  Three-Eight Charlie - The Screenplay about the Life of Jerrie Mock
On March 19th, 1964, Jerrie Mock, a 38-year-old mother of three, jumped in the family Cessna 180 and departed Port Columbus (OH) Airport.
Her historic flight has been hiding under the radar for 41 years, but that is all about to change.
Through an agreement with Jerrie herself, I was chosen as the first screenwriter ever to craft her exciting life story into a feature film script.

  Reading Three Colours: Blue
At the beginning of the film Julie and her husband, a famous composer, along with their daughter, Anna, are involved in a car crash (2).
If the film did encourage a number of shots from Julie's point of view (there are few) or if Julie narrated her thoughts à la Philip Marlowe in ways that drew us into a step-by-step experience of her experiences (the film does not) then Wilson's point might be granted.
Late in the film, when talking with Olivier, Julie realises that if she had emptied out the desk then she either would have found the photographs herself or, alternatively, she might have just burned the whole lot without ever having looked at them, and thus might never have learnt of the affair.

 Krzysztof Kieslowski
As in Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, the visual otherworldliness of the film is a representation of the exploration of the subconscious.
The use of blue imagery in the film is, paradoxically, the most elemental and most abstract of the colors in the trilogy.
This is a film of intoxicating beauty and profound revelation that continues to unfold long after the conclusion.

These Three is a 1936 film with Bonita Granville.
It was an altered version of the original Lillian Hellman play, The Children's Hour, in which two women running a Boarding school for girls loose their careers after one of the students accuses them of lesbianism.
In These Three the story was changed to fit the Movie Code of the time, and the theme of Lesbianism was replaced with a Heterosexual love-triangle.

 Wellington Film Society - The Film Idea
The woodcutter and the priest have heard the three versions of the participants during the official examination before the magistrate; throughout the film the woodcutter appears overwhelmed by the dishonesty of the testimony, and finally admitting that he was an eye-witness, he relates his own version of the events.
Thus, the main body of the film is taken from 'In a Grove', Incorporated into a framework based on 'Rashomon', and structured so that the framing story and the personal versions of the rape and the death take their meaning from their juxtaposition in a newly created context.
The film's style is designed around the use of a moving camera that continually clarifies to the viewer that the angle of perception in a particular version belongs only to the speaker.

Filmed in both India and the United States, this drama from Rajiv Anchal portrays an American physician who on a quest to help a patient begins to examine alternative medicine and the role of spirituality.
The result is a film that’s shaky, purposefully tedious and rickety, and generally difficult to consume, but ultimately rewarding -- at least to the artsy rockers with whom it’s most likely to resound.
Perhaps the closest he came was this 1974 film, a slow montage of the play of light through a large crystal ashtray.

All three films involve a chance encounter between the distressed protagonist and a sympathetic observer -- the widow and the mistress in BLUE, Karol and Mikolaj in WHITE, the retired judge and the model in RED.
Relating the three colours of the French flag to the mantra of the French Revolution (liberty, equality, fraternity), Kieslowski explores these virtues not as ideals or as morals to be evoked in each of the films, but as values which have largely been swept aside by modern consumerism and the pursuit of self-satisfaction and self-indulgence.
All three of the films in this series are fascinating in their own way, and I would most definitely recommend them, since they are far and away superior to most of what you'll find either on disc or the screen these days.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | Lillian Hellman: These Three
Dick does make a strong case for the idea that the movie is concerned with the three characters together, particularly in the confrontation scene in which director William Wyler groups Karen, Joe, and Martha in a series of three-shots.
Hellman's film characterization of the child retains its malevolent intensity; the major differences between the play and film have to do with the reason for the child's action and her narrative function for the story.
In the film, on the other hand, her absence after achieving her goal of getting out of school, does not provoke the same response because she has served her purpose for the Hollywood love story: separating the lovers.

When I saw this film at the cinema about 2 years ago, the only problem I had with the film was the fact that the cinema was appauling and I had no leg room wotsoever, not too nice for a man of 6'4".
Three Kings is a most intriguing and thought-provoking "war film" I have seen in a long time.
The main point of the film is the scene after scene of intense acting showing the futility, the barbarity, the unfairness and the downright dirtiness of war.

A haunted American war veteran, James Hager (played by Harvey Keitel, who is also the executive producer of the film), returns to claim his daughter, an Amerasian whose rejection by Vietnamese society means that she can only obtain income as a prostitute for foreigners.
