So such films can seem, on the surface, like self-hatred, or at least self-criticism, he says ) Kevin Hagopian, a senior lecturer at Penn State specializing in film theory and American movie history, finds it interesting that movie companies themselves typically are part of huge, multinational conglomerates Don't look for Manchuria, either â€â€? the action stems from the first Gulf War " "Hollywood wants to find villains that won't get them heat from racial/ethnic advocacy groups and who will still `work' with audiences One villain that does endure is the viperish virago of "The Manchurian Candidate "That's certainly something that our society hasn't progressed beyond or redefined as inappropriate And the movie "just happened to step over a line or two because life caught up with the art," says the daughter of the original movie's star, Frank Sinatra And businessmen are almost always Goliaths now As long ago as 1985, producer Donald Bellisario, whose credits include "Magnum P Going back to 1941, Frank Capra's "Meet John Doe" was full of paranoia about business influence, Pitney points out Remember: in 1983's "Silkwood," the real-life character played by Meryl Streep met an untimely death on her way to meeting with a reporter to blow the whistle on her company " And the giant would fall In John Frankenheimer's revered original, Chinese Communists were the heavies "Perhaps the movies are acknowledging that, in an era of diminished government, a weakened organized labor sector, and dramatically lowered civic participation of all kinds, the corporation has become the central organization in American's lives," he says And who can forget the rapacious Gordon Gekko â€â€? Michael Douglas' Academy Award-winning star turn â€â€? of Oliver Stone's "Wall Street"? Concern about stereotypes has emptied the Hollywood storehouse of stock villains, Pitney says, which helps explain why no Arabs are depicted as the prime evildoers in "The Manchurian Candidate "We set it in the reality of the war, but from there it was all made up Characters like George Bailey â€â€? James Stewart's humble, caring building-and-loan president in the Christmastime chestnut "It's A Wonderful Life" â€â€? are hardly seen anymore " While movies portray corporations as capable of great harm, they also portray them as subject to the crusading will of brave, reforming individuals â€â€? like "Erin Brockovich," Julia Roberts' Oscar-winning role No" and "Goldfinger" focus on "freewheeling capitalists" as bad guys, notes Jeffrey Hart, professor of political science at Indiana University In Jonathan Demme's update, which opens Friday, the Manchurian Global corporation is the scheming enemy â€â€? which inevitably will resonate in some people's minds with the real-life role of Halliburton (Vice President Cheney's old company) in Iraq " The Cold War is over, so the Soviets are out; Middle East terrorists are a problem because Muslims and Arab-Americans have legitimate concerns about stereotyping, Pitney says, adding: "That leaves business people "This version of `The Manchurian Candidate,' though considerably darker than many recent films which seem to demonize the American corporation, still holds out the hope that even the biggest and most criminal corporation can fall to the idealistic citizen," Hagopian says T I "Three-quarters of voters may own stock, but they're worried that the guys in the suits are Enron-izing the value of their shares," he says , a professor of government at Claremont McKenna College in California But, he observes, "In all of the attacks on films as part of the culture wars by the right, very, very little ink is spilled on the negative portrayal of large corporations "The individual is king," he says " " Meryl Streep reprises the role so frighteningly filled by Angela Lansbury (yes, the kindly crimesolver of "Murder, She Wrote") In this era, Pitney says, "David would be flinging five smooth lawsuits against Goliath in a pinstripe suit Tina Sinatra, co-producer of the remake, concedes there are "certain parallels that one could draw to our current political setting White South Africans are a safe bet because they are not racial minorities and they can be presented as racist," says Stephanie Larson, a political science professor at Dickinson College And in 2001's "Antitrust," Ryan Phillipe's computer programmer gets wise to, then frustrates, the megalomaniacal ambitions of his mentor (Tim Robbins) Coincidence or not, corporate executives can serve as all-purpose villains, says John J It's certainly an old theme for Hollywood, too Pitney, Jr We kind of predated this Bush administration, and we certainly predated the second Gulf War "One thing that is retained in the remake is the demonizing of female power," notes Larson, the political science professor We were writing (the script) a long time ago "In the movies, David wins, though in the real world Goliath usually wins," he says (Still, you don't have to phone home to know that "E ," "Quantum Leap," and "JAG," said on PBS' "McNeil/Lehrer Newshour": "I mean, there's only two people, two classes of people you can portray as a villain on a television action-adventure show anymore, and that would be the Russians or white, middle-class Americans, businessmen preferably, right? Because they don't have any minority group to get up and raise hell " and other otherworldly creatures can be sweet and protective of puny earthlings Even early James Bond movies such as "Dr The only Manchurian is in the name of the villain â€â€? an evil multinational conglomerate But it didn't necessarily start out that way A good example of that was Bill Forsyth's 1983 film "Local Hero," in which the attempt by an oil billionaire to buy up a Scottish village gets faced down by a local hermit " She says she didn't have Halliburton in mind, and neither did co-screenwriter Daniel Pyne But you won't find any wacky Iraqis No Manchurians in 'Manchurian Candidate' Jul 27, 4:07 PM EST Don't look for any Manchurians in "The Manchurian Candidate" remake " "In the movies you look for somebody that everybody can hate with impunity," says Hart, adding, only half-jokingly, that's how aliens can come in handy Ultimately, the companies can be brought to heel " The reason, Hagopian suggests, is that there's usually redemption â€â€? "a conservative redemption The mad scientist/brainwashe r is a white South African Prince Michael I and Paris were born during his marriage to nurse Debbie Rowe, which ended in 1999 "I believe the children should be temporarily removed from Mr Attorney Wants Jackson's Children Removed Nov 21, 6:23 PM EST An attorney who has tangled with Michael Jackson in the past called Friday for Santa Barbara child welfare authorities to temporarily remove the pop star's three children from his custody because of new child molestation allegations The Jackson family was at the Las Vegas studio of CMX Productions Inc He would not say whether Michael Jackson was among the group It never stops, you know, sensationalism in the media," Jones said â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Associated Press Writers Jeff Wilson in Santa Barbara, Gillian Flaccus in Los Olivos and Christina Almeida and Ken Ritter in Las Vegas contributed to this report Diddy" Combs told "Access Hollywood" he hoped the public will give Jackson the benefit of the doubt Dean, deputy director of Santa Barbara County Social Services, on Thursday declined to say whether there were plans to take Jackson's children into custody, citing confidentiality rules Media reports have said the alleged victim is a 12- or 13-year-old cancer survivor who visited Jackson at his Neverland Ranch, a storybook playland where the singer, who has befriended several cancer victims, was known to hold sleep-overs for children and share his bed with youngsters combined with present criminal allegations," she said Dean said that generally, criminal charges can prompt a child welfare investigation, but he added that such an investigation is not automatic Other people believe my client's son is the boy, but I can't confirm it Friday He's been known to walk up and down the street here," said Sharon Frowiss, manager of Jedlicka's Saddlery Inc "Everybody's lives are about to be turned upside down, so I would say wait and see what's really going on before you jump to judgment "Around this town people are used to seeing Michael A lawyer for the father of one young cancer patient told The Associated Press his client's son was invited to a sleep-over at the ranch Quincy Jones, producer of Jackson's landmark "Thriller" album, told the syndicated TV program "Access Hollywood," he was concerned about the media coverage of the case The father is seeking custody of the boy from his ex-wife , where he recently bought a $229 tricycle A Green Valley Ranch spokeswoman declined comment on a report that Michael Jackson was seen leaving the hotel-casino about 4 a " In the town of Los Olivos near Neverland, store owners defended Jackson and said that over the years he had become a common sight in the community A child-welfare investigation of Jackson is warranted because of his statements about sleepovers with children, the previous molestation allegation and an incident in which he dangled his baby son outside the window of a German hotel last year, Allred told a news conference But his client doesn't know if his son is the child who is at the center of the molestation investigation, said attorney H Michael X "When he walked in the door you said, 'Oh my gosh,' but then you keep it to yourself and go about your business," she said Jackson has two boys, 6-year-old Prince Michael I and the baby, Prince Michael II Rap star Sean "P I can't say for certain he's the boy in the case We are bombarded all day with choices from the Beltway Sniper to Laci Peterson In 1993 Allred briefly represented a 13-year-old boy involved in a molestation allegation that never led to criminal charges, but reportedly ended with Jackson paying a multimillion-dollar civil settlement Since then she has twice asked child-welfare officials to investigate Jackson Russell Halpern The demand by attorney Gloria Allred came as quiet descended on Santa Barbara following Jackson's media-saturated surrender Thursday, and his whereabouts became unclear after his release on bail and return to the Las Vegas area with a two-hour motorcade to a Henderson hotel-casino He also has a 5-year-old daughter, Paris Little is known about Prince Michael II, whose mother has not been identified Halpern reiterated Friday that media reports were "assuming that my client's son is the object of the child molestation case m "I don't know what to think about it Jackson's care and custody because of the history of Michael Jackson with children Allred said authorities have the power to intervene when there is a "substantial risk that a child will be sexually abused by his or her parent" and shouldn't wait until the outcome of any criminal case on Friday, said company spokesman Dean DeLorean " Meanwhile, Jackson was finding some sympathy among music associates and neighbors "I would say for us all to wait until the evidence is in," Combs said The Santa Barbara district attorney does not plan to file charges until after Thanksgiving |
