Trevor Lynch's White Nationalist Guide to the Movies Counter-Currents Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Since 2001, Trevor Lynch's witty, pugnacious, and profound film essays and reviews have developed a wide following among cinephiles and White Nationalists alike. Lynch deals frankly with the anti-white bias and Jewish agenda of many mainstream films, but he is even more interested in discerning positive racial messages and values, sometimes in the most unlikely places.Trevor Lynch's White Nationalist Guide to the Movies gathers together some of his best essays and reviews covering 32 movies, including his startling philosophical readings of Pulp Fiction, The Dark Knight Trilogy, and Mishima; his racialist interpretations of The Lord of the Rings and Gangs of New York; his masculinist readings of The Twilight Saga and A History of Violence; his insights into the Jewish nature of the superhero genre occasioned by Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy movies; and his hilarious demolitions of The Matrix Trilogy, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series, and the detritus of Quentin Tarantino's long decline.Trevor Lynch's White Nationalist Guide to the Movies establishes its author as a leading cultural theorist and critic of the North American New Right."Trevor Lynch provides us with a highly literate, insightful, and even philosophical perspective on film-one that will send you running to the video rental store for a look at some very worthwhile movies-although he is also quite willing to tell you what not to see. He sees movies without the usual blinders. He is quite aware that because Hollywood is controlled by Jews, one must typically analyze movies for their propaganda value in the project of white dispossession. Trevor Lynch's collection is a must read for anyone attempting to understand the deep undercurrents of the contemporary culture of the West."- Kevin MacDonald, author of The Culture of Critique, from the Foreword"Hollywood has been deconstructing the white race for nearly a century. Now Trevor Lynch is fighting back, deconstructing Hollywood from a White Nationalist point of view. But these essays are not just of interest to White Nationalists. Lynch offers profound and original insights into more than 30 films, including Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy, and Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. These essays combine a cultural and philosophical sophistication beyond anything in film studies today with a lucid, accessible, and entertaining prose style. Every serious cineaste needs to read this book."- Edmund Connelly"The Hollywood movie may be the greatest vehicle of deception ever invented, and the passive white viewer is its primary target. Yet White Nationalist philosopher and film critic Trevor Lynch demonstrates that truth is to be found even in this unlikeliest of places. If American audiences could learn the kind of critical appreciation Mr. Lynch demonstrates for them, their seductive enemies in Tinseltown wouldn't stand a chance."- F. Roger Devlin, author of Alexandre Kojčve and the Outcome of Modern Thought"Trevor Lynch's White Nationalist Guide to the Movies is not some collection of vein-popping rants about Hollywood's political agendas. It's a thoughtful and engaging examination of ideas in popular films from a perspective you won't find in your local newspaper or in Entertainment Weekly. Lynch has chosen films that-in many cases-he actually enjoyed, and playfully teased out the New Right themes that mainstream reviewers can only afford to address with a careful measure of scorn. How many trees have been felled to print all of the Marxist, feminist, minority-pandering 'critiques' of contemporary celluloid over the past fifty years? Isn't it about time we read an explicitly white review of The Fellowship of the Ring, or Traditionalist take on take on The Dark Knight?"- Jack Donovan, author of The Way of Men

James Bond Movies of the 1980s Crescent Moon Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
THE JAMES BOND MOVIES OF THE 1980s A survey of the series of James Bond films of the Eighties, which included The Living Daylights, License To Kill, For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy (as well as the Sean Connery film Never Say Never Again). The Bond movies have long been considered among the most popular and successful of British movies, and have also come to be regarded as a useful barometer of Western geopolitical attitudes throughout the series' long-running duration. This new book from Thomas A. Christie takes a look at all of the James Bond movies produced during the 1980s, and investigates the series' changing approach to its subject matter during this most socially turbulent of decades. Moving from the East-West tension plotlines of the later Roger Moore James Bond films (such as A View To a Kill and Octopussy), into a conscious deviation towards less conventional subject areas during the Timothy Dalton era (License To Kill and The Living Daylights), Bond's evolving role as a Cold War hero is examined in order to ascertain just how the character was adapted to meet the demands of rapidly changing world affairs. The Eighties saw a more nuanced approach to the Iron Curtain in comparison to earlier films in the James Bond series, with the films covering topics as wide-ranging as free-market capitalism and the home electronics boom, and the movie producers' ongoing efforts to ensure the cycle's continuing relevance to contemporary audiences are considered in detail. Drawing on statistical data and a wide range of research material, The James Bond Movies of the Eighties considers issues such as the films' cultural impact, the series' radical shifts in style, and its often subtle approach to issues of ideology both domestic and international. Assessing this multifaceted era of the Bond series, this book evaluates differences in contemporary critiques and asks to what extent these motion pictures succeeded in charting the seismic shifts in the global balance of power which took place during that eventful period of history. Fully illustrated, featuring film posters and stills from the movies (and toys and merchandizing). Bibliography and notes. 344pp. ISBN 9781861714855. Clothbound edition, in blue cloth embossed with gold letters, and a flyleaf cover. www.crmoon.com ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Thomas Christie is the author of Liv Tyler, Star in Ascendance: Her First Decade in Film (2007), The Cinema of Richard Linklater (2008), John Hughes and Eighties Cinema (2009), Ferris Bueller's Day Off: Pocket Movie Guide (2010) and The Christmas Movie Book (2011), all of which are published by Crescent Moon Publishing.

Shadow of the Sun Penguin

'Only with the greatest of simplifications, for the sake of convenience, can we say Africa. In reality, except as a geographical term, Africa doesn't exist'. Ryszard Kapuscinski has been writing about the people of Africa throughout his career. In a study that avoids the official routes, palaces and big politics, he sets out to create an account of post-colonial Africa seen at once as a whole and as a location that wholly defies generalised explanations. It is both a sustained meditation on the mosaic of peoples and practises we call 'Africa', and an impassioned attempt to come to terms with humanity itself as it struggles to escape from foreign domination, from the intoxications of freedom, from war and from politics as theft. The Beginning: Collision, Ghana 1958 More than anything, one is struck by the light. Light everywhere. Brightness everywhere. Everywhere, the sun. Just yesterday, an autumnal London was drenched in rain. The airplane drenched in rain. A cold, wind, darkness. But here, from the morning

Stanley Kubrick BERTRAMS PRINT ON DEMAND
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
From his first feature film, "Fear and Desire" (1953), to his final, posthumously released "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999), Stanley Kubrick excelled at probing the dark corners of human consciousness. In doing so, he adapted such popular novels as "The Killing," "Lolita," "A Clockwork Orange," and "The Shining" and selected a wide variety of genres for his films -- black comedy ("Dr. Strangelove"), science fiction ("2001: A Space Odyssey"), and war ("Paths of Glory" and "Full Metal Jacket"). Because he was peerless in unveiling the intimate mysteries of human nature, no new film by Kubrick ever failed to spark debate or to be deeply pondered. Kubrick (1928-1999) has remained as elusive as the subjects of his films. Unlike many other filmmakers he was not inclined to grant interviews, instead preferring to let his movies speak for themselves. By allowing both critics and moviegoers to see the inner workings of this reclusive filmmaker, this first comprehensive collection of his relatively few interviews is invaluable. Ranging from 1959 to 1987 and including Kubrick's conversations with Gene Siskel, Jeremy Bernstein, Gene D. Phillips, and others, this book reveals Kubrick's diverse interests -- nuclear energy and its consequences, space exploration, science fiction, literature, religion, psychoanalysis, the effects of violence, and even chess -- and discloses how each affects his films. He enthusiastically speaks of how advances in camera and sound technology made his films more effective.Kubrick details his hands-on approach to filmmaking as he discusses why he supervises nearly every aspect of production. "All the hand-held camerawork is mine," he says in a 1972 interview about "A Clockwork Orange." "In addition to the fun of doing the shooting myself, I find it virtually impossible to explain what I want in a hand-held shot to even the most talented and sensitive camera operator. "Neither guarded nor evasive, the Kubrick who emerges from these interviews is candid, opinionated, confident, and articulate. His incredible memory and his gift for organization come to light as he quotes verbatim sections of reviews, books, and articles. Despite his reputation as a recluse, the Kubrick of these interviews is approachable, witty, full of anecdotes, and eager to share a fascinating story.

From Pure Animal to Critical Human. Why Do We Use Anthropomorphism in Animation? Grin Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Film Science, grade: 56.00%, University for the Creative Arts, course: Creative Arts for Theatre & Film, language: English, abstract: The subject that will be covered in this dissertation is the use of Anthropomorphism in animated film including Halas & Batchelor's "Animal Farm", Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King". Why do films such as these use animals as the protagonist? The dissertation analyses the research found on anthropomorphism and the authors that have covered the reasons why animals are used so widely in animation. The term anthropomorphism is used when an animal or object is given human characteristics and behaviour. The first implication of anthropomorphism came about in the late 19th century and as independent scholar Nigel Rothfels states:"It was during the nineteenth century, with the rise of modernism in literature and art that animals came to occupy the thoughts of a culture in transition. As they disappeared, animals became increasingly the subjects of a nostalgic curiosity." (Rothfels, 2002:124)Rothfels informs us that the original meaning of anthropomorphism was connected with the use of animal icons in religion. Lecture Robin Allan in his essay "European influences on early Disney feature films" (1997:245) agrees that anthropomorphism is ancient and from "Aesop onwards (it) has been used for many purposes including social and political satire." During modernity there was a shift in beliefs and with this change animals represented culture in transition and there was an element of sentimentality to anthropomorphism and in the 20th century the growth of technology saw this expand further. According to evidence gathered from research in sociology covered in more depth in Sun Ping, Teacher of Ideological and Political Theory at a University in Beijing article (May 2015) Animals and humans share many similar traits and that it is possible for humans and animals to interact harmoniously.
