages teach us through their selfless examples about life and about what it means to avoid real responsibility and community involvement.
		It's the 1940s war film with more David Gray songs and the same number of good-boy African-Americans.

	Casualties of War (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film is about how normal moral behavior is discarded during war times and shows it in the extreme when soldiers become savages who can dehumanize innocent by-standers.
		Casualties of War is a 1989 war movie about the Vietnam War, starring Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn.
		The film was a departure for Fox who had worked with light-hearted comedy up untill that point.

	RABBIT-PROOF FENCE (PG): ChildCare Action Project (CAP) Media Analysis Report MAR23022
		Throughout the film, however, the real accountability for the mixed-race children is ignored as if it is one of those things that happen; as an unavoidable part of life.
		Rabbit-proof Fence is not like one of the typical documentaries which, too often, seem to portray aboriginal peoples as either brainless savages of no consequence to the world or as spiritual gurus from whom the world should take lessons.
		Once again (finally) filmmakers have demonstrated the rare talent of making a good film without saturating it with vulgar extremes.

	USCCB Reviews - Broken Arrow
		N.B.: Films with the initials "br" (before rating) or "nr" (not rated) denote those movies which were released either before the rating system was established, or are being released without an MPAA rating.
		Directed by Delmer Daves, the fact-based story has plenty of colorful period action, some Indian lore and a bit of romance, but was more notable at the time for its sympathetic treatment of Native Americans as fellow humans rather than howling savages.
		The following are the classifications used by the Office for Film & Broadcasting in rating each film.

	Kifaru Productions
		With people thinking romantically of the "noble savages" of yesteryear, the dominant culture tends to deny responsibility for protecting the religious freedoms, land claims, health care and other rights of contemporary aboriginal nations.
		Our programs have garnered both educational and film industry awards and raves from reviewers as diverse as International Variety and The Washington Post.
		"A Seat At The Table is a valuable and insightful film about a too long overlooked topic, the right of Native American people to have their sacred sites and practices honored and protected.

	Home on the Range
		Upon entering their homes and creating terror, all weapons are confiscated leaving the poor families defenseless from not only the armed invaders themselves, but the criminal savages who roam the streets with AK-47’s and other assault weapons.
		Home ownership is one of the great strengths of any community, and it must be a central part of our vision for the revival of this region,” Bush said later in the speech.
		If you are one of those poor ole chaps who believe this to be unconstitutional remember that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled [sic] a few months ago in their Kelo decision that the government may confiscate land for public and private use, which means they can essentially do whatever the hell they want.

	Canuxploitation Review: Savage Island
		While the film gives a good look at the Savages as they are, my only real regret is that little history and context is provided for them.
		When the Savages attack, the film slips into high gear, pushing all the right buttons to provide a genuine pace-quickening experience.
		The Savages also seem to have a legitimate stake in the land—it is called "Savage" Island, after all—as well as a justifiable reason to go after Peter.

	Demon Gin
		The film's protagonist seems, on at least two occasions, to address the audience directly and imply that they are more savage than the savages depicted and that they are more ravenous than the various ravagers depicted.
		The thing about Cannibal Holocaust is that it's an exploitation film that came at the end of the genre's first lifecycle and is very much a commentary about exploitation films.
		Legend holds that the film was banned in 30 countries upon its release and its maker, Deodato, was brought before an Italian court and forced to demonstrate how the film's realistic bludgeonings, dismemberments and rapes were effected--the court alleged that actual humans were beaten, killed and raped during the film's production.

	Amazon.co.uk: Serenity: The Official Visual Companion: Books
		Serenity was an original and enjoyable film, and this companion does it justice, in no small part to the level of involvement Joss had with it.
		This book is an essential purchase for fans of Serenity, the excellent sci-fi Western film released recently in cinemas, continuing the story of Captain Mal Reynolds and his crew that begun in the short lived TV series Firefly.
		There is also a very comprehensive and interesting interview with Serenity's writer/director Joss Whedon, covering a wide range of topics and we also get his pre-production memos for example, about the score and the lighting, and how he went about making the film.

	Mainly About Lindsay Anderson by Gavin Lambert PopMatters Book Review
		While If concludes with change wrought through the barrel of a gun, what lingers about the film is the breadth of Anderson's imagination and the passion with which he at the same time savages and memorializes the environment of his youth.
		Lindsay Anderson was one of Britain's most noted and productive theatre and film directors during the second half of the last century.
		Lambert went on to work for the British Film Institute, direct a single film, Amber Sky (1955) and write a set of novels and screenplays, which include the adaptation of his narrative Inside Daisy Clover (1965).

	Cannibal Holocaust
		Deodato's first cannibal movie was entitled "Ultimo Mondo Cannibal" (AKA "Cannibal", "Last Cannibal World", Jungle Holocaust") and used the same cast of Umberto Lenzi's earlier picture Deep River Savages.
		However, the really shocking part comes when the tribesmen eventually get the upper hand, but rather than try to escape, the film makers decide instead to film the captured members of their crew getting beaten, hacked up and eaten, which proves to be their eventual undoing....
		There has been much speculation over the years about the existence of a supposedly filmed missing sequence known as the "piranha bait scene", showing a native being strapped to a log then lowered into a piranha invested river.

	Biography for James Ivory
		More Indianthemed films followed-The Guru (1969), Bombay Talkie (1970), and Adventures of a Brown Man in Search of Civilization (1970, a documentary about writer Nirad Chaudhari)-before the team explored new territory (unsuccessfully) with the allegory Savages (1972) and The Wild Party (1975), a story of 1920s Hollywood which was drastically recut by its distributor.
		Ivory studied film at USC and won acclaim for the short documentaries Venice: Theme and Variation (1957) and The Sword and the Flute (1959).
		Following Hullabaloo Over Georgie and Bonnie's Pictures (a 1978 telefilm), Merchant and Ivory made their first stab at bringing a major literary work to the screen, with a handsome adaptation of Henry James' The Europeans (1979).

	The New American Old West: Bruno Dumont's Twentynine Palms
		Twentynine Palms fits comfortably into the “art film” genre, and, as such, it will likely be appreciated by those most willing to rationally dissect its network of symbols and allusions.
		Reviewers of Twentynine Palms have, almost without exception, called attention to the former, citing Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960), Zabriskie Point (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1970) and Deliverance (John Boorman, 1972) as a few of the film's most obvious forebears (4).
		In the same California desert where novelist Frank Norris's McTeague dies as a result of his greed and jealousy, where John Wayne eternally rides horses and fights “savages”, where the US Marines “unmask devastating firepower in training”, David adopts the appropriate pose, driving his army-like truck and fucking his beautiful girlfriend with a near-bestial desperation.

	Telegraph News Disney accused of bad taste over Carib cannibals in pirate movie
		Work on the film, which will see Johnny Depp reprise his role as a pirate along with a guest appearance by the Rolling Stone Keith Richards as his father, is expected to begin next month on the island of Dominica.
		Leaving aside the delicate issue of dietary requirements, the consensus among historians is that while the Caribs were fierce pirates, far from being savages, they were accomplished seafarers who roamed the Caribbean in huge dug-out canoes.
		The first Pirates of the Caribbean film, The Curse of the Black Pearl, took $305 million (£160 million) at the American box office, making it the second highest grossing film in 2003.

	John Wayne: American - Filmography 1945-1950
		John Ford's poetic adaptation of William White's book about a PT boat squadron in the South Pacific during World War II may be the best feature film on the war in that theater and is considered by some scholars including British director Lindsay Anderson as Ford's greatest work.
		Montgomery who shared in the film's direction gives the best noncomic performance of his career as the evenhanded CO. But in a visually arresting film that could provide a formidable emotional impact even without the use of sound it's the eloquent compositions of director of photography Joseph H. August that resonate most powerfully.
		Despite the warnings of veteran Indian-fighter Capt. Kirby York (John Wayne) he dismisses the notion that a group of savages could possibly be of concern to one possessing his military prowess.

	Susan Blakely as "Martha Boyd"
		Blakely's feature film career began with starring roles in two classics, one from the Oscar-winning team of Merchant-Ivory, "SAVAGES," and the other "THE LORDS OF FLATBUSH," in which she starred with three other relative newcomers, Sylvester Stallone, Henry Winkler, and Perry King.
		It will be the first film produced under the UpStart Films banner, a screenplay development company in which she is a partner that was established by Stephen Jaffe and Daniel Howell.
		Credit was given her by critics across the nation for her ability to go from those films to the touching portrayal of a battered wife, in "WILDFLOWER", Diane Keaton's debut as a director.

		Steve MacLaughlin, however, details how the film greatly misrepresents medical and health care reality just to make its point -- and he fears that Joe Popcorn is going to absorb it as political education.
		Matt: Maybe I should have lead with the MacLaughlin link, since my angle was mainly about the apparent use of an entertainment film to make a political statement using a straw-man argument.
		Roger Ebert savages "John Q." for general dumbness yet agrees with the message: we should have socialized health care.

	Coastal Post Online
		Using the latest cinematic developments in computer technology to produce extraordinary scenes of extreme violence and brutality is all that distinguishes "The Fellowship of the Rings" from the usual exaltation of all male bands of brothers on dangerous quests involving the slaughter of frightful half human savages.
		Here the film closely follows the idiotic logic of Fairy Tales which seems to insure an Oscar or two.
		The film, the first part of a three part series, with the second and third to be released over the next two years, closely follows the immensely popular books published in England in 1954 and 1955.
