![]() ![]() Although that world was obviously very different from the real world of 1984, a deliberate choice was made to stick with the Orwellian vision in every way, anachronistic technology and all, and I firmly believe it was the right choice, as opposed to the "updating" we sometimes see in adaptations of classic "futuristic" stories. ![]() The look of the film is extraordinary in its evocation of the world Orwell created, down to the tiniest detail. ![]() If this were a big-budget Hollywood bomb, I might consider that a publicity stunt, but in the case of this little-known, little-seen British film, it's fairly obviously a form of homage. As noted in the end credits, the film "was photographed in and around London during the period April-June 1984, the exact time and setting imagined by the author". The film was obviously a labor of love for director Michael Radford, who also co-wrote the screenplay. In my opinion, this later version of "Nineteen Eighty Four" is one of the best literary adaptations I've seen. I am frankly mystified by the comments of those who seem to find this film disappointing or inadequate, and even more by those who claim to prefer the 1956 version, which I consider to be inferior in every respect to the later version, except for some top quality performances by Donald Pleasence and Michael Redgrave in supporting roles. ![]()

You get used to seeing a particular actor or actress in a role. It must have been a shock for the audience at the time. McKenzie took over for seasons 4, 5, and 6. The first three seasons of Marple had Geraldine McEwan in the title role. So we’re going back to the beginning and already, there’s a change. Thus, we’ve seen three Marple adaptations already ( The Secret of Chimneys, The Mirror Crack’d, and The Blue Geranium all from season 5). Agatha didn’t but producers play fast and loose with novel adaptations all the time. This will allow us to see if the producers have any kind of overall arc in mind. Bill and I decided to be more systematic about watching all the Agatha Christie films. We’ve been watching ITV’s Agatha Christie’s Marple TV adaptations out of order. If you’re familiar with the novel, you will most definitely notice and might throw what’s left of your cheese platter at the TV set.

(It hurts so good, you shouldn’t even bother about the fact that 2 Live Crew’s obscenity case never made it to the high court. Me then delivers the punchline via a memory of 2 Live Crew’s landmark obscenity case: “Though if I’d been on the other side of the bench, I would’ve snatched the fountain pen from Chief Justice Rehnquist’s hand and written the lone dissenting opinion, stating categorically that ‘any wack rapper whose signature tune is Me So Horny has no rights the white man, or any other B-boy worth his suede Pumas, was bound to respect.” Using the painful language of the majority opinion in Dred Scott as inspiration for a multicultural denunciation of empty-provocation rap: that right there is the Beatty touch. Also, his gambit winds up helping public-school test scores.)

Si esta historia corta finalmente logra una serialización, o Tite Kubo se anima a sacar más capítulos, puede ser interesante de leer. El dibujo denota calidad y un gran trabajo en lo que a diseños -sobre todo los dragones- conlleva. Las dos protagonistas son un dúo de contrarios bastante cómico, que conecta fácil con el lector, pero el tercer personaje en discordia es un chico bastante pervertido que me sacaba un poco de quicio.

Dragones que son necesarios para la vida en general, ya que son la fuente de materias primas. En este caso será en el Londres inverso donde los Wing Bind, un grupo de brujas y magos preparado, se encarguen de defender y manipular a los temibles dragones que allí habitan.

The study of feminist and queer thought on sex/gender and sexuality offers a critical lens through which to examine social structures and social problems, inequality, difference and diversity, identity and the self, belonging and community, and the possibility of social change, among other topics. At its most fundamental, the field addresses how persons are identified and identify themselves as similar to and different from each other and the relation of these categories of difference to power relations.
