Talent Resume: Getting Out of Rhode Island, independent improvisational film, role of Brad Cicchetti / Intern to the Press |
His songs, too, were hits mostly for other performers: Melissa Manchester with "Don't Cry Out Loud," Olivia Newton-John with "I Honestly Love You When he died in 1992 â€â€? by which time he had scored an Academy Award, recorded 10 albums and starred on Broadway â€â€? Allen was still identified in obituaries as the man who had been discovered by Judy Garland and was the first husband of her daughter, Liza Minnelli "Peter was never a name," says Carole Bayer Sager, a frequent songwriting collaborator of Allen's " Even "The Boy From Oz," the new Broadway musical about him that has renewed interest in his work, is causing a stir mostly because of the actor playing Allen: Hugh Jackman Peter Allen Celebrated in 'Boy From Oz' Oct 15, 11:04 AM EST It seems to have been Peter Allen's fate to be overshadowed by other stars I But you won't find any wacky Iraqis "We set it in the reality of the war, but from there it was all made up 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 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 " 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 " Meryl Streep reprises the role so frighteningly filled by Angela Lansbury (yes, the kindly crimesolver of "Murder, She Wrote") We kind of predated this Bush administration, and we certainly predated the second Gulf War 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 " The reason, Hagopian suggests, is that there's usually redemption â€â€? "a conservative redemption No" and "Goldfinger" focus on "freewheeling capitalists" as bad guys, notes Jeffrey Hart, professor of political science at Indiana University Going back to 1941, Frank Capra's "Meet John Doe" was full of paranoia about business influence, Pitney points out 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 So such films can seem, on the surface, like self-hatred, or at least self-criticism, he says ," "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 "That's certainly something that our society hasn't progressed beyond or redefined as inappropriate 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 Coincidence or not, corporate executives can serve as all-purpose villains, says John J " "Hollywood wants to find villains that won't get them heat from racial/ethnic advocacy groups and who will still `work' with audiences As long ago as 1985, producer Donald Bellisario, whose credits include "Magnum P The only Manchurian is in the name of the villain â€â€? an evil multinational conglomerate In John Frankenheimer's revered original, Chinese Communists were the heavies And businessmen are almost always Goliaths now "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 " "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 But it didn't necessarily start out that way 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 In this era, Pitney says, "David would be flinging five smooth lawsuits against Goliath in a pinstripe suit "One thing that is retained in the remake is the demonizing of female power," notes Larson, the political science professor "The individual is king," 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 No Manchurians in 'Manchurian Candidate' Jul 28, 7:52 AM EST %meta(topic:01005 000;apâ€â€?topic:general entertainment;subtop ic:movies;%) NEW YORK (AP) â€â€? Don't look for any Manchurians in "The Manchurian Candidate" remake " And the giant would fall Don't look for Manchuria, either â€â€? the action stems from the first Gulf War " and other otherworldly creatures can be sweet and protective of puny earthlings One villain that does endure is the viperish virago of "The Manchurian Candidate " 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 It's certainly an old theme for Hollywood, too Tina Sinatra, co-producer of the remake, concedes there are "certain parallels that one could draw to our current political setting " She says she didn't have Halliburton in mind, and neither did co-screenwriter Daniel Pyne "In the movies, David wins, though in the real world Goliath usually wins," he says "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 And in 2001's "Antitrust," Ryan Phillipe's computer programmer gets wise to, then frustrates, the megalomaniacal ambitions of his mentor (Tim Robbins) (Still, you don't have to phone home to know that "E We were writing (the script) a long time ago Ultimately, the companies can be brought to heel "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 T Even early James Bond movies such as "Dr , a professor of government at Claremont McKenna College in California The mad scientist/brainwashe r is a white South African 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 Pitney, Jr |
