Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film (2006)



Odlichan dokumentarac al' samo za prave ljubitelje old school sleshera iz 70-ih i 80-ih. U filmu govore glavni reditelji ovog horor podzanra poput Wes Cravena, Johna Carpentera, pa sve do nove ekipe na chelu sa Rob Zombiem. Pocevshi od '78 i "Halloweena" kao kultnog zachetnika ovog talasa dokumentarac obradjuje svaki bitniji film, poput "Friday the 13th", "Prom Night" i "Happy birthday to me", "Nightmare on the Elm street" a zavrshava se sa "Scream" i tim novim talasom slesher horora koji se polako ali sigurno vraca na velika vrata.

Terrific little documentary which traces the evolution of the slasher subgenre. It is informative and entertaining. The starting point is John Carpenter's seminal "Halloween", with quick looks into older films like "Psycho" and 'Bay of Blood", and the current flock of new slashers. In the documentary, you will see most of the directors that are associated with these kinds of films talk about how they really feel about a much-maligned movie subngre. You will also see endless clips of the most popular and interesting slashers film of the 1970s, 1980s and beyond (anything from "When a Stranger Calls", "Prom Night" and "Pieces", to "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Scream"). The program addresses the claims that this type of movie is inherently misogynic and amoral. For example, the film shows parts of an old 'Siskel & Ebert' program that was dedicated to belittle the slasher subgenre; this in another example of the rampant elitism in film criticism. Not long ago, Bill O'Reilly said that only sick people would want to see movies like "Saw" and "Hills Have Eyes", and his comments reminded me that there are still people out-there who simply do not get it. What I like about this documentary is that it does not preach but explains why slashers appeal to a vast majority of horror aficionados. The documentary does omit a few important titles, but overall, this is an effective dissection (no pun intended) of a type of film. Highly recommended to horror fans.

The God Who Wasn't There (2005)



Director:
Brian Flemming

Meni najbolji dokumentarac o hrishcanstvu do sada a gledo sam ih brdo, neki su bili chisto istorijski, neki propagandni, a neki malo dublji ko ovaj, i preporuchujem ga svima. Dal' je Isus uopshte postojao, dal zaista postoje nauchni dokazi kako crkva tvrdi ili je sve bazirano iskljuchivo na veri. Najbolji deo je brutalna analiza Mel Gibsonovog filma "The Passion of the Christ" koji je inache omiljeni film jednog poveceg dela hriscana u svetu, gde autor detaljnim opisom svake scene zakljuchuje da je to nakrvaviji film ikad snimljen. Mozda samo nekoliko minuta u chitavom filmu nema krvi, sve ostalo je, malo je reci, THE MASAKR kome chuveni Teksashki ne moz ni da pridje. Opasan dokumentrac koji se hriscanskim vernicima verovatno nece svideti jer su pokazane neke stvari koji ne idu bas u prilog hriscanstvu ali posto kod vecine hriscana zdrav razum i logika ne igraju glavnu ulogu vec samo slepa vera ja mislim da mogu da pogledaju cak i ovakav film. Malo cete se nervirati ali ce vas vasha vera u Hrista izbaviti od nedoumica dal je on postojao ili nije jer zaista ako verujes da je nesto bas tako bilo pre samo 2 soma godina pa nema shanse bilo ko da te ubedi u suprotno a posebno ne neki tamo ateista reziser (komunjara i antihrist) pa makar doneo i dokaz crno na belo da Isus nije ni postojao, tako da je opusteno, moze se gleda a bez da se iko potresa ko onomad kad se pojavio Zeitgeist. Peace, love & fate/hate.

Documentary filmmaker Brian Flemming examines the Bible and discusses the history of early Christianity, raising doubts as to whether the New Testament personage Jesus ever really existed. Flemming examines the similarity of the Jesus story to other savior myths of the time and points to inexplicable gaps in early Christian history that combine to shed doubt on the Bible's Jesus story.

Included:Two full-length alternate audio tracks with commentary from evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins (A Devil's Chaplain), scholar Earl Doherty (The Jesus Puzzle) and popular blogger The Raving Atheist (ravingatheist.com)

Vidim da volis dokumentarce pa bih ti preporucio jedan koji sam pogledao nedavno i koji me je sokirao

Philosophy of a Knife (2008) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0961119/

The true history of Japanese Unit 731, from it's beginnings in the 1930's to it's demise in 1945, and the subsequent trials in Khabarovsk, USSR, of many of the Japanese doctors from Unit 731. The facts are told, and previously unknown evidence is revealed by an eyewitness to these events, former doctor and military translator, Anatoly Protasov. Part documentary and part feature, the story is shown from the perspective of a young Japanese nurse who witnessed many of horrors, and a young Japanese officer who is torn between his sincere convictions that he is serving the greater purpose, and the deep sympathy he feels for an imprisoned Russian girl. His life is a living hell as he's compelled to carry out atrocious experiments on the other prisoners, using them as guinea pigs in this shocking tale of mankind's barbarity. Philosophy of a knife is truly one of the most violent, brutal and harrowing movies ever made.

Unit 731, njihove aktivnosti i eksperimenti, quote s wikipedije - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

A special project code-named Maruta used human beings for experiments. Test subjects were gathered from the surrounding population and were sometimes referred to euphemistically as "logs" (丸太, maruta?). This term originated as a joke on the part of the staff due to the fact that the official cover story for the facility given to the local authorities was that it was a lumber mill. The test subjects were selected to give a wide cross section of the population, and included common criminals, captured bandits and anti-Japanese partisans, political prisoners, and also people rounded up by the secret police for alleged "suspicious activities" and included infants, the elderly, and pregnant women.

Vivisection

* Prisoners of war were subjected to vivisection without anesthesia.
* Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Scientists performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body. These were conducted while the patients were alive because it was feared that the decomposition process would affect the results. The infected and vivisected prisoners included men, women, children, and infants.
* Vivisections were also performed on pregnant women, sometimes impregnated by doctors, and the fetus removed.
* Prisoners had limbs amputated in order to study blood loss.
* Those limbs that were removed were sometimes re-attached to the opposite sides of the body.
* Some prisoners' limbs were frozen and amputated, while others had limbs frozen then thawed to study the effects of the resultant untreated gangrene and rotting.
* Some prisoners had their stomachs surgically removed and the esophagus reattached to the intestines.
* Parts of the brain, lungs, liver, etc. were removed from some prisoners.

In 2007, Doctor Ken Yuasa testified to the Japan Times that "I was afraid during my first vivisection, but the second time around, it was much easier. By the third time, I was willing to do it." He believes at least 1,000 persons, including surgeons, were involved in vivisections over mainland China.

Weapons testing

* Human targets were used to test grenades positioned at various distances and in different positions.
* Flame throwers were tested on humans.
* Humans were tied to stakes and used as targets to test germ-releasing bombs, chemical weapons and explosive bombs.

Germ warfare attacks

* Prisoners were injected with inoculations of disease, disguised as vaccinations, to study their effects.
* To study the effects of untreated venereal diseases, male and female prisoners were deliberately infected with syphilis and gonorrhea, then studied.
* Prisoners were infested with fleas in order to acquire large quantities of disease-carrying fleas for the purposes of studying the viability of germ warfare.
* Plague fleas, infected clothing, and infected supplies encased in bombs were dropped on various targets. The resulting cholera, anthrax, and plague were estimated to have killed around 200,000 Chinese civilians.
* Tularemia was tested on Chinese civilians.
* Unit 731 and its affiliated units (Unit 1644, Unit 100, et cetera) were actively involved not only in research and development, but also in experimental deployment of epidemic-creating biowarfare weapons in assaults against the Chinese populace (both civilian and military) throughout World War II. Plague-infested fleas, bred in the laboratories of Unit 731 and Unit 1644, were spread by low-flying airplanes upon Chinese cities, coastal Ningbo in 1940, and Changde, Hunan Province, in 1941. This military aerial spraying killed thousands of people with bubonic plague epidemics.

Other experiments

Prisoners were subjected to other experiments such as:

* being hung upside down to see how long it would take for them to choke to death.
* having air injected into their arteries to determine the time until the onset of embolism.
* having horse urine injected into their kidneys.
* being deprived of food and water to determine the length of time until death.
* being placed into high-pressure chambers until death.
* being exposed to extreme temperatures and developed frostbite to determine how long humans could survive with such an affliction, and to determine the effects of rotting and gangrene on human flesh.
* having experiments performed upon prisoners to determine the relationship between temperature, burns, and human survival.
* being placed into centrifuges and spun until dead.
* having animal blood injected and the effects studied.
* being exposed to lethal doses of x-ray radiation.
* having various chemical weapons tested on prisoners inside gas chambers.
* being injected with sea water to determine if it could be a substitute for saline.

Biological warfare

Japanese scientists performed tests on prisoners with plague, cholera, smallpox, botulism and other diseases. This research led to the development of the defoliation bacilli bomb and the flea bomb used to spread the bubonic plague. Some of these bombs were designed with ceramic (porcelain) shells, an idea proposed by Ishii in 1938. These bombs enabled Japanese soldiers to launch biological attacks, infecting agriculture, reservoirs, wells, and other areas with anthrax, plague-carrier fleas, typhoid, dysentery, cholera, and other deadly pathogens. During biological bomb experiments, scientists dressed in protective suits would examine the dying victims. Infected food supplies and clothing were dropped by airplane into areas of China not occupied by Japanese forces. In addition, poisoned food and candies were given out to unsuspecting victims and children, and examined.

Tesko je i opisati film, ako ga se kao takvog moze i smatrati, to je cisti ''art snuff'' kroz skoro 4 sata izivljavanja nad gledatelju - svakako neponovljivo iskustvo... film nije anti-japanski, niti je imalo politican, nego samo prica zlocina covjeka nad covjekom... ako imas dobar zeludac pogledaj ovo, zapravo tesko je i pogledati u komadu, podijeli si na par dana

[Betmen]

koje perverzije, samo citanje o filmu creeps me out

[A$H]

eto stavio i ja skidat..da pogleda i to cudo..

No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (2005)



Director:
Martin Scorsese

Odlichan dokumentarac Martina Scorsezea o meni omiljenim ranim radovima Boba Dylana dok je bio klinac - folk genije, pure i clean skroz i nije imao rok bend iza sebe i tripovo svashta. Znachi chista akustika, milina jedna. Samo za prave fanove, mada kako ga je Skorseze nabudzio moze se gleda masovno, pa ga zato preporuchujem i onima koji nisu tolko upoznati sa Dylanovom muzikom i josh jachim tekstovima. E to je za mene chist pank : pesme poput Blowin' in the wind, Hard rain, Mr. Tambourin Man, Only a Pawn in their game, The times are changin', Masters of war itd. 3 sata traje ovo ludilo pa ko voli nek izvoli. Bob Dylan prvi panker i prvi koji je ujedno i izdo pank a sve to moze da se vidi u ovom filmu. Awesome.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367555/

No Direction Home is a documentary film by Martin Scorsese that traces the life of Bob Dylan, and his impact on American popular music and culture of the 20th century. The film does not cover Dylan’s entire career; rather, it focuses on his beginnings, his rise to fame in the 1960s, his transformation from an acoustic guitar-based musician and performer to an electric guitar-influenced sound and his “retirement” from touring in 1966 following an infamous motorcycle accident. The film was first presented on television in both the United States (as part of the PBS American Masters series) and the United Kingdom (as part of the BBC Two Arena series) on September 26–27 2005. A DVD version of the film and accompanying soundtrack album (The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home: The Soundtrack) were released that same month.

The project eventually titled as No Direction Home began to take shape in 1995 when Dylan’s manager, Jeff Rosen, began scheduling interviews with Dylan’s friends and associates. Among those interviewed were poet Allen Ginsberg and folk musician Dave Van Ronk, both of whom died before the film was ever completed. Dylan’s old girlfriend Suze Rotolo also granted a rare interview, and she later told Rolling Stone Magazine that she was very pleased with the project’s results. Dylan himself also sat for ten hours in a relaxed and open conversation with Rosen in 2000.

According to Rolling Stone magazine, an unnamed source close to the project claimed that Dylan himself had no involvement with the project apart from the interview, saying that “[Dylan] has no interest in this . . . Bob truly does not look back.” However, work on the first installment of Dylan’s autobiography, Chronicles, Vol. 1, did overlap production of the project, though it’s unclear how much, if any, influence Chronicles may have had on No Direction Home.

Though raw material was being gathered for the project, Rosen needed someone to edit and shape it into a quality picture, and celebrated filmmaker Martin Scorsese was approached to ‘direct’ the documentary planned from the project. Scorsese eventually agreed and came aboard in 2001.

In the meantime, Dylan’s office gathered hundreds of hours of historical film footage dating from the time covered in No Direction Home. These included a scratchy recording of Dylan’s high school rock band, his 1965 screen test for Andy Warhol, and newly-discovered footage of the famous Manchester Free Trade Hall concert from May 17, 1966, when an angry fan John Cordwell, called out “Judas!” just before Dylan and the Hawks performed “Like A Rolling Stone.” Shot by D.A. Pennebaker, the onstage, color footage was found in 2004 in a pile of water-damaged film recovered from Dylan’s vaults.

No Direction Home received a Peabody Award in 2006, and a Columbia-duPont Award in January 2007.

The King of Kong - A Fistful of Quarters (2007)



Skroz zabavan dokumentarac o dva fanatika koji se bore za titulu svetskog shampiona u kultnoj video igri DONKEY KONG. Ovaj prvi Brka je postavio rekord josh davne 1982. kada je bio klinac i od tad ga niko ziv nije prestigo. Iako obichan radnik u supermarketu danas on uziva veliku slavu u tim old skul igrachkim krugovima gde su samo DIE-HARD fanatici koji cene samo stare igre tipa pac-man, tetris itd. Ali avaj, pojavio se novi baja na sceni koji je instalirao video koznolu u svojoj garazi i vredno trenira godinama, zapostavljajuci chak i zenu i decu samo da bi se domog'o titule i slave koja uz nju ide. Najbolja scena je kad on snima svoj pokushaj obaranja rekorda video kamerom i ne znam na kom nivou, ono, burad samo lete, haos na ekranu, ne znam kako ostaje ziv, a klinac mu se dere sa sprata : "tata, obrishi mi dupe", a ovaj vidno popizdeo veli : "NE, samo sad ne, obrishi sam, vec si veliki - mozesh ti to i sam !". I josh samo jedna napomena da ne spojlujem tolko radnju za one koji imaju nameru da pogledaju film. Naime, cela ekipa u filmu ima preko 35 godina, a ima i matoraca od 50-60, oni preziru ove nove moderne video igre, i na takve igrache gledaju sa gnushanjem jer su stare vrednosti za njih jedine prave i josh neprevazidjene. Slozio bih se sa njima shto se tiche MANIC MINER-a npr. jer te old skul platformske igre su po meni mnogo teze od bilo kojih ovih novijih. Ja se i dan danas vishe namuchim sa Manic miner-om (imam emulator naravno) nego sa bilo kojom novijom igrom jer zna se : mala greshchica u koordinaciji i ode sve u qrac pa sve ispochetka. A kad sam ga igro 80-ih na Spectrumu 48-ici, sad kad se setim, pa ja realno nisam stigo dalje od 4. nivoa. Ajme meni sramote. Naravno opet moram da se zahvalim mojoj tetki iz Grchke koja mi je 80-ih i nabacila ovaj Spectrum i tako indirektno unistila moju socijalizaciju na svim nivoima pa u jednom delu i skolovanje jer od kako sam ja dobio to malo kompijuterche ja sa njega nisam izbivao, znachi godine su realno tu prosle pune muka i ginulo se po svim tim igricama za slobodu smelo, i sve sam cepo, od POPEYE pa do JET SET WILIJA, ali naravno MANIC MINER vazda bio i osto kevara, i onda jednog lepog dana tata se vratio ranije kuci sa posla u vidno "umornom" stanju, vido da opet ne uchim no igram igricu na patosu ispred televizora, shutno onaj nesretni ZX (bogdamudushuprosti) i sjebo ga totalno. To me sad podsetilo na onu okultnu pesmicu Elvisa J. Kurtovica "Kad se babo vrati kuci pijan" gde Rizo eksplicitno kaze : "Kad se babo kuci vrati i kad malo popije ko mu proba na put stati shtos u glavu dobije - ooo babo, babo, ooo, ma mojne babo" - Al' dzaba sto sam ja viko "mojne babo", babo ga tako zafelshiro da je iako sav bio od gume i malen razbuco ga ko Pahomije razred osmogodisnjaka na veronauci, i eto tako ja ostadoh bez mog najboljeg drugara i onda sam moro opet da se smaram sa drugom decom i da shutam lopte a nikad nisam bio vichan tim sportovima tako da jbga, bio sam golman vecito i svu krivicu za izgubljene tekme naravno svaljivali na mene, a kad pobedimo onda kao nikom nista. Obrni, okreni, uglavnom jako lose se zavrsila ta avantura po mene. Opet ta patetika al' jbga.

In the early 1980s, legendary Billy Mitchell set a Donkey Kong record that stood for almost 25 years. This documentary follows the assault on the record by Steve Wiebe, an earnest teacher from Washington who took up the game while unemployed. The top scores are monitored by a cadre of players and fans associated with Walter Day, an Iowan who runs Funspot, an annual tournament. Wiebe breaks Mitchell's record in public at Funspot, and Mitchell promptly mails a video tape of himself setting a new record. So Wiebe travels to Florida hoping Mitchell will face him for the 2007 Guinness World Records. Will the mind-game-playing Mitchell engage; who will end up holding the record?

Onibus 174 (2002)
aka Bus 174



Jedan od najjachih dokumentaraca koje sam pogledo u poslednjih par meseci. Naime Brazil je u pitanju, Rio de Janeiro i "incident" oko otmice autobusa u centru grada, gde je lik pokusao da odradi pljachku busa ali ga navatala murija pa je uzeo ceo autobus za taoce, ali naravno dokumentarac ne bi bio tolko zanimljiv da se radnja vrti samo oko otmice, autori traze pozadinu, ko je lik koji je odradio otmicu i sta sve zapravo stoji iza toga i vrlo lako se sve povezuje. Naime otmichar je jedan od te kako ih oni zovu u Brazilu "nevidljive dece" tj. dece koja odrastaju na ulicama Rija, al' kad kazem odrastaju znachi i bukvalno odrastaju bez oca i majke, bez igde ikog, jer tamo zivi zaista puno ljudi a socijalna situacija je nikakva. Narod zivi po tim favelama u totalnoj bedi, nasilja je i previshe, i onda ta deca koja ostanu jos ko mala bez roditelja odlaze da zive skroz sama na ulicama u centru grada jer u favelama za njih nema nade, a u centru turisti i oce da daju po koji dinar, i tamo se polako skupljaju u grupe, u neke vrste decijih bandi nekad od po njih 10-20 a negde i do 80 i spavaju na ulici ili gde se vec snadju, bave se proshnjom, kradjama, i svim ostalim akcijama a sve u cilju prezivljavanja. Naravno posle dolaze i teza krivichna dela, duva se lepak, koriste se sve vrste droga, ali ono sto je bitno ako ste gledali filmove poput "Cidade de Deus" i "Tropa de Elite" ovo je dokumentarac upravo o tome i sigurno ce vam biti zanimljiv jer je za razliku od ova dva zaista odlicna igrana filma ova prica skroz istinita i vise se bavi zivotom te dece na ulici i najbrutalnijim nasiljem, policijskom represijom nad siromashnima koja je medju najvecima u svetu, nego samom otmicom autobusa, jer otmica je samo posledica, a uzrok lezi bas u tim favelama gde narod zivi u totalnom beznadju. Nema sta ja mnogo da peporucujem ovaj film, ko je gledo "Cidade de Deus" i Tropa de Elite" zna se. I sto je najbitnije postoji i srpski prevod a sama chinjenica da nema puno dokumentaraca koji su prevedeni kod nas a da su nabavljeni iskljucivo preko NET-a dovoljno govori kakav je ovo film jer evo ako pogledamo postoji mozda jedva 10-ak dokumentaraca koji su prevedeni na srpski ili neki jezik svima nama razumljiv iz okruzenja (chitaj hrvatski). Bravo za devojku koja se iscimala za ovaj prevod jer zaista vredi a koja mi je ujedno i preporucila ovaj film jer tesko da bih ga sam iskopo. A iskreno i ja bi uradio prevod za "Paradise Lost" al mi prvo treba engleski subtitle sa original DVD-a a to jos nigde nisam nasao, no videcemo jos. Ocena na IMDb-u je 7.9/10 od 2,093 glasova pa ko ceni njihov nachin ocenjivanja eto mu i taj rad. I naravno 2 sata traje ovaj dokumentarac a da ne moz bukvalno da uzmaknete od ekrana, jer ko sto rekoh dobar dokumentarac bez bar sat i po vremena ne postoji. Shto bi rekli amerikanci really moving story a.k.a. jako potresna prica puna emocija svih vrsta.

Documentary depicts what happened in Rio de Janeiro on June 12th 2000, when bus 174 was taken by an armed young man, threatening to shoot all the passengers. Transmitted live on all Brazilian TV networks, this shocking and tragic-ending event became one of violence's most shocking portraits, and one of the scariest examples of police incompetence and abuse in recent years.
