☆ Opinion: Why a line of dialogue truly can define a film

“Frankly, I hate dialogue,” Villeneuve told The Times of London. I don’t remember movies because of a good line, I remember movies because of a strong image. This supposed truism is heard everywhere in the film world and even taught to film writers. Cinema has never been a language of “pure image and sound.”Even in the age of silent films, dialogue rendered as inter-titles was critical to cinema. Charlie Chaplin stars in his 1931 silent film, "City Lights."

LONDON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - A new film "Callas - Paris, 1958" is about to transport audiences back to the night 65 years ago when opera legend Maria Callas for the first time dazzled a Paris audience. Celebrities including Charlie Chaplin, Brigitte Bardot and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, as well as then French president René Coty attended the three-hour performance at the Paris Opera. It was also broadcast live on television to more than 30 million people, but until film-maker Tom Volf and his team meticulously restored film reels that had lain forgotten, it had only been seen in black and white. He said the work of his team made the film "as vivid as if it was shot last month". It will be released in cinemas in some 40 countries between November and December in celebration of the centenary of Callas' birth.

Although children are predominantly featured in these monetized videos, parents have had no legal obligation to give them any portion of the earnings. “But we know with the explosion of social media that parents are using it to monetize kids being on videos. That California law required parents to set aside a portion of 15% of child earnings in a blocked trust account that the child actor could access after the age of 18. “Even though Illinois is the first state to pass such a law, this legislation is a long time coming,” Maddox said.

CNN —Robert Downey Jr. needs to work on his British accent, according to Kate Winslet. Besides playing Sherlock Holmes and Charlie Chaplin, he once auditioned for “The Holiday,” opposite Winslet, who asked him what was up with his accent. Downey Jr. appeared on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show,” and recalled reading for the Nancy Meyers 2006 holiday comedy with Jimmy Fallon. “I thought, honestly, I said, ‘If Jack Black says no to this movie, I’m so in,’” Fallon recalled in the same Stern interview. “‘I’ll do it for half his price.’”Fallon also praised Downey Jr., saying, “I’m sitting across from Robert Downey Jr., and I go, ‘This is the best actor I’ve ever sat across and did a scene with in my entire life.”“It was mind-blowing for me and it kind of, I quit the business.

☆ ‘After the Miracle’ Review: Helen Keller, Activist
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-14 | by ( Charlotte Gray | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

Charlie Chaplin and Helen Keller in 1918 on the set of ‘Sunnyside.’The Helen Keller that America loved was on display at New York’s Palace Theatre in 1920. Keller, whose sight and hearing were destroyed by an infection when she was an infant, had become a media sensation celebrated by presidents and tycoons. Now she was being advertised as “The Most Talked of Woman in the World! Blind, deaf, and formerly dumb, in ‘The Sweetest Love Story Ever Told.’ ”The vaudeville act began with Anne Sullivan, the teacher who met Keller when the latter was 7 years old, telling the audience how she had taught the unhappy, unmanageable child to understand words by spelling them out on her hand. Keller went on to learn Braille in both English and German, graduate from Harvard, write several books, and establish a friendship with Mark Twain.

[1/4] Cast member John Malkovich attends a photocall to promote the movie 'Seneca' at the 73rd Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin, Germany, February 20, 2023. "Seneca - On the Creation of Earthquakes" seeks an answer to this question, both very contemporary and eternal, in the last night of the first-century Roman philosopher's life, after he learns the Emperor Nero has ordered his death. "He talks a lot," said Malkovich. "And sometimes it was hard not to think, OK, but die and, you know, be quiet." He asks his young wife, played by an ethereal Lilith Stangenberg, to die with him to lend theatrical weight to his death and his dictums.

☆ Younger Chinese are spurning factory jobs that power the economy

For his father's generation, factory work was a lifeline out of rural poverty. For Zhu, and millions of other younger Chinese, the low pay, long hours of drudgery and the risk of injuries are no longer sacrifices worth making. Factory bosses say they would produce more, and faster, with younger blood replacing their ageing workforce. But offering the higher wages and better working conditions that younger Chinese want would risk eroding their competitive advantage. Yet young workers are vital to keep production moving.
