["00 Schneider – Jagd auf Nihil Baxter ( Hunt for Nihil Baxter ) is a German comedy-film directed by Helge Schneider . It was released on 22 December 1994.", "He wrote the script as well as the music, did film direction , and played the main character and several additional roles.", "The funny clown Bratislav Metulskie is found dead in the \"Apollo\" circus. Retired inspector 00 Schneider is asked to take over the case. Schneider and his aged sidekick Körschgen investigate the murder and soon identify a suspect by the name of Nihil Baxter. The passionate art collector is a little nuts and does not cultivate social contacts at all. Inspector Schneider investigates at the circus and pays Baxter a visit. Baxter makes up an alibi and claims that he was working on a painting when the murder took place. Körschgen finds out that the picture is an imitation. When Baxter tries to escape to Rio by plane after he stole a sculpture from the practice of Dr. Hasenbein, 00 Schneider and his sidekick are also on board. As they are incognito, they are able to arrest the criminal with the help of the world-famous \"sniffer dog nose\" pilot.", "Helge Schneider has described his second film as his best. The film is a colorful kaleidoscope of characters, scenes and locations. Even more than the other Schneider films, this one is characterized by a loose, often almost superfluous basic plot, which Schneider repeatedly tilts, twists or even abandons with great pleasure. An avant-garde sequence in the Neandertal Museum in Mettmann, for example, which is accompanied by an opera parody sung by Schneider himself (Schneider sings the operating instructions for a Uher tape recorder backwards), turns out to be the detective's dream. What was most important to Schneider was the portrayal of the characters' lives and everyday lives. Added to this was his special way of filming: basically without a script.", "Filming took place in Schneider's hometown of Mülheim an der Ruhr and in the rest of the Ruhr area, such as in Gelsenkirchen, where the Circus Apollo performed in the so-called Kesselpark .", "With the inspector, Schneider brings a character to the screen that he developed in his crime novels and had already introduced in Texas: Doc Snyder Holds the World in Suspense . An important stylistic feature of the novels is the exaggerated depiction of violence that is absurd, which was not implemented in the film in this form. But even this 00 Schneider has a latent arbitrariness and brutality, for example when he destroys a little boy's scooter. A scene in which he fights with Nihil Baxter did not make it into the final version of the film.", "Schneider can be seen in four roles in the film: as Inspector 00 Schneider, as criminal Nihil Baxter, as amateur surgeon Dr. Hasenbein and as pop star Johnny Flash, which required the sometimes complicated use of doubles. Schneider deliberately chose a double who did not look like him. A scene with the inspector, Körschgen and Nihil Baxter in the same room became a technical challenge when Körschgen was also unable to take part due to illness.", "Other double roles are played by Andreas Kunze (as Mrs. Inspector 00 Schneider and as a tiger in the circus) and Thomas Busch (as secretary and double of Helge Schneider).", "The cars used in the film are a Jaguar E-Type, a Peugeot 404 and a Triumph TR3.", "[ 1 ]"]

The film was directed by Victor Schertzinger and adapted from the story Don't Fall in Love , by Charles Beahan and Dorothy Speare.", "In the relatively new use of sound recordings for film, One Night of Love was noted at the time for its innovative use of vertical cut recording , for which Columbia Pictures received an Academy Scientific and Technical Award . It also won the Academy's first Award for Best Original Score .", "Opera singer Mary Barrett ( Grace Moore ) leaves to study music in Milan , Italy to the disappointment of her family in New York City. Mary gets a job at the Cafe Roma, where Giulio Monteverdi ( Tullio Carminati ), a famous vocal coach, hears her sing. Giulio promises to make Mary a star if she will allow him to control her life. He also tells her that there cannot be any romance between the two of them, as that would distract from the process of growing her talent. Mary discovers she has stagefright as she prepares for a tour of provincial opera houses , however Giulio helps her overcome it.", "Years later, still under Giulio's tutelage, Mary begins to tire of his dominance and discipline. The two meet one of Giulio's old pupils, Lally ( Mona Barrie ), while in Vienna . Lally once tried to be romantic with Giulio, but was rejected. This past history renders Mary jealous and she pretends to have laryngitis . Mary thinks Giulio has gone to Lally to rekindle a romance, and so visits Bill Houston ( Lyle Talbot ), a longtime friend who has proposed marriage. In a jealous huff, Mary decides not to sing that night in order to punish Giulio. Giulio realizes what is going on and tells Mary that Lally will replace her on stage, but then proposes to Mary.", "She decides to go on, and Mary's performance of Bizet 's Carmen wins her an invitation to the Metropolitan Opera , her dream venue. Giulio, however, still does not believe that she is ready for such a venue. Later at dinner, Lally lies to Mary by telling her that she is still involved with Giulio. On the night of her debut in Madame Butterfly , Mary is too nervous to go on stage until she sees Giulio in his usual place in the prompter's box. [ 2 ]", "The complete proscenium and part of the wings and seating plan of the Metropolitan Opera House were duplicated for this production and occupied the whole of Columbia's largest sound stage . [ 3 ]", "Moore's recording and performance of the Un bel di aria from Madame Butterfly did not go smoothly, as she had trouble hitting the high notes. According to a later biography, she flew into a rage and blamed the orchestra. However, when studio boss Harry Cohn asked Columbia music director, Morris Stoloff , what the problem was, Stoloff replied, \"There's nothing wrong with the orchestra. These are the original Puccini orchestrations.\" Moore was then told that either she went back to the recording stage or she would be responsible for paying the day's salary for the entire orchestra, and she returned and recorded the aria. [ 4 ]", "Grace Moore's title song \"One Night of Love\" was composed by Victor Schertzinger himself, with lyrics by Gus Kahn . The lyrics began \"One Night Of Love, When two hearts are one\". It was later recorded by Anna Moffo as the title track of a 1965 crossover album.", "One Night of Love was selected as one of the ten best pictures of 1934 by Film Daily ' s annual poll of critics. [ 5 ]", "Through October 1936 One Night of Love had theater rentals in the U.S. and Canada of over $733,000 according to Variety magazine surveys of the time. [ 6 ] The film earned an estimated $2.5 million worldwide. [ 1 ] Although it did not do well in rural areas and small towns, One Night of Love was the first Columbia film to gain important bookings in the powerful Loews chain of theaters, which was a milestone in Columbia's progress. [ 4 ]", "At the Academy Awards , the film won two out of six nominations, as well as a Technical Award.", "The film was also recognized by the American Film Institute :"]

They stop by the king's feast before he goes marching to war to avenge his father's death . Hadassah and Jesse witness the king summoning Queen Vashti . Queen Vashti was opposed to the war, desiring King Xerxes to enhance his kingdom instead. She holds her own feast in protest against the war. When the king summons her to his feast, she refuses to come, stating, \"I am queen and I will not lower my dignity. Or shame my crown by wearing it before your drunk and thinly veiled war council\".

Silas ultimately does, having found a solution in which the last of Ivory's leaves could be used to counteract nausea.", "Nonetheless, because of their low grades, Jamal and Silas do not receive an invitation to the Harvard Alumni party. Dean Cain, clearly thrilled with this result, tells Bart he does not have to worry about the pair showing up or staying in Harvard.

At the party, Silas makes things a bit more interesting by testing out his truth serum experiment, which proves successful.", "At Lauren's presentation at the alumni party of Benjamin Franklin 's artifacts, she shocks everyone with her discovery: the artifacts turn out to be a bong . Ivory even shows up with Benjamin Franklin to confirm the bong's authenticity. Dean Cain is outraged by this finding, but the Chancellor decides that he has had it with the Dean and fires him. Jamal and Silas are proud that the serum worked, a celebration that was almost short-lived, as Dean Cain returns and unsuccessfully attempts to kill them both with an axe in anger. He is eventually apprehended by Secret Service .

[ 4 ] The film was declared a success at box-office. [ 5 ]", "Mythri was released worldwide on 20 February 2015 and garnered widespread critical acclaim. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The film was praised for its strong and realistic plot, cast performance, cinematography and social message. Some critics called it one of the best films made in Kannada. [ 8 ] The partially reshot Malayalam version titled My Hero Mythri was released on 12 June 2015 in Kerala . It had Kalabhavan Mani reprising the role played by Ravi Kale in the original, and also had Anu Joseph and Sajitha Betti in the additional scenes.

One of Siddarama's pranks leads him into lock-up , and his mother requests help from Gooli Prathap/Kaala Pratapan, a pimp who runs a human trafficking business and also has political ambitions. Once Siddarama is released, Pratap sets his eyes on Siddarama's mother. Siddarama is also a huge fan of Puneeth Rajkumar and bunks classes in order to see Puneeth's film shooting .", "During the shooting, he also gets a chance to interact with Puneeth and share his scrapbook . Later, Siddarama is in juvenile prison , whose warden is very strict, where he develops good relations with his fellow inmate Johnson; it is Johnson who sees Siddarama's potential to achieve big in life. Siddarama is encouraged by Johnson and gets selected to Karunada Kotyadipathi , hosted by Puneeth and being a step away from winning ₹ 1 crore (US$120,000).", "After the show, Puneeth meets DRDO scientist Mahadev Ghodke, who requests him not to take the show further as Siddarama is the one who murdered his son. Shocked, Puneeth tells that it is not in his hands to do so. Mahadev expresses his unhappiness and walks away. Mahadev devises a plan to kill Gooli Prathap/Kaala Pratapan by devising a bomb and also reaches Pratap's cabinet office with the bomb. At the same time, Puneeth asks Siddarama the final question, which he is unable to answer.", "Siddarama uses the Phone-a-friend option and calls Mahadev to help him with the answer. Without any prejudice, Mahadev gives the right answer, where Puneeth reveals about Siddarama's involvement in the murder of Mahadev's son. Distraught, Siddharama reveals that he didn't kill the boy and that Gooli Prathap/Kaala Pratapan's henchmen had killed the boy where he is forced by Gooli Prathap/Kaala Pratapan and his henchmen to take the blame. After learning this, Mahadev leaves the office, and the bomb detonates killing Gooli Prathap/Kaala Pratapan and his henchman, who were checking the contents of the suitcase. Mahadev then adopts Siddarama as his own son.", "In April 2013, actor Mohanlal [ 10 ] announced that his next project would be a Kannada film along with Puneeth Rajkumar by tweeting about it.

[ 12 ] \"Rajesh Nair, a close friend of Mohanlal helped us to get the actor into Sandalwood again. We will start shoot by next month, once Puneeth is back from his US trip\", added the producer. The film was titled Mythri in July. [ 13 ] The makers had zeroed in on Hindi film actress Radhika Apte , however, the actress had prior commitments because of which she couldn't act in the film. [ 14 ] Archana was selected to play the female lead role opposite Mohanlal. [ 15 ] Director Giriaj said that he was planning to rope in either Bhavana or Parvati Menon to play the other heroine role in the film.

Also praised the music from Ilayaraaja, cast performances and A. V Krishnakumar's camera work. [ 26 ] The Hindu stated \"It is undoubtedly one of the most sensible films made in Kannada cinema in recent years.

["Neuilly Yo Mama! ( French : Neuilly sa mère ! [nøji sa mɛʁ] ) is a 2009 French comedy film directed by Gabriel Julien-Laferrière [ fr ] . It stars Samy Seghir as a beur teenager who moves from the housing projects to the upscale neighbourhood of Neuilly-sur-Seine . Because of its use of social inequality as a comedic device, it has been compared to the 1988 French comedy Life Is a Long Quiet River ( La vie est un long fleuve tranquille ). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] A sequel, titled Neuilly sa mère, sa mère! , was filmed in 2018.", "A word-for-word translation of the film's title is \"Neuilly his/her mother!\". The title is a play on the vulgar French insult nique ta mère (\"screw your mother \"), in which Neuilly effectively serves as a euphemism .", "Fourteen-year-old Sami (Samy Seghir) is a beur (a French person of Maghrebi descent) living in Chalon-sur-Saône , a relatively poor city in the Burgundy region. When his widowed mother ( Farida Khelfa ) takes a job working on a boat, she sends Sami to live with her sister Djamila ( Rachida Brakni ), who is married to Frenchman Stanislas de Chazelle ( Denis Podalydès ). They live in the upscale neighborhood of Neuilly-sur-Seine , an affluent suburb of Paris , with Stanislas' two children from his prior marriage: Charles (Jérémy Denisty), who aspires to be a politician someday, and Caroline (Chloé Coulloud). At first Charles resents Sami's presence in his house, but they gradually become friends. Sami enrolls in classes at Saint-Exupéry, a private school there.", "Sami is made fun of by many of his classmates at school, particularly Guilain Lambert ( Mathieu Spinosi ). He impresses the blonde violinist Marie ( Joséphine Japy ), however, with his tender side: during a music class one of the pieces moves him to tears by making him think of his friends back in Chalon. He and Marie become friends. Guilain, who also has his eye on Marie, gets revenge by tricking Sami into eating pork (which Sami cannot eat, as it is haraam ), and Sami retaliates by beating up Guilain. Marie chides Sami, saying she will not tolerate violent boys, but they soon make up. Later, though, when Guilain and Charles end up running against one another in the class elections, Guilain hires a local thug Malik (Booder) to mug Sami and Charles. They manage to escape from Malik and his thugs, but Malik gives Sami a black eye in the process; when Marie sees the black eye, she becomes angry with Sami, thinking he got in a fight again.", "Sami and Charles decide to throw a party in their house, to try to win votes for Charles for the class delegate election. Marie comes to the party and has forgiven Sami, but before they can talk Malik and his friends show up to trash the house. Some friends Sami invited from Chalon (Shaiko Dieng and Pierre Louis Bellet), however, soon arrive, and with their help the partygoers give Malik a beating and chase him and his thugs away. Malik finds Guilain and, thinking Guilain set him up, gives him a beating that sends him to the emergency room. Guilain and his mother encounter Sami's aunt Djamila and uncle Stanislas at the hospital, and tell them that the beating was Sami's fault. Djamila, enraged, returns home and tells Sami she is sending him back to his mother.", "Marie finds Malik and pays him to tell the school headmistress (Josiane Balasko) that he is responsible for Guilain's beating, however he refuses the cash and told her that he had already told the story to the headmistress. The Headmistress informs Djamila, and she forgives Sami. Charles wins the election with the help of a well-written letter to the class, and goes on to meet all of Sami's friends back in Chalon, urging them to remember his name and vote for him in the future. Sami stays in Neuilly-sur-Seine, and begins a romantic relationship with Marie.", "The film's title track was recorded by Faf Larage and Magic System . [ 5 ]", "Cyril Perraudat, reviewing for cinema-france.com, gives the film a score of 5 out of 10, calling it \"a pile of clichés \" (\" un tas de clichés \") and saying it will not be remembered (\" ne restera pas dans les mémoires \"), although he praises Seghir's acting in the role of Sami. [ 6 ] Cine'Magic, in that blog's review, states that the film is boring and too \" déjà-vu \". [ 7 ] Marwan Chahine of Libération magazine, on the other hand, praised the film's political jokes and allusions to political personalities. [ 4 ]"]

["Paranormal Activity is an American supernatural horror franchise consisting of seven films and additional media. Created by Oren Peli , the original film premiered in 2007 and was widely released in 2009.", "The films are typically based around various families who become haunted by an evil demon known as \"Tobi\" that stalks, terrifies and ultimately murders several members of the family and other bystanders during the course of the films. The series makes use of production cameras set up as security cameras or other recording devices in an attempt to present the films as found footage .", "The series has received overall mixed reviews across all films. The first and third films received generally positive critical reception, the second and fifth films received more mixed reviews, and the fourth, sixth and seventh received mostly negative reviews. The series was financially successful, making strong profits based on return on investment . The series as a whole has grossed over thirty times the overall budget.", "Set in October 2006, a young couple, Katie and Micah, who have recently moved to a new house in San Diego , California , are terrorized by a demon that has stalked Katie since childhood. The film is designed to look like a found footage -styled film with Micah filming the activity in their house.", "Set in August to October 2006, beginning two months before the events of the first film, Katie's sister Kristi and her family reside in Carlsbad, California , where they experience strange activity after her baby, named Hunter, is born. The film uses security cameras and in some scenes, a hand-held camera to film the activity in the house.", "Set in September 1988, it focuses on a younger Katie and Kristi, who live with their mother Julie and her boyfriend, Dennis, in Santa Rosa, California . They experience sightings and then encounter \"Tobi\" the demon for the very first time. Concerned, Dennis decides to set up a few cameras around the house with the help of his friend Randy, who also encounters \"Tobi\" as well. There are many cameras set around the house, one of which is attached to a small oscillating fan that moves the camera back and forth from the kitchen area to the living room and vice versa. The film also uses a hand-held camera handled mainly by Dennis.", "Set in November 2011, the film focuses on Alex Nelson and her family residing in a neighborhood in Henderson, Nevada . The family began to experience hauntings, concerning Alex's adopted brother, Wyatt, after Katie and her mysterious son, Robbie, move in across the street. Alex is helped by her boyfriend, Ben, to film the activity via MacBook webcams, a video camera , an iPhone camera and Kinect technology.", "Set in June 2012, the film follows a Latino community in Oxnard, California , where a group of high school graduates deal with the demon of a mysterious cult which has \"marked\" one of them. They document their experiences using basic tools of recording and with clues from the previous films to try to understand what is happening to them. The Marked Ones is the last film in the series to feature Katie Featherston.", "Set in December 2013, the film follows the Fleeges, a family of three who, after having relocated to a house in Santa Rosa, California , discover several tapes, set in 1992, that show Katie and Kristi in the midst of their initiation ritual to enter a demonic coven. The family begins to be haunted by the demon when the daughter, Leila, is targeted as she was born on the same date as Hunter from Paranormal Activity 2 . Along with normal recorders, the family also discovers a unique video recorder that can visibly show supernatural happenings, which they use to record the increasing paranormal activities.", "A seventh and final installment, Next of Kin , [ 1 ] was directed by William Eubank with a script by Christopher Landon . [ 2 ] Originally scheduled for release on March 19, 2021, [ 3 ] the film was delayed to October 29. [ 4 ] Due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema , the project skipped its theatrical release and was instead released via streaming , as a Paramount+ exclusive film. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Set in March 2021, it follows a young woman named Margot who, alongside her small film crew, attempts to make a documentary on an Amish community to try and find out more about Margot's mysterious past, only for them to discover the horrific secrets the town holds.", "First-time director Oren Peli had been afraid of ghosts his whole life, even fearing the comedy film Ghostbusters , but intended to channel that fear into something positive and productive. Peli took a year to prepare his own house for shooting, going so far as to repaint the walls, add furniture, put in a carpet, and build a stairwell. In this time, he also did extensive research into paranormal phenomena and demonology stating, \"We wanted to be as truthful as we could be.\" The decision to make the supernatural entity in the story a demon was a result of the research pointing to the most malevolent and violent entities being \"demons.", "The phenomena in the film take place largely at night—the vulnerability of being asleep, Peli reasoned, taps into a human being's most primal fear, stating, \"If something is lurking in your home there's not much you can do about it.", "Attempting to focus on believability rather than action and gore, Peli chose to shoot the picture with a home video camera. In deciding on a more raw and stationary format (the camera was almost always sitting on a tripod or something else) and eliminating the need for a camera crew, a \"higher degree of plausibility\" was created for the audience and they were \"more invested in the story and the characters\". Peli says that the dialogue was \"natural\" because there was no real script. Instead, the actors were given outlines of the story and situations to improvise, a technique known as \"retroscripting\" used in the making of The Blair Witch Project .", "In casting the movie, Peli auditioned \"a few hundred people\" before finally meeting Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat . He originally auditioned them individually and later called them back to audition together. Peli was impressed with the chemistry between the actors, saying, \"If you saw the footage, you would've thought they had known each other for years.\" During a guest appearance on The Jay Leno Show on November 3, 2009, Sloat and Featherston explained they each saw the casting call on LACasting. Featherston noted they were originally paid $500 for their work.\nThe film was shot out of sequence due to Peli's self-imposed seven-day shooting schedule, though Peli would have preferred the story unfold for the actors as he had envisioned it. Sloat, who controlled the camera for a good deal of the film, was a former cameraman at his university's TV station. \"It was a very intense week\", Peli recalled, stating that the film would be shot day and night, edited at the same time, and would have the visual effects applied to it as the acting footage was being finalized.", "Paramount and DreamWorks hired screenwriter Michael R. Perry to create Paranormal Activity 2 . Oren Peli, the director of the first film, served as a producer for this prequel. Kevin Greutert , director of Saw VI , was initially hired to direct the prequel; however, Lions Gate Entertainment exercised a clause in Greutert's contract to have him direct the final film in the Saw film series . Both of the actors from the first film, Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat, reprise their roles in the prequel . Tod Williams directed Paranormal Activity 2 , which started production in May 2010 and was released in October the same year.", "Paranormal Activity 3 and 4 were directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman , documentary filmmakers who were well known for their feature debut Catfish .

Contract director Seijun Suzuki had previously worked mainly on pop song films, a youth subgenre in which the films were built around an already popular song, and yakuza films with an occasional film noir bent. [ 2 ] It also marked the beginning of his practice of co-writing his films. [ 3 ] Leading man Michitaro Mizushima had also starred in Suzuki's Underworld Beauty two years earlier.

Lydia heavily relies on Francesca, her personal assistant and confidant. While being interviewed by Adam Gopnik at The New Yorker Festival , Lydia promotes her upcoming live recording of Mahler's Fifth Symphony and memoir Tár on Tár . She meets with Eliot Kaplan, an investment banker and amateur conductor who co-founded the Accordion Foundation with Lydia to support aspiring female conductors.

When a student expresses his reluctance to study J. S. Bach 's works due to their social views, she encourages the class to focus on the music and the composer’s contributions rather than his personal life. The debate escalates, and Lydia and the student exchange insults. Later that night Lydia anonymously receives a first edition of Vita Sackville-West 's novel Challenge .

In its second weekend the film made $330,030 from 36 theaters. In its third weekend it made $500,035 from 141 theaters, and there was speculation in the trades that Tár was an example that there was still a place for \"adult-minded fare\".

[ 38 ] Others noted a larger trend in US art houses, 40% of which had permanently shuttered during the COVID-19 pandemic , struggling to regain their core 40–70 year-old audience, an audience more prone to health concerns and still hesitant to return to the cinema. [ 39 ] [ 40 ] The New York Times reported that Tár \"cost at least $35 million including marketing,\" and that it and similar highbrow films from established filmmakers such as Paul Thomas Anderson 's Licorice Pizza , Guillermo del Toro 's Nightmare Alley , and Steven Spielberg 's The Fabelmans had \"failed to find an audience big enough to justify their costs\".

To have an opportunity to portray a woman in that role and to make her an abuser – for me that was heartbreaking.\" [ 56 ] In response, Blanchett told BBC Radio 4 , the film was a \"meditation on power, and power is genderless\", and that while her character shares similarities with Alsop, it is a complete work of fiction. [ 57 ]", "Writing in The Guardian , conductor Alice Farnham thanked Blanchett, Field, and the film for \"taking up the baton for female conductors\", and for normalising their image. [ 58 ] Critic Emily Bootle also defended the film in the i newspaper writing: \"This is a film about power [but] sometimes we have to tolerate grey areas.\" [ 59 ] Film critics Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo also disagreed with the interpretation that Tár is \"anti-woman.\" [ 60 ]", "Writing for Time , Stephanie Zacharek went further: \" Tár doesn't offer anything as comfortable as redemption, and it asks us to fall in love, at least a little, with a tyrant. ... Lydia Tár ... knows that the power of a question is greater than that of a slogan.\" [ 61 ]", "Music professor Ian Pace discussed the issue in The Conversation : \"It would be rash to assume that such a figure could never act in a predatory and exploitative manner. This is not just an issue of identity, but power and the opportunities it provides for the reckless.\" [ 62 ] Conductor Don Baton (a pen name) in City Journal agreed. [ 63 ]", "Film critic John McDonald for the Australian Financial Review wrote: \"Had it been a male conductor, the story would have been a cliché. Had it been a celebration of female power, it would have been no less superficial ...

[ 66 ]", "Yo Yo Ma told indiewire \"Todd has created such a striking film. Cate Blanchett’s Lydia Tár demands that we wrestle with two of art’s most difficult questions: what gives art its power and what role does power play in art?\" [ 67 ]", "In her critique for The New York Review of Books titled \"The Instrumentalist\", prize-winning novelist and professor Zadie Smith commended Cate Blanchett's performance, [ 68 ] and the classroom scene at the Juilliard School was described by A.

Tár offers up a work into which we can sublimate our own Schadenfreude and sympathy for abusers.

[ 75 ]", "The New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg argued that Tár is \"a film about cancel culture , making it the rare piece of art that looks squarely at this social phenomenon that has roiled so many of America's meaning-making institutions ... Tár demonstrates that all this flux and uncertainty is very fertile territory for art. Hopefully its success – many are predicting it will win a Best Picture Oscar – will encourage others to take on similarly thorny and unsettled issues. Hysteria about cancel culture can encourage artistic timidity by overstating the cost of probing taboos. In truth, there's a hunger out there for work that takes the strangeness of this time and turns it into something that transcends polemic.\" [ 76 ] Similarly, Ara Osterweil in Art Forum wrote, \"Todd Field's brilliant character study (...) suggest(s) that the ritual excommunications of cancel culture may be as exaggerated as the generic fantasies enacted by Tár’s gamer audience.\" [ 77 ]", "Austrian musicologist and anthropologist Bernd Brabec alleged that part of Lydia Tár's biography read aloud by Adam Gopnik mines his CV . [ 78 ] [ 79 ] In response, Brabec wrote an open letter [ 80 ] to director Todd Field. In the letter, Brabec takes offence at the film mirroring particulars of his academic background and criticizes what he characterized as unfortunately minimal and shallow treatment of the Shipibo-Konibo people in the plot of the film. However, Amanda M. Smith, associate professor of Latin American and Culture at the University of California wrote in ReVista , the Harvard Review of Latin America, \"Shipibo-Konibo cosmovision is not merely decorative in the film. It organizes the narrative's internal conflicts and reveals Tár as a tale of shamanic justice in a world where the Global North continues to take from the Global South.\" [ 81 ]", "Because the film was released in the United Kingdom in January 2023, Tár was included in Sight and Sound ' s Best Films of 2023, [ 82 ] and sat atop the polls of New Statesman [ 83 ] and Time Out , with Phil de Semlyen of Time Out writing \"Blanchett's Oscar-nominated performance has rightly earned the lion's share of plaudits, but the superb acting is buoyed by Field's subtly off-kilter visual style, lending the 'ripped from the headlines' narrative a hint of Kubrickian uncanniness.\" [ 84 ] The Guardian also chose Tár as best film of the year, with critic Wendy Ide writing, “Todd Field's creation of the magnificent, monstrous fictional conductor Lydia Tár, inhabited down to the last shred of cruelty and ambition by the remarkable Cate Blanchett, is exceptional: a savage, slippery account of rampant narcissism brought down to earth.” [ 85 ] In April 2024 the historian Simon Heffer , expressing his opinion in The Sunday Telegraph , wrote Tár is \"the finest American film of the century.\" [ 86 ]", "The March 2023 issue of New York magazine listed Tár alongside Citizen Kane , Sunset Boulevard , Dr. Strangelove , Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid , The Conversation , Nashville , Taxi Driver , The Elephant Man , Pulp Fiction , There Will Be Blood , Roma , and In the Bedroom , also directed by Field, as \"The Best Movies That Lost Best Picture at the Oscars\". [ 87 ]", "The March 2024 issue of IndieWire listed Tár , and In the Bedroom , also directed by Field, as \"Best Picture Nominees that Deserved to win the Oscar\", stating, \"Todd Field's portrait of the talent and ego of a world-renowned conductor is some of the most riveting and ambitious filmmaking in recent memory. Tár feels like a movie people will be talking about and debating long after the ceremony where it lost fades from memory.\" [ 88 ] The June 2025 issue ranked the film at number 4 on its list of \"The 100 Best Movies of the 2020s (So Far).\" [ 6 ]", "In June 2025, filmmaker Matthew Weiner named it one of his favorite films of the 21st century. [ 7 ] That same month, it ranked at number 67 on The New York Times ' list of \"The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century.\" [ 7 ]", "Among other accolades, Tár received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture , Best Director , Best Actress for Blanchett, Best Original Screenplay , Best Cinematography , and Best Film Editing .

[ 1 ] [ 4 ] It was released in Japan by Toho on September 10, 2016. [ 2 ]", "Kōsei Arima is a piano prodigy who has won many awards due to his precision, timing, and ability to switch between tempos easily, earning him the moniker \"the human metronome \". He achieved so much because he was meticulously taught by his terminally ill mother, Saki, who was abusive and demanding. When, as a seven-year-old, she slapped him after a victory that she deemed unwarranted, he declared his refusal to play the piano ever again and wished that she died. Indeed, Saki died the following day; this caused Kōsei to experience a mental breakdown during a recital, making him unable to hear sounds from the piano. Since then, Kōsei quit playing piano in public.", "Ten years later, [ a ] in April, Kōsei is invited by his childhood friends Tsubaki Sawabe and Ryōta Watari to go on a double date with them and Kaori Miyazono, whom Tsubaki says is attracted to Watari. Kaori, as it turns out, is a bubbly children-loving violinist. She plays the violin in an unorthodox manner, refusing to follow the cues and instead creating her own flow that nevertheless impresses the audience. One of her competitions requires a pianist to accompany her, so Kaori forces Kōsei to come out of retirement and accompany her. During the competition, Kōsei experiences a breakdown again, but Kaori encourages him to restart the recital, despite the fact that it will disqualify her. He succeeds and while Kaori is disqualified, the organizers invited her to play at a gala concert. For the gala, Kaori picks Love's Sorrow , a piece that Saki used to play as a lullaby for her son. Kōsei is initially hesitant, but his mother's pianist friend, Hiroko Seto, tells him that it would be a good chance to prove to his mother what a pianist he has become.", "During the concert, Kaori is unexpectedly hospitalized, so Kōsei plays the piece as a piano solo. Kaori is later discharged and, as a punishment for not visiting her in the hospital, forces Kōsei to be Watari's \"substitute\" for a date the two had planned. The two visit the school that night, where Kaori reveals that she had lied about the date, as she is still hospitalized but does not want her illness to make her helpless. When she faints, Kōsei takes her to the hospital but otherwise is unable to say anything else. Watari correctly deduces that Kōsei is in love with Kaori and encourages him to meet and confess to her. Meanwhile, Tsubaki anguishedly declares her own love for Kōsei and reveals that she agreed to introduce Kaori because she hoped that would make Kōsei turn to her. Afterwards, Kōsei confesses to Kaori as the two share a meal on the hospital rooftop. He also tells her that he will join a piano competition for the first time in ten years. Hearing that he wishes to play music with her again, Kaori decides to undergo a risky surgery scheduled on the day of Kōsei's contest. During the competition, Kōsei is aided by an apparition of Kaori playing violin alongside him.", "In spring of the following year, Kōsei opens a letter written by Kaori, who did not survive the surgery. He learns that Kaori had been admiring him since they were young children and had decided to study violin so she could someday play music with him. When she learned that her illness was terminal , she transformed her image and personality drastically so as to avoid having regrets.

However, Vijay witnesses this and runs to tell his mother. He conjures up a story about Latha having stolen his wife's jewellery. Hearing this, Anand becomes suspicious of Latha.

Fortunately, Anand learns about Vijay's malicious plan.", "Anand confesses his ignorance and apologises. But Latha does not forgive him. Anand loses his composure and becomes seriously ill.

The story begins when Natsuki Enomoto confesses to her childhood friend Yu Setoguchi. The movie cuts to its opening, Blooming into the Color of Love (\"Koi-iro ni Sake\"). After the opening, an embarrassed Natsuki denies her love for Yu and calls it a \"practice confession.\" The next day Natsuki is confronted by her friends, Akari Hayasaka and Mio Aida, and admits her failed confession. Her friends cheer her on and discuss Mio's love life; Mio has feelings for her close friend Haruki Serizawa. Although Mio and Natsuki are having problems confessing their love, Akari remains untroubled by the possibility of unrequited love. However, she is the main focus of a boy in her class named Sota Mochizuki, who has been in love with her since the opening ceremony of school. Sota, nicknamed Mochita by his friends, has never talked to Akari and constantly has conversations with his devilish conscience about whether to confess his love. As Sota is feeling alone in his battle to tell Akari, he notices that one of his classmates, Koyuki Ayase, is secretly in love with Natsuki. Koyuki has changed his look, no longer wearing glasses and having cut his hair.", "After school, Natsuki goes over to Yu's house and plays videos game with his sister, Hina Setoguchi. When Yu arrives home they begin studying and Natsuki asks Yu what he would do if she got a boyfriend. He responds he would support her, even though he is secretly in love with her. The next day Sota musters up the courage to say good morning to Akari and tells her about her bedhead, making it the first time they have spoken to one another. She tells him it is their little secret and he falls in love with her more, pondering who she could like. At lunch, Natsuki, Mio, and Akari are talking about their guy troubles when Koyuki gives Natsuki tickets to a HoneyWorks concert. Ecstatic, she accepts and chases after him to ask him questions about merchandise while her friends question if the concert is a date or not. After school, Natsuki decides not to hang out with Yu and instead picks out her outfit for the concert. Natsuki's brother, Kotaro Enomoto, asks about Hina, whom he likes, and Natsuki teases him which results in bickering. The scene shifts to Yu's home where he is eating dinner with Hina. Hina comments on Kotaro's temper and how he will never get a girlfriend.", "The next morning Yu is returning a DVD to Natsuki and learns about her concert date with Koyuki. The two fight about her outfit, but are actually fighting about their relationship. Natsuki goes to the concert and has a great time until one of the songs (Diagnosis: Lovesickness (\"Byoumei Koi Wazura\")) makes her realize she is in love with Yu. Koyuki walks her home and notices Natsuki looking at Yu's house. Thinking about Natsuki and Yu's previous fight, Koyuki hugs Natsuki and tries to confess, saying he would not make her sad as Yu had. Koyuki is interrupted by Yu and the two argue about their hidden feelings in front of Natsuki, who begins to cry. Yu ends the conversation by leading Natsuki home. That night, Yu tries but fails to text Natsuki about his feelings. The next morning before school, the two pretend as if nothing has happened and walk together. Once at school, Koyuki apologizes to Natsuki.", "On a train to school, Sota, still thinking over Akari, sees a trio of students from another school and gives up his seat to one of them and heads over to the next train car. Akari, riding on the same train, notices his act of kindness. Later during lunch, Sota gets motivation from Koyuki and musters his courage to confess his love to Akari; she accepts his confession and they walk to a cake shop after school.", "Meanwhile, Haruki gets advice from their teacher, Mr. Akechi, about his feelings for Mio. Natsuki recalls a memory of witnessing a first-year student delivering an unsuccessful confession to Yu. Troubled, Natsuki goes to Mio for advice. Afterward, she musters her own personal courage and tells Yu to wait for her. The next day after school, she gathers her courage and confesses, but Yu still thinks that he was not the one she loves. He tells her she passed her confession rehearsal and wishes her luck in the real one. As he is about to leave, he is confronted by a crying Natsuki who finally tells him that the practice was a lie and her confessions were actually real. Yu embraces her, telling her that he accepts her feelings. The ending credits, Our Fraction of a Second (\"Ippun Ichibyou Kimi to Boku no\"), plays.", "In the mid-credits, Koyuki silently congratulates Natsuki in the background for finally confessing to Yu and getting accepted. Meanwhile, Hina is seen standing at the school lockers holding a letter, possibly a love letter that was meant for someone. After the credits, Natsuki barges into Yu's bedroom and wakes him, questioning his feelings for her since he didn't explicitly say that he loves her. After much pestering, Yu admits that he loves her. Natsuki is flustered and scolds him for saying it so abruptly, but happily hugs him.", "The chief animation director and character designer is Maki Fujii.

He and his men arrive in time to beat off Frisian raiders who leave behind a boy, the son of their leader, who conceals his identity. Chrysagon encounters Bronwyn, his future love, as she is being harassed by his own men. Gradually he finds himself falling for the girl he has rescued. Odins, the village chief, later asks Chrysagon's permission for Bronwyn to marry Odins' son Marc, to whom Bronwyn has been betrothed since childhood. Chrysagon approves, but soon regrets the decision. He wants Bronwyn for himself.", "He later learns that the pagan practice of \" droit du seigneur \", though condemned by the church, still survives. Bronwyn and Marc are married in church and also in a riotous pagan celebration. Chrysagon appears at the latter to claim the right of the lord to sleep with a virgin on her wedding night. While three men restrain Marc, Odins declares that Chrysagon has the right, but all must be done according to the ancient ways, which are rooted in the sacrifice of a virgin to ensure fruitful harvests. Otherwise it is rape. Chrysagon agrees to the Druid way, to prepare a ring of fire in a high place, with his men “wearing iron and standing.” Bronwyn will be brought at the rising of the moon and reclaimed at sunrise.", "Odins leads the torchlit procession past Chrysagon's men standing as an armed guard, to the chamber at the top of the keep. He tells her she can go but confesses his love for her. She loves him too. Odins comforts his son.", "Bronwyn and Chrysagon watch the sunrise. He puts his father's ring on her hand and tells his brother he will not give her up.", "Marc admits that Chrysagon had the right but he and the villagers are outraged when Bronwyn is not returned. They do not realize that she is staying of her own free will.", "The village sends Marc to contact the Frisians, with evidence that the boy is alive. Bronwyn and Chrysagon are on top of the keep . He talks of carrying her to a far place, after his duty to his Duke is done. They see the Frisians hacking at the drawbridge and sound the alarm. Chrysagon climbs down to attack them, wearing only his braies .", "The raiders lay siege to the place, nearly all the village is with them. They call for the boy. Draco demands ransom. Later he leaves, alone, perhaps for help.", "The besiegers bring up a battering ram . Lacking a grappling hook , Bors slides down to retrieve the anchor of a boat. They use it to overturn the battering ram into the moat . That night, sheltering behind hurdles , the Frisians set fire to the doors. The defenders use hot oil, which burns up the drawbridge.", "The Friesians and villagers build a siege tower , with a bridge that will carry them to the top of the keep. Suddenly, huge boulders and balls of fire descend on the siege tower. It is Draco, come with help from the Duke, including a catapult . He has also been given the demesne . He attacks Chrysagon, who stabs him unwillingly in the struggle. Draco falls to his death.", "Chrysagon takes the boy to the Frisian camp. The leader offers him a place with them, and sanctuary for Bronwyn, who Chrysagon calls “my lady”. Chrysagon plans to go to the Duke and mend things for the people. But Marc jumps from a high tree wielding a sickle , wounding Chrysagon under his arm and running for Bronwyn, he is knocked over by Bors and becomes impaled on a tree branch.

But he asserts the film's presentation of paganism among the serfs is an extreme exaggeration, and that the key \"custom\" of \" droit du seigneur \" was mythical. He criticizes the film's romanticizing of \"what is, essentially, rape,\" adding that—while such rapes have happened, at the time—they lacked any legal standing. [ 4 ]"]

["The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (stylised on-screen as simply The Water Horse ) is a 2007 fantasy film directed by Jay Russell and written by Robert Nelson Jacobs , based on Dick King-Smith 's children's novel The Water Horse . It stars Alex Etel as a young boy who discovers a mysterious egg and cares for what hatches out of it: a \" water horse \" (loosely based on the Celtic water horse ) which later becomes the fabled Loch Ness Monster . The film also stars Emily Watson , Ben Chaplin and David Morrissey .", "The film was produced by Revolution Studios and Walden Media , in collaboration with Beacon Pictures , and was distributed by Columbia Pictures . Visual effects were completed by the New Zealand –based companies Weta Digital and Weta Workshop . [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The Water Horse was released in the United States on 25 December 2007 and in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2008. [ 6 ]", "In present-day Scotland , a couple of American tourists meet an old man who, upon request (after seeing the surgeon's photo ) tells them about the Loch Ness Monster and why the photo is a fake.", "In 1942 during World War II , a boy named Angus MacMorrow lives in the manor house of Lord Killin on Loch Ness with his mother Anne MacMorrow and his sister, Kirstie. Lewis Mowbray comes to work as a handyman there. Angus' father Charles, the former handyman, is a sailor in the Royal Navy , missing since his ship was sunk in the war a year earlier. Angus is unable to accept that he won't return.", "One day, while collecting seashells, Angus discovers a large, mysterious egg in the tide pool , and an unknown creature hatches, which he calls 'Crusoe' after Robinson Crusoe . He decides to keep the creature a secret, eventually telling his sister and Lewis. Lewis explains that it is a genderless \" Water Horse \" that lays one egg, then dies before it hatches.", "Royal Artillery troops arrive at the house, commanded by Captain Thomas Hamilton – a friend of Lord Killin. An artillery battery is set up near the lake to defend against German U-boats while the troops set up on the grounds. Meanwhile, Lewis decides Crusoe is so big they have to free it in the loch.", "Captain Hamilton proclaims Lewis to be a bad influence, and Angus' mother allows him to teach Angus some discipline. After a few days of training, he escapes, returning to the lake and a full-grown Crusoe, who gets Angus to ride on its back. After some time, it begins to dive. Angus protests diving, later enjoys himself and finally overcomes his phobia.", "The next day, Captain Hamilton takes the MacMorrow family to a hill overlooking Loch Ness; Crusoe is almost hit by an exploding shell during a firing demonstration. Angus interrupts to save Crusoe from injury or death, enraging Hamilton and irritating his mother, who doesn't believe him. He is punished, having to be in his room at six every night for a month.", "Two fishermen who had seen Crusoe, try to take a photo of the creature for fame and fortune. When they can't photograph the real thing due to the bombardment, they create an imitation. (The result is the real-life faked photo of The Loch Ness Monster known as \" The Surgeon's Photo \".) It interests a few soldiers, who go out to hunt it.", "Sneaking out of his room with his sister's help, Angus visits the lake, calling for Crusoe. Crusoe rises, still in shock and fear from the earlier bombardment, nearly bites off Angus's hand before sinking back into the loch. Hamilton's dog Churchill, having smelled Crusoe from the shore, alerts the soldiers of its presence before being eaten by Crusoe. Crusoe then surprises the soldiers, capsizing their boat but not before one of them sends out an SOS to Hamilton, who thinks the Germans are attacking. At the loch, Angus calls out to Crusoe, who is attacking Strunk. In his attempt to calm Crusoe, Angus wades into the lake, slips and sinks.", "Crusoe rescues Angus and Lewis revives him. When his mother arrives, she finally believes him when she sees Crusoe. The nearby artillery battery soon opens fire upon Crusoe, mistaking it for a German U-boat. Angus, Hamilton, Anne and Lewis lead Crusoe to safety at the net, where Crusoe escapes into the sea.", "At sunrise, Angus finally accepts his father is dead before they watch Crusoe go. It is implied that Anne is also ready to move on, having fallen in love with Lewis. Over the years, several people claim spotting it but Angus never sees Crusoe again while others say that it returns, seeking Angus.", "The tourists thank the old storyteller and ask for his name, which he reveals to be Angus MacMorrow. Outside the pub, a mother calls out to her son William, who is walking down the beach. He spots a large \"rock\", which has an iridescent blue shell just like Crusoe's, hinting that Crusoe has left a descendant behind to become the next Water Horse.", "Director Jay Russell first read Dick King-Smith's book years before the film was actually made. \"With the technology where it was at the time and the cost of that technology, we couldn't get it made then,\" said Russell. \"Technology needed to catch up. It did, and it allowed us to do things I envisioned without it costing $300 million.\" [ 7 ]", "Filming took place in 2006 in New Zealand , Scotland and at Miramar Studios in Wellington . Most of the film was shot in New Zealand, with Queenstown's Lake Wakatipu doubling for a Scottish Loch. The filmmakers found that some of the landscape and geography there was similar to Scotland. However Russell said, \"There was no way I was going to make a movie about the Loch Ness monster and not shoot at least part of it in Scotland.\" [ 8 ]", "The scenes in and around the MacMorrow family's house were shot on the 100-year-old Ardkinglas Estate on the shores of Loch Fyne in Scotland. The owners of the estate continued to live in the house while the crew was filming there. [ 9 ]", "Visual effects on the film were handled by New Zealand visual effects specialists Weta Digital and Weta Workshop who mainly did Crusoe . Most of the roughly 600 effects shots in the film involved Crusoe. And many of those shots involved the creature (Crusoe) interacting with water, which, in terms of the history of computer graphics , has always been a particularly difficult substance to deal with. [ 10 ] \nIn terms of the design of the creature, Weta Digital tried to not humanise him but instead based some of his expressions on real animals such as a dog. \"We wanted to create something which seemed familiar, but was unique at the same time,\" said Russell. \"As a result, Crusoe's face is a combination of a horse, a dog, an eagle and a giraffe .\" [ 11 ] When creating his movements and body shape at various stages of growth, the animators referenced animals ranging from baby birds to seals to whales . [ 10 ]", "The score was composed by James Newton Howard . Sinéad O'Connor contributed to the soundtrack with \"Back Where You Belong\".", "The Water Horse was formerly scheduled for two different release dates in North America: 21 September 2007 and 7 December 2007. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] No reason has been given as to why either date was dropped, but the film was released across 2,772 screens [ 14 ] in the United States, Canada and Mexico on Christmas Day of 2007. [ 15 ] The MPAA rated the film PG for some action and peril, mild language and brief smoking. [ 16 ]", "Many release dates ranging from January 2008 to April 2008 were set for worldwide audiences including the United Kingdom (8 February), France (13 February), Russia (6 March) and India (4 April). [ 15 ]", "A promotional poster for the film, featuring silhouettes of Etel's character and Crusoe on the loch, was seen as early as June 2006 during the New York Licensing Show alongside promotional art for the Disney Fairies and Kung Fu Panda . [ 17 ] Another poster that features Etel's character with Crusoe on the loch during the daytime was released in October 2007. [ 18 ] Two teaser trailers were released in quick succession in June 2007. The first was a teaser created specifically for the Rock Ness Music Festival on 9 and 10 June, [ 19 ] but was leaked onto the internet and later pulled. [ 20 ] A different trailer [ 21 ] was released to Yahoo.com on 22 June 2007 and became the official teaser. [ 22 ] Internet promotion includes several different official different websites in the English (with individual websites for the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia), Spanish, [ 23 ] French [ 24 ] and Russian [ 25 ] languages. They were launched by Sony in early November 2007 and feature photos, video clips, a video blog, games and information on the film's plot and production. [ 26 ] Another website was created by the film's production companies, asecretthisbig.com, and is dedicated to the examination of the Loch Ness Monster 's existence in reality. [ 27 ] Additionally, the film has a YouTube account which features the video blogs from the official website, as well as additional video content. [ 28 ] Two sweepstakes were created for The Water Horse . The first, \"See It To Believe It,\" awarded the winner with a family trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific . The second, \"Unloch the Legend\" awarded the winner with a family trip to Scotland. [ 29 ] A 15-meter \"water screen\" was used to project a moving image, with sound, of the Water Horse in Tokyo Bay . [ 30 ]", "The film received generally positive reviews from critics. As of 2024, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 74% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 90 reviews with an average rating of 6.7/10, classifying the film as \"fresh\", reaching the consensus that \" The Water Horse is a fine family film. It takes a classic tale and infuses it with extra imagination, sly humor, heart, and inventive special effects.\" [ 31 ] Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 71 out of 100, based on 24 reviews, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\". [ 32 ] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of \"A-\" on an A+ to F scale. [ 33 ]", "Pete Hammond of Maxim magazine gave the film 4 stars out of 5, saying \"It's not only the perfect holiday movie, but perhaps the most wondrous film of its kind since E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial touched down.\" Hammond said the character Angus is \"expertly played by Alex Etel,\" said the film was \"skillfully directed by Jay Russell\", and said the special effects were \"stunning\" and \"rival the year's best.\" [ 34 ] RogerEbert.com awarded the film three and a half stars out of four, complimenting the film's \"real story about complex people\" and the \"first rate supporting performances\" of Emily Watson , Ben Chaplin and Brian Cox .

During their escape, Frank's assistant becomes infected and is used as fuel.", "Barry, Benny, and Frank discover zombies stop breathing flammable gas at night, enabling them to run faster. As they hole up in the truck overnight, Frank says he believes the zombies resulted from the meteor shower; as told in the Bible, a star called Wyrmwood has fallen, making part of the world bitter. After waking up from a nightmare, Barry catches a zombie on fire and accidentally sets the truck's compressor alight. While putting out the fire, Frank is bitten and asks Barry to shoot him; Barry does. The next day, Barry and Benny encounter paramilitaries in an electric-powered truck.

Mad Max , from its Gothic-looking helmets, masks and weapons to its retro-fitted vehicles, Wyrmwood looks and plays a lot better than its $160,000 budget suggests.\" [ 18 ]", "In February 2015, a plan for a sequel was announced, with a potential return of the original actors Jay Gallagher, Bianca Bradey, Leon Burchill, Luke McKenzie, and Yure Covich. The release was proposed for early 2017, after the release of a “mental ghost\" film, from Kiah & Tristan Roache-Turner. [ 19 ]", "The Roache-Turner brothers later announced that, due to the positive response to the film, their next project would in fact be the Wyrmwood sequel, in the form of a 10-episode TV series titled Wyrmwood: Chronicles of the Dead . The team released a short teaser for the series on 19 May 2017, featuring Gallagher and Bradey reprising their roles as Barry and Brooke. [ 20 ] The brothers also worked on a sci-fi horror film, Nekrotronic , as they developed the series.", "In August 2020, funding was announced for a sequel titled Wyrmwood Apocalypse . Set in a post-apocalyptic world, this film follows soldier Rhys on an arc of redemption as he turns against his evil bosses to join forces with a group of rebel survivors. Together they help save a little girl's sister from death at the hands of the military. [ 21 ]", "The sequel Wyrmwood: Apocalypse was released in 2021."]

Veer divulges that the bank is planning to move the money out by train the following night. Cassidy plans to rob the train. Veer turns out to be a Pinkerton agent and goes to the telegraph office at Broken Bow to send a message to the agency to alert the sheriff and put a posse on the train. However, Cassidy is one step ahead and had already got to the telegraph operator, having forced him to send a bogus message. Cassidy then kills the operator. Meanwhile Brady, having second thoughts about returning to a life of crime, attempts to stop the robbery. Veer admits to Brady that he is a Pinkerton agent and still believes there will be a posse on the train. The robbery goes ahead, but there is neither posse nor money on the train. Cassidy kills Veer and takes Nancy hostage. Brady tries to escape with Nancy, but both are recaptured by Cassidy. Believing the money is still at the bank in Broken Bow, Cassidy plans another raid. But knowing the sheriff will be waiting with a posse, he persuades Nancy to send the sheriff off on the wrong trail, or he will kill Brady. She agrees and the sheriff and his men ride out of town. Cassidy and the gang raid the town, but Nancy has mustered the womenfolk and the robbery fails. Most of the gang are killed and Cassidy is captured. Brady and Nancy are re-united."]

["Wyatt Earp is a 1994 American epic biographical Western drama film about the lawman of the same name . Directed by Lawrence Kasdan , who co-wrote the screenplay with Dan Gordon , the film follows Earp from his early life to his career as a marshal and his involvement in the O.K. Corral gunfight . [ 4 ] It features an ensemble cast led by Kevin Costner as Earp, with Gene Hackman , Mark Harmon , Michael Madsen , Bill Pullman , Dennis Quaid , Isabella Rossellini , Tom Sizemore , JoBeth Williams , and Mare Winningham in supporting roles.", "The film was developed in competition with Tombstone , another adaptation of Earp's life and the O.K. Corral gunfight that came out six months earlier. Released on June 24, 1994, Wyatt Earp received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances and Kasdan's direction, but criticized the three-hour runtime and unfavorably compared it to Tombstone . [ 5 ] It was a box office failure , grossing $55.9 million on a $63 million budget. [ 6 ]", "During the American Civil War , teenaged Wyatt Earp lives on his family's farm in Pella, Iowa , while his older brothers Virgil and James serve with the Union Army . Wyatt attempts to run away, intending to lie about his age and join his brothers in the war, but his father catches him. His brothers return home at the war's end, with James gravely wounded, and the family moves west to start over. Wyatt sees a man being shot dead in a duel and vomits at the sight.", "Years later, a teenaged Wyatt works as a wagon driver and earns extra money by acting as a referee for boxing matches. A bully tries to shoot him after a drunken argument, but Wyatt disarms him, taking his gun. Returning home to Missouri , Wyatt marries his childhood sweetheart, Urilla Sutherland. They move into their own house, and he begins working as a lawman. Months later, his pregnant wife dies from typhoid fever . After staying by her side through the illness, Wyatt becomes deeply depressed. Burning their home and possessions, he begins drinking and drifts from town to town, landing in Pine Bluff, Arkansas . He robs a man and steals his horse but is quickly arrested. With Wyatt facing certain hanging, his father bails him out of jail, telling him to never return to Arkansas.", "Working as a buffalo hunter, Wyatt befriends Bat Masterson and his brother Ed Masterson . Years pass, and Wyatt becomes a deputy marshal in Wichita, Kansas , building a reputation as a man unafraid to enforce the law. He is recruited to work for the police force in Dodge City , with a lower salary but earning extra money for every arrest. Wyatt becomes romantically involved with a prostitute, Mattie Blaylock , and persuades the Mastersons to come on as his deputies. Wyatt believes Ed is too passive, but the Dodge City council fires Wyatt for repeated complaints of excessive force , appointing Ed to take his place. Wyatt starts working for the railroad to catch robbers.", "Pursuing outlaw Dave Rudabaugh , Wyatt is introduced to gunman and gambler Doc Holliday in Fort Griffin, Texas , and the two become friends. Holliday assists Earp in locating Rudabaugh, whom he dislikes tremendously. Wyatt receives word that Ed has been killed, having shot and killed both his assailants before dying in the street. Wyatt returns to Dodge City and soon after kills his first man, witnessed by actress Josie Marcus . Despite his brothers' wives' and Mattie's protests, Wyatt moves the family to Tombstone, Arizona and immediately finds himself at odds with the outlaw Cowboy gang. He becomes romantically involved with Josie Marcus, angering her boyfriend Sheriff Behan and stressing his relationship with Mattie, and becomes the subject of rumor about town.", "Wyatt and his brothers Morgan and Virgil arrest several Cowboys, and Virgil assumes the post of head marshal following the murder of Fred White by Curly Bill Brocius . Tension builds between the brothers and the gang as Wyatt breaks up several altercations involving the Cowboys, particularly Ike Clanton , and Holliday swears his loyalty to Wyatt, whom he considers his only real friend. The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral makes the brothers very unpopular in town as many citizens feel that they deliberately provoked the shootout. Virgil is ambushed and wounded, and Morgan is killed. In the Vendetta Ride , Wyatt forms a posse with his friends to hunt down and take revenge against the remaining Cowboys.", "Many years later, Wyatt and Josie mine for gold in Alaska . A young man on the same boat recognizes Wyatt and recounts a story in which Wyatt had saved the boy's uncle, \" Tommy Behind-The-Deuce \". Wyatt says to Josie, \"Some people say it didn't happen that way\", to which she responds, \"Never mind them, Wyatt. It happened that way.\" An epilogue states that Holliday died six years later in a hospital in Glenwood Springs, Colorado . Members of the Clanton gang continued to die mysteriously for years after Morgan's murder. Josie and Wyatt remain together for 47 years until Wyatt died at age 80 in Los Angeles .", "Costner was originally involved with the film Tombstone , another film about Wyatt Earp, written by Kevin Jarre of Glory . However, Costner disagreed with Jarre over the focus of the film (he believed that the emphasis should have been on Wyatt Earp rather than the many characters in Jarre's script) and left the project, eventually teaming up with Kasdan to produce his own Wyatt Earp project. The film was also originally meant to be a six-hour miniseries until Kevin Costner joined the cast. Costner proceeded to use his then-considerable clout to convince most of the major studios to refuse to distribute the competing film, which affected casting on the rival project. [ 7 ]", "Principal photography began on July 19 and ended on December 15, 1993.", "The score was composed by James Newton Howard , conducted by Marty Paich with The Hollywood Recording Musicians Orchestra and released by Warner Bros.

[ 3 ]", "Later Dennis Quaid said:", "On Rotten Tomatoes the film has a score of 31%, based on 86 reviews, with an average rating of 5.4/10. The site's consensus states: \"Easy to admire yet difficult to love, Wyatt Earp buries eye-catching direction and an impressive cast in an undisciplined and overlong story.\" [ 5 ] On Metacritic , the film has a score of 47 out of 100 based on 20 reviews, indicating \"mixed or average reviews\". [ 12 ]", "Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 2 out of 4 stars, saying \" Wyatt Earp plays as if they took Tombstone and pumped it full of hot air. It involves many of the same characters and much of the same story, but little of the tension and drama. It's a rambling, unfocused biography of Wyatt Earp (Kevin Costner), starting when he's a kid and following his development from an awkward would-be lawyer into a slick gunslinger. This is a long journey, in a three-hour film that needs better pacing.\" [ 13 ]", "Todd McCarthy of Variety praised the cast and production values, but remarked, \"If you're going to ask an audience to sit through a three-hour, nine-minute rendition of an oft-told story, it would help to have a strong point of view on your material and an urgent reason to relate it. Such is not the case with Wyatt Earp .\" [ 14 ] Similarly, Caryn James of The New York Times complimented the film's ambition and effort to portray a more human Wyatt, but still felt that \"the film's literal-minded approach to the hero's dark soul is one of its terrible problems. 'Wyatt Earp' labors to turn this mythic figure into a complex man; instead it makes him a cardboard cutout and his story a creepingly slow one.\" [ 15 ]", "Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade \"B+\" on scale of A to F.

It's a rambling, unfocused biography of Wyatt Earp (Kevin Costner), starting when he's a kid and following his development from an awkward would-be lawyer into a slick gunslinger.

Such is not the case with Wyatt Earp .\" [ 14 ] Similarly, Caryn James of The New York Times complimented the film's ambition and effort to portray a more human Wyatt, but still felt that \"the film's literal-minded approach to the hero's dark soul is one of its terrible problems. 'Wyatt Earp' labors to turn this mythic figure into a complex man; instead it makes him a cardboard cutout and his story a creepingly slow one.\" [ 15 ]", "Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade \"B+\" on scale of A to F.

["Wyatt Earp's Revenge is a 2012 American Western film about the legendary lawman Wyatt Earp . [ 1 ]", "It is a fictionalized account of an actual Old West event, the slaying of beautiful singer Dora Hand in Dodge City, Kansas, when Earp was a deputy there. In one of its many instances of dramatic license, the movie depicts Hand as Earp's sweetheart. The film's framing device is a reporter's interview with an aging Earp, who reminisces about the tragedy. (Val Kilmer plays the older Earp, while Shawn Roberts plays the younger one.) The film was released on March 6, 2012, in the United States. The film was produced by Jeff Schenck and Barry Barnholtz and directed by Michael Feifer. The screenplay was written by Darren Benjamin Shepherd.", "Wyatt Earp sits down with a reporter in a suite at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco in 1907. The reporter is eager for information about the legendary \" Buntline Special \", a Colt six-shooter with a 12-inch barrel. He and Earp talk about how Earp became a famous lawman. Earp tells the story of how he became a fearless United States Marshal . In a flashback, a 30-year-old Wyatt Earp (Roberts) finds out that his first love, Dora Hand (DeGarmo), was murdered. He tracks the murderer down and teams up with Bat Masterson (Dallas), Charlie Bassett (Whyte) and Bill Tilghman (Fiehler)."]

["Wuthering Heights is a 2011 British Gothic romantic drama film directed by Andrea Arnold starring Kaya Scodelario as Catherine Earnshaw and James Howson as Heathcliff . The screenplay written by Arnold and Olivia Hetreed , is based on Emily Brontë 's 1847 novel of the same name .", "Heathcliff is found on the streets of Liverpool and brought back to Wuthering Heights on the Yorkshire Moors. The plot largely follows that of the book Wuthering Heights , but concentrates on the childhood and adolescence of its two main characters of Heathcliff and Catherine. Heathcliff is bullied and \"whipped like a slave\", as he is played by a multiracial actor which befits the original description of Heathcliff in the book. [ 4 ] [ 5 ]", "Announced in April 2008, Natalie Portman was originally set to star as Cathy in a new film adaptation of the novel, but she withdrew in May. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] In May 2008, director John Maybury cast Michael Fassbender as Heathcliff and Abbie Cornish as Cathy. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] However, in May 2009, Peter Webber was announced as the new director, with Ed Westwick and Gemma Arterton attached to play Heathcliff and Cathy respectively. [ 10 ] However, the film did not get off the ground and in January 2010, it was announced that Andrea Arnold would direct the adaptation. [ 11 ] In April, she cast Kaya Scodelario as Catherine, [ 12 ] a more age-appropriate choice than previous adaptations. [ 13 ]", "Due to Brontë's description of Heathcliff as a \"dark-skinned gypsy in aspect\" and \"a little Lascar \", Arnold searched for an actor from the UK's Romani community. However, the community had some doubts. [ 14 ] The search was then expanded to Yorkshire actors aged 16 to 21 of mixed race, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi or Middle Eastern descent. [ 15 ] In November, it was reported that James Howson had been cast as Heathcliff, the first time a black actor would portray the role. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] Lucy Pardee was in charge of casting the children in the film (Gail Stevens cast the adults [ 17 ] ). Pardee auditioned private school children with no history of acting. [ 18 ]", "Principal photography concluded in November 2010. [ 16 ] Filming took place in several North Yorkshire locations, including Thwaite , Cotescue Park in Coverham (as Thrushcross Grange), and Moor Close Farm in Thwaite (as Wuthering Heights ) [ 16 ] and with the production office being temporarily based in Hawes during filming. [ 19 ]", "The first footage of the film released was a four-shot teaser at Film4 's pre- Cannes Film Festival party, with The Guardian noting that the teaser \"wowed\" the partygoers (including Venice Film Festival artistic director Marco Mueller who was present to scout films for his festival). [ 20 ]", "The film premiered in competition at the 2011 Venice Film Festival [ 21 ] and appeared at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival as a Special Presentation.

[ 25 ] The film was released in the UK on 11 November.

Nitecka shot promotional material for the film including photos for the poster, DVD cover, magazines and a photo-essay . [ 28 ] [ 29 ] Film4 released the first promotional photo of James Howson as Heathcliff to their Twitter account the morning the Venice Film Festival line-up was announced. [ 30 ] With the announcement that the film would play at the Toronto Film Festival, four new promotional images were released. [ 31 ]", "An exhibit of film stills and photographs taken on the set by Agatha A. Nitecka was displayed in Curzon Cinema's Renoir location and her photo-essay was available free to every customer who purchased a ticket. A video of the photo-essay was also released online.

[ 33 ]", "The film took £156,931 on its opening weekend at the box office in the United Kingdom, placing at 16th for the weekend of 11–13 November 2011.

["Wuthering Heights is a 1970 British [ 1 ] period romantic drama film directed by Robert Fuest , based on the 1847 Emily Brontë novel of the same name . It stars Anna Calder-Marshall as Cathy and Timothy Dalton as Heathcliff , with supporting roles played by Harry Andrews , Pamela Brown , Hugh Griffith , Ian Ogilvy , and Judy Cornwell .", "The film was produced by the British branch of American International Pictures , [ 1 ] who also distributed the film in the United States. Like the 1939 version , it depicts only the first sixteen chapters concluding with Cathy Linton's death and omits the trials of her daughter, Hindley's son, and Heathcliff's son.", "The film opened to mixed reviews, but was a commercial success, grossing $4.5 million from a $800,000 production budget. Michel Legrand ’s score earned a Best Original Score nomination at the 28th Golden Globe Awards .", "This film version differs from the book in several ways, and most of the differences involve Hindley Earnshaw. First it takes a more sympathetic look at Hindley. Usually portrayed as being a cruel oppressor of Heathcliff, in this version he is persecuted by his father and lives in Heathcliff's shadow. Also in this version, Nelly Dean, the narrator, is shown as being in love with Hindley and unable to express her feelings due to their class difference. After his wife's death, Hindley goes through a hedonistic stage but finally pulls himself out of it.", "At the end of the film, perhaps the most controversial of all the differences, Hindley succeeds in fatally shooting Heathcliff and remains the owner of Wuthering Heights . Heathcliff and Cathy's ghosts are then reunited. [ citation needed ]", "When first introducing Heathcliff, the film also suggests that Heathcliff might be Mr Earnshaw's illegitimate son and hence Cathy's half-brother.", "The film was announced in June 1969. AIP were not traditionally associated with Gothic romance, but were inspired to make the film by the success of Romeo and Juliet (1968). [ 5 ] A studio spokesman said, \"We believe that given the modern, youthful look we plan for it, the Bronte story deserves re-telling. Louis M. Heyward was the executive in charge of the project while Meade Roberts was going to write the script. [ 6 ]", "Classics have a presold audience,\" said AIP president James H. Nicholson.

[ 9 ] ) In February 1970 AIP announced the film as part of its slate with Robert Fuest, who had just made Just like a Woman , directing from a Pat Tilley script. [ 10 ] The following month the two leads were announced: Timothy Dalton, best known for The Lion in Winter , and Anna Calder-Marshall, best known for Female of the Species . Fuest said \"We shall show Heathcliff as a man completely fascinated by Catherine's passion, sexuality, jealousy and cruelty. And the tempestuous Catherine will be seen as a woman hypnotised by Heathcliff's violence, brutality and sadistic vengefulness.\" [ 11 ]", "Fuest says \"we are making the same story\" as the 1939 film but \"our version will be harder, relatively stronger, closer to the book... This is a totally unromantic story. It's a classical story about generation gap and revolt. Attitudes that existed then, exist now.\" [ 12 ]", "Filming began 6 April 1970 and was shot on location in Blubberhouses , Weston Hall near Otley , and Brimham Rocks as well as Shepperton Studios. (Another film based on a Bronte novel, Jane Eyre , started filming 18 May. [ 11 ] ) Producer Lous Heyward said at the time:", "Filming was plagued by poor weather.

[ 15 ]", "Vincent Canby of The New York Times remarked that the film \"is simply petulant when it tries to be overwrought, which may be what American International Pictures publicity people mean when they describe the film as 'youth-oriented.'\" [ 16 ]", "Variety called it \"a competent, tasteful, frequently even lovely re-adaptation of Emily Bronte's Gothic, mystical love story. But the brooding tension, the electric passion of two lovers compelled to an inevitable tragedy is not generated.\" [ 17 ]", "Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film one star out of four and wrote that the actors \"are simply not equal to the demands of the script that, if not controlled, easily slips into laughable melodrama\", adding that \"the film has the unfortunate physical appearance of a vampire tale.\" [ 18 ]", "Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times stated, \"At the tag end of 1970, the sight of Emily Bronte's Cathy Earnshaw running all over those Yorkshire moors shouting Heathcliff! Heathcliff! seems supremely silly—at least in AIP's handsome new version of 'Wuthering Heights' ... The trouble is that it's impossible to care about any of these people, so self-indulgent are they in their romanticism. As a result, you come away from the film thinking how much healthier and honest are today's young people, the audience for which this picture presumably is intended.\" [ 3 ] Gary Arnold of The Washington Post panned the film as \"inane and incoherent\", with \"such a tenuous, sickly resemblance to the book it's based on (and whose reputation it's confiscating) that, in simple justice, the producers should be restrained from using the original title. Some of the film characters have the same names as Miss Bronte's characters, but the resemblance ceases right about there: her story, her atmosphere and her emotions are almost totally ignored, bungled or butchered.\" [ 19 ] David Pirie of The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote, \"At the very least, the combination of AIP and Emily Brontë promises a creative tension; but it turns out to provide only a flattened and monotonous version of her classic novel ... they have played safe in the worst possible way, reducing and telescoping the action into a meagre, spiritless soap-opera, with everyone lacking conviction and Heathcliff in particular about as demonic as a shy farm-hand.\" [ 20 ]", "The film holds a score of 64% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 11 reviews. [ 21 ]", "The film was a box office success, earning rentals of $2.2 million in the US and Canada. [ 22 ]", "Arkoff attributed this success to the fact that they related the story \"to the youth of today\". He contrasted this with the box office failure of Kidnapped . [ 23 ]", "Arkoff also said the film \"had a female audience. Which didn’t mean that men didn’t go. A lot of young men, of course, went with young girls. But it was a picture that young women bought.\" [ 24 ]", "AIP had announced a sequel Return to Wuthering Heights but it was not made. [ 25 ] Neither were other adaptations of classic novels mooted by the studio, including Camille , The House of Seven Gables , and Tale of Two Cities . [ 26 ] The House of Seven Gables was to start filming in England in July 1971 from a script by Tilley who wrote Wuthering Heights . Les Miserables was to start in mid 1971 in France. Tale of Two Cities also from a script by Tilley was to film at the end of 1971. Henry VIII was another proposed AIP project. [ 27 ] In November 1971 Fuest was to direct Seven Gables and Return to Wuthering Heights . [ 28 ]", "In April 1972 Sam Arkoff said he wanted to remake Camille by \"applying it to the emotions of today\", including showing \"physical love\". He said his version of Tale of Two Cities was discarded \"because it didn't seem to relate to today.\" [ 23 ] However, none of these proposed follow-ups were made."]

["Wuthering Heights is a 1939 American romantic period drama film directed by William Wyler , produced by Samuel Goldwyn , starring Merle Oberon , Laurence Olivier and David Niven , and based on the 1847 novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë . The film depicts only 16 of the novel's 34 chapters, eliminating the second generation of characters. The novel was adapted for the screen by Charles MacArthur , Ben Hecht and John Huston (uncredited). The supporting cast features Flora Robson and Geraldine Fitzgerald .", "The outdoor scenes were filmed in Thousand Oaks, California , with scenes shot in Wildwood Regional Park and at the current site of California Lutheran University . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ]", "The film won the 1939 New York Film Critics Award for Best Film. It earned nominations for eight Academy Awards , [ 6 ] including for Best Picture , Best Director and Best Actor . The 1940 Academy Award for Best Cinematography , black-and-white category, was awarded to Gregg Toland for his work. Nominated for original score (but losing to The Wizard of Oz ) was the prolific film composer Alfred Newman , whose poignant \"Cathy's Theme\" does so much \"to maintain its life as a masterpiece of romantic filmmaking.\" [ 7 ]", "In 2007, Wuthering Heights was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being \"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\".", "A traveler named Lockwood is caught in the snow and stays at the estate of Wuthering Heights, despite the cold behavior of his host Heathcliff. Late that night, after being shown into an upstairs room that was once a bridal chamber, Lockwood is awakened by a cold draft and finds the window shutter flapping back and forth. Just as he is about to close it, he feels an icy hand clutching his and hears a woman outside calling, \"Heathcliff, let me in! I'm lost in the moors. It's Cathy!\" Lockwood calls Heathcliff and tells him what he saw, whereupon the enraged Heathcliff throws him out of the room. Once Lockwood is gone, Heathcliff frantically calls out to Cathy and runs down the stairs and into the snowstorm. Ellen, the housekeeper, tells the amazed Lockwood that he has seen the ghost of Cathy Earnshaw, Heathcliff's only great love, who died years ago. When Lockwood says that he doesn't believe in ghosts, Ellen tells him that he might if she told him the story of Cathy, and he asks her to do so, intrigued.", "As a boy, Heathcliff is found on the streets of Liverpool by Mr. Earnshaw, who brings him home to live with his two children, Cathy and Hindley. At first reluctant, Cathy eventually welcomes Heathcliff, and they become very close, but Hindley treats him as an outcast, especially after Mr. Earnshaw dies. About ten years later, the now-grown Heathcliff and Cathy have fallen in love and are meeting secretly at Penistone Crags on the moors. Hindley has become dissolute and tyrannical towards Cathy and the servants and forces Heathcliff to be a stable boy out of hatred for him.", "One night as Cathy and Heathcliff are out together, they hear music and realize that their neighbors, the Linton family, are having a party. The pair sneak inside the Lintons' estate by climbing over their garden wall, but the dogs are alerted and attack them. One of the dogs bites Cathy, and she suffers a severe leg injury. Heathcliff is forced to leave Cathy in their care. Enraged that the Lintons' glamor and wealth would so entrance Cathy, he blames the family for her injury and curses them all.", "Cathy fully recuperates while staying for months with the Lintons, then returns home. Edgar Linton has fallen in love with Cathy and soon proposes; after Edgar takes her back to Wuthering Heights, she tells Ellen what has happened. Ellen reminds her about Heathcliff, but Cathy flippantly remarks that it would degrade her to marry him. Heathcliff overhears and leaves before he can hear Cathy realize aloud that she belongs with him, not Edgar, despite their class difference. When she discovers Heathcliff has overheard, she runs after him into the moors during a raging storm. Edgar finds her cold and ill. He summons the local doctor, Kenneth, who nurses her back to health. Soon after her recovery, Cathy and Edgar marry.", "Heathcliff then disappears but returns years later, now wealthy and elegant. He has refined his appearance and manners to impress Cathy, and secretly buys Wuthering Heights from Hindley, whose gambling and heavy drinking have brought him to financial ruin. Cathy remains with Edgar despite Heathcliff's return and denies her love for him; to spite Cathy, Heathcliff begins courting Edgar's naïve sister, Isabella. Despite Cathy's objecting strongly to both Isabella and Heathcliff, the two eventually marry. A brokenhearted Cathy soon falls gravely ill. Heathcliff rushes to her side against the wishes of a now disillusioned and bitter Isabella. Cathy finally tells Heathcliff that she loves only him, and they reconcile, forgiving each other. At her request, Heathcliff carries Cathy to the window, so she can see the moors for the last time before dying in Heathcliff's arms. Heathcliff asks Cathy to haunt him until the day he dies.", "As Ellen finishes her story, Dr. Kenneth arrives and tells Ellen and Lockwood that he saw Heathcliff on the moors with a woman, only to find Heathcliff's corpse alone in the snow. Ellen realizes that he saw the ghosts of Heathcliff and Cathy, who now haunt Penistone Crags together.", "The film significantly shortened the plot of the novel. Originally, the book was divided into two volumes, the first involving Cathy and Heathcliff, and the second later in time involving Heathcliff's interactions with Cathy's daughter, also called Catherine, Heathcliff's son by Isabella, Linton, and Hindley's son Hareton. In the film the second volume, and thus the children and their stories, is omitted.", "Because the film cuts that large amount, some of the characters are shifted or omitted. For example, the present-time beginning and ending of the film provide a frame for the flashback in both the film and book; but in the film, Isabella is still the supposed mistress of the household, whereas in the novel time has proceeded to the point where the younger Catherine is the primary female resident. In general, Heathcliff's apparent contact with Cathy's spirit and his subsequent death is preserved as the ending of the film, although it takes place sooner in time, and in a somewhat different way.", "The project was initially intended as a vehicle for Merle Oberon, who was under contract with Goldwyn at the time. However, when Laurence Olivier was cast as Heathcliff, Vivien Leigh wanted to play the lead role with her then-lover and future husband. [ 8 ] Studio executives felt the role could not go to an actress who was largely unknown in America, but they did offer Leigh the part of Isabella Linton. She declined, and Geraldine Fitzgerald was cast. Leigh was cast in Gone with the Wind the same year, for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress ; Merle Oberon did not receive a nomination for her performance.", "Ronald Colman , Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Robert Newton were considered for the role of Heathcliff. [ 9 ]", "The Mitchell Camera Corporation selected cinematographer Gregg Toland and Wuthering Heights to be the first to use their new Mitchell BNC camera. [ citation needed ] This camera model would become a studio standard for the next half century, and the prototype of Panavision studio cameras of the following decades. [ citation needed ]", "The novel takes place in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. However, the film places the action in the mid-19th century, around the time of the novel's publication. Sarah Berry writes that Samuel Goldwyn deliberately chose to do this because he thought \"Civil War\" fashions were more attractive than Regency fashions. [ 10 ] Other writers have claimed that Goldwyn was short on funds and had to recycle costumes from a Civil War drama.", "There were clashes on the set between the actors and the director. Both of the leading players began work on the film miserable at having to leave their loved ones back in the United Kingdom; Olivier missed his fiancée Vivien Leigh, and Oberon had recently fallen in love with film producer Alexander Korda . [ 9 ] Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier also apparently detested each other, even though both had performed together the year before in The Divorce of Lady X . Witnesses recall Oberon's scolding Olivier for accidentally spitting on her during a particularly romantic balcony scene. Oberon shouted to Wyler, \"Tell him to stop spitting at me!\" Olivier retorted by shouting, \"What's a little spit for Chrissake, between actors? You bloody little idiot, how dare you speak to me?\" Oberon ran crying from the set after the outburst, and Wyler insisted Olivier apologize to her, which upset Olivier greatly. [ 11 ]", "Olivier also found himself becoming increasingly annoyed with William Wyler's exhausting and often uncommunicative style of filmmaking. One scene with Olivier was shot 72 times—with each new take called for by Wyler without any actual direction for his actor; just \"again!\" Finally, an exasperated Olivier is said to have exclaimed \"For God's sake, I did it sitting down. I did it with a smile. I did it with a smirk. I did it scratching my ear. I did it with my back to the camera. How do you want me to do it?\" Wyler's retort was \"I want it better.\" [ 11 ] However, in both his autobiography and his book On Acting , Olivier credits William Wyler with teaching him how to act in films, as opposed to on the stage, and for giving him a new respect for films. Olivier had tended to \"ham it up\" as if he were playing to the second balcony, but Wyler showed him how to act more subtly - in part by simply wearing him down. [ 12 ]", "In the final sequence of Wuthering Heights , the spirits of Heathcliff and Cathy are seen walking together hand-in-hand, obviously in love. This scene is not found in the book, and according to literary critic John Sutherland, was likely the stark opposite of what Brontë intended the reader to understand. He contends that a contemporary reader would not have seen Cathy's ghost's actions as a gesture of undying love for Heathcliff but one of towering, protective rage; Cathy haunted Heathcliff to death only to prevent him from cheating her daughter out of her inheritance. [ 13 ] Director Wyler hated the idea of the after-life scene and didn't want to do it, but producer Samuel Goldwyn vetoed him, and the scene was added after primary filming was complete. As Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon had moved to other projects, doubles had to be used. Goldwyn subsequently claimed, \"I made Wuthering Heights , Wyler only directed it.\" [ 14 ] In fact, Goldwyn's name and producer credit appears last in the opening credits, going against the convention of the director's name appearing last. Goldwyn claimed that Wuthering Heights was his favorite of all his productions. [ 9 ] Sutherland writes that this change to the ending has influenced how students view the novel and especially Cathy, who comes across as more passive and accepting of abuse than Brontë may have envisioned. [ 13 ]", "David Niven remembers the filming of Merle Oberon's deathbed scenes (recorded in his bestselling book The Moon's a Balloon ) as less than romantic. After telling Wyler he did not know how to 'sob', he had been given a menthol mist substance to help it appear as if he were crying, which instead had the effect of making \"green goo\" come out of his nose. Oberon immediately exited the bed after witnessing it. [ citation needed ]", "Frank S. Nugent of The New York Times called it \"a strong and somber film, poetically written as the novel not always was, sinister and wild as it was meant to be, far more compact dramatically than Miss Brontë had made it ... It is, unquestionably, one of the most distinguished pictures of the year, one of the finest ever produced by Mr. Goldwyn, and one you should decide to see.\" [ 15 ] Variety wrote that the film \"retains all of the grim drama of the book,\" but believed that its \"slow pace\" would make for \"rather dull material for general audiences.\" [ 16 ] Film Daily reported \"Brilliant screen version of Bronte novel ... William Wyler has given the love story warm, sympathetic direction, gaining fine performances from his cast.\" [ 17 ] Harrison's Reports noted \"The acting, direction, and production are all excellent; but the story is so sombre and cheerless, that most persons will leave the theatre depressed.\" [ 18 ] John Mosher of The New Yorker wrote: \"No screen version of 'Wuthering Heights' could ever touch the heart so closely, I am sure, as does a reading of the printed page; yet the Goldwyn production approximates the quality of the fierce, tempestuous story with a force one might never have expected ... Seldom has the tone of a great novel been so faithfully reproduced by the movie people.\" [ 19 ]", "Wuthering Heights placed fourth on Film Daily' s year-end nationwide poll of 542 critics naming the best films of 1939. [ 20 ]", "American Film Institute included the film as #73 in its AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies and #15 in AFI's 100 Years... 100 Passions .", "Streaming audio"]

["Wrongfully Accused is a 1998 parody film written, produced and directed by Pat Proft (in his feature directorial debut) and starring Leslie Nielsen as a man who has been framed for murder and desperately attempts to expose the true culprits. The film is a parody of the 1993 film The Fugitive , and also parodies numerous other films.", "World-famous violinist Ryan Harrison is seen giving a concert. Afterwards, he goes to a party where he meets Hibbing Goodhue, a millionaire who sponsors Harrison's performances, as well as Goodhue's seductive wife Lauren and his possible mistress Cass Lake.", "The next evening, he finds a note from Lauren in his car which summons him to the Goodhue residence. When he goes to the Goodhue mansion, he bumps into Sean Laughrea, who has just killed Goodhue (together with an unknown accomplice). A violent fight follows, during which Harrison discovers that Sean is missing an eye, an arm, and a leg, and he overhears the preparations for an operation with the codename \"Hylander\" before he is knocked out. When he wakes up, Harrison finds himself arrested and convicted for the murder of Goodhue. Desperate to prove his innocence, Harrison escapes from his prison transport following an accident. Lieutenant Fergus Falls arrives on the scene, takes charge, barks out orders and vows to do whatever it takes to capture the fugitive.", "Harrison returns to the Goodhue mansion where he encounters Cass, who is trying to retrieve something from behind a portrait. She tells him she knows he is innocent and believes Lauren is the killer, but refuses to say anything to the police because Lauren is her sister. She provides him with a place to hide and helps him shake his pursuers, but Harrison's opportunities to rest are short and fleeting: Falls seems to find him wherever he goes, and Cass behaves suspiciously, increasing Harrison's doubts of whom to trust.", "Harrison gradually begins to piece together the puzzle; he remembers that Sean was present at the party as the bartender and was given a great amount of money by Cass. He also finds that Cass is strangely interested in Sir Robert McKintyre, the Secretary-General of the United Nations . Eventually, after investigating Sean's disabilities in a limb replacement clinic, he discovers that Cass, Lauren and Sean are planning an assassination attempt on McKintyre. He manages to follow the group but is caught. Cass shoots Harrison but actually fakes his death, both because she has fallen in love with him and because she wants to stop the assassination, since she has found out that McKintyre is really her father. Goodhue has been murdered by Sean and Lauren because he had come to suspect that his wife was actually a terrorist and had only used him to further her goals.", "At a Scottish festival, Harrison and Cass just barely manage to save McKintyre's life. They are cornered by Lauren, Sean and accomplices, but Fergus Falls and a SWAT team arrive just in the nick of time, arresting the terrorists. Falls officially tells Harrison that he was \"wrongfully accused\", clearing his name and acquitting him. In the last scene, Harrison and Cass are riding on the bow of a cruise ship (spoofing Titanic ) and end up bumping their heads on a low bridge.", "Wrongfully Accused was released in Germany on July 23, 1998. [ 1 ]", "The film opened on August 21, 1998, in 2,062 cinemas. On its opening weekend, it grossed USD $3,504,630 or approximately $1,700 per theatre. Wrongfully Accused ' s overall gross was $9,642,860. [ 2 ]", "Wrongfully Accused received generally negative reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes , it has an 18% rating based on 33 reviews and an average rating of 4.10/10. The site's consensus states: \" Wrongfully Accused of being a comedy worthy of Leslie Nielsen's involvement, this misbegotten spoof might have fewer laughs than the straight-faced thriller that inspired it.\" [ 3 ] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of \"C\" on an A+ to F scale. [ 4 ]", "Leonard Klady of Variety wrote: \"The broad comedy misses its target except by accident, creating more mess than mirth in its pie-flinging approach to comedy\" and that \"The best gags pop up in the closing credits\". [ 5 ] James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film only one out of four stars, and wrote: \" Wrongfully Accused is a mind-numbingly awful motion picture that has a better chance of making a viewer physically ill than of provoking a genuine laugh. Someone should sit down with Leslie Nielsen and suggest that, for his own good and the good of all those who go to his movies, he should retire. ... Nielsen may be a nice guy, but his increasingly feeble attempts at \"comic\" performances are becoming so painful to watch that I'm starting to dislike the man. ... Wrongfully Accused has nothing worth laughing at. With as many lame one-liners, visual gags, and puns as this script lobs at the audience, it comes as an absolute shock how humorless the results are. ... It's incomprehensible to think that anyone would find this movie funny—except the quote whores, that is.\" [ 6 ]", "Anita Gates of The New York Times wrote: \"No one can accuse Wrongfully Accused of a shortage of jokes. ... Unfortunately, most of the jokes just aren't very funny. ... Maybe Pat Proft [...] works best as part of a team. Maybe he needs one of his old collaborators -- ideally David Zucker or Jim Abrahams -- to turn his concepts into punch lines. Without them, Wrongfully Accused [...] feels like a tangle of funny ideas all dressed up with nowhere to go. ... Throughout the film, Richard Crenna [...] seems right on the verge of making his Tommy Lee Jones imitation truly great, but he always just misses, maybe because he has only his attitude to work with. ... Even a cameo by the generally fabulous Sandra Bernhard falls flat. Things go better for Lamb Chop , the saccharine little sock puppet whose creator, Shari Lewis, died earlier this month. Lamb Chop has a cameo as an audience member in the opening concert scene and steals the show.\" [ 7 ]", "Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly wrote: \"Opening so soon after Mafia! tried our patience for the whole Airplane! and Naked Gun parody thing, Wrongfully Accused has a lot going against it. It's sloppy, tired, obvious, and overdone. ... But strewn throughout this shameless, old-fart comedy circus are so many giddy, good-natured, much-needed stink bombs aimed at middlebrow and lowbrow pop culture that a few are bound to hit the mark: The worst excesses of Baywatch , JFK , Anaconda , Charlie's Angels , Mission: Impossible , Braveheart , Titanic , and Field of Dreams are appropriately honored. So too are North by Northwest , Hong Kong action movies, and Mentos commercials. Some of the most pointed commentary is also the most throwaway.\" [ 8 ]", "There are numerous films and media parodied in Wrongfully Accused , including:"]

["Wrong World is a 1985 Australian drama film directed by Ian Pringle and starring Richard Moir , Jo Kennedy , Nick Lathouris , Robbie McGregor, and Esben Storm . It was filmed in Nhill and Melbourne in Victoria , Australia, with additional scenes in La Paz, Bolivia and New York City . [ 2 ]", "David ( Richard Moir ) is an Australian graduate doctor who has recently become disillusioned and depressed after working in a hospital in La Paz , Bolivia and then travelling through the United States . In both countries, he observes a sense of emotional detachment and ennui. He also picks up an addiction to morphine while in La Paz, stealing from the hospital's supplies. Returning to his hometown of Melbourne, he is financially supported by an old colleague named Robert (Robbie McGregor) who has found corporate success and feels guilty that he did not pursue a desire to \"change the world\" as David did. David enters rehab where he meets Mary ( Jo Kennedy ), a young woman with a heroin addiction, after he intervenes to stop heavy-handed clinic staff from interfering with her. She is initially mistrusting of him but eventually their lives become intertwined, particularly after he saves her life following an overdose.", "A drug deal gone wrong then sees her needing to leave Melbourne, so she decides to lay low at her sister's house in Nhill . Robert offers to drive her there and they set out together in a rented car. They share experiences and warm up to each other along the way, and both find that the other offers a counterpoint of hope to their world-weary bitterness. While spending a night in a cheap hotel room, they watch The Mortal Storm together though Mary has seen it before. An onset of bad reception leads Mary to describe what happens to David instead, which leads to them kissing for the first time then making love.", "The next day, they continue towards Nhill and Mary sings \" I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry \", a song she says she learned from a Ray Charles record during childhood and had always related to. A rock bouncing off the tyre of a passing truck then shatters the car's windscreen. Shaken, they both consider driving further than Nhill but decide against it. David continues driving in the windshield-less car, as Mary attempts to keep warm. Arriving in Nhill, Mary tells David not to worry about her and that she will be alright. Settling in to her sister's house, Mary takes out the old Ray Charles record and spends a moment in thought. As David drives home to Melbourne with a repaired windscreen, he thinks back to her singing \"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.", "The film was made for $600,000 with a grant of more than $100,000 from Film Victoria . [ 1 ] Jo Kennedy was drawn to the project as it was completely different from her breakout role in Starstruck . [ 3 ] To prepare for the role, she spent several weeks on the streets of Melbourne's \"drug district\" and as a result her weight dropped to 38 kilograms. [ 4 ] She later told the media she had approached the role hoping to humanise drug users in the eyes of the viewing public:", "The young woman on whom Kennedy based her performance died of an overdose during the film's production. [ 6 ]", "At the 1985 AFI Awards , Ray Argall was nominated in the Best Achievement in Cinematography category but Kennedy was not nominated for her performance. [ 7 ] However, later that year, she won the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the 35th Berlin International Film Festival while Ian Pringle was nominated for a Golden Bear. [ 8 ] Kennedy, who was not even aware she had been nominated, [ 9 ] described a \"backlash\" among the Australian film industry in the aftermath of this award, telling The Sydney Morning Herald that \"people (became) defensive... 'Here comes Jo Kennedy, big star. Show us what you can do.'\" One Melbourne radio station called her early in the morning, asked her \"bloody stupid things like 'Jo, are you in love?'\", then published the resulting conversation as an \"interview\" in a magazine. [ 5 ] She also mentioned that various people in the Canadian film industry told her she looked \"ugly\" in the film. [ 3 ]", "Pringle struggled to find a distributor in Australia. It was only in the aftermath of the film's international awards that he was able to distribute the film locally himself with a grant from the AFC. [ 10 ] Wrong World ultimately grossed $17,213 at the box office in Australia. [ 11 ] Producer Bryce Menzies commented that in his opinion, \"if the voices were substituted... if it was an American or German film, people would (have flocked) to it.\" [ 3 ]", "Wrong World was not released on VHS or DVD. It was aired on Australian television for the first time one morning in January 1997 on the Nine Network at 2:40am.

["Wunschkonzert ( Request Concert ) is a 1940 German drama propaganda film by Eduard von Borsody . [ 1 ] After Die große Liebe , it was the most popular film of wartime Germany, reaching the second highest gross. [ 2 ]", "The popular music show Wunschkonzert für die Wehrmacht [ de ] (Request Concert for the Wehrmacht ) was broadcast on the German radio network every Sunday afternoon at 3.00 from the Great Broadcasting Room of the Haus des Rundfunks on Masurenallee in Berlin . Its popularity was based in part on its claims to broadcast music requested by men in the armed forces, thus uniting the armed forces and the homefront in Volksgemeinschaft . [ 3 ] Reich Minister Goebbels insisted that all German performers contribute to it, and concluded that a film based on it would be even more successful. [ 4 ]", "During the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, the young Inge Wagner and Luftwaffe Fliegerleutnant ( Flight Lieutenant ) Herbert Koch meet, and within a few days fall in love. They make plans for their joint future, but before they can get married, Herbert is seconded to the Condor Legion and ordered to the Spanish Civil War ; he is forced to leave immediately without giving Inge any explanation. The mission is top secret and all contact with home is forbidden, including by letter, and he is unable to contact her with an explanation. When after several months the operation is over, and Herbert is recovering from a severe injury, he is at last able to write to Inge, but she has moved in the meantime and he is unable to trace her.", "Inge meanwhile is unable to forget Herbert, and is prepared to wait for him. Three years go by. When the war begins with the Invasion of Poland in 1939, the men from Inge's area all go off to the front, including Inge's childhood friend, Helmut Winkler, whose proposal of marriage she has turned down, but who continues to hope for her hand. Helmut is assigned to a Squadron where he is put directly under Herbert, who has meanwhile been promoted to Hauptmann (Group Captain). The two become friends, not knowing that they both love the same girl.", "Since the beginning of the war, a big musical event has taken place in Berlin every week, which is broadcast on the radio as Wunschkonzert für die Wehrmacht and provides a channel for greetings and messages between the front and home. When Herbert, remembering the beautiful days with Inge, asks for the Olympic fanfares, Inge, who is listening at home like every one else, hears it and is encouraged by this sudden sign out of the blue to discover Herbert's whereabouts, with renewed hope of seeing him again. They exchange letters, and arrange to meet in Hamburg .", "However, at the last moment before the meeting, Herbert and Helmut are both ordered off on a reconnaissance flight over the Atlantic and are shot down. A German U-boat picks them up. Meanwhile, Inge is waiting in vain. Helmut is taken wounded to the military hospital, where all three meet in his sickroom. After sorting out the confused situation – Herbert assumes that Inge and Helmut are engaged – the two lovers are reunited.", "Starring roles were played by Ilse Werner as Inge Wagner, Carl Raddatz as Herbert Koch, and Joachim Brennecke as Helmut Winkler.", "Other actors were Hedwig Bleibtreu (Frau Wagner), Ida Wüst (Frau Eichhorn), Hans Hermann Schaufuß (Hammer), Hans Adalbert Schlettow (Kramer), Malte Jaeger (Friedrich), Walter Ladengast (Schwarzkopf), Albert Florath (Physician), Elise Aulinger (Frau Schwarzkopf), Wilhelm Althaus [ de ] (Captain Freiburg), Walter Bechmann [ de ] (Waiter), Günther Lüders (Zimmermann), Erwin Biegel (Justav), Vera Hartegg (Frau Friedrich), Vera Complojer (Frau Hammer), Aribert Mog , and Ewald Wenck .", "Many well-known artists appear as themselves in the request concert programme section, hosted by Heinz Goedecke:", "Wunschkonzert was officially classified as \"Politically valuable\", \"Artistically valuable\", \"Valuable for the people\", and \"Valuable for youth\", which by Nazi standards put it close to the rank of a major propaganda film such as Karl Ritter 's Stukas (1941). After World War II, the Allied Control Council , which, in 1945, subjected all German-language films then on release to an ideological examination, banned its performance. It was released later in West Germany with clearance from the FSK motion picture rating system.", "The love story in itself was innocuous, and was intended only to strengthen morale at the home front, particularly among women who thought of their loved ones on the front. [ 5 ] With this film (her 11th), Ilse Werner tightened her grip on star status, and added to her image the role of the \"girl back home\", faithfully enduring. Although she had at first turned the part down, her collaboration in this film cost her, in 1945, a performance ban, albeit temporary.", "Its real political force was due to other elements of image and plot not immediately apparent from a straightforward storyline summary. The film historians Francis Courtade and Pierre Cadars quote, [ 6 ] an unknown writer, who describes the film as follows: \"This \"harmless-homeloving\" film contains in palatable form just about everything that was dear to the Third Reich, with the exception of anti-Semitism \". [ 7 ]", "Friedemann Beyer [ de ] also describes it as a \"paradigm of the National Sozialist cinema\". [ 8 ] The blend of distracting escapist entertainment on the one hand and naked propaganda on the other makes Wunschkonzert one of the most significant products of Nazi film politics. [ 9 ]", "In the first section, against the background of the opening of the Olympic Games, the film contains documentary images of Hitler with adoring crowds, subjectively reminiscent of Leni Riefenstahl 's propaganda films; the Olympic scenes include actual footage from Riefenstahl's film \" Olympia \". Later, in the war scenes, original newsreel footage is used. The film is also openly propagandistic in the scenes in which the men go off to war: these scenes convey on the one hand a spirit of readiness for self-sacrifice, and on the other, one of carefree singing and jollity, as though going on a great adventure. Echt deutsche Gefühlsinnigkeit (\"genuine German sensibility\") is celebrated in another scene, in which Schwarzkopf, a young pianist, plays Beethoven to a house-party in farewell. He later dies an operatically staged heroic death, playing the organ in a church to guide his comrades, thus diverting the enemy to himself. [ 10 ] This depiction of an actual German soldier's death was unusual for German film and carefully glamorized. [ 11 ]", "The real main theme of the film however is German Volksgemeinschaft (\"people's community\", a specifically Nazi term), the inner bond between home and the front, and the participation of every level of society. [ 12 ] The role of Nazism in bringing about this happy unity is underscored when Inge's aunt recounts how she could not marry a lover of higher social class, Inge wonders if such things are possible, and the aunt declares they were—in those days. [ 13 ] The classes also, however unified in purpose, are still recognizable; the lower classes are simple souls, obeying orders at the front and being clowns at home, while the hero is a dignified person of high status. [ 13 ]", "The request concert, as the bridge between the two, and, indeed, the love story between a civilian girl and a fighting man, are really just symbols for the greater whole. [ 13 ] Consequently, the film closes, not just on the images of the idyll of love, but with battleships, bomber squadrons, swastika banners, and the patriotic song \" Denn wir fahren gegen Engelland \" [ 13 ] ( Hermann Löns ' \"Matrosenlied\" (1912) to the 1939 melody by Herms Niel .", "The former Reich Film Superintendent Fritz Hippler characterised the film – after 1945 – not only as a state-commissioned film, but as: \"Goebbels' pet child. He had worked on the screenplay, written dialogue, and specified particular singers and music to be presented in the great set pieces. Since he prized Ilse Werner above all as the 'sympathetic model of a modern woman', he was completely besotted with that piece of casting.\" [ 14 ]", "The director Eduard von Borsody , who otherwise mostly specialised in adventure films, had recommended himself to the Nazi regime by his work on the films Morgenrot (1933, pre-dating the Nazi seizure of control), Flüchtlinge (1933), and Kautschuk (1938).", "Shooting began on 16 July 1940. On 21 December, the completed film was laid before the Filmprüfstelle (original edition: 2,832 metres, 103 minutes), which classified it as fit for youth viewing. The premiere took place on 30 December 1940 in a Berlin showpiece cinema, the Ufa-Palast am Zoo . Distribution was managed by the Universum-Film Verleih GmbH . On 4 November 1943, the film was again presented to the Filmprüfstelle in a shortened version (2,689 metres, 98 minutes), and in this version, too, was classified as suitable for minors.", "In the original version, the film was entitled \" Das Wunschkonzert \" (\" The Request Concert\"), but this was replaced when the film was advertised by the snappier-sounding \"Wunschkonzert\" .", "Next to the Zarah Leander film Die große Liebe , Wunschkonzert was the most commercially successful film production during the Nazi regime : By the end of World War II, the film had been seen by almost 26 million people, and taken 7.6 million Reichsmarks (equivalent to 34 million 2021 euros). [ 2 ]", "At its presentation to the FSK on 24 January 1980 (2,720 metres, 99 minutes), the film was cleared as suitable for showing on public holidays, and for those aged 16 and over (Prüf-Nr. 51284). After a re-edit (2,756 metres, 101 minutes), it was presented again to the FSK on 22 January 1997, when it was re-classified as suitable for those aged 18 and over (Prüf-Nr. 51284).

["Wu Dang is a 2012 martial arts fantasy film directed by Patrick Leung, starring Vincent Zhao , Yang Mi , Louis Fan , Dennis To and Xu Jiao . A Chinese-Hong Kong co-production, it was first released in mainland China on 6 July 2012.", "The story is set in the early Republican era in China. Tang Yunlong, an archaeology professor, returns from the United States to China and he brings along his daughter, Tang Ning, with him. He meets Paul Chen, an antique seller who deals in stolen artifacts from all over China. A fight breaks out when Tang seizes a treasure map from Chen. Tang defeats Chen's men and escapes with the map. The Tangs then make their way to the Wudang Mountains to attend a martial arts contest. Elsewhere, on an aeroplane, a girl called Tianxin fights with other martial artists on board and steals an invitation card to attend the event at Wudang.", "At Wudang, it is revealed that Tang Yunlong and Tianxin are there for the same objective — to hunt for seven treasures hidden all over the Wudang Mountains. Tianxin wants only one of the seven, a sword, which she insists belonged to her family. On the other hand, Tang Yunlong is searching for a magic pill, which can cure his daughter of a rare medical illness that killed his wife. While hunting for the treasures, Tang Yunlong and Tianxin have several encounters and confrontations with the Wudang guardians keeping watch over the treasures, as well as with Paul Chen and his men, who are also there for the treasures.", "Wu Dang was directed by Hong Kong film director Patrick Leung, who previously directed other films such as La Brassiere (2001) and The Twins Effect II (2004). The action scenes were choreographed by Hong Kong action director Corey Yuen , who also worked on The Twins Effect II with Leung. [ 2 ]", "The costumes in the film were designed by Emi Wada , who won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design in 1985.

They encounter a crazy druggie who tells them that a small-time drug dealer named Frankie Tahoe wants to kill Vincent. Joshua and Mickey inform Vincent, and the trio intimidate a guy who works for Tahoe into telling them where he can be found. They find Tahoe at a nightclub. During a talk, Tahoe insults the religion of Joshua and Vincent, which they hold dear, and Vincent beats Tahoe to death with a baseball bat. The trio dump the body in a landfill. While doing this, Vincent reveals that Mickey and Vincent's wife have been having an affair. Vincent then kills Mickey.", "While Joshua and Vincent are having breakfast, Joshua tells his boss that he has become weary of the violence and wants to retire. Vincent admits that he has violent outbursts but insists that Joshua owes him his life. Angered, Vincent says that Joshua cannot retire.

Rich reaches the top of a cliff and before he can help Halley up, he is attacked and killed. Someone begins to yank Halley up the cliff, forcing her to cut the rope and fall to the ground. She flees but is caught in a line of barbed wire and pulled back into the woods, screaming.", "Sometime later, medical student Chris Flynn drives through the mountains of West Virginia on his way to a business meeting. He stops at a gas station to ask directions, and the elderly owner named Maynard is of no help. Chris finds a map and decides to go down Bear Mountain Road. He collides with a stopped car whose tires have been punctured. The car belongs to a group of college students on a camping trip: Jessie, Carly, Scott, Evan, and Francine. They discover that their tire actually hit barbed wires, which was intentionally laid by someone.", "While Evan and Francine watch the cars, the others go to find help.

Chris gets shot in the leg while trying to distract the cannibals, and the girls take him to a truck, where they find Evan's body. Scott attempts another diversion for the other three to escape but gets killed with arrows. Jessie, Carly, and Chris stumble upon an old watchtower and call for help using an old radio. The cannibals arrive and are alerted when the radio responds to the group's call. Unable to get inside, the attackers set the tower on fire, forcing the three to jump out into the trees.

Three Finger, who survived the explosion, rises and kills the deputy while laughing maniacally.", "Development for the film began in 2001 when it was announced Summit Entertainment and Newmarket Group teamed to produce Wrong Turn , a 1970s-style horror pic to be directed by Rob Schmidt.

[ 9 ] Inking a deal with Fox-based Regency Enterprises, the co-financiers of Wrong Turn secured domestic distribution through Fox. [ 10 ] Fox reportedly had trouble securing an R-rating from the MPAA due to the film's intense violence, with many of the TV spots for the film also being refused approval; this is possibly one of the reasons why subsequent Wrong Turn movies were released straight to video.

["Wrong Turn is an American slasher film series created by director Rob Schmidt [ 1 ] and writers Alan B. McElroy , Adam Cooper and Bill Collage (uncredited). [ 2 ] The series consists of seven films, five of which share the same continuity, while the later two films serve as reboots.", "The films originally focus on various families of deformed cannibals who hunt and kill a group of people in West Virginia in horrific ways by using a mixture of traps and weaponry. The reboot film features a centuries-old cult in Virginia who respond violently to outsiders who intrude on their self-sufficient civilization. The film series became known primarily as a direct-to-video franchise grossing $21.8 million in home video sales. [ 3 ]", "In the first film, a group of six individuals are stalked by One Eye, Saw Tooth, and Three Finger. Chris Flynn ( Desmond Harrington ) is forced to make a detour after a chemical spill on the road. He makes a wrong turn and crashes into another vehicle which had already fallen victim to one of the mountain men's road traps. While searching for help in the cabin belonging to the three monstrous mountain men, they are hunted down one by one. At the end, Chris and Jessie Burlingame ( Eliza Dushku ) survive.", "The second film introduces new cannibals: Ma, Pa, Brother and Sister. Three Finger and the Old Man are the only returning characters from the first film. This time, the cannibals hunt down a group of reality show contestants who are taking part in a survival reality TV show, leaving Nina Papas ( Erica Leerhsen ) and Jake Washington ( Texas Battle ) is a only two survival.", "Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead features a group of prison officers and convicts. The returning character Three Finger causes the transport bus to crash, allowing the convicts to escape and take the surviving prison officers, Nate (Tom Frederic) and Walter ( Chucky Venn ) prisoner. While fleeing, the convicts and their prisoners stumble across a lost truck which had been transporting thousands of dollars, as well as Alex Miles ( Janet Montgomery ), who has been lost in the woods since Three Finger killed the rest of her friends. Eventually, Three Toes (Three Finger's nephew) is killed by Chavez. Three Finger finds Three Toes's severed head, which makes him furious. He creates a shrine and leaves the head on display in his cabin. The one remaining surviving convict, Brandon, convinces Nate of his innocence, and is set free. Nate returns later to the truck to steal the money that Chavez wanted. But Brandon shoots him in the back with a bow and arrow and takes the money for himself. An unknown cannibal comes up behind Brandon and bludgeons him with a crude club killing him and leaving Alex the only survivor in the film.", "This film provides the back story to the three original killers and shows their childhood. It also shows the three brothers story. The story focuses on a group of nine teenagers who take a wrong turn while riding their snowmobiles and are looking for their cabin. They end up in an old abandoned insane asylum which is still inhabited by Three Finger, Saw Tooth and One Eye. The friends decide to spend the night in the insane asylum and they are attacked by the hilker brothers. By the end of the film, all nine teenagers are dead. The film served as a prequel to the first film.", "It is revealed that Maynard is a serial killer who has been on the run for over thirty years, and is now in cahoots with the three cannibal brothers. He repeatedly refers to them as 'my boys' and his kin. Throughout the course of the film, the brothers attempt to break Maynard out of jail and kill off the college students and Sheriff Angela Carter ( Camilla Arfwedson ), while the rest of the town is at the festival. The film ends with Maynard and the three brothers escaping with the blinded young college student Lita ( Roxanne McKee ) as a captive.", "In the sixth installment, Danny (Anthony Ilott) discovers his long lost family as he takes his friends to Hobb Springs, a Forgotten resort deep into the West Virginia Hills. Danny then has to choose between his family or his friends as they are being killed by his family one by one. The film doesn't follow the continuity of its predecessors and serves as a reboot instead.

[ 6 ]", "The Wrong Turn film series has featured several different cannibals. All of the cannibals are hostile toward the characters they encounter, showing no remorse for their victims. The cannibals are portrayed as mute, but show the ability to communicate with each other. They also show the mental capability to operate machinery and vehicles. The cannibals stay with each other in groups and appear to be the result of inbreeding.", "Three Finger is the main antagonist of the Wrong Turn film series. He is a cannibal with great physical deformity caused by toxic chemicals he was exposed to at birth, alongside his two brothers. He is a skilled trap maker, crafting his traps so well that they often kill his victims before he can enact horrific acts of violence upon them.", "Saw Tooth, like his two brothers, first appears in Wrong Turn (2003). He is the biggest and strongest of the family and appears to be the leader of his branch of his family as he is the older brother to Three Finger and One Eye. He is killed at the end of the first film and does not appear again until the first prequel, Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings , Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines and then Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort .", "One Eye, the least harmful of the three, first appears in Wrong Turn (2003). Just like Saw Tooth, he dies in the first film, and does not make another appearance until the fourth, fifth and sixth film.", "The Patriarch of the cannibals who appeared in the first two films and the fifth film.", "Wrong Turn 2: Dead End introduces a family of four cannibals called Ma, Pa, Brother and Sister. The two young siblings are shown to have an incestuous relationship; Sister even gets extremely jealous and angry when she catches Brother masturbating while spying on a human girl. Ma gives birth to a mutant baby before she (and the rest of her family) is killed. The second film ends with Three Finger caring for the baby. The baby becomes known as Three Toes in Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead . Three Toes is killed by a group of convicts, and his head left as a warning. Three Finger finds Three Toes' severed head, which makes him furious. He creates a shrine and leaves the head on display in his cabin. In the third film's ending, another cannibal shows up, killing Brandon. The sixth film introduces Sally, Danny, and Jackson.", "The Wrong Turn (2021) reboot introduces the Foundation, a self-sufficient civilization who have lived on the Appalachian Trail since the 19th century.

["Wrong Side of the Road is a 1981 low-budget feature film made in South Australia . It is distinctive for being one of the first attempts to bring modern Australian Aboriginal music to a non- Indigenous audience, featuring all-Aboriginal rock reggae bands No Fixed Address and Us Mob . [ 1 ]", "The film grew out of the work that a white musician, Graeme Isaac , was doing with disaffected Aboriginal youths in Adelaide , South Australia, in the late 1970s. He encouraged them to move beyond country music (which had been the principal idiom for non-traditional Aboriginal musicians), and to explore rock and reggae . Out of this, a number of garage bands were formed, and attained a limited but ardent following in South Australian indigenous communities. The marginalised lifestyle of the musicians often brought them into contact with police and the courts, and Isaac recognised that this provided the raw material for a story that could be made into a film.", "Isaac approached Ned Lander (an established socially-committed documentary film-maker from Sydney ) with his idea, and a script was written, loosely based on the real lives of two of the bands Isaac had nurtured, Us Mob (who played straightforward rock) and No Fixed Address (whose music was strongly reggae-influenced). The script interspersed the music of the bands with episodes of conflict with the police, and finished with a triumphant homecoming gig at an Aboriginal community. The musicians, their families, and their community committed to the movie, and largely played themselves, under their own names, even though the story was fictionalised.", "With limited funding, mostly from an Australian government film-funding scheme, and the support of a group of non-indigenous film technicians and actors, shooting on 16mm film took place over a period of four weeks in 1980. [ 2 ]", "The film, combining elements of road-movie and musical, drama and documentary, was released in 1981.", "The harassment and discrimination that indigenous Australians routinely endured was exposed to an audience that had been largely oblivious, and contributed to an increased awareness of those issues in the wider Australian and international communities. Both bands in the film gained increased popularity, with No Fixed Address in particular achieving ground-breaking (though limited) exposure on mainstream Australian AM and FM radio .", "Wrong Side of the Road won a number of awards, both in Australia and internationally. At the 1981 Australian Film Institute Awards , it received the Jury Prize and was also nominated for Best Film and Best Original Music Score . [ 3 ]", "The film's soundtrack was released in 1981 on Black Australia Records. Side 1 was No Fixed Address and Side 2 was Us Mob . It was produced by Philip Roberts and Graeme Isaac.", "No Fixed Address", "Us Mob", "A digital restoration of Wrong Side of the Road premiered at the 60th Sydney Film Festival (SFF) on 14 June 2013. The restoration was presented by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) . [ 5 ]", "With the expert technical support of Efilm /Deluxe, the film was restored frame by frame, and is now preserved in both analogue and digital formats.", "Working with director Ned Lander and producer Graeme Isaac, the Indigenous Collections team of the NFSA gathered the ten surviving Aboriginal cast members back together in Sydney to conduct a series of oral history interviews to capture some of the stories about making the film as well as explore the impact this film has had on their lives and that of communities across Australia.", "The interviews gave band and cast members an opportunity to tell their stories about their involvement in the film, its social and political message and the connection with their music. A wide range of issues was discussed ranging from racism, deaths in custody, identity and land rights."]

["Wrong Is Right , released in the UK as The Man with the Deadly Lens , is a 1982 American political satire comedy thriller film directed, written, and co-produced by Richard Brooks and starring Sean Connery as TV news reporter Patrick Hale. The film, based on Charles McCarry 's novel The Better Angels (1979), is about the theft of two suitcase nukes .

The US uses this as pretext for invading the Middle East and taking possession of oilfields. Hale correctly intuits that the government had planted the bombs in order to rally US support for the invasion, but gladly covers the story the way the government wants in exchange for front-line access to film the action.", "Filming [ 5 ] [ 6 ] locations include El Paso , [ 7 ] \" New York, Washington, D.C., Texas, New Mexico, France, Italy\", [ 8 ] the Alamo [ 9 ] in San Antonio, [ 10 ] White Sands National Park, [ 11 ] \"Alamogordo and Albuquerque\", and others.", "Brooks made a product placement deal with the Sony, which allowed use of Sony television monitors and news equipment.

[ 13 ] [ 14 ]", "Stanley Kauffmann of The New Republic wrote, \" Wrong Is Right is possibly the noisiest film ever made, and the most incessantly whirling one. Its only distinction is that, besides being basically rotten, it is also rotten on the surface.\" [ 15 ]", "Donald Guarisco of AllMovie said, \"If viewed through a cult-movie mindset, it's easy to see why Wrong Is Right is appealing to that group of viewers. The script has a scathing, darkly funny take on international politics that one wouldn't expect from a well-funded Hollywood project of the early 1980's and also mixes up offbeat humor and message-oriented drama in a way that keeps the film from affecting a comfortable Hollywood style.\" [ 16 ] [ 17 ]", "Rosalind Cash was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture ."]

["The Wrong Move ( German : Falsche Bewegung – \"False Movement\") is a 1975 German road movie directed by Wim Wenders . This was the second part of Wenders' \" Road Movie trilogy \" which included Alice in the Cities (1974) and Kings of the Road (1976).", "With long carefully composed shots characteristic of Wenders' work, the story follows the wanderings of an aspiring young writer, Wilhelm Meister , as he explores his native country, encounters its people and starts defining his vocation. His thoughts are occasionally presented in voice-over. The work is a rough adaption of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 's 1795-96 novel Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship , [ 2 ] an early example of the Bildungsroman [ 3 ] or novel of initiation.", "Aiming to be a writer, Wilhelm leaves his mother and girlfriend in his home town of Glückstadt in the flat far north of Germany and sets out for Bonn . Changing trains at Hamburg , he notices a beautiful actress, Therese, and obtains her phone number. In his compartment are an older man, Laertes, who sometimes communicates by playing a harmonica, and a teen acrobat, Mignon, who appears to be mute. The pair have no money, so Wilhelm pays their fare and puts them up in his cheap hotel, where Therese joins them. Bernhard, an awkward Austrian who wants to be a poet, befriends the four. He says he has a rich uncle with a castle on a peak overlooking the Rhine , but when the five turn up it is the wrong place. Despite their error the owner welcomes them, because their arrival prevented him shooting himself; he says they can stay as long as they like.", "However, tensions grow, for Wilhelm is not giving Therese the affection she wants, while Mignon signals her availability to him. Laertes disgusts Wilhelm by revealing his role in the Holocaust and his feeling guilt but not repentance. The owner of the castle then hangs himself, upon which the five leave hastily. Bernhard goes off alone, while Therese takes the other three to her small flat in Frankfurt , where the tensions grow worse. Leaving on his own, Wilhelm completes his symbolic journey by reaching one of the most southerly, highest and emptiest points in Germany, the summit of the Zugspitze .", "According to Wenders, although Wrong Move is based on Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship , screenwriter Peter Handke did not use any of the book's dialogue and incorporated a minimal amount of its action, mainly borrowing its concept of a young man \"on a journey of self-realization\". [ 3 ] Wenders also toyed with the idea of whether such a journey would be a mistake, and hence Handke and Wenders made the film as a refutation of Goethe's novel and German Romanticism , in which their character suffers because of his travels. [ 3 ] Wenders also said that Wrong Move is about how to be able to grasp the world through language. [ 4 ]", "Following The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty (1972), Wrong Move was Wenders' second film collaboration with his friend Handke, who was already a respected author. Handke wrote the screenplay two years after his mother had killed herself, which had deeply affected him and influenced the story's dark tone. [ 3 ]", "The film was shot over four weeks, including from a helicopter over the Elbe River . [ 3 ] Landscape shots in the film were inspired by the 18th-century paintings of German artist Caspar David Friedrich . [ 5 ]", "The film marks the debut of Nastassja Kinski , whom Wenders' wife discovered in a disco in Munich . [ 6 ] She appeared topless in Wrong Move , and was 12 years old at the time of filming. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Later she played one of the leading roles in Wenders' film Paris, Texas (1984), as well as appearing in his Faraway, So Close (1993).", "On its international release, the title Falsche Bewegung proved challenging to render in English . The literal meaning is \"False Movement\", but in the United Kingdom it was released as The Wrong Move , while in the United States, it was titled The Wrong Movement . [ 8 ]", "In 2016, The Criterion Collection released the film as Wrong Move on DVD and Blu-ray in Region 1 . It was included with Alice in the Cities and Kings of the Road in the boxset Wim Wenders: The Road Trilogy . [ 9 ]", "In 2008, Chris Petit of The Guardian said initial reaction to Wrong Move was that \"it felt talky and clotted, but now looks among the best of the work and much more considered than the popular Wings of Desire (1987)\". [ 10 ] Critic Richard Brody writes in The New Yorker that Wrong Move is one of Wenders' best films, calling it a virtual documentary of West German sights and moods. [ 2 ] Dave Kehr, writing for the Chicago Reader , states that \"it's Wenders's most dour film, and the grim tone takes its toll. There is, though, a solid and disturbing talent at work here\". [ 11 ] Jonathan Romney calls it \"a film dense with philosophizing and speechifying, and the most thoroughly literary of all Wenders's films\". [ 4 ] TV Guide states that Wrong Move is \"engaging\" because of Wenders' direction, in spite of its emotional distance and unsympathetic characters. [ 12 ]", "However, Time Out wrote that Wrong Move was unusual for Wenders' filmography, finding fault in Handke's screenplay. [ 13 ] Evaluating how it fitted into the \"Road Movie trilogy\", The A.V. Club asserts \"it's unlikely that anyone saw Wenders' next film, Wrong Move , as any sort of sequel to Alice , spiritual or otherwise\". The A.V. Club goes on to suggest that in being \"far uglier and more depressive than the trilogy's bookends\", it \"perhaps serves as a necessary corrective to the other two films, suggesting as it does that there's no escaping one's own inner nature\". [ 14 ]", "Wrong Move competed for the Gold Hugo at the 1975 Chicago International Film Festival . [ 15 ] It also won several honours at the German Film Awards , marking the first of two times Peter Kern won an acting award at the ceremony. [ 16 ]"]

The film was released on February 27, 1927, by Universal Pictures . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]", "As described in a film magazine, [ 4 ] Seymour White is vice-president of the White Corset company, a concern dying a slow but sure death because of the old-fashioned methods adhered to by Seymour’s father, J. Silas White, who refuses to listen to advice from wellmeaning employees. They urge him to manufacture corsets and lingerie that will appeal to women of the present day. Seymour, a middle-aged man, has never married because of a childhood sweetheart who jilted him fifteen years before. Seymour receives a letter from his long-lost sweetheart and departs for Atlantic City to see her on the same day that Fred Bond, sales manager of the company, John Wright, cashier, and Wright’s daughter, Teddy, conspire to take $10,000 allotted by White for advertising purposes and manufacture twentieth century lingerie which they show at the fashion review in Atlantic City. Upon discovering the disappearance of his cashier and the $10,000, Silas employs a private detective and his assistant, who see Seymour scrutinizing a corset advertisement. They decide he might be the missing Mr. Wright and follow him to Atlantic City. Seymour catches sight of his erstwhile sweetheart before she sees him and his love for her immediately cools, as she has grown very fat and has three children tugging at her dress. When she faintly recognizes Seymour, he denies that he is White and, seizing upon the first name he can think of, takes the name of Wright. When he registers as Wright, the detectives are sure they have their man, but the girl asks for more time in order to wring a confession out of Seymour.", "When she makes herself attractive to Seymour, he falls desperately in love with her and, forgetting his years of scrimping and saving, dresses in the height of fashion. In the meantime the real Mr. Wright and his daughter enter their new designs in the fashion show and take it by storm, assuring a wave of prosperity for the White Corset Company. The girl detective, instead of wheedling a confession out of Seymour, falls in love with him herself, much to the disgust of her employer.", "Seymour gets out of his engagement with the childhood sweetheart by disguising himself as a seedy oaf. Seeing her first love looking like a tramp, she breaks her agreement before witnesses, to Seymour’s great joy, for he is now able to straighten out the whole mess and marry the lady detective."]

["The Wrong Missy is a 2020 American romantic comedy film directed by Tyler Spindel which was produced by Happy Madison Productions . With a screenplay by Chris Pappas and Kevin Barnett, the film stars David Spade as a recently single businessman who accidentally invites a woman ( Lauren Lapkus ) with whom he had a horrible first date to a corporate retreat after a case of mistaken identity .", "The film was released on Netflix on May 13, 2020, and received mostly negative reviews from critics.", "In Portland , Tim has a blind date with Melissa, nicknamed Missy, who turns out to be extremely strange, and her oddball behavior turns out to be both dangerous and disastrous. Her wild antics force Tim to sneak out of the restaurant through a bathroom window, thereby dislocating his ankle.", "Three months later, Tim bumps into a beautiful and successful woman (also named Melissa) at the airport. They connect over drinks, finding out they have nearly everything in common and seem to be perfect for each other. She gives him her number.", "After a series of intimate texts, he eventually invites Melissa to his work retreat in Hawaii . However, Missy shows up on the plane, and Tim realizes he had been texting the wrong Melissa the whole time. The antics start again as Missy forcibly gives him a tranquilizer and, when he awakens, she is giving him a handjob.", "On the corporate retreat in Hawaii, the new CEO, Jack Winstone, greets everyone at the welcome party. When Missy makes an appearance, she is awkward and wild, and seems to always leave Tim in embarrassing situations in front of his boss and colleagues. Back at their room, he awakens from another tranquilized state to her on top of him, riding him cowgirl style. She often becomes reckless and intoxicated and her behavior humiliates Tim.", "However, before too long, Missy starts to help Tim succeed at his work retreat, and even hypnotizes his boss to win his favor. As they spend more time together, Tim eventually begins to fall for her. His workplace competitor, Jess \"the Barracuda\", is not pleased when Winstone gives a job to Tim instead of her, so she reveals to Missy that her invitation was a mistake, and Tim had wanted to bring someone else. When Missy checks Tim's phone, she finds out the truth. Saddened and devastated, she leaves Hawaii.", "However, at the moment Missy leaves in a cab, the actual Melissa arrives in Hawaii (having been invited by Jess). At lunch, Tim begins acting outlandishly, much like Missy did on their first date, imbibing a bevy of alcoholic shots and then performing a walking handstand in the dining room. After falling from the balcony and crippling himself, Tim lets the new Melissa know that he has developed feelings for Missy, and then departs Hawaii. Back in the office, Tim decides to remove the hypnotic spell Missy put on his boss by uttering the obscene and obscure magic words. His honesty results in him losing his job.", "Tim tricks Missy into a date, where he plays the same trick that she had used on him. Except she meets Vanilla Ice at the bar. Tim comes up and apologizes to her and tells her he used to want someone exactly like him, but now realizes he does not. He tells her all the things that he likes about her, and says that he wants to be more like her. She forgives him, and they kiss.", "The film was announced in January 2019, with David Spade set to star and Tyler Spindel directing.

["The Wrong Man is a 1917 American silent Western film , featuring Harry Carey . Like many American films of the time, The Wrong Man was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards . The Chicago Board of Censors cut six holdup scenes from the film. [ 1 ]", "In the heat of June 1891, two men make their way across the barren desert toward the edge-of-nowhere town of Guadaloop. One of them, Jack, is a young prospector chasing fortune in the sands. The other, Ben Bostwick, is a down-and-out figure known around town as a bit of a failure. At the heart of Guadaloop stands \"The Silver Top\" Saloon—part watering hole, part town hall—run by Larry Malone, who holds sway over just about everything that happens there. Larry’s friend, Chip Stevens, is always nearby, never far from the action.", "When the stagecoach arrives, its driver steps into the saloon and, between drinks, casually mentions he's hauling a sum of money—but more importantly, he brags that a hefty $5,000 payment for the Banner Mine will be coming through next week. This piques Chip’s interest.", "Around the same time, Alice Malone pays a visit to her father, Larry, right as he's reading a letter from an associate. The message is clear: if the town doesn't appoint a sheriff soon, federal marshals will come in and impose order themselves. Wanting to keep control, Larry decides to push a sheriff into office—someone harmless. Chip suggests Ben Bostwick. Larry agrees, and with a little influence from the town's power players, Ben ends up with a badge and a gun, proudly showing them off, oblivious to the fact that most folks are laughing behind his back.", "Jack soon heads back out into the desert, but Ben declines to join him. Before Jack leaves, Alice, who has promised to marry him once he strikes it rich, urges him not to be gone too long.", "Meanwhile, Chip and a couple of cohorts plan a robbery of the incoming Banner Mine cash. While scoping out the area, Jack happens to spot them getting ready for something suspicious and decides to investigate. The stage is attacked—two of the bandits are gunned down—and Chip manages to climb aboard, shooting the driver as he searches for the money. Jack catches up and jumps onto the moving stage. They struggle, and both end up thrown from the vehicle as the horses bolt down the road.", "Chip comes to first. Seeing Jack unconscious nearby, he switches their masks, making it look like Jack was the attacker, grabs the stolen money, and takes off. He meets up with a surviving partner and heads toward safety.", "Back in Guadaloop, the stagecoach limps into town with no driver and word spreads fast. Ben grabs his guns and rides out to catch the thieves. He finds Jack, still masked, lying in the dirt. Heartbroken but believing he’s captured a criminal, Ben hauls him back and locks him in the town jail.", "Alice, hearing what’s happened, sneaks him a bar through the window. Jack uses it to pry his way out and rides off in pursuit of Chip. He catches up with him just as Chip is making his getaway with the gold. Ben and Alice arrive shortly after and see Jack bringing the real culprit in.", "To save face and restore order, they spin the tale: the arrest was all part of a clever ruse to trick the outlaw into revealing himself. With Chip in custody, Ben escorts him back to town, while Jack and Alice linger behind, finally free to be together."]
