Roger Ross Williams Eloquently Reveals We Are Stamped From The Beginning

What is wrong with Black People. Absolutely nothing. @netflix #stampedfromthebeginning #afifest

In 1860, Mississippi Senate Davis on the floor of the United States Senate opposed a bill funding education for Black people. To justify this, Davis crafted a made up fairytale he claimed came from the Bible around when Cain was exiled from the Garden of Eden. Apparently, Cain comes across the land of Naan and according to Senator Davis, this land was inhabited by animals and beasts that were…

NOC Review: 'The Fabelmans' is Fine

NOC Review: 'The Fabelmans' is Fine @thefabelmans #TheFabelmans

It’s award season. Which means every studio is going to tout out their maudlin batch of contenders that qualify as “cinema” all over town. Trying to get voters to desperately nominate them for every award, while name-dropping the who’s-who of bait-worthy talent. All while every self-important and self-proclaimed “cinephile” pretends to preach about the difference between true “art” and “garbage”…

Platoon (1986, Oliver Stone)

24/03/2024

Platoon is a 1986 film, written and directed by Oliver Stone, which deals with his time in Vietnam as a volunteer during the war and is inspired by the real experiences the director had between 1967 and 1971 during his military service.

The film won 4 Oscars out of 8 nominations and Oliver Stone was also awarded the Silver Bear in Berlin as best director. In 1998 the American Film Institute placed it in eighty-third place in the ranking of the one hundred best American films of all time, while ten years later, in the updated list, it dropped to eighty-sixth place. In 2019, it was chosen for preservation in the National Film Registry of the United States Library of Congress.

The bloodiest episode, as in many other films dealing with the Vietnam War, is inspired by the most atrocious event of that conflict, known to history as the My Lai massacre, in which American soldiers committed atrocities including rape of very young girls, indiscriminate killings of innocent civilians, destruction of the homes and resources of the inhabitants, believed to be allies of the Viet Cong, despite there being no evidence. From this perspective, the figure of the platoon commander, Lieutenant Wolfe, both for his inability to control his men and for other characteristics, can be traced back to the main person responsible for My Lai, the then US Army Lieutenant William Calley, convicted to several years of military detention for that very affair.

Due to an error by Lieutenant Wolfe, who gives wrong coordinates via radio, the platoon is decimated by friendly artillery.

In the last war action of his volunteer service, Chris escapes a deadly ambush by the Viet Cong who almost completely annihilate the platoon and the subsequent American bombing with napalm.

Initially Hollywood snubs the script as many producers are of the opinion that what three is to say about the Vietnam War has already been reported in highly successful films such as Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter, however the strength of Stone's script still attracts some producers who see enormous potential in him. He was then assigned to write a screenplay for another film, Stone accepted and wrote Midnight Express in 1977, thanks to which he won the Oscar for best non-original screenplay (first statuette for Stone) a fact that made all of Hollywood understand the Stone's enormous potential; it was therefore not difficult for him to find the producer to begin work on Platoon.

The film was shot, following the great example of Apocalypse Now, director Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece, on the island of Luzon, in the Philippines, starting in February 1986. The film's production was almost canceled due to the political upheavals in country, due to Ferdinand Marcos, dictator of the country. Upon arrival in the Philippines, the cast members underwent a two-week course of intensive training by Dale Dye (former Marine captain during the Vietnam War and interpreter of Captain Harris), during which they had to dig trenches and suffer forced marches and night "ambushes".

🚨 October 27 ‼️ FREUD'S LAST SESSION World Premiere AFI American Film Institute Film Fest in Hollywood. S

FreudsLastSession (118 mins)

Anthony Hopkins Matthew GoodE

SPECIAL SCREENING

Tickets on sale October 3

World Premiere

London, 1939. On the eve of the Second World War, the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins), hosts Oxford don and committed Christian C.S. Lewis (Matthew Goode) at his Hampstead home. Lewis, who would later author “The Chronicles of Narnia,” had recently written a minor fantasy novel that lightly spoofed the great doctor from Vienna and is sheepishly apologetic about it. Freud finds Lewis’ firm faith in a higher being unpersuasive at best, and prefers instead to explore the unexamined corners in Lewis’ life: his relationships to his late mother and his estranged father, his PTSD following service in the Great War, and his unusual relationship with his live-in companion, Janie Moore (Orla Brady), the mother of a fallen comrade. But then Freud, too, is tuning out things in his life: the need for his daughter Anna (Liv Lisa Fries) to live her life authentically, the seriousness of his cancer and worsening drug dependency, and the outbreak of war on the radio news. Directed by Matt Brown (THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY), Hopkins and Goode deliver crafty and moving performances as two of the 20th century’s great minds, whose intellectual sparring demonstrates both men’s formidable strengths and emotional vulnerabilities. –Todd Hitchcock

The film is getting a lot of Oscars buZZ even though the trailer has not even been released. Anthony Hopkins for BEST Actor, Matthew GoodE for BEST Supporting Actor, and Mark St. Germain for BEST adapted screenplay, and more. Also, according to Gold Derby, Anthony Hopkins is the top choice to receive AFI Life Achievement Award 2023!
