马尔科维奇的邮件 (2003)
Malkovich’s Mail Douban
吉斯·富顿 / 路易斯·沛沛 actor: 约翰·马尔科维奇
other title: Malkovich’s Mail
一部纪录片。 每天,成百上千封信件从美国甚至世界各地寄到约翰·马尔科维奇先生位于洛杉矶的工作室Mr. Mudd。这些信件都十分厚实,里面装着沉甸甸的手稿、打印稿或复印稿,它们的作者怀揣梦想,写一个又一个故事,然后把这些故事一股脑扔到马尔科维奇先生的工作室里,期待着一夜之间它们被搬上银幕。整个纪录片围绕着四个作者投递稿件的过程展开。 纪录片的制作者来到洛杉矶Mr. Mudd工作室,对马尔科维奇和他的同事进行采访,他们对于大量的投稿式信件表达了无奈。工作室的一名负责人说,我们只是把制作电影当做职业来干,没想更多别的事。纪录片制作者见到了那四份稿件,并请马尔科维奇一一看过。有一个剧本给了他不错的印象。影片的最后,在制作者的建议下,马尔科维奇在自己的摄影棚里给这四个故事的作者每人录制了一盘录像带,录像带的内容是马尔科维奇做主角的角色朗读。 片中马尔科维奇曾颇有些无奈地说道:”我们的办公室在好莱坞,但实际上我们差不多是局外人。你知道,我不是汤姆汉克斯,不是汤姆克鲁斯,不是丹泽尔华盛顿,不是梅尔吉布森,我不是他们中的任何一个。我意思是,上帝保佑他们,但我不是。因此我喜欢什么、我说什么好或怎么样,也许事实上好莱坞认为恰恰相反。“ 相信他是在委婉表示自己和好莱坞的格格不入。 一个很有意思的纪录片,让我们看到了圈外人的梦想和圈内人的艰辛。顺便说一句,马尔科维奇居然同意在最后来个不厌其烦的角色扮演,令人感到有些神奇,他看起来像个挺有耐心的家伙,而不像是个脾气不好的人。

纪录片。拍得一般,但不乏闪光处——就是malkovich表演那些剧本的部分——假如是别人,可能根本不会同意演。其实那些剧本不见得比已经拍成的好莱坞电影差,有些甚至很不错呢,比如那个cover letter开头冒充认识他的。可见在好莱坞breakthrough多么不容易。想到wes

other title: 合成器英伦
关于英国电子乐的记录片,时间跨度从70年代末的后朋克时期到80年代中期的电子流行。 70年代末,朋克还占据着英国的大街小巷,但总会有不同的东西吸引着年轻人的视线,越来越灰暗的伦敦街道也预示着什么的到来。 在JG Ballard科幻小说的刺激下和德国乐队Kraftwerk的启发下一帮年轻人,穷的响叮当的年轻人,包括Human League, Daniel Miller and Cabaret Volatire开始了采样器在英国的旅行。 接下来是嘉里纽曼在1979年的成功真正让合成电子乐进入到了主流社会。再接下来就是大名鼎鼎的Depeche Mode,他们今年还要在伦敦演出,幻想一下他们30年前的样子,噢,11月份之前你都可以在bbc的网站上看见他们。这一下爆发的合成流行风包括了 Ultravox, Soft Cell, OMD and Yazoo 。 每个乐队都有一个故事,1983年的宠物店男孩和新秩序巩固了合成流行的地位并指出了未来电子乐的方向。伊恩科虒斯永远长眠,但他如果看到今天的景象不知会做何感想,或者也会像他当年乐队的采样Bernard Sumner一样,沉着而幽默,因为音乐是永远向前的。

The Britpop Story (2006)

actor: John Harris / Justine Frischmann …
The Britpop Story was a documentary aired on BBC Four about the Britpop movement which occurred in Britain during the 1990s. The show was hosted by John Harris, who interviewed Elastica frontwoman Justine Frischmann and Louise Wener of the band Sleeper. The show started with a look at grunge music and how British music was at an all-time low. It charted with the development of Blur, Suede, Elastica and Sleeper. Harris recalled the time when he was at the "Good Mixer" pub in Camden Town, London with Noel and Liam Gallagher, on a "sightseeing" trip, when future rival Graham Coxon was there. There was further information on other Britpop groups, such as Menswear. There was a focus of Tony Blair and his support of Oasis, as well as showing the decline of the movement.

This documentary from Albert and David Maysles follows the bitter rivalry of four door-to-door salesmen working for the Mid-American Bible Company: Paul "The Badger" Brennan, Charles "The Gipper" McDevitt, James "The Rabbit" Baker and Raymond "The Bull" Martos. Times are tough for this hard-living quartet, who spend their days traveling through small-town America, trying their best to peddle gold-leaf Bibles to an apathetic crowd of lower-middle-class housewives and elderly couples.

原来都出CC了。。。说它好,或不好,都因为它太现实。生活中这样的故事有的是。可能比这精彩。当然,至少有两个因素影响我对它的理解:1,宗教;2,美国当时的社会背景;看着看着我就觉得好像拍纪录片并不难么。。。

A History of Horror with Mark Gatiss (2010)
A History of Horror with Mark Gatiss Season 1 part of TV Series: A History of Horror TMDB Douban
★ 6.9 12 ratings
Three-part series in which actor and writer Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen, Doctor Who, Sherlock) celebrates the greatest achievements of horror cinema. Mark uncovers stories behind the films of his favourite period - the 1950s and 60s - which fired his lifelong enthusiasm for horror. These mainly British pictures were dominated by the legendary Hammer Films, who rewrote the horror rulebook with a revolutionary infusion of sex and full-colour gore - all shot in the English Home Counties. Mark meets key Hammer figures to find out why their Frankenstein and Dracula films conquered the world, making international stars of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. He looks at the new boom of horror that followed in Hammer's wake, including the ravishing Italian movie Black Sunday, and talks to the influential American producer Roger Corman about his disturbing and dreamlike Edgar Allan Poe films. He also explores the intriguing cycle of British 'folk horror' films, such as The Wicker Man and Mark's personal favourite, Blood on Satan's Claw. Mark also speaks to leading horror ladies Barbara Steele and Barbara Shelley about their most famous roles, makes a pilgrimage to Whitstable, home of Peter Cushing, and finds out why Dracula's bedroom activities got the British censor steamed up.
